Created by: MecarderoAurum
Why This Indicator Exists: An Overview
The "Key Session Levels" indicator is a comprehensive tool for day traders that automatically plots the most critical price levels from the current premarket and the previous two full trading days. These levels are watched by countless traders and often act as significant areas of support and resistance.
This indicator provides a clear, objective map of these key zones, helping traders anticipate potential turning points, identify areas of confluence, and make more informed trading decisions without having to manually draw and manage these lines every day.
Features & How to Use Them
This indicator plots several types of important historical levels on your chart. Each one is fully customizable.
1. Premarket Levels (PMH / PML)
What they are: The highest (PMH) and lowest (PML) prices reached during the current day's premarket session (04:00 - 09:30 ET).
Why they matter: The premarket high and low are the first significant levels established for the trading day. They often act as initial support or resistance once the market opens.
How to use them: In the settings under "Premarket Levels," you can toggle the visibility of the PMH and PML, and customize their color, line style, and width.
2. Prior Day Levels (PDH / PDL / PDM / PDP)
What they are: The key price points from the previous full trading day.
PDH: Prior Day High
PDL: Prior Day Low
PDM: Prior Day Midpoint (the exact middle of the PDH and PDL)
PDP: Prior Day Pivot (a classic pivot point calculation)
Why they matter: These are often the most important levels for the current trading day. The market frequently tests the previous day's high and low.
How to use them: Under the "Prior Day" settings, you can enable or disable each of these four levels and customize their appearance.
3. 2-Day Prior Levels (PDH2 / PDL2 / etc.)
What they are: The same set of key levels (High, Low, Mid, Pivot) from two trading days ago.
Why they matter: These levels can still be highly relevant, especially if the market is trading within a multi-day range or returning to test a significant prior level.
How to use them: Under the "2-Day Prior" settings, you can customize the visibility and style of these levels. They are styled with more transparency by default to distinguish them from the more recent prior day's levels.
4. General Settings
Days of History: This setting allows you to control how many past days of historical lines are kept on your chart. This is excellent for back-testing strategies and seeing how price has reacted to these levels in the past.
Label Settings: You can customize the color and size of the on-chart labels (e.g., "PDH," "PML") for better visibility.
Sample Strategy: The Key Level Rejection
This strategy focuses on using the indicator's levels to identify potential reversals at key areas of support or resistance.
Identify a Key Level: Watch as the price approaches a significant level plotted by the indicator, such as the Prior Day High (PDH) or the Premarket Low (PML).
Look for Rejection: Do not trade simply because the price touches the level. Wait for a price action signal that confirms the level is holding. This could be a bearish engulfing candle or a shooting star pattern at a resistance level like PDH, or a bullish hammer or morning star pattern at a support level like PML.
Entry: Once you see a clear rejection candle, enter a trade in the direction of the rejection. For a bearish rejection at the PDH, you would enter a short position.
Stop-Loss: A logical place for a stop-loss is just above the high of the rejection candle (for a short trade) or just below the low of the rejection candle (for a long trade). This defines your risk clearly.
Profit Target: Your first profit target could be the next key level plotted by the indicator. For example, if you shorted a rejection at the PDH, your first target might be the Premarket High (PMH) or the day's opening price.

Zone Shift [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
Zone Shift is a dynamic trend detection tool that uses EMA/HMA-based bands to determine trend shifts and plot key reaction levels. It highlights trend direction through colored candles and marks important retests with visual cues to help traders stay aligned with momentum.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Dynamic EMA-HMA Band:
Creates a three-line channel using the average of an EMA and HMA for the midline, and expands it using average candle range to form upper and lower bounds. This band visually adapts to market volatility.
float ema = ta.ema(close, length)
float hma = ta.hma(close, length-40)
float dist = ta.sma(high-low, 200)
float mid = math.avg(ema, hma)
float top = mid + dist
float bot = mid - dist
Trend Detection (Band Cross Logic):
Detects an uptrend when the Low crosses above the top band.
Detects a downtrend when the High crosses below the bottom band.
Bars change color to lime for uptrends and blue for downtrends.
Trend Initiation Level:
At the start of a new trend, the indicator locks in the extreme point (low for uptrend, high for downtrend) and plots a dashed horizontal level, serving as a potential retest zone.
Trend Retest Signal:
If price crosses back over the Trend Initiation level in the direction of the trend, a diamond label (⯁) is plotted at the retest point — confirming that price is revisiting a key shift level.
Visual Band Layout:
Midline: Dashed line shows the average of EMA and HMA.
Top/Bottom: Solid lines showing dynamic thresholds above/below the midline.
These help visualize compression, expansion, and possible breakout zones.
Color-Based Candle Plotting:
Candles are recolored in real time according to the current trend, allowing instant visual alignment with the market’s directional bias.
Noise-Filtered Retests:
To avoid repetitive signals, retests are only marked if they occur more than 5 bars after the previous one — filtering out minor fluctuations.
⯁ USAGE
Use colored candles to align trades with the dominant trend.
Treat dashed trendStart levels as important support/resistance zones.
Watch for ⯁ diamond labels as confirmation of retests for continuation or entry.
Use band boundaries to assess trend strength and volatility expansion.
Combine with your existing setups to validate momentum and zone shifts.
⯁ CONCLUSION
Zone Shift helps traders visually capture trend changes and key reaction points with precision. By combining band breakouts with real-time retest signals and trend-colored candles, this tool simplifies the process of reading market structure shifts and identifying high-confluence entry areas.

Momentum Candle V2 by Sekolah Trading📌 Momentum Candle V2 by Sekolah Trading – Pair-Based Volatility & Wick Ratio Filter
This script provides a structured and adaptive approach to detecting high-probability momentum candles in intraday markets. It dynamically adjusts pip thresholds and wick filtering conditions based on the selected symbol and timeframe, making it highly practical for real-time trading.
