🐢 Turtle Soup Strategy v1.0 – TBS/TWS + OB/FVG + SL/TP🐢 Turtle Soup Strategy v1.0 – Backtest Edition
This document gives you everything you need to use, interpret, and optimize the Turtle Soup Strategy in TradingView.
🐢 What is Turtle Soup?
Turtle Soup is a reversal trading strategy based on false breakouts of recent highs or lows — often referred to as liquidity traps.
Popularized by Linda Raschke , it flips the logic of breakout trading on its head by betting against the breakout, especially when it occurs near key swing points or in range-bound markets.
The idea is simple:
"When the turtles come out, the smart money cooks them."
🧠 In practice, traders place buy orders after price dips below a recent low and reverses, or sell orders after a false breakout above a high.
These fakeouts are often stop hunts, where large players induce retail traders into breakout positions, only to reverse the market against them — providing high-probability entry points for contrarian traders.
🧪 Core Components of Turtle Soup:
✅ Donchian Channel (recent swing high/low)
✅ Wick or body breakout
✅ Fast reversal back into range
✅ (Optional) Order block or FVG confluence
🔥 Why It Works:
Exploits liquidity zones where retail stops are clustered
Aligns with smart money concepts
Highly effective in sideways markets or after exhaustion spikes
🔎 What This Strategy Does
This is a reversal-based price action strategy that identifies false breakouts of recent highs or lows (liquidity traps), using the popular Turtle Soup pattern.
It enters trades when:
Price fakes out past the Donchian high or low
Closes back into the range
Optionally confirms with:
✅ Order Block Confluence (institutional footprint)
✅ Fair Value Gap (FVG) Confluence (imbalance)
It then sets:
🛑 A Stop Loss (SL) below/above the signal candle
🎯 A Take Profit (TP1) at a customizable Risk-Reward Ratio (RR) (default 1.5x)
🎯 Core Concepts
1. TBS – Turtle Body Soup
Full-body breakout and close back inside range
Considered stronger and more reliable
2. TWS – Turtle Wick Soup
Wick only breaks the high/low, body closes back inside
Weaker but still valid in confluence
⚙️ Inputs & Settings
Setting Description
Donchian Lookback Period for high/low reference (default: 20 candles)
TP1 RR Risk-Reward ratio for take profit target 1 (default: 1.5)
Use Order Block Filter If ON, requires bullish/bearish OB to validate the entry
Use FVG Filter If ON, requires FVG confluence (gap in price action = imbalance)
You can adjust these in the strategy’s Settings panel (gear icon in TradingView).
📈 How Trades Are Triggered
🟢 Long Entry occurs when:
TBS or TWS long signal is detected
(optional) Bullish Order Block present
(optional) Bullish FVG present
→ Entry: Close of signal candle
→ SL: Below candle’s low
→ TP1: Calculated from RR (default: 1.5x distance to SL)
🔴 Short Entry occurs when:
TBS or TWS short signal is detected
(optional) Bearish Order Block present
(optional) Bearish FVG present
→ Entry: Close of signal candle
→ SL: Above candle’s high
→ TP1: Calculated from RR (default: 1.5x distance to SL)

💡 Optimization Tips
What to Test - Why It Matters
Donchian Lookback - 20 is default, but shorter (10) catches faster setups
TP1 RR - Try 1.2 to 2.5 for different market types
Use/Disable Order Block Filter - Adds precision, reduces trades
Use/Disable FVG Filter . Adds imbalance confirmation
Lower Timeframes (M15–H1) - Gives more trades for statistical testing
🧠 When It Works Best
This strategy shines in:
Choppy / range-bound markets (liquidity traps are frequent)
Smart money behavior areas: stop hunts before reversals
Near session opens, news volatility, and false breakouts
Avoid in:
Strong trending markets without reversal signals
Low liquidity / overnight hours (on low timeframes)

Candlestick pattern + FVG + sessionThis script includes three main features:
1) Candlestick Pattern Identification: It highlights bullish and bearish candlestick sequences.
2) Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection: It detects Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and highlights them on the chart.
