Chessboard Support & ResistanceThe “Chessboard Support & Resistance” indicator is designed to assist traders in visualizing key levels of support and resistance on a chart by employing ATR (Average True Range) to create dynamic horizontal zones. This indicator automatically plots robust support and resistance bands that can help identify potential areas where price may reverse, consolidate, or react. These levels are particularly beneficial for traders who employ concepts like Smart Money analysis, as they illustrate zones where institutional trading activity might occur.
How It Works:
• The indicator uses ATR-based calculations to determine the placement of the support and resistance zones. This approach accounts for market volatility, making the zones adaptive to changing conditions.
• The Zone Thickness parameter allows users to customize the width of the plotted zones, enhancing visibility and fitting them to their specific trading style.
• The support and resistance zones extend horizontally across the chart, providing clear reference points for potential price reactions.
Practical Application:
• Trend Analysis: Identify areas of significant price resistance and support to understand potential turning points or trends in the market.
• Risk Management: Use these zones to better inform stop-loss placements or set profit targets.
• Confirmation Tool: Combine the indicator with other technical analysis tools for confirmation of potential trade entries or exits.
Customization Options:
• Change the colors of the support and resistance zones for better integration with different chart themes.
• Adjust the ATR Length and Multiplier to fine-tune the sensitivity of the zones based on personal preferences and the characteristics of the asset being analyzed.

Supply and Demand
Supply and Demand Zones
Script Introduction:
I have spent a long time searching for the perfect supply and demand zone indicator, but most of the ones I found were based on lines instead of proper zones, which didn’t quite meet my needs. After much trial and error, I decided to build my own indicator that generates clear and reliable supply and demand zones based on price swings and volatility. This indicator dynamically adjusts to market conditions, creating zones that are more responsive to price movements. Whether you're day trading or swing trading, this indicator will help you identify key price levels where buying and selling pressures exist.
Overview:
This indicator identifies supply and demand zones based on swing highs and lows, combined with market volatility. These zones represent areas where price is likely to experience reversals due to buying or selling pressures. The zones are displayed as rectangles (boxes) rather than lines, making it easier to visualize the areas of interest on the chart.
How the Indicator Works:
1. Supply Zones (Red Box):
- A supply zone is identified when the price forms a swing high (a local high point) and there is sufficient volatility (using ATR). The zone represents an area where sellers are likely to step in and push the price down.
2. Demand Zones (Green Box):
- A demand zone is identified when the price forms a swing low (a local low point) and volatility is sufficient. The zone represents an area where buyers are likely to step in and push the price up.
3. Extension Direction:
- You can control whether the zones extend to the left, to the right, or both directions. This lets you choose how far back or forward you want the zones to appear on the chart.
4. Volatility Filter (ATR Multiplier):
- The indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) to filter out minor price movements. The ATR multiplier is hardcoded to 0.25, meaning that the indicator is more responsive to smaller price swings. This setting helps the zones adjust dynamically to changing market conditions.
How to Use the Indicator:
1. Adding to Chart:
- After publishing, you or invited users can apply the script to any chart. The indicator will automatically generate supply (red) and demand (green) zones.
2. Settings:
- Swing Length (Look-back Period): This controls how many bars back the script looks for significant swing highs and lows. Increasing this value will create zones based on larger swings.
- Extend Zone Horizontally (Bars): This controls how far the zones extend horizontally (left or right). You can adjust this to make the zones extend more or less on the chart.
- Extension Direction: Choose whether the zones extend to the left, right, or both directions. This gives flexibility on how you want the zones to display on the chart.
- Supply Zone Color: You can customize the color and opacity of the supply zone (default is red).
- Demand Zone Color: You can customize the color and opacity of the demand zone (default is green).
Best Practices for Trading:
- Combine with Other Indicators: While supply and demand zones are powerful on their own, combining this indicator with other tools like moving averages, volume analysis, or momentum indicators can provide further confirmation of potential price reversals.
- Watch for Price Action in Zones: When price approaches a supply or demand zone, watch for price action signals such as candlestick patterns (e.g., pin bars, engulfing candles) that can give you an idea of whether the zone will hold or break.
- Adjust for Different Timeframes: The indicator works well across different timeframes. Use a higher look-back period for larger timeframes (e.g., 4-hour, daily) and a lower look-back period for shorter timeframes (e.g., 5-minute, 15-minute charts).
Final Notes:
This script is intended to help traders identify key supply and demand zones and make better trading decisions. Since it dynamically adjusts to market volatility, it is well-suited for both day traders and swing traders who want to capture price reversals at significant levels.
Volume on levels @gauranshgVolume on Levels @gauranshg is a powerful Pine Script designed to visualize trading volume across price levels directly on the chart. This script allows users to observe volume intensity, offering a clearer perspective on price action and potential support/resistance areas. By utilizing a dynamic, customizable multiplier, the volume is normalized and displayed in proportion, ensuring better scalability across various timeframes and assets.
Usage:
Normalization of Volume: Users can input a multiplier to adjust the normalization of volume. This is useful when analyzing assets with differing price and volume ranges.
Input of 1 means 1 Million volume will be marked with green color of opacity 1 and 2 Million as 2 and so on. In case you are looking at chart with very high volume, you might want to increase the multiplies
Default multiplier is set to 1, and can be customized for different scales.
Volume Visualization: The volume is displayed on the chart as background boxes behind price levels, with the opacity of the boxes changing based on the normalized volume. This helps to quickly visualize areas of high and low trading activity.
This script is ideal for investors who wish to enhance their volume analysis by visualizing it directly on price levels in a clear, normalized format.
Institutional Demand Supply IndicatorINTRODUCTION
Institutional demand and supply zones are key areas on a price chart where large institutional traders, such as banks and hedge funds, place significant buy or sell orders. These zones often act as strong support or resistance levels due to the substantial volume of trades executed by institutions.
There are various ways to identify these areas of interest on the charts, but the main goal is to study the price movements, especially significant ones. Large financial entities tend to operate in the same price areas repeatedly. Instead of chasing price movements and risking counter moves, it's better to wait for the price to return to these areas, expecting that these entities will buy or sell there again.
INDICATOR SETTINGS:
1. High Probability Zones (HPZ) - High Probability Zones (HPZ) are demand and supply zones identified using advanced calculations to highlight the most relevant and significant areas. These zones have a higher probability of impacting price movements. Better to keep it turned On.
2. Zone Extension? - Extending zones can be useful for identifying areas that have already been retraced as these zones may continue to influence market dynamics despite the retracement.
