Price-Action Candles (Lower)What is a swing high or swing low?
Swing highs and lows are price extremes. For example say we set our swing length to 5. A candle that is a swing high with a swing length of 5 will have 5 bars to the left that are lower and 5 bars to the right that are lower. A candle that is a swing low with a swing length of 5 will have 5 bars to the left that are higher and 5 bars to the right that are higher.
How is the trend coloring calculated?
The trend coloring is calculated the exact same way as our trend candles study... by storing and comparing historical swing lows and swing highs.
The pinescript code goes as follows:
The pinescript code goes as follows:
var int trend = na
trend := ((hh and high >= psh) or close > csh) ? 1 : ((ll and low <= psl) or close < csl) ? -1 : lh or hl ? 0 : trend
What does that gibberish mean?
-Trend can be GREEN IF
- We have a higher high (current swing high is greater than the previous swing high) and the high is greater than the previous swing high
- OR The current close is greater than the current swing high
-Trend can be RED IF
- We have a lower low (current swing low is less than the previous swing low) and the low is less than the previous swing low
- OR The current close is less than the current swing low
-Trend can be YELLOW IF
- We have a new swing high and the new swing high is less than the previous swing high
- OR We have a new swing low and the new swing low is greater than the previous swing low
If none of the conditions above are true then we continue with whatever color the previous bar was.
What is repainting?
Repainting is "script behavior causing historical vs realtime calculations or plots to behave differently." That definition comes directly from Tradingview. If you want to read the full explanation you can visit it here www.tradingview.com . The price-action candles use swing highs and swing lows which need bars to the left (past) and bars to the right ("future") in order to confirm the swing level. Because of the need to wait for confirmation for swing levels the plot style can be repainting. The Price-Action Candles (Lower) indicator, or this indicator, has no repainting anywhere. We opt to not shift back the candle coloring which causes the repainting, but it is relevant to discuss since this indicator's sibling (Price-Action Candles) can have repainting labels.
Repaint
Here the labels are shifted back the price-action length. Repainting is not present in the Price-Candles (Lower) study, but can be found in this indicator's sibling (Price-Action Candles).
Non-Repaint
Here the labels are not shifted back or "repainted". Repainting is not present in the Price-Candles (Lower) study, but can be found in this indicator's sibling (Price-Action Candles).
Multi-timeframe Analysis
The users can view multi-timeframe historical price action trend via this lower study. Each timeframe is plotted as its own on the lower pane and you can determine what timeframe it is by the label next to the plot.
More examples
Pair the Price-Action Candles (Lower) indicator with our main price indicator that colors candles based on trend and can show price action labels.
Multitimeframe
MTF External Range Liquidity - SMC IndicatorsThe Multi-Timeframe External Range Liquidity highlights possible “Key Liquidity Zones” above and below Short-Term highs and lows. Allowing for the filtering out of shorter-term swings and easily identifying levels for possible “liquidity runs” or “stop runs”.
Purged Liquidity
This shows areas where the price has already reached above previous key highs or below previous key lows. Recognizing “Purged Liquidity” areas is useful for historical analysis and understanding prior liquidity-driven movements.
Open Liquidity
These mark possible or potential Open Liquidity Zones where the price might reach above or below short-term key highs and lows.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The Multi Timeframe Feature allows traders to have all “key Liquidity Levels” from higher and lower timeframes relative to the current timeframe. (Weekly and down to the 1-Minute Chart) while trading in real-time allowing the trader to keep the higher time frame “levels” in mind when trading on lower time frames.
1W BSL & 1W SSL indicate levels of transposed from the Weekly timeframe to the Daily timeframe or lower.
1D BSL & 1D SSL indicate levels of transposed from the Daily timeframe to the 4H timeframe or lower.
4H BSL & 4H SSL indicate levels of transposed from the 4H timeframe to the 1H timeframe or lower.
1H BSL & 1H SSL indicate levels of transposed from the 1H timeframe to the 15M timeframe or lower.
15M BSL & 15M SSL indicate levels of transposed from the 15M timeframe to the 5M timeframe or lower.
5M BSL & 5M SSL indicate levels of transposed from the 5M timeframe to the timeframes lower than 5M.
How This Can Help with Analysis
Timing Entries
This tool can be used to look for possible entry levels by looking at where the last run on liquidity (Purged Liquidity) above a previous key high or low was. The trader would use this indicator by waiting until the liquidity is purged before looking for a possible trade setup.
This helps in waiting for entries and may avoid or reduce the number of entries where the trade would get stopped due to an early entry.
Setting Possible Targets
This indicator can be used to look for higher time frame “Open Liquidity” key levels above short-term highs or below short-term lows as potential targets.

Unbound RSIUnbound RSI
Description
The Unbound RSI or de-oscillated RSI indicator is a novel technical analysis indicator that combines the concepts of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and moving averages, applied directly over the price chart. This indicator is unique in its approach by transforming the oscillatory nature of the RSI into a format that aligns with the price action, thereby offering a distinctive view of market momentum and trends.
Key Features
Multi-Length RSI Analysis: Incorporates three different lengths of RSI (short, medium, and long), providing insights into the momentum and trend strength at various timeframes.
