RexDog Average with ATRBam-- look what Rex did. A RexDog Average with ATR bands-- he's going insane. Simple but powerful.
This indicator includes the RexDog average but provides you with the ability to plot (and customize) both above and below ATR calculated bands.
With this indicator you can display all 3 or any combination of the bands: the RexDog Avg, Adding ATR Upper or the Subtracting ATR Below.
To remove a plot or customize color and line size go to the style options.
Before we get detailed with this version you can customize the default average factor of the RexDog Avg (default is 6). More tips on this below.
How This Works
Just as with the RexDog Average we take the 6 ATR data points (200, 100, 50, 24, 9, 5). We then create an average by dividing by 6. But wait there's more...
With this indicator you can customize independently the above and below bands via a float value for precision. 6 is the default (you can customize by increments at 0.25 or input value you like 1-20).
Now this works opposite how you might think but you'll get it once you start changing the numbers. For instance, editing the above band lowering the ATR factor will raise the band.
RexDog Avg Factor
With this release you are able to change the default average factor (6) to anything you want. You'll find though going too high or low from the default won't get the best results. The default increment change is 0.1 but you can enter any float value you like between 1-20.
The Original RexDog Average Overview
Yes, simple—the RexDog Average is a bias moving average indicator. The purpose is to provide the overall momentum bias you should have when trading an instrument. It works across all markets and all timeframes.
Usage:
Price above the RexDog AVG = long momentum bias
Price below the RexDog AVG = short momentum bias
With the ATR addition most likely your usage will be similar to Bollinger Bands. While not the same as in deviations much of the same principles might apply, especially with customization.
*Note: we have banned the word “trend” in the RexDog Trading Method.
Additional Usage Advice:
If price rips through the average your momentum bias should probably change. 80% of the time when price moves through the RexDog Average it will come back and test the area around average within 1-2 bars. 20% of the time it does not. The momentum is so strong in that direction so look for a 50-70% tests of the bar that impulse through the RexDog Average.
If you are using the RexDog Trading Method by default if the price is above the average and you are short you are in a fade trade. The momentum trade would be long. Of course reverse if price is below.
On multiple time frames. Of course, one timeframe can be long bias and a lower timeframe can be short bias. Which one do you use? Both—if your in a short trade using lower timeframe and with the bias of the average your in a momentum trade—but on the higher timeframe your aware you are essential fading the overall momentum.
Background:
Rex and I searched high and low for one simple thing. A moving average (or combination of some) that we could use to form our momentum bias that worked for all timeframes and all markets we trade.
We tried and tested them all. Even went down the path of ribbons and various other types of hybrid EMA /MA derivatives. Nothing had a high enough accuracy or mathematically was reliable that we could say with a high probability that it was on the right side of the momentum.
We almost stopped and landed on using the true and tested 200 MA—but we found through extensive tests that using the 200MA or EMA you’re often late to the party. Look you don’t need to be the first one in the trade but having a heads up sure helps.
To quote one of the best financial movies of the modern era—Margin Call:
“There are three ways to make a living in this business: be first, be smarter, or cheat… it sure is a hell of a lot easier to be first”. The RexDog Average used properly enables you to be first or damn near close.
Under the Hood:
This is so simple most reading this will discount it. You might even scoff and berate Rex for wasting your time. But you would be wrong. The RexDog Average has been tested across all markets—FOREX, Crypto, Equities, Futures (even tick charts), and even the Penguin population in Antarctica.
The RexDog Average is an average of 6 simple moving averages: 200, 100, 50, 24, 9, 5.
Yes, that’s it.

Simple Portfolio TrackerThis is just a simple portfolio tracker that i started to play around with - i'm sure there are smarter ways to do this, but i chose the simpler way :) -- please feel free to use this, or consider it as a starting point to your own indicator.
i will come back later and add some more stuff once i get time. for example, show the total value, recent change, P&L % ..etc
So the simple idea is to track a portfolio of few positions and watch how the total portfolio and the PnL changes over time as the price of the individual holdings move up and down. it can be added to any chart.
The code is currently set to track 5 positions - settings allow to enter if the positions is used or not, symbol, amount and cost price..
