Turtle Trading System + ATR Trailing StopIndicator Description: Turtle ATR Trailing Stop
The **Turtle ATR Trailing Stop** is a technical indicator designed to enhance the classic Turtle Trading System by incorporating a dynamic trailing stop based on the Average True Range (ATR). This indicator is ideal for traders seeking to manage risk and lock in profits on both long and short positions in trending markets.
Key Features:
- Turtle Trading Levels: Calculates the 20-day highest high and lowest low to identify potential breakout points, a core principle of the Turtle Trading System.
- ATR-Based Trailing Stop: Utilizes a trailing stop that adjusts dynamically based on a multiple of the ATR (default multiplier: 2.0), providing a volatility-adjusted exit mechanism.
- Position Flexibility: Supports both long and short positions, with the trailing stop positioned below the highest price for long trades and above the lowest price for short trades.
- Smooth Updates: The trailing stop updates on each bar, ensuring a more responsive adjustment to price movements, rather than only on new highs or lows.
- Reset Mechanism: Automatically resets the trailing stop when the price deviates significantly (configurable threshold, default 0.1%), adapting to major trend reversals.
- Alerts: Includes customizable alerts that trigger when the price reaches the trailing stop level, notifying traders of potential exit points.
- Debugging Tools: Features an on-chart debug table displaying ATR, Close, Highest Price, Lowest Price, Potential Stop, and Trailing Stop values for real-time analysis.
How It Works:
- For **Long Positions**: The trailing stop starts below the initial close price (minus 2*ATR) and moves up as the highest price increases, locking in profits while trailing at a fixed ATR distance.
- For **Short Positions**: The trailing stop starts above the initial close price (plus 2*ATR) and moves down as the lowest price decreases, protecting against upward price movements.
- The stop resets if the price falls (for long) or rises (for short) beyond the set threshold, ensuring adaptability to new market conditions.
Customization:
- Period Settings: Adjust the length for highs/lows (default 20) and ATR period (default 14).
- ATR Multiplier: Modify the distance of the trailing stop (default 2.0).
- Reset Threshold: Fine-tune the percentage at which the stop resets (default 0.1%).
- Position Type: Switch between "Long" and "Short" modes via input settings.
Usage:
Apply this indicator to any chart in TradingView, set your preferred parameters, and monitor the trailing stop line (yellow) alongside the Turtle highs (red) and lows (blue). Use the debug table to validate calculations and set alerts to stay informed of stop triggers.
This indicator combines the trend-following strength of the Turtle System with a flexible, ATR-based stop-loss strategy, making it a powerful tool for both manual and automated trading strategies.

This is an indicator which I use, have tested, tweaked and added features to for use in my trend following investing system. I got the idea for it when for some reason I was looking for a dynamic reference to measure the height of a channel or something. In search of this I made MA’s of the high and low borders of a Donchian channel which turned out to be two near parallel and stunningly smooth curves. This visual was so appealing that I immediately tried to turn it into a replacement for the KeltCOG which I previously used in my system. First I created a curve in the middle of the upper and lower curves, which I called COG (Center Of Gravity). Then I decided to enter only one lookback and let the script create a Donchian channel with half the lookback and use this to create the curves with an MA of whole lookback. For this reason the minimum lookback is set to 14, enough room for the Donchian Channel of 7 periods. This Donchian ChanneI has a special way of calculating the borders, involving a 5 period Median value. Thanks to this these borders are really a resistance and support level, which won’t change at a whim, e.g. when a ‘dead cat bounce’ occurs. I prevented the Donchian channel to show itself between the curves and only pop out from behind these. These pop outs now function as “strong trend zones”. I gave it colors (blue:-strong up, green: moderate up, orange: moderate down, red: strong down, near COG: gray, curves horizontal: gray) and it looked very appealing. I tested it in different time frames. In some weekend, when I was bored, I observed for a few hours the minute chart of bitcoin. It turned out that you can reliably tell that an uptrend ends when the candles go under the COG beginning a downtrend. Uptrend starts again once the candles go above COG. As Trends on minute charts only last around half an hour, this entertainment made the potential of this indicator very clear to me in just one afternoon.
Risk Management, Safe Level and Logical Stops.
In the inputs are settings for “Risk Tolerance”, and to activate “Show Logical Stop Level” (activated in example chart) and “Show Safe Level”. As a rule of thump a trade should not expose the invested capital to a risk of losing more than 2 percent. I divided my investment capital in ten equal parts which are allocated to ten different stocks or other instruments or kept liquid. This means that when a position is closed by triggering a Stop with a loss of 20 percent, the invested capital suffers only 2 percent (20% x 10% = 2%). This is why the value for “Risk Tolerance” has a default of 20. Because I put my Stops on the lower curve, a “Safe Level” can be calculated such that when you buy for a price below or at this level, the stop will protect the position sufficiently. Because I only buy when the instrument is in uptrend, the buying price should be between COG and Safe Level. Although I never do that, putting the stop at other curves is feasible and when you want to widen the stop (I never lower my stops btw) in a downtrend situation, even 1 ATR below the “Low Border”. I call these “Logical Stop Levels”, marked with dark green circles on the lower curve when safe buying by placing the Stoploss on this curve is possible, gray circles on the other curves, on the Upper Curve navy when price enters very profitable level. In a downtrend situation maroon circles appear.
Target lines
When I open a position I always set a Stoploss and a Target, for this purpose two types of Target values can be set and corresponding Target lines activated. These lines are drawn above the “High Border” at the set distance. If one expects some price to be used, differences will occur.
Other Features
Support Zone, this is 1 ATR below the “Low Border”, the maroon circles of the “Logal Stops” are placed on this “Support level”.
Stop distance and Channel Width. (activated in example chart) These are reported in a two cell table in the right lower corner of the main panel. I created this because I want to be able to check the volatility, whether the channel shows a situation in which safe buying in most levels of the channel is possible or what risk you take when you buy now and set the Stop at the nearest logical level (which is not always the “Lower curve”). This feature comes in handy for creating a setup I propose in the “Day Trading Fantasy” below.
Some General and User Settings. I never activate this, perhaps you will.
