Trend hunter strategy - buy & sellThe indicator combines multiple technical indicators and conditions to generate buy and sell signals.
Here's how the indicator works and how to use it:
Strategy Selection:
The indicator provides a dropdown menu to choose the type of strategy. The available options are "Pullback" and "Simple."
Supertrend Settings:
The Supertrend indicator is used to identify the trend direction.
The indicator takes two input parameters:
ATR Length: Specifies the length of the Average True Range (ATR) used in the Supertrend calculation. The default value is 10.
Factor: Specifies the factor used in the Supertrend calculation. The default value is 3.0.
EMA Settings:
The indicator also includes an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) condition.
You can enable or disable the EMA condition using the "Ema Condition On/Off" checkbox.
If enabled, the indicator calculates an EMA based on the close price.
You can specify the length of the EMA using the "Ema Length" input parameter. The default value is 200.
RSI Settings:
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator is used to generate additional conditions.
You can enable or disable the RSI condition using the "Rsi Condition On/Off" checkbox.
If enabled, the indicator calculates the RSI based on the close price.
You can specify the length of the RSI using the "Rsi Length" input parameter. The default value is 14.
Additionally, you can set the overbought and oversold levels for the RSI using the "RSI BUY Level" and "RSI SELL Level" input parameters, respectively. The default value for both is 50.
Final Conditions:
The indicator combines the Supertrend, EMA, and RSI conditions to generate buy and sell signals.
The specific conditions depend on the chosen strategy:
For the "Simple" strategy, the buy condition is when the Supertrend is in an up trend, not in a previous long position, the RSI is above the overbought level, and the close price is above the EMA.
For the "Pullback" strategy, the buy condition is when there is a cross under of the previous low with the Supertrend, the Supertrend is in an up trend, the RSI is above the overbought level, and the close price is above the EMA.
The sell conditions are the opposite of the respective buy conditions.
Backtest Period:
You can specify the start and end dates for the backtesting using the "Start calculations from" and "End calculations" inputs, respectively. The default start date is "2005-01-01" and the default end date is "2045-03-01." (this is work in progress) Still working on the table part, it is a bit tricky.
Trade Direction:
You can choose the trade direction using the "Trade Direction" input parameter. The available options are "Long," "Short," and "Both."
Depending on the selected trade direction, the indicator will generate signals accordingly.
Visual Display:
The indicator plots the Supertrend line on the price chart.
Buy signals are shown as green labels below the price bars.
Sell signals are shown as red labels above the price bars.
Adjust the input parameters according to your preferences, and then apply the indicator to a chart to see the generated signals. Please note that this indicator should be used for educational purposes only and should be thoroughly tested before using it for real trading.
Chart patterns
Triangle and Wedge Break [Only Long]The Triangle pattern
Triangle chart patterns are one of the most resourceful and practically advanced templates in technical analysis. These charts are the underpinnings of a well-calculated move when it comes to the assessment of risk and reward ratios. The pattern is often represented by drawing trendlines along an intersecting price scale, which suggests a stoppage in the ongoing trend.
The Wedge pattern
It is a price pattern that is denoted by the intersection of trend lines on a price chart. The opposing trend lines are drawn to connect the respective highs and lows of a price activity progression over the stretch of 10 to 50 periods. The lines can exhibit the magnitude of the highs and lows, signifying whether they are ascending or descending; this pattern gives the appearance of a wedge, hence the name. The wedge pattern has a good track record for forecasting price reversals.
This script is one of an attempt to help traders look for triangles and wedge patterns as soon as a breakout occurs.
How this script works:
1. First, it identifies the two tops of the pattern using the ta.pivot() function.
2. Next, it draws a trendline connecting those 2 tops, top A and top C (called the upper resistance line of the pattern).
3. Next, it draws a trendline connecting those 2 peaks (called the upper resistance line of the pattern).
4. Right now it will test 2 bottoms of the pattern (bottom B and bottom D).
5. Next, it will measure the ratio of waves AB, BC and CD (for example with triangle pattern, we need wave BC to retrace about 0.5 wave AB, same for wave CD and wave BC).
6. Finally, it will alert the trader if a break of a valid pattern occurs.
In addition, this script has more information about average trading volume, volume of candlestick breakouts. Those factors help us further confirm to enter the order.
