No Trade Zone Indicator [CHE]No Trade Zone Indicator
The "No Trade Zone Indicator " is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify periods when the market may not present favorable trading opportunities. By analyzing the percentage change in the 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA20) relative to a dynamically adjusted threshold based on market volatility, this indicator highlights times when it's prudent to stay out of the market.
Why Knowing When Not to Trade Is Important
Understanding when not to trade is just as crucial as knowing when to enter or exit a position. Trading during periods of low volatility or uncertain market direction can lead to unnecessary risks and potential losses. By recognizing these "No Trade Zones," you can:
- Avoid Low-Probability Trades: Reduce the chances of entering trades with unfavorable risk-to-reward ratios.
- Preserve Capital: Protect your investment from unpredictable market movements.
- Enhance Focus: Concentrate on high-quality trading opportunities that align with your strategy.
How the Indicator Works
- SMA20 Calculation: Computes the 20-period Simple Moving Average of closing prices to identify the market's short-term trend.
- ATR Measurement: Calculates the Average True Range (ATR) over a user-defined period (default is 14) to assess market volatility.
- Dynamic Threshold: Determines an adjusted threshold by multiplying the ATR percentage by a Threshold Adjustment Factor (default is 0.05).
- Trend Analysis: Compares the percentage change of the SMA20 against the adjusted threshold to evaluate market momentum.
- Status Identification:
- Long: Indicates a rising SMA20 above the threshold—suggesting a potential upward trend.
- Short: Indicates a falling SMA20 above the threshold—suggesting a potential downward trend.
- No Trade: Signals when the SMA20 change is below the threshold, marking a period of low volatility or indecision.
Features
- Customizable Settings: Adjust the ATR period and Threshold Adjustment Factor to suit different trading styles and market conditions.
- Visual Indicators: Colored columns represent market status—green for "Long," red for "Short," and gray for "No Trade."
- On-Chart Table: An optional table displays the current market status directly on your chart for quick reference.
- Alerts: Set up alerts to receive notifications when the market enters a "No Trade Zone," helping you stay informed without constant monitoring.
How to Use the Indicator
1. Add to Chart: Apply the "No Trade Zone Indicator " to your preferred trading chart on TradingView.
2. Configure Settings: Customize the ATR period and Threshold Adjustment Factor based on your analysis and risk tolerance.
3. Interpret Signals:
- Green Columns: Consider looking for buying opportunities as the market shows upward momentum.
- Red Columns: Consider looking for selling opportunities as the market shows downward momentum.
- Gray Columns: Refrain from trading as the market lacks clear direction.
4. Monitor Alerts: Use the alert feature to get notified when the market status changes, allowing you to make timely decisions.
Conclusion
Incorporating the "No Trade Zone Indicator " into your trading toolkit can enhance your decision-making process by clearly indicating when the market may not be conducive to trading. By focusing on periods with favorable conditions and avoiding low-volatility times, you can improve your trading performance and achieve better results over the long term.
*Trade wisely, and remember—the best trade can sometimes be no trade at all.*

5-Minute YEN Pivot Bars 1.0The 5-Minute YEN Pivot Bars indicator is designed to identify and highlight low-range pivot bars on 5-minute charts, specifically tailored for Yen-based pairs (e.g., GBPJPY, USDJPY). By focusing on precise pip thresholds, this tool helps traders detect potential pivot points within specific trading sessions, while avoiding inside bars and other noise often seen in low-volatility conditions. This can be particularly useful for trend traders and those looking to refine their entry points based on intraday reversals.
Key Features:
- Customized Pip Thresholds for Yen Pairs:
The indicator is pre-configured for Yen pairs, where 1 pip is typically represented by 0.01. It applies these thresholds:
- Limited Range: 4 pips or less between open and close prices.
- High/Low Directionality: At least 3 pips from the close/open to the bar's high or low.
- Open/Close Proximity: 4 pips or less between open and close.
- Inside Bar Tolerance: A tolerance of 3 pips for inside bars, helping reduce false signals from bars contained within the previous bar's range.
- Session-Specific Alerts:
- The indicator allows you to enable alerts for the European Session (6:00-12:00), American Session (12:00-17:00), and London Close (17:00-20:00). You can adjust these times based on your own trading hours or timezone preferences via a time-shift setting.
- Receive real-time alerts when a valid bullish or bearish pivot bar is identified within the chosen sessions, allowing you to respond to potential trade opportunities immediately.
- Time Shift Customization:
- Adjust the "Time Shift" parameter to account for different time zones, ensuring accurate session alignment regardless of your local time.
How It Works:
1. Pivot Bar Identification:
The indicator scans for bars where the difference between the open and close is within the "Limited Range" threshold, and both open and close prices are close to either the high or the low of the bar.
2. Directional Filtering:
It requires the bar to show strong directional bias by enforcing an additional distance between the open/close levels and the opposite end of the bar (high/low). Only bars with this directional structure are considered for highlighting.
3. Exclusion of Inside Bars:
Bars that are completely contained within the range of the previous bar are excluded (inside bars), as are consecutive inside bars. This filtering is essential to avoid marking bars that typically indicate consolidation rather than potential pivot points.
4. Session Alerts:
When a valid pivot bar appears within the selected sessions, an alert is triggered, notifying the trader of a potential trading signal. Bullish and bearish signals are differentiated based on whether the close is near the high or low.
How to Use:
- Trend Reversals: Use this indicator to spot potential trend reversals or pullbacks on a 5-minute chart, especially within key trading sessions.
- Entry and Exit Points: Highlighted bars can serve as potential entry points for traders looking to capitalize on short-term directional changes or continuation patterns.
- Combine with Other Indicators: Consider pairing this tool with momentum indicators or trendlines to confirm the signals, providing a comprehensive analysis framework.
Default Parameters:
- Limited Range: 4 Pips
- High/Low Directionality: 3 Pips
- Open/Close Proximity: 4 Pips
- Inside Bar Tolerance: 3 Pips
- Session Alerts: Enabled for European, American, and London Close sessions
- Time Shift: Default 6 (adjustable to align with different time zones)
This indicator is specifically optimized for Yen pairs on 5-minute charts due to its pip calculation.
Vertical Line on Custom DateThis Pine Script code creates a custom indicator for TradingView that draws a vertical line on the chart at a specific date and time defined by the user.
User Input: Allows the user to specify the day, hour, and minute when the vertical line should appear.
Vertical Line Drawing: When the current date and time match the user’s inputs, a vertical line is drawn on the chart at the corresponding bar, offset by one bar to align properly.
Customizable Color and Width: The vertical line is displayed in purple with a customizable width.
Overall, this indicator helps traders visually mark important dates and times on their price charts.
Weekly High/Low Day BreakdownThe "Weekly High/Low Day Breakdown" is a tool designed to help identify patterns in market behaviour by analysing the days of the week when weekly highs and lows occur. This indicator calculates the frequency and percentage of weekly highs and lows for each day from Monday to Sunday within the visible range of your chart.
Features:
Weekly Analysis: Calculates weekly highs and lows based on daily open high and low prices from Monday to Sunday.
Day-Specific Breakdown: Tracks which day of the week each weekly high and low occurred.
