Stop Cascade Detector Stop Cascade Detector (DAFE)
Unlock the Hidden Triggers of Market Momentum!
The Stop Cascade Detector (Bull & Bear, Info Bubble) is a next-generation tool designed for traders who want to see what the crowd can’t: the precise moments when clusters of stop orders are being triggered, unleashing explosive moves in either direction. The reason for this is traders taking there position too early. We on the other hand will take our positions once the less informed traders have been liquidated.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Not Just Another Volatility Tool:
This script doesn’t just measure volatility or volume. It detects the chain reactions that occur when price and volume spikes combine to trigger stop-loss clusters—events that often precede the most powerful surges and reversals in any market.
Directional Intelligence:
Unlike generic “spike” detectors, this tool distinguishes between bullish stop cascades (green, above the bar) and bearish stop cascades (red, below the bar), giving you instant clarity on which side of the market is being liquidated.
Visual Precision:
Each event is marked with a color-coded info bubble and a triangle, clearly separated from the price bars for maximum readability. No more guessing where the action is—see it, trade it, and stay ahead.
Universal Application:
Works on any asset, any timeframe, and in any market—futures, stocks, crypto, forex. If there are stops, this indicator will find the cascade.
What makes it work?
Momentum + Volume Spike:
The detector identifies bars where both price momentum and volume are simultaneously extreme (using Z-scores). This combination is a classic signature of stop runs and forced liquidations.
Bull & Bear Detection:
Bull Stop Cascade : Price plunges downward with a volume spike—likely longs getting stopped out.
Bear Stop Cascade: Price surges upward with a volume spike—likely shorts getting stopped out.
Info Bubbles:
Each event is labeled with the exact Z-scores for momentum and volume, so you can gauge the intensity of the cascade at a glance.
What will it do for you?
Front-Run the Crowd:
Most traders react after the move. This tool helps you spot the cause of the move—giving you a tactical edge to fade exhaustion, ride momentum, or avoid getting trapped.
Perfect for Scalpers, Day Traders, and Swing Traders:
Whether you’re looking for high-probability reversals or want to ride the wave, knowing when stops are being triggered is a game-changer.
No More Blind Spots:
Stop cascades are the hidden fuel behind many of the market’s biggest moves. Now you can see them in real time.
How to Use
Red Bubble Above Bar: Bear stop cascade detected—watch for possible trend acceleration or reversal.
Green Bubble Below Bar: Bull stop cascade detected—watch for possible trend acceleration or reversal.
Combine with Your Strategy : Use as a confirmation tool, a reversal signal, or a filter for high-volatility environments. Level up your trading. See the market’s hidden triggers.
Stop Cascade Detector: Because the real edge is knowing what sets the market on fire.

Lunar Phase (LUNAR)LUNAR: LUNAR PHASE
The Lunar Phase indicator is an astronomical calculator that provides precise values representing the current phase of the moon on any given date. Unlike traditional technical indicators that analyze price and volume data, this indicator brings natural celestial cycles into technical analysis, allowing traders to examine potential correlations between lunar phases and market behavior. The indicator outputs a normalized value from 0.0 (new moon) to 1.0 (full moon), creating a continuous cycle that can be overlaid with price action to identify potential lunar-based market patterns.
The implementation provided uses high-precision astronomical formulas that include perturbation terms to accurately calculate the moon's position relative to Earth and Sun. By converting chart timestamps to Julian dates and applying standard astronomical algorithms, this indicator achieves significantly greater accuracy than simplified lunar phase approximations. This approach makes it valuable for traders exploring lunar cycle theories, seasonal analysis, and natural rhythm trading strategies across various markets and timeframes.
🌒 CORE CONCEPTS 🌘
Lunar cycle integration: Brings the 29.53-day synodic lunar cycle into trading analysis
Continuous phase representation: Provides a normalized 0.0-1.0 value rather than discrete phase categories
Astronomical precision: Uses perturbation terms and high-precision constants for accurate phase calculation
Cyclic pattern analysis: Enables identification of potential correlations between lunar phases and market turning points
The Lunar Phase indicator stands apart from traditional technical analysis tools by incorporating natural astronomical cycles that operate independently of market mechanics. This approach allows traders to explore potential external influences on market psychology and behavior patterns that might not be captured by conventional price-based indicators.
Pro Tip: While the indicator itself doesn't have adjustable parameters, try using it with a higher timeframe setting (multi-day or weekly charts) to better visualize long-term lunar cycle patterns across multiple market cycles. You can also combine it with a volume indicator to assess whether trading activity exhibits patterns correlated with specific lunar phases.
🧮 CALCULATION AND MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Simplified explanation:
The Lunar Phase indicator calculates the angular difference between the moon and sun as viewed from Earth, then transforms this angle into a normalized 0-1 value representing the illuminated portion of the moon visible from Earth.
Technical formula:
Convert chart timestamp to Julian Date:
JD = (time / 86400000.0) + 2440587.5
Calculate Time T in Julian centuries since J2000.0:
T = (JD - 2451545.0) / 36525.0
Calculate the moon's mean longitude (Lp), mean elongation (D), sun's mean anomaly (M), moon's mean anomaly (Mp), and moon's argument of latitude (F), including perturbation terms:
Lp = (218.3164477 + 481267.88123421*T - 0.0015786*T² + T³/538841.0 - T⁴/65194000.0) % 360.0
D = (297.8501921 + 445267.1114034*T - 0.0018819*T² + T³/545868.0 - T⁴/113065000.0) % 360.0
M = (357.5291092 + 35999.0502909*T - 0.0001536*T² + T³/24490000.0) % 360.0
Mp = (134.9633964 + 477198.8675055*T + 0.0087414*T² + T³/69699.0 - T⁴/14712000.0) % 360.0
F = (93.2720950 + 483202.0175233*T - 0.0036539*T² - T³/3526000.0 + T⁴/863310000.0) % 360.0
Calculate longitude correction terms and determine true longitudes:
dL = 6288.016*sin(Mp) + 1274.242*sin(2D-Mp) + 658.314*sin(2D) + 214.818*sin(2Mp) + 186.986*sin(M) + 109.154*sin(2F)
L_moon = Lp + dL/1000000.0
L_sun = (280.46646 + 36000.76983*T + 0.0003032*T²) % 360.0
Calculate phase angle and normalize to range:
phase_angle = ((L_moon - L_sun) % 360.0)
phase = (1.0 - cos(phase_angle)) / 2.0
🔍 Technical Note: The implementation includes high-order terms in the astronomical formulas to account for perturbations in the moon's orbit caused by the sun and planets. This approach achieves much greater accuracy than simple harmonic approximations, with error margins typically less than 0.1% compared to ephemeris-based calculations.
