Indicator Description: Contrarian Market Structure BreakOverview
The "Contrarian Market Structure Break" indicator is a versatile tool tailored for traders seeking to identify potential reversal opportunities by analyzing market structure across multiple timeframes. Built on Institutional Concepts of Structure (ICT), this indicator detects Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) patterns across short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term swings, plotting them with customizable lines and labels. It generates contrarian buy and sell signals when price breaks key swing levels, with a unique "Blue Dot Tracker" to monitor consecutive buy signals for trend confirmation. Optimized for the daily timeframe, this indicator is adaptable to other timeframes with proper testing, making it ideal for traders of forex, stocks, or cryptocurrencies.
How It Works
The indicator combines three key components to provide a comprehensive view of market dynamics: Multi-Timeframe Market Structure Analysis: It identifies swing highs and lows across short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term periods, plotting BOS (continuation) and CHoCH (reversal) events with customizable line styles and labels.
Contrarian Signal Generation: Buy and sell signals are triggered when the price crosses below swing lows (buy) or above swing highs (sell), indicating potential reversals in overextended markets.
Blue Dot Tracker: A unique feature that counts consecutive buy signals ("blue dots") and highlights a "Hold Investment" state with a yellow background when three or more buy signals occur, suggesting a potential trend continuation.
Signals are visualized as small circles below (buy) or above (sell) price bars, and a table in the bottom-right corner displays the blue dot count and recommended action (Hold or Flip Investment), enhancing decision-making clarity.
Mathematical Concepts Swing Detection: The indicator identifies swing highs and lows by comparing price patterns over three bars, ensuring robust detection of pivot points. A swing high occurs when the middle bar’s high is higher than the surrounding bars, and a swing low occurs when the middle bar’s low is lower.
Market Structure Logic: BOS is detected when the price breaks a prior swing high (bullish) or low (bearish) in the direction of the current trend, while CHoCH signals a potential reversal when the price breaks a swing level against the trend. These are calculated across three timeframes for a multi-dimensional perspective.
Blue Dot Tracker: This feature counts consecutive buy signals and tracks the entry price. If three or more buy signals occur without a sell signal, the indicator enters a "Hold Investment" state, marked by a yellow background, until the price exceeds the entry price or a sell signal occurs.
Entry and Exit Rules Buy Signal (Blue Dot Below Bar): Triggered when the closing price crosses below a swing low on either the intermediate-term or long-term timeframe, suggesting an oversold condition and potential reversal upward. Short-term signals can be enabled but are disabled by default to reduce noise.
Sell Signal (White Dot Above Bar): Triggered when the closing price crosses above a swing high on either the intermediate-term or long-term timeframe, indicating an overbought condition and potential reversal downward.
Blue Dot Tracker Logic: After a buy signal, the indicator increments a blue dot counter and records the entry price. If three or more consecutive buy signals occur (blueDotCount ≥ 3), the indicator enters a "Hold Investment" state, highlighted with a yellow background, suggesting a potential trend continuation. The "Hold Investment" state ends when the price exceeds the entry price or a sell signal occurs, resetting the counter.
Exit Rules: Traders can exit buy positions when a sell signal appears, the price exceeds the entry price during a "Hold Investment" state, or based on additional confirmation from BOS/CHoCH patterns or other technical analysis tools. Always use proper risk management.
Recommended Usage
The indicator is optimized for the daily timeframe, where it effectively captures significant reversal and continuation patterns in trending or ranging markets. It can be adapted to other timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, 15M) with careful testing of settings, particularly enabling/disabling short-term structure analysis to suit market conditions. Backtesting is recommended to optimize performance for your chosen asset and timeframe.
Customization Options Market Structure Display: Toggle short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term structures on or off, with customizable line styles (solid, dashed, dotted) and colors for bullish and bearish breaks.
Labels: Enable or disable BOS/CHoCH labels for each timeframe to reduce chart clutter.
Signal Visibility: Hide buy/sell signals if desired for a cleaner chart.
Blue Dot Tracker: Monitor the blue dot count and action (Hold or Flip Investment) via the table display, which is fully customizable in terms of position and appearance.
Why Use This Indicator?
