External Signals Strategy Tester v5External Signals Strategy Tester v5 – User Guide (English)
1. Purpose
This Pine Script strategy is a universal back‑tester that lets you plug in any external buy/sell series (for example, another indicator, webhook feed, or higher‑time‑frame condition) and evaluate a rich set of money‑management rules around it – with a single click on/off workflow for every module.
2. Core Workflow
Feed signals
Buy Signal / Sell Signal inputs accept any series (price, boolean, output of request.security(), etc.).
A crossover above 0 is treated as “signal fired”.
Date filter
Start Date / End Date restricts the test window so you can exclude unwanted history.
Trade engine
Optional Long / Short enable toggles.
Choose whether opposite signals simply close the trade or reverse it (flip direction in one transaction).
Risk modules – all opt‑in via check‑boxes
Classic % block – fixed % Take‑Profit / Stop‑Loss / Break‑Even.
Fibonacci Bollinger Bands (FBB) module
Draws dynamic VWMA/HMA/SMA/EMA/DEMA/TEMA mid‑line with ATR‑scaled Fibonacci envelopes.
Every line can be used for stops, trailing, or multi‑target exits.
Separate LONG and SHORT sub‑modules
Each has its own SL plus three Take‑Profits (TP1‑TP3).
Per TP you set line, position‑percentage to close, and an optional trailing flag.
Executed TP/SLs deactivate themselves so they cannot refire.
Trailing behaviour
If Trail is checked, the selected line is re‑evaluated once per bar; the order is amended via strategy.exit().
3. Inputs Overview
Group Parameter Notes
Trade Settings Enable Long / Enable Short Master switches
Close on Opposite / Reverse Position How to react to a counter‑signal
Risk % Use TP / SL / BE + their % Traditional fixed‑distance management
Fibo Bands FIBO LEVELS ENABLE + visual style/length Turn indicator overlay on/off
FBB LONG SL / TP1‑TP3 Enable, Line, %, Trail Rules applied only while a long is open
FBB SHORT SL / TP1‑TP3 Enable, Line, %, Trail Rules applied only while a short is open
Line choices: Basis, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.764, 1.0 – long rules use lower bands, short rules use upper bands automatically.
4. Algorithm Details
Position open
On the very first bar after entry, the script checks the direction and activates the corresponding LONG or SHORT module, deactivating the other.
Order management loop (every bar)
FBB Stop‑Loss: placed/updated at chosen band; if trailing, follows the new value.
TP1‑TP3: each active target updates its limit price to the selected band (or holds static if trailing is off).
The classic % block runs in parallel; its exits have priority because they call strategy.close_all().
Exit handling
When any strategy.exit() fires, the script reads exit_id and flips the *_Active flag so that order will not be recreated.
A Stop‑Loss (SL) also disables all remaining TPs for that leg.
5. Typical Use Cases
Scenario Suggested Setup
Scalping longs into VWAP‐reversion Enable LONG TP1 @ 0.382 (30 %), TP2 @ 0.618 (40 %), SL @ 0.236 + trailing
Fade shorts during news spikes Enable SHORT SL @ 1.0 (no trail) and SHORT TP1,2,3 on consecutive lowers with small size‑outs
Classic trend‑follow Use only classic % TP/SL block and disable FBB modules
6. Hints & Tips
Signal quality matters – this script manages exits, it does not generate entries.
Keep TV time zone in mind when picking start/end dates.
For portfolio‑style testing allocate smaller default_qty_value than 100 % or use strategy.percent_of_equity sizing.
You can combine FBB exits with fixed‑% ones for layered management.
7. Limitations / Safety
No pyramiding; the script holds max one position at a time.
All calculations are bar‑close; intra‑bar touches may differ from real‑time execution.
The indicator overlay is optional, so you can run visual‑clean tests by unchecking FIBO LEVELS ENABLE.
Higher Timeframe TrendMap [BigBeluga]🔵HTF TrendMap
A powerful visual overlay that brings higher timeframe market structure directly onto your intraday chart.
This tool maps directional bias, trend strength, and dynamic range boundaries from a user-selected HTF (like Daily or 4H), offering a real-time confluence layer for scalpers, day traders, and swing traders.
By plotting the evolving average (HL2), it acts as a volatility-weighted trend anchor, allowing you to align lower timeframe entries with higher timeframe intent.
