Fair Value Gap Absorption Indicator [LuxAlgo]The Fair Value Gap Absorption Indicator aims to detect fair value gap imbalances and tracks the mitigation status of the detected fair value gap by highlighting the mitigation level till a new fair value gap is detected.
The Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a widely utilized tool among price action traders to detect market inefficiencies or imbalances. These imbalances arise when buying or selling pressure is significant, resulting in a large upward or downward move, leaving behind an imbalance in the market.
🔶 USAGE
A fair value gap appears in a triple-candle pattern when there is a large candle whose previous candle’s high and subsequent candle’s low do not fully overlap the large candle. The space between these wicks is known as the fair value gap.
Price can come back to these imbalance areas and mitigate them, however, this is sometimes a process involving multiple bars, the displayed imbalances by the indicator allow tracking the current mitigation level of a displayed imbalance.
Fair value gaps can become a magnet for the price before continuing in the same direction. Traders commonly wait for the price to revert toward the fair value gap to clear out the imbalance before continuing to move toward the prevailing trend.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹Fair Value Gaps
Fair Value Gap Width Filter: defines the filtering multiplier, please refer to the tooltip of the input option for further details.
Bullish, Imbalance and Mitigation: color customization option.
Bearish, Imbalance and Mitigation: color customization option.
Display Percentage of Mitigation: Display the percentage of the mitigation areas.
Historical Fair Value Gaps: toggles the visibility of the historical fair value gaps.
🔶 LIMITATIONS
Please note that filtering cannot be applied for the first 144 (atr fixed-length) candles since the atr value won't be present that is used for filtering.

Macro Matrix [Pro+] (DRxICT)Description:
Visualize the intricacies of the financial markets with Macro Matrix, a tool meticulously crafted with insights drawn from the teachings of Inner Circle Trader (ICT), and enhanced by ICT_Concepts.
A Macro is a short list of orders that the Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm (IPDA) will run to determine which liquidity to seek or which inefficiencies to rebalance. ICT traders are taught to focus on these Time windows to frame the clearest narrative and observe defining market behaviour. Traders can use the Macro Matrix to stay alerted about key market timings and price swings that arise during these times.
The Macro Matrix Pro+ brings the power of Macros to new heights thanks to ICT_Concepts’s studies of the market, by taking the price range defined by a Macro Time Window (i.e. 9:50-10:10 AM New York Time), and projecting it above and below the original range creating extensions, similar to DR models. Analysts can use these extensions to measure future price swings as targets, retracement levels, or key reversals.
In addition, analysts have the flexibility to choose different extensions over time. Extend projections until the next Macro, for the next 3 Macros, or even for a whole day. By considering and cross-referencing previous Macros, analysts can gain insights into their potential impact on the market and identify key market pivots.
When news events occur in specific macros on specific days of the week, these time based ranges can offer unique insights. This is particularly true when we consider the different impacts that various days of the week can have on market trends. By analyzing news events that fall within macro time ranges, analysts can gain a deeper understanding of the ranges that influence future market movements.

Auto Chart Patterns [Trendoscope®]🎲 Introducing our most comprehensive automatic chart pattern recognition indicator.
Last week, we published an idea on how to algorithmically identify and classify chart patterns.
This indicator is nothing but the initial implementation of the idea. Whatever we explained in that publication that users can do manually to identify and classify the pattern, this indicator will do it for them.
🎲 Process of identifying the patterns.
The bulk of the logic is implemented as part of the library - chartpatterns . The indicator is a shell that captures the user inputs and makes use of the library to deliver the outcome.
🎯 Here is the list of steps executed to identify the patterns on the chart.
Derive multi level recursive zigzag for multiple base zigzag length and depth combinations.
For each zigzag and level, check the last 5 pivots or 6 pivots (based on the input setting) for possibility of valid trend line pairs.
If there is a valid trend line pair, then there is pattern.
🎯 Rules for identifying the valid trend line pairs
There should be at least two trend lines that does not intersect between the starting and ending pivots.
The upper trend line should touch all the pivot highs of the last 5 or 6 pivots considered for scanning the patterns
The lower trend line should touch all the pivot lows of the last 5 or 6 pivots considered for scanning the patterns.
None of the candles from starting pivot to ending pivot should fall outside the trend lines (above upper trend line and below lower trend line)
The existence of a valid trend line pair signifies the existence of pattern. What type of pattern it is, to identify that we need to go through the classification rules.
🎲 Process of classification of the patterns.
We need to gather the following information before we classify the pattern.
Direction of upper trend line - rising, falling or flat
Direction of lower trend line - rising, falling or flat
Characteristics of trend line pair - converging, expanding, parallel

Golden Swap (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Golden Swap indicator, as designed by Zeiierman, focuses on identifying reversal points around the key levels indicated by the indicator. This pattern works by analyzing the relationship between current and past price movements, considering factors like price symmetry, baseline boundaries, and precision pin bar formations. It can offer insights into potential market reversals, allowing for more precise entries and exits.
█ How It Works
Golden Swap Long
In a market with bullish momentum, we expect the price to dip a bit before it continues to rise again. This dip is like a small retreat in an overall march upwards. So, the pattern aims to assess whether the current period's dip is relatively shallow, indicating that the overall bullish momentum remains robust despite temporary price fluctuations.
Golden Swap Short
In a market with bearish momentum (indicating selling pressure or bearish sentiment), we may still see the price rise a bit before continuing its drop. This temporary rise is like a slight bounce in an overall downward movement. In simpler terms, even when the price bounces up a bit, it's not strong enough to overcome the recent pressure of selling. The sellers are still dominating, and the price will likely continue to drop.
█ The signal is reinforced by symmetry, BaselineBound criteria, and a bearish Precision PinBar.
⚪ Symmetry in Price Movements: The pattern uses the Symmetry Precision filter to analyze the symmetry of recent price movements. This helps in determining the likelihood of a reversal. A high degree of symmetry suggests a more reliable reversal signal.