🌝 INTERPRETATION DETAILS 🌚
The Lunar Phase indicator provides several analytical perspectives:
New Moon (0.0-0.1, 0.9-1.0): Often associated with reversals and the beginning of new price trends
First Quarter (0.2-0.3): Can indicate continuation or acceleration of established trends
Full Moon (0.45-0.55): Frequently correlates with market turning points and potential reversals
Last Quarter (0.7-0.8): May signal consolidation or preparation for new market moves
Cycle alignment: When market cycles align with lunar cycles, the effect may be amplified
Phase transition timing: Changes between lunar phases can coincide with shifts in market sentiment
Volume correlation: Some markets show increased volatility around full and new moons
⚠️ LIMITATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
Correlation vs. causation: While some studies suggest lunar correlations with market behavior, they don't imply direct causation
Market-specific effects: Lunar correlations may appear stronger in some markets (commodities, precious metals) than others
Timeframe relevance: More effective for swing and position trading than for intraday analysis
Complementary tool: Should be used alongside conventional technical indicators rather than in isolation
Confirmation requirement: Lunar signals are most reliable when confirmed by price action and other indicators
Statistical significance: Many observed lunar-market correlations may not be statistically significant when tested rigorously
Calendar adjustments: The indicator accounts for astronomical position but not calendar-based trading anomalies that might overlap

StonkGame AutoLevels+Hey gang — made a new levels script to automatically plot the ones I use the most.
StonkGame AutoLevels+ automatically plots structural price levels from major timeframes — including Yesterday, Last Week, Last Month, Last Quarter, and Last Year — with the option to include up to 6 months of historical monthly open, high, low, and close levels.
Everything’s fully customizable. You pick which timeframes to show, which price types (O/H/L/C) matter, and where the labels appear. Highs are red, lows are lime. Monthly opens are fuchsia, closes are purple — easy to separate at a glance.
Labels auto-stagger to reduce clutter and can be positioned left, right, or center — or turned off completely. You also control how far they sit from price.
The screenshot shows everything turned on just to demo the range — but in practice, I usually stick with the standard levels like Last Week or Last Month, and only show highs and lows (they define structure best IMO).
Clean, contextual, and built for traders who want clarity without noise.
Rube Goldberg Top/Bottom Finder [theUltimator5]This is what I call the Rube Goldberg Top and Bottom Finder. It is an overly complex method of plotting a simple buy or sell label on a chart.
I utilize several standard TA techniques along with several of my own to try and locate ideal Buy/Sell conditions. I came up with the name because there are way too many conditional variables to come up with a single buy or sell condition, when most standard indicators use simple crossovers or levels.
There are two unique triggers that are calculated using completely independent techniques. If both triggers turn true within a small timeframe between each other, the buy/sell trigger turns true and plots a "buy" or "sell" label on the chart.
This indicator was designed to be fully functioning out of the box and can be customized only if the user wishes to. It is effective on all timeframes, but longer timeframes (daily +) may require signal length adjustment for best results.
imgur.com
The signals used in the leading trigger are as follows:
(1)RSI
The user can select among any of the following moving averages (base is EMA) (#3) , and have an RSI generated at a user defined length (base is 14). (#4)
SMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, WMA, VWMA, SMMA, HMA, LSMA, ALMA
The user can select whether or not the RSI is filtered with the following options:
None, Kalman, Double EMA, ALMA
The filter conditions are hard coded to minimize the amount of selections that the user is required to make to reduce the user interface complexity.
The user can define overbought (base 70) and oversold (base 30) conditions. (#2)
When the RSI crosses above or below the threshold values, the plot will turn red. This creates condition 1 of the leading trigger.
(2) ADX and DI
This portion of the indicator is a derivative of my ADX Divergence and Gap Monitor indicator.
This technique looks at the ADX value as well as for spikes in either +DI or -DI for large divergences. When the ADX reaches a certain threshold and also outpaces a preset ADX moving average, this creates condition 2 of the leading trigger.
There is an additional built-in functionality in this portion of the indicator that looks for gaps. It triggers when the ADX is below a certain threshold value and either the +DI or -DI spike above a certain threshold value, indicating a sudden gap in price after a period of low volatility.
The user can set whether or nor to show when a gap appears on the chart or as a label on the plot below the chart (disabled by default) . If the user chooses to overlay gaps on the chart, it creates a horizontal fill showing the starting point of the gap. The theory here is that the price will return at some point in the near future to the starting point of the gap.

(3) DI based Multi-Symbol reference and divergence
Part of the script computes both the +DI (positive directional index) and -DI (negative directional index) for the currently selected chart symbol and three reference symbols.
The averaged directional move of the reference symbols are compared to the current ticker on your chart and if the divergence exceeds a certain threshold, then the third condition of the trigger is met.
The components that are referenced are based on what stock/chart you are looking at. The script automatically detects if you are looking at a crypto, and uses a user selectable toggle between Large Cap or Small Cap. (#1) The threshold levels are determined by the asset type and market cap.
The leading trigger highlights under several conditions:
1) All (3) portions of the trigger result in true simultaneously
OR
2) Any of triggers 2 or 3 reach a certain threshold that indicates extreme market/price divergence as well as trigger 1 being overbought or oversold.
AND
3) If the trigger didn't highlight
For the lagging part of the trigger:
The lagging trigger is used as a confirmation after the leading trigger to indicate a possible optimized entry/exit point. It can also be used by itself, as well as the leading indicator.
