Previous Highs & Lows [LuxAlgo]The Previous Highs & Lows indicator highlights a user-set amount of previous maximum/minimum prices made within specific intervals, these are displayed as levels customizable levels.
Additionally, one upper and lower zone constructed from the previously displayed highs/lows is included, providing support/resistance areas.
🔶 USAGE
Previous highs/lows are often perceived as key trading levels with the potential of generating multiple reactions upon being reached.
While the daily interval is more commonly used, users can use different intervals, with the indicator supporting hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly intervals. Using higher intervals on low timeframes can return more distant levels relative to the most recent price, which might not be relevant.
Each level is numbered, with more recent previous highs/lows having a lower number associated with them, users can also highlight more recent levels through a transparency gradient.
Users can control the amount of previous highs/lows displayed using the "Show Last" settings, with a higher value providing more potential support/resistance. Returned previous highs/lows can eventually be filtered out based on their position by enabling the "Filter Based On Position" setting, only keeping previous highs above the current closing price and previous lows below the current closing price, giving more relevant levels as a result.
🔹 Previous High/Low Areas
The indicator includes two areas constructed from the respective percentiles of the returned previous highs/lows. These can be useful as more general support/resistance areas.
Wider areas are often indicative of a group of previous highs or lows being more dispersed, resulting in areas that are easier to reach. Wider areas can also be obtained by increasing the "Areas Width" setting.
Note: Areas will only be displayed if "Show Last" is greater than 1
🔶 SETTINGS
Show Last: Determines the amount of more recent previous highs and previous low levels displayed by the indicator.
Interval: Interval used to capture maximum/minimum price values,
Areas Width: Width of the displayed top/bottom areas, with higher values returning wider areas.
Filter Based On Position: When enabled only display previous highs above the current closing price and previous lows below the current closing price.
🔹 Style
Minimum Gradient Transparency: Minimum transparency value applied to the colors of the oldest displayed previous highs/lows levels.

Pivot Point Profile [LuxAlgo]The Pivot Point Profile indicator groups and displays data accumulated from previous pivot points, providing a comprehensive method for prioritizing and displaying areas of interest directly given by swing highs and lows.
Users have access to common settings present in other profile-type indicators.
🔶 USAGE
The Pivot Point Profile is particularly helpful in identifying highly active reversal zones that have been visited multiple times by price. Because of this, we could generally expect these areas to serve as future points of interest, often acting as support or resistance when re-visited.
The profile displays data associated with both Pivot Highs and Pivot Lows. Each row consists of pivot high and pivot low counts side-by-side, forming the total width of the row.
By analyzing the row as a whole, we can gain a better understanding of WHERE to look for interactions.
By analyzing the pivot counts independently, we can gain a better understanding of WHAT to expect when returning to these areas.
For example:
If a row in the profile contains entirely Pivot Lows, this could be seen as an indication to look for buyers to hold that level for a continuation upwards. A break of this level could be interpreted as a lack of interest from previous buyers at this level, indicating a further move down.
🔹 Concentrated Areas
Each row in the profile displays the current count of high pivots and low pivots within the selected lookback. The largest count for each pivot direction is identified as a "Concentrated Area (CA)", these CAs are highlighted over the chart with a line displaying the average of all pivots within that CA. The CA Average is the average of all pivot points (in the majority direction) within the given row.
These can hold more importance as potential support/resistance areas.
Note: The CA Threshold can be manually adjusted to highlight all rows based on a user-selected value.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Calculation
The idea behind the Pivot Point Profile is a new analysis method for pivot points, taking the idea of a volume profile and adapting it to display pivot points instead of volume. By using this data, in theory, we should be able to better prioritize zones to anticipate reversals, as well as identify key levels to watch for buyer & seller interactions to use as confirmations in direction.
