Prospect Theory IndicatorProspect Theory Indicator
This indicator is designed based on Prospect Theory, which was developed by Nobel laureates Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. Prospect Theory explains how people make decisions involving risk and uncertainty, highlighting their tendency to value potential losses more than equivalent gains and their focus on relative gains and losses rather than absolute outcomes.
Features:
1. Reference Points: The indicator calculates and displays the highest and lowest prices over a specified period (default is 14 periods). These are the reference points used to evaluate current price movements.
2. Risk/Reward Ratio: It calculates the risk/reward ratio by comparing the current price to the reference points. The risk is defined as the distance to the lowest point, and the reward as the distance to the highest point.
3. Visual Indicators:
• Green Line: Indicates the highest reference point (High Reference Point).
• Red Line: Indicates the lowest reference point (Low Reference Point).
• Green Triangle: Displays when the reward outweighs the risk, suggesting a favorable condition for entering a trade.
• Red Triangle: Displays when the risk outweighs the reward, suggesting a cautious approach.
4. Labels: Provides real-time labels showing the risk/reward ratio, and marks the current conditions as “High Risk” or “High Reward” based on the calculated ratio.
Usage:
• Entry Signals: Use green triangles for potential buy entries when the reward is higher than the risk.
• Exit Signals: Use red triangles as a signal to review your positions, as the risk has become higher than the reward.
• Risk Management: Continuously monitor the risk/reward ratio to maintain optimal risk management in your trading strategy.
This indicator helps traders make more informed and objective decisions, mitigating the emotional biases described by Prospect Theory.
Chart patterns
[SGM Ordinal Patterns]An ordinal pattern is a concept used in mathematics and time series analysis. It is a way of describing the relative order of values in a sequence. Rather than focusing on the exact values, we are interested in how they compare to each other.
An ordinal pattern will tell you how these values are positioned relative to each other.
We do not look at the exact values, but only their order.
Concrete Example
• 4 (position 1 in the original sequence) is in position 2 in the ordered sequence.
• 7 (position 2 in the original sequence) is in position 3 in the ordered sequence.
• 2 (position 3 in the original sequence) is in position 1 in the ordered sequence.
The ordinal pattern for this sequence is then (2,3,1)(2, 3, 1)(2,3,1).
Script Explanation
This script analyzes ordinal patterns based on the closing prices of the last three bars and calculates the future gains associated with each ordinal pattern.
The main elements of the script are:
1. ordinal_pattern Function:
o Determines the ordinal pattern based on three past closing values.
o Returns an index (from 0 to 5) corresponding to one of the six possible ordinal patterns.
2. Calculations and Storage:
o For each new bar, the last three closes are used to identify the ordinal pattern.
o Future gains are calculated and associated with the previous ordinal pattern.
o Return statistics (mean, standard deviation and Sharpe ratio) are calculated for each pattern.
3. Visualization:
o Draws lines connecting the last three closes.
o Tables displaying the number of occurrences, distributions, and return statistics for each ordinal pattern.
What the Script Shows:
• Table motifs_table : Number of occurrences and distribution of each ordinal pattern. An uneven distribution between patterns (different by one sixth for each pattern) can indicate market inefficiency.
• Table pattern_analysis : Analysis of returns (mean, standard deviation, Sharpe ratio) for each ordinal pattern.
• Table current_motif_table : Ordinal pattern of the last bar.
This script helps to understand and visualize how ordinal patterns influence future returns of financial asset prices. An uneven distribution of patterns can indicate market inefficiencies.
Bullish Breakout After ConsolidationDescription:
The Bullish Breakout After Consolidation Indicator is designed to help traders identify potential bullish breakout opportunities following a period of tight price consolidation. This indicator combines price action and volume analysis to signal when a stock may experience a significant upward movement.
Features:
Consolidation Range Tightness: The indicator identifies periods where the stock price consolidates within a narrow range, defined as a range less than 2% of the lowest low during the consolidation period. This tight consolidation is often a precursor to strong price movements.
