Trend hunter strategy - buy & sellThe indicator combines multiple technical indicators and conditions to generate buy and sell signals.
Here's how the indicator works and how to use it:
Strategy Selection:
The indicator provides a dropdown menu to choose the type of strategy. The available options are "Pullback" and "Simple."
Supertrend Settings:
The Supertrend indicator is used to identify the trend direction.
The indicator takes two input parameters:
ATR Length: Specifies the length of the Average True Range (ATR) used in the Supertrend calculation. The default value is 10.
Factor: Specifies the factor used in the Supertrend calculation. The default value is 3.0.
EMA Settings:
The indicator also includes an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) condition.
You can enable or disable the EMA condition using the "Ema Condition On/Off" checkbox.
If enabled, the indicator calculates an EMA based on the close price.
You can specify the length of the EMA using the "Ema Length" input parameter. The default value is 200.
RSI Settings:
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator is used to generate additional conditions.
You can enable or disable the RSI condition using the "Rsi Condition On/Off" checkbox.
If enabled, the indicator calculates the RSI based on the close price.
You can specify the length of the RSI using the "Rsi Length" input parameter. The default value is 14.
Additionally, you can set the overbought and oversold levels for the RSI using the "RSI BUY Level" and "RSI SELL Level" input parameters, respectively. The default value for both is 50.
Final Conditions:
The indicator combines the Supertrend, EMA, and RSI conditions to generate buy and sell signals.
The specific conditions depend on the chosen strategy:
For the "Simple" strategy, the buy condition is when the Supertrend is in an up trend, not in a previous long position, the RSI is above the overbought level, and the close price is above the EMA.
For the "Pullback" strategy, the buy condition is when there is a cross under of the previous low with the Supertrend, the Supertrend is in an up trend, the RSI is above the overbought level, and the close price is above the EMA.
The sell conditions are the opposite of the respective buy conditions.
Backtest Period:
You can specify the start and end dates for the backtesting using the "Start calculations from" and "End calculations" inputs, respectively. The default start date is "2005-01-01" and the default end date is "2045-03-01." (this is work in progress) Still working on the table part, it is a bit tricky.
Trade Direction:
You can choose the trade direction using the "Trade Direction" input parameter. The available options are "Long," "Short," and "Both."
Depending on the selected trade direction, the indicator will generate signals accordingly.
Visual Display:
The indicator plots the Supertrend line on the price chart.
Buy signals are shown as green labels below the price bars.
Sell signals are shown as red labels above the price bars.
Adjust the input parameters according to your preferences, and then apply the indicator to a chart to see the generated signals. Please note that this indicator should be used for educational purposes only and should be thoroughly tested before using it for real trading.
Bands and Channels
Volatility-Based Mean Reversion BandsThe Volatility-Based Mean Reversion Bands indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify potential mean reversion trading opportunities based on market volatility. The indicator consists of three lines: the mean line, upper band, and lower band. These bands dynamically adjust based on the average true range (ATR) and act as reference levels for identifying overbought and oversold conditions.
The calculation of the indicator involves several steps. The average true range (ATR) is calculated using a specified lookback period. The ATR measures the market's volatility by considering the range between high and low prices over a given period. The mean line is calculated as a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing prices over the same lookback period. The upper band is derived by adding the product of the ATR and a multiplier to the mean line, while the lower band is derived by subtracting the product of the ATR and the same multiplier from the mean line.
Interpreting the indicator is relatively straightforward. When the price approaches or exceeds the upper band, it suggests that the market is overbought and may be due for a potential reversal to the downside. On the other hand, when the price approaches or falls below the lower band, it indicates that the market is oversold and may be poised for a potential reversal to the upside. Traders can look for opportunities to enter short positions near the upper band and long positions near the lower band, anticipating the price to revert back towards the mean line.
The bar color and background color play a crucial role in visualizing the indicator's signals and market conditions. Lime-colored bars are used when the price is above the upper band, indicating a potential bearish mean reversion signal. Conversely, fuchsia-colored bars are employed when the price is below the lower band, suggesting a potential bullish mean reversion signal. This color scheme helps traders quickly identify the prevailing market condition and potential reversal zones. The background color complements the bar color by providing further context. Lime-colored background indicates a potential bearish condition, while fuchsia-colored background suggests a potential bullish condition. The transparency level of the background color is set to 80% to avoid obscuring the price chart while still providing a visual reference.
To provide additional confirmation for mean reversion setups, the indicator incorporates the option to use the Relative Strength Index (RSI) as a confluence factor. The RSI is a popular momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. When enabled, the indicator checks if the RSI is in overbought territory (above 70) or oversold territory (below 30), providing additional confirmation for potential mean reversion setups.
