HTF TriangleHTF Triangle by ZeroHeroTrading aims at detecting ascending and descending triangles using higher time frame data, without repainting nor misalignment issues.
It addresses user requests for combining Ascending Triangle and Descending Triangle into one indicator.
Ascending triangles are defined by an horizontal upper trend line and a rising lower trend line. It is a chart pattern used in technical analysis to predict the continuation of an uptrend.
Descending triangles are defined by a falling upper trend line and an horizontal lower trend line. It is a chart pattern used in technical analysis to predict the continuation of a downtrend.
This indicator can be useful if you, like me, believe that higher time frames can offer a broader perspective and provide clearer signals, smoothing out market noise and showing longer-term trends.
You can change the indicator settings as you see fit to tighten or loosen the detection, and achieve the best results for your use case.
Features
It draws the detected ascending and descending triangles on the chart.
It supports alerting when a detection occurs.
It allows for selecting ascending and/or descending triangle detection.
It allows for setting the higher time frame to run the detection on.
It allows for setting the minimum number of consecutive valid higher time frame bars to fit the pattern criteria.
It allows for setting a high/low factor detection criteria to apply on higher time frame bars high/low as a proportion of the distance between the reference bar high/low and open/close.
It allows for turning on an adjustment of the triangle using highest/lowest values within valid higher time frame bars.
Settings
Ascending checkbox: Turns on/off ascending triangle detection. Default is on.
Descending checkbox: Turns on/off descending triangle detection. Default is on.
Higher Time Frame dropdown: Selects higher time frame to run the detection on. It must be higher than, and a multiple of, the chart's timeframe. Default is 5 minutes.
Valid Bars Minimum field: Sets minimum number of consecutive valid higher time frame bars to fit the pattern criteria. Default is 3. Minimum is 1.
High/Low Factor checkbox: Turns on/off high/low factor detection criteria. Default is on.
High/Low Factor field: Sets high/low factor to apply on higher time frame bars high/low as a proportion of the distance between the reference bar high/low and open/close. Default is 0. Minimum is 0. Maximum is 1.
Adjust Triangle checkbox: Turns on/off triangle adjustment using highest/lowest values within valid higher time frame bars. Default is on.
Detection Algorithm Notes
The detection algorithm recursively selects a higher time frame bar as reference. Then it looks at the consecutive higher time frame bars (as per the requested number of minimum valid bars) as follows:
Ascending Triangle
Low must be higher than previous bar.
Open/close max value must be lower than (or equal to) reference bar high.
When high/low factor criteria is turned on, high must be higher than (or equal to) reference bar open/close max value plus high/low factor proportion of the distance between reference bar high and open/close max value.
Descending Triangle
High must be lower than previous bar.
Open/close min value must be higher than (or equal to) reference bar low.
When high/low factor criteria is turned on, low must be lower than (or equal to) reference bar open/close min value minus high/low factor proportion of the distance between reference bar low and open/close min value.

Customizable NQ Level PlotterThis indicator, inspired by Kellyannnn, will plot user specified levels on the NQ Chart.
Add the levels you want to see, customize the colors, and you're good to go.
Let me give you an example of how this might be used:
Say, for example, that you have noticed that the NQ seems to move between the even hundred levels and the even fifty levels.... if you tell this indicator to plot those 2 levels at every even hundred and every even 50 level it will do so at:
18000
18050
18100
18150
18200
18250... and so on.
It will plot these levels above and below the current price.
If you want to add 2 other levels, you can do that as well.
So if you wanted to have it plot a line at every 00, 26, 50, and 77 it would do so like this:
18000
18026
18050
18077
18100
18126
18150
18177
18200
18226
18250
18277
18300... and so on.
Some people may find this helpful in planning their trades.
Prometheus IQR bandsThis indicator is a tool that uses market data to plot bands along with a price chart.
This tool uses interquartile range (IQR) instead of Standard Deviation (STD) because market returns are not normally distributed. There is also no way to tell if the pocket of the market you are looking at is normally distributed. So using methods that work better with non-normal data minimizes risk more than using a different process.
Calculation
Code for helper functions:
// Function to calculate the percentile value
percentile(arr, p) =>
index = math.floor(p * (array.size(arr) - 1) + 0.5)
array.get(arr, index)
manual_iqr(data, lower_percentile, upper_percentile)=>
// Sort the data
data_arr = array.new()
for i = 0 to lkb_
data_arr.push(close )
array.sort(data_arr)
sorted_data = data_arr.copy()
n = array.size(data_arr)
// Calculate the specified percentiles
Q1 = percentile(sorted_data, lower_percentile)
Q3 = percentile(sorted_data, upper_percentile)
// Calculate IQR
IQR = Q3 - Q1
// Return the IQR
IQR
IQRB(lkb_, sens)=>
sens_l = sens/100
sens_h = (100-sens)/100
val = manual_iqr(close, sens_l, sens_h)
sma = ta.sma(close, int(lkb_))
upper = sma + val
lower = sma - val
Percentile Calculation (percentile function):
Calculates the percentile value of an array (arr) at a given percentile (p).
