Fight Or Flight Index [log] - LTF [MethodAlgo]Introduction:
"Fight Or Flight" is a robust yet user-friendly indicator designed for long-term cycle analysis and gauging market sentiment. Excluded from our Premium Indicator Collection, we are delighted to offer this tool to the community for free.
Before Use:
- This is a first-layer analysis tool, identifying potential over/under-valued price areas, not predicting future market movements.
- Tailored for long-term investment analysis. Designed for use on timeframes "1D" and above; unsupported timeframes will display nothing.
- If the asset has less 2 years of data, indicator will display nothing.
Concept:
Fight Or Flight utilizes a 2-year Moving Average (MA) as a baseline (neon white), with reference lines at 2.5x and 5x of the MA (white and neon red). By tracking asset movements through bear and bull market cycles, the indicator simplifies the identification of these cycles for long-term investors.
Instructions:
- Supported timeframes: 1D, 3D, 1W, 2W, 3W, 9W, 1M, 3M, 6M, 12M; auto-adjusts MA parameters for listed timeframes for the same result.
- Recommended to use log chart for clearer views; supports all chart types but functions optimally in log mode. or the upper channel line will look odd (but not wrong).
- Set up advice: Use the indicator in a separate chart with a fixed timeframe.
UI:
- Neon White: Indicates market bottom, a 2-year MA auto-adjusted for the supported timeframe.
- Neon Red: Indicates market top, set at 5x the 2-year MA.
- White: Sits between the top and bottom lines, serving as a support, resistance, or equilibrium line.
- Filled Area: Red (Flight) signals an overheated market, suggesting an exit; White (Fight) denotes an undervalued market, suggesting an possible entry.
Use Case:
Traders can observe price levels in comparison to the MA levels provided by the indicator for cycle analysis:
- Below Neon White: Indicates undervalue, over-pessimistic market conditions; potential for outsized returns.
- Near or above Neon Red: Suggests an overvalued or overexcited market; plan your exit strategy.
Risk Disclaimer:
Trading is inherently risky; this indicator provides indications based on historical data, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Use it as part of your confluence reference and avoid making trading decisions solely based on one indicator.

MoonFlag BTC Daily Swing PredictorThis script mainly works on BTC on the daily timeframe. Other coins also show similar usefulness with this script however, BTC on the daily timeframe is the main design for this script.
(Please note this is not trading advice this is just comments about how this indicator works.)
This script is predictive. It colors the background yellow when the script calculates a large BTC swing is potentially about to happen. It does not predict in which direction the swing will occur but it leads the price action so can be useful for leveraged trades. When the background gets colored with vertical yellow lines - this shows that a largish price swing is probably going to occur.
The scripts also shades bands around the price action that are used to estimate an acceptable volatility at any given time. If the bands are wide that means price action is volatile and large swings are not easily predicted. Over time, with reducing volatility, these price action bands narrow and then at a set point or percentage (%) which can be set in the script settings, the background gets colored yellow. This indicates present price action is not volatile and a large price swing is potentially going to happen in the near future. When price action breaks through the narrowing bands, the background is no longer presented because this is seen as an increase in volatility and a considerable portion of the time, a large sudden drop in price action or momentous gain in price is realized.
This indicator leads price action. It predicts that a swing is possibly going to happen in the near future. As the indicator works on the BTC daily, this means on a day-to-day basis if the bands continually narrow - a breakout is more likely to happen. In order to see how well this indicator works, have a look at the results on the screenshot provided. Note the regions where vertical yellow lines are present on the price action - and then look after these to see if a sizeable swing in price has occurred.
To use this indicator - wait until yellow vertical lines are presented on the BTC daily. Then use your experience to determine which way the price action might swing and consider entering a trade or leveraged trade in this direction. Alternatively wait a while to see in which direction the break-out occurs and considering and attempt to trade with this. Sometimes swings can be unexpected and breakout in one direction before then swinging much larger in the other. Its important to remember/consider that this indicator works on the BTC daily timeframe, so any consideration of entering a trade should be expected to cover a duration over many days or weeks, or possibly months. A large swing is only estimated every several plus months.
Most indicators are based on moving averages. A moving average is not predictive in the sense in that it lags price actions. This indicator creates bands that are based on the momentum of the price action. A change in momentum of price action therefore causes the bands to widen. When the bands narrow this means that the momentum of the price action is steady and price action volatility has converged/reduced over time. With BTC this generally means that a large swing in price action is going to occur as momentum in price action then pick-up again in one direction or another. Trying to view this using moving averages is not easy as a moving average lags price action which means that it is difficult to predict any sudden movements in price action ahead of when they might occur. Although, moving averages will converge over time in a similar manner as the bands calculated by this script. This script however, uses the price action momentum in a predictive manner to estimate where the price action might go based on present price momentum. This script therefore reacts to reduced volatility in price action much faster than a set of moving averages over various timescales can achieve.

Trend Direction & Levels IdentifierOverview : Trend Direction & Levels Identifier (TDLI) provides you with two lines - Resistance/Support line (RSLine) and Trend Line. These two lines form a channel which is filled with a colour showing current market direction, which also prints Bullish or Bearish text. Trend Line calculation is similar but follows different approach than Super Trend indicator. RSLine calculation is done using EMA and dynamic ATR.
How does this work?
Firstly understand Supertrend - The Supertrend indicator is a freely available technical analysis tool that helps traders identify the direction of the trend . It is based on the concept of volatility, and it provides a simple way to identify whether the current market trend is bullish or bearish.
