Trend Analysis
Smart Money Concepts (Advanced)Inspired and initially based on LuxAlgo's Smart Money Concepts Indicator I created a library lib_smc that started to convert every function and return objects. This allowed certain customizations like tracking the current fill level of FVGs or tracking the creation of Order Blocks, by monitoring consecutive bars against the current trend.
This indicator is provided as is, based on, but probably not always be up to date with my lib_smc that I am using for my projects.
WARNING: This indicator shows EXPERIMENTAL Order Blocks that are tracked LIVE. Unlike usual Order Blocks these are not just based on the last confirmed Swing Point (formed 50 bars before) but on consecutive candles opposing an unconfirmed trend. Blocks are confirmed by price movements relative to the unconfirmed block and unconfirmed swing points. This means that some Order Blocks will appear on pullbacks, as well as reversals.
Features
Swing Points (HH / LH / HL / LL), indicating support / resistance zones price might reject off of or want to push through
Market Structure (BOS / ChoCh), indicates confirmation for a continued / changing trend
live Order Blocks (OB), see warning above.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG), optional from higher timeframes
Equal Highs / Lows (EQH/EQL), indicates strong support / resistance zones, especially when the bars forming it have long wicks toward that zone
using my lib_no_delay all moving averages are working from bar 0, so it can be used on charts with limited bars
EMA/SMA + Multi-Timeframe Dashboard (Vertical)20/50 ema and 200 sma
The EMA SMA Trading Indicator combines the power of Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) and Simple Moving Averages (SMA) to help traders identify trends, reversals, and key entry/exit points.
Features:
Dual Moving Averages: Tracks both EMA and SMA to provide a balanced view of short-term and long-term market trends.
Customizable Periods: Allows users to set unique periods for EMA and SMA to suit their trading style and timeframe (e.g., day trading, swing trading, or investing).
Cross Alerts: Highlights EMA and SMA crossover points, which often indicate potential buy or sell signals.
Color-Coded Lines: Visual differentiation between EMA (dynamic and responsive) and SMA (smooth and lagging) for better readability.
Multi-Timeframe Compatibility: Suitable for scalping, intraday trading, and long-term analysis.
Usage:
Trend Confirmation: When the EMA is above the SMA, it signals a bullish trend; when it is below the SMA, it signals a bearish trend.
Crossover Strategy: Use crossovers as potential buy (EMA crosses above SMA) or sell (EMA crosses below SMA) signals.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: EMA can act as short-term support/resistance, while SMA represents long-term levels.
This indicator is perfect for traders who want to combine EMA's speed with SMA's stability for improved decision-making in volatile markets. Customizable alerts and visual cues make it user-friendly for beginners and experienced traders.
Make informed decisions and take your trading to the next level with the EMA SMA Trading Indicator!
VPSA-VTDDear Sir/Madam,
I am pleased to present the next iteration of my indicator concept, which, in my opinion, serves as a highly useful tool for analyzing markets using the Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) method or the Wyckoff methodology.
The VPSA (Volume-Price Spread Analysis), the latest version in the family of scripts I’ve developed, appears to perform its task effectively. The combination of visualizing normalized data alongside their significance, achieved through the application of Z-Score standardization, proved to be a sound solution. Therefore, I decided to take it a step further and expand my project with a complementary approach to the existing one.
Theory
At the outset, I want to acknowledge that I’m aware of the existence of other probabilistic models used in financial markets, which may describe these phenomena more accurately. However, in line with Occam's Razor, I aimed to maintain simplicity in the analysis and interpretation of the concepts below. For this reason, I focused on describing the data using the Gaussian distribution.
The data I read from the chart — primarily the closing price, the high-low price difference (spread), and volume — exhibit cyclical patterns. These cycles are described by Wyckoff's methodology, while VSA complements and presents them from a different perspective. I will refrain from explaining these methods in depth due to their complexity and broad scope. What matters is that within these cycles, various events occur, described by candles or bars in distinct ways, characterized by different spreads and volumes. When observing the chart, I notice periods of lower volatility, often accompanied by lower volumes, as well as periods of high volatility and significant volumes. It’s important to find harmony within this apparent chaos. I think that chart interpretation cannot happen without considering the broader context, but the more variables I include in the analytical process, the more challenges arise. For instance, how can I determine if something is large (wide) or small (narrow)? For elements like volume or spread, my script provides a partial answer to this question. Now, let’s get to the point.
Technical Overview
The first technique I applied is Min-Max Normalization. With its help, the script adjusts volume and spread values to a range between 0 and 1. This allows for a comparable bar chart, where a wide bar represents volume, and a narrow one represents spread. Without normalization, visually comparing values that differ by several orders of magnitude would be inconvenient. If the indicator shows that one bar has a unit spread value while another has half that value, it means the first bar is twice as large. The ratio is preserved.
