FVG Breakout Lite by tradingbauhausExplanation of "FVG Breakout Lite by tradingbauhaus"
This script is a trading strategy built for TradingView that helps you spot and trade "Fair Value Gaps" (FVGs)—price areas where the market moved quickly, leaving a gap that might act as support or resistance later. It’s designed to catch breakout opportunities when the price moves strongly in one direction, with extra filters to make trades more reliable. Here’s how it works and how you can use it:
What It Does
1. Finds Fair Value Gaps (FVGs):
A "Bullish FVG" happens when the price jumps up quickly, leaving a gap below where it didn’t trade much (e.g., today’s low is higher than the high from two bars ago).
A "Bearish FVG" is the opposite: the price drops fast, leaving a gap above (e.g., today’s high is lower than the low from two bars ago).
The script draws colored boxes on your chart to show these gaps: green for bullish, red for bearish.
2. Spots Breakouts:
It looks for "strong" FVGs by comparing them to a trend (based on the highest highs and lowest lows over a set period).
If a bullish gap forms above the recent highs, or a bearish gap below the recent lows, it’s marked as a breakout opportunity.
3. Adds a Volume Check:
Trades only happen if the market’s volume is higher than usual (e.g., 1.2x the average volume over the last 20 bars). This helps ensure the breakout has real momentum behind it.
4. Trades Automatically:
Long Trades (Buy): If a bullish breakout FVG forms and volume is high, it buys at the current price.
Short Trades (Sell): If a bearish breakout FVG forms with high volume, it sells short.
Each trade comes with a stop loss (to limit losses) and a take profit (to lock in gains), both adjustable by you.
5. Shows Mitigation Lines (Optional):
If you turn on "Display Mitigation Zones," it draws lines at the edge of each breakout FVG. These lines show where the price might return to "fill" the gap later, helping you see key levels.
6. Includes Webull Costs:
The script factors in real trading fees from Webull, like tiny SEC and FINRA fees for selling, and a daily margin cost if you’re borrowing money to trade. These don’t show up on the chart but affect the strategy’s performance in backtesting.
How to Use It
1. Add to Your Chart:
Copy the script into TradingView’s Pine Editor, click "Add to Chart," and it’ll start drawing FVGs and running the strategy.
2. Customize Settings:
Trend Period (Default: 25): How many bars it looks back to define the trend. Longer periods mean fewer but stronger signals.
Volume Lookback (Default: 20) & Volume Threshold (Default: 1.2): Adjust how it measures "high volume." Increase the threshold for stricter trades.
Stop Loss % (Default: 1.5%) & Take Profit % (Default: 3%): Set how much you’re willing to lose or aim to gain per trade.
Margin Rate % (Default: 8.74%): Webull’s rate for borrowing money—lower it if your account qualifies for a better rate.
Display Mitigation Zones (Default: On): Toggle this to see or hide the gap lines.
Colors: Change the green (bullish) and red (bearish) shades to suit your chart.
3. Backtest It:
Go to the "Strategy Tester" tab in TradingView to see how it performs on past data. It’ll show trades, profits, losses, and Webull fees included.
4. Watch It Work:
Green boxes mean bullish FVGs; red boxes mean bearish FVGs. If volume spikes and the price breaks out, you’ll see trades happen automatically.
What to Expect
Visuals: You’ll see colored boxes for FVGs and optional lines showing where they start. These help you spot key price zones even if you’re not trading.
Trades: It’s selective—only trades when FVGs align with a breakout and volume confirms it. Expect fewer trades but with higher potential.
Risk: The stop loss keeps losses in check, while the take profit aims for a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio by default (3% gain vs. 1.5% loss).
Costs: Webull’s fees are small but baked into the results, so you’re seeing a realistic picture of profits.
Tips for Users
Test it on a small timeframe (like 5-minute charts) for day trading or a larger one (like daily) for swing trading.
Play with the volume threshold—if you get too few trades, lower it (e.g., 1.1); if too many, raise it (e.g., 1.5).
Watch how price reacts to the mitigation lines—they’re often support or resistance zones traders target.
This strategy is lightweight, focused, and built for traders who like breakouts with a bit of confirmation. It’s not foolproof (no strategy is!), but it gives you a clear way to trade FVGs with some smart filters.

