Linton Price Targets(R)Linton Price Targets
A groundbreaking new way of projecting price targets and when they will be met in the future.
Point and figure charts have largely fallen out of favour in recent decades with the birth of personal computing and electronic data services. Few software systems calculate them correctly, and the technique is seen as outdated and difficult for the newcomer to technical analysis to understand. Linton Price Targets takes the point and figure methodology for producing vertical count targets and applies them to time-based charts that are much more widely used for technical analysis.
To place Point and figure price targets on a time-based chart, we first need to relate the conditions that produce the vertical count targets. Vertical Targets are only generated with uninterrupted moves off a high or a low point in prices. A pullback of at least 3 boxes locks the thrust column and therefore the price target. A move of at least one box above (in the case of an upside target off a low) or one box below (downside off a high) ‘activates’ the price target. Here the buyers and sellers respectively are confirmed. Conversely a move below the base of an upside target column, or above the top of a downside column ‘negates’ the vertical target. In this case, the buyers and sellers have been superseded by subsequent events.
Projecting Price
The price projection following the point and figure 3-Box method is relatively straightforward. The standard projection used is twice the original move from the top of the initial thrust level. This derives from the 3-Box construction devised by Cohen, whereby the initial thrust count is a third of the overall price count projection. But there is no reason to limit the Target Price Factor to the value to 2. A value of 1 could be used in the case of consolidation patten where the move out of the pattern is roughly equivalent to the move into the pattern. A value of 1.618 could be used for Fibonacci Retracements or Extensions or a value of 2 x log, can be used to deal with increasing box (unit) sizes as price changes.
Projecting Time
Projecting a potential price target with is relatively straight forward. Determining a time in the future when such a price target will be met is more of a challenge. This has been seen as one of the major drawbacks of point and figure charts for decades. Because there is no time axis on a Point and figure chart, there is no saying when a count projection target will be met.
For the Time to Target, we need to consider potential methodologies such as:
1. Price to Time Ratio – t units of price for every x units of time – ie $1 every 2 days
2. Thrust Angle Factor – a factor x the initial trust angle for the target angle
3. Time to Activation Factor – time to target is x the time taken for a target to activate
4. Follow the Price – track prices as the progress to target and adjust time to target accordingly
5. Historical Average Slope – historical average price time average for last n targets
Considering the Price to Time Ratio method, Chart 1 below shows a chart of the price targets for the US stock Applied Materials with a Unit size of $1. The targets are projected Log Scale 2x the initial thrust. From this chart we see that the target prices are reached later than the projection predicted. This means that we need to consider a lesser slope. Chart 2 below shows the same chart with the slope now adjusted to $1 every three days. This chart shows that recent targets for Applied Materials have been approximately met with this slope. Therefore, this is a better slope to use in this instance.
Chart 1 - Applied Materials (unit size $1) - target projection slope $1 every 2 days
Chart 2 - Applied Materials (unit size $1) - target projection slope $1 every 3 days
Chart 3 - Applied Materials (unit size $1) - target projection slope 1/2 initial thrust slope
The second method of projecting price targets assumes the time that a price target will be reached is directly related to the speed of the initial thrust, which generates the target. Chart 3 shows the same security as in the previous examples but using this method with an angle of slope which is half the initial thrust angle. The factor can also be altered with this method to best fit the data. In the previous examples (Charts 1 & 2) we see the slope of each of the targets is constant. Using the Thrust Angle Factor method, different buying and selling thrust angles produces different target slopes.
A third possible projection method assumes that the longer a price target takes to activate, the longer it takes for a target to be reached. The argument goes that the pullback from the initial thrust is more of a consolidation phase rather than a sharp reaction and therefore, the potential overall move will take longer. Chart 4 shows this method. Again, we see that, due to the varying times of price targets to activate, the slopes of the targets are not uniform as in Method 1 which uses a consistent price to time slope.
Chart 4: Applied Materials (unit size $1) – target projection x times the time taken for target to activate.
Chart 5: Applied Materials (unit size $1) – target projection readjusts with new price information
A fourth method for predicting when in the future that a price target might be met adjusts the slope of the targets from the activation point as new price information arrives. With multiple targets activated at different points on the chart, this method also produces price targets of different slopes. Because targets are readjusted with every new price, it is best to set this method to ignore the last x bars in order to spot any divergence from the targets. Chart 5 shows this methodology.
Chart 6 shows a method where the average slope of price over time is taken for the previous n targets that are achieved and used as the slope for projecting targets into the future. While the slopes for upward and downward targets can be separately adjusted with the previous methods mentioned, this method automatically calculates the different slope speeds of upside and downside targets.
Chart 6: Applied Materials (unit size $1) – target projection based on the average slope of the last x targets.
Multiple Price Targets
As with Point and figure count targets, multiple price targets point to the same price or price level increases the likelihood of price targets being met. This is known as ‘clustering’. Now with the ability to project price targets to a future date on a chart, it is not only possible to see clustering of the price of multiple targets, but also clustering of times targets may be met. This can lead to a ‘cluster zone’, an area of price and time in the future that multiple targets may be met. Chart 7 shows an example of this.