⚪ BaselineBound Criteria: This component involves the BaselineBound Threshold, which acts as a filter to validate the strength of the potential reversal. Bullish and bearish conditions are assessed based on how the current close price compares to a calculated range around the high and low of the previous period.
⚪ Precision PinBar Analysis: The pattern also incorporates the Precision PinBar filter, which evaluates the characteristics of the recent price bars. A Precision PinBar is a candlestick with a small body and a long tail, indicating a potential reversal.
⚪ Display of Key Levels: The indicator can show Open, High, and Low levels for selected timeframes, helping traders identify key price points.
█ How to Use
The Golden Swap pattern is a valuable confirmation tool, particularly around key levels or session highs and lows. It highlights instances where a previous high or low has been respected, followed by a price reversal—flipping back up in an upward trend (Golden Swap Long) or flipping back down in a downward trend (Golden Swap Short). When this pattern emerges near a key level, it strongly suggests that the price will continue moving in the direction indicated by the current trend.
Consider it akin to a minor liquidity hunt above the previous high or below the previous low. The presence of the Golden Swap pattern, especially when aligned with other indicators and filters, enhances its reliability as a signal for the continuation of the prevailing market trend.
█ Settings
Timeframe Selection: Choose from various timeframes for signal calculation.
Filter Adjustments: Fine-tune the Symmetry Precision, BaselineBound Threshold, and Precision PinBar settings to filter signals according to specific criteria.
Display Options for Key Levels: Enable or disable the display of key price levels and select timeframes for these levels.

First CandleDay first candle breakout Indicator
In this indicator script, we search for the high and low of the first candle of the day. After the breakout of either the high or low, we initiate a trade. This indicator is based on the breakout of the opening range of the first candle.
Buy Breakout -
1. Identify the high and low of the first candle of the day.
2. If there is an upside breakout, or a downside breakout, stop extend the high and low accordingly.
Sell Breakout -
1. Identify the high and low of the first candle of the day.
2. If there is a downside breakout or an upside breakout, stop extend the high and low accordingly.
Qu_Trend+
composition
- Consists of a thick trend line and a thin yellow line.
- The largest (green/red) lines indicate rising and falling markets.
- This line represents the 13-candle moving average of Tilson T3.
- The reason for 13 candles is because it best matches the recent market price based on Bitcoin.
- This value cannot be changed, so if you need it, please modify the public code and use it.
- The yellow line is the MA20 line, the ‘Bollinger Band center line’
(UI will show whether this line has been breakout)
- The same algorithm as 20 of the basic moving average (close standard) is applied.
- The algorithm for breakthrough is calculated based on real-time prices, not based on closing prices.
An additional short-term SMA is created, and whether it crosses the SMA is classified as a breakout/resistance.
How to use it
- If the trend line becomes gentle, it may indicate a change in trend when + MA20 is broken.
- While the slope of the trend line is steep, it indicates that the trend is difficult to change.
(If the trend changes at this time, it is likely to move sideways)
- If the trend changes continuously, it is a sideways market.
At this time, watch out for the movement of the end point where the sideways trend ends.
RSI and MACD Crossover SignalsBest for Short-Term/Intraday Trading on SPY, TSLA, NVDA
Strategy Concept:
This strategy is designed for short-term trading across various assets and timeframes (Recommend: 1min, 5min, 15min, 1hr, 4hr, 1day). It leverages the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) to identify potential buy and sell signals. The strategy aims to capture moments where the asset's price is likely to experience a reversal or a significant momentum shift.
By combining the RSI and MACD indicators, the strategy seeks to increase the accuracy of identifying potential trend reversals or continuations, taking into account both the momentum and the trend direction of the asset.
RSI (Relative Strength Index) Parameters:
The RSI period is set to 14
Overbought and oversold levels are set at 70 and 30, respectively
The RSI is used to identify potential reversal points when the asset is overbought or oversold
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) Parameters:
The MACD settings are configured with a fast length of 8, a slow length of 34, and a signal smoothing of 8
The MACD line crossing over or under the signal line is used to confirm the potential buy or sell signals indicated by the RSI
Signal Generation Logic:
Buy Signal:
Triggered when the RSI crosses above the oversold level (30).
Confirmed if the MACD line crosses above the signal line within a delay period of up to 4 candles after the RSI signal.
Sell Signal:
Triggered when the RSI crosses below the overbought level (70).
Confirmed if the MACD line crosses below the signal line within a delay period of up to 4 candles after the RSI signal.
Additional Features:
The script includes a notification system that alerts the trader when either a buy or sell signal is detected. The alert signal is combined with both the buy and sell signal in 1 so people without premium can be alerted when any signal appears.
Buy signals are visually represented on the chart below the price bars with a green "BUY" label.
Sell signals are indicated above the price bars with a red "SELL" label.
Usage and Application:
This strategy is versatile and recommended to be played with scalps and day trades. I prefer SPY 0DTE on the 1 and 5 minute timeframe and looking for bigger trend reversals on the 1hr, 4hr, and 1 day timeframe.
PinBar and Bloom Pattern Concept (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Precision PinBar and Bloom Pattern Concept by Zeiierman introduces two new patterns, which we call the Bloom Pattern and the Precision PinBar Pattern. These patterns are used in conjunction with market open, high, and low values from different periods and timeframes. Together, they form the basis of the "PinBar and Bloom Pattern Concept." The main idea is to identify key bullish and bearish candlestick patterns around key levels plotted on the chart.
The key levels are the Open, High, and Low from the current and previous periods of the selected timeframe. Users can choose how many previous periods to be drawn on the chart.
█ How It Works
The indicator operates by analyzing market data over selected timeframes. It uses inputs such as previous period open-high-low lines, timeframe selections, and pattern detection settings like Symmetry Precision and Range Threshold. These parameters allow the indicator to identify specific market conditions, including symmetrical movements in price and significant price range deviations, which form the basis of the Bloom and Precision PinBar patterns.