In addition to visual signals, the indicator includes entry arrows above or below the bars to highlight the occurrence of short or long entries. When the price is above the upper band and the confluence condition is met, a fuchsia-colored triangle-up arrow is displayed above the bar, indicating a potential short entry signal. Similarly, when the price is below the lower band and the confluence condition is met, a lime-colored triangle-down arrow is displayed below the bar, indicating a potential long entry signal.
Traders can customize the indicator's parameters according to their trading preferences. The "Lookback Period" determines the number of periods used in calculating the mean line and the average true range (ATR). Adjusting this parameter can affect the sensitivity and responsiveness of the indicator. Smaller values make the indicator more reactive to short-term price movements, while larger values smooth out the indicator and make it less responsive to short-term fluctuations. The "Multiplier" parameter determines the distance between the mean line and the upper/lower bands. Increasing the multiplier widens the bands, indicating a broader range for potential mean reversion opportunities, while decreasing the multiplier narrows the bands, indicating a tighter range for potential mean reversion opportunities.
It's important to note that the Volatility-Based Mean Reversion Bands indicator is not a standalone trading strategy but rather a tool to assist traders in identifying potential mean reversion setups. Traders should consider using additional analysis techniques and risk management strategies to make informed trading decisions. Additionally, the indicator's performance may vary across different market conditions and instruments, so it's advisable to conduct thorough testing and analysis before integrating it into a trading strategy.
3 Fib EMAs To Scalp Them AllThe "3 Fib EMAs To Scalp Them All" was made in order to clear up when we should look for shorts, longs, or walk away. Also it can alert you when a trend starts, or when there is a possible reversal. I use it for scalping/day trading in 5m-1h timeframes.
1. EMAs: By default, the indicator uses Fibonacci numbers (21, 55, 233), but you can change them.
2. Color Changes: The color of the Micro EMA line changes depending on its relation to the Mid and Macro EMAs.
When Micro EMA < Mid < Macro EMA, it turns red, indicating a potential bearish trend - that's when you should look for shorts
When Micro EMA > Mid > Macro EMA, it turns green, indicating a potential bullish trend - that's when you should look for longs
A white Micro EMA is when you need to take some rest, enjoy your coffee, and avoid overtrading.
3. Signals: The indicator provides visual signals in the form of diamonds and crosses and corresponding alert signals.
A red diamond above the bar signals a potential beginning of a downtrend
A red cross above the bar signals the end of the downtrend and can be used as a signal for a possible reversal up/breakout.
A green diamond below the bar signals a potential beginning of a downtrend,
A green cross below the bar signals the end of the uptrend and can be used as a signal for a possible reversal down/breakout.
4. Alerts: For algo traders and people who prefer to stay away from the monitor... there are alerts for every signal.
Friendly note: Don't blindly follow the signals for your long and short entries. The signals only pop up when the EMA cross value gets a confirmation. A smart move would be to wait for a retracement to the EMA line and use momentum indicators like market cipher B to pinpoint those ideal entry points.
tlc with False BreakoutThe strategy aims to identify a trend line channel with the potential for a false breakout. Here's an explanation of the strategy:
The script starts by defining the input parameters. The lookback parameter determines the number of previous bars to consider for detecting the trend lines, and the threshold parameter controls the sensitivity of the trend line detection.
The script then initializes variables to store the trend lines, tap count, and the false breakout signal.
Inside the loop, the script iterates over the specified number of bars (lookback) to identify the trend lines. It checks if the current high is greater than the previous and next highs to identify an upper trend line and sets it using the line.new function. Similarly, it checks if the current low is smaller than the previous and next lows to identify a lower trend line and sets it.
The script also keeps track of the price levels of the upper and lower trend lines using the variables upperTrendLinePrice and lowerTrendLinePrice. These price levels are obtained using the line.get_y1 function.
After the fourth tap (when tapCount is equal to 4), the script checks if the current close price is above the upper trend line or below the lower trend line. If this condition is met, it sets the falseBreakout variable to true, indicating a potential false breakout.
Finally, the script plots a shape marker (plotshape) when a false breakout occurs. This is represented by an orange label displayed below the bar.
At the end of the script, the line.delete function is used to remove the old trend lines when the script reaches the last bar (barstate.islast).
By using this strategy, you can visually identify trend line channels where the upper and lower lines touch higher highs or lower highs and higher lows or lower lows. Additionally, it provides a false breakout signal when the price breaks above the upper trend line or below the lower trend line on the fifth tap.
Super Secret 200 EMAThe indicator is called "Super Secret 200 EMA." It combines two technical indicators, the Supertrend and the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA), to generate buy and sell opportunities in a trading chart.
