DEMA Adjusted Average True Range [BackQuant]The use of the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) within your Adjusted Average True Range (ATR) calculation serves as a cornerstone for enhancing the indicator's responsiveness to market changes. To delve deeper into why DEMA is employed specifically in the context of your ATR calculation, let's explore the inherent qualities of DEMA and its impact on the ATR's performance.
DEMA and Its Advantages
As previously mentioned, DEMA was designed to offer a more responsive alternative to the traditional Exponential Moving Average (EMA). By giving more weight to recent price data, DEMA reduces the lag typically associated with moving averages. This reduction in lag is especially beneficial for short-term traders looking to capitalize on trend reversals and other market movements as swiftly as possible.
The calculation of DEMA involves the following steps:
Calculate EMA1: This is the Exponential Moving Average of the price.
Calculate EMA2: This is the Exponential Moving Average of EMA1, thus it is a smoothing of a smoothing, leading to a greater lag.
Formulate DEMA: The formula
EMA1 = EMA of price
EMA2 = EMA of EMA1
DEMA = (2 x EMA1) - EMA2
effectively doubles the weighting of the most recent data points by subtracting the lagged, double-smoothed EMA2 from twice the single-smoothed EMA1.
This process enhances the moving average's sensitivity to recent price movements, allowing the DEMA to adhere more closely to the price bars than either EMA1 or EMA2 alone.
Integration with ATR
In the context of your ATR calculation, the integration of DEMA plays a crucial role in defining the indicator's core functionality. Here's a detailed explanation of how DEMA affects the ATR calculation:
Initial Determination of DEMA : By applying the DEMA formula to the chosen source data (which can be adjusted to use Heikin Ashi candle close prices for an even smoother analysis), you set a foundation for a more reactive trend-following mechanism within the ATR framework.
Application to ATR Bands : The calculated DEMA serves as the central line from which the ATR bands are derived. The ATR value, multiplied by a user-defined factor, is added to and subtracted from the DEMA to form the upper and lower bands, respectively. This dynamic adjustment not only reflects the volatility based on the ATR but does so in a way that is closely aligned with the most recent price action, thanks to the utilization of DEMA.
Enhanced Signal Quality : The responsiveness of DEMA ensures that the ATR bands adjust more promptly to changes in market conditions. This quality is vital for traders who rely on the ATR bands to identify potential entry and exit points, trend reversals, or to assess market volatility.
By employing DEMA as the core component in calculating the Adjusted Average True Range, your indicator leverages DEMA's reduced lag and increased weight on recent data to provide a more timely and accurate measure of market volatility. This innovative approach enhances the utility of the ATR by making it not only a tool for assessing volatility but also a more reactive indicator for trend analysis and trading signal generation.
The main concept of combining these is to reduce lag, get a more robust signal and still capture clear trends over medium time horizons.
For me, this is best used in confluence with other indicators, it can be made faster in order to get fasters response time, or slower. This is all depending on the needs of you as a trader.
User Inputs:
The script offers several user-configurable inputs, such as the period lengths for DEMA and ATR calculations, the multiplication factor for the ATR, and options to use Heikin Ashi candles or standard price data. Additionally, it allows for the toggling of visual features, like the plotting of the DEMA ATR and its moving average, and the application of color-coded trends on price bars.
Additional Features:
Moving Average Confluence: Traders can opt to display a moving average of the DEMA ATR, choosing from various types (e.g., SMA, EMA, HMA). This feature provides a layer of confluence, aiding in the identification of trend direction and strength.
Trend Identification :
The script employs logical conditions to ascertain the trend direction based on the movement of the DEMA ATR. It assigns colors to represent bullish or bearish trends, which are reflected in the plotted lines and the coloring of price bars.
Alerts :
Customizable alert conditions for trend reversals enhance the utility of the indicator for active trading, notifying users of significant changes in trend direction.

Fair Value Gaps
Introducing the Fair Value Gaps (FVG) Indicator by OmegaTools, a distinctive and analytical tool designed for TradingView. This script meticulously identifies and visualizes fair value gaps within the market, offering traders a nuanced understanding of potential price movement areas that are not immediately apparent through traditional analysis.
Concept and Methodology:
Fair Value Gaps are identified as areas on a chart where the price has skipped over, leaving a 'gap' that has not been filled. These gaps often occur due to sudden market movements triggered by news events, changes in market sentiment, or large orders that move the price significantly. The FVG Indicator detects these gaps by analyzing price action and identifying discrepancies between high and low prices over a specified period. This approach is rooted in the belief that markets tend to return to these unfilled spaces, providing potential opportunities for traders.
How It Works:
The indicator scans the chart for gaps between the high of one session and the low of the next (or vice versa), marking these gaps visually for easy identification.
Users can customize the lookback period to adjust the sensitivity of the indicator to recent versus historical data.
The FVG Indicator employs color-coding to distinguish between bullish and bearish gaps, allowing traders to quickly gauge market sentiment around these gaps.
Using the FVG Indicator:
Apply the indicator to any chart on TradingView and adjust the input settings, including the extension of FVGs and aesthetic preferences like color, to suit your analysis style.
Use the visual cues provided by the FVG Indicator to identify potential areas where the market may move to fill the gaps.
Combine the insights from the FVG Indicator with other technical analysis tools or fundamental analysis to validate potential trading opportunities.
Originality and Usefulness:
The FVG Indicator stands out due to its focused approach to identifying and visualizing fair value gaps, a concept that is often overlooked in conventional market analysis. By providing a clear visual representation of these gaps, the indicator adds depth to market analysis, aiding in the identification of potential price reversal zones or continuation signals.