The "Contrarian Market Structure Break" indicator offers a robust framework for identifying high-probability reversal and continuation setups using ICT principles. Its multi-timeframe analysis, clear signal visualization, and innovative Blue Dot Tracker provide traders with actionable insights into market dynamics. Whether you're a swing trader or a day trader, this indicator’s flexibility and intuitive design make it a valuable addition to your trading arsenal.

Multitimeframe
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.
Auto LevelsSimple auto level tracker that automatically detects and plots the high/low for the current week, day, and month, as well as the previous week/day/month.
Includes a built-in dashboard that shows how close or far price is from each level, along with directional guidance (above/below). The closest level to current price is automatically highlighted for quick awareness.
Everything is fully toggleable to only show the levels and info that is needed.
Candle Range Theory (CRT) indicator📌 Indicator Name: Candle Range Theory (CRT) indicator
This indicator detects potential bullish and bearish reversal setups based on specific candlestick price action behavior. It is designed to highlight moments when the market may be rejecting extremes and preparing to reverse direction — but only after confirmation with the closing price.
🔍 How It Works:
Bullish Setup (Long Signal):
The previous candle is bearish (closes lower than it opens).
The current candle makes a lower low than the previous one.
The current candle closes above the previous candle’s close.
Bearish Setup (Short Signal):
The previous candle is bullish (closes higher than it opens).
The current candle makes a higher high than the previous one.
The current candle closes below the previous candle’s close.
Signals are only triggered after the bar is fully closed, to avoid premature entries.
🔔 The script includes alert conditions for both long and short setups so you can receive notifications instantly.
🎥 Inspiration:
The idea for this indicator came from the excellent educational content presented in this video:

HTF Candle Extremes Zigzag (Drawn on LTF)HTF Candle Extremes Zigzag (Drawn on LTF)
This indicator plots zigzag lines connecting the extremes (highs and lows) of Higher Timeframe (HTF) candles directly on your lower timeframe (LTF) chart. It visually highlights trend changes and HTF candle structure by drawing colored lines representing uptrends and downtrends based on HTF candle extremes.
"Key Features"
Higher Timeframe Tracking: Select any HTF to track candle extremes using the built-in security function.
Zigzag Lines: Connects HTF candle lows to highs in an intuitive zigzag pattern.
Trend Indication: Uptrend lines are green, downtrend lines are red (customizable colors).
Customizable Line Width: Adjust the thickness of the zigzag lines for better visibility.
Drawn on Lower Timeframe: All lines appear on your active lower timeframe chart, allowing easy visual correlation.
"How It Works"
The script fetches the open, high, low, close, and time data of the specified HTF candle. It detects new HTF bars and identifies trend direction changes by comparing the highs and lows of consecutive HTF candles.
- When an uptrend is detected, vertical lines are drawn from low to high of the HTF candle, connected to the previous extreme low.
- When a downtrend is detected, vertical lines are drawn from high to low, connected to the previous extreme high.
- Transitions between trends are highlighted by connecting the last extreme of the previous trend to the current extreme, creating a clean zigzag pattern.
Usage Notes:
Ideal for traders who want to visualize HTF market structure and trend changes while analyzing price action on lower timeframes.

MTF Candles [Fadi x MMT]MTF Candles
Overview
The MTF Candles indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who want to visualize higher timeframe (HTF) candles directly on their current chart. Built with flexibility and precision in mind, this Pine Script indicator displays up to six higher timeframe candles, complete with customizable styling, sweeps, midpoints, fair value gaps (FVGs), volume imbalances, and trace lines. It’s perfect for multi-timeframe analysis, helping traders identify key levels, market structure, and potential trading opportunities with ease.
Key Features
- Multi-Timeframe Candles : Display up to six higher timeframe candles (e.g., 5m, 15m, 30m, 4H, 1D, 1W) on your chart, with configurable timeframes and visibility.
- Sweeps Detection : Identify liquidity sweeps (highs/lows) with customizable line styles, widths, and colors, plus optional alerts for confirmed bullish or bearish sweeps.
- Midpoint Lines : Plot the midpoint (average of high and low) of the previous HTF candle, with customizable color, width, and style for enhanced market analysis.
- Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) : Highlight gaps between non-adjacent candles, indicating potential areas of interest for price action.
- Volume Imbalances : Detect and display volume imbalances between adjacent candles, aiding in spotting significant price levels.
- Trace Lines : Connect HTF candle open, close, high, and low prices to their respective chart bars, with customizable styles and optional price labels.

- Highly Customizable : Fine-tune candle appearance, spacing, padding, and visual elements to suit your trading style.
How It Works
The indicator renders HTF candles as boxes (bodies) and lines (wicks) on the right side of the chart, with each timeframe offset for clarity. It dynamically updates candles in real-time, tracks their highs and lows, and displays sweeps and midpoints when conditions are met. FVGs and volume imbalances are calculated based on candle relationships, and trace lines link HTF candle levels to their originating bars on the chart.
Sweep Logic
- A bearish sweep occurs when the current candle’s high exceeds the previous candle’s high, but the close is below it.
- A bullish sweep occurs when the current candle’s low falls below the previous candle’s low, but the close is above it.
- Sweeps are visualized as horizontal lines and can trigger alerts when confirmed on the next candle.
Midpoint Logic
- A midpoint line is drawn at the average of the previous HTF candle’s high and low, extending until the next HTF candle forms.
- Useful for identifying potential support/resistance or mean reversion levels.
Imbalance Detection
- FVGs : Identified when a candle’s low is above the next-but-one candle’s high (or vice versa), indicating a price gap.
- Volume Imbalances : Detected between adjacent candles where the body of one candle doesn’t overlap with the next, signaling potential liquidity zones.

EMA-Pack MTFEMA-Pack MTF
This TradingView Pine Script defines a custom indicator called "EMA-Pack MTF" that overlays various types of moving averages and Bollinger Bands across multiple timeframes on a chart. It begins by importing the built-in technical analysis library and defining a custom ma function that calculates several types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, TEMA, DEMA, HMA, and ALMA) based on user input. The ema function is the core logic, retrieving market data for the specified timeframe and calculating fast, mid, slow, 50, 100, and 200-period moving averages along with Bollinger Band components (basis, upper, and lower bands). The function adjusts values to the nearest valid price tick and returns them.
User input fields allow customization of timeframes, source data, moving average types, and Bollinger Band parameters. The script calls the ema function for each selected timeframe (1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, and 1 day), storing their respective computed values. It then plots the calculated moving averages and Bollinger Band basis lines on the chart, using different colors and line widths to distinguish between them. Some plots are hidden by default (display.none) to reduce chart clutter. This script is useful for multi-timeframe trend analysis using customizable moving averages and Bollinger Bands.
Super Neema!🟧 Super Neema! — Multi-Timeframe EMA-9 Overlay
🔍 What is "Neema"?
The term "Neema" has recently emerged among traders such as Jeff Holden—a top proprietary trading firm trader—whose colleagues colloquially use "Neema" as shorthand for the 9-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Due to its increasing popularity and reliability, the phrase caught on quickly as traders needed a quick, memorable name for such an essential tool.
📚 Why the 9-EMA?
Scalping around the 9-EMA is now one of the most widely used intraday trading techniques. Traders of various experience levels frequently rely on it because it effectively highlights short-term momentum shifts.
But there's a crucial nuance: traders across different assets or market periods don't always agree on which timeframe’s 9-EMA to follow. Depending on who's currently active in the market, the dominant "Neema" could be the 1-minute, 2-minute, 3-minute, or 5-minute 9-EMA. This variation arises naturally due to differences in trader populations, risk tolerance, style, and current market conditions.
👥 Social Convention & Normative Social Influence
Trading is fundamentally a social activity, and normative social influence plays a critical role in market behavior. Traders don’t operate in isolation; they follow patterns, respond to cues, and rely on shared conventions. The popularity of any given indicator—like the 9-EMA—is not just technical, but deeply social. Traders adapt to what's socially accepted, recognizable, and effective.
Over time, these conventions shift. What once was "the standard" timeframe can subtly evolve as dominant traders or institutions shift their preferred style or timeframe, creating "variants" of established trends. Understanding this dynamic is essential for market participants because recognizing where the majority of traders currently focus gives a critical edge.