MT-Trend Zone IdentifierTrend Zone Identifier – A Dynamic Market Trend Mapping Tool
Overview
The Trend Zone Identifier is an advanced TradingView indicator that helps traders visualize different market trend phases. By leveraging Pivot Points, Moving Averages (MA), ADX (Average Directional Index), and Retest Confirmation, this tool identifies uptrend, downtrend, and ranging (sideways) conditions dynamically.
This indicator is designed to segment the market into clear trend zones, allowing traders to distinguish between confirmed trends, trend transitions (pending zones), and ranging markets. It provides an intuitive visual overlay to enhance market structure analysis and assist in decision-making.
Key Features
✔ Trend Zone Identification – Classifies price action into Uptrend (Green), Downtrend (Red), Pending Confirmation (Light Colors), and Sideways Market (Gray/Neutral)
✔ Pivot-Based Breakout & Breakdown Detection – Uses pivot highs/lows to determine trend shifts
✔ Moving Average & ADX Validation – Ensures the trend is backed by MA structure and ADX trend strength
✔ Pullback Confirmation – Allows trend confirmation based on price retesting key levels
✔ Extreme Volatility & Gaps Filtering – Optional ATR-based extreme movement filtering to avoid false signals
✔ Multi-Timeframe Support – Option to integrate higher timeframe trend validation
✔ Customizable Sensitivity – Fine-tune MA smoothing, ADX thresholds, pivot detection, and pullback range
How It Works
1. Trend Classification
• Uptrend (Green): Price is above a key MA, ADX confirms strength, and a pivot breakout occurs
• Downtrend (Red): Price is below a key MA, ADX confirms strength, and a pivot breakdown occurs
• Pending Trend (Light Colors): Initial trend breakout or breakdown is detected but requires further confirmation
• Sideways/Ranging (Gray): ADX signals a weak trend, and price remains within a neutral zone
2. Retest & Confirmation Logic
• A trend is only confirmed after a breakout or breakdown followed by a successful retest
• If the market fails the retest, the indicator resets to a neutral state
3. Custom Filters for Optimization
• Enable or disable volume filtering for confirmation
• Adjust pivot sensitivity to detect major or minor swing points
• Choose to require consecutive bars confirming the breakout/breakdown
Ideal Use Cases
🔹 Swing traders who want to capture trend transitions early
🔹 Trend-following traders who rely on confirmed market cycles
🔹 Range traders looking to identify sideways market zones
🔹 Algorithmic traders who need clean trend segmentation for automated strategies
Final Thoughts
The Trend Zone Identifier is a versatile market structure indicator that helps traders define trend cycles visually and avoid trading against weak trends. By providing clear breakout, breakdown, and retest conditions, it enhances market clarity and reduces decision-making errors.

SMC StrategyThis Pine Script strategy is based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC), designed for TradingView. Here's a brief summary of what the script does:
1. Swing High and Low Calculation: It identifies recent swing highs and lows, which are used to define key zones.
2. Equilibrium, Premium, and Discount Zones:
- Equilibrium is the midpoint between the swing high and low.
- Premium Zone is above the equilibrium, indicating a potential resistance area (sell zone).
- Discount Zone is below the equilibrium, indicating a potential support area (buy zone).
3. Simple Moving Average (SMA): It uses a 50-period SMA to determine the trend direction. If the price is above the SMA, the trend is bullish; if it's below, the trend is bearish.
4. Buy and Sell Signals:
- Buy Signal: Generated when the price is in the discount zone and above the equilibrium, with the price also above the SMA.
- Sell Signal: Triggered when the price is in the premium zone and below the equilibrium, with the price also below the SMA.
5. Order Blocks: It detects basic order blocks by identifying the highest high and lowest low within the last 20 bars. These levels help confirm the buy and sell signals.
6. Liquidity Zones: It marks the swing high and low as potential liquidity zones, indicating where price may reverse due to institutional players' activity.
The strategy then executes trades based on these signals, plotting buy and sell markers on the chart and showing the key levels (zones) and trend direction.
CSP Key Level Finder This script is designed for option sellers, particularly those using strategies like cash-secured puts (CSPs), to help automate the process of identifying key levels in the market. The core functionality is to calculate a specific price level where a 5% return can be achieved based on the historical volatility of the underlying asset. This level is visually plotted on a chart to guide traders in making more informed decisions without manually calculating the thresholds themselves.
