Engulfing Sweeps - Milana TradesEngulfing Sweeps
The Engulfing Sweeps Candle is a candlestick pattern that:
1)Takes liquidity from the previous candle’s high or low.
2)Fully engulfs previous candles upon closing.
3)Indicates strong buying or selling pressure.
4)Helps determine the bias of the next candle.
Logic Behind Engulfing Sweeps
If you analyze this candle on a lower timeframe, you’ll often see popular models like PO3 (Power of Three) or AMD (Accumulation – Manipulation – Distribution).
Once the candle closes, the goal is to enter a position on the retracement of the distribution phase.
How to Use Engulfing Sweeps?
Recommended Timeframes:
4H, Daily, Weekly – these levels hold significant liquidity.
Personally, I prefer 4H, as it provides a solid view of mid-term market moves.
Step1 - Identify Engulfing Sweep Candle
Step 2-Switch to a lower timeframe (15m or 5m).And you task identify optimal trade entry
Look for an entry pattern based on:
FVG (Fair Value Gap)
OB (Order Block)
FIB levels (0/0.25/0.5/ 0.75/ 1)
Wait for confirmation and take the trade.
Automating with TradingView Alerts
To avoid missing the pattern, you can set up alerts using a custom script. Once the pattern forms, TradingView will notify you so you can analyze the chart and take action. This approch helps me be more freedom

TrendPredator FOTrendPredator Fakeout Highlighter (FO)
The TrendPredator Fakeout Highlighter is designed to enhance multi-timeframe trend analysis by identifying key market behaviors that indicate trend strength, weakness, and potential reversals. Inspired by Stacey Burke’s trading approach, this tool focuses on trend-following, momentum shifts, and trader traps, helping traders capitalize on high-probability setups.
At its core, this indicator highlights peak formations—anchor points where price often locks in trapped traders before making decisive moves. These principles align with George Douglas Taylor’s 3-day cycle and Steve Mauro’s BTMM method, making the FO Highlighter a powerful tool for reading market structure. As markets are fractal, this analysis works on any timeframe.
How It Works
The TrendPredator FO highlights key price action signals by coloring candles based on their bias state on the current timeframe.
It tracks four major elements:
Breakout/Breakdown Bars – Did the candle close in a breakout or breakdown relative to the last candle?
Fakeout Bars (Trend Close) – Did the candle break a prior high/low and close back inside, but still in line with the trend?
Fakeout Bars (Counter-Trend Close) – Did the candle break a prior high/low, close back inside, and against the trend?
Switch Bars – Did the candle lose/ reclaim the breakout/down level of the last bar that closed in breakout/down, signalling a possible trend shift?
Reading the Trend with TrendPredator FO
The annotations in this example are added manually for illustration.
- Breakouts → Strong Trend
Multiple candles closing in breakout signal a healthy and strong trend.
- Fakeouts (Trend Close) → First Signs of Weakness
Candles that break out but close back inside suggest a potential slowdown—especially near key levels.
- Fakeouts (Counter-Trend Close) → Stronger Reversal Signal
Closing against the trend strengthens the reversal signal.
- Switch Bars → Momentum Shift
A shift in trend is confirmed when price crosses back through the last closed breakout candles breakout level, trapping traders and fuelling a move in the opposite direction.
- Breakdowns → Trend Reversal Confirmed
Once price breaks away from the peak formation, closing in breakdown, the trend shift is validated.
Customization & Settings
- Toggle individual candle types on/off
- Customize colors for each signal
- Set the number of historical candles displayed
Example Use Cases
1. Weekly Template Analysis
The weekly template is a core concept in Stacey Burke’s trading style. FO highlights individual candle states. With this the state of the trend and the developing weekly template can be evaluated precisely. The analysis is done on the daily timeframe and we are looking especially for overextended situations within a week, after multiple breakouts and for peak formations signalling potential reversals. This is helpful for thesis generation before a session and also for backtesting. The annotations in this example are added manually for illustration.
📈 Example: Weekly Template Analysis snapshot on daily timeframe
2. High Timeframe 5-Star Setup Analysis (Stacey Burke "ain't coming back" ACB Template)
This analysis identifies high-probability trade opportunities when daily breakout or down closes occur near key monthly levels mid-week, signalling overextensions and potentially large parabolic moves. Key signals for this are breakout or down closes occurring on a Wednesday. This is helpful for thesis generation before a session and also for backtesting. The annotations in this example are added manually for illustration. Also an indicator can bee seen on this chart shading every Wednesday to identify the signal.
📉 Example: High Timeframe Setup snapshot
3. Low Timeframe Entry Confirmation
FO helps confirm entry signals after a setup is identified, allowing traders to time their entries and exits more precisely. For this the highlighted Switch and/ or Fakeout bars can be highly valuable.

