Wyckoff Accumulation Distribution Wyckoff Accumulation & Distribution Indicator (RSI-Based) This Pine Script is a technical analysis indicator built around the Wyckoff Method, designed to detect accumulation and distribution phases using RSI (Relative Strength Index) and pivot points. It automatically marks key structural turning points on the chart and highlights relevant zones with colored boxes. What Does It Do? Draws accumulation and distribution boxes based on RSI behavior. Automatically detects Wyckoff structural signals: SC (Selling Climax) AR (Automatic Rally) ST (Secondary Test) BC (Buying Climax) DAR (Automatic Reaction) DST (Secondary Test - Distribution) Identifies trend transitions by detecting sideways RSI movement. Attempts to detect spring and UTAD-like deviations based on RSI reversals. Uses RSI extremes in conjunction with pivot points to generate Wyckoff signals. How Does It Work? RSI Zone: It identifies sideways markets when RSI stays within ±20 of the 50 level (this range is configurable). Pivot Points: It detects pivot highs/lows that sync with RSI values (pivotLen is adjustable). Trend Box Drawing: When RSI exits the sideways zone, the script draws a gray box between the highest high and lowest low within that range. If RSI breaks upward, the box becomes green (Accumulation); if downward, it becomes red (Distribution). Wyckoff Structural Points: SC/BC: Detected when a pivot occurs with RSI below/above a threshold. AR/DAR: The next opposite pivot after SC or BC. ST/DST: The next same-direction pivot after AR or DAR. How to Use It Works best on 4H or daily charts for more reliable signals. Shorter timeframes may generate noise. Primarily used for interpreting RSI structures through the lens of Wyckoff methodology. Box colors help quickly identify market phase: Green box: Likely Accumulation Red box: Likely Distribution Triangular markers show key signals: SC, AR, ST: Accumulation points BC, DAR, DST: Distribution points Use these signals alongside price action to manually interpret Wyckoff phases. image.binance.vision image.binance.vision What Is the Wyckoff Method? The Wyckoff Method, developed in the 1930s by Richard Wyckoff, is a market analysis approach that focuses on supply and demand dynamics behind price movements. Wyckoff’s 5 Phases: Accumulation: Smart money gradually buying at low prices. Markup: Price begins trending upwards. Distribution: Smart money selling to retail traders. Markdown: Downtrend begins as supply outweighs demand. Re-accumulation / Re-distribution: Trend-continuation phases with consolidations. This indicator is specifically designed to detect phase 1 (Accumulation) and phase 3 (Distribution). Extra Notes Repainting is minimal, as pivots are confirmed using historical candles. Labels use plotshape for a clean, minimalist visual style. Other Wyckoff events (like SOS, LPS, UT, UTAD) could be added in future updates. This script does not generate buy/sell signals; it is meant for structural interpretation.

Anchored Darvas Box## ANCHORED DARVAS BOX --- ### OVERVIEW **Anchored Darvas Box** lets you drop a single timestamp on your chart and build a Darvas-style consolidation zone forward from that exact candle. The indicator freezes the first user-defined number of bars to establish the range, verifies that price respects that range for another user-defined number of bars, then waits for the first decisive breakout. The resulting rectangle captures every tick of the accumulation phase and the exact moment of expansion—no manual drawing, complete timestamp precision. --- ### HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Nicolas Darvas’s 1950s box theory tracked institutional accumulation by hand-drawing rectangles around tight price ranges. A trade was triggered only when price escaped the rectangle. The anchored version preserves Darvas’s logic but pins the entire sequence to a user-chosen candle: perfect for analysing a market open, an earnings release, FOMC minute, or any other catalytic bar. --- ### ALGORITHM DETAIL 1. **ANCHOR BAR** *You provide a timestamp via the settings panel.* The script waits until the chart reaches that bar and records its index as **startBar**. 2. **RANGE DEFINITION — BARS 1-7** • `rangeHigh` = highest high of bars 1-7 plus optional tolerance. • `rangeLow` = lowest low of bars 1-7 minus optional tolerance. 3. **RANGE VALIDATION — BARS 8-14** • Price must stay inside ` `. • Any violation aborts the test; no box is created. 