Deoscillation of RSI: The RSI for each length is 'deoscillated' by adjusting its scale to align with the actual price movements. This is achieved by shifting and scaling the RSI values, effectively merging them with the price line.
Average True Range (ATR) Scaling: The deoscillation process includes scaling by the Average True Range (ATR), making the indicator responsive to the asset’s volatility.
Optional Smoothing: Provides an option to apply a simple moving average (SMA) smoothing to each deoscillated RSI line, reducing noise and highlighting more significant trends.
Dynamic Moving Average (MA) Baseline: Features a moving average calculated from the medium length (default value) de-oscillated RSI, serving as a dynamic baseline to identify overarching trends.
How It’s Different
Unlike standard RSI indicators that oscillate in a fixed range, this indicator transforms the RSI to move in tandem with the price, offering a unique perspective on momentum and trend changes. The use of multiple timeframes for RSI and the inclusion of a dynamic MA baseline provide a multifaceted view of market conditions.
Potential Usage
Trend Identification: The position of the price in relation to the different deoscillated RSI lines and the MA baseline can indicate the prevailing market trend.
Momentum Shifts: Crossovers of the price with the deoscillated RSI lines or the MA baseline can signal potential shifts in momentum, offering entry or exit points.
Volatility Awareness: The ATR-based scaling of the deoscillated RSI lines means the indicator adjusts to changes in volatility, potentially offering more reliable signals in different market conditions.
Comparative Analysis: By comparing the short, medium, and long deoscillated RSI lines, traders can gauge the strength of trends and the convergence or divergence of momentum across timeframes.
Best Practices
Backtesting: Given its novel nature, it’s crucial to backtest the indicator across different assets and market conditions.
Complementary Tools: Combine with other technical analysis tools (like support/resistance levels, other oscillators, volume analysis) for more robust trading signals.
Risk Management: Always use sound risk management strategies, as no single indicator provides foolproof signals.

IMGBasic - HTF Structure / Order Blocks / Breakers - V1.0IMG Indicators Overview
The IMG Indicators are crafted as comprehensive educational tools for price action traders. They incorporate a variety of concepts including:
1. Multiple Timeframe Analysis
2. Order Blocks (OB)
3. Breakers (BRKR)
4. Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
5. Overlaps of OB and FVG
6. Overlaps of BRKR and FVG
7. Analysis of Internal and External Liquidity
8. Strategies for Identifying Potential Entries, Stop-loss, and Target Levels
9. Risk Management and Position Sizing
These Price Action concepts can be applied to any market (Stocks / Options / Forex / Futures / Crypto ) and any timeframe.
Introduction to the IMG Basic Indicator
The IMG Basic Indicator serves as the foundational level within the IMG suite of indicators. Its core function is to acquaint traders with elementary price action concepts such as:
1. Higher Timeframe Market Structures through Multiple Timeframe Analysis
2. Higher Timeframe Order Blocks
3. Higher Timeframe Breakers
4. Breaks in Higher Timeframe Market Structure
Higher Timeframe Market Structure:
Market Structure can be defined using several techniques. The IMG indicators employ the Close through High/Low technique, which necessitates a candle close through a structural level to validate a structural break and designate a new range.
Example: H12 Market Structure visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
By selecting a particular Market Structure timeframe in the settings, the indicator immediately illustrates both current and historical market structures for the chosen timeframe across all subordinate timeframes, subject to the limitations of your Tradingview subscription.
Example: H12 Market Structure visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
Higher Timeframe Order Blocks (OB)
An Order Block represents the last candle of the opposite direction preceding a Market Structure Break. For instance, a bullish Order Block is identified as the final bearish candle leading to a bullish market structure break, and vice versa for bearish Order Blocks.
Example: H12 OB visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
When activated, the indicator will highlight the Higher Timeframe Order Blocks responsible for a Market Structure Break on all subordinate timeframes relative to the chosen Market Structure Timeframe.
Note: if multiple OBs exist, the indicator will display the OB closest to the new range extreme
Example: H12 OB visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
Higher Timeframe Breaker Blocks (BRKR)
A Breaker Block is identified as the most recent Order Block that has been breached by price, followed by an opposite Market Structure Break. For example, a bullish Breaker Block is the last bearish Order Block that price has passed through, followed by a bullish structural break, and the inverse is true for bearish Breakers.
Example: H12 Breaker visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
Once enabled, the system will display Higher Timeframe Breaker Blocks after an opposite Market Structure Break is confirmed on all subordinate timeframes.
Example: H12 Breaker visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
ALERTS: Higher Timeframe Market Structure Breaks (HTF MSBs)
The system provides notifications of confirmed Market Structure Breaks based on the selected Higher Timeframe Market Structure Timeframe. For instance, selecting a weekly structure will trigger an alert when price closes through a weekly structural level, and the same logic applies to other timeframes like D, H12, H4, H1 etc.
To enable alerts, right-click on the indicator and select “Add Alert on IMG ...”. You may customise the alert name as desired and then click 'Create' to finalise the alert setup.