Breakout Detection: Once the price breaks above the highest high of the consolidation range, and this breakout occurs after a specified number of days post-consolidation, the indicator marks it as a potential breakout opportunity.
Volume Confirmation: To avoid false breakouts, the indicator requires increased trading volume during the breakout. This ensures that the breakout is supported by substantial market activity.
Visual Cues:
Breakout Label: A "Breakout" label appears above the bar where a valid breakout occurs, making it easy to spot potential entry points.
Support and Resistance Lines: Horizontal lines plot the highest high (resistance) and lowest low (support) during the consolidation period, helping traders visualize the breakout levels.
Moving Averages: Optional 20-day and 50-day simple moving averages are plotted for additional trend confirmation.
How to Use:
Apply the Indicator: Add the indicator to your chart in TradingView to start analyzing potential breakouts.
Observe Consolidation: Look for tight consolidation periods where the price trades within a narrow range.
Identify Breakouts: Watch for breakouts where the price moves above the highest high of the consolidation range, supported by increased volume.
Confirm with Labels: The "Breakout" label will help you quickly identify valid breakout signals.
Parameters:
Consolidation Length: Number of days to consider for consolidation.
Range Percentage: Maximum percentage range for consolidation tightness.
Days After Consolidation: Number of days post-consolidation to check for the breakout.
Note: As with any trading tool, it is important to use this indicator as part of a broader trading strategy and in conjunction with other forms of analysis.

Entropy Volatility Index [CHE]I Entropy Volatility Index (EVI)
II An Experimental Script for Measuring Market Volatility
III Introduction
The Entropy Volatility Index (EVI) is an experimental indicator based on concepts from thermodynamics and information theory. The goal of the EVI is to quantify market uncertainty and volatility by calculating the entropy of price changes.
IV Basic Concepts
Entropy in Thermodynamics
Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system.
The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy in a closed system tends to increase over time.
Entropy in Information Theory
In information theory, entropy measures the uncertainty or information content of a random variable.
The entropy H of a random variable X with probability distribution P(x) is calculated as:
H(X) = -∑ P(x) log P(x)
V Derivation of the EVI
Calculation of Price Changes
Absolute price changes are calculated to serve as the basis for probability calculations.
Creation of the Histogram
A histogram is created and initialized to count the frequency of price changes.
Updating the Histogram
The histogram is updated by counting the frequency of each price change.
Calculation of Probabilities
The probabilities of the price changes are calculated based on their frequencies in the histogram.
Calculation of Entropy
Entropy is calculated using the probabilities of price changes. Higher entropy indicates higher uncertainty or disorder in the market.
Plotting the Indicator
The EVI is plotted to visually represent market volatility and uncertainty.
VI Interpretation of the EVI
High EVI Values
High Volatility: Strong and irregular price movements.
High Uncertainty: Increased market uncertainty.
Possible Market Turning Points: Indicators of potential trend changes.
Low EVI Values
Low Volatility: More consistent and predictable price movements.
Stability: More stable market phases.
Trend Consistency: Indicators of stable trends or sideways movements.
VII Conclusion
The Entropy Volatility Index (EVI) is an experimental script that applies concepts from thermodynamics and information theory to measure market volatility. It offers a new perspective on market uncertainty and can be used as an additional tool for traders.
VIII Example Use Cases
Identifying Volatile Phases: Use the EVI to identify periods of high volatility and prepare for potential rapid price movements.
Risk Management: Adjust your risk management strategy based on the EVI. During high EVI periods, consider hedging positions or adjusting position sizes.
Complementing Other Indicators: Combine the EVI with other technical indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD) for a more comprehensive view of market conditions.
I hope this experimental script provides valuable insights. Thank you for your feedback and suggestions for improvement.

Prometheus Black-Scholes Option PricesThe Black-Scholes Model is an option pricing model developed my Fischer Black and Myron Scholes in 1973 at MIT. This is regarded as the most accurate pricing model and is still used today all over the world. This script is a simulated Black-Scholes model pricing model, I will get into why I say simulated.
What is an option?