Symmetry Signal:
Purpose: To detect symmetry in price movements based on a precision threshold.
How It Works: This function calculates the symmetry of high and low prices within the specified precision. It returns two boolean values indicating whether the high and low prices are within the symmetry precision.
BaselineBound Pattern:
Purpose: To identify bullish or bearish patterns based on a range factor.
How It Works: The function calculates whether the current close price is within a certain range of the high-low difference of the previous period. It returns bullish and bearish signals based on these calculations.
█ ● Bloom Pattern
The Bloom Pattern is a unique candlestick pattern designed to identify significant trend reversals or continuations. It's not a single candlestick formation but a combination of a few elements that signal a potential strong move in the market.
⚪ Previous and Current Candle Analysis: The Bloom Pattern looks at the relationship between the current candle and the previous one. It checks whether the current candle's body (the range between its opening and closing prices) fully encompasses the body of the previous candle. This condition is known as "embodying."
⚪ Baseline Bound: The Baseline Bound concept involves comparing the closing price to a range established by the high and low of the previous candle, adjusted by a factor (the rangeFactor). This helps in identifying if the current price is showing a bullish or bearish tendency relative to the previous period's price movement.
⚪ Symmetry Signal: Additionally, it uses the Symmetry Signal, which measures the symmetry between the high and low prices of two consecutive candles.
⚪ Bullish and Bearish Signals: The combination of these conditions (embodying, baseline bound, and symmetry) results in either a bullish or bearish signal. A bullish signal suggests a potential upward trend, while a bearish signal indicates a possible downward trend.
█ ● Precision PinBar Pattern
The Precision PinBar Pattern is a refined version of the traditional Pin Bar, a well-known candlestick pattern used in trading. This pattern focuses on identifying market reversals with a high degree of accuracy.
⚪ Identification of Pin Bars: The function first identifies a pin bar, characterized by a small body and a long wick. The long wick indicates a rejection of certain price levels, and the small body shows little change between the opening and closing prices.
⚪ Tail and Body Length Analysis: The script calculates the length of the bar's tail (wick) and compares it to the length of the body. A qualifying pin bar typically has a tail at least three times longer than its body, suggesting a strong rejection of prices.
⚪ Positioning and Thresholds:
Open-Close Position: The function checks whether the opening and closing prices are within a certain threshold of the high or low of the bar, which helps in distinguishing between bullish and bearish pin bars.
⚪ Baseline Bound and Symmetry: Like the Bloom Pattern, it incorporates Baseline Bound and Symmetry Signal concepts to validate the significance of the pin bar.
⚪ Bullish and Bearish Signals: Depending on these factors, a bullish or bearish pin bar is identified. A bullish PinBar suggests potential upward price movement, while a bearish PinBar indicates possible downward price movement.
█ How to Use
Using the Bloom and Precision PinBar patterns in conjunction with key market levels, such as previous highs and lows, can be a powerful strategy for traders. These market levels often act as significant points of support and resistance, and combining them with the patterns can offer strong trade signals. Here's how traders can effectively utilize these patterns:
Identifying Key Market Levels
Previous Highs and Lows: These are the highest and lowest points reached in previous trading periods and are often considered strong levels of resistance (in the case of previous highs) and support (in the case of previous lows).
Using the Bloom Pattern
Near Previous Highs (Resistance): If a Bloom Pattern emerges near a previous high, it could indicate a potential bearish reversal. Traders might interpret this as a signal to consider short positions, especially if the pattern shows bearish characteristics.
Near Previous Lows (Support): Conversely, a bullish Bloom Pattern near a previous low could suggest a trend reversal to the upside. This could be a signal for traders to consider long positions.
Using the Precision PinBar Pattern
Precision PinBar at Resistance: A bearish Precision PinBar appearing near a previous high can be a strong signal for a potential downward move. This setup is often used by traders to enter short positions, anticipating a price rejection at this resistance level.
Precision PinBar at Support: Similarly, a bullish Precision PinBar at or near a previous low suggests that the market is rejecting lower prices, indicating potential upward momentum. This is typically used by traders as a cue to go long.
█ Settings
Previous Open-High-Low Lines: Determine the number of historical periods to analyze. Settings include toggling the visibility of lines and labels and specifying the number of periods.
Timeframe & Current Period: Select the timeframe for current market analysis. Options include different timeframes (e.g., 1H, 1D) and customization of line styles and colors.
Pattern Settings: Adjust the Symmetry Precision and Range Threshold to fine-tune the indicator's sensitivity to specific market movements.
Bloom & Precision PinBar Pattern: Enable or disable the detection of specific patterns and customize the visual representation of these patterns on the chart.

Crypto Candlestick Patterns - CN VersionIntroduction:
The candlestick chart has been used for centuries since the Japanese applications. Based on the candlestick charting, people developed candle pattern analysis. Now we have tons of books or articles illustrating the usage of reversal patterns and continuation patterns, and computers provide a faster and preciser way to recognize these pattern.
Originally we have a common *All Candlestick Patterns* indicator to use. This indicator works well for most of the markets or commodities including stocks and futures. However, for cryptocurrency market, quite a few patterns are not suitable anymore. For example, crypto markets are continuously running 7x24hrs and the big coins with good volume tend to have almost continuous price in commonly used time periods. Hence, original patterns with "window" or "jump" concepts are usually not applied to crypto.
For these issues, I modified the original *All Candlestick Patterns* indicator and introduced the Chinese version for people speaking such language.
Like most of the other indicators, I personally do not recommend anyone to simply follow the patterns it shows to enter the market. You may take these recognized patterns as a reference, and further actions on trading should be done with several other tools, such as MACD, RSI, Stochastic and etc.
Usage:
The application of this indicator is basically the same as the original *All Candlestick Patterns* and you will get an automatically generated pattern recognition by your computer system.
