Market SniperThis Pine Script is a simplified trading algorithm designed to detect and signal potential buying and selling points based on the WaveTrend Oscillator and the volume traded.
Inputs and Setup:
The script initiates by defining key parameters: 'Wave Channel Length' (n1) set at 9 and 'Wave Average Length' (n2) set at 12. It also establishes a 'Volume Multiplier' (set at 2), and a 'Lookback Period' for volume calculation (set at 60 minutes). These values can be customized according to user preferences.
WaveTrend Oscillator Calculation:
It then calculates the WaveTrend Oscillator. The WaveTrend Oscillator is a momentum-based indicator that determines trend direction and potential reversal points. This is accomplished by applying an exponential moving average (EMA) and a simple moving average (SMA) to the average price data.
Volume Average Calculation:
Simultaneously, the script calculates the simple moving average of the volume over the defined 'Lookback Period'.
Buy and Sell Signals Definition:
The core of the trading signals lies in the crossing of the two lines of the WaveTrend Oscillator (wt1 and wt2) and whether the volume is higher than a certain threshold (defined by the 'Volume Multiplier' times the average volume). Specifically:
A 'Buy' signal is defined when the wt1 line crosses up the wt2 line and the volume is greater than the 'Volume Multiplier' times the average volume.
Conversely, a 'Sell' signal is defined when the wt1 line crosses down the wt2 line and the volume is greater than the 'Volume Multiplier' times the average volume.
Signal Plotting and Alert Creation:
Each time a 'Buy' or 'Sell' condition is met, the script plots a corresponding label directly on the price chart: a 'Buy' label below the bars for buy signals, and a 'Sell' label above the bars for sell signals. Additionally, it sets alerts based on these 'Buy' and 'Sell' signals with corresponding messages.

Complete Discrete Fourier Transform ToolkitThis is an expansion from my Discrete Fourier Transform Overlay indicator which offers various features that may be useful for traders wishing to apply frequency analysis or integral transform to their trading. For those unfamiliar with the concept, the discrete Fourier transform decomposes wave or wave-like data into functions depending on frequency. This can be helpful in demonstrating or interpreting trends and periodic frequencies in time-series price data, or oscillating indicators.
This toolkit has the following features:
Fourier bands (deviation cloud): The deviation cloud expresses the uncertainty in the DFT algorithm, as well as the relative change in frequency of the curve.
Fourier supertrend: The supertrend is applied as a product of the DFT algorithm, instead of onto the price data itself. This filters the supertrend from infrequent periodicities. For trading, this means that the supertrend will not be affected by false breakouts or breakdowns. See the image below for an example:
Future updates may include:
Projection of the probabilistic uncertainty principle. In a nutshell, the concept can be used to project uncertainties forwards through price data to forecast the path of least resistance, or, the most probable frequency.
Machine learning capabilities. Justin Doherty has done the Pine Script community a great service in introducing kNN algorithms with Lorentzian distance calculations; however, this is only the start of relativistic mechanics that can be applied to time series data. The DFT algorithm essentially filters data into its periodicities; this data can be inserted into a relativistic kNN algorithm - Lorenz or otherwise - to possibly improve accuracy.
Auto Motive Wave [Trendoscope]Earlier we created an interactive script to study Motive Waves by manually selecting the wave patterns on the chart.
You can find the open source script here:
In this indicator, we will try to do it automatically. Hence, you don't need to draw the waves manually to check anymore. The indicator will do it for you.
🎲 Conditions for Motive Wave
Rules for Motive Waves remain same as before. Motive wave can be either Impulse or Diagonal Wave. Diagonal wave can be either expanding or contracting diagonals. To learn more about diagonal waves, please go through this idea.
🎲 Rules for generic motive waves are as below
Pivots in order - Checks wether the pivots selected are in progressive order.
Directions in order - Checks if the pivot directions are correct - either PH, PL, PH, PL, PH, PL or PL, PH, PL, PH, PL, PH
Wave 2 never moves beyond the start of wave 1 - Wave 2 retracement is less than 100% of wave1
Wave 3 always moves beyond the end of wave 1 - Wave 3 retracement is more than 100% of wave2
Wave 3 is never the shortest one - Checks if Wave 3 is bigger than either Wave 1 or wave 5 or both.
🎲 Now, these are the specific rules for Impulse Waves on top of Motive Wave conditions
Wave 4 never moves beyond the end of Wave 1 - meaning wave 1 and wave 4 never overlap on price scale.
Wave 1, 3, 5 are all not extended. We check for retracement ratios of more than 200% to be considered as extended wave.
🎲 Below are the conditions for Diagonal Waves on top of Motive Wave conditions
Wave4 never moves beyond the start of Wave 3 - Wave 4 retracement is less than 100%
Wave 4 always ends within the price territory of Wave 1 - Unlike impulse wave, wave 4 intersects with wave 1 in case of diagonal waves. This is the major difference between impulse and diagonal wave.
Waves are progressively expanding or contracting - Wave1 > Wave3 > Wave5 and Wave2 > Wave4 to be contracting diagonal. Wave1 < Wave3 < Wave5 and Wave2 < Wave4 to be expanding diagonal wave.
Settings are for the indicator include option to select zigzag length, theme color, and few constraints about the waves to be scanned. You can use the tooltips to find more about them
Interactive Motive Wave ChecklistHere is an interactive tool that can be used for learning a bit about Elliott Waves
🎲 How it works?
The script upon load asks users to enter 6 pivots in an order. Once all 6 pivots are selected on the interactive chart, the script will calculate if the structure is a valid motive wave.