The script incorporates implied volatility (IV) data to determine the volatility rank of the asset and calculates historical volatility (HV) based on price movements. These volatility measures help assess market conditions. The resulting key level is drawn as a line on the chart, along with a label that includes relevant information about volatility, making it easier for traders to evaluate potential option selling strategies.
Additionally, the script includes user input options, allowing users to control when to display the key level on the chart, offering flexibility based on individual needs. Overall, the script provides a visual aid for option sellers to streamline the process of identifying attractive entry points.
Line Chart ShiftedThis indicator is designed to assist traders who rely on both line charts and candlestick patterns in their technical analysis. By plotting the closing price from previous bars and shifting it left by a customizable amount, this indicator overlays a line chart directly onto a candlestick chart, giving traders a clearer view of trends and key levels.
Key Features:
Shifted Close Price: The line is plotted based on the closing prices of the previous 3 candles, providing an advanced view of the market's price movements.
Customizable Line Width and Color: Traders can easily modify the thickness and color of the line to match their charting style or improve visibility when analyzing price action.
How It Helps:
Combines Line and Candlestick Charts: For traders who analyze both line and candlestick charts, this indicator provides an effective way to see how price has been evolving, helping to identify support, resistance, and trend lines more easily.
Enhanced Visualization: By shifting the line slightly to the left, the overlay offers a clean separation between the current candlestick and the historical line, improving clarity and making it easier to spot trends.
Mode For Loop | viResearchMode For Loop | viResearch
Conceptual Foundation and Innovation
The "Mode For Loop" indicator introduces a novel approach to market analysis by incorporating the mode calculation into a dynamic scoring system. The mode, which represents the most frequent price over a specified period, provides a robust measure of price centrality that can filter out random fluctuations and offer a clear picture of market trends. Combined with a loop-based evaluation system, this indicator generates a score that helps traders identify potential trend reversals and the strength of ongoing trends. By comparing the current mode with past values over a defined range, the "Mode For Loop" script offers traders a comprehensive tool for understanding market momentum and trend dynamics.
Technical Composition and Calculation
The "Mode For Loop" script consists of two key elements: Mode Calculation and the For Loop Scoring System. The mode represents the most frequent price point within a user-defined length. This value is calculated from the selected source price (e.g., close) and provides a smoothed central price that reflects market consensus over the period. The for loop compares the current mode to historical mode values over a customizable range. The score is calculated by evaluating whether the current mode is higher or lower than past values. A positive score indicates upward momentum, while a negative score suggests downward momentum.
For the Mode Calculation, the mode is determined using the ta.mode function, which identifies the most common price over the selected length. The loop iterates over the defined range (from and to), comparing the current mode to historical values. The score is updated by adding or subtracting based on whether the current mode is greater than or less than the past values, resulting in a total score that reflects the trend direction.
Features and User Inputs
The "Mode For Loop" script offers multiple customizable inputs, allowing traders to fine-tune the indicator to suit their strategies. The Mode Length defines the period over which the mode is calculated, controlling how the indicator smooths out price fluctuations and identifies central price trends. The Loop Range (From and To) allows users to set the range over which the mode is compared to previous values, offering flexibility in assessing trend strength over different time horizons. Customizable thresholds determine when the score signals an uptrend or downtrend, allowing traders to adjust the indicator’s sensitivity to market conditions.
Practical Applications
The "Mode For Loop" indicator is designed for traders who want to leverage the mode’s ability to filter out noise and focus on the most frequent price points. This tool can be particularly effective for detecting trend reversals, as the loop-based scoring system provides early signals of potential reversals by comparing the current mode with past values. This helps traders act before significant market shifts occur. The indicator also excels at confirming trend strength. By analyzing the mode across a range of past values, it offers a clearer view of the strength and sustainability of trends, improving trade entry and exit points. The customizable parameters enable traders to adapt the indicator to various market conditions, making it suitable for both short-term and long-term trading strategies.
