Wave Analysis
Market Structures + ZigZag [TradingFinder] CHoCH/BOS - MSS/MSB🟣 Introduction
🔵 Market Structure
Grasping market structure entails examining market behavior. Essentially, market structure refers to the formation and progression of the market within its trends.
Market structures are generally fractal and nested, leading us to classify them into internal (minor) and external (major) structures. There are several definitions of market structure, with differing perspectives such as Smart Money and ICT offering their own interpretations.
🔵 Zig Zag
The Zigzag indicator is a lagging tool that identifies points on a price chart where significant changes occur compared to the previous wave. By connecting these points, it helps traders detect trends.
This indicator minimizes random price fluctuations, aiming to clarify the primary price trend.
Pivots are points on a price chart where the direction changes. Also known as reversal points, pivots form when supply and demand forces overpower one another.
There are various types of technical analysis pivots, which can be divided into two categories: minor pivots and major pivots, each with distinct significance in analysis.
Major Pivot : These pivots signify substantial changes in the chart's direction and occur at the end of trends. Analysts focusing on primary analysis prioritize major pivot points. In fact, most technical analysis tools are evaluated and based on major pivots.
Minor Pivot : These pivots highlight smaller, subsidiary points and directions, appearing at the end of corrections. Analysts who focus on minor pivots represent small trends. It's important to note that minor pivots are not suitable for use in primary technical tools.
Identifying Minor and Major Pivots :
Minor pivots are formed between two major pivots and do not break the opposing major pivot. (Internal Pivot)
Major pivots are those that either successfully break the opposing pivot or move beyond the previous pivot of the same type. (External Pivot)
🟣 How to Use
🔵 Identifying Break of Structure (BOS)
In a given trend, such as a downtrend, a Break of Structure occurs when the price drops below the previous low and forms a new low (LL). In an uptrend, a BOS (MSB) happens when the price rises and exceeds the last high.
To confirm a trend, at least one BOS is required. The break above or below the previous high or low must be validated by the closing of at least one candle beyond that level.
🔵 Identifying Change of Character (CHOCH)
Change of Character (CHOCH) is an essential concept in market structure analysis, indicating a trend change. In other words, a trend concludes with a CHOCH (MSS). For example, in a downtrend, the price declines with BOS.
While BOS highlights the trend's strength, a CHOCH occurs when the price rises and surpasses the last high, signaling a transition from a downtrend to an uptrend.
This does not imply immediately entering a buy trade; instead, it is prudent to wait for a BOS in the upward direction to confirm the uptrend.
Unlike BOS, confirming a CHOCH does not require a candle to close; simply breaking above or below the previous high or low with the candle's wick is sufficient. The following examples illustrate bearish and bullish CHOCH.
Terms :
Market Structure Shift = MSS
Market Structure Break = MSB
🔵 Zig Zag
Based on identifying pivots and drawing zigzag lines, you can have different uses of this indicator.
Including :
Identifying pivot types along with major and minor recognition.
Identifying internal and external breakouts.
Identifying support and resistance levels.
Identifying Elliott Waves.
Identifying classic patterns.
Identifying pivots with higher validity.
Identifying trends and range areas.
🟣 Settings
Pivot Period Market Structure and ZigZag Line: Using this input, you can determine the pivot period for identifying swings.
Through the settings, you can customize the display, visibility, and color of each line as desired.
Wolfe Wave Detector [LuxAlgo]The Wolfe Wave Detector displays occurrences of Wolfe Waves, alongside a target line. A multiple swing detection approach is used to maximize the number of detected waves.
The indicator includes a dashboard with the number of detected waves, as well as the number of reached targets.
🔶 USAGE
The Wolfe Wave pattern is a chart pattern composed of five segments, with the initial segment extremities (points XABCD) forming a channel containing price variations.
After the price reaches point D , we can expect a reversal toward a target line (point E ). The target line is obtained by connecting and extending point X -> C .
The script draws the XABCD pattern and a projection of where E might potentially be located.
The projection is derived from the intersection between the target line and a line starting from D , parallel to B-C . From this line, margins are added, left and right, creating a wedge-shaped figure in most cases.
When the price passes the target line, this is highlighted by a dot. The dot and pattern are green by default when the target is above D and red when the target is below D . Colors can be edited in the settings. The dashed target line is colored in the opposite color.
As seen in the above example, the price trend can reverse after reaching the target line.
🔹 Symmetry
Ideally, the Wolfe Wave must have a degree of symmetry; every upward line should have a similar angle to the other upward lines, and the same should be true for the downward lines.
Also, the lines forming the channel should be as parallel as possible.
Users have the option to adjust the tolerance:
Margin controls the wave symmetry of the pattern
Angle controls the channel symmetry of the pattern
It's important to note that in both cases, a lower number will lead to more symmetrical patterns, but they may appear less frequently.
It is also important to note that increasing the Margin can delay validating the pattern. In the meantime, the price could surpass the channel in the opposite direction, invalidating and deleting the otherwise valid pattern.
🔹 Multiple Swings
Users can set a Minimum Swing length (for example 2) and a Maximum Swing length (for example 100) which defines the range of the swing point detection length, higher values for these settings will detect longer-term Wolfe patterns, while a larger range will allow for the detection of a larger number of patterns.
By using multiple swings, it is possible to find smaller next to larger patterns at the same time.
The dashboard shows the number of patterns found and targets reached. When, for example, bullish patterns are disabled in the settings, the dashboard only shows the results of bearish patterns.
🔹 Extend Target Line
The publication includes a setting that allows the Target Line to be extended up to 50 bars further. As seen in the above example, the Target Line can still be reached even after the pattern has been finalized. Once the Target Line is reached, it won't be updated further.
Here is another example of a Target Line being reached later on.
The Target Line acted as a support level, after which where the price changed direction.
🔹 Show Progression
An option is included to show the progression before the pattern is completed. Users can make use of the XABC pattern or visualize where point D should be positioned.
The focus lies on the bar range (between the left and right borders of the grey rectangle). The pattern is considered invalid and deleted when point D is beyond these limits. The height of the rectangle is optional. Ideally, the price should be located between the top and bottom of the rectangle, but it is not mandatory.
Show Progression has three options including:
Full: Show all lines of XABC plus line C-D and rectangle for the position of point D
Partial: Show line C-D and rectangle for the position of point D
None: Only show valid completed patterns
The 'Partial' option in the 'Show Progression' feature is designed to help users locate the desired position of point D without the visual clutter caused by the XABC lines. This can be useful for those who prefer a cleaner visual representation of the evolving pattern.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Swing Length
Minimum: Minimum length used for the swing detection.
Maximum Swing Length: Maximum length used for the swing detection.
🔹 Tolerance
Margin: Influences the symmetry of the pattern; with a higher number allowing for less symmetry.
Angle: Influences the symmetry of the channel; with a higher number allowing for less symmetry.
🔹 Style

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
How to Trade a Spring:

