Ehlers Stochastic Center Of Gravity [CC]The Stochastic Center Of Gravity Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Cybernetic Analysis For Stocks And Futures pgs 79-80), and this is one of the many cycle scripts that I have created but not published yet because, to be honest, I don't use cycle indicators in my everyday trading. Many of you probably do, so I will start publishing my big backlog of cycle-based indicators. These indicators work best with a trend confirmation or some other confirmation indicator to pair with it. The current cycle is the length of the trend, and since most stocks generally change their underlying trend quite often, especially during the day, it makes sense to adjust the length of this indicator to match the stock you are using it on. As you can see, the indicator gives constant buy and sell signals during a trend which is why I recommend using a confirmation indicator.
I have color-coded it to use lighter colors for normal signals and darker colors for strong signals. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other scripts you would like to see me publish!

Volume Anomaly DetectorThis indicator is designed to detect volume anomalies such as block orders, large institutional orders, and sweep orders. It works by comparing the current volume to the moving average of volume and identifying deviations that exceed a specified threshold. By detecting anomalous volume, it can help traders identify potential market-moving events and anticipate changes in price direction.
One key difference between this indicator and others is its focus on volume anomalies rather than just overall volume or price movements. This can provide traders with additional insights into market conditions and help them identify trading opportunities that may not be visible using other indicators.
In terms of timeframe and market conditions, this indicator can be used on any timeframe and in any market where volume data is available. However, it may be particularly useful in markets with high liquidity and significant institutional participation, such as equities and futures markets. It may also be most effective during periods of heightened volatility or when significant news or events are expected to impact the market. As with any trading indicator, it's important to use it in conjunction with other tools and analysis to confirm signals and make informed trading decisions.
Trading Day Holidays: 8am reminder of early closing day ahead-Designed for Index Futures(ES,NQ,YM). 8am Visual reminder on the morning of a holiday trading day that trading will cease at 1pm (NY time).
-This is updated and stripped down version of @Daveatt's 2020 script: 'BEST USA Bank Holidays Helper'.
-Simply marks 'HOLIDAY' on the holiday trading days, at 8am NY time on that day. Past 'HOLIDAY' labels will delete when new ones print.
-Should be 9 of these 'half-day' days throughout the year (not including Xmas period)
~I plan to update this each year
Anchored SMAThis is not your usual single moving average (SMA) indicator. It is an anchored SMA indicator. The anchored SMA does what other SMAs cannot--it stays at an anchored timeframe and presents that SMA relative to the timeframe you are in. For example, standard SMA indicators adjust to the timeframe you are viewing in your chart. So if you set it to a 20 day SMA while in the 1 Day timeframe, when you switch to the 5 minute timeframe, your 20 day SMA now becomes a 100 minute SMA indicator--that is it is only calculating the SMA for 20 ticks at 5 minutes each rather than holding the 20 day indicator at the higher timeframe. However, with the anchored SMA, the indicator would have held at the 20 day SMA while you were in the 5 minute timeframe.
The default setting is for the anchored SMA is the five day SMA. This can be adjusted in the settings to be any amount of ticks in any timeframe you choose from 1 minute to 1 week. The indicator does not hold accurately at timeframes outside of this range. The accompanying chart is the SPX in the 15 minute timeframe with the default anchored SMA settings in blue and the standard 200 tick SMA in black. Now, you could manually adjust the ticks to 130 SMA to fit the same blue line, but why do so when the anchored SMA does it for you?
This brings us to a very important note--this indicator is set to standard market hours at 6.5 hours per day. This means this indicator would not give the same results in markets with different hours, such as futures, FOREX, or Crypto markets. This only holds for equity markets. However, that is not to say it cannot be used in these other markets, it's that it wouldn't be the same result. Anyway, enjoy!
Baseline Cross Qualifier Volatility Strategy with HMA Trend BiasFor trading ES on 30min Chart
Trading Rules
Post Baseline Cross Qualifier (PBCQ): If price crosses the baseline but the trade is invalid due to additional qualifiers, then the strategy doesn't enter a trade on that candle. This setting allows you override this disqualification in the following manner: If price crosses XX bars ago and is now qualified by other qualifiers, then the strategy enters a trade.
