Infiten's Price Percentage Oscillator Channel (PPOC Indicator)What is the script used for?
Infiten's Price Percentage Oscillator (PPOC Indicator) can be used as a contrarian indicator for volatile stocks and futures to indicate reversals, areas of support and resistance. For longer term trading, if the Short SMA or prices go above the High PPO Threshold line, it is a sign that the asset is overbought, whereas prices or the Short SMA going below the Low PPO Threshold line indicates that the asset is oversold.
What lines can be plotted?
Low PPO Thresh - Calculated as -PPO Threshold * Short MA + Long MA : Gives the price below which the PPO hits your lower threshold
High PPO Thresh - Calculated as PPO Threshold * Short MA + Long MA : Gives the price above which the PPO hits your upper threshold
MA PPO : Plots candles with the Low PPO Thresh as the low, High PPO Thresh as the high, Short MA as the open, and Long MA as the close.
Short SMA : plots the short simple moving average
Long SMA : plots the long simple moving average
Customizable Values :
Short MA Length : the number of bars back used to calculate the short moving average for a PPO
Long MA Length : the number of bars back used to calculate the long moving average for a PPO
PPO Threshold : the percent difference from the moving average expressed as a decimal (0.5 = 50%)
Recommendations:
Longer timeframes like 300 days are best with larger PPO Thresholds, I recommend using a PPO Threshold of 0.5 or higher. For shorter timeframes like 14 days I recommend setting smaller PPO Thresholds, like 0.3 or lower. I find that these values typically capture the most extremes in price action.

Bjorgum TSI Arrows
This script is intended to help the viewer identify potential turning points with momentum "headwinds" or "tailwinds" with a visual que at the bar level. The presence of arrows indicates that the TSI indicator is either "curling" up under the signal line, or "curling" down over the signal line. This can help to anticipate reversals, or moves in favor of trend direction.
Multiple script overlays can be used for "Multi-timeframe analysis" by altering the "resolution" feature.
eg: Viewer could enable 2 "Arrow" scripts while watching the daily timeframe, and setting one of them to indicate weekly conditions. This can help identify prevailing trend strength when using smaller timeframes.
Trend Reversal / Potential pressureThis strategy looks for potential trend reversals by looking at hammer candles (defined in the is_hammer and is_stick functions). After getting confirmation a trade is open with determined SL/TP. ATR is used to justify the volatility. Fine-tune the parameters for your specific use case.
VPTbollfib & Camarilla (Danarilla)I do not own the original indicators. This is just a combination of the two because of their nature to work in a similar way.
Camarilla Pivots run on the basis of intraday range trading. Usually after daily open you look the fade whatever move happened before. by shorting R3/H3 levels or longing R3/L3. Targeting the other side of the range. This is the infamous PivotBoss level calculations and you would want to activate camarilla and turn off the normal pivots. They use the previous days volatility to plot the next days levels.
But what about some confirmation?
Well RafaelIzoni (who made it open source for improvement) threw together this VPTbollfib. It is volume price trend crossing down a fib line using bollinger bands as price envelope. The beauty of this is that It will signal usually counter to current price action based on selling into uptrends or vise versa. Meaning you get signals to counter price. Which is what you might be looking for on range day trade scalps for camarilla. A wick reversal or engulfing + volume based signal is a very happy pairing together. And those signals are usually suitable for the target of the range you are day trading. Hourly time frame works quite well for both. And camarilla should also be on daily settings.
Special Thanks to Nanda (who published the pivotboss indicator AND) Helped to merge the scripts together.
This indicator alone is an entire trade system. Camarilla already is. If you know the rules. it can be used for entries, exits, risk management to trade the range on TREND, COUNTER TREND, and BREAKOUT plays. The bollinger band fibs add confirmation to the trends levels. And the VPT adds a secondary confirmation to take a camarilla trade.
Try it out. I think you will find both the levels on camarilla and the VPT signals quite suprising.
Higher Highs & Lower Lows Stochastics - Vitali ApirineThis is my modified "Higher Highs & Lower Lows Stochastics" employing PSv4.0, originally formulated by Vitali Apirine for TASC - February 2016 Traders Tips. Reading through a TASC magazine of mine, behold, I found a little known indicator that I can't find anywhere on all of Tradingview. That was a tragedy I felt I had to resolve... This indicator is best described as a dual momentum indicator, being helpful with anticipating reversals, spotting emerging trends, and defining correction periods. I felt it worthy of justice to unveil this for all TV members to utilize and also learn from. It's uniqueness is beyond past due for the honor it deserves on Tradingview.