Uses linear interpolation to find the exact percentile value in a sorted array.
Manual IQR Calculation (manual_iqr function):
Converts the input data into an array (data_arr) and sorts it.
Computes the lower and upper quartiles (Q1 and Q3) using the specified percentiles (lower_percentile and upper_percentile).
Computes the Interquartile Range (IQR) as IQR = Q3 - Q1.
Returns the computed IQR.
IQRB Function Calculation (IQRB function):
Converts the sensitivity percentage (sens) into decimal values (sens_l for lower percentile and sens_h for upper percentile).
Calls manual_iqr with the closing prices (close) and the lower and upper percentiles.
Calculates the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the closing prices (close) over a specified period (lkb_).
Computes the upper and lower bands of the IQR using the SMA and the calculated IQR (val).
Returns an array containing the upper band, lower band, and SMA values.
After the IQR is calculated at the specified sensitivity it is added to and subtracted from a SMA of the specified period.
This provides us with bands of the IQR sensitivity we want.

Step 2: Price drops below the top band and chops slightly, without a large reversal from that break.
Step 3: Price breaks below the bottom band.
Step 4: Price re-enters the bottom band and just chops, no large reversal.
Step 5: Price breaks below the bottom band.
Step 6: Price retakes the bottom band and strongly reverses.
This tool can be uses to spot reversals and see when trends may continue as the stay inside the bands. No indicator is 100% accurate, we encourage traders to not follow them blindly and use them as tools.
Equal Highs and Lows {Reh's and Rel's }# Equal Highs and Lows {Reh's and Rel's} Indicator
## Overview
The "Equal Highs and Lows {Reh's and Rel's}" indicator is designed to identify and mark equal highs and lows on a price chart. It detects both exact and relative equal levels, draws lines connecting these levels, and optionally labels them. This tool can help traders identify potential support and resistance zones based on historical price levels.
## Key Features
1. **Exact and Relative Equality**: Detects both precise price matches and relative equality within a specified threshold.
2. **Customizable Appearance**: Allows users to adjust colors, line styles, and widths.
3. **Dynamic Line Management**: Automatically extends or removes lines based on ongoing price action.
4. **Labeling System**: Optional labels to identify types of equal levels (e.g., "Equal High", "REH/Equal High").
5. **Flexible Settings**: Adjustable parameters for lookback periods, maximum bars apart, and relative equality thresholds.
## User Inputs
### Appearance
- `lineColorHigh`: Color for lines marking equal highs (default: red)
- `lineColorLow`: Color for lines marking equal lows (default: green)
- `lineWidth`: Thickness of the lines (range: 1-5, default: 1)
- `lineStyle`: Style of the lines (options: Solid, Dash, Dotted)
- `showLabels`: Toggle to show or hide labels for equal highs and lows
### Settings
- `lookbackLength`: Number of bars to look back for finding equal highs and lows (default: 200)
- `maxBarsApart`: Maximum number of bars apart for equal highs/lows to be considered (range: 2-10, default: 5)
### Relative Equality
- `considerRelativeEquals`: Enable detection of relative equal highs and lows
- `thresholdIndex`: Maximum tick difference for relative equality in index instruments (range: 1-10, default: 2)
- `thresholdStocks`: Maximum tick difference for relative equality in stock instruments (range: 5-200, step: 5, default: 10)
## How It Works
The indicator scans historical price data to identify equal or relatively equal highs and lows. It draws lines connecting these levels and updates them as new price data comes in. Lines are extended if the level holds and removed if the price breaks through. The tool adapts to different market conditions by allowing adjustments to the equality thresholds for various instrument types.
## Practical Use
Traders can use this indicator to:
- Identify potential support and resistance levels
- Spot areas where price might react based on historical turning points
- Enhance their understanding of price structure and repetitive patterns
## Disclaimer
This indicator is provided as a tool to assist in identifying potential price levels of interest. It is not financial advice. Users should not rely solely on this or any single indicator for trading decisions. Always conduct thorough analysis, consider multiple factors, and be aware that past price behavior does not guarantee future results. All trading involves risk.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Oscillator [UAlgo]The "Fair Value Gap (FVG) Oscillator " is designed to identify and visualize Fair Value Gaps (FVG) within a given lookback period on a trading chart. This indicator helps traders by highlighting areas where price gaps may signify potential trading opportunities, specifically bullish and bearish patterns. By leveraging volume and Average True Range (ATR) data, the FVG Oscillator aims to enhance the accuracy of pattern recognition and provide more reliable signals for trading decisions.
🔶 Identification of Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) are specific price areas where gaps occur, and they are often considered significant in technical analysis. These gaps can indicate potential future price movements as the market may return to fill these gaps. This indicator identifies two types of FVGs:
Bullish FVG: Occurs when the current low price is higher than the high price two periods ago. This condition suggests a potential upward price movement.
Obtains with:
low > high
Bearish FVG: Occurs when the current high price is lower than the low price two periods ago. This condition suggests a potential downward price movement.
