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.
Multi-Ticker RS vs SPYThis Pine Script, titled "Multi-Ticker RS vs SPY," is a clean and efficient indicator designed for TradingView, enabling traders to monitor the relative strength (RS) of up to 10 ticker symbols compared to the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) on a single chart. Ideal for options traders, such as those managing a $1,400 account, it provides a simple way to assess which stocks are outperforming or underperforming the broader market. As of February 26, 2025, the script supports any chart timeframe, such as 5-minute or daily intervals, and calculates RS based on a user-defined lookback period, defaulting to 1 bar for real-time insights.
Users can input ticker symbols via customizable settings, with defaults set to popular stocks like AAPL, TSLA, NVDA, GOOGL, AMZN, MSFT, FB, NFLX, INTC, and PYPL.

Breakout and Retest Signals [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script detects breakout and retest signals by identifying key pivot points in price action and analyzing their relationship with historical swing highs and lows. It highlights breakout structures using ATR-based tolerance levels and volume analysis to confirm potential trend continuations or reversals. The script marks significant price levels with dynamic boxes and dashed lines to help traders visualize breakout and retest areas effectively.
CONCEPTS
The script relies on pivot point analysis, a technique used to identify significant price levels where the market has previously reversed. It dynamically tracks a set number of recent swing highs and lows, allowing traders to see if the price is revisiting a previously significant level. The concept of breakouts and retests is widely used in technical analysis to determine potential entry points. A breakout occurs when the price moves beyond a resistance or support level, and a retest happens when the price returns to test that level before continuing in the breakout direction. This script enhances that analysis by incorporating ATR-based tolerance levels, ensuring that price zones are not too large.
FEATURES
Breakout and Retest Markings : Highlights breakout and retest areas with shaded boxes, allowing traders to visualize where price action is confirming key levels.
Volume Delta and Ratio : Analyzes volume at breakout levels to gauge the strength of the move, displaying volume delta information for additional context. The script also displays the ratio of selling to buying at the retest along traders to make better judgement on their entries.
Multi-Timeframe Adaptability : Dynamically adjusts volume analysis to align with the appropriate lower timeframe, ensuring reliable volume comparisons.
Alerts for Breakout and Retest Events : Traders can receive real-time notifications when bullish or bearish breakout retests are detected.
USAGE
This script is best suited for traders looking to identify strong breakout and retest setups across different timeframes. Users can customize the pivot detection period and swing point memory to adjust sensitivity based on their trading style. The ATR length and multiplier allow further refinement of breakout tolerance, reducing noise in volatile markets. The breakout zones are displayed as shaded boxes, where traders can assess whether a price retest is occurring under favorable conditions. Alerts can be set to notify traders of potential trade opportunities.
Impulse MACD enhancedThis indicator is designed to provide robust trade entry signals by combining multiple technical filters. Here’s a summary of its key components:
Impulse MACD Calculation:
Uses a Zero-Lag EMA (ZLEMA) based approach to generate a momentum indicator (with a signal line and histogram) that identifies shifts in market momentum.
Simulated Higher Timeframe (HTF) Trend Filter:
Computes an SMA over a multiplied period to simulate a higher timeframe trend. It requires the price to be in line with this broader trend before signaling an entry.
RSI Filter:
Ensures that for bullish entries the RSI is above a set threshold (indicating momentum) and for bearish entries it’s below a threshold.
ADX Filter:
Uses a manually calculated ADX to confirm that the market is in a strong trend (ADX > 30) to reduce false signals in weakly trending or sideways markets.
Volume Filter:
Compares the current volume to a 20‑bar SMA of volume, requiring volume to be significantly higher (by a user-defined percentage) to confirm the strength of the move.
VWAP Confirmation:
Uses the Volume-Weighted Average Price as an extra layer of confirmation: bullish signals require the price to be above VWAP, bearish signals below.
Optional Long-Term & Short-Term MA Filters:
These filters can be enabled to ensure the price is trading above (or below) longer-term and shorter-term moving averages, further aligning the trade with the prevailing trend.
ATR Volatility Filter:
Checks that volatility (as measured by the ATR relative to price) is below a maximum threshold, which helps avoid taking trades in overly volatile conditions.
Price Action Filter:
Ensures that for a bullish signal the current close is above the highest high over a specified lookback period (and vice versa for bearish), indicating a clear breakout.
