Fair Value Gap & Gap Profile [BigBeluga]This indicator is designed to help traders identify and utilize fair value gaps on price charts and analyze volume at these points. These gaps, formed by significant price movements, can act as key support and resistance levels. The indicator enhances trading strategies by visually representing these gaps, making it easier for traders to spot potential entry and exit points.
⦿ What Is A Fair Value Gap?
Before diving into the practical use of the Fair Value Gap in trading, it's crucial to have a clear understanding of what it is and how to identify it on your charts. The Fair Value Gap, or FVG , is a widely utilized tool among price action traders to detect market inefficiencies or imbalances. Sometimes you will even see them labeled as inefficiencies by other traders. These imbalances arise when buying or selling pressure is significant, resulting in a large upward or downward move, leaving behind an imbalance in the market.
The idea behind FVGs is that the market will eventually come back to these inefficiencies in the market before continuing in the same direction as the initial impulsive move. FVGs are important since traders can achieve an edge in the market. Price action traders can also use these imbalances as entry or exit points in the market.
By visually representing gaps and their profile, the Fair Value Gap (FVG) & Gap Profile indicator provides a historical overview of gaps within a specified lookback period, showing the distribution and density of gaps across different price levels. This insight helps traders identify zones where the price tends to move more fluidly, often encountering less resistance. High points on the Gap Profile indicate areas where gaps have occurred frequently in the past, which could serve as potential breakout or breakdown zones.
⦿ Key Features:
● Gap Detection and Visualization:
- Identifies Bullish and Bearish Gaps: Highlights gaps where the price moved significantly up or down along with a volume. Intensivity of color show strength of FVG by volume
- Filter for Significant Gaps: Allows users to filter out insignificant gaps, ensuring only relevant gaps are displayed.
● Customizable Display Options:
- Shows Filled Gaps: Option to display gaps that have been filled, aiding in the analysis of historical price movements.
- Displays Filled Gap Levels: Highlights the levels of filled gaps.
● Gap Profile:
Gap Profile Insight: The Gap Profile feature shows the distribution of gaps over a specified lookback period. High points on the FVG Profile indicate areas with a significant number of gaps in the past. These high points are signs of low resistance for price movement. Consequently, at these points, the price tends to move more easily without encountering strong resistance. Traders can use this information to identify potential breakout or breakdown zones where price action is likely to be more fluid.
● Grab Liquidity Detection:
- Collect liquidity Signals: Plots markers on the chart where price interacts with gap levels, providing potential trade signals based on liquidity.
⦿ How Traders Can Use This Indicator:
- Plan Trades: Use gaps as potential entry and exit points, based on whether the price is approaching, filling, or moving away from a gap.
- Analyze Market Trends: Understand historical price movements by analyzing filled gaps and their impact on current price action.
- Analyze Gap Profile: Identify zones where the price tends to move more fluidly, often encountering less resistance. High points on the Gap Profile indicate areas where gaps have occurred frequently in the past, which could serve as potential breakout or breakdown zones.
- Price imbalance: market will eventually come back to these inefficiencies and fill them. inefficiencies or imbalances in the market usually act as a magnet for price.
By incorporating the Fair Value Gap & Gap Profile indicator into their trading strategy, traders can gain a clearer understanding of market dynamics and make more informed trading decisions.
Trend Analysis
MACD [SMRT Algo]The SMRT Algo MACD is a refined version of the traditional Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator, designed to offer traders a smoother and more reliable trend-following tool. Unlike the standard MACD, which focuses on crossovers between the fast and slow moving averages, the SMRT Algo MACD emphasizes the histogram, minimizing the sensitivity to sudden price changes. This approach allows traders to stay in trades longer, capturing more of the trend and reducing the noise that can lead to premature exits.
Core Features:
Histogram Focused Analysis:
The SMRT Algo MACD does not display the fast and slow-moving averages or their crossovers. Instead, it focuses solely on the MACD histogram, which provides a clearer and more stable indication of trend direction and strength. By removing the emphasis on crossovers, the indicator reduces the impact of short-term price fluctuations, allowing traders to maintain their positions through minor market corrections.
Reduced Sensitivity to Price Fluctuations:
One of the standout features of the SMRT Algo MACD is its reduced sensitivity to sudden price changes. In traditional MACD indicators, the frequent crossovers and histogram shifts can often result in traders exiting positions too early during a trend. The SMRT Algo MACD addresses this issue by smoothing the histogram, leading to fewer and more significant changes. This reduction in sensitivity helps traders remain in their trades longer, capturing larger portions of sustained trends without being shaken out by temporary pullbacks.
Trend Continuation and Profit-Taking Signals:
The SMRT Algo MACD is also a valuable tool for identifying potential profit-taking areas. When the histogram changes color—from blue (bullish) to red (bearish), or vice versa—it can signal a potential area to consider taking profits. For instance, during a bullish trend, if the histogram shifts from blue to red, it might indicate that the uptrend is weakening, suggesting a possible exit point for long positions. Conversely, a change from red to blue during a bearish trend could signal a weakening downtrend, offering an opportunity to close short positions.
