Support and Resistance

coates moving averages (cma)This indicator uses three moving averages: 2 period low simple ma 2 period high simple ma 9 period least squares ma The trend is determined by the angle of the moving averages, current close relative the the 9 least squares ma (lsm) and the current close relative to the prior two periods high and low. When there are consecutive closes inside the prior two candles high and low then a range is signaled: In ranges the buy zone is between the lowest low and the lowest close of the current range. The sell zone is between the highest high and the highest close. The zones are adjusted as long as the new close is within the prior two candles range: When price closes above the 2 high ma and the 9 lsm then a bull trend is signaled if all moving averages are angled upward (as seen at #4 in the chart above and #1 the chart below ). If the 9 lsm and / or the 2 low ma continue to angle downward, following a close above the 2 high ma and 9 lsm, then a prolonged range or reversal is expected (#2 in the chart below): During a bull trend the buy zone is between the 2 low ma and the 9 lsm. The profit target is the 2 high ma: During dip buying opportunities price should resist closing below the 9 lsm. If there is one close below the 9 lsm then it is a canary in the coalmine that tells us to proceed with caution. This will often signal a range, based on the conditions outlined above. To avoid a prolonged range, or reversal, price needs to immediately react in the direction of the prevailing trend: If the moving averages are angled down and the most recent close is below the 2 low ma and 9 lsm then trend is fully bearish: During a bear trend the short zone is between the 2 high ma and 9 lsm. The profit target is the 2 low ma: When the 2 high ma angles down and the 2 low ma angles up while price closes inside both mas then it indicates a cma squeeze: Volatility is expected in the direction of the breakout following the squeeze. In this situation traps / shakeouts are common. If there is a wick outside the cma, with a close inside, then it indicates a trap / shakeout. If there is a close outside the 2 high / low ma then it signals a breakout. A trend is considered balanced when the 9 lsm is roughly equidistant from the 2 low and 2 high mas. If the 9 lsm crosses the 2 high or 2 low ma then it signals exhaustion / imbalance. For a stop loss I use the prior three periods low, for bull trends, and the prior three periods high for bear trends. I would expect other reliable stops, such as the parabolic sar or bill williams fractal, to be effective as well. The default moving averages should be very effective on all timeframes and assets classes, however this indicator was developed for bitcoin with a focus on higher timeframes such as the 4h, daily and weekly. As with any other technical indicator there will be bad signals. Proceed with caution and never risk more than you are willing to lose.

pivot semaphore support&resistance levels [LM]Hello Traders, I would like to introduce you pivot semaphore support&resistance levels. The idea is the same as the zigzag script of mine to spot the importance of support&resistence The Semafor is used to spot future multi-level Supports and Resistance zones. It is also useful to spot HL or LL or HH or LH zones at different Depth settings. The red zones are the extreme places where the market has a higher chance of reversing while the green zones have the lowest setting with lower chances of the market reversal The lines can be extended like so The lines also can just stop extending when price will reach it Enjoy!

ACD - Layers 1 & 2An implementation of layers 1 & 2 of ACD strategy of Mark Fisher, based on the book "The Logical Trader". This implementation contains: - OR lines - A lines - C lines - Daily pivot range - N days pivot range - Customizable trading session Strategy summary (This implementation): There is 3 main concepts, each of which represented as two price levels. 1) OR (Opening Range) is the range of the first bar of the day. In other words, it's just "high - low" of the first resolution (usually 15min.) bar of the day. So, OR lines (Aqua color) visualize this range for each trading session. As stated by Mark Fisher in his book, this range is meant to be a statistically significant range such that when price breaks the range in one direction, This is UNUSUAL to infiltrate it again AND break through the other side. So we can consider it as a potential enter signal (long or short). 2) A lines (Blue color) are drawn above and below OR lines with difference of 10% 0f 10 days ATR. The ATR period and the A multiplier (usually 10%) is customizable. 3) C lines (Gray color) are drawn above and below OR lines at 15% of 10 Days ATR difference. These lines help detecting AND confirming that UNUSUAL situation. These concepts form the layer 1, which you can spot potential opportunities with it. There is also two ranges to show support and resistance levels based on price action of previous days. Pivot ranges are rolling ranges that calculated and last for each day separately. They only differ in calculation period - the first one is daily (yellow color area) and the other one (red color area) is customizable, but is usually 3 or 5 days. Each range consists of two price levels, valid for the current trading session. One of theme is HL2 , and the other one is "HLC3 + abs(HLC3 - HL2 )". These two ranges, "Daily pivot range" and "N days pivot range", form the layer 2, which you can see them as two dynamic support/resistance ranges - one for daily, and the other for N days. They help filtering opportunities spotted from layer 1. There is 2 more layers in the ACD strategy, which is omitted in this free implementation.

Multi Time Frame Candles with Volume Info / 3DHello Traders, This is my second Multi Time Frame Candles script but with this new one, you will have some new features such volume info, remaining time to close of higher time frame candle and also developed using new features of Pine such array of lines. also I tried to make it 3D for better visualization ;) also it shows new highs/lows / breakouts. I tried to make many things optional, so you can change almost everything using options. What you can change using options: - Higher time frame - Number of Candles - Candle Colors Up/Down - Wick Color - Volume colors Up/Down - Text color of Remaining Time - Shadow Color - Background color - Start bar of the candles (so you can see many higher times frame candles in same window) - 3D effect, by default it's enables but you can disable 3D view Lets see some examples: Remaining time: Breakouts: You can combine different higher time frames: if you don't want 3D view then combining different higher time frames: You can change background color: Enjoy!

