3 EMA + SupertrendThree EMAs: Helps you identify the general trend direction and potential crossovers.
When the Fast EMA crosses above the Medium or Slow EMAs, it may indicate a bullish trend, and vice versa for bearish trends.
Supertrend: Works as a trend filter. You can use it to identify overall market conditions:
When the Supertrend is green, it indicates an uptrend.
When the Supertrend is red, it indicates a downtrend.
Combination: The EMAs help you confirm the trend, and the Supertrend can act as a filter or confirmation tool for your entries and exits.
Potential Strategy Idea:
Long Entry: When the Fast EMA crosses above the Medium EMA, and the Supertrend is green.
Short Entry: When the Fast EMA crosses below the Medium EMA, and the Supertrend is red.
Exit: You can use either the Supertrend turning from green to red (for long exits) or vice versa.

Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI)Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI)
What is Lyapunov Market Instability?
Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI) is a revolutionary indicator that brings chaos theory from theoretical physics into practical trading. By calculating Lyapunov exponents—a measure of how rapidly nearby trajectories diverge in phase space—LMI quantifies market sensitivity to initial conditions. This isn't another oscillator or trend indicator; it's a mathematical lens that reveals whether markets are in chaotic (trending) or stable (ranging) regimes.
Inspired by the meditative color field paintings of Mark Rothko, this indicator transforms complex chaos mathematics into an intuitive visual experience. The elegant simplicity of the visualization belies the sophisticated theory underneath—just as Rothko's seemingly simple color blocks contain profound depth.
Theoretical Foundation (Chaos Theory & Lyapunov Exponents)
In dynamical systems, the Lyapunov exponent (λ) measures the rate of separation of infinitesimally close trajectories:
λ > 0: System is chaotic—small changes lead to dramatically different outcomes (butterfly effect)
λ < 0: System is stable—trajectories converge, perturbations die out
λ ≈ 0: Edge of chaos—transition between regimes
Phase Space Reconstruction
Using Takens' embedding theorem , we reconstruct market dynamics in higher dimensions:
Time-delay embedding: Create vectors from price at different lags
Nearest neighbor search: Find historically similar market states
Trajectory evolution: Track how these similar states diverged over time
Divergence rate: Calculate average exponential separation
Market Application
Chaotic markets (λ > threshold): Strong trends emerge, momentum dominates, use breakout strategies
Stable markets (λ < threshold): Mean reversion dominates, fade extremes, range-bound strategies work
Transition zones: Market regime about to change, reduce position size, wait for confirmation
How LMI Works
1. Phase Space Construction
Each point in time is embedded as a vector using historical prices at specific delays (τ). This reveals the market's hidden attractor structure.
2. Lyapunov Calculation
For each current state, we:
- Find similar historical states within epsilon (ε) distance
- Track how these initially similar states evolved
- Measure exponential divergence rate
- Average across multiple trajectories for robustness
3. Signal Generation
Chaos signals: When λ crosses above threshold, market enters trending regime
Stability signals: When λ crosses below threshold, market enters ranging regime
Divergence detection: Price/Lyapunov divergences signal potential reversals

Originality & Innovation
LMI represents a genuine breakthrough in applying chaos theory to markets:
True Lyapunov Calculation: Not a simplified proxy but actual phase space reconstruction and divergence measurement
Rothko Aesthetic: Transforms complex math into meditative visual experience
Regime Detection: Identifies market state changes before price makes them obvious
Practical Application: Clear, actionable signals from theoretical physics
This is not a combination of existing indicators or a visual makeover of standard tools. It's a fundamental rethinking of how we measure and visualize market dynamics.
Best Practices
Start with defaults: Parameters are optimized for broad market conditions
Match to your timeframe: Adjust tau and evolution steps
Confirm with price action: LMI shows regime, not direction
Use appropriate strategies: Chaos = trend, Stability = reversion
Respect transitions: Reduce risk during regime changes
Alerts Available
Chaos Entry: Market entering chaotic regime - prepare for trends
Stability Entry: Market entering stable regime - prepare for ranges
Bullish Divergence: Potential bottom forming
Bearish Divergence: Potential top forming

EMA with ColoringDescription:
The "EMA with Coloring" indicator plots a customizable Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the price chart, with its color dynamically changing based on the Ichimoku Cloud's trend signals. This tool helps traders identify trend direction and potential trading opportunities by combining the simplicity of an EMA with the robust trend analysis of the Ichimoku system. The EMA changes color to reflect bullish (uptrend), bearish (downtrend), or neutral (in-cloud) market conditions, making it easier to spot trend shifts and trade setups.
How It Works:
EMA Calculation: The indicator calculates an EMA based on the user-defined period (default: 9). The EMA is plotted directly on the price chart, overlaying candlesticks or bars.
Ichimoku Coloring Logic: The EMA’s color is determined by an underlying Ichimoku Cloud system:
Green (Uptrend): When the price is above the Ichimoku Cloud and bullish conditions are confirmed (e.g., Conversion Line above Base Line and rising momentum).
Red (Downtrend): When the price is below the Ichimoku Cloud and bearish conditions are confirmed (e.g., Conversion Line below Base Line and falling momentum).
ATR Whipsaw Protection: The indicator uses an Average True Range (ATR) filter to reduce false signals during choppy markets, ensuring more reliable trend identification.
Customizable Settings:
EMA Length: Adjust the period of the EMA (default: 9) to make it more or less sensitive to price changes.
Uptrend/Downtrend Colors: Choose from Green, Red, or Blue for the EMA’s color in bullish or bearish conditions.
Transparency: Set the EMA’s opacity (default: 0, fully opaque) for better visibility on the chart.
How to Trade It:
Trend Identification:
Bullish (Green EMA): Indicates a strong uptrend. Look for buying opportunities when the EMA turns green, especially if the price is above the cloud and the EMA is sloping upward.
Bearish (Red EMA): Indicates a strong downtrend. Consider selling or shorting when the EMA turns red, particularly if the price is below the cloud and the EMA is sloping downward.
Neutral (Gray EMA): Signals a range-bound market. Avoid trend-based trades and consider range trading or waiting for a breakout.
Entry Signals:
Long Entry: Enter a buy trade when the EMA changes from gray or red to green, and the price breaks above a recent high or key resistance, confirming bullish momentum.
Short Entry: Enter a sell/short trade when the EMA changes from gray or green to red, and the price breaks below a recent low or key support, confirming bearish momentum.
Exit Signals:
Exit long trades when the EMA turns gray or red, indicating a potential trend reversal or consolidation.
Exit short trades when the EMA turns gray or green, suggesting the downtrend may be weakening.
Risk Management:
Use stop-losses below recent swing lows (for longs) or above swing highs (for shorts) to protect against unexpected reversals.
Combine with support/resistance levels, candlestick patterns, or other indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD) for confirmation.
Tips:
Adjust the EMA length to suit your trading style: shorter periods (e.g., 5–10) for scalping/day trading, longer periods (e.g., 20–50) for swing trading.
Test the indicator on your preferred timeframe and asset to optimize settings.
Settings:
EMA Settings:
EMA Length: Default is 9. Increase for smoother trends, decrease for more sensitivity.
EMA Color Settings:
Uptrend EMA Color: Choose Green, Red, or Blue (default: Green) for bullish conditions.
Downtrend EMA Color: Choose Green, Red, or Blue (default: Red) for bearish conditions.
EMA Color Transparency: Default is 0 (fully opaque). Adjust to 10–100 for partial transparency if needed.
Notes:
Best used on timeframes where trends are clear (e.g., 1H, 4H, Daily).
The Ichimoku logic runs in the background with fixed parameters optimized for reliability, so only the EMA and color settings are adjustable.
Always backtest and practice on a demo account before using in live trading.

