Fiyat - 55 EMA Uzaklık SinyaliThis indicator generates a signal when the price moves a certain percentage away from the 55-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
It helps traders identify when the market is stretched too far from its mean level, which can indicate potential reversal or continuation zones.
⚙️ How It Works
Calculates the 55 EMA on the selected chart.
Measures the percentage distance between the current price and the 55 EMA.
When the price distance exceeds the user-defined threshold (default: 0.50%), a visual signal (orange triangle) appears on the chart.
The background also highlights the signal candle.
🧩 Inputs
EMA Length: Default = 55 (can be changed).
Distance Threshold (%): Default = 0.50 → Change to detect stronger or weaker price deviations.
QQQ Price Levels + Custom LevelsThis indicator projects QQQ price levels onto any chart — ideal for traders who monitor Nasdaq futures (NQ), QQQ ETF, or correlated tech stocks.
It helps visualize where QQQ sits relative to your current instrument and lets you fully customize your view with user-defined colored levels.
QQQ Ladder Projection
Automatically plots a range of evenly spaced QQQ levels around the current QQQ price.
Adjustable multiplier for spacing.
Configurable line style (solid/dashed/dotted), color, and label offset.
Labels show “QQQ ” and move dynamically with chart scaling.
Six User-Defined QQQ Levels
- Type in up to six specific QQQ prices (e.g. key support/resistance or psychological levels).
- Each level has independent color, line width, and line style controls.
- Default theme: 3 red levels (resistance) and 3 green levels (support).
- Lines are projected onto the current chart’s price scale, even if it’s not QQQ.
Colored Overlay Labels
- Labels on the main QQQ ladder automatically recolor at your selected levels.
- A small box overlays the original label, matching your chosen line color for clear visual emphasis.
Dynamic Updates
- Choose to update on every tick or once per candle close.
- Compatible with intraday or higher-timeframe charts.
On-Balance Volume (OBV) — Background TrendWhat OBV Means
OBV stands for On-Balance Volume.
It’s a volume-based indicator that helps you see whether money is flowing into or out of a stock or index.
Think of OBV as a “running total” of buying and selling pressure.
⚙️ How It Works
OBV starts at zero and then adds or subtracts each day’s trading volume based on the day’s closing price:
If today’s close is higher than yesterday’s → OBV goes up by that day’s volume.
If today’s close is lower → OBV goes down by that day’s volume.
If the price is unchanged → OBV doesn’t move.
Over time, this creates a line that moves up and down with volume pressure.
📈 What OBV Tells You
Rising OBV → Buying Pressure
More volume is happening on up days.
It means traders are accumulating shares.
Often a bullish signal.
Falling OBV → Selling Pressure
More volume is happening on down days.
It means traders are distributing (selling) shares.
Often a bearish signal.
Flat OBV → No clear direction
Volume is balanced.
The market is waiting for a breakout.
🧠 How Traders Use It
Trend Confirmation:
When price goes up and OBV goes up too → the move is healthy and supported by volume.
If price goes up but OBV stays flat or falls → the move might be weak or false.
Divergences:
If price makes a new high but OBV doesn’t → it’s a warning that the trend may reverse soon.
Signal Line Crossovers (like your chart):
You can smooth OBV with an EMA (moving average).
When OBV crosses above its EMA → possible buy signal.
When OBV crosses below → possible sell signal.
🟢 In Simple Terms
OBV tells you “is the smart money buying or selling?”
Green / rising = buyers in control.
Red / falling = sellers in control.
It’s a quick way to confirm if price trends are backed by real trading activity — not just short-term noise.
Blue Dot Red DotInspired by Dr Wish
This script is a confluence indicator designed to identify potential trend reversals or "mean reversion" trade setups. It plots buy (blue) and sell (red) dots directly on your price chart.
The core strategy is to find moments where price is overextended (using Bollinger Bands) and momentum is simultaneously reversing (using the Stochastic Oscillator). A signal is only generated when both of these conditions are met.
Core Components
The script combines two classic technical indicators:
Bollinger Bands (BB):
These create a "channel" around the price based on a simple moving average (the basis) and a standard deviation (dev).
Upper Band: Basis + (2.0 * StdDev)
Lower Band: Basis - (2.0 * StdDev)
In this script, the bands are used to identify when the price has moved significantly far from its recent average, suggesting it's "overbought" (at the upper band) or "oversold" (at the lower band) and may be due for a pullback.
Stochastic Oscillator:
This is a momentum oscillator that compares a closing price to its price range over a certain period.
It consists of two lines: %K (the main, faster line) and %D (a moving average of %K, the slower signal line).
It's used to identify overbought and oversold momentum conditions and, more importantly, momentum shifts, which are signaled by the %K and %D lines crossing.
Signal Logic: How the Dots Are Generated
This script's "secret sauce" is that it demands three specific conditions to be true at the same time before plotting a dot.
🔵 Blue Dot (Buy Signal)
A blue dot will appear below a price bar if all three of these conditions are met:
Stochastic Crossover: The faster %K line crosses above the slower %D line (ta.crossover(k, d)). This signals that short-term momentum is starting to turn bullish.
Was Oversold: On the previous bar, the %K line was below the "Oversold Threshold" (was_oversold = k < oversold). This ensures the bullish crossover is happening from an oversold (or at least bearish) momentum state.
Note: The default oversold threshold is set to 50. This is a key detail. It means the script is looking for a bullish crossover that originates from anywhere in the bottom half of the Stochastic range, not just the traditional "extreme" oversold area (like 20).
Price Extension: Within the last 3 bars (the current bar or the two before it), the price's low must have touched or gone below the lower Bollinger Band (bb_touch_lower). This confirms that the price itself is in an "oversold" or overextended area.
In plain English: A blue dot appears when the price has recently dipped to an extreme low (touching the lower BB) and its underlying momentum has just started to turn back up (Stoch cross from the lower half).
🔴 Red Dot (Sell Signal)
A red dot will appear above a price bar if all three of these conditions are met:
Stochastic Crossunder: The faster %K line crosses below the slower %D line (ta.crossunder(k, d)). This signals that short-term momentum is starting to turn bearish.
Was Overbought: On the previous bar, the %K line was above the "Overbought Threshold" (was_overbought = k > overbought). The default for this is 80, which is a traditional overbought level.
Price Extension: Within the last 3 bars (the current bar or the two before it), the price's high must have touched or gone above the upper Bollinger Band (bb_touch_upper). This confirms that the price itself is in an "overbought" or overextended area.
A red dot appears when the price has recently spiked to an extreme high (touching the upper BB) and its underlying momentum has just started to roll over and turn back down (Stoch cross from the overbought zone).

If you find this script helpful, please give it a ❤️ and follow for more updates!
Bobs Gold and Red LinesThis indicator plots a normal 9 EMA corresponding to the current time frame, ie Bob's 1 min 9 ema Gold Line.
It also plots a 5 min 21 SMA (Bob's Red Line) on the 1 min chart. It actually plots the 5 min redline on timeframes other than the 1 min chart as well.
