Motive Wave Scanner [Trendoscope®]Motive Wave Scanner is a simple algorithm to find out motive waves as per the rules of Elliott Wave theory.
It is an extension to our previous open source script Interactive Motive Wave Checklist which provides interactive capability to select six points of a five wave formation. Once users select them, the rules of motive waves are applied to manually selected points to highlight them as either diagonal wave, motive wave or none.
This indicator does the same. But, instead of requesting the pivots manually from the user, the indicator automatically picks and scans them through zigzag.
We have already published a similar script as protected source. But, due to some changes in the pine engine, there have been few issues in the runtime. In this publication, we not only address those runtime issues but also making it open source for the users to make use of the source code and enhance it further.
🎲 What are motive waves
Motive waves are strong upward or downward movement with 5 subwaves.
Motive Wave in the upward direction will start with Swing High, Ends with Swing High and consists of 3 Higher Highs and 2 Higher Lows representing strong upward trend.
Motive Wave in the downward direction will start with Swing Low, Ends with Swing low and consists of 3 Lower Lows and 2 Lower Highs representing strong downward trend.
🎲 Types of Motive Waves
Motive Waves are broadly classified by two types:
Impulse Waves
Diagonal Waves
Diagonal Waves are further classified into Contracting and Expanding Diagonals. These can fall into the category of either leading diagonal and ending diagonal.
🎲 Rules of Motive Waves
🎯 Generic Rule of any motive waves are as follows
Should consist of 5 alternating waves. (Swing High followed by Swing low and vice versa)
This can start from Swing High and end in Swing High or start from Swing Low and end in Swing Low of a zigzag.
Wave-2 should not move beyond Wave-1. This means, the Wave-2 is always shorter than Wave-1 with respect to distance between the price of start and end.
Wave-3 always moves beyond Wave-1. This means, the Wave-3 is always longer than Wave-2 in terms of price
Among Wave-1, Wave-3, and Wave-5, Wave-3 is never the shortest one. This means, either Wave-1 or Wave-5 can be longer than Wave-3 but not both. Wave-3 can also be longest among the three.
Here is the pictorial representation of the rules of the Motive Waves
For a wave to be considered as motive wave, it also needs to follow the rules of either impulse or diagonal waves.
🎯 Rules for a 5 wave pattern to be considered as Impulse Wave are:
Wave-4 never overlaps with Wave-1 price range
Wave-1, Wave-3 and Wave-5 should not be either expanding or contracting. Meaning, we cannot have Wave-1 > Wave-3 > Wave-5 , and we cannot have Wave-1 < Wave-3 < Wave-5
Pictorial representation of the impulse wave rules are as below:
🎯 Rules for the Diagonal Waves are as follows
Contrary to the first rule of impulse wave, in case of diagonal wave, Wave-4 always overlaps with Wave-1 price range. But, it will not go beyond Wave-3
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.
Pictorial representation of the Contracting Diagonal Wave is as below. Here, the Wave-1, Wave-3 and Wave-5 are in contracting formation.
Pictorial representation of the Expanding Diagonal Wave is as below. Here, the Wave-1, Wave-3 and Wave-5 are in expanding formation.
🎲 Indicator Settings
Indicator settings are defined as below:
Repaint Warning : If Repaint is selected, the indicator will throw a runtime error after certain bars or when alerts are set. This is due to some pine internal issue. At present, we do not have any solution for this until the internal issue is resolved by Tradingview Pine Team.
Chart patterns
Liquidity VisualizerThe "Liquidity Visualizer" indicator is designed to help traders visualize potential areas of liquidity on a price chart. In trading, liquidity often accumulates around key levels where market participants have placed their stop orders or pending orders. These levels are commonly found at significant highs and lows, where traders tend to set their stop-losses or take-profit orders. The indicator aims to highlight these areas by drawing unbroken lines that extend indefinitely until breached by the price action.
Specifically, this indicator identifies and marks pivot highs and pivot lows, which are price levels where a trend changes direction. When a pivot high or pivot low is formed, it is represented on the chart with a horizontal line that continues to extend until the price touches or surpasses that level. The line remains in place as long as the level remains unbroken, which means there is potential liquidity still resting at that level.
The concept behind this indicator is that liquidity is likely to be resting at unbroken pivot points. These levels are areas where stop-loss orders or pending buy/sell orders may have accumulated, making them attractive zones for large market participants, such as institutions, to target. By visualizing these unbroken levels, traders can gain insight into where liquidity might be concentrated and where potential price reversals or significant movements could occur as liquidity is taken out.
The indicator helps traders make more informed decisions by showing them key price levels that may attract significant market activity. For instance, if a trader sees multiple unbroken pivot high lines above the current price, they might infer that there is a cluster of liquidity in that area, which could lead to a price spike as those levels are breached. Similarly, unbroken pivot lows may indicate areas where downside liquidity is concentrated.