Technical Overview:
At the close of each higher timeframe (HTF) candle, the indicator stores the high, low, and calculates the HL2 midpoint. These values are then referenced on the lower timeframe chart to plot trend direction and price boundaries.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Maps the selected higher timeframe (HTF) (e.g., Daily) onto your current chart.
At the close of each HTF candle , it starts to calculate and store the highest, lowest, and average (HL2) price levels .
The average (HL2) value is treated as the HTF trend baseline —plotted in orange for uptrend , blue for downtrend .
Visual curve thickens and fades to show progress through the HTF period (stronger color = fresher data).
Horizontal dashed lines show HTF high and low levels that persist until the next period closes.
On every HTF close, two price labels are printed for the high and low levels.
Vertical separators visually mark the start of each HTF candle for easy structural recognition.
A real-time dashboard shows selected HTF, current trend direction (🢁/🢃), and updates dynamically.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use the HTF average line as a bias filter —only long when the trend is up (orange), short when down (blue).
HTF high/low labels help identify key breakout or rejection zones .
Combine with intraday systems or reversal tools for multi-timeframe confluence setups .
Ideal for scalpers and swing traders who rely on HTF momentum shifts .
🔵 CONCLUSION
HTF TrendMap provides a clean, data-rich layer of higher timeframe context to any chart. With adaptive trend coloring, volatility mapping, and real-time data labeling, it enables traders to stay in sync with macro structure while executing on the micro.
VWAP table with color
## 📊 VWAP Table with Color – Clear VWAP Deviation at a Glance
This script displays a **VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price)** table in a non-intrusive, color-coded panel on your chart. It helps you **quickly assess where the current price stands relative to VWAP**, classified into sigma bands (standard deviations). The goal is to provide valuable VWAP insight **without cluttering the chart with multiple lines**.
---
### 🔍 Purpose & Concept
VWAP is a powerful tool used by institutional traders to measure the average price an asset has traded at throughout the day, based on both volume and price.
In this script:
- We **do not plot traditional VWAP lines** with multiple ±1σ, ±2σ, etc., on the chart.
- Instead, we **summarize VWAP and its relative position in a table**, color-coded by deviation.
- This provides the **same information**, but in a **cleaner, minimal, and visually digestible format**.
---
### 🧠 VWAP Deviation Classification
The script calculates how far the current price is from the VWAP, in units of **standard deviation (σ)**.
The formula is:
```plaintext
VWAP Delta σ = (Current Price - VWAP) / Standard Deviation
```
This gives you a normalized value for deviation from VWAP, and it is **clamped between -3 and +3** to avoid extreme outliers.
Each range is color-coded and classified as:
| VWAP Δσ | Zone | Interpretation | Color |
|---------|---------------|------------------------------------------|--------------|
| -3σ | Far Below | Strongly below VWAP – potentially oversold | 🔴 Red |
| -2σ | Below | Below VWAP – bearish territory | 🟠 Orange |
| -1σ | Slightly Below| Slightly under VWAP – weak signal | 🟡 Yellow |
| 0σ | At VWAP | Price is around VWAP – neutral zone | ⚪ Gray |
| +1σ | Slightly Above| Slightly above VWAP – weak bullish | 🟢 Lime Green |
| +2σ | Above | Above VWAP – bullish signal | 🟢 Green |
| +3σ | Far Above | Strongly above VWAP – potentially overbought | 🟦 Teal |
This **compact summary in the table** provides a clear situational view while keeping the chart clean.
---
### ⚙️ User Customization
Users can configure:
- **VWAP σ Multiplier** (default 0.1) to set the width of the optional VWAP band on the chart.
- **Table Position** (Top Center, Bottom Right, etc.).
- **Text Size** and **Text Color**.
- **Hide VWAP logic**: VWAP data can be hidden automatically on higher timeframes (e.g., daily or weekly).
- **Enable/disable the VWAP ±σ band lines** (optional visual aid).
---
### 📐 Technical Highlights
- VWAP is recalculated each day using `ta.vwap(hlc3, isNewPeriod, 1)`.
- The band width uses standard deviation and the selected multiplier: `VWAP ± σ * multiplier`.
- Table updates dynamically with the new VWAP values each day.
