Bullish Reversal Bar Strategy [Skyrexio]Overview
Bullish Reversal Bar Strategy leverages the combination of candlestick pattern Bullish Reversal Bar (description in Methodology and Justification of Methodology), Williams Alligator indicator and Williams Fractals to create the high probability setups. Candlestick pattern is used for the entering into trade, while the combination of Williams Alligator and Fractals is used for the trend approximation as close condition. Strategy uses only long trades.
Unique Features
No fixed stop-loss and take profit: Instead of fixed stop-loss level strategy utilizes technical condition obtained by Fractals and Alligator or the candlestick pattern invalidation to identify when current uptrend is likely to be over (more information in "Methodology" and "Justification of Methodology" paragraphs)
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Trend Trade Filter: strategy uses Alligator and Fractal combination as high probability trend filter.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
1.Current candle's high shall be below the Williams Alligator's lines (Jaw, Lips, Teeth)(all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph)
2.Price shall create the candlestick pattern "Bullish Reversal Bar". Optionally if MFI and AO filters are enabled current candle shall have the decreasing AO and at least one of three recent bars shall have the squat state on the MFI (all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph)
3.If price breaks through the high of the candle marked as the "Bullish Reversal Bar" the long trade is open at the price one tick above the candle's high
4.Initial stop loss is placed at the Bullish Reversal Bar's candle's low
5.If price hit the Bullish Reversal Bar's low before hitting the entry price potential trade is cancelled
6.If trade is active and initial stop loss has not been hit, trade is closed when the combination of Alligator and Williams Fractals shall consider current trend change from upward to downward.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window user can setup strategy setting:
Enable MFI (if true trades are filtered using Market Facilitation Index (MFI) condition all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph), by default = false)
Enable AO (if true trades are filtered using Awesome Oscillator (AO) condition all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph), by default = false)
Justification of Methodology
Let's explore the key concepts of this strategy and understand how they work together. The first and key concept is the Bullish Reversal Bar candlestick pattern. This is just the single bar pattern. The rules are simple:
Candle shall be closed in it's upper half
High of this candle shall be below all three Alligator's lines (Jaw, Lips, Teeth)
Next, let’s discuss the short-term trend filter, which combines the Williams Alligator and Williams Fractals. Williams Alligator
Developed by Bill Williams, the Alligator is a technical indicator that identifies trends and potential market reversals. It consists of three smoothed moving averages:
Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest of the three, based on a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars ahead.
Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, derived from an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward.
Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, calculated using a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward.
When the lines diverge and align in order, the "Alligator" is "awake," signaling a strong trend. When the lines overlap or intertwine, the "Alligator" is "asleep," indicating a range-bound or sideways market. This indicator helps traders determine when to enter or avoid trades.
Fractals, another tool by Bill Williams, help identify potential reversal points on a price chart. A fractal forms over at least five consecutive bars, with the middle bar showing either:
Up Fractal: Occurs when the middle bar has a higher high than the two preceding and two following bars, suggesting a potential downward reversal.
Down Fractal: Happens when the middle bar shows a lower low than the surrounding two bars, hinting at a possible upward reversal.
Traders often use fractals alongside other indicators to confirm trends or reversals, enhancing decision-making accuracy.
How do these tools work together in this strategy? Let’s consider an example of an uptrend.
When the price breaks above an up fractal, it signals a potential bullish trend. This occurs because the up fractal represents a shift in market behavior, where a temporary high was formed due to selling pressure. If the price revisits this level and breaks through, it suggests the market sentiment has turned bullish.
The breakout must occur above the Alligator’s teeth line to confirm the trend. A breakout below the teeth is considered invalid, and the downtrend might still persist. Conversely, in a downtrend, the same logic applies with down fractals.
How we can use all these indicators in this strategy? This strategy is a counter trend one. Candle's high shall be below all Alligator's lines. During this market stage the bullish reversal bar candlestick pattern shall be printed. This bar during the downtrend is a high probability setup for the potential reversal to the upside: bulls were able to close the price in the upper half of a candle. The breaking of its high is a high probability signal that trend change is confirmed and script opens long trade. If market continues going down and break down the bullish reversal bar's low potential trend change has been invalidated and strategy close long trade.
If market really reversed and started moving to the upside strategy waits for the trend change form the downtrend to the uptrend according to approximation of Alligator and Fractals combination. If this change happens strategy close the trade. This approach helps to stay in the long trade while the uptrend continuation is likely and close it if there is a high probability of the uptrend finish.
Optionally users can enable MFI and AO filters. First of all, let's briefly explain what are these two indicators. The Awesome Oscillator (AO), created by Bill Williams, is a momentum-based indicator that evaluates market momentum by comparing recent price activity to a broader historical context. It assists traders in identifying potential trend reversals and gauging trend strength.
AO = SMA5(Median Price) − SMA34(Median Price)
where:
Median Price = (High + Low) / 2
SMA5 = 5-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
SMA 34 = 34-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
This indicator is filtering signals in the following way: if current AO bar is decreasing this candle can be interpreted as a bullish reversal bar. This logic is applicable because initially this strategy is a trend reversal, it is searching for the high probability setup against the current trend. Decreasing AO is the additional high probability filter of a downtrend.