As always, I have included advanced Pine programming techniques that conform to proper "Pine Etiquette". For those of you who are newcomers to Pine Script, this code release may also help you comprehend the "Power of Pine" by employing advanced programming techniques while exhibiting code utilization in a most effective manner. This script's uniqueness displays that we can now override built-in Pine functions. Firstly, you may have noticed that I replaced ema(), sma(), highest(), and lowest(). If you weren't aware of this Pine capability, well, here is a prime example... Now you know! Just heed caution when doing so to ensure your replacement algorithms are 100% sound. Lastly, I also added an additional "Median" line where the companion stochastics seemingly appear to gravitate within a central zone.
NOTICE: You may have observed, there is highest(), lowest(), ema(), and sma() custom functions overwriting Pine built-ins, some of which are audaciously used in ternary. "IF" you are planning to use Pine Script v4.0 functions in ternary, be forewarned, they WILL NOT operate as expected in most scenarios. The reason why I legitimately used them here in ternary is because they are ONLY manually controlled by an input(). If these were dynamically controlled with bar-to-bar dynamic conditional logic, you would most certainly run into serious unexpected programming issues, potentially resulting in hours of frustrations and guaranteed loss of hair. That's my lesson for this release, so never ever forget this when utilizing the full potential of the "Power of Pine". For more information concerning these potential dilemmas, please consult "Execution of Pine functions and historical context inside function blocks" in the "Pine Script v4 User Manual".

B3 Donchian CloudsThis is the Donchian Channel expressed with a percentage cloud. Default 12.5% of the range will be filled at each edge, this helps to show reversal possibilities as price returns to the area between the clouds. This offers a usage to essentially fade the turtle trader system. That system is loosely based on the playing of the breakouts of the the channel... as you can see the that last turtle trade long in YM1! was and is off the charts awesome. I will look for the fall out of the cloud to short the market.
B3 ECOBlau's Ergodic Candlestick Oscillator = a decent trend finder, however slightly lagged. It can help you to see a reversal entry if you are looking for one. I find the one line ECO hard to use, so I have created this histogram version with a signal line. The colors help to show you whats going on with the ECO and its bias. This indicator shows up in a couple books by people other than Blau, and namely by Krausz. You can also see divergences, for example in pic above the lower or second of the two green humps showing that the general uptrend might be weakened as this run contained less momentum. Tighten up the signal line to see a faster change in its color. These settings are the B3 input settings for default, meaning the ones I use in trading. They are not however the default values you might read about other places.

One Trading Setup for Life ICT [TradingFinder] Sweep Session FVG🔵 Introduction
ICT One Trading Setup for Life is a trading strategy based on liquidity and market structure shifts, utilizing the PM Session Sweep to determine price direction. In this strategy, the market first forms a price range during the PM Session (from 13:30 to 16:00 EST), which includes the highest high (PM Session High) and lowest low (PM Session Low).
In the next session, the price first touches one of these levels to trigger a Liquidity Hunt before confirming its trend by breaking the Change in State of Delivery (CISD) Level. After this confirmation, the price retraces toward a Fair Value Gap (FVG) or Order Block (OB), which serve as the best entry points in alignment with liquidity.
In financial markets, liquidity is the primary driver of price movement, and major market participants such as institutional investors and banks are constantly seeking liquidity at key levels. This process, known as Liquidity Hunt or Liquidity Sweep, occurs when the price reaches an area with a high concentration of orders, absorbs liquidity, and then reverses direction.
In this setup, the PM Session range acts as a trading framework, where its highs and lows function as key liquidity zones that influence the next session’s price movement. After the New York market opens at 9:30 EST, the price initially breaks one of these levels to capture liquidity.
However, for a trend shift to be confirmed, the CISD Level must be broken.
