CCI Buy and Sell Signals with 20/30 EMACCI Buy and Sell Signals with EMA and ATR Stop Loss/Take Profit
This indicator is designed to identify buy and sell signals based on a combination of the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). It also includes an optional ATR-based stop loss and take profit system, which is useful for traders who want to manage their trades with dynamic risk levels.
Features:
CCI Buy and Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: A buy signal is triggered when the CCI crosses up through -100 (from an oversold condition), the 20-period EMA is above the 30-period EMA, and the price is above the 200-period EMA. This suggests that the market is entering an upward trend.
Sell Signal: A sell signal is triggered when the CCI crosses down through +100 (from an overbought condition), the 20-period EMA is below the 30-period EMA, and the price is below the 200-period EMA. This suggests that the market is entering a downward trend.
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA):
The script plots three EMAs:
20-period EMA (Green): Used to identify short-term trends.
30-period EMA (Red): Used to capture medium-term trends.
200-period EMA (Orange): A long-term trend filter, with the price above it generally indicating bullish conditions and below it indicating bearish conditions.
ATR-Based Stop Loss and Take Profit:
Optional Feature: The ATR (Average True Range) indicator can be used to set stop loss and take profit levels based on market volatility.
Stop Loss: Set at a multiple of the ATR below the entry price for long positions and above the entry price for short positions.
Take Profit: Set at a multiple of the ATR above the entry price for long positions and below the entry price for short positions.
Customizable: You can adjust the ATR length, Stop Loss Multiplier, and Take Profit Multiplier through the settings.
Dots: The stop loss and take profit levels are plotted as dots on the chart when the ATR feature is enabled.
Alert Conditions:
Buy Signal Alert: Triggered when a buy signal occurs based on CCI crossing up -100 and other conditions being met.
Sell Signal Alert: Triggered when a sell signal occurs based on CCI crossing down +100 and other conditions being met.
Any Signal Alert: This is a combined alert that triggers for either a buy or sell signal. It helps you stay updated on both types of signals simultaneously.
How to Use:
The indicator will plot buy and sell arrows on the chart, giving clear entry points for trades based on CCI and EMA conditions.
The ATR stop loss and take profit dots (when enabled) provide automatic risk management levels, adjusting dynamically with market volatility.
Traders can customize the ATR settings to fine-tune their stop loss and take profit levels, making this strategy adaptable to different trading styles and market conditions.

Smart VolumeThis script introduces a unique approach to volume analysis by combining three critical components that work together to identify institutional activity:
1. Adaptive Volume Analysis
- Automatically calculates significant volume thresholds specific to each stock (current bar volume compared to the average of previous 6 bars)
- Unlike standard indicators using fixed multipliers (like 2x average volume), this adapts to each stock's unique trading characteristics
- Example: A 2x volume spike might be significant for AAPL but irrelevant for a volatile small-cap
2. Volume Contraction Pattern (VCP) Detection
- Identifies periods of decreasing volume with precise criteria:
• Requires 6+ consecutive periods of declining volume
• Volume must compress by at least 20% from peak
• Price must remain within a defined channel
- Automatically detects completion of compression patterns
3. RVM (Relative Volatility Measure) Integration
- Measures current volatility against historical averages
- Identifies low-volatility periods that often precede major moves
- When combined with volume compression, signals higher probability setups
How Components Work Together:
- Volume spikes are evaluated against stock-specific thresholds
- VCP detection runs continuously to identify compression patterns
- RVM confirms volatility contraction aligned with volume compression
- When all three align, the indicator signals potential breakout entry
Usage:
1. Monitor volume bars for spikes above adaptive thresholds (bright green/red)|
2. Monitor average volume line turning from white to green indicating volume contraction (the brighter the green the more contraction happened)
2. Watch for green shading at the zero-line indicating volatility compression (RVM)
3. Use the statistics table for more insights
Original Features:
- First indicator to combine adaptive volume thresholds with VCP detection
- Implements stock-specific volume analysis instead of fixed multipliers
- Integrates volatility confirmation with volume patterns
- Provides real-time statistical analysis of compression patterns
Best suited for daily timeframes on liquid stocks where institutional activity is most visible.
Note: While patterns suggest potential moves, always confirm with price action before trading.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analysis Explanation:
I’m forecasting that Bitcoin will retest its November 12th low (~$85,098.75) around January 20th, 2025, where the horizontal support line intersects with the downtrend line. This conclusion is based on the following:
Trend Analysis:
The chart shows a clear downtrend with price respecting the descending trendline.
