Relative Strength, not RSIThe Smoothed Relative Strength Indicator (not RSI) with Multi-Timeframe Support is a custom indicator that combines the concepts of Relative Strength (not RSI) and Money Flow Index (MFI) to create a smoothed trend-following tool. It works on any timeframe and adapts to different market conditions.
Key Features:
Multi-timeframe support: [ The script uses the request.security function to fetch data from other timeframes, allowing users to analyze the trend on different timeframes simultaneously.
Relative Strength calculation: The script calculates the Relative Strength (not RSI) by averaging the gains and losses over a user-defined period (len).
Money Flow Index calculation: The script calculates the Money Flow Index (MFI) by considering both price and volume data. The MFI is an oscillator that ranges between 0 and 100, and it helps identify overbought or oversold conditions in the market.
Combination of Relative Strength and MFI:The indicator calculates the average of Relative Strength and MFI values to create the Trend Reversal Strength (TRS) line.
Smoothing the TRS line: The TRS line is smoothed using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) with a user-defined smoothing length (smoothLen). This helps to reduce noise and make the trend more readable.
Trend color determination: The script determines the trend color based on the slope of the smoothed TRS line. If the current value of the smoothed TRS line is higher than the previous one, the line is colored green (uptrend). If the current value is lower than the previous one, the line is colored red (downtrend).
Visual representation of trend changes: The indicator plots small circles at points where the trend color changes, making it easier to identify potential trend reversal points.
Zero line: The script draws a horizontal line at the zero level to help users gauge the market's strength or weakness relative to this level.
Usage:
This indicator can be used as a trend-following tool to identify potential entry and exit points in the market. When the smoothed TRS line is green and rising, it suggests a bullish trend, and traders may consider entering long positions. Conversely, when the smoothed TRS line is red and falling, it indicates a bearish trend, and traders may consider short positions or exiting long trades.
Please note that this indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and proper risk management techniques to improve the accuracy of your trading decisions.

Turtle Soup IndicatorTurtle Soup Indicator plots a shape when we have a 20-period high or 20-period low.
Turtle Soup Setup
The Turtle Soup setup was published in the book Street Smarts by Laurence A Connors and Linda Raschke. You can learn about it there. It is a great setup for false breakouts or breakdowns in the group failure tests.
Going long
1) We have a new 20-period low
2) that must have occured at least four trading sessions earlier <- this is very important
Then we place a buy stop above 5-10 ticks or 5 to 10 cents above the previous 20-period low.
If filled immediately place a good til cancelled sell stop one tick or one cent below todays low.
Turtle Soup Plus One
Similar to above but occurs one day later. It should close at/below previous 20-period low.
Buy stop at earlier 20 day low. Cancel fi not filled on day 2.
Take partials within 2-6 bars on this one and trail stop rest of position.
Going short
Reverse
Time frames
Works on all timeframes. Only adjust stoplosses accordingly to chosen timeframe.
Settings
You can change the color, shape and placement of the indicator shape. I actually prefer a grey color for both highs and lows as the color actually doesn't add much information. The placement says it all but it is up to you to change this as you like.
90 Minute Cycles + MTFCredit goes to LuxAlgo for the inspiration from 'Sessions' which allowed users to analyse specific price movements within a user defined period with tools such as trendline, mean and vwap.
Settings
Sessions
Enable Session: Allows to enable or disable all associated elements with a specific user set session.
Session Time: Opening and closing times of the user set session in the hh:mm format.
Range: Highlights the associated session range on the chart.
Ranges Settings
Range Area colour: Set each range to a specific colour.
Range Label: Shows the session label at the mid-point of the session interval.
Usage
By breaking 24hrs in quarters, starting with an Asian range of 18:00 NY time you can visualise the principles of Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution and Rebalance. Know as AMD or PO3 (Power of Three), the principle is that the Manipulation phase will break above or below the Accumulation, before moving in an apposing direction and then rebalancing. This only works when there is a higher timeframe PD array or liquidity to support an apposing move.
Further to the daily quarters, each one can then be broken down again into 90min cycles. Again, each represents AMD, allowing the user an opportunity to watch for reversals during the 90min manipulation phase.
Note: Ensure the Asian Cycle always begins at 18:00 NY time.
The example shows that the 90min cycle occurs, followed by an apposing move away in price action
Here is the Daily cycle, highlighting the Manipulation phase.

Hann Window Amplitude FilterThis script is designed to implement a multi-signal Hann filter, which is essentially a movable Hann window filter. The purpose of this filter is to allow users to select the periods or frequencies that best align with their trading strategy or market analysis.