Staying in Trends Longer:
By minimizing the frequency of histogram changes and eliminating the fast/slow line crossovers, the SMRT Algo MACD helps traders stay in trends longer. This feature is particularly beneficial during trending markets, where the ability to maintain a position through minor corrections can significantly enhance overall profitability. Traders can confidently hold their trades, knowing that the indicator is designed to filter out the noise and focus on the broader trend direction.
The SMRT Algo MACD’s components work together to provide a more stable and reliable trend-following tool. The focus on the histogram reduces the impact of short-term fluctuations, while the reduced sensitivity ensures that traders can maintain their positions through market noise.
The indicator's ability to signal potential profit-taking areas based on histogram color changes adds another layer of utility, helping traders to maximize their gains while managing risk effectively.
Unlike traditional MACD indicators that can be overly sensitive to minor price changes, the SMRT Algo MACD provides a smoother, more reliable signal that helps traders stay in trends longer. This refinement is particularly valuable in volatile markets, where maintaining a position through temporary corrections can make a significant difference in overall profitability.
The focus on histogram analysis, combined with the elimination of fast/slow line crossovers, sets the SMRT Algo MACD apart from standard MACD tools. This approach not only reduces noise but also enhances the trader’s ability to capture extended trends, making it a powerful addition to any trading strategy. The inclusion of clear, actionable profit-taking signals based on histogram color changes further enhances the indicator's utility.
The SMRT Algo Suite, which the SMRT Algo MACD is a part of, offers a comprehensive set of tools and features that extend beyond the capabilities of standard or open-source indicators, providing significant additional value to users.
What you also get with the SMRT Algo Suite:
Advanced Customization: Users can customize various aspects of the indicator, such as toggling the confirmation signals on or off and adjusting the parameters of the MA Filter. This customization enhances the adaptability of the tool to different trading styles and market conditions.
Enhanced Market Understanding: The combination of pullback logic, dynamic S/R zones, and MA filtering offers traders a nuanced understanding of market dynamics, helping them make more informed trading decisions.
Unique Features: The specific combination of pullback logic, dynamic S/R, and multi-level TP/SL management is unique to SMRT Algo, offering features that are not readily available in standard or open-source indicators.
Educational and Support Resources: As with other tools in the SMRT Algo suite, this indicator comes with comprehensive educational resources and access to a supportive trading community, as well as 24/7 Discord support.

Jason's Simple Moving Averages WaveUnderstanding the Script:
Purpose: This script identifies potential trend direction and momentum using a moving average and wave amplitude calculation. It shows a green line when the price is trending upwards and a red line when trending downwards.
Strategy: This script doesn't provide a complete trading strategy. It's an indicator designed to be used alongside other tools.
Parameters: You can adjust the "Moving Average Length" input to change the sensitivity of the indicator. A shorter length will react quicker to price changes, while a longer length will be smoother but less responsive.
How to Use it:
Load the Script: In TradingView, navigate to the indicator creation section and paste the provided script code.
Adjust Parameters: Set the "Moving Average Length" based on your preferred timeframe and trading style.
Combine with Other Tools: Use the indicator along with other technical indicators or price action analysis to confirm potential entry and exit points for trades.
Here are some additional points to consider:
Crossovers: You could look for buy signals when the price crosses above the green line and sell signals when it crosses below the red line. However, these can be prone to false signals.
Divergence: Look for divergences between the price movement and the wave indicator. For example, a rising price with a falling wave could indicate overbought conditions and a potential reversal.
Confirmation: Don't rely solely on this indicator. Use it alongside other confirmations from price action, volume analysis, or other indicators to identify higher probability trades.
Important Note:
IMI and MFI CombinedFor a strategy using the combined IMI (Intraday Momentum Index), MFI (Money Flow Index), and Bollinger Bands on a 1-minute chart of Bank NIFTY (Bank Nifty Index), here's how you can interpret the indicators and define a sell signal strategy:
Strategy Explanation:
IMI (Intraday Momentum Index):
IMI measures the ratio of upward price changes to downward price changes over a specified period, indicating momentum.
In the script, IMI is plotted with a range from 0 to 100. Levels above 75 are considered overbought, and levels below 25 are oversold.
Strategy Condition: A sell signal can be considered when IMI is above 75, indicating a potentially overbought market condition.
MFI (Money Flow Index):
MFI measures the strength of money flowing in and out of a security, using price and volume.
In the script, MFI is plotted with levels at 80 (overbought) and 20 (oversold).
Strategy Condition: A sell signal can be considered when MFI is above 80, suggesting an overbought condition in the market.
Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands consist of a middle band (SMA) and upper/lower bands representing volatility levels around the price.
In the script, Bollinger Bands are plotted with a length of 20 and a standard deviation multiplier of 2.
Strategy Condition: While not explicitly used for generating sell signals in this script, Bollinger Bands can help confirm price volatility and potential reversals when combined with other indicators.
Sell Signal Criteria:
IMI Sell Signal: Look for instances where IMI rises above 75. This indicates that the recent upward price momentum may be reaching an unsustainable level, potentially signaling a reversal or a pullback in prices.
MFI Sell Signal: Look for MFI rising above 80. This suggests that the market has experienced strong buying pressure, possibly leading to an overbought condition where a price correction or reversal might occur.
Implementation Considerations:
Confirmation: Consider waiting for both IMI and MFI to confirm the overbought condition simultaneously before entering a sell trade. This can increase the reliability of the signal.