MAHA Luxmi AI Candles [Overlay]The MAHA Luxmi AI Candles trading indicator is a sophisticated tool designed to assist traders in identifying potential trading opportunities by utilizing a combination of Moving Average (MA) and Heikin-Ashi (HA) techniques, further enhanced with a custom formula. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its functionalities:
1. Integration of MA and HA Techniques
MAHA stands for Moving Average and Heikin-Ashi. This indicator modifies these traditional techniques with a unique custom formula, aiming to provide more accurate and reliable signals for traders. The combination enhances the smoothing effect of Moving Averages with the trend indication of Heikin-Ashi candles.
2. Four-Colored Candles for Trend Indication
The indicator uses a color-coded system to denote different market conditions and potential trading opportunities:
- Green Candles: These candles indicate a potential long opportunity. The appearance of a green candle suggests that the market is showing bullish tendencies, prompting traders to consider entering a long position.
- Blue Candles: These candles signify an active pullback within a bullish trend. The blue candle warns traders of a possible temporary reversal within the overall bullish trend, suggesting caution and the need for confirmation before continuing with a long position or preparing for a potential reversal.
- Red Candles: These candles represent a potential short opportunity. A red candle indicates bearish market conditions, signaling traders to consider entering a short position.
- Yellow Candles: These candles denote an active pullback within a bearish trend. The presence of a yellow candle indicates a temporary reversal within the bearish trend, urging traders to be cautious with short positions and look for signs of continuation or reversal.
3. MAHA Bars for Distance and Area of Interest
In addition to the colored candles, the MAHA Luxmi AI Candles indicator also plots MAHA bars. These bars share the same color coding and usage as the candles, providing a consistent visual representation of market conditions:
- Green Bars: Indicate a potential long opportunity, aligning with green candles.
- Blue Bars: Show an active pullback in a bullish trend, aligning with blue candles.
- Red Bars: Represent a potential short opportunity, aligning with red candles.
- Yellow Bars: Indicate an active pullback in a bearish trend, aligning with yellow candles.
The MAHA bars help traders gauge the distance between the current price and the area of interest, enhancing their understanding of how close or far the price is from key levels identified by the MAHA formula. This aids in making better decisions regarding entry and exit points.
4. Trailing Stop Loss Feature
The base of the MAHA Bars can also be used as a trailing stop loss. This feature provides a dynamic stop loss level that adjusts with the market, helping traders lock in profits and limit losses by following the trend. When the price moves favorably, the trailing stop loss adjusts accordingly, ensuring that traders can capitalize on market movements while minimizing risk.
Usage and Benefits
- Trend Identification: The color-coded system simplifies the identification of market trends and potential reversals, making it easier for traders to understand market dynamics at a glance.
- Pullback and Reversal Alerts: The blue and yellow candles/bars alert traders to potential pullbacks and reversals, providing crucial information for managing trades and avoiding false signals.
- Distance Measurement: The MAHA bars help traders measure the distance between the current price and the areas of interest, enhancing their ability to assess the risk and potential reward of trades.
- Trailing Stop Loss: The base of the MAHA Bars can be used as a trailing stop loss, providing a dynamic risk management tool that adapts to market conditions.
Overall, the MAHA Luxmi AI Candles trading indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to leverage the combined strengths of Moving Averages and Heikin-Ashi techniques.

Fair Value Gaps Setup 01 [TradingFinder] FVG Absorption + CHoCH🔵 Introduction
🟣 Market Structures
Market structures exhibit a fractal and nested nature, which leads us to classify them into internal (minor) and external (major) categories. Definitions of market structure vary, with different methodologies such as Smart Money and ICT offering distinct interpretations.
To identify market structure, the initial step involves examining key highs and lows. An uptrend is characterized by successive highs and lows that are higher than their predecessors. Conversely, a downtrend is marked by successive lows and highs that are lower than their previous counterparts.
🟣 Market Trends and Movements
Market trends consist of two primary types of movements :
Impulsive Movements : These movements align with the main trend and are characterized by high strength and momentum.
Corrective Movements : These movements counter the main trend and are marked by lower strength and momentum.
🟣 Break of Structure (BOS)
In a downtrend, a Break of Structure (BOS) occurs when the price falls below the previous low and establishes a new low (LL). In an uptrend, a BOS, also known as a Market Structure Break (MSB), happens when the price rises above the last high.
To confirm a trend, at least one BOS is necessary, which requires the price to close at least one candle beyond the previous high or low.
🟣 Change of Character (CHOCH)
Change of Character (CHOCH) is a crucial concept in market structure analysis, indicating a shift in trend. A trend concludes with a CHOCH, also referred to as a Market Structure Shift (MSS).
For example, in a downtrend, the price continues to drop with BOS, showcasing the trend's strength. However, when the price rises and exceeds the last high, a CHOCH occurs, signaling a potential transition from a downtrend to an uptrend.
It is essential to note that a CHOCH does not immediately indicate a buy trade. Instead, it is prudent to wait for a BOS in the upward direction to confirm the uptrend. Unlike BOS, a CHOCH confirmation does not require a candle to close; merely breaking the previous high or low with the candle's wick is sufficient.
🟣 Spike | Inefficiency | Imbalance
All these terms mean fast price movement in the shortest possible time.
🟣 Fair Value Gap (FVG)
To pinpoint the "Fair Value Gap" (FVG) on a chart, a detailed candle-by-candle analysis is necessary. This process involves focusing on candles with substantial bodies and evaluating them in relation to the candles immediately before and after them.
Here are the steps :
Identify the Central Candle : Look for a candle with a large body.
Examine Adjacent Candles : The candles before and after this central candle should have long shadows, and their bodies must not overlap with the body of the central candle.
Determine the FVG Range : The distance between the shadows of the first and third candles defines the FVG range.
This method helps in accurately identifying the Fair Value Gap, which is crucial for understanding market inefficiencies and potential price movements.
🟣 Setup
This setup is based on Market Structure and FVG. After a change of character and the formation of FVG in the last lag of the price movement, we are looking for trading positions in the price pullback.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
After forming the setup, you can enter the trade using a pending order or after receiving confirmation. To increase the probability of success, you can adjust the pivot period market structure settings or modify the market movement coefficient in the formation leg of the FVG.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 Setting
Pivot Period of Market Structure Detector :
This parameter allows you to configure the zigzag period based on pivots. Adjusting this helps in accurately detecting order blocks.
Show major Bullish ChoCh Lines :
You can toggle the visibility of the Demand Main Zone and "ChoCh" Origin, and customize their color as needed.
Show major Bearish ChoCh Lines :
Similar to the Demand Main Zone, you can control the visibility and color of the Supply Main Zone and "ChoCh" Origin.
FVG Detector Multiplier Factor :
This feature lets you adjust the size of the moves forming the Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) using the Average True Range (ATR). The default value is 1, suitable for identifying most setups. Adjust this value based on the specific symbol and market for optimal results.
FVG Validity Period :
This parameter defines the validity period of an FVG in terms of the number of candles. By default, an FVG remains valid for up to 15 candles, but you can adjust this period as needed.
Mitigation Level FVG :
This setting establishes the basic level of an FVG. When the price reaches this level, the FVG is considered mitigated.
Level in Low-Risk Zone :
This feature aims to reduce risk by dividing the FVG into two equal areas: "Premium" (upper area) and "Discount" (lower area). For lower risk, ensure that "Demand FVG" is in the "Discount" area and "Supply FVG" in the "Premium" area. This feature is off by default.
Show or Hide :
Given the potential abundance of setups, displaying all on the chart can be overwhelming. By default, only the last setup is shown, but you can enable the option to view all setups.
Alert Settings :
On / Off : Toggle alerts on or off.
Message Frequency : Determine how often alerts are triggered.
Options include :
"All" (alerts every time the function is called)