Visible Range Focus: Only considers data within the current visible range of your chart for precise analysis.
Interactive Table Display: Presents the results in an easy-to-read table directly on your chart.
How It Works:
Data Collection: Fetches daily high, low, day of the week, and time data regardless of your chart's timeframe. Uses these daily figures to determine the weekly high and low for each week.
Weekly Tracking: Monitors the day of the week when the weekly high and low prices occur. Resets tracking at the end of each week (Sunday).
Visible Range Analysis: Only includes weeks that fall entirely within the visible time range of your chart. Ensures that the analysis is relevant to the period you are focusing on.
Percentage Calculation: Counts the occurrences of weekly highs and lows for each day. Calculates the percentage based on the total number of weeks in the visible range.
Result Display: Generates a table with days of the week as columns and "Weekly High" and "Weekly Low" as rows. Displays the percentage values, indicating how often highs and lows occur on each day.
How to Use:
Add the Indicator: Apply the "Weekly High/Low Day Breakdown" indicator to your TradingView chart.
Adjust Visible Range: Zoom in or out to set the desired visible time range for your analysis.
Interpret the Table:
Columns: Represent days from Monday to Sunday.
"Weekly High" Row: Shows the percentage of times the weekly high occurred on each day. "Weekly Low" Row: Shows the percentage of times the weekly low occurred on each day.
Colors: Blue text indicates high percentages, red text indicates low percentages.
Example Interpretation:
If the table shows a 30% value under "Tuesday" for "Weekly High," it means that in 30% of the weeks within the visible range, the highest price of the week occurred on a Tuesday.
Similarly, a 40% value under "Friday" for "Weekly Low" indicates that 40% of the weekly lows happened on a Friday.
ICT Master Suite [Trading IQ]Hello Traders!
We’re excited to introduce the ICT Master Suite by TradingIQ, a new tool designed to bring together several ICT concepts and strategies in one place.
The Purpose Behind the ICT Master Suite
There are a few challenges traders often face when using ICT-related indicators:
Many available indicators focus on one or two ICT methods, which can limit traders who apply a broader range of ICT related techniques on their charts.
There aren't many indicators for ICT strategy models, and we couldn't find ICT indicators that allow for testing the strategy models and setting alerts.
Many ICT related concepts exist in the public domain as indicators, not strategies! This makes it difficult to verify that the ICT concept has some utility in the market you're trading and if it's worth trading - it's difficult to know if it's working!
Some users might not have enough chart space to apply numerous ICT related indicators, which can be restrictive for those wanting to use multiple ICT techniques simultaneously.
The ICT Master Suite is designed to offer a comprehensive option for traders who want to apply a variety of ICT methods. By combining several ICT techniques and strategy models into one indicator, it helps users maximize their chart space while accessing multiple tools in a single slot.
Additionally, the ICT Master Suite was developed as a strategy . This means users can backtest various ICT strategy models - including deep backtesting. A primary goal of this indicator is to let traders decide for themselves what markets to trade ICT concepts in and give them the capability to figure out if the strategy models are worth trading!
What Makes the ICT Master Suite Different
There are many ICT-related indicators available on TradingView, each offering valuable insights. What the ICT Master Suite aims to do is bring together a wider selection of these techniques into one tool. This includes both key ICT methods and strategy models, allowing traders to test and activate strategies all within one indicator.
Features
The ICT Master Suite offers:
Multiple ICT strategy models, including the 2022 Strategy Model and Unicorn Model, which can be built, tested, and used for live trading.

How To Use
Many traders will already be familiar with the ICT related concepts listed above, and will find using the ICT Master Suite quite intuitive!
Despite this, let's go over the features of the tool in-depth and how to use the tool!
The image above shows the ICT Master Suite with almost all techniques activated.
ICT 2022 Strategy Model
The ICT Master suite provides the ability to test, set alerts for, and live trade the ICT 2022 Strategy Model.
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the 2022 ICT model.
A liquidity sweep occurs prior to an upside breakout. During the upside breakout the model looks for the FVG that is nearest 50% of the setup range. A limit order is placed at this FVG for entry.
The target entry percentage for the range is customizable in the settings. For instance, you can select to enter at an FVG nearest 33% of the range, 20%, 66%, etc.
The profit target for the model generally uses the highest high of the range (100%) for longs and the lowest low of the range (100%) for shorts. Stop losses are generally set at 0% of the range.
The image above shows the short model in action!
Whether you decide to follow the 2022 model diligently or not, you can still set alerts when the entry condition is met.
ICT Unicorn Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the ICT Unicorn model.
A lower swing low followed by a higher swing high precedes the overlap of an FVG and breaker block formed during the sequence.
During the upside breakout the model looks for an FVG and breaker block that formed during the sequence and overlap each other. A limit order is placed at the nearest overlap point to current price.
The profit target for this example trade is set at the swing high and the stop loss at the swing low. However, both the profit target and stop loss for this model are configurable in the settings.
For Longs, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing High
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
For Longs, the selectable stop losses are:
Swing Low
Bottom of FVG or breaker block
The image above shows the short version of the Unicorn Model in action!
For Shorts, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing Low
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
For Shorts, the selectable stop losses are:
Swing High
Top of FVG or breaker block
The image above shows the profit target and stop loss options in the settings for the Unicorn Model.
Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the OTE model.
Price retraces either 0.62, 0.705, or 0.79 of an upside move and a trade is entered.
The profit target for this example trade is set at the -0.5 fib level. This is also adjustable in the settings.
For Longs, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing High
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
The image above shows the short version of the OTE Model in action!
For Shorts, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing Low
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
Liquidity Raid Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the Liquidity Raid Modell.
The user must define the session in the settings (for this example it is 13:30-16:00 NY time).
During the session, the indicator will calculate the session high and session low. Following a “raid” of either the session high or session low (after the session has completed) the script will look for an entry at a recently formed breaker block.
If the session high is raided the script will look for short entries at a bearish breaker block. If the session low is raided the script will look for long entries at a bullish breaker block.
For Longs, the profit target options are:
Swing high
User inputted Lib level
For Longs, the stop loss options are:
Swing low
User inputted Lib level
Breaker block bottom
The image above shows the short version of the Liquidity Raid Model in action!
For Shorts, the profit target options are:
Swing Low
User inputted Lib level
For Shorts, the stop loss options are:
Swing High
User inputted Lib level
Breaker block top
Silver Bullet Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the Silver Bullet Modell.
During the session, the indicator will determine the higher timeframe bias. If the higher timeframe bias is bullish the strategy will look to enter long at an FVG that forms during the session. If the higher timeframe bias is bearish the indicator will look to enter short at an FVG that forms during the session.
For Longs, the profit target options are:
Nearest Swing High Above Entry
Previous Day High
For Longs, the stop loss options are:
Nearest Swing Low
Previous Day Low
The image above shows the short version of the Silver Bullet Model in action!
For Shorts, the profit target options are:
Nearest Swing Low Below Entry
Previous Day Low
For Shorts, the stop loss options are:
Nearest Swing High
Previous Day High

Strategy Performance Table
In addition to a full-fledged TradingView backtest for any of the ICT strategy models the indicator offers, a quick-and-easy strategy table exists for the indicator!
