Adaptive RSI-Stoch with Butterworth Filter [UAlgo]The Adaptive RSI-Stoch with Butterworth Filter is a technical indicator designed to combine the strengths of the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic Oscillator, and a Butterworth Filter to provide a smooth and adaptive momentum-based trading signal. This custom-built indicator leverages the RSI to measure market momentum, applies Stochastic calculations for overbought/oversold conditions, and incorporates a Butterworth Filter to reduce noise and smooth out price movements for enhanced signal reliability.
By utilizing these combined methods, this indicator aims to help traders identify potential market reversal points, momentum shifts, and overbought/oversold conditions with greater precision, while minimizing false signals in volatile markets.
🔶 Key Features
Adaptive RSI and Stochastic Oscillator: Calculates RSI using a configurable period and applies a dual-smoothing mechanism with Stochastic Oscillator values (K and D lines).
Helps in identifying momentum strength and potential trend reversals.
Butterworth Filter: An advanced signal processing filter that reduces noise and smooths out the indicator values for better trend identification.
The filter can be enabled or disabled based on user preferences.
Customizable Parameters: Flexibility to adjust the length of RSI, the smoothing factors for Stochastic (K and D values), and the Butterworth Filter period.
🔶 Interpreting the Indicator
RSI & Stochastic Calculations:
The RSI is calculated based on the closing price over the user-defined period, and further smoothed to generate Stochastic Oscillator values.
The K and D values of the Stochastic Oscillator provide insights into short-term overbought or oversold conditions.
Butterworth Filter Application:
What is Butterworth Filter and How It Works?
The Butterworth Filter is a type of signal processing filter that is designed to have a maximally flat frequency response in the passband, meaning it doesn’t distort the frequency components of the signal within the desired range. It is widely used in digital signal processing and technical analysis to smooth noisy data while preserving the important trends in the underlying data. In this indicator, the Butterworth Filter is applied to the trigger value, making the resulting signal smoother and more stable by filtering out short-term fluctuations or noise in price data.
Key Concepts Behind the Butterworth Filter:
Filter Design: The Butterworth filter works by calculating weighted averages of current and past inputs (price or indicator values) and outputs to produce a smooth output. It is characterized by the absence of ripple in the passband and a smooth roll-off after the cutoff frequency.
Cutoff Frequency: The period specified in the indicator acts as a control for the cutoff frequency. A higher period means the filter will remove more high-frequency noise and retain longer-term trends, while a lower period means it will respond more to short-term fluctuations in the data.
Smoothing Process: In this script, the Butterworth Filter is calculated recursively using the following formula,
butterworth_filter(series float input, int period) =>
float wc = math.tan(math.pi / period)
float k1 = 1.414 * wc
float k2 = wc * wc
float a0 = k2 / (1 + k1 + k2)
float a1 = 2 * a0
float a2 = a0
float b1 = 2 * (k2 - 1) / (1 + k1 + k2)
float b2 = (1 - k1 + k2) / (1 + k1 + k2)
wc: This is the angular frequency, derived from the period input.
k1 and k2: These are intermediate coefficients used in the filter calculation.
a0, a1, a2: These are the feedforward coefficients, which determine how much of the current and past input values will contribute to the filtered output.
b1, b2: These are feedback coefficients, which determine how much of the past output values will contribute to the current output, effectively allowing the filter to "remember" past behavior and smooth the signal.
Recursive Calculation: The filter operates by taking into account not only the current input value but also the previous two input values and the previous two output values. This recursive nature helps it smooth the signal by blending the recent past data with the current data.
float filtered_value = a0 * input + a1 * prev_input1 + a2 * prev_input2
filtered_value -= b1 * prev_output1 + b2 * prev_output2
input: The current input value, which could be the trigger value in this case.
prev_input1, prev_input2: The previous two input values.
prev_output1, prev_output2: The previous two output values.
This means the current filtered value is determined by the combination of:
A weighted sum of the current input and the last two inputs.
A correction based on the last two output values to ensure smoothness and remove noise.
In conclusion when filter is enabled, the Butterworth Filter smooths the RSI and Stochastic values to reduce market noise and highlight significant momentum shifts.
The filtered trigger value (post-Butterworth) provides a cleaner representation of the market's momentum.
Cross Signals for Trade Entries:
Buy Signal: A bullish crossover of the K value above the D value, particularly when the values are below 40 and when the Stochastic trigger is below 1 and the filtered trigger is below 35.
Sell Signal: A bearish crossunder of the K value below the D value, particularly when the values are above 60 and when the Stochastic trigger is above 99 and the filtered trigger is above 90.
These signals are plotted visually on the chart for easy identification of potential trading opportunities.
Overbought and Oversold Zones:
The indicator highlights the overbought zone when the filtered trigger surpasses a specific threshold (typically above 100) and the oversold zone when it drops below 0.
The color-coded fill areas between the Stochastic and trigger lines help visualize when the market may be overbought (likely a reversal down) or oversold (potential reversal up).

Sinc MAKaiser Windowed Sinc Moving Average Indicator
The Kaiser Windowed Sinc Moving Average is an advanced technical indicator that combines the sinc function with the Kaiser window to create a highly customizable finite impulse response (FIR) filter for financial time series analysis.