An option is the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell 100 shares of a certain stock, for calls or puts respective, at a certain price, on a certain date (assuming European style options, American options can be exercised early). The reason these agreements, these contracts exist is to provide traders with leverage. Buying 1 contract to represent 100 shares of the underlying, more often than not, at a cheaper price. That is why the price of the option, the premium , is a small number. If an option costs $1.00 we pay $100.00 for it because 100 shares * 1 dollar per share = 100 dollars for all the shares. When a trader purchases a call on stock XYZ with a strike of $105 while XYZ stock is trading at $100, if XYZ stock moves up to $110 dollars before expiration the option has $5 of intrinsic value. You have the right to buy something at $105 when it is trading at $110. That agreement is way more valuable now, as a result the options premium would increase. That is a quick overview about how options are traded, let's get into calculating them.
Inputs for the Black-Scholes model
To calculate the price of an option we need to know 5 things:
Current Price of the asset
Strike Price of the option
Time Till Expiration
Risk-Free Interest rate
Volatility
The price of a European call option 𝐶 is given by:
𝐶 = 𝑆0 * Φ(𝑑1) − 𝐾 * 𝑒^(−𝑟 * 𝑇) * Φ(𝑑2)
where:
𝑆0 is the current price of the underlying asset.
𝐾 is the strike price of the option.
𝑟 is the risk-free interest rate.
𝑇 is the time to expiration.
Φ is the cumulative distribution function of the standard normal distribution.
𝑑1 and 𝑑2 are calculated as:
𝑑1 = (ln(𝑆0 / 𝐾) + (𝑟 + (𝜎^2 / 2)) * 𝑇) / (𝜎 * sqrt(𝑇))
𝑑2= 𝑑1 - (𝜎 * sqrt(𝑇))
𝜎 is the volatility of the underlying asset.
The price of a European put option 𝑃 is given by:
𝑃 = 𝐾 * 𝑒^(−𝑟 * 𝑇) * Φ(−𝑑2) − 𝑆0 * Φ(−𝑑1)
where 𝑑1 and 𝑑2 are as defined above.
Key Assumptions of the Black-Scholes Model
The price of the underlying asset follows a lognormal distribution.
There are no transaction costs or taxes.
The risk-free interest rate and volatility of the underlying asset are constant.
The underlying asset does not pay dividends during the life of the option.
The markets are efficient, meaning that all known information is already reflected in the prices.
Options can only be exercised at expiration (European-style options).
Understanding the Script
Here I have arrows pointing to specific spots on the table. They point to Historical Volatility and Inputted DTE . Inputted DTE is a value the user may input to calculate premium for options that expire in that many days. Historical Volatility , is the value calculated by this code.
length = 252 // One year of trading days
hv = ta.stdev(math.log(close / close ), length) * math.sqrt(365)
And then made daily like the Black-Scholes model needs from this step in the code.
hv_daily = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "1D", hv)
The user has the option to input their own volatility to the Script. I will get into why that may be advantageous in a moment. If the user chooses to do so the Script will change which value it is using as so.
hv_in_use = which_sig == false ? hv_daily : sig
There is a lot going on in this image but bare with me, it will all make sense by the end. The column to the far left of both the green and maroon colored columns represent the strike price of the contract, if the numbers are white that means the contract is out of the money, gray means in the money. If you remember from the calculation this represents the price to buy or sell shares at, for calls or puts respective. The column second from the left shows a value for Simulated Market Price . This is a necessary part of this script so we can show changes in implied volatility. See, when we go to our brokerages and look at options prices, sure the price was calculated by a pricing model, but that is rarely the true price of the model. Market participant sentiment affects this value as their estimates for future volatility, Implied Volatility changes.
For example, if a call option is supposed to be worth $1.00 from the pricing model, however everyone is bullish on the stock and wants to buy calls, the premium may go to $1.20 from $1.00 because participants juice up the Implied Volatility . Higher Implied Volatility generally means higher premium, given enough time to expiration. Buying an option at $0.80 when it should be worth $1.00 due to changes in sentiment is a big part of the Quant Trading industry.
