Pin Bar IndicatorThe Pin Bar indicator is a pattern recognition indicator for Forex, Stocks, Indices, Futures, Commodities and Cryptos.
The strategy that comes with the Pin Bar pattern is based on price action.
Inputs of the indicator are:
MaxBars: maximum number of bars back to calculate searching for signals
BuySignals (true/false): you can filter signals and decide to show BUY signals or not. Default settings is true (no filter).
SellSignals (true/false): you can filter signals and decide to show SELL signals or not. Default settings is true (no filter).
Alerts:
The alerts are managed by TradingView trading platform features and not by the indicator itself. You must use Pin Bar Sell less than zero and Pin Bar Buy greater than zero as settings for the alerts.
Example of BUY alerts settings : BUY example (see documentation in our website)
Example of SELL alerts settings : SELL example (see documentation in our website)
Beware that TradingView (at the time of this publication) limits the number of alerts you can receive according to the plan you subscribed with the platform. If receiving alerts is important for you then you should investigate carefully this aspect before purchasing the indicator.
Trading rules:
For BUY: wait for a bullish Pin Bar to print on a support zone after a down trend. Wait for the price to break high of the Pin Bar (5 pips above the high for H1 and higher timeframes, 1 pip for M5). Immediately enter in the trade once high is broken. You also can use a BUY STOP order placed 5 pips above the high of the candle (plus spread). Stop Loss should be placed below the low of the Pin Bar. If order is not triggered in the next candle, then a trade is invalidated and should be canceled.
For SELL: wait for a bearish Pin Bar to print on resistance zone after an up trend. Wait for the price to break the low of the Pin Bar (5 pips below the low for H1 and higher timeframes, 1 pip for M5). Immediately enter in the trade once low is broken. You also can use a SELL STOP order placed 5 pips below the low of the candle. Stop Loss should be placed above the high of the Pin Bar. If order is not triggered in the next candle then trade is invalidated and should be canceled.
The Pin Bar indicator can be used with any timeframe.

Engulfing strategy with DMI confirmationThe strategy contains Bearish and Bullish Engulfing trend reverse alerts with entry and closure notifications. Entries are enforced by Directional Movement Index (DMI) indicator levels combination. The strategy can be applied to spot, futures and marginal trading exchanges. It is suitable for both long and short positions and works accurately with BTC, USDT, ETH and BNB quote currencies. Best to use with 1H timeframe charts
Strategy elements can be configured at your own desire with user interface settings, no programming skills required:
1. Choose signals type: Long, Short or Both
2. Choose trend detection pattern rule:
SMA50 - provides a higher number of positions
SMA50 + SMA200 provides a higher accuracy
3. Change risk management settings to make the most accurate and efficient configuration. You can set up unique stop loss, take profit and trailing offset for different assets
4. Configure strategy periods
DMI and ADX lengths
ADX Smoothing
Key level
EMA and SMA lengths
5. Configure backtest dates
6. Show or hide RSI support and resistance bands
Engulfing strategy provides information for traders to enter the market in anticipation of a possible reversal in trend. Engulfing candles tend to signal a reversal of the current trend in the market. This specific pattern involves two candles with the latter candle "engulfing" the entire body of the candle before it. The engulfing candle can be bullish or bearish depending on where it forms in relation to the existing trend. The script calculates and compares values of the price action candles to define is there an engulfing and what type it is: bullish or bearish
If there is a bullish engulfing the indicator fills price action candle with yellow color
If there is a bearish engulfing the indicator fills price action candle with purple color
Advantages of the script:
1. The script detects presence of both types of engulfing: Bullish and Bearish
2. Weak engulfment signals and market noises are filtered by RSI bands and DMI confirmations. This allows to receive only strong and confirmed engulfment signals
3. This script has configurable risk management settings (order size, commission, take profit, stop loss and trailing). This provides you opportunity of direct broker connection and allows to conduct backtests before applying the strategy to real account. You also can set up strategy actions alerts
At the chart you can see the historical price action of ADAUSDT at Binance exchange from the January 1st 2019 till current date. The strategy is set up to receive only long signals because it is a spot market. Moments when the strategy triggered to enter a position are shown as L label while position entries are shown as "Long" messages. Moments when a certain position should be closed are shown as "Exitlong" messages
The strategy demonstrate high backtest results:
Mathematical expectation of risk management settings is positive = 1.34%
Percent profitable = 93.33%
Profit factor = 3.253
Quantity of entries = 75
Net profit = 15.22%
How to use?