Let's briefly look what is MFI. The Market Facilitation Index (MFI) is a technical indicator that measures the price movement per unit of volume, helping traders gauge the efficiency of price movement in relation to trading volume. Here's how you can calculate it:
MFI = (High−Low)/Volume
MFI can be used in combination with volume, so we can divide 4 states. Bill Williams introduced these to help traders interpret the interaction between volume and price movement. Here’s a quick summary:
Green Window (Increased MFI & Increased Volume): Indicates strong momentum with both price and volume increasing. Often a sign of trend continuation, as both buying and selling interest are rising.
Fake Window (Increased MFI & Decreased Volume): Shows that price is moving but with lower volume, suggesting weak support for the trend. This can signal a potential end of the current trend.
Squat Window (Decreased MFI & Increased Volume): Shows high volume but little price movement, indicating a tug-of-war between buyers and sellers. This often precedes a breakout as the pressure builds.
Fade Window (Decreased MFI & Decreased Volume): Indicates a lack of interest from both buyers and sellers, leading to lower momentum. This typically happens in range-bound markets and may signal consolidation before a new move.
For our purposes we are interested in squat bars. This is the sign that volume cannot move the price easily. This type of bar increases the probability of trend reversal. In this indicator we added to enable the MFI filter of reversal bars. If potential reversal bar or two preceding bars have squat state this bar can be interpret as a reversal one.

Candlestick analysis
Wick ProportionsThis simple indicator highlights candles with short and long wicks matching a specified percentage of the candle's price range.
The candle is highlighted if the short wick is less than or equal to a specified percentage of the candle price range and the long wick is more than or equal to a specified percentage of the candle price range.
Both percentages can be separately specified as inputs, within reasonable ranges.
The indicator is useful for various strategies attempting to identify price reversal points.
Enhanced SMA Strategy with Trend Lines & S&R by DaxThe Enhanced SMA Strategy with Trend Lines & Support/Resistance (S&R) by Dax indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to improve trading decisions by combining the simplicity of the Simple Moving Average (SMA) with the insight provided by trend lines and support/resistance levels. This hybrid approach aims to create a more robust and reliable trading strategy.
Key Components:
Simple Moving Average (SMA):
SMA is a basic trend-following indicator that calculates the average of a set of price data over a specified period. It helps identify the direction of the market, such as whether an asset is in an uptrend or downtrend.
The Enhanced SMA Strategy may use multiple SMAs, such as short-term (e.g., 20-period) and long-term (e.g., 50-period), to detect crossovers that signal buy or sell opportunities. For example, a bullish crossover occurs when a short-term SMA crosses above a long-term SMA, indicating a potential buying signal, while a bearish crossover signals a potential sell.
Trend Lines:
Trend lines are drawn on the price chart to visually identify the direction of the market, acting as dynamic support and resistance levels. A trend line is drawn by connecting two or more price points that demonstrate the overall price movement.
Trend lines can help traders see potential breakout or breakdown points. A price breaking above a downtrend line or below an uptrend line often signals a trend reversal.
Support and Resistance (S&R):
Support levels are price levels where an asset tends to find buying interest and stop falling, while Resistance levels are points where selling pressure emerges and prevent the price from rising further.
These levels are critical in determining where price reversals or consolidations are likely to occur. Enhanced S&R indicators can automatically identify these levels and draw horizontal lines at these critical points on the chart.
Combining S&R with SMA can help traders decide whether a breakout or bounce is likely at these levels, increasing the odds of a successful trade.
How It Works:
Trend Identification: The SMA is used to determine the trend direction. A rising SMA indicates an uptrend, while a falling SMA suggests a downtrend.
Signal Generation: The strategy often uses a combination of SMA crossovers (bullish or bearish) along with the confirmation of price action near trend lines and support/resistance levels. For example:
If a price breaks above resistance and the short-term SMA crosses above the long-term SMA, a buy signal is confirmed.
Conversely, if the price breaks below support and the short-term SMA crosses below the long-term SMA, a sell signal is given.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: Trend lines are drawn automatically or manually to spot areas where price might reverse. The Enhanced SMA Strategy checks if the price is close to these levels, providing a more precise entry/exit point based on the broader market context.
Advantages of the Enhanced SMA Strategy with Trend Lines & S&R:
Improved Accuracy: By combining trend-following (SMA) with key levels like trend lines and S&R, the strategy filters out false signals, leading to more reliable trade setups.
Trend Confirmation: The use of trend lines and S&R confirms the broader market context, reducing the risk of trading against the trend or entering at weak price points.
Flexible: This strategy can be applied to various timeframes, from short-term day trading to longer-term swing trading.
Visual Clarity: The combination of trend lines, S&R, and moving averages provides a clear and visually intuitive strategy for identifying key price levels and trend shifts.
How to Use It:
Draw Trend Lines: Identify the most recent price peaks and troughs to draw trend lines, marking the potential resistance and support levels.
Use SMAs: Apply two different-period SMAs to detect the trend (e.g., 20-period and 50-period). Pay attention to crossovers for buy/sell signals.
