Swing Trade System# Swing Trade Strategy - Complete Guide
## Overview
This is a comprehensive swing trading indicator for TradingView that identifies high-probability trend continuation setups using multi-timeframe analysis, pullback patterns, and momentum confirmation. The strategy combines technical indicators with risk management tools to help traders capture swing moves with defined risk-reward parameters.
## What It Does
The indicator identifies two types of signals:
1. **Base Signals** (small markers) - Initial setup detection with basic criteria met
2. **High Confidence (HC) Signals** (large markers) - Fully confirmed setups with all filters passed, including optional higher timeframe confirmation
Once a HC signal triggers, the indicator automatically plots:
- Dynamic stop loss levels (trailing, break-even, or static)
- Partial take profit (TP1) at 1R
- Final take profit (TP2) at your chosen risk-reward multiple
- Real-time R-multiple tracking
- Confluence dashboard showing all conditions
## How It Works
### Core Signal Logic
The strategy identifies pullback-to-trend entries using this sequence:
**For LONG signals:**
1. **Trend Filter**: Fast EMA (20) above Slow EMA (50) = uptrend confirmed
2. **Pullback**: Previous candle closed between the two EMAs (pulled back but didn't break structure)
3. **RSI Swing Zone**: RSI between 40-60 (not overbought/oversold, just resting)
4. **Reclaim**: Current candle crosses back above Fast EMA (momentum returning)
5. **Volume Spike** (optional): Current volume > 1.5x the 20-period average
6. **HTF Confirmation** (optional): Daily timeframe shows: price > 50 EMA, RSI > 50, and rising momentum
**For SHORT signals:**
The same logic applies in reverse (downtrend, pullback above fast EMA, reclaim below, etc.)
### Risk Management Features
**Stop Loss Placement:**
- Initial stop: Swing low/high over the last 10 bars
- Can upgrade to ATR trailing stop (2x ATR below/above price)
- Can move to break-even after reaching 1R profit
**Take Profit Levels:**
- TP1: 1R (optional partial exit point)
- TP2: 2R default (adjustable to your preference)
**Position Monitoring:**
- Live R-multiple display shows current profit/loss in risk units
- Dynamic stop updates visually on chart
- Color-coded confidence score (0-100%) based on confluence of factors
## Best Way to Use These Signals
### 1. **Wait for High Confidence Signals Only**
- Don't trade every base signal (small markers)
- Only take trades when you see the large "HC L" or "HC S" markers
- These have passed all your filters including higher timeframe alignment
### 2. **Ideal Entry Timing**
**On the Signal Candle:**
- Enter at market close when HC signal fires
- This ensures all conditions were met by candle close
- Your stop and targets are calculated from this close price
**On the Next Candle (more conservative):**
- Wait for the candle after the signal
- Enter if price continues in the signal direction
- Helps avoid false breakouts but may miss some moves
### 3. **Position Sizing**
Use the automatic risk calculation:
- Your risk = Entry price - Stop loss
- Position size = (Account Risk %) ÷ (Entry - Stop)
- Example: Risk $100 on account, Entry $50, Stop $48 = $100 ÷ $2 = 50 shares
### 4. **Trade Management**
**Scaling Out:**
- Exit 50% position at TP1 (1R) to lock profits
- Move stop to break-even on remaining position
- Let rest run to TP2 (2R) or trail with ATR stop
**Manual Override:**
- If price action deteriorates (breaks below both EMAs, RSI divergence), consider early exit
- The dynamic stop is a guide, not gospel—trust price action
## Breakout vs. Retest Strategy
### Understanding Breakout Types
**1. First Touch Breakout (Aggressive)**
- HC signal fires on first touch of fast EMA after pullback
- Higher win rate if volume is strong
- Best in strongly trending markets
- Risk: Could be a false breakout if momentum weak
**2. Retest Entry (Conservative)**
- Wait for price to pull back *again* after initial HC signal
- Enter when price retests the fast EMA a second time
- Look for: lower volume on retest, RSI still in swing zone, fast EMA still above slow EMA
- Lower risk but may miss some fast moves
### Which Breakouts to Take
**Take the FIRST breakout (signal candle) when:**
- ✅ Higher timeframe is strongly aligned (HTF confirmation on)
- ✅ Volume spike is present (>1.5x average)
- ✅ Confidence score ≥70%
- ✅ Trend is fresh (EMAs recently crossed, not extended)
- ✅ Price closed strongly above/below fast EMA (not barely crossed)
- ✅ No major resistance/support nearby
**Wait for a RETEST when:**
- ⚠️ No volume confirmation on first signal
- ⚠️ Confidence score 40-69% (moderate)
- ⚠️ Price barely crossed the fast EMA (weak momentum)
- ⚠️ Trend is extended (price far from slow EMA)
- ⚠️ Major resistance/support level just ahead
- ⚠️ Late in the trading day/week (could see pullback)
### How to Trade Retests
**Setup:**
1. HC signal fires but you decide to wait
2. Price pulls back toward fast EMA over next 1-3 candles
3. Watch for second bounce at the fast EMA
**Confirmation for Retest Entry:**
- Price holds above fast EMA (for longs) without closing below it
- Volume decreases on the pullback (profit-taking, not reversal)
- RSI stays above 50 for longs (or below 50 for shorts)
- Bullish candlestick pattern forms (hammer, engulfing, etc.)
- Slow EMA is still providing support/resistance
**Retest Entry Trigger:**
- Enter when price crosses back in signal direction with momentum
- Or enter with a limit order at the fast EMA
- Use same stop loss as original signal (swing low/high)
- Targets remain the same (measured from your new entry)
## Dashboard Reference
The top confluence table shows real-time status:
- **Trend**: Current trend direction based on EMAs
- **HTF**: Higher timeframe alignment (if enabled)
- **RSI Zone**: Whether RSI is in the 40-60 swing zone
- **Volume**: Volume spike present or not
- **Signal**: Current signal status (HC LONG/SHORT or None)
- **R Risk**: Current profit/loss in R-multiples
- **Stop**: Current stop loss price
- **TP1/TP2**: Status of take profit levels
- **Conf %**: Overall confidence score (70%+ = high probability)
## Alert Setup
The indicator includes 8 alert types:
1. **HC LONG/SHORT ENTRY** - Main trade signals
2. **LONG/SHORT TP1 Reached** - Partial profit alerts
3. **LONG/SHORT Final TP Reached** - Full target hit
4. **LONG/SHORT Stop Hit** - Exit alerts
Set up alerts in TradingView:
- Click "Create Alert" on the indicator
- Choose the specific alert condition
- Set to "Once Per Bar Close" to avoid false alerts
- Configure notification method (app, email, webhook, etc.)
## Recommended Settings
**For Stock Swing Trading (4H-Daily):**
- Fast EMA: 20 | Slow EMA: 50
- Swing Lookback: 10
- RSI Zone: 40-60
- HTF: Daily (if trading 4H charts)
- Risk-Reward: 2R minimum
**For Crypto (faster moves):**
- Fast EMA: 12 | Slow EMA: 26
- Swing Lookback: 7
- RSI Zone: 35-65
- Volume Spike: ON
- Risk-Reward: 1.5-2R
**For Conservative Trading:**
- Enable HTF Confirmation
- Enable Volume Spike requirement
- Use Break-even stop (move after 1R)
- Only trade when Confidence ≥70%
- Wait for retests on marginal setups
## Risk Warning
This indicator is a tool, not a guarantee. Always:
- Use proper position sizing (risk 1-2% per trade)
- Respect the stop losses
- Consider market context (news, earnings, major levels)
- Backtest on your instruments before live trading
- Never override risk management for FOMO
The best signals combine technical confluence with good market conditions and disciplined execution.