** note: more positions can be added by editing the code and copying and pasting the marked "position block" that contains the input statements and the calculations, then changing/replacing the position identifier (_1, _2, ..etc) in all variables with new number..
--- don't forget to add these extra positions you insert in the code to the formula lines that calculate the totals
i tried to make this as easy as possible in the code. the code includes a sample portfolio as default values just to help "demo" how this works
the input is made easy, thanks to the recent addition of the "inline" feature in the input() statement
i don't know if some traders will find this useful ?? or if more about how to use it is needed.. let me know in the comments.. as i mentioned, i was just playing with the idea over the weekend so didn't really put a lot of work into it.
Credits and thanks to @boji1 for inspiring this :)
VPA ANALYSIS VPA Analysis provide the indications for various conditions as per the Volume Spread Analysis concept. The various legends are provided below
LEGEND DETAILS
UT1 - Upthrust Bar: This will be widespread Bar on high Volume closing on the low. This normally happens after an up move. Here the smart money move the price to the High and then quickly brings to the Low trapping many retail trader who rushed into in order not to miss the bullish move. This is a bearish Signal
UT2 -Upthrust Bar Confirmation: A widespread Down Bar following a Upthrust Bar. This confirms the weakness of the Upthrust Bar. Expect the stock to move down
Confirms . This is a Bearish Signal

Pinescript v4 - The Holy Grail (Trailing Stop)After studying several other scripts, I believe I have found the Holy Grail! (Or perhaps I've just found a bug with Tradingview's Pinescript v4 language) Anyhow, I'm publishing this script in the hope that someone smarter than myself could shed some light on the fact that adding a trailing stop to any strategy seems to make it miraculously...no that's an understatement...incredulously, stupendously, mind-bendingly profitable. I'm talking about INSANE profit factors, higher than 200x, with drawdowns of <10%. Sounds too good to be true? Maybe it is...or you could hook it up to your LIVE broker, and pray it doesn't explode. This is an upgraded version of my original Pin Bar Strategy.
Recommended Chart Settings:
Asset Class: Forex
Time Frame: H1
Long Entry Conditions:
a) Exponential Moving Average Fan up trend
b) Presence of a Bullish Pin Bar
c) Pin Bar pierces the Exponential Moving Average Fan
Short Entry Conditions:

b) Presence of a Bearish Pin Bar
c) Pin Bar pierces the Exponential Moving Average Fan
Exit Conditions:
a) Trailing stop is hit
b) Moving Averages cross-back (optional)
c) It's the weekend
Default Robot Settings:
Equity Risk (%): 3 //how much account balance to risk per trade
Stop Loss (x*ATR, Float): 0.5 //stoploss = x * ATR, you can change x
Stop Loss Trail Points (Pips): 1 //the magic sauce, not sure how this works
Stop Loss Trail Offset (Pips): 1 //the magic sauce, not sure how this works
Slow SMA (Period): 50 //slow moving average period
Medium EMA (Period): 18 //medium exponential moving average period
Fast EMA (Period): 6 //fast exponential moving average period
ATR (Period): 14 // average true range period

Backtest Results (2019 to 2020, H1, Default Settings):
AUDUSD - 1604% profit, 239.6 profit factor, 4.9% drawdown (INSANE)
NZDUSD - 1688.7% profit, 100.3 profit factor, 2.5% drawdown
GBPUSD - 1168.8% profit, 98.7 profit factor, 0% drawdown
USDJPY - 900.7% profit, 93.7 profit factor, 4.9% drawdown
USDCAD - 819% profit, 31.7 profit factor, 8.1% drawdown
EURUSD - 685.6% profit, 26.8 profit factor, 5.9% drawdown
USDCHF - 1008% profit, 18.7 profit factor, 8.6% drawdown
GBPJPY - 1173.4% profit, 16.1 profit factor, 7.9% drawdown
EURAUD - 613.3% profit, 14.4 profit factor, 9.8% drawdown
AUDJPY - 1619% profit, 11.26 profit factor, 9.1% drawdown
EURJPY - 897.2% profit, 6 profit factor, 13.8% drawdown
EURGBP - 608.9% profit, 5.3 profit factor, 9.8% drawdown (NOT TOO SHABBY)
As you can clearly see above, this forex robot is projected by the Tradingview backtester to be INSANELY profitable for all common forex pairs. So what was the difference between this strategy and my previous strategies? Check my code and look for "trail_points" and "trail_offset"; you can even look them up in the PineScript v4 documentation. They specify a trailing stop as the exit condition, which automatically closes the trade if price reverses against you.
