Harmonic Patterns
Alternate Bat Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] ALT Bat Indicator🔵 Introduction
The Alternate Bat harmonic pattern is one of the most precise and practical tools in technical analysis, introduced by Scott Carney in 2003. This pattern focuses on specific Fibonacci ratios, such as 0.382 at point B and 1.13XA at point D, to identify Potential Reversal Zones (PRZ) where price is likely to reverse.
The Alternative Bat pattern emerged as a result of repeated failures observed in the standard Bat pattern. Traders entering trades near the 0.886XA level of the standard Bat often encountered losses. In the Alternate Bat, point D extends beyond 0.886XA, typically reversing at 1.13XA, offering a more accurate identification of the reversal zone.
A key characteristic of this pattern is its M- or W-shaped structure, where the midpoint B retraces 0.382XA or less. Additionally, the CD leg requires an extension of 2.0 to 3.618 to complete the pattern. Due to its accuracy and the predictable behavior of price near the PRZ, the Alternate Bat pattern is recognized as a powerful tool for forecasting price reversals.
In the bullish Alternative Bat pattern, an M-shaped structure forms. After an initial upward movement (XA), price undergoes a short correction at point B (0.382XA) and then declines toward point D (1.13XA and an extension of 2.0 to 3.618BC), where a potential upward reversal is expected.
In the bearish Alternate Bat pattern, a W-shaped structure forms. After an initial downward movement (XA), price retraces slightly at point B (0.382XA) and then rises toward point D (1.13XA and an extension of 2.0 to 3.618BC), where a potential downward reversal is anticipated.
🔵 How to Use
The Alternate Bat harmonic pattern is a key tool for identifying potential reversal zones (PRZ) in the market. By leveraging the 0.382 retracement at point B and the 1.13XA extension at point D, along with symmetrical price structures, this pattern offers precise reversal opportunities in both bullish and bearish market conditions.
🟣 Bullish Alternate Bat Pattern
The bullish Alternate Bat pattern forms during a downtrend, signaling a potential reversal to the upside. This pattern consists of three downward movements with two corrective waves, ultimately reaching point D, which marks the PRZ.
At the PRZ, the convergence of Fibonacci levels—1.13XA and extensions ranging from 2.0 to 3.618BC—creates a strong support zone where price is likely to reverse upward.
🟣 Bearish Alternative Bat Pattern
The bearish Alternate Bat pattern develops during an uptrend, indicating a potential reversal to the downside. This pattern features three upward price movements with two retracements, ending at point D, where the PRZ forms.
Point D is defined by the 1.13XA extension and the 2.0 to 3.618BC projection, creating a strong resistance zone where price is expected to reverse downward.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Logical Setting
ZigZag Pivot Period : You can adjust the period so that the harmonic patterns are adjusted according to the pivot period you want. This factor is the most important parameter in pattern recognition.
Show Valid Format : If this parameter is on "On" mode, only patterns will be displayed that they have exact format and no noise can be seen in them. If "Off" is, the patterns displayed that maybe are noisy and do not exactly correspond to the original pattern.
Show Formation Last Pivot Confirm : if Turned on, you can see this ability of patterns when their last pivot is formed. If this feature is off, it will see the patterns as soon as they are formed. The advantage of this option being clear is less formation of fielded patterns, and it is accompanied by the latest pattern seeing and a sharp reduction in reward to risk.
Period of Formation Last Pivot : Using this parameter you can determine that the last pivot is based on Pivot period.
🟣 Genaral Setting
Show : Enter "On" to display the template and "Off" to not display the template.
Color : Enter the desired color to draw the pattern in this parameter.
LineWidth : You can enter the number 1 or numbers higher than one to adjust the thickness of the drawing lines. This number must be an integer and increases with increasing thickness.
LabelSize : You can adjust the size of the labels by using the "size.auto", "size.tiny", "size.smal", "size.normal", "size.large" or "size.huge" entries.
🟣 Alert Setting
Alert : On / Off
Message Frequency : This string parameter defines the announcement frequency. Choices include: "All" (activates the alert every time the function is called), "Once Per Bar" (activates the alert only on the first call within the bar), and "Once Per Bar Close" (the alert is activated only by a call at the last script execution of the real-time bar upon closing). The default setting is "Once per Bar".
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : The date, hour, and minute you receive in alert messages can be based on any time zone you choose. For example, if you want New York time, you should enter "UTC-4". This input is set to the time zone "UTC" by default.
🔵 Conclusion
The Alternate Bat harmonic pattern, with its precise Fibonacci ratios like 0.382 and 1.13XA, is a reliable tool for identifying Potential Reversal Zones (PRZ) in financial markets. By recognizing symmetrical price structures and focusing on both bullish and bearish scenarios, traders can identify optimal entry and exit points with high accuracy.
The key strength of this pattern lies in its ability to define strong support and resistance zones near the PRZ, increasing the probability of price reversals. Combining the pattern with candlestick confirmations and volume analysis enhances its effectiveness.
Ultimately, incorporating the Alternative Bat pattern with proper risk management and Fibonacci-based targets allows traders to enter the market confidently and capitalize on potential price reversals.
Liquidity IndicatorThe Liquidity Indicator helps identify key price levels where liquidity may be concentrated by highlighting local highs and local lows on the chart. These levels are calculated using a lookback period to determine the highest and lowest points in the recent price action.
Local Highs: Displayed as red lines, these indicate recent peaks where price has experienced rejection or a possible reversal point.
Local Lows: Displayed as green lines, these represent recent troughs where price may find support or experience a bounce.
This indicator is useful for spotting potential areas of interest for price reversal or continuation, as high liquidity zones may lead to more significant price movements.
Key Features:
Adjustable lookback period to define the scope for identifying local highs and lows.
Continuous plotting without any time restrictions, providing real-time insights into liquidity conditions.
Alerts available for when a local high or local low is detected, enabling timely market analysis.

Harmonic Pattern Detector (75 patterns)Harmonic Pattern Detector offers a record amount of "Harmonic Patterns" in one script, with 75 different patterns detected, together with up to 99 different swing lengths.