Here's a basic explanation of the Supertrend indicator's logic and how it is commonly used:
Supertrend Indicator Logic:
Calculation of Average True Range (ATR) : The first step involves calculating the Average True Range (ATR) over a specified period. ATR measures market volatility by considering the average range between the high and low prices over a given number of periods.
Multiplier Factor : A multiplier factor is then applied to the ATR. The multiplier is usually set by the trader or analyst and determines the sensitivity of the Supertrend to changes in volatility.
Calculation of Upper and Lower Bands:The Supertrend indicator calculates two bands - an upper band and a lower band.
Upper Band (UB) = High price - (Multiplier * ATR)
Lower Band (LB) = Low price + (Multiplier * ATR)
Determining Trend Direction : If the current market price is above the Upper Band, the Supertrend suggests a bearish trend (sell signal). If the current market price is below the Lower Band, the Supertrend suggests a bullish trend (buy signal).
Now, Let's understand how we use this logic with some modification to build our Trend line -
Let's break down the key differences:
1. Calculation of Trend Switch Points:
- Supertrend: The Supertrend indicator primarily relies on the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate the volatility of the market. It then determines trend direction based on whether the closing price is above or below the Supertrend line.
- Our Trend: We use a modified ATR for volatility measurement (ATR / x), our code introduces modifications in the calculation of trend switch points. It incorporates moving averages (SMA - Simple Moving Averages) to define high and low prices, adding a dynamic element to the identification of trend reversal points.
2. Trend States and Switch Logic:
- Supertrend: The Supertrend generally has two states: uptrend or downtrend. It switches its state when the closing price crosses the Supertrend line.
- Our Trend: Our code introduces an additional variable, which is not binary (0 or 1) but rather represents the state of the trend (0 for uptrend, 1 for downtrend). The indicator uses a more complex logic involving previous trend states and moving averages to determine trend switches.
So, our trend line incorporates additional elements such as moving averages, dynamic amplitude, and channel deviation to modify the Supertrend logic and provide a more nuanced and visually informative representation of market trends. These modifications offer traders more flexibility in adapting the indicator to different market conditions and trading preferences.
Remember the underlying logic is of Supertrend which is freely available to all.
Another line is RSLine, lets dive into its logic and calculation -
Average True Range (ATR) Calculation : Calculates the Average True Range, a measure of market volatility. The ATR can be dynamically adjusted based on user preference.
Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) and Variable (VAR) Calculation : Calculates the CMO, which measures momentum, and uses it to compute the VAR value. This introduces an adaptive element to the indicator.
Other Moving Averages : Calculates various moving averages, including Wilder's Moving Average (WWMA), Zero-Lag Exponential Moving Average (ZLEMA), and Time Series Forecast (TSF), providing different perspectives on trend direction.
Main Moving Average (MAvg) Calculation : Computes the main moving average based on EMA and length.
Stop Level Calculation : Determines stop levels for both long and short positions. The levels are influenced by the moving average (MAvg) and ATR, with an option to normalize them.
The Stop Levels forms the RSLine which acts as either resistance or support based on market direction.
Lets see how the indicator tells you probable market direction -
Direction Identification : Identifies the current trend direction (uptrend or downtrend) based on the relationship between the moving average and the previous stop level. It also prints Bullish or Bearish on chart based on crossovers and crossunders between the Trend Line and the RSLine.
Fill Coloring for Highlighting : It Fills the area between the Trend Line and RSLine with either green or red color to visually emphasize the trend direction. The colors change based on whether the Trend Line and MAvg is above or below the stop levels.
So there are 3 major things -
1. RSLine - Uses EMA and dynamic ATR to calculate stop levels. This acts as support or resistance to current trend. It is always red in colour.
2. Trend Line - Unlike Super Trend this Trend Line calculation uses a combination of highest high, lowest low, and EMA of a fixed range of candles to determine trend changes. It uses a fixed amplitude for calculating the highest high, lowest low, and EMA values, but it doesn't incorporate dynamic volatility adjustments like ATR. Its colour varies from red to green based on calculation.
3. Channel Colour - Channel colour is decided based on crossover of Trend Line and RSLine, if Trend Line crosses RSLine from bottom then channel colour becomes green, similarly red colour is calculated.
How to use this?
Refer this snapshot for content below -
1. Once a crossover happens between Trend Line and RSLine, bullish / bearish text is printed with change in colour of channel. RSLine acts as support/resistance.
2. Look for colour of Trend Line - when it matches channel colour, it means favourable direction is that colour (green - long, red - short)
3. Remember any ongoing trend can reverse any second, so follow price action for better results.
Preferred Timeframe : It works best in 5 minute timeframe, but can also be used in other time frames.
Reason to use these two lines ?
The Trend Line tells current trend direction using a line which keeps changing colours, for double confirmation we use the RSline and channel colour which is calculated using Trend line and RSLine crossover. When both Trend line and RSLine channel colour is same that gives a more solid confirmation (not 100%) of a trend
Why it is worth paying for :
As mentioned earlier this indicator is built over freely available Supertrend and EMA indicators. The modifications which we have done for better calculation and visualisation makes it worth.
The indicator may be considered valuable for traders who appreciate a visual representation of market trend direction and important stop levels. Normal indicators like supertrend just shows a line which gives you idea about the trend but our indicator apart from telling trend direction tells important levels and provide a channel filled with current trend direction significance which helps in following trend precisely.
1. The customization options and visual clarity could enhance decision-making for those who prefer a more tailored approach.
2. Traders willing to pay for this indicator may find it useful in complementing their existing analysis and strategy.
Although one should understand using premium indicator doesnt mean it will generate magic results, if you know price action and risk management properly then only consider trying our indicator else practice trading on free indicators first.
IMPORTANT : As Stock markets are dynamic in nature, no indicator is a magic indicator which will give you 100% accurate results on one click. You still have to use price action for best results.
