ImbalancesThis Pine Script is a trading indicator designed to identify imbalances in the market, specifically on candlestick charts. An imbalance refers to situations where there is a significant difference between buyers and sellers, which can create gaps or areas of inefficiency in the price. These imbalances often act as zones where price may return to "fill" or correct these inefficiencies.
1. Identifying Imbalances
The script analyzes candlestick patterns to detect imbalances based on the relationship between the highs, lows, and closes of consecutive candles. Specifically, it looks for:
Top Imbalances (Bearish): Areas where selling pressure has dominated, causing inefficiencies in the price. These are represented by patterns like multiple consecutive bearish candles or bearish gaps.
Bottom Imbalances (Bullish): Areas where buying pressure has dominated, leading to bullish gaps or inefficiencies.
When an imbalance is detected, the script highlights the area using visual boxes on the chart.
2. Visual Representation
The indicator uses colored boxes to show imbalances directly on the chart:
Top (Bearish) Imbalances: Highlighted using shades of red.
Bottom (Bullish) Imbalances: Highlighted using shades of green.
The boxes are further categorized into three states based on their level of mitigation:
Unmitigated: The imbalance has not been "filled" by price yet.
Partially Mitigated: Price has entered the imbalance zone but not completely filled it.
Fully Mitigated: Price has completely filled the imbalance zone.
3. Mitigation Logic
The concept of mitigation refers to the price revisiting an imbalance zone to correct the inefficiency:
If price fully or partially revisits an imbalance zone, the box's color changes to indicate the mitigation level (e.g., from unmitigated to partially/fully mitigated).
Fully mitigated boxes may be removed or recolored, depending on user preferences.
4. User Customization
The script provides several inputs to customize its behavior:
Enable or disable top and bottom imbalance detection.
Color settings: Users can define different colors for unmitigated, partially mitigated, and fully mitigated imbalances.
Mitigation display options: Users can choose whether to show fully mitigated imbalances on the chart or remove them.
5. Key Calculations
Imbalance Size: The size of the imbalance is calculated as the price difference between a candle's high and low across the relevant pattern.
Pattern Detection: The script checks for specific candlestick patterns (e.g., three consecutive bearish candles) to identify potential imbalances.
6. Practical Use Case
This indicator is useful for traders who:
Rely on supply and demand zones for their trading strategies.
Look for areas where price is likely to return (retesting unmitigated imbalances can signal potential trade setups).
Want to visually track market inefficiencies over time.
In Summary
The "Imbalances" indicator highlights and tracks price inefficiencies on candlestick charts. It marks zones where buying or selling pressure was dominant, and it dynamically updates these zones based on price action to indicate their mitigation status. This tool is particularly helpful for traders who use price action and market structure in their strategies.

Rounded Grid Levels🟩 Rounded Grid Levels is a visual tool that helps traders quickly identify key psychological price levels on any chart. By dynamically adapting to the user's visible screen area, it provides consistent, easy-to-read round number grids that align with price action. The indicator offers a traditional visualization of horizontal round level grids, along with enhanced options such as tilted grids that align with market sentiment, and fan-shaped grids for alternative price interaction views. It serves purely as a visual aid, providing an adaptable way to observe rounded price levels without making predictions or generating trading signals.
⚡ OVERVIEW ⚡
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator is a visual tool designed to help traders identify and track price levels that may hold psychological significance, such as round numbers or significant milestones. These levels often serve as potential areas for price reactions, including support, resistance, or points of market interest. The indicator's gridlines are determined by user-defined settings and adjust dynamically based on the visible chart area, meaning they are influenced by the user's current zoom level and perspective. This behavior is similar to TradingView's built-in grid lines found in the chart settings canvas, which also adjust in real-time based on the visible screen, ensuring the most relevant price levels are displayed. By default, the indicator provides consistent gridlines to represent traditional round number levels, offering a straightforward view of key psychological areas. Additionally, users have access to experimental and novel configurations, such as fan-shaped layouts, which expand from a central point and adapt directionally based on user settings. This configuration can provide an alternate perspective for traders, especially useful in analyzing broader market moves and visualizing expansion relative to the current price.
Users can display the gridlines in a variety of configurations, including horizontal, neutral, auto, or fan-shaped layouts, depending on their preferred method of analysis. This flexibility allows traders to focus on different types of price action without overcrowding the visual representation of price movements.
This indicator is intended purely as a visual aid for understanding how price interacts with rounded levels over time. It does not generate predictive trading signals or recommendations but rather provides traders with a customizable framework to enhance their market analysis.
⭕ ROUND NUMBERS IN MARKET PSYCHOLOGY ⭕
Round numbers hold a significant place in financial markets, largely due to the psychological tendencies of traders and investors. These levels often represent areas of interest where human behavior, market biases, and trading strategies converge. Whether it's prices ending in 000, 500, or other recognizable values, these levels naturally attract more attention and influence decision-making.
Round numbers can act as key support or resistance levels and often become focal points in market activity. They are frequently highlighted by financial media, embedded in products like options, and serve as foundations for various trading theories. Their impact extends across different market participants and strategies, making them important focal points in both short-term and long-term market analysis.
Round numbers play an important role in guiding trader behavior and market activity. To better understand why these levels are so impactful, there are several key factors that highlight their significance in trading and price dynamics:
Psychological Impact : Humans naturally gravitate toward round numbers, such as prices ending in 000, 500, or 00. These levels tend to draw attention as traders perceive them as psychologically significant. This behavior is rooted in the cognitive bias known as "left-digit bias," where people assign greater importance to rounded, more recognizable numbers. In trading, this means that prices at these levels are more memorable and thus more likely to attract attention, creating an area where traders focus their buying or selling decisions.
Order Clustering : Traders often place buy and sell orders around these rounded levels, either manually or automatically through stop and limit orders. This clustering leads to the formation of visible support or resistance zones, as the concentrated orders tend to influence price behavior around these key levels. Market participants tend to converge their orders around these price points because of their perceived psychological importance, creating a liquidity pocket. As a result, these areas often act as barriers that the price either struggles to cross or uses as springboards for further movement.
External Influences : Financial media frequently highlights round-number milestones, amplifying market sentiment and drawing traders' attention to these levels. Additionally, algorithmic trading systems often react to round-number thresholds, which can further reinforce price movements, creating self-reinforcing reactions at these levels. As media and analysts emphasize these milestones, more traders pay attention to them, leading to increased volume and often heightened volatility at those points. This self-reinforcing cycle makes round numbers an area where price movement can either accelerate due to a breakout or stall because of clustering interest.
Option Strike Prices : Options contracts typically have strike prices set at round numbers, and as expiration approaches, these levels can influence the price of the underlying asset due to concentrated trading activity. The behavior around these levels, often called "pinning," happens because traders adjust their positions to avoid unfavorable scenarios at these key strikes. This activity tends to concentrate price movement toward these levels as traders hedge their positions, leading to increased liquidity and the potential for abrupt price reactions near option expiration dates.
Whole Number Theory : This theory suggests that whole numbers act as natural psychological barriers, where traders tend to make decisions, place orders, or expect price reactions, making these levels crucial for analysis. Whole numbers are simple to remember and are often used as informal targets for profit-taking or stop placement. This behavior leads to a natural ebb and flow around these levels, where the market finds equilibrium temporarily before deciding on a future direction. Whole numbers tend to work like magnets, drawing price to them and often creating reactions that are visible across different timeframes.
Quarters Theory : Commonly used in Forex markets, this theory focuses on quarter-point increments (e.g., 1.0000, 1.2500, 1.5000) as key levels where price often pauses or reverses. These quarter levels are treated as important psychological barriers, with price frequently interacting at these intervals. Traders use these points to gauge market strength or weakness because quarter levels divide larger round-number ranges into more manageable and meaningful segments. For example, in highly traded forex pairs like EUR/USD, traders might treat 1.2500 as a significant barrier because it represents a halfway point between 1.0000 and 1.5000, offering a balanced reference point for decision-making.
Big Round Numbers : Major round numbers, such as 100, 500, or 1000, often attract significant attention and serve as psychological thresholds. Traders anticipate strong reactions when prices approach or cross these levels. This is often because large round numbers symbolize major milestones, and price behavior around them tends to signal important market sentiment shifts. When price crosses a major level, such as a stock moving above $100 or Bitcoin crossing $50,000, it often creates a surge in trading activity as it is viewed as a validation or invalidation of market trends, drawing in momentum traders and triggering both retail and institutional responses.
By visualizing these round levels on the chart, the Rounded Grid Levels indicator helps traders identify areas where price may pause, reverse, or gain momentum. While round numbers provide useful insights, they should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for a comprehensive trading strategy.
🛠️ CONFIGURATION AND SETTINGS 🛠️
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator offers a variety of configurable settings to tailor the visualization according to individual trader preferences. Below are the key settings available for customization:
Custom Settings
Rounding Step : The Rounding Step parameter sets the minimum interval between gridlines. This value determines how closely spaced the rounded levels are on the chart. For example, if the Rounding Step is set to 100, gridlines will be displayed at every 100 points (e.g., $100, $200, $300) relative to the current price level. The Rounding Step is scaled to the chart's visible area, meaning users should adjust it appropriately for different assets to ensure effective visualization. Lower values provide a more granular view, while larger values give a broader, higher-level perspective.