Here's how the indicator works and how you can use it:
Supertrend Calculation:
The Supertrend indicator helps identify the current trend in the market. It uses two parameters: Length and Multiplier.
Length: This parameter determines the number of periods used for the calculation.
Multiplier: It controls the width of the Supertrend line, indicating the level of volatility considered in the calculation.
The Supertrend is calculated by looping through the historical data from length to 1.
For each period, it checks whether the closing price has increased or decreased compared to the previous period.
If the closing price has increased, it updates the highestHigh value with the maximum of the current highest high and the high of the current period.
If the closing price has decreased, it updates the lowestLow value with the minimum of the current lowest low and the low of the current period.
Finally, it calculates the Supertrend value using the following formula:
If the change in the closing price is positive: Supertrend = lowestLow + (multiplier * Average True Range (ATR))
If the change in the closing price is negative: Supertrend = highestHigh - (multiplier * ATR)
The Supertrend line will be green if it is above the 200 EMA line and red if it is below.
200 EMA Calculation:
The 200 EMA is a widely used moving average indicator that gives more weight to recent prices.
The EMA period is set to 200 in this case.
The 200 EMA is calculated using the EMA formula, taking into account the closing prices over the specified period.
Plotting:
The Supertrend and 200 EMA lines are plotted on the chart using the plot function.
The Supertrend line is colored green if it is above the 200 EMA line and red if it is below.
The 200 EMA line is colored green if the closing price is above it and red if it is below.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
The indicator determines the buy and sell conditions based on the crossover and crossunder of the closing price with the 200 EMA line and the Supertrend line.
Buy Condition: A buy signal is generated when the closing price crosses above the 200 EMA line and is also above the Supertrend line.
Sell Condition: A sell signal is generated when the closing price crosses below the 200 EMA line and is also below the Supertrend line.
Plotting Buy and Sell Signals:
You can use this indicator to identify potential buy and sell opportunities in your trading strategy. However, please note that this is a simplified explanation, and it's essential to thoroughly understand the indicator's principles and backtest it with historical data before relying on it for actual trading decisions.
Use this with other confluences for best results and never rely on a single indicator
Liquidity Channel with B/SIndicator - Liquidity Level
Which calculates the liquidity levels based on the highest high and lowest low of the specified period. It determines the middle line, upper line, and lower line of the liquidity channel. The liquidity level is the average of the upper and lower lines, and the liquidity level distance is half of the difference between the upper and lower lines.
Here, the code determines if the conditions for overbought and oversold signals are met. It compares the current closing price with the previous opening price to determine the color of the bar (red or green). If the conditions are met and the bar color matches the expected direction (red for overbought and green for oversold), the respective signals are triggered.
The code plots buy and sell signals on the chart using shape labels. It displays "Buy" labels below the bars for buy signals and "Sell" labels above the bars for sell signals. Additionally, it colors the bars in gray. The code also sets up alert conditions to send notifications when buy or sell signals occur.
*************** Please note that this is a high-level overview of the code's functionality. The specific details and calculations may vary based on the parameters and settings provided in the code.
*************** Remember, trading involves risks, and it's important to thoroughly test any strategy and consider risk management principles before using it in live trading. It's recommended to consult with a knowledgeable financial advisor or professional trader for guidance and assistance in developing and implementing trading strategies.
***************Happy trading..

AggBands (v1) [qrsq]The "AggBands" indicator is a custom trading indicator designed to provide a consolidated view of the price action across multiple assets or trading pairs. It combines the price data from multiple tickers and calculates an aggregated price using user-defined weights for each ticker.
The indicator starts by defining the tickers to be included in the aggregation. You can choose from predefined configurations such as "BTC PAIRS," "CRYPTO TOTAL MARKET CAP," "TOP 5 PAIRS," "TOP 5 MEMECOINS," "SPX," "DXY," or "FANG." Each configuration includes specific tickers or indices relevant to the chosen category.
The indicator then fetches the closing, high, and low prices for each ticker and applies the user-defined weights to calculate the aggregated prices. The aggregated prices are normalized within a specified length to provide a consistent scale across different assets or pairs.
Next, the indicator calculates the midpoint, which is the average of the highest high and lowest low of the aggregated prices over a specified aggregation period.
To assess the volatility, the indicator calculates the price range and applies the Average True Range (ATR) indicator to determine the volatility value. The standard deviation is then computed using the price range and aggregation period, with an additional scaling factor applied to the volatility value.
Based on the standard deviation, the indicator generates multiple bands above and below the midpoint. By default, three standard deviation bands are calculated, but the user can choose between one and five bands. The upper and lower bands are smoothed using various moving average (MA) types, such as Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA/RMA), Weighted Moving Average (WMA), Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA), Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), or Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA). The user can also adjust the length, offset, and sigma parameters for the moving averages.