I however suspect that the backtester is not properly calculating intra-bar price movement, and is using a simplified model. With this simplfied approach, the trailing stop code becomes some sort of "holy grail" generator, making every trade entered profitable.
Risk Warning:
This is a forex trading strategy that involves high risk of equity loss, and backtest performance will not equal future results. You agree to use this script at your own risk.
Hint:
To get more realistic results, and *maybe* overcome the intrabar simulation error, change the settings to: "Stop Loss Trail Points (pips)": 100
I am not sure if this eradicates the bug, but the entries and exits look more proper, and the profit factors are more believable.
Trend M ver1this simple tool a helper for trader in order to put your target at the correct places:)
so script based on Trend M (open script in my page)
the script based on non security MTF that allow us to detect the M = mean average of resistance and support by MTF
best setting is either monthly or weekly
when you go on lower chart just put in the min the exact TF that you on. 60 min =60
2 hour 120
5 min =5
etc
when ever the trend is above the mean or M then it bullish =lime color. bellow the M is bearish =red color
the R1 and S level are % from the mean . so it can act for us either target or as stop loss
you can set the R1 or S1 as you like by % ratio . so 0.01 is 1%
0.1 is 10 % etc
all you need to find is the weekly or monthly range of the asset then put the % ratio that you wish up or down
you can use it with trend lines or other method .it just another tool to make you trade smarter
Resampling Reverse Engineering Bands [DW]This is an experimental study designed to reverse engineer price levels from centered oscillators at user defined sample rates.
This study aims to educate users on the process of oscillator reverse engineering, and to give users an alternative perspective on some of the most commonly used oscillators in the trading game.
Reverse engineering price levels from an oscillator is actually a rather simple, straightforward process.
Rather than plugging price values into a function to solve for oscillator values, we rearrange the function using some basic algebraic operations and plug in a specified oscillator value to solve for price values instead.
This process tells us what price value is needed in order for the oscillator to equal a certain value.
For example, if you wanted to know what price value would be considered “overbought” or “oversold” according to your oscillator, you can do that using this process.
In this study, the reverse engineering functions are used to calculate the price values of user defined high and low oscillator thresholds, and the price values for the oscillator center.
This allows you to visualize what prices will trigger thresholds as a sort of confidence interval, which is information that isn't inherently available when simply analyzing the oscillator directly.
This script is equipped with three reverse engineering functions to choose from for calculating the band values:
-> Reverse Relative Strength Index (RRSI)
-> Reverse Stochastic Oscillator (RStoch)
-> Reverse Commodity Channel Index (RCCI)
You can easily select the function you want to utilize from the "Band Calculation Type" dropdown tab.
These functions are specially designed to calculate at any sample rate (up to 1 bar per sample) utilizing the process of downsampling that I introduced in my Resampling Filter Pack.
The sample rate can be determined with any of these three methods:
-> BPS - Resamples based on the number of bars.
-> Interval - Resamples based on time in multiples of current charting timeframe.
-> PA - Resamples based on changes in price action by a specified size. The PA algorithm in this script is derived from my Range Filter algorithm.
The range for PA method can be sized in points, pips, ticks, % of price, ATR, average change, and absolute quantity.
Utilizing downsampled rates allows you to visualize the reverse engineered values of an oscillator calculated at larger sample scales.
This can be rather beneficial for trend analysis since lower sample rates completely remove certain levels of noise.
By default, the sample rate is set to 1 BPS, which is the same as bar-to-bar calculation. Feel free to experiment with the sample rate parameters and configure them how you like.
Custom bar colors are included as well. The color scheme is based on disparity between sources and the reverse engineered center level.
In addition, background highlights are included to indicate when price is outside the bands, thus indicating "overbought" and "oversold" conditions according to the thresholds you set.
I also included four external output variables for easy integration of signals with other scripts:
-> Trend Signals (Current Resolution Prices) - Outputs 1 for bullish and -1 for bearish based on disparity between current resolution source and the central level output.
