Depth Trend Indicator - RSIDepth Trend Indicator - RSI
This indicator is designed to identify trends and gauge pullback strength by combining the power of RSI and moving averages with a depth-weighted calculation. The script was created by me, Nathan Farmer and is based on a multi-step process to determine trend strength and direction, adjusted by a "depth" factor for more accurate signal analysis.
How It Works
Trend Definition Using RSI: The RSI Moving Average ( rsiMa ) is calculated to assess the current trend, using customizable parameters for the RSI Period and MA Period .
Trends are defined as follows:
Uptrend : RSI MA > Critical RSI Value
Downtrend : RSI MA < Critical RSI Value
Pullback Depth Calculation: To measure pullback strength relative to the current trend, the indicator calculates a Depth Percentage . This is defined as the portion of the gap between the moving average and the price covered by a pullback.
Depth-Weighted RSI Calculation: The Depth Percentage is then applied as a weighting factor on the RSI Moving Average , giving us a Weighted RSI line that adjusts to the depth of pullbacks. This line is rather noisy, and as such we take a moving average to smooth out some of the noise.
Key Parameters
RSI Period : The period for RSI calculation.
MA Period : The moving average period applied to RSI.
Price MA Period : Determines the SMA period for price, used to calculate pullback depth.
Smoothing Length : Length of smoothing applied to the weighted RSI, creating a more stable signal.
RSI Critical Value : The critical value (level) used in determining whether we're in an uptrend or a downtrend.
Depth Critical Value : The critical value (level) used in determining whether or not the depth weighted value confirms the state of a trend.
Notes:
As always, backtest this indicator and modify the parameters as needed for your specific asset, over your specific timeframe. I chose these defaults as they worked well on the assets I look at, but it is likely you tend to look at a different group of assets over a different timeframe than what I do.
Large pullbacks can create large downward spikes in the weighted line. This isn't graphically pleasing, but I have tested it with various methods of normalization and smoothing and found the simple smoothing used in the indicator to be best despite this.

EMA Distance & Sector InfoThis indicator provides insights into price trends relative to Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and displays sector/industry information about the asset. Below is a detailed explanation of its purpose and what it is designed to achieve:
Purpose of the Code
The indicator offers two key functionalities:
1. Analyzing Price Distance from Multiple EMAs:
• Helps traders understand how far the current price is from key EMAs, expressed as a percentage.
• Calculates average percentage distances over a specified period (default: 63 days) to spot consistent trends or mean reversion opportunities.
• Useful for trend-following strategies, allowing the trader to see when the price is above or below important EMAs (e.g., 9, 21, 50, 100, and 150-period EMAs).
2. Displaying Asset Sector and Industry Information:
• Displays the sector and industry of the asset being analyzed (e.g., Technology, Consumer Goods).
• Provides additional context when evaluating performance across a specific sector or comparing an asset to its peers.
Who Would Use This Indicator?
This indicator is particularly helpful for:
1. Swing Traders and Positional Traders:
• They can use it to track whether the price is trading significantly above or below critical EMAs, which often signals overbought/oversold conditions or trend strength.
• The average percentage distances help to identify momentum shifts or pullback opportunities.
2. Sector/Industry-Focused Investors:
• Understanding an asset’s sector and industry helps investors gauge how the asset fits into the broader market context.
• This is valuable for sector rotation strategies, where investors shift funds between sectors based on performance trends.
How It Helps in Trading Decisions
1. Entry and Exit Points:
• If the price is far above an EMA (e.g., 21 EMA), it might indicate an overbought condition or a strong trend, while a negative percentage could signal a pullback or reversal opportunity.
• The average percentage distances smooth the fluctuations and reveal longer-term trends.
2. Contextual Information:
• Knowing the sector and industry is useful when analyzing trends. For example, if Technology stocks are doing well, and this asset belongs to that sector, it could indicate sector-wide momentum.
Summary of the Indicator’s Purpose
This code provides:
• EMA trend monitoring: Visualizes the price position relative to multiple EMAs and averages those distances for smoother insights.
• Sector and industry information: Adds valuable context for asset performance analysis.
• Decision-making support: Helps traders identify overbought/oversold levels and assess the asset within the broader market landscape.
In essence, this indicator is a multi-purpose tool that combines technical analysis (through EMA distances) with fundamental context (via sector/industry info), making it valuable for traders and investors aiming to time entries/exits or understand market behavior better.
MACD Trail | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new MACD Trail indicator! Moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) is a well-known indicator among traders. It's a trend-following indicator that uses the relationship between two exponential moving averages (EMAs). This indicator aims to use MACD to generate a trail that follows the current price of the ticker, which can act as a support / resistance zone. More info about the process in the "How Does It Work" section.
Features of the new MACD Trail Indicator :
A Trail Generated Using MACD Calculation
Customizable Algorithm
Customizable Styling
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
First of all, this indicator calculates the current MACD of the ticker using the user's input as settings. Let X = MACD Length setting ;
MACD ~= X Period EMA - (X * 2) Period EMA
Then, two MACD Trails are generated, one being bullish and other being bearish. Let ATR = 30 period ATR (Average True Range)
Bullish MACD Trail = Current Price + MACD - (ATR * 1.75)
Bearish MACD Trail = Current Price + MACD + (ATR * 1.75)
The indicator starts by rendering only the Bullish MACD Trail. Then if it's invalidated (candlestick closes below the trail) it switches to Bearish MACD Trail. The MACD trail switches between bullish & bearish as they get invalidated.
The trail type may give a hint about the current trend of the price action. The trail itself also can act as a support / resistance zone, here is an example :
🚩 UNIQUENESS
While MACD is one of the most used indicators among traders, this indicator aims to add another functionality to it by rendering a trail based on it. This trail may act as a support / resistance zone as described above, and gives a glimpse about the current trend. The indicator also has custom MACD Length and smoothing options, as well as various style options.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
MACD Length -> This setting adjusts the EMA periods used in MACD calculation. Increasing this setting will make MACD more responseive to longer trends, while decreasing it may help with detection of shorter trends.