No wick candlesОпис коду:
Цей скрипт для Pine Script v6 аналізує свічки на графіку і визначає свічки, що не мають фітіля знизу або згори. Він позначає їх відповідними маркерами та змінює колір свічок на помаранчевий для покращення видимості. Цей індикатор допомагає трейдерам ідентифікувати важливі зони на графіку, де свічки мають специфічні риси (без фітіля), і використовується для виявлення потенційних точок для подальших торгівельних рішень.
Що робить цей індикатор:
Зелені свічки без фітіля знизу: Це свічки, у яких ціна відкриття дорівнює мінімуму свічки. Вони позначаються зеленими стрілками під свічкою.
Червоні свічки без фітіля згори: Це свічки, у яких ціна відкриття дорівнює максимуму свічки. Вони позначаються червоними стрілками над свічкою.
Зміна кольору свічок: Свічки, що відповідають умовам (без фітіля знизу або згори), змінюють свій колір на помаранчевий для підвищення видимості та чіткого виділення важливих зон.
Як використовувати:
Цей індикатор допомагає вам ідентифікувати зони, де ціна не має фітіля знизу (для зелених свічок) або згори (для червоних свічок). Ці свічки можуть бути важливими для трейдерів, оскільки вони часто сигналізують про сильні рівні підтримки або опору, де ймовірно відбудеться ретест.
Важливо:
Чекати ретест зони: Після появи таких свічок (особливо у зонах підтримки або опору) можна очікувати, що ці рівні будуть перевірені ще раз. Якщо ціни повертаються до цих зон, це може бути сигналом для входу в ринок.
Торгівля на ретестах: Якщо ціна після першого відскоку знову наближається до цієї зони (де була свічка без фітіля), можна очікувати відскок або продовження тренду, що створює можливість для вхідної позиції.
_______________________________
Description:
This Pine Script v6 indicator analyzes the candles on the chart and identifies those that have no lower or upper wicks. It marks these candles with appropriate markers and changes the candle colors to orange for better visibility. This indicator helps traders identify important zones on the chart where candles exhibit specific characteristics (no wicks), which can be used to spot potential trading opportunities.
What this indicator does:
Green candles with no lower wick: These are candles where the opening price equals the low of the candle. They are marked with a green arrow below the candle.
Red candles with no upper wick: These are candles where the opening price equals the high of the candle. They are marked with a red arrow above the candle.
Candle color change: Candles that meet the conditions (no lower or upper wick) change their color to orange for better visibility and to clearly highlight important zones.
How to use:
This indicator helps you identify zones where prices have no lower wick (for green candles) or no upper wick (for red candles). These candles may be important for traders, as they often indicate strong support or resistance levels where a retest is likely to occur.
Important:
Wait for a zone retest: After these candles appear (especially at support or resistance zones), you can expect these levels to be tested again. If the price returns to these zones, it could signal an opportunity to enter the market.
Trading on retests: If the price approaches the zone (where a wickless candle occurred) again, it may indicate a bounce or trend continuation, which provides a potential entry point.
Smoothed EMA LinesThe "Smoothed EMA Lines" script is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify trends and potential support/resistance levels in financial markets. The script plots exponential moving averages (EMAs) of the closing price for five commonly used time periods: 8, 13, 21, 55, and 200.
Key features of the script include:
Overlay: The EMAs are plotted directly on the price chart, making it easy to analyze the relationship between the moving averages and price action.
Smoothing: The script applies an additional smoothing function to each EMA, using a simple moving average (SMA) of a user-defined length. This helps to reduce noise and provide a clearer picture of the trend.
Customizable lengths: Users can easily adjust the length of each EMA and the smoothing period through the script's input parameters.
Color-coded plots: Each EMA is assigned a unique color (8: blue, 13: green, 21: orange, 55: red, 200: purple) for easy identification on the chart.
Traders can use the "Smoothed EMA Lines" script to:
Identify the overall trend direction (bullish, bearish, or neutral) based on the arrangement of the EMAs.
Spot potential support and resistance levels where the price may interact with the EMAs.
Look for crossovers between EMAs as potential entry or exit signals.
Combine the EMA analysis with other technical indicators and price action patterns for a more comprehensive trading strategy.
The "Smoothed EMA Lines" script provides a clear, customizable, and easy-to-interpret visualization of key exponential moving averages, helping traders make informed decisions based on trend analysis.
Double Top/Bottom Fractals DetectorDouble Top/Bottom Detector with Williams Fractals (Extended + Early Signal)
This indicator combines the classic Williams Fractals methodology with an enhanced mechanism to detect potential reversal patterns—namely, double tops and double bottoms. It does so by using two separate detection schemes:
Confirmed Fractals for Pattern Formation:
The indicator calculates confirmed fractals using the traditional Williams Fractals rules. A fractal is confirmed if a bar’s high (for an up fractal) or low (for a down fractal) is the highest or lowest compared to a specified number of bars on both sides (default: 2 bars on the left and 2 on the right).
