Trend/Retracement - ZigZag - New wayZigZag for Trend and Retracements - New way
It's another way to plot ZigZag based on lookback period for trend and % of trend lookback period to plot retracements.
█ OVERVIEW
Plot ZigZag, Trend lines, Retracements, Support levels, Resistance levels
█ Objective:
Draw ZigZag lines along with unbroken support and resistance levels. ZigZag lines are drawn for main trend and the retracements.
Main Trend – This is calculated based on lookback period.
Retracements – Retracements are calculated as 25% of main trend.
Support and Resistance line: The indicator draws 2 types of support and resistance lines
1. Un-broken – Once formed (plotted), these are the support and resistance which are not yet broken
2. Tested – One can also choose to see support and resistance lines which are tested but not broken. Tested support/resistance are those levels which are touched by high/low price but close price has not crossed the level.
█ How main trend point is calculated:
E.g.
Chart timeframe = 15m
Lookback period = 250
Retracement = 25% of main trend ( 25% of 250 = 62 )
A price point on a chart is considered as trend point if distance between current price and previous highest price is 250 candles
A price point is considered as a retracement if distance between current price and previous highest price is 62 candles. Please note retracements are calculated only after finding a main trend point.
█ Input parameters:
Zigzag Parameters
Use predefined Lookback – If checked pre-defined timeframe-based lookback parameters are used.
Trend lookback candles – If ‘Use predefined Lookback’ is unchecked then this value is used as lookback period.
Retracement % of look back candles– If ‘Use predefined Lookback’ is unchecked then this value is used for calculating retracement lookback period
Mark retracements – If unchecked only main trend lines are plotted
Plot support/resistance – To plot support/resistance levels
Show support/resistance tested lines – If checked tested support/resistance liens are shown on the chart
█ TF based Lookback period config (Defaults are set as specified below, One can change these defaults to use different lookback periods)
The defaults set here are used based on the chart timeframe. e.g. if chart timeframe is changed from say 15m to 60m then 60m chart defaults (i.e. trend lookback = 90) are used to plot the trend and the retracements. At the bottom-right of the chart, parameters used for plotting are displayed all the time.
Timeframe in minute – Default = 5m
Trend lookback candles – Default = 375 (~ 5 days of data)
Timeframe in minute – Default = 15m
Trend lookback candles – Default = 250 (~10 days of data)
Timeframe in minute – Default = 60m
Trend lookback candles = Default = 90 (~ 15 days of data)
Trend lookback candles for timeframe 'D' – Default = 30 (~1 month data)
Trend lookback candles for timeframe 'W' – Default = 21 (~6 months data)
Trend lookback candles for timeframe 'M' – Default = 12 (~1year data)
Retracement % of look back candles – Default = 25%
█ When and where one can use this indicator (Refer to chart examples)
To view support and resistance based on lookback period
To view ZigZag lines
One can use it to find chart patterns easily
Trend and retracement lines can help in drawing Elliott waves.
█ Chart examples:
1. Chart patterns can be easily identified - One can disable the candle charts which will help to identify and draw chart patterns easily
2. Trend and retracement lines can also help is analyzing charts (e.g. Elliott Waves can be marked based on trend lines)
3. Tested but not broken support and resistance lines can be viewed
4. You can select 'NOT' to plot tested support and resistance lines
5. Uncheck the Mark retracements to plot main trend lines (Retracements are not marked)

Chart VWAP█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays a Volume-Weighted Average Price anchored to the leftmost visible bar of the chart. It dynamically recalculates when the chart's visible bars change because you scroll or zoom your chart.
If you are not already familiar with VWAP, our Help Center will get you started. The typical VWAP is designed to be used on intraday charts, as it resets at the beginning of the day. Our Rolling VWAP , instead, resets on a rolling time window. You may also find the VWAP Auto Anchored built-in indicator worth a try.
█ HOW TO USE IT
Load the indicator on an active chart (see the Help Center if you don't know how). By default, it displays the chart's VWAP in orange and a simple average of the chart's visible close values in gray. This average can be used as a companion to the VWAP, since both are calculated from the same set of bars. The script's settings allow you to hide it.
You may also use the script's settings to enable the display of the chart's OHLC (open, high, low, close) levels and the values of the high and low. These are also calculated from the range of visible bars. You can complement the high and low lines with their price and their distance in percent from the chart's latest visible close . You can use the levels to quickly identify the distances from extreme points in the visible price range, as well as observe the visible chart's beginning and end prices.