The image above shows the strategy performance table in action.
Keep in mind that, because the ICT Master Suite is a strategy script, you can perform fully automatic backtests, deep backtests, easily add commission and portfolio balance and look at pertinent metrics for the ICT strategies you are testing!
Lite Mode
Traders who want the cleanest chart possible can toggle on “Lite Mode”!
In Lite Mode, any neon or “glow” like effects are removed and key levels are marked as strict border boxes. You can also select to remove box borders if that’s what you prefer!
Settings Used For Backtest
For the displayed backtest, a starting balance of $1000 USD was used. A commission of 0.02%, slippage of 2 ticks, a verify price for limit orders of 2 ticks, and 5% of capital investment per order.
A commission of 0.02% was used due to the backtested asset being a perpetual future contract for a crypto currency. The highest commission (lowest-tier VIP) for maker orders on many exchanges is 0.02%. All entered positions take place as maker orders and so do profit target exits. Stop orders exist as stop-market orders.
A slippage of 2 ticks was used to simulate more realistic stop-market orders. A verify limit order settings of 2 ticks was also used. Even though BTCUSDT.P on Binance is liquid, we just want the backtest to be on the safe side. Additionally, the backtest traded 100+ trades over the period. The higher the sample size the better; however, this example test can serve as a starting point for traders interested in ICT concepts.
Community Assistance And Feedback
Given the complexity and idiosyncratic applications of ICT concepts amongst its proponents, the ICT Master Suite’s built-in strategies and level identification methods might not align with everyone's interpretation.
That said, the best we can do is precisely define ICT strategy rules and concepts to a repeatable process, test, and apply them! Whether or not an ICT strategy is trading precisely how you would trade it, seeing the model in action, taking trades, and with performance statistics is immensely helpful in assessing predictive utility.
If you think we missed something, you notice a bug, have an idea for strategy model improvement, please let us know! The ICT Master Suite is an ongoing project that will, ideally, be shaped by the community.
A big thank you to the @PineCoders for their Time Library!
Thank you!
ICT Panther (By Obicrypto) V1 ICT Panther Indicator: Full and Detailed Description
The ICT Panther Indicator, created by Obicrypto, is an advanced technical analysis tool designed specifically for traders looking to identify key price action events based on institutional trading techniques, particularly in the context of the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. This indicator helps traders spot market structure breaks, order blocks, and potential trade opportunities driven by institutional behaviors in the market. Here's a detailed breakdown of its features and how it works:
What Does the ICT Panther Indicator Do?
1. Market Structure Breaks (MSB) Identification:
The ICT Panther identifies critical points where the market changes direction, commonly referred to as a break of structure (BoS). When the price breaks above or below certain key levels (based on highs and lows or opens and closes), it signals a potential shift in market sentiment. These break-of-structure points are essential for traders to determine whether the market is likely to continue its trend or reverse.
2. Order Blocks Visualization:
The indicator plots demand (bullish) and supply (bearish) boxes, which represent areas where institutional traders might place significant buy or sell orders. These zones, known as order blocks, are areas where the price tends to pause or reverse, giving traders key insights into potential entry and exit points. The indicator shows these areas graphically as colored boxes on the chart, which can be used to plan trades based on market structure and price action.
3. Pivot Point Detection:
The ICT Panther identifies important pivot points by tracking higher highs and lower lows. These pivot points are critical in determining the strength of a trend and can help traders confirm the direction of the market. The indicator uses a unique algorithm to detect two levels of pivot points:
- First-Order Pivots: Major pivot points where the price makes notable highs and lows.
- Second-Order Pivots: Smaller pivot points, useful for detecting microtrends within the larger market structure.
4. Bullish and Bearish Break of Structure Lines:
When a significant market structure break (BoS) occurs, the indicator will automatically draw red lines (for bearish break of structure) and green lines (for bullish break of structure) at key price levels. These lines help traders quickly see where institutional moves have occurred in the past and where potential future price moves could originate from.
5. Tested and Filled Boxes:
The ICT Panther also has a built-in mechanism to dim previously tested order blocks. When the price tests an order block (returns to a previous demand or supply zone), the box's color dims to indicate that the area has already been tested, reducing its significance. If the price fully fills an order block, the box stops plotting, providing a clear and clutter-free chart.
Key Features
1. Market Structure Break (MSB) Trigger:
- The indicator allows users to select between highs/lows or opens/closes as the trigger for market structure breaks. This flexibility lets traders adjust the indicator to suit their personal trading style or the behavior of specific assets.
2. Order Block Detection and Visualization:
- The tool automatically plots bullish and bearish demand and supply boxes, representing institutional order blocks on the chart. These boxes provide visual cues for areas of potential price action, where institutional traders might be active.
3. Second-Order Pivot Highlighting:
- The ICT Panther offers an option to plot second-order pivots, highlighting smaller pivot points within the larger market structure. These pivots can be helpful for short-term traders who need to react to smaller price movements while still keeping the larger trend in mind.
4. Box Test and Fill Delays:
- Users can configure delays for box tests and box fills, meaning the indicator will only mark a box as tested or filled after a certain number of bars. This prevents false signals and helps confirm that a zone is truly significant in the market.
5. Customization and Visual Clarity:
- The indicator is highly customizable, allowing users to turn on or off various features like:
- Displaying second-order pivots.
- Highlighting candles that broke structure.
- Plotting market structure broke lines.
- Showing or hiding tested and filled demand boxes.
- Setting custom delays for box testing and filling to suit different market conditions.
6. Tested and Filled Order Block Visualization:
- The indicator visually adjusts the tested and filled order blocks, dimming tested zones and removing filled zones to avoid clutter on the chart. This ensures that traders can focus on active trading opportunities without distractions from historical data.
How Does It Work?
1. Detecting Market Structure Breaks (BoS):
- The indicator continuously tracks the market for key price action signals. When the price breaks through previous highs or lows (or opens and closes, depending on your selection), the indicator marks this as a break of structure. This is a critical signal used by institutional traders and retail traders alike to determine potential future price movements.
2. Order Block Identification:
- Whenever a bullish break of structure occurs, the indicator plots a green demand box to show the area where institutional buyers might have placed significant orders. Similarly, for a bearish break of structure, it plots a red supply box representing areas where institutional sellers are active.
3. Pivot Analysis and Tracking:
- As the market moves, the indicator continuously updates first-order and second-order pivot points based on highs and lows. These points help traders identify whether the market is trending or consolidating. Traders can use these pivot points in combination with the order blocks to make informed trading decisions.
4. Box Testing and Filling:
- When the price retests an existing order block, the box dims to show it has been tested. If the price fully fills the box, it is no longer shown, which helps traders focus on the most relevant, untested order blocks.
Benefits for Traders
- Improved Decision-Making: With clear visuals and advanced logic based on institutional trading strategies, this indicator provides a deeper understanding of market structure and price action.
- Reduced Clutter: The indicator intelligently manages the display of order blocks and pivot points, ensuring that traders focus only on the most relevant information.
- Adaptability: Whether you are a swing trader or a day trader, the ICT Panther can be adjusted to fit your trading style, offering robust and flexible tools for tracking market structure and order blocks.
