David_30-Minute Boxes This indicator draws boxes for 30-minute intervals on the chart, highlighting significant price movements. The boxes begin at 00:00 and end at 22:00. Each box is color-coded according to price action:
Green Box: The closing price at the end of the 30-minute period is above the opening price.
Red Box: The closing price at the end of the 30-minute period is below the opening price.
Dark Green Box: The closing price at the end of the box is higher than the high of the previous box.
Dark Red Box: The closing price at the end of the box is lower than the low of the previous box.
The boxes dynamically adjust within each 30-minute interval to reflect the high and low of the period. The border of each box is fully transparent for a clean and uncluttered visual display.
Optional Candle Numbering
In the indicator settings, you can enable or disable the numbering of individual candles within each box. The numbering restarts at 1 for each new box, helping to track the progression of individual 30-minute intervals.
Use Cases
This indicator is particularly useful for traders who want to analyze short-term movements and the dynamics within 30-minute intervals. The color-coding of the boxes provides quick visual insights into the strength of price action within a time interval, making it easier to spot momentum shifts or important support and resistance levels.
Indicators and strategies
Percent Trend Change [BigBeluga]The Percent Trend Change indicator is a trend-following tool that provides real-time percentage changes during trends based on entry prices. Using John Ehlers’ Ultimate Smoother filter, it detects trend direction, identifies uptrends and downtrends, and tracks percentage changes during the trend. Additionally, it has a channel that can be toggled on or off, and the width can be customized, adding an extra visual layer to assess trend strength and direction.

🔵 IDEA
The Percent Trend Change indicator helps traders visualize the progression of a trend with percentage changes from entry points. It identifies trends and marks percentage changes during the trend, making it easier to assess the strength and sustainability of the ongoing trend.
The use of John Ehlers' Ultimate Smoother filter helps detect trend changes based on consecutive price movements over five bars, making it highly responsive to short- and medium-term trends.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
◉ Ultimate Smoother Filter for Trend Detection:
The trend is detected using the Ultimate Smoother filter. If the smoothed line rises five times in a row, the indicator identifies an uptrend. If it falls five times in a row, it identifies a downtrend.
◉ Trend Entry with Price Labels:
The indicator marks trend entry points with up (green) and down (red) triangles. These triangles are labeled with the entry price, allowing traders to track the starting price of the trend.
◉ Percentage Change Labels During Trends:
During a trend, the indicator periodically plots percentage change labels based on the bar period set in the settings.
In an uptrend, positive changes are marked in green, while negative changes are marked in orange. In a downtrend, negative changes are marked in red, while positive changes are marked in orange.
Each plotted percentage label also includes a count of the trend points, allowing traders to track how many times the percentage labels have been plotted during the current trend.
These percentage labels help traders understand how much the price has changed since the trend began and can be used to define potential take-profit targets.
◉ Channel Toggle and Width Customization:
The indicator includes a channel that visually highlights the trend. Traders can toggle this channel on or off, and the width of the channel can be adjusted to match individual preferences. The channel helps visualize the overall trend direction and the range within which price fluctuations occur.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Smoother Length: Adjusts the length of the Ultimate Smoother filter, affecting how responsive the indicator is to price fluctuations.
Bars Percent: Defines how many bars must pass before a new percentage label is plotted. A smaller value plots labels more frequently, while a higher value shows fewer labels.
Channel Width & Show Channel: The width of the channel can be customized, and traders can toggle the channel on or off depending on their preferences.
Color Customization: Traders can customize the colors for the uptrend, downtrend, and percentage labels, providing flexibility in how the indicator is displayed on the chart.
By combining trend-following capabilities with percentage change tracking, the Percent Trend Change indicator offers a powerful tool for identifying trend direction and setting potential take-profit targets. The ability to customize the channel and percentage labels makes it adaptable to various trading strategies.
Advanced VWAP [CryptoSea]The Advanced VWAP is a comprehensive volume-weighted average price (VWAP) tool designed to provide traders with a deeper understanding of market trends through multi-layered VWAP analysis. This indicator is ideal for those who want to track price movements in relation to VWAP bands and detect key market levels with greater precision.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe VWAP Bands: Includes multiple VWAP bands with different lookback periods (5, 10, 25, and 50), allowing traders to observe short-term and long-term price behavior.
Smoothed Band Options: Offers optional smoothing of VWAP bands to reduce noise and highlight significant trends more clearly.
Dynamic Median Line Display: Plots the median line of the VWAP bands, providing a reference for price movements and potential reversal zones.
VWAP Trend Strength Calculation: Measures the strength of the trend based on the price's position relative to the VWAP bands, normalized between -1 and 1 for easier interpretation.
In the example below we can see the VWAP Forecastd Cloud, which consists of multiple layers of VWAP bands with varying lookback periods, creating a dynamic forecast visualization. The cloud structure represents potential future price ranges by projecting VWAP-based bands outward, with darker areas indicating higher density and overlap of the bands, suggesting stronger support or resistance zones. This approach helps traders anticipate price movement and identify areas of potential consolidation or breakout as the price interacts with different layers of the forecast cloud.
How it Works
VWAP Calculation: Utilizes multiple VWAP calculations based on various lookback periods to capture a broad range of price behaviors. The indicator adapts to different market conditions by switching between short-term and long-term VWAP references.
Smoothing Algorithms: Provides the ability to smooth the VWAP bands using different moving average types (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA) to suit various trading strategies and reduce market noise.
Trend Strength Analysis: Computes the trend strength based on the price's distance from the VWAP bands, with a value range of -1 to 1. This feature helps traders identify the intensity of uptrends and downtrends.
Alert Conditions: Includes alert options for crossing above or below the smoothed median line, as well as touching the smoothed upper or lower bands, providing timely notifications for potential trading opportunities.
This image below illustrates the use of smoothed VWAP bands, which provide a cleaner representation of the price's relationship to the VWAP by reducing market noise. The smoothed bands create a flowing cloud-like structure, making it easier to observe significant trends and potential reversal points. The circles highlight areas where the price interacts with the smoothed bands, indicating potential key levels for trend continuation or reversal. This setup helps traders focus on meaningful movements and filter out minor fluctuations, improving the identification of strategic entry and exit points based on smoother trend signals.
Application
Strategic Entry and Exit Points: Helps traders identify optimal entry and exit points based on the interaction with VWAP bands and trend strength readings.
Trend Confirmation: Assists in confirming trend strength by analyzing price movements relative to the VWAP bands and detecting significant breaks or touches.
Customized Analysis: Supports a wide range of trading styles by offering adjustable smoothing, band settings, and alert conditions to meet specific trading needs.