The intersection of the horizontal support and the downtrend line on January 20th indicates a confluence point where price action may gravitate.
Volume and Activity Insights:
Using the Retail vs Institutional Activity indicator, the chart highlights periods dominated by institutional (red background) or retail (green background) activity.
Current price action is in a green zone, suggesting predominantly retail participation with lower volume and insignificant price movements.
Retail vs Institutional Dynamics:
Institutional activity (red zones) aligns with significant price movements and volume spikes, often marking key turning points or trends.
The recent green retail-dominated periods suggest a lack of strong momentum, which may lead to continued price decline until institutions re-enter around the confluence area.
Volume Observations:
Volume remains relatively low during the current retail phase, indicating weak buying pressure.
A potential surge in institutional activity (red zones) near the support level could trigger a rebound or breakdown.
I expect Bitcoin’s price to drop further and test the November 12th low near $85,098.75 on January 20th, 2025. This projection is supported by the convergence of the downtrend line and horizontal support, low retail-driven volume, and historical institutional activity patterns observed using the "Retail vs Institutional Activity" indicator.

Forex Hammer and Hanging Man StrategyThe strategy is based on two key candlestick chart patterns: Hammer and Hanging Man. These chart patterns are widely used in technical analysis to identify potential reversal points in the market. Their relevance in the Forex market, known for its high liquidity and volatile price movements, is particularly pronounced. Both patterns provide insights into market sentiment and trader psychology, which are critical in currency trading, where short-term volatility plays a significant role.
1. Hammer:
• Typically occurs after a downtrend.
• Signals a potential trend reversal to the upside.
• A Hammer has:
• A small body (close and open are close to each other).
• A long lower shadow, at least twice as long as the body.
• No or a very short upper shadow.
2. Hanging Man:
• Typically occurs after an uptrend.
• Signals a potential reversal to the downside.
• A Hanging Man has:
• A small body, similar to the Hammer.
• A long lower shadow, at least twice as long as the body.
• A small or no upper shadow.
These patterns are a manifestation of market psychology, specifically the tug-of-war between buyers and sellers. The Hammer reflects a situation where sellers tried to push the price down but were overpowered by buyers, while the Hanging Man shows that buyers failed to maintain the upward movement, and sellers could take control.
Relevance of Chart Patterns in Forex
In the Forex market, chart patterns are vital tools because they offer insights into price action and market sentiment. Since Forex trading often involves large volumes of trades, chart patterns like the Hammer and Hanging Man are important for recognizing potential shifts in market momentum. These patterns are a part of technical analysis, which aims to forecast future price movements based on historical data, relying on the psychology of market participants.
Scientific Literature on the Relevance of Candlestick Patterns
1. Behavioral Finance and Candlestick Patterns:
Research on behavioral finance supports the idea that candlestick patterns, such as the Hammer and Hanging Man, are relevant because they reflect shifts in trader psychology and sentiment. According to Lo, Mamaysky, and Wang (2000), patterns like these could be seen as representations of collective investor behavior, influenced by overreaction, optimism, or pessimism, and can often signal reversals in market trends.
2. Statistical Validation of Chart Patterns:
Studies by Brock, Lakonishok, and LeBaron (1992) explored the profitability of technical analysis strategies, including candlestick patterns, and found evidence that certain patterns, such as the Hammer, can have predictive value in financial markets. While their study primarily focused on stock markets, their findings are generally applicable to the Forex market as well.
3. Market Efficiency and Candlestick Patterns:
The efficient market hypothesis (EMH) posits that all available information is reflected in asset prices, but some studies suggest that markets may not always be perfectly efficient, allowing for profitable exploitation of certain chart patterns. For instance, Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) found that momentum strategies, which often rely on price patterns and trends, could generate significant returns, suggesting that patterns like the Hammer or Hanging Man may provide a slight edge, particularly in short-term Forex trading.
Testing the Strategy in Forex Using the Provided Script
The provided script allows traders to test and evaluate the Hammer and Hanging Man patterns in Forex trading by entering positions when these patterns appear and holding the position for a specified number of periods. This strategy can be tested to assess its performance across different currency pairs and timeframes.
