ET's FlagsPurpose:
This Pine Script is designed for the TradingView platform to identify and visually highlight specific technical chart patterns known as "Bull Flags" and "Bear Flags" on financial charts. These patterns are significant in trading as they can indicate potential continuation trends after a brief consolidation. The script includes mechanisms to manage signal frequency through a cooldown period, ensuring that the trading signals are not excessively frequent and are easier to interpret.
Functionality:
Input Parameters:
flagpole_length: Defines the number of bars to consider when identifying the initial surge in price, known as the flagpole.
flag_length: Determines the number of bars over which the flag itself is identified, representing a period of consolidation.
percent_change: Sets the minimum percentage change required to validate the presence of a flagpole.
cooldown_period: Specifies the number of bars to wait before another flag can be identified, reducing the risk of overlapping signals.
Percentage Change Calculation:
The script calculates the percentage change between two price points using a helper function percentChange(start, end). This function is crucial for determining whether the price movement within the specified flagpole_length meets the threshold set by percent_change, thus qualifying as a potential flagpole.
Flagpole Identification:
Bull Flagpole: Identified by finding the lowest close price over the flagpole_length and determining if the subsequent price rise meets or exceeds the specified percent_change.
Bear Flagpole: Identified by finding the highest close price over the flagpole_length and checking if the subsequent price drop is sufficient as per the percent_change.
Flag Identification:
After identifying a flagpole, the script assesses if the price action within the next flag_length bars consolidates in a manner that fits a flag pattern. This involves checking if the price fluctuation stays within the bounds set by the percent_change.
Signal Plotting:
If a bull or bear flag pattern is confirmed, and the cooldown period has passed since the last flag of the same type was identified, the script plots a visual shape on the chart:
Green shapes below the price bar for Bull Flags.
Red shapes above the price bar for Bear Flags.
Line Drawing:
For enhanced visualization, the script draws lines at the high and low prices of the flag during its formation period. This visually represents the consolidation phase of the flag pattern.
Debugging Labels:
The script optionally displays labels at the flag formation points, showing the exact percentage change achieved during the flagpole formation. This feature aids users in understanding why a particular segment of the price chart was identified as a flag.
Compliance and Usage:
This script does not automate trading but provides visual aids and potential signals based on historical price analysis. It adheres to TradingView's scripting policies by only accessing publicly available price data and user-defined parameters without executing trades or accessing any external data.
Conclusion:
This Pine Script is a powerful tool for traders who follow technical analysis, offering a clear, automated way to spot potential continuation patterns in the markets they monitor. By emphasizing visual clarity and reducing signal redundancy through cooldown periods, the script enhances decision-making processes for chart analysis on TradingView.

Inside Bar Setup [as]Inside Bar Setup Indicator Description
The **Inside Bar Setup ** indicator is a powerful tool for traders to identify and visualize inside bar patterns on their charts. An inside bar pattern occurs when the current candle's high is lower than the previous candle's high, and the current candle's low is higher than the previous candle's low. This pattern can indicate a potential breakout or a continuation of the existing trend.
Key Features:
1. **Highlight Inside Bar Patterns:**
- The indicator highlights inside bar patterns with distinct colors for bullish and bearish bars. Bullish inside bars are colored with the user-defined bull bar color (default lime), and bearish inside bars are colored with the user-defined bear bar color (default maroon).
2. **Marking Mother Candle High and Low:**
- The high and low of the mother candle (the candle preceding the inside bar) are marked with horizontal lines. The high is marked with a green line, and the low is marked with a red line.
- These levels are labeled as "Range High" and "Range Low" respectively, with the labels displayed a few bars to the right for clarity. The labels have a semi-transparent background for better visibility.
3. **Target Levels:**
- The indicator calculates and plots potential target levels (T1 and T2) for both long and short positions based on user-defined multipliers of the mother candle's range.
- For long positions, T1 and T2 are plotted above the mother candle's high.
- For short positions, T1 and T2 are plotted below the mother candle's low.
- These target levels are optional and can be toggled on or off via the input settings.
4. **Customizable Inputs:**
- **Colors:**
- Bull Bar Color: Customize the color for bullish inside bars.
- Bear Bar Color: Customize the color for bearish inside bars.
- **Long Targets:**
- Show Long T1: Toggle the display of the first long target.
- Show Long T2: Toggle the display of the second long target.
- Long T1: Multiplier for the first long target above the mother candle's high.
- Long T2: Multiplier for the second long target above the mother candle's high.
- **Short Targets:**
- Show Short T1: Toggle the display of the first short target.
- Show Short T2: Toggle the display of the second short target.
- Short T1: Multiplier for the first short target below the mother candle's low.
- Short T2: Multiplier for the second short target below the mother candle's low.
5. **New Day Detection:**
- The indicator detects the start of a new day and clears the inside bar arrays, ensuring that the pattern detection is always current.
#### Usage:
- Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
- Customize the inputs to match your trading strategy.
- Watch for highlighted inside bars to identify potential breakout opportunities.

Use the signals and price levels in conjunction with your own trading strategy to make informed decisions.