The Advanced VWAP by is a valuable addition to any trader's toolkit, offering versatile features to navigate different market scenarios with confidence. Whether used for day trading or longer-term analysis, this tool enhances decision-making by providing a robust view of price behavior relative to VWAP levels.
TradingIQ - Reversal IQIntroducing "Reversal IQ" by TradingIQ
Reversal IQ is an exclusive trading algorithm developed by TradingIQ, designed to trade trend reversals in the market. By integrating artificial intelligence and IQ Technology, Reversal IQ analyzes historical and real-time price data to construct a dynamic trading system adaptable to various asset and timeframe combinations.
Philosophy of Reversal IQ
Reversal IQ integrates IQ Technology (AI) with the timeless concept of reversal trading. Markets follow trends that inevitably reverse at some point. Rather than relying on rigid settings or manual judgment to capture these reversals, Reversal IQ dynamically designs, creates, and executes reversal-based trading strategies.
Reversal IQ is designed to work straight out of the box. In fact, its simplicity requires just one user setting, making it incredibly straightforward to manage.
AI Aggressiveness is the only setting that controls how Reversal IQ works.
Traders don’t have to spend hours adjusting settings and trying to find what works best - Reversal IQ handles this on its own.
Key Features of Reversal IQ
Self-Learning Reversal Detection

IQMA – Proprietary Moving Average
Introduces the IQ Moving Average (IQMA), designed to classify overarching market trends.
IQCandles – Trend Classification Tool
Complements IQMA with candlestick colors designed for trend identification and analysis.
How It Works
Reversal IQ operates on a straightforward heuristic: go long during an extended downside move and go short during an extended upside move.
What defines an "extended move" is determined by IQ Technology, TradingIQ's exclusive AI algorithm. For Reversal IQ, the algorithm assesses the extent to which historical high and low prices are breached. By learning from these price level violations, Reversal IQ adapts to trade future, similar violations in a recurring manner. It calculates a price area, distant from the current price, where a reversal is anticipated.
In simple terms, price peaks (tops) and troughs (bottoms) are stored for Reversal IQ to learn from. The degree to which these levels are violated by subsequent price movements is also recorded. Reversal IQ continuously evaluates this stored data, adapting to market volatility and raw price fluctuations to better capture price reversals.
What classifies as a price top or price bottom?
For Reversal IQ, price tops are considered the highest price attained before a significant downside reversal. Price bottoms are considered the lowest price attained before a significant upside reversal. The highest price achieved is continuously calculated before a significant counter trend price move renders the high price as a swing high. The lowest price achieved is continuously calculated before a significant counter trend price move renders the low price as a swing low.
The image above illustrates the IQ channel and explains the corresponding prices and levels
The blue lower line represents the Long Reversal Level, with the price highlighted in blue showing the Long Reversal Price.
The red upper line represents the Short Reversal Level, with the price highlighted in red showing the Short Reversal Price.
Limit orders are placed at both of these levels. As soon as either level is touched, a trade is immediately executed.
The image above shows a long position being entered after the Long Reversal Level was reached. The profit target and stop loss are calculated by Reversal IQ
The blue line indicates where the profit target is placed (acting as a limit order).
The red line shows where the stop loss is placed (acting as a stop loss order).
Green arrows indicate that the strategy entered a long position at the highlighted price level.
You can also hover over the trade labels to get more information about the trade—such as the entry price, profit target, and stop loss.
The image above demonstrates the profit target being hit for the trade. All profitable trades are marked by a blue arrow and blue line. Hover over the blue arrow to obtain more details about the trade exit.
The image above depicts a short position being entered after the Short Reversal Level was touched. The profit target and stop loss are calculated by the AI
The blue line indicates where the profit target is placed (acting as a limit order).
The red line shows where the stop loss is placed (acting as a stop loss order).
The image above shows the profit target being hit for the short trade. Profitable trades are indicated by a blue arrow and blue line. Hover over the blue arrow to access more information about the trade exit.
Long Entry: Green Arrow
Short Entry: Red Arrow
Profitable Trades: Blue Arrow
Losing Trades: Red Arrow
IQMA
The IQMA implements a dynamic moving average that adapts to market conditions by adjusting its smoothing factor based on its own slope. This makes it more responsive in volatile conditions (steeper slopes) and smoother in less volatile conditions.
The IQMA is not used by Reversal IQ as a trade condition; however, the IQMA can be used by traders to characterize the overarching trend and elect to trade only long positions during bullish conditions and only short positions during bearish conditions.
The IQMA is an adaptive smoothing function that applies a combination of multiple moving averages to reduce lag and noise in the data. The adaptiveness is achieved by dynamically adjusting the Volatility Factor (VF) based on the slope (derivative) of the price trend, making it more responsive to strong trends and smoother in consolidating markets.
This process effectively makes the moving average a self-adjusting filter, the IQMA attempts to track both trending and ranging market conditions by dynamically changing its sensitivity in response to price movements.
When IQMA is blue, an overarching uptrend is in place. When IQMA is red, an overarching downtrend is in place.
IQ Candles
IQ Candles are price candles color-coordinated with IQMA. IQ Candles help visualize the overarching trend and are not used by Reversal IQ to determine trade entries and trade exits.
AI Aggressiveness
Reversal IQ has only one setting that controls its functionality.
AI Aggressiveness controls the aggressiveness of the AI. This setting has three options: Sniper, Aggressive, and Very Aggressive.
Sniper Mode
In Sniper Mode, Reversal IQ will prioritize trading large deviations from established reversal levels and extracting the largest countertrend move possible from them.
Aggressive Mode
In Aggressive Mode, Reversal IQ still prioritizes quality but allows for strong, quantity-based signals. More trades will be executed in this mode with tighter stops and profit targets. Aggressive mode forces Reversal IQ to learn from narrower raw-dollar violations of historical levels.
Very Aggressive Mode
In Very Aggressive Mode, Reversal IQ still prioritizes the strongest quantity-based signals. Stop and target distances aren't inherently affected, but entries will be aggressive while prioritizing performance. Very Aggressive mode forces Reversal IQ to learn from narrower raw-dollar violations of historical levels and also forces it to embrace volatility more aggressively.
AI Direction
The AI Direction setting controls the trade direction Reversal IQ is allowed to take.
“Both” allows for both long and short trades.
“Long” allows for only long trades.
“Short” allows for only short trades.
Verifying Reversal IQ’s Effectiveness
Reversal IQ automatically tracks its performance and displays the profit factor for the long strategy and the short strategy it uses. This information can be found in a table located in the top-right corner of your chart.
The image above shows the long strategy profit factor and the short strategy profit factor for Reversal IQ.