1. Introduction
The Swing-Failure-Pattern (SFP) – Confirmed Short indicator spots and tracks bearish SFPs on any market and timeframe, with defaults tuned for Daily charts.
A bearish SFP occurs when price sweeps a prior swing high (liquidity grab) and then decisively rejects lower , signalling a possible trend reversal or sharp pullback.
This script automatically:
Identifies the liquidity sweep & rejection (‐"SFP-SHORT" label)
Confirms directional intent via a structure-breaking close below the setup low
Paints a preferred sell-on-retest zone and tracks its validity
Identifies optimal entry opportunities when price retests the zone
Generates optional retest and entry alerts when trading conditions appear
Self-cleans after a configurable number of bars – keeping your chart tidy
Default Timeframe : Daily
Default Market : Crypto / FX majors
Works On : All symbols + timeframes – simply adjust parameters.
2. Core Concept – What Is an SFP?
Sweep (Liquidity Grab) – Price trades above a meaningful swing high, triggering stops & inducing breakout buyers.
Rejection – The same bar (or the next) closes back below the swept high, invalidating the breakout.
Structure Break – Bears confirm intent by closing below the "setup low" (the most recent pivot low before the sweep).
Retest – Price retraces to the sweep zone. Traders seek entries inside the upper half of that zone with invalidation just above the swing high.
The indicator encodes these four steps so you can spot high-quality bearish reversals without manual bar-by-bar analysis.
3. How the Indicator Works
Phase: Sweep & Rejection
Script Logic: high > lastSwingHigh and close < lastSwingHigh
Visual Cue: Red SFP-SHORT label above candle
Phase: Structure Break
Script Logic: Close < setupLow while pattern locked
Visual Cue: Zone (red line-box) plotted; SFP-SHORT label stays
Phase: Retest Tracking
Script Logic: Zone stays active for retestExpiry bars or until tapped
Visual Cue: Orange SFP-RETEST label when hit
Phase: Entry Signal
Script Logic: Price rejection within retest zone
Visual Cue: Green ENTRY label at optimal entry point
Phase: Expiry / Cleanup
Script Logic: Zone deleted after expiry
Visual Cue: Labels fade but remain visible for reference
All calculations reset after each completed/expired pattern ensuring fresh, uncluttered signals.
4. Visual Elements & Their Meaning
SFP-SHORT (red) – Bar that swept a prior high and closed below it.
Red Box / Line – Preferred sell zone between the swing high (upper bound) and dynamic lower bound (see sizing methods). Extends right until filled/expired.
SFP-RETEST (orange) – Bar that first tags the zone after confirmation.
ENTRY (green) – Appears when a high-probability entry signal occurs within the retest zone.
EXPIRED (gray) – Appears when the retest zone expires without being hit.
Visual Persistence – Labels fade but remain visible after expiry for reference and historical analysis.
5. Input Parameters Explained
Pivot Detection
Pivot left / right : Bars left/right of the pivot that must stay below/above it. Tip : Symmetrical values (3/3) work best for clean structure.
Retest Management
Retest expiry (bars) : Lifespan of a retest zone before it is considered stale. Default: 14 bars on Daily . Tip : Shorten for intraday, lengthen for swing trading.
Retest Zone Sizing
Sizing method : Select Static %, ATR-based or Hybrid logic for the lower boundary. Tip : Hybrid balances tight stops with realistic fills.
Static % : Fixed fraction of sweep range when Static/Hybrid is selected. Tip : Higher % deepens zone & widens stop.
ATR period : Look-back length for ATR when volatility sizing is used. Tip : Increase to smooth choppy markets.
ATR multiplier : Multiplier applied to ATR in ATR-based/Hybrid mode. Tip : Higher value widens zone during volatility.
Visual – Retest Zone
Show retest zone box : Toggles drawing of the semi-transparent sell zone box. Tip : Disable for ultra-clean look.
Retest box color : Fill colour of the box (alpha = transparency). Tip : Match your chart theme.
Max retest boxes : How many historical boxes remain visible (0 = unlimited). Tip : Lower to boost performance.
Only show active boxes : Automatically deletes a box once it's hit. Tip : Reduces clutter during back-testing.
Visual – General
Minimal mode : Hides most visuals apart from critical labels. Tip : Ideal for screenshots.
Show retest zone line : Draws a vertical line linking upper/lower boundaries. Tip : Acts as a quick depth guide.
Show ENTRY labels : Plots 'ENTRY' on optimal candles. Tip : Turn off for manual confirmation.
Labels
Label size : Overall size of all labels. Tip : tiny / small / normal.
Use simple label style : Switches to pixel text style for labels. Tip : Faster rendering on low-spec machines.
Advanced
minPct / maxPct (hard-coded) : Internal floor/cap for Hybrid logic. Tip : Exposed in code for power-users only.
Zone-Sizing Methods
Static – Lower bound = sweepRange × staticPct.
ATR-based – Lower bound = ATR × multiplier, normalised to the sweepRange.
Hybrid – Uses the greater of Static and ATR-based (capped by an internal safety ceiling).
6. Step-by-Step Trading Playbook
Identify Context – Prefer setups against extended moves into obvious highs (e.g., daily swing highs, prior week high, round numbers).
Wait for SFP Confirmation – The indicator will label an SFP-SHORT only after the candle closes. Do not front-run.
Structure-Break Close – A close below setupLow turns the zone live. This is your go signal – prepare sell orders.
Place Orders in the Zone
Entry : Limit order anywhere between retestLower and the swing high.
Stop : 1-2 ticks/pips above the swing high.
Risk Management
Size position so risk per trade ≤ account risk % (common: 0.5-1%).
If no retest before retestExpiry bars → cancel order .
Targets
Conservative: First liquidity pocket / FVG below.
Aggressive: 2-3× risk or next HTF support.
Trail or Partial – Consider trailing stop once 1R is achieved or partial profit at 1R.
7. Example Workflow (Daily BTC-USDT)
BTC trades to a fresh one-month high at $31 050 sweeping prior highs.
Candle closes at $30 420 – below the swept high – SFP-SHORT label appears.
Two days later, candle closes below setupLow at $29 880 – confirmation & zone plotted (upper = $31 050, lower ≈ $30 550).
Five days later price retests the zone hitting $30 750 – SFP-RETEST alert fires, trade filled.
Stop placed @ $31 120 (70$ risk). 1R target = $29 680 reached four days later.
8. Alerts & Automation
SFP Short confirmed
Fires When: Structure-break close below setupLow.
Suggested Action: Prepare/submit sell-limit order in the zone.
SFP Short retest
Fires When: Price enters the retest zone.
Suggested Action: Monitor for entry signals or prepare for manual entry.
SFP Short Entry Signal
Fires When: Optimal entry conditions detected within retest zone.
Suggested Action: Execute short trade with defined risk parameters.
Use TradingView's Webhook URL to forward alerts to a trade-execution bot (e.g., PineConnector) for automated order placement.
9. Tips, Tricks & Best Practices
Combine with HTF Bias – Only take bearish SFPs in bearish weekly trend.
Watch Volume – High volume on the sweep bar adds conviction.
Time Window – SFPs during NY session FX / US session crypto tend to be stronger.
Cluster Zones – Multiple overlapping SFP zones increase probability; treat the cluster as one larger supply.
Avoid News – Skip SFPs forming minutes before high-impact macro news.
10. FAQ
Q: Can I use this on lower timeframes?
A: Yes – reduce retestExpiry (e.g., 15 bars on 15-minute) and test ATR-based sizing.
Q: Does it work for longs?
A: This script focuses on bearish SFPs. Clone & invert conditions for longs.
Q: Why did a zone disappear?
A: Either it expired (retestExpiry) without a retest or the cleanup routine removed old visuals to stay within Pine limits (500 objects per type).
Q: What's the difference between the "SFP-RETEST" and "ENTRY" signals?
A: "SFP-RETEST" indicates price has entered the zone, while "ENTRY" signals an optimal entry opportunity based on price rejection within the zone.
Q: How do I customize the label appearance?
A: Use the "Label size" and "Use simple label style" settings to adjust all labels to your preferred visual style.
Happy trading & trade safe!
11. Advanced Configuration & Asset-Class Playbook
Why does the retest box feel "too high" and how do I actually get filled? Use the quick tweaks below or the power-user code snippet to shape the zone to your personality and instrument.
11.1 Why the default box is shallow
The Static 25 % / ATR-Hybrid logic keeps stops small. Around 50 % of Daily BTC SFPs never look back – that's the cost of tight risk. If you need higher fill-rates, deepen the zone (11.2).
11.2 Three slider moves – no coding required
Retest zone sizing method – switch Static → Hybrid or ATR-based
Static % – raise from 0.25 → 0.45-0.60
ATR multiplier – raise from 1.0 → 1.5-2.0
Each turn pulls the lower edge of the box deeper while keeping the invalidation at the swing high.
11.3 One-liner for coders
To allow >60 % of the sweep range edit the source:
Old code:
minPct = 0.05
maxPct = 0.60
New code:
minPct = 0.05
maxPct = input.float(0.60, "Max retest % of sweep", step = 0.05, minval = 0.10, maxval = 0.95)
Then dial the cap up to ~0.80-0.90 from the settings panel.
11.4 If price never comes back…
No-retest partial – take 25-40 % size on the confirmation candle, stop above the high.
Lower-TF confirmation – drop to 4 h / 1 h and hunt an internal SFP or bearish FVG inside the sweep.
ATR trail – if price dumps immediately, trail the stop above each new lower-high.
11.5 Asset-Class Cheat-Sheet
Crypto – Daily : Static %: 0.20-0.35, ATR mult: 1.0, Retest Expiry: 12-20 . Notes : High volatility; sweeps expand fast.