-> Trend Signals (Resampled Prices) - Outputs 1 for bullish and -1 for bearish based on disparity between resampled source and the central level output.
-> Outside Band Signal (Current Resolution Prices) - Outputs 1 for overbought and -1 for oversold based on current resolution source being outside the bands. Returns 0 otherwise.
-> Outside Band Signal (Resampled Prices) - Outputs 1 for overbought and -1 for oversold based on resampled source being outside the bands. Returns 0 otherwise.
To use these signals with another script, simply select the corresponding external output you want to use from your script's source input dropdown tab.
Reverse engineering oscillators is a simple, yet powerful approach to incorporate into your momentum or trend analysis setup.
By incorporating projected price levels from oscillators into our analysis setups, we are able to gain valuable insights, make (potentially) smarter trading decisions, and visualize the oscillators we know and love in a totally different way.
I hope you all find this script useful and enjoyable!
Linear Regression AnalysisJust another linear regression tool to play with :)
I have to say that linear regression is one of my favorite indictor so i just try to play to show
how its we can make it smarter:)
the dashed lines are represent linear regression clone with high low and mid level shown.
the blue thin line show longer trend projection
the trend is option that can use for shorter trend
Hyper Frame Fibo MA RibbonsIntroduction
Moving averages are an integral part of the TA world. There are different types of moving averages and each person uses them depending on their strategy and market conditions.
Meanwhile, the main variable in calculating the averages is their LENGTH. This value is optional, but not every value is applicable.
After much experience in the world of financial markets, I came to the conclusion that although the most popular length values are 20, 50, 100, and 200, the Fibonacci number come with surprising results .
Description
The following script calculates seven averages with the length of Fibonacci numbers (34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377 and 610) with the formula of your choice (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA) and shows that we named it FiboMa .
You can also have Bollinger Bands with the desired frame at the same time.
This is not the whole story...
You can see the same values from smaller or larger frames at the same time!
We named this feature Hyper Frame Vision .
It is possible to display values for FiboMa up to three hyper frames (with the main frame a total of 4 levels) and in the Bollinger Bands one hyper frame (with the main frame a total of 2 levels).
By default, the display of FiboMa hyper frame values is limited to the last 10 bars, which you can change to an arbitrary value by changing the source code.
The display of hyper frame values is not limited for Bollinger Band.
What is its use? What is it good for?
Support and Resistance
Using dynamic support / resistance is much smarter than static! This protects you from the risk of many fake breaks, and your profit and loss limits will be more flexible and more efficient.
The intersection of FiboMa ribbons are potential points of support / resistance.
We use colors to easily identify supports / resistances.
Any average lower than the price is assumed as support and displayed in green, and any average above the price is assumed as resistance so displayed in red.
So the color of the averages is dynamic.
The color of FiboMa is a range from red to green. Whatever colors get saturated , the lenght is longer and the more power it has as support / resistance.
Volatility
With this script, you also have the ability to monitor the amount of market volatility ! The combination of Bollinger Bands and FiboMa provides a clear view of the market volatility.
The decrease and compression of the FiboMa width is a sign of a decrease in volatility and vice versa.
Trend
I don't see the need for additional explanation, only whenever the price is higher than the middle band , the BB cloud is green , and whenever it is lower , is red .
The wider FiboMa means the stronger trend.
How to use
In the script settings you have the ability to enable or disable anything except.

Similar scripts have been published before and we were inspired by them and tried to improve idea and code uniqe one.
I hope it will be useful .. Support us with your likes and comments .. We have anothers great script .. Just started.
BitMEX Liquidation LevelsThis indicator plots BitMEX liquidation levels:
- 25x
- 50x
- 100x
The indicator works as following:
The underlying assumption (as with all liquidation calculations) obviously is that traders used fixed margin or go "all in" on their cross-margin account.
You then can configure a minimum trade volume and a minimum price change in percent for a candle to start computing liquidation levels from that candle
Additionally: configure the price base for the liqudation level: Candle high or low (default) works well, but you can also set "candle close" or "median high/low"
The indicator will then plot horizontal lines on the main chart showing price levels where many positions opened at the configured "start candle" will likely get liquidated.