🔍 Concept and Originality
Momentum Candle V2 by Sekolah Trading implements a custom-built methodology combining:
Dynamic Pip Calibration
For each supported instrument (e.g., XAUUSD, USDJPY, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, EURUSD, BTCUSD), the user can define a pip threshold that determines the minimum valid body size for momentum candles. These thresholds are tailored for each pair and timeframe (M5, M15, H1), ensuring the logic adjusts to different volatility profiles.
Wick-to-Body Ratio Filtering
The script filters out candles with large wicks by requiring that total wick length (upper + lower) be no more than 30% of the full candle range. This helps identify decisive candles with minimal rejection.
Directional Validation
Bullish momentum is defined as: Close > Open with a shorter upper wick.
Bearish momentum is: Close < Open with a shorter lower wick.
Real-Time Timing Filter
Alerts are only triggered when the current candle is between 20 and 90 seconds from closing, which reduces noise and encourages confirmation-based entry.
Non-Repainting Logic
All calculations run in real-time with confirmed candles only — no lookahead or future leak.
📊 Visual Output – How to Read the Chart
When the conditions above are met, the script displays triangle markers on the chart:
🔺 Red downward triangle above the candle: valid bearish momentum signal
🔻 Blue upward triangle below the candle: valid bullish momentum signal
These shapes appear on live bars during the final moments of the candle to alert traders to potential confirmed momentum.
🔔 Alert Conditions
Two alert types are provided:
Momentum Bullish: Large bullish candle with small upper wick, during last 20–90s of bar
Momentum Bearish: Large bearish candle with small lower wick, same timing window
Alerts are designed for precision entries at candle close.
🧭 How to Use
Apply the script to a 5m, 15m, or 1h chart.
Configure pip thresholds for your preferred pairs from the input settings.
Watch for triangle markers near the close of each candle:
Blue = potential bullish momentum
Red = potential bearish momentum
Set alerts:
Go to Alerts → Select Momentum Bullish or Momentum Bearish
Frequency: Once Per Bar
Customize message: e.g. “Momentum Bullish on XAUUSD M15”
Combine signals with:
EMA, S/R, or trend filters
Volume/Order Flow
Liquidity zone or breakout context
🛡️ Why This Script Is Closed-Source
This script uses proprietary logic developed by Sekolah Trading, including:
Custom pip calibration engine
Adaptive wick filtering
Real-time entry validation with triangle plots

Gann Octave 8 - Professional V 1.0Gann Octave 8 Indicator:
Core Concept: This indicator divides the price range between highest high and lowest low into 8 equal parts (octaves), creating support/resistance levels based on W.D. Gann's trading principles.
Key Components:
1. Price Range Calculation:
o Finds highest high and lowest low over a lookback period (default 50 bars)
o Divides this range into 8 equal segments (12.5% each)
2. 8 Octave Levels:
o 0% (Low Support) - Strongest support
o 12.5%, 25%, 37.5% - Minor levels
o 50% (CRITICAL) - Most important level
o 62.5%, 75%, 87.5% - Minor levels
o 100% (High Resistance) - Strongest resistance
3. Gann Angles: Projects trend lines from high/low points at various angles (1x1, 2x1, 1x2, etc.)
4. Visual Features:
o Color-coded levels
o Information table showing current position
o Background highlighting when near critical levels
o Trend analysis (bullish/bearish zones)
Trading Strategy
Entry Signals:
BULLISH TRADES:
• Price crosses above 50% level → Strong buy signal
• Price bounces from 25% or 37.5% levels → Support bounce
• Price in upper zone (above 50%) → Bullish bias
BEARISH TRADES:
• Price crosses below 50% level → Strong sell signal
• Price rejects at 75% or 87.5% levels → Resistance rejection
• Price in lower zone (below 50%) → Bearish bias
Key Trading Rules:
1. 50% Level is Critical: Most important for trend direction
2. Zone Trading:
o Above 50% = Bullish zone (look for longs)
o Below 50% = Bearish zone (look for shorts)
3. Strength Levels:
o Above 75% or below 25% = Strong moves
o Near 100% (high) or 0% (low) = Extreme levels
Risk Management:
• Stop Loss: Place below previous octave level
• Take Profit: Target next octave level
• Position Size: Reduce size near extreme levels (0%, 100%)
Example Trade:
If price breaks above 50% level:
• Entry: Long position
• Stop: Below 37.5% level
• Target: 75% level
• Risk: Monitor for rejection at resistance levels
The indicator works best in trending markets and helps identify high-probability reversal zones.

Low Price RSI CrossoverThis Pine Script indicator is a Multi-Timeframe Low RSI Crossover system that combines three key filtering criteria to identify high-probability buy signals. Here's what it does:
Core Concept
The indicator only generates buy signals when all three conditions are met simultaneously:
Price at Multi-Period Low: Current price must be at or near the lowest point within your selected timeframe (1 week to 5 years, or custom)
RSI Momentum Shift: The smoothed RSI must cross above its signal line (EMA), indicating upward momentum
Below Threshold Entry: Both the RSI and its signal line must be below your threshold level (default 50) when the crossover occurs
Key Features
RSI Smoothing: Uses Hull Moving Average (HMA) to smooth the raw RSI, reducing noise and false signals while maintaining responsiveness.
Flexible Timeframes: Choose from predefined periods (1W, 2W, 3W, 1M, 2M, 3M, 6M, 9M, 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 5Y) or set a custom number of bars.
