Donchian MA Bands [LuxAlgo]The Donchian MA Bands script is a complete trend indicator derived from the popular Donchian channel indicator as well as various customizable moving averages to estimate trend direction and build support/resistance levels & zones.
🔶 USAGE
The indicator outputs various elements, the main ones being a lower dynamic zone (blue by default), an upper dynamic zone (in orange by default), and one support and resistance level/zones (red/green by default).
A prominent lower zone is indicative of an uptrend, while a prominent upper zone is indicative of a downtrend. These zones can be used as support/resistance as well.
Support/resistance zones and levels can be used using a breakout methodology or to determine price bounced if a level was tested multiple times.
The indicator contains various modes affecting the output of the indicator, described below.
🔹 Clouds
Clouds return one upper/lower dynamic zone and look/act similarly to a trailing stop. Price over the lower zone is indicative of an uptrend, and price under the upper zone is indicative of a downtrend.
🔹 Upper Band
The upper band mode returns a dynamic zone closer to prices during an uptrend, and farther away during a downtrend.
This band can act as a support during uptrends.
🔹 Lower Band
The lower band mode returns a dynamic zone closer to prices during an uptrend, and farther away during a downtrend.
This band can act as a resistance during downtrends.
🔹 Bands
Bands return both upper and lower zones, the zones are more apparent depending on the price trend direction, with uptrends being indicated by a more visible lower zone, and downtrends being indicated by a more visible upper zone.
Breakout dots are highlighted when price breakout the indicator displayed extremities, and can be indicative of a confirmed trend reversal.
These breakouts can be more effective for trend following during trending markets. Ranging markets might return breakouts highlighting the top/bottom.
🔶 DETAILS
The core of this script is the highest / lowest mean average (MA) value for a given number of bars back ( Donchian lines).
This is repeated a few times with the obtained values.
When Bands are chosen ( Style ) this will be repeated 1 more time.
The type of mean average can be customized ( Type MA ), as well as the number of bars back ( Length ).
Depending on the choice of bands ( Style ) the script will focus on certain area's of interest.
When the option Clouds , Upper band or Lower band is chosen, an extra feature, support/resistance (S/R), will be shown.
These color-filled areas are visible when there is a difference between the 2nd and 3rd highest/lowest values.
The lines/areas can be used for stop loss, entry, exit,...
You can set the type of MA and Length separately ( Settings -> S/R ).
If you don't need this feature, simply set Type ( Settings -> S/R ) -> NONE
The shape sometimes resembles triangles, indicating a potential direction
Default the average of the highest and lowest values is plotted (Style -> Mid Donchian)
This can act as potential support/resistance or visualization of the trend, the mean average is not plotted but can be (Style -> MA)
🔹 Note
When the option Bands is chosen, an indication is plotted when the closing price breaks above the highest band or breaks below the lower band. This isn't necessarily a buy/sell signal, it is merely a signal that these lines are broken.
Users should decide on their own how they use the bands/lines/areas as entry, exit, trailing stop, stop loss, profit taking,...
🔶 SETTINGS

Style: Clouds (default), Upper band, Lower band, Bands
Type MA: choose between SMA, EMA, RMA, HullMA, WMA, VWMA (default), DEMA, TEMA, NONE (off)

Bollinger CloudsThis indicator plots Bollinger Bands for your current timeframe (e.g 5 minutes) and also plots the Bollinger Bands for a higher timeframe (15 minutes for 5 minute timeframe). Then the gaps between the current and higher timeframe upper and lower bands is filled to create clouds which can be used as entry zones. Like Bollinger Bands, this indicator shouldn't be solely used for entries, use it in conjunction with other indicators.

Ripster EMA CloudsEMA Cloud By Ripster
EMA Cloud System is a Trading System Invented by Ripster where areas are shaded between two desired EMAs. The concept implies the EMA cloud area serves as support or resistance for Intraday & Swing Trading. This can be utilized effectively on 10 Min for day trading and 1Hr/Daily for Swings. Ripster himself utilizes various combinations of the 5-12, 34-50, 8-9, 20-21 EMA clouds but the possibilities are endless to find what works best for you.
“Ideally, 5-12 or 5-13 EMA cloud acts as a fluid trendline for day trades. 8-9 EMA Clouds can be used as pullback Levels –(optional). Additionally, a high level price over or under 34-50 EMA clouds confirms either bullish or bearish bias on the price action for any timeframe” – Ripster
EMA clouds (5/12 and 34/50)This is a custom ema cloud script with a 5/12 cloud and a 34/50 cloud.
Personally, I used to trade with the 20 ema and 50 ema, but wanted something with a little more robust. These clouds are especially great for the first hour of market open since strong bullish stocks that have gapped up overnight tend to follow these trends.
For example, Tesla opened above the clouds and used them as support before running all day.
NIO happened to do a similar move.

Fibonacci ClustersI was reading about Fibonacci Clusters on investopedia (www.investopedia.com) and couldn't find a script for it on tradingveiw. Apparently some people use it successfully but I found it a little chaotic. This script will mark the retracements in a window's length, and you can set this for six windows. This script isn't very pretty because it doesn't seem obviously useful and pinescript has far too many deficiencies to fully flesh this idea out. I was able to make more sense out of larger windowing times (500-4000 periods), than shorter ones (25-333). Try it out, see what it shows you. Happy trading
Multiple Ichimoku CloudsFor anyone that uses the Ichimoku Cloud there is a consistent need to flip between timeframes to get information about this at all levels. However, that trouble is now over. In this script there are 4 Ichimoku Clouds that operate in 4 different time frames. To change the timeframe simply change the multiplication factor to the desired levels. How this script works is that it takes your current timeframe as an input then it applies multiplication factors to it to achieve larger timescales. In the example here we are looking at the XBTJPY pair on the 1 hour. Our first cloud is 1x scaling, meaning that it is the 1 hour cloud. The second and third are 2x and 4x respectively meaning that we are looking at the 2 hour cloud and the 4 hour cloud. Lastly the largest cloud is the 24x cloud, aka the daily cloud. Now you only really need one look at the clouds for all the essential information.
As always feel free to message me about anything regarding this script.
Be happy :)
Volume CloudsI know it isn't much, but it is my first time coding an indicator!
You might need to modify distance to fit the volatility and time frame of the chart you are looking at (if candles stay on top of cloud in an ugly mess, increase distance until signals can be seen). Sometimes heikin ashi candles can really help clear the picture up as well.
How to use:
The lines are the Volume Weighted Moving Average (green) and Simple Moving Average (red).
Cloud is green when VWMA is above SMA ( bullish ) and red when SMA is above VWMA ( bearish ).
The thicker the cloud, the stronger the signal. Also, the farther price strays from the cloud, the more pressure there is for it to return.
Look for divergences:
When price passes below a green cloud you have a bullish divergence (or if cloud turns green at crossing point)
Price pass above red cloud = bearish divergence.
Or confirmations:
Price passes below red cloud = bearish confirmation.
Price pass above green cloud = bullish confirmation.
I hope this helps you at least a little! Twitter: GarrettZ
clouded pastSearch indicators for "clouded" to find this one, and add to your chart.
Takes lowest(min) and highest(max) of several bars,
averages that over several bars,
shifts by half of the middle of those two bar numbers,
and colors the inbetween by candle color.
You can choose 3 parameters.

Thanks.
