Configurable Level Trading StrategyThe Dynamic Level Reversal Strategy is a trading approach designed to capitalize on price movements between key support and resistance levels. This strategy leverages configurable levels the trader determines, allowing for flexibility and adaptation to different market conditions.
Key Features:
Configurable Levels:
The strategy uses three key levels: Level 1 (Support), Level 2 (Middle), and Level 3 (Resistance). These levels can be adjusted directly within the script settings, making the strategy adaptable to various trading scenarios.
Buy and Sell Signals:
A buy signal is triggered when the price touches Level 1 and shows signs of reversal. The trader enters a position and sets an initial stop-loss just below Level 1.
As the price moves upward, the stop-loss is dynamically adjusted to just below Level 2 and Level 3, locking in profits while managing risk.
A sell signal is generated if the price reverses and crosses below the current stop-loss level, ensuring the trader exits the position with minimized losses.
Iterative Process:
The strategy allows for iterative trades, where the trader re-enters positions at Level 1 or Level 2 if the price revisits these levels, continually adjusting stop-losses and take-profit targets as the price oscillates between the defined levels.
Ideal Use Cases:
Range-Bound Markets: The strategy is particularly effective in markets where the price tends to oscillate between well-defined support and resistance levels.
Volatile Markets: The dynamic adjustment of stop-loss levels helps protect against sudden price reversals, making it suitable for volatile market conditions.
How to Use:
Set the desired levels (Level 1, Level 2, Level 3) based on your market analysis.
The script will automatically generate buy and sell signals, and adjust stop-loss levels as the price moves through the levels.
Monitor the signals and execute trades according to the strategy's guidelines.

IBD PowerTrendThis IBD PowerTrend indicator is designed to help traders identify strong market uptrends based on the IBD Market School's Power Trend methodology. It is intended to be added to daily charts on major indexes.
Concept and Methodology
The IBD PowerTrend helps traders identify strong market uptrends. Markets generally exist in three states: uptrends, downtrends, and rangebound motion. This methodology focuses on:
Downtrends: Stay out of the market.
Rangebound markets: Often frustrating, best avoided.
Uptrends: Identify the strongest uptrends early.
This indicator uses IBD's research on historical uptrends to help traders get in and stay in during robust market phases.
How It Works
A PowerTrend starts when the following four conditions are met simultaneously on a major index:
10-Day Low Above 21-Day EMA : The market's low must be above the 21-day exponential moving average (EMA) for at least 10 consecutive days.
21-Day EMA Above 50-Day SMA : The 21-day EMA must be above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) for at least five consecutive days.
50-Day SMA Uptrend : The 50-day SMA must be in an uptrend (one day is sufficient).
Market Closes Up : The market must close higher than the previous day's close.
A PowerTrend typically ends when the 21-day EMA crosses back below the 50-day SMA. However, there are rare cases where a PowerTrend can end early due to a circuit breaker or a follow-through day failure. In this script, a circuit breaker is defined as a break of the 50-day line and being more than 10% below recent highs (interpreted as three months).
How to Use
When the PowerTrend is active, the indicator will plot green circles, signaling a strong market uptrend. During these periods, traders might observe opportunities in growth stocks breaking out of sound bases and consider the use of margin. Conversely, during downtrends, the indicator suggests a more defensive approach.
It is recommended to use on daily timeframe.

ROC (Rate of Change) Refurbished▮ Introduction
The Rate of Change indicator (ROC) is a momentum oscillator.
It was first introduced in the early 1970s by the American technical analyst Welles Wilder.
It calculates the percentage change in price between periods.
ROC takes the current price and compares it to a price 'n' periods (user defined) ago.
The calculated value is then plotted and fluctuates above and below a Zero Line.
A technical analyst may use ROC for:
- trend identification;
- identifying overbought and oversold conditions.
Even though ROC is an oscillator, it is not bounded to a set range.
The reason for this is that there is no limit to how far a security can advance in price but of course there is a limit to how far it can decline.
If price goes to $0, then it obviously will not decline any further.
Because of this, ROC can sometimes appear to be unbalanced.

▮ Improvements
The following features were added:
1. Eight moving averages for the indicator;
2. Dynamic Zones;
3. Rules for coloring bars/candles.
▮ Motivation
Averages have been added to improve trend identification.
For finer tuning, you can choose the type of averages.
You can hide them if you don't need them.
The Dynamic Zones has been added to make it easier to identify overbought/oversold regions.
Unlike other oscillators like the RSI for example, the ROC does not have a predetermined range of oscillations.
Therefore, a fixed line that defines an overbought/oversold range becomes unfeasible.
It is in this matter that the Dynamic Zone helps.
It dynamically adjusts as the indicator oscillates.
▮ About Dynamic Zones
'Most indicators use a fixed zone for buy and sell signals.
Here's a concept based on zones that are responsive to the past levels of the indicator.'
The concept of Dynamic Zones was described by Leo Zamansky (Ph.D.) and David Stendahl, in the magazine of Stocks & Commodities V15:7 (306-310).
Basically, a statistical calculation is made to define the extreme levels, delimiting a possible overbought/oversold region.
Given user-defined probabilities, the percentile is calculated using the method of Nearest Rank.
It is calculated by taking the difference between the data point and the number of data points below it, then dividing by the total number of data points in the set.
The result is expressed as a percentage.
This provides a measure of how a particular value compares to other values in a data set, identifying outliers or values that are significantly higher or lower than the rest of the data.