Signal Throttling:
Signals are limited to one every 10 bars to prevent excessive trading.
When all these conditions are met, the indicator outputs an entry signal for either a bullish or bearish trade.
This multi-filter approach aims to increase win rate by reducing false signals and aligning trades with strong, confirmed trends while filtering out noise.

The indicator analyzes a predefined number of bars (e.g., 5 candles) to determine relative highs and lows:
Swing High (Local High) → The current candle has a higher high compared to the previous and subsequent candle.
Swing Low (Local Low) → The current candle has a lower low compared to the previous and subsequent candle.
When a candle meets one of these conditions, a visual dot is placed to indicate the potential reversal point.
IBS (Internal Bar Strength) Trading Strategy for SPY and NDQImplementation by AlgoTradeKit
Overview
The IBS Trading Strategy is a daily bars long-only trading system, based on the concept of Internal Bar Strength (IBS). The strategy aims to identify potential reversals by monitoring how the previous bar’s close positions itself within its high-low range. It is suitable for stock and US indices. The default parameters are optimized for SPY/SPX and NDQ/QQQ
Strategy Concept
The Internal Bar Strength (IBS) is calculated using the formula:
IBS = (Previous Close - Previous Low) / (Previous High - Previous Low)
This value always lies between 0 and 1. An IBS value below 0.2 is typically interpreted as an oversold condition, while a value above 0.9 suggests an overbought state.
Trading Rules
- Long Entry :
- Condition 1 : IBS is below the user-defined entry threshold (default is 0.2).
- Condition 2 : The current price is above an N-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) (default period is 252).

AstroTrading_SpecialLevelsOverview
This Pine Script™ (version 5) indicator is designed to detect and mark key price levels using pivot points and Fibonacci extensions. It looks back over a user-defined number of bars to identify significant pivot highs and lows, then searches for specific patterns—either a bullish “dip–peak–dip” or a bearish “peak–dip–peak” formation. Once such a pattern is found, the script calculates Fibonacci-based levels (including STOP, Entry, and multiple target levels) and displays them on the chart with horizontal lines and labels.
Key Components
Input Parameters and Setup:
Bars Settings:
left_bars and right_bars define the number of bars to look left and right when calculating pivots.
lookback determines how many bars back (from the current bar) to search for potential pattern points.
Arrays for Pivot Points:
Two sets of arrays are created to store pivot lows and pivot highs along with their corresponding bar indices.
Pivot Point Calculation:
The script calculates pivot lows using ta.pivotlow(left_bars, right_bars) and pivot highs using ta.pivothigh(left_bars, right_bars).
When a valid pivot is detected (i.e. not na), its bar index (adjusted by right_bars) and value are pushed into the respective arrays.
Filtering by Lookback Period:
The code defines a start (bar_index - lookback) and end bar (bar_index - 1) to limit the search for pattern points.
It filters both pivot low and high arrays so that only points within this historical range are considered.
Pattern Detection – Bullish Formation (Dip–Peak–Dip):
The script searches for a sequence where:
Dip1: A pivot low is found.
Peak: A subsequent pivot high occurs after Dip1.
Dip2: A later pivot low occurs after the Peak.
Once these points are identified, it calculates the difference between the peak and the first dip.
It then creates arrays of Fibonacci multipliers ( ), corresponding level labels ("STOP", "Entry", "1. Target", "2. Target", "3. Target"), and associated colors.
For each multiplier, the price level is computed using the formula:
priceLevel = dip2 + (peak – dip1) × multiplier
Horizontal lines are drawn at these price levels (extending to the right), and labels are placed to show both the level name and its numeric value.
Pattern Detection – Bearish Formation (Peak–Dip–Peak):
If no bullish sequence is found, the script then looks for the opposite pattern:
Peak1: A pivot high.
Dip: A subsequent pivot low after Peak1.
Peak2: A later pivot high after the Dip.
The difference is computed as:
diff = peak1 – dip
Using the same Fibonacci multipliers and labels, the price level is now calculated as:
priceLevel = peak2 – diff × multiplier
Lines and labels are drawn similarly to indicate STOP, Entry, and multiple target levels.
Fallback:
If neither bullish nor bearish patterns are found within the lookback period, the script creates a label on the chart to inform the user that no valid sequence was detected.
