VWAP Direction HistogramThe ** VWAP Direction Histogram ** indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to gauge the directional bias of the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). VWAP is a critical metric that combines price and volume to provide a weighted average price, often used to identify institutional trading activity and support/resistance levels. This indicator builds upon the traditional VWAP by calculating its directional changes over a customizable lookback period, providing clear visual cues to traders through a color-coded histogram.
By identifying whether VWAP is rising or falling over the specified lookback period, this indicator helps traders determine the prevailing trend bias in the market. A positive VWAP direction suggests upward momentum and a bullish trend bias, while a negative direction indicates downward momentum and bearish sentiment. This information is further reinforced by coloring the chart candles based on the VWAP trend, enabling quick visual analysis and enhancing decision-making for trend-following strategies. Whether you're trading intraday or longer-term, the ** VWAP Direction Histogram ** offers an intuitive and effective way to align your trades with market trends.

Duong_Sideway ZoneThis indicator is designed to identify sideway (ranging) zones on the price chart. It uses a Moving Average (MA) and criteria such as the number of price crosses over the MA, as well as breakout checks, to determine whether the market is in a sideway state. When a sideway zone is detected, it is highlighted with a yellow background on the chart.
Key Features:
MA Line: Uses a Moving Average (MA) as the basis for trend identification.
Sideway Threshold: Based on the number of price crosses over the MA within a specific period.
Breakout Check: Excludes zones from being considered sideway if a breakout occurs beyond the ATR threshold.
Visual Highlighting: Highlights sideway zones with a yellow background for easy identification.
This indicator is ideal for traders looking to identify ranging market phases to adjust their trading strategies accordingly.
For example, if within the last 20 candles, the number of times the closing price crosses the MA5 is greater than 4, it is considered a sideway zone, except in cases where the closing price of a recent candle has broken out of the highest/ lowest price of the previous 20 candles.

RSI-Adjusted 9SMAThis indicator integrates the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to create a more robust trading signal by blending momentum and trend analysis. Here's how they work together:
How the RSI and SMA Work in Harmony
RSI (Momentum Indicator):
The RSI measures the speed and change of price movements, oscillating between 0 and 100.
Typically, an RSI value above 50 suggests bullish momentum, while values below 50 indicate bearish momentum.
The script further refines this by applying a 9-period EMA to the RSI. This smoothing process filters out noise, providing a clearer picture of momentum shifts.
SMA (Trend Indicator):
The SMA calculates the average price over a specific period (9 in this case), helping to smooth out price fluctuations and identify the overall trend.
By observing the SMA, traders can determine whether the market is trending upward, downward, or moving sideways.
Combining the Two for Stronger Signals:
The RSI EMA acts as a momentum filter. When it is above 50, it indicates the presence of bullish momentum. Under such conditions, the SMA turning blue provides a stronger confirmation of an uptrend.
Conversely, when the RSI EMA is below 50, it signals weakening momentum. The SMA turning white underlines the caution, suggesting potential bearish conditions or a lack of trend strength.
This combination ensures that traders are not just relying on the SMA's trend-following behavior but also factoring in the market's underlying momentum for more reliable entries and exits.
Why This Approach is Robust
Avoid False Signals:
The SMA alone can generate false signals in choppy or range-bound markets. By incorporating the RSI EMA, the script reduces the likelihood of acting on weak or non-committal trends.
Timing Entries and Exits:
When both the SMA and RSI EMA align (e.g., blue SMA and RSI EMA > 50), it provides a stronger case for entering trades. Similarly, misalignment (e.g., white SMA and RSI EMA ≤ 50) warns against entering during uncertain conditions.
Adapting to Market Conditions:
This dual approach captures both short-term momentum shifts (RSI EMA) and longer-term trend direction (SMA), making it useful across different market phases.
Practical Application
Bullish Setup:
RSI EMA > 50 + Blue SMA → Enter or stay in long positions.
Bearish Setup:
RSI EMA ≤ 50 + White SMA → Exit long positions or consider short opportunities.
This combination of indicators offers traders a balanced strategy that considers both the direction of the trend and the underlying momentum, resulting in more confident and timely decision-making.

Fibonacci Time-Price Zones🟩 Fibonacci Time-Price Zones is a chart visualization tool that combines Fibonacci ratios with time-based and price-based geometry to analyze market behavior. Unlike typical Fibonacci indicators that focus solely on horizontal price levels, this indicator incorporates time into the analysis, providing a more dynamic perspective on price action.
The indicator offers multiple ways to visualize Fibonacci relationships. Drawing segmented circles creates a unique perspective on price action by incorporating time into the analysis. These segmented circles, similar to TradingView's built-in Fibonacci Circles, are derived from Fibonacci time and price levels, allowing traders to identify potential turning points based on the dynamic interaction between price and time.