Volatility: If price crosses the baseline, we check to see how far it has moved in terms of multiples of volatility denoted in price (ATR x multiple). If price has moved by at least "Qualifier multiplier" and less than "Range Multiplier", then the strategy enters a trade. This range is shown on the chart with yellow area that tracks price above/blow the baseline. Also, see the dots at the top of the chart. If the dots are green, then price passes the volatility test for a long. If the dots are red, then price passes the volatility test for a short.
Take Profit/Stoploss Quantity Removed
1 Take Profit: 100% of the trade is closed when the profit target or stoploss is reached.
2 Take Profits: Quantity is split 50/50 between Take Profit 1 and Take Profit 2
3 Take Profits: Quantify is split 50/25/25.

Price Legs: Time & Distance. Measuring moves in time & price-Tool to measure price legs in terms of both time and price; gives an idea of frequency of market movements and their typical extent and duration.
-Written for backtesting: seeing times of day where setups are most likely to unfold dynamically; getting an idea of typical and minimum sizes of small/large legs.
-Two sets of editable lookback numbers to measure both small and large legs independently.
-Works across timeframes and assets (units = mins/hours/days dependent on timeframe; units = '$' for indices & futures, 'pips' for FX).
~toggle on/off each set of bull/bear boxes.
~choose lookback/forward length for each set. Increase number for larger legs, decrease for smaller legs.

Candle LevelsCandle Levels
Allows chart levels to be plotted automatically, simply add tool to chart and the interactive mode will prompt for candle selection, timeframe anchor and some label choices such as displaying time, price or disabling labels altogether.
Also a note can be supplied that will be shown in the labels if they're displayed, if not it'll be up in the indicator values if those are enabled. Colors and individual labels can be customized, encourage saving over defaults for repeated usage.
Levels calculated:
Standard OHLC
Close to open mid point
High to low mid point
High wick mid point (either between close or open, whichever is higher)
Low wick mid point (either between close or open, whichever is lower)
I have plans to better detected levels and labels overlap to perhaps do something with that, for now manually toggling display of label should suffice.
I've tested with various markets such as futures, standard stock markets and also various higher and lower timeframes, if something is found to not be working please let me know.
Enjoy!
Setup Max e Min Larry WilliansLarry Williams used this system to win the trading championship
Hello friends, I bring a script with a trading strategy to be used in futures such as Index, Forex and Commodities. Developed by famous trader Larry Williams.
In them we use two 3-period Simple Moving Averages (Arithmetic) (one with the high price, the other with the low price), and a 21-period Moving Average (Arithmetic) to determine the trend. This will form an average channel with the prices of the maximums and minimums of the last three candles.
Best time charts use the strategy: from 5 minutes to 60 minutes.
This strategy is quite simple. The 21 Moving Average will color according to the trend (Green for bullish, Red for bearish and Gray for transitions). The Script will signal the entry according to the trend by the colors of the candles and also by the signal:
When green, the buy will be on the crossing of the lower Moving Average crossing the candlestick, and the exit will be on the crossing of the candlestick on the next Upper Moving Average.
When red, the sell will be at the crossing of the Upper Moving Average crossing the candlestick, and the exit will be at the crossing of the candlestick on the next Lower Moving Average.
When the Script signals the candle with a purple X, it means that the trend is changing and the entire open operation must be closed.
This system has no Stop, so be careful when using it.

Larry Williams usou esse sistema ganhar campeonato de trade
Olá amigos, trago um script com uma estratégia de trade pra ser usada em futuros como Índice, Forex e Commodities. Desenvolvido pelo famoso trader Larry Willians.
Neles usamos duas Médias Móveis Simples (Aritmética) de 3 períodos (uma com o preço da máxima, outra com o preço da mínima), e uma Média Móvel (Aritmética) de 21 períodos para determinar a tendência. Nisso vai formar uma canal de médias com os preços das máximas e mínimas dos últimos três candles.
Melhores tempos gráficos usar a estratégia: de 5 minutos até 60 minutos.
Essa estratégia é bem simples. A Média Móvel de 21 irá colorir de acordo com a tendência (Green pra alta, Red para baixa e Gray para transições). O Script irá sinalizar a entrada de acordo com a tendência pela cores dos candles e também pela sinalização:
Quando green, a compra será no cruzamento da Média Móvel inferior cruzando o candle, e a saida será no cruzamento do candle na Média Móvel Superior seguinte.