Once a confirmed fractal is identified, its price (high for tops, low for bottoms) and bar index are stored in an internal array (up to the 10 most recent confirmed fractals).
When a new confirmed fractal appears, the indicator compares it with previous confirmed fractals. If the new fractal is within a user-defined maximum bar distance (e.g., 20 bars) and the price difference is within a specified tolerance (default: 0.8%), the indicator assumes that a double top (if comparing highs) or a double bottom (if comparing lows) pattern is forming.
A signal is then generated by placing a label on the chart—SELL for a double top and BUY for a double bottom.
Early Signal Generation:
To capture potential reversals sooner, the indicator also includes an “early signal” mechanism. This uses asymmetric offsets different from the confirmed fractal calculation:
Signal Right Offset: Defines the candidate bar used for early signal detection (default is 1 bar).
Signal Left Offset: Defines the number of bars to the left of the candidate that must confirm the candidate’s price is the extreme (default is 2 bars).
For an early top candidate, the candidate bar’s high must be greater than the highs of the bars specified by the left offset and also higher than the bar immediately to its right. For an early bottom candidate, the corresponding condition applies for lows.
If the early candidate’s price level is within the acceptable tolerance when compared to any of the previously stored confirmed fractals (again, within the allowed bar distance), an early signal is generated—displayed as SELL_EARLY or BUY_EARLY.
The early signal block can be enabled or disabled via a checkbox input, allowing traders to choose whether to use these proactive signals.
Key Parameters:
n:
The number of bars used to confirm a fractal. The fractal is considered valid if the bar’s high (or low) is higher (or lower) than the highs (or lows) of the preceding and following n bars.
maxBarsApart:
The maximum number of bars allowed between two fractals for them to be considered part of the same double top or bottom pattern.
tolerancePercent:
The maximum allowed percentage difference (default: 0.8%) between the high (or low) values of two fractals to qualify them as matching for the pattern.
signalLeftOffset & signalRightOffset:
These parameters define the asymmetric offsets for early signal detection. The left offset (default: 2) specifies how many bars to look back, while the right offset (default: 1) specifies the candidate bar’s position.
earlySignalsEnabled:
A checkbox option that allows users to enable or disable early signal generation. When disabled, the indicator only uses confirmed fractal signals.
How It Works:
Fractal Calculation and Plotting:
The confirmed fractals are calculated using the traditional method, ensuring robust identification by verifying the pattern with a symmetrical offset. These confirmed fractals are plotted on the chart using triangle shapes (upwards for potential double bottoms and downwards for potential double tops).
Pattern Detection:
Upon detection of a new confirmed fractal, the indicator checks up to 10 previous fractals stored in internal arrays. If the new fractal’s high or low is within the tolerance range and close enough in terms of bars to one of the stored fractals, it signifies the formation of a double top or double bottom. A corresponding SELL or BUY label is then placed on the chart.
Early Signal Feature:
If enabled, the early signal block checks for candidate bars based on the defined asymmetric offsets. These candidates are evaluated to see if their high/low levels meet the early confirmation criteria relative to nearby bars. If they also match one of the confirmed fractal levels (within tolerance and bar distance), an early signal is issued with a label (SELL_EARLY or BUY_EARLY) on the chart.
Benefits for Traders:
Timely Alerts:
By combining both confirmed and early signals, the indicator offers a proactive approach to detect reversals sooner, potentially improving entry and exit timing.
Flexibility:
With adjustable parameters (including the option to disable early signals), traders can fine-tune the indicator to better suit different markets, timeframes, and trading styles.
Enhanced Pattern Recognition:
The dual-layered approach (confirmed fractals plus early detection) helps filter out false signals and captures the essential formation of double tops and bottoms more reliably.
200 EMA AlertHow It Works:
The 200 EMA calculates the average price over the last 200 periods, giving more weight to recent price movements for a smoother and more responsive trend line.
It helps traders determine whether the market is in a bullish (above 200 EMA) or bearish (below 200 EMA) phase.
Why Traders Use the 200 EMA:
✅ Trend Confirmation – If the price is above the 200 EMA, the trend is bullish; if below, the trend is bearish.
✅ Dynamic Support & Resistance – Price often reacts around the 200 EMA, making it a key level for entries and exits.
✅ Works on All Timeframes – Whether on the 1-minute chart or the daily timeframe, the 200 EMA is effective for scalping, swing trading, and long-term investing.
✅ Easy to Combine with Other Indicators – Traders pair it with RSI, MACD, or price action for stronger confirmation.
How to Use It in Trading:
📌 Trend Trading – Buy when price pulls back to the 200 EMA in an uptrend; sell when price retests it in a downtrend.
📌 Breakout Strategy – A strong candle breaking above/below the 200 EMA signals a possible trend reversal.
📌 Filtering Trades – Many traders only take long trades above and short trades below the 200 EMA to align with the overall market trend.
