Effective FVG Indicator - ImranDescription:
The Effective FVG Indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to identify Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in financial markets. FVGs occur when there is a significant gap between the closing price of one session and the opening price of the next session, often indicating a potential reversal point. This indicator uses volume and price movement criteria to confirm and mark these gaps effectively.
Key Features:
Fair Value Gap Detection : Identifies both bullish and bearish FVGs based on significant gaps in price.
Volume Confirmation : Confirms FVGs with high volume, ensuring that the gap is not due to a lack of liquidity.
Price Imbalance : Ensures that the gap is accompanied by a large price movement within the session, indicating strong market sentiment.
Buy/Sell Signals : Marks bullish FVGs with a green "BUY" label below the bar and bearish FVGs with a red "SELL" label above the bar.
Background Highlighting : Highlights the background with a semi-transparent green or red color when a valid FVG is detected, making it easy to spot significant gaps.

Bullish Engulfing Pattern (Green Label)
What it means: A bullish engulfing pattern typically signals a potential reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend. The current candle fully engulfs the previous candle, signaling strong buying interest.
Identifying Candlestick Patterns on the Chart
How to use it:
Entry: Look for a green label (bullish engulfing) at the bottom of the chart. When it appears, consider entering a long position (buy).
Confirmation: To increase reliability, wait for confirmation by observing if price moves above the high of the bullish engulfing candle.
Exit: Exit when the trend shows signs of reversing or take profit at predefined levels (e.g., resistance or a risk-to-reward ratio).
Bearish Engulfing Pattern (Red Label)
What it means: A bearish engulfing pattern is a signal of a potential reversal from an uptrend to a downtrend. The current candle fully engulfs the previous candle, signaling strong selling pressure.
How to use it:
Entry: Look for a red label (bearish engulfing) at the top of the chart. When it appears, consider entering a short position (sell).
Confirmation: Wait for the price to move below the low of the bearish engulfing candle to confirm the bearish trend.
Exit: Close the trade when the price reaches support levels or the trend shows signs of reversing.
Doji Pattern (Blue Circle)
What it means: A Doji candle signals market indecision. It represents a balance between buyers and sellers, often marking a potential reversal or consolidation point.
How to use it:
Entry: If the Doji appears after a strong trend (bullish or bearish), wait for the next candle to break above or below the Doji's high or low. This can signal a continuation or reversal.
Confirmation: You can look for additional indicators like moving averages, RSI, or MACD for confirmation before taking any action.
Exit: Exit when the price shows clear momentum in your entry direction.
Hammer Pattern (Orange Triangle)
What it means: The hammer pattern is a bullish reversal pattern that appears after a downtrend. It suggests that sellers pushed the price down during the session, but buyers managed to push the price back up.
How to use it:
Entry: When a hammer appears, consider entering a long position (buy). The price should move above the hammer's high for confirmation.
Confirmation: Look for strong volume and a follow-up bullish candle to confirm the reversal.
Exit: Set a target based on the next resistance level, or use a trailing stop to lock in profits.
Using Candlestick Patterns with Other Indicators
To increase your chances of success, combine candlestick patterns with other technical indicators.
Here are some ideas:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Use RSI to check whether the market is overbought or oversold. A bullish engulfing in an oversold market could indicate a stronger buy signal, and a bearish engulfing in an overbought market could indicate a stronger sell signal.
Moving Averages (e.g., 50 EMA, 200 EMA): Confirm trend direction. If the candlestick pattern aligns with the direction of the moving averages, it can give a stronger signal.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): Use MACD to confirm momentum and potential trend changes. If a candlestick pattern aligns with a MACD crossover, it strengthens the signal.
Volume: Look for higher-than-average volume when a pattern appears. This can give you additional confirmation that the market is reacting strongly.
Practice and Refine
It's important to practice using the candlestick patterns in a demo account or backtest them to see how they perform under different market conditions. Over time, you can adjust the settings and patterns to fit your trading style and preferences.
Candle Riders CR1Overview
The **Candle Riders CR1** is an advanced trading tool designed to help traders anticipate potential market movements. It calculates three key levels – **Cpoint**, **Rpoint**, and **CRgap** – based on the high, low, and close values of the last 3 candles. These levels offer insights into possible price trends, reversals, and risk-to-reward scenarios, helping traders make more informed decisions.
