IsAlgo - CandleWave Channel Strategy► Overview:
The CandleWave Channel Strategy uses an exponential moving average (EMA) combined with a custom true range function to dynamically calculate a multi-level price channel, helping traders identify potential trend reversals and price pullbacks.
► Description:
The CandleWave Channel Strategy is built around an EMA designed to identify potential reversal points in the market. The channel’s main points are calculated using this EMA, which serves as the foundation for the strategy’s dynamic price channel. The channel edges are determined using a proprietary true range function that measures the distance between the highs and lows of price movements over a specific period. By factoring in the maximum distance between highs and lows and averaging these values over the period, the strategy creates a responsive channel that adapts to current market conditions. The channel consists of five levels, each representing different degrees of trend tension.
The strategy continuously monitors the price in relation to the channel edges. When a candle closes outside one of these edges, it indicates a potential price reversal. This outside-close candle acts as a signal for a possible trend change, prompting the strategy to prepare for a trade entry. Upon detecting an outside-close candle, the strategy triggers an entry. The logic behind this is that when the price moves outside the defined channel, it is likely to revert back within the channel and move towards the opposite edge. The strategy aims to capitalize on this reversion by entering trades based on these signals.
Traders can adjust the channel’s length, levels, and minimum distance to tailor it to different market conditions. They can also define the characteristics of the entry candle, such as its size, body, and relative position to previous candles, to ensure it meets specific conditions before triggering a trade. Additionally, the strategy permits the specification of trading hours and days, enabling traders to focus on preferred market periods. Exit can be configured based on profit/loss limits, trade duration, and band reversal signals or other criteria.
How it Works:
Channel Calculation: The strategy continuously updates the channel edges using the EMA and true range function.
Signal Detection: It waits for a candle to close outside the channel edges.
Trade Entry: When an outside-close candle is detected, the strategy enters a trade expecting the price to revert to the opposite channel edge.
Customization: Users can define the characteristics of the entry candle, such as its size relative to previous candles, to ensure it meets specific conditions before triggering a trade.
↑ Long Trade Example:
The entry candle closes below the channel level, indicating a potential upward reversal. The strategy enters a long position expecting the price to move towards the upper levels.
↓ Short Trade Example:
The entry candle closes above the channel level, signaling a potential downward reversal. The strategy enters a short position anticipating the price to revert towards the lower levels.
► Features and Settings:
⚙︎ Channel: Adjust the channel’s length, levels, and minimum distance to suit different market conditions and trading styles.
⚙︎ Entry Candle: Customize entry criteria, including candle size, body, and relative position to previous candles for accurate signal generation.
⚙︎ Trading Session: Define specific trading hours during which the strategy operates, restricting trades to preferred market periods.
⚙︎ Trading Days: Specify active trading days to avoid certain days of the week.
⚙︎ Backtesting: backtesting for a selected period to evaluate strategy performance. This feature can be deactivated if not needed.
⚙︎ Trades: Configure trade direction (long, short, or both), position sizing (fixed or percentage-based), maximum number of open trades, and daily trade limits.
⚙︎ Trades Exit: Set profit/loss limits, specify trade duration, or exit based on band reversal signals.
⚙︎ Stop Loss: Choose from various stop-loss methods, including fixed pips, ATR-based, or highest/lowest price points within a specified number of candles. Trades can also be closed after a certain number of adverse candle movements.
⚙︎ Break Even: Adjust stop loss to break even once predefined profit levels are reached, protecting gains.
⚙︎ Trailing Stop: Implement a trailing stop to adjust the stop loss as the trade becomes profitable, securing gains and potentially capturing further upside.
⚙︎ Take Profit: Set up to three take-profit levels using methods such as fixed pips, ATR, or risk-to-reward ratios. Alternatively, specify a set number of candles moving in the trade’s direction.
⚙︎ Alerts: Comprehensive alert system to notify users of significant actions, including trade openings and closings. Supports dynamic placeholders for take-profit levels and stop-loss prices.
⚙︎ Dashboard: Visual display on the chart providing detailed information about ongoing and past trades, aiding users in monitoring strategy performance and making informed decisions.

ACD Indicator [TradingFinder] M Fisher Pivots Methodology Signal🔵 Introduction
The book "The Logical Trader" begins with a comprehensive review of the ACD Methodology principles, which include identifying specific price points related to the opening range.
This method allows you to set reference points for trading and use points "A" and "C" for trade entry. You will also learn about the "Pivot Range" and how to combine them with the ACD method to maximize position size and minimize risk.
In this indicator, the strategy is implemented to make it easier to use.
🔵 How to Use
The "ACD" strategy can be applied to various markets such as stocks, commodities, or forex, providing buy and sell signals that allow you to set your price targets and stop losses.
This strategy is based on the assumption that the opening range of trades is statistically significant each day, meaning the initial market fluctuations influence the market until the end of the day.
The ACD trading strategy is known as a breakout strategy and performs best in volatile or strongly trending markets, such as crude oil and stocks.
Some of the rules for using the ACD strategy include the following :
Consider points A and C as reference points and continuously pay attention to these points during trades. These points serve as entry and exit points for trades.
Examine daily and multi-day pivot ranges to analyze market trends. If the price is above the pivots, the trend is upward, and if below the pivots, the trend is downward.
Trading with the ACD strategy in forex is possible using the ACD indicator. This indicator is a technical tool used to measure the balance between supply and demand in the market. By analyzing trading volume and price, this indicator helps traders identify trend strength and suitable entry and exit points.
To use the ACD indicator, consider the following :
Identifying strong trends: The ACD indicator can help you identify strong and stable trends in the market.
Determining entry and exit points: ACD provides buy and sell signals to enter or exit trades at the best possible time.
Bullish Setup :
When the "A up" line is broken, it is advisable to wait for some time to ensure that this is not a "Fake Breakout" and that the price stabilizes above this line.
After entering the trade, the best stop loss you can choose is below the "A down" line. However, it is recommended to test this in backtests to achieve the best results. The suitable reward-to-risk ratio for this strategy is 1, which should also be backtested.
Bearish Setup :
When the "A down" line is broken, it is advisable to wait for some time to ensure that this is not a "Fake Breakout" and that the price stabilizes below this line.
