Hindsight TrendNon-realtime but highly accurate trend analyzer with only one fundamental parameter ( period aka "minimum trend length")
Basically Hindsight Trend is pivot points on steroids (handles many cases much better). Plus it shows the trend line.
Period
I usually like periods of 10, 20 or 30.
The indicator's delay is identical to the chosen period.
You can actually try a low period like 4 or 5 to get something resembling a realtime indicator.
Uptrends are based on candle lows, downtrends are based on candle highs. So it is possible to have an uptrend and a downtrend at the same time.
Triangles
At trend start, a triangle is drawn. (Trendline isn't always there if the trend didn't last that long.)
Triangle size shows how long the high or low that started the trend remained unbroken. E.g. with period 20: Small triangle = 20+ candles, medium triangle = 40+ candles, big triangle = 80+ candles. So a big triangle marks an important reversal point.
How Hindsight Trend works
Whenever a candle completes, its high and low are saved as potentially "notable" points. A high or low is the more notable the longer it stays unbroken (= not touched again by price).
Now we simply take the notable highs and lows (as in, staying unbroken at least for the user-selected period)... and connect them together - if they are close enough to each other (less than "period" candles away). And decorate the first point in each trend with a triangle.
We only know whether a point is notable after "period" more candles have printed, so that's where the indicator's delay comes from.
Finally we divide the period by 2 and look at highs and lows which are unbroken for that shorter time. While they are not fully "notable" as defined above, we'll call them "semi-notable". Those points are only considered at the end of a trend, and help us extend the trend line a bit further.

Fisher ForLoop [InvestorUnknown]Overview
The Fisher ForLoop indicator is designed to apply the Fisher Transform over a range of lengths and signal modes. It calculates an array of Fisher values, averages them, and then applies an EMA to these values to derive a trend signal. This indicator can be customized with various settings to suit different trading strategies.
User Inputs
Start Length (a): The initial length for the Fisher Transform calculation (inclusive).
End Length (b): The final length for the Fisher Transform calculation (inclusive).
EMA Length (c): The length of the EMA applied to the average Fisher values.
Calculation Source (s): The price source used for calculations (e.g., ohlc4).
Signal Calculation
Signal Mode (sigmode): Determines the type of signal generated by the indicator. Options are "Fast", "Slow", "Thresholds Crossing", and "Fast Threshold".
1. Slow: is a simple crossing of the midline (0).
2. Fast: positive signal depends if the current Fisher EMA is above Fisher EMA or above 0.99, otherwise the signal is negative.
3. Thresholds Crossing: simple ta.crossover and ta.crossunder of the user defined threshold for Long and Short.
4. Fast Threshold: signal changes if the value of Fisher EMA changes by more than user defined threshold against the current signal
// Determine the color based on the EMA value
// If EMA is greater than 0, use the bullish color, otherwise use the bearish color
col1 = EMA > 0 ? colup : coldn
// Determine the color based on the EMA trend
// If the current EMA is greater than the previous EMA or greater than 0.99, use the bullish color, otherwise use the bearish color
col2 = EMA > EMA or EMA > 0.99 ? colup : coldn
// Initialize a variable for the color based on threshold crossings
var color col3 = na
// If the EMA crosses over the long threshold, set the color to bullish
if ta.crossover(EMA, longth)
col3 := colup
// If the EMA crosses under the short threshold, set the color to bearish
if ta.crossunder(EMA, shortth)
col3 := coldn
// Initialize a variable for the color based on fast threshold changes
var color col4 = na
// If the EMA increases by more than the fast threshold, set the color to bullish
if (EMA > EMA + fastth)
col4 := colup
// If the EMA decreases by more than the fast threshold, set the color to bearish
if (EMA < EMA - fastth)
col4 := coldn
// Initialize the final color variable
color col = na
// Set the color based on the selected signal mode
if sigmode == "Slow"
col := col1 // Use slow mode color
if sigmode == "Fast"
col := col2 // Use fast mode color
if sigmode == "Thresholds Crossing"
col := col3 // Use thresholds crossing color
if sigmode == "Fast Threshold"
col := col4 // Use fast threshold color
else
na // If no valid signal mode is selected, set color to na
Visualization Settings
Bull Color (colup): The color used to indicate bullish signals.
Bear Color (coldn): The color used to indicate bearish signals.
Color Bars (barcol): Option to color the bars based on the signal.
Custom Function: FisherForLoop
This function calculates an array of Fisher values over a specified range of lengths (from a to b). It then computes the average of these values and applies an EMA to derive the final trend signal.