Trading Implications
By identifying these patterns and plotting Fibonacci extension levels, the indicator provides traders with potential areas for:
Stops: Price levels where a reversal might occur.
Entry Points: Levels at which to consider initiating a trade.
Targets: One or more levels for taking profits.
Traders can use these levels in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to help time entries and exits more effectively.
This explanation is written to meet TradingView’s guidelines by clearly detailing each part of the script and its purpose without unnecessary commentary.
AstroTrading_DragonCombine1. Table Setup and User Inputs
Table Position and Font Size:
The script begins by asking the user to select a table position (e.g. Top Right) and a font size (Small, Medium, Large, Huge) via input options.
pinescript
Kopyala
positionInput = input.string("Sağ Üst Köşe", title="Tablo Konumu", options= )
fontSizeInput = input.string("Orta", title="Yazı Punto Büyüklüğü", options= )
Table Creation:
A table is created using table.new with 6 rows and 4 columns. The location of the table is determined by the selected input. This table will later display the name, entry, target, and stop levels for each of the five strategies.
2. Variable Declarations
The script defines several persistent variables to store levels for each indicator. These include:
Entry, target, and stop levels for each of the five sub-indicators (labeled as _1, _2, _3, _4, and _5).
Examples include targetLevel_1, fibLow_1, lastEntry_1, lastTarget_1, etc.
3. Indicator 1 – AstroTrading_AlphaBalance
Logic:
This part examines the previous candle’s high and low to compute its range. It then defines two conditions:
conditionUp_1: When the current close exceeds the previous high by at least 50% of the previous range.
conditionDown_1: When the current close falls below the previous low by 50% of the previous range.
Action:
Depending on whether the move is upward or downward, the script sets:
For an upward move:
fibLow_1 is set to the current low.
The entry level is taken as the current high.
The target is computed by taking the high and subtracting –0.786 times the range (this negative multiplier inverts the move).
The stop is set at the previous low.
For a downward move, similar logic applies with reversed roles.
Purpose:
This module generates a primary signal (AlphaBalance) based on extreme candle movements relative to the prior candle’s range.
4. Indicator 2 – AstroTrading_CandleElongation
Higher Timeframe Data:
The script uses the request.security function to obtain high, low, close, and open values from a user-specified timeframe.
Fibonacci Extension Calculation:
A function fiboExtension calculates two Fibonacci extension levels (approximately 0.786 and 1.618 multipliers) based on three price points.
Signal Conditions:
It checks if the previous candle (two bars ago) meets certain criteria relative to its open, and if the current candle’s close confirms an elongation move.
Output:
If conditions are met, the script sets:
candleEntry_2 to the lower Fibonacci level,
candleTarget_2 to the higher Fibonacci extension,
candleStop_2 to the current low (for a bullish setup) or high (for bearish).
Purpose:
This sub-indicator looks to capture significant candle elongation moves by using Fibonacci extension levels to define entry, target, and stop.
5. Indicator 3 – AstroTrading_FlaGama
Similar to a Flag Formation:
Like the previous “FlaGama” indicator, it checks if the current close is more than 50% beyond the previous candle’s high (conditionUp_3) or below the previous low (conditionDown_3).
Bar Coloring:
If either condition is met, the bar is colored orange to signal an extreme move.
Signal Generation:
Depending on the move’s direction:
Bullish Setup:
Calculates a Fibonacci level at 78.6% from the current low to high.
Sets the entry at this Fibonacci level.
The target is computed by adding the difference between the current high and the Fibonacci level to the current high.
The stop is set at the current low.
Bearish Setup:
Mirrors the Fibonacci calculation to derive a level for short entry.
The target is set below the current low, and the stop is at the current high.
Purpose:
The FlaGama section provides confirmation signals when extreme moves occur, helping traders decide on potential reversals.
6. Indicator 4 – AstroTrading_HermDown
EMA Crossover:
An EMA (111-period) is calculated. A crossover of the EMA above the close triggers a “kesilme” (cutoff) event.
First Candle Identification:
Once a crossover is detected, the next candle’s close is monitored. If that candle’s close remains below the cutoff level, it is considered the “first candle” of the HermDown setup.
Fibonacci Retracement:
It then calculates the highest high over the last 30 bars and derives a target level (fibNeg0618_4) at about 48.6% retracement from that high.
Signal Levels:
The entry is the cutoff close, the target is the calculated Fibonacci level, and the stop is the low of the cutoff candle.