Watch for Breakouts or Reversals: Monitor how the price behaves at support or resistance levels and the trend lines. A price move beyond these levels, accompanied by a confirming SMA crossover, can signal a strong trade opportunity.
Conclusion:
The Enhanced SMA Strategy with Trend Lines & S&R by Dax is a powerful, multi-layered approach to technical analysis. It enhances the basic SMA strategy by incorporating additional tools like trend lines and support/resistance levels, which help traders make more informed decisions with higher accuracy. This method is suitable for both novice and experienced traders, offering clear trade signals while reducing the risk of false entries.

Scalping long-shortThe Scalping long-short indicator is a comprehensive system for analyzing candle patterns and trading volume, designed for use in a scalping strategy. The main purpose of the indicator is to identify the key points of changing market sentiment and provide the trader with accurate signals for entering a trade.
The main components of the indicator:
1. Candle Pattern Analysis:
The indicator analyzes four main candle patterns:
-A Bullish Hammer is a candle with a small body and a long lower tail, which indicates the possible completion of a downward movement and the beginning of an uptrend.
-Bearish Hanging Man is a candle similar to a bullish hammer, but it appears after an upward movement, signaling the possible beginning of a downtrend.
-Bullish Engulfing is a candle with a large body that completely covers the body of the previous candle, showing strong buyer interest.
-Bearish Engulfing is the reverse situation, when a large bearish candle absorbs the previous bullish candle, indicating the predominance of sellers.
-Doji is a candle with almost identical opening and closing prices, indicating market indecision.
For each of these patterns, the indicator sets certain threshold values that the user can adjust to their preferences and features of the trading instrument.
2. Volume analysis:
The volume is an important confirmation of the strength of the signal. The indicator compares the current volume with the average value for the user-selected period (length parameter) multiplied by the volumeMultiplier coefficient. If the current volume exceeds this indicator, the signal is considered confirmed.
3. Visual indication:
Graphical elements corresponding to each type of signal are displayed on the price chart.:
-The green triangle down is a buy signal (bullish hammer or bullish takeover).
-The red triangle up is a sell signal (bearish hanging or bearish engulfing).
-The yellow diamond is a neutral state (doji).
These visual cues help you quickly assess the current market situation without having to analyze each candle manually in depth.
4. Alerts:
The indicator supports setting alerts that can be sent via the TradingView platform or other supporting systems. This allows the trader to receive notifications about the occurrence of new signals even outside the workplace.
Settings:
The user can change the following settings:
-Length is the period for calculating the average volume.
-Multiplier is a multiplier for the thresholds of candle patterns.
-HammerThreshold, HangingManThreshold, EngulfingThreshold, DojiThreshold are Thresholds for recognizing specific candlestick patterns.
-VolumeMultiplier is a coefficient for comparing the current volume with the average value.
These parameters allow you to adapt the indicator to various trading instruments and time intervals, making it a universal tool for a wide range of traders.
Conclusion:
The Scalping long-short indicator combines powerful analytical tools to identify key points in the market, providing the trader with clear and timely signals for making trading decisions. Its flexibility and fine-tuning capability make it useful for both beginners and experienced market participants.

The N_range list encompasses every lookback value to check with. The sse_calc function accepts an individual element to then perform the calculation for Reversals. If there is a reversal, the error becomes how far away the close is from a moving average with that look back. Lowest error wins. That would be the look back used for the Reversals calculation.
Reversals calculation
// Calculating with optimized parameters
x_opt = math.pow(close - close , 2)
y_opt = math.pow(close - close , 2) + math.pow(close, 2)
z_opt = x_opt / y_opt
scaled_z_opt = z_opt * math.log(N_opt)
min_r_opt = ta.lowest(scaled_z_opt, N_opt)
max_r_opt = ta.highest(scaled_z_opt, N_opt)
norm_r_opt = (scaled_z_opt - min_r_opt) / (max_r_opt - min_r_opt)
SMA_opt = ta.sma(close, N_opt)
reversal_bullish_opt = norm_r_opt == 1.000 and norm_r_opt < 0.90 and close < SMA_opt and close > high and close > open and session.ismarket and barstate.isconfirmed
reversal_bearish_opt = norm_r_opt == 1.000 and norm_r_opt < 0.90 and close > SMA_opt and close < low and close < open and session.ismarket and barstate.isconfirmed
X_opt and y_opt are the compared values to develop the system. Everything done afterwards is scaling and using it to spot the Reversals. X_opt is the current close, minus the close with the optimal N bars back, squared. Then y_opt is also that but plus the current close squared. Z_opt is then x_opt / y_opt. This gives us a pretty small number that will go up when we approach tops or bottoms. To make life a little easier I normalize the value between 0 and 1.
After I find the moving average with the optimal N, I can check if there is a Reversal. Reversals are there when the last value is at 1 and the current value drops below 0.90. This would tell us that “memory” was strong and is now changing. To determine direction and help with accuracy, if the close is above the moving average it is a bearish alert, and vice versa. As well as the close must be below the last low for a bearish Reversal, above the last high for a bullish Reversal. Also the close must be above the open for a bullish Reversal, and below for a bearish one.
