Basic Logic:
The Normalised Gaussian MACD Heikin Ashi by AlgoAlpha integrates Gaussian filters to elevate the traditional MACD indicator's efficiency, providing a more detailed analysis of market trends and momentum. This sophisticated approach reduces noise and enhances signal speed, which is crucial for identifying momentum trading opportunities.
Gaussian Filter Implementation : The core innovation lies in applying a Gaussian filter to the input price series. This mathematical technique smooths the price data, significantly reducing market noise and making trend signals clearer and more reliable. The Gaussian filter calculates a smoothed value for each data point by weighting nearby data points, with the weights decreasing as the distance from the current data point increases.
Refined MACD Calculation : The Gaussian MACD is derived from the difference between two Gaussian smoothed moving averages (fast and slow), which are then normalized to account for market volatility. This normalization process involves dividing the difference by a measure of market range (such as the high minus the low), and multiplying by a factor (usually 100) to scale the indicator appropriately.
🔑 This script is a versatile tool designed to aid in the identification of momentum and reversals, helping traders to make informed decisions based on technical analysis. Its customization options allow for a tailored analysis experience, fitting the unique needs and strategies of each trader.

Japanese Candlestick Patterns💡 Japanese Candlesticks are a visual representation of price movements in financial markets. They were first developed by Japanese rice traders in the 18th century to analyze the price of rice contracts, and have since been adopted by traders across the world for a wide range of assets.
📌 A candlestick is composed of a rectangular body and two thin lines, known as wicks, that extend from the top and bottom of the body. The body represents the difference between the opening and closing prices of the asset during a specific time period, while the wicks indicate the high and low prices reached during that period.
📌 By using these and other candlestick patterns, traders can identify potential buying and selling opportunities and manage their risk accordingly. However, it's important to note that candlestick patterns should be used in conjunction with other technical and fundamental analysis tools to make well-informed trading decisions.
📌 Candlestick patterns are particularly useful because they are based on price action rather than external factors such as news or economic data. This makes them useful for traders who employ technical analysis, as they can use candlestick patterns to identify potential trading opportunities and manage their risk accordingly.
🚀 Candlesticks can be used to identify market trends, as well as potential buying and selling opportunities. By analyzing the patterns formed by multiple candlesticks, traders can gain insights into the behavior of the market and make informed trading decisions. Overall, Japanese Candlesticks are a powerful tool for technical analysis that can provide valuable insights into financial markets.

Momentum Reversal [AngelAlgo]The Momentum Reversal Indicator is a technical analysis tool used to identify potential reversals and trends in financial markets. It does this by comparing the momentum of a market to its trend. The momentum is calculated by measuring the change in price over a specified time interval set by the "Period" input. The trend is then determined as the simple moving average of the momentum, with the length of the moving average determined by the "Trend length" input. When the momentum deviates significantly from the trend, it is considered a potential reversal signal. The user can choose to receive signals based on either "Contrarian" or "Trend" signals type, and also has the option to smooth the signals using the Hull Moving Average. The indicator is plotted as a histogram with trading signals indicated by triangle shapes (up for buys, down for sells). The histogram is also accompanied by a smoothed line representation of the indicator and dynamic threshold levels.
The color of the histogram bars is green if the momentum is positive, red if it's negative. The histogram can be smoothed using the Hull Moving Average (HMA) if the "Smoothed signals" input is set to true.
The indicator also plots the threshold levels, which are dynamically calculated as the simple moving average (SMA) of the absolute value of the histogram. The threshold levels are plotted as circles on the chart.
The signals are plotted as arrows on the chart, either triangle-up for buy signals, or triangle-down for sell signals. If "Contrarian" signals are selected, a triangle-up will appear when the histogram crosses below the lower threshold, and a triangle-down will appear when it crosses above the upper threshold. If "Trend" signals are selected, a triangle-up will appear when the histogram crosses above the upper threshold, and a triangle-down will appear when it crosses below the lower threshold. Trend signals work for trending markets, Contrarian signals are good for ranging markets.
SETTINGS
Period: This input allows you to set the period for the momentum calculation. The default value is 14.
Trend length: This input allows you to set the length of the trend-following moving average. The default value is 50.
Signals type : This input allows you to choose the type of signals you want to receive. You can choose between "Contrarian" and "Trend" signals. The default value is "Contrarian".
