Volumetric Rejection Blocks [UAlgo]The Volumetric Rejection Blocks is designed to help traders identify and visualize key price levels where volumetric rejections occur, which may indicate a shift in market sentiment. These rejections can signal potential trend reversals or areas where price action is likely to face support or resistance. By drawing rejection blocks based on volumetric strength, the indicator allows users to observe where significant buying or selling pressure has been exerted, which can be used as a reference point for future price action.
Also indicator dynamically calculates swing highs and lows, analyzes bullish and bearish strengths based on volume-weighted price movements, and displays rejection blocks on the chart. Each rejection block represents an area where the price attempted to move beyond a certain level but faced rejection, either on a close or wick basis. This can be particularly useful for traders who rely on market structure and order flow to make informed decisions about entering or exiting trades.
🔶 Key Features
Swing Length Customization: Allows users to define the swing length, helping tailor the sensitivity of the swing high and low detection to the specific market conditions.
Rejection Block Visualization: Displays up to the last 10 rejection blocks based on user settings, clearly marking areas of significant bullish or bearish rejections.
Volumetric Strength Analysis: The indicator calculates bullish and bearish strength for each rejection block, based on volume-weighted price movements over the last few bars, giving insight into the intensity of the rejection.
Violation Check Type: Offers two options for violation detection—"Close" and "Wick". This allows traders to specify whether a price level is considered broken only if it closes beyond the level or if any wick breaches it.
Bullish and Bearish Block Coloring: Rejection blocks are colored to represent bullish (green) and bearish (red) rejection areas. The color transparency can be adjusted for clear visibility overlaid on the price chart.
Market Structure Labels: Labels and lines marking "Market Structure Shift" (MSS) and "Break of Structure" (BOS) are displayed, giving traders context about significant market structure changes.
🔶 Interpreting the Indicator
Rejection Blocks: These colored blocks on the chart indicate areas where the price faced significant buying or selling pressure. A green block suggests a bullish rejection (support zone), where buyers absorbed the sell-off, potentially pushing the price upward. Conversely, a red block indicates a bearish rejection (resistance zone), where sellers overpowered buyers, potentially driving the price lower.
Strength Analysis: The width of the green and red sections within a rejection block represents the relative bullish and bearish strengths. A wider green section indicates stronger bullish support, while a wider red section suggests more robust bearish resistance. This helps traders gauge the likelihood of price holding or breaching these levels.
Market Structure Shift (MSS) and Break of Structure (BOS): The indicator automatically detects and labels significant changes in market structure. An "MSS" label indicates the first break, suggesting a potential shift in trend direction. A "BOS" label indicates a subsequent confirmation in trend direction, allowing traders to recognize potential trend continuations.
Violation Check: Traders can choose how to interpret breaks of these rejection blocks. Using the "Close" option provides a more conservative approach, requiring a close beyond the level for confirmation. The "Wick" option is more aggressive, treating any wick beyond the level as a break.

Enhanced Pressure MTF ScreenerEnhanced Pressure Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Screener Indicator
Overview
The Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener is an add-on that extends the capabilities of the Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure, Volume, and Trend Bar Analysis . It provides a clear and consolidated view of buy/sell pressure across multiple timeframes. This indicator allows traders to determine when different timeframes are synchronized in the same trend direction, which is particularly useful for making high-confidence trading decisions.
Image below: is the Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure, Volume, and Trend Bar Analysis with the Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener indicator both active together.
Key Features
1.Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The indicator screens various predefined timeframes (from 1 week down to 10 minutes).
It offers a table view that shows buy or sell ratings for each timeframe, making it easy to see which timeframes are aligned.
Traders can choose which timeframes to include based on their trading strategies (e.g., higher timeframes for position trading, lower timeframes for scalping).
2.Pressure and Trend Calculation
Uses Buy and Sell Pressure calculations from the Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure indicator to determine whether buying or selling is dominant in each timeframe.
By analyzing pressures on multiple timeframes, the indicator gives a comprehensive perspective of the current market sentiment.
The indicator calculates whether a move is strong based on user-defined thresholds, which are displayed in the form of additional signals.
3.Heikin Ashi Option
The Heikin Ashi candle type can be toggled on or off. Using Heikin Ashi helps smooth out market noise and provides a clearer indication of trend direction.
This is particularly helpful for traders who want to filter out market noise and focus on the primary trend.
4.Table Customization
Table Positioning: The table showing timeframe data can be positioned at different locations on the chart—top, middle, or bottom.
Text and Alignment: The alignment and text size of the table can be customized for better visual clarity.
Color Settings: Users can choose specific colors to indicate buying and selling pressure across timeframes, making it easy to interpret.
5.Strong Movement Indicators
The screener provides an additional visual cue (🔥) for timeframes where the movement is deemed strong, based on a user-defined threshold.
This helps highlight timeframes where significant buying or selling pressure is present, which could signal potential trading opportunities.
How the Screener Works
1.Pressure Calculation
For each selected timeframe, the indicator retrieves the Open, High, Low, and Close (OHLC) values.
It calculates buy pressure (the range between high and low when the closing price is higher than the opening) and sell pressure (the range between high and low when the closing price is equal to or lower than the opening).
The screener computes the pressure ratio, which represents the difference between buying and selling pressure, to determine which side is dominant.