The indicator can optionally smooth the midpoint, upper bands, and lower bands using a separate set of moving average parameters.
The indicator can be useful for traders and analysts who want to gain a consolidated view of price movements across multiple assets or trading pairs. It helps identify trends, volatility, and potential support and resistance levels based on the aggregated price and standard deviation bands. Traders can use this information to make informed decisions about trading strategies, risk management, and market analysis.
Multi-Divergence Buy/Sell IndicatorThe "Multi-Divergence Buy/Sell Indicator" is a technical analysis tool that combines multiple divergence signals from different indicators to identify potential buy and sell opportunities in the market. Here's a breakdown of how the indicator works and how to use it:
Input Parameters:
RSI Length: Specifies the length of the RSI (Relative Strength Index) calculation.
MACD Short Length: Specifies the short-term length for the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) calculation.
MACD Long Length: Specifies the long-term length for the MACD calculation.
MACD Signal Smoothing: Specifies the smoothing length for the MACD signal line calculation.
Stochastic Length: Specifies the length of the Stochastic oscillator calculation.
Stochastic Overbought Level: Defines the overbought level for the Stochastic oscillator.
Stochastic Oversold Level: Defines the oversold level for the Stochastic oscillator.
Calculation of Indicators:
RSI: Calculates the RSI based on the specified RSI Length.
MACD: Calculates the MACD line, signal line, and histogram based on the specified MACD parameters.
Stochastic: Calculates the Stochastic oscillator based on the specified Stochastic parameters.
Divergence Detection:
RSI Divergence: Identifies a bullish divergence when the RSI crosses above its 14-period simple moving average (SMA).
MACD Divergence: Identifies a bullish divergence when the MACD line crosses above the signal line.
Stochastic Divergence: Identifies a bullish divergence when the Stochastic crosses above its 14-period SMA.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
Buy Condition: Triggers a buy signal when all three divergences (RSI, MACD, and Stochastic) occur simultaneously.
Sell Condition: Triggers a sell signal when both RSI and MACD divergences occur, but Stochastic divergence does not occur.
Plotting Buy/Sell Signals:
The indicator plots green "Buy" labels below the price bars when the buy condition is met.
It plots red "Sell" labels above the price bars when the sell condition is met.
Usage:
The indicator can be used on any timeframe and for any trading instrument.
Look for areas where all three divergences (RSI, MACD, and Stochastic) align to generate stronger buy and sell signals.
Consider additional technical analysis and risk management strategies to validate the signals and manage your trades effectively.
Remember, no indicator guarantees profitable trades, so it's essential to use this indicator in conjunction with other tools and perform thorough analysis before making trading decisions.

Anchored VWAP Pinch & Handoff, Intervals, and Signals"Anchored VWAP Pinch & Handoff, Intervals, and Signals" is an AVWAP toolbox for those who like to use various VWAP trading techniques. The indicator is currently comprised of the following three sections:
• The Pinch & Handoff section (shown above on chart) allows manually setting an upper and lower AVWAP (Pinch) along with an additional AVWAP (Handoff) by entering dates or by dragging the vertical anchor lines to the desired significant events on chart. Each of these three AVWAPs can also be set to show zones above and/or below by a percentage or standard deviation amount. The theory behind this method is that the upper and lower AVWAPs may act as dynamic support and resistance levels, effectively creating a price range or channel. As price moves between these two VWAP levels, it becomes squeezed or consolidated within that range. Further conjecture is that the longer the price remains within the range of the two anchored VWAP values, the higher the potential for an explosive breakout. Traders using this strategy may interpret the prolonged consolidation as a period of price compression, with the expectation that a significant move in either direction is likely to occur. Traders employing the AVWAP Pinch strategy might look for specific chart patterns or additional confirmation signals to enter a trade. For example, a breakout above the upper anchored VWAP level could trigger a long trade, while a breakdown below the lower anchored VWAP level could signal a short trade. Stop-loss orders and profit targets are typically set based on the trader's risk tolerance and the volatility of the asset. The third AVWAP (Handoff) is typically set after price has broken through the Pinch, and is used as a new level of support or resistance. The "Pinch & Handoff" phrase is believed to have been coined by Brian Shannon, who has popularized this method.
• The Intervals section (shown above on chart) is comprised of six periodic AVWAPs which cyclically reset. Their default settings are 1 Day, 2 Days, 1 Week, 1 Month, 1 Quarter, and 1 Year. They each may be set to desired period and when they are enabled the VWAPs whose periods are lower than the current chart timeframe are automatically hidden. For example a 1 Day AVWAP is not useful on a 1 Week chart so it would be hidden from that timeframe. When using AVWAPs from higher timeframes it may be helpful to set your chart to "Scale price chart only". This can be enabled by right clicking on your chart's price column and then left clicking "Scale price chart only" to enable that option.