The lagging indicator utilizes the parabolic Stop And Reverse (SAR). It utilizes the RSI length that is defined in portion 1 of the leading trigger as well as the overbought and oversold thresholds. I have found excellent results in catching reversals because it catches rate-of-change events rather than price reversals alone.
imgur.com
When both the leading triggers FOLLOWED BY the lagging trigger result in true within a user defined timeframe, then the buy or sell trigger results in true, plotting a label on the chart.
All portions of the leading and lagging indicators can be toggled on or off, but most of them are toggled off by default in order to reduce noise on the plot.
imgur.com
The leading, lagging, and buy/sell triggers each have built-in alerts that can be toggled on or off in the alert menu.
I have an optional built-in toggle to show green or red dots on the RSI line using two separate RSI lengths that are amplified and plot based on RSI divergence and strength. This can be used as a visual confirmation (or rejection) against the chart overlay plots.
imgur.com
This indicator is not a strategy, so there are no built-in exits or stop losses.

Inside Bar (Body-based) Ind/AlertDescription:
This indicator detects Inside Bar patterns based strictly on the candle body (open/close range) of the mother candle, rather than the traditional high/low wick method. An inside bar is highlighted when the current candle’s entire body is contained within the body of the previous candle.
It can be useful for traders who want a more conservative and reliable definition of inside bars, focusing on true consolidation periods and filtering out signals caused by extended wicks.
Features:
Body-based Inside Bar detection:
The indicator colors and marks candles where the current bar’s body is fully within the previous bar’s body.
Bullish/Bearish identification:
Bullish inside bars are marked in green, bearish in red.
Double Inside Bar Detection:
An optional feature marks when two consecutive candles’ bodies are inside the same mother bar body—potentially indicating stronger consolidation.
Alerts:
Set alerts for single or double inside bars for automated monitoring.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to your chart.
Look for colored bars or plotted shapes for inside bar signals based on candle bodies.
Use alerts to get notified in real time when inside bar patterns appear.
Note:
This script uses only the candle body (open and close) for inside bar calculations, which may help filter out less reliable signals found with wick-based approaches.
Stochastic RainbowThe Stochastic Rainbow indicator is a multi-layered momentum oscillator designed to provide a comprehensive view of market dynamics by combining multiple stochastic oscillators of varying periods. This approach allows traders to analyze both short-term and long-term momentum within a single visual framework, enhancing decision-making for entries and exits.
🔧 Indicator Settings and Customization
Select from various moving average methods (e.g., SMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, WMA, VWMA, RMA, T3) to smooth the stochastic lines. Different methods can affect the responsiveness of the indicator.
The indicator computes five sets of stochastic oscillators with Fibonacci values.
Each %K line is smoothed using the selected moving average type, and a corresponding %D line is plotted for each %K.
🎨 Visual Interpretation
The Stochastic Rainbow indicator plots multiple %K and %D lines, each with distinct colors for easy differentiation.
Additionally, horizontal dotted lines are drawn at levels 80 (Upper Band), 50 (Midline), and 20 (Lower Band) to indicate overbought, neutral, and oversold conditions, respectively.
📈 Trading Strategies Using Stochastic Rainbow
The multi-layered structure of the Stochastic Rainbow allows for nuanced analysis.
Trend Confirmation:
When all %K lines are above 50 and aligned in ascending order (short-term above long-term), it suggests a strong uptrend.
Conversely, when all %K lines are below 50 and aligned in descending order, it indicates a strong downtrend.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions:
If the shorter-term %K lines (e.g., %K 5,3 and %K 8,3) enter the overbought zone (>80) while longer-term lines remain below, it may signal a potential reversal.
Similarly, if shorter-term lines enter the oversold zone (<20) while longer-term lines remain above, it could indicate an upcoming bullish reversal.
Crossovers:
A bullish signal occurs when a %K line crosses above its corresponding %D line.
A bearish signal occurs when a %K line crosses below its corresponding %D line.
Divergence Analysis:
If price makes a new high while the %K lines do not, it may indicate bearish divergence and a potential reversal.
If price makes a new low while the %K lines do not, it may indicate bullish divergence and a potential reversal.
⚙️ Adjusting Settings for Optimal Use
The Stochastic Rainbow's flexibility allows traders to adjust settings to match their trading style and the specific asset's behavior:
Short-Term Trading: Use shorter periods (e.g., 5 for %K) and more responsive moving averages (e.g., WMA, VWMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, HMA) to capture quick market movements.
Long-Term Trading: Opt for longer periods (e.g., 55 for %K) and smoother moving averages (e.g., SMA, RMA, T3) to filter out noise and focus on broader trends.
Volatile Markets: Consider using the T3 moving average for its smoothing capabilities, helping to reduce false signals in choppy markets.
By experimenting with different settings, traders can fine-tune the indicator to better suit their analysis and improve decision-making.
Volume Flow OscillatorVolume Flow Oscillator
Overview
The Volume Flow Oscillator is an advanced technical analysis tool that measures buying and selling pressure by combining price direction with volume. Unlike traditional volume indicators, this oscillator reveals the force behind price movements, helping traders identify strong trends, potential reversals, and divergences between price and volume.
Reading the Indicator
The oscillator displays seven colored bands that fluctuate around a zero line:
Three bands above zero (yellow) indicate increasing levels of buying pressure
Three bands below zero (red) indicate increasing levels of selling pressure
The central band represents the baseline volume flow
Color intensity changes based on whether values are positive or negative
Trading Signals
The Volume Flow Oscillator provides several valuable trading signals:
Zero-line crossovers: When multiple bands cross from negative to positive, potential bullish shift; opposite for bearish
Divergences: When price makes new highs/lows but oscillator bands fail to confirm, signals potential reversal
Volume climax: Extreme readings where outer bands stretch far from zero often precede reversals
Trend confirmation: Strong expansion of bands in direction of price movement confirms genuine momentum
Support/resistance: During trends, bands may remain largely on one side of zero, showing continued directional pressure
Customization
Adjust these key parameters to optimize the oscillator for your trading style:
Lookback Length: Controls overall sensitivity (shorter = more responsive, longer = smoother)
Multipliers: Adjust sensitivity spread between bands for different market conditions
ALMA Settings: Fine-tune how the indicator weights recent versus historical data
VWMA Toggle: Enable for additional smoothing in volatile markets
Best Practices
For optimal results, use this oscillator in conjunction with price action and other confirmation indicators. The multi-band approach helps distinguish between minor fluctuations and significant volume events that might signal important market turns.