There are a few parameters to adjust for the indicator:
Trending Detection Settings: Here you can choose SMA-Fast, SMA-Fast/Slow or None detecting options to recognize the current market trend. This is a minor improvement from the original indicator and you can choose your preferred trending detecting settings by changing the length of SMA.
Candlestick Settings: You may adjust the rules to recognize the properties of candlesticks. I add a "perturbation" parameter here, which actually is an error tolerance for pattern recognition. Some seemingly pattern may not fulfill the strict rules of classic candlestick patterns, but we may recognize them by watch the charting on our own. Hence this error tolerance may show more potential patterns from the charting.
Plot Settings: It is the usually colour choice and providing options for bullish/bearish.
Pattern Settings: Here you can select the patterns that you would like to see from the charting. You can pick the preferred reversal patterns or choose to show all the patterns. It's all up to you!
Features:
Language Translation: Since this is a Chinese language version. I have replaced all the English explanation of patterns to Chinese ones. Move your mouse to the label, you will find a brief intro of the pattern and a notice about bullish or bearish signals it indicates.
Alerts: As the same as the original one, we will have the alert options from this indicator. All the alerts and their messages are Chinese. You can activate alerts based on this indicator from the alert management section, as the same as many other indicators you have used before.
Future Improvements:
For now I am satisfied with the work I have done, and I may apply it to several charts. It's welcome for any users to take a look at the codes and put modifications or improvements towards it. Currently most of the comments in the code are in Chinese language, since basically it's for Chinese speaking users, while the code itself and the parameter names should be pretty easy to understand in English. (I have been using English for writing in the past 8 years, hence this introduction is in English as well.)
Forex Master Pattern Screener 2Overview
The Forex Master Pattern Screener 2 is based on the Master Pattern, which includes contraction, expansion, and trend phases. This indicator is designed to identify and visualize market volatility, market phases, multi-timeframe contractions, liquidity points, and pivot calculations. It provides a clear image of the market's expansion and contraction phases. It's based on an alternative form of technical analysis that reveals the psychological patterns of financial markets through three phases.
Unlike the other master pattern indicators that just use highs and lows and aren't as accurate for finding contractions, this one uses actual measures of volatility to find extremely low levels of volatility and has customizable parameters depending on what you want to do.
What is the Forex Master Pattern?
The Forex Master Pattern is a framework that revolves around understanding market cycles, comprising the three main phases: contraction, expansion, and trend.
Contraction Phase: During this phase, the market has low volatility and is consolidating within a narrow range. Institutional volume tends to be low, and it's suggested to avoid trade entries during this period.
Expansion Phase: Volatility starts to increase, and there start to be bigger moves in price. Institutional traders start accumulating positions in this phase, and they might manipulate prices to draw in retail traders, creating liquidity for their own buying or selling goals.
Trend Phase: This final phase completes the market cycle. Institutional traders begin taking profits, leading to a reversal. This triggers panic among retail traders, resulting in liquidations and stops. This generates liquidity for institutional traders to profit, leaving retail traders with overvalued positions.
Value Line:
The "value line" acts as the fair value zone or the neutral belief zone where buyers and sellers agree on fair value. It can be likened to the center of gravity and is created during contraction zones.
Applications:
Identifying these phases and understanding the value lines can help traders determine the market's general direction and make better trading decisions.
This isn't a strategy but a concept explaining market behavior, allowing traders to develop various strategies based on these principles
The contractions, which are based on volatility calculations, can help you find out when big moves will occur, known as expansions.
How traders can use this indicator
1. Identifying Market Phases:
Contraction Phase: Look for periods where the market has low volatility and is contracting, indicated by a narrow range and highlighted by the contraction box. During this phase, traders prepare for a breakout but usually avoid making new trades until a clearer trend emerges.
Expansion Phase: When the indicator signals an expansion, it suggests that the market is moving out of consolidation and may be beginning a new trend. Traders might look for entry points here, anticipating a continuation of the trend.
Trend Phase: As the market enters this phase, traders look for signs of sustained movement in one direction and consider positions that benefit from this trend.
2. Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
By looking at multiple timeframes, traders can get a broader view of the market. For instance, a contraction phase in a shorter timeframe within an expansion phase in a longer timeframe might suggest a pullback in an overall uptrend. This indicator comes with a MTF contraction screener that is customizable.
2. Fair Value Lines:
The fair value acts like a "center of gravity.". Traders could use this as a reference point for understanding market sentiment and potential reversal points. This indicator shows these values in the middle of the contraction boxes.
3. Volatility Analysis:
This indicator's volatility settings can help traders understand the market's current volatility state. High volatility indicates a more active market with larger, faster moves, while low volatility might suggest caution and tighter stop-losses or take-profits. If volatility is contracting, then an expansion is imminent. This indicator shows the volatility with percentile ranks in 0-100 values and also alerts you when volatility is contracting, aka the contraction phase.
Volatility Calculations:
This indicator uses a geometric standard deviation to measure volatility based on historical price data. This metric quantifies the variability of price changes over a specified lookback period and then computes a percentile rank within a defined sample period. This percentile calculation helps evaluate the current volatility compared to historical levels.
Based on the percentile rank, the indicator sets thresholds to determine whether the current volatility is within a range considered "contraction" or not. For example, if there are really low levels of volatility on the percentile rank, then there is currently a contraction phase. The indicator also compares the volatility value against a moving average, where values above the current moving average value signal the expansion phase.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTF):
This indicator comes with a multi-timeframe table that shows contractions for 5 different timeframes, and the table is customizable.
Bands:
This indicator comes with bands that are constructed based on the statistical calculations of the standard deviation applied to the log-transformed closing prices. It is commonly assumed that the distribution of prices fits some type of right-skewed distribution. To remove most of the skewness, you can use a log transformation , which makes the distribution more symmetrical and easier to analyze, thus the use of these bands . These bands are in the 2 standard deviation range. You can use these bands to trade at extreme levels. The band parameter is based on the contraction volatility lookback, which is in the Volatility Model Settings tab.
