Expansion Triangle [TradingFinder] MegaPhone Broadening🔵 Introduction
The Expanding Triangle, also known as the Broadening Formation, is one of the key technical analysis patterns that clearly reflects growing market volatility, increasing indecision among participants, and the potential for sharp price explosions.
This pattern is typically defined by a sequence of higher highs and lower lows, forming within two diverging trendlines. Unlike traditional triangles that converge to a breakout point, the expanding triangle pattern becomes wider over time, leaving no precise apex for a breakout to occur.
From a price action perspective, the pattern represents a prolonged tug-of-war between buyers and sellers, where neither side has taken control yet. Each aggressive swing opens the door to new opportunities whether it's a trend reversal, range trading, or a momentum breakout. This dual nature makes the pattern highly versatile across market conditions, from exhausted trend ends to volatile consolidation zones.
The custom-built indicator for this pattern uses a combination of smart algorithms and detailed analysis of swing dynamics to automatically detect expanding triangles and highlight low-risk entry points.
Traders can use this tool to capitalize on high-probability setups from shorting near the upper edge of the structure with confirmation, to trading bearish breakouts during trend continuations, or entering long positions near the lower boundary during bullish reversals. The chart examples included in this article demonstrate these three highly practical trading scenarios in live market conditions.
A major advantage of this indicator lies in its structural filtering engine, which analyzes the behavior of each price leg in the triangle. With four adjustable filter levels from Very Aggressive, which highlights all potential patterns, to Very Defensive, which only triggers when price actually touches the triangle's trendlines the indicator ensures that only structurally sound and verified setups appear on the chart, reducing noise and false signals significantly.

🔵 How to Use
The pattern typically forms in conditions of heightened uncertainty and volatility, where price swings generate a series of higher highs and lower lows. The expanding triangle consists of three key legs bounded by diverging trendlines. The indicator intelligently analyzes each leg's direction and angle to determine whether a valid pattern is forming.
At the core of the indicator’s logic is its leg filtering system, which controls the quality of the pattern and filters out weak or noisy setups. Four structural filter modes are available to suit different trading styles and risk preferences. In Very Aggressive mode, filters are disabled, and the indicator detects any pattern purely based on the sequence of swing points.
This mode is ideal for traders who want to see everything and apply their own discretion.
In Aggressive mode, the indicator checks whether each new leg extends no more than twice the length of the previous one. If a leg overshoots excessively, the structure is invalidated.
In Defensive mode, the filter enforces a minimum movement requirement each leg must move at least 2% of the previous one. This prevents the formation of shallow, weak patterns that visually resemble triangles but lack substance.
The strictest setting, Very Defensive, combines all previous filters and additionally requires the price to physically touch the triangle’s trendlines before issuing a signal. This ensures that setups only appear when real market interaction with key structural levels has occurred, not based on assumptions or geometry alone. This mode is ideal for traders seeking maximum precision and minimal risk.
🟣 Bullish Setup
A bullish setup within the Expanding Triangle pattern occurs when price revisits the lower support boundary after a series of broad swings typically near the third leg of the formation. This area often represents a shift in momentum, where sellers begin to lose strength and buyers prepare to take control.
Ideally, the setup is accompanied by a bullish reversal candle (e.g. doji, pin bar, or engulfing) near the lower trendline. If the Very Defensive filter is active, the indicator will only issue a signal if price makes a confirmed touch on the trendline and reacts from that level. This significantly improves signal accuracy and filters out premature entries.
After confirmation, traders may choose to enter a long position on the bullish candle or shortly afterward. A logical stop-loss is placed just below the recent swing low within the pattern. The target can be set at or near the upper trendline, or projected using the full height of the triangle added to the breakout point. On higher timeframes, this reversal often marks the beginning of a strong uptrend.
🟣 Bearish Setup
A bearish setup forms when price climbs toward the upper resistance trendline, usually as the third leg completes. This is where buyers often begin to show exhaustion, and sellers step in with strength providing an ideal low-risk entry point for short positions.
As with the bullish setup, if the Candle Confirmation filter is enabled, the indicator will only show a signal when a bearish reversal candle forms at the point of contact. If Defensive or Very Defensive filters are also active, the setup must meet strict criteria of proportionate leg movement and an actual trendline touch to qualify.
Once confirmed, traders can enter on the reversal candle, placing a stop-loss slightly above the recent high. The target can be set at the lower trendline or calculated based on the triangle's full height, projected downward. This setup is particularly useful at the end of weak bullish trends or in volatile market tops.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Logic Settings
Pivot Period : Defines how many bars are analyzed to identify swing highs and lows. Higher values detect larger, slower structures, while lower values respond to faster patterns. The default value of 13 offers a balanced sensitivity.
Pattern Filter :
Very Aggressive : Detects all patterns based on point sequence with no structural checks.
Aggressive : Ensures each leg is no more than 2x the size of the previous one.
Defensive : Requires each leg to be at least 2% the size of the previous leg.
Very Defensive : The strictest level; only confirms patterns when price touches trendlines.
Candle Confirmation : When enabled, the indicator requires a valid confirmation candle (doji, pin bar, engulfing) at the interaction point with the trendline before issuing a signal. This reduces false entries and improves entry precision.
🟣 Alert Settings
Alert : Enables alerts for SSS.
Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'.
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'.
🔵 Conclusion
The Expanding Triangle pattern, with its wide structure and volatility-driven nature, represents chaos but also opportunity. For traders who can read its behavior, it provides some of the most powerful setups for reversals, breakouts, and range-based trades. While the pattern may seem messy at first glance, it is built on clear logic and when properly detected, it offers high-probability opportunities.