Risk Management: Use stop-loss orders to manage risk in case the market moves against the anticipated direction after the sell signal is triggered.
Timeframe: This strategy is tailored for a 1-minute chart, meaning signals should be interpreted and acted upon quickly due to the rapid nature of price movements in intraday trading.
By combining these indicators and interpreting their signals, you can develop a systematic approach to identifying potential sell opportunities in the Bank NIFTY index on a 1-minute timeframe. Adjustments to indicator parameters and additional technical analysis may further refine the strategy based on your trading preferences and risk tolerance.
Enhanced BOS Strategy with SL/TP and EMA TableDescription:
The Enhanced BOS (Break of Structure) Strategy is an advanced open-source trading indicator designed to identify key market structure changes, integrated with dynamic Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels, along with an informative EMA (Exponential Moving Average) table for added trend analysis.
Key Features:
Break of Structure (BOS) Detection:
The script detects bullish and bearish BOS by identifying pivot points using a custom pivot period. When the price crosses above or below these points, it signals a potential market trend reversal or continuation.
Dynamic SL/TP Levels:
Users can toggle static SL/TP settings, which automatically calculate levels based on user-defined points. These levels are visualized on the chart with dotted lines and labeled for clarity.
Volume Filters:
The strategy includes a volume condition filter to ensure that only trades within a specified volume range are considered. This helps in avoiding low-volume trades that might lead to false signals.
EMA Table Display:
An on-chart table displaying the current values of the 13-period, 50-period, and 200-period EMAs. This provides a quick reference for trend identification and confirmation, helping traders to stay aligned with the broader market trend.
How It Works:
The script utilizes a combination of moving averages and pivot points to identify potential breakouts or breakdowns in market structure. When a bullish BOS is detected, and the volume conditions are met, the strategy suggests a long position, marking potential SL/TP levels. Similarly, it suggests short positions for bearish BOS.
The EMA table serves as a visual aid, providing real-time updates of the EMA values, allowing traders to gauge the market’s directional bias quickly.
How to Use:
Setting Parameters:
Adjust the pivot period to fine-tune BOS detection according to your trading style and the asset’s volatility.
Configure the SL/TP settings based on your risk tolerance and target profit levels.
Interpreting Signals:
A “Buy” label on the chart indicates a bullish BOS with volume confirmation, signaling a potential long entry.
A “Sell” label indicates a bearish BOS with volume confirmation, signaling a potential short entry.
The EMA table aids in confirming these signals, where the position of the fast, mid, and slow EMAs can provide additional context to the trend’s strength and direction.
Volume Filtering:
Ensure your trades are filtered through the script’s volume condition, which allows for the exclusion of low-volume periods that might generate unreliable signals.
Unique Value:
Unlike many other BOS strategies, this script integrates volume conditions and a visual EMA table, providing a comprehensive toolkit for traders looking to capture market structure shifts while maintaining an eye on trend direction and trade execution precision.
Additional Information:
This script is designed for use on standard bar or candlestick charts for best results.
It is open-source and free to use, encouraging collaboration and improvement by the TradingView community.
By combining powerful trend-following EMAs with the precision of BOS detection and the safety of volume filtering, the Enhanced BOS Strategy offers a balanced approach to trading market structure changes.

Market Tick Trend by SyntaxGeekHello traders, today I'm pleased to provide another potential tool in reading one of the most powerful intraday indicators for scalpers et al, TICK .
This indicator, "Market Tick Trend", provides a simplified version of reading the movements of TICK compared to my other indicator Market Internal Trend aka "MIT" . It also makes use of cumulative measurements vs raw values (see more below).
TICK
If this is your first time hearing of TICK, simply know that it's a measurement of a massive collection of stocks in the market - a "breadth measurement". When speculating on index/etf or even stock movement it can be beneficial to know what the entire market is doing in price movement.
TICK, (and variants), are a measurement of the number of stocks that moved up a "tick" vs the number of stocks that moved down a tick. The result is a simple numerical value. For example, if there are 1000 stocks and 800 moved up a tick or more - that's typically a bullish indicator.
Market breadth measurements are broken up into various "markets", such as "NYSE" and "NASDAQ". Most of my indicators for market internals focus primarily on NYSE and occasionally NASDAQ, this indicator provides data for both via a selection in settings.
Usage
Select proper market based on trading product, my recommendation is to use NYSE for SPY and it's top holdings, and NASDAQ when trading QQQ and it's top holdings, tech companies, etc.
Check out bar coloring for a spin on the boring two color candle scheme and "see" the TICK bias directly on the chart.
Modes
If scalp trading where timing is paramount, I recommend keeping to mode one for the entry and exit bias guidance, use one or more additional modes to provide a broader bias to filter out potential lower probability signals. For longer intra-day trades perhaps watch mode three through five to filter out noise and fake outs.
Design
There are a couple schools of thought when using TICK, some are interested in the cumulative value and some are more interested in "at the moment" values and movement (where I spend much of my time).
MTT aims to facilitate a useful data display for all audiences and trade styles, it also simplifies TICKs usage and strips away much of the noise and brain power required to analyze minutiae when decisions may need to take place.