Purpose:
This module aims to capture bearish reversals (HermDown) when the price drops sharply below an EMA, using Fibonacci retracement as a guide.
7. Indicator 5 – AstroTrading_HermUp
EMA Crossunder:
Similarly, an EMA (111-period) is used. A crossunder (EMA crossing below the close) signals a potential bullish reversal.
First Candle Confirmation:
The next candle’s close is checked to confirm the move.
Fibonacci Level:
A Fibonacci extension (approximately 61.8% of the distance from the cutoff close to the high) is computed to serve as the target.
Signal Levels:
The entry is set at the cutoff close, the target is the Fibonacci level, and the stop is set at the low.
Purpose:
This section captures bullish reversal signals (HermUp) when the price moves above an EMA.
8. Displaying Levels in a Table
Aggregating Data:
The script gathers the entry, target, and stop levels from all five sub-indicators.
Table Layout:
The table displays five rows (one for each indicator) with four columns:
Indicator name (e.g., “AlphaBalance”, “CandleElongation”, “FlaGama”, “HermDown”, “HermUp”)
Entry level
Target level
Stop level
Color Coding:
Entry cells have a blue background.
Target cells are colored green if above the current close or red if below.
Stop cells are given a gray background.
Purpose:
This consolidated view allows traders to quickly assess all key levels from different strategies on the chart.
Summary
The “AstroTrading_DragonCombine” indicator is a multi-faceted tool that merges five distinct trading setups into one comprehensive display. Each sub-indicator utilizes a unique method—ranging from extreme candle moves and Fibonacci extensions to EMA crossovers—to determine entry, target, and stop levels. These levels are then neatly summarized in a table overlay on the chart. By combining these approaches, traders can gain a broader perspective on market conditions and potential reversal points, enhancing their decision-making process while adhering to sound risk management principles.
This explanation is written to meet TradingView’s script publication standards, providing a clear, objective, and detailed overview of the indicator’s functionality and logic.
AstroTrading_FlaGamaOverview
This Pine Script™ indicator (version 5) is designed to detect a specific “flag formation” pattern based on aggressive price movements relative to the previous candle’s range. When the current candle’s closing price deviates significantly—by at least 50% of the previous candle’s range—above its high or below its low, the script marks the bar in orange. It then attempts to identify a confirmation pattern when a subsequent (second) orange candle appears, and based on the relationship between the closes of the two orange candles, it dynamically plots Fibonacci-based levels along with entry, stop, and target signals for potential long or short trades.
Key Components and Logic
Previous Candle Data Calculation:
prevHigh and prevLow:
The script captures the high and low of the previous bar (high and low ).
prevRange:
The range of the previous candle is computed as the difference between prevHigh and prevLow. This range is later used to calculate the threshold for a significant move.
Defining Significant Price Movements (Orange Bars):
conditionUp:
This condition checks if the current candle’s close is greater than the previous candle’s high plus 50% of the previous range. When true, it indicates a strong bullish move (a “green” scenario, but the indicator colors the bar orange to highlight the extreme move).
conditionDown:
Similarly, this condition checks if the current candle’s close is lower than the previous candle’s low minus 50% of the previous range. When true, it signals a strong bearish move.
barcolor:
If either condition is met, the script colors the bar orange. This visual cue allows traders to easily identify candles that have moved beyond the typical range of the prior session.
Tracking “Orange” Candles:
The script uses persistent (var) variables to store data from the first detected orange candle:
prevOrangeClose, prevOrangeLow, prevOrangeHigh: These hold the closing, low, and high values of the first extreme (orange) candle.
secondOrangeExists: A Boolean flag that is set to true once an orange candle is recorded.
Confirmation and Fibonacci Level Calculation:
When a new (second) orange candle is detected (i.e., when the current candle meets the condition and the flag secondOrangeExists is true), the script differentiates between two scenarios:
Bullish Confirmation (Long Setup):
Condition: The current candle’s close is higher than the first orange candle’s close.
Fibonacci Calculation:
The script calculates a Fibonacci retracement level at 78.6% (0.786) of the range between the current high and low. This level is considered as a potential long entry level.
Visual Elements:
A green dotted line is drawn at the Fibonacci level.
A long target line is plotted above the current high by the distance between the current high and the first orange candle’s low.