After entering the trade, the best stop loss you can choose is above the "A up" line. However, it is recommended to test this in backtests to achieve the best results. The suitable reward-to-risk ratio for this strategy is 1, which should also be backtested.
🔵 Setting

ICT Turtle Soup | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ICT Turtle Soup Indicator! This indicator is built around the ICT "Turtle Soup" model. The strategy has 5 steps for execution which are described in this write-up. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new ICT Turtle Soup Indicator :
Implementation of ICT's Turtle Soup Strategy
Adaptive Entry Method
Customizable Execution Settings
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The ICT Turtle Soup strategy may have different implementations depending on the selected method of the trader. This indicator's implementation is described as :
1. Mark higher timerame liquidity zones.
Liquidity zones are where a lot of market orders sit in the chart. They are usually formed from the long / short position holders' "liquidity" levels. There are various ways to find them, most common one being drawing them on the latest high & low pivot points in the chart, which this indicator does.
2. Mark current timeframe market structure.
The market structure is the current flow of the market. It tells you if the market is trending right now, and the way it's trending towards. It's formed from swing higs, swing lows and support / resistance levels.
3. Wait for market to make a liquidity grab on the higher timeframe liquidity zone.
A liquidity grab is when the marked liquidity zones have a false breakout, which means that it gets broken for a brief amount of time, but then price falls back to it's previous position.
4. Buyside liquidity grabs are "Short" entries and Sellside liquidity grabs are "Long" entries by default.
5. Wait for the market-structure shift in the current timeframe for entry confirmation.
A market-structure shift happens when the current market structure changes, usually when a new swing high / swing low is formed. This indicator uses it as a confirmation for position entry as it gives an insight of the new trend of the market.
6. Place Take-Profit and Stop-Loss levels according to the risk ratio.
This indicator uses "Average True Range" when placing the stop-loss & take-profit levels. Average True Range calculates the average size of a candle and the indicator places the stop-loss level using ATR times the risk setting determined by the user, then places the take-profit level trying to keep a minimum of 1:1 risk-reward ratio.
This indicator follows these steps and inform you step by step by plotting them in your chart.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator is an all-in-one suit for the ICT's Turtle Soup concept. It's capable of plotting the strategy, giving signals, a backtesting dashboard and alerts feature. It's designed for simplyfing a rather complex strategy, helping you to execute it with clean signals. The backtesting dashboard allows you to see how your settings perform in the current ticker. You can also set up alerts to get informed when the strategy is executable for different tickers.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
MSS Swing Length -> The swing length when finding liquidity zones for market structure-shift detection.
Higher Timeframe -> The higher timeframe to look for liquidity grabs. This timeframe setting must be higher than the current chart's timeframe for the indicator to work.
Breakout Method -> If "Wick" is selected, a bar wick will be enough to confirm a market structure-shift. If "Close" is selected, the bar must close above / below the liquidity zone to confirm a market structure-shift.
Entry Method ->
"Classic" : Works as described on the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
"Adaptive" : When "Adaptive" is selected, the entry conditions may chance depending on the current performance of the indicator. It saves the entry conditions and the performance of the past entries, then for the new entries it checks if it predicted the liquidity grabs correctly with the current setup, if so, continues with the same logic. If not, it changes behaviour to reverse the entries from long / short to short / long.
2. TP / SL
TP / SL Method -> If "Fixed" is selected, you can adjust the TP / SL ratios from the settings below. If "Dynamic" is selected, the TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm.
Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.
Depth of Market (DOM) [LuxAlgo]The Depth Of Market (DOM) tool allows traders to look under the hood of any market, taking price and volume analysis to the next level. The following features are included: DOM, Time & Sales, Volume Profile, Depth of Market, Imbalances, Buying Pressure, and up to 24 key intraday levels (it really packs a punch).
As a disclaimer, this tool does not use tick data, it is a DOM reconstruction from the provided real-time time series data (price and volume). So the volume you see is from filled orders only, this tool does not show unfilled limit orders.
Traders can enable or disable any of the features at will to avoid being overwhelmed with too much information and to make the tool perform faster.
The features that have the biggest impact on performance are Historical Data Collection, Key Levels (POC & VWAP), Time & Sales, Profile, and Imbalances. Disable these features to improve the indicator computational performance.
🔶 DOM
This is the simplest form of the tool, a simple DOM or ladder that displays the following columns:
PRICE: Price level
BID: Total number of market sell orders filled or limit buy orders filled.
SELL: Sell market orders
BUY: Buy market orders
ASK: Total number of market buy orders filled or limit sell orders filled.
The DOM only collects historical data from the last 24 hours and real-time data.
Traders can select a reset period for the DOM with two options:
DAILY: Resets at the beginning of each trading day
SESSIONS: Resets twice, as DAILY and 15.5 hours later, to coincide with the start of the RTH session for US tickers.
The DOM has two main modes, it can display price levels as ticks or points. The default is automatic based on the current daily volatility, but traders can manually force one mode or the other if they wish.
For convenience, traders have the option to set the number of lines (price levels), and the size of the text and to display only real-time data.
By default, the top price is set to 0 so that the DOM automatically adjusts the price levels to be displayed, but traders can set the top price manually so that the tool displays only the desired price levels in a fixed manner.
🔹 Volume Profile
As additional features to the basic DOM, traders have access to the volume profile histogram and the total volume per price level.
This helps traders identify at a glance key price areas where volume is accumulating (high volume nodes) or areas where volume is lacking (low volume nodes) - these areas are important to some traders who base their decision-making process on them.
🔹 Imbalances
Other added features are imbalances and buying pressure:
Interlevel Imbalance: volume delta between two different price levels
Intralevel Imbalance: delta between buy and sell volume at the same price level
Buying Pressure Percent: percentage of buy volume compared to total volume
Imbalances can help traders identify areas of interest in the price for possible support or resistance.
🔹 Depth
Depth allows traders to see at a glance how much supply is above the current price level or how much demand is below the current price level.
Above the current price level shows the cumulative ask volume (filled sell limit orders) and below the current price level shows the cumulative bid volume (filled buy limit orders).