3) Session Ranges: The script allows the user to define and visualize trading session ranges (Session 1 and Session 2), as well as their high and low points.
*Let me know in the comments if you'd like to see more indicators like this one.
-------------------------------------KEY FEATURES-------------------------------------
CANDLESTICK PATTERN IDENTIFICATION:
(The script checks for a specific candlestick pattern)
Bullish Pattern: The script identifies two consecutive candles where both are BLACK (downward trend).
Bearish Pattern: The script identifies two consecutive green candles (upward trend).
If the pattern is identified, it colors the bars of the candles accordingly:
Green for bullish (upward).
black for bearish (downward).
FAIR VALUE GAP (FVG) DETECTION:
The script identifies Bullish and Bearish Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
A Bullish FVG occurs when the low of the current bar is higher than the high of the bar two periods ago.
A Bearish FVG occurs when the high of the current bar is lower than the low of the bar two periods ago.
When a gap is detected, a colored box is drawn on the chart to represent the gap area. The user can customize the color and opacity of the boxes.
SESSION RANGES:
The user can define the time range for Session 1 and Session 2.
"Session 1 is by default configured to align with the regular trading hours, starting at 9:30 AM (market open) and ending at 4:00 PM (market close).
Session 2 is by default configured to begin at 9:30 AM (market open) and conclude 30 minutes thereafter."
The script can plot the high and low points of each session and display them on the chart as lines. These points can be customized to be visible or hidden, and the session ranges can also be highlighted with a box.
Additionally, the script allows users to control whether the max/min points for each session should be displayed.
This script can be used by traders who want to identify candlestick patterns, detect FVGs, and monitor session ranges on their charts. It is particularly useful for traders who focus on price action and market structure, as it allows for visual analysis of inefficient areas during the trading sessions of the day
( This script has been tested only on the H4 timeframe.)
MACD Filtered CrossThis indicator adds on to the standard MACD cross by adding a filter. It can be used to filter only MACD crosses above zero or below zero.
I separated the cross ups and cross downs if you only want to see bullish or bearish crosses.
Personally, I like looking for bullish MACD crosses above 0 for possible longs.
Enjoy!
ScalpSwing Pro SetupScript Overview
This script is a multi-tool setup designed for both scalping (1m–5m) and swing trading (1H–4H–Daily). It combines the power of trend-following , momentum , and mean-reversion tools:
What’s Included in the Script
1. EMA Indicators (20, 50, 200)
- EMA 20 (blue) : Short-term trend
- EMA 50 (orange) : Medium-term trend
- EMA 200 (red) : Long-term trend
- Use:
- EMA 20 crossing above 50 → bullish trend
- EMA 20 crossing below 50 → bearish trend
- Price above 200 EMA = uptrend bias
2. VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
- Shows the average price weighted by volume
- Best used in intraday (1m to 15m timeframes)
- Use:
- Price bouncing from VWAP = reversion trade
- Price far from VWAP = likely pullback incoming
3. RSI (14) + Key Levels
- Shows momentum and overbought/oversold zones
- Levels:
- 70 = Overbought (potential sell)
- 30 = Oversold (potential buy)
- 50 = Trend confirmation
- Use:
- RSI 30–50 in uptrend = dip buying zone
- RSI 70–50 in downtrend = pullback selling zone
4. MACD Crossovers
- Standard MACD with histogram & cross alerts
- Shows trend momentum shifts
- Green triangle = Bullish MACD crossover
- Red triangle = Bearish MACD crossover
- Use:
- Confirm swing trades with MACD crossover
- Combine with RSI divergence
5. Buy & Sell Signal Logic
BUY SIGNAL triggers when:
- EMA 20 crosses above EMA 50
- RSI is between 50 and 70 (momentum bullish, not overbought)
SELL SIGNAL triggers when:
- EMA 20 crosses below EMA 50
- RSI is between 30 and 50 (bearish momentum, not oversold)
These signals appear as:
- BUY : Green label below the candle
- SELL : Red label above the candle
How to Trade with It
For Scalping (1m–5m) :
- Focus on EMA crosses near VWAP
- Confirm with RSI between 50–70 (buy) or 50–30 (sell)
- Use MACD triangle as added confluence
For Swing (1H–4H–Daily) :
- Look for EMA 20–50 cross + price above EMA 200
- Confirm trend with MACD and RSI
- Trade breakout or pullback depending on structure

FunkyQuokka's $ Volume💡 Why $ Volume Matters
Share volume alone is a half-truth — 1M shares traded at $5 isn’t the same as 1M shares at $500. That’s where dollar volume steps in, offering a far more accurate view of institutional interest, breakout validity, liquidity zones and overall trader conviction.