Cumulative measurements are taken and then trending routines are enacted to present the data displayed, the lower the mode the more sensitive to recent data.
Uniqueness
I believe this indicator to be a unique offering to TradingView, while there are a handful of TICK related indicators (some are mine) - none of them implement the features I've provided in MTT.
Warnings
This indicator is designed for intraday use only and meant to be a guide in market breadth bias - not a signal generator for trades, what you do with this you do at your own risk and you'll most likely lose all your money :)
With the above being said, I've only tested this indicator on a handful of lower timeframes, nothing higher than 30 minute and can't guarantee anything beyond that will be useful.
For those trading non-US markets, or trading futures products during extended hours, I'm sorry to inform that market breadth data (such as TICK) is simply not available to the markets at that time and this indicator will provide zero usage.
To the best of my knowledge there is no repainting here, but you may see warnings if setting alerts due to the nature of using certain PineScript features. Also the data providers of course could change historical data and that's simply out of my control.
Happy trading!
Custom Opening Price Levels (PO3)This indicator is designed to assist the trader in identifying the Power of Three through the opens of the candles.
-------------------------
The PO3 is a concept introduced by ICT. First, you need to have a directional bias for the month or the specific candle in question. It should be of high time frame (HTF BIAS).
At the open of the specific candle, the market will generate interest in the direction opposite to the HTF BIAS, accumulating positions. It will then manipulate the positions of less informed traders to generate the necessary liquidity to fill informed operators positions.
Finally, positions are distributed in favor of the bias.
-------------------------
The PO3 is a phenomenon that repeats across all timeframes. This indicator is highly customizable and allows the user to choose from a range of timeframes: 3 months, 1 month, 1 week, 1 day, and 3 hours. The indicator displays the last 3 opens for the selected period.
-------------------------
The script is open-source, so feel free to add more timeframes or open levels if you have coding skills.
ka66: Bar Range BandsThis tool takes a bar's range, and reflects it above the high and below the low of that bar, drawing upper and lower bands around the bar. Repeated for each bar. There's an option to then multiply that range by some multiple. Use a value greater than 1 to get wider bands, and less than one to get narrower bands.
This tool stems out of my frustration from the use of dynamic bands (like Keltner Channels, or Bollinger Bands), in particular for estimating take profit points.
Dynamic bands work great for entries and stop loss, but their dynamism is less useful for a future event like taking profit, in my experience. We can use a smaller multiple, but then we can often lose out on a bigger chunk of gains unnecessarily.
The inspiration for this came from a friend explaining an ICT/SMC concept around estimating the magnitude of a trend, by calculating the Asian Session Range, and reflecting it above or below on to the New York and London sessions. He described this as standard deviation of the Asian Range, where the range can thus be multiplied by some multiple for a wider or narrower deviation.
This, in turn, also reminded me of the Measured Move concept in Technical Analysis. We then consider that the market is fractal in nature, and this is why patterns persist in most timeframes. Traders exist across the spectrum of timeframes. Thus, a single bar on a timeframe, is made up of multiple bars on a lower timeframe . In other words, when we reflect a bar's range above or below itself, in the event that in a lower timeframe, that bar fit a pattern whose take profit target could be estimated via a Measured Move , then the band's value becomes a more valid estimate of a take profit point .
Yet another way to think about it, by way of the fractal nature above, is that it is essentially a simplified dynamic support and resistance mechanism , even simpler than say the various Pivot calculations (e.g. Classical, Camarilla, etc.).
This tool in general, can also be used by those who manually backtest setups (and certainly can be used in an automated setting too!). It is a research tool in that regard, applicable to various setups.
One of the pitfalls of manual backtesting is that it requires more discipline to really determine an exit point, because it's easy to say "oh, I'll know more or less where to exit when I go live, I just want to see that the entry tends to work". From experience, this is a bad idea, because our mind subconsciously knows that we haven't got a trained reflex on where to exit. The setup may be decent, but without an exit point, we will never have truly embraced and internalised trading it. Again, I speak from experience!
Thus, to use this to research take profit/exit points:
Have a setup in mind, with all the entry rules.
Plot your setup's indicators, mark your signals.
Use this indicator to get an idea of where to exit after taking an entry based on your signal.

Price & Volume Breakout Fibonacci Probability [TradeDots]📝 OVERVIEW
The "Price & Volume Breakout Fibonacci Probability" indicator is designed to detect the probability of the maximum run-up and drawdown of each breakout trade on an asset, assisting traders in optimizing their take profit and stop loss strategies.
🧮 CALCULATIONS
The algorithm detects price and volume breakouts to activate the Fibonacci levels displayed on the chart. It calculates these levels using the period pivot high and low, with the close price of the breakout bar as the reference price.
The indicator then forward-tests within an user-selected number of bars, detecting the maximum run-up and drawdown during that period. Consequently, it calculates the probability of the price hitting either side of the Fibonacci levels, showing the likelihood of reaching take profit and stop loss targets for each breakout trade.
📊 EXAMPLE
The above example shows two breakout trades, circled within the yellow rectangle zone.
The first trade has a maximum run-up above the +0.382 Fibonacci level zone and a maximum drawdown below the -0.618 Fibonacci level zone.