Conclusion:
The 200 EMA is an essential indicator for traders of all levels, offering clear trend direction, strong support/resistance zones, and trade filtering for better decision-making. Whether you're trading forex, stocks, or crypto, mastering the 200 EMA can give you a significant edge in the markets. 🚀📈

Fractal Breakout Trend Following System█ OVERVIEW
The Fractal Breakout Trend Following System is a custom technical analysis tool designed to pinpoint significant fractal pivot points and breakout levels. By analyzing price action through configurable pivot parameters, this indicator dynamically identifies key support and resistance zones. It not only marks crucial highs and lows on the chart but also signals potential trend reversals through real-time breakout detections, helping traders capture shifts in market momentum.
█ KEY FEATURES
Fractal Pivot Detection
Utilizes user-defined left and right pivot lengths to detect local highs (pivot highs) and lows (pivot lows). This fractal-based approach ensures that only meaningful price moves are considered, effectively filtering out minor market noise.
Dynamic Line Visualization
Upon confirmation of a pivot, the system draws a dynamic line representing resistance (from pivot highs) or support (from pivot lows). These lines extend across the chart until a breakout occurs, offering a continuous visual guide to key levels.
Trend Breakout Signals
Monitors for price crossovers relative to the drawn pivot lines. A crossover above a resistance line signals a bullish breakout, while a crossunder below a support line indicates a bearish move, thus updating the prevailing trend.
Pivot Labelling
Assigns labels such as "HH", "LH", "LL", or "HL" to detected pivots based on their relative values.
It uses the following designations:
HH (Higher High) : Indicates that the current pivot high is greater than the previous pivot high, suggesting continued upward momentum.
LH (Lower High) : Signals that the current pivot high is lower than the previous pivot high, which may hint at a potential reversal within an uptrend.
LL (Lower Low) : Shows that the current pivot low is lower than the previous pivot low, confirming sustained downward pressure.
HL (Higher Low) : Reveals that the current pivot low is higher than the previous pivot low, potentially indicating the beginning of an upward reversal in a downtrend.
These labels provide traders with immediate insight into the market structure and recent price behavior.
Customizable Visual Settings
Offers various customization options:
• Adjust pivot sensitivity via left/right pivot inputs.
• Toggle pivot labels on or off.
• Enable background color changes to reflect bullish or bearish trends.
• Choose preferred colors for bullish (e.g., green) and bearish (e.g., red) signals.
█ UNDERLYING METHODOLOGY & CALCULATIONS
Fractal Pivot Calculation
The script employs a sliding window technique using configurable left and right parameters to identify local highs and lows. Detected pivot values are sanitized to ensure consistency in subsequent calculations.
Dynamic Line Plotting
When a new pivot is detected, a corresponding line is drawn from the pivot point. This line extends until the price breaks the level, at which point it is reset. This method provides a continuous reference for support and resistance.
Trend Breakout Identification
By continuously monitoring price interactions with the pivot lines, the indicator identifies breakouts. A price crossover above a resistance line suggests a bullish breakout, while a crossunder below a support line indicates a bearish shift. The current trend is updated accordingly.
Pivot Label Assignment
The system compares the current pivot with the previous one to determine if the move represents a higher high, lower high, higher low, or lower low. This classification helps traders understand the underlying market momentum.
█ HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
1 — Apply the Indicator
• Add the Fractal Breakout Trend Following System to your chart to begin visualizing dynamic pivot points and breakout signals.
2 — Adjust Settings for Your Market
• Pivot Detection – Configure the left and right pivot lengths for both highs and lows to suit your desired sensitivity:
- Use shorter lengths for more responsive signals in fast-moving markets.
- Use longer lengths to filter out minor fluctuations in volatile conditions.
• Visual Customization – Toggle the display of pivot labels and background color changes. Select your preferred colors for bullish and bearish trends.
3 — Interpret the Signals
• Support & Resistance Lines – Observe the dynamically drawn lines that represent key pivot levels.
• Pivot Labels – Look for labels like "HH", "LH", "LL", and "HL" to quickly assess market structure and trend behavior.
• Trend Signals – Watch for price crossovers and corresponding background color shifts to gauge bullish or bearish breakouts.
4 — Integrate with Your Trading Strategy
• Use the identified pivot points as potential support and resistance levels.
• Combine breakout signals with other technical indicators for comprehensive trade confirmation.
• Adjust the sensitivity settings to tailor the indicator to various instruments and market conditions.
█ CONCLUSION
The Fractal Breakout Trend Following System offers a robust framework for identifying critical fractal pivot points and potential breakout opportunities. With its dynamic line plotting, clear pivot labeling, and customizable visual settings, this indicator equips traders with actionable insights to enhance decision-making and optimize entry and exit strategies.