In summary, this indicator acts as a "liquidity visualizer," providing traders with a clear, visual representation of potential liquidity resting at significant pivot points. This information can be valuable for understanding where price might be drawn to, and where large movements might occur as liquidity is targeted and removed by market participants.
VKPEDIA Trading ZoneDesigned with the help of Traders and with inspiration from the ICT Everything indicator by coldbrewrosh, the purpose of this script is to identify Potential "Trade Entry Zone" while also storing their highs and lows for future reference, until traded through.
There are One session whose times and labels can all be changed to one's liking. Some prefer slight alterations to traditional ICT Killzones, or use different time windows altogether. Either way, the session are fully customizable. The sessions will auto fit to keep track of the highs and lows made during their respective times, and these pivots will be extended until they are invalidated.
What can you learn and understand from this indicator is
1. You can clearly see where high potential trade and reversal of the market are happening and this general sessions are included with london and new york session are refered as "TEZ".
2. Once you apply this indicator on your chart High and low are automatically mentioned in charts for your future reference.

Flat Tops/Bottoms aka Devil's MarkThis Pine script indicator is designed to visually depict price inefficiencies, as identified by Flat Top/Bottom Candles (aka Devil's Mark). A Flat Top/Bottom Candle is a scenario where there is an absence of a wick at the top or the bottom of the candle. These represent zones of inefficiency and will frequently act as magnets for price that the market will strive to rebalance in accordance with ICT principles.
Relevance:
Flat Top/Bottom Candles are zones where price delivery didn't provide opportunity for manipulation representing an inefficiency that the market will seek to rebalance. Consequently, these zones can provide good targets for entries in the opposite direction or take profit targets for previous entries in the direction of the Flat Top/Bottom Candle.
How It Works:
The indicator keeps track of all Flat Top/Bottom Candles from the beginning of the available history. It automatically removes all mitigated Flat Top/Bottom Candles, which are situations where the price has gone past the candle without a wick.
Configurability:
You can configure the colors, style & width of the lines used to represent flat top/bottom candles.
What makes this indicator different:
Designed with high performance in mind, to reduce impact on chart render time.
Only keeping the currently valid flat top/bottoms on the chart.

Three Bar Reversal Pattern [LuxAlgo]The Three Bar Reversal Pattern indicator identifies and highlights three bar reversal patterns on the user price chart.
The script also provides an option for incorporating various trend indicators used to filter out detected signals, allowing them to enhance their accuracy and help obtain a more comprehensive analysis.
🔶 USAGE
The script automates the detection of three-bar reversal patterns and provides a clear, visually identifiable signal for potential trend reversals.
When a reversal chart pattern is confirmed and price action aligns with the pattern, the pattern's boundaries are extended, forming levels, with the upper boundary often acting as a resistance and the lower boundary as a support.
The script allows users to filter patterns based on a specific trend direction detected by multiple trend indicators. Users can choose to view patterns that are either aligned with the detected trend or opposite to it.
Included trend indicators are: Moving Average Cloud, Supertrend, and Donchian Channels.
🔶 DETAILS
The three-bar reversal pattern is a technical analysis pattern that signals a potential reversal in the prevailing trend. The pattern consists of three consecutive bar formations:
First Bar and Second Bar: 2 consecutive of the same sentiment, representing the prevailing trend in the market.
Third Bar: Confirms the reversal by closing beyond the high or low of the first bar, signaling a potential change in market sentiment.
Various types of three-bar reversal patterns are documented. The script supports two main types:
Normal Pattern: Detects three-bar reversal patterns without requiring the third bar closing price to surpass the high (bullish pattern) or low (bearish pattern) of the first bar. It identifies basic formations signaling potential trend reversals.
Enhanced Pattern: Specifically identifies three-bar reversal patterns where the third bar closing price surpasses the high (bullish pattern) or low (bearish pattern) of the first bar. This type provides a more selective signal for stronger trend reversals.
🔶 SETTINGS
Pattern Type: Users can choose the type of 3-bar reversal patterns to detect: Normal, Enhanced, or All. "Normal" detects patterns that do not necessarily surpass the high/low of the first bar. "Enhanced" detects patterns where the third bar surpasses the high/low of the first bar. "All" detects both Normal and Enhanced patterns.
Derived Support and Resistance: Toggles the visibility of the support and resistance levels/zones.
🔹 Trend Filtering
Filtering: Allows users to filter patterns based on the trend indicators: Moving Average Cloud, Supertrend, and Donchian Channels. The "Aligned" option only detects patterns that align with the trend and conversely, the "Opposite" option detects patterns that go against the trend.
