The Vet [TFO]In collaboration with @mickey1984 , "The Vet" was created to showcase various statistical measures of price.
The first core measurement utilizes the Defining Range (DR) concept on a weekly basis. For example, we might track the session from 09:30-10:30 on Mondays to get the DR high, DR low, IDR high, and IDR low. The DR high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the session, respectively, whereas the IDR high and low would be the highest candle body level (open or close) and lowest candle body level, respectively, during this window of time.
From this data, we use the IDR range (from IDR high to IDR low) to extrapolate several, custom projections of this range from its high and low so that we can collect data on how often these levels are hit, from the close of one DR session to the open of the next one.
This information is displayed in the Range Projection Table with a few main columns of information:
- The leftmost column indicates each level that is projected from the IDR range, where (+) indicates a projection above the range high, and (-) indicates a projection below the range low
- The "First Touch" column indicates how often price has reached these levels in the past at any point until the next weekly DR session
- The "Other Side Touch" column indicates how often price has reached a given level, then reversed to hit the opposing level of the same magnitude. For example, the above chart shows that if price hit the +1 projection, ~33% of instances also hit the -1 projection before the next weekly DR session. For this reason, the probabilities will be the same for projection levels of the same but opposite magnitude (+1 would be the same as -1, +3 would be the same as -3, etc.)
- The "Next Level Touch" column provides insight into how often price reaches the next greatest projection level. For example, in the above chart, the red box in the projection table is highlighting that once price hits the -2 projection, ~86% of instances reached the -3 projection before the next weekly DR session
- The last columns, "Within ADR" and "Within AWR" show if any of the projection levels are within the current Average Daily Range, or Average Weekly Range, respectively, which can both be enabled from the Average Range section
The next section, Distributions, primarily measures and displays the average price movements from specified intraday time windows. The option to Show Distribution Boxes will overlay a box showing each respective session's average range, while adjusting itself to encapsulate the price action of that session until the average range is met/exceeded. Users can choose to display the range average by Day of Week, or the Total average from all days. Values for average ranges can either be shown as point or percent values. We can also show a table to display this information about price's average ranges for each given session, and show labels displaying the current range vs its average.
The final section, Average Range, simply offers the ability to plot the Average Daily Range (ADR) and Average Weekly Range (AWR) of a specified length. An ADR of 10 for example would take the average of the last 10 days, from high to low, while an AWR of 10 would take the average of the last 10 weeks (if the current chart provides enough data to support this). Similarly, we can also show the Average Range Table to indicate what these ADR/AWR values are, what our current range is and how it compares to those values, as well as some simple statistics on how often these levels are hit. As an example, "Hit +/- ADR: 40%/35%" in this table would indicate that price has hit the upper ADR limit 40% of the time, and the lower limit 35% of the time, for the amount of data available on the current chart.
ICT Indicator with Paper TradingThe strategy implemented in the provided Pine Script is based on **ICT (Inner Circle Trader)** concepts, particularly focusing on **order blocks** to identify key levels for potential reversals or continuations in the market. Below is a detailed description of the strategy:
### 1. **Order Block Concept**
- **Order blocks** are price levels where large institutional orders accumulate, often leading to a reversal or continuation of price movement.
- In this strategy, **order blocks** are identified when:
- The high of the current bar crosses above the high of the previous bar (for bullish order blocks).
- The low of the current bar crosses below the low of the previous bar (for bearish order blocks).
### 2. **Buy and Sell Signal Generation**
The core of the strategy revolves around identifying the **breakout** of order blocks, which is interpreted as a signal to either enter or exit trades:
- **Buy Signal**:
- Generated when the closing price crosses **above** the last identified bullish order block (i.e., the highest point during the last upward crossover of highs).
- This signals a potential upward trend, and the strategy enters a long position.
- **Sell Signal**:
- Generated when the closing price crosses **below** the last identified bearish order block (i.e., the lowest point during the last downward crossover of lows).
- This signals a potential downward trend, and the strategy exits any open long positions.
### 3. **Strategy Execution**
The strategy is executed using the `strategy.entry()` and `strategy.close()` functions:
- **Enter Long Positions**: When a buy signal is generated, the strategy opens a long position (buying).
- **Exit Positions**: When a sell signal is generated, the strategy closes the long position.
### 4. **Visual Indicators on the Chart**
To make the strategy easier to follow visually, buy and sell signals are marked directly on the chart:
- **Buy signals** are indicated with a green upward-facing triangle above the bar where the signal occurred.
- **Sell signals** are indicated with a red downward-facing triangle below the bar where the signal occurred.
### 5. **Key Elements of the Strategy**
- **Trend Continuation and Reversals**: This strategy is attempting to capture trends based on the breakout of important price levels (order blocks). When the price breaks above or below a significant order block, it is expected that the market will continue in that direction.
- **Order Block Strength**: Order blocks are considered strong areas where price action could reverse or accelerate, based on how institutional investors place large orders.
### 6. **Paper Trading**
This script uses **paper trading** to simulate trades without actual money being involved. This allows users to backtest the strategy, seeing how it would have performed in historical market conditions.
### 7. **Basic Strategy Flow**
1. **Order Block Identification**: The script constantly monitors price movements to detect bullish and bearish order blocks.
2. **Buy Signal**: If the closing price crosses above the last order block high, the strategy interprets it as a sign of bullish momentum and enters a long position.
3. **Sell Signal**: If the closing price crosses below the last order block low, it signals a bearish momentum, and the strategy closes the long position.
4. **Visual Representation**: Buy and sell signals are displayed on the chart for easy identification.
### **Advantages of the Strategy:**
- **Simple and Clear Rules**: The strategy is based on clearly defined rules for identifying order blocks and trade signals.
- **Effective for Trend Following**: By focusing on breakouts of order blocks, this strategy attempts to capture strong trends in the market.