The second technique I used is Z-Score Standardization. This concept is based on the normal distribution, characterized by variables such as the mean and standard deviation, which measures data dispersion around the mean. The Z-Score indicates how many standard deviations a given value deviates from the population mean. The higher the Z-Score, the more the examined object deviates from the mean. If an object has a Z-Score of 3, it falls within 0.1% of the population, making it a rare occurrence or even an anomaly. In the context of chart analysis, such strong deviations are events like climaxes, which often signal the end of a trend, though not always. In my script, I assigned specific colors to frequently occurring Z-Score values:
Below 1 – Blue
Above 1 – Green
Above 2 – Red
Above 3 – Fuchsia
These colors are applied to both spread and volume, allowing for quick visual interpretation of data.
Volume Trend Detector (VTD)
The above forms the foundation of VPSA. However, I have extended the script with a Volume Trend Detector (VTD). The idea is that when I consider market structure - by market structure, I mean the overall chart, support and resistance levels, candles, and patterns typical of spread and volume analysis as well as Wyckoff patterns - I look for price ranges where there is a lack of supply, demand, or clues left behind by Smart Money or the market's enigmatic identity known as the Composite Man. This is essential because, as these clues and behaviors of market participants — expressed through the chart’s dynamics - reflect the actions, decisions, and emotions of all players. These behaviors can help interpret the bull-bear battle and estimate the probability of their next moves, which is one of the key factors for a trader relying on technical analysis to make a trade decision.
I enhanced the script with a Volume Trend Detector, which operates in two modes:
Step-by-Step Logic
The detector identifies expected volume dynamics. For instance, when looking for signs of a lack of bullish interest, I focus on setups with decreasing volatility and volume, particularly for bullish candles. These setups are referred to as No Demand patterns, according to Tom Williams' methodology.
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
The detector can also operate based on a simple moving average, helping to identify systematic trends in declining volume, indicating potential imbalances in market forces.
I’ve designed the program to allow the selection of candle types and volume characteristics to which the script will pay particular attention and notify me of specific market conditions.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages:
Unified visualization of normalized spread and volume, saving time and improving efficiency.
The use of Z-Score as a consistent and repeatable relative mechanism for marking examined values.
The use of colors in visualization as a reference to Z-Score values.
The possibility to set up a continuous alert system that monitors the market in real time.
The use of EMA (Exponential Moving Average) as a moving average for Z-Score.
The goal of these features is to save my time, which is the only truly invaluable resource.
Disadvantages:
The assumption that the data follows a normal distribution, which may lead to inaccurate interpretations.
A fixed analysis period, which may not be perfectly suited to changing market conditions.
The use of EMA as a moving average for Z-Score, listed both as an advantage and a disadvantage depending on market context.
I have included comments within the code to explain the logic behind each part. For those who seek detailed mathematical formulas, I invite you to explore the code itself.
Defining Program Parameters:
Numerical Conditions:
VPSA Period for Analysis – The number of candles analyzed.
Normalized Spread Alert Threshold – The expected normalized spread value; defines how large or small the spread should be, with a range of 0-1.00.
Normalized Volume Alert Threshold – The expected normalized volume value; defines how large or small the volume should be, with a range of 0-1.00.
Spread Z-SCORE Alert Threshold – The Z-SCORE value for the spread; determines how much the spread deviates from the average, with a range of 0-4 (a higher value can be entered, but from a logical standpoint, exceeding 4 is unnecessary).
Volume Z-SCORE Alert Threshold – The Z-SCORE value for volume; determines how much the volume deviates from the average, with a range of 0-4 (the same logical note as above applies).
Logical Conditions:
Logical conditions describe whether the expected value should be less than or equal to or greater than or equal to the numerical condition.
All four parameters accept two possibilities and are analogous to the numerical conditions.
Volume Trend Detector:
Volume Trend Detector Period for Analysis – The analysis period, indicating the number of candles examined.
Method of Trend Determination – The method used to determine the trend. Possible values: Step by Step or SMA.
Trend Direction – The expected trend direction. Possible values: Upward or Downward.
Candle Type – The type of candle taken into account. Possible values: Bullish, Bearish, or Any.
The last available setting is the option to enable a joint alert for VPSA and VTD.
When enabled, VPSA will trigger on the last closed candle, regardless of the VTD analysis period.
Example Use Cases (Labels Visible in the Script Window Indicate Triggered Alerts):
The provided labels in the chart window mark where specific conditions were met and alerts were triggered.
Summary and Reflections
The program I present is a strong tool in the ongoing "game" with the Composite Man.
However, it requires familiarity and understanding of the underlying methodologies to fully utilize its potential.
Of course, like any technical analysis tool, it is not without flaws. There is no indicator that serves as a perfect Grail, accurately signaling Buy or Sell in every case.
I would like to thank those who have read through my thoughts to the end and are willing to take a closer look at my work by using this script.
If you encounter any errors or have suggestions for improvement, please feel free to contact me.