Sinc Function: The Ideal Low-Pass Filter
At the core of this indicator is the sinc function, which represents the impulse response of an ideal low-pass filter. In signal processing and technical analysis, the sinc function is crucial because it allows for the creation of filters with precise frequency cutoff characteristics. When applied to financial data, this means the ability to separate long-term trends from short-term fluctuations with remarkable accuracy.
The primary advantage of using a sinc-based filter is the independent control over two critical parameters: the cutoff frequency and the number of samples used. The cutoff frequency, analogous to the "length" in traditional moving averages, determines which price movements are considered significant (low frequency) and which are treated as noise (high frequency). By adjusting the cutoff, analysts can fine-tune the filter to respond to specific market cycles or timeframes of interest.
The number of samples used in the filter doesn't affect the cutoff frequency but instead influences the filter's accuracy and steepness. Increasing the sample size results in a better approximation of the ideal low-pass filter, leading to sharper transitions between passed and attenuated frequencies. This allows for more precise trend identification and noise reduction without changing the fundamental frequency response characteristics.
Kaiser Window: Optimizing the Sinc Filter
While the sinc function provides excellent frequency domain characteristics, it has infinite length in the time domain, which is impractical for real-world applications. This is where the Kaiser window comes into play. By applying the Kaiser window to the sinc function, we create a finite-length filter that approximates the ideal response while minimizing unwanted oscillations (known as the Gibbs phenomenon) in the frequency domain.
The Kaiser window introduces an additional parameter, alpha, which controls the trade-off between the main-lobe width and side-lobe levels in the frequency response. This parameter allows users to fine-tune the filter's behavior, balancing between sharp cutoffs and minimal ripple effects.
Customizable Parameters
The Kaiser Windowed Sinc Moving Average offers several key parameters for customization:
Cutoff: Controls the filter's cutoff frequency, determining the divide between trends and noise.
Length: Sets the number of samples used in the FIR filter calculation, affecting the filter's accuracy and computational complexity.
Alpha: Influences the shape of the Kaiser window, allowing for fine-tuning of the filter's frequency response characteristics.
Centered and Non-Centered Modes
The indicator provides two operational modes:
Non-Centered (Real-time) Mode: Uses half of the windowed sinc function, suitable for real-time analysis and current market conditions.
Centered Mode: Utilizes the full windowed sinc function, resulting in a zero-phase filter. This mode introduces a delay but offers the most accurate trend identification for historical analysis.
Visualization Features
To enhance the analytical value of the indicator, several visualization options are included:
Gradient Coloring: Offers a range of color schemes to represent trend direction and strength.
Glow Effect: An optional visual enhancement for improved line visibility.
Background Fill: Highlights the area between the moving average and price, aiding in trend visualization.
Applications in Technical Analysis
The Kaiser Windowed Sinc Moving Average is particularly useful for precise trend identification, cycle analysis, and noise reduction in financial time series. Its ability to create custom low-pass filters with independent control over cutoff and filter accuracy makes it a powerful tool for analyzing various market conditions and timeframes.
Compared to traditional moving averages, this indicator offers superior frequency response characteristics and reduced lag in trend identification when properly tuned. It provides greater flexibility in filter design, allowing analysts to create moving averages tailored to specific trading strategies or market behaviors.
Conclusion
The Kaiser Windowed Sinc Moving Average represents an advanced approach to price smoothing and trend identification in technical analysis. By making the ideal low-pass filter characteristics of the sinc function practically applicable through Kaiser windowing, this indicator provides traders and analysts with a sophisticated tool for examining price trends and cycles.
Its implementation in Pine Script contributes to the TradingView community by making advanced signal processing techniques accessible for experimentation and further development in technical analysis. This indicator serves not only as a practical tool for market analysis but also as an educational resource for those interested in the intersection of signal processing and financial markets.

Deep Crab Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Reversal Zones🔵 Introduction
The Deep Crab pattern is a 5-point extension harmonic structure (X-A-B-C-D) used in technical analysis to identify potential reversal points in financial markets. Like the original Crab pattern, it heavily relies on a 1.618 XA projection to form the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ).
However, the key difference lies in the B point, which must be an 0.886 retracement of the XA leg. The D point in this pattern typically extends beyond the X point, signaling a strong potential reversal in price movement.
Bullish Deep Crab :
The Bullish Deep Crab is a pattern used in technical analysis to spot potential trend reversals. It signals a shift from a downtrend to an uptrend. Traders enter a buy position at the D point and set a stop-loss below point X, anticipating a price increase.
Bearish Deep Crab :
The Bearish Deep Crab is a reversal pattern that indicates the potential end of an uptrend. Traders enter a sell position at point D and set a stop-loss above point X, expecting the price to fall afterward.
🟣 Crab Vs Deep Crab
The Crab and Deep Crab patterns are both used to identify reversal points in technical analysis, but they differ in terms of correction depth :
Crab : The B point retraces between 38.2% to 61.8% of the XA leg, and point D extends beyond X, indicating a price reversal after a smaller correction.
Deep Crab : The B point retraces more deeply, around 88.6% of the XA leg, and point D has a stronger extension, signaling a reversal after a deeper correction.
The Deep Crab is more suited for identifying stronger price movements.
🔵 How to Use
To effectively use the Deep Crab pattern, it’s essential to correctly identify its five key points (X, A, B, C, and D) based on Fibonacci retracements and extensions. Traders look for a deep retracement at point B, followed by an extended move to point D, which typically signals a strong price reversal.