Smoothed signals: This input allows you to choose between the raw or smoothed signals. If set to true, the signals will be based on the smoothed histogram line, otherwise, they will be based on the raw histogram. The default value is true.

About the script:
This script is an easy-to-use trend indicator, which is based on another popular indicator called "Supertrend" . The basic idea is very simple, i.e. to compute Average True Range(ATR) and use that as the basis for trend detection. The key difference lies in a custom trend detection method, that computes trends across different timeframes and projects them in a table view. The script also tries to improve the behaviour of the existing indicator by highlighting flat regions on the chart, indicating sideways market or potential trend reversals.
How to use it:
You can use it just like any other indicator, add it to your chart and start analysing market trends. Results can be interpreted as follows.
Indicator output is currently made up of two main components:
>> Trend Table:
Appears at the bottom right of your screen
Contains trend indicator for 9 different timeframes
Timeframes can be adjusted using indicator settings panel
Green Up Arrow --> Up Trend
Red Down Arrow --> Down Trend
>> Enhanced Supertrend:
Shows up as a line plot on the chart
Green line indicates up trend
Red line indicates down trend
White regions indicates slow moving markets or a potential trend reversal
Indicator can be used on any timeframe, it provides a view of current and historical market trend
Can be used as an indicator for entering/exiting trades
Can be used to build custom trading strategies
Musashi_Fractal_Dimension === Musashi-Fractal-Dimension ===
This tool is part of my research on the fractal nature of the markets and understanding the relation between fractal dimension and chaos theory.
To take full advantage of this indicator, you need to incorporate some principles and concepts:
- Traditional Technical Analysis is linear and Euclidean, which makes very difficult its modeling.
- Linear techniques cannot quantify non-linear behavior
- Is it possible to measure accurately a wave or the surface of a mountain with a simple ruler?
- Fractals quantify what Euclidean Geometry can’t, they measure chaos, as they identify order in apparent randomness.
- Remember: Chaos is order disguised as randomness.
- Chaos is the study of unstable aperiodic behavior in deterministic non-linear dynamic systems
- Order and randomness can coexist, allowing predictability.
- There is a reason why Fractal Dimension was invented, we had no way of measuring fractal-based structures.
- Benoit Mandelbrot used to explain it by asking: How do we measure the coast of Great Britain?
- An easy way of getting the need of a dimension in between is looking at the Koch snowflake.
- Market prices tend to seek natural levels of ranges of balance. These levels can be described as attractors and are determinant.
Fractal Dimension Index ('FDI')
Determines the persistence or anti-persistence of a market.
- A persistent market follows a market trend. An anti-persistent market results in substantial volatility around the trend (with a low r2), and is more vulnerable to price reversals
- An easy way to see this is to think that fractal dimension measures what is in between mainstream dimensions. These are:
- One dimension: a line
- Two dimensions: a square
- Three dimensions: a cube.
--> This will hint you that at certain moment, if the market has a Fractal Dimension of 1.25 (which is low), the market is behaving more “line-like”, while if the market has a high Fractal Dimension, it could be interpreted as “square-like”.
- 'FDI' is trend agnostic, which means that doesn't consider trend. This makes it super useful as gives you clean information about the market without trying to include trend stuff.
Question: If we have a game where you must choose between two options.
1. a horizontal line
2. a vertical line.
Each iteration a Horizontal Line or a Square will appear as continuation of a figure. If it that iteration shows a square and you bet vertical you win, same as if it is horizontal and it is a line.
- Wouldn’t be useful to know that Fractal dimension is 1.8? This will hint square. In the markets you can use 'FD' to filter mean-reversal signals like Bollinger bands, stochastics, Regular RSI divergences, etc.
- Wouldn’t be useful to know that Fractal dimension is 1.2? This will hint Line. In the markets you can use 'FD' to confirm trend following strategies like Moving averages, MACD, Hidden RSI divergences.
Calculation method:
Fractal dimension is obtained from the ‘hurst exponent’.
'FDI' = 2 - 'Hurst Exponent'
Musashi version of the Classic 'OG' Fractal Dimension Index ('FDI')
- By default, you get 3 fast 'FDI's (11,12,13) + 1 Slow 'FDI' (21), their interaction gives useful information.
- Fast 'FDI' cross will give you gray or red dots while Slow 'FDI' cross with the slowest of the fast 'FDI's will give white and orange dots. This are great to early spot trend beginnings or trend ends.