I wish you good health and accurately interpreted market structures, leading to successful trades!

Key Elements:
Supertrend Indicators: Three Supertrend indicators are used with different lengths and multipliers to identify potential trend changes.
Entry Conditions:
The strategy looks for a downtrend on the slowest Supertrend (Supertrend3) followed by uptrends on the medium (Supertrend2) and fast (Supertrend1) Supertrends.
Alternatively, if Supertrend3 is still downtrending, but Supertrend1 is downtrending and a significant previous high (highestGreen) exists, an entry signal is generated.
An optional filter allows using the highest of the last two red candles for highestGreen calculation.
Entry Stop Loss:
An optional stop loss can be set based on the entry price of previous long positions, preventing further losses if the price falls below entry prices.
Exit Conditions:
Three exit options are available:
- All Downtrend Exit: Close all positions if all Supertrends turn uptrend and a bearish candlestick pattern (close price lower than open price) is formed.
- Average Price in Loss Exit: Close all positions if the average entry price of open positions is higher than the current closing price (indicating a loss).
- All Positions in Loss Exit: Close all positions if any of the following conditions are met:
A single open position exists, and its entry price is higher than the current close price.
Two open positions exist, and their entry prices are both higher than the current close price.
Three open positions exist, and their entry prices are all higher than the current close price.
Pyramiding: The strategy allows entering up to three long positions with a fixed allocation of 33.33% each.
Customization Options:
The strategy provides various input parameters to customize its behavior:
Supertrend lengths and multipliers for each indicator.
Option to use the highest of the last two red candles for highestGreen calculation.
Enabling/disabling Entry Stop Loss and different exit conditions.

PowerStrike Pro V3Purpose of the Script
"PowerStrike Pro V3" is a custom indicator designed to generate high-accuracy buy/sell signals by combining multiple technical analysis tools. This script is optimized for trend-following, scalping, and support/resistance strategies. It integrates popular indicators such as RSI, Supertrend, Bollinger Bands, and dynamic support/resistance levels to provide traders with reliable signals.
Components of the Script and How It Works
The script combines the following key components, each contributing to the total signal strength based on user-defined weights. Below is a detailed explanation of how each component works and how it contributes to the overall score:
1. RSI (Relative Strength Index)
How It Works:
RSI identifies overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) conditions in the market.
The script uses RSI values to measure the strength of the trend and generate buy/sell signals.
When RSI is in the oversold zone, it strengthens buy signals. When in the overbought zone, it strengthens sell signals.
Contribution to Total Score:
RSI's contribution is calculated based on its strength in the oversold or overbought zones.
The final contribution is weighted by the user-defined "RSI Weight" and added to the total score.
2. Support and Resistance Levels
How It Works:
The script dynamically calculates recent peaks (resistance) and valleys (support) using a user-defined lookback period.
These levels are plotted on the chart as dynamic support and resistance lines.
The proximity of the price to these levels strengthens the signals.
Contribution to Total Score:
If the price is near a support level, it increases the strength of buy signals.
If the price is near a resistance level, it increases the strength of sell signals.
The contribution is weighted by the "Support/Resistance Weight" and added to the total score.
3. Supertrend Indicator
How It Works:
Supertrend uses ATR (Average True Range) and a multiplier to determine the trend direction.
The script uses Supertrend's direction changes as a filter for buy/sell signals.
When Supertrend is in an uptrend, it strengthens buy signals. When in a downtrend, it strengthens sell signals.
Contribution to Total Score:
Supertrend's contribution is weighted by the "Supertrend Weight" and added to the total score.
4. Bollinger Bands
How It Works:
Bollinger Bands measure price volatility and identify potential support/resistance levels.
The script generates buy signals when the price crosses above the lower band and sell signals when it crosses below the upper band.
Contribution to Total Score:
A crossover above the lower band increases the strength of buy signals.
A crossover below the upper band increases the strength of sell signals.
The contribution is weighted by the "Bollinger Bands Weight" and added to the total score.
5. Order Book Data
How It Works:
The script analyzes bid/ask volumes from the order book to assess market depth.
High bid volume near support levels strengthens buy signals.
High ask volume near resistance levels strengthens sell signals.
Contribution to Total Score:
Order book data is weighted by the "Order Book Weight" and added to the total score.
Signal Types and Their Meaning
The script generates two types of signals:
Weak Signals:
Weak signals indicate the early stages of a trend or minor corrections.
These are represented by small green (buy) or red (sell) triangles on the chart.
Weak signals are suitable for low-risk trades or scalping strategies.
Strong Signals:
Strong signals indicate the continuation of a trend or significant reversal points.
These are represented by larger green (buy) or red (sell) arrows on the chart.
Strong signals are suitable for higher-risk, higher-reward trades.
