LT Elliott WavesLT Elliott Waves Indicator:
According to Elliott Wave Theory, price moves in 5 waves in the direction of the major trend and moves in 3 waves (ABC) when it moves against the major trend. The key purpose and value of elliott wave theory (EWT) is to provide context for chart analysis. According to the book The Elliott Wave Principle by Frost & Prechter: “This context provides both a basis for disciplined thinking and a perspective on the market's general position and outlook.” The benefit of having context is that one can identify and anticipate changes in direction.
In Elliott Wave theory, waves 1, 3, 5 and C are impulse waves (a five wave pattern that makes progress) whereas waves 2, 4, A and B are corrective waves (a three wave pattern – or combination of three waves - that moves against the direction of the larger trend). Although wave A can also be formed of 5 waves, it is commonly formed of 3 waves. Here is a brief summary of the waves:
Wave 3 tends to be the strongest and most dynamic wave – it is usually (but not always) the longest wave but it is never the shortest. Wave 4 is a corrective wave that is typically composed of 3 smaller waves (ABC) and is notorious for being messy and unpredictable in nature. Wave 5 is the final wave before a significant correction or reversal in trend and is often accompanied by divergences (e.g. negative divergences in an uptrend) and exhaustions in momentum. It is also possible for a wave 5 to form after a “blow-off top” pattern. Wave 2 is composed of 3 smaller waves (ABC) and is a retracement of wave 1 – the retracement can be shallow to moderate (23.6% to 38.2%) or deep (50%, 61.8% to 78.6%). Wave 1 is the first wave of a trend and is composed of 5 smaller waves – it usually occurs after divergences (in the prior move) and extremes in both sentiment and momentum. For example, the wave 1 of an uptrend can often begin after capitulation in the price (after a major decline), extremely pessimistic sentiment, extremely oversold momentum readings, positive divergences and sometimes accompanied by a volume breadth thrust. Waves A and C are often equal in measure. Wave A can be formed of either 5 waves or 3 waves - but more commonly it is composed of 3 waves. Wave B is always corrective and composed of 3 smaller waves. Wave C is a five wave impulse pattern.
The Elliott Wave indicator (and addendum) seeks to simplify elliott wave theory (EWT) in that its main purpose is to identify the potential major trends and corrections. The indicator takes a more simple and direct approach to EWT in that it focuses more on trying to identify whether price is trending or not and if so, the probable wave pattern. It does this by mainly using the structure of the price chart and sometimes other factors such as divergences, momentum and the relationship of price to its key averages. The indicator then takes its best guess at whether price is in a trending environment, and if so, which wave it is probably forming. The wave count can therefore depend on the chart timeframe chosen. For example, what may appear as a major downtrend on a lower timeframe chart may potentially be a corrective drop on a much higher timeframe, due to the different price structure of the charts. To keep things simple and to avoid complexity, the indicator does not display the minor sub-waves within the major waves (probably with the exception of wave 4).
The main feature and benefit of the Elliott Wave indicator is that it can remove subjectivity in chart and wave analysis. It also for flexibility in that it allows the chartist to alter the wave count and the position of the wave counts if they choose to do so (within the parameters and rules set by the indicator). As with all of technical analysis, the wave counts shown by the elliott wave indicator are NOT certain – they are only a possibility or a probability. So the risk always exists of an alternative wave count. It is for the chartist to determine the probable wave counts and limit or control the risks based on their knowledge of technical analysis and risk management.
The settings of the Elliott Wave indicator are fairly self-explanatory but here is a brief summary:
By default the indicator is set to a strict setting (“Alt 8”) in that it waits for divergences or exhaustions in momentum before a probable wave 5 is shown (i.e. the fifth wave within the elliott five wave pattern). So for example, in an uptrend, the indicator may show a probable “wave 3” if there are no negative divergences. Once a divergence appears then the indicator may change the wave count to a “wave 5” provided the parameters for this wave count have been met. This default setting can be changed and removed if the chartist wishes to do so. So if the user wants to change the wave count from a probable “wave 5” to a potential “wave 3”, then the Alt 8 setting can be unselected (i.e. unticked) in the settings and then the Alt 1 can be selected. The indicator will then display a “wave 3” count until the price reverses and breaks below a key support level, thus changing the wave count from a “3” to a probable “5”. (The opposite of this example applies in downtrends.) A strict criteria setting is provided for charts of crypto.
The Elliott Wave indicator has options in the settings to change the positions of certain wave counts based on the structure of the chart. This is achieved by choosing the different major and minor structures based on the zigzag patterns of the chart. So the user can alter the positions of certain wave counts (if needed) by modifying the zigzag structure on the chart.
The lookback period in the settings can be increased (or decreased) to include more data on the chart, when needed. In the majority of situations the lookback period can remain at the default setting of 200 bars – but the user can decide to take into account more (or less) data by changing the lookback period to 300 (or 100 if less data is required).
In the elliott wave indicator, the potential major wave counts are shown in blue and the likely ABC counts (for wave 4) are shown in yellow. The starting point for the wave counts is shown as a green “wave 5” – this is referred to as the “historical wave 5” as it is the likely fifth wave of the prior wave. (For the most recent probable wave counts, such as ABC or 123, this is covered in the elliott wave addendum indicator).
The position of the wave counts, such as waves 1 & 2, 3, 4 and the historical wave 5 (in green) can be changed and modified to a reasonable degree. The historical wave 5 is the starting point where the indicator starts “counting” the waves. The indicator makes its best guess as to where to start counting from the historical wave 5, but the user has the option to change its position, if required as per the parameters set by the indicator. When the position of the green historical wave 5 is changed, this usually affects the entire wave count. The position of the historical wave 5 (green) can be changed by Alt6 in the settings of the elliott wave indicator. Alt4 can change the positions of waves 1 and 2 in the indicator. Alt5 can modify the position of the ABC waves within wave 4 (although by default they are set to major points on the chart). The position of wave 3 can be changed by Alt7. For wider “jumps” in the position of wave 3 and wave 5, the wider jump option can be enabled in the settings. For example, “Alt7Jump” has three ways of moving (or “jumping”) the wave 3 called J1, J2 and J3. The position of most wave counts can also be altered by modifying the major and minor structures or zigzag (which can sometimes change the wave count as well).
If the chartist decides to delay the changing of the wave count, such as delaying the change of wave 3 to a wave 5, then the option Alt10 “Delayed wave count” can be enabled. For example, if the indicator displays a probable “wave 5” on the chart, Alt10 can be enabled to change the wave count to a probable “wave 3” if the chartist decides it is reasonable or “logical” to do so. The Alt10 is similar to Alt1 in that both affect waves 3 and 5. However, Alt10 is less strict than Alt1 so it can often change the wave 5 to a wave 3 in the majority of situations. If Alt10 is enabled, it may be a good idea to ensure that the elliott wave addendum indicator is set to display an ABC wave count (instead of the 123) within the settings.
In certain circumstances where there are volatile conditions and charts, it is possible that the elliott wave indicator may show an “unusual” wave count. For example, it is possible that the positions of certain wave counts (such as waves 1, 2, 3 and 5) may be in the “wrong” order. This happens rarely so it is not an issue that happens very often. However, if this issue occurs, the chartist can rectify the matter by first increasing the lookback period (e.g. to 300) to see if this resolves the issue. If it does not, then Alt9 “temporary wave shift” in the elliott wave addendum can be enabled as this can usually resolve the issue and show the wave counts in a “proper” manner. Changing to a slightly lower timeframe can also usually resolve this issue. If Alt9 is enabled, care should be taken to unselect this option at a later date (as it is only a temporary solution).
The aggressive wave count setting (called “Aggressive 123”) is mainly for the addendum of the elliott wave indicator (i.e. EW addendum). Enabling this option can often change the wave count from an ABC to a 123 provided this is permitted by the parameters of the indicator. This option as well as others are included for further flexibility in the wave count.
The user can also choose to enable the zigzags of the waves to be shown on the chart. This can display the minor and major wave structures and zigzags, if enabled. By default it is set to off. It may also be a good idea to reset the settings of the indicators whenever a new chart or timeframe is chosen. This then refreshes the settings back to its default.
It is important to appreciate that the elliott wave indicator generally requires between 1,500 to 2000 bars of data on the chart in order to display the wave counts adequately and appropriately. So if a chart or timeframe has less than the minimum number of historical data or bars on the chart, the wave counts may not display properly or not appear at all. Certain chart symbols and timeframes (such as the monthly timeframe) may have very limited amount of data on them. Therefore, the elliott wave indicator will likely not appear on these charts or may not display properly. In these situations, a different chart symbol or a lower timeframe with more data on it can be chosen. For example, instead of a monthly timeframe, a weekly or daily timeframe can be chosen.
