Enhanced Interval Candle with Breakout Detection and Detailed InThis indicator visualizes the last candle of a user-defined time interval (e.g., 1 hour, 4 hours, 1 day) on the current chart, providing enhanced details and breakout detection. It fetches the open, high, low, and close prices of the interval candle and draws a stylized representation of it, offset to the right of the current bar. The candle body and wicks are colored according to whether the interval candle closed bullishly (green) or bearishly (red). In addition to the candle itself, the indicator displays horizontal dotted lines representing the high, low, and midpoint of the interval candle, along with labels showing their exact values. These labels are dynamically updated as the interval candle changes. Furthermore, the script detects and visualizes breakouts of the interval candle's high or low. When the current price closes above the interval high, a green dashed line and a "Bullish Breakout" label are displayed. Conversely, when the current price closes below the interval low, a red dashed line and a "Bearish Breakout" label are shown. The breakout lines and labels are also dynamically updated. This indicator helps traders easily track the price action of a higher timeframe candle and spot potential breakouts based on that candle's range. The user can configure the time interval to suit their trading needs.
AI Volume Breakout for scalpingPurpose of the Indicator
This script is designed for trading, specifically for scalping, which involves making numerous trades within a very short time frame to take advantage of small price movements. The indicator looks for volume breakouts, which are moments when trading volume significantly increases, potentially signaling the start of a new price movement.
Key Components:
Parameters:
Volume Threshold (volumeThreshold): Determines how much volume must increase from one bar to the next for it to be considered significant. Set at 4.0, meaning volume must quadruplicate for a breakout signal.
Price Change Threshold (priceChangeThreshold): Defines the minimum price change required for a breakout signal. Here, it's 1.5% of the bar's opening price.
SMA Length (smaLength): The period for the Simple Moving Average, which helps confirm the trend direction. Here, it's set to 20.
Cooldown Period (cooldownPeriod): Prevents signals from being too close together, set to 10 bars.
ATR Period (atrPeriod): The period for calculating Average True Range (ATR), used to measure market volatility.
Volatility Threshold (volatilityThreshold): If ATR divided by the close price exceeds this, the market is considered too volatile for trading according to this strategy.
Calculations:
SMA (Simple Moving Average): Used for trend confirmation. A bullish signal is more likely if the price is above this average.
ATR (Average True Range): Measures market volatility. Lower volatility (below the threshold) is preferred for this strategy.
Signal Generation:
The indicator checks if:
Volume has increased significantly (volumeDelta > 0 and volume / volume >= volumeThreshold).
There's enough price change (math.abs(priceDelta / open) >= priceChangeThreshold).
The market isn't too volatile (lowVolatility).
The trend supports the direction of the price change (trendUp for bullish, trendDown for bearish).
If all these conditions are met, it predicts:
1 (Bullish) if conditions suggest buying.
0 (Bearish) if conditions suggest selling.
Cooldown Mechanism:
After a signal, the script waits for a number of bars (cooldownPeriod) before considering another signal to avoid over-trading.
Visual Feedback:
Labels are placed on the chart:
Green label for bullish breakouts below the low price.
Red label for bearish breakouts above the high price.
How to Use:
Entry Points: Look for the labels on your chart to decide when to enter trades.
Risk Management: Since this is for scalping, ensure each trade has tight stop-losses to manage risk due to the quick, small movements.
Market Conditions: This strategy might work best in markets with consistent volume and price changes but not extreme volatility.
Caveats:
This isn't real AI; it's a heuristic based on volume and price. Actual AI would involve machine learning algorithms trained on historical data.
Always backtest any strategy, and consider how it behaves in different market conditions, not just the ones it was designed for.

[blackcat] L1 Simple Dual Channel Breakout█ OVERVIEW
The script " L1 Simple Dual Channel Breakout" is an indicator designed to plot dual channel breakout bands and their long-term EMAs on a chart. It calculates short-term and long-term moving averages and deviations to establish upper, lower, and middle bands, which traders can use to identify potential breakout opportunities.
█ LOGICAL FRAMEWORK
Structure:
The script is structured into several main sections:
• Input Parameters: The script does not explicitly define input parameters for the user to adjust, but it uses default values for short_term_length (5) and long_term_length (181).
• Calculations: The calculate_dual_channel_breakout function performs the core calculations, including the blast condition, typical price, short-term and long-term moving averages, and dynamic moving averages.
• Plotting: The script plots the short-term bands (upper, lower, and middle) and their long-term EMAs. It also plots conditional line breaks when the short-term bands cross the long-term EMAs.
Flow of Data and Logic:
1 — The script starts by defining the calculate_dual_channel_breakout function.
2 — Inside the function, it calculates various moving averages and deviations based on the input prices and lengths.
3 — The function returns the calculated bands and EMAs.
4 — The script then calls this function with predefined lengths and plots the resulting bands and EMAs on the chart.