Ways the bands could be used with the contractions:
1. Identifying Breakout trades:
Contraction Zones: These zones indicate periods of low volatility where the market is consolidating. There are usually narrow price ranges, which are considered a build-up phase before a significant price move in any direction.
Bands: When the contraction zone occurs, you might notice the bands tightening around the price on smaller lookback periods, reflecting the decreased volatility. A continuous widening of the bands could then signal the beginning of an expansion phase, indicating a potential breakout opportunity.
2. Enhancing Trade Timing:
Before the Breakout: During the contraction phase, the bands might move closer together, reflecting the lower volatility. You can monitor this phase closely and prepare for a potential expansion. The bands can provide additional confirmation; for instance, a price move toward one of the bands might show an extreme occurrence and might show what the direction of the breakout could be.
After the breakout: Once the price breaks out of the contraction zone and goes to the expansion phase, and if it coincides with the bands widening significantly, it could reinforce the strength and potential sustainability of the new trend, providing a clearer entry.
3. Price-touching bands during a contraction:
If the price repeatedly touches one of the bands during a contraction phase, it might suggest a buildup of pressure in that direction. For example, if the price is consistently touching the upper band even though the bands are narrow, it might suggest bullish pressure that could occur once the expansion phase begin.
4. Price at the band extreme levels during Expansion:
If the price is at the extreme levels of the bands once the expansion phase occurs, it might indicate unsustainable levels and a low probability of the price continuing beyond those levels. Potentially signaling that a reversal will occur. Some trades could use these extremes to place entries during the expansion phases.
Liquidity Levels:
This script comes with liquidity points, whose functionality goes towards identifying pivotal levels in price action, focusing on swing highs and swing lows in the market. These points represent areas where significant buying (for swing lows) or selling (for swing highs) activity has occurred, implying potential levels or resistance in the price movement.
These liquidity points, often identified as highs and lows, are points where market participants have shown interest in the past. These levels can act as psychological indications where traders might place orders, leading to increased trading activity when these levels are approached or breached. When used with the Forex Master Pattern phases, liquidity levels can enhance trades placed with this indicator. For instance, if the market is expanding and approaches a significant liquidity level, there might be a higher chance of a breakout or reversal, showing a possible entry or exit point.
Liquidity Levels in the Contraction Phase:
Accumulation and Distribution: During the contraction phase, liquidity levels can indicate where huge positions are likely accumulating or distributing quietly. If price is near a known liquidity level and in a contraction phase, it might suggest that a large market player is building a position in anticipation of the next move.
Breakout Points: Liquidity levels can also give clues about where price could go after the breakout from the contraction phase. A break above a liquidity level might indicate a strong move to come as the market overcomes significant selling pressure.
Liquidity Levels in Expansion Phase:
Direct Confirmation: As the expansion phase begins, breaking through liquidity levels can confirm the new trend's direction. If the price moves past these levels with huge volume, it might indicate that the market has enough momentum to continue the trend.
Target Areas: Liquidity levels can act as target areas during the expansion phase. Traders using this indicator could look to take profits if the price approaches these levels, possibly expecting a reaction from the market.

Fibonacci Timing Pattern IIThe Fibonacci Timing Pattern II is a price-based counter that seeks to determine medium-term reversals in price action. It is based on the following set of conditions:
* For a bullish Fibonacci timing signal II: The current close must be lower than the close prices from one and two periods ago. Simultaneously, the close price from two periods ago must be lower than the close price from three periods ago, and the close price from three periods ago must be lower than the close price from five periods ago. The Fibonacci sequence continues until the close price from thirty four periods ago which must be above the close price from fifty five periods ago.
* For a bearish Fibonacci timing signal II: The current close must be higher than the close prices from one and two periods ago. Simultaneously, the close price from two periods ago must be higher than the close price from three periods ago, and the close price from three periods ago must be higher than the close price from five periods ago. The Fibonacci sequence continues until the close price from thirty four periods ago which must be lower the close price from fifty five periods ago.
The signals of the pattern are ideally used in a sideways market or used in tandem with the trend (bullish signals are taken in a bullish market and bearish signals are taken in a bearish market).

Whether you are a seasoned trader or just beginning your journey, this guide aims to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how to harness the full potential of this strategy in your trading endeavors.
In the following sections, we will delve deeper into the mechanics of the strategy, its implementation, and how to make the most out of its features. Join me as we explore the nuances of a strategy that is designed to elevate your trading to the next level.
Stage-Specific Signal Generation
A distinctive feature of this trading strategy is its focus on generating long signals exclusively during Stage 2 uptrends and short signals during Stage 4 downtrends. This approach is based on the widely recognized market cycle theory, which divides the market into four stages: Stage 1 (accumulation), Stage 2 (uptrend), Stage 3 (distribution), and Stage 4 (downtrend). By aligning the signal generation with these specific stages, the strategy aims to capitalize on the most dynamic and clear-cut market movements, thereby enhancing the potential for profitable trades.
1. Long Signals in Stage 2 Uptrends
• Characteristics of Stage 2: Stage 2 is characterized by a strong uptrend, where prices are consistently rising. This stage typically follows a period of accumulation (Stage 1) and is marked by increased investor interest and bullish sentiment in the market.
• Criteria for Long Signal Generation: Long signals are generated during this stage when the technical indicators align with the characteristics of a Stage 2 uptrend.
• Rationale for Stage-Specific Signals: By focusing on Stage 2 for long trades, the strategy seeks to enter positions during the phase of strong upward momentum, thus riding the wave of rising prices and investor optimism. This stage-specific approach minimizes exposure to less predictable market phases, like the consolidation in Stage 1 or the indecision in Stage 3.
2. Short Signals in Stage 4 Downtrends
• Characteristics of Stage 4: Stage 4 is identified by a pronounced downtrend, with declining prices indicating prevailing bearish sentiment. This stage typically follows the distribution phase (Stage 3) and is characterized by increasing selling pressure.