// Function to calculate an array of Fisher values over a range of lengths
FisherForLoop(a, b, c, s) =>
// Initialize an array to store Fisher values for each length
var FisherArray = array.new_float(b - a + 1, 0.0)
// Loop through each length from 'a' to 'b'
for x = 0 to (b - a)
// Calculate the current length
len = a + x
// Calculate the highest and lowest values over the current length
high_ = ta.highest(s, len)
low_ = ta.lowest(s, len)
// Initialize the value variable
value = 0.0
// Update the value using the Fisher Transform formula
// The formula normalizes the price to a range between -0.5 and 0.5, then smooths it
value := .66 * ((s - low_) / (high_ - low_) - .5) + .67 * nz(value )
// Clamp the value to be within -0.999 to 0.999 to avoid math errors
val = value > .99 ? .999 : value < -.99 ? -.999 : value
// Initialize the fish1 variable
fish1 = 0.0
// Apply the Fisher Transform to the normalized value
// This converts the value to a Fisher value, which emphasizes extreme changes in price
fish1 := .5 * math.log((1 + val) / (1 - val)) + .5 * nz(fish1 )
// Store the previous Fisher value for comparison
fish2 = fish1
// Determine the trend based on the Fisher values
// If the current Fisher value is greater than the previous, the trend is up (1)
// Otherwise, the trend is down (-1)
trend = fish1 > fish2 ? 1 : -1
// Store the trend in the FisherArray at the current index
array.set(FisherArray, x, trend)
// Calculate the average of the FisherArray
Avg = array.avg(FisherArray)
// Apply an EMA to the average Fisher values to smooth the result
EMA = ta.ema(Avg, c)
// Return the FisherArray, the average, and the EMA
// Call the FisherForLoop function with the user-defined inputs
= FisherForLoop(a, b, c, s)
Important Considerations
Speed: This indicator is very fast and can provide rapid signals for potential entries. However, this speed also means it may generate false signals if used in isolation.
Complementary Use: It is recommended to use this indicator in conjunction with other indicators and analysis methods to confirm signals and enhance the reliability of your trading strategy.
Strength: The main strength of the Fisher ForLoop indicator is its ability to identify very fast entries and prevent entries against the current (short-term) market trend.
This indicator is useful for identifying trends and potential reversal points in the market, providing flexibility through its customizable settings. However, due to its sensitivity and speed, it should be used as part of a broader trading strategy rather than as a standalone tool.
Propulsion Blocks | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Propulsion Blocks indicator! This new indicator can find & render ICT's propulsion blocks in the current ticker. It's highly customizable with detection, invalidation and style settings. For more information, please visit the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Features of the new Propulsion Blocks indicator :
Render Bullish & Bearish Propulsion Blocks
Customizable Algorithm
Enable / Disable Historic Zones
Visual Customizability
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Order blocks occur when there is a high amount of market orders exist on a price range. It is possible to find order blocks using specific formations on the chart. One of which this indicator uses requires a large engulfing candlestick right after another one of the opposite direction. Then if the price comes back to retest the area that two candlesticks create, then it's an order block pattern.
Propulsion blocks are a specific type of order block used in the trading methodology. They build on the concept of order blocks and aim to identify potential areas for strong price movements. They are detected when a candlestick wicks to any existing order block, retesting it. Then a strong momentum in the direction of the order block is needed for the propulsion block to get created. Check this example :
You can use them as entry / exit points, or for confirmations for your trades. For example, a successful retest attempt to a bullish propulsion block might hint a strong bullish momentum. This indicator works best when used together with other ICT concepts.
🚩UNIQUENESS
Propulsion blocks can help traders identify key levels in a chart, and can be used mainly for confirmation. This indicator can identify and show them automatically in your chart, and provides customization settings for order & propulsion block detection and invalidation. Another capability of the indicator is that it combines overlapping order & propulsion blocks so you will have a clean look at the chart without any overlapping zones.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Show Historic Zones -> This setting will hide invalidated propulsion blocks if enabled.
Max Distance To Last Bar -> This setting defines the maximum range that the indicator will find propulsion blocks to the past. Higher options will make older zones visible.
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for Order Block & Propulsion Block Invalidation.
Swing Length -> Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order blocks.
ADX with Donchian Channels
The "ADX with Donchian Channels" indicator combines the Average Directional Index (ADX) with Donchian Channels to provide traders with a powerful tool for identifying trends and potential breakouts.
Features:
Average Directional Index (ADX):
The ADX is used to quantify the strength of a trend. It helps traders determine whether a market is trending or ranging.
Adjustable parameters for ADX smoothing and DI length allow traders to fine-tune the sensitivity of the trend strength measurement.
Donchian Channels on ADX:
Donchian Channels are applied directly to the ADX values to highlight the highest high and lowest low of the ADX over a specified period.
The upper and lower Donchian Channels can signal potential trend breakouts when the ADX value moves outside these bounds.
The middle Donchian Channel provides a reference for the average trend strength.
Visualization:
The indicator plots the ADX line in red to clearly display the trend strength.
The upper and lower Donchian Channels are plotted in blue, with a green middle line to represent the average.
The area between the upper and lower Donchian Channels is filled with a blue shade to visually emphasize the range of ADX values.