DISCLAIMER : This indicator isn't a get rich quick scheme, neither it can provide 100% accurate results. It is meant to be used as an aid to Price Action Trading and proper risk management.
Opening Range Reversal ZonesThis script finds a reversal zone beyond the opening range for the selected period. I borrowed most of the opening range script itself from asenski.
I added a few things:
Trade Entry Times -- this restricts the "alert times."
Shading for the above mentioned times for the two "reversal" zones
A couple of other visuals for lines for the hi, mid, low of the opening range and lines for the fibs
Alerts while in the trading entry time session for fibbonacci crossovers.
I use this on NDX, SPY, and QQQs and have found buying "at the money" 0DTE puts in the "red zone" or 0DTE calls in the "green zone" frequently wins.
I have no statistics, as I am very methodical when I choose to enter, paying attention to the news, recent momentum, etc, and am not blindly entering when alert comes, but when one does, I do research and enter a trade.
In any case, thought I would share.

Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
8. Metamorphosis - a technical indicator that produces a compound signal from the combination of other GKD indicators*
*(not part of the NNFX algorithm)
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, and the Average Directional Index (ADX).
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
What is an Metamorphosis indicator?
The concept of a metamorphosis indicator involves the integration of two or more GKD indicators to generate a compound signal. This is achieved by evaluating the accuracy of each indicator and selecting the signal from the indicator with the highest accuracy. As an illustration, let's consider a scenario where we calculate the accuracy of 10 indicators and choose the signal from the indicator that demonstrates the highest accuracy.
The resulting output from the metamorphosis indicator can then be utilized in a GKD-BT backtest by occupying a slot that aligns with the purpose of the metamorphosis indicator. The slot can be a GKD-B, GKD-C, or GKD-E slot, depending on the specific requirements and objectives of the indicator. This allows for seamless integration and utilization of the compound signal within the GKD-BT framework.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v2.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
6. GKD-M - Metamorphosis module (Metamorphosis, Number 8 in the NNFX algorithm, but not part of the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data to A backtest module wherein the various components of the GKD system are combined to create a trading signal.
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Multi-Ticker CC Backtest
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Advance Trend Pressure as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: uf2018
Continuation: Coppock Curve
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Metamorphosis: Baseline Optimizer
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, GKD-M, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD system.

Anchored Progressive RangeIntroducing a simple script based off of the idea that ranges form from a point of origin that can be measured and produce interesting analysis indicating potential opportunities.
Specifically I use this on daily and weekly anchorage to find mid range retracements once range has developed.
Configure internal multipliers to provide potentially useful measurements between range high and mid point, as well as mid point and range low. By default it's standard .25 based multipliers but one could adjust to fib multipliers such as .615, .65, etc.
Anchored open price is plotted as continuous line as often times reversals will occur and open price will be tested on daily, weekly, monthly timeframes.
Once a bit of range is established and there's a rapid adjustment of range mid up or down, these can signal interesting breakouts. Also areas where the range stays flat due to no new high or low being printed can be indicative of consolidation, etc.
I've tested this with heikin ashi, renko, bars, line and regular candles through various markets such as futures, etfs and stocks and everything appears to anchor correctly, please feedback if experiencing otherwise.
I hope you enjoy this indicator as much as I enjoyed creating it, happy trading!
Stochastic Levels on Chart [MisterMoTA]The values of the Stochastic Levels on Chart indicator are calculated using Reverse Engineering calculations starting from default Stochastic formula : 100 * (close - lowest(low, length)) / (highest(high, length) - lowest(low, length)).
I added options for users to define the Extreme Overbought and Oversold values, also simple Oversold and Overbought values of the stochastic, default Extreme Overbought at 100, Extreme Oversold at 0, the 20 for Oversold and 80 as Overbought, plus the middle stochastic level = 50.
The script has included a color coded 20 SMA that will turn red when the 20 SMA is falling and green when it is rising, also there are bollinger bands using 2 standard deviation plus an extra top and bottom bollinger bands with a 2.5 standard deviation.
The users can use Stochastic Levels on Chart along with a simple Stochastic or a Stochastic Rsi indicator, when the price on chart touching extreme levels and Stochastic or Stochastic Rsi K line crossing above or bellow D line users can see on chart the levels where price need to close for getting stochastic overbought or oversold.
In the demo chart we can see at daily stochastic crossed down and the price crossed down all the levels displayed on chart, and same before stochastic was crossing up from oversold and price crossed up the stochastic levels displayed on chart.
In strong bullish moves the Extreme level 100 of the stochastic will be pushed higher, same in a strong bearish move the Extreme Oversold 0 level will be pushed lower, so users need to wait for confirmation of a crossover between K and D lines of stochastic that will signalize a pullback or a reverse of the trend.
For better results you will need to add a dmi or an adx or other indicator that will show you trend strength.
If you have any questions or suggestions to improve the script please send me a PM.
EXPONOVA @thejamiulNSE:NIFTY "EXPONOVA @thejamiul," is designed to provide traders with a visual tool to analyze market trends and potential entry or exit points. Here's an overview of its features and functionality:
1. Dual Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
The indicator utilizes two EMAs with different lengths - one set at 20 periods and the other at 55 periods. These EMAs are calculated based on the closing prices of the assets.
2. Color Gradient Feature:
A unique aspect of this indicator is its use of a color gradient to visually represent the relationship between the price and the longer EMA (55 periods). The gradient consists of a series of colors ranging from shades of red to green.
3. Dynamic Color Adaptation:
The indicator dynamically changes the color of the area between the two EMAs. This color change is based on the position of the closing price relative to the longer EMA (55 periods). The color shifts through the gradient based on the number of bars since the price last crossed the longer EMA.