3. Zone Type - This option lets you select the zone layout type. 4 options are given which are self explanatory.
4. Directional Candle Count - This option keeps a count of number of consecutive bullish / bearish candle that you would like to set as qualifying parameter for demand / supply zone. For Example - If you keep the number 1, the script will draw a demand or supply zone by just checking if 1 candle has met all the criteria's and calculations.
5. Zone Validity Percentage - You can set the percent change for the number of candles mentioned in point 4 above.
6. HPZ - Keep the number between 6 to 10. As you move the number up, less number of zones will be displayed.
7. Zone Count - You can adjust the number of visible demand and supply zones on the chart. Increase this number if you want to display more zones, or decrease it if the chart becomes too cluttered.
D I S P L A Y
1. Background Color Demand / Supply Zone - This is the background color of demand and supply zone.
2. Channel Color Demand / Supply Zone - This is the color of channel.
3. Channel Line Style - Choose between Solid, dotted or dashed.
4. Background Color Transparency - Choose the transparency of background color
5. Channel Line Width - Choose Channel line width between 1 to 4.
6. Channel Line Transparency - Choose Channel Line Transparency and keep it between 1 to 100.
Sometimes, a level may be breached on one timeframe, but that doesn’t mean the indicator is not working. To understand the price action better, switch to a different timeframe to check why that level was breached and why it found support at a different zone on another timeframe. Look at the 2 screenshots below.
Cumulative Delta [TradingFinder] Volume + Periodic + EMA🔵 Introduction
To fully grasp the concept of Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), it's essential first to understand Volume Delta. In trading and technical analysis, the term "Delta" typically refers to the difference between two values or the rate of change between two data points.
Volume Delta represents the difference between buying and selling pressure, calculated for each candlestick on a chart. This difference can vary across different timeframes.
A positive delta indicates that buying volume exceeds selling volume, while a negative delta shows that selling volume is greater. When buying and selling volumes are equal, the volume delta equals zero.
🟣 What is Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)?
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is a powerful tool in technical analysis that aggregates delta values for each candlestick, creating a comprehensive indicator that helps traders assess market trends.
Unlike the standard Volume Delta, which compares delta on a candle-by-candle basis, CVD provides insight into the overall buying and selling pressure during key market swings. A downward-trending CVD suggests that selling pressure is dominating, which is typically a bearish signal.
Conversely, an upward-trending CVD indicates bullish sentiment. This analysis becomes even more significant when comparing CVD with price action and market structure, helping traders to predict asset price directions.
By evaluating market highs and lows, one can determine the market trend. A consistent rise in these points indicates an uptrend, while a consistent fall suggests a downtrend.
🔵 How to Use
Understanding how to detect trend changes using Cumulative Volume Delta is crucial for traders. Typically, CVD aligns with market structure, moving in the same direction as price trends.
However, divergences between CVD and price trends or signs of exhaustion in volume can be powerful indicators of potential market reversals. Recognizing these patterns can help traders make informed decisions and improve their trading strategies.
🟣 Identifying Trend Exhaustion with Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)
The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicator is especially effective in identifying weakening trends in the market. For instance, if gold's price hits a new low, but CVD does not follow suit, this may indicate a lack of seller interest despite the new low, signaling potential seller exhaustion.
Most traders interpret this as a possible reversal from a bearish to a bullish trend. Similarly, if gold reaches a new high but CVD fails to do the same, it can suggest that buyers lack the strength to push the market higher, indicating a possible trend reversal.
🟣 Utilizing Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Divergence in Price Trend Analysis
Another effective use of CVD is identifying divergences in price trends. For example, if CVD breaks a previous high or low while the price remains stable, this divergence often indicates that buying or selling pressure is being absorbed.
For instance, if CVD rises sharply without a corresponding increase in gold prices, it may suggest that sellers are absorbing the buying pressure, potentially leading to a strong sell-off. Conversely, if gold prices remain stable while CVD declines, it could indicate that buyers are absorbing selling pressure, likely leading to a price increase once selling subsides.
🔵 Setting
Cumulative Mode : It has three modes "Total", "Periodic" and "EMA". In "Total" mode, it collects the volume from the beginning to the end. In "Periodic" mode, it accumulates the volume periodically and in "EMA" mode, it calculates the moving average of the volume.
Period : You can set the period of " Periodic " and " EMA " modes.
Market Ultra Data : If you turn on this feature, 26 large brokers will be included in the calculation of the trading volume.
The advantage of this capability is to have more reliable volume data. You should be careful to specify the market you are in, FOREX brokers and Crypto brokers are different.
🔵 Conclusion
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is a powerful analytical tool in financial markets that helps analysts and traders assess buying and selling pressure by aggregating and combining the volume delta for each candlestick.
CVD can indicate the strength or weakness of a market trend. When CVD moves upward, it signals that buying pressure is dominant and is considered a bullish signal; conversely, a downward movement in CVD indicates that selling pressure is stronger and is viewed as a bearish signal.
This indicator is particularly effective in identifying divergences and exhaustion in market trends. For example, if CVD does not align with price movements, it may suggest a potential trend reversal.
Traders use this information to make more informed trading decisions, especially when identifying entry and exit points in the market.
Overall, CVD is a tool that enables analysts to better understand market fluctuations and more accurately predict future market trends.

Swing Trend AnalysisIntroducing the Swing Trend Analyzer: A Powerful Tool for Swing and Positional Trading
The Swing Trend Analyzer is a cutting-edge indicator designed to enhance your swing and positional trading by providing precise entry points based on volatility contraction patterns and other key technical signals. This versatile tool is packed with features that cater to traders of all timeframes, offering flexibility, clarity, and actionable insights.
Key Features:
1. Adaptive Moving Averages:
The Swing Trend Analyzer offers multiple moving averages tailored to the timeframe you are trading on. On the daily chart, you can select up to four different moving average lengths, while all other timeframes provide three moving averages. This flexibility allows you to fine-tune your analysis according to your trading strategy. Disabling a moving average is as simple as setting its value to zero, making it easy to customize the indicator to your needs.
2. Dynamic Moving Average Colors Based on Relative Strength:
This feature allows you to compare the performance of the current ticker against a major index or any symbol of your choice. The moving average will change color based on whether the ticker is outperforming or underperforming the selected index over the chosen period. For example, on a daily chart, if the 21-day moving average turns blue, it indicates that the ticker has outperformed the selected index over the last 21 days. This visual cue helps you quickly identify relative strength, a key factor in successful swing trading.