This indicator is unique because it projects levels for the **next candle**, allowing traders to prepare for potential price movements rather than reacting to completed candles.
Key Features
1. **Cpoint**
- Indicates a potential price level for the next candle.
- If a **green signal** appears on the current candle, the upcoming candle might show an upward movement, with a tendency to reach the Cpoint.
- If a **red signal** appears, the next candle could show a downward movement towards the Cpoint.
2. **Rpoint**
- Represents a level where a trend reversal could occur.
- When the price reaches the Rpoint, it signals a potential change in direction.
- In case of a green signal, this could indicate a shift from an upward to a downward movement. Conversely, a red signal at the Rpoint might suggest a shift from downward to upward.
3. **CRgap**
- Reflects the distance between the last candle's closing price and the calculated Cpoint/Rpoint.
- It helps traders evaluate the risk-to-reward ratio for their potential trades.
- In case of a green signal, CRgap indicates the potential distance the price could move towards the Cpoint. If the price approaches the Rpoint, the same CRgap can guide target and stop levels.
- For a red signal, CRgap similarly represents the possible movement towards the Cpoint or a reversal at the Rpoint.
How It Works
The **Candle Riders CR1** uses a mathematical formula to calculate levels from the last 3 candles’ high, low, and close values. These levels provide a forward-looking view, projecting possible price movements for the **next candle**:
- **Green Signal on Current Candle**: Suggests a positive trend in the upcoming candle, with the price likely to move towards the Cpoint. The CRgap indicates the expected price movement, helping to set a risk-to-reward framework. If the price reaches the Rpoint, a reversal may occur, suggesting a change in direction.
- **Red Signal on Current Candle**: Implies a negative trend for the next candle, with the price tending to move towards the Cpoint. Here too, the CRgap helps assess risk and reward. If the price touches the Rpoint, a reversal might take place, indicating a potential upward movement.
- **Position Management**: If neither Cpoint nor Rpoint is reached, it is advisable to conclude the position when the current candle closes. However, if the same signal continues, the position can be carried forward to the next candle, although the levels for Cpoint, Rpoint, and CRgap will change.
Special Aspects
- **Predictive Analysis**: Unlike conventional indicators, CR1 calculates potential levels for the **next candle**, enabling traders to anticipate market movements.
- **Dynamic Updates**: Levels are recalculated with each new candle, ensuring relevance to evolving market conditions.
- **Multi-Time Frame Compatibility**: Suitable for all time frames, catering to intraday, swing, and positional traders.
Recommended Time Frames
Based on our **observations and back-testing**, the **Candle Riders CR1** has shown **consistent and reliable performance on the 15-minute, 30-minute, and 1-hour time frames**. These intervals appear to provide a balanced view of market movements, capturing trends effectively while minimizing noise.
While the indicator is versatile and can be used across various time frames, these specific durations have demonstrated a **higher degree of accuracy** and **clearer signal interpretation**.
It is important to note that past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Traders are encouraged to explore and adapt the time frames according to their trading style and risk appetite.
How to Use on
1. **Trend Anticipation**: Observe the signal on the current candle:
- **Green Signal**: Anticipate an upward movement in the next candle towards the Cpoint. Use CRgap to evaluate the potential movement. If the price approaches the Rpoint, it signals a potential reversal.
- **Red Signal**: Expect a downward movement in the next candle towards the Cpoint, using CRgap for risk-to-reward assessment. A reversal may occur if the price reaches the Rpoint.
2. **Reversal Indication**: The Rpoint serves as a crucial level for identifying potential trend reversals.
3. **Risk Management**: Utilize CRgap to set target and risk levels, aligning trades with calculated risk-to-reward ratios.
4. **Position Closure and Carry Forward**:
- If no significant movement occurs, consider closing the position at the candle’s end.
- If the same signal persists, the position can be carried forward to the next candle, keeping in mind that levels will be recalculated.
Important Notes
- The levels (Cpoint, Rpoint, CRgap) are calculated for the **next candle**, not the current one.
- Once the current candle closes, new levels are calculated, ensuring that the indicator remains forward-looking.
- These levels are meant to provide context and should be used as a guiding tool along with other trading strategies.