ADX and DI - Trader FelipeADX and DI - Trader Felipe
This indicator combines the Average Directional Index (ADX) and the Directional Indicators (DI+ and DI-) to help traders assess market trends and their strength. It is designed to provide a clear view of whether the market is in a trending phase (either bullish or bearish) and helps identify potential entry and exit points.
What is ADX and DI?
DI+ (Green Line):
DI+ measures the strength of upward (bullish) price movements. When DI+ is above DI-, it signals that the market is experiencing upward momentum.
DI- (Red Line):
DI- measures the strength of downward (bearish) price movements. When DI- is above DI+, it suggests that the market is in a bearish phase, with downward momentum.
ADX (Blue Line):
ADX quantifies the strength of the trend, irrespective of whether it is bullish or bearish. The higher the ADX, the stronger the trend:
ADX > 20: Indicates a trending market (either up or down).
ADX < 20: Indicates a weak or sideways market with no clear trend.
Threshold Line (Gray Line):
This horizontal line, typically set at 20, represents the threshold for identifying whether the market is trending or not. If ADX is above 20, the market is considered to be in a trend. If ADX is below 20, it suggests that the market is not trending and is likely in a consolidation phase.
Summary of How to Use the Indicator:
Trend Confirmation: Use ADX > 20 to confirm a trending market. If ADX is below 20, avoid trading.
Long Entry: Enter a long position when DI+ > DI- and ADX > 20.
Short Entry: Enter a short position when DI- > DI+ and ADX > 20.
Avoid Sideways Markets: Do not trade when ADX is below 20. Look for other strategies for consolidation phases.
Exit Strategy: Exit the trade if ADX starts to decline or if the DI lines cross in the opposite direction.
Combine with Other Indicators: Use additional indicators like RSI, moving averages, or support/resistance to filter and confirm signals.
Stochastic RSI with MTF TableShort Description of the Script
The provided Pine Script indicator, titled "Stochastic RSI with MTF Table," calculates and displays the Stochastic RSI for the current timeframe and multiple other timeframes (5m, 15m, 30m, 60m, 240m, and daily). The Stochastic RSI is a momentum indicator that blends the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Stochastic Oscillator to identify overbought and oversold conditions, as well as potential trend reversals via K and D line crossovers.
Key features of the script include:
Inputs: Customizable parameters such as K smoothing (default 3), D smoothing (default 3), RSI length (default 14), Stochastic length (default 14), source price (default close), and overbought/oversold levels (default 80/20).
MTF Table: A table displays the Stochastic RSI status for each timeframe:
"OB" (overbought) if K > 80, "OS" (oversold) if K < 20, or "N" (neutral) otherwise.
Crossovers: "K↑D" for bullish (K crosses above D) and "K↓D" for bearish (K crosses below D).
Visualization: Plots the K and D lines for the current timeframe, with horizontal lines at 80 (overbought), 50 (middle), and 20 (oversold), plus a background fill for clarity.
Table Position: Configurable to appear in one of four chart corners (default: top-right).
This indicator helps traders assess momentum across multiple timeframes simultaneously, aiding in the identification of trend strength and potential entry/exit points.
Trading Strategy with 50EMA and 200EMA for Highest Winning Rate
To create a strategy with the best probability of a high winning rate using the Stochastic RSI MTF indicator alongside the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (50EMA) and 200-period Exponential Moving Average (200EMA), we can combine trend identification with momentum-based entry timing. The 50EMA and 200EMA are widely used to determine medium- and long-term trends, while the Stochastic RSI MTF table provides multi-timeframe momentum signals. Here’s the strategy:
1. Determine the Overall Trend
Bullish Trend: The 50EMA is above the 200EMA on the current timeframe (e.g., daily or 60m chart). This suggests an uptrend, often associated with a "Golden Cross."
Bearish Trend: The 50EMA is below the 200EMA on the current timeframe. This indicates a downtrend, often linked to a "Death Cross."
Implementation: Plot the 50EMA and 200EMA on your chart and visually confirm their relative positions.
2. Identify Entry Signals Using the Stochastic RSI MTF Table
In a Bullish Trend (50EMA > 200EMA):
Look for timeframes in the MTF table showing:
Oversold (OS): K < 20, indicating a potential pullback in the uptrend where price may rebound.
Bullish Crossover (K↑D): K crosses above D, signaling rising momentum and a potential entry point.
Example: If the 60m and 240m timeframes show "OS" or "K↑D," this could be a buy signal.
In a Bearish Trend (50EMA < 200EMA):
Look for timeframes in the MTF table showing:
Overbought (OB): K > 80, suggesting a rally in the downtrend where price may reverse downward.
Bearish Crossover (K↓D): K crosses below D, indicating declining momentum and a potential short entry.
Example: If the 30m and daily timeframes show "OB" or "K↓D," this could be a sell/short signal.
Current Timeframe Check: Use the plotted K and D lines on your trading timeframe for precise entry timing (e.g., confirm a K↑D crossover on a 60m chart for a long trade).
3. Confirm Signals Across Multiple Timeframes
Strengthen the Signal: A higher winning rate is more likely when multiple timeframes align with the trend and signal. For instance:
Bullish trend + "OS" or "K↑D" on 60m, 240m, and daily = strong buy signal.
Bearish trend + "OB" or "K↓D" on 15m, 60m, and 240m = strong sell signal.
Prioritize Higher Timeframes: Signals from the 240m or daily timeframe carry more weight due to their indication of broader trends, increasing reliability.
4. Set Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Levels
Long Trades (Bullish):
Stop-Loss: Place below the most recent swing low or below the 50EMA, whichever is closer, to protect against trend reversals.
Take-Profit: Target a key resistance level or use a risk-reward ratio (e.g., 2:1 or 3:1) based on the stop-loss distance.
Short Trades (Bearish):
Stop-Loss: Place above the most recent swing high or above the 50EMA, whichever is closer.
Take-Profit: Target a key support level or apply a similar risk-reward ratio.
Trailing Stop Option: As the trend progresses, trail the stop below the 50EMA (for longs) or above it (for shorts) to lock in profits.
5. Risk Management
Position Sizing: Risk no more than 1-2% of your trading capital per trade to minimize losses from false signals.
Volatility Consideration: Adjust stop-loss distances and position sizes based on the asset’s volatility (e.g., wider stops for volatile stocks or crypto).
Avoid Overtrading: Wait for clear alignment between the EMA trend and MTF signals to avoid low-probability setups.
Example Scenario
Chart: 60-minute timeframe.
Trend: 50EMA > 200EMA (bullish).
MTF Table: 60m shows "OS," 240m shows "K↑D," and daily is "N."
Action: Enter a long position when the 60m K line crosses above D, confirming the table signal.
Stop-Loss: Below the recent 60m swing low (e.g., 2% below entry).
Take-Profit: At the next resistance level or a 3:1 reward-to-risk ratio.
Outcome: High probability of success due to trend alignment and multi-timeframe confirmation.
Why This Strategy Works
Trend Following: Trading in the direction of the 50EMA/200EMA trend reduces the risk of fighting the market’s momentum.
Momentum Timing: The Stochastic RSI MTF table pinpoints pullbacks or reversals within the trend, improving entry timing.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation: Alignment across timeframes filters out noise, increasing the win rate.
Risk Control: Defined stop-loss and position sizing protect against inevitable losses.
Caveats
No strategy guarantees a 100% win rate; false signals can occur, especially in choppy markets.
Test this strategy on historical data or a demo account to verify its effectiveness for your asset and timeframe.
This approach leverages the strengths of both trend-following (EMA) and momentum (Stochastic RSI) tools, aiming for a high-probability, disciplined trading system.