3. Visual Identification of Price Contractions:
The Swing Trend Analyzer changes the color of price bars to white (on a dark theme) or black (on a light theme) when a contraction in price is detected. Price contractions are highlighted when either of the following conditions is met: a) the current bar is an inside bar, or b) the price range of the current bar is less than the 14-period Average Daily Range (ADR). This feature makes it easier to spot price contractions across all timeframes, which is crucial for timing entries in swing trading.
4. Overhead Supply Detection with Automated Resistance Lines:
The indicator intelligently detects the presence of overhead supply and draws a single resistance line to avoid clutter on the chart. As price breaches the resistance line, the old line is automatically deleted, and a new resistance line is drawn at the appropriate level. This helps you focus on the most relevant resistance levels, reducing noise and improving decision-making.
5. Buyable Gap Up Marker: The indicator highlights bars in blue when a candle opens with a gap that remains unfilled. These bars are potential Buyable Gap Up (BGU) candidates, signaling opportunities for long-side entries.
6. Comprehensive Swing Trading Information Table:
The indicator includes a detailed table that provides essential data for swing trading:
a. Sector and Industry Information: Understand the sector and industry of the ticker to identify stocks within strong sectors.
b. Key Moving Averages Distances (10MA, 21MA, 50MA, 200MA): Quickly assess how far the current price is from key moving averages. The color coding indicates whether the price is near or far from these averages, offering vital visual cues.
c. Price Range Analysis: Compare the current bar's price range with the previous bar's range to spot contraction patterns.
d. ADR (20, 10, 5): Displays the Average Daily Range over the last 20, 10, and 5 periods, crucial for identifying contraction patterns. On the weekly chart, the ADR continues to provide daily chart information.
e. 52-Week High/Low Data: Shows how close the stock is to its 52-week high or low, with color coding to highlight proximity, aiding in the identification of potential breakout or breakdown candidates.
f. 3-Month Price Gain: See the price gain over the last three months, which helps identify stocks with recent momentum.

Supply and Demand StrategyOverview
This strategy is designed to identify key supply (resistance) and demand (support) zones on a price chart. These zones represent areas where the price has historically shown a significant reaction, either bouncing up from a demand zone or dropping down from a supply zone. The strategy provides clear entry and exit points for trades based on these zones.
Key Components
Supply and Demand Zones:
Supply Zone: An area where the price has reversed from an uptrend to a downtrend. It represents a high concentration of sellers.
Demand Zone: An area where the price has reversed from a downtrend to an uptrend. It represents a high concentration of buyers.
Time Frames:
Use higher time frames (like daily or weekly) to identify key supply and demand zones.
Use lower time frames (like 1-hour or 4-hour) to pinpoint precise entry and exit points within these zones.
Confirmation:
Use price action and candlestick patterns (like pin bars or engulfing patterns) to confirm potential reversals in these zones.
Supply & Demand (MTF) | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Supply and Demand (MTF) Indicator! This new indicator renders Supply and Demand zones based on momentum candles. It can detect Supply and Demand zones across up to 3 diferent timeframes. It's capable of combining zones, retest & break labels and it's customizable with invalidation and style settings.
Features of the new Supply and Demand (MTF) Indicator:

Combination Of Overlapping Zones
Retest & Break Labels
Retest & Break Alerts
Enable / Disable Historic Zones
Visual Customizability
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Supply and Demand is a key concept in trading. It helps traders see the zones that market-makers buy & sell the asset in large amounts. It's detected by finding momentum candles (candles that have large bodies) in a row.
Momentum candles are defined to have a larger body than the average candle in the chart, and at least 4 of them in a row is required to draw a supply or demand zone. The zone is drawn from the high wick to low wick of two candles before the first momentum candle in the row.
Check this example :
These zones are usually where market makers trade the asset in larger amounts. Thus, they act as support & resistance zones by their nature. A retest of these zones can make the price bounce to the opposite direction, while a breakout usually means strong price action momentum is incoming in that direction. Supply zones indicate bearish momentum while demand zones indicate bullish momentum.
Check this example :
Here a Supply Zone (Bearish) forms. Then price comes back up to test the zone, and it fails to break. After the failed attemp, a stong bearish momentum takes the price back to a lower level. Then another test of the zone occurs and successfully breaks the zone this time. This breakout starts a bullish momentum that takes the price to a higher level.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator provides Supply and Demand zones in your chart with pure simplicity. It supports up to 3 different timeframes as we believe supporting your trades with higher timeframes can improve your trading experience. It also gets rid of complexity by combining overlapping zones into a single zone, even if they are from different timeframes!

Indecisive and Explosive CandlesThe Explosive & Base Candle with Gaps Identifier is an indicator designed to enhance your market analysis by identifying critical candle types and gaps in price action. This tool aids traders in pinpointing zones of significant buyer-seller interaction and potential institutional activity, providing valuable insights for strategic trading decisions.
Main Features:
Base Candle Identification: This feature detects Base candles, also known as indecisive candles, within the price action. A Base candle is characterized by a body (the difference between the close and open prices) that is less than or equal to 50% of its total range (the difference between the high and low prices). These candles mark zones where buyers and sellers are evenly matched, highlighting areas of potential support and resistance.
Explosive Candle Identification: The indicator identifies Explosive candles, which are indicative of strong market moves often driven by institutional activity. An Explosive candle is defined by a body that is greater than 70% of its total range. Recognizing these candles helps traders spot significant momentum and potential breakout points.
Supply and Demand Zone Identification: Both Base and Explosive candles are essential for identifying supply and demand zones within the price action. These zones are crucial for traders to place their trades based on the likelihood of price reversals or continuations.
Gap Detection: The indicator also detects gaps, defined as the difference between the close price of one candle and the open price of the next. Gaps are significant because prices often return to these levels to "fill the gap," providing opportunities for traders to predict price movements and place strategic trades.
Visual Markings and Alerts: The indicator visually marks Base and Explosive candles as well as gaps directly on the chart, making them easily identifiable at a glance. Traders can also set customizable alerts to notify them when these key candle types and gaps appear, ensuring they never miss an important trading opportunity.
Customizable Settings: Tailor the indicator’s settings to match your trading style and preferences. Adjust the criteria for Base and Explosive candles, as well as how gaps are detected and displayed, to suit your specific analysis needs.
How to Use:
Add the Indicator: Apply the Explosive & Base Candle with Gaps Identifier to your TradingView chart.
Analyze Identified Zones: Observe the marked Base and Explosive candles and gaps to identify key areas of support, resistance, and potential price reversals or continuations.