- Institutional Edge: By identifying institutional-level order blocks and market structure breaks, traders using this indicator can trade in line with the strategies of large market participants.
Who Should Use the ICT Panther Indicator?
This indicator is ideal for:
- Crypto, Forex, and Stock Traders who want to incorporate institutional trading concepts into their strategies.
- Technical Analysts looking for precise tools to measure the market structure and price action.
- ICT Traders who follow the Inner Circle Trader methodology and want an advanced tool to automate and enhance their analysis.
- Price Action Traders seeking a reliable indicator to track pivot points, order blocks, and market structure breaks.
The ICT Panther Indicator is a powerful, versatile tool that brings institutional trading techniques to the fingertips of retail traders. Whether you are looking to identify key market structure breaks, order blocks, or crucial pivot points, this indicator offers detailed visualizations and customizable options to help you make more informed trading decisions. With its ability to track the activities of institutional traders, the ICT Panther Indicator equips traders with the insights needed to stay ahead of the market and trade with confidence.
With the ICT Panther Indicator, traders can follow the movements of institutional money, making it easier to predict market direction and capitalize on high-probability trading opportunities.

Cumulative Volume Delta with VWAP-based Buy/Sell AlertsDescription:
This script combines Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) with Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) to generate buy and sell signals. It plots both the cumulative volume delta and its moving average on the chart, but the actual buy and sell signals are now based on the crossover and crossunder of the price with the VWAP, a popular tool for tracking price relative to the volume-weighted average over time.
Features:
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Plot:
CVD helps visualize the net buying or selling pressure by accumulating volume when the price is rising and subtracting it when the price is falling. The cumulative volume is plotted on the chart as a blue line.
Moving Average of CVD:
A simple moving average (SMA) of the cumulative volume delta is plotted in orange to smooth out fluctuations and help detect the trend of volume flow.
VWAP Calculation:
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) is a standard benchmark widely used in trading. It gives insight into whether the price is trading above or below the average price at which most of the volume has traded, weighted by volume. The VWAP is plotted as a purple line on the chart.
Buy/Sell Signals Based on VWAP:
Buy Signal: Triggered when the price crosses above the VWAP, indicating potential upward momentum.
Sell Signal: Triggered when the price crosses below the VWAP, signaling potential downward momentum.
These signals are displayed on the chart with clear labels:
Buy Signal: A green upward label appears below the price.
Sell Signal: A red downward label appears above the price.
Alerts for Buy/Sell Conditions:
Alerts are built into the script, so traders can receive notifications when the following conditions are met:
Buy Alert: The price crosses above the VWAP.
Sell Alert: The price crosses below the VWAP.
Use Case:
This script is useful for traders looking to incorporate both volume-based indicators and the VWAP into their trading strategy. The combination of CVD and VWAP provides a more comprehensive view of both price and volume dynamics:
VWAP helps traders understand whether the price is trading above or below its volume-weighted average.
CVD highlights buying or selling pressure through cumulative volume analysis.
Customization:
Anchor Periods: The user can customize the anchor period to suit different timeframes and trading styles.
Custom Alerts: The alert conditions can be easily modified to integrate into any trader’s strategy.
This script can be adapted for both short-term and long-term trading strategies and is especially useful in high-volume markets.
How to Use:
Add the script to your TradingView chart.
Customize the timeframe and anchor period, if needed, to match your preferred trading style.
Watch for Buy/Sell signals based on price crossing the VWAP.
Set up alerts to receive notifications when Buy or Sell signals are triggered.
This script is designed to help traders make informed decisions based on both price action relative to volume and Cumulative Delta volume trends, giving a more comprehensive view of the market dynamics.
PnF Bullish & Bearish Trend Line Indicator with Proximity AlertThis Pine Script indicator, "PnF Bullish and Bearish Trend line Proximity Alert," overlays on a trading chart to monitor and alert users about interactions with bullish and bearish trend lines derived from Point and Figure (PnF) charting.
Key Features:
Inputs: Users can set parameters such as box size, bullish and bearish angles (in degrees), and a proximity threshold for detecting touches.
Slope Calculation: The script calculates the slopes for bullish and bearish trendlines using the tangent of the specified angles.
Trendline Management:
It initializes and updates trend lines based on price interactions, adjusting their starting points and positions as conditions change.
Proximity Detection: The indicator checks if the current price is close enough to the trend lines and sets conditions for alerts.
Alerts: Users receive alerts when both trend lines are touched, enhancing decision-making for trading strategies.

Volume candle by MoondIndicator Description: Equal Volume Candle Chart
This indicator creates a real-time candlestick chart where each candle forms upon the completion of a specific volume threshold, rather than within fixed time intervals. The candles update dynamically based on the total volume traded, providing a unique perspective that incorporates market activity directly into price movements.
Key Features:
Dynamic Candles Based on Volume: Candles form when a defined lot size of volume is reached, making each candle represent consistent trading activity rather than a fixed time period.
Customizable Volume Lot Size: Users can easily adjust the volume threshold to suit different trading styles or asset classes.
Real-Time Market Reflection: The chart responds to changes in market volume, offering a clearer view of market intensity and momentum.
Concept Behind the Indicator: Traditional candlestick charts operate on time intervals, which can ignore the influence of volume in price changes. By basing the candle formation on equal volumes, this indicator integrates both price and traded volume into the visual representation, helping traders capture key shifts in market sentiment and activity that might be missed on time-based charts
Custom Pattern DetectionOverview
Chart Patterns is a major tool for many traders. Pattern formation at specific location on the chart is used for investment/trading decisions.
This indicator is designed in a way to allow investors/traders to define patterns of their choice based on certain input parameters and then detect defined pattern on the chart.
Investors/traders can use their own creativity to create and detect patterns.
This indicator works in 2 modes
Create Pattern: One can define a pattern and verify sample pattern formation visually
Detect Pattern: Detect and mark patterns on the chart
Settings
Create Custom Pattern:
Show Custom Pattern – This will mark the pattern lines on the chart so that one can verify how pattern appears based on the input’s parameters provided for lines XA, AB, BC, CD, DE, EF
Offset – Used while pattern creation. Offset is horizonal distance between 2 lines.
XA Points – Used to draw XA line when sample pattern is drawn. XA points can be a negative or position number.
XA line is drawn based on Offset and XA Points. E.g. Offset = 5 and XA Points = -20. In this line would be drawn from last candle high to high – 20 (these are y1 and y2 points of a line). While drawing line distance of 5 candles would be placed between 2 line points (these are x1 and x2 points of a line). In XA line X forms start point and A forms end point of the line.
Line AB – Line AB is drawn from point X. To derive the end point of AB, average Fib% is derived based on From Fib% and To Fib% parameters. Finally end point is derived by applying Fib Retracement on Line XA based on average Fib%.
Line AB to Line EF – These points are derived as explained in Line AB.
The indicator can be used to define/create patterns up to 6 legs/lines. The line would be named as XA -> AB -> BC -> CD -> DE -> EF.
If one wish to create pattern consisting 3 legs then it can be achieved by unchecking/deselecting Line CD, DE and EF or by checking only Line AB and BC.
Based on the parameters above indicator draws a sample pattern after last candle/bar on the chart. Sample pattern helps to visually see how pattern will appear on the chart.