4. **ARMED STATE** • If bars 8-14 hold the range, two live guide-lines appear: – **Green** at `rangeHigh` – **Red** at `rangeLow` • The script is now “armed,” waiting indefinitely for the first true breakout. 5. **BREAKOUT & BOX CREATION** • **Up breakout** =`high > rangeHigh` → rectangle drawn in **green**. • **Down breakout**=`low < rangeLow` → rectangle drawn in **red**. • Box extends from **startBar** to the breakout bar and never updates again. • Optional labels print the dollar and percentage height of the box at its left edge. 6. **OPTIONAL COOLDOWN** • After the box is painted the script can stay silent for a user-defined number of bars, letting you study the fallout without another range immediately arming on top of it. --- ### INPUT PARAMETERS • **ANCHOR TIME** – Precise yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS that seeds the sequence. • **BARS TO DEFINE RANGE** – Default 7; affects both definition and validation windows. • **OPTIONAL TOLERANCE** – Absolute price buffer to ignore micro-wicks. • **COOLDOWN BARS AFTER BREAKOUT** – Pause length before the indicator is allowed to re-anchor (set to zero to disable). • **SHOW BOX DISTANCE LABELS** – Toggle to print Δ\$ and Δ% on every completed box. --- ### USER WORKFLOW 1. Add the indicator, open settings, and set **ANCHOR TIME** to the candle you care about (e.g., “2025-04-23 09:30:00” for NYSE open). 2. Watch live as the script: – Paints the seven-bar range. – Draws validation lines. – Locks in the box on breakout. 3. Use the box boundaries as structural stops, targets, or context for further trades. --- ### PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS • **OPENING RANGE BREAKOUTS** – Anchor at the first second of the session; capture the initial 7-bar range and trade the first clean break. • **EVENT STUDIES** – Anchor at a news candle to measure immediate post-event volatility. • **VOLUME PROFILE FUSION** – Combine the anchored box with VPVR to see if the breakout occurs at a high-volume node or a low-liquidity pocket. • **RISK DISCIPLINE** – Stop-loss can sit just inside the opposite edge of the anchored range, enforcing objective risk. --- ### ADVANCED CUSTOMISATION IDEAS • **MULTIPLE ANCHORS** – Clone the indicator and anchor several boxes (e.g., London open, New York open). • **DYNAMIC WINDOW** – Switch the 7-bar fixed length to a volatility-scaled length (ATR percentile). • **STRATEGY WRAPPER** – Turn the indicator into a `strategy{}` script and back-test anchored boxes on decades of data. --- ### FINAL THOUGHTS Anchored Darvas Boxes give you Darvas’s timeless range-break methodology anchored to any candle of interest—perfect for dissecting openings, economic releases, or your own bespoke “important” bars with laboratory precision.

Auto Darvas Boxes## AUTO DARVAS BOXES --- ### OVERVIEW **Auto Darvas Boxes** is a fully-automated, event-driven implementation of Nicolas Darvas’s 1950s box methodology. The script tracks consolidation zones in real time, verifies that price truly “respects” those zones for a fixed validation window, then waits for the first decisive range violation to mark a directional breakout. Every box is plotted end-to-end—from the first candle of the sideways range to the exact candle that ruptures it—giving you an on-chart, visually precise record of accumulation or distribution and the expansion that follows. --- ### HISTORICAL BACKGROUND * Nicolas Darvas was a professional ballroom dancer who traded U.S. equities by telegram while touring the world. * Without live news or Level II, he relied exclusively on **price** to infer institutional intent. * His core insight: true market-moving entities leave footprints in the form of tight ranges; once their buying (or selling) is complete, price erupts out of the “box.” * Darvas’s original procedure was manual—he kept notebooks, drew rectangles around highs and lows, and entered only when price punched out of the roof of a valid box. * This indicator distills that logic into a rolling, self-resetting state machine so you never miss a box or breakout on any timeframe. --- ### ALGORITHM DETAIL (FOUR-STATE MACHINE) **STATE 0 – RANGE DEFINITION**  • Examine the last *N* candles (default 7).  • Record `rangeHigh = highest(high, N) + tolerance`.  • Record `rangeLow = lowest(low, N) – tolerance`.  • Remember the index of the earliest bar in this window (`startBar`).  • Immediately transition to STATE 1. **STATE 1 – RANGE VALIDATION**  • Observe the next *N* candles (again default 7).  • If **any** candle prints `high > rangeHigh` or `low < rangeLow`, the validation fails and the engine resets to STATE 0 **beginning at the violating candle**—no halfway boxes, no overlap.  • If all *N* candles remain inside the range, the box becomes **armed** and we transition to STATE 2. **STATE 2 – ARMED (LIVE VISUAL FEEDBACK)**  • Draw a **green horizontal line** at `rangeHigh`.  • Draw a **red horizontal line** at `rangeLow`.  • Lines are extended in real time so the user can see the “live” Darvas ceiling and floor.  • Engine waits indefinitely for a breakout candle:   – **Up-Breakout** if `high > rangeHigh`.   – **Down-Breakout** if `low < rangeLow`. **STATE 3 – BREAKOUT & COOLDOWN**  • Upon breakout the script:   1. Deletes the live range lines.   2. Draws a **filled rectangle (box)** from `startBar` to the breakout bar.     ◦ **Green fill** when price exits above the ceiling.     ◦ **Red fill** when price exits below the floor.   3. Optionally prints two labels at the left edge of the box:     ◦ Dollar distance = `rangeHigh − rangeLow`.     ◦ Percentage distance = `(rangeHigh − rangeLow) / rangeLow × 100 %`.  • After painting, the script waits a **user-defined cooldown** (default = 7 bars) before reverting to STATE 0. The cooldown guarantees separation between consecutive tests and prevents overlapping rectangles. --- ### INPUT PARAMETERS (ALL ADJUSTABLE FROM THE SETTINGS PANEL) * **BARS TO DEFINE RANGE** – Number of candles used for both the definition and validation windows. Classic Darvas logic uses 7 but feel free to raise it on higher timeframes or volatile instruments. * **OPTIONAL TOLERANCE** – Absolute price buffer added above the ceiling and below the floor. Use a small tolerance to ignore single-tick spikes or data-feed noise. * **COOLDOWN BARS AFTER BREAKOUT** – How long the engine pauses before hunting for the next consolidation. Setting this equal to the range length produces non-overlapping, evenly spaced boxes. * **SHOW BOX DISTANCE LABELS** – Toggle on/off. When on, each completed box displays its vertical size in both dollars and percentage, anchored at the box’s left edge. --- ### REAL-TIME VISUALISATION * During the **armed** phase you see two extended, colour-coded guide-lines showing the exact high/low that must hold. * When the breakout finally occurs, those lines vanish and the rectangle instantly appears, coloured to match the breakout direction. * This immediate visual feedback turns any chart into a live Darvas tape—no manual drawing, no lag. --- ### PRACTICAL USE-CASES & BEST-PRACTICE WORKFLOWS * **INTRADAY MOMENTUM** – Drop the script on 1- to 15-minute charts to catch tight coils before they explode. The coloured box marks the precise origin of the expansion; stops can sit just inside the opposite side of the box. * **SWING & POSITION TRADING** – On 4-hour or daily charts, boxes often correspond to accumulation bases or volatility squeezes. Waiting for the box-validated breakout filters many false signals. * **MEAN-REVERSION OR “FADE” STRATEGIES** – If a breakout immediately fails and price re-enters the box, you may have trapped momentum traders; fading that failure can be lucrative. * **RISK MANAGEMENT** – Box extremes provide objective, structure-based stop levels rather than arbitrary ATR multiples. * **BACK-TEST RESEARCH** – Because each box is plotted from first range candle to breakout candle, you can programmatically measure hold time, range height, and post-breakout expectancy for any asset. --- ### CUSTOMISATION IDEAS FOR POWER USERS * **VOLATILITY-ADAPTIVE WINDOW** – Replace the fixed 7-bar length with a dynamic value tied to ATR percentile so the consolidation window stretches or compresses with volatility. * **MULTI-TIMEFRAME LOGIC** – Only arm a 5-minute box if the 1-hour trend is aligned. * **STRATEGY WRAPPER** – Convert the indicator to a full `strategy{}` script, automate entries on breakouts, and benchmark performance across assets. * **ALERTS** – Create TradingView alerts on both up-breakout and down-breakout conditions; route them to webhook for broker automation. --- ### FINAL THOUGHTS **Auto Darvas Boxes** packages one of the market’s oldest yet still potent price-action frameworks into a modern, self-resetting indicator. Whether you trade equities, futures, crypto, or forex, the script highlights genuine contraction-expansion sequences—Darvas’s original “boxes”—with zero manual effort, letting you focus solely on execution and risk.