Chart 7: Applied Materials (unit size $1) – target zone of future price and time of multiple targets
Achievement and Non-Achievement of Price Targets and Prevailing Trend
Point and figure targets are approximate and are more often than not, not met precisely. They are regularly not achieved or exceeded, but this provides valuable information in itself. Upside price targets that are achieved or exceeded shows bullish confirmation, whereas these targets not being achieved indicates a degree of bearishness. Conversely, downside price targets achieved or exceeded is bearish confirmation and such targets not achieved is an indication of inherent bullishness.
Unsurprisingly, price targets are normally achieved or exceeded in line with the prevailing trend. Upside price targets should be given more weight in uptrends, while downside ones may only serve as a temporary moment for caution, because they are counter-trend. Downside Targets will carry more weight in downtrends. It is also often the case that the last target in line with the prevailing trend is never met as the trend changes and a new set of targets in the opposite direction are generated with the new reversal of trend. Active price targets in both directions are often an early sign of this. This is particularly true with multiple targets in the new trend direction verses one lone target in the previous trend direction. This lone target is likely to be negated, clearly signalling the new trend direction is taking hold.
Activation and Negation of Price Targets
An upside price target is only activated when prices rise a further than a full price unit above the top of the initial uninterrupted buying thrust in prices from a low. A low is defined by a price level at least one full price unit below a previous recent low. The pullback downwards of at least three price units ‘locks’ the initial thrust that generates the upside price target. Here the bulls buying from the bottom have been confirmed.
A downside price target is only activated when prices fall further than a full price unit below the bottom of the initial uninterrupted selling thrust in prices from a high. A high is defined by a price level at least one full price unit above a previous recent high. The pullback upwards of at least three price units ‘locks’ the initial thrust that generates the downside price target. Here the bears selling from the top have been confirmed.
A target is valid once the column is locked with the pullback of at least three units, but it should not be considered as active until the price breaks through the activation level. An unactivated target serves as advance notice that a target is in place and will become active once the activation price level is broken.
An upside price target is negated if prices fall below the bottom of the initial uninterrupted buying thrust in prices. In this instance the bulls have been beaten by the bears. Conversely, a downside price target is negated if prices rise above the top of the initial uninterrupted Selling thrust in prices. Here the bears selling from the top have been beaten by the bulls.
It is important to note the difference between a target that is activated first and then negated and a target that was never activated and negated first. Research shows that normally more than half of all negated targets were never activated and wouldn’t have been taken. Taking the prevailing trend into account further reduces the number of negated targets that would have been taken at the activation point.
Evaluating a Target as Price Progress
Because Linton Price targets can be evaluated with subsequent new price information with the passage of time, it becomes possible to see more easily, than on a point and figure chart, when a target might be failing. The ideas of activation, negation, and achievement of price targets are understood in point and figure charting and apply similarly here to time-based charts. But the ability to now see prices diverging from the target path presents us with some potential new states of a target. In the case of an upside target, if prices fall away or wander sideways from a target path this alerts us to the fact that the prices on their way to the target may be ‘exhausting’. If we fall or wander back below the target activation level, this implies the previous resistance level off the thrust high has not managed to become a new support level for the price. Consequently, we may consider that the target has been ‘de-activated’. If we fall further below the low of the pullback low point, this previous support level also failed to hold and this is providing us with an early warning that the target is quite possibly ‘failing.’ If prices are moving towards the target as expected, we can say the target is ‘in train.’ This is particularly appropriate for multiple targets that run parallel using the first price/time slope prediction method where the targets look like ‘train tracks.’
Improbable Targets
Occasionally an improbable target a long way from the price will be generated. This is particularly true using a log scale projection. Beware of a target that points to a very large change in price. This is especially true of a lone target. It is also quite likely that the unit size has been set too small where a bigger unit size may not produce a target at all.
Longer term charts
Point and figure charts have always meant to be constructed with tick data. The point and figure methodology reduces this down to just the ticks that create a new box on the chart. Long tick data price histories are typically expensive and hard to come by. This can also be an overwhelming amount data to store and analyse, particularly in the case of very liquid instruments such as a major currency pair. For intraday charts, one minute data will normally suffice. But these histories may not be long enough either and it may be necessary to use a 60-minute chart.
It is also possible to construct point and figure charts using high/low data or even open-high-low-close data making some assumptions based on a rising or falling candle, on which came first, the high or the low. The targets will be impacted accordingly.
When it comes to longer term charts such as weekly or monthly charts it is unlikely that these time frames would be used for point and figure charts. The construction method already filters the data. But when it comes to long-term time based charts it becomes necessary to look at weekly or monthly data.
You will also see that long term price upside targets are generated that are not on the daily chart. This is because daily the movements will not provide the same uninterrupted buying thrusts as with the monthly data. The daily pullbacks are effectively ignored when using monthly data. The other advantage is the unit size is now months so we can say that the target slope equates to 1% of price every month for a 1 to 1 slope for example. Using weekly or monthly data to construct the price targets is a significant departure from the traditional point and figure charting method.