When you load the script, you will see a prompt on the chart to select points on the chart to form 6 pivots.
When you select the 6 pivots, the checklists are populated on the chart to notify users which conditions for qualifying the selection has passed and which of them are failed.
🎲 Conditions for Motive Wave
Motive wave can be either Impulse or Diagonal Wave. Diagonal wave can be either expanding or contracting diagonals. To learn more about diagonal waves, please go through this idea.

Wave 3 always moves beyond the end of wave 1 - Wave 3 retracement is more than 100% of wave2
Wave 3 is never the shortest one - Checks if Wave 3 is bigger than either Wave 1 or wave 5 or both.
Now, these are the specific rules for Impulse Waves on top of Motive Wave conditions
Wave 4 never moves beyond the end of Wave 1 - meaning wave 1 and wave 4 never overlap on price scale.
Wave 1, 3, 5 are all not extended. We check for retracement ratios of more than 200% to be considered as extended wave.
Below are the conditions for Diagonal Waves on top of Motive Wave conditions

Discrete Fourier Transform Overlay [wbburgin]The discrete Fourier transform (DFT) overlay uses a discrete Fourier transform algorithm to identify trend direction. This is a simpler interpretation that only uses the magnitude of the first frequency component obtained from the DFT algorithm, but can be useful for visualization purposes. I haven't seen many Fourier scripts on TradingView that actually have the magnitude plotted on the chart (some have lines, for instance, but that makes it difficult to look into the past or to see previous lines).
About the Discrete Fourier Transform
The DFT is a mathematical transformation that decomposes a time-domain signal into its constituent frequency components. By applying the DFT to OHLC data, we can interpret the periodicities and trends present in the market. I've designed the overlay so that you can choose your source for the Fourier transform, as well as the length.
Settings and Configuration
The "Fourier Period" is the transform length of the DFT algorithm. This input indicates the number of data points considered for the DFT calculation. For example, if this input is set to 20, the DFT will be performed on the most recent 20 data points of the input series. The transform length affects the resolution and accuracy of the frequency analysis. A shorter transform length may provide a broader frequency range but with less detail, while a longer transform length can provide finer frequency resolution but may be computationally more intensive (I recommend using under 100 - anything above that might take too much time to load on the platform).
The "Fourier X Series" is the source you want the Fourier transform to be applied to. I have it set in default to the close.
"Kernel Smoothing" is the bar-start of the rational quadratic kernel used to smooth the frequency component. Think of it just like a normal moving average if you are unfamiliar with the concept, it functions similarly to the "length" value of a moving average.
DB ZEMAThe DB ZEMA indicator is a no repaint indicator that is designed to local trends and local tops/bottoms. Since the indicator does not repaint, decisions can be made upon bar/period OPEN.
That means, when the indicator turns red indicating a market top is finished, then a decision can be made to close at the OPEN of that period. Likewise, when the indicator turns green, a decision can be made to buy at OPEN or during the current bar.
Additionally, traders may use the ZEMA level to get insight on the strength of the asset. For example, when the ZEMA is below -50 that would indicate a major low or weakness is present. ZEMAs under a certain threshold can indicate very good investment long entry points. Alternatively, zooming the chart out to view a long range of periods can show a pattern of common low ZEMA levels can be used as a baseline for good entry points. The same holds true for existing a long or entering a short.
Using a combination of the ZEMA color and the ZEMA level it's can be easy to tell smart entry and exist points. Especially on the weekly or higher timeframes.
For traders wanting real time data, there is a setting to disable the no-repaint mode to display the current real time ZEMA value. Traders may also adjust the length. By default the length of 10 is provided which is excellent for Weekly. We recommend a length of less than 10 for even high timeframes. For example a length of 2 is excellent on 4 Month timeframe for looking at market cycles, etc.
Finally the indicator offers the ability to change the symbol. This can be helpful in crypto in comparing the chart asset again BTC or similar.

Dual Dynamic Fibonacci Retracement — Long and Short Duration
Title : "The Dual-Dynamic Fibonacci Retracement Script: An Advanced Tool for Comprehensive Market Analysis"
As the author of the "Dual-Dynamic Fibonacci Retracement Script", I am delighted to introduce you to this cutting-edge tool for technical analysis. Unlike conventional Fibonacci scripts, this advanced model incorporates multiple unique features and adjustments that make it a powerful asset for any market analyst. Whether you're dealing with forex, commodities, equities or any other market, this script is versatile enough to enhance your trading strategy.
Uniqueness & Differentiation:
The "Dual-Dynamic Fibonacci Script" stands out by offering two distinct lookback periods. This feature is what separates it from other scripts available in the market. The first lookback period is longer, focusing on capturing broader market trends. The second lookback period is shorter, allowing for a more granular analysis of near-term market fluctuations. This dual perspective provides a more comprehensive view of the market, allowing you to see both the forest and the trees at the same time.
Fibonacci Levels:
While offering the standard Fibonacci retracement levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, and 1.0), the script also gives you the ability to plot 0.114 and 0.886 levels. These additional levels offer an extra layer of depth to your analysis, and can prove crucial in high-volatility markets where they often serve as significant support and resistance points.
Customizable Line Shifts and Extends:
This script provides options for customization of the shift and extension of the plotted lines. This means you can adjust the start and end points of the Fibonacci lines according to your personal trading style and strategy. This level of personalization is not typically available in other scripts, and it allows for a more tailored visual representation.