Sweep DetectorThe Sweep Detector identifies liquidity sweeps by detecting when a swing high or low is broken only by the wick of a candle, ensuring the body does not close beyond the level. It highlights these sweep points with markers and draws a line from the broken level to the candle that triggered the sweep. This helps traders spot potential reversals and liquidity grabs in the market.
EMA 5 Alert Candle ShortThe 5 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) Strategy is a simple yet effective trading strategy that helps traders identify short-term trends and potential entry and exit points. This strategy is widely used in intraday and swing trading, particularly in forex, stocks, and crypto markets.
Components of the 5 EMA Strategy
5 EMA: A fast-moving average that reacts quickly to price movements.
15-minute or 1-hour timeframe (commonly used, but adaptable to other timeframes).
Candlestick Patterns: To confirm entry signals.
How the 5 EMA Strategy Works
Buy (Long) Setup:
Price Above the 5 EMA: The price should be trading above the 5 EMA.
Pullback to the 5 EMA: A minor retracement or consolidation near the 5 EMA.
Bullish Candlestick Confirmation: A bullish candle (e.g., engulfing or pin bar) forms near the 5 EMA.
Entry: Enter a long trade at the close of the bullish candle.
Stop Loss: Place below the recent swing low or 5-10 pips below the 5 EMA.
Take Profit: Aim for a risk-reward ratio of at least 1:2 or trail the stop using a higher EMA (e.g., 10 or 20 EMA).
Sell (Short) Setup:
Price Below the 5 EMA: The price should be trading below the 5 EMA.
Pullback to the 5 EMA: A small retracement towards the 5 EMA.
Bearish Candlestick Confirmation: A bearish candle (e.g., engulfing or pin bar) near the 5 EMA.
Entry: Enter a short trade at the close of the bearish candle.
Stop Loss: Place above the recent swing high or 5-10 pips above the 5 EMA.
Take Profit: Aim for a 1:2 risk-reward ratio or use a trailing stop.
Additional Filters for Better Accuracy
Higher Timeframe Confirmation: Check the trend on a higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour or 4-hour).
Volume Confirmation: Enter trades when volume is increasing.
Avoid Sideways Market: Use the strategy only when the market is trending.
Advantages of the 5 EMA Strategy
✔️ Simple and easy to use.
✔️ Works well in trending markets.
✔️ Helps traders capture short-term momentum.
Disadvantages
❌ Less effective in choppy or sideways markets.
❌ Requires discipline in following stop-loss rules.
FVG Breakout Lite by tradingbauhausExplanation of "FVG Breakout Lite by tradingbauhaus"
This script is a trading strategy built for TradingView that helps you spot and trade "Fair Value Gaps" (FVGs)—price areas where the market moved quickly, leaving a gap that might act as support or resistance later. It’s designed to catch breakout opportunities when the price moves strongly in one direction, with extra filters to make trades more reliable. Here’s how it works and how you can use it:
What It Does
1. Finds Fair Value Gaps (FVGs):
A "Bullish FVG" happens when the price jumps up quickly, leaving a gap below where it didn’t trade much (e.g., today’s low is higher than the high from two bars ago).
A "Bearish FVG" is the opposite: the price drops fast, leaving a gap above (e.g., today’s high is lower than the low from two bars ago).
The script draws colored boxes on your chart to show these gaps: green for bullish, red for bearish.
2. Spots Breakouts:
It looks for "strong" FVGs by comparing them to a trend (based on the highest highs and lowest lows over a set period).
If a bullish gap forms above the recent highs, or a bearish gap below the recent lows, it’s marked as a breakout opportunity.
3. Adds a Volume Check:
Trades only happen if the market’s volume is higher than usual (e.g., 1.2x the average volume over the last 20 bars). This helps ensure the breakout has real momentum behind it.
4. Trades Automatically:
Long Trades (Buy): If a bullish breakout FVG forms and volume is high, it buys at the current price.
Short Trades (Sell): If a bearish breakout FVG forms with high volume, it sells short.
Each trade comes with a stop loss (to limit losses) and a take profit (to lock in gains), both adjustable by you.
5. Shows Mitigation Lines (Optional):
If you turn on "Display Mitigation Zones," it draws lines at the edge of each breakout FVG. These lines show where the price might return to "fill" the gap later, helping you see key levels.
6. Includes Webull Costs:
The script factors in real trading fees from Webull, like tiny SEC and FINRA fees for selling, and a daily margin cost if you’re borrowing money to trade. These don’t show up on the chart but affect the strategy’s performance in backtesting.
How to Use It
1. Add to Your Chart:
Copy the script into TradingView’s Pine Editor, click "Add to Chart," and it’ll start drawing FVGs and running the strategy.
2. Customize Settings:
Trend Period (Default: 25): How many bars it looks back to define the trend. Longer periods mean fewer but stronger signals.
Volume Lookback (Default: 20) & Volume Threshold (Default: 1.2): Adjust how it measures "high volume." Increase the threshold for stricter trades.