Obtains with:
high < low
The FVG Oscillator not only identifies these gaps but also verifies them using volume and ATR conditions to ensure more reliable trading signals.
🔶 Key Features
Lookback Period: Users can set the lookback period to determine how far back the indicator should search for FVG patterns.
ATR Multiplier: The ATR Multiplier is used to adjust the sensitivity of the ATR-based conditions for verifying FVG patterns.
Volume SMA Period: This setting determines the period for the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the volume, which helps in identifying high volume conditions.
Why ATR and Volume are Used?
ATR (Average True Range) and volume are integrated into the Fair Value Gap (FVG) Oscillator to enhance the accuracy and reliability of the identified patterns. ATR measures market volatility, helping to filter out insignificant price gaps and focus on impactful ones, ensuring that the signals are relevant and strong. Volume, on the other hand, confirms the strength of price movements. High volume often indicates the sustainability of these movements, reducing the likelihood of false signals. Together, ATR and volume ensure that the detected FVGs are both significant and supported by market activity, providing more trustworthy trading signals.
Normalized Values: The FVG counts are normalized to enhance the visual representation and interpretation of the patterns on the chart.
Visual Customization and Plotting: Users can customize the colors for positive (bullish) and negative (bearish) areas, and choose whether to display these areas on the chart, also plots the bullish and bearish FVG counts, a zero line, and the net value of FVG counts. Additionally, it uses histograms to display the width of verified bullish and bearish patterns.

Smoothed Heiken Ashi Strategy Long OnlyThis is a trend-following approach that uses a modified version of Heiken Ashi candles with additional smoothing. Here are the key components and features:
1. Heiken Ashi Modification: The strategy starts by calculating Heiken Ashi candles, which are known for better trend visualization. However, it modifies the traditional Heiken Ashi by using Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) of the open, high, low, and close prices.
2. Double Smoothing: The strategy applies two layers of smoothing. First, it uses EMAs to calculate the Heiken Ashi values. Then, it applies another EMA to the Heiken Ashi open and close prices. This double smoothing aims to reduce noise and provide clearer trend signals.
3. Long-Only Approach: As the name suggests, this strategy only takes long positions. It doesn't short the market during downtrends but instead exits existing long positions when the sell signal is triggered.
4. Entry and Exit Conditions:
- Entry (Buy): When the smoothed Heiken Ashi candle color changes from red to green (indicating a potential start of an uptrend).
- Exit (Sell): When the smoothed Heiken Ashi candle color changes from green to red (indicating a potential end of an uptrend).
5. Position Sizing: The strategy uses a percentage of equity for position sizing, defaulting to 100% of available equity per trade. This should be tailored to each persons unique approach. Responsible trading would use less than 5% for each trade. The starting capital used is a responsible and conservative $1000, reflecting the average trader.
This strategy aims to provide a smooth, trend-following approach that may be particularly useful in markets with clear, sustained trends. However, it may lag in choppy or ranging markets due to its heavy smoothing. As with any strategy, it's important to thoroughly backtest and forward test before using it with real capital, and to consider using it in conjunction with other analysis tools and risk management techniques.
This has been created mainly to provide data to judge what time frame is most profitable for any single asset, as the volatility of each asset is different. This can bee seen using it on AUXUSD, which has a higher profitable result on the daily time frame, whereas other currencies need a higher or lower time frame. The user can toggle between each time frame and watch for the higher profit results within the strategy tester window.
Other smoothed Heiken Ashi indicators also do not provide buy and sell signals, and only show the change in color to dictate a change in trend. By adding buy and sell signals after the close of the candle in which the candle changes color, alerts can be programmed, which helps this be a more hands off protocol to experiment with. Other smoothed Heiken Ashi indicators do not allow for alarms to be set.
This is a unique HODL strategy which helps identify a change in trend, without the noise of day to day volatility. By switching to a line chart, it removes the candles altogether to avoid even more noise. The goal is to HODL a coin while the color is bullish in an uptrend, but once the indicator gives a sell signal, to sell the holdings back to a stable coin and let the chart ride down. Once the chart gives the next buy signal, use that same capital to buy back into the asset. In essence this removes potential losses, and helps buy back in cheaper, gaining more quantitity fo the asset, and therefore reducing your average initial buy in price.
Most HODL strategies ride the price up, miss selling at the top, then riding the price back down in anticipation that it will go back up to sell. This strategy will not hit the absolute tops, but it will greatly reduce potential losses.

Support and Resistance Breakouts By RICHIESupport and resistance are fundamental concepts in technical analysis used to identify price levels on charts that act as barriers, preventing the price of an asset from getting pushed in a certain direction. Here’s a detailed description of each and how breakout strategies are typically used:
Support
Support is a price level where a downtrend can be expected to pause due to a concentration of demand. As the price of an asset drops, it hits a level where buyers tend to step in, causing the price to rebound.
Support Level Identification: Support levels are identified by looking at historical data where prices have repeatedly fallen to a certain level but have then rebounded.