The (vertical) width of each row is the product of the script's "Row Size", this is the number of rows that the profile will consist of. With a max of 250, the profile can be decently granular. That being said, A more granular profile will have fewer overlapping pivot points. By decreasing the row size (Using fewer rows in the profile) you will increase the tolerance for grouping pivot points. Potentially leading to a more comprehensive Profile. Inversely, By reducing the tolerance for grouping, you will better visualize only similar highs and lows but may have noisier data to sift through.
The Profile is calculated based on a "Lookback" parameter, using only the lookback amount of previous high and low pivots to calculate the profile. Configuring this parameter alongside "Pivot Length", will allow for great control over the frame of reference of the profile.
Note: This indicator is capable of utilizing the full chart history of pivot points, this can be done by enabling the "Use Full Chart History" setting, this will cause the script will calculate from everything it has access to on your current chart.
🔹 Display
The Pivot Point Profile display can be customized to fit a various range of chart styles and visual needs. The specific settings to adjust these can be located in the "Profile Display" Section of the User Inputs.
Profile Width: Sets the Left to Right Width of the Profile. This is the maximum width that the profile will occupy and will scale to fit within this width.
Profile Offset: Sets the distance of the Profile's Axis from the current chart candle. This moves the entire profile left and right to enable to user to set the distance between the profile and the current candle.

Note: CA Averages can be displayed independently without CA Highlights being displayed, and vice versa.
VWAP Bands [UAlgo]The "VWAP Bands " indicator is designed to provide traders with valuable insights into market trends and potential support/resistance levels using Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) bands. This indicator integrates the core concepts of VWAP with additional trend analysis features, making it a versatile tool for both range trading and trend-following strategies.
The VWAP bands are plotted based on the standard deviation multipliers, creating upper and lower bands around the VWAP. These bands serve as dynamic support and resistance levels. When the price approaches these bands, traders can anticipate potential reversals or continuations of the current trend. Additionally, the indicator provides visual cues for trend strength and potential trend changes, helping traders make informed decisions in various market conditions.
🔶 Settings
Source (Data Source): The data source for VWAP calculations. The default setting is the typical price (HLC3), which is the average of the high, low, and close prices.
Length: The number of bars used in the VWAP calculation. This determines the lookback period for the indicator.
Standard Deviation Multiplier: The multiplier applied to the standard deviation to create the primary upper and lower VWAP bands. This setting controls the distance of the bands from the VWAP.
Secondary Standard Deviation Multiplier: The multiplier applied to the standard deviation to create the secondary upper and lower VWAP bands, providing additional levels of support and resistance.
Display Trend: A toggle to enable or disable the display of the trend analysis feature. When enabled, the indicator highlights trend strength and potential trend changes.
Display Trend Crossovers: A toggle to enable or disable the display of trend crossover signals. When enabled, the indicator plots shapes to indicate where trend switches are likely occurring.
🔶 Calculations
The calculations behind the "VWAP Bands " indicator begin with determining the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), which provides a comprehensive view of the average price of an asset, weighted by trading volume. This gives a more accurate representation of the asset's true average price over a specified period.
The first step in this process involves summing the trading volume over a chosen period, typically represented by the length parameter. Simultaneously, the product of the price (usually an average of the high, low, and close prices) and the trading volume is calculated and summed. By dividing this cumulative price-volume product by the total volume, we obtain the VWAP value. This VWAP serves as the central anchor around which the price action oscillates.
To enhance the utility of VWAP, we introduce standard deviation calculations. Standard deviation measures the extent of price dispersion from the VWAP, providing insight into price volatility. By calculating the variance (which involves the squared deviations of price) and then taking its square root, we derive the standard deviation. This helps in understanding how far prices typically stray from the VWAP.
With the VWAP and standard deviation in hand, we then establish upper and lower bands by adding and subtracting multiples of the standard deviation from the VWAP. These bands act as dynamic support and resistance levels, adapting to changes in market volatility. The primary bands, set by the first standard deviation multiplier, are augmented by secondary bands defined by a larger multiplier, offering additional layers of potential support and resistance.