Stop Loss % (Default: 1.5%) & Take Profit % (Default: 3%): Set how much you’re willing to lose or aim to gain per trade.
Margin Rate % (Default: 8.74%): Webull’s rate for borrowing money—lower it if your account qualifies for a better rate.
Display Mitigation Zones (Default: On): Toggle this to see or hide the gap lines.
Colors: Change the green (bullish) and red (bearish) shades to suit your chart.
3. Backtest It:
Go to the "Strategy Tester" tab in TradingView to see how it performs on past data. It’ll show trades, profits, losses, and Webull fees included.
4. Watch It Work:
Green boxes mean bullish FVGs; red boxes mean bearish FVGs. If volume spikes and the price breaks out, you’ll see trades happen automatically.
What to Expect
Visuals: You’ll see colored boxes for FVGs and optional lines showing where they start. These help you spot key price zones even if you’re not trading.
Trades: It’s selective—only trades when FVGs align with a breakout and volume confirms it. Expect fewer trades but with higher potential.
Risk: The stop loss keeps losses in check, while the take profit aims for a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio by default (3% gain vs. 1.5% loss).
Costs: Webull’s fees are small but baked into the results, so you’re seeing a realistic picture of profits.
Tips for Users
Test it on a small timeframe (like 5-minute charts) for day trading or a larger one (like daily) for swing trading.
Play with the volume threshold—if you get too few trades, lower it (e.g., 1.1); if too many, raise it (e.g., 1.5).
Watch how price reacts to the mitigation lines—they’re often support or resistance zones traders target.
This strategy is lightweight, focused, and built for traders who like breakouts with a bit of confirmation. It’s not foolproof (no strategy is!), but it gives you a clear way to trade FVGs with some smart filters.
RSI Trend Bias█ OVERVIEW

Color Code OverlayColor Code Overlay Indicator
The Color Code Overlay indicator is designed to provide a dynamic visualization of price action using color-coded candles. This overlay highlights trend reversals and bullish/bearish conditions by utilizing a custom candle calculation and the Average True Range (ATR) percentage threshold to detect significant price changes.
Key Features:
Custom Candle Calculation:
The Color Code Overlay is based on a modified candlestick calculation that takes the average of the open, high, low, and close prices to determine the candle’s close value. The open value is derived from the midpoint of the current candle's open and close or the previous Color Code Overlay close. The high and low values are based on the highest and lowest prices between the open, close, and the actual market high/low.
Color-Coding:
Green: The candle is colored green when the close is higher than the open, indicating a bullish trend.
Red: The candle is colored red when the close is lower than the open, indicating a bearish trend.
Color Change Detection:
The indicator detects significant color changes, signaling trend reversals. The transitions are determined based on the following conditions:
A bullish to bearish change (green to red) is identified when the current candle's close is lower than the open, and the price difference exceeds 1% of the candle's range (calculated using the current candle's high and low).
A bearish to bullish change (red to green) occurs when the current candle’s close is higher than the open, and the price difference also exceeds 1% of the candle's range.
Threshold Calculation:
The dynamic threshold for detecting significant price changes is based on the ATR percentage of the candle's range. By default, the indicator uses 1% of the range for detecting meaningful price movement. This ensures that only substantial changes trigger the color shifts, providing clear signals for potential trend reversals or market momentum.
Arrows for Color Changes:
A red triangle down is plotted above the bar when the color changes from green to red (bullish to bearish).
A green triangle up is plotted below the bar when the color changes from red to green (bearish to bullish).
Alerts:
The indicator includes alert conditions that notify you when:
The price is bullish (green candle).
The price is bearish (red candle).
There is a change from green to red (bullish to bearish).
There is a change from red to green (bearish to bullish).
How It Works:
The Color Code Overlay dynamically calculates the candle values based on market data and applies the ATR-based threshold to identify color changes. A shift from bullish to bearish or vice versa is only triggered when the price moves significantly beyond the calculated threshold, helping to avoid false signals from minor price fluctuations.
This indicator is particularly useful for traders looking to spot trend reversals and significant market shifts with a clear, color-coded visual representation of price action. The Color Code Overlay can be used alongside other technical indicators to enhance decision-making and improve trading strategies.
Color Code Overlay StrategyColor Code Overlay Strategy
This strategy utilizes a custom color-coded overlay to provide accurate buy and sell signals based on dynamic color changes of the candles. The indicator works by calculating a color shift between bullish (green) and bearish (red) candles, with the color change logic driven by both price movement and volatility.
How the Color Change is Calculated:
The color change is determined by comparing the closing price relative to the opening price of each candle, as is typical with a traditional bullish or bearish candle. However, to make this strategy more adaptive to market conditions, the color change is further refined by incorporating the Average True Range (ATR).
Volatility Adjusted Color Shift: The strategy calculates a dynamic threshold based on the ATR value, which represents market volatility. If the price movement between the open and close of the candle exceeds a specific percentage of the ATR, the color of the candle shifts from red (bearish) to green (bullish) or vice versa.