As another distinct visualization method, the indicator incorporates orthogonal patterns, created by the intersection of horizontal and vertical Fibonacci levels. These intersections form L-shaped connections on the chart, derived from key Fibonacci price and time intervals, highlighting potential areas of support or resistance at specific points in time.
In addition to these geometric approaches, another option is sloped lines, which project Fibonacci levels that account for both time and price along the trendline. These projections derive their angles from the interplay between Fibonacci price levels and Fibonacci time intervals, creating dynamic zones on the chart. The slope of these lines reflects the direction and angle of the trend, providing a visual representation of price alignment with market direction, while maintaining the time-price relationship unique to this indicator
The indicator also includes horizontal Fibonacci levels similar to traditional retracement and extension tools. However, unlike standard tools, traders can display retracement levels, extension levels, or both simultaneously from a single instance of the indicator. These horizontal levels maintain consistency with the chosen visualization method, automatically scaling and adapting whether used with circles, orthogonal patterns, or slope-based analysis.
By combining these distinct methods—circles, orthogonal patterns, sloped projections, and horizontal levels—the indicator provides a comprehensive approach to Fibonacci analysis based on both time and price relationships. Each visualization method offers a unique perspective on market structure while maintaining the core principle of time-price interaction.
⭕ THEORY AND CONCEPT ⭕
While traditional Fibonacci tools excel at identifying potential support and resistance levels through price-based ratios (0.236, 0.382, 0.618), they do not incorporate the dimension of time in market analysis. Extensions and retracements effectively measure price relationships within trends, yet markets move through both price and time dimensions simultaneously.
Fibonacci circles represent an evolution in technical analysis by incorporating time intervals alongside price levels. Based on the mathematical principle that markets often move in circular patterns proportional to Fibonacci ratios, these circles project potential support and resistance zones as partial circles radiating from significant price points. However, traditional circle-based tools can create visual complexity that obscures key market relationships. The integration of time into Fibonacci analysis reveals how price movements often respect both temporal and price-based ratios, suggesting a deeper geometric structure to market behavior.
The Fibonacci Time-Price Zones indicator advances these concepts by providing multiple geometric approaches to visualize time-price relationships. Each shape option—circles, orthogonal patterns, slopes, and horizontal levels—represents a different mathematical perspective on how Fibonacci ratios manifest across both dimensions. This multi-faceted approach allows traders to observe how price responds to Fibonacci-based zones that account for both time and price movements, potentially revealing market structure that purely price-based tools might miss.
Shape Options
The indicator employs four distinct geometric approaches to analyze Fibonacci relationships across time and price dimensions:
Circular : Represents the cyclical nature of market movements through partial circles, where each radius is scaled by Fibonacci ratios incorporating both time and price components. This geometry suggests market movements may follow proportional circular paths from significant pivot points, reflecting the harmonic relationship between time and price.
Orthogonal : Constructs L-shaped patterns that separate the time and price components of Fibonacci relationships. The horizontal component represents price levels, while the vertical component measures time intervals, allowing analysis of how these dimensions interact independently at key market points.
Sloped : Projects Fibonacci levels along the prevailing trend, incorporating both time and price in the angle of projection. This approach suggests that support and resistance levels may maintain their relationship to price while adjusting to the temporal flow of the market.
Horizontal : Provides traditional static Fibonacci levels that serve as a reference point for comparing price-only analysis with the dynamic time-price relationships shown in the other three shapes. This baseline approach allows traders to evaluate how the incorporation of time dimension enhances or modifies traditional Fibonacci analysis.
By combining these geometric approaches, the Fibonacci Time-Price Zones indicator creates a comprehensive analytical framework that bridges traditional and advanced Fibonacci analysis. The horizontal levels serve as familiar reference points, while the dynamic elements—circular, orthogonal, and sloped projections—reveal how price action responds to temporal relationships. This multi-dimensional approach enables traders to study market structure through various geometric lenses, providing deeper insights into time-price symmetry within technical analysis. Whether applied to retracements, extensions, or trend analysis, the indicator offers a structured methodology for understanding how markets move through both price and time dimensions.
🛠️ CONFIGURATION AND SETTINGS 🛠️
The Fibonacci Time-Price Zones indicator offers a range of configurable settings to tailor its functionality and visual representation to your specific analysis needs. These options allow you to customize zone visibility, structures, horizontal lines, and other features.
Important Note: The indicator's calculations are anchored to user-defined start and end points on the chart. When switching between charts with significantly different price scales (e.g., from Bitcoin at $100,000 to Silver at $30), adjustment of these anchor points is required to ensure correct positioning of the Fibonacci elements.