- To **avoid floating-point rounding issues**, `vwapDelta` is rounded before comparison, ensuring correct background color display.
---
### ✅ Why Use This?
- Keeps your chart **visually clean and readable**.
- Gives **immediate context** to current price action relative to VWAP.
- Helps **discretionary traders** or **scalpers** decide whether price is stretched too far from the mean.
- Easier than tracking multiple σ bands manually.
---
### Example Usage:
- On intraday timeframes, you can identify price exhaustion as it hits ±2σ or ±3σ.
- On a 5-minute chart, if price touches `+3σ`, you may consider taking profits on longs.
- On reversal setups, watch for price at `-3σ` with bullish divergence.
---
### 🧩 Future Enhancements (Optional Ideas)
- Add alerts for when `vwapDelta` crosses thresholds like ±2σ or ±3σ.
- Let user select the timeframe for VWAP source (e.g., 1H, 5M, etc.).
- Extend to display VWAP on session or weekly basis.

Daily ATR Bonanza: Expected Moves - Tr33man Daily ATR Bonanza: Expected Moves
Overview 🤷♂️
The Daily ATR Bonanza script is a powerful trading tool designed to help traders visualize and understand potential price movements using the Average True Range (ATR). It provides daily and weekly ATR levels, historical statistics, and conditional probability analysis to give traders actionable insights. The script also plots the daily Keltner channel. This script is ideal for traders who want to gauge volatility, identify key levels, and make data-driven decisions.
b]Key Features:
📈 1. Daily and Weekly ATR Levels
🔵ATR Levels: The script calculates and displays ATR-based levels for the day and week. These levels are derived from the previous day's or week's close price and are adjusted using customizable multipliers (0.5x, 1x, and 1.5x by default).
🔵You can choose the number of ATR levels (1, 2, or 3) and adjust the multipliers to suit your trading strategy.
🌐 2. ATR Bands (Keltner Channels)
🔵The script includes an option to display ATR Bands, which are volatility-based envelopes around a moving average. These bands help identify overbought and oversold conditions.
🔵You can adjust the ATR multiplier and the length of the moving average used for the bands.
🧮 3. Historical Statistics and Conditional Probability
🔵 Historical Analysis: The script analyzes historical price movements to calculate the likelihood of closing at certain ATR levels.
🔵 Conditional Probability: This feature shows the probability of the price reaching specific ATR levels given the current market conditions. The conditional matches historical data by an open in the same opening ATR bucket, as well as the current price bucket having been visited in the historical case. Conditional probabilities are just statistics, and do not predict anything.
Data Table: 📚
🔵 Historical Close Probability: The percentage of days the price closed within each ATR level.
🔵 Conditional Close Probability: The likelihood of the price closing within each ATR level today.
❓ What is Conditional Probability? ❓
Conditional probability is a statistical measure that calculates the likelihood of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred. In this script, it is used to determine the probability of the price reaching specific ATR levels based on the current opening range as well as current ATR distance from the previous close.
For example:
If the market opens near the lower end of the first ATR level, the script calculates the likelihood of the price reaching the upper end of the first, second, or third ATR level.
This analysis is based on historical data, making it a powerful tool for understanding potential price movements.
🌟 Understanding the Levels
🔵Daily Levels: These are based on the previous day's close price and ATR. They are updated at the start of each new day.
🔵Weekly Levels: These are based on the previous week's close price and ATR. They are updated at the start of each new week.
🔵ATR Bands: These are dynamic levels that adjust with market volatility.
🔬 Analyze the Statistics (Daily only for now, no weekly yet)
🔵Use the interactive table to understand historical probabilities and conditional probabilities.
🔵Focus on the current opening range and the likelihood of reaching specific levels.
🧠 Make Trading Decisions
🔵Use the ATR levels and bands to identify key support and resistance levels.
🔵Use the conditional probability table to gauge the likelihood of reaching specific targets.
🔵Adjust your strategy based on the historical performance of the market.
Example Use Cases
1. Day Trading
Use the daily ATR levels to set intraday targets and stop-loss levels.
Monitor the conditional probability table to adjust your expectations based on the opening range.
2. Swing Trading
Use the weekly ATR levels to identify longer-term support and resistance levels.
3. Scalping
Use the ATR bands to identify overbought and oversold conditions.