1. Testing on Different Timeframes:
• The effectiveness of candlestick patterns can vary across different timeframes, as market dynamics change with the level of detail in each timeframe. Shorter timeframes may provide more frequent signals, but with higher noise, while longer timeframes may produce more reliable signals, but with fewer opportunities. This multi-timeframe analysis could be an area to explore to enhance the strategy’s robustness.
2. Exit Strategies:
• The script incorporates an exit strategy where positions are closed after holding them for a specified number of periods. This is useful for testing how long the reversal patterns typically take to play out and when the optimal exit occurs for maximum profitability. It can also help to adjust the exit logic based on real-time market behavior.
Conclusion
The Hammer and Hanging Man patterns are widely recognized in technical analysis as potential reversal signals, and their application in Forex trading is valuable due to the market’s high volatility and liquidity. This strategy leverages these candlestick patterns to enter and exit trades based on shifts in market sentiment and psychology. Testing and optimization, as offered by the script, can help refine the strategy and improve its effectiveness.
For further refinement, it could be valuable to consider combining candlestick patterns with other technical indicators or using multi-timeframe analysis to confirm patterns and increase the probability of successful trades.

Phase Cross Strategy with Zone### Introduction to the Strategy
Welcome to the **Phase Cross Strategy with Zone and EMA Analysis**. This strategy is designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell opportunities based on the crossover of smoothed oscillators (referred to as "phases") and exponential moving averages (EMAs). By combining these two methods, the strategy offers a versatile tool for both trend-following and short-term trading setups.
### Key Features
1. **Phase Cross Signals**:
- The strategy uses two smoothed oscillators:
- **Leading Phase**: A simple moving average (SMA) with an upward offset.
- **Lagging Phase**: An exponential moving average (EMA) with a downward offset.
- Buy and sell signals are generated when these phases cross over or under each other, visually represented on the chart with green (buy) and red (sell) labels.
2. **Phase Zone Visualization**:
- The area between the two phases is filled with a green or red zone, indicating bullish or bearish conditions:
- Green zone: Leading phase is above the lagging phase (potential uptrend).
- Red zone: Leading phase is below the lagging phase (potential downtrend).
3. **EMA Analysis**:
- Includes five commonly used EMAs (13, 26, 50, 100, and 200) for additional trend analysis.
- Crossovers of the EMA 13 and EMA 26 act as secondary buy/sell signals to confirm or enhance the phase-based signals.
4. **Customizable Parameters**:
- You can adjust the smoothing length, source (price data), and offset to fine-tune the strategy for your preferred trading style.
### What to Pay Attention To
1. **Phases and Zones**:
- Use the green/red phase zone as an overall trend guide.
- Avoid taking trades when the phases are too close or choppy, as it may indicate a ranging market.
2. **EMA Trends**:
- Align your trades with the longer-term trend shown by the EMAs. For example:
- In an uptrend (price above EMA 50 or EMA 200), prioritize buy signals.
- In a downtrend (price below EMA 50 or EMA 200), prioritize sell signals.
3. **Signal Confirmation**:
- Consider combining phase cross signals with EMA crossovers for higher-confidence trades.
- Look for confluence between the phase signals and EMA trends.
4. **Risk Management**:
- Always set stop-loss and take-profit levels to manage risk.
- Use the phase and EMA zones to estimate potential support/resistance areas for exits.
5. **Whipsaws and False Signals**:
- Be cautious in low-volatility or sideways markets, as the strategy may generate false signals.
- Use additional indicators or filters to avoid entering trades during unclear market conditions.
### How to Use
1. Add the strategy to your chart in TradingView.
2. Adjust the input settings (e.g., smoothing length, offsets) to suit your trading preferences.
3. Enable the strategy tester to evaluate its performance on historical data.
4. Combine the signals with your own analysis and risk management plan for best results.
This strategy is a versatile tool, but like any trading method, it requires proper understanding and discretion. Always backtest thoroughly and trade with discipline. Let me know if you need further assistance or adjustments to the strategy!
Custom Percent Pullback LevelThis script takes a stock's current day low and current day high and lets you set a custom pullback level (line and label on the chart) that you can then set an alert for or use as an indicator if the stock is still bullish or bearish.
Pullbacks can be useful for momentum runners to identify potential continuation. As a rule of thumb many people want to see that stock hold onto at least 33% of it's daily gain to continue a bullish look. Some people may want it to hold 50%, and others may want to see a certain amount of gains held through new highs.