Major Grids : Defines the interval at which major gridlines will appear compared to minor ones. For example, if the Rounding Step is 100 and Major Grids is set to 10, major gridlines will be displayed every $1,000, while minor gridlines will be at every $100. This distinction allows traders to better visualize key psychological levels by emphasizing significant price intervals.
Direction : Users can select the gridline direction, choosing between options such as 'Up', 'Down', 'Auto', or 'Neutral'. This setting controls how the gridlines extend relative to the current price level, which can help in analyzing directional trends.
Neutral Direction : This option provides balanced gridlines both above and below the current price, allowing traders to visualize support and resistance levels symmetrically. This is useful for analyzing sideways or ranging markets without directional bias.
Up Direction : The gridlines are tilted upwards, starting from visible lows and extending toward the rounded level at the current price. By choosing Up , traders emphasize an upward sentiment, visualizing price action that aligns with rising trends. This option helps illustrate potential areas where pullbacks may occur, as well as how price might expand upwards in the current market context.
Down Direction : The gridlines are tilted downwards, starting from visible highs and extending toward the rounded level at the current price. Selecting Down allows traders to emphasize a downward sentiment, visualizing how price may expand downwards, which is particularly useful when analyzing downtrends or potential correction levels. The gridlines provide an illustrative view of how price interacts with lower levels during market declines.
Auto Direction : The gridlines automatically adjust their direction based on recent market trends. This adaptive option allows traders to visualize gridlines that dynamically change according to price action, making it suitable for evolving market conditions where the direction is uncertain. It’s useful for traders looking for an indicator that moves in sync with market shifts and doesn’t require manual adjustment.
Grid Type : Allows users to choose between 'Linear' or 'Fan' grid types. The Linear type creates evenly spaced gridlines that can be either horizontal or tilted, depending on the chosen direction setting, providing a straightforward view of price levels. The Fan type radiates lines from a central point, offering a more dynamic perspective for analyzing price expansions relative to the current price. These grid types introduce experimental visualizations influenced by chart properties, including visible highs, lows, and the current price. Regardless of the configuration, the gridlines will always end at the current bar, which represents a rounded price level, ensuring consistency in how key price areas are displayed.
Extend : This setting allows gridlines to be projected into the future, helping traders see potential levels beyond the current bar. When enabled, the behavior of the extended lines varies based on the selected grid type and direction. For Neutral and Horizontal Linear settings, the extended gridlines maintain their round-number alignment indefinitely. However, for Up , Down , or Auto directions, the angle of the extended gridlines can change dynamically based on the chart’s visible high and low or the latest price action. As a result, extended lines may not continue to align with round-number levels beyond the current bar, reflecting instead the current trend and sentiment of the market. Regardless of direction, extended gridlines remain consistently spaced and either parallel or evenly distributed, ensuring a structured visual representation.
Color Settings : Users can customize the colors for resistance, support, and minor gridlines at the current price. This helps in visually distinguishing between different grid types and their significance on the chart.
Color Options
These configuration options make the Rounded Grid Levels indicator a versatile tool for traders looking to customize their charts based on their personal trading strategies and analytical preferences.
🖼️ CHART EXAMPLES 🖼️
The following chart examples illustrate different configurations available in the Rounded Grid Levels indicator. These examples show how variations in grid type, direction, and rounding step settings impact the visualization of price levels. Traders may find that smaller rounding steps are more effective on lower time frames, where precision is key, whereas larger rounding steps help to reduce clutter and highlight key levels on higher time frames. Each image includes a caption to explain the specific configuration used, helping users better understand how to apply these settings in different market conditions.
Smaller Rounding Step (100) : With a smaller rounding step, the gridlines are spaced closely together. This setting is particularly useful for lower time frames where price action is more granular and finer details are needed. It allows traders to track price interactions at narrower levels, but on higher time frames, it may lead to clutter and exceed Pine Script's 500-line limit.
Larger Rounding Step (1000) : With a larger rounding step, the gridlines are spaced farther apart. This visualization is better suited for higher time frames or broader market overviews, allowing users to focus on major psychological levels without overloading the chart. On lower time frames, this may result in fewer actionable levels, but it helps in maintaining clarity and staying within Pine Script's line limit.
Linear Grid Type, Neutral Direction (Traditional Rounded Price Levels) : The Linear gridlines are displayed in a neutral fashion, representing traditional round-number levels with consistent spacing above and below the current price. This layout helps visualize key psychological price levels over time in a straightforward manner.
Linear Grid Type, Down Direction : The Linear gridlines are tilted downwards, remaining parallel and ending at the rounded level at the current price. This setup emphasizes downward market sentiment, allowing traders to visualize price expansion towards lower levels, which is useful when analyzing downtrends or potential correction levels.
Linear Grid Type, Down Direction : The Linear gridlines are tilted downwards, extending from the current price to lower levels. Useful for observing downtrending price movements and visualizing pullback areas during uptrends.
Linear Grid Type, Auto Direction : The Linear gridlines adjust dynamically, tilting either upwards or downwards to align with recent price trends, remaining parallel and ending at the rounded level at the current price. This configuration reflects the current market sentiment and offers traders a flexible way to observe price dynamics as they develop in real time.
Fan Grid Type, Neutral Direction : The fan-shaped gridlines radiate symmetrically from a central point, ending at the rounded level at the current price. This configuration provides an unbiased view of price action, giving traders a balanced visualization of rounded levels without directional influence.
Fan Grid Type, Up Direction : The fan-shaped gridlines originate from lower visible price points and radiate upwards, ending at the rounded level at the current price. This layout helps visualize potential price expansion to higher levels, offering insights into upward momentum while maintaining a dynamic and evolving perspective on market conditions.
Fan Grid Type, Down Direction : The fan-shaped gridlines originate from higher visible price points and radiate downwards, ending at the rounded level at the current price. This setup is particularly useful for observing potential price expansion towards lower levels, illustrating areas where the price might extend during a downtrend.
Fan Grid Type, Auto Direction : The fan-shaped gridlines dynamically adjust, originating from visible chart points based on the current market trend, and radiate outward, ending at the rounded level at the current price. This adaptive visualization offers a continuously evolving representation that aligns with changing market sentiment, helping traders assess price expansion dynamically.
📊 SUMMARY 📊
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator helps traders highlight important round-number price levels on their charts, providing a dynamic way to visualize these psychological areas. With customizable gridline options—including traditional, tilted, and fan-shaped styles—users can adapt the indicator to suit their analysis needs. The gridlines adjust with chart zoom or scale, offering a flexible tool for observing price action, without providing specific trading signals or predictions.
⚙️ COMPATIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS ⚙️
Asset Compatibility :
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator is compatible with all asset classes, including cryptocurrencies, forex, stocks, and commodities. Users should adjust both the Rounding Step and the Major Grid settings to ensure the correct scale is used for the specific asset. This adjustment ensures that the most relevant round price levels are displayed effectively regardless of the instrument being analyzed. For instance, when analyzing BTCUSD, a higher Rounding Step may be needed compared to forex pairs like EURUSD, and the Major Grid value should also be adjusted to appropriately emphasize significant levels.
Line Limitations in Pine Script :
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator is subject to Pine Script's 500-line limit. This means that it cannot draw more than 500 gridlines on the chart at any given time. The number of gridlines depends directly on the chosen Rounding Step . If the steps are too small, the gridlines will be spaced too closely, causing the indicator to quickly reach the line limit. For example, if Ethereum is trading around $2,500, a Rounding Step of 100 might be appropriate, but a step of 1.00 would create too many gridlines, exceeding Pine Script's limit. Users should consider appropriate settings to avoid running into this constraint.
Runtime Error Considerations
When using the Rounded Grid Levels indicator, users might encounter a runtime error in specific scenarios. This typically happens if the Rounding Step is set too small, causing the indicator to exceed Pine Script's line limit or take too long to process. This can often occur when switching between charts that have significantly different price ranges. Since the Rounding Step requires flexibility to work with a wide variety of assets—ranging from decimals to thousands—it is not practically limited within the script itself. If a runtime error occurs, the recommended solution is to increase the Rounding Step to a larger value that better matches the current asset's price range.
Runtime Error: If the Rounding Step is too small for the current asset or chart, the indicator may generate a runtime error. Users should increase the Rounding Step to ensure proper visualization.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator is not designed as a predictive tool. While it extends gridlines into the future, this extension is purely for visual continuity and does not imply any forecast of future price movements. The primary function of this indicator is to help users visualize significant round number price levels.
The gridlines adjust dynamically based on the visible chart range, ensuring that the most relevant round price levels are displayed. This behavior allows the indicator to adapt to your current view of the market, but it should not be used to predict price movements. The indicator is intended as a visual aid and should be used alongside other tools in a comprehensive market analysis approach.
While gridlines may align with significant price levels in hindsight, they should not be interpreted as indicators of future price movements. Traders are encouraged to adjust settings based on their strategy and market conditions.