Disclaimer and Responsible Use:
The financial markets are complex and unpredictable. The FVG Indicator is designed to offer analytical insights and should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy. It does not guarantee profits or predict market movements with absolute certainty. Traders are encouraged to use this tool judiciously, alongside proper risk management practices. Remember, past performance does not guarantee future results, and trading involves risks, including the potential loss of investment.
Liquidity Finder🔵 Introduction
The concept of "liquidity pool" or simply "liquidity" in technical analysis price action refers to areas on the price chart where stop losses accumulate, and the market, by reaching those areas and collecting liquidity (Stop Hunt), provides the necessary energy to move the price. This concept is prominent in the "ICT" and "Smart Money" styles. Imagine, as depicted below, the price is at a support level. The general trader mentality is that there is "demand" for the asset at this price level, and this demand will outweigh "supply" as before. So, it is likely that the price will increase. As a result, they start buying and place their stop loss below the support area.
Stop Hunt areas are essentially traders' "stop loss" levels. These are the liquidity that institutional and large traders need to fill their orders. Consequently, they penetrate the price below support areas or above resistance areas to touch their stop loss and fill their orders, and then the price trend reverses.
Cash zones are generally located under "Swings Low" and above "Swings High." More specifically, they can be categorized as support levels or resistance levels, above Double Top and Triple Top patterns, below Double Bottom and Triple Bottom patterns, above Bearish Trend lines, and below Bullish Trend lines.
Double Top and Triple Top :
Double Bottom and Triple Bottom :
Bullish Trend line and Bearish Trend line :
🔵 How to Use
To optimally use this indicator, you can adjust the settings according to the symbol, time frame, and your needs. These settings include the "sensitivity" of the "liquidity finder" function and the swing periods related to static and dynamic liquidity lines.
"Statics Liquidity Line Sensitivity" is a number between 0 and 0.4. Increasing this number decreases the sensitivity of the "Statics Liquidity Line Detection" function and increases the number of lines identified. The default value is 0.3.
"Dynamics Liquidity Line Sensitivity" is a number between 0.4 and 1.95. Increasing this number increases the sensitivity of the "Dynamics Liquidity Line Detection" function and decreases the number of lines identified. The default value is 1.
"Statics Period Pivot" is set to 8 by default. By changing this number, you can specify the period for the static liquidity line pivots.
"Dynamics Period Pivot" is set to 3 by default. By changing this number, you can specify the period for the dynamic liquidity line pivots.
🔵 Settings
Access to adjust the inputs of Static Dynamic Liquidity Line Sensitivity, Dynamics Liquidity Line Sensitivity, Statics Period Pivot, and Dynamics Period Pivot is possible from this section.
Additionally, you can enable or disable liquidity lines as needed using the buttons for "Show Statics High Liquidity Line," "Show Statics Low Liquidity Line," "Show Dynamics High Liquidity Line," and "Show Dynamics Low Liquidity Line."

Features of the new Fair Value Gap (FVG) Screener :
Find Latest Fair Value Gaps Accross 5 Tickers
Shows Their Information Of :
Latest Status
Number Of Retests
Consumption Percent
Bullish & Bearish Volume
Customizable Algoritm / Styling
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A Fair Value Gap generally occur when there is an imbalance in the market. They can be detected by specific formations within the chart. This screener then finds Fair Value Gaps accross 5 different tickers, and shows the latest information about them.
Status ->
Far -> The current price is far away from the FVG.
Approaching ⬆️/⬇️ -> The current price is approaching the FVG, and the direction it's approaching from.
Inside -> The price is currently inside the FVG.
Retests -> Retest means the price tried to invalidate the FVG, but failed to do so. Here you can see how many times the price retested the FVG.
Consumed -> FVGs get consumed when a Close / Wick enters the FVG zone. For example, if the price hits the middle of the FVG zone, the zone is considered 50% consumed.
Bullish / Bearish Volume -> Bullish & Bearish volume of a FVG is calculated by analyzing the bars that formed it. For example in a bullish FVG, the bullish volume is the total volume of the first 2 bars forming the FVG, and the bearish volume is the volume of the 3rd bar that forms it.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This screener can detect latest Fair Value Gaps and give information about them for up to 5 tickers. This saves the user time by showing them all in a dashboard at the same time. The screener also uniquely shows information about the number of retests and the consumed percent of the FVG, as well as it's bullish & bearish volume. We believe that this extra information will help you spot reliable FVGs easier.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. Tickers
You can set up to 5 tickers for the screener to scan Fair Value Gaps here. You can also enable / disable them and set their individual timeframes.
2. General Configuration
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for FVG Zone Invalidation.
Zone Filtering -> With "Average Range" selected, algorithm will find FVG zones in comparison with average range of last bars in the chart. With the "Volume Threshold" option, you may select a Volume Threshold % to spot FVGs with a larger total volume than average.
FVG Detection -> With the "Same Type" option, all 3 bars that formed the FVG should be the same type. (Bullish / Bearish). If the "All" option is selected, bar types may vary between Bullish / Bearish.
Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal or High FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivies resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivies resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
The OG Outback [TTF]The Outback indicator
After a major overhaul of our Outback strategy, we decided that we would make our original version available for anyone to use.
The fundamental element of this indicator is based on price action relative to a slow moving average. That said, given that price will always tend towards a moving average, we have also implemented a method for helping filter out false signals leveraging a "consolidation cloud" and fast moving average. This, coupled with references to a customized version of the Relative Strength Index (RSI), has enabled us to provide significantly higher quality signals relating to price crossing a moving average.