• Criteria for Short Signal Generation: Short signals are generated in this stage when the indicators reflect a strong bearish trend.
• Rationale for Stage-Specific Signals: Targeting Stage 4 for shorting capitalizes on the market's downward momentum. This tactic aligns with the natural market cycle, allowing traders to exploit the downward price movements effectively. By doing so, the strategy avoids the potential pitfalls of shorting during the early or late stages of the market cycle, where trends are less defined and more susceptible to reversals.
In conclusion, the strategy’s emphasis on stage-specific signal generation is a testament to its sophisticated understanding of market dynamics. By tailoring the long and short signals to Stages 2 and 4, respectively, it leverages the most compelling phases of the market cycle, offering traders a clear and structured approach to aligning their trades with dominant market trends.
Strategy Overview
At the heart of this trading strategy is a philosophy centered around capturing market momentum and trend efficiency. The core objective is to identify and capitalize on clear uptrends and downtrends, thereby allowing traders to position themselves in sync with the market's prevailing direction. This approach is grounded in the belief that aligning trades with these dominant market forces can lead to more consistent and profitable outcomes.
The strategy is built on three foundational components, each playing a critical role in the decision-making process:
1. Momentum-RSI (Relative Strength Index): The Momentum-RSI is a pivotal element of this strategy. It's an enhanced version of the traditional RSI, fine-tuned to better capture the strength and velocity of market trends. By measuring the speed and change of price movements, the Momentum-RSI provides invaluable insights into whether a market is potentially overbought or oversold, suggesting possible entry and exit points. This indicator is especially effective in filtering out noise and focusing on substantial market moves.
2. EMA (Exponential Moving Average) Crossover: The EMA Crossover is a crucial component for trend identification. This strategy employs two EMAs with different timeframes to determine the market trend. When the shorter-term EMA crosses above the longer-term EMA, it signals an emerging uptrend, suggesting a potential long entry. Conversely, a crossover below indicates a possible downtrend, hinting at a short entry opportunity. This simple yet powerful tool is key in confirming trend directions and timing market entries.
3. ATR (Average True Range): The ATR is instrumental in assessing market volatility. This indicator helps in understanding the average range of price movements over a given period, thus providing a sense of how much a market might move on a typical day. In this strategy, the ATR is used to adjust stop-loss levels and to gauge the potential risk and reward of trades. It allows for more informed decisions by aligning trade management techniques with the current volatility conditions.
The synergy of these three components – the Momentum-RSI, EMA Crossover, and ATR – creates a robust framework for this trading strategy. By combining momentum analysis, trend identification, and volatility assessment, the strategy offers a comprehensive approach to navigating the markets. Whether it's capturing a strong trend in its early stages or identifying a potential reversal, this strategy aims to provide traders with the tools and insights needed to make well-informed, strategically sound trading decisions.
Detailed Component Analysis
The efficacy of this trading strategy hinges on the synergistic functioning of its three key components: the Momentum-RSI, EMA Crossover, and Average True Range (ATR). Each component brings a unique perspective to the strategy, contributing to a well-rounded approach to market analysis.
1. Momentum-RSI (Relative Strength Index)
• Definition and Function: The Momentum-RSI is a modified version of the classic Relative Strength Index. While the traditional RSI measures the velocity and magnitude of directional price movements, the Momentum-RSI amplifies aspects that reflect trend strength and momentum.
• Significance in Identifying Trend Strength: This indicator excels in identifying the strength behind a market's move. A high Momentum-RSI value typically indicates strong bullish momentum, suggesting the potential continuation of an uptrend. Conversely, a low Momentum-RSI value signals strong bearish momentum, possibly indicative of an ongoing downtrend.
• Application in Strategy: In this strategy, the Momentum-RSI is used to gauge the underlying strength of market trends. It helps in filtering out minor fluctuations and focusing on significant movements, providing a clearer picture of the market's true momentum.
2. EMA (Exponential Moving Average) Crossover
• Definition and Function: The EMA Crossover component utilizes two exponential moving averages of different timeframes. Unlike simple moving averages, EMAs give more weight to recent prices, making them more responsive to new information.
• Contribution to Market Direction: The interaction between the short-term and long-term EMAs is key to determining market direction. A crossover of the shorter EMA above the longer EMA is an indicator of an emerging uptrend, while a crossover below signals a developing downtrend.
• Application in Strategy: The EMA Crossover serves as a trend confirmation tool. It provides a clear, visual representation of the market's direction, aiding in the decision-making process for entering long or short positions. This component ensures that trades are aligned with the prevailing market trend, a crucial factor for the success of the strategy.
3. ATR (Average True Range)
• Definition and Function: The ATR is an indicator that measures market volatility by calculating the average range between the high and low prices over a specified period.
• Role in Assessing Market Volatility: The ATR provides insights into the typical market movement within a given timeframe, offering a measure of the market's volatility. Higher ATR values indicate increased volatility, while lower values suggest a calmer market environment.
• Application in Strategy: Within this strategy, the ATR is instrumental in tailoring risk management techniques, particularly in setting stop-loss levels. By accounting for the market's volatility, the ATR ensures that stop-loss orders are placed at levels that are neither too tight (risking premature exits) nor too loose (exposing to excessive risk).
In summary, the combination of Momentum-RSI, EMA Crossover, and ATR in this trading strategy provides a comprehensive toolkit for market analysis. The Momentum-RSI identifies the strength of market trends, the EMA Crossover confirms the market direction, and the ATR guides in risk management by assessing volatility. Together, these components form the backbone of a strategy designed to navigate the complexities of the financial markets effectively.
1. Signal Generation Process
• Combining Indicators: The strategy operates by synthesizing signals from the Momentum-RSI, EMA Crossover, and ATR indicators. Each indicator serves a specific purpose: the Momentum-RSI gauges trend momentum, the EMA Crossover identifies the trend direction, and the ATR assesses the market’s volatility.