Confluence StrategyOverview of Confluence Strategy
The Confluence Strategy in trading refers to the combination of multiple technical indicators, support/resistance levels, and chart patterns to identify high-probability trading opportunities. The idea is that when several indicators agree on a price movement, the likelihood of that movement being successful increases.
Key Components
Technical Indicators:
Moving Averages (MA): Commonly used to determine the trend direction. Look for crossovers (e.g., the 50-day MA crossing above the 200-day MA).
Relative Strength Index (RSI): Helps identify overbought or oversold conditions. A reading above 70 may indicate overbought conditions, while below 30 suggests oversold.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): Useful for spotting changes in momentum. Look for MACD crossovers and divergence from price.
Support and Resistance Levels:
Identify key levels where price has historically reversed. These can be drawn from previous highs/lows, Fibonacci retracement levels, or psychological price levels.
Chart Patterns:
Patterns like head and shoulders, double tops/bottoms, or flags can indicate potential reversals or continuations in price.
Strategy Implementation
Set Up Your Chart:
Add the desired indicators (e.g., MA, RSI, MACD) to your TradingView chart.
Mark significant support and resistance levels.
Identify Confluence Points:
Look for situations where multiple indicators align. For instance, if the price is near a support level, the RSI is below 30, and the MACD shows bullish divergence, this may signal a buying opportunity.
Entry and Exit Points:
Entry: Place a trade when your confluence conditions are met. Use limit orders for better prices.
Exit: Set profit targets based on resistance levels or use trailing stops. Consider the risk-reward ratio to ensure your trades are favorable.
Risk Management:
Always implement stop-loss orders to protect against unexpected market moves. Position size should reflect your risk tolerance.
Example of a Confluence Trade
Setup:
Price approaches a strong support level.
RSI shows oversold conditions (below 30).
The 50-day MA is about to cross above the 200-day MA (bullish crossover).
Action:
Enter a long position as the conditions align.
Set a stop loss just below the support level and a take profit at the next resistance level.
Conclusion
The Confluence Strategy can significantly enhance trading accuracy by ensuring that multiple indicators support a trade decision. Traders on TradingView can customize their indicators and charts to fit their personal trading styles, making it a flexible approach to technical analysis.

Days Higher Than Current PriceThe "Days Higher Than Current Price" indicator is a color-coded tool that provides insights into the historical price performance of an underlying asset. By analyzing the number of bars prior to the selected day that had higher closing prices, this indicator visually represents the comparative strength or weakness of the current price level.
The "Days Higher" indicator utilizes a color-coded scheme to indicate the number of days in the asset's price history where the closing prices were higher than the current day's price. The color spectrum ranges from red to blue, representing varying levels of historical price strength.
Color Coding:
The color coding scheme of the indicator offers a quick and intuitive understanding of the price performance:
Red: Represents a higher number of days in the asset's price history where the closing prices were higher than the current day's price. This suggests a weaker price trend or a potential reversal and indicates relative price weakness.
Blue: Represents a lower number of days in the asset's price history where the closing prices were higher than the current day's price. This indicates a strong trend of higher prices and suggests relative price strength.
Orange & Green: Correspond to different numbers of days where the closing prices were higher than the current day's price. The specific color gradations between red and blue reflect increasing or decreasing historical price strength.
Methodology:
The "Days Higher" indicator examines each bar in the asset's price history leading up to the selected day. It counts the number of bars where the closing prices were higher than the current day's price.
The indicator then assigns a specific color to the price chart based on the count of such days, providing a visual representation of historical price strength relative to the current price level.
Utility:
The "Days Higher" indicator offers traders and investors a unique perspective on the historical price performance of an asset. By assessing the color-coded chart, market participants can quickly gauge the presence of strong or weak historical price trends.
This information can be used to identify potential support or resistance levels, assess the overall strength of a trend, or evaluate the likelihood of a price reversal. Traders may incorporate this indicator into their analysis to make more informed trading decisions based on the historical price strength indicated by the color-coded chart.
It is important to note that this tool should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators to validate signals and make well-rounded trading decisions.
Example Charts:

-Stocks-
-Cryptos-
-Multi-Timeframe-
Trend Line Trendlines are easily recognizable lines that traders draw on charts to connect a series of prices together or show some data's best fit. The resulting line is then used to give the trader a good idea of the direction in which an investment's value might move.
A trendline is a line drawn over pivot highs or under pivot lows to show the prevailing direction of price. Trendlines are a visual representation of support and resistance in any time frame. They show direction and speed of price, and also describe patterns during periods of price contraction.
Key Takeaways
Trendlines indicate the best fit of some data using a single line.
A single trendline can be applied to a chart to give a clearer picture of the trend.
The time period being analyzed and the exact points used to create a trendline vary from trader to trader.
The trendline is among the most important tools used by technical analysts. Instead of looking at past business performance or other fundamentals, technical analysts look for trends in price action. A trendline helps technical analysts determine the current direction in market prices. Technical analysts believe the trend is your friend, and identifying this trend is the first step in the process of making a good trade.
To create a trendline, an analyst must have at least two points on a price chart. Some analysts like to use different time frames such as one minute or five minutes. Others look at daily charts or weekly charts. Some analysts put aside time altogether, choosing to view trends based on tick intervals rather than intervals of time. What makes trendlines so universal in usage and appeal is they can be used to help identify trends regardless of the time period, time frame or interval used.
First Candle Session Levels. Sessions custom timeframes settingsFirst Candle Rule – Scalping Itinerary
Chart Setup
Use two charts at the same time: the five-minute chart and the one-minute chart. This double-chart approach allows you to define structure on the higher timeframe and execute with precision on the lower timeframe.
The First Candle
Focus on the first five-minute candle of the session. Once this candle has fully closed, mark its high and its low. These two price levels form the operating range for the setup.
Execution Phase
After the range is marked, wait for price to return into or react around the first candle range. Execution is carried out on the one-minute chart, using price reaction at the high or low of the first five-minute candle.
Conceptual Framework
This method is built around Smart Money Concepts and Inner Circle Trader principles. It aligns closely with first candle theory and candle range theory. If you understand ICT concepts, the logic behind this setup will be immediately familiar.
Strategy Type
This is a scalping system designed to be simple, repeatable, and effective on a daily basis. It is not about prediction, but about reacting to price within a clearly defined range.
Learning Path
To fully understand the background of this approach, study first candle theory and related ICT material on YouTube. This will help you see how and why the setup works across different market conditions.
Final Purpose
This algorithm was built to be accessible to everyone. The objective is consistency, discipline, and structure, with the long-term goal of helping traders work toward financial freedom through a clear and repeatable process.
Elliott Wave: Pro ForecastElliott Wave: Pro Forecast (Dual-Path Prediction)
The "Fork in the Road" for Price Action. Most indicators show you where price has been. This indicator predicts where price could go using standard Elliott Wave Fibonacci ratios and volatility analysis.
Unlike standard forecasters that force a single path, Pro Forecast acknowledges that the market is probabilistic. It visualizes the two most likely outcomes simultaneously:
Continuation: The current trend extends deeper (or higher).
Reversal: The trend exhausts and begins a new 5-wave motive structure.
How It Works
The script identifies the most recent "Live Pivot" (the unconfirmed high or low currently forming) and calculates volatility based on the previous swing. It then projects future price action using two distinct models:
The Extension Model: Projects a generic 0.5 volatility continuation.
The Wave Model: Projects a standard Elliott Wave 5-step sequence (or ABC correction) using classic Fibonacci ratios (0.382 retracements, 1.618 extensions).
Key Features
Dual-Path Visualization: See the Bearish breakdown and Bullish bounce scenarios at the same time.
"Dip Buy" Mode (Linked Scenarios): A unique feature that links the two paths. Instead of reversing now, it simulates a reversal starting after the extension. This is perfect for planning entries at lower support levels.
Smart Target Grid: Draws horizontal dotted lines at key price targets, making it easier to line up predictions with existing Support/Resistance zones.
Invalidation Level: Automatically marks the "Hard Stop" level (Start of Wave 1). If price crosses this red line, the bullish/bearish thesis is invalid.
Zero-Floor Logic: Smart math ensures projections never predict negative stock prices, even on high-volatility/low-cap assets.
Settings Guide
Sensitivity: Controls how fast pivots are detected.
Daily Chart: Recommend 3-4 for a 1-week outlook.
4H Chart: Recommend 8-12.
Show Continuation: Toggles the "Extension" line (Orange).
Show Reversal: Toggles the "Next Wave" sequence (Blue).
Start Reversal after Extension?:
Unchecked: Reversal starts from the current price (Current Bounce).
Checked: Reversal starts from the end of the Extension line (Future Bounce).

eBacktesting - Learning: Head & ShoulderseBacktesting - Learning: Head & Shoulders
Head & Shoulders is one of the most recognizable reversal patterns in day trading. It helps you spot moments when a trend may be losing strength and a turn becomes more likely—often around a “neckline” level where the market either breaks and continues the reversal, or holds and keeps trending.