• The Auto section (shown above on chart) is comprised of two automatic Anchored VWAPs. There are choices for setting anchors automatically based upon Highest Source, Highest Volume, Lowest Source, Lowest Volume, Pivot High, and Pivot Low. Because these two VWAPs work retroactively they are drawn with lines instead of plots. There is currently a limitation of 500 lines that may be drawn at any given time and the logic within this indicator uses a line for every bar of VWAP that is drawn, so if the combined length of both of these VWAPs exceeds 500 bars the earliest lines would disappear. For typical use of looking for the highest high in the last 50 bars or the last fractal this limitation should not be an issue.
---
All of the plots have been titled including hidden plots that are generated for the AVWAP line drawings. All of the various types of AVWAP within the indicator should be available as choices within the Alert creation dialog if use of alerts is desired.

[DIP] Inverse BB/Bollinger highlight for barsThis indicator allows you to highlight the area outside of the Bollinger Bands in order to draw more attention to it. This is especially useful for those who only trade when we are outside of the bands.
Keep in mind this indicator only works on bars, not on candles.
BRAHMA_ALARMThe indicator is an update to the "HMA-Kahlman Trend & Trendlines" script by capissimo, which is available at the following link: The update includes the integration of an alarm function to provide additional functionality.
The indicator continues to be based on the combination of the HMA (Hull Moving Average)-SMA (Simple Moving Average) method and the Kalman filter to generate precise trading signals. The original script by capissimo serves as the foundation for the SIMSOIL indicator, which has been enhanced by the addition of the alarm function to keep traders informed of potential trading opportunities.
It is important to emphasize that indicator is developed as an update to the original script by capissimo. I would like to thank capissimo for their original work on the script, and I have added the alarm function as an extension.
RD Opening Range/Initial BalanceIntroducing the RD Opening Range/Initial Balance indicator. The opening range is the first 60 minutes of trading action for a given day (High, Mid, and Low).
The market tends to put significance in these levels, that's why we use them in our trade system.
There is also a data panel:
Today - Today's opening range value
W-Avg - This weeks average
20D CA-OH - the total number of closes above the opening range over the last 20 days (above high)
20D CA-OL - the total number of closes below the opening range over the last 20 days (below low)
* We do plan to add additional data points.
* Only the last OR has labels, we will not be adding them or an option in the future.
* Full customization in setting panel. Color of lines, background, no display of data panel and more.
How to Use
These levels act as dual magnets. They both attract price and repel price.
You use price action and rules to decipher if price is being attracted or repelled.
You will notice as you use this indicator that price respects these levels. Often when answering the 3Qs one of these levels is in play.
During the cash market these levels play a significant role in price action. Even during the Globex/Overnight session these levels are a factor.
Circle areas are examples of price reactions at OR key levels:
If you trade with the RDTS you already know how to use these levels as reaction and target zones.
For clues on which level price is being repelled or attracted I'd suggest you utilize bias and momentum indicators like the RDA.
Initial Balance vs Opening Range
Before we move on and discuss how to use this indicator I want to mention what I consider the difference between the Opening Range and the Initial Balance.
I've adopted the Opening Range verbiage for the first 60 minutes of trading even though the Opening Range is often defined as the first 15m or first 30m.
The more accurate term for the first 60m should be Initial Balance. I'm not sure exactly where this originated but I learned this term when I was heavily trading TPO-- the IB is the first 2 30m blocks of trading.
Any questions or improvements just comment below.
This script was created in by both Bhangerang (an Alpha member of the RDTS) with help by @RexDogActual as well as permission to publish.
Ultimate Trend ChannelThe "Ultimate Trend Channel" indicator is a comprehensive trend analysis tool that calculates and displays a series of upper and lower bands based on user-defined input lengths. It uses linear regression and standard deviation to determine these bands for each of the 21 different group lengths. The indicator then computes the averages of these upper and lower bands, as well as the average of all the bands combined.
The visualization on the chart includes the plotting of the average upper and lower bands, with the space between these bands shaded for easy visualization of the overall trend. Additionally, the average of all the bands, referred to as the "Ultimate Trend Line," is also plotted on the chart.
This indicator provides a robust way of assessing market trends and volatility over varying periods, which can be extremely useful for both short-term and long-term trading strategies.
ATR Daily BandThis indicator draws an upper and lower band for each day. It uses the Average True Range calculation (with configurable lookback) and places the band at 1ATR above and 1ATR below the daily open.