JDT Support & Resistance LevelsJDT Support & Resistance Levels
This Pine Script indicator identifies and dynamically plots pivot-based support and resistance levels on your chart. Unlike traditional pivot point calculations, this script uses a user-defined lookback period to identify swing highs and lows, providing a more adaptable approach to identifying potential price reversal zones.
Originality
This script stands out due to its flexible approach to pivot identification. Instead of relying on fixed periods like daily, weekly, or monthly pivots, it allows users to customize the lookback period. This is particularly useful for traders who analyze different timeframes or markets, as the optimal lookback period may vary.
How it works
* Pivot Calculation: The script utilizes the ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions to identify swing highs and lows within the specified lookback period.
* Line Plotting: Horizontal lines are plotted at these pivot levels, extending to the right edge of the chart.
* Dynamic Updates: As new swing highs and lows form, the lines automatically update, ensuring the levels remain relevant to the current price action.
How to use it
* Add the script to your chart.
* Adjust the "Lookback Period" input parameter. A higher value will result in fewer but more significant levels, while a lower value will produce more frequent but potentially less reliable levels.
* Use the levels to identify potential support and resistance zones. Observe how price interacts with these levels. A break above a resistance level could signal a bullish move, while a break below a support level could indicate a bearish move.
Additional Considerations
* This script is most effective when used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators.
* The accuracy of the levels depends on the chosen lookback period and the specific market conditions.
* Always backtest your strategies before implementing them in live trading.

Engulfing with Fibonacci LevelsIndicator Explanation
The indicator identifies bullish and bearish engulfing patterns and plots Fibonacci levels based on these patterns. Here's a detailed explanation of the script:
1. Bullish Engulfing Pattern
A bullish engulfing pattern is identified when:
- The previous candle is bearish (`close < open `).
- The current candle is bullish (`close > open`).
- The low of the current candle is lower than the low of the previous candle (`low < low `).
- The current candle's close is higher than the previous candle's open (`close > open `).
When a bullish engulfing pattern is identified:
- Fibonacci levels are plotted from the low (0%) to the high (100%) of the bullish candle.
- A green dot is plotted below the bullish candle to indicate a buy signal.
2. Bearish Engulfing Pattern
A bearish engulfing pattern is identified when:
- The previous candle is bullish (`close > open `).
- The current candle is bearish (`close < open`).
- The high of the current candle is higher than the high of the previous candle (`high > high `).
- The current candle's close is lower than the previous candle's open (`close < open `).
When a bearish engulfing pattern is identified:
- Fibonacci levels are plotted from the high (0%) to the low (100%) of the bearish candle.
- A red dot is plotted above the bearish candle to indicate a sell signal.
3. Plotting Fibonacci Levels
For both bullish and bearish patterns, Fibonacci levels are plotted at:
- 0% (high for bullish, low for bearish)
- 50%
- 61.8%
- 79%
- 100% (low for bullish, high for bearish)
Smart Money Concept (SMC) Explanation
Bearish Signal
In the context of Smart Money Concepts (SMC), a bearish engulfing pattern can indicate:
- **Buy Side Liquidity Grab**: The high of the current bearish candle goes above the high of the previous bullish candle, potentially grabbing buy-side liquidity (stop losses of short positions or buy stops).
- **Break of Structure (BoS)**: The close of the bearish candle below the open of the previous bullish candle indicates a shift in market structure.
After identifying this bearish engulfing pattern, a smart money trader might:
1. Wait for the market to retrace 50% of the bearish candle.
2. Enter a sell trade around the 50% retracement level, anticipating a continuation of the downward move.
#### Bullish Signal
Similarly, a bullish engulfing pattern can indicate:
- **Sell Side Liquidity Grab**: The low of the current bullish candle goes below the low of the previous bearish candle, potentially grabbing sell-side liquidity (stop losses of long positions or sell stops).
- **Break of Structure (BoS)**: The close of the bullish candle above the open of the previous bearish candle indicates a shift in market structure.
After identifying this bullish engulfing pattern, a smart money trader might:
1. Wait for the market to retrace 50% of the bullish candle.
2. Enter a buy trade around the 50% retracement level, anticipating a continuation of the upward move.
The indicator helps traders identify key engulfing patterns that align with smart money concepts of liquidity grabs and breaks of structure. By plotting Fibonacci levels, it visually aids traders in waiting for optimal retracement levels (50%) to enter trades in the direction of the anticipated move. This approach leverages the idea that significant market participants often seek liquidity and cause structural shifts, providing entry opportunities for informed traders.
QTY@RISK VWAP based calculationVWAP Volatility-Based Risk Management Calculator for Intraday Trading
Overview
This script is an innovative tool designed to help traders manage risk effectively by calculating position sizes and stop-loss levels using the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and its standard deviation (StdDev). Unlike traditional methods that rely on time-based calculations, this approach is time-independent within the intraday timeframe, making it particularly useful for traders seeking precision and efficiency.
Key Concepts
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price): VWAP is a trading benchmark that represents the average price a security has traded at throughout the day, based on both volume and price. It provides insight into the average price level over a specific period, helping traders understand the market trend.