VolumeFlowOscillatorLibVolume Flow Oscillator Library
Overview
The Volume Flow Oscillator library provides a comprehensive framework for analyzing directional volume flow in financial markets. It creates a multi-band oscillator system that transforms price and volume data into a spectrum of sensitivity bands, revealing the underlying buying and selling pressure.
Technical Approach
The library combines price direction with trading volume to generate an oscillator that fluctuates around a zero line, with positive values indicating buying pressure and negative values showing selling pressure. Using sophisticated ALMA (Arnaud Legoux Moving Average) smoothing techniques with asymmetric sensitivity, the library creates seven distinct bands that help identify various intensity levels of volume flow.
Key Features
Multi-band oscillator system with seven sensitivity levels
Directional volume flow analysis combining price movement and volume
Zero-line oscillation showing the balance between buying and selling pressure
Asymmetric ALMA smoothing for different sensitivity on positive/negative bands
Customizable lookback periods and multipliers for fine-tuning
Color-coded visualization for intuitive chart reading
Applications
This library offers developers a versatile foundation for creating volume-based indicators that go beyond simple volume measurement to reveal the directional force behind market movements. Ideal for confirming price trends, detecting divergences, identifying volume climaxes, and assessing overall market strength.
%MAThis indicator is designed to plot a Simple Moving Average (SMA) along with customizable upper and lower bands (% up/down) on a TradingView chart. Here's a brief but thorough explanation of its functionality:
TL;DR: This script shows percentages above and below customizable moving average timeframes & legnths. It's unique in the sense that it isn't on a separate pane & gives visual clarity against the price in real time HLOC.
1. Main SMA Plot
The script calculates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) based on user-defined inputs:
Timeframe: E.g., daily ("Daily") by default.
Length: E.g., 50 periods by default.
Color: Customizable by the user.
This SMA acts as the central reference line and can be toggled on or off using a "Show" option.
2. Upper and Lower Bands
The script generates two upper bands and two lower bands around the main SMA.
Each band is derived from an SMA (calculated similarly to the main SMA) and offset by a percentage:
Upper Bands: SMA × (1 + distance percentage / 100), e.g., SMA × 1.05 for a 5% offset.
Lower Bands: SMA × (1 - distance percentage / 100), e.g., SMA × 0.95 for a 5% offset.
These bands can indicate potential support, resistance, or volatility ranges.
3. Customization
Users can independently configure:
Visibility: Toggle each band and the main SMA on or off.
Timeframe: Set the timeframe for each SMA calculation.
Length: Define the SMA period.
Distance Percentage: Adjust the offset for each band.
Color: Choose colors for all plotted lines.
This flexibility allows tailored analysis for different trading strategies or timeframes.
4. Plotting
The main SMA and each band are plotted using TradingView’s plot function, but only if their respective "Show" options are enabled.
Lines are displayed with user-specified colors and styles (e.g., the main SMA has a linewidth of 2).
Purpose
This script provides a versatile tool for technical analysis, enabling traders to visualize an SMA with percentage-based bands to identify key price levels or ranges, such as support/resistance, volatility zones, and trends, with extensive customization options.
Macd, Wt Cross & HVPMacd Wt Cross & HVP – Advanced Multi-Signal Indicator
This script is a custom-designed multi-signal indicator that brings together three proven concepts to provide a complete view of market momentum, reversals, and volatility build-ups. It is built for traders who want to anticipate key market moves, not just react to them.
Why This Combination ?
While each tool has its strengths, their combined use creates powerful signal confluence.
Instead of juggling multiple indicators separately, this script synchronizes three key perspectives into a single, intuitive display—helping you trade with greater clarity and confidence.
1. MACD Histogram – Momentum and Trend Clarity
At the core of the indicator is the MACD histogram, calculated as the difference between two exponential moving averages (EMAs).
Color-coded bars represent momentum direction and intensity:
Green / blue bars: bullish momentum
Red / pink bars: bearish momentum
Color intensity shows acceleration or weakening of trend.
This visual makes it easy to detect trend shifts and momentum divergence at a glance.
2. WT Cross Signals – Early Reversal Detection
Overlaid on the histogram are green and red dots, based on the logic of the WaveTrend oscillator cross:
Green dots = potential bullish cross (buy signal)
Red dots = potential bearish cross (sell signal)
These signals are helpful for identifying reversal points during both trending and ranging phases.
3. Historical Volatility Percentile (HVP) – Volatility Compression Zones
Behind the histogram, purple vertical zones highlight periods of low historical volatility, based on the HVP:
When volatility compresses below a specific threshold, these zones appear.
Such periods are often followed by explosive price moves, making them prime areas for pre-breakout positioning.
By integrating HVP, the script doesn’t just tell you where the trend is—it tells you when the trend is likely to erupt.
How to Use This Script
Use the MACD histogram to confirm the dominant trend and its strength.
Watch for WT Cross dots as potential entry/exit signals in alignment or divergence with the MACD.
Monitor HVP purple zones as warnings of incoming volatility expansions—ideal moments to prepare for breakout trades.
Best results occur when all three elements align, offering a high-probability trade setup.
What Makes This Script Original?
Unlike many mashups, this script was not created by simply merging indicators. Each component was carefully integrated to serve a specific, complementary purpose:
MACD detects directional bias
WT Cross adds precision timing
HVP anticipates volatility-based breakout timing
This results in a strategic tool for traders, useful on multiple timeframes and adaptable to different trading styles (trend-following, breakout, swing).