As mentioned, the elliott wave indicator is programmed to look for and identify potential trending patterns (as well as corrective patterns). In this sense, we are looking to simplify elliott wave theory by taking a more flexible and common-sense approach to the wave patterns. So if the price action has broken key levels of support or resistance, momentum is increasing and price is moving deliberately in a specific direction, it becomes more likely that price is in a trending environment (rather than just a correction).
If the main elliott wave indicator (i.e. LT Elliott Waves) is showing a probable wave 3, and price begins to pullback or move in the opposite direction to the main trend of the wave 3, the EW addendum may be used to display the probable ABC wave counts. These ABC wave counts could be for the likely wave 4 correction. However, if price starts to break key support levels (e.g. after an uptrend) and then reverse lower in the opposite direction (to the mentioned wave 3), then it is likely that the main indicator will change the wave count from a wave 3 to a wave 5. This can indicate that the main uptrend may have probably ended and that we are in either a large correction or a trend reversal, as shown by the EW addendum. This example can also apply in reverse for downtrends e.g. if price starts to break resistance levels and move higher after a downtrend.
We have allowed for further flexibility in the main elliott wave indicator i.e. LT Elliott Waves (and the EW addendum) so that the user can change the wave counts, if required. For example, the chartist can change the wave count from a probable wave 5 to a potential wave 3 – or a probable 123 to ABC (or vice versa) if they choose to do so. Further explanation and information is provided in the description for EW addendum. The position of the wave counts can be changed as well to a reasonable degree.
The chartist can apply other methods of chart analysis – such as trendline breaks, oscillators, regression channels, breaks of support/resistance – to determine when a probable wave (or wave count) has likely completed. For example, technical analysis methods such as trendline breaks and support/resistance breaks can be used by the chartist to determine the probability of whether wave 4 has potentially completed or not. In an uptrend, confirmation that a probable wave such as wave 4 has completed will not come until price has taken out the highs prior to the decline (i.e. the highs before the pullback in the probable “wave 4” correction). The same applies in reverse for a downtrend: confirmation that the probable wave 4 has completed will not come until price has taken out the lows prior to the rally (in a probable wave 4 correction).
It should be remembered that the appearance of the most recent wave counts (or wave labels) shown by the indicator, by themselves do NOT mean that the specific waves in question have definitely completed or finished. Nothing in chart analysis is certain or definite. The wave label itself is simply an indication that the most recent wave is probably still in progress, not necessarily that it has completed. Chartists can apply other technical analysis tools and methods (e.g. trend lines, support/resistance breaks, moving averages and regression channels etc.) to increase the probability of when a specific wave has probably completed. The same also applies to past or “completed” wave counts (or past wave labels): they do NOT mean that the specific waves have definitely completed or finished – it is merely a possibility or probability. So the risk always exists that the wave counts may potentially be wrong, and that an alternative wave count interpretation may exist.
Price action, markets and their charts are non-linear and chaotic, which means that they are subject to uncertainty, variable change and being unpredictable in nature. So we must maintain a probabilistic mindset and attitude to technical analysis. Nothing is certain. Therefore, no wave count is certain or “set in stone”. Wave counts, just like the actions and emotions of human beings, are subject to change. Elliott Wave theory, just like all of technical analysis is about what is possible, what is probable and what the risks are of a particular outcome. The advantage of elliott wave theory, as explained previously, is about gaining an understanding of context and the likely big picture. The indicator is provided in good faith but we do not vouch for its accuracy.
As mentioned previously, chartists should be aware of the probabilistic and uncertain nature of price action and the markets, and therefore prepare to limit and control any potential risks.
The indicator can be used on the charts of the majority of markets (e.g. stocks, indices, ETFs, currencies, cryptocurrencies, precious metals, commodities etc.) and any timeframe. Nothing in this indicator, its signals or labels should be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell any market (e.g. stocks, securities, indices, ETFs, currencies, cryptocurrencies, metals, commodities etc.). The indicator is provided solely for educational purposes, to gain a better understanding of technical analysis and elliott wave theory. It should be noted that the degree of noise and randomness increases significantly on lower timeframes. So the lower the timeframe that is chosen (e.g. 15-min or lower) the greater the degree of noise and randomness and therefore the higher the frequency of false signals or whipsaws. The indicator can be applied to candlestick charts and bar charts.

Adaptive Elliott Wave Probability with Time Analysis
Purpose
The indicator helps traders identify and analyze Elliott Wave Probabiliy, dynamically adjusting its sensitivity based on market conditions. By using time intervals between directional changes and validating wave patterns, it provides insights into market trends and their likelihood of continuation.
Configuration
The script includes configurable inputs for the user to adjust:
The sensitivity of wave detection using a zigzag percentage range.
The length of pivots to define significant price movements.
Incremental adjustments to refine wave detection dynamically.
Core Variables
The script uses various variables to store and analyze market data:
Adaptive zigzag percentages start from a baseline and adjust dynamically to reflect changing market conditions.
Time intervals and bar indices are recorded to calculate the duration between directional changes.
Likelihood values are assigned to uptrends and downtrends, normalized for comparison.
Wave Detection
The script detects directional changes in price by identifying pivot highs and lows:
A pivot high is a local peak in the price chart, while a pivot low is a local trough.
Once a directional change is identified, the time interval since the last change is calculated and stored for further analysis.
Wave Validation
The script validates wave patterns using predefined rules. For example:
A valid wave may require that each subsequent time interval in a sequence is greater than the previous one.
This ensures that detected waves adhere to a logical progression, reflecting realistic market movements.
Adaptive Logic
The zigzag percentage adjusts dynamically based on the time intervals between directional changes. This allows the indicator to adapt to different market conditions, ensuring it remains effective during both high and low volatility periods.
Likelihood Calculation
This is calculated by identifying all of the current valid/verified waves in every every zigzag percentage and express the ratio as a percentage/probability
These likelihoods are normalized to ensure they sum to 100%, allowing for direct comparison.
The values are visually plotted on the indicator panel for clarity.
Visualization
The indicator plots:
Uptrend likelihood as a green line.
Downtrend likelihood as a red line.
These plots provide a visual representation of market trends and their potential continuation, helping traders make informed decisions.
Summary
This Adaptive Elliott Wave Indicator provides a robust tool for analyzing market trends and patterns. By dynamically adjusting its parameters and validating wave patterns, it adapts to changing market conditions and provides actionable insights into the likelihood of future price movements. Its visual outputs make it an accessible and effective tool for traders seeking to incorporate Elliott Wave theory into their strategies

MTP Elliott WavesThe MTP Elliott Waves script allows you to place an Elliott Wave count on your chart at a specific Pivot point. The script uses our unique “Isolation Approach” to Elliott Wave analysis, which has been used in our MTPredictor software since 2001. The Elliott Wave counts include the WPT (Wave Price Target) zones, where the wave found is likely to end. WPT zones are Fibonacci Price clusters that are specific to the wave in question. The Script will find Waves, 2, 3, 4, 5 as well as the simple abc correction. The Script only focus on one Wave count with no alternate counts or X-waves or other complex corrections. We do this to keep things simple and uncluttered. The Wave count will only display on the chart if a valid count is found at the Pivot chosen.
This is designed to be used in conjunction with the MTP Swings Pivots, which are included in the MTP Analysis Script. Please refer to this script for more information on the MTP Swing Pivots. The user has several options (Pivot Number, Last Pivot, Pivots Back or Bar Number) on how to choose the Pivot to display the Elliott Wave count from.
There is a risk in Trading and Investing. Losses can and will unfold.
The script is available as an “invite-only” script, as part of the MTPredictor suite of tools on Trading View.

True Williams Alligator (Timeframe Multiplier)Modified version of the true alligator indicator (ie SMMA) that features a timeframe multiplier so that you can monitor the elliott wave of higher timeframes. (See original "True Williams Alligator" for more details.)
Note: First script submission. Didn't mean to use this chart. Also this is a duplicate post -- oops.
True Williams Alligator (SMMA)The built-in implementation of the alligator is incorrect. It uses SMA with altered input parameters to approximate the true alligator indicator.
The alligator was created with a supercomputer to model the elliott wave - it's very apart from other MA techniques. The built-in approximation (and similar techniques) and the true alligator yield very different conclusions. Hence the need for this, a true and exact implementation of "The Mighty Alligator" (Bill Williams, Trading Chaos 1, New Trading Dimensions, Trading Chaos 2).
Note: First script submission. Didn't mean to use this chart. Ugly and messy. Oops.