Set Alerts: Customize and set alerts for the detection of Base candles, Explosive candles, and gaps to stay informed of critical market movements in real-time.
Integrate with Your Strategy: Use the insights provided by the indicator to enhance your existing trading strategy, improving your entry and exit points based on the identified supply and demand zones.
The Explosive & Base Candle with Gaps Identifier is an invaluable tool for traders aiming to refine their market analysis and make more informed trading decisions. By identifying critical areas of price action, this indicator supports traders in navigating the complexities of the financial markets with greater precision and confidence.
Indecisive CandlesAn Indecisive Candle, often referred to as a Base Candle, is a pivotal element in technical analysis, particularly for identifying institutional supply and demand zones. These candles are characterized by their small bodies and long wicks, reflecting a balance between buyers and sellers, indicating a potential pause or consolidation in the market.
To calculate whether a candle qualifies as an indecisive candle based on the criterion that its body (the absolute difference between its open and close prices) is less than or equal to 50% of the total range of the candle (the difference between its high and low prices).
Key Features:
Small Real Body: Signifies minimal movement from open to close, indicating market indecision.
Long Upper and Lower Wicks: Show that both bulls and bears attempted to control the price, but neither succeeded, leading to a standoff.
Formation Context: Typically found at the end of a strong trend or within a consolidation phase, hinting at a potential reversal or continuation pattern.
Usage in Identifying Institutional Supply and Demand:
Supply Zones: When an Indecisive Candle forms after a rally, it can mark the onset of an institutional supply zone, suggesting that large entities are starting to sell, leading to potential downward pressure.
Demand Zones: Conversely, when this candle appears after a downtrend, it often signals the emergence of a demand zone, where institutions begin to accumulate, anticipating a price increase.
Trading Strategies:
Zone Identification: Use Indecisive Candles to pinpoint key supply and demand zones on your chart, enhancing the accuracy of your support and resistance levels.
Confirmation: Look for confirmation from subsequent price action or volume spikes to validate the presence of institutional activity before making trading decisions.
Risk Management: Place stop-loss orders beyond the wicks of these candles to protect against false breakouts or continued indecision.
Conclusion:
Indecisive Candles are essential tools for traders looking to understand market sentiment and institutional behavior. By mastering their identification and interpretation, you can enhance your ability to spot high-probability trading opportunities and manage risks effectively.

Chapter 04: SCOB on LTF and SCM on HTF across same Candle
with MTF Internal Ranges Analysis - IRA - Phoenix , explores the concepts of SCOB (Single Candle Order Block) on Lower Timeframes (LTF) and SCM (Single Candle Mitigation) on Higher Timeframes (HTF).
SCOB on LTF refers to the identification and analysis of single candle order blocks within shorter timeframes. These blocks represent critical price levels where significant buying or selling activity occurred within a single candlestick. By recognizing SCOB patterns, traders can pinpoint key areas of market interest and anticipate potential price movements.
On the other hand, SCM on HTF involves analyzing single candle mitigation entries within longer timeframes. This technique aims to capitalize on price reversals or shifts in market sentiment indicated by single candlestick patterns. By incorporating SCM analysis, traders can gain insights into broader market trends and make strategic trading decisions accordingly.
the intricacies of SCOB on LTF and SCM on HTF, offering traders valuable tools to enhance their analysis and decision-making processes across different timeframes. Through a comprehensive understanding of these concepts, traders can identify high-probability trading opportunities and navigate the markets with confidence.

SMC Fake Zones + InsideBarThis indicator is useful for whom trade with "Smart Money Concept (SMC)" strategy.
It helps SMD traders to identify fake or weak zones in the chart, So they can avoid taking position in this zones.
This indicator marks "Asia session" as well as "London and New York's Lunch Time (one hour before London and NY session starts)" zones.
It also marks Inside Bar candles which SMC trades consider as order flow. You can mark every Inside Bar or only those with opposite color via setting options.
*** As we know in SMC rules
1- Supply and Demand zones in "Asia session and Lunch Times" are fake zones for SMC trading and price will engulf them in most of times.
2- "Asia session high and low" has huge liquidity and usually price sweep that in London session.
This indicator will helps traders to visually identify those Fake zones and Asia session liquidity.
* You can change session times based on your time zone in settings.
* You can set options to show all Inside Bars or only with Opposite color in settings.
Institutional Supply and Demand ZonesThis indicator aims to identify price levels where institutional investors have positioned their buy or sell orders. These buy orders establish "demand zones," while sell orders create "supply zones." Identifying these zones enables us to anticipate potential reversals in price trends, allowing us to profitably engage in these significant market movements alongside major institutions. These zones are formed when price action goes from balanced to imbalanced. These zones are based on orders. Unlike standard support and resistance levels, when price breaks below a demand zone or above a supply zone, these zones disappear from the chart.
Supply is formed by a green candle followed by a major red candle that is at least double the size of previous green candle. The zone is then charted from the open of the green candle to the highest point in the candle. Vice versa for a demand zone (red into green).
These zones are traded by:
1. Look for a volume spike in a zone
2. A trend/trendline break out of the zone
Trendlines [TradesAI]What is it?
This indicator allows the user to pick any Candle (preferably a Pivot, for better results) to draw the most relevant Trendlines from it as Origin, while keeping track of candle closes across these Trendlines to adjust or invalidate accordingly.
It allows for up to 2 Origins to be picked on chart. Remember to pick a Bullish candle to draw Downtrends, and a Bearish candle to draw Uptrends. The algorithm will draw the most suitable Active Trendlines from those Origin points.
How does it do it?
The indicator takes the Origin point as the first point of the Trendline, then starts looking for the immediate next same-type candle (Bullish to Bullish or Bearish to Bearish), to draw the Trendline between the Origin candle and this newer candle.
An Uptrend is a ray connecting two Bearish candles, as long as the second candle has a Low higher than the Low of the Origin (first) candle. A Downtrend is a ray connecting two Bullish candles, as long as the second candle has a High lower than the High of the Origin (first) candle.
Upon drawing, the indicator then starts monitoring and adjusting this Trendline, by keeping the Origin always the same, but changing the second point. The goal is to keep reducing the slope of the Trendline till it is at 0 degrees (horizontal line). That then makes the Trendline "Final".
So, the algorithm has 3 States for the Trendlines:
Initial: not tested, meaning price hasn't yet broken through it and closed a candle beyond it, to cause a re-adjustment of this Trendline.