Strength of Support: The more times an asset price hits a support level without breaking below it, the stronger that support level is considered to be.
Resistance
Resistance is a price level where an uptrend can be expected to pause due to a concentration of selling interest. As the price of an asset increases, it hits a level where sellers tend to step in, causing the price to drop.
Resistance Level Identification: Resistance levels are identified by looking at historical data where prices have repeatedly risen to a certain level but have then fallen back.
Strength of Resistance: The more times an asset price hits a resistance level without breaking above it, the stronger that resistance level is considered to be.
Breakouts
A breakout occurs when the price moves above a resistance level or below a support level with increased volume. Breakouts can be significant because they suggest a change in supply and demand dynamics, often leading to strong price movements.
Breakout Above Resistance: Indicates a bullish market sentiment. Traders often interpret this as a sign to enter a long position (buy).
Breakout Below Support: Indicates a bearish market sentiment. Traders often interpret this as a sign to enter a short position (sell).
Breakout Trading Strategies
Confirmation: Wait for a candle to close beyond the support or resistance level to confirm the breakout.
Volume: Increased volume on a breakout adds credibility, suggesting that the price move is supported by strong buying or selling interest.
Retest: Sometimes, after a breakout, the price will return to the breakout level to test it as a new support or resistance. This retest offers another entry point.
Stop-Loss: Place stop-loss orders just below the resistance (for long positions) or above the support (for short positions) to limit potential losses in case of a false breakout.
Take-Profit: Identify target levels for taking profits. These can be set based on previous support/resistance levels or using tools like Fibonacci retracements.
ADR Study [TFO]This indicator is focused on the Average Daily Range (ADR), with the goal of collecting data to show how often price reaches/closes through these levels, as well as a look at historical moves that reached ADR and at similar times of day to study how price moved for the remainder of the session.
The ADR here (blue line) is calculated using the difference between a day's highest and lowest points. If our ADR length is 5, then we are taking this difference from the last 5 days and averaging them together. At the following day's open, we take half of this average and plot it above and below the daily opening price to place theoretical limits on how far price may move according to the lookback period. The triangles indicate when price has reached ADR (either +ADR or -ADR), and alerts can be created for these events.
The Scale Factor is an optional parameter to scale the ADR by a certain amount. If set to 2 for example, then the ADR would be 2x the average daily range. This value will be reflected in the statistics options so that users can see how different values affect the outcomes.
Show Table will display data collected on how often price reaches these levels, and how often price closes through them, for each day of the week. By default, these are colored as blue and red, respectively. From the following chart of NQ1!, we can see for example that on Mondays, price reached +ADR 38% of the time and closed through it 23% of the time. Note that the statistics for closing through the ADR levels are derived from all instances, not just those that reached ADR.
Show Sample Sizes will display how many instances were collected for all given sets of data. Referring to the same example of NQ1!, we can see that this particular chart has collected data from 109 Mondays. From those Mondays, 41 reached +ADR (38%, verifying our initial claim) and 25 closed through it (23%). This is important to understand the scope of the data that we're working with, as percentages can be misleading for smaller sample sizes.
Show Histogram will plot the same exact data as the table, just in a histogram form to visually emphasize the differences on a day-by-day basis. On this chart of RTY1!, we can see for example from the top histogram that on Wednesdays, 40% reached +ADR and only 22% closed through it. Similarly if we look at the bottom histogram, we can see that Wednesdays reached -ADR 46% of the time and closed through it only 28% of the time.
We can also use Show Sample Sizes to display the same information that would be in the table, showing how many instances were collected for each event. In this case we can see that we observed 175 Fridays, where 76 reached +ADR (43%) and 44 closed above it (25%).
Show Historical Moves is an interesting feature of this script. When enabled, if price has reached +/- ADR in the current session, the indicator will plot the evolution of the close prices from all past sessions that reached +/- ADR to see how they traded for the remainder of the session. These calculations are made with respect to the ADR range at the time that price traded through these levels.
Historical Proximity (Bars) allows the user to observe historical moves where price reached ADR within this many bars of the current session (assuming price has reached an ADR level in the current session). In the above chart, this is set to 1000 so that we can observe each and every instance where price reached an ADR level. However, we can refine this a bit more.
By limiting the Historical Proximity to something like 20, we are only considering historical moves that reached ADR within 20 bars of todays +ADR reach (9:50 am EST, noted by the blue triangle up). We can enable Show Average Move to display the average move by the filtered dataset, and Match +/-ADR to only observe moves inline with the current day's price action (in this case, only moves that reached +ADR, since price has not reached -ADR).
We can add one more filter to this data with the setting Only Show Days That: closed through ADR; closed within ADR; or either. The option either is what you see above, as we are considering both days that closed through ADR and days that closed within it (note that in this case, closing within ADR simply means that price reached +ADR and closed the day below it, and vice versa for -ADR; this does not mean that price must have closed in between +ADR and -ADR). If we set this to only show instances that closed within ADR, we see the following data.