4. Close Price and EMA Interaction:
The script includes functions to determine whether the closing price is above or below the longer EMA. This interaction is a crucial part of how the color gradient is applied.
5. Visualisation of Market Trends:
By plotting these EMAs and the color-filled area between them, the indicator provides a visual representation of market trends. The changing colors can help traders in identifying trend strength, potential reversals, or consolidation phases.
6. Overlay on Price Chart:
The indicator is designed to overlay directly on the price chart, making it easier for traders to correlate the EMAs and the color gradient with price movements.
7. Explicit Mention of Originality:
One of the distinctive features of 'EXPONOVA @thejamiul' is its innovative use of a color gradient to visually represent the price's relationship with the longer EMA. This approach, combined with our specific choice of EMAs and the dynamic color adaptation technique, sets this script apart from standard EMA-based indicators.
8. Acknowledgement of Potential Shortcomings or Limitations:
While 'EXPONOVA @thejamiul' provides a dynamic visual aid for trend analysis, users should note that like all indicators, it is subject to market volatility and should be used in conjunction with other analysis methods. This script is best suited for , and users may need to adjust settings for optimal performance in different market scenarios.
9. Summary:
"EXPONOVA @thejamiul" is a visually intuitive and dynamic trading tool that combines dual EMAs with a unique color gradient feature to aid traders in making informed decisions based on the relationship between price trends and moving averages.
MicroStrategy / Bitcoin Market Cap RatioThis indicator offers a unique analytical perspective by comparing the market capitalization of MicroStrategy (MSTR) with that of Bitcoin (BTC) . Designed for investors and analysts interested in the correlation between MicroStrategy's financial performance and the Bitcoin market, the script calculates and visualizes the ratio of MSTR's market capitalization to Bitcoin's market capitalization.
Key Features:
Start Date: The script considers data starting from July 28, 2020, aligning with MicroStrategy's initial announcement to invest in Bitcoin.
Data Sources: It retrieves real-time data for MSTR's total shares outstanding, MSTR's stock price, and BTC's market capitalization.
Market Cap Calculations: The script calculates MicroStrategy's market cap by multiplying its stock price with the total shares outstanding. It then forms a ratio of MSTR's market cap to BTC's market cap.
Bollinger Bands: To add a layer of analysis, the script includes Bollinger Bands around the ratio, with customizable parameters for length and multiplier. These bands can help identify overbought or oversold conditions in the relationship between MSTR's and BTC's market values.
The indicator plots the MSTR/BTC market cap ratio and the Bollinger Bands, providing a clear visual representation of the relationship between these two market values over time.
This indicator is ideal for users who are tracking the impact of Bitcoin's market movements on MicroStrategy's valuation or vice versa. It provides a novel way to visualize and analyze the interconnectedness of a leading cryptocurrency asset and a major corporate investor in the space.
Math Trading Concepts [SS]Presenting a mashup of the key elements I use for day-to-day trading: Volume, Z-Score, Autoregressive Forecasting, and a new addition, ANOVA analysis of variance.
I've aptly named it "Math Trading Concepts" in a nod to established trading concepts like "Smart Money" and "liquidity," but it's also fitting because these elements are fundamental to most quantitative/mathematical trading strategies.
What does it do?
The indicator visualizes Z-Score bands over a user-selected lookback period (defaulted to 14), akin to Bollinger Bands. Within these bands, it provides additional data, including trend identification. Uptrends are displayed in varying shades of green (brighter for stronger trends), while downtrends appear in red (with intensity reflecting strength).
Now, let's delve into each point individually:
Volume:
The indicator converts volume into a Z-Score over the specified lookback period. It distinguishes between buying and selling volume, calculating separate Z-Scores for each. A signal is triggered when the Z-Score exceeds 2 (for buying) or falls below -2 (for selling).
Z-Score:
The Z-Score clouds represent the outer parameters of the standard deviation over the lookback period (set at 2 and 3). Users can adjust the lookback time, and the indicator analyzes previous Z-Score reversal areas over the last 75 candles, signaling buy or sell based on historical reversals.
If you want to make it like BB, select the lookback length for the Z-Score at 25.
Autoregressive Forecasting:
This unique approach to autoregressive forecasting involves regressing a lagged variable while incorporating a time element. The time length is auto-determined based on the strongest trend. The indicator plots both autoregressed highs and lows.
ANOVA:
ANOVA, a discovery of mine, is introduced here. It reliably triggers significant readings before a pivot or breakout by measuring variance between means. When a statistically significant ANOVA occurs using the high, low, and close lagged values, it indicates an impending significant market move. While ANOVA alerts are not specific about the nature of the move, complementary tools like Volume, trend analysis, and Z-Bands provide additional insights.
Expect more educational content on ANOVA in the future, given its unique discovery. I was hoping to do one before releasing anything ANOVA based but alas, I haven't had the time!
The remainder of the indicator is self-explanatory. Feel free to ask any questions that arise or were not addressed in this description.
Special thanks to @Trendoscope for his arrays library which has made it possible for you to use the autoregression forecast while actively trading without it intruding on the chart :-).
Safe trades, everyone!
Donch +This is an indicator I made for trading Forex to help me see the bigger picture. It is meant for the 30min TF and it includes the following:
- 20 Day High | Low
- 5 Day High | Low
- 4 Hour High | L
- 4 Hour Bars
- Daily Simple Moving Averages
- Weekly Trend Line (connects last week's open to this week's open)
- Daily Trend Line (connects yesterday's open to today's open)
- Horizontal Lines at 0.25% increments (these can be useful for S/R... currency rarely moves more than 1% in a day).