Pattern Identification
Indicator derive the swing high/low points based on the Pivot lookback and use as reference points while detecting patterns.
Use of From Fib% and To Fib% - While detecting pattern, retracement price points are derived for From Fib% and To Fib%. Price points between from Fib% and To Fib% are treated as valid retracement points.

Three Drive Pattern Detector [LuxAlgo]The Three Drives Pattern Detector indicator focuses on detecting and displaying completed Three Drives patterns on the user chart. This harmonic pattern is characterized by successive higher highs / lower lows following specific ratios.
The script uses a multi-length swing detection approach, as well as adjusting ratios to ensure flexibility and a maximum number of visible Three Drives patterns.
🔶 USAGE
The bullish/bearish Three Drives pattern is commonly interpreted as a reversal pattern and is characterized by three extensions (drives) and two intermediary retracements creating consecutive higher lows (for a bullish case) or lower highs (for a bearish case).
The multi-length swing detection approach taken by the indicator allows for detecting shorter-term alongside medium/longer-term patterns simultaneously, allowing to increase in the amount of detected patterns.
Users can set a Minimum Swing length (for example 2) and a Maximum Swing length (for example 100) which defines the range of the swing point detection length, higher values for these settings will detect longer-term Three-Drives patterns, while a larger range will allow for the detection of a larger number of patterns.
Sometimes multiple dashed lines as the last segment can be observed. This means multiple Three Drives patterns sharing multiple swing points have formed, with only the last segment being different.
🔹 Retracement/Extension Ratios
The Three Drives pattern often associates the retracement/extension to Fibonacci ratios of respectively 0.618/1.272.
Some sources specify a maximum retracement/extension level of 0.786/1.618, which means the retracement should be within the 0.618-0.786 range and the extension between 1.272-1.618.
Since finding a pattern where the retracement/extension is precisely at the 0.618/1.272 levels, or even between 0.618-0.786/1.272-1.618 is rare, the script allows users to adjust those ratios, which ensures more flexibility. Depending on the widening/tightening of the ratios, allowing users to find more patterns (but potentially less valid) or more valid (but fewer patterns).
In the example above, " Show Ratios " is set to " Ratios With Margin ", showing the ideal retracement/extension level together with the margin, while in the example below, " Show Ratios " is set to " Ratios ", which shows only a line where the price should ideally reverse.
While setting the ratios wider will result in more frequent but less valid patterns, it can also create good trading opportunities.
🔹 Best Practices
The indicator doesn't include Stop Loss (SL) or Take Profit (TP) levels, however, the 1.618 Fibonacci Extension level of the last leg can commonly be used as stop loss.
Typical Take Profit areas include:
Starting point of the pattern
Each retracement level (2x)
The 0.618 retracement level of the complete pattern
In the above bullish examples, the price was lower than the lowest point of the pattern. The price reversed and attained all TP levels without hitting the SL level.
In the above bearish example, the price went above the highest point of the pattern but did not hit the SL level, after which two TP levels were hit. Then, the price quickly went up, just missing the SL level before it came back down again, hitting the last 2 TP levels.
This example shows that other Fibonacci levels an also be effective when combined with the Three Drives pattern, even in the longer term.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Multi Length
The core of this publication is the multi-length swing detection. To ensure the maximum amount of Three Drives patterns are found, up to 99 different swing length periods can be used to detect swing points which are then tested for valid patterns.
Using a wider variety of swing points also ensures that patterns visible only with specific Swing settings can be found on the same chart without the user needing to constantly adjust the Swing settings to find other patterns.
The user only needs to set the desired minimum and maximum Swing Length.
In this case, swing detection using swing Lengths from 3 to 100 (97 different) are computed and evaluated for patterns. Three different patterns were found on the same chart, with swing lengths 3, 4, and 6.
Note: The Maximum Swing length should be equal to or higher than the Minimum Swing Length . If the maximum value is lower than the minimum, the script will automatically take the minimum value as the maximum to prevent errors.
🔹 Width Margin %
Users can filter out patterns based on the duration of each extension/retracement segment. When the users want segments of the detected patterns to be of a similar duration, the width percentage should be set lower. When the focus is on detecting more patterns the width percentage can be set higher.
🔹 Retracement/Extension Settings
Show Ratios , set to Ratios , show the ideal Fibonacci retracement/extension level, while Ratios With Margin (example below) show the additional margins for retracement/extension.
The upper and lower limits can be visualized while hovering over the calculated ratio label.
The dashed line shows an older pattern, where the last leg has been updated.
🔹 Last Known Pattern
The included dashboard highlights the date of the most recently detected pattern; the text will show " None " if no pattern is found.
🔹 Calculated Bars
The "Calculated Bars" setting makes use of the recently introduced calc_bars_count parameter, making it possible to effectively reduce the number of historical bars during the computation of the script, which significantly improves the loading speed of the script.
Users wishing to see the most recent patterns can set this setting to 1000 for example, where only the most recent 1000 bars are used to find patterns. If every bar must be used for pattern detection, set " Calculated bars " at 0.
🔶 SETTINGS
Minimum Swing Length: Minimum length used for the swing detection.
Maximum Swing Length: Maximum length used for the swing detection.
Retracement: Range of required ratios used for testing retracements.
Extension: Range of required ratios used for testing extensions.
Width Margin: Influences the symmetry of the pattern; with a higher number allowing for less symmetry.
🔹 Style
Text Size: Text size of the ratio labels.
Show Ratios: Show the ideal ratio, upper/lower limit of ratios, or none.
🔹 Dashboard
Show Dashboard: Toggle dashboard which shows the date of the last found pattern.
Location: Location of the dashboard on the chart.
Size: Text size.
🔹 Calculation
Calculated Bars: Allows the usage of fewer bars for performance/speed improvement.
nPOC Levels by Tyler### Explanation of the Pine Script
This Pine Script identifies and displays weekly naked Points of Control (nPOCs) on a TradingView chart. An nPOC represents a Point of Control (POC) from a previous week that has not been revisited by price action in subsequent weeks. These nPOCs are extended to the right as horizontal lines, indicating potential support or resistance levels.
#### Script Overview
1. **Indicator Declaration:**
```pinescript
//@version=5
indicator("Weekly nPOCs", overlay=true)
```
- The script is defined as a version 5 Pine Script.
- The `indicator` function sets the script's name ("Weekly nPOCs") and specifies that the indicator should be overlaid on the price chart (`overlay=true`).
2. **Function to Calculate POC:**
```pinescript
f_poc(_hl2, _vol) =>
var float vol_profile = na
if (na(vol_profile))
vol_profile := array.new_float(100, 0.0)
_bin_size = (high - low) / 100
for i = 0 to 99
if _hl2 >= low + i * _bin_size and _hl2 < low + (i + 1) * _bin_size
array.set(vol_profile, i, array.get(vol_profile, i) + _vol)
max_volume = array.max(vol_profile)
poc_index = array.indexof(vol_profile, max_volume)
poc_price = low + poc_index * _bin_size + _bin_size / 2
poc_price
```
- The function `f_poc` calculates the Point of Control (POC) for a given period.
- It takes two parameters: `_hl2` (the average of the high and low prices) and `_vol` (volume).
