NR4/NR7 Volatility Squeeze & BreakoutsNR4/NR7 Volatility Squeeze & Breakouts
Concept
Markets often move in cycles of contraction → expansion.
The NR4 and NR7 patterns are well-known volatility contraction signals:
• NR4 : The current bar has the narrowest range (high–low) of the last 4 bars.
• NR7 : The current bar has the narrowest range of the last 7 bars.
• When both conditions align, it signals a strong volatility squeeze.
Such bars often precede s harp breakout moves , making them valuable for breakout and risk-framed trading setups.
How It Works
This script detects NR4 and NR7 bars in real time and adds several features for practical trading use:
Bar Highlighting:
• Teal = NR4, Purple = NR7, Orange = Both.
Breakout Levels:
• The High and Low of the most recent NR bar are projected forward as breakout bands.
Breakout Signals:
• Optional markers when price crosses above/below the NR High/Low.
• Configurable “close confirmation” and cooldown period to avoid duplicate signals.
SMA Filter (adjustable, default 20):
• Plotted on the chart to help traders frame bias and trend context.
Alerts:
• “NR Bar Formed”
• “Bullish Breakout”
• “Bearish Breakout”
How to Use
1. Identify Contraction:
• Watch for NR4/NR7 colored bars.
2. Plan Expansion:
• Use the High/Low of the bar as breakout reference.
3. Add Filters:
• SMA slope/position can add directional context.
• Combine with volume, VWAP, or support/resistance for stronger signals.
4. Risk Management:
• Many traders use the opposite side of the NR bar as stop placement.
Why It’s Useful
Unlike generic breakout systems, this script:
• Focuses on specific, researched volatility patterns (NR4/NR7), not just random breakouts.
• Provides a visual and systematic framework for detecting contraction → expansion phases.
• Integrates both classic price-action logic (narrow ranges) and a trend filter (SMA).
• Offers flexible alerts and cooldown so traders can adapt it to different styles (scalping, swing, intraday).
Important
This is an educational tool. It does not guarantee profitable trades. Always combine with your own market analysis and risk management.
MTF Last Closed Highs & LowsThis indicator plots the most recent closed high and low levels from multiple timeframes (4H, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, etc.) directly on your chart. It helps traders quickly spot key support and resistance zones, track market structure across different timeframes, and identify breakout or reversal opportunities.
Whale Fractal Levels (V1.0)What it does
This indicator plots Fractal Levels (Bill Williams pivots) as horizontal lines and prints clean signals for:
BO+ / BO− → Breakouts through the latest fractal high/low
SW↑ / SW↓ → Liquidity sweeps (wick pierces, close rejects)
RE+ / RE− → Retests of the broken level after a confirmed breakout
Cyan = support (fractal lows).
Lilac = resistance (fractal highs).
How it works
Detects fractals with Left/Right = lr. A pivot is confirmed after lr bars on the right → the level itself doesn’t repaint.
Each confirmed fractal spawns a horizontal line extended to the right. You can limit how many lines stay on chart and auto-expire old ones.
Signals reference the most recent fractal high/low only and are edge-triggered (crossover/crossunder) with a cooldown so you don’t get a marker on every bar near the level.
A small state machine remembers the last breakout to validate the next retest.
Inputs (Settings)

Price vs SMAThis indicator displays the current price in percentage terms, indicating whether it is above or below a selected simple moving average (SMA). It’s designed to be clean and minimal, with the option to display a brief sentence on the chart for added clarity.
The script calculates the distance between the current price and a chosen simple moving average (SMA) and expresses that distance as a percentage. By default, it uses the 200-period SMA, but you can adjust the length to any value, such as 50 or 100, depending on your trading style. A positive percentage means price is trading above the SMA, while a negative percentage means it is below.
The percentage difference is rounded to whole numbers and can be displayed directly in the chart legend if the “Indicator values” box is checked in the TradingView settings. This keeps the chart clean while still providing at-a-glance information about the price relative to your selected moving average.
For extra clarity, the script also includes an option to display a short sentence on the chart itself. This sentence will read “Price is x% above SMA” in green when price is above the SMA, or “Price is x% below SMA” in red when price is below. This visual cue makes it easy to interpret the relationship between price and the moving average without adding clutter.
Scalping, Swing Pro: Urban Towers + Bollinger(0.5)+ WMA by KidevThis indicator combines narrow Bollinger Bands (σ = 0.5) with a Weighted Moving Average (WMA-96) to provide traders with a reliable framework for identifying both short-term scalps and medium-term swing setups.