It also integrates trend analysis, highlighting areas where the price action suggests a strong or weak trend. This is achieved by overlaying colored zones above and below the bands, indicating the strength and direction of the trend. When the price crosses these bands, it signals potential trend changes, aiding traders in making timely decisions.
🔶 Disclaimer
The "VWAP Bands " indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is not intended as financial advice and should not be construed as such.
Trading involves significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Before using this indicator or making any investment decisions, it is important to conduct thorough research and consider your financial situation.
Supports & Resistances [UAlgo]The "Supports & Resistances " indicator is designed to identify and visualize key support and resistance levels on the price chart. It utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) and Pivot Points to define the boundaries of S & R zones and considers historical price action to assess the strength of these zones.
🔶 How to Obtain Zones
The script continuously analyzes the price action and identifies potential support and resistance zones based on the following criteria:
Zone Creation: For swing highs, a zone is created with the high price at the zone length as the top and the top minus the Average True Range (ATR) as the bottom. Conversely, for swing lows, the zone is created with the low price at the zone length as the bottom and the low plus the ATR as the top.
Zone Strength Calculation: The script iterates through historical bars within the zone and counts how many times the price (low for support, high for resistance) touched but failed to break entirely through the zone. This count is assigned as the zone's "strength".
Zone Display and Removal: It identifying zones by assigning a "strength" value based on how many times the price has approached but failed to break the zone. This helps prioritize stronger potential support/resistance levels. Only zones exceeding the defined "strength threshold" are visually displayed on the chart. Weaker zones or those broken by price are automatically removed.
🔶 Parameters
Zone Length: Traders can adjust S & R detection sensitivity, length to be used to find pivot points.
Strength Threshold: Set the minimum number of times the price needs to touch but fail to break a zone for it to be considered "strong" and displayed.
Visual Settings: Tailor the appearance of the support/resistance zones by defining separate colors and text size for borders, backgrounds, and zone text.
🔶 Disclaimer
The "Supports & Resistances " indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only.
It should not be considered as financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument.
The use of this indicator involves inherent risks, and users should employ their own judgment and conduct their own research before making any trading decisions. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

ICT Propulsion Block [LuxAlgo]The ICT Propulsion Block indicator is meant to detect and highlight propulsion blocks, which are specific price structures introduced by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT).
Propulsion Blocks are essentially blocks located where prices interact with preceding order blocks. Traders often utilize them when analyzing price movements to identify potential turning points and market behavior or areas of interest in the market.
🔶 USAGE
An order block is a significant area on a price chart where there was a notable accumulation or distribution of orders, often identified by a strong move in price followed by a consolidation or sideways movement. Traders use order blocks to identify potential support or resistance levels.
A Propulsion Block, on the other hand, is a concept taught by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) and refers to a specific type of order block that interacts with the preceding order block. Traders often analyze propulsion blocks to identify potential turning points and areas of interest in the market.
A mitigated order block refers to an order block that has been invalidated or nullified due to subsequent market movements or developments. It no longer holds the same significance or relevance in the current market context.
Let's explore a bearish order block and propulsion block scenario commonly utilized by ICT traders in their trading strategies.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Order & Propulsion Blocks
Swing Detection Length: Lookback period used to detect swing points for creating order blocks and/or propulsion blocks.
Mitigation Price: Allows users to choose between the closing price or the candle's wick for mitigation.

Wave Consolidation [LuxAlgo]The Wave Consolidation indicator uses market profiles to highlight consolidation zones based on upward and downward moves determined when a Higher-High or Lower-Low is created.
Users can control the amount of consolidation zones to display and the sensitivity of the swing point detection used to return those zones.
🔶 USAGE
These zones are intended as areas of interest to traders where price has seen historical interactions, which can be interpreted as support and resistance. By identifying these areas of interest before the price returns to them, traders are able to anticipate and prepare for various scenarios and respond dynamically to the behavior of the market, as seen below.
Rejection: A quick move away from the zone may indicate that the area is either overvalued or undervalued, leading to a fast movement in the opposite direction.