The Hann window filter operates by enabling the selection of either lower or higher frequencies. The period of the window is twice the number of signals you wish to filter. As you shift the window by the number of your signals, the signal on one side will have an amplitude of 0, while the other side will have an amplitude of 1.
Continuing to shift the window will result in new values of 0. This feature is particularly useful for further filtering the frequencies or periods that you want to focus on for your trading decisions.
In summary, this script provides a flexible and customizable tool for filtering signals based on their frequency or period, which can be a valuable addition to any trader's technical analysis toolkit.

RSI of Zero Lag MA (ValueRay)The RSI of a Zero Lag Moving Average a powerful tool for for reliable exit signals.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a widely recognized momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It provides valuable insights into overbought and oversold conditions, enabling traders to identify potential reversal points and take advantage of market inefficiencies.
The RSI of a Zero Lag Indicator takes this concept a step further by incorporating the Zero Lag Moving Average. The Zero Lag Moving Average is a cutting-edge indicator that minimizes lag and provides a smoother representation of price action, allowing for quicker and more precise responses to market movements.
By combining the RSI with the Zero Lag Moving Average, this indicator offers traders a superior exit strategy. When the RSI reaches extreme levels of overbought or oversold conditions, it indicates a potential reversal in the market. The Zero Lag Moving Average further enhances this signal by reducing delays and providing timely exit points.
Moreover, the RSI of a Zero Lag Indicator is not limited to mean reversion strategies. While it excels in identifying mean reversion opportunities, it can also be used in conjunction with other trading approaches. Traders can take advantage of its objective signals to exit trades profitably, regardless of their chosen strategy.
With its ability to accurately pinpoint overbought and oversold conditions, the RSI of a Zero Lag Indicator offers traders a competitive edge in the market. By providing timely exit signals and minimizing lag, it helps traders optimize their trading decisions and increase their chances of success.

4H RangeThis script visualizes certain key values based on a 4-hour timeframe of the selected market on the chart. These values include the High, Mid, and Low price levels during each 4-hour period.
These levels can be helpful to identify inside range price action, chop, and consolidation. They can sometimes act as pivots and can be a great reference for potential entries and exits if price continues to hold the same range.
Here's a step-by-step overview of what this indicator does:
1. Inputs: At the beginning of the script, users are allowed to customize some inputs:
Choose the color of lines and labels.
Decide whether to show labels on the chart.
Choose the size of labels ("tiny", "small", "normal", or "large").
Choose whether to display price values in labels.
Set the number of bars to offset the labels to the right.
Set a threshold for the number of ticks that triggers a new calculation of high, mid, and low values.
* Tick settings may need to be increased on equity charts as one tick is usually equal to one cent.
For example, if you want to clear the range when there is a close one point/one dollar above or below the range high/low then on ES
that would be 4 ticks but one whole point on AAPL would be 100 ticks. 100 ticks on an equity chart may or may not be ideal due to
different % change of 100 ticks might be too excessive depending on the price per share.
So be aware that user preferred thresholds can vary greatly depending on which chart you're using.
2. Retrieving Price Data: The script retrieves the high, low, and closing price for every 4-hour period for the current market.
The script also calculates the mid-price of each 4-hour period (the average of the high and low prices).
3. Line Drawing: At the start of the script (first run), it draws three lines (high, mid, and low) at the levels corresponding to the high,
mid, and low prices. Users can also change transparency settings on historical lines to view them. Default setting for historical lines
is for them to be hidden.
4. Updating Lines and Labels: For each subsequent 4-hour period, the script checks whether the close price of the period has gone
beyond a certain threshold (set by user input) above the previous high or below the previous low. If it has, the script deletes the
previous lines and labels, draws new lines at the new high, mid, and low levels, and creates new labels (if the user has opted to
show labels).
5. Displaying Values in the Data Window: In addition to the visual representation on the chart, the script also plots the high, mid, and
low prices. These plotted values appear in the Data Window of TradingView, allowing users to see the exact price levels even when
they're not directly labeled on the chart.
6. Updating Lines and Labels Position: At the end of each period, the script moves the lines and labels (if they're shown) to the right,
keeping them aligned with the current period.
Please note: This script operates based on a 4-hour timeframe, regardless of the timeframe selected on the chart. If a shorter timeframe is selected on the chart, the lines and labels will appear to extend across multiple bars because they represent 4-hour price levels. If a longer timeframe is selected, the lines and labels may not accurately represent high, mid, and low levels within that longer timeframe.