In other words, this will plot the actual 5 min 21 SMA whether you are on the 1 min, 5 min, or other time frames. I created this instead of having to use the workaround of a 105 SMA on the 1 min chart or having a separate 5 min chart open when trading Bob's 1 min strategies.
On the 1 min chart you will notice the red line typically makes a stairstep effect, that is because it is a 5 min SMA being plotted on the 1 min chart. The right hand end point should still perfectly match the current 5 min SMA price. I have been testing / using this script for several months.
I have noticed that the ema and sma on my tradovate charts do not perfectly match my tradingview charts, even just using the normal tradingview moving averages, however from what I can see on Bob's charts Tradingview seems to be close to the same as on Bob's Ninja charts. I have not started using Ninja yet, but plan to soon then I can compare apples to apples.
I made a few changes in names, etc before I published this script today, so hopefully I didn't inadvertently break anything. So let me know if you find anything off or not working as expected.

HIDDEN IMPULSE - Multi-Timeframe Momentum Detection System
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
Hidden Impulse is an advanced momentum oscillator that combines the Schaff Trend Cycle (STC) and Force Index into a comprehensive multi-timeframe trading system. Unlike standard implementations of these indicators, this script introduces three distinct trading setups with specific entry conditions, multi-timeframe confirmation, and trend filtering.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ORIGINALITY & KEY FEATURES
This indicator is original in the following ways:
1. DUAL-TIMEFRAME STC ANALYSIS
Standard STC implementations work on a single timeframe. This script
simultaneously analyzes STC on both your trading timeframe and a higher
timeframe, providing trend context and filtering out low-probability signals.
2. FORCE INDEX INTEGRATION
The script combines STC with Force Index (volume-weighted price momentum)
to confirm the strength behind price moves. This combination helps identify
when momentum shifts are backed by genuine buying/selling pressure.
3. THREE DISTINCT TRADING SETUPS
Rather than generic overbought/oversold signals, the indicator provides
three specific, rule-based setups:
- Setup A: Classic trend-following entries with multi-timeframe confirmation
- Setup B: Divergence-based reversal entries (highest probability)
- Setup C: Mean-reversion bounce trades at extreme levels
4. INTELLIGENT FILTERING
All signals are filtered through:
- 50 EMA trend direction (prevents counter-trend trades)
- Higher timeframe STC alignment (ensures macro trend agreement)
- Force Index confirmation (validates volume support)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS - TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
SCHAFF TREND CYCLE (STC) CALCULATION:
The STC is a cyclical oscillator that combines MACD concepts with stochastic
smoothing to create earlier and smoother trend signals.
Step 1: Calculate MACD
- Fast MA = EMA(close, Length1) — default 23
- Slow MA = EMA(close, Length2) — default 50
- MACD Line = Fast MA - Slow MA
Step 2: First Stochastic Smoothing
- Apply stochastic calculation to MACD
- Stoch1 = 100 × (MACD - Lowest(MACD, Smoothing)) / (Highest(MACD, Smoothing) - Lowest(MACD, Smoothing))
- Smooth result with EMA(Stoch1, Smoothing) — default 10
Step 3: Second Stochastic Smoothing
- Apply stochastic calculation again to the smoothed stochastic
- This creates the final STC value between 0-100
The dual stochastic smoothing makes STC more responsive than MACD while
being smoother than traditional stochastics.
FORCE INDEX CALCULATION:
Force Index measures the power behind price movements by incorporating volume:
Force Raw = (Close - Close ) × Volume
Force Index = EMA(Force Raw, Period) — default 13
Interpretation:
- Positive Force Index = Buying pressure (bulls in control)
- Negative Force Index = Selling pressure (bears in control)
- Force Index crossing zero = Momentum shift
- Divergences with price = Weakening momentum (reversal signal)
TREND FILTER:
A 50-period EMA serves as the trend filter:
- Price above EMA50 = Uptrend → Only LONG signals allowed
- Price below EMA50 = Downtrend → Only SHORT signals allowed
This prevents counter-trend trading which accounts for most losing trades.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
THE THREE TRADING SETUPS - DETAILED
SETUP A: CLASSIC MOMENTUM ENTRY
Concept: Enter when STC exits oversold/overbought zones with trend confirmation
LONG CONDITIONS:
1. Higher timeframe STC > 25 (macro trend is up)
2. Primary timeframe STC crosses above 25 (momentum turning up)
3. Force Index crosses above 0 OR already positive (volume confirms)
4. Price above 50 EMA (local trend is up)
SHORT CONDITIONS:
1. Higher timeframe STC < 75 (macro trend is down)
2. Primary timeframe STC crosses below 75 (momentum turning down)
3. Force Index crosses below 0 OR already negative (volume confirms)
4. Price below 50 EMA (local trend is down)
Best for: Trending markets, continuation trades
Win rate: Moderate (60-65%)
Risk/Reward: 1:2 to 1:3
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SETUP B: DIVERGENCE REVERSAL (HIGHEST PROBABILITY)
Concept: Identify exhaustion points where price makes new extremes but
momentum (Force Index) fails to confirm
BULLISH DIVERGENCE:
1. Price makes a lower low (LL) over 10 bars
2. Force Index makes a higher low (HL) — refuses to follow price down
3. STC is below 25 (oversold condition)
Trigger: STC starts rising AND Force Index crosses above zero
BEARISH DIVERGENCE:
1. Price makes a higher high (HH) over 10 bars
2. Force Index makes a lower high (LH) — refuses to follow price up
3. STC is above 75 (overbought condition)
Trigger: STC starts falling AND Force Index crosses below zero
Why this works: Divergences signal that the current trend is losing steam.
When volume (Force Index) doesn't confirm new price extremes, a reversal
is likely.