It works for all BitMEX contracts and while it has been optimized for BitMEX, it will work on other exchanges with the same leverage levels (25x, 50x, 100x) and maintenance margin requirements too.
This indicator uses the Smart Volume indicator to compute the volume at the "start volume candle" setting where the liquidation level starts. This indicator can be found here: Smart Volume:
Price-Line Channel - A Friendly Support And Resistance IndicatorIntroduction
Lines are the most widely used figures in technical analysis, this is due to the linear trends that some securities posses (daily log SP500 for example), support and resistances are also responsible for the uses of lines, basically linear support and resistances are made with the assumption that the line connecting two local maximas or minimas will help the user detect a new local maxima or minima when the price will cross the line.
Technical indicators attempting to output lines have always been a concern in technical analysis, the mostly know certainly being the linear regression, however any linear models would fit in this category. In general those indicators always reevaluate their outputs values (repainting), others non repainting indicators returning lines are sometimes to impractical to set-up. This is what has encouraged me to make a simpler indicator based on the framework used in the recursive bands indicator that i published.
The proposed indicator aim to be extremely flexible and easy to use while returning linear support and resistances, an option that allow readjustment is also introduced, thus allowing for a "smarter" indicator.
The Indicator
The indicator return two extremities, the upper one aim to detect resistance points while the lower one aim to detect support points. The length setting control the steepness of the line, with higher values of length involving a lower slope, this make the indicator less reactive and interact with the price less often.
The name "price-line" comes from the fact that the channel is dependent on its own interaction with the price, therefore a breakout methodology can also be used, where price is up-trending when crossing with the upper extremity and down trending when crossing with the lower one.
Readjusted Option
The line steepness can be readjusted based on the market volatility, it make more sense for the line to be more steep when the market is more volatile, thus making it converge faster toward the price, this of course is done at the cost of some linearity. This is achieved by checking the "readjustment" option. The effects can be shown on BTCUSD, below the indicator without the readjusted option :
when the "readjustment" option is checked we have the following results :
The volatile down movement on BTCUSd make the upper extremity converge faster toward the price, this option can be great for volatile markets.
Conclusion
The recursive bands indicator prove to be an excellent framework that allow for the creation of lots of indicators, the proposed indicator is extremely efficient and provide an easy solution for returning linear support and resistances without much drawbacks, the readjusted option allow the indicator to adapt to the market volatility at the cost of linearity.
The performance of the indicator is relative to the motion of the price, however the indicator show signs of returning accurate support and resistances points. I hope the indicator find its use in the community.
Thanks for reading !
Note
Respect the house rules, always request permission before publishing open source code. This is an original work, requesting permission is the least you can do.
T-Step LSMAIntroduction
The trend step indicator family has produced much interest in the community, those indicators showed in certain cases robustness and reactivity. Their ease of use/interpretation is also a major advantage. Although those indicators have a relatively good fit with the input price, they can still be improved by introducing least-squares fitting on their calculations. This is why i propose a new indicator (T-Step LSMA) which aim to gather all the components of the trend-step indicator family (including the auto-line family).
The indicator will use as a threshold the mean absolute error between the input and the output (T-Channel) scaled with the efficiency ratio (Efficient Trend Step) while using least squares in order to provide a better fit with the price (Auto-Filter).
The Indicator
The interpretation of the indicator is easy, the indicator estimate an up-trending market when in blue, down-trending when in orange, the signal only depend on the trend-step part ( b in the code).
length control the period of the efficiency ratio as well as any components in the lsma calculation. The efficiency ratio allow to provide adaptivity, therefore the threshold will be lower when market is trending and higher when market is ranging.
Sc control the amount of feedback of the indicator, a value of 1 will use only the closing price as input, a value of 0.5 will use 50% of the closing price/indicator output as input, this allow to get smoother results.
It is possible to get the non-smooth version of the indicator by checking "No Smoothing".
This allow the indicator to filter more information.
Least Squares Smoothing - Benefits
One could ask why introducing least squares smoothing, there are several reasons to this choice, we have seen that trend-step indicators are boxy, they filter most of the variational information in the price, introducing least squares smoothing allow to gain back some of this variational information while providing a better fit with the price, the indicator is more noisy but also more practical in certain situations.
For example the indicator in its boxy form can't really be useful as input for other indicators, which is not the case with this version.