ZLT - Date and Time MarkerPine Script v5 indicator called “DateTime Marker” that overlays on the chart and marks bars whose timestamp matches a user-defined schedule. When a bar “matches,” it can draw:
a vertical line through the bar,
a label with a time/date string, and
a triangle marker below the bar (always plotted on matches).
What you can configure
Marker Type (the matching rule)
You choose one of five modes:
Every Minute
Inputs: everyNMinutes (default 15), minuteOffset (default 0)
Match condition: minute % everyNMinutes == minuteOffset
Example with defaults: marks bars at :00, :15, :30, :45 each hour.
Hourly
Inputs: everyNHours (default 4), hourlyMinute (default 0)
Match condition: hour % everyNHours == 0 AND minute == hourlyMinute
Example with defaults: marks bars at 00:00, 04:00, 08:00, 12:00, 16:00, 20:00 (at minute 00).
Daily Time
Inputs: dailyHour (default 10), dailyMinute (default 0)
Match condition: hour == dailyHour AND minute == dailyMinute
Example with defaults: marks 10:00 every day.
Weekly Day & Time
Inputs: weekDay (default Tuesday), weeklyHour (default 16), weeklyMinute (default 0)
It converts the weekday name to Pine’s dayofweek number via getDayNumber().
Match condition: dayofweek == targetDay AND hour == weeklyHour AND minute == weeklyMinute
Example with defaults: marks Tuesday 16:00.
Monthly Date & Time
Inputs: monthlyDay (default 2), monthlyHour (default 23), monthlyMinute (default 0)
Match condition: dayofmonth == monthlyDay AND hour == monthlyHour AND minute == monthlyMinute
Example with defaults: marks the 2nd day of each month at 23:00.
Visual settings
showLine: whether to draw the vertical line.
lineStyle: Solid/Dashed/Dotted (mapped to Pine line styles by getLineStyle()).
lineColor, lineWidth: styling for the line (width is rounded to an integer because Pine line width is integer).
showLabel: whether to draw a label.
labelColor: background color of the label (text is forced white).
What happens when a bar matches
When isMatch becomes true on a bar:
Vertical line: line.new() at that bar’s bar_index, from low to high, extended extend.both (so it spans the full chart vertically).
Label: label.new() at the bar’s high, with mode-specific text:
Minute/Hourly/Daily: "HH:mm"
Weekly: "Tuesday HH:mm" (or whatever day selected)
Monthly: "Day 2 - HH:mm" (or chosen day)
Triangle marker: plotshape() draws a triangle up below the bar on every match (this happens regardless of showLine / showLabel).
Important practical implications
This uses the bar’s exchange/chart time (TradingView’s time, hour, minute, etc.), so results depend on the symbol/session and chart timezone settings.
On timeframes coarser than 1 minute, “Every Minute” still checks only the bar’s timestamp minute value; it won’t mark intra-bar minutes that don’t exist as separate bars.
Because it can create many objects (lines/labels), it sets max_labels_count=500. Lines are not capped here, so very dense marking can still clutter the chart.
If you tell me your intended use (e.g., “mark NY open,” “mark every 15m candle close,” “mark macro events weekly”), I can point out whether the current matching logic fits that precisely or needs adjustments (sessions, timezones, avoiding duplicates, limiting lines, etc.).
Candle 2 Closure [LuxAlgo]The Candle 2 Closure tool detects a specific reversal pattern on the chart spanning four bars. The first bar trades into a key price level. The second bar trades outside the first bar's range, but closes inside, indicating a reversal. The third bar closes outside the second bar's range, in the direction of the reversal, creating a price expansion. The fourth bar is a continuation of prices in that same direction.
This tool features key levels, equilibrium zones, and real-time alarms upon confirmation of the second and third candles of the pattern.
This specific part of the more complete Fractal model by TTrades was requested by a lot of you. We are happy to bring it to you and wish you a merry Christmas!
🔶 USAGE
This pattern is a TTrades concept: a reversal setup that is very easy to understand. It occurs when the current bar trades outside of the previous bar's range, but closes inside it. In other words, traders try to push prices outside of the previous bar's range, but fail. This is considered a reversal, meaning that traders encountered opposing forces that overwhelmed them. Thus, the expectation is that prices will trade in the new direction, changing the market bias from bullish to bearish, or vice versa.
Let's look at the example in the chart, where the four candles of this setup are marked. Note that we have selected a perfect setup, where all conditions are met.
Candle 1: This bar traded into a key price area at the top of the range, spanning several months.
Candle 2: This bar traded outside the range of Candle 1, but failed to close outside. This is the reversal.
Candle 3: The wick of this bar formed at or below the equilibrium zone of Candle 2, and it closed outside the range of Candle 2. This is the expansion.
Candle 4: At this point, the setup is complete, and the expectation for this candle is that it will trade in the same direction. The top of the candle is at or below the equilibrium zone of Candle 3. This is the continuation.
In a strong setup, the top or bottom of the next bar will form inside the equilibrium zone defined by the highlighted areas on candles 2 and 3.
This is a perfect bearish setup, featuring all elements. Not all setups will be like this, but when this setup occurs, it is important for traders to be aware of it.
The tool is highly customizable from the settings panel and features real-time alerts at candle 2 and 3 confirmations.
Now, let's take a broader view of the same chart. We have disabled the display of candle 2 and filtered the setups with a length of 50.
As we can see, most of the last 17 setups found on the EUR/USD daily chart lead to multi-day or multi-month price movements.
🔹 Filtering Reversals
The tool features a reversals filter that is disabled by default. This filter allows us to filter out minor reversals and display only those that are important.
Traders can adjust the length parameter to display reversals only at the top or bottom of the last N specified bars. We can see some examples in the chart.
🔹 Wick Threshold
From the settings panel, traders can fine-tune the equilibrium zone for candle 2.
If the wick exceeds the threshold expressed as a percentage of the total bar range, the equilibrium zone will be calculated based only on the wick. In all other cases, the full bar range will be used.
🔶 SETTINGS
Candle 2 (Reversal): Enable or disable Candle 2 reversals.
Candle 3 (Expansion): Enable or disable Candle 3 expansions.
Reversals Filter: Filter reversals as the highest or lowest of the last N bars.
Wick Threshold %: Filter wicks as percentage of total bar range.
🔹 Style
Bullish Color: Select bullish color.
Bearish Color: Select bearish color.
Transparency: Select the transparency level. 0 is solid and 100 is fully transparent.
Levels: Enable or disable the horizontal levels.
Candle 2 Zone: Enable or disable the Candle 2 equilibrium zones.
Candle 3 Zone: Enable or disable the Candle 3 equilibrium zones.
🔹 Alerts
Candle 2 Alerts: Enable or disable Candle 2 alerts.
Candle 3 Alerts: Enable or disable Candle 3 alerts.
RSI Ladder TP Strategy v1.0 Overview
This strategy is an RSI-based reversal entry system with a ladder-style take-profit mechanism.
It supports Long-only, Short-only, or Both directions and provides optional Average Entry Price, Stop Loss, and Take Profit reference lines on the chart.
Entry Rules
Long Entry: RSI crosses above the Oversold level (default: 20).
Short Entry: RSI crosses below the Overbought level (default: 80).
Optional: If enabled, the script will close the current position when an opposite signal appears before opening a new one.
Exit Rules (Ladder Take Profit)
Take profit is placed as a ladder using tpLevels and tpStepPct.
Example (default tpStepPct = 1%, tpLevels = 10):
TP1 at +1%, TP2 at +2%, … TP10 at +10% (relative to current average entry price).
Each TP level closes tpClosePct of the remaining position, meaning it scales out geometrically:
If tpClosePct = 50% → remaining position becomes 50%, then 25%, then 12.5%, etc.
Stop Loss
Optional stop loss is placed at slPct (%) away from the average entry price:
Long: avg * (1 - slPct%)
Short: avg * (1 + slPct%)
Visual Lines
Average Entry Price Line: current strategy.position_avg_price
Stop Loss Line: based on slPct
Next TP Line: shows the estimated next TP level based on current profit%
All TP Lines: optional (can clutter the chart)
==============================================================
Recommended Use
This strategy is best used on markets with strong mean-reversion behavior.
For exchanges/bots that do not support hedge mode in a single strategy, run two separate instances:
One set to Long Only
One set to Short Only
Swing HelperThis script, titled "Swing helper", is a multi-metric dashboard designed to provide a comprehensive snapshot of a security's volatility, relative volume, and price action health directly on the chart. It focuses on Average Daily Range (ADR) relationship and key performance indicators to help traders identify setups like volatility contractions or trend strength.