Visual Feedback:
Plots the smoothed RSI (blue line) and its signal line (red line)
Shows threshold and overbought levels
Highlights signal bars with green background
Displays tiny green triangles at signal points
Real-time status table showing all conditions
Trading Logic
This is essentially a mean-reversion strategy that waits for:
Price to reach significant lows (value zone)
Momentum to start shifting upward (RSI crossover)
Entry from oversold/neutral territory (below 50 RSI)
Why This Works
By requiring price to be at multi-period lows, you avoid buying during downtrends or sideways chop. The RSI crossover confirms that selling pressure is starting to ease, while the threshold filter ensures you're not buying into overbought conditions.
The combination of these filters should significantly reduce false signals compared to using any single indicator alone.
Universal Sentiment Oscillator with Trade RecommendationsUniversal Sentiment Oscillator & Strategy Guide
Summary
This all-in-one indicator is designed to be a comprehensive co-pilot for your trading journey. It moves beyond simple buy/sell signals by analyzing the underlying market sentiment and providing a dynamic, risk-assessed guide of potential trading strategies. Whether you're a novice learning the ropes or an expert seeking confirmation, this tool provides a structured framework for making smarter, more informed decisions in stocks, options, and futures.
How It Works
The core of the indicator is the Sentiment Oscillator, which calculates a score from -5 (Extremely Bearish) to +5 (Extremely Bullish) on every bar. This isn't just a single measurement; it's a weighted aggregate of several key technical conditions:
Trend Analysis: Price position relative to the 20, 50, and 200 EMAs.
Momentum Analysis: The current RSI value.
Hybrid Analysis: The state of the MACD and its signal line.
These factors are intelligently combined and normalized to produce a single, intuitive sentiment score, giving you an at-a-glance understanding of the market's pulse.
Core Features
Dynamic Trade Recommendation Table:
The informational heart of the indicator. This on-chart table provides a list of potential trades perfectly aligned with the current sentiment score.
Risk-Ranked Strategies:
All suggested trades are logically ordered by risk, helping you quickly identify strategies that match your comfort level.
Adjusted Trade Suggestions:
The indicator analyzes sentiment momentum (the score vs. its signal line) to provide proactive, forward-looking trade ideas based on where the market might be heading next.
Customizable Trading Styles:
Tell the indicator if you are a Conservative, Neutral, or Aggressive trader, and the "Adjusted Trade Suggestion" will automatically tailor its recommendations to your personal risk preference.
Context-Aware Futures Mode:
When viewing a futures contract, enable this mode to switch all recommendations from stock/options to futures-specific actions (e.g., "Cautious Long," "Monitor Range").
Predictive Sentiment Cone:
Visualize the potential short-term path of sentiment based on current momentum, helping you anticipate future conditions.
Fully Customizable:
Every parameter—from EMA lengths to trade filters—can be adjusted, allowing you to fine-tune the indicator to your exact specifications.
How to Use This Indicator
This tool is flexible and can be integrated into many trading systems. Here is a powerful, professional approach:
Top-Down Analysis (for Swing or Position Trading):
Establish the Trend: Start on the higher timeframes (Monthly, Weekly, Daily). Use the oscillator's color and score to define the dominant, long-term market sentiment. You only want to look for trades that align with this macro trend.
Refine the Entry: Drop down to the medium timeframes (4-Hour, 1-Hour). Wait for the sentiment on these charts to come into alignment with the higher-timeframe trend. This pullback or consolidation is your "zone of interest."
Pinpoint the Execution: Move to a lower timeframe (e.g., 15-Minute). Use the Adjusted Trade Suggestion and Sentiment Momentum to find a precise entry as momentum begins to shift back in the direction of the primary trend. You can set alerts on the oscillator's zero-line for early warnings of a sentiment shift.
As a Confirmation Tool: If you have an existing trade idea, use the indicator to validate it. Does the sentiment score align with your bullish or bearish thesis? Does the momentum confirm that now is a good time to enter?
As an Idea Generation Tool: Unsure what to trade? Browse different assets and let the indicator's "Primary Trades" and "Adjusted Trade Suggestion" present you with a list of risk-assessed ideas that you can then investigate further.
Disclaimer: This is an analysis tool and should not be considered financial advice. All forms of trading involve substantial risk. You should not trade with money you cannot afford to lose. Always perform your own due diligence and use this indicator as one component of a complete trading plan.
Breakout Confirmation🔍 Indicator Name: Breakout Confirmation (Body + Volume)
📌 Purpose:
This indicator is designed to detect high-probability breakout setups based on price structure and volume strength. It identifies moments when the market breaks through a key support or resistance level, confirmed by two consecutive strong candles with large real bodies and high volume.
⚙️ How It Works
1. Support and Resistance Detection
The indicator uses pivot points to identify potential horizontal support and resistance levels.
A pivot high or pivot low is considered valid if it stands out over a configurable number of candles (default: 50).
Only the most recent valid support and resistance levels are tracked and displayed as horizontal lines on the chart.
2. Breakout Setup
The breakout condition is defined as:
First Candle (Breakout Candle):
Large body (compared to the recent body average)
High volume (compared to the recent volume average)
Must close beyond a resistance or support level:
Close above resistance (bullish breakout)
Close below support (bearish breakout)
Second Candle (Confirmation Candle):
Also must have a large body and high volume
Must continue in the direction of the breakout (i.e., higher close in bullish breakouts, lower close in bearish ones)
3. Signal Plotting
If both candles meet the criteria, the indicator plots:
A green triangle below the candle for bullish breakouts
A red triangle above the candle for bearish breakouts
📈 How to Interpret the Signals
✅ Green triangle below a candle:
Indicates a confirmed bullish breakout.
The price has closed above a recent resistance level with strength.
The trend may continue higher — possible entry for long positions.
🔻 Red triangle above a candle:
Indicates a confirmed bearish breakout.