Stochastic XThe "Stochastic X" script is a customizable momentum oscillator designed to help traders identify potential overbought and oversold conditions, as well as trend reversals, by analyzing the relationship between a security's closing price and its price range over a specified period. This indicator is particularly useful for traders looking to fine-tune their entry and exit points based on momentum shifts.
🔧 Indicator Settings and Customization
The script offers several user-configurable settings to tailor the indicator to specific trading strategies:
In addition to the source type, %K Period, %D Period, and Signal line periods you can now change moving average calculation for the stochastic and signal lines.
This script allows selection among various moving average methods (e.g., SMA, EMA, WMA, T3) for smoothing the %K and signal lines. Different methods can affect the responsiveness of the indicator.
🎨 Interpreting Background Colors
The script enhances visual analysis by changing the background color of the indicator panel based on the %K line's value:
Green Background: Indicates that the %K line is above 50, suggesting bullish momentum.
Red Background: Signifies that the %K line is below 50, pointing to bearish momentum.
Light Green Overlay: Appears when the %K line exceeds 80, highlighting overbought conditions.
Light Red Overlay: Shows up when the %K line falls below 20, indicating oversold conditions.
These visual cues assist traders in quickly assessing market momentum and potential reversal.
📈 Trading Strategies Using Stochastic X
Traders can utilize the Stochastic X indicator in various ways:
Overbought/Oversold Conditions:
A %K value above 80 may suggest that the asset is overbought, potentially signaling a price correction.
A %K value below 20 could indicate that the asset is oversold, possibly leading to a price rebound.
Signal Line Crossovers:
When the %K line crosses above the signal line, it may be interpreted as a bullish signal.
Conversely, a %K line crossing below the signal line might be seen as a bearish signal.
Divergence Analysis:
If the price makes a new high while the %K line does not, this bearish divergence could precede a price decline.
If the price hits a new low but the %K line forms a higher low, this bullish divergence might signal an upcoming price increase.
Trend Confirmation:
Sustained %K values above 50 can confirm an uptrend.
Persistent %K values below 50 may validate a downtrend.
In this chart, observe how the background colors change in response to the %K line's value, providing immediate visual feedback on market conditions. The crossovers between the %K and signal lines offer potential entry and exit points, while the overbought and oversold overlays help identify possible reversal zones.
⚙️ Adjusting Settings for Optimal Use
The Stochastic X indicator's flexibility allows traders to adjust settings to match their trading style and the specific asset's behavior:
Short-Term Trading: Use shorter periods (e.g., 5 for %K) and more responsive moving averages (e.g., WMA, VWMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, HMA) to capture quick market movements.
Long-Term Trading: Opt for longer periods (e.g., 14 for %K) and smoother moving averages (e.g., SMA, RMA, T3) to filter out noise and focus on broader trends.
Volatile Markets: Consider using the T3 moving average for its smoothing capabilities, helping to reduce false signals in choppy markets.
By experimenting with different settings, traders can fine-tune the indicator to better suit their analysis and improve decision-making.

Enigma Sniper 369The "Enigma Sniper 369" is a custom-built Pine Script indicator designed for TradingView, tailored specifically for forex traders seeking high-probability entries during high-volatility market sessions.
Unlike generic trend-following or scalping tools, this indicator uniquely combines session-based "kill zones" (London and US sessions), momentum-based candle analysis, and an optional EMA trend filter to pinpoint liquidity grabs and reversal opportunities.
Its originality lies in its focus on liquidity hunting—identifying levels where stop losses are likely clustered (around swing highs/lows and wick midpoints)—and providing visual entry zones that are dynamically removed once price breaches them, reducing clutter and focusing on actionable signals.
The name "369" reflects the structured approach of three key components (session timing, candle logic, and trend filter) working in harmony to snipe precise entries.
What It Does
"Enigma Sniper 369" identifies potential buy and sell opportunities by drawing two types of horizontal lines on the chart during user-defined London and US
session kill zones:
Solid Lines: Mark the swing low (for buys) or swing high (for sells) of a trigger candle, indicating a potential entry point where stop losses might be clustered.
Dotted Lines: Mark the 50% level of the candle’s wick (lower wick for buys, upper wick for sells), serving as a secondary confirmation zone for entries or tighter stop-loss placement.
These lines are plotted only when specific candle conditions are met within the kill zones, and they are automatically deleted once the price crosses them, signaling that the liquidity at that level has likely been grabbed. The indicator also includes an optional EMA filter to ensure trades align with the broader trend, reducing false signals in choppy markets.
How It Works
The indicator’s logic is built on a multi-layered approach:
Kill Zone Timing: Trades are only considered during user-defined London and US session hours (e.g., London from 02:00 to 12:00 UTC, as seen in the screenshots). These sessions are known for high volatility and liquidity, making them ideal for capturing institutional moves.
Candle-Based Momentum Logic:
Buy Signal: A candle must close above its midpoint (indicating bullish momentum) and have a lower low than the previous candle (suggesting a potential liquidity grab below the previous swing low). This is expressed as close > (high + low) / 2 and low < low .
Sell Signal: A candle must close below its midpoint (bearish momentum) and have a higher high than the previous candle (indicating a potential liquidity grab above the previous swing high), expressed as close < (high + low) / 2 and high > high .
These conditions ensure the indicator targets candles that break recent structure to hunt stop losses while showing directional momentum.
Optional EMA Filter: A 50-period EMA (customizable) can be enabled to filter signals based on trend direction.
Buy signals are only generated if the EMA is trending upward (ema_value > ema_value ), and sell signals require a downward EMA trend (ema_value < ema_value ). This reduces noise by aligning entries with the broader market trend.
Liquidity Levels and Deletion Logic:
For a buy signal, a solid green line is drawn at the candle’s low, and a dotted green line at the 50% level of the lower wick (from the candle body’s bottom to the low).
For a sell signal, a solid red line is drawn at the candle’s high, and a dotted red line at the 50% level of the upper wick (from the body’s top to the high).
These lines extend to the right until the price crosses them, at which point they are deleted, indicating the liquidity at that level has been taken (e.g., stop losses triggered).