Total Score Calculation
The script calculates the total buy and sell scores by combining the weighted contributions of all components. The formula for the total score is as follows:
Copy
Total Buy Score = (RSI Buy Strength * RSI Weight) + (Support Strength * Support/Resistance Weight) + (Supertrend Buy Strength * Supertrend Weight) + (Bollinger Buy Strength * Bollinger Weight) + (Order Book Buy Strength * Order Book Weight)
Total Sell Score = (RSI Sell Strength * RSI Weight) + (Resistance Strength * Support/Resistance Weight) + (Supertrend Sell Strength * Supertrend Weight) + (Bollinger Sell Strength * Bollinger Weight) + (Order Book Sell Strength * Order Book Weight)
The total score is then compared to user-defined thresholds to generate weak or strong signals. For example:
A total buy score above 80% generates a weak buy signal.
A total buy score above 85% generates a strong buy signal.
Recommended Strategies
Trend Following: Use strong signals to trade in the direction of the main trend.
Scalping: Use weak signals to capture short-term price movements.
Support/Resistance Trading: Use the dynamically plotted support and resistance levels to identify reversal points.
How to Use the Script
Weight Settings:
Adjust the weights for each component (RSI, Supertrend, Bollinger Bands, etc.) in the script settings to customize the signal strength calculation.
Signal Thresholds:
Set the thresholds for weak and strong signals (e.g., 80% for weak signals, 85% for strong signals).
Chart Visualization:
The script automatically plots buy/sell signals on the chart. Use these signals in conjunction with your trading strategy.
Unique Features of the Script
Dynamic Weighting: Each component's contribution to the total score can be customized using user-defined weights.
Integrated Support/Resistance: The script dynamically calculates and plots support/resistance levels, enhancing signal accuracy.
Order Book Analysis: The inclusion of order book data provides additional confirmation for signals.
Final Notes
While "PowerStrike Pro V3" combines multiple indicators to generate reliable signals, no indicator guarantees 100% accuracy. Always use proper risk management and combine this script with other analysis tools for the best results
Aura Vibes EMA Ribbon + VStop + SAR + Bollinger BandsThe combination of Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), Volatility Stop (VStop), Parabolic SAR (PSAR), and Bollinger Bands (BB) offers a comprehensive approach to technical analysis, each serving a distinct purpose:
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA): EMAs are used to identify the direction of the trend by smoothing price data. Shorter-period EMAs react more quickly to price changes, while longer-period EMAs provide a broader view of the trend.
Volatility Stop (VStop): VStop is a dynamic stop-loss mechanism that adjusts based on market volatility, typically using the Average True Range (ATR). This allows traders to set stop-loss levels that accommodate market fluctuations, potentially reducing the likelihood of premature stop-outs.
Parabolic SAR (PSAR): PSAR is a trend-following indicator that provides potential entry and exit points by plotting dots above or below the price chart. When the dots are below the price, it suggests an uptrend; when above, a downtrend.
Bollinger Bands (BB): BB consists of a middle band (typically a 20-period simple moving average) and two outer bands set at standard deviations above and below the middle band. These bands expand and contract based on market volatility, helping traders identify overbought or oversold conditions.
Integrating these indicators can enhance trading strategies:
Trend Identification: Use EMAs to determine the prevailing market trend. For instance, a short-term EMA crossing above a long-term EMA may signal an uptrend.
Entry and Exit Points: Combine PSAR and BB to pinpoint potential entry and exit points. For example, a PSAR dot appearing below the price during an uptrend, coinciding with the price touching the lower Bollinger Band, might indicate a buying opportunity.
Risk Management: Implement VStop to set adaptive stop-loss levels that adjust with market volatility, providing a buffer against market noise.
By thoughtfully combining these indicators, traders can develop a robust trading system that adapts to various market conditions.
[blackat] L1 Funding Bottom Wave█ OVERVIEW
The script "Funding Bottom Wave" is an indicator designed to analyze market conditions based on multiple smoothed price calculations and specific thresholds. It calculates several values such as B-value, VAR2-value, and additional signals like SK and SD to identify buy/sell levels and reversals, aiding traders in making informed decisions.
█ LOGICAL FRAMEWORK
The script consists of several main components:
• Input parameters that allow customization of calculation periods and thresholds.
• A custom function funding_wave that computes various financial metrics and conditions.
• Plotting commands to visualize different aspects of those computations.
Data flows from input parameters into the funding_wave function where calculations are performed. These results are then plotted according to specified conditions. The script uses conditional expressions to define when certain plots should appear based on the computed values.
█ CUSTOM FUNCTIONS
funding_wave Function:
This function takes six arguments: close_price, high_price, low_price, open_price, period_b, and period_var2. It performs several calculations including:
• Price range percentage normalized between lowest and highest prices over 60 bars.
• SMA of this value over periods defined by period_b and period_var2.
• Several moving averages (MA), EMAs, and extreme point markers (highest/lowest).
• Multiple condition checks involving these metrics leading to buy/high signal flags.