Note: For this version, we have only prepared a single set of conditions and alerts (as noted by the 🦘 symbols). However it's worth noting there are several variations that can be done with some fundamental technical analysis and referencing additional indicators that can take this foundation and build upon it for a substantial increase in risk/reward and profit targets.
Daily Range - KaffienThis shows the daily range for the live chart and 4 other selectable ones. This travels back over 5 days and does the average. It provides the current week, previous week, current month and previous month averages.
You can use this to identify how much the ticker has moved already in the day and how much it may have left to move or if it is exhausted and looking for pull back.
Order Blocks Screener | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Order Blocks Screener! This screener can provide information about the latest order blocks in up to 5 tickers. You can also customize the algorithm that finds the order blocks and the styling of the screener.
Features of the new Order Blocks Screener :
Find Latest Order Blocks Accross 5 Tickers
Latest Status, Restests, Bullish & Bearish Volume
Customizable Algoritm / Styling
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Order blocks occur when there is a high amount of market orders exist on a price range. It is possible to find order blocks using specific formations on the chart.
The high & low volume of order blocks should be taken into consideration while determining their strengths. The determination of the high & low volume of order blocks are similar to FVGs, in a bullish order block, the high volume is the last 2 bars' total volume, while the low volume is the oldest bar's volume. In a bearish order block scenerio, the low volume becomes the last 2 bars' total volume.
This screener then finds order blocks accross 5 different tickers, and shows the latest information about them.
Status ->
Far -> The current price is far away from the order block.
Approaching ⬆️/⬇️ -> The current price is approaching the order block, and the direction it's approaching from.
Inside -> The price is currently inside the order block.
Retests -> Retest means the price to invalidate the order block, but failed to do so. Here you can see how many times the price retested the order block.
For the bullish / bearish volume, check the "How Does It Work" section.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This screener can detect latest order blocks and give information about them for up to 5 tickers. This saves the user time by showing them all in a dashboard at the same time. The screener shows the number of the retests of the order block as an unique trait. Another unique ability of the screener is that it shows the latest valid order block's bullish and bearish volume in the dashboard.

TradesAI - Elite (Premium)This is an all-inclusive, premium indicator that focuses mainly on price action analysis, a form of looking at raw price data and market structure to analyze and capture areas of interest where price could react.
This indicator is a perfect trading companion that saves you a lot of time in trading price action. Some of the popular methods that use price action analysis are "Smart Money Concepts (SMC)", "Inner Circle Trader (ICT)", and "Institutional Trading".
🔶 POWERFUL TOOLS
The indicator combines three main tools as a trading suite:
Trendlines
Market Structure Breakouts (MSB)
Order Blocks (OBs) and Reversal Order Blocks (ROBs)
These 3 main tools are interconnected together. Below we go over each, and then explain how and why they are brought in together. Please also note that the indicator's settings have tooltips next to most of them, with more detailed information.
🔶 TRENDLINES
This indicator automatically draws the most relevant Trendlines from pivot high/pivot low (based on the defined settings) as origins, while keeping track of candle closes across these Trendlines to adjust or invalidate accordingly.
The indicator will draw all possible Trendlines up to the maximum allowed by TradingView's PineScript. It uses a bullish pivot high candle to draw downtrends, and a bearish pivot low candle to draw uptrends. The algorithm will draw the most suitable active Trendlines from those origin points.
The indicator takes the origin point as the first point of the Trendline, then starts looking for the immediate next same-type candle (bullish to bullish or bearish to bearish), to draw the Trendline between the origin candle and this newer candle.
An uptrend is a ray connecting two bearish candles, as long as the second candle has a Low higher than the low of the origin (first) candle. A downtrend is a ray connecting two bullish candles, as long as the second candle has a high lower than the high of the origin (first) candle.
Upon drawing, the indicator then starts monitoring and adjusting this Trendline, by keeping the origin always the same but changing the second point. The goal is to keep reducing the slope of the Trendline till it is at 0 degrees (horizontal line). That then makes the Trendline "final". Note that you have the option to keep all Trendlines or just show the final, in the settings.
So, the algorithm has three states for the Trendlines:
Initial: not tested, meaning price hasn't yet broken through it and closed a candle beyond it, to cause a re-adjustment of this Trendline.
Broken: a candle hard closed (opened and closed) across it but still, the direction of the trend is maintained with a new Trendline from the same origin – could be replaced (or kept on the chart as a "backside", which is what we call a broken Trendline to be tested from the opposite side) with a new Trendline from the same origin, to the newest candle that caused the break to happen, as then it becomes the new second point of that Trendline.
Final: a candle hard closed (opened and closed) across it and can't draw a new Trendline from the same origin maintaining the direction of the trend (so an uptrend becomes a downtrend or a downtrend becomes an uptrend at this point, which is not allowed). This marks the end of the Trendline adjustment for that origin.
To summarize the Trendlines algorithm, imagine starting from a candle and drawing the Trendline, then keep re-adjusting it to make its slope less and less, till it becomes a horizontal line. That's the final state.
Here is a step-by-step scenario to demonstrate the algorithm:
Notice how first an Uptrend (green ray) is drawn between point A origin pivot (picked by our smart algorithm) and point B, both marked by green arrows:
Uptrend then turned into backside (where it flips from diagonal support to resistance where liquidity potentially resides):
Then a new uptrend is drawn from the same point A origin pivot to a new point B matching the filters in settings.
Finally, it turns also into a backside and is considered final because no more uptrends could be drawn from the same point A origin point.