2.Trend Rating and Signal Generation
Based on the calculated pressure, the screener determines a trend rating for each timeframe: "Buy," "Sell," or "Neutral." (▲ ,▼ or •)
Additionally, it generates a signal (▲ or ▼) to indicate the current trend direction and whether the move is strong (based on the user-defined threshold).
If the movement is strong, a fire icon (🔥) is added to indicate that there is significant pressure on that timeframe, signaling a higher confidence in the trend.
3.Customizable Strong Move Thresholds
Strong Move Threshold: The screener uses this value to decide whether a trend is significantly strong. A higher value makes it more selective in determining strong moves.
Strong Movement Threshold: Helps determine when an additional strong signal should be displayed, offering further insight into the strength of market movement.
Inputs and Customization
The Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener is highly customizable to fit the needs of individual traders:
General Settings:
Use Heikin Ashi: Toggle this setting to use Heikin Ashi for a smoother trend representation.
Strong Move Threshold: Defines how strong a move should be to be considered significant.
Strong Movement Threshold: Specifies the level of pressure required to highlight a move with the fire icon.
Table Settings:
Position: Choose the vertical position of the screener table (top, middle, or bottom of the chart).
Alignment: Align the table (left, center, or right) to best suit your chart layout.
Text Size: Adjust the text size in the table for better readability.
Table Color Settings:
Users can set different colors to represent buying and selling signals for better visual clarity, particularly when scanning multiple timeframes.
Timeframe Settings:
The screener provides options to include up to ten different timeframes. Traders can select and customize each timeframe to match their strategy.
Examples of available timeframes include 1 Week, 1 Day, 12 Hours, down to 10 Minutes, allowing for both broad and detailed analysis.
Practical Use Case
Identifying Trend Alignment Across Timeframes:
Imagine you are about to take a long trade but want to make sure that the trend direction is aligned across multiple timeframes.
The screener displays "Buy" ratings across the 4H, 1H, 30M, and 10M timeframes, while higher timeframes (like 1W and 1D) also show "Buy" with strong signals (🔥). This indicates that buying pressure is strong across the board, adding confidence to your trade.
Spotting Reversal Opportunities:
If a downtrend is evident across most timeframes but suddenly a higher timeframe, such as 12H, changes to "Buy" while showing a strong move (🔥), this could indicate a potential reversal.
The screener allows you to spot these discrepancies and consider taking early action.
Benefits for Traders
1.Synchronization Across Timeframes:
One of the main strengths of this screener is its ability to show synchronized buy/sell signals across different timeframes. This makes it easy to confirm the strength and consistency of a trend.
For example, if you see that all the selected timeframes display "Buy," this implies that both short-term and long-term traders are favoring the upside, giving additional confidence to go long.
2.Quick and Visual Trend Overview:
The table offers an at-a-glance summary, reducing the time required to manually inspect each timeframe.
This makes it particularly useful for traders who want to make quick decisions, such as day traders or scalpers.
3.Strong Move Indicator:
The use of fire icons (🔥) provides an easy way to identify significant movements. This is particularly helpful for traders looking for breakouts or strong market conditions that could lead to high probability trades.
To put it short or to summarize
The Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener is a powerful add-on for traders looking to understand how buy and sell pressure aligns across multiple timeframes. It offers:
A clear summary of buying or selling pressure across different timeframes.
Heikin Ashi smoothing, providing an option to reduce market noise.
Strong movement signals to highlight significant trading opportunities.
Customizable settings to fit any trading strategy or style.
The screener and the main indicator are best used together, as the screener provides the multi-timeframe overview, while the main indicator provides an in-depth look at each individual bar and trend.
I hope my indicator helps with your trading, if you guys have any ideas or questions there is the comment section :D
Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure, Volume, and Trend Bar analysisEnhanced Buy/Sell Pressure, Volume, and Trend Bar Analysis Indicator
Overview
This indicator is designed to help traders identify buy and sell pressure, volume changes, and overall trend direction in the market. It combines multiple concepts like price action, volume, and trend analysis, candlestick anaysis to provide a comprehensive view of market dynamics. The visual elements are intuitive, making it suitable for traders at different levels. This indicator works together with Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener which is a screener based of this indicator to make it easier to see Bullish/Bearish pressures and trend across multiple timeframes.
Image below: is the Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure, Volume, and Trend Bar Analysis with the Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener indicator both active together.
Key Features
1.Buy/Sell Pressure Identification
Buy Pressure: Calculated based on price movement where the close price is higher than the opening price.
Sell Pressure: Calculated when the closing price is equal to or lower than the opening price.These pressures help you understand whether buyers or sellers are more dominant for each bar.
2.Volume Analysis
Normalized Volume: Volume data is normalized, making it easier to compare volume levels over different periods.
Volume Histogram: The volume is also presented as a histogram for easy visualization, showing whether the current volume is higher or lower compared to the average.
3.Simplified Coloring Option
You can choose to simplify the coloring of bars to reflect the dominant pressure: green for bullish pressure and red for bearish pressure. This makes it visually easier to identify who is in control. When simplified coloring is disabled, the bars' colors will represent the combined effect of buy and sell pressure.
4.Heikin-Ashi Candles for Pressure Calculation
The indicator includes an option to use Heikin-Ashi candles instead of traditional candles to calculate buy and sell pressure. Heikin-Ashi candles are known for smoothing out price action and providing a clearer trend representation.