Returns: An array containing B-value, VAR2-value, SK-value, SD-value, along with various conditional signal indicators.
█ KEY POINTS AND TECHNIQUES
• Utilizes built-in TA functions (ta.highest, ta.lowest, ta.sma, ta.ema) for smoothing and normalization purposes.
• Implements extensive use of ternary operators and boolean logic to determine plot visibility based on specific criteria.
• Employs column-style plotting which highlights significant transitions in calculated metric levels visually.
• No explicit loops; computations utilize vectorized operations inherent to Pine Script's nature.
█ EXTENDED KNOWLEDGE AND APPLICATIONS
Potential modifications/extensions include:
• Adding alerts for key threshold crossovers or meeting certain conditions.
• Customizing more sophisticated alert messages incorporating current time and symbol details.
• Incorporating stop-loss/take-profit strategies dynamically adjusted by indicator outputs.
Similar techniques can be applied in:
• Developing robust trend-following systems combining momentum oscillators.
• Enhancing basic price action rulesets with statistical filters derived from historical data behaviors.
• Exploring intraday breakout strategies predicated upon sudden changes in market sentiment captured via volatility spikes.
Related concepts/features:
• Using arrays to encapsulate complex return structures for reusability across scripts/functions.
• Leveraging na effectively within plotting constructs ensures cleaner chart presentation avoiding clutter from irrelevant points.
█ MARKET MEANING OF DIFFERENT COLORED COLUMNS
Red Columns ("B above Var2"):
• Market Interpretation: When the red columns appear, it indicates that the B-value is higher than the VAR2-value. This suggests a strengthening upward trend or consolidation phase where the market might be experiencing buying pressure relative to recent trends.
• Trading Implication: Traders may consider this as a potentially bullish sign, indicating strength in the underlying asset.
Green Columns ("B below Var2"):
• Market Interpretation: Green columns indicate that the B-value is lower than the VAR2-value. This could suggest downward trend acceleration or weakening buying pressure compared to recent trends.
• Trading Implication: Traders might interpret this as a bearish signal, suggesting a possible decline in the market.
Aqua Columns ("SK below SD"):
• Market Interpretation: Aqua columns show instances where the SK-value is below the SD-value. This typically signifies that the short-term stochastic oscillator (or similar measure) is signaling oversold conditions but not yet reaching extremes.
• Trading Implication: While not necessarily a strong sell signal, aqua columns might prompt traders to look for further confirmation before entering long positions.
Fuchsia Columns ("SK above SD"):
• Market Interpretation: Fuchsia columns represent situations where the SK-value exceeds the SD-value. This usually indicates overbought conditions in the near term.
• Trading Implication: Traders often view fuchsia columns as cautionary signs, possibly prompting them to exit existing long positions or refrain from adding new ones without further analysis.
Yellow Columns ("High Condition" and "High Condition Both"):
• Market Interpretation: Yellow columns occur when either the SK-value or B-value crosses above predefined high thresholds (e.g., 90). If both cross simultaneously, they form "High Condition Both."
• Trading Implication: Strongly bullish signals indicating overheated markets prone to corrections. Traders may see this as a good opportunity to take profits or prepare for a pullback/corrective move.
Blue Columns ("Low Condition" and "Low Condition Both"):
• Market Interpretation: Blue columns emerge when either the SK-value or B-value drops below predefined low thresholds (e.g., 10). Simultaneous crossing forms "Low Condition Both."
• Trading Implication: Potentially bullish reversal setups once the market starts showing signs of bottoming out after being significantly oversold. Traders might use blue columns as entry points for establishing long positions or hedging against anticipated rebounds.
Light Purple Columns ("Low Condition with Reversal" and "Low Condition Both with Reversal"):
• Market Interpretation: Light purple columns signify moments when the SK-value or B-value falls below their respective thresholds but has started reversing upwards immediately afterward. If both fall and reverse together, it's denoted as "Low Condition Both with Reversal."
• Trading Implication: Suggests a possible early-stage rebound from an extended downtrend or sideways movement. This could be seen as a highly reliable bulls' flag formation setup.
White Columns ("High Condition with Reversal" and "High Condition Both with Reversal"):
• Market Interpretation: White columns denote scenarios where the SK-value or B-value breaches high thresholds (e.g., 90) but begins descending shortly thereafter. Both simultaneously crossing leads to "High Condition Both with Reversal."
• Trading Implication: Indicative of peak overbought conditions followed quickly by exhaustion in buying interest. This warns traders about potential imminent retracements or pullbacks, prompting exits or short positions.