Disclaimer
The **Candle Riders CR1** indicator uses mathematical calculations to project potential price levels. These projections are for **informational and educational purposes only** and are not recommendations or guarantees of future price movements.
- Cpoint and Rpoint levels are based on historical market data and indicate potential price movement or reversal areas.
- CRgap helps traders evaluate risk-to-reward scenarios but should not be the sole basis for trading decisions.
- All trading decisions should be made with independent analysis and proper risk management.
Why It’s Special
1. **Forward-Looking Projections**: It predicts potential levels for the next candle, offering an anticipatory trading advantage.
2. **Dynamic Adaptation**: The indicator adapts to changing market conditions, recalculating levels with each new candle.
3. **Comprehensive Risk Analysis**: By calculating CRgap, it provides a clear framework for evaluating risk-to-reward ratios.
4. **Versatile Application**: Compatible with all time frames and markets, making it adaptable for different trading strategies.
5. **Suggested Time Frames**: Based on our experience, the **15-minute, 30-minute, and 1-hour** time frames have shown consistent and reliable performance.

[GrandAlgo] Institutional Price BlocksThe Institutional Price Blocks indicator identifies key price levels where significant market activity is likely to occur. Using a proprietary algorithm, it detects zones of institutional interest based on confirmed price behavior rather than standard support and resistance levels. These zones dynamically adjust to market conditions, reflecting areas where price has consistently reacted. By focusing on verified price movements, the indicator provides a structured approach to identifying high-impact levels, helping traders navigate market movements with greater confidence.
Key Features:
Proprietary Algorithm – Identifies critical price zones only after key confirmation signals, ensuring reliability.
Dynamic Institutional Levels – Zones adjust with market conditions, highlighting areas where significant activity occurs.
Highly Respected Price Zones – Levels where price consistently reacts, providing clear trading opportunities.
Visual Clarity – Clean, color-coded zones make it easy to identify potential entry and exit points.
Noise Reduction – Focuses only on the most impactful levels, eliminating irrelevant signals.
What Makes It Different?
Many indicators highlight price levels, but Institutional Price Blocks stands out by using an algorithm that waits for specific price behaviors before marking a zone. This means you're not just looking at random support or resistance—you're seeing areas where real institutional interest has been confirmed.
Verified Market Zones – Unlike traditional support/resistance indicators, these blocks appear only when the algorithm detects confirmed price movements, reflecting institutional participation.
Dynamic Adjustments – The algorithm isn’t static; it evolves with the market, ensuring the most current and relevant zones are always displayed.
High Respect from Price – These levels are consistently respected across different timeframes, making them reliable for entries, exits, and trend confirmation.
How to Use Institutional Price Blocks in Live Trading:
Spotting High-Probability Reversals:
🔶 When price approaches an Institutional Price Block, it often signals a potential reversal. These zones reflect areas of significant market interest, where large players are likely to defend their positions.
Identifying Continuation Opportunities:
🔶 If price breaks through an Institutional Price Block and later retests it, this can signal a continuation in the trend direction.
Precision Risk Management:
🔶 Place your stop-loss just outside these blocks, knowing that if price moves beyond the zone, the trade idea is invalidated.
Complementing Existing Strategies:
🔶 Combine Institutional Price Blocks with other tools like momentum indicators or trend analysis to strengthen your trading edge.

Midnight Range Standard DeviationsCredit to Lex Fx for the basic framework of this script
This indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying potential trading opportunities based on the Intraday Concurrency Technique (ICT) concepts, specifically the midnight range deviations and their relationship to Fibonacci levels. It builds upon the work of Lex-FX, whom we gratefully acknowledge for the original concept and inspiration for this indicator.
Core Concept: ICT Midnight Range
The core of this indicator revolves around the concept of the midnight range. According to ICT, the high and low formed in a specific time window (typically the first 30 minutes after midnight, New York Time) can serve as a key reference point for intraday price action. The indicator identifies this range and projects potential support and resistance levels based on deviations from this range, combined with Fibonacci ratios.
How ICT Uses Midnight Range Deviations
ICT methodology often involves looking for price to move away from the initial midnight range, then return to it, or deviate beyond it, as key areas for potential entries.
Range Identification: The indicator automatically identifies the high and low of the midnight range (00:00 - 00:30 NY Time).