🔶 USAGE
Harmonic Patterns are detected from several different ZigZag lines, derived from Swings with different lengths (shorter - longer term)
Depending on the settings ' Minimum/Maximum Swing Length ', the user will see more or less patterns from shorter and/or longer-term swing points.
🔹 Fibonacci Ratio
Certain patterns have only one ratio for a specific retrace/extension instead of one upper and one lower limit. In this case, we add a ' Tolerance ', which adds a percentage tolerance below/above the ratio, creating two limits.
A higher number may show more patterns but may become less valid.
Hoovering over points B, C, and D will show a tooltip with the concerning limits; adjusted limits will be seen if applicable.
Tooltips in settings will also show which patterns the Fibonacci Ratio applies to.
🔹 Triangle Area Ratio
Using Heron's formula , the triangle area is calculated after the X-Y axis is normalized.
Users can filter patterns based on the ratio of the smallest triangle to the largest triangle.
A lower Triangle Area Ratio number leads to more symmetrical patterns but may appear less frequently.
🔶 DETAILS
Harmonic patterns are based on geometric patterns, where the retracement/extension of a swing point must be located between specific Fibonacci ratios of the previous swing/leg. Different Harmonic Patterns require unique ratios to become valid patterns.
In the above example there is a valid 'Max Butterfly' pattern where:
Point B is located between 0.618 - 0.886 retracement level of the X-A leg
Point C is located between 0.382 - 0.886 retracement level of the A-B leg
Point D is located between 1.272 - 2.618 extension level of the B-C leg
Point D is located between 1.272 - 1.618 extension level of the X-A leg
Harmonic Pattern Detector uses ZigZag lines, where swing highs and swing lows alternate. Each ZigZag line is checked for valid Harmonic Patterns . When multiple types of Harmonic Patterns are valid for the same sequence, the pattern will be named after the first one found.
Different swing lengths form different ZigZag lines.
By evaluating different ZigZag lines (up to 99!), shorter—and longer-term patterns can be drawn on the same chart.
🔹 Blocks
The patterns are organized into blocks that can be toggled on or off with a single click.
When a block is enabled, the user can still select which specific patterns within that block are enabled or disabled.
🔹 Visuals
Besides color settings, labels can show pattern names or arrows at point D of the pattern.
Note this will happen 1 bar after validation because one extra bar is needed for confirmation.
An option is included to show only arrows without the patterns.
🔹 Updated Patterns
When a Swing Low is followed by a lower low or a Swing High followed by a higher high , triggering a pattern identical to a previous one except with a different point D, the pattern will be updated. The previous C-D line will be visible as a dashed line to highlight the event. Only the last dashed line is shown when this happens more than once.
🔹 Optimization
The script only verifies the last leg in the initial phase, significantly reducing the time spent on pattern validation. If this leg doesn't align with a potential Harmonic Pattern , the pattern is immediately disregarded. In the subsequent phase, the remaining patterns are quickly scrutinized to ensure the next leg is valid. This efficient process continues, with only valid patterns progressing to the next phase until all sequences have been thoroughly examined.
This process can check up to 99 ZigZag lines for 75 different Harmonic Patterns , showcasing its high capacity and versatility.
🔹 Ratios
The following table shows the different ratios used for each Harmonic Pattern .
' min ' and ' max ' are used when only one limit is provided instead of 2. This limit is given a percentage tolerance above and below, customizable by the setting ' Tolerance - Fibonacci Ratio '.
For example a ratio of 0.618 with a tolerance of 1% would result in:
an upper limit of 0.624
a lower limit of 0.612

3 Drive Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Three Drive Reversal🔵 Introduction
The Three Drive harmonic pattern closely resembles other price structures such as Wedge Pattern and Three Push Pattern, yet it stands out due to its precise use of Fibonacci ratios and symmetrical price movements.
This pattern comprises three consecutive and symmetrical price drives, each validated by key Fibonacci ratios (1.27 and 1.618), which help identify critical Potential Reversal Zones (PRZ).
Unlike the Wedge, which relies on converging trend lines and can indicate either continuation or reversal, and the Three Push, which lacks defined Fibonacci ratios and symmetry, the Three Drive pattern defines PRZ with greater accuracy, providing traders with high-probability trading opportunities.
This pattern appears in both bullish and bearish trends. After the completion of the third drive (Drive 3), it signals the market's readiness to reverse direction. The PRZ in this pattern serves as a crucial zone where price is highly likely to reverse, offering a strategic point for entering or exiting trades. Professional traders utilize the Three Drive pattern and PRZ as essential tools for analyzing and capitalizing on potential market reversals.

🔵 How to Use
The Three Drive harmonic pattern is an effective tool for identifying potential reversal points in the market. By utilizing Fibonacci extension levels (1.27 and 1.618) and focusing on the pattern’s symmetry, traders can pinpoint Potential Reversal Zones (PRZ) where the price is likely to change direction. This pattern works in both bearish and bullish scenarios, each with distinct characteristics and trading opportunities.
🟣 Bullish Three Drive Pattern
The bullish Three Drive pattern develops during a downtrend, indicating a potential reversal to the upside. Similar to its bearish counterpart, this pattern features three consecutive downward price movements (drives) with retracements in between. The third drive concludes within the PRZ, which serves as a strong support zone where the price is expected to reverse upwards.
The first drive begins with a downward movement, followed by a retracement to the 0.618 Fibonacci level. The second drive continues downward to reach a 1.27 or 1.618 Fibonacci extension of the retracement. Finally, the third drive aligns with the PRZ, where a confluence of Fibonacci levels creates a high-probability support zone.
In the PRZ, traders look for bullish confirmation signals such as bullish candlestick patterns (e.g., bullish engulfing or pin bars) or increasing trading volume. Once confirmation is observed, the PRZ becomes an ideal entry point for a buy position. Stop-loss orders are placed slightly below the PRZ to minimize risk, while take-profit targets are set at key resistance levels or Fibonacci retracement levels.