General Note:
There is no system, indicator, algorithm, or strategy that can provide absolute certainty in predicting market movements. Use trading indicators as a tool to assist with trading decisions and manage your risk wisely.

MTF ChartingKey Features
Visual Settings: The script allows customization of the visual aspects of the candlesticks. Traders can select colors for the bodies, borders, and wicks of bullish (rising) and bearish (falling) candles. This customization enhances readability and personal preference alignment.
Timeframe Settings: Traders can choose up to five different timeframes (labeled as HTF 1 to HTF 5) to display on the main chart. For each selected timeframe, traders can specify the number of candlesticks (bars) to display.
Candlestick Representation: The script redraws the candlesticks from the selected timeframes onto the main chart. This redrawing includes the high, low, opening, and closing prices of the candlesticks for each timeframe, providing a multi-dimensional view of market trends.
Labeling: The script includes an option to label each set of candlesticks with their respective timeframe for easy identification.
Practical Usage for Traders
Market Analysis: By displaying candlesticks from different timeframes, traders can analyze the market more comprehensively. For instance, while the main chart might show a short-term trend, the MTF charting can reveal a different longer-term trend, aiding in more informed decision-making.
Trend Confirmation: Viewing multiple timeframes simultaneously helps in confirming trends. If multiple timeframes show a similar trend, it might indicate a stronger, more reliable trend.
Identifying Reversals: The script can be useful in spotting potential trend reversals. For example, if the lower timeframe shows a bearish trend while the higher timeframe remains bullish, it might signal a potential reversal.
Customization for Strategy Alignment: Traders can customize the timeframes and the number of bars to align with their specific trading strategies, whether they are short-term day traders or long-term position traders.
Technical Aspects
The script uses arrays to store and manipulate candlestick data for each timeframe. This approach ensures efficient handling of data and updates.
Examples
- Display up to 5 timeframes on your main price chart. You are able to get a zoomed out view of the market without taking up too much screen real estate.
- Show a lower timeframe on your primary chart. In this instance maybe you primarily look at the 5 minute chart, but like to refine your entries on the 1 minute. Here you can do it with one chart.
- Look at how the daily candle is forming relative to the timeframe that you are currently on. You can more easily spot where price closed and opened on certain days.
PivottrendHi all!
This script is based on the concept of "higher highs and higher lows" and "lower highs and lower lows". Bullish/bearish trend changes when a previous pivot (low in bullish trend and high in bearish trend) is broken (or has equal value). Some settings are customizable by the user:
Timeframe
- You can choose what timeframe the pivots are found on
Left length
- The left length used for the pivots found
Right length
- The right length used for the pivots found
Show labels
- Choose if you want to display buy and sell labels
Show pivots
- Choose if you want to display the pivots found
Show MSS
- Choose if you want to display a line when price breaks a previous pivot
The "look and feel" is inspired by the script "SuperTrend" by KivancOzbilgic ().
Best of trading luck!

FAQs
Why do my alerts sometimes not fire as soon as the candle closes?
This is a limitation with Pine Script's execution model. Indicators are calculated whenever a price or volume change occurs i.e. when a new trade happens. For illiquid or slow moving markets, there may be some time between when a candle closes and the next trade, leading to a delay in the alert triggering. The alert will trigger on the next tick of data on the chart.
Why can't I create more alerts?
TradingView has a limit on the number of active technical alerts you can have based on your membership tier. To configure more alerts, consider upgrading your TradingView plan to a higher tier. See a comparison of TradingView plans at www.tradingview.com
My alert only fired once, how can I get it to keep working?
When configuring the alert in the alert pop-up window, make sure you set "Trigger" to "Once Per Bar" and "Expiration" to "Open-ended alert".

Predictive Indicator Matrix v4 (public)Predictive Indicator Matrix for TradingView
The "Predictive Indicator Matrix" is an advanced analytical tool for TradingView, designed to work across multiple timeframes from 1D to 5m. It employs a complex algorithm combining various technical indicators such as the Ichimoku Cloud, ADX, five EMAs, slow and fast versions of MACD, Stochastic Oscillator, and RSI. This combination is meticulously curated to provide a multifaceted view of the market.
The uniqueness of this script lies in its trigonometric and mathematical logic. It utilizes trigonometric functions, like the arctangent and cosine functions, to calculate the 'bias' and 'score' of market trends, presented in decimal percentages (%). These calculations are pivotal in understanding market dynamics and potential directional changes. The 'bias' is calculated using the cosine of the arctangent of the ratio between current and previous scores, adjusted for market shift. This innovative approach provides a nuanced understanding of market momentum and trend strength.
Furthermore, the script dynamically generates prediction lines based on these calculations. These lines represent potential future market paths, plotted using the current market data and the calculated levels from the matrix. This feature visually represents the script's analysis, offering users an intuitive and actionable insight into potential market movements.
The integration of these indicators, along with the trigonometric calculations, makes the script not only unique but also a powerful tool for traders. It encapsulates various market aspects in one matrix, offering a comprehensive analysis that goes beyond traditional indicator-based strategies.
Additional Features:
The line updates on the first bar close when you load it onto the chart, providing immediate insights into the market.