Relative strength index of period 14 using the proposed indicator as input.
Down-Sides
The indicator is dependent on the time frame used, larger time frames resulting in an indicator overfitting, sticking with lower time frames might be ideal. The indicator behavior might also change depending on the market in which it is applied.
Setting Up Alerts For The Indicator
Alerts conditions are already set, in order to create an alert based on the indicator follow these steps :
Go to the alert section (the alarm clock) -> create new alert -> select T-Step LSMA in condition -> Below select Up or Dn (Up for a up-trending alert and Dn for a down-trending alert)
In option select "once per bar close", change the message if you want a personalized message.
Conclusion
I don't think i'll post other indicators related to the trend-step framework for the time to comes, nonetheless the ones posted proven to have interesting results as well as many upsides. Although i don't think they would generate positive long-terms returns they could still be of use when using smarter volatility metrics as threshold. The proposed indicator conserve more information than its relatives and might find some use as input for other indicators.
Recommended Use Of The Code
Although i don't put restrictions on the code usage, i still recommend creative and pertinent changes to be made, graphical changes or any minor changes are not necessary, remember that such practice is disrespectful toward the author, you don't want to load up the tradingview servers for nothing right ?
Support Me
Making indicators sure is hard, it takes time and it can be quite lonely to, so i would love talking with you guys while making them :) There isn't better support than the one provided by your friends so drop me a message.
Kaufman Adaptive Least Squares Moving AverageIntroduction
It is possible to use a wide variety of filters for the estimation of a least squares moving average, one of the them being the Kaufman adaptive moving average (KAMA) which adapt to the market trend strength, by using KAMA in an lsma we therefore allow for an adaptive low lag filter which might provide a smarter way to remove noise while preserving reactivity.
The Indicator
The lsma aim to minimize the sum of the squared residuals, paired with KAMA we obtain a great adaptive solution for smoothing while conserving reactivity. Length control the period of the efficiency ratio used in KAMA, higher values of length allow for overall smoother results. The pre-filtering option allow for even smoother results by using KAMA as input instead of the raw price.
The proposed indicator without pre-filtering in green, a simple moving average in orange, and a lsma with all of them length = 200. The proposed filter allow for fast and precise crosses with the moving average while eliminating major whipsaws.
Same setup with the pre-filtering option, the result are overall smoother.
Conclusion
The provided code allow for the implementation of any filter instead of KAMA, try using your own filters. Thanks for reading :)

Candle CountingI was talking with one of the biggest hedge fund traders in the world the other day. He goes to me, "Brian, why don't you come and work for us, since you're a better trader than anyone at our firm?" Well I said I would, but there's no one there with an iq as high as mine, so I'd have no one to talk to when I'm eatin my sammiches. Man I'm a savant mate, I'm a f***ing CANDLE COUNTER. I tell people all the time, know your market. And that's your tip of the day really, I mean nobody out there knows Yen better than me. I mean the other day I was 70,000 in the hole, but I didn't get out, I was balls deep making a cheese sammich on the George Forman. Now I mean you can try and do what I'm doing, but understand something, I am 100% smarter than you, and your machines. In the industry, they call me Mr. Yen, I touch the sun, and my d*ck, regularly.

Liquidity Sweep Breakout - LSBLiquidity Sweep Breakout - LSB
A professional session-based breakout system designed for OANDA:USDJPY and other JPY pairs.
Not guesswork, but precision - built on detailed observation of institutional moves to capture clear trade direction daily.
Master the Market’s Daily Bank Flow.
---
Strategy Detail:
I discovered this strategy after carefully studying how Japanese banks influence the forex market during their daily settlement period. Banks are some of the biggest players in the financial world, and when they adjust or settle their accounts in the morning, it often creates a push in the market. From years of observation, I noticed a consistent pattern, once banks finish their settlements, the market usually continues moving in the same direction that was formed right after those actions. This daily banking flow often sets the tone for the entire trading session, especially for JPY pairs like USDJPY.