🖼️ CHART EXAMPLES 🖼️
Fibonacci Time-Price Zones using the 'Circular' Shape option. Note the price interaction at the 0.786 level, which acts as a support zone. Additional points of interest include resistance near the 0.618 level and consolidation around the 0.5 level, highlighting the utility of both horizontal and semicircular Fibonacci projections in identifying key price areas.
Fibonacci Time-Price Zones using the 'Sloped' Shape option. The chart displays price retracing along the sloped Fibonacci levels, with blue arrows highlighting potential support zones at 0.618 and 0.786, and a red arrow indicating potential resistance at the 1.0 level. This visual representation aligns with the prevailing downtrend, suggesting potential selling pressure at the 1.0 Fibonacci level.
Fibonacci Time-Price Zones using the 'Orthogonal' Shape option. The chart demonstrates price action interacting with vertical zones created by the orthogonal lines at the 0.618, 0.786, and 1.0 Fibonacci levels. Blue arrows highlight potential support areas, while red arrows indicate potential resistance areas, revealing how the orthogonal lines can identify distinct points of price interaction.
Fibonacci Time-Price Zones using the 'Circular' Shape option. The chart displays price action in relation to segmented circles emanating from the starting point (point A). The circles represent different Fibonacci ratios (0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786) and their intersections with the price axis create potential zones of support and resistance. This approach offers a visually distinct way to analyze potential turning points based on both price and time.
Fibonacci Time-Price Zones using the 'Sloped' Shape option. The sloped Fibonacci levels (0.786, 0.618, 0.5) create zones of potential support and resistance, with price finding clear interaction within these areas. The ellipses highlight this price action, particularly the support between 0.786 and 0.618, which aligns closely with the trend.
Fibonacci Time-Price Zones using the 'Circular' Shape option. The price action appears to be ‘hugging’ the 0.5 Fibonacci level, suggesting potential resistance. This demonstrates how the circular zones can identify potential turning points and areas of consolidation which might not be seen with linear analysis.
Fibonacci Time-Price Zones using the 'Sloped' Shape option with Point D marker enabled. The chart demonstrates clear price action closely following along the sloped Retracement line until the orthogonal intersection at the 0.618 levels where the trend is broken and price dips throughout the 0.618 to 0.786 horizontal zone. Price jumps back to the retracement slope at the start of the 0.786 horizontal zone and continues to the 1.0 horizontal zone. The aqua-colored retracement line is enabled to further emphasize this retracement slope .

📐 GEOMETRIC FOUNDATIONS 📐
This indicator integrates circular and straight representations of Fibonacci levels, specifically the Circular , Orthogonal , Sloped , and Horizontal shape options. The geometric principles behind these shapes differ significantly, requiring distinct scaling methods for accurate representation. The Circular shape employs logarithmic scaling with radial expansion, where the distance from a central point determines the level's position, creating partial circles that align with TradingView's built-in Fibonacci Circle tool. The other three shapes utilize geometric progression scaling for linear extension from a starting point, resulting in straight lines that align with TradingView's built-in Fibonacci retracement and extension tools. Due to these distinct geometric foundations and scaling methods, perfectly aligning both the partial circles and straight lines simultaneously is mathematically constrained, though any differences are typically visually imperceptible.
The Circular shape's partial circles are calculated and scaled to align with TradingView's built-in Fibonacci Circles. These circles are plotted from the second swing point onward. This approach ensures consistent and accurate visualization across all market types, including those with gaps or closed sessions, which unlike 24/7 markets, do not have a direct one-to-one correspondence between bar indices and time. To maintain accurate geometric proportions across varying chart scales, the indicator calculates an aspect ratio by normalizing the proportional difference between vertical (price) and horizontal (time) distances of the swing points. This normalization factor ensures geometric shapes maintain their mathematical properties regardless of price scale magnitude or time period span, while maintaining the correct proportions of the geometric constructions at any chart zoom level.
The indicator automatically applies the appropriate scaling factor based on the selected shape option, optimizing either circular proportions and proper radius calculations for each Fibonacci level, or straight-line relationships between Fibonacci levels. These distinct scaling approaches maintain mathematical integrity while preserving the essential characteristics of each geometric representation, ensuring optimal visualization accuracy whether using circular or linear shapes.

[EmreKb] Dynamic Factor SupertrendThe Dynamic Factor Supertrend is an innovative variation of the classic Supertrend indicator, designed to provide traders with more accurate trend signals while reducing the impact of false breakouts. Unlike the traditional Supertrend, which relies on a fixed multiplier (Factor) applied to the Average True Range (ATR), this enhanced version introduces a dynamic adjustment mechanism based on price movements relative to the Supertrend line.
This indicator works by assessing the distance between the price and the Supertrend line. When the price moves significantly beyond the typical ATR × Factor distance, the remaining gap is recalculated using a Dynamic Factor. This additional scaling adjusts the base factor, effectively modifying the Supertrend line to better reflect current market conditions. This process ensures that the trend line adapts dynamically to changes in price behavior, reducing noise and improving signal reliability in volatile markets.