🔹 Trend Indicator Settings
Moving Average Cloud: Allows traders to choose the type of moving averages (SMA, EMA, HMA, etc.) and set the lengths for fast and slow-moving averages.
Supertrend: Options to set the ATR length and factor for Supertrend.
Donchian Channels: Option to set the length for the channel calculation.

Unlock the Power of Seasonality: Monthly Performance StrategyThe Monthly Performance Strategy leverages the power of seasonality—those cyclical patterns that emerge in financial markets at specific times of the year. From tax deadlines to industry-specific events and global holidays, historical data shows that certain months can offer strong opportunities for trading. This strategy was designed to help traders capture those opportunities and take advantage of recurring market patterns through an automated and highly customizable approach.
The Inspiration Behind the Strategy:
This strategy began with the idea that market performance is often influenced by seasonal factors. Historically, certain months outperform others due to a variety of reasons, like earnings reports, holiday shopping, or fiscal year-end events. By identifying these periods, traders can better time their market entries and exits, giving them an advantage over those who solely rely on technical indicators or news events.
The Monthly Performance Strategy was built to take this concept and automate it. Instead of manually analyzing market data for each month, this strategy enables you to select which months you want to focus on and then executes trades based on predefined rules, saving you time and optimizing the performance of your trades.
Key Features:
Customizable Month Selection: The strategy allows traders to choose specific months to test or trade on. You can select any combination of months—for example, January, July, and December—to focus on based on historical trends. Whether you’re targeting the historically strong months like December (often driven by the 'Santa Rally') or analyzing quieter months for low volatility trades, this strategy gives you full control.
Automated Monthly Entries and Exits: The strategy automatically enters a long position on the first day of your selected month(s) and exits the trade at the beginning of the next month. This makes it perfect for traders who want to benefit from seasonal patterns without manually monitoring the market. It ensures precision in entering and exiting trades based on pre-set timeframes.
Re-entry on Stop Loss or Take Profit: One of the standout features of this strategy is its ability to re-enter a trade if a position hits the stop loss (SL) or take profit (TP) level during the selected month. If your trade reaches either a SL or TP before the month ends, the strategy will automatically re-enter a new trade the next trading day. This feature ensures that you capture multiple trading opportunities within the same month, instead of exiting entirely after a successful or unsuccessful trade. Essentially, it keeps your capital working for you throughout the entire month, not just when conditions align perfectly at the beginning.
Built-in Risk Management: Risk management is a vital part of this strategy. It incorporates an Average True Range (ATR)-based stop loss and take profit system. The ATR helps set dynamic levels based on the market’s volatility, ensuring that your stops and targets adjust to changing market conditions. This not only helps limit potential losses but also maximizes profit potential by adapting to market behavior.
Historical Performance Testing: You can backtest this strategy on any period by setting the start year. This allows traders to analyze past market data and optimize their strategy based on historical performance. You can fine-tune which months to trade based on years of data, helping you identify trends and patterns that provide the best trading results.
Versatility Across Asset Classes: While this strategy can be particularly effective for stock market indices and sector rotation, it’s versatile enough to apply to other asset classes like forex, commodities, and even cryptocurrencies. Each asset class may exhibit different seasonal behaviors, allowing you to explore opportunities across various markets with this strategy.
How It Works:
The trader selects which months to test or trade, for example, January, April, and October.
The strategy will automatically open a long position on the first trading day of each selected month.
If the trade hits either the take profit or stop loss within the month, the strategy will close the current position and re-enter a new trade on the next trading day, provided the month has not yet ended. This ensures that the strategy continues to capture any potential gains throughout the month, rather than stopping after one successful trade.
At the start of the next month, the position is closed, and if the next month is also selected, a new trade is initiated following the same process.
Risk Management and Dynamic Adjustments:
Incorporating risk management with this strategy is as easy as turning on the ATR-based system. The strategy will automatically calculate stop loss and take profit levels based on the market’s current volatility, adjusting dynamically to the conditions. This ensures that the risk is controlled while allowing for flexibility in capturing profits during both high and low volatility periods.
Maximizing the Seasonal Edge:
By automating entries and exits based on specific months and combining that with dynamic risk management, the Ultimate Monthly Performance Strategy takes advantage of seasonal patterns without requiring constant monitoring. The added re-entry feature after hitting a stop loss or take profit ensures that you are always in the game, maximizing your chances to capture profitable trades during favorable seasonal periods.
Who Can Benefit from This Strategy?
This strategy is perfect for traders who:
Want to exploit the predictable, recurring patterns that occur during specific months of the year.
Prefer a hands-off, automated trading approach that allows them to focus on other aspects of their portfolio or life.
Seek to manage risk effectively with ATR-based stop losses and take profits that adjust to market conditions.