5 — Conditional plots are added to highlight breakouts when the short-term bands cross the long-term EMAs.
█ CUSTOM FUNCTIONS
The script defines one custom function:
• calculate_dual_channel_breakout(close_price, high_price, low_price, short_term_length, long_term_length): This function calculates the short-term and long-term bands and EMAs. It takes five parameters: close_price, high_price, low_price, short_term_length, and long_term_length. It returns an array containing the upper band, lower band, middle band, long-term upper EMA, long-term lower EMA, and long-term middle EMA.
█ KEY POINTS AND TECHNIQUES
• Typical Price Calculation: The script uses a modified typical price calculation (2 * close_price + high_price + low_price) / 4 instead of the standard (high_price + low_price + close_price) / 3.
• Short-term and Long-term Bands: The script calculates short-term bands using a simple moving average (SMA) of the typical price and long-term bands using a relative moving average (RMA) of the close price.
• Conditional Plotting: The script uses conditional plotting to highlight breakouts when the short-term bands cross the long-term EMAs, enhancing visual identification of trading signals.
• EMA for Long-term Trends: The use of Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) for long-term bands helps in smoothing out short-term fluctuations and focusing on long-term trends.
█ EXTENDED KNOWLEDGE AND APPLICATIONS
• Modifications: Users can add input parameters to allow customization of short_term_length and long_term_length, making the indicator more flexible.
• Enhancements: The script could be extended to include alerts for breakout conditions, providing traders with real-time notifications.
• Alternative Bands: Users might experiment with different types of moving averages (e.g., WMA, HMA) for the short-term and long-term bands to see if they yield better results.
• Additional Indicators: Combining this indicator with other technical indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD) could provide a more comprehensive trading strategy.
• Backtesting: Users can backtest the strategy using Pine Script's strategy functions to evaluate its performance over historical data.

Half Cup [LuxAlgo]The Half Cup indicator detects and displays patterns with the shape of a Half Cup , initiating a channel. From this channel, breakouts are detected and highlighted with dots.
Users can control the shape of the Half Cup and the channel length through various settings.
Do note that the displayed half cups are displayed retrospectively, making them subject to backpainting.
🔶 USAGE
The idea behind the indicator is derived from the Cup & Handle pattern, which requires waiting for the pattern full completion.
Our Half Cup publication aims to find opportunities when the potential cup is only formed halfway.
In this example, a green dot shows the first breakout of the upper channel extremity. A few bars later, the price went under it, after which it returned above, triggering a second green dot. Both triggers were good opportunities in this case, and the price rose afterward.
The Half Cup pattern can be the start of a potential complete Cup & Handle (As in the example above, a complete Cup pattern (without the Handle ) is shown, manually drawn with dashed lines).
Every green/red dot, whether on a bullish or bearish pattern, points to a breakout respectively above/below the channel.
Besides drawing patterns and the corresponding breakouts, the Half Cup indicator can also provide insights into trends and potential opportunities in the long run.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Validation
Several criteria must be fulfilled before a visible pattern on the chart is drawn.
Calculations are done beforehand to know where the Half Cup pattern would be positioned.
The pattern's bottom and top edges are checked for the number of bars whose closing price is outside the half-cup area. When the number of breakouts above/below is equal to or lower than the user-defined settings ( Max % Breaks Top/Bottom ), the pattern is drawn together with a brighter-colored channel next to it.
Dots highlighting the channel's breakout can be drawn from that moment until the end of both channel lines.
🔹 Positioning
Users can adjust the following settings to fit their needs:
% Broadness: Moves the Top/Bottom line (bullish or bearish) diagonally upwards/downwards.
Vertical Shift: Shifts the entire pattern up/down.
Channel Length: Sets the line length of the channel.
Note that adjusting the position of the pattern will change the validation; the script will be rerun to check if patterns are still valid or if new patterns can be drawn. Some patterns may disappear, while new ones may appear.
Before adjusting the position, the user can set Max % Breaks Top/Bottom at 100%. When the positioning is set, Max % Breaks Top/Bottom can be set as desired.
🔹 Updated Drawings
The Half Cup pattern is always drawn retrospectively (that is it is subject to backpainting), the channel is drawn from the bar from where the pattern is detected. Every breakout of the channel will remain visible as dots.
When a new swing high/low is found while the previous swing low/high remains the same, the pattern is updated to minimize clutter. The dots of earlier drawings will remain visible (to ensure no repainting occurs), but the color becomes faded, as such bright dots are associated with patterns that are visible on the chart, while faded dots are from removed/updated patterns.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Length: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer-term Swing Levels.
🔹 Validation
Max % Breaks Bottom: Allowed maximum amount of bars where the closing price is below the bottom of the Half Cup pattern against the total width of the pattern (bars).