Visual examples
This NASDAQ:TSLA chart shows how alerts may come around. The bullish and bearish labels are plotted on the chart along with a reference line to see price interact with.
The indicator has the potential to be inactive, like we see here on $OKLO. There is only one alert, and it marks the bottom nicely.
Stocks with strong trends like NYSE:NOW may be more susceptible to false alerts. Assets that are volatile and bounce around a lot may be better.
It works on intra day charts the same as on Daily or longer charts. We see here on NASDAQ:QQQ it spotted the bottom on this particular trading day.
This tool is meant to aid traders in making decisions, not to be followed blindly. No trading tool is 100% accurate and Sum of Squared Errors does not guarantee the most optimal value. I encourage feedback and constructive criticism.
Smart Money Concepts (Advanced)Inspired and initially based on LuxAlgo's Smart Money Concepts Indicator I created a library lib_smc that started to convert every function and return objects. This allowed certain customizations like tracking the current fill level of FVGs or tracking the creation of Order Blocks, by monitoring consecutive bars against the current trend.
This indicator is provided as is, based on, but probably not always be up to date with my lib_smc that I am using for my projects.
WARNING: This indicator shows EXPERIMENTAL Order Blocks that are tracked LIVE. Unlike usual Order Blocks these are not just based on the last confirmed Swing Point (formed 50 bars before) but on consecutive candles opposing an unconfirmed trend. Blocks are confirmed by price movements relative to the unconfirmed block and unconfirmed swing points. This means that some Order Blocks will appear on pullbacks, as well as reversals.
Features
Swing Points (HH / LH / HL / LL), indicating support / resistance zones price might reject off of or want to push through

VPSA-VTDDear Sir/Madam,
I am pleased to present the next iteration of my indicator concept, which, in my opinion, serves as a highly useful tool for analyzing markets using the Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) method or the Wyckoff methodology.
The VPSA (Volume-Price Spread Analysis), the latest version in the family of scripts I’ve developed, appears to perform its task effectively. The combination of visualizing normalized data alongside their significance, achieved through the application of Z-Score standardization, proved to be a sound solution. Therefore, I decided to take it a step further and expand my project with a complementary approach to the existing one.
Theory
At the outset, I want to acknowledge that I’m aware of the existence of other probabilistic models used in financial markets, which may describe these phenomena more accurately. However, in line with Occam's Razor, I aimed to maintain simplicity in the analysis and interpretation of the concepts below. For this reason, I focused on describing the data using the Gaussian distribution.
The data I read from the chart — primarily the closing price, the high-low price difference (spread), and volume — exhibit cyclical patterns. These cycles are described by Wyckoff's methodology, while VSA complements and presents them from a different perspective. I will refrain from explaining these methods in depth due to their complexity and broad scope. What matters is that within these cycles, various events occur, described by candles or bars in distinct ways, characterized by different spreads and volumes. When observing the chart, I notice periods of lower volatility, often accompanied by lower volumes, as well as periods of high volatility and significant volumes. It’s important to find harmony within this apparent chaos. I think that chart interpretation cannot happen without considering the broader context, but the more variables I include in the analytical process, the more challenges arise. For instance, how can I determine if something is large (wide) or small (narrow)? For elements like volume or spread, my script provides a partial answer to this question. Now, let’s get to the point.
Technical Overview
The first technique I applied is Min-Max Normalization. With its help, the script adjusts volume and spread values to a range between 0 and 1. This allows for a comparable bar chart, where a wide bar represents volume, and a narrow one represents spread. Without normalization, visually comparing values that differ by several orders of magnitude would be inconvenient. If the indicator shows that one bar has a unit spread value while another has half that value, it means the first bar is twice as large. The ratio is preserved.
The second technique I used is Z-Score Standardization. This concept is based on the normal distribution, characterized by variables such as the mean and standard deviation, which measures data dispersion around the mean. The Z-Score indicates how many standard deviations a given value deviates from the population mean. The higher the Z-Score, the more the examined object deviates from the mean. If an object has a Z-Score of 3, it falls within 0.1% of the population, making it a rare occurrence or even an anomaly. In the context of chart analysis, such strong deviations are events like climaxes, which often signal the end of a trend, though not always. In my script, I assigned specific colors to frequently occurring Z-Score values:
Below 1 – Blue
Above 1 – Green
Above 2 – Red
Above 3 – Fuchsia
These colors are applied to both spread and volume, allowing for quick visual interpretation of data.
Volume Trend Detector (VTD)
The above forms the foundation of VPSA. However, I have extended the script with a Volume Trend Detector (VTD). The idea is that when I consider market structure - by market structure, I mean the overall chart, support and resistance levels, candles, and patterns typical of spread and volume analysis as well as Wyckoff patterns - I look for price ranges where there is a lack of supply, demand, or clues left behind by Smart Money or the market's enigmatic identity known as the Composite Man. This is essential because, as these clues and behaviors of market participants — expressed through the chart’s dynamics - reflect the actions, decisions, and emotions of all players. These behaviors can help interpret the bull-bear battle and estimate the probability of their next moves, which is one of the key factors for a trader relying on technical analysis to make a trade decision.