I use this indicator as a simple gauge to tell how significant price movement is, and get a feel for the daily volatility. Due to the fractal nature of price action, it can be difficult to determine if a price movement is significant while zoomed in on a single intraday chart. Using this indicator, I can tell if the price action is approaching the ATR or if it's just staying within the band.
Strategies: Useful for both mean reversion and momentum strategies. It's up to you to decide how this metric will fit into your trading strategy. I currently use this indicator to look for mean reversion setups, but that is due to the current market conditions and my personal trading style.
Scalping Strategy (5min)This indicator is designed for scalping strategies on a 5-minute timeframe. It generates signals based on two RSI crossovers and incorporates moving averages to identify trends. Additionally, a Bollinger Band is included to eliminate the need for an additional Bollinger Band on the chart.
Please note that this indicator does not guarantee 100% accurate signals and may produce false signals. It is recommended to use this indicator in conjunction with other indicators such as Stochastic, MACD, SuperTrend, or any other suitable indicators to enhance the accuracy of trading decisions.
1) Signal Generation: The indicator generates buy and sell signals based on two RSI crossovers. A buy signal is generated when the fast RSI crosses above the slow RSI, indicating potential bullish momentum. Conversely, a sell signal is generated when the fast RSI crosses below the slow RSI, suggesting potential bearish momentum.
2) To adjust the indicator to your specific chart and trading preferences, you have the flexibility to modify the RSI and moving average (MA) values. By changing the RSI values (slow RSI length and fast RSI length), you can fine-tune the sensitivity of the RSI crossovers to suit different timeframes and market conditions. Similarly, adjusting the MA values (slow MA period and fast MA period) allows you to adapt the indicator to the desired trend identification and short-term trend confirmation.
3) Pay attention to trades that are confirmed by the short-term moving average (MA) aligning with the desired direction. For buy signals, ensure that the short MA is tending upward, indicating a potential uptrend. For sell signals, confirm that the short MA is trending downward, suggesting a potential downtrend.
4) Moving Averages: The indicator uses a 200-period moving average (MA) to identify the overall trend and a short-term MA for additional confirmation.
5) Bollinger Band: The included Bollinger Band is not directly used in the indicator's calculations. However, it is provided for convenience so that users don't need to add another Bollinger Band to their chart separately.
6) Exercise caution when the short MA is below the 200-period MA but showing signs of attempting an upward move. These situations may indicate a potential reversal or consolidation, and it is advisable to avoid taking trades solely based on the 200-period MA crossover in such cases.
Remember that these guidelines are intended to provide additional insights and should be used in combination with your trading judgment and analysis.
MOJO Opening Range BoxScript allows you to create a box around a time range of your choice. box turns green if price is above opening candle, red otherwise.
Linear Regression Channel (Log)The Linear Regression Channel (Log) indicator is a modified version of the Linear Regression channel available on TradingView. It is designed to be used on a logarithmic scale, providing a different perspective on price movements.
The indicator utilizes the concept of linear regression to visualize the overall price trend in a specific section of the chart. The central line represents the linear regression calculation, while the upper and lower lines indicate a certain number of standard deviations away from the central line. These bands serve as support and resistance levels, and when prices remain outside the channel for an extended period, a potential reversal may be anticipated.
I have replaced the Pearson values with trend strength levels to enhance understanding for individuals unfamiliar with Pearson correlation.
custom Bollinger bands with filters - indicator (AS)-----------Description-------------
This indicator is basically Bollinger bands with many ways to customize. It uses highest and lowest values of upper and lower band for exits. I think something is wrong with the script but cant find any mistakes – most probably smoothing. The ATR filter is implemented but is working incorrectly. In code you can also turn it into strategy but I do not recommend it for now as it is not ready yet.
So this is my first script and I am looking for any advice, ideas to improve this script, sets of parameters, markets to apply, logical mistakes in code or any ideas that you may have. Indicator was initially designed for EURUSD 5MIN but I would be interested in other ideas.

The indicator plots historic lines for high, low and close prices shown in settings as "base levels". Users can control the lookback period that is plotted along with an optional multiplier. Traders will notice that the price bounces off these historic base levels. The base levels are shown as light gray by default (customizable in the settings). Users may choose to display base levels by a combination of historic high, low and close values.
On top of the historic base levels, the indicator display higher high and lower low levels from the current bar high/low. Higher highs are shown by default in pink and lower lows by default in yellow. The user can adjust the lookback period for displaying higher highs and the optional multiplier. Only historic values higher than the current bar high are displayed filtering out (by highlighting) the remaining levels for the current bar. Users may choose to use a combination of historic open, low and close values for displaying higher highs. The user can adjust the lookback period for displaying lower lows and the optional multiplier. Only historic values lower than the current bar low are displayed filtering out (by highlighting) the remaining levels for the current bar. Users may choose to use a combination of historic open, low and close values for displaying lower low.