5.Trend Background Coloring
This feature uses exponential moving averages (EMAs) to determine the trend:
Short-Term EMA vs. Long-Term EMA: When the short-term EMA is above the long-term EMA, the trend is considered bullish, and vice versa.
The background color changes based on the identified trend: green for an uptrend and red for a downtrend. This feature helps visualize the overall market direction at a glance.
6.Signals for Key Price Actions
The indicator plots various symbols to signal important price movements:
Bullish Close (▲): Indicates a strong upward movement where the close price crosses above the open.
Bearish Close (▼): Indicates a downward movement where the close price falls below the open.
Higher High (•): Highlights new highs compared to previous bars, useful for confirming an uptrend.
Lower Low (•): Highlights lower lows compared to previous bars, which can indicate a downtrend or bearish pressure.
Calculations Explained
1.Buy and Sell Pressure Calculation
The buy pressure is determined by the price range (high - low) if the closing price is above the opening price, indicating an increase in value.
The sell pressure is similarly calculated when the closing price is equal to or below the opening price.
The indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) for normalization. Normalizing helps you compare pressure across different periods, regardless of market volatility.
2.Volume Normalization
Volume Normalization: To make volume comparable across different periods, the indicator normalizes it using the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of volume over a user-defined length.
Volume Histogram: The histogram provides a clear representation of volume changes compared to the average, making it easier to spot unusual activity that may indicate market shifts.
3.Combined Pressure Calculation
The indicator calculates a combined pressure value by subtracting sell pressure from buy pressure.
When combined pressure is positive, buying is dominant, and when negative, selling is dominant. This helps in visually understanding the ongoing momentum.
4.Trend Calculation
The indicator uses two EMAs to determine the trend:
Short-Term EMA (default 14-period) to capture recent price movements.
Long-Term EMA (default 50-period) to provide a broader trend perspective.
By comparing these EMAs on a higher timeframe, the indicator can identify whether the trend is up or down, making it easier for traders to align their trades with the larger market movement.
Inputs and Customization
The indicator provides several options for customization, allowing you to adjust it to your preferences:
SMA Length: Determines the lookback period for moving averages and volume normalization. A longer length provides more smoothing, whereas a shorter length makes the indicator more responsive.
Buy/Sell/Volume Colors: Customize the colors used to represent buying, selling, and volume to suit your preferences.
Heikin Ashi Option: Toggle between using Heikin Ashi or traditional OHLC (Open-High-Low-Close) candles for pressure calculations.
Trend Timeframe and EMA Periods: You can choose different timeframes and EMA periods for trend analysis to suit your trading strategy.
How to Use This Indicator
Identifying Market Momentum: Use the buy/sell pressure columns to see which side (buyers or sellers) is in control. Positive pressure combined with green color indicates strong buying, while red indicates selling.
Volume Confirmation: Check the volume area plot and histogram. High volume coupled with strong pressure is a sign of conviction, meaning the current move has backing from market participants.
Trend Identification: The trend background color helps identify the overall trend direction. Trade in the direction of the trend (e.g., take long positions during a green background).
Signal Indicators: The plotted symbols like "Bullish Close" and "Bearish Close" provide visual signals of key price actions, useful for timing entry or exit points.
Practical use Example
Scenario: The market is consolidating, and you see alternating green and red bars.
Action: Wait for a consistent sequence of green bars (buy pressure) along with a green background (uptrend) to consider going long, although you can go long without having a green background, the background adds confirmation layer.
Scenario: The market has several bearish closes (red ▼ symbols) accompanied by increasing volume.
Action: This could indicate strong selling pressure. If the background also turns red, it might be a good time to exit long positions or consider shorting.
Higher timeframe pressure and volume: Another way to use the indicator is to check buy/sell volume and pressure of the higher timeframe say weekly or daily or any timeframe you consider higher, once you’ve identified or feel confident in which direction the bar is going along with the full picture of trend, you can go to the lower timeframe and wait for it to sync with the higher timeframe to consider a long or a short. It is also easier to see when markets sync up by also applying the Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener which works in companion to this indicator.
Visual Cues and Interpretation
Combined Pressure Plot: The green and red column plot at the bottom of the chart represents the dominance between buying and selling. Tall green bars signify strong buying, while tall red bars indicate selling dominance.
Trend Background: Helps visualize the overall direction without manually drawing trend lines. When the background turns green, it generally indicates that the shorter-term moving average has crossed above the longer-term average—a sign of a bullish trend.
To Summarize shortly
The Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure, Volume, and Trend Bar Analysis Indicator is an advanced but simple tool designed to help traders visually understand market dynamics. It combines different aspects of market analysis of candle pressure from buyers and sellers, volume confirmation, and trend identification into a single view, which can assist both new and experienced traders in making informed trading decisions.

This indicator provides a comprehensive suite of price action insights, designed for active traders looking to identify key market structures and potential reversals. The script incorporates a Quarterly VWAP for trend bias, marks pin bars for possible reversal points, highlights outside bars for volatility signals, and indicates simple breakouts and pivot-level breaks. Customizable settings allow for flexibility in various trading styles, with default settings optimized for daily charts.