Appreciate the ability to re-enter trades when a take profit or stop loss is hit within the month, ensuring that they don't miss out on multiple opportunities during a favorable period.
In summary, the Ultimate Monthly Performance Strategy provides traders with a comprehensive tool to capitalize on seasonal trends, optimize their trading opportunities throughout the year, and manage risk effectively. The built-in re-entry system ensures you continue to benefit from the market even after hitting targets within the same month, making it a robust strategy for traders looking to maximize their edge in any market.
Risk Disclaimer:
Trading financial markets involves significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The Monthly Performance Strategy is designed to help traders identify seasonal trends, but past performance does not guarantee future results. It is important to carefully consider your risk tolerance, financial situation, and trading goals before using any strategy. Always use appropriate risk management and consult with a professional financial advisor if necessary. The use of this strategy does not eliminate the risk of losses, and traders should be prepared for the possibility of losing their entire investment. Be sure to test the strategy on a demo account before applying it in live markets.
ZERO LAG TRADE SIGNALS by BootcampZeroThe ZERO LAG TRADE SIGNALS by BootcampZero indicator is a versatile tool designed to help traders identify optimal entry and exit points for both short-term scalping and long-term trading across multiple time frames. It combines several well-known technical analysis methods, including moving averages, trend analysis, directional indicators, and adaptive trend calculations, to deliver reliable buy and sell signals.
Short-Term Scalping (Under 5-Minute Time Frames)
For short-term traders who prefer quick trades on lower time frames, such as under 5 minutes, this indicator uses a combination of the EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and SMA (Simple Moving Average) to spot fast trend reversals. The indicator is particularly useful for scalpers because it focuses on detecting short-term price momentum by comparing the faster-moving averages with slower ones, triggering signals based on their crossover.
Buy Signals are generated when a fast-moving EMA crosses above a slower-moving SMA, indicating upward momentum.
Sell Signals are triggered when the fast-moving EMA crosses below the slower-moving SMA, signaling potential downward price movement.
In addition, the Adaptive Trend Finder feature dynamically adjusts to recent price deviations and volatility, making it easier for scalpers to spot the prevailing short-term trend with high confidence. The indicator also uses ADX (Average Directional Index) for momentum confirmation, ensuring that signals are only generated during strong price trends, reducing false positives in sideways markets.
Long-Term Trading (Above 1-Day Charts)
When applied to higher time frames such as daily charts or above, this indicator excels in generating reliable long-term buy and sell signals, perfect for swing traders and long-term investors. The Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) and the Ichimoku Cloud are used to assess long-term trends by filtering out market noise and focusing on sustainable price direction.
KAMA helps to adapt the moving average based on market volatility, providing smoother signals that minimize whipsawing in longer-term trades.
Ichimoku Cloud provides additional trend confirmation by identifying whether the market is bullish or bearish based on the relationship between key lines like the Tenkan-Sen (Conversion Line) and Kijun-Sen (Base Line), and how the current price interacts with the Ichimoku Cloud itself.
The indicator also integrates PPO (Percentage Price Oscillator) to capture divergences between price and momentum, further supporting traders in holding positions for extended periods when the signal strength is robust.
Key Technical Values and Factors for Signals
EMA and SMA Crossover: Fast EMA vs. Slow SMA to detect short-term trend reversals.
ADX: Helps gauge the strength of the trend; signals are only generated in trending markets.
KAMA: Filters noise in long-term trends, providing smooth signals based on market volatility.
Ichimoku Cloud: Offers insight into long-term trends and momentum by analyzing price relative to the cloud.
PPO: Detects divergences between price and momentum for trend continuation or reversal signals.
How It Works
Buy signals are generated when bullish conditions are met, and the indicator confirms momentum with ADX, crossover of the EMAs, or a bullish breakout from the Ichimoku Cloud.
Sell signals are triggered when bearish conditions prevail, confirmed by the same factors in reverse, such as a bearish EMA crossover or weakness in ADX.
By combining these powerful tools, ZERO LAG TRADE SIGNALS by BootcampZero offers traders a comprehensive system for both quick scalping trades and more conservative long-term positioning, providing reliable and adaptive signals across different market conditions.
Day Open vs Previous Day CloseThe concept of comparing the **Day Open** to the **Previous Day Close** is used frequently in technical analysis to gauge the sentiment or momentum at the start of a new trading day.
### Key Terms:
- **Day Open**: The first traded price of an asset when the market opens for the day.
- **Previous Day Close**: The last traded price of an asset when the market closed on the previous day.
### Importance of Day Open vs. Previous Day Close
1. **Market Sentiment Indicator**:
- If the **Day Open** is **higher** than the **Previous Day Close**, it suggests **bullish** sentiment (buyers are willing to pay more than yesterday's closing price).