Directional Volume EStimate from Price Action (RedK D_VESPA)The "Directional Volume EStimate from Price Action (RedK D_VESPA)" is another weapon for the VPA (Volume Price Analysis) enthusiasts and traders who like to include volume-based insights & signals to their trading. The basic concept is to estimate the sell and buy split of the traded volume by extrapolating the price action represented by the shape of the associated price bar. We then create and plot an average of these "estimated buy & sell volumes" - the estimated average Net Volume is the balance between these 2 averages.
D_VESPA uses clear visualizations to represent the outcomes in a less distracting and more actionable way.
How does D_VESPA work?
-------------------------------------
The key assumption is that when price moves up, this is caused by "buy" volume (or increasing demand), and when the price moves down, this is due to "selling" volume (or increasing supply). Important to note that we are making our Buy/sell volume estimates here based on the shape of the price bar, and not looking into lower time frame volume data - This is a different approach and is still aligned to the key concepts of VPA.
Originally this work started as an improvement to my Supply/Demand Volume Viewer (V.Viewer) , I ended up re-writing the whole thing after some more research and work on VPA, to improve the estimation, visualization and usability / tradability.
Think of D_VESPA as the "Pro" version of V.Viewer -- and please go back and review the details of V.Viewer as the root concepts are the same so I won't repeat them here (as it comes to exploring Balance Zone and finding Price Convergence/Divergence)
Main Features of D_VESPA
--------------------------------------
- Update Supply/Demand calculation to include 2-bar gaps (improved algo)
- Add multiple options for the moving average (MA type) for the calculation - my preference is to use WMA
- Add option to show Net Volume as 3-color bars
- Visual simplification and improvements to be less distracting & more actionable
- added options to display/hide main visuals while maintaining the status line consistency (Avg Supply, Avg Demand, Avg Net)
- add alerts for NetVol moving into Buy (crosses 0 up) or Sell (crosses 0 down) modes - or swing from one mode to the other
(there are actually 2 sets of alerts, one set for the main NetVol plot, and the other for the secondary TF NetVol - give user more options on how to utilize D_VESPA)
Quick techie piece, how does the estimated buy/sell volume algo work ?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* per our assumption, buy volume is associated with price up-moves, sell volume is associated with price down-moves
* so each of the bulls and bears will get the equivalent of the top & bottom wicks,
* for up bars, bulls get the value of the "body", else the bears get the "body"
* open gaps are allocated to bulls or bears depending on the gap direction
The below sketch explains how D_VESPA estimates the Buy/Sell Volume split based on the bar shape (including gap) - the example shows a bullish bar with an opening gap up - but the concept is the same for a down-bar or a down-gap.
I kept both the "Volume Weighted" and "2-bar Gap Impact" as options in the indicator settings - these 2 options should be always kept selected. They are there for those who would like to experiment with the difference these changes have on the buy/sell estimation. The indicator will handle cases where there is no volume data for the selected symbol, and in that case, it will simply reflect Average Estimated Bull/Bear ratio of the price bar
The Secondary TF Est Average Net Volume:
---------------------------------------------------------
I added the ability to plot the Estimate Average Net Volume for a secondary timeframe - options 1W, 1D, 1H, or Same as Chart.
- this feature provides traders the confidence to trade the lower timeframes in the same direction as the prevailing "market mode"
- this also adds more MTF support beyond the existing TradingView's built-in MTF support capability - experiment with various settings between exposing the indicator's secondary TF plot, and changing the TF option in the indicator settings.
Note on the secondary TF NetVol plot:
- the secondary TF needs to be set to same as or higher TF than the chart's TF - if not, a warning sign would show and the plot will not be enabled. for example, a day trader may set the secondary TF to 1Hr or 1Day, while looking at 5min or 15min chart. A swing/trend trader who frequently uses the daily chart may set the secondary TF to weekly, and so on..
- the secondary TF NetVol plot is hidden by default and needs to be exposed thru the indicator settings.
the below chart shows D_VESPA on a the same (daily) chart, but with secondary TF plot for the weekly TF enabled
Final Thoughts
-------------------
* RedK D_VESPA is a volume indicator, that estimates buy/sell and net volume averages based on the price action reflected by the shape of the price bars - this can provide more insight on volume compared to the classic volume/VolAverage indicator and assist traders in exploring the market mode (buyers/sellers - bullish/bearish) and align trades to it.
* Because D_VESPA is a volume indicator, it can't be used alone to generate a trading signal - and needs to be combined with other indicators that analysis price value (range), momentum and trend. I recommend to at least combine D_VESPA with a variant of MACD and RSI to get a full view of the price action relative to the prevailing market and the broader trend.