Elliott Wave Identification By Akash Patel
This script is designed to visually highlight areas on the chart where there are consecutive bullish (green) or bearish (red) candles. It also identifies sequences of three consecutive candles of the same type (bullish or bearish) and highlights those areas with adjustable box opacity. Here's a breakdown of the functionality:
---
### Key Features:
1. **Bullish & Bearish Candle Identification:**
- **Bullish Candle:** When the closing price is higher than the opening price (`close > open`).
- **Bearish Candle:** When the closing price is lower than the opening price (`close < open`).
2. **Consecutive Candle Counter:**
- The script counts consecutive bullish and bearish candles, which resets when the direction changes (from bullish to bearish or vice versa).
- The script tracks these counts using the `bullishCount` and `bearishCount` variables, which are incremented based on whether the current candle is bullish or bearish.
3. **Highlighting Candle Areas:**
- If there are **3 or more consecutive bullish candles**, the script will highlight the background in a green color with 90% transparency (adjustable).
- Similarly, if there are **3 or more consecutive bearish candles**, the script will highlight the background in a red color with 90% transparency (adjustable).
4. **Three-Candle Sequence:**
- The script checks if there are three consecutive bullish candles (`threeBullish`) or three consecutive bearish candles (`threeBearish`).
- A box is drawn around these areas to visually highlight the sequence. The boxes extend to the right edge of the chart, and their opacity can be adjusted.
5. **Box Creation:**
- For bullish sequences, a green box is created using the high and low prices of the three candles in the sequence.
- For bearish sequences, a red box is created in the same manner.
- The box size is determined by the highest high and the lowest low of the three consecutive candles.
6. **Box Opacity:**
- You can adjust the opacity of the boxes through the input parameters `Bullish Box Opacity` and `Bearish Box Opacity` (ranging from 0 to 100).
- A higher opacity will make the boxes more solid, while a lower opacity will make them more transparent.
7. **Box Cleanup:**
- The script also includes logic to remove boxes when they are no longer needed, ensuring the chart remains clean without excessive box overlays.
8. **Extending Boxes to the Right:**
- When a bullish or bearish sequence is identified, the boxes are extended to the right edge of the chart for continued visibility.
---
### How It Works:
- **Bullish Area Highlight:** When three or more consecutive bullish candles are detected, the background will turn green to indicate a strong bullish trend.
- **Bearish Area Highlight:** When three or more consecutive bearish candles are detected, the background will turn red to indicate a strong bearish trend.
- **Three Consecutive Candle Box:** A green box will appear around three consecutive bullish candles, and a red box will appear around three consecutive bearish candles. These boxes can be extended to the right edge of the chart, making the sequence visually clear.
---
### Adjustable Parameters:
1. **Bullish Box Opacity:** Set the opacity (transparency) level of the bullish boxes. Ranges from 0 (completely transparent) to 100 (completely opaque).
2. **Bearish Box Opacity:** Set the opacity (transparency) level of the bearish boxes. Ranges from 0 (completely transparent) to 100 (completely opaque).
---
This indicator is useful for identifying strong trends and visually confirming market momentum, especially in situations where you want to spot sequences of bullish or bearish candles over multiple bars. It can be customized to suit different trading styles and chart preferences by adjusting the opacity of the boxes and background highlights.

Descending Elliot Wave Patterns [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically draws descending Elliot Wave patterns and price projections derived from the ranges that constitute the patterns.
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a close price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a close price that is lower than the price it opened.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Peak and Trough Prices (Basic)
• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Range
The range is simply the difference between the current peak and current trough prices, generally expressed in terms of points or pips.
Support and Resistance
• Support refers to a price level where the demand for an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further.
• Resistance refers to a price level where the supply of an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further.
Support and resistance levels are important because they can help traders identify where the price of an asset might pause or reverse its direction, offering potential entry and exit points. For example, a trader might look to buy an asset when it approaches a support level , with the expectation that the price will bounce back up. Alternatively, a trader might look to sell an asset when it approaches a resistance level , with the expectation that the price will drop back down.
It's important to note that support and resistance levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also break through these levels and continue moving in the same direction.
Upper Trends
• A return line uptrend is formed when the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price.
• A double-top is formed when the current peak price is equal to the preceding peak price.
Lower Trends
• An uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price.
• A return line downtrend is formed when the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
• A double-bottom is formed when the current trough price is equal to the preceding trough price.
Muti-Part Upper and Lower Trends
• A multi-part return line uptrend begins with the formation of a new return line uptrend, or higher peak, and continues until a new downtrend, or lower peak, completes the trend.
• A multi-part downtrend begins with the formation of a new downtrend, or lower peak, and continues until a new return line uptrend, or higher peak, completes the trend.
• A multi-part uptrend begins with the formation of a new uptrend, or higher trough, and continues until a new return line downtrend, or lower trough, completes the trend.
• A multi-part return line downtrend begins with the formation of a new return line downtrend, or lower trough, and continues until a new uptrend, or higher trough, completes the trend.
Double Trends
• A double uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price and the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A double downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price and the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
Muti-Part Double Trends
• A multi-part double uptrend begins with the formation of a new uptrend that proceeds a new return line uptrend, and continues until a new downtrend or return line downtrend ends the trend.
• A multi-part double downtrend begins with the formation of a new downtrend that proceeds a new return line downtrend, and continues until a new uptrend or return line uptrend ends the trend.
Wave Cycles
A wave cycle is here defined as a complete two-part move between a swing high and a swing low, or a swing low and a swing high. The first swing high or swing low will set the course for the sequence of wave cycles that follow; for example a chart that begins with a swing low will form its first complete wave cycle upon the formation of the first complete swing high and vice versa.

Fibonacci Retracement and Extension Ratios
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers, starting with 0 and 1. For example 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, and so on. Ultimately, we could go on forever but the first few numbers in the sequence are as follows: 0 , 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.
The extension ratios are calculated by dividing each number in the sequence by the number preceding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 2/1 = 2, 3/2 = 1.5, 5/3 = 1.6666..., 8/5 = 1.6, 13/8 = 1.625, 21/13 = 1.6153..., 34/21 = 1.6190..., 55/34 = 1.6176..., 89/55 = 1.6181..., 144/89 = 1.6179..., and so on. The retracement ratios are calculated by inverting this process and dividing each number in the sequence by the number proceeding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 1/2 = 0.5, 2/3 = 0.666..., 3/5 = 0.6, 5/8 = 0.625, 8/13 = 0.6153..., 13/21 = 0.6190..., 21/34 = 0.6176..., 34/55 = 0.6181..., 55/89 = 0.6179..., 89/144 = 0.6180..., and so on.
1.618 is considered to be the 'golden ratio', found in many natural phenomena such as the growth of seashells and the branching of trees. Some now speculate the universe oscillates at a frequency of 0,618 Hz, which could help to explain such phenomena, but this theory has yet to be proven.
Traders and analysts use Fibonacci retracement and extension indicators, consisting of horizontal lines representing different Fibonacci ratios, for identifying potential levels of support and resistance. Fibonacci ranges are typically drawn from left to right, with retracement levels representing ratios inside of the current range and extension levels representing ratios extended outside of the current range. If the current wave cycle ends on a swing low, the Fibonacci range is drawn from peak to trough. If the current wave cycle ends on a swing high the Fibonacci range is drawn from trough to peak.
Elliot Wave Patterns
Ralph Nelson Elliott, authored his book on Elliott wave theory titled "The Wave Principle" in 1938. In this book, Elliott presented his theory of market behaviour, which he believed reflected the natural laws that govern human behaviour.
The Elliott Wave Theory is based on the principle that waves have a tendency to unfold in a specific sequence of five waves in the direction of the trend, followed by three waves leading in the opposite direction. This pattern is called a 5-3 wave pattern and is the foundation of Elliott's theory.
The five waves in the direction of the trend are labelled 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, while the three waves in the opposite direction are labelled A, B, and C. Waves 1, 3, and 5 are impulse waves, while waves 2 and 4 are corrective waves. Waves A and C are also corrective waves, while wave B is an impulse wave.
According to Elliott, the pattern of waves is fractal in nature, meaning that it occurs on all time frames, from the smallest to the largest.
In Elliott Wave Theory, the distance that waves move from each other depends on the specific market conditions and the amplitude of the waves involved. There is no fixed rule or limit for how far waves should move from each other, however, there are several guidelines to help identify and measure wave distances. One of the most common guidelines is the Fibonacci ratios, which can be used to describe the relationships between wave lengths. For example, Elliott identified that wave 3 is typically the strongest and longest wave, and it tends to be 1.618 times the length of wave 1. Meanwhile, wave 2 tends to retrace between 50% and 78.6% of wave 1, and wave 4 tends to retrace between 38.2% and 78.6% of wave 3.
