Bill Williams Indicators

Fractal Breakout StrategyFractal A type of pattern used in technical analysis to predict a reversal in the current trend. A fractal pattern consists of five bars and is identified when the price meets the following characteristics: 1. A shift from a downtrend to an uptrend occurs when the lowest bar is located in the middle of the pattern and two bars with successively higher lows are positioned around it. 2. A shift from an uptrend to a downtrend occurs when the highest bar is located in the middle of the pattern and two bars with successively lower highs are positioned around it.

BreakBreak The idea of this indicator is to show the price trend, the pivot-based control points and possible Long and short trades. The pivot points create levels of support and resistance, if the price breaks the resistance means that the price is bullish, if the price breaks the supports means that the price is bearish. It shows the highs and lows based on pivot points, showing HH LH HL LL depending on the previous pivots. A better confirmation for an uptrend is to expect higher high (HH) and then a Higher Low (HL), and for a downtrend expect Lower Low (LL) and then a Lower High (LH). When the price breaks a previous high or low level, a signal will be triggered in that direction, it is also possible to filter these signals with a ribbon of moving averages, you can choose up to 14 different types of MA's.

BEST ABCD Pattern StrategyHello traders This is the strategy version of this script I - Concept I present to you, ladies and gentlemen, the first screener for harmonic patterns. Starting with an ACBD pattern screener this time!! I used the calculations from Ricardo Santo's script In short, he's using fractals (regular or Bill Williams ) for the pattern calculations. A masterpiece !!! II - Definitions The ABCD pattern ( AB=CD ) is one of the classic chart patterns which is repeated over and over again. The ABCD pattern shows perfect harmony between price and time. The Williams Fractal is an indicator, developed by Bill Williams, that aims to detect reversal points (highs and lows) and marks them with arrows. Up fractals and down fractals have specific shapes. The Williams Fractal indicator helps users determine in which direction price will develop 💎Strategy filters💎 I included some cool backtest filters: - flexible take profit in USD value (plotted in blue) - flexible stop loss in USD value (plotted in red) The take profit and stop loss should work with Forex/FX pairs as well All the BEST Dave

Bias And Sentiment Strength (BASS) Indicator by mattzabBias And Sentiment Strength (BASS) Indicator is designed to be a quick visualization as to the market strength. Pair with Alligator, MACD, or Moving Average lines on your chart for good results. How to use this indicator: Blue above 0 is positive sentiment, red below 0 is negative sentiment. If you have blue above and red below, be cautious! The Bass is telling you that we have a battle between the Bulls and the Bears! The purple bars are your volume bias. Volume bias can be positive or negative, despite the direction of the overall trend. Positive Volume Bias along with Bullish Blue Sentiment is a great sign! Go Long! If you have Bullish Sentiment and have a negative Volume Bias, be cautious! Price may not be moving with much conviction, and may be subject to reversal! This is basically several different histograms overlaying one another, and they are blue above 0 and red below 0. MACD Histogram - Standard MACD Histogram here. RSI Histogram - This is a standard RSI. It has been adjusted to "oscillate" above and below zero, which would be the 50 line on a normal RSI chart. Slow Stochastic Histogram - This is a slow stochastic with a 21 Period K, 14 Period D, and 14 Smoothing K. The "oscillator" histogram is formed by subtracting K from D. Awesome Oscillator - This is a standard Awesome Oscillator Alligator Oscillator - This is formed by adding (lips + teeth) + (teeth - jaw) Volume Bias - The Volume Bias is displayed as purple bars, and is calculated by a highly sophisticated and complex algorithmic function called subtraction. It's just the 30 Period Volume-Weighted Moving Average Minus the 30 Simple Moving Average. Enjoy!

Momentum Sentiment Indicator by mattzabThis indicator uses 3 moving averages and includes volume to display sentiment and momentum. By default, a 5, 8, and 13 SMA is displayed (black lines). The colored bands are the corresponding volume weighted moving averages. When the colored band is above the black line, sentiment is bullish. Think of the color as being a show of volume, and the black lines as support and resistance. When the lines are trending up, and colors are above the black lines, an uptrend is in progress. When the colors are mixed above and below, and the lines are intertwined, it is a ranging market. The lines operate similar to the Williams Alligator.

