FVG Positioning Average [LuxAlgo]The FVG Positioning Average indicator aims to uncover potential price levels of interest by averaging together recent Fair Value Gap (FVG) initiation levels.
This indicator is grounded in the theory that significant buying or selling activity is the primary catalyst for creating FVGs.
By averaging together the prices where each FVG initiated, we may potentially reveal where major participants are positioned.
🔶 USAGE
By analyzing the average price of bullish or bearish FVGs, users can identify potential support or resistance areas where the larger participants may re-enter or defend their positions.
These areas could be used to adjust entries and exits or assist with risk management such as take-profit or stop-loss levels.
The indicator displays 2 lines, the Bull Average and the Bear Average.
The Bull Average is only displayed when the price holds above the bull Average.
The Bear Average is only displayed when the price holds below the bear average.
When only one average is displayed alone, this level is seen as support or resistance, it is anticipated that this level would be defended for the current trend to stay valid.
When both averages are displayed simultaneously, it can be interpreted as one side attempting to take over the trend.
The movements and reactions during these attempts can be analyzed to provide helpful information about where the price might be headed.
Possible outcomes:
Trend Confirmation/Re-Entry (From Weak Attempts)
Trend Reversal (Creating Support or Resistance)
Consolidation (Oscillating between/around Bull & Bear Averages)
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Lookback Types
This indicator includes 2 lookback types:
Bar Count: Uses Bars to determine what data to include. This type can be utilized for averages that are more locally relevant to the current chart data.
FVG Count: Uses a specific # of FVGs for calculations. This type can be utilized for a continuous & consistent view, typically relevant with longer term analysis.
Note: When using bar lookback, if no data is in range, no lines will be displayed.
Below is an example of the 'FVG Count' Display.
🔹 Initiation Levels
Initiation Levels are the specific price points where each FVG starts, these are the last points the price was traded at before creating the gap.
Bull Initiation Level: Lowest Point (Bottom) of FVG
Bear Initiation Level: Highest Point (Top) of FVG
🔹 FVG Display
Each FVG being used for the current calculation of averages is displayed on the chart for reference.
Note: If you prefer to not display the FVGs, they can be toggled off in the settings, uncheck "Show FVGs on Chart".
🔶 Settings
FVG Lookback: As mentioned above in the 'Lookback Types', this sets the number of FVGs or Bars to use for consideration.
Lookback Type: As also mentioned above in 'Lookback Types', this determines the method of lookback to be used.
ATR Multiplier: The FVGs are required to have a Greater Width than (ATR * Multiplier) in order to be used for calculations. This allows you to focus on the data being considered if needed.

Volumetric Fair Value Gaps [AlgoAlpha]🎯 Introducing the Volumetric Fair Value Gaps by AlgoAlpha 🎯
Embrace the power of volume and price action with the Volumetric Fair Value Gaps (VFVG) indicator, designed meticulously by AlgoAlpha. This innovative tool enhances your charting capabilities by highlighting fair value gaps in real-time, facilitating superior market entry and exit decisions. 🚀📈
🔍 Key Features:
🔹 Fair Value Gap Detection: Utilizes price action and volume to identify significant fair value gaps, offering potential high-probability trading opportunities.
🔹 Adjustability: Customize the sensitivity with 'FVG Noise Reduction Length' and 'Noise Reduction Factor' to match the volatility and characteristics of the asset being traded.
🔹 Visual Appeal: Displays bullish gaps in a soothing Bullish Color and bearish gaps in a striking Bearish Color, making it easy to spot and analyze trends on the fly.
🔹 Overlay Feature: Plots directly on the price chart for seamless integration and analysis.
🌟 Quick Guide to Using the Volumetric Fair Value Gaps Indicator:
🛠 Add the Indicator: Add the indicator to favourites and set it up with your desired settings.
📊 Market Analysis: Watch for the appearance of colored boxes (blue for bearish, gray for bullish) which represent the fair value gaps. These are high-probability areas for reversals or continuations. FVGs with higher volume are implied to induce a stronger reaction on price.
🔔 Alerts: Set up alerts to notify you when new gaps are detected, ensuring you never miss out on potential trades!
🛠 How It Works:
The Volumetric Fair Value Gaps (VFVG) indicator identifies significant price gaps that are not just based on price action but are also substantiated by volume, which are often overlooked in typical analyses. It operates by comparing the current candle’s price range against historical averages and is calculated over a user-defined period, displayed with volume for further insights. For a gap to be recognized as significant (either bullish or bearish), it must exceed a certain size relative to these averages, which can be adjusted for sensitivity using the provided settings. Bullish gaps are identified when the current low is higher than the second previous high after surpassing the threshold, and bearish gaps are marked when the current high is below the second previous low, similarly surpassing the threshold. This dual-confirmation (volume and price deviation) approach minimizes false signals and enhances the reliability of identified gaps.
Maximize your trading strategy with the VFVG Indicator by AlgoAlpha and turn those gaps into opportunities! 🌈✨
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) [UAlgo]A fair value gap is especially popular among price action traders and occurs when there are inefficiencies or imbalances in the market, or when the buying and selling are not equal. Fair value gaps can become a magnet for the price before continuing in the same direction.
🔶 Key Features :
Fair Value Gap Identification:
Bullish fair value gaps occur when the current market price exceeds the previous high. The indicator identifies bullish gaps by comparing the low of the current candle with the high of the candle two candles ago . If the low of the current candle is higher than the high two candles ago and the closing price of the previous candle is also higher than the high two candles ago, a bullish fair value gap is detected.
Bearish fair value gaps occur when the current market price falls below the previous low. The indicator identifies bearish gaps by comparing the high of the current candle with the low of the candle two candles ago. If the high of the current candle is lower than the low two periods ago and the closing price of the previous candle is also lower than the low two candles ago, a bearish fair value gap is detected.
Fair Value Gap Filter :
ATR measures market volatility by analyzing the range of price movements over a specified period. It provides insights into the average price range that a security experiences within a given timeframe. After the ATR is calculated, a Simple Moving Average (SMA) is computed for the ATR values. This moving average smoothens out the ATR data, providing a clearer indication of the average volatility levels over time.