Once the CISD Level is breached, the price retraces toward an FVG or OB, which serve as optimal trade entry points.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
In this strategy, the PM Session range is first identified, which includes the highest high (PM Session High) and lowest low (PM Session Low) between 13:30 and 16:00 EST. In the following session, the price touches one of these levels for a Liquidity Hunt, followed by a break of the Change in State of Delivery (CISD) Level. The price then retraces toward a Fair Value Gap (FVG) or Order Block (OB), creating a trading opportunity.
This process can occur in two scenarios : bearish and bullish setups.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In a bullish scenario, the PM Session High and PM Session Low are identified. In the following session, the price first breaks the PM Session Low, absorbing liquidity. This process results in a Fake Breakout to the downside, misleading retail traders into taking short positions.
After the Liquidity Hunt, the CISD Level is broken, confirming a trend reversal. The price then retraces toward an FVG or OB, offering an optimal long entry opportunity.
The initial take-profit target is the PM Session High, but if higher timeframe liquidity levels exist, extended targets can be set.
The stop-loss should be placed below the Fake Breakout low or the first candle of the FVG.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In a bearish scenario, the market first defines its PM Session High and PM Session Low. In the next session, the price initially breaks the PM Session High, triggering a Liquidity Hunt. This movement often causes a Fake Breakout, misleading retail traders into taking incorrect positions.
After absorbing liquidity, the CISD Level breaks, indicating a shift in market structure. The price then retraces toward an FVG or OB, offering the best short entry opportunity.
The initial take-profit target is the PM Session Low, but if additional liquidity exists on higher timeframes, lower targets can be considered.
The stop-loss should be placed above the Fake Breakout high or the first candle of the FVG.
🔵 Setting
CISD Bar Back Check : The Bar Back Check option enables traders to specify the number of past candles checked for identifying the CISD Level, enhancing CISD Level accuracy on the chart.
Order Block Validity : The number of candles that determine the validity of an Order Block.
FVG Validity : The duration for which a Fair Value Gap remains valid.
CISD Level Validity : The duration for which a CISD Level remains valid after being broken.
New York PM Session : Defines the PM Session range from 13:30 to 16:00 EST.
New York AM Session : Defines the AM Session range from 9:30 to 16:00 EST.
Refine Order Block : Enables finer adjustments to Order Block levels for more accurate price responses.
Mitigation Level OB : Allows users to set specific reaction points within an Order Block, including: Proximal: Closest level to the current price. 50% OB: Midpoint of the Order Block. Distal: Farthest level from the current price.
FVG Filter : The Judas Swing indicator includes a filter for Fair Value Gap (FVG), allowing different filtering based on FVG width: FVG Filter Type: Can be set to "Very Aggressive," "Aggressive," "Defensive," or "Very Defensive." Higher defensiveness narrows the FVG width, focusing on narrower gaps.
Mitigation Level FVG : Like the Order Block, you can set price reaction levels for FVG with options such as Proximal, 50% OB, and Distal.
Demand Order Block : Enables or disables bullish Order Block.
Supply Order Block : Enables or disables bearish Order Blocks.
Demand FVG : Enables or disables bullish FVG.
Supply FVG : Enables or disables bearish FVGs.
Show All CISD : Enables or disables the display of all CISD Levels.
Show High CISD : Enables or disables high CISD levels.
Show Low CISD : Enables or disables low CISD levels.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT One Trading Setup for Life is a liquidity-based strategy that leverages market structure shifts and precise entry points to identify high-probability trade opportunities. By focusing on PM Session High and PM Session Low, this setup first captures liquidity at these levels and then confirms trend shifts with a break of the Change in State of Delivery (CISD) Level.
Entering a trade after a retracement to an FVG or OB allows traders to position themselves at optimal liquidity levels, ensuring high reward-to-risk trades. When used in conjunction with higher timeframe bias, order flow, and liquidity analysis, this strategy can become one of the most effective trading methods within the ICT Concept framework.
Successful execution of this setup requires risk management, patience, and a deep understanding of liquidity dynamics. Traders can enhance their confidence in this strategy by conducting extensive backtesting and analyzing past market data to optimize their approach for different assets.
Three-Bar Reversal SignalThis indicator is a simple setup of Three Bar Reversal. Logic of the code is as below.