█ SUMMARY TABLE OF COLUMN COLORS AND THEIR MEANINGS
Color Type Market Interpretation Trading Implication
Red B above Var2 Strengthening upward trend/consolidation Bullish sign
Green B below Var2 Downward trend acceleration/weakening buying pressure Bearish sign
Aqua SK below SD Oversold conditions but not extreme Cautionary signal
Fuchsia SK above SD Overbought conditions Take profit/precaution
Yellow High Condition / High Condition Both Overheated market, likely correction coming Good time to exit/additional selling
Blue Low Condition / Low Condition Both Possible bull/rebound setup Entry point/hedging
Light Purple Low Condition with Reversal / Low Condition Both with Reversal Early-stage rebound from downtrend Reliable bulls' flag formation
White High Condition with Reversal / High Condition Both with Reversal Peak overbought with imminent retracement Exit positions/warning
Understanding these color-coded signals can help traders make more informed decisions, whether for entry, exit, or risk management in trading strategies. Each set of colors provides distinct insights into market dynamics and trends, aiding in effective execution of trade plans.

Custom Percent Pullback LevelThis script takes a stock's current day low and current day high and lets you set a custom pullback level (line and label on the chart) that you can then set an alert for or use as an indicator if the stock is still bullish or bearish.
Pullbacks can be useful for momentum runners to identify potential continuation. As a rule of thumb many people want to see that stock hold onto at least 33% of it's daily gain to continue a bullish look. Some people may want it to hold 50%, and others may want to see a certain amount of gains held through new highs.
This tool allows you to set a custom pullback level for that day so you can easily spot on the chart if the stock is nearing or falling below those levels. You can also set an alert for that level in order to get your attention.
Max The Minner: RSI Bands with Min/Max [by Oberlunar]This Pine Script, titled "Max The Minner: RSI Bands with Min/Max " is a technical indicator designed to visualize RSI-based dynamic bands with local minimum and maximum levels on a chosen timeframe. The script incorporates user-configurable parameters for RSI thresholds, resolution, and color settings, providing traders with a highly customizable tool for analyzing price behavior in relation to overbought and oversold conditions.
Core Functionality
The script begins by calculating the RSI (Relative Strength Index) using user-defined inputs for overbought and oversold levels, the RSI length, and the resolution (default set to daily). The RSI is computed through an exponential moving average (EMA) approach that smooths the upward and downward price movements, creating adaptive upper (ub) and lower (lb) bands based on the overbought and oversold thresholds.
These bands are then dynamically adjusted based on the current price (src) and the EMA calculations. The upper band (ub) represents a potential resistance zone aligned with the RSI overbought level, while the lower band (lb) represents a support zone aligned with the RSI oversold level. The script employs additional calculations to ensure the adaptive nature of these bands, depending on whether the RSI is pushing higher or lower relative to its thresholds.
Local Minima and Maxima
A key feature of the indicator is its ability to track and update local minima and maxima based on the chosen timeframe. The script uses a buffer system that refreshes these levels every three bars to smooth out noise and avoid excessive sensitivity to short-term fluctuations. These local extrema (localMin and localMax) are retrieved from the lower and upper prices of the selected timeframe and act as dynamic benchmarks for evaluating the RSI bands.
Conditional Logic
The script includes conditional logic to determine when the RSI bands intersect with or approach the local maxima or minima. For example:
The upper band (ub) is plotted only if it is below the local maximum, suggesting that price may encounter resistance.
Similarly, the lower band (lb) is plotted only if it is above the local minimum, indicating potential support.
This logic ensures that the bands are contextually relevant to the prevailing market structure, rather than being static overlays.
Visualization
The RSI bands and local extrema are plotted on the chart using color-coded lines, with transparency adjustable through user inputs. The upper band and local maximum are linked with a fill area, visually representing the resistance zone. Similarly, the lower band and local minimum are filled to highlight the support zone. These fills provide a clear depiction of price boundaries, making it easier for traders to spot key levels.
Additionally, the script marks breakout conditions. If the price exceeds the local maximum, a label is plotted at the breakout point with a distinctive style and color. Similarly, a breakout below the local minimum is labeled, providing a visual cue for significant price movements.
Customization
The script offers extensive customization options for both functionality and appearance:
Users can define the overbought and oversold levels for RSI, along with the RSI length and the resolution (timeframe).
Colors for the upper and lower bands, along with transparency (alpha) levels, can be adjusted, allowing for seamless integration with different chart styles.
The periodicity of the local minima and maxima updates is hardcoded to three bars but could be further parameterized for greater flexibility.
This indicator is particularly useful for traders who rely on RSI-based strategies and need a dynamic representation of overbought and oversold conditions in conjunction with local price extremes. By combining RSI bands with the context provided by local minima and maxima, it allows traders to:
Identify potential support and resistance levels.
Visualize price behavior relative to RSI thresholds.
Spot breakout opportunities when price exceeds predefined levels.

Follow Through Day (FTD) + Sweep [TrendX_]The Follow Through Day (FTD) + Sweep indicator is a Trend-following tool mixing William O'Neil's original FTD concept and Liquidity concept. This indicator helps you identify potential subsequent bullish trends with greater precision by combining volume analysis, price action, and liquidity concepts.