Deviation Levels: The indicator calculates and displays deviation levels based on multiples of the initial midnight range. These levels are often used to identify potential areas of support and resistance, as well as potential targets for price movement. These levels can be set in the additional fib levels section, which can be configured in increments of .5 deviations all the way up to 12 deviations.
Fibonacci Confluence: ICT often emphasizes the confluence of multiple factors. This indicator adds Fibonacci levels to the midnight range deviations. This allows traders to identify areas where Fibonacci retracements or extensions align with the deviation levels, potentially creating stronger areas of support or resistance.
Looking for Sweeps: ICT often uses these levels to look for times that the high and low are swept as potential areas of liquidity, indicating the start of potential continuations.
Time-Based Analysis: The time at which price interacts with these levels can also be significant in ICT. The indicator provides options to extend the range lines to specific times (e.g., 3 hours, 6 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, or a custom defined time) after midnight, allowing traders to focus on specific periods of the trading day.
Indicator Settings Explained:
Time Zone (TZ): Defines the time zone used for calculating the midnight range. The default is "America/New_York".
Range High Color, Range Low Color, Range Mid Color: Customize the colors of the high, low, and mid-range lines.
Range Fill Color: Sets the fill color for the area between the range high and low.
Line Style: Choose the style of the range lines (solid, dashed, dotted).
Range Line Thickness: Adjust the thickness of the range lines for better visibility.
Show Fibonacci Levels: Enable or disable the display of Fibonacci deviation levels.
Fib Up Color, Fib Down Color: Customize the colors of the Fibonacci levels above (up) and below (down) the midnight range.
Show Trendline: Enables a trendline that plots the close price, colored according to whether the price is above the high, below the low, or within the midnight range.
Show Range Lines, Show Range Labels: Toggles the visibility of the range lines and their associated labels.
Label Size: Adjust the size of the labels for better readability.
Hide Prices: Option to display only the deviation values on labels, hiding price values.
Place Fibonacci Labels on Left Side: Option to switch label position from right side to left side.
Extend Range To (Hours from Midnight): This section gives you a wide variety of options on how far you want to extend the range to, you can do 3,6,10,12, and 23 hours. Alternatively, you can select the "Use Custom Length" and set a specific time in hours.
Additional Fib Levels: This section allows the trader to set additional deviation points in increments of .5 deviations from .5 all the way up to 12 deviations

Half Candle RetraceThis custom indicator draws a horizontal line at the 50% retracement level of each candlestick on the chart. It calculates the midpoint between the high and low of each candle, which is often used by traders to identify potential entry, exit and take-profit levels. Once price action returns to an untouched level, the line will be removed, leaving only the levels where price action is still missing.
Key Features:
Timeframe: Works on all timeframes.
Line Color: Customize the line color to suit your charting preferences.
Line Width: Adjust the thickness of the retracement line for better visibility.
Line Style: Choose between solid, dotted, or dashed lines.

Simple Setup: No complicated settings – simply choose your preferred color, line style, and visibility options.
This indicator is perfect for traders who prefer to use price action and retracement levels to identify potential trade opportunities.
How It Works:
The indicator automatically calculates the 50% level (midpoint) for each candlestick, drawing a line at this level. It will only draw lines for candles that match your chosen criteria (up or down candles), ensuring the chart remains clean and relevant to your trading strategy. Lines are automatically removed as soon as price crosses them.
Candle Partition Statistics with IQV and Chi2NOTE: THE FORMULA IN THE CHART IS NOT PART OF THE CODE
This Pine Script calculates statistical measures for candle partitions based on whether a candle is bullish or bearish and whether the price is above or below an EMA. It evaluates statistical properties such as the Index of Qualitative Variation (IQV) and the Chi-Square (χ²) statistic to assess variations in price action.
Concept of Index of Qualitative Variation (IQV)
IQV is a statistical measure used to quantify the diversity or dispersion of categorical variables. In this script, it is used to measure how evenly the four categories of candles (green above EMA, red above EMA, green below EMA, red below EMA) are distributed.
Purpose of IQV in the Script:
IQV ranges from 0 to 1, where 0 indicates no variation (one category dominates) and 1 indicates maximum variation (categories are equally distributed).
A high IQV suggests balanced distributions of bullish/bearish candles above/below the EMA, indicating market uncertainty or mixed sentiment.