A profit factor greater than 1 indicates a strategy profitably traded historical price data.
A profit factor less than 1 indicates a strategy unprofitably traded historical price data.
A profit factor equal to 1 indicates a strategy did not lose or gain money when trading historical price data.
Using Reversal IQ
While Reversal IQ is a full-fledged trading system with entries and exits, it was designed for the manual trader to take its trading signals and analysis indications to greater heights - offering numerous applications beyond its built-in trading system.
The hallmark feature of Reversal IQ is its sniper-like reversal signals. While exits are dynamically calculated as well, Reversal IQ simply has a knack for "sniping" price reversals.
When performing live analysis, you can use the IQ Channel to evaluate price reversal areas, whether price has extended too far in one direction, and whether price is likely to reverse soon.
Of course, in times of exuberance or panic, price may push through the reversal levels. While infrequent, it can happen to any indicator.
The deeper price moves into the bullish reversal area (blue) the better chance that price has extended too far and will reverse to the upside soon. The deeper price moves into the bearish reversal area (red) the better chance that price has extended too far and will reverse to the downside soon.
Of course, you can set alerts for all Reversal IQ entry and exit signals, effectively following along its systematic conquest of price movement.
TradingIQ - Impulse IQIntroducing "Impulse IQ" by TradingIQ
Impulse IQ is an exclusive trading algorithm developed by TradingIQ, designed to trade breakouts and established trends. By integrating artificial intelligence and IQ Technology, Impulse IQ analyzes historical and real-time price data to construct a dynamic trading system adaptable to various asset and timeframe combinations.
Philosophy of Impulse IQ
Impulse IQ combines IQ Technology (AI) with the classic principles of trend and breakout trading. Recognizing that markets inherently follow trends that need to persist for significant price movements to unfold, Impulse IQ eliminates the need for rigid settings or manual intervention.
Instead, it dynamically develops, adapts, and executes trend-based trading strategies, enabling a more responsive approach to capturing meaningful market opportunities.

Self Learning, Multi Timeframe IQ Zig Zags
The Zig Zag IQ is a self-learning, multi-timeframe indicator that adapts to market volatility, providing a clearer representation of market movements than traditional zig zag indicators.
Dual Strategy Execution
Impulse IQ integrates two distinct strategy types: Breakout and Cheap (details explained later).
How It Works
Before diving deeper into Impulse IQ, it's essential to understand the core terminology:
Zig Zag IQ : A self-learning trend and breakout identification mechanism that serves as the foundation for Impulse IQ. Although it belongs to the “Zig Zag” class of technical indicators, it's powered by IQ Technology.
Impulse IQ : A self-learning trading strategy that executes trades based on Zig Zag IQ. Zig Zag IQ identifies market trends, while Impulse IQ adapts, learns, and executes trades based on these trend characterizations.
Impulse IQ operates on a simple heuristic: go long during upside volatility and go short during downside volatility, essentially capturing price breakouts.
The definition of a “price breakout” is determined by IQ Technology, TradingIQ's exclusive AI algorithm. In Impulse IQ, the algorithm utilizes two IQ Zig Zags (self-learning, multi-timeframe zig zags) to analyze and learn from market trends.
It identifies breakout opportunities by recognizing violations of established price levels marked by the IQ Zig Zags. Impulse IQ then adapts and evolves to trade similar future violations in a recurring and dynamic manner.
Put simply, IQ Zig Zags continuously learn from both historical and real-time price updates to adjust themselves for an "optimal fit" to price data. The aim is to adapt so that the marked price tops and bottoms, when violated, reveal potential breakout opportunities.
The strategy layer of IQ Zig Zags, known as Impulse IQ, incorporates an additional level of self-learning with IQ Technology. It learns from breakout signals generated by the IQ Zig Zags, enabling it to dynamically identify and signal tradable breakouts. Moreover, Impulse IQ learns from historical price data to manage trade exits.
All positions start with an initial fixed stop loss and a trailing stop target. Once the trailing stop target is reached, the fixed stop loss converts into a trailing stop, allowing Impulse IQ to remain in the breakout/trend until the trailing stop is triggered.
What Classifies as a Breakout, Price Top, and Price Bottom?
For Impulse IQ:
Price tops are considered the highest price achieved before a price bottom forms.
Price bottoms are the lowest price reached before a price top forms.
For price tops, the highest price continues to be calculated until a significant downside price move occurs. Similarly, for price bottoms, the lowest price is calculated until a significant upside price move happens.
What distinguishes Zig Zag IQ from other zig zag indicators is its unique mechanism for determining a "significant counter-trend price move." Zig Zag IQ evaluates multiple fits to identify what best suits the current market conditions. Consequently, a "significant counter-trend price move" in one market might differ in magnitude from what’s considered "significant" in another, allowing it to adapt to varying market dynamics.
For example, a 1% price move in the opposite direction might be substantial in one market but not in another, and Zig Zag IQ figures this out internally.
The image above illustrates the IQ Zig Zags in action. The solid Zig Zag IQ lines represent the most recent price move being calculated, while the dotted, shaded lines display historical price moves previously analyzed by IQ Zig Zag.
Notice how the green zig zag aligns with a larger trend, while the purple zig zag follows a smaller trend. This mechanism is crucial for generating breakout signals in Impulse IQ: for a position to be entered, the breakout of the smaller trend must occur in the same direction as the larger trend.
The image above depicts the IQ Meters—an exclusive TradingIQ tool designed to help traders evaluate trend strength and retracement opportunities.
When the lower timeframe Zig Zag IQ and the higher timeframe Zig Zag IQ are out of sync (i.e., one is uptrending while the other is downtrending, with no active positions), the meters display a neutral color, as shown in the image.
The key to using these meters is to identify trend unison and pinpoint key trend retracement entry opportunities. Fibonacci retracement levels for the current trend are interlaced along each meter, and the current price is converted to a retracement ratio of the trend.
These meters can mathematically determine where price stands relative to the larger and smaller trends, aiding in identifying entry opportunities.
The top of each meter indicates the highest price achieved during the current price move.
The bottom of each meter indicates the lowest price achieved during the current price move.
When both the larger and smaller trends are in sync and uptrending, or when a long position is active, the IQ meters turn green, indicating uptrend strength.
When both trends are in sync and downtrending, or when a short position is active, the IQ meters turn red, indicating downtrend strength.
The image above shows the Point of Change for both the larger and smaller Zig Zag IQ trends. A distinctive feature of Zig Zag IQ is its ability to calculate these turning points in advance—unlike most traditional zig zag indicators that lack predetermined turning points and often lag behind price movements. In contrast, Zig Zag IQ offers a minimal-lag trend detection capability, providing a more responsive representation of market trends.