Time-Based Charts Are Easier to Understand Than Point and Figure Charts
In recent years, the vast majority of people carrying out technical analysis of charts do not use the point and figure charts. This is partly because very few software systems draw them correctly and do not calculate the price targets. Newcomers to technical analysis find point and figure charts hard to understand.
Combining With Other Techniques
Using point and figure charts has also often meant the need to switch between different chart types for the same instrument. Time-based charts allow for a vast set of technical analysis time-series based techniques to be married with Linton Price Targets. Having different sets of analysis on the same chart can increase the power of the analysis without having to swap between different chart types.
Linton Price Targets builds on the technical analysis body of knowledge developed over the past 100 years by bringing an old, largely lost, technique into the modern age.
The main advantages of Linton Price Targets are:
• The ability to have price targets on time-based charts.
• It is now possible to ascertain when in the future a price target may be met.
• With the passage of time, it becomes clearer if a target track is being followed.
• The targets can be applied to longer-term time-based charts.
• Time-series based analysis techniques can be used on the same chart as the targets.
• The targets are much easier to understand for the newcomer to technical analysis.

Reversal IndicatorWhat does this indicator do?
This indicator is designed to help traders spot potential reversal points in the market by combining multiple conditions:
✅ Multi-Timeframe RSI – Checks RSI on a lower timeframe (like 5m) to see if the market is oversold or overbought.
✅ Higher Timeframe SMA Filter – Uses a higher timeframe SMA (like 1h) as a trend filter, so signals only trigger in the direction of the bigger trend.
✅ Candle Pattern Confirmation – Looks for bullish or bearish engulfing candles to confirm price exhaustion before signaling a reversal.
When all these conditions align, the indicator plots a triangle under/above the candle to highlight a possible reversal.
Why is this useful?
Many traders struggle with false RSI signals or candle patterns that fail because they don’t respect the larger trend.
This indicator filters out weak setups by requiring alignment between:
A lower timeframe RSI oversold/overbought condition,
A higher timeframe trend filter (SMA),
And a strong candle reversal pattern.
This multi-layer approach helps avoid chasing every RSI dip and focuses only on high-probability reversal zones.
How does it work?
Bullish reversal signal → appears when RSI on the lower TF is oversold, price is still above the higher TF SMA (trend still intact), AND a bullish engulfing candle forms.
Bearish reversal signal → appears when RSI on the lower TF is overbought, price is below the higher TF SMA, AND a bearish engulfing candle forms.
When all conditions match, the indicator plots a triangle under the candle for bullish signals and above the candle for bearish signals.
How to use it?
Choose your timeframes:
A timeframe for trend filtering (e.g. 1h).
A timeframe for RSI (e.g. 4h).
NOTICE: THE RSI TIMEFRAME SHOULD BE GREATER THEN THE TIMEFRAME FOR THE SMA
Otherwise it will not generate that much signals.
Watch for signals ONLY in the direction of the higher trend.
Use the signals as potential reversal points, not as guaranteed entries. Combine with your own confluence.
Optionally set alerts for bullish or bearish reversal conditions so you never miss a setup.
Customization
✅ Choose your RSI length & overbought/oversold levels.
✅ Select which timeframes you want for SMA & RSI.
✅ Toggle the higher TF SMA display on/off.
✅ Adjust signal appearance (triangles).

Universal Renko Bars by SiddWolfUniversal Renko Bars or UniRenko Bars is an overlay indicator that applies the logic of Renko charting directly onto a standard candlestick chart. It generates a sequence of price-driven bricks, where each new brick is formed only when the price moves a specific amount, regardless of time. This provides a clean, price-action-focused visualization of the market's trend.
WHAT IS UNIVERSAL RENKO BARS?
For years, traders have faced a stark choice: the clean, noise-free world of Renko charts, or the rich, time-based context of Candlesticks. Choosing Renko meant giving up your favorite moving averages, volume profiles, and the fundamental sense of time. Choosing Candlesticks meant enduring the market noise that often clouds true price action.
But what if you didn't have to choose?
Universal Renko Bars is a revolutionary indicator that ends this dilemma. It's not just another charting tool; it's a powerful synthesis that overlays the pure, price-driven logic of Renko bricks directly onto your standard candlestick chart. This hybrid approach gives you the best of both worlds:
❖ The Clarity of Renko: By filtering out the insignificant noise of time, Universal Renko reveals the underlying trend with unparalleled clarity. Up trends are clean successions of green bricks; down trends are clear red bricks. No more guesswork.
❖ The Context of Candlesticks: Because the Renko logic is an overlay, you retain your time axis, your volume data, and full compatibility with every other time-based indicator in your arsenal (RSI, MACD, Moving Averages, etc.).
The true magic, however, lies in its live, Unconfirmed Renko brick. This semi-transparent box is your window into the current bar's real-time struggle. It grows, shrinks, and changes color with every tick, showing you exactly how close the price is to confirming the trend or forcing a reversal. It’s no longer a lagging indicator; it’s a live look at the current battle between buyers and sellers.