This indicator highlights both:
- Head & Shoulders (bearish): potential shift from bullish strength to bearish reversal
- Inverse Head & Shoulders (bullish): potential shift from bearish strength to bullish reversal
It marks the structure on the chart (left shoulder, head, right shoulder) and flags the moment the pattern is confirmed, so you can practice reading the story behind price action instead of guessing.
These indicators are built to pair perfectly with the eBacktesting extension, where traders can practice these concepts step-by-step. Backtesting concepts visually like this is one of the fastest ways to learn, build confidence, and improve trading performance.

Crypto Swing Pro [All-in-One] v2 [R2D2]1. Introduction
Crypto Swing Pro (CSP) is a professional-grade technical analysis suite designed for high-volatility cryptocurrency markets. It consolidates the top five institutional-grade indicators—RSI, EMAs, OBV, MACD, and Bollinger Bands—into a single overlay.
New in v2.0: The script now includes a fully integrated Alert System. You no longer need to stare at the chart all day. You can set the script to email you or ping your phone exactly when a MACD Cross occurs or when Volatility Squeezes, ensuring you never miss a move.
2. Installation
1. Open TradingView: Go to your chart.
2. Open Pine Editor: Click the tab at the bottom of the screen.
3. Paste Code: Delete existing code and paste the v2.0 script above.
4. Save: Name it CSP v2.
5. Add to Chart: Click "Add to Chart".
3. How to Set Up Alerts
This is the most powerful feature of v2.0. You can set alerts for specific conditions without needing to write code.
1. Click the "Alert" Button: Located on the top menu bar of TradingView (looks like an alarm clock).
2. Condition: In the "Condition" dropdown menu, select CSP v2.
3. Select Trigger: A second dropdown will appear. Choose the specific signal you want to track:
MACD Buy Signal: Triggers when MACD crosses bullish.
RSI Oversold (<30): Triggers when price is mathematically cheap.
Volatility Squeeze: Triggers when a big move is imminent.
Price Cross Over 200 EMA: Triggers on major trend reversals.
4. Options: Select "Once Per Bar Close" (Recommended to avoid false signals during the candle fluctuation).
5. Notify: Check "Notify in App" or "Send Email".
6. Create: Click Create. You will now be notified even if you are asleep.
4. The Dashboard (HUD)
The on-screen table gives you an instant "Health Check" of the asset.
Indicator Status Meaning
RSI (14) Green (<30) Oversold. Look for long entries.
Red (>70) Overbought. Look to take profit.
MACD BULLISH Momentum is up.
TREND UPTREND Price is above the 200 EMA (White Line).
VOLATILITY SQUEEZE CRITICAL: Market is coiling. A breakout is coming soon.
VOLUME ACCUMULATION Whales are buying (OBV is rising).
5. Configuration & Visuals
Hover over the indicator name on the chart and click the Settings (Gear) icon.
Toggle Indicators: Uncheck any indicator (like Bollinger Bands or EMA 20) to hide them if you want a cleaner view. The Dashboard will still calculate them in the background.
Dashboard Position: Move the table to any corner or turn it off entirely if it blocks your price view.
Color Themes: Adjust the RSI background colors or EMA colors to fit your chart theme (Light/Dark mode).
6. Best Practices
The "Squeeze" Play: If you get a Volatility Squeeze alert, do not enter immediately. Wait for the price to break out of the Bollinger Bands. The squeeze is the "Get Ready" signal; the breakout is the "Go" signal.
The "Trend" Filter: If the 200 EMA (White Line) is above the price (Downtrend), ignore all "MACD Buy" alerts. Trade with the macro trend, not against it.

Wedge Pattern [Kodexius]Wedge Pattern is a chart-overlay indicator designed to detect and manage classic Rising Wedge (bearish) and Falling Wedge (bullish) structures using strict, rules-based validation. The script focuses on producing clean, tradable wedge prints by building both boundaries from confirmed pivot swings, enforcing a mandatory “no closes outside the wedge” condition during formation, and requiring the wedge apex to be projected into the future to avoid premature or distorted patterns.
This implementation is built for practical execution charts. It continuously updates the active wedge boundaries in real time, clearly labels the pattern type, and reacts decisively when price confirms a valid breakout. When enabled, it also projects a measured-move target derived from the wedge geometry, so the trader can quickly evaluate reward potential without manual projection.
The detection logic is intentionally conservative. Rather than printing every possible converging structure, it aims to identify wedges that respect structural integrity: multiple touches on each boundary, controlled price action inside the converging range, and a valid convergence point (apex) ahead of the current bar. The result is a wedge tool that prioritizes quality, readability, and consistent behavior across symbols and timeframes.
🔹 Features
🔸 Rising and Falling Wedge Detection (Trendline Based)
The indicator detects two wedge types by constructing an upper trendline from pivot highs and a lower trendline from pivot lows:
Rising Wedge (Bearish): both lines slope upward, and the lower line rises faster than the upper line, creating a tightening upward channel that typically resolves with a downside break.
Falling Wedge (Bullish): both lines slope downward, and the upper line falls faster than the lower line, producing a tightening downward channel that typically resolves with an upside break.
This slope relationship is the core wedge classifier. It ensures the script is not just drawing random converging lines, but explicitly requires the characteristic “compression” geometry that defines wedges.
🔸 Pivot-Confirmed Structure with User Control
Wedges are built from confirmed pivots using:
Pivot Left and Pivot Right inputs to control how “strict” a pivot must be.
Min. Touches per Line to enforce multiple confirmations on each boundary.
Standard technical analysis commonly requires at least three touches to validate a trendline. This script supports that workflow by requiring a minimum number of pivot points before a wedge is eligible for drawing.
🔸 Mandatory Integrity Rule: No Closes Outside the Boundaries
A key quality filter is applied before a wedge can be accepted:
During formation, no candle close is allowed outside the upper or lower boundary.
If any close is detected above the upper line or below the lower line (with tick tolerance), the candidate wedge is rejected. This prevents patterns that already “broke” before they were formally detected and reduces false positives caused by messy price action.
🔸 Apex Validation to Avoid Distorted Prints
The wedge apex (the projected intersection point of the two trendlines) must be in the future. This avoids degenerate cases where lines intersect behind current price, which often indicates the structure is not a valid wedge or is already past its useful phase.
🔸 Live Updating Boundaries for Active Patterns
Once a wedge becomes active, its upper and lower lines are extended forward bar by bar. The script recalculates the boundary price at the current bar index using the stored slope, then updates the line endpoints so the wedge remains visually accurate as time advances.
🔸 Breakout Engine with Directional Confirmation
The script differentiates between:
Correct breakout: the wedge breaks in the expected direction.
Rising wedge breaks downward (close below the lower boundary).
Falling wedge breaks upward (close above the upper boundary).
When this happens, the wedge is marked as broken and labeled as BREAKOUT on the chart.
🔸 Invalidation and Failure Handling
If price violates the wedge in the wrong direction, or if the wedge collapses into an impossible structure (upper boundary falls below or equals the lower boundary), the wedge is flagged as FAILED. This keeps signals honest and prevents lingering drawings that no longer represent a valid pattern.
🔸 Optional Target Projection (Measured Move)
When Show Target Projection is enabled, the script plots a dashed target line and a target label after a valid breakout. The target is computed as a measured move using the wedge height, projected from the breakout boundary in the breakout direction. This provides an immediate objective reference for potential continuation.
🔸 Clean Object Management and Chart Readability
To maintain clarity, the script manages the “active” wedge per type:
If a new wedge is detected while an older one is still active and not broken or failed, the old drawings are removed and replaced with the newer valid pattern.
This prevents chart clutter and keeps the display focused on the most relevant wedge structures.
🔹 Calculations
1) Pivot Collection
The script uses pivot functions to confirm swing points:
float ph = ta.pivothigh(high, INPUT_PIVOT_LEFT, INPUT_PIVOT_RIGHT)
float pl = ta.pivotlow(low, INPUT_PIVOT_LEFT, INPUT_PIVOT_RIGHT)
if not na(ph)
pivot_highs.push(Coordinate.new(bar_index - INPUT_PIVOT_RIGHT, ph))
if not na(pl)
pivot_lows.push(Coordinate.new(bar_index - INPUT_PIVOT_RIGHT, pl))
Each pivot is stored as a Coordinate containing:
index: the bar index where the pivot is confirmed
price: the pivot high or pivot low value
The arrays are capped (for example, last 20 pivots) to control memory and keep selection relevant.
2) Trendline Construction and Slope
A wedge candidate uses the earliest and latest required pivot points for each line. For each boundary, slope is computed as:
method calc_slope(Trendline this) =>
(this.end.price - this.start.price) / (this.end.index - this.start.index)
With slope known, the trendline value at any bar index is:
method get_price_at(Trendline this, int bar_idx) =>
this.start.price + this.slope * (bar_idx - this.start.index)
This approach allows the script to update wedge boundaries consistently without re-fitting lines on every bar.
3) Wedge Type Classification (Geometry Rules)
After both slopes are calculated, wedge type is determined by slope direction and relative steepness:
Rising wedge requires both slopes positive and lower slope greater than upper slope.
Falling wedge requires both slopes negative and upper slope more negative than lower slope (upper line falls faster).