A low IQV suggests dominance of a particular candle type, indicating a strong trend.
Concept of Chi-Square (χ²) Test
Chi-square (χ²) is a statistical test that measures the difference between expected and observed frequencies of categorical data. It assesses whether short-term price behavior significantly deviates from historical trends.
Purpose of Chi-Square in the Script:
A high χ² value means that short-term candle distributions are significantly different from historical patterns, indicating potential trend shifts.
If χ² exceeds a predefined significance threshold (chi_threshold), an alert (Chi² Alert!) is triggered.
It helps traders identify periods where recent price behavior deviates from historical norms, possibly signaling trend reversals or market regime changes.
Key Takeaways:
IQV helps measure the diversity of price action, detecting whether the market is balanced or trending.
Chi-square (χ²) identifies significant deviations in short-term price behavior compared to long-term trends.
Both metrics together provide insights into whether the market is stable, trending, or shifting.
The Nasan C-score enhances trend strength by incorporating volatility. It is calculated as:
enhanced_t_s =(𝑡𝑠 × avg_movement x 100)/SMA(𝑐lose)
Key Components:
𝑡𝑠 : Measures trend strength based on price movements relative to EMA.
ts=green_EMAup_a+0.5×red_EMAup_a−(0.5×green_EMAdown_a+red_EMAdown_a)
avg_movement: The SMA of absolute close-open differences, capturing volatility.
Normalization: The division by SMA(close) adjusts the score relative to price levels.
Purpose of the Nasan C-score
Enhanced Trend Strength
It amplifies the trend strength value by factoring in volatility (price movement).
If price volatility is high, trend strength variations have a greater impact.
Volatility-Adjusted Momentum
By scaling 𝑡𝑠 with average movement, the score adjusts to changing price dynamics.
Higher price fluctuations lead to a higher score, making trend shifts more prominent.
How It Can Be Used in Trading
Higher values of Nasan C-score indicate strong bullish or bearish trends.
Comparing it with past values helps determine whether momentum is increasing or fading.
Thresholds can be set to identify significant trend shifts based on historical highs and lows.
PumpC CBC EMAs + VWAPPumpC CBC EMAs + VWAP Indicator for Tradingview
Introduction
This is an indicator for the Candle By Candle (CBC) Flip strategy , based on the CBC Flip concept taught by MapleStax and inspired by the original CBC Flip indicator by AsiaRoo . The CBC Flip strategy is a simple yet effective approach to gauge if bulls or bears are in control for any given candle.
The logic behind the CBC Flip is as follows:
Bullish Flip : If the most recent candle’s close is above the previous candle’s high, bulls have taken control.
Bearish Flip : If the most recent candle’s close is below the previous candle’s low, bears are now in control.
No Flip : If neither condition is met, the previously dominant side (bulls or bears) remains in control until one of these conditions is satisfied, flipping the market sentiment—hence the name CBC Flip .
The PumpC CBC EMAs + VWAP Indicator enhances this simple strategy by adding trend confirmation filters using EMAs and VWAP , along with time-restricted signal generation and fully customizable alerts.
What Does This Indicator Do?
The PumpC CBC EMAs + VWAP Indicator helps traders identify CBC Flips to spot potential trend continuations or reversals. It combines candlestick logic , trend filters , and time-based restrictions to provide high-probability trade signals.
CBC Flip Detection
Bullish Flip : Current close is above the previous candle’s high.
Bearish Flip : Current close is below the previous candle’s low.
Strict Flips : Require a liquidity sweep for higher accuracy.
All Flips : Looser conditions that generate more frequent signals.
EMA and VWAP Trend Confirmation (Optional)
This filter ensures that long signals only trigger when the Slow EMA is above the VWAP , confirming an upward trend. For short signals, the Slow EMA must be below the VWAP.
Time-Based Filtering
The indicator allows you to set a specific trading window (e.g., 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM), helping you avoid low-volume or high-risk periods.
Visual Labels and Alerts
Labels : Arrows (▲ for long and ▼ for short) mark CBC Flip points on the chart.
Alerts : Fully customizable notifications for each signal type, based on your chosen filters.
Key Features
CBC Flip Detection : Identify potential reversals and trend continuations.