Use the conditional probability table to quickly assess the likelihood of price movements.
Volume-Weighted Pivot BandsThe Volume-Weighted Pivot Bands are meant to be a dynamic, rolling pivot system designed to provide traders with responsive support and resistance levels that adapt to both price volatility and volume participation. Unlike traditional daily pivot levels, this tool recalculates levels bar-by-bar using a rolling window of volume-weighted averages, making it highly relevant for intraday traders, scalpers, swing traders, and algorithmic systems alike.
-- What This Indicator Does --
This tool calculates a rolling VWAP-based pivot level, and surrounds that central pivot with up to five upper bands (R1–R5) and five lower bands (S1–S5). These act as dynamic zones of potential resistance (R) and support (S), adapting in real time to price and volume changes.
Rather than relying on static session or daily data, this indicator provides continually evolving levels, offering more relevant levels during sideways action, trending periods, and breakout conditions.
-- How the Bands Are Calculated --
Pivot (VWAP Pivot):
The core of this system is a rolling Volume-Weighted Average Price, calculated over a user-defined window (default 20 bars). This ensures that each bar’s price impact is weighted by its volume, giving a more accurate view of fair value during the selected lookback.
Volume-Weighted Range (VW Range):
The highest high and lowest low over the same window are used to calculate the volatility range — this acts as a spread factor.
Support & Resistance Bands (S1–S5, R1–R5):
The bands are offset above and below the pivot using multiples of the VW Range:
R1 = Pivot + (VW Range × multiplier)
R2 = R1 + (VW Range × multiplier)
R3 = R2 + (VW Range x multiplier)
...
S1 = Pivot − (VW Range × multiplier)
S2 = S1 − (VW Range × multiplier)
S3 = S2 - (VW Range x multiplier)
...
You can control the multiplier manually (default is 0.25), to widen or tighten band spacing.
Smoothing (Optional):
To prevent erratic movements, you can optionally toggle on/off a simple moving average to the pivot line (default length = 20), providing a smoother trend base for the bands.
-- How to Use It --
This indicator can be used for:
Support and resistance identification:
Price often reacts to R1/S1, and the outer bands (R4/R5 or S4/S5) act as overshoot zones or strong reversal areas.
Trend context:
If price is respecting upper bands (R2–R3), the trend is likely bullish. If price is pressing into S3 or lower, it may indicate sustained selling pressure or a breakdown.
Volatility framing:
The distance between bands adjusts based on price range over the rolling window. In tighter markets, the bands compress — in volatile moves, they expand. This makes the indicator self-adaptive.
Mean reversion trades:
A move into R4/R5 or S4/S5 without continuation can be a sign of exhaustion — potential for reversal toward the pivot.
Alerting:
Built-in alerts are available for crosses of all major bands (R1–R5, S1–S5), enabling trade automation or scalp alerts with ease.
-- Visual Features --
Fuchsia Lines: Mark all Resistance (R1–R5) levels.
Lime Lines: Mark all Support (S1–S5) levels.
Gray Circle Line: Marks the rolling pivot (VWAP-based).
-- Customizable Settings --
Rolling Length: Number of bars used to calculate VWAP and VW Range.
Multiplier: Controls how wide the bands are spaced.
Smooth Pivot: Toggle on/off to smooth the central pivot.
Pivot Smoothing Length: Controls how many bars to average when smoothing is enabled.
Offset: Visually shift all bands forward/backward in time.
-- Why Use This Over Standard Pivots? --
Traditional pivots are based on previous session data and remain fixed. That’s useful for static setups, but may become irrelevant as price action evolves. In contrast:
This system updates every bar, adjusting to current price behavior.
It includes volume — a key feature missing from most static pivots.
It shows multiple bands, giving a full view of compression, breakout potential, or trend exhaustion.
-- Who Is This For? --
This tool is ideal for:
Day traders & scalpers who need relevant intraday levels.
Swing traders looking for evolving areas of confluence.
Algorithmic/systematic traders who rely on quantifiable, volume-aware support/resistance.
Traders on all assets: works on crypto, stocks, futures, forex — any chart that has volume.