Alerts: The indicator includes alert conditions for buy and sell signals, notifying traders when a new setup is identified.
Underlying Concepts
The indicator is grounded in the concept of liquidity hunting, a strategy often employed by institutional traders. Markets frequently move to levels where stop losses are clustered—typically just beyond swing highs or lows—before reversing in the opposite direction. The "Enigma Sniper 369" targets these moves by identifying candles that break structure (e.g., a lower low or higher high) during high-volatility sessions, suggesting a potential sweep of stop losses. The 50% wick level acts as a secondary confirmation, as this midpoint often represents a zone where tighter stop losses are placed by retail traders. The optional EMA filter adds a trend-following element, ensuring entries are taken in the direction of the broader market momentum, which is particularly useful on lower timeframes like the 15-minute chart shown in the screenshots.
How to Use It
Here’s a step-by-step guide based on the provided usage example on the GBP/USD 15-minute chart:
Setup the Indicator: Add "Enigma Sniper 369" to your TradingView chart. Adjust the London and US session hours to match your timezone (e.g., London from 02:00 to 12:00 UTC, US from 13:00 to 22:00 UTC). Customize the EMA period (default 50) and line styles/colors if desired.
Identify Kill Zones: The indicator highlights the London session in light green and the US session in light purple, as seen in the screenshots. Focus on these periods for signals, as they are the most volatile and likely to produce liquidity grabs.
Wait for a Signal: Look for solid and dotted lines to appear during the kill zones:
Buy Setup: A solid green line at the swing low and a dotted green line at the 50% lower wick level indicate a potential buy. This suggests the market may have grabbed liquidity below the swing low and is now poised to move higher.
Sell Setup: A solid red line at the swing high and a dotted red line at the 50% upper wick level indicate a potential sell, suggesting liquidity was taken above the swing high.
Place Your Trade:
For a buy, set a buy limit order at the dotted green line (50% wick level), as this is a more conservative entry point. Place your stop loss just below the solid green line (swing low) to cover the full swing. For example, in the screenshots, the market retraces to the dotted line at 1.32980 after a liquidity grab below the swing low, triggering a buy limit order.
For a sell, set a sell limit order at the dotted red line, with a stop loss just above the solid red line.
Monitor Price Action: Once the price crosses a line, it is deleted, indicating the liquidity at that level has been taken. In the screenshots, after the buy limit is triggered, the market moves higher, confirming the setup. The caption notes, “The market returns and tags us in long with a buy limit,” highlighting this retracement strategy.
Additional Context: Use the indicator to identify liquidity levels that may be targeted later. For example, the screenshot notes, “If a new session is about to open I will wait for the grab liquidity to go long,” showing how the indicator can be used to anticipate future moves at session opens (e.g., London open at 1.32980).
Risk Management: Always set a stop loss below the swing low (for buys) or above the swing high (for sells) to protect against adverse moves. The 50% wick level helps tighten entries, improving the risk-reward ratio.
Practical Example
On the GBP/USD 15-minute chart, during the London session (02:00 UTC), the indicator identifies a buy setup with a solid green line at 1.32901 (swing low) and a dotted green line at 1.32980 (50% wick level). The market initially dips below the swing low, grabbing liquidity, then retraces to the dotted line, triggering a buy limit order. The price subsequently rises to 1.33404, yielding a profitable trade. The user notes, “The logic is in the last candle it provides new level to go long,” emphasizing the indicator’s ability to identify fresh levels after a liquidity sweep.
Customization Tips
Adjust the EMA period to suit your timeframe (e.g., a shorter period like 20 for faster signals on lower timeframes).
Modify the session hours to align with your broker’s timezone or specific market conditions.
Use the alert feature to get notified of new setups without constantly monitoring the chart.
Why It’s Useful for Traders
The "Enigma Sniper 369" stands out by combining session timing, momentum-based candle analysis, and liquidity hunting into a single tool. It provides clear, actionable levels for entries and stop losses, removes invalid signals dynamically, and aligns trades with high-probability market conditions. Whether you’re a scalper looking for quick moves during London open or a swing trader targeting session-based reversals, this indicator offers a structured, data-driven approach to trading.
Solar Cycle (SOLAR)SOLAR: SOLAR CYCLE
🔍 OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE
The Solar Cycle indicator is an astronomical calculator that provides precise values representing the seasonal position of the Sun throughout the year. This indicator maps the Sun's position in the ecliptic to a normalized value ranging from -1.0 (winter solstice) through 0.0 (equinoxes) to +1.0 (summer solstice), creating a continuous cycle that represents the seasonal progression throughout the year.
The implementation uses high-precision astronomical formulas that include orbital elements and perturbation terms to accurately calculate the Sun's position. By converting chart timestamps to Julian dates and applying standard astronomical algorithms, this indicator achieves significantly greater accuracy than simplified seasonal approximations. This makes it valuable for traders exploring seasonal patterns, agricultural commodities trading, and natural cycle-based trading strategies.
🧩 CORE CONCEPTS
Seasonal cycle integration: Maps the annual solar cycle (365.242 days) to a continuous wave
Continuous phase representation: Provides a normalized -1.0 to +1.0 value
Astronomical precision: Uses perturbation terms and high-precision constants for accurate solar position
Key points detection: Identifies solstices (±1.0) and equinoxes (0.0) automatically
The Solar Cycle indicator differs from traditional seasonal analysis tools by incorporating precise astronomical calculations rather than using simple calendar-based approximations. This approach allows traders to identify exact seasonal turning points and transitions with high accuracy.
⚙️ COMMON SETTINGS AND PARAMETERS
Pro Tip: While the indicator itself doesn't have adjustable parameters, it's most effective when used on higher timeframes (daily or weekly charts) to visualize seasonal patterns. Consider combining it with commodity price data to analyze seasonal correlations.
🧮 CALCULATION AND MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Simplified explanation:
The Solar Cycle indicator calculates the Sun's ecliptic longitude and transforms it into a sine wave that peaks at the summer solstice and troughs at the winter solstice, with equinoxes at the zero crossings.