Once these points are established, traders can strategically enter positions at point D with appropriate stop-loss and take-profit levels, capitalizing on the anticipated market reversal. Proper use of Fibonacci tools is crucial for accurate pattern identification.
🟣 Bullish Deep Crab
To use the Bullish Deep Crab pattern, a trader identifies point D as the key price reversal point in a downtrend. Using Fibonacci tools, points X, A, B, and C are identified, with point B showing an 88.6% retracement of XA, and CD extending 1.618% of XA.
The trader enters a buy position at point D and sets a stop-loss below X, expecting a reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend.
🟣 Bearish Deep Crab
In the Bearish Deep Crab pattern, point D acts as the reversal point in an uptrend. After identifying points X, A, B, and C, D extends 1.618% of XA. Point B retraces 88.6% of XA. Traders enter a sell position at point D and place a stop-loss above X, anticipating a drop in price.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Logical Setting

🟣 Alert Setting
Alert : On / Off
Message Frequency : This string parameter defines the announcement frequency. Choices include: "All" (activates the alert every time the function is called), "Once Per Bar" (activates the alert only on the first call within the bar), and "Once Per Bar Close" (the alert is activated only by a call at the last script execution of the real-time bar upon closing). The default setting is "Once per Bar".
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : The date, hour, and minute you receive in alert messages can be based on any time zone you choose. For example, if you want New York time, you should enter "UTC-4". This input is set to the time zone "UTC" by default.
🔵 Conclusion
The Deep Crab pattern is a valuable reversal tool in technical analysis, known for its deep retracement and extended price movements.
Unlike other harmonic patterns, it emphasizes identifying critical points where price action is likely to reverse sharply. This pattern works well in both bullish and bearish market scenarios, offering clear signals for entry and exit points.
However, successful application requires a deep understanding of market behavior and precise use of technical tools like Fibonacci retracement. Overall, mastering this pattern can enhance trading strategies and risk management.
Password Generator by Chervolino [CHE]Enhancing Password Security with Pine Script: A Deep Dive into Brute-Force Attack Prevention
1. Introduction: The Importance of Password Security
Why Password Security Matters:
In today’s digital age, protecting sensitive information through strong passwords is vital. Weak passwords are vulnerable to brute-force attacks, where attackers try every possible character combination until they guess the correct one.
What is Pine Script?
Pine Script is a scripting language developed by TradingView. While mainly used for financial analysis and strategy creation, its versatility allows us to explore other domains, such as password generation and security analysis.
2. Understanding Brute-Force Attacks
What is a Brute-Force Attack?
A brute-force attack systematically tries every possible combination of characters until the correct password is found. The longer and more complex the password, the more secure it is.
Types of Characters in Passwords:
Lowercase Letters (26 characters): Examples include 'a' to 'z'.
Uppercase Letters (26 characters): Examples include 'A' to 'Z'.
Digits (10 characters): Examples include '0' to '9'.
Special Characters: Characters such as '!@#$%^&*' add further complexity to a password.
3. The Role of Password Length in Security
Why Does Password Length Matter?
The number of possible combinations grows exponentially as the length of the password increases.
For example, a password made of only lowercase letters has 26 possible characters. A 7-character password in this case has 26 raised to the power of 7 possible combinations, which equals about 8 billion possibilities.
In comparison, if uppercase letters are included, the possible combinations jump to 52 raised to the power of 7, resulting in over 1 trillion combinations.
Time to Crack a Password:
Assuming a computer can test 2.15 billion passwords per second:
A 7-character password with only lowercase letters can be cracked in about 3.74 seconds.
If uppercase letters are added, it takes approximately 8 minutes.
Adding numbers and special characters makes the cracking time increase further to hours or even days.
4. Password Strength Analysis Using Pine Script
How Pine Script Helps in Password Analysis:
Pine Script can simulate password strength by generating random passwords and calculating how long it would take for a brute-force attack to crack them based on different character combinations and lengths.
We can experiment with using different types of characters (uppercase, lowercase, digits, special characters) and varying the length of the password to estimate the security.
For example:
A password consisting only of lowercase letters would take just a few seconds to crack.
By adding uppercase letters, the time increases to several minutes.
Including digits and special characters can make a password secure for many hours, or even days, depending on the length.
5. Results: Time to Crack Passwords
Here’s a textual summary of how different passwords can be cracked based on their composition and length:
Password with Lowercase Letters Only:
Length: 8 characters
Time to Crack: Less than 1 second.
Password with Uppercase and Lowercase Letters:
Length: 8 characters
Time to Crack: Approximately 24 hours.
Password with Uppercase, Lowercase, and Digits:
Length: 8 characters
Time to Crack: Around 27 minutes.
Password with Uppercase, Lowercase, Digits, and Special Characters:
Length: 12 characters
Time to Crack: Several hundred years.
From these examples, you can see that adding complexity to a password by using a variety of character types and increasing its length exponentially increases the time required to crack it.
6. Best Practices for Password Security
Use a mix of character types: Include lowercase and uppercase letters, digits, and special characters to increase complexity.
Increase the password length: The longer the password, the more difficult it is to crack.
Avoid predictable patterns: Refrain from using common words, dates, or sequential characters like "123456" or "password123".