Bollinger + EMA Strategy with StatsThis strategy is a mean-reversion trading model that combines Bollinger Band deviation entries with EMA-based exits. It enters a long position when the price drops significantly below the lower Bollinger Band by a user-defined multiple of standard deviation (x), and a short position when the price exceeds the upper band by the same logic. To manage risk, it uses a wider Bollinger Band threshold (y standard deviations) as a stop loss, while take profit occurs when the price reverts to the n-period EMA, indicating mean reversion. The strategy maintains only one active position at a time—either long or short—and allocates a fixed percentage of capital per trade. Performance metrics such as equity curve, drawdown, win rate, and total trades are tracked and displayed for backtesting evaluation.
SmartScale Envelope DCA This is a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) long strategy that buys when price dips below a moving average envelope and adds to the position in a stepwise, risk-controlled way. It uses up to 8 buy-ins, applies a cooldown between entries, and exits based on either a take profit from average entry price or a stop loss. Backtest range limits trades to the last 365 days for backtest control.
All input settings can and should be adjusted to the chart, as volatility in price action varies. Simply go into the inputs settings, and start from the top and move down to get better backtest results. Moving from the top down has been proven to give the best results. Then, move to properties and set your order size, pyramiding, and so on. It may be necessary to then fine tune your adjustments a second time to dial it in.
Works well on 1 hour time frames and in volatility.
Happy Trading!
Entropy Bands (TechnoBlooms)Entropy Bands — A New Era of Volatility and Trend Analysis
Entropy Bands is our next indicator as a part of the Quantum Price Theory (QPT) Series of indicators.
🧠 Overview
Entropy Bands are an advanced volatility-based indicator that reimagines traditional banded systems like Bollinger Bands.
Built on entropy theory, adaptive moving averages, and dynamic volatility measurement, Entropy Bands provide deeper insights into market randomness, trend strength, and breakout potential.
Instead of only relying on price deviation (like Bollinger Bands), Entropy Bands integrate chaos theory principles to create smarter, more responsive dynamic bands that adapt to real market behavior.
🚀Why is Entropy Bands Different — and Better
Dynamic Band Width : Adjusts using both entropy and ATR, creating smarter expansion/contraction.
Multi-Moving Average Core : Choose between SMA, EMA, or WMA for optimal centerline behavior.
Noise and Breakout Filtering : Filters fake breakouts by analyzing candle body size and entropy conditions.
Visual Clarity : Background and candle coloring highlight chaotic/noisy zones, trend zones, and breakout moments.
Entropy Bands don't just react to price — they analyze the underlying market behavior, offering superior decision-making signals.
📚 Watch Band Behavior:
Bands expand during volatility spikes or chaotic conditions.
Bands contract during low volatility or tight consolidation zones.
📚 Analyze Candle Coloring:
Green = Bullish breakout (closing above upper band).
Pink = Bearish breakout (closing below lower band).
Gray = Inside bands (neutral/random noise).
✨ Key Features of Entropy Bands:
Entropy-Based Band Width Calculation: A scientific edge over pure price deviation methods.
Dynamic Background Coloring: Highlights high entropy areas where randomness dominates.
Candle Breakout Coloring: Easy-to-spot trend breakouts and strength moves.
Multi-MA Flexibility: Adapt the bands’ core to trending, ranging, or volatile markets.
Body Size Filter: Protects against fake breakouts by requiring meaningful candle body moves.

DETAILED SIGNAL LOGIC
Trend Determination:
The script determines the trend direction by comparing leading_line1 and leading_line2.
If leading_line1 is above leading_line2, the trend is considered bullish (isBullish). Otherwise, it's bearish (isBearish).
Signal Conditions:
Long Entry (LE): Triggered when the trend turns bullish from bearish.
Short Entry (SE): Triggered when the trend turns bearish from bullish.
Exit Long (XL): Triggered when the price crosses below leading_line1 during an uptrend.
Re-enter Long (RL): Triggered when the price crosses above leading_line1 during an uptrend.
Exit Short (XS): Triggered when the price crosses above leading_line1 during a downtrend.
Re-enter Short (RS): Triggered when the price crosses below leading_line1 during a downtrend.
Label Styling:
Labels are color-coded for quick identification:
Green for long entries and re-entries.
Red for short entries and exits.
Blue for exiting long positions.
Orange for re-entering short positions.
Tooltips provide additional context for each label.
Alert Configuration:
Alerts are generated for each signal condition, ensuring traders are notified promptly.