Quando red, a venda será no cruzamento da Média Móvel Superior cruzando o candle, e a saida será no cruzamento do candle na Média Móvel Inferior seguinte.
Quando o Script sinaliza o candle com X purple, significa que a tendência está em mudança e deve ser fechada toda a operação em aberto.
Este sistema não possui Stop, portando cuidado quanto a seu uso.
VWAP 3x Session Reset- This VWAP aims to be used with futures and forex.
- The VWAP is reset at the beginning of each session.
- 3 different sessions can be specified.
- The lines are not drawn when there is no active session.
- The upper and lower bands with standard deviation 2 are also drawn.
Info: The time zone of the picture is Europe/Berlin
Pivot and Price DiscoveryA Population Sampled linear regression model that provides additional detail about the distribution moments (skew, kurtosis, variance and mean) as well as providing indicators that track when a pivot has enough momentum to trade on as well as expected ranges of future price action based on Std Devs.
For the momentum lines -- red indicates that there has been a reducing pivot with momentum, this continues as a grey line for continuation, and will be cancelled when an increasing pivot with momentum is encountered.
Forward looking trend triangle captures the +/- stated standard deviation from the latest bar_index over 2 periods. Movements that trace outside of this can be considered a precursor to an upcoming pivot, and by analyzing skewness and kurtosis, the probability of an upcoming pivot should be better understood.
I have really only looked at this for timescales greater than 5 minutes. Adjust the lookback length accordingly when moving to different timescales:
For example, 1 hr at 10m timescale will be a lookback length of 6 which is too low for accurate analysis, so keep the lookback length appropriate for the timescales being used.
Also realize that trade volume will skew the deviations and regression if you are including data outside of regular trading hours (futures are different, but also experience volume sensitivity -- I maylook into accounting for this in future versions.)

• HOW TO USE:
Used for confirmation when watching futures that can experience quick movements in the form of liquidation-events. If the oscillator is green or trending upward, it's confirming a positive bias. The inverse is true for a negative bias. This is especially true on higher timeframes.
Can also be used to find correlations between different tech-assets.
• NOTES:
I forked JaggedSofts indicator to fix the data-source error it was having. Let me know if you want to customize exchanges or add more pairs, maybe I can add that in the future!
This indicator replaces the outdated alternative linked here : Please only use this one
• LIMITATIONS:
Only tested with normal japanese candlesticks .
• THANKS:
to the creator of this script, JaggedSoft. It's a great indicator!

RSI Multi Alerts MTFThis indicator won't plot anything to the chart.
Please follow steps below to set your alarms based on RSI oversold and overbought levels:
1) Add indicator to the chart
2) Go to settings
3) Choose up to 8 different symbols to get alert notification
4) Choose up to 4 different timeframes
5) Set overbought and oversold levels
6) Once all is set go back to the chart and click on 3 dots to set alert in this indicator, rename your alert and confirm
7) You can remove indicator after alert is set and it'll keep working as expected
What is does:
This indicator will generate alerts based on symbols, timeframes and RSI levels settings.
It will consider overbought and oversold levels to alert in each symbol and each timeframe selected. Once these levels are achieved it will send an alert with the following information:
- Symbol name (BTC, ETH, LTC)
- Specific RSI level achieved (e.g: RSI 30, RSI 70 or any custom level)
- Timeframe (e.g: 5m, 1h, 1D)
- Current symbol price
This script will request RSI OB/OS information through request.security() function from all different symbols and timeframes settings. It also requests symbols' price (close).
Due to Tradingview limitation (40 requests calls) it can only request information for 8 symbols for this script (8 symbols X 4 timeframes = 32 + 8 symbols' price (close) = 40)
Standard symbols are Binance USDT-M Futures but you can choose any symbol from Tradingview.
Standard timeframes are 5m|15m|1h|4h but you can choose from a list.
Standard overbought and oversold levels are 70 and 30 but you can change it to other integer values.
Feel free to give feedbacks on comments section below.
Enjoy!

