Lowess Channel + (RSI) [ChartPrime]The Lowess Channel + (RSI) indicator applies the LOWESS (Locally Weighted Scatterplot Smoothing) algorithm to filter price fluctuations and construct a dynamic channel. LOWESS is a non-parametric regression method that smooths noisy data by fitting weighted linear regressions at localized segments. This technique is widely used in statistical analysis to reveal trends while preserving data structure.
In this indicator, the LOWESS algorithm is used to create a central trend line and deviation-based bands. The midline changes color based on trend direction, and diamonds are plotted when a trend shift occurs. Additionally, an RSI gauge is positioned at the end of the channel to display the current RSI level in relation to the price bands.

Williams Fractals Ultimate (Donchian Adjusted)Williams Fractals Ultimate (Donchian Adjusted)
Understanding Williams Fractals
Williams Fractals are a simple yet powerful tool used to identify potential turning points in the market. They highlight local highs (up fractals) and local lows (down fractals) based on a set period.
An up fractal appears when a price peak is higher than the surrounding prices.
A down fractal appears when a price low is lower than the surrounding prices.
Fractals help traders spot support and resistance levels, potential trend reversals, and price breakout zones.
Why Adjust Fractals with the Donchian Channel?
The standard Williams Fractals method identifies local highs and lows without considering broader market context. This script enhances fractal accuracy by integrating the Donchian Channel, which tracks the highest highs and lowest lows over a set period.
- The Donchian Baseline is calculated as the average of the highest high and lowest low over a selected period.
- Fractals are filtered based on this baseline:
Up Fractals are only shown if they are above the Donchian baseline.
Down Fractals are only shown if they are below the Donchian baseline.
This filtering method removes weak signals and ensures that only relevant fractals aligned with market structure are displayed.
Key Features of the Script
Customizable Fractal & Donchian Periods – Allows traders to fine-tune fractal sensitivity.
Donchian-Based Filtering – Reduces noise and highlights meaningful fractals.
Fractal ZigZag Line (Optional) – Helps visualize price swings more clearly.
Why Is This So Effective?
Stronger trend signals – Filtering with the Donchian baseline eliminates unreliable fractals.
Clearer price action – The optional ZigZag line visually connects significant highs and lows.
Easy trend identification – Helps traders confirm breakout zones and key price levels.

Quarterly Theory ICT 03 [TradingFinder] Precision Swing Points🔵 Introduction
Precision Swing Point (PSP) is a divergence pattern in the closing of candles between two correlated assets, which can indicate a potential trend reversal. This structure appears at market turning points and highlights discrepancies between the price behavior of two related assets.
PSP typically forms in key timeframes such as 5-minute, 15-minute, and 90-minute charts, and is often used in combination with Smart Money Concepts (SMT) to confirm trade entries.
PSP is categorized into Bearish PSP and Bullish PSP :
Bearish PSP : Occurs when an asset breaks its previous high, and its middle candle closes bullish, while the correlated asset closes bearish at the same level. This divergence signals weakness in the uptrend and a potential price reversal downward.
Bullish PSP : Occurs when an asset breaks its previous low, and its middle candle closes bearish, while the correlated asset closes bullish at the same level. This suggests weakness in the downtrend and a potential price increase.
🟣 Trading Strategies Using Precision Swing Point (PSP)
PSP can be integrated into various trading strategies to improve entry accuracy and filter out false signals. One common method is combining PSP with SMT (divergence between correlated assets), where traders identify divergence and enter a trade only after PSP confirms the move.
Additionally, PSP can act as a liquidity gap, meaning that price tends to react to the wick of the PSP candle, making it a favorable entry point with a tight stop-loss and high risk-to-reward ratio. Furthermore, PSP combined with Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps in higher timeframes allows traders to identify stronger reversal zones.
In lower timeframes, such as 5-minute or 15-minute charts, PSP can serve as a confirmation for more precise entries in the direction of the higher timeframe trend. This is particularly useful in scalping and intraday trading, helping traders execute smarter entries while minimizing unnecessary stop-outs.
🔵 How to Use
PSP is a trading pattern based on divergence in candle closures between two correlated assets. This divergence signals a difference in trend strength and can be used to identify precise market turning points. PSP is divided into Bullish PSP and Bearish PSP, each applicable for long and short trades.
🟣 Bullish PSP
A Bullish PSP forms when, at a market turning point, the middle candle of one asset closes bearish while the correlated asset closes bullish. This discrepancy indicates weakness in the downtrend and a potential price reversal upward.
Traders can use this as a signal for long (buy) trades. The best approach is to wait for price to return to the wick of the PSP candle, as this area typically acts as a liquidity level.
f PSP forms within an Order Block or Fair Value Gap in a higher timeframe, its reliability increases, allowing for entries with tight stop-loss and optimal risk-to-reward ratios.
🟣 Bearish PSP
A Bearish PSP forms when, at a market turning point, the middle candle of one asset closes bullish while the correlated asset closes bearish. This indicates weakness in the uptrend and a potential price decline.
Traders use this pattern to enter short (sell) trades. The best entry occurs when price retests the wick of the PSP candle, as this level often acts as a resistance zone, pushing price lower.
If PSP aligns with a significant liquidity area or Order Block in a higher timeframe, traders can enter with greater confidence and place their stop-loss just above the PSP wick.
Overall, PSP is a highly effective tool for filtering false signals and improving trade entry precision. Combining PSP with SMT, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps across multiple timeframes allows traders to execute higher-accuracy trades with lower risk.
🔵 Settings
Mode :
2 Symbol : Identifies PSP and PCP between two correlated assets.
3 Symbol : Compares three assets to detect more complex divergences and stronger confirmation signals.
Second Symbol : The second asset used in PSP and correlation calculations.