Flexible Trading Positioning:
Depending on whether the closing price is above or below the midpoint of the pivot high and pivot low, the Fibonacci retracement levels are adjusted accordingly. This ensures the script remains relevant and useful regardless of market conditions.
Clean Visualization:
To prevent clutter and maintain focus on the most relevant price action, the script removes old Fibonacci lines and plots new ones once a new pivot high or low is identified. This clean visualization helps keep your analysis focused and sharp.
How to Use the Script:
To get started, simply adjust the lookback periods according to your trading strategy. If you're a long-term investor or prefer swing trading, a longer lookback period might be appropriate. Conversely, if you're a day trader, a shorter lookback period might be more beneficial.
The "Shift" and "Extend" inputs allow you to control the positioning of the Fibonacci lines on your chart. Positive values shift the lines to the right, while negative values shift them to the left.
You also have the choice to plot the additional Fibonacci levels (0.114 and 0.886) via the "Plot 0.114 and 0.886 levels?" input. Similarly, the "Plot second set of levels?" input lets you decide whether to display the second set of Fibonacci levels derived from the shorter lookback period.
Like any technical analysis tool, this script is most effective when used in conjunction with other indicators and methods of analysis. It is designed to work well in trending markets, where Fibonacci retracements can often indicate potential reversal levels. However, it's always recommended to use a holistic approach to market analysis to maximize the likelihood of successful trades.
Note: the two lines drawn on the chart are there to help the user identify the levels from which the two respective Fib sequences are calculated.
~~~
Input Explanations:
Long Period Pivot High/Low Lookback and Short Period Pivot High/Low Lookback : These settings determine the length of the lookback periods for the long-term and short-term pivot points, respectively. A pivot point is a technical analysis indicator used to determine the overall trend of the market over different time frames. The pivot points are then used to calculate the Fibonacci levels. A longer lookback period will identify pivot points over a broader time frame, capturing major market trends, while a shorter lookback period will identify pivot points over a narrower time frame, capturing more immediate market movements.
Long Period Fibonacci Level Shift and Short Period Fibonacci Level Shift : These inputs control the shift of the Fibonacci levels based on the long and short lookback periods, respectively. If you want to shift the Fibonacci levels to the right, increase the value. If you want to shift the Fibonacci levels to the left, decrease the value. This allows you to adjust the Fibonacci levels to better align with your analysis.
Long Period Fibonacci Level Extend and Short Period Fibonacci Level Extend : These inputs control the extension of the Fibonacci levels based on the long and short lookback periods, respectively. If you want the Fibonacci levels to extend further to the right, increase the value. If you want the Fibonacci levels to extend less to the right, decrease the value. This feature provides the flexibility to adjust the length of the Fibonacci levels according to your personal trading preferences and strategy.
Plot 0.114 and 0.886 levels? : This setting gives you the ability to plot the additional 0.114 and 0.886 Fibonacci levels. These levels provide extra depth to your analysis, particularly in highly volatile markets where they can act as significant support and resistance levels.
Plot second set of levels? : This input allows you to decide whether to plot the second set of Fibonacci levels based on the short lookback period. Displaying this second set of levels can provide a more granular view of market movements and potential reversal points, enhancing your overall analysis.
SuperBollingerTrend (Expo)█ Overview
The SuperBollingerTrend indicator is a combination of two popular technical analysis tools, Bollinger Bands, and SuperTrend. By fusing these two indicators, SuperBollingerTrend aims to provide traders with a more comprehensive view of the market, accounting for both volatility and trend direction. By combining trend identification with volatility analysis, the SuperBollingerTrend indicator provides traders with valuable insights into potential trend changes. It recognizes that high volatility levels often accompany stronger price momentum, which can result in the formation of new trends or the continuation of existing ones.
█ How Volatility Impacts Trends
Volatility can impact trends by expanding or contracting them, triggering trend reversals, leading to breakouts, and influencing risk management decisions. Traders need to analyze and monitor volatility levels in conjunction with trend analysis to gain a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics.
█ How to use
Trend Reversals: High volatility can result in more dramatic price fluctuations, which may lead to sharp trend reversals. For example, a sudden increase in volatility can cause a bullish trend to transition into a bearish one, or vice versa, as traders react to significant price swings.
Volatility Breakouts: Volatility can trigger breakouts in trends. Breakouts occur when the price breaks through a significant support or resistance level, indicating a potential shift in the trend. Higher volatility levels can increase the likelihood of breakouts, as they indicate stronger market momentum and increased buying or selling pressure. This indicator triggers when the volatility increases, and if the price is near a key level when the indicator alerts, it might trigger a great trend.
█ Features
Peak Signal Move
The indicator calculates the peak price move for each ZigZag and displays it under each signal. This highlights how much the market moved between the signals.
Average ZigZag Move
All price moves between two signals are stored, and the average or the median is calculated and displayed in a table. This gives traders a great idea of how much the market moves on average between two signals.
Take Profit
The Take Profit line is placed at the average or the median price move and gives traders a great idea of what they can expect in average profit from the latest signals.

Wyckoff Wave Volume
What Is Wyckoff Wave Volume and How Does It Work?
It is the cumulative sum of exchanged (sold/bought) shares or contracts on a given wave (downward or upward) in a given time plotted below the chart as volume histogram. It shows how much trade is taking place on a given wave. Values are displayed below the chart as opposed to the Wyckoff Wave Chart indicator which displays these values as numbers plotted on the chart.