StdDev (Standard Deviation): In the context of VWAP, the standard deviation measures the volatility around the VWAP. It provides a quantifiable range that traders can use to set stop-loss levels, ensuring they are neither too tight nor too loose.
How the Script Works
1. VWAP Calculation: The script calculates the VWAP continuously as the market trades, integrating both price and volume data.
2. Volatility Measurement: It then computes the standard deviation of the VWAP, giving a measure of market volatility.
3. Stop-Loss Calculation: Using user-defined StdDev factors, the script calculates two stop-loss levels. These levels adjust dynamically based on market conditions, ensuring they remain relevant throughout the trading session.
4. Position Sizing: By incorporating your risk tolerance, the script determines the appropriate position size. This ensures that your maximum loss per trade does not exceed your predefined risk value.
How to Use the Calculator
1. Select Two VWAP StdDev Factors: Choose two standard deviation factors for calculating stop-loss levels. For example, you might choose 0.5 and 0.75 to set conservative and aggressive stop-losses respectively.
2. Set Your Trading Account Size: Enter your total trading capital. For example, $50,000.
3. Maximum Lot Size: Define the maximum number of shares you are willing to trade in a single position. For instance, 200 shares.
4. Risk Value per Trade: Input the maximum amount of money you are willing to risk on a single trade. For instance, $50.
5. Plotting Options: If you wish to visualize the stop-loss levels, enable the plot option and choose the price base for the plot, such as the closing price or the average of the high and low prices (hl2).
Example of Use
1. Initial Setup: After the market opens, wait for at least 15 minutes to ensure the VWAP has stabilized with sufficient volume data.
2. Parameter Configuration: Input your desired parameters into the calculator. For instance:
- VWAP StdDev Factors: 0.5 and 0.75
- Trading Account Size: $50,000
- Maximum Lot Size: 200 shares
- Risk Value per Trade: $50
- Plot Option: On, using "hl2" or "close" as the price base
3. Execution: Based on the inputs, the script calculates the position size and stop-loss levels. If the calculated stop-loss falls within the selected VWAP StdDev range, it will provide you with precise stop-loss prices.
4. Trading: Use the calculated position size and stop-loss levels to execute your trades confidently, knowing that your risk is managed effectively.
Advantages for Traders
- Time Independence: By relying on VWAP and its StdDev, the calculations are not dependent on specific time intervals, making them more adaptable to real-time trading conditions.
- Focus on Strategy: Novice traders can focus more on their trading strategies rather than getting bogged down with complex calculations.
- Dynamic Adjustments: The script adjusts stop-loss levels dynamically based on evolving market conditions, providing more accurate and relevant risk management.
- Flexibility: Traders can tailor the calculator to their risk preferences and trading style by adjusting the StdDev factors and risk parameters.
By incorporating these concepts and using this risk management calculator, traders can enhance their trading efficiency, improve their risk management, and ultimately make more informed trading decisions.
Prometheus Polarized Fractal Efficiency (PFE)This indicator uses market data to calculate Polarized Fractal Efficiency (PFE) on an asset, so traders can have a better idea of which direction it may go.
Users can control the lookback length for the fractal calculation, the lookback length for the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and whether or not to display lines at the -50 and 50 level, or -25 and 25 level.
Polarized Fractal Efficiency:
The Polarized Fractal Efficiency (PFE) indicator is a value between -100 and 100 with 0 as a midpoint.
A PFE above 0 indicates the asset may trend higher, a PFE below 0 indicates the asset may trend lower.
There are many ways to trade with PFE, the intuitive trend riding as described above, or reversals.
Even when the PFE is above 0, if it gets high enough, it may also be an indication of a reversal. A PFE of 90 - 100, or -100 - -90, may indicate price is ready to revert the other direction. Furthermore, traders already in a position may look to breaks of other levels to be their take profit or stop out spot.
Calculation:
Pi = 100 x (Price - Price )2 + N2 / Summation, j= 0, to N-2 (Price - Price )2 + 1
If Close < Close Pi = -Pi
PFEi = EMA(Pi, M)
Where:
N = period of indicator
M = smoothing period
Citation: www.investopedia.com
Scenarios:
Inputs are (9, 5) and every display option is on.
Trend example
Step 1: A short trade appears as PFE crosses below -25. We reach a safe take profit as PFE crosses below -50. Traders can use these levels to exit as well as enter.
Step 2: On the cross above 25 there is a safe long. As the PFE value breaks 0 a safe, early take profit could be appropriate for this trade. No guarantee we would see 50.
Step 3: Long scenario at break of 25, straight to 50. Simple, straightforward setup.
Step 4: This long results in a stop loss. Once again entry as PFE crosses 25, but as we cross the 0 line it is for a loss.
Step 5: The last trade in this example is reminiscent of step 3. This is a short trade entry at break of 25 and exit at break of 50.
Traders have liberty to use the PFE value to determine spots to enter and exit trades, long or short. 25 and 50 were chosen arbitrarily, values like 10 and 60 may work as well, we encourage traders to use their own discretion along with tools.