- A baseline (purple) is also provided, this is calculated using a 21 period Bollinger bands with 1.618 'SD', once calculated, you just take midpoint, this is the 'TDI's (Traders Dynamic Index) way. The indicator will print purple dots when Slow 'FDI' and baseline crosses, I see them as Short-Term cycle changes.
- Negative slope 'FDI' means trending asset.
- Positive most of the times hints correction, but if it got overextended it might hint a rocket-shot.
TDI Ranges:
- 'FDI' between 1.0≤ 'FDI' ≤1.4 will confirm trend following continuation signals.
- 'FDI' between 1.6≥ 'FDI' ≥2.0 will confirm reversal signals.
- 'FDI' == 1.5 hints a random unpredictable market.
Fractal Attractors
- As you must know, fractals tend orbit certain spots, this are named Attractors, this happens with any fractal behavior. The market of course also shows them, in form of Support & Resistance, Supply Demand, etc. It’s obvious they are there, but now we understand that they’re not linear, as the market is fractal, so simple trendline might not be the best tool to model this.
- I’ve noticed that when the Musashi version of the 'FDI' indicator start making a cluster of multicolor dots, this end up being an attractor, I tend to draw a rectangle as that area as price tend to come back (I still researching here).
Extra useful stuff
- Momentum / speed: Included by checking RSI Study in the indicator properties. This will add two RSI’s (9 and a 7 periods) plus a baseline calculated same way as explained for 'FDI'. This gives accurate short-term trends. It also includes RSI divergences (regular and hidden), deactivate with a simple check in the RSI section of the properties.
- BBWP (Bollinger Bands with Percentile): Efficient way of visualizing volatility as the percentile of Bollinger bands expansion. This line varies color from Iced blue when low volatility and magma red when high. By default, comes with the High vols deactivated for better view of 'FDI' and RSI while all studies are included. DDWP is trend agnostic, just like 'FDI', which make it very clean at providing information.
- Ultra Slow 'FDI': I noticed that while using BBWP and RSI, the indicator gets overcrowded, so there is the possibility of adding only one 'FDI' + its baseline.
Final Note: I’ve shown you few ways of using this indicator, please backtest before using in real trading. As you know trading is more about risk and trade management than the strategy used. This still a work in progress, I really hope you find value out of it. I use it combination with a tool named “Musashi_Katana” (also found in TradingView).
Best!

MTF Commodity Oddity Index (CCI+)MTF Commodity Oddity Index (CCI+)
This chart overlay indicator is based upon the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and can signal multiple triple-timeframe CCI overbought and oversold confluences directly onto your chart, intended for use as a confluence either for reversal trade entries, or potential trade exits, indicating where price may be probable to reverse.
Features include:
- Primary set of fully configurable triple-timeframe overbought and oversold signals, indicating where 3 selected timeframes are all overbought or all oversold at the same time. Enabled by default.
- Secondary set of fully configurable triple-timeframe overbought and oversold signals, indicating where 3 selected timeframes are all overbought or all oversold at the same time. Enabled by default.
- Optional drawing of background colours and/or ribbon seen at bottom of the chart image.
- The default primary MTF #1 timeframes are set to 1 minute, 5 minute and 15 minute. These are highly suitable for low timeframe scalpers trading on < 5m charts, and can often pin point price reversals.
- The default Secondary MTF #2 timeframes are set to 15 minute, 30 minute and 120 minute. These are suitable for both low timeframe scalpers and considerably higher timeframe traders.
- Independent alerts for MTF #1 and MTF #2 triple-timeframe confluences, including options for alerting MTF overbought and MTF oversold individually, as well as an option for alerting either overbought or oversold in a single combined alert.
- Also includes standard configurable CCI options, including CC length and source type.
Note: The features listed above are accurate at the time of publishing but maybe updated or added to in future.
A similar MTF CCI indicator is also available as a panel indicator here .
This indicator is based upon the original MTF Fantastic Stochastic (FS+) available here .
What is the Commodity Channel Index (CCI)?
Investopedia has described the popular oscillator as follows:
“The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a momentum-based oscillator used to help determine when an investment vehicle is reaching a condition of being overbought or oversold.
Developed by Donald Lambert, this technical indicator assesses price trend direction and strength, allowing traders to determine if they want to enter or exit a trade, refrain from taking a trade, or add to an existing position. In this way, the indicator can be used to provide trade signals when it acts in a certain way.”