- A table with information about what markets are open and technicals on the pair I am looking at.
- A slight white background fill to highlight the first hour of the US session. Knowing what session you are in is very important in day trading (in my opinion). This lets me go back and see how the US has been trading.
To keep the chart from being "too busy" (it's plenty busy lol), I use a step line and focus on 30min closes. I reference the white lines above and below closes for 4hr highs/lows and don't bother with looking at the high/low of every 30 min bar.
For the table, you will see bright green by the country for the first hour of trading in that session. It will turn to a regular green after the first hour. It will turn yellow the final hour of that session. It will turn red if that market is closed.
You can select from the settings 'inputs' tab to enable/disable any parts of this you don't find useful, for the table you'd go over to the 'style' tab and unselect it there. For example, I don't use the labels regularly. If I were to get confused about what a moving average was or something, I'd enable the labels and clarify.
Currency doesn't like to break out and likes to be stable. Keeping this in mind, you can see how the 20 day high / low and the 5 day high / low act as support and resistance (unless there is a news event to break out on.
I have alerts for the following:
- Price update every hour
- Crossing a trend line
- Crossing a moving average
- Crossing a 0.25% increment
- Making a new 4 hour, 5 day, or 20 day high/low
To enable the alerts, you would click add alert, select the indicator, and click save. To work properly, you'd want to be on the 30min TF before doing this. You will get a lot of alerts (personally I like this because I like to see how currency moves throughout the day). You will get one notification per 30 minutes but not more than that for the particular alert.
Envelope and Moving Average**Description:**
- This script creates an indicator that combines an envelope and a simple moving average (MA).
- The envelope is constructed using a specified length, percentage deviation, and source price (close by default).
- The moving average is calculated based on a specified length and source price.
**Inputs:**
1. Envelope:
- Length: Number of periods used for the envelope calculation (default is 20).
- Percentage Deviation: Percentage above and below the envelope basis (default is 10%).
- Source: The price used for the envelope calculation (default is close).
- Exponential MA: Option to use exponential moving average for the envelope basis (default is false).
2. Moving Average:
- Length: Number of periods used for the moving average calculation (default is 20).
- Source: The price used for the moving average calculation (default is close).
**Plotting:**
- The script plots the envelope basis, upper envelope line, and lower envelope line.
- The area between the upper and lower envelope lines is filled with a semi-transparent color for better visualization.
- The moving average is plotted on the chart with a specified color and line width.
**How to Use in a Strategy:**
1. **Envelope Crossovers:**
- Go Long (Buy): When the close price crosses above the upper envelope line.
- Go Short (Sell): When the close price crosses below the lower envelope line.
2. **Moving Average Crossovers:**
- Go Long (Buy): When the close price crosses above the moving average.
- Go Short (Sell): When the close price crosses below the moving average.
3. **Confirmation:**
- Consider additional confirmation signals or filters to improve the robustness of your strategy.
- For example, you might require a certain amount of price momentum or use other technical indicators in conjunction with envelope and moving average signals.
4. **Optimization:**
- Experiment with different parameter values (e.g., envelope length, percentage deviation, moving average length) to optimize the strategy for specific market conditions.
5. **Risk Management:**
- Implement proper risk management techniques, such as setting stop-loss orders and position sizing, to control risk.
Remember to thoroughly backtest any strategy before deploying it in a live trading environment. Additionally, consider the current market conditions and adapt your strategy accordingly.
Opening RangeThe opening range or first 30 minutes of trading during the day sets the tone and becomes an important reference through the rest of the day. Price will react as it reaches the high and low of the opening range.
Backtesting has shown that the strategies based on the opening range have merit and provide an edge in trading. By not being aware of these points of reference you put yourself at risk.
In addition to the opening range, the distance from the high or low of the opening range plus the width of the opening range forms another important reference point.
Opening Range Rules.
Price must break out of the opening range in order to have a trending day. As long as price is inside the opening range, expect the trade to be choppy.
Once price leaves the opening range the market can begin to trend. However, before it trends most times it will retest the boundary of the opening range. This is a critical point, and a better than average entry for a position to join the trend. However, if price closes back inside the opening range watch out. Re-entry to the opening range has a high probability of going to the middle of the opening range, and a better than average probability of crossing the entire opening range.
In the above chart we can see price broke below the opening range then returned to retest the opening range before beginning a downward trend that delivered 175 pts on NQ.
Upon re-entering the opening range price tried to break down again but ultimately traveled up until it hit the 50% mark of the opening range.
Once a trend has begun the first target is the green line which is 1 width of the opening range outside of the opening range.
Once price broke out of the opening range to the upside, it came back to retest the opening range high, before beginning an uptrend that delivered 120 pts on NQ.
CCI based support and resistance strategy
WARNING:
Commissions and slippage has not been considered! Don’t take it easy adding commissions and slippage could turns a fake-profitable strategy to a real disaster.
We consider account size as 10k and we enter 1000 for each trade.
Less than 100 trades is too small sample community and it’s not reliable, Also the performance of the past do not guarantee future performance. This result was handpicked by author and will differ by other timeframes, instruments and settings.
*PLEASE SHARE YOUR SETTINGS THAT WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY.
Introduction:
The CCI-based dynamic support and resistance is a "Bands and Channels" kind of indicator consisting an upper and lower band. This is a strategy which uses CCI-based (Made by me) indicator to execute trades.
SL and TP are calculated based on max ATR during last selected time period. You can edit strategy settings using "Ksl", "Ktp" and the other button for time period. “KSL” and “KTP” are 2.5 and 5 by default.