As you can see in the attached chart, volume candles usually only show a single buyer and seller exposure on the chart. On a normal volume, "Volume Spike" are clearly visible, which play an important role in the analysis. However, the cumulative volume on a wave gives us much more information and shows exactly on which waves the biggest purchases or the biggest sales take place. As in the attached chart, we can see how buyers aggressively carried out the final accumulation action just before the range breakout. In the analysis of the Wyckoff method, cumulative volume is a key indicator to assess the strength or weakness of the market.
It works very similarly the other way around (distribution). Before the market changes direction after large increases, downward waves are characterized by very high volume, which is drawn on the histogram as ultra-high bars. This is information about the distribution carried out by the players - taking profits after increases or opening shorts.
Wyckoff Wave Volume for TradingView
Wyckoff Wave Volume is the best tool to identify turning points in all markets. Money plays in the market, not set ups. Therefore, in order to earn money, you must play in the same direction as the professionals! It is thanks to the observation of the volume that you can know which side the professionals (Smart Money) are on and trade in accordance with their direction. You can also "look" inside the chart and see on the numbers or graphical histogram who controls the market at a given moment - Buyer or the Seller.
Let's Start From The Beginning!
Wyckoff Wave Volume created by Richard Wyckoff in early 1930' were a breakthrough in technical analysis. In his famous technical analysis course, he told his students to "think like waves". Volume analysis was an integral part of his way of investing. During the period when Wyckoff was active in the financial markets wave volume was calculated manually, we now have a fully automated version for TradingView. Using Wyckoff Cumulative Volume you will be surprised how well it identifies turning points in all markets and on any time frame. This tool is very helpful in predicting trend changes in all markets like forex, crypto, futures and stocks.
In order for the indicator to work well on all charts, it is necessary to set the appropriate step in its settings.
"Step" is the wave setting to be taken into account when counting the volume on a given swing. The standard setting for each round is 30. This is the measure of pips on which the next upward or downward wave is to be counted. However, for individual assets, these settings can be adjusted individually.
Weis Wave-Wave TypesWeis Wave - Waves Types indicator
The Concept
This indicator has been created based on David's Weis theory of cumulative volume histograms but this indicator has been enhanced with additional wave types to be able to identify the following:
Visually identify the Effort vs Result concept (too much volume but small pip move or small volume too large pip move). Imbalance of Supply and Demand.
Be able to monitor how volume progresses within the wave, if it is increasing, decreasing or staying steady.
Identify easily the large volume waves using the emphasized volume algorithm to analyze the price reaction afterwards following the theory that Institutions participate on large volumes
What it does
This indicator draws cumulative histograms of 5 different wave types. Up swing histogram is when price goes up and down swing histogram is when price goes down. It adds the volume of each bar within the wave swing, it adds the pips of each bar within the wave swing , it adds the time of each bar within the wave swing, it measures if the volume rate is increasing or decreasing within the wave swing and emphasizes on larger volume volume waves by increasing their size for visual purposes.
How it does it
The length of each cumulative histogram is equal to each wave price swing. The price wave sensitivity can be adjusted by AutoSensitivity parameter (min value =2 and max value=11). The larger the number the more sensitive it is, which means more wave swings will be created. The selectable values for the wave type are: Volume, Pips, Time, Progressive Volume Rate or Emphasized Volume. Furthermore the width of the cumulative histogram bars can be adjusted as well as the color of the up and the down swings. Finally divider input values are available for volume and pip to decrease large numbers on the y-axis of the histograms.
Wave Type Detailed Explanation
Volume: the indicator adds the volume of each bar within the price wave swing and creates a cumulative histogram
Pips: the indicator adds the bar distance from open to close and creates a cumulative histogram of the net pip movement of the price swing
Time: adds the time of each bar within the price wave swing and creates a cumulative histogram
Progressive Volume Rate (PVR): measures the volume rate within each wave (if volume is increasing or decreasing or staying steady as the wave progresses)
Emphasized Volume: the indicator adds the volume of each bar within the price wave swing and creates a cumulative histogram but contains an algorithm that emphasizes the large waves.
How to Use
Draw Support/Resistance and Fib - Monitor carefully the cumulative histograms at these levels. Usually supply and demand imbalance happens at this level.
First and most important of all adjust AutoSesnsitivity to get your swings correct. Getting the correct swings means waves are catching the tops and bottoms of each price wave swings.
Then identify potential trades by:
1. Comparison of cumulative Volume histogram vs Pip histogram which makes the concept of Wyckoff "Effort versus Result" identifiable, lot's of volume with small pip move = lot's of effort vs with small result. Supply and Demand imbalance.
2. Monitor Progressive Volume Rate histogram which measures if the volume rate is increasing, decreasing or remains steady within the price wave swing. This histogram indicates more or less participation as price increases or decreases within the specific wave. For example increase of volume rate as price goes up could mean more participation which could mean that sellers might be entering. Also the opposite is valid increasing volume rate as price goes down could mean that buyers are entering.
3. Emphasized Volume waves, provide a visual emphases on large volume waves only, useful for traders that like to trade with high volume trends and for traders that believe that in large volume waves large institutes participate. Trade with price trend but also with the volume trend concept.
What makes it unique
This indicator is an advance cumulative wave histogram because apart the regular volume histogram and apart form using each wave type individually to make a decision it provides more confidence and becomes more powerful when confluence is used combining the other wave types and by using the strategies mentioned above to a higher probability trade. Some examples are shown below

This is the measure of pips on which the next upward or downward wave is to be counted. However, for individual assets, these settings can be adjusted individually.