- **Visual Aids**: The plot of buy/sell signals helps traders to quickly see where trades would have been placed.
### **Limitations:**
- **No Shorting**: This strategy only enters long positions (buying). It does not account for shorting opportunities.
- **No Risk Management**: There are no built-in stop losses, trailing stops, or profit targets, which could expose the strategy to large losses during adverse market conditions.
- **Whipsaws in Range Markets**: The strategy could produce false signals in sideways or choppy markets, where breakouts are short-lived and prices quickly reverse.
### **Overall Strategy Objective:**
The goal of the strategy is to enter into long positions when the price breaks above a significant order block, and exit when it breaks below. The strategy is designed for trend-following, with the assumption that price will continue in the direction of the breakout.

Adjusted Average VolatilityThis Pine Script calculates the average volatility over the past 20 bars by taking the difference between the high and low prices. It then adjusts this volatility based on the previous closing price: if the price is below $20, the volatility is multiplied by 2, and if it’s above $20, the volatility is multiplied by 1.5. The adjusted volatility is then plotted on the chart, helping traders visualize how volatility changes relative to the asset's price level.

Magic Order Blocks [MW]Add a slim design, minimalist view of the most relevant higher and lower order blocks to your chart. Use our novel method of filtering that uses both the the number of consecutive bullish or bearish candles that follow the order block, and the number of ATRs that the asset’s price changed following the order block. View just the order blocks above and below the current price, or view the backgrounds for each and every one. And, if you're up to it, dig into a comprehensive view of the data for each order block candle.

Calculations
This indicator creates a matrix of each order block that is followed by the user-specified number of consecutive bullish or bearish candles. The data can be further filtered by the number of ATRs that the price moves after the order block - also user-defined. The most recent bearish order block above the current price takes arrays from the initial filtered matrix of arrays, filters once more by the “mid-price” of the order block (the average between the order block candle high and low) and selects the last element from this order block matrix. The same follows for the latest bearish order block above the current price.
How to Use
An order block refers to a price range or zone on a chart where large institutional orders have been placed, causing a significant shift in market direction. These zones are crucial because they often indicate areas of strong buying or selling interest, which can lead to future support or resistance levels. Traders use order blocks to identify potential points of market reversal or continuation.
The Magic Order Blocks default view shows the most recent overhead bearish order block above the current price, and the most recent bullish order block below. These can presumably act as support or resistance levels, because they reflect the last price where a significant price move occurred. “Significant” meaning that the order block candle was followed by many consecutive bullish or bearish candles. Based on the user-defined settings, it can also mean that price moved multiples of the asset's average true range (ATR). More consecutive candles means that the duration of the move lasted a long time. A higher ATR move indicates that the price moved impulsively in one direction.
The default view also shows a label to the right of the current price that provides the price level, the time stamp of the order block (optional), and a sequence of bars that show the significance of the level. By default, these bars represent the number of ATRs that price rose or fell following the order block, but they can be toggled to show the number of consecutive bullish or bearish candles that followed the order block.
Although the default view provides the zones that are most relevant to the current price, past order block candles can also be identified visually with labels as well with translucent backgrounds color-coded for bullish or bearish bias. Overlapping backgrounds can identify an area that has been repeatedly been an area of support or resistance.
A detailed view of each order block can also be viewed the includes the following data points:
Bar Index
Timestamp
Consecutive Accumulated Volume
Consecutive Bars
Price Change over Consecutive Bars
Price/Volume Ratio Over Consecutive Bars
Mid Price of Order Block
High Price of Order Block
Low Price of Order Block
ATRs over Consecutive Bars
- Other Usage Notes and Limitations:
The calculations used only provide an estimated relationship or a close approximation, and are not exact.
It's important for traders to be aware of the limitations of any indicator and to use them as part of a broader, well-rounded trading strategy that includes risk management, fundamental analysis, and other tools that can help with reducing false signals, determining trend direction, and providing additional confirmation for a trade decision. Diversifying strategies and not relying solely on one type of indicator or analysis can help mitigate some of these risks.
Things to keep in mind. Longer timeframes don’t necessarily have a as many consecutive candle drops or gains as with shorter timeframes, so be sure to adjust your settings when moving to 1 hour, 1 day, or 1 week timeframes from 1 minute, 5 minute, or 15 minute timeframes.
Reflected ema Difference (RED) This script, titled "Reflected EMA Difference (RED)," is based on the logic of evaluating the percentage of convergence and divergence between two moving averages, specifically the Hull Moving Averages (HMA), to make price-related decisions. The Hull Moving Average, created by Alan Hull, is used as the foundation of this strategy, offering a faster and more accurate way to analyze market trends. In this script, the concept is employed to measure and reflect price variations.
Script Functionality Overview:
Hull Moving Averages (HMA): The script utilizes two HMAs, one short-term and one long-term. The main idea is to compute the Delta Difference between these two moving averages, which represents how much they are converging or diverging from each other. This difference is key to identifying potential market trend changes.
Reflected HMA Value: Using the Delta Difference between the HMAs, the value of the short-term HMA is reflected, creating a visual reference point that helps traders see the relationship between price and HMAs on the chart.
Percentage Change Index: The second key parameter is the percentage change index. This determines when a trend is reversing, allowing buy or sell orders to be established based on significant changes in the relationship between the HMAs and the price.
Delta Multiplier: The script comes with a default Delta multiplier of 2 for calculating the difference between HMAs, allowing traders to adjust the sensitivity of the analysis based on the time frame being analyzed.
Trend Reversal Signals: When the price crosses the thresholds defined by the percentage change index, buy or sell signals are triggered, based on the detection of a potential trend reversal.