When the price reaches the maximum run-up, it only has a ~45% probability of moving further upward into the last two zones (25% + 19.44%). This indicates that setting a take profit at a higher level may have less than a 50% chance of success.
Conversely, when the price reaches its maximum drawdown, there is only an ~8% probability of moving further downward into the last drawdown zone. This could indicate a potential reversal.
⚙️ SETTINGS
Breakout Condition: Determines the type of breakout condition to track: "Price", "Volume", "Price & Volume".
Backtest Period: The maximum run-up and drawdown are detected within this bar period.
Price Breakout Period: Specifies the number of bars the price needs to break out from.
Volume Breakout Period: Specifies the number of bars the volume needs to break out from.
Trendline Confirmation: Confirms that the close price needs to be above the trendline.
📈 HOW TO USE
By understanding the probabilities of price movements to both the upside and downside, traders can set take profit and stop loss targets with greater accuracy.
For instance, placing a stop loss order below the zone with the highest probability minimizes the chances of being stopped out of a profitable trade. Conversely, setting a take profit target at the zone with the highest probability increases the win rate.
Additionally, if the price breaches multiple Fibonacci levels during the breakout period, it may indicate an abnormal state, signaling a potential reversal or pullback. This can help traders exit trades in a timely manner.
Traders can adjust their take profit and stop loss levels based on their individual risk tolerance.

FCNC SpreadTitle: FCNC Spread Indicator
Description:
The FCNC Spread Indicator is designed to help traders analyze the price difference (spread) between two futures contracts: the front contract and the next contract. This type of analysis is commonly used in futures trading to identify market sentiment, arbitrage opportunities, and potential roll yield strategies.
How It Works:
Front Contract: The front contract represents the futures contract closest to expiration, often referred to as the near-month contract.
Next Contract: The next contract is the futures contract that follows the front contract in the expiration cycle, typically the next available month.
Spread Calculation: frontContract - nextContract represents the difference between the price of the front contract and the next contract.
Positive Spread: A positive value means that the front contract is more expensive than the next contract, indicating backwardation.
Negative Spread: A negative value means that the front contract is cheaper than the next contract, indicating contango.
How to Use:
Input Selection: Select your desired futures contracts for the front and next contract through the input settings. The script will fetch and calculate the closing prices of these contracts.
Spread Plotting: The calculated spread is plotted on the chart, with color-coding based on the spread's value (green for positive, red for negative).
Labeling: The spread value is dynamically labeled on the chart for quick reference.
Moving Average: A 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the spread is also plotted to help identify trends and smooth out fluctuations.
Applications:
Trend Identification: Analyze the spread to determine market sentiment and potential trend reversals.
Divergence Detection: Look for divergences between the spread and the underlying market to identify possible shifts in trend or market sentiment. Divergences can signal upcoming reversals or provide early warning signs of a change in market dynamics.
This indicator is particularly useful for futures traders who are looking to gain insights into the market structure and to exploit differences in contract pricing. By providing a clear visualization of the spread between two key futures contracts, traders can make more informed decisions about their trading strategies.
Cumulative Delta [TradingFinder] Volume + Periodic + EMA🔵 Introduction
To fully grasp the concept of Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), it's essential first to understand Volume Delta. In trading and technical analysis, the term "Delta" typically refers to the difference between two values or the rate of change between two data points.
Volume Delta represents the difference between buying and selling pressure, calculated for each candlestick on a chart. This difference can vary across different timeframes.
A positive delta indicates that buying volume exceeds selling volume, while a negative delta shows that selling volume is greater. When buying and selling volumes are equal, the volume delta equals zero.
🟣 What is Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)?
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is a powerful tool in technical analysis that aggregates delta values for each candlestick, creating a comprehensive indicator that helps traders assess market trends.
Unlike the standard Volume Delta, which compares delta on a candle-by-candle basis, CVD provides insight into the overall buying and selling pressure during key market swings. A downward-trending CVD suggests that selling pressure is dominating, which is typically a bearish signal.
Conversely, an upward-trending CVD indicates bullish sentiment. This analysis becomes even more significant when comparing CVD with price action and market structure, helping traders to predict asset price directions.
By evaluating market highs and lows, one can determine the market trend. A consistent rise in these points indicates an uptrend, while a consistent fall suggests a downtrend.
🔵 How to Use
Understanding how to detect trend changes using Cumulative Volume Delta is crucial for traders. Typically, CVD aligns with market structure, moving in the same direction as price trends.
However, divergences between CVD and price trends or signs of exhaustion in volume can be powerful indicators of potential market reversals. Recognizing these patterns can help traders make informed decisions and improve their trading strategies.
🟣 Identifying Trend Exhaustion with Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)
The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicator is especially effective in identifying weakening trends in the market. For instance, if gold's price hits a new low, but CVD does not follow suit, this may indicate a lack of seller interest despite the new low, signaling potential seller exhaustion.
Most traders interpret this as a possible reversal from a bearish to a bullish trend. Similarly, if gold reaches a new high but CVD fails to do the same, it can suggest that buyers lack the strength to push the market higher, indicating a possible trend reversal.
🟣 Utilizing Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Divergence in Price Trend Analysis
Another effective use of CVD is identifying divergences in price trends. For example, if CVD breaks a previous high or low while the price remains stable, this divergence often indicates that buying or selling pressure is being absorbed.