📈 Features:
Clean histogram of dollar volume (close × volume)
Orange line showing customizable average $ volume
K/M/B formatting for axis scale (no huge ugly numbers)
Minimal design to blend into a multi-pane layout
⚙️ Inputs:
Tweakable average length – defaults to 20

EMA Shakeout DetectorEMA Shakeout & Reclaim Zones
Description:
This Pine Script helps traders quickly identify potential shakeout entries based on price action and volume dynamics. Shakeouts often signal strong accumulation, where institutions drive the stock below a key moving average before reclaiming it, creating an opportunity for traders to enter at favorable prices.
How It Works:
1. Volume Surge Filtering:
a. Computes the 51-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of volume.
b. Identifies days where volume surged 2x above the 51-day average.
c. Filters stocks that had at least two such high-volume days in the last 21 trading days (configurable).
2. Stock Selection Criteria:
a. The stock must be within 25% of its 52-week high.
b. It should have rallied at least 30% from its 52-week low.
Shakeout Conditions:
1. The stock must be trading above the 51-day EMA before the shakeout.
2. A sudden price drop of more than 10% occurs, pushing the stock below the 51-day EMA.
3. A key index (e.g., Nifty 50, S&P 500) must be trading above its 10-day EMA, ensuring overall market strength.
Visualization:
Shakeout zones are highlighted in blue, making it easier to spot potential accumulation areas and study price & volume action in more detail.
This script is ideal for traders looking to identify institutional shakeouts and gain an edge by recognizing high-probability reversal setups.

ADR Checker - Breakouts📈 ADR Checker – Breakouts
Gain the edge by knowing when a stock has already made its move.
🚀 What It Does:
The ADR Checker - Breakouts is a powerful yet simple visual tool that helps traders instantly assess whether a stock has already exceeded its Average Daily Range (ADR) for the day — a critical piece of information for momentum traders, swing traders, and especially those following breakout, VCP, or CANSLIM strategies.
Using a customizable on-screen table that always stays in view (regardless of zoom or chart scaling), this script shows:
✅ Average ADR% – 20-day average range, calculated in %.
📊 Today’s Move – how much the stock has moved today.
🔥 % of Avg ADR – today's move relative to its historical average, with live color feedback:
🟥 Over 100% (Overextended – danger!)
🟧 70-100% (Caution zone)
🟩 Below 70% (Room to move)
💡 Why It Matters:
One of the most overlooked mistakes by breakout traders is entering a trade after the move has already happened. If a stock has already moved more than its typical daily range, the odds of further continuation sharply decrease, while the risk of pullback or chop increases.
With this tool, you can:
🚫 Avoid chasing extended breakouts
🎯 Time entries before the real move
⚠️ Quickly assess risk/reward potential intraday
🧠 Example Use Case:
Imagine you're watching a classic VCP setup or flat base breakout. The stock breaks out on volume—but when you check this indicator, you see:
Today’s Move: 7.2%
Avg ADR: 5.3%
% of ADR: 135% 🟥
This tells you the stock is already well beyond its average daily range. While it may continue higher, odds now favor a consolidation, shakeout, or pullback. This is your cue to wait for a better entry or pass entirely.
On the flip side, if the breakout just started and the % of ADR is still under 50%, you have confirmation that there’s room to run — giving you more confidence to enter early.