• Criteria for Signal Validation: For a signal to be considered valid, it must meet specific criteria set by each of the three indicators. This multi-layered approach ensures that signals are not only based on one aspect of market behavior but are a result of a comprehensive analysis.
2. Conditions for Long Positions
• Uptrend Confirmation: A long position signal is generated when the shorter-term EMA crosses above the longer-term EMA, indicating an uptrend.
• Momentum-RSI Alignment: Alongside the EMA crossover, the Momentum-RSI should indicate strong bullish momentum. This is typically represented by the Momentum-RSI being at a high level, confirming the strength of the uptrend.
• ATR Consideration: The ATR is used to fine-tune the entry point and set an appropriate stop-loss level. In a low volatility scenario, as indicated by the ATR, the stop-loss can be set tighter, closer to the entry point.
3. Conditions for Short Positions
• Downtrend Confirmation: Conversely, a short position signal is indicated when the shorter-term EMA crosses below the longer-term EMA, signaling a downtrend.
• Momentum-RSI Confirmation: The Momentum-RSI should reflect strong bearish momentum, usually seen when the Momentum-RSI is at a low level. This confirms the bearish strength of the market.
• ATR Application: The ATR again plays a role in determining the stop-loss level for the short position. Higher volatility, as indicated by a higher ATR, would warrant a wider stop-loss to accommodate larger market swings.
By adhering to these mechanics, the strategy aims to ensure that each trade is entered with a high probability of success, aligning with the market’s current momentum and trend. The integration of these indicators allows for a holistic market analysis, providing traders with clear and actionable signals for both entering and exiting trades.
Customizable Parameters in the Strategy
Flexibility and adaptability are key features of this trading strategy, achieved through a range of customizable parameters. These parameters allow traders to tailor the strategy to their individual trading style, risk tolerance, and specific market conditions. By adjusting these parameters, users can fine-tune the strategy to optimize its performance and align it with their unique trading objectives. Below are the primary parameters that can be customized within the strategy:
1. Momentum-RSI Settings
• Period: The lookback period for the Momentum-RSI can be adjusted. A shorter period makes the indicator more sensitive to recent price changes, while a longer period smoothens the RSI line, offering a broader view of the momentum.
• Overbought/Oversold Thresholds: Users can set their own overbought and oversold levels, which can help in identifying extreme market conditions more precisely according to their trading approach.
2. EMA Crossover Settings
• Timeframes for EMAs: The strategy uses two EMAs with different timeframes. Traders can modify these timeframes, choosing shorter periods for a more responsive approach or longer periods for a more conservative one.
• Source Data: The choice of price data (close, open, high, low) used in calculating the EMAs can be varied depending on the trader’s preference.
3. ATR Settings
• Lookback Period: Adjusting the lookback period for the ATR impacts how the indicator measures volatility. A longer period may provide a more stable but less responsive measure, while a shorter period offers quicker but potentially more erratic readings.
• Multiplier for Stop-Loss Calculation: This parameter allows traders to set how aggressively or conservatively they want their stop-loss to be in relation to the ATR value.

Time Matrix TableICT stresses time and liquidity levels in his teachings. This table helps to easily locate these key Time-based price levels. You can use these levels to determine your directional bias and to help generate your narrative for where the market is going.
This indicator creates a table that gives you the price for the following liquidity levels:
PDO - Previous Day Open
PDH - Previous Day High
PDL - Previous Day Low
PDC - Previous Day Close
PDEQ - Equilibrium of the previous day's range. (Calculated by math.abs(((pdh-pdl)/2)+pdl))
PWH - Previous Week High
PWL - Previous Week Low
PDH2 - Two Days Back High
PDL2 - Two Days Back Low
PDH3 - Three Days Back High
PDL3 - Three Days Back Low
And gives you the opening price for the following times:
Daily Open - 6:00pm open for current session
1:30 AM
3:00 AM
4:00 AM
Midnight Open
6:00 AM
7:30 AM
8:30 AM
NY Open
10:00 AM
12:00 PM
NY PM - 1:30pm

The levels are sorted descending in price in the table, with the background colored based on their relation to price. The prices are also plotted on the chart based on the range you specify in relation to the current price. These lines are also colored based on their relation to price.
This indicator does not give you anything but the price at a specific time, you must determine your own bias and narrative based on the levels that are given.
NITS - NIFTY INTRADAY TRADING SYSTEMNSE:NIFTY
Hello Traders..!
This is another indicator / system to make use for NIFTY & BANK NIFTY Intra day trading.
This is my Gift to the traders for this New Year 2024. Use this to your Edge and make some profits. All explained below.
NIFTY INTRA-DAY TRADING SYSTEM
Explanation of Arrays:
-------------------------------
## FIRST 15 MIN SESSION BOX ##
From 09:15 to 09:30 where the initial orders will get collected and Auction takes place.
DO NOT engage into any trade in this session. Let the Box develop.
## INITIAL HIGH / LOW FORMATION SESSION ##
This session is from 09:15 to 10:30.
We can observe the Initial High or Low being formed for the day, that is VALID TILL 11:30.
## NO-TRADE ZONE / ACC. AREA / DAY’S H OR L CONFIRMATION SESSION ##
From 11:30 to 12:30
90% of time this is the session where the whole Day’s High or Low will get confirmed. Sometimes the market may violate this Session!
DO NOT engage into any fresh trade in this area.
Once the box is developed, you can see the Mid price line will be formed which is valid for the afternoon Trading session till 15:30.
## SIGNAL LINE, MIDDLE PRICE LINE, SESSION HIGH LOW LINES ##
Middle Price Line – the dotted line (Red colour) is Mid Price Line for the Initial session box. This acts as an important price level for the whole day.
Signal Line – the Solid line that will form after 10:30. Consider this price line as very important price line to which the price reacts with a good momentum, either break through or rejection and valid for the whole trading day.
Session High Low price line – high and low prices of the Initial session box which acts as a good Support / Resistance / Target / Stop loss. Even previous session’s price lines can also be used for the current day too.