Trend Identification
By connecting the swing highs and lows, traders can identify and analyze the prevailing trend in the market. An uptrend is characterized by higher swing highs and lows, while a downtrend is characterized by lower highs and lower lows. The indicator helps traders visually to assess the strength and continuity of the trend.
Support And Resistance Levels
The swing highs and lows can act as support and resistance levels. Swing highs may act as resistance levels where selling pressure increases, while swing lows may act as support levels where buying pressure increases. Traders often pay attention to these levels as potential areas for trade entries, exits, or placing stop-loss orders.
Pattern Recognition
The swings identified by the indicator can help traders recognize chart patterns, such as equal high/lows, consolidations, wedges, triangles or more complex patterns like Gartley or Head and Shoulders. These patterns can provide insights into potential trend continuation or reversal.
Trade Entry and Exit
Traders may use TRN ZigZag Pro to determine potential trade entry and exit points. For example, in an uptrend, traders may look for opportunities to enter long positions near swing lows or on pullbacks to support levels. Conversely, in a downtrend, traders may consider short positions near swing highs or on retracements to resistance levels.
Conclusion
While signals from TRN ZigZag Pro can be informative, it is important to recognize that their reliability may vary. Various external factors can impact market prices, and it is essential to consider your risk tolerance and investment goals when executing trades.

ICT KillZones Hunt [TradingFinder] 4 Sessions + OB + FVG + Alert🔵 Introduction
🟣 ICT
The "ICT" style is a subset of "Price Action" technical analysis. The primary goal of the ICT trading strategy is to merge "Price Action" with the "Smart Money" concept to pinpoint optimal trade entry points.
However, this approach's strength extends beyond merely finding entry points. It also helps traders gain a deeper understanding of price behavior and adapt their trading strategies to the market structure.
The most important concepts of "ICT" :
Order Block
Fair Value Gap(FVG)
Liquidity
🟣 Session
Financial markets are divided into several time periods, each featuring distinct characteristics and levels of activity. These periods, known as sessions, are active at different times during the day.
The primary active sessions in financial markets include :
Asian Session
European Session
New York Session
Based on the UTC time zone, the schedule for these key sessions is :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 16:30
New York Session: 13:00 to 22:00
Note
To avoid session overlap and minimize interference during kill zones, the session times have been modified as follows :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 14:25
New York Session: 14:30 to 22:55
🟣 KillZone
Kill zones are periods within a session where trader activity spikes. During these times, trading volume surges, and price movements become more pronounced.
The major kill zones, according to the UTC time zone, are as follows :
Asian Kill Zone: 23:00 to 03:55
European Kill Zone: 07:00 to 09:55
New York Morning Kill Zone: 14:30 to 16:55
New York Evening Kill Zone: 19:30 to 20:55
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Order Block
Order blocks are a distinct category of "Supply and Demand" zones, formed when a series of orders are grouped together. These blocks are often created by banks or other significant market participants.
Banks typically execute large orders in blocks during their trading sessions. If they were to enter the market with small quantities, substantial price movements would occur before the orders were fully executed, reducing potential profit.
To mitigate this, they divide their orders into smaller, more manageable positions. Traders should seek "buy" opportunities in "demand order blocks" and "sell" opportunities in "supply order blocks."
🟣 Fair Value Gap (FVG)
To pinpoint the "Fair Value Gap" on the chart, meticulous candle-by-candle analysis is essential. Pay close attention to candles with significant bodies, examining each candle alongside the one preceding it.
The candles flanking this central candle should exhibit elongated shadows, with bodies that do not intersect the body of the central candle. The span between the shadows of the first and third candles is referred to as the FVG range.
Note :
The origin of all Order Blocks and FVGs starts from inside a kill zone and extends up to the end of the same session.
🟣 Kill Zone Hunt
Following this strategy, after the conclusion of the kill zone and the stabilization of its high and low lines, if the price touches either of these lines within the same session and encounters a robust rejection, it presents an opportunity to enter a trade.
🔵 Setting

Price Reversal Probability + Price Forecast [TradeDots]The TradeDots Price Reversal Probability + Price Forecast Indicator helps traders discern market direction and identify potential trading opportunities.
📝 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator provides two types of reversal signals:
Bullish Reversal: Marked with a green label, indicating an expected upward market reversal.
Bearish Reversal: Marked with a red label, indicating an expected downward market reversal.
⭐️ Computation
This tool identifies significant reversal patterns using a mathematical model on a designated window of candlesticks to calculate price action changes. It incorporates candlestick data and price indicators, such as the Open, Close, High, Low of candlesticks and Average True Range (ATR), to detect similar occurrences in real-time.
Potential market turning points are marked with reversal labels and percentage changes , calculated using pivot high or low price data from the last reversal patterns of the opposite side.
For example, a green label on the chart indicates a bullish reversal pattern, showing the market is expected to reverse upward. However, signals are based on historical price actions and are not 100% accurate. If the price breaks down from the bullish reversal pivot low, the original signal will turn half transparent until the next reversal pattern is detected.
The algorithm groups consecutive bullish reversal patterns until a bearish reversal pattern appears. The last bullish label occurrence indicates the maximum number of bullish patterns required to confirm a reversal in the group. This information is stored to apply Bayesian statistical models and probability models to generate market insights.
⭐️ Statistical Analysis
Reversal signals are categorized into bullish and bearish groups, with each group storing consecutive reversal signals.
In the indicator table, each new reversal is labeled sequentially (e.g., "🟢 #1" for the first bullish reversal after a bearish signal). The number increases for each new signal on the same side and resets when a reversal signal on the opposite side appears.
The indicator provides two forecasts: the probability of reversal and the expected price change if the pattern is successful or unsuccessful.
⭐️ Probability of Reversal
By counting the number of consecutive reversal patterns on one side before a reversal pattern on the opposite side appears, we can calculate the probability of reversal of each signal throughout the entire price action history.
Using Bayes’ Theorem, the probability increases with each consecutive pattern. The values are displayed in the first two columns of the indicator table, with the current condition highlighted in orange.
⭐️ Price Forecast
The price forecast uses the pivot point of the last reversal pattern of the opposite side as a reference for calculating the percentage change.
For example, for a group of bullish patterns, the pivot high of the most recent bearish pattern is taken. A percentage is calculated with the pivot low of all bullish patterns in the same group. Repeating this model throughout the entire historical price action patterns gives the average price percentage difference between all bearish and bullish patterns.
Whenever a new reversal pattern is detected, a price can be forecasted using the percentage difference from the statistical model. The target price is calculated and displayed in the third and fourth columns of the indicator table.