The indicator includes two optional filters for filtering out higher highs and lower lows to focus (highlight) the most relevant levels. The filters include KC and a simple price multiplier filter. The latter is enabled by default and recommended.
The indicator aims to provide two things; first a simple plot of historic base levels and second as the price moves to highlight the most relevant levels for the current price action. While the indicator works on all timeframes, it was tested with the weekly. Please keep in mind adjusting the timeframe may require the lookback settings to be adjusted to ensure the bars are within range.
How should I use this indicator?
Traders may use this indicator to gain a visual reference of support and resistance levels from higher periods of time with the most likely levels highlighted in pink and yellow. Replaying the indicator gives a visual show of levels in action and just how very often price action bounces from these highlighted levels.
Additional Notes
This indicator does increase the max total lines allowed which may impact performance depending on device specs. No alerts or signals for now. Perhaps coming soon...
SMI Momentum Bollinger Squeeze Signals - TradeUIMomentum Bollinger Squeeze Signals - TradeUI
The Squeeze Momentum Indicator (SMI) uses the principles of the Squeeze Indicator, which is a volatility indicator, and combines them with a momentum calculation to provide a more comprehensive view of the market.
The original Squeeze Indicator uses the relationship between the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels to identify periods of low volatility, known as "Squeezes", and potential breakout points. The SMI takes this one step further by adding a momentum calculation, making it a more dynamic tool for trading.
The momentum calculation is based on the rate of change of the asset's price. When the price increases rapidly, it signifies positive momentum, and when the price decreases rapidly, it signifies negative momentum.
Purple CloudThe above lines calculate several intermediate values used in the indicator's calculations. Here's a breakdown of each variable:
a1: Represents a modified Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the high price series, subtracted by a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the low price series.
a2: Takes the square root of the lowest value between the highest close price over the last 200 bars and the current close price, multiplied by a1.
b1: Represents a modified EMA of the low price series, subtracted by an SMA of the high price series.
b2: Takes the square root of the highest value between the lowest close price over the last 200 bars and the current close price, multiplied by b1.
c1: Represents the square root of a2 multiplied by b2.
These lines create multiple plots using the plot function. Each plot represents a displaced version of c1 by a certain multiple of the Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by a constant factor (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, etc.). The transparency (transp) is set to 100 for all plots.
Psychological levels (Bank levels) PsychoLevels v3 - TartigradiaPsychological levels (Bank levels) plots the closest "round" price levels above and below current price, based on neuroscience research of how humans intuitively calculate in logarithms.
Psychological levels, also called bank levels, are "round" price numbers, by truncating after the nth leftmost digits, around which price often experience resistance or support, because traders and investors tend to set orders around these round numbers.
The calculation done here is fully automatic and dynamic, contrary to other similar scripts, this one uses a mathematical calculation that extracts the 1, 2 or 3 leftmost digits and calculate the previous and next level by incrementing/decrementing these digits. This means it works for any symbol under any price range.
This approach is based on neuroscience research, which found that human brains intuitively approximate numbers on a logarithmic scale, adults and children alike, and similarly to macaques, for more info see Numerical Cognition , Weber-Fechner Law , Zipf law .
For example, if price is at 0.0421, the next major price level is 0.05 and medium one is 0.043. For another asset currently priced at 19354, the next and previous major price levels are 20000 and 10000 respectively, and the next/previous medium levels are 20000 and 19000, and the next/previous weak levels are 19400 and 19300.
IMPORTANT: Please enable "Scale price chart only" in the chart's scale's options, as otherwise major levels may make the chart's scale very small and hard to read.
How it works
At any time, there are 3 levels of strength (1 leftmost digit, 2 leftmost digits, 3 leftmost digits) represented by different sizes, and 3 directional levels for each of these strengths (level above, level below, and half-level) represented by different colors and positions, around current price.
Indeed, contrary to other similar price levels scripts, we do not plot ALL price levels at all times, because otherwise the chart becomes wayyy too cluttered, and also it's highly processing intensive to plot so many lines. So we here use a dynamical approach: we plot only the relevant levels, the closest ones according to current price.
Hence, when a level disappears, it does not mean that it does not exist anymore, but simply that we are not drawing it right now because it is not pertinent for the current price movement (ie, too far away).
Breakouts can be detected in two different ways depending on if SMA is set to a value higher than 1 or not: if SMA == 1, then there is no smoothing, so the levels adapt instantaneously to the current price, so to detect breakout, you should refer to the levels at the previous tick and whether they were broken by current tick's price; if SMA > 1, then there is some smoothing, and so the levels will stay in-place even if there is a breakout, so it's easier to spot breakouts without having to look at the previous ticks, but on the other hand you won't see the new levels for the new price range until after a few more ticks for the smoothing window to adapt. Hence, by default, smoothing is disabled, so that you can see the currently pertinent levels at all time, even right after or during a breakout.