Use Of TrendZones In My System.
Create a list of stocks in uptrend. I define ‘stock in uptrend’ as in uptrend zone in all three monthly, weekly and daily charts, all three should at the same time be in uptrend. The advantage of TrendZones is that you can immediately see in which zone the candle moves.
Opening a position in a stock from the above list. I do this only when in both the daily and weekly the green dot on the lower curve indicates a buying opportunity. This is usually not the case in most of the items of the list, this feature thus provides a good timing for opening a position. Sometimes you need to wait a few weeks for this to happen.
Setting a target over a position. For this I use the Target percent line of the weekly chart with the default value of 10.
Updating the Stoploss and Target values. Every week or two weeks I set these to the new values of the “Lower Curve” and the Target line of the weekly. Attention: never shift down Stops, only up or let them stay the same when the curve moves down. I never use Stop levels on other curves.
I Check the charts whenever I like to do this. Close the position when the uptrend obviously shifts down. Otherwise I let the profits run until the Target triggers which closes the position with some profit.
For selecting stocks an checking charts for volume events, I also use a subpanel indicator called “TZanalyser”, which borrows the visual of my “Fibonacci Zone Oscillator”, is based on TrendZones and includes code from my REVE indicators. I intend to publish that as well.
Day Trading Fantasy.
Day trading is an attempt to earn a dime by opening a position in the morning and close it during the day again with a profit (or a loss). Before the market closes, you close all day trading positions.
In my fantasy the “Logical Stop Level” is repurposed for use as entry point and the ATR-based Target line is used to provide a target setting in an intraday chart, like e.g. 15 minute. To do this the “Safe Level” should be limited to between Channel width and COG. This can be done by showing “Safe Level” and “Channel Width” and then set “Risk Tolerance” to around the shown Channel Width. In this setting you can then wait for the green circle to show up for entering your trade and protect it with the stop.
I don’t know if this works fine or if it’s better than other day trade systems, because I don’t do day trading.
Take care and have fun.

Signal Analysis & Usage Guidelines
Buy Signal Mechanics
The buy signal triggers when:
Previous candle shows significant bearish movement (minimum ATR multiplier)
Current candle reclaims a configurable percentage of the previous candle's range
Price is near a key support level (order blocks, fibonacci, volume levels)
Sell Signal Mechanics
The sell signal triggers when:
Previous candle shows significant bullish movement (minimum ATR multiplier)
Current candle rejects below a configurable percentage of the previous candle's range
Price is near a key resistance level (order blocks, fibonacci, volume levels)
When to TAKE Signals
High Probability Buy Signals:
Signal appears AT or BELOW the VAL (Value Area Low)
Signal occurs at bullish order block confluence
Price is in LVN area below VAL (momentum acceleration zone)
Signal aligns with fibonacci 61.8% or 78.6% support
Multiple session POC levels provide support confluence
Previous session's VAL acting as current support
High Probability Sell Signals:
Signal appears AT or ABOVE the VAH (Value Area High)
Signal occurs at bearish order block confluence
Price is in HVN area above VAH (heavy resistance zone)
Signal aligns with fibonacci 61.8% or 78.6% resistance

Volume Profile Context for Signals
Understanding Bull/Bear Percentages:
70%+ Bull dominance at a level = Strong support expected
70%+ Bear dominance at a level = Strong resistance expected
50/50 Split = Neutral zone, less predictable
Use percentages to gauge conviction behind moves
POC (Point of Control) Interactions:
Signals above POC in uptrend = Higher probability
Signals below POC in downtrend = Higher probability
Signals against POC bias require extra confirmation
POC often acts as magnetic level for price return
Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: VAL/VAH Bounce Strategy
Wait for price to approach VAL (support) or VAH (resistance)
Look for signal confirmation at these critical levels
Enter with tight stops beyond the Value Area
Target opposite boundary or next session's levels
Strategy 2: Order Block + Volume Confluence
Identify order block alignment with VAL/VAH
Wait for signal within the confluence zone
Enter on signal with stop beyond order block
Use LVN areas as acceleration zones for targets
Strategy 3: LVN/HVN Strategy
LVN (Green) Areas: "Go Zones" - expect quick price movement through low volume
HVN (Red) Areas: "Stop Zones" - expect resistance and potential reversals
NPOC Areas: "Fill Zones" - price often returns to fill single print gaps
Strategy 4: Multi-Session Analysis
Use Daily/Weekly for major structure context
Use 4H for intermediate levels
Use 1H for precise entry timing
Ensure all timeframes align before taking signals
Strategy 5: Fibonacci + Volume Profile
Buy signals at 61.8% or 78.6% fibonacci near VAL
Sell signals at 61.8% or 78.6% fibonacci near VAH
Use 88.6% level as final support/resistance before major moves
50% level often aligns with POC for confluence

Important Disclaimers
This indicator is a technical analysis tool designed for educational purposes. It does not provide financial advice, investment recommendations, or trading signals that guarantee profits. All trading involves substantial risk of loss, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Users should conduct their own research, understand the risks involved, and consider consulting with qualified financial advisors before making trading decisions. The signals and analysis provided are based on historical price patterns and volume data, which may not predict future market movements accurately.
Best Practices
Never trade signals blindly - always consider volume profile context
Wait for confluence between multiple tools before entering
Respect the Value Area - avoid buying above VAH or selling below VAL
Use session context - Asian ranges vs London/NY breakouts
Practice proper risk management - position size based on signal quality
Understand the bigger picture - use multiple timeframes for context
Remember: Like the IDKFA cheat code, having all the tools doesn't guarantee success. The key is learning to use them together effectively and understanding when NOT to take a signal is often more important than knowing when to take one.