Reversal example
Step 1: PFE is around -100, crossing below it at one point! Strong zone for a potential reversal.
Step 2: PFE crosses above 25 adding conviction.
Step 3: Option to exit at 70.
Step 4: Option to exit at 90.
There is no “one size fits all method”, this approach may be more intuitive for some users and is just as feasible as the first.
Longer trend example
Step 1: Using -50 and 50 this time instead of -25 and 25 to be safer on our entries we see a short here. Was a good entry and as the value gets closer to -70 we can safely close.
Step 2: On this candle we see a long for the break of 50. On the next candle we break the 0 line, but because of our safe entry at 50, we could hold this and only stop out at a break of -25. We get close but stay in it and close at 70.
Step 3: Break of 50 for a long once again. This time the break of 0 line occurs as we are in profit, not letting a green trade go red is a golden rule of trading, so an early exit here.
Step 4: Same at step 2, break of 50 to long and stay in it, not stopping out at break of 0 line. The PFE value eventually reaches 70 and there is a good exit.
Quicker Reversal example
Step 1: Notice a close with PFE below -90, enter long for the reversal. Then close for profit when the PFE crosses above 70.
Step 2: When the PFE breaks above 90 we have a short entry. Like the long closing it when it crosses below -70.
Step 3: This step is the same setup as step 2. As PFE breaks above 90 we have a short entry. Closing it when it crosses below -70.
Recap:
Described above are 4 different examples with many different trades. Both trend and reversal trades. The PFE value is an indicator that can be used by traders in many different ways and Prometheus encourages traders to use their own discretion along with tools and not follow indicators blindly.
Options:
Users can control the input for the lookback of the indicator. The default is 9.
The smoothing factor for the EMA is also changeable, default is 5.
Users have options to display lines at -50, -25, 25, and 50.
Support and Resistance Breakouts By RICHIESupport and resistance are fundamental concepts in technical analysis used to identify price levels on charts that act as barriers, preventing the price of an asset from getting pushed in a certain direction. Here’s a detailed description of each and how breakout strategies are typically used:
Support
Support is a price level where a downtrend can be expected to pause due to a concentration of demand. As the price of an asset drops, it hits a level where buyers tend to step in, causing the price to rebound.
Support Level Identification: Support levels are identified by looking at historical data where prices have repeatedly fallen to a certain level but have then rebounded.
Strength of Support: The more times an asset price hits a support level without breaking below it, the stronger that support level is considered to be.
Resistance
Resistance is a price level where an uptrend can be expected to pause due to a concentration of selling interest. As the price of an asset increases, it hits a level where sellers tend to step in, causing the price to drop.
Resistance Level Identification: Resistance levels are identified by looking at historical data where prices have repeatedly risen to a certain level but have then fallen back.
Strength of Resistance: The more times an asset price hits a resistance level without breaking above it, the stronger that resistance level is considered to be.
Breakouts
A breakout occurs when the price moves above a resistance level or below a support level with increased volume. Breakouts can be significant because they suggest a change in supply and demand dynamics, often leading to strong price movements.
Breakout Above Resistance: Indicates a bullish market sentiment. Traders often interpret this as a sign to enter a long position (buy).
Breakout Below Support: Indicates a bearish market sentiment. Traders often interpret this as a sign to enter a short position (sell).
Breakout Trading Strategies
Confirmation: Wait for a candle to close beyond the support or resistance level to confirm the breakout.
Volume: Increased volume on a breakout adds credibility, suggesting that the price move is supported by strong buying or selling interest.
Retest: Sometimes, after a breakout, the price will return to the breakout level to test it as a new support or resistance. This retest offers another entry point.
Stop-Loss: Place stop-loss orders just below the resistance (for long positions) or above the support (for short positions) to limit potential losses in case of a false breakout.
Take-Profit: Identify target levels for taking profits. These can be set based on previous support/resistance levels or using tools like Fibonacci retracements.

Strong Support and Resistance with EMAs @viniciushadek
### Strategy for Using Continuity Points with 20 and 9 Period Exponential Moving Averages, and Support and Resistance
This strategy involves using two exponential moving averages (EMA) - one with a 20-period and another with a 9-period - along with identifying support and resistance levels on the chart. Combining these tools can help determine trend continuation points and potential entry and exit points in market operations.
### 1. Setting Up the Exponential Moving Averages
- **20-Period EMA**: This moving average provides a medium-term trend view. It helps smooth out price fluctuations and identify the overall market direction.
- **9-Period EMA**: This moving average is more sensitive and reacts more quickly to price changes, providing short-term signals.
### 2. Identifying Support and Resistance
- **Support**: Price levels where demand is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further. These levels are identified based on previous lows.
- **Resistance**: Price levels where supply is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further. These levels are identified based on previous highs.
### 3. Continuity Points
The strategy focuses on identifying trend continuation points using the interaction between the EMAs and the support and resistance levels.
### 4. Buy Signals
- When the 9-period EMA crosses above the 20-period EMA.
- Confirm the entry if the price is near a support level or breaking through a resistance level.