Universal Renko Bars unifies these two powerful charting methods, transforming your chart into a more intelligent, noise-free, and predictive analytical canvas.
HOW TO USE
To get the most out of Universal Renko Bars, here are a few tips and a full breakdown of the settings.
Initial Setup for the Best Experience
For the cleanest possible view, it's highly recommended that you hide the body of your standard candlesticks, that shows only the skelton of the candle. This allows the Renko bricks to become the primary focus of your chart.
→ Double click on the candles and uncheck the body checkbox.
Settings Breakdown
The indicator is designed to be powerful yet intuitive. The settings are grouped to make customization easy.
First, What is a "Tick"?
Before we dive in, it's important to understand the concept of a "Tick." In Universal Renko, a Tick is not the same as a market tick. It's a fundamental unit of price movement that you define. For example, if you set the Tick Size to $0.50, then a price move of $1.00 is equal to 2 Ticks. This is the core building block for all Renko bricks. Tick size here is dynamically determined by the settings provided in the indicator.
❖ Calculation Method (The "Tick Size" Engine)
This section determines the monetary value of a single "Tick."
`Calculation Method` : Choose your preferred engine for defining the Tick Size.
`ATR Based` (Default): The Tick Size becomes dynamic, based on market volatility (Average True Range). Bricks will get larger in volatile markets and smaller in quiet ones. Use the `ATR 14 Multiplier` to control the sensitivity.
`Percentage` : The Tick Size is a simple percentage of the current asset price, controlled by the `Percent Size (%)` input.
`Auto` : The "set it and forget it" mode. The script intelligently calculates a Tick Size based on the asset's price. Use the `Auto Sensitivity` slider to make these automatically calculated bricks thicker (value > 1.0) or thinner (value < 1.0).
❖ Parameters (The Core Renko Engine)
This group controls how the bricks are constructed based on the Tick Size.
`Tick Trend` : The number of "Ticks" the price must move in the same direction to print a new continuation brick. A smaller value means bricks form more easily.
`Tick Reversal` : The number of "Ticks" the price must move in the opposite direction to print a new reversal brick. This is typically set higher than `Tick Trend` (e.g., double) to filter out minor pullbacks and market noise.
`Open Offset` : Controls the visual overlap of the bricks. A value of `0` creates gapless bricks that start where the last one ended. A value of `2` (with a `Tick Reversal` of 4) creates the classic 50% overlap look.
❖ Visuals (Controlling What You See)
This is where you tailor the chart to your visual preference.
`Show Confirmed Renko` : Toggles the solid-colored, historical bricks. These are finalized and will never change. They represent the confirmed past trend.
`Show Unconfirmed Renko` : This is the most powerful visual feature. It toggles the live, semi-transparent box that represents the developing brick. It shows you exactly where the price is right now in relation to the levels needed to form the next brick.
`Show Max/Min Levels` : Toggles the horizontal "finish lines" on your chart. The green line is the price target for a bullish brick, and the red line is the target for a bearish brick. These are excellent for spotting breakouts.
`Show Info Label` : Toggles the on-chart label that provides key real-time stats:
🧱 Bricks: The total count of confirmed bricks.
⏳ Live: How many chart bars the current live brick has been forming. These bars forms the Renko bricks that aren't confirmed yet. Live = 0 means the latest renko brick is confirmed.
🌲 Tick Size: The current calculated value of a single Tick.
Hover over the label for a tooltip with live RSI(14), MFI(14), and CCI(20) data for additional confirmation.
TRADING STRATEGIES & IDEAS
Universal Renko Bars isn't just a visual tool; it's a foundation for building robust trading strategies.
Trend Confirmation: The primary use is to instantly identify the trend. A series of green bricks indicates a strong uptrend; a series of red bricks indicates a strong downtrend. Use this to filter out trades that go against the primary momentum.
Reversal Spotting: Pay close attention to the Unconfirmed Brick . When a strong trend is in place and the live brick starts to fight against it—changing color and growing larger—it can be an early warning that a reversal is imminent. Wait for the brick to be confirmed for a higher probability entry.
Breakout Trading: The `Max/Min Levels` are your dynamic breakout zones. A long entry can be considered when the price breaks and closes above the green Max Level, confirming a new bullish brick. A short entry can be taken when price breaks below the red Min Level.
Confluence & Indicator Synergy: This is where Universal Renko truly shines. Overlay a moving average (e.g., 20 EMA). Only take long trades when the green bricks are forming above the EMA. Combine it with RSI or MACD; a bearish reversal brick forming while the RSI shows bearish divergence is a very powerful signal.
A FINAL WORD
Universal Renko Bars was designed to solve a fundamental problem in technical analysis. It brings together the best elements of two powerful methodologies to give you a clearer, more actionable view of the market. By filtering noise while retaining context, it empowers you to make decisions with greater confidence.