🔶 KEY LEVELS
The tool includes up to 24 different key intraday levels of particular relevance:
Previous Week Levels
PWH: Previous week high
PWL: Previous week low
PWM: Previous week middle
PWS: Previous week settlement (close)
Previous Day Levels
PDH: Previous day high
PDL: Previous day low
PDM: Previous day middle
PDS: Previous day settlement (close)
Current Day Levels
OPEN: Open of day (or session)
HOD: High of day (or session)
LOD: Low of day (or session)
MOD: Middle of day (or session)
Opening Range
ORH: Open range high
ORL: Open range low
Initial Balance
IBH: Initial balance high
IBL: Initial balance low
VWAP
+3SD: Volume weighted average price plus 3 standard deviations
+2SD: Volume weighted average price plus 2 standard deviations
+1SD: Volume weighted average price plus 1 standard deviation
VWAP: Volume weighted average price
-1SD: Volume weighted average price minus 1 standard deviation
-2SD: Volume weighted average price minus 2 standard deviations
-3SD: Volume weighted average price minus 3 standard deviations
POC: Point of control
Different traders look at different levels, the key levels shown here are objective and specific areas of interest that traders can act on, providing us with potential areas of support or resistance in the price.
🔶 TIME & SALES
The tool also features a full-time and sales panel with time, price, and size columns, a size filter, and the ability to set the timezone to display time in the trader's local time.
The information shown here is what feeds the DOM and it can be useful in several ways, for example in detecting absorption. If a large number of orders are coming into the market but the price is barely moving, this indicates that there is enough liquidity at these levels to absorb all these orders, so if these orders stop coming into the market, the price may turn around.
🔶 SETTINGS
Period: Select the anchoring period to start data collection, DAILY will anchor at the start of the trading day, and SESSIONS will start as DAILY and 15.5 hours later (RTH for US tickers).
Mode: Select between AUTO and MANUAL modes for displaying TICKS or POINTS, in AUTO mode the tool will automatically select TICKS for tickers with a daily average volatility below 5000 ticks and POINTS for the rest of the tickers.
Rows: Select the number of price levels to display
Text Size: Select the text size
🔹 DOM
DOM: Enable/Disable DOM display
Realtime only: Enable/Disable real-time data only, historical data will be collected if disabled
Top Price: Specify the price to be displayed on the top row, set to 0 to enable dynamic DOM
Max updates: Specify how many times the values on the SELL and BUY columns are accumulated until reset.
Profile/Depth size: Maximum size of the histograms on the PROFILE and DEPTH columns.
Profile: Enable/Disable Profile column. High impact on performance.
Volume: Enable/Disable Volume column. Total volume traded at price level.
Interlevel Imbalance: Enable/Disable Interlevel Imbalance column. Total volume delta between the current price level and the price level above. High impact on performance.
Depth: Enable/Disable Depth, showing the cumulative supply above the current price and the cumulative demand below. Impact on performance.
Intralevel Imbalance: Enable/Disable Intralevel Imbalance column. Delta between total buy volume and total sell volume. High impact on performance.
Buying Pressure Percent: Enable/Disable Buy Percent column. Percentage of total buy volume compared to total volume.
Imbalance Threshold %: Threshold for highlighting imbalances. Set to 90 to highlight the top 10% of interlevel imbalances and the top and bottom 10% of intra-level imbalances.
Crypto volume precision: Specify the number of decimals to display on the volume of crypto assets
🔹 Key Levels

CPR By Ask Dinesh Kumar(ADK)Simple CPR Indicator to increase probability of profitable trades:
The Central Pivot Range (CPR) is a trading tool used by traders to identify potential support and resistance levels in the market. Here's a simplified explanation of how traders can potentially profit using the Central Pivot Range with 10 lines:
1. *Understanding CPR*: CPR consists of three lines: the pivot point (PP), upper resistance level (R1), and lower support level (S1). Additionally, traders often add five more of profitable tradeslines above and below the PP to create a 10-line CPR.
2. *Identify Trend*: Determine the prevailing market trend. If the market is bullish, traders will look for buying opportunities near support levels. If the market is bearish, they'll seek selling opportunities near resistance levels.
3. *Entry Points*: Look for entry points near the support (S1) or resistance (R1) levels within the CPR. These levels can act as potential turning points where price may reverse.
4. *Risk Management*: Set stop-loss orders to manage risk. Stop-loss orders should be placed slightly below support levels for long positions and slightly above resistance levels for short positions.
5. *Profit Targets*: Determine profit targets based on the distance between entry point and the next support or resistance level. Some traders use a risk-reward ratio to ensure potential profits outweigh potential losses.
6. *Confirmation*: Use additional technical indicators or price action patterns to confirm potential entry or exit points within the CPR.
7. *Monitor Price Action*: Continuously monitor price action around the CPR levels. Traders should be prepared to adjust their positions if price breaks through support or resistance levels convincingly.
8. *Trade Management*: Once in a trade, actively manage it by adjusting stop-loss orders, trailing stops, or taking partial profits as price moves in the desired direction.
9. *Market Conditions*: Consider broader market conditions, such as economic indicators, geopolitical events, or news releases, which can impact price movements and the effectiveness of CPR.
10. *Practice and Analysis*: Practice using CPR on historical price charts and analyze past trades to refine strategies and improve decision-making skills.
Remember, trading involves risks, and no strategy guarantees profits. It's essential to thoroughly understand the concepts behind CPR and practice disciplined risk management to increase the likelihood of successful trades.
How does central pivot range work:
Sure here's a concise explanation of how the Central Pivot Range (CPR) works in 10 points:
1. *Calculation*: CPR is calculated using the previous day's high (H), low (L), and close (C) prices.
2. *Pivot Point (PP)*: The central point of CPR is the average of the previous day's high, low, and close prices: PP = (H + L + C) / 3.
3. *Upper Resistance Levels (R1, R2, R3)*: These are potential price levels above the pivot point where resistance may occur. They are calculated by adding a multiple of the range (H - L) to the pivot point: R1 = (2 * PP) - L, R2 = PP + (H - L), R3 = PP + 2 * (H - L).
4. *Lower Support Levels (S1, S2, S3)*: These are potential price levels below the pivot point where support may occur. They are calculated similarly to resistance levels but subtracting multiples of the range from the pivot point: S1 = (2 * PP) - H, S2 = PP - (H - L), S3 = PP - 2 * (H - L).
5. *Trading Signals*: Traders use CPR to identify potential support and resistance levels where price may reverse or stall.