* I found it very useful to take note and "read" how the Est Buy vs Est Sell lines move .. they sort of "tell a story" - experiment with this on your various chart and note the levels of estimate avg demand vs estimate avg supply that this indicator exposes for some very valuable insight about how the chart action is progressing.

Normalized Elastic Volume Oscillator (MTF)The Multi-Timeframe Normalized Elastic Volume Oscillator combines volume analysis with multiple timeframe analysis. It provides traders with valuable insights into volume dynamics across different timeframes, helping to identify trends, potential reversals, and overbought/oversold conditions.
When using the Multi-Timeframe Normalized Elastic Volume Oscillator, consider the following guidelines:
Understanding Input Parameters : The indicator offers customizable input parameters to suit your trading preferences. You can adjust the EMA length (emaLength), scaling factor (scalingFactor), volume weighting option (volumeWeighting), and select a higher timeframe for analysis (higherTF). Experiment with these parameters to optimize the indicator for your trading strategy.
Multiple Timeframe Analysis : The Multi-Timeframe Normalized Elastic Volume Oscillator allows you to analyze volume dynamics on both the current timeframe and a higher timeframe. By comparing volume behavior across different timeframes, you gain a broader perspective on market trends and the strength of volume deviations. The higher timeframe analysis provides additional confirmation and helps identify more significant market shifts.
Normalized Values : The indicator normalizes the volume deviations on both timeframes to a consistent scale between -0.25 and 0.75. This normalization makes it easier to compare and interpret the oscillator's readings across different assets and timeframes. Positive values indicate bullish volume behavior, while negative values suggest bearish volume behavior.
Interpreting the Indicator : Pay attention to the position of the Multi-Timeframe Normalized Elastic Volume Oscillator lines relative to the zero line on both timeframes. Positive values on either timeframe indicate a bullish bias, while negative values suggest a bearish bias. The distance of the oscillator from the zero line reflects the strength of the volume deviation. Extreme readings, both positive and negative, may indicate overbought or oversold conditions, potentially signaling a trend reversal or exhaustion.
Combining with Other Indicators : For more robust trading decisions, consider combining the Multi-Timeframe Normalized Elastic Volume Oscillator with other technical analysis tools. This could include trend indicators, support/resistance levels, or candlestick patterns. By incorporating multiple indicators, you gain additional confirmation and increase the reliability of your trading signals.
Remember that the Multi-Timeframe Normalized Elastic Volume Oscillator is a valuable tool, but it should not be used in isolation. Consider other factors such as price action, market context, and fundamental analysis to make well-informed trading decisions. Additionally, practice proper risk management and exercise caution when executing trades.
By utilizing the Multi-Timeframe Normalized Elastic Volume Oscillator, you gain a comprehensive view of volume dynamics across different timeframes. This knowledge can help you identify potential market trends, confirm trading signals, and improve the timing of your trades.
Take time to familiarize yourself with the indicator and conduct thorough testing on historical data. This will help you gain confidence in its effectiveness and align it with your trading strategy. With experience and continuous evaluation, you can harness the power of the Multi-Timeframe Normalized Elastic Volume Oscillator to make informed trading decisions.
MTF Stationary Extreme IndicatorThe Multiple Timeframe Stationary Extreme Indicator is designed to help traders identify extreme price movements across different timeframes. By analyzing extremes in price action, this indicator aims to provide valuable insights into potential overbought and oversold conditions, offering opportunities for trading decisions.
The indicator operates by calculating the difference between the latest high/low and the high/low a specified number of periods back. This difference is expressed as a percentage, allowing for easy comparison and interpretation. Positive values indicate an increase in the extreme, while negative values suggest a decrease.
One of the unique features of this indicator is its ability to incorporate multiple timeframes. Traders can choose a higher timeframe to analyze alongside the current timeframe, providing a broader perspective on market dynamics. This feature enables a comprehensive assessment of extreme price movements, considering both short-term and longer-term trends.
By observing extreme movements on different timeframes, traders can gain deeper insights into market conditions. This can help in identifying potential areas of confluence or divergence, supporting more informed trading decisions. For example, when extreme movements align across multiple timeframes, it may indicate a higher probability of a significant price reversal or continuation.
To use the Multiple Timeframe Stationary Extreme Indicator effectively, traders should consider a few key points:
- Choose the Timeframes : Select the appropriate timeframes based on your trading strategy and objectives. The current timeframe represents the focus of your analysis, while the higher timeframe provides a broader context. Ensure the chosen timeframes align with your trading style and the asset you are trading.