Another important setting is the "Volume Divider" - the cumulative volume numbers on a given swing displayed on the chart will be different for different assets. In the case of penny stocks, it can be even millions of listed assets. In order for the chart not to display too long numbers, you can divide it by 1000 / 10000 / 100000. In the case of small intervals such as 1 or 5 minute charts, "O" may appear at the ends of swings. You should then reduce the "Volume Divider" to 1 or 10.

Triple Top Patterns [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically draws triple top patterns and price projections derived from the ranges that constitute the patterns.
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a close price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a close price that is lower than the price it opened.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Peak and Trough Prices (Basic)
• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Broken and Unbroken Peaks and Troughs
Upon the completion of a new swing low the high of the green candle that completes the swing low will be above, below or equal to the current peak price. And similarly, upon the completion of a new swing high the low of the red candle that completes the swing high will be above, below or equal to the current trough price.
If the high price of the green candle that completes the current swing low is higher than or equal to the current peak price then the current peak is broken. If the high of the green candle that completes the current swing low is below the current peak price, then the current peak is unbroken.
Similarly, if the low price of the red candle that completes the current swing high is lower than or equal to the current trough price then the current trough is broken. If the low price of the red candle that completes the current swing high is above the current trough price, then the current trough is unbroken.
Range
The range is simply the difference between the current peak and current trough prices, generally expressed in terms of points or pips.
Retracement and Extension Ratios
Retracement and extension ratios are calculated by dividing the current range by the preceding range and multiplying the answer by 100. Retracement ratios are those that are equal to or below 100% of the preceding range and extension ratios are those that are above 100% of the preceding range.
Triple Bottom and Triple Top Patterns
• Triple bottom patterns are composed of two peaks and three troughs, with the second and third troughs being roughly equal to the first trough.
• Triple top patterns are composed of two troughs and three peaks, with the second and third peaks being roughly equal to the first peak.
Measurement Tolerances
In general, tolerance in measurements refers to the allowable variation or deviation from a specific value or dimension. It is the range within which a particular measurement is considered to be acceptable or accurate. In this script I have applied this concept to the measurement of triple bottom and triple top patterns to increase to the frequency of pattern occurrences.
For example, a perfect triple bottom is very rare. We can increase the frequency of pattern occurrences by setting a tolerance. A ratio tolerance of 10% to both downside and upside, which is the default setting, means we would have a tolerable ratio measurement range between 90-110% for the second and third troughs as ratios of the first trough, thus increasing the frequency of occurrence.

█ LIMITATIONS
All green and red candle calculations are based on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. This may cause some unexpected behaviour on some markets and timeframes. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with.

And similarly, upon the completion of a new swing high the low of the red candle that completes the swing high will be above, below or equal to the current trough price.
If the high price of the green candle that completes the current swing low is higher than or equal to the current peak price then the current peak is broken. If the high of the green candle that completes the current swing low is below the current peak price, then the current peak is unbroken.
Similarly, if the low price of the red candle that completes the current swing high is lower than or equal to the current trough price then the current trough is broken. If the low price of the red candle that completes the current swing high is above the current trough price, then the current trough is unbroken.
Range
The range is simply the difference between the current peak and current trough prices, generally expressed in terms of points or pips.
Retracement and Extension Ratios
Retracement and extension ratios are calculated by dividing the current range by the preceding range and multiplying the answer by 100. Retracement ratios are those that are equal to or below 100% of the preceding range and extension ratios are those that are above 100% of the preceding range.
Triple Bottom and Triple Top Patterns
• Triple bottom patterns are composed of two peaks and three troughs, with the second and third troughs being roughly equal to the first trough.
• Triple top patterns are composed of two troughs and three peaks, with the second and third peaks being roughly equal to the first peak.
Measurement Tolerances
In general, tolerance in measurements refers to the allowable variation or deviation from a specific value or dimension. It is the range within which a particular measurement is considered to be acceptable or accurate. In this script I have applied this concept to the measurement of triple bottom and triple top patterns to increase to the frequency of pattern occurrences.
For example, a perfect triple bottom is very rare. We can increase the frequency of pattern occurrences by setting a tolerance. A ratio tolerance of 10% to both downside and upside, which is the default setting, means we would have a tolerable ratio measurement range between 90-110% for the second and third troughs as ratios of the first trough, thus increasing the frequency of occurrence.

█ LIMITATIONS
All green and red candle calculations are based on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. This may cause some unexpected behaviour on some markets and timeframes. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with.

• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Broken and Unbroken Peaks and Troughs
Upon the completion of a new swing low the high of the green candle that completes the swing low will be above, below or equal to the current peak price. And similarly, upon the completion of a new swing high the low of the red candle that completes the swing high will be above, below or equal to the current trough price.
If the high price of the green candle that completes the current swing low is higher than or equal to the current peak price then the current peak is broken. If the high of the green candle that completes the current swing low is below the current peak price, then the current peak is unbroken.
Similarly, if the low price of the red candle that completes the current swing high is lower than or equal to the current trough price then the current trough is broken. If the low price of the red candle that completes the current swing high is above the current trough price, then the current trough is unbroken.
Range
The range is simply the difference between the current peak and current trough prices, generally expressed in terms of points or pips.
Upper Trends
• A return line uptrend is formed when the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price.
• A double-top is formed when the current peak price is equal to the preceding peak price.
Lower Trends
• An uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price.
• A return line downtrend is formed when the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
• A double-bottom is formed when the current trough price is equal to the preceding trough price.