Long signals:
1. Apply indicator to a trading pair your are interested in.
2. Click Settings button and select Alert Positions Type Long
3. Once bullish engulfing and confirmation conditions are met price action candle will be colored yellow and script strategy will enter a position.
4. Check Strategy Tester to set up optimal Risk management settings: stop loss, trailing profit activation point, trailing offset
5. Set up the strategy alert to be notified when a position should be opened or closed
Short signals:
1. Apply indicator to a trading pair your are interested in.
2. Click Settings button and select Alert Positions Type Short
3. Once bearish engulfing and confirmation conditions are met price action candle will be colored purple and script strategy will enter a position.
4. Check Strategy Tester to set up optimal Risk management settings: stop loss, trailing profit activation point, trailing offset
5. Set up the strategy alert to be notified when a position should be opened or closed

Tweezer Pro IndicatorTweezer Pro Indicator is a pattern recognition indicator for Forex, Stocks, Indices, Futures, Commodities and Cryptos.
The standard Tweezer is a two bar pattern. Our enhanced version is a multi-bar pattern. We filter the patterns for you so that you only get the best and most effective patterns and ignore the noise.
The Tweezer pattern is a simple and effective pattern to trade.
The strategy that comes with the Tweezer is based on price action.
The indicator was developed with the expertise of Justin Mueller. The indicator uses same rules as Justin who is an expert trader using the Tweezer pattern for a while now. You can visit Justin Youtube channel, like and subscribe.
The indicator does what he was designed for: displaying Tweezer patterns. Don't expect to follow the up and down arrows and make money. Trading is not that simple. The Tweezer pattern is a starting point. The arrow is not a confirmed BUY and SELL signal in itself. The Tweezer indicator alerts you that the market might be at a turning point now. Then you must use other elements of your strategy (trend, momentum, support/resistance, volatility, daily bias, and other indicators) to confirm the signal and place a trade.
The Tweezer Pro version let users define their own pattern definition. This version is meant for expert traders who want to use their own optimized settings.
Inputs of the indicator are:
MaxBars: maximum number of bars back to calculate searching for signals
Settings (automatic/manual): you can either use the defaults settings optimized by Justin Mueller (automatic) or use your own settings (manual).
TrendPeriod (20 as default): number of candles the indicator should look back to determine current trend direction.
CandleSize (0.5 as default): minimum size for candles to consider pattern as valid (0.0:no filter, 0.5:middle size candle, 1.0:big candle only).
SameTailsSize (0.9 as default): check accuracy of same candle wicks size to validate pattern (0.0:ignore wick size criterion, 0.8:strict same size, 0.9:very strict same size).
SameOpenClose (0.9 as default): check accuracy of same open and close for the candles (0.0:ignore criterion, 0.8:strict same open/close, 0.9:very strict same open/close).
UseEngulfingFilter (true/false): if set to true then ignore patterns that do not include engulfing pattern.
UseEngulfingEvenAfter (true/false): if set to true then will also consider engulfing pattern with the next candle after the Tweezer formation.
Trading rules:
For BUY: wait for a bullish Tweezer (Tweezer bottom) to print on a support zone after a down trend. Wait for price to break high of the Tweezer pattern (5 pips above the high for H1 and higher time frames). Immediately enter in the trade once high is broken. You also can use a BUY STOP order placed 5 pips above the high of the candle (plus spread). Stop Loss should be placed below the low of the Tweezer pattern. If order is not triggered in the next candle then trade is invalidated and should be canceled.