Outside Bars : Represented by an ⤬ symbol on the chart, these indicate bars where the current high is greater than the previous bar’s high, and the low is lower than the previous bar’s low, signaling high volatility and potential market reversals.
Pin Bars : Denoted by a small dot at the top or bottom of a candle’s wick, these are crucial signals of potential reversal areas. Pin bars are identified based on the percentage length of their shadows, with adjustable strictness in settings.
Quarterly VWAP : The light blue line on the chart represents the VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price), which is anchored to the Quarterly period by default. The VWAP acts as a directional bias filter, helping you to determine underlying market trends. This period, source, and offset are fully adjustable in the script’s settings.
Simple Breaks : Hollow candles on the chart indicate "simple breaks," defined when the current bar closes above the previous high or below the previous low. This is an effective way to highlight directional momentum in the market.
Bonus Pivot Breaks : The tilde symbol ~ appears when the price closes above or below prior pivot high/low levels, helping traders spot significant breakout or breakdown points relative to recent pivots.
Alerts
Simple Breaks : Alerts you when a breakout occurs beyond the previous bar’s high or low. Pin Bars : Notifies you of potential reversal points as indicated by bullish or bearish pin bars. Outside Bars : Triggers an alert whenever an outside bar is detected, indicating possible volatility changes.
How to Use
VWAP for Trend Bias : Use the Quarterly VWAP line to gauge overall market trend, with settings that allow adjustment to daily, weekly, monthly, or even larger time frames.
Pin Bars for Reversal Potential : Look for the dot markers on candle wicks, where the strictness of the pin bar detection can be adjusted via settings to match your trading preference.
Simple and Pivot Breaks for Momentum : Watch for hollow candles and the tilde symbol ~ as indicators of potential breakout momentum and pivot break levels, respectively.
This script can serve traders on multiple timeframes, from daily to weekly and beyond. The flexible configuration allows for adjustments in VWAP anchoring and pin bar criteria, providing a tailored fit for individual trading strategies.
Engulfing Pattern & Impulse [UAlgo]The Engulfing Pattern & Impulse is a tool designed for technical traders who utilize price action and volume analysis to assess market trends and potential reversals. This indicator identifies two powerful trading signals: Engulfing Patterns and Volume Impulses, which are essential components for evaluating potential bullish or bearish market momentum.
Engulfing Patterns are classic candlestick formations often associated with reversals or trend continuations, depending on the overall trend context. This indicator highlights both bullish and bearish engulfing patterns based on configurable criteria such as trend detection settings, comparison with average body size, and a customizable body multiplier for validation. The Volume Impulse feature signals moments of significant volume compared to historical levels, which often precede substantial price movements. Together, these features provide traders with a versatile tool for better timing entry and exit points.
The indicator also offers an adaptive trend detection system, allowing traders to choose from multiple methods (e.g., SMA50 or SMA50/SMA200 combinations) to assess the trend context, making it ideal for various market conditions.
🔶Key Features
Engulfing Pattern Detection: Identifies bullish and bearish engulfing patterns with customizable parameters, including body length and average size comparison.
Configurable trend basis: Choose between SMA50 or SMA50 with SMA200 to define trend direction.
Body size multiplier: Adjust the size threshold for valid engulfing patterns, providing flexibility based on market conditions.
Volume Impulse Signal: Highlights volume spikes that meet or exceed a specified multiplier, which can indicate increased buying or selling interest.
Customizable volume period and multiplier: Allows you to tailor the volume impulse detection based on the instrument’s average volume behavior.
Trend Detection Options: Select different trend detection methods to suit various trading styles and instruments.
SMA50-based detection: Classifies the trend based on the position of price relative to the 50-period SMA.
SMA50 and SMA200 combination: Incorporates a dual-moving average approach, classifying trends based on the relationship between price, SMA50, and SMA200.
Enhanced Visualization: Distinguishes bullish and bearish signals with customizable colors, providing clear and immediate visual cues for easy interpretation.
Custom label colors: Allows you to set distinct colors for bullish, bearish, and neutral signals for quick identification.
Pattern filtering: Enable or disable specific patterns (Bullish, Bearish, or Both) based on your trading preferences.
🔶 Interpreting Indicator
Bullish Engulfing Pattern: Indicates a potential bullish reversal in a downtrend. This signal occurs when a white candlestick with a body size exceeding a specified multiplier completely engulfs the previous black candlestick. The pattern will display a “BE” label below the candle if it meets the criteria, signaling potential upward momentum.
Bearish Engulfing Pattern: Indicates a potential bearish reversal in an uptrend. A black candlestick with a body size exceeding the specified multiplier fully engulfs the previous white candlestick, signaling possible downward movement. The “BE” label appears above the candle to denote this pattern.
Volume Impulse Up: Displays a “VI” label below the candle when the volume surpasses the defined multiplier, and the price closes higher than it opened, indicating strong upward buying interest.
Volume Impulse Down: Displays a “VI” label above the candle when the volume meets or exceeds the specified threshold, and the price closes lower than it opened, signaling strong selling pressure.
Indicator uses the SMA50 and SMA200 to determine trend direction due to their popularity in technical analysis as indicators of medium- and long-term trends. The SMA50 reflects the average price over the past 50 periods, providing insight into intermediate trends, while the SMA200 is often used to identify the broader trend direction. These SMAs help traders quickly assess whether the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or consolidation phase, enhancing decision-making for both short-term and long-term strategies.