🟣 Bearish Three Drive Pattern
The bearish Three Drive pattern forms during an uptrend, signaling a potential reversal to the downside. This pattern consists of three consecutive upward price movements (drives) and intermediate retracements. Each drive aligns with Fibonacci extension levels, and the third drive ends within the PRZ, indicating a high probability of a bearish reversal.
In the first drive, the price moves upward and then retraces to approximately the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level, forming the base for the second drive. The second drive then extends upward to the 1.27 or 1.618 Fibonacci extension of the preceding retracement. This process repeats for the third drive, which reaches the PRZ, typically defined by the convergence of Fibonacci levels from previous drives.
Once the PRZ is identified, traders look for confirmation signals such as bearish candlestick patterns (e.g., bearish engulfing or pin bars) or declining trading volume. If confirmation is present, the PRZ becomes an optimal zone for entering a sell position. Stop-loss levels are typically placed slightly above the PRZ to protect against pattern failure, and take-profit targets are set at key support levels or Fibonacci retracement levels of the overall structure.
🟣 Three Drive Vs Wedge Pattern Vs 3 Push pattern
The Three Drive, Wedge, and Three Push patterns are all used to identify potential price reversal points, but they differ significantly in structure and application. The Three Drive pattern is based on three consecutive and symmetrical price movements, validated by precise Fibonacci ratios (1.27 and 1.618), to define Potential Reversal Zones (PRZ).
In contrast, the Wedge pattern relies on converging trend lines and does not require Fibonacci ratios; it can act as either a reversal or continuation pattern. Meanwhile, the Three Push pattern shares similarities with Three Drive but lacks precise symmetry and Fibonacci-based validation.
Instead of a PRZ, Three Push focuses on identifying areas of support and resistance, often signaling weakening momentum in the current trend. Among these, the Three Drive pattern is more reliable for pinpointing high-probability reversal zones due to its strict Fibonacci-based and symmetrical structure.

ABCD Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] ABCD Pattern indicator🔵 Introduction
The ABCD harmonic pattern is a tool for identifying potential reversal zones (PRZ) by using Fibonacci ratios to pinpoint critical price reversal points on price charts.
This pattern consists of four key points, labeled A, B, C, and D. In this structure, the AB and CD waves move in the same direction, while the BC wave acts as a corrective wave in the opposite direction.
The ABCD pattern follows specific Fibonacci ratios that enhance its accuracy in identifying PRZ. Typically, point C lies within the 0.382 to 0.886 Fibonacci retracement of the AB wave, indicating the correction extent of the BC wave.
Subsequently, the CD wave, as the final wave in this pattern, reaches point D with a Fibonacci extension between 1.13 and 2.618 of the BC wave. Point D, which marks the PRZ, is where a potential price reversal is likely to occur.
The ABCD pattern appears in both bullish and bearish forms. In the bullish ABCD pattern, prices tend to increase at point D, which defines the PRZ; in the bearish ABCD pattern, prices typically decrease upon reaching the PRZ at point D.
These characteristics make the ABCD pattern a popular tool for identifying PRZ and price reversal points in financial markets, including forex, cryptocurrencies, and stocks.

🔵 How to Use
🟣 Bullish ABCD Pattern
The bullish ABCD pattern is another harmonic structure used to identify a potential reversal zone (PRZ) where the price is likely to rise after a downward movement. This pattern includes four main points A, B, C, and D. In the bullish ABCD, the AB and CD waves move downward, and the BC wave acts as a corrective, upward wave. This setup creates a PRZ at point D, where the price may reverse and move upward.
To identify a bullish ABCD pattern, begin with the downward AB wave. The BC wave retraces upward between 0.382 and 0.886 of the AB wave, indicating the extent of the correction.
After the BC retracement, the CD wave forms and extends from point C down to point D, with an extension of around 1.13 to 2.618 of the BC wave. Point D, as the PRZ, represents the area where the price may reverse upwards, making it a strategic level for potential buy positions.
When the price reaches point D in the bullish ABCD pattern, traders look for upward reversal signals. This can include bullish candlestick formations, such as hammer or morning star patterns, near the PRZ to confirm the trend reversal. Entering a long position after confirmation near point D provides a calculated entry point.
Additionally, placing a stop loss slightly below point D helps protect against potential loss if the reversal does not occur. The ABCD pattern, with its precise Fibonacci structure and PRZ identification, gives traders a disciplined approach to spotting bullish reversals in markets, particularly in forex, cryptocurrency, and stock trading.

🟣 Bearish ABCD Pattern
The bearish ABCD pattern is a harmonic structure that indicates a potential reversal zone (PRZ) where price may shift downward after an initial upward movement. This pattern consists of four main points A, B, C, and D. In a bearish ABCD, the AB and CD waves move upward, while the BC wave acts as a corrective wave in the opposite, downward direction. This reversal zone (PRZ) can be identified with specific Fibonacci ratios.
To identify a bearish ABCD pattern, start by observing the AB wave, which forms as an upward price movement. The BC wave, which follows, typically retraces between 0.382 to 0.886 of the AB wave. This retracement indicates how far the correction goes and sets the foundation for the next wave.
Finally, the CD wave extends from point C to reach point D with a Fibonacci extension of approximately 1.13 to 2.618 of the BC wave. Point D represents the PRZ where the potential reversal may occur, making it a critical area for traders to consider short positions.
Once point D in the bearish ABCD pattern is reached, traders can anticipate a downward price movement. At this potential reversal zone (PRZ), traders often wait for additional bearish signals or candlestick patterns, such as engulfing or evening star formations, to confirm the price reversal.
This confirmation around the PRZ enhances the accuracy of the entry point for a bearish position. Setting a stop loss slightly above point D can help manage risk if the price doesn’t reverse as anticipated. The ABCD pattern, with its reliance on Fibonacci ratios and clearly defined points, offers a strategic approach for traders looking to capitalize on potential bearish reversals in financial markets, including forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies.