I enhanced the script with a Volume Trend Detector, which operates in two modes:
Step-by-Step Logic
The detector identifies expected volume dynamics. For instance, when looking for signs of a lack of bullish interest, I focus on setups with decreasing volatility and volume, particularly for bullish candles. These setups are referred to as No Demand patterns, according to Tom Williams' methodology.
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
The detector can also operate based on a simple moving average, helping to identify systematic trends in declining volume, indicating potential imbalances in market forces.
I’ve designed the program to allow the selection of candle types and volume characteristics to which the script will pay particular attention and notify me of specific market conditions.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages:
Unified visualization of normalized spread and volume, saving time and improving efficiency.
The use of Z-Score as a consistent and repeatable relative mechanism for marking examined values.
The use of colors in visualization as a reference to Z-Score values.
The possibility to set up a continuous alert system that monitors the market in real time.
The use of EMA (Exponential Moving Average) as a moving average for Z-Score.
The goal of these features is to save my time, which is the only truly invaluable resource.
Disadvantages:
The assumption that the data follows a normal distribution, which may lead to inaccurate interpretations.
A fixed analysis period, which may not be perfectly suited to changing market conditions.
The use of EMA as a moving average for Z-Score, listed both as an advantage and a disadvantage depending on market context.
I have included comments within the code to explain the logic behind each part. For those who seek detailed mathematical formulas, I invite you to explore the code itself.
Defining Program Parameters:
Numerical Conditions:
VPSA Period for Analysis – The number of candles analyzed.
Normalized Spread Alert Threshold – The expected normalized spread value; defines how large or small the spread should be, with a range of 0-1.00.
Normalized Volume Alert Threshold – The expected normalized volume value; defines how large or small the volume should be, with a range of 0-1.00.
Spread Z-SCORE Alert Threshold – The Z-SCORE value for the spread; determines how much the spread deviates from the average, with a range of 0-4 (a higher value can be entered, but from a logical standpoint, exceeding 4 is unnecessary).
Volume Z-SCORE Alert Threshold – The Z-SCORE value for volume; determines how much the volume deviates from the average, with a range of 0-4 (the same logical note as above applies).
Logical Conditions:
Logical conditions describe whether the expected value should be less than or equal to or greater than or equal to the numerical condition.
All four parameters accept two possibilities and are analogous to the numerical conditions.
Volume Trend Detector:
Volume Trend Detector Period for Analysis – The analysis period, indicating the number of candles examined.
Method of Trend Determination – The method used to determine the trend. Possible values: Step by Step or SMA.
Trend Direction – The expected trend direction. Possible values: Upward or Downward.
Candle Type – The type of candle taken into account. Possible values: Bullish, Bearish, or Any.
The last available setting is the option to enable a joint alert for VPSA and VTD.
When enabled, VPSA will trigger on the last closed candle, regardless of the VTD analysis period.
Example Use Cases (Labels Visible in the Script Window Indicate Triggered Alerts):
The provided labels in the chart window mark where specific conditions were met and alerts were triggered.
Summary and Reflections
The program I present is a strong tool in the ongoing "game" with the Composite Man.
However, it requires familiarity and understanding of the underlying methodologies to fully utilize its potential.
Of course, like any technical analysis tool, it is not without flaws. There is no indicator that serves as a perfect Grail, accurately signaling Buy or Sell in every case.
I would like to thank those who have read through my thoughts to the end and are willing to take a closer look at my work by using this script.
If you encounter any errors or have suggestions for improvement, please feel free to contact me.
I wish you good health and accurately interpreted market structures, leading to successful trades!

Quantile Statistical Levels [keypoems]Overview:
The Quantile Statistical Levels Indicator is designed to enhance intra-day trading strategies by leveraging statistical analysis of historical price movements.
The indicator is based on the principle that HTF (higher time-frame ) candles typically follow a pattern of:
1. Accumulation
2. Manipulation (can be modelled as the wick of the candle)
3. Expansion (the main price move)
A well-known trading technique involves buying within the wick of a bullish HTF candle, below its opening price, expecting an expansion of the current HTF candle (reverse for bearish). This indicator surfaces weeks of work on statistical distributions measuring the average length of the "manipulation" wicks of HTF candles, based on extensive historical data across multiple assets.
Features:
Statistical Quantile Manipulation and Expansion Levels:
This indicator marks Quantile Manipulation (and respective Expansion) levels that can help a trader gauge the shape of the currently developing HTF candle while looking at a a lower timeframe chart.
Q1 (First Quartile): statistically is a level touched 3 out of 4 times (75% of the time).
Median (Q2): it is a price threshold touched 50% of the time.
Q3 (Third Quartile): it is surpassed only 1 in 4 times (25% of the time), indicating significant price movement beyond this level is generally less common.
Warning Bands
The indicator also provides Warning Bands, these bands visually alert traders when the current price action is in a "Manipulation Zone" contrary to their intended trading bias. For instance, if a trader is looking to go long but the price is in the Manipulation Zone for shorts, this could signal a potential trap or a need for caution.
More precise levels can be optionally activated in the options for specific markets (currently NQ).

EMA Crossover Strategy with Take Profit and Candle HighlightingStrategy Overview:
This strategy is based on the Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), specifically the EMA 20 and EMA 50. It takes advantage of EMA crossovers to identify potential trend reversals and uses multiple take-profit levels and a stop-loss for risk management.