Smoothing -> The smoothing of the MACD Trail. Increasing this setting will help smoothen out the MACD Trail line, but it can also make it less responsive to the latest changes.

Signals: The indicator determines bullish and bearish market states and plots corresponding signals on the chart.
Customizable Visualization: Options to display the midline and color candles based on market state enhance visual analysis.
Alerts: Integrated alert conditions notify you of bullish and bearish signals.
🔶 Calculations
The RSI Trail indicator calculates dynamic support and resistance levels using a combination of moving averages and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It starts by computing a chosen moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or McGinley) over a period of 27 using the typical price (ohlc4).
The indicator then defines upper and lower bounds based on customizable RSI levels (default 40 and 60) and adjusts these bounds using the Average True Range (ATR) to account for market volatility. The upper bound is calculated by adding a volatility-adjusted value to the moving average, while the lower bound is found by subtracting this value. Bullish signals occur when the price crosses above the upper bound, and bearish signals when it falls below the lower bound.
The RSI Trail indicator also can be used to identify pullback opportunities. When the price high/low crosses above/below the calculated upper/lower bound, it indicates a potential pullback, suggesting a favorable point to enter a trade during a pullback.

3. Strategy Overview
What is the Supertrend Advance Strategy?
The Supertrend Advance Strategy is a refined version of the classic Supertrend Indicator, which was developed to aid traders in spotting market trends. The strategy utilizes a combination of data points, including average true range (ATR) and price momentum, to generate buy and sell signals.
In essence, the Supertrend Advance Strategy can be visualized as a line that moves with the price. When the price is above the Supertrend line, it indicates an uptrend and suggests a potential buy position. Conversely, when the price is below the Supertrend line, it hints at a downtrend, suggesting a potential selling point.
Strategy Goals and Objectives:
1. Trend Identification: At the core of the Supertrend Advance Strategy is the goal to efficiently and consistently identify prevailing market trends. By recognizing these trends, traders can position themselves to capitalize on price movements in their favor.
2. Reducing Noise: Financial markets are often inundated with 'noise' - short-term price fluctuations that can mislead traders. The Supertrend Advance Strategy aims to filter out this noise, allowing for clearer decision-making.
3. Enhancing Risk Management: With clear buy and sell signals, traders can set more precise stop-loss and take-profit points. This leads to better risk management and potentially improved profitability.
4. Versatility: While primarily used for trend identification, the strategy can be integrated with other technical tools and indicators to create a comprehensive trading system.
Type of Assets/Markets to Apply the Strategy:
1. Equities: The Supertrend Advance Strategy is highly popular among stock traders. Its ability to capture long-term trends makes it particularly useful for those trading individual stocks or equity indices.
2. Forex: Given the 24-hour nature of the Forex market and its propensity for trends, the Supertrend Advance Strategy is a valuable tool for currency traders.
3. Commodities: Whether it's gold, oil, or agricultural products, commodities often move in extended trends. The strategy can help in identifying and capitalizing on these movements.
4. Cryptocurrencies: The volatile nature of cryptocurrencies means they can have pronounced trends. The Supertrend Advance Strategy can aid crypto traders in navigating these often tumultuous waters.
5. Futures & Options: Traders and investors in derivative markets can utilize the strategy to make more informed decisions about contract entries and exits.
It's important to note that while the Supertrend Advance Strategy can be applied across various assets and markets, its effectiveness might vary based on market conditions, timeframe, and the specific characteristics of the asset in question. As always, it's recommended to use the strategy in conjunction with other analytical tools and to backtest its effectiveness in specific scenarios before committing to trades.

5. Understanding Strategy Conditions
Developing an understanding of the conditions set within a trading strategy is essential for traders to maximize its potential. Here, we delve deep into the logic behind these conditions, using the Supertrend Advance Strategy as our focal point.
Basic Logic Behind Conditions:
Every strategy is built around a set of conditions that provide buy or sell signals. The conditions are based on mathematical or statistical methods and are rooted in the study of historical price data. The fundamental idea is to recognize patterns or behaviors that have been profitable in the past and might be profitable in the future.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
1. Buy Conditions: Usually formulated around bullish signals or indicators suggesting upward price momentum.
2. Sell Conditions: Centered on bearish signals or indicators indicating downward price momentum.
Simple Strategy:
The simple strategy could involve using just the Supertrend indicator. Here:
• Buy: When price closes above the Supertrend line.
• Sell: When price closes below the Supertrend line.
Pullback Strategy:
This strategy capitalizes on price retracements:
• Buy: When the price retraces to the Supertrend line after a bullish signal and is supported by another bullish indicator.
• Sell: When the price retraces to the Supertrend line after a bearish signal and is confirmed by another bearish indicator.
Indicators Used:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average):
• Logic: EMA gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to current price movements. A shorter-period EMA crossing above a longer-period EMA can be a bullish sign, while the opposite is bearish.
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
• Logic: RSI measures the magnitude of recent price changes to analyze overbought or oversold conditions. Values above 70 are typically considered overbought, and values below 30 are considered oversold.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
• Logic: MACD assesses the relationship between two EMAs of a security’s price. The MACD line crossing above the signal line can be a bullish signal, while crossing below can be bearish.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index):
• Logic: CCI compares a security's average price change with its average price variation. A CCI value above +100 may mean the price is overbought, while below -100 might signify an oversold condition.
And others...
As the strategy expands or contracts, more indicators might be added or removed. The crucial point is to understand the core logic behind each, ensuring they align with the strategy's objectives.
Logic Behind Each Indicator:
1. EMA: Emphasizes recent price movements; provides dynamic support and resistance levels.
2. RSI: Indicates overbought and oversold conditions based on recent price changes.
3. MACD: Showcases momentum and direction of a trend by comparing two EMAs.
4. CCI: Measures the difference between a security's price change and its average price change.
Understanding strategy conditions is not just about knowing when to buy or sell but also about comprehending the underlying market dynamics that those conditions represent. As you familiarize yourself with each condition and indicator, you'll be better prepared to adapt and evolve with the ever-changing financial markets.