Alternatively, we can choose to Only Show Days That closed through ADR, where we would see the following data. In this case, the average move very much resembles the price action that occurred on this particular day. This is in no way guaranteed, but it makes an interesting case for how we could use this data in our analysis by observing similar, historical price action.
Please note that this data will change over time on a rolling basis due to TradingView's bar lookback, and that for this same reason, lower timeframes will yield less data than larger timeframes.
Pre-COVID High and COVID LowOverview
The "Pre-COVID High and COVID Low" indicator is designed to identify and mark significant price levels on your chart, specifically targeting the pre-COVID-19 high and the low during the initial COVID-19 market impact. This script is particularly useful for traders who are interested in analyzing how stocks or other financial instruments reacted during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, providing a historical perspective that may help in making informed trading decisions.
How It Works
Date Ranges : The script uses predefined date ranges to calculate the highest and lowest price levels before and during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. These ranges are:
Pre-COVID High: Between January 1, 2020, and March 31, 2020.
COVID Low: Between March 1, 2020, and March 31, 2020.
Calculation Method :
The highest price during the pre-COVID period is tracked and recorded as the "Pre-COVID High".
The lowest price during the specified COVID period is tracked and recorded as the "COVID Low".
Visibility Conditions : The script includes logic to ensure that these historical levels are only displayed if they fall within a range close to the current visible price range on the chart. This prevents the indicator from compressing the price scale unduly.
How to Use It
Adding to Your Char t: To use this indicator, add it to any chart on TradingView. It works best with daily time frames to clearly visualize the impact over these specific months.
Interpretation :
The "Pre-COVID High" is marked with a red line and is labeled the first day it becomes applicable.
The "COVID Low" is marked with a green line and is similarly labeled on its applicable day.
Trading Strategy Consideration : Traders can use these historical levels as potential support or resistance zones for their trading strategies. These levels can indicate significant price points where the market previously showed strong reactions.
Gap Finder by DarkoexeThis indicator plots labels that indicate gaps whenever the open price and the previous bar close price have a significant gap.
To determine the size the gap has to be before it is labeled at a specific point in time on the chart. The gap needs to be larger or equal to a factor of an ATR value. For example, if the ATR gap factor is 0.25, the gap between the open and the previous close price must be greater than 0.25*ATR of the ATR length specified for the gap to be plotted on the chart.
Note: If you don't know what the ATR or average true range is, search for "ATR" in indicators. It is one of Trading View's most fundamental indicators.
Normalized Performance ComparisonThis script visualizes the relative performance of a primary asset against a benchmark composed of three reference assets. Here's how it works:
User Inputs:
- Users specify ticker symbols for three reference assets (default: Platinum, Palladium, Rhodium).
Data Retrieval:
- Fetches closing prices for the primary asset (the one the script is applied to) and the three reference assets.
Normalization:
- Each asset's price is normalized by dividing its current price by its initial price at the start of the chart. This allows for performance comparison on a common scale.
Benchmark Creation:
- The normalized prices of the three reference assets are combined to create a composite benchmark.
Ratio Calculation:
- Computes the ratio of the normalized primary asset price to the combined normalized benchmark price, highlighting relative performance.
Plotting:
- Plots this ratio as a blue line on the chart, showing the primary asset's performance relative to the benchmark over time.
This script helps users quickly assess how well the primary asset is performing compared to a set of reference assets.
ATH/ATL Tracker [LuxAlgo]The ATH/ATL Tracker effectively displays changes made between new All-Time Highs (ATH)/All-Time Lows (ATL) and their previous respective values, over the entire history of available data.
The indicator shows a histogram of the change between a new ATH/ATL and its respective preceding ATH/ATL. A tooltip showing the price made during a new ATH/ATL alongside its date is included.
🔶 USAGE
By tracking the change between new ATHs/ATLs and older ATHs/ATLs, traders can gain insight into market sentiment, breadth, and rotation.
If many stocks are consistently setting new ATHs and the number of new ATHs is increasing relative to old ATHs, it could indicate broad market participation in a rally. If only a few stocks are reaching new ATHs or the number is declining, it might signal that the market's upward momentum is decreasing.
A significant increase in new ATHs suggests optimism and willingness among investors to buy at higher prices, which could be considered a positive sentiment. On the other hand, a decrease or lack of new ATHs might indicate caution or pessimism.
By observing the sectors where stocks are consistently setting new ATHs, users can identify which sectors are leading the market. Sectors with few or no new ATHs may be losing momentum and could be identified as lagging behind the overall market sentiment.
🔶 DETAILS
The indicator's main display is a histogram-style readout that displays the change in price from older ATH/ATLs to Newer/Current ATH/ATLs. This change is determined by the distance that the current values have overtaken the previous values, resulting in the displayed data.
The largest changes in ATH/ATLs from the ticker's history will appear as the largest bars in the display.
The most recent bars (depending on the selected display setting) will always represent the current ATH or ATL values.
When determining ATH & ATL values, it is important to filter out insignificant highs and lows that may happen constantly when exploring higher and lower prices. To combat this, the indicator looks to a higher timeframe than your chart's timeframe in order to determine these more significant ATHs & ATLs.