Users can set up these alerts within TradingView by creating new alerts and selecting the appropriate conditions.
LIMITATIONS
The indicator may lag behind price action due to its use of moving averages and channel calculations 🕒.
False signals can occur in choppy or sideways markets 🌪️.
Users should always confirm signals with other forms of analysis.
NOTES
Ensure that you have sufficient historical data available for accurate calculations.
Test the indicator thoroughly on demo accounts before applying it to live trading 🔍.
Customize the appearance and parameters as needed to fit your trading strategy.

Multi-Timeframe Closures with Signals month week dayMulti-Timeframe Price Anchoring Indicator (Monthly, Weekly, Daily)
This indicator provides a powerful visual framework for analyzing price action across three major timeframes: monthly, weekly, and daily. It plots the closing prices of each timeframe directly on the chart to help traders assess where current price stands in relation to significant historical levels.
🔍 Core Features:
Monthly, Weekly, and Daily Close Lines: Automatically updated at the start of each new period.
Color-coded Price Anchors: Each timeframe is visually distinct for fast interpretation.
Multi-timeframe Awareness: Helps you identify trend alignment or divergence across different time horizons.
Long & Short Bias Signals: The script can optionally display long or short suggestions based on where the current price stands relative to the anchored closing prices.
📈 How to Use:
Trend Confirmation: If price is consistently above all three levels, it signals a strong bullish trend (potential long bias). If it’s below, the opposite applies (short bias).
Reversal or Pullback Zones: When price becomes extended far above/below the monthly and weekly closes, it may suggest overbought/oversold conditions and the possibility of a reversal or retracement.
Intraday Alignment: Useful for traders who want to enter positions on lower timeframes while being aware of higher timeframe trends.
This indicator is ideal for swing traders, day traders, and position traders who want to anchor their decisions to meaningful multi-timeframe reference points.

Weekly Open Range gives traders a reliable structure to anchor their week. With clear range mapping, breakout signals, and intuitive visuals, it becomes a valuable part of any strategic trading approach—especially when precision timing around liquidity zones is key.
Smart Breakout with ATR Stop-LossThe Smart Breakout indicator combines a classic 20-day Donchian channel breakout with a tight trailing stop, drawing green lines and “ENTRY” labels at the bar after a valid breakout, and red lines and “EXIT” label at the bar after a stop-loss breach.
By default it uses the chart’s timeframe to compute ATR and stops, but you can flip on Daily lock to freeze both ATR and price reads at the daily resolution—so your stops stay the same whether you view at 1s, 15 m, 4h or lower frequency bars.
Key features:
20-day Donchian breakout: entry when price closes above the highest high of the previous 20 bars
2 × ATR(14) trailing stop: initialized at entry and raised only when the new (close – 2 × ATR) exceeds the prior stop
Daily lock option: Ensures all ATR and close values are calculated on the daily timeframe, keeping stop levels consistent across resolutions

Bollinger Free BarsIdentify Extreme Price Actions with Non-Overlay Visualization
Core Functionality
This indicator detects two types of Bollinger Band breakout patterns without cluttering your chart:
1 ️⃣ Half Breakout Bar (Blue Triangles)
- Triggers when both open & close prices are outside the Bollinger Bands
- Suggests strong directional momentum continuation
2 ️⃣ Complete Breakout Bar (Red Flags)
- Activates when entire price action (including wicks) stays outside the bands
- Signals extreme volatility exhaustion points
Feature Highlights
◾ Smart Band Display
Translucent bands (#2196F3 & #FF9800 with 70% transparency) maintain chart clarity while showing dynamic volatility ranges
◾ Parameter Customization
- Adjustable period (default 20) & deviation multiplier (default 2.0)
- Selectable price source (close/open/high/low)
◾ Statistical Validation
Based on Bollinger Band's 95.4% price containment principle, signals filter out 4.6% extreme market conditions for high-probability scenarios.
Recommended Usage
1. Combine with volume analysis (significant breakout with high volume increases signal reliability)
2. Confirm with trend lines or RSI divergence
3. Adjust transparency via "Style" tab for multi-indicator layouts
Code Safety
- No repainting: All calculations use historical price data only

Market Structure Confluence [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script is called "Market Structure Confluence" and it combines classic market structure analysis with a dynamic volatility-based band system to detect shifts in trend and momentum more reliably. It tracks key swing points (higher highs, higher lows, lower highs, lower lows) to define the trend, then overlays a basis and ATR-smoothed volatility bands to catch rejection signals and highlight potential inflection points in the market.