It also updates on the most recent close of the Update Interval that you choose in the settings. The default setting is on the 1-hour timeframe (1H).
You can now use REPLAY MODE!
Data Options:
Timeframes : Show the timeframe row being analyzed;
Score : Each timeframes' overall score average in %;

Breakout Detector (Previous MTF High Low Levels) [LuxAlgo]The Breakout Detector (Previous MTF High Low Levels) indicator highlights breakouts of previous high/low levels from a higher timeframe.
The indicator is able to: display take-profit/stop-loss levels based on a user selected Win/Loss ratio, detect false breakouts, and display a dashboard with various useful statistics.
Do note that previous high/low levels are subject to backpainting, that is they are drawn retrospectively in their corresponding location. Other elements in the script are not subject to backpainting.
🔶 USAGE
Breakouts occur when the price closes above a previous Higher Timeframe (HTF) High or below a previous HTF Low.
On the advent of a breakout, the closing price acts as an entry level at which a Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) are placed. When a TP or SL level is reached, the SL/TP box border is highlighted.
When there is a breakout in the opposite direction of an active breakout, previous breakout levels stop being updated. Not reaching an SL/TP level will result in a partial loss/win,
which will result in the box being highlighted with a dotted border (default). This can also be set as a dashed or solid border.
Detection of False Breakouts (default on) can be helpful to avoid false positives, these can also be indicative of potential trend reversals.
This indicator contains visualization when a new HTF interval begins (thick vertical grey line) and a dashboard for reviewing the breakout results (both defaults enabled; and can be disabled).
As seen in the example above, the active, open breakout is colored green/red.
You can enable the setting ' Cancel TP/SL at the end of HTF ', which will stop updating previous TP/SL levels on the occurrence of a new HTF interval.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Principles
Every time a new timeframe period starts, the previous high and low are detected of the higher timeframe. On that bar only there won't be a breakout detection.
A breakout is confirmed when the close price breaks the previous HTF high/low
A breakout in the same direction as the active breakout is ignored.
A breakout in the opposite direction stops previous breakout levels from being updated.
Take Profit/Stop Loss, partially or not, will be highlighted in an easily interpretable manner.
🔹 Set Higher Timeframe
There are 2 options for choosing a higher timeframe:
• Choose a specific higher timeframe (in this example, Weekly higher TF on a 4h chart)
• Choose a multiple of the current timeframe (in this example, 75 minutes TF on a 15 min chart - 15 x 5)
Do mind, that when using this option, non-standard TFs can give less desired timeframe changes.
🔹 Setting Win/Loss Levels
The Stop Loss (SL) / Take Profit (TP) setting has 2 options:
W%:L% : A fixed percentage is chosen, for TP and SL.
W:L : In this case L (Loss-part) is set through Loss Settings , W (Win-part) is calculated by multiplying L , for example W : L = 2 : 1, W will be twice as large as the L .
🔹 Loss Settings
The last drawing at the right is still active (colored green/red)
The Loss part can be:
A multiple of the Average True Range (ATR) of the last 200 bars.
A multiple of the Range Cumulative Mean (RCM).
The Latest Swing (with Length setting)
Range Cumulative Mean is the sum of the Candle Range (high - low) divided by its bar index.
🔹 False Breakouts
A False Breakout is confirmed when the price of the bar immediately after the breakout bar returns above/below the breakout level.
🔹 Dashboard
🔶 ALERTS
This publication provides several alerts
Bullish/Bearish Breakout: A new Breakout.
Bullish/Bearish False Breakout: False Breakout detected, 1 bar after the Breakout.
Bullish/Bearish TP: When the TP/profit level has been reached.
Bullish/Bearish Fail: When the SL/stop-loss level has been reached.
Note that when a new Breakout causes the previous Breakout to stop being updated, only an alert is provided of the new Breakout.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Set Higher Timeframe
Option : HTF/Mult
HTF : When HTF is chosen as Option , set the Higher Timeframe (higher than current TF)
Mult : When Mult is chosen as Option , set the multiple of current TF (for example 3, curr. TF 15min -> 45min)
🔹 Set Win/Loss Level
SL/TP : W:L or W%:L%: Set the Win/Loss Ratio (Take Profit/Stop Loss)
• W : L : Set the Ratio of Win (TP) against Loss (SL) . The L level is set at Loss Settings

IchiBot - [SigmaStreet]
The IchiBot Indicator has been used to develop automated trading systems. It leverages the open-source Ichimoku framework provided by Trading View, to enable users to creatively generate over 1 trillion different combinations of trading conditions with the use of multiple timeframes to create unique “signal labels” that can be used to create custom strategies or provide in depth market analysis. At the end of this description, I have provided an example of input settings for a simple scalping strategy that I have back tested on US30 on the 5 minute timeframe.
Overview of the Settings:
The visuals section includes an option to show or hide certain parts of the indicator and change the size of the signal labels plotted on the chart.
Next to the “Signal color on baseline/candles” section, you can choose if you want to see additional signals generations from the most previous plotted label on a color changing baseline, or color changing candles. A color change from gray to blue/red indicate that the conditions from the most previously plotted signal label have been met again.