Best for: Reversal trading, range-bound markets
Win rate: High (70-75%)
Risk/Reward: 1:3 to 1:5
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SETUP C: QUICK BOUNCE AT EXTREMES
Concept: Catch rapid mean-reversion moves when price touches EMA50 in
extreme STC zones
LONG CONDITIONS:
1. Price touches 50 EMA from above (pullback in uptrend)
2. STC < 15 (extreme oversold)
3. Force Index > 0 (buyers stepping in)
SHORT CONDITIONS:
1. Price touches 50 EMA from below (pullback in downtrend)
2. STC > 85 (extreme overbought)
3. Force Index < 0 (sellers stepping in)
Best for: Scalping, quick mean-reversion trades
Win rate: Moderate (55-60%)
Risk/Reward: 1:1 to 1:2
Note: Use tighter stops and quick profit-taking
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
STEP 1: CONFIGURE TIMEFRAMES
Primary Timeframe (STC - Primary Timeframe):
- Leave empty to use your current chart timeframe
- This is where you'll take trades
Higher Timeframe (STC - Higher Timeframe):
- Default: 30 minutes
- Recommended ratios:
* 5min chart → 30min higher TF
* 15min chart → 1H higher TF
* 1H chart → 4H higher TF
* Daily chart → Weekly higher TF
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 2: ADJUST STC PARAMETERS FOR YOUR MARKET
Default (23/50/10) works well for stocks and forex, but adjust for:
CRYPTO (volatile):
- Length 1: 15
- Length 2: 35
- Smoothing: 8
(Faster response for rapid price movements)
STOCKS (standard):
- Length 1: 23
- Length 2: 50
- Smoothing: 10
(Balanced settings)
FOREX MAJORS (slower):
- Length 1: 30
- Length 2: 60
- Smoothing: 12
(Filters out noise in 24/7 markets)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 3: ENABLE YOUR PREFERRED SETUPS
Toggle setups based on your trading style:
Conservative Trader:
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — highest win rate
✗ Setup A (Classic) — only in strong trends
✗ Setup C (Bounce) — too aggressive
Trend Trader:
✓ Setup A (Classic) — primary signals
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — for entries on pullbacks
✗ Setup C (Bounce) — not suitable for trending
Scalper:
✓ Setup C (Bounce) — quick in-and-out
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — high probability scalps
✗ Setup A (Classic) — too slow
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 4: READ THE SIGNALS

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
TRADING STRATEGY & RISK MANAGEMENT
ENTRY RULES:
Priority ranking (best to worst):
1st: Setup B (Divergence) — wait for these
2nd: Setup A (Classic) — in confirmed trends only
3rd: Setup C (Bounce) — scalping only
Confirmation checklist before entry:
☑ Signal label appears on chart
☑ TREND in info table matches signal direction
☑ Higher timeframe STC aligned (check orange dots or table)
☑ Force Index confirming (check histogram color)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STOP LOSS PLACEMENT:
Setup A (Classic):
- LONG: Below recent swing low
- SHORT: Above recent swing high
- Typical: 1-2 ATR distance
Setup B (Divergence):
- LONG: Below the divergence low
- SHORT: Above the divergence high
- Typical: 0.5-1.5 ATR distance
Setup C (Bounce):
- LONG: 5-10 pips below EMA50
- SHORT: 5-10 pips above EMA50
- Typical: 0.3-0.8 ATR distance
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
TAKE PROFIT TARGETS:
Conservative approach:
- Exit when STC reaches opposite level
- LONG: Exit when STC > 75
- SHORT: Exit when STC < 25
Aggressive approach:
- Hold until opposite signal appears
- Trail stop as STC moves in your favor
Partial profits:
- Take 50% at 1:2 risk/reward
- Let remaining 50% run to target
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT TO AVOID:
❌ Trading Setup A in sideways/choppy markets
→ Wait for clear trend or use Setup B only
❌ Ignoring higher timeframe STC
→ Always check orange dots align with your direction
❌ Taking signals against the major trend
→ If weekly trend is down, be cautious with longs
❌ Overtrading Setup C
→ Maximum 2-3 bounce trades per session
❌ Trading during low volume periods
→ Force Index becomes unreliable
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

EXAMPLE TRADE WALKTHROUGH
SETUP B DIVERGENCE LONG EXAMPLE:
1. Market Context:
- Price in downtrend, below 50 EMA
- Multiple lower lows forming
- STC below 25 (oversold)
2. Divergence Formation:
- Price makes new low at $45.20
- Force Index refuses to make new low (higher low forms)
- This indicates selling pressure weakening
3. Signal Trigger:
- STC starts turning up
- Force Index crosses above zero
- Label appears: "LONG B DIV"
4. Trade Execution:
- Entry: $45.50 (current price at signal)
- Stop Loss: $44.80 (below divergence low)
- Target 1: $47.90 (STC reaches 75) — risk/reward 1:3.4
- Target 2: Opposite signal or trail stop
5. Trade Management:
- Price rallies to $47.20
- STC reaches 68 (approaching target zone)
- Take 50% profit, move stop to breakeven
- Exit remaining at $48.10 when STC crosses 75
Result: 3.7R gain
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ADVANCED TIPS
1. MULTI-TIMEFRAME CONFLUENCE
For highest probability trades, wait for:
- Primary TF signal
- Higher TF STC aligned (>25 for longs, <75 for shorts)
- Even higher TF trend in same direction (manual check)
2. VOLUME CONFIRMATION
Watch the Force Index histogram:
- Increasing bar size = Strengthening momentum
- Decreasing bar size = Weakening momentum
- Use this to gauge signal strength
3. AVOID THESE MARKET CONDITIONS
- Major news events (Force Index becomes erratic)
- Market open first 30 minutes (volatility spikes)
- Low liquidity instruments (Force Index unreliable)
- Extreme trending days (wait for pullbacks)
4. COMBINE WITH SUPPORT/RESISTANCE
Best signals occur near:
- Key horizontal levels
- Fibonacci retracements
- Previous day's high/low
- Psychological round numbers
5. SESSION AWARENESS
- Asia session: Use lower timeframes, Setup C works well
- London session: Setup A and B both effective
- New York session: All setups work, highest volume

jjjjjjjjExplanation of the Script
Bullish and Bearish Candles: The function isBullishOrderBlock() checks if a candle is "bullish" in nature (based on body size to range ratio). Similarly, isBearishOrderBlock() checks for bearish candles.
Order Block Length and Threshold: length is the number of bars to scan for an order block, and threshold sets how strong a candle needs to be to be considered an order block.
Detection: The loop searches backward through the bars to find strong bullish and bearish order blocks, marking the price points where the strong moves happened.
Plotting: The plotshape() function is used to plot arrows or labels on the chart to mark where bullish or bearish order blocks are identified.
Improving and Customizing
Highlighting Blocks: Instead of just marking a point, you can plot horizontal boxes or shaded regions using box.new() to visually highlight the order block zone.
Use of Different Timeframes: You can modify the script to look for order blocks across multiple timeframes to increase accuracy.
Complex Rules: Depending on your strategy, you may want to add additional rules, such as looking for price to return to the order block area before confirming the strength of the block.
Relative Vigor Index with Divergence and SMA FilterThis script implements the Relative Vigor Index (RVI), originally developed by John Ehlers, enhanced with three practical analytical layers:
1. Configurable SMA filter applied to the RVI line (default: 14 periods) to smooth noise and clarify the underlying momentum trend.
2. Automated divergence detection between price action and the RVI oscillator, identifying both:
- Regular divergences ("R"): potential reversal signals (e.g., price makes a lower low while RVI makes a higher low).
- Hidden divergences ("H"): potential continuation signals (e.g., price makes a higher low while RVI makes a lower low).
3.Visual aids: labeled markers ("R"/"H") and connecting lines to make divergence patterns immediately recognizable.
Unlike basic RVI implementations, this version is designed to highlight momentum-price decoupling—a core concept in technical analysis—using robust pivot detection (`ta.pivotlow`/`ta.pivothigh`) with user-defined lookback and search ranges (default: 5–60 bars). The SMA filter helps traders distinguish between genuine momentum shifts and short-term volatility.