Third Symbol : Used in three-symbol mode for deeper PSP and PCP analysis.
Filter Precision X Point : Enables or disables filtering for more precise PSP and PCP detection. This filter only identifies PSP and PCP when the base asset's candle qualifies as a Pin Bar.
Trend Effect : By changing the Trend Effect status to "Off," all Pin bars, whether bullish or bearish, are displayed regardless of the current market trend. If the status remains "On," only Pin bars in the direction of the main market trend are shown.
Bullish Pin Bar Setting : Using the "Ratio Lower Shadow to Body" and "Ratio Lower Shadow to Higher Shadow" settings, you can customize your bullish Pin bar candles. Larger numbers impose stricter conditions for identifying bullish Pin bars.
Bearish Pin Bar Setting : Using the "Ratio Higher Shadow to Body" and "Ratio Higher Shadow to Lower Shadow" settings, you can customize your bearish Pin bar candles. Larger numbers impose stricter conditions for identifying bearish Pin bars.
🔵 Conclusion
Precision Swing Point (PSP) is a powerful analytical tool in Smart Money trading strategies, helping traders identify precise market turning points by detecting divergences in candle closures between correlated assets. PSP is classified into Bullish PSP and Bearish PSP, each playing a crucial role in detecting trend weaknesses and determining optimal entry points for long and short trades.
Using the PSP wick as a key liquidity level, integrating it with SMT, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps, and analyzing higher timeframes are effective techniques to enhance trade entries. Ultimately, PSP serves as a complementary tool for improving entry accuracy and reducing unnecessary stop-outs, making it a valuable addition to Smart Money trading methodologies.
Rally Base Drop SND Pivots Strategy [LuxAlgo X PineIndicators]This strategy is based on the Rally Base Drop (RBD) SND Pivots indicator developed by LuxAlgo. Full credit for the concept and original indicator goes to LuxAlgo.
The Rally Base Drop SND Pivots Strategy is a non-repainting supply and demand trading system that detects pivot points based on Rally, Base, and Drop (RBD) candles. This strategy automatically identifies key market structure levels, allowing traders to:
Identify pivot-based supply and demand (SND) zones.
Use fixed criteria for trend continuation or reversals.
Filter out market noise by requiring structured price formations.
Enter trades based on breakouts of key SND pivot levels.
How the Rally Base Drop SND Pivots Strategy Works
1. Pivot Point Detection Using RBD Candles
The strategy follows a rigid market structure methodology, where pivots are detected only when:
A Rally (R) consists of multiple consecutive bullish candles.
A Drop (D) consists of multiple consecutive bearish candles.
A Base (B) is identified as a transition between Rallies and Drops, acting as a pivot point.
The pivot level is confirmed when the formation is complete.
Unlike traditional fractal-based pivots, RBD Pivots enforce stricter structural rules, ensuring that each pivot:
Has a well-defined bullish or bearish price movement.
Reduces false signals caused by single-bar fluctuations.
Provides clear supply and demand levels based on structured price movements.
These pivot levels are drawn on the chart using color-coded boxes:
Green zones represent bullish pivot levels (Rally Base formations).
Red zones represent bearish pivot levels (Drop Base formations).
Once a pivot is confirmed, the high or low of the base candle is used as the reference level for future trades.
2. Trade Entry Conditions
The strategy allows traders to select from three trading modes:
Long Only – Only takes long trades when bullish pivot breakouts occur.
Short Only – Only takes short trades when bearish pivot breakouts occur.
Long & Short – Trades in both directions based on pivot breakouts.
Trade entry signals are triggered when price breaks through a confirmed pivot level:
Long Entry:
A bullish pivot level is formed.
Price breaks above the bullish pivot level.
The strategy enters a long position.
Short Entry:
A bearish pivot level is formed.
Price breaks below the bearish pivot level.
The strategy enters a short position.
The strategy includes an optional mode to reverse long and short conditions, allowing traders to experiment with contrarian entries.
3. Exit Conditions Using ATR-Based Risk Management
This strategy uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels:
Stop-Loss (SL): Placed 1 ATR below entry for long trades and 1 ATR above entry for short trades.
Take-Profit (TP): Set using a Risk-Reward Ratio (RR) multiplier (default = 6x ATR).
When a trade is opened:
The entry price is recorded.
ATR is calculated at the time of entry to determine stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Trades exit automatically when either SL or TP is reached.
If reverse conditions mode is enabled, stop-loss and take-profit placements are flipped.
Visualization & Dynamic Support/Resistance Levels
1. Pivot Boxes for Market Structure
Each pivot is marked with a colored box:
Green boxes indicate bullish demand zones.
Red boxes indicate bearish supply zones.
These boxes remain on the chart to act as dynamic support and resistance levels, helping traders identify key price reaction zones.
2. Horizontal Entry, Stop-Loss, and Take-Profit Lines
When a trade is active, the strategy plots:
White line → Entry price.
Red line → Stop-loss level.
Green line → Take-profit level.
Labels display the exact entry, SL, and TP values, updating dynamically as price moves.
Customization Options
This strategy offers multiple adjustable settings to optimize performance for different market conditions:
Trade Mode Selection → Choose between Long Only, Short Only, or Long & Short.
Pivot Length → Defines the number of required Rally & Drop candles for a pivot.
ATR Exit Multiplier → Adjusts stop-loss distance based on ATR.
Risk-Reward Ratio (RR) → Modifies take-profit level relative to risk.
Historical Lookback → Limits how far back pivot zones are displayed.
Color Settings → Customize pivot box colors for bullish and bearish setups.
Considerations & Limitations
Pivot Breakouts Do Not Guarantee Reversals. Some pivot breaks may lead to continuation moves instead of trend reversals.