CONCEPTS
Market structure is the foundation of price action trading, focusing on the relationship between successive highs and lows to understand trend conditions. Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) events are important because they signal when a market might be shifting direction. This script enhances traditional structure by integrating volatility bands, which act like dynamic support/resistance zones based on ATR, allowing it to capture momentum surges and rejections beyond just structural shifts.
FEATURES
Swing Detection: It detects and labels Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH), and Lower Lows (LL) based on user-defined time horizons, helping traders quickly spot the trend direction.
BOS and CHoCH Lines: When a previous swing point is broken, the script automatically plots a Break of Structure (BOS) line. If the break represents a major trend reversal (a CHoCH), it is marked differently to separate simple breakouts from real trend changes.
Rejection Signals: Special arrows plot when price pierces a band and then pulls back, suggesting a potential trap move or rejection signal in the direction of the new structure.
Alerts: Built-in alerts for structure breaks, CHoCHs, swing points, rejections at bands, and trend flips make it easy to automate setups without manually watching the chart.
USAGE
Set your preferred swing detection size depending on your timeframe and trading style — smaller numbers for intraday, larger numbers for swing trading. Choose whether you want BOS/CHoCH confirmed by candle closes or by wick breaks. Use the volatility band settings to fine-tune how tightly or loosely the bands hug the price, adjusting sensitivity based on market conditions. When a BOS or CHoCH occurs, or when a rejection happens at the bands, the script will highlight it clearly and optionally trigger alerts. Watch for combinations where both structure breaks and volatility band rejections happen together — those are high-quality trade signals. This setup works best when used with basic trend filtering and higher timeframe confirmation.
Anchored Bollinger Band Range [SS]This is the anchored Bollinger band indicator.
What it does?
The anchored BB indicator:
Takes a user defined range and calculates the Standard Deviation of the entire selected range for the high and low values.
Computes a moving average of the high and low during the selected period (which later becomes the breakout range average)
Anchors to the last high and last low of the period range to add up to 4 standard deviations to the upside and downside, giving you 4 high and low targets.
How can you use it?
The anchored BB indicator has many applicable uses, including
Identifying daily ranges based on premarket trading activity ( see below ):
Finding breakout ranges for intraday pattern setups ( see below ):
Identified pattern of interest:
Applying Anchored BB:
Identifying daily or pattern biases based on the position to the opening breakout range average (blue line). See the examples with explanations:
ex#1:
ex#2:
The Opening Breakout Average
As you saw in the examples above, the blue line represents the opening breakout range average.
This is the average high of the period of interest and the average low of the period of interest.
Price action above this line would be considered Bullish, and Bearish if below.
This also acts as a retracement zone in non-trending markets. For example:
Best Use Cases
Identify breakout ranges for patterns on larger timeframes. For example
This pattern on SPY, if we overlay the Anchored BB:
You want to see it actually breakout from this range and hold to confirm a breakout. Failure to exceed the BB range, means that it is just ranging with no real breakout momentum.
Identify conservative ranges for a specific period in time, for example QQQ:
Worst Use Cases
Using it as a hard and fast support and resistance indicator. This is not what it is for and ranges can be exceeded with momentum. The key is looking for whether ranges are exceeded (i.e. high momentum, thus breakout play) or they are not (thus low volume, rangy).
Using it for longer term outlooks. This is not ideal for long term ranges, as with any Bollinger/standard deviation based approach, it is only responsive to CURRENT PA and cannot forecast FUTURE PA.
User Inputs
The indicator is really straight forward. There are 2 optional inputs and 1 required input.
Period Selection: Required. Selects the period for the indicator to perform the analysis on. You just select it with your mouse on the chart.
Visible MA: Optional. You can choose to have the breakout range moving average visible or not.
Fills: Optional. You can choose to have the fills plotted or not.
And that is the indicator! Very easy to use and hope you enjoy and find it helpful!