Labels are added to indicate the “LONG TARGET,” “LONG STOP” (placed at the first orange candle’s low), and “LONG Entry Level” (the Fibonacci level).
Bearish Confirmation (Short Setup):
Condition: The current candle’s close is lower than the first orange candle’s close.
Fibonacci Calculation:
In this case, the Fibonacci level is calculated in a mirrored manner (using –0.786), suggesting a short entry level.
Visual Elements:
A red dotted line is drawn at the calculated Fibonacci level.
A short target line is plotted below the current low by the distance between the first orange candle’s high and the current low.
Labels are added for “SHORT TARGET,” “SHORT STOP” (placed at the first orange candle’s high), and “SHORT Entry Level.”
Resetting the Indicator State:
If a candle does not meet the extreme move criteria (i.e., not orange), the flag secondOrangeExists is reset. This ensures that the indicator only considers consecutive extreme moves for generating trade signals.
Trading Strategy Implications
This indicator is designed to capture extreme moves that may lead to sharp reversals (either a short squeeze in a bullish scenario or a long squeeze in a bearish one). By:
Highlighting Price Extremes:
The orange bar color quickly alerts traders to significant deviations from the previous candle’s range.
Confirming with Consecutive Moves:
The use of a second extreme candle as a confirmation helps filter out false signals.
Employing Fibonacci Levels:
The dynamic Fibonacci level serves as a logical entry point, while the first extreme candle’s high or low acts as a stop-loss reference. A target level is also plotted based on the measured move.
Traders can integrate this setup into a broader risk management and technical analysis framework to time entries and exits more effectively.
Compliance with TradingView Script Publishing Rules
This explanation adheres to TradingView’s guidelines by clearly stating the functionality, describing each component and its purpose, and ensuring that the explanation is objective, detailed, and does not include promotional language. The script itself is annotated with comments (in both English and Turkish) and uses standard Pine Script™ functions (e.g., indicator(), line.new(), label.new(), etc.) to maintain clarity and reproducibility.
This detailed explanation should help traders understand how the “AstroTrading_FlaGama” indicator works, how it generates signals, and how it might be integrated into a comprehensive trading strategy.
Supertrend with 1% Target and 1% StoplossSupertrend Calculation: The Supertrend indicator is calculated using the Average True Range (ATR) and a factor. The factor and ATR length can be adjusted in the inputs.
Long and Short Conditions: The strategy enters a long position when the price crosses above the Supertrend line and a short position when the price crosses below it.
Target and Stop Loss: The strategy places a 1% target and a 1% stop loss for both long and short positions.
Visuals: The stop loss and take profit levels are plotted on the chart for better visibility.
MH Strategy – Hull Moving Average-Based Trading StrategyThe MH Strategy is a TradingView strategy that leverages the Hull Moving Average (HullMA) to generate precise buy and sell signals. This strategy is designed to identify trend reversals and momentum shifts using a combination of weighted moving averages and HullMA-based calculations.
Key Features:
✅ Hull Moving Average-Based Signals – Uses a modified HullMA calculation to detect trend changes.
✅ Dynamic Support & Resistance – The strategy plots adaptive levels that act as dynamic entry and exit points.
✅ Trend-Based Entries & Exits – Generates long (buy) signals when the price moves above the calculated Hull retraction level and short (sell) signals when the price moves below it.
✅ Automated Trade Execution – Integrates with TradingView’s strategy function to open and close trades automatically based on signal conditions.
✅ Customizable Parameters – Allows users to adjust the HullMA period and price data source to optimize performance across different markets and timeframes.
How It Works:
HullMA Calculation: The strategy calculates a smoothed Hull Moving Average (HullMA) using a two-step weighted moving average method.
Trend Confirmation: The difference between the HullMA values helps determine trend direction and retraction levels.
Entry Conditions:
A buy signal is generated when the price is above the retraction level, and the previous price confirms the trend.
A sell signal is triggered when the price is below the retraction level with trend confirmation.
Exit Conditions:
The strategy closes long trades when the price drops below a threshold.
It closes short trades when the price rises above a set level.
Ideal Use Cases:
🔹 Swing & trend traders looking for momentum-based entries and exits.
🔹 Traders aiming for reduced lag compared to traditional moving averages.
🔹 Markets with strong price trends, such as forex, stocks, and crypto.