For instance, if CVD rises sharply without a corresponding increase in gold prices, it may suggest that sellers are absorbing the buying pressure, potentially leading to a strong sell-off. Conversely, if gold prices remain stable while CVD declines, it could indicate that buyers are absorbing selling pressure, likely leading to a price increase once selling subsides.
🔵 Setting
Cumulative Mode : It has three modes "Total", "Periodic" and "EMA". In "Total" mode, it collects the volume from the beginning to the end. In "Periodic" mode, it accumulates the volume periodically and in "EMA" mode, it calculates the moving average of the volume.
Period : You can set the period of " Periodic " and " EMA " modes.
Market Ultra Data : If you turn on this feature, 26 large brokers will be included in the calculation of the trading volume.
The advantage of this capability is to have more reliable volume data. You should be careful to specify the market you are in, FOREX brokers and Crypto brokers are different.
🔵 Conclusion
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is a powerful analytical tool in financial markets that helps analysts and traders assess buying and selling pressure by aggregating and combining the volume delta for each candlestick.
CVD can indicate the strength or weakness of a market trend. When CVD moves upward, it signals that buying pressure is dominant and is considered a bullish signal; conversely, a downward movement in CVD indicates that selling pressure is stronger and is viewed as a bearish signal.
This indicator is particularly effective in identifying divergences and exhaustion in market trends. For example, if CVD does not align with price movements, it may suggest a potential trend reversal.
Traders use this information to make more informed trading decisions, especially when identifying entry and exit points in the market.
Overall, CVD is a tool that enables analysts to better understand market fluctuations and more accurately predict future market trends.
Double SuperTrend [CrossTrade]The Double SuperTrend indicator enhances the classic SuperTrend indicator's functionality by filtering out countertrend signals and keeping you out of chop. By adding another larger trend filter, it helps to keep you taking trades in the direction of the major trend. This dual analysis allows users to identify and trade in the direction of the major trend, thereby increasing the likelihood of successful trades.
Adjustable Parameters for Minor and Major Trends:
Users can customize both the major and minor trends according to their trading strategy. This includes adjusting the ATR (Average True Range) period and the ATR multiplier for each trend.
For the minor trend, the default ATR period is set at 10, and the multiplier at 3.0.
For the major trend, the ATR period defaults to 14, with a multiplier of 6.0.
These settings allow traders to tailor the sensitivity of the trends to their specific market view or strategy.
Source Selection:
Users can select the data source (such as high/low, open/close) that the SuperTrend calculations are based on, offering further customization.
Signal Visualization and Customization:
It plots the major and minor trend lines, with options to display buy/sell signals. These signals are only shown when they align with the major trend, reducing the likelihood of false signals.
The minor trend signals are displayed in green (for uptrends) and red (for downtrends), while the major trend lines are shown in blue (for uptrends) and purple (for downtrends).
Additionally, users can choose to display or hide these buy/sell signals.
Custom Alerts:
The indicator includes the functionality to set custom alerts for buy and sell signals. These alerts are specifically designed to notify users when a signal aligns with the confirmed major trend.
FVG Price & Volume Graph [LuxAlgo]The FVG Price & Volume Graph tool plot recently detected fair value gaps relative to the volume traded within their area during their formation. This allows us to effectively visualize significant fair value gaps caused by high liquidity.
The indicator also returns levels from the fair value gaps areas average with the highest associated volume.
Do note that the indicator can consider the chart's visible range when being computed, which will recalculate the indicator when the chart's visible range changes.
🔶 USAGE
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) are core price action concepts occurring when the disparity between supply and demand is significant. Price has a tendency to come back to those areas and mitigating them, that is filling them.
The provided tools allow for effective visualization of both FVG's area's height as well as the volume originating from their creation, which is defined by the total traded volume located within the FVG during its creation. FVG's with more associated volume are displayed to the rightmost of the chart.
Users can determine the amount of most recent FVG's to display from the "Display Amount" setting. Disabling the "Consider Mitigation" setting will return mitigated FVGs in the plot, which can be useful to know where most FVGs were located.
We can use the area average of the FVGs with the most associated volume as potential support/resistance levels. Users can extend more FVG's averages by increasing the "Highest Volume Averages" setting.
🔹 Visualizing Volume/Price Relationships of FVG's
A linear regression is fit between FVG's areas average and their associated volume, with this linear regression helping us see where FVG's with specific volume might be located in the future based on existing FVG's.
Note that FVG's do not tend to exhibit linear relationships with their associated volume, the provided linear regression can give a general sense of tendency, but nothing necessarily accurate.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Intrabar Data TF
Given a formation of three candles causing an FVG, the volume traded within that FVG area is obtained by looking at the lower timeframe intrabar candles located within the intermediary candle of the formation. The volume of the intrabar candles located within the FVG areas is added up to obtain the associated volume of the FVG.
Using a lower "Intrabar Data TF" allows obtaining more precise volume results, at the cost of computation time and data availability (if there is a high difference between the "Intrabar Data TF" and the chart TF then less FVG can have their associated volume calculated due to Tradingview limitations).
🔹 Display
Users have access to multiple graphical settings affecting how the indicator is displayed.