6. Trade Execution and Management
Trade execution and management are crucial aspects of any trading strategy. Efficient execution can significantly impact profitability, while effective management can preserve capital during adverse market conditions. In this section, we'll explore the nuances of position entry, exit strategies, and various Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) methodologies within the Supertrend Advance Strategy.
Position Entry:
Effective trade entry revolves around:
1. Timing: Enter at a point where the risk-reward ratio is favorable. This often corresponds to confirmatory signals from multiple indicators.
2. Volume Analysis: Ensure there's adequate volume to support the movement. Volume can validate the strength of a signal.
3. Confirmation: Use multiple indicators or chart patterns to confirm the entry point. For instance, a buy signal from the Supertrend indicator can be confirmed with a bullish MACD crossover.
Position Exit Strategies:
A successful exit strategy will lock in profits and minimize losses. Here are some strategies:
1. Fixed Time Exit: Exiting after a predetermined period.
2. Percentage-based Profit Target: Exiting after a certain percentage gain.
3. Indicator-based Exit: Exiting when an indicator gives an opposing signal.
Percentage-based SL/TP:
• Stop Loss (SL): Set a fixed percentage below the entry price to limit potential losses.
• Example: A 2% SL on an entry at $100 would trigger a sell at $98.
• Take Profit (TP): Set a fixed percentage above the entry price to lock in gains.
• Example: A 5% TP on an entry at $100 would trigger a sell at $105.
Supertrend-based SL/TP:
• Stop Loss (SL): Position the SL at the Supertrend line. If the price breaches this line, it could indicate a trend reversal.
• Take Profit (TP): One could set the TP at a point where the Supertrend line flattens or turns, indicating a possible slowdown in momentum.
Swing high/low-based SL/TP:
• Stop Loss (SL): For a long position, set the SL just below the recent swing low. For a short position, set it just above the recent swing high.
• Take Profit (TP): For a long position, set the TP near a recent swing high or resistance. For a short position, near a swing low or support.
And other methods...
1. Trailing Stop Loss: This dynamic SL adjusts with the price movement, locking in profits as the trade moves in your favor.
2. Multiple Take Profits: Divide the position into segments and set multiple TP levels, securing profits in stages.
3. Opposite Signal Exit: Exit when another reliable indicator gives an opposite signal.
Trade execution and management are as much an art as they are a science. They require a blend of analytical skill, discipline, and intuition. Regularly reviewing and refining your strategies, especially in light of changing market conditions, is crucial to maintaining consistent trading performance.
7. Visual Representations
Visual tools are essential for traders, as they simplify complex data into an easily interpretable format. Properly analyzing and understanding the plots on a chart can provide actionable insights and a more intuitive grasp of market conditions. In this section, we’ll delve into various visual representations used in the Supertrend Advance Strategy and their significance.
Understanding Plots on the Chart:
Charts are the primary visual aids for traders. The arrangement of data points, lines, and colors on them tell a story about the market's past, present, and potential future moves.
1. Data Points: These represent individual price actions over a specific timeframe. For instance, a daily chart will have data points showing the opening, closing, high, and low prices for each day.
2. Colors: Used to indicate the nature of price movement. Commonly, green is used for bullish (upward) moves and red for bearish (downward) moves.
Trend Lines:
Trend lines are straight lines drawn on a chart that connect a series of price points. Their significance:
1. Uptrend Line: Drawn along the lows, representing support. A break below might indicate a trend reversal.
2. Downtrend Line: Drawn along the highs, indicating resistance. A break above might suggest the start of a bullish trend.
Filled Areas:
These represent a range between two values on a chart, usually shaded or colored. For instance:
1. Bollinger Bands: The area between the upper and lower band is filled, giving a visual representation of volatility.
2. Volume Profile: Can show a filled area representing the amount of trading activity at different price levels.
Stop Loss and Take Profit Lines:
These are horizontal lines representing pre-determined exit points for trades.
1. Stop Loss Line: Indicates the level at which a trade will be automatically closed to limit losses. Positioned according to the trader's risk tolerance.
2. Take Profit Line: Denotes the target level to lock in profits. Set according to potential resistance (for long trades) or support (for short trades) or other technical factors.
Trailing Stop Lines:
A trailing stop is a dynamic form of stop loss that moves with the price. On a chart:
1. For Long Trades: Starts below the entry price and moves up with the price but remains static if the price falls, ensuring profits are locked in.
2. For Short Trades: Starts above the entry price and moves down with the price but remains static if the price rises.
Visual representations offer traders a clear, organized view of market dynamics. Familiarity with these tools ensures that traders can quickly and accurately interpret chart data, leading to more informed decision-making. Always ensure that the visual aids used resonate with your trading style and strategy for the best results.
8. Backtesting
Backtesting is a fundamental process in strategy development, enabling traders to evaluate the efficacy of their strategy using historical data. It provides a snapshot of how the strategy would have performed in past market conditions, offering insights into its potential strengths and vulnerabilities. In this section, we'll explore the intricacies of setting up and analyzing backtest results and the caveats one must be aware of.
Setting Up Backtest Period:
1. Duration: Determine the timeframe for the backtest. It should be long enough to capture various market conditions (bullish, bearish, sideways). For instance, if you're testing a daily strategy, consider a period of several years.
2. Data Quality: Ensure the data source is reliable, offering high-resolution and clean data. This is vital to get accurate backtest results.
3. Segmentation: Instead of a continuous period, sometimes it's helpful to backtest over distinct market phases, like a particular bear or bull market, to see how the strategy holds up in different environments.
Analyzing Backtest Results:
1. Performance Metrics: Examine metrics like the total return, annualized return, maximum drawdown, Sharpe ratio, and others to gauge the strategy's efficiency.
2. Win Rate: It's the ratio of winning trades to total trades. A high win rate doesn't always signify a good strategy; it should be evaluated in conjunction with other metrics.