Wave Cycles
A wave cycle is here defined as a complete two-part move between a swing high and a swing low, or a swing low and a swing high. The first swing high or swing low will set the course for the sequence of wave cycles that follow; for example a chart that begins with a swing low will form its first complete wave cycle upon the formation of the first complete swing high and vice versa.

Retracement and Extension Ratios
Retracement and extension ratios are calculated by dividing the current range by the preceding range and multiplying the answer by 100. Retracement ratios are those that are equal to or below 100% of the preceding range and extension ratios are those that are above 100% of the preceding range.
Bullish and Bearish Flag Patterns
• Bullish flags are generally composed of three troughs and two peaks. The first peak being higher than the second peak and the second trough being higher than the first trough. The third trough must be lower than the second trough but higher than the first.
• Bearish flags are generally composed of three peaks and two troughs. The first trough being lower than the second trough and the second peak being lower than the first peak. The third peak must be higher than the second peak but lower than the first.
In this script I have used minimum and maximum retracement and extension ratios to set parameters for pattern identification:
• Wave 1 of the pattern, referred to as AB, is set to a minimum ratio of 100%.
• Wave 2 of the pattern, referred to as BC, is set to a maximum ratio of 30%.
• Wave 3 of the pattern, referred to as CD, has no ratio measurements but will always be below 100% by default.
• Wave 4 of the pattern, referred to as DE, has no ratio measurements but will always be above 100% by default.
• The last measure, referred to as BE, is that of the range set between points B and E as a ratio of the range set by wave 1, which is set to a maximum ratio of 40%.

█ LIMITATIONS
All green and red candle calculations are based on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. This may cause some unexpected behaviour on some markets and timeframes. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with.

Weis Wave With Speed Index SignalsWeis Wave with Speed Index Signals
The Concept
This indicator has been created to try to quantify "Change in Behavior" concept and provide buy and sell based on this concept. What is Change in Behavior? Price is moving at speed rate based on the trading volume direction (buyers and sellers) until there is imbalance of Supply/Demand. An algorithm has been created to identify this change of Supply/Demand behavior producing a number called "Speed Index". Abnormal Speed Index notes this change in behavior when compared with previous Speed Index numbers of the same pair and in the same timeframe. Speed Index is a relevant number and it's use is to be compared with previous Speed Index numbers and not as an absolute number. Based on Speed Index Behavior of recent waves, price and price wave structure buy and sell signals are available called Plutus.
What it does
This indicator draws a waveline of price waves swings. Up swing is when price goes up and down swing is when price goes down. It adds the volume of each bar within the wave swing, it measures the distance in pips of each swing and measure the numbers of bars of each swing. Furthermore, it creates the Speed Index of each swing, the average Speed Index of x selectable wave swings back as well as the average of Speed Index of the x up swings back and the average of the down swing. The indicator is also able to designate a Fast wave which means large pip move with small volume with the letter "F" displayed next to Speed Index and a Slow wave which small pip move with small volume with the letter "S". Finally based on price, Speed Index history and structure it creates eight buy/sell signals called Plutus.
Information available for display all selectable
For each wave swing: Total Volume, Pip Distance, Number of Bars or Total Volume + Pips or Total Volume + Pip Distance+Total Number of Bars
For each wave swing: Speed Index or Total Volume + Speed Index or Speed Index + Average Speed Index or Speed Index+(F or S).
Plutus buy and sell signals when criteria of price location, speed index comparison (abnormal speed index) and wave price structure have been met.
How it does it
This indicator draws a wave-line of price waves swings. Wave Sensitivity can be adjusted by AutoSensitivity parameter (min value =2 and max value=11). The larger the number the more sensitive it is, which means more wave swings will be created. All calculations are based on each wave swing. The code calculates all the above mentioned on the "Information available for Display" section. Based on price, Speed Index history, Speed Index ratio and structure Plutus buy and sell signals are created. The default value of Speed Index ratio is 2. Decreasing Speed Index ratio will create more signals while increasing it will create less signals.
Note: last wave re-paints and no information is displayed on the forming wave, but the whole trading methodology is based on reading previous waves information.
Technical Information
Speed Index
High Speed Index number means a slow wave "S" = Abnormal Speed (high volume small pip move)
Low Speed Index number means a fast wave "F" =Anormal Speed (small volume large pip move)
Normal Speed Index number (are the more frequent numbers seen in the chart which means that the market agrees with the move).
Plutus Signals
PL - Plutus Long, this is when the price will follow in the same direction of the wave with the High Speed Index. When signal is generated we enter when price close breaks the previous two wave structure Resistance Level
PS - Plutus Short, same as above, this is when the price will follow in the same direction of the wave with the High Speed Index. When signal is generated, we enter when price close breaks the previous two wave structure Support Level
PRL - Plutus Reversal Long, this is when the price will go in the opposite direction of the wave with the High Speed Index.
PRS - Plutus Reversal Short, same as above, this is when the price will go in the opposite direction of the wave with the High Speed Index.
PFL - Plutus Fake Long, this when price will do a fast break of the previous down swing bottom and then comes back within the previous swing range (fake break)
PFL - Plutus Fake Short, this when price will do a fast break of the previous up swing top and then comes back within the previous swing range (fake break)
WU - Wyckoff Upthrust plutus (short signal)- this is when the last two swings resemble(are) Wyckoff's UpThrust pattern price swings. This resemblance together with Speed Index criteria and price break of structure create this signal.