█ NOTES FOR Pine Script™ CODERS
This script showcases three novelties:
• Dynamic recalculation on visible bars
• The VisibleChart library by PineCoders
• The new `anchor` parameter of ta.vwap()
Dynamic recalculation on visible bars
This script behaves in a novel way made possible by the recent introduction of two new built-in variables: chart.left_visible_bar_time and chart.right_visible_bar_time , which return the opening time of the leftmost and rightmost visible bars on the chart. These are only two of many new built-ins in the `chart.*` namespace. See this blog post for more information, or look up them up by typing "chart." in the Pine Script™ Reference Manual .
Any script using chart.left_visible_bar_time or chart.right_visible_bar_time acquires a unique property, which triggers its recalculation when traders scroll or zoom their chart, causing the range of visible bars to change. This new capability is what makes it possible for this script to calculate its VWAP on the chart's visible bars only, and dynamically recalculate if the user scrolls or zooms their chart.
This script is just a start to the party; endless uses for indicators that redraw on changes to the chart will no doubt emerge through the hands of our community's Pine Script™ programmers.
The VisibleChart library by PineCoders
The newly published VisibleChart library is designed to help programmers benefit from the new capabilities made possible by the fact that Pine Script™ code can now tell when it is executing on visible bars. The library's description, functions and example code will help programmers make the most of the new feature.
This script uses three of the library's functions:
• `PCvc.vVwap()` calculates a VWAP for visible bars.
• `PCvc.avg()` calculates the average of a source value for visible bars only. We use it to calculate the average close (the default source).
• `PCvc.chartXTimePct(25)` calculates a time value corresponding to 25% of the horizontal distance between visible bars, starting from the left.
The new `anchor` parameter of ta.vwap()
Our script also uses this new `anchor` parameter to reset the VWAP at the leftmost visible bar. See how simple the code is for the VisibleChart library's `vVwap()` function.
Look first. Then leap.
Charting the US02Y-US10YPutting together a script that charts the US02Y - US10Y in visual format. First script I've ever written and would like some feed back as to how I could improve. Also currently have to turn on "Indicator Last Value Label, and Indicator Name Label" if you would like data to appear on the chart. Works best when the US02Y-US10Y chart is being displayed!

SDR Dashboard v3.1: 结构距离与节奏SDR Dashboard v3.1: User Guide & Trading Strategy
1. Introduction
The SDR Dashboard is a comprehensive technical indicator designed to identify high-probability trend-following trade opportunities. It is built on the core principle of "buying the dip in an uptrend" and "selling the rally in a downtrend."
To achieve this, the indicator combines three key elements of market analysis:
Rhythm (The Long-Term Trend): Determines the overall market direction.
Distance (The Pullback Location): Identifies when the price has pulled back to an area of potential value.
Momentum (The Entry Trigger): Provides the final confirmation to enter a trade.
A signal is only generated when all three conditions align, providing a clear and disciplined approach to trading.
2. Core Components Explained
The indicator's logic is visualized through the background color and the oscillator at the bottom of the chart.
Rhythm: The Background Color
The background color is determined by the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which defines the long-term trend.
🟦 Blue Background: The price is above the 200 EMA. The market is in an uptrend. You should ONLY look for BUY signals.
🟥 Red Background: The price is below the 200 EMA. The market is in a downtrend. You should ONLY look for SELL signals.
⬜ Gray Background: The price is hovering around the 200 EMA. The trend is unclear or the market is in a consolidation phase. You should STAY OUT and wait for a clear trend to establish.
Distance: The Oscillator & Zones
The multi-colored line at the bottom is the "Distance Oscillator." It measures how overbought or oversold the price is relative to its recent range (defaulting to the last 50 bars).
Overbought Zone (Red Area > +80): In a downtrend, this indicates the price has rallied to a potential resistance level and may be due for a turn back down.
Oversold Zone (Green Area < -80): In an uptrend, this indicates the price has dipped to a potential support level and may be due for a turn back up.
Momentum: The Stochastic Cross (The Hidden Trigger)
This indicator uses a standard Stochastic Oscillator in the background (not plotted to keep the chart clean) as the final entry trigger.
A bullish crossover (K-line crossing above D-line) confirms that downside momentum is fading and buying pressure is returning.