When the filter is active, fair value gaps are identified only if they occur during periods of relatively higher volatility, as indicated by the ATR being greater than the SMA. This helps in refining and obtaining the detection of stronger fair value gaps

Customizable Settings: Users have the flexibility to customize various parameters to suit their trading preferences. They can adjust settings such as the number of fair value gaps displayed, mitigation method (either based on closing prices or wicks), and apply filters based on Average True Range (ATR) to refine gap detection.
🔶 Disclaimer :
Use with Caution: Trading involves significant risk, and this indicator should be used with caution. While it can help identify potential trading opportunities, it does not guarantee profits and may sometimes provide false signals.
Not Financial Advice: The information provided by the Fair Value Gaps indicator is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered as financial advice. Traders should conduct their own research and consult with financial professionals before making any trading decisions.
Past Performance: Past performance is not indicative of future results. Historical price movements analyzed by the indicator may not accurately predict future market behavior.
RSI Order Blocks [UAlgo]The "RSI Order Blocks " identifies and visualizes potential order blocks based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator. These zones may indicating potential support or resistance levels.
🔶 Key Features :
RSI-based Order Block Identification: The script utilizes the RSI indicator to identify potential order blocks. It detects pivot highs and lows in the RSI, which are indicative of potential reversal points, and marks these areas as potential order blocks.
Order Block Visualization: Identified order blocks are visually represented on the chart, making it easy for traders to recognize and interpret these significant price zones. Both bullish and bearish order blocks are differentiated by color, enhancing clarity and ease of analysis. Additionally, within each order block, the RSI value of that block is also shown.
RSI Overbought/Oversold Filter: Optionally, users can apply a filter based on RSI levels to refine the detection of order blocks. This filter prevents the creation of order blocks when the RSI is within specified overbought or oversold conditions (default between 30 and 70), helping traders focus on areas of potentially significant price action.
An Example with the OB/OS Filter Feature Turned Off:
An Example with the OB/OS Filter Feature Turned On:
Mitigation of Broken Order Blocks: Provides flexibility in selecting the mitigation method (based on close or wick) for determining order block breaches.
Customizable Parameters: The script offers a range of customizable parameters to tailor the detection and visualization of order blocks to suit individual trading preferences.

Smart Money Setup 03 [TradingFinder] Minor OB & Trend Proof🔵 Introduction
The "Smart Money Concept" transcends mere technical trading strategies; it embodies a comprehensive philosophy elucidating market dynamics. Central to this concept is the acknowledgment that influential market participants manipulate price actions, presenting challenges for retail traders.
As a "retail trader", aligning your strategy with the behavior of "Smart Money," primarily market makers, is paramount. Understanding their trading patterns, which revolve around supply, demand, and market structure, forms the cornerstone of your approach. Consequently, decisions to enter trades should be informed by these considerations.
🟣 Important Note
In this setup, pattern formation revolves around the robustness of the "Stop Hunt" targeting retail traders.
When this stop hunt occurs, if the price tests below the minor pivot or above the minor pivot, a "Minor Order Block" is formed.
Similarly, if the price tests below the major pivot or above the major pivot, a "Major Order Block" is formed.
Since the price hasn't successfully broken the major pivots before breaking the Top or Bottom, it can be inferred that the minor pivots formed within a leg of price movement exhibit a "Range" structure.
For a deeper comprehension of this setup, refer to the accompanying visual aids below.

🔵 How to Use
Upon integrating the indicator into your chart, exercise patience as you await the evolution of the trading setup.
Experiment with different trading positions by adjusting both the "Time Frame" and "Pivot Period". Typically, setups materializing over longer "Time Frames" and "Pivot Periods" carry heightened validity.

Within the settings, you possess the flexibility to modify the "Pivot Period" input to tailor the indicator to your preferences.
Dynamic Order Blocks [LuxAlgo]The Dynamic Order Blocks indicator displays the most recent unmitigated bullish and bearish order blocks on the chart, providing dynamic support/resistance areas.
When price sweeps an order block, this is highlighted by the script indicating a potential reversal.
The average between the displayed order blocks is also displayed.
🔶 USAGE
Order blocks are a popular method of price action analysis, representing price areas where more significant market participants accumulate their orders.
Displaying order blocks dynamically allows obtaining relevant areas of support/resistance. Users can obtain longer-term order blocks using a higher "Swing Lookback" setting.
Users can also use mitigation events to assess the current trend direction, with price mitigating a bearish order block (breaking above the upper extremity) indicating an uptrend, and price mitigating a bullish order block (breaking below the lower extremity) indicating a downtrend.
🔹 Average Level
An average level obtained from the displayed bullish and bearish order blocks is included in the indicator and offers an additional polyvalent dynamic support/resistance level.
The change of direction of the average line can also be indicative of the current trend direction.
🔹 Dynamic Sweeps
Price sweeping the mitigation level of an order block is highlighted on the chart using bordered rectangles. These highlight a breakout failure and can be indicative of a potential reversal.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Lookback: Period of the swing detection used to construct order blocks. Higher values will return longer-term order blocks.
Use Candle Body: Use the candle body as the order block area instead of the candle full range.

Within this window, it then defines a reference length to identify the most recent price action that will serve as the basis for comparison. The indicator searches through the historical data within the training window to find segments that closely match the recent price action in the reference period.
Depending on whether you choose the anticipatory or repetitive forecast mode, the indicator either looks ahead to predict future prices based on past outcomes following similar patterns or focuses on the repeating patterns within the reference period itself for forecasts. The forecast's direction can be configured to reflect the mean average of forecasted prices or the end-point relative to the start-point of the forecast, offering flexibility in how forecasts are interpreted.
To enhance the comprehensiveness and visualization, the indicator features a forecast deviation cone. This cone represents the potential range of price movements, providing a visual cue for volatility and uncertainty in the forecasted prices. The intensity of this cone can be adjusted to suit individual preferences, offering a visual guide to the level of risk and uncertainty associated with the forecasted price path.

