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.

FXN1 The ForecasterIndicator Name: FXN1 The Forecaster
The FXN1 The Forecaster is a versatile and powerful seasonality-based indicator designed to analyze historical price patterns over different customizable timeframes. By identifying repeating price behaviors, the indicator helps traders anticipate future market movements based on the cyclical nature of asset prices. This indicator is particularly useful for those looking to predict seasonal trends and plot future price projections based on historical data.
Key Features:
Customizable Lookback Periods:
The indicator allows users to choose between 5, 10, or 15-year historical lookback periods to assess long-term price trends.
The default setting is a 10-year lookback period, but users can toggle between the options to see different historical behaviors.
By analyzing these different timeframes, traders can compare how price patterns have evolved over the past 5, 10, or 15 years, providing multiple perspectives on potential seasonal trends.
Seasonality-Based Forecasting:
The indicator generates a seasonality chart by calculating the average price movements for each trading day, week, or month within the selected lookback period.
These averages are plotted as lines that extend into the future (using a default forecast of 150 bars), offering a visualization of potential future price behavior based on historical trends.
This provides traders with a visual forecast that helps in anticipating potential future highs and lows, key reversal points, or trend continuations.
Automatic Line Drawing for Highs and Lows:
The indicator automatically detects and marks the highest and lowest points of the selected lookback period by drawing two lines:
A red line from the highest point in the past, indicating the historical peak of price behavior within the lookback period.
A green line from the lowest point in the past, indicating the historical trough or lowest price level.
These lines offer clear visual reference points for significant historical support and resistance levels.
Visual Customization:
The indicator provides the ability to change the color of the seasonal line for easy visual distinction. The default color is light gray, but this can be modified to suit individual preferences.
The line width is set to 2 by default, and this setting is hidden from the menu to keep the interface clean and focused on essential options.
The historical seasonality lines are drawn with customizable width and colors, providing a clean and informative visual on the chart without overwhelming the trader.
How It Works:
Step 1: Select the desired historical lookback period (5, 10, or 15 years). This will define the number of years of historical data to use in calculating seasonal price movements.
Step 2: The indicator collects and averages the price movements from each day, week, or month within the selected lookback period.
Step 3: The indicator draws the seasonality line by connecting the averaged price movements over time.
Step 4: Based on the historical data, the indicator extends a forecast line 150 bars into the future, offering traders a visual guide on what the future price action may look like.
Seasonal Trend Prediction:
The indicator is ideal for traders looking to identify seasonal trends in an asset’s price action. For example, commodities like oil, agricultural products, or indices often exhibit strong seasonal tendencies, which this tool can help pinpoint.
Forecasting Future Price Action:
By extrapolating past data into the future, traders can forecast potential future price highs and lows and identify opportunities to enter or exit positions.
Comparing Multiple Timeframes:
The ability to switch between 5, 10, and 15-year lookback periods allows traders to compare different timeframes and see how price trends have evolved over time. This helps in developing more comprehensive trade strategies by factoring in longer-term historical data.
Customization Options:
Lookback Period Selection: Choose between 5, 10 (default), and 15 years for historical data analysis.
Color Customization : Modify the color of the forecasted seasonal lines for better visual clarity.
Conclusion:
The FXN1 The Forecaster is a unique and customizable seasonality indicator designed for traders who want to incorporate long-term historical price patterns into their trading strategies. It provides clear insights into seasonal trends, key historical price levels, and potential future price movements. Whether you're a swing trader looking for cyclical patterns or a long-term investor seeking to understand broader price behavior, this tool offers a robust solution for analyzing market seasonality.
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.

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.
SMC Liquidity ZonesThis script implements a "Smart Money Concept (SMC) Liquidity Zones" indicator in Pine Script™ for TradingView. It helps identify key liquidity zones, detect potential order blocks, and highlight market structure breaks. The script is designed for traders who use liquidity concepts and order blocks to make informed trading decisions based on price action.