Swing Failure Patterns | InvrsROBINHOODA Swing Failure Pattern is a powerful price action signal that suggests a "liquidity grab" or "stop hunt." The indicator identifies two types of SFPs:
🐻 Bearish SFP (Red Label): This occurs when the price pushes above a prior swing high but then closes back below it. This failure to hold higher prices indicates that buyers have lost control, and the move was likely designed to trigger the stop-loss orders of short-sellers. It signals a potential move lower.
🐂 Bullish SFP (Green Label): This occurs when the price pushes below a prior swing low but then closes back above it. This failure to hold lower prices suggests that sellers have been exhausted, and the move was likely a hunt for the stops of long-position holders. It signals a potential move higher.
The indicator works by first detecting significant swing points based on user-defined Pivot Left Bars and Pivot Right Bars settings. It then watches for the price to sweep past one of these pivots and close back on the opposite side, at which point it draws a clear label on the chart.
How to Use It in Trading
Traders can use the SFP indicator as a high-probability setup for entering trades, especially when combined with other forms of analysis.
1. Reversal Entries
The most direct use of the indicator is to signal trade entries.
When a red "SFP" label appears above a candle, it can be used as a signal to enter a short (sell) position. A logical place for a stop-loss would be just above the high of that SFP candle.
When a green "SFP" label appears below a candle, it can be used as a signal to enter a long (buy) position. A logical stop-loss would be placed just below the low of the SFP candle.
2. Confirmation and Confluence
SFPs are most powerful when they form at significant locations on the chart. Do not trade every signal in isolation. Instead, look for confluence, where the SFP confirms another trading thesis. For example, a bearish SFP is much more reliable if it occurs at:
A major resistance level.
A key Fibonacci retracement level (e.g., the 61.8% or 78.6% level).
The upper boundary of a trading range or channel.
In alignment with a higher timeframe downtrend.
3. Defined Risk Management
A key advantage of the SFP pattern is that it provides a very clear and objective level to define your risk. The high or low of the candle that created the pattern serves as a natural invalidation point for the trade idea, allowing for tight and effective stop-loss placement.

Alt Szn Oracle - Institutional GradeThe Alt Szn Oracle is a macro-level indicator built to help traders front-run altseason by tracking liquidity, dominance rotation, sentiment, and capital flows—all in one signal. It’s designed for those who don’t just chase pumps, but want to understand when the tide is turning and why. This tool doesn't predict specific coin breakouts—it tells you when the market as a whole is gearing up to rotate into higher beta assets like altcoins, including memes and microcaps.
The index consolidates ten macro inputs into a normalized, smoothed score from 0–100. These include Bitcoin and Ethereum dominance, ETH/BTC, altcoin market cap (Total3), relative volume flows, and stablecoin supply (USDT, USDC, DAI)—which act as proxies for risk-on appetite and dry powder entering the system. It also incorporates manually updated sentiment metrics from Google Trends and the Fear & Greed Index, giving it a behavioral edge that most indicators lack.
The logic is simple but powerful: when BTC dominance is falling, ETH/BTC is rising, altcoin volume increases relative to BTC/ETH, and stablecoins start moving—you're likely in the early innings of rotation. The index is also filtered through a volatility threshold and smoothed with an EMA to eliminate chop and fakeouts.
Use this indicator on macro charts like TOTAL3, TOTAL2, or ETHBTC to gauge market health, or overlay it on specific coins like PEPE, DOGE, or SOL to confirm if the tide is in your favor. Interpreting the score is straightforward: readings above 80 suggest euphoria and signal it’s time to de-risk, 60–80 indicates expansion and confirms altseason is underway, 40–60 is neutral, and 20–40 is a capitulation zone where smart money accumulates.
What sets this apart is that it doesn’t just track price—it reflects the flow of capital, the positioning of liquidity, and the sentiment of the crowd. Most altseason indicators are lagging, overfitted, or too simplistic. This one is modular, forward-looking, and grounded in real capital rotation theory.
If you're a trader who wants to time the cycle, not guess it, this is your tool. Refine it, fork it, or expand it to your niche—DeFi, NFTs, meme coins, or L1s. It’s a framework for reading the macro winds, not a signal service. Use it with discipline, and you’ll catch the wave while others drown in noise.
Moving Liquidation PreferenceVersion 0.1
The indicator provides an indication of the "Moving Liquidation Preference" for Strategy's ( NASDAQ:MSTR ) preferred equities ( NASDAQ:STRK , NASDAQ:STRF , NASDAQ:STRF ). The author attempts to accurately recreate the values based on information available in SEC disclosures and using public stock trading data. Since these are open to interpretation and the data may not be the golden truth for determining the liquidation preference, the author explicitly indicates that the information provided by this indicator is non-indicative and not meant to supersede information provided by Strategy directly. It is meant for entertainment purposes only, not for use in financial decision making.
The author has made every attempt to be as accurate as possible, but mistakes invariably occur and should be reported to the author if discovered.
The script will be updated as new preferred stock is issued via ATM or other sales for as long as the author is willing and able to do so.