A bearish crossunder (K-line crossing below D-line) confirms that upside momentum is fading and selling pressure is returning.
3. How to Use: Trading Rules
BUY Signal (Long Entry)
Look for a green "▲" arrow below a candle. This signal appears ONLY when the following three conditions are met in order:
Rhythm is Bullish: The chart background must be BLUE.
Distance is Oversold: The Distance Oscillator must have recently dipped into the green "Support Zone" (below -80) within the last 3 bars. This shows a pullback has occurred.
Momentum Confirms: The Stochastic Oscillator has just executed a bullish crossover. This is the trigger.
Strategy: In a clear uptrend (blue background), wait for a price dip into the support area. Enter when the green arrow appears, confirming the dip is likely over and the uptrend is resuming.
SELL Signal (Short Entry)
Look for a red "▼" arrow above a candle. This signal appears ONLY when the following three conditions are met in order:
Rhythm is Bearish: The chart background must be RED.
Distance is Overbought: The Distance Oscillator must have recently pushed into the red "Resistance Zone" (above +80) within the last 3 bars. This shows a rally has occurred.
Momentum Confirms: The Stochastic Oscillator has just executed a bearish crossunder. This is the trigger.
Strategy: In a clear downtrend (red background), wait for a price rally into the resistance area. Enter when the red arrow appears, confirming the rally is likely over and the downtrend is resuming.
4. Best Practices & Risk Management
No Indicator is Perfect: This tool provides high-probability setups, not guaranteed wins. Always use proper risk management, including setting a stop-loss for every trade.
Context is Key: The indicator works best in trending markets. Be cautious during periods of low volatility or sideways chop (gray background).
Parameter Tuning: The default settings are a balanced starting point. Feel free to experiment with the lookback periods and thresholds in the indicator's settings to optimize for different assets and timeframes.
Price Density Strategy ScoreBased on the rules we defined, a composite score (-3 to +3) is calculated and displayed as colored bars below the chart:
Dark green (+3): Strong buy signal
Light green (+1, +2): Mildly bullish
Gray (0): Neutral
Light red (-1, -2): Mildly bearish
Dark red (-3): Strong sell signal
根据我们定义的规则，计算一个综合分数（-3 到 +3），并在图表下方用不同颜色的柱状图显示出来：
深绿色 (+3)：强力买入信号
浅绿色 (+1, +2)：温和看涨
灰色 (0)：中性
浅红色 (-1, -2)：温和看跌
深红色 (-3)：强力卖出信号
Fair Value GapsFair Value Gaps Indicator
The Fair Value Gaps (FVG) Indicator is a sleek, lightweight tool designed to identify and display unfilled fair value price gaps on any chart and timeframe. It dynamically updates as price moves into gaps, shrinking the displayed area to show only the remaining unfilled portion until the gap is fully closed. With a user-friendly settings panel, traders can customize visuals to suit their style, including a minimalist version.
Features
When a valid FVG is detected through a three-candle pattern, a box appears, highlighting the precise gap range. As price enters the gap, the box adjusts to reflect the remaining unfilled area, and when fully filled, the gap is deleted, allowing new gaps to appear. The settings panel offers robust customization for a tailored experience.
Preset Styles :
Custom : Define your own color and zone extension settings. (Default)
Blue Boxes : Blue gaps with 85% transparency and zones extended to the right.
Minimalist Yellow : Yellow gaps with 75% transparency, confined to the original gap area on the candlestick.
Color : Change the gap color and transparency.
Extend FVG Zone : Enable or disable zone extension to the right.
Show Borders : Toggle subtle borders on or off for enhanced visibility.
Maximum FVGs Displayed : Change the number of gaps displayed on the chart.
Thank you for your interest in my work. I use these fair value gaps as part of my trade trigger for many of my trade entries almost every day. If you have any comments, bugs, or suggestions, please leave them here, or you can find me on Twitter or Discord.

Simple Sessions & LevelsWhat this indicator does:
This script marks out two essential types of price levels for intraday and swing traders:
The high and low of a customizable 15-minute opening range after the market/session open.
The previous day’s high, midpoint (“halfback”), and low.
How it works:
The script lets you set the session start time (hour and minute) to match your market.
It then calculates the high and low of the first 15 minutes after the session opens and plots those as solid lines.
It also plots the prior day’s high, halfback (midpoint), and low on your chart for easy reference.