Breakthrough: Moving beyond a zone could indicate acceptance at that specific price, potentially signaling a shift in momentum or the start of a new trend. In a strong major trend, zones created from smaller trends could be used as price targets for taking profit and managing risk.
Consolidation: Holding these zones might suggest a market in balance at these levels, this could lead to opportunities for range-bound trading.
Below is an example of the Rejection and Consolidation scenarios described above.
Note: By analyzing the tests and retests of these zones, traders can also gain further insight into where participants are interacting in the market.
🔶 DETAILS
The full process for acquiring and managing these zones is described in the sub-sections below.
🔹 Creation
By only considering market movements creating a higher-high or lower-low, we can identify meaningful, directional, moves which can then be used to calculate zones.
Once a move is identified, the script calculates a volume profile spanning the length of the given move.
The width of the zones is determined starting from the POC of the profile and expanding outwards until the value of the profile's row falls below the profile's average.
Note: By increasing the "Multiplier" Input, Users can increase the threshold the script uses to determine zone width in multiples of Standard Deviations above the Average.
While this area is similar to a VP Value Area, it is not intended to replicate a value zone. The calculation is not concerned with capturing any % of the total profile's volume within the zone and only analyzes based on a fixed inclusion threshold.
🔹 Management
To keep clutter to a minimum, If a new zone overlaps a recently created zone, the zones are grouped as one. This is especially helpful in areas where prices are ranging, creating multiple zones in a very similar area.
Zones before management:
Zones after management:
🔹 Deletion
Just because a zone is crossed, does not make it immediately unimportant!
Once a Zone is mitigated (crossed in the opposite direction of its bias) it is reduced to a single dotted line representing the outer threshold for the zone. These lines are important to watch, as the price will often retest a break. For this reason, they will stay on the chart until the next swing point is detected when they will finally be deleted for good.
Below is an example of activity around a broken zone before it is deleted.
Below is the same example 2bBars later , once the new swing is confirmed, the dotted lines are deleted and new zones are created.
Notice how the newly formed resistance zone is in the same area where we noticed sellers previously.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Structure
Display Structure: Determines if swing structures are displayed.
Structure Length: Sets Length for structure identification.
🔹 Zones
Volume-Based Calculations: Opt to use a "Volume" based Profile Calculation instead of the default "Price Action" based Calculation.
Display Count: Sets the specific number of bullish and bearish zones to display on the chart.
Multiplier: Sets the multiplier to use for the value cut-off for determining zone boundaries.
🔹 Style
Display Average Lines: Toggles on/off the average (mid) lines for the zones.

Anchored Monte Carlo Shuffled Projection [LuxAlgo]The Anchored Monte Carlo Shuffled Projection tool randomly simulates future price points based on historical bar movements made before a user-anchored point in time.
By anchoring our data and projections to a single point in time, users can better understand and reflect on how the price played out while taking into consideration our random simulations.
🔶 USAGE
After selecting the indicator to apply to the chart, you will be prompted to "Set the Anchor Point". Do so by clicking on the desired location on your chart, only time is used as the anchor point.
Note: To select a new anchor point when applied to the chart, click on the 'More' dropdown next to the indicator status bar (○○○), then select "Reset points...".
Alternate Method: You are also able to click and drag the vertical line that displays on the anchor point bar when the indicator is highlighted.
By randomly simulating bar movements, a range is developed of potential price action which could be utilized to locate future price development as well as potential support/resistance levels.
Performing numerous simulations and taking the average at each step will converge toward the result highlighted by the "Average Line", and can point out where the price might develop, assuming the trend and amount of volatility persist.
Current closing price + Sum of changes in the calculation window
This constraint will cause the simulations always to display an endpoint consistent with the current lookback's slope.
While this may be helpful to some traders, this indicator includes an option to produce a less biased range, as seen below:
🔶 DETAILS
The Anchored Monte Carlo Shuffled Projection tool creates simulations based on prices within a user-set lookback window originating at the specified anchor point. Simulations are done as follows:
Collect each bar's price changes in the user-set window.