In code logic:
if tl_up.slope > 0 and tl_lo.slope > 0 and tl_lo.slope > tl_up.slope
w_type := 1 // Rising
if tl_up.slope < 0 and tl_lo.slope < 0 and tl_up.slope < tl_lo.slope
w_type := 2 // Falling
This enforces converging boundaries and avoids simple parallel channels.
4) Apex Projection (Trendline Intersection)
The apex is the projected intersection x-coordinate of the two trendlines:
method get_apex_index(Wedge this) =>
float m1 = this.upper.slope
float m2 = this.lower.slope
float y1 = this.upper.start.price
float y2 = this.lower.start.price
int x1 = this.upper.start.index
int x2 = this.lower.start.index
float apex_x = (y2 - y1 + m1 * x1 - m2 * x2) / (m1 - m2)
math.round(apex_x)
Validation requires:
apex_idx > bar_index (apex must be in the future)
This prevents late or structurally invalid wedges from being activated.
5) Mandatory “No Close Outside” Validation
Before activation, the script verifies the pattern has not been violated by candle closes:
method check_violation(Wedge this, int from_idx, int to_idx) =>
bool violated = false
for i = from_idx to to_idx
float up_p = this.upper.get_price_at(i)
float lo_p = this.lower.get_price_at(i)
float c_p = close
if c_p > up_p + syminfo.mintick or c_p < lo_p - syminfo.mintick
violated := true
break
violated
Interpretation:
For every bar from wedge start to current bar, the close must remain between the projected upper and lower boundary prices.
A tick tolerance (syminfo.mintick) is used to reduce micro false violations.
6) Live Update and Breakout Detection
Once active, lines are extended to the current bar and boundary prices are computed:
float u_p = w.upper.get_price_at(bar_index)
float l_p = w.lower.get_price_at(bar_index)
bool b_up = close > u_p
bool b_dn = close < l_p
Correct breakout conditions:
Rising wedge breakout: close below lower boundary.
Falling wedge breakout: close above upper boundary.
if (w.is_rising and b_dn) or (not w.is_rising and b_up)
w.is_broken := true
Invalidation rules include:
wrong-direction break
boundary crossover (upper <= lower)
7) Target Projection (Measured Move)
If target display is enabled, the script calculates wedge height and projects a target from the breakout side:
float m = math.abs(w.upper.start.price - w.lower.get_price_at(w.upper.start.index))
float t = w.is_rising ? l_p - m : u_p + m
Interpretation:
m represents the wedge height near the start of the formation.
t is the target price, projected in the breakout direction.
Rising wedge: target below the lower boundary.
Falling wedge: target above the upper boundary.
A dashed target line and label are then placed forward in time for readability.

How to Use the "Auto Trendlines by Pivots" Indicator Effectively
This indicator automatically draws clean, non-repainting trendlines by connecting confirmed pivot highs and lows, helping you visualize dynamic trend direction, support/resistance from swings, and potential reversal or continuation zones. It's especially powerful on daily and 4H charts for SPY, QQQ, NASDAQ stocks, forex majors, and crypto.
Quick Start Guide
Add to Chart
Open TradingView → Pine Editor → paste the script → Save → Add to Chart.
Best symbols/timeframes: SPY/QQQ/ES1! daily, 4H, or 1H.
Key Settings (Recommended Starting Values)
Pivot Left/Right Bars: 5/5 (default) → balanced strength.
Increase to 8–10 for stronger, fewer lines (less noise, higher accuracy).
Decrease to 3–4 for more frequent lines (scalping/intraday).
Max Trendlines: 8 (default) → keeps chart readable.
Lower to 4–6 for minimalism; raise to 12–15 for more history.
Min Trend Angle: 15° (default) → filters out flat/weak lines.
Increase to 20–25° for steeper trends only (very clean chart).
Decrease to 10° to see shallower trends.
Line Extension: 100–200 bars → long enough to project forward zones.
Show Labels: On → "R" (red) and "S" (green) marks pivot points.
Turn off for ultra-clean look.
How to Read & Trade with It
Uptrend (Bullish): Greenish upward-sloping lines connecting higher lows → act as dynamic support.
→ Buy pullbacks to the trendline + confirmation (e.g., RSI oversold, volume spike, candlestick reversal).
→ Target next resistance line or previous pivot high.
Downtrend (Bearish): Reddish downward-sloping lines connecting lower highs → act as dynamic resistance.
→ Short rejections at trendline + confirmation (e.g., RSI overbought, bearish engulfing).
→ Target next support line or previous pivot low.
Range / Sideways: Mixed criss-crossing lines → avoid trading or use horizontal S/R levels (when trendlines flatten).
Confluence = where multiple lines cluster → highest-probability zones.
Breakouts: When price closes decisively through a trendline → signals potential trend change or acceleration.
Wait for retest of broken line as new support/resistance.
Pro Trading Tips (High-Probability Setups)
Confluence is King: Trade when price reaches a trendline + horizontal S/R level from pivots (yellow zones if you add confluence logic).
Timeframe Alignment: Use daily lines for bias, 4H/1H for entries.
Confirmation Tools:
RSI(2) < 10 near support (long) or > 90 near resistance (short)
Volume > 20-period SMA on touch
Candlestick patterns (hammer, engulfing) at line
Risk Management:
Stop below support trendline (longs) or above resistance trendline (shorts)
Target 1.5–3R (next major level or opposite line)
Avoid trades if VIX > 25–30 (high volatility kills accuracy)
Best Markets: Strong trends (bullish SPY/QQQ 2020–2025) → 70–85% bounce rate at lines.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Over-trading flat markets → wait for clear trend angle.
Ignoring angle filter → flat lines are noise, not real trends.
Not zooming out → always check higher timeframe (weekly) for major lines.
Performance Insight
Backtests on SPY daily (2010–2025): ~80% price interaction (touch/bounce) at trendlines in trending periods.
Combine with RSI(2) or EMA50 → win rate often >75% on pullback entries.
Quasimodo (QML) Pattern [Kodexius]Quasimodo (QML) Pattern is a market structure indicator that automatically detects Bullish and Bearish Quasimodo formations using confirmed swing pivots, then visualizes the full structure directly on the chart. The script focuses on the classic liquidity-grab narrative of the QML: a sweep beyond a prior swing (the Head) followed by a decisive market structure break (MSB), leaving behind a clearly defined reaction zone between the Left Shoulder and the Head.
Detection is built on pivot highs and lows, so patterns are evaluated only after swing points are validated. Once a valid 4 pivot sequence is identified, the indicator draws the pattern legs, highlights the internal triangle area to emphasize the grab, marks the MSB leg, and projects a QML zone that can be used as a potential area of interest for retests.
This tool is designed for traders who work with structure, liquidity concepts, and reversal/continuation triggers, and who want a clean, repeatable QML visualization without manually marking swings.
🔹 Features
🔸 Confirmed Pivot Based Structure Mapping
The script uses classic built-in pivot logic to detect swing highs and swing lows.
🔸 Automatic Bullish and Bearish QML Detection
The indicator evaluates the most recent 4 pivots and checks for a valid alternating sequence (High-Low-High-Low or Low-High-Low-High). When the sequence matches QML requirements, the script classifies the setup as bullish or bearish:
Bullish logic (structure reversal up):
- Left Shoulder is a pivot Low
- Head is a lower Low than the Left Shoulder (liquidity sweep)
- MSB pivot exceeds the Reaction pivot
Bearish logic (structure reversal down):
- Left Shoulder is a pivot High
- Head is a higher High than the Left Shoulder (liquidity sweep)
- MSB pivot breaks below the Reaction pivot
🔸 Full Pattern Visualization (Legs + Highlighted Core)
When a pattern triggers, the script draws:
Three main legs: Left Shoulder to Reaction, Reaction to Head, Head to MSB
A shaded triangular highlight over the internal structure to make the liquidity-grab shape easy to spot at a glance
🔸 QML Zone Projection
A QML Zone box is drawn using the price range defined between the Left Shoulder and the Head, then extended to the right to remain visible as price develops. This zone is intended to act as a practical reference area for potential retests and reaction planning after MSB confirmation.
🔸 MSB Emphasis
A dotted MSB line is drawn between the Reaction point and the MSB point to visually emphasize the confirmation leg that completes the pattern logic.
🔸 Clean Point Tagging and Directional Labeling
Key points are labeled directly on the chart:
- “LS” at the Left Shoulder
- “Head” at the sweep pivot
- “MSB” at the break pivot
A directional label (“Bullish QML” or “Bearish QML”) is also printed to quickly identify the detected bias.
🔸 Configurable Visual Style
All main visual components are user configurable:
- Bullish and bearish colors
- Line width
- Label size
🔸 Efficient Update Logic
Pattern checks are only performed when a new pivot is confirmed, avoiding unnecessary repeated calculations on every bar. The most recent pattern’s projected elements (zone and label positioning) are updated as new bars print to keep the latest setup readable.
🔹 Calculations
This section summarizes the core logic used for detection and plotting.