Of course I don't have access to an actual exchange so get prices, so I modeled participant decisions by adding or subtracting a small random value on the "perfect premium" from the Black-Scholes model, and solving for implied volatility using the Newton-Raphson method.
It is like when we have speed = distance / time if we know speed and time , we can solve for distance .
This is what models the changing Implied Volatility in the table. The other column in the table, 3rd from the left, is the Black-Scholes model price without the changes of a random number. Finally, the 4th column from the left is that Implied Volatility value we calculated with the modified option price.
More on Implied Volatility
Implied Volatility represents the future expected volatility of an asset. As it is the value in the future it is not know like Historical Volatility, only projected. We provide the user with the option to enter their own Implied Volatility to start with for better modeling of options close to expiration. If you want to model options 1 day from expiration you will probably have to enter a higher Implied Volatility so that way the prices will be higher. Since the underlying is so close to expiration they are traded so much and traders manipulate their Implied Volatility , increasing their value. Be safe while trading these!
Thank you all for clicking on my indicator and reading this description! Happy coding, Happy trading, Be safe!

Gartley Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Harmonic Chart patterns🔵 Introduction
Research by H.M. Gartley and Scott Carney emphasizes the importance of harmonic patterns in technical analysis for predicting market movements. Gartley's work, particularly the Gartley 222 pattern, is detailed in his book "Profits in the Stock Market" and relies on the specific placement of points X, A, B, C, and D.
🟣 Defining the Gartley Pattern
The Gartley pattern is a powerful technical analysis tool often seen at the end of a trend, signaling a potential reversal. Ideally, it forms during the first and second waves of Elliott Wave theory, with wave XA representing wave 1 and the entire ABCD correction representing wave 2.
While patterns outside this structure are also valid, the key points of the Gartley pattern align closely with Fibonacci retracement levels. Specifically, point B corrects wave XA to the 61.8% level, point C lies between 38% and 79% of wave AB, and point D extends between 113% and 162% of wave BC.
The bullish Gartley pattern, shown below, forms at the end of a downtrend and signals a potential buying opportunity.
Bullish :
Bearish :
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Bullish Gartley Pattern
To spot a bullish Gartley pattern, follow these rules: the move from point X to point A (the first leg) must be upward. The subsequent move from point A to point B is downward, followed by an upward move from point B to point C.
Finally, the move from point C to point D is downward. On a chart, this pattern resembles the letter M. After the final leg of this pattern, prices are expected to rise from point D.
🟣 Bearish Gartley Pattern
A bearish Gartley pattern forms similarly to the bullish one but in reverse. The initial move from point X to point A should be downward. The next move from point A to point B is upward, followed by a downward move from point B to point C.
The final leg moves upward from point C to point D. This pattern appears as a W on charts, indicating that prices are likely to fall from point D after the final move.
By understanding and identifying Gartley patterns, traders can enhance their technical analysis and improve their decision-making in financial markets. These patterns, when correctly identified, offer significant insights into potential market reversals and continuation patterns.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Logical Setting
ZigZag Pivot Period : You can adjust the period so that the harmonic patterns are adjusted according to the pivot period you want. This factor is the most important parameter in pattern recognition.
Show Valid Format : If this parameter is on "On" mode, only patterns will be displayed that they have exact format and no noise can be seen in them. If "Off" is, the patterns displayed that maybe are noisy and do not exactly correspond to the original pattern
Show Formation Last Pivot Confirm : if Turned on, you can see this ability of patterns when their last pivot is formed. If this feature is off, it will see the patterns as soon as they are formed. The advantage of this option being clear is less formation of fielded patterns, and it is accompanied by the latest pattern seeing and a sharp reduction in reward to risk.
Period of Formation Last Pivot : Using this parameter you can determine that the last pivot is based on Pivot period.
🟣 Genaral Setting

MACD with SAR Indicator [CHE] MACD with SAR Indicator
Introduction
"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. " The "MACD with SAR Indicator" is an innovative technical analysis tool that combines the strengths of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator with the Parabolic Stop and Reverse (SAR) indicator. This indicator provides traders with an enhanced method to detect trend changes and determine optimal entry and exit points in the market by using the SAR based on the MACD line to better identify reversal points. The combination generates clear trend reversal signals, which are visually represented through long (L) and short (S) signals on the chart.