6. *Range Bound Markets*: In range-bound markets, traders may buy near support levels (S1, S2, S3) and sell near resistance levels (R1, R2, R3).
7. *Breakout Trading*: When price breaks through a CPR level convincingly, it may indicate a potential trend continuation or reversal, providing breakout trading opportunities.
8. *Volume and Momentum*: Traders often look for confirmation from volume and momentum indicators when price approaches CPR levels.
9. *Intraday Trading*: CPR can be applied to intraday timeframes as well, providing shorter-term traders with potential trading levels for the day.
10. *Dynamic Indicator*: CPR is dynamic and recalculates daily based on new price data, allowing traders to adapt their strategies to current market conditions.
Understanding how to interpret CPR levels and integrate them into a trading strategy can help traders identify potential entry and exit points in the market.
Intraday CPR with Previous Highs and Lows and Swing Highs/LowsThis Pine Script indicator plots the Central Pivot Range (CPR) for the current trading day along with previous day's high (PDH), low (PDL), and swing high/low (Swing H/L) values.

Two Days Back Swing High/Low: The highest high and lowest low from a specified period (swing period) of two trading days ago.
Pivot Points ++The Pivot Points is a classical indicator that aims to assess the Location in which a market is trading and infer hints about its directional movement. Its concept idea has been evolving along the XX century, tracing back to traders like Jesse Livermore, Nicholas Darvis, William O’Neil and Mark Minervini.
This is a Leading Indicator which computes a series of key levels that might act as Support and Resistance over the selected time frame period.
This version of the Pivot Points delivers a convenient way to visualize its information. It’s been designed for it to be useful to a variety of trading styles: from the ones that use it to detect reversal points, to the ones that gauge the market at a single glance.
HOW TO READ THE PIVOT POINTS
Pivot Points set a series of price levels which remain constant through the time period (which could be: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or multi-yearly).
At the beginning of a new time period, it calculates the main Pivot Point Level (PP), and depending on the type, it can compute up to 5 Support Levels (S1 to S5) and 5 Resistance Levels (R1 to R5).
Being such a universal indicator, there exist many ways of reading the Pivot Levels. Now, let’s see some common uses of the indicator.
Warning: Please don’t rely on a single indicator to make your trading decisions, but rather integrate it into a coherent system combining it with complementary signals.
Support and Resistance : This is a straightforward approach. Each Pivot Level may act as Support or Resistance. For instance the level S1 initially behaves as Support. As price gets closer, one may observe that the level is being respected and price bounces around the level. Or in case it would get broken, then it would automatically shift its role into a Resistance Level.
Mood Gauge : One can quickly gauge the mood of the market by seeing where price stands in relation to the Main Pivot Point Level (PP). Above the Pivot point is generally interpreted as bullish, whilst standing below implies a bearish tone.
Stop Loss and Profit Levels : When entering on a trade, one can use the Pivot Levels to set the Stop Loss behind it, or set the Take Profit in an area surrounding it.
Agreement with Fibonacci Retracements or Expansions : One can combine the power of these 2 leading indicators in search for Agreement areas where to find both a significant Pivot Level and a Relevant Fibonacci Level.
Volume or Volatility Squeezes : Some traders focus on the Pivot Levels in combination with Volume or Volatility readings, in order to anticipate turning points or continuation legs.
WHY WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN THIS INDICATOR?
Pivot Points ++ has been designed to address the needs of dedicated traders. Let’s review its main features.
Display up to 9 sets of Pivot Points simultaneously
Long term view: As an analyst and as a trader, being able to display many sets of Pivot Points simultaneously is of great advantage when assessing long term views on the market.
Pivot Levels clearly Identified: Each set of Pivot Points get clearly identified with a prefaced letter indicating its time frame, i.e. Yearly Pivot Point appears as YPP and Monthly Pivot Resistance 1 appears as MR1 .
Minimalistic coloring: The Main Pivot Levels are highlighted in color to stand out, yet the intention of the indicator is to be as minimalistic and keep the chart as clean as possible.
Display Pivots as a Panel
Panel View: Display the Pivot Points’ information in the way that better suits your charting style. In addition to displaying the lines over the price chart, the indicator allows displaying the data on a Panel. The Panel view can be used together with the Line view, or it can be used in isolation.
Fully customizable: Its location, size and its design parameters can be customized through the Settings tab.
Common sense formatting: It displays a column for each of the selected time frames, and a row for each of the selected Pivot Levels. When a Pivot Level displays in colors, it means that price is currently trading above (green) or below (red) that level. Moreover, when the current price is trading just near the Pivot Level, the color shifts to Dark Red when it’s acting as a Resistance, and Dark Green when it acts as Support.
Keep your Chart Clean!
Disciplined traders keep their charts clean. One needs proper focus to trade in the zone.
Please check how the chart on the left looks compared to the one on the right. Both display exactly the same Pivot Points.
The chart on the left contributes to a more minimalistic display of information, as for when a trader wishes to quickly check where the price is trading in relation to the Pivot Points. Moreover, the chart on the right has the advantage to display clearly the Reversals and Price Reactions in relation to the Pivot Points. The decision is yours.
Show only Pivots Relevant to the Current Time Frame
The sets of Pivot Points belonging to time frames Below or Near the current Time Frame get hidden to prevent overcrowding the chart with lines. Nevertheless, this feature can be disabled through the Settings tab.
These are the preset Time Frames:
Intraday/Scalping: Those operating on time frames below 1H will be able to see the whole range of Pivot Levels.
1H: Traders operating on 1-Hour Charts display Pivots from Weekly and above. Daily Pivot Points get hidden.
4H: On 4-Hour Charts, Monthly Pivots and above get displayed. Weekly Pivot Points get hidden.
D: On Daily Charts, Quarterly Pivots and above get displayed. Monthly Pivot Points get hidden.
W: On Weekly Charts, Yearly Pivots and above get displayed. Quarterly Pivot Points get hidden.
M: On Monthly Charts, Tri-Yearly Pivots and above get displayed. Yearly and Bi-Yearly Pivot Points get hidden.
3M and 12M: Above Monthly Charts, only Decennial Pivots get displayed. All the rest get hidden.
Good Looking right off the box
It looks good: The indicator will look just fine on most of the charts. It displays well on dark themed charts and on light themed charts. No need to mess up with the coloring of the indicator for it to display properly.