🟣 Conclusion
The ABCD harmonic pattern offers a structured approach in technical analysis, helping traders accurately identify potential reversal zones (PRZ) where price movements may shift direction. By leveraging the relationships between points A, B, C, and D, alongside specific Fibonacci ratios, traders can better anticipate points of market reversal and make more informed decisions.
Both the bearish and bullish ABCD patterns enable traders to pinpoint ideal entry points that align with anticipated market shifts. In a bearish ABCD, point D within the PRZ often signals a downward trend reversal, while in a bullish ABCD, this same point typically suggests an upward reversal. The adaptability of the ABCD pattern across different markets, such as forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies, further highlights its utility and reliability.
Integrating the ABCD pattern into a trading strategy provides a methodical and calculated approach to entry and exit decisions. With accurate application of Fibonacci ratios and confirmation of the PRZ, traders can enhance their trading precision, reduce risks, and boost overall performance. The ABCD harmonic pattern remains a valuable resource for traders aiming to leverage structured patterns for consistent results in their technical analysis.

Alternative Shark Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] ALT Shark🔵 Introduction
The Alternative Shark harmonic pattern, similar to the original Shark harmonic pattern introduced by Scott Carney, is a powerful tool in technical analysis used to identify potential reversal zones (PRZ) in financial markets.
These harmonic patterns help traders spot key turning points in market trends by relying on specific Fibonacci ratios. The Alternative Shark pattern is particularly unique due to its distinct Fibonacci retracements within the PRZ, which differentiate it from the standard Shark pattern and provide traders with more precise entry and exit signals.
By focusing on harmonic patterns and utilizing tools like the Harmonic Pattern Indicator, traders can easily identify both the Shark and Alternative Shark patterns, making it easier to find PRZs and capture potential trend reversals. This enhanced detection of potential reversal zones allows for better trade optimization and improved risk management.
Incorporating the Alternative Shark pattern into your technical analysis strategy enables you to enhance your trading performance by identifying market reversals with greater accuracy, improving the timing of your trades, and reducing risks associated with sudden market shifts.
🟣 Understanding the Types of Alternative Shark Pattern
The Alternative Shark harmonic pattern, much like the original Shark pattern, forms at the end of price trends and is divided into two types: Bullish and Bearish Alternative Shark patterns.
Bullish Alternative Shark Pattern :
This pattern typically forms at the end of a downtrend, signaling a potential reversal into an uptrend. Traders can use this pattern to identify buy entry points. The image below illustrates the core components of the Bullish Alternative Shark Pattern.
Bearish Alternative Shark Pattern :
Conversely, the Bearish Alternative Shark Pattern appears at the end of an uptrend and signals a potential reversal to a downtrend. This variation allows traders to adjust their strategies for selling. The image below outlines the characteristics of the Bearish Alternative Shark Pattern.
🟣 Differences Between Shark and Alternative Shark Patterns
Although both patterns share similar structures and serve as tools for identifying price reversals, there is one key difference between them :
AB to XA Ratio : In the Shark pattern, the AB leg retraces between 1 and 2 of the XA leg, whereas in the Alternative Shark pattern, this retracement is reduced to 0.382 to 0.618 of the XA leg. This difference in the retracement ratio leads to slightly different trade signals and can affect the timing of entry and exit points.
Other ratios and reversal signals remain consistent between the two patterns, but this difference in the AB to XA ratio provides traders with more nuanced opportunities to optimize their trades.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Trading with the Bullish Alternative Shark Pattern
The Bullish Alternative Shark Pattern functions similarly to the traditional Bullish Shark, acting as a reversal pattern that helps traders recognize the end of a downtrend and the beginning of an uptrend.
The main distinction lies in the reduced AB retracement, which can offer more refined entry signals. Once the pattern completes, traders can look to enter buy trades and place a stop-loss below the lowest point of the pattern for effective risk management.
🟣 Trading with the Bearish Alternative Shark Pattern
The Bearish Alternative Shark Pattern operates much like the Bearish Shark pattern but with the adjusted AB to XA ratio. This difference provides traders with unique entry points for sell trades. Once the pattern is fully identified, traders can enter short positions, placing a stop-loss above the highest point of the pattern to safeguard against market fluctuations.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Logical Setting
ZigZag Pivot Period : You can adjust the period so that the harmonic patterns are adjusted according to the pivot period you want. This factor is the most important parameter in pattern recognition.
Show Valid Forma t: If this parameter is on "On" mode, only patterns will be displayed that they have exact format and no noise can be seen in them. If "Off" is, the patterns displayed that maybe are noisy and do not exactly correspond to the original pattern.
Show Formation Last Pivot Confirm : if Turned on, you can see this ability of patterns when their last pivot is formed. If this feature is off, it will see the patterns as soon as they are formed. The advantage of this option being clear is less formation of fielded patterns, and it is accompanied by the latest pattern seeing and a sharp reduction in reward to risk.
Period of Formation Last Pivot : Using this parameter you can determine that the last pivot is based on Pivot period.
🟣 Genaral Setting
Show : Enter "On" to display the template and "Off" to not display the template.
Color : Enter the desired color to draw the pattern in this parameter.
LineWidth : You can enter the number 1 or numbers higher than one to adjust the thickness of the drawing lines. This number must be an integer and increases with increasing thickness.
LabelSize : You can adjust the size of the labels by using the "size.auto", "size.tiny", "size.smal", "size.normal", "size.large" or "size.huge" entries.
🟣 Alert Setting
Alert : On / Off
Message Frequency : This string parameter defines the announcement frequency. Choices include: "All" (activates the alert every time the function is called), "Once Per Bar" (activates the alert only on the first call within the bar), and "Once Per Bar Close" (the alert is activated only by a call at the last script execution of the real-time bar upon closing). The default setting is "Once per Bar".
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : The date, hour, and minute you receive in alert messages can be based on any time zone you choose. For example, if you want New York time, you should enter "UTC-4". This input is set to the time zone "UTC" by default.