This script is not all, you should combine other methods to increase your win rate.
Auto Motive Wave [Trendoscope]Earlier we created an interactive script to study Motive Waves by manually selecting the wave patterns on the chart.
You can find the open source script here:
In this indicator, we will try to do it automatically. Hence, you don't need to draw the waves manually to check anymore. The indicator will do it for you.
🎲 Conditions for Motive Wave
Rules for Motive Waves remain same as before. Motive wave can be either Impulse or Diagonal Wave. Diagonal wave can be either expanding or contracting diagonals. To learn more about diagonal waves, please go through this idea.
🎲 Rules for generic motive waves are as below
Pivots in order - Checks wether the pivots selected are in progressive order.
Directions in order - Checks if the pivot directions are correct - either PH, PL, PH, PL, PH, PL or PL, PH, PL, PH, PL, PH
Wave 2 never moves beyond the start of wave 1 - Wave 2 retracement is less than 100% of wave1
Wave 3 always moves beyond the end of wave 1 - Wave 3 retracement is more than 100% of wave2
Wave 3 is never the shortest one - Checks if Wave 3 is bigger than either Wave 1 or wave 5 or both.
🎲 Now, these are the specific rules for Impulse Waves on top of Motive Wave conditions
Wave 4 never moves beyond the end of Wave 1 - meaning wave 1 and wave 4 never overlap on price scale.
Wave 1, 3, 5 are all not extended. We check for retracement ratios of more than 200% to be considered as extended wave.
🎲 Below are the conditions for Diagonal Waves on top of Motive Wave conditions
Wave4 never moves beyond the start of Wave 3 - Wave 4 retracement is less than 100%
Wave 4 always ends within the price territory of Wave 1 - Unlike impulse wave, wave 4 intersects with wave 1 in case of diagonal waves. This is the major difference between impulse and diagonal wave.
Waves are progressively expanding or contracting - Wave1 > Wave3 > Wave5 and Wave2 > Wave4 to be contracting diagonal. Wave1 < Wave3 < Wave5 and Wave2 < Wave4 to be expanding diagonal wave.
Settings are for the indicator include option to select zigzag length, theme color, and few constraints about the waves to be scanned. You can use the tooltips to find more about them
Super Secret 200 EMAThe indicator is called "Super Secret 200 EMA." It combines two technical indicators, the Supertrend and the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA), to generate buy and sell opportunities in a trading chart.
Here's how the indicator works and how you can use it:
Supertrend Calculation:
The Supertrend indicator helps identify the current trend in the market. It uses two parameters: Length and Multiplier.
Length: This parameter determines the number of periods used for the calculation.
Multiplier: It controls the width of the Supertrend line, indicating the level of volatility considered in the calculation.
The Supertrend is calculated by looping through the historical data from length to 1.
For each period, it checks whether the closing price has increased or decreased compared to the previous period.
If the closing price has increased, it updates the highestHigh value with the maximum of the current highest high and the high of the current period.
If the closing price has decreased, it updates the lowestLow value with the minimum of the current lowest low and the low of the current period.
Finally, it calculates the Supertrend value using the following formula:
If the change in the closing price is positive: Supertrend = lowestLow + (multiplier * Average True Range (ATR))
If the change in the closing price is negative: Supertrend = highestHigh - (multiplier * ATR)
The Supertrend line will be green if it is above the 200 EMA line and red if it is below.
200 EMA Calculation:
The 200 EMA is a widely used moving average indicator that gives more weight to recent prices.
The EMA period is set to 200 in this case.
The 200 EMA is calculated using the EMA formula, taking into account the closing prices over the specified period.
Plotting:
The Supertrend and 200 EMA lines are plotted on the chart using the plot function.
The Supertrend line is colored green if it is above the 200 EMA line and red if it is below.
The 200 EMA line is colored green if the closing price is above it and red if it is below.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
The indicator determines the buy and sell conditions based on the crossover and crossunder of the closing price with the 200 EMA line and the Supertrend line.
Buy Condition: A buy signal is generated when the closing price crosses above the 200 EMA line and is also above the Supertrend line.
Sell Condition: A sell signal is generated when the closing price crosses below the 200 EMA line and is also below the Supertrend line.