## TREND BOX ##
Multi-Time frame trend box will show the real-time trend on different time frames. This box will be very helpful in trade decision. Please note that at least THREE HIGHER TIME FRAME TRENDS must be in the same direction to support your trade criteria for the better confirmation.
## VOLUME IMBALANCE ##
These orange coloured boxes are very tiny imbalances between prices that were formed during price movements. Algorithm will try to fill these imbalances on its way of filling orders. These price imbalances can be used for our edge while taking trades.
SOME TIPS:
---------------------------
1) Avoid Break out trades
2) Always trade the pull backs
3) Keep your Stops above / below the KEY LEVELS
4) Always follow the Higher Time frame trend while taking a trade.
If you trade in 1m TF consider 5m trend
If you trade in 5m TF consider 1H or 15m trend
5) Consider the higher TF closure of prices only, to validate the break out.
6) Trade what you see, market can do anything it wants.
7) Do not worry about losses. It happens and that is the business.
8) End your trading week in green no matter how big or small the profit is. Consistency is the key this business.
9) Keep in mind that the Market does two things only, either it will FILL THE GAP or GRAB THE LIQUIDITY. Just plan your trades accordingly. Liquidity levels like Previous Session / Day / Week / highs and lows.
10) The Market is a continuous business. It does not end for the specific day. It will not end its Buy or Sell model unless it completes its cycle, hence TRADE WHAT YOU SEE and not WHAT YOU THINK!
11) Unless the key swing high / low is broken and closed, DO NOT consider that move as a reversal. Consider that as a Liquidity grab. And it will continue in its previous trend.
HOW TO TAKE TRADE USING NITS: (one of the Techniques)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As explained above, Do not engage in trade for the first 15 minutes.
Once the 15m box forms then look for divergence between NIFTY and BANK NIFTY.
Both Indices are supposed to trade in the same direction but at key levels and times, these instruments will make DIVERGENCE with its Highs and Lows.
Ex: one Index will make LOW AND LOWER LOW and at the same time other will make LOW AND HIGHER LOW. This deflection can be used for taking Buy Trades.
Ex:
If the Divergence forms at the Bottom then the market will move upwards.
If the Divergence forms at the Top then the market makes down move.
To confirm this divergence, the price will move away from that deflected Lows or Highs.
-----------------------------------
POINTS TO OBSERVE
------------------------------------
Mostly the first 15 min range that forms will either be very large candles or normal candles with rejection wicks or Shaved bar (open and H/L same)
Whenever you observe a very large wide range bars within the 15min range, consider the Day’s high and Low is already formed. And the market will be hovering inside that range only. Very useful for taking 50 points scalping here and there by using the signal line and middle line or Acc box mid line. In this scenario you have three important info of the day, OPEN HIGH & LOW established already, The market will only look for its close.
Ex:
If the market trades with normal candles, then consider your trades in two parts.
From 09:30 to 11:30 and from 12:30 to 15:30 as 11:30 to 12:30 will confirm the current day’s High / Low hence do not take a fresh position within that time.
1) Initial session trade – If the price does not break and close the 15 min range high/low, consider it is going to reverse and continue its trend till 10:30
Ex:
2) Mid session Trade – mostly the market accumulates positions and collects orders between 11:30 to 12:30 for the afternoon session. Once the session box is developed, the middle price line will form. Wait for the market breakout and close off this session’s high or low in Higher TF. The market will continue in the direction of breakout from this session and continue till 15:30. Hence wait for pull back till its mid price / high or low price lines of this Acc box and take trade in the initial breakout direction keeping stop above or below the session’s high or low.
Ex:

Note:
-----------------
Kindly do not ask for any codes or script details. The one technique what I explained (Divergence method) is more than enough for making a consistent earnings. Please study and back test / forward test for yourself for atleast 2 weeks time. Every traders aspect and mindset is different in seeing the market movements. Please design your own methodology and CONSIDER this as a BUSINESS..!

ZenTrend Price CyclesZenTrend attempts to plot the cycles that occur as the price cycles between the top and bottom of long- and short-term price linear regression channels.
The indicator observes a fast (35-period) and a slow (100-period) linear regression channel and plots their slopes on an oscillator. When the slope of the fast channel crosses above or below the slope of the slow channel, a signal is plotted.
The red line is the slope of the fast channel; blue is the slope of the slow channel
A green dot and background indicates the slope of recent price action has crossed above the slope of long-term price action.
A red dot and background indicates the slope of recent price action has crossed below the slope of long-term price action.
A gray dot indicates the slope of recent price action is slowing. The difference between the long- and short-term slopes is narrowing.
Here are things I look for when observing price cycles
Where does the cross occur? Crosses high above or below the 'zero line' indicate a more extreme change in price channel slopes.
Flat line: crosses that occur while the lines are flat often indicate chop.
"Curve" of the line - a cross that occurs as the slope lines are starting to curve up/down indicates a sharper and more extreme change in price channel slope.
Smallest Swing [Truth Indie]This indicator is designed to test the smallest swing draw using the swing capture concept of the Pivot Points High Low indicator, setting the length to 1 for all periods, and combining it with price action that I think makes sense.
Example of a valid swing high.
Example of a valid swing low.

using this Swing High/Low Indicator
Trading Strategy comes from Mastering the Trade, by John Carter pg 300.
Trading Rules for Sells, Buys are reversed
1. Identifying a trending market, where today's price is making a 20-day high (17-18 day highs are also fine)
Note this is configurable by setting the trending period variable (defaults to 20)
For example if price is making a 20 period high or 20 period low, it will show a triangle up/down above the candle.
2. Identify the high bar in the uptrend
3. Go short once the price action closes below the low of this high bar
4. The initial stop is the high of the high bar.
5. If you are in the trade on the third day or period, use a 2 bar trailing stop.
You can check 2-bar trailing stop to draw the line, defaults to off.
Stop is indicated by the white dot.