You can read more about the CCI , its use cases and calculations here .
How do traders use overbought and oversold levels in their trading?
The oversold level, that is traditionally when the CCI is above the 100 level is typically interpreted as being 'overbought', and below the -100 level is typically considered 'oversold'. Traders will often use the CCI at an overbought level as a confluence for entry into a short position, and the CCI at an oversold level as a confluence for an entry into a long position. These levels do not mean that price will necessarily reverse at those levels in a reliable way, however. This is why this version of the CCI employs the triple timeframe overbought and oversold confluence, in an attempt to add a more confluence and reliability to this usage of the CCI . While traditionally, the overbought and oversold levels are below -100 for oversold, and above 100 for overbought, the default threshold settings of this indicator have been increased to provide fewer, stronger signals, especially suited to the low timeframes and highly volatile assets.
CFB-Adaptive Trend Cipher Candles [Loxx]CFB-Adaptive Trend Cipher Candles is a candle coloring indicator that shows both trend and trend exhaustion using Composite Fractal Behavior price trend analysis. To do this, we first calculate the dynamic period outputs from the CFB algorithm and then we injection those period inputs into a correlation function that correlates price input price to the candle index. The closer the correlation is to 1, the lighter the green color until the color turns yellow, sometimes, indicating upward price exhaustion. The closer the correlation is to -1, the lighter the red color until it reaches Fuchsia color indicating downward price exhaustion. Green means uptrend, red means downtrend, yellow means reversal from uptrend to downtrend, fuchsia means reversal from downtrend to uptrend.
What is Composite Fractal Behavior ( CFB )?
All around you mechanisms adjust themselves to their environment. From simple thermostats that react to air temperature to computer chips in modern cars that respond to changes in engine temperature, r.p.m.'s, torque, and throttle position. It was only a matter of time before fast desktop computers applied the mathematics of self-adjustment to systems that trade the financial markets.
Unlike basic systems with fixed formulas, an adaptive system adjusts its own equations. For example, start with a basic channel breakout system that uses the highest closing price of the last N bars as a threshold for detecting breakouts on the up side. An adaptive and improved version of this system would adjust N according to market conditions, such as momentum, price volatility or acceleration.
Since many systems are based directly or indirectly on cycles, another useful measure of market condition is the periodic length of a price chart's dominant cycle, (DC), that cycle with the greatest influence on price action.
The utility of this new DC measure was noted by author Murray Ruggiero in the January '96 issue of Futures Magazine. In it. Mr. Ruggiero used it to adaptive adjust the value of N in a channel breakout system. He then simulated trading 15 years of D-Mark futures in order to compare its performance to a similar system that had a fixed optimal value of N. The adaptive version produced 20% more profit!
This DC index utilized the popular MESA algorithm (a formulation by John Ehlers adapted from Burg's maximum entropy algorithm, MEM). Unfortunately, the DC approach is problematic when the market has no real dominant cycle momentum, because the mathematics will produce a value whether or not one actually exists! Therefore, we developed a proprietary indicator that does not presuppose the presence of market cycles. It's called CFB (Composite Fractal Behavior) and it works well whether or not the market is cyclic.
CFB examines price action for a particular fractal pattern, categorizes them by size, and then outputs a composite fractal size index. This index is smooth, timely and accurate
Essentially, CFB reveals the length of the market's trending action time frame. Long trending activity produces a large CFB index and short choppy action produces a small index value. Investors have found many applications for CFB which involve scaling other existing technical indicators adaptively, on a bar-to-bar basis.

Kase Peak Oscillator w/ Divergences [Loxx]Kase Peak Oscillator is unique among first derivative or "rate-of-change" indicators in that it statistically evaluates over fifty trend lengths and automatically adapts to both cycle length and volatility. In addition, it replaces the crude linear mathematics of old with logarithmic and exponential models that better reflect the true nature of the market. Kase Peak Oscillator is unique in that it can be applied across multiple time frames and different commodities.
As a hybrid indicator, the Peak Oscillator also generates a trend signal via the crossing of the histogram through the zero line. In addition, the red/green histogram line indicates when the oscillator has reached an extreme condition. When the oscillator reaches this peak and then turns, it means that most of the time the market will turn either at the present extreme, or (more likely) at the following extreme.
This is both a reversal and breakout/breakdown indicator. Crosses above/below zero line can be used for breakouts/breakdowns, while the thick green/red bars can be used to detect reversals
The indicator consists of three indicators:
The PeakOscillator itself is rendered as a gray histogram.
