TrapZone ProThis script combines the concepts of Price Action, Trend and Momentum to identify Price Zones (Red and Green filled areas) and Price Bars (Red, Green and Gray) where traders can get trapped in the Market.
It will clearly mark the bars which favor the prevailing Trend and those bars which just don't have the momentum anymore. TrapZone moves with the market trend and will often provide it support. As the TrapZone changes direction & its color, traders can change their trade bias.
Features:
Identify strong & weak price action - By leveraging a regression calculation of price movement on Y axis against the x axis, we identify the strength of current bars. Increasing relative strength of bars indicate Bullish (Green Bars) & Bearish (Red Bars) price movement, respectively. As the relative strength starts to decrease in Bullish or Bearish price action, the indicator immediately changes the color of these bars to Gray (by default). We call these TrapBars .
Current price trend - By using the highs and lows of price in multiple periods, we are calculating the trend of the price. The Bullish trend is shown by the Green zone and Bearish trend is shown by the Red zone. These zones are the shaded areas which are plotted on the chart. If the price is in these Zones, Longs or Short trades are not advised as that price action is weak. We call these TrapZones .
Strength of the Momentum - the thickness of the TrapZone shows the strength of the current Bullish or Bearish trend. That means the wider the shaded area grows the stronger is the current market momentum. A Flat TrapZone indicates sideways price action.
Knowing when NOT to Trade is as important as when to Trade. While this indicator is designed to avoid taking bad trades such as FOMO, Catching a Falling Knife or Fighting The Trend , it successfully reveals the good trade setups!
How these features of this indicator helps Traders avoids common mistakes:
FOMO or Fear of Missing Out - If a Trader Sees TrapBars in a Bullish or Bearish Trend, they will avoid entry as the price action is weak at that time. This will avoid late entries.
Catching a Falling Knife (a.k.a. Picking a Bottom) - When Red TrapZone is being plotted, Traders can avoid taking Long Entries hoping for a price reversal.
Fighting The Trend (a.k.a Picking a Top) - When Green TrapZone is being plotted, Traders can avoid taking Short entries hoping for a price reversal.
TrapZone Pro does all this in a single panel of the chart irrespective of the market or timeframe.

The FOMO Buy Sell Indicator is a very specific strategy, cut down to its roots and made perfect for the volatile crypto market.
Many indicators focus only on one aspect, one side, one specific rule. As you know, this is not how life, the market or anything else works.
FOMO combines many different aspects at the same time, scans multiple other indicators and comes to a conclusion based on over 950 lines of code.
It is based on Divergences, Elliott Waves , Ichimoku , MACD , MACD Histogram, RSI , Stoch , CCI , Momentum, OBV, DIOSC, VWMACD, CMF and multiple EMAs.
Every single aspect is weighted into the decision before giving out an indication.
Most buy/sell indicators FAIL because they try to apply the same strategy to every single chart, which
are as individual as humans.
To conquer this problem, FOMO has a wide range of settings and variables which can be easily
modified.
To make it a true strategy, FOMO has as well settings for Take Profit Points, Multiple Entries and Stop Losses. Everything with an Alert Feature of course.
I know from experience that many people take one indicator and are simply too LAZY to add multiple indicators to make a rational choice.
The result of that is that they lose money, by following blatantly only one indicator.
FOMO has additional 7 indicators, perfect for the crypto market, which can be turned on and off.
FOMO Signals Settings
“Show Signals?” - On/Off to show the Buy/Sell Signals. “Aggressiveness” - Increase to make the signals less aggressive
and decrease to make them more aggressive.
“Show Custom FOMO Timeframe?” - On/Off to show FOMO Signals of a different timeframe in addition to the normal ones.
“Custom FOMO Timeframe?” - Choose the timeframe for the custom FOMO signals.
“Use Safe FOMO?” - On/Off to show only “safe” (less but more exact) FOMO signals.
“Safe FOMO Sells” - Settings for the “safe” FOMO Sell Signals. Decrease number for “less safe” Signals.
Increase number for “more safe” Signals.
“Safe FOMO Buys” - Settings for the “safe” FOMO Buy Signals. Decrease number for “more safe” Signals.
Increase number for “less safe” Signals.
FOMO Strategy Settings
“Take Profit 1 ” - On/Off to show TP1 points.
“Take Profit After %” - Set the percentage after which TP1 is
active.