🛠️ HOW TO USE
⭐️ Reversal Signals
There are two types of reversal signals identified by the algorithm that detects reversal patterns using price action analysis with candlestick data and price indicators. When the price breaks out from the labeled pivot, the label will turn half transparent.
Bullish reversal signals: Labeled in green. The number represents the price of the candlestick "low," and the percentage value indicates the price difference from the previous bearish reversal pattern's candlestick "high."
Bearish reversal signals: Labeled in red. The number represents the price of the candlestick "high," and the percentage value indicates the price difference from the previous bullish reversal pattern's candlestick "low."
⭐️ Probability Table
The probability table shows the likelihood of reversal for each number of occurrences of bullish and bearish reversal signals, displayed in the first two columns.
It also shows the target prices for both bullish and bearish conditions for each number of reversal patterns.
⭐️ Price Targets
By combining the probability of reversal and the price forecast, price targets for new reversal patterns are calculated. These insights help traders align their strategies with price action analysis and statistics by simply observing the candlestick chart in real-time.
Bullish Price Target: The average percentage price and probability that the next bearish reversal signal might hit.
Bearish Price Target: The average percentage price and probability that the next bullish reversal signal might hit.
⭐️ Market Trend Panel
The market trend panel is a small table that indicates the market trend using a 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) alongside reversal signals. A bullish reversal pattern above the moving average indicates a "bullish" market, while a bearish reversal pattern below it indicates a "bearish" market. If the price fluctuates around the moving average, it is identified as "choppy."
The panel also shows the risk and reward for each trade by taking the closing bullish and bearish targets from the most recent reversal pattern's price reference. Lastly, it displays the probability of reversal, consistent with the number highlighted in the probability table.
⭐️ Other Visual Aid
Other visual aids visualize the market trend and potential direction for users on the candlestick chart.
Background colors reflect the current market trend (green = bullish, red = bearish, blue = choppy).
A white plotted line represents the moving average for categorizing market trends.
❗️LIMITATIONS
Price targets represent only the mean of percentage differences. Therefore, the price could reverse before hitting either side of the price target.
When the market is in extreme price action or a new market pattern, the price targets may not be forecasted accurately and might move out of the model's range.
This model works best for assets with less price variation and a near-Gaussian distribution in returns. It may be less accurate for assets with random price movements.
CONCLUSION
This indicator uses fundamental statistics and mathematical models to generate reversal probabilities and price forecasts. It does not have the ability to predict the future with certainty. Traders should combine this indicator with other confirmation strategies to make informed investment decisions.

IsAlgo - Reverse Band Strategy► Overview:
The Reverse Band Strategy leverages a custom band indicator combined with a candlestick pattern for trade entries. The strategy initiates trades when a candle closes outside the bands, anticipating that the price will revert inside the bands and reach the opposite side.
► Description:
The Reverse Band Strategy is built around a sophisticated custom band indicator designed to identify potential reversal points in the market. The bands are calculated using a proprietary formula that factors in the trend's slope, the highest and lowest points within the trend, the average price movement, and the number of candles that form the trend. This advanced calculation allows for a dynamic and responsive band that adjusts to market conditions.
Once the band edges are identified, the strategy continuously monitors for candles that close outside these bands. When such a candle is detected, it signals a potential reversal, triggering an entry. The expectation is that the price will revert back inside the bands and move towards the opposite band edge.
How it Works:
Band Calculation: The strategy continuously updates the band edges using the aforementioned factors.aforementioned factors.
Signal Detection: It waits for a candle to close outside the bands.
Trade Entry: When an outside-close candle is detected, the strategy enters a trade expecting the price to revert to the opposite band edge.
Customization: Users can define the characteristics of the entry candle, such as its size relative to previous candles, to ensure it meets specific conditions before triggering a trade.
↑ Long Trade Example:
The entry candle closes below the lower band, indicating a potential upward reversal. The strategy enters a long position expecting the price to move towards the upper band.
↓ Short Trade Example:
The entry candle closes above the upper band, signaling a potential downward reversal. The strategy enters a short position anticipating the price to revert towards the lower band.
► Features and Settings:
⚙︎ Band Customization: Adjust band length, smoothness, and minimum distance to fit different market conditions and trading styles.
⚙︎ Entry Candle: Customize criteria such as candle size, body, and relative position to previous candles to ensure precise entry signals.
⚙︎ Trading Session: This feature allows users to define specific trading hours during which the strategy should operate, ensuring trades are executed only during preferred market periods.
⚙︎ Trading Days: Users can specify which days the strategy should be active, offering the flexibility to avoid trading on specific days of the week.
⚙︎ Backtesting: Enables a backtesting period during which the strategy can be tested over a selected start and end date. This feature can be deactivated if not needed.
⚙︎ Trades: Configure trade direction (long, short, or both), position sizing (fixed or percentage-based), maximum number of open trades, and trade limitations per day or based on band.
⚙︎ Trades Exit: Set profit/loss limits, specify trade duration, or exit based on band reversal signals.
⚙︎ Stop Loss: Various stop-loss methods are available, including a fixed number of pips, ATR-based, or using the highest or lowest price points within a specified number of previous candles. Additionally, trades can be closed after a specific number of candles move in the opposite direction of the trade.
⚙︎ Break Even: This feature adjusts the stop loss to a break-even point once certain conditions are met, such as reaching predefined profit levels, to protect gains.
⚙︎ Trailing Stop: The trailing stop feature adjusts the stop loss as the trade moves into profit, securing gains while potentially capturing further upside.
⚙︎ Take Profit: Up to three take-profit levels can be set using various methods, such as a fixed amount of pips, ATR, or risk-to-reward ratios based on the stop loss. Alternatively, users can specify a set number of candles moving in the direction of the trade.
⚙︎ Alerts: The strategy includes a comprehensive alert system that informs the user of all significant actions, such as trade openings and closings. It supports placeholders for dynamic values like take-profit levels and stop-loss prices.
⚙︎ Dashboard: A visual display provides detailed information about ongoing and past trades on the chart, helping users monitor the strategy's performance and make informed decisions.