Simply put, once the market Zig Zag anchors are touched, the corresponding Zig Zag IQ will change direction.
Trade Signals
Impulse IQ can trade in one of two ways: Entering breakouts as soon as they happen (Breakout Strategy Type) or entering the pullback of a price breakout (Cheap Strategy Type).
Generally, the Breakout Strategy type will take a greater number of trades and enter a breakout quicker. The Cheap Strategy type will usually take less trades, but potentially enter at a better time/price point, prior to the next leg up of a break up, or the next leg down of a break down.
Entry signals are given when price breaks out to the upside or downside for the "Breakout" strategy type, or for the "Cheap" strategy type, when price retraces to the level it broke out from!
Breakout Strategy Example
The image above demonstrates a long position entered and exited using the Breakout strategy. The price breakout level is marked by the dotted, horizontal green line, representing a previously established price high identified by IQ Zig Zag. Once the price breaks and closes above this level, a long position is initiated.
After entering a long position, Impulse IQ immediately displays the initial fixed stop price. As the price moves favorably for the long position, the trailing stop conversion level is reached, and the indicator switches to a trailing stop, as shown in the image. Impulse IQ continues to "ride the trend" for as long as it persists, exiting only when the trailing stop is triggered.
Cheap Strategy Example
The image above shows a short entry executed using the Cheap strategy. The aim of the Cheap strategy is to enter on a pullback before the breakout occurs. While this results in fewer trades if price doesn’t pull back before the breakout, it typically allows for a better entry time and price point when a pullback does happen.
The image above illustrates the remainder of the trade until the trailing stop was hit.
Green Arrow = Long Entry
Red Arrow = Short Entry
Blue Arrow = Trade Exit
Impulse IQ calculates the initial stop price and trailing stop distance before any entry signals are triggered. This means users don’t need to constantly tweak these settings to improve performance—Impulse IQ handles this process internally.
Verifying Impulse IQ’s Effectiveness
Impulse IQ automatically tracks its performance and displays the profit factor for both its long and short strategies, visible in a table located in the top-right corner of your chart.
The image above shows the profit factor for both the long and short strategies used by Impulse IQ.
A profit factor greater than 1 indicates that the strategy was profitable when trading historical price data.
A profit factor less than 1 indicates that the strategy was unprofitable when trading historical price data.
A profit factor equal to 1 indicates that the strategy neither gained nor lost money on historical price data.
Using Impulse IQ
While Impulse IQ functions as a comprehensive trading system with its own entry and exit signals, it was designed for the manual trader to take its trading signals and analysis indications to greater heights - offering numerous applications beyond its built-in trading system.
The standout feature of Impulse IQ is its ability to characterize and capitalize on trends. Keeping a close eye on “Breakout” labels and making use of the IQ meter is the best way to use Impulse IQ.
The IQ Meters can be used to:
Find entry points during trend retracements
Assess trend alignment across higher and lower timeframes
Evaluate overall trend strength, indicating where the price lies on both IQ Meters.
Additionally, "Break Up" and "Break Down" labels can be identified for anticipating breakouts. Impulse IQ self-learns to capture breakouts optimally, making these labels dynamic signals for predicting a breakout.
The Zig Zag IQ indicators are instrumental in characterizing the market's current state. As a self-learning tool, Zig Zag IQ constantly adapts to improve the representation of current price action. The price tops and bottoms identified by Zig Zag IQ can be treated as support/resistance and breakout levels.
Of course, you can set alerts for all Impulse IQ entry and exit signals, effectively following along its systematic conquest of price movement.
ARMORE Capital: Support–Resistance Levels v2.0 [Enhanced]Enhanced S/R Levels with Signals
The "Enhanced S R Levels with Signals" indicator is designed to help traders and investors identify key Support and Resistance levels on a price chart. It also includes LONG and SHORT signals to help you see potential buy and sell opportunities. Here's a beginner-friendly breakdown of how it works and how to use it:
How it Works
Support and Resistance Levels:
Support Levels (blue lines) are prices where the stock tends to find a "floor" or buying interest, potentially pushing the price up. These levels are calculated based on the lowest prices over a period, with the sensitivity setting helping adjust the distance between each support level.
Resistance Levels (red lines) are prices where the stock often encounters a "ceiling" or selling interest, which could push the price down. These levels are calculated based on the highest prices over a period, with sensitivity adjusting the distance between each resistance level.
The indicator plots up to five support and five resistance lines, giving you a layered view of price levels where the market may react.
LONG and SHORT Signals:
LONG Signal (green arrow pointing up): When the closing price goes above the closest support level, the indicator shows a LONG signal below the bar, suggesting a potential upward trend.
SHORT Signal (red arrow pointing down): When the closing price goes below the closest resistance level, the indicator shows a SHORT signal above the bar, indicating a potential downward trend.
Background Ribbons:
When a LONG condition is met, a faint green background appears on the chart as a visual cue.
When a SHORT condition is met, a faint red background appears to signal potential bearish pressure.
How to Use It
1. Finding Entry and Exit Points: Use the LONG and SHORT signals as a guide, but remember to consider other factors before making trading decisions. A LONG signal suggests that price may rise, while a SHORT signal indicates potential downside.
2. Support & Resistance Levels: Treat these levels as potential points of interest. Prices often react at support or resistance, so you can look for confirmation (e.g., reversal patterns, volume spikes) around these levels.
3. Experiment with Sensitivity: Adjust the "Sensitivity" setting to see how it changes the spacing of support and resistance levels. Higher sensitivity may show more frequent support/resistance levels, which can be helpful for short-term traders.
DISCLAIMER : This is purely experimental and shouldn't be considered a blatant Buy-Sell Indicator. Please feel free to use it to supplement your research, share it with your friends, iterate and improve upon it, and use it to build better, more powerful tools!
Remember, always combine technical indicators with other analysis methods and manage your risk responsibly. Happy Trading!
TradingIQ - Nova IQIntroducing "Nova IQ" by TradingIQ
Nova IQ is an exclusive Trading IQ algorithm designed for extended price move scalping. It spots overextended micro price moves and bets against them. In this way, Nova IQ functions similarly to a reversion strategy.
Nova IQ analyzes historical and real-time price data to construct a dynamic trading system adaptable to various asset and timeframe combinations.
Philosophy of Nova IQ
Nova IQ integrates AI with the concept of central-value reversion scalping. On lower timeframes, prices may overextend for small periods of time - which Nova IQ looks to bet against. In this sense, Nova IQ scalps against small, extended price moves on lower timeframes.
Nova IQ is designed to work straight out of the box. In fact, its simplicity requires just one user setting, making it incredibly straightforward to manage.