One of the key advantages of the Dynamic Factor Supertrend is its ability to minimize false trend reversals. By incorporating the Dynamic Factor adjustment, the indicator becomes more resilient to minor price fluctuations that could otherwise trigger incorrect signals. This makes it particularly effective in markets where volatility is high, or during periods of choppy price action, where traditional Supertrend indicators often struggle to maintain accuracy.
Traders can use the Dynamic Factor Supertrend to identify clear trend directions, with uptrends signaled when the price is above the trend line and downtrends when it is below. The Dynamic Factor parameter can be fine-tuned to match individual trading styles, offering greater flexibility. A lower value makes the trend line more responsive to price changes, while a higher value provides more stability by reducing the frequency of adjustments.
In summary, the Dynamic Factor Supertrend is an advanced trend-following tool that combines the foundational concepts of the Supertrend with a novel dynamic adjustment mechanism. It offers traders a more reliable way to navigate complex market conditions, making it a valuable addition to any trading strategy. This indicator is particularly well-suited for those seeking to reduce false signals and enhance the accuracy of their trend analysis in all market environments.

Volume-MACD-RSI Integrated StrategyDescription:
This script integrates three well-known technical analysis tools—Volume, MACD, and RSI—into a single signal meant to help traders identify potential turning points under strong market conditions.
Concept Overview:
Volume Filter: We compare the current bar’s volume to a 20-period volume average and require it to exceed a specified multiplier. This ensures that signals occur only during periods of heightened market participation. The logic is that moves on low volume are less reliable, so we wait for increased activity to confirm potential trend changes.
MACD Momentum Shift:
We incorporate MACD crossovers to determine when momentum is changing direction. MACD is a popular momentum indicator that identifies shifts in trend by comparing short-term and long-term EMAs. A bullish crossover (MACD line crossing above the signal line) may suggest upward momentum is building, while a bearish crossunder can indicate momentum turning downward.
RSI Market Condition Check:
RSI helps us identify overbought or oversold conditions. By requiring that RSI be oversold on buy signals and overbought on sell signals, we attempt to pinpoint entries where price could be at an extreme. The idea is to position entries or exits at junctures where price may be due for a reversal.
How the Script Works Together:
Volume Confirmation: No signals fire unless there’s strong volume. This reduces false positives.
MACD Momentum Check: Once volume confirms market interest, MACD crossover events serve as a trigger to initiate consideration of a trade signal.
RSI Condition: Finally, RSI determines whether the market is at an extreme. This final layer helps ensure we only act on signals that have both momentum shift and a price at an extreme level, potentially increasing the reliability of signals.
Intended Use:
This script can help highlight potential reversal points or trend shifts during active market periods.
Traders can use these signals as a starting point for deeper analysis. For instance, a “BUY” arrow may prompt a trader to investigate the market context, confirm with other methods, or look for patterns that further support a long entry.
The script is best used on markets with reliable volume data, such as stocks or futures, and can be experimented with across different timeframes. Adjusting the RSI thresholds, MACD parameters, and volume multiplier can help tailor it to specific instruments or trading styles.
Chart Setup:
When adding this script to your chart, it should be the only indicator present, so you can clearly see the red “BUY” arrows and green “SELL” arrows at the candle closes where signals occur.
The chart should be kept clean and uncluttered for clarity. No other indicators are necessary since the logic is already integrated into this single script.
Swing High/Low Pivots Strategy [LV]The Swing High/Low Pivots Strategy was developed as a counter-momentum trading tool.
The strategy is suitable for any market and the default values used in the input settings menu are set for Bitcoin (best on 15min). These values, expressed in minimum ticks (or pips if symbol is Forex) make this tool perfectly adaptable to every symbol and/or timeframe.
Check tooltips in the settings menu for more details about every user input.
STRTEGY ENTRY & EXIT MECHANISMS:
Trades Entry based on the detection of swing highs and lows for short and long entries respectively, validated by:
- Limit orders placed after each new pivot level confirmation
- Moving averages trend filter (if enabled)
- No active trade currently open
Trades Exit when the price reaches take-profit or stop-loss level as defined in the settings menu. A double entry/second take-profit level can be enabled for partial exits, with dynamic stop-loss adjustment for the remaining position.
Enhanced Trade Precision:
By limiting entries to confirmed swing high (HH, LH) or swing low (HL, LL) pivot points, the strategy ensures that trades occur at levels of significant price reversals. This precision reduces the likelihood of entering trades in the midst of a trend or during uncertain price action.
Risk Management Optimization:
The strategy incorporates clearly defined stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) levels derived from the pivot points. This structured approach minimizes potential losses while locking in profits, which is critical for consistent performance in volatile markets.