The price has closed below a recent support level with strength.
Potential signal to enter short or exit long positions.
⚠️ The plotted horizontal lines show the last key support and resistance levels. These are the zones being monitored for breakouts.
📊 How to Use It
Timeframe: Works best on higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily), but can be tested on any chart.
Entry: Consider entries after the second candle confirms the breakout.
Stop Loss:
For longs: Below the breakout candle or the broken resistance
For shorts: Above the breakout candle or broken support
Take Profit:
Based on previous structure, risk:reward ratios, or using trailing stops.
Filter with Trend or Other Indicators (optional):
You can combine this with moving averages, RSI, or market structure for confluence.
🛠️ Customization Parameters
lengthSR: How many candles to look back for identifying support/resistance pivots.

Momentum Trend Bands (MTB)📌 What Is the Momentum Trend Bands (MTB) Indicator?
The Momentum Trend Bands (MTB) is a custom-built trend detection indicator that blends momentum and volatility into a dynamic, visual system. Its core goal is to help traders identify the beginning and strength of a trend earlier than traditional tools like moving averages, while filtering out market noise.
🧠 What Is It Built On?
The indicator is built on two foundational concepts:
1. Rate of Change (ROC): This measures the speed at which the price is moving. We use a fast and a slow version of ROC and then calculate their difference. This difference gives us a momentum signal — it shows whether the price is gaining upward or downward strength.
2. Standard Deviation (Volatility): This shows how much the price fluctuates. By calculating it over a certain period, we can measure market noise and filter out weak, insignificant moves that might otherwise cause false signals.
Together, momentum shows direction, and volatility shows confidence.
🛠️ How Does It Work?
• The core of the indicator is a smoothed momentum signal, representing the net difference between fast and slow momentum.
• Around this signal, we build upper and lower bands — these are dynamic boundaries that expand or contract based on volatility.
• When the momentum breaks above or below these bands, it signals a strong directional move — suggesting the start or continuation of a trend.
The bands also serve a visual filter:
• If momentum stays within the bands, it implies the market is consolidating or ranging.
• When it exits the bands decisively, it implies strength in that direction.
📈 How to Use It?
1. Trend Entry:
o When the momentum signal rises above the upper band, it suggests a strong bullish trend may be starting.
o When the signal drops below the lower band, it indicates a bearish trend.
2. Stay Out of Chop:
o If the signal moves sideways within the bands, it’s best to avoid trading — the market is likely consolidating or ranging.
3. Visual Confirmation:
o The background color changes with the trend: green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral. This makes it quick to read visually.
4. Signal Arrows:
o Small up or down arrows appear when trends begin, serving as early entry points.
⚙️ What Kind of Market Does It Work Best In?
• Trending Markets: MTB shines in markets with strong directional movement — whether up or down. It's designed to pick up momentum early and hold through trend continuation.
• Volatile Instruments: The built-in volatility filter helps in markets like crypto or commodities where price action is fast and erratic.
• Avoid Flat or Low-Volume Conditions: In sideways markets, MTB may stay gray or flip often — these are not ideal times to trade using this indicator alone.
💎 Why Is It Unique?
Unlike many indicators that react slowly (like moving averages) or trigger too often (like raw momentum), MTB balances early detection with reliability. Its unique combination of:
• ROC difference for directional intent,
• Smoothing for signal clarity,
• Bands scaled by volatility for robustness,
…makes it stand apart from commonly available indicators on platforms like TradingView.
PCA Regime-Adjusted MomentumSummary
The PCA Regime-Adjusted Momentum (PCA-RAM) is an advanced market analysis tool designed to provide nuanced insights into market momentum and structural stability. It moves beyond traditional indicators by using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to deconstruct market data into its most essential patterns.
The indicator provides two key pieces of information:
A smoothed momentum signal based on the market's dominant underlying trend.
A dynamic regime filter that gauges the stability and clarity of the market's structure, advising you when to trust or fade the momentum signals.
This allows traders to not only identify potential shifts in momentum but also to understand the context and confidence behind those signals.
Core Concepts & Methodology
The strength of this indicator lies in its sound, data-driven methodology.
1. Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
At its core, the indicator analyzes a rolling window (default 50 periods) of standardized market data (Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume). PCA is a powerful statistical technique that distills this complex, 5-dimensional data into its fundamental, uncorrelated components of variance. We focus on the First Principal Component (PC1), which represents the single most dominant pattern or "theme" driving the market's behavior in the lookback window.
2. The Momentum Signal
Instead of just looking at price, we project the current market data onto this dominant underlying pattern (PC1). This gives us a raw "projection score" that measures how strongly the current bar aligns with the historically dominant market structure. This raw score is then smoothed using two an exponential moving averages (a fast and a slow line) to create a clear, actionable momentum signal, similar in concept to a MACD.
3. The Dynamic Regime Filter
This is arguably the indicator's most powerful feature. It answers the question: "How clear is the current market picture?"
It calculates the Market Concentration Ratio, which is the percentage of total market variance explained by PC1 alone.
A high ratio indicates that the market is moving in a simple, one-dimensional way (e.g., a clear, strong trend).
A low ratio indicates the market is complex, multi-dimensional, and choppy, with no single dominant theme.
Crucially, this filter is dynamic. It compares the current concentration ratio to its own recent average, allowing it to adapt to any asset or timeframe. It automatically learns what "normal" and "choppy" look like for the specific chart you are viewing.
How to Interpret the Indicator
The indicator is displayed in a separate pane with two key visual elements:
The Momentum Lines (White & Gold)
White Line: The "Fast Line," representing the current momentum.
Gold Line: The "Slow Line," acting as the trend confirmation.
Bullish Signal: A crossover of the White Line above the Gold Line suggests a shift to positive momentum.