In general, the patterns are quite rare and the distances that the waves move in relation to one another is subject to interpretation. For such reasons, I have simply included the ratios of the current ranges as ratios of the preceding ranges in the wave labels and it will, ultimately, be up to the user to decide whether or not the patterns qualify as valid.

█ LIMITATIONS
All green and red candle calculations are based on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. This may cause some unexpected behaviour on some markets and timeframes. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with.
Ascending Elliot Wave Patterns [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically draws ascending Elliot Wave patterns and price projections derived from the ranges that constitute the patterns.
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a close price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a close price that is lower than the price it opened.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Peak and Trough Prices (Basic)
• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Range
The range is simply the difference between the current peak and current trough prices, generally expressed in terms of points or pips.
Support and Resistance
• Support refers to a price level where the demand for an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further.
• Resistance refers to a price level where the supply of an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further.
Support and resistance levels are important because they can help traders identify where the price of an asset might pause or reverse its direction, offering potential entry and exit points. For example, a trader might look to buy an asset when it approaches a support level , with the expectation that the price will bounce back up. Alternatively, a trader might look to sell an asset when it approaches a resistance level , with the expectation that the price will drop back down.
It's important to note that support and resistance levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also break through these levels and continue moving in the same direction.
Upper Trends
• A return line uptrend is formed when the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price.
• A double-top is formed when the current peak price is equal to the preceding peak price.
Lower Trends
• An uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price.
• A return line downtrend is formed when the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
• A double-bottom is formed when the current trough price is equal to the preceding trough price.
Muti-Part Upper and Lower Trends
• A multi-part return line uptrend begins with the formation of a new return line uptrend, or higher peak, and continues until a new downtrend, or lower peak, completes the trend.
• A multi-part downtrend begins with the formation of a new downtrend, or lower peak, and continues until a new return line uptrend, or higher peak, completes the trend.
• A multi-part uptrend begins with the formation of a new uptrend, or higher trough, and continues until a new return line downtrend, or lower trough, completes the trend.
• A multi-part return line downtrend begins with the formation of a new return line downtrend, or lower trough, and continues until a new uptrend, or higher trough, completes the trend.
Double Trends
• A double uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price and the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A double downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price and the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
Muti-Part Double Trends
• A multi-part double uptrend begins with the formation of a new uptrend that proceeds a new return line uptrend, and continues until a new downtrend or return line downtrend ends the trend.
• A multi-part double downtrend begins with the formation of a new downtrend that proceeds a new return line downtrend, and continues until a new uptrend or return line uptrend ends the trend.
Wave Cycles
A wave cycle is here defined as a complete two-part move between a swing high and a swing low, or a swing low and a swing high. The first swing high or swing low will set the course for the sequence of wave cycles that follow; for example a chart that begins with a swing low will form its first complete wave cycle upon the formation of the first complete swing high and vice versa.

Fibonacci Retracement and Extension Ratios
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers, starting with 0 and 1. For example 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, and so on. Ultimately, we could go on forever but the first few numbers in the sequence are as follows: 0 , 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.
The extension ratios are calculated by dividing each number in the sequence by the number preceding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 2/1 = 2, 3/2 = 1.5, 5/3 = 1.6666..., 8/5 = 1.6, 13/8 = 1.625, 21/13 = 1.6153..., 34/21 = 1.6190..., 55/34 = 1.6176..., 89/55 = 1.6181..., 144/89 = 1.6179..., and so on. The retracement ratios are calculated by inverting this process and dividing each number in the sequence by the number proceeding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 1/2 = 0.5, 2/3 = 0.666..., 3/5 = 0.6, 5/8 = 0.625, 8/13 = 0.6153..., 13/21 = 0.6190..., 21/34 = 0.6176..., 34/55 = 0.6181..., 55/89 = 0.6179..., 89/144 = 0.6180..., and so on.

Major Features:
Trend Cloud:
Working Principle:
The script utilizes the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to assess market momentum, identifying bullish and bearish phases based on RSI readings. It calculates two boolean variables, bullmove and bearmove, which signal shifts in momentum direction by considering changes in the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the closing price. When RSI indicates bullish momentum and the closing price's EMA exhibits positive changes, bullmove is triggered, signifying the start of a bullish phase. Conversely, when RSI suggests bearish momentum and the closing price's EMA shows negative changes, bearmove is activated, marking the beginning of a bearish phase. This systematic approach helps in understanding the current trend of the price. The script visually emphasizes these phases on the chart using plot shape markers, providing traders with clear indications of trend shifts.
Benefits of Using Trend Cloud:
Comprehensive Momentum Assessment: The script offers a holistic view of market momentum by incorporating RSI readings and changes in the closing price's EMA, enabling traders to identify both bullish and bearish phases effectively.
Structured Trend Recognition: With the calculation of boolean variables, the script provides a structured approach to recognizing shifts in momentum direction, enhancing traders' ability to interpret market dynamics.
Visual Clarity: Plotshape markers visually highlight the start and end of bullish and bearish phases on the chart, facilitating easy identification of trend shifts and helping traders to stay informed.
Prompt Response: Traders can promptly react to changing market conditions as the script triggers alerts when bullish or bearish phases begin, allowing them to seize potential trading opportunities swiftly.
Informed Decision-Making: By integrating various indicators and visual cues, the script enables traders to make well-informed decisions and adapt their strategies according to prevailing market sentiment, ultimately enhancing their trading performance.
How to use this feature:
The most effective way to maximize the benefits of this feature is to use it in conjunction with other key indicators and visual cues. By combining the color-coded clouds, which indicate bullish and bearish sentiment, with other features such as IS candles, microtrend candles, volume candles, and sentimeter candles, traders can gain a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics. For instance, aligning the color of the clouds with the trend direction indicated by IS candles, microtrend candles, and sentimeter candles can provide confirmation of trend strength or potential reversals.
Furthermore, traders can leverage the trend cloud as a trailing stop-loss tool for long entries, enhancing risk management strategies. By adjusting the stop-loss level based on the color of the cloud, traders can trail their positions to capture potential profits while minimizing losses. For long entries, maintaining the position as long as the cloud remains green can help traders stay aligned with the prevailing bullish sentiment. Conversely, a shift in color from green to red serves as a signal to exit the position, indicating a potential reversal in market sentiment and minimizing potential losses. This integration of the trend cloud as a trailing stop-loss mechanism adds an additional layer of risk management to trading strategies, increasing the likelihood of successful trades while reducing exposure to adverse market movements.
Moreover, the red cloud serves as an indicator of decay in option premiums and potential theta effect, particularly relevant for options traders. When the cloud turns red, it suggests a decline in option prices and an increase in theta decay, highlighting the importance of managing options positions accordingly. Traders may consider adjusting their options strategies, such as rolling positions or closing out contracts, to mitigate the impact of theta decay and preserve capital. By incorporating this insight into options pricing dynamics, traders can make more informed decisions about their options trades.
Scalping Cloud:
The scalping cloud serves as a specialized component within the trend cloud feature, specifically designed to pinpoint potential long and short entry points within the overarching trend cloud. Here's how it works:
Trend Identification: The trend cloud feature typically highlights the prevailing trend direction based on various technical indicators, price action, or other criteria. It visually represents the momentum and direction of the market over a given period.
Refined Entry Signals: Within this broader trend context, the scalping cloud narrows its focus to identify shorter-term trading opportunities. It does this by analyzing more granular price movements and shorter timeframes, seeking out potential entry points that align with the larger trend.
Long and Short Entries: The scalping cloud distinguishes between potential long (buy) and short (sell) entry opportunities within the trend cloud. For instance, within an uptrend indicated by the trend cloud, the scalping cloud might identify brief retracements or pullbacks as potential long entry points. Conversely, in a downtrend, it may signal short entry opportunities during temporary upward corrections.
Risk Management: By identifying potential entry points within the context of the trend, the scalping cloud also aids in risk management. Traders can use these signals to place stop-loss orders and manage their positions effectively, reducing the risk of adverse price movements.
The scalping cloud operates by analyzing the crossover and crossunder events between two key indicators: the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) and a Weighted Average. Here's how it works:
Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA): DEMA is a type of moving average that seeks to reduce lag by applying a double smoothing technique to price data. It responds more quickly to price changes compared to traditional moving averages, making it suitable for identifying short-term trends and potential trading opportunities.
Weighted Average: The weighted average calculates the average price of an asset over a specified period. However, it incorporates a weighting scheme that assigns more significance to recent price data, resulting in a more responsive indicator that closely tracks current market trends.
CE and NO CE Signals:
CE signals typically represent a Long Scalping Opportunity, suggesting that conditions are favorable for entering a long position. These signals indicate a strong upward momentum in the market, which traders can exploit for short-term gains through scalping strategies.