### 5. Sell Signals
- When the 9-period EMA crosses below the 20-period EMA.
- Confirm the exit if the price is near a resistance level or breaking through a support level.
### 6. Risk Management
- Use appropriate stops below identified supports for buy operations.
- Use appropriate stops above identified resistances for sell operations.
### 7. Validating the Trend
- Check if the trend is validated by other technical indicators, such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) or Volume.
### Conclusion
This strategy uses the combination of exponential moving averages and support and resistance levels to identify continuity points in the market trend. It is crucial to confirm the signals with other technical analysis tools and maintain proper risk management to maximize results and minimize losses.
Implementing this approach can provide a clearer view of market movements and help make more informed trading decisions.
Prometheus Analytics Hurst ExponentThis indicator uses market data to calculate the Hurst Exponent so traders can have knowledge of the long memory of the asset.
Users can control the lookback length for the H value (Hurst Exponent), lookback length for the SMA (Simple Moving Average) of the Hurst Exponent, to show either, and what to calculate the H value and SMA on.
Hurst Exponent:
The Hurst Exponent is a value between 0 and 1 with 0.5 as a midline.
An H value(Hurst Exponent) above 0.5 indicates a trending market, and a market that should have larger, longer moves.
An H value below 0.5 indicates a mean reverting market, and a market that should have smaller, shorter moves.
An H value of0.5 indicates a random walk. This would mean the price would follow a Brownian Motion model and future prices would be independent from past prices.
Just because the H value is above 0.5 does not indicate that there should be an UP trend, just as a value below 0.5 does not indicate a DOWN trend. It indicates that there should be a trend, up or down.
Scenarios:
An intuitive way to use the Hurst Exponent is as an asset is trending in whatever direction, as the H value crosses below 0.5 it indicates a reversal. It indicates that what was happening before isn’t impacting what is happening now as much.
Steps explained from picture:
Step 1: Strong uptrend is identified with the asset moving up aggressively with H above 0.5.
Step 2: The H value crosses below 0.5 and prices stay elevated.
Step 3: Price reverts back down as the H value stays below 0.5
Just because the H value is above 0.5 doesn’t mean the asset has to be uptrending. In this example we see the asset fall as the H value is above 0.5. Not only that, but every time it crosses below 0.5, the asset takes a breather on the way down
Step 1: As the H value crosses above 0.5, we can expect trends to appear in the asset.
Step 2: After the trend switches to down, we only see a breather and some chop after the H value crosses back below 0.5.
Step 3: Once The H value crosses back over we see the downtrend continue and new lows be made.
Step 4: We see it once again, simply the area of chop is bigger. We don’t see a higher high, breaking the overall downtrend, but once the H value crosses over again the downturn continues and we see a lower low.
It may occur when no strong trend is made in either direction. The H value above 0.5 does indeed sometimes correlate with an uptrend sometimes.
Step 1: After the strong downtrend we see a break below 0.5 with some consolidation.
Step 2: No clear big move on the asset or H value.
Step 3: H value above 0.5 leads to a break of highs and a new uptrend.
Users have the option to decide what to calculate the H value on. Close is the default, or dollar return per bar are the options. Dollar return per bar and offer an H value that may give a better indication of when price moves will be small and sporadic.
Using dollar move per bar.
Step 1: H value cross above 0.5, we see large candles and fast moves.
Step 2: H value crosses below 0.5, the candles immediately following are shorter. The big red candles come right before the cross back above.
Step 3: H value cross back above 0.5, after some chop, large move down.
Similar story
Step 1: H value above 0.5, big trends either direction
Step 2: After the H value crosses below, the moves are short and choppy.
Settings:
Options to show or remove either the H value or it’s SMA.
Options to adjust the period uses, default is (32, 16)
Fresh Zones The indicator is named "Fresh Zones"
Bullish Fresh Zone:
- This part looks for a specific pattern in the price movement that indicates a potential bullish (upward) trend.
- It checks if the current bar's low price is higher than the previous bar's opening price.
- It also checks if the previous bar's closing price was higher than its opening price.
- Additionally, it checks if the bar before the previous one had a closing price lower than its opening price.
- If all these conditions are met, it identifies a bullish fresh zone.
Bearish Fresh Zone:
- This part looks for a specific pattern in the price movement that indicates a potential bearish (downward) trend.
- It checks if the current bar's high price is lower than the previous bar's opening price.
- It also checks if the previous bar's closing price was lower than its opening price.
- Additionally, it checks if the bar before the previous one had a closing price higher than its opening price.
- If all these conditions are met, it identifies a bearish fresh zone.
Color Coding:
- When a bullish fresh zone is identified, it colors the candlestick from two bars ago with a specific yellowish color (`color.rgb(240, 243, 33)`).
- When a bearish fresh zone is identified, it colors the candlestick from two bars ago with a specific pink color (`color.rgb(255, 0, 191)`).
Alert:
- The script creates an alert condition.
- If either a bullish or bearish fresh zone pattern appears, it triggers an alert with the message "A Fresh zone has appeared!".