Unlike traditional Trendline tools, this indicator takes into account numerous rules for each candlestick to determine valid support and resistance levels, which act as liquidity zones.
Unlike conventional Trendline tools, this indicator allows the user to define the pivot point left and right length to capture the proper ones as origins, then automatically recognizes and extends lines from them as liquidity zones where a reaction is expected. Moreover, the indicator monitors those Trendlines in real-time to switch them from buying to selling zones, and vice-versa, as the price structure changes.
Features
Log vs. Linear scale switch to show different Trendlines accordingly. When updating the Trendlines, or deciding whether Touches/Hard Closes are met, it makes a difference.
Ability to show all forms of Trendlines, final Trendlines or just backside Trendlines.
Why is it used?
For experienced traders, it offers the advantage of time efficiency, while new traders can bypass the steep learning curve of drawing Trendlines manually, which could practically be drawn between any two candlesticks on the chart (many variations).
🔶 MARKET STRUCTURE BREAKOUT (MSB)
The Market Structure Breakouts (MSB) tool is a trading tool that detects specific patterns on trading charts and provides ‘take profit’ regions based on the extended direction of the identified pattern. A breakout is a potential trading opportunity that presents itself when an asset's price moves away from a zone of accumulation (i.e. above a resistance level or below a support level) on increasing volume. The most famous form of market structure breakout is double/triple tops/bottoms, or what is referred to as W or M breakouts.
See this example below of how our MSB smart algorithm picked the local bottom of INDEX:BTCUSD
Here is a step-by-step scenario to demonstrate the algorithm:
First, the algorithm picks the pivot points according to our Machine Learning (ML) model, which uses Average True Range (ATR) and Moving Averages of various types to decide. It will then signal a Market Structure Breakout (MSB):
You may either short (sell) this MSB towards the targets (dotted green lines) and/or buy (long) at the targets (dotted green lines). Usually, these targets provide scalp moves, according to our model, but they may also act as strong reversal points on the chart.
Unlike standard indicators, the MSB tool identifies patterns that may not appear in every time frame due to specific conditions that need to be met, including Average True Range (ATR) and Moving Averages at the time of creation. Once these patterns are identified, the tool gives ‘take profit’ regions in the direction of the trading pattern and even allows for trading in the opposite direction (contrarian/counter-trend scalps) once those regions are reached. A confirmed breakout has the potential to drive the price to these specific targets, calculated based on our Machine Learning (ML) model. The Targets are the measured moves placed from the breakout point.
Features
Log vs. Linear scale switch to show different MSBs accordingly based on the ratios.
Detects trading patterns with specific conditions.
Ability to specify how sensitive the pivot points are for capturing market structure breakouts.
Provides take profit regions in the extended direction of the pattern.
Allows for versatile trading styles by permitting trades in the opposite direction (contrarian or counter-trend) once the take profit region is reached.
Highlights 2 levels of interest for potential trade initiation (or as targets of the MSB move).
🔶 ORDER BLOCK (OB) and REVERSAL ORDER BLOCK (ROB)
Before diving deeper into OBs and ROBs, you may consider the following chart for a general understanding of price ladders, and how they break. This is a bearish price ladder leaving Lower Lows and Lower Highs after an initial Low and High (L->H->LL->LH). Bullish ladders are the opposite (H->L->HH->HL).
In this bearish ladder case, notice the numbers representing the highs made (being lower). While this is a clean structure, markets don't always create such clean ladders, but you may switch to a higher timeframe to see it in a clearer form (usually, you will be able to spot it there).
In SMC or ICT concepts, the "Break Of Structure (BOS)" is pretty much creating a new lower low (LL) for the bearish ladder (and the creation of a higher high (HH) for the bullish ladder). By doing so, markets are grabbing liquidity below these levels and could either continue the ladder or stop/flip it. This gives you the context of how the ladder prints.
Price usually ends the ladder with a "Change of Character (CHoCH)", which represents a BOS (to grab liquidity) followed by an aggressive move in the opposite direction, which could lead the market to close the gaps and balance out. It is considered a good practice to then target liquidity in the opposite direction when a CHoCH happens, meaning for a bearish ladder you may target the pivots marked by 3, 2 and 1 at the top (start of the ladder).
Now we move to Order Blocks (OBs) and Reversal Order Blocks (ROBs). Think of them as sniper zones or micro ladders inside the bigger ladder/structure.
Order Blocks are usually used as zones of support and resistance on a trading chart where liquidity is present, or what some traders call "potential institutional interest zones". Order Blocks can be observed at the beginning of these strong moves of BOS or the CHoCH, leaving behind a zone (one or more candles) to be revisited later to balance the market. Therefore, these are interesting levels to place Limit/Market orders (sell the peaks or buy the valleys) instead of doing so at the swing highs or swing lows of the ladder (where BOS or CHoCH happened). The idea here is that the price could go deep into the ladder's step (peak or valley), and by doing so, it usually goes to these zones.
A bullish Order Block (Valley-OB) is the last bearish candle of a downtrend before a sequence of bullish candles (thus forming a "Valley"). A bearish Order Block (Peak-OB) is the last bullish candle of an uptrend before a sequence of bearish candles (thus forming a "Peak"). Our indicator captures the full range zones of the OB meaning not only the last candle but the sequence of same-type candles immediately next to it, which creates a zone, thus the name "OB/ROB Zone". Not only does the tool mark those levels on the chart, but it also has a smart tracking algorithm to remove the appropriate levels dynamically. It will monitor, candle by candle, what is happening to all the OBs/ROBs, and update them according to how they are being tested/visited (eg. weak testing being a touch, and strong testing being a touch of the same colour candle).