On the other hand, when there are no CE signals present, it doesn't necessarily mean that the trend has reversed or turned bearish. Instead, it indicates that the trend is still bullish, but the market is experiencing an active pullback. During a pullback, prices may temporarily retreat from recent highs as traders take profits or reevaluate their positions. While the overall trend remains upward, the pullback introduces a degree of uncertainty, making it less favorable for entering new long positions.
In such a scenario, traders may opt to exercise caution and refrain from entering new long positions until the pullback phase has concluded. Instead, they might consider waiting for confirmation signals, such as the resumption of CE signals or other bullish indications, before reengaging in long positions.
PE and NO PE Signals:
PE signals typically indicate a Short Entry opportunity, signaling that market conditions are conducive to entering a short position.
Conversely, when there are no PE signals present, it signifies that while the trend remains bearish, the market is currently in an active phase of consolidation or pullback. During such periods, prices may temporarily rise from recent lows, reflecting a pause in the downward momentum. While the overall trend remains downward, the absence of PE signals suggests that it may not be an optimal time to enter new short positions.
In this context, traders may exercise caution and wait for clearer signals before initiating new short positions. They might monitor the market closely for signs of a resumption in bearish momentum, such as the emergence of PE signals or other bearish indications. Alternatively, traders may choose to wait on the sidelines until market conditions stabilize or provide clearer directional signals.
Working Principle Of CE and PE Signals:
The feature calculates candlestick values based on the open, high, low, and close prices of each bar. By comparing these derived candlestick values, it determines whether the current candlestick is bullish or bearish. Additionally, it signals when there is a change in the color (bullish or bearish) of the derived candlesticks compared to the previous bar, enabling traders to identify potential shifts in market sentiment.
Micro Trend Candles:
Working Principle:
This feature begins by initializing variables to determine trend channel width and track price movements. Average True Range (ATR) is then calculated to measure market volatility, influencing the channel's size. Highs and lows are identified within a specified range, and trends are assessed based on price breaches, with potential changes signaled accordingly. The price channel is continually updated to adapt to market shifts, and arrows are placed to indicate potential entry points. Colors are assigned to represent bullish and bearish trends, dynamically adjusting based on current market conditions. Finally, candles on the chart are colored to visually depict the identified micro trend, offering traders an intuitive way to interpret market sentiment and potential entry opportunities.
Benefits of using Micro Trend Candles:
Traders can use these identified micro trends to spot potential short-term trading opportunities. For example:
Trend Following: Traders may decide to enter trades aligned with the prevailing micro trend. If the candles are consistently colored in a certain direction, traders may consider entering positions in that direction.
Reversals: Conversely, if the script signals a potential reversal by changing the candle colors, traders may anticipate trend reversals and adjust their trading strategies accordingly. For instance, they might close existing positions or enter new positions in anticipation of a trend reversal.
It's important to note that these micro trends are short-term in nature and may not always align with broader market trends. Therefore, traders utilizing this script should consider their trading timeframes and adjust their strategies accordingly.
How to use this feature:
This feature assigns colors to candles to represent bullish and bearish trends, with adjustments made based on current market conditions. Green candles accompanied by a green trend cloud signal a potential long entry, while red candles suggest caution, indicating a bearish trend. This visual representation allows traders to interpret market sentiment intuitively, identifying optimal entry points and exercising caution during potential downtrends.
Scalping Candles (Inspired by Elliott Wave and Open Interest Concepts):
Working Principle:
This feature draws inspiration from the Elliot Wave method, utilizing technical analysis techniques to discern potential market trends and sentiment shifts. It begins by calculating the variance between two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) of closing prices, mimicking Elliot Wave's focus on wave and trend analysis. The shorter-term EMA captures immediate price momentum, while the longer-term EMA reflects broader market trends. A smoother Exponential Moving Average (EMA) line, derived from the difference between these EMAs, aids in identifying short-term trend shifts or momentum reversals.
Benefits of using Scalping Candles Inspired by Elliott Wave:
The Elliott Wave principle is a form of technical analysis that attempts to predict future price movements by identifying patterns in market charts. It suggests that markets move in repetitive waves or cycles, and traders can potentially profit by recognizing these patterns.
While this script does not explicitly analyze Elliot Wave patterns, it is inspired by the principle's emphasis on trend analysis and market sentiment. By calculating and visualizing the difference between EMAs and assigning colors to candles based on this analysis, the script aims to provide traders with insights into potential market sentiment shifts, which can align with the broader philosophy of Elliott Wave analysis.
How to use this feature:
Candlestick colors are assigned based on the relationship between the EMA line and the variance. When the variance is below or equal to the EMA line, candles are colored red, suggesting a bearish sentiment. Conversely, when the variance is above the EMA line, candles are tinted green, indicating a bullish outlook. Though not explicitly analyzing Elliot Wave patterns, the script aligns with its principles of trend analysis and market sentiment interpretation. By offering visual cues on sentiment shifts, it provides traders with insights into potential trading opportunities, echoing Elliot Wave's emphasis on pattern recognition and trend analysis.
Chart Timeframe Support and Resistance:
Working Principle:
This feature serves to identify and visualize support and resistance levels on the chart, primarily based on the chosen Chart Timeframe (CTF). It allows users to specify parameters such as the number of bars considered on the left and right sides of each pivot point, as well as line width and label color. Moreover, users have the option to enable or disable the display of these levels. By utilizing functions to calculate pivot highs and lows within the specified timeframe, the script determines the highest high and lowest low surrounding each pivot point.
Additionally, it defines functions to create lines and labels for each detected support and resistance level. Notably, this feature incorporates a trading method that emphasizes the concept of resistance turning into support after breakouts, thereby providing valuable insights for traders employing such strategies. These lines are drawn on the chart, with colors indicating whether the level is above or below the current close price, aiding traders in visualizing key levels and making informed trading decisions.
Benefits of Chart Timeframe Support and Resistance:
Identification of Price Levels: Support and resistance levels help traders identify significant price levels where buying (support) and selling (resistance) pressure may intensify. These levels are often formed based on historical price movements and are regarded as areas of interest for traders.
Decision Making: Support and resistance levels assist traders in making informed trading decisions. By observing price reactions near these levels, traders can gauge market sentiment and adjust their strategies accordingly. For example, traders may choose to enter or exit positions, set stop-loss orders, or take profit targets based on price behavior around these levels.
Risk Management: Support and resistance levels aid in risk management by providing reference points for setting stop-loss orders. Traders often place stop-loss orders below support levels for long positions and above resistance levels for short positions to limit potential losses if the market moves against them.
How to use this feature:
Planning Long Positions: When considering long positions, it's advantageous to strategize when the price is in proximity to a support level identified by the script. This suggests a potential area of buying interest where traders may expect a bounce or reversal in price. Additionally, confirm the bullish bias by ensuring that the trend cloud is green, indicating favorable market conditions for long trades.
Waiting for Breakout: If long signals are generated near resistance levels detected by the script, exercise patience and wait for a breakout above the resistance. A breakout above resistance signifies potential strength in the upward momentum and may present a more opportune moment to enter long positions. This approach aligns with trading methodologies that emphasize confirmation of bullish momentum before initiating trades.
StopLoss and Target Lines:
In addition to generating entry signals, this indicator also incorporates predefined stop-loss ray lines and configurable risk-reward (R:R) target lines to enhance risk management and profit-taking strategies. Here's how these features work:
Predefined Stop-loss Ray Lines: The indicator automatically plots stop-loss ray lines on the chart, serving as visual guidelines for setting stop-loss levels. These stop-loss lines are predetermined based on specific criteria, such as volatility levels, support and resistance zones, or predefined risk parameters. Traders can use these lines as reference points to place their stop-loss orders, aiming to limit potential losses if the market moves against their position.
Configurable Risk-Reward (R:R) Target Lines: In addition to stop-loss lines, the indicator allows traders to set configurable risk-reward (R:R) target lines on the chart. These target lines represent predefined price levels where traders intend to take profits based on their desired risk-reward ratio. By adjusting the placement of these lines, traders can customize their risk-reward ratios according to their trading preferences and risk tolerance.
Risk Management: The predefined stop-loss ray lines help traders manage risk by providing clear exit points if the trade goes against their expectations. By adhering to these predetermined stop-loss levels, traders can minimize potential losses and protect their trading capital, thereby enhancing overall risk management.
Profit-taking Strategy: On the other hand, the configurable R:R target lines assist traders in establishing profit-taking strategies. By setting target levels based on their desired risk-reward ratio, traders can aim to capture profits at predefined price levels that offer favorable risk-reward profiles. This allows traders to systematically take profits while ensuring that potential gains outweigh potential losses over the long term.