“Take Profit 2 ” - On/Off to show TP2 points.
“Take Profit 2 After %” - Set the percentage after which TP2 is active.
“Take Profit 3 ” - On/Off to show TP3 points.
“Take Profit 3 After %” - Set the percentage after which TP3 is
active.
“Second Entry” - On/Off to show Second Entry points.
“Second Entry After %” - Set the percentage after which Second Entry is active.
“Third Entry ” - On/Off to Third Entry points.
“Third Entry After %” - Set the percentage after which Third
Entry is active.
“Stop Loss ” - On/Off to show Stop Loss points.
“Take Profit After %” - Set the percentage after which Stop Loss is active.
The FOMO Lifeguard is a special feature made to cancel out the “noice” of the signals and show only signals with a great technical significance.
For this FOMO uses the default settings of +7 and - 7. This references to an index value of multiple settings of almost all indicators used in this script.
+7 cuts out all sell signals below the index value of 7.
- 7 cuts out all buy signals above the index value of - 7.
Using the FOMO Lifeguard is a key element for a sustainable and profitable strategy.
As the normal FOMO Signals, the Lifeguard Signals are also bound to the “Aggressiveness”. Should the cut out of signals with the Lifeguard on be too big, try adjusting the “Aggressiveness”.
With this, once can choose and make this indicator PERFECT for his own strategy and trading style. Day Traders would use no “Lifeguard” and aggressive signals.
Swing Traders would use “Lifeguard” and aggressive signals.
To make the life of the FOMO user even easier, I have added all adjustable Take Profit Points, Multiple entry points and Stop Loss points.
Simply choose how many Take Profit points you would like to have and choose the percentage after which you would like to see the Take Profit point appear on the chart and notify you to take profits.
Are you a Trader who likes multiple entries? Also no problem with FOMO. Select how many additional entries you would like to have and after how many percent you would like them to appear on the chart and remind you of adding to the position.
What would a Strategy be without a Stop Loss? Same settings apply here as on the TPs and MEs .

FOMO without any doubt has Custom Alerts for all Signals that it is painting on the chart. This goes for the “Normal Signals” as well as for the “Lifeguard Signals”.
One can even choose to receive custom notifications for Take Profit points, Multiple Entry points and the Stop Loss points.
The signals appear on the chart DURING the candle, not at the end of the candle. Therefore, the alerts do this as well. These appear during the candle.
Here we can see all of the possible Alerts that can be chosen to be displayed. In total it is 30 different custom alerts, based on what the trader is looking for and how he is trading.
Personally, I have 10-15 coins that I trade the most and for these I have custom notifications, mostly though only the SAFE FOMO Buy and Sell Signals.
To activate Alerts for FOMO
1) Go to the “ALERT” icon on the top tool bar of your Tradingview.
2) Select “CONDITION” as “—Crypto FOMO Strategy—“
3) Then choose ONE condition from the list of conditions.
4) On “OPTIONS” you can set how many times it appears, I have “Once per Bar”.
4.1) If you want to make sure that the signal is truly there and not just a condition for a second during the candle, choose “ONCE PER BAR CLOSE”.
5) “Expiration Time” sets the time until the alert expires. PRO users have no expiration for alerts.
6) “Alert Actions” give you a row of choices what happens and how you want to be notified.
7) “Message” is the message that you receive inside the notification.
AFTERWORD/DISCLAIMER
FOMO has been created after my goal to #MakeCryptoProfessionalAgain. Every aspect of it has its own and very specific use, which traders have shown to find useful in their trading.
This Indicator is meant to help new and experienced traders to understand the various aspects of this market and access all of the most important and most commonly used tools, with JUST ONE CLICK.
FOMO should be used responsibly and treated as an indicator. Signals, scripts, algorithms can NEVER be 100% exact. It is up to the trader to make a well thought and educated decision, wether to follow a signal or not. Our brains are way more advanced than any indicator and algorithm.
I advise especially for this reason to have not just the signals turned on. Please do not use the SAME settings for each chart. Look which Aggressiveness and Lifeguard Settings fit your chart the most, you will be amazed how well some charts work with FOMO.
FOMO should NOT make you FOMO into a trade anymore. It should teach you to make more educated decisions and especially for margin trading reduce the risk of liquidation.
Should you have problems with being liquidated multiple times, I advise to use the “STOP LOSS” function.
Most importantly, enjoy the indicator and trading in general.