- Interpret Extreme Movements : Pay attention to extreme movements that breach certain levels. Values above zero indicate a rise in the extreme, potentially signaling overbought conditions. Conversely, values below zero suggest a decrease, potentially indicating oversold conditions. Use these extreme movements as potential entry or exit signals, in conjunction with other indicators or confirmation signals.
- Validate with Price Action : Confirm the extreme movements observed on the indicator with price action. Look for confluence between the indicator's extreme levels and key support or resistance levels, trendlines, or chart patterns. This can provide added confirmation and increase the reliability of the signals generated by the indicator.
- Consider Volatility Filters : The indicator can be enhanced by incorporating volatility filters. By adjusting the sensitivity of the extreme differences calculation based on market volatility, traders can adapt the indicator to different market conditions. Higher volatility may require a longer lookback period, while lower volatility may call for a shorter one. Experiment with volatility filters to fine-tune the indicator's performance.
- Combine with Other Analysis Techniques : The Multiple Timeframe Stationary Extreme Indicator is most effective when used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy. Combine it with other technical analysis tools, such as trend indicators, oscillators, or chart patterns, to form a well-rounded approach. Consider risk management techniques and money management principles to optimize your trading strategy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember that trading indicators, including the Multiple Timeframe Stationary Extreme Indicator, should not be used in isolation. They serve as tools to assist in decision-making, but they require proper context, analysis, and confirmation. Always conduct thorough analysis and consider market conditions, news events, and other relevant factors before making trading decisions.
It's recommended to backtest the indicator on historical data to assess its performance and effectiveness for your trading approach. This will help you understand its strengths and limitations, allowing you to refine and optimize your usage of the indicator.
Supply and DemandThis is a "Supply and Demand" script designed to help traders spot potential levels of supply (resistance) and demand (support) in the market by identifying pivot points from past price action.
Differences from Other Scripts:
Unlike many pivot point scripts, this one offers a greater degree of customization and flexibility, allowing users to determine how many ranges of pivot points they wish to plot (up to 10), as well as the number of the most recent ranges to display.
Furthermore, it allows users to restrict the plotting of pivot points to specific timeframes (15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, and daily) using a toggle input. This is useful for traders who wish to focus on these popular trading timeframes.
This script also uses the color.new function for a more transparent plotting, which is not commonly used in many scripts.
How to Use:
The script provides two user inputs:
"Number of Ranges to Plot (1-10)": This determines how many 10-bar ranges of pivot points the script will calculate and potentially plot.
"Number of Last Ranges to Show (1-?)": This determines how many of the most recent ranges will be displayed on the chart.
"Limit to specific timeframes?": This is a toggle switch. When turned on, the script only plots pivot points if the current timeframe is one of the following: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, or daily.
The pivot points are plotted as circles on the chart, with pivot highs in red and pivot lows in green. The transparency level of these plots can be adjusted in the script.
Market and Conditions:
This script is versatile and can be used in any market, including Forex, commodities, indices, or cryptocurrencies. It's best used in trending markets where supply and demand levels are more likely to be respected. However, like all technical analysis tools, it's not foolproof and should be used in conjunction with other indicators and analysis techniques to confirm signals and manage risk.
A technical analyst, or technician, uses chart patterns and indicators to predict future price movements. The "Supply and Demand" script in question can be an invaluable tool for a technical analyst for the following reasons:
Identifying Support and Resistance Levels : The pivot points plotted by this script can act as potential levels of support and resistance. When the price of an asset approaches these pivot points, it might bounce back (in case of support) or retreat (in case of resistance). These levels can be used to set stop-loss and take-profit points.
Timeframe Analysis : The ability to limit the plotting of pivot points to specific timeframes is useful for multiple timeframe analysis. For instance, a trader might use a longer timeframe to determine the overall trend and a shorter one to decide the optimal entry and exit points.
Customization : The user inputs provided by the script allow a technician to customize the ranges of pivot points according to their unique trading strategy. They can choose the number of ranges to plot and the number of the most recent ranges to display on the chart.
Confirmation of Other Indicators : If a pivot point coincides with a signal from another indicator (for instance, a moving average crossover or a relative strength index (RSI) divergence), it could provide further confirmation of that signal, increasing the chances of a successful trade.
Transparency in Plots : The use of the color.new function allows for more transparent plotting. This feature can prevent the chart from becoming too cluttered when multiple ranges of pivot points are plotted, making it easier for the analyst to interpret the data.
In summary, this script can be used by a technical analyst to pinpoint potential trading opportunities, validate signals from other indicators, and customize the display of pivot points to suit their individual trading style and strategy. Always remember, however, that no single indicator should be used in isolation, and effective risk management strategies should always be employed.