Key Features
Dual-ADR Analysis: Calculates and compares Long-Term (LT) and Short-Term (ST) ADR percentages. The ADR Ratio helps identify when volatility is expanding or contracting relative to historical norms.
Relative Volume (RVol): Compares current volume to a 20-day moving average, highlighting institutional participation.
Dynamic Closing Range: Visualizes where the price is closing relative to the day's true range (the "Closing Range %"), indicating buying or selling pressure.
SMA 50 Distance: A unique metric that measures the price's distance from the 50-day Simple Moving Average in "ADR units," helping to gauge how overextended a stock is.
Automated Price Projections: Dynamically plots -1x and -2x ADR levels from the current price to provide immediate downside targets or support levels.
Custom Bar Coloring: Highlights specific price action patterns:
Inside Days (Blue)
Upside Reversals (Green)
Downside Reversals (Red)
Visual Customization
The script includes a highly flexible Summary Table with customizable positions, sizes, and colors (including borders and headers), allowing it to fit into any dark or light mode chart layout without obstructing price action.
How to Use
Volatility Contraction: Watch for the ADR Ratio to drop, indicating a tightening range before a potential breakout.
Relative Strength: Look for high RVol combined with a high Closing Range % (e.g., >75%) to confirm strong demand.
Mean Reversion: Use the SMA50 Dist metric to identify when a stock is "stretched" too far from its moving average relative to its daily volatility.
Early Trend Warning Using MTF AnalysisAs an active trader and software professional, I build my own indicators. I built this one today which I want to share with fellow traders.
If you are a trend trader then HTF/MTF analysis is very critical. It is virtually impossible to constantly track multiple tickers all the time. One should not take a buy trade when MTF is bearish and vice versa. This indicator solves this problem.
The EMA Trend Warning indicator helps traders detect potential trend changes early by analyzing price interactions with multi-timeframe Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and their momentum. It sends instant alerts when price crosses above or below EMAs with supporting momentum, making it easier to capture bullish or bearish moves.
The EMA Trend Warning indicator detects potential trend changes by monitoring price against 14-period EMAs on multiple timeframes: 15-minute, 30-minute, and 1-hour charts. It sends alerts when the price crosses above or below the EMA with supporting momentum, helping traders identify early bullish or bearish signals.
How It Works:
1. Calculates 14-period EMA on 15m, 30m, and 1H charts.
2. Computes EMA slopes to determine momentum direction.
3. BUY alert triggers when price crosses above the 15m EMA and at least one EMA slope is upward.
4. SELL alert triggers when price crosses below the 15m EMA and at least one EMA slope is downward.
5. Alerts fire once per bar and track previous state to avoid repeated notifications.
Features:
1. Multi-timeframe EMA monitoring.
2. Momentum confirmation with EMA slopes.
3. Instant BUY/SELL alerts.
4. Tracks previous trend state to prevent alert spam.
Benefits:
1. Detects trend changes early for better entry timing.
2. Confirms trend across multiple timeframes.
3. Saves time with automated alerts.
4. Helps traders align trades with market momentum.
Please consider this indicator as EARLY WARNING ONLY. Take trade based on multiple confluences post receiving any warning. I have tested it on BTCUSD since yesterday, multiple warning alerts were 100% perfect.
Golden Zone Structure [Kodexius]Golden Zone Structure is a ZigZag based market structure and Fibonacci tool designed to make swing context easier to read directly on the price chart. It detects meaningful pivot highs and lows, labels the evolving structure (HH, HL, LH, LL, including equal highs and lows), and automatically projects a Fibonacci map across the most recent completed swing.
Instead of forcing you to manually anchor Fib tools after every new leg, the script rebuilds levels each time a fresh pivot is confirmed. This makes it well suited for traders who focus on swing continuation, pullback depth, and reaction zones where liquidity and orderflow often concentrate.
A key emphasis is the Golden Zone highlight. The indicator shades the zone that is most relevant to the current swing context so you can quickly spot where a retracement is approaching a higher probability reaction area, without cluttering the chart with too many permanent objects.
The tool is intentionally visual and configurable. You can choose pivot source (High/Low or Close), adjust swing sensitivity via ZigZag period, switch color themes, and decide how much detail you want on screen (levels, zigzag lines, labels).
Optional trading markers can be enabled for users who want a lightweight “zone interaction” prompt. These markers are not intended as a standalone trading system. They are meant to complement your own confirmation rules (structure alignment, volume, higher timeframe bias, or price action triggers).
🔹Features
🔸 ZigZag Swing Engine
- Uses a configurable ZigZag period to filter noise and confirm swing points only when the lookback logic validates the move.
Supports different pivot sources (High/Low or Close) so you can choose between cleaner structure or more reactive behavior depending on the instrument.
Optional ZigZag leg drawing to visualize swing flow without clutter.
🔸 Market Structure Labels (HH, HL, LH, LL + Equals)
- Automatically labels each confirmed pivot based on how it compares to the prior pivot of the same type.
High side classification: H, HH, LH, EH.
Low side classification: L, HL, LL, EL.
Equal highs and lows help reveal potential liquidity pools and “magnet” areas where price often reacts or breaks with intent.
🔸 Auto Fibonacci Map on the Active Swing
- Rebuilds Fibonacci levels every time a new pivot is confirmed, keeping the projection aligned with the most recent completed leg.
Core retracement levels: 0.236, 0.382, 0.500, 0.618, 0.786.
Extension levels: 1.272 and 1.618 for expansion targeting and continuation mapping.
Optional price labels on each level, formatted to tick size so levels remain readable across markets.
🔸 Golden Zone Highlighting (Context Aware)
- Highlights the most relevant retracement band with a soft fill so you can spot “zone approach” moments at a glance.
The zone selection adapts to swing context, focusing on a different retracement region depending on whether the last confirmed pivot is a peak or a trough.
Adjustable transparency keeps the chart clean while preserving the key reaction area.
🔸 Visual Customization + Themes
- Multiple color themes (Neon, Ocean, Sunset, Monochrome) so the tool fits different chart styles and backgrounds.
Independent toggles for Fib levels, Golden Zone shading, ZigZag lines, and price labels.
Line width controls for better scaling across timeframes.
🔸 Optional Trading Markers + Alerts
- Optional BUY and SELL labels based on zone interaction logic with candle confirmation filters.
ATR based placement offset scaled by sensitivity so labels stay visually separated during volatility.
Built in alert conditions for new pivot highs and new pivot lows so you can monitor structure changes without watching every bar.
▶ Practical Usage Tip
• Use structure labels to define bias (HH + HL for bullish structure, LH + LL for bearish structure).
• Use the Golden Zone as a location filter, then wait for your own trigger (break of minor structure, rejection candle, volume shift, etc.).
• Treat extensions as “map points” not guaranteed targets. They work best when structure supports continuation.
ORB Breakout & RetestORB Breakout & Breakdown Indicator - Complete Opening Range Strategy
Description :
The ORB (Opening Range Breakout) Breakout & Retest Indicator is a simple tool designed to identify opening range breakouts and breakdowns with retest confirmation. This indicator works on ANY timeframe while automatically analyzing 1-minute price action to detect precise entry signals.
What makes this indicator unique:
- ✅ Multi-Timeframe ORB Analysis - Simultaneously tracks 5-min, 15-min, and 30-min opening ranges
- ✅ Smart Retest Logic - Filters false breakouts by requiring price to retest and confirm the level
- ✅ Works on Any Chart Timeframe - View on 5-min, 15-min, 1-hour, or daily charts while getting 1-minute precision
- ✅ Both Long & Short Signals - Detects bullish breakouts AND bearish breakdowns
- ✅ Customizable Alerts - Get notified when confirmed setups occur
- ✅ Clean Visual Display - Compact table showing all ORB levels and signal status
How it Works:
Opening Range Detection :
- 5-Min ORB: Captures high/low from 9:30-9:35 AM
- 15-Min ORB: Captures high/low from 9:30-9:45 AM
- 30-Min ORB: Captures high/low from 9:30-10:00 AM
Breakout Confirmation (3-Step Process) :
1. Initial Break - Price closes above ORB High (or below ORB Low for shorts)
2. Retest - Price pulls back to retest the broken level
3. Confirmation - Price breaks through again, confirming the trend
This retest requirement dramatically reduces false signals and helps you enter trades with better risk/reward.