Max % Breaks Top: Allowed maximum amount of bars where the closing price is above the top of the Half Cup pattern against the total width of the pattern (bars).
🔹 Positioning
% Broadness: Moves the Top/Bottom line (bullish or bearish) diagonally upwards/downwards.
Vertical Shift: Shifts the entire pattern up/down.
Channel Length: Sets the line length of the channel.
Pivot Points Level [TradingFinder] 4 Methods + Reversal lines🔵 Introduction
"Pivot Points" are places on the price chart where buyers and sellers are most active. Pivot points are calculated based on the previous day's price data and serve as reference points for traders to make decisions.
Types of Pivot Points :
Floor
Woodie
Camarilla
Fibonacci
🟣 Floor Pivot Points
Floor pivot points are widely used in technical analysis. The central pivot point (PP) serves as the main level of support or resistance, indicating the potential direction of the trend.
The first to third levels of resistance (R1, R2, R3) and support (S1, S2, S3) provide additional signals for potential trend reversals or continuations.
Floor Pivot Points Formula :
Pivot Point (PP): (H + L + C) / 3
First Resistance (R1): (2 * P) - L
Second Resistance (R2): P + H - L
Third Resistance (R3): H + 2 * (P - L)
First Support (S1): (2 * P) - H
Second Support (S2): P - H + L
Third Support (S3): L - 2 * (H - P)
🟣 Camarilla Pivot Points
Camarilla pivot points include eight levels that closely align with support and resistance. These points are particularly useful for setting stop-loss and profit targets.
Camarilla Pivot Points Formula :
Fourth Resistance (R4): (H - L) * 1.1 / 2 + C
Third Resistance (R3): (H - L) * 1.1 / 4 + C
Second Resistance (R2): (H - L) * 1.1 / 6 + C
First Resistance (R1): (H - L) * 1.1 / 12 + C
First Support (S1): C - (H - L) * 1.1 / 12
Second Support (S2): C - (H - L) * 1.1 / 6
Third Support (S3): C - (H - L) * 1.1 / 4
Fourth Support (S4): C - (H - L) * 1.1 / 2
🟣 Woodie Pivot Points
Woodie pivot points are similar to floor pivot points but place more emphasis on the closing price. This method often results in different pivot levels than the floor method.
Woodie Pivot Points Formula :
Pivot Point (PP): (H + L + 2 * C) / 4
First Resistance (R1): (2 * P) - L
Second Resistance (R2): P + H - L
First Support (S1): (2 * P) - H
Second Support (S2): P - H + L
🟣 Fibonacci Pivot Points
Fibonacci pivot points use the standard floor pivot points and then apply Fibonacci retracement levels to the range of the previous trading period. The common retracement levels used are 38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%.
Fibonacci Pivot Points Formula :
Pivot Point (PP): (H + L + C) / 3
Third Resistance (R3): PP + ((H - L) * 1.000)
Second Resistance (R2): PP + ((H - L) * 0.618)
First Resistance (R1): PP + ((H - L) * 0.382)
First Support (S1): PP - ((H - L) * 0.382)
Second Support (S2): PP - ((H - L) * 0.618)
Third Support (S3): PP - ((H - L) * 1.000)
These pivot point calculations help traders identify potential support and resistance levels, enabling more informed decision-making in their trading strategies.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Two Methods for Trading Pivot Points
There are two primary methods for trading pivot points: trading with "pivot point breakouts" and trading with "price reversals."
🟣 Pivot Point Breakout
A breakout through pivot lines provides a significant signal to the trader, indicating a change in market sentiment. When an upward breakout occurs and the price crosses these lines, a trader can enter a long position and place their stop-loss below the pivot point (P).
Similarly, if a downward breakout happens, a short order can be placed below the pivot point.
When trading with pivot point breakouts, if the upward trend breaks, the first and second support levels can be the trader's profit targets. In a downward trend, the first and second resistance levels will serve this role.
🟣 Price Reversal
Another method for trading pivot points is waiting for the price to reverse from the support and resistance levels. To execute this strategy, one should trade in the opposite direction of the trend as the price reverses from the pivot point.
It's worth noting that although traders use this tool in higher time frames, it yields better results in shorter time frames such as one-hour, 30-minute, and 15-minute intervals.
Support and Resistance with Signals [UAlgo]🔶 Description:
"Support and Resistance with Signals ", is designed to identify key support and resistance levels on a trading chart while also signaling potential retests (denoted as "R") and breakouts (denoted as "B"). The indicator dynamically plots support and resistance lines based on pivot points and adjusts them according to price action and sensitivity settings. It aims to assist traders in identifying significant price levels and potential reversal or breakout opportunities.
🔶 Key Features:
Pivot Points: The indicator calculates pivot highs and pivot lows based on a specified period length (Checks Left and Right bars). Adjust the length of the pivot period to control the sensitivity of support and resistance levels according to the your preferences.