How it works:
- The RVI is calculated as the ratio of smoothed (close – open) to smoothed (high – low), reflecting the idea that in uptrends, closes tend to occur near highs, and in downtrends, near lows.
- Divergences are confirmed only when both a valid price pivot and a corresponding RVI pivot occur within the specified bar range.
- Hidden bearish divergences are disabled by default to reduce noise on shorter timeframes.
Suggested use:
- Use regular bullish divergences near negative RVI extremes as potential long setups.
- Watch for regular bearish divergences at positive RVI peaks as early reversal warnings.
- Combine with support/resistance or trend structure for higher-confidence entries.
This script is not a simple mashup: the integration of divergence logic with the RVI’s unique behavior, configurable sensitivity, and clean visualization provides a cohesive analytical tool that goes beyond standard implementations.

Venza Rocket ScalperVenza Rocket Scalper: Compliant Description (Plaintext)
This strategy is a complex, multi-indicator trend-following system designed for intraday scalping on low-timeframe charts. It uses a confluence of four distinct filters to ensure high-conviction entries during optimal momentum and volume.
1. Overview and Core Logic
The entry signal requires simultaneous confirmation from the following components:
Trend Confirmation (Heikin-Ashi EMAs): The primary trend is established using Heikin-Ashi price action combined with an EMA (Fast=8) crossing and remaining above an EMA (Slow=21). This provides a smoother, momentum-based trend signal.
Momentum Strength (ADX/RSI): The trend must be validated by the ADX (default 16) to confirm sufficient directional strength, and the RSI (default 42) to confirm continued positive internal momentum.
Volume Validation: A dynamic filter requires the current bar's volume to be greater than the 20-period Volume MA (multiplied by the default 1.0 factor), ensuring trades are executed during periods of active market participation.
Session & Volatility Filter: Trades are restricted to a defined trading window (default UTC 12:00 to 20:00). The script also includes an optional Volatility Cap filter based on a long-term ATR to suppress entries during extreme volatility.
2. Trade Management and Realistic Risk
This strategy employs a robust, partial-exit risk management plan driven by the Average True Range (ATR) for sustainable risk control.
Initial Stop Loss (SL): The initial SL is tight and calculated dynamically using the 14-period ATR multiplied by an adjustable factor (default 0.7). This size is designed for micro-losses appropriate for scalping and is adapted slightly during high volatility.
Partial Exits & Profit Taking: The position is split into two equal halves for exit management:
50% Position (TP1): Exited at a 1R profit target, where 1R is defined as the exact value of the initial ATR-based SL.
50% Position (Run): Managed by a Trailing Stop Loss (TSL), with trail points also calculated dynamically using the current ATR.
Breakeven (BE) Lock: An optional feature (default: ON) automatically moves the stop loss to Breakeven (entry price plus 1 tick) once the position is 2 ticks in profit, locking in capital protection rapidly.
Daily Risk Controls: The strategy includes mandatory daily money management features (default: ON):
Max Daily Loss Stop: Stops all trading for the day if the cumulative closed P&L reaches -$500 (default).
Profit Protection Floor: If the closed P&L reaches a minimum threshold (default $110), any open position will be closed if the total daily P&L drops back below this floor, locking in minimum daily gains.
3. Strategy Properties & Backtesting Disclosure
The default settings are configured for high-liquidity futures or FX markets. Users must ensure their backtesting environment is realistic:
Risk Per Trade: The ATR-based SL aims to keep the risk per trade below 5% of a reasonable account size, which is critical for sustainable trading.
Contracts/Size: Default quantity is 3 contracts.
Commissions/Slippage: Commissions and slippage MUST be configured by the user in the Strategy Properties window to reflect real-world brokerage fees and execution costs.
Sample Size: The strategy should be run on a dataset that generates over 100 trades for statistically valid results.
MANDATORY DISCLAIMER: Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Trading involves substantial risk. All claims of historical performance are substantiated by the backtesting results on the chart, but these results do not guarantee actual trading outcomes. Keep your language realistic.
BSP Order Flow Proxy This indicator is a refined Buy/Sell Pressure (BSP) model designed to approximate order flow dynamics directly from price and volume data.
It estimates the relative dominance of buyers vs. sellers by analyzing candle structure and volume distribution — offering a simple yet powerful proxy for delta-based order flow.
You can toggle between two calculation modes:
• Tick Rule: compares current close vs. previous close (for assets with continuous volume flow).
• Candle Rule: compares close vs. open (for simpler candle-based estimation).
The result is a smoothed delta histogram:
• 🟩 Green bars — buying pressure dominates (demand > supply)
• 🟥 Red bars — selling pressure dominates (supply > demand)
• ⚫ Zero line — neutral or balanced order flow
The built-in HMA and EMA smoothing filters remove short-term noise and emphasize genuine momentum shifts in buyer/seller activity.
This tool is particularly useful for traders who want to:
• Gauge hidden shifts in market control (bullish or bearish pressure)
• Anticipate potential reversals or volume-driven continuations
• Combine volume analytics with technical price action
RVI with SMA Smoothing and Divergence SignalsThis script enhances the Relative Volatility Index (RVI)—originally introduced by Donald Dorsey in 1993—by integrating three complementary analytical features:
1. SMA-based smoothing of the RVI line to reduce noise and clarify the underlying volatility momentum trend.
2. Automated detection of regular and hidden divergences between price action (highs/lows) and RVI pivots, using robust `ta.pivotlow` and `ta.pivothigh` logic with configurable lookback and search ranges.
3. Visual labels ("R" for regular, "H" for hidden) and color-coded pivot markers to help traders quickly identify potential reversal or continuation zones.
Unlike basic RVI implementations, this version is designed to highlight momentum-price decoupling, a key concept in technical analysis. The divergence engine is synchronized with RVI’s unique 0–100 scale and volatility-based calculation, ensuring signals are contextually relevant—not generic overlays.
How it works:
- RVI is computed using standard deviation of directional price changes, normalized to 0–100.
- A user-defined SMA (default: 14 periods) smooths the RVI for trend clarity.
- Divergences are confirmed only when both a valid price pivot and a corresponding RVI pivot occur within a configurable bar range (default: 5–60 bars).
- Hidden bearish divergences are disabled by default to reduce noise on short-term charts.
Suggested use:
- Regular bullish divergences near the 20 (oversold) level may signal exhaustion of a downtrend.
- Regular bearish divergences above 80 (overbought) can warn of upward momentum loss.
- Combine with price structure (support/resistance) for higher-probability setups.
This script is **not a simple mashup**: the integration of divergence logic with RVI’s volatility-based nature, parameterized sensitivity controls, and clean visualization provides a cohesive analytical tool not found in standard indicators.

JOPA Channel (Dual-Volumed) v1 [JopAlgo]JOPA Channel (Dual-Volumed) v1
Short title: JOPAV1 • License: MPL-2.0 • Provider: JopAlgo
We have developed our own, first channel-based trading indicator and we’re making it available to all traders. The goal was a channel that breathes with the tape—built on a volume-weighted backbone—so the outcome stays lively instead of static. That led to the JOPA Channel.