Advantages and Strategic Value
The key advantage of the "Mode For Loop" script is its ability to provide a more stable and central measure of price trends using the mode calculation, while also applying a dynamic scoring system for enhanced trend detection. This combination offers traders a more reliable tool for reducing false signals and improving the accuracy of trend-following strategies. The mode’s focus on the most frequent price makes it a robust choice for understanding true market behavior, while the loop-based evaluation ensures that trends are analyzed comprehensively.
Alerts and Visual Cues
The script includes alert conditions to notify traders of key trend signals. The "Mode For Loop Long" alert signals a potential upward trend when the score exceeds the upper threshold, while the "Mode For Loop Short" alert indicates a possible downward trend when the score falls below the lower threshold. The indicator also includes visual cues, with background colors changing when the score crosses key levels, helping traders quickly identify potential shifts in market direction.
Summary and Usage Tips
The "Mode For Loop | viResearch" indicator offers a powerful combination of mode-based price smoothing and dynamic trend scoring, giving traders a detailed and responsive tool for trend analysis. By incorporating this script into your trading system, you can improve your ability to detect and confirm trends while minimizing the impact of market noise. Whether you're focused on capturing early trend reversals or confirming ongoing trends, this indicator provides a reliable and flexible solution.
Note: Backtests are based on past results and are not indicative of future performance.
Duo Multi-Time Period Charts# Duo Multi-Time Period Charts
## Description
The Duo Multi-Time Period Charts indicator is a versatile tool designed to visualize price action across two different timeframes simultaneously. It overlays color-coded boxes on your chart, representing the price range for each period in both timeframes. This allows traders to easily identify trends, support, and resistance levels across multiple time horizons.
## Key Features
- Displays two user-defined timeframes (default: Daily and Weekly)
- Customizable calculation methods: High/Low Range, True Range, or Heikin Ashi Range
- Color-coded boxes for easy trend identification (bullish/bearish)
- Optional labels showing open and/or close prices
- Fully customizable colors for boxes and labels
## How It Works
1. The indicator creates boxes for each period in both selected timeframes.
2. Box colors change based on whether the close is higher (bullish) or lower (bearish) than the open.
3. Box heights are determined by the selected calculation method:
- High/Low Range: Uses the period's high and low
- True Range: Incorporates the previous close for more volatility representation
- Heikin Ashi Range: Uses a modified candlestick calculation for smoother trends
4. Optional labels display open and/or close prices for each period.
## Use Cases
- Multi-timeframe analysis: Compare short-term and long-term trends at a glance
- Support and resistance identification: Easily spot key levels across different timeframes

MTF OB Supply Demand ZonesHello everyone,
This exceptional indicator provides you with visual representations of bullish and bearish order blocks or supply and demand zones across multiple timeframes. In simple terms, bullish order blocks are represented by a small red candle followed by a large red candle, while bearish order blocks are depicted as a small green candle followed by a large red candle. Supply and demand zones are drawn by using order blocks.
Features:
Display order blocks from up to three different timeframes.
Customize the maximum number of boxes shown and the colors of the zones.
Choose from three different modes: OB (Order Block), Extended OB, and Supply/Demand.
Mode Descriptions:
OB: Includes the body of the candle.
Extended OB: Encompasses the body and wick of the candle.
Supply/Demand: Covers the body, wick, and half the body of the large candle.
Usage:
Ensure that charts 2 and 3 are set to a higher timeframe. For modes 2 and 3, it’s recommended to reduce the maximum number of boxes shown. The zones or boxes are transparent, allowing for overlap. This feature aids in identifying reversal zones or confirmed zones. The more intense the color, the stronger the confirmation. If a green zone overlaps a red zone (or vice versa), it signifies a reversal zone.
Thank you for checking out this indicator!

Additional Information:
Order blocks refer to specific price areas where large market participants, such as institutional traders, have previously placed significant buy or sell orders. These clusters of orders can impact price movement, liquidity, and market sentiment.
Order blocks are a strategic approach to identifying key levels of support and resistance based on the behavior of institutional traders. These key levels are then utilized as entry or exit points for trades.
An order block is an area where there has been a large concentration of limit orders awaiting execution. These blocks are identified on a chart by observing previous price action and pinpointing areas where the price experienced significant movement or abrupt changes in direction.
Order blocks are used in the following popular trading philosophies:

1 Year Historical Trend AnalyzerHey everyone!
This is a new indicator of mine. If you know me, you know I really like Z-Score and there are a lot of cool things that can be done with Z-Score, especially as it pertains to trading!