Not Optimized for Low Volatility Conditions. This strategy works best in trending markets with strong momentum.
ATR-Based Stop-Loss & Take-Profit May Require Optimization. Different assets may require different ATR multipliers and RR settings.
Market Noise May Still Influence Pivots. While this method filters some noise, fake breakouts can still occur.
Conclusion
The Rally Base Drop SND Pivots Strategy is a non-repainting supply and demand system that combines:
Pivot-based market structure analysis (using Rally, Base, and Drop candles).
Breakout-based trade entries at confirmed SND levels.
ATR-based dynamic risk management for stop-loss and take-profit calculation.
This strategy helps traders:
Identify high-probability supply and demand levels.
Trade based on structured market pivots.
Use a systematic approach to price action analysis.
Automatically manage risk with ATR-based exits.
The strict pivot detection rules and built-in breakout validation make this strategy ideal for traders looking to:
Trade based on market structure.
Use defined support & resistance levels.
Reduce noise compared to traditional fractals.
Implement a structured supply & demand trading model.
This strategy is fully customizable, allowing traders to adjust parameters to fit their market and trading style.

Reversals & PullbacksReversals & Pullbacks:
This indicator tries to predict Price reversals and pullbacks.
It works best on the higher timeframes (H4 and D) and was written for currencies but also shows some decent results on Crypto.
Inputs:
- Confirmation: When activated, the indicator waits to print the bullish/bearish signal untill price shows a clear sign of reversal. When not activated, it only looks if it thinks a pullback or reversal is likely to happen without waiting for confirmation. There will be more (false) signals when disabled
- Sensitivity: When set to 0, there will be more (false) signals printed, and when highering this value there will be less signals. The default value is 5 but you can experiment which value works best on what instrument.
- Arrow Distance: can be used to place the arrows further away from price if needed.
Uptrick: Time Based ReversionIntroduction
The Uptrick: Time Based Reversion indicator is designed to provide a comprehensive view of market momentum and potential trend shifts by combining multiple moving averages, a streak-based trend analysis system, and adaptive color visualization. It helps traders identify strong trends, spot potential reversals, and make more informed trading decisions.
Purpose
The primary goal of this indicator is to assist traders in distinguishing between sustained market movements and short-lived fluctuations. By evaluating how price behaves relative to its moving averages, and by measuring consecutive streaks above or below these averages, the indicator highlights areas where trends are likely to continue or lose momentum.
Overview
Uptrick: Time Based Reversion calculates one or more moving averages of price data and then tracks the number of consecutive bars (streaks) above or below these averages. This streak-based detection provides insight into whether a trend is gaining strength or nearing a potential reversal point. The indicator offers:
• Multiple moving average types (SMA, EMA, WMA)
• Optional second and third moving average layers for additional smoothing of first moving average
• A streak detection system to quantify trend intensity
• A dynamic color scheme that changes with streak strength
• Optional buy and sell signals for potential trade entries and exits
• A ribbon mode that applies moving averages to Open, High, Low, and Close prices for a more detailed visualization of overall trend alignment
Originality and Uniqueness
Unlike traditional moving average indicators, Uptrick: Time Based Reversion incorporates a streak measurement system to detect trend strength. This approach helps clarify whether a price movement is merely a quick fluctuation or part of a longer-lasting trend. Additionally, the optional ribbon mode extends this logic to Open, High, Low, and Close prices, creating a layered and intuitive visualization that shows complete trend alignment.
Inputs and Features
1. Enable Ribbon Mode
This input lets you activate or deactivate the ribbon display of multiple moving averages. When enabled, the script plots moving averages for the Open, High, Low, and Close prices and uses color fills to show whether these four data points are collectively above or below their respective moving averages.
2. Color Scheme Selection
Users can choose from several predefined color schemes, such as Default, Emerald, Crimson, Sapphire, Gold, Purple, Teal, Orange, Gray, Lime, or Aqua. Each scheme assigns distinct bullish, bearish and neutral colors..
3. Show Buy/Sell Signals
The indicator can display buy or sell signals based on its streak analysis logic. These signals appear as markers on the chart, indicating a “Safe Uptrend” (buy) or “Safe Downtrend” (sell).
4. Moving Average Types and Lengths
• First MA Type and Length: Choose SMA, EMA, or WMA along with a customizable period.
• Second and Third MA Types and Lengths: You can optionally stack additional moving averages for further smoothing, each with its own customizable type and period.
5. Streak Threshold Multiplier
This numeric input determines how strong a streak must be before the script considers it a “safe” trend. A higher multiplier requires a longer or more intense streak for a buy or sell signal.
6. Dynamic Transparency Calculation
The color intensity adapts to the streak’s strength. Longer streaks increase the transparency of the opposing color, making the current dominant color stand out. This feature ensures that a vigorous uptrend or downtrend is visually distinct from short-lived or weaker moves.
7. Ribbon Moving Averages
In ribbon mode, the script calculates moving averages for the Open, High, Low, and Close prices. Each of these is optionally smoothed again if the second and/or third moving average layers are active. The final result is a ribbon of moving averages that helps confirm whether the market is uniformly aligned above or below these key reference points.
Calculation Methodology
1. Initial Moving Average
The script calculates the first moving average (SMA, EMA, or WMA) of the closing price over a user-defined period.
2. Optional Secondary and Tertiary Averages
If selected, the script then applies a second and/or third smoothing step. Each of these steps can be a different type of moving average (SMA, EMA, or WMA) with its own period length.
3. Streak Detection
The indicator counts consecutive bars above or below the smoothed moving average. A running total (streakUp or streakDown) increments with every bar that remains above or below that average.