Bullish Valley-OB:
Bearish Peak-OB:
The indicator follows our concept of "Zone Activation" to determine whether to mark zones with dashed or solid lines.
If we take a bearish Peak-OB as an example, notice how it first gets drawn with a dashed red line (as the algorithm monitors how far the price moved away from the zone):
As price moves away (distance based on our Machin Learning (ML) model), it turns into solid lines:
Some people prefer to enter market orders or limit (pending) orders close to the zone, while others wait for it to hit. You may wait for these zones to turn into solid lines (meaning that the price made a decent move away from it before revisiting it). It depends on your trading strategy.
When Order Block (OB) zones break instead of holding the ladder, they turn into what we call Reversal Order Blocks (ROB); our algorithm of flipping these zones where price could react from the other side of the OB. Our algorithm monitor and highlight the most suitable ones to trade, based on +30 conditions and variables by our Machine Learning (ML) models. Examples of ROBs in the SMC or ICT trading community are a "Breaker Block", a "Mitigation Block" or a "Unicorn Setup". However, our algorithm filters the zones based on many factors such as ratios of price movement before, inside and after these zones, along with many other factors.
The algorithm monitors the ratios of how price moved into and away from the OB/ROB, as well as the type of move happening, to then filter the ones that are considered of high probability to break/not do a reaction.
A bullish Valley-OB (green) turns into a bearish Valley-ROB (neon red) where you may short (sell), while a bearish Peak-OB (red) turns into a bullish Peak-ROB (neon green) where you may long (buy).
Example of a bullish Valley-OB that turned into a bearish Valley-ROB:
Features
Log vs. Linear scale switch to show OBs/ROBs accordingly based on the ratios and the price action around these zones (before and after creation).
Uses our Machine Learning (ML) model to determine relevant Order Blocks (OBs) to show or hide based on price action.
Considers distribution and accumulation candles to find relevant Order Blocks.
Various types of triggers to mark those Order Blocks and their zones: breakout, close, hard close (open and close) or full close (low, high, open and close).
Monitors the 1:1 expansion of price from key areas of interest, which would change the importance of the zones through our concept of “Zone Activation”.
Allows for customization in the settings to display different types of Order Blocks (e.g., tested or untested).
Marking and invalidating levels based on many variables, including single or multiple candle zones, touching/closing beyond specific levels, weak/strong testing criteria, price tolerance % (near a level), and many more.
Provides color-coded visual representation for easier interpretation.
Why is it used?
Order Blocks (OB) and Reversal Order Blocks (ROB) represent the building blocks of price ladders, in conjunction with Swing Highs and Swing Lows. By identifying where liquidity is potentially present, they become common targets for big market players. Additionally, they provide clear invalidation points based on various types of candle closes, such as hard closes or simply a candle close.
One strategy that could be used is to open positions at these OB or ROB Levels as long as the chart maintains the trend (ladder), for a potentially higher win rate (or against it for a quick scalp). Be mindful of the breaking of a ladder or the building of a new one. A ladder breaks with a hard close (open and close) of a candle across the closest two levels; a ladder builds by not breaking back down across the levels it has tested. By definition, strong ladders will have a few untested levels and come back to wick them but still retain the structure of the laddering direction (trending with Lower Lows + Lower Highs or Higher Lows + Higher Highs).
🔶 COMBINING ALL TOOLS
In summary, Trendlines could be great tools to give you a general context of whether the price is laddering up or down. Once you spot the ladder, your goal is to either trade in its direction (not to go against the trend) or to counter-trend trade (contrarian). To do so, you could use the MSB tool to spot these BOS/CHoCH. And to give you more precise entries, you may rely on the OB/ROB zones which usually mesh over the ladder, to provide a sniper entry!

Volatility Visualizer by Oddbeaker LLCUse this to determine if a crypto pair has volatility suitable for your Oddbeaker Synthetic Miner. Draws entry/exit lines over the candles.
"Show me every place on the chart where I could have made X percent gains in Y days or less."
Inputs :
Percent Gain : Minimum percent gains to show on the chart.
Scan Bars : Maximum number of bars allowed to reach the profit target.
Notes :
Lines drawn on the chart indicate the entry and exit times and prices to reach the exact profit target.
The indicator only uses the low price of each candle to determine entry. It does not show every possible entry point.
When counting lines, count any group of lines that cross each other as one. Also, count any group of lines that do not cross but overlap in price over the same time period as one.
Tips :
For best results, set Percent Gain to double the amount of the sum of Min Profit and Min Stash on your Synth Miner. Example: If you have minProfit=5 and minStash=5, 5+5=10, so percentGain should be 20 on the chart.
Use a daily chart and set Scan Bars to 7 or less on highly volatile pairs.
Look for charts with the highest number of lines that don't overlap.
Use this indicator combined with the Synthetic Mining Channel for best results.
Custom Hourly Highlight PeriodsThis Pine Script indicator for TradingView allows users to visually highlight up to five distinct periods within a trading day directly on their chart. It's designed to enhance chart analysis by emphasizing specific time frames that may coincide with increased market activity, trading sessions, or personal trading strategies.
Features:
Customizable Highlight Periods: Users can define up to five separate highlight periods, specifying both start and end hours for each. This flexibility supports a wide range of trading strategies and time zones.
Individual Period Activation: Each highlight period can be individually enabled or disabled, allowing users to focus on specific times of interest without cluttering the chart.