Bearish Signal: A crossover of the White Line below the Gold Line suggests a shift to negative momentum.
The Regime Filter (Purple & Dark Red Background)
This is your confidence gauge.
Navy Blue Background (High Concentration): The market structure is stable, simple, and trending. Momentum signals are more reliable and should be given higher priority.
Dark Red Background (Low Concentration): The market structure is complex, choppy, or directionless. Momentum signals are unreliable and prone to failure or "whipsaws." This is a signal to be cautious, tighten stops, or potentially stay out of the market.
Potential Trading Strategies
This tool is versatile and can be used in several ways:
1. Primary Signal Strategy
Condition: Wait for the background to turn Purple, confirming a stable, high-confidence regime.
Entry: Take the next crossover signal from the momentum lines (White over Gold for long, White under Gold for short).
Exit/Filter: Consider exiting positions or ignoring new signals when the background turns Navy.
2. As a Confirmation or Filter for Your Existing Strategy
Do you have a trend-following system? Only enable its long and short signals when the PCA-RAM background is Purple.
Do you have a range-trading or mean-reversion system? It might be most effective when the PCA-RAM background is Navy, indicating a lack of a clear trend.
3. Advanced Divergence Analysis
Look for classic divergences between price and the momentum lines. For example, if the price is making a new high, but the Gold Line is making a lower high, it may indicate underlying weakness in the trend, even on a Purple background. This divergence signal is more powerful because it shows that the new price high is not being confirmed by the market's dominant underlying pattern.
Three Candle Bullish Engulfing StrategyThe Three Candle Bullish Engulfing Strategy is a versatile, multi-mode trading system designed for TradingView, combining classic candlestick patterns with momentum confirmation and dynamic risk management. This script supports both swing trading and intraday approaches, as well as an optional RSI-based breakout mode for additional signal filtering.
Key Features:
Three Candle Pattern Detection:
The strategy identifies potential trend reversal points using a three-candle pattern:
The first candle is a strong bullish (or bearish) move.
The second candle is a doji or small-bodied candle, indicating indecision.
The third candle is a bullish (or bearish) engulfing candle that closes above (or below) the previous high (or low), confirming the reversal.
Flexible Trading Modes:
Swing Long Only: Enter long trades on bullish three-candle setups.
Intraday Long & Short: Trade both long and short based on bullish and bearish three-candle patterns, with automatic session-end exits.
RSI Breakout Mode: Enter long trades when the 1-hour RSI exceeds a user-defined threshold (default 80) and a bullish candle forms, with breakout confirmation and a fixed-percentage stop loss.
Visual Aids:
Plots the RSI breakout trigger price and stop loss on the chart for easy monitoring.
How It Works:
Three Candle Pattern Entries:
Long Entry: Triggered when a bullish candle is followed by a doji, then a bullish engulfing candle closes above the previous high.
Short Entry (Intraday only): Triggered by the inverse pattern—bearish candle, doji, then bearish engulfing candle closing below the previous low.
RSI Breakout Entries:
When the RSI on a higher timeframe (default 1 hour) exceeds the set threshold and a bullish candle forms, the script records a trigger price.
A long trade is entered if the price breaks above this trigger, with a stop loss set a fixed percentage below.
Exits:
Positions are closed if the trailing stop is hit, the session ends (for intraday mode), or the stop loss is triggered in RSI breakout mode.
In RSI breakout mode, positions are also closed if a new breakout trigger forms while in position.

IPDA with Order Blocks [Enhanced]Summary of the Code
This script plots IPDA Standard Deviations on a price chart, helping traders visualize potential support and resistance levels based on a series of user-defined deviations. It uses swing high/low points and time-based fractal lookbacks (monthly, weekly, daily, or intraday) to define price anchors and compute deviation lines.
Key features include:
Deviations: It calculates and plots deviation levels based on the distance between swing highs and lows, which traders can use as price targets or zones of interest.
Timeframes:
Monthly (higher timeframe analysis)
Weekly (medium-term analysis)
Daily and Intraday (shorter-term precision)
Customization:
Choose which deviation levels (e.g., 0, 1, -1, -2) to display.
Hide labels or adjust their sizes for cleaner charts.
Option to remove invalidated deviation levels dynamically.
Visual Cleanliness: Automatically removes clutter by hiding or deleting invalid deviation levels and focusing on active price zones.
How to Utilize It for Intraday Trading to Make $1,000
Here’s how to effectively use the indicator to optimize intraday trading:
1. Set the Right Timeframe:
Use the 15-minute or 1-hour chart for intraday setups.
Ensure the "Intraday" lookback option is enabled to focus on shorter-term swings.
2. Interpret the Levels:
Bearish Order Blocks: Look for red lines (bearish deviation) as potential resistance zones where the price may reverse downward.
Bullish Order Blocks: Look for green lines (bullish deviation) as potential support zones where the price may bounce upward.
3. Plan Entries and Exits:
Entry: Buy near a green order block or short near a red order block, confirming the trade with additional signals (e.g., candlestick patterns, momentum indicators).
Stop Loss: Place your stop below the green line (for buys) or above the red line (for shorts).
Profit Targets: Use deviation levels as targets (e.g., from the 0 level to +1 or -1).
4. Combine with Market Context:
Use the script alongside volume profile, trend indicators, or news events for confirmation.
Avoid trading during major news events unless aligned with deviations.
5. Position Sizing for $1,000 Goal:
Trade liquid instruments like Nasdaq futures (NQ) or major forex pairs.
Risk 1-2% of your capital on each trade and scale into positions if confirmed.
Target a profit of 10-20 points per trade on Nasdaq futures, with 1-2 trades daily.