🔵 Conclusion
The Alternative Shark harmonic pattern, despite its structural similarity to the traditional Shark pattern, introduces a key difference in the AB to XA ratio, making it a valuable addition to the trader’s toolkit. This subtle variation enables traders to pinpoint reversal points with greater accuracy and fine-tune their trading strategies.
As with any technical pattern, it is crucial to use the Alternative Shark pattern in combination with other technical indicators and strong risk management practices. Incorporating this pattern into a broader trading strategy can help traders enhance their ability to detect and capitalize on market reversals more effectively.
Fibonacci Retracement Levels (Horizontal)With this, you should be able to see the Fibonacc-i retracement levels plotted as horizontal lines on your chart. If needed, you can adjust the len parameter to increase or decrease the lookback period used to calculate the high and low points.
Horizontal Lines: I've added horizontal lines for each Fibonacci retracement level (0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 100%), starting from the current bar index to ensure they extend horizontally across the chart.
Labels: Labels are now placed on the right side of the chart for each level so you can easily identify the Fibonacci levels.
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.
Cypher Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Cypher Pattern Detector🔵 Introduction
The Cypher Pattern is one of the most accurate and advanced harmonic patterns, introduced by Darren Oglesbee. The Cypher pattern, utilizing Fibonacci ratios and geometric price analysis, helps traders identify price reversal points with high precision. This pattern consists of five key points (X, A, B, C, and D), each playing an important role in determining entry and exit points in the financial markets.
The reversal point typically occurs in the XD region, with the Fibonacci ratio ranging between 0.768 and 0.886. This zone is referred to as the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ), where traders anticipate price changes to occur.
The Cypher harmonic pattern is popular among professional traders due to its high accuracy in identifying market trends and reversal points. The pattern appears in two forms: bullish Cypher pattern and bearish Cypher pattern.
In the bullish Cypher pattern, after a price correction, the price moves upward, while in the bearish Cypher pattern, the price moves downward after a temporary increase. These patterns help traders use technical analysis to identify strong reversal points in the PRZ and execute more optimal trades.
Bullish Cypher Pattern :
Bearish Cypher Pattern :
🔵 How to Use
The Cypher pattern is one of the most complex and precise harmonic patterns, leveraging Fibonacci ratios to help traders identify price reversals. This pattern is comprised of five key points, each playing a critical role in determining entry and exit points.
The Cypher pattern appears in two main types :
Bullish Cypher pattern : This pattern appears as an M shape on the chart and indicates a trend reversal to the upside after a price correction. Traders can prepare for buying after identifying this pattern in technical analysis.
Bearish Cypher pattern : This pattern appears as a W shape and signals the start of a downtrend after a temporary price increase. Traders can use this pattern to enter short positions.
🟣 How to Identify the Cypher Pattern on a Chart
Identifying the Cypher pattern requires precision and the use of advanced technical analysis tools. The pattern consists of four main legs, each identified using Fibonacci ratios and geometric analysis.
To spot the Cypher pattern on a chart, first, identify the five key points : X, A, B, C, and D.
XA leg : The initial move from point X to A.
AB leg : The first correction after the XA move, where the price moves to point B.
BC leg : After the correction, the price moves upwards to point C.
CD leg : The final price move that reaches point D, where a price reversal is expected.
In a bullish Cypher pattern, point D indicates the start of a new uptrend, while in a bearish Cypher pattern, point D signals the beginning of a downtrend. Correctly identifying these points helps traders determine the best time to enter a trade.
🟣 How to Trade Using the Cypher Pattern
Once the Cypher pattern is identified on the chart, traders can use it to set entry and exit points. Point D is the key point for trade entry. In the bullish Cypher pattern, the trader can enter a long position after point D forms, while in the bearish Cypher pattern, point D serves as the ideal point for entering a short position.
🟣 Entering a Buy Trade with the Bullish Cypher Pattern
In a bullish Cypher pattern, traders wait for the price to reach point D, after which they can enter a buy position. At this point, the price is expected to start rising.
🟣 Entering a Sell Trade with the Bearish Cypher Pattern
In a bearish Cypher pattern, the trader enters a sell position at point D, expecting the price to move downward after reaching this point. For additional confirmation, traders can use technical indicators such as RSI or MACD.
🟣 Risk Management in Cypher Pattern Trades
Risk management is one of the most critical aspects of any trade, and this holds true for trading the Cypher pattern. Traders should always use stop-loss orders to prevent larger losses in case the pattern fails.
In the bullish Cypher pattern, the stop-loss is usually placed slightly below point D to exit the trade if the price continues to drop.
In the bearish Cypher pattern, the stop-loss is placed above point D to limit losses if the price rises unexpectedly.
🟣 Combining the Cypher Pattern with Other Technical Tools
The Cypher pattern is a powerful tool in technical analysis, but combining it with other methods such as price action and technical indicators can improve trading accuracy.
🟣 Combining with Price Action
Traders can use price action to confirm the Cypher pattern. Candlestick patterns like reversal candlesticks can provide additional confirmation for price reversals at point D.
🟣 Using Technical Indicators
Incorporating technical indicators such as RSI and MACD can also help traders receive stronger signals for entering trades based on the Cypher pattern. These indicators help identify overbought or oversold conditions, allowing traders to make more informed decisions.
🟣 Advantages and Disadvantages of the Cypher Pattern in Technical Analysis
Advantages :
High accuracy : The Cypher pattern, using Fibonacci ratios and geometric analysis, provides high precision in identifying reversal points.
Applicable in various markets : This pattern can be used in a wide range of financial markets, including forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies.
Disadvantages :
Rarit y: The Cypher pattern appears less frequently on charts compared to other harmonic patterns.
Complexity : Accurately identifying this pattern requires significant experience, which may be challenging for novice traders.

🔵 Conclusion
The Cypher harmonic pattern is one of the most powerful and accurate patterns used in technical analysis. Its high precision in identifying price reversal points, particularly within the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ), has made it a popular tool among professional traders. The PRZ, located between the Fibonacci ratios of 0.768 and 0.886 in the XD region, offers traders a clear indication of where price reversals are likely to occur.