Plotting Buy and Sell Signals:
You can use this indicator to identify potential buy and sell opportunities in your trading strategy. However, please note that this is a simplified explanation, and it's essential to thoroughly understand the indicator's principles and backtest it with historical data before relying on it for actual trading decisions.
Use this with other confluences for best results and never rely on a single indicator
bar viewBar view is a simple script to show other higher time frame windows while you are focusing on lower time for precise decision making.
For example you are currently operating at 1 minute time frame and you want to see other bars on higher time frames e.g. 5 minute, 15 minutes etc.
Feel free to add multiple bar view to see different time frames.
SMC Toolkit |ASE|This indicator provides 10+ features all-in-one. Focusing on price action and Smart Money concepts, we have provided automated multi-timeframe features such as Market Structure(BOS / CHoCH) to identify trends, Fair Value Gaps to identify Imbalances, and much more.
Pure price action analysis is a preferred strategy over indicators due to their lag and noise. Many traders popularized SMC or “Smart Money” concepts to identify and trade like/with institutions or Smart Money traders. We have automated these features and made them multi-timeframe to simplify your charting process and advance your trading so you can efficiently trade.
Features:
The included price action features are listed below:
- Multi-Timeframe Market Structure (BOS, CHoCH, MSS, IDM)
- Trend based Candle Coloring
- Multichart (Extra time frame on the same chart)
- Multi-Timeframe Fair Value Gaps & Balanced Price Ranges
- Trapped Market Participants (Multi-Time Frame based on Orderblocks)
- SMT Divergences
- Volume Imbalances
- Premium Discount Array
- Displacement Candles
- Previous OHLC (Daily, Weekly, Monthly)
- VWAP and Std.Dev. Waves
Benefits & Examples:
In the image below we can see plenty of trade setups that formed in confluence with the features we were using. Displayed we have higher timeframe FVGs as our point of interests, Market Structure (Trend Bar Coloring) as our entry confirmation, and Liquidity Levels as our targets.
In this image we can see the same setup as before, higher timeframe FVG with Market Structure reversal targeting a Liquidity Level. In addition we can see the Trapped Market Participants feature showing trapped sellers at the low which provides additional confluence for our long position and offers a cleaner and safer entry on the pullback.
Our goal is to provide as many useful features as possible, automating the process to make it easier and quicker for us as traders. We want to spend less time charting and more time planning proper trades.
Interactive Motive Wave ChecklistHere is an interactive tool that can be used for learning a bit about Elliott Waves
🎲 How it works?
The script upon load asks users to enter 6 pivots in an order. Once all 6 pivots are selected on the interactive chart, the script will calculate if the structure is a valid motive wave.
When you load the script, you will see a prompt on the chart to select points on the chart to form 6 pivots.
When you select the 6 pivots, the checklists are populated on the chart to notify users which conditions for qualifying the selection has passed and which of them are failed.
🎲 Conditions for Motive Wave
Motive wave can be either Impulse or Diagonal Wave. Diagonal wave can be either expanding or contracting diagonals. To learn more about diagonal waves, please go through this idea.
Rules for generic motive waves are as below
Pivots in order - Checks wether the pivots selected are in progressive order.
Directions in order - Checks if the pivot directions are correct - either PH, PL, PH, PL, PH, PL or PL, PH, PL, PH, PL, PH
Wave 2 never moves beyond the start of wave 1 - Wave 2 retracement is less than 100% of wave1
Wave 3 always moves beyond the end of wave 1 - Wave 3 retracement is more than 100% of wave2
Wave 3 is never the shortest one - Checks if Wave 3 is bigger than either Wave 1 or wave 5 or both.
Now, these are the specific rules for Impulse Waves on top of Motive Wave conditions
Wave 4 never moves beyond the end of Wave 1 - meaning wave 1 and wave 4 never overlap on price scale.
Wave 1, 3, 5 are all not extended. We check for retracement ratios of more than 200% to be considered as extended wave.
Below are the conditions for Diagonal Waves on top of Motive Wave conditions
Wave4 never moves beyond the start of Wave 3 - Wave 4 retracement is less than 100%
Wave 4 always ends within the price territory of Wave 1 - Unlike impulse wave, wave 4 intersects with wave 1 in case of diagonal waves. This is the major difference between impulse and diagonal wave.