Support and Resistance Lines: It plots support and resistance lines at the pivot high and pivot low points, respectively.
Retest and Breakout Signals: Signals are generated based on the sensitivity setting, which adds/subtracts a portion (half) of the Average True Range (ATR) to the pivot points. A retest signal ("R") is generated when the price approaches the support or resistance level within the sensitivity range. A breakout signal ("B") is generated when the price surpasses the support or resistance level.
Sensitivity (ATR Length): Modify the retest-breakout sensitivity length to fine-tune the generation of signals based on price volatility.
Maximum Lines : Limit the number of support and resistance lines displayed on the chart for clarity.
Line Colors and Width: Customize the colors and width of support and resistance lines for better visualization.
More Examples:
Before Retest Signal:
When the price enters the retest range at the specified sensitivity:

Range DetectionThis is a simple indicator to find the sideways market or ranging market.
It is mainly focused on BTCUSD as BTCUSD doesn’t make big moves each and every candle. It makes big breakouts with one candle and then goes sideways for a longer period of time.
So, this indicator identifies those big candles and plots high and lows of those big candles using lines. New range is created only when new candles close above or below previous major candles high or low.
Crypto Breakout Buy/Sell Sequence
⚙️ Components & Sequence Multiple Timeframe (What It Does)
1. Bollinger Bands – Form the foundation by measuring volatility and creating the dynamic range where squeezes and breakouts occur.
2. Squeeze Dots – Show when price compresses inside the bands, signaling reduced volatility before expansion.
3. Breakout Event (Brk Dot) – Fires when price expands beyond the squeeze zone, confirming volatility expansion. (This paints Intra, before candle close)
4. Buy Signal – Confirms entry after a breakout is validated. (This paints at candle close)
5. Pump Signal – Flags sudden surges that extend sharply from the bands, often linked to strong inflows.
6. Momentum Stream – Tracks the strength of movement following the breakout, from continuation (🟢) to slowing (🟡) to exhaustion (🔴). (Resets at Pump Signal)
7. Overbought Indicator – Confirms when momentum has reached overheated conditions, often aligning with band extremes.
8. Sell Signal – Prints when exhaustion/reversal conditions are met, closing the trade cycle.
The Crypto Breakout Buy/Sell Sequence is a no-repaint event indicator that maps a full trade cycle using Bollinger-band-based volatility states: Bollinger Bands → Squeeze → Breakout → Buy → Pump → Momentum → Top Test → Overbought → Sell. Each stage is rule-based and designed to be read on standard candlesticks.
How It Works (System Logic)
Volatility framework: Bollinger Bands define dynamic range and compression/expansion.
Initiation: Squeeze → Breakout confirms expansion; Buy validates participation after expansion begins.
Management: Pump highlights unusual acceleration; Momentum stream tracks continuation → slowing → exhaustion.
Exhaustion/Exit: Top Testing + Overbought build the exhaustion case; Sell marks the sequence end.
How To Use (Quick Guide)
Wait for Squeeze → Breakout → Buy to establish a structured start.
Manage with Momentum:
🟢 continuation, 🟡 slowing, 🔴 exhaustion pressure.
Monitor extremes: Top Testing and/or Overbought = tighten risk.
Exit on Sell or on your risk rules when exhaustion builds.
Limitations & Good Practice
Signals reflect price/volatility behavior, not certainty.
Strong trends can remain extended; Overbought/Top Test ≠ instant reversal.
Always confirm with your own risk rules, position sizing, and market context.
Initial public release: integrated Squeeze/Breakout/Buy → Momentum → Exhaustion → Sell cycle; improved label clarity; cleaned defaults.

CTA-min D1 — Donchian 55/20 Trend Breakout (ATR Risk)What it is
A clean, daily trend-following breakout inspired by classic CTA/Turtle logic. It buys strength and sells weakness, then lets winners run with a channel-based trailing stop. No curve-fitting, no clutter—just rules.
How it trades
Timeframe: Daily (D1)
Entry: Close breaks the previous 55-bar Donchian channel (above for longs, below for shorts).
Exit/Trail: Trailing stop at the 20-bar Donchian channel on the opposite side (no fixed TP).
Risk: Initial stop = ATR(N) × stopMult (ATR is smoothed). Position size risks riskPct% of equity based on stop distance.
Labels: “BUY/SELL” only on the entry bar; “STOP BUY/STOP SELL” only on the exit bar.
Pyramiding: Off (one position at a time).
Regime Alignment with EMAs (recommended filter, not enforced by code)
Add EMA 50 and EMA 200 to the D1 chart.
Long bias: take BUY signals only when EMA50 > EMA200 (bullish regime).
Short bias: take SELL signals only when EMA50 < EMA200 (bearish regime).
Optional: for extra selectivity, require the H4 EMAs (50/200) to align with D1 before acting on a signal.