1. Indicator Overview:
The "SMC Liquidity Zones" indicator plots areas of high and low liquidity and detects potential order blocks after price breaks these zones. It also highlights market structure shifts when price moves past the liquidity zones, allowing traders to identify potential areas of price reversal or continuation.
2. Key Features:
Liquidity Zones:
Liquidity zones are regions where price is likely to experience strong reactions due to resting orders (buy or sell).
The script identifies these zones by looking for pivot highs and pivot lows using a customizable lookback period.
High Liquidity Zone: Found at pivot highs, indicating a potential zone of sell-side liquidity (where sellers may overwhelm buyers).
Low Liquidity Zone: Found at pivot lows, indicating a potential buy-side liquidity zone (where buyers may absorb selling pressure).
Order Blocks Detection:
After a liquidity zone is broken, the script marks an order block.
Order Block: An area where institutional traders (smart money) might have placed large orders, and price is expected to return to this area for liquidity.
When the price closes above the high liquidity zone, the previous high is assumed to form the order block high, while the closing price forms the order block low.
Similarly, when price closes below the low liquidity zone, the previous low is assumed to form the order block low, and the closing price forms the order block high.
Market Structure Breaks:
Bullish Market Structure Break: Occurs when price closes above the high liquidity zone, potentially signaling an upward trend.
Bearish Market Structure Break: Occurs when price closes below the low liquidity zone, signaling a potential downward trend.
The script highlights these breaks by changing the chart’s background color to green for bullish structure and red for bearish structure.
Customizable Settings:
Pivot Lookback Period: You can set the lookback period to adjust how the indicator identifies pivot highs and lows.
Visibility of Liquidity Zones and Order Blocks: The script provides options to toggle the display of liquidity zones and order blocks on or off, allowing traders to customize the chart view.
3. Code Structure:
Liquidity Zones Identification:
The script uses the ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions to detect pivot points over a customizable lookback period.
These pivots mark significant areas of price where liquidity might rest, and the zones are displayed using dashed lines—red for high liquidity and green for low liquidity.
Order Block Logic:
When price breaks through a liquidity zone (either above or below), the script marks an order block. This block is a potential area where price could return, creating opportunities for entries or exits.
The order block is visualized as a blue box on the chart, indicating areas where smart money may have positioned their orders.
Market Structure Break Highlights:
The background color changes based on whether the market has broken into a bullish or bearish structure:
Bullish Market Structure: Green background.
Bearish Market Structure: Red background.
This visual cue helps traders quickly assess market sentiment and potential future price direction.
4. Use Case:
This indicator is particularly suited for traders following Smart Money Concepts (SMC), liquidity-based trading, or order block strategies. It helps them:
Identify potential price reaction zones (liquidity zones).
Spot order blocks, which are areas where institutional traders are likely to have placed large orders.
Recognize market structure shifts, signaling potential trend reversals or continuations.
Highlight trading opportunities based on liquidity breaks and market structure changes.

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.
Multi Timeframe Breakout/Retest (Gap, FVG, B&R)📊 Breakout & Retest Multi-Timeframe Indicator - Support and Resistance Indicator 📊
In short, this indicator scans 4 timeframes of your choice to check if a proper breakout of your support and resistance lines you input has happened. It color-coats your support and resistance levels based on the type of breakout, labels the levels, and shows which timeframes have had a proper breakout in an interactive table. This tool is primarily used to determine when a breakout—whether Fair Value Gap (FVG), gap, or regular—has occurred, allowing you to confidently play the retest.
🔍 Types of Breakouts:
This indicator highlights three types of breakouts:
Regular Breakouts: Defined when a candle breaks above or below your level, then closes, and the next candle’s wick does not touch that level.
Gap Breakouts: A gap breakout occurs when we gap above or below the level—often happening on daily candle opens and closes.