3. Risk/Reward: Understand the average profit versus the average loss per trade. A strategy might have a low win rate but still be profitable if the average gain far exceeds the average loss.
4. Drawdown Analysis: Review the periods of losses the strategy could incur and how long it takes, on average, to recover.
9. Tips and Best Practices
Successful trading requires more than just knowing how a strategy works. It necessitates an understanding of when to apply it, how to adjust it to varying market conditions, and the wisdom to recognize and avoid common pitfalls. This section offers insightful tips and best practices to enhance the application of the Supertrend Advance Strategy.
When to Use the Strategy:
1. Market Conditions: Ideally, employ the Supertrend Advance Strategy during trending market conditions. This strategy thrives when there are clear upward or downward trends. It might be less effective during consolidative or sideways markets.
2. News Events: Be cautious around significant news events, as they can cause extreme volatility. It might be wise to avoid trading immediately before and after high-impact news.
3. Liquidity: Ensure you are trading in assets/markets with sufficient liquidity. High liquidity ensures that the price movements are more reflective of genuine market sentiment and not due to thin volume.
Adjusting Settings for Different Markets/Timeframes:
1. Markets: Each market (stocks, forex, commodities) has its own characteristics. It's essential to adjust the strategy's parameters to align with the market's volatility and liquidity.
2. Timeframes: Shorter timeframes (like 1-minute or 5-minute charts) tend to have more noise. You might need to adjust the settings to filter out false signals. Conversely, for longer timeframes (like daily or weekly charts), you might need to be more responsive to genuine trend changes.
3. Customization: Regularly review and tweak the strategy's settings. Periodic adjustments can ensure the strategy remains optimized for the current market conditions.
10. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Other comments
Value of combining several indicators in this script and how they work together
Diversification of Signals: Just as diversifying an investment portfolio can reduce risk, using multiple indicators can offer varied perspectives on potential price movements. Each indicator can capture a different facet of the market, ensuring that traders are not overly reliant on a single data point.
Confirmation & Reduced False Signals: A common challenge with many indicators is the potential for false signals. By requiring confirmation from multiple indicators before acting, the chances of acting on a false signal can be significantly reduced.
Flexibility Across Market Conditions: Different indicators might perform better under different market conditions. For example, while moving averages might excel in trending markets, oscillators like RSI might be more useful during sideways or range-bound conditions. A mashup strategy can potentially adapt better to varying market scenarios.
Comprehensive Analysis: With multiple indicators, traders can gauge trend strength, momentum, volatility, and potential market reversals all at once, providing a holistic view of the market.
How do the different indicators in the Supertrend Advance Strategy work together?
Supertrend: This is primarily a trend-following indicator. It provides traders with buy and sell signals based on the volatility of the price. When combined with other indicators, it can filter out noise and give more weight to strong, confirmed trends.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): EMA gives more weight to recent price data. It can be used to identify the direction and strength of a trend. When the price is above the EMA, it's generally considered bullish, and vice versa.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): An oscillator that measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions. By cross-referencing with other indicators like EMA or MACD, traders can spot potential reversals or confirmations of a trend.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): This indicator identifies changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a stock's price. When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it can be a bullish sign, and when it crosses below, it can be bearish. Pairing MACD with Supertrend can provide dual confirmation of a trend.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index): Initially developed for commodities, CCI can indicate overbought or oversold conditions. It can be used in conjunction with other indicators to determine entry and exit points.
In essence, the synergy of these indicators provides a balanced, comprehensive approach to trading. Each indicator offers its unique lens into market conditions, and when they align, it can be a powerful indication of a trading opportunity. This combination not only reduces the potential drawbacks of each individual indicator but leverages their strengths, aiming for more consistent and informed trading decisions.
Backtesting and Default Settings
• This indicator has been optimized to be applied for 1 hour-charts. However, the underlying principles of this strategy are supply and demand in the financial markets and the strategy can be applied to all timeframes. Daytraders can use the 1min- or 5min charts, swing-traders can use the daily charts.
• This strategy has been designed to identify the most promising, highest probability entries and trades for each stock or other financial security.
• The combination of the qualifiers results in a highly selective strategy which only considers the most promising swing-trading entries. As a result, you will normally only find a low number of trades for each stock or other financial security per year in case you apply this strategy for the daily charts. Shorter timeframes will result in a higher number of trades / year.
• Consequently, traders need to apply this strategy for a full watchlist rather than just one financial security.
• Default properties: RSI on (length 14, RSI buy level 50, sell level 50), EMA, RSI, MACD on, type of strategy pullback, SL/TP type: ATR (length 10, factor 3), trade direction both, quantity 5, take profit swing hl 5.1, highest / lowest lookback 2, enable ATR trail (ATR length 10, SL ATR multiplier 1.4, TP multiplier 2.1, lookback = 4, trade direction = both).
Strong Pullback Indicator [Rami_LB]Strong Pullback Indicator
Description:
The Strong Pullback Indicator is designed to identify potential pullbacks or even trend reversals by utilizing a specific candlestick pattern in conjunction with the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It is advised to employ this indicator in chart intervals of 15 minutes or higher, as intervals below 15 minutes may generate excessive false signals.
Working Mechanism:
Upon detecting the designated candlestick pattern, the indicator examines whether any of the last five candles exhibit RSI values below 30 or above 70 across at least four distinct time intervals, depending on whether the pattern is bullish or bearish. The RSI calculations incorporate eight different intervals: 1 minute (1m), 5 minutes (5m), 15 minutes (15m), 30 minutes (30m), 1 hour (1h), 2 hours (2h), 4 hours (4h), and 1 day (1d). An arrow is rendered above or below the current candle only when these conditions are met.
Users have the option to adjust the number of overbought or oversold intervals, as well as the general settings for the RSI.
SL/TP Lines:
The indicator can also serve as a trade signal to initiate trades in the opposite direction. To evaluate the potential success of a trade in a backtesting scenario, SL (Stop Loss) and TP (Take Profit) lines can be displayed on the chart. The SL is calculated by taking the distance from the close of the current candle to the high/low of the previous candle and multiplying it by 2.