Visual Cues with Boxes: Boxes are drawn on the chart when the HullMA crosses the reflected HMA value, providing a visual aid to identify critical moments where risk should be evaluated.
Alerts for Receiving Signals:
This script allows you to set up buy and sell alerts via TradingView's alert system. These alerts are triggered when trend changes are detected based on the conditions coded in the script. Traders can receive instant notifications, allowing them to make decisions without needing to constantly monitor the chart.
Additional Considerations:
The percentage change parameter is adjustable and should be configured based on the time frame you are trading on. For longer time frames, it's advisable to use a larger percentage change to avoid false signals.
The use of Hull Moving Averages (HMA) provides a faster and more reactive approach to trend evaluation compared to other moving averages, making it a powerful tool for traders seeking quick reversal signals.
This approach combines the power of Hull Moving Averages with an alert system to improve the trader’s response to trend changes.
Spanish
Este script, titulado "Reflected EMA Difference (RED)", está fundamentado en la lógica de evaluar el porcentaje de acercamiento y distancia entre dos medias móviles, específicamente las medias móviles de Hull (HMA), para tomar decisiones sobre el valor del precio. El creador de la media móvil de Hull, Alan Hull, diseñó este indicador para ofrecer una forma más rápida y precisa de analizar tendencias de mercado, y en este script se utiliza su concepto como base para medir y reflejar las variaciones de precio.
Descripción del funcionamiento:
Medias Móviles de Hull (HMA): Se utilizan dos HMAs, una de corto plazo y otra de largo plazo. La idea principal es calcular la diferencia Delta entre estas dos medias móviles, que representa cuánto se están alejando o acercando entre sí. Esta diferencia es clave para identificar cambios potenciales en la tendencia del mercado.
Valor Reflejado de la HMA: Con la diferencia Delta calculada entre las HMAs, se refleja el valor de la HMA corta, creando un punto de referencia visual que ayuda a los traders a observar la relación entre el precio y las HMAs en el gráfico.
Índice de Cambio de Porcentaje: El segundo parámetro clave del script es el índice de cambio porcentual. Este define el momento en que una tendencia está revirtiendo, permitiendo establecer órdenes de compra o venta en función de un cambio significativo en la relación entre las HMAs y el precio.
Multiplicador Delta: El script tiene un multiplicador predeterminado de 2 para el cálculo de la diferencia Delta, lo que permite ajustar la sensibilidad del análisis según la temporalidad del gráfico.
Señales de Reversión de Tendencia: Cuando el precio cruza los límites definidos por el índice de cambio porcentual, se emiten señales para comprar o vender, basadas en la detección de una posible reversión de tendencia.
Visualización con Cajas: Se dibujan cajas en el gráfico cuando el indicador HullMA cruza el valor reflejado de la HMA, ayudando a identificar visualmente los momentos críticos en los que se debe evaluar el riesgo de las operaciones.
Alertas para Recibir Señales:
Este script permite configurar alertas de compra y venta desde el apartado de alertas de TradingView. Estas alertas se activan cuando se detectan cambios de tendencia en función de las condiciones establecidas en el código. El trader puede recibir notificaciones instantáneas, lo que facilita la toma de decisiones sin necesidad de estar constantemente observando el gráfico.
Consideraciones adicionales:
El porcentaje de cambio es un parámetro ajustable y debe configurarse según la temporalidad que se esté operando. En temporalidades más largas, es recomendable usar un porcentaje de cambio mayor para evitar señales falsas.
La utilización de las medias móviles de Hull (HMA) proporciona un enfoque más rápido y reactivo para evaluar tendencias en comparación con otras medias móviles, lo que lo convierte en una herramienta poderosa para traders que buscan señales rápidas de reversión.
Este enfoque combina la potencia de las medias móviles de Hull con un sistema de alertas que mejora la reactividad a cambios de tendencia.

EMA14 Second Time BUY/SELL AlertsEMA14 Crossover Strategy with Conditional BUY/SELL Alerts
This powerful script provides dynamic BUY and SELL alerts based on the interaction between price action and the EMA14 (Exponential Moving Average 14). Ideal for traders looking to capitalize on trend reversals and breakout patterns, this indicator helps you time entries and exits with precision.
Key Features:
Second-Time Crossover Alerts: The script tracks when the price crosses the EMA14 for the second time. This adds confirmation to price movements and helps filter out false signals.
Conditional BUY/SELL Alerts:
BUY Alert: Triggered when the price closes above the EMA14 after a previous SELL signal, indicating a potential trend reversal or breakout to the upside.
SELL Alert: Triggered when the price closes below the EMA14 after a previous BUY signal, signaling a possible shift to the downside.
Advanced Crossover Tracking:
The script counts each crossover of the price relative to the EMA14, generating a BUY or SELL signal on the second instance to provide additional confirmation of trend strength.
Visual Alerts: Labels are plotted directly on the chart to highlight when a BUY or SELL signal has occurred, providing immediate visual feedback for traders to react in real-time.
How It Works:

This script is perfect for traders who rely on moving average strategies and want additional filtering to confirm trends and optimize trade timing.
Descriptive Backtesting Framework (DBF)As the name suggests, this is a backtesting framework made to offer full backtesting functionality to any custom indicator in a visually descriptive way.
Any trade taken will be very clear to visualize on the chart and the equity line will be updated live allowing us to use the REPLAY feature to view the strategy performing in real time.
Stops and Targets will also get draw on the chart with labels and tooltips and there will be a table on the top right corner displaying lots of descriptive metrics to measure your strategy's performance.
IF YOU DECIDE TO USE THIS FRAMEWORK, PLEASE READ **EVERYTHING** BELOW
HOW TO USE IT
Step 1 - Insert Your Strategy Indicators:
Inside this framework's code, right at the beginning, you will find a dedicated section where you can manually insert any set of indicators you desire.