Use a password manager: Tools like 1Password or LastPass can help store and manage complex passwords securely, so you only need to remember one master password.
7. Conclusion
Password length and complexity are the two most important factors in protecting against brute-force attacks.
Pine Script offers a powerful way to simulate password generation and security analysis, giving you insights into how secure your password is and how long it would take to crack it.
By applying these techniques, you can ensure that your passwords are strong and secure, making brute-force attacks infeasible.

Change in State of Delivery CISD ICT [TradingFinder] Liquidity 1🔵 Introduction
🟣 What is CISD ?
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) is a key concept in technical analysis, similar to Change of Character (ChoCh) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money trading styles. Like ChoCh and MSS, CISD helps traders identify critical changes in market structure and make timely entries into trades.
To determine the CISD Level, traders typically review the last 1 to 4 candles to identify the first positive or negative candle. The CISD Level is then set using the opening price of the next candle.
In this version of the indicator, support and resistance levels are defined based on liquidity, which includes patterns such as SFP (Swing Failure Pattern), fake breakout, and false breakout.
Bullish CISD :
Bearish CISD :
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Bullish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Upward)
In Bullish CISD, the trend shifts from bearish to bullish after the price hits a liquidity zone, typically indicated by patterns such as SFP, fake breakout, or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bullish CISD are as follow s:
Identify the liquidity zone (SFP, fake breakout).
Review the candles and find the first positive candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the positive candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes above the CISD Level.
Enter the trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 Bearish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Downward)
In Bearish CISD, the trader looks for a shift from a bullish to a bearish trend. This change typically occurs when the price hits a liquidity level, indicated by patterns such as SFP or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bearish CISD are :

🟣 CISD Compared to ChoCh and MSS (CISD Vs ChoCh/ MSS)
CISD, ChoCh, and MSS are all tools for identifying trend changes in the market, but they have some differences :
CISD: Focuses on a change in the state of delivery and uses liquidity patterns (SFP, fake breakout) and key candles to confirm trend reversals.
ChoCh: Identifies a change in the market’s character, often signaling rapid shifts in trend direction.
MSS: Focuses on changes in market structure and identifies the breaking of key levels as a signal of trend shifts.

Volume-Price PercentileDescription:
The "Volume-Price Percentile Live" indicator is designed to provide real-time analysis of the relationship between volume percentiles and price percentiles on any given timeframe. This tool helps traders assess market activity by comparing how current volume levels rank relative to historical volume data and how current price movements (specifically high-low ranges) rank relative to historical price data. The indicator visualizes the ratio of volume percentile to price percentile as a histogram, allowing traders to gauge the relative strength of volume against price movements in real time.
Functionality:
Volume Percentile: Calculates the percentile rank of the current volume within a user-defined rolling period (default is 30 bars). This percentile indicates where the current volume stands in comparison to historical volumes over the specified period.
Price Percentile: Calculates the percentile rank of the current candle's high-low difference within a user-defined rolling period (default is 30 bars). This percentile reflects the current price movement's strength relative to past movements over the specified period.
Percentile Ratio (VP Ratio): The indicator plots the ratio of the volume percentile to the price percentile. This ratio helps identify periods when volume is significantly higher or lower relative to price movement, providing insights into potential market imbalances or strength.
Real-Time Data: By fetching data from a lower timeframe (e.g., 1-minute), the indicator updates continuously within the current timeframe, offering live, intra-candle updates. This ensures that traders can see the histogram change in real-time as new data becomes available, without waiting for the current candle to close.
How to Use:
Adding the Indicator: To use this indicator, add it to your chart on TradingView by selecting it from the Indicators list once it is published publicly.
Setting Parameters:
Volume Period Length: This input sets the rolling window length for calculating the volume percentile (default is 30). You can adjust it based on the desired sensitivity or historical period relevance.
Candle Period Length: This input sets the rolling window length for calculating the price percentile based on the high-low difference of candles (default is 30). Adjust this to match your trading style or analysis period.
Interpreting the Histogram:
The histogram represents the volume percentile divided by the price percentile.
Above 1: A value greater than 1 indicates that volume is relatively strong compared to price movement, which may suggest high activity or potential accumulation/distribution phases.
Below 1: A value less than 1 suggests that price movement is relatively stronger than volume, indicating potential weakness in volume relative to price moves.
Near 1: Values close to 1 suggest a balanced relationship between volume and price movement.
Application: Use this indicator to identify potential breakout or breakdown scenarios, assess the strength of price movements, and confirm trends. When volume percentile consistently leads price percentile, it might signal sustained interest and support for the current price trend. Conversely, if volume percentile lags significantly, it might warn of potential trend weakness.
Best Practices:
Multiple Timeframe Analysis: While the indicator provides real-time updates on any timeframe, consider using it alongside higher timeframe analysis to confirm trends and volume behavior across different periods.
Customization: Adjust the period lengths based on the asset’s typical volume and price behavior, as well as your trading strategy (e.g., short-term scalping vs. long-term trend following).
Complement with Other Indicators: Use this indicator in conjunction with other volume-based tools, trend indicators, or momentum oscillators to gain a comprehensive view of market dynamics.
Swing Failure Pattern SFP [TradingFinder] SFP ICT Strategy🔵 Introduction
The Swing Failure Pattern (SFP), also referred to as a "Fake Breakout" or "False Breakout," is a vital concept in technical analysis. This pattern is derived from classic technical analysis, price action strategies, ICT concepts, and Smart Money Concepts.