The "Graph Resolution" setting determines the length of the X axis, with higher values returning more precise results on the location of FVGs over the X axis. Users can also control the number of labels displayed on the X-axis using the numerical input to the right of "Show X-Axis Labels".
Additionally, users can color FVG areas using a gradient relative to the size of the area, or the volume associated with the FVG.
🔶 SETTINGS
Display Amount: Amount of most recent FVGs to display.
Highest Volume Averages: Amount of FVG averages levels with the highest volume to display and extend.
Consider Mitigation: Only display unmitigated FVGs.
Filter FVGs Outside Visible Range: Only display FVGs areas that are located within the user chart visible range.
Intrabar Data TF: Timeframe used to obtain intrabar data. Should be lower than the user chart timeframe.
Swing Points [CrossTrade]The "Swing Points" indicator is designed to help identify key swing points, trends, and potential support and resistance areas on a trading chart. This indicator overlays on the price chart and offers several features for enhanced market analysis.
Swing Point Identification: The indicator identifies swing highs and lows (pivot points) over a user-defined period. These points are crucial in understanding market reversals and momentum.
Swing Points Display: Users have the option to visually display these pivot points on the chart. Swing highs are marked with a red "H" above the bar, and swing lows with a green "L" below the bar, aiding in quick visual identification.
Center Line Calculation and Display: A dynamic center line is calculated using the pivot points, providing a baseline that adapts to market movements. The center line's appearance changes based on its position relative to the current price, making it a useful trend indicator.
Support and Resistance Levels: The indicator plots horizontal support and resistance lines based on the swing lows and highs, respectively. This feature helps traders identify potential areas of price consolidation or breakout.
Customization Options: Users can customize the period for swing point calculation and choose whether to display the pivot points, center line, and support/resistance levels.
Alert Features
Swing High Break Alert: An alert is triggered when a new swing high is detected, signaling a potential upward momentum shift.
Swing Low Break Alert: This alert activates when a new swing low is formed, possibly indicating a downward momentum shift.
Center Line Trend Color Change Alert: Alerts users when the center line changes its trend color, which could signify a change in overall market trend direction.
Uptrick: Momentum Channel Indicator
### 🌟 **Uptrick: Momentum Channel Indicator (MC_Ind)** 🌟
The **"Uptrick: Momentum Channel Indicator"** is a powerful tool designed to help traders gauge market momentum and identify potential overbought or oversold conditions. Whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, this indicator can be your compass 🧭 in the complex world of trading.
### 🎯 **Purpose of the Indicator**
The primary goal of the **Momentum Channel Indicator** is to measure the deviation of price from its moving average (the mid-point) and to smooth this deviation to identify momentum shifts. By plotting overbought and oversold levels, the indicator helps traders spot potential reversal points where the market might change direction, offering valuable entry or exit signals.
### 🔧 **Inputs & Parameters**
Let's break down the input parameters that you can adjust to tailor the indicator to your trading style:
1. **`length1` (Channel Length) 📏**: This is the period over which the moving average (mid-point) and price deviation are calculated. The default value is 14, meaning the last 14 bars are considered for calculations.
2. **`length2` (Smoothing Length) 🧘**: This parameter controls the smoothing of the channel index, with a default value of 28. The higher the value, the smoother the momentum line, reducing noise and making trends more visible.
3. **`overbought1` & `overbought2` (Overbought Levels) 🔴**: These levels, set at 70 and 65 by default, represent the threshold above which the market is considered overbought, potentially signaling a selling opportunity.
4. **`oversold1` & `oversold2` (Oversold Levels) 🟢**: Similarly, these levels, set at -70 and -65, mark the threshold below which the market is considered oversold, indicating a potential buying opportunity.
### 🛠️ **How the Indicator Works**
Now, let's dive into the mechanics of the Momentum Channel Indicator:
1. **Mid-Point Calculation 🏁**: The mid-point is calculated using a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing prices over the `length1` period. This mid-point acts as a reference line from which deviations are measured.
2. **Price Deviation 📊**: The price deviation is the absolute difference between the closing price and the mid-point, smoothed over the same period (`length1`). This represents the typical price movement away from the mid-point.
3. **Channel Index 📉**: The channel index is calculated by dividing the price deviation by a fraction (0.01) of the mid-point, providing a normalized measure of how far the price has deviated from the average.
4. **Smoothing of the Channel Index 🌊**: The smoothed index (`mci1`) is calculated by applying a smoothing filter (SMA) over the channel index using the `length2` parameter. This helps reduce noise and highlight the true momentum of the market.
5. **Momentum Lines 📈**:
- **`mci1`**: The main momentum line, representing the smoothed channel index.
- **`mci2`**: A secondary momentum line, which is a further smoothed version of `mci1` using a 6-period SMA.
6. **Signal Lines 🚦**:
- **Overbought & Oversold Levels**: Horizontal lines plotted at `overbought1`, `overbought2`, `oversold1`, and `oversold2` levels serve as visual cues for overbought and oversold conditions.
- **Zero Line**: A central reference line at 0, indicating neutral momentum.
### 📈 **How to Use the Indicator**
#### 1. **Day Traders ⚡**
For day traders, the Momentum Channel Indicator can be a quick signal generator for short-term trades. Here's how you can use it:
- **Identify Entry Points 🎯**: Look for a **bullish crossover** when `mci1` crosses above `mci2` from below the `oversold1` level. This signals a potential upward reversal.