Bollinger Bands (0.5σ):
Traditional Bollinger Bands at 2σ cover ~95% of price movement, while 0.5σ bands narrow the focus to ~50% of price activity. This tighter structure makes them ideal for detecting volatility contractions, consolidations, and early breakout signals.
WMA-96 as Trend Reference:
The 96-period WMA acts as a slower, more stable directional guide. Unlike shorter WMAs, this longer setting filters noise and serves as a reference line for the dominant trend. Traders can use it as an anchor for intraday or swing positions.
Scalping & Swing Benefits:
Price holding above the WMA-96 while staying near the upper 0.5σ band often signals strength.
Contractions (squeezes) in the 0.5σ band followed by expansion frequently mark breakout zones.
Pullbacks toward the WMA-96 combined with band signals can act as re-entry or risk-defined trade areas.
This script provides a balanced view of momentum and stability — the 0.5σ bands reveal short-term volatility shifts, while the WMA-96 grounds the trader in the prevailing trend.

LogPressure Envelope [BOSWaves]LogPressure Envelope – Adaptive Volatility & Trend Visualizer
Overview
LogPressure Envelope is a specialized trading tool designed to normalize market behavior using logarithmic price scaling while providing an adaptive framework for volatility and trend detection. The indicator calculates a log-based moving average midline, surrounds it with asymmetric volatility envelopes, and replaces the conventional cloud with progressive fan lines to present price action in a more interpretable form.
By integrating rate-of-change midline coloring, fading trend strength, and structured buy/sell markers, LogPressure Envelope simplifies the reading of complex market dynamics. Its design makes it suitable for multiple trading approaches, including scalping, intraday, and swing trading, where volatility behavior and trend shifts must be understood quickly and objectively.
Unlike static envelope indicators, LogPressure Envelope adapts continuously to price scale and volatility conditions. It evaluates log-transformed prices, applies configurable moving average methods (EMA, SMA, WMA), and derives asymmetric standard-deviation bands for both upside and downside moves. These envelopes are projected as fan lines with adjustable opacity, producing a layered volatility map that evolves with the market.
This system ensures each visual element—midline shading, candle coloring, fan structure, and signal markers—reflects real-time market conditions, allowing traders to interpret volatility expansion, contraction, and directional bias with clarity.
How It Works
The foundation of LogPressure Envelope is the logarithmic transformation of price. By operating in log space, the indicator removes distortions caused by large nominal price differences across assets, enabling consistent analysis of both low-priced and high-priced instruments.
A moving average of log prices is calculated (EMA, SMA, or WMA depending on user input) and then re-converted to normal price scale, forming the log midline. Standard deviation of log prices is then measured over a separate period, with independent multipliers for upside and downside deviations. This asymmetry captures the fact that markets often expand differently in bullish versus bearish phases.
Instead of plotting a filled cloud, the envelope is expressed as ten equidistant fan lines stretching from the lower to upper boundary. Each line is shaded progressively to visualize volatility clustering and directional strength without overloading the chart.
Trend determination is smoothed using a fade mechanism: shifts in bias do not flip instantly but gradually move toward the new state, producing fewer false transitions. Buy and sell markers are generated when trend strength crosses confirmation thresholds, ensuring signals are event-driven and contextually meaningful.
Signals and Visuals
LogPressure Envelope provides multiple layers of structured signals:
Midline Bias – Central moving average colored by rate-of-change, reflecting directional acceleration or deceleration.
Volatility Fan – Ten progressive lines forming a gradient between lower and upper bands, visually encoding volatility spread.
Buy Signals – Labels below bars when upward trend strength is confirmed.
Sell Signals – Labels above bars when downward trend strength is confirmed.
Candle Coloring – Optional shading of candles based on trend alignment with the log midline, highlighting bullish, bearish, or neutral conditions.
These signals remain clear even during high-volatility phases, with visual hierarchy maintained through progressive opacity control.
Interpretation
Trend Analysis : Midline direction and candle coloring provide continuous feedback on prevailing bias. Upward-sloping midlines with blue shading indicate bullish phases, while downward slopes with orange shading confirm bearish conditions.
Volatility and Risk Assessment : Expansion of fan lines indicates rising volatility and potential breakout conditions; contraction indicates consolidation and possible mean reversion.
Signal Confirmation : Buy and sell markers validate transitions when trend strength thresholds are crossed, aligning with volatility envelope dynamics.