Trend Filtering for Better Entry:
The use of a configurable moving average filter adds a layer of trend validation. This prevents entering trades against the dominant market trend, increasing the probability of success for each trade.
Avoidance of Noise:
The lookback period (length parameter) confirms pivots only after a set number of bars, effectively filtering out market noise and ensuring that entries are based on reliable, well-defined price movements.
Adaptability Across Markets:
The strategy is versatile and can be applied across different markets (Forex, stocks, crypto) due to its dynamic use of ticks and pips converters. It adapts seamlessly to varying price scales and asset types.
Dual Quantity Entries:
The original and optionnal double-entry mechanism allows traders to capture both short-term and extended profits by scaling out of positions. This adaptive approach caters to varying risk appetites and market conditions.
Clear Visualization:
The plotted pivot points, entry limits, SL, and TP levels provide visual clarity, making it easy for traders to track the strategy's behavior and make informed decisions.
Automated Execution with Alerts:
Integrated alerts for both entries and exits ensure timely actions without the need for constant market monitoring, enhancing efficiency. Configurable alert messages are suitable for API use.

Dual Zigzag [Trendoscope®]🎲 Dual Zigzag indicator is built on recursive zigzag algorithm. It is very similar to other zigzag indicators published by us and other authors. However, the key point here is, the indicator draws zigzag on both price and any other plot based indicator on separate layouts.
Before we get into the indicator, here are some brief descriptions of the underlying concepts and key terminologies
🎯 Zigzag
Zigzag indicator breaks down price or any input series into a series of Pivot Highs and Pivot Lows alternating between each other. Zigzags though shows pivot high and lows, should not be used for buying at low and selling at high. The main application of zigzag indicator is for the visualisation of market structure and this can be used as basic building block for any pattern recognition algorithms.
🎯 Recursive Zigzag Algorithm
Recursive zigzag algorithm builds zigzag on multiple levels and each level of zigzag is based on the previous level pivots. The level zero zigzag is built on price. However, for level 1, instead of price level 0 zigzag pivots are used. Similarly for level 2, level 1 zigzag pivots are used as base.
🎲 Components Dual Zigzag Indicator
Here are the components of Dual zigzag indicator
Built in Oscillator - Indicator has built in oscillator options for plotting RSI (Relative Strength Index), MFI (Money Flow Index), cci (Commodity Channel Index) , CMO (Chande Momentum Oscillator), COG (Center of Gravity), and ROC (Rate of Change). Apart from the given built in oscillators, users can also use a custom external output as base. The oscillators are not printed on the price pane. But, printed on a separate indicator overlay.
Zigzag On Oscillator - Recursive zigzag is calculated and printed on the oscillator series. Each pivot high and pivot low also prints a label having the retracement ratios, and price levels at those points. Zigzag on the oscillator is also printed on the indicator overlay pane.
Zigzag on Price - Recursive zigzag calculated based on price and printed on the price pane. This is made possible by using force_overlay option present in the drawing objects. At each zigzag pivot levels, the label having price retracement ratios, and oscillator values are printed.
It is called dual zigzag because, the indicator calculates the zigzag on both price and oscillator series of values and prints them separately on different panes on the chart.
🎲 Indicator Settings
Settings include
Theme display settings to get the right colour combination to match the background.
Zigzag settings to be used for zigzag calculation and display
Oscillator settings to chose the oscillator to be used as base for 2nd zigzag
🎲 Applications
Useful in spotting divergences with both indicator and price having their own zigzag to highlight pivots
Spotting patterns in indicators/oscillators and correlate them with the patterns on price
🎲 Using External Input
If users want to use an external indicator such as OBV instead of the built in oscillators, then can do so by using the custom option.
Here is how this can be done.
Step1. Add both Dual Zigzag and the intended indicator (in this case OBV) on the chart. Notice that both OBV and Dual zigzag appear on different panes.
Step2. Edit the indicator settings of Dual zigzag and set custom indicator by selecting "custom" as oscillator name and then by setting the custom external indicator name and input.
Step 3. You would notice that the zigzag in Dual Zigzag indictor pane is already showing the zigzag pivots based on the OBV indicator and the price pivots display obv values at the pivot points. We can leave this as is.
Step 4. As an additional step, you can also merge the OBV pane and the Dual zigzag indicator pane into one by going into OBV settings and moving the indicator to above pane. Merge the scales so that there is no two scales on the same pane and the entire scale appear on the right.
At the end, you should see two panes - one with price and other with OBV and both having their zigzag plotted.
4-Year Cycles [jpkxyz]Overview of the Script
I wanted to write a script that encompasses the wide-spread macro fund manager investment thesis: "Crypto is simply and expression of macro." A thesis pioneered by the likes of Raoul Pal (EXPAAM) , Andreesen Horowitz (A16Z) , Joe McCann (ASYMETRIC) , Bob Loukas and many more.