Broken: candle Hard Closed (its Open and Close) across it but still the direction of the Trend is maintained with a new Trendline from the same Origin – could be replaced (or kept on chart as "Backside", which is what we call a Broken Trendline to be tested from the opposite side) with a new Trendline from the same Origin, to the newest candle that caused the break to happen, as then it becomes the new second point of that trendline.
Final: candle Hard Closed across it and can't draw a new Trendline from the same Origin maintaining the direction of the Trend (so an uptrend becomes a downtrend or a downtrend becomes an uptrend at this point, which is not allowed). This marks the end of Trendline adjustment for that Origin.
To summarize the algorithm, imagine starting from a candle and drawing the trendline, then keep re-adjusting it to make its slope less and less, till it becomes a horizontal line. That's the final state.
Unlike traditional trendline tools, this indicator takes into account numerous rules for each candlestick to determine valid support and resistance levels, which act as Liquidity Zones.
What does it do differently?
Unlike conventional trendline tools, this indicator allows the user to pick the Pivot point as Origin, then automatically recognizes and extends lines from them as Liquidity Zones where a reaction is expected. Moreover, the indicator monitors those trendlines in real-time to switch them from Buying to Selling zones, and vice-versa, as price structure changes.
Features
Log vs. Linear scale switch to show different trendlines accordingly. When updating the Trendlines, or deciding whether Touches/Hard Closes are met, it makes a difference.
Ability to show all forms of Trendlines, Final Trendlines or just Backside Trendlines.
Why is it used?
For experienced traders, it offers the advantage of time-efficiency, while new traders can bypass the steep learning curve of drawing trendlines manually, which could practically be drawn between any two candlesticks on the chart (unlimited variations).
IMGPro - V1.0IMG PRO uses nine sequential stages to analyse price action and alert users to potential Trade Setups using various Price Action Concepts as detailed below:
1. Identify Higher Timeframe Market Structure and Points of Interest (HTF-POIs)
2. Calculate position size based on your risk appetite, fees and account leverage and customisable maximum trade risk
3. Verify price is in a premium or discount
4. Determine Lower Timeframe Market Structure Break Type
5. Apply Early Warning Systems if enabled
6. Alert you to risk managed trade setups at enabled HTF-POIs
7. Alert you to unentered trade invalidations
8. Alert you to trade exits based on your set criteria
9. Provide Additional Alerts such as Higher Timeframe SFPs and Market Structure Breaks that act as potential early warnings that a trade setup may be forming
1. HTF POIs Available with IMG PRO:
a. HTF Market Structure Range Highs and Lows
b. HTF Order Blocks
c. HTF Order Blocks & FVG Overlaps
d. HTF Breakers
e. HTF Breakers & FVG Overlaps
f. HTF FVGs
g. Internal Liquidity Levels
These levels are used for Trade Signals based on user settings applied. Details provided in the trade setup section below
a. Higher Timeframe Market Structure Range High and Low through Multiple Timeframe Analysis:
Market Structure can be defined using several techniques. The IMG indicators employ the Close through High/Low technique, which necessitates a candle to close through a structural level to validate a structural break and designate a new range.
Example: H12 Market Structure visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
By selecting a particular Market Structure timeframe in the settings, the indicator immediately illustrates both current and historical market structures for the chosen timeframe across all subordinate timeframes, subject to the limitations of your Tradingview subscription.
Example: H12 Market Structure visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
b. Higher Timeframe Order Blocks
An Order Block represents the last candle of the opposite direction preceding a Market Structure Break. For instance, a bullish Order Block is identified as the final bearish candle leading to a bullish market structure break, and vice versa for bearish Order Blocks.
Example: H12 OB visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
When activated, the indicator will highlight the Higher Timeframe Order Blocks responsible for a Market Structure Break on all subordinate timeframes relative to the chosen Market Structure Timeframe.
Note: if multiple OBs exist, the indicator will display the OB closest to the new range extreme
Example: H12 OB visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
c. HTF Order Blocks & HTF FVG Overlaps
When enabled, the IMG Pro will only display overlaps of Order Blocks and FVGs. These are strong points of interest to look for trade setups
Example of the indicator displaying a Higher Timeframe’s (HTF) OBs + FVGs on a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart:
The upper chart labelled H12/H12 is the indicator displaying H12 Structure and OB+FVGs on a H12 chart.
The lower chart labelled H12/H1 is the indicator displaying H12 OB+FVGs on a H1 chart:
d. Higher Timeframe Breakers
A Breaker Block is identified as the most recent Order Block that has been breached by price, leading to an opposite Market Structure Break. For example, a bullish Breaker Block is the last bearish Order Block that price has passed through, confirming a bullish structural break, and the inverse is true for bearish Breakers.
Example: H12 Breaker visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
Once enabled, the system will display Higher Timeframe Breaker Blocks after an opposite Market Structure Break is confirmed on all subordinate timeframes.
Example: H12 Breaker visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
e. HTF Breakers & HTF FVG Overlaps
When enabled, the IMG Pro will only display overlaps of Breakers and FVGs. These are strong points of interest to look for trade setups
Example:
The upper chart labelled H12/H12 is the indicator displaying H12 Structure and Breakers+FVGs on a H12 chart
The lower chart labelled H12/H1 is the indicator displaying H12 Breakers+FVGs on a H1 chart
f. Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A Fair Value Gap is a concept used by price action traders to identify market inefficiencies, where buying and selling are not balanced. It appears on a chart as a triple-candle pattern, with a large candle flanked by two others whose highs and lows do not overlap with the large candle, creating a gap. This gap often attracts the price towards it before the market resumes its previous direction.
Example of the indicator displaying a Higher Timeframe’s FVGs on a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart:
-The upper chart labelled H12/H12 is the indicator displaying H12 Structure and FVGs on a H12 chart.
-The lower chart labelled H12/H1 is the indicator displaying H12 FVGs on a H1 chart
g. HTF Internal Liquidity Levels (FVGs)
A HTF Liquidity Level is a Higher Timeframe three bar Pivot that forms inside an active range.
When enabled, the system will display all UNTESTED HTF pivots formed within an active range. Lines will stop extending once they are either tested or HTF Market Structure Breaks
Example: H12 Liquidity Levels on a H1 Chart:
2. Risk Management and Position Sizing:
a. Automated Position Sizing:
The System will automatically calculate position size based on the account size, max leverage and risk appetite (capital risk per trade) details input in settings. Calculated trade details are included in the Tradingview Alerts as well as interactive labels on the charts.