Inputs
entryN (55), exitN (20), atrLen (20), atrSmooth (10), stopMult (2.0), riskPct (0.5%–1.0% recommended).
Works well on (tested by user)
BTCUSD (Bitcoin), EURUSD, GBPJPY, NAS100/US100, USDJPY, AUDUSD, XAGUSD (Silver), US30 (Dow), JP225 (Nikkei), EURGBP, NZDUSD, EURCHF, USDCHF.
How to use
Apply to D1 charts. Review once per day after the daily close and execute next session open to mirror backtest assumptions. Best used as a portfolio strategy across multiple uncorrelated markets. Use the EMA alignment above as a discretionary regime filter to reduce false breakouts.
Notes
For educational use. Markets involve risk; past performance does not guarantee future results. Use responsible position sizing.

Now, configure the single filter condition as follows:
In the first box, select Advanced Breakout Signal.
In the second box, select Equal to.
In the third box, select Number and type 1.
Your filter setup should look clean and simple, like this:
That's it! The screener will now display a list of all assets that currently meet the "Advanced Breakout" criteria for the timeframe you have selected (e.g., Daily, 4h, 1h).
4. Configuring the Lookback Period
By default, the indicator analyzes the last 20 periods. If you want to change this (for example, to scan for breakouts over 50 days), you must adjust it in the indicator's settings on your chart.
Go back to your chart view.
Find the "Advanced OBV Breakout Screener" panel.
Click the Settings icon (⚙️) next to the indicator's name.
In the "Inputs" tab, change the "Lookback Period (days)" to your desired value.
Click "OK".
The Pine Screener will automatically use this new setting for its market scan.
5. Understanding the On-Chart Visuals
When you add the indicator to your chart, you will see:
Blue Line: This is the On-Balance Volume (OBV).
Red Stepped Line: This represents the highest value the OBV has reached during the lookback period. A breakout happens when the blue line moves above this red line.
Green Triangle (▲): This symbol appears below a price candle whenever the full "Advanced Breakout" condition (OBV breakout + Price containment) is met, giving you a clear visual confirmation.
volatility-adjusted breakout envelopethis indicator is designed to help traders visually identify potential entry and exit points based on volatility-adjusted price thresholds. it works by calculating a dynamic expected price move around the previous close using historical volatility data smoothed by exponential moving averages to reduce noise and present a clear range boundary on the chart.
the indicator first computes the logarithmic returns over a user-defined lookback period and calculates the standard deviation of these returns, which represents raw volatility. it annualizes this volatility according to the chart timeframe selected, then uses it to estimate an expected price movement for the current timeframe. this expected move is smoothed to avoid sudden spikes or drops that could cause confusing signals.
using this expected move, the indicator generates two key threshold lines: an upper threshold and a lower threshold. these lines create a volatility-based range around the smoothed previous close price. the thresholds themselves are further smoothed with exponential moving averages to produce smooth, easy-to-interpret lines that adapt to changing market conditions without being choppy.
the core trading signals are generated when the price closes outside of these smoothed threshold ranges. specifically, a long entry signal is indicated when the price closes above the upper threshold for the first time, signaling potential upward momentum beyond normal volatility expectations. a short entry signal occurs when the price closes below the lower threshold for the first time, indicating potential downward momentum.
once an entry signal is triggered, the indicator waits for the price to close back inside the threshold range before signaling an exit. when this occurs, an exit marker is displayed to indicate that the price has returned within normal volatility bounds, which may suggest that the previous trend is losing strength or the breakout has ended.
these signals are visually represented on the chart using small shapes: triangles pointing upwards mark the initial long entries, triangles pointing downwards mark short entries, and x shapes mark the exits for both long and short positions. the colors of these shapes are customizable to suit user preferences.
to use this indicator effectively, traders should watch for the first close outside the smoothed volatility range to consider entering a position in the breakout direction. the exit signals help identify when price action reverts back into the expected range, which can be used to close or reduce the position. this method emphasizes trading breakouts supported by statistically significant moves relative to recent volatility while providing a clear exit discipline.
this indicator is best applied to intraday or daily charts with consistent volatility and volume characteristics. users should adjust the volatility lookback period, smoothing factor, and trading session times to match their specific market and trading style. because it relies on price volatility rather than fixed price levels, it can adapt to changing market conditions but should be combined with other analysis tools and proper risk management.
overall, this indicator provides a smoothed, dynamic volatility envelope with clear visual entry and exit cues based on first closes outside and back inside these envelopes, making it a helpful assistant for manual traders seeking to capture statistically significant breakouts while maintaining disciplined exits.
Squeeze & Breakout Confirmation StrategyThis strategy focuses on identifying periods of low volatility (Bollinger Band Squeeze) and then confirming the direction of the subsequent breakout with momentum, volume, and candle strength.