Cycle Theory Background:
The 2007-2008 financial crisis transformed central bank monetary policy by introducing:
- Quantitative Easing (QE): Creating money to buy assets and inject liquidity
- Coordinated global monetary interventions
Proactive 4-year economic cycles characterised by:
- Expansionary periods (low rates, money creation)
- Followed by contraction/normalisation
Central banks now deliberately manipulate liquidity, interest rates, and asset prices to control economic cycles, using monetary policy as a precision tool rather than a blunt instrument.
Cycle Characteristics (based on historical cycles):
- A cycle has 4 seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter)
- Each season with a cycle lasts 365 days
- The Cycle Low happens towards the beginning of the Spring Season of each new cycle
- This is followed by a run up throughout the Spring and Summer Season
- The Cycle High happens towards the end of the Fall Season
- The Winter season is characterised by price corrections until establishing a new floor in the Spring of the next cycle
Key Functionalities
1. Cycle Tracking
- Divides market history into 4-year cycles (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter)
- Starts tracking cycles from 2011 (first cycle after the 2007 crisis cycle)
- Identifies and marks cycle boundaries
2. Visualization
- Colors background based on current cycle season
- Draws lines connecting:
- Cycle highs and lows
- Inter-cycle price movements
- Adds labels showing:
- Percentage gains/losses between cycles
- Number of days between significant points
3. Customization Options
- Allows users to customize:
- Colors for each season
- Line and label colors
- Label size
- Background opacity
Detailed Mechanism
Cycle Identification
- Uses a modulo calculation to determine the current season in the 4-year cycle
- Preset boundary years include 2015, 2019, 2023, 2027
- Automatically tracks and marks cycle transitions
Price Analysis
- Tracks highest and lowest prices within each cycle
- Calculates percentage changes:
- Intra-cycle (low to high)
- Inter-cycle (previous high to current high/low)
Visualization Techniques
- Background color changes based on current cycle season
- Dashed and solid lines connect significant price points
- Labels provide quantitative insights about price movements
Unique Aspects
1. Predictive Cycle Framework: Provides a structured way to view market movements beyond traditional technical analysis
2. Seasonal Color Coding: Intuitive visual representation of market cycle stages
3. Comprehensive Price Tracking: Captures both intra-cycle and inter-cycle price dynamics
4. Highly Customizable: Users can adjust visual parameters to suit their preferences
Potential Use Cases
- Technical analysis for long-term investors
- Identifying market cycle patterns
- Understanding historical price movement rhythms
- Educational tool for market cycle theory
Limitations/Considerations
- Based on a predefined 4-year cycle model (Liquidity Cycles)
- Historic Cycle Structures are not an indication for future performance
- May not perfectly represent all market behavior
- Requires visual interpretation
This script is particularly interesting for investors who believe in cyclical market theories and want a visual, data-driven representation of market stages.
Median Deviation Suite [InvestorUnknown]The Median Deviation Suite uses a median-based baseline derived from a Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) and layers multiple deviation measures around it. By comparing price to these deviation-based ranges, it attempts to identify trends and potential turning points in the market. The indicator also incorporates several deviation types—Average Absolute Deviation (AAD), Median Absolute Deviation (MAD), Standard Deviation (STDEV), and Average True Range (ATR)—allowing traders to visualize different forms of volatility and dispersion. Users should calibrate the settings to suit their specific trading approach, as the default values are not optimized.
Core Components
Median of a DEMA:
The foundation of the indicator is a Median applied to the 7-day DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average). DEMA aims to reduce lag compared to simple or exponential moving averages. By then taking a median over median_len periods of the DEMA values, the indicator creates a robust and stable central tendency line.
float dema = ta.dema(src, 7)
float median = ta.median(dema, median_len)
Multiple Deviation Measures:
Around this median, the indicator calculates several measures of dispersion:
ATR (Average True Range): A popular volatility measure.
STDEV (Standard Deviation): Measures the spread of price data from its mean.
MAD (Median Absolute Deviation): A robust measure of variability less influenced by outliers.
AAD (Average Absolute Deviation): Similar to MAD, but uses the mean absolute deviation instead of median.
Average of Deviations (avg_dev): The average of the above four measures (ATR, STDEV, MAD, AAD), providing a combined sense of volatility.