4. Reversion Intensity
The script compares the current streak value to its own average (calculated over the final chosen period). This ratio determines whether the streak is nearing a likely reversion or is strong enough to continue.
5. Color Assignment and Signals
The indicator calculates color transparency based on streak intensity. Buy and sell signals appear when the streak meets or exceeds the threshold multiplier, indicating a safe uptrend or downtrend.
Color Schemes and Visualization
This indicator offers multiple predefined color sets. Each scheme specifies a unique bullish color, bearish color and neutral color. The script automatically varies transparency to highlight strong trends and fade weaker ones, making it visually clear when a trend is intensifying or losing momentum.
Smoothing Techniques
By allowing up to three layers of moving average smoothing, the indicator accommodates different trading styles. A single layer provides faster reactions to market changes, while more layers reduce noise at the cost of slower responsiveness. Traders can choose the right balance between responsiveness and stability for their strategy, whether it is short-term scalping or long-term trend following.
Why It Combines Specific Smoothing Techniques
The Uptrick: Time Based Reversion indicator strategically combines specific smoothing techniques—SMA, EMA, and WMA—to leverage their complementary strengths. The SMA provides stable and consistent trend identification by equally weighting all data points, while the EMA emphasizes recent price movements, allowing quicker responses to market changes. WMA enhances sensitivity to recent price shifts, which helps in detecting subtle momentum changes early. By integrating these methods in layers, the indicator effectively balances responsiveness with stability, helping traders clearly identify genuine trend changes while filtering out short-term noise and false signals.
Ribbon Mode
If Open, High, Low, and Close prices remain above or below their respective moving averages consistently, the script colors the bars fully bullish or bearish. When the data points are mixed, a neutral color is applied. This mode provides a thorough perspective on whether the entire price range is aligned in one direction or showing conflicting signals.
Summary
Uptrick: Time Based Reversion combines multiple moving averages, streak detection, and dynamic color adjustments to help traders identify significant trends and potential reversal areas. Its flexibility allows it to be used either in a simpler form, with one moving average and streak analysis, or in a more advanced configuration with ribbon mode that charts multiple smoothed averages for a deeper understanding of price alignment. By adapting color intensities based on streak strength and providing optional buy/sell signals, this indicator delivers a clear and flexible tool suited to various trading strategies.
Disclaimer
This indicator is designed as an analysis aid and does not guarantee profitable trades. Past performance does not indicate future success, and market conditions can change unexpectedly. Users are advised to employ proper risk management and thoroughly evaluate trades before taking positions. Use this indicator as part of a broader strategy, not as a sole decision-making tool.
Heikin-Ashi Reversals with Region & DotsIf you want to use Heiken Ashi candles as a way to screen for bullish and bearish reversal.
Green background is stay long and strong. Red background = potential top or bearish continuation.

MTF Round Level Reversal [RunRox]🧲 MTF Round Level Reversal is an indicator designed to highlight price levels on the chart where the market encountered significant resistance or support at round numbers, failing to break through large clusters of orders.
In many cases, price revisits these round-number levels to absorb the remaining liquidity, offering potential reversal or continuation trade opportunities.
✏️ EXAMPLE
Here’s an example demonstrating how this indicator works and how its logic is structured:
As shown in the screenshot above, price encountered resistance at round-number levels, clearly reacting off these areas.
Afterward, the market pulled back, presenting opportunities to enter trades targeting these previously established open levels.
This logic is based on the observation that price often seeks to revisit these open round-number levels due to the residual liquidity resting there.
While effective across various markets, this indicator performs particularly well with stocks or assets priced at higher values.
For a level to appear on the chart, price must first encounter a round-number value and clearly reverse from it, leaving a visible reaction on the chart. After this occurs, the indicator will mark this level as fully formed and display it as an active reversal area.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔷 Timeframe – Choose any timeframe from which you’d like the indicator to source level data.
🔷 Period – Defines the number of candles required on both sides (left and right) to confirm and fully form a level.
🔷 Rounding Level – Adjusts price rounding precision when detecting levels (from 0.0001 up to 5000).
🔷 Color – Customize the color and transparency of displayed levels.
🔷 Line Style – Select the desired line style for level visualization.

🔷 Delete Filled Level – Automatically removes levels from the chart after they’ve been revisited or filled.
🔷 Calculation Bars – Determines the number of recent bars considered when calculating and identifying levels.
🔶 There are numerous ways to apply this indicator in your trading strategy. You can look for trades targeting these round-number levels or identify reversal setups forming at these high-liquidity zones. The key insight is understanding that these levels represent significant liquidity areas, which price frequently revisits and retests.
We greatly appreciate your feedback and suggestions to further improve and enhance this indicator!
Percentage Based ZigZag█ OVERVIEW
The Percentage-Based ZigZag indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed to highlight significant price reversals while filtering out market noise. Unlike many standard zigzag tools that rely solely on fixed price moves or generic trend-following methods, this indicator uses a configurable percentage threshold to dynamically determine meaningful pivot points. This approach not only adapts to different market conditions but also helps traders distinguish between minor fluctuations and truly significant trend shifts—whether scalping on shorter timeframes or analyzing longer-term trends.
█ KEY FEATURES & ORIGINALITY
Dynamic Pivot Detection
The indicator identifies pivot points by measuring the percentage change from the previous extreme (high or low). Only when this change exceeds a user-defined threshold is a new pivot recognized. This method ensures that only substantial moves are considered, making the indicator robust in volatile or noisy markets.
Enhanced ZigZag Visualization
By connecting significant highs and lows with a continuous line, the indicator creates a clear visual map of price swings. Each pivot point is labelled with the corresponding price and the percentage change from the previous pivot, providing immediate quantitative insight into the magnitude of the move.