Concepts Applied: Bollinger Bands (Squeeze), RSI (Momentum), Market Volume (Conviction), Candle Size (Strength)
Buy Signal:
Bollinger Band Squeeze: Look for a period where the Bollinger Bands contract significantly, indicating low volatility and consolidation. The bands should be very close to the price action.
RSI Breakout: After the squeeze, wait for the price to break decisively above the upper Bollinger Band. Simultaneously, the RSI should break above 60 (or even 70), indicating strong bullish momentum.
Volume Surge: The breakout candle should be accompanied by a significant increase in trading volume, ideally above its recent average, confirming strong buying interest.
Strong Bullish Candle: The breakout candle itself should be a large, bullish candle (e.g., a strong green candle with a small upper wick or a bullish engulfing pattern), demonstrating buyer conviction.
Sell Signal (Short):
Bollinger Band Squeeze: Look for a period where the Bollinger Bands contract significantly.
RSI Breakdown: After the squeeze, wait for the price to break decisively below the lower Bollinger Band. Simultaneously, the RSI should break below 40 (or even 30), indicating strong bearish momentum.
Volume Surge: The breakdown candle should be accompanied by a significant increase in trading volume, ideally above its recent average, confirming strong selling interest.
Strong Bearish Candle: The breakdown candle itself should be a large, bearish candle (e.g., a strong red candle with a small lower wick or a bearish engulfing pattern), demonstrating seller conviction.

OBV Breakout Channel Strategy
This script is an evolution of a traditional OBV+SMA Crossover concept. Through personal testing, the original crossover method was found to have unsatisfactory performance. This new strategy, therefore, uses a "Breakout" principle. The inspiration comes from using ATR to create price channels, but this concept has been adapted and applied to On-Balance Volume (OBV) instead.
Furthermore, the script has been converted into a full Strategy (with assistance from Gemini AI) to enable precise backtesting and performance evaluation.
The strategy's core principle is momentum-based: "once a trend is established, it is likely to continue." It seeks to enter trades on exceptionally strong breakouts of buying or selling pressure as measured by OBV.
Core Concept
This is a Strategy that uses On-Balance Volume (OBV), an indicator that measures cumulative buying and selling pressure. Instead of relying on a basic Simple Moving Average (SMA) Crossover, this strategy identifies a "Breakout" of the OBV from its own highest-high and lowest-low channel over a recent period.
Bull Signal: Occurs when the buying pressure (OBV) is strong enough to break above its own recent highest high, indicating a potential shift to an upward trend.
Bear Signal: Occurs when the selling pressure (OBV) is intense enough to push the OBV below its own recent lowest low, indicating a potential shift to a downward trend.
On-Screen Components
1. OBV Line
This is the main indicator line, representing the cumulative volume. Its color changes to green when OBV is rising and red when it is falling.
2. Dynamic Support & Resistance Line
This is the thick Green or Red line that appears based on the strategy's current "mode." This line serves as a dynamic support/resistance level and can be used as a reference for stop-loss placement.
Green Line (Support): Appears when the strategy enters "Bull Mode." This line represents the lowest low of the OBV in the recent past and acts as dynamic support.
Red Line (Resistance): Appears when the strategy enters "Bear Mode." This line represents the highest high of the OBV in the recent past and acts as dynamic resistance.
3. Signal Markers
Bull 🔼 (Green Up Triangle): This is the "Long Entry" signal. It appears at the moment the OBV first breaks out above its high-low channel.
Bear 🔽 (Red Down Triangle): This is the "Short Entry" signal. It appears at the moment the OBV first breaks down below its high-low channel.
How to Use
Add this script to the price chart of your choice.
Navigate to the "Strategy Tester" panel at the bottom of TradingView to view the backtesting results for the strategy on different assets and timeframes.
Use the "Bull" and "Bear" signals as aids in your trading decisions.
Disclaimer: No strategy is 100% perfect. This script should always be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis, such as price structure, key price-based support/resistance levels, and your own personal risk management rules.
Inputs
SMA Length 1 / SMA Length 2: These are used to plot moving averages on the OBV for visual reference. They are part of the legacy logic and do not affect the new breakout strategy. However, they are kept for traders who may wish to observe their crossovers for additional confirmation.
High/Low Lookback Length: (Most Important Setting) This determines the period used to calculate the highest-high and lowest-low OBV channel. (Default is 30; adjust this to suit the asset's volatility).
A smaller value: Creates a narrower channel, leading to more frequent and faster signals, but potentially more false signals.
A larger value: Creates a wider channel, leading to fewer and slower signals, which are likely to be more significant.
Smart Breakout with ATR Stop-LossThe Smart Breakout indicator combines a classic 20-day Donchian channel breakout with a tight trailing stop, drawing green lines and “ENTRY” labels at the bar after a valid breakout, and red lines and “EXIT” label at the bar after a stop-loss breach.