To capture this move, I built the indicator so that it follows the bank-driven trend with clear rules for entries, stop-loss (SL), and take-profit (TP). The system is designed with professional risk management in mind. By default, it assumes a $10,000 account size, risks only 1% of that balance per trade, and targets a 1:1.5 reward-to-risk ratio. This means for every $100 risked, the potential profit is $150. Such controlled risk makes the system safer and more sustainable for long-term traders. At the same time, users are not limited to this setup, they can adjust the account balance in the settings, and the indicator will automatically recalculate the lot size and risk levels based on their own capital. This ensures the strategy works for small accounts and larger accounts alike.
🌍 Why It Works
Fundamentally driven: Based on **daily Japanese banking settlement flows**.
Session-specific precision: Targets the exact window when USDJPY liquidity reshapes.
Risk-managed: Always calculates lot size based on account and risk preferences.
Automatable: With webhook + MT5 EA, it can be fully hands-free.
---
✅ Recommended
Pair: USDJPY (best observed behavior).
Timeframe: 3-Minute chart.
Platform: TradingView Premium (for webhooks).
Execution: MT5 via EA.
---
🔎 Strategy Concept
The Tokyo Magic Breakout (TMB) is built on years of session observation and the unique daily rhythm of the Japanese banking system.
Every morning between 5:50 AM – 6:10 AM PKT (09:50 – 10:10 JST), Japanese banks perform daily reconciliation and settlement. This often sets the tone for the USDJPY direction of the day.
This strategy isolates that critical moment of liquidity adjustment and waits for a clean breakout confirmation. Instead of chasing noise, it executes only when price action is aligned with the Tokyo market’s hidden flows.
---
🕒 Timing Logic
Session Start: 5:00 AM PKT (Tokyo market open range).
Magic Candle: The 5:54 AM PKT candle is marked as the reference “breakout selector.”
Checkpoints: First confirmation at 6:30 AM PKT, then every 15 minutes until 8:30 AM PKT.
* If price stays inside the magic range → wait.
* If a breakout happens but the candle wick touches the range → wait for the next checkpoint.
* If by 8:30 AM PKT no clean breakout occurs → the day is marked as No Trade Day (NTD).
👉 Recommended timeframe: 3-Minute chart (3M) for precise signals.
---
📈 Trade Execution
Entry: Clean break above/below the magic candle’s range.
Stop-Loss: Opposite side of the Tokyo session high/low.
Take-Profit: Calculated by Reward\:Risk ratio (default 1.5:1).
Lot Size: Auto-calculated based on your risk model:
* Fixed Dollar
* % of Equity
* Conservative (minimum of both).
Visuals include:
✅ Entry/SL/TP lines
✅ Shaded risk (red) and reward (green) zones
✅ Trade labels (Buy/Sell with lot size & levels)
✅ TP/SL hit markers

IFVG by Toño# IFVG by Toño - Pine Script Indicator
## Overview
This Pine Script indicator identifies and visualizes **Fair Value Gaps (FVG)** and **Inverted Fair Value Gaps (IFVG)** on trading charts. It provides advanced analysis of price inefficiencies and their subsequent inversions when mitigated.
## Key Features
### 1. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
- **Bullish FVG**: Detected when `low > high ` (gap between current low and high of 2 bars ago)
- **Bearish FVG**: Detected when `high < low ` (gap between current high and low of 2 bars ago)
- Visual representation using colored rectangles (green for bullish, red for bearish)
### 2. Inverted Fair Value Gap (IFVG) Creation
- **IFVG Formation**: When a FVG gets mitigated (price fills the gap with candle body), an IFVG is created
- **Color Inversion**: The IFVG takes the opposite color of the original FVG
- Mitigated bullish FVG → Creates red (bearish) IFVG
- Mitigated bearish FVG → Creates green (bullish) IFVG
- **Mitigation Logic**: Uses only candle body (not wicks) to determine when a FVG is filled
### 3. Customizable Display Options
- **Show Normal FVG**: Toggle visibility of regular Fair Value Gaps
- **Show IFVG**: Toggle visibility of Inverted Fair Value Gaps
- **Smart FVG Display**: Even when "Show Normal FVG" is disabled, FVGs that are part of IFVGs remain visible
- **Extension Control**: Option to extend FVGs until they are mitigated
### 4. IFVG Extension Methods
- **Full Cross Method**: IFVG remains active until price completely crosses through it (including wicks)
- **Number of Bars Method**: IFVG