Fully customizable: Nevertheless, you can easily override the defaults and customize the Colors and Line Styles for each Pivot Level.
Displays True on Heikin Ashi Charts
That’s good news for scalpers, because Pivot Points get computed correctly even when being displayed over Heiken Ashi charts.
SETTINGS
Now let’s dive into the settings of this indicator.

Swing High/Low & EMA Cross AlertScript Description:
This script on TradingView combines the detection of Swing High/Low points with exponential moving average (EMA) crossovers to provide buy and sell alerts and to mark swing points on the chart.
What the Script Does:
Swing High/Low Detection:
Uses the ta.pivothigh function to detect significant high points and the ta.pivotlow function to detect significant low points.
For each detected point, the script checks if it is a new higher high (HH) or lower high (LH) for the highs, and a new lower low (LL) or higher low (HL) for the lows.
Creates visual labels to identify these points on the chart, helping traders to visualize potential reversal points.
EMA Crossover:
Calculates two EMAs: a fast EMA (fastEMA) with a default period of 50 and a slow EMA (slowEMA) with a default period of 200.
Detects bullish crossovers (when fastEMA crosses above slowEMA) and bearish crossunders (when fastEMA crosses below slowEMA).
Generates buy and sell alerts based on these crossovers.
How the Script Works:
EMA Calculation: EMAs are calculated using the closing prices and user-defined periods.
Swing High/Low Detection: Uses the high and low values from the previous length bars to determine the swing points.
Alert Generation: Alerts are triggered when crossovers between the EMAs occur.
How to Use the Script:
Add to Chart: Insert the script into TradingView and apply it to the desired chart.
Configure Parameters:
Adjust the detection period for swing points (length).
Configure the periods for the EMAs (fastLen and slowLen).
Customize the colors for the swing point labels as per your preference.
Monitor Alerts: Use the EMA crossover alerts to make buy or sell decisions. Observe the swing point labels to identify potential trend reversals.
Justification for the Combination:
EMAs: Widely used to identify trend direction. Combining a fast EMA with a slow EMA helps capture both short-term and long-term trend changes.
Swing High/Low: Identifies reversal points in price, which are crucial for determining potential entry and exit points in trades.
Combination:
Combining EMAs and Swing High/Low provides a comprehensive view of price behavior, helping traders to effectively identify trends and reversal points.
This script is useful for traders who want to combine trend analysis (via EMAs) with the identification of reversal points (Swing High/Low), providing a more complete view of price behavior on the chart.
Support and Resistance [CryptoSea]The Support and Resistance Indicator is a powerful tool developed by CryptoSea for traders seeking to identify key market levels with precision. This script leverages advanced pivot and volume analysis to highlight support and resistance zones on the price chart.
Key Features
Multi-Source Pivot Analysis: Choose between wicks or body prices for calculating pivot points, providing flexibility in market analysis.
Volume Spike Detection: Automatically identifies volume spikes using a customizable threshold multiplier, enhancing the accuracy of support and resistance levels.
Dynamic Box Display: Configurable options for extending and graying out boxes based on price interaction, ensuring a clear visual representation of active and invalidated zones.
In the example below, we see a resistance box formed based on wick highs and a volume spike. The box extends to where we see price rejecting from it. In the settings you can change this so the box will stop if price touches it if you prefer.
How it Works
Pivot Point Calculation: The script determines pivot highs and lows using either wicks or body prices over a specified term (Short, Medium, Long), corresponding to 5, 15, or 30 bars.
Volume Analysis: Calculates average volume over twice the pivot length and identifies volume spikes exceeding the user-defined threshold, crucial for confirming support and resistance levels.
Box Management: Maintains arrays of support and resistance boxes, limiting the number based on user settings (All, Recent Few, Recent Several).
Settings Explained
Source: Choose between 'Wicks' or 'Bodies' to determine whether pivot points are calculated using candle wicks or body prices.
Pivot Term: Select 'Short' (5 bars), 'Medium' (15 bars), or 'Long' (30 bars) to adjust the distance for pivot calculation. Longer terms take more bars to confirm support/resistance.
Volume Threshold (multiplier): Set a multiplier of average volume to detect volume spikes, essential for validating support/resistance levels.
Extend Until Price Hits: Enable this to extend support/resistance boxes until the price touches them, providing dynamic levels.
Gray Out Boxes Once Hit: Enable this to gray out the boxes once the price interacts with them, indicating that they are no longer active.
Max Boxes Displayed: Choose 'All', 'Recent Few' (up to 3 boxes each for bull and bear), or 'Recent Several' (up to 10 boxes each for bull and bear) to control the number of visible boxes.
Invalidate Condition: Select 'Touch' to invalidate a box when the price touches it or 'Through' to invalidate when the price passes entirely through the box.
Candle Colors: Option to color candles based on neutral, bullish, or bearish conditions for easier visual analysis.
Application
Strategic Planning: Assists traders in pinpointing potential entry and exit points by marking significant support and resistance zones.
Trend Confirmation: Validates trend strength and potential reversals with volume-based analysis of support and resistance levels.
Customizable Settings: Tailors analysis to various trading strategies with extensive input settings for pivot source, term, volume threshold, and display preferences.

Six T3 Bands – Set to Any Time Frame [1000X]Script Description: Six T3 Bands – Set to Any Time Frame
This script leverages T3 lines, an advanced form of moving averages, to provide more adaptive and responsive indicators compared to traditional Moving Averages (MA) or Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). The T3 indicator, originally conceptualized by Tim Tillson in 1998, is known for its smoothness and reduced lag, making it a powerful tool for traders seeking precise market signals.
Features:
1 Adjustable Parameters:
◦ The script allows for the customization of six different T3 lines, each with adjustable lengths and "b values" (smoothing coefficients). This flexibility lets users fine-tune the indicators to fit various trading styles and market conditions.
◦ Users can set the reference timeframe for the T3 lines using the request.security function, enabling analysis across different timeframes. By default, the timeframe is set to the daily chart.
2 Calculation Method:
◦ The T3 lines are calculated using a multi-stage Exponential Moving Average (EMA) process. Specifically, the price data is smoothed through six stages of EMA calculations, with coefficients applied to produce the final T3 value. This method ensures the T3 lines are smoother and less laggy than traditional moving averages.