By default it uses the chart’s timeframe to compute ATR and stops, but you can flip on Daily lock to freeze both ATR and price reads at the daily resolution—so your stops stay the same whether you view at 1s, 15 m, 4h or lower frequency bars.
Key features:
20-day Donchian breakout: entry when price closes above the highest high of the previous 20 bars
2 × ATR(14) trailing stop: initialized at entry and raised only when the new (close – 2 × ATR) exceeds the prior stop
Daily lock option: Ensures all ATR and close values are calculated on the daily timeframe, keeping stop levels consistent across resolutions
NY ORB, VWAP & EMAsIndicator is designed to display key technical analysis tools on your Trading View chart. It includes:
One of the key benefits of this indicator is that it allows Basic Trading View users to set VWAP, EMAs, and ORB in a single indicator. This is particularly useful for users who are limited to a single indicator on their Basic plan, as it provides a comprehensive view of market sentiment, trend, and potential breakouts without the need for multiple indicators.
Features
New York Opening Range Breakout (ORB): Plots the high and low of the first 15 minutes (configurable) of the New York trading session.
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP): Displays the VWAP line, which can be toggled on or off.
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs): Plots four EMAs (9, 21, 50, and 200 periods), which can also be toggled on or off.
Customization
ORB Length: Choose from 5 or 15 minutes for the ORB calculation.
Show VWAP and EMAs: Toggle the visibility of the VWAP and EMA lines on or off.
Usage
This indicator is designed to help traders identify key market levels, trends, and potential breakouts during the New York trading session. The ORB can be used to gauge market sentiment, while the VWAP provides a benchmark for average price action. The EMAs offer additional trend analysis and can be used to identify potential support and resistance levels.
Donchian Breakout Strategy📈 Donchian Breakout Strategy (Inspired by Way of the Turtle)
This strategy is a modern adaptation of the legendary Turtle Trading system as taught in Way of the Turtle by Curtis Faith — re-engineered for the crypto market’s volatility, 24/7 nature, and frequent fakeouts.
⸻
🐢 Original Inspiration
The original Turtle system, created by Richard Dennis and William Eckhardt, used:
• Breakouts of Donchian Channels (20-day for entry, 10-day for exit)
• Volatility-based position sizing using ATR (N)
• Simple rules, big trend exposure, and pyramiding to grow winners
It was built for futures and commodities, trading daily bars, assuming stable trading hours and regulated markets.
⸻
🚀 What’s Different in This Strategy?
✅ Optimized for Crypto
• Adapts to constant volatility and price manipulation common in crypto
• Adds commission modeling for realistic results (0.045% default)
✅ Improved Entry Filtering
• Uses EMA filter to align with trend direction
• Adds RSI momentum check to avoid early or weak breakouts
• Optional volatility and volume filters to reduce false signals
✅ Smarter Exits
• ATR-based volatility stop loss, not just Donchian reversal
• Avoids pyramiding to reduce risk from sudden reversals
✅ Backtest-Friendly
• Default backtest window starts from 2025-01-01
• Fully configurable: long/short toggle, filter control, stop loss multiplier
⸻
🧪 Use Case
• Best on trending coins with strong directional moves
• Avoids chop via filters, preserving capital
• Can be tuned for aggressive or conservative setups with just a few tweaks
Failed Breakout DetectionThis indicator is a reverse-engineered copy of the FBD Detection indicator published by xfuturesgod. The original indicator aimed at detecting "Failed Breakdowns". This version tracks the opposite signals, "Failed Breakouts". It was coded with the ES Futures 15 minute chart in mind but may be useful on other instruments and time frames.
The original description, with terminology reversed to explain this version:
'Failed Breakouts' are a popular set up for short entries.
In short, the set up requires:
1) A significant high is made ('initial high')
2) Initial high is undercut with a new high
3) Price action then 'reclaims' the initial high by moving +8-10 points from the initial high
This script aims at detecting such set ups. It was coded with the ES Futures 15 minute chart in mind but may be useful on other instruments and time frames.
Business Logic:
1) Uses pivot highs to detect 'significant' initial highs
2) Uses amplitude threshold to detect a new high above the initial high; used /u/ben_zen script for this
3) Looks for a valid reclaim - a red candle that occurs within 10 bars of the new high
4) Price must reclaim at least 8 points for the set up to be valid
5) If a signal is detected, the initial high value (pivot high) is stored in array that prevents duplicate signals from being generated.
6) FBO Signal is plotted on the chart with "X"
7) Pivot high detection is plotted on the chart with "P" and a label
8) New highs are plotted on the chart with a red triangle
Notes:
User input
- My preference is to use the defaults as is, but as always feel free to experiment
- Can modify pivot length but in my experience 10/10 work best for pivot highs
- New high detection - 55 bars and 0.05 amplitude work well based on visual checks of signals
- Can modify the number of points needed to reclaim a high, and the # of bars limit over which this must occur.