- If the **Day Open** is **lower** than the **Previous Day Close**, it suggests **bearish** sentiment (sellers are driving prices down compared to the last price from the previous day).
2. **Potential Gaps**:
- A **gap** occurs when there is a significant difference between the Day Open and Previous Day Close, often due to events or news released after the market closed. This gap can indicate strong momentum in either direction.
- **Gap Up**: Open > Close (bullish).
- **Gap Down**: Open < Close (bearish).
3. **Trend Continuation or Reversal**:
- If the market opens above the previous day’s close and continues to rise, it often signals a **continuation of an upward trend**.
- Conversely, if the market opens below and keeps falling, it suggests **downward momentum** is still strong.
4. **Trading Strategies**:
- **Opening Range Breakout**: Traders may look for the price to break above or below the opening range (the price range between the Day Open and the first few candles) to confirm a strong bullish or bearish move.
- **Reversals**: Some traders look for price reversals if the price spikes far above or below the previous day's close, expecting that the market might correct itself and return towards the previous day’s closing levels.
In the context of your **Opening Range Indicator**, the concept of the Day Open sweeping and closing above or below the Previous Day Close is used to identify whether the new day is setting up for a **buy (bullish)** or **sell (bearish)** opportunity.
Short-Only Cycle IndicatorThis script is a follow-up to my previous 60-day Cycle, Long-Only Indicator.
The "Short-Only Cycle Indicator" is designed to help traders navigate optimal shorting opportunities by analyzing cyclical price behavior over a defined period. It focuses on recognizing distribution phases (ideal for shorting) and accumulation phases (where shorting should be avoided). It should be used with assets that the trader has an existing thesis for downward price movement.
Key Features:
1. Cycle Length: The indicator uses a 60-day cycle to identify high and low points in price, which are then used to determine the current market phase.
2. Distribution Phase: When the price is near the cycle high, the indicator signals a distribution phase, indicating potential shorting opportunities.
3. Accumulation Phase: When the price is near the cycle low, the indicator signals an accumulation phase, advising traders to avoid shorting.
4. Short Signal: A short signal is triggered when the price crosses below the cycle high, which is visually marked on the chart for easy identification.
This indicator is particularly useful for traders who prefer a short-only strategy, as it helps them time their entries and avoid shorting during unfavorable market conditions.
ICT Judas Swing | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ICT Judas Swing Indicator! This indicator is built around the ICT's "Judas Swing" strategy. The strategy looks for a liquidity grab around NY 9:30 session and a Fair Value Gap for entry confirmation. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new ICT Judas Swing :
Implementation of ICT's Judas Swing Strategy
2 Different TP / SL Methods
Customizable Execution Settings
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The strategy begins by identifying the New York session from 9:30 to 9:45 and marking recent liquidity zones. These liquidity zones are determined by locating high and low pivot points: buyside liquidity zones are identified using high pivots that haven't been invalidated, while sellside liquidity zones are found using low pivots. A break of either buyside or sellside liquidity must occur during the 9:30-9:45 session, which is interpreted as a liquidity grab by smart money. The strategy assumes that after this liquidity grab, the price will reverse and move in the opposite direction. For entry confirmation, a fair value gap (FVG) in the opposite direction of the liquidity grab is required. A buyside liquidity grab calls for a bearish FVG, while a sellside grab requires a bullish FVG. Based on the type of FVG—bullish for buys and bearish for sells—the indicator will then generate a Buy or Sell signal.
After the Buy or Sell signal, the indicator immediately draws the take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) targets. The indicator has three different TP & SL modes, explained in the "Settings" section of this write-up.
You can set up alerts for entry and TP & SL signals, and also check the current performance of the indicator and adjust the settings accordingly to the current ticker using the backtesting dashboard.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator is an all-in-one suit for the ICT's Judas Swing concept. It's capable of plotting the strategy, giving signals, a backtesting dashboard and alerts feature. Different and customizable algorithm modes will help the trader fine-tune the indicator for the asset they are currently trading. Three different TP / SL modes are available to suit your needs. The backtesting dashboard allows you to see how your settings perform in the current ticker. You can also set up alerts to get informed when the strategy is executable for different tickers.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Swing Length -> The swing length for pivot detection. Higher settings will result in
FVG Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal, High or Extreme FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivies resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivies resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
2. TP / SL
TP / SL Method ->
a) Dynamic: The TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the current ticker.
b) Fixed : You can adjust the exact TP / SL ratios from the settings below.
Dynamic Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.
Cumulative Volume Delta with VWAP-based Buy/Sell AlertsDescription:
This script combines Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) with Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) to generate buy and sell signals. It plots both the cumulative volume delta and its moving average on the chart, but the actual buy and sell signals are now based on the crossover and crossunder of the price with the VWAP, a popular tool for tracking price relative to the volume-weighted average over time.