💎 FEATURES
Follow Through Day Candle (FTD Candle)
The FTD, pioneered by William O'Neil, serves as a reliable signal for identifying the beginning of new bull markets. It's particularly valuable because it combines multiple market factors - price action, volume, and timing - to confirm genuine market reversals rather than temporary bounces.
The power of the FTD lies in its ability to distinguish between ordinary market fluctuations and significant trend changes. By requiring specific criteria to be met across multiple sessions, it helps filter out false signals and identifies high-probability reversal points where institutional investors are likely beginning to accumulate positions.
Sweep Area
The Sweep area feature enhances the traditional FTD concept by incorporating modern liquidity analysis. This overlay identifies zones where large market participants are likely to trigger stop losses before continuing the trend. These areas often represent optimal entry points for traders looking to join the new uptrend with reduced risk.
🔎 BREAKDOWN
FTD Candle
The FTD formation process occurs in two distinct phases: Setup and Completion.
Setup Phase
Strong Market Decline
The market must first experience a significant downtrend
This selling pressure helps clear out weak hands and creates oversold conditions
The decline creates the potential energy for a powerful reversal
First Recovery Session
Marks the initial sign of buying pressure emerging
Often characterized by a strong reversal candle
Represents the first indication that selling pressure may be exhausting
Recovery Confirmation
The second and third days must maintain prices above the new pivot low
This consolidation period helps confirm the validity of the initial bounce
Shows that sellers are no longer in control of price action
Completion Phase:
Supply Test Session
Low volume indicates diminishing selling pressure
Price remains above the pivot low
Creates the foundation for institutional buyers to begin accumulating
Breakout Day
Price increase exceeds average profit of bullish candles
Volume increases by at least 15% compared to previous session
Shows strong institutional commitment to the new uptrend
Timing Window
Must occur between the 4th and 8th candle after First Recovery Session
This specific timing helps confirm the sustainability of the reversal
Based on O'Neil's research of historical market bottoms
FTD Sweep
The Post-FTD Phase introduces the Sweep concept, which is crucial for understanding how large market participants operate. This feature leverages the liquidity concept because institutional traders often need to trigger stop losses to accumulate larger positions at better prices. This helps:
Create liquidity pools for large position entries
Shake out weak hands before continuing the trend
Test the strength of the new trend by absorbing selling pressure
⚙️ USAGE
Sweep + TP & SL Strategy
Example: BTCUSDT (1D) - Replay back to 9th November 2024
After an FTD candle forms, traders can adopt a systematic approach to enhance their trading strategy. First, they should determine the swing range and convert the post-FTD zone into concrete stop loss and take profit levels, which are based on the price action during the FTD formation. Next, traders should wait for a sweep formation, as this indicates that institutional players are accumulating positions. A quick price rejection from the sweep level should be observed before executing an entry.
The reasoning behind this strategy is rooted in market microstructure. By waiting for the sweep, traders position themselves alongside institutional players who need to build large positions without causing adverse price movement. The sweep creates the liquidity they need, and the subsequent move often represents the true trend continuation.
DISCLAIMER
This indicator is not financial advice, it can only help traders make better decisions. There are many factors and uncertainties that can affect the outcome of any endeavor, and no one can guarantee or predict with certainty what will occur. Therefore, one should always exercise caution and judgment when making decisions based on past performance.

█ Strategy, How it Works: Detailed Explanation
The BBP Strategy with Volume-Percentile TP utilizes several interconnected components to analyze market data and generate trading signals. Here's an overview with essential equations:
🔶 Core Indicators and Calculations
1. Exponential Moving Average (EMA):
- **Purpose:** Smoothens price data to identify trends.
- **Formula:**
EMA_t = (Close_t * (2 / (lengthInput + 1))) + (EMA_(t-1) * (1 - (2 / (lengthInput + 1))))
- Usage: Baseline for Bull and Bear Power.
2. Bull and Bear Power:
- Bull Power: `BullPower = High_t - EMA_t`
- Bear Power: `BearPower = Low_t - EMA_t`
- BBP:** `BBP = BullPower + BearPower`
- Interpretation: Positive BBP indicates bullish strength, negative indicates bearish.
3. Z-Score Calculation:
- Purpose: Normalizes BBP to assess deviation from the mean.
- Formula:
Z-Score = (BBP_t - bbp_mean) / bbp_std
- Components:
- `bbp_mean` = SMA of BBP over `zLength` periods.
- `bbp_std` = Standard deviation of BBP over `zLength` periods.
- Usage: Identifies overbought or oversold conditions based on thresholds.