Randomize the order of each change in the window.
Project the cumulative sum of the shuffled changes from the current closing price.
Collect data on each point along the way.
This is the process for the Default calculation; for the 'Randomize Direction' calculation, when added onto the front for every other change, the value is inverted, creating the randomized endpoints for each simulation.
The script contains each simulation's data for that bar, with a maximum of 1000 simulations.
To get a glimpse behind the scenes, each simulation (up to 99) can be viewed using the 'Visualize Simulations' Options, as seen below.
Because the script holds the full simulation data, the script can also calculate this data, such as standard deviations.
In this script the Standard deviation lines are the average of all standard deviations across the vertical data groups, this provides a singular value that can be displayed a distance away from the simulation center line.
🔶 SETTINGS
Lookback: Sets the number of Bars to include in calculations.
Simulation Count: Sets the number of randomized simulations to calculate. (Max 1000)
Randomize Direction: See Details Above. Creates a more 'Normalized' Distribution
Visualize Simulations: See Details Above. Turns on Visualizations, and colors are randomly generated. Visualized max does not cap the calculated max. If 1000 simulations are used, the data will be from 1000 simulations, however, only the last 99 simulations will be visualized.
🔹 Standard Deviations
Standard Deviation Multiplier: Sets the multiplier to use for the Standard Deviation distance away from the center line.
🔹 Style
Extend Lines: Extends the Simulated Value Lines into the future for further reference and analysis.
Breakouts with Tests & Retests [LuxAlgo]The Breakouts Tests & Retests indicator highlights tests and retests of levels constructed from detected swing points. A swing area of interest switches colors when a breakout occurs.
Users can control the sensitivity of the swing point detection and the width of the swing areas.
🔶 USAGE
When a Swing point is detected, an area of interest is drawn, colored green for a bullish swing and red when bearish.
A test is confirmed when the opening price is situated in the area of interest, and the closing price is above or below the area, depending on whether it is a bullish or bearish swing. Tests are highlighted with a solid-colored triangle.
A breakout is confirmed when the price closes in the opposite position, below or above the area, in which case the area will switch colors.
If the opening price is located within the area and the closing price closes outside the area, in the same direction as the breakout, this is considered a retest . Retests are highlighted with a hollow-colored triangle.
Note that tests/retests do not act on wicks. The main factor is that the opening price is in the area of interest, while the closing price is outside.
🔹 Area Of Interest Width
The user can adjust the width of the swing areas. Changing the " Width " is a fast and easy way to find different areas of interest.
A higher "Multiple" setting would return a wider area, allowing price to develop within it for a longer period of time and potentially provide later test signals.
When a swing area is broken, a higher "Width" setting can make it more complicated for the price to break it again, allowing a swing area to remain valid for a longer period of time thus potentially providing more retest signals.
🔶 DETAILS
Generally, only one bullish/bearish pattern can be active at a time. This means that no more than 1 bullish or bearish area will be active.
The " Display " settings, however, can help control how areas of different types are displayed.
Bullish AND Bearish: Both, bullish and bearish patterns can be drawn at the same time
Bullish OR Bearish: Only 1 bullish or 1 bearish pattern is drawn at a time
Bullish: Only bullish patterns
Bearish: Only bearish patterns
🔹 Test/Retest Labels
The user can adjust the settings so only the latest test/retest label is shown or set a minimum number of bars until the next test/retest can be drawn.
🔹 Maximum Bars
Users can set a limit of bars for when there is no test/retest in that period; the area of interest won't be updated anymore and will be available and ready for the next Swing.
An option for pulling the area back to the last retest is included.