The next 5 sections are all related to the strategy portion of the indicator, used to aid in the back testing process. These sections are titled “Stop loss”, “Take Profit”, “Trail Stop”, “Trade Settings” and “Trade Schedule”.
The Stop Loss section includes an option to choose between value of “pts”, “atr” (average true range) or “None”. The stop loss value in “pts” is simply a specified number of points or pips from the current entry price of a trade that are input in the “SL” section. If the stop loss type is “atr” the “SL” section is not used and the value is calculated and displaced from the current entry price of a trade based on the atr period multiplied by the atr multiplier.
The take profit section is based on the same logic as the stop loss.
The Trail Stop section includes an option to choose between values “pts” or “None”. If the Trail Stop value is “pts”, a trailing stop loss is activated if a trade moves a point value into profit that exceeds the value of the “Trail Activation”. If the Trail Offset type is “pts”, the trailing stop loss is placed a point value away from the current price that is equal to the “Trail Offset” value.
The trade settings section has two options to either prevent or allow trade reversals and prevent or allow only 1 trade per signal label.
If the “Don’t allow trade reversals” is on, then a currently active trade can not be cancelled by an opposite trade signal. It can only be cancelled by the exit logic selected in the above sections. If the “One trade per signal” is selected, the strategy will only enter a trade if the most recent signal label is different from the last signal label where a trade was entered, or if the most recent signal label is in the opposite direction of the most recent signal label where a trade was entered.
The trade schedule section includes an option to only generate signal labels during the specified time. You can choose between 24/7 which will generate signals without any time restriction, or you can choose a custom time which is based on the America / New York time zone.
The timeframe settings section includes an option to choose “single” or “multiple” timeframes, as well as an option to show every signal label combination (“all”), or only the signal labels with the highest numerical value (“absolute”).
If you select “single” next to “timeframe”, the indicator will show you labels based on trade conditions met from only 1 selected timeframe. If you select “multiple” next to “timeframe”, the indicator is designed to return signal labels based on trade conditions that have been met on at least 2 different timeframes.
If you select “multiple” and “use current timeframe”, the indicator will include labels that always include a minimum of 2 timeframes where 1 timeframe is always the current timeframe. If you unselect the “use current timeframe”, the indicator will include labels with a minimum of 2 timeframes.
If you select “multiple” next to “timeframe” and “all” next to “Show all/absolute labels”, the indicator will show you every possible combination of labels that vary from trade conditions met on a minimum of 2 timeframes, to the maximum number of timeframes selected.
If you select “multiple” next to “timeframe” and “absolute” next to “Show all/absolute labels”, the indicator will only show you labels where the numerical value is equivalent to the maximum number of timeframes selected.
Each signal label provides a number which refers to the number of timeframes used to generate the label, offering insights briefly. Hover over a label to reveal detailed tooltip information that details the exact timeframes used to generate each label.
You can choose all from “Show all/absolute labels” to see every possible combination of trade signals or “absolute” to only see labels that have the highest possible numerical value. Absolute means that every condition selected from every timeframe was calculated to be true at the same time on the same candle.
The next 8 sections are “Current timeframe trade conditions”, “1-minute timeframe trade conditions”, “5-minute timeframe trade conditions”, “15-minute timeframe trade conditions”, “30-minute timeframe trade conditions”, “1-hour timeframe trade conditions”, “4-hour timeframe trade conditions”, “Daily timeframe trade conditions”.
These sections include the same 10 trade conditions, that can be used independently, or in combination with each other. This brings the total number of trade conditions to 70.
The final section includes a standard option to adjust the current Ichimoku values.
Understanding the Calculations:
The term “future” refers to a value that is calculated 26 candles to the right of the most recent closing price.
The term “current” refers to a value that is calculated on the most recent closing price.
The term “past” refers to a value that is calculated 26 candles to the left of the most recent closing price.
Bullish is referred to as “blue” and bearish is referred to as “red”.
Buy Signals:
1. The current closing price is greater than the current cloud value.
2. The future cloud is blue.
3. The current closing price is greater than the current conversion line.
4. The current conversion line is greater than the current baseline.
5. The lagging span is greater than the closing price of the last 25 candles.
6. The lagging span is greater than the past cloud.
7. The lagging span is greater than the past conversion line and the past baseline.
8. The current conversion line is greater than the current cloud.
9. The current baseline is greater than the current cloud.
10. The value of the current cloud to the future cloud is completely blue.
Sell Signals:
1. The current closing price is less than the current cloud value.
2. The future cloud is red.
3. The current closing price is less than the current conversion line.
4. The current conversion line is less than the current baseline.
5. The lagging span is less than the closing price of the last 25 candles.
6. The lagging span is less than the past cloud.
7. The lagging span is less than the past conversion line and the past baseline.
8. The current conversion line is less than the current cloud.
9. The current baseline is less than the current cloud.
10. The value of the current cloud to the future cloud is completely red.
The script enables users to access the value of these 10 trade conditions across the 7 major time frames (1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, Daily, and the current charts time frame) by using the official non repainting request security function provided by Trading View:
f_secSecurity(_src, _res, _exp) =>
request.security(_src, _res, _exp )
This indicator provides up to 70 variables (10 variables X 7 timeframes) that can be used separately, or in combination to generate signal labels.