Threshold Calculation: A fixed percentage (e.g., 1%) of the ATR range is used to define the minimum price movement required for a color change. This ensures that only significant price movements, adjusted for volatility, trigger the color shift. The larger the ATR (higher volatility), the greater the price movement required to cause a change in color.
Bullish to Bearish (Green to Red): When the candle closes lower than the open, and the price movement exceeds the dynamic threshold based on ATR, the candle color changes from green to red, signaling a potential bearish reversal.
Bearish to Bullish (Red to Green): When the candle closes higher than the open, and the price movement exceeds the ATR-based threshold, the candle color shifts from red to green, signaling a potential bullish reversal.
Key Features:
Dynamic Color Change: The strategy identifies key color changes from bullish to bearish (green to red) and from bearish to bullish (red to green) based on specific thresholds in candle size.
Customizable Timeframe: You can specify a custom trading window to restrict the strategy’s actions to specific hours of the day.
Stop Loss and Take Profit: The strategy incorporates risk management features, allowing you to set a stop loss and take profit based on the price in pips.
Flexible Trade Types: Choose between "Both" (long and short), "Long Only," or "Short Only" trading options to suit your preferred trading style.
Visual Alerts: Receive visual alerts with arrows when color changes occur, signaling potential trade opportunities. Green arrows indicate a bullish shift, while red arrows show a bearish shift.
This strategy is ideal for traders who prefer a color-coded overlay to easily visualize price action and make informed decisions based on bullish or bearish trends. Whether you’re looking for quick, short-term opportunities or analyzing market reversals, this strategy offers an intuitive approach to identifying trade signals.

Percentage Based ZigZag█ OVERVIEW
The Percentage-Based ZigZag indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed to highlight significant price reversals while filtering out market noise. Unlike many standard zigzag tools that rely solely on fixed price moves or generic trend-following methods, this indicator uses a configurable percentage threshold to dynamically determine meaningful pivot points. This approach not only adapts to different market conditions but also helps traders distinguish between minor fluctuations and truly significant trend shifts—whether scalping on shorter timeframes or analyzing longer-term trends.
█ KEY FEATURES & ORIGINALITY
Dynamic Pivot Detection
The indicator identifies pivot points by measuring the percentage change from the previous extreme (high or low). Only when this change exceeds a user-defined threshold is a new pivot recognized. This method ensures that only substantial moves are considered, making the indicator robust in volatile or noisy markets.
Enhanced ZigZag Visualization
By connecting significant highs and lows with a continuous line, the indicator creates a clear visual map of price swings. Each pivot point is labelled with the corresponding price and the percentage change from the previous pivot, providing immediate quantitative insight into the magnitude of the move.
Trend Reversal Projections
In addition to marking completed reversals, the script computes and displays potential future reversal points based on the current trend’s momentum. This forecasting element gives traders an advanced look at possible turning points, which can be particularly useful for short-term scalping strategies.
Customizable Visual Settings
Users can tailor the appearance by:
• Setting the percentage threshold to control sensitivity.
• Customizing colors for bullish (e.g., green) and bearish (e.g., red) reversals.
• Enabling optional background color changes that visually indicate the prevailing trend.
█ UNDERLYING METHODOLOGY & CALCULATIONS
Percentage-Based Filtering
The script continuously monitors price action and calculates the relative percentage change from the last identified pivot. A new pivot is confirmed only when the price moves a preset percentage away from this pivot, ensuring that minor fluctuations do not trigger false signals.
Pivot Point Logic
The indicator tracks the highest high and the lowest low since the last pivot. When the price reverses by the required percentage from these extremes, the algorithm:
1 — Labels the point as a significant high or low.
2 — Draws a connecting line from the previous pivot to the current one.
3 — Resets the extreme-tracking for detecting the next move.
Real-Time Reversal Estimation
Building on traditional zigzag methods, the script incorporates a projection calculation. By analyzing the current trend’s strength and recent percentage moves, it estimates where a future reversal might occur, offering traders actionable foresight.
█ HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
1 — Apply the Indicator
• Add the Percentage-Based ZigZag indicator to your trading chart.
2 — Adjust Settings for Your Market
• Percentage Move – Set a threshold that matches your trading style:
- Lower values for sensitive, high-frequency analysis (ideal for scalping).
- Higher values for filtering out noise on longer timeframes.
• Visual Customization – Choose your preferred colors for bullish and bearish signals and enable background color changes for visual trend cues.
• Reversal Projection – Enable or disable the projection feature to display potential upcoming reversal points.
3 — Interpret the Signals
• ZigZag Lines – White lines trace significant high-to-low or low-to-high movements, visually connecting key swing points.
• Pivot Labels – Each pivot is annotated with the exact price level and percentage change, providing quantitative insight into market momentum.