Market Context : Asymmetric envelopes allow traders to see where bearish acceleration differs from bullish expansion, improving interpretation of liquidity conditions and institutional pressure.
Strategy Integration
LogPressure Envelope can be applied across trading styles:
Trend Following : Enter trades in the direction of midline bias, confirmed by buy or sell markers.
Pullback Entries : Use midline retests during trending conditions as lower-risk continuation points.
Volatility Breakouts : Identify sharp expansions in fan line spacing as early signals of directional moves.
Reversal Strategies : Fade extreme envelope touches when momentum shows exhaustion and fan contraction begins.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation : Align signals from higher and lower timeframes to reduce noise and validate trade setups.
Stop-loss levels can be set near the opposite envelope boundary, while targets may be managed through progressive volatility zones or midline convergence.
Advanced Techniques
For greater precision, LogPressure Envelope can be combined with other analytical tools:
Pair with volume or liquidity measures to validate breakout or reversal conditions.
Use momentum indicators to confirm ROC-based midline bias.
Track sequences of fan line expansions and contractions to anticipate regime shifts in volatility.
Apply across multiple timeframes to monitor how volatility clusters align at different market scales.
Adjusting parameters such as envelope multipliers, moving average type, and fade bars allows the indicator to adapt to diverse asset classes and volatility environments.
Inputs and Customization
Midline Type : Select EMA, SMA, or WMA.
Line Opacity : Control visibility of fan lines.
Enable Candle Coloring : Toggle trend-based bar shading.
MA Length / StdDev Length : Define periods for midline and volatility calculation.
Multipliers : Set asymmetric scaling for upside and downside envelopes.
Fade Bars : Control smoothness of trend strength transitions.
Fan Lines : Adjust number of envelope subdivisions for visualization granularity.
Why Use LogPressure Envelope
LogPressure Envelope translates complex volatility and trend interactions into a structured and adaptive framework. By combining logarithmic normalization, asymmetric standard deviation envelopes, and smoothed trend confirmation, it allows traders to:
Normalize price analysis across assets of different scales.
Visualize volatility expansion and contraction in real time.
Identify and confirm directional shifts with objective signal markers.
Apply a disciplined system for trend, breakout, and reversal strategies.
This indicator is designed for traders who want a systematic, visually clear approach to volatility-based market analysis without relying on static bands or arbitrary scaling.

Trend Pro - @CRYPTIK1Introduction: What is Trend Pro?
Trend Pro is a comprehensive trend analysis tool designed to give you a clear, at-a-glance understanding of the market's direction across multiple timeframes. In a noisy market, the single most important factor is the dominant trend. This indicator filters out the noise by focusing on one core principle: trading with the primary momentum of the market.
Instead of cluttering your chart with confusing signals, Trend Pro provides a clean, visual representation of the trend, helping you make more confident and informed trading decisions.
The Core Concept: The Power of Confluence
The strength of any trading decision comes from confluence—when multiple factors align to point in the same direction. Trend Pro is built on this idea. It uses a long-term moving average (200-period by default) to define the primary trend on your current chart and then pulls in data from three higher timeframes to confirm whether the broader market agrees with your analysis.
When your current timeframe and the higher timeframes are all aligned, you have a state of "confluence," which represents a higher-probability environment for trend-following trades.
This tool is designed to be a foundational layer for your trading system, providing the essential context you need before entering any trade.
Key Features
1. The Dynamic Trend MA:
The main moving average on your chart acts as your primary guide. Its color dynamically changes to give you an instant read on the market.
Green MA: The price is in a confirmed uptrend (trading above the MA).
Red MA: The price is in a confirmed downtrend (trading below the MA).
2. The Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Trend Dashboard:
Located discreetly in the bottom-right corner, this dashboard is your window into the broader market sentiment. It shows you the trend status (Up, Down, or Neutral) on three customizable higher timeframes.
Green Box: The trend is UP on that timeframe.
Red Box: The trend is DOWN on that timeframe.
Gray Box: The price is neutral or at the MA on that timeframe.
How to Use Trend Pro: A Simple Framework
Step 1: Identify the Primary Trend
Look at the color of the MA on your main chart. This is your starting point. If it's green, you should be looking for opportunities to go long. If it's red, you should be looking for opportunities to go short.
Step 2: Check for Confluence
Glance at the MTF Trend Dashboard.