Rules :
Long Setup
Bar 1 closes down
Low of Bar 2 is below the low of Bar 1 (and Bar 3)
Bar 3 closes above the high of both Bar 1 and Bar 2
Buy at the close of Bar 3
Short Setup
Bar 1 closes up
High of Bar 2 is above the high of Bar 1 (and Bar 3)
Bar 3 closes below the low of both Bar 1 and Bar 2
Sell at the close of Bar 3
Volume ReversalsThe "Volume Reversals" indicator is a trading tool designed to identify potential buy and sell signals based on volume patterns.
Features
Filter Signals : Traders can enable or disable additional filtering of signals, which refines the conditions under which buy and sell labels are displayed.
Buy and Sell Labels: The indicator dynamically places labels on the chart to signify buy ("▲+") and sell ("▼+") opportunities. Buy labels appear at low points of bars with a green upward-pointing arrow, while sell labels appear at high points with a red downward-pointing arrow.
Customizable Alerts: Users can set alerts for buy and sell signals, receiving notifications when conditions match predefined patterns.
Logic Explained
Volume Comparison: The script examines a sequence of the last five volume bars to detect increasing or decreasing trends.
Price Action Analysis: Each volume bar is paired with a corresponding price action (bullish or bearish) from the same period.
Signal Conditions: A signal is generated under two scenarios:
Normal Conditions: Sequential increase/decrease in volume over three bars accompanied by bearish/bullish price action, followed by a dip in volume with a bullish/bearish bar.
Filtered Conditions (if filter is active): Requires all last four bars to be bearish/bullish, the most recent bar's volume to be less than the immediate previous, and then exceeds the volume two bars prior, closing bullish/bearish.
This indicator is suited for various assets and timeframes, especially in markets where volume plays a significant role in price dynamics.

Unlock the potential of cryptocurrency markets with our cutting-edge On-Chain Pine Script™ indicator, designed to highlight extreme realized profit and loss zones! 🎯📈
Key Features:
✨ Realized Profits/Losses Calculation: Uses real-time data from the blockchain to monitor profit and loss realization events.
📊 Multi-Crypto Compatibility: The Indicator is compatible on other Crypto tickers besides Bitcoin.
⚙️ Customizable Sensitivity: Adjust the look-back period, normalization period, and deviation thresholds to tailor the indicator to your trading style.
🎨 Visual Enhancements: Choose from a variety of colors for up and down trends, and toggle extreme profit/loss overlay for easy viewing.
🔔 Integrated Alerts: Set up alerts for high and extreme profit or loss conditions, helping you stay ahead of significant market movements.
🔍 How to Use:
🛠 Add the Indicator: Add the indicator to favorites. Customize settings like period lengths and deviation thresholds according to your needs.
📊 Market Analysis: Monitor the main oscillator and the bands to understand current profit and loss extremes in the market. When the oscillator is at the upper band, this means that the market is doing really well and traders/investors will be likely to take profit and cause a reversal. The opposite is true when the oscillator reaches the lower band. The main oscillator can also be used for trend analysis.
🔔 Set Alerts: Configure alerts to notify you when the market enters a zone of high profit or loss, or during trend changes, enabling timely decisions without constant monitoring.
How It Works:
The indicator calculates a normalized area under the RSI curve applied on on-chain data regarding the number of wallets in profit. It employs a custom "src" variable that aggregates data from the blockchain about profit and loss addresses, adapting to intraday or longer timeframes as needed. The main oscillator plots this normalized area, while the upper and lower bands are plotted based on a deviation metric to identify extreme conditions. Colored fills between these bands visually denote these zones. For interaction, the indicator plots bubbles for extreme profits or losses and provides optional bar coloring to reflect the current market trend.
🚀💹 Enjoy a comprehensive, customizable, and visually engaging tool that helps you stay ahead in the fast-paced crypto market!
Catching Trend Reversals by shorting tops and buying bottomsHOLP (High of the low period) and LOHP (Low of the high period)
Catching Trend Reversals by shorting tops and buying bottoms
using this Swing High/Low Indicator
Trading Strategy comes from Mastering the Trade, by John Carter pg 300.
Trading Rules for Sells, Buys are reversed
1. Identifying a trending market, where today's price is making a 20-day high (17-18 day highs are also fine)
Note this is configurable by setting the trending period variable (defaults to 20)
For example if price is making a 20 period high or 20 period low, it will show a triangle up/down above the candle.