Just replace the example code in there with your own strategy indicators.
Step 2 - Specify The Conditions To Take Trades:
After that, there will be another section where you need to specify your strategy's conditions to enter and exit trades.
When met, those conditions will fire the trading signals to the trading engine inside the framework.
If you don't wish to use some of the available signals, please just assign false to the signal.
DO NOT DELETE THE SIGNAL VARIABLES
Step 3 - Specify Entry/Exit Prices, Stops & Targets:
Finally you'll reach the last section where you'll be able to specify entry/exit prices as well as add stops and targets.
On most cases, it's easier and more reliable to just use the close price to enter and exit trades.
If you decide to use the open price instead, please remember to change step 2 so that trades are taken on the open price of the next candle and not the present one to avoid the look ahead bias.
Stops and targets can be set in any way you want.
Also, please don't forget to update the spread. If your broker uses commissions instead of spreads or a combination of both, you'll need to manually incorporate those costs in this step.
And that's it! That's all you have to do.
Below this section you'll now see a sign warning you about not making any changes to the code below.
From here on, the framework will take care of executing the trades and calculating the performance metrics for you and making sure all calculations are consistent.
VISUAL FEATURES:
Price candles get painted according to the current trade.
They will be blue during long trades, purple on shorts and white when no trade is on.
When the framework receives the signals to start or close a trade, it will display those signals as shapes on the upper and lower limits of the chart:
DIAMOND: represents a signal to open a trade, the trade direction is represented by the shape's color;
CROSS: means a stop loss was triggered;
FLAG: means a take profit was triggered;
CIRCLE: means an exit trade signal was fired;
Hovering the mouse over the trade labels will reveal:
Asset Quantity;
Entry/Exit Prices;
Stops & Targets;
Trade Profit;
Profit As Percentage Of Trade Volume;
**Please note that there's a limit as to how many labels can be drawn on the chart at once.**
If you which to see labels from the beginning of the chart, you'll probably need to use the replay feature.
PERFORMANCE TABLE:
The performance table displays several performance metrics to evaluate the strategy.
All the performance metrics here are calculated by the framework. It does not uses the oficial pine script strategy tester.
All metrics are calculated in real time. If using the replay feature, they will be updated up to the last played bar.
Here are the available metrics and their definition:
INITIAL EQUITY: the initial amount of money we had when the strategy started, obviously...;
CURRENT EQUITY: the amount of money we have now. If using the replay feature, it will show the current equity up to the last bar played. The number on it's right side shows how many times our equity has been multiplied from it's initial value;
TRADE COUNT: how many trades were taken;
WIN COUNT: how many of those trades were wins. The percentage at the right side is the strategy WIN RATE;
AVG GAIN PER TRADE: the average percentage gain per trade. Very small values can indicate a fragile strategy that can behave in unexpected ways under high volatility conditions;
AVG GAIN PER WIN: the average percentage gain of trades that were profitable;
AVG GAIN PER LOSS: the average percentage loss on trades that were not profitable;
EQUITY MAX DD: the maximum drawdown experienced by our equity during the entire strategy backtest;
TRADE MAX DD: the maximum drawdown experienced by our equity after one single trade;
AVG MONTHLY RETURN: the compound monthly return that our strategy was able to create during the backtested period;
AVG ANNUAL RETURN: this is the strategy's CAGR (compound annual growth rate);
ELAPSED MONTHS: number of months since the backtest started;
RISK/REWARD RATIO: shows how profitable the strategy is for the amount of risk it takes. Values above 1 are very good (and rare). This is calculated as follows: (Avg Annual Return) / mod(Equity Max DD). Where mod() is the same as math.abs();
AVAILABLE SETTINGS:
SPREAD: specify your broker's asset spread
ENABLE LONGS / SHORTS: you can keep both enable or chose to take trades in only one direction
MINIMUM BARS CLOSED: to avoid trading before indicators such as a slow moving average have had time to populate, you can manually set the number of bars to wait before allowing trades.
INITIAL EQUITY: you can specify your starting equity
EXPOSURE: is the percentage of equity you wish to risk per trade. When using stops, the strategy will automatically calculate your position size to match the exposure with the stop distance. If you are not using stops then your trade volume will be the percentage of equity specified here. 100 means you'll enter trades with all your equity and 200 means you'll use a 2x leverage.
MAX LEVERAGE ALLOWED: In some situations a short stop distance can create huge levels of leverage. If you want to limit leverage to a maximum value you can set it here.
SEVERAL PLOTTING OPTIONS: You'll be able to specify which of the framework visuals you wish to see drawn on the chart.
FRAMEWORK **LIMITATIONS**:
When stop and target are both triggered in the same candle, this framework isn't able to enter faster timeframes to check which one was triggered first, so it will take the pessimistic assumption and annul the take profit signal;
This framework doesn't support pyramiding;
This framework doesn't support both long and short positions to be active at the same time. So for example, if a short signal is received while a long trade is open, the framework will close the long trade and then open a short trade;
FINAL CONSIDERATIONS:
I've been using this framework for a good time and I find it's better to use and easier to analyze a strategy's performance then relying on the oficial pine script strategy tester. However, I CANNOT GUARANTEE IT TO BE BUG FREE.
**PLEASE PERFORM A MANUAL BACKTEST BEFORE USING ANY STRATEGY WITH REAL MONEY**
Charan_Trading_IndicatorCharan_Trading_Indicator Overview:
The Charan_Trading_Indicator combines several technical analysis tools, including Bollinger Bands, RSI (Relative Strength Index), VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price), and ATR (Average True Range), to provide buy and sell signals. The script incorporates multiple strategies, such as crack snap setups, overbought/oversold levels, and trend continuation indicators, all tailored for precise market entry and exit points.