Details include but are not limited to:
Trade Timeframe
Side: Long/Short
Type: Limit/Market
Position Size in $ and Units
Lot sizes if applicable
Trade Risk %
Take Profit Level
Entry Price
Stoploss Price
b. Maximum Trade Risk:
IMG PRO has the ability to invalidate potential trade entries if it exceeds your maximum Trade Risk threshold. Trade Risk is the % price difference between entry and stoploss.
When an invalid signal is generated, the signal will not be shaded and the interactive label will display the reason for invalidation
In the example below, Max Trade Risk is set to 2% , but the trade signal had a trade risk of 5.11% invalidating the signal with a grey triangle
3. Verify Premium / Discount:
The system can be setup to only display signals that are in the top or bottom n% of the Market Structure Range
A value of 0 (default) will disable the premium/discount system and utilize the entire range for all signal types (bullish and bearish)
EXAMPLES:
A value of 50% will only display bullish signals that have, at minimum, tagged the bottom half of the range and vice versa for bearish signals.
A value of 25% will only display bullish signals that have tagged the bottom quarter of the range and vice versa.
A value of 38.2% will display signals that tag the top and bottom 38.2% of the range (equivalent of the 61.8% OTE. retracement) Etc.
4. Determine Lower Timeframe Market Structure Break Type
IMG Pro has two options for Lower Timeframe Structure Breaks:
Market Structure Breaks: When selected, the system will use the first opposite pivot (in the current chart timeframe) to the left of a confirmed SFP to calculate a break in market structure when price closes through it:
Market Structure Shifts: When selected, the system will use the first opposite pivot (in the current chart timeframe) to the left OR right of a confirmed SFP to calculate a break in market structure when price closes through it. MSS’ are more sensitive and may provide more false signals but are useful when there are big spike liquidity runs:
5. Apply Early Warning Systems if enabled:
The IMG Pro indicator has an early warning system that will generate a potential setup alert before a HTF SFP is confirmed
There are two types of early warnings:
LTF Structure Break Early Warning:
If enabled, the system will generate a potential setup alert if price cuts through a HTF level (Range Extreme / Internal Liquidity) and prints an opposite LTF MSB back through that level. This is a more aggressive approach where the system does not wait for the HTF SFP to be confirmed.
Example: In the screenshot below, the system did not wait for a H12 SFP to be confirmed, allowing it to signal an entry that would have otherwise been missed if the LTF Structure Break early warning system was not enabled
LTF FVG Early Warning:
If enabled, the system will generate a potential setup alert if price cuts through a HTF level (Range Extreme / Internal Liquidity) and prints an opposite LTF FVG back through that level. No LTF MSB is required and a limit order at the FVG is signalled. This is a more aggressive approach where the system does not wait for the HTF SFP to be confirmed.
Example: In the screenshot below, the system did not wait for a H12 SFP to be confirmed, signalling an entry as soon as an opposite LTF FVG is confirmed pushing price back through the HTF Liquidity Levels
6. Trade Setup Types Available with IMG PRO:
The system will alert you to potential trade setups at these HTF POIs: .
a. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at Range Extremes
b. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at enabled HTF POIs
c. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at All Internal Liquidity Levels (With Trend and Counter Trend)
d. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at All Internal Liquidity Levels (With Trend ONLY)
e. Lower Timeframe (LTF) Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at enabled HTF POIs
f. Multiple LTF Entry Options once a signal is confirmed
a. HTF Swing Failure followed by a LTF MSB at Range Extremes
A Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) is a technical analysis concept used in trading to identify potential reversals in price trends. It occurs when the price attempts to surpass a previous high or low but fails to sustain that level, indicating a possible change in market direction. There are multiple methods to define a SFP but this indicator uses the failure to close through a Key Level. When confirmed, HTF SFPs will be displayed on-screen and an alert will fire if enabled.
Example: EURUSD H12 Trade Setup Alerts at Range Extremes on a H1 Chart:
Alerts to Enter at Lower Timeframe MSBs
When enabled, a potential trade setup label and alert will generate when a HTF SFP is confirmed at a Range Extreme followed by a Chart Timeframe (Lower Timeframe) Market Structure Break (MSB). These signals are agnostic to current Market Structure bias and will generate at both extremes.
b. HTF Swing Failure followed by a LTF MSB at HTF POIs:
When enabled, a trade setup label and alert will generate when a HTF SFP is confirmed at an enabled Higher Timeframe POI (Order Blocks / Breakers / FVGs) followed by a Chart Timeframe (Lower Timeframe) Market Structure Break (MSB). These signals are always in line current Market Structure bias.
Example: H12 SFPs and Trade Setups at HTF POIs with Fluid Exits on a H1 Chart:
c. HTF Swing Failure followed by a LTF MSB at All Internal Liquidity Levels ( With Trend and Counter Trend ):
When enabled, a trade setup label and alert will generate when a HTF SFP is confirmed at an Internal Liquidity Level followed by a LTF Market Structure Break (MSB) or Market Structure Shift(MSS). These signals are agnostic to HTF Market Structure bias and will alert to setups with and counter trend.
Example:
d. HTF Swing Failure followed by a LTF MSB at All Internal Liquidity Levels ( With Trend ONLY )
Same as (c), but will only signal trades that are in line with higher timeframe structure. I.e If HTF Structure is bullish, then only bullish trades will be signalled.
e. LTF Swing Failure followed by a LTF MSB at enabled HTF POIs
The system will alert you to a lower timeframe setup if these conditions are met inside enabled HTF POIs (OBs / Breakers / FVGs):
- LTF SFP
- LTF MSB
Example:
f. LTF Entry Options:
IMG PRO provides the following options for LTF Entries:
i. Limit Entry at MSB Level
ii. Limit Entry at Breaker
iii. Limit Entry at Raid Candle
iv. Limit Entry at OTE 70.5% Retracement
v. Market Entries (where applicable)
Trade entry alerts will detail limit entry prices based on the option selected here.
7. Unentered Trade Invalidations:
IMG Pro can invalidate unentered signals based on these custom criteria:
a. Opposite HTF SFP Before Entry
b. TP Hit Before Entry
c. Confirmed Opposite Signal Before Entry
If enabled and criteria met, the system will alert you to cancel any limit orders for the trade that is being invalidated.