The stop-loss and target lines incorporated in this indicator are dynamic in nature, providing traders with the flexibility to utilize them as trailing stop-loss and extended take-profit targets. Here's how these dynamic features work:
Trailing Stop-loss: Traders can employ the stop-loss lines as trailing stop-loss levels, allowing them to adjust their stop-loss orders as the market moves in their favor. As the price continues to move in the desired direction, indicator can dynamically adjust the stop-loss line to lock in profits while still allowing room for potential further gains. This trailing stop-loss mechanism helps traders secure profits while allowing their winning trades to continue running as long as the market remains favorable.
Extended Take Profit Targets: Similarly, traders can utilize the target lines as extended take-profit targets, enabling them to capture additional profits beyond their initial profit targets. By adjusting the placement of these target lines based on evolving market conditions or technical signals, traders can extend their profit-taking strategy to capitalize on potential price extensions or trend continuations. This flexibility allows traders to maximize their profit potential by capturing larger price movements while managing their risk effectively.
Rangebound Bars:
When the Rangebound Bars feature is enabled, the indicator represents candles in a distinct purple color to visually denote periods of sideways or range-bound price action. This visual cue helps traders easily identify when the market is consolidating and lacking clear directional momentum. Here's how it works:
Purple Candle Color: When the Rangebound Bars feature is active, the indicator displays candlesticks in a purple color to highlight periods of sideways price movement. This color differentiation stands out against the usual colors used for bullish (e.g., green or white) and bearish (e.g., red or black) candles, making it easier for traders to recognize range-bound conditions at a glance.
Signaling Sideways Price Action: The purple coloration of candles indicates that price movements are confined within a relatively narrow range and lack a clear upward or downward trend. This may occur when the market is consolidating, experiencing indecision, or undergoing a period of accumulation or distribution.
Working Principle:
The Rangebound Bars feature of this indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying and navigating consolidating market conditions, where price movements are confined within a relatively narrow range. This feature utilizes Pivot levels and the Average True Range (ATR) concept to determine when the market is range-bound and provides signals to stay out of such price action. Here's how it works:
Pivot Levels: Pivot levels are key price levels derived from the previous period's high, low, and closing prices. They serve as potential support and resistance levels and are widely used by traders to identify significant price levels where price action may stall or reverse. The Rangebound Bars feature incorporates Pivot levels into its analysis to identify ranges where price tends to consolidate.
Average True Range (ATR): The Average True Range is a measure of market volatility that calculates the average range between the high and low prices over a specified period. It provides traders with insights into the level of price volatility and helps set appropriate stop-loss and take-profit levels. In the context of the Rangebound Bars feature, ATR is used to gauge the extent of price fluctuations within the identified range.
Luxmi AI Directional Option Buying (Long Only)Introduction:
"Option premium charts typically exhibit a predisposition towards bearish sentiment in higher timeframes"
In the dynamic world of options trading, navigating through the complexities of market trends and price movements is essential for making informed decisions. Among the arsenal of tools available to traders, option premium charts stand out as a pivotal source of insight, particularly in higher timeframes. However, their inherent bearish inclination in such timeframes necessitates a keen eye for identifying bullish pullbacks, especially in lower timeframes, to optimize buying strategies effectively.
Understanding the interplay between different data points becomes paramount in this endeavor. Traders embark on a journey of analysis, delving into metrics such as Implementation Shortfall, the performance of underlying index constituents, and bullish trends observed in lower timeframes like the 1-minute and 3-minute charts. These data points serve as guiding beacons, illuminating potential opportunities amidst the market's ever-shifting landscape.
Using this indicator, we will dissect the significance of option premium charts and their nuanced portrayal of market sentiment. Furthermore, we will unveil the art of discerning bullish pullbacks in lower timeframes, leveraging a multifaceted approach that amalgamates quantitative analysis with qualitative insights. Through this holistic perspective, traders can refine their decision-making processes, striving towards efficiency and efficacy in their options trading endeavors.
Major Features:
Implementation Shortfall (IS) Candles:
Working Principle:
TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) and EMA (Exponential Moving Average) are both commonly used in calculating Implementation Shortfall, a metric that measures the difference between the actual execution price of a trade and the benchmark price.
TWAP calculates the average price of a security over a specified time period, giving equal weight to each interval. On the other hand, EMA places more weight on recent prices, making it more responsive to current market conditions.
To calculate Implementation Shortfall using TWAP, the difference between the average execution price and the benchmark price is determined over the trading period. Similarly, with EMA, the difference is calculated using the exponential moving average price instead of a simple average.
By employing TWAP and EMA, traders can gauge the effectiveness of their trading strategies and identify areas for improvement in executing trades relative to a benchmark.
Benefits of using Implementation Shortfall:
By visualizing the implementation shortfall and its comparison with the EMA on the chart, traders can quickly assess whether current trading activity is deviating from recent trends.
Green bars suggest potential buying opportunities or bullish sentiment, while red bars suggest potential selling opportunities or bearish sentiment.
Traders can use this visualization to make more informed decisions about their trading strategies, such as adjusting position sizes, entering or exiting trades, or managing risk based on the observed deviations from the moving average.
How to use this feature:
This feature calculates Implementation Shortfall (IS) and visually represents it by coloring the candles in either bullish (green) or bearish (red) hues. This color-coding system provides traders with a quick and intuitive way to assess market sentiment and potential entry points. Specifically, a long entry is signaled when both the candle color and the trend cloud color align as green, indicating a bullish market outlook. This integrated approach enables traders to make informed decisions, leveraging IS insights alongside visual cues for more effective trading strategies.
Micro Trend Candles:
Working Principle:
This feature begins by initializing variables to determine trend channel width and track price movements. Average True Range (ATR) is then calculated to measure market volatility, influencing the channel's size. Highs and lows are identified within a specified range, and trends are assessed based on price breaches, with potential changes signaled accordingly. The price channel is continually updated to adapt to market shifts, and arrows are placed to indicate potential entry points. Colors are assigned to represent bullish and bearish trends, dynamically adjusting based on current market conditions. Finally, candles on the chart are colored to visually depict the identified micro trend, offering traders an intuitive way to interpret market sentiment and potential entry opportunities.
Benefits of using Micro Trend Candles:
Traders can use these identified micro trends to spot potential short-term trading opportunities. For example:
Trend Following: Traders may decide to enter trades aligned with the prevailing micro trend. If the candles are consistently colored in a certain direction, traders may consider entering positions in that direction.
Reversals: Conversely, if the script signals a potential reversal by changing the candle colors, traders may anticipate trend reversals and adjust their trading strategies accordingly. For instance, they might close existing positions or enter new positions in anticipation of a trend reversal.
It's important to note that these micro trends are short-term in nature and may not always align with broader market trends. Therefore, traders utilizing this script should consider their trading timeframes and adjust their strategies accordingly.
How to use this feature:
This feature assigns colors to candles to represent bullish and bearish trends, with adjustments made based on current market conditions. Green candles accompanied by a green trend cloud signal a potential long entry, while red candles suggest caution, indicating a bearish trend. This visual representation allows traders to interpret market sentiment intuitively, identifying optimal entry points and exercising caution during potential downtrends.
Scalping Candles (Inspired by Elliott Wave):
Working Principle:
This feature draws inspiration from the Elliot Wave method, utilizing technical analysis techniques to discern potential market trends and sentiment shifts. It begins by calculating the variance between two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) of closing prices, mimicking Elliot Wave's focus on wave and trend analysis. The shorter-term EMA captures immediate price momentum, while the longer-term EMA reflects broader market trends. A smoother Exponential Moving Average (EMA) line, derived from the difference between these EMAs, aids in identifying short-term trend shifts or momentum reversals.
Benefits of using Scalping Candles Inspired by Elliott Wave:
The Elliott Wave principle is a form of technical analysis that attempts to predict future price movements by identifying patterns in market charts. It suggests that markets move in repetitive waves or cycles, and traders can potentially profit by recognizing these patterns.
While this script does not explicitly analyze Elliot Wave patterns, it is inspired by the principle's emphasis on trend analysis and market sentiment. By calculating and visualizing the difference between EMAs and assigning colors to candles based on this analysis, the script aims to provide traders with insights into potential market sentiment shifts, which can align with the broader philosophy of Elliott Wave analysis.