Waves are progressively expanding or contracting - Wave1 > Wave3 > Wave5 and Wave2 > Wave4 to be contracting diagonal. Wave1 < Wave3 < Wave5 and Wave2 < Wave4 to be expanding diagonal wave.
Here is an example of diagonal wave projection

Correlation TrackerCorrelation Tracker Indicator
The Correlation Tracker indicator calculates and visualizes the correlation between two symbols on a chart. It helps traders and investors understand the relationship and strength of correlation between the selected symbol and another symbol of their choice.
Indicator Features:
- Correlation Calculation: The indicator calculates the correlation between two symbols based on the provided lookback period.
- Correlation Scale: The correlation value is normalized to a scale ranging from 0 to 1 for easy interpretation.
- Table Display: A table is displayed on the chart showing the correlation value and a descriptive label indicating the strength of the correlation.
- Customization Options: Users can customize the text color, table background color, and choose whether to display the Pearson correlation value.
- The Correlation Tracker indicator utilizes a logarithmic scale calculation, making it particularly suitable for longer timeframes such as weekly charts, thereby providing a more accurate and balanced measure of correlations across a wide range of values.
How to Use:
1. Select the symbol for which you want to track the correlation (default symbol is "SPX").
2. Adjust the lookback period to define the historical data range for correlation calculation.
3. Customize the text color and table background color according to your preference.
4. Choose whether to display the Pearson correlation value or a descriptive label for correlation strength.
5. Observe the correlation line on the chart, which changes color based on the strength of the correlation.
6. Refer to the correlation table for the exact correlation value or the descriptive label indicating the correlation strength.
Note: The indicator can be applied to any time frame chart and is not limited to logarithmic scale.
ICT Seek & Destroy Profile [TFO]The goal of this indicator is to anticipate potentially "choppy" New York trading sessions, based on what price does during the Asia and London trading sessions. Based on some user-defined success criteria, we can also track how successful these warnings are.
Many Inner Circle Trader (ICT) students have noted that choppy New York sessions are often preceded by erratic London sessions which take both the high and low of the Asian range.
When this criteria is true and warnings are enabled, a table will automatically populate with a custom warning message for the duration of the NY session, indicating to the user that it could be a choppy trading day.
We can measure and track the success rate of these warnings via the following success criteria:
- NY stays within London range
- NY exceeds London high and low
- NY closes within London range
- NY range is too small
The first three criteria should be self explanatory - the NY range either stays within the London high & low, exceeds them both, or closes within them.
The last criteria is a measure of the New York range compared to a user defined standard deviation of all historical ranges (for the number of sessions that the current chart can load). The default value of 1.5 would imply that a "successful" S&D day could be if the NY range (from high to low) was less than or equal to 1.5 standard deviations of all past ranges.
All these options can be toggled on/off as well, for those that only want to consider certain success criteria and not others. When any of the selected success criteria are true, that essentially indicates that the current session's warning was successful.
Cold heart reversal with alertsThis will help you find reversal point pinpoint to its candle actually crossed the lowest or highest in the overbought and oversold zone (stochastic 9,3,3)
Various input parameters are defined . These inputs allow the user to customize the lookback period which is the number of candle before the low or high, Stochastic length.
User can also define their own high and low values that will plot on the chart.
It will be super convenient for traders who want confirmed price closed that is actually its significant point.
I used barstate confirmed in this code so you don't have to worry about repaint
Liquidity Grab ReversalIndicator looks for liquidity grab & reversal trades on any timeframe. These types of trades reveal how the big institutions, banks and hedge funds trade with big money. If they want their very big positions to be filled they need to find areas in chart where the majority of the money is sitting. Where is it? Where is the majority of orders placed? Right below supports or right above resistances, these orders are stoplosses or stop orders. So they need to push the price to these areas, take all the available stoplosses and trigger all the available stop orders in order to fill their positions and then push the price to the opposite side to make profit (and retail to lose).