Each measure is multiplied by a user-defined multiplier (dev_mul) to scale the width of the bands.
aad = f_aad(src, dev_len, median) * dev_mul
mad = f_mad(src, dev_len, median) * dev_mul
stdev = ta.stdev(src, dev_len) * dev_mul
atr = ta.atr(dev_len) * dev_mul
avg_dev = math.avg(aad, mad, stdev, atr)
Deviation-Based Bands:
The indicator creates multiple upper and lower lines based on each deviation type. For example, using MAD:
float mad_p = median + mad // already multiplied by dev_mul
float mad_m = median - mad
Similar calculations are done for AAD, STDEV, ATR, and the average of these deviations. The indicator then determines the overall upper and lower boundaries by combining these lines:
float upper = f_max4(aad_p, mad_p, stdev_p, atr_p)
float lower = f_min4(aad_m, mad_m, stdev_m, atr_m)
float upper2 = f_min4(aad_p, mad_p, stdev_p, atr_p)
float lower2 = f_max4(aad_m, mad_m, stdev_m, atr_m)
This creates a layered structure of volatility envelopes. Traders can observe which layers price interacts with to gauge trend strength.
Determining Trend
The indicator generates trend signals by assessing where price stands relative to these deviation-based lines. It assigns a trend score by summing individual signals from each deviation measure. For instance, if price crosses above the MAD-based upper line, it contributes a bullish point; crossing below an ATR-based lower line contributes a bearish point.
When the aggregated trend score crosses above zero, it suggests a shift towards a bullish environment; crossing below zero indicates a bearish bias.
// Define Trend scores
var int aad_t = 0
if ta.crossover(src, aad_p)
aad_t := 1
if ta.crossunder(src, aad_m)
aad_t := -1
var int mad_t = 0
if ta.crossover(src, mad_p)
mad_t := 1
if ta.crossunder(src, mad_m)
mad_t := -1
var int stdev_t = 0
if ta.crossover(src, stdev_p)
stdev_t := 1
if ta.crossunder(src, stdev_m)
stdev_t := -1
var int atr_t = 0
if ta.crossover(src, atr_p)
atr_t := 1
if ta.crossunder(src, atr_m)
atr_t := -1
var int adev_t = 0
if ta.crossover(src, adev_p)
adev_t := 1
if ta.crossunder(src, adev_m)
adev_t := -1
int upper_t = src > upper ? 3 : 0
int lower_t = src < lower ? 0 : -3
int upper2_t = src > upper2 ? 1 : 0
int lower2_t = src < lower2 ? 0 : -1
float trend = aad_t + mad_t + stdev_t + atr_t + adev_t + upper_t + lower_t + upper2_t + lower2_t
var float sig = 0
if ta.crossover(trend, 0)
sig := 1
else if ta.crossunder(trend, 0)
sig := -1
Practical Usage and Calibration
Default settings are not optimized: The given parameters serve as a starting point for demonstration. Users should adjust:
median_len: Affects how smooth and lagging the median of the DEMA is.
dev_len and dev_mul: Influence the sensitivity of the deviation measures. Larger multipliers widen the bands, potentially reducing false signals but introducing more lag. Smaller multipliers tighten the bands, producing quicker signals but potentially more whipsaws.
This flexibility allows the trader to tailor the indicator for various markets (stocks, forex, crypto) and time frames.
Backtesting and Performance Metrics
The code integrates with a backtesting library that allows traders to:
Evaluate the strategy historically
Compare the indicator’s signals with a simple buy-and-hold approach
Generate performance metrics (e.g., mean returns, Sharpe Ratio, Sortino Ratio) to assess historical effectiveness.
Disclaimer
No guaranteed results: Historical performance does not guarantee future outcomes. Market conditions can vary widely.
User responsibility: Traders should combine this indicator with other forms of analysis, appropriate risk management, and careful calibration of parameters.

R-based Strategy Template [Daveatt]Have you ever wondered how to properly track your trading performance based on risk rather than just profits?
This template solves that problem by implementing R-multiple tracking directly in TradingView's strategy tester.
This script is a tool that you must update with your own trading entry logic.
Quick notes
Before we dive in, I want to be clear: this is a template focused on R-multiple calculation and visualization.
I'm using a basic RSI strategy with dummy values just to demonstrate how the R tracking works. The actual trading signals aren't important here - you should replace them with your own strategy logic.
R multiple logic
Let's talk about what R-multiple means in practice.
Think of R as your initial risk per trade.
For instance, if you have a $10,000 account and you're risking 1% per trade, your 1R would be $100.
A trade that makes twice your risk would be +2R ($200), while hitting your stop loss would be -1R (-$100).
This way of measuring makes it much easier to evaluate your strategy's performance regardless of account size.
Whenever the SL is hit, we lose -1R
Proof showing the strategy tester whenever the SL is hit: i.imgur.com
The magic happens in how we calculate position sizes.
The script automatically determines the right position size to risk exactly your specified percentage on each trade.