VWAP + Candle-Rating SELL (close, robust)This multi‐timeframe setup first scans the 15-minute chart for strong bearish candles (body position in the bottom 40% of their range, i.e. rating 4 or 5) that close below the session VWAP. When it finds the first such “setup” of a trading period, it pins the low of that 15-minute candle as a trigger level and draws a persistent red line there. On the 5-minute chart, the strategy then waits for a similarly strong bearish candle (rating 4 or 5) to close below that marked low—at which point it emits a one‐time SELL signal. The trigger level remains in place (and additional sell signals are locked out) until the market “rescues” the price: a 15-minute bullish candle (rating 1 or 2) closing back above VWAP clears the old setup and allows the next valid bearish 15-minute candle to form a new trigger. This design ensures you only trade the most significant breakdowns after a clear bearish bias and avoids repeated signals until a genuine bullish reversal resets the system.

Position Size Calculator (Fixed % or ATR-based Stop Support)Position Size Calculator (Fixed % or ATR-based Stop Support)
Purpose and Background
This indicator allows traders to calculate appropriate position sizes directly on the chart, based on a key rule:
“What percentage of your capital are you willing to risk per trade?”
While many traders focus on entries and indicators, position sizing and risk allocation are often overlooked.
This tool visualizes and simplifies the “1% risk rule” promoted by IBD (Investor’s Business Daily) and William J. O’Neil, helping both beginners and experienced traders maintain disciplined capital management.
Key Features
Automatically calculates and displays:
・ Position Size
The number of units (shares, contracts, coins) you can hold based on your stop-loss range and risk allowance.
・ Stop Price
The price level at which your stop-loss would be triggered.
・ Risk Amount
The maximum loss per trade based on your portfolio size and risk percentage.
Two stop-loss modes available:
・ Fixed % Mode
O’Neil suggests using up to 8% stop-loss in uptrends and keeping it tighter (around 4%) in corrections. This mode allows flexible manual settings.
・ ATR-Based Mode
Uses the asset’s average volatility to dynamically calculate stop-loss width using the Average True Range (ATR).
ATR Usage and Recommended Settings
ATR helps you avoid noise-based stop-outs and align your risk with market volatility.
There are two parameters you can adjust:
・ ATR Length
Defines how many bars are used to calculate the average range.
・Shorter values (5–10) respond faster for day trades
・Longer values (14–21) offer smoother ranges for swing/position trades(Default is 14)
・ATR Multiplier
Sets how wide the stop-loss is by multiplying the ATR value:
・Day trading: 1.0–1.5×
・Swing trading: 1.5–2.5×
・Position trading: 2.0–3.0×
Practical Examples: Risk % × Stop-Loss % → Max Positions
This tool helps estimate how many positions you can hold in a portfolio based on your risk per trade and stop width.
Examples:
・Risk 0.5%, Stop 8% → Max 16 positions
・Risk 0.5%, Stop 4% → Max 8 positions
・Risk 1.0%, Stop 8% → Max 8 positions
・Risk 1.0%, Stop 4% → Max 4 positions
・Risk 2.0%, Stop 8% → Max 4 positions
・Risk 2.0%, Stop 4% → Max 2 positions
These assume worst-case scenarios where all positions are stopped out simultaneously within your overall portfolio risk limit.
Display & Customization Options
・ Currency Display: USD or JPY
No currency conversion is applied. Select based on your trading region (e.g., USD for U.S. stocks, JPY for Japanese stocks).
Support for additional currencies can be added upon request.
・ Show/Hide Decimal Places
Toggle decimals for better visibility. Ideal for fractional assets like crypto and CFDs.
・ Position of Output
Choose from top-right, middle-right, or bottom-right on the chart.
・ Text Display Size: Large / Normal / Small
Choose the table size that best suits your viewing preferences.
・ Explanation of Displayed Labels
・ Position Size : Units to buy/sell based on risk
・ Stop Price : Price where stop-loss is triggered
・ Risk Amount : Max loss allowed for the trade
How to Use
１、Set your Portfolio Size
２、Choose your Currency (USD or JPY)
３、Input Risk per Trade (%) (e.g., 1%)
４、Select Stop Loss Method
・ Fixed % : Enter a manual stop-loss percent (e.g., 8%)
・ ATR : Then also enter:
・ ATR Length : Number of bars used to calculate ATR (e.g., 14)
・ ATR Multiplier : Factor applied to ATR to determine stop-loss (e.g., 2.0)
５、Adjust decimals, label position, or text size as needed
６、The result is displayed in a table directly on your chart
Notes
・ Uses the current close price (close) as the basis
Real-time bid/ask data isn't available in Pine Script, so the close price is used for consistent results.
・ No buy/sell signals are generated
This tool is for position sizing and risk calculation only, not trade entries.
Recommended For
・Traders who want precise, rule-based position sizing
・Users following IBD or O’Neil’s 1% risk principle
・Those incorporating ATR for stop-loss strategies
・Multi-asset traders (stocks, crypto, CFDs, etc.)
・ Anyone who wants to calculate position size and risk without using a calculator or external tool—fully inside TradingView
Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG)Overview
The Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG) (ICT/SMT) indicator is a specialized tool designed for traders using Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodologies. Inspired by LuxAlgo's Fair Value Gap indicator, this script introduces significant enhancements by integrating ICT principles, focusing on precise time-based FVG detection, inversion tracking, and retest signals tailored for institutional trading strategies. Unlike LuxAlgo’s general FVG approach, this indicator filters FVGs within customizable 10-minute windows aligned with ICT’s macro timeframes and incorporates ICT-specific concepts like mitigation, liquidity grabs, and session-based gap prioritization.
This tool is optimized for 1–5 minute charts, though probably best for 1 minute charts, identifying bullish and bearish FVGs, tracking their mitigation into inverted FVGs (iFVGs) as key support/resistance zones, and generating retest signals with customizable “Close” or “Wick” confirmation. Features like ATR-based filtering, optional FVG labels, mitigation removal, and session-specific FVG detection (e.g., first FVG in AM/PM sessions) make it a powerful tool for ICT traders.
Originality and Improvements
While inspired by LuxAlgo’s FVG indicator (credit to LuxAlgo for their foundational work), this script significantly extends the original concept by:
1. Time-Based FVG Detection: Unlike LuxAlgo’s continuous FVG identification, this script filters FVGs within user-defined 10-minute windows each hour (:00–:10, :10–:20, etc.), aligning with ICT’s emphasis on specific periods of institutional activity, such as hourly opens/closes or kill zones (e.g., New York 7:00–11:00 AM EST). This ensures FVGs are relevant to high-probability ICT setups.