ADR Study [TFO]This indicator is focused on the Average Daily Range (ADR), with the goal of collecting data to show how often price reaches/closes through these levels, as well as a look at historical moves that reached ADR and at similar times of day to study how price moved for the remainder of the session.
The ADR here (blue line) is calculated using the difference between a day's highest and lowest points. If our ADR length is 5, then we are taking this difference from the last 5 days and averaging them together. At the following day's open, we take half of this average and plot it above and below the daily opening price to place theoretical limits on how far price may move according to the lookback period. The triangles indicate when price has reached ADR (either +ADR or -ADR), and alerts can be created for these events.
The Scale Factor is an optional parameter to scale the ADR by a certain amount. If set to 2 for example, then the ADR would be 2x the average daily range. This value will be reflected in the statistics options so that users can see how different values affect the outcomes.
Show Table will display data collected on how often price reaches these levels, and how often price closes through them, for each day of the week. By default, these are colored as blue and red, respectively. From the following chart of NQ1!, we can see for example that on Mondays, price reached +ADR 38% of the time and closed through it 23% of the time. Note that the statistics for closing through the ADR levels are derived from all instances, not just those that reached ADR.
Show Sample Sizes will display how many instances were collected for all given sets of data. Referring to the same example of NQ1!, we can see that this particular chart has collected data from 109 Mondays. From those Mondays, 41 reached +ADR (38%, verifying our initial claim) and 25 closed through it (23%). This is important to understand the scope of the data that we're working with, as percentages can be misleading for smaller sample sizes.
Show Histogram will plot the same exact data as the table, just in a histogram form to visually emphasize the differences on a day-by-day basis. On this chart of RTY1!, we can see for example from the top histogram that on Wednesdays, 40% reached +ADR and only 22% closed through it. Similarly if we look at the bottom histogram, we can see that Wednesdays reached -ADR 46% of the time and closed through it only 28% of the time.
We can also use Show Sample Sizes to display the same information that would be in the table, showing how many instances were collected for each event. In this case we can see that we observed 175 Fridays, where 76 reached +ADR (43%) and 44 closed above it (25%).
Show Historical Moves is an interesting feature of this script. When enabled, if price has reached +/- ADR in the current session, the indicator will plot the evolution of the close prices from all past sessions that reached +/- ADR to see how they traded for the remainder of the session. These calculations are made with respect to the ADR range at the time that price traded through these levels.
Historical Proximity (Bars) allows the user to observe historical moves where price reached ADR within this many bars of the current session (assuming price has reached an ADR level in the current session). In the above chart, this is set to 1000 so that we can observe each and every instance where price reached an ADR level. However, we can refine this a bit more.
By limiting the Historical Proximity to something like 20, we are only considering historical moves that reached ADR within 20 bars of todays +ADR reach (9:50 am EST, noted by the blue triangle up). We can enable Show Average Move to display the average move by the filtered dataset, and Match +/-ADR to only observe moves inline with the current day's price action (in this case, only moves that reached +ADR, since price has not reached -ADR).
We can add one more filter to this data with the setting Only Show Days That: closed through ADR; closed within ADR; or either. The option either is what you see above, as we are considering both days that closed through ADR and days that closed within it (note that in this case, closing within ADR simply means that price reached +ADR and closed the day below it, and vice versa for -ADR; this does not mean that price must have closed in between +ADR and -ADR). If we set this to only show instances that closed within ADR, we see the following data.
Alternatively, we can choose to Only Show Days That closed through ADR, where we would see the following data. In this case, the average move very much resembles the price action that occurred on this particular day. This is in no way guaranteed, but it makes an interesting case for how we could use this data in our analysis by observing similar, historical price action.
Please note that this data will change over time on a rolling basis due to TradingView's bar lookback, and that for this same reason, lower timeframes will yield less data than larger timeframes.
Three Bar ReversalThis script was written to make it easier to discover three bar reversal patterns.
A three bar reversal occurs when these conditions are met:
Long Setup (Reversal Up)
1. Bar 1 closes down
2. Low of Bar 2 is below the low of Bar 1 and Bar 3
3. Bar 3 closes above the high of both Bar 1 and Bar 2
Short Setup (Reversal Down)
1. Bar 1 closes up
2. High of Bar 2 is above the high of Bar 1 and Bar 3
3. Bar 3 closes below the low of both Bar 1 and Bar 2
When this indicator is added to your chart, you will see "Reversal Up" or "Reversal Down" when one of the above conditions are met.
It is recommended to use the 1 minute time frame for short scalps and 5 minute time frame for longer held day trade positions.
This indicator also has an alert option.
To enable an alert:
1. Create a new alert
2. Set condition "Reversal" and "Any alert() function call"
3. Give the alert a unique name
It is good to have an alert for different tickers and different time frames!
When the alert is triggered, you will receive a message:
Reversal up on: ticker-ID-here
or
Reversal down on: ticker-ID-here
Never miss a trade setup again!

Quick Guide to Using the Swing Failure Zones and Signals Indicator
🛠 Add the Indicator : Search for "Swing Failure Zones and Signals " in TradingView's Indicators & Strategies. Customize settings like lookback period, colors, and zone removal options to fit your trading style.