⚙️ Fully Customizable:
Choose position on screen (top/bottom left/right)
Customize text color, background, and size
🔧 Install This Tool and:
✅ Stop chasing extended moves
✅ Add discipline to your entries
✅ Improve your breakout win rate
Perfect for VCP, CANSLIM, and BREAKOUT traders who want a clean, edge-enhancing visual guide.
Adaptive Fibonacci Volatility Bands (AFVB)
**Adaptive Fibonacci Volatility Bands (AFVB)**
### **Overview**
The **Adaptive Fibonacci Volatility Bands (AFVB)** indicator enhances standard **Fibonacci retracement levels** by dynamically adjusting them based on market **volatility**. By incorporating **ATR (Average True Range) adjustments**, this indicator refines key **support and resistance zones**, helping traders identify **more reliable entry and exit points**.
**Key Features:**
- **ATR-based adaptive Fibonacci levels** that adjust to changing market volatility.
- **Buy and Sell signals** based on price interactions with dynamic support/resistance.
- **Toggleable confirmation filter** for refining trade signals.
- **Customizable color schemes** and alerts.
---
## **How This Indicator Works**
The **AFVB** operates in three main steps:
### **1️⃣ Detecting Key Fibonacci Levels**
The script calculates **swing highs and swing lows** using a user-defined lookback period. From this, it derives **Fibonacci retracement levels**:
- **0% (High)**
- **23.6%**
- **38.2%**
- **50% (Mid-Level)**
- **61.8%**
- **78.6%**
- **100% (Low)**
### **2️⃣ Adjusting for Market Volatility**
Instead of using **fixed retracement levels**, this indicator incorporates an **ATR-based adjustment**:
- **Resistance levels** shift **upward** based on ATR.
- **Support levels** shift **downward** based on ATR.
- This makes levels more **responsive** to price action.
### **3️⃣ Generating Buy & Sell Signals**
AFVB provides **two types of signals** based on price interactions with key levels:
✔ **Buy Signal**:
Occurs when price **dips below** a support level (78.6% or 100%) and **then closes back above it**.
- **Optionally**, a confirmation buffer can be enabled to require price to close **above an additional threshold** (based on ATR).
✔ **Sell Signal**:
Triggered when price **breaks above a resistance level** (0% or 23.6%) and **then closes below it**.
📌 **Important:**
- The **buy threshold setting** allows traders to **fine-tune** entry conditions.
- Turning this setting **off** generates **more frequent** buy signals.
- Keeping it **on** reduces false signals but may result in **fewer trade opportunities**.
---
## **How to Use This Indicator in Trading**
### 🔹 **Entry Strategy (Buying)**
1️⃣ Look for **buy signals** at the **78.6% or 100% Fibonacci levels**.
2️⃣ Ensure price **closes above** the support level before entering a long trade.
3️⃣ **Enable or disable** the buy threshold filter depending on desired trade strictness.
### 🔹 **Exit Strategy (Selling)**
1️⃣ Watch for **sell signals** at the **0% or 23.6% Fibonacci levels**.
2️⃣ If price **breaks above resistance and then closes below**, consider exiting long positions.
3️⃣ Can be used **alone** or **combined with trend confirmation tools** (e.g., moving averages, RSI).
### 🔹 **Using the Toggleable Buy Threshold**
- **ON**: Buy signal requires **extra confirmation** (reduces false signals but fewer trades).
- **OFF**: Buy triggers as soon as price **closes back above support** (more signals, but may include weaker setups).
---
## **User Inputs**
### **🔧 Customization Options**
- **ATR Length**: Defines the period for **ATR calculation**.
- **Swing Lookback**: Determines how far back to find **swing highs and lows**.
- **ATR Multiplier**: Adjusts the size of **volatility-based modifications**.
- **Buy/Sell Threshold Factor**: Fine-tunes the **entry signal strictness**.
- **Show Level Labels**: Enables/disables **Fibonacci level annotations**.
- **Color Settings**: Customize **support/resistance colors**.