Why is the script private?
This script includes data on the issuance of Strategy preferred equity ( NASDAQ:STRK , NASDAQ:STRF , NASDAQ:STRF ) that was manually determined by the author after going through countless hours of SEC disclosures. Since there is no publicly available repository for this information and the author would like to retain the right to make this available at a later date, the script is kept private. In addition, the data may be faulty and should not be relied upon for financial decision making. This indicator is not financial advise, nor does it purport to replace professional guidance. Use at your own risk!
JXMJXRS - Retest Entry ZonesThis indicator identifies directional breakout retest zones based on structural price levels. It is built for traders who look for secondary entry opportunities after breakouts—often referred to as "retest entries." It is particularly suited to crypto markets and other volatile assets where breakout-retest behavior is frequent and tradable.
The indicator monitors recent price structure and identifies breakouts above or below key levels using a configurable lookback window. When a breakout occurs, it automatically plots a colored zone in the direction of the move:
Green zones are plotted after bullish breakouts (potential long retest areas).
Red zones are plotted after bearish breakouts (potential short retest areas).
Each zone persists on the chart for a defined number of bars before being removed to maintain visual clarity.
Settings
Range Lookback:
Defines how many bars are used to determine recent highs and lows. This controls the structural levels the script uses to detect a breakout. Higher values filter out minor breakouts and only react to more significant price moves.
Zone Height (%):
Sets the vertical size of the retest zone as a percentage of the breakout candle's close. A larger value produces wider zones and increases the chance of price re-entering the zone.
Zone Duration (bars):
Determines how long each zone remains visible after the breakout. After the specified number of bars, the zone is automatically removed. This helps prevent clutter and keeps focus on recent, actionable retest opportunities.
The indicator works across all timeframes and does not repaint. It is best used in trending environments or during volatile market phases where breakouts are likely to lead to continuation.
Bitcoin Cycle Log-Curve (JDK-Analysis)Important: The standard parameters provided in the script are specifically tuned for the TradingView Bitcoin Index chart on a monthly timeframe on logarithmic scale, and will yield the most accurate visual alignment when applied to that dataset. (more below)
This very simple script visualizes Bitcoin’s long-term price behavior using a logarithmic regression model designed to reflect the cyclical nature of Bitcoin’s historical market trends. Unlike typical technical indicators that react to recent price movements, this tool is built on the assumption that Bitcoin follows an exponential growth path over time, shaped by its fixed supply structure and four-year halving cycles.
The calculation behind the curved bands:
An upper boundary, a lower boundary, and a central midline, are calculated based on logarithmic functions applied to the bar index (which serves as a proxy for time). The upper and lower bounds are defined using exponential formulas of the type y = exp(constant + coefficient * log(bar_index)), allowing the curves to evolve dynamically over time. These bands serve as a macro-level guide for identifying periods of historical overvaluation (upper red curve) and undervaluation (lower green curve), with a central black curve representing the geometric average of the two.
How to customize the parameters:
The lower1_const and upper1_const values vertically shift the respective lower and upper curves—more negative values push the curve downward, while higher values lift it.
The lower1_coef and upper1_coef control the steepness of the curves over time, with higher values resulting in faster growth relative to time.
The shift_factor allows for uniform vertical adjustment of all curves simultaneously.
Additionally, the channel_width setting determines how far the mirrored bands extend from the original curves, creating a visual “channel” that can highlight more conservative or aggressive valuation zones depending on preference.
How to use this indicator:
This indicator is not intended for short-term trading or intraday signals. Rather, it serves as a contextual framework for long-term investors to identify high-risk zones near the upper curve and potential long-term value opportunities near the lower curve. These areas historically align with cycle tops and bottoms, and the model helps to place current price action within that broader cyclical narrative. While the concept draws inspiration from Bitcoin’s halving-driven market cycles and exponential adoption curve, the implementation is original in its use of time-based logarithmic regression to define dynamic trend boundaries.
It is best used as a strategic tool for cycle analysis, macro positioning, and trend anchoring—rather than as a short-term signal provider.

Dow Theory - Low timeframe Linear Regression Channel🔍 Dow Theory - Minor Trend: Linear Regression Channel for Low Timeframes
Catch Every Move. No Smoothing. No Delay. Pure Price Action.
This indicator redefines how you analyze minor trends on low timeframes by applying Dow Theory principles without relying on traditional smoothing techniques like moving averages. Instead, it maps trends using pure candle high and low points, capturing even the smallest structural shifts with surgical precision.
🧠 What Makes It Special?
Unlike traditional linear regression channels that smooth price across fixed windows (which often fail during high volatility or abrupt moves), this tool is built to react instantly, adapting to the true pulse of the market—the candle’s own highs and lows. The result: no lag, no distortion, and no compromise during fast, slow, wide, or tight market phases.
🧩 Core Functionalities:
Minor Trend Mapping: Automatically identifies and draws channels using candle-by-candle pivot detection (not swing highs/lows).