Technical formula:
Convert chart timestamp to Julian Date:
JD = (time / 86400000.0) + 2440587.5
Calculate Time T in Julian centuries since J2000.0:
T = (JD - 2451545.0) / 36525.0
Calculate the Sun's mean longitude (L0) and mean anomaly (M), including perturbation terms:
L0 = (280.46646 + 36000.76983T + 0.0003032T²) % 360
M = (357.52911 + 35999.05029T - 0.0001537T² - 0.00000025T³) % 360
Calculate the equation of center (C):
C = (1.914602 - 0.004817T - 0.000014*T²)sin(M) +
(0.019993 - 0.000101T)sin(2M) +
0.000289sin(3M)
Calculate the Sun's true longitude and convert to seasonal value:
λ = L0 + C
seasonal = sin(λ)
🔍 Technical Note: The implementation includes terms for the equation of center to account for the Earth's elliptical orbit. This provides more accurate timing of solstices and equinoxes compared to simple harmonic approximations.
📈 INTERPRETATION DETAILS
The Solar Cycle indicator provides several analytical perspectives:
Summer Solstice (+1.0): Maximum solar elevation, longest day
Winter Solstice (-1.0): Minimum solar elevation, shortest day
Vernal Equinox (0.0 crossing up): Day and night equal length, spring begins
Autumnal Equinox (0.0 crossing down): Day and night equal length, autumn begins
Transition rates: Steepest near equinoxes, flattest near solstices
Cycle alignment: Market cycles that align with seasonal patterns may show stronger trends
Confirmation points: Solstices and equinoxes often mark important seasonal turning points
⚠️ LIMITATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
Geographic relevance: Solar cycle timing is most relevant for temperate latitudes
Market specificity: Seasonal effects vary significantly across different markets
Timeframe compatibility: Most effective for longer-term analysis (weekly/monthly)
Complementary tool: Should be used alongside price action and other indicators
Lead/lag effects: Market reactions to seasonal changes may precede or follow astronomical events
Statistical significance: Seasonal patterns should be verified across multiple years
Global markets: Consider opposite seasonality in Southern Hemisphere markets

Multi Timeframe BiasYo what's up this is my first indicator that I have ever posted.
Basically it detects the most recent ChoCH (Bullish or Bearish) for the 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1D, and 1W timeframes and organizes them in a table in the top right. Let me know if yall would like anything added to this. Im new to this my code might be bad but it appears to be working haha.
Simple Volatility ConeThe Simple Volatility Cone indicator projects the potential future price range of a stock based on recent volatility. It calculates rolling standard deviation from log returns over a defined window, then uses a confidence interval to estimate the upper and lower bounds the price could reach over a future time horizon. These bounds are plotted directly on the chart, offset into the future, allowing traders to visualize expected price dispersion under a geometric Brownian motion assumption. This tool is useful for risk management, trade planning, and visualizing the potential impact of volatility.
Elliott Wave Noise FilterElliott Wave Noise Filter
Overview
The Elliott Wave Noise Filter is a specialized indicator for TradingView, designed to solve one of the biggest challenges in Elliott Wave analysis on lower timeframes: the identification of market noise. By combining multiple advanced filtering techniques, this indicator helps distinguish meaningful price action from random fluctuations.
The Problem
On lower timeframes—especially below 15 minutes—Elliott Wave analysis is significantly impacted by excessive market noise. This noise can lead to misinterpretation of wave structures, making it difficult to execute reliable trading decisions.
The Solution
The Elliott Wave Noise Filter utilizes four powerful methods to detect and filter noise:
ATR-Based Volatility Analysis: Identifies price movements too small to be structurally meaningful
Volume Confirmation: Filters out price moves that occur with insufficient volume
Trend Strength Measurement (ADX): Detects periods of weak trend activity, where noise tends to dominate
Fractal Pattern Recognition: Marks significant turning points that could be relevant for Elliott Wave analysis
Features
Visual Indicators
Background Coloring: Red indicates noise; green signifies a clear signal
Hull Moving Average: Smooths price action and highlights the prevailing trend
Fractal Markers: Triangles mark significant highs and lows
Status Panel: Displays current noise status and ADX value
Customization Options
ATR Period: Adjust the lookback period for ATR calculations
Noise Threshold: Defines the percentage of ATR below which a movement is considered noise
Volume Filter: Can be enabled or disabled
Volume Threshold: Sets the ratio to average volume for a move to be deemed significant
Hull MA Display and Length: Configure the moving average settings
ADX Parameters: Adjust trend strength sensitivity
Use Cases
For Elliott Wave Analysis
Eliminate noise to identify cleaner wave structures
Use fractal markers as potential wave endpoints
Reference the Hull MA for determining the broader trend
For General Trading
Identify high-noise periods to avoid low-quality setups
Spot clearer market phases for better entries
Assess price action quality through visual cues
Multi-Timeframe Approach
Apply the indicator across different timeframes for a comprehensive view
Prefer trading when both higher and lower timeframes align with consistent signals
Optimal Settings
For Very Short Timeframes (1–5 minutes)
Higher Noise Threshold (0.4–0.5)
Longer ATR Period (20–30)
Higher Volume Threshold (1.0–1.2)
For Medium Timeframes (15–60 minutes)
Medium Noise Threshold (0.2–0.3)
Standard ATR Period (14)
Standard Volume Threshold (0.8)
For Higher Timeframes (4h and above)
Lower Noise Threshold (0.1–0.2)
Shorter ATR Period (10)
Lower Volume Threshold (0.6–0.7)
Conclusion
The Elliott Wave Noise Filter is an essential tool for any Elliott Wave analyst or trader working on lower timeframes. By reducing noise and emphasizing significant market movements, it enables more precise analysis and potentially more profitable trading decisions.
Note: As with any technical indicator, the Elliott Wave Noise Filter should be used as part of a broader trading strategy and not as a standalone signal for trade execution.