Color-Coded Visualization: Each period is highlighted with a different transparent color (blue, red, green, purple, and orange) for clear distinction between different segments of the trading day. Colors are customizable to fit personal preferences or chart themes.
User-Friendly Inputs: Simple input fields make it easy to adjust start/end times and toggle the visibility of each period, requiring no coding experience to customize.
Use Cases:
Identifying Repeating Patterns: Certain regional markets exhibit unique behaviors, with some creating sell pressure in the morning, while others generate buy pressure. This indicator allows for clear visualization of these patterns.
Market Session Highlights: Emphasize the opening and closing hours of major markets (e.g., NYSE, NASDAQ, Forex markets) to identify potential volatility or trading opportunities.
Personal Trading Hours: Mark the time frames when you typically trade or when your trading strategy performs best.
Economic Release Times: Highlight periods when important economic reports are released, which can significantly impact market movement.
Trailing Support and Resistance Zones
This Script code is used to plot support and resistance levels on a chart. Here's how it works:
Input Parameters: The code starts by defining an input parameter lookback_period, which determines the number of bars to look back when calculating support and resistance levels. You can adjust this parameter based on your preferences or trading strategy. I recommend 50 for longer trends and larger profits.
Calculate Support and Resistance Levels: The calculateSR() function is defined to calculate the support and resistance levels based on the lowest low and highest high prices within the specified lookback period. It uses the ta.lowest() function to find the lowest low price and the ta.highest() function to find the highest high price over the specified number of bars.
Plotting: The function calculateSR() is called to compute the support and resistance levels, and the results are stored in the variables support_level and resistance_level, respectively. These levels are then plotted on the chart using the plot() function. The support levels are plotted in green, while the resistance levels are plotted in red. Both lines are drawn with a specified line width and style (plot.style_stepline).
By visualizing these support and resistance levels on the chart, you can identify potential price levels where the market might find buying or selling pressure. These levels are crucial for making trading decisions, such as setting entry and exit points, defining stop-loss and take-profit levels, and assessing the overall market sentiment.
I recommend using this indicator together with my morning & Evening Star Indicator to find entry zones.
Morning & Evening Star This Pine Script code is designed to identify Morning Star and Evening Star candlestick patterns on a chart. Here's how it works:
Calculate Candle Body and Wick Sizes: The script calculates the size of the candle body and wick based on the difference between the close and open prices, as well as the difference between the high and the maximum of the close and open prices.
Determine if the Candle is a Doji: It checks if the candle is a doji by comparing the size of the body to a fraction of the wick size. If the body size is less than or equal to 20% of the wick size, it is considered a doji.
Determine if the Current Candle is Bullish or Bearish: It checks if the current candle is bullish (close price is higher than open price) or bearish (close price is lower than open price).
Plot Shapes for Doji and Candles: It plots shapes on the chart to indicate buy and sell signals based on the presence of a doji and the formation of Morning Star or Evening Star patterns. These shapes are displayed below (for buy signals) or above (for sell signals) the respective candlesticks.
Combine this indicator with my support and resistance zones indicator for better results
ICT AMDWhat the indicator does
This indicator, named "ICT AMD indicator", is designed for traders who follow the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) theory, focusing on identifying and visualizing phases of market structure related to Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution. These phases are crucial for understanding the market's direction and potential turning points. The indicator:
Draws boxes on the chart to represent Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution areas, providing a visual representation of these key market phases.
Highlights areas where the market is likely accumulating assets before a big move, manipulating prices to trigger retail stop losses, and distributing assets after a significant price move.
How the indicator does it
The indicator implements its functionality through a series of calculated steps and conditions:
Utilizes pivot points to identify potential swing highs and lows within the market, which serve as the basis for determining the phases of Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution.
Allows users to customize the pivot range and whether to include wicks in the pivot calculation, giving flexibility in identifying swing points based on personal trading style or strategy.
Creates visual boxes on the chart where these phases are identified:
Accumulation boxes are drawn when the market is perceived to be gathering assets, indicated by a specific price behavior around swing lows.
Manipulation boxes appear around price levels where the market is likely pushing beyond key accumulation or distribution zones, possibly to trigger stop-loss orders.
Distribution boxes are established following the manipulation phase, indicating areas where the market is offloading assets post-accumulation.
Adjusts the right edge of these boxes as new price information becomes available, ensuring they remain relevant and accurate to current market conditions.
Employs color coding (green for Accumulation, red for Manipulation, and blue for Distribution) to make the distinction between different market phases clear and intuitive.
How traders can use it
Traders can leverage the "ICT AMD indicator" to enhance their market analysis and decision-making process:
Identify potential entry and exit points by observing the transitions between Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution phases.
Adjust their risk management strategies based on the identification of Manipulation areas, which could indicate areas of high stop-loss activity.
Use the Accumulation and Distribution boxes to gauge the strength of a trend or potential reversal points, as these areas often precede significant market moves.
Incorporate the indicator's insights with other analysis tools or indicators to confirm trade hypotheses or to refine entry and exit strategies.
Apply the visual cues provided by the indicator to anticipate market moves based on historical patterns of Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution, aligning their trading strategies with the inferred market psychology.
By understanding and utilizing the visual and analytical insights provided by the "ICT AMD indicator", traders can potentially improve their trading outcomes by aligning their strategies with the underlying market dynamics it reveals.
WTI Crude Oil Lot Size Calculator by AdrianFx94Indicator on Trading Chart: Once you add this script to your trading chart (specifically a WTI Crude Oil chart), it appears as an indicator. This means it runs alongside the price data and other technical analysis tools you might be using.