Originality and Usefulness
This indicator differs from traditional MACD or SAR indicators by combining the trend-following calculations of the SAR with the trend strength and momentum calculations of the MACD. This enables a more precise identification of trend changes and provides clear buy and sell signals, which is particularly useful for manual traders.
Key Features and Functionality
1. Combination of MACD and SAR
- Why this Combination?: The MACD is known for its ability to measure the strength and direction of a trend, while the SAR is specifically designed to identify reversal points. By combining these two indicators, traders can better understand both the trend strength and potential turning points in the market.
- How Components Work Together: The MACD measures the difference between fast and slow moving averages, indicating market momentum. The SAR follows the MACD line instead of the price and marks potential reversal points more accurately. When the MACD signals a new trend and the SAR confirms it, the indicator provides reliable trading opportunities.
2. Adjustable Parameters
- MACD Settings: Users can adjust the lengths of the fast and slow moving averages (default: 28 and 38 periods) and the signal smoothing (default: 9 periods) to tailor the indicator to different market conditions.
- SAR Settings: Users can adjust the start value (default: 0.01), increment (default: 0.01), and maximum value (default: 0.18) of the SAR to control sensitivity and responsiveness.
3. Visual Representation and Signals
- Color-Coded Histograms: The histogram shows the difference between the MACD and signal line and is color-coded to highlight the direction of the trend.
- Signal Labels: The indicator automatically adds "L" (Long) and "S" (Short) labels on the chart to show the current positions to traders.
4. Alert Settings
- Custom Alerts: Alerts can be set to notify traders when the MACD and SAR experience significant state changes, such as when the histogram switches from rising to falling or vice versa.
5. Toggle Display
- Display Mode: Users can toggle the display of the MACD_SAR oscillator and MACD to focus on the information most relevant to their trading strategy.
Application and Benefits
- Versatility: This indicator can be used in various market conditions and for different trading strategies, including trend following and reversal trading.
- Ease of Interpretation: The clear visual representation and automatic signals make it easier for traders to identify trading opportunities and track trends.
- Customizability: With numerous settings options, the indicator can be tailored to individual preferences and specific market conditions.
Conclusion
The "MACD with SAR Indicator" is a valuable tool for traders seeking precise and reliable signals to identify market trends and make profitable trading decisions.

- You can select the timeframe of the indicator (has to be higher or equal to the chart timeframe)
- Min option is the minimum timeframe to show the indicator. If you show daily structure on 1m chart, you can run into a timeout error so keep it close to the chart timeframe.
- Recommended timeframe for no bugs is the current chart timeframe.
Structure
The structure is calculated using a combination of candle patterns (ie. pivot top = Bullish x3-Bearish-Bullish) and marks out circle labels after a new HH or LL
Structure high = 1 or more consecutive bull candles followed by a bear candle
Structure low = 1 or more consecutive bear candles followed by a bull candle
Structure direction change = when the second previous H/L is taken out (TLQ)
ILQ - Inducement Liquidity concept
In a bearish example this is the most recent structure high.
TLQ
In a bearish example this is the second most recent structure high.
This is also what helps define our structure direction. If broken, the structure changes (bullish / bearish) and plots a bos line.
EPA - Efficient price action
When price returns back to previous structure point after bos. Similar to an ICT breaker.
Note: It might be a little, just a little buggy if you have set your indicator timeframe to higher than the chart timeframe.
Extremes Zones
The final zone to find a trade entry before a structural shift. These are wick of the TLQ candle. This is select the wick of the current timeframe candle even if indicator is set to higher timeframe.
MSU
Tiny arrow labels at the bottom of your chart. Plots the arrows when price is between an ILQ and TLQ
VTA
Valid trading range. This is when we get some sort of a structure pattern. Plots a box when price induces previous structure point and then breaks structure in the opposite direction. Here are the patterns:
Bull VTA - HH-LL-HH
Bear VTA - LL-HH-LL
Bull Strict VTA - LL-HH-LL-HH
Bear Strict VTA - HH-LL-HH-LL
Bar colors
Changes the bar color based on the structure to all green/red.