Use HTF (used to apply a higher timeframe trade filter) is the only setting that controls how Nova IQ works.
Traders don’t have to spend hours adjusting settings and trying to find what works best - Nova IQ handles this on its own.
Key Features of Nova IQ
Self-Learning Market Scalping
Employs AI and IQ Technology to scalp micro price overextensions.
AI-Generated Trading Signals
Provides scalping signals derived from self-learning algorithms.
Comprehensive Trading System
Offers clear entry and exit labels.
Performance Tracking
Records and presents trading performance data, easily accessible for user analysis.
Higher Timeframe Filter
Allows users to implement a higher timeframe trading filter.
Long and Short Trading Capabilities
Supports both long and short positions to trade various market conditions.
Nova Oscillator (NOSC)
The Nova IQ Oscillator (NOSC) is an exclusive self-learning oscillator developed by Trading IQ. Using IQ Technology, the NOSC functions as an all-in-one oscillator for evaluating price overextensions.
Nova Bands (NBANDS)
The Nova Bands (NBANDS) are based on a proprietary calculation and serve as a custom two-layer smoothing filter that uses exponential decay. These bands adaptively smooth prices to identify potential trend retracement opportunities.
How It Works
Nova IQ operates on a simple heuristic: scalp long during micro downside overextensions and short during micro upside overextensions.
What constitutes an "overextension" is defined by IQ Technology, TradingIQ's proprietary AI algorithm. For Nova IQ, this algorithm evaluates the typical extent of micro overextensions before a reversal occurs. By learning from these patterns, Nova IQ adapts to identify and trade future overextensions in a consistent manner.
In essence, Nova IQ learns from price movements within scalping timeframes to pinpoint price areas for capitalizing on the reversal of an overextension.
As a trading system, Nova IQ enters all positions using market orders at the bar’s close. Each trade is exited with a profit-taking limit order and a stop-loss order. Thanks to its self-learning capability, Nova IQ determines the most suitable profit target and stop-loss levels, eliminating the need for the user to adjust any settings.
What classifies as a tradable overextension?
For Nova IQ, tradable overextensions are not manually set but are learned by the system. Nova IQ utilizes NOSC to identify and classify micro overextensions. By analyzing multiple variations of NOSC, along with its consistency in signaling overextensions and its tendency to remain in extreme zones, Nova IQ dynamically adjusts NOSC to determine what constitutes overextension territory for the indicator.
When NOSC reaches the downside overextension zone, long trades become eligible for entry. Conversely, when NOSC reaches the upside overextension zone, short trades become eligible for entry.
The image above illustrates NOSC and explains the corresponding overextension zones
The blue lower line represents the Downside Overextension Zone.
The red upper line represents the Upside Overextension Zone.
Any area between the two deviation points is not considered a tradable price overextension.
When either of the overextension zones are breached, Nova IQ will get to work at determining a trade opportunity.
The image above shows a long position being entered after the Downside Overextension Zone was reached.
The blue line on the price scale shows the AI-calculated profit target for the scalp position. The redline shows the AI-calculated stop loss for the scalp position.
Blue arrows indicate that the strategy entered a long position at the highlighted price level.
Yellow arrows indicate a position was closed.
You can also hover over the trade labels to get more information about the trade—such as the entry price and exit price.
The image above depicts a short position being entered after the Upside Overextension Zone was breached.
The blue line on the price scale shows the AI-calculated profit target for the scalp position. The redline shows the AI-calculated stop loss for the scalp position.
Red arrows indicate that the strategy entered a short position at the highlighted price level.
Yellow arrows indicate that NOVA IQ exited a position.
Long Entry: Blue Arrow
Short Entry: Red Arrow
Closed Trade: Yellow Arrow
Nova Bands
The Nova Bands (NBANDS) are based on a proprietary calculation and serve as a custom two-layer smoothing filter that uses exponential decay and cosine factors.
These bands adaptively smooth the price to identify potential trend retracement opportunities.
The image above illustrates how to interpret NBANDS. While NOSC focuses on identifying micro overextensions, NBANDS is designed to capture larger price overextensions. As a result, the two indicators complement each other well and can be effectively used together to identify a broader range of price overextensions in the market.
While the Nova Bands are not part of the core heuristic and do not use IQ technology, they provide valuable insights for discretionary traders looking to refine their strategies.
Use HTF (Use Higher Timeframe) Setting
Nova IQ has only one setting that controls its functionality.
“Use HTF” controls whether the AI uses a higher timeframe trading filter. This setting can be true or false. If true, the trader must select the higher timeframe to implement.
No Higher TF Filter
Nova IQ operates with standard aggression when the higher timeframe setting is turned off. In this mode, it exclusively learns from the price data of the current chart, allowing it to trade more aggressively without the influence of a higher timeframe filter.
Higher TF Filter
Nova IQ demonstrates reduced aggression when the "Use HTF" (Higher Timeframe) setting is enabled. In this mode, Nova IQ learns from both the current chart's data and the selected higher timeframe data, factoring in the higher timeframe trend when seeking scalping opportunities. As a result, trading opportunities only arise when both the higher timeframe and the chart's timeframe simultaneously display overextensions, making this mode more selective in its entries.
In this mode, Nova IQ calculates NOSC on the higher timeframe, learns from the corresponding price data, and applies the same rules to NOSC as it does for the current chart's timeframe. This ensures that Nova IQ consistently evaluates overextensions across both timeframes, maintaining its trading logic while incorporating higher timeframe insights.
AI Direction
The AI Direction setting controls the trade direction Nova IQ is allowed to take.
“Trade Longs” allows for long trades.
“Trade Shorts” allows for short trades.
Verifying Nova IQ’s Effectiveness
Nova IQ automatically tracks its performance and displays the profit factor for the long strategy and the short strategy it uses. This information can be found in a table located in the top-right corner of your chart showing the long strategy profit factor and the short strategy profit factor.
The image above shows the long strategy profit factor and the short strategy profit factor for Nova IQ.
A profit factor greater than 1 indicates a strategy profitably traded historical price data.
A profit factor less than 1 indicates a strategy unprofitably traded historical price data.
A profit factor equal to 1 indicates a strategy did not lose or gain money when trading historical price data.
Using Nova IQ
While Nova IQ is a full-fledged trading system with entries and exits - it was designed for the manual trader to take its trading signals and analysis indications to greater heights, offering numerous applications beyond its built-in trading system.
The hallmark feature of Nova IQ is its to ignore noise and only generate signals during tradable overextensions.
The best way to identify overextensions with Nova IQ is with NOSC.