Strong Confluence (High-Probability): If your main chart is in an uptrend (Green MA) and the dashboard shows all green boxes, the market is in a strong, unified uptrend. This is a high-probability environment to be a buyer.
Weak or No Confluence (Caution Zone): If your main chart is in an uptrend, but the dashboard shows red or gray boxes, it signals that the higher timeframes are not in agreement. This is a sign of market indecision and a lower-probability environment. It's often best to wait for the timeframes to align.
Best Practices & Settings
Timeframe Synergy: For the best results, use Trend Pro on a lower timeframe and set your dashboard to higher timeframes. For example, if you trade on the 1-hour chart, set your MTF dashboard to the 4-hour, 1-day, and 1-week to get a complete picture of the market.
Use as a Confirmation Tool: Trend Pro is not designed to be a standalone entry/exit system. Use it as the foundational layer of your analysis. First, confirm the trend with Trend Pro, then use your preferred entry method (e.g., support/resistance, chart patterns, or other indicators) to time your trade.
Nearest Rank For Loop - [JTCAPITAL]Nearest Rank For Loop is used for trend-following using the median of the data.
The indicator works by calculating in the following steps:
1. The median is calculated using the ranking length of the source and using "percentile nearest rank" to determine the middle value. This is done with the original length and the length devided by 3, averaged out to eliminate false signals from extremely fast and temporary market movements.
2. Over the length of the loop values get added based on the median being higher than the previous median.
3. The results of the for loop segment get smoothed out using an EMA.
--Buy and sell conditions--
-When the for loop values get above the long threshold we enter a buying condition, we dont exit the buying condition until the for loop values get below the short condition. Which signals a short.
-When the values stay between the thresholds the signal doesnt change. This and smoothing out the for loop values is used to eliminate false signals as much as possible.
--Features and Parameters--
-Allows the changing of the length of the ranking (median)
-Allows the usage of different sources
-Allows changing of the paramaters over the start and end of the for loop segment
-Allows changing the thresholds for longs and shorts
-Allows changing the parameter for the smoothing using an EMA
--Details--
Both the wide thresholds and the use of an EMA over the for loop values are used to eliminate as much false signals as possible. Aswell as deviding the length by 3 and taking the average from the medians. From testing this indicator we have found that using a very small value for the shorting gives the overall best performance. Since a fast market move wont immediately trigger a false signal, but it also wont massively delay entries and exits.
It is recommended to change the parameter settings for different asset classes and timeframes based off volatility and fast and confusing market movements.
Enjoy!
BB Crosses Optimized - [JTCAPITAL]BB Crosses Optimized is a modified way to use Bollinger Bands for Trend-Following
The indicator works by calculating in the following steps:
1. The source gets smoothed out using a moving average
2. Calculating the Bollinger Bands using the SMA of the smoothed source and the standard deviation of the smoothed source.
3. Trigger a signal based on current price and the buy/sell conditions.
--Buy and sell conditions--
-The buy and sell conditions are defined by the price going above/below the first standard deviation. When this goes on the opposite direction of the current trend, the trend changes. If this goes in the same direction of the current trend, the line follows the price by moving up with the standard deviation.
-When using the ATR filter the ATR gets subtracted from the lows or added onto the highs to eliminate false signals in choppy markets.
--Features and Parameters--
-Allows the usage of different sources
-Allows the usage of different moving average types
-Allows the changing of the length of the ATR
-Allows the changing of the length of the bollinger bands period
-Allows the changing of the standard deviation used from the bollinger bands
-Allows the changing of the length for smoothing out the price data
--Details--
This script is using multiple moving averages, sometimes even stacked upon eachother. And it also uses the moving average of the raw data on a short period to calculate the standard deviations. This in combination with the ATR filter is meant to eliminate as much false signals as I could. Without making all the entries and exits extremely delayed.
Be aware that disabling the ATR will allow for faster entries and exits but also allow for more false signals. It is recommended to change the parameters to fit your liking and to adjust to the timeframe you are working on.
Enjoy!
Adaptive HMA Trendfilter & Profit SpikesShort Description
Adaptive trend-following filter using Hull Moving Average (HMA) slope.
Includes optional Keltner Channel entries/exits and dynamic spike-based take-profit markers (ATR/Z-Score).
Optional Fast HMA for early entry visualization (not included in logic).
USER GUIDE:
1) Quick Overview
Trend Filter: Slow HMA defines Bull / Bear / Sideways (via slope & direction).