FVG Detector [TradingFinder] Fair Value Gap-Imbalance-Mitigated🔵 Introduction
When the market makes a strong move in the form of a "Marubozu" or "Spike" candlestick and consecutive candles move without a retracement, the maximum place where a "FVG" or "Fair Value Gap" is created.
🔵 Definition
To describe this precisely, whenever a move occurs where the current candle does not cover the body of the previous and subsequent candles, a fair value gap is created.
Important : The significant point is that, because there is no equilibrium between buyers and sellers in these conditions, and market power is in the hands of buyers or sellers, the market is likely to move towards these areas.
An example of "FVG" in a price increase where we expect buying on the return to it.
An example of "FVG" in a downward trend where the market will move towards it in a downward direction.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Bearish FVG
In a downward trend, "orange boxes" are drawn, which are the same and can act as "support" zones along the downward path, and we expect the price to continue its downward trend on return.
🟣 Bullish FVG
In an upward trend, "green boxes" are drawn, which are . They act exactly like support in the upward path, and we expect the price to continue its upward trend on return.
🟣 Auxiliary Definitions
Imbalance : As mentioned above, market power is in the hands of one of the two sides, buyers or sellers, and a non-equilibrium zone is created. It may be completed in whole or in part in subsequent price movements.
Mitigated : If the price returns to the "FVG" area and fills it, we call it "Mitigated," and most "pending" or "profit and loss limits" positions are executed. We will not have a specific reaction on the return of the price.
🔵 Settings
Very Aggressive : In addition to the initial condition, another condition is added. For an upward FVG, the maximum price of the last candle should be larger than the middle candle's maximum price. Similarly, for a downward FVG, the minimum price of the last candle should be smaller than the middle candle's minimum price. In this mode, a very small number of FVGs are eliminated.
Aggressive : In addition to the conditions of the Very Aggressive mode, in this mode, the size of the middle candle should not be small. In this mode, a larger number of FVGs are eliminated.
Defensive : In addition to the conditions of the Very Aggressive mode, in this mode, the size of the middle candle should be relatively large, and the majority of it should be made up of the body. Additionally, to identify upward FVGs, the second and third candles must be positive, and to identify downward FVGs, the second and third candles must be negative. In this mode, a large number of FVGs are eliminated, leaving only those with suitable quality.
Very Defensive : In addition to the conditions of the Defensive mode, the first and third candles should not be very small-bodied doji candles. In this mode, the majority of FVGs are filtered out, leaving only the highest quality ones.
🔵 Features
Show Demand FVG : Displays demand-related boxes, which can be "off" and "on."
Show Supply FVG : Displays supply-related boxes along the path, and can be turned "off" and "on."
🔵 Indicator Advantages
In this indicator, I have implemented 4 types of "filters" that allow you to select one based on the trading symbol, timeframe, etc. From "Very Aggressive" to "Very Defensive" mode, it is possible to select.
In most indicators, all FVGs are displayed, and the chart becomes full of lines. But this unique feature allows the trader to manage the drawing of boxes.
Pin Bar PrompterRecognition principle of the Pin Bar
1. The K-Chart has a long shadow line
2. The length of the long shadow line must be greater than 2/3 of the length of the body
3. The shadow line above the body is bearish Pin Bar; the shadow line below the body is bullish Pin Bar.
Pin Bar is just a K-Chart pattern and is only used as a basis for judgment and not as investment advice.
Pin Bar识别的逻辑
1.K线有长影线
2.长影线的长度大于整根K长度的2/3
3.影线在实体上方为：看跌pinbar；影线在实体下方为：看涨pinbar
Pin Bar只是一种K线形态，仅作为一种判断依据，不作为投资建议
Dip & Rip Patterns - The Quant Science🇺🇸
GENERAL OVERVIEW
This indicator detects Dip and Rip patterns by quickly highlighting them on the chart.
These patterns have become popular during the pandemic period mainly in the stock, ETF and cryptocurrency markets on which traders use two interesting strategies:
Buy The Dip
Sell The Rip
Before going into the merits of this technical indicator, let's understand what these two patterns mean and what they identify precisely.
Rip (Rise In Price) : wants to identify a market condition in which the price rises rapidly, for example from $100 to $110 in a few minutes or hours.
Dip (Drop In Price) : wants to identify a market condition in which the price drops rapidly, for example from $100 to $90 in a few minutes or hours.
HOW TO USE
For a better user experience, we recommend choosing a neutral colour for the candles while analysing with this indicator. You can quickly change the colour in Chart Settings > Symbol > Candles .
Depending on the configuration set by the user, the indicator will show Dip (Dip In Price) patterns in red and Rip (Rise In Price) patterns in green.
When the pattern forms, a circle will be displayed and a vertical line will be coloured on the chart along with the body of the candle. The user will then be able to quickly and easily track the configured market conditions.
In this example, we decided to use a 4H timeframe on the BTC/USDT pair (Binance).
Set in the user interface:
Period: 20
Dip (%): -25
Rip (%): 20
Price falls by 25% or more in 80 hours (Dip Pattern).
Price rise by 25% or more in 80 hours (Rip Pattern).
The user can easily configure the parameters via the user interface in the Inputs section (A) and change the indicator design in the Properties section (B).
🇮🇹
PANORAMICA GENERALE
Questo indicatore rileva i Dip e Rip patterns evidenziandoli velocemente sul grafico.
Questi patterns sono diventati famosi durante il periodo pandemico principalmente nel mercato delle azioni, ETF e Criptovalute su cui i trader utilizzano due interessanti strategie:
Buy The Dip
Sell The Rip
Prima di entrare nel merito di questo indicatore tecnico, comprendiamo il significato di questi due pattern e cosa identificano precisamente.
Rip (Rise In Price) : vuole identificare una condizione di mercato in cui il prezzo sale rapidamente, per esempio passando da 100$ a 110$ in pochi minuti o poche ore.
Dip (Drop In Price) : vuole identificare una condizione di mercato in cui il prezzo cala rapidamente, per esempio passando da 100$ a 90$ in pochi minuti o poche ore.