NOSC is naturally adept at identifying micro overextensions. While it can be interpreted in a manner similar to traditional oscillators like RSI or Stochastic, NOSC’s underlying calculation and self-learning capabilities make it significantly more advanced and useful than conventional oscillators.
Additionally, manual traders can benefit from using NBANDS. Although NBANDS aren't a core component of Nova IQ's guiding heuristic, they can be valuable for manual trading. Prices rarely extend beyond these bands, and it's uncommon for prices to consistently trade outside of them.
NBANDS do not incorporate IQ Technology; however, when combined with NOSC, traders can identify strong double-confluence opportunities.

gann fib levelsDescription of gann fib Levels
Input Value Level:
Purpose: This level is the starting point for calculating support and resistance. Users can input a specific high or low price value that serves as the foundation for subsequent calculations.
Visual Representation: A bold blue line indicates this level prominently on the chart, making it easy to identify. Additionally, a horizontal magenta line provides a reference to this initial price level.
Support Levels:
Definition: Support levels are price points where a downtrend can be expected to pause due to buying interest. They act as a floor that prevents the price from falling further.
Calculation: Support levels are derived by calculating the square root of the input value, adjusting it downward by a defined step (0.25), and squaring the result to find potential support points.
Visual Representation: Each support level is plotted with a red line when the current price is below the support level and changes to green when the price is above it. Every fourth support level is depicted with a bolder line for emphasis.
Resistance Levels:
Definition: Resistance levels are price points where an uptrend can be expected to pause due to selling interest. They serve as a ceiling that prevents the price from rising further.
Calculation: Resistance levels are calculated similarly to support levels, using the square root of the input value but adjusting it upward by the defined step (0.25) before squaring the result.
Visual Representation: Each resistance level is plotted with a green line when the current price is below the resistance level and turns red when the price is above it. Like support levels, every fourth resistance line is bolded for easier identification.
Dynamic Behavior:
Crossing Logic: When the current market price crosses above a resistance level, that level transforms into a support level, effectively changing its role. Conversely, if the price crosses below a support level, it transforms into a resistance level. This dynamic behavior reflects real-time market sentiment and helps traders identify potential reversal points.
Summary
This Pine Script provides a visual representation of dynamic support and resistance levels based on a user-defined input price. With distinct color coding and bold lines for significant levels, traders can quickly assess market conditions, identify potential buy or sell signals, and make informed trading decisions. The system's adaptability allows it to reflect the latest market movements, enhancing its utility as a trading tool.

Usage:
This indicator is ideal for traders seeking to understand points of potential market exhaustion, useful in both continuation and reversal setups. It can be used alongside other indicators and technical analysis methods to enhance trading strategies.
Market Structure Overlay🚀 Market Structure Overlay Indicator 🚀
🔍 Overview
The Market Structure Overlay (MSO) is a sophisticated technical analysis tool created to analyze price action and understand market structure in a more precise way. It identifies Break of Structure (BOS), Market Structure Breaks (MSBs), Equal Highs (EQH), and Equal Lows (EQL) with meticulous precision by utilizing both wicks and closing prices for better accuracy. The MSO is suitable for all trading timeframes, providing traders with the flexibility to observe and trade on any scale, from intraday to long-term trends.
⚙️ How It Works
The MSO uses advanced logic to detect critical price levels that highlight structural changes in the market. It calculates swing highs and lows using user-defined settings, allowing for customization in market structure analysis. The indicator further highlights BOS and MSB levels by leveraging supply and demand detection, offering a comprehensive understanding of trend reversals and continuation points.
✨ Key features include:
📈 Bullish and Bearish BOS/MSB Lines: MSO differentiates between bullish and bearish structural events, which helps traders understand the prevailing trend and identify key pivot points.
🎨 Customizable Appearance: Traders can personalize line styles and colors for BOS/MSB, trendlines and EQH/EQL, making the tool integrate seamlessly into any chart setup.
🔄 Swing Length and Demand Memory Settings: MSO allows users to specify the swing length for BOS lookback and how many historical zones should be stored on the chart, enhancing control over how much data is analyzed visually.
📊 Market Structure Elements Explained
Break of Structure (BOS): A BOS occurs when the price breaks through a previous Higher High (HH) or Lower Low (LL), indicating a continuation of the current trend. It helps confirm the prevailing market direction.
Market Structure Break (MSB): occurs when a Higher Low (HL) or Lower High (LH) is broken, signaling a potential shift in the market trend. This typically marks the beginning of a trend reversal.
Equal Highs (EQH) and Equal Lows (EQL): These levels are areas of liquidity where previous highs or lows are tested again by the market, often signifying areas of accumulation or distribution. EQH and EQL are crucial for recognizing potential liquidity traps.
Trendlines: Trendlines are used to connect successive highs or lows, providing a visual representation of the current direction of the market. They help traders understand trend momentum and potential breakouts.
🔥 Key Features and Benefits
✅ Accurate Market Structure Detection
The Market Structure Overlay identifies Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Breaks (MSB) events that indicate potential trend changes or continuations. The indicator also distinguishes between bullish and bearish market structures using color-coded lines and custom labels, which helps in immediately identifying market dynamics.
📊 Supply and Demand Zones for BOS/MSB Detection
The MSO uses Supply and Demand Zones as part of the detection logic for BOS and MSB. Although these zones are not directly plotted, they play a key role in determining when a significant structural break occurs. This unique approach enhances the accuracy of BOS and MSB identification, as it takes into account areas of accumulation or distribution that often serve as precursors to trend shifts.
🔍 Equal Highs and Lows Detection
The MSO features Equal Highs (EQH) and Equal Lows (EQL) detection, which is a significant indicator for liquidity zones where potential orders might be resting. These areas often trigger key price actions as they get tested or broken.
⚙️ Customizable Settings
Users can customize the indicator’s behavior, including choosing whether to use candle wicks or closing prices, setting swing lengths for identifying key levels, and specifying memory for storing past zones. This flexibility allows traders to adjust the indicator to suit their personal trading strategy and preferences.
⏱️ Multi-Timeframe Highs and Lows
The indicator includes multi-timeframe support for significant highs and lows (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly). This helps traders understand where they are in the larger market context, especially when making decisions during intra-session trading.
🔎 Precise Detection Approach
Unlike traditional market structure indicators that rely heavily on simple pivot points, the MSO employs a more advanced and precise detection mechanism for BOS and MSB. Traditional pivot points typically use a lookback function to identify highs and lows over a fixed period, which can lead to false signals due to market noise or temporary price fluctuations. In contrast, the MSO records and checks swing and interim points against stored memory, only signaling structural breaks after a thorough evaluation. This results in a non-repainting and highly accurate depiction of market structure, minimizing false alerts and providing traders with reliable insights based on price action that remains consistent once confirmed.