How to use this feature:
Candlestick colors are assigned based on the relationship between the EMA line and the variance. When the variance is below or equal to the EMA line, candles are colored red, suggesting a bearish sentiment. Conversely, when the variance is above the EMA line, candles are tinted green, indicating a bullish outlook. Though not explicitly analyzing Elliot Wave patterns, the script aligns with its principles of trend analysis and market sentiment interpretation. By offering visual cues on sentiment shifts, it provides traders with insights into potential trading opportunities, echoing Elliot Wave's emphasis on pattern recognition and trend analysis.
Volume Candles:
Working Principle:
This feature introduces a custom volume calculation method tailored for bullish and bearish bars, enabling a granular analysis of volume dynamics specific to different price movements. By summing volumes over specified periods for bullish and bearish bars, traders gain insights into the intensity of buying and selling pressures during these periods, facilitating a deeper understanding of market sentiment. Subsequently, the script computes the net volume, revealing the overall balance between buying and selling pressures. Positive net volume signifies prevailing bullish sentiment, while negative net volume indicates bearish sentiment.
Benefits of Using Volume candles:
Enhanced Volume Analysis: Traders gain a deeper understanding of volume dynamics specific to bullish and bearish price movements, allowing them to assess the intensity of buying and selling pressures with greater precision.
Insight into Market Sentiment: By computing net volume and analyzing its relationship with the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), traders obtain valuable insights into prevailing market sentiment. This helps in identifying potential shifts in sentiment and anticipating market movements.
Visual Representation of Sentiment: The color-coded candle bodies based on volume dynamics provide traders with a visual representation of market sentiment. This intuitive visualization helps in quickly interpreting sentiment shifts and making timely trading decisions.
How to use this feature:
This visual representation allows traders to quickly interpret market sentiment based on volume dynamics. Green candles indicate potential bullish sentiment, while red candles suggest bearish sentiment. The color-coded candle bodies help traders identify shifts in market sentiment and make informed trading decisions.
Smart Sentimeter Candles:
Working Principle:
The "Smart Sentimeter Candles" feature is a tool designed for market sentiment analysis using technical indicators. It begins by defining stock symbols from various sectors, allowing traders to select specific indices for sentiment analysis. The script then calculates the difference between two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) of the High-Low midpoint, capturing short-term momentum changes in the market. It computes the difference between current and previous values to capture momentum shifts over time.
Additionally, it calculates the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of this difference to provide a smoothed representation of the prevailing trend in market momentum. Another EMA of this difference is calculated to offer an alternative perspective on longer-term momentum trends. Bar colors are determined based on the difference between current and previous values, with bullish and bearish sentiment represented by custom colors. Finally, sentiment candles are visualized on the chart, providing traders with a clear representation of market sentiment changes.
Benefits of Using Sentimeter Candles:
By analyzing index constituents, traders gain insights into the individual stocks that collectively influence the index's performance. This understanding is crucial for trading options as it helps traders tailor their strategies to specific sectors or stocks within the index.
Sector-Specific Analysis: Traders can focus on specific sectors by selecting relevant indices for sentiment analysis.
Momentum Identification: The script identifies short-term momentum changes in the market, aiding traders in spotting potential trend reversals or continuations.
Clear Visualization: Sentiment candles visually represent market sentiment changes, making it easier for traders to interpret and act upon sentiment trends.
How to use this feature:
Select Indices: Toggle the inputs to choose which indices (e.g., NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, FINNIFTY) to analyze.
Interpret Sentiment Candles: Monitor the color of sentiment candles on the chart. Green candles indicate bullish sentiment, while red candles suggest bearish sentiment.
Observe Momentum Changes: Pay attention to momentum changes identified by the difference between EMAs and their respective EMAs. Increasing bullish momentum may present buying opportunities, while increasing bearish momentum could signal potential sell-offs.
Trend Cloud:
Working Principle:
The script utilizes the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to assess market momentum, identifying bullish and bearish phases based on RSI readings. It calculates two boolean variables, bullmove and bearmove, which signal shifts in momentum direction by considering changes in the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the closing price. When RSI indicates bullish momentum and the closing price's EMA exhibits positive changes, bullmove is triggered, signifying the start of a bullish phase. Conversely, when RSI suggests bearish momentum and the closing price's EMA shows negative changes, bearmove is activated, marking the beginning of a bearish phase. This systematic approach helps in understanding the current trend of the price. The script visually emphasizes these phases on the chart using plot shape markers, providing traders with clear indications of trend shifts.
Benefits of Using Trend Cloud:
Comprehensive Momentum Assessment: The script offers a holistic view of market momentum by incorporating RSI readings and changes in the closing price's EMA, enabling traders to identify both bullish and bearish phases effectively.
Structured Trend Recognition: With the calculation of boolean variables, the script provides a structured approach to recognizing shifts in momentum direction, enhancing traders' ability to interpret market dynamics.
Visual Clarity: Plotshape markers visually highlight the start and end of bullish and bearish phases on the chart, facilitating easy identification of trend shifts and helping traders to stay informed.
Prompt Response: Traders can promptly react to changing market conditions as the script triggers alerts when bullish or bearish phases begin, allowing them to seize potential trading opportunities swiftly.
Informed Decision-Making: By integrating various indicators and visual cues, the script enables traders to make well-informed decisions and adapt their strategies according to prevailing market sentiment, ultimately enhancing their trading performance.
How to use this feature:
The most effective way to maximize the benefits of this feature is to use it in conjunction with other key indicators and visual cues. By combining the color-coded clouds, which indicate bullish and bearish sentiment, with other features such as IS candles, microtrend candles, volume candles, and sentimeter candles, traders can gain a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics. For instance, aligning the color of the clouds with the trend direction indicated by IS candles, microtrend candles, and sentimeter candles can provide confirmation of trend strength or potential reversals.
Furthermore, traders can leverage the trend cloud as a trailing stop-loss tool for long entries, enhancing risk management strategies. By adjusting the stop-loss level based on the color of the cloud, traders can trail their positions to capture potential profits while minimizing losses. For long entries, maintaining the position as long as the cloud remains green can help traders stay aligned with the prevailing bullish sentiment. Conversely, a shift in color from green to red serves as a signal to exit the position, indicating a potential reversal in market sentiment and minimizing potential losses. This integration of the trend cloud as a trailing stop-loss mechanism adds an additional layer of risk management to trading strategies, increasing the likelihood of successful trades while reducing exposure to adverse market movements.
Moreover, the red cloud serves as an indicator of decay in option premiums and potential theta effect, particularly relevant for options traders. When the cloud turns red, it suggests a decline in option prices and an increase in theta decay, highlighting the importance of managing options positions accordingly. Traders may consider adjusting their options strategies, such as rolling positions or closing out contracts, to mitigate the impact of theta decay and preserve capital. By incorporating this insight into options pricing dynamics, traders can make more informed decisions about their options trades.
Scalping Opportunities (UpArrow and DownArrow):
Working Principle:
The feature calculates candlestick values based on the open, high, low, and close prices of each bar. By comparing these derived candlestick values, it determines whether the current candlestick is bullish or bearish. Additionally, it signals when there is a change in the color (bullish or bearish) of the derived candlesticks compared to the previous bar, enabling traders to identify potential shifts in market sentiment. This is a long only strategy, hence the signals are plotted only when the Trend Cloud is Green (Bullish).
Benefits of using UpArrow and DownArrow:
Clear Visualization: By employing color-coded candlesticks, the script offers traders a visually intuitive representation of market sentiment, enabling quick interpretation of prevailing conditions.
Signal Identification: Its capability to detect shifts in market sentiment serves as a valuable tool for identifying potential trading opportunities, facilitating timely decision-making and execution.
Long-Only Strategy: The script selectively plots signals only when the trend cloud is green, aligning with a bullish bias and enabling traders to focus on long positions during favorable market conditions.
Up arrows indicate potential long entry points, complementing the bullish bias of the trend cloud. Conversely, down arrows signify an active pullback in progress, signaling caution and prompting traders to refrain from entering long positions during such periods.
How to use this feature:
Confirmation: Confirm bullish market conditions with the Trend Cloud indicator. Ensure alignment between trend cloud signals, candlestick colors, and arrow indicators for confident trading decisions.
Entry Signals: Look for buy signals within a green trend cloud, indicated by bullish candlestick color changes and up arrows, suggesting potential long entry points aligned with the prevailing bullish sentiment.
Wait Signals: Exercise caution when encountering down arrows, which signify wait signals or active pullbacks in progress. Avoid entering long positions during these periods to avoid potential losses.
Exit Strategy: Use trend cloud color changes as signals to exit long positions. When the trend cloud shifts color, consider closing out long positions to lock in profits or minimize losses.
Profit Management: It's important to book or lock in some profits early on in option buying. Consider taking partial profits when the trade is in your favor and trail the remaining position to maximize gains on favorable trades.