Note: for this to work, you will have to right click on the indicator, then under visual order select 'bring to front'
Table
This table plots the structure stats/data
1. If structure is bullish / bearish
2. If price is efficient or not

Crab Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Harmonic Chart patterns🔵 Introduction
The Crab pattern is recognized as a reversal pattern in technical analysis, utilizing Fibonacci numbers and percentages for chart analysis. This pattern can predict suitable price reversal areas on charts using Fibonacci ratios.
The structure of the Crab pattern can manifest in both bullish and bearish forms on the chart. By analyzing this structure, traders can identify points where the price direction changes, which are essential for making informed trading decisions.
The pattern's structure is visually represented on charts as shown below. To gain a deeper understanding of the Crab pattern's functionality, it is beneficial to become familiar with its various harmonic forms.
🟣 Types of Crab Patterns
The Crab pattern is categorized into two types based on its structure: bullish and bearish. The bullish Crab is denoted by the letter M, while the bearish Crab is indicated by the letter W in technical analysis.
Typically, a bullish Crab pattern signals a potential price increase, whereas a bearish Crab pattern suggests a potential price decrease on the chart.
The direction of price movement depends significantly on the price's position within the chart. By identifying whether the pattern is bullish or bearish, traders can determine the likely direction of the price reversal.
Bullish Crab :
Bearish Crab :
🔵 How to Use
When trading using the Crab pattern, crucial parameters include the end time of the correction and the point at which the chart reaches its peak. Generally, the best time to buy is when the chart nears the end of its correction, and the best time to sell is when it approaches the peak price.
As we discussed, the end of the price correction and the time to reach the peak are measured using Fibonacci ratios. By analyzing these levels, traders can estimate the end of the correction in the chart waves and select a buying position for their stock or asset upon reaching that ratio.
🟣 Bullish Crab Pattern
In this pattern, the stock price is expected to rise at the pattern's completion, transitioning into an upward trend. The bullish Crab pattern usually begins with an upward trend, followed by a price correction, after which the stock resumes its upward movement.
If a deeper correction occurs, the price will change direction at some point on the chart and rise again towards its target price. Price corrections play a critical role in this pattern, as it aims to identify entry and exit points using Fibonacci ratios, allowing traders to make purchases at the end of the corrections.
When the price movement lines are connected on the chart, the bullish Crab pattern resembles the letter M.
🟣 Bearish Crab Pattern
In this pattern, the stock price is expected to decline at the pattern's completion, leading to a strong downward trend. The bearish Crab pattern typically starts with a price correction in a downward trend and, after several fluctuations, reaches a peak where the direction changes downward, resulting in a significant price drop.
This pattern uses Fibonacci ratios to identify points where the price movement is likely to change direction, enabling traders to exit their positions at the chart's peak. When the price movement lines are connected on the chart, the bearish Crab pattern resembles the letter W.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Logical Setting
ZigZag Pivot Period : You can adjust the period so that the harmonic patterns are adjusted according to the pivot period you want. This factor is the most important parameter in pattern recognition.
Show Valid Format : If this parameter is on "On" mode, only patterns will be displayed that they have exact format and no noise can be seen in them. If "Off" is, the patterns displayed that maybe are noisy and do not exactly correspond to the original pattern.

R-Squared Trend Strength and Direction [CHE] Introduction
TradingView is a web-based platform that allows traders and investors to conduct comprehensive technical analyses, develop trading strategies, and track market movements in real-time. One of the many features TradingView offers is the ability to create custom indicators using Pine Script. In this presentation, we will focus on the implementation and application of an R-Squared indicator for analyzing trend strength and direction, as well as using the T3 indicator for trend direction confirmation.
---
What is R-Squared?
R-Squared (R²), also known as the coefficient of determination, is a statistical measure that represents the proportion of the variance for a dependent variable that's explained by an independent variable(s). In technical analysis, R-Squared is used to quantify the clarity of a trend. A higher R-Squared indicates a clearer trend, less affected by random price fluctuations.