Default Settings for Scalping:
Donchian Channel Length: 10
Standard Deviation Multiplier: 1.58
ADX Length: 2
ADX Smoothing Length: 2
These default settings are optimized for scalping, offering a quick response to changes in trend strength and potential breakout signals. However, traders can adjust these settings to suit different trading styles and market conditions.
How to Use:
Trend Strength Identification: Use the ADX line to identify the strength of the current trend. Higher ADX values indicate stronger trends.
Breakout Signals: Monitor the ADX value in relation to the Donchian Channels. A breakout above the upper channel or below the lower channel can signal a potential trend continuation or reversal.
Range Identification: The filled area between the Donchian Channels provides a visual representation of the ADX range, helping traders identify when the market is ranging or trending.
This indicator is designed to enhance your trading strategy by combining trend strength measurement with breakout signals, making it a versatile tool for various market conditions.
Fibonacci Period Range [UkutaLabs]█ OVERVIEW
The Fibonacci Period Range Indicator is a powerful trading tool that draws levels of support and resistance that are based on key Fibonacci levels. The script will identify the high and low of a range that is specified by the user, then draw several levels of support and resistance based on Fibonacci levels.
The script will also draw extension levels outside of the specified range that are also based on Fibonacci levels. These extension levels can be turned off in the indicator settings.
Each level is also labelled to help traders understand what each line represents. These labels can be turned off in the indicator settings.
The purpose of this script is to simplify the trading experience of users by giving them the ability to customize the time period that is identified, then draw levels of support and resistance that are based on the price action during this time.
█ USAGE
In the indicator settings, the user has access to a setting called Session Range. This gives users control over the range that will be used.
The script will then identify the high and low of the range that was specified and draw several levels of support and resistance based on Fibonacci levels between this range. The user can also choose to have extension levels that display more levels outside of the range.
These lines will extend until the end of the current trading day at 5:00 pm EST.
█ SETTINGS

Gap Threshold: Defines the minimum gap size considered significant.
Line Colors: Allows customization of colors for small and large gaps.
Line Thickness and Style: Provides options to adjust the thickness and style (solid, dotted, dashed) of the trend lines.
Drawing Extended Trend Lines:
For each bar (candlestick) on the chart, the script checks if there is a gap between the previous candle's close and the current candle's open.
If a gap is detected (i.e., close != open), it determines the size of the gap.
Depending on the size relative to the defined threshold, it selects the appropriate color (small or large gap).
It then draws an extended trend line that starts from the close of the previous candle (bar_index , close ) and extends to the open of the current candle (bar_index, open).
The trend line is drawn with the specified thickness, color, and style.
Dynamic Line Attribute Changes:
The script includes a function (changeLineAttributes()) that periodically changes the color and style of the trend lines.
By default, it changes the color every 4 hours (adjustable), alternating between green and the original color.
Enhanced Functionality:
Handles both small and large gaps with different visual cues (colors).
Supports extended trend lines that span both past and future directions (extend=extend.both), ensuring visibility across the entire chart.
Usage:
Traders can use the "Gap Trend Lines" script to:
Identify and analyze gaps between candlesticks.
Visualize significant price movements or breaks in continuity.
Customize the appearance of trend lines for better clarity and analysis.
By utilizing this script, traders can gain insights into price gap dynamics directly on TradingView charts, aiding in decision-making and strategy development.
DMI ForLoop [InvestorUnknown]Overview
This indicator utilizes the Directional Movement Index (DMI) combined with a for-loop to provide a robust trend analysis (ADX is not a part of this indicator).
Settings
DMI ForLoop Settings:
Start Length (a): The initial length for DMI calculation (inclusive).
End Length (b): The final length for DMI calculation (inclusive).
EMA Length (c): The length for the Exponential Moving Average applied to the DMI values, in order so smoothen the signal.

Functionality
The DMI ForLoop indicator calculates an array of DMI values over a specified range of lengths, then averages these values and applies an EMA for smoothing. The result is a dynamic trend indicator that adapts to market conditions.
DMI Calculation:
The indicator iterates through lengths from Start Length to End Length, calculating the positive and negative directional movement (DM) for each period and calculates the average of all the signals at the end. A custom function version of the DMI is used here in order to use DMI with "series" inputs.