🔶 Volume Analysis
1. Volume Moving Average (`vol_sma`):
vol_sma = (Volume_1 + Volume_2 + ... + Volume_vol_period) / vol_period
2. Volume Multiplier (`vol_mult`):
vol_mult = Current Volume / vol_sma
- Thresholds:
- High Volume: `vol_mult > 2.0`
- Medium Volume: `1.5 < vol_mult ≤ 2.0`
- Low Volume: `1.0 < vol_mult ≤ 1.5`
🔶 Percentile Analysis
1. Percentile Calculation (`calcPercentile`):
Percentile = (Number of values ≤ Current Value / perc_period) * 100
2. Thresholds:
- High Percentile: >90%
- Medium Percentile: >80%
- Low Percentile: >70%
🔶 Dynamic Take-Profit Mechanism
1. ATR-Based Targets:
TP1 Price = Entry Price ± (ATR * atrMult1 * TP_Factor)
TP2 Price = Entry Price ± (ATR * atrMult2 * TP_Factor)
TP3 Price = Entry Price ± (ATR * atrMult3 * TP_Factor)
- ATR Calculation:
ATR_t = (True Range_1 + True Range_2 + ... + True Range_baseAtrLength) / baseAtrLength
2. Adjustment Factors:
TP_Factor = (vol_score + price_score) / 2
- **vol_score** and **price_score** are based on current volume and price percentiles.

🔶 Entry and Exit Logic
1. Long Entry: If Z-Score crosses above 1.618, then Enter Long.
2. Short Entry: If Z-Score crosses below -1.618, then Enter Short.
3. Exiting Positions:
If Long and Z-Score crosses below 0:
Exit Long
If Short and Z-Score crosses above 0:
Exit Short
4. Take-Profit Execution:
- Set multiple exit orders at dynamically calculated TP levels based on ATR and adjusted by `TP_Factor`.
█ Trade Direction
The strategy determines trade direction using the Z-Score from the BBP indicator:
- Long Positions:
- Condition: Z-Score crosses above 1.618.
- Short Positions:
- Condition: Z-Score crosses below -1.618.
- Exiting Trades:
- Long Exit: Z-Score drops below 0.
- Short Exit: Z-Score rises above 0.
This approach aligns trades with prevailing market trends, increasing the likelihood of successful outcomes.

█ Default Settings
The BBP Strategy with Volume-Percentile TP includes default parameters designed for balanced performance across various markets. Understanding these settings and their impact is essential for optimizing strategy performance:
Bull Bear Power Settings:
- EMA Length (`lengthInput`): 21
- **Effect:** Balances sensitivity and trend identification; shorter lengths respond quicker but may generate false signals.
- Z-Score Length (`zLength`): 252
- **Effect:** Long period for stable mean and standard deviation, reducing false signals but less responsive to recent changes.
- Z-Score Threshold (`zThreshold`): 1.618
- **Effect:** Higher threshold filters out weaker signals, focusing on significant market moves.
Take Profit Settings:
- Use Take Profit (`useTP`): Enabled (`true`)
- **Effect:** Activates dynamic profit-taking, enhancing profitability and risk management.
- ATR Period (`baseAtrLength`): 20
- **Effect:** Shorter period for sensitive volatility measurement, allowing tighter profit targets.
- ATR Multipliers:
- **Effect:** Define conservative to aggressive profit targets based on volatility.
- Position Sizes:
- **Effect:** Diversifies profit-taking across multiple levels, balancing risk and reward.
Volume Analysis Settings:
- Volume MA Period (`vol_period`): 100
- **Effect:** Longer period for stable volume average, reducing the impact of short-term spikes.
- Volume Multipliers:
- **Effect:** Determines volume conditions affecting take-profit adjustments.
- Volume Factors:
- **Effect:** Adjusts ATR multipliers based on volume strength.
Percentile Analysis Settings:
- Percentile Period (`perc_period`): 100
- **Effect:** Balances historical context with responsiveness to recent data.
- Percentile Thresholds:
- **Effect:** Defines price and volume percentile levels influencing take-profit adjustments.
- Percentile Factors:
- **Effect:** Modulates ATR multipliers based on price percentile strength.
Impact on Performance:
- EMA Length: Shorter EMAs increase sensitivity but may cause more false signals; longer EMAs provide stability but react slower to market changes.
- Z-Score Parameters:*Longer Z-Score periods create more stable signals, while higher thresholds reduce trade frequency but increase signal reliability.
- ATR Multipliers and Position Sizes: Higher multipliers allow for larger profit targets with increased risk, while diversified position sizes help in securing profits at multiple levels.
- Volume and Percentile Settings: These adjustments ensure that take-profit targets adapt to current market conditions, enhancing flexibility and performance across different volatility environments.
- Commission and Slippage: Accurate settings prevent overestimation of profitability and ensure the strategy remains viable after accounting for trading costs.
Conclusion
The BBP Strategy with Volume-Percentile TP offers a robust framework by combining BBP indicators with volume and percentile analyses. Its dynamic take-profit mechanism, tailored through ATR adjustments, ensures that traders can effectively capture profits while managing risks in varying market conditions.