📈 Why Does This Matter? (Market Evolution & Trader Adaptability)
Market trends aren't just technical—they're social constructs. As markets evolve, participants adapt their methods to fit new norms. Traders who recognize and adapt quickly to these evolving norms gain a decisive advantage.
By clearly visualizing multiple Neemas (9-EMAs across timeframes) simultaneously, you don't merely see EMA levels—you visually sense the current social convention of the market. This heightened awareness helps you stay adaptive and flexible, aligning your strategy dynamically with the broader community of traders.
🎨 Transparency Scheme (Visual Identification):
5-minute Neema: Most opaque, brightest line (slowest, most significant trend)
3-minute Neema: Slightly more transparent
2-minute Neema: Even more transparent
1-minute Neema: Most transparent, subtle background hint (fastest, quickest reaction)
This deliberate visual hierarchy makes it intuitive to identify immediately which timeframe is currently dominant, and therefore, which timeframe other traders are using most actively.
✅ Works on:
Any timeframe, any chart. Automatically plots the 1m–5m EMA-9 lines regardless of your current chart.
🧠 Key Insight:
Markets are driven by social trends and normative influence.
Identifying the currently dominant timeframe (the Neema most respected by traders at that moment) is a powerful, socially-informed edge.
Trader adaptability isn't just technical—it's social awareness in action.
Enjoy your trading, and welcome to Super Neema! ⚡
Multy Dynamic POCThis script displays up to 4 independent Point of Control (POC) levels based on volume profile logic.
📌 Each POC can be configured individually:
Period options: Daily (D), Weekly (W), Monthly (M), or BARS (rolling bar window).
Dynamic recalculation when the period changes (e.g., new day/week/month or custom bar count).
Price-anchored lines for each POC level that scale correctly with the chart.
Customizable line color and thickness.
🔍 How it works:
For each active POC line, the script builds a simple volume distribution based on the candle’s average price (hl2) and volume.
The price range is split into 100 buckets. The one with the highest accumulated volume is selected as the Point of Control (POC).
In BARS mode, POC is recalculated every N bars. In D/W/M modes, it resets exactly at the beginning of a new period (according to TradingView’s time() function).
✅ Useful for:
Traders applying volume profile analysis without needing the full built-in volume profile tool.
Spotting dynamic high-volume zones in trends or ranges.
Strategy development or confirmation around high-interest price levels.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Данный индикатор отображает до 4 независимых уровней Point of Control (POC), рассчитанных по объёмам.
📌 Каждый POC можно настраивать отдельно:
Периоды: День (D), Неделя (W), Месяц (M) или BARS (скользящее окно по количеству баров).
Автоматический пересчёт при смене периода (например, новый день, неделя или месяц).
Линии POC привязаны к цене и масштабируются вместе с графиком.
Настраиваемый цвет и толщина линий.
🔍 Как работает:
Для каждой активной линии POC создаётся объёмное распределение: берется средняя цена свечи (hl2) и объем.
Диапазон цен делится на 100 уровней. Тот, где накоплено больше всего объёма, и есть POC.
В режиме BARS уровень пересчитывается каждые N баров. В режимах D/W/M — строго в начале нового периода.
✅ Подходит для:
Трейдеров, использующих объёмный анализ, но не имеющих платной подписки на Volume Profile.
Поиска уровней интереса и подтверждения сигналов.
Разработки стратегий с опорой на объём.

Range Bar Gaps DetectorRange Bar Gaps Detector
Overview
The Range Bar Gaps Detector identifies price gaps across multiple range bar sizes (12, 24, 60, and 120) on any trading instrument, helping traders spot potential support/resistance zones or breakout opportunities. Designed for Pine Script v6, this indicator detects gaps on range bars and exports data for use in companion scripts like Range Bar Gaps Overlap, making it ideal for multi-timeframe gap analysis.
Key Features
Multi-Range Gap Detection: Identifies gaps on 12, 24, 60, and 120-range bars, capturing both bullish (gap up) and bearish (gap down) price movements.
Customizable Sensitivity: Includes a user-defined minimum deviation (default: 10% of 14-period SMA) for 12-range gaps to filter out noise.