Trend Reversal Projections
In addition to marking completed reversals, the script computes and displays potential future reversal points based on the current trend’s momentum. This forecasting element gives traders an advanced look at possible turning points, which can be particularly useful for short-term scalping strategies.
Customizable Visual Settings
Users can tailor the appearance by:
• Setting the percentage threshold to control sensitivity.
• Customizing colors for bullish (e.g., green) and bearish (e.g., red) reversals.
• Enabling optional background color changes that visually indicate the prevailing trend.
█ UNDERLYING METHODOLOGY & CALCULATIONS
Percentage-Based Filtering
The script continuously monitors price action and calculates the relative percentage change from the last identified pivot. A new pivot is confirmed only when the price moves a preset percentage away from this pivot, ensuring that minor fluctuations do not trigger false signals.
Pivot Point Logic
The indicator tracks the highest high and the lowest low since the last pivot. When the price reverses by the required percentage from these extremes, the algorithm:
1 — Labels the point as a significant high or low.
2 — Draws a connecting line from the previous pivot to the current one.
3 — Resets the extreme-tracking for detecting the next move.
Real-Time Reversal Estimation
Building on traditional zigzag methods, the script incorporates a projection calculation. By analyzing the current trend’s strength and recent percentage moves, it estimates where a future reversal might occur, offering traders actionable foresight.
█ HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
1 — Apply the Indicator
• Add the Percentage-Based ZigZag indicator to your trading chart.
2 — Adjust Settings for Your Market
• Percentage Move – Set a threshold that matches your trading style:
- Lower values for sensitive, high-frequency analysis (ideal for scalping).
- Higher values for filtering out noise on longer timeframes.
• Visual Customization – Choose your preferred colors for bullish and bearish signals and enable background color changes for visual trend cues.
• Reversal Projection – Enable or disable the projection feature to display potential upcoming reversal points.
3 — Interpret the Signals
• ZigZag Lines – White lines trace significant high-to-low or low-to-high movements, visually connecting key swing points.
• Pivot Labels – Each pivot is annotated with the exact price level and percentage change, providing quantitative insight into market momentum.
• Trend Projections – When enabled, projected reversal levels offer insight into where the current trend might change.
4 — Integrate with Your Trading Strategy
• Use the indicator to identify support and resistance zones derived from significant pivots.
• Combine the quantitative data (percentage changes) with your risk management strategy to set optimal stop-loss and take-profit levels.
• Experiment with different threshold settings to adapt the indicator for various instruments or market conditions.
█ CONCLUSION
The Percentage-Based ZigZag indicator goes beyond traditional trend-following tools by filtering out market noise and providing clear, quantifiable insights into price action. With its percentage threshold for pivot detection and real-time reversal projections, this original methodology and customizable feature set offer traders a versatile edge for making informed trading decisions.

The KDE % is a crucial metric that reflects the likelihood that the current candlestick represents a true break in the SuperTrend line, supported by an increase in relative volume. It estimates the probability of a trend shift or continuation based on historical SuperTrend breaks and volume patterns:
Low KDE %: A lower probability that the current break is significant. Price action is less likely to reverse, and the trend may continue.
Moderate KDE - High KDE %: An increased possibility that a trend reversal or consolidation could occur. Traders should start watching for confirmation signals.
📌How Does It Work?
The SuperTrend indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) to determine the direction of the trend and identifies when the price crosses the SuperTrend line, signaling a potential trend reversal. Here's how the KDE Optimized SuperTrend Indicator works:
SuperTrend Calculation: The SuperTrend indicator is calculated, and when the price breaks above (bullish) or below (bearish) the SuperTrend line, it is logged as a significant event.
Relative Volume: For each break in the SuperTrend line, we calculate the relative volume (current volume vs. the average volume over a defined period). High relative volume can suggest stronger confirmation of the trend break.
KDE Array Calculation: KDE is applied to the break points and relative volume data:
Define the KDE options: Bandwidth, Number of Steps, and Array Range (Array Max - Array Min).
Create a density range array using the defined number of steps, corresponding to potential break points.
Apply a Gaussian kernel function to the break points and volume data to estimate the likelihood of the trend break being significant.
KDE Value and Signal Generation: The KDE array is updated as each break occurs. The KDE % is calculated for the breakout candlestick, representing the likelihood of the trend break being significant. If the KDE value exceeds the defined activation threshold, a darker bullish or bearish arrow is plotted after bar confirmation. If the KDE value falls below the threshold, a more transparent arrow is drawn, indicating a possible but lower probability break.
⚙️Settings:
SuperTrend Settings:
ATR Length: The period over which the Average True Range (ATR) is calculated.
Multiplier: The multiplier applied to the ATR to determine the SuperTrend threshold.
KDE Settings:
Bandwidth: Determines the smoothness of the KDE function and the width of the influence of each break point.
Number of Bins (Steps): Defines the precision of the KDE algorithm, with higher values offering more detailed calculations.
KDE Threshold %: The level at which relative volume is considered significant for confirming a break.
Relative Volume Length: The number of historic candles used in calculating KDE %
Gradient Trend Filter [ChartPrime]The Gradient Trend Filter is a dynamic trend analysis tool that combines a noise-filtered trend detection system with a color-gradient cloud. It provides traders with a visual representation of trend strength, momentum shifts, and potential reversals.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Trend Noise Filtering
Uses an advanced smoothing function to filter market noise and produce a more reliable trend representation.
// Noise filter function
noise_filter(src, length) =>
alpha = 2 / (length + 1)
nf_1 = 0.0
nf_2 = 0.0
nf_3 = 0.0
nf_1 := (alpha * src) + ((1 - alpha) * nz(nf_1 ))
nf_2 := (alpha * nf_1) + ((1 - alpha) * nz(nf_2 ))
nf_3 := (alpha * nf_2) + ((1 - alpha) * nz(nf_3 ))
nf_3 // Final output with three-stage smoothing
Color-Based Trend Visualization
The mid-line changes color based on trend direction—green for uptrends and red for downtrends—making it easy to identify trends at a glance.