Each line and each label can be toggled on or off independently in the settings for maximum customization.
Colors for each level are also fully customizable.
How to use it:
Add the script to your chart.
Set the session start hour and minute to match the open of the market or instrument you trade.
Choose which levels and labels you want displayed by using the toggles in the settings.
The indicator will automatically draw the session range and prior day levels for you.
Use these lines as reference for key support, resistance, and potential trade entry/exit points.
What makes it unique and useful:
This tool combines a flexible session opening range with classic daily reference levels in one package. You have complete control over which levels and labels are shown, making it adaptable for any trading style. It’s especially useful for day traders who want to quickly identify volatility windows and the most important price levels from the previous session.
Scanner Candles v2.01The "Scanner Candle v.2.01" is an indicator classifies candles based on the body/range ratio: indecisive (small body, ≤50%), decisive (medium body), explosive (large body, ≥70%). It includes EMAs to identify trends and "Reset Candles" (RC), small-bodied candles near EMAs, signaling potential reversals or continuations. Useful for analyzing volatility, breakouts, reversals, and risk management.
Description of the indicator:
The "Scanner Candle v.2.01" indicator classifies candles into three categories based on the proportion of the candle's body to its range (high-low):
Indecisive: candles with a small body (≤ set threshold, default 50%), indicating low volatility or market uncertainty.
Decisive: candles with a medium body, reflecting a clear but not extreme price movement.
Explosive: candles with a large body (≥ set threshold, default 70%), signaling strong directional moves.
Additionally, the indicator includes:
Customizable exponential moving averages (EMAs) to identify trends and support/resistance levels.
Detection of "Reset Candles" (RC), specific candles (e.g., dojis, ) with a small bodies body near EMAs, useful for identifying potential reversal or continuation points.
Coloring and visualization:
Candles are colored by category (white for indecisive, orange for decisive, purple for explosive).
Reset Candles are marked with circles above/below the candle (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Potential uses:
Volatility analysis: Identifying uncertain (indecisive), directional (decisive), or impulsive (explosive) market phases.
Breakout trading: Explosive candles can signal entry opportunities on strong moves.
Reversal detection: Reset Candles near EMAs can indicate turning points or trend continuation.
Trend-following support: Integrated EMAs contextualize candles within the main trend.
Risk management: Indecisive candles suggest avoiding trades in low-directionality phases.
The indicator is customizable (thresholds, colors, thresholdsEMAs, ) and adaptable to various timeframes and strategies, from day trading to swing trading.
Reset Candles:
Reset Candles (RC) are specific candles signaling potential reversals or continuations, often near EMAs. They are defined by:
Small body: Body < 5% of the range of the last 10 candles, indicating low volatility (e.g., doji).
EMA proximity: The candle is near or crosses a defined EMA (e.g., 10, 60, or 223 periods).
Trend conditions: Follows a red candle, with the close of the previous previous candles above a specific EMA, suggesting a potential bullish resumption or stabilization.
Limited spike: The candle has minimal tails (spikes, ) below a set threshold (default 1%).
Minimum timeframe: Appears on timeframes ≥ set value (default 5 minutes) or daily charts.
Non-consecutive: Not preceded by other RCs in the last 3 candles.
Types:
Doji_fin: Green circle above, signaling a bullish bullish setup near longer EMAs.
Dojifin_2: Yellow Red circle below, signaling a bearish setup near shorter EMAs.
Trading uses:
Reversal: RCs near EMAs signal bounces or rejections, ideal for counter-trend trades.
Continuation: In trends, RCs indicate pauses before trend resumption, offering low-risk entries.
Support/resistance confirmation: EMA proximity strengthens the level's significance.
Risk management: Small bodies and EMA proximity allow tight stop-losses.
Limitations:
False signals: Common in volatile or sideways markets; use with additional confirmation.
Timeframe dependency: More reliable on higher timeframes (e.g., 1-hour or daily).
Customization needed: Thresholds (e.g., spike, timeframe) must be tailored to the market.
Conclusion:
Reset Candles highlight low-volatility moments near technical levels (EMAs) that may precede significant moves. They are ideal for precise entries with tight stops in reversal or continuation strategies but require clear market context and additional confirmation for optimal effectiveness.

cd_cisd_market_CxHi Traders,
Overview:
Many traders follow market structure to identify the market direction and seek trade opportunities in line with the trend.