7-Day Lookback: Automatically prunes gaps older than 7 days to focus on recent, relevant price levels.
Data Export: Serializes up to 10 gaps per range (tops, bottoms, start bars, highest/lowest prices, and age) for seamless integration with overlap analysis scripts.
Debugging Support: Plots gap counts and aggregation data in the Data Window for easy verification of detected gaps.
How It Works
The indicator aggregates price movements to simulate higher range bars (24, 60, 120) from a base range bar chart. It detects gaps when the price jumps significantly between bars, ensuring gaps meet the minimum deviation threshold for 12-range bars. Gaps are stored in arrays, serialized for external use, and pruned after 7 days to maintain efficiency.
Usage
Add to your range bar chart (e.g., 12-range) to detect gaps across multiple ranges.
Use alongside the Range Bar Gaps Overlap indicator to visualize gaps and their overlaps as boxes on the chart.
Check the Data Window to confirm gap counts and sizes for each range (12, 24, 60, 120).
Adjust the "Minimal Deviation (%) for 12-Range" input to control gap detection sensitivity.
Settings
Minimal Deviation (%) for 12-Range: Set the minimum gap size for 12-range bars (default: 10% of 14-period SMA).
Range Sizes: Fixed at 24, 60, and 120 for higher range bar aggregation.
Notes
Ensure the script is published under your TradingView username (e.g., GreenArrow2005) for use with companion scripts.
Best used on range bar charts to maintain consistent gap detection.
For advanced overlap analysis, pair with the Range Bar Gaps Overlap indicator to highlight zones where gaps from different ranges align.
Ideal For
Traders seeking to identify key price levels for support/resistance or breakout strategies.
Multi-timeframe analysts combining gap data across various range bar sizes.
Developers building custom indicators that leverage gap data for advanced charting.
SMA Crossing Background Color (Multi-Timeframe)When day trading or scalping on lower timeframes, it’s often difficult to determine whether the broader market trend is moving upward or downward. To address this, I usually check higher timeframes. However, splitting the layout makes the charts too small and hard to read.
To solve this issue, I created an indicator that uses the background color to show whether the current price is above or below a moving average from a higher timeframe.
For example, if you set the SMA Length to 200 and the MT Timeframe to 5 minutes, the indicator will display a red background on the 1-minute chart when the price drops below the 200 SMA on the 5-minute chart. This helps you quickly recognize that the trend on the higher timeframe has turned bearish—without having to open a separate chart.
デイトレード、スキャルピングで短いタイムフレームでトレードをするときに、大きな動きは上に向いているのか下に向いているのかトレンドがわからなくなることがあります。
その時に上位足を確認するのですが、レイアウトをスプリットすると画面が小さくて見えにくくなるので、バックグラウンドの色で上位足の移動平均線では価格が上なのか下なのかを表示させるインジケーターを作りました。
例えば、SMA Length で200を選び、MT Timeframeで5分を選べば、1分足タイムフレームでトレードしていて雲行きが怪しくなってくるとBGが赤になり、5分足では200線以下に突入しているようだと把握することができます。
Two Poles Trend Finder MTF [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Two Poles Trend Finder MTF is a refined trend-following overlay that blends a two-pole Gaussian filter with a multi-timeframe dashboard. It provides a smooth view of price dynamics along with a clear summary of trend directions across multiple timeframes—perfect for traders seeking alignment between short and long-term momentum.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Two-Pole Filter: A smoothing algorithm that responds faster than traditional moving averages but avoids the noise of short-term fluctuations.
var float f = na
var float f_prev1 = na
var float f_prev2 = na
// Apply two-pole Gaussian filter
if bar_index >= 2
f := math.pow(alpha, 2) * source + 2 * (1 - alpha) * f_prev1 - math.pow(1 - alpha, 2) * f_prev2
else
f := source // Warm-up for first bars
// Shift state
f_prev2 := f_prev1
f_prev1 := f
Trend Detection Logic: Trend direction is determined by comparing the current filtered value with its value n bars ago (shifted comparison).
MTF Alignment Dashboard: Trends from 5 configurable timeframes are monitored and visualized as colored boxes:
• Green = Uptrend
• Magenta = Downtrend
Summary Arrow: An average trend score from all timeframes is used to plot an overall arrow next to the asset name.