### **📢 Alerts**
AFVB includes built-in **alert conditions** for:
- **Buy Signals** ("AFVB BUY SIGNAL - Possible reversal at support")
- **Sell Signals** ("AFVB SELL SIGNAL - Possible reversal at resistance")
- **Any Signal Triggered** (Useful for automated alerts)
---
## **Who Is This Indicator For?**
✅ **Scalpers & Day Traders** – Helps identify **short-term reversals**.
✅ **Swing Traders** – Useful for **buying dips** and **selling rallies**.
✅ **Trend Traders** – Can be combined with **momentum indicators** for confirmation.
**Best Timeframes:**
⏳ **15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, Daily charts** (works across multiple assets).
---
## **Limitations & Considerations**
🚨 **Important Notes**:
- **No indicator guarantees profits**. Always **combine** it with **risk management strategies**.

Fractal Breakout Trend Following System█ OVERVIEW
The Fractal Breakout Trend Following System is a custom technical analysis tool designed to pinpoint significant fractal pivot points and breakout levels. By analyzing price action through configurable pivot parameters, this indicator dynamically identifies key support and resistance zones. It not only marks crucial highs and lows on the chart but also signals potential trend reversals through real-time breakout detections, helping traders capture shifts in market momentum.
█ KEY FEATURES
Fractal Pivot Detection
Utilizes user-defined left and right pivot lengths to detect local highs (pivot highs) and lows (pivot lows). This fractal-based approach ensures that only meaningful price moves are considered, effectively filtering out minor market noise.
Dynamic Line Visualization
Upon confirmation of a pivot, the system draws a dynamic line representing resistance (from pivot highs) or support (from pivot lows). These lines extend across the chart until a breakout occurs, offering a continuous visual guide to key levels.
Trend Breakout Signals
Monitors for price crossovers relative to the drawn pivot lines. A crossover above a resistance line signals a bullish breakout, while a crossunder below a support line indicates a bearish move, thus updating the prevailing trend.
Pivot Labelling
Assigns labels such as "HH", "LH", "LL", or "HL" to detected pivots based on their relative values.
It uses the following designations:
HH (Higher High) : Indicates that the current pivot high is greater than the previous pivot high, suggesting continued upward momentum.
LH (Lower High) : Signals that the current pivot high is lower than the previous pivot high, which may hint at a potential reversal within an uptrend.
LL (Lower Low) : Shows that the current pivot low is lower than the previous pivot low, confirming sustained downward pressure.
HL (Higher Low) : Reveals that the current pivot low is higher than the previous pivot low, potentially indicating the beginning of an upward reversal in a downtrend.
These labels provide traders with immediate insight into the market structure and recent price behavior.
Customizable Visual Settings
Offers various customization options:
• Adjust pivot sensitivity via left/right pivot inputs.
• Toggle pivot labels on or off.
• Enable background color changes to reflect bullish or bearish trends.
• Choose preferred colors for bullish (e.g., green) and bearish (e.g., red) signals.
█ UNDERLYING METHODOLOGY & CALCULATIONS
Fractal Pivot Calculation
The script employs a sliding window technique using configurable left and right parameters to identify local highs and lows. Detected pivot values are sanitized to ensure consistency in subsequent calculations.
Dynamic Line Plotting
When a new pivot is detected, a corresponding line is drawn from the pivot point. This line extends until the price breaks the level, at which point it is reset. This method provides a continuous reference for support and resistance.
Trend Breakout Identification
By continuously monitoring price interactions with the pivot lines, the indicator identifies breakouts. A price crossover above a resistance line suggests a bullish breakout, while a crossunder below a support line indicates a bearish shift. The current trend is updated accordingly.
Pivot Label Assignment
The system compares the current pivot with the previous one to determine if the move represents a higher high, lower high, higher low, or lower low. This classification helps traders understand the underlying market momentum.
█ HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
1 — Apply the Indicator
• Add the Fractal Breakout Trend Following System to your chart to begin visualizing dynamic pivot points and breakout signals.
2 — Adjust Settings for Your Market
• Pivot Detection – Configure the left and right pivot lengths for both highs and lows to suit your desired sensitivity:
- Use shorter lengths for more responsive signals in fast-moving markets.