UTILIZZO
Per una migliore esperienza utente consigliamo di scegliere un colore neutro per le candele mentre si analizza con questo indicatore. Puoi cambiare velocemente il colore in Chart Settings > Symbol > Candles .
In base alla configurazione impostata dall'utente l'indicatore mostrerà in rosso i pattern Dip (Dip In Price) e in verde i pattern Rip (Rise In Price).
Quando il pattern si forma verrà visualizzato un cerchio e una linea verticale sul grafico che sarà colorata insieme al corpo della candela. L'utente quindi potrà tracciare facilmente e velocemente le condizioni di mercato configurate.
In questo esempio abbiamo deciso di utilizzare un timeframe 4H con l'obbiettivo di ricercare i patterns sul pair BTC/USDT (Binance).
Impostiamo nell'interfaccia utente:
Period: 20
Dip (%): -25
Rip (%): 20
Il prezzo diminuisce del 25% o più in 80 ore (Dip Pattern).
Il prezzo aumenta del 25% o più in 80 ore (Rip Pattern).
L' utente può configurare facilmente i parametri attraverso l'interfaccia utente nella sezione Inputs (A) e modificare il design dell'indicatore nella sezione Properties (B).
Buy/Sell BoxThis indicator tries to identify the points where the price exceeds or falls below a rectangle based on the opening and closing prices of the previous period, the creation of the boxes occurs when a doji is detected therefore it will calculate the coordinates of the rectangle that will be drawn around it, therefore the indicator offers buy or sell signals based on this logic. Specifically, the buy signal is generated if the closing price is above the top of the rectangle and satisfies some previous price conditions while the sell signal is generated if the closing price is below the bottom of the rectangle and satisfies some conditions of previous prices within a further threshold based on the Ema 150.
Lines are then drawn on the graph to visually display the extreme price levels, which can be useful for any confirmation of buy and sell signals, Stop Loss and Take Profit, Trend Filter (to visually understand if the trend is bullish or bearish)
A potentially effective trading strategy could involve identifying buy and sell signals near the extreme price level lines drawn by the indicator. This approach can be used to try to improve the accuracy of your trading signals and make more informed decisions. For example:
When you receive a buy or sell signal based on the dojis and rectangles generated by the indicator, check whether the price is also near one of the extreme price level lines. If you are receiving a buy signal and notice that the current price is near a low of the lower level line, this may further confirm the buying opportunity, as the price is near a significant resistance level. On the contrary, if the sell signal was close to a maximum price level it could confirm an excellent short entry.
It is also possible to use the boxes as reference points to set the stop loss and take profit levels. If you are entering a buy position, you might consider setting your stop loss just below an upper line of the last box. Additionally, you may want to set your take profit near a higher price level if you are looking to maximize profits. This will help manage risks and protect your capital.
Zaree - Bull & Bear Volume VoidThe "Zaree - Bull & Bear Volume Void" (BBVV) indicator is a versatile tool designed to help traders assess the dynamics of bull and bear power in the market, with a focus on volume-based analysis. This indicator offers a range of features that aid in identifying potential shifts in market sentiment and strength.
Details of the Indicator:
Volume Void Color Settings: This indicator allows you to customize the colors used for different conditions, such as strong bull areas, slowing bull areas, strong bear areas, and slowing bear areas. These colors play a crucial role in visualizing the indicator's output.
Volume Void Settings: The BBVV indicator provides options for selecting specific volume void functions, which include "Relative Volume Comparison," "Percentage of Average Volume," "Fixed Volume Threshold," "Volatility-Adjusted Volume," "Compare to Previous Volume Bars," "Volume Percentile Rank," and "Market Session Comparison." Each function has its own criteria for evaluating volume conditions.
Void Bull Sensitivity and Void Bear Sensitivity: These are key parameters in the settings. The values you choose for void bull sensitivity and void bear sensitivity will significantly impact the background color displayed by the indicator. Properly configuring these values is crucial for the indicator's effectiveness.
Moving Average Settings: You can specify the source and length of moving averages used in the indicator. This helps in smoothing out data and providing a clearer picture of bull and bear power.
Void Color Background Conditions: The indicator dynamically changes the background color of the chart based on the current market conditions. It takes into account bull and bear power, as well as the configured sensitivity levels to determine whether the market is in a strong or slowing bull/bear phase.
MACD and Signal Lines: The indicator also displays MACD and signal lines on the chart, helping traders identify potential bullish and bearish crossovers.
Histogram Bars: Histogram bars are used to represent the strength of bull and bear power. Above-zero bars indicate bullish strength, while below-zero bars indicate bearish strength.

Price Strength Index + RSI Buy/Sell ZonesThe Price Strength Index + RSI Buy/Sell Zones indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to evaluate the strength of a financial asset's price movement by comparing it with a series of Volume Weighted Moving Averages (VWMAs) of different lengths calculated from historical data.
Hypothesis :
The core hypothesis behind this indicator is that assessing the relationship between the current price and a range of VWMAs with varying lengths can provide valuable insights into the strength and direction of a price trend. Additionally, it incorporates Relative Strength Index (RSI) conditions to further refine potential buy and sell signals.
How It Works :
Multiple VWMA Calculation: The indicator calculates multiple VWMAs, each with a different length, using historical price data and volume. These VWMAs represent weighted moving averages over various periods, helping to capture different aspects of the price trend.
Comparison with Current Price : For each of these VWMAs, the indicator compares the current bar's price with the VWMA value. This comparison is crucial in understanding how the current price relates to historical averages, shedding light on the strength and direction of the prevailing trend.
SMA of Percentage Above VWMA : The indicator calculates the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the percentage of prices above the various VWMAs over a specified period. This moving average smoothens out the percentage data, providing a clearer trend signal.
Buy and Sell Zones : User-defined upper and lower thresholds for the percentage of prices above the VWMAs are used to define buy and sell zones. When the percentage falls below the lower threshold, it signals a potential buy zone, suggesting a weakening trend. Conversely, when it exceeds the upper threshold, it signifies a potential sell zone, indicating a strengthening trend.