📊 Market Analysis : Watch for the appearance of the zones and the directional arrows for potential reversal signals. Use these signals to identify key market entries and exits.
🔔 Alerts : Enable alerts for bullish and bearish swing failure conditions to capture trading opportunities without constant chart monitoring.
How it works
The indicator calculates the direction and length of each candle to identify swing failure points by comparing current high and low prices with those from the lookback period. A bullish swing failure is detected when the current low is lower than the previous low and the close is higher than the previous high, while a bearish swing failure occurs when the current high is higher than the previous high and the close is lower than the previous low. Upon detection, the script creates zones on the chart to indicate these failure points and manages them by removing invalidated zones based on the user's settings. Visual signals are plotted on the chart as arrows, and alerts are set for these conditions to help traders capture potential entry opportunities efficiently.
Enhance your trading edge with this robust tool designed to spotlight critical swing failure points in the market! 💪📈
Pre-COVID High and COVID LowOverview
The "Pre-COVID High and COVID Low" indicator is designed to identify and mark significant price levels on your chart, specifically targeting the pre-COVID-19 high and the low during the initial COVID-19 market impact. This script is particularly useful for traders who are interested in analyzing how stocks or other financial instruments reacted during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, providing a historical perspective that may help in making informed trading decisions.
How It Works
Date Ranges : The script uses predefined date ranges to calculate the highest and lowest price levels before and during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. These ranges are:
Pre-COVID High: Between January 1, 2020, and March 31, 2020.
COVID Low: Between March 1, 2020, and March 31, 2020.
Calculation Method :
The highest price during the pre-COVID period is tracked and recorded as the "Pre-COVID High".
The lowest price during the specified COVID period is tracked and recorded as the "COVID Low".
Visibility Conditions : The script includes logic to ensure that these historical levels are only displayed if they fall within a range close to the current visible price range on the chart. This prevents the indicator from compressing the price scale unduly.
How to Use It
Adding to Your Char t: To use this indicator, add it to any chart on TradingView. It works best with daily time frames to clearly visualize the impact over these specific months.
Interpretation :
The "Pre-COVID High" is marked with a red line and is labeled the first day it becomes applicable.
The "COVID Low" is marked with a green line and is similarly labeled on its applicable day.
Trading Strategy Consideration : Traders can use these historical levels as potential support or resistance zones for their trading strategies. These levels can indicate significant price points where the market previously showed strong reactions.
No Wick Candlestick Identifier_GOVS1. Identification of Candlestick Patterns: The script checks each candlestick to determine if it meets the criteria for a "no wick" pattern. For bullish candles, it identifies those with no bottom wick, where the open price is equal to the low and the close price is greater than the open. For bearish candles, it identifies those with no top wick, where the open price is equal to the high and the close price is lower than the open.
2. Visualization: The script plots small triangles on the chart to highlight the identified candlestick patterns. Green triangles are plotted below bullish candles with no bottom wick, while red triangles are plotted above bearish candles with no top wick.
3. Drawing Lines and Labels: Additionally, the script draws lines extending from the opening price of these candles to the right edge of the screen, visually indicating the duration of these patterns. It also adds a label "Compensation" next to each line.
Percentage GridPercentage Grid Indicator
Description:
The Percentage Grid indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying significant support and resistance levels based on yearly percentage changes. This indicator plots horizontal lines on the chart from the start of the year, allowing you to customize how much percentage each line represents. Currently, you can set up to 5 horizontal lines, each representing a different percentage change from the beginning of the year.
For instance, when applied to the SBI Bank stock, you can customize the lines to display various percentage changes from the start of the year, such as 20%, 25%, and up to 35%, as the SBIN stock is currently trading around these levels. This visualization helps traders to easily identify key levels where price action tends to react, providing valuable insights for making trading decisions.
Principles of Trading Technical Analysis:
The Percentage Grid indicator is grounded in the principle of support and resistance levels, which are fundamental concepts in technical analysis. These levels are specific price points on a chart that tend to act as barriers, preventing the price from getting pushed in a certain direction. The indicator helps in:
Identifying Support Levels: Price levels where a downtrend can be expected to pause due to a concentration of buying interest.
Identifying Resistance Levels: Price levels where an uptrend can be expected to pause due to a concentration of selling interest.
By customizing and plotting percentage-based horizontal lines, the indicator highlights these critical levels based on the percentage change from the start of the year.
How to Use:
Add the Indicator to Your Chart:
Search for "Percentage Grid" in the TradingView indicator library and add it to your chart.
Customize Percentage Levels:
Access the indicator settings to customize the percentage change each line represents.
You can set up to 5 different percentage levels. For example, you can set lines at 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, and 40%.
Interpret the Grid Lines:
The plotted lines will represent the specified percentage changes from the start of the year.
Use these lines to identify potential support and resistance levels where price action is likely to react.
Practical Application:
Look for price bounces or reversals around these levels, which can indicate strong support or resistance.