See inside Candles: Directionality %; Constituent Bars & GapsSee inside candles based on user-input LTF setting: get data on 'Directionality' of your candle; Gaps (total and Sum; UP and DOWN); Number of Bull or Bear constituent candles
//Features:
-DIRECTIONALITY: compare length of the 'zig-zag' random walk of lower time frame constituent candles, to the full height of the current candle. Resulting % I refer to as 'directionality'.
-GAPs: what i refer to as 'gaps' are also known as Volume imbalances: the gap between previous candles close and current candle's open (if there is one).
--Gaps total (up vs down gaps). Number of Up gaps printed above bar in green, down gaps printed below bar in red.
--Gaps Sum (total summed UP gap, total summed down gaps. Sum of Up gaps printed above bar in green, Sum of down gaps printed below bar in red.
-Candles Total: Numer of LTF up vs down candles within current timeframe candle. Number of up candles printed above bar in green, Number of down candles printed below bar in red.
//USAGE:
-Primary purpose in this was the Directionality aspect. Wanted to get a measure of how choppy vs how directional the internals of a candle were. Idea being that a candle with high % directionality (approaching 100) would imply trending conditions; while a candle which was large range and full bodies but had a low % directionality would imply the internals were back-and-forth and => rebalanced, potentially indicating price may not need to retrace back into it and rebalance further. All rather experimental, please treat it as such: have a play around with it.
-Number of gaps, Sums of up and down gaps, ratio of up and down constituent candles also intended to serve a similar purpose as the above.
-Set the input lower timeframe; this must obviously be lower then your current timeframe. You will significant differences in results depending on the ratio your timeframes (chart timeframe vs user-input timeframe).
//User Inputs:
-Lower timeframe input (setting child candle size within current chart parent candle).
-Choose function from the four listed above.
-typical formating options: Bull color/bear color txt for gaps functions.
-display % unit or not.
-display vertical or horizontal text.
-Set min / max directionality thresholds; and color code results.
-Toggle on/off 'hide results outside of threshold' to declutter the chart.
-choose label style.
//NOTES:
-Directionality thresholds can be set manually; Max and Min thresholds can be set to filter out 'non-extreme' readings.
-Note that directionality % can sometimes exceed 100%, in cases where price trends very strongly and gaps up continuously such that sum of constituent candles is less than total range of parent candle.
-Personally i like the idea of seeking bold, large-range, full bodied candles, with a lower than typical directionality %; indicating that a price move is both significant and it's already done it's rebalancing; I would see this as potentially favourable for continuation (obviously depending on context).

Bar composition in 1minute | True candlestick colorThe indicator shows the true color of a bar based on the internal composition on 1 minute timeframe and the final outcome. It uses following parameters of 1minute and current timeframe inputs
relative bar close, average volume vs current volume and finally the volume of internal candles.
It follows following steps:
First, it defines the arrays of high, low, close, volume in one minute timeframe
Second, it identifies the negative and positive volume based on the bar closing at one minute timeframe
Third , it adds all the volume and find whether the overall volume is positive or negative for overall bar in higher timeframe (current timeframe)
Fourth, it compare the volume in current timeframe to average of volume in in current timeframe
Fifth, if relative closing, relative volume (current timeframe) and the combined volume (in 1 minute timeframe) gives same outcome then color of the bar is decided whether the bar is bullish, bearish or inconclusive/contnuation.
Through this you get to check price action in 1minute timeframe and the ultimate outcome in current timeframe. this helps in understanding whether the bar is truly bullish or bearish or continuation of the trend

Weekly and daily separatorsThis script plots vertical line between each trading week (thick, solid) and smaller lines (dotted) between each trading day. This helps kepping a better overview on the aspect of time on the higher timeframes below 1D. The distance of the lines to the top and bottom of the chart is controlled by your chart settings menu under Appearance -> Margins.
T3 OscillatorTL;DR - An Oscillator based on T3 moving average
The T3 moving average is a well known moving average created by Tim TIllson. Oscillator values are created by using the simple formula "source (close by default) - T3 moving average". Tim Tillson used a "volume factor" of 0.7 in his original T3 calculation. I changed this value to 0.618 and added the option to change it if needed/wanted. I also added alarms for zero line crossing upwards and downward, a smoothing option and custom time frames.
Compared to other oscillators like TSI, MACD etc. I observed better signals, especially in trending market situations, from the T3 oscillator (I tested Forex and Crypto).
Usage is simple: If the oscillator is above 0 it indicates a bearish trend. If below 0 it indicates a bullish trend. -> Really simple to use. However it can also be used to determine micro trends and reversals when combined with price action analysis. To keeps things simple I have not added a moving average like many other oscillators because I think it is confusing and does not help (in this particular case).