Features:
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Plot:
CVD helps visualize the net buying or selling pressure by accumulating volume when the price is rising and subtracting it when the price is falling. The cumulative volume is plotted on the chart as a blue line.
Moving Average of CVD:
A simple moving average (SMA) of the cumulative volume delta is plotted in orange to smooth out fluctuations and help detect the trend of volume flow.
VWAP Calculation:
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) is a standard benchmark widely used in trading. It gives insight into whether the price is trading above or below the average price at which most of the volume has traded, weighted by volume. The VWAP is plotted as a purple line on the chart.
Buy/Sell Signals Based on VWAP:
Buy Signal: Triggered when the price crosses above the VWAP, indicating potential upward momentum.
Sell Signal: Triggered when the price crosses below the VWAP, signaling potential downward momentum.
These signals are displayed on the chart with clear labels:
Buy Signal: A green upward label appears below the price.
Sell Signal: A red downward label appears above the price.
Alerts for Buy/Sell Conditions:
Alerts are built into the script, so traders can receive notifications when the following conditions are met:
Buy Alert: The price crosses above the VWAP.
Sell Alert: The price crosses below the VWAP.
Use Case:
This script is useful for traders looking to incorporate both volume-based indicators and the VWAP into their trading strategy. The combination of CVD and VWAP provides a more comprehensive view of both price and volume dynamics:
VWAP helps traders understand whether the price is trading above or below its volume-weighted average.
CVD highlights buying or selling pressure through cumulative volume analysis.
Customization:
Anchor Periods: The user can customize the anchor period to suit different timeframes and trading styles.
Custom Alerts: The alert conditions can be easily modified to integrate into any trader’s strategy.
This script can be adapted for both short-term and long-term trading strategies and is especially useful in high-volume markets.
How to Use:
Add the script to your TradingView chart.
Customize the timeframe and anchor period, if needed, to match your preferred trading style.

FVG Channel [LuxAlgo]The FVG Channel indicator displays a channel constructed from the averages of unmitigated historical fair value gaps (FVG), allowing to identify trends and potential reversals in the market.
Users can control the amount of FVGs to consider for the calculation of the channels, as well as their degree of smoothness through user settings.
🔶 USAGE
The FVG Channel is constructed by averaging together recent unmitigated Bullish FVGs (contributing to the creation of the upper bands), and Bearish unmitigated FVGs (contributing to the creation of the lower bands) within a lookback determined by the user. A higher lookback will return longer-term indications from the indicator.
The channel includes 5 bands, with one upper and one lower outer extremities, as well as an inner series of values determined using the Fibonacci ratios (respectively 0.786, 0.5, 0.236) from the channel's outer extremities.
An uptrend can be identified by price holding above the inner upper band (obtained from the 0.786 ratio), this band can also provide occasional support when the price retraces to it while in an uptrend.
Breaking below the inner upper band with an unwillingness to reach above again is a clear sign of hesitation in the market and can be indicative of an upcoming consolidation or reversal.
This can directly be applied to downtrends as well, below are examples displaying both scenarios.
Uptrend Example:
Downtrend Example:
🔹 Breakout Levels
When the price mitigates all FVGs in a single direction except for 1, the indicator will display a "Breakout Level". This is the level that price will need to cross in order for all FVGs in that direction to be mitigated, because of this they can also be aptly called "Last Stand Levels".
These levels can be considered as potential support and resistance levels, however, should always be monitored for breakouts since a substantial push above or below these points would indicate strong momentum.
🔹 Signals
The indicator includes Bullish and Bearish Signals, these signals fire when all FVGs for a single direction have been mitigated and an engulfing candle occurs in the opposite direction. These are reversal signals and should be used alongside other indicators to appropriately manage risk.
Note: When all FVGs in a single direction have been mitigated, the candles will change colors accordingly.
🔶 DETAILS
The script uses a typical identification method for FVGs. Once identified, the script collects and stores the mitigation levels of the respective bullish and bearish FVGs:
For Bullish FVGs this is the bottom of the FVG.
For Bearish FVGs this is the top of the FVG.
The data is managed to only consider a specific amount of FVG mitigation levels, determined by the set "Unmitigated FVG Lookback". If an FVG is mitigated, it frees up a spot in the memory for a new FVG, however, if the memory is full, the oldest will be deleted.
The averages displayed (Channel Upper and Lower) are created from 2 calculation steps, the first step involves taking the raw average of the FVG mitigation levels, and the second step applies a simple moving average (SMA) smoothing of the precedent obtained averages.
Note: To view the mitigation levels average obtained in the first step, the "Smoothing Length" can be set to 1.