In the settings, you can alter the Risk Reward Ratio (RRR) of the trade. Given the pullback nature of this indicator, a RRR of 1:1 is deemed logical, thus set as the default value.
Bullish vs. Bearish Candle Counter:
An additional feature of this indicator is its ability to analyze the last 100 candles to ascertain the ratio of bullish to bearish candles. When a 60% threshold is reached, the chart background color alters accordingly. This feature was conceived after a thorough analysis of over 50,000 candles of a currency pair revealed nearly identical counts of bullish and bearish candles, suggesting a market tendency to maintain this balance.
Within the settings, you have the flexibility to modify the number of candles to be analyzed and the percentage threshold for each candle type.
Should you have any ideas on how to enhance the accuracy of this indicator, or suggestions for other indicators that could improve the signals, feel free to leave a comment.
Supply and Demand Daily [LuxAlgo]The Supply and Demand Daily indicator displays daily supply and demand areas on the user's chart. These areas are constructed using the market data within a previous daily interval.
This script makes use of the same logic as our previous Supply and Demand Visible Range indicator .
🔶 USAGE
The supply/demand areas & levels displayed by the indicator aim to provide potential support/resistance levels for users. Supply areas highlight where buyers are willing to exit the market and sell the asset, thus providing resistance and potentially causing prices to reverse or bounce back downwards, while demand areas highlights where buyers were willing to purchase the asset, thus providing support and potentially causing prices to reverse or bounce back upwards.
Historical areas allow the user to study the evolution of supply/demand from one day to another. Wider areas highlight prices avoiding reverting to this area, while thinner areas highlight prices returning more frequently to them.
Trends can be determined by looking at the price position relative to the previous day's supply/demand areas. Price breaking down from the demand zone is indicative of a downtrend, while price breaking above the supply zone is indicative of an uptrend.
Pullback/throwback scenarios can also be common using this indicator.
🔶 SETTINGS
Threshold %: Percentage of the total visible range volume used as a threshold to set supply/demand areas. Higher values return wider areas.
Resolution: Determines the number of bins used to find each area. Higher values will return more precise results.
Intra-bar TF: Timeframe used to obtain intra-bar data.
🔶 RELATED SCRIPTS
Pullback WarningThe Pullback Warning indicator is a simple indicator that highlights the potential for a market pullback, by measuring distances between certain key moving averages.
John Pocorobba recently shared in his general market updates, research showing that when the distance between the closing price and the 9 day exponential moving average is greater than the distance between the 9 day exponential moving average and the 20 day exponential moving average a pullback is likely.
While this condition occurs frequently, I added sensitivity options to try and filter out the noise. The sensitivity is based on the closing price’s extension from the 50 day simple moving average. Depending on your level of sensitivity, only signals that occur when price is extended either 5, 6, or 7 percent away from the 50 sma will be plotted.

Dual Dynamic Fibonacci Retracement — Long and Short Duration
Title : "The Dual-Dynamic Fibonacci Retracement Script: An Advanced Tool for Comprehensive Market Analysis"
As the author of the "Dual-Dynamic Fibonacci Retracement Script", I am delighted to introduce you to this cutting-edge tool for technical analysis. Unlike conventional Fibonacci scripts, this advanced model incorporates multiple unique features and adjustments that make it a powerful asset for any market analyst. Whether you're dealing with forex, commodities, equities or any other market, this script is versatile enough to enhance your trading strategy.
Uniqueness & Differentiation:
The "Dual-Dynamic Fibonacci Script" stands out by offering two distinct lookback periods. This feature is what separates it from other scripts available in the market. The first lookback period is longer, focusing on capturing broader market trends. The second lookback period is shorter, allowing for a more granular analysis of near-term market fluctuations. This dual perspective provides a more comprehensive view of the market, allowing you to see both the forest and the trees at the same time.
Fibonacci Levels:
While offering the standard Fibonacci retracement levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, and 1.0), the script also gives you the ability to plot 0.114 and 0.886 levels. These additional levels offer an extra layer of depth to your analysis, and can prove crucial in high-volatility markets where they often serve as significant support and resistance points.
Customizable Line Shifts and Extends:
This script provides options for customization of the shift and extension of the plotted lines. This means you can adjust the start and end points of the Fibonacci lines according to your personal trading style and strategy. This level of personalization is not typically available in other scripts, and it allows for a more tailored visual representation.
Flexible Trading Positioning:
Depending on whether the closing price is above or below the midpoint of the pivot high and pivot low, the Fibonacci retracement levels are adjusted accordingly. This ensures the script remains relevant and useful regardless of market conditions.
Clean Visualization:
To prevent clutter and maintain focus on the most relevant price action, the script removes old Fibonacci lines and plots new ones once a new pivot high or low is identified. This clean visualization helps keep your analysis focused and sharp.
How to Use the Script:
To get started, simply adjust the lookback periods according to your trading strategy. If you're a long-term investor or prefer swing trading, a longer lookback period might be appropriate. Conversely, if you're a day trader, a shorter lookback period might be more beneficial.
The "Shift" and "Extend" inputs allow you to control the positioning of the Fibonacci lines on your chart. Positive values shift the lines to the right, while negative values shift them to the left.
You also have the choice to plot the additional Fibonacci levels (0.114 and 0.886) via the "Plot 0.114 and 0.886 levels?" input. Similarly, the "Plot second set of levels?" input lets you decide whether to display the second set of Fibonacci levels derived from the shorter lookback period.
Like any technical analysis tool, this script is most effective when used in conjunction with other indicators and methods of analysis. It is designed to work well in trending markets, where Fibonacci retracements can often indicate potential reversal levels. However, it's always recommended to use a holistic approach to market analysis to maximize the likelihood of successful trades.
Note: the two lines drawn on the chart are there to help the user identify the levels from which the two respective Fib sequences are calculated.