However, to use this pattern successfully, traders must employ proper risk management and combine it with supplementary tools like technical indicators and price action. By understanding how to utilize the PRZ, traders can enhance the accuracy of their trade entries and exits.
Ultimately, the Cypher pattern, when used in conjunction with the PRZ, helps traders make more precise decisions in the financial markets, leading to more successful and well-informed trades.
Custom Pattern DetectionOverview
Chart Patterns is a major tool for many traders. Pattern formation at specific location on the chart is used for investment/trading decisions.
This indicator is designed in a way to allow investors/traders to define patterns of their choice based on certain input parameters and then detect defined pattern on the chart.
Investors/traders can use their own creativity to create and detect patterns.
This indicator works in 2 modes
Create Pattern: One can define a pattern and verify sample pattern formation visually
Detect Pattern: Detect and mark patterns on the chart
Settings
Create Custom Pattern:
Show Custom Pattern – This will mark the pattern lines on the chart so that one can verify how pattern appears based on the input’s parameters provided for lines XA, AB, BC, CD, DE, EF
Offset – Used while pattern creation. Offset is horizonal distance between 2 lines.
XA Points – Used to draw XA line when sample pattern is drawn. XA points can be a negative or position number.
XA line is drawn based on Offset and XA Points. E.g. Offset = 5 and XA Points = -20. In this line would be drawn from last candle high to high – 20 (these are y1 and y2 points of a line). While drawing line distance of 5 candles would be placed between 2 line points (these are x1 and x2 points of a line). In XA line X forms start point and A forms end point of the line.
Line AB – Line AB is drawn from point X. To derive the end point of AB, average Fib% is derived based on From Fib% and To Fib% parameters. Finally end point is derived by applying Fib Retracement on Line XA based on average Fib%.
Line AB to Line EF – These points are derived as explained in Line AB.
The indicator can be used to define/create patterns up to 6 legs/lines. The line would be named as XA -> AB -> BC -> CD -> DE -> EF.
If one wish to create pattern consisting 3 legs then it can be achieved by unchecking/deselecting Line CD, DE and EF or by checking only Line AB and BC.
Based on the parameters above indicator draws a sample pattern after last candle/bar on the chart. Sample pattern helps to visually see how pattern will appear on the chart.
Pattern Identification
Indicator derive the swing high/low points based on the Pivot lookback and use as reference points while detecting patterns.
Use of From Fib% and To Fib% - While detecting pattern, retracement price points are derived for From Fib% and To Fib%. Price points between from Fib% and To Fib% are treated as valid retracement points.

Deep Crab Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Reversal Zones🔵 Introduction
The Deep Crab pattern is a 5-point extension harmonic structure (X-A-B-C-D) used in technical analysis to identify potential reversal points in financial markets. Like the original Crab pattern, it heavily relies on a 1.618 XA projection to form the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ).
However, the key difference lies in the B point, which must be an 0.886 retracement of the XA leg. The D point in this pattern typically extends beyond the X point, signaling a strong potential reversal in price movement.
Bullish Deep Crab :
The Bullish Deep Crab is a pattern used in technical analysis to spot potential trend reversals. It signals a shift from a downtrend to an uptrend. Traders enter a buy position at the D point and set a stop-loss below point X, anticipating a price increase.
Bearish Deep Crab :
The Bearish Deep Crab is a reversal pattern that indicates the potential end of an uptrend. Traders enter a sell position at point D and set a stop-loss above point X, expecting the price to fall afterward.
🟣 Crab Vs Deep Crab
The Crab and Deep Crab patterns are both used to identify reversal points in technical analysis, but they differ in terms of correction depth :
Crab : The B point retraces between 38.2% to 61.8% of the XA leg, and point D extends beyond X, indicating a price reversal after a smaller correction.
Deep Crab : The B point retraces more deeply, around 88.6% of the XA leg, and point D has a stronger extension, signaling a reversal after a deeper correction.
The Deep Crab is more suited for identifying stronger price movements.
🔵 How to Use
To effectively use the Deep Crab pattern, it’s essential to correctly identify its five key points (X, A, B, C, and D) based on Fibonacci retracements and extensions. Traders look for a deep retracement at point B, followed by an extended move to point D, which typically signals a strong price reversal.
Once these points are established, traders can strategically enter positions at point D with appropriate stop-loss and take-profit levels, capitalizing on the anticipated market reversal. Proper use of Fibonacci tools is crucial for accurate pattern identification.
🟣 Bullish Deep Crab
To use the Bullish Deep Crab pattern, a trader identifies point D as the key price reversal point in a downtrend. Using Fibonacci tools, points X, A, B, and C are identified, with point B showing an 88.6% retracement of XA, and CD extending 1.618% of XA.
The trader enters a buy position at point D and sets a stop-loss below X, expecting a reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend.
🟣 Bearish Deep Crab
In the Bearish Deep Crab pattern, point D acts as the reversal point in an uptrend. After identifying points X, A, B, and C, D extends 1.618% of XA. Point B retraces 88.6% of XA. Traders enter a sell position at point D and place a stop-loss above X, anticipating a drop in price.

The Deep Crab pattern is a valuable reversal tool in technical analysis, known for its deep retracement and extended price movements.
Unlike other harmonic patterns, it emphasizes identifying critical points where price action is likely to reverse sharply. This pattern works well in both bullish and bearish market scenarios, offering clear signals for entry and exit points.
However, successful application requires a deep understanding of market behavior and precise use of technical tools like Fibonacci retracement. Overall, mastering this pattern can enhance trading strategies and risk management.
123 Reversal Trading StrategyThe 123 Reversal Trading Strategy is a technical analysis approach that seeks to identify potential reversal points in the market by analyzing price patterns. This Pine Script™ code implements a version of this strategy, and here’s a detailed description:
Strategy Overview
Objective: The strategy aims to identify bullish reversal patterns using the 123 pattern and manage trades with a specified holding period and a 20-day moving average as an additional exit condition.