RSI Integration : The RSI is calculated for the selected price source with a specified length. When the SMA of the percentage above VWMAs falls within the buy zone and the RSI is below the lower RSI threshold, it indicates an oversold condition, potentially signaling a buy opportunity. Conversely, when the SMA falls within the sell zone and the RSI is above the upper RSI threshold, it suggests an overbought condition, possibly signaling a sell opportunity.
Color Coding : The indicator employs color-coding to visually represent the buy and sell zones, as well as extreme RSI conditions. Green color denotes the buy zone, red represents the sell zone, and orange lines indicate the median and potential reversal points.
In summary, the Price Strength Index + RSI Buy/Sell Zones indicator leverages multiple VWMAs of different lengths to assess the relationship between current prices and historical moving averages. This comprehensive analysis, coupled with RSI conditions, aids traders in identifying potential buy and sell zones, as well as extreme RSI points within those zones, enhancing the evaluation of price strength and potential trend reversals.
Wick-to-Body Ratio Trend Forecast | Flux ChartsThe Wick-to-Body Ratio Trend Forecast Indicator aims to forecast potential movements following the last closed candle using the wick-to-body ratio. The script identifies those candles within the loopback period with a ratio matching that of the last closed candle and provides an analysis of their trends.
➡️ USAGE
Wick-to-body ratios can be used in many strategies. The most common use in stock trading is to discern bullish or bearish sentiment. This indicator extends candle ratios, revealing previous patterns that follow a candle with a similar ratio. The most basic use of this indicator is the single forecast line.
➡️ FORECASTING SYSTEM
This line displays a compilation of the averages of all the previous trends resulting from those historical candles with a matching ratio. It shows the average movements of the trends as well as the 'strength' of the trend. The 'strength' of the trend is a gradient that is blue when the trend deviates more from the average and red when it deviates less.
Chart: AMEX:SPY 30 min; Indicator Settings: Loopback 700, Previous Trends ON
The color-coded deviation is visible in this image of the indicator with the default settings (except for Forecast Lines > Previous Trends ), and the trend line grows bluer as the past patterns deviate more.
➡️ ADAPTIVE ACCEPTABLE RANGE
The algorithm looks back at every candle within the loopback period to find candles that match the last closed candle. The algorithm adaptively changes the acceptable range to which a candle can differ from the ratio of the last closed candle. The algorithm will never have more than 15 historical points used, as it will lower its sensitivity before it reaches that point.
Chart: BITSTAMP:BTCUSD 5 min; Indicator Settings: Loopback 700
Here is the BTC chart on 7/6/23 with default settings except for the loopback period at 700.
Chart: BITSTAMP:BTCUSD 5 min; Indicator Settings: Loopback 200
Here is the exact same chart with a loopback period of 200. While the first ratio for both is the same, a new ratio is revealed for the chart with a loopback of only 200 because the adaptive range is adjusted in the algorithm to find an acceptable number of reference points. Note the table in the top right however, while the algorithm adapts the acceptable range between the current ratio and historical ones to find reference points, there is a threshold at which candles will be considered too inaccurate to be considered. This prevents meaningless associations between candles due to a particularly rare ratio. This threshold can be adjusted in the settings through "Default Accuracy".
Days Higher Than Current PriceThe "Days Higher Than Current Price" indicator is a color-coded tool that provides insights into the historical price performance of an underlying asset. By analyzing the number of bars prior to the selected day that had higher closing prices, this indicator visually represents the comparative strength or weakness of the current price level.
The "Days Higher" indicator utilizes a color-coded scheme to indicate the number of days in the asset's price history where the closing prices were higher than the current day's price. The color spectrum ranges from red to blue, representing varying levels of historical price strength.
Color Coding:
The color coding scheme of the indicator offers a quick and intuitive understanding of the price performance:
Red: Represents a higher number of days in the asset's price history where the closing prices were higher than the current day's price. This suggests a weaker price trend or a potential reversal and indicates relative price weakness.
Blue: Represents a lower number of days in the asset's price history where the closing prices were higher than the current day's price. This indicates a strong trend of higher prices and suggests relative price strength.
Orange & Green: Correspond to different numbers of days where the closing prices were higher than the current day's price. The specific color gradations between red and blue reflect increasing or decreasing historical price strength.
Methodology:
The "Days Higher" indicator examines each bar in the asset's price history leading up to the selected day. It counts the number of bars where the closing prices were higher than the current day's price.
The indicator then assigns a specific color to the price chart based on the count of such days, providing a visual representation of historical price strength relative to the current price level.
Utility:
The "Days Higher" indicator offers traders and investors a unique perspective on the historical price performance of an asset. By assessing the color-coded chart, market participants can quickly gauge the presence of strong or weak historical price trends.
This information can be used to identify potential support or resistance levels, assess the overall strength of a trend, or evaluate the likelihood of a price reversal. Traders may incorporate this indicator into their analysis to make more informed trading decisions based on the historical price strength indicated by the color-coded chart.
It is important to note that this tool should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators to validate signals and make well-rounded trading decisions.

K's Pivot PointsPivot points are a popular technical analysis tool used by traders to identify potential levels of support and resistance in a given timeframe. Pivot points are derived from previous price action and are used to estimate potential price levels where an asset may experience a reversal, breakout, or significant price movement.
The calculation of pivot points involves a simple formula that takes into account the high, low, and close prices from the previous trading session or a specific period. The most commonly used pivot point calculation method is the "Standard" or "Classic" method. Here's the formula:
Pivot Point (P) = (High + Low + Close) / 3
In addition to the pivot point itself, several support and resistance levels are calculated based on the pivot point value.
K's Pivot Points try to enhance them by incorporating multiple elements and by applying a re-integration strategy to validate two events:
* Found_Support: This event represents a basing market that is bound to recover or at least shape a bounce.
* Found_Resistance: This event represents a toppish market that is bound to consolidate or at least shape a pause.