🎨 Visualization Options
The MSO uses color-coded BOS and MSB lines to easily differentiate between bullish and bearish scenarios. Users also have options to visualize equal highs/lows (EQH/EQL) to recognize potential liquidity points. A detailed breakdown of Supply and Demand Zones helps traders identify high-probability areas for entries and exits. Additionally, the indicator allows traders to toggle visibility of key elements, including trend lines, labels, and multi-timeframe levels.
📝 Summary
The Market Structure Overlay is an essential tool for understanding price behavior and structural shifts in any financial market. Its use of sophisticated logic to detect structural breaks, coupled with customizable visualizations, allows traders to gain a nuanced view of market dynamics. The supply and demand zones, together with the BOS, MSB, EQH, and EQL labels, provide a strong foundation for both trend-following and reversal trading strategies.
MSO is not just a tool for understanding market direction—it's designed to enhance decision-making by delivering reliable and actionable insights into market structure. This indicator provides a seamless blend of market theory with advanced technical features, making it a valuable asset for serious traders.

ICT Open Range Gap & 1st FVG (fadi)In his 2024 mentorship program, ICT detailed how price action interacts with Open Range Gaps and the initial 1-minute Fair Value Gap following the market open at 9:30 AM.
What is an Open Range Gap?
An Open Range Gap occurs when the market opens at 9:30 AM at a higher or lower level compared to the previous day's close at 4:14 PM, primarily relevant in futures trading. According to ICT, there is a statistical probability of 70% that the price action will close 50% or more of the Open Range Gap within the first 30 minutes of trading (9:30 AM to 10:00 AM).
What is the First 1-Minute Fair Value Gap?
ICT places significant emphasis on the first 1-minute Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms after the market opens at 9:30 AM. The FVG must occur at 9:31 AM or later to be considered valid. This gap often presents key opportunities for traders, as it represents a temporary imbalance between supply and demand that the market seeks to correct.
Understanding and leveraging these patterns can enhance trading strategies by offering insights into potential price movements shortly after market open.
ICT Open Range Gap & 1st FVG
This indicator is engineered to identify and highlight the Open Range Gaps and the first 1-minute Fair Value Gap. Furthermore, it functions across multiple timeframes, from seconds to hours, catering to various trading preferences. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for traders who favor higher timeframes or wish to observe these patterns' application at broader intervals.
Settings
The Open Range Gap indicator offers flexible display settings. It identifies the quadrants and provides optional color coding to distinguish them. Additionally, it tracks the "fill" level to visualize how far the price action has progressed into the gap, enhancing traders' ability to monitor and analyze price movements effectively. By default, the Open Range Gap will stop extending at 10:00 AM; however, there is an option to continue extending until the end of the trading day.
The 1st Fair Value Gap (FVG) can be viewed on any timeframe the indicator is active on, offering various styling options to match each trader's preferences. While the 1st FVG is particularly relevant to the day it is created, previous 1st FVGs within the same week may provide additional value. This indicator allows traders to extend Monday's 1st FVG, marking the first FVG of the week, or to extend all 1st FVGs throughout the week.
Custom Time Frame BackgroundThis indicator allows you to highlight custom time frames on your chart with alternating background colors. It's particularly useful for visualizing specific intervals that are not standard on TradingView, such as 4-hour, 6-hour, or any other custom duration you choose. Features:
Customizable time frames: Set any combination of minutes, hours, and days
Fallback to daily/weekly coloring if no custom time frame is set
User-defined colors for alternating backgrounds
How to use:
Add the indicator to your chart
In the settings, input your desired custom time frame:
Set 'Custom Minutes' for intervals less than an hour
Use 'Custom Hours' for hourly intervals
Use 'Custom Days' for daily intervals
Adjust 'Color 1' and 'Color 2' to your preferred background colors
Examples:
For a 4-hour time frame: Set Custom Hours to 4
For a 6-hour time frame: Set Custom Hours to 6
For a 2-day time frame: Set Custom Days to 2
If all inputs are set to 0, the indicator will default to daily coloring for intraday charts and weekly coloring for higher timeframes. This indicator helps traders visually segment their charts into custom intervals, making it easier to identify patterns and trends over specific time periods.

Relative Measured Volatility (RMV) – Spot Tight Entry ZonesTitle: Relative Measured Volatility (RMV) – Spot Tight Entry Zones
Introduction
The Relative Measured Volatility (RMV) indicator is designed to highlight tight price consolidation zones , making it an ideal tool for traders seeking optimal entry points before potential breakouts. By focusing on tightness rather than general volatility, RMV offers traders a practical way to detect consolidation phases that often precede significant market moves.
How RMV Works
The RMV calculates short-term tightness by averaging three ATR (Average True Range) values over different lookback periods and then normalizing them within a specified lookback window. The result is a percentage-based scale from 0 to 100, indicating how tight the current price range is compared to recent history.
Here’s the breakdown:
Three ATR values are computed using user-defined short lookback periods to represent short-term price movements. An average of the ATRs provides a smoothed measure of current tightness. The RMV normalizes this average against the highest and lowest values over the defined lookback period, scaling it from 0 to 100.
This approach helps traders identify consolidation zones that are more likely to lead to breakouts.
Key Features of RMV
Multi-Period ATR Calculation : Uses three ATR values to effectively capture market tightness over the short term. Normalization : Converts the tightness measure to a 0-100 scale for easy interpretation. Dynamic Histogram and Background Colors : The RMV indicator uses a color-coded system for clarity.
How to Use the RMV Indicator
Identify Tight Consolidation Zones:
a - RMV values between 0-10 indicate very tight price ranges, making this the most optimal zone for potential entries before breakouts.
b - RMV values between 11-20 suggest moderate tightness, still favorable for entries.
Monitor Potential Breakout Areas:
As RMV moves from 21-30 , tightness reduces, signaling expanding volatility that may require wider stops or more flexible entry strategies.
Adjust Trading Strategies:
Use RMV values to identify tight zones for entering trades, especially in trending markets or at key support/resistance levels.
Customize the Indicator:
a - Adjust the short-term ATR lookback periods to control sensitivity.
b - Modify the lookback period to match your trading horizon, whether short-term or long-term.

Z-Score Weighted Trend System I [InvestorUnknown]The Z-Score Weighted Trend System I is an advanced and experimental trading indicator designed to utilize a combination of slow and fast indicators for a comprehensive analysis of market trends. The system is designed to identify stable trends using slower indicators while capturing rapid market shifts through dynamically weighted fast indicators. The core of this indicator is the dynamic weighting mechanism that utilizes the Z-score of price , allowing the system to respond effectively to significant market movements.