2. Session-Specific First FVG Option: A unique feature allows traders to display only the first FVG in ICT-defined AM (9:30–10:00 AM EST) or PM (1:30–2:00 PM EST) sessions, reflecting ICT’s focus on initial market imbalances during key liquidity events.
3. ICT-Driven Mitigation and Inversion Logic: The script tracks FVG mitigation (when price closes through a gap) and converts mitigated FVGs into iFVGs, which serve as ICT-style support/resistance zones. This aligns with ICT’s view that mitigated gaps become critical reversal points, unlike LuxAlgo’s simpler gap display.
4. Customizable Retest Signals: Retest signals for iFVGs are configurable for “Close” (conservative, requiring candle body confirmation) or “Wick” (faster, using highs/lows), catering to ICT traders’ need for precise entry timing during liquidity grabs or Judas swings.
5. ATR Filtering and Mitigation Removal: An optional ATR filter ensures only significant FVGs are displayed, reducing noise, while mitigation removal declutters the chart by removing filled gaps, aligning with ICT’s principle that mitigated gaps lose relevance unless inverted.
6. Timezone and Timeframe Safeguards: A timezone offset setting aligns FVG detection with EST for ICT’s New York-centric strategies, and a timeframe warning alerts users to avoid ≥1-hour charts, ensuring accuracy in time-based filtering.
These enhancements make the script a distinct tool that builds on LuxAlgo’s foundation while offering ICT traders a tailored, high-precision solution.
How It Works
FVG Detection
FVGs are identified when a candle’s low is higher than the high of two candles prior (bullish FVG) or a candle’s high is lower than the low of two candles prior (bearish FVG). Detection is restricted to:
• User-selected 10-minute windows (e.g., :00–:10, :50–:60) to capture ICT-relevant periods like hourly transitions.
• AM/PM session first FVGs (if enabled), focusing on 9:30–10:00 AM or 1:30–2:00 PM EST for key market opens.
An optional ATR filter (default: 0.25× ATR) ensures only gaps larger than the threshold are displayed, prioritizing significant imbalances.
Mitigation and Inversion
When price closes through an FVG (e.g., below a bullish FVG’s bottom), the FVG is mitigated and becomes an iFVG, plotted as a support/resistance zone. iFVGs are critical in ICT for identifying reversal points where institutional orders accumulate.
Retest Signals
The script generates signals when price retests an iFVG:
• Close: Triggers when the candle body confirms the retest (conservative, lower noise).
• Wick: Triggers when the candle’s high/low touches the iFVG (faster, higher sensitivity). Signals are visualized with triangular markers (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish) and can trigger alerts.
Visualization
• FVGs: Displayed as colored boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish) with optional “Bull FVG”/“Bear FVG” labels.
• iFVGs: Shown as extended boxes with dashed midlines, limited to the user-defined number of recent zones (default: 5).
• Mitigation Removal: Mitigated FVGs/iFVGs are removed (if enabled) to keep the chart clean.
How to Use
Recommended Settings
• Timeframe: Use 1–5 minute charts for precision, avoiding ≥1-hour timeframes (a warning label appears if misconfigured).
• Time Windows: Enable :00–:10 and :50–:60 for hourly open/close FVGs, or use the “Show only 1st presented FVG” option for AM/PM session focus.
• ATR Filter: Keep enabled (multiplier 0.25–0.5) for significant gaps; disable on 1-minute charts for more FVGs during volatility.
• Signal Preference: Use “Close” for conservative entries, “Wick” for aggressive setups.
• Timezone Offset: Set to -5 for EST (or -4 for EDT) to align with ICT’s New York session.
Trading Strategy
1. Macro Timeframes: Focus on New York (7:00–11:00 AM EST) or London (2:00–5:00 AM EST) kill zones for high institutional activity.

SMT SwiftEdge PowerhouseSMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse: Precision Trading with Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones
The SMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse is a powerful trading tool designed to help traders identify high-probability entry points during the most active market sessions—London and New York. By combining Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Zones, this script provides a unique and cohesive strategy for capturing market reversals with precision. Whether you're a scalper or a swing trader, this indicator offers clear visual signals to enhance your trading decisions on any timeframe.
What Does This Script Do?
This script integrates three key concepts to identify potential trading opportunities:
SMT Divergence:
SMT Divergence compares the price action of two correlated assets (e.g., Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures) to detect hidden market reversals. When one asset makes a higher high while the other makes a lower high (bearish divergence), or one makes a lower low while the other makes a higher low (bullish divergence), it signals a potential reversal. This technique leverages institutional "smart money" behavior to anticipate market shifts.
Liquidity Grabs:
Liquidity Grabs occur when price breaks above recent highs or below recent lows on higher timeframes (5m and 15m), often triggering stop-loss orders from retail traders. These breakouts are identified using pivot points and confirm institutional activity, setting the stage for a reversal. The script focuses on liquidity grabs during the London and New York sessions for maximum market activity.
Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Zones:
OTE Zones are Fibonacci-based retracement areas (e.g., 61.8%) calculated after a liquidity grab. These zones highlight where price is likely to retrace before continuing in the direction of the reversal, offering a high-probability entry point. The script adjusts the width of these zones using the Average True Range (ATR) to adapt to market volatility.
By combining these components, the script identifies when institutional activity (liquidity grabs) aligns with market reversals (SMT divergence) and pinpoints precise entry points (OTE zones) during high-liquidity sessions.
Why Combine These Components?
The integration of SMT Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones creates a robust trading system for several reasons:
Synergy of Institutional Signals: SMT Divergence and Liquidity Grabs both reflect "smart money" behavior—divergence shows hidden reversals, while liquidity grabs confirm institutional intent to trap retail traders. Together, they provide a strong foundation for identifying high-probability setups.
Session-Based Precision: Focusing on the London and New York sessions ensures signals occur during periods of high volatility and liquidity, increasing their reliability.
Precision Entries with OTE: After confirming a setup with divergence and liquidity grabs, OTE zones provide a clear entry area, reducing guesswork and improving trade accuracy.