Previous Period Levels - X Alerts====== ABOUT THIS INDICATOR - A simple but highly customisable display of previous higher time-frame OHLC values, drawn using line.new and label.new. Nothing fancy but... - Customised resolution input which excludes time frames lower than 1 hour while extending the common higher reference inputs to include: • 6, and 12 Hour • 5 Day • 3, and 6 Month • 1 Year - Alert conditions using an adjustable SMA to help reduce false positive spam. - Full visual customisation options for (almost) every aspect, so it can be tuned to suit most individual preferences. - In line with the miriad visual customisation options is the ability to change the display format of the Labels, to show more or less information, or disable them altogether. ====== REASON FOR STUDY - To practice advanced user input option handling to allow for a full visual customisation experience without stepping outside of, or interfering with, the intended function of the indicator. - Provide reasonably clear code commenting and structure in order to be useful as a potential learning aid for others, and future reference for myself. ====== DISCLAIMER Any trade decisions you make are entirely your own responsibility. I've made an effort to squash all the bugs, but you never know!

Grid Bot SimulatorThis script is a grid bot simulator for ranging/choppy markets. Prices are divided into grids, or trade zones, that will trigger signals each time a new zone is entered. During ranging markets, each transaction is followed by a “take profit.” As the market starts to trend, transactions are stacked (compare to DCA), until the market consolidates. No signals are triggered above the Upper Limit or Below the Lower Limit. Settings overview: Upper Limit/Lower Limit : Highest and Lowest values for entire grid. Number of Grids : Number of trade zones. Show Grids : Show or hide all gridlines. Show Only Current Grids : Only display the grids just above and just below the current trade zone. High/Low for signals : If enabled, signals are triggered as soon as the price touches the next zone. If disabled, signals are triggered after bar closes. Enable this for “Once Per Bar alerts. Disable for “Once Per Bar Close” alerts. Highlight Trade Zones The grid bot should work well during ranging/choppy markets. Each zone will have only one trade, and then will immediately take profit in the next zone. Ranging/Choppy Market However, trending markets can produce multiple signals in rapid succession: Trending Market If the gridlines are compressing the chart space, enable the “Show Only Current Grids” in settings. Show Only Current Grids disabled Show Only Current Grids enabled When changing symbols, adjust the Upper and Lower Limits to accommodate the new symbol. Otherwise, the chart will look compressed. XBTUSD chart with ETHUSDT settings The bot is a proof-of-concept and is considered experimental . Possible future updates will include Fibonacci grids and “smart entry/exits,” depending on the current trend. Comments and suggestions are encouraged.

Local LimitsDisplays recent higher highs, lower highs, lower lows, and higher lows as a collection of local limit indicators. In its simplicity is a lot more powerful than might appear at first glance. Does not rely on volatility calculation. Can be linked together to create an objective view of recent support and resistance levels. Makes current trends more visible. Excellent for use as a trailing stop algorithm. Parameters Single Bar Sensitivity: True (default) reacts to individual bars. False only responds to the alignment of 2 bars. Margin (1-5): Adds extra distance from higher lows and lower highs to reduce the sensitivity of broken trends. Single indicators with configurable sources: Local Limit Higher Local Limit Lower

Realtime All-Time High and All-Time Low Tracker [WIP]This is a study intended to port the work of /u/QuantNomad's "Kozlod - All-time high/low alerts" to pine version 4 without giving any alerts. It is intended to capture the most extreme points on any given price chart in real time, the absolute high and absolute low points. Ideally, the plotted lines would strictly diverge from one another in opposite directions and widen with new highs or lows on a hypothetical "all-time" resolution. Most of the original code was replaced and I'm trying to resolve a bug where the script fails to register new highs or lows while at the same time making sure that earlier data is plotted correctly. If applied to an asset that has not yet recovered , is just too new, or has not achieved a lower low than its opening price, this indicator ceases to function correctly. This would not be an issue if pine script was more general purpose and had something similar to Python's max(list) function. Any and all suggestions are welcome. This is simply to serve as a springboard for any programmers trying to design algorithms or strategies that use these variables on any price chart. Happy Hunting! - Patch Hemlock

Bridge Bands [joecat808]Bridge Bands are an implementation of the work done by Joe Catanzaro (joecat808) to produce a risk range for a security. The basic idea is to calculate Mandelbrot's "Bridge Range". (Pg. 179 of Misbehavior of Markets) It then calculates Bollinger Bands. Then next step is to calculate the Hurst Exponent. The last step is to merge the Bridge Range and the Bollinger Bands. The basic concept is if H = .5 we use the Bollinger Bands and the farther away we move from .5 in either direction the Bridge Range takes more precedent. There is a Trend value that is the mid-point of a 3 month Donchian Channel. If price is above we're bullish, if price is below we're bearish. Lastly, there is also an option info box with data regarding the underlying's position within the range, as well as an experimental position size calculation.