## 💡 Pro Trading Tips
### **Maximize Win Rate:**
1. **Wait for confluence** - Best trades have 3+ indicators aligned
2. **Respect the dashboard** - Check WHY it's signaling (which indicators)
3. **Volume is king** - Signals with volume spikes are significantly more reliable

6. **Watch for divergences** - Diamond markers = hidden reversal opportunities
### **Common Mistakes to Avoid:**
❌ Trading every signal (be selective)
❌ Ignoring volume (volume confirms everything)
❌ Fighting the higher timeframe trend
❌ Oversizing positions on moderate signals
❌ Holding weekly options too long (theta decay)
❌ Trading during lunch hour (11:30-1:30 EST)
### **Advanced Techniques:**
- **Divergence + Support/Resistance** = Highest probability reversals
- **BB Squeeze + EMA alignment** = Explosive trend continuations
- **SuperTrend flip + Volume spike** = Major trend change entries
- **Multiple timeframe analysis** - Check 5m signal on 1m chart for precision entries

Gann ArchitectThe Gann Architect is a quantitative geometric engine designed to solve the primary limitation of standard Gann tools: Scaling.
Standard Gann Fans use fixed angles (e.g., 45 degrees for 1:1), which often fail when applied to volatile assets or different timeframes because they do not account for the specific price-to-time ratio of the asset. This indicator solves this by calculating a Dynamic Slope. It identifies the initial "Impulse Phase" (Anchor Low → First Major High) and mathematically "squares" the chart to fit that specific market structure.
Key Features
Dynamic Squaring: Automatically calculates the true 1:1 Master Line based on the asset's actual volatility, not an arbitrary angle.
Quantitative Alerts: Includes a built-in alert system. You can set alerts for "Crossed 1:1" (Trend Break), "Structural Fail 1:2" (Support Break), or "Impulse Breakout 2:1".
Real-Time Data Panel: A dashboard displays the exact price targets for the geometric levels, removing the need to eyeball the lines.
Efficiency: Uses a circular buffer memory system to ensure high performance ("100% potential") without slowing down your chart.
How to Use
This tool is designed as a Trend Following & Structure Map, not a reversal signal.
The 1:1 Line (Solid): This represents the "True Trend." In a strong bullish phase, price should respect this line as dynamic support. A confirmed close below this line often signals momentum loss.
The 1:2 Line (Bottom Support): This acts as the "Structural Floor." If price loses the 1:1 but holds the 1:2, it is considered a healthy correction. A break below the 1:2 typically invalidates the geometric structure of the current cycle.
The 2:1 Line (Top Resistance): This marks the "Impulse Zone." A break above this line suggests parabolic or over-extended behaviour.
Settings
Cycle Stiffness: Controls the sensitivity of the pivot detection. Increase this value (e.g., to 4 or 5) to filter out noise and focus on macro trends.
Anchor Pivot #: Allows you to select which historical cycle bottom to anchor the geometry to (1 = most recent confirmed bottom).
Slope Multiplier: Adjusts the aggressiveness of the fan. Default is 1.0 (Geometric Standard).
Technical Disclosure (Repainting & Lag)
This script utilises a Confirmed Pivot Detection system.
Signal Lag: To ensure reliability, the geometric fans anchor to confirmed pivots. A pivot is only confirmed after Right Length bars have passed. Therefore, the fans will appear on the chart with a slight delay relative to the absolute low.
Repainting: Once a pivot is confirmed and the fans are drawn, the lines for that specific cycle do not repaint history. However, if a new, lower low forms that invalidates the previous structure, the script will dynamically shift to the new anchor point to maintain geometric accuracy.
Disclaimer This script is for educational and experimental purposes only. Geometric analysis is a mapping tool, not a guarantee of future price action. Always use proper risk management. Past performance of geometric levels does not guarantee future results.
Liquidity Sweep Guardian (Universal % or point based)
Liquidity Sweep Guardian - Complete User Guide
## Overview
The **Liquidity Sweep Guardian** is a visual warning system designed to prevent premature counter-trend trades (fades) near Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL) levels. This indicator helps you avoid one of the most common trading mistakes: fading too early before liquidity sweeps complete.
---
## 🎯 Core Trading Principle
### **THE GOLDEN RULE: Don't Fade Until It's Unlocked**
Price often **accelerates into key levels** to sweep liquidity before reversing. Trading against this momentum is extremely dangerous.
**The Process:**
1. **Danger Zone** (Red/White Box) = ⚠️ **DO NOT FADE** - Sweep likely incoming
2. **Sweep Occurs** (Triangle marker appears) = Price penetrates the level
3. **Reclaim Happens** (Price returns above/below level) = Level is tested
4. **🔓 UNLOCKED** (Gold border, green label) = **NOW you may CONSIDER a fade**
> **Important:** "UNLOCKED" means you may now *consider* a fade setup. It is NOT a trade signal itself. You still need your entry confirmation, risk management, and trade plan.
---
## 📊 Visual Elements Explained
### 1. **Danger Zone Boxes (Red Border by Default)**
**Two types of zones around PDH/PDL:**
- **Outer Danger Zone** (White fill): ±75pts (or 0.30%) around the level
- Indicates proximity to a key level where sweeps commonly occur
- Yellow/cautious trading zone
- **Inner Critical Zone** (Black fill): ±25pts (or 0.10%) around the level
- Highest probability area for liquidity sweep traps
- Avoid fading here at all costs
**What to do:**
- When price enters these zones, **wait and watch**
- Do not initiate counter-trend positions
- Allow the sweep to play out
### 2. **Unlocked Zones (Gold Border #ffeb3b)**
When a zone turns **gold/yellow** with green fill:
- The level has been swept AND reclaimed
- The liquidity grab is complete
- You may now look for fade opportunities with proper confirmation
### 3. **PDH/PDL Lines**
- **PDH Line** (Red): Previous Day High with price label
- **PDL Line** (Green): Previous Day Low with price label
- These are your key reference levels for the session
### 4. **Sweep Labels**
**Triangle Markers (SWEEP):**
- **Green Triangle** = Clean sweep (10-25pts penetration)
- **Orange Triangle** = Extended sweep (25-50pts penetration)
- **Red Triangle** = Deep penetration (50+ pts) - likely continuation, not reversal
**Warning Labels:**
- **⚠️ DEEP CONTINUATION?** = Penetration too deep, probably NOT a reversal setup
**Unlock Labels:**
- **🔓 LONG UNLOCKED** = PDL swept and reclaimed, may consider long fades
- **🔓 SHORT UNLOCKED** = PDH swept and reclaimed, may consider short fades
---
## ⚙️ Settings Guide
### **Calculation Mode**
**Use Percentage Mode (Default: ON)**
- ✅ **Enabled**: Universal mode - works on NQ, ES, RTY, stocks, crypto, forex
- ❌ **Disabled**: Fixed points mode - for specific instruments only
**When to use each:**
- **Percentage Mode**: Trading multiple instruments, or instruments with varying price levels
- **Fixed Points Mode**: Single instrument focus (e.g., only trading NQ at current levels)
### **Danger Zone Settings**
**Percentage Mode (Default for Universal Use):**
- **Danger Zone**: 0.30% each side (≈75pts on NQ@25,000)
- **Critical Zone**: 0.10% each side (≈25pts on NQ@25,000)
**Fixed Points Mode (For NQ Specifically):**
- **Danger Zone**: 75 points each side
- **Critical Zone**: 25 points each side
**Adjustment Tips:**
- For more volatile instruments: Increase percentages/points
- For less volatile instruments: Decrease percentages/points
- For higher timeframes: Use wider zones
- For lower timeframes: Use tighter zones
### **Sweep Classification**
**What defines a "real" sweep:**
- **Minimum**: 10pts / 0.04% - Shallow penetration may not grab enough liquidity
- **Optimal**: 10-25pts / 0.04-0.10% - "Goldilocks zone" for reversal setups
- **Extended**: 25-50pts / 0.10-0.20% - Deeper sweep, less reliable
- **Continuation**: 50+pts / 0.20%+ - Too deep, likely NOT reversing
**Max Bars for Reclaim**: 5 bars (default)
- Price should reclaim the level relatively quickly
- If it takes too long, the sweep may have failed
### **Visual Customization**
**Box Settings:**
- **Left Extension**: 60 bars (how far back the box extends)
- **Right Extension**: 50 bars (how far forward the box extends)
**Toggle Options:**
- Show/Hide Danger Zone Boxes