Wave LineWave Line is a chart type obtained by plotting the High and Low values in each time interval according to their sequential order. This method produces a continuous line rather than bars, which is beneficial for analyzing changes within each interval rather than focusing on the price range and open/close values. E.g for Wave Analysis.
How to use:
1. Adjust the interval unit and multiplier for the main timeframe.
2. Ideally, select a lower timeframe on your chart, approximately 5 times smaller than the one specified for the script.
3. Lower Timeframe is the timeframe which will be the scripts reference when the high and low of the main timeframe align on a single bar of the opened chart. This timeframe may also be 5-10 times smaller than the main timeframe. It is important to note that this should not be excessively smaller as the script may fail in retrieving data. An alternative method is included to estimate the order if it is not clear in the fetched data.
4. Set a preferred value for Monowave Length, indicating the number of bars a monowave will cover horizontally. Set the value to be half of the Interval Multiplier for the Wave Line to align with the bar chart. However if the multiplier is an odd number, perfect alignment may not be achieved.
5. Ensure that the product of Max Polyline Segments and Monowave length does not exceed 5000, and adjust the value for Max Polyline Segments accordingly.
[GYTS-CE] Signal Provider | WaveTrend 4D with GDMWaveTrend 4D with Gradient Divergence Measure (Community Edition)
🌸 " 📡 Signal Provider" in GoemonYae Trading System (GYTS) 🌸
WaveTrend 4D (WT4D) is an extension of the incredible WaveTrend 3D (2022, Justin Dehorty) . This oscillator elevates the classic WaveTrend by integrating advanced mathematical models for a multi-dimensional view of market momentum, capturing subtle shifts and trends that traditional indicators might miss. Each oscillator layer uses a combination of normalised derivatives, hyperbolic tangent transformations, and dual-pole filtering (John Ehlers' SuperSmoother), providing normalised and smooth signals with minimised lag.
The name "WaveTrend 4D" is derived from the usage of 4 dimensions, representing different frequencies or timeframes. Next to the "fast", "normal" and "slow" frequency, the fourth frequency is called "lethargic" (very slow). This gives the opportunity utilise more dimensions without having abundant signals, since we quantify and filter the quality of signals.
WT4D strives to help discriminating high-quality signals from the indicator by introducing the Gradient Divergence Measure (GDM) and Quantile Median Crosses (QMC). For simplicity, speed and focus, this particular indicator includes only the GDM part. Check the other 🤲Community Edition of this indicator that focuses on the QMC. For GDM, see below for more information.
🌸 --- GRADIENT DIVERGENCE MEASURE (GDM) --- 🌸
💮 Introduction
--
The GDM dynamically calculates a composite measure based on multiple factors. Unlike traditional binary divergence indicators, GDM employs a continuous value system to capture the nuanced dynamics of market behaviour. This methodology allows traders and analysts to assess the potency of divergence signals with greater precision, facilitating more informed decision-making processes.
💮 Methodology
--
The GDM is calculated using a composite formula that integrates various market dynamics. At its core, it consists of six components listed below, each weighted to optimize the indicator's responsiveness to market conditions:
The magnitude of relative change between waves -- A larger difference between the waves, i.e. lower high or higher low could signify a stronger divergence.
The absolute value of the latest wave -- The strength of the latest wave provides insight into the extremity of the market conditions.
Slope of the divergence -- The slope between the two points of divergence essentially measures the rate of change in the frequency\'s value over time. It captures both the direction and the steepness of the indicator’s move between two waves.
The magnitude of relative change of the price -- A divergence means that the oscillator shows an opposite pattern than price action. Thus, if the price makes a significantly higher high or lower low, but the indicator does not, this discrepancy can be used to measure the divergence strength. This components measures the price's extrema during the crosses of the indicator's waves.
Higher timeframe's frequency trend -- Similarly, instead of looking at the price directly, this component measures the more general trend of the price by using the higher timeframe frequency (i.e. the slow frequency when looking at divergences of the normal frequency).
Time duration -- Lastly, the time duration between the two points of a divergence can also be an important factor. A divergence that spans over a longer period might indicate a more significant market sentiment shift.
💮 Tuning the GDM
--
The 6 components discussed above are not independent, e.g. the slope is actually the result of the magnitude between waves, the absolute value and time duration. However, the default GDM is carefully tuned to include all these features without being too sensitive to outliers.
This makes this indicator very user-friendly. The only core parameter is the the "sensitivity". This controls the extent of normalisation between signals, and essentially affects how often strong GDMs appear. At the conservative end (higher sensitivity), the strong GDMs are less frequent but are relatively significant, while with a lower sensitivity the strong GDMs appear more frequent.
💮 GDM on the Oscillator
--
The GDMs are represented by triangles and their value represents the strength. A value close to `1` signifies a strong bearish divergence and thus a possible reversal of continuation of a downtrend. Similarly, a value close to `-1` signifies a strong bullish divergence.
Note that there are two colour sets which can be enabled and disabled. One uses crosses between the fast and normal frequencies (with the slow frequency acting as the price trend with which there should be an opposite interaction -- hence a "divergence"). Similarly, crosses between the normal and slow frequencies (with the lethargic (the most slow) frequency acting as the price trend) are used to find divergences on a higher timeframe.
Another handy feature is a threshold to more strikingly visualise "strong" GDMs.

For QMC, see below for more information.
🌸 --- QUANTILE MEDIAN CROSSES (QMC) --- 🌸
💮 Introduction
--
A powerful approach when working with WaveTrend is to use the frequencies' crossings of the median (zero) line. This would signify a continuation of the reversal. However, not all of those crossings would be trades with a high probability of success. For this reason, we strive to only consider reversals after the most strong trends start to show weakness. We call these reversals the "Quantile Median Crosses" (QMC), deriving the name from the used methodology.
💮 Methodology
--
To find these "most strong trends", we calculate the integral ("the area") of a frequency between all historical median crosses, and take an upper quantile of those integrals. This means that when the frequency is crossing the median in a period of consolidation, the areas between those crosses would be small. But if there was a strong momentum, and the frequency would separate itself significantly from the median and would do so for a long time, its area would be large.
So after considering all the past integrals, we take the upper quantile of those (i.e. sort all integrals and for example take the top 5%) and if the latest trend's integral was in this upper quantile, it is considered "significant". Hence, the name "quantile" in the name "Quantile Median Cross".
💮 QMC on the Oscillator
--
The QMC is shown as a label "🔴" above the median or with "🟢" below the median. The normal frequency has a "bronze" colour, the slow frequency "silver" and the lethargic is "gold". In addition to the labels, there are also diamond shapes in the same colour drawn on the median in the oscillator. This represents the previous median crossing, and helps the user to see between which two points the integral is calculated.

Market Structures SMC [TradingFinder] BOS/CHoCH Major & Minor🟣Introduction
Understanding market structure involves analyzing market behavior. In other words, market structure encompasses how the market forms and evolves within trends.
Market structures are typically fractal and nested, so we categorize them into internal (minor) and external (major) structures. There are various definitions of market structure, with different approaches such as Smart Money and ICT providing their own interpretations.
🟣How to Use
The first step in identifying market structure is to analyze key highs and lows. An uptrend is formed when highs and lows are successively higher than previous ones. Similarly, in a downtrend, lows and highs are successively lower than previous ones.
Market trends consist of two types of movements :
•Impulsive movements
•Corrective movements
Impulsive movements align with the main trend and possess high strength and momentum. Conversely, corrective movements go against the main trend and have lower strength and momentum. The following example illustrates these concepts.
🔵 Identifying Break of Structure (BOS)
In a specific trend, for example in a downtrend, when the price breaks below the previous low and forms a new low (LL), a Break of Structure occurs. In an uptrend, a BOS (Market Structure Break or MSB) happens when the price rises and surpasses the last high.
We need at least one BOS to confirm a trend. Breaking above or below the previous high or low must be confirmed by closing at least one candle after that level.
🔵 Identifying Change of Character (CHOCH)
Change of Character (CHOCH) is a key concept in market structure analysis. A change in structure signals a trend change. In other words, a trend ends with a CHOCH (Market Structure Shift or MSS). For instance, in a downtrend, the price declines with BOS.
BOS indicates the strength of the trend, but when the price increases and surpasses the last high, a CHOCH occurs, signaling a shift from a downtrend to an uptrend.
This does not mean entering a buy trade; instead, we should wait for a BOS in the upward direction to confirm the uptrend. Unlike BOS, confirming a CHOCH does not require a candle to close; simply breaking above or below the previous high or low with the candle's wick is sufficient. The following examples show bearish and bullish CHOCH.
🔵 Range Market Structure
Besides uptrends and downtrends, a third structure often found in the market is the range or sideways structure. In this state, the power of buyers and sellers is almost equal, and the market lacks a clear trend.
Many traders believe that the Forex market ranges 80% of the time. Therefore, it requires a lot of patience to wait for a new trend to start.