This indicator uses Z-Score but in a different way from conventional Z-Score indicators (including mine). It uses Z-Score to plot out the current 1 year trend of a stock. Now, 1 year trend is not year to date (i.e. if we are in April, it is not just looking from January to April), but instead, its taking the last 1 trading year of candle data to plot out the trend, ranges and areas of z-score math based supports and resistances.
How it works:
The indicator will look at the current timeframe you are on, whether it be daily, 1 hour, 4 hours, weekly or even monthly. It will then look back the designated amount of candles that constitute 1 trading year. These are preprogrammed into the indicator so it knows to look back X number of Candles based on Y timeframe. This will give you a standard, scaled version of the past 1 year of trading data.
From there, the indicator will calculate the MAX Z-Score (or the highest Z-Score that the stock reached over the 1 trading year) and the MIN Z-score (or the lowest Z-Score that the stock reached over the 1 trading year). It plots these as a red and green line respectively:
It will then display the price that the MAX and MIN fall at. Keep in mind, the MAX and MIN price will change as the trading time elapses, but the Z-Score will remain the same until the stock does a lower or higher move from that z-score point.
It will then calculate the mean (average) of the Max and Min and then the mid points between the max and mean, and the min and mean. These all represent mathematical areas of support and resistance and key levels to watch when trading.
The indicator also has a table that is optional. The table can be toggled to either Auto or Manual. Auto will automatically calculate 5 Z-Score Points that are within the proximity of the annual trading range. However, you can select manual and input your own Z-Score values to see where the prices will fall based on the 1 year of data.
Some other options:
You can toggle on and off these midline support and resistance levels in the settings menu. Additionally, you can have the indicator plot actual scaled candles of the 1 year trading history. This is a great function to really see how the support and resistance works. Let’s take a look at RIVN, plotted as candles, on the 1 hour timeframe:
In this diagram, we can see two recent points in March where the Z-Score has acted as support for the stock. If we view this in conjunction with the actual ticker, you can see these were great buy points:
Do get this functionality, simply go into the plots menu in the settings menu and select “Plot as Candles”.
How to Use it:
While I have discussed some applications of the indicator, namely identify math supports and resistances, targets and such, there are some key things I really want to emphasize that this indicator excels at. I am going to group them for greater clarity:
All time Highs and All Time Lows:
AXP has recently been pushing ATHs. When a stock breaks an ATH or an ATL, it is said that there is no resistance or support. However, with Z-Score that is never true, there are always areas of math resistance and support. We can use this indicator to identify such areas. Let’s look at AXP:
Using this as a reference, we can see that AXP broke out of a Z-Score resistance level and re-tested the resistance as support. It held and continued up. We can see that the next area of math resistance is at 270:
And 234.65 is support. We would look for the ticker to hold this 234.65 line as support to continue the move up to the 270s.
Similar setup for ATLs with RIVN:
We can see that RIVN can indeed make a new ATL because support isn’t until 7.63.
Technical Tips on How to Use:
Because this indicator uses predefined lookback periods based on timeframes, its important that you are analyzing the data with pre-market turned off. The candles are calculated with the assumption that there is no pre-market data.
As well, the lowest timeframe that can be used to get 1 year worth of data is 1 hour. Anything below 1 hour will require you to manually input a lookback length (default is 252) which will be less than 1 year. This is simply because of the limitations of candle lookbacks through Pinescript.
That is not to say that this is not effective on smaller timeframes, it is! You just need to be sure that you understand you are not looking at a year trend worth of data. You can toggle your manual lookback parameters in the settings menu.
Concluding remarks
And that’s the indicator! I know the explanation is lengthy but I really suggest you read it carefully to understand how the indicator works and how you can best use it to analyze tickers and supplement your strategy.
Thanks for reading and safe trades as always!
GG - LevelsThe GG Levels indicator is a tool designed for day trading U.S. equity futures. It highlights key levels intraday, overnight, intermediate-swing levels that are relevant for intraday futures trading.
Terminology
RTH (Regular Trading Hours): Represents the New York session from 09:30 to 17:00 EST.
ON Session (Overnight Session): Represents the trading activity from 17:00 to 09:29 EST.