Entries / Exits:
Entry: Color change of the slow HMA (red→green = Long, green→red = Short), optionally filtered by the Keltner basis.
Exit: Preferably via Keltner Band (Long: Close under Upper Band; Short: Close above Lower Band).
Fallback: exit on opposite HMA color change.
Take-Profit Spikes: Marks abnormal moves (ATR, Z-Score, or both) as discretionary TP signals.
Fast HMA (optional): Purely visual for early entry opportunities; not part of the core trading logic (see §5).
2) Adding & Basic Setup
Add the indicator to your chart.
Open Settings (gear icon) and configure:
HMA: Slow HMA Length = 55, Slope Lookback = 10, Slope Threshold = 0.20%.
Keltner: KC Length = 20, Multiplier = 1.5.
Spike-TP: Mode = ATR+Z, ATR Length = 14, Z Length = 20, Cooldown = 5.
Optionally: enable Fast HMA (e.g., length = 20).
3) Input Parameters – Key Controls
Slow HMA Length: Higher = smoother, fewer but cleaner signals.
Slope Lookback: How far back HMA slope is compared against.
Slope Threshold (%): Minimum slope to avoid “Sideways” regime.
KC Length / Multiplier: Width and reactivity of Keltner Channels.
Exits via KC Bands: Toggle on/off (recommended: on).
Entries only above/below KC Basis: Helps filter out chop.
Spike Mode: Choose ATR, Z, or ATR+Z (stricter, fewer signals).
Spikes only when in position: TP markers show only when you’re in a trade.
4) Entry & Exit Logic
Entries
Long: Slow HMA turns from red → green, and (if filter enabled) Close > KC Basis.
Short: Slow HMA turns from green → red, and (if filter enabled) Close < KC Basis.
Exits
KC Exit (recommended):
Long → crossunder(close, Upper KC) closes trade.
Short → crossover(close, Lower KC).
Fallback Exit: If KC Exits are off → exit on opposite HMA color change.
Spike-TP (Discretionary)
Marks unusually large deviations from HMA.
Use for partial profits or tightening stops.
⚠️ Not auto-traded — only marker/alert.
5) Early Entry Opportunities (Fast HMA Cross – visual only)
The script can optionally display a Fast HMA (e.g., 20) alongside the Slow HMA (e.g., 55).
Bullish early hint: Fast HMA crosses above Slow HMA, or stays above, before the Slow HMA officially turns green.
Bearish early hint: opposite.
⚠️ These signals are not part of the built-in logic — they are purely discretionary:
Advantage: Earlier entries, more profit potential.
Risk: Higher chance of whipsaws.
Practical workflow (early long entry):
Fast HMA crosses above Slow HMA AND Close > KC Basis.
Enter small position with tight stop (under KC Basis or HMA swing).
Once Slow HMA confirms green → add to position or trail stop tighter.
6) Recommended Presets
Crypto (1h/2h):
HMA: 55 / 10 / 0.20–0.30%
KC: 20 / 1.5–1.8
Spikes: ATR+Z, ATR=14, Z=20, Cooldown 5
FX (1h/4h):
HMA: 55 / 8–10 / 0.10–0.25%
KC: 20 / 1.2–1.5
Indices (15m/1h):
HMA: 50–60 / 8–12 / 0.15–0.30%
KC: 20 / 1.3–1.6
Fine-tuning:
Too noisy? → Raise slope threshold or increase HMA length.
Too sluggish? → Lower slope threshold or shorten HMA length.
7) Alerts – Best Practice
Long/Short Entry – get notified when trend color switches & KC filter is valid.
Long/Short Exit – for KC exits or fallback exits.
Long/Short Spike TP – for discretionary profit-taking.
Set via TradingView: Create Alert → Select this indicator → choose condition.
8) Common Pitfalls & Tips
Too many false signals?
Raise slope threshold (more “Sideways” filtering).
Enable KC filter for entries.
Entries too late?
Use Fast HMA cross for early discretionary entries.
Or lower slope threshold slightly.
Spikes too rare/frequent?
More frequent → ATR mode or lower ATR multiplier / Z-threshold.
Rarer but stronger → ATR+Z with higher thresholds.
9) Example Playbook (Long Trade)
Regime: Slow HMA still red, Fast HMA crosses upward (early hint).
Filter: Close > KC Basis.
Early Entry: Small size, stop below KC Basis or recent swing low.
Confirmation: Slow HMA turns green → scale up or trail stop.