Key Components:
EMA Crossover Signals:
Buy Signal (Uptrend): A buy signal is generated when the EMA 20 crosses above the EMA 50, signaling the start of a potential uptrend.
Sell Signal (Downtrend): A sell signal is generated when the EMA 20 crosses below the EMA 50, signaling the start of a potential downtrend.
Take Profit Levels:
Once a buy or sell signal is triggered, the strategy calculates multiple take-profit levels based on the range of the previous candle. The user can define multipliers for each take-profit level.
Take Profit 1 (TP1): 50% of the previous candle's range above or below the entry price.
Take Profit 2 (TP2): 100% of the previous candle's range above or below the entry price.
Take Profit 3 (TP3): 150% of the previous candle's range above or below the entry price.
Take Profit 4 (TP4): 200% of the previous candle's range above or below the entry price.
These levels are adjusted dynamically based on the previous candle's high and low, so they adapt to changing market conditions.
Stop Loss:
A stop-loss is set to manage risk. The default stop-loss is 3% from the entry price, but this can be adjusted in the settings. The stop-loss is triggered if the price moves against the position by this amount.
Trend Direction Highlighting:
The strategy highlights the bars (candles) with colors:
Green bars indicate an uptrend (when EMA 20 crosses above EMA 50).
Red bars indicate a downtrend (when EMA 20 crosses below EMA 50).
These visual cues help users easily identify the market direction.
Strategy Entries and Exits:
Entries: The strategy enters a long (buy) position when the EMA 20 crosses above the EMA 50 and a short (sell) position when the EMA 20 crosses below the EMA 50.
Exits: The strategy exits the positions at any of the defined take-profit levels or the stop-loss. Multiple exit levels provide opportunities to take profit progressively as the price moves in the favorable direction.
Entry and Exit Conditions in Detail:
Buy Entry Condition (Uptrend):
A buy position is opened when EMA 20 crosses above EMA 50, signaling the start of an uptrend.
The strategy calculates take-profit levels above the entry price based on the previous bar's range (high-low) and the multipliers for TP1, TP2, TP3, and TP4.
Sell Entry Condition (Downtrend):
A sell position is opened when EMA 20 crosses below EMA 50, signaling the start of a downtrend.
The strategy calculates take-profit levels below the entry price, similarly based on the previous bar's range.
Exit Conditions:
Take Profit: The strategy attempts to exit the position at one of the take-profit levels (TP1, TP2, TP3, or TP4). If the price reaches any of these levels, the position is closed.
Stop Loss: The strategy also has a stop-loss set at a default value (3% below the entry for long trades, and 3% above for short trades). The stop-loss helps to protect the position from significant losses.
Backtesting and Performance Metrics:
The strategy can be backtested using TradingView's Strategy Tester. The results will show how the strategy would have performed historically, including key metrics like:
Net Profit
Max Drawdown
Win Rate
Profit Factor
Average Trade Duration
These performance metrics can help users assess the strategy's effectiveness over historical periods and optimize the input parameters (e.g., multipliers, stop-loss level).
Customization:
The strategy allows for the adjustment of several key input values via the settings panel:
Take Profit Multipliers: Users can customize the multipliers for each take-profit level (TP1, TP2, TP3, TP4).
Stop Loss Percentage: The user can also adjust the stop-loss percentage to a custom value.
EMA Periods: The default periods for the EMA 50 and EMA 20 are fixed, but they can be adjusted for different market conditions.
Pros of the Strategy:
EMA Crossover Strategy: A classic and well-known strategy used by traders to identify the start of new trends.
Multiple Take Profit Levels: By taking profits progressively at different levels, the strategy locks in gains as the price moves in favor of the position.
Clear Trend Identification: The use of green and red bars makes it visually easier to follow the market's direction.
Risk Management: The stop-loss and take-profit features help to manage risk and optimize profit-taking.
Cons of the Strategy:
Lagging Indicators: The strategy relies on EMAs, which are lagging indicators. This means that the strategy might enter trades after the trend has already started, leading to missed opportunities or less-than-ideal entry prices.
No Confirmation Indicators: The strategy purely depends on the crossover of two EMAs and does not use other confirming indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD), which might lead to false signals in volatile markets.
How to Use in Real-Time Trading:
Use for Backtesting: Initially, use this strategy in backtest mode to understand how it would have performed historically with your preferred settings.
Paper Trading: Once comfortable, you can use paper trading to test the strategy in real-time market conditions without risking real money.
Live Trading: After testing and optimizing the strategy, you can consider using it for live trading with proper risk management in place (e.g., starting with a small position size and adjusting parameters as needed).
Summary:
This strategy is designed to identify trend reversals using EMA crossovers, with customizable take-profit levels and a stop-loss to manage risk. It's well-suited for traders looking for a systematic way to enter and exit trades based on clear market signals, while also providing flexibility to adjust for different risk profiles and trading styles.
SufinBDThis TradingView script combines RSI, Stochastic RSI, MACD, and Bollinger Bands to generate Buy and Sell signals on two different timeframes: 4-hour (4H) and Daily (1D). The strategy aims to provide entry and exit points based on a multi-indicator confirmation approach, helping traders make more informed decisions.