Indicator looks for support or resistance (S/R) areas which are represented by dotted lines. This S/R areas are created by minimum of 2 pivot high/low (H/L). Every pivot H/L that creates the S/R area is marked with diamond label. This S/R area is called liquidity. After liquidity is created, indicator looks for liquidity grab (mostly represented by fast spike to this area) and then price should go fast to the opposite side. This behaviour can be called reversal after liquidity grab. If we want to participate in the reversal we can put stop order at high of the candle that grabbed the support/liquidity if it is long liquidity grab or at low of the candle that grabbed the resistance/liquidity if it is short liquidity grab. These entry points are represented by solid lines. Stoplosses can be placed to the local maximum/minimum created after liquidity grab - so if entry is at high of the liquidity grab candle then stoploss can be put at low of the structure created after liquidity grab.
In settings of the indicator you can set whether only long or only short liquidity grabs are shown. Long liquidity grabs are green and short ones are red.
You can adjust core settings of the indicator:
Liquidity H/Ls Look Back/Forward Period: For PIVOT HIGH there has to be X (by default 1) candle/s lower to the left and X (by default 1) candle/s lower to the right and vice versa for PIVOT LOW,
Liquidity Grab by Close or High/Low.
Bank nifty puller and Dragger Hello Guys
using the below script you can check the nifty bank puller and draggers at live
how to use it?
it's straightforward
in the table, we will see the points contribution by each bank to Bank nifty
graph shows the overall strength of the buyers and sellers
using graphs also you can trade
but If you want to use a graph please note these important points
1:when the evergreen line cut the red line from below to top (cross-over) it says that buyers are strong but sometimes cross-over may fail and fall again
2: same things happen with the red line also
3: sometimes the graph shows that's a big difference between the red line and the green line that the market opened gap up gap down ( its difficult to define ) will update soon
4:when the market consolidates red and green lines will be very near to each other
5: when the green line is upper side the buyers are strong when the red line is upside sellers are strong (but sometimes it may mislead please be careful )
using the table you can check the overall view of all important banks
according to the time frame, data will be shown
this image shows the break out at 12.45 pm
2nd image shows the consolidation face of the market
this image shows that directly after opening the market sellers became stronger
this is how you can use the indicator
you can use graph or you can use table to get the over all view of the Bank nifty
Multi-Divergence Buy/Sell IndicatorThe "Multi-Divergence Buy/Sell Indicator" is a technical analysis tool that combines multiple divergence signals from different indicators to identify potential buy and sell opportunities in the market. Here's a breakdown of how the indicator works and how to use it:
Input Parameters:
RSI Length: Specifies the length of the RSI (Relative Strength Index) calculation.
MACD Short Length: Specifies the short-term length for the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) calculation.
MACD Long Length: Specifies the long-term length for the MACD calculation.
MACD Signal Smoothing: Specifies the smoothing length for the MACD signal line calculation.
Stochastic Length: Specifies the length of the Stochastic oscillator calculation.
Stochastic Overbought Level: Defines the overbought level for the Stochastic oscillator.
Stochastic Oversold Level: Defines the oversold level for the Stochastic oscillator.
Calculation of Indicators:
RSI: Calculates the RSI based on the specified RSI Length.
MACD: Calculates the MACD line, signal line, and histogram based on the specified MACD parameters.
Stochastic: Calculates the Stochastic oscillator based on the specified Stochastic parameters.
Divergence Detection:
RSI Divergence: Identifies a bullish divergence when the RSI crosses above its 14-period simple moving average (SMA).
MACD Divergence: Identifies a bullish divergence when the MACD line crosses above the signal line.
Stochastic Divergence: Identifies a bullish divergence when the Stochastic crosses above its 14-period SMA.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
Buy Condition: Triggers a buy signal when all three divergences (RSI, MACD, and Stochastic) occur simultaneously.
Sell Condition: Triggers a sell signal when both RSI and MACD divergences occur, but Stochastic divergence does not occur.
Plotting Buy/Sell Signals:
The indicator plots green "Buy" labels below the price bars when the buy condition is met.
It plots red "Sell" labels above the price bars when the sell condition is met.
Usage:
The indicator can be used on any timeframe and for any trading instrument.
Look for areas where all three divergences (RSI, MACD, and Stochastic) align to generate stronger buy and sell signals.
Consider additional technical analysis and risk management strategies to validate the signals and manage your trades effectively.
Remember, no indicator guarantees profitable trades, so it's essential to use this indicator in conjunction with other tools and perform thorough analysis before making trading decisions.