All important features (at a glance)
In one line: A Rolling-VWAP channel whose width adapts with two volumes (RVOL + dollar-flow), adds order-flow asymmetry (OBV tilt) and regime awareness (Efficiency Ratio), and frames risk with outer containment bands from residual extremes—so you see fair value, momentum, and exhaustion in one view.
Feature list
Rolling VWAP centerline: Tracks where volume traded (fair value).
Dual-volume width: Bands expand/contract with relative volume and value traded (price×volume).
OBV tilt: Upper/lower widths skew toward the side actually pushing.
Regime adapter (ER): Tighter in trend, wider in chop—automatically.
Outer containment rails: Residual-extreme ceilings/floors, smoothed + margin.
20% / 80% guides: 20% light blue (discount), 80% light red (premium).
Squeeze dots (optional): Orange circles below candles during compression.
Non-repainting: Uses rolling sums and past-only math; no lookahead.
Default visual in this release
Containment rails + fill: ON (stepline, medium).
Inner Value rails + fill: Rails OFF (stepline, thin), fill ON (drawn only if rails are shown).
20% & 80% guides: ON (dashed, thin; 20% light blue, 80% light red).
Squeeze dots: OFF by default (orange circles when enabled).
What you see on the chart
RVWAP (centerline): Your compass for fair value.
Inner Value Bands (optional): Tight rails for breakouts and pullback timing.
Outer Containment Bands (default ON): High-confidence ceilings/floors for targets and fades.
20% / 80% guides: Quick read of “where in the channel” price is sitting.
Squeeze dots (optional): Volatility compression heads-up (no text labels).
Non-repainting note: The indicator does not revise closed bars. Forecast-Lock uses linear regression to extrapolate 1–3 bars ahead without using future data.
How to use it
Core reads (works on any timeframe)
Bias: Above a rising RVWAP → long bias; below a falling RVWAP → short bias.
Breakouts (momentum): Close beyond an Inner Value rail with RVOL ≥ threshold (alert provided).
Reversions (fades): Tag Outer Containment, stall, then close back inside → expect mean reversion toward RVWAP.
20/80 timing:
At/above 80% (light red) → premium/exhaustion risk; trim longs or consider fades if RVOL cools.
At/below 20% (light blue) → discount/exhaustion risk; trim shorts or consider longs if RVOL cools.
Squeeze clusters: When dots bunch up, expect a range break; use the Breakout alert as confirmation.
Playbooks by trading style
Day Trading (1–5m)
Setup: Keep the chart clean (Containment ON, Value rails OFF). Toggle Inner Value ON when hunting a breakout or timing a pullback.
Pullback Long: Dip to RVWAP / Lower Value with sub-threshold RVOL, then a close back above RVWAP → long.
Stop: Just beyond Lower Containment or the pullback swing.
Targets (1:1:1): ⅓ at RVWAP, ⅓ at Upper Value, ⅓ trail toward Upper Containment.
Breakout Long: After a squeeze cluster, take the Breakout Long alert (close > Upper Value, RVOL ≥ min). If no retest, demand the next bar holds outside.
Range Fade: Only when RVWAP is flat and dots cluster; short Upper Containment → RVWAP (mirror for longs at the lower rail).
Intraday (15m–1H)
HTF compass: Take bias from 4H.
Pullback Long: “Touch & reclaim” of RVWAP while RVOL cools; enter on the reclaim close or break of that candle’s high.
Breakout: Run Inner Value ON; act on Breakout alerts (RVOL gate ≈ 1.10–1.15 typical).
Avoid low-probability fades against the 4H slope unless RVWAP is flat.
Swing (4H–1D)
Continuation: In uptrends, buy pullbacks to RVWAP / Lower Value with sub-threshold RVOL; scale at Upper Containment.
Adds: Post-squeeze Breakout Long adds; trail on RVWAP or Lower Value.
Fades: Prefer when RVWAP flattens and price oscillates between containments.
Position (1D+)
Framework: Daily RVWAP slope + position within containment.
Add rule: Each reclaim of RVWAP after a dip is an add; trim into Upper Containment or near 80% light red.
Sizing: Containment distance is larger—size down and trail on RVWAP.
Inputs & Settings (complete)

Practical templates (copy/paste into a plan)
Momentum Breakout
Context: Squeeze cluster near RVWAP; Inner Value ON.
Trigger: Breakout Long (close > Upper Value & RVOL ≥ min).
Stop: Below Lower Value (tight) or below RVWAP (safer).
Targets (1:1:1): ⅓ Value → ⅓ Containment → ⅓ trail on RVWAP.
Pullback Continuation
Context: Uptrend; dip to RVWAP / Lower Value with cooling RVOL.
Trigger: Close back above RVWAP or break of reclaim candle’s high.
Stop: Just outside Lower Containment or pullback swing.
Targets: RVWAP → Upper Value → Upper Containment.
Containment Reversion (range)
Context: RVWAP flat; repeated containment tags.
Trigger: Stall at containment, then close back inside.
Stop: A step beyond that containment.
Target: RVWAP; runner only if RVOL stays muted.
Alerts included
DVWAP Breakout Long / Short (Value Bands)
Top Zone / Bottom Zone (20% / 80% guides)
Tip: On lower TFs, act on Breakout alerts with higher-TF bias (e.g., trade 5–15m in the direction of 1H/4H RVWAP slope/position).
Best practices
Let RVWAP be the compass; if unsure, wait until price picks a side.
Respect RVOL; low-RVOL breaks are prone to fail.
Use guides for timing, not certainty. Pair 20/80 zones with flow context.
Start with defaults; change one knob at a time.
Common pitfalls
Fading every containment touch → only fade when RVWAP is flat or RVOL cools.
Over-tuning inputs → the defaults are robust; small tweaks go a long way.
Fighting the higher timeframe on low TFs → expensive habit.

Smart MACD Volume Trader# Smart MACD Volume Trader
## Overview
Smart MACD Volume Trader is an enhanced momentum indicator that combines the classic MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) oscillator with an intelligent high-volume filter. This combination significantly reduces false signals by ensuring that trading signals are only generated when price momentum is confirmed by substantial volume activity.
The indicator supports over 24 different instruments including major and exotic forex pairs, precious metals (gold and silver), energy commodities (crude oil, natural gas), and industrial metals (copper). For forex and commodity traders, the indicator automatically maps to CME and COMEX futures contracts to provide accurate institutional-grade volume data.
## Originality and Core Concept
Traditional MACD indicators generate signals based solely on price momentum, which can result in numerous false signals during low-activity periods or ranging markets. This indicator addresses this critical weakness by introducing a volume confirmation layer with automatic institutional volume integration.