For SELL: wait for a bearish Tweezer (Tweezer top) to print on resistance zone after an up trend. Wait for price to break the low of the Tweezer pattern (5 pips below the low for H1 and higher time frames). Immediately enter in the trade once low is broken. You also can use a SELL STOP order place 5 pips below the low of the candle. Stop Loss should be placed above the high of the Tweezer pattern. If order is not triggered in the next candle then trade is invalidated and should be canceled.
The Tweezer indicator can be used with any time frame.
The Tweezer indicator can be used with any class of asset: Forex, Stocks, Indices, Futures, Commodities and Cryptos.
Zidni Vertical Run Down Vertical Run UpVertical Run Down and Vertical Run Up based on Tom Bulkowski Chart Pattern with elaboration in percentage of the drop and up.
Bullish Piercing ScannerA piercing pattern is known in technical analysis to be a potential signal for a bullish reversal. The formation in its strictest form is rather rare, but tends to perform better the longer the downtrend in front of it. When technical studies such as RSI, Stochastic or MACD are showing a bullish divergence at the same time a piercing pattern appears, it strengthens the likelihood that this two-day pattern is meaningful.
This is a two-candle pattern. The previous candle must be bearish, the recent candle must open below the close of the previous candle, the recent candle must close above the middle of the previous candle. You can adjust the closing and opening gap between the two candles within this scanner's settings (price).
Candlestick Pattern IdentifierMy script builds upon another user-submitted script by rebuilding the logic used to identify candlestick patterns. The logic in my script is a mix of strict and lax guidelines to mitigate false flags and present valid buy and sell signals.
-To use this indicator, simply add it to any chart. It will identify trends on any time frame although the lower you go, the more signals you'll see and the higher probability of those signals being false flags. You can also disable any candlestick patterns that you feel are not as useful.
- This indicator works best with Stocks and also with Forex markets to a lesser extent.
- This indicator works the best on the Daily chart and also works (with varying degrees of success) on any timeframe at or above 1 hour. I've found that this indicator works the best when used in tandem with the Daily and Hourly charts with the Hourly chart being used to determine an entry point while the Daily chart is used for long term trend analysis.
123 Trend Continuation PatternThis simple indicator will help identify the 123 Patterns on the charts. It's build based on the zigzag indicator, which will work as a guideline to identify the 3 points. As soon as the price crosses the third point, the indicator will draw 3 lines: entry, take profit, and stop loss. Those lines will work as a reference and may help with other indicators. This kind of analysis will work on any time frame and symbol, but those markets that have high volatility may have better result

a strange coincidence and maybe a pattern?Hi everyone,
as soon as I know the reason for those numbers, I can't figure out if there is some kind of pattern (confirmation bias or stuff like that).
So I'm here asking for your help to try to find some kind of pattern between those numbers.
Please comment down below your ideas and I will try to code your ideas and update the indicator with new code.
I've separated odd and even numbers only for a better view.
Thank you
triangle pattern strategy (lirshah)the triangle strategy is based on price action which plots a triangle pattern, in upward trends it plots green colored upward triangle, while in downward trend , red bearish triangle will be plotted.

RSI W Pattern strategyThis strategy is similar to RSI V pattern strategy, but it looks for W pattern in RSI chart.
RULES
======
BUY
1. ema20 is above ema50
2. RSI5 crossing up 30 from oversold area
3. and RSI5 must be below overbought area (default value set to 65)
Add to existing Position
1. You can add on the next W pattern OR
2. if RSI5 is crossing up from below 20
Exit
1. when RSI5 reaches 75
Note: This is for short term/swing trading . which gets on when price dip in trending and quickly gets you out on RSI overbought area
{INDYAN} GO WITH TREND V2This indicator has almost everything for intraday trading . There are two supertrends one with higher time frame and one at lower time frame, Due to which we can recognize reversal. If higher time frame supertrend is showing uptrend and minor is showing downtrend then better to avoid taking any trade in between. Both trend should be in same direction.
Tenkan and kijun is there to verify the trend authencity, check where the tenkan and kijun crossover is there or not at the time of reversal signal given by supertrends. It will boost trading chances.
Also VWAP is placed to know the current situation, If price is below VWAP go for sort if all other things match as above said.