WS - Wyckoff Spring plutus(long signal)- this is when the last two swings resemble(are) Wyckoff's pattern price swings. This resemblance together with Speed Index criteria and price break of structure create this signal.
How to use it
Draw Support/Resistance and Fib - usually supply and demand imbalance happens at his level
First and most important of all adjust AutoSesnsitivity to get your swings correct, meaning that are catching the tops and bottoms of each price wave swing.
Monitor Speed Index behavior. Be alerted from Abnormal Speed Index number. You can also set using the Extreme Threshold parameter that provide you an alert if the current Speed Index is above or below average Speed Index of x waves back and also meets the min and max bar criteria. For example if we would like to be alerted for a an Abnormal Speed Index of a Slow wave of at 3 bars then we have set the Min Slow Bar parameter to 3, the Extreme Threshold parameter to 0.5 (50%) and the Avg Waves back to 8 then an alert will be produced if the wave before the forming has at least 3 bars and the Speed Index of the wave is 50% higher than the Average Speed Index calculated from 8 waves back. For a Fast wave we can set the Min Fast Bars to 1, Extreme Threshold to 50% and Avg Waves back to 8 which means that we will get an alert if the wave before the forming one has at least 1 bar and it's Speed Index is at least 50% less than the Speed Index Average of 8 waves back.
Plutus signals provide buy and sell entries after specific criteria have been met. These signals have a higher success rate when price is exiting a range or when price is leaving from Support/Resistance or Fib. Consider Plutus signals invalid within a range unless is the exit of the range (Range Break)
What makes it unique
The ability to identify, quantify and be alerted of the Change in Behavior of waves swings when compared with recent previous wave swings making it easier for the trader to be notified about Supply / Demand imbalance. Furthermore, another unique point of this indicator is the Plutus signals providing buy and sell entries. Plutus entries take into consideration this Abnormal Behavior, the wave swings structure and price location.
Example Trades
Wyckoff Up- rust formation strategy- Reading the chart
1. We have broken a Resistance Level with a Fast Speed Index of 0.7F
2. Abnormal Speed Index of 2.3 provides the alert for abnormal Speed Index behavior. There is not a high Speed Index like that in all the up wave swings which automatic makes it abnormal Supply Demand imbalance.
3. WU - Wyckoff Up-trust plutus signal has been created, which means Short.
4. PRS - Plutus Reversal Short also created at the same location which makes the Short even a higher probability trade
5. Entry: We enter Short on the close of the bar
Exit from Range Strategy - Reading the chart
1. We are in a Ranging environment
2. PS and PRS are invalid signals because according to the rules mentioned previously we do not trade any signals created within the range when the price does not break the range.
3. PRL - Plutus Reversal Long which means that price will move in the opposite direction of the High Speed Index (the 2.2) is a valid signal since price breaks the top of the range
4. Entry Long after breaking the top of the range
PRL after Support hit Strategy and Exit from Range Strategy - Reading the chart
In this we have two different strategies available. The first one is Plutus Reversal Long signal after hitting support and the second on an Exit from Range.
The Story:
1. We have hit support (double bottom)
2. Speed Index 2.2 at the bottom is on the High side, not too extreme but on the high side.
3. A PRL long signal is generated which means that price will move in the opposite direction of the 2.2 Speed Index
4. Entry Long on the close of the bar- This trade has provided 482 pips of profit
5. Price goes into Range
6. Classic textbook strategy Exit from Range with Plutus. We get a PL Plutus Long signal which means price will follow the directions of the high Speed Index wave and in this case is the 2.7 wave
7. Entry Long after the range break. This trade provided 384 pips up to now.
XPrecisionSwing (XPS)* XPrecisionSwing (XPS) Indicator *
Is a visual representation of the Forces of Supply / Demand in the markets in the form of UP and DOWN waves. The Supply / Demand (denoted by a number on top or below the wave line) is computed using the *MBox Precision Supply / Demand* algorithm. These numbers diligently show the forces of Supply and Demand moving price in the markets. The algorithm for computing the numbers on the top and bottom of the wave lines measures the strength of the Supply / Demand. It is this algorithm that makes this indicator unique as it gives an accurate representation of the forces pulling the market up and down. When forces oppose each other, meaning when the direction of price does not agree with the direction of the Supply or Demand it creates a divergence and an opportunity in the markets. These situations are called BUY / SELL Imbalances. Explanation about this below.
* WHAT THE SCRIPT DOES *
The XPrecisionSwing indicator draws swing waves lines going up and down. These waves lines are representative of Supply and Demand. Waves going up are Demand, while waves going down are Supply. The strength of the Supply / Demand corresponds to the number drawn either on top of the wave line or below it. The numbers drawn on the chart are powered by the *MBox Precision Supply / Demand* algorithm, which are representative of the Forces of Supply / Demand in the markets. This is not just volume added up like in a regular zig zag indicator, since volume alone does not show Supply / Demand, and regular volume will not show BUY / SELL Imbalances as depicted by XPrecisionSwing. Volume summated will not show both positive and negative numbers on the chart. Having Supply / Demand split into both positive and negative numbers allows us to see BUY / SELL Imbalances, which can be a very powerful divergence. Information on how these numbers are computed are in the "HOW IT WORKS" section.