🔵 FEATURES
Two-Pole Gaussian Filter offers ultra-smooth trend curves while maintaining responsiveness.
Multi-Timeframe Trend Detection:
• Default: 1H, 2H, 4H, 12H, 1D (fully customizable)
• Each timeframe is assessed independently using the same trend logic.
Visual Trend Dashboard positioned at the bottom-right of the chart with color-coded trend blocks.
Dynamic Summary Arrow shows overall market bias (🢁 / 🢃) based on majority of uptrends/downtrends.
Bold + wide trail plot for the filter value with gradient coloring based on directional bias.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use the multi-timeframe dashboard to identify aligned trends across your preferred trading horizons.
Confirm trend strength or weakness by observing filter slope direction .
Look for dashboard consensus (e.g., 4 or more timeframes green] ) as confirmation for breakout, continuation, or trend reentry strategies.
Combine with volume or price structure to enhance entry timing.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Two Poles Trend Finder MTF delivers a clean and intuitive trend-following solution with built-in multi-timeframe awareness. Whether you’re trading intra-day or positioning for swing setups, this tool helps filter out market noise and keeps you focused on directional consensus.
Your trading time period background fillThis script allows you to add background highlights to charts during any regional trading session, customize your own trading time, and is precise and customizable yet simple and easy to use, making it more convenient to review transactions.
Support global mainstream time zones: The drop-down list includes 30 commonly used IANA time zones (default is Asia/Shanghai) (such as Asia/Shanghai, America/New_York, Europe/London, etc.), one-click switching, no need to manually calculate the time difference.
Fully localized time input: "Start hour/minute" and "End hour/minute" are filled in with the local time of the selected time zone. The end hour defaults to 23:00 and can be adjusted to 0-23 at will.
Accurate time difference splitting: The script internally splits the time zone offset into whole hours and remainder minutes (supports half-hour zones, such as UTC+5:30), and ensures that all parameters are integers when calling timestamp to avoid errors.
Dynamic background rendering: Each K-line is judged according to the UTC timestamp whether it falls within the set range. If it meets the time period, it will be marked with a semi-transparent green background, and it will return to its original state after crossing the time period, helping you to identify the opening, closing or active period of any market at a glance.
Wide range of scenarios: It can be used for time-sharing highlighting of all-weather varieties of foreign exchange and cryptocurrency, and can also be used in conjunction with backtesting and timing strategies to only send signals during the active period of the target market, greatly improving trading efficiency and strategy accuracy.
Just select the region and set the time, and the script will automatically complete all complex time zone conversions and drawing, allowing you to focus on the transaction itself.
Multi-Timeframe PivotDescription:
This script provides an advanced tool for multi-timeframe pivot point
analysis. It identifies swing points based on a candle's relationship to
its neighbors. The default strength settings of 1 align with the Inner
Circle Trader (ICT) concept of market structure.
The ICT concept defines a swing point based on a simple 3-candle pattern:
- A swing high is a candle where the candles to the immediate left and right
both have lower highs.
- A swing low is a candle where the candles to the immediate left and right
both have higher lows.
A key feature is its ability to accurately calculate and translate pivot
points from up to five higher timeframes (HTFs) and display them
precisely on a lower timeframe (LTF) chart.
NOTE: This indicator is designed to show HTF data on an LTF chart.
If you select a timeframe in the settings that is lower than your
current chart's timeframe, it will show pivots for the chart's
timeframe instead.
Core Features:
- Up to five independent higher timeframes.
- Per-timeframe customization for pivot strength (left/right bars) and color.
- Optional "Watchlines" that project the price of each pivot forward,
complete with a text label identifying the timeframe.
- An optional "Alignment Model" that colors the background when price is
aligned across all active timeframes (requires at least 2 TFs to be enabled).
Default State:
For a clean initial application, the Watchlines and Alignment Model features
are disabled by default but can be enabled in the settings.
ATR Stop-Loss with Fibonacci Take-Profit [jpkxyz]ATR Stop-Loss with Fibonacci Take-Profit Indicator
This comprehensive indicator combines Average True Range (ATR) volatility analysis with Fibonacci extensions to create dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels. It's designed to help traders set precise risk management levels and profit targets based on market volatility and mathematical ratios.