Adaptability: The script works on any timeframe, with adjustable settings for signal sensitivity, session times, and Fibonacci levels, making it versatile for different trading styles.
This combination makes the script unique by aligning institutional insights with actionable entry points, tailored to the most active market hours.
How to Use the Script
Setup:
Add the script to your chart (works on any timeframe, e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m).
Configure the settings in the indicator's inputs:
Session Settings: Adjust the start/end times for London and New York sessions (default: London 8-11 UTC, New York 13-16 UTC). You can disable session restrictions if desired.
Asset Settings: Set the primary and secondary assets for SMT Divergence (default: NQ1! and ES1!). Ensure the assets are correlated.
Signal Settings: Adjust the lookback period, ATR period, and signal sensitivity (Low/Medium/High) to control the frequency of signals.
OTE Settings: Choose the Fibonacci level for OTE zones (default: 61.8%).
Visual Settings: Enable/disable OTE zones, SMT labels, and debug labels for troubleshooting.
Interpreting Signals:
Blue Circles: Indicate a liquidity grab (price breaking a 5m or 15m pivot high/low), marking the start of a potential setup.
Blue OTE Zones: Appear after a liquidity grab, showing the retracement area (e.g., 61.8% Fibonacci level) where price is likely to enter for a reversal trade. The label "OTE Trigger 5m/15m" confirms the direction (Short/Long) and session.
Green/Red Entry Boxes: Mark precise entry points when price enters the OTE zone and confirms the SMT Divergence. Green boxes indicate a long entry, red boxes a short entry.
Trading Example:
On a 1m chart, a blue circle appears when price breaks a 5m pivot high during the London session.
A blue OTE zone forms, showing a retracement area (e.g., 61.8% Fibonacci level) with the label "OTE Trigger 5m/15m (Short, London)".
Price retraces into the OTE zone, and a red "Short Entry" box appears, confirming a bearish SMT Divergence.
Enter a short trade at the red box, with a stop-loss above the OTE zone and a take-profit at the next support level.
Originality and Utility
The SMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse stands out by merging SMT Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones into a single, session-focused indicator. Unlike traditional indicators that focus on one aspect of price action, this script combines institutional reversal signals with precise entry zones, tailored to the most active market hours. Its adaptability across timeframes, customizable settings, and clear visual cues make it a versatile tool for traders seeking to capitalize on smart money movements with confidence.
Tips for Best Results
Use on correlated assets like NQ1! (Nasdaq futures) and ES1! (S&P 500 futures) for accurate SMT Divergence.
Test on lower timeframes (1m, 5m) for scalping or higher timeframes (15m, 1H) for swing trading.
Adjust the "Signal Sensitivity" to "High" for more signals or "Low" for fewer, high-quality setups.
Enable "Show Debug Labels" if signals are not appearing as expected, to troubleshoot pivot points and liquidity grabs.
Falcon SignalsThis script is a TradingView Pine Script for a trading strategy called "Falcon Signals." It combines multiple technical indicators and strategies to generate buy and sell signals. Here’s a breakdown of what the script does:
1. Supertrend Indicator:
The script calculates the Supertrend indicator using the Average True Range (ATR) and a specified multiplier (factor). The Supertrend is used to define the trend direction, with a green line for an uptrend and a red line for a downtrend.
2. EMA (Exponential Moving Average):
Two EMAs are used: a fast EMA (9-period) and a slow EMA (21-period). The script checks for crossovers of the fast EMA above or below the slow EMA as a basis for buying and selling signals.
3. RSI (Relative Strength Index):
The RSI (14-period) is used to measure the momentum of the price. A buy signal is generated when the RSI is less than 70, while a sell signal is generated when it’s greater than 30.
4. Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL):
The script allows users to set custom percentages for take profit and stop loss. The take profit is set at a certain percentage above the entry price for buy signals, and the stop loss is set at a percentage below the entry price, and vice versa for sell signals.
5. Trailing Stop:
A trailing stop can be enabled, which dynamically adjusts the stop loss level as the price moves in the favorable direction. If the price moves against the position by a certain trailing percentage, the position will be closed.
6. Engulfing Patterns:
The script checks for bullish and bearish engulfing candlestick patterns, indicating potential reversals. A bullish engulfing pattern is marked with a teal label ("🔄 Reversal Up"), and a bearish engulfing pattern is marked with a fuchsia label ("🔄 Reversal Down").
7. Plotting:
The script plots various indicators and signals:
Entry line: Shows where the buy or sell signal is triggered.
Take profit and stop loss levels are plotted as lines.
EMA and Supertrend lines are plotted on the chart.
Trailing stop line, if enabled, is also plotted.
8. Buy and Sell Labels:
The script places labels on the chart when buy or sell signals are triggered, indicating the price at which the order should be placed.
9. Exit Line:
The script plots an exit line when the trailing stop is hit, signaling when a position should be closed.
10. Alerts:
Alerts are set for both buy and sell signals, notifying the trader when to act based on the strategy's conditions.
This strategy combines trend-following (Supertrend), momentum (RSI), and price action patterns (EMA crossovers and engulfing candlestick patterns) to generate trade signals. It also offers the flexibility of take profit, stop loss, and trailing stop features.
111D SMA / (350D SMA * 2)Indicator: Pi Cycle Ratio
This custom technical indicator calculates a ratio between two moving averages that are used for the PI Cycle Top indicator. The PI Cycle Top indicator triggers when the 111-day simple moving average (111D SMA) crosses up with the 350-day simple moving average (350D SMA *2).
The line value is ratio is calculated as:
Line Value = 111DSMA / (350D SMA × 2)
When the 111D SMA crosses with the 350D SMA triggering the PI Cycle Top, the value of the ratio between the two lines is 1.
This visualizes the ratio between the two moving averages into a single line. This indicator can be used for technical analysis for historical and future moves.
MACD with TrendIndicator Name: MACD with Trend & Multi-Timeframe Dashboard
Why Use This Indicator?