// Function to calculate an array of DMI values over a range of lengths
DMIArray(a, b, c) =>
// Initialize an array to store DMI values, with size based on the range (b - a + 1)
var dmiArray = array.new_float(b - a + 1, 0.0)
// Loop through each length from a to b
for x = 0 to (b - a)
// Calculate the smoothing factor alpha for the current length
alpha = 1.0 / (a + x)
// Initialize variables for positive and negative DM
float plus = na
float minus = na
// Calculate the up and down movements
up = ta.change(high)
down = -ta.change(low)
// Determine the positive DM (plusDM)
plusDM = na(up) ? na : (up > down and up > 0 ? up : 0)
// Determine the negative DM (minusDM)
minusDM = na(down) ? na : (down > up and down > 0 ? down : 0)
// Calculate the smoothed positive DM using either SMA or EMA
plus := na(plus ) ? ta.sma(plusDM, (a + x)) : alpha * plusDM + (1 - alpha) * nz(plus )
// Calculate the smoothed negative DM using either SMA or EMA
minus := na(minus ) ? ta.sma(minusDM, (a + x)) : alpha * minusDM + (1 - alpha) * nz(minus )
// Determine the trend direction: 1 for positive trend, -1 for negative trend, 0 for no trend
trend = plus > minus ? 1 : plus < minus ? -1 : 0
// Store the trend value in the DMI array
array.set(dmiArray, x, trend)
// Calculate the average of the DMI array
dmiAvg = array.avg(dmiArray)
// Apply an EMA to the average DMI value
DMIema = ta.ema(dmiAvg, c)
// Return the DMI array, its average, and the EMA of the average
// Call the DMIArray function with the input parameters and assign the results to variables
= DMIArray(a, b, c)
This indicator is versatile and can be tailored to fit various trading/investing strategies by adjusting the input parameters and signal modes.
KillZones + ACD Fisher [TradingFinder] Sessions + Reversal Level🔵 Introduction
🟣 ACD Method
"The Logical Trader" opens with a thorough exploration of the ACD Methodology, which focuses on pinpointing particular price levels associated with the opening range.
This approach enables traders to establish reference points for their trades, using "A" and "C" points as entry markers. Additionally, the book covers the concept of the "Pivot Range" and how integrating it with the ACD method can help maximize position size while minimizing risk.
🟣 Session
The forex market is operational 24 hours a day, five days a week, closing only on Saturdays and Sundays. Typically, traders prefer to concentrate on one specific forex trading session rather than attempting to trade around the clock.
Trading sessions are defined time periods when a particular financial market is active, allowing for the execution of trades.
The most crucial trading sessions within the 24-hour cycle are the Asia, London, and New York sessions, as these are when substantial money flows and liquidity enter the market.
🟣 Kill Zone
Traders in financial markets earn profits by capitalizing on the difference between their buy/sell prices and the prevailing market prices.
Traders vary in their trading timelines.Some traders engage in daily or even hourly trading, necessitating activity during periods with optimal trading volumes and notable price movements.
Kill zones refer to parts of a session characterized by higher trading volumes and increased price volatility compared to the rest of the session.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Session Times
The "Asia Session" comprises two parts: "Sydney" and "Tokyo." This session begins at 23:00 and ends at 06:00 UTC. The "Asia KillZone" starts at 23:00 and ends at 03:55 UTC.
The "London Session" includes "Frankfurt" and "London," starting at 07:00 and ending at 14:25 UTC. The "London KillZone" runs from 07:00 to 09:55 UTC.
The "New York" session starts at 14:30 and ends at 19:25 UTC, with the "New York am KillZone" beginning at 14:30 and ending at 22:55 UTC.
🟣 ACD Methodology
The ACD strategy is versatile, applicable to various markets such as stocks, commodities, and forex, providing clear buy and sell signals to set price targets and stop losses.
This strategy operates on the premise that the opening range of trades holds statistical significance daily, suggesting that initial market movements impact the market's behavior throughout the day.
Known as a breakout strategy, the ACD method thrives in volatile or strongly trending markets like crude oil and stocks.
Some key rules for employing the ACD strategy include :
Utilize points A and C as critical reference points, continually monitoring these during trades as they act as entry and exit markers.
Analyze daily and multi-day pivot ranges to understand market trends. Prices above the pivots indicate an upward trend, while prices below signal a downward trend.
In forex trading, the ACD strategy can be implemented using the ACD indicator, a technical tool that gauges the market's supply and demand balance. By evaluating trading volume and price, this indicator assists traders in identifying trend strength and optimal entry and exit points.
To effectively use the ACD indicator, consider the following :
Identifying robust trends: The ACD indicator can help pinpoint strong, consistent market trends.
Determining entry and exit points: ACD generates buy and sell signals to optimize trade timing.
Bullish Setup :
When the "A up" line is breached, it’s wise to wait briefly to confirm it’s not a "Fake Breakout" and that the price stabilizes above this line.
Upon entering the trade, the most effective stop loss is positioned below the "A down" line. It's advisable to backtest this to ensure the best outcomes. The recommended reward-to-risk ratio for this strategy is 1, which should also be verified through backtesting.
Bearish Setup :
When the "A down" line is breached, it’s prudent to wait briefly to ensure it’s not a "Fake Breakout" and that the price stabilizes below this line.
Upon entering the trade, the most effective stop loss is positioned above the "A up" line. Backtesting is recommended to confirm the best results. The recommended reward-to-risk ratio for this strategy is 1, which should also be validated through backtesting.