This is done through a simple but powerful calculation:
risk_amount = (strategy.equity * (risk_per_trade_percent / 100))
sl_distance = math.abs(entry_price - sl_price)
position_size = risk_amount / (sl_distance * syminfo.pointvalue)
Limitations with lower timeframe gaps
This ensures that if your stop loss gets hit, you'll lose exactly the amount you intended to risk. No more, no less.
Well, could be more or less actually ... let's assume you're trading futures on a 15-minute chart but in the 1-minute chart there is a gap ... then your 15 minute SL won't get filled and you'll likely to not lose exactly -1R
This is annoying but it can't be fixed - and that's how trading works anyway.
Features
The template gives you flexibility in how you set your stop losses. You can use fixed points, ATR-based stops, percentage-based stops, or even tick-based stops.
Regardless of which method you choose, the position sizing will automatically adjust to maintain your desired risk per trade.
To help you track performance, I've added a comprehensive statistics table in the top right corner of your chart.
It shows you everything you need to know about your strategy's performance in terms of R-multiples: how many R you've won or lost, your win rate, average R per trade, and even your longest winning and losing streaks.
Happy trading!
And remember, measuring your performance in R-multiples is one of the most classical ways to evaluate and improve your trading strategies.

CandelaCharts - Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) 📝 Overview
The Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) indicator is designed to identify and highlight Swing Failure Patterns on a user’s chart. This pattern typically emerges when significant market participants generate liquidity by driving price action to key levels. An SFP occurs when the price temporarily breaks above a resistance level or below a support level, only to quickly reverse and return within the previous range. These movements are often associated with stop-loss hunting or liquidity grabs, providing traders with potential opportunities to anticipate reversals or key market turning points.
A Bullish SFP occurs when the price dips below a key support level, triggering stop-loss orders, but then swiftly reverses upward, signaling a potential upward trend or reversal.
A Bearish SFP happens when the price spikes above a key resistance level, triggering stop-losses of short positions, but then quickly reverses downward, indicating a potential bearish trend or reversal.
The indicator is a powerful tool for traders, helping to identify liquidity grabs and potential reversal points in real-time. By marking bullish and bearish Swing Failure Patterns on the chart, it provides clear visual cues for spotting market traps set by major players, enabling more informed trading decisions and improved risk management.

📒 Usage
The best approach is to combine a few complementary indicators to gain a clearer market perspective. This doesn’t mean relying on the Golden Cross, RSI divergences, SFPs, and funding rates simultaneously, but rather focusing on one or two that align well in a given scenario.
The example above demonstrates the confluence of a Bearish Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) with an RSI divergence. This combination strengthens the signal, as the Bearish SFP indicates a potential reversal after a liquidity grab, while the RSI divergence confirms weakening momentum at the key level. Together, these indicators provide a more robust setup for identifying potential market reversals with greater confidence.
🚨 Alerts
This script provides alert options for all signals.
Bearish Signal
A bearish signal is triggered when a Bearish SFP is formed.
Bullish Signal
A bullish signal is triggered when a Bullish SFP is formed.

IU EMA Channel StrategyIU EMA Channel Strategy
Overview:
The IU EMA Channel Strategy is a simple yet effective trend-following strategy that uses two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) based on the high and low prices. It provides clear entry and exit signals by identifying price crossovers relative to the EMAs while incorporating a built-in Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RTR) for effective risk management.
Inputs ( Settings ):
- RTR (Risk-to-Reward Ratio): Define the ratio for risk-to-reward (default = 2).
- EMA Length: Adjust the length of the EMA channels (default = 100).
How the Strategy Works
1. EMA Channels:
- High-based EMA: EMA calculated on the high price.
- Low-based EMA: EMA calculated on the low price.
The area between these two EMAs creates a "channel" that visually highlights potential support and resistance zones.
2. Entry Rules:
- Long Entry: When the price closes above the high-based EMA (crossover).
- Short Entry: When the price closes below the low-based EMA (crossunder).
These entries ensure trades are taken in the direction of momentum.
3. Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP):
- Stop Loss:
- For long positions, the SL is set at the previous bar's low.
- For short positions, the SL is set at the previous bar's high.
- Take Profit:
- TP is automatically calculated using the Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RTR) you define.
- Example: If RTR = 2, the TP will be 2x the risk distance.
4. Exit Rules:
- Positions are closed at either the stop loss or the take profit level.
- The strategy manages exits automatically to enforce disciplined risk management.
Visual Features
1. EMA Channels:
- The high and low EMAs are dynamically color-coded:
- Green: Price is above the EMA (bullish condition).
- Red: Price is below the EMA (bearish condition).
- The area between the EMAs is shaded for better visual clarity.
2. Stop Loss and Take Profit Zones:
- SL and TP levels are plotted for both long and short positions.
- Zones are filled with:
- Red: Stop Loss area.
- Green: Take Profit area.
Be sure to manage your risk and position size properly.