By default, the strong above level is in green, strong below level is in red, medium above level is in blue, medium below level is in yellow, and weak levels aren't displayed but can be. Half levels are also displayed, in a darker color. Strong levels are increments of the first leftmost digit (eg, 10000 to 20000), medium levels are increments of the second leftmost digit (eg, 19000 to 20000), and weak levels of the third leftmost digit (eg, 19100 to 19200). Instead of plotting all the psychological levels all at once as a grid, which makes the chart unintelligible, here the levels adapt dynamically around the current price, so that they show the above/below/half levels relatively to the current price.
Indeed, "half-levels" are also displayed (eg, medium level can also display 19500 instead of only 19000 or 20000). This was made because otherwise the gap between two levels was too big, especially for the strongest levels (eg, there was no major level between 20000 and 30000, but with a half-step we also get a half-level at 25000, and empirically price tends to respect these half levels - I also tried quarter levels but empirically the results were not good). In addition to this hard-coded half-level, you can also create more subdivisions (eg, quarter levels) by setting the simple moving average to a value higher than 1.
The script can be made to run on the daily timeframe whatever the current chart's timeframe is, to reduce the variability in levels, to make it less noisy than intraday price movement. But by default, the chart resolution is used, because I empirically found that the levels found with this indicator work on all time resolutions quite well.
The step can be adjusted to increase the gap between levels, eg, if you want to display one every 2 levels then input step = 2 (eg, 22000, 24000, 26000, etc), or if you want to display quarter levels, input 0.25 (eg, 22000, 22250, 22500, etc). The default values should fit most use cases and cover most psychological levels.
How to read
Focust first on bigger dotted levels, they are stronger and more likely to cause a rebound or a major event or price to stay at this level.
Remember that it's not enough to just look at levels, the context is important, because levels have various effects depending on current price movement: if price is above a level, the level is a support on which price can rebound; if price is below a level, the level is a resistance on which price can rebound (or break); and finally sometimes price also stays hovering around a level for some time.
Levels closer to 9 are less weaker, and levels closer to 0 are stronger, according to Zipf law. This is now reflected since v3 in the transparency, levels that are closer to 9 will be more transparent.
The switch in color for the same level illustrates how a level switches from being a support to a resistance and inversely. Eg, if a major level turns from green to red, then it changed from being a resistance (above) to a support (below).
As is well known in trading, longer standing levels are stronger. This indicator provides a direct illustration: in practice, the number of consecutive dots on the same line influences the strength of the level: the longer the chain of dots, the more you can expect this price level to be significant. The length does not mean the level will necessarily hold, but that other traders are likely to monitor if it holds, and if not then price will break down. Hence, longer levels are good spots to place stop losses, or to enter trades depending on your strategy. In general, a single dot is not enough to consider a level significant, but 2 or more is a good enough level, and 10+ is a strong level. Intuitively, this makes sense, and is what pro traders do: the longer a level is tested, the stronger it is. This indicator can visually represent this intuition and allows to use it as a more systematic trading signal.
Motivation
I initially made the first version of the PsychoLevels indicator mainly to train with PineScript, but I found it surprisingly accurate to define levels that are respected by price movements. So I guess it can be useful for new traders and experienced traders alike, as it's easy to forget that psychological levels can often be as strong if not stronger than technical levels. It can also be used to quickly screen other minor assets for trading opportunities. For example, a hybrid strategy would be to manually define levels on BTCUSD but using this script to automatically define levels in crypto altcoins and quickly screen them for a trade opportunity that can be greater than with BTCUSD but with the same trend.
Personally, although initially I did not believe an automated tool would work well for this purpose, I could now empirically verify that it is quite reliable for the purpose of detecting levels, and so I use it all the time to find the levels automatically and help me monitor them like a hawk, so that I only have to draw uber major levels, the ones that last between cycles and that are hard to autodetect, but otherwise all daily/weekly levels are usually covered. However, trendlines must still be drawn manually or with another indicator (but note that up to now I have found none that worked well enough), as PsychoLevels only draws levels (ie, horizontal lines, not oblique ones!).
Differences with the previous version PsychoLevels v2
price levels now have a transparency according to their importance for the human brain: numbers closer to 9 are weaker, and numbers closer to 0 are stronger and represent a major psychological threshold (eg, that's why prices marked as $9.99 sell better than $10.00). This option can be disabled to get the exact same behavior as v2.