ZigZag Smart Trend [TradingFinder] Major & Minor Structured Wave🔵 Introduction
🟣 Zigzag
Zigzag is a lagging indicator; this indicator identifies points on a price chart that have more significant changes than its previous wave and then by connecting these lines to each other, it assists traders in trend detection.
This indicator reduces random price fluctuations and attempts to make the primary price trend clearer.
🟣 Pivot
Pivots are points where the price chart changes direction. Pivots, also called reversal points, form when supply and demand forces dominate one another.
Different types of technical analysis pivots can be introduced into two categories, minor pivots, and major pivots, each of which has a specific meaning in analysis.
Major Pivot : These pivots actually indicate major changes in the direction of the chart and occur at the end of trends. Analysts seeking to reach the primary analysis focus more on major pivot points. In fact, most technical analysis tools are examined and determined based on major pivots.
Minor Pivot : This type of pivot focuses more on small and subsidiary points and directions. Therefore, it occurs at the end of corrections. Analysts focusing on minor pivots represent small trends, and it should be noted that minor pivots are not suitable for use in primary technical tools.
How to identify minor and major pivots :
Minor pivots are pivots formed between two major pivots and fail to break the opposite major pivot.
Major pivots are pivots that have either successfully broken the opposite pivot or have moved more than the previous pivot of the same type.
🔵 How to use
Based on identifying pivots and drawing zigzag lines, you can have various uses for this indicator.

RSI Momentum Waves [Quantigenics]RSI Momentum Waves Indicator
The RSI Momentum Waves Indicator is your intuitive tool for visualizing market strength and trend persistence. It refines the classic RSI by smoothing the data with Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), which help clear out the noise to give you a more accurate picture of where the market’s heading. The parameters - RSI Period, Smoothing Period, Overbought, Oversold, Upper Neutral Zone, and Lower Neutral Zone - are all adjustable, so you can tailor the indicator to different market conditions or your trading style.
How It Works:
RSI Period (RsiPer): Adjusts how far back the RSI looks to calculate its value, affecting its sensitivity.
Smoothing Period (SmoothPer): Dictates how smooth the EMA lines are, balancing between sensitivity and noise reduction.
Overbought (OBLevel) / Oversold (OSLevel) Levels: Set the thresholds where the market might be too stretched in either direction and due for a reversal.
Neutral Zones (UpperNZ / LowerNZ): Define the areas where the market is considered neutral, and trend strength is less clear.
Trading Instructions:
Use the RSI Momentum Waves to gain insights into the market’s momentum and make informed decisions:
For Trend Identification: If the waves are consistently above the 50 line and climbing, the market may be bullish; if below and declining, bearish signals are suggested.
Overbought and Oversold Regions: Entering these areas might indicate a potential reversal. A peak and downturn in the overbought region can signal a sell, while a trough and upturn in the oversold region can indicate a buy.
Neutral Zone Caution: In the neutral zones, exercise caution and wait for a breakout in either direction for stronger signals.
Confirm with Other Analysis: Never rely solely on one indicator. Confirm the RSI Momentum Waves signals with other technical indicators or fundamental analysis for best practices.
Remember, the goal is to detect the rhythm of the market’s momentum and act accordingly. Happy trading!

Histogram High/Lows: Option to display critical high and low levels of the histogram for easy referencing.
Candle Colours: Select between neutral or traditional candle colors to match your analytical preferences.
When in strong trends, you can use the average table to determine when to look to get into a position. This example we are in a strong downtrend, we then see the histogram growing above the average in these conditions which is where we should look to get into a shorting position.
Strategic Applications
The AMACD serves not just as an indicator but as a comprehensive analytical tool for spotting market trends, momentum shifts, and potential reversal points. It's particularly useful for traders to:
Spot Momentum Changes Utilise dynamic coloring and streak tracking to alert shifts in momentum, helping anticipate market movements.
Identify Market Extremes Use high and low markers to spot potential market turning points, aiding in risk management and decision-making.
Alert Conditions
Above Average Movement Alerts: Triggered when the duration of the MACD histogram's growth or decline is unusually long, these alerts signal sustained momentum:
Above Zero: Alerts for both growing and declining movements above zero, indicating either continued bullish trends or potential bearish reversals.
Below Zero: Alerts for growth and decline below zero, pointing to potential bullish reversals or confirmed bearish trends.
High/Low Break Alerts: Activated when the histogram reaches new highs or falls to new lows beyond the set thresholds, these alerts are crucial for identifying shifts in market dynamics:
Break Above Last High: Indicates a potential upward trend as the histogram surpasses recent highs.
Break Below Last Low: Warns of a possible downward trend as the histogram drops below recent lows.
These alert conditions enable traders to automate part of their market monitoring or potential to automate the signals to take action elsewhere.
Smart Money Setup 06 [TradingFinder] Liquidity Sweeps + OB Swing🔵 Introduction
Smart Money, managed by large investors, injects significant capital into financial markets by entering real capital markets.
Capital entering the market by this group of individuals is called smart money. Traders can profit from financial markets by following such individuals.
Therefore, smart money can be considered one of the effective methods for analyzing financial markets.
Sometimes, before a market movement, fluctuation movements that create price movement cause many traders' "Stop Loss" to be triggered. These movements are created in various patterns.
One of these patterns is similar to an "Expanding Triangle", which touches the stop loss of individuals who have placed their stop loss in the cash area in the form of 5 consecutive openings.
To better understand this setup, pay attention to the images below.

🔵 Settings
You have access to "Pivot Period", "Order Block Refine", and "Refine Mode" through settings.
By changing the "Pivot Period", you can change the range of zigzag that identifies the setup.
Through "Order Block Refine", you can specify whether you want to refine the width of the order blocks or not. It is set to "On" by default.
Through "Refine Mode", you can specify how to improve order blocks.
If you are "risk-averse", you should set it to "Defensive" mode because in this mode, the width of the order blocks decreases, the number of your trades decreases, and the "reward-to-risk ratio "increases.
If you are on the opposite side and are "risk-taker", you can set it to "Aggressive" mode. In this mode, the width of the order blocks increases, and the likelihood of losing positions decreases.