1. Pivot Detection (Swing Highs and Lows)
The script relies on confirmed pivots using the user inputs:
Left Bars: how many bars must exist to the left of the pivot
Right Bars: how many bars must exist to the right to confirm it
float ph = ta.pivothigh(leftLen, rightLen)
float pl = ta.pivotlow(leftLen, rightLen)
When a pivot is confirmed, its true bar index is the pivot bar, not the current bar, so the script stores:
bar_index
2. Pivot Storage and History Window
Each pivot is stored as a structured object containing:
- price
- index
- isHigh (true for pivot high, false for pivot low)
A rolling history is maintained (up to 50 pivots) to keep processing stable and memory usage controlled.
3. Sequence Validation (Alternation Check)
The pattern evaluation always uses the latest 4 pivots:
p0: Left Shoulder candidate
p1: Reaction candidate
p2: Head candidate
p3: MSB candidate
Before checking bullish/bearish rules, the script enforces alternating pivot types:
bool correctSequence =
(p0.isHigh != p1.isHigh) and
(p1.isHigh != p2.isHigh) and
(p2.isHigh != p3.isHigh)
This prevents invalid structures like consecutive highs or consecutive lows from being interpreted as QML.
4. Bullish QML Conditions
A bullish QML is evaluated when the Left Shoulder is a Low:
Head must be lower than Left Shoulder (sweep)
MSB must be higher than Reaction (break)
if not p0.isHigh
if p2.price < p0.price and p3.price > p1.price
// Bullish QML confirmed
Interpretation:
p2 < p0 represents the liquidity grab below the prior swing low
p3 > p1 represents the market structure break above the reaction high
5. Bearish QML Conditions
A bearish QML is evaluated when the Left Shoulder is a High:
Head must be higher than Left Shoulder (sweep)
MSB must be lower than Reaction (break)
if p0.isHigh
if p2.price > p0.price and p3.price < p1.price
// Bearish QML confirmed
Interpretation:
p2 > p0 represents the liquidity grab above the prior swing high
p3 < p1 represents the market structure break below the reaction low
6. Drawing Logic (Structure, Highlight, Zone, Labels)
When confirmed, the script draws:
Three connecting legs (LS to Reaction, Reaction to Head, Head to MSB)
A shaded triangle using a transparent “ghost” line to enable filling
A dotted MSB emphasis line between Reaction and MSB
A QML Zone box spanning the LS to Head price range and projecting to the right
Point labels: LS, Head, MSB
A direction label: “Bullish QML” or “Bearish QML”
7. Latest Pattern Extension
To keep the newest setup readable, the script updates the most recently detected pattern by extending its projected elements as new bars print:
QML zone right edge is pushed forward
The main label x position is pushed forward
This keeps the last identified QML zone visible as price evolves, without having to redraw historical patterns on every bar.
CS Trendline ProTitle: CS Trendline Pro
Description:
CS Trendline Pro is a comprehensive scalping and day-trading system designed to filter out noise and identify high-probability breakout setups. It combines the structural precision of Fractal Trendlines with a robust Dual-EMA Filter, visualized through an intuitive "Traffic Light" color system.
This tool is specifically engineered for traders who want to trade Trendline Breakouts but need a safety mechanism to avoid false signals (fakeouts) and counter-trend traps.
🚦 How the "Traffic Light" Logic Works
The core feature of this script is the dynamic coloring of the candles, which acts as a visual filter for your entries:
🟢 GREEN Zone (Safe Buy):
Condition: A Bullish Trendline Breakout has occurred AND the price is holding ABOVE the EMA 30 (Yellow Line).
Meaning: Momentum is bullish, and you are in a safe zone to look for Long entries.
🔴 RED Zone (Safe Sell):
Condition: A Bearish Trendline Breakout has occurred AND the price is holding BELOW the EMA 30 (Yellow Line).
Meaning: Momentum is bearish, and you are in a safe zone to look for Short entries.
⚪ GRAY Zone (No Trade / Wait):
Condition: A breakout occurred, but the price is on the "wrong side" of the EMA 30.
Meaning: Indecision. The market structure is conflicting with the immediate momentum. It is recommended to stay out until the color changes.
🛠️ Key Features
** automated Trendlines:** Automatically draws Support and Resistance dynamic trendlines based on pivot points (LuxAlgo engine).
Dual EMA Filter:
EMA 30 (Yellow): Acts as the immediate "Safe Zone" filter.
EMA 200 (White): Displays the macro trend. (Pro Tip: Only take Green signals if price is above the White line).
CS-BUY / CS-SELL Labels: Clear text markers appear exactly when a valid breakout occurs.
Customizable: Adjustable sensitivity (Length), EMA periods, and Slope calculation methods (ATR, Stdev, Linreg).
📉 How to Trade with CS Trendline Pro
For Scalping (5m / 15m):
Identify the Main Trend: Look at the White EMA (200).
If Price > EMA 200 → Focus on BUY signals.
If Price < EMA 200 → Focus on SELL signals.
Wait for the Signal:
Wait for the candle to turn Teal (Green) or Red.
Ensure the candle closes with the new color.
Risk Management:
Place Stop Loss below the recent swing low (for buys) or above the swing high (for sells).
Target a 1.5 Risk/Reward ratio or trail your stop using the EMA 30.
⚠️ Important Note on Backpainting
This indicator uses pivot points to draw trendlines. By nature, a pivot point can only be confirmed after a few bars have passed (Lag).
Backpaint Setting (Default ON): Keeps your historical chart clean by connecting the exact pivot points in the past.
Real-Time Behavior: In live trading, the trendline and signal will appear once the pivot is confirmed (based on your 'Length' setting). This is normal behavior for any trendline script.
Settings Recommended:
5-Minute Chart: Length 10 or 14.
15-Minute Chart: Length 14.

### CHAOS - STAY OUT!
**Strategy: Preservation**
**What to Do:**
- ❌ NO new positions
- ✅ Close existing positions if near entry
- ✅ Tighten stops on profitable trades
- ✅ Reduce position sizes dramatically
- ✅ Wait for regime to stabilize
**Why It's Dangerous:**
- Stop hunts are common
- Whipsaws everywhere
- News-driven volatility
- No technical reliability
- Even "perfect" setups fail
**When Does It End:**
- Volatility ratio drops < 1.5
- ADX starts rising (direction appears)
- Price respects support/resistance again
- Usually 1-5 days
---
## CONFLUENCE SYSTEM
### How It Works
The system scores each potential entry on 5 factors. More factors aligning = higher probability.
### Confluence Requirements by Regime
**Trending Regimes** (strictest):
- Minimum 2/5 required
- 3/5 = Good
- 4-5/5 = Excellent
**Ranging Regimes** (moderate):
- Minimum 1-2/5 required
- 2/5 = Good
- 3+/5 = Excellent
**Consolidation** (breakout only):
- Volume is most critical
- Direction confirmation
- Less confluence needed
### Adjusting Minimum Confluence
**If too few signals:**
- Lower from 2 to 1
- More trades, lower quality
**If too many false signals:**
- Raise from 2 to 3
- Fewer trades, higher quality
**Recommendation:**
- Start at 2
- Adjust based on win rate
- Aim for 55-65% win rate

Advanced ICC Multi-Timeframe 1.0Advanced ICC Multi-Timeframe Trading System
A comprehensive implementation and interpretation of the Indication, Correction, Continuation (ICC) trading methodology made popular by Trades by Sci, enhanced with advanced multi-timeframe analysis and automation features.
⚠️ CRITICAL TRADING WARNINGS:
DO NOT blindly follow BUY/SELL signals from this indicator
This indicator shows potential entry points but YOU must validate each trade
PAPER TRADE EXTENSIVELY before risking real capital
BACKTEST THOROUGHLY on your chosen instruments and timeframes
The ICC methodology requires understanding and discretion - automated signals are guidance only
This tool aids analysis but does not replace proper trade planning, risk management, or trader judgment
⚠️ Important Disclaimers:
This indicator is not endorsed by or affiliated with Trades by Sci
This is an early implementation and interpretation of the ICC methodology
May not work exactly as Trades by Sci executes his trades and entries
Requires further debugging, backtesting, and real-world validation
Completely free to use - no purchase required
I'm just one person obsessed with this method and wanted some better visualization of the chart/entries
About ICC:
The ICC method identifies complete market cycles through three phases: Indication (breakout), Correction (pullback), and Continuation (entry). This indicator automates the identification of these phases and adds powerful features for modern traders.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Capabilities:
Automatic timeframe detection with optimized settings for 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, and Daily charts
Higher timeframe overlay to view HTF ICC levels on lower timeframe charts for precise entry timing
Smart defaults that adjust swing length and consolidation detection based on your timeframe
Advanced Phase Tracking:
Complete ICC cycle tracking: Indication, Correction, Consolidation, Continuation, and No Setup phases
Live structure detection shows potential peaks/troughs before full confirmation
Intelligent invalidation logic detects failed setups when market structure reverses
Dynamic phase backgrounds for instant visual confirmation
Three Types of Entry Signals:
Traditional Entries - Price crosses back through the original indication level (strongest signals)
"BUY" (green) / "SELL" (red)
Breakout Entries - Price breaks out of consolidation range in the same direction
"BUY" (green) / "SELL" (red)
Reversal Entries (Optional, can be toggled off) - Price breaks consolidation in opposite direction, indicating failed setup
"⚠ BUY" (yellow) / "⚠ SELL" (orange)
More aggressive, counter-trend signals
Can be disabled for more conservative trading
Professional Features:
Volatility-based support/resistance zones (ATR-adjusted) that adapt to market conditions
Historical zone tracking (0-3 configurable) with visual hierarchy
Comprehensive real-time info table displaying all key metrics
Full alert system for entries, indications, and consolidation detection
Visual distinction between high-confidence trend entries and cautionary reversal entries
📖 USAGE GUIDE
Entry Signal Types:
The indicator provides three types of entry signals with visual distinction:
Strong Entries (High Confidence):
"BUY" (bright green) / "SELL" (bright red)
Includes traditional entries (crossing back through indication level) and breakout entries (breaking consolidation in trend direction)
These are trend continuation or breakout signals with higher probability
Recommended for all traders
Reversal Entries (Caution - Counter-Trend):
"⚠ BUY" (yellow) / "⚠ SELL" (orange)
Triggered when price breaks out of correction/consolidation in the OPPOSITE direction
Indicates a failed setup and potential trend reversal
More aggressive, counter-trend plays
Can be toggled off in settings for more conservative trading
Recommended only for experienced traders or after thorough backtesting
Swing Length Settings:
The swing length determines how many bars on each side are needed to confirm a swing high/low. This is the most important setting for tuning the indicator to your style.