🔶 SETTINGS
Unmitigated FVG Lookback: Sets the maximum number of Unmitigated FVG mitigation levels that the script will use to calculate the channel.
Smoothing Length: Sets the smoothing length for the channel to reduce noise from the raw data.
E9 Shark-32 Pattern Strategy The E9 Shark-32 Pattern is a powerful trading tool designed to capitalize on the Shark-32 pattern—a specific Candlestick pattern.
The Shark-32 Pattern: What Is It?
The Shark-32 pattern is a technical formation that occurs when the following conditions are met:
Higher Highs and Lower Lows: The low of two bars ago is lower than the previous bar, and the previous bar's low is lower than the current bar. At the same time, the high of two bars ago is higher than the previous bar, and the previous bar’s high is higher than the current bar.
This unique setup forms the "Shark-32" pattern, which signals potential volume squeezes and trend changes in the market.
How Does the Strategy Work?
The E9 Shark-32 Pattern Strategy builds upon this pattern by defining clear entry and exit rules based on the pattern's confirmation. Here's a breakdown of how the strategy operates:
1. Identifying the Shark-32 Pattern
When the Shark-32 pattern is confirmed, the strategy "locks" the high and low prices from the initial bar of the pattern. These locked prices serve as key levels for future trade entries and exits.
2. Entry Conditions
The strategy waits for the price to cross the pattern's locked high or low, signaling potential market direction.
Long Entry: A long trade is triggered when the closing price crosses above the locked pattern high (green line).
Short Entry: A short trade is triggered when the closing price crosses below the locked pattern low (red line).
The strategy ensures that only one trade is taken for each Shark-32 pattern, preventing overtrading and allowing traders to focus on high-probability setups.
3. Stop Loss and Take Profit Levels
The strategy has built-in risk management through stop-loss and take-profit levels, which are visually represented by the lines on the chart:
Stop Loss:
Stop loss can be adjusted in settings.
Take Profit:
For long trades: The take-profit target is set at the upper white dotted line, which is projected above the pattern high.
For short trades: The take-profit target is set at the lower white dotted line, which is projected below the pattern low.
These clearly defined levels help traders to manage risk effectively while maximizing potential returns.
4. Visual Cues
To make trading decisions even easier, the strategy provides helpful visual cues:
Green Line (Pattern High): This line represents the high of the Shark-32 pattern and serves as a resistance level and short entry signal.
Red Line (Pattern Low): This line represents the low of the Shark-32 pattern and serves as a support level and long entry signal.
White Dotted Lines: These lines represent potential profit targets, projected both above and below the pattern. They help traders define where the market might go next.
Additionally, the strategy highlights the pattern formation with color-coded bars and background shading to draw attention to the Shark-32 pattern when it is confirmed. This adds a layer of visual confirmation, making it easier to spot opportunities in real-time.
5. No Repeated Trades
An important aspect of the strategy is that once a trade is taken (either long or short), no additional trades are executed until a new Shark-32 pattern is identified. This ensures that only valid and confirmed setups are acted upon.

PnF Fibonacci Levels with AlertsMy Pine Script indicator, "PnF Fibonacci Levels with Alerts," overlays on a trading chart to generate alerts based on Fibonacci levels in Point and Figure (PnF) charts.
Key Features:
Inputs and Initialization:
It uses a customizable Fibonacci level (set at 0.236) and initializes variables for tracking the high and low of O and X columns.
O Column Logic:
When the current column is identified as an O column (when the close is less than the open), it calculates the Fibonacci level based on the high and low of that column, drawing a line on the chart.
Buy Alert:
If the closing price of the previous bar is above the Fibonacci level of the O column, a buy alert is triggered.
X Column Logic:
If the current column is an X column and the close is above the previous O column's low, it captures the current high and low, calculates the Fibonacci level, and draws it on the chart.
Sell Alert:
A sell alert is triggered if the closing price of the X column is at or below the specified Fibonacci level.
This indicator aids traders by highlighting critical Fibonacci levels and providing timely alerts for potential buy and sell opportunities.
PnF Bullish & Bearish Trend Line Indicator with Proximity AlertThis Pine Script indicator, "PnF Bullish and Bearish Trend line Proximity Alert," overlays on a trading chart to monitor and alert users about interactions with bullish and bearish trend lines derived from Point and Figure (PnF) charting.
Key Features:
Inputs: Users can set parameters such as box size, bullish and bearish angles (in degrees), and a proximity threshold for detecting touches.
Slope Calculation: The script calculates the slopes for bullish and bearish trendlines using the tangent of the specified angles.
Trendline Management:
It initializes and updates trend lines based on price interactions, adjusting their starting points and positions as conditions change.