It’s frequently utilized by traders to identify potential trend reversals in financial markets, especially in volatile markets like cryptocurrencies and forex. SFP helps traders recognize failed attempts to breach key support or resistance levels, providing strategic opportunities for trades.
The Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) is a popular strategy among traders used to identify false breakouts and potential trend reversals in the market. This strategy involves spotting moments where the price attempts to break above or below a previous high or low (breakout) but fails to sustain the move, leading to a sharp reversal.
Traders use this strategy to identify liquidity zones where stop orders (stop hunt) are typically placed and targeted by larger market participants or whales.
When the price penetrates these areas but fails to hold the levels, a liquidity sweep occurs, signaling exhaustion in the trend and a potential reversal. This strategy allows traders to enter the market at the right time and capitalize on opportunities created by false breakouts.
🟣 Types of SFP
When analyzing SFPs, two main variations are essential :
Real SFP : This occurs when the price breaks a critical level but fails to close above it, then quickly reverses. Due to its clarity and strong signal, this SFP type is highly reliable for traders.
Considerable SFP : In this scenario, the price closes slightly above a key level but quickly declines. Although significant, it is not as definitive or trustworthy as a Real SFP.
🟣 Understanding SFP
The Swing Failure Pattern, or False Breakout, is identified when the price momentarily breaks a crucial support or resistance level but cannot maintain the movement, leading to a rapid reversal.
The pattern can be categorized as follows :
Bullish SFP : This type occurs when the price dips below a support level but rebounds above it, signaling that sellers failed to push the price lower, indicating a potential upward trend.
Bearish SFP : This pattern forms when the price surpasses a resistance level but fails to hold, suggesting that buyers couldn’t maintain the higher price, leading to a potential decline.
🔵 How to Use
To effectively identify an SFP or Fake Breakout on a price chart, traders should follow these steps :
Identify Key Levels: Locate significant support or resistance levels on the chart.
Observe the Fake Breakout: The price should break the identified level but fail to close beyond it.
Monitor Price Reversal: After the breakout, the price should quickly reverse direction.
Execute the Trade: Traders typically enter the market after confirming the SFP.
🟣 Examples
Bullish Example : Bitcoin breaks below a $30,000 support level, drops to $29,000, but closes above $30,000 by the end of the day, signaling a Real Bullish SFP.
Bearish Example : Ethereum surpasses a $2,000 resistance level, rises to $2,100, but then falls back below $2,000, forming a Bearish SFP.
🟣 Pros and Cons of SFP
Pros :
Effective in identifying strong reversal points.
Offers a favorable risk-to-reward ratio.
Applicable across different timeframes.
Cons :
Requires experience and deep market understanding.
Risk of encountering false breakouts.
Should be combined with other technical tools for optimal effectiveness.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Logical settings

Bat Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Bat Chart Indicator🔵 Introduction
The Bat Harmonic Pattern, created by Scott Carney in the 1990s, is a sophisticated tool in technical analysis, used to identify potential reversal points in price movements by leveraging Fibonacci ratios.
This pattern is classified into two primary types: the Bullish Bat Pattern, which signals the end of a downtrend and the beginning of an uptrend, and the Bearish Bat Pattern, which indicates the conclusion of an uptrend and the onset of a downtrend.
🟣 Bullish Bat Pattern
The Bullish Bat Pattern is designed to identify when a downtrend is likely to end and a new uptrend is about to begin. The key feature of this pattern is Point D, which typically aligns near the 88.6% Fibonacci retracement of the XA leg.
This point is considered a strong buy zone. When the price reaches Point D after a significant downtrend, it often indicates a potential reversal, presenting a buying opportunity for traders anticipating the start of an upward movement.
🟣 Bearish Bat Pattern
In contrast, the Bearish Bat Pattern forms when an uptrend is nearing its conclusion. Point D, which also typically aligns near the 88.6% Fibonacci retracement of the XA leg, serves as a critical point for traders.
This point is regarded as a strong sell zone, signaling that the uptrend may be ending, and a downtrend could be imminent. Traders often open short positions when they identify this pattern, aiming to capitalize on the anticipated downward movement.
🔵 How to Use
The Bat Pattern consists of five key points: X, A, B, C, and D, and four waves: XA, AB, BC, and CD. Fibonacci ratios play a crucial role in this pattern, helping traders pinpoint precise entry and exit points. In both the Bullish and Bearish Bat Patterns, the 88.6% retracement of the XA leg is a critical level for identifying potential reversal points.
🟣 Bullish Bat Pattern
Traders typically enter buy positions after Point D forms, expecting the downtrend to end and a new uptrend to start. This point, located near the 88.6% retracement of the XA leg, serves as a reliable buy signal.
🟣 Bearish Bat Pattern
Traders usually open short positions after identifying Point D, expecting the uptrend to end and a downtrend to begin. This point, also near the 88.6% retracement of the XA leg, acts as a valid sell signal.
🟣 Trading Tips for the Bat Pattern
Accurate Fibonacci Point Identification : Accurately identify Points X, A, B, C, and D, and calculate the Fibonacci ratios between these points. Point D should ideally be near the 88.6% retracement of the XA leg.
Signal Confirmation with Other Tools : To enhance the pattern's accuracy, avoid trading solely based on the Bat Pattern.
