Retracement Bar🔍 Retracement Bar – RB The Retracement Bar (RB) indicator is designed to highlight potential reversal zones by identifying candles where price shows a clear rejection from the extremes. It helps traders spot moments where institutional inventory rebalancing may be occurring — often a precursor to a strong move in the opposite direction. RB highlights bars that: Have a relatively small real body compared to the total candle range. Show a long wick (upper or lower) that exceeds a user-defined percentage of the candle range. Suggest a potential rejection of price — upward or downward — based on candle structure. When these conditions are met, a triangle symbol is plotted: 🔻 Red triangle above a candle suggests a possible short opportunity. 🔺 Green triangle below a candle suggests a possible long opportunity. This indicator does not repaint and triggers only at candle close. 📈 Example – Long Entry Signal: A green triangle appears below a candle (suggesting rejection of lower prices). Steps: Wait for the current RB candle to close. On the next candle: Enter long if price breaks above the high of the RB candle. Alternatively, wait for a pullback and enter based on confirmation (e.g., bullish engulfing, hammer, trendline bounce). Place a stop-loss just below the low of the RB candle. Set a target: Based on a 2:1 risk-reward ratio. Or use the next resistance/Fibonacci level. 📉 Example – Short Entry Signal: A red triangle appears above a candle (suggesting rejection of higher prices). Steps: Wait for the current RB candle to close. On the next candle: Enter short if price breaks below the low of the RB candle. Or wait for confirmation (e.g., bearish engulfing, shooting star, breakdown from a level). Place a stop-loss just above the high of the RB candle. Set a target: 2:1 risk-reward ratio. Or the next support/Fibonacci zone. ✅ Recommended Filters for Better Results: Confluence with support/resistance zones. Trend alignment or reversal context. Additional confirmation from price action patterns or oscillators. Volume analysis for entry strength. 🙏 Acknowledgment Special thanks to Rob Hoffman for inspiring this concept through his original Inventory Retracement Bar (IRB) idea — this indicator is a reinterpretation meant to visually and practically support discretionary price action traders.

DIP BUYING by HAZEREAL BUY THE DIP - Educational Price Movement Indicator This technical indicator is designed for educational purposes to help traders identify potential price reversal opportunities in equity markets, particularly focusing on NASDAQ-100 index tracking instruments and technology sector ETFs. Key Features: Monitors price movements relative to recent highs over customizable lookback periods Identifies two distinct price decline thresholds: standard (5%+) and extreme (12.3%+) Visual signals with triangular markers and background color zones Real-time data table showing current metrics and status Customizable alert system with webhook-ready JSON formatting Clean overlay design that doesn't obstruct price action How It Works: The indicator tracks the highest price within a specified lookback period and calculates the percentage decline from that high. When price drops below the minimum threshold, it generates visual buy signals. The extreme threshold triggers enhanced alerts for more significant market movements. Best Use Cases: Educational analysis of market volatility patterns Identifying potential support levels during market corrections Studying historical price behavior around significant declines Risk management and position sizing education Important Note: This is a technical analysis tool for educational purposes only. All trading decisions should be based on comprehensive analysis and appropriate risk management. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Candlesticks MTF + Prev Daily RangeCandlesticks MTF + Previous Daily Range This TradingView script displays higher timeframe candlesticks on a lower timeframe chart and optionally projects the previous day's high, low, and close levels. The user can define the timeframe from which the candles are taken, typically a higher timeframe like daily. A specified number of historical candles are drawn on the chart using boxes for candle bodies and lines for wicks. The color of each candle indicates its direction: bullish candles use a "long" color (default teal), and bearish candles use a "short" color (default red). An optional feature allows the projection of the previous daily range. When enabled, the script draws horizontal lines extending across the chart to mark the high, low, and close of the second most recent higher timeframe candle. These lines are color-coded for easy visual identification and can help identify potential support and resistance zones. All visual elements, including the number of candles, their width, and the colors of candles and projection lines, can be customized through the settings. The script dynamically updates in real time, clearing outdated boxes and lines to avoid visual clutter. This makes it a useful tool for traders who want to incorporate multi-timeframe analysis and key price levels directly into their intraday charting.