FVG Breakouts: An FVG breakout happens when a breakout above or below your level forms a Fair Value Gap, with your level inside the gap. These breakouts tend to have stronger retests
📋 Interactive Table
The table helps you visualize which levels are experiencing a breakout and on which timeframes. It color-codes each level based on breakout activity:
🔴 Red: No active breakouts
🟢 Green: Active regular breakout
🔵 Blue: Active FVG breakout
🟡 Yellow: Active gap breakout
🎨 Color Coating & Minimum Timeframe Breakouts
To make sure you're playing a true breakout, you want confirmation on at least 3 of your chosen timeframes. This indicator has an adjustable "active minimum breakout" setting, which can be customized between 1 and 4 timeframes. I personally find that when a breakout occurs on at least 3 timeframes, the retest tends to have a higher success rate. But you can adjust this setting based on your strategy.

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.
CRT Trades (turtle soup, A-M-D ranges with inside bars)CRT means Candle Range Theory. Every single candle is a range, on every single timeframe. Ranges may be either manipulated - turtle souped or broken - engulfed - closed above/below and retested.
CRT is usually presented as a 3 candle model. However it may consist of more than 3 candles due to inside bars. Inside bar is the candle where high is not higher then previous candle high and low is not lower then previous candle low.
First candle represents accumulation (may consist of more candles - inside bars), second candle represents manipulation (turtle soup) and third candle represents distribution. The abbreviation for that is A-M-D.
In accumulation the range with specific high and low is created. In manipulation (turtle soup) the high or low of the range is manipulated - liquidity taken and price should usually reverse back to the range. In distribution price is reversing back to the opposite side of the range. On higher timeframe it looks like manipulation candle wick is higher/lower than previous range high/low (may consist of 1 or more inside bar candles) but the body must not close above/below previous range high/low. Otherwise it is not manipulation (turtle soup) most likely and price should continue in direction of the candle close. Distribution candle should touch opposite side of range and it is mostly heavy and fast candle.
CRT model can be found on higher timeframe (e.g. 4h) and entries can be found on lower timeframe (e.g. 15m). You always use only lower timeframe on your chart because CRT model on the higher timeframe is shown on the lower one and also you can plan entries on the lower timeframe. You are able to change CRT model higher timeframe in the indicator settings.
There are two types of entries:
simple - wait for manipulation candle to close on higher timeframe (HTF) and then enter on lower timeframe (LTF) above open of the distribution candle on HTF if it is short or on LTF below open of the distribution candle on HTF if it is long. These entries can be done by market order.
advanced - wait for the break of previous range high/low and enter by limit order when price reverses back to the range and retraces to the order block or fair value gap created by the breaker candle.
Stop loss can be placed above/below of the top/bottom created by manipulation candle. First take profit should be placed in 1/2 of the accumulation range and second take profit should be placed at the opposite range of accumulation range.
It is possible to filter only particular accumulation (range) and manipulation (turtle soup) candles depending also on timezone set in the settings. For example on 4h CRT model if you fill input "indices" for section "range" like 1,2 and input "indices" for section "turtle soup" like 3,4 then you are awaiting the range to form during asia session and manipulation during london session if the timezone is somewhere around "UTC+2".
Dotted lines represent turtle soup of previous range and solid lines represent engulfing candle of the breaker candle on lower timeframe. When the engulfing is closed you can look for entries either by market order after closing or by limit order when the price retraces to order block (created by breaker candle) or fair value gap (created by engulfing).
Recommendations for combining lower (entries) and higher (crt model) timeframes:
1D CRT model => 1h entries,
4h CRT model => 15m entries,
1h CRT model => 5m entries,
15m CRT model => 1m entries.
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.
Watch for Buy/Sell signals based on price crossing the VWAP.
Set up alerts to receive notifications when Buy or Sell signals are triggered.
This script is designed to help traders make informed decisions based on both price action relative to volume and Cumulative Delta volume trends, giving a more comprehensive view of the market dynamics.