---
Pine Script: Implementing the R-Squared Indicator
Inputs:
- Source: The data source to be analyzed, such as the average of high and low prices.
- Period: The period length for calculating sums and R-Squared values.
Sum Calculations:
- Sum X and Sum XX: These sums relate to the indices of the selected period.
- Sum XY and Sum YY: These sums relate to the products of the indices and their respective price values.
- Sum Y: The sum of price values over the chosen period.
Q-Values Calculation:
- Q-values are used to calculate the R-Squared value, which indicates trend clarity.
Trend State:
- Based on the R-Squared value, a trend state is determined, indicating whether a clear trend is present. Specific threshold values are used to identify trend changes.
---
Using the T3 Indicator
The T3 indicator is used exclusively for confirming the trend direction in this strategy. It helps verify the direction of the trend identified by the R-Squared indicator.
T3 Indicator Calculation:
- The T3 indicator uses a series of exponential smoothings to smooth price movements and provide a clearer view of the trend direction.
- The T3 indicator confirms the trend direction indicated by the R-Squared indicator.
---
Functioning of the R-Squared and T3 Combination
1. Input Parameters:
- Define the data source and period length for calculating sums and R-Squared values.
2. Sum Calculations:
- Calculate various sums over the defined period needed to derive Q-values.
3. Q-Values Calculation:
- Derive Q1, Q2, and Q3 from the sums to calculate the R-Squared value.
4. Trend State:
- Use the R-Squared value to determine if a clear trend is present, utilizing threshold values to recognize trend changes.
5. Trend Direction Confirmation with T3:
- Calculate the T3 indicator to confirm the trend direction. The T3 is used solely for direction confirmation, not for clarity.
6. Long and Short Conditions:
- Define long and short entry conditions based on the combination of R-Squared and T3 indicators, and visualize them on the chart.
---
Conclusion
The R-Squared indicator is a powerful tool for analyzing the clarity of a trend. By integrating it into TradingView using Pine Script, traders can make informed decisions and optimize their trading strategies. The T3 indicator is used exclusively in this strategy to confirm the trend direction, enhancing the accuracy of trading signals.

Underlying Principles and Assumptions
Leverage Calculation
The leverage calculation is fundamental to risk management in trading. It ensures that the risk per trade does not exceed a specified percentage of the portfolio. This calculation takes into account the potential loss from the entry price to the stop loss level, adjusted for trading fees. By dividing the maximum acceptable loss by the total potential loss (including fees), we derive a leverage that limits the exposure per trade. This approach helps traders avoid over-leveraging, which can lead to significant losses.
ATR and Stop Loss
The Average True Range (ATR) is used to set stop loss levels because it measures market volatility. A higher ATR indicates more volatility, which means wider stop losses are needed to avoid being prematurely stopped out by normal market fluctuations. By using an ATR multiplier, the stop loss is dynamically adjusted based on current market conditions, providing a more robust risk management strategy.
Take Profit Calculation
The take profit level is calculated as a multiple of the ATR, ensuring that it is set at a realistic level relative to market volatility. This method aims to capture significant price movements while avoiding the noise of smaller fluctuations. Setting take profit targets this way helps in locking in profits when the market moves favorably.
RSI for Trend Confirmation
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is used to confirm the trend direction. An RSI above 50 typically indicates a bullish trend, while an RSI below 50 indicates a bearish trend. By aligning trades with the prevailing trend, the script increases the probability of successful trades. This trend confirmation helps in making informed decisions about leverage and position sizing.
Risk Color Coding
The script uses color coding to visually indicate the risk level and trend direction. Green indicates a favorable condition for long trades, red for short trades, and gray for neutral conditions. This intuitive color coding aids in quickly assessing the market conditions and making timely trading decisions.
Conclusion
This script aims to provide a comprehensive risk management tool for traders. By integrating portfolio size, leverage, fees, ATR, and RSI, it helps in making informed trading decisions. We hope you find this tool useful in your trading journey.