MultiTimeFrame Fractals D W M [xdecow]This indicator shows fractals in different timeframes. With the possibility of coloring the bars with any combination of current, daily, weekly and monthly timeframes. The return points are calculated as follows: high > last 3 highs and close above highest low low < last 3 lows and closes below lowest high The direction of higher timeframes fractals tend to be more durable and reliable. This indicator helps to find the fractal alignment of different timeframes, so that you can look for trade opportunities in the same direction as the higher timeframes and improve your chances.

Open Interest Market Facilitation IndexOriginal script from ChartChampions : Let's start. This script was created by using Open Interest instead of Volume in the Market Facilitation Index. Thus, it can make a difference in the Future and CFD Markets. If your financial instrument is not from these markets, that is, if Open Interest is not used, you can choose Volume. You can set "FUTURES" and "OTHERS" from the menu. If you use the Open Interest (FUTURES) option in the menu on 1W bars and defined Future markets, it will not repaint. This is the best use for Open Interests, as data is extracted from Quandl and CFTC COT reports are published once a week. Color Change Rules : In my version : Green Bars = Green Fade Bars = Orange Fake Bars = Blue Squat Bars = Red To show the difference in the presentation, both the Futures option using Open Interest and the Others option using Volume were published to compare. You can observe the difference. Best regards.

BEST ABCD Pattern ScreenerHello ladies and gentlemen traders Continuing deeper and stronger with the screeners' educational series one more time. This one is heavy crazy mega cool (pardon my french). I - Concept I present to you, ladies and gentlemen, the first screener for harmonic patterns. Starting with an ACBD pattern screener this time!! I used the calculations from Ricardo Santo's script In short, he's using fractals (regular or Bill Williams ) for the pattern calculations. A masterpiece !!! The screener will show in 1 consolidated chart the ABCD patterns for 5 selected assets. Could be stocks, forex, crypto, whatever you feel like making money with II - Definitions The ABCD pattern ( AB=CD ) is one of the classic chart patterns which is repeated over and over again. The ABCD pattern shows perfect harmony between price and time. More info here The Williams Fractal is an indicator, developed by Bill Williams, that aims to detect reversal points (highs and lows) and marks them with arrows. Up fractals and down fractals have specific shapes. The Williams Fractal indicator helps users determine in which direction price will develop Source: www.tradingview.com III - How did I set the screener The visual signals are as follow: - square: whenever there is an ABCD pattern detected Then the colors are: - green when a bullish pattern is detected - red when a bearish pattern is detected 🔸 The script screenshot shows two red squares matching two ABCD bearish pattern from the above panel. As the chart is showing APPL, I highlighted where the screener mentioned the fruit stock ( APPLE, pun, bad joke, Dave out...) 🔸 I tried to make it as clear as I could with red arrows Once again, we pushed together the limits of pine script beyond of what we thought was possible, beyond the realm of this world, reaching finally the dreamt pine script heaven (am I going too far? feel free to tell me) Best regards, Dave