HEMA LEMA is a EMA band and i found that it act as support and resistance, If price breaks channel with volume and sustain above/below for 2 candle close (TIMEFRAME AS SYMBOL).
Also placed FAST EMA to recognize the fast moving trend.
Pivot with CPR is there to trade on basis of CPR and Pivot.
For demand and supply traders, they can use blue and black candle for marking up zones. Blue is boring/base candle and Black is explosive candle.
I hope it will help my trader friends to recognize the trend and reversal.
Let me know if anything more we need to include or remove to make it better for everyone.
Happy Trading... Love INDYAN

Tweezer Scanner v1Some code for detecting tweezer candles, which are reversal patterns. You'll need to tweak the settings to be either less strict (more detections) or more strict (less detections). I found that if you follow the documentation for tweezers exactly, you will get very few detections. It is possible that this candlestick has become overused, so the original pattern itself has been lost to the noise of the market.
Settings:
1. Tweezer Max Body Height (Pips) - How tall can the body of the tweezer be, in pips (increase this pips to increase detections)
2. Tweezer Body Similarity (>%) - How similar should the body heights be, higher percentage is more similar (reduce this % to increase detections)
3. Tweezer Tail Similarity (>%) - How similar should the tail heights be, higher percentage is more similar (reduce this % to increase detections)
4. Tweezer Tail Proportion (<%) - How short should the opposite tail heights be, lower percentage is shorter and more similar to the documentation (increase this % to increase detections)
Vanilla ABCD PatternPatterns makes parts of the many predictive tools available to technical analysts, the most simples ones can be easily detected by using scripts. The proposed tool detect the simple (vanilla) form of the ABCD pattern, a pattern aiming to detect potential price swings. The script can use an additional confirmation condition that aim to filter potential false signals.
ABCD PATTERN
The ABCD pattern is not meant to be detected by analyzing individuals closing price observations but by analyzing longer term movements, this is done by using tools such as zig-zag. Like any pattern the ABCD one comes in different flavors, the simplest being based on the following structures:
Once price reach D we can expect a reversal. The classical pattern has the following conditions : BC = 0.618*AB and CD = 1.618*AB , as you can see this condition is based on 0.618 which is a ratio in the Fibonacci sequence. Other conditions are for AB to equal to CD or for CD to be 161.8% longer than AB. Why these conditions ? Cause Fibonacci of course .
The ABCD pattern that the proposed tool aim to detect is not based on the zig-zag but only on individual price observations and don't make use of any of the previously described conditions, thus becoming more like a candle pattern.
When the label is blue it means that the tool has detected a bullish ABCD pattern, while a red label means that the tool has detected a bearish ABCD pattern.
We can't expect patterns based on the analysis of 1,2,3 or 4 closing price observations to predict the reversal of mid/long term movements, this can be seen on the above chart, but we can see some signals predicting short term movements.
Since the pattern is based on a noisy variation, using smoother input can result in less signals.
Above the tool on BTCUSD using closing price as input. Below the tool using ohlc4 as input:
TOOL OPTIONS
Being to early can be as devastating as being to late, therefore a confirmation point can be beneficial, the tool allow you to wait for confirmation thus having a potentially better timing. Below is a chart of AMD with no confirmation:
As we can see there are many signals with some of them occurring to early, we can fix this by checking the confirmation option:
The confirmation is simply based on the candle color, for example if a bearish ABCD pattern has been detected in the past and the closing price is greater than the opening price then the tool return a buy signal. The same apply with a bearish ABCD pattern.
The "last bar repaint" option is true by default, this in order to show the bar where the D point of the pattern has been detected, since the closing price of the last bar is constantly changing the signals on the last bar can be constantly appearing/disappearing, unchecking the option will fix this but will no longer the bar where the D point of the pattern has been detected.
SUMMARY
The pattern is simple and can sometimes be accurate when predicting the direction of future short terms movements. The tool was a request, as it seems i don't post many pattern detectors, well thats true, and the reason is that for me patterns are not super significant, and their detection can be extremely subjective, this is why simple patterns are certainly the only ones worth a look.