Advantages of Combining Kill Zone and ACD Method in Market Analysis :
Precise Trade Timing : Integrating the Kill Zone strategy with the ACD Method enhances precision in trade entries and exits. The ACD Method identifies key points for trading, while the Kill Zone focuses on high-activity periods, together ensuring optimal timing for trades.
Better Trend Identification : The ACD Method’s pivot ranges help spot market trends, and when combined with the Kill Zone’s emphasis on periods of significant price movement, traders can more effectively identify and follow strong market trends.
Maximized Profits and Minimized Risks : The ACD Method's structured approach to setting price targets and stop losses, coupled with the Kill Zone's high-volume trading periods, helps maximize profit potential while reducing risk.
Robust Risk Management : Combining these methods provides a comprehensive risk management strategy, strategically placing stop losses and protecting capital during volatile periods.
Versatility Across Markets : Both methods are applicable to various markets, including stocks, commodities, and forex, offering flexibility and adaptability in different trading environments.
Enhanced Confidence : Using the combined insights of the Kill Zone and ACD Method, traders gain confidence in their decision-making process, reducing emotional trading and improving consistency.
By merging the Kill Zone’s focus on trading volumes and the ACD Method’s structured breakout strategy, traders benefit from a synergistic approach that enhances precision, trend identification, and risk management across multiple markets.
Supply and Demand StrategyOverview
This strategy is designed to identify key supply (resistance) and demand (support) zones on a price chart. These zones represent areas where the price has historically shown a significant reaction, either bouncing up from a demand zone or dropping down from a supply zone. The strategy provides clear entry and exit points for trades based on these zones.
Key Components
Supply and Demand Zones:
Supply Zone: An area where the price has reversed from an uptrend to a downtrend. It represents a high concentration of sellers.
Demand Zone: An area where the price has reversed from a downtrend to an uptrend. It represents a high concentration of buyers.
Time Frames:
Use higher time frames (like daily or weekly) to identify key supply and demand zones.
Use lower time frames (like 1-hour or 4-hour) to pinpoint precise entry and exit points within these zones.
Confirmation:
Use price action and candlestick patterns (like pin bars or engulfing patterns) to confirm potential reversals in these zones.
ICT KillZones + Pivot Points [TradingFinder] Support/Resistance 🟣 Introduction
Pivot Points are critical levels on a price chart where trading activity is notably high. These points are derived from the prior day's price data and serve as key reference markers for traders' decision-making processes.
Types of Pivot Points :
Floor
Woodie
Camarilla
Fibonacci
🔵 Floor Pivot Points
Widely utilized in technical analysis, floor pivot points are essential in identifying support and resistance levels. The central pivot point (PP) acts as the primary level, suggesting the trend's likely direction.
The additional resistance levels (R1, R2, R3) and support levels (S1, S2, S3) offer further insight into potential trend reversals or continuations.
🔵 Camarilla Pivot Points
Featuring eight distinct levels, Camarilla pivot points closely correspond with support and resistance, making them highly effective for setting stop-loss orders and profit targets.
🔵 Woodie Pivot Points
Similar to floor pivot points, Woodie pivot points differ by placing greater emphasis on the closing price, often resulting in different pivot levels compared to the floor method.
🔵 Fibonacci Pivot Points
Fibonacci pivot points combine the standard floor pivot points with Fibonacci retracement levels applied to the previous trading period's range. Common retracement levels used are 38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%.
🟣 Sessions
Financial markets are divided into specific time segments, known as sessions, each with unique characteristics and activity levels. These sessions are active at different times throughout the day.
The primary sessions in financial markets include :
Asian Session
European Session
New York Session
The timing of these major sessions in UTC is as follows :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 14:25
New York Session: 14:30 to 22:55
🟣 Kill Zones

There are two main strategies for trading pivot points: utilizing "pivot point breakouts" and "price reversals."
🔵 Pivot Point Breakout
When the price breaks through pivot lines, it signals a shift in market sentiment to the trader. In the case of an upward breakout, where the price crosses these pivot lines, a trader might enter a long position, placing their stop-loss just below the pivot point (P).
Conversely, if the price breaks downward, a short position can be initiated below the pivot point. When using the pivot point breakout strategy, the first and second support levels can serve as profit targets in an upward trend. In a downward trend, these roles are filled by the first and second resistance levels.
🔵 Price Reversal
An alternative method involves waiting for the price to reverse at the support and resistance levels. To implement this strategy, traders should take positions opposite to the prevailing trend as the price rebounds from the pivot point.
While this tool is commonly used in higher time frames, it tends to produce better results in shorter time frames, such as 1-hour, 30-minute, and 15-minute intervals.