K's Pivot Points are calculated following these steps:
1. Calculate the highest of highs for the previous 24 periods (preferably hours).
2. Calculate the lowest of lows for the previous 24 periods (preferably hours).
3. Calculate a 24-period (preferably hours) moving average of the close price.
4. Calculate K's Pivot Point as the average between the three previous step.
5. To find the support, use this formula: Support = (Lowest K's pivot point of the last 12 periods * 2) - Step 1
6. To find the resistance, use this formula: Resistance = (Highest K's pivot point of the last 12 periods * 2) - Step 2
The re-integration strategy to find support and resistance areas is as follows:
* A support has been found if the market breaks the support and shapes a close above it afterwards.
* A resistance has been found if the market surpasses the resistance and shapes a close below it afterwards.
The lookback period (whether 24 and 12) can be modified but the default versions work well.
REVE Cohorts - Range Extension Volume Expansion CohortsREVE Cohorts stands for Range Extensions Volume Expansions Cohorts.
Volume is divided in four cohorts, these are depicted in the middle band with colors and histogram spikes.
0-80 percent i.e. low volumes; these get a green color and a narrow histogram bar
80-120 percent, normal volumes, these get a blue color and a narrow histogram bar
120-200 percent, high volume, these get an orange color and a wide histogram bar
200 and more percent is extreme volume, maroon color and wide bar.
All histogram bars have the same length. They point to the exact candle where the volume occurs.
Range is divided in two cohorts, these are depicted as candles above and below the middle band.
0-120 percent: small and normal range, depicted as single size, square candles
120 percent and more, wide range depicted as double size, rectangular candles.
The range candles are placed and colored according to the Advanced Price Algorithm (published script). If the trend is up, the candles are in the uptrend area, which is above the volume band, , downtrend candles below in the downtrend area. Dark blue candles depict a price movement which confirms the uptrend, these are of course in the uptrend area. In this area are also light red candles with a blue border, these depict a faltering price movement countering the uptrend. In the downtrend area, which is below the volume band, are red candles which depict a price movement confirming the downtrend and light blue candles with a red border depicting price movement countering the downtrend. A trend in the Advanced Price Algorithm is in equal to the direction of a simple moving average with the same lookback. The indicator has the same lagging.as this SMA.
Signals are placed in the vacated spaces, e.g. during an uptrend the downtrend area is vacated.
There are six signals, which arise as follows:
1 Two blue triangles up on top of each other: high or extreme volume in combination with wide range confirming uptrend. This indicates strong and effective up pressure in uptrend
2 Two pink tringles down on top of each other: high or extreme volume in combination with wide range down confirming downtrend. This indicates strong and effective down pressure in downtrend
3 Blue square above pink down triangle down: extreme volume in combination with wide range countering uptrend. This indicates a change of heart, down trend is imminent, e.g. during a reversal pattern. Down Pressure in uptrend
4 Pink square below blue triangle up: extreme volume in combination with wide range countering downtrend. This indicates a change of heart, reversal to uptrend is imminent. Up Pressure in downtrend
5 single blue square: a. extreme volume in combination with small range confirming uptrend, b. extreme volume in combination with small range countering downtrend, c. high volume in combination with wide range countering uptrend. This indicates halting upward price movement, occurs often at tops or during distribution periods. Unresolved pressure in uptrend
6 Single pink square: a extreme volume in combination with small range confirming downtrend, b extreme volume in combination with small range countering uptrend, c high volume in combination with wide range countering downtrend. This indicated halting downward price movement. Occurs often at bottoms or during accumulation periods. Unresolved pressure in downtrend.
The signals 5 and 6 are introduced to prevent flipping of signals into their opposite when the lookback is changed. Now signals may only change from unresolved in directional or vice versa. Signals 3 and 4 were introduced to make sure that all occurrences of extreme volume will result in a signal. Occurrences of wide volume only partly lead to a signal.
Use of REVE Cohorts.
This is the indicator for volume-range analyses that I always wanted to have. Now that I managed to create it, I put it in all my charts, it is often the first part I look at, In my momentum investment system I use it primarily in the layout for following open positions. It helps me a lot to decide whether to close or hold a position. The advantage over my previous attempts to create a REVE indicator (published scripts), is that this version is concise because it reports and classifies all possible volumes and ranges, you see periods of drying out of volume, sequences of falter candles, occurrences of high morning volume, warning and confirming signals.. The assessment by script whether some volume should be considered low, normal, high or extreme gives an edge over using the standard volume bars.
Settings of REVE Cohorts
The default setting for lookback is ‘script sets lookback’ I put this in my indicators because I want them harmonized, the script sets lookback according to timeframe. The tooltip informs which lookback will be set at which timeframe, you can enable a feedback label to show the current lookback. If you switch ‘script sets lookback’ off, you can set your own preferred user lookback. The script self-adapts its settings in such a way that it will show up from the very first bar of historical chart data, it adds volume starting at the fourth bar.
You can switch off volume cohorts, only range candles will show while the middle band disappears. Signals will remain if volume is present in the data. Some Instruments have no volume data, e.g. SPX-S&P 500 Index,, then only range candles will be shown.
Colors can be adapted in the inputs. Because the script calculates matching colors with more transparency it is advised to use 100 percent opacity in these settings.
Take care, Eykpunter
Price Delta HeatmapThe Price Delta Heatmap is an indicator designed to visualize the price changes of an asset over time. It helps traders identify and analyze significant price movements and potential volatility. The indicator calculates the price delta, which is the difference between the current close price and the previous close price. It then categorizes the price deltas into different color ranges to create a heatmap-like display on the chart.
The indicator uses user-defined thresholds to determine the color ranges. These thresholds represent the minimum price change required for a specific color to be assigned. The thresholds are adjustable to accommodate different asset classes and trading strategies. Positive price deltas are associated with bullish movements, while negative price deltas represent bearish movements.
The indicator plots bars color-coded according to the price delta range it falls into. The color ranges can be customized to match personal preferences or specific trading strategies. Additionally, the indicator includes signal shapes below the bars to highlight significant positive or negative price deltas. Traders can adjust the threshold values based on their preferred sensitivity to price changes. Higher threshold values may filter out minor price movements and focus on more significant shifts, while lower threshold values will capture even minor fluctuations.