Try the MH Strategy and enhance your trading decisions with a refined HullMA-based trend detection system! 🚀
Electronic Trading Hours Session/CandlesThis indicator visually distinguishes the electronic trading session, spanning from the prior day's close (e.g., 5:00 PM EST) through the overnight period until the next day's opening bell (e.g., 9:30 AM EST).
It can be customized to highlight this period with a shaded zone or colored candles depending on the trader’s preference.
The overnight levels that create the opening range gap often act as critical zones of liquidity.
The indicator provides a clear visual cue of potential price magnets that smart money (institutional traders) may target during the opening bell session to trigger liquidity sweeps.
Enhanced Doji Candle StrategyYour trading strategy is a Doji Candlestick Reversal Strategy designed to identify potential market reversals using Doji candlestick patterns. These candles indicate indecision in the market, and when detected, your strategy uses a Simple Moving Average (SMA) with a short period of 20 to confirm the overall market trend. If the price is above the SMA, the trend is considered bullish; if it's below, the trend is bearish.
Once a Doji is detected, the strategy waits for one or two consecutive confirmation candles that align with the market trend. For a bullish confirmation, the candles must close higher than their opening price without significant bottom wicks. Conversely, for a bearish confirmation, the candles must close lower without noticeable top wicks. When these conditions are met, a trade is entered at the market price.
The risk management aspect of your strategy is clearly defined. A stop loss is automatically placed at the nearest recent swing high or low, with a tighter distance of 5 pips to allow for more trading opportunities. A take-profit level is set using a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio, meaning the potential reward is twice the size of the risk on each trade.
Additionally, the strategy incorporates an early exit mechanism. If a reversal Doji forms in the opposite direction of your trade, the position is closed immediately to minimize losses. This strategy has been optimized to increase trade frequency by loosening the strictness of Doji detection and confirmation conditions while still maintaining sound risk management principles.
The strategy is coded in Pine Script for use on TradingView and uses built-in indicators like the SMA for trend detection. You also have flexible parameters to adjust risk levels, take-profit targets, and stop-loss placements, allowing you to tailor the strategy to different market conditions.
Trend CounterTREND COUNTER is a Trend Exhaustion Indicator that tracks the persistence of price movements over a series of bars, helping traders identify potential trend exhaustion and reversals.
It compares each bar's value (typically the closing price) to a previous bar from a set lookback period (the lookback bar), counting consecutive bullish or bearish price movements.
The count resets when the trend reverses, signaling a potential shift in momentum.
• Price movement is considered bullish if the current price exceeds the lookback bar's price, incrementing the bullish count with each consecutive occurrence.
• Price movement is considered bearish if the current price is lower than the lookback bar's price, incrementing the bearish count with each consecutive occurrence.
• The count resets when the trend reverses.
• The user sets the threshold for sequence resets by defining the maximum number of consecutive occurrences.
• The count may reset before a trend reversal if it surpasses the user-defined threshold.
This type of indicator is useful for detecting trends, trend exhaustion, overbought or oversold conditions, and potential reversal points, helping traders anticipate market turns.
• Sequential occurrences gauge trend strength.
A long sequence of bullish bars suggests strong upward momentum, while consecutive bearish bars indicate sustained downward pressure.
This helps traders assess whether a trend is likely to continue or weaken.
• Identify thresholds for potential reversal points.
Counting consecutive bullish or bearish price movements can highlight overextended trends.
A trend reaching a predefined threshold may signal an upcoming reversal or momentum slowdown.
• Identify potential entry or exit points.
If trends are showing signs of exhaustion after a certain number of consecutive price movements, traders may use this for timing adjustments to their position.
• Assess risk.
Understanding trend strength helps traders better adjust stop-loss or take-profit levels.
Sequential counting provides a structured approach to trade management.
Visualization & Customization
The Sequential Momentum indicator visually represents consecutive bullish or bearish price movements to define trends and highlight key shifts.
• The bullish/bearish bar sequences are based on user-defined thresholds.
• Customizable bar coloring, labels, and plot shapes enhanced trend visualization.
• Dynamic color transitions make trend shifts easily identifiable.
Tracking consecutive bullish or bearish price movements can be effective when combined with other indicators or applied in specific market conditions (e.g., trending or volatile markets).
However, its reliability depends on market conditions and the trader’s interpretation.
This indicator is best used as a complementary tool rather than a standalone signal, helping traders visualize and quantify market momentum within a broader strategy.