Mean Reversion DotsMarkets tend to mean revert. This indicator plots a moving average from a higher time frame (type of MA and length selectable by the user). It then calculates standard deviations in two dimensions:
- Standard deviation of move of price away from this moving average
- Standard deviations of number of bars spent in this extended range
The indicator plots a table in the upper right corner with the % of distance of price from the moving average. It then plots 'mean reversion dots' once price has been 1 or more standard deviations away from the moving average for one or more standard deviations number of bars. The dots change color, becoming more intense, the longer the move persists. Optionally, the user can display the standard deviations in movement away from the moving average as channels, and the user can also select which levels of moves they want to see. Opting to see only more extreme moves will result in fewer signals, but signals that are more likely to imminently result in mean reversion back to the moving average.
In my opinion, this indicator is more likely to be useful for indices, futures, commodities, and select larger cap names.
Combinations I have found that work well for SPX are plotting the 30min 21ema on a 5min chart and the daily 21ema on an hourly chart.
In many cases, once mean reversion dots for an extreme enough move (level 1.3 or 2.2 and above) begin to appear, a trade may be initiated from a support/resistance level. A safer way to use these signals is to consider them as a 'heads up' that the move is overextended, and then look for a buy/sell signal from another indicator to initiate a position.
Note: I borrowed the code for the higher timeframe MA from the below indicator. I added the ability to select type of MA.
LiquidationsFirst, thanks to the following Tradingview community members for providing open source indicators that I used to develop this indicator!
Liquidations by volume (spot/futures) - @Thomas_Davison
Pivot and liquidation lines - @lmatl
Let me know if either of you do not approve and I will remove the indicator.
This indicator uses pivot points, volume and a liquidation percentage to determine potential liquidation levels. These are not exact but can give traders an idea of potential support or resistance levels.
Pivot points: Currently the pivot points are set to look left 5 bars and right 2 bars. This will determine the high and lows in the chart.
Volume: Assuming that high volume bars are where more leverage is used, this indicator uses the average volume over a 1000 bar period to determine to determine a baseline. I have arbitrarily set 100x lines to 20% above the average volume, 50x lines 10% above, 25x lines 5% above, 10x lines 2.5% above and 5x lines 1.25% above.
Liquidation: Finally, we are making a few assumptions on how liquidations are calculated. The following table includes the percentage a position can decline before being liquidated.
Short: Long:
100x 0.51% 0.49%
50x 1.55% 1.47%
25x 3.70% 3.38%
10x 5.11% 4.67%
5x 6.705% 6.115%
Let me know if there are any questions or if anyone has any improvements!
ILM Seasonality Monthly - Day of Month - Tabular FormUse this indicator on Daily Timeframe
This indicator displays the seasonality data for any instrument (index/stock/ futures /currency) in a tabular data by day of the month (Day 1..31).
User can change the start of the year and month for analysis from the inputs.
Year is represented in rows and Day of the month (Day) is represented in cols.
This indicator uses Daily Data feed to calculate the % change
Summary data for Day of month is displayed at the bottom of the table
Custom OBV OscillatorThis is a modified OBV indicator that creates an oscillator by smoothing the difference between the value of the OBV and a short moving average of the OBV. SMAs of the oscillator are also provided to study crosses and convergence/divergence.
The indicator should mostly be used on common stock, but works on futures contracts with some tuning and a shorter timeframe.
Combined Moving Averages + Squeeze & Volume Spike SignalsThis is a set of 4 combined moving averages. Each moving average is a combination of an EMA, SMA, HMA, RMA, WMA and VWMA with the same length as set in your input settings. All 6 of them are added together and then divided by 6 for an average of all of them. This is based on the theory that most traders use their own preference of moving averages, so combining them all should give us a better idea of where price should actually react since we are using the average of what most traders are using on their charts. It also smooths the moving averages out as well so you get a much easier to read moving average than any of them on their own which should help you hold positions longer and time your entries better.
The default lengths used for this indicator are as follows: 10, 50, 100 and 500. These lengths can be updated in the settings. The 10 and 500 will change colors when the individual moving average is less than or greater than its previous value. Price above or below the moving average does not affect the colors. The 50 and 100 are colored based on whether the 50 is greater/less than the 100.