Max is a red/green solid line within the histogram signifying a market extreme.
Yellow line is max peak value of two (by default, you can change this with the deviations input settings) standard deviations of the Peak Oscillator value
White line is the min peak value of two (by default, you can change this with the deviations input settings) standard deviations of the PeakOscillator value
The PeakOscillator is used two ways:
Divergence: Kase Peak Oscillator may be used to generate traditional divergence signals. The difference between it and traditional divergence indicators lies in its accuracy.
PeakOut: The second use is to look for a Peak Out. A Peak Out occurs when the histogram breaks beyond the PeakOut line and then pulls back. A Peak Out through the maximum line will be displayed magenta. A Peak Out, which only extends through the Peak Min line is called a local Peak Out, and is less significant than a normal Peak Out signal. These local Peak Outs are to be relied upon more heavily during sideways or corrective markets. Peak Outs may be based on either the maximum line or the minimum line. Maximum Peak Outs, however, are rarer and thus more significant than minimum Peak Outs. The magnitude of the price move may be greater following the maximum Peak Out, but the likelihood of the break in trend is essentially the same. Thus, our research indicates that we should react equally to a Peak Out in a trendy market and a Peak Min in a choppy or corrective market.

Institutional OrderBlock Pressure█ OVERVIEW
OrderBlocks are areas where Banks take a Short or Long position. So they create a movement that they would like to hide from us, but luckily for us they cannot. Take the example of Banks opening Short position for x reason. The Trend is already Bearish. The Price will fall and then make a Reversal
(most often to the price where they opened their positions) and it is at this precise moment that they will again resume a Short position twice as
large because for the moment, following this example it is not in their interest that the Price exceeds a certain Price since they are Seller.
As a result they create a solid Resistance (the strongest it is). There are several ways to interpret this logic, we can try to follow the movement of Banks
or on the contrary take advantage of the recovery of the course. Note that not having level 2 and access to the order book from TradingView we can only
make a rough estimate of the "OrderBlocks" through VPOC.
█ HOW TO INTERPRET?
• The Labels displayed by "Red Arrow" and "Green Arrow" represent supposed Bearish or Bullish OrderBlock. Note that you should not in any way interpret these "Arrows" as Signals to Buy or Sell for the reasons mentioned above.
• The OB Line works according to detected OrderBlock Candle. These lines indicate the potential recovery area. (The highlighted lines and candles are white by default).
• It is better to use this indicator on Higher TimeFrame like 2H or 4H.
• You can change the Volume Ratio (here VPOC) which is 89 by default.
• There is a Customization section that allows you to change the colors of the Lines and Candles from White to Black depending on your background color (Light or Dark).
• YES the indicator is Repainting and YES you can have False Alerts since Labels appear in intra-bar!
█ ALERTS
• In fact we don't really need Alerts for the logic of this indicator except maybe to get the Price of the last OB Detected and to keep this price in your Alert History and may use it later. Some improvements will come in future with updates and we have already planned to add Alerts when a "Line Cross" gone occur.
If you notice any bugs or if you have any suggestions, don't be hateful gangs ;)
Happy trading everyone and remember, risk management is the most important!
Break/Reversal/Touch [Intromoto]This script shows the engulfing breaks, touches and potential reversals for when prices arrives at certain time frame closes.
On publishing it shows the crossovers of the 6 hour, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly time frames.
The candle main signals are contingent on crossing over the closing level, and engulfing the previous candle. Secondary signals occur when the candle low or high touch the closing levels, in the directional color, i.e. you'll get a bearish touch signal if the candle high touches the level, and it's a red candle. Reversals occur when the subsequent candle breaks a closing level, but the current candle engulfs the previous candle in the opposing direction.
If a candles low or high hits a daily, weekly, or monthly close level it also will plot a "D/W/M Touch" in the according direction.
Thanks
Peak Reversal v2This is a brand new version of my Peak Reversal indicator. As with the older version, the idea behind this indicator is simple: identify potential price reversal areas, and identifying markets which are trending. In this new version I focused on improving on the old concept, but introduced a bunch of features heavily inspired by Adam Grimes' ideas from The Art and Science of Trading. (I also blatantly stole the way he colors candles outside of the bands. Sorry.)