Management: Partial profits at Spike-TP marker; full exit at KC upper band break.
Session Open Candle MarkerThe "Session Open Candle Marker" is a Pine Script indicator designed for forex and futures traders using Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and RP Profits-inspired strategies. It marks the 15-minute opening range candles for the Asia, London, and NY sessions, where institutional "big players" often gather liquidity. Each session’s range is drawn as a rectangle with a customizable midpoint line, ideal for spotting breakouts, retests, and liquidity sweeps.
Features
Session Open Ranges: Plots rectangles for the 15m open candles of Asia (03:00 EEST), London (10:00 EEST), and NY (15:00 EEST), corresponding to 01:00, 08:00, and 13:00 GMT+1.
Customizable Visualization:
Toggle each session (Asia, London, NY) on/off.
Independent high/low label toggles for each session.
Adjustable rectangle color, midpoint line color, style (solid/dashed/dotted), and width.
Customizable rectangle duration (default: 96 bars, ~24 hours on 15m).
Timezone Flexibility: Default times are set for EEST (UTC+3). Adjust session inputs for your chart’s timezone (e.g., GMT+1: Asia 01:00, London 08:00, NY 13:00; UTC: Asia 00:00, London 07:00, NY 12:00).
Clean Design: Rectangles and labels update dynamically, with proper cleanup to avoid clutter.
Usage:
Setup: Add to a 15m chart (e.g., EURUSD, ES1!). Check your chart’s timezone (Chart Settings > Symbol > Timezone) and adjust session times if needed.
Settings:
Toggle sessions and labels to focus on desired ranges (e.g., London and NY for high volatility).
Customize colors, midpoint line style/width, and rectangle duration.
Trading:
Breakouts/Retests: Trade breakouts above/below the rectangle high/low, with retests back to the range or midpoint (aligned with RP Profits scalping).
Liquidity Sweeps: Watch for price sweeping session highs/lows, reversing for entries (SMC concept).
Strat Failed 2-Up/2-Down Scanner v2**Strat Failed 2-Up/2-Down Scanner**
The Strat Failed 2-Up/2-Down Scanner is designed for traders using The Strat methodology, developed by Rob Smith, to identify key reversal patterns in any market and timeframe. This indicator detects two specific candlestick patterns: Failed 2-Up (bearish) and Failed 2-Down (bullish), which signal potential reversals when a directional move fails to follow through.
**What It Does**
- **Failed 2-Up**: Identifies a bearish candle where the low and high are higher than the previous candle’s low and high, but the close is below the open, indicating a failed attempt to continue an uptrend. These are marked with a red candlestick, a red downward triangle above the bar, and a table entry.
- **Failed 2-Down**: Identifies a bullish candle where the high and low are lower than the previous candle’s high and low, but the close is above the open, signaling a failed downtrend. These are marked with a green candlestick, a green upward triangle below the bar, and a table entry.
- A table in the top-right corner displays the signal type ("Failed 2-Up" or "Failed 2-Down") and the ticker symbol for quick reference.
- Alerts are provided for both patterns, making the indicator compatible with TradingView’s screener for automated scanning.
**How It Works**
The indicator analyzes each candlestick’s high, low, and close relative to the previous candle:
- Failed 2-Up: `low > low `, `high > high `, `close < open`.
- Failed 2-Down: `high < high `, `low < low `, `close > open`.
When these conditions are met, the indicator applies visual markers (colored bars and triangles) and updates the signal table. Alert conditions trigger notifications for integration with TradingView’s alert system.
**How to Use**
1. Apply the indicator to any chart (stocks, forex, crypto, etc.) on any timeframe (e.g., 1-minute, hourly, daily).
2. Monitor the chart for red (Failed 2-Up) or green (Failed 2-Down) candlesticks with corresponding triangles.
3. Check the top-right table for the latest signal and ticker.
4. Set alerts by selecting “Failed 2-Up Detected” or “Failed 2-Down Detected” in TradingView’s alert menu to receive notifications (e.g., via email or app).
5. Use the signals to identify potential reversal setups in conjunction with other Strat-based analysis, such as swing levels or time-based strategies.

Its simplicity makes it accessible for both novice and experienced traders using The Strat methodology.
**Ideal For**
Day traders, swing traders, and scalpers looking to capitalize on reversal signals in trending or ranging markets. The indicator is versatile for any asset class and timeframe, enhancing trade decision-making with The Strat’s pattern-based approach.