Proximity Detection: The indicator checks if the current price is close enough to the trend lines and sets conditions for alerts.
Alerts: Users receive alerts when both trend lines are touched, enhancing decision-making for trading strategies.
Visual Feedback: It highlights areas where both trend lines are touched and plots the trend lines in distinct colors for clarity.
This indicator provides an effective way to track key price levels and potential trend reversals in the market.
Bullish On Neck Candlestick patternExplanation:
1. Bullish Large Candle: The first candle is defined as bullish, where the closing price is much higher than the opening price. It also needs to have a large body (at least 60% of the total candle height).
2. Small Bearish Candle: The second candle is bearish and closes near the high of the previous bullish candle, with a relatively small body.
3. Bullish On Neck Detection: The script looks for this pattern where the bullish large candle is followed by a smaller bearish candle that closes near the first candle's high, indicating potential for a bullish breakout.
4. Plot: When the pattern is detected, the script places a green triangle above the bar to signal the bullish on neck pattern.
Prometheus Topological Persistent EntropyPersistence Entropy falls under the branch of math topology. Topology is a study of shapes as they twist and contort. It can be useful in the context of markets to determine how volatile they may be and different from the past.
The key idea is to create a persistence diagram from these log return segments. The persistence diagram tracks the "birth" and "death" of price features:
A birth occurs when a new price pattern or feature emerges in the data.
A death occurs when that pattern disappears.
By comparing prices within each segment, the script tracks how long specific price features persist before they die out. The lifetime of each feature (difference between death and birth) represents how robust or fleeting the pattern is. Persistent price features tend to reflect stable trends, while shorter-lived features indicate volatility.
Entropy Calculation: The lifetimes of these patterns are then used to compute the entropy of the system. Entropy, in this case, measures the amount of disorder or randomness in the price movements. The more varied the lifetimes, the higher the entropy, indicating a more volatile market. If the price patterns exhibit longer, more consistent lifetimes, the entropy is lower, signaling a more stable market.
Calculation:
We start by getting log returns for a user defined look back value. In the compute_persistent_entropy function we separate the overall log returns into windows. We then compute persistence diagrams of the windows. It tracks the birth and death of price patterns to see how persistent they are. Then we calculate the entropy of the windows.
After we go through that process we get an array of entropies, we then smooth it by taking the sum of all of them and dividing it by how many we have so the indicator can function better.
// Calculate log returns
log_returns = array.new()
for i = 1 to lgr_lkb
array.push(log_returns, math.log(close / close ))
// Function to compute a simplified persistence diagram
compute_persistence_diagram(segment) =>
n = array.size(segment)
lifetimes = array.new()
for i = 0 to n - 1
for j = i + 1 to n - 1
birth = array.get(segment, i)
death = array.get(segment, j-1)
if birth != death
array.push(lifetimes, math.abs(death - birth))
lifetimes
// Function to compute entropy of a list of values
compute_entropy(values) =>
n = array.size(values)
if n == 0
0.0
else
freq_map = map.new()
total_sum = 0.0
for i = 0 to n - 1
value = array.get(values, i)
//freq_map := freq_map.get(value, 0.0) + 1
map.put(freq_map, value, value + 1)
total_sum += 1
entropy = 0.0
for in freq_map
p = count / total_sum
entropy -= p * math.log(p)
entropy
compute_persistent_entropy(log_returns, window_size) =>
n = (lgr_lkb) - (2 * window_size) + 1
entropies = array.new()
for i = 0 to n - 1
segment1 = array.new()
segment2 = array.new()
for j = 0 to window_size - 1
array.push(segment1, array.get(log_returns, i + j))
array.push(segment2, array.get(log_returns, i + window_size + j))
dgm1 = compute_persistence_diagram(segment1)
dgm2 = compute_persistence_diagram(segment2)
combined_diagram = array.concat(dgm1, dgm2)
entropy = compute_entropy(combined_diagram)
array.push(entropies, entropy)
entropies
//---------------------------------------------
//---------------PE----------------------------
//---------------------------------------------
// Calculate Persistent Entropy
entropies = compute_persistent_entropy(log_returns, window_size)
smooth_pe = array.sum(entropies) / array.size(entropies)
This image illustrates how the indicator works for traders. The purple line is the actual indicator value. The line that changes from green to red is a SMA of the indicator value, we use this to determine bullish or bearish. When the smoothed persistence entropy is above it’s SMA that signals bearishness.
The indicator tends to look prettier on higher time frames, we see NASDAQ:TSLA on a 4 hour here and below we see it on the 5 minute.
On a lower time frame it looks a little weird but still functions the same way.
Prometheus encourages users to use indicators as tools along with their own discretion. No indicator is 100% accurate. We encourage comments about requested features and criticism.