Inside Bar with Swing PointsSwing Points with Inside Bar
This script combines swing point analysis with an inside bar pattern visualization, merging essential concepts to identify and visualize key price levels and potential trend reversals. This is especially useful for traders looking to understand price action through swing levels and reactions within inside bar boundaries, making it effective for short-term trend analysis and reversal zone identification.
Script Features:
Swing Point Analysis:
The script identifies swing points based on fractals with a configurable number of bars, allowing for a choice between three and five bars, helping traders fine-tune sensitivity to price movements.
Swing points are visualized as labels, highlighting potential reversal or continuation zones in the price chart.
Inside Bar Visualization:
Inside bars are defined as bars where both the high and low are contained within the previous bar. These often signal consolidation before a potential breakout.
The script displays boundaries of the mother bar (the initial bar encompassing inside bars) and colors candles accordingly, highlighting those within these boundaries.
This feature helps traders focus on price areas where a breakout or trend shift may occur.
Utility and Application:
The script enables traders to visualize inside bars and swing points, which is particularly useful for short-term traders focused on reversal or trend continuation strategies.
Combining swing point analysis with inside bar identification offers a unique approach, helping traders locate key consolidation zones that may precede significant price moves.
This provides not only strong support and resistance levels but also insights into probable breakout points.
How to Use the Script:
Set the number of bars for swing point analysis (3 or 5) to adjust fractal sensitivity.
Enable mother bar boundary visualization and color indication for inside bars to easily spot consolidation patterns.
Pay attention to areas with multiple swing points and inside bars, as these often signal potential reversal or breakout zones.
This script offers flexible tools for analyzing price movements through both swing analysis and consolidation zone identification, aiding decision-making under uncertainty and enhancing market structure understanding.
Equilibrium Candles + Pattern [Honestcowboy]The Equilibrium Candles is a very simple trend continuation or reversal strategy depending on your settings.
How an Equilibrium Candle is created:
We calculate the equilibrium by measuring the mid point between highest and lowest point over X amount of bars back.
This now is the opening price for each bar and will be considered a green bar if price closes above equilibrium.
Bars get shaded by checking if regular candle close is higher than open etc. So you still see what the normal candles are doing.
Why are they useful?
The equilibrium is calculated the same as Baseline in Ichimoku Cloud. Which provides a point where price is very likely to retrace to. This script visualises the distance between close and equilibrium using candles. To provide a clear visual of how price relates to this equilibrium point.
This also makes it more straightforward to develop strategies based on this simple concept and makes the trader purely focus on this relationship and not think of any Ichimoku Cloud theories.
Script uses a very simple pattern to enter trades:
It will count how many candles have been one directional (above or below equilibrium)
Based on user input after X candles (7 by default) script shows we are in a trend (bg colors)
On the first pullback (candle closes on other side of equilibrium) it will look to enter a trade.
Places a stop order at the high of the candle if bullish trend or reverse if bearish trend.
If based on user input after X opposite candles (2 by default) order is not filled will cancel it and look for a new trend.
Use Reverse Logic:
There is a use reverse logic in the settings which on default is turned on. It will turn long orders into short orders making the stop orders become limit orders. It will use the normal long SL as target for the short. And TP as stop for the short. This to provide a means to reverse equity curve in case your pair is mean reverting by nature instead of trending.
ATR Calculation:
Averaged ATR, which is using ta.percentile_nearest_rank of 60% of a normal ATR (14 period) over the last 200 bars. This in simple words finds a value slightly above the mean ATR value over that period.
Big Candle Exit Logic:
Using Averaged ATR the script will check if a candle closes X times that ATR from the equilibrium point. This is then considered an overextension and all trades are closed.
This is also based on user input.
Simple trade management logic:
Checks if the user has selected to use TP and SL, or/and big candle exit.
Places a TP and SL based on averaged ATR at a multiplier based on user Input.
Closes trade if there is a Big Candle Exit or an opposite direction signal from indicator.
Script can be fully automated to MT5
There are risk settings in % and symbol settings provided at the bottom of the indicator. The script will send alert to MT5 broker trying to mimic the execution that happens on tradingview. There are always delays when using a bridge to MT5 broker and there could be errors so be mindful of that. This script sends alerts in format so they can be read by tradingview.to which is a bridge between the platforms.
Use the all alert function calls feature when setting up alerts and make sure you provide the right webhook if you want to use this approach.
There is also a simple buy and sell alert feature if you don't want to fully automate but still get alerts. These are available in the dropdown when creating an alert.
Almost every setting in this indicator has a tooltip added to it. So if any setting is not clear hover over the (?) icon on the right of the setting.
The backtest uses a 4% exposure per trade and a 10 point slippage. I did not include a commission cause I'm not personaly aware what the commissions are on most forex brokers. I'm only aware of minimal slippage to use in a backtest. Trading conditions vary per broker you use so always pay close attention to trading costs on your own broker. Use a full automation at your own risk and discretion and do proper backtesting.
Price Action StrategyThe **Price Action Strategy** is a tool designed to capture potential market reversals by utilizing classic reversal candlestick patterns such as Hammer, Shooting Star, Doji, and Pin Bar near dinamic support and resistance levels.