Key Components:
Holding Period: The number of days to hold a trade is adjustable, with the default set to 7 days.
Moving Average: A 200-day simple moving average (SMA) is used to determine an exitcondition based on the price crossing this average.
Pattern Recognition:
Condition 1: The low of the current day must be lower than the low of the previous day.
Condition 2: The low of the previous day must be lower than the low from three days ago.
Condition 3: The low two days ago must be lower than the low from four days ago.
Condition 4: The high two days ago must be lower than the high three days ago.
Entry Condition: All four conditions must be met for a buy signal.
Exit Condition: The position is closed either after the specified holding period or when the price reaches or exceeds the 200-day moving average.
Relevant Literature
Graham, B., & Dodd, D. L. (1934). Security Analysis. This classic work introduces fundamental analysis and technical analysis principles which are foundational to understanding patterns like the 123 reversal.
Murphy, J. J. (1999). Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets. Murphy provides an extensive overview of technical indicators and chart patterns, including reversal patterns similar to the 123 pattern.
Elder, A. (1993). Trading for a Living. Elder discusses various trading strategies and technical analysis techniques that complement the understanding of reversal patterns and their application in trading.
Risks and Considerations
Pattern Reliability: The 123 reversal pattern, like many technical patterns, is not foolproof. It can generate false signals, especially in volatile or trending markets. This may lead to losses if the pattern does not play out as expected.
Market Conditions: The strategy may perform differently under various market conditions. In strongly trending markets, reversal patterns might not be as reliable.
Lagging Indicators: The use of the 200-day moving average as an exit condition can be considered a lagging indicator. This means it reacts to price movements with a delay, which might result in late exits and missed profit opportunities.
Holding Period: The fixed holding period of 7 days may not be optimal for all market conditions or stocks. It is essential to adjust the holding period based on market dynamics and individual stock behavior.
Overfitting: The parameters used (like the number of days and moving average length) are set based on historical data. Overfitting can occur if these parameters are tailored too specifically to past data, leading to reduced performance in future scenarios.
Conclusion
The 123 Reversal Trading Strategy is designed to identify potential market reversals using specific conditions related to price lows and highs. While it offers a structured approach to trading, it is essential to be aware of its limitations and potential risks. As with any trading strategy, it should be tested thoroughly in various market conditions and adjusted according to the individual trading style and risk tolerance.
Bat Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Bat Chart Indicator🔵 Introduction
The Bat Harmonic Pattern, created by Scott Carney in the 1990s, is a sophisticated tool in technical analysis, used to identify potential reversal points in price movements by leveraging Fibonacci ratios.
This pattern is classified into two primary types: the Bullish Bat Pattern, which signals the end of a downtrend and the beginning of an uptrend, and the Bearish Bat Pattern, which indicates the conclusion of an uptrend and the onset of a downtrend.
🟣 Bullish Bat Pattern
The Bullish Bat Pattern is designed to identify when a downtrend is likely to end and a new uptrend is about to begin. The key feature of this pattern is Point D, which typically aligns near the 88.6% Fibonacci retracement of the XA leg.
This point is considered a strong buy zone. When the price reaches Point D after a significant downtrend, it often indicates a potential reversal, presenting a buying opportunity for traders anticipating the start of an upward movement.
🟣 Bearish Bat Pattern
In contrast, the Bearish Bat Pattern forms when an uptrend is nearing its conclusion. Point D, which also typically aligns near the 88.6% Fibonacci retracement of the XA leg, serves as a critical point for traders.
This point is regarded as a strong sell zone, signaling that the uptrend may be ending, and a downtrend could be imminent. Traders often open short positions when they identify this pattern, aiming to capitalize on the anticipated downward movement.
🔵 How to Use
The Bat Pattern consists of five key points: X, A, B, C, and D, and four waves: XA, AB, BC, and CD. Fibonacci ratios play a crucial role in this pattern, helping traders pinpoint precise entry and exit points. In both the Bullish and Bearish Bat Patterns, the 88.6% retracement of the XA leg is a critical level for identifying potential reversal points.
🟣 Bullish Bat Pattern
Traders typically enter buy positions after Point D forms, expecting the downtrend to end and a new uptrend to start. This point, located near the 88.6% retracement of the XA leg, serves as a reliable buy signal.
🟣 Bearish Bat Pattern
Traders usually open short positions after identifying Point D, expecting the uptrend to end and a downtrend to begin. This point, also near the 88.6% retracement of the XA leg, acts as a valid sell signal.
🟣 Trading Tips for the Bat Pattern
Accurate Fibonacci Point Identification : Accurately identify Points X, A, B, C, and D, and calculate the Fibonacci ratios between these points. Point D should ideally be near the 88.6% retracement of the XA leg.
Signal Confirmation with Other Tools : To enhance the pattern's accuracy, avoid trading solely based on the Bat Pattern.
Risk Management : Always use stop-loss orders. In a Bullish Bat Pattern, place the stop-loss below Point X, and in a Bearish Bat Pattern, above Point X. This helps limit potential losses if the pattern fails.
Wait for Price Movement Confirmation : After identifying Point D, wait for the price to move in the anticipated direction to confirm the pattern's validity before entering a trade.
Set Realistic Profit Targets : Use Fibonacci retracement levels to set realistic profit targets, such as 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8% retracement levels of the CD leg. This strategy helps maximize profits and prevents premature exits.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Logical Setting
ZigZag Pivot Period : You can adjust the period so that the harmonic patterns are adjusted according to the pivot period you want. This factor is the most important parameter in pattern recognition.
Show Valid Forma t: If this parameter is on "On" mode, only patterns will be displayed that they have exact format and no noise can be seen in them. If "Off" is, the patterns displayed that maybe are noisy and do not exactly correspond to the original pattern.
Show Formation Last Pivot Confirm : if Turned on, you can see this ability of patterns when their last pivot is formed. If this feature is off, it will see the patterns as soon as they are formed. The advantage of this option being clear is less formation of fielded patterns, and it is accompanied by the latest pattern seeing and a sharp reduction in reward to risk.