Enhance your visual analysis with a color-changing baseline and candle colors that adapt to signal shifts, offering an immediate understanding of market trends. The base line will change from gray to blue/red which will reference the most previously plotted signal label. This change in color indicate that the conditions from the most recently plotted signal label have been met once again. Please refer to the example below.
Adjustments to the Ichimoku Indicator:
The script uses a slightly refined version of the Ichimoku indicator to calculate 10 different “trade conditions”. Each trade condition can create 1 bullish signal label and 1 bearish signal label. The calculations are primarily based on “greater than and less than logic” which is standard for signal generation.
In the original Ichimoku calculations, the “Lagging Span” has a default value of 26 periods. In the actual calculations, this input with the title “Lagging Span” is referred to as the “displacement”. When the lagging span is plotted on the chart, it is plotted with an offset value of offset = -displacement + 1 which technically plots the lagging span 25 candles to the left the most recent candle (if you count the most recent closing price as 0 and not 1). The clouds are plotted with an offset of offset = displacement -1 which technically plots the clouds 25 candles to the right of the most recent candle.
I have adjusted the logic of the Ichimoku indicator so the lagging span is still plotted 25 candles to the left of the most recently confirmed candle close, but the cloud is plotted 26 candles to the right of the most recent confirmed candle close.
This seemingly small adjustment of one candle cannot simply be adjusted in the settings of the original Ichimoku indicator since the calculations of the cloud and lagging span displacements are directly affected by the same value (displacement = 26, also known as the “lagging span”). My script is adjusted to make calculations where the lagging span is 25 candles to the left of the most recent candle, and the cloud is displaced 26 candles to the right of the most recent candle.
For example, my scripts logic to detect if the current closing price is over the current cloud is (close > leadLead1 and close > leadLine2 and leadLine1 > leadLine2 . By using a lookback of , the logic assumes that the displaced value is 26 bars to the right of the most recent candle. My script also reflects this logic in the plotted values of the cloud where the offset values are offset = displacement. This adjustment is made without affecting any other part of the Ichimoku indicators calculations, only the displacement of the cloud which directly affects the logic of trade conditioins. This change is a deliberate and necessary function of this script’s logic to generate trade conditions and signal labels.
I’ve removed the conversion line and the lagging span and introduced a 26-period pivot high/low to provide a less cluttered chart. The pivot high/low looks 26 periods to the left and only 1 period to the right. The lagging span and conversion line logic is still built into the framework of the trading signals. If you choose to enable the lagging span, or conversion line.
trading approach, and always test your strategies thoroughly.
The function to generate the "Signal Labels" calculates every single possible combination of the 7 different timeframes which is a total of 127 combinations for bullish signal labels, and 127 combinations for bearish signal labels. This function also provides the necessary criteria for the strategy entry conditions, based on the dynamically calculated values derived from the signal labels themselves. For example: "buy signal on 1 minute and 5 minute timeframe" is considered 1 combination, and "Buy signal on current, 5 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour, 4 hour and daily timeframe" is also considered 1 combination. There are a total of 254 combinations between buy and sell signal labels along with 254 individual variables with their own unique tool tip description. The signal label function alone spans over 1340 lines of code (minus spaces and comments) to specifically account for every possible variable combination. This unique and original function also calculates the signal label "value" which is the number you see on the signal label. This function adjusts the amount of labels plotted, the value and description of all labels based on the timeframe settings "single"/"multiple", the use of "use current timeframe" setting, and the "trade schedule". This signal label function has been a landmark piece of code for me in my endeavor to create and optimize my strategies based on its ability to provide an in depth analysis of the timeframes used when generating signal labels. This function is main reason that this script has been published closed source.

ICT HTF Candles [Source Code] (fadi)Plotting a configurable higher timeframe on current chart's timeframe helps visualize price movement without changing timeframes. It also plots FVG and Volume Imbalance on the higher timeframe for easier visualization.
With ICT concepts, we usually wait for HTF break of structure and then find an entry on a lower timeframe. With this indicator, we can set it to the HTF and watch the develop of price action until the break of structure happens. We can then take an entry on the current timeframe.
Settings
HTF Higher timeframe to plot
Number of candles to display The number of higher timeframe candles to display to the right of current price action
Body/Border/Wick The candle colors for the body, border, and wick
Padding from current candles The distance from current timeframe's candles

BUY/SELL RSI FLIUX v1.0The "BUY/SELL RSI FLUX v1.0" indicator is designed to provide buy and sell signals based on the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and price action in relation to support and resistance levels. It overlays directly on the price chart and includes the following components:
- Support and Resistance Levels: Determined over a specified number of bars (lengthSR), these levels represent potential barriers where price action may stall or reverse.
- ATR (Average True Range): Used to measure market volatility. While it's calculated in the script, it's not visualized on the chart as per the latest modification.
- RSI: The RSI is calculated over a defined period (lengthRSI) and is used to identify overbought or oversold conditions. Buy signals are generated when the RSI is below the oversold threshold (rsiOversold) and the price is above the support level. Conversely, sell signals occur when the RSI is above the overbought threshold (rsiOverbought), the price is below the resistance level, and additionally, the price is below a long-term moving average, which acts as a trend filter.