2. Identify the high bar in the uptrend
3. Go short once the price action closes below the low of this high bar
4. The initial stop is the high of the high bar.
5. If you are in the trade on the third day or period, use a 2 bar trailing stop.
You can check 2-bar trailing stop to draw the line, defaults to off.
Stop is indicated by the white dot.

Fibonacci Ranges (Real-Time) [LuxAlgo]The "Fibonacci Ranges" indicator combines Fibonacci ratio-derived ranges (channels), together with a Fibonacci pattern of the latest swing high/low.
🔶 USAGE
The indicator draws real-time ranges based on Fibonacci ratios as well as retracements. Breakouts from a Fibonacci Channel are also indicated by labels, indicating a potential reversal.
Each range extremity/area can also be used as support/resistance.
🔶 CONCEPTS
Fibonacci Channels
Latest Fibonacci
Both, Latest Fibonacci and Fibonacci Channels , display different Fibonacci levels (labels not included in the code):
However, the 2 react in a totally different way.
🔹 Fibonacci Channels
2 conditions must be fulfilled until a Fibonacci Channel is displayed:
New swing high/low
close has to be between chosen limits/levels ( Break level )
As visual guidance, chosen Break levels are accentuated by 2 small gray blocks:
Once the channel is displayed, it will remain visible until x consecutive bars break out of the chosen Break level at closing time.
• x consecutive bars is set by Break count .
The amount of breaks is counted in the code. When the price, without breaking the user-set limit, closes back between the 2 levels, the count is reset to 0.
By enabling Channels and Shadows you can see previous channels (" Shadows ", which is always delayed with 1 bar)
Previous channels can be helpful in finding potential support/resistance areas, especially from large channel blocks
The more narrow Break levels are set the less chance the price closes between these 2 levels, and the quicker close breaks out.
In other words, narrow levels give fewer & smaller channels, broader levels give more & larger channels.
Note:
• swing settings: L & R
• Break count (x consecutive bars that close outside chosen levels to invalidate the Fibonacci Channel )
will also be of influence in displaying the channels.
• Show breaks enable you to visualize signals when there is a break:
• Alerts can also be set ( Break Down / Break Up )
🔹 Latest Fibonacci
This displays the Fibonacci levels between the latest swing high and swing low, independently from the Fibonacci Channel .
The Lastest Fibonacci can be helpful in detecting the current trend against the larger Fibonacci Channel .
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Swing Settings
L: set left of pivothigh / pivotlow
R: set right of pivothigh / pivotlow
🔹 Fibonacci Channels

Adjustable MA & Alternating Extremities [LuxAlgo]Returns a moving average allowing the user to control the amount of lag as well as the amplitude of its overshoots thanks to a parametric kernel. The indicator displays alternating extremities and aims to provide potential points where price might reverse.
Due to user requests, we added the option to display the moving average as candles instead of a solid line.
Settings
Length: MA period, refers to the number of most recent data points to use for its calculation.
Mult: Multiplicative factor for each extremity.
As Smoothed Candles: Allows the user to show the MA as a series of candles instead of a solid line.
Show Alternating Extremities : Determines whether to display the alternating extremities or not.
Lag: Controls the amount of lag of the MA, with higher values returning a MA with more lag.
Overshoot: Controls the amplitude of the overshoots returned by the MA, with higher values increasing the amplitude of the overshoots.
Usage
Moving averages using parametric kernels allows users to have more control over characteristics such as lag or smoothness; this can greatly benefit the analyst. A moving average with reduced lag can be used as a leading moving average in a MA crossover system, while lag will benefit moving averages used as slow MA in a crossover system.
Increasing 'Lag' will increase smoothness while increasing 'overshoot' will reduce lag.
The following indicator puts more emphasis on its alternating extremities, an upper extremity will be shown once the high price crosses the upper extremity, while a low extremity will be shown once the low price crosses the lower extremity. These can be interpreted like extremities of a band indicator.
The MA using a length value of 200 with a multiplicative factor of 1.
In general, extremities will effectively return points where price might potentially bounce in ranging markets while closing prices under trending markets will often be found above an upper extremity and under a lower extremity.
Reducing the lag of the moving average allows the user to obtain a more timely estimate of the underlying trend in the price, with a better fit overall. This allows the user to obtain potentially pertinent extremities where price might reverse upon a break, even under trending markets.