Alerts:
- Alerts are available for detection of new highs and detection of failed breakouts
- Alerts are also available for these signals but only during 7:30PM-4PM EST - 'prime time' US trading hours
Limitations:
- Current version of the script only compares new highs to the most recent pivot high, does not look at anything prior to that
- Best used as a discretionary signal
MLB Momentum IndicatorMLB Momentum Indicator is a no‐lookahead technical indicator designed to signal intraday trend shifts and potential reversal points. It combines several well‐known technical components—Moving Averages, MACD, RSI, and optional ADX & Volume filters—to deliver high‐probability buy/sell signals on your chart.
Below is an overview of how it works and what each part does:
1. Moving Average Trend Filter
The script uses two moving averages (fast and slow) to determine the primary trend:
isUpTrend if Fast MA > Slow MA
isDownTrend if Fast MA < Slow MA
You can select the MA method—SMA, EMA, or WMA—and customize lengths.
Why it matters: The indicator only gives bullish signals if the trend is up, and bearish signals if the trend is down, helping avoid trades that go against the bigger flow.
2. MACD Confirmation (Momentum)
Uses MACD (with user‐defined Fast, Slow, and Signal lengths) to check momentum:
macdBuySignal if the MACD line crosses above its signal line (bullish)
macdSellSignal if the MACD line crosses below its signal line (bearish)
Why it matters: MACD crossovers confirm an emerging momentum shift, aligning signals with actual price acceleration rather than random fluctuation.
3. RSI Overbought/Oversold Filter
RSI (Relative Strength Index) is calculated with a chosen length, plus Overbought & Oversold thresholds:
For long signals: the RSI must be below the Overbought threshold (e.g. 70).
For short signals: the RSI must be above the Oversold threshold (e.g. 30).
Why it matters: Prevents buying when price is already overbought or shorting when price is too oversold, filtering out possible poor‐risk trades.
4. Optional ADX Filter (Trend Strength)
If enabled, ADX must exceed a chosen threshold (e.g., 20) for a signal to be valid:
This ensures you’re only taking trades in markets that have sufficient directional momentum.
Why it matters: It weeds out choppy, sideways conditions where signals are unreliable.
5. Optional Volume Filter (High‐Participation Moves)
If enabled, the indicator checks whether current volume is above a certain multiple of its moving average (e.g., 1.5× average volume).
Why it matters: High volume often indicates stronger institutional interest, validating potential breakouts or reversals.
6. ATR & Chandelier (Visual Reference)
For reference only, the script can display ATR‐based stop levels or a Chandelier Exit line:
ATR (Average True Range) helps gauge volatility and can inform stop‐loss distances.
Chandelier Exit is a trailing stop technique that adjusts automatically as price moves.
Why it matters: Though this version of the script doesn’t execute trades, these lines help you see how far to place stops or how to ride a trend.
7. Final Bullish / Bearish Signal
When all conditions (trend, MACD, RSI, optional ADX, optional Volume) line up for a long, a green “Long” arrow appears.
When all conditions line up for a short, a red “Short” arrow appears.
Why it matters: You get a clear, on‐chart signal for each potential entry, rather than needing to check multiple indicators manually.
8. Session & Date Filtering
The script allows choosing a start/end date and an optional session window (e.g. 09:30–16:00).
Why it matters: Helps limit signals to a specific historical backtest range or trading hours, which can be crucial for day traders (e.g., stock market hours only).
Putting It All Together
Primary Trend → ensures you trade in line with the bigger direction.
MACD & RSI → confirm momentum and avoid overbought/oversold extremes.
ADX & Volume → optional filters for strong trend strength & genuine interest.
Arrows → each potential buy (Long) or sell (Short) signal is clearly shown on your chart.
Use Cases
5‐Minute Scalping: Shorter RSI/MACD lengths to catch small, frequent intraday moves.
Swing Trading: Larger MAs, bigger RSI thresholds, and using ADX to filter only major trends.
Cautious Approach: Enable volume & ADX filters to reduce false signals in choppy markets.
Benefits & Limitations
Benefits:
Consolidates multiple indicators into one overlay.
Clear buy/sell signals with optional dynamic volatility references.
Flexible user inputs adapt to different trading styles/timeframes.
Limitations:
Like all technical indicators, it can produce false signals in sideways or news‐driven markets.
Success depends heavily on user settings and the particular market’s behavior.
Summary
The MLB Momentum Indicator combines a trend filter (MAs), momentum check (MACD), overbought/oversold gating (RSI), and optional ADX/Volume filters to create clear buy/sell arrows on your chart. This approach encourages trading in sync with both trend and momentum, and helps avoid suboptimal entries when volume or trend strength is lacking. It can be tailored to scalp micro‐moves on lower timeframes or used for higher‐timeframe swing trading by adjusting the input settings.