Adaptive Channel Drawing: Draws real-time parallel channels as soon as a valid trend structure is detected—uptrend, downtrend, or sideway range.
Break Detection Logic: Highlights when price breaks above or below the current channel to anticipate trend shifts.
Sideway Detection: Dynamically tracks contraction phases using overlapping pivot structures.
No Repainting: All lines are fixed and historical; what you see is what really happened.
Fully Customizable:
Change trendline colors for bullish, bearish, or sideway zones.
Adjustable line width and style (solid, dashed, dotted).
Toggle on/off channel lines for clarity.
💡 Why Use This?
If you’re tired of average-based indicators that get whipsawed in volatile markets, this is your surgical tool for clarity. Whether you’re scalping, building entry logic, or looking to automate setups—this indicator gives you the raw market structure in its cleanest, most responsive form.
ENJOY!
Absorption DetectorABSORPTION DETECTOR -
The Absorption Detector identifies institutional order flow by detecting "absorption" patterns where smart money quietly accumulates or distributes positions by absorbing retail order flow. This creates high-probability support and resistance zones for trading. This is an approximation only and does not read any footprint data.
WHAT IS ABSORPTION?
Absorption occurs when institutions take the opposite side of retail trades, creating specific candlestick patterns with high volume and significant wicks. The indicator identifies two main patterns:
SELLING ABSORPTION (P-Pattern): Red zones above candles where institutions sell into retail buying pressure, creating resistance levels. Look for high volume candles with large upper wicks that close in the lower half.
BUYING ABSORPTION (B-Pattern): Green zones below candles where institutions buy from retail selling pressure, creating support levels. Look for high volume candles with large lower wicks that close in the upper half.
KEY FEATURES
- Automatic detection of institutional absorption patterns
- Dynamic support and resistance zone creation
- Customizable styling for all visual elements
- Historic zone display for backtesting analysis
- Strength-based filtering to show only high-probability setups
- Real-time alerts for new absorption patterns
- Professional info panel with key statistics
- Multi-timeframe compatibility
MAIN SETTINGS
Volume Threshold (1.2): Minimum volume surge required compared to average. Higher values = fewer but stronger signals.
Minimum Volume (2500): Absolute volume floor to prevent signals during low-volume periods.
Min Wick Size (0.2): Minimum wick size as ATR multiple. Ensures significant rejection occurred.
Minimum Strength (1.5): Combined volume and wick strength filter. Higher values = higher quality signals.
Show Historic Zones (OFF): Enable to see all historical zones for backtesting. Disable for better performance.
Zone Extension (20): How many bars to project zones forward for anticipating future reactions.
TRADING APPROACH
ZONE REACTION STRATEGY: Wait for price to approach absorption zones and trade the bounce or rejection. Use the zones as dynamic support and resistance levels.
BREAKOUT STRATEGY: Trade decisive breaks of strong absorption zones with proper risk management. Failed zones often lead to strong moves.
CONFLUENCE TRADING: Combine absorption zones with other technical analysis for highest probability setups. Look for alignment with trend lines, Fibonacci levels, and key support/resistance.
RISK MANAGEMENT: Always use stop losses beyond the absorption zones. Target minimum 1:2 risk-reward ratios. Position size appropriately based on zone strength.
OPTIMIZATION GUIDE
For Conservative Trading (fewer, higher quality signals):
- Volume Threshold: 1.5
- Minimum Strength: 2.0
- Min Wick Size: 0.3
For Aggressive Trading (more signals, requires careful filtering):
- Volume Threshold: 1.1
- Minimum Strength: 1.0
- Min Wick Size: 0.15
BEST PRACTICES
Markets: Works best on liquid instruments with good volume - major forex pairs, popular stocks, liquid futures, and established cryptocurrencies.
Timeframes: Effective on all timeframes from 1-minute scalping to daily swing trading. Adjust settings based on your timeframe and trading style.
Confirmation: Never trade absorption signals in isolation. Always combine with trend analysis, market structure, and proper risk management.
Session Timing: Be aware of market sessions and avoid trading during low liquidity periods or major news events.
Backtesting: Use the historic zones feature to validate performance on your chosen market and timeframe before live trading.
CUSTOMIZATION
The indicator offers complete visual customization including zone colors, border styles, label appearances, and info panel positioning. All colors can be adapted to match your chart theme and personal preferences.
Alert system provides both basic and custom message alerts for real-time notifications of new absorption patterns.
PERFORMANCE NOTES
Default settings are optimized for most markets and timeframes. For best performance on older charts, keep "Show Historic Zones" disabled unless specifically backtesting.
The indicator maintains excellent performance even with extensive historical analysis enabled, handling up to 500 zones and 100 labels for comprehensive backtesting.

Wave Collapse Simulation - Confirmation of New TrendThis Pine Script, titled "Wave Collapse Simulation - Confirmation of New Trend," is an advanced indicator designed to identify high-conviction trend changes. It operates on the principle of a "wave collapse," a metaphor for a moment when market uncertainty resolves into a new, confirmed direction. It identifies these moments by combining signals from market structure, trend-following moving averages, and a spike in volatility. The indicator plots its signals directly on the price chart
The core idea is that a stable trend (making higher highs and higher lows, or vice-versa) will eventually fail. This script pinpoints the exact moment this failure is confirmed by a significant price move that breaks key levels, signaling the start of a new trend.