Happy Trading!
Customizable NQ Level PlotterThis indicator, inspired by Kellyannnn, will plot user specified levels on the NQ Chart.
Add the levels you want to see, customize the colors, and you're good to go.
Let me give you an example of how this might be used:
Say, for example, that you have noticed that the NQ seems to move between the even hundred levels and the even fifty levels.... if you tell this indicator to plot those 2 levels at every even hundred and every even 50 level it will do so at:
18000
18050
18100
18150
18200
18250... and so on.
It will plot these levels above and below the current price.
If you want to add 2 other levels, you can do that as well.
So if you wanted to have it plot a line at every 00, 26, 50, and 77 it would do so like this:
18000
18026
18050
18077
18100
18126
18150
18177
18200
18226
18250

Half Cup [LuxAlgo]The Half Cup indicator detects and displays patterns with the shape of a Half Cup , initiating a channel. From this channel, breakouts are detected and highlighted with dots.
Users can control the shape of the Half Cup and the channel length through various settings.
Do note that the displayed half cups are displayed retrospectively, making them subject to backpainting.
🔶 USAGE
The idea behind the indicator is derived from the Cup & Handle pattern, which requires waiting for the pattern full completion.
Our Half Cup publication aims to find opportunities when the potential cup is only formed halfway.
In this example, a green dot shows the first breakout of the upper channel extremity. A few bars later, the price went under it, after which it returned above, triggering a second green dot. Both triggers were good opportunities in this case, and the price rose afterward.
The Half Cup pattern can be the start of a potential complete Cup & Handle (As in the example above, a complete Cup pattern (without the Handle ) is shown, manually drawn with dashed lines).
Every green/red dot, whether on a bullish or bearish pattern, points to a breakout respectively above/below the channel.
Besides drawing patterns and the corresponding breakouts, the Half Cup indicator can also provide insights into trends and potential opportunities in the long run.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Validation
Several criteria must be fulfilled before a visible pattern on the chart is drawn.
Calculations are done beforehand to know where the Half Cup pattern would be positioned.
The pattern's bottom and top edges are checked for the number of bars whose closing price is outside the half-cup area. When the number of breakouts above/below is equal to or lower than the user-defined settings ( Max % Breaks Top/Bottom ), the pattern is drawn together with a brighter-colored channel next to it.
Dots highlighting the channel's breakout can be drawn from that moment until the end of both channel lines.
🔹 Positioning
Users can adjust the following settings to fit their needs:
% Broadness: Moves the Top/Bottom line (bullish or bearish) diagonally upwards/downwards.
Vertical Shift: Shifts the entire pattern up/down.
Channel Length: Sets the line length of the channel.
Note that adjusting the position of the pattern will change the validation; the script will be rerun to check if patterns are still valid or if new patterns can be drawn. Some patterns may disappear, while new ones may appear.
Before adjusting the position, the user can set Max % Breaks Top/Bottom at 100%. When the positioning is set, Max % Breaks Top/Bottom can be set as desired.
🔹 Updated Drawings
The Half Cup pattern is always drawn retrospectively (that is it is subject to backpainting), the channel is drawn from the bar from where the pattern is detected. Every breakout of the channel will remain visible as dots.
When a new swing high/low is found while the previous swing low/high remains the same, the pattern is updated to minimize clutter. The dots of earlier drawings will remain visible (to ensure no repainting occurs), but the color becomes faded, as such bright dots are associated with patterns that are visible on the chart, while faded dots are from removed/updated patterns.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Length: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer-term Swing Levels.
🔹 Validation
Max % Breaks Bottom: Allowed maximum amount of bars where the closing price is below the bottom of the Half Cup pattern against the total width of the pattern (bars).
Max % Breaks Top: Allowed maximum amount of bars where the closing price is above the top of the Half Cup pattern against the total width of the pattern (bars).
🔹 Positioning
% Broadness: Moves the Top/Bottom line (bullish or bearish) diagonally upwards/downwards.
Vertical Shift: Shifts the entire pattern up/down.
Channel Length: Sets the line length of the channel.