***Note to moderators
- The moving average was removed from the strategy because it was not suitable for the strategy and not participating in the entry or exit criteria.
- The moving average length has been replaced/renamed by the support/resistance lenght.
- The bullish engulfing and bearish engulfing patterns were also removed because in practice they were not working as entry criteria, since the candle price invariably closes far from the support/resistance level even considering the sensitivity range. There was no change in the backtest results after removing these patterns.
### Key Elements of the Strategy
1. Support and Resistance Levels
- Support and resistance are pivotal price levels where the asset has previously struggled to move lower (support) or higher (resistance). These levels act as psychological barriers where buying interest (at support) or selling interest (at resistance) often increases, potentially causing price reversals.
- In this strategy, support is calculated as the lowest low and resistance as the highest high over a 16-period length. When the price nears these levels, it indicates possible zones for a reversal, and the strategy looks for specific candlestick patterns to confirm an entry.
2. Candlestick Patterns
- This strategy uses classic reversal patterns, including:
- **Hammer**: Indicates a buy signal, suggesting rejection of lower prices.
- **Shooting Star**: Suggests a sell signal, showing rejection of higher prices.
- **Doji**: Reflects indecision and potential reversal.
- **Pin Bar**: Represents price rejection with a long shadow, often signaling a reversal.
By combining these reversal patterns with the proximity to dinamic support or resistance levels, the strategy aims to capture potential reversal movements.
3. Sensitivity Level
- The sensitivity parameter adjusts the acceptable range (Default 0.018 = 1.8%) around support and resistance levels within which reversal patterns can trigger trades (i.e. the closing price of the candle must occur within the specified range defined by the sensitivity parameter). A higher sensitivity value expands this range, potentially leading to less accurate signals, as it may allow for more false positives.
4. Entry Criteria
- **Buy (Long)**: A Hammer, Doji, or Pin Bar pattern near support.
- **Sell (Short)**: A Shooting Star, Doji, or Pin Bar near resistance.
5. Exit criteria
- Take profit = 9.5%
- Stop loss = 16%
6. No Repainting
- The Price Action Strategy is not subject to repainting.
7. Position Sizing by Equity and risk management
- This strategy has a default configuration to operate with 35% of the equity. The stop loss is set to 16% from the entry price. This way, the strategy is putting at risk about 16% of 35% of equity, that is, around 5.6% of equity for each trade. The percentage of equity and stop loss can be adjusted by the user according to their risk management.
8. Backtest results
- This strategy was subjected to deep backtest and operations in replay mode on **1000000MOGUSDT.P**, with the inclusion of transaction fees at 0.12% and slipagge of 5 ticks, and the past results have shown consistent profitability. Past results are no guarantee of future results. The strategy's backtest results may even be due to overfitting with past data.

FuTech V-Spike & V-HighlighterFuTech V-Spike & V-Highlighter
In the context of trading and technical analysis, this volume spike & volume highlighter indicator is the perfect indicator used to assess market activity and make informed trading decisions.
Let's Understand in brief as below :
1) Volume Spike :
A volume spike refers to a sudden, significant increase in trading volume compared to the average volume over a specific period.
This spike can indicate heightened interest in a particular security, often preceding price movements.
Traders may look for volume spikes as signals for potential buy or sell opportunities because they can suggest that a stock is experiencing increased activity, possibly due to news, earnings releases, or other catalysts.
Characteristics of a Volume Spike:
Assess the sudden increase in trading volume.
It Can occur in both upward and downward price movements.
Often compared to the average volume over a defined period (e.g., the last 20 days).
2) Volume Highlighter:
A volume highlighter emphasizes significant changes in trading volume on a price chart. This indicator typically uses color coding to highlight periods of high volume, making it easier for traders to identify volume spikes at a glance.
How this indicator works:
a) Volume Spike will calculate the highest volume spike as per the user defined threshold multiplier. (Multiplier = when volume exceeds a certain threshold)
b) The threshold Multiplier can be set based on a fixed number or as a multiple of the Exponential Moving Average volume. Volume Spike Multiplier default is 1.5, means the EMA volume should cross 1.5 times the user defined lookback period
c) The result is derived from the user defined lookback candles by using its EMA instead of SMA, which will give us more precise results.
d) By default, last 10 candles EMA average is used to calculate the Volume Spike but you can choose your lookback period as many days, weeks, months, years of your choice !
e) In Volume Spike -
- Green candle will show Yellow color Bar as Bullish sentiments, whereas
- Red candle will show Black Bar as Bearish sentiments.
f) Volume Highlighter will highlight the candles background if the highest volume is crossing as per the the user defined lookback period
g) Default Lookback period is 20, Color coding (e.g., Blue for bullish spikes, Red for bearish spikes) helps traders quickly assess the volume context.
h) Volume Highlighter plotting shapes and positions can be modified
Illustration:
From the Above pic,
If last Volume Spike is 10 lookback candles, Spike multiplier is 1.5 and Highlighter lookback candles is 20,
Then yellow candle means the spike in volume which is 1.5 times higher than the last 10 candles
Highlighting color defines the highest volumes trading from the last 20 candles which is either Blue (Bullish) or Red (Bearish) sentiments
Conclusion :
Using FuTech V-Spike & V-Highlighter indicator - will help traders identify potential trading opportunities and better understand market dynamics.