- Use longer lengths to filter out minor fluctuations in volatile conditions.
• Visual Customization – Toggle the display of pivot labels and background color changes. Select your preferred colors for bullish and bearish trends.
3 — Interpret the Signals
• Support & Resistance Lines – Observe the dynamically drawn lines that represent key pivot levels.
• Pivot Labels – Look for labels like "HH", "LH", "LL", and "HL" to quickly assess market structure and trend behavior.
• Trend Signals – Watch for price crossovers and corresponding background color shifts to gauge bullish or bearish breakouts.
4 — Integrate with Your Trading Strategy
• Use the identified pivot points as potential support and resistance levels.
• Combine breakout signals with other technical indicators for comprehensive trade confirmation.
• Adjust the sensitivity settings to tailor the indicator to various instruments and market conditions.
█ CONCLUSION
The Fractal Breakout Trend Following System offers a robust framework for identifying critical fractal pivot points and potential breakout opportunities. With its dynamic line plotting, clear pivot labeling, and customizable visual settings, this indicator equips traders with actionable insights to enhance decision-making and optimize entry and exit strategies.
RSI Trend Bias█ OVERVIEW
The RSI Trend Bias indicator is a custom technical analysis tool that utilizes the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to gauge market momentum and identify potential trend shifts. By monitoring RSI crossovers and crossunders relative to customizable threshold levels, the indicator provides clear visual cues that distinguish between bullish and bearish market conditions. This flexible approach makes it suitable for both short-term scalping and longer-term trend analysis.
█ KEY FEATURES
Dynamic RSI Trend Detection
The indicator dynamically determines market bias by monitoring the RSI for crossovers above the upper threshold and crossunders below the lower threshold. This method ensures that only significant momentum shifts trigger a change in trend, reducing false signals in volatile markets.
Adaptive Visualizations
The RSI Trend Bias indicator enhances clarity by plotting the RSI with colors that reflect current market conditions. Additionally, it offers an optional background color change to further emphasize bullish or bearish states, providing immediate visual feedback to traders.
Clear Threshold Indicators
Upper and lower threshold levels are plotted as constant reference lines, clearly delineating overbought and oversold regions. These markers help traders quickly assess market conditions at a glance.
Customizable Settings
Users have full control over key parameters including the RSI length, threshold levels, and visual settings. This customization allows the indicator to be tailored for different markets and trading styles, ensuring optimal performance across various timeframes.
█ UNDERLYING METHODOLOGY & CALCULATIONS
RSI Calculation
The indicator computes the Relative Strength Index over a user-defined period (default is 14), providing a measure of market momentum that reflects price changes over time.
Trend Determination Logic
By detecting when the RSI crosses above the upper threshold, the indicator signals a shift towards bullish momentum. Conversely, a crossunder below the lower threshold indicates bearish conditions. This straightforward binary approach filters out minor fluctuations, ensuring clarity in trend analysis.
Visual Signal Integration
Based on the detected trend, the RSI line is dynamically colored—green for bullish conditions and red for bearish conditions. An optional background color change further reinforces these signals, offering an immediate visual cue of prevailing market sentiment.
█ HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
1 — Apply the Indicator
• Add the RSI Trend Bias indicator to a separate pane in your trading platform.
2 — Adjust Settings for Your Market
• RSI Length – Define the period for RSI calculation (default is 14).
• Threshold Levels – Set the upper (default 70) and lower (default 30) thresholds to identify overbought and oversold conditions.
• Visual Customization – Choose the bullish (green) and bearish (red) colors, and enable background color changes to enhance visual trend recognition.
3 — Interpret the Signals
• RSI Line – Observe the dynamically colored RSI line; a shift to green signals bullish momentum, while red indicates bearish conditions.
• Threshold Levels – Use the constant upper and lower lines as reference points for overbought and oversold states.
• Signal Timing – A crossover above the upper threshold or a crossunder below the lower threshold suggests potential entry or exit points.