The two middle length moving averages by default are the 50 and 100. This has been turned into a cloud because it is the area where price typically bounces, since tons of traders use the 50 and 100 moving averages. This should be your long/short zone when price is trending.
Each moving average can be set to use a different source such as close, open, high, low, ohlc4, etc. You can also adjust the length of each moving average. Default settings work well, but feel free to customize them to your liking. You can also change the colors of the lines in the settings.
Beware that changing the lengths of MA #2 and MA #3 will change the signals, squeezes and the cloud.
VOLUME SPIKES
The cloud will change to a brighter color when a volume spike is detected. When a major volume spike is detected, it will turn very bright colored green/red according to the direction of the cloud. This notifies you of volume spikes so you have a better idea of how strong the trend is. If the cloud is a dark green/red then that means that volume is less than or equal to the recent median volume.
SIGNALS
There are also signals that will be given when the current candle is in the cloud, the candle is going in the same direction as the cloud, the MA #2 and MA #3 is going in the same direction and a volume spike is detected. These help you identify good entries when markets are trending. Be cautious of these signals when the trend is sideways and not clearly moving in one direction. The signals can be turned on or off in the settings.
SQUEEZE
Many times when moving averages squeeze together, a big move happens shortly after. Because of this I added a yellow background color when a squeeze is detected. It looks at the median value difference of the MA #2 and MA #3 and if the current value difference is less than the median multiplied by the multiplier in the settings then it will change the background color to notify you. The default value of the multiplier is .6, meaning the squeeze signal will only show if the current value difference of the cloud is less than .6 of the median difference. The multiplier can be adjusted in the settings to suit your preferences. Lower values will only show tighter squeezes.
MARKETS
This indicator can be used on all markets including stocks, crypto, futures and forex.
TIMEFRAMES
This indicator can be used on all timeframes.
PAIRINGS
We recommend pairing this combined moving average with Trend Friend Swing Trade And Scalp Signals for extra confluence. Look for price to bounce in the cloud with good volume and a confirming signal from Trend Friend for highly probable moves.
Session candles & reversals / quantifytools— Overview
Like traditional candles, session based candles are a visualization of open, high, low and close values, but based on session time periods instead of typical timeframes such as daily or weekly. Session candles are formed by fetching price at session start (open), highest price during session (high), lowest price during session (low) and price at session end (close). On top of candles, session based moving average is formed and session reversals detected. Session reversals are also backtested, using win rate and magnitude metrics to better understand what to expect from session reversals and which ones have historically performed the best.
By default, following session time periods are used:
Session #1: London (08:00 - 17:00, UTC)
Session #2: New York (13:00 - 22:00, UTC)
Session #3: Sydney (21:00 - 06:00, UTC)
Session #4: Tokyo (00:00 - 09:00, UTC)
Session time periods can be changed via input menu.
— Reversals
Session reversals are patterns that show a rapid change in direction during session. These formations are more familiarly known as wicks or engulfing candles. Following criteria must be met to qualify as a session reversal:
Wick up:
Lower high, lower low, close >= 65% of session range (0% being the very low, 100% being the very high) and open >= 40% of session range.
Wick down:
Higher high, higher low, close <= 35% of session range and open <= 60% of session range.
Engulfing up:
Higher high, lower low, close >= 65% of session range.
Engulfing down:
Higher high, lower low, close <= 35% of session range.
Session reversals are always based on prior corresponding session , e.g. to qualify as a NY session engulfing up, NY session must have a higher high and lower low relative to prior NY session , not just any session that has taken place in between. Session reversals should be viewed the same way wicks/engulfing formations are viewed on traditional timeframe based candles. Essentially, wick reversals (light green/red labels) tell you most of the motion during session was reversed. Engulfing reversals (dark green/red labels) on the other hand tell you all of the motion was reversed and new direction set.
— Backtesting
Session reversals are backtested using win rate and magnitude metrics. A session reversal is considered successful when next corresponding session closes higher/lower than session reversal close . Win rate is formed by dividing successful session reversal count with total reversal count, e.g. 5 successful reversals up / 10 reversals up total = 50% win rate. Win rate tells us what are the odds (historically) of session reversal producing a clean supporting move that was persistent enough to close that way too.