As you can see below this indicator gives traders a plethora of tools to judge whether a market is trending, and might be mean reverting soon.
Follow me, join my group, like the script. You know the drill.
Basic functions:
You have a triplet of Keltner (ATR-based) bands in Peak Reversal. They are defined by a multiplier and an EMA, which is referred to as "the mean". There's a tight, normal, and an extreme band. The multiplier defines how far apart your bands are. By default the indicator uses 1.125, 2.25, and 3.375. The tight band is off by default, but you can turn it on in the options. The mean is also off by default. This is more a personal preference thing for me, because I happen to use a different indicator to show a couple of moving averages.
Band crosses:
Peak Reversal can indicate whenever price crosses one of the bands. This can help traders identify points where a mean reversal play could be an option. Triangles indicate these crosses. New in version 2 is the ability to choose which of the bands to use to show these crosses. If you are more of an aggressive trader, you might find it better to show tight band crosses. If you are looking for more extreme market conditions, then choose extreme. The default is "normal".
Free bars:
Indicating free bars is also a concept from the book. A "free bar" is one which stands "freely" above the bands, which means its low price is completely outside of the bands. It can be argued that a freely standing bar is an even more extreme mean deviation, than just a band cross. Traders can gain an additional advantage studying the markets this way. Free bars are not shown by default, when on, a star shape on the candles indicates free bars. Both band crosses and free bars can be shown at the same time, but there might be overlap.
Deviations:
Also based on a concept from The Art and Science of Trading, is an indication of price "deviations". You will notice that when a candle "touches" a band (high and close above band), its colored. The idea here is to show traders when a market is in motion, but also when a mean reversal might be coming next. To accomplish this, the more colors deviate, the darker the color is. The idea here is also simple, the more price deviates off the mean, the likelier it is to return to it. This uses three different shades to show these deviations. 1-2 is one shade, 3-4 another, and upwards of 5 there's only the darkest shade. I didn't make extensive studies, which color for how many candles would be appropriate to use, but I do believe it doesn't matter that much in usage. It's clear what traders gain from using this information: more deviation, the likelier a snapback becomes.
Advanced mode:
Last but not least, I decided to add an advanced mode for advanced traders. This does nothing more than flip all colors and shapes upside down. Everything that is red, becomes green. The idea is where some traders say "buy low, sell high" (standard mode), other traders might say "buy high, sell higher" (advanced mode). See for yourself, which one you like better.

Trend Reversal Indicator (EMA of slopes)Good morning Traders
Inspirated by lukescream EMA-slope strategy, today I want to share with you this simple indicator whose possible use-case would be for detecting in advance possible trend reversals, specially on higher timeframes.
Once that you've chosen the desired source (RSI, EMA or Stochastic k or d), the indicator will calculate its "slope" approximating its first order derivative by the division between the last variation of the series and its last value.
You can see the slope as a white line by enabling the relative checkmark (it's disabled by default since it simply messes up the the graph)
Then, the slope itself becomes the source for two exponential moving averages: the fast one (in blue) has a period of 20 while the slow one (in red, it becomes similiar to a horizontal line actually) has a period of 500
Why the slope? Since all the sources mentioned before are directly or indirectly calculated on the price action, a more aggressiveness in the price movement would be translated into a more (positive/negative) steepness of those indicator (of course this effect would be far more evident if the indicators are calculated on low periods, but really low periods could compromise the consistency of the signals).
In this way, the slope would mirror the decisiveness of price movements and a comparison between two averages calculated from it (the first one based on more recent values, the second one that conisders also older values) could tell you in advance what direction the market is possibly about to take
The usage is simple: once that the fast moving average crosses upward the slow one, this could be a sign of potential trend reversal from bearish to bullish. On the contrary, if the fast EMA crosses downward the slow one, this could be a sign of potential trend reversal from bullish to bearish.
What I suggest you is to integrate this indicator with Exponential Moving Averages plotted on the price candles, in order to have a general bias for opening long or short positions, and with an oscillator as well such as the Stochastisc RSI in order to detect the overbought/oversold zones for opening/closing positions at the right moment.
Happy Trading!

MS ReversalsDisplay of a certain type of reversal bars. Reversal formations have to be considered in market context. Basically downward signals in the uptrend are ignored, unless there is an non-correlated inversion setup. Similarly, upside signals in downtrends are ignored until a bullish reversal setup occurs.