~~~
Input Explanations:
Long Period Pivot High/Low Lookback and Short Period Pivot High/Low Lookback : These settings determine the length of the lookback periods for the long-term and short-term pivot points, respectively. A pivot point is a technical analysis indicator used to determine the overall trend of the market over different time frames. The pivot points are then used to calculate the Fibonacci levels. A longer lookback period will identify pivot points over a broader time frame, capturing major market trends, while a shorter lookback period will identify pivot points over a narrower time frame, capturing more immediate market movements.
Long Period Fibonacci Level Shift and Short Period Fibonacci Level Shift : These inputs control the shift of the Fibonacci levels based on the long and short lookback periods, respectively. If you want to shift the Fibonacci levels to the right, increase the value. If you want to shift the Fibonacci levels to the left, decrease the value. This allows you to adjust the Fibonacci levels to better align with your analysis.
Long Period Fibonacci Level Extend and Short Period Fibonacci Level Extend : These inputs control the extension of the Fibonacci levels based on the long and short lookback periods, respectively. If you want the Fibonacci levels to extend further to the right, increase the value. If you want the Fibonacci levels to extend less to the right, decrease the value. This feature provides the flexibility to adjust the length of the Fibonacci levels according to your personal trading preferences and strategy.
Plot 0.114 and 0.886 levels? : This setting gives you the ability to plot the additional 0.114 and 0.886 Fibonacci levels. These levels provide extra depth to your analysis, particularly in highly volatile markets where they can act as significant support and resistance levels.
Plot second set of levels? : This input allows you to decide whether to plot the second set of Fibonacci levels based on the short lookback period. Displaying this second set of levels can provide a more granular view of market movements and potential reversal points, enhancing your overall analysis.
Trading Zones based on RS / Volume / PullbackThis is an Indicator which identifies different Trading Zones on the chart.
This should be Primarily used for Long Trades.
Trading Zones: and the Reasoning behind them
Long Zone -> One can do a Potential Entry (Buy) when this Zone is identified, but one could also wait for 'Entry Zone' (explained next) for a better Risk/Reward Trade.
Long Zones are identified with the help of Relative Strength and by an Intermediate Top in price.
Entry Zone -> This can be a better Risk/Reward zone to enter positions within the Long Zone.
Entry Zone is identified by a Pullback in Price & Volume contraction after the Long Zone is activated
Warning Zone -> One needs to be careful in this zone, no need to panic, Script will now try to find an Exit when Price Retraces towards Highs.
Warning Zone identifies weakness in the Price using Relative Strength of the current Stock (w.r.t. the Reference Symbol configured) and the severity of Pullback in Price.
Exit Zone -> are found only after transitioning to Warning Zone, this is a Zone which helps in minimising losses after a trade has gone into losses. Exit Zone is identified by making sure a local peak forms in Warning Zone. However, there are instances when Exit Zone detection can get prolonged when a local price peak is not formed soon enough. So one needs to be careful and use other strategies for exit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is different in this Script:
The Script uses Relative Strength in combination with Pullback in Price from Highs in a Novel way.
Over-trading is avoided by ignoring Sideways price movements, using Relative Strength.
Only Trending Upward movement is detected and traded.
How to use this Indicator:
Use these 'Trading Zones' only as a reference so it can minimise your time in screening stocks.
Preferred Settings for using the Indicator:
Stick to 1-Day candles
Keep Relative Symbol as "Nifty" for Indian Stocks.
For US stocks, we can use "SPX" as the Relative Symbol.

Advanced VWAP_Pullback Strategy_Trend-Template QualifierGeneral Description and Unique Features of this Script
Introducing the Advanced VWAP Momentum-Pullback Strategy (long-only) that offers several unique features:
1. Our script/strategy utilizes Mark Minervini's Trend-Template as a qualifier for identifying stocks and other financial securities in confirmed uptrends. Mark Minervini, a 2x US Investment Champion, developed the Trend-Template, which covers eight different and independent characteristics that can be adjusted and optimized in this trend-following strategy to ensure the best results. The strategy will only trigger buy-signals in case the optimized qualifiers are being met.
2. Our strategy is based on the supply/demand balance in the market, making it timeless and effective across all timeframes. Whether you are day trading using 1- or 5-min charts or swing-trading using daily charts, this strategy can be applied and works very well.
3. We have also integrated technical indicators such as the RSI and the MA / VWAP crossover into this strategy to identify low-risk pullback entries in the context of confirmed uptrends. By doing so, the risk profile of this strategy and drawdowns are being reduced to an absolute minimum.
Minervini’s Trend-Template and the ‘Stage-Analysis’ of the Markets
This strategy is a so-called 'long-only' strategy. This means that we only take long positions, short positions are not considered.
The best market environment for such strategies are periods of stable upward trends in the so-called stage 2 - uptrend.
In stable upward trends, we increase our market exposure and risk.
In sideways markets and downward trends or bear markets, we reduce our exposure very quickly or go 100% to cash and wait for the markets to recover and improve. This allows us to avoid major losses and drawdowns.
This simple rule gives us a significant advantage over most undisciplined traders and amateurs!
'The Trend is your Friend'. This is a very old but true quote.
What's behind it???
• 98% of stocks made their biggest gains in a Phase 2 upward trend.
• If a stock is in a stable uptrend, this is evidence that larger institutions are buying the stock sustainably.
• By focusing on stocks that are in a stable uptrend, the chances of profit are significantly increased.
• In a stable uptrend, investors know exactly what to expect from further price developments. This makes it possible to locate low-risk entry points.
The goal is not to buy at the lowest price – the goal is to buy at the right price!
Each stock goes through the same maturity cycle – it starts at stage 1 and ends at stage 4
Stage 1 – Neglect Phase – Consolidation
Stage 2 – Progressive Phase – Accumulation
Stage 3 – Topping Phase – Distribution
Stage 4 – Downtrend – Capitulation
This strategy focuses on identifying stocks in confirmed stage 2 uptrends. This in itself gives us an advantage over long-term investors and less professional traders.