Risk Management : Always use stop-loss orders. In a Bullish Bat Pattern, place the stop-loss below Point X, and in a Bearish Bat Pattern, above Point X. This helps limit potential losses if the pattern fails.
Wait for Price Movement Confirmation : After identifying Point D, wait for the price to move in the anticipated direction to confirm the pattern's validity before entering a trade.
Set Realistic Profit Targets : Use Fibonacci retracement levels to set realistic profit targets, such as 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8% retracement levels of the CD leg. This strategy helps maximize profits and prevents premature exits.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Logical Setting
ZigZag Pivot Period : You can adjust the period so that the harmonic patterns are adjusted according to the pivot period you want. This factor is the most important parameter in pattern recognition.
Show Valid Forma t: If this parameter is on "On" mode, only patterns will be displayed that they have exact format and no noise can be seen in them. If "Off" is, the patterns displayed that maybe are noisy and do not exactly correspond to the original pattern.
Show Formation Last Pivot Confirm : if Turned on, you can see this ability of patterns when their last pivot is formed. If this feature is off, it will see the patterns as soon as they are formed. The advantage of this option being clear is less formation of fielded patterns, and it is accompanied by the latest pattern seeing and a sharp reduction in reward to risk.
Period of Formation Last Pivot : Using this parameter you can determine that the last pivot is based on Pivot period.
🟣 Genaral Setting
Show : Enter "On" to display the template and "Off" to not display the template.
Color : Enter the desired color to draw the pattern in this parameter.
LineWidth : You can enter the number 1 or numbers higher than one to adjust the thickness of the drawing lines. This number must be an integer and increases with increasing thickness.
LabelSize : You can adjust the size of the labels by using the "size.auto", "size.tiny", "size.smal", "size.normal", "size.large" or "size.huge" entries.
🟣 Alert Setting
Alert : On / Off
Message Frequency : This string parameter defines the announcement frequency. Choices include: "All" (activates the alert every time the function is called), "Once Per Bar" (activates the alert only on the first call within the bar), and "Once Per Bar Close" (the alert is activated only by a call at the last script execution of the real-time bar upon closing). The default setting is "Once per Bar".
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : The date, hour, and minute you receive in alert messages can be based on any time zone you choose. For example, if you want New York time, you should enter "UTC-4". This input is set to the time zone "UTC" by default.
🔵 Conclusion
The Bat Harmonic Pattern is a powerful tool in technical analysis, offering traders the ability to identify critical reversal points using Fibonacci ratios. By recognizing the Bullish and Bearish Bat Patterns, traders can anticipate potential trend reversals and make informed trading decisions.
However, it is essential to combine the Bat Pattern with other technical analysis tools and confirm signals for better trading outcomes. With proper use, this pattern can help traders minimize risk and optimize their entry and exit points in the market.

Volatility with Power VariationVolatility Analysis using Power Variation
The "Volatility with Power Variation" indicator is designed to measure market volatility. It focuses on providing traders with a clear understanding of how much the market is moving and how this movement changes over time.. This indicator helps in identifying potential periods of market expansion or contraction, based on volatility.
What the indicator does:
This indicator analyzes volatility which refers to the degree of variation in the returns of a financial instrument over time. It's an important measure to understand how much the price and returns of a asset fluctuates. High volatility means large price swings, meanwhile low volatility indicates smaller and consolidating movements. Realized (Historical) Volatility refers to volatility based on past price data.
Power Variation
Power Variation is an extension of the traditional methods used to calculate realized volatility. Instead of simply summing up squared returns (as done in calculating variance), Power Variation raises the magnitude of returns to a power p . This allows the indicator to capture different types of market behavior depending on the chosen value of p .
When P = 2, the Power variation behaves like a traditional variance measure. Lower values of p (e.g., p=1) make the indicator more sensitive to smaller price changes, meanwhile higher values make it more responsive to large jumps, but smaller price moves wont affect the measure that much or won't most likely.
Bipower Variation
Bipower variation is another method used to analyze the changes in price. It specifically isolates the continuous part of price movements from the jumps, which can help by understanding whether volatility is coming from regular market activity or from sharp, sudden moves.
How to Use the Indicator.
Understand Realized and Historical Volatility. Volatility after periods of low volatility you can eventually expect a expansion or an increase in volatility. Conversely, after periods of high volatility, the market often contracts and volatility decreases. If the variation plot is really low and you start seeing it increasing, shown by the standard deviation channels and moving average and you see it trending and increasing then that means you can expect for volatility to increase which means more price moves and expansions. Also if the scaling seems messed up, then use the logarithmic chart scale.
Ticker Tape█ OVERVIEW
This indicator creates a dynamic, scrolling display of multiple securities' latest prices and daily changes, similar to the ticker tapes on financial news channels and the Ticker Tape Widget . It shows realtime market information for a user-specified list of symbols along the bottom of the main chart pane.
█ CONCEPTS
Ticker tape
Traditionally, a ticker tape was a continuous, narrow strip of paper that displayed stock prices, trade volumes, and other financial and security information. Invented by Edward A. Calahan in 1867, ticker tapes were the earliest method for electronically transmitting live stock market data.