Percentage Based ZigZag█ OVERVIEW
The Percentage-Based ZigZag indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed to highlight significant price reversals while filtering out market noise. Unlike many standard zigzag tools that rely solely on fixed price moves or generic trend-following methods, this indicator uses a configurable percentage threshold to dynamically determine meaningful pivot points. This approach not only adapts to different market conditions but also helps traders distinguish between minor fluctuations and truly significant trend shifts—whether scalping on shorter timeframes or analyzing longer-term trends.
█ KEY FEATURES & ORIGINALITY
Dynamic Pivot Detection
The indicator identifies pivot points by measuring the percentage change from the previous extreme (high or low). Only when this change exceeds a user-defined threshold is a new pivot recognized. This method ensures that only substantial moves are considered, making the indicator robust in volatile or noisy markets.
Enhanced ZigZag Visualization
By connecting significant highs and lows with a continuous line, the indicator creates a clear visual map of price swings. Each pivot point is labelled with the corresponding price and the percentage change from the previous pivot, providing immediate quantitative insight into the magnitude of the move.
Trend Reversal Projections
In addition to marking completed reversals, the script computes and displays potential future reversal points based on the current trend’s momentum. This forecasting element gives traders an advanced look at possible turning points, which can be particularly useful for short-term scalping strategies.
Customizable Visual Settings
Users can tailor the appearance by:
• Setting the percentage threshold to control sensitivity.
• Customizing colors for bullish (e.g., green) and bearish (e.g., red) reversals.
• Enabling optional background color changes that visually indicate the prevailing trend.
█ UNDERLYING METHODOLOGY & CALCULATIONS
Percentage-Based Filtering
The script continuously monitors price action and calculates the relative percentage change from the last identified pivot. A new pivot is confirmed only when the price moves a preset percentage away from this pivot, ensuring that minor fluctuations do not trigger false signals.
Pivot Point Logic
The indicator tracks the highest high and the lowest low since the last pivot. When the price reverses by the required percentage from these extremes, the algorithm:
1 — Labels the point as a significant high or low.
2 — Draws a connecting line from the previous pivot to the current one.
3 — Resets the extreme-tracking for detecting the next move.
Real-Time Reversal Estimation
Building on traditional zigzag methods, the script incorporates a projection calculation. By analyzing the current trend’s strength and recent percentage moves, it estimates where a future reversal might occur, offering traders actionable foresight.
█ HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
1 — Apply the Indicator
• Add the Percentage-Based ZigZag indicator to your trading chart.
2 — Adjust Settings for Your Market
• Percentage Move – Set a threshold that matches your trading style:
- Lower values for sensitive, high-frequency analysis (ideal for scalping).
- Higher values for filtering out noise on longer timeframes.
• Visual Customization – Choose your preferred colors for bullish and bearish signals and enable background color changes for visual trend cues.
• Reversal Projection – Enable or disable the projection feature to display potential upcoming reversal points.
3 — Interpret the Signals
• ZigZag Lines – White lines trace significant high-to-low or low-to-high movements, visually connecting key swing points.
• Pivot Labels – Each pivot is annotated with the exact price level and percentage change, providing quantitative insight into market momentum.
• Trend Projections – When enabled, projected reversal levels offer insight into where the current trend might change.
4 — Integrate with Your Trading Strategy
• Use the indicator to identify support and resistance zones derived from significant pivots.
• Combine the quantitative data (percentage changes) with your risk management strategy to set optimal stop-loss and take-profit levels.
• Experiment with different threshold settings to adapt the indicator for various instruments or market conditions.
█ CONCLUSION
The Percentage-Based ZigZag indicator goes beyond traditional trend-following tools by filtering out market noise and providing clear, quantifiable insights into price action. With its percentage threshold for pivot detection and real-time reversal projections, this original methodology and customizable feature set offer traders a versatile edge for making informed trading decisions.