- Long-Term Moving Average: This moving average is plotted to help identify the prevailing market trend. Sell signals are filtered based on the price's position in relation to this moving average.
- Buy/Sell Signals: Visual representations in the form of shapes are plotted below (for buy) or above (for sell) the price bars to indicate potential entry points.
By combining these elements, the indicator aims to provide high-probability trading signals that align with both the market's momentum and trend.
Predictive Indicator Matrix v2 (public)Predictive Indicator Matrix for TradingView
The "Predictive Indicator Matrix" is an advanced analytical tool for TradingView, designed to work across multiple timeframes from 1D to 5m. It employs a complex algorithm combining various technical indicators such as the Ichimoku Cloud, ADX, five EMAs, slow and fast versions of MACD, Stochastic Oscillator, and RSI. This combination is meticulously curated to provide a multifaceted view of the market.
The uniqueness of this script lies in its trigonometric and mathematical logic. It utilizes trigonometric functions, like the arctangent and cosine functions, to calculate the 'bias' and 'score' of market trends, presented in decimal percentages (%). These calculations are pivotal in understanding market dynamics and potential directional changes. The 'bias' is calculated using the cosine of the arctangent of the ratio between current and previous scores, adjusted for market shift. This innovative approach provides a nuanced understanding of market momentum and trend strength.
Furthermore, the script dynamically generates prediction lines based on these calculations. These lines represent potential future market paths, plotted using the current market data and the calculated levels from the matrix. This feature visually represents the script's analysis, offering users an intuitive and actionable insight into potential market movements.
The integration of these indicators, along with the trigonometric calculations, makes the script not only unique but also a powerful tool for traders. It encapsulates various market aspects in one matrix, offering a comprehensive analysis that goes beyond traditional indicator-based strategies.
Note 1: This tool is intended for market analysis and should not be construed as investment advice.
Note 2: Community engagement is encouraged. For additional features like a time display on the table, please provide feedback in the comments. I am open to incorporating such features to enhance the tool's utility based on user preference.
Vwap MTFExplanatory Note: VWAP Multi-Timeframe Script (Dedicated to Intraday Trading)
Description:
This Pine script has been specifically designed for intraday traders to display the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) from four different timeframes (15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, and daily) on a single TradingView chart. The VWAP is calculated by considering the volume-weighted average price over a specified period, providing a perspective on the market's average value. This script streamlines your analysis by avoiding the need to navigate through multiple timeframes to identify the trend.
Usage Instructions:
Apply the script to your TradingView chart.
The script will showcase the average VWAP for 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, and daily on the current chart.
The color of the VWAP indicates the direction: blue if the VWAP is higher than the previous period, red otherwise.
Parameters:
VWAP Period Length (length): The length of the period used for VWAP calculation. By default, the length is set to 30 bars.
Explanation of VWAP: "This VWAP will be more precise for your analysis and closer to price/volume."
VWAP is a crucial indicator for intraday traders, taking into account transaction volume. It provides a volume-weighted average price over a specified period, assisting traders in evaluating the average value at which an asset has been traded throughout the day. "It can be wise for the self-directed investor to use VWAP in combination with moving averages or other technical indicators to confirm buy and sell signals."
You have the option to change the colors.
Dope DPOThe "Dope DPO" (DDPO) indicator is a technical analysis tool designed for traders to identify trends and potential trend changes in the market. It's based on the concept of the Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO), but with several enhancements for greater versatility and user customization.
Key Features of the Dope DPO Indicator:
Averaging Multiple Periods: The indicator averages the DPO calculations over ten different time periods. This averaging helps in smoothing out the volatility and providing a more comprehensive view of the market trend.
Customizable Smoothing: Users can choose the length of the smoothing as well as the type of moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, or RMA) for smoothing. This allows for flexibility in how the indicator responds to price changes.
Trend Change Detection: The indicator includes a feature to detect changes in the market trend. It does this by comparing the current value of the smoothed DPO to its value a specified number of bars back. This helps in identifying potential reversals or shifts in momentum.
Dynamic Color Coding: The indicator uses color coding (green and red) to visually represent the trend direction. If the smoothed DPO is trending upwards compared to a previous value, the color will be green, indicating bullish momentum. Conversely, a red color signifies bearish momentum.
Horizontal Reference Lines: It includes horizontal lines at specific levels (overbought, zero, and oversold) to provide reference points for interpreting the indicator's values.
Usage:
Traders can use the Dope DPO to gauge the overall market trend and to look for potential entry and exit points based on trend changes.
The color-coded histogram makes it easy to spot when the trend might be reversing, which can be particularly useful in conjunction with other technical analysis tools.
The flexibility in choosing the smoothing method and length allows traders to tailor the indicator to different trading styles and timeframes.