Volume Nodes Probability Gauge[VIO]Volume Nodes Probability Gauge
This indicator helps identify and analyze significant volume nodes on the chart. It visualizes the probability of these key price levels holding based on how many times price has interacted with them. Additionally, it provides a dynamic volatility pressure gauge next to nearby volume nodes, offering insight into the current market volatility as price approaches these levels. The indicator also includes customizable alerts for level crossings combined with specific volatility conditions.
Key Features:
Significant Volume Node Identification: Automatically detects price levels with notable volume activity.
Probability Visualization: Displays a probability percentage next to each volume node, which decreases as the level is touched more frequently.
Volatility Pressure Gauge: Shows a visual gauge next to nearby volume nodes, indicating the current volatility pressure (bullish/green or bearish/red) and its intensity.
Customizable Alerts: Set alerts for price crossing significant volume nodes based on increasing/decreasing average volatility, high volatility levels, or any volatility.
Adjustable Sensitivity: Control the strength and number of volume nodes detected.
Customizable Visuals: Configure the appearance of volume nodes based on their "touched" state (Naked, Dirty, Faded).
Okay, I can explain how you might use the "Volume Nodes Probability Gauge " indicator in a trading context. The indicator provides several pieces of information that can be combined to inform potential trading decisions.
Here's a breakdown of how to interpret and potentially trade using its features:
Volume Nodes as Support/Resistance:
Interpretation: The core of the indicator is identifying price levels where significant volume has traded in the past. These levels often act as areas of support (where buying pressure might step in) or resistance (where selling pressure might emerge).
Trading Idea: Look for price reactions around these visualized volume nodes.
Long Entry: Consider long positions if price approaches a volume node from above and shows signs of support (e.g., bullish price action, rejection candles).
Short Entry: Consider short positions if price approaches a volume node from below and shows signs of resistance (e.g., bearish price action, rejection candles).
Probability Gauge:
Interpretation: The probability percentage next to each node gives you an idea of how "fresh" or "tested" the level is. A higher percentage (less touches) suggests the level hasn't been heavily traded since it formed, potentially making it a stronger barrier on the first few tests. A lower percentage (more touches) indicates the level has been revisited multiple times, which could mean it's weakening or acting as a magnet.
Trading Idea:
Higher Probability (e.g., 80%+): These "Naked" or "Dirty" levels (0-1 touches) might offer stronger initial reactions. You might look for bounce trades off these levels with tighter stops.
Lower Probability (e.g., < 50%): These "Faded" levels (2+ touches) might be more prone to breaking. You might look for breakout trades through these levels, or anticipate price consolidating around them.
Volatility Pressure Gauge:
Interpretation: This gauge shows the current volatility pressure (increasing/decreasing average volatility) as price gets close to a specific volume node.
Green Gauge (Increasing Average Volatility): Suggests volatility is expanding as price nears the node. This can indicate potential for a strong move or a breakout.
Red Gauge (Decreasing Average Volatility): Suggests volatility is contracting as price nears the node. This might precede consolidation or a less impulsive reaction at the level.
Trading Idea:
Green Gauge at a Node: If price is at a volume node with a green volatility gauge, it could signal an impending breakout or a strong impulsive bounce/rejection. This might increase confidence in a breakout trade (if other factors align) or suggest a potentially volatile reaction if trading a bounce.
Red Gauge at a Node: If price is at a volume node with a red volatility gauge, it might suggest consolidation around the level or a less aggressive reaction. This could be useful for range-bound strategies or anticipating a slower move.
Volatility Crossing Alerts:
Interpretation: These alerts notify you when price crosses a volume node and a specific volatility condition is met (increasing average volatility, high volatility level, or any volatility).
Trading Idea: Use these alerts as potential entry signals or confirmation of a move.
An alert with "Increasing Average Volatility" or "High Volatility Level" when price crosses a node could signal a high-momentum breakout or breakdown.
You can configure the alerts to notify you based on the volatility condition that best suits your trading style.
Combining Signals:
The most effective way to use this indicator is likely by combining the signals. For example:
A high-probability (Naked/Dirty) volume node + price showing rejection + Green Volatility Pressure Gauge could be a strong confluence for a bounce trade.
A low-probability (Faded) volume node + price breaking through + Green Volatility Pressure Gauge could indicate a higher likelihood of a successful breakout trade.
Remember that no indicator is perfect, and it's crucial to use this in conjunction with your overall trading strategy, risk management, and other analysis tools. Experiment with the different input settings to find what works best for the instruments and timeframes you trade.
Supply In Profit Z-Score | Vistula LabsOverview
The Supply In Profit Z-Score indicator is a Pine Script™ tool developed by Vistula Labs for technical analysis of cryptocurrencies, specifically Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). It utilizes on-chain data from IntoTheBlock to calculate the difference between the percentage of addresses in profit and those in loss, transforming this metric into a Z-Score. This indicator helps traders identify market sentiment, trend-following opportunities, and overbought or oversold conditions.
What is Supply In Profit?
Supply In Profit is defined as the net difference between the percentage of addresses in profit and those in loss:
Profit Percentage: The proportion of addresses where the current value of holdings exceeds the acquisition price.
Loss Percentage: The proportion of addresses where the current value is below the acquisition price.
A positive value indicates more addresses are in profit, suggesting bullish sentiment, while a negative value indicates widespread losses, hinting at bearish sentiment.
How It Works
The indicator computes a Z-Score to normalize the Supply In Profit data relative to its historical behavior:
Z-Score = (Current Supply In Profit - Moving Average of Supply In Profit) / Standard Deviation of Supply In Profit
Current Supply In Profit: The latest profit-minus-loss percentage.
Moving Average: A customizable average (e.g., EMA, SMA) over a default 180-bar period.
Standard Deviation: Calculated over a default 200-bar lookback period.
Key Features
Data Source:
Selectable between BTC and ETH, pulling daily profit/loss percentage data from IntoTheBlock.
Customization:
Moving Average Type: Options include SMA, EMA, DEMA, RMA, WMA, or VWMA (default: EMA).
Moving Average Length: Default is 180 bars.
Z-Score Lookback: Default is 200 bars.
Thresholds: Adjustable for long/short signals and overbought/oversold levels.
Signals:
Long Signal: Z-Score crosses above the Long Threshold (default: 1.0).
Short Signal: Z-Score crosses below the Short Threshold (default: -0.64).
Overbought/Oversold Conditions:
Overbought: Z-Score > 3.0.
Oversold: Z-Score < -2.0.
Visualizations:
Z-Score Plot: Teal for long signals, magenta for short signals.
Threshold Lines: Dashed lines for long/short, solid lines for overbought/oversold.
Candlestick Coloring: Matches signal colors (teal/magenta).
Arrows: Green up-triangles for long entries, red down-triangles for short entries.
Background Colors: Magenta for overbought, teal for oversold.
Alerts:
Conditions for Long Opportunity, Short Opportunity, Overbought, and Oversold.
Usage Guide
Trend Following
Long Entry: When Z-Score crosses above 1.0, indicating potential upward momentum.
Short Entry: When Z-Score crosses below -0.64, suggesting potential downward momentum.
Overbought/Oversold Analysis
Overbought (Z-Score > 3.0): Consider profit-taking or preparing for a reversal.
Oversold (Z-Score < -2.0): Look for buying opportunities or exiting shorts.
Timeframe
Uses daily IntoTheBlock data, ideal for medium to long-term analysis.
Interpretation
High Z-Score: Indicates Supply In Profit is significantly above its historical mean, potentially signaling overvaluation.
Low Z-Score: Suggests Supply In Profit is below its mean, indicating possible undervaluation.
Signals and thresholds help traders act on shifts in market sentiment or extreme conditions.
Conclusion
The Supply In Profit Z-Score indicator provides a robust, data-driven approach to analyzing cryptocurrency market trends and sentiment. By combining on-chain metrics with statistical normalization, it empowers traders to make informed decisions based on historical context and current market dynamics.
MTS📊 MTS (Murrey Math System) Trading Strategy for TradingView 📊
Introduction:
This script implements the Murrey Math System (MTS), a market analysis tool based on a set of pivot points and price ranges, designed to help traders identify key levels of support and resistance.
MTS calculates key price levels based on historical price swings and helps identify price targets, stop-loss levels, and potential breakout zones.
The strategy also includes an adaptive bias panel, showing buy or sell suggestions based on current price action relative to Murrey Math levels.
Key Components:
1. Pivot Calculation and Conditions:
Pivot Lookback & Spikeyness Index:
The pivots: lookback/forward input defines how far back (and forward) the script looks to identify potential pivot points (high and low). A smaller value focuses on more recent swings, while larger values consider a broader range.
The Spikeyness Index (atrMult) allows you to adjust sensitivity to market spikes, utilizing the Average True Range (ATR) to detect sharp price movements that could indicate potential turning points.
Pivot Conditions:
isPivHigh and isPivLow detect local high and low pivot points, respectively.
Spiky Conditions: The spikyH and spikyL conditions filter out pivots that do not meet the spikiness criteria, which is based on ATR and moving averages.
2. Swing High and Swing Low Identification:
The script identifies and stores previous swing highs (HR_prev) and lows (LR_prev), updating them based on the current market structure.
3. Proprietary Calculation:
The propCalc input enables a proprietary calculation method for determining higher or lower levels beyond the typical Murrey Math levels, offering a more adaptive approach to price targets and support/resistance levels.
4. Murrey Math Lines (MML):
MML Calculation:
The code calculates a set of Murrey Math Lines (EightEight, FourEight, ZeroEight), which are key price levels based on the range of the price over a given time period. These levels represent major support and resistance zones, with the EightEight line indicating extremely overbought conditions and ZeroEight signaling deeply oversold conditions.
Level and Extension Lines:
The script also plots additional levels and extensions based on the range between HR and LR, representing key support/resistance levels. These levels are dynamically drawn on the chart, offering clear insights into where price might reverse or break out.
Strategy Logic:
- Breakout and Breakdown:
The Bias Box panel dynamically displays a trade bias, either suggesting to "Buy on Dip" or "Sell on Rise," depending on whether the current price is above or below the midpoint of the Murrey Math range (BEP). This bias is calculated using the market's relationship to the Murrey Math Levels.
- Buy on Dip: When the price is below the midpoint (BEP), suggesting the market is in a buying zone.
- Sell on Rise: When the price is above the midpoint, suggesting the market is in a selling zone.
- Stop-Loss and Target Hints:
The stop-loss (SL) and target levels are dynamically set based on the position relative to HR and LR:
For Buy on Dip: SL is set at LR Low, Target is set at HR High.
For sell on Rise: SL is set at HR Low, Target is set at LR High.
2. Historical and Current Levels:
The script compares the most recent Murrey Math levels with historical levels. This helps identify any shifts or changes in the market structure, enhancing the trader's ability to adapt to new trends.
- Current Levels:
The current levels are drawn from the most recent HR and LR values, with corresponding extensions showing possible breakout or breakdown zones.
- Historical Levels:
Historical levels are drawn in a "ghost" style, helping traders visualize past market conditions and potential support/resistance zones that could still influence price movement.
- Trade Examples:
Example 1: Buy on Dip
a. Scenario:
Price is below the midpoint (BEP), and the bias suggests a buy on dip.
The trader looks for a rebound from the LR Low level, with a target at the HR High.
b. Entry:
Buy when the price reaches the LR Low level.
c. Exit:
Take profit when the price hits the HR High.
d. Stop-Loss:
Place stop-loss at the LR Low.
Example 2: Sell on Rise
a. Scenario:
Price is above the midpoint (BEP), and the bias suggests a sell on rise.