****The default settings have the thresholds set to levels of 100, 50, 20, 10, 0, -10, -20, -50, and -100. These numbers are well-suited for assets such as Ethereum or Bitcoin which are larger in price than an asset that has a price of $1.50, for example. To compensate, adjust the thresholds in the settings to reflect the price delta on the desired asset. All coloration and horizontal line plots will adjust to reflect these changes.****
Traders can interpret the Price Delta Heatmap as follows:
-- Bright green bars indicate the highest positive price deltas, suggesting strong bullish price movements.
-- Green bars represent positive price deltas above the third threshold, indicating significant bullish price changes.
-- Olive bars indicate positive price deltas above the second threshold, suggesting moderate bullish price movements.
-- Yellow bars represent positive price deltas above the lowest threshold, indicating minor bullish price changes. This color is reflected on the negative side as well. Yellow bars below zero indicate negative price deltas below the lowest threshold, suggesting minor bearish price changes.
-- White bars represent zero price deltas, indicating no significant price movement.
-- Orange bars represent negative price deltas below the second threshold, indicating moderate bearish price movements.
-- Red bars indicate negative price deltas below the third threshold, suggesting significant bearish price changes.
-- Maroon bars represent the lowest negative price deltas, indicating strong bearish price movements.
The coloration of the Price Delta line itself is determined by the line's relation to the second positive and second negative thresholds (default +/- 20) - if the line is above the second positive threshold, the line is colored lime (and is reflected in a lime arrow at the bottom of the indicator); if the line is below the second negative threshold, the line is colored fuchsia (also reflected as an arrow); if the line is between thresholds, it is colored aqua.
The Price Delta Heatmap can be used in various trading strategies and applications. Some potential use cases include:
-- Trend identification : The indicator helps traders identify periods of high volatility and potential trend reversals.
-- Volatility analysis : By observing the color changes in the heatmap, traders can gauge the volatility of an asset and adjust their risk management strategies accordingly.
-- Confirmation tool : The indicator can be used as a confirmation tool alongside other technical indicators, such as trend-following indicators or oscillators.
-- Breakout trading : Traders can look for price delta bars of a specific color range to identify potential breakout opportunities.
However, it's important to note that the Price Delta Heatmap has certain limitations. These include:
-- Lagging nature : The indicator relies on historical price data, which means it may not provide real-time insights into price movements.
-- Sensitivity to thresholds : The choice of threshold values affects the indicator's sensitivity and may vary depending on the asset being traded. It requires experimentation and adjustment to find optimal values.
-- Market conditions : The indicator's effectiveness may vary depending on market conditions, such as low liquidity or sudden news events.
Traders should consider using the Price Delta Heatmap in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and incorporate risk management strategies to enhance their trading decisions.
Candle Color OverlayDescription:
The Candle Color Overlay (CCO) indicator is a powerful tool for visualizing price movements on a chart. It overlays the chart with customizable colors, highlighting bullish and bearish candles based on their open and close values. This indicator helps traders quickly identify the direction of price movements and assess market sentiment.
How it Works:
The Candle Color Overlay indicator performs the following steps:
1. Calculation of the OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) values for each candle based on the selected timeframe.
2. Classification of each candle as bullish or bearish:
- A bullish candle is when the closing price is greater than or equal to the opening price.
- A bearish candle is when the closing price is lower than the opening price.
3. Overlaying colors on the chart:
- The indicator applies a bullish color to the background when candles are classified as bullish and a bearish color to the background when candles classified as bearish. This overlay provides a visual representation of price movements.
4. Optional display of price movement labels:
- If enabled, the indicator shows a text label at the bottom of the current candle, indicating the percentage increase or decrease in price during a bullish or bearish background period.
Usage:
To effectively use the Candle Color Overlay indicator, follow these steps:
1. Add the indicator to your chart from the list of available indicators.
2. Configure the indicator's inputs:
- Choose the desired color for bullish candles using the "Bullish Color" input.
- Select the preferred color for bearish candles using the "Bearish Color" input.
- Specify the timeframe for analysis using the "Time Frame" input (default is 1 hour).
- Optionally enable the "Show Background Price Movement" input to display the percentage increase or decrease in price during each background period.
3. Analyze the colored overlay:
- Bullish colors represent candles where the closing price is greater than or equal to the opening price, indicating bullish sentiment.
- Bearish colors represent candles where the closing price is lower than the opening price, indicating bearish sentiment.
4. If enabled, observe the price movement labels
5. Combine the insights from the colored overlay and the price movement labels with other technical analysis tools, such as trend lines, support and resistance levels, or candlestick patterns, to make well-informed trading decisions.
Divergence IndicatorDescription:
The Divergence Indicator (DI) is a powerful technical analysis tool designed to identify potential bullish and bearish signals based on multiple indicators, including RSI, Stochastic Oscillator, MACD, and EMA. It helps traders spot divergences between price and these indicators, indicating potential trend reversals or continuations.
How it Works:
The Divergence Indicator compares various indicators and their relationships with price to identify bullish and bearish signals. It considers conditions such as rising or falling values of the Stochastic Oscillator (%K), RSI, and MACD lines, as well as the crossover and crossunder of the MACD Line and Signal Line. Additionally, it evaluates the relationship between fast and slow Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) to detect divergences. When a bullish or bearish condition is met, circles are plotted on the chart to highlight the signals.
Usage:
To effectively utilize the Divergence Indicator, follow these steps:
1. Apply the DI indicator to your chart by adding it from the available indicators.
2. Customize the color settings to suit your preferences. The bullish and bearish colors determine the colors of the plotted circles.
3. Observe the circles plotted on the chart:
- Bullish circles indicate potential bullish signals.
- Bearish circles indicate potential bearish signals.
4. Interpret the signals provided by the indicator:
- A bullish signal may occur when there is price divergence accompanied by rising values of the Stochastic Oscillator (%K), RSI, and MACD lines, or when the MACD Line crosses above the Signal Line. Additionally, a histogram value close to zero may strengthen the signal.