8. Trade Exit Types Available with IMG PRO:
The system provides the following options for trade exit alerts:
a. Exit at Fixed R:R
b. Exit at a confirmed Opposite Signal (Fluid Exits)
c. Exit at enabled and untested HTF POIs
d. Exit on an opposite HTF SFP at a liquidity level
Example: H12 SFPs and Potential Trade Setups at Internal Liquidity Levels with Exit at closest untested HTF POI on a H1 Chart:
9. IMG PRO Alerts Overview
The system provides notifications of:
a. Confirmed HTF Market Structure Breaks
b. Confirmed HTF SFPs at Range Extremes
c. Confirmed HTF SFPs at HTF POIs
d. Confirmed HTF SFPs at Liquidity Levels
e. Potential Trade Setups at Range Extremes
f. Potential Trade Setups at HTF Points of Interest

A Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) is a technical analysis concept used in trading to identify potential reversals in price trends. It occurs when the price attempts to surpass a previous high or low but fails to sustain that level, indicating a possible change in market direction. There are multiple methods to define a SFP but this indicator uses the failure to close through a Key Level. When confirmed, HTF SFPs will be displayed on-screen and an alert will fire if enabled.
Example: H12 SFPs at Range Extremes on a H1 Chart:
Alerts to Enter at Lower Timeframe MSBs
When enabled, a potential trade setup label and alert will generate when a HTF SFP is confirmed at a Range Extreme followed by a Chart Timeframe (Lower Timeframe) Market Structure Break (MSB). These signals are agnostic to current Market Structure bias and will generate at both extremes.
Signals will alert you to enter a Limit Entry at the Lower Timeframe MSB Level
2. LTF Swing Failure followed by a LTF MSB at Range Extremes at enabled HTF POIs
The system will alert you to a lower timeframe setup if these conditions are met inside enabled HTF POIs (OBs / Breakers / FVGs):
- LTF SFP
- LTF MSB
Signals will alert you to enter a Limit Entry at the Lower Timeframe MSB Level
Example:
d. Trade Exit Types Available with IMG Lite:
Exit alerts will trigger at user defined R:R
Example: H12 SFPs and Potential Trade Setups with Exits at fixed 2R on a H1 Chart:
e. IMG LITE Alerts Overview
Higher Timeframe Market Structure Breaks (HTF MSBs)
The system provides notifications of confirmed Market Structure Breaks based on the selected Higher Timeframe Market Structure Timeframe. For instance, selecting a weekly structure will trigger an alert when weekly price closes through a weekly structural level, and the same logic applies to other timeframes like D, H12, H4, H1 etc.
The system provides notifications of:
1. Confirmed HTF Market Structure Breaks
2. Confirmed HTF SFPs at Range Extremes
3. Potential Trade Setups (defined above)
4. Fixed R Trade Exits
To enable alerts, right-click on the indicator and select “Add Alert on IMG ...”. You may customise the alert name as desired and then click 'Create' to finalise the alert setup.
General Note:
There is no system, indicator, algorithm, or strategy that can provide absolute certainty in predicting market movements. Use trading indicators as a tool to assist with trading decisions; manage your risk wisely.
Stay safe and Happy Trading!

💎 Employing a Top-Down Approach and Multiple Time Frame Analysis: 💎
Let's delve into the concept of adopting a top-down approach combined with multiple time frame analysis in trading scenarios. It is consistently recommended to trade with the trend because, as the saying goes, "the trend is your friend." If you identify a demand zone on the chart but the overall trend is downward, it's crucial to confirm the stock's trend in higher timeframes. Avoid purchasing from the demand zone in such a scenario as you would be going against the trend. To consider buying from the demand zone, ensure that the overall trend is upward by checking the higher timeframe.
Similarly, if the higher timeframe trend is upward but the price is approaching a higher timeframe supply zone, refrain from buying in the lower timeframe. If the price reaches a higher timeframe supply zone, there is a likelihood that the price will face rejection from this zone.
If the price is significantly extended from the EMA 20 on a higher timeframe, for instance, if you plan to trade on a 30-minute timeframe and the price is considerably extended from the daily EMA 20, consider trading from zones that are closer to the daily EMA 20. When the price is extended from the higher timeframe EMA 20, it implies that the price is expensive, and there may be a tendency for it to return to the EMA 20. Therefore, it is advisable to trade from zones that are closer to the higher timeframe EMA 20 and avoid zones that are extended from the higher timeframe EMA 20.
For instance, imagine you're considering purchasing a stock that has reached a demand zone known as Rally Base Rally (RBR). If you identify a corresponding demand zone in a higher time frame located at the same position, and concurrently observe that the intermediate time frame indicates an upward trend, your potential for a successful trade is enhanced.
Conversely, if you spot a buying zone in a lower time frame, but notice a supply zone in the higher time frame at that exact position, the likelihood of a profitable trade decreases significantly. In such cases, it's prudent to steer clear of the lower time frame zone. This emphasizes the critical significance of employing a top-down approach or conducting a multiple time frame analysis.
Note: By Doing top down approach you can easily follow the footprints of smart money in the stock market or any other market by using this indicator and make well-informed trading decisions.
Remember, don't make decisions based only on one time frame. Check the overall trend of the stock and look at buying and selling points on bigger time scales. If you only use one time scale, your chances of making successful trades will be lower.
💎 To execute these comprehensive analyses and optimize your trading outcomes, you can make use of my indicator called "Demand & Supply Zone Scoring: Rally Base & Drop Concept."💎
This indicator is thoughtfully crafted to assess the strength of trade setups based on demand and supply zones through a scoring mechanism. It serves as your guide for correct top-down and multiple time frame analysis, eliminating the possibility of overlooking any strategic parameters.

Advanced VSA: Trend and Range LevelsThe indicator is designed for traders who are more interested in market structures and price action using volumes. Analyzing volumes, key market levels, market phases (trend or range/sideways), and multiple timeframes can help the trader build a clearer and more comprehensive view of the market. The data analysis algorithm is developed based on VSA methods, elements of the ICT concept, and the results of my research to assist trader in gaining a better understanding of the market and uncovering information that might go unnoticed.
The key idea is to consider multiple timeframes in trading. Understanding larger market movements from higher timeframes can provide a deeper context when making trading decisions, aiming to assist in more effective entries and exits. This is achieved by identifying the trend and its support levels on multiple timeframes, identifying ranges and their current boundaries, as well as buyer and seller interest zones.
Key Features
Trend Identification: The indicator determines the trend and its current support level. All significant price &movements occur in the form of impulses (either by sellers or buyers). An impulse consists of one or several consecutive candlesticks, at least one of which has a closing price beyond the boundaries of the previous impulse. The indicator displays the base of the impulse and/or the entire impulse. The base of the impulse represents the trend's support level.