IB (Initial Balance): The first hour of the New York session, from 09:30 to 10:30 EST.
Open: The opening price of the RTH session.
YH (Yesterday's High): The highest price during the RTH session of the previous day.
YL (Yesterday's Low): The lowest price during the RTH session of the previous day.
YC (Yesterday's Close): The daily bar close which for futures gets updated to settlement.
IBH (Initial Balance High): The highest price during the IB session.
IBL (Initial Balance Low): The lowest price during the IB session.
ONH (Overnight High): The highest price during the ON session.
ONL (Overnight Low): The lowest price during the ON session.
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price): The volume-weighted average price that resets each day.
Why is RTH Important?
Tracking the RTH session is important because often times the overnight session can be filled with "lies". It is thought that because the overnight session is lower volume price can be pushed or "manipulated" to extremes that would not happen during higher volume times.
Why is the ON Session Important Then?
Just because the ON session can be thought as a "lie" doesn't mean it is relevant to know. For example, if price is stuck inside the ON range then you can think of the market as rotational or range-bound. If price is above the ON range then it can be thought of as bullish. If price is below the ON range then it can be thought as bearish.
What is IB?
IB or initial balance is the first hour of the New York Session. Typically the market sets the tone for the day in the first hour. This tone is similarly a map like the ON session. If we are above the IBH then it is bullish and likely a trend day to the upside. If we are below the IBL then it is bearish and likely a trend day to the downside. If we are in IB then we want to avoid conducting business in the middle of IBH and IBL to avoid getting chopped up in a range bound market.
These levels are not a holy grail
You should use this indicator as guide or map for context about the instrument you are trading. You need to combine your own technical analysis with this indicator. You want as much context confirming your trade thesis in order to enter a trade. Simply buying or selling because we are above or below a level is not recommended in any circumstance. If it were that easy I would not publish this indicator.
Adjustments
In the indicator settings you can adjust the RTH, ON, and IB session-time settings. All of the times entered must be in EST (Eastern Standard Time). You may want to do this to apply the levels to a foreign market.
Examples
Implied Orderblock Breaker (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Implied Order Block Breaker (Zeiierman) is a tool designed to identify enhanced order blocks with imbalances. These enhanced order blocks represent areas where there is a rapid price movement. Essentially, this indicator uses order blocks and suggests that a swift price movement away from these levels, breaking the current market structure, could indicate an area that the market has not correctly valued. This technique offers traders a unique method to identify potential market inefficiencies and imbalances, serving as a guide for potential price revisits.
The indicator doesn't scan for imbalances in the traditional sense — where there's an absence of trades between two price levels — but instead, it identifies quick movements away from key levels that suggest where an imbalance might exist. Relying on crossovers and cross-unders in conjunction with pivot points and examining the high/low within the same period provides an innovative method for traders to spot these potentially undervalued or overvalued areas in the market. These inferred imbalances can be crucial for traders looking for price levels where the market might make significant moves.
█ How It Works
Bullish
Crossover: The closing price of a bar crosses above a pivot high, which is an indication that buyers are in control and pushing the price upwards.
New Low Within Period: There is a lower low within the same period as the pivot high. This suggests that after setting a high, the market pulled back to set a new low, potentially leaving a price gap on the way up as the price quickly recovers.
Bearish
Crossunder: The closing price of a bar crosses under a pivot low, indicating that sellers are taking control and driving the price down.
New High Within Period: There is a higher high within the same period as the pivot low. This condition suggests that the market rallied to a new high before falling back below the pivot low, potentially leaving a gap on the way down.
█ How to Use
The enhanced order blocks are often revisited, and the price may aim to 'fill' the potential imbalance created by the rapid price movement, thereby presenting traders with potential entry or exit points. This approach aligns with the idea that imbalances are frequently revisited by the market, and when combined with the context of Order Blocks, it provides even more confluence.
Example
Here, if the price drops rapidly after setting a new high—crossing under the pivot low—it may skip over certain price levels, creating a 'gap' that signifies an area where the price might have been overvalued (imbalance), which the market may revisit for a potential price correction or revaluation.
█ Settings
Period: Determines the number of bars used for identifying pivot highs and lows. A higher value gives more significant but less frequent signals, while a lower value increases sensitivity but might give more false positives.