Dynamic Z-Score-Based Weighting System
The Z-Score Weighted Trend System I utilizes the Z-score of price to assign weights dynamically to fast indicators. This mechanism is designed to capture rapid market shifts at potential turning points, providing timely entry and exit signals.
Traders can choose from two primary weighting mechanisms:
Threshold-Based Weighting: The fast indicators are given weight only when the absolute Z-score exceeds a user-defined threshold. Below this threshold, fast indicators have no impact on the final signal.
Continuous Weighting: By setting the threshold to zero, fast indicators always contribute to the final signal, regardless of Z-score levels. However, this increases the likelihood of false signals during ranging or low-volatility markets
// Calculate weight for Fast Indicators based on Z-Score (Slow Indicator weight is kept to 1 for simplicity)
f_zscore_weights(series float z, simple float weight_thre) =>
float fast_weight = na
float slow_weight = na
if weight_thre > 0
if math.abs(z) <= weight_thre
fast_weight := 0
slow_weight := 1
else
fast_weight := 0 + math.sqrt(math.abs(z))
slow_weight := 1
else
fast_weight := 0 + math.sqrt(math.abs(z))
slow_weight := 1
Choice of Z-Score Normalization
Traders have the flexibility to select different Z-score processing methods to better suit their trading preferences:
Raw Z-Score or Moving Average: Traders can opt for either the raw Z-score or a moving average of the Z-score to smooth out fluctuations.
Normalized Z-Score (ranging from -1 to 1) or Z-Score Percentile: The normalized Z-score is simply the raw Z-score divided by 3, while the Z-score percentile utilizes a normal distribution for transformation.
f_zscore_perc(series float zscore_src, simple int zscore_len, simple string zscore_a, simple string zscore_b, simple string ma_type, simple int ma_len) =>
z = (zscore_src - ta.sma(zscore_src, zscore_len)) / ta.stdev(zscore_src, zscore_len)
zscore = switch zscore_a
"Z-Score" => z
"Z-Score MA" => ma_type == "EMA" ? (ta.ema(z, ma_len)) : (ta.sma(z, ma_len))
output = switch zscore_b
"Normalized Z-Score" => (zscore / 3) > 1 ? 1 : (zscore / 3) < -1 ? -1 : (zscore / 3)
"Z-Score Percentile" => (f_percentileFromZScore(zscore) - 0.5) * 2
output
Slow and Fast Indicators
The indicator uses a combination of slow and fast indicators:
Slow Indicators (constant weight) for stable trend identification: DMI (Directional Movement Index), CCI (Commodity Channel Index), Aroon
Fast Indicators (dynamic weight) to identify rapid trend shifts: ZLEMA (Zero-Lag Exponential Moving Average), IIRF (Infinite Impulse Response Filter)
Each indicator is calculated using for-loop methods to provide a smoothed and averaged view of price data over varying lengths, ensuring stability for slow indicators and responsiveness for fast indicators.
Signal Calculation
The final trading signal is determined by a weighted combination of both slow and fast indicators. The slow indicators provide a stable view of the trend, while the fast indicators offer agile responses to rapid market movements. The signal calculation takes into account the dynamic weighting of fast indicators based on the Z-score:
// Calculate Signal (as weighted average)
float sig = math.round(((DMI*slow_w) + (CCI*slow_w) + (Aroon*slow_w) + (ZLEMA*fast_w) + (IIRF*fast_w)) / (3*slow_w + 2*fast_w), 2)
Backtest Mode and Performance Metrics
The indicator features a detailed backtesting mode, allowing traders to compare the effectiveness of their selected settings against a traditional Buy & Hold strategy. The backtesting provides:
Equity calculation based on signals generated by the indicator.
Performance metrics comparing Buy & Hold metrics with the system’s signals, including: Mean, positive, and negative return percentages, Standard deviations, Sharpe, Sortino, and Omega Ratios

Red line will represent quarter 1 this quarter will be either a accumulation or a continuation from the previous quarter.
Green line will represent quarter 2 this is where the big moves in the market tend to happen. it will start printing the line on the chart where the user will have time to look for entry models to get in a trade. Q2 and Q3 are important levels that are near forms of liquidity such as fair value gaps and old highs and lows.

Bank Nifty Open Interest IndicatorThe Bank Nifty Open Interest Indicator is a unique trading tool designed specifically for analyzing open interest in the Bank Nifty index. This script generates actionable buy and sell signals based on the strength of open interest, providing traders with a comprehensive interface to enhance their decision-making process.
Key Features:
Symbol and Timeframe Verification:
The indicator ensures that it is applied to the Bank Nifty index and checks for allowed timeframes (1-minute, 3-minute, 5-minute, or 15-minute). If these conditions are not met, a warning label is displayed, and an alert is triggered to inform the user.
Open Interest Simulation:
A simple moving average (sma) of the closing price serves as a temporary stand-in for the open interest line. This simulation allows users to visualize trends until actual open interest data can be incorporated.
Open Interest Strength Calculation:
The script calculates open interest strength as a normalized value between 0 and 100, based on the highest and lowest values of the simulated open interest line over the last 100 periods. This normalization provides a clearer understanding of market conditions.
Trade Signals:
Buy Signal: Activated when open interest strength surpasses 60, indicating bullish market sentiment.
Sell Signal: Triggered when open interest strength falls below 40, signaling potential bearish conditions.
Alerts are sent out for both buy and sell signals, including details on open interest strength to facilitate informed trading decisions.
Entry, Target, and Stop-Loss Calculation:
The script defines entry points, targets, and stop-loss levels based on the average true range (ATR), establishing a risk-reward ratio of 1:3. This allows traders to manage their risk effectively.
Visual Representation:
Buy and sell signals are visually indicated on the chart with distinct labels ("Buy" and "Sell"). The simulated open interest line and Bank Nifty price are plotted for easy reference, allowing traders to quickly assess market conditions.
Dynamic Tables:
The indicator features three dynamic tables:
Open Interest Strength Meter: Displays the current open interest strength, trade signals, entry prices, and option details (strike price, target price, stop-loss).
Open Interest Power Description: Offers qualitative descriptions based on open interest strength to assist traders in their decision-making process.
Important Notes: Highlights key strategies associated with various open interest levels.
How to Use:
Ensure the indicator is set to the Bank Nifty index and one of the specified timeframes.
Monitor alerts for buy and sell signals.
Review the dynamic tables for insights into open interest strength and associated trading strategies.
Limitations:
Currently, the script simulates open interest using the sma of the closing price. For enhanced accuracy, users are encouraged to replace this with actual open interest data as it becomes available.