The Essa System V1.5The Essa System V1.5 Overview The Essa System is a comprehensive trading strategy and backtesting tool designed for traders who use market structure and Fibonacci retracements. It automatically identifies significant trading ranges, calculates key retracement levels, and then backtests a complete trading strategy based on entries at these levels. This is more than just an indicator; it's a full suite of analytical tools designed to help you develop, test, and analyze a complete trading plan directly on your chart. How It Works The system's logic is based on a classic price action concept: Range Detection: First, it automatically identifies a significant trading range by finding the highest high and lowest low based on pivot points over a user-defined lookback period. Fibonacci Analysis: Once the range direction (bullish or bearish) is established, the script calculates and displays key Fibonacci retracement levels (50%, 61.8%, 70.5%, and 78.6%). Trade Execution: The system then looks for historical and live trading opportunities, entering a trade when the price pulls back to one of the enabled Fibonacci levels. All trades are managed with a predefined Stop Loss and Take Profit in pips. Key Features Automatic Range & Fibonacci Analysis: Automatically draws the primary trading range and key Fib levels, updating as market structure evolves. Historical Backtesting: Plots all historical trade entries based on the strategy rules, allowing for a complete performance review over the chosen chart history. Detailed Trade Visuals: Displays active trades on the chart with clear lines and boxes for entry, stop loss, and take profit zones. Advanced Session Filtering: Allows you to isolate trades to specific market sessions (London, New York, Asia) with timezone support and daily trade limits. Built-in Risk Management: A cornerstone of the system. It automatically calculates the required position size for each trade based on your specified Account Size, Risk Percentage, and Stop Loss. Comprehensive Performance Tables: The script includes two powerful analytical tables: Trade Helper Table: Shows the status of live or potential upcoming trades, including entry/SL/TP prices and the calculated position size. History Table: Logs all recent trades and calculates key statistics like Profit Factor, Win Rate, and the overall PnL impact on your account balance. Customizable Strategy: Fine-tune every aspect of the strategy with inputs for the lookback period, SL/TP in pips, which Fib levels are tradable, and a cooldown timer to prevent over-trading. How to Use Add the indicator to your chart. Navigate to the settings and, under "Account Settings," configure your Account Size and Risk Per Trade (%). This is essential for the PnL and position sizing calculations to be meaningful. Under "Session Filter Settings," adjust the sessions you wish to trade. Analyze the historical trades and the performance tables to understand the strategy's behaviour on your chosen asset and timeframe. Disclaimer: This is a tool for strategy analysis and backtesting. It is not financial advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use proper risk management.

Logistic Regression ICT FVG🚀 OVERVIEW Welcome to the Logistic Regression Fair Value Gap (FVG) System — a next-gen trading tool that blends precision gap detection with machine learning intelligence. Unlike traditional FVG indicators, this one evolves with each bar of price action, scoring and filtering gaps based on real market behavior. 🔧 CORE FEATURES ✨ Smart Gap Detection Automatically identifies bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps using volatility-aware candle logic. 📊 Probability-Based Filtering Uses logistic regression to assign each gap a confidence score (0 to 1), showing only high-probability setups. 🔁 Real-Time Retest Tracking Continuously watches how price interacts with each gap to determine if it deserves respect. 📈 Multi-Factor Assessment Evaluates RSI, MACD, and body size at gap formation to build a full context snapshot. 🧠 Self-Learning Engine The logistic regression model updates on each bar using gradient descent, refining its predictions over time. 📢 Built-In Alerts Get instant alerts when a gap forms, gets retested, or breaks. 🎨 Custom Display Options Control the color of bullish/bearish zones, and toggle on/off probability labels for cleaner charts. 