Two Operating Modes
Default Mode (Rolling Levels)
In default mode, the indicator continuously plots evolving stop-loss and take-profit levels based on real-time price action. These levels update dynamically as new bars form, creating rolling horizontal lines across the chart. I use this mode primarily to plot the rolling ATR-Level which I use to trail my Stop-Loss into profit.
Characteristics:
Levels recalculate with each new bar
All selected Fibonacci levels display simultaneously
Uses plot() functions with trackprice=true for price tracking
Custom Anchor Mode (Fixed Levels)
This is the primary mode for precision trading. You select a specific timestamp (typically your entry bar), and the indicator locks all calculations to that exact moment, creating fixed horizontal lines that represent your actual trade levels.
Characteristics:
Entry line (blue) marks your anchor point
Stop-loss calculated using ATR from the anchor bar
Fibonacci levels projected from entry-to-stop distance
Lines terminate when price breaks through them
Includes comprehensive alert system
Core Calculation Logic
ATR Stop-Loss Calculation:
Stop Loss = Entry Price ± (ATR × Multiplier)
Long positions: SL = Entry - (ATR × Multiplier)
Short positions: SL = Entry + (ATR × Multiplier)
ATR uses your chosen smoothing method (RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA)
Default multiplier is 1.5, adjustable to your risk tolerance
Fibonacci Take-Profit Projection:
The distance from entry to stop-loss becomes the base unit (1.0) for Fibonacci extensions:
TP Level = Entry + (Entry-to-SL Distance × Fibonacci Ratio)
Available Fibonacci Levels:
Conservative: 0.618, 1.0, 1.618
Extended: 2.618, 3.618, 4.618
Complete range: 0.0 to 4.764 (23 levels total)
Multi-Timeframe Functionality
One of the indicator's most powerful features is timeframe flexibility. You can analyze on one timeframe while using stop-loss and take-profit calculations from another.
Best Practices:
Identify your entry point on execution timeframe
Enable "Custom Anchor" mode
Set anchor timestamp to your entry bar
Select appropriate analysis timeframe
Choose relevant Fibonacci levels
Enable alerts for automated notifications
Example Scenario:
Analyse trend on 4-hour chart
Execute entry on 5-minute chart for precision
Set custom anchor to your 5-minute entry bar
Configure timeframe setting to "4h" for swing-level targets
Select appropriate Fibonacci Extension levels
Result: Precise entry with larger timeframe risk management
Visual Intelligence System
Line Behaviour in Custom Anchor Mode:
Active levels: Lines extend to the right edge
Hit levels: Lines terminate at the breaking bar
Entry line: Always visible in blue
Stop-loss: Red line, terminates when hit
Take-profits: Green lines (1.618 level in gold for emphasis)
Customisation Options:
Line width (1-4 pixels)
Show/hide individual Fibonacci levels
ATR length and smoothing method
ATR multiplier for stop-loss distance
Intra-bar Close/Open Gap [YuL]Just checking one idea: look at gaps between close and open bars on lower timeframe to try to estimate how much slippage exists there that may be a result of buying or selling pressure.
Perhaps it only useful in real time to see if situation of the current bar is changing.
Open to ideas and suggestions.
EMA Trend Dashboard
Trend Indicator using 3 custom EMA lines. Displays a table with 5 rows(position configurable)
-First line shows relative position of EMA lines to each other and outputs Bull, Weak Bull, Flat, Weak Bear, or Bear. EMA line1 should be less than EMA line2 and EMA line 2 should be less than EMA line3. Default is 9,21,50.
-Second through fourth line shows the slant of each EMA line. Up, Down, or Flat. Threshold for what is considered a slant is configurable. Also added a "steep" threshold configuration for steep slants.
-Fifth line shows exhaustion and is a simple, configurable calculation of the distance between EMA line1 and EMA line2.
--Lines one and five change depending on its value but ALL other colors are able to be changed.
--Default is somewhat set to work well with Micro E-mini Futures but this indicator can be changed to work on anything. I created it to help get a quick overview of short-term trend on futures. I used ChatGPT to help but I am still not sure if it actually took longer because of it.