Two MACDs for Double Confirmation:
It integrates both a standard MACD (fast/slow lengths of your choice) and a Trend MACD (longer lengths). The standard MACD identifies short-term momentum shifts, while the Trend MACD helps confirm the higher-level market trend.
Multi-Timeframe 50/200 SMA Overview:
A built-in dashboard quickly shows whether the 50-period moving average is above or below the 200-period moving average across multiple timeframes (Monthly, Weekly, Daily, etc.). At a glance, you can see if higher timeframes agree with your immediate trading setup.
Clear Buy/Sell Signals:
The script plots buy arrows when the MACD histogram crosses from negative to positive, plus an additional label for the Trend MACD crossing. The same goes for sell signals if momentum flips from positive to negative. This clarity can reduce guesswork.
Customizable & Intuitive:
Easily adjust moving average types (SMA or EMA), lengths, and source inputs to suit different asset classes or personal preferences. Visual color coding helps you quickly interpret bullish vs. bearish conditions.
Recommended Trading Approach
Identify Overall Trend
Check the Trend MACD histogram and the multi-timeframe dashboard (50/200 SMAs). If you see bullish alignment on higher timeframes (e.g., Daily, Weekly) and the Trend MACD is above zero, you know the market environment is supportive for long trades.
Pinpoint Entry Using Standard MACD
Wait for the standard MACD histogram to cross above zero or for a labeled “Buy Signal.” This indicates short-term momentum turning bullish in sync with the broader trend. If the market is already trending up (confirmed by the dashboard), the probability of a successful long entry often improves.
Set a Stop-Loss & Take-Profit
While not included in the code, adding an ATR- or price-based stop-loss can protect against sudden reversals. A simple approach is risking 1–2% per trade and aiming for a 1.5–2× reward relative to that risk.
Monitor Sell Signals
If the short-term MACD crosses below zero—triggering a “Sell Signal”—and the Trend MACD also turns down (or the dashboard flips bearish), consider exiting the position or tightening stops. This alignment of short- and long-term indicators often signals a shift in momentum that could threaten your open profits.
Summary
The MACD with Trend & Multi-Timeframe Dashboard is a versatile, all-in-one toolkit. It combines the immediacy of short-term MACD signals, the validation of a longer-term trend oscillator, and the broader insight of multi-timeframe moving averages. Whether you are a swing trader looking for alignment across bigger trends or a shorter-term trader wanting clear momentum triggers, this indicator helps streamline decision-making and reduce noise.

ATR 3x Multiplier StrategyBeta version
Volatility and Candle Spikes in Trading
Volatility
Volatility refers to the degree of variation in the price of a financial asset over time. It measures how much the price fluctuates and is often associated with risk and uncertainty in the market. High volatility means larger price swings, while low volatility indicates more stable price movements.
Key aspects of volatility:
Measured using indicators like Average True Range (ATR), Bollinger Bands, and Implied Volatility (IV).
Influenced by factors such as market news, economic events, and liquidity.
Higher volatility increases both risk and potential profit opportunities.
Candle Spikes
A candle spike (or wick) refers to a sudden price movement that forms a long shadow or wick on a candlestick chart. These spikes can indicate strong buying or selling pressure, liquidity hunts, or stop-loss triggers.
Types of candle spikes:
Bullish Spike (Long Lower Wick): Indicates buyers rejected lower prices, pushing the price higher.
Bearish Spike (Long Upper Wick): Suggests sellers rejected higher prices, pushing the price lower.
Stop-Loss Hunt: Market makers may trigger stop-losses by creating artificial spikes before reversing the price.
News-Induced Spikes: Economic data releases or unexpected events can cause sudden price jumps.
Understanding volatility and candle spikes can help traders manage risk, spot entry/exit points, and avoid false breakouts. 🚀📈
Custom Previous High/Low + Breakout AlertsThis indicator plots the previous high and low of the selected timeframe and alerts you when the price breaks either level.
To prevent spam, it triggers only once per period. If both the high and low break within the same period, you will receive an alert for each, but no duplicates if price hovers around these levels.
How to Set Up Alerts
1. Choose Your Timeframe
- In the indicator settings, select the timeframe for the high/low reference.
- Example: If you select 1 hour, the indicator will plot the previous 1-hour high and low and alert you when either level is broken
2. Create an Alert
- Condition → High/Low Break Alerts
- Function → Any alert() function call
Optional:
- If you want alerts only for high breakouts or low breakouts, select High Breakout or Low Breakout and use "Once Per Bar" as the trigger. (It will still alert only once per period.)
3. Setting Alerts for Multiple Timeframes
- If you want to create another alert for a different timeframe, first select the new timeframe in the indicator settings, then create a new alert
- Note: Previous alerts will continue to notify you based on the timeframe they were originally set for, even if you change the timeframe in the indicator settings.

Candle Close Distance AlertThreshold-Based Distance:
You define a threshold percentage (threshold_percent) to specify what "far" means (e.g., 2%).
The script calculates the absolute distance between:
Close and Open
Close and High
Close and Low
If any of these distances exceed the specified threshold, the condition is triggered.
Visual Markers:
Green markers (triangle up) indicate the close is far from the open.
Red markers (triangle down) indicate the close is far from the high.
Blue markers (triangle down) indicate the close is far from the low.
These markers make it easy to spot significant price movements on the chart.
Customizable Alerts:
If enabled, alerts are triggered when any of the conditions are met.
Alerts are designed to notify you in real time if a candle closes far from the open, high, or low.
Trend Detection with AlertsPurpose of the Script
The script identifies trends on a chart (uptrend, downtrend, or sideways trend) and provides both visual cues and alerts when a trend changes. It uses two methods for trend detection:
Moving Averages (MA): It compares a short-term moving average (fast) with a long-term moving average (slow).
An uptrend occurs when the short-term MA is above the long-term MA.
A downtrend occurs when the short-term MA is below the long-term MA.
Price Action:
Higher highs (HH) indicate bullish momentum.
Lower lows (LL) indicate bearish momentum.
When these methods align, the script determines the trend and notifies the user of any trend changes.
Key Features
Moving Average Calculation:
A short-term moving average and a long-term moving average are calculated to determine the overall trend direction.