Features:
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
Measures the speed and change of price movements.
The script looks for oversold conditions (RSI below 30) for buy signals and overbought conditions (RSI above 70) for sell signals.
Stochastic RSI:
Measures the level of RSI relative to its high-low range over a given period.
A Stochastic RSI below 0.2 indicates oversold conditions, and a value above 0.8 indicates overbought conditions.
It helps identify overbought and oversold conditions in a more precise manner than regular RSI.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
A trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security's price.
The MACD line crossing above the Signal line generates bullish signals, and vice versa for bearish signals.
Bollinger Bands:
A volatility indicator that consists of a middle band (SMA of price), an upper band, and a lower band.
When the price is below the lower band, it signals potential buy opportunities, while prices above the upper band signal potential sell opportunities.
Timeframe Usage:
The script calculates indicators for both the 4-hour (4H) and Daily (1D) timeframes.
The combined signals from these two timeframes are used to generate Buy and Sell alerts.
Buy Signal:
A Buy signal is generated when all of the following conditions are met:
RSI on both 4H and 1D is below 30 (oversold conditions).
Stochastic RSI on both timeframes is below 0.2.
The MACD line is above the Signal line on both timeframes.
The price is below the lower Bollinger Band on both the 4H and 1D charts.
Sell Signal:
A Sell signal is generated when all of the following conditions are met:
RSI on both 4H and 1D is above 70 (overbought conditions).
Stochastic RSI on both timeframes is above 0.8.
The MACD line is below the Signal line on both timeframes.
The price is above the upper Bollinger Band on both the 4H and 1D charts.
Visuals:
Buy signals are marked with green labels below the bars.
Sell signals are marked with red labels above the bars.
Bollinger Bands are displayed on the chart with the upper and lower bands marked in blue (for 4H) and orange (for 1D).
Purpose:
This script aims to provide more reliable buy/sell signals by combining indicators across multiple timeframes. It is ideal for traders who want to use multiple confirmation points before entering or exiting a trade.
How to Use:
Apply the script to any chart on TradingView.
Look for Buy and Sell signals that meet the conditions above.
You can adjust the timeframe (e.g., 4H or 1D) based on your trading strategy.
This script can be used for intraday trading, swing trading, or position trading depending on your preferred timeframes.
Example of Signal Interpretation:
Buy Signal:
If all conditions are met (e.g., RSI is under 30, Stochastic RSI is under 0.2, MACD is bullish, and price is below the lower Bollinger Band on both the 4-hour and daily charts), the script will show a green "BUY" label below the price bar.
Sell Signal:
If all conditions are met (e.g., RSI is over 70, Stochastic RSI is over 0.8, MACD is bearish, and price is above the upper Bollinger Band on both timeframes), the script will show a red "SELL" label above the price bar.
This combination of indicators offers a multi-layered confirmation approach, which aims to reduce the risk of false signals and increase the reliability of your trading decisions.
Candle Body Size Of Total SizeThis script calculates the candle body size as a percentage of the total candle size (range from high to low) and plots it as a histogram. It also includes a reference line at 70% to identify candles where the body is significant relative to the total range.
ORB opening range breakoutThis indicator plots the opening range high and low for a selected period of time in minutes after the market opens on an intraday chart to allow the user to visualize the high and low of the opening range for use in the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy.
The Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy is a trading approach that involves identifying the price range within the first few minutes of a market session and then waiting for the price to break out of that range. This indicator facilitates this strategy through the use of shaded regions and/or price levels.
Features
Able to plot the high and low for any opening range above 1 min on any intraday timeframe
Fully customizable ORB region, price level, price axis, label
The inclusion of the Bollinger band along with it's Moving Average serves multiple purposes to assist the user in the opening range breakout strategy
Highlights to the user the deviation from the Moving Average due to an opening range breakout so that the user is better informed on whether to avoid entering a position, exit a position, or monitor the situation more closely
Highlights area of support or resistance formed by the Moving Average of Bollinger Band
Inform the user of the current trend direction to serve as confluence during an opening range breakout
What sets this indicator apart from others
In other ORB indicators, the opening range must be a multiple of the current chart's timeframe, restricting users on the intraday timeframes that can be used. E.g. if the user is using the 15 minutes opening range, they are restricted to use the 1, 3, 5, 15 minute(s) chart.
This indicator gives the user the flexibility to set any opening range above 1 min on any intraday timeframe. E.g. if the user is using the 15 minutes opening range, they are free to use any intraday timeframe on their chart, such as 1 hour or 2 hours chart.
How to use
Input the opening time range of interest in minutes
Check the "ORB region" checkbox to shade the ORB region
Check the "PRICE LEVEL" checkbox to draw a horizontal line of the high and low
Check the "PRICE AXIS" checkbox to plot the values on the price axis
Check the "LABEL" checkbox to draw a label of the high and low
PreannFXExplanation of the PreannFX indicator:
Candle Body Size:
The body of the current candle is larger than the previous candle.
Bullish Engulfing:
The current candle closes higher than the previous candle's high.