DDDDD: SMI Quad Sync📄DDDDD: SMI Quad Sync
A multi-timeframe momentum synchronization indicator using 4 Stochastic Oscillators with different lengths (9, 14, 40, 60) to detect collective oversold and overbought zones.
✅ Key Features:
Plots 4 stochastic lines with vertical offsets for better visual separation.
Generates a Long Signal (green square) when all 4 stochastics are below the oversold level.
Generates a Short Signal (red square) when all 4 stochastics are above the overbought level.
Use signals to confirm multi-timeframe momentum alignment or exhaustion.
🎯 How to Use:
Look for green square → potential LONG entry: signals multi-timeframe oversold condition.
Look for red square → potential SHORT entry: signals multi-timeframe overbought condition.
Combine with trend analysis, price action, or other confirmation for optimal entries.
📝 Notes:
The plotted stochastic lines are visually shifted (offset) for clarity; signals are computed from raw, unshifted values.
Designed for traders who prefer confluence across different stochastic lookback periods to improve confidence.
👉 Ideal for scalping, swing trading, or as a momentum filter in broader strategies.
Trend Following Bundle [ActiveQuants]The Trend Following Bundle indicator is a comprehensive toolkit designed to equip traders with a suite of essential technical analysis tools focused on identifying , confirming , and capitalizing on market trends . By bundling popular indicators like Moving Averages , MACD , Supertrend , ADX , ATR , OBV , and the Choppiness Index into a single script, it streamlines chart analysis and enhances strategy development.
This bundle operates on the principle that combining signals from multiple, complementary indicators provides a more robust view of market trends than relying on a single tool. It integrates:
Trend Direction: Moving Averages, Supertrend.
Momentum: MACD.
Trend Strength: ADX.
Volume Pressure: On Balance Volume (OBV).
Volatility: Average True Range (ATR).
Market Condition Filter: Choppiness Index (Trend vs. Range).
By allowing users to selectively enable, customize, and view these indicators (potentially across different timeframes), the bundle facilitates nuanced and layered trend analysis.
█ KEY FEATURES
All-in-One Convenience: Access multiple core trend-following indicators within a single TradingView script slot.
Modular Design: Easily toggle each individual indicator (MAs, MACD, Supertrend, etc.) On or Off via the settings menu to customize your chart view.
Extensive Customization: Fine-tune parameters (lengths, sources, MA types, colors, etc.) for every included indicator to match your trading style and the specific asset.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability: Configure each indicator component to analyze data from a different timeframe than the chart's, allowing for higher-level trend context.
Integrated Alerts: Pre-built alert conditions for key events like Moving Average crossovers , MACD signals , Supertrend flips , and Choppiness Index threshold crosses . Easily set up alerts through TradingView's alert system.
When configuring your alerts in TradingView, pay close attention to the trigger option:
- Setting it to " Only Once " will trigger the alert the first time the condition is met, which might happen during an unclosed bar (intra-bar). This alert instance will then cease.
- Setting it to " Once Per Bar Close " will trigger the alert only after a bar closes if the condition was met on that finalized bar. This ensures signals are based on confirmed data and allows the alert to potentially trigger again on subsequent closing bars if the condition persists or reoccurs. Use this option for signals based on confirmed, closed-bar data.
MA Smoothing & Bands (Optional): Apply secondary smoothing or Bollinger Bands directly to the Fast and Slow Moving Averages for advanced analysis.

█ STRATEGY EXAMPLES
The following strategy examples are provided for illustrative and educational purposes only to demonstrate how indicators within this bundle could be combined. They do not constitute financial advice or trading recommendations. Always conduct your own thorough research and backtesting before implementing any trading strategy.
Here are a few ways the indicators in this bundle can be combined:
1. MA Crossover with Multi-Factor Confirmation
Goal: Enter trends early with confirmation from momentum and trend strength, while filtering out choppy conditions.
Setup: Enable Fast MA (e.g., 9 EMA), Slow MA (e.g., 50 EMA), MACD, ADX, and Choppiness Index.
Entry (Long):
- Price > Slow MA (Establishes broader uptrend context).
- Fast MA crosses above Slow MA OR Price crosses above Fast MA.
- MACD Histogram > 0 (Confirms bullish momentum).
- ADX > 20 or 25 (Indicates sufficient trend strength).
- Choppiness Index < 61.8 (Filters out excessively choppy markets).
Entry (Short): Reverse logic (except for ADX and Choppiness Index).
Management: Consider using the Supertrend or an ATR multiple for stop-loss placement.

2. Supertrend Breakout Strategy
Goal: Use Supertrend for primary signals and stops, confirming with volume and trend strength.
Setup: Enable Supertrend, Slow MA, ADX, and OBV.
Entry (Long):
- Supertrend line turns green and price closes above it.
- Price > Slow MA (Optional filter for alignment with larger trend).
- ADX is rising or above 20 (Confirms trending conditions).
- OBV is generally rising or breaks a recent resistance level (Confirms volume supporting the move).
Entry (Short): Reverse logic (except for ADX and OBV).
Management: Initial stop-loss placed just below the green Supertrend line (for longs) or above the red line (for shorts). Trail stop as Supertrend moves.

3. Trend Continuation Pullbacks
Goal: Enter established trends during pullbacks to value areas defined by MAs or Supertrend.
Setup: Enable Slow MA, Fast MA (or Supertrend), MACD, and ADX.
Entry (Long):
- Price is consistently above the Slow MA (Strong uptrend established).
- ADX > 25 (Confirms strong trend).
- Price pulls back towards the Fast MA or the green Supertrend line.
- MACD Histogram was decreasing during the pullback but turns positive again OR MACD line crosses above Signal line near the MA/Supertrend level (Indicates momentum resuming).
Entry (Short): Reverse logic (except for ADX) during a confirmed downtrend.
Management: Stop-loss below the recent swing low or the Slow MA/Supertrend level.

█ CONCLUSION
The Trend Following Bundle offers a powerful and flexible solution for traders focused on trend-based strategies. By consolidating essential indicators into one script with deep customization, multi-timeframe analysis, and built-in alerts, it simplifies the analytical workflow and allows for the development of robust, multi-conditional trading systems. Whether used for confirming entries, identifying trend strength, managing risk, or filtering market conditions, this bundle provides a versatile foundation for technical analysis.
█ IMPORTANT NOTES
⚠ Parameter Tuning: Indicator settings (lengths, factors, thresholds) are not one-size-fits-all. Adjust them based on the asset being traded, its typical volatility, and the timeframe you are analyzing for optimal performance. Backtesting is crucial .
⚠ Multi-Timeframe Use: Using the Timeframe input allows for powerful analysis but be mindful of potential lag, especially if Wait TF Close is disabled. Signals based on higher timeframes will update only when that higher timeframe bar closes (if Wait TF Close is enabled).
⚠ Confirmation is Key: While the bundle provides many tools, avoid relying on a single indicator's signal. Use combinations to build confluence and increase the probability of successful trades.
⚠ Chart Clarity: With many indicators available, only enable those relevant to your current strategy to avoid overwhelming your chart. Use the On/Off toggles frequently.
⚠ Confirmed Bars Only: Like most TradingView indicators, signals and plots are finalized on the close of the bar. Be cautious acting on intra-bar signals which may change before the bar closes.
█ RISK DISCLAIMER
Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The Trend Following Bundle indicator provides technical analysis tools for educational and informational purposes only; it does not constitute financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any asset. Indicator signals identify potential patterns based on historical data but do not guarantee future price movements or profitability. Always conduct your own thorough analysis, use multiple sources of information, and implement robust risk management practices before making any trading decisions. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

SwingArm ATR Trend (Blackflag FTS) + HTF Zones & Trail📐 SwingArm ATR Trend + HTF Zones | Blackflag FTS Concept
A precision-engineered volatility mapping and trend-trailing system inspired by the Blackflag FTS / SwingArm ATR methodology — now enhanced with multi-timeframe confluence, adaptive ATR zones, and Fibonacci-level support/resistance architecture.
Designed for trend traders, scalpers, and swing specialists, this tool visually defines where price is likely to pivot, trend, or exhaust — based entirely on structure and volatility, not lagging signals.
🧩 Core Logic
🔹 Adaptive Swing Zones (Current TF)
Built using Fibonacci-scaled ATR offsets from a dynamic midline (the average of the session high/low), these zones evolve with price structure:
Zone +1 / -1: Primary volatility boundaries — breakout or pullback zones.
Zone +2 / -2: Extended moves — high-momentum areas.
Zone +3 / -3: Exhaustion zones — potential reversal or take-profit areas.
Color shifts dynamically based on directional bias (bullish/bearish).
🟨 Trailing Stop (Current TF)
An adaptive trailing stopline that follows trend shifts using midline ± ATR logic.
Acts as a bias filter and exit manager.
Color-coded for clarity.
Flips based on price’s relationship to the trail.
🔶 Higher Timeframe Zones (HTF Overlay)
Optional overlay that mirrors the full structure — zones + trailing stop — from a higher timeframe of your choice.
Perfect for:
Validating local moves against macro context.
Spotting higher-timeframe traps or confluence breakouts.
🛠️ Settings & Customization
ATR Period — default is 14, but adaptable to asset volatility.
Source — usually close, but adjustable for experimentation.
Show/Hide Toggles — independently control visibility for:
Current TF zones & trail
HTF overlay
Zone Colors — full control for bullish/bearish bias on both timeframes.
Line Widths — customize to fit any chart style or background.
🎯 Real-World Trade Examples
📈 Long Trend + Pullback
Price breaks through Zone +1 with momentum.
Trail flips bullish; price holds above it.
HTF trail and zones are also bullish.
Entry: On retracement to the trail or Zone +1.
Exit: At Zone +2 or a trail break.
📉 Short Reversal
Price rejects Zone +2 with bearish candle.
Trail flips to bearish shortly after.
HTF trail confirms downtrend.
Entry: On retest of Zone +1 or failed bounce at trail.
Exit: At Zone -1/-2 or upon trail break.
🔁 Range or Fade Play
In low-trend conditions, Zones +2/-2 act as mean-reversion pivot points.
Scalp entries can be taken with tight stops near those extremes.
Avoid during clear HTF directional bias.
🧠 Trading Tips
Trend + Structure + Volatility = edge.
Let zones act as your pre-defined decision map.
Use the HTF layer to validate or fade local setups.
Great in combination with:
Price action or liquidity maps
Volume profile / OBV
Oscillators for entry timing
✅ Summary
This indicator helps you:
Stay in trends longer with smart trailing logic.
Know exactly where volatility could expand or exhaust.
Align entries with multi-timeframe structure.
Visually separate trending from ranging conditions.
It's an educational idea, and it doesn’t predict the future — it frames it with objective volatility zones so you can trade with clarity and confidence.