By focusing on stocks in a stage 2 uptrend, we avoid losses in downtrends (stage 4) or less profitable consolidation phases (stages 1 and 3). We are fully invested and put our money to work for us, and we are fully invested when stocks are in their stage 2 uptrends.
But how can we use technical chart analysis to find stocks that are in a stable stage 2 uptrend?
Mark Minervini has developed the so-called 'trend template' for this purpose. This is an essential part of our JS-TechTrading pullback strategy. For our watchlists, only those individual values that meet the tough requirements of Minervini's trend template are eligible.
The Trend Template
• 200d MA increasing over a period of at least 1 month, better 4-5 months or longer
• 150d MA above 200d MA
• 50d MA above 150d MA and 200d MA
• Course above 50d MA, 150d MA and 200d MA
• Ideally, the 50d MA is increasing over at least 1 month
• Price at least 25% above the 52w low
• Price within 25% of 52w high
• High relative strength according to IBD.
NOTE: In this basic version of the script, the Trend-Template has to be used as a separate indicator on TradingView (Public Trend-Template indicators are available in TradingView – community scripts). It is recommended to only execute buy signals in case the stock or financial security is in a stage 2 uptrend, which means that the criteria of the trend-template are fulfilled.
This strategy can be applied to all timeframes from 5 min to daily.
The VWAP Momentum-Pullback Strategy
For the JS-TechTrading VWAP Momentum-Pullback Strategy, only stocks and other financial instruments that meet the selected criteria of Mark Minervini's trend template are recommended for algorithmic trading with this startegy.
A further prerequisite for generating a buy signals is that the individual value is in a short-term oversold state (RSI).
When the selling pressure is over and the continuation of the uptrend can be confirmed by the MA / VWAP crossover after reaching a price low, a buy signal is issued by this strategy.
Stop-loss limits and profit targets can be set variably. You also have the option to make use of the trailing stop exit strategy.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a technical indicator developed by Welles Wilder in 1978. The RSI is used to perform a market value analysis and identify the strength of a trend as well as overbought and oversold conditions. The indicator is calculated on a scale from 0 to 100 and shows how much an asset has risen or fallen relative to its own price in recent periods.
The RSI is calculated as the ratio of average profits to average losses over a certain period of time. A high value of the RSI indicates an overbought situation, while a low value indicates an oversold situation. Typically, a value > 70 is considered an overbought threshold and a value < 30 is considered an oversold threshold. A value above 70 signals that a single value may be overvalued and a decrease in price is likely , while a value below 30 signals that a single value may be undervalued and an increase in price is likely.
For example, let's say you're watching a stock XYZ. After a prolonged falling movement, the RSI value of this stock has fallen to 26. This means that the stock is oversold and that it is time for a potential recovery. Therefore, a trader might decide to buy this stock in the hope that it will rise again soon.
The MA / VWAP Crossover Trading Strategy
This strategy combines two popular technical indicators: the Moving Average (MA) and the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). The MA VWAP crossover strategy is used to identify potential trend reversals and entry/exit points in the market.
The VWAP is calculated by taking the average price of an asset for a given period, weighted by the volume traded at each price level. The MA, on the other hand, is calculated by taking the average price of an asset over a specified number of periods. When the MA crosses above the VWAP, it suggests that buying pressure is increasing, and it may be a good time to enter a long position. When the MA crosses below the VWAP, it suggests that selling pressure is increasing, and it may be a good time to exit a long position or enter a short position.
Traders typically use the MA VWAP crossover strategy in conjunction with other technical indicators and fundamental analysis to make more informed trading decisions. As with any trading strategy, it is important to carefully consider the risks and potential rewards before making any trades.
This strategy is applicable to all timeframes and the relevant parameters for the underlying indicators (RSI and MA/VWAP) can be adjusted and optimized as needed.
Backtesting
Backtesting gives outstanding results on all timeframes and drawdowns can be reduced to a minimum level. In this example, the hourly chart for MCFT has been used.
Settings for backtesting are:
- Period from Jan 2020 until March 2023
- Starting capital 100k USD
- Position size = 25% of equity
- 0.01% commission = USD 2.50.- per Trade
- Slippage = 2 ticks
Other comments
- This strategy has been designed to identify the most promising, highest probability entries and trades for each stock or other financial security.
- The combination of the Trend-Template and the RSI qualifiers results in a highly selective strategy which only considers the most promising swing-trading entries. As a result, you will normally only find a low number of trades for each stock or other financial security per year in case you apply this strategy for the daily charts. Shorter timeframes will result in a higher number of trades / year.
- Consequently, traders need to apply this strategy for a full watchlist rather than just one financial security.
8 Day Run - Momentum StrategyInspired by Linda Bradford Raschke.
Entry criteria:
This strategy is used to capture momentum effects on the daily periodicities. Once prices have had a run of 8 or more consecutive closes above or below the 5-period simple moving average the strategy is primed to trade.
It will then enter a short on the first close above the 5sma after a run of 8 or more closes below the 5sma (it will enter a long when the price closes below the 5sma after a run of 8 or more closes above the 5sma).
Exit criteria:
All trades are exited on the first close back above/ below the 5sma.
Support Resistance with Breaks and RetestsThe Break and Retest indicator strives to provide a visual aid for spotting areas of continuation and pullbacks. Support and resistance levels are drawn out automatically and have sequential conditions in place to determine a breakout following an eventual retest. Additionally, there are methods in place that try and detect liquidation events and still output a retest.
Although there are options to adjust repaint settings, "potential labels" are structured in a way to detect live ongoing retest events and therefore will be the only thing in the script that will be forced to repaint.
🔳 Settings
Lookback Range: Lookback period to trigger a new support/resistance level when pivot conditions are met.
Bars Since Breakout: How many bars since breakout in order to detect a retest.