Key Components:
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
The indicator uses RSI to detect overbought (RSI > 70) and oversold (RSI < 30) market conditions.
Alerts are triggered when prices are within the specified buy/sell range and RSI crosses these thresholds.
Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands are calculated based on a configurable moving average and standard deviation.
The script identifies potential buy signals when the price dips below the lower Bollinger Band and recovers, and sell signals when the price exceeds the upper Bollinger Band and retraces.
Crack Snap Strategies:
The indicator incorporates multiple variations of the crack snap strategy:
Buy Signals: Triggered when price opens below the lower Bollinger Band and closes above it, alongside certain conditions in previous candles.
Sell Signals: Triggered when price opens above the upper Bollinger Band and closes below it, with similar candle patterns.
Variations such as 3-candle (3C) and 4-candle (4C) versions refine the crack snap setups for more robust signals.
Isolated Candle Conditions:
The indicator tracks isolated candles, where the entire candle lies above or below the Bollinger Bands, to identify potential reversal points.
Trend Continuation Signals:
Conditions based on the candle range and previous highs/lows allow the indicator to generate signals for trend continuation:
Buy signals when price breaks above the previous two highs.
Sell signals when price breaks below the previous two lows.
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price):
The indicator integrates VWAP to give additional support and resistance levels, ensuring signals align with volume trends.
ATR-Based Stop Loss:
For both buy and sell conditions, the script plots stop-loss levels based on the ATR (Average True Range), giving dynamic risk management levels.
Buy/Sell Ranges:
The user can set minimum and maximum price ranges for buy and sell signals, ensuring that the indicator only generates alerts within desired price ranges.
How It Works:
Buy Signals: The script generates buy signals based on multiple conditions, including the crack snap strategy, oversold RSI levels, and trend continuation setups. When these conditions are met, green triangles appear below the price bars, and an alert is triggered.
Sell Signals: Sell signals are triggered when the opposite conditions are met (overbought RSI, crack snap sell setups, trend breaks), and red triangles appear above the price bars.
Visual Indicators: The script plots upper and lower Bollinger Bands, stop loss levels, and VWAP on the chart, providing a comprehensive view of market conditions and support/resistance levels.
This indicator is versatile, combining multiple technical tools for robust decision-making in trading. It generates alerts, plots visual markers, and integrates risk management, making it a well-rounded tool for technical analysis.

Yesterday's Levels with 50% wick and Equilibrium## Script Description
This Pine Script indicator highlights key levels from the previous day’s daily candle on any timeframe chart. It focuses exclusively on marking the following:
1. **Previous Day’s High, Low, Open, and Close**:
- Horizontal lines are drawn to indicate the previous day's high, low, open, and close prices.
- These lines are white and extend across the chart.
2. **50% of Candle Wicks**:
- If the previous day’s candle has wicks, two additional lines mark 50% of the top wick and 50% of the bottom wick.
- These lines are green and dotted, representing half the wick’s height.
3. **Equilibrium (50% of the Full Candle)**:
- A horizontal red line marks the midpoint (equilibrium) of the entire previous day’s candle, from high to low.
- This line is thicker than the others to emphasize the equilibrium level.
The script works by focusing only on the previous day’s daily candle, ensuring that it doesn’t plot lines for any older candles. These levels are visible on all timeframes.
ICT HTF FVGs v2 (fadi)NOTICE: Instead of updating the existing ICT HTF FVGs indicator, this indicator is being published separately due to the requests to keep the original by some traders and because of the drastic change in behavior/configurations. If the original v1 version is more appropriate for your style of trading, feel free to continue to use it.
ICT HTF FVGs v2
In trading, Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) refer to market inefficiencies or imbalances that occur when buying and selling activities are not equal. These gaps can be identified on various timeframes and are used in different trading strategies.
FVGs are crucial in price action trading as they highlight the difference between the current market price of an asset and its fair value. Traders use these gaps to identify potential trading opportunities, as they often indicate areas where the market may correct itself
This indicator will overlap the higher timeframe (HTF) FVGS over the current timeframe to help traders anticipate and plan their trades.
Features
Up to 6 higher timeframes (HTF) can be overlayed on a chart
Traders can limit the number of HTF FVGs to preset number of HTFs
Lower and current timeframes can be included
Configurable spacing of HTF FVGs to prevent overlapping
Configurable Smart Expansion of FVGs based on proximity to current price
Traders can decide what constitutes a Mitigated FVG
Show or hide mitigated FVGs to declutter the chart
Flexible display settings that controls how the FVGs are displayed
Flexible labeling of the FVG levels and content
Higher Timeframes Display Settings
This indicator provides the ability to select up to 6 HTF intervals. These intervals are based on the trader's timeframes including any custom timeframes.
Timeframe Configurations
Enable or Disable a Timeframe
The Timeframe to Display
Bullish / BISI FVG Color
Bearish / SIBI FVG Color
The number of FVGs For The Selected Timeframe
Limit to the next HTFs only can be used to display the selected number of HTF FVGs. For example, if the trader selects 3 then only 3 HTF FVGs will be displayed.
Note: If either of the next two options is selected, they will take up spots from this count.
Hide lower Timeframes restricts the FVGs to higher timeframes only. If this option is disabled, it will show lower timeframes FVGs as well.
Hide Current Timeframe removes current timeframe from the selected list of HTF FVGs. If this option is disabled, it will show current timeframe FVGs as well.
Background Transparency Enable or disable the background color (shaded area) of the FVG. If it is enabled, it will set the transparency amount. The higher the value, the more transparent the background.
Extend lines controls when and how to extend the FVG levels. There are three options:
Extension Only extends the FVGs by the specified number provided below only.
Current Candle Plus Extension extends all the FVGs beyond the current candle by the number provided below.