Internal Bar Strength (IBS) measures where the closing price falls within the high-low range of a bar. It is calculated as:
ibs = (close - low) / (high - low)
- Low IBS (≤ 0.2): Indicates the close is near the bar's low, suggesting oversold conditions.
- High IBS (≥ 0.8): Indicates the close is near the bar's high, suggesting overbought conditions.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. SHORT ENTRY
A Short Signal is triggered when:
The current bar’s low is below the lowest low of the past X bars (default: 10).
The bar’s IBS is greater than the specified threshold (default: 0.85).
The signal occurs within the defined trading window (between Start Time and End Time).
If the EMA Filter is enabled, the close must be below the 200-period EMA.
2. EXIT CONDITION
An exit Signal is generated when the current close falls below the previous bar’s low (close < low ), indicating a potential bearish reversal and prompting the strategy to close its short position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Lookback Period: Defines the number of bars (default is 10) over which the lowest low is calculated.
IBS Threshold: Sets the minimum required IBS value (default is 0.85) to qualify as a pullback.
Trading Window: Trades are only executed between the user-defined Start Time and End Time.
EMA Filter (Optional): When enabled, short entries are only considered if the current close is below the 200-period EMA, with the EMA period being adjustable (default is 200).
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
Designed for shorting opportunities, this strategy aims to capture pullbacks following an aggressive 10-bar low break.
It leverages a combination of a lookback low and IBS measurement to identify overextended bullish moves that may revert.
The optional EMA filter helps confirm a bearish market environment by ensuring the price remains under the trend line.
Suitable for use on various assets, including stocks and ETFs, on daily or similar timeframes.
Backtesting and parameter optimization are recommended to tailor the strategy to specific market conditions.
[SHORT ONLY] ATR Sell the Rip Mean Reversion Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "ATR Sell the Rip Mean Reversion Strategy" is a contrarian system that targets overextended price moves on stocks and ETFs. It calculates an ATR‐based trigger level to identify shorting opportunities. When the current close exceeds this smoothed ATR trigger, and if the close is below a 200-period EMA (if enabled), the strategy initiates a short entry, aiming to profit from an anticipated corrective pullback.
█ HOW IS THE ATR SIGNAL BAND CALCULATED?
This strategy computes an ATR-based signal trigger as follows:
Calculate the ATR
The strategy computes the Average True Range (ATR) using a configurable period provided by the user:
atrValue = ta.atr(atrPeriod)
Determine the Threshold
Multiply the ATR by a predefined multiplier and add it to the current close:
atrThreshold = close + atrValue * atrMultInput
Smooth the Threshold
Apply a Simple Moving Average over a specified period to smooth out the threshold, reducing noise:
signalTrigger = ta.sma(atrThreshold, smoothPeriodInput)
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. SHORT ENTRY
A Short Signal is triggered when:
The current close is above the smoothed ATR signal trigger.
The trade occurs within the specified trading window (between Start Time and End Time).
If the EMA filter is enabled, the close must also be below the 200-period EMA.
2. EXIT CONDITION
An exit Signal is generated when the current close falls below the previous bar’s low (close < low ), indicating a potential bearish reversal and prompting the strategy to close its short position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
ATR Period: The period used to calculate the ATR, allowing for adaptability to different volatility conditions (default is 20).
ATR Multiplier: The multiplier applied to the ATR to determine the raw threshold (default is 1.0).
Smoothing Period: The period over which the raw ATR threshold is smoothed using an SMA (default is 10).
Start Time and End Time: Defines the time window during which trades are allowed.
EMA Filter (Optional): When enabled, short entries are only executed if the current close is below the 200-period EMA, confirming a bearish trend.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for use on the Daily timeframe, targeting stocks and ETFs by capitalizing on overextended price moves.
It utilizes a dynamic, ATR-based trigger to identify when prices have potentially peaked, setting the stage for a mean reversion short entry.
The optional EMA filter helps align trades with broader market trends, potentially reducing false signals.
Backtesting is recommended to fine-tune the ATR multiplier, smoothing period, and EMA settings to match the volatility and behavior of specific markets.