Input Your Trading Parameters:
Balance (USD): You need to enter your trading account balance in USD. This is the amount of money you have in your account.
Risk Percentage (%): This is where you define the percentage of your account balance that you're willing to risk in a single trade. For example, if your account balance is $5000 and you set the risk percentage to 1%, you're willing to risk $50 on a trade.
Stop Loss Pip Size (Pip): Here, you enter the size of your stop loss in pips. A pip is a small measure of change in a currency pair in the forex market. In the context of WTI Crude Oil trading, it represents a small change in the price.
Automated Lot Size Calculation: Based on the inputs you provide, the script automatically calculates the lot size you should use for your trade. The calculation takes into account the balance you're willing to risk, the percentage of risk, and the stop loss size. This helps in managing risk by suggesting the amount of WTI Crude Oil you should trade (in lots) that aligns with your risk tolerance.
Display Results in a Table: The script generates a table displayed on the top right corner of your chart. This table shows:
Your entered balance (in USD).
The risk percentage you've set.
The calculated lot size, which indicates how many lots of WTI Crude Oil you can trade based on your risk management parameters.
Real-Time Updates: As this script is part of an indicator on your chart, it updates in real time. This means if your account balance changes or if you decide to adjust your risk parameters, you can re-enter these values, and the script will update the lot size accordingly.
This tool is particularly useful for WTI Crude Oil traders who follow strict risk management rules. By automating the calculation of the lot size, it saves time and helps in making informed and disciplined trading decisions.
QM Signal [TradingFinder] Quasimodo Pattern - Head and Shoulders🔵 Introduction
One of the patterns in "RTM" is the "QM" pattern, also known as "Quasimodo". Its name is derived from the appearance of "Hunchback of Notre-Dame" from Victor Hugo's novel. It is a type of "Head and Shoulders" pattern.
🔵 Formation Method
🟣 Upward Trend
In an upward trend, the left shoulder is formed, and the price creates a new peak higher than the left shoulder peak . After a decline, it manages to break the previous low and move upward again. We expect the price to return approximately between and to form the "QM" pattern.
🟣 Downward Trend
In a downward trend, with a price decline, a new valley is created, forming the left shoulder, and the price forms a new valley lower than the left shoulder valley . After a price increase, it manages to break the previous high and move downward again. We expect the price to return approximately between and to form the "Quasimodo" pattern.
Note: The "QM" pattern is a specific type of head and shoulders pattern in which in the first move, the previous support is broken and it's the best condition for price reversal.
🔵 Entry Conditions for "Buy" and "Sell"
🟢 Buy
Buy Position : When a complete "QM" pattern is formed in a downtrend; we expect the price to reach the left shoulder area (with confirmation) during the retracement to enter the "BUY" position.
Profit Target in Buy Scenario : Expecting a move to the peak that broke it and the highest point in the current "Swing".
Stop Loss : Below the "Head," which is the lowest point.
🔴 Sell
Sell Position : When a "QM" pattern is formed in an uptrend, we look for entry into the "Sell" position as the price retraces to the left shoulder area.
Profit Target in Sell Scenario : Expecting a move to the price floor that has been broken and the entire "Swing" or .
Take Profit : Above the highest point or above the area will be the "SL" region.
Note : Certainly, no method alone guarantees trading capability and requires different confirmations. This indicator only detects the "QM" pattern, and the rest of the analysis will be the responsibility of the user.
Note : These profit and loss limits are based on market movements and will be provided as approximate and supportive.
Open Liquidity Heatmap [BigBeluga]Open Liquidity Heatmap is an indicator designed to display accumulated resting liquidity on the chart.
Unlike any other liquidity heatmap, this aims to accumulate liquidity at specific levels that build up over time, showing larger areas of liquidity.
🔶 FEATURES
The indicator includes the following settings:
Lookback : Used to determine the range calculation of the heatmap.
Leverage : Leverage of the liquidation (Counted as % in price, Example: 4.5 will return a distance from price of 4.5%, indicating any possible resting liquidity in this range).
Levels : Amount of levels to display (Each level is counted as liquidity resting on the chart; fewer levels will return a bigger area of liquidity sitting on the chart).
Mode : Apply a color gradient from the minimum liquidation to the maximum liquidity level. Set the maximum color gradient value (Counted as volume).
Offset : Automatically determine the offset range of the Volume Profiles. Manual offset of the Volume Profiles.
🔶 CALCULATION
for i = 0 to step - 1
float plotter = na
switch i
0 =>
plotter := hs
=>
plotter := hs - diff * ( i )
cls.hm.gnL(plotter)
cls.vp.put(plotter, 0)
We calculate levels like a normal volume profile with steps, from the highest point within the lookback to the lowest one. Each level will contain the corresponding amount of volume that the candle has closed in that range.
As we can see in the image above, we add liquidity each time the distance in % from price is between two levels.
Unlike many liquidity indicators that provide a single candle liquidity heatmap, this aims to add up liquidity (volume) in already present levels.
This can be extremely useful to see which levels are likely to be more liquid and tend to get a bigger reaction to the price.
Imagine it like a range of levels that each time price revisits that area, a new position area is added; we add volume in that area each time price visits that zone. Liquidity builds up in those zones, causing a bigger reaction to the price once the price visits it.
This indicator is not the same as a single candle heatmap like many others. What is a single candle heatmap?
A single candle heatmap is when a level is created on every new candle, coloring the level based on the total volume of it.
This indicator, on the contrary, aims to provide a more specific use by adding up liquidity each time price visits it.