**What makes this approach original:**
- Signals are triggered only when MACD crossovers coincide with elevated volume activity
- Implements a lookback mechanism to detect volume spikes within recent bars
- Automatically detects and maps 24+ forex pairs and commodities to their corresponding CME and COMEX futures contracts
- Provides real institutional volume data for forex pairs where spot volume is unreliable
- Combines two independent market dimensions (price momentum and volume) into a single, actionable signal
- Includes intelligent asset detection that works across multiple exchanges and ticker formats
**The underlying principle:** Volume validates price movement. When institutional money enters the market, it creates volume signatures. By requiring high volume confirmation and using actual institutional volume data from futures markets, this indicator filters out weak price movements and focuses on trades backed by genuine market participation. The automatic futures mapping ensures that forex and commodity traders always have access to the most accurate volume data available, without manual configuration.
## How It Works
### MACD Component
The indicator calculates MACD using standard methodology:
1. **Fast EMA (default: 12 periods)** - Tracks short-term price momentum
2. **Slow EMA (default: 26 periods)** - Tracks longer-term price momentum
3. **MACD Line** - Difference between Fast EMA and Slow EMA
4. **Signal Line (default: 9-period SMA)** - Smoothed average of MACD line
**Crossover signals:**
- **Bullish:** MACD line crosses above Signal line (momentum turning positive)
- **Bearish:** MACD line crosses below Signal line (momentum turning negative)
### Volume Filter Component
The volume filter adds an essential confirmation layer:
1. **Volume Moving Average** - Calculates exponential MA of volume (default: 20 periods)
2. **High Volume Threshold** - Multiplies MA by ratio (default: 2.0x or 200%)
3. **Volume Detection** - Identifies bars where current volume exceeds threshold
4. **Lookback Period** - Checks if high volume occurred in recent bars (default: 5 bars)
**Signal logic:**
- Buy/Sell signals only trigger when BOTH conditions are met:
- MACD crossover/crossunder occurs
- High volume detected within lookback period
### Automatic CME Futures Integration
For forex traders, spot FX volume data can be unreliable or non-existent. This indicator solves this problem by automatically detecting forex pairs and mapping them to corresponding CME futures contracts with real institutional volume data.
**Supported Major Forex Pairs (7):**
- EURUSD → CME:6E1! (Euro FX Futures)
- GBPUSD → CME:6B1! (British Pound Futures)
- AUDUSD → CME:6A1! (Australian Dollar Futures)
- USDJPY → CME:6J1! (Japanese Yen Futures)
- USDCAD → CME:6C1! (Canadian Dollar Futures)
- USDCHF → CME:6S1! (Swiss Franc Futures)
- NZDUSD → CME:6N1! (New Zealand Dollar Futures)
**Supported Exotic Forex Pairs (4):**
- USDMXN → CME:6M1! (Mexican Peso Futures)
- USDRUB → CME:6R1! (Russian Ruble Futures)
- USDBRL → CME:6L1! (Brazilian Real Futures)
- USDZAR → CME:6Z1! (South African Rand Futures)
**Supported Cross Pairs (6):**
- EURJPY → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures)
- GBPJPY → CME:6B1! (Uses British Pound Futures)
- EURGBP → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures)
- AUDJPY → CME:6A1! (Uses Australian Dollar Futures)
- EURAUD → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures)
- GBPAUD → CME:6B1! (Uses British Pound Futures)
**Supported Precious Metals (2):**
- Gold (XAUUSD, GOLD) → COMEX:GC1! (Gold Futures)
- Silver (XAGUSD, SILVER) → COMEX:SI1! (Silver Futures)
**Supported Energy Commodities (3):**
- WTI Crude Oil (USOIL, WTIUSD) → NYMEX:CL1! (Crude Oil Futures)
- Brent Oil (UKOIL) → NYMEX:BZ1! (Brent Crude Futures)
- Natural Gas (NATGAS) → NYMEX:NG1! (Natural Gas Futures)
**Supported Industrial Metals (1):**
- Copper (COPPER) → COMEX:HG1! (Copper Futures)
**How the automatic detection works:**
The indicator intelligently identifies the asset type by analyzing:
1. Exchange name (FX, OANDA, TVC, COMEX, NYMEX, etc.)
2. Currency pair pattern (6-letter codes like EURUSD, GBPUSD)
3. Commodity identifiers (XAU for gold, XAG for silver, OIL for crude)
When a supported instrument is detected, the indicator automatically switches to the corresponding futures contract for volume analysis. For stocks, cryptocurrencies, and other assets, the indicator uses the native volume data from the current chart.
**Visual feedback:**
An information table appears in the top-right corner of the MACD pane showing:
- Current chart symbol
- Exchange name
- Currency pair or asset name
- Volume source being used (highlighted in orange for futures, yellow for native volume)
- Current high volume status
This provides complete transparency about which data source the indicator is using for its volume analysis.
## How to Use
### Basic Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. The indicator displays in a separate pane (MACD) and overlay (signals/volume bars)
3. Default settings work well for most assets, but can be customized
### Signal Interpretation
### Visual Signals
**Visual Signals:**
- **Green "BUY" label** - Bullish MACD crossover confirmed by high volume
- **Red "SELL" label** - Bearish MACD crossunder confirmed by high volume
- **Green/Red candles** - Highlight bars with volume exceeding the threshold
- **Light green/red background** - Emphasizes signal bars on the chart
**Information Table:**
A detailed information table appears in the top-right corner of the MACD pane, providing real-time transparency about the indicator's operation:
- **Chart:** Current symbol being analyzed
- **Exchange:** The exchange or data feed being used
- **Pair:** The currency pair or asset name extracted from the ticker
- **Volume From:** The actual symbol used for volume analysis
- Orange color indicates CME or COMEX futures are being used (automatic institutional volume)
- Yellow color indicates native volume from the chart symbol is being used
- Hover tooltip shows whether automatic futures mapping is active
- **High Volume:** Current status showing YES (green) when volume exceeds threshold, NO (gray) otherwise
This table ensures complete transparency and allows you to verify that the correct volume source is being used for your analysis.
**Volume Analysis:**
- Gray histogram bars = Normal volume
- Red histogram bars = High volume (exceeds threshold)
- Green line = Volume moving average baseline
**MACD Analysis:**
- Blue line = MACD line (momentum indicator)
- Orange line = Signal line (trend confirmation)
- Gray dotted line = Zero line (bullish above, bearish below)
### Parameter Customization
**MACD Parameters:**
- Adjust Fast/Slow EMA lengths for different sensitivities
- Shorter periods = More signals, faster response
- Longer periods = Fewer signals, less noise
**Volume Parameters:**
- **Volume MA Period:** Higher values smooth volume analysis
- **High Volume Ratio:** Lower values (1.5x) = More signals; Higher values (3.0x) = Fewer, stronger signals
- **Volume Lookback Bars:** Controls how recent the volume spike must be
**Direction Filters:**
- **Only Buy Signals:** Enables long-only strategy mode
- **Only Sell Signals:** Enables short-only strategy mode
### Alert Configuration
The indicator includes three alert types:
1. **Buy Signal Alert** - Triggers when bullish signal appears
2. **Sell Signal Alert** - Triggers when bearish signal appears
3. **High Volume Alert** - Triggers when volume exceeds threshold
To set up alerts:
1. Click the indicator name → "Add alert on Smart MACD Volume Trader"
2. Select desired alert condition
3. Configure notification method (popup, email, webhook, etc.)
## Trading Strategy Guidelines
### Best Practices
**Recommended markets:**
- Liquid stocks (large-cap, high daily volume)
- Major forex pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, NZDUSD)
- Exotic forex pairs (USDMXN, USDRUB, USDBRL, USDZAR)
- Cross pairs (EURJPY, GBPJPY, EURGBP, AUDJPY, EURAUD, GBPAUD)
- Precious metals (Gold, Silver with automatic COMEX futures mapping)
- Energy commodities (Crude Oil, Natural Gas with automatic NYMEX futures mapping)
- Industrial metals (Copper with automatic COMEX futures mapping)
- Major cryptocurrency pairs
- Index futures and ETFs
**Timeframe recommendations:**
- **Day trading:** 5-minute to 15-minute charts
- **Swing trading:** 1-hour to 4-hour charts
- **Position trading:** Daily charts
**Risk management:**
- Use signals as entry confirmation, not standalone strategy
- Combine with support/resistance levels
- Consider overall market trend direction
- Always use stop-loss orders
### Strategy Examples
**Trend Following Strategy:**
1. Identify overall trend using higher timeframe (e.g., daily chart)
2. Trade only in trend direction
3. Use "Only Buy" filter in uptrends, "Only Sell" in downtrends
4. Enter on signal, exit on opposite signal or at resistance/support
**Volume Breakout Strategy:**
1. Wait for consolidation period (low volume, tight MACD range)
2. Enter when signal appears with high volume (confirms breakout)
3. Target previous swing highs/lows
4. Stop loss below/above recent consolidation
**Forex Scalping Strategy (with automatic CME futures):**
1. The indicator automatically detects forex pairs and uses CME futures volume
2. Trade during active sessions only (use session filter)
3. Focus on quick profits (10-20 pips)
4. Exit at opposite signal or profit target
**Commodities Trading Strategy (Gold, Silver, Oil):**
1. The indicator automatically maps to COMEX and NYMEX futures contracts
2. Trade during high-liquidity sessions (overlap of major markets)
3. Use the high volume confirmation to identify institutional entry points
4. Combine with key support and resistance levels for entries
5. Monitor the information table to confirm futures volume is being used (orange color)
6. Exit on opposite MACD signal or at predefined profit targets
## Why This Combination Works
### The Volume Advantage
Studies consistently show that price movements accompanied by high volume are more likely to continue, while low-volume movements often reverse. This indicator leverages this principle by requiring volume confirmation.
**Key benefits:**
1. **Reduced False Signals:** Eliminates MACD whipsaws during low-volume consolidation
2. **Confirmation Bias:** Two independent indicators (price momentum + volume) agreeing
3. **Institutional Alignment:** High volume often indicates institutional participation
4. **Trend Validation:** Volume confirms that price momentum has "conviction"
### Statistical Edge
By combining two uncorrelated signals (MACD crossovers and volume spikes), the indicator creates a higher-probability setup than either signal alone. The lookback mechanism ensures signals aren't missed if volume spike slightly precedes the MACD cross.
## Supported Exchanges and Automatic Detection
The indicator includes intelligent asset detection that works across multiple exchanges and ticker formats:
**Forex Exchanges (Automatic CME Mapping):**
- FX (TradingView forex feed)
- OANDA
- FXCM
- SAXO
- FOREXCOM
- PEPPERSTONE
- EASYMARKETS
- FX_IDC
**Commodity Exchanges (Automatic COMEX/NYMEX Mapping):**
- TVC (TradingView commodity feed)
- COMEX (directly)
- NYMEX (directly)
- ICEUS
**Other Asset Classes (Native Volume):**
- Stock exchanges (NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX, etc.)
- Cryptocurrency exchanges (BINANCE, COINBASE, KRAKEN, etc.)
- Index providers (SP, DJ, etc.)
The detection algorithm analyzes three factors:
1. Exchange prefix in the ticker symbol
2. Pattern matching for currency pairs (6-letter codes)
3. Commodity identifiers in the symbol name
This ensures accurate automatic detection regardless of which data feed or exchange you use for charting. The information table in the top-right corner always displays which volume source is being used, providing complete transparency.
## Technical Details
**Calculations:**
- MACD Fast MA: EMA(close, fastLength)
- MACD Slow MA: EMA(close, slowLength)
- MACD Line: Fast MA - Slow MA
- Signal Line: SMA(MACD Line, signalLength)
- Volume MA: Exponential MA of volume
- High Volume: Current volume >= Volume MA × Ratio
**Signal logic:**
```
Buy Signal = (MACD crosses above Signal) AND (High volume in last N bars)
Sell Signal = (MACD crosses below Signal) AND (High volume in last N bars)
```

## Optimization Tips
**For volatile markets (crypto, small caps):**
- Increase High Volume Ratio to 2.5-3.0
- Reduce Volume Lookback to 3-4 bars
- Consider faster MACD settings (8, 17, 9)
**For stable markets (large-cap stocks, bonds):**
- Decrease High Volume Ratio to 1.5-1.8
- Increase Volume MA Period to 30-50
- Use standard MACD settings
**For forex (with automatic CME futures):**
- The indicator automatically uses CME futures when forex pairs are detected
- Set appropriate trading session based on your timezone
- Use Volume Lookback of 5-7 bars
- Consider session-based alerts only
- Monitor the information table to verify correct futures mapping
**For commodities (Gold, Silver, Oil, Copper):**
- The indicator automatically maps to COMEX and NYMEX futures
- Increase High Volume Ratio to 2.0-2.5 for metals
- Use slightly higher Volume MA Period (25-30) for smoother analysis
- Trade during active market hours for best volume data
- The information table will show the futures contract being used (orange highlight)
## Limitations and Considerations
**What this indicator does NOT do:**
- Does not predict future price direction
- Does not guarantee profitable trades
- Does not replace proper risk management
- Does not work well in extremely low-volume conditions
**Market conditions to avoid:**
- Pre-market and after-hours sessions (low volume)
- Major news events (volatile, unpredictable volume)
- Holidays and low-liquidity periods
- Extremely low float stocks
## Conclusion
Smart MACD Volume Trader represents a significant evolution of the traditional MACD indicator by combining volume confirmation with automatic institutional volume integration. This dual-confirmation approach significantly improves signal quality by filtering out low-conviction price movements and ensuring traders work with accurate volume data.
The indicator's automatic detection and mapping system supports over 24 instruments across forex, commodities, and metals markets. By intelligently switching to CME and COMEX futures contracts when appropriate, the indicator provides forex and commodity traders with the same quality of volume data that stock traders naturally have access to.
This indicator is particularly valuable for traders who want to:
- Align their entries with institutional money flow
- Avoid getting trapped in false breakouts

Ticker Info & Look-Ahead Lines (W/D)This versatile Pine Script indicator for trading views clearly displays current chart information and predicts and plots important future timeframe boundaries (next week, the day after tomorrow, etc.).