This tool allows you to set a custom pullback level for that day so you can easily spot on the chart if the stock is nearing or falling below those levels. You can also set an alert for that level in order to get your attention.
Up Gap Strategy with DelayThis strategy, titled “Up Gap Strategy with Delay,” is based on identifying up gaps in the price action of an asset. A gap is defined as the percentage difference between the current bar’s open price and the previous bar’s close price. The strategy triggers a long position if the gap exceeds a user-defined threshold and includes a delay period before entering the position. After entering, the position is held for a set number of periods before being closed.
Key Features:
1. Gap Threshold: The strategy defines an up gap when the gap size exceeds a specified threshold (in percentage terms). The gap threshold is an input parameter that allows customization based on the user’s preference.
2. Delay Period: After the gap occurs, the strategy waits for a delay period before initiating a long position. This delay can help mitigate any short-term volatility that might occur immediately after the gap.
3. Holding Period: Once the position is entered, it is held for a user-defined number of periods (holdingPeriods). This is to capture the potential post-gap trend continuation, as gaps often indicate strong directional momentum.
4. Gap Plotting: The strategy visually plots up gaps on the chart by placing a green label beneath the bar where the gap condition is met. Additionally, the background color turns green to highlight up-gap occurrences.
5. Exit Condition: The position is exited after the defined holding period. The strategy ensures that the position is closed after this time, regardless of whether the price is in profit or loss.
Scientific Background:
The gap theory has been widely studied in financial literature and is based on the premise that gaps in price often represent areas of significant support or resistance. According to research by Kaufman (2002), gaps in price action can be indicators of future price direction, particularly when they occur after a period of consolidation or a trend reversal. Moreover, Gaps and their Implications in Technical Analysis (Murphy, 1999) highlights that gaps can reflect imbalances between supply and demand, leading to high momentum and potential price continuation or reversal.
In trading strategies, utilizing gaps with specific conditions, such as delay and holding periods, can enhance the ability to capture significant price moves. The strategy’s delay period helps avoid potential market noise immediately after the gap, while the holding period seeks to capitalize on the price continuation that often follows gap formation.
This methodology aligns with momentum-based strategies, which rely on the persistence of trends in financial markets. Several studies, including Jegadeesh & Titman (1993), have documented the existence of momentum effects in stock prices, where past price movements can be predictive of future returns.
Conclusion:
This strategy incorporates gap detection and momentum principles, supported by empirical research in technical analysis, to attempt to capitalize on price movements following significant gaps. By waiting for a delay period and holding the position for a specified time, it aims to mitigate the risk associated with early volatility while maximizing the potential for sustained price moves.
Swing Structure Scanner [LuxAlgo]The Swing Structure Scanner Indicator is a dashboard type indicator which displays a Consolidated "High/Low-Only" view of swing structure, with the capability to retrieve and display swing points from up to 6 different tickers and timeframes at once.
🔶 USAGE
This indicator displays swing structure data from up to 6 unique tickers or timeframes; Each graph represents the current swing structure retrieved from the requested chart/s.
Each swing graph displays the current live swing point positioning relative to the previous swing points. By analyzing the different formations, patterns can more easily be recognized and found across multiple tickers or timeframes at once.
This indicator serves as a nifty tool for confluence recognition, whether that's confluence throughout market tickers, or confluence through higher timeframes on the same ticker.
Alternatively, viewing the relative positioning of each swing point to each other, should give a clearer idea when higher lows or lower highs are formed. This can potentially indicate a newly forming trend, as well as serving as a warning to watch for breakouts.
The swing length can be changed to align with each individual's strategy, as well as a display look back can be adjusted to show more or less swing points at one time.
The display is fairly customizable, it is not fixed to 6 symbols at all times and can be minimized to only display the number of symbols needed; Additionally, the display can be set to vertical mode or horizontal(default) to utilize as needed.
Note: Hover over the swing point in the dashboard to get a readout of the exact price level of the swing point.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Length: Set the swing length for the structure calculations.
Swing Display Lookback: Sets the number of swing points (Pairs) to display in each Swing Graph display.
Symbols: Sets the Timeframe and Symbol for each Swing Graph.
Vertical Display: Display the Swing Graphs up and down, rather than side to side.
Scaling Factor: Scales the entire indicator up or down, to fit your needs.