Trend Determination:
An uptrend is detected when the short-term MA is above the long-term MA and higher highs are present.
A downtrend is detected when the short-term MA is below the long-term MA and lower lows are present.
Otherwise, the trend is classified as sideways.
Alerts for Trend Changes:
Alerts are triggered when the trend changes from one state to another (e.g., sideways to uptrend).
Custom messages indicate the type of trend detected.
Background Colors:
The script changes the chart’s background color based on the current trend:
Green for uptrends.
Red for downtrends.
Gray for sideways trends.
Visualization of Moving Averages:
The moving averages are plotted on the chart for visual reference.
How It Works
Inputs for Flexibility:
The user can configure the lengths of the short-term and long-term moving averages.
A lookback period is used to determine higher highs or lower lows for additional confirmation.
Trend Logic:
The script checks the relationship between the moving averages to identify general trends.
It also evaluates price action to confirm trend strength (e.g., whether a higher high or lower low occurred).
Alert System:
When the detected trend changes (e.g., from sideways to uptrend), an alert is triggered. This ensures the user is notified of important market movements.
Dynamic Background Coloring:
The background color of the chart changes to reflect the current trend, making it easy to interpret the trend visually.
Use Cases
Trend Identification: Helps traders quickly identify market trends for decision-making.
Alerts for Trend Changes: Notifies traders when a new trend begins, ensuring they don’t miss key opportunities.
Visual Assistance: Makes it easier to interpret trends through color-coded backgrounds and moving average overlays.
Customization Options
Adjust Moving Average Lengths: Users can modify the short-term and long-term moving averages to suit their trading strategies.
Change Lookback Period: The sensitivity of higher highs and lower lows can be adjusted.
Personalized Alerts: Alerts can be customized for different trading scenarios.
Summary
This script provides an intuitive way to detect and visualize market trends while offering real-time alerts for trend changes. It’s an excellent tool for traders who want to stay informed about market conditions and make data-driven decisions.
Signals Pro [traderslog]The "Signals Pro" indicator is an advanced and versatile trading tool designed to help traders accurately identify key buy and sell signals using a combination of technical analysis factors such as candle patterns , RSI (Relative Strength Index) , and candle stability . It is highly customizable and offers a range of options that make it suitable for both short-term and long-term traders. By filtering market noise and providing actionable insights, this indicator enhances decision-making and helps traders capitalize on market movements.
At the core of the "Signals Pro" indicator is the concept of Candle Stability . The Candle Stability Index measures the ratio between a candle's body and its wicks, providing insight into the strength of the price movement during that period. A higher value indicates that the candle is more stable, meaning that the price has moved significantly without much retracement. This stability filter is crucial because it prevents the generation of signals during volatile or choppy market conditions where price direction is uncertain. Traders can adjust the Candle Stability Index from 0 to 1, allowing for precise control over how stable a candle must be for the indicator to generate a signal.
Another key feature is the use of RSI (Relative Strength Index) , a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. The RSI index parameter in the indicator can be customized to detect overbought or oversold conditions. When the RSI falls below the defined threshold, it signals that the market may be oversold , which can indicate a potential buying opportunity . Conversely, when the RSI exceeds a certain value, it suggests that the market is overbought , signaling a potential selling opportunity . This allows traders to time their trades more effectively by entering when market conditions are favorable and exiting before a potential reversal occurs.
The Candle Delta Length is another critical element of the "Signals Pro" indicator. This parameter measures how much the price has increased or decreased over a specific number of candles. By adjusting the Candle Delta Length , traders can define how many periods the indicator should analyze before generating a signal. A longer Candle Delta Length means the price has been trending in one direction for a longer period, providing more reliable signals. For instance, if the price has been steadily decreasing for five candles, this could signal a bullish reversal , triggering a buy signal .
To further enhance its accuracy, the "Signals Pro" indicator includes a unique feature that allows traders to disable repeating signals . This is particularly useful in situations where the market is moving sideways or during low volatility periods, where multiple signals may cluster close together, creating confusion. By enabling the disable repeating signals option, traders can prevent these repeated signals and focus on the most important and confirmed signals, ensuring cleaner charts and reducing the risk of overtrading.
A key technical aspect of the indicator is its ability to detect bullish and bearish engulfing patterns . The indicator looks for bullish engulfing patterns, which occur when a bullish candle fully engulfs the body of the previous bearish candle, signaling a potential bullish reversal . Conversely, bearish engulfing patterns occur when a bearish candle fully engulfs the previous bullish candle, indicating a bearish reversal . By incorporating these candle patterns with the Candle Stability Index and RSI levels , the indicator provides highly reliable signals based on price action and market sentiment.
Visual customization is another major advantage of the "Signals Pro" indicator. Traders can choose from several different label styles , such as text bubbles , triangles , or arrows to mark the buy and sell signals on the chart. This makes the signals stand out and easy to interpret at a glance. Furthermore, the color of these signals can be customized: green for buy signals and red for sell signals , along with options to adjust the text size and label styles for even more personalization. Traders can make the signals more or less prominent based on their preference, enhancing readability and workflow efficiency.
The indicator also includes a comprehensive alert system , ensuring traders never miss an opportunity. Alerts can be set for both buy and sell signals , and the system triggers in real-time when a valid signal is generated. This is especially useful for active traders who want to stay on top of the markets without constantly monitoring their screens. The alert system helps ensure that traders are notified of potential trading opportunities as soon as they arise, allowing them to act quickly in volatile markets.
From a practical standpoint, the "Signals Pro" indicator is designed to work seamlessly across multiple timeframes, making it suitable for scalpers, day traders, swing traders, and even long-term investors. Its flexibility allows it to adapt to different trading styles and time horizons, providing value for a wide range of market participants.
In summary, the Signals Pro indicator offers a robust and customizable solution for identifying buy and sell signals . By combining candle stability , RSI analysis , and engulfing patterns , the indicator provides traders with reliable signals to enter or exit trades. The ability to customize signal appearance, coupled with a real-time alert system , makes the "Signals Pro" indicator an invaluable tool for traders looking to improve their timing and decision-making. Whether you are looking to capture short-term price movements or want to time entries and exits in longer-term trends, this indicator offers the insights needed to navigate the markets with confidence.