Orange diamond markers appear when a trend shift is confirmed, providing actionable signals for traders.
Gradient Color Trend Cloud
A cloud around the base trend line that dynamically changes color, often signaling trend shifts ahead of the main trend line.
When in a downtrend, if the cloud starts turning green, it suggests weakening bearish momentum or an upcoming bullish reversal. Conversely, when in an uptrend, a red cloud indicates potential trend weakening or a bearish reversal.
Multi-Layered Trend Bands
The cloud consists of multiple bands, offering a range of support and resistance zones that traders can use for confluence in decision-making.
⯁ HOW TO USE
Identify Trend Strength & Reversals
Use the mid-line and cloud color changes to assess the strength of a trend and spot early signs of reversals.
Monitor Momentum Shifts
Watch for gradient cloud color shifts before the trend line changes color, as this can indicate early weakening or strengthening of momentum.
Act on Trend Shift Markers
Use the orange diamonds as confirmation of trend shifts and potential trade entry or exit points.
Utilize Cloud Bands as Support/Resistance
The outer bands of the cloud act as dynamic support and resistance, helping traders refine their stop-loss and take-profit placements.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The Gradient Trend Filter is an advanced trend detection tool designed for traders looking to anticipate trend shifts with greater precision. By integrating a noise-filtered trend line with a gradient-based trend cloud, this indicator enhances traders' ability to navigate market trends effectively.
Volatility Price FlowCapitalize on market volatility with our new volatility price flow indicator. We have designed this indicator to process historical price movements and indicate when price may have reached exhaustion in the context of current volatility.
This is achieved by taking the price deviation from a user defined moving average, and applying a weighting to the deviations from the candle body and candle wick on both buy side and sell side, over a user defined period. The period of the base moving average, type of moving average and the period of the historical price deviations can all be modified. This creates a typical 'band' style indicator, though with a unique characteristic that the buy and sell side vary independently as well as the band expansion being based on weighted variables tied to the actual price changes, rather than just a standard deviation the moves uniformly.
Additionally, these bands can be merged with an anchored vwap - we do this so that the deviations of price from the moving average can include a more volume based approach to identifying potential pivots.
The end result is an indicator that reflects the current market price movements, identifies and capitalizes on impulsive or beginning moves to indicate potential tops / bottoms / reversals.
The signals are simple - anytime price closes within a band, having been outside the band, a signal is displayed. As a basic guide to setting the indicator up for the first time, we suggest reducing all of the multipliers to a value less than 1. Then gradually increase each one, until the signals reduce in quantity and improve in quality, starting with the price deviation multiplier, then the volatility multiplier and finally the expansion multiplier.
Last of all, alerts can be created based on the current chart timeframe and indicator settings, simply by adding an alert that uses the built in buy or sell signal.
Note: We cannot guarantee the accuracy of the signals provided, since the user creates the signals by modifying the settings, and as such we can take no responsibility for any trading losses incurred using the indicator and highly encourage all users to manage their risk and only risk what you can afford to lose.
Trending Market Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The Trending Market Toolkit focuses exclusively on trending market structures and high-confluence, high-risk-to-reward entry models. It is designed to complement discretionary trading by offering different entry strategies based on market structure.
🔶 USAGE
In the chart above we can see how the tool detects several reversals, draws the broken trendlines, the reversal areas from which the tool starts looking for a trigger, and when it finally happens, a potential trade with risk and reward areas and the risk/reward ratio.
🔹 Detection Mode
Traders can choose between three different modes: trend only, reversal only, or both.
If both are active, reversals have priority over trends, so the tool will not detect a trend if a reversal is active.
In the chart above we can see all three modes.
🔹 Detection on Higher Timeframes
Traders can choose to identify structures on the chart timeframe or on a higher timeframe.
In the chart above, we have the SP500 futures on the 5m timeframe with different settings: chart timeframe, 30m, and 1H.
🔹 Risk And Targets
Depending on whether the high-risk/reward parameter is enabled, traders can choose between three different targets and two different stops.
The chart above shows how different choices affect the risk/reward ratio for the same potential trade on the Gold Futures 2m chart.
🔶 SETTINGS
Show: Traders can choose between Trends, Reversals or Both.
🔹 Structures
Swing Length: Number of candles to confirm a swing high or swing low. A higher number detects larger swings.
Custom Timeframe: Traders can make use of the current chart timeframe, or choose a custom timeframe.
Reversal Area Threshold: A higher number increases the reversal area.
🔹 Trades
Trade Trigger Length: Number of candles to confirm an internal high or internal low. A lower number detects smaller swings. It must be the same size or smaller than the swing length.
Target: Traders can choose between the default target (0) or two extended targets (0.27 or 0.618).
Risk to Reward Threshold: Set the minimum risk-to-reward ratio to detect trades. Use the 0 value to detect all trades.
High Risk to Reward: Enable/Disable the high risk to reward mode.
Chaikin Money Flow with Moving AverageThis indicator combines the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) with a moving average, helping traders analyze buying/selling pressure and whether it's increasing or decreasing.
What It Does:
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) developed by Marc Chaikin is a volume-weighted average of accumulation and distribution over a specified period.
A moving average is applied to CMF to reduce noise and smooth trends, making it easier to identify sustained market sentiment shifts.
How to Use It?
CMF helps confirm trend strength and potential reversals. We reduces false signals from CMF by smoothing fluctuations and making it easier to spot trends.
A CMF value above zero is a sign of strength, and a value below zero is a sign of weakness.