- A volume profile array (`vol_profile`) is initialized to store volume data across different price bins.
- The price range between the high and low is divided into 100 bins (`_bin_size`).
- The function iterates over each bin, accumulating the volumes for prices within each bin.
- The bin with the maximum volume is identified as the POC (`poc_price`).
3. **Variables to Store Weekly Data:**
```pinescript
var float poc = na
var float prev_poc = na
var line poc_lines = na
if na(poc_lines)
poc_lines := array.new_line(0)
```
- `poc` stores the current week's POC.
- `prev_poc` stores the previous week's POC.
- `poc_lines` is an array to store lines representing nPOCs. The array is initialized if it is `na` (not initialized).
4. **Calculate Weekly POC:**
```pinescript
is_new_week = ta.change(time('W')) != 0
if (is_new_week)
prev_poc := poc
poc := f_poc(hl2, volume)
if not na(prev_poc)
line new_poc_line = line.new(x1=bar_index, y1=prev_poc, x2=bar_index + 100, y2=prev_poc, color=color.red, width=2)
label.new(x=bar_index, y=prev_poc, text="nPOC", style=label.style_label_down, color=color.red, textcolor=color.white)
array.push(poc_lines, new_poc_line)
```
- `is_new_week` checks if the current bar is the start of a new week using the `ta.change(time('W'))` function.
- If it's a new week, the previous week's POC is stored in `prev_poc`, and the current week's POC is calculated using `f_poc`.
- If `prev_poc` is not `na`, a new line (`new_poc_line`) representing the nPOC is created, extending it to the right (for 100 bars).
- A label is created at the `prev_poc` level, marking it as "nPOC".
- The new line is added to the `poc_lines` array.
5. **Remove Old Lines:**
```pinescript
if array.size(poc_lines) > 52
line.delete(array.shift(poc_lines))
```
- This section ensures that only the last 52 weeks of nPOCs are kept to avoid cluttering the chart.
- If the `poc_lines` array contains more than 52 lines, the oldest line is deleted using `array.shift`.
6. **Plot the Current Week's POC as a Reference:**
```pinescript
plot(poc, title="Current Weekly POC", color=color.blue, linewidth=2, style=plot.style_line)
```
- The current week's POC is plotted as a blue line on the chart for reference.
#### Summary
This script calculates and identifies weekly Points of Control (POCs) and marks them as nPOCs if they remain untouched by subsequent price action. These nPOCs are displayed as horizontal lines extending to the right, providing traders with potential support or resistance levels. The script also manages the number of lines plotted to maintain a clear and uncluttered chart.

█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a close price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a close price that is lower than the price it opened.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Peak and Trough Prices
• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Upper Trends
• A return line uptrend is formed when the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price.
• A double-top is formed when the current peak price is equal to the preceding peak price.
Lower Trends
• An uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price.
• A return line downtrend is formed when the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
• A double-bottom is formed when the current trough price is equal to the preceding trough price.
Range
The range is simply the difference between the current peak and current trough prices, generally expressed in terms of points or pips.
Wave Cycles
A wave cycle is here defined as a complete two-part move between a swing high and a swing low, or a swing low and a swing high. The first swing high or swing low will set the course for the sequence of wave cycles that follow; for example a chart that begins with a swing low will form its first complete wave cycle upon the formation of the first complete swing high and vice versa.
Figure 1.
Retracement and Extension Ratios
Retracement and extension ratios are calculated by dividing the current range by the preceding range and multiplying the answer by 100. Retracement ratios are those that are equal to or below 100% of the preceding range and extension ratios are those that are above 100% of the preceding range.
Fibonacci Retracement and Extension Ratios
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers, starting with 0 and 1. For example 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, and so on. Ultimately, we could go on forever but the first few numbers in the sequence are as follows: 0 , 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.
The extension ratios are calculated by dividing each number in the sequence by the number preceding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 2/1 = 2, 3/2 = 1.5, 5/3 = 1.6666..., 8/5 = 1.6, 13/8 = 1.625, 21/13 = 1.6153..., 34/21 = 1.6190..., 55/34 = 1.6176..., 89/55 = 1.6181..., 144/89 = 1.6179..., and so on. The retracement ratios are calculated by inverting this process and dividing each number in the sequence by the number proceeding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 1/2 = 0.5, 2/3 = 0.666..., 3/5 = 0.6, 5/8 = 0.625, 8/13 = 0.6153..., 13/21 = 0.6190..., 21/34 = 0.6176..., 34/55 = 0.6181..., 55/89 = 0.6179..., 89/144 = 0.6180..., and so on.
Fibonacci ranges are typically drawn from left to right, with retracement levels representing ratios inside of the current range and extension levels representing ratios extended outside of the current range. If the current wave cycle ends on a swing low, the Fibonacci range is drawn from peak to trough. If the current wave cycle ends on a swing high the Fibonacci range is drawn from trough to peak.
Measurement Tolerances
Tolerance refers to the allowable variation or deviation from a specific value or dimension. It is the range within which a particular measurement is considered to be acceptable or accurate. I have applied this concept in my pattern detection logic and have set default tolerances where applicable, as perfect patterns are, needless to say, very rare.
Chart Patterns
Generally speaking price charts are nothing more than a series of swing highs and swing lows. When demand outweighs supply over a period of time prices swing higher and when supply outweighs demand over a period of time prices swing lower. These swing highs and swing lows can form patterns that offer insight into the prevailing supply and demand dynamics at play at the relevant moment in time.
‘Let us assume… that you the reader, are not a member of that mysterious inner circle known to the boardrooms as “the insiders”… But it is fairly certain that there are not nearly so many “insiders” as amateur trader supposes and… It is even more certain that insiders can be wrong… Any success they have, however, can be accomplished only by buying and selling… hey can do neither without altering the delicate poise of supply and demand that governs prices. Whatever they do is sooner or later reflected on the charts where you… can detect it. Or detect, at least, the way in which the supply-demand equation is being affected… So, you do not need to be an insider to ride with them frequently… prices move in trends. Some of those trends are straight, some are curved; some are brief and some are long and continued… produced in a series of action and reaction waves of great uniformity. Sooner or later, these trends change direction; they may reverse (as from up to down), or they may be interrupted by some sort of sideways movement and then, after a time, proceed again in their former direction… when a price trend is in the process of reversal… a characteristic area or pattern takes shape on the chart, which becomes recognisable as a reversal formation… Needless to say, the first and most important task of the technical chart analyst is to learn to know the important reversal formations and to judge what they may signify in terms of trading opportunities’ (Edwards & Magee, 1948).
This is as true today as it was when Edwards and Magee were writing in the first half of the last Century, study your patterns and make judgements for yourself about what their implications truly are on the markets and timeframes you are interested in trading.
Over the years, traders have come to discover a multitude of chart and candlestick patterns that are supposed to pertain information on future price movements. However, it is never so clear cut in practice and patterns that where once considered to be reversal patterns are now considered to be continuation patterns and vice versa. Bullish patterns can have bearish implications and bearish patterns can have bullish implications. As such, I would highly encourage you to do your own backtesting.