When a session reversal is successful, its magnitude is measured using percentage increase/decrease from session reversal close to next corresponding session high/low . If NY session closes higher than prior NY session that was a reversal up, the percentage increase from prior session close (reversal close) to current session high is measured. If NY session closes lower than prior NY session that was a reversal down, the percentage decrease from prior session close to current session low is measured.
Average magnitude is formed by dividing all percentage increases/decreases with total reversal count, e.g. 10 total reversals up with 1% increase each -> 10% net increase from all reversals -> 10% total increase / 10 total reversals up = 1% average magnitude. Magnitude metric supports win rate by indicating the depth of successful session reversal moves.
To better understand the backtesting calculations and more importantly to verify their validity, backtesting visuals for each session can be plotted on the chart:
All backtesting results are shown in the backtesting panel on top right corner, with highest win rates and magnitude metrics for both reversals up and down marked separately. Note that past performance is not a guarantee of future performance and session reversals as they are should not be viewed as a complete strategy for long/short plays. Always make sure reversal count is sufficient to draw reliable conclusions of performance.
— Session moving average
Users can form a session based moving average with their preferred smoothing method (SMA , EMA , HMA , WMA , RMA) and length, as well as choose which sessions to include in the moving average. For example, a moving average based on New York and Tokyo sessions can be formed, leaving London and Sydney completely out of the calculation.
— Visuals
By default, script hides your candles/bars, although in the case of candles borders will still be visible. Switching to bars/line will make your regular chart visuals 100% hidden. This setting can be turned off via input menu. As some sessions overlap, each session candle can be separately offsetted forward, clearing the overlaps. Users can also choose which session candles to show/hide.
Session periods can be highlighted on the chart as a background color, applicable to only session candles that are activated. By default, session reversals are referred to as L (London), N (New York), S (Sydney) and T (Tokyo) in both reversal labels and backtesting table. By toggling on "Numerize sessions", these will be replaced with 1, 2, 3 and 4. This will be helpful when using a custom session that isn't any of the above.
Visual settings example:
Session candles are plotted in two formats, using boxes and lines as well as plotcandle() function. Session candles constructed using boxes and lines will be clear and much easier on the eyes, but will apply only to first 500 bars due to Tradingview related limitations. Rest of the session candles go back indefinitely, but won't be as clean:
All colors can be customized via input menu.
— Timeframe & session time period considerations
As a rule of thumb, session candles should be used on timeframes at or below 1H, as higher timeframes might not match with session period start/end, leading to incorrect plots. Using 1 hour timeframe will bring optimal results as greatest amount historical data is available without sacrificing accuracy of OHLC values. If you are using a custom session that is not based on hourly period (e.g. 08:00 - 15:00 vs. 08.00 - 15.15) make sure you are using a timeframe that allows correct plots.
Session time periods applied by default are rough estimates and might be out of bounds on some charts, like NYSE listed equities. This is rarely a problem on assets that have extensive trading hours, like futures or cryptocurrency. If a session is out of bounds (asset isn't traded during the set session time period) the script won't plot given session candle and its backtesting metrics will be NA. This can be fixed by changing the session time periods to match with given asset trading hours, although you will have to consider whether or not this defeats the purpose of having candles based on sessions.
— Practical guide
Whether based on traditional timeframes or sessions, reversals should always be considered as only one piece of evidence of price turning. Never react to them without considering other factors that might support the thesis, such as levels and multi-timeframe analysis. In short, same basic charting principles apply with session candles that apply with normal candles. Use discretion.
Example #1 : Focusing efforts on session reversals at distinct support/resistance levels
A reversal against a level holds more value than a reversal by itself, as you know it's a placement where liquidity can be expected. A reversal serves as a confirming reaction for this expectation.
Example #2 : Focusing efforts on highest performing reversals and avoiding poorly performing ones
As you have data backed evidence of session reversal performance, it makes sense to focus your efforts on the ones that perform best. If some session reversal is clearly performing poorly, you would want to avoid it, since there's nothing backing up its validity.
Example #3 : Reversal clusters
Two is better than one, three is better than two and so on. If there are rapid changes in direction within multiple sessions consecutively, there's heavier evidence of a dynamic shift in price. In such case, it makes sense to hold more confidence in price halting/turning.