This indicator doesn’t just draw expanding triangles it intelligently evaluates their structural quality, validates price interaction through candle confirmation, and allows the trader to fine-tune the detection logic through adjustable filter levels. Whether you’re a reversal trader looking for a turning point, or a breakout trader hunting momentum, this tool adapts to your strategy.
In volatile or uncertain markets, where fakeouts and sudden shifts are common, this indicator can become a cornerstone of your trading system helping you turn volatility into structured, high-quality opportunities.

MA Signal IndicatorMA Signal Indicator
The MA Signal Indicator is a customizable designed to identify potential trading opportunities based on price interactions with a Simple Moving Average (SMA). It incorporates risk management features such as stop-loss (SL), take-profit (TP), and breakeven levels, calculated using the Average True Range (ATR). The indicator is visually intuitive, overlaying trade signals, price levels, and colored zones directly on the chart.
Key Features:
1. Moving Average-Based Signals:
• Generates buy (long) signals when the price crosses above a user-defined SMA (default: 55 periods).
• Generates sell (short) signals when the price crosses below the SMA.
• Long and short trades can be independently enabled or disabled via input settings.
2. Risk Management:
• Stop-Loss (SL): Set as a multiple of the ATR (default: 1x ATR) below the entry price for long trades or above for short trades.
• Take-Profit (TP): Set as a multiple of the ATR (default: 5x ATR) above the entry price for long trades or below for short trades.
• Breakeven Level: A trigger level (default: 2x ATR) where traders may choose to move their stop-loss to breakeven, optionally displayed on the chart.
3. Visual Feedback:
• SMA Line: Plotted in orange (default: 55-period SMA) for trend reference.
• Trade Zone: Highlights the area between the stop-loss and take-profit levels with a semi-transparent green (long) or red (short) background.
• Price Lines: Displays entry price (white), stop-loss (red), take-profit (green), and breakeven level (gray, optional) as horizontal lines during active trades.
• Signal Markers: Triangular markers indicate entry points (green triangle up for long, red triangle down for short).
• Exit Markers: Labels show when a trade hits the take-profit (green checkmark) or stop-loss (red cross).
4. Trade Logic:
• Only one trade is active at a time (long or short).
• Trades are exited when either the stop-loss or take-profit is hit, resetting the indicator for the next signal.
• Ensures signals are only triggered when not already in a trade, avoiding duplicate entries.
Inputs:
• MA Period: Length of the SMA (default: 55).
• ATR Period: Period for ATR calculation (default: 5).
• SL Multiplier: ATR multiplier for stop-loss (default: 1.0).
• TP Multiplier: ATR multiplier for take-profit (default: 5.0).
• Move to Breakeven After: ATR multiplier for breakeven trigger (default: 2.0).
• Show Break Even Line: Option to display the breakeven level (default: true).
• Allow Long Trades: Enable/disable long signals (default: true).
• Allow Short Trades: Enable/disable short signals (default: true).
Use Case:
This indicator is ideal for trend-following traders who want a clear, visual system for entering and exiting trades based on SMA crossovers, with predefined risk and reward levels. It suits both manual and automated trading strategies, providing flexibility to adjust parameters for different markets or timeframes.
Notes:
• The indicator is overlaid on the price chart for easy integration with other analysis tools.
• Users should test and adjust parameters (e.g., MA length, ATR multipliers) to suit their trading style and market conditions.
• The breakeven line is a visual guide; manual adjustment of stops is required as the indicator does not automatically modify trade positions.
This indicator provides a robust framework for disciplined trading with clear entry, exit, and risk management visuals.
IU Martingale StrategyDESCRIPTION
This strategy is a Martingale-based trading system that enters a long position based on simple candle patterns and doubles the position size after each loss. It tracks the worst-case drawdown using a live risk matrix table to help traders visualize the downside. With clear profit and loss points, auto position sizing, and a risk visualization table, it’s perfect for backtesting the Martingale concept directly on charts.
WHAT IS MARTINGALE SYSTEM?
The Martingale system is a position-sizing strategy where you double your trade size after every loss, aiming to recover all previous losses with a single profitable trade. It assumes that a winning trade will eventually occur. While it can be high-risk, it’s often used in controlled environments or with high probability setups.
USER INPUTS
📦 Starting Position: Initial position size for the first trade
📈 Profit Points: Target profit in price points
📉 Loss Points: Stop loss in price points
📊 Show Risk Matrix Table: Enable or disable a live table showing current streak and risk stats
LONG CONDITION
A long trade is triggered when the current candle closes higher than it opened, and no open position exists. The condition is simple and used to simulate market entry for testing the Martingale logic.
// Entry Condition:
close > open and no existing position
LONG EXIT
Each trade has a fixed stop-loss and take-profit, based on the user's input:
Stop Loss = Entry Price − Loss Points
Take Profit = Entry Price + Profit Points
The exit is handled using strategy.exit() with these dynamic values.
WHY IT IS UNIQUE
🔁 Implements a dynamic Martingale position sizing system
📊 Includes a visual Risk Matrix Table tracking losing streaks, max size, and risk
📈 Automatically resets position size after a win
🧠 Smart use of array to manage loss history and control logic
🎯 Customizable SL and TP for each entry
🎨 Beautiful chart visuals for entry, stop loss, and target levels
HOW USER CAN BENEFIT FROM IT
🧪 Test the sustainability of a Martingale system with real chart data
👁️ Visualize the risks and impact of consecutive losses
📈 Explore risk vs. reward scenarios before deploying in real markets
🧰 Use it as a base template to build more advanced Martingale or grid-based systems
📚 Great for educational purposes to understand the mathematical drawdowns involved in doubling strategies