## 🎓 Trading Strategy Examples
### **Example 1: Long Setup at PDL**
1. **Morning**: Price approaches PDL (danger zone appears)
2. **Don't Fade Yet**: Price enters critical zone - resist urge to buy
3. **Sweep**: Price drops 15pts below PDL (green triangle appears)
4. **Reclaim**: Price closes back above PDL within 3 bars
5. **🔓 UNLOCKED**: Gold border + "LONG UNLOCKED" label appears
6. **Trade Setup**: Now look for bullish confirmation (order flow, structure, etc.)
### **Example 2: Avoiding a Trap at PDH**
1. **Afternoon**: Price rallies into PDH danger zone
2. **Temptation**: You want to short here (it "looks toppy")
3. **Sweep**: Price breaks 50pts above PDH (red triangle + ⚠️ warning)
4. **Continuation**: Deep penetration suggests continuation, not reversal
5. **Result**: No unlock occurs, price keeps running higher - trap avoided!
### **Example 3: Failed Unlock (No Trade)**
1. Price sweeps PDL by 12pts (green triangle)
2. Price struggles to reclaim PDL, stays below for 10+ bars
3. No "UNLOCKED" label appears
4. **Correct Action**: Do not fade - sweep failed to reclaim

## What This Indicator Does
The **Unmitigated MTF High Low v2.0** tracks unmitigated (untouch) high and low levels across multiple timeframes, helping you identify key support and resistance zones that the market hasn't revisited yet. Think of it as a sophisticated memory system for price action - it remembers where price has been, and more importantly, where it *hasn't been back to*.
### Why "Unmitigated" Matters
In futures trading, especially on instruments like NQ and ES, the market has a tendency to revisit levels where liquidity was left behind. An "unmitigated" level is one that hasn't been touched since it was formed. These levels often act as magnets for price, and understanding their age and proximity gives you a significant edge in:
- **Entry timing** - Waiting for price to approach tested levels
- **Exit planning** - Taking profits before ancient resistance/support
- **Risk management** - Avoiding entries when approaching multiple old levels
- **Liquidity mapping** - Visualizing where orders likely cluster
---
## Core Concepts
### 1. **Sessions & Age**
The indicator uses **New York trading sessions** (6:00 PM to 5:59 PM NY time) as the primary time measurement. This aligns with how futures markets naturally segment their activity.
**Age Categories:**
- 🟢 **New (0-1 sessions)** - Fresh levels, recently formed
- 🟡 **Medium (2-3 sessions)** - Tested by time, gaining significance
- 🔴 **Old (4-6 sessions)** - Highly significant, survived multiple days
- 🟣 **Ancient (7+ sessions)** - Extreme significance, major support/resistance
The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more significant it becomes. Think of it like compound interest - time adds weight to these zones.
### 2. **Multi-Timeframe Tracking**
You can set the indicator to track high/low levels from any timeframe (default is 15 minutes). This means you're watching for unmitigated 15-minute highs and lows while trading on, say, a 1-minute or 5-minute chart.
**Why this matters:**
- Higher timeframe levels have more weight
- You can see multiple timeframe structure simultaneously
- Helps you avoid fighting larger timeframe momentum
### 3. **Mitigation**
A level becomes "mitigated" (deactivated) when price touches it:
- **High levels** are mitigated when price reaches or exceeds them
- **Low levels** are mitigated when price reaches or goes below them
Once mitigated, the level disappears from view. The indicator only shows you the untouch levels that still matter.

- **Upper band** (pink/maroon) - Between unmitigated highs
- **Lower band** (blue/teal) - Between unmitigated lows
- These represent the "no man's land" or consolidation zones

## The Cave Diving Framework
This indicator is designed around the **Cave Diving Trading Framework** - a psychological and technical approach that maps cave diving safety protocols to futures trading risk management.
### 🤿 The Core Metaphor
**Cave diving has clear danger zones based on depth and overhead environment. Your trading should too.**
#### Shallow Water (New Levels, 0-1 Sessions)
- **Light**: Bright colors (bright red highs, bright green lows)
- **Psychology**: Fresh territory, recently tested
- **Trading**: Be aware but not overly concerned
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: You can see the surface, easy exit
#### Penetration Depth (Medium Levels, 2-3 Sessions)
- **Light**: Medium intensity colors
- **Psychology**: Building significance, market memory forming
- **Trading**: Start respecting these levels for entries/exits
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Deeper in, need to track your line back
#### Deep Dive Zone (Old Levels, 4-6 Sessions)
- **Light**: Dark colors (deep maroon, dark blue)
- **Psychology**: Highly tested support/resistance
- **Trading**: Major decision points, plan accordingly
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Significant overhead, careful navigation required
#### Overhead Environment (Ancient Levels, 7+ Sessions)
- **Light**: Very dark, purple/deep teal
- **Psychology**: Extreme caution required, major liquidity zones
- **Trading**: These are your "turn back" signals - don't fight ancient levels
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Maximum danger, no room for error
### 🎯 The Proximity Alert System
Just like a cave diver's depth gauge that warns at critical thresholds, the proximity alerts (⚠️) tell you when you're entering a danger zone. When price gets within your configured threshold (default 5 points), the indicator:
- Highlights the level in **yellow** on the chart
- Shows **⚠️** in the table
- Signals: "You're entering a high-significance zone - adjust your position accordingly"
This prevents the trading equivalent of going deeper into a cave without checking your air supply.

## How to Use It for Trading
### 🎯 Entry Strategies
**1. The "Bounce Setup" (Mean Reversion)**
- Wait for price to approach an old or ancient unmitigated level
- Look for confluence: multiple levels nearby, bands narrowing
- Enter when price shows rejection (reversal candle patterns)
- **Example**: Price drops to a 6-session-old low, shows bullish engulfing → Long entry
**2. The "Break and Retest" (Trend Following)**
- Wait for price to break through an unmitigated level (mitigates it)
- Enter on the retest of the newly broken level
- **Example**: Price breaks above 4-session-old high → Wait for pullback to that level → Long entry
**3. The "Tunnel Trade" (Range Trading)**
- When bands are active, trade the range between 1st-2nd levels
- Short near upper band resistance, long near lower band support
- Exit at opposite side or when bands break
### 🚨 Risk Management Rules
**The Ancient Level Rule**
> Never fight ancient levels (7+ sessions). If you're long and approaching an ancient high, take profits. If you're short and approaching an ancient low, take profits.
These levels have survived a full trading week without being touched - there's likely significant liquidity and institutional interest there.
**The Proximity Exit Rule**
> When you see ⚠️ proximity alerts on multiple levels above/below your position, tighten stops or scale out.
This is your "overhead environment" warning. You're in dangerous territory.
**The New Level Filter**
> Be cautious taking positions based solely on new levels (0-1 sessions). Wait for them to age or combine with other confluence.
Fresh levels haven't been tested by time. They're like unconfirmed support/resistance.
### 📊 Reading Market Structure
**Bullish Structure (🟢 in status row)**
- Unmitigated lows are aging and holding
- Price respecting the lower band
- Old lows below acting as strong support
- **Bias**: Look for long entries at lower levels
**Bearish Structure (🔴 in status row)**
- Unmitigated highs are aging and holding
- Price respecting the upper band
- Old highs above acting as strong resistance
- **Bias**: Look for short entries at higher levels
**The Tunnel Compression**
- When the Δ (delta) in the status row is small, levels are tight
- This often precedes a breakout
- **Trading**: Wait for breakout direction, then trade the break
### 🔄 Strat Integration
The indicator shows Strat patterns in the status row:
- **1** - Inside bar (consolidation)
- **2U** - Broke high only (bullish)
- **2D** - Broke low only (bearish)
- **3** - Broke both (wide range, volatility)
Use these with the unmitigated levels:
- **2U near old high** → Potential resistance, watch for rejection
- **2D near old low** → Potential support, watch for bounce
- **3 pattern** → High volatility, respect wider stops

## Settings & Customization
### 📅 Session & Timeframe Settings
**HL Interval** (Default: 15 minutes)
- The timeframe for high/low calculation
- **Lower (1m, 5m)**: More levels, more noise, good for scalping