The LBF modelThe LBF Model is a structural pattern detector that highlights potential reversal zones using a specific sequence of pivot points. It identifies both bearish (LL → LH → LL → HH → LH) and bullish (HH → HL → HH → LL → HL) formations, marking moments where price shows signs of exhaustion and directional shift. Built purely on price action, the LBF Model avoids indicators and focuses on clean structure. It draws patterns directly on the chart, with customizable sensitivity and colors. Whether used on its own or with other tools, it helps traders spot key turning points with clarity and precision.

EMA Ribbon Cross Multi-TF MonitorThis is not your typical moving average, this give you a great buy and sell alert alongside showing you what price is doing at the 1m and 2m charts with a monitor that updates with price. The EMA is configurable though I recommend the 2 and 8 ema's as the best ones to catch price moving higher or lower to get an early entry. You can configure the script to add in different times and it will work on those time frames also, like 15min and 30min so you can see the longer trend of the market.

Multi Scanner Plot & Table V1Here's how to interpret each column in the table: Price vs MAs: What it shows: Where the current price is relative to the short-term (e.g., 20-period) and long-term (e.g., 50-period) Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) calculated on your current chart's timeframe. Interpretation: Above Both (Green background): Price is above both the short and long MAs. Generally considered a bullish sign for the current trend. Below Both (Red background): Price is below both MAs. Generally considered a bearish sign. Mixed (Gray background): Price is between the two MAs (e.g., above the short but below the long, or vice-versa). Indicates indecision or a potential trend change. RSI Value: What it shows: The actual numerical value of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) calculated on your current chart's timeframe. Interpretation: Just the raw RSI number (e.g., 65.32). The background is always gray. You compare this value to standard overbought/oversold levels (like 70/30) or the levels defined in the script's inputs. RSI Status: What it shows: Interprets the RSI Value based on the Overbought/Oversold levels set in the script's inputs (default 70/30). Calculated on your current chart's timeframe. Interpretation: Overbought (Red background): RSI is above the overbought level (e.g., > 70). Suggests the asset might be due for a pullback or reversal downwards. Red indicates a potentially bearish condition. Oversold (Green background): RSI is below the oversold level (e.g., < 30). Suggests the asset might be due for a bounce or reversal upwards. Green indicates a potentially bullish condition. Neutral (Gray background): RSI is between the oversold and overbought levels. Last Sig Price: What it shows: The price level where the last "SIG NOW" Buy or Sell signal occurred on your current chart's timeframe. Interpretation: Helps you see the entry price of the most recent short-term signal generated by this script. The background color matches the signal type: Green for the last Buy signal, Red for the last Sell signal. N/A if no signal has occurred yet. SIG NOW: What it shows: This is the main short-term signal generated by the script based on conditions on your current chart's timeframe. It combines the "Price vs MAs" status and specific RSI conditions (price must be above/below both MAs and RSI must be within a certain range defined in the inputs). Interpretation: BUY (Green background): The specific buy conditions are met right now. (Price above both MAs AND RSI is strong but not necessarily overbought). SELL (Red background): The specific sell conditions are met right now. (Price below both MAs AND RSI is weak but not necessarily oversold). NEUTRAL (Gray background): Neither the Buy nor the Sell conditions are currently met. ALERT: What it shows: Flags unusual volume activity on the current bar compared to the recent average volume (calculated on your current chart's timeframe). Interpretation: SPIKE (Yellow background, black text): Current volume is significantly higher than the recent average (defined by the Volume Spike Multiplier). Can indicate strong interest or a potential climax. DUMP (Purple background): Current volume is significantly lower than the recent average (defined by the Volume Dump Multiplier). Can indicate