As always, safe trades everyone! 🚀
Weekday Colors with Time Highlighting by NabojeetThis script is a Pine Script (version 6) indicator called "Weekday Colors with Time Highlighting" designed for TradingView charts. It has several key functions:
1. **Weekday Color Coding**:
- Assigns different background colors to each trading day (Monday through Friday)
- Allows users to customize the color for each day
- Includes toggles to enable/disable colors for specific days
2. **Time Range Highlighting**:
- Highlights a specific time period (e.g., 18:15-18:30) on every trading day
- Uses a custom color that can be adjusted by the user
- The time range is specified in HHMM-HHMM format
3. **High/Low Line Drawing**:
- Automatically identifies the highest high and lowest low points within the specified time range
- Draws horizontal lines at these levels when the time period ends
- Lines extend forward in time to serve as support/resistance references
- Users can customize the line color, width, and style (solid, dotted, or dashed)
The script is organized into logical sections with input parameters grouped by function (Weekday Colors, Weekday Display, Time Highlighting, and Horizontal Lines). Each section's inputs are customizable through the indicator settings panel.
This indicator would be particularly useful for traders who:
- Want visual distinction between different trading days
- Focus on specific time periods each day (like market opens, closes, or specific sessions)
- Use intraday support/resistance levels from key time periods
- Want to quickly identify session highs and lows
The implementation resets tracking variables at the beginning of each new time range and draws the lines once the time period ends, ensuring accurate high/low marking for each day's specified time window.

Gaussian Channel StrategyGaussian Channel Strategy — User Guide
1. Concept
This strategy builds trades around the Gaussian Channel. Based on Pine Script v4 indicator originally published by Donovan Wall. With rework to v6 Pine Script and adding entry and exit functions.
The channel consists of three dynamic lines:
Line Formula Purpose
Filter (middle) N-pole Gaussian filter applied to price Market "equilibrium"
High Band Filter + (Filtered TR × mult) Dynamic upper envelope
Low Band Filter − (Filtered TR × mult) Dynamic lower envelope
A position is opened when price crosses a user-selected line in a user-selected direction.
When the smoothed True Range (Filtered TR) becomes negative, the raw bands can flip (High drops below Low).
The strategy automatically reorders them so the upper band is always above the lower band.
Visual colors still flip, but signals stay correct.
2. Entry Logic
Choose a signal line for longs and/or shorts: Filter, Upper band, or Lower band.
Choose a cross direction (Cross Up or Cross Down).
A signal remains valid for Lookback bars after the actual cross, as long as price is still on the required side of the line.
When the opposite signal appears, the current position is closed or reversed depending on Reverse on opposite.
3. Parameters
Group Setting Meaning
Source & Filter Source Price series used (close, hlc3, etc.)
Poles (N) Number of Gaussian filter poles (1-9). More poles ⇒ smoother but laggier
Sampling Period Main period length of the channel
Filtered TR Multiplier Width of the bands in fractions of smoothed True Range
Reduced Lag Mode Adds a lag-compensation term (faster but noisier)
Fast Response Mode Blends 1-pole & N-pole outputs for quicker turns
Signals Long → signal line / Short → signal line Which line generates signals
Long when price / Short when price Direction of the cross
Lookback bars for late entry Bars after the cross that still allow an entry
Trading Enable LONG/SHORT-side trades Turn each side on/off
On opposite signal: reverse True: reverse -- False: flat
Misc Start trading date Ignores signals before this timestamp (back-test focus)
4. Quick Start
Add the strategy to a chart. Default: hlc3, N = 4, Period = 144.
Select your signal lines & directions.
Example: trend trading – Long: Filter + Cross Up, Short: Filter + Cross Down.
Disable either side if you want long-only or short-only.
Tune Lookback (e.g. 3) to catch gaps and strong impulses.
Run Strategy Tester, optimise period / multiplier / stops (add strategy.exit blocks if needed).
When satisfied, connect alerts via TradingView webhooks or use the builtin broker panel.
5. Notes
Commission & slippage are not preset – adjust them in Properties → Commission & Slippage.
Works on any market and timeframe, but you should retune Sampling Period and Multiplier for each symbol.
No stop-loss / take-profit is included by default – feel free to add with strategy.exit.
Start trading date lets you back-test only recent history (e.g. last two years).
6. Disclaimer
This script is for educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.
Use entirely at your own risk. Back-test thoroughly and apply sound risk management before trading real capital.