A rising price with a falling CMF (below moving average) is a bearish divergence and a possible reversal of the uptrend.
Similarly, a falling price with a rising CMF (above moving average) is a bullish divergence and again signals a possible reversal of the downtrend.
Configurable Parameters:
CMF Length: Adjusts how many periods are used for CMF calculation.
MA Type: Choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, or T3 for smoothing.
MA Length: Controls how much smoothing is applied.
This tool is great for traders looking to improve volume-based trend analysis while filtering out short-term noise.
[SHORT ONLY] 10 Bar Low Pullback█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "10 Bar Low Pullback" strategy is a contrarian short trading system designed to capture pullbacks after a new 10‐bar low is made. it identifies a potential short opportunity when the current bar’s low breaks below the lowest low of the previous 10 bars, provided that the bar exhibits strong internal momentum as measured by its IBS value. An optional trend filter further refines entries by requiring that the close is below a 200-period EMA.
█ WHAT IS INTERNAL BAR STRENGTH (IBS)?
Internal Bar Strength (IBS) measures where the closing price falls within the high-low range of a bar. It is calculated as:
ibs = (close - low) / (high - low)
- Low IBS (≤ 0.2): Indicates the close is near the bar's low, suggesting oversold conditions.
- High IBS (≥ 0.8): Indicates the close is near the bar's high, suggesting overbought conditions.

The optional EMA filter helps align trades with broader market trends, potentially reducing false signals.
Backtesting is recommended to fine-tune the ATR multiplier, smoothing period, and EMA settings to match the volatility and behavior of specific markets.
[SHORT ONLY] Consecutive Bars Above MA Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "Consecutive Bars Above MA Strategy" is a contrarian trading system aimed at exploiting overextended bullish moves in stocks and ETFs. It monitors the number of consecutive bars that close above a chosen short-term moving average (which can be either a Simple Moving Average or an Exponential Moving Average). Once the count reaches a preset threshold and the current bar’s close exceeds the previous bar’s high within a designated trading window, a short entry is initiated. An optional EMA filter further refines entries by requiring that the current close is below the 200-period EMA, helping to ensure that trades are taken in a bearish environment.
█ HOW ARE THE CONSECUTIVE BULLISH COUNTS CALCULATED?
The strategy utilizes a counter variable, `bullCount`, to track consecutive bullish bars based on their relation to the short-term moving average. Here’s how the count is determined:
Initialize the Counter
The counter is initialized at the start:
var int bullCount = na
Bullish Bar Detection
For each bar, if the close is above the selected moving average (either SMA or EMA, based on user input), the counter is incremented:
bullCount := close > signalMa ? (na(bullCount) ? 1 : bullCount + 1) : 0
Reset on Non-Bullish Condition
If the close does not exceed the moving average, the counter resets to zero, indicating a break in the consecutive bullish streak.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. SHORT ENTRY
A short signal is generated when:
The number of consecutive bullish bars (i.e., bars closing above the short-term MA) meets or exceeds the defined threshold (default: 3).
The current bar’s close is higher than the previous bar’s high.
The signal occurs within the specified trading window (between Start Time and End Time).
Additionally, if the EMA filter is enabled, the entry is only executed when the current close is below the 200-period EMA.
2. EXIT CONDITION
An exit signal is triggered when the current close falls below the previous bar’s low, prompting the strategy to close the short position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Threshold: The number of consecutive bullish bars required to trigger a short entry (default is 3).
Trading Window: The Start Time and End Time inputs define when the strategy is active.
Moving Average Settings: Choose between SMA and EMA, and set the MA length (default is 5), which is used to assess each bar’s bullish condition.
EMA Filter (Optional): When enabled, this filter requires that the current close is below the 200-period EMA, supporting entries in a downtrend.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for stocks and ETFs and can be applied across various timeframes.
It seeks to capture mean reversion by shorting after a series of bullish bars suggests an overextended move.
The approach employs a contrarian short entry by waiting for a breakout (close > previous high) following consecutive bullish bars.
The adjustable moving average settings and optional EMA filter allow for further optimization based on market conditions.
Comprehensive backtesting is recommended to fine-tune the threshold, moving average parameters, and filter settings for optimal performance.
[SHORT ONLY] Consecutive Close>High[1] Mean Reversion Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "Consecutive Close > High " Mean Reversion Strategy is a contrarian daily trading system for stocks and ETFs. It identifies potential shorting opportunities by counting consecutive days where the closing price exceeds the previous day's high. When this consecutive day count reaches a predetermined threshold, and if the close is below a 200-period EMA (if enabled), a short entry is triggered, anticipating a corrective pullback.
█ HOW ARE THE CONSECUTIVE BULLISH COUNTS CALCULATED?
The strategy uses a counter variable called `bullCount` to track how many consecutive bars meet a bullish condition. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
Initialize the Counter
var int bullCount = 0
Bullish Bar Detection
Every time the close exceeds the previous bar's high, increment the counter:
if close > high
bullCount += 1
Reset on Bearish Bar
When there is a clear bearish reversal, the counter is reset to zero:
if close < low
bullCount := 0
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. SHORT ENTRY

Son Model ICT [TradingFinder] HTF DOL H1 + Sweep M15 + FVG M1🔵 Introduction
The ICT Son Model setup is a precise trading strategy based on market structure and liquidity, implemented across multiple timeframes. This setup first identifies a liquidity level in the 1-hour (1H) timeframe and then confirms a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 5-minute (5M) timeframe to validate the trend. After confirmation, the price forms a new swing in the 5-minute timeframe, absorbing liquidity.