Dual_MACD_trendingINFO:
This indicator is useful for trending assets, as my preference is for low-frequency trading, thus using BTCUSD on 1D/1W chart
In the current implementation I find two possible use cases for the indicator:
- as a stand-alone indicator on the chart which can also fire alerts that can help to determine if we want to manually enter/exit trades based on the signals from it (1D/1W is good for non-automated trading)
- can be used to connect to the Signal input of the TTS (TempalteTradingStrategy) by jason5480 in order to backtest it, thus effectively turning it into a strategy (instructions below in TTS CONNECTIVITY section)
Trading period can be selected from the indicator itself to limit to more interesting periods.
Arrow indications are drawn on the chart to indicate the trading conditions met in the script - light green for HTF crossover, dark green for LTF crossover and orange for LTF crossunder.
Note that the indicator performs best in trending assets and markets, and it is advisable to use additional indicators to filter the trading conditions when market/asset is expected to move sideways.
DETAILS:
It uses a couple of MACD indicators - one from the current timeframe and one from a higher timeframe, as the crossover/crossunder cases of the MACD line and the signal line indicate the potential entry/exit points.
The strategy has the following flow:
- If the weekly MACD is positive (MACD line is over the signal line) we have a trading window.
- If we have a trading window, we buy when the daily macd line crosses AND closes above the signal line.
- If we are in a position, we await the daily MACD to cross AND close under the signal line, and only then place a stop loss under the wick of that closing candle.
The user can select both the higher (HTF) and lower (LTF) timeframes. Preferably the lower timeframe should be the one that the Chart is on for better visualization.
If one to decide to use the indicator as a strategy, it implements the following buy and sell criterias, which are feed to the TTS, but can be also manually managed via adding alerts from this indicator.
Since usually the LTF is preceeding the crossover compared to the HTF, then my interpretation of the strategy and flow that it follows is allowing two different ways to enter a trade:
- crossover (and bar close) of the macd over the signal line in the HIGH TIMEFRAME (no need to look at the LOWER TIMEFRMAE)
- crossover (and bar close) of the macd over the signal line in the LOW TIMEFRAME, as in this case we need to check also that the macd line is over the signal line for the HIGH TIMEFRAME as well (like a regime filter)
The exit of the trade is based on the lower timeframe MACD only, as we create a stop loss equal to the lower wick of the bar, once the macd line crosses below the signal line on that timeframe
SETTINGS:
All of the indicator's settings are for the vanilla/general case.
User can set all of the MACD parameters for both the higher and lower (current) timeframes, currently left to default of the MACD stand-alone indicator itself.
The start-end date is a time filter that can be extermely usefull when backtesting different time periods.
TTS SETTINGS (NEEDED IF USED TO BACKTEST WITH TTS)
The TempalteTradingStrategy is a strategy script developed in Pine by jason5480, which I recommend for quick turn-around of testing different ideas on a proven and tested framework
I cannot give enough credit to the developer for the efforts put in building of the infrastructure, so I advice everyone that wants to use it first to get familiar with the concept and by checking
by checking jason5480's profile www.tradingview.com
The TTS itself is extremely functional and have a lot of properties, so its functionality is beyond the scope of the current script -
Again, I strongly recommend to be thoroughly epxlored by everyone that plans on using it.
In the nutshell it is a script that can be feed with buy/sell signals from an external indicator script and based on many configuration options it can determine how to execute the trades.
The TTS has many settings that can be applied, so below I will cover only the ones that differ from the default ones, at least according to my testing - do your own research, you may find something even better :)
The current/latest version that I've been using as of writing and testing this script is TTSv48
Settings which differ from the default ones:
- from - False (time filter is from the indicator script itself)
- Deal Conditions Mode - External (take enter/exit conditions from an external script)
- 🔌Signal 🛈➡ - Dual_MACD: 🔌Signal to TTSv48 (this is the output from the indicator script, according to the TTS convention)
- Sat/Sun - true (for crypto, in order to trade 24/7)
- Order Type - STOP (perform stop order)
- Distance Method - HHLL (HigherHighLowerLow - in order to set the SL according to the strategy definition from above)
The next are just personal preferenes, you can feel free to experiment according to your trading style
- Take Profit Targets - 0 (either 100% in or out, no incremental stepping in or out of positions)
- Dist Mul|Len Long/Short- 10 (make sure that we don't close on profitable trades by any reason)
- Quantity Method - EQUITY (personal backtesting preference is to consider each backtest as a separate portfolio, so determine the position size by 100% of the allocated equity size)
- Equity % - 100 (note above)
EXAMPLES:
If used as a stand-alone indicator, the green arrows on the bottom will represent:
- light green - MACD line crossover signal line in the HTF
- darker green - MACD line crossover signal line in the LTF
- orange - MACD line crossunder signal line in the LTF
I recommend enabling the alerts from the script to cover those cases.
If used as an input to the TTS, we'll get more decorations on the chart from the TTS itself.
In the example below we open a trade on the next day of LTF crossover, then a few days later a crossunder in the LTF occurs, so we set a SL at the low of the wick of this day. Few days later the price doesn't recover and hits that SL, so the position is closed.
High and low of last D, W, 4W and quaterThis script shows you the Highs and Lows from multiple candels from some different timeframes. They are the 1D, 1W, 4W (a month basically), and 3M (a quater). The indicator offery you many customization option to make it look how you like it best