6. Monitor Key Timeframes:
Pre-market (before 9:30 AM EST): Mark deviation levels to predict market open behavior.
Midday & Power Hour (3-4 PM EST): Watch for breakouts or retests around key deviation levels.
By combining this tool with disciplined risk management and a clear trading plan, you can systematically work toward your profit target while minimizing unnecessary risks

WaveTrend Matrix (1m-1w) – Custom ThresholdsA visual control panel for momentum exhaustion across ten key time-frames.
—
🧬 DNA
This is a fork of LazyBear’s original WaveTrend Oscillator .
The oscillator logic is 100 % intact; I simply stream the values into a compact table so that day- and swing-traders can see the “bigger picture” at a glance.
📈 What does it do?
Calculates WaveTrend on ten granularities: 1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 1d, 1w.
Displays the current oscillator print in a color-coded matrix.
• Red = overbought (≥ high threshold)
• Green = oversold (≤ low threshold)
• Gray = neutral / in-range
All thresholds are user-adjustable.
Built on Pine v5, zero repainting, works on any symbol.
🛠 Parameters
Channel Length – WT “n1” (default 10)
Average Length – WT “n2” (default 21)
Red from – overbought cut-off (default +60)
Green under – oversold cut-off (default –60)
🚀 How to use it
1. Apply the indicator to your chart – no extra setup required.
2. Read the matrix top-down before every entry:
• Multiple deep-green rows → market broadly oversold → watch for longs.
• Multiple deep-red rows → market broadly overbought → watch for shorts or stay flat.
3. Combine with your trend filter (EMA-stack, VWAP, structure) to avoid counter-trend trades.
CYCLE BY RiotWolftradingDescription of the "CYCLE" Indicator
The "CYCLE" indicator is a custom Pine Script v5 script for TradingView that visualizes cyclic patterns in price action, dividing the trading day into specific sessions and 90-minute quarters (Q1-Q4). It is designed to identify and display market phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal) along with key support and resistance levels within those sessions. Additionally, it allows customization of boxes, lines, labels, and colors to suit user preferences.
Main Features
Cycle Phases:
Accumulation (1900-0100): Represents the phase where large operators accumulate positions.
Manipulation (0100-0700): Identifies potential manipulative moves to mislead retail traders.
Distribution (0700-1300): The phase where large operators distribute their positions.
Continuation/Reversal (1300-1900): Indicates whether the price continues the trend or reverses.
90-Minute Quarters (Q1-Q4):
Divides each 6-hour cycle (360 minutes) into four 90-minute quarters (Q1: 00:00-01:30, Q2: 01:30-03:00, Q3: 03:00-04:30, Q4: 04:30-06:00 UTC).
Each quarter is displayed with a colored box (Q1: light purple, Q2: light blue, Q3: light gray, Q4: light pink) and labels (defaulted to black).
Support and Resistance Visualization:
Draws boxes or lines (based on settings) showing the high and low levels of each session.
Optionally displays accumulated volume at the highs and lows within the boxes.
Daily Lines and Last 3 Boxes:
How to Use the Indicator
Step 1: Add the Indicator to TradingView
Open TradingView and select the chart where you want to apply the indicator (e.g., UMG9OOR on a 5-minute timeframe, as shown in the screenshot).
Go to the Pine Editor (at the bottom of the TradingView interface).
Copy and paste the provided code.
Click Compile and then Add to Chart.
Step 2: Configure the Indicator
Click on the indicator name on the chart ("CYCLE") and select Settings (or double-click the name).
Adjust the options based on your needs:
Cycle Phases: Enable/disable phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, Continuation/Reversal) and adjust their time slots if needed.
90-Minute Quarters: Enable/disable quarters (Q1-Q4).
Step 3: Interpret the Indicator
Identify Cycle Phases:
Observe the red boxes indicating the phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, etc.).
The high and low levels within each phase are potential support/resistance zones.
If volume is enabled, pay attention to the accumulated volume at highs and lows, as it may indicate the strength of those levels.
Use the 90-Minute Quarters (Q1-Q4):
The colored boxes (Q1-Q4) divide the day into 90-minute segments.
Each quarter shows the price range (high and low) during that period.
Use these boxes to identify price patterns within each quarter, such as breakouts or consolidations.
The labels (Q1, Q2, etc.) help you track time and anticipate potential moves in the next quarter.
Analyze Support and Resistance:
The high and low levels of each phase/quarter act as support and resistance.
Daily lines (if enabled) show key levels from the previous day, useful for planning entries/exits.
The "last 3 boxes below price" (if enabled) highlight potential support levels the price might target.
Avoid Manipulation:
During the Manipulation phase (0100-0700), be cautious of sharp moves or false breakouts.
Use the high/low levels of this phase to identify potential traps (as explained in your first question about manipulation candles).
Step 4: Trading Strategy
Entries and Exits:
Support/Resistance: Use the high/low levels of phases and quarters to set entry or exit points.
For example, if the price bounces off a Q1 support level, consider a buy.
Breakouts: If the price breaks a high/low of a quarter (e.g., Q2), wait for confirmation to enter in the direction of the breakout.
Volume: If accumulated volume is high near a key level, that level may be more significant.
Risk Management:
Place stop-loss orders below lows (for buys) or above highs (for sells) identified by the indicator.
Avoid trading during the Manipulation phase unless you have a specific strategy to handle false breakouts.
Time Context:
Use the quarters (Q1-Q4) to plan your trades based on time. For example, if Q3 is typically volatile in your market, prepare for larger moves between 03:00-04:30 UTC.
Step 5: Adjustments and Testing
Test on Different Timeframes: The indicator is set for a 5-minute timeframe (as in the screenshot), but you can test it on other timeframes (e.g., 1-minute, 15-minute) by adjusting the time slots if needed.