- A bearish signal may occur when there is price divergence accompanied by falling values of the Stochastic Oscillator (%K), RSI, and MACD lines, or when the MACD Line crosses below the Signal Line. A histogram value close to zero may also strengthen the signal.
5. Be cautious of false signals by considering additional factors such as the relationship between the fast and slow Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). If the EMAs or MACD values do not support the identified divergence, the signal may be less reliable.
6. Combine the signals from the Divergence Indicator with other technical analysis tools, such as support and resistance levels, trend lines, or candlestick patterns, to confirm potential trade setups.
7. Implement appropriate risk management strategies, including setting stop-loss orders and position sizing, to manage your trades effectively and protect your capital.
Note: The Divergence Indicator provides valuable insights into potential trend reversals or continuations based on divergences between price and multiple indicators. However, it is recommended to use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and perform thorough analysis before making trading decisions.
Histogram Momentum Shaded CandlesDescription:
The Histogram Momentum Shaded Candles indicator (HMSC) is a powerful technical analysis tool that combines the concepts of the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator and shaded candlestick visualization. It provides insights into momentum and trend strength by representing the MACD histogram as shaded candles on the chart.
How it Works:
The HMSC indicator calculates the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) using user-defined parameters such as the fast length, slow length, source, signal smoothing, and moving average types. It then calculates the MACD histogram by subtracting the signal line from the MACD line. The indicator transforms the histogram values into transparency levels for the shaded candles, representing bullish and bearish momentum.
Usage:
To effectively utilize the Histogram Momentum Shaded Candles indicator, follow these steps:
1. Apply the HMSC indicator to your chart by adding it from the available indicators.
2. Customize the MACD settings such as the fast length, slow length, source, signal smoothing, and moving average types according to your trading preferences.
3. Observe the shaded candles plotted on the chart:
- Bullish shaded candles (green by default) indicate positive momentum and potential buying pressure.
- Bearish shaded candles (red by default) indicate negative momentum and potential selling pressure.
4. Assess the intensity of the shaded candles:
5. Shading intensity is determined by the magnitude of the MACD histogram, with higher values resulting in more opaque candles.
6. The shading intensity reflects the strength of momentum and can help identify significant shifts in price action.
7. Combine the analysis of shaded candles with traditional candlestick patterns, trend lines, support and resistance levels, and other technical indicators to validate potential trade setups.
8. Implement appropriate risk management strategies, including setting stop-loss orders and position sizing, to manage your trades effectively and protect your capital.
Breaker Blocks with Signals [LuxAlgo]The Breaker Blocks with Signals indicator aims to highlight a complete methodology based on breaker blocks. Breakout signals between the price and breaker blocks are highlighted and premium/discount swing levels are included to provide potential take profit/stop loss levels.
This script also includes alerts for each signal highlighted.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Breaker Blocks
Length: Sensitivity of the detected swings used to construct breaker blocks. Higher values will return longer term breaker blocks.
Use only candle body: Only use the candle body when determining the maximum/minimum extremities of the order blocks.
Use 2 candles instead of 1: Use two candles to confirm the occurrence of a breaker block.
Stop at first break of center line: Do not highlight breakout signals after invalidation until reset.
🔹 PD Array
Only when E is in premium/discount zone: Only set breaker block if point E of wave ABCDE is within the corresponding zone.
Show premium discount zone: Show premium/discount zone.
Highlight Swing Break: Highlight occurrences of price breaking a previous swing level.
Show Swings/PD Arrays: Show swing levels/labels and pd areas.
🔶 USAGE
The Breaker Blocks with Signals indicator aims to provide users with a minimalistic display alongside optimal signals to be aware of for finding trade setups as shown below.
Here we can see a MSS occurred allowing the indicator to detect a Breaker Block (-BB) & display a red arrow to confirm this signal.
The signal(s) that can be used for potential entries are only during retests of the breaker blocks.
A potential strategy traders could use with this indicator is to target the corresponding Discount PD Arrays detected (for a short position) and Premium PD Arrays (for a long position).
In the image above we can see price generated the potential entry signals in orange & fell to the Discount PD Arrays as a logical setup to look for with this indicator.
As we can see in the image above, signals can be considered invalid when price closes above the 50% level in which it would be suggested to wait for another setup.
Users still looking for more potential setups based on the same breaker block can disable the "Stop at first break of center line" setting within the settings menu.
In the image above we can see a bullish example whereas price confirmed a bullish breaker block (+BB), had a quick pullback into it that was confirmed by the green arrow, and then reached the Premium PD Arrays.
While retests of breaker blocks can still function well if they occur later in the price action, it's most preferable for users to look for entry signals that are near confirmed breaker blocks (5-10 bars) opposed to waiting 20+ bars.
Additional take profits based on the occurence of the breaker blocks are given in order to provide targets after the occurence of a breaker block breakout.
🔶 DETAILS
Breaker blocks are formed after a mitigated order block, these can provide change of polarity opportunities, thus playing a role as a potential support/resistance. It is the re-test/retrace of price to a breaker block that will set the conditions to provide signals.
The above chart describes the creation of a breaker block.
The signal generation logic makes use of various rules described below:
Bullish Breaker Blocks:
opening price is within the breaker block, while the closing price is above the upper extremity of the breaker block.
Price did not cross the breaker block average in the interval since the previous breakout.
Bearish Breaker Blocks:
opening price is within the breaker block, while the closing price is below the lower extremity of the breaker block.
Price did not cross the breaker block average in the interval since the previous breakout.
When a new pattern is formed, all previous drawings are removed.
🔶 RELATED SCRIPTS
Advanced Price Direction bar colorsIn the advanced price direction algorithm situations of faltering price directions (fda) are identified.
These are very interesting, because this happens at tops, flags and trend turns.
I got the idea of coloring the bars with fda in a distinguishing color, reddish gray for fda down and blueish gray for faltering up.
The remaining bars retain standard color, but now this color 'confirms' the trend.
To show that this is true, I also plot a simple moving average (sma) with the same length in the chart.
It turns out that somehow the bars react to being above or below the sma, but also react to the direction of the sma.
Very interesting.
Have fun