🔶 SETTINGS
Display: Determines which swing areas are displayed by the indicator. See the "DETAILS" section for more information
Multiple: Adjusts the width of the areas of interest
Maximum Bars: Limit of bars for when there is no test/retest
Display Test/Retest Labels: Show all labels or just the last test/retest label associated with a swing area
Minimum Bars: Minimum bars required for a subsequent test/retest label are allowed to be displayed
Set Back To Last Retest: When after "Maximum Bars" no test/retest is found, place the right side of the area at the last test/retest
🔹 Swings
Left: x amount of wicks on the left of a potential Swing need to be higher/lower for a Swing to be confirmed.
Right: The number of wicks on the right of a potential swing needs to be higher/lower for a Swing to be confirmed.
🔹 Style
Bullish: color for test period (before a breakout) / retest period (after a breakout)
Bearish: color for test period (before a breakout) / retest period (after a breakout)

It is a concept that emerges when an order block fails, leading to a change in market structure. It signifies a pivotal point where the market shifts direction, offering traders opportunities to enter trades based on anticipated trend continuation.
🔶 Key Features
Identifying Breaker Blocks: The indicator identifies breaker blocks by detecting pivot points in price action and corresponding volume spikes.
Breaker Block Sensitivity: Traders can adjust breaker block detection sensitivity, length to be used to find pivot points.
Mitigation Method (Close or Wick): Traders can choose between "Close" and "Wick" as the mitigation method. This choice determines whether the indicator considers closing prices or wicks in identifying breaker blocks. Selecting "Close" implies that breaker blocks will be considered broken when the closing price violates the block, while selecting "Wick" implies that the wick of the candle must violate the block for it to be considered broken.
Show Last X Breaker Blocks: Users can specify how many of the most recent breaker blocks to display on the chart.
Visualization: Volume breaker blocks are visually represented on the chart with customizable colors and text labels, allowing for easy interpretation of market conditions. Each breaker block is accompanied by informational text, including whether it's bullish or bearish and the corresponding volume, aiding traders in understanding the significance of each block.

Volatility ATR Support and Resistance Bands [Quantigenics]Volatility ATR Support and Resistance Bands
The “Volatility ATR Support and Resistance Bands” is a trend visualization tool that uses Average True Range (ATR) to create a dynamic channel around price action, adapting to changes in volatility and offering clear trend indicators. The band direction can indicate trend and the lines can indicate support and resistance levels.
The script works by calculating a series of moving averages from the highest and lowest prices, then applies an ATR-based multiplier to generate a set of bands. These bands expand and contract with the market’s volatility, providing a visual guide to the strength and potential direction of price movements.
How to Trade with Volatility ATR Band:
Identify Trend Direction: When the bands slope upwards, the market is trending upwards, which may be a good opportunity to consider a long position. When the bands slope downward, the market is trending downwards, which could be a sign to sell or short.
Volatility Awareness: The wider the bands, the higher the market volatility. Narrow bands suggest a quieter market, which might indicate consolidation or a potential breakout/breakdown.
Confirm Entries and Exits: Use the bands as dynamic support and resistance; entering trades as the price bounces off the bands and considering exits as it reaches the opposite side or breaches the bands.
Hope you enjoy this script!
Happy trading!

Volume Profile with Node Detection [LuxAlgo]The Volume Profile with Node Detection is a charting tool that allows visualizing the distribution of traded volume across specific price levels and highlights significant volume nodes or clusters of volume nodes that traders may find relevant in utilizing in their trading strategies.
🔶 USAGE
The volume profile component of the script serves as the foundation for node detection while encompassing all the essential features expected from a volume profile. See the sub-sections below for more detailed information about the indicator components and their usage.
🔹 Peak Volume Node Detection
A volume peak node is identified when the volume profile nodes for the N preceding and N succeeding nodes are lower than that of the evaluated one.
Displaying peak volume nodes along with their surrounding N nodes (Zones or Clusters) helps visualize the range, typically representing consolidation zones in the market. This feature enables traders to identify areas where trading activity has intensified, potentially signaling periods of price consolidation or indecision among market participants.