The body size is larger than the previous candle.
Bearish Engulfing:
The current candle closes lower than the previous candle's low.
The body size is larger than the previous candle.
Entry and Exit:
Bullish: Enter at the previous candle's open or high, stop loss at the previous low, and take profit is 1:1 with the stop loss.
Bearish: Enter at the previous candle's open or low, stop loss at the previous high, and take profit is 1:1 with the stop loss.
Visualization:
Green upward arrows for bullish engulfing patterns.
Red downward arrows for bearish engulfing patterns.
Supply and Demand Dashboard [tambangEA]The Supply and Demand Dashboard is an advanced Pine Script indicator that revolutionizes Supply and Demand analysis. Designed for traders, it enables multi-pair and multi-timeframe detection of supply and demand structures, offering a comprehensive and efficient trading experience.
________________________________________
Some Candles represent Accumulation/Distribution of Orders while others do not
-Boring Candles (Candle with Body Range <=50% of Candle Range):
They imply that transactions are happening in a range thus Demand and Supply is in balance and orders are potentially being accumulated/distributed by the Big Boys
-Exciting Candles (Candle with Body Range > 50% of Candle Range) :
They imply imbalance between Demand and Supply thus price starts moving either up or down.
Zones is made up of 3 (three) components : Leg In, Base and Leg Out
-Leg In (Exciting Candles to the Left of Basing)
-Base will always be Boring Candles.
-Leg Out (Exciting Candles to the Right of Basing) will always be Exciting Candles.
There are 4 (four) types of Zones , namely:
1.Rally-Base-Rally (RBR) : This structure represents a bullish continuation zone. It occurs when the price rallies (increases), forms a base (consolidates), and then rallies again. The base represents a period where buying interest builds up before the continuation of the upward movement. This zone can act as support, where buyers may step back in if the price revisits the area.
2.Drop-Base-Rally (DBR) : This structure marks a bullish reversal zone. It forms when the price drops, creates a base, and then rallies. The base indicates a potential exhaustion of selling pressure and a build-up of buying interest. When price revisits this zone, it may act as support, signaling a buying opportunity.
3.Rally-Base-Drop (RBD) : This structure signifies a bearish reversal zone. Here, the price rallies, consolidates into a base, and then drops. The base indicates a temporary balance before sellers overpower buyers. If price returns to this zone, it may act as resistance, with selling interest potentially re-emerging.
4.Drop-Base-Drop (DBD) : This structure is a bearish continuation zone. It occurs when the price drops, forms a base, and then continues dropping. This base reflects a pause before further downward movement. The zone may act as resistance, with sellers possibly stepping back in if the price revisits the area.
________________________________________
a R (Rally) or a D (Drop) is always 1 (one) bar, but the B (Base) can be 1 (one) to maximum 6 (six) bars
Technical Advantages
The advantages of this script from open source are "Dashboard" and "Shadow"
1. Dashboard can show zones formed in different Pairs and Time Frames at a glance
2. Shadow can show zones formed in previous period candles
The patterns are detected not by code found in the public repository but by code built from scratch, focussed on better performance, faster loading, and few to no runtime errors compared to other open-source scripts.
________________________________________
Key Features
1. Multi-Pair & Multi-Timeframe Detection:
Seamlessly scan and analyze supply and demand zones across multiple trading pairs and timeframes from one centralized dashboard.
Ideal for traders who monitor a diverse range of instruments.
2. Dynamic Zone Mapping:
Draws supply and demand zones directly on the chart, tailored to the active chart timeframe.
Configure the number of past patterns (last X patterns) to be displayed for better visual clarity.
3. Dashboard Insights:
Lists the last zone touched for each pair and timeframe, offering traders real-time updates on key market zones.
Includes a 'shadow' dashboard feature that highlights zones where price passed beyond the level (1 bar ago), helping identify potential breakout or continuation setups.
4. Customizable Zone Visuals:
Easily distinguish between supply and demand zones using customizable colors and settings.
Zones update dynamically as new patterns form or old zones are invalidated.
5. Enhanced Trading Decision-Making:
Combines a visual map of the market's structure with an intuitive dashboard for rapid analysis and decision-making.
Helps traders identify key reversal points, continuation patterns, and zone strength effectively.
6. Optimized Performance:
Built with efficiency in mind to handle multiple pairs and timeframes without causing lag or performance issues.
________________________________________
Usage in Real Trading
There are 2 (two) ways to use the Supply and Demand Dashboard in Real Trading :
1. Prices will potentially touch the Demand Zone first and then continue their Bullish trend.
2. If multiple timeframes show the same zone, then a trend is likely to occur (image above)
example:
MultiTime Frame shows DBD then it is possible that the Trend will go down
________________________________________
Look at the image below :
• Top Left: M15 (15-Min Chart) – Dashboard Overview.
• Bottom Left: M30 (30-Min Chart) – DBD formed.
• Top Right: H4 (4-Hour Chart) – DBD confirmed.
• Bottom Right: D1 (Daily Chart) – "Shadow" shows RBR from the previous candle.
________________________________________
Use Cases
Swing Trading: Spot long-term supply and demand zones across higher timeframes for strategic trade entries.