Combine the Percentage Grid with other technical analysis tools, such as moving averages or trend lines, to confirm potential trading opportunities.
Example:
In the accompanying screenshot, the Percentage Grid is applied to the SBI Bank stock. The lines are set to display 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, and 40% changes from the start of the year. Notice how the price action respects these levels, providing clear areas where support and resistance are evident.
By incorporating the Percentage Grid into your trading strategy, you can enhance your ability to identify key price levels and make more informed trading decisions.
Happy Trading!
Gap Finder by DarkoexeThis indicator plots labels that indicate gaps whenever the open price and the previous bar close price have a significant gap.
To determine the size the gap has to be before it is labeled at a specific point in time on the chart. The gap needs to be larger or equal to a factor of an ATR value. For example, if the ATR gap factor is 0.25, the gap between the open and the previous close price must be greater than 0.25*ATR of the ATR length specified for the gap to be plotted on the chart.
Note: If you don't know what the ATR or average true range is, search for "ATR" in indicators. It is one of Trading View's most fundamental indicators.

By setting the S&P 500 as the reference market, the NASDAQ 100 as the third market, and observing the current market (Apple), you can see how these instruments move in relation to each other. This can help you decide on hedging strategies or identify opportunities for diversification. However this is Not a Financial advise
Normalized Performance ComparisonThis script visualizes the relative performance of a primary asset against a benchmark composed of three reference assets. Here's how it works:
User Inputs:
- Users specify ticker symbols for three reference assets (default: Platinum, Palladium, Rhodium).
Data Retrieval:
- Fetches closing prices for the primary asset (the one the script is applied to) and the three reference assets.
Normalization:
- Each asset's price is normalized by dividing its current price by its initial price at the start of the chart. This allows for performance comparison on a common scale.
Benchmark Creation:
- The normalized prices of the three reference assets are combined to create a composite benchmark.
Ratio Calculation:
- Computes the ratio of the normalized primary asset price to the combined normalized benchmark price, highlighting relative performance.
Plotting:
- Plots this ratio as a blue line on the chart, showing the primary asset's performance relative to the benchmark over time.
This script helps users quickly assess how well the primary asset is performing compared to a set of reference assets.
ATH/ATL Tracker [LuxAlgo]The ATH/ATL Tracker effectively displays changes made between new All-Time Highs (ATH)/All-Time Lows (ATL) and their previous respective values, over the entire history of available data.
The indicator shows a histogram of the change between a new ATH/ATL and its respective preceding ATH/ATL. A tooltip showing the price made during a new ATH/ATL alongside its date is included.
🔶 USAGE
By tracking the change between new ATHs/ATLs and older ATHs/ATLs, traders can gain insight into market sentiment, breadth, and rotation.
If many stocks are consistently setting new ATHs and the number of new ATHs is increasing relative to old ATHs, it could indicate broad market participation in a rally. If only a few stocks are reaching new ATHs or the number is declining, it might signal that the market's upward momentum is decreasing.
A significant increase in new ATHs suggests optimism and willingness among investors to buy at higher prices, which could be considered a positive sentiment. On the other hand, a decrease or lack of new ATHs might indicate caution or pessimism.
By observing the sectors where stocks are consistently setting new ATHs, users can identify which sectors are leading the market. Sectors with few or no new ATHs may be losing momentum and could be identified as lagging behind the overall market sentiment.
🔶 DETAILS
The indicator's main display is a histogram-style readout that displays the change in price from older ATH/ATLs to Newer/Current ATH/ATLs. This change is determined by the distance that the current values have overtaken the previous values, resulting in the displayed data.
The largest changes in ATH/ATLs from the ticker's history will appear as the largest bars in the display.
The most recent bars (depending on the selected display setting) will always represent the current ATH or ATL values.
When determining ATH & ATL values, it is important to filter out insignificant highs and lows that may happen constantly when exploring higher and lower prices. To combat this, the indicator looks to a higher timeframe than your chart's timeframe in order to determine these more significant ATHs & ATLs.
For Example: If a user was on a 1-minute chart and 5 highs-new highs occur across 5 adjacent bars, this has the potential to show up as 5 new ATHs. When looking at a higher timeframe, 5 minutes, only the highest of the 5 bars will indicate a new ATH. To assist with this, the indicator will display warnings in the dashboard when a suboptimal timeframe is selected as input.
🔹 Dashboard
The dashboard displays averages from the ATH/ATL data to aid in the anticipation and expectations for new ATH/ATLs.
The average duration is an average of the time between each new ATH/ATL, in this indicator it is calculated in "Days" to provide a more comprehensive understanding.
The average change is the average of all change data displayed in the histogram.
🔶 SETTINGS
Duration: The designated higher timeframe to use for filtering out insignificant ATHs & ATLs.
Order: The display order for the ATH/ATL Bars, Options are to display in chronological (oldest to newest) or reverse chronological order (newest to oldest).
Bar Width: Sets the width for each ATH/ATL bar.
Bar Spacing: Sets the # of empty bars in between each ATH/ATL bar.
Dashboard Settings: Parameters for the dashboard's size and location on the chart.