🔹 Trough Volume Node Detection
A volume trough node is identified when the volume profile nodes for the N preceding and N succeeding nodes are higher than that of the evaluated one.
🔹 Highest and Lowest Volume Nodes
Both the highest and lowest volume areas play significant roles in trading. The highest volume areas typically represent zones of strong price acceptance, where a significant amount of trading activity has occurred. On the other hand, the lowest volume areas signify price levels with minimal trading activity, often indicating zones of price rejection or areas where market participants have shown less interest.
🔹 Volume profile
Volume profile is calculated based on the volume of trades that occur at various price levels within a specified timeframe. It divides the price range into discrete price intervals, typically known as "price buckets" or "price bars," and then calculates the total volume of trades that occur at each price level within those intervals. This information is then presented graphically as a histogram or profile, where the height of each bar represents the volume of trades that occurred at that particular price level.
🔶 SETTINGS

Bull Bear Trend IndicatorIntroduction: Origin of the Swing Point Indicator
In the quest for a reliable indicator that accurately predicts trend directions and identifies valid highs and lows, the genesis of the Swing Point Indicator emerged. Faced with the challenge of finding a tool that provided comprehensive market analysis and actionable insights, the need for a novel solution became evident. Combining insights gleaned from market analysis and innovative algorithmic approaches, the Swing Point Indicator was born.
Enhanced Feature: Highs and Lows Labeling in Trend Direction
In addition to its core functionalities, the Swing Point Indicator incorporates an advanced feature that enhances the visualization of trend direction. This feature provides further clarity by selectively labeling highs and lows based on the prevailing trend, reinforcing the identification of higher highs and lower lows in uptrends and downtrends, respectively. Overlapping labels on highs and lows signify a potential trend change, providing traders with valuable insight into market reversals.
Detailed Description:
1. Uptrend Labeling:
- Higher Highs (Green Label with Price): In an uptrend, where higher highs are observed, the indicator labels these points with vibrant green color and includes the corresponding price value. This visually highlights the significance of higher highs as pivotal points in the upward trajectory of prices.
- Higher Lows (Red Marker without Text or Diamond): To complement the identification of higher highs, higher lows are marked with a distinct red marker or diamond, devoid of any accompanying text. While these points are crucial in delineating the ascending trend, their emphasis lies in their role as support levels, providing a foundation for upward price movements.
2. Downtrend Labeling:
- Lower Lows (Red Label with Price): Conversely, in a downtrend characterized by lower lows, the indicator labels these points with conspicuous red color, accompanied by the corresponding price value. Lower lows signify critical levels of downward price momentum, acting as indicators of potential bearish continuation.
- Lower Highs (Green Marker without Text or Diamond): Lower highs, indicative of downward retracements in a downtrend, are marked by distinctive green markers or diamonds without accompanying text. While these points denote temporary pauses or pullbacks in the bearish trend, their emphasis lies in their role as resistance levels, impeding upward price movements.
Functionality and Utility:
- Customizable Lookback Candle Count: Traders have the option to adjust the lookback candle count, which is set by default at 108 candles in the settings. This flexibility allows traders to tailor the indicator to their specific trading preferences and timeframes.
- Equal Highs or Lows Option: When enabled, the Swing Point Indicator can identify equal highs or equal lows, providing traders with additional insight into market dynamics.
- Formation Confirmation: A new higher high along with its higher low or a new lower low along with its lower high is confirmed after two candles have closed following the swing point candle. This ensures the reliability of the identified trend direction.
Conclusion:
The incorporation of selective labeling for highs and lows based on trend direction, alongside the introduction of customizable settings and formation confirmation criteria, enhances the effectiveness of the Swing Point Indicator. This feature-rich tool empowers traders with a nuanced understanding of market dynamics, highlighting critical price levels and trend reversals. By offering enhanced visualization, customizable options, and confirmation criteria, the Swing Point Indicator equips traders with the confidence and precision needed to navigate the markets successfully, contributing to more informed and profitable trading strategies.
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.