However, markings derived from user-defined inputs can create different structures, depending on personal choices. For instance, choosing a pivot distance of 3 instead of 2 alters the structure, even though the chart remains the same. Ideally, the structure should remain consistent.
"Change in State Delivery" ( CISD ) is a widely accepted concept among traders and is considered a significant indicator of market direction based on the gain/loss of CISD levels.
In this indicator, CISD is selected as the primary criterion for marking market structure, eliminating the influence of user-dependent variations.
Here is a summary of the key logic and rules applied:
• When the price forms a new high/low, that level is only considered a pivot if a CISD has occurred.
• A bullish CISD is always followed by a bearish CISD, and vice versa.
• Pivot points form the internal structure.
• The internal structure is used to interpret the swing structure.
• Probabilities are derived from internal structure patterns.
________________________________________
Details:
How is CISD determined?
As is commonly known:
• When price makes a new high, the opening level of the first candle in the consecutive bullish candle sequence is marked.
• When price makes a new low, the opening of the first candle in the consecutive bearish sequence is marked.
• If there’s only one candle in the sequence, its opening level is used.
In a bullish market, losing a bearish CISD level (i.e., a close below it) or in a bearish market, gaining a bullish CISD level (i.e., a close above it) is interpreted as a potential shift in buyer-seller dominance and a possible market reversal.
________________________________________
How are internal (pivot) levels determined?
• When price closes below a bearish CISD level, the highest candle's high becomes a pivot high (PH).
• When price closes above a bullish CISD level, the lowest candle's low becomes a pivot low (PL).
• If the new PH is above the previous PH, it’s labeled as HH (Higher High); otherwise, LH (Lower High).
• If the new PL is below the previous PL, it’s labeled as LL (Lower Low); otherwise, HL (Higher Low).
________________________________________
Internal Market Structure:
• A series of HHs indicates a bullish internal structure.
• A series of LLs indicates a bearish internal structure.
________________________________________
Swing (Main) Market Structure:
Using internal pivots and previous swing levels, the main market structure is derived.
• A new swing high (SH) requires the price to move above the previous SH.
• A new swing low (SL) requires the price to move below the previous SL.
________________________________________
Probability Calculation:
Pivot levels forming the internal structure are coded as five-element sequences.
There are 64 possible combinations of such sequences made from consecutive PH and PL values.
Each pattern’s frequency from its starting candle is tracked.
To make it more understandable:
For example, after the four-sequence “HH, LL, LH,HL”, either HH or LH might follow.
The table shows the statistical likelihood of both possible outcomes for the most recent four-element sequence on the chart.
________________________________________
How reliable is it?
To assess reliability, results are calculated from the beginning using:
Success Rate (Suc. Rt) = Number of Correct Predictions / Total Predictions
This value is added to the table for reference.

You can enable or disable each zone's lines using the indicator inputs. This helps to quickly spot important intraday sessions or time ranges on your chart.
SMT DivergenceSMT Divergence Indicator
This powerful indicator identifies high-probability reversal points by detecting SMT (Smart Money Technique) divergences between two correlated assets. It spots subtle shifts in market momentum, revealing when one asset fails to confirm the price action of another—often signaling an impending trend change.
Key Features:
Inter-Market Divergence Detection: Automatically compares the price action of the main symbol with a second user-defined asset.
Identifies Key Reversals: Pinpoints both bullish and bearish SMT divergences, highlighting hidden strength in downtrends and underlying weakness in uptrends.
Customizable Pivot Detection: Allows fine-tuning of the pivot length to adjust sensitivity for different market conditions and timeframes.
Flexible Display Modes: Choose between clean 'Lines' connecting the diverging pivots or precise 'Labels' marking the exact high/low points.
Full Visual Customization: Complete control over the colors and line thickness for seamless integration with your existing chart layout.
Built-in Alerts: Stay notified of every potential opportunity with alerts for both bullish and bearish signals.
Settings:
Core Parameters:
Comparison Symbol: Select the second asset to compare against for divergence analysis (e.g., NQ1! if you are charting ES1!).
Pivot Length: Defines the number of bars to the left and right required to confirm a pivot high or low.
Visual Settings:
Display Style: Choose to visualize divergences as 'Lines' or 'Labels'.
Bearish/Bullish Color: Set custom colors for bearish and bullish divergence indicators.
Line Width: Adjust the thickness of the divergence lines for optimal visibility.
Perfect for traders who utilize inter-market analysis to confirm trade ideas. The SMT Divergence indicator provides a crucial edge by exposing non-confirmations between related assets, allowing for earlier and more confident entries into potential market reversals.
The Butterfly [theUltimator5]This is a technical analysis tool designed to automatically detect and visualize Butterfly harmonic patterns based on recent market pivot structures. This indicator uses a unique plotting and detection algorithm to find and display valid Butterfly patterns on the chart.
The indicator works in real-time and historically by identifying major swing highs and lows (pivots) based on a user-defined ZigZag length. It then evaluates whether the most recent price structure conforms to the ideal proportions of a bullish or bearish Butterfly pattern. If the ratios between price legs XA, AB, BC, and projected CD meet defined tolerances, the pattern is plotted on the chart along with a projected D point for potential reversal.
Key Features:
Automatic Pivot Detection: The script analyzes recent price action to construct a ZigZag pattern, identifying swing points as potential X, A, B, and C coordinates.
Butterfly Pattern Validation: The pattern is validated against traditional Fibonacci ratios:
--AB should be approximately 78.6% of XA.
--BC must lie between 38.2% and 88.6% of AB.
--CD is projected as a multiple of BC, with user control over the ratio (e.g., 1.618–2.24).
Bullish and Bearish Recognition: The pattern logic detects both bullish and bearish Butterflies, automatically adjusting plotting direction and color themes.
Custom Ratio Tolerance: Users can define how strictly the AB/XA and BC/AB legs must adhere to ideal ratios, using a percentage-based tolerance slider.
Fallback Detection Logic: If a new pattern is not identified in recent bars, the script performs a backward search on the last four pivots to find the most recent valid pattern.
Force Mode: A toggle allows users to force the drawing of a Butterfly pattern on the most recent pivot structure, regardless of whether the ideal Fibonacci rules are satisfied.
Dynamic Visualization:
--Clear labeling of X, A, B, C, and D points.
--Colored connecting lines and filled triangles to visualize structure.
--Optional table displaying key Fibonacci ratios and how close each leg is to ideal values.
Inputs:
Length: Controls the sensitivity of the ZigZag pivots. Smaller values result in more frequent pivots.
Tolerance (%): Adjustable threshold for acceptable deviation in AB/XA and BC/AB ratios.
CD Length Multiplier: Projects point D by multiplying the BC leg using a value between 1.618 and 2.24.
Force New Pattern: Overrides validation checks to display a Butterfly structure on recent pivots regardless of ratio accuracy.
Show Table: Enables a table showing calculated ratios and deviations from the ideal.

Trend TraderDescription and Usage of the "Trend Trader" Indicator
The "Trend Trader" indicator, created by Gerardo Mercado as a legacy project, is a versatile trading tool designed to identify potential buy and sell signals across various instruments. While it provides predefined settings for popular instruments like US30, NDX100, GER40, and GOLD, it can be seamlessly adapted to any market, including forex pairs like EUR/USD. The indicator combines moving averages, time-based filters, and MACD confirmation to enhance decision-making for traders.
How It Works
Custom Moving Averages (MAs):
The indicator uses two moving averages:
Short MA: A faster-moving average (default: 10 periods).
Long MA: A slower-moving average (default: 100 periods).
Buy signals are generated when the Short MA crosses above the Long MA.
Sell signals are triggered when the Short MA crosses below the Long MA.
Time-Based Signals:
The user can define specific trading session times (start and end in UTC) to focus on high-activity periods for their chosen market.
Signals and background coloring are only active during the allowed session times.
MACD Confirmation:
A MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) calculation on a 15-minute timeframe ensures stronger confirmation for signals.
Buy signals require the MACD line to be above the signal line.
Sell signals require the MACD line to be at or below the signal line.
Target Levels:
Predefined profit targets are dynamically set based on the selected trading instrument.
While it includes settings for US30, NDX100, GER40, and GOLD, the target levels can be adjusted to fit the volatility and structure of any asset, including forex pairs like EUR/USD.
Target 1 and Target 2 levels display when these thresholds are met after an entry signal.
Adaptability to Any Market:
Although predefined options are included for specific instruments, the indicator's moving averages, time settings, and MACD logic are applicable to any tradable asset, making it suitable for forex, commodities, indices, and more.
Visual Alerts:
Labels appear on the chart to highlight "BUY" and "SELL" signals at crossover points.
Additional labels indicate when price movements reach the predefined target levels.
Bar and background coloring visually represent active signals and MACD alignment.
Purpose
The indicator aims to simplify trend-following and momentum-based trading strategies. By integrating moving averages, MACD, customizable time sessions, and dynamic targets, it offers clear entry and exit points while being adaptable to the needs of individual traders across diverse markets.
How to Use
Setup:
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
Configure the moving average periods, trading session times, and target levels according to your preferences.
Select the instrument for predefined target settings or customize them to fit the asset you’re trading (e.g., EUR/USD or other forex pairs).
Interpreting Signals:
Buy Signal: The Short MA crosses above the Long MA, MACD confirms the upward trend, and the session is active.
Sell Signal: The Short MA crosses below the Long MA, MACD confirms the downward trend, and the session is active.
Adapt for Any Instrument:
Adjust the predefined target levels to match the volatility and trading style for your chosen asset.
For forex pairs like EUR/USD, consider typical pip movements to set appropriate profit targets.
Targets:
Use the provided target labels (e.g., 50 or 100 points) or customize them to reflect realistic profit goals based on the asset’s volatility.
Visual Aids:
Pay attention to the background color:
Greenish: Indicates a bullish trend during the allowed session.
Redish: Indicates a bearish trend during the allowed session.
Use the "BUY" and "SELL" labels for actionable insights.
This indicator is a flexible and powerful tool, suitable for traders across all markets. Its adaptability ensures that it can enhance your strategy, whether you’re trading forex, commodities, indices, or other assets. By offering actionable alerts and customizable settings, the "Trend Trader" serves as a valuable addition to any trader’s toolkit. FX:EURUSD
Absolute High and Low {Darkoexe}This indicator identifies and visually highlights the absolute highest and lowest closing prices on a chart. It is designed to help traders quickly recognize major price extremes that can serve as significant support/resistance levels or turning points in historical price action.
🔧 What It Does
The script plots persistent horizontal lines on your chart to mark either:
The absolute highest and lowest closing prices of the entire visible chart, or
The highest and lowest closing prices within a custom range of candles, defined by the user.
These price levels are plotted using thick green and red lines, respectively, and are updated dynamically as new highs or lows are set.
⚙️ How It Works
When “Use all candles” is enabled, the script continuously updates the high and low lines based on the full price history of the chart. These lines remain until a new extreme is made.
When disabled, the script checks only the most recent N candles (max bars back input). It scans this window to find and plot the highest and lowest closes.
The lines extend to the right to help users visually anchor these key levels in future price action.
🎯 Use Cases
Spotting extreme price levels for potential mean-reversion strategies.
Confirming breakout or breakdown conditions.
Defining long-term support and resistance zones.
This tool is especially useful for discretionary traders who value historical context and want clear visual markers for past price extremes.
⚠️ Notes and Limitations
This script is not predictive. It simply marks historical price extremes based on closing values.
When using the fixed range mode (max bars back), be aware that values outside this range will not be considered.
The indicator does not repaint, but in full chart mode, it updates only when a new extreme is formed.
Mariam Ichimoku DashboardPurpose
The Mariam Ichimoku Dashboard is designed to simplify the Ichimoku trading system for both beginners and experienced traders. It provides a complete view of trend direction, strength, momentum, and key signals all in one compact dashboard on your chart. This tool helps traders make faster and more confident decisions without having to interpret every Ichimoku element manually.
How It Works
1. Trend Strength Score
Calculates a score from -5 to +5 based on Ichimoku components.
A high positive score means strong bullish momentum.
A low negative score shows strong bearish conditions.
A near-zero score indicates a sideways or unclear market.
2. Future Cloud Bias
Looks 26 candles ahead to determine if the future cloud is bullish or bearish.
This helps identify the longer-term directional bias of the market.
3. Flat Kijun / Flat Senkou B
Detects flat zones in the Kijun or Senkou B lines.
These flat areas act as strong support or resistance and can attract price.
4. TK Cross
Identifies Tenkan-Kijun crosses:
Bullish Cross means Tenkan crosses above Kijun
Bearish Cross means Tenkan crosses below Kijun
5. Last TK Cross Info
Shows whether the last TK cross was bullish or bearish and how many candles ago it happened.