Fib top and bottom Hunter - No Repaint "Top and bottom Hunter" indicator combines two popular technical analysis tools, Fibonacci retracement levels and the Relative Strength Index (RSI), to identify potential trading opportunities in the market.
Fibonacci retracement levels are based on the Fibonacci sequence, a mathematical series where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. In trading, Fibonacci retracement levels are used to identify potential support and resistance levels based on the recent price action. The indicator uses two Fibonacci levels, fib_0 and fib_1, which are typically set to 0.382 and 0.618, respectively. These levels represent common retracement ratios.
To calculate the Fibonacci levels, the indicator considers the highest and lowest prices within a specified range, typically the highest and lowest of the last two bars. It calculates the fib_range, which is the difference between the highest and lowest prices. Then, fib_level_0 and fib_level_1 are determined by subtracting the Fibonacci ratios from the highest price.
The RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It helps identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market. The RSI parameters used in this indicator are rsi_length (length of the RSI calculation), rsi_overbought (upper threshold indicating overbought conditions), and rsi_oversold (lower threshold indicating oversold conditions). The RSI value is calculated based on the closing prices.
The indicator generates buy and sell signals based on specific conditions:
Buy Condition: A buy signal is triggered when the RSI crosses above the oversold level (rsi_oversold) and the closing price is higher than fib_level_1. This indicates a potential reversal or bounce from the Fibonacci support level.
Sell Condition: A sell signal is triggered when the RSI crosses below the overbought level (rsi_overbought) and the closing price is lower than fib_level_0. This suggests a potential reversal or pullback from the Fibonacci resistance level.
In summary, this indicator combines the power of Fibonacci retracement levels and the RSI to identify potential trading opportunities. It helps traders find confluence between the Fibonacci support or resistance levels and the RSI readings, indicating potential trend reversals or bounces. Traders can use this information to make informed decisions about entering or exiting positions in the market.
Feel free to change the settings for what works best for you and use this with other confluences. I personally use RSI overbought and oversold values as 80 and 20
LNL Scalper ArrowsLNL Scalper Arrows
The indicator consist of various different types of candlestick patterns that are truly time tested by multiple veteran traders. These arrows are a combination of short-term scalping strategies taught by Linda Raschke & a trader that goes by name Quant Trade Edge. These strategies/patterns occur regularly within the markets. They offer high probability quick moves during the trending days. These four patterns are based on pure price action, no oscillators, no trend, no momentum indicators involved. Trend (ema) is there just as a simple trend gauge.
LNL Scalper Arrows were designed specifically for intra-day trading. Mostly useful for the futures but also stocks as well. These arrows can work anywhere between the fast-moving 512 or 1600 tick charts to a 1min, 2min and up to 5min or 10min charts.
Trend Gauge (Exponential Moving Average)
Nothing fancy just a classic EMA that can guide the direction of the short-term trend. I have added a custom coloring of the EMA that is based on a simple RSI filter. That should help to visualize the non-directional moments within the trend. Although the length is adjustable, for scalping it is better to focus on smaller periods such as 9, 13 or 20 or 34 but anything above 50 loses its purpose as a short-term trend gauge. Again, this is a scalping tool not a trend tool, you are not going to get rid of the fakeouts by increasing the period of the trend.
Tail Arrows (Eat the Tail Pattern)
Tail is a candlestick that is either a price rejection spike, or a flag continuation pattern on a lower time frame. A failed action. It is basically a candle with much bigger wick (shadow) of the candle than the actual body. Such candles are usually telling us about strong participation from the other side of the market. Eat the tail pattern occurs whenever the low of the Tail candle is immediately broken on a following candle "the tail is eaten alive". Such a breaks occurs in a most aggressive types of markets with a strong momentum. DO NOT try to trade this in a low volume or a ranging market. Tail Arrows are the most aggressive arrows & should be only used on the highest volume or a parabolic momentum markets.
Scalp Arrows (Scallop Pattern)
Known as Scallops or minor lows or highs, these patterns are the most common within the all scalper arrows. They occur regularly on 1min & 5min charts - basically everyday. Scallops provide the best possible risk to reward entry within the trend without the need of any indicators or oscillators. The Scallop Up 3 bar pattern consist of a high that is lower that the previous high but also low that is lower than the previous low. Scallop Up or a minor low triggers when the last high is broken, creating a three bar mountain or a peak within the 5 bar span.