P.S. I haven't found a T3 oscillator on Trading View. Code is free - do whatever you want with it ;)
ICT Session Opening FVG / Silver Bullet [MK]Students of ICT concepts will know that the first FVG found within particular session periods can identify an important price level for intraday traders.
"Find the first FVG at the start of the session and drag a box from it to the right"....ICT
The script finds the first FVG (either bull or bear) within the following periods:
London Killzone (0200 - 0500) EST
02:00 - 0259
03:00 - 0359
0400 - 0459
Dead Zone (05-00 - 0600) EST
05-00 - 0559
0600 - 0659
NY AM Killzone (0700 - 1100) EST
0700 - 0759
0830 - 0929
0929 - 0959
1000 - 1100 (Silver Bullet)
A chart higher timeframe can be chosen to detect the FVGs and they will be displayed on lower timeframe. Default is 5min for detection. I like to then following price reacting to 5mi FVGs on a 1 min chart.
FVG boxes can be extended to the end of the session, or to any time within the current days trading hours. Colors/Labels/ Session Periods can all be edited. A maximum timeframe for display is available and
timezone can be adjusted.
FVGs are only shown for the current days trading hours.
Daily Gaps & Trapped PositionsThis script builds substantially upon the default Gaps script provided by Tradingview. Functionality was added to allow users to decide what price from the previous session is used to determine a daily gap, added support for showing gaps across all timeframes up to the daily time frame, and also allow gaps to be shown even with ETH enabled on the chart. This script provides support across normal securities, futures, and also crypto.
Users can decide between the following selections to determine if a daily gap has formed:
- Previous Session Close
- Previous Session High/Low
- Last RTH Candle High/Low
The other larger piece that was added is something called trapped positions or what some folks familiar with Market Profile would call "single prints". They could also be considered FVGs but they are a specific subset of FVGs as these must from above or below the current session's high/low.
Single prints form above or below a current session's high/low and can be considered an area where price has moved too fast in that area and price will most likely return to these areas at a later point in time. In some teachings, these are also looked at as "trapped shorts" (lighter blue box color) or "trapped supply" (yellow orange box color) which creates an area where there will be potential support (trapped shorts) or resistance (trapped supply) when this area is revisited in the future. Adding these to your chart will simply provide additional areas of interest where you may see buying or selling.
Both gaps and trapped positions have the following options:
- Show only active gaps/trapped positions. Selecting this will only show areas where price has not completely traded through the box.
- Close gaps/trapped positions partially. If this is selected, it will reduce the box size as price is traded through the area. If it is not selected, the box will only disappear once price has traded through the entire box completely.
There are some additional settings that allow you to tailor how many boxes show up on the chart. These settings are as follows:
- Max number of boxes. This setting will only plot up to this number of gaps/trapped positions.
- Minimum Deviation. This will prevent gaps/trapped positions from showing if they are too small relative to average across that last 14 periods.
- Limit Max Box Trail Length (bars). If checkbox is selected, the box will stop being extended after X number of bars given in this input.
Buy / Sell Fractal Algorithm with SL Line GenerationThis algorithm is designed for usage across indices.
How it works?
The algorithm uses a variation of fractals, momentum, RSI and LRSI to determine a trends direction.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum-based oscillator used to measure the speed (velocity) and change (magnitude) of directional price movements. It provides a visual means to monitor both the current and historical strength and weakness of a particular market. The strength or weakness is based on closing prices over the duration of a specified trading period, creating a reliable metric of price and momentum changes
Momentum in trading refers to the direction and magnitude of price. Momentum plays a key role in assessing trend strength, and it is important to know when a trend is slowing down. Less momentum does not always lead to a reversal, but it does signal that something is changing, and the trend may consolidate or reverse
Fractals are patterns within price changes which are repeated across thousands of bars. Examples of fractals include the golden ratio, PHI and the spirals of the milk way. They are quite literally a universal concept.
Basics of usage:
When a bullish trend is detected; the algorithm will generate a green "SL Line" at a calculated point, which can be interpreted as an invalidation line.
If the price goes below this line, the bullish trend is invalidated. So long as it holds, the bullish trend is true until the next detection change.
When a bearish trend is detected; the algorithm will generate a red "SL Line", at a calculated point, which can be interpreted as an invalidation line.
If the prices goes above this line, the bearish trend is invalidated. So long as it holds, the bearish trend is true until the next detection change.