Pivot Surrounding: Specifies the number of candles to analyze around a pivot point. Increasing this value broadens the analysis range, potentially capturing more setups but possibly including less significant ones.

London BreakOut ClassicHey there, this is my first time publishing a strategy. The strategy is based on the London Breakout Idea, an incredibly popular concept with abundant information available online.
Let me summarize the London Breakout Strategy in a nutshell: It involves identifying key price levels based on the Tokyo Session before the London Session starts. Typically, these key levels are the high and low of the previous Tokyo session. If a breakout occurs during the London session, you simply follow the trend.
The purpose of this code
After conducting my research, I came across numerous posts, videos, and articles discussing the London Breakout Strategy. I aimed to automatically test it myself to verify whether the claims made by these so-called trading gurus are accurate or not. Consequently, I wrote this script to gain an understanding of how this strategy would perform if I were to follow its basic settings blindly.
Explanation of drawings on the chart:
Red or Green Box: A box is drawn on our chart displaying the exact range of the Tokyo trading session. This box is colored red if the trend during the session was downward and green if it was upward. The box is always drawn between the high and the low between 0:00 AM and 7:00 AM UTC. You can change the settings via the Inputs "Session time Tokyo" & "Session time zone".
Green Background: The green background represents the London trading session. My code allows us to make entries only during this time. If we haven't entered a trade, any pending orders are canceled. I've also programmed a timeout at 11 pm to ensure every trade is closed before the new Tokyo session begins.
Red Line: The red line is automatically placed in the middle of our previous Tokyo range. This line acts as our stop loss. If we cross this line after entering a trade but before reaching our take profit, we'll be stopped out.
When do we enter a trade?
We wait for a candle body to close outside of the previous Tokyo range to enter a trade with the opening of the next candle. We only enter one trade per day.
Where do we put our Take Profit?
The code calculates the exact distance between our entry point and the stop loss. We are trading a risk-reward ratio of 1:1 by default, meaning our take profit is always the same number of pips away from our entry as the stop loss. The Stop Loss is always defined by the red line on the chart. You can change the risk-reward ratio via the inputs setting "CRV", to see how the result changes.
What is the purpose of this script?
I wanted to backtest the London breakout strategy to see how it actually works. Therefore, I wrote this code so that everybody can test it for themselves. You can change the settings and see how the result changes. Typically, you should test this strategy on forex markets and on either 1Min, 5 Min, or 15 Min timeframe.
What are the results?
Over the last 3-6 months (over 100 trades), trading the strategy with my default settings hasn't proven to be very successful. Consequently, I do not recommend trading this strategy blindly. The purpose of this code is to provide you with a foundation for the London Breakout Strategy, allowing you to modify and enhance it according to your preferences. If you're contemplating whether to give it a try, you can assess the results from the past months by using this code as a starting point.

Pivot Point Moving Average (PPMA)The script is an implementation of an indicator called "PPMA", which stands for "Pivot Point Moving Average." This indicator is designed to be used as a overlay, meaning that it will be plotted on top of the underlying asset's price chart.
The main function of the PPMA indicator is to calculate a moving average based on pivot points of the underlying asset. Pivot points are commonly used in technical analysis to identify key levels of support and resistance, and this indicator uses the pivot points in a unique way to calculate the moving average.
The indicator's main function, "ppma()," is defined as taking two input parameters, "left" and "right." These parameters determine the number of bars to the left and right of a pivot point that will be used to calculate the moving average. The function uses the "ta.pivothigh()" and "ta.pivotlow()" functions to identify pivot points for the high and low prices, respectively. Then the function uses the "ta.change()" function to identify if there is a change in pivot point.
The function keeps track of the number of bars and their sum from the last pivot point until the next pivot point is reached. If there is a change in pivot point, it will reset the count and sum. It will return the sum divided by the count, which is the moving average of the prices between the two pivot points.
The script then uses the PPMA function to plot the moving average on the chart using the "plot()" function. The user is able to adjust the number of bars to the left and right of the pivot point using the "left" and "right" input parameters.
In summary, the PPMA indicator is a unique moving average that uses pivot points to calculate the average. It is designed to be used as an overlay on top of an underlying asset's price chart and can be adjusted by the user to suit their needs. It can help traders identify key levels of support and resistance in the underlying asset.