RunRox - Harmonic Patterns📐 RunRox - Harmonic Pattern indicator , we are pleased to present our new, built upon sophisticated logic for identifying and plotting harmonic formations directly on your charts. Significant effort and research have been invested into the development of this indicator, and now it is ready to be included in our premium indicator package.
In this post, we will provide a comprehensive overview of our indicator, describing all its key features, capabilities, and possible use cases. We strongly recommend reading the entire post thoroughly to fully understand the logic and operation behind our new Harmonic Pattern indicator.
📜 A BRIEF HISTORY
Harmonic patterns are specialized chart formations based on Fibonacci ratios, used by traders to identify potential reversal points in financial markets. Originally introduced by H.M. Gartley in the 1930s and later refined by Scott Carney, harmonic patterns became widely recognized for their effectiveness in forecasting precise turning points and market reversals. Over the years, these patterns have become an essential tool for traders employing technical analysis.
📌 INDICATOR FEATURES
Identification of 3 pattern sets:
✅ 5 Classic Chart Patterns:
Head and Shoulders, Triangle, Wedge, Flag, Double Top/Bottom
✅ 11 Harmonic Patterns:
Bat, Alternate Bat, Butterfly, Crab, Deep Crab, Gartley, Shark, Cypher, 5-0 Pattern, AB=CD, 3-Drive
✅ 10 Non-standard Harmonic Patterns:
Nen Star, White Swan, Black Swan, Anti-Bat, Anti-Butterfly, Anti-Crab, Anti-Gartley, Anti-Shark, Anti-Cypher, Anti-Nen Star
Additional features:
Built-in backtesting system
Pattern win-rate calculation
Flexible Stop Loss settings
Flexible Take Profit settings
Customizable pattern detection parameters
Advanced trailing stop functionality
Flexible notification system
And much more.
Below is a screenshot visually illustrating all the classic chart patterns that our indicator identifies on the chart.
This is how the 11 harmonic patterns visually appear on the chart.
10 Non-standard harmonic patterns visually represented on the chart.
🔸 XABCD are standard letters representing specific points used in forming harmonic patterns. The sequence always begins with the point X as the initial reference point, followed by points ABCD, which together complete the harmonic pattern.
These points are identified using a specialized method, scanning through thousands of potential points on the chart simultaneously. The indicator analyzes numerous potential formations, selecting and displaying only those patterns that meet specific validation criteria. This meticulous process ensures that only valid and accurate patterns appear on your chart, as illustrated in the screenshot below.
🔸 Ratio: Between the points XABCD, you’ll notice the “Ratio,” indicating the proportional relationships required between these points to correctly form harmonic patterns. The indicator displays a pattern on the chart only when these ratio conditions are precisely met, thereby maximizing accuracy and ensuring the validity of identified patterns. This aspect is clearly demonstrated in the screenshot below.
🔸 TP and SL levels: For each identified pattern, we also display recommended Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels directly on the chart. Additionally, we provide a suggested entry price (Entry Level). It is important to note that entering a trade requires the price to retrace into the specified Entry Level zone. Therefore, you must wait until the price returns to this zone for the pattern to be considered fully formed and ready for entry.
Using the Butterfly pattern as an example, we’ve illustrated all the key components of a pattern. Our indicator offers extensive customization, allowing you to finely adjust everything from the acceptable Ratio ranges to Stop Loss and Take Profit levels, among many other parameters. Below, we’ll discuss the indicator’s capabilities and its customizable settings in detail.
📶 ACTIVE PATTERNS PANEL
In the screenshot above, you can see the panel displaying all active patterns currently formed on the chart, including the pattern direction, entry price, two take profit levels, and the stop loss level. This provides a quick and clear overview of the available patterns on your chart, significantly speeding up your trading process.
Additionally, you can fully customize this panel, adjusting its position, size, or even completely removing it if you prefer.
📊 PATTERN STATISTICS
The Pattern Statistics Panel displays historical performance results for all patterns. The indicator automatically performs backtesting for each pattern based on historical data, taking into account all user-defined settings. Results are conveniently presented in this panel.
This feature is highly practical as it allows you to quickly evaluate the effectiveness of each pattern directly on your chart. As a result, you can easily identify which patterns are performing best and which patterns might be less effective and therefore unsuitable for trading on the current instrument.
Furthermore, the panel organizes patterns into specific categories Classical, Harmonic, and Anti-Harmonic and separates results by trade direction (Long or Short). This helps you quickly determine the optimal trading direction for each pattern category.
⚙️ INDICATOR SETTINGS
Now, it’s time to discuss the indicator settings in detail and describe all the available options and features that you can customize according to your preferences.
🔶 Detection Settings
In the screenshot above, you see the first settings block with the following options:
FastMode – When activated, only patterns are displayed on the chart, without the results table. This significantly speeds up the pattern rendering process and makes the script run faster.
Error % – Allows you to specify a permissible deviation from the ideal XABCD parameters. By increasing this percentage, the indicator will detect more patterns, but they will deviate from the ideal ratio proportions by the percentage you’ve set.
Search Priority – Choose between “Large First” or “Small First” pattern prioritization. With “Large First,” the indicator prioritizes detecting larger patterns first; smaller patterns are only displayed if no suitable large patterns are available, and vice versa.
ZigZag Period – Determines the period for the ZigZag structure used as a foundation for pattern detection. It’s an essential parameter that directly affects the number and quality of detected patterns.
Pattern Size – Specify the desired size of patterns in terms of the number of bars on the chart.
Remove patterns older than, bars – Allows you to remove old patterns from the chart and prevent their display if they formed more than a set number of bars ago (default is 200 bars).
🔶 Entry / Target / StopLoss Settings
In the screenshot above, you can see the settings related to configuring your preferred entry points, target levels, and stop-loss strategies. Below is a detailed explanation of each option:
Trade Direction – Both / Long / Short - Choose the direction in which you want to trade. Selecting “Both” will search for patterns in both directions, while “Long” or “Short” will filter the patterns to show only those that align with the selected direction.
Entry % - This sets the entry level as a percentage of the pattern’s total size. It determines how far from the pattern’s starting point the entry will be placed.
Target 1 - Also defined as a percentage of the pattern size. This represents the distance from the entry point to the first take profit level.
Target 2 - Optionally, you can enable a second take profit level and set the percentage distance for it.
Stop-Loss Type - Choose from six different stop-loss types: Invalidation Price, Last Pivot, %, % of pattern size, Pips, or Risk/Reward ratio. Each provides flexibility depending on your trading style.
Stop-Loss SL Value - This is the specific value related to the chosen stop-loss type. For example, if you choose the “%” type, this setting will define the percentage used to place the Stop Loss level.
Using the Shark pattern as an example, let’s demonstrate how the entry, target, and stop-loss levels function. Based on the overall size of the pattern, you can input the desired percentage values for your trade entry, target, and stop-loss levels, and the indicator will automatically calculate their exact placement relative to the pattern’s structure.
You can also choose alternative stop-loss methods, such as Risk/Reward, in which case the stop-loss will be dynamically calculated based on the risk-to-reward ratio you define.
It’s also important to note that for harmonic patterns, the height of the pattern is calculated based on the segment from point C to point D. However, for the Black Swan pattern, the measurement is taken from point A to point D. This distinction should be kept in mind when configuring your stop-loss levels.
Additionally, classic patterns each have their own unique method for calculating pattern height, depending on the specific structure.
🔶 Trailing Stop Settings
These settings are designed to help improve your strategy’s results, especially if you use break-even stop-loss adjustments after reaching specific targets, which can help increase your win rate.
Move SL to Break-even after reaching Target 1 - Enabling this option will automatically move the stop-loss to the entry level (break-even) once the price hits the first target (Target 1).
Trailing Stop Type - Choose from three trailing stop types: Percentage (%), % of pattern size, Pips
Trailing Stop Value - Enter the desired value for the chosen trailing stop type. For example, if you selected %, the number entered will be treated as a percentage. If you chose Pips, it will be the number of pips for the trailing stop.
Enable Trailing Stop at reaching - This setting defines when the trailing stop should be activated. You can choose from four options: Target 1, %, % of pattern size, Pips
Trailing After Value - This works in combination with the previous setting. If you choose one of the three non-Target options, this field lets you enter the specific value that will trigger the trailing stop.
🔶 Display Settings
In the screenshot above, you can see the Display Settings section, which allows you to fully customize the visual appearance of patterns on your chart according to your preferences.
You can choose to show or hide pattern labels (XABCD), ratio values, entry/TP/SL levels, and pattern fill for better visual clarity.
Additionally, you can set the maximum number of active patterns displayed on the chart, as well as view the historical formations of any specific pattern to analyze how it appeared in past price action.
🔶 Dashboard | Pattern Table
In the screenshot above, you can see the settings for two tables: one displaying the results of each pattern , and the other showing active patterns currently on the chart. Both tables offer flexible customization options, allowing you to adjust their color schemes, sizes, and on-screen positions to best fit your workflow.
🔶 Patterns Setting
For each individual pattern, you can customize its appearance by selecting your preferred color , adjusting its transparency , or even hiding it entirely from the chart if you don’t wish to display it.
🔶 Notifications
You can easily configure notifications for various events, such as the appearance of a new pattern or when the price reaches the entry level of a trade.
Additionally, a dedicated panel allows you to use macros for advanced customization of your alerts, so you can tailor the notifications exactly to your needs and trading style.
List of Supported Placeholders:
{{event}} - Event name ('New Pattern', 'Target 1', etc.)
{{pattern}} - Pattern name ('Bat', 'Crab', etc.)
{{event_price}} - Event Price (entry price for entry event, sl price for sl event, etc.)