• Trend Projections – When enabled, projected reversal levels offer insight into where the current trend might change.
4 — Integrate with Your Trading Strategy
• Use the indicator to identify support and resistance zones derived from significant pivots.
• Combine the quantitative data (percentage changes) with your risk management strategy to set optimal stop-loss and take-profit levels.
• Experiment with different threshold settings to adapt the indicator for various instruments or market conditions.
█ CONCLUSION
The Percentage-Based ZigZag indicator goes beyond traditional trend-following tools by filtering out market noise and providing clear, quantifiable insights into price action. With its percentage threshold for pivot detection and real-time reversal projections, this original methodology and customizable feature set offer traders a versatile edge for making informed trading decisions.
Anchor Buy Sell LevelsDaily Validity:
The indicator generates a single horizontal line (either a Buy Level or a Sell Level) that remains valid throughout the entire trading day.
Source of the Signal:
The level (buy or sell) is determined using candles that were generated before the day in question.
Selection Logic:
When determining the level, the indicator checks past candles in descending order (from the most recent backward).
The very first candle encountered that meets the respective logic (either the buy or sell condition) sets the level.
Buy and Sell Logic:
Buy Signal: Generated when a candle’s close is lower than both the previous candle’s close and the next candle’s close (i.e., a local minimum). The Buy Level is drawn at the low of that qualifying candle.
Sell Signal: Generated when a candle’s close is higher than both the previous candle’s close and the next candle’s close (i.e., a local maximum). The Sell Level is drawn at the high of that qualifying candle.
One Signal per Day:
For any given day, the indicator will display either a Buy Level or a Sell Level—not both. The decision is based on which qualifying candle (and its corresponding condition) is found first when scanning the historical data in descending order.

Custom Buy and Sell Signal with Body Ratio and RSI
Indicator Overview:
Name: Custom Buy and Sell Signal with Body Ratio and RSI
Description: This indicator is designed to detect buy and sell opportunities by analyzing the body size and wicks of candles in combination with the RSI indicator and volume. It helps identify trend reversals under high-volume market conditions, which enhances the reliability of the signals.
Indicator Features:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): The RSI indicator is used to assess oversold (RSI < 40) or overbought (RSI > 60) conditions. These zones signal potential reversals when combined with other technical signals.
Candle Body Analysis:
The indicator compares the size of the current and previous candles to validate signals.
For a buy signal, the current candle must be bullish and have a body size proportional to that of the previous bearish candle.
Similarly, for a sell signal, the current candle must be bearish with a body size comparable to the previous bullish candle.
Wick Validation:
The indicator analyzes the wick length to reinforce or exclude signals.
For a buy signal, the lower wick of the bullish candle must be shorter than that of the previous bearish candle.
For a sell signal, the upper wick of the bearish candle must be shorter than that of the previous bullish candle and smaller than 30% of the candle's body.
High Volume:
Signals are only generated when the volume exceeds a certain threshold, ensuring that signals are issued in active market conditions.
The minimum volume should be adjusted based on the asset. For example, for gold, a minimum volume of 9000 is recommended.
Trading Strategy:
Buy Signals:
A bearish (red) candle is followed by a bullish (green) candle with a body size that is comparable to the previous candle (0.9 to 3 times the body size).
The lower wick of the bullish candle is shorter than that of the previous bearish candle, confirming the validity of the signal.
The RSI must be below 40, indicating an oversold condition.
The volume must exceed the defined threshold (e.g., > 9000 for gold) to confirm an active market.
Sell Signals:
A bullish (green) candle is followed by a bearish (red) candle with a comparable body size.
The upper wick of the bearish candle must be shorter than that of the previous bullish candle and must not exceed 30% of the body size.
The RSI must be above 60, indicating an overbought condition.
The volume must also exceed the minimum threshold for a valid signal.
Usage Guidelines:
Volume Adjustment: It is crucial to adjust the volume threshold depending on the asset you're trading. For example, for assets like gold, a minimum volume of 9000 is recommended to filter out weak signals. Each asset has a different volume dynamic, so test different thresholds on historical data to find the optimal setting.
Time Frame:
It is recommended to use this indicator on a 1-hour (1H) chart for the best signal relevance. This time frame provides a good balance between reactivity and filtering false signals.
Confluence:
Combine the signals from this indicator with other tools like support and resistance levels, moving averages, or chart patterns to increase your chances of success. Confluence of indicators improves the reliability of signals.
Risk Management:
Implement strict risk management. Use stop-losses based on volatility, such as ATR (Average True Range), or the wick size to determine exit points.
Backtesting:
Before using it live, conduct backtesting on various assets to fine-tune the parameters, especially the volume threshold, and to verify performance across different market conditions.
This indicator is an excellent tool for traders looking to identify trend reversals based on solid technical criteria such as RSI, candle structure, and volume. It is particularly effective on volatile assets with precise volume adjustment.