When a given trend is invalidated, the SL Line turns yellow and you enter a "pause zone", where neither a bearish nor bullish trend is calculated.
This resets itself on the next trend detection.
Additional information:
I have coded my own backtest to this algorithm, along with plotting the profit / loss of each generated trade.
The profit is calculated by the difference between the open bar of the trade after a long ( or short ) and the following trade.
If we are calculating a short, the resulting value is then multiplied by -1 to get a positive integer.
For calculating a loss we take the value of the open bar of the trade that generates a long, and take the difference between this and the SL line, and similarly for short positions. The code assumes the user is placing their SL at the indicated line.
Within the input settings there are a few customisation options:
Alpha & Fractal Energy Length & Source - Should not be changed.
Highly bands crossover? - Has no visible effect whether on or off. It refers to the fractal chart which in this iteration is not visible and rather a backend mechanic.
Apply fractal energy? - Should generally be left turned on. This is a noise reduction. Disabling will result in over-trading.
Apply normalization? - Has no impact, is solely used to make the fractal values more human-readable rather than decimal format.
Offset - refers to the offset value of the SL Line generations. This should be set to a value that gives you enough breathing room, and remember to include any spreads! Default is 0.2, written in %
Trading hours - This simply gives a session input for the trading hours you want to trade within, and then colours the background green for that session. Trading 24/7 is never a wise strategy, stick to whatever is most optimal for you.
Leverage - Whatever leverage you are using. Default is x20. This will affect the profit / loss calculations accordingly.
Start equity - refers to the equity value you want to backtest with. Some assets will generate NA for this in the backtest label explained later.
Label customisation options.
Note that the backtest label is by default hidden, and appears when you hover over the black label at the current bar. When enabled to visible, it will show a large text label that may cover your chart screen more than you wish.
Alerts -
There are dozens of alert functionalities here; first are the timeframe assignments for each alert, set by default to 2hrs.
These timeframes then affect the asset you select in the corresponding setting.
In total there are 8 additional assets you can set alerts for.
Once you have assigned the timeframe and asset for an alert, you can then check the tick box for that individual alert.
Once done, you set the alert as normal through the tradingview alerts window. Remember to set "alert function calls only"
-
Timers:
I have added some functionality for timers to be set, values are in minutes. These work on the exact time of placement. Do not change the extra symbol formula option.
-
Note that this backtest is not intended as a replacement for tradingview backtest, nor is there a guarantee that historical results are to be replicated in the future. Trading is inherently risky.
Higher TimeFrame Smooth Moving AveragesScript is designed for those who dislike how plotting a moving average from a higher timeframe on a lower timeframe chart results in a choppy zigzag line when using the standard request.security(syminfo.ticker,"x",ta.sma(src,len)) method.
My more elegant solution was to translate the chart's current timeframe, and the selected higher timeframe into seconds, then check if selected timeframe is Larger than chart timeframe, but not so large that too many bars would be necessary. Then the quotient is calculated by dividing the chosen timeframe (value in seconds) by the chart's timeframe (value in seconds).
Then take that quotient and multiply it by the chosen length. This gives us how many bars of the chart's timeframe would be used in calculating the higher timeframe Moving Average
Use the value to calculate a moving average of choice (SMA,EMA,WMA,LRC,DEMA,TEMA,TRIMA,FRAMA) thanks to @TradingView 's ta library () and @alexgrover 's () for their functions supporting series as length, making this possible.
Basically, get how many of the current chart's bars are in the higher timeframe moving average and use that as the length for calculation using chart's timeframe.
If the higher timeframe relative is too large relative to chart's timeframe, due to bar referencing limits some combinations may not be possible under current limitations, but most will work by either moving chart's timeframe higher or higher timeframe lower assuming you aren't trying to do something too extreme like plotting a weekly moving average onto a 30 second chart etc.
Dual timeframe calculated candlesA script example to show how you can calculate the value of certain indicators from a higher timeframe at the moment that a bar closes on a shorter timeframe.
In this example the base chart is set to 5 mins and the multiplier is set to 6, so the HTF arrays hold data equivalent to that from the 30 minute chart which will hopefully appear below it on this display.
Each time a 5 minute bar completes, the arrays are updated by checking whether a new high or low has been set. The values for the HTF ATR and EMA are also updated by removing the most recent value from that array and replacing it with the value that would have been calculated based on the close at that time. As such for back testing purposes you'd know exactly what the 30 min chart would have been showing you at any one of the 5 minute intervals. Useful for backtesting strategies if you would rather act on the "up to the minute" HTF data, rather than the HTF data from the last HTF close, which could be significantly delayed if you're using a high enough multiplier.