[SHORT ONLY] Consecutive Bars Above MA Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "Consecutive Bars Above MA Strategy" is a contrarian trading system aimed at exploiting overextended bullish moves in stocks and ETFs. It monitors the number of consecutive bars that close above a chosen short-term moving average (which can be either a Simple Moving Average or an Exponential Moving Average). Once the count reaches a preset threshold and the current bar’s close exceeds the previous bar’s high within a designated trading window, a short entry is initiated. An optional EMA filter further refines entries by requiring that the current close is below the 200-period EMA, helping to ensure that trades are taken in a bearish environment.
█ HOW ARE THE CONSECUTIVE BULLISH COUNTS CALCULATED?
The strategy utilizes a counter variable, `bullCount`, to track consecutive bullish bars based on their relation to the short-term moving average. Here’s how the count is determined:
Initialize the Counter
The counter is initialized at the start:
var int bullCount = na
Bullish Bar Detection
For each bar, if the close is above the selected moving average (either SMA or EMA, based on user input), the counter is incremented:
bullCount := close > signalMa ? (na(bullCount) ? 1 : bullCount + 1) : 0
Reset on Non-Bullish Condition
If the close does not exceed the moving average, the counter resets to zero, indicating a break in the consecutive bullish streak.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. SHORT ENTRY
A short signal is generated when:
The number of consecutive bullish bars (i.e., bars closing above the short-term MA) meets or exceeds the defined threshold (default: 3).
The current bar’s close is higher than the previous bar’s high.
The signal occurs within the specified trading window (between Start Time and End Time).
Additionally, if the EMA filter is enabled, the entry is only executed when the current close is below the 200-period EMA.
2. EXIT CONDITION
An exit signal is triggered when the current close falls below the previous bar’s low, prompting the strategy to close the short position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Threshold: The number of consecutive bullish bars required to trigger a short entry (default is 3).
Trading Window: The Start Time and End Time inputs define when the strategy is active.
Moving Average Settings: Choose between SMA and EMA, and set the MA length (default is 5), which is used to assess each bar’s bullish condition.
EMA Filter (Optional): When enabled, this filter requires that the current close is below the 200-period EMA, supporting entries in a downtrend.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for stocks and ETFs and can be applied across various timeframes.
It seeks to capture mean reversion by shorting after a series of bullish bars suggests an overextended move.
The approach employs a contrarian short entry by waiting for a breakout (close > previous high) following consecutive bullish bars.
The adjustable moving average settings and optional EMA filter allow for further optimization based on market conditions.
Comprehensive backtesting is recommended to fine-tune the threshold, moving average parameters, and filter settings for optimal performance.

RSI & DPO support/resistanceThis indicator combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to identify overbought and oversold conditions with the Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) to highlight support and resistance levels.
Unlike traditional indicators that display these metrics in a separate window, this tool integrates them directly onto the main price chart.
This allows for a more cohesive analysis, enabling traders to easily visualize the relationship between price movements and momentum indicators in one unified view.
How to Use It:
Identify Overbought and Oversold Conditions:
Look for RSI values above 70 to identify overbought conditions, suggesting a potential price reversal or pullback. Conversely, RSI values below 30 indicate oversold conditions, which may signal a potential price bounce or upward movement.
Analyze Support and Resistance Levels:
Observe the DPO lines on the main chart to identify key support and resistance levels. When the price approaches these levels, it can provide insights into potential price reversals or breakouts.
Combine Signals for Trading Decisions:
Use the RSI and DPO signals together to make informed trading decisions. For example, if the RSI indicates an overbought condition while the price is near a resistance level identified by the DPO, it may be a good opportunity to consider selling or taking profits.
Monitor Divergences:
Watch for divergences between the RSI and price movements. If the price is making new highs while the RSI is not, it could indicate weakening momentum and a potential reversal.
Set Alerts:
Consider setting alerts for when the RSI crosses above or below the overbought or oversold thresholds, or when the price approaches significant support or resistance levels indicated by the DPO.
Practice Risk Management:
Always use proper risk management techniques, such as setting stop-loss orders and position sizing, to protect your capital while trading based on these indicators.
By following these steps, traders can effectively utilize this indicator to enhance their market analysis and improve their trading strategies.