WT4D strives to help discriminating high-quality signals from the indicator by introducing the Gradient Divergence Measure (GDM) and Quantile Median Crosses (QMC) -- see below for more information.
WaveTrend 4D is a "📡 Signal Provider" in the 🌸 GoemonYae Trading System (GYTS) 🌸. Multiple 📡 Signal Providers connect to a GYTS "🧬 Flux Composer" to find confluence. On its turn, the Flux Composer can be connected to the GYTS "🎼 Order Orchestrator" for backtesting and trade automation. However, WaveTrend 4D is a wonderful indicator on its own as well.
🌸 --- MAIN FEATURES --- 🌸
- The focus is on two type of signals: divergences between the overall trend and the waves (GDM) and the weakening of strong trends (QMC)
- The name "WaveTrend 4D" is derived from the usage of 4 dimensions, representing different frequencies or timeframes. This gives the opportunity to use 2 sets of 3 frequencies to find divergences. Next to the "fast", "normal" and "slow" frequency, the fourth frequency is called "lethargic" (very slow).
- High probability trading involves diligently determining the significance of signals. For this purpose, a novel "Gradient Divergence Measure" (GDM) is developed to signify the strength of divergence signals and are drawn as triangles next to the divergence circles.
- Another and powerful approach is to use the frequencies' crossing of the median (zero) line. We seek to only signal reversals after a significant trend, and call this the "Quantile Median Crosses" (QMC).
More information the GDM and QMC and details of all features are described below.
🌸 --- GRADIENT DIVERGENCE MEASURE (GDM) --- 🌸
💮 Introduction
--
The GDM dynamically calculates a composite measure based on multiple factors. Unlike traditional binary divergence indicators, GDM employs a continuous value system to capture the nuanced dynamics of market behaviour. This methodology allows traders and analysts to assess the potency of divergence signals with greater precision, facilitating more informed decision-making processes.
💮 Methodology
--
The GDM is calculated using a composite formula that integrates various market dynamics. At its core, it consists of six components listed below, each weighted to optimize the indicator's responsiveness to market conditions:
The magnitude of relative change between waves -- A larger difference between the waves, i.e. lower high or higher low could signify a stronger divergence.
The absolute value of the latest wave -- The strength of the latest wave provides insight into the extremity of the market conditions.
Slope of the divergence -- The slope between the two points of divergence essentially measures the rate of change in the frequency\'s value over time. It captures both the direction and the steepness of the indicator’s move between two waves.
The magnitude of relative change of the price -- A divergence means that the oscillator shows an opposite pattern than price action. Thus, if the price makes a significantly higher high or lower low, but the indicator does not, this discrepancy can be used to measure the divergence strength. This components measures the price's extrema during the crosses of the indicator's waves.
Higher timeframe's frequency trend -- Similarly, instead of looking at the price directly, this component measures the more general trend of the price by using the higher timeframe frequency (i.e. the slow frequency when looking at divergences of the normal frequency).
Time duration -- Lastly, the time duration between the two points of a divergence can also be a factor. A divergence that spans over a longer period might indicate a more significant market sentiment shift.
Note that these 6 components are not independent, e.g. the slope is actually the result of the magnitude between waves, the absolute value and time duration. However, the default GDM is carefully tuned to include all these features without being too sensitive to outliers.
💮 Tuning the GDM
--
At the same time, different people have different ideas of what factors are important to denote a "strong" divergence. For this reason, in the 🧰 Professional Edition of this indicator, as opposed to the 🤲 Community Edition, the user can select between different "GDM profiles" that resemble a certain approach:
Upon initiating the GDM indicator, users are prompted to select one of six distinct profiles. Each profile adjusts the indicator’s parameters to optimize performance under different market scenarios:
balanced : Offers a general approach, with a balanced assessment of market conditions without specific focus on any one aspect.
regular divergence : Emphasises price action, ideal for identifying classical divergence patterns where price and momentum diverge.
wavetrend focus : Minimises the influence of price action, concentrating on the WaveTrend oscillator’s behaviour for trend analysis.
short-term waves : Prioritises the slope of the waves, targeting traders interested in short-term market movements and potential inflection points.
long-term waves : Extends the analysis period, focusing on longer-term market trends and wave duration for strategic positioning.
overbought/oversold : Highlights extreme conditions in market valuation, useful for identifying potential reversal points from overbought or oversold levels.
The 🎩 Ultimate Edition takes it a step further and gives full freedom to dial in weights for each of the 6 components. The GDM formula is set up in such way to accommodate ease of use and react logically to these parameters. Having said that, the default GDM calculation should be more than sufficient for most cases.
Another way of tuning the GDM is to dial in the "sensitivity". This controls the extent of normalisation between signals, and essentially affects how often strong GDMs appear. At the conservative end (higher sensitivity), the strong GDMs are less frequent but are relatively significant, while with a lower sensitivity the strong GDMs appear more frequent.
💮 GDM on the Oscillator
--
Coming back to the indicator, the GDMs are represented by triangles and their value represents the strength. A value close to `1` signifies a strong bearish divergence and thus a possible reversal of continuation of a downtrend. Similarly, a value close to `-1` signifies a strong bullish divergence.
Note that there are two colour sets which can be enabled and disabled. One uses crosses between the fast and normal frequencies (with the slow frequency acting as the price trend with which there should be an opposite interaction -- "divergence"). Similarly, crosses between the normal and slow frequencies (with the lethargic (the most slow) frequency acting as the price trend) are used to find divergences on a higher timeframe.
🌸 --- QUANTILE MEDIAN CROSSES (QMC) --- 🌸
💮 Introduction
--
A different and powerful approach is to use the frequencies' crossing of the median (zero) line. This would signify a continuation of the reversal. However, also here, not all of those crossings would be trades with a high probability of success. For this reason, we seek to only consider reversals after the most strong trends start to show weakness. We call these reversals the "Quantile Median Crosses" (QMC), derived from the methodology.
💮 Methodology
--
To find this "most strong trends", we calculate the integral ("the area") of a frequency between all historical median crosses, and take an upper quantile of those integrals. This means that when the series is crossing the median in often (consolidation), the ares between those crosses would be small. But if there was a strong momentum, and the series would separate itself significantly from the median and would do so for a long time, its area would be large.
So after considering all the past integrals, we take the upper quantile of those (i.e. sort all integral and for example take the top 5%) and if the latest trend's integral was in this upper quantile, it is considered "significant". Hence, the name "quantile" in the name "Quantile Median Cross"
💮 Tuning the QMC
--
The QMC is easily tuned by its "sensitivity". This basically represents a set of quantile bounds for the normal, slow and lethargic series. We have set these 3 parameters for each sensitivity profile after careful testing. The 🎩 Ultimate Edition gives full control for each quantile bound.
💮 QMC on the Oscillator
--
The QMC is shown as a label "🔴" above the median or with "🟢" below the median. In the 🎩 Ultimate Edition, the user instead sees the exact quantile and the number of samples. The normal frequency has a "bronze" colour, the slow frequency "silver" and the lethargic is "gold". In addition to the labels, there are also diamond shapes in the same colour drawn on the median in the oscillator. This represents the previous median crossing, and helps the user to see between which two points the integral is calculated.
🌸 --- DETAILED FEATURES --- 🌸
As discussed, at its core, the main signals are the Gradient Divergence Signals (GDM) and Quantile Median Crosses (QMC). However, there are more very powerful features that this 📡 Signal Provider can include. Below is a list of all features and we differentiate the availability of a feature per 📡 Signal Provider version by using these icons: 🤲 Community Edition; 🧰 Professional Edition; 🎩 Ultimate Edition.
Before going into the features, there are two important aspects to note: As this is a 📡 Signal Provider, it can be connected to the GYTS 🧬 Flux Composer and this is possible for each edition (i.e. the 🤲 Community Edition 📡 Signal Composer works with the 🤲 Community Edition 🧬 Flux Composer, and the same holds for the 🧰 Professional and 🎩 Ultimate Editions). Contrary to most other indicators that connect with each other, the signals that are passed are not just binary signals ("buy" or "sell") but pass the actual GDM and QMC values. This gives the opportunity in the 🧬 Flux Composer to more accurately use multiple signals with different strengths to finally give an overall signal.
The second important aspect is that for the 🤲 Community Edition, there are two versions of this 📡 Signal Provider: one that has the GDM feature and another the QMC feature. Besides that, the list below depicts a fairly complete overview of all the features across different versions:
( 🤲 🧰 🎩 ) Four Dimensions -- All four dimensions are available for each edition. The input data can also be transformed with an EMA or CoG as in the original WaveTrend 3D.
( -- 🧰 🎩 ) Both GDM and QMC -- Only the Pro and Ult versions include both the GDM and QMC in one indicator
( 🤲 🧰 🎩 ) Custom indicator name -- There's an option to give a name to the indicator which will be displayed on the chart. On its own, it might not be helpful, but in the GoemonYae Trading System (GYTS) suite, it helps to identify the different Signal Providers.
( 🤲 🧰 🎩 ) Visual improvements -- As in the original WaveTrend 3D, there are various ways the indicator can be displayed, including emphasising a certain frequency, a "mirror mode" and separating each frequency. We have expanded on some of these options. For example, the divergences, GDMs and QMCs are also displayed when the frequencies are separated, the mirror mode works with the emphasised frequency, there are more options to control the width of the emphasised frequency and each frequency can be enabled or disabled.
( 🤲 🧰 🎩 ) Support for HTF -- The indicator works on higher timeframes than the current chart and all parameters and calculations are scaled accordingly.
( __ 🧰 🎩 ) Support for other tickers -- There is also an option to select another ticker than the current chart. This especially makes sense in the 🌸 GYTS suite 🌸, where multiple Signal Providers are combined to find confluence. For example, a common approach is to use a certain ETF (or BTC in crypto) on a higher timeframe as filter to determine overall market direction.
( __ __ 🎩 ) Disable "only true divergences" -- In the Ultimate Edition, less signals can be filtered out when disabling looking at the third frequency. In general, this is not the best idea but it can be helpful when filtering signals with other means.
( __ 🧰 __ ) GDM profiles -- As mentioned, the GDM is carefully tuned and we consider it an excellent method to signify the strength of a divergence. Therefore, the standard calculation in the Community Edition is sufficient. Nevertheless, the Pro Edition has profiles (as previously described) so the user can select how (s)he feels a "strong divergence" should be.
( __ __ 🎩 ) GDM weights -- Full control over the weights of the 6 components of the GDM instead of using the profiles. The GDM algorithm is set up in such way that this is possible in an intuitive way.
( __ __ 🎩 ) Disable asymmetric GDM calculation -- Calculate the bullish and bearish GDMs independently (asymmetric calculation) or normalise them altogether (symmetric calculation). This can sometimes be helpful to filter out weaker GDMs depending on market conditions.
( 🤲 🧰 🎩 ) QMC calculation -- Using the QMC is possible in all versions, and each of the Normal, Slow and Lethargic frequencies can be toggled on and off.
( __ 🧰 __ ) QMC sensitivity -- Similar to the GDM profiles, in the Pro version there are presets to make the sensitivity higher (and thus get more signals) or lower.
( __ __ 🎩 ) QMC quantile threshold -- Instead of the sensitivity presets, in the Ult Edition the quantile threshold for each frequency is set. The user also sees the actual quantile and number of samples in the label
( 🤲 🧰 🎩 ) WaveTrend 4D settings -- Possibility to adjust the core WaveTrend settings
( 🤲 🧰 🎩 ) Alerts -- When alerts are enabled, TradingView will notify when there is a bullish/bearish strong GDM (i.e. within the zone) and a bullish/bearish QMC.