Period of Formation Last Pivot : Using this parameter you can determine that the last pivot is based on Pivot period.
🟣 Genaral Setting
Show : Enter "On" to display the template and "Off" to not display the template.
Color : Enter the desired color to draw the pattern in this parameter.
LineWidth : You can enter the number 1 or numbers higher than one to adjust the thickness of the drawing lines. This number must be an integer and increases with increasing thickness.
LabelSize : You can adjust the size of the labels by using the "size.auto", "size.tiny", "size.smal", "size.normal", "size.large" or "size.huge" entries.
🟣 Alert Setting
Alert : On / Off
Message Frequency : This string parameter defines the announcement frequency. Choices include: "All" (activates the alert every time the function is called), "Once Per Bar" (activates the alert only on the first call within the bar), and "Once Per Bar Close" (the alert is activated only by a call at the last script execution of the real-time bar upon closing). The default setting is "Once per Bar".
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : The date, hour, and minute you receive in alert messages can be based on any time zone you choose. For example, if you want New York time, you should enter "UTC-4". This input is set to the time zone "UTC" by default.
🔵 Conclusion
The Bat Harmonic Pattern is a powerful tool in technical analysis, offering traders the ability to identify critical reversal points using Fibonacci ratios. By recognizing the Bullish and Bearish Bat Patterns, traders can anticipate potential trend reversals and make informed trading decisions.
However, it is essential to combine the Bat Pattern with other technical analysis tools and confirm signals for better trading outcomes. With proper use, this pattern can help traders minimize risk and optimize their entry and exit points in the market.
VS (Vegas Fractal System)VS is a trading system based on the identification of fractal reaction zones within a larger, carefully identified movement. It is internally made up of 4 sub-systems.
The indicator is composed of the following parameters: Max and Min, are the largest area identified and will act as the STOPLOSS point. L1, is the price reaction level. Entry, is where to place a pending market entry order. TP, is the place to place a 100% sell order.
A valid area must be identified through the Fibonacci levels that join Highs and Lows or vice versa depending on the bullish or bearish movement. To be usable, this movement must not have a sub-movement that has already hit the 0.618 level.
Always manage Risk and Money Management in an adequate, technical and sustainable manner in relation to your capital. A fair exposure per transaction is between 1% and 2% of the capital.
Magic Linear Regression Channel [MW]Introduction
The Magic Linear Regression Channel indicator provides users with a way to quickly include a linear regression channel ANYWHERE on their chart, in order to find channel breakouts and bounces within any time period. It uses a novel method that allows users to adjust the start and end period of the regression channel in order to quickly make adjustments faster, with fewer steps, and with more precision than with any other linear regression channel tool. It includes Fibonacci bands AND a horizontal mode in order for users to quickly define significant price levels based on the high, low, open, and close prices defined by the start period.
Settings
Start Time: This is initially MANUALLY SELECTED ON THE CHART when the indicator is first loaded.
End time: This is also initially MANUALLY SELECTED ON THE CHART when the indicator is first loaded.
Horizontal Line: This forces the baseline to be horizontal. The band distance is defined by the maximum price distance from the band.
Horizontal Line Type: This snaps the horizontal line to the close, high, low, or open price. Or, it can also use a regression calculation for the selected time period to define the y-position of the line.
Extend Line N Bars: How many bars to the left in which to extend the baseline and bands.
Show Baseline ONLY!!: Removes all lines except the baseline and it’s extension.
Add Half Band: Includes a band that is half the distance between the baseline and the top and bottom bands
Add Outer Fibonacci Band: Includes a band that is 1.618 (phi) times the default band distance
Add Inner Fibonacci Band - Upper: Includes a band that is 0.618 (1/phi) times the default band distance
Add Inner Fibonacci Band - Lower: Includes a band that is 0.382 (1 - 1/phi) times the default band distance
Calculations
This indicator uses the least squares approach for generating a straight regression line, which can be reviewed at Wikipedia’s “Simple Linear Regression” page. It sums all of the x-values, and y-values, as well as the sum of the product of corresponding x and y values, and the sum of the squares of the x-values. These values are used to calculate the slope and intercept using the following equations:
slope = (n * sum_xy - sum_x * sum_y) / (n * sum_xx - sum_x * sum_x)
And
intercept = (sum_y - slope * sum_x) / n
The slope and intercept are then used to generate the baseline and the corresponding bands using the user-selected offsets.
How to Use
When the Magic Linear Regression Channel indicator is first added to the chart, there will be a blue prompt behind the “Indicators, Metrics & Strategies” window. Close the window, then select a START POINT by clicking at a desired location on the chart. Next, you will be prompted to select an END POINT. The end point MUST be placed after the START POINT. At this time a channel will be generated. Once you’ve selected the START POINT and END POINT, you can adjust them by dragging them anywhere on the chart. Each adjustment will generate a new channel making it easier for you to quickly visualize and recognize any channel exits and bounces.
The Magic Linear Regression Channel indicator works great at identifying wave patterns. Place the start line at a top or bottom pivot point. Place the end line at the next respective top or bottom pivot. This will give you a complete wave form to work with. When price reaches a band and rejects, it can be a strong indication that price may move back to one of the bands in the channel. If price exits the channel with volume that supports the exit, it may be an indication of a breakout.
You can also use the horizontal mode to identify key levels, then add Fibonacci bands based on regression calculations for the given time period to provide more meaningful areas of support and resistance.
Other Usage Notes and Limitations
Occasionally, off-by-1 errors appear which makes the extended lines protrude at a slightly incorrect angle. This is a known bug and will be addressed in the next release.
It's important for traders to be aware of the limitations of any indicator and to use them as part of a broader, well-rounded trading strategy that includes risk management, fundamental analysis, and other tools that can help with reducing false signals, determining trend direction, and providing additional confirmation for a trade decision. Diversifying strategies and not relying solely on one type of indicator or analysis can help mitigate some of these risks.
