Coding Indicator in Tradingview from InspirationSo today is rest and research Sunday and I wanted to share with folks how I go about creating new strategies and indicators. Hopefully this can teach traders to fish rather than giving them just the fish (of a buy/sell signal!)
I was inspired by watching a Youtube podcast Desiretotrade by Etienne Crane where I saw on his chart arrows indicating where price closed outside of a Bollinger Band followed by price closing back inside. This made me want to test such a price action phenomenon myself and to do that I needed to code it up.
I'm really a hacker when it comes to programming and Pine Script but I began coding from ZERO knowledge and my tricks, which I share, should hopefully help new Tradingview/Pine Script coders. GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND!!! It has all the answers if you just type the correct search :)
Unfortunately, I did not realize that Tradingview cuts off videos at 20 minutes. Oops! I got the meat of the indicator and process of using it all recorded and got cut off as I was cleaning up the code to make it more user friendly. I'll know to keep track of time for the next video!
Please let me know if this was helpful to traders... I get motivated by positive vibes to do more teaching!

NASDAQ100 drops WHILE SPX500 goes up? Here is WHY!Hey tradomaniacs,
the current sell-off in NASDAQ100 and climb indicies such as SPX500 can be a bit confusing.
The pump is basically caused by news from Pfizer (PFE) and Biontech (BTNX) saying that the vaccine is 90% effective in combating COVID-19!
It`s kinda hard to evaluate the situation now as NASDAQ100 drops while growth-stocks go up.
This is kinda tricky for the US-DOLLAR which is very volatile for now.
FAANG-Stocks are suffering by the outlook t hat Corona is done with an upcoming vaccine.
Why is that?
Because FAANG -Stocks ( Facebook (FB), Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Netflix (NFLX); and Alphabet (GOOG) had their benefits from Corona as everyone was stuck at home, means people order a lot, watch Netflix and check social-medias.
Last week Jeff Bezos has sold is own Amazon-Stocks aswell so there might be more potential to the downside.
The TEC-HYPE could be over as prices are partially way too high.
❗️BE CAREFULL trading now as cashflow can be very chaotic❗️
LEAVE A LIKE AND A COMMENT - I appreciate every support! =)
Peace and good trades

Trading strategy using the DeMarker indicatorThe DeMarker indicator, also known as DeM, is a technical analysis tool that compares the most recent maximum and minimum prices to the previous period's equivalent price to measure the demand of the underlying asset. From this comparison, it aims to assess the directional bias of the market. It is a member of the oscillator family of technical indicators and based on principles promoted by technical analyst Thomas DeMark.
The DeMarker indicator helps traders determine when to enter a market, or when to buy or sell an asset, to capitalize on probable imminent price trends. It is considered a “leading” indicator because its signals forecast an imminent change in price trend. This indicator is often used in combination with other signals and is generally used to determine price exhaustion, identify market tops and bottoms and assess risk levels. Although the DeMarker indicator was originally created with daily price bars in mind, it can be applied to any time frame, since it is based on relative price data.
Unlike the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which is perhaps the best-known oscillator, the DeMarker indicator focuses on intra-period highs and lows rather than closing levels. One of its main benefits is that, like the RSI, it is less prone to distortions like those seen in indicators like the Rate of Change (ROC), in which erratic price movements at the start of the analysis window can cause sudden shifts in the momentum line, even if the current price has barely changed.
How does the indicator itself work? When the curve line moves below 0.7 from top to bottom it means that we are in a overbought zone and we have a potential sell scenario. When the curve line moves trough the minimum 0.3 level from bottom to top it means we are in oversold zone and we may have a potential buy opportunity. But! There is a catch.
It is not recommended to short or buy aggressively when the curve crosses both of the levels for the first time. Usually when the curve crosses from the top the 0.3 level, indeed, it means we are heading to oversold zone, but there is going to be additional sell impulse. That's why the curve can have readings above 0.7 or below 0.3.
I personally use DeM on the daily chart and this is my only oscillator. Usually Demarker indicators are payed and are very expensive. The free versions of the indicator which are massively distributed are not truly mathematically perfect, but they do fine job.
Here with USD/CAD example I have placed my DeM on the daily chart for the pair. I will highlight the period from September till now with the latest signals.
EUR/USD and USD/JPY on watch for me today.EUR/USD:

STORJ - Simple Method: How To Spot A Potential BIG Breakout.STORJ is a money making chart. I like it a lot and have for some time.
In this post I'm going to take a look at a potential breakout that is forming, some potential ways to confirm a breakout, and ways to spot potential target TP's. This is a simple guide, kept that way on purpose. There is a galaxy of information and strategies out there, so let's start small and work our way up.
First things first, What is a breakout? A breakout, or a reversal, is a change in direction and breaking of trend; generally in the upward direction. A downward breakout is generally called a breakdown.
Obviously, knowing how to spot these is a fundamental skill of trading, and a skill you can build upon with other more advanced techniques.
So how do we spot a breakout? Well first we find a trend. In this case we can see a clear as day a downward channel formed on the 4H chart.
Next we need potential places for this trend to end. Generally we find these by looking at previous resistance and support levels and observing how the price reacts at these levels. In this case we can see that the current support level has multiple points of historic reference and the downward channel stopped when we hit this level.
But how do we know this will be a reversal? Well firstly, nothing is certain we just look for things lining up and call it appropriately. In this case we have a couple indicators up:
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) - This shows the relationship between 2 moving averages of a security.
Stochastic Relative Strength Index (Stoch RSI) with Exponential Moving Average (EMA) - This shows the relative strength of a security at any given time, with extreme movement in either direction generally being a sign of an incoming reversal (overbought or oversold, respectively). The EMA portion is useful for showing the average strength of a security over time, and can show whether long term trends are still present or have stopped.
Volume Oscillator - This shows relative volume of a security, plotted in an oscillator for easier viewing. Lower volume can be seen as weakening trend, whereas increasing volume can be a sign of strengthening trend.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA) - This shows the weighted average price of a security over time. How the price reacts to these average prices can tell a lot about potential future movements, and as it's an average price, you can often see pivots back to these levels in time of trend.
In this case, we can see all the indicators listed above are pointing towards a potential breakout: MACD is just about to cross in bull divergence, RSI is showing Oversold with an uptrend formed already, volume shows bottomed out volume and EMA's are all above our current price.
Again, this does not mean the price will for sure 100% do what the indicators say, things affect the market from outside and indicators are just indicators. But when we get many things in agreement, that tends to be seen as good potential.
So how do we find our profit targets? We look at where the price has been before. In this case, we see that STORJ tends to hit it's fib levels very consistently. In that case we can usually plot our TP's along the fib scale, according to our taste for risk/reward, which you should have calculated individually before ever starting trading realistically.
What do we do if it goes south? Well again, this is a personal preference thing. If you're making risky moves, set a tight SL below the current resistance level. If you're not the SL kind of person and make smaller, less risky investments; then make the investment now and if it goes down just reload and add to the investment. This allows you to average out the price, so when it does reverse you're in a better position to reap your rewards.
Again, this is a very basic, bare bones approach. I'll go into some more fun stuff later :)

Very useful comicsBe like Alex, do not be like Jack!
Many of my students have a bad experience working with scam brokers.
I will tell you the story of one of them!
He decides to try different brokers and get a lot of bonuses from them......
Everyone loves to get a lot of attention. So, the managers of these brokers called him every few times a day.
They told many beautiful stories about a wonderful life with a bag of money, expensive vacation, sports cars, and personal Jet...))).
But when they talk about such things, they sit in a small room without air conditioning, dressed in cheap clothes and eating fast food.
Yes, he will get it all if he cheats you and hundreds of other novice traders!
Then you can think about the police, court, or indictment, but they just change their head office address and contact phone number.
They never refund money, except when you have a good influential friend.
I have two videos for you on my youtube channel.
The first one is about how to identify a cheating broker and the second one about how to choose a reliable broker.
I recommend that you check both of them and never make the same mistake as my friend.
He did not get his money back and that managers (traders, bots) are losing most of their deposit.
Be careful, take care of your money, take care of your nerves, take time... be like Alex!).
Don't forget to support this idea with your like!
NZD/USD and GBP/USD on watch for me today.NZD/USD:
• If price pushes up to and ideally just above our upper trend line and the last part of the move is corrective, then I'll be looking for a risk entry after a phase line break on either the one hour or the fifteen minute chart.
• If price pushes up impulsively to and ideally just above our upper trend line, then I'll be waiting for a convincing push back down below our rayline followed by a tight flag where I'll be looking for a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag.
• If price pushes up to and ideally just above our rayline, then regardless of how price does so I'll be waiting for a convincing push back down followed by a tight flag where I'll be looking for a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag.
• If neither of these setups present themselves then I will simply wait until another setup which meets my plan materialises.
• If there's any ambiguity then I will not place any of these trades.

Learn the "Gann Fan" in just 3 StepsGann theory has been widely used in various fields of finance. To learn to apply the Gann angle line, two problems need to be solved, namely, point selection and volatility. The question about volatility is in the Gann angle line. This article will mainly talk about the problem of selecting points.
The selection point of the Gann angle line is generally selected from the important top and bottom. When selecting, you can judge which point to choose based on your actual operating experience. But depending on the long-term trend, you can choose the Gann angle line starting from zero, which will play a very important role in future predictions.
We took NASDAQ as an example. In the chart, We have learned how to apply the Gann fan to a chart or the trend. It's complicated, but I tried to make it easy to understand and easy to apply. I have used only 2 to 3 things to perfectly apply the Gann Fan.
Gann fan is useful to all the traders, It can be applied to all the time frame.
In the investment process, Many investors like to buy bottoms. This is everyone's ultimate pursuit. That's because every market has important tops and bottoms. Analysis of this position is to make your own funds safer, with minimal risks and greater profits. These will use the Gann angle line confluence position. The force formed at the intersection of the rising angle line and the falling angle line can often form a reversal trend.
In " Financial Analysis Trends ", the grades are divided as follows:
1×1 intersects with 1×1
1×2 intersects with 2×1
1×3 intersects with 3×1
1×4 and 4×1 intersect
1×1 intersects with 1×2 or 2×1
1×1 intersects with 1×3 or 3×1
1×1 intersects with 1×4 or 4×1
1×2 intersects with 1×4 or 4×1
Above is the information about the Gann fan for education purposes only.

New Char LayoutHere is a little bit about my set up:
1. I changed the background color, candle (body and wick) colors and general appearance in the "Settings tab".
2. Added an indicator to remind of the sessions.
3. Starred my favorite tools for easy use.
4. I used the "Save Drawing Template As..." feature to save what I use frequently on every tool.