Risk Management: Implement stop-loss orders or trailing stops to manage risk effectively. Exit positions promptly if sentiment shifts or if price movements deviate from the established trend, safeguarding capital.
Up and Down Signals:
Working Principle:
This feature calculates Trailing Stoploss (TSL) using the Average True Range (ATR) to dynamically adjust the stop level based on price movements. It generates buy signals when the price crosses above the trailing stop and sell signals when it crosses below. These signals are plotted on the chart and trigger alerts, signaling potential trading opportunities. Additionally, the script selectively plots Up and Down signals only when the Implementation Shortfall Calculation identifies scalp opportunities, independent of the prevailing price trend.
Benefits of using Up and Down Signals:
Trailing Stoploss: The script employs an ATR-based trailing stop, allowing traders to adjust stop levels dynamically in response to changing market conditions, thereby maximizing profit potential and minimizing losses.
Clear Signal Generation: Buy and sell signals are generated based on price interactions with the trailing stop, providing clear indications of entry and exit points for traders to act upon.
Alert Notifications: The script triggers alerts when buy or sell signals are generated, ensuring traders remain informed of potential trading opportunities even when not actively monitoring the charts.
Scalping Opportunities: By incorporating Implementation Shortfall Calculation, the script identifies scalp opportunities, enabling traders to capitalize on short-term price movements irrespective of the prevailing trend.
How to use this feature:
Signal Interpretation: Interpret Up signals as opportunities to enter long positions when the price crosses above the trailing stop, and Down signals as cues to exit.
Alert Monitoring: Pay attention to alert notifications triggered by the script, indicating potential trading opportunities based on signal generation.
Scalping Strategy: When Up and Down signals are plotted alongside scalp opportunities identified by the Implementation Shortfall Calculation, consider scalping trades aligned with these signals for short-term profit-taking, regardless of the overall market trend.
Consideration of Trend Cloud: Remember that this feature does not account for the underlying trend provided by the Trend Cloud feature. Consequently, the take profit levels generated by the trailing stop may be smaller than those derived from trend-following strategies. It's advisable to supplement this feature with additional trend analysis to optimize profit-taking levels and enhance overall trading performance.
Chart Timeframe Support and Resistance:
Working Principle:
This feature serves to identify and visualize support and resistance levels on the chart, primarily based on the chosen Chart Timeframe (CTF). It allows users to specify parameters such as the number of bars considered on the left and right sides of each pivot point, as well as line width and label color. Moreover, users have the option to enable or disable the display of these levels. By utilizing functions to calculate pivot highs and lows within the specified timeframe, the script determines the highest high and lowest low surrounding each pivot point.
Additionally, it defines functions to create lines and labels for each detected support and resistance level. Notably, this feature incorporates a trading method that emphasizes the concept of resistance turning into support after breakouts, thereby providing valuable insights for traders employing such strategies. These lines are drawn on the chart, with colors indicating whether the level is above or below the current close price, aiding traders in visualizing key levels and making informed trading decisions.
Benefits of Chart Timeframe Support and Resistance:
Identification of Price Levels: Support and resistance levels help traders identify significant price levels where buying (support) and selling (resistance) pressure may intensify. These levels are often formed based on historical price movements and are regarded as areas of interest for traders.
Decision Making: Support and resistance levels assist traders in making informed trading decisions. By observing price reactions near these levels, traders can gauge market sentiment and adjust their strategies accordingly. For example, traders may choose to enter or exit positions, set stop-loss orders, or take profit targets based on price behavior around these levels.
Risk Management: Support and resistance levels aid in risk management by providing reference points for setting stop-loss orders. Traders often place stop-loss orders below support levels for long positions and above resistance levels for short positions to limit potential losses if the market moves against them.
How to use this feature:
Planning Long Positions: When considering long positions, it's advantageous to strategize when the price is in proximity to a support level identified by the script. This suggests a potential area of buying interest where traders may expect a bounce or reversal in price. Additionally, confirm the bullish bias by ensuring that the trend cloud is green, indicating favorable market conditions for long trades.
Waiting for Breakout: If long signals are generated near resistance levels detected by the script, exercise patience and wait for a breakout above the resistance. A breakout above resistance signifies potential strength in the upward momentum and may present a more opportune moment to enter long positions. This approach aligns with trading methodologies that emphasize confirmation of bullish momentum before initiating trades.

Trend & Pullback Toolkit (Expo)█ Overview
The Trend & Pullback Trading Toolkit is an all-encompassing suite of tools designed for serious traders who want a comprehensive trend approach. It empowers traders to align their strategies with prevailing market trends, thereby mitigating risk while maximizing profit potential.
The Toolkit helps traders spot, analyze, and react to market trends, pullbacks, and significant trends. It combines multiple trading methodologies, such as the Elliott Wave theory, cyclical analysis, retracement analysis, strength analysis, volatility analysis, and pivot analysis, to provide a thorough understanding of the market. All these tools can help traders detect trends, pullbacks, and major shifts in the overall trend. By integrating different methodologies, this toolkit offers a multifaceted approach to analyzing market trends.
In essence, the Trend & Pullback Toolkit is the complete package for traders seeking to detect, evaluate, and act upon market trends and pullbacks while being prepared for major trend shifts.
The Trend & Pullback Toolkit works in any market and timeframe for discretionary analysis and includes many oscillators and features, but first, let us define what a cycle is:
█ What is a cycle
This involves the analysis of recurring patterns or events in the market that repeat over a specific period. Cycles can exist in various time frames and can be identified and analyzed with various tools, including some types of oscillators or time-based analysis methods.
Traders must also be aware that cycles do not always repeat perfectly and can often shift, evolve, or disappear entirely.
█ Features & How They Work
Elliott Wave Cycles: This is a method of technical analysis that traders use to analyze financial market cycles and forecast market trends. Elliott Wave theory asserts that markets move in repetitive cycles, which traders can analyze to predict future price movement. The core principle behind the theory is that market prices alternate between an impulsive, or driving phase, and a corrective phase on all time scales of trend. This pattern forms a fractal, meaning it's a self-similar pattern that repeats regardless of the degree or size of the waves.
The Elliott Wave Cycle Feature uses the principle of the Elliott Wave to identify trends and pullbacks in real-time.
Ratio Wave Cycle: This method elaborates on the concept of how negative volatility, or the degree of variation in the negative returns of a financial instrument, influences the effectiveness of a relative price move. Essentially, it delves into the relationship between the negative fluctuations in the market and the resulting relative price change, exploring how the two aspects interact with each other.
The central concept is that trends are generally more stable and predictable than rapid retracements. Therefore, the indicator calculates the relationship between these two market movements. By doing so, it establishes a trend-based identification system. This system aids in forecasting future market movements, allowing traders to make informed decisions based on these predictions. Essentially, it uses the calculated relationship to discern the overall direction (trend) of the market despite temporary counter-movements (retracements), thereby providing a more robust trading signal.
Periodic Wave Cycle: Thi refers to patterns or events in price action that recur over a specific time period. Periodic cycles can range from short-term intraday cycles (like the tendency for stock market volatility to be high at the opening and close of trading) to long-term cycles trend cycles. Traders use this to predict future price movements and trends.
By identifying the phases of a cycle, traders can predict key turning points in the market.
Retracement Cycles: Retracements are temporary price reversals that occur within a larger trend. These retracements are a common occurrence in all markets and timeframes, representing a pause or counter-move within a larger prevailing trend. Retracements can be driven by a variety of factors, including profit-taking, market uncertainty, or a change in market fundamentals. Despite these periodic reversals, the overall trend (upwards or downwards) often continues after the retracement is complete.
Fibonacci retracement functions are primarily used to identify potential retracement levels.
Volatility Cycle: A volatility cycle refers to the periodic changes in the degree of dispersion or variability of a security's returns, expressed as a standard deviation or variance. This feature uses both measures.
Strength Cycle: Gauges the power of a market trend and its inherent impulses. This feature offers a broad perspective on the cyclical nature of markets, which alternate between periods of strength, often referred to as bull markets, and periods of weakness, known as bear markets. It effectively tracks the direction, intensity, and cyclic patterns of market behavior.
Let us define the difference between strength and impulse:
Strength: This refers to the power or force behind a price move. In trading, this refers to the momentum or volume supporting a price move.
Impulse: In the context of trading, an impulse usually refers to a strong move in price. Impulse moves are typically followed by corrective moves against the trend.
Pivot Cycles: Pivot cycles refer to the observation of recurring price patterns or turning points in the market. Pivots can be defined as significant highs or lows that act as potential reversal or support/resistance points. Pivot point analysis helps traders understand the prevailing market sentiment. Overall, pivot cycles provide traders with a framework to identify potential market turning points and price levels of interest.