For Example: If a user was on a 1-minute chart and 5 highs-new highs occur across 5 adjacent bars, this has the potential to show up as 5 new ATHs. When looking at a higher timeframe, 5 minutes, only the highest of the 5 bars will indicate a new ATH. To assist with this, the indicator will display warnings in the dashboard when a suboptimal timeframe is selected as input.
🔹 Dashboard
The dashboard displays averages from the ATH/ATL data to aid in the anticipation and expectations for new ATH/ATLs.
The average duration is an average of the time between each new ATH/ATL, in this indicator it is calculated in "Days" to provide a more comprehensive understanding.
The average change is the average of all change data displayed in the histogram.
🔶 SETTINGS
Duration: The designated higher timeframe to use for filtering out insignificant ATHs & ATLs.
Order: The display order for the ATH/ATL Bars, Options are to display in chronological (oldest to newest) or reverse chronological order (newest to oldest).
Bar Width: Sets the width for each ATH/ATL bar.
Bar Spacing: Sets the # of empty bars in between each ATH/ATL bar.
Dashboard Settings: Parameters for the dashboard's size and location on the chart.

When low factor criteria is turned on, low must be lower than reference bar open/close min value minus low factor proportion of the distance between reference bar low and open/close min value.
Reversal Zones with SignalsThe "Reversal Zones with Signals" indicator is an advanced technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify potential market reversal points. By integrating Relative Strength Index (RSI), moving averages, and swing high/low detection, this indicator provides traders with clear visual cues for potential buy and sell opportunities.
Key Features and Benefits
Integration of Multiple Technical Analysis Tools:
The indicator seamlessly combines RSI, moving averages, and swing high/low detection. This multi-faceted approach enhances the reliability of the signals by confirming potential reversals through different technical analysis perspectives.
Customizable Parameters:
Users can adjust the sensitivity of the moving averages, the RSI overbought and oversold levels, and the length of the reversal zones. This flexibility allows traders to tailor the indicator to fit their specific trading strategies and market conditions.
Clear Visual Signals:
Buy and sell signals are plotted directly on the chart as easily recognizable green and red labels. This visual clarity simplifies the process of identifying potential entry and exit points, enabling traders to act quickly and decisively.
Reversal Zones:
The indicator plots reversal zones based on swing highs and lows in conjunction with RSI conditions. Green lines represent potential support levels (zone bottoms), while red lines represent potential resistance levels (zone tops). These zones provide traders with clear areas where price reversals are likely to occur.
Automated Alerts:
Custom alerts can be set for both buy and sell signals, providing real-time notifications when potential trading opportunities arise. This feature ensures that traders do not miss critical market moves.
How It Works
RSI Calculation:
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is calculated to determine overbought and oversold conditions. When RSI exceeds the overbought threshold, it indicates that the market may be overbought, and when it falls below the oversold threshold, it indicates that the market may be oversold. This helps in identifying potential reversal points.
Swing High/Low Detection:
Swing highs and lows are detected using a specified lookback period. These points represent significant price levels where reversals are likely to occur. Swing highs are detected using the ta.pivothigh function, and swing lows are detected using the ta.pivotlow function.
Reversal Zones:
Reversal zones are defined by plotting lines at swing high and low levels when RSI conditions are met. These zones serve as visual cues for potential support and resistance areas, providing a structured framework for identifying reversal points.
Buy and Sell Signals:
Buy signals are generated when the price crosses above a defined reversal zone bottom, indicating a potential upward reversal. Sell signals are generated when the price crosses below a defined reversal zone top, indicating a potential downward reversal. These signals are further confirmed by the presence of bullish or bearish engulfing patterns.
Plotting and Alerts:
The indicator plots buy and sell signals directly on the chart with corresponding labels. Additionally, alerts can be set up to notify the user when a signal is generated, ensuring timely action.
Originality and Usefulness

Sequencer [LuxAlgo]The Sequencer indicator is a tool that is able to highlight sequences of prices based on their relative position to past prices, which allows a high degree of customization from the user.
Two phases are included in this script, a "Preparation" phase and a "Lead-Up" phase, each with a customizable amount of steps, as well as other characteristics.
Users can also highlight the last step leading to each phase completion with a level, this level can eventually be used as a key price point.
🔶 USAGE
The script highlights two phases, each being based on a sequence of events requiring prices to be higher/lower than prices various bars ago.
The completion of the preparation phase will lead to the evaluation of the lead-up phase, however, it isn't uncommon to see a reversal occurring after the completion of a preparation phase. In the script, bullish preparations are highlighted in green, while bearish preparations are highlighted in red.
Completion of a "Lead-Up" phase is indicative of a potential reversal, with a bullish reversal for the completion of a bullish lead-up (in blue), and a bearish reversal for the completion of a bearish lead-up (in orange).
Using a higher length for the preparation/lead-up phases can allow the detection of longer-term reversals.
Users wishing to display levels based on specific phases completion can do so from the settings in the "Preparation/Lead-Up Completion Levels" settings group.