Key Features of the Indicator 📈
This indicator is divided into three main sections:
1. Ticker/Timeframe Display
Clearly displays the current ticker and timeframe on the chart.
Customization: You can set the display position (top/middle/bottom, left/center/right), font size, default text color, and background color.
Auto Color by Timeframe: The text color automatically changes depending on the timeframe, allowing you to quickly visually grasp the current timeframe.
2. Weekly Look-Ahead Lines
Predicts the start times of the next week and the week after from the time the current bar is determined, and plots them as vertical lines on the chart.
Display Control: You can toggle the visibility of individual lines.
Style: You can set the line color and style (dotted, dashed, solid).
Maximum Number of Lines Displayed: You can control the number of previously drawn lines to retain (consumes two lines per set).
💡 Daily Chart Specific Filter
When viewing a daily chart, this filter hides all past weekly lines and displays only the most recent two (the lines for the following week and the week after). This significantly reduces the visual noise on the daily chart.
3. Daily Look-Ahead Lines
These lines predict the start times of the next and the day after tomorrow from the time the current bar is determined, and are drawn as vertical lines on the chart.
Display Control/Style: As with weekly lines, you can set the visibility, color, and style of lines.
Maximum Number of Lines Displayed: You can control the number of previously drawn lines to retain (consumes two lines per set).
4. Master Timeframe Filter
This is a master ON/OFF switch that centrally manages the automatic hiding of both weekly and daily lines except for the appropriate timeframe.
Auto-hide Daily Lines: When displaying a chart with a timeframe greater than the line's base timeframe, such as a daily, weekly, or monthly chart, the daily lines will be automatically hidden.
Auto-hide Weekly Lines: When displaying a weekly or monthly chart, the weekly lines will be automatically hidden.
This feature allows you to clearly see the leading lines when analyzing shorter timeframes, while preventing the chart from becoming cluttered with lines when switching to longer timeframes (daily or longer).
このインジケーターは、現在のチャート情報を明確に表示し、さらに将来の重要な時間軸の区切り（翌週、明後日など）を予測して描画する機能を持つ、トレーディングビュー用の多機能な Pine Script インジケーターです。
インジケーターの主要機能 (Key Features) 📈
このインジケーターは、以下の3つの主要なセクションに分かれています。
1. 銘柄・時間足情報表示 (Ticker/Timeframe Display)
チャート上に現在の銘柄名 (Ticker) と時間足 (Timeframe) を分かりやすく表示します。
カスタマイズ: 表示位置（上/中/下、左/中央/右）、文字サイズ、デフォルトの文字色、背景色を設定できます。
時間足別自動カラー: 時間足に応じて文字色が自動的に変わるオプションがあり、現在の時間足を視覚的に素早く把握できます。
2. 週足先行ライン (Weekly Look-Ahead Lines)
現在の足が確定した時点から見た、翌週と再来週の開始時刻を予測し、チャートに垂直線として描画します。
表示制御: ラインの表示/非表示を個別に切り替えられます。
スタイル: ラインの色とスタイル（点線、破線、実線）を設定できます。
最大表示本数: 過去に描画されたラインを何本まで保持するかを制御できます（1組あたり2本消費）。
💡 日足チャート限定フィルター (Daily Chart Specific Filter)
特に日足チャートを表示しているときに、過去の週足ラインをすべて非表示にし、直近の2本（翌週と再来週のライン）のみを表示するフィルター機能があります。これにより、日足チャートの視覚的なノイズを大幅に減らせます。
3. 日足先行ライン (Daily Look-Ahead Lines)
現在の足が確定した時点から見た、翌日と明後日の開始時刻を予測し、チャートに垂直線として描画します。
表示制御・スタイル: 週足ラインと同様に、ラインの表示/非表示、色、スタイルを設定できます。
最大表示本数: 過去のライン保持数を制御できます（1組あたり2本消費）。
4. 時間足フィルター一括制御 (Master Timeframe Filter)
週足ラインと日足ラインの両方に対し、適切な時間足以外での自動非表示を一括で管理するマスターON/OFFスイッチです。
日足ラインの自動非表示: 日足、週足、月足チャートなど、ラインの元となる時間足以上のチャートを表示している場合、日足ラインを自動で非表示にします。
週足ラインの自動非表示: 週足、月足チャートを表示している場合、週足ラインを自動で非表示にします。
この機能は、短期足での分析時には先行ラインを明確に見せつつ、長期足（日足以上）に切り替えた際にチャートが線で cluttered になるのを防ぎます。
Moving Averages: 09-21-55-200 - Multiple Times Frames v2This is a multi-timeframe 9ema, 21ema, 55ema and the 200 SMA for the 1 minute, 2minute, 5 minute and 15 minute timeframes. SO when you are on any of these time-frames it will show the EMAs and SMAs for the other levels.
Granny Strategy [rdjxyz]This is the Granny Strategy, as described on TG Capital's Sunday Service stream .
Definitions
C0 - Candle 0 - the candle where the FVG start is plotted
C1 - Candle 1 - the candle that drives the FVG
C2 - Candle 2 - the candle where the FVG end is plotted
C3 - Candle 3 - the entry candle (assuming all criteria are met)
👵🏻 - Valid setup
🤡 - Invalid setup
The Setup
*As described on the stream.
*Look for longs when price is above 50 EMA; look for shorts when price is below the 50 EMA.
FVG is printed
C2 sweeps the low of C1 and closes bullish (for longs) or sweeps the high of C1 and closes bearish (for shorts)
C3 inverts FVG and closes below C1 open (for longs) or above C1 open (for shorts)
If criteria above is met, position is entered on the close of C3 with stop loss at the low of C3 (for longs) or high of C3 (for shorts)
Inputs
Time Window Filter - only look for setups within a certain range of time
EMA length - original strategy calls for 50
Stop loss offset - ticks to offset stop loss from low (for longs) / high (for shorts) of C3
Risk:Reward ratio - take profit as a multiple of the stop loss size from entry
Break even stop loss - optional, move stop loss to break even after price reaches a specific R:R; e.g. once price hits 1:1 R:R, move stop loss to break even
Exception Inputs
Allow some exceptions to the rigid rules
Select which candle in the sequence the EMA filter is applied to (can produce different results)
Disable EMA bias filter (will find shorts when price is above EMA and longs when price is below)
Allow C3 to close inside of FVG (instead of completely inverting it)
Allow C3 to close above C1 open (for longs) or below C1 open (for shorts)
Allow C2 to close opposite of setup direction; e.g. if long, C2 is allowed to close as a bearish candle instead of bullish candle
Play around with the different settings on various timeframes and instruments to find rules that work best for your strategy goals. Or just use it to find valid vs. invalid setups historically.
Will be working on adding a trailing stop loss.
Leave a comment with any bugs or ideas you have to improve the strategy.
IMPORTANT
Adjust account size, position size, commissions, etc in the properties tab for accurate results!