Bands are calculated regarding CCI previous high and low pivot. CCI length, right pivot length and left pivot length are 50.
A dynamic support and resistance has been calculated using last upper-cci minus a buffer and last lower-cci plus the buffer. The buffer is 10.
If "Trend matter?" button is on you can detect trend by color of the upper and lower line. Green is bullish and red is bearish! "Trend matter?" is on.
The "show mid?" button makes mid line visible, which is average of upper and lower lines, visible. The button is not active by default.
Reaction to the support could be a buy signal while a reaction to the resistance could interpreted as a sell signal.
How this strategy work?
Donald Lambert, a technical analyst, created the CCI, or Commodity Channel Index, which he first published in 1980. CCI is calculated regarding CCI can be used both as trend-detector or an oscillator. As an oscillator most traders believe in static predefined levels. Overbought and oversold candles which are clear in the chart could be used as sell and buy signals.
During my trading career I’ve noticed that there might be some reversal points for the CCI. I believe CCI could have to potential to reverse more from lately reversal point. Of course, just like other trading strategies we are talking about probabilities. We do not expect a win trade each time.
On price chart
Now this the question! What price should the instrument reach that CCI turns to be equal to our reversing aim for CCI? Imagine we have found last important bearish reversal of CCI in 200. Now, if we need the CCI to be 200 what price should we wait for?
How to calculate?
This is the CCI formula:
CCI = (Typical Price - SMA of TP) / (0.015 x Mean Deviation)
Where, Typical Price (TP) = (High + Low + Close)/3
For probable reversing points, high and low pivots of 50 bars have been used.
So we do have an Upper CCI and a Lower CCI. They are valid until the next pivot is available.
By relocating factors in CCI formula you can reach the “Typical Price”.
“
Typical Price = CCI (0.015 * Mean Deviation) + SMA of TP
So we could have a Support or Resistance by replacing CCI with Upper and Lower CCI.
A buy signal is valid if the trend is bullish (or “trend matter” is off) and lowest low of last 2 candles is lower than support and close is greater than both support and open.
A Sell signal is produced in opposite situation.
There are 2+1 options for trend!
Trend matter box is on by default, which means we’ll just open trades in direction of the trend. It’s available to turn it off.
Other 2 options are cross and slope. Cross calculated by comparing fast SMA and slow SMA. The slope one differentiate slow SMA to last “n” one.
Considering last day and today highest ATR as the ATR to calculating SL and TP is our unique technique.
Smart Money Oscillator [ChartPrime]The "Smart Money Oscillator " is a premium and discount zone oscillator with BOS and CHoCH built in for further analysis of price action. This indicator works by first determining the the premium and discount zones by using pivot points and high/lows. The top of this oscillator represents the current premium zone while the bottom half of this oscillator represents the discount zone. This oscillator functionally works like a stochastic oscillator with more sophisticated upper and lower bounds generated using smart money concept theories. We have included a moving average to allow the user to visualize the currant momentum in the oscillator. Another key feature we have included lagging divergences to help traders visualize potential reversal conditions.
Understanding the concepts of Premium and Discount zones, as well as Break of Structure (BoS) and Change of Character (CHoCH), is crucial for traders using the Smart Money Oscillator. These concepts are rooted in market structure analysis, which involves studying price levels and movements.
Premium Zone is where the price is considered to be relatively high or 'overbought'. In this zone, prices have risen significantly and may indicate that the asset is becoming overvalued, potentially leading to a reversal or slowdown in the upward trend.
The Discount Zone represents a 'discount' or 'oversold' area. Here, prices have fallen substantially, suggesting that the asset might be undervalued. This could be an indicator of a potential upward reversal or a pause in the downward trend.
Break of Structure (BoS) is about the continuation of a trend. In a bullish trend, a BoS is identified by the break of a recent higher high. In a bearish trend, it's the break of a recent Lower Low. BoS indicates that the trend is strong and likely to continue in its current direction. It's a sign of strength in the prevailing trend, whether up or down.
Change of Character (CHoCH) is an indication of a potential end to a trend. It occurs when there's a significant change in the market's behavior, contradicting the current trend. For example, in an uptrend characterized by higher highs and higher lows, a CHoCH may occur if a new high is formed but then is followed by an impulsive move downwards. This suggests that the bullish trend may be weakening and a bearish reversal could be imminent. CHoCH is essentially a sign of trend exhaustion and potential reversal.
With each consecutive BoS, the signal line of the oscillator will deepen in color. This allows you to visually see the strength of the current trend. The maximum strength of the trend is found by keeping track of the maximum number of consecutive BoS's within a window of 10. This calculation excludes periods without any BoS's to allow for a more stable max.
Quick Update is a feature that implements a more aggressive algorithm to update the highs and lows. Instead of updating the pivot points exclusively to update the range levels, it will attempt to use the current historical highs/lows to update the bounds. This results in a more responsive range at the cost of stability. There are pros and cons for both settings. With Quick Update disabled, the indicator will allow for strong reversals to register without the indicator maxing out. With Quick Update enabled, the indicator will show shorter term extremes with the risk of the signal being pinned to the extremities during strong trends or large movements. With Quick Update disabled, the oscillator prioritizes stability, using a more historical perspective to set its bounds. When Quick Update is enabled, the oscillator becomes more responsive, adjusting its bounds rapidly to reflect the latest market movements.