Range Identification: The indicator can identify ranges and their current boundaries. Institutional traders take positions within price ranges, and many market reversals occur after flats. A range is a sequential price movement up and down within a specific price range. A range is formed by a minimum of 4 points, 2 above and 2 below, and is defined by its boundaries. The indicator detects ranges based on two (two consecutive impulses in one direction) or three impulses (the first and third in one direction, and the second in the opposite direction). The indicator displays the current boundary points of the range and the level of protection after exiting the range and initiating a trend.
Buyer and seller zones within impulses: After the impulse ends, a correction occurs. It is advisable to look for entry points during this correction in the direction of the impulse from the zone of interest of the owner of the impulse: the buyer's zone for a long impulse and the seller's zone for a short impulse. A zone consists of a series of consecutive candlesticks grouped on the chart in a specific manner.
Multi-Timeframe Trend Identification: The indicator also identifies the trend on two higher timeframes and displays the two latest bases of impulses from those higher timeframes on the chart.
Additional Features
Identification of Test Levels and Effort. A test is the price's return to a zone or to a candle of effort, followed by a continuation in the direction of the initial price movement. It is characterized by the test level. An effort or effort candle is a single candle that is individually larger in volume than the previous 2.
Example Use Cases
You can display the base levels of impulses from a 4-hour time frame and a daily time frame on a 15-minute chart to keep track of important levels from higher timeframes.
By exploring different timeframes, you can identify consolidations (range/sideways movements) and trade within them in the direction of the trend from higher timeframes.
If the market is in a trending phase (the presence of a trend is determined by two consecutive impulses in the same direction), look for trades in the direction of the impulse, following these priorities:
When the impulse base level is protected by the host of the impulse.
During corrections, look for buy trades in the buyer's zone for an uptrend and sell trades in the seller's zone for a downtrend.
During corrections, look for buy trades from a buyer's effort candle for an uptrend and sell trades from a seller's effort candle for a downtrend.
If the market is in a consolidation phase (range), look for trades:
When the current or maximum/minimum historical boundaries of the consolidation (range) are protected, look for trades towards the opposite current boundary.
If the price exits the consolidation/range (closes outside all consolidation boundaries, including both current and historical boundaries), then during corrections, look for trades in the direction of the exit.
Settings
Trend: Display base levels of impulses and/or the entire impulse. Sideways Ranges (Sideways Markets): Display the required number of sideways ranges on the chart, along with protection levels for exiting the sideways range. There are two modes for finding sideways ranges. The first mode requires touching points. The second mode (advanced) does not require precise touching of points if there are increased volumes at the extreme points of the sideways range. Touching these volumes is sufficient for the price.
Zones: Display zones on the chart. Choose the types of displayed zones and their colors. They are divided into three types. The first type is the most promising for finding trades. Type 3 represents more aggressive trades.
Test Levels: Display test levels for zones and efforts on the chart. There are three types of test levels. The first type is the most promising for finding trades. Type 3 is not recommended for finding trades as it represents the most aggressive trades.
Higher Time Frames: Choose 2 timeframes and the types of displayed impulse base lines.
Delta Zones Buy/Sell PressureScript Description:
Delta Zones Buy/Sell Pressure Indicator
Description:
The "Delta Zones Buy/Sell Pressure" indicator, created by the original author "scarf", is a technical tool that unveils key areas of buying and selling pressure in the market. This indicator utilizes the concept of Delta, calculating differences between open, close, high, and low prices. When these differences exceed a threshold determined by the user-defined standard deviation, areas of intense buying (indicated by green boxes) and selling pressure (indicated by red boxes) on the chart are identified.
How It Works:
The indicator calculates Delta using various combinations of candle prices to determine buying and selling pressure. When Delta surpasses a certain level, indicated by the user-defined standard deviation, visual signals in the form of boxes on the chart are generated. These boxes highlight specific areas where buying or selling pressure is particularly strong, aiding traders in identifying potential entry and exit points in the market.
How to Use:
* When a green box is drawn, it indicates strong buying pressure in the market. This can be interpreted as a signal to consider long positions.
* When a red box is drawn, it indicates strong selling pressure in the market. This can be interpreted as a signal to consider short positions.
* Use these signals in combination with your own analysis and risk management strategies to make informed trading decisions.
Originality:
What makes this indicator original is its unique approach to identifying specific areas of buying and selling pressure. By calculating Delta in multiple ways and utilizing standard deviation as a filter, this indicator provides clear and concise visual signals about market activity. The combination of these features distinguishes it as a valuable tool for traders seeking a better understanding of market behavior. This modification differs from the original by displaying the information on the price chart with horizontal bars, below each delta, instead of an oscillator at the bottom similar to the volume indicator.
Final Recommendations:
Consider Market Trends:
Before making any trading decisions using the Delta Zones Buy/Sell Pressure Indicator, it is crucial to analyze the prevailing market trends. Assess the overall direction of the market, whether it's trending upward, downward, or moving sideways. Align your trades with the dominant trend to increase the probability of successful outcomes. The indicator's signals can be more reliable when they align with the broader market trend.
Evaluate Macro-Economic Factors:
Additionally, take into account macro-economic factors that could influence price movements. Factors such as economic indicators, geopolitical events, interest rate decisions, and global market sentiments can significantly impact the financial markets. Stay updated with relevant news and economic reports to anticipate potential market shifts. Understanding the broader economic context can help you interpret the indicator's signals within a more informed framework.
Practice Risk Management:
Regardless of the signals provided by the Delta Zones Buy/Sell Pressure Indicator, always implement effective risk management strategies. This includes setting stop-loss orders, diversifying your portfolio, and only risking a small percentage of your trading capital on each trade. By managing your risk, you can protect your investments and ensure longevity in the market, even during volatile periods.
Continuous Learning and Adaptation:
Financial markets are dynamic and constantly evolving. Continuously educate yourself about new trading strategies, technical analysis tools, and economic developments. Stay open to adapting your trading approach based on changing market conditions. Regularly reviewing your trading strategy and adjusting it according to your experiences and market feedback can significantly enhance your trading performance over the long term.
Seek Professional Advice if Necessary:
If you are uncertain about specific market trends, indicators, or economic factors, don't hesitate to seek guidance from financial advisors or professionals. Their expertise can provide valuable insights and help you make well-informed decisions, especially in complex or uncertain market environments.
By incorporating these recommendations into your trading approach, you can enhance your decision-making process, mitigate risks, and increase your overall chances of successful trading outcomes. Remember, the key to successful trading lies not only in the tools you use but also in your ability to interpret them within the broader market context.