3 Usage:
◦ The T3 lines can be utilized to identify natural support and resistance levels within the market. By observing how the price interacts with these lines, traders can gain insights into potential reversal points or continuation patterns.
◦ The script's default settings are optimized for identifying these levels, but users are encouraged to adjust the parameters to match their specific trading strategies.
How to Use:
1 Customization:
◦ Access the script's settings to adjust the T3 lengths and "b values" for each of the six lines. This customization allows you to tailor the indicator to your preferred sensitivity and responsiveness.
◦ Set the reference timeframe according to your analysis needs. Whether you prefer intraday, daily, or longer-term charts, the T3 lines will remain set to the reference timeframe that you choose, while you focus your attention on the time frame of your choice.
2 Trading Strategies:
◦ Support and Resistance Trading: Use the T3 lines to identify key support and resistance zones. Look for price reactions around these lines to make informed trading decisions.
◦ Trend Confirmation: Combine the T3 lines with other technical indicators to confirm trends and filter out noise. The smoothness of the T3 lines helps in recognizing genuine trend changes.
Conclusion: This script builds on the foundational work of Tim Tillson and the classic T3 Average script by @HPotter (2014). Significant enhancements include making the "b value" an adjustable input and utilizing the request.security function to apply T3 lines to a specified timeframe. These improvements provide traders with greater control and adaptability, enhancing the practical utility of the T3 indicator.
The "Six T3 Bands – Set to Any Time Frame " script offers a useful tool for traders looking to enhance their technical analysis, both to visualize trend direction and to identify likely support and resistance levels. Its adaptive nature and customizable features make it a valuable addition to many trading strategies..
Pivot WebThe Pivot Web is a prototype with its base derived from TradingView's standard pivot point indicator plus inspiration from LuxAlgo's trendline work alongside my own observations/experiences.
The theory is that there's legitimacy, from a technical standpoint, pivot point calculations are an adequate gauge of momentum and sentiment because the same math was used under pressure by floor traders themselves. That calculation is centered on the average of high, low, and closing prices. This indicator creates trendlines connecting the last pivot, support, and resistance levels to the current ones. A dynamic visual cue could make it easier to assess if the price will continue or reverse the current trajectory. This method also shows us an excellent visual for volatility.
Key Takeaways:
This indicator draws new dynamic trendlines.
These new trendlines connect the past and present pivot point levels based on the timeframe you select.
Shorter timeframes = More trendlines
Price adherence to the path of these lines may offer insight for trading.
Lastly, note the first set of data in each new timeframe displays the current original pivot point levels along with the trendlines attached to their ending point. Most of the time this indicator leaves room by briefly highlighting the original static levels with all levels also being optional displays. Also note that a more stable asset may not require the outermost support and resistance levels. Like most time series analysis tools, the Pivot Web requires current data to function properly.
"Nature is pleased with simplicity, and nature is no dummy."
IsAlgo - Support & Resistance Strategy► Overview:
The Support & Resistance Strategy is designed to identify critical support and resistance levels and execute trades when the price crosses these levels. Utilizing a combination of a moving average, ATR indicator, and the highest and lowest prices, this strategy aims to accurately pinpoint entry and exit points for trades based on market movements.
► Description:
The Support & Resistance Strategy leverages the ATR (Average True Range) and a moving average to identify key support and resistance levels. The strategy calculates these levels by measuring the distance between the current market price and the moving average. This distance is continuously compared with each new candle to provide an estimate of the support and resistance levels.
The ATR is utilized to determine the width of these levels, ensuring they adjust to market volatility. To validate these levels, the strategy counts how often a candle’s low or high touches the estimated support or resistance and then bounces back. A higher frequency of such touches indicates a stronger, more reliable level.
Once the levels are confirmed, the strategy waits for a candle to close above the resistance level or below the support level. A candle closing above the resistance triggers a long entry, while a candle closing below the support triggers a short entry.
The strategy incorporates multiple stop-loss options to manage risk effectively. These options include setting stop-loss levels based on fixed pips, ATR calculations, or the highest/lowest prices of previous candles. Up to three take-profit levels can be set using fixed pips, ATR, or risk-to-reward ratios. A trailing stop feature adjusts the stop loss as the trade moves into profit, and a break-even feature moves the stop loss to the entry price once a certain profit level is reached.
Additionally, the strategy can close trades if the price crosses the opposite support or resistance level or if a candle moves significantly against the trade direction.

Pivot PointsPivot points are technical indicators used in financial markets (such as stocks, forex, or commodities) to identify potential turning points in price movement. They provide reference levels based on the previous day’s price action.
How to use the Pivot Points indicator
Traders use pivot points to identify significant price levels where the market may reverse or consolidate.
PP, S1, and R1 are considered primary levels, while S2 and R2 are secondary levels.
R3, R4, R5, S3, S4 and S5 are considered more extreme levels and we normally don't see price action trade near these levels on a typical day. This indicator calculates those extreme levels to help on days with extreme price action.
Pivot points can be calculated for different timeframes (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, 6-months and yearly).
Pivot points calculated using the daily timeframe is a popular chose among day traders traders who trade intraday timeframes.
Trading Strategies
Bounce Strategy:
Buy near support (S1 or S2) if the price bounces off these levels.
Sell near resistance (R1 or R2) if the price reverses from these levels.
Breakout Strategy:
If the price breaks above R1, consider a long position.
If the price breaks below S1, consider a short position.
Profit targets:
If in a long trade and price hits R1, you take some profit.
If in a short trade and price hits S1, you take some profit.
Combine pivot points with other technical indicators (e.g., moving averages, candlestick patterns) for confirmation. Remember that pivot points are just one tool among many, and their effectiveness varies across different markets and timeframes. Always practice risk management and consider the overall market context when using pivot points in your trading decisions.
True Market Structure {DCAquant}
True Market Structure
Overview
The True Market Structure is a technical analysis tool designed for use across all timeframes. It identifies and visualizes market structure breaks (MSBs) and break of structure (BOS) events, emphasizing interim highs and lows using the "Deroz Wick" system. Unlike many other indicators, this tool does not rely on traditional pivot points, making it a unique addition to any trader's toolkit.