Adjust Colors and Styles: If the default colors are not visible on your chart, change them for better clarity.
---
📌 1. **Accumulation: Strong Institutional Activity**
- During the **accumulation phase, we see **high volume: 82.773K, which suggests strong buying interest**, likely from institutional players.
- This sets the base for the following upward move in price.
---
📌 2. **Manipulation: False Breakout with Lower Volume**
- Later, there's a manipulation phase where price breaks above previous highs, but the volume (71.814K) is **lower than during accumulation**.
- This implies that buyers are not as aggressive as before—no real demandbehind the breakout.
- It’s likely a bull trap, where smart money is selling into the breakout to exit their positions.
---
### 📌 3. Distribution: Weakness and Lack of Demand
- The market enters a distribution phase, and volume drops even further (only 7.914K).
- Price struggles to go higher, and you start seeing rejections at the top.
- This shows that demand is drying up, and smart money is offloading positions**—not accumulating anymore.
---
### 💡 Why Take the Short Here?
- Volume is not increasing with new highs—showing weak demand**.
- The manipulation volume is weaker than the accumulation volume, confirming the breakout was likely false.
- Structure starts to break down (Q levels falling), which confirms weakness.
- This creates a high-probability short setup:
- **Entry:** after confirmation of distribution and structural breakdown.
- **Stop loss:** above the manipulation high.
- **Target:** down toward previous lows or value zones.
---
### ✅ Conclusion
Since the manipulation volume failed to exceed the accumulation volume, the breakout lacked real strength. Combined with decreasing volume in the distribution phase, this indicates fading demand and supply taking control—which justifies entering a short position.

No Wick Candle Finder"No Wick Candle Finder", is a visual that identifies and confirms candlestick patterns with no wicks—a rare but significant type of price action. Here's a breakdown of what it does, how it works, and why traders might find it useful:
This script highlights candles with no wicks and adds an extra layer of confirmation before plotting a signal.
📌 What is a No-Wick Candle?
A "no-wick" candle means:
Bullish (green) no-wick candle:
Open = Low
Close = High
Strong buying pressure from start to end of the candle.
Bearish (red) no-wick candle:
Open = High
Close = Low
Strong selling pressure throughout the candle.
These candles indicate a clear directional move with no retracement during the timeframe.
🧠 Trading Use Cases
Trend Continuation Entry: These candles can signal strong momentum continuation.
Breakout Confirmation: Often appear on breakouts—confirming strength.
Scalping or Intraday: Great for short timeframes where clean moves matter most.
Trend Indicator with ArrowsTrend Indicator with arrows is a NoBrainer indicator to see the trend clearly.
UpTrend is defined as a candle closing above previous high. I
DownTrend is defined as a candle closing below previous low
A consolidation is defined as a candle closing inside previous candle high low.
UpTrend - Indicated with a green arrow below the candle with the current indicator.
DownTrend - ndicated with a red arrow above the candle with the current indicator.
So How to use this Indicator?
Identify zones of consolidation where the indicator doesn't show any arrows. Upon shift from consolidation to UpTrend or DownTrend take a entry. This is one way.
Second and most useful way is wait for Support or resistant hit.
If it's a support. Upon support hit wait for Consolidation, DownTrend and then UpTrend/(Consolidation again with uptrend) for long entry.
If its a resistance. Upon resistance hit wait for Consolidation, Uptrend and then DownTrend/(Consolidation again with DownTrend) for short Entry.
LUX CLARA - EMA + VWAP (No ATR Filter) - v6EMA STRAT SHOUT OUTOUTLIERSSSSS
Overview:
an intraday strategy built around two core principles:
Trend Confirmation using the 50 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) in relation to the VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price).
Entry Signals triggered by the 8 EMA crossing the 50 EMA in the direction of that confirmed trend.
Key Logic:
Bullish Trend if the 50 EMA is above VWAP. Only long entries are allowed when the 8 EMA crosses above the 50 EMA during that bullish phase.
Bearish Trend if the 50 EMA is below VWAP. Only short entries are allowed when the 8 EMA crosses below the 50 EMA during that bearish phase.
Intraday Focus: Trades are restricted to a user-defined session window (default 7:30 AM–11:30 AM), aligning entries/exits with peak intraday liquidity.
Exit Rule: Positions close automatically when the 8 EMA crosses back in the opposite direction of the entry.
Why It Works:
EMA + VWAP helps detect both immediate momentum (EMAs) and overall institutional bias (VWAP).
By confining trades to a set intraday window, the strategy aims to capture morning volatility while avoiding choppy afternoon or overnight sessions.
Customization:
Users can adjust EMA lengths, session times, or incorporate stops/targets for additional risk management.
It can be tested on various symbols and intraday timeframes to gauge performance and robustness.
GQT GPT - Volume-based Support & Resistance Zones V2搞钱兔，搞钱是为了更好的生活。
Title: GQT GPT - Volume-based Support & Resistance Zones V2
Overview:
This strategy is implemented in PineScript v5 and is designed to identify key support and resistance zones based on volume-driven fractal analysis on a 1-hour timeframe. It computes fractal high points (for resistance) and fractal low points (for support) using volume moving averages and specific price action criteria. These zones are visually represented on the chart with customizable lines and zone fills.
Trading Logic:
• Entry: The strategy initiates a long position when the price crosses into the support zone (i.e., when the price drops into a predetermined support area).
• Exit: The long position is closed when the price enters the resistance zone (i.e., when the price rises into a predetermined resistance area).
• Time Frame: Trading signals are generated solely from the 1-hour chart. The strategy is only active within a specified start and end date.
• Note: Only long trades are executed; short selling is not part of the strategy.