A machine known as a "stock ticker" received stock information via telegraph, printing abbreviated company names, transaction prices, and other information in a linear sequence on the paper as new data came in. The term "ticker" in the name comes from the "tick" sound the machine made as it printed stock information. The printed tape provided a running record of trading activity, allowing market participants to stay informed on recent market conditions without needing to be on the exchange floor.
In modern times, electronic displays have replaced physical ticker tapes. However, the term "ticker" remains persistent in today's financial lexicon. Nowadays, ticker symbols and digital tickers appear on financial news networks, trading platforms, and brokerage/exchange websites, offering live updates on market information. Modern electronic displays, thankfully, do not rely on telegraph updates to operate.
█ FEATURES
Requesting a list of securities
The "Symbol list" text box in the indicator's "Settings/Inputs" tab allows users to list up to 40 symbols or ticker Identifiers. The indicator dynamically requests and displays information for each one. To add symbols to the list, enter their names separated by commas . For example: "BITSTAMP:BTCUSD, TSLA, MSFT".
Each item in the comma-separated list must represent a valid symbol or ticker ID. If the list includes an invalid symbol, the script will raise a runtime error.
To specify a broker/exchange for a symbol, include its name as a prefix with a colon in the "EXCHANGE:SYMBOL" format. If a symbol in the list does not specify an exchange prefix, the indicator selects the most commonly used exchange when requesting the data.
Realtime updates
This indicator requests symbol descriptions, current market prices, daily price changes, and daily change percentages for each ticker from the user-specified list of symbols or ticker identifiers. It receives updated information for each security after new realtime ticks on the current chart.
After a new realtime price update, the indicator updates the values shown in the tape display and their colors.
The color of the percentages in the tape depends on the change in price from the previous day . The text is green when the daily change is positive, red when the value is negative, and gray when the value is 0.
The color of each displayed price depends on the change in value from the last recorded update, not the change over a daily period. For example, if a security's price increases in the latest update, the ticker tape shows that price with green text, even if the current price is below the previous day's closing price. This behavior allows users to monitor realtime directional changes in the requested securities.
NOTE: Pine scripts execute on realtime bars when new ticks are available in the chart's data feed. If no new updates are available from the chart's realtime feed, it may cause a delay in the data the indicator receives.
Ticker motion
This indicator's tape display shows a list of security information that incrementally scrolls horizontally from right to left after new chart updates, providing a dynamic visual stream of current market data. The scrolling effect works by using a counter that increments across successive intervals after realtime ticks to control the offset of each listed security. Users can set the initial scroll offset with the "Offset" input in the "Settings/Inputs" tab.
The scrolling rate of the ticker tape display depends on the realtime ticks available from the chart's data feed. Using the indicator on a chart with frequent realtime updates results in smoother scrolling. If no new realtime ticks are available in the chart's feed, the ticker tape does not move. Users can also deactivate the scrolling feature by toggling the "Running" input in the indicator's settings.
█ FOR Pine Script™ CODERS
• This script utilizes dynamic requests to iteratively fetch information from multiple contexts using a single request.security() instance in the code. Previously, `request.*()` functions were not allowed within the local scopes of loops or conditional structures, and most `request.*()` function parameters, excluding `expression`, required arguments of a simple or weaker qualified type. The new `dynamic_requests` parameter in script declaration statements enables more flexibility in how scripts can use `request.*()` calls. When its value is `true`, all `request.*()` functions can accept series arguments for the parameters that define their requested contexts, and `request.*()` functions can execute within local scopes. See the Dynamic requests section of the Pine Script™ User Manual to learn more.
• Scripts can execute up to 40 unique `request.*()` function calls. A `request.*()` call is unique only if the script does not already call the same function with the same arguments. See this section of the User Manual's Limitations page for more information.
• This script converts a comma-separated "string" list of symbols or ticker IDs into an array . It then loops through this array, dynamically requesting data from each symbol's context and storing the results within a collection of custom `Tape` objects . Each `Tape` instance holds information about a symbol, which the script uses to populate the table that displays the ticker tape.
• This script uses the varip keyword to declare variables and `Tape` fields that update across ticks on unconfirmed bars without rolling back. This behavior allows the script to color the tape's text based on the latest price movements and change the locations of the table cells after realtime updates without reverting. See the `varip` section of the User Manual to learn more about using this keyword.
• Typically, when requesting higher-timeframe data with request.security() using barmerge.lookahead_on as the `lookahead` argument, the `expression` argument should use the history-referencing operator to offset the series, preventing lookahead bias on historical bars. However, the request.security() call in this script uses barmerge.lookahead_on without offsetting the `expression` because the script only displays results for the latest historical bar and all realtime bars, where there is no future information to leak into the past. Instead, using this call on those bars ensures each request fetches the most recent data available from each context.
• The request.security() instance in this script includes a `calc_bars_count` argument to specify that each request retrieves only a minimal number of bars from the end of each symbol's historical data feed. The script does not need to request all the historical data for each symbol because it only shows results on the last chart bar that do not depend on the entire time series. In this case, reducing the retrieved bars in each request helps minimize resource usage without impacting the calculated results.
Look first. Then leap.
Candlestick based on volume
This code is an indicator for drawing custom candle charts based on volume and analyzing price fluctuations and trends. A specific description is provided below:
Main functions and analysis details
Cumulative Volume Calculation
Accumulates the volume of all bars and calculates the cumulative volume. This gives an idea of the total volume of volume.