🚩 WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT This isn’t just another box-drawing indicator. While others mark every imbalance, this system thinks before it draws — using statistical modeling to filter out noise and prioritize high-impact zones. By learning from how price behaves around gaps (not just how they form), it helps you trade only what matters — not what clutters. ⚙️ HOW IT WORKS 1️⃣ Detection FVGs are identified using ATR-based thresholds and sharp wick imbalances. 2️⃣ Behavior Monitoring Every gap is tracked — and if respected enough times, it becomes part of the elite training set. 3️⃣ Context Capture Each new FVG logs RSI, MACD, and body size to provide a feature-rich context for prediction. 4️⃣ Prediction (Logistic Regression) The model predicts how likely the gap is to be respected and assigns it a probability score. 5️⃣ Classification & Alerts Gaps above the threshold are plotted with score labels, and alerts trigger for entry/respect/break. ⚙️ CONFIGURATION PANEL 🔧 System Inputs • Max Retests – How many times a gap must be respected to train the model • Prediction Threshold – Minimum score to show a gap on the chart • Learning Rate – Controls how fast the model adapts (default: 0.009) • Max FVG Lifetime – Expiration duration for unused gaps • Show Historic Gaps – Show/hide expired or invalidated gaps 🎨 Visual Options • Bullish/Bearish Colors – Set gap colors to fit your chart style • Confidence Labels – Show probability scores next to FVGs • Alert Toggles – Enable alerts for:   – New FVG detected   – FVG respected (entry)   – FVG invalidated (break) 💡 WHY LOGISTIC REGRESSION? Traditional FVG tools rely on candle shapes. This system relies on probability — by training on RSI, MACD, and price behavior, it predicts whether a gap will act as a true liquidity zone. Logistic regression lets the system continuously adapt using new data, making it more accurate the longer it runs. That means smarter signals, fewer false positives, and a clearer view of where real opportunities lie.

Fast Fourier Transform [ScorsoneEnterprises]The SCE Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is a tool designed to analyze periodicities and cyclical structures embedded in price. This is a Fourier analysis to transform price data from the time domain into the frequency domain, showing the rhythmic behaviors that are otherwise invisible on standard charts. Instead of merely observing raw prices, this implementation applies the FFT on the logarithmic returns of the asset: Log Return(𝑚) = log⁡(close / close ) This ensures stationarity and stabilizes variance, making the analysis statistically robust and less influenced by trends or large price swings. For a user-defined lookback window 𝑁: Each frequency component 𝑘 is computed by summing real and imaginary projections of log-returns multiplied by complex exponential functions: 𝑒^−𝑖𝜃 = cos⁡(𝜃)−𝑖sin(𝜃) where: θ = 2πkm / N ​he result is the magnitude spectrum, calculated as: Magnitude(𝑘) = sqrt(Real_Sum(𝑘)^2 + Imag_Sum(𝑘)^2) This spectrum represents the strength of oscillations at each frequency over the lookback period, helping traders identify dominant cycles. Visual Analysis & Interpretation To give traders context for the FFT spectrum’s values, this script calculates: 25th Percentile (Purple Line) Represents relatively low cyclical intensity. Values below this threshold may signal quiet, noisy, or trendless periods. 75th Percentile (Red Line) Represents heightened cyclical dominance. Values above this threshold may indicate significant periodic activity and potential trend formation or rhythm in price action. The FFT magnitude of the lowest frequency component (index 0) is plotted directly on the chart in teal. Observing how this signal fluctuates relative to its percentile bands provides a dynamic measure of cyclical market activity. Chart examples In this NYSE:CL chart, we see the regime of the price accurately described in the spectral analysis. We see the price above the 75th percentile continue to trend higher until it breaks back below. In long trending markets like NYSE:PL has been, it can give a very good explanation of the strength. There was confidence to not switch regimes as we never crossed below the 75th percentile early in the move. The script is also usable on the lower timeframes. There is no difference in the usability from the different timeframes. Script Parameters Lookback Value (N) Default: 30 Defines how many bars of data to analyze. Larger N captures longer-term cycles but may smooth out shorter-term oscillations.