The "Show Last" settings determine the amount of respective levels to display on the chart.
🔶 PREPARATION PHASE
The "Preparation" phase precedes the "Lead-Up" phase. The completion of this phase requires N successive prices to be lower than the closing price P bars ago for a bullish phase, and for prices to be higher than the closing price P bars ago for a bearish phase, where N is the user set "Preparation Phase Length" and P the user set "Comparison Period".
🔹 Refined Preparations
Sequences of the preparation phase can either be "Standard" or "Refined". Unlike the standard preparation previously described a refined preparation requires the low prices from the user-specified steps in "Refined Preparation Steps" to be above the low price of the last step for a bullish preparation phase, and for the high prices specified in the refined preparation steps to be below the high price of the last step for a bearish preparation phase.
🔶 LEAD-UP PHASE
The "Lead-Up" phase is initiated by the completion of the "Preparation" phase.
Completion of this phase requires the price to be lower than the low price P bars ago N times for a bullish phase, and for prices to be higher than the high price P bars ago N times for a bearish phase, where N is the user set "Lead-Up Phase Length" and P the user set "Comparison Period".
Unlike with the "Preparation" phase these conditions don't need to be successive for them to be valid and can occur at any time.
🔹 Lead-Up Cancellation
Incomplete "Lead-Up" phases can be canceled and removed from the chart once a preparation of the opposite sentiment is completed, avoiding lead-ups to be evaluated after completion of complete preparations.
This can be disabled by toggling off "Apply Cancellation".
🔹 Lead-Up Suspension
Like with refined preparations, we can require specific steps from the lead-up phase to be higher/lower than the price on the last step. This can be particularly important since we do not require lead-up steps to be successive.
For a bullish lead-up, the low of the last step must be lower than the minimum closing prices of the user-specified steps for it to be valid, while for a bearish lead-up, the high of the last step must be higher than the maximum closing prices of the user-specified steps for it to be valid.
This effectively allows for eliminating lead-up phases getting completed on opposite trends.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Preparation Phase
Preparation Phase Length: Length of the "Preparation" phase.
Comparison Period: Offset used to compare current prices to past ones.
Preparation Type: Type of preparation to evaluate, options include "Standard" or "Refined"
Refined Preparations Steps: Steps to evaluate when preparation type is "Refined"
🔹 Lead-Up Phase
Lead-Up Phase Length: Length of the "Lead-Up" phase.
Comparison Period: Offset used to compare current prices to past ones.
Suspension: Applies suspension rule to evaluate lead-up completion.
Suspension Steps: Specifies the steps evaluated to determine if the lead-up referral is respected. Multiple steps are supported and should be comma-separated.
Apply Cancellation: Cancellation will remove any incomplete lead-up upon the completion of a new preparation phase of the opposite sentiment.
🔹 Levels
Bullish Preparations Levels: When enabled display price levels from completed bullish preparations.
Show Last: Number of most recent bullish preparations levels to display.
Bearish Preparations Levels: When enabled display price levels from completed bearish preparations.
Show Last: Number of most recent bearish preparations levels to display.
[TTI] High Volume Close (HVC) Setup📜 ––––HISTORY & CREDITS––––
The High Volume Close (HVC) Setup is a specialised indicator designed for the TradingView platform used to identify specific bar. This tool was developed with the objective of identifying a technical pattern that trades have claimed is significant trading opportunities through a unique blend of volume analysis and price action strategies. It is based on the premise that high-volume bars, when combined with specific price action criteria, can signal key market movements.
The HVC is applicable both for swing and longer term trading and as a technical tool it can be used by traders of any asset type (stocks, ETF, crypto, forex etc).
🦄 –––UNIQUENESS–––
The uniqueness of the HVC Setup lies in its flexibility to determine an important price level based on historically important bar. The idea is to identify significant bars (e.g. those who have created the HIGHEST VOLUME: Ever, Yearly, Quarterly and meet additional criteria from the settings) and plot on the chart the close on that day as a significant level as well as theoretical stop loss and target levels. This approach allows traders to discern high volume bars that are contextually significant — a method not commonly found in standard trading tools.
🎯 ––––WHAT IT DOES––––
The HVC Setup indicator performs a series of calculations to identify high volume close bars/bar (HVC bars) based on the user requirements.
These bars are determined based on the highest volume recorded within a user-inputs:
👉 Period (Ever, Yearly, Quarterly) and must meet additional criteria such as:
👉 a minimum percentage Price Change (change is calculated based on a close/close) and
👉 specific Closing Range requirements for the HVC da.
The theory is that this is a significant bar that is important to know where it is on the chart.
The script includes a comparative analysis of the HVC bar's price against historical price highs (all-time, yearly, quarterly), which provides further context and significance to the identified bars. All of these USER input requirement are then taken into account as a condition to identity the High Volume Close Bar (HVC).
The visual representation includes color-coded bar (default is yellow) and lines to delineate these key trading signals. It then draws a blue line for the place where the close ofthe bar is, a red line that would signify a stop loss and 2 target profit levels equal to 2R and 3R of the risked level (close-stop loss). Additional lines can be turned on/off with their coresponding checkboxes in the settings.