The Scale Offset feature allows the indicator to break the boundaries of the oscillator. This can be useful when the market is breaking highs or lows allowing the user to identify extremities in price. With Scale Offset disabled the oscillator will always remain inside of the boundaries because the extremities will be updated instantly. When this feature is enabled it will update the boundaries one step behind instead of updating it instantly. This allows the user to more easily see overbought and oversold conditions at the cost of incurring a single bar lag to the boundaries. Generally this is a good idea as this behavior makes the oscillator more sensitive to recent price spikes or drops, reflecting sudden market movements more accurately. It accentuates the extremities of the market conditions, potentially offering a more aggressive analysis. The main trade-off with the Scale Offset feature is between sensitivity and potential overreaction. It offers a more immediate and exaggerated reflection of market conditions but might also lead to misinterpretations in certain scenarios, especially in highly volatile markets.
Divergence is used to predict potential trend reversals. It occurs when the price of an asset and the reading of an oscillator move in opposite directions. This discrepancy can signal a weakening of the current trend and possibly indicate a potential reversal.
Divergence doesn't always lead to a trend reversal, but it's a warning sign that the current trend might be weakening. Divergence can sometimes give false signals, particularly in strongly trending markets where the oscillator may remain in overbought or oversold conditions for extended periods. The lagging nature of using pivot points to calculate divergences means that all divergences are limited by the pivot look forward input. The upside of using a longer look forward is that the divergences will be more accurate. The obvious con here is that it will be more delayed and might be useless by the time it appears. Its recommended to use the built in divergences as a way to learn how these are formed so you can make your own in real time.
By default, the oscillator uses a smoothing of 3 to allow for a more price like behavior while still being rather smooth compared to raw price data. Conversely, you can increase this value to make this indicator behave smoother. Something to keep in mind is that the amount of delay from real time is equal to half of the smoothing period.
We have included a verity of alerts in this indicator. Here is a list of all of the available alerts: Bullish BOS, Bearish BOS, Bullish CHoCH, Bearish CHoCH, Bullish Divergence, Hidden Bullish Divergence, Bearish Divergence, Hidden Bearish Divergence, Cross Over Average, Cross Under Average.
Below are all of the inputs and their tooltips to get you started:
Settings:
Smoothing: Specifies the degree of smoothing applied to the oscillator. Higher values result in smoother but potentially less responsive signals.
Average Length: Sets the length of the moving average applied to the oscillator, affecting its sensitivity and smoothness.
Pivot Length: Specifies the forward-looking length for pivot points, affecting how the oscillator anticipates future price movements. This directly impacts the delay in finding a pivot.
Max Length: Sets the maximum length to consider for calculating the highest values in the oscillator.
Min Length: Defines the minimum length for calculating the lowest values in the oscillator.
Quick Update: Activates a faster update mode for the oscillator's extremities, which may result in less stable range boundaries.
Scale Offset: When enabled, delays updating minimum and maximum values to enhance signal directionality, allowing the signal to occasionally exceed normal bounds.
Candle Color: Enables coloring of candles based on the current directional signal of the oscillator.
Labels:
Enable BOS/CHoCH Labels: Activates the display of BOS (Break of Structure) and CHoCH (Change of Character) labels on the chart.

- The largest (green/red) lines indicate rising and falling markets.
- This line represents the 13-candle moving average of Tilson T3.
- The reason for 13 candles is because it best matches the recent market price based on Bitcoin.
- This value cannot be changed, so if you need it, please modify the public code and use it.
- The yellow line is the MA20 line, the ‘Bollinger Band center line’
(UI will show whether this line has been breakout)
- The same algorithm as 20 of the basic moving average (close standard) is applied.
- The algorithm for breakthrough is calculated based on real-time prices, not based on closing prices.
An additional short-term SMA is created, and whether it crosses the SMA is classified as a breakout/resistance.
How to use it
- If the trend line becomes gentle, it may indicate a change in trend when + MA20 is broken.
- While the slope of the trend line is steep, it indicates that the trend is difficult to change.
(If the trend changes at this time, it is likely to move sideways)
- If the trend changes continuously, it is a sideways market.
At this time, watch out for the movement of the end point where the sideways trend ends.

Forex Master Pattern Screener 2Overview
The Forex Master Pattern Screener 2 is based on the Master Pattern, which includes contraction, expansion, and trend phases. This indicator is designed to identify and visualize market volatility, market phases, multi-timeframe contractions, liquidity points, and pivot calculations. It provides a clear image of the market's expansion and contraction phases. It's based on an alternative form of technical analysis that reveals the psychological patterns of financial markets through three phases.
Unlike the other master pattern indicators that just use highs and lows and aren't as accurate for finding contractions, this one uses actual measures of volatility to find extremely low levels of volatility and has customizable parameters depending on what you want to do.
What is the Forex Master Pattern?
The Forex Master Pattern is a framework that revolves around understanding market cycles, comprising the three main phases: contraction, expansion, and trend.
Contraction Phase: During this phase, the market has low volatility and is consolidating within a narrow range. Institutional volume tends to be low, and it's suggested to avoid trade entries during this period.
Expansion Phase: Volatility starts to increase, and there start to be bigger moves in price. Institutional traders start accumulating positions in this phase, and they might manipulate prices to draw in retail traders, creating liquidity for their own buying or selling goals.
Trend Phase: This final phase completes the market cycle. Institutional traders begin taking profits, leading to a reversal. This triggers panic among retail traders, resulting in liquidations and stops. This generates liquidity for institutional traders to profit, leaving retail traders with overvalued positions.
Value Line:
The "value line" acts as the fair value zone or the neutral belief zone where buyers and sellers agree on fair value. It can be likened to the center of gravity and is created during contraction zones.
Applications:
Identifying these phases and understanding the value lines can help traders determine the market's general direction and make better trading decisions.
This isn't a strategy but a concept explaining market behavior, allowing traders to develop various strategies based on these principles
The contractions, which are based on volatility calculations, can help you find out when big moves will occur, known as expansions.