There is no denying that chart patterns exist, but their implications will vary from market to market and timeframe to timeframe. So it is down to you as an individual to study them and make decisions about how they may be used in a strategic sense.
Harmonic Patterns
The concept of harmonic patterns in trading was first introduced by H.M. Gartley in his book "Profits in the Stock Market", published in 1935. Gartley observed that markets have a tendency to move in repetitive patterns, and he identified several specific patterns that he believed could be used to predict future price movements. The bullish and bearish Gartley patterns are the oldest recognized harmonic patterns in trading and all the other harmonic patterns are modifications of the original Gartley patterns. Gartley patterns are fundamentally composed of 5 points, or 4 waves.
Since then, many other traders and analysts have built upon Gartley's work and developed their own variations of harmonic patterns. One such contributor is Larry Pesavento, who developed his own methods for measuring harmonic patterns using Fibonacci ratios. Pesavento has written several books on the subject of harmonic patterns and Fibonacci ratios in trading. Another notable contributor to harmonic patterns is Scott Carney, who developed his own approach to harmonic trading in the late 1990s and also popularised the use of Fibonacci ratios to measure harmonic patterns. Carney expanded on Gartley's work and also introduced several new harmonic patterns, such as the Shark pattern and the 5-0 pattern.
█ INPUTS
• Change pattern and label colours
• Show or hide patterns individually
• Adjust pattern tolerances
• Set or remove alerts for individual patterns
█ NOTES
You can test the patterns with your own strategies manually by applying the indicator to your chart while in bar replay mode and playing through the history. You could also automate this process with PineScript by using the conditions from my swing and pattern libraries as entry conditions in the strategy tester or your own custom made strategy screener.
█ LIMITATIONS
All green and red candle calculations are based on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. This may cause some unexpected behaviour on some markets and timeframes. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with.

Gap Trend Lines by @eyemaginativeSummary:
The "Gap Trend Lines" script is designed to identify and visualize gaps between the close of one candle and the opening of the next on a TradingView chart. It draws extended trend lines to visually connect these gaps, helping traders to identify significant price movements between consecutive candles.
Functionality:
Indicator Setup:
The script is set as an overlay indicator on the main chart.
It includes settings for maximum line and label counts, ensuring efficient performance.
Parameter Customization:
Gap Threshold: Defines the minimum gap size considered significant.
Line Colors: Allows customization of colors for small and large gaps.
Line Thickness and Style: Provides options to adjust the thickness and style (solid, dotted, dashed) of the trend lines.
Drawing Extended Trend Lines:
For each bar (candlestick) on the chart, the script checks if there is a gap between the previous candle's close and the current candle's open.
If a gap is detected (i.e., close != open), it determines the size of the gap.
Depending on the size relative to the defined threshold, it selects the appropriate color (small or large gap).
It then draws an extended trend line that starts from the close of the previous candle (bar_index , close ) and extends to the open of the current candle (bar_index, open).
The trend line is drawn with the specified thickness, color, and style.
Dynamic Line Attribute Changes:
The script includes a function (changeLineAttributes()) that periodically changes the color and style of the trend lines.
By default, it changes the color every 4 hours (adjustable), alternating between green and the original color.
Enhanced Functionality:
Handles both small and large gaps with different visual cues (colors).
Supports extended trend lines that span both past and future directions (extend=extend.both), ensuring visibility across the entire chart.
Usage:
Traders can use the "Gap Trend Lines" script to:
Identify and analyze gaps between candlesticks.
Visualize significant price movements or breaks in continuity.
Customize the appearance of trend lines for better clarity and analysis.
By utilizing this script, traders can gain insights into price gap dynamics directly on TradingView charts, aiding in decision-making and strategy development.
TASC 2024.07 Gaps and Extreme Closes█ OVERVIEW
This script, inspired by Perry Kaufman's article "Trading Opening Gaps and Extreme Closes in Stocks" from the TASC's July 2024 edition of Traders' Tips , provides analytical insights into stock price behaviors following significant price moves. The information about the frequency, pullbacks, and closing patterns of these extreme price movements can aid in developing more effective trading strategies by understanding what to expect during volatile market conditions.
█ CONCEPTS
Perry Kaufman's article investigates the behavior of stock prices following substantial opening gaps and extreme closing moves to identify patterns and expectations that traders can utilize to make informed decisions. The motivation behind the article is to offer traders a more scientific approach to understanding price movements during volatile market conditions, particularly during earnings season or significant economic events. Kaufman's analysis reveals that stock prices have a history of exhibiting certain behaviors after substantial price gaps and extreme closes. This script follows Perry Kaufman's study and helps provide insight into how prices often behave after significant price changes. This analysis can help traders establish price movement expectations and potential strategies for trading such occurrences.
█ CALCULATIONS
Input Parameters:
This script offers users the choice to analyze "Opening Gaps" or "Extreme Closes" for price movements of different predefined magnitudes in a specified direction ("Upward" or "Downward").
Outputs:
Based on the specified inputs, the script performs the following calculations for the active ticker displayed on the chart:
Frequency of Extreme Price Movements : Quantifies the occurrences of directional price movements within predefined percentage ranges.
Average Pullbacks : Computes the average retracement (pullback) from analyzed price movements within each percentage range.
Average Closes : Analyzes the typical closing behavior relative to the directional price movements within each range.
The script organizes the results from these calculations within the table on a separate chart pane, providing users with helpful insights into how a stock historically behaved following significant price movements.

🔹 Overlay Feature: Plots directly on the price chart for seamless integration and analysis.
🌟 Quick Guide to Using the Volumetric Fair Value Gaps Indicator:
🛠 Add the Indicator: Add the indicator to favourites and set it up with your desired settings.
📊 Market Analysis: Watch for the appearance of colored boxes (blue for bearish, gray for bullish) which represent the fair value gaps. These are high-probability areas for reversals or continuations. FVGs with higher volume are implied to induce a stronger reaction on price.
🔔 Alerts: Set up alerts to notify you when new gaps are detected, ensuring you never miss out on potential trades!
🛠 How It Works:
The Volumetric Fair Value Gaps (VFVG) indicator identifies significant price gaps that are not just based on price action but are also substantiated by volume, which are often overlooked in typical analyses. It operates by comparing the current candle’s price range against historical averages and is calculated over a user-defined period, displayed with volume for further insights. For a gap to be recognized as significant (either bullish or bearish), it must exceed a certain size relative to these averages, which can be adjusted for sensitivity using the provided settings. Bullish gaps are identified when the current low is higher than the second previous high after surpassing the threshold, and bearish gaps are marked when the current high is below the second previous low, similarly surpassing the threshold. This dual-confirmation (volume and price deviation) approach minimizes false signals and enhances the reliability of identified gaps.
Maximize your trading strategy with the VFVG Indicator by AlgoAlpha and turn those gaps into opportunities! 🌈✨
TTrades Daily Bias [TFO]Inspired by @TTrades_edu video on daily bias, this indicator aims to develop a higher timeframe bias and collect data on its success rate. While a handful of concepts were introduced in said video, this indicator focuses on one specific method that utilizes previous highs and lows. The following description will outline how the indicator works using the daily timeframe as an example, but the weekly timeframe is also an included option that functions in the exact same manner.