Retest Detection Limiter: Whenever a potential retest is detected, the indicator knows that a retest is about to happen. In that given situation, this input grants the ability to raise the limit on how many bars are allowed to be actively checked while a potential retest event is active. For example, if you see the potential retest label, how many bars do you want that potential retest label to be active for to eventually confirm a retest?
🔳 Repaint Options
By default, the break and retest system uses the current close value to determine a condition. (Repaints by default)
On: Allows repainting
Off - Bar Confirmation: Prevents repainting and generates alerts when the bar closes. (1 candle later)
Off - High & Low: Prevents repainting, but in return utilizes both the high and low values instead of the close which may yield a higher outcome and inaccurate results.
🔳 How it works
In the background, calculations aren't searching for the perfect retest within the zone but instead focuses its attention towards price fluctuation around the zones. This allows the indicator to yield more results than it would otherwise.
The chart below provides an example of how potential retests are established. These are updated constantly until a retest is confirmed, and deleted if not. If a potential retest is active and the next candle drops below the value when the potential retest was detected, a retest is placed..
🔳 Alerts
Morning Option Pullback IndicatorI designed this indicator to help me identify Option CALL and PUT signals for the QQQ and SPY on the 1 min chart.
Summary of how it works
1. It identifies the Pre-Market channel High and Low and draws green and red lines for the day at these levels.
2. Waits for a morning or afternoon sessions breakout/breakdown of price out of that channel.
3. The buy a CALL or PUT signal is when price pulls back to the EMA Medium line after breaking out of the channel.
4. Settings allow adjusting of when the signal happens
5. EMA Short (5) and EMA Medium (20) must stay apart for a selectable number of bars
6. For a CALL signal, the Price and EMA Medium (20) must be above the Pre Market High line when price pulls back to EMA Medium (20) line
7. There is a selectable adjustment to allow the signal to trigger when the price comes within a close enough range of the EMA Medium and PM High lines
8. There is a TICK.US filter that you can use to only signal a CALL when the TICK.US 10 min chart shows the average of the EMA5 and EMA20 is over 100
9. It has Buy and Sell signal Alerts and user adjustable Stop Loss and Profit Taker settings.
10. EMA Settings are adjustable and can show up to 3 EMA's on the chart. I personally like the EMA5 and 20. Others may use something similar like 9 and 21. It's user selectable.
Ma PullbackThis indicator is based on ema band....
condition for buy =>
1) price should crossover ema band
2) price pullback on ema band but price should not close below lower band
3)after pullback green candle should close above ema band
4)check candle size when its crossing ema band
5)check previous canlde 7 should not touching cloud so (we can reduce range signal)
condition for sell =>
1) price should crossunder ema band
2) price pullback on ema band but price should not close above upper band
3)after pullback red candle should crossunder ema band
4)check candle size when its crossing ema band
5)check previous canlde 7 should not touching cloud so (we can reduce range signal)
this indicator also for education purpuse how we can make pullback condition....
RSI Pull-BackA pull-back occurs whenever the price or the value of an indicator breaks a line and comes back to test it before continuing in the prevailing trend.
The RSI has oversold and overbought levels such as 20 and 80 and whenever the market breaks them returns to normality, we can await a pull-back to them before the reversal continues.
This indicator shows the following signals:
* A bullish signal is generated whenever the RSI surpasses the chosen oversold level then directly shapes a pull-back to it without breaking it again.
* A bearish signal is generated whenever the RSI breaks the chosen overbought level then directly shapes a pull-back to it without surpassing it again.
Market Crashes/Chart Timeframes HighlightThis extremely helpful indicator allows you to highlight 7 custom date-based timeframes on your charts.
The default dates selected are what I consider to be the most significant 7 most recent market declines, including and since the 87 flash crash.
Note: The default dates are approximate but good enough to highlight the key timeframes of these pullbacks/crashes/corrections.
It's simple to use and does exactly what it should.
I created this indicator to make it easier when looking at the overall story of a chart. I found it helpful to highlight these areas to see how a market or equity has responded during these significant market pullbacks.
The highlight alone I’ve found helpful, and it becomes more powerful if you combine it with your own trusted trade system.
Also, to get the most out of using the default dates it’s important to understand the narrative behind each pullback/crash. Here’s the list of what I consider significant pullbacks:
Black Monday - Oct 87
1990s Recession - Jul 90 to Mar 91
Dot Com Bubble - 2000 to 2002 or so
Real Estate 2008 Crisis - I choose 2007-2009 to cover full insider knowledge and aftermath
2016 - 2018 - This isn't seen as a pullback, but I have it as significant because in many markets and equities, this was an almost equal percentage pullback as 2008. See Notes below
2020 Crash - Covid-19 and related shenanigans pullback
April 2021 to August 2022 - I believe we are in a current SHORT cycle so I've highlighted April 2021 as the start of what might be the start of a major decline testing Dot Com or lower levels.
A few notes on the above.
You'll find on most of the pullbacks listed above most equities and related markets behave similarly or have similar patterns.
The 2016-18 pullback is the most difficult to track. For instance, GE in this timeframe had a -80% decline, whereas BA depending on how you want to measure it had a 50-110% gain.
M0PB (Momentum Pullback)Long/short strategy that identifies extreme readings on the rsi as a *momentum signal*, unlike most RSI strategies the script will look to buy or sell the first pullback in the direction of the extreme RSI reading.
Enters positions on the first pullback to the 5ema(low)/ 5ema(high) and exits at rolling 12 bar high/ low. The rolling high/ low feature means that if the price enters into a prolonged consolidation the profit target will begin to reduce with each new bar. The best trades tend to work within 2-6 bars.
Built for use on 5 min intervals on FX, Indexes, and Crypto. Lower than 5 minute time frames tend to be noisier and mean more commissions and a higher risk of slippage so the suggested timeframe is 5 mins.
Hard stop is X ATR (users can experiment with this) from the position entry price. This can be adjusted in user inputs.
There is a lot of slack left in entries and exits but the overall strategy is fairly robust across timeframes and markets and has between 60%-70% win rate with larger winners.
Signals that occur from economic news volatility are best avoided.