How traders can use this indicator
1. Identifying Market Phases:
Contraction Phase: Look for periods where the market has low volatility and is contracting, indicated by a narrow range and highlighted by the contraction box. During this phase, traders prepare for a breakout but usually avoid making new trades until a clearer trend emerges.
Expansion Phase: When the indicator signals an expansion, it suggests that the market is moving out of consolidation and may be beginning a new trend. Traders might look for entry points here, anticipating a continuation of the trend.
Trend Phase: As the market enters this phase, traders look for signs of sustained movement in one direction and consider positions that benefit from this trend.
2. Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
By looking at multiple timeframes, traders can get a broader view of the market. For instance, a contraction phase in a shorter timeframe within an expansion phase in a longer timeframe might suggest a pullback in an overall uptrend. This indicator comes with a MTF contraction screener that is customizable.
2. Fair Value Lines:
The fair value acts like a "center of gravity.". Traders could use this as a reference point for understanding market sentiment and potential reversal points. This indicator shows these values in the middle of the contraction boxes.
3. Volatility Analysis:
This indicator's volatility settings can help traders understand the market's current volatility state. High volatility indicates a more active market with larger, faster moves, while low volatility might suggest caution and tighter stop-losses or take-profits. If volatility is contracting, then an expansion is imminent. This indicator shows the volatility with percentile ranks in 0-100 values and also alerts you when volatility is contracting, aka the contraction phase.
Volatility Calculations:
This indicator uses a geometric standard deviation to measure volatility based on historical price data. This metric quantifies the variability of price changes over a specified lookback period and then computes a percentile rank within a defined sample period. This percentile calculation helps evaluate the current volatility compared to historical levels.
Based on the percentile rank, the indicator sets thresholds to determine whether the current volatility is within a range considered "contraction" or not. For example, if there are really low levels of volatility on the percentile rank, then there is currently a contraction phase. The indicator also compares the volatility value against a moving average, where values above the current moving average value signal the expansion phase.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTF):
This indicator comes with a multi-timeframe table that shows contractions for 5 different timeframes, and the table is customizable.
Bands:
This indicator comes with bands that are constructed based on the statistical calculations of the standard deviation applied to the log-transformed closing prices. It is commonly assumed that the distribution of prices fits some type of right-skewed distribution. To remove most of the skewness, you can use a log transformation , which makes the distribution more symmetrical and easier to analyze, thus the use of these bands . These bands are in the 2 standard deviation range. You can use these bands to trade at extreme levels. The band parameter is based on the contraction volatility lookback, which is in the Volatility Model Settings tab.
Ways the bands could be used with the contractions:
1. Identifying Breakout trades:
Contraction Zones: These zones indicate periods of low volatility where the market is consolidating. There are usually narrow price ranges, which are considered a build-up phase before a significant price move in any direction.
Bands: When the contraction zone occurs, you might notice the bands tightening around the price on smaller lookback periods, reflecting the decreased volatility. A continuous widening of the bands could then signal the beginning of an expansion phase, indicating a potential breakout opportunity.
2. Enhancing Trade Timing:
Before the Breakout: During the contraction phase, the bands might move closer together, reflecting the lower volatility. You can monitor this phase closely and prepare for a potential expansion. The bands can provide additional confirmation; for instance, a price move toward one of the bands might show an extreme occurrence and might show what the direction of the breakout could be.
After the breakout: Once the price breaks out of the contraction zone and goes to the expansion phase, and if it coincides with the bands widening significantly, it could reinforce the strength and potential sustainability of the new trend, providing a clearer entry.
3. Price-touching bands during a contraction:
If the price repeatedly touches one of the bands during a contraction phase, it might suggest a buildup of pressure in that direction. For example, if the price is consistently touching the upper band even though the bands are narrow, it might suggest bullish pressure that could occur once the expansion phase begin.
4. Price at the band extreme levels during Expansion:
If the price is at the extreme levels of the bands once the expansion phase occurs, it might indicate unsustainable levels and a low probability of the price continuing beyond those levels. Potentially signaling that a reversal will occur. Some trades could use these extremes to place entries during the expansion phases.
Liquidity Levels:
This script comes with liquidity points, whose functionality goes towards identifying pivotal levels in price action, focusing on swing highs and swing lows in the market. These points represent areas where significant buying (for swing lows) or selling (for swing highs) activity has occurred, implying potential levels or resistance in the price movement.
These liquidity points, often identified as highs and lows, are points where market participants have shown interest in the past. These levels can act as psychological indications where traders might place orders, leading to increased trading activity when these levels are approached or breached. When used with the Forex Master Pattern phases, liquidity levels can enhance trades placed with this indicator. For instance, if the market is expanding and approaches a significant liquidity level, there might be a higher chance of a breakout or reversal, showing a possible entry or exit point.
Liquidity Levels in the Contraction Phase:
Accumulation and Distribution: During the contraction phase, liquidity levels can indicate where huge positions are likely accumulating or distributing quietly. If price is near a known liquidity level and in a contraction phase, it might suggest that a large market player is building a position in anticipation of the next move.
Breakout Points: Liquidity levels can also give clues about where price could go after the breakout from the contraction phase. A break above a liquidity level might indicate a strong move to come as the market overcomes significant selling pressure.
Liquidity Levels in Expansion Phase:
Direct Confirmation: As the expansion phase begins, breaking through liquidity levels can confirm the new trend's direction. If the price moves past these levels with huge volume, it might indicate that the market has enough momentum to continue the trend.
Target Areas: Liquidity levels can act as target areas during the expansion phase. Traders using this indicator could look to take profits if the price approaches these levels, possibly expecting a reaction from the market.