SMT SwiftEdge PowerhouseSMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse: Precision Trading with Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones
The SMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse is a powerful trading tool designed to help traders identify high-probability entry points during the most active market sessions—London and New York. By combining Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Zones, this script provides a unique and cohesive strategy for capturing market reversals with precision. Whether you're a scalper or a swing trader, this indicator offers clear visual signals to enhance your trading decisions on any timeframe.
What Does This Script Do?
This script integrates three key concepts to identify potential trading opportunities:
SMT Divergence:
SMT Divergence compares the price action of two correlated assets (e.g., Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures) to detect hidden market reversals. When one asset makes a higher high while the other makes a lower high (bearish divergence), or one makes a lower low while the other makes a higher low (bullish divergence), it signals a potential reversal. This technique leverages institutional "smart money" behavior to anticipate market shifts.
Liquidity Grabs:
Liquidity Grabs occur when price breaks above recent highs or below recent lows on higher timeframes (5m and 15m), often triggering stop-loss orders from retail traders. These breakouts are identified using pivot points and confirm institutional activity, setting the stage for a reversal. The script focuses on liquidity grabs during the London and New York sessions for maximum market activity.
Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Zones:
OTE Zones are Fibonacci-based retracement areas (e.g., 61.8%) calculated after a liquidity grab. These zones highlight where price is likely to retrace before continuing in the direction of the reversal, offering a high-probability entry point. The script adjusts the width of these zones using the Average True Range (ATR) to adapt to market volatility.
By combining these components, the script identifies when institutional activity (liquidity grabs) aligns with market reversals (SMT divergence) and pinpoints precise entry points (OTE zones) during high-liquidity sessions.
Why Combine These Components?
The integration of SMT Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones creates a robust trading system for several reasons:
Synergy of Institutional Signals: SMT Divergence and Liquidity Grabs both reflect "smart money" behavior—divergence shows hidden reversals, while liquidity grabs confirm institutional intent to trap retail traders. Together, they provide a strong foundation for identifying high-probability setups.
Session-Based Precision: Focusing on the London and New York sessions ensures signals occur during periods of high volatility and liquidity, increasing their reliability.
Precision Entries with OTE: After confirming a setup with divergence and liquidity grabs, OTE zones provide a clear entry area, reducing guesswork and improving trade accuracy.
Adaptability: The script works on any timeframe, with adjustable settings for signal sensitivity, session times, and Fibonacci levels, making it versatile for different trading styles.
This combination makes the script unique by aligning institutional insights with actionable entry points, tailored to the most active market hours.
How to Use the Script
Setup:
Add the script to your chart (works on any timeframe, e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m).
Configure the settings in the indicator's inputs:
Session Settings: Adjust the start/end times for London and New York sessions (default: London 8-11 UTC, New York 13-16 UTC). You can disable session restrictions if desired.
Asset Settings: Set the primary and secondary assets for SMT Divergence (default: NQ1! and ES1!). Ensure the assets are correlated.
Signal Settings: Adjust the lookback period, ATR period, and signal sensitivity (Low/Medium/High) to control the frequency of signals.
OTE Settings: Choose the Fibonacci level for OTE zones (default: 61.8%).
Visual Settings: Enable/disable OTE zones, SMT labels, and debug labels for troubleshooting.
Interpreting Signals:
Blue Circles: Indicate a liquidity grab (price breaking a 5m or 15m pivot high/low), marking the start of a potential setup.
Blue OTE Zones: Appear after a liquidity grab, showing the retracement area (e.g., 61.8% Fibonacci level) where price is likely to enter for a reversal trade. The label "OTE Trigger 5m/15m" confirms the direction (Short/Long) and session.
Green/Red Entry Boxes: Mark precise entry points when price enters the OTE zone and confirms the SMT Divergence. Green boxes indicate a long entry, red boxes a short entry.
Trading Example:
On a 1m chart, a blue circle appears when price breaks a 5m pivot high during the London session.
A blue OTE zone forms, showing a retracement area (e.g., 61.8% Fibonacci level) with the label "OTE Trigger 5m/15m (Short, London)".
Price retraces into the OTE zone, and a red "Short Entry" box appears, confirming a bearish SMT Divergence.
Enter a short trade at the red box, with a stop-loss above the OTE zone and a take-profit at the next support level.
Originality and Utility
The SMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse stands out by merging SMT Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones into a single, session-focused indicator. Unlike traditional indicators that focus on one aspect of price action, this script combines institutional reversal signals with precise entry zones, tailored to the most active market hours. Its adaptability across timeframes, customizable settings, and clear visual cues make it a versatile tool for traders seeking to capitalize on smart money movements with confidence.
Tips for Best Results
Use on correlated assets like NQ1! (Nasdaq futures) and ES1! (S&P 500 futures) for accurate SMT Divergence.
Test on lower timeframes (1m, 5m) for scalping or higher timeframes (15m, 1H) for swing trading.
Adjust the "Signal Sensitivity" to "High" for more signals or "Low" for fewer, high-quality setups.
Enable "Show Debug Labels" if signals are not appearing as expected, to troubleshoot pivot points and liquidity grabs.
HL2 Moving Average with BandsThis indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying potential trade entries and exits for S&P 500 (ES) and Nasdaq-100 (NQ) futures. It calculates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) based on the HL2 value (average of high and low prices) of the current candle over a user-defined lookback period (default: 200 periods). The indicator plots this SMA as a blue line, providing a smoothed reference for price trends.
Additionally, it includes upper and lower bands calculated as a percentage (default: 0.5%) above and below the SMA, plotted as green and red lines, respectively. These bands act as dynamic thresholds to identify overbought or oversold conditions. The indicator generates trade signals based on price action relative to these bands:
Long Entry: A green upward triangle is plotted below the candle when the close crosses above the upper band, signaling a potential buy.
Close Long: A red square is plotted above the candle when the close crosses back below the upper band, indicating an exit for the long position.
Short Entry: A red downward triangle is plotted above the candle when the close crosses below the lower band, signaling a potential sell.
Close Short: A green square is plotted below the candle when the close crosses back above the lower band, indicating an exit for the short position.
The script is customizable, allowing users to adjust the SMA length and band percentage to suit their trading style or market conditions. It is plotted as an overlay on the price chart for easy integration with other technical analysis tools.
Recommended Time Frame and Settings for Trading S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 Futures
Based on research and market dynamics for S&P 500 (ES) and Nasdaq-100 (NQ) futures, the 5-minute chart is recommended as the optimal time frame for day trading with this indicator. This time frame strikes a balance between capturing intraday trends and filtering out excessive noise, which is critical for futures trading due to their high volatility and leverage. The 5-minute chart aligns well with periods of high liquidity and volatility, such as the U.S. market open (9:30 AM–11:00 AM EST) and the afternoon session (2:00 PM–4:00 PM EST), when institutional traders are most active.
Why 5-minute? It allows traders to react to short-term price movements while avoiding the rapid fluctuations of 1-minute charts, which can be prone to false signals in choppy markets. It also provides enough data points to make the SMA and bands meaningful without the lag associated with longer time frames like 15-minute or hourly charts.
Recommended Settings
SMA Length: Set to 200 periods. This longer lookback period smooths the HL2 data, reducing noise and providing a reliable trend reference for the 5-minute chart. A 200-period SMA helps identify significant trend shifts without being overly sensitive to minor price fluctuations.
Band Percentage: 0.5% is more suitable for the volatility of ES and NQ futures on a 5-minute chart, as it generates fewer but higher-probability signals. Wider bands (e.g., 1%) may miss short-term opportunities, while narrower bands (e.g., 0.1%) may produce excessive false signals.
Trading Session Recommendations
Futures markets for ES and NQ are open nearly 24 hours (Sunday 6:00 PM EST to Friday 5:00 PM EST, with a daily break from 4:00 PM–5:00 PM EST), but not all hours are equally optimal due to varying liquidity and volatility. The best times to trade with this indicator are:
U.S. Market Open (9:30 AM–11:00 AM EST): This period is characterized by high volume and volatility, driven by the opening of U.S. equity markets and economic data releases (e.g., 8:30 AM EST reports like CPI or GDP). The indicator’s signals are more reliable during this window due to strong order flow and price momentum.
Afternoon Session (2:00 PM–4:00 PM EST): After the lunchtime lull, volume picks up as institutional traders return, and news or FOMC announcements often drive price action. The indicator can capture breakout moves as prices test the upper or lower bands.
Pre-Market (7:30 AM–9:30 AM EST): For traders comfortable with lower liquidity, this period can offer opportunities, especially around 8:30 AM EST economic releases. However, use tighter risk management due to wider spreads and potential volatility spikes.
Additional Tips
Avoid Low-Volume Periods: Steer clear of trading during low-liquidity hours, such as the overnight session (11:00 PM–3:00 AM EST), when spreads widen and price movements can be erratic, leading to false signals from the indicator.
Combine with Other Tools: Enhance the indicator’s effectiveness by pairing it with support/resistance levels, Fibonacci retracements, or volume analysis to confirm signals. For example, a long entry signal above the upper band is stronger if it coincides with a breakout above a key resistance level.
Risk Management: Given the leverage in futures (e.g., Micro E-mini contracts require ~$1,200 margin for ES), use tight stop-losses (e.g., below the lower band for longs or above the upper band for shorts) to manage risk. Aim for a risk-reward ratio of at least 1:2.
Test Settings: Backtest the indicator on a demo account to optimize the SMA length and band percentage for your specific trading style and risk tolerance. Micro E-mini contracts (MES for S&P 500, MNQ for Nasdaq-100) are ideal for testing due to their lower capital requirements.
Why These Settings and Time Frame?
The 5-minute chart with a 200-period SMA and 0.5% bands is tailored for the volatility and liquidity of ES and NQ futures during peak trading hours. The longer SMA period ensures the indicator captures meaningful trends, while the 0.5% bands are tight enough to signal actionable breakouts but wide enough to avoid excessive whipsaws. Trading during high-volume sessions maximizes the likelihood of valid signals, as institutional participation drives clearer price action.
By focusing on these settings and time frames, traders can leverage the indicator to capitalize on the dynamic price movements of S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures while managing the inherent risks of these markets.
Pivot Levels with EMA Trend📌 Trend Change Levels with EMA Trend
✨ Description:
This TradingView script identifies clean trend change levels based on 1-hour structure shifts and filters them to keep only those not invalidated. It follows the "Jake Ricci" method, each level is printed at the beginning of the candle that changes the trend, on a 1 hour chart. For precision, make sure to exclude after/pre market and only use the levels on regular hours charts.
It includes dynamic EMAs (9, 50, 200), intraday VWAP, the daily open level printed, and a visual trend label based on EMA(9) slope.
Designed for intermediate traders, it helps build bias, manage entries, and avoid false setups by focusing on clean, reactive levels that the market respects.
🔧 Core Logic:
On the 1H chart, the script compares current and previous closes to detect trend direction. If the trend flips (e.g., up to down), the open of the candle that caused the flip becomes a candidate level.
Only levels that remain untouched by future candle closes are plotted — this filters out “weak” levels that price already violated (which means, a candle closes after passing through the level).
These levels become key S/R zones and often act as reaction points during pullbacks, traps, and liquidity sweeps.
The idea is to check how the price reacts to those levels. Usually there's a clean retest of the level. After that, if the price continues in that direction, it tends to reach the following level.
🔹 Included Tools:
🟣 Trend Change Levels (1H):
Fixed horizontal lines based on confirmed shifts in trend, shown only when not broken.
📉 EMAs (9 / 50 / 200):
Visibility can be set per timeframe. Use for trend context.
📍 EMA Trend Label:
Shows \"UP\", \"DOWN\", or \"RANGE\" based on EMA(9) slope.
🔵 VWAP (Intraday Reset):
Real-time volume-weighted average price that resets daily. Useful for fair value zones and reversion plays.
🟠 Daily Open Line:
Plot of the current day’s open. Used for intraday directional bias. Usually: DO NOT take longs below the Open Print, DO NOT take shorts above it.
📊 ATR Table:
Displays current ATR multiplier on the chart. It's useful to understand if the market is expanding or not.
📈 How to Use It (Strategy):
1. Start on the 1H chart to generate levels.
Only the open of candles that reversed trend are considered — and only if future candles didn’t close through them. I suggest manually adding horizontal lines to mark again the levels, so that they stick to all the timeframes.
2. Use the trend label to decide your bias — \"UP\" for long setups, \"DOWN\" for shorts. Avoid trading against the slope.
3. Switch to the 5m chart and wait for price to approach a plotted level. These are often used for manipulation, retests, or clean reversals.
4. Look for confirmation: rejection candles, break-and-retest, strong engulfing candles, or traps above/below the level. ALWAYS check the price action around the level, along with the volume.
5. Check if VWAP or an EMA is near the level. If yes, the confluence strengthens the trade idea.
6. Use the ATR value to understand if the market is expanding (candles are bigger than the ATR). You don't want to stay in a slow and ranging trade.
✅ Example Entry Flow:
1. On the 1H chart, note a trend change level printed recently.
2. Check the current trend label — if it says \"UP,\" prefer longs.
3. Wait for price to retrace toward the level.
4. On the 5m, look for a bullish engulfing candle or trap setup at the level.
5. Check if VWAP and EMA(50) are near. If yes, execute the trade.
6. Set stop just under the low of the candle prior to your entry. Ideally, a retracing candle.
To be clear: imaging to be LONG, you wait for a retracement that should touch your level. You wait for a candle that resumes the LONG trend, enter when it breaks the high of the previous candle (sill in retracement), you place your stop under the candle prior to your entry.
Notes:
No repainting — levels only show up after confirmed shifts.
Removes broken levels for chart clarity and reliability.
Helps spot high-probability pullback zones and fakeouts.
Perfect confluence tool to support price action, SMC, or EMA strategies.
Works across multiple timeframes with customizable inputs.
👤 Ideal For:
Intraday traders looking for reactive entry points and direction confirmation.
Swing traders wanting to pinpoint continuation zones or reversal pivots.
🚨 Final Note: This indicator doesn’t generate buy/sell signals. It improves your trade filtering by identifying areas the market already respected and reacting to them with price action. Combine it with your own system , test it in replay, and use screenshots to document setups.
📌 If used with discipline, this becomes a precision tool — not a signal generator.