🔶 BASIC DEMOSTRATION
This is a basic demonstration of how we can spot high liquidity points overall using confluence:
We see the POC of the liquidation in a low volume area of the normal volume profile adding up as confluence.
Resistance from the POC Volume Profile suggesting price will go lower.
Major long open liquidity down.
As we can see, price takes out all the long liquidity and right after pumping, indicating that all the major liquidity got taken out.
Some key note to take is that a POC in the liquidation heatmap in a low volume area of the normal Volume Profile add confluence of a possible big reaction in that zone.
In the forex market, we suggest to use a low distance from price (Leverage) while in a crypto market you can use the one that fit the best the current timeframe.
🔶 CONCLUSION
This indicator aims to show open resting liquidity that had built up over time, showing the most amount of liquidation in specific areas in an aggregated way unlike many liquidation heatmap indicators that show single-level liquidation.

Fibonacci Inversion Fair Value Gaps | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Fibonacci Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG) indicator! Inverse Fair Value Gaps occur when a Fair Value Gap becomes invalidated. They reverse the role of the original Fair Value Gap, making a bullish zone bearish and vice versa. This indicator plots the Fibonacci retracement levels of the IFVG, which often act like support & resistance levels.
Features of the new Fibonacci IFVGs Indicator :
Renders Bullish / Bearish IFVG Zones
Renders Fibonacci Retracement Levels Of IFVGs
Combination Of Overlapping FVG Zones
Variety Of Zone Detection / Sensitivity / Filtering / Invalidation Settings
High Customizability
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator stands out with its ability to render up to 3 Fibonacci retracement levels of IFVGs. Fibonacci retracement levels are widely used within trading, and we wanted to implement them for IFVG zones. You can also customize the FVG Filtering method, FVG & IFVG Zone Invalidation, Detection Sensitivity etc. according to your needs to get the best performance from the indicator.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A Fair Value Gap generally occur when there is an imbalance in the market. They can be detected by specific formations within the chart. An Inverse Fair Value Gap is when a FVG becomes invalidated, thus reversing the direction of the FVG.
This indicator renders 0.618, 0.5 and 0.382 (can be changed from the settings) Fibonacci retracement levels of the IFVGs, which often act as support and resistances. Check this example :
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
FVG Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for FVG Zone Invalidation.
IFVG Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for IFVG Zone Invalidation. This setting also switches the type for IFVG consumption.
Zone Filtering -> With "Average Range" selected, algorithm will find FVG zones in comparison with average range of last bars in the chart. With the "Volume Threshold" option, you may select a Volume Threshold % to spot FVGs with a larger total volume than average.
FVG Detection -> With the "Same Type" option, all 3 bars that formed the FVG should be the same type. (Bullish / Bearish). If the "All" option is selected, bar types may vary between Bullish / Bearish.
Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal or High FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivies resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivies resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
Show Historic Zones -> If this option is on, the indicator will render invalidated IFVG zones as well as current IFVG zones. For a cleaner look at current IFVG zones which are not invalidated yet, you can turn this option off.
2. Fibonacci Retracement Levels
You can enable / disable up to 3 different Fibonnaci Retracement levels at this group of settings. You can also switch their line styles between solid, dashed and dotted as well as changing their colors.
GG - LevelsThe GG Levels indicator is a tool designed for day trading U.S. equity futures. It highlights key levels intraday, overnight, intermediate-swing levels that are relevant for intraday futures trading.
Terminology
RTH (Regular Trading Hours): Represents the New York session from 09:30 to 17:00 EST.
ON Session (Overnight Session): Represents the trading activity from 17:00 to 09:29 EST.
IB (Initial Balance): The first hour of the New York session, from 09:30 to 10:30 EST.
Open: The opening price of the RTH session.
YH (Yesterday's High): The highest price during the RTH session of the previous day.
YL (Yesterday's Low): The lowest price during the RTH session of the previous day.
YC (Yesterday's Close): The daily bar close which for futures gets updated to settlement.
IBH (Initial Balance High): The highest price during the IB session.
IBL (Initial Balance Low): The lowest price during the IB session.
ONH (Overnight High): The highest price during the ON session.
ONL (Overnight Low): The lowest price during the ON session.
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price): The volume-weighted average price that resets each day.
Why is RTH Important?
Tracking the RTH session is important because often times the overnight session can be filled with "lies". It is thought that because the overnight session is lower volume price can be pushed or "manipulated" to extremes that would not happen during higher volume times.
Why is the ON Session Important Then?
Just because the ON session can be thought as a "lie" doesn't mean it is relevant to know. For example, if price is stuck inside the ON range then you can think of the market as rotational or range-bound. If price is above the ON range then it can be thought of as bullish. If price is below the ON range then it can be thought as bearish.
What is IB?
IB or initial balance is the first hour of the New York Session. Typically the market sets the tone for the day in the first hour. This tone is similarly a map like the ON session. If we are above the IBH then it is bullish and likely a trend day to the upside. If we are below the IBL then it is bearish and likely a trend day to the downside. If we are in IB then we want to avoid conducting business in the middle of IBH and IBL to avoid getting chopped up in a range bound market.
These levels are not a holy grail
You should use this indicator as guide or map for context about the instrument you are trading. You need to combine your own technical analysis with this indicator. You want as much context confirming your trade thesis in order to enter a trade. Simply buying or selling because we are above or below a level is not recommended in any circumstance. If it were that easy I would not publish this indicator.
Adjustments
In the indicator settings you can adjust the RTH, ON, and IB session-time settings. All of the times entered must be in EST (Eastern Standard Time). You may want to do this to apply the levels to a foreign market.