Hoagie Arrows (Hoagie Pattern)
Hoagies occur way less often than any other scalping patterns. Hoagies represent two (or more) inside candles within the shadow of a first candle. Such a formation is creating a small compression or a range that sooner or later breaks out. The hoagie is triggered whenever the high or low of the shadow (first) candle is broken. The great thing about the hoagies is that they can work either way despite the trend direction. Although this indicator is coded for the 2 bar hoagies, there are no limitations on how much inside bars can hoagie include.
Umbrella Arrows (Umbrella Pattern)
Another really awesome 3 bar pattern that is really fun to trade. Umbrella occurs when the candle before the previous candle is a pin bar or a tail bar and the body of the previous candle is within the shadow or a wick of the candle before. The umbrella is triggered once the high or low of the previous bar is broken. Umbrellas are more frequent than Hoagies but occur much less than the Scallops.
Outside Bar Wedges (Outside Bar Pattern)
Pretty much self-explanatory candlestick pattern. Outside Bar is basically any bar that peaks outside of the both ends of the previous candle. So the range of the candle is higher & it looked beyond the high and beyond the low of the previous candle. These candles are signalizing the potenial momentum change. Ouside Bars usually occur at the tops or bottoms of the moves. I decided to add them because they can serve as a great addition to these scalping patterns.
Signal vs. SignalBreak Mode
The trigger can be viewed in two different ways:
1. Signal: Plots the trigger before the trigger bar, basically right when the pattern is formed but NOT YET triggered. The signal is triggered once the next candle break the high or low of the current candle.
2. SignalBrake: Plots the trigger after the break of the high or low of the actual pattern. It is basically a candle after the signal candle. (Signal is better for trading because it gives you time to prepare for the actual break of the high or low = the actual signal. SignalBrake is great for looking back in history only for the patterns that actually traded).
Pin Bar BTW Ratio
Pin Bar (Body-To-Wick) Ratio represents the size of the body of a pin bar candle for Eat the Tail and Umbrella patterns. Pin Bar BTW Ratio measures the ratio between the wick & the body of the candle. Ref. interval is 2.0 - 5.0 (ideal pin bar is 2.0 - 3.0 = the wick or a shadow is 2x - 3x bigger than the body of the candle)
ATR Stop & Target Labels
I also created three simple labels (tables) that can show you the ideal target & stop as well as the current ATR. Since LNL Scalper Arrows consist of high probability scalping patterns, a good rule of thumb to follow is to use a half of the current ATR as a target and a current ATR as a stop (or two times the target). So if the current 7 period ATR is 30 the target would be 15 pts. and a stop around 30 pts. With such a risk management you should aim for a win rate 70% or higher. Obviously you can adjust the risk management in the settings to your personal preference.
Low Range vs. High Range Markets
There are two major downsides with the Scalper Arrows:
1. You need volume and a volatility. These patterns really do struggle in ranging "boring" sideways action. It is absolutely crucial to recognize the current market environment and really stay cautions and (or completely out) in case the chop continues. Adding something like DMI can help you recognize the potential flat markets.
2. Not only do you need volume & momentum, you also need a decent range. This indicator works better on a rangy market such as NQ futures or YM. But are much tougher to trade on lower range markets such as some stocks or ZB futures or basically any other lower range market.
Hope it helps.
Advanced Choppiness Indicator with CPMA"The Advanced Choppiness Indicator with CPMA is a technical analysis tool designed to assist traders in identifying choppy market conditions and determining trend direction. It combines two key components: the Choppiness Index and a Custom Price Moving Average (CPMA).
The Choppiness Index is calculated using the Average True Range (ATR), which measures market volatility. It compares the ATR to the highest high and lowest low over a specified period. A higher Choppiness Index value indicates choppier market conditions, while a lower value suggests smoother and more directional price movements.
The CPMA is a custom moving average that takes into account various price types, including the close, high, low, and other combinations. It calculates the average of these price types over a specific length. The CPMA provides a smoother trend line that can help identify support and resistance levels more accurately than traditional moving averages.