Once this level is broken, traders typically drop to the 30-second (30s) timeframe and enter trades based on a Fair Value Gap (FVG). However, since access to the 30-second timeframe is not available to most traders, we take the entry signal directly from the 5-minute timeframe, using the same liquidity zones and confirmed breakouts to execute trades. This approach simplifies execution and makes the strategy accessible to all traders.
This model operates in two setups :
Bullish ICT Son Model and Bearish ICT Son Model. In the bullish setup, liquidity is first accumulated at the lows of the 1-hour timeframe, and after confirming a market structure shift, a long position is initiated. Conversely, in the bearish setup, liquidity is first drawn from higher levels, and upon confirmation of a bearish trend, a short position is executed.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The ICT Son Model setup is designed around liquidity analysis and market structure shifts and can be applied in both bullish and bearish market conditions. The strategy first identifies a liquidity level in the 1-hour (1H) timeframe and then confirms a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 5-minute (5M) timeframe.
After this shift, the price forms a new swing, absorbing liquidity. When this level is broken in the 5-minute timeframe, the trader enters based on a Fair Value Gap (FVG). While the ideal entry is in the 30-second (30s) timeframe, due to accessibility constraints, we take entry signals directly from the 5-minute timeframe.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In the Bullish ICT Son Model, the 1-hour timeframe first identifies liquidity at the market lows, where price sweeps this level to absorb liquidity. Then, in the 5-minute timeframe, an MSS confirms the bullish shift.
After confirmation, the price forms a new swing, absorbing liquidity at a higher level. The price then retraces into a Fair Value Gap (FVG) created in the 5-minute timeframe, where the trader enters a long position, placing the stop-loss below the FVG.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In the Bearish ICT Son Model, liquidity at higher market levels is identified in the 1-hour timeframe, where price sweeps these levels to absorb liquidity. Then, in the 5-minute timeframe, an MSS confirms the bearish trend.
After confirmation, the price forms a new swing, absorbing liquidity at a lower level. The price then retraces into a Fair Value Gap (FVG) created in the 5-minute timeframe, where the trader enters a short position, placing the stop-loss above the FVG.
🔵 Settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
FVG Length : Default is 120 Bar.
MSS Length : Default is 80 Bar.
FVG Filter : This refines the number of identified FVG areas based on a specified algorithm to focus on higher quality signals and reduce noise.
Types of FVG filters :
Very Aggressive Filter: Adds a condition where, for an upward FVG, the last candle's highest price must exceed the middle candle's highest price, and for a downward FVG, the last candle's lowest price must be lower than the middle candle's lowest price. This minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter: Builds on the Very Aggressive mode by ensuring the middle candle is not too small, filtering out more FVGs.
Defensive Filter: Adds criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle, requiring it to have a substantial body and specific polarity conditions, filtering out a significant number of FVGs.
Very Defensive Filter: Further refines filtering by ensuring the first and third candles are not small-bodied doji candles, retaining only the highest quality signals.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT Son Model setup is a structured and precise method for trade execution based on liquidity analysis and market structure shifts. This strategy first identifies a liquidity level in the 1-hour timeframe and then confirms a trend shift using the 5-minute timeframe.
Trade entries are executed based on Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), which highlight optimal entry points. By applying this model, traders can leverage existing market liquidity to enter high-probability trades. The bullish setup activates when liquidity is swept from market lows and a market structure shift confirms an upward trend, whereas the bearish setup is used when liquidity is drawn from market highs, confirming a downtrend.
This approach enables traders to identify high-probability trade setups with greater precision compared to many other strategies. Additionally, since access to the 30-second timeframe is limited, the strategy remains fully functional in the 5-minute timeframe, making it more practical and accessible for a wider range of traders.
Reversal Probability Zone & Levels [LuxAlgo]The Reversal Probability Zone & Levels tool allows traders to identify a zone starting from the last detected reversal to highlight the probability of where the next reversal would be from a price and time perspective.
Price and time levels within the zone are displayed for up to 4 percentiles defined by the user.
🔶 USAGE
By default, the tool displays a zone with the 25th, 50th, 75th and 90th percentiles on both the price and time axis, indicating where, when and how many of the past reversals have occurred.
Traders can select the length for swing detection and the maximum number of reversals for probability calculations. The tool considers both bullish and bearish reversals separately, which means that if the last reversal was a swing high, the zone would show the probabilities for the last defined Maximum reversals
The Maximum reversals value has a direct impact on the probabilities, the more data traders use the more significant the result, probabilities over 10 occurrences are far weak compared to probabilities over 1000 occurrences.
🔹 Percentiles
Traders can fine-tune the percentile parameters in the settings panel.
A given percentile means that the number of occurrences in the data set is less than or equal to the percentile.
In English, this means
Percentile 20th: 20% of the occurrences are less than or equal to this value, so 80% of the occurrences are greater than this value.
Percentile 50th: 50% of the occurrences are below and 50% are above this value.
Percentile 80th: 80% of occurrences are lower than or equal to this value, so 20% of occurrences are greater than this value.
🔹 Normalize data
The Normalize Data feature allows traders to make an apples to apples comparison when we have a lot of historical data on high timeframe charts, using returns between swings instead of raw price.
🔹 Display Style
By default, the tool has the No overlapping feature enabled to display a clean chart, traders can turn it off, but this can fill the chart with too much information and barely see the price.
Traders can enable/disable settings to show only the last zone and the swing markers on the chart.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Length: The maximum length in bars used to identify a swing
Maximum Reversals: Maximum number of reversals included in calculations
Normalize Data: Use returns between swings instead of raw price
Percentiles: Enable/disable each of the four percentiles and select the percentile number, line style, colors, and size
🔹 Style
No Overlapping Zones: Enable or disable the No overlap between zones feature
Show Only Last Zone: Enable/disable display of last zone only
Show Marks: Enable/disable reversal markers
