Flags With Measured Move [QuantVue]Flags with Measured Moves is a technical analysis tool that identifies bull flags and provides a measured move target.
A bull flag is a continuation pattern that occurs within the context of a general uptrend. It represents a pause or small consolidation before the price resumes its upward movement.
A bull flag consists of two sections: the flagpole and the flag.
The flagpole is the initial upward movement that occurs before the flag forms.
The flag forms as the price consolidates after the initial uptrend. During this phase, the price tends to drift downward or sideways, ideally with declining volume.
Once the flag has put in a low, the initial range of thrust is added to the flag low to form the measured move target.
Every element of the flag is customizable by the trader, including the size and length of the prior uptrend and the minimum and maximum flag depth and length.
The indicator also includes alerts for when new flags are formed, when a breakout from the flag occurs, and when the measured move target is reached.
By default, the indicator settings are set for use on a daily timeframe. If using the indicator on an intraday timeframe, you will need to adjust the settings.
Give this indicator a BOOST and COMMENT your thoughts!
We hope you enjoy.

FLAG
Flag DetectorThis script attempts to find consolidations or retracements within the context of a previous uptrend - basically looking for flag type patterns. It first measures an initial move (referred to as the flag pole in this script) and then looks for consolidation after that move within a certain range. If the consolidation is within the rage, it plots a dot under the candle to show you the consolidation areas. It's not fool proof, but seems to do a decent job of identifying pullbacks and sideways consolidations reasonably well.

Flagging BandsIntroduction
A pun between the word flag and the adjective flagging (less dynamic) , this indicator have two bands who react faster when in contact to the price. Imagine you are under sheets, if you abruptly rise, the sheets will instantaneously go up, then if you abruptly get down, the sheets will fall slowly until being in contact with a surface, this is because of a type of friction called drag or air resistance , this force is described in fluid dynamics and i inspired myself from that for the creation of the indicator.
The indicator
The indicator is made of two bands, one upper band and one lower band, then a weighted average of each bands, this average is weighted depending on which band the price is closer. The length control the period of the indicator, in general higher lengths will create wider bands, you must consider that this parameter behave differently than other ones and may create slower results in comparison with other bands indicators while having the same length period.
The indicator can use a simple breakout methodology (see trailing stop part) but can sometime provide support and resistance points, in fact i believe that when the average variability/volatility of band A is higher than the average variability/volatility of band B and that the price cross band B then price will reverse its direction, this claim is not justified, research is needed.
Trailing Stop Mod
It is possible to make the indicator act as a trailing stop, in order to do so just tick the trailing stop mod box.
The average/bands will automatically disappear being replaced by the trailing stop.
Conclusion
I was just playing around when making the skeleton of the indicator, i hope the code is easy to understand, if you need some kind of explanation just pm me, i'm always open to help people/receive suggestions.
Best Regards