Bull Bear Trend IndicatorIntroduction: Origin of the Swing Point Indicator
In the quest for a reliable indicator that accurately predicts trend directions and identifies valid highs and lows, the genesis of the Swing Point Indicator emerged. Faced with the challenge of finding a tool that provided comprehensive market analysis and actionable insights, the need for a novel solution became evident. Combining insights gleaned from market analysis and innovative algorithmic approaches, the Swing Point Indicator was born.
Enhanced Feature: Highs and Lows Labeling in Trend Direction
In addition to its core functionalities, the Swing Point Indicator incorporates an advanced feature that enhances the visualization of trend direction. This feature provides further clarity by selectively labeling highs and lows based on the prevailing trend, reinforcing the identification of higher highs and lower lows in uptrends and downtrends, respectively. Overlapping labels on highs and lows signify a potential trend change, providing traders with valuable insight into market reversals.
Detailed Description:
1. Uptrend Labeling:
- Higher Highs (Green Label with Price): In an uptrend, where higher highs are observed, the indicator labels these points with vibrant green color and includes the corresponding price value. This visually highlights the significance of higher highs as pivotal points in the upward trajectory of prices.
- Higher Lows (Red Marker without Text or Diamond): To complement the identification of higher highs, higher lows are marked with a distinct red marker or diamond, devoid of any accompanying text. While these points are crucial in delineating the ascending trend, their emphasis lies in their role as support levels, providing a foundation for upward price movements.
2. Downtrend Labeling:
- Lower Lows (Red Label with Price): Conversely, in a downtrend characterized by lower lows, the indicator labels these points with conspicuous red color, accompanied by the corresponding price value. Lower lows signify critical levels of downward price momentum, acting as indicators of potential bearish continuation.
- Lower Highs (Green Marker without Text or Diamond): Lower highs, indicative of downward retracements in a downtrend, are marked by distinctive green markers or diamonds without accompanying text. While these points denote temporary pauses or pullbacks in the bearish trend, their emphasis lies in their role as resistance levels, impeding upward price movements.
Functionality and Utility:
- Customizable Lookback Candle Count: Traders have the option to adjust the lookback candle count, which is set by default at 108 candles in the settings. This flexibility allows traders to tailor the indicator to their specific trading preferences and timeframes.
- Equal Highs or Lows Option: When enabled, the Swing Point Indicator can identify equal highs or equal lows, providing traders with additional insight into market dynamics.
- Formation Confirmation: A new higher high along with its higher low or a new lower low along with its lower high is confirmed after two candles have closed following the swing point candle. This ensures the reliability of the identified trend direction.
Conclusion:
The incorporation of selective labeling for highs and lows based on trend direction, alongside the introduction of customizable settings and formation confirmation criteria, enhances the effectiveness of the Swing Point Indicator. This feature-rich tool empowers traders with a nuanced understanding of market dynamics, highlighting critical price levels and trend reversals. By offering enhanced visualization, customizable options, and confirmation criteria, the Swing Point Indicator equips traders with the confidence and precision needed to navigate the markets successfully, contributing to more informed and profitable trading strategies.