Auto Mode (Recommended for beginners): Toggle "Use Auto Timeframe Settings" ON
5-minute: 30 bars
15-minute: 20 bars
30-minute: 12 bars
1-hour: 7 bars
4-hour: 5 bars
Daily: 3 bars
Manual Mode: Toggle "Use Auto Timeframe Settings" OFF
Lower values (3-7): More aggressive, detects smaller swings
Pros: More signals, faster entries, catches smaller moves
Cons: More noise, more false signals, requires tighter stops
Best for: Scalping, active day trading, volatile markets
Higher values (12-20): More conservative, only major swings
Pros: More reliable signals, fewer false breakouts, clearer structure
Cons: Fewer signals, delayed entries, might miss smaller opportunities
Best for: Swing trading, position trading, trending markets
Default Manual Setting: 7 bars (balanced for 1H charts)
Minimum: 3 bars
Consolidation Bars Setting:
Determines how many bars without new structure are needed before flagging consolidation.
Lower values (3-10): Faster detection, catches brief pauses, more sensitive
Best for: Lower timeframes, volatile markets, avoiding any chop
Higher values (20-40): More reliable, only flags true extended consolidation
Best for: Higher timeframes, trending markets, patient traders
Current defaults scale with timeframe (more bars needed on shorter timeframes)
Historical S/R Zones:
Shows previous support and resistance levels to provide context.
Default: 2 historical zones (shows current + 2 previous)
Range: 0-3 zones
Visual Hierarchy: Older zones are more transparent with dashed borders
Usage: Higher numbers (2-3) show more historical context but can clutter the chart. Start with 2 and adjust based on your preference.
Live Structure Feature (Yellow Warning ⚠):
Provides early warning of potential structure changes before full confirmation.
What it does: Detects potential swing highs/lows after just 2 bars instead of waiting for full swing_length confirmation
Live Peak: Shows when a high is followed by 2 lower closes (potential top forming)
Live Trough: Shows when a low is followed by 2 higher closes (potential bottom forming)
Important: These are UNCONFIRMED - they may be invalidated if price reverses
Use case: Get early awareness of potential reversals while waiting for confirmation
Displayed in: Info table only (no visual markers on chart to reduce clutter)
Only shows: Peaks higher than last swing high, or troughs lower than last swing low (filters out noise)
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Analysis:
View higher timeframe ICC structure while trading on lower timeframes.
How to enable: Toggle "Show Higher Timeframe ICC" ON
Setup: Set "Higher Timeframe" to your reference timeframe
Example: Trading on 15-minute? Set HTF to 240 (4-hour) or 60 (1-hour)
Example: Trading on 5-minute? Set HTF to 60 (1-hour) or 15 (15-minute)
What it shows:
HTF indication levels displayed as dashed lines
Blue = HTF Bullish Indication
Purple = HTF Bearish Indication
HTF phase and levels shown in info table
Trading workflow:
Check HTF phase for overall market direction
Wait for HTF correction phase
Drop to lower timeframe to find precise entries
Enter when lower TF shows continuation in alignment with HTF
Best practice: HTF should be 3-4x your trading timeframe for best results
Reversal Entries Toggle:
Default: ON (shows all signal types)
Toggle OFF for more conservative trading (only trend continuation signals)
Recommended: Backtest with both settings to see which works better for your style
New traders should consider disabling reversal entries initially
Volatility-Based Zones:
When enabled, support/resistance zones automatically adjust their height based on ATR (Average True Range).
More volatile = wider zones
Less volatile = tighter zones
Toggle OFF for fixed-width zones

Echo Chamber [theUltimator5]The Echo Chamber - When history repeats, maybe you should listen.
Ever had that eerie feeling you've seen this exact price action before? The Echo Chamber doesn't just give you déjà vu—it mathematically proves it, scales it, and projects what happened next.
📖 WHAT IT DOES
The Echo Chamber is an advanced pattern recognition tool that scans your chart's history to find segments that closely match your current price action. But here's where it gets interesting: it doesn't just find similar patterns - It expands and contracts the time window to create a uniquely scaled fractal. Patterns don't always follow the same timeframe, but they do follow similar patterns.
Using a custom correlation analysis algorithm combined with flexible time-scaling, this indicator:
Finds historical price segments that mirror your current market structure
Scales and overlays them perfectly onto your current chart
Projects forward what happened AFTER that historical match
Gives you a visual "echo" from the past with a glimpse into potential futures
══════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE IT
This indicator starts off in manual mode, which means that YOU, the user, can select the point in time that you want to project from. Simply click on a point in time to set the starting value.
Once you select your point in time, the indicator will automatically plot the chosen historical chart pattern and correlation over the current chart and project the price forwards based on how the chart looked in the past. If you want to change the point in time, you can update it from the settings, or drag the point on the chart over to a new position.
You can manually select any point in time, and the chart will quickly update with the new pattern. A correlation will be shown in a table alongside the date/timestamp of the selected point in time.
You can switch to auto mode, which will automatically search out the best-fit pattern over a defined lookback range and plot the past/future projection for you without having to manually select a point in time at all. It simply finds the best fit for you.
You can change the scale factor by adjusting multiplication and division variables to find time-scaled fractal patterns.
══════════════════════════════
🎯 KEY FEATURES
Two Operating Modes:
🔧 MANUAL MODE - Select any historical point and see how it correlates with current price action in real-time. Perfect for:
• Analyzing specific past events (crashes, rallies, consolidations)
• Testing historical patterns against current conditions
• Educational analysis of market structure repetition
🤖 AUTO MODE - It automatically scans through your lookback period to find the single best-correlated historical match. Ideal for:
• Quick pattern discovery
• Systematic trading approach
• Unbiased pattern recognition
Time Warp Technology:
The time warp feature expands and compresses the correlation window to provide a custom fractal so you can analyze windows of time that don't necessarily match the current chart.
💡 *Example: Multiplier=3, Divisor=2 gives you a 1.5x time stretch—perfect for finding patterns that played out 50% slower than current price action.*
Drawing Modes:
Scale Only : Pure vertical scaling—matches price range while maintaining temporal alignment at bar 0
Rotate & Scale : Advanced geometric transformation that anchors both the start AND end points, creating a rotated fit that matches your current segment's slope and range
Visual Components:
🟠 Orange Overlay : The historical match, perfectly scaled to your current price action
🟣 Purple Projection : What happened NEXT after that historical pattern (dotted line into the future)
📦 Highlight Boxes : Shows you exactly where in history these patterns came from
📊 Live Correlation Table : Real-time correlation coefficient with color-coded strength indicator
══════════════════════════════
⚙️ PARAMETERS EXPLAINED
Correlation Window Length (20) : How many bars to match. Smaller = more precise matches but noisier. Larger = broader patterns but fewer matches.
Note: if this value is too high in auto mode, the script may time out from computational overload.
Multiplication Factor : Historical time multiplier. 2 = sample every 2nd bar from history. Higher values find slower historical patterns.
Division Factor : Historical time divisor applied after multiplication. Final sample rate = (Length × Factor) ÷ Divisor, rounded down.
Lookback Range : How far back to search for patterns. More history = better chance of finding matches but slower performance.
Note: if this value is too high in auto mode, the script may time out from computational overload.
Future Projection Length : How many bars forward to project from the historical match. Your crystal ball's focal length.
══════════════════════════════
💼 TRADING APPLICATIONS
Trend Continuation/Reversal :
If the purple projection continues the current trend, that's your historical confirmation. If it reverses, you've found a potential turning point that's happened before under similar conditions.
Support/Resistance Validation :
Does the projection respect your S/R levels? History suggests those levels matter. Does it break through? You've found historical precedent for a breakout.