How It Works
The True Market Structure indicator uses a combination of algorithms to detect and highlight significant market structure events. By analyzing price action and identifying key levels, the indicator aids in understanding potential reversal points and trend continuations.
Bull and Bear Market Structures: Differentiates between bullish and bearish market structures, applying distinct color settings for easy visualization.
Customizable Settings: Users can tailor the indicator’s appearance and functionality to their preferences, including toggling lines, labels, and selecting between SWING and INTERIM MS settings.
How our market structure indicator is different
All known market structure indicators work with pivot points. This is a lookback function to find highs and lows within a certain period and then producing market structure.
Our indicator doesn't work like this as the DCAquant True Market Structure finds swing and interim lows and saves it into memory thus giving us the ability to create real market structure breaks and BOS’s.
This is achieved when an MSB or BOS is triggered the script will perform a check through its memory to find previous Interim or swing which ever setting the user has selected.
A saved interim or swing will never change unless it is broken giving you true market structure, this Indicator cannot repaint because it only produces breaks whenever candle is closed.
The next MSB or BOS you see on the chart are the direct function of saved memory points which gives clear indication of true market structure.
Almost 500 lines of code to give you True Market Structure usable on any timeframe.
Key Features
1. Market Structure Breaks (MSBs) and Break of Structure (BOS)
Market Structure Breaks (MSBs): Occur when the price breaks through a previous significant high or low, indicating a potential reversal or continuation of the current trend.
Break of Structure (BOS): Highlights significant breaks in market structure, providing insights into potential trend changes.
2. Visualization Options
Customizable colour settings for both bull and bear market structures, ensuring it integrates with any chart setup.
Options to enable or disable lines and labels for flexible information display.
3. The WICK System
Standard WICK System: Identifies wicks based on standard high/low calculations.
Deroz WICK System: Enhances the standard WICK system by looking back at price history and replacing the standard wick if an even lower or higher wick is found in the subsequent bar.
4. MS Settings
SWING Setting: Sets future MSB events at swing highs/lows, offering a broader market perspective.
INTERIM Setting: Sets future MSB events at interim highs/lows, providing more immediate and frequent market structure updates.
Understanding Market Structure
Market structure is defined by a series of price actions that form recognizable patterns indicating the current trend. Key elements include:
Higher Highs (HH) and Higher Lows (HL): Indicate an uptrend, where each successive high and low is higher than the previous one.
Lower Highs (LH) and Lower Lows (LL): Indicate a downtrend, where each successive high and low is lower than the previous one.
These patterns help traders identify trend direction and potential reversal points. In an uptrend, traders look for higher highs and higher lows to continue, whereas in a downtrend, they look for lower highs and lower lows.
Application in Breakout Trading
Market structure analysis is crucial for breakout trading, where traders seek to capitalize on significant price movements following a break of established price levels.
Uptrend Breakouts: Traders watch for breaks above higher highs as potential entry points for long positions.
Downtrend Breakouts: Traders watch for breaks below lower lows as potential entry points for short positions.
The True Market Structure indicator assists by visually marking these critical levels, simplifying the process of identifying and acting on breakout opportunities.

Stop Hunts [MK]Liquidity rests above/below previous highs and lows because these are the areas where traders are most likely to leave their orders/stop losses. The market can tap into this liquidity source by going beyond the previous highs and lows, this liquidity can then be used to reverse the market in the opposite direction.
As traders we may want to know if price will continue beyond previous highs and lows, or reverse the market. If price looks to be reversing after tapping into liquidity, this can be a good area to enter a trade. The same area can be used as a take profit level also.
The indicator identifies previous high/lows in two ways:
1. previous high/lows using 'PIVOT POINTS'. Pivots are easy to spot and are obvious within a price trend. Also called 'higher highs", "lower lows" etc. The number of candles required to form the pivot point can be adjusted in the script settings.
see below example of pivot point and stop hunt:
www.tradingview.com
see how price reversed upwards after stop hunt on pivot point above.
2. previous candle high/lows. A previous candles high and low are also good areas of liquidity.
see below example of previous candle stop hunt:
see how price reversed upwards after stop hunt on previous candle low above.
Personally, I use the pivot point stop hunts on lower timeframes and previous candle stop hunts on higher timeframes. However users can adjust on which timeframes to show the indicator depending on their own trading style.
As ever all items within 'settings' are customizable.
The indicator is by no means a 'trading strategy' and users should be fully aware of the stop hunt concept and have conducted extensive back-testing before using with 'live' accounts.
The indicator may also serve as a 'teaching aid' to new students and as a reminder to more experienced traders.
ATR Price Range Prediction V.2### ATR Price Range Prediction V.2
This script calculates the expected high and low prices for the current day based on the Average True Range (ATR) and displays the proportion of days where the daily range (high - low) is greater than or equal to the ATR. Additionally, the script provides an option to adjust the size of the text displayed in the top-right corner of the chart.
#### How It Works
1. **ATR Calculation**: The script calculates the ATR for a specified period (`atrPeriod`). ATR is a measure of volatility that represents the average range between the high and low prices over a specified number of periods.
2. **Expected High and Low Calculation**:
- **Expected High**: Calculated by adding the ATR value to the low price of the current day.
- **Expected Low**: Calculated by subtracting the ATR value from the high price of the current day.
3. **Proportion Calculation**: The script calculates the proportion of days where the daily range (high - low) is greater than or equal to the ATR value. This proportion is updated in real-time as new data comes in.
4. **Table Display**: Instead of displaying labels on each candle, the script shows the expected high, expected low, and the calculated proportion in a table located at the top-right corner of the chart. The size of the text in this table can be adjusted using the `Table Size` input.
5. **Color Coding**: The script changes the color of the bars to yellow if the daily range is greater than or equal to the ATR value, making it easy to identify these bars visually.
#### How to Use
- **ATR Period (`atrPeriod`)**: Adjust the period for the ATR calculation using the input parameter. The default value is 14.
- **Table Size (`tableSizeOption`)**: Choose the size of the text displayed in the table. Options include `tiny`, `small`, `normal`, `large`, and `huge`.
- **Expected High and Low**: Use the green and red lines to identify potential target prices or stop-loss levels for your trades. The green line represents the expected high, and the red line represents the expected low.