By analyzing volume in conjunction with price movements, traders can make more informed decisions based on market sentiment.

SMT Divergences [OutOfOptions]Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence is designed to identify discrepancies between correlated assets within the same timeframe. It occurs when two related assets exhibit opposing signals, such as one forming a higher low while the other forms a lower low. This technique is particularly useful for anticipating market shifts or reversals before they become evident through other Premium Discount (PD) Arrays.
This indicator works by identifying the highs and lows that have formed for an asset on the current chart and the correlated symbol defined in the settings. Once a pivot on either asset is formed, it checks if the pivot has taken liquidity as identified by the previous pivot in the same direction (i.e., a new high taking out a previous high). If this is the case and the corresponding asset has not taken a similar pivot, the condition is determined to be a potential valid divergence. The indicator will then filter out SMTs formed by adjacent candles, requiring at least one candle difference between the candles forming the SMT.
If the “Candle Direction Validation” setting is enabled, the indicator will further check both assets to ensure that for bullish SMTs, the last high on both assets was formed by down candle, and for bearish SMTs, the low was formed by an up candle. This check can often eliminate low-probability SMTs that are frequently broken.
The referenced chart shows divergence between Nasdaq (NQ) and S&P 500 (ES) futures, which are normally closely correlated assets that move in the same direction. The lines shown represent bullish and bearish divergences between the two when they are formed. As you can see from the chart, SMT Divergences may not always indicate a reversal, or a reversal might be just a short-term retrace. Therefore, SMT Divergences should not be used independently. However, in conjunction with other PD arrays, they can provide strong confirmation of a change in market direction.
Configurability:
Pivot strength - Indicates how many bars to the left/right of a high for pivot to be considered, recommended to keep at 1 for maximum detection speed
Candle Direction Validation - Additional SMT validation to filter out weak/low-probability SMTs be examining candle direction
Line Styling for Bullish/Bearish SMTs - Ability to customize line style, color & width for bullish/bearish SMTs
Label Control - Whether or not to show SMT label and if shown what font size & color should be used
What makes this indicator different:
Unlike other SMT indicators, this indicators has additional built-in controls to remove low-probability SMTs
Time Based 3 Candle Model CRT FrameworkThe 3 Candle Model Overview:
The 3 Candle Model serves as a sophisticated framework for traders to navigate the complexities of financial markets, particularly within futures and forex trading. This guide not only elaborates on the model's key features but also emphasizes its originality and practical usefulness in the TradingView community. The core principle of the 3 Candle Model revolves around understanding how candle patterns can represent significant price ranges, offering valuable insights into potential market movements. By integrating the model with other critical trading concepts such as the Power of Three (PO3), Open-High-Low-Close (OHLC), and Turtle Soup setups, traders can enhance their ability to identify high-probability trades and achieve better trading outcomes.
Indicator includes:
3 Customizable Timeframe choices to fractally frame 3 candle models for precision
Live Timers for each timeframe to always be aware of the models timing
Parent Candle tracking on every preffered timeframe until new models parent candle is printed
Key Features of the 3 Candle Model
The 3 Candle Model primarily utilizes a three-candle structure, where the first candle establishes a price range, the second candle may act as a confirmation (often termed a "turtle soup"), and the third candle provides the breakout or continuation. This structure is pivotal in determining entry and exit points for trades, ensuring that each trading decision is backed by solid price action analysis.
OHLC Principle:
The Open-High-Low-Close (OHLC) concept is integral to the 3 Candle Model, allowing traders to analyze price action more effectively. Understanding the relationship between these four price points helps traders gauge market sentiment and potential reversals. By incorporating OHLC into the model, traders can develop a deeper understanding of market structure and its implications for future price movements.
Delivery States:
The 3 Candle Model emphasizes the importance of delivery states, which refer to the market's phase during specific time frames. Recognizing these states aids traders in determining the appropriate conditions for entering trades, particularly when combined with the power of three and candle range patterns. This understanding is crucial for positioning trades in alignment with market momentum.
High Probability Setups:
By aligning the 3 Candle Model with inside bar setups, traders can optimize their strategies for high-probability outcomes. This approach capitalizes on the inherent fractal nature of price movements, where previous patterns repeat at different scales. The combination of the model and inside bar setups enhances the trader's toolkit, allowing for more strategic trade placements.
Turtle Soup Formation:
The 3 Candle Model intricately connects with the Turtle Soup concept, which focuses on false breakouts. Identifying these formations at critical levels enhances the trader's ability to anticipate reversals or continuation patterns. The timing of these setups, particularly during specified times like 3:00 AM, 6:00 AM, 9:00 AM, and 1:00 PM, is crucial for maximizing trade success.
Using the 3 Candle Model in Trading
Integration with PO3:
The Power of Three (PO3) is a fundamental aspect of the 3 Candle Model that emphasizes the significance of three distinct stages of price delivery. Traders can leverage this principle by observing the initial range, confirming patterns, and executing trades during the third phase, leading to higher risk-to-reward ratios. This three-stage approach enhances a trader's ability to make informed decisions based on market behavior.
Targeting Midpoints:
Successful application of the 3 Candle Model involves targeting the midpoints of identified ranges. This practice not only provides strategic entry points but also enhances the probability of reaching desired profit levels. By targeting these midpoints, traders can refine their exit strategies and manage risk more effectively.