- **Recommendation for NQ/ES**: 15m or 30m for day trading, 1H for swing trading
**Session Age Threshold** (Default: 2)
- How many sessions before a level is considered "old"
- Lower = more levels classified as old
- Higher = stricter definition of significance

## Best Practices
### 🎯 Position Management
**1. Scaling In Near Old Levels**
```
Price approaching 5-session-old low:
- First position: 30% size at proximity alert (⚠️)
- Second position: 40% size at exact level
- Third position: 30% size if it shows strong rejection
```
**2. Scaling Out Near Ancient Levels**
```
Holding long position, approaching 8-session-old high:
- Exit 50% at proximity alert (⚠️)
- Exit 30% at exact level
- Trail stop on remaining 20%
```
### 🧠 Trading Psychology Integration
Drawing from principles in *The Mountain Is You*, this indicator helps you:
**1. Recognize Self-Sabotage Patterns**
- **The Premature Entry**: Entering before price reaches your planned level
- **Solution**: Set alerts at unmitigated levels, wait for proximity warnings
- **The Profit-Taking Problem**: Exiting too early from fear
- **Solution**: Identify the next unmitigated level and commit to holding until proximity alert
- **The Loss Holding**: Refusing to exit losing trades
- **Solution**: When price breaks through and mitigates your entry level, it's telling you the structure changed
**2. Building Better Habits**
The color-coded age system trains your brain to:
- Respect levels that have proven themselves over time
- Distinguish between noise (new levels) and structure (old levels)
- Make decisions based on objective data, not fear or greed
**3. Emotional Regulation**
The proximity alerts serve as:
- **Circuit breakers** - Forcing you to re-evaluate before dangerous zones
- **Permission to act** - Giving you objective signals to exit without second-guessing
- **Validation** - Confirming when you're in alignment with market structure
### 📝 Pre-Market Routine
**Daily Setup Checklist:**
1. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated highs above current price
2. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated lows below current price
3. ✅ Note which are ancient (7+) - these are your "no-go" zones
4. ✅ Check the tunnel width (Δ in status row) - tight or wide?
5. ✅ Set alerts at the 1st high and 1st low for proximity warnings
6. ✅ Plan: "If we go up, I exit at ___. If we go down, I enter at ___."
### 🔄 Timeframe Confluence
**Multi-Timeframe Strategy:**
Run the indicator on **three instances**:
- **15-minute** (short-term structure)
- **1-hour** (intermediate structure)
- **4-hour** (major structure)
**Strong Setup**: When all three timeframes show unmitigated levels converging at the same price zone.
**Example:**
- 15m: Old low at 21,400
- 1H: Ancient low at 21,398
- 4H: Ancient low at 21,395
- **Result**: 21,395-21,400 is a monster support zone
### ⚠️ What This Indicator Doesn't Do
**Not a Crystal Ball**
- It doesn't predict where price will go
- It shows you where price *hasn't been* and how long it's been avoided
- The trading decisions are still yours
**Not an Entry Signal Generator**
- It provides context and structure
- You need to combine it with your entry methodology (price action, indicators, order flow, etc.)
**Not Foolproof**
- Ancient levels get broken
- Proximity alerts can trigger early in strong trends
- The market doesn't "owe" you a reversal at any level
---
## Common Scenarios
### Scenario 1: "Level Cluster Ahead"
**Situation**: You're long at 21,400. The table shows:
- 1st High: 21,425 (2 sessions old)
- 2nd High: 21,428 (3 sessions old)
- 3rd High: 21,435 (6 sessions old)
**Interpretation**: There's a resistance cluster just 25-35 points away. The 6-session-old level is particularly significant.
**Action**:
- Set first profit target at 21,420 (before the cluster)
- Set second target at 21,426 (between 1st and 2nd)
- Trail remaining position, but be ready to exit on rejection at 21,435
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You're approaching an overhead section with limited clearance. Lighten your load (reduce position) before entering.
---
### Scenario 2: "Ancient Level Approaches"
**Situation**: The market is grinding higher. You see ⚠️ appear next to a 9-session-old high at 21,500.
**Interpretation**: This level has survived over a week without being touched. Massive potential liquidity zone.
**Action**:
- If long, this is your absolute exit zone. Take profits before or at level.
- If looking to short, wait for clear rejection (price taps and reverses)
- Don't try to buy the breakout until it clearly breaks and retests
**Cave Diving Analogy**: Your dive computer is beeping - you've reached your planned turn-back depth. No matter how interesting it looks ahead, honor your plan.
---
### Scenario 3: "Mitigated Levels Create New Structure"
**Situation**: Price breaks and mitigates the 1st High. The previous 2nd High becomes the new 1st High.
**Interpretation**: The structure just shifted. What was the 2nd level is now most relevant.
**Action**:
- Watch how price reacts to the newly-mitigated level
- If it holds below (acts as resistance), bearish
- If it reclaims and holds above (acts as support), bullish
- The NEW 1st High is your next target/resistance
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You've passed through a restriction - the cave layout ahead is different now. Update your mental map.
---
### Scenario 4: "Tight Tunnel, Upcoming Breakout"
**Situation**: The Δ in the status row shows 3.25 points (very tight). Bands are converging.
**Interpretation**: Price is consolidating between very close unmitigated levels. Breakout likely.
**Action**:
- Don't try to predict direction
- Set alerts above 1st High and below 1st Low
- When break occurs, trade the retest
- Expect volatility - use wider stops
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You're in a narrow passage. Movement will be sudden and directional once it starts.
---
### Scenario 5: "Imbalanced Structure"
**Situation**: The statistics row shows "📊 22↑ / 7↓"
**Interpretation**: There are many more unmitigated highs than lows. This suggests:
- Price has been declining (hitting lows, leaving highs behind)
- Potential bullish reversal zone (lots of overhead supply mitigated)
- Or continued bearish structure (resistance everywhere above)
**Action**:
- Look at the age of those 22 highs
- If mostly new (0-2 sessions): Just a recent downmove, not significant yet
- If many old/ancient: Strong overhead resistance, be cautious on longs
- Compare to price action: Is price respecting the remaining lows?
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You've swam deeper than your starting point - most of your markers are above you now. Are you planning the ascent or going deeper?
---
## Final Thoughts: The Philosophy
This indicator is built on a simple but powerful principle: **The market has memory, and that memory has weight.**
Every unmitigated level represents:
- Liquidity left behind
- Orders waiting to be filled
- Institutional interest potentially parked
- Psychological significance for participants
The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more "charged" it becomes. When price finally revisits it, something significant usually happens - either a strong reversal or a definitive break.
Your job as a trader isn't to predict which outcome will occur. Your job is to:
1. **Recognize** when you're approaching these charged zones
2. **Respect** them by adjusting position size and risk
3. **React** appropriately based on how price behaves at them
4. **Remember** that ancient levels (like ancient wisdom) deserve extra reverence
The Cave Diving Framework embedded in this indicator serves as a constant reminder: Trading, like cave diving, requires rigorous respect for environmental hazards, meticulous planning, and the discipline to turn back when your limits are reached.
**Every proximity alert is the market asking you**: *"Do you really want to go deeper?"*
Sometimes the answer is yes - when your setup, confluence, and risk management all align.
Often, the answer should be no - and that's the trader avoiding the accident that would have happened to the gambler.