Helps track trend development and timing.
6. Chikou Span Position
Checks if the Chikou Span is above, below, or inside past price.
Above means bullish momentum
Below means bearish momentum
Inside means mixed or indecisive
7. Near-Term Forecast (Breakout)
Warns when price is near the edge of the cloud, preparing for a potential breakout.
Useful for anticipating price moves.
8. Price Breakout
Shows if price has recently broken above or below the cloud.
This can confirm the start of a new trend.
9. Future Kumo Twist
Detects upcoming twists in the cloud, which often signal potential trend reversals.
10. Ichimoku Confluence
Measures how many key Ichimoku signals are in agreement.
The more signals align, the stronger the trend confirmation.
11. Price in or Near the Cloud
Displays if the price is inside the cloud, which often indicates low clarity or a choppy market.
12. Cloud Thickness
Shows whether the cloud is thin or thick.
Thick clouds provide stronger support or resistance.
Thin clouds may allow easier breakouts.
13. Recommendation
Gives a simple trading suggestion based on all major signals.
Strong Buy, Strong Sell, or Hold.
Helps simplify decision-making at a glance.
Features
All major Ichimoku signals summarized in one panel
Real-time trend strength scoring
Detects flat zones, crosses, cloud twists, and breakouts
Visual alerts for trend alignment and signal confluence
Compact, clean design
Built with simplicity in mind for beginner traders
Tips
Best used on 15-minute to 1-hour charts for short-term trading
Avoid entering trades when price is inside the cloud because the market is often indecisive
Wait for alignment between trend score, TK cross, cloud bias, and confluence
Use the dashboard to support your trading strategy, not replace it
Enable alerts for major confluence or upcoming Kumo twists
Choppiness ZONE OverlayPurpose
This script overlays choppiness zones directly onto the price chart to help traders identify whether the market is trending or ranging. It is designed to filter out low-probability trades during high choppiness conditions.
How It Works
Calculates the Choppiness Index over a user-defined period using ATR and price range.
Divides choppiness into four zones:
30 to 40: Low choppiness, possible trend initiation, shown in yellow.
40 to 50: Moderate choppiness, transition zone, shown in orange.
50 to 60: High choppiness, weakening momentum, shown in red.
60 and above: Extreme choppiness, avoid trading, shown in purple.
Highlights each zone with customizable color fills between the high and low of the selected range.
Triggers a real-time alert when choppiness exceeds 60.
Features
Customizable choppiness zones and color settings.
Real-time alert when market becomes extremely choppy (choppiness ≥ 60).
Visual zone overlay on the price chart.
Compatible with all timeframes.
Lightweight and responsive for scalping, intraday, or swing trading.

Shooting Star ORB🧠 Indicator Name: "First Candle Shooting Star + ORB"
📌 Purpose
This indicator detects when the first candle of the day forms a Shooting Star pattern and then monitors for a breakout beyond its range. It visually marks the pattern and the breakout with boxes and provides real-time alerts and a status table.
🔍 What It Does Step-by-Step
1. 📅 Detects the Start of a New Trading Day
Uses ta.change(time("D")) to identify a new trading day.
When a new day starts, it checks if the very first candle of the session is a Shooting Star.
2. 🕯️ Identifies a Shooting Star Pattern
A candle is labeled a Shooting Star if:
It has a small body compared to the full candle range.
It has a long upper shadow at least 2× the body.
It has a short or tiny lower shadow.
All these criteria are adjustable through inputs.
3. 📦 Draws a Box for the First Candle Range
If a Shooting Star is found in the first candle of the day:
It draws a red shaded box covering the high and low of that candle.
The box visually marks the potential Opening Range.
4. 💥 Detects Breakout from Shooting Star Candle
After the first candle:
If price moves above or below the range by a specified % (like 1%), it flags a breakout.
A blue shaded box is drawn at the breakout candle for visual confirmation.
5. 🔔 Alerts
🔴 Shooting Star Detected: Alerts when the first candle is a shooting star.
🔵 Breakout Detected: Alerts when the price breaks out of the first candle’s range.
6. 📊 Displays Real-Time Info Table
A small table is shown on the chart:
🕯️ Pattern: “Shooting Star” or blank
💥 Breakout: “Yes” or “No”
⏱️ The timeframe being analyzed (e.g., “5” for 5-minute)