Heiken Ashi Supertrend ADXHeiken Ashi Supertrend ADX Indicator
Overview
This indicator combines the power of Heiken Ashi candles, Supertrend indicator, and ADX filter to identify strong trend movements across multiple timeframes. Designed primarily for the cryptocurrency market but adaptable to any tradable asset, this system focuses on capturing momentum in established trends while employing a sophisticated triple-layer stop loss mechanism to protect capital and secure profits.
Strategy Mechanics
Entry Signals
The strategy uses a unique blend of technical signals to identify high-probability trade entries:
Heiken Ashi Candles: Looks specifically for Heiken Ashi candles with minimal or no wicks, which signal strong momentum and trend continuation. These "full-bodied" candles represent periods where price moved decisively in one direction with minimal retracement. These are overlayed onto normal candes for more accuarte signalling and plotting
Supertrend Filter: Confirms the underlying trend direction using the Supertrend indicator (default factor: 3.0, ATR period: 10). Entries are aligned with the prevailing Supertrend direction.
ADX Filter (Optional) : Can be enabled to focus only on stronger trending conditions, filtering out choppy or ranging markets. When enabled, trades only trigger when ADX is above the specified threshold (default: 25).
Exit Signals
Positions are closed when either:
An opposing signal appears (Heiken Ashi candle with no wick in the opposite direction)
Any of the three stop loss mechanisms are triggered
Triple-Layer Stop Loss System
The strategy employs a sophisticated three-tier stop loss approach:
ATR Trailing Stop: Adapts to market volatility and locks in profits as the trend extends. This stop moves in the direction of the trade, capturing profit without exiting too early during normal price fluctuations.
Swing Point Stop: Uses natural market structure (recent highs/lows over a lookback period) to place stops at logical support/resistance levels, honoring the market's own rhythm.
Insurance Stop: A percentage-based safety net that protects against sudden adverse moves immediately after entry. This is particularly valuable when the swing point stop might be positioned too far from entry, providing immediate capital protection.
Optimization Features
Customizable Filters : All components (Supertrend, ADX) can be enabled/disabled to adapt to different market conditions
Adjustable Parameters : Fine-tune ATR periods, Supertrend factors, and ADX thresholds
Flexible Stop Loss Settings : Each of the three stop loss mechanisms can be individually enabled/disabled with customizable parameters
Best Practices for Implementation
[Recommended Timeframes : Works best on 4-hour charts and above, where trends develop more reliably
Market Conditions: Performs well across various market conditions due to the ADX filter's ability to identify meaningful trends
Performance Characteristics
When properly optimized, this has demonstrated profit factors exceeding 3 in backtesting. The approach typically produces generous winners while limiting losses through its multi-layered stop loss system. The ATR trailing stop is particularly effective at capturing extended trends, while the insurance stop provides immediate protection against adverse moves.
The visual components on the chart make it easy to follow the strategy's logic, with position status, entry prices, and current stop levels clearly displayed.
This indicator represents a complete trading system with clearly defined entry and exit rules, adaptive stop loss mechanisms, and built-in risk management through position sizing.