Acceleration/Deceleration with alerts (Hendo@4C)My variation of the Acceleration/Deceleration by Bill Williams. I found the existing variations of this indicator on TradingView severely lacking in terms of options. Credits go to a close friend who recommended writing this. NOTE: The setting called: "Invert acceleration dots", can make gauging tops and bottoms "earlier" easier. Due to the nature of this indicator and the fact that you can set alerts on deceleration. //Overview of settings// “Plot tops and bottoms” default: True An option to enable plotting shapes when a top or bottom is printed. I use a non conventional way to detect tops and bottoms. This secures false signals. Alerts can be added to this. “Fill background” default: True Fills the background between the A/D and the 0 line. “Source for A/D” default: (high+low)/2 This is the source for calculation of the indicator. Bill Williams himself describes using the “HL2” and this is what the default value is. Potentially once could experiment with “HLC3” (high+low+close)/3. Since this is also a popular way of using this indicator. “Length of F-SMA” default: 5 The length of the fast simple moving average that the indicator uses. Again: The default is 5 but one could experiment with higher/lower values to change the reaction time of the indicator. “Length of S-SMA” default: 34 The lenght of the slow simple moving average that the indicator uses. The default by Bill Williams here is 34. One could experiment with higher values to reduce noise. “Activate less noise mode” default: False Uses a proprietary way of averaging values in price. This creates an entirely new indicator in itself. Can be very useful for trading the lower timeframes. It is however advised to understand that enabling this settings will not make the indicator the “standard A/D // AC” anymore. “Plot alert levels” default: False This setting allows you to plot extra levels at certain values (just like the RSI for example). Keep in mind however that you need to manually adjust the values to fit the instrument you’re trading. Of course you can set alerts to these levels. Be careful enabling this: Since it might pull the chart out of proper scaling. “Value of +Line plot” default: 25” Sets the level of the first “alert level” described earlier. I picked 25 as an example for Bitcoin. Be careful setting these levels: Since it might pull the chart out of proper scaling. “Value of -Line plot” default: -25” Sets the level of the second “alert level” described earlier. I picked -25 as an example for Bitcoin. Be careful setting these levels: Since it might pull the chart out of proper scaling. “Fill background between lines” default: False Enabling this will fill the background between the previously discussed +Line plot and the -Line plot. Again: Much like RSI. “Color background if 0 is crossed” default: True Colors the background of the indicator everytime the 0 line is crossed. Of course alerts can be set up in order to push an alert every time this happens. The default color for this is “Fuchsia”. Because it contrasts well. “Show visual accel/decel” default: True Uses a few simple mathematical functions in order to calculate if the A/D is accelerating or decelerating. If enabled it will plot dots when the A/D is accelerating up or accelerating down: Meaning: When the change is more rapid than the previous change (hence acceleration). "Invert acceleration dots" default: False Changes the previous function mentioned: Let’s say you don’t want to know acceleration but you want to know the the A/D is decelerating (meaning: The change is less rapid than the previous change). You can enable this setting. If you enable this it will plot dots on the A/D when we’re decelerating instead of accelerating. (hence deceleration). "Color entire background of A/D" default: False In case you desire to plot the entire background of the indicator you can enable this setting. Might make it a little bit more easy to spot changes in the A/D (especially when using multiple indicators). That’s all in terms of settings. Most of these settings also describe the use case. The use case as described by TradingView is the following: “The Accelerator Oscillator (AC) is an indicator developed by Bill Williams that helps traders gauge changes in momentum. It is based on the Awesome Oscillator (AO) and measures the difference between that indicator and its 5-period moving average, effectively showing how quickly the AO changes and predicting what it will do next. If the AC is in positive territory, the upward acceleration is likely to continue. If the AC is in negative territory, the downward acceleration is likely to continue. The bars in the histogram have 2 colors: red indicating a fall in price and green indicating a rise in price. Various specific buy and sell signals can be derived from the color of the bars and whether they are above or below the 0-line.” I’ve decided to add any alert I could think of: Meaning there are in total 22 customizable alerts to set up when using this indicator. If you have any conditions that I forgot to add feel free to leave a comment.

Scalping with Bill Williams AlligatorScalping strategy based on Bill Williams Alligator technique but calculated with heikin ashi candles. This strategy has to be applied to standard candles and low time frames (1min to 5min) Thanks to all pinescripters mentined in the code for their snippets. It could be improved with stop loss based on ATR etc. I have also a study with alerts. Please use comment section for any feedback or contact me if you need support.

JackrabbitJackrabbit is a strategic blend of moving averages, multiple RSI, multiple stochastics, Bollinger Bands, and Williams %R. Triangles at the bottom, pointing up, are buy signals. Triangles at the top, pointing down, are sell signals. The numbers 1 through 5 represent the number of indicators that align for each signal. For example, a 3 under a triangle pointing up means that three of the five indicators are yielding a buy signal. User configuration allows for risk mitigation to be turned off or on. Also, the user can select the source for evaluation, default is the closing price. Access to the study is by subscription only. See signature for information on subscribing to Jackrabbit.