On the daily timeframe, there are a handful of possible scenarios that we consider: if price closes above its previous day high (PDH), the following day's bias will target PDH; if price trades above its PDH but closes back below it, the following day's bias will target its previous day low (PDL).
Similarly, if price closes below its PDL, the following day's bias will target PDL. If price trades below its PDL but closes back above it, the following day's bias will target PDH.
If price trades as an inside bar that doesn't take either PDH or PDL, it will refer to the previous candle for bias. If the previous day closed above its open, it will target PDH and vice versa. If price trades as an outside bar that takes both PDH and PDL, but closes inside that range, no bias is assigned.
With a rigid framework in place, we can apply it to the charts and observe the results.
As shown above, each new day starts by drawing out the PDH and PDL levels. They start out as blue and turn red once traded through (these are the default colors which can be changed in the indicator's settings). The triangles you see are plotted to indicate the time at which PDH or PDL was traded through. This color scheme is also applied to the table in the top right; once a bias is determined, that cell's color starts out as blue and turns red once the level is traded through.
The table indicates the success rate of price hitting the levels provided by each period's bias, followed by the success rate of price closing through said levels after reaching them, as well as the sample size of data collected for each scenario.
In the above crude oil futures (CL1!) 30m chart, we can glean a lot of information from the table in the top right. First we may note that the "PDH" cell is red, which indicates that the current day's bias was targeting PDH and it has already traded through that level. We might also note that the "PWH" cell is blue, which indicates that the weekly bias is targeting the previous week high (PWH) but price has yet to reach that level.
As an example of how to read the table's data, we can look at the "PDH" row of the crude oil chart above. The sample size here indicates that there were 279 instances where the daily bias was assigned as PDH. From this sample size, 76.7% of instances did go on to trade through PDH, and only 53.7% of those instances actually went on to close through PDH after hitting that level.
Of course, greater sample sizes and therefore greater statistical significance may be derived from higher timeframe charts that may go further back in time. The amount of data you can observe may also depend on your TradingView plan.
If we don't want to see the labels describing why bias is assigned a certain way, we can simply turn off the "Show Bias Reasoning" option. Additionally, if we want to see a visual of what the daily and weekly bias currently is, we can plot that along the top and bottom of the chart, as shown above. Here I have daily bias plotted at the top and weekly bias at the bottom, where the default colors of green and red indicate that the bias logic is expecting price to draw towards the given timeframe's previous high or low, respectively.
For a compact table view that doesn't take up much chart space, simply deselect the "Show Statistics" option. This will only show the color-coded bias column for a quick view of what levels are being anticipated (more user-friendly for mobile and other smaller screens).
Alerts can be configured to indicate the bias for a new period, and/or when price hits its previous highs and lows. Simply enable the alerts you want from the indicator's settings and create a new alert with this indicator as the condition. There will be options to use "Any alert() function call" which will alert whatever is selected from the settings, or you can use more specific alerts for bullish/bearish bias, whether price hit PDH/PDL, etc.
Lastly, while the goal of this indicator was to evaluate the effectiveness of a very specific bias strategy, please understand that past performance does not guarantee future results.
Nightrangers IndicatorDescription
This indicator combines three EMA's, Ichimoku Cloud, RSI and MACD. By combining and modifying their use case this turns into an extremely powerful and accessible indicator for finding long and short position entries, below is a description of how to use this indicator, and what makes it different.
Primary Use case
The three EMA's would be the initial indicators you would be looking at, they are based on the 7d, 25d and 200d MA - Used on their own, they would be worthless, and this is where the Ichimoku Cloud comes into it, I have removed all other aspects of the Ichimoku Cloud and only kept the baseline, combine this with the three MA's and we have a very powerful indicator for finding Long entries, that is used uniquely in a way to which the Ichimoku Cloud is not originally meant to be used for.
An early indication of a LONG entry would be when the 7d MA crosses above the Ichimoku Baseline, through this early indicator, you are able to watch and monitor the chart, you would be waiting to see if the 25d MA then also crosses above the Ichimoku Baseline, This would be the second important indication of a long entry. The 200d MA helps here when making decisions on where to set your own personal take profits - If the Ichimoku baseline, and the MA's are below the 200d MA, you would be expecting a bounce point here, or heavy resistance so the long entry could be over a shorter period, than that if it was above the 200d MA, which is why it is included here, to help make a better informed choice.
The latter is reversed for finding short positions, and entries. This indicator is completely reliant on each other to find the best possible entry/exit by complementing each other, and by using the Ichimoku Baseline on it's own, and not as the Ichimoku Cloud is intended.
Just using these though, is not enough, which is why the RSI and MACD are also combined, once the conditions are met above, You may find that there can be false positives for entries, and this is where the RSI has multiple use cases within this script.
Firstly the backdrop colour will change based on whether the chart is in an uptrend or downtrend, This is a visual indicator provided to work simultaneaously on the chart itself to help identification of entries/exits easier to identify in conjunction with the above.
Secondly, It is used to display in the top right, The current Trend in a text format, as well as if the current chart is in one of three phases, these are Overbrought, Oversold and accumulation.
And finally it will display the current RSI Value on the last candle in a clear to see blue Label, This helps with the visual accessible side, to help you make a more informed choice depending on your own personal tolerance.
This ties into the above Indicators, by combining the information, you would not be looking to take a long, if for example, the RSI showed it was over-brought, and in a downtrend, even if the MA's had crossed above the Baseline, as this would most likely be a fakeout.
However if the Indicators above, showed a potential long, and the backdrop had flipped green, indicating an uptrend, and it was in an accumulation phase, you would consider this position. and this is where the MACD comes into play.
You would use the MACD to see whether or not the Signal line has crossed over the MACD line, and vice versa - However this script uses it to simplify and portray current market sentiment, and visually display by reducing clutter on screen, and making it more accessible.
It is designed to portray an easy to read and understand visual indicator by displaying in the top right simply as Bullish or Bearish, with markers above the candles ( "M" and "MX" ).
The M indicator is to show where the MACD Crosses above the Signal, and if aligned with all the other indicators within the script, shows a very strong confirmation for a buying opportunity, and vice versa for the "MX" indicator if aligned with the other indicators in reverse, provides a very strong confirmation for opening a short position or for selling.
Secondary Use case
By combining the indicators above, the secondary conditions you would be looking for, If you opened a LONG position, would be knowing when to sell, On top of what has been described above already regarding this, you would be looking to start taking profits, when the 7d MA crosses above or across the candles, and looking to close the position, when the 25d MA also crosses above the candles, and respectively, in reverse for closing short positions. This is shown across the charts to be extremely useful, however, combine this with the other indicators, portrayed in an easy to use and understand visual representation, you are now able to make more informed decisions, on whether to close a position or not.
How is it different and not just a mash up
I have combined these indicators to make the world of trading more accessible for everyone regardless of circumstances, by creating an easy to understand visual representation, keeping colours vibrant and easy to stand out, with clear and simple to read text indications. So whether you are a seasoned trader, or just starting out, you can make more informed choices, without the need of learning how to use multiple different indicators, and learning how to combine them all, or if you have difficulties learning, this indicator also simplifies a lot of the more technical intricacies, by still allowing you to make a more informed choice.