In the above chart, the price initially breaks the upper extremity, however, we can observe that the upper extremity eventually reaches back the price, goes above it, provides a resistance, and effectively indicates a reversal.
Users can plot candles from the moving average, these are fairly similar to heikin-ashi candles in the sense that CandleOpen(t) ≠ CandleClose(t-1) , each point of the candle is calculated as follows for our indicator:
Open = Average between MA(t-1) and MA(t-2)
High = MA using the high price as input
Low = MA using the low price as input
Close = MA using the closing price as input
Details
Lag is defined as the effect of moving averages to reflect past price variations instead of new ones, lag can be observed by the user and is the main cause of false signals. Lag is proportional to the degree of filtering returned by the moving average.
Overshooting is a common effect encountered in non-lagging moving averages, and is defined as the tendency of a moving average to exceed a maximum level (or minimum level, which can be defined as undershooting )
MA and rolling maximum/minimum, both using a length of 50 bars. While we can think of lag as a cost of smoothness, we can think of overshooting as a cost for reduced lag on some occasions.
Explaining the kernel design behind our moving average requires understanding of the logic behind lag reduction in moving averages. This can prove to be complex for non informed users, but let's just focus on the simpler part; moving averages can be defined as a weighted sum between past prices and a set of coefficients (kernel).
MA(t) = b(0)C(t) + b(1)C(t-1) + b(2)C(t-2) + ... + b(n-1)C(t-n-1)
Where n is the period of the moving average. Lag is (non optimally) reduced by "underweighting" past prices - that is multiplying them by negative numbers.
The kernel used in our moving average is based on a modified sinewave. A weighted sum making use of a sinewave as a kernel would return an oscillator centered at 0. We can divide this sinewave by an increasing linear function in order to obtain a kernel allowing us to obtain a low lag moving average instead of a centered oscillator. This is the main idea in the design of the kernel used by our moving average.
The kernel equation of our moving average is:
sin(2πx^α)(1 - x^β)
With 1>x>0 , and where α controls the lag, while β controls the overshoot amplitude.
Using this equation we can obtain the following kernels:
Here only α is changed, while β is equal to 1. Values to the left would represent the coefficients for the most recent prices. Notice how the most significant coefficients are given to the oldest prices in the case where α increases.
Higher overshoot would require more negative values, this is controlled by β
Here only β is changed, while α is equal to 1. Notice how higher values return lower negative coefficients. This effectively increases the overshoots amplitude in our moving average. We can decrease α in order for these negative coefficients to underweight more recent values.
Using α = 0 allows us to simplify the kernel equation to:
1 - x^β
Using this kernel we can obtain more classical moving averages, this can be seen from the following results:
Using β = 1 allows us to obtain a linearly decreasing kernel (the one of a WMA), while increasing allows the kernel to converge toward a rectangular kernel (the one of SMA).
Golden Cross Optimised For Reversal (by Coinrule)A moving average crossing is a common and widely adopted trading strategy. A short-term MA crossing above a long-term one provides the buy-signal. The opposite generates a sell-signal for the strategy.
Although very popular, this strategy has some limitations that lead to frequent "false signals" and only a few very profitable trades. If the strategy provides two many trades, that generates
the risk for more potential losses
more transaction fees paid
capital allocated to the strategy, thus the impossibility of catching other potential opportunities.
Applying an additional filter to the strategy, consisting of the crossing happening below a longer-term moving average, allows increasing the chances of catching the first crossing signaling a reversal.
The indicator is set to work with three moving averages.
Buy signal: The MA(9) to cross above the MA(50), which must be below the MA(100)
Sell Signal: The MA(9) to cross below the MA(50)
This indicator works significantly better on lower time frames, where it can reduce the noise of getting too many non-profitable signals from a conventional crossing strategy.
The indicator has been backtested mostly on cryptocurrencies.
Auto-Dispersion BandsIntroduction
A really old indicator as well, thus i have no much ideas of what is going on with it, but i know that those bands returns good reversals points. The indicator don't use standard deviation, instead its a simple differencing of the price and the price length bars back who will provide a dispersion measurement, thus the name auto-dispersion.
The Indicator
The smooth parameter allow the band to cross the price, if smooth is low the chance of crosses are lower.
smooth = 3