Aligning with Market Timing:
Timing is everything in trading. By synchronizing the 3 Candle Model setups with the aforementioned key timeframes, traders can better position themselves to exploit market dynamics. This alignment also facilitates the identification of high-quality trades that exhibit strong potential for profitability.
Prioritizing A+ Setups:
By focusing on the 3 Candle Model and its associated concepts, traders can prioritize A+ setups that exhibit a strong alignment of factors. This methodical approach enhances the quality of trades taken, leading to improved overall performance. By cultivating a strategy centered on high-probability setups, traders can maximize their return on investment.

First 5-Minute ORB Levels with Hour Offset### Indicator Overview: First 5-Minute ORB Levels with Hour Offset
This indicator is designed for traders who want to track the high and low of the first 5-minute candle of a trading session, specifically starting at 9:30 am EST (New York time) by default. The lines representing these levels, known as the "Opening Range Breakout" (ORB) levels, are extended across the trading session until the market close at 4:00 pm EST. The indicator provides the following features:
1. **Real-Time Updates**:
- As the first 5-minute candle of the session forms (from 9:30 am to 9:35 am EST), the indicator dynamically updates the high and low lines.
- After the candle completes, the lines are locked in place and extend horizontally across the chart until market close.
2. **Customizable Hour Offset**:
- Users can adjust the start time of the session by specifying an hour offset. This feature is particularly useful for traders operating in different time zones or those who want to analyze custom session times.
- For example, if you trade in a time zone where the session starts at 8:30 am local time instead of 9:30 am EST, you can set the hour offset to `-1` to adjust the start time accordingly.
3. **Visual Labels**:
- The indicator places labels at the end of the lines, clearly marking the "5m ORB High" and "5m ORB Low" levels. These labels are updated in real-time as the first 5-minute candle forms and are fixed in place once the candle closes.
### How to Adjust the Settings:
1. **Hour Offset**:
- **Description**: The hour offset allows you to shift the start time of the session. The default start time is 9:30 am EST, but you can change this using the hour offset.
- **How to Adjust**:
- Open the indicator settings.
- Locate the "Hour Offset" field.
- Enter a positive or negative integer value to shift the session start time.
- **Example**:
- `0` (default): Start at 9:30 am EST.
- `-1`: Start at 8:30 am EST.
- `+1`: Start at 10:30 am EST.
- The indicator will then track the first 5-minute candle starting at the adjusted time and plot the high and low accordingly.
2. **Line and Label Appearance**:
- The lines representing the ORB levels are green by default, and the labels are also green with white text for clear visibility on the chart. The labels are positioned to the right of the lines to avoid cluttering the chart.
### Use Cases:
- **Opening Range Breakout Strategy**: Traders often use the ORB strategy to identify potential breakout points during the trading day. By marking the high and low of the first 5-minute candle, this indicator helps traders quickly identify key levels where price might break out or reverse.
- **Custom Session Analysis**: If you trade in a different time zone or need to analyze a different session (e.g., pre-market or after-hours), the hour offset feature allows you to adapt the indicator to your needs.
This indicator is particularly valuable for intraday traders who rely on the initial volatility of the trading session to make informed decisions.
Multi-Asset Cross Timeframe Divergence Ind. (MACDI) // AlgoFyreThe Multi-Asset Cross Timeframe Divergence Indicator (MACDI) identifies divergences in momentum like RSI across multiple assets and timeframes. It visually highlights lagging correlated asset momentum divergences, helping traders spot inefficiencies and potential trade opportunities in the following asset.
🔶 KEY FEATURES
🔸Average Momentum Trendline for Each Timeframe
The Average Momentum Trendline feature calculates the average momentum of multiple assets over specified timeframes. It uses smoothed values to determine the momentum trend for each timeframe on the average aggregated momentum of both assets. This trendline helps traders identify the overall direction of the market momentum, providing a clearer picture of potential price movements.
🔸Real-time Divergence Indication and Alert Table
The Real-time Divergence Indications and Alert Table feature visualizes detected divergences between the momentum values of the two assets across different timeframes. It identifies both bullish and bearish divergences, signaling lagging reversals in the the following asset and potential trading opportunities. When a divergence is detected, the system generates real-time visual indications on the chart and in an overview table for traders to act promptly. The alert table provides a comprehensive overview of all detected divergences, making it easier for traders to monitor and respond to market changes.
🔸Color and Size Based Labels on Price Chart based on Divergence Type
The Color and Size Based Labels feature visually represents divergences directly on the price chart. Bullish and bearish divergences are marked with distinct colors and sizes, making them easily identifiable at a glance. Larger labels indicate higher timeframes and thus generally more significance.
🔶 INSTRUCTION GUIDELINES
🔸Identify Divergence Clusters
The more divergences align, the higher the probability of a potential trend reversal in the asset. When multiple multi-timeframe divergences occur in both lower and higher timeframes within a local cluster, the probability of a reversal increases. This is valid for both for bullish and bearish divergences.
🔸Spot Low Probability Divergences
To further increase the probability, analyze the current state of the average momentum trendline. For a bullish reversal, a relatively low level of the average momentum trendline is preferred, whereas for a bearish reversal, a relatively high level is preferred.