fading interest. NONE (Gray background): Volume is within the normal range for the lookback period. SD$: What it shows: The price level where the last Volume Spike or Dump occurred on your current chart's timeframe. Interpretation: Shows the price associated with the most recent significant volume event. The background color indicates the type of the last event: Green if the last event was a Spike, Red if the last event was a Dump. N/A if no Spike/Dump has occurred yet. BB Value (%B): What it shows: This relates to Bollinger Bands, but specifically calculated on a Higher Timeframe (HTF) that you can set in the inputs (e.g., Daily BBs while viewing an Hourly chart). It shows the Bollinger Band Percent B (%B) value for that HTF. %B measures where the HTF closing price is relative to the HTF upper and lower bands. Interpretation: Value > 1: HTF price closed above the HTF upper Bollinger Band. Value < 0: HTF price closed below the HTF lower Bollinger Band. Value between 0 and 1: HTF price closed within the HTF Bollinger Bands (e.g., 0.5 is exactly on the middle band). The background is always gray. LTS (Long Term Signal): What it shows: A signal derived only from the Higher Timeframe (HTF) Bollinger Bands. Interpretation: BUY (Green background): The HTF price closed above the HTF upper Bollinger Band (see BB Value > 1). Considered a strong bullish signal from the higher timeframe perspective. SELL (Red background): The HTF price closed below the HTF lower Bollinger Band (see BB Value < 0). Considered a strong bearish signal from the higher timeframe perspective. NEUTRAL (Gray background): The HTF price closed within the HTF Bollinger Bands. How to Understand Bollinger Bands and Signals in this Context: Bollinger Bands are primarily used for the Long Term Signal (LTS) column. This script calculates BBs on a higher timeframe (you choose which one, or it defaults to the chart's timeframe if left blank). The "LTS" signal triggers: A BUY when the price on that higher timeframe closes above its upper Bollinger Band. This often indicates strong momentum or a potential breakout. A SELL when the price on that higher timeframe closes below its lower Bollinger Band. This often indicates strong negative momentum or a potential breakdown. The "BB Value" column gives you the raw %B number from that same higher timeframe, showing you exactly where the price is relative to the bands (is it just barely above/below, or way outside?). The script does not directly use Bollinger Bands from the current chart timeframe for the "SIG NOW" or other table signals. The main short-term signals ("SIG NOW") rely on Moving Averages and RSI on the current timeframe. The LTS provides a longer-term perspective using HTF Bollinger Bands. In summary: Look at the table to quickly gauge: Short-term trend (Price vs MAs). Short-term momentum (RSI Status, SIG NOW). Recent short-term entry points (Last Sig Price). Current volume anomalies (ALERT). Long-term strength/weakness based on HTF Bollinger Bands (LTS, BB Value). Combine these pieces of information to get a more rounded view of the current market conditions according to this specific script's logic.

Fractal CorridorsFractal Corridors - visual tool that maps market structure through a multi-scale lens, revealing the underlying architecture of price action across time. By processing pivot points at multiple depths, it constructs a layered geometric corridors that reflects the self-similar, scalable nature of financial markets. Each pivot scale connects successive highs and lows with lines, and when both sides are present, fills the space between them, forming polygonal bands that shift in shape and density as volatility and trend evolve. Inputs Base Depth: Number of bars for the smallest pivot Factor: Multiplier between small, medium and large depths Selectable color of components The real value of this indicator lies not in generating executive signals, but in offering a structural perspective that blends short-term fluctuations with longer-term market cycles. The output allows to visually assess trends in terms of shapes, detect compression zones, and identify multi-timeframe confluence areas where price is likely to react. Whether used for macro trend confirmation or pattern evaluation, this indicator transforms raw price data into a clear, fractal-informed map of market behavior, helping the user navigate the complexity of emerging price through the language of geometry.