Three Strategies for Trading the Kill Zone
There are three principal strategies for trading within the kill zone :
Kill Zone Hunt
Breakout and Pullback to Kill Zone
Trading in the Trend of the Kill Zone
🔵 Kill Zone Hunt
This strategy involves waiting until the kill zone concludes and its high and low lines are established. If the price reaches one of these lines within the same session and is strongly rejected, a trade can be executed.
🔵 Breakout and Pullback to Kill Zone
In this approach, once the kill zone ends and its high and low lines stabilize, a trade can be made if the price breaks one of these lines decisively within the same session and then pulls back to that level.
🔵 Trading in the Trend of the Kill Zone
Kill zones are characterized by high trading volumes and strong trends. Therefore, trades can be placed in the direction of the prevailing trend. For instance, if an upward trend dominates this area, a buy trade can be entered when the price reaches a demand order block.

Cosine smoothed stochasticDescription
The "Cosine Smoothed Stochastic" indicator leverages advanced Fourier Transform techniques to smooth the traditional Stochastic Oscillator. This approach enhances the signal's reliability and reduces noise, providing traders with a more refined and actionable indicator.
The Stochastic Oscillator is a popular momentum indicator that measures the current price relative to the high-low range over a specified period. It helps identify overbought and oversold conditions, signaling potential trend reversals. By smoothing this indicator with Fourier Transform techniques, we aim to reduce false signals and improve its effectiveness.
The indicator comprises three main components:
Cosine Function: A custom function to compute the cosine of an input scaled by a frequency tuner.
Kernel Function: Utilizes the cosine function to create a smooth kernel, constrained to positive values within a specific range.
Kernel Regression and Multi Cosine: Perform kernel regression over a lookback period, with the multi cosine function summing these regressions at varying frequencies for a composite smooth signal.
Additionally, the indicator includes a volume oscillator to complement the smoothed stochastic signals, providing insights into market volume trends.
Features
Fourier Transform Smoothing: Advanced smoothing technique to reduce noise.
Volume Oscillator: Dynamic volume-based oscillator for additional market insights.
Customizable Inputs: Users can configure key parameters like regression lookback period, tuning coefficient, and smoothing length.
Visual Alerts: Buy and sell signals based on smoothed stochastic crossovers.
Usage
The indicator is designed for trend-following and momentum-based trading strategies . It helps identify overbought and oversold conditions, trend reversals, and potential entry and exit points based on smoothed stochastic values and volume trends.

Alert Conditions
The indicator sets up alerts for buy and sell signals when the smoothed stochastic crosses over or under its previous value. These alerts can be used for automated trading systems or manual trading signals.
breakthrough of the indicators method :
Initialization and Inputs:
The indicator starts by defining necessary inputs, such as the lookback period for regression, tuning coefficient, and smoothing parameters for the Stochastic Oscillator and volume oscillator.
Cosine Function and Kernel Creation:
The cosine function is defined to compute the cosine of an input scaled by a frequency tuner.
The kernel function utilizes this cosine function to create a smoothing kernel, which is constrained to positive values within a specific range.
Kernel Regression:
The kernel regression function iterates over the lookback period, calculating weighted sums of the source values using the kernel function. This produces a smoothed value by dividing the accumulated weighted values by the total weights.
Multi Cosine Smoothing:
The multi cosine function combines multiple kernel regressions at different frequencies, summing these results and averaging them to achieve a composite smoothed value.
Stochastic Calculation and Smoothing:
The traditional Stochastic Oscillator is calculated, and its %K value is smoothed using an EMA.
The smoothed %K is further refined using the multi cosine function, resulting in a more reliable and less noisy signal.
Volume Oscillator Calculation:
The volume oscillator calculates short and long EMAs of the volume and derives the oscillator as the percentage difference between these EMAs. The result is plotted with dynamic coloring to indicate volume trends.
Plotting and Alerts:
The indicator plots the smoothed stochastic lines , overbought/oversold levels, and volume oscillator on the chart.
Buy and sell alerts are set up based on crossovers of the smoothed stochastic values, providing traders with actionable signals.
ICT Propulsion Block [LuxAlgo]The ICT Propulsion Block indicator is meant to detect and highlight propulsion blocks, which are specific price structures introduced by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT).
Propulsion Blocks are essentially blocks located where prices interact with preceding order blocks. Traders often utilize them when analyzing price movements to identify potential turning points and market behavior or areas of interest in the market.
🔶 USAGE
An order block is a significant area on a price chart where there was a notable accumulation or distribution of orders, often identified by a strong move in price followed by a consolidation or sideways movement. Traders use order blocks to identify potential support or resistance levels.
A Propulsion Block, on the other hand, is a concept taught by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) and refers to a specific type of order block that interacts with the preceding order block. Traders often analyze propulsion blocks to identify potential turning points and areas of interest in the market.
A mitigated order block refers to an order block that has been invalidated or nullified due to subsequent market movements or developments. It no longer holds the same significance or relevance in the current market context.