When in Range will only extend the FVGs near current price based on the advanced settings below. This setting will use Average True Range multiplier to calculate the range (shows FVGs that are higher or lower by the average candle size multiplied by the number in Advanced section).
Mitigated shows or hides the mitigated HTF FVGs. A FVG is considered mitigated based on one of the following options:
None will ignore mitigation and show all FVGs.
Touched when a HTF FVG is touched regardless of how deep the price get inside the FVG.
Wick filled the FVG is closed by a wick or body of a candle.
Body filled the FVG is closed by the body of a candle
Wick filled half a candle's wick or body has reached the C.E. of the FVG
Body filled half a candle body has reached the C.E. of the FVG
Extend mitigated lines sets the number of candles to extend the mitigated FVG levels by for better visibility.
Important Note: Mitigation is calculated based on the timeframe of the FVG, not current timeframe.
Display
Display settings focus on how the FVGs will be displayed. The trader is in total control and there are multiple ways to overlay FVGs on the chart.
Open / Close / C.E. / Link controls the borders. Traders can enable or disable any of them as well as set the thickness and style. Link is the right border.
C.E. also offers the option of setting the bullish (BISI) and bearish (SIBI) colors of the C.E. level
Labeling controls if the labels should be displayed next to the FVG, their color, background, and font size.
Label levels to display controls which levels to show. Open, High. or the C.E.
Label display content controls what to show in the labels, the timeframe of the label, is it a BISI or a SIBI, and a label to indicate if it is the Open or the Close.
Note: if the distance between the open and close has the potential of overlapping the labels, then the indicator will only show the C.E. label for visual clarity.
Advanced Settings
Advanced settings controls some internal calculations:
Proximity factor based on daily range used to calculate possible range of FVGs within a day's range to keep the chart clean. The higher the value, the more FVGs will be shown.
Combine labels factor for visibility used to calculate the distance between the open and close and if all the labels or only the C.E. should be displayed. The higher the value, the bigger the distance for combination (smaller numbers will show more labels).
Range should be within X candles used when "When in Range" option is selected. This is the ATR multiplier used to extend the FVGs. The higher the number, the more FVGs will be extended.
Once desired settings have been achieved, the settings can be saved as default from the bottom left of the indicator settings page for future use.
Hull MA with Alerts and LabelsThis script is designed to help traders visually track market trends using various types of moving averages (MAs) and to receive alerts when certain conditions are met. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how the script works:
1. User Inputs and Customization:
MA Length: Traders can define the length of the moving average (default is 100).
Confirmation Candles: The trader can specify how many candles must confirm a trend before the script triggers a signal (default is 1).
MA Variation: The trader can choose between different moving average types: Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Weighted Moving Average (WMA), or Hull Moving Average (HMA).
Source: Traders select the price source for the moving average calculation (e.g., close price).
Ribbon Transparency: Allows control over the transparency level of the ribbon plotted between the moving averages.
Bullish/Bearish Ribbon Colors: The user can choose the colors for bullish and bearish trends.
2. Moving Average Calculations:
The script provides multiple options for calculating moving averages:
SMA (Simple Moving Average)
EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
WMA (Weighted Moving Average)
HMA (Hull Moving Average)
For the Hull Moving Average (HMA), it uses a specific formula that smoothens the movement and reduces lag, which is helpful for more reactive trend detection.
3. Plotting Moving Averages and Trend Ribbon:
The script calculates two key moving averages:
MHULL: The main moving average, selected based on the user’s chosen MA variation and source.
SHULL: A shifted version of the MHULL to help compare trends (shifted by 2 bars).
These two moving averages are plotted on the chart for visualization. MHULL is plotted in green (or another color if changed), while SHULL is plotted in red. A ribbon is drawn between MHULL and SHULL to indicate trends visually. The ribbon changes color depending on whether the trend is bullish (MHULL > SHULL) or bearish (MHULL < SHULL). The ribbon’s transparency can be adjusted for visual clarity.
4. Trend Detection:
Bullish Trend: The script checks if the price has closed above MHULL for the defined number of confirmation candles. If confirmed, a bullish trend is detected.
Bearish Trend: Similarly, the script checks if the price has closed below SHULL for the confirmation period, indicating a bearish trend.
The script tracks whether the market is in a bullish or bearish trend and prevents repeated signals by remembering the current trend state.
5. Alerts and Labels:
Bullish Alerts and Labels: When a confirmed bullish trend is detected (i.e., price closes above MHULL for the entire confirmation period and MHULL > SHULL), the script triggers an alert notifying the trader of the bullish condition. A "BULLISH" label is placed on the chart near the low of the candle where the trend was confirmed.
Bearish Alerts and Labels: If a confirmed bearish trend is detected (i.e., price closes below SHULL for the confirmation period and MHULL < SHULL), the script triggers an alert for the bearish condition. A "BEARISH" label is placed on the chart near the high of the candle where the trend was confirmed.
These alerts and labels help traders act quickly on trend changes and align their trading strategy with market conditions.
6. Practical Use for Traders:
For traders, this script offers:
Customizability : It allows traders to define the length and type of moving averages, choose price sources, and control how signals are confirmed.
Visual Trend Representation : The plotted MA lines and colored ribbons help traders easily see market direction.
Early Warnings : With alerts and labels, the script gives traders early signals when trends are shifting, allowing them to adjust positions accordingly.
Trend Confirmation : The script waits for a user-defined number of confirmation candles before signaling a new trend, reducing false signals.
Overall, the script helps traders automate their strategy by tracking moving averages and alerting them when key trend conditions are met.

Prometheus Trend LinesPrometheus Trend lines is a tool that automatically plots support and resistance trend lines on your chart. These lines generally come out looking like triangles or wedges.
There are two ways that we do it, the first way we’ll cover is lookback period generated trend lines.