[SHORT ONLY] Consecutive Bars Above MA Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "Consecutive Bars Above MA Strategy" is a contrarian trading system aimed at exploiting overextended bullish moves in stocks and ETFs. It monitors the number of consecutive bars that close above a chosen short-term moving average (which can be either a Simple Moving Average or an Exponential Moving Average). Once the count reaches a preset threshold and the current bar’s close exceeds the previous bar’s high within a designated trading window, a short entry is initiated. An optional EMA filter further refines entries by requiring that the current close is below the 200-period EMA, helping to ensure that trades are taken in a bearish environment.
█ HOW ARE THE CONSECUTIVE BULLISH COUNTS CALCULATED?
The strategy utilizes a counter variable, `bullCount`, to track consecutive bullish bars based on their relation to the short-term moving average. Here’s how the count is determined:
Initialize the Counter
The counter is initialized at the start:
var int bullCount = na
Bullish Bar Detection
For each bar, if the close is above the selected moving average (either SMA or EMA, based on user input), the counter is incremented:
bullCount := close > signalMa ? (na(bullCount) ? 1 : bullCount + 1) : 0
Reset on Non-Bullish Condition
If the close does not exceed the moving average, the counter resets to zero, indicating a break in the consecutive bullish streak.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. SHORT ENTRY
A short signal is generated when:
The number of consecutive bullish bars (i.e., bars closing above the short-term MA) meets or exceeds the defined threshold (default: 3).
The current bar’s close is higher than the previous bar’s high.
The signal occurs within the specified trading window (between Start Time and End Time).
Additionally, if the EMA filter is enabled, the entry is only executed when the current close is below the 200-period EMA.
2. EXIT CONDITION
An exit signal is triggered when the current close falls below the previous bar’s low, prompting the strategy to close the short position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Threshold: The number of consecutive bullish bars required to trigger a short entry (default is 3).
Trading Window: The Start Time and End Time inputs define when the strategy is active.
Moving Average Settings: Choose between SMA and EMA, and set the MA length (default is 5), which is used to assess each bar’s bullish condition.
EMA Filter (Optional): When enabled, this filter requires that the current close is below the 200-period EMA, supporting entries in a downtrend.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for stocks and ETFs and can be applied across various timeframes.
It seeks to capture mean reversion by shorting after a series of bullish bars suggests an overextended move.
The approach employs a contrarian short entry by waiting for a breakout (close > previous high) following consecutive bullish bars.
The adjustable moving average settings and optional EMA filter allow for further optimization based on market conditions.
Comprehensive backtesting is recommended to fine-tune the threshold, moving average parameters, and filter settings for optimal performance.
[SHORT ONLY] Consecutive Close>High[1] Mean Reversion Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "Consecutive Close > High " Mean Reversion Strategy is a contrarian daily trading system for stocks and ETFs. It identifies potential shorting opportunities by counting consecutive days where the closing price exceeds the previous day's high. When this consecutive day count reaches a predetermined threshold, and if the close is below a 200-period EMA (if enabled), a short entry is triggered, anticipating a corrective pullback.
█ HOW ARE THE CONSECUTIVE BULLISH COUNTS CALCULATED?
The strategy uses a counter variable called `bullCount` to track how many consecutive bars meet a bullish condition. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
Initialize the Counter
var int bullCount = 0
Bullish Bar Detection
Every time the close exceeds the previous bar's high, increment the counter:
if close > high
bullCount += 1
Reset on Bearish Bar
When there is a clear bearish reversal, the counter is reset to zero:
if close < low
bullCount := 0
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. SHORT ENTRY
A Short Signal is triggered when:
The count of consecutive bullish closes (where close > high ) reaches or exceeds the defined threshold (default: 3).
The signal occurs within the specified trading window (between Start Time and End Time).
2. EXIT CONDITION
An exit Signal is generated when the current close falls below the previous bar’s low (close < low ), prompting the strategy to exit the position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Threshold: The number of consecutive bullish closes required to trigger a short entry (default is 3).
Start Time and End Time: The time window during which the strategy is allowed to execute trades.
EMA Filter (Optional): When enabled, short entries are only triggered if the current close is below the 200-period EMA.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for Stocks and ETFs on the Daily timeframe and targets overextended bullish moves.
It aims to capture mean reversion by entering short after a series of consecutive bullish closes.
Further optimization is possible with additional filters (e.g., EMA, volume, or volatility).