Smart Envelope - Running Away From The TrendIntroduction
Envelopes indicators consist in displaying one upper and one lower extremity on the price chart. They are most of the time built by adding/subtracting a volatility estimator (rolling stdev, atr, range...etc) to a central tendency estimator (SMA, EMA, LSMA...etc) . Their interpretation is often subject to debate amongst technical analyst, some will use a support and resistance methodology, where price will start a downtrend once it cross the upper extremity, and a down trend once it cross the lower one. Others will prefer a breakout methodology, where price will reach higher highs once it cross the upper extremity, and lower lows when it cross the lower one. Because of price non stationarity its hard to select the best methodology, the support and resistance one will mostly work on ranging markets, while the breakout methodology mostly work on trending ones.
Therefore new methods where proposed, instead of using moving averages with a high lag, faster filters where used, such as the least squares moving average or zero lag exponential moving average, other band indicators where also created using adaptive filters, but improvements remain relatively low. The most difficult task would be to make extremities with the ability to return accurate support and resistances levels, and today i want to provide a new way to construct such extremities by using the recursive bands framework that allow extremely creative and efficient indicators.
The Main Idea
With classical bands indicators, the upper and lower extremity will still be correlated with the main trend, the problem behind such method is that we can't use a support and resistance methodology with trending markets, the fact that reversals exist tells us that our extremities will always be crossed by the main trend, here is an example :
Here the support is correlated with the main trend, in order for it to be accurate we must assume the trend will go on for ever, and will only detect higher lows, this is what we expect with the orange line, but we can see that a severe down trend totally destroy our plan.
In short we need to give some headroom to our extremities, and thus one extremity can't be correlated with the main trend.
The proposed Indicator
We want to minimize the correlation between the extremities, so if the upper extremity rise, the lower one must fall. This allow to give some headroom and allow the user to anticipate larger movements, this is how bands seeking to give support and resistances points should work.
The indicator has a length setting that control the wideness of the extremities, unlike other indicators low values such as 14 can still create really wide bands, take that into account.
length = 5. Lower length values allow for more motion from the extremities, but does not necessarily involve detecting shorter terms support and resistances levels. The factor setting is not that important, but it allow to return extremities with more motion when high, and really wide bands when below 1 and greater than 0.
Central Tendency Estimator
Something fun with the recursive band framework is that the bands are no longer based on the central tendency estimator but its the central tendency estimator who is based on the bands. The central tendency estimator can also provide support and resistances points with the price, like classical moving averages, altho its lack of motion is this time a downside.
Conclusion
Altho the extremities are more accurate than other band indicators, the problem remain the same, larger trend will always break the extremities and continue creating higher/lower highs/lows, at this point our stop loss would certainly be triggered. This is a huge downsides of contrarian strategy, we sure might anticipate reversals earlier, but we are exposed to larger price movements, therefore the risk is extreme.
But the proposed methodology might still prove useful to develop more robust support and resistances levels based on envelopes indicators.

Three-Bar Reversal/ContinuationThis indicator identifies a three-bar expansion pattern based on range and volume, designed to highlight moments when the market pushes strongly, pauses, and then resumes with confirmation.
Detection Logic
* Bar (two bars ago) must show sufficient strength, determined by the number of conditions met.
* Bar (one bar ago) must be neutral (strength = 0), marking a brief pause.
*Bar (current bar) must continue the expansion, with range and volume greater than the prior bar.
(Bar is used as a safeguard to prevent repeated detection during ongoing strong moves)
Strength Scoring
Each bar is scored 0–3 based on which of the following conditions it satisfies:
* Range exceeds a multiple of the recent average
* Volume exceeds a multiple of the recent average
* Range × volume exceeds a multiple of the recent average
The detection level input controls how many of these conditions must hold to classify a bar as “strong.” This allows tuning from permissive (1 condition) to strict (all 3 conditions).
Parameters & Utility
* length: Lookback period for moving averages of span, volume, and span×volume. Larger values smooth the averages, reducing false positives; smaller values increase sensitivity.
* coeff: Multiplicative threshold to define an unusually strong bar. Higher values reduce frequency but increase reliability.
* detectLevel: Minimum number of conditions that must be met for a bar to count as “strong.”
* showCont: Whether to allow continuation signals away from local extrema (if false, only reversals near highs/lows are considered).
* symbolUp / symbolDown: Customizable plotting symbols for bullish/bearish signals.