The two points for the lines are generated as follows, for a resistance line that is blue by default, the point furthest in the past is the highest high in the specified lookback period. 50 is the default, the point closest to the present is the current bar’s high. The opposite is true for support lines, the point furthest in the past is the lowest low, and the most present point is the current bar’s low.
The interval is created by ensuring after the lookback period is met to plot the lines, that period needs to pass again. That is so we can let the potential results of price breaking above or below the levels play out.
Lines will be plotted on the newest lookback period bar, after a period with no plot. What I mean is right after lines are plotted, users will have to wait for double the lookback period to get newer lines. So if you select 50 for your lookback value, after new lines are plotted, on the 100th bar after the new lines will be there. This is to avoid having a line on your chart change, we’d rather plot a line once, than plot it and keep changing it.
Each line is 50 bars long and all the distance in between them is 50 bars. The line is drawn simply with the shortest path from the back point to the more present one, this allows us to see breaks in the line and get a better idea of how strong the next move may be.
We see in this wedge on NASDAQ:TSLA that there were two false breaks before the price re-entered the wedge and continued falling. It could be interpreted as buyers did not have enough strength to get NASDAQ:TSLA out of a downtrend there.
We also offer an intra day line.
In this image captured with the bar replay feature we see the lines being generated with the high and low of the day, that is the method we use. Furthermore, a user may notice that the ends of the line are not at the newest bar. That is on purpose, we use the
barstate.islastconfirmedhistory
to ensure that we don’t change and plot too many lines at a given point. These two lines will reset every day as time changes and will auto use the current day high and low.
Users have the option to select a custom lookback period, as well as turn on or off the plots for either method of generating lines.
We encourage traders to not follow indicators blindly, none are 100% accurate. The lines generated are not guaranteed to be perfect support and resistance levels. We encourage the use of discretion. Please comment on any desired updates, all criticism is welcome!
200 MAPD - Relative Price with candlesticks and divergenceThis is a MAPD (moving average percent difference) indicator that plots the results in candlestick format and with an option to show divergencies of a specific look back period. It's built with 200 moving average, which cannot be adjusted. A divergence is when the actual asset price moves in the opposite direction than the MAPD.
MAPD measures the percent difference of the asset price from the moving average, in this case, 200 moving average.
MAPD is my favorite indicator because it's an leading indicator, capable of predicting upcoming directions pretty accurately if you learn how to use it and how it works on your specific asset. With candlesticks instead of line you can also apply your own price action techniques.
I created this to be somewhat of a substitute for the actual price of the asset, meaning that price action analysis should be applied on this indicator and asset price is used as a secondary to spot divergencies.
The chart showing on this description is my own discretionary plotting of technical aspects. Divergencies will be enabled per default, but my preference is to have them off and plot my own analysis. And turn them on to get an overview from time to time. You can also change the look back period for the divergencies as you like.
I would say it works best from 1 hour to 1 day, maybe 1 week if you're bottom fishing in a big bear trend.
If you try it out and like it i would love to hear how you find it useful in the comments, will be helpful for me and others :)
Outside CandleThis script aims to detect the Outside Candle pattern, which is a candle that has a higher high and a lower low compared to the previous candle.
Larry Connors 3 Day High/Low StrategyThe Larry Connors 3 Day High/Low Strategy is a short-term mean-reversion trading strategy that is designed to identify potential buying opportunities when a security is oversold. This strategy is based on the principles developed by Larry Connors, a well-known trading system developer and author.
Key Strategy Elements:
1. Trend Confirmation: The strategy first confirms that the security is in a long-term uptrend by ensuring that the closing price is above the 200-day moving average (condition1). This rule helps filter trades to align with the longer-term trend.
2. Short-Term Pullback: The strategy looks for a short-term pullback by ensuring that the closing price is below the 5-day moving average (condition2). This identifies potential entry points when the price temporarily moves against the longer-term trend.
3. Three Consecutive Lower Highs and Lows:
• The high and low two days ago are lower than those of the day before (condition3).
• The high and low yesterday are lower than those of two days ago (condition4).
• Today’s high and low are lower than yesterday’s (condition5).
These conditions are used to identify a sequence of declining highs and lows, signaling a short-term pullback or oversold condition in the context of an overall uptrend.
4. Entry and Exit Signals:
• Buy Signal: A buy order is triggered when all the above conditions are met (buyCondition).
• Sell Signal: A sell order is executed when the closing price is above the 5-day moving average (sellCondition), indicating that the pullback might be ending.
Risks of the Strategy
1. Mean Reversion Failure: This strategy relies on the assumption that prices will revert to the mean after a short-term pullback. In strong downtrends or during market crashes, prices may continue to decline, leading to significant losses.
2. Whipsaws and False Signals: The strategy may generate false signals, especially in choppy or sideways markets where the price does not follow a clear trend. This can lead to frequent small losses that can add up over time.
3. Dependence on Historical Patterns: The strategy is based on historical price patterns, which do not always predict future price movements accurately. Sudden market news or economic changes can disrupt the pattern.
4. Lack of Risk Management: The strategy as written does not include stop losses or position sizing rules, which can expose traders to larger-than-expected losses if conditions change rapidly.

123 Reversal Trading StrategyThe 123 Reversal Trading Strategy is a technical analysis approach that seeks to identify potential reversal points in the market by analyzing price patterns. This Pine Script™ code implements a version of this strategy, and here’s a detailed description:
Strategy Overview
Objective: The strategy aims to identify bullish reversal patterns using the 123 pattern and manage trades with a specified holding period and a 20-day moving average as an additional exit condition.
Key Components:
Holding Period: The number of days to hold a trade is adjustable, with the default set to 7 days.
Moving Average: A 200-day simple moving average (SMA) is used to determine an exitcondition based on the price crossing this average.