Uptrick: Recent Support and Resistance LinesThe indicator titled "Uptrick: Recent Support and Resistance Lines" is a technical analysis tool designed for overlay on price charts. It aims to identify and visualize recent support and resistance levels based on pivot points within a specified range.
Key Features and Functionality:
Pivot Length Parameter:
The indicator allows the user to input a pivot length parameter, which defines the range over which the pivot points (highs and lows) are calculated. By default, this length is set to 50 bars.
Support and Resistance Calculation:
The indicator dynamically calculates the most recent support and resistance levels based on pivot points.
Pivot Highs and Lows:
A pivot high is defined as a price level where a bar's high is higher than the highs of the bars around it for a given number of bars defined by the pivot length.
A pivot low is the opposite, where a bar's low is lower than the lows of the surrounding bars within the same range.
Support Line:
When a new pivot low is identified, this becomes the new recent support level.
The indicator creates a horizontal line at this support level, starting from the bar where it was identified and extending to the current bar. This line is colored green and is drawn with a width of 2 pixels. If a support line already exists, it is deleted and replaced with the new line.
Resistance Line:
Similarly, when a new pivot high is detected, it updates the recent resistance level.
A horizontal line is drawn at this resistance level, starting from the bar where it was identified and extending to the current bar. This line is colored red and also drawn with a width of 2 pixels. As with the support line, any existing resistance line is deleted and replaced with the new one.
Visual Representation:
The support and resistance lines extend to the right, providing a clear visual guide on the chart. This helps traders identify key levels where price has previously found support or encountered resistance, which can be critical for making trading decisions.
Practical Application:
Trading Decisions:
Traders can use the visual cues from the support and resistance lines to make informed trading decisions. For instance, they might place buy orders near support levels and sell orders near resistance levels.
The dynamic nature of these lines helps in adapting to the most recent market conditions, ensuring that the levels are relevant to the current price action.
Trend Analysis:
The indicator can assist in analyzing the overall trend. In an uptrend, the support levels may progressively rise, while in a downtrend, resistance levels may drop.
This indicator is particularly useful for traders who rely on visual support and resistance levels to guide their trading strategies, providing a clear and automatic way to track these critical levels on their charts.
Pivot Points Level [TradingFinder] 4 Methods + Reversal lines🔵 Introduction
"Pivot Points" are places on the price chart where buyers and sellers are most active. Pivot points are calculated based on the previous day's price data and serve as reference points for traders to make decisions.
Types of Pivot Points :
Floor
Woodie
Camarilla
Fibonacci
🟣 Floor Pivot Points
Floor pivot points are widely used in technical analysis. The central pivot point (PP) serves as the main level of support or resistance, indicating the potential direction of the trend.
The first to third levels of resistance (R1, R2, R3) and support (S1, S2, S3) provide additional signals for potential trend reversals or continuations.
Floor Pivot Points Formula :
Pivot Point (PP): (H + L + C) / 3
First Resistance (R1): (2 * P) - L
Second Resistance (R2): P + H - L
Third Resistance (R3): H + 2 * (P - L)
First Support (S1): (2 * P) - H
Second Support (S2): P - H + L
Third Support (S3): L - 2 * (H - P)
🟣 Camarilla Pivot Points
Camarilla pivot points include eight levels that closely align with support and resistance. These points are particularly useful for setting stop-loss and profit targets.
Camarilla Pivot Points Formula :
Fourth Resistance (R4): (H - L) * 1.1 / 2 + C
Third Resistance (R3): (H - L) * 1.1 / 4 + C
Second Resistance (R2): (H - L) * 1.1 / 6 + C
First Resistance (R1): (H - L) * 1.1 / 12 + C
First Support (S1): C - (H - L) * 1.1 / 12
Second Support (S2): C - (H - L) * 1.1 / 6
Third Support (S3): C - (H - L) * 1.1 / 4
Fourth Support (S4): C - (H - L) * 1.1 / 2
🟣 Woodie Pivot Points
Woodie pivot points are similar to floor pivot points but place more emphasis on the closing price. This method often results in different pivot levels than the floor method.
Woodie Pivot Points Formula :
Pivot Point (PP): (H + L + 2 * C) / 4
First Resistance (R1): (2 * P) - L
Second Resistance (R2): P + H - L
First Support (S1): (2 * P) - H
Second Support (S2): P - H + L
🟣 Fibonacci Pivot Points
Fibonacci pivot points use the standard floor pivot points and then apply Fibonacci retracement levels to the range of the previous trading period. The common retracement levels used are 38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%.
Fibonacci Pivot Points Formula :
Pivot Point (PP): (H + L + C) / 3
Third Resistance (R3): PP + ((H - L) * 1.000)
Second Resistance (R2): PP + ((H - L) * 0.618)
First Resistance (R1): PP + ((H - L) * 0.382)
First Support (S1): PP - ((H - L) * 0.382)
Second Support (S2): PP - ((H - L) * 0.618)
Third Support (S3): PP - ((H - L) * 1.000)
These pivot point calculations help traders identify potential support and resistance levels, enabling more informed decision-making in their trading strategies.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Two Methods for Trading Pivot Points
There are two primary methods for trading pivot points: trading with "pivot point breakouts" and trading with "price reversals."