Visualization and Parameters:
• Support/Resistance Zones: The zones are drawn based on calculated fractal values, with options to extend the lines to the right for easier tracking.
• Customization: Users can configure the appearance, such as line style (solid, dotted, dashed), line width, colors, and label positions.
• Volume Filtering: A volume moving average threshold is used to confirm the fractal signals, enhancing the reliability of the support and resistance levels.
• Alerts: The strategy includes alert conditions for when the price enters the support or resistance zones, allowing for timely notifications.

FVG Visual Trading ToolHow to Use the FVG Tool
1. Identify the FVG Zone
Bullish FVG: Look for green boxes that represent potential support zones. These are areas where price is likely to retrace before continuing upward.
Bearish FVG: Look for red boxes that represent potential resistance zones. These are areas where price is likely to retrace before continuing downward.
2. Set Up Your Trade
Entry: Place a limit order at the retracement zone (inside the FVG box). This ensures you enter the trade when the price retraces into the imbalance.
Stop-Loss (SL): Place your stop-loss just below the FVG box for bullish trades or just above the FVG box for bearish trades. The tool provides a suggested SL level.
Take-Profit (TP): Set your take-profit level at a 2:1 risk-reward ratio (or higher). The tool provides a suggested target level.
3. Let the Trade Run
Once your trade is set up, let it play out. Avoid micromanaging the trade unless market conditions change drastically.
Step-by-Step Example
Bullish FVG Trade
Identify the FVG:
A green box appears, indicating a bullish FVG.
The tool provides the target price (e.g., 0.6371) and the stop-loss level (e.g., 0.6339).
Set Up the Trade:
Place a limit buy order at the retracement zone (inside the green box).
Set your stop-loss just below the FVG box (e.g., 0.6339).
Set your take-profit at a 2:1 risk-reward ratio or the suggested target (e.g., 0.6371).
Monitor the Trade:
Wait for the price to retrace into the FVG zone and trigger your limit order.
Let the trade run until it hits the take-profit or stop-loss.
Bearish FVG Trade
Identify the FVG:
A red box appears, indicating a bearish FVG.
The tool provides the target price and the stop-loss level.
Set Up the Trade:
Place a limit sell order at the retracement zone (inside the red box).
Set your stop-loss just above the FVG box.
Set your take-profit at a 2:1 risk-reward ratio or the suggested target.
Monitor the Trade:
Wait for the price to retrace into the FVG zone and trigger your limit order.
Let the trade run until it hits the take-profit or stop-loss.
Key Features of the Tool in Action
Visual Clarity:
The green and red boxes clearly show the FVG zones, making it easy to identify potential trade setups.
Labels provide the target price and stop-loss level for quick decision-making.
Risk-Reward Management:
The tool encourages disciplined trading by providing predefined SL and TP levels.
A 2:1 risk-reward ratio ensures that profitable trades outweigh losses.
Hands-Off Execution:
By placing limit orders, you can let the trade execute automatically without needing to monitor the market constantly.
Best Practices
Trade in the Direction of the Trend:
Use higher timeframes (e.g., 4-hour or daily) to identify the overall trend.
Focus on bullish FVGs in an uptrend and bearish FVGs in a downtrend.
Combine with Confirmation Signals:
Look for additional confirmation, such as candlestick patterns (e.g., engulfing candles) or indicator signals (e.g., RSI, MACD).
Adjust Parameters for Volatility:
For highly volatile markets, consider increasing the stop-loss percentage to avoid being stopped out prematurely.
Avoid Overtrading:
Not every FVG is a good trading opportunity. Be selective and only trade setups that align with your strategy.
Backtest and Optimize:
Use historical data to test the tool and refine your approach before trading live.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Entering Without Confirmation:
Wait for price to retrace into the FVG zone before entering a trade.
Avoid chasing trades that have already moved away from the zone.
Ignoring Risk Management:
Always use a stop-loss to protect your account.
Stick to a consistent risk-reward ratio.
Trading Against the Trend:
Avoid taking trades that go against the prevailing market trend unless there is strong evidence of a reversal.
Final Thoughts
The FVG Visual Trading Tool is a powerful aid for identifying high-probability trade setups. By following the steps outlined above, you can use the tool to trade with confidence and discipline. Remember, no tool guarantees success, so always combine it with sound trading principles and proper risk management
Fibonacci & Bollinger Bands StrategyTrading System: Fibonacci & Bollinger Bands Strategy
1. Session Timing
Trade only from 1 PM onwards.
Identify the first candle on the 1 PM vertical line to set the market direction.
If it's a bullish candle, look for buy opportunities.
If it's a bearish candle, look for sell opportunities.
2. Fibonacci Retracement as a Measuring Tool
Identify the recent swing high and swing low before the 1 PM session.
Draw Fibonacci retracement levels from low to high (for buys) or high to low (for sells).
Key retracement levels to watch: 0.0%, 50.0%, and 100.0%.
Entries can be placed at 0.0% or 50.0%, aiming for a move toward 100.0% retracement.
3. Bollinger Bands Confirmation
If the Bollinger Bands are above price, expect a downward move (sell).
If the Bollinger Bands are below price, expect an upward move (buy).
Use this as additional confirmation for your Fibonacci-based trade.
4. Entry & Exit Rules
Entry:
If the 1 PM candle confirms a bullish bias, enter long near Fibonacci 0.0% or 50.0%.
If the 1 PM candle confirms a bearish bias, enter short near Fibonacci 0.0% or 50.0%.
Stop Loss: Below (for buys) or above (for sells) the swing low/high used for Fibonacci.
Take Profit: Target 100.0% retracement level or next key resistance/support.
5. Risk Management
Risk 1-2% per trade.
Avoid trading if price is too far from Fibonacci levels.
Confirm setup with Bollinger Bands alignment.