Counter Calculation
The value of the counter is determined by continuously dividing the accumulated volume by 2. This counter shows the change in volume.
Calculation of Counter Change and Duration
When the value of the counter changes, the duration of the change is calculated. This tells us how long the change in volume lasted.
Calculation of slope and angle
The slope is calculated from the amount of change in the counter and the period of time it took for the counter to change, and the angle is calculated from the slope. This allows you to visualize the trend of the volume change and the direction of the trend.
Setting Counter Color and Background Color
Set the color of the counter based on the period of change. Longer periods are displayed in red, and shorter periods in green. The background color also changes based on the angle, indicating the strength and direction of the trend.
Drawing Custom Candles
Draw custom candles based on volume changes. As the counter changes, a new candle is formed, highlighting the price movement.
Display of simple moving averages (SMA)
Calculates the average of prices over a selected period of time and displays that average. This smoothes out price trends and fluctuations and clearly shows the direction of the trend.
Comparison of the upper and lower lengths of candles
Calculates the upper and lower lengths of each candle (lower half and upper half) and changes the color of the SMA based on which is longer. This visualizes the effect of price fluctuations due to the shape of the candles.
Key Points of Use
Trend Analysis: Analyze the direction and strength of a trend using custom candles based on volume, background color, and tilt angle.
Change highlighting: Visually highlight important points with counter changes and flags.
Price Averaging: Use SMA to smooth price trends, reduce noise, and determine trend direction.
Unicorn ICT Signals [TradingFinder] Breaker Block + FVG Zones🔵 Introduction
The "ICT Unicorn Model" trading strategy in the "Inner Circle Trader" (ICT) style is one of the well-known strategies in the world of Forex and financial market trading.
The ICT methodology was developed by Michael Huddleston and is based on technical analysis and Price Action concepts.
This style focuses specifically on interpreting price movements and identifying optimal entry and exit points in the market.
In the Unicorn strategy, traders seek points where the probability of price reversal or trend continuation is high. This strategy is primarily based on recognizing and analyzing Price Action patterns and market structure.
By understanding"ICT Unicorn Model", traders can make more informed decisions about where to enter or exit trades, thereby increasing their chances of success in the market.
🟣 Understanding the Breaker Block
A Breaker Block is a specialized form of an Order Block that changes its role after a key market level is broken. Typically, an Order Block is an area on the chart where large institutional orders are likely to be placed, providing strong support or resistance.
However, when this area is breached, and the price moves in the opposite direction, it transforms into what is known as a Breaker Block. This shift indicates a reversal in market sentiment, turning the previous support into resistance or vice versa, thereby signaling a potential trend change to traders.
🟣 The Significance of the Fair Value Gap (FVG)
The Fair Value Gap (FVG) refers to an area on a price chart where the price rapidly moves through a level, leaving behind a gap. This gap represents an imbalance between supply and demand and is often seen as a potential area for price to return and fill the gap.
These zones are crucial for traders as they can indicate future price movements, providing opportunities to enter or exit trades.
🟣 Defining the ICT Unicorn Model
When an FVG overlaps with a Breaker Block, it forms a highly significant trading area known as a Unicorn. This overlap creates an ideal zone for traders to enter the market, as it combines two powerful technical signals.
The Unicorn Model is therefore considered an optimal strategy for identifying precise entry and exit points in the financial markets.
Demand ICT Unicorn Model :
Supply ICT Unicorn Model :
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Bullish ICT Unicorn
The Bullish ICT Unicorn model is applicable when the market is in an uptrend, and traders are seeking buying opportunities.
Follow these steps to identify Bullish ICT Unicorn :
Identify the Bullish Breaker Block : Locate an area where the price moved upward after breaking an Order Block. This area now acts as a Breaker Block.
Identify the Bullish FVG : Look for a Fair Value Gap near the Breaker Block.
Confirm the Unicorn : When the Bullish Breaker Block and Bullish FVG overlap, a Bullish Unicorn is confirmed. Traders can enter a buy position when the price returns to this zone.
🟣Bearish ICT Unicorn
The Bearish ICT Unicorn model is used when the market is in a downtrend, and traders are looking for selling opportunities.
To identify Bearish ICT Unicorn, follow these steps :
Identify the Bearish Breaker Block : Find an area where the price moved downward after breaking an Order Block. This area now acts as a Breaker Block.
Identify the Bearish FVG : Check if a Fair Value Gap has formed near the Breaker Block.
Confirm the Unicorn : When the Bearish Breaker Block and Bearish FVG overlap, a Bearish Unicorn is confirmed. Traders can enter a sell position when the price returns to this zone.

🟣 FVG Filter
FVG Filter : This refines the number of identified FVG areas based on a specified algorithm to focus on higher quality signals and reduce noise.
Types of FVG filters :
Very Aggressive Filter: Adds a condition where, for an upward FVG, the last candle's highest price must exceed the middle candle's highest price, and for a downward FVG, the last candle's lowest price must be lower than the middle candle's lowest price. This minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter: Builds on the Very Aggressive mode by ensuring the middle candle is not too small, filtering out more FVGs.
Defensive Filter: Adds criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle, requiring it to have a substantial body and specific polarity conditions, filtering out a significant number of FVGs.
Very Defensive Filter: Further refines filtering by ensuring the first and third candles are not small-bodied doji candles, retaining only the highest quality signals.