Don't expect me to post many pattern related indicators in the future ^^'
chanlun_penthe strong line call 'pen' in chanlun.it is build from the thin line,and the thin line is about kline trend. when you see the red line(strong or thin) ,that's mean down trend has been complete,at the same time,up trend has start.

Sequentially Filtered Moving AverageThe previously proposed sequential filter aimed to filter variations lower than a certain period, this allowed to remove noisy variations and retain only the closing price values that occurred after a consecutive up/down, however because of the noisy nature of the closing price large filtering was impossible, in order to tackle to this problem the same indicator using a simple moving average as input is proposed, this allow for smoother results.
We will see that the proposed indicator can provide an alternative moving average that could be used as slow moving average in crossover systems.
The Indicator
The length parameter as the same function as the one described in the sequential filter post, however here length also control the period of the moving average used input, in short larger values of length will return a smoother but less reactive output.
In blue the moving average with length = 200, and in red the moving average with length = 50.
It is interesting to see how the moving average remain flat during ranging/flat market periods
Unfortunately like the sequential filter the sequentially filtered moving average (SFMA) is not affected by large short term variations such as gaps or short term volatile events. This is because of the nature of the sequential filter to ignore movements amplitude and only focus on the variation period.
Moving Average Crossover System
The SFMA is equal to a simple moving average of period length when a consecutive up/down sequence of size length has occurred, else the SFMA is equal to its precedent value, therefore we could expect less crosses between a fast moving average and the SFMA as slow moving average.
We can see on the figure above that the fast moving average of period 50 (in green) cross more with the slow moving average of period 200 (in red) than with the SFMA of period 200 (in blue).
Crosses can occur at the same time as with the classical slow moving average (in red) or a bit later.
Conclusion
A new moving average based on the recently proposed sequential filter has been proposed, it can be seen that under a moving average crossover system the proposed moving average seems to be more effective at producing less crosses without necessarily doing it with an excessive lag, in fact the moving average has either lag (length-1)/2 or lag length .
In the future it could be interesting to provide an hybrid alternative that take into account volatility as well as variations period.

Sequential Filter - An Original Filtering ApproachRemoving irregular variations in the closing price remain a major task in technical analysis, indicators used to this end mostly include moving averages and other kind of low-pass filters. Understanding what kind of variations we want to remove is important, irregular (noisy) variations have mostly a short term period, fully removing them can be complicated if the filter is not properly selected, for example we might want to fully remove variations with a period of 2 bars and lower, if we select an arithmetic moving average the filter output might still contain such variations because of the ripples in the frequency response passband, all it would take is a variation of high amplitude for that variation to be clearly visible.
Although all it would take for better filtering is a filter with better performance in the frequency domain (gaussian, Butterworth, Bessel...) we can design innovative approaches that does not rely on the model of classical moving averages, today a new technical indicator is proposed, the technical indicator fully remove variations lower than the selected period.
The Indicator Approach
In order for the indicator output to change the closing price need to produce length consecutive up's/down's, length control the variation threshold of the indicator, variations lower than length are fully removed. Lets see a visual example :
Here length = 3, the closing price need to make 3 consecutive up's/down's, when the sequence happen the indicator output is equal to src , here the closing price, else the indicator is equal to its precedent value, hence removing other variations. The value of 3 is the value by default, this is because i have seen in the past that the average smallest variations period where in general of 3 bars.
Because the indicator focus only on the variation sign, it totally ignore the amplitude of the movement, this provide an effective way to filter short term retracement in a fluctuation as show'n below :
The candle option of the indicator allow the indicator to only focus on the body color of a candle, thus ignoring potential gaps, below is an example with the candle option off :
If we activate the "candle" option we end up with :
Note that the candle option is based on the closing and opening price, if you use the indicator on another indicator output make sure to have the candle option off.
Length and Indicator Color
The closing price is infected by noise, and will rarely make a large sequence of consecutive up's/down's, the indicator can therefore be useful to detect consecutive sequence of length period, here 6 is selected on BTCUSD :
A consecutive up's/down's of period 6 can be considered a relatively rare event.