Backtesting should be used to fine-tune the threshold and filter settings for specific market conditions.

OI RSI - WuJianDAOOI RSI (Open Interest Relative Strength Index)
Overview: OI RSI is a technical indicator that applies the RSI concept to open interest data.
Key Features:
Traditional vs. OI RSI:
Traditional RSI measures price movements to identify overbought or oversold conditions.
OI RSI computes the relative strength of open interest over a specified period.
Purpose:
Provides insights into market participation and sentiment by evaluating open interest levels.
Application:
Assists traders in detecting potential reversals or confirming trends based on open interest dynamics.
50% Candle RetraceThis custom indicator draws a horizontal line at the 50% retracement level of each candlestick on the chart. It calculates the midpoint between the high and low of each candle, which is often used by traders to identify potential entry, exit and take-profit levels. Once price action returns to an untouched level, the line will be removed, leaving only the levels where price action is still missing.
Key Features:
Timeframe: Works on all timeframes.
Line Color: Customize the line color to suit your charting preferences.
Line Width: Adjust the thickness of the retracement line for better visibility.
Line Style: Choose between solid, dotted, or dashed lines.
Up/Down Candle Selection: Option to only display retracement lines for up (bullish) candles, down (bearish) candles, or both.
Full Customization: Control the transparency (opacity) of the line for enhanced visual clarity.
Simple Setup: No complicated settings – simply choose your preferred color, line style, and visibility options.
This indicator is perfect for traders who prefer to use price action and retracement levels to identify potential trade opportunities.
How It Works:
The indicator automatically calculates the 50% level (midpoint) for each candlestick, drawing a line at this level. It will only draw lines for candles that match your chosen criteria (up or down candles), ensuring the chart remains clean and relevant to your trading strategy. Lines are automatically removed as soon as price crosses them.
Daily Bias IndicatorThe Daily Bias Indicator is a TradingView script designed to help traders identify bullish and bearish biases based on price action from the last two daily candles. It highlights market sentiment by checking whether price breaks key levels and reacts accordingly.
How It Works:
Bullish Bias:
The price breaks above the previous high and closes above it.
The price breaks below the previous low but fails to close lower.
Bearish Bias:
The price breaks below the previous low and closes below it.
The price breaks above the previous high but fails to close higher.
Labels appear red at the bottom for bearish bias on the next day and green for bullish bias on the next day.
CSR Ultimate (Final)This indicator calculates and displays a "Candle Strength Ratio" (CSR) to help you gauge bullish versus bearish momentum on a given timeframe. Here’s what it does:
*Multiple Calculation Methods:*
*You can choose among three different methods:*
-Classic CSR: Compares the difference between the upper and lower parts of the candle relative to its total range.
-Weighted Body CSR: Gives more weight to the candle’s body relative to its wicks.
-Close-Focused CSR: Focuses on the net movement from open to close relative to the full range.
*Optional Enhancements:*
The indicator allows you to enable additional features to refine it:
-Volume Weighting: Adjusts the CSR based on the ratio of current volume to a moving average of volume, so a candle on higher-than-average volume might carry more weight.
-ATR Normalization: Normalizes the CSR using the Average True Range (ATR) to account for market volatility.
-Multi-Bar Averaging: Averages the CSR over a specified number of bars to smooth out noise.
-RSI Filter: Optionally checks an RSI condition (bullish if RSI > 50 or bearish if RSI < 50) to help filter out signals that might not be supported by overall momentum.
*Visual and Alert Features:*
The indicator plots the CSR line with color coding (green for bullish, red for bearish) and draws horizontal threshold lines. It also adjusts the chart background color when the CSR exceeds defined bullish or bearish levels and provides alerts when these thresholds are crossed.
Inside Bars ITInside Bars IT Indicator
The Inside Bars IT indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify Inside Bars and their extended patterns (InsideBar2) on any chart. An Inside Bar is a candlestick pattern where the current candle's high is lower than the previous candle's high, and the current candle's low is higher than the previous candle's low. This pattern often signals market consolidation and potential breakout opportunities.
The indicator extends the concept of Inside Bars by introducing InsideBar2, which uses the high and low of the first Inside Bar as reference levels. Subsequent candles are classified as InsideBar2 if their high is less than or equal to the reference high and their low is greater than or equal to the reference low.