Key Components
1. Multi-Length Pivot Analysis
Instead of relying on a single lookback period, the script analyzes market structure using up to ten different pivot lengths (e.g., 2, 3, 5, 7, 11...).
Structural Failure: It constantly monitors these pivots to see if the market fails to make a new higher high in an uptrend (higherHighsFailed) or a new lower low in a downtrend (lowerLowsFailed). A failure in this pattern is the first sign that the prevailing trend is weakening.
2. Trend Context and Volatility Trigger
The script uses two additional components to validate a potential trend change:
Long-Term Trend: Two slow-moving averages (999 and 3000 periods) are used to establish the dominant, long-term trend direction. A signal can only occur if it aligns with a break of this established trend.
Volatility Spike: It uses the Average True Range (ATR) to detect a sudden, powerful price movement. A "collapse" is only considered valid if the price moves more than a specified multiple of the ATR, ensuring the signal is backed by significant market force and not just noise.
3. The "Collapse" Event
This is the central logic of the indicator. A bullish or bearish collapse is a high-probability signal triggered only when three specific conditions are met simultaneously:
Bullish Collapse (New Uptrend):
Structure: The market has failed to make new lower lows.
Trend Break: The price breaks above the short-term moving average during a long-term downtrend.
Volatility: The move is accompanied by a significant volatility spike.
Bearish Collapse (New Downtrend):
Structure: The market has failed to make new higher highs.
Trend Break: The price breaks below the short-term moving average during a long-term uptrend.
Volatility: The move is accompanied by a significant volatility spike.
4. Gaussian Probability Simulation
The script includes a Gaussian (normal distribution) function to model market certainty.
Sigma (σ): This variable represents the standard deviation, or "uncertainty." After a collapse event, sigma is reset to a very small value, representing a moment of high certainty about the new trend.
Decay: If no new collapse occurs, sigma gradually increases with each bar, representing the return of uncertainty to the market. While the script calculates the probabilities for a price distribution (the "wave"), its primary function is to use the state of sigma to define the collapse event itself, rather than plotting a visual wave.
How It Appears on the Chart
Moving Averages: The long-term maShort (blue) and maLong (orange) are plotted to show the underlying trend context.
Collapse Signals:
A green triangle is plotted below the price bar to signal a Bullish Collapse.
A red triangle is plotted above the price bar to signal a Bearish Collapse.
Collapse Price: A horizontal red line appears at the price where the collapse was triggered, serving as a key reference level for the new trend.

Slope Based Divergences Multi-Block (Dual Price)This Pine Script® indicator, titled "Slope Based Divergences Multi-Block (Dual Price)," is engineered to identify high-conviction trading signals by detecting divergences across multiple look-back lengths simultaneously. It uses a unique method of calculating momentum through average slopes rather than traditional price points, applying this logic to two different price sources and an oscillator for a comprehensive market view.
Core Concept: Average Slope Analysis
Instead of just looking at price or oscillator values, the indicator's foundation is built on measuring the rate-of-change, or slope, of the market. It goes a step further by calculating an average slope over a specified range of lengths. This provides a much more stable and robust measure of momentum compared to a single-length calculation, effectively smoothing out noise and focusing on the true underlying trend.
The Multi-Block System
The indicator's main strength comes from its "multi-block" design, which concurrently analyzes the market from three distinct perspectives:
Block 1 (Short-Term): Focuses on recent price action.
Block 2 (Mid-Term): Looks at the intermediate trend.
Block 3 (Long-Term): Analyzes the broader, underlying market structure.
For each of these blocks, the indicator calculates the average slope for two separate price sources (e.g., high and low) and one oscillator source (e.g., RSI, Stochastics).
Normalization and Thresholds
To make the slope values from different look back lengths comparable, the indicator converts each calculated average slope into a percentile rank. This rank, from 0 to 100, shows how extreme the current slope is compared to its historical values. Each of the three blocks has its own customizable high and low thresholds, allowing you to define precisely what constitutes a significant upward or downward momentum for that specific timeframe.
High-Confluence Divergence Signals
A divergence is flagged when there's a clear disagreement between the direction of price and the direction of the oscillator. For example, a bullish divergence occurs when the price sources are showing significant downward momentum (low percentile rank slopes) while the oscillator is showing significant upward momentum (high percentile rank slope).
The final signal is intentionally very selective. A "BULL" or "BEAR" signal is only generated when a rare moment of consensus occurs: all three blocks must detect a divergence simultaneously, and an additional short-term price movement must confirm this potential shift in momentum. This strict, multi-layered confirmation process is designed to filter out weak signals and highlight only the most promising opportunities.
The indicator plots clear labels on the chart and can trigger alerts, making it easy to spot these high-conviction setups when they occur