It is important to note that the color of the indicator used by default has nothing to do with the consecutive sequence detected, that is the indicator turning red doesn't necessarily mean that a consecutive down's sequence has occurred, but only that this sequence has occurred at a lower value than the precedent detected sequence. This is show'n below :
In order to make the indicator color based on the detected sequence check the "Color Based On Detected Sequence" option.
Conclusion
An original approach on filtering price variations has been proposed, i believe the indicator code is elegant as well as relatively efficient, and since high values of length can't really be used the indicator execution speed will remain relatively fast.

BEST ABCD Pattern ScreenerHello ladies and gentlemen traders
Continuing deeper and stronger with the screeners' educational series one more time.
This one is heavy crazy mega cool (pardon my french).
I - Concept
I present to you, ladies and gentlemen, the first screener for harmonic patterns.
Starting with an ACBD pattern screener this time!!
I used the calculations from Ricardo Santo's script
In short, he's using fractals (regular or Bill Williams ) for the pattern calculations. A masterpiece !!!
The screener will show in 1 consolidated chart the ABCD patterns for 5 selected assets. Could be stocks, forex, crypto, whatever you feel like making money with
II - Definitions
The ABCD pattern ( AB=CD ) is one of the classic chart patterns which is repeated over and over again.
The ABCD pattern shows perfect harmony between price and time.
More info here
The Williams Fractal is an indicator, developed by Bill Williams, that aims to detect reversal points (highs and lows) and marks them with arrows.
Up fractals and down fractals have specific shapes. The Williams Fractal indicator helps users determine in which direction price will develop
Source: www.tradingview.com
III - How did I set the screener
The visual signals are as follow:
- square: whenever there is an ABCD pattern detected
Then the colors are:
- green when a bullish pattern is detected
- red when a bearish pattern is detected
🔸 The script screenshot shows two red squares matching two ABCD bearish pattern from the above panel. As the chart is showing APPL, I highlighted where the screener mentioned the fruit stock ( APPLE, pun, bad joke, Dave out...)
🔸 I tried to make it as clear as I could with red arrows
Once again, we pushed together the limits of pine script beyond of what we thought was possible, beyond the realm of this world, reaching finally the dreamt pine script heaven (am I going too far? feel free to tell me)
Best regards,
Dave

▪ The Woodies CCI (14) is indicated with the fuchsia color
▪ WCCI length auto-change to 20 on 1-hour chart intervals and higher
▪ The Turbo CCI (6) has a dark red color
▪ TWCCI auto-hide on 1-hour chart intervals and higher
▪ Early Alert Functionality available (eg 20 seconds before the signal is considered valid)
▪ Simplified Alerts
- An all in one alert
- Alerts for entry triggers
- Alerts for exit conditions
▪ Some Pattern Statistics are available on the chart in a panel
Simple Steps to set it up:
1 - Choose at least 1 pattern ( with-the-trend patterns are friendlier than the counter-trend ones)
2 - Choose at least 1 exit condition
3 - Set the alerts (1 for Entry and 1 for Exit, or 1 alert running for both Entry and Exit)
For Beginners:
For the new trader, the trend continuation patterns are easier to manage.
Newcomers should stick to trend-following patterns until they feel very confident!
Here are Three Entry Choices:
1 - Conservative -
Wait until the bar closes to enter - This is the easiest to execute.
2 - Conservative to Aggressive -
Woodie would like the beginner to enter the market if, with 20 seconds left in the bar, a valid CCI pattern presents itself.
3 - Very Aggressive -
Enter trade as soon as the bar indicates a signal during price bar formation. This is for experienced traders, as the signal conditions are final at the close of the bar and the intra-bar changes are not recorded.
Your implicit learned skills are put to the test here. Be fair to yourself and allow yourself time to grow and improve your skills.
You are strongly urged to follow the Option 2.
Money Management: Apply an Initial Protective Stop; Use Trade Exits; Study the past performance - Statistics (Strategy Tester Mode).