* showStrength: Plots tiny dots indicating the strength of each bar (1–3).
Rationale
This structure captures a recurring market motif: strong push → brief pause → renewed push, where the renewed activity is confirmed by both price expansion and volume. Using a combination of statistical thresholds (range, volume, range×volume) and price structure ensures that signals are both measurable and visually interpretable.
Usage Notes
* This setup allows traders to visually or systematically identify potential reversal or continuation points while controlling sensitivity to noise.
* Designed as a mechanical filter rather than a fully automated trading system. Signals highlight notable activity but do not dictate entry, exit, or risk management.
* Works best when combined with trend/context filters or higher-timeframe analysis.
* Adjust the parameters based on the volatility of the instrument and timeframe.

True Breakout Pattern [TradingFinder] Breakout Signal Indicator🔵 Introduction
In many market conditions, what initially appears to be a decisive breakout often turns out to be nothing more than a false breakout or fake breakout. Price breaks through a key swing level or an important support and resistance zone, only to quickly return to its previous range.
These failed breakouts, which are often the result of liquidity traps or market manipulation, serve more as a warning sign of structural weakness than confirmation of a new trend.
This indicator is designed around the concept of the fake breakout.
The logic is simple but precise : when price breaks a swing level and returns to that level within a maximum of five candles, the move is considered a false breakout. At this point, a Fibonacci retracement is applied to the recent price swing to evaluate the pullback area.
If price, within ten candles after the return to the breakout level, enters the Fibonacci zone between 0.618 and 1.0, the setup becomes valid for a potential entry. This area is identified as a long entry zone, with the stop loss placed just beyond the 1.0 level and the take profit defined based on the desired risk-to-reward ratio.
By combining accurate detection of false breakouts, analysis of price reaction to swing levels, and alignment with Fibonacci retracement logic, this framework allows traders to identify opportunities often missed by others. In a market where failed breakouts are a common and recurring phenomenon, this indicator aims to transform these traps into measurable trading opportunities.
Long Setup :
Short Setup :
🔵 How to Use
This indicator operates based on the recognition of false breakouts from structural levels in the market, specifically swing levels, and combines that with Fibonacci retracement analysis.
In this strategy, trades are only considered when price returns to the broken level within a defined time window and reacts appropriately inside a predefined Fibonacci range. Depending on the direction of the initial breakout, the system outlines two scenarios for long and short setups.
🟣 Long Setup
In the long setup, price initially breaks below a support level or swing low. If the price returns to the broken level within a maximum of five candles, the move is identified as a fake breakout.
At this stage, a Fibonacci retracement is drawn from the recent high to the low. If price, within ten candles of returning to the level, moves into the 0.618 to 1.0 Fibonacci zone, the conditions for a long entry are met.
The stop loss is placed slightly below the 1.0 level, while the take profit is set based on the trader’s preferred risk-reward ratio. This setup aims to capture deeply discounted entries at low risk, aligned with smart money reversals.
🟣 Short Setup
In the short setup, the price breaks above a resistance level or swing high. If the price returns to that level within five candles, the move is again treated as a false breakout. Fibonacci is then drawn from the recent low to the high to observe the retracement area.
Should price enter the 0.618 to 1.0 Fibonacci range within ten candles of returning, a short entry is considered valid. In this case, the stop loss is placed just above the 1.0 level, and the take profit is adjusted based on the intended risk-reward target. This method allows traders to identify high-probability short setups by focusing on failed breakouts and deep pullbacks.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Logical settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Valid After Trigger Bars : Limits how many candles after a fake breakout the entry zone remains valid.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
🟣 Display settings
Displaying or not displaying swings and setting the color of labels and lines.
🟣 Alert Settings
Alert False Breakout : Enables alerts for Breakout.
Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'.
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'.
🔵 Conclusion
A sound understanding of the false breakout phenomenon and its relationship to structural price behavior is essential for technical traders aiming to improve precision and consistency. Many poor trading decisions stem from misinterpreting failed breakouts and entering too early into weak signals.
A structured approach, grounded in the analysis of swing levels and validated through specific price action and timing rules, can turn these misleading moves into valuable trade opportunities.
This indicator, by combining fake breakout detection with time filters and Fibonacci-based retracement zones, helps traders only engage with the market when multiple confirming factors are in alignment. The result is a strategy that emphasizes probability, risk control, and clarity in decision-making, offering a solid edge in navigating today’s volatile markets.