Pattern Recognition:
Condition 1: The low of the current day must be lower than the low of the previous day.
Condition 2: The low of the previous day must be lower than the low from three days ago.
Condition 3: The low two days ago must be lower than the low from four days ago.
Condition 4: The high two days ago must be lower than the high three days ago.
Entry Condition: All four conditions must be met for a buy signal.
Exit Condition: The position is closed either after the specified holding period or when the price reaches or exceeds the 200-day moving average.
Relevant Literature
Graham, B., & Dodd, D. L. (1934). Security Analysis. This classic work introduces fundamental analysis and technical analysis principles which are foundational to understanding patterns like the 123 reversal.
Murphy, J. J. (1999). Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets. Murphy provides an extensive overview of technical indicators and chart patterns, including reversal patterns similar to the 123 pattern.
Elder, A. (1993). Trading for a Living. Elder discusses various trading strategies and technical analysis techniques that complement the understanding of reversal patterns and their application in trading.
Risks and Considerations
Pattern Reliability: The 123 reversal pattern, like many technical patterns, is not foolproof. It can generate false signals, especially in volatile or trending markets. This may lead to losses if the pattern does not play out as expected.
Market Conditions: The strategy may perform differently under various market conditions. In strongly trending markets, reversal patterns might not be as reliable.
Lagging Indicators: The use of the 200-day moving average as an exit condition can be considered a lagging indicator. This means it reacts to price movements with a delay, which might result in late exits and missed profit opportunities.
Holding Period: The fixed holding period of 7 days may not be optimal for all market conditions or stocks. It is essential to adjust the holding period based on market dynamics and individual stock behavior.
Overfitting: The parameters used (like the number of days and moving average length) are set based on historical data. Overfitting can occur if these parameters are tailored too specifically to past data, leading to reduced performance in future scenarios.
Conclusion
The 123 Reversal Trading Strategy is designed to identify potential market reversals using specific conditions related to price lows and highs. While it offers a structured approach to trading, it is essential to be aware of its limitations and potential risks. As with any trading strategy, it should be tested thoroughly in various market conditions and adjusted according to the individual trading style and risk tolerance.

Price Action Volumetric Order Blocks [UAlgo]"Price Action Volumetric Order Blocks" indicator aims to identify significant price zones in the market based on a combination of price action and volume analysis. It utilizes the concept of "Order Blocks," which are areas on the chart where large orders are believed to have been placed, influencing price behavior. By analyzing price swings and volume activity, the indicator attempts to highlight potential support and resistance levels.
🔶 Key Features
Swing Length: This input allows you to adjust the timeframe used to identify price swings for order block detection. A longer swing length will focus on larger timeframes and potentially capture stronger order blocks.
Show Last X Order Blocks: This controls the number of order blocks displayed on the chart. You can choose to visualize a specific number of the most recent order blocks.
Violation Check: This setting determines how the indicator identifies potential order block violations. You can choose between "Wick" or "Close" violations. A "Wick" violation occurs when the price (wick) extends beyond the order block boundaries, while a "Close" violation signifies that the closing price breaches the order block.
Hide Overlap: This option allows you to manage the display of overlapping order blocks. If set to "True," only non-overlapping order blocks will be shown, potentially offering a clearer visualization.
Colors: You can customize the color scheme for bullish (upward) and bearish (downward) order blocks to enhance visual clarity on the chart.
🔶 Interpreting the Indicator
Order Blocks: The teal-colored boxes represent bullish order blocks, indicating areas of demand where buying pressure is likely to be strong. Red-colored boxes represent bearish order blocks, indicating areas of supply where selling pressure is likely to be dominant. These zones often signal potential reversal points or consolidation areas.
Strength Calculations: The indicator calculates the relative strength of bullish and bearish blocks based on volume. A higher bullish strength indicates stronger buying pressure, while higher bearish strength suggests more selling pressure. Traders can use this information to gauge the strength of a price level and predict future price movements.
Market Structure Lines: The indicator displays horizontal lines to depict the current market structure, labeled as "MSB" (Market Sell Balance) or "BOS" (Break of Structure). These lines can help visualize the prevailing trend direction.
Order Block Violations: When a price wick or close breaches an order block (depending on the chosen violation type), the corresponding order block visualization is removed from the chart. This can signify a potential weakening of the identified support or resistance zone.
🔶 Disclaimer
Use with Caution: This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered as financial advice. Users should exercise caution and perform their own analysis before making trading decisions based on the indicator's signals.
Not Financial Advice: The information provided by this indicator does not constitute financial advice, and the creator (UAlgo) shall not be held responsible for any trading losses incurred as a result of using this indicator.
Backtesting Recommended: Traders are encouraged to backtest the indicator thoroughly on historical data before using it in live trading to assess its performance and suitability for their trading strategies.
Risk Management: Trading involves inherent risks, and users should implement proper risk management strategies, including but not limited to stop-loss orders and position sizing, to mitigate potential losses.
No Guarantees: The accuracy and reliability of the indicator's signals cannot be guaranteed, as they are based on historical price data and past performance may not be indicative of future results.
Trend/with EMA382Introduction to the "Trend/with EMA382" Indicator
The "Trend/with EMA382" indicator is a powerful technical analysis tool that combines trend signals with Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), offering traders a comprehensive view of market dynamics and helping identify potential trading opportunities.
1. Trend Analysis with Trend
The first part of this indicator uses a trend calculation algorithm based on the recent market highs and lows. These levels are used to determine the primary trend:
Bullish (Uptrend): When the market is in an uptrend, the chart will display buy signals in green.
Bearish (Downtrend): When the market is trending down, sell signals are shown in red.
The crossover points between price and trend levels will indicate buy or sell signals on the chart, enabling traders to easily spot entry and exit points.
2. Combination with EMA382