Candle Range Theory | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Candle Range Theory Indicator! This powerful tool offers a strategy built around the Candle Range Theory, which analyzes market movements through the relative size and structure of price candles. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new Candle Range Theory Indicator :
Implementation of the Candle Range Theory
FVG & Order Block Entry Methods
2 Different TP / SL Methods
Customizable Execution Settings
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The Candle Range Theory (CRT) indicator operates by identifying significant price movements through the relative size and structure of candlesticks. A key part of the strategy is determining large candles based on their range compared to the Average True Range (ATR) in a higher timeframe. Once identified, a breakout of either the high wick or the low wick of the large candle is required. This breakout is considered a liquidity grab. After that, the indicator waits for confirmation through Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) or Order Blocks (OBs). The confirmation structure must be the opposite direction of the breakout, for example if the high wick is broken, a bearish FVG is required for the short entry. After a confirmation signal is received, the indicator will trigger entry points based on your chosen entry method (FVG or OB), and exit points will be calculated using either a dynamic ATR-based TP/SL method or fixed percentages. Alerts for Buy, Sell, Take-Proft, and Stop-Loss are available.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator stands out because it combines two highly effective entry methods: Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks (OBs). You can choose between these strategies depending on market conditions. Additionally, the dynamic TP/SL system uses the ticker's volatility to automatically calculate stop-loss and take-profit targets. The backtesting dashboard provides metrics about the performance of the indicator. You can use it to tune the settings for best use in the current tiker. The Candle Range Theory approach offers more flexibility compared to traditional indicators, allowing for better customization and control based on your risk tolerance.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Higher Timeframe: Customize the higher timeframe for analysis. Recommended combinations include M15 -> H4, H4 -> Daily, Daily -> Weekly, and Weekly -> Monthly.
HTF Candle Size: Define the size of the higher timeframe candles as Big, Normal, or Small to filter valid setups based on their range relative to ATR.
Entry Mode: Choose between FVGs and Order Blocks for your entry triggers.
Require Retracement: Enable this option if you want a retracement to the FVG or OB for entry confirmation.
Show HTF Candle Lines: Toggle to display the higher timeframe candle lines for better visual clarity.
2. Fair Value Gaps
FVG Sensitivity: You may select between Low, Normal, High or Extreme FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivities resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivities resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
3. Order Blocks
Swing Length: Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order blocks.
4. TP / SL
TP / SL Method:
a) Dynamic: The TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the current ticker.
b) Fixed : You can adjust the exact TP / SL ratios from the settings below.
Dynamic Risk: The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.

PnF Fibonacci Levels with AlertsMy Pine Script indicator, "PnF Fibonacci Levels with Alerts," overlays on a trading chart to generate alerts based on Fibonacci levels in Point and Figure (PnF) charts.
Key Features:
Inputs and Initialization:
It uses a customizable Fibonacci level (set at 0.236) and initializes variables for tracking the high and low of O and X columns.
O Column Logic:
When the current column is identified as an O column (when the close is less than the open), it calculates the Fibonacci level based on the high and low of that column, drawing a line on the chart.
Buy Alert:
If the closing price of the previous bar is above the Fibonacci level of the O column, a buy alert is triggered.
X Column Logic:
If the current column is an X column and the close is above the previous O column's low, it captures the current high and low, calculates the Fibonacci level, and draws it on the chart.
Sell Alert:
A sell alert is triggered if the closing price of the X column is at or below the specified Fibonacci level.
This indicator aids traders by highlighting critical Fibonacci levels and providing timely alerts for potential buy and sell opportunities.
Bearish signal using Point of Control (POC) with PAC by guruThis indicator code helps traders identify potential sell opportunities using several important technical indicators:
Point of Control (POC) – This is the price level where the most volume was traded over the past several days.
Previous Day's Low – This shows the lowest price reached during the previous day.
PAC (Price Action Channel) EMA – These are two moving averages (one based on the low price and one based on the close price) that help determine if the price is trending within a certain range.
Volume SMA – This is a 3-day simple moving average (SMA) of volume, which helps filter out signals based on market activity.
What the Script Does:
Point of Control (POC):
The script looks at the last 50 days (configurable) and calculates which price level had the highest trading volume.
It then plots a red line on the chart at the POC level. This is important because it helps identify areas where there was strong market interest in the past.
Volume Moving Average:
The script calculates a 3-day SMA of volume, but it excludes the current day to avoid premature signals based on today’s trading.
The volume SMA is used to ensure there’s enough market activity (with a threshold set to 25 units) before triggering a sell signal.
Price Action Channel (PAC) EMA:
The PAC consists of two exponential moving averages (EMAs):
The PAC Low EMA: This is based on the low prices over the last 34 periods (configurable).
The PAC Close EMA: This is based on the closing prices over the last 34 periods.
These EMAs help determine if the price is trending above or below certain price levels.
Sell Signal Logic: The script checks three conditions before displaying a "Sell" signal:
Price Below POC and Previous Day’s Low:
The close price must be below both the Point of Control (POC) and the previous day's low.
Volume SMA Above 25:
The 3-day volume SMA must be greater than 25. This ensures the signal only triggers when there’s enough trading volume in the market.
Today’s Low is Above PAC EMAs:
Today's low price must be above both the PAC low EMA and the PAC close EMA. This prevents sell signals when prices are already significantly below the PAC, indicating possible exhaustion in the downtrend.
If all three conditions are met, the script will display a red "Sell" label on the chart, signaling a potential selling opportunity.
No Sell Signal if Price Reverses:
If the price crosses back above the POC or the previous day's low, the script will remove the sell signal and reset for a new opportunity.
Summary of Conditions:
For the script to display a "Sell" label:
The close price must be below the Point of Control (POC) and the previous day’s low.
The 3-day volume SMA (excluding today) must be greater than 25 units.
The low price of the current day must be above both the PAC low EMA and the PAC close EMA.
If these conditions are met, a red sell label appears on the chart as a potential signal for a short (sell) trade.