If the user chooses "Ever" for Period - the script will look at the first available bar ever in Tradingview - this is generally the IPO bar;
If the users chooses "Yearly" - the script would look at the highest available bar for a completed year;
If the users chooses "Quarterly" - it would do the same for the quarter. (works on daily timeframe only);
While we have not backtested the performance of the script, this methodology has been widely publicised.
🛠️ ––––HOW TO USE IT––––
To utilize the HVC Setup effectively:
👉Customize Input Settings: Choose the HVC period, percentage change threshold, closing range, stop loss distance, and target multiples according to your trading strategy. Use the tick boxes to enable and disable if a given condition is used within the calculation.
👉Identify HVC Bars: The script highlights HVC bars, indicating potential opportunities based on volume and price action analysis.
👉Interpret Targets and Stop Losses: Use the color-coded lines (green for targets, red for stop losses) to guide your trade entries and exits.
👉Contextual Analysis: Always consider the HVC bar signals in conjunction with overall market trends and additional technical indicators for comprehensive trading decisions.
This script is designed to assist traders in identifying high-potential trading setups by using a combination of volume and price analysis, enhancing traditional methods with a unique, algorithmically driven approach.

Through rigorous validation, including the insights from "The Trading Mindwheel," this indicator helps traders navigate the complexities of the market with an informed, strategic approach.
Whether you're contemplating a new position or evaluating an existing one, the " Danger Signals " indicator is designed to provide the clarity needed to avoid potential pitfalls and capitalize on opportunities with confidence. Embrace a smarter way to trade, where awareness and preparation open the door to success.
Let's dive into each of the components of this indicator.
Volume: Volume refers to the number of shares or contracts traded in a security or an entire market during a given period. It is a measure of the total trading activity and liquidity, indicating the overall interest in a stock or market.
Price Action: the analysis of historical prices to inform trading decisions, without the use of technical indicators. It focuses on the movement of prices to identify patterns, trends, and potential reversal points in the market.
Relative Strength Line: The RS line is a popular tool used to compare the performance of a stock, typically calculated as the ratio of the stock's price to a benchmark index's price. It helps identify outperformers and underperformers relative to the market or a specific sector. The RS value is calculated by dividing the close price of the chosen stock by the close price of the comparative symbol (SPX by default).
Average True Range (ATR): ATR is a market volatility indicator used to show the average range prices swing over a specified period. It is calculated by taking the moving average of the true ranges of a stock for a specific period. The true range for a period is the greatest of the following three values:
The difference between the current high and the current low.
The absolute value of the current high minus the previous close.
The absolute value of the current low minus the previous close.
Average Daily Range (ADR): ADR is a measure used in trading to capture the average range between the high and low prices of an asset over a specified number of past trading days. Unlike the Average True Range (ATR), which accounts for gaps in the price from one day to the next, the Average Daily Range focuses solely on the trading range within each day and averages it out.
Anchored VWAP: AVWAP gives the average price of an asset, weighted by volume, starting from a specific anchor point. This provides traders with a dynamic average price considering both price and volume from a specific start point, offering insights into the market's direction and potential support or resistance levels.
Moving Averages: Moving Averages smooth out price data by creating a constantly updated average price over a specific period of time. It helps traders identify trends by flattening out the fluctuations in price data.
Stochastic: A stochastic oscillator is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis that compares a particular closing price of an asset to a range of its prices over a certain period of time. The theory behind the stochastic oscillator is that in a market trending upwards, prices will tend to close near their high, and in a market trending downwards, prices close near their low.
While each of these components offer unique insights into market behavior, providing sell signals under specific conditions, the power of combining these different signals lies in their ability to confirm each other's signals. This in turn reduces false positives and provides a more reliable basis for trading decisions
These signals can be recognized at any time, however the indicators power is in it's ability to take into account where a trade is in terms of your entry price and stop.
If a trade just started, it hasn’t earned much leeway. Kind of like a new employee that shows up late on the first day of work. It’s less forgivable than say the person who has been there for a while, has done well, is on time, and then one day comes in late.
Contextual Sensitivity:
For instance, a high volume sell-off coupled with a bearish price action pattern significantly strengthens the sell signal. When the price closes below an Anchored VWAP or a critical moving average in this context, it reaffirms the bearish sentiment, suggesting that the momentum is likely to continue downwards.
By considering the relative strength line (RS) alongside volume and price action, the indicator can differentiate between a normal retracement in a strong uptrend and a when a stock starts to become a laggard.
The integration of ATR and ADR provides a dynamic framework that adjusts to the market's volatility. A sudden increase in ATR or a character change detected through comparing short-term and long-term ADR can alert traders to emerging trends or reversals.
The "Danger Signals" indicator exemplifies the power of integrating diverse technical indicators to create a more sophisticated, responsive, and adaptable trading tool. This approach not only amplifies the individual strengths of each indicator but also mitigates their weaknesses.