- **Proportion**: The table in the top-right corner of the chart shows the proportion of days where the daily range is greater than or equal to the ATR value. This can provide insight into the volatility of the asset.
- **Color Coding**: Yellow bars indicate days where the daily range is greater than or equal to the ATR value.

### ATR คาดการณ์ราคาสูงสุดและต่ำสุด พร้อมสัดส่วน
สคริปต์นี้คำนวณราคาสูงสุดและต่ำสุดที่คาดการณ์สำหรับวันปัจจุบันโดยอิงจากค่าเฉลี่ยช่วงที่แท้จริง (ATR) และแสดงสัดส่วนของวันที่ช่วงราคาต่อวัน (สูง - ต่ำ) มากกว่าหรือเท่ากับค่า ATR นอกจากนี้ยังมีตัวเลือกในการปรับขนาดข้อความที่แสดงในกล่องข้อความมุมขวาบนของกราฟ
#### วิธีการทำงาน
1. **การคำนวณ ATR**: สคริปต์คำนวณค่า ATR สำหรับช่วงเวลาที่กำหนด (`atrPeriod`) ATR เป็นมาตรวัดความผันผวนที่แสดงช่วงเฉลี่ยระหว่างราคาสูงสุดและต่ำสุดในช่วงเวลาที่กำหนด
2. **การคำนวณราคาสูงสุดและต่ำสุดที่คาดการณ์**:
- **ราคาสูงสุดที่คาดการณ์**: คำนวณโดยการบวกค่า ATR กับราคาต่ำสุดของวันปัจจุบัน
- **ราคาต่ำสุดที่คาดการณ์**: คำนวณโดยการลบค่า ATR จากราคาสูงสุดของวันปัจจุบัน
3. **การคำนวณสัดส่วน**: สคริปต์คำนวณสัดส่วนของวันที่ช่วงราคาต่อวัน (สูง - ต่ำ) มากกว่าหรือเท่ากับค่า ATR สัดส่วนนี้จะอัปเดตแบบเรียลไทม์เมื่อมีข้อมูลใหม่เข้ามา
4. **การแสดงผลในตาราง**: แทนที่จะแสดงป้ายกำกับบนแท่งเทียนแต่ละแท่ง สคริปต์จะแสดงราคาสูงสุดที่คาดการณ์ ราคาต่ำสุดที่คาดการณ์ และสัดส่วนที่คำนวณในตารางที่มุมขวาบนของกราฟ โดยสามารถปรับขนาดข้อความในตารางได้
5. **การใช้สี**: สคริปต์จะเปลี่ยนสีของแท่งเทียนเป็นสีเหลืองหากช่วงราคาต่อวันมากกว่าหรือเท่ากับค่า ATR ทำให้สามารถระบุแท่งเทียนเหล่านี้ได้ง่ายขึ้น
#### วิธีการใช้งาน
- **ATR Period (`atrPeriod`)**: ปรับช่วงเวลาสำหรับการคำนวณ ATR โดยใช้พารามิเตอร์การป้อนค่า ค่าเริ่มต้นคือ 14
- **Table Size (`tableSizeOption`)**: เลือกขนาดข้อความที่แสดงในตาราง ตัวเลือกได้แก่ `tiny`, `small`, `normal`, `large`, และ `huge`
- **ราคาสูงสุดและต่ำสุดที่คาดการณ์**: ใช้เส้นสีเขียวและสีแดงเพื่อระบุราคาที่เป็นเป้าหมายหรือระดับการหยุดขาดทุนสำหรับการซื้อขายของคุณ เส้นสีเขียวแสดงถึงราคาสูงสุดที่คาดการณ์และเส้นสีแดงแสดงถึงราคาต่ำสุดที่คาดการณ์
- **สัดส่วน**: ตารางที่มุมขวาบนของกราฟแสดงสัดส่วนของวันที่ช่วงราคาต่อวันมากกว่าหรือเท่ากับค่า ATR ซึ่งสามารถให้ข้อมูลเชิงลึกเกี่ยวกับความผันผวนของสินทรัพย์
- **การใช้สี**: แท่งเทียนสีเหลืองบ่งบอกถึงวันที่ช่วงราคาต่อวันมากกว่าหรือเท่ากับค่า ATR

Open Interest liquidation map [Ox_kali]This script is inspired by @LeviathanCapital work on aggregating Open Interest , as presented in the Open Interest Suite Aggregated script. This script aims to provide a liquidation map of Open Interest by identifying significant anomalies across multiple trading platforms. By integrating data from Binance, BitMEX, and Kraken, this script tries to offer a comprehensive and detailed view of Open Interest movements and attempts to define zones of interest.
Key Points
1. Multiple Data Sources : The script retrieves Open Interest data from several trading platforms, including Binance (USDT, USD, BUSD), BitMEX (USD, USDT), and Kraken (USD).
2. Anomaly Detection : Utilizes a simple moving average (SMA) to calculate the average size of Open Interest candles and identify anomalies based on a user-specified size factor.
3. Background Coloring : Offers an option to color the background of the charts based on detected anomalies, allowing for clear visualization of significant movements.
4. Dynamic Support and Resistance Zones : Defines and dynamically updates support and resistance zones based on Open Interest anomalies.
5. Alerts : Configures alerts to notify the user when an Open Interest anomaly is detected.
Trading Utility
This script can be useful for monitoring significant changes in Open Interest and potential liquidation zones across multiple platforms. The main trading applications include:
1. Identifying Liquidation Points : By detecting Open Interest anomalies, it is possible to identify potential liquidation points where significant price movements might occur.
2. Multi-Platform Analysis : By aggregating Open Interest data from multiple platforms, a more comprehensive market overview is obtained.
3. Detecting Support and Resistance Zones : Dynamic support and resistance zones help identify key price levels where trend reversals might occur.
4. Customized Alerts: Anomaly alerts allow for automated responses to market changes.
Conclusion
The “Open Interest liquidation map ” script is an experimental tool for analyzing Open Interest across multiple trading platforms. Inspired by Leviathan’s work, this script attempts to identify liquidation and interest zones. This is an experimental version, and I welcome any comments and feedback for improvement.
Please note that the Open Interest liquidation map is not a guarantee of future market performance and should be used in conjunction with proper risk management. Always ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the indicator’s methodology and its limitations before making any investment decisions.