Volatility High/Low Projection (PHOD / PLOD)AP Capital – Volatility + High/Low Projection
This indicator is designed to identify high-probability intraday turning points by combining daily range statistics, session behaviour, and volatility context into a single clean framework.
It is built for index, forex, and metals traders who want structure, not noise.
🔹 Core Features
1️⃣ Potential High of Day (PHOD) & Potential Low of Day (PLOD)
The indicator highlights likely intraday extremes based on:
Session timing (Asia, London, New York)
Current day volatility vs historical averages
Prior day expansion or compression behaviour
Each level is displayed with:
A clear label (PHOD / PLOD)
A forward-extending box acting as a live Point of Interest (POI)
Automatic invalidation when price breaks the zone
2️⃣ Volatility & Range Context (Info Panel)
A compact information panel in the top-right corner provides real-time context without cluttering the chart:
20-Day Average Range
% of the average range already used today
Range status (NORMAL / EXHAUSTED)
Average session ranges for:
Asia
London
New York
This allows traders to immediately assess whether price is:
Early in the day with room to trend
Statistically stretched and prone to reversal
Over-extended where breakout chasing is risky
3️⃣ Session-Aware Logic
The model respects how markets behave across the trading day:
Asia favours accumulation and potential lows
London provides expansion
New York often delivers distribution or exhaustion
This prevents random high/low marking and focuses only on structurally meaningful levels.
🧠 How to Use
Use PHOD / PLOD boxes as reaction zones, not blind entries
Combine with your own confirmation (structure break, momentum, volume, EMA reclaim, etc.)
Avoid chasing trades when the Range Status = EXHAUSTED
Particularly effective on 15m – 1h timeframes
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator does not repaint
It is contextual, not a buy/sell signal generator
Best used as part of a complete trading plan
📈 Suitable Markets
XAUUSD (Gold)
Indices (NASDAQ, S&P 500, DAX)
Major FX pairs

Double&Triple Pattern[TS_Indie]📌 Description – Double & Triple Pattern Indicator
The Double & Triple Pattern Indicator is developed to help traders systematically and clearly identify Double Top, Double Bottom, Triple Top, and Triple Bottom chart patterns.
⚙️ Core Logic & Working Mechanism
The Double & Triple Pattern Indicator is built on the concept of price swing formation, based on the logic of Trend Entry_0 , which focuses on structured market analysis and price action behavior.
The indicator detects three main swing points (Swing 1, Swing 2, and Swing 3). A Fibonacci Box is then created using Swing A and Swing B as reference points to define the swing detection zone.
When all three swings remain inside the defined Fibonacci Box, the structure is considered a valid Price Action setup.
The indicator then plots key lines on the chart:
➩ Break Line – used to confirm the signal (confirmation)
➩ Cancel Line – used to invalidate the price action if price moves against the conditions
➛ When price breaks the Break Line , the structure is confirmed and a Pending Order is placed at Swing B , with the Stop Loss set at Swing 1.
➛ If price breaks the Cancel Line first, the price action structure is immediately invalidated.
⚙️ Fibonacci Entry Zone & Change SL Settings
➩ When Fibo Entry Zone is set to 0, the Pending Order is placed directly at Swing B.
➩ When the value is greater than 0, the Pending Order is calculated using Fibonacci levels drawn from Swing B to the Stop Loss level.
➩ Change SL allows switching the Stop Loss reference between Swing 1 and Swing A.
⚙️ Min & Max Control for Swing Size : xATR
When enabling Control Size Swing : xATR , the indicator filters Swing B based on the defined Min and Max range.
This allows traders to selectively test larger or smaller swing-based price actions , depending on their trading strategy.
⭐ Pending Order Cancellation Conditions
A Pending Order will be canceled under the following conditions:
1.A new Price Action signal appears on either the Buy or Sell side.
2.When Time Session is enabled, the Pending Order is canceled once price exits the selected session.
🕹 Order Management Rule
When there is an active open position, the indicator restricts the creation of new Pending Orders to prevent overlapping positions.

Trendlines & SR ZonesIt's a comprehensive indicator (Pine Script v6) that represents two powerful technical analysis tools: automatic trendline detection based on pivot points and volume delta analysis with support/resistance zone identification. This overlay indicator helps traders identify potential trend directions and key price levels where significant buying or selling pressure has occurred.
Features: =
1. Price Trendlines
The indicator automatically identifies and draws trendlines based on pivot points, creating dynamic support and resistance levels.
Key Components:
Pivot Detection: Uses configurable left and right bars to identify significant pivot highs and lows
Trendline Filtering: Only draws downward-sloping resistance trendlines and upward-sloping support trendlines
Zone Creation: Creates filled zones around trendlines based on average price volatility
Automatic Management: Maintains only the 3 most recent significant trendlines to avoid chart clutter
Customization Options:
Left/Right Bars for Pivot: Adjust sensitivity of pivot detection (default: 10 bars each side)
Extension Length: Control how far trendlines extend past the second pivot (default: 50 bars)
Average Body Periods: Set the lookback period for volatility calculation (default: 100)
Tolerance Multiplier: Adjust the width of the trendline zones (default: 1.0)
Color Customization: Separate colors for high (resistance) and low (support) trendlines and their fills
2. Volume Delta % Bars
The indicator analyzes volume distribution across price levels to identify significant supply and demand zones.
Key Components:
Volume Profile Analysis: Divides the price range into rows and calculates volume delta at each level
Delta Visualization: Displays horizontal bars showing the percentage difference between buying and selling volume
Zone Identification: Automatically identifies the most significant supply and demand zones
Visual Integration: Connects volume delta bars with corresponding support/resistance zones on the price chart
Customization Options:
Lookback Period: Set the number of bars to analyze for volume (default: 200)
Price Rows: Control the granularity of the volume analysis (default: 50 rows)
Delta Sections: Adjust the number of horizontal delta bars displayed (default: 20)
Panel Appearance: Customize width, position, and direction of the delta panel
Zone Settings: Control the number of supply/demand zones and their extension (default: 3 zones)
How It Works-
Trendline Logic:
The script continuously scans for pivot highs and lows based on the specified left and right bars
When a pivot is detected, it creates a horizontal line at that price level
The script then looks for the previous pivot of the same type (high or low)
It connects these pivots with a trendline, extending it based on the user-specified setting
A parallel line is created to form a zone, with the distance based on average price volatility
The script filters out invalid trendlines (upward-sloping resistance and downward-sloping support). Only the 3 most recent trendlines are maintained to prevent chart clutter
Volume Delta Logic:
The script divides the price range over the lookback period into the specified number of rows
For each bar in the lookback period, it categorizes volume as bullish (close > open) or bearish (close < open). This volume is assigned to the appropriate price level based on the HLC3 price.
The price levels are grouped into sections, and the net delta (bullish - bearish volume) is calculated for each Horizontal bars are drawn to represent these delta percentages.
The most significant positive and negative deltas are identified and displayed as support and resistance zones. These zones are extended to the left on the price chart and connected to the delta panel with dotted lines.
Ideal Timeframes:
The indicator is versatile and can be used across multiple timeframes, but it performs optimally on specific timeframes depending on your trading style:
For Day Trading:
Optimal Timeframes: 15-minute to 1-hour charts
Why: These timeframes provide a good balance between noise reduction and sufficient volume data. The volume delta analysis is particularly effective on these timeframes as it captures intraday accumulation/distribution patterns while the trendlines remain reliable enough for intraday trading decisions.
For Swing Trading:
Optimal Timeframes: 1-hour to 4-hour charts
Why: These timeframes offer the best combination of reliable trendline formation and meaningful volume analysis. The trendlines on these timeframes are less prone to whipsaws, while the volume delta analysis captures multi-day trading sessions and institutional activity.
For Position Trading:
Optimal Timeframes: Daily and weekly charts
Why: On these higher timeframes, trendlines become extremely reliable as they represent significant market structure points. The volume delta analysis reveals longer-term accumulation and distribution patterns that can define major support and resistance zones for weeks or months.
Timeframe-Specific Adjustments:
Lower Timeframes (1-15 minutes):
Reduce left/right bars for pivots (5-8 bars)
Decrease lookback period for volume delta (50-100 bars)
Increase tolerance multiplier (1.2-1.5) to account for higher volatility
Higher Timeframes (Daily+):
Increase left/right bars for pivots (15-20 bars)
Extend lookback period for volume delta (300-500 bars)
Consider increasing the number of price rows (70-100) for more detailed volume analysis
Usage Guidelines-
For Trendline Analysis:
Use the trendlines as dynamic support and resistance levels
Price reactions at these levels can indicate potential trend continuation or reversal points
The filled zones around trendlines represent areas of price volatility or uncertainty
Consider the slope of the trendline as an indication of trend strength
For Volume Delta Analysis:
The horizontal delta bars show where buying or selling pressure has been concentrated
Green bars indicate areas where buying volume exceeded selling volume (demand)
Red bars indicate areas where selling volume exceeded buying volume (supply)
The highlighted supply and demand zones on the price chart represent significant price levels
These zones can act as future support or resistance areas as price revisits them
Customization Tips:
Trendline Sensitivity: Decrease left/right bars values to detect more pivots (more sensitive) or increase them for fewer, more significant pivots
Zone Width: Adjust the tolerance multiplier to make trendline zones wider or narrower based on your trading style
Volume Analysis: Increase the lookback period for a longer-term volume profile or decrease it for more recent activity
Visual Clarity: Adjust colors and transparency settings to match your chart theme and preferences
Conclusion:
This indicator provides traders with a comprehensive view of both trend dynamics and volume-based support/resistance levels. With these two analytical approaches, the indicator offers valuable insights for identifying potential entry and exit points, trend strength, and key price levels where significant market activity has occurred. The extensive customization options allow traders to adapt the indicator to various trading styles and timeframes, with optimal performance on 15-minute to daily charts depending on their trading horizon.