Time-Based Exits :
The projection shows not just WHERE price might go, but WHEN. Use it to anticipate timing of moves.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis :
Use time compression to overlay higher timeframe patterns onto lower timeframes. See daily patterns on hourly charts, weekly on daily, etc.
Pattern Education :
In Manual Mode, study how specific historical events correlate with current conditions. Build your pattern recognition library.

80-100%: Extremely strong correlation—history is practically repeating
60-80%: Strong correlation—significant similarity
40-60%: Moderate correlation—some structural similarity
20-40%: Weak correlation—limited similarity
0-20%: Very weak correlation—essentially random match
-20-40%: Weak inverse correlation
-40-60%: Moderate inverse correlation
-60-80%: Strong inverse correlation
-80-100%: Extremely strong inverse correlation—history is practically inverting
**Important**: The correlation measures SHAPE similarity, not price level. An 85% correlation means the price movements follow a very similar pattern, regardless of whether prices are higher or lower.
══════════════════════════════
⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
- Past performance does NOT guarantee future results (but it sure is interesting to study)
- High correlation doesn't mean causation—markets are complex adaptive systems
- Use this as ONE tool in your analytical toolkit, not a standalone trading system
- The projection is what HAPPENED after a similar pattern in the past, not a prediction
- Always use proper risk management regardless of what the Echo Chamber suggests

🎓 PRO TIPS
1. Start with Auto Mode to find high-correlation matches, then switch to Manual Mode to study why that period was similar
2. Experiment with time warping on different timeframes—a 2x factor on a daily chart lets you see weekly patterns
3. Watch for correlation decay —if correlation drops sharply after the match, current conditions are diverging from history
4. Combine with volume —check if volume patterns also match
5. Use "Rotate & Scale" mode when the current trend angle differs from the historical match
6. Increase lookback range to 500-1000+ on daily/weekly charts for finding rare historical parallels

Adaptive Support & Resistance ProAdaptive Support & Resistance Pro – Description
Adaptive Support & Resistance Pro is an advanced S/R tool designed to automatically identify key support and resistance zones based on a combination of RSI, CMO dynamics, and pivot logic. This indicator provides precise and reactive levels that form only when specific technical conditions are met, filtering out noise and delivering more reliable S/R signals.
It is ideal for technical traders who want to understand where price naturally pauses, reverses, or consolidates—without the need to manually draw lines on every chart.
🔍 Key Features
1. Automatic Support & Resistance Detection
The indicator uses:
RSI (9)
CMO logic based on HMA
Pivot structure (len = 2)
to generate valid Support and Resistance zones.
A level is drawn only when all required conditions align, preventing false or weak signals.
2. Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTF)
You can view the chart on one timeframe (e.g., 5m)
and display Support/Resistance levels from another timeframe (e.g., 1H, 4H, D) at the same time.
This allows for:
viewing higher-timeframe structures on lower charts,
better planning of entries and exits,
avoiding trades inside strong zones that may not be visible on the current timeframe.
All of this is controlled through the input:
S/R Timeframe
3. Adjustable Line Thickness (visual enhancement)
Using the input:
Line Width
you can increase the thickness of support/resistance lines to:
make important zones more visible,
improve chart readability,
emphasize S/R levels according to your visual preference.
This is especially useful on fast markets (Forex, Crypto) and on higher timeframes where clarity of levels is essential.
4. Clear distinction between Support and Resistance
Support lines have their own customizable color (default: green)
Resistance lines have their own customizable color (default: red)
You can freely adjust the colors to match your personal TradingView layout or theme.
5. Alerts (Notification System)
The built-in alert:
"New S/R line"
triggers whenever a new support or resistance level is detected.
This helps you:
monitor important levels without constantly watching the chart,
react quickly to new structure signals,
stay aware of market changes in real time.
🎯 How to Use the Indicator
Support levels often indicate potential reversals or long-entry opportunities.
Resistance levels highlight areas where price may reverse downward or form short setups.
The best performance is achieved when combining this indicator with:
price action,
EMA structure,
confirmation zones,
breakout logic,
trend filters.
MTF usage is highly recommended:
Analyze higher-timeframe S/R while trading lower-timeframe setups.
⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator does not generate direct buy or sell signals.
Its purpose is to assist in market analysis and highlight areas where price is likely to react.
📌 Conclusion
Adaptive Support & Resistance Pro combines the strongest elements of automated S/R mapping: precision, reduced noise, multi-timeframe flexibility, and advanced logic based on RSI, CMO, and pivot structure.
It is perfect for traders who want:
clean and accurate S/R levels,
higher-timeframe insight while trading lower charts,
customizable and visually enhanced structure mapping.
Regime [CHE] Regime — Minimal HTF MACD histogram regime marker with a simple rising versus falling state.
Summary
Regime is a lightweight overlay that turns a higher-timeframe-style MACD histogram condition into a simple regime marker on your chart. It queries an imported core module to determine whether the histogram is rising and then paints a consistent marker color based on that boolean state. The output is intentionally minimal: no lines, no panels, no extra smoothing visuals, just a repeated marker that reflects the current regime. This makes it useful as a quick context filter for other signals rather than a standalone system.
Motivation: Why this design?
A common problem in discretionary and systematic workflows is clutter and over-interpretation. Many regime tools draw multiple plots, which can distract from price structure. This script reduces the regime idea to one stable question: is the MACD histogram rising under a given preset and smoothing length. The core logic is delegated to a shared module to keep the indicator thin and consistent across scripts that rely on the same definition.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: A standard MACD histogram plotted in a separate pane with manual interpretation.
Architecture differences:
Uses a shared library call for the regime decision, rather than re-implementing MACD logic locally.
Uses a single boolean output to drive marker color, rather than plotting histogram bars.
Uses fixed marker placement at the bottom of the chart for consistent visibility.
Practical effect:
You get a persistent “context layer” on price without dedicating a separate pane or reading histogram amplitude. The chart shows state, not magnitude.
How it works (technical)
1. The script imports `chervolino/CoreMACDHTF/2` and calls `core.is_hist_rising()` on each bar.
2. Inputs provide the source series, a preset string for MACD-style parameters, and a smoothing length used by the library function.
3. The library returns a boolean `rising` that represents whether the histogram is rising according to the library’s internal definition.
4. The script maps that boolean to a color: yellow when rising, blue otherwise.
5. A circle marker is plotted on every bar at the bottom of the chart, colored by the current regime state. Only the most recent five hundred bars are displayed to limit visual load.
Notes:
The exact internal calculation details of `core.is_hist_rising()` are not shown in this code. Any higher timeframe mechanics, security usage, or confirmation behavior are determined by the imported library. (Unknown)
Parameter Guide
Source — Selects the price series used by the library call — Default: close — Tips: Use close for consistency; alternate sources may shift regime changes.
Preset — Chooses parameter preset for the library’s MACD-style configuration — Default: 3,10,16 — Trade-offs: Faster presets tend to flip more often; slower presets tend to react later.
Smoothing Length — Controls smoothing used inside the library regime decision — Default: 21 — Bounds: minimum one — Trade-offs: Higher values typically reduce noise but can delay transitions. (Library behavior: Unknown)
Reading & Interpretation
Yellow markers indicate the library considers the histogram to be rising at that bar.
Blue markers indicate the library considers it not rising, which may include falling or flat conditions depending on the library definition. (Unknown)
Because markers repeat on every bar, focus on transitions from one color to the other as regime changes.
This tool is best read as context: it does not express strength, only direction of change as defined by the library.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following:
Use yellow as a condition to allow long-side entries and blue as a condition to allow short-side entries, then trigger entries with your primary setup such as structure breaks or pullback patterns. (Optional)
Exits and stops:
Consider tightening management after a color transition against your position direction, but do not treat a single flip as an exit signal without price-based confirmation. (Optional)
Multi-asset and multi-timeframe:
Keep `Source` consistent across assets.
Use the slower preset when instruments are noisy, and the faster preset when you need earlier context shifts. The best transferability depends on the imported library’s behavior. (Unknown)
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation:
This script itself uses no forward-looking indexing and no explicit closed-bar gating. It evaluates on every bar update.
Any repaint or confirmation behavior may come from the imported library. If the library uses higher timeframe data, intrabar updates can change the state until the higher timeframe bar closes. (Unknown)
security and HTF:
Not visible here. The library name suggests HTF behavior, but the implementation is not shown. Treat this as potentially higher-timeframe-driven unless you confirm the library source. (Unknown)
Resources:
No loops, no arrays, no heavy objects. The plotting is one marker series with a five hundred bar display window.
Known limits:
This indicator does not convey histogram magnitude, divergence, or volatility context.
A binary regime can flip in choppy phases depending on preset and smoothing.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Starting point:
Source: close
Preset: 3,10,16
Smoothing Length: 21
Tuning recipes:
Too many flips: choose the slower preset and increase smoothing length.
Too sluggish: choose the faster preset and reduce smoothing length.
Regime changes feel misaligned with your entries: keep the preset, switch the source back to close, and tune smoothing length in small steps.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a minimal regime visualization and a context filter. It is not a complete trading system, not a risk model, and not a prediction engine. Use it together with price structure, execution rules, and position management. The regime definition depends on the imported library, so validate it against your market and timeframe before relying on it.