Normalized Volume IndexIn the realm of technical analysis, volume is more than just a measure of market activity—it’s a window into trader psychology. Two classic indicators that harness this insight are the Positive Volume Index (PVI) and Negative Volume Index (NVI). Developed in the early 20th century by Paul L. Dysart and later refined by Norman G. Fosback in 1976, these tools aim to distinguish between the behavior of the so-called “smart money” and the broader market crowd.
- Positive Volume Index (PVI) tracks price changes only on days when trading volume increases. It assumes that rising volume reflects the actions of less-informed retail traders—those who follow the herd.
- Negative Volume Index (NVI), on the other hand, focuses on days when volume decreases, under the premise that institutional investors (the “smart money”) are more active when the market is quiet.
This dichotomy allows traders to interpret market sentiment through the lens of volume behavior. For example, a rising NVI during a price uptrend may suggest that institutional investors are quietly accumulating positions—often a bullish signal.
Traders use PVI and NVI to:
- Confirm trends: If NVI is above its moving average, it often signals a strong underlying trend supported by smart money.
- Spot reversals: Divergences between price and either index can hint at weakening momentum or upcoming reversals.
- Gauge participation: PVI rising faster than price may indicate overenthusiastic retail buying—potentially a contrarian signal.
These indicators are often paired with moving averages (e.g., 255-day EMA) to generate actionable signals. Fosback’s research suggested that when NVI is above its one-year EMA, there’s a high probability of a bull market.
While PVI and NVI are cumulative indices, normalizing them—for example, by rebasing to 100 or converting to percentage changes—offers several benefits:
- Comparability: Normalized indices can be compared across different assets or timeframes.
- Clarity: It becomes easier to visualize relative strength or weakness.
- Backtesting: Normalized values are more suitable for algorithmic strategies and statistical analysis.
Normalization also helps when combining PVI/NVI with other indicators in multi-factor models, ensuring no single metric dominates due to scale differences
In essence, PVI and NVI offer a nuanced view of market dynamics by separating the noise of volume surges from the quiet confidence of institutional moves. When normalized and interpreted correctly, they become powerful allies in a trader’s decision-making toolkit.
How to use this (Educational material):
For instance, on average, when the Negative Volume Index (NVI) remains above its midline, the market tends to trend positively, reflecting consistent institutional participation. However, when the NVI dips and stays below the midline, it often signals a negative trend, indicating that smart money is stepping away or reducing exposure.
Another telling scenario occurs when the Positive Volume Index (PVI) drops below the NVI. While this might coincide with a brief price dip, institutions often interpret this as an opportunity to buy the dip, quietly accumulating positions while retail participants exit in panic. The result? A market recovery driven by smart money.
Conversely, when the PVI consistently remains above the NVI, it may point to retail enthusiasm outpacing institutional support. This imbalance can flag a tired or overextended trend, where the smart money has already positioned itself defensively. When this pattern persists, there's a high likelihood that institutions will pull the plug, leading to a pronounced trend reversal.
Simple Market Kill-Zones + Open (UTC)What it does
This Pine v6 indicator highlights the “kill-zones” around the big session opens—Asian (23:00–03:00 UTC), London (07:00–09:00 UTC) and New York (13:30–15:30 UTC)—by reading each bar’s actual UTC timestamp. It also draws dashed vertical lines at exactly 23:00, 07:00 and 13:30 UTC, so you never miss the liquidity ramps. Because it uses raw UTC hours/minutes, it stays accurate even when exchanges pause (e.g. Nano-BTC’s daily halt) or your chart’s display timezone changes.
Key Inputs
Show Asia/London/NY Kill Zone – toggle each shaded band on/off
Zone Colors – pick your own semi-transparent hues
Show Session-Open Lines – enable dashed verticals at the exact open times
Line Colors – customize the line opacity and style
How to use
Apply on your favorite timeframe (15 min–1 h is a sweet spot).
Toggle the zones you care about and pick readable colors.
Use the dashed lines as entry triggers or as visual bookmarks.
In your own Pine strategies, wrap order logic with the zone booleans to only trade when liquidity’s alive.