🟣 Pivot Point Breakout
A breakout through pivot lines provides a significant signal to the trader, indicating a change in market sentiment. When an upward breakout occurs and the price crosses these lines, a trader can enter a long position and place their stop-loss below the pivot point (P).
Similarly, if a downward breakout happens, a short order can be placed below the pivot point.
When trading with pivot point breakouts, if the upward trend breaks, the first and second support levels can be the trader's profit targets. In a downward trend, the first and second resistance levels will serve this role.
🟣 Price Reversal
Another method for trading pivot points is waiting for the price to reverse from the support and resistance levels. To execute this strategy, one should trade in the opposite direction of the trend as the price reverses from the pivot point.
It's worth noting that although traders use this tool in higher time frames, it yields better results in shorter time frames such as one-hour, 30-minute, and 15-minute intervals.
QuasimodoThis indicator helps traders spot certain patterns on a price chart that might indicate a change in price direction. These patterns are known as "engulfing patterns."
How It Works1.
Bullish Engulfing Patterns:- The current bar (or candle) closes higher than it opens (it's a green or white candle).- The previous bar closed lower than it opened (it was a red or black candle).- The current bar's high is higher than the previous bar's high, and its low is lower than the previous bar's low.- There's another variation where both the current and previous bars are green, but the current bar is still higher and lower than the previous one.
2. Bearish Engulfing Patterns:- The current bar closes lower than it opens (it's a red or black candle).- The previous bar closed higher than it opened (it was a green or white candle).- The current bar's low is lower than the previous bar's low, and its high is higher than the previous bar's high.- There's another variation where both the current and previous bars are red, but the current bar is still higher and lower than the previous one.
What It Shows-
When the indicator spots one of these patterns, it colors the previous candle:-
Yellow for a bullish pattern (price might go up).-
Pink for a bearish pattern (price might go down).
Alerts- The indicator can also send an alert to let you know when it finds one of these patterns, so you don't miss it.
Pivot Points - [RealFact]Description:
The Pivot Points indicator is a powerful tool for identifying potential support and resistance levels based on previous price action. It calculates key pivot levels (P), along with support (S1, S2) and resistance (R1, R2) levels, which are used to forecast potential turning points in the market.
Key Features:
Pivot Calculation: Based on the previous period's high, low, and close prices.
Support and Resistance Levels: Three support (S1, S2) and three resistance (R1, R2) levels.
Customizable Timeframes: Applicable to various timeframes including daily, weekly, and monthly charts.
Visual Representation: Levels are clearly plotted on the chart, making it easy to identify key areas.
Trading Strategies: Useful for breakout, reversal, and trend-following strategies.
How to Use:
Identify Key Levels: Use the pivot point (P) to determine the general market trend.
Support and Resistance: Look for price reactions at S1, S2, R1 and R2 to find potential entry and exit points.
Combine with Other Indicators: Enhance analysis by combining with other technical indicators such as Moving Averages, RSI, or MACD.
Formula:
Pivot Point (P) = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Support 1 (S1) = 2P - High
Resistance 1 (R1) = 2P - Low
Support 2 (S2) = P - (High - Low)
Resistance 2 (R2) = P + (High - Low)
Best Practices:
Confirm with Volume: Look for volume confirmation when price approaches pivot levels.
Avoid False Breakouts: Be cautious of false breakouts and use other indicators to confirm price moves.
Wyckoff Springs [QuantVue]The Wyckoff Springs indicator is designed to identify potential bullish reversal patterns known as "springs" in the Wyckoff Method. A Wyckoff spring occurs when the price temporarily dips below a support level, then quickly rebounds, suggesting a false breakdown and a
potential buying opportunity.
How it works:
Pivot detection:
The indicator identifies pivot lows based on the specified pivot length.
These pivot points are stored and analyzed for potential spring patterns.
Volume and Range Checks:
If volume confirmation is enabled, the indicator checks if the current volume exceeds a threshold based on the average volume over the specified period.
The indicator ensures that the price undercuts the defined trading range before confirming a spring pattern.
Spring Identification
The indicator checks for price conditions indicative of a Wyckoff spring: a temporary dip below a pivot low followed by a close above it. The recovery must take place within 3 bars.
If these conditions are met, a spring label is placed below the bar.
Features:
Pivot Length:
The user can set the pivot length to match any style of trading.
Volume Confirmation:
An optional feature where the user can specify if volume confirmation is required for a spring signal.
Volume threshold can be set to determine what constitutes significant volume compared to the average volume over a specified period. By default it is set to 1.5