Ehlers Ultimate Bands (UBANDS)UBANDS: ULTIMATE BANDS
🔍 OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE
Ultimate Bands, developed by John F. Ehlers, are a volatility-based channel indicator designed to provide a responsive and smooth representation of price boundaries with significantly reduced lag compared to traditional Bollinger Bands. Bollinger Bands typically use a Simple Moving Average for the centerline and standard deviations from it to establish the bands, both of which can increase lag. Ultimate Bands address this by employing Ehlers' Ultrasmooth Filter for the central moving average. The bands are then plotted based on the volatility of price around this ultrasmooth centerline.
The primary purpose of Ultimate Bands is to offer traders a clearer view of potential support and resistance levels that react quickly to price changes while filtering out excessive noise, aiming for nearly zero lag in the indicator band.
🧩 CORE CONCEPTS
Ultrasmooth Centerline: Employs the Ehlers Ultrasmooth Filter as the basis (centerline) for the bands, aiming for minimal lag and enhanced smoothing.
Volatility-Adaptive Width: The distance between the upper and lower bands is determined by a measure of price deviation from the ultrasmooth centerline. This causes the bands to widen during volatile periods and contract during calm periods.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: The bands serve as dynamic levels of potential support (lower band) and resistance (upper band).
🧮 CALCULATION AND MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Ehlers' Original Concept for Deviation:
John Ehlers describes the deviation calculation as: "The deviation at each data sample is the difference between Smooth and the Close at that data point. The Standard Deviation (SD) is computed as the square root of the average of the squares of the individual deviations."
This describes calculating the Root Mean Square (RMS) of the residuals:
Smooth = UltrasmoothFilter(Source, Length)
Residuals = Source - Smooth
SumOfSquaredResiduals = Sum(Residuals ^2) for i over Length
MeanOfSquaredResiduals = SumOfSquaredResiduals / Length
SD_Ehlers = SquareRoot(MeanOfSquaredResiduals) (This is the RMS of residuals)
Pine Script Implementation's Deviation:
The provided Pine Script implementation calculates the statistical standard deviation of the residuals:
Smooth = UltrasmoothFilter(Source, Length) (referred to as _ehusf in the script)
Residuals = Source - Smooth
Mean_Residuals = Average(Residuals, Length)
Variance_Residuals = Average((Residuals - Mean_Residuals)^2, Length)
SD_Pine = SquareRoot(Variance_Residuals) (This is the statistical standard deviation of residuals)
Band Calculation (Common to both approaches, using their respective SD):
UpperBand = Smooth + (NumSDs × SD)
LowerBand = Smooth - (NumSDs × SD)
🔍 Technical Note: The Pine Script implementation uses a statistical standard deviation of the residuals (differences between price and the smooth average). Ehlers' original text implies an RMS of these residuals. While both measure dispersion, they will yield slightly different values. The Ultrasmooth Filter itself is a key component, designed for responsiveness.
📈 INTERPRETATION DETAILS
Reduced Lag: The primary advantage is the significant reduction in lag compared to standard Bollinger Bands, allowing for quicker reaction to price changes.
Volatility Indication: Widening bands indicate increasing market volatility, while narrowing bands suggest decreasing volatility.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions (Use with caution):
• Price touching or exceeding the Upper Band may suggest overbought conditions.
• Price touching or falling below the Lower Band may suggest oversold conditions.
Trend Identification:
• Price consistently "walking the band" (moving along the upper or lower band) can indicate a strong trend.
• The Middle Band (Ultrasmooth Filter) acts as a dynamic support/resistance level and indicates the short-term trend direction.
Comparison to Ultimate Channel: Ehlers notes that the Ultimate Band indicator does not differ from the Ultimate Channel indicator in any major fashion.
🛠️ USE AND APPLICATION
Ultimate Bands can be used similarly to how Keltner Channels or Bollinger Bands are used for interpreting price action, with the main difference being the reduced lag.
Example Trading Strategy (from John F. Ehlers):
Hold a position in the direction of the Ultimate Smoother (the centerline).
Exit that position when the price "pops" outside the channel or band in the opposite direction of the trade.
This is described as a trend-following strategy with an automatic following stop.
⚠️ LIMITATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
Lag (Minimized but Present): While significantly reduced, some minimal lag inherent to averaging processes will still exist. Increasing the Length parameter for smoother bands will moderately increase this lag.
Parameter Sensitivity: The Length and StdDev Multiplier settings are key to tuning the indicator for different assets and timeframes.
False Signals: As with any band indicator, false signals can occur, particularly in choppy or non-trending markets.
Not a Standalone System: Best used in conjunction with other forms of analysis for confirmation.
Deviation Calculation Nuance: Be aware of the difference in deviation calculation (statistical standard deviation vs. RMS of residuals) if comparing directly to Ehlers' original concept as described.

Supertrade's RVI Long-Only Strategy with SL/TP (RR 1:3)This strategy, titled "Supertrade’s RVI Long-Only Strategy with SL/TP (RR 1:3)", is designed to capitalize on potential bullish reversals using the Relative Vigor Index (RVI) as its core signal generator. It is best optimized for trading XAUUSD on the 15-minute timeframe , where it has demonstrated favorable historical performance.
The RVI is calculated using a 10-period standard deviation of the closing price, with smoothing applied through a 14-period exponential moving average. This approach helps to distinguish between uptrend and downtrend volatility, allowing the strategy to identify momentum shifts with precision. A long position is triggered when the RVI crosses above the 20 level, suggesting a potential transition from a weak to a stronger bullish phase.
Risk management is embedded through a user-defined stop-loss (default set at 1% below the entry price) and a fixed reward-to-risk ratio of 1:3. This means that for every 1% of capital risked, the strategy targets a 3% gain, maintaining favorable risk-reward dynamics throughout its execution. Once a position is entered, it will exit automatically at either the stop-loss or take-profit level, depending on which is reached first.
This strategy is meant for educational and research purposes only. While it has performed well historically on specific assets and timeframes, past performance is not indicative of future results . Market conditions can change, and no strategy guarantees success in all environments. Please exercise proper risk management and test thoroughly before applying in live markets.