The numbers drawn on the chart can be either negative or positive. Positive relates to Demand, while negative relates to Supply. In this manner the strength of Supply and Demand can be gauged in each wave. If the price goes up but the number is negative (More Supply) it is a divergence and called a SELL Imbalance. This means there was more Supply even though price went up. It is important to pay attention to these scenarios, as often it can be indicative of NO DEMAND. Conversely. if the price goes down but the number is positive (No Demand) it is a divergence and is called a BUY Imbalance. This means there was more Demand even though price went down. This is indicative of NO SUPPLY. As such, it now becomes possible to know when there is a sign of Supply, Demand, No Supply, No Demand, Supply Exhaustion, and Demand exhaustion. Supply occurs when the negative numbers on the charts begin to increase (more negatively). Demand occurs when the positive numbers on the chart begin to increase (more positively). A Supply Exhaustion pattern happens when the price is starting to move down more slowly, while Supply is decreasing, and Demand is increasing. This means that the behavior of the market is changing and also a signal to look to reverse positions. A Demand Exhaustion pattern happens when the price is starting to move up more slowly, while Demand is decreasing, and Supply is increasing. The behavior of the market here is also changing.
* HOW IT WORKS *
- Technical Details for the Numbers on the Swing -
The numbers on the chart represent Supply / Demand. Supply or Demand is determined by analyzing the movement of price and quantity of volume.
When price goes up and is combined with an increase in volume it is Expansion of Demand.
(Positive Numbers get larger)
However if price goes up and is combined with a decrease in volume it is Contraction of Demand.
(Positive Numbers get smaller)
When price goes down and is combined with an increase in volume it is Expansion of Supply.
(Negative Numbers get larger)
However if price goes down and is combined with a decrease in volume it is Contraction of Supply.
(Negative Numbers get smaller)
- Technical Details for the Swing -
The way XPrecisionSwing draws the swings is fractal in nature, which make it very convenient and easier to use over the traditional zig zag indicator. The traditional zig zag indicator uses a tick reversal which needs to be adjusted every time you change time frames. However, with XPrecisionSwing you do not have to change any settings every time you load a different time frame since it will adjust to any time frame you are loading. How the swing is drawn is explained below.
XPrecisionSwing uses 3 bars (by default) to define a swing
This parameter can be adjusted. Can be 1, 2, 4 bars, etc...
Swings are always drawn using High / Low of the bar
- Rules -
To start upswing, bar high needs to be higher than previous 3 candle highs
To start downswing, bar low needs to be lower than previous 3 candle lows
If in upswing, a higher high will continue the upswing
if in downswing, a lower low will continue the downswing
- Exceptions -
If outside bar (both high and low exceeds previous 3 bars) swing will continue in current direction
- Swing Confirmation -
Swing wave line in progress (unconfirmed) is denoted by a brown box around the swing number
Once the brown box disappears, that swing wave and number is confirmed
* HOW TO USE IT *
As the numbers on the down waves increase (negatively), this shows that the bears have taken control of the markets. Conversely, as the numbers on the up waves increase (positively), this shows the bulls have taken control of the markets. Whoever is in control is the direction you generally want to place your trades in. When you see an increase in Supply (numbers on down wave) accompanied with a decrease in Demand (numbers on up wave) this shows a Supply + Demand Exhaustion Pattern. This is stronger than if you only see an increase in Supply without a decrease in Demand.
- The Buy / Sell Imbalances -
If you see a positive blue number on the bottom of a DOWN Wave, this means that there was more buying than selling even though price moved down.
If you see a negative red number on the top of an UP Wave, this means that there was more selling than buying even though price moved up.
Both of these cases signify and imbalance and a divergence.
* EXAMPLE AND USE CASES *
- Sell Imbalance Example -
If you see a large negative number with a lower low on a down wave, and then the next up wave is a lower high also with a negative number it shows that there is only Supply flooding the market and no sign of Demand. This is a very powerful combo.
- Buy Imbalance Example -
If you see a large positive number with a higher high on an up wave, and then the next down wave is a higher low also with a positive number it shows that there is only Demand flooding the market and no sign of Supply. This is a very powerful combo.
- Supply Exhaustion example -
If you see price movement struggling to make newer lows and the Supply numbers on the down waves are decreasing, while the Demand numbers on the up waves are increasing this is indicative of a *Change of Behavior*, and that the market is showing signs of reversal.
- Break out on Demand example -
If you see price has been ranging and now the numbers on the UP waves begin to increase while breaking out of a previous area of resistance, it is a good sign that the movement is backed by the strength coming from the Demand.
* BUY / SELL IMBALANCE ALERTS *
The Green / Red crosses on the chart show exactly where the Buy / Sell Imbalance Alerts trigger.
These will NEVER repaint! The crosses can be hidden in Styles if you wish to.
Alerts can be set very easily with the instructions below.
1. Right Click Chart -> Add Alert...
(Ignore Caution Warning. These alerts will *ONLY* trigger on Confirmed BUY / SELL Imbalances and will NOT repaint)
2. Select Condition to be "XPrecisionSwing"
3. Select "Buy Imbalance" or "Sell Imbalance"
4. Select "Greater Than" with Value = 0
5. Options set "Once Per Bar"
6. Customize Any other Alert Options you want
* WHAT MAKES IT ORIGINAL *
XPrecisionSwing gives an inside look into the markets by showing price movements as a series of waves going up and down with their corresponding Supply / Demand numbers associated with each wave. Reading the numbers shows the strength of Supply / Demand. The bigger the number the stronger the Supply / Demand is. The smaller the number the weaker the Supply / Demand is. It becomes possible to see where Supply / Demand comes in, along with Exhaustion of Supply / Demand to spot opportunities to place trades. The Buy / Sell Imbalances show imbalances where price movement and the direction of the Supply / Demand diverge to create potential opportunities as well.