- **Spot Exit Points 🏁**: Watch for a **bearish crossunder** when `mci1` crosses below `mci2` from above the `overbought1` level. This could indicate a downward reversal.
- **Scalping 🔄**: In a fast-moving market, use the indicator to scalp by entering and exiting trades at these crossover points, with a tight stop-loss strategy.
#### 2. **Swing Traders 🎢**
Swing traders benefit from using the Momentum Channel Indicator to identify potential reversal points over a longer period:
- **Trend Confirmation 📊**: Use the smoothing effect of `mci2` to confirm trends. If `mci2` remains consistently above 0, it indicates a strong bullish trend, and vice versa.
- **Overbought/Oversold Reversals 🚀**: Enter trades when the price approaches the overbought or oversold levels (`overbought1`, `oversold1`). Combine this with other indicators, such as RSI, for more reliable signals.
- **Hold Positions 🧗**: Let the momentum lines guide your hold strategy. If the momentum lines stay aligned (both `mci1` and `mci2` are moving in the same direction), consider holding the position until a crossover or reversal signal appears.
#### 3. **Long-Term Investors 🏦**
For long-term investors, the Momentum Channel Indicator helps in fine-tuning entry and exit points based on broader market momentum:
- **Divergence Analysis 📐**: Look for divergence between the price and the momentum lines. If the price makes new highs but the momentum lines do not, it could signal a weakening trend and a potential reversal.
- **Strategic Entry/Exit 🏹**: Use the `overbought2` and `oversold2` levels to strategically enter or exit positions. These secondary levels provide an early warning before the market reaches extreme conditions.
- **Risk Management 🛡️**: The indicator can also be used as part of a risk management strategy by identifying when to reduce exposure in overbought markets or increase exposure in oversold markets.
### 🖼️ **Visualization & Interpretation**
The Momentum Channel Indicator is visually intuitive, with each component providing key insights:
1. **Momentum Lines (MCI1 & MCI2) 📈**:
- **Blue Line (`mci1`)**: Represents the main momentum line, providing immediate insights into market direction.
- **Orange Line (`mci2`)**: A secondary momentum line, further smoothed to confirm trends.
2. **Overbought/Oversold Levels 🔴🟢**:
- **Solid & Dashed Lines**: These lines highlight overbought and oversold regions, guiding traders on when to consider entering or exiting trades.
3. **MCI Difference (Purple Area) 🌌**:
- **Shaded Area**: The difference between `mci1` and `mci2`, shaded in purple, helps visualize the strength of the momentum. The larger the shaded area, the stronger the momentum.
### 🚀 **Advanced Tips & Tricks**
For those looking to maximize the potential of the Momentum Channel Indicator, here are some advanced strategies:
1. **Combine with Volume Indicators 📊**: Use volume indicators like OBV (On-Balance Volume) or Volume Oscillator to confirm momentum signals. For instance, a bullish crossover combined with increasing volume can reinforce a buy signal.
2. **Multiple Timeframe Analysis 🕒**: Apply the Momentum Channel Indicator across multiple timeframes (e.g., daily and weekly) to get a more comprehensive view of the market. This can help in aligning short-term trades with long-term trends.
3. **Adjusting Parameters 🔄**: Depending on market conditions, tweak the `length1` and `length2` parameters. In a highly volatile market, shorter lengths might provide quicker signals, whereas in a stable market, longer lengths could smooth out noise.
4. **Divergence & Convergence 📐**: Watch for divergence between price and momentum lines as a leading indicator of potential reversals. Convergence (when the price and momentum move in sync) can confirm the strength of the trend.

Gaussian Kernel Smoothing EMAGaussian Kernel Smoothing EMA
The Gaussian Kernel Smoothing EMA integrates the exponential moving average with kernel smoothing techniques to refine the trend tool. Kernel smoothing is a non-parametric technique used to estimate a smooth curve from a set of data points. It is particularly useful in reducing noise and capturing the underlying structure of data. The smoothed value at each point is calculated as a weighted average of neighboring points, with the weights determined by a kernel function.
The Gaussian kernel is a popular choice in kernel smoothing due to its properties of being smooth, symmetric, and having infinite support. This function gives higher weights to data points closer to the target point and lower weights to those further away, resulting in a smooth and continuous estimate. Since price isn't normally distributed a logarithmic transformation is performed to remove most of its skewness to be able to fit the Gaussian kernel.
This indicator also has a bandwidth, which in kernel smoothing controls the width of the window over which the smoothing is performed. It determines how much influence nearby data points have on the smoothed value. In this indicator, the bandwidth is dynamically adjusted based on the standard deviation of the log-transformed prices so that the smoothing adapts to the underlying variability and potential volatility.
Bandwidth Factor: The bandwidth factor in this indicator is used to adjust the degree of the smoothing applied to the MA. In kernel smoothing, Bandwidth controls the width of the window over which the smoothing is applied. It determines how many data points around a central point are considered when calculating a smooth value. A smaller bandwidth results in less smoothing, while a larger bandwidth smooths out more noise, leading to a broader, more general trend.