MenthorQ Levels ConversionLevels Conversion helps traders accurately overlay price levels from spot/index ETFs and indices (like SPX, SPY, QQQ, NDX) onto futures charts (like ES, NQ, etc.).
Because futures and spot/index prices don’t trade at the same price, your levels will be misaligned if you plot them directly. Futures typically trade at a spread or ratio versus their related index/ETF. This indicator solves that by calculating the conversion ratio automatically, so your levels stay aligned on the futures chart.
How it works
This script calculates the ratio between Asset A and Asset B and applies it to convert levels from one instrument to the other (for example, SPX → ES, QQQ → NQ).
Ratio options (3 modes)
You can choose one of three ratio sources:
✅ T1 Ratio (Morning Snapshot)
Select a specific time to “lock” the ratio.
Default: 10:00 AM ET (morning session snapshot)
✅ T2 Ratio (Afternoon Snapshot)
Select a second time to “lock” the ratio.
Default: 3:30 PM ET (afternoon snapshot)
✅ Last Price Ratio (Live)
Uses the last traded price of both assets to compute the ratio.
Note: To refresh the “Last Price” baseline, simply remove and re-add the indicator.

3LL+Baby & 3HH+Baby Pattern3LL+Baby & 3HH+Baby Pattern Indicator
Overview
This indicator identifies powerful reversal patterns based on momentum exhaustion and inside bar formations. It detects two specific candlestick patterns that signal potential trend reversals: the bullish 3LL+Baby and the bearish 3HH+Baby.
Pattern Descriptions
📈 3LL+Baby Pattern (Bullish Reversal)
Conditions:
Three consecutive candles form lower lows (each low is lower than the previous)
The fourth candle is bullish/green (closes higher than it opens)
The fourth candle is completely contained within the third candle's range (both high and low)
Interpretation: After a downward momentum with three lower lows, a bullish inside bar (baby candle) suggests sellers are exhausted and buyers may be taking control. This pattern often precedes upward reversals.
📉 3HH+Baby Pattern (Bearish Reversal)
Conditions:
Three consecutive candles form higher highs (each high is higher than the previous)
The fourth candle is bearish/red (closes lower than it opens)
The fourth candle is completely contained within the third candle's range (both high and low)
Interpretation: After upward momentum with three higher highs, a bearish inside bar indicates buyers are losing strength and sellers may be gaining control. This pattern often signals potential downward reversals.

MTF Switch Level (Single TF)Multi-timeframe Switch Level (Single TF)
This indicator marks the most recent “switch level” created by breakout / breakdown behaviour on the current timeframe.
How it works
– After a bullish breakout (close above the previous bar’s high), the script sets a bearish switch level at that previous high.
– After a bearish breakdown (close below the previous bar’s low), it sets a bullish switch level at that previous low.
– A single horizontal line extends from the latest switch level.
– The line and “S” label turn bullish when price is above the level and bearish when price is below it.
– Optional alerts fire when price crosses the active switch level.
Use-cases
– Visualise where breakout traders are likely trapped.
– Define a simple “above = bullish / below = bearish” bias line.
– Combine with higher-timeframe analysis or other tools for context.
Inputs
– Enable/disable bullish and bearish switch conditions.
– Line length, colour, style, thickness.
– Label position and offsets.
– Alert conditions for crosses.

Stage 2 Pullback Swing indicatorThis scanner is built for swing traders who want high-probability pullbacks inside strong, established uptrends. It targets names in a confirmed Stage 2 bull phase (Weinstein model) that have pulled back 10–30% from a recent swing high on light selling volume, while still respecting fast EMAs.
Goal: find powerful uptrending stocks during controlled dips before the next leg higher.
What it looks for
Strong prior uptrend: price above the 50 and 200 SMAs, momentum positive over multiple timeframes
Confirmed Stage 2: price above a rising 30-week MA on the weekly chart
Pullback depth: 10–30% off recent swing highs—not too shallow, not broken
Pullback quality: range contained, no panic selling, trend structure intact
EMA behavior: price near EMA10 or EMA20 at signal time
Volume contraction: sellers fading throughout the pullback
Bullish shift: green candle back in trend direction
Why this matters
This setup hints at institutions defending positions during a temporary dip. Strong stocks pull back cleanly with declining volume, then resume the primary trend. This script alerts you when those conditions align.
Best way to use
Filter a strong universe before applying—quality tickers only
Pair with clear trade plans: risk defined by prior swing low or ATR
Trigger alerts instead of hunting charts manually
Intended for
Swing traders who want momentum continuation setups
Traders who prefer entering on controlled retracements
Anyone tired of chasing extended breakouts
30-Minute High and Low30-Minute High and Low Levels
This indicator plots the previous 30-minute candle’s high and low on any intraday chart.
These levels are widely used by intraday traders to identify key breakout zones, liquidity pools, micro-range boundaries, and early trend direction.
Features:
• Automatically pulls the previous 30-minute candle using higher-timeframe HTF requests
• Displays the HTF High (blue) and HTF Low (red) on lower-timeframe charts
• Works on all intraday timeframes (1m, 3m, 5m, 10m, etc.)
• Levels stay fixed until the next 30-minute bar completes
• Ideal for ORB strategies, scalping, liquidity sweeps, and reversal traps
Use Cases:
• Watch for breakouts above the 30-minute high
• Monitor for liquidity sweeps and fakeouts around the high/low
• Treat the mid-range as a magnet during consolidation
• Combine with VWAP or EMA trend structure for high-precision intraday setups
This indicator is simple, fast, and designed for traders who rely on HTF micro-structure to guide intraday execution.
Liquidations (TV Source / Manual / Proxy) Cruz Pro Stack + Liquidations (TV Source / Manual / Proxy) is a high-confluence crypto trading indicator built to merge reversal detection, volatility timing, structure confirmation, and liquidation pressure into one clean decision engine.
This script combines five pro-grade components:
1) RSI Divergence (Regular + Hidden)
Detects early momentum shifts at tops and bottoms to anticipate reversals before price fully reacts.
2) BBWP (Bollinger Band Width Percentile)
Identifies volatility compression and expansion cycles to time breakout conditions and avoid low-quality chop.
3) Market Structure (BOS / CHOCH proxy)
Confirms trend continuation or change-of-character using swing breaks for more reliable directional bias.
4) Liquidations Layer (3 Modes)
Adds liquidation-driven context for where price is likely to squeeze or flush next:
TV Source: Use TradingView’s built-in Liquidations plot when available.
Manual Totals: Paste 12h/24h/48h long/short totals for higher-level regime bias.
Proxy (Volume Shock): A fallback approximation for spot charts using volume + candle direction.
The script automatically converts your chart timeframe into rolling 12/24/48-hour windows, then computes a weighted liquidation bias and a spike detector to flag potential exhaustion moves.
5) Confluence Score + Signals
A simple scoring engine highlights high-probability setups when multiple factors align.
Signals are printed only when divergence + structure + volatility context agree with liquidation pressure.
How to use
Best on BTC/ETH perps across 15m–4H.
For maximum accuracy:
Add TradingView’s Liquidations indicator (if your exchange/symbol supports it).
Set Liquidations Mode = TV Source.
Select the Liquidations plot as the source.
If that plot can’t be selected, switch to Proxy or Manual Totals.
What this indicator is designed to improve
Earlier reversal recognition
Cleaner breakout timing
Structure-confirmed entries
Better risk management around liquidation-driven moves
Fewer low-quality trades during dead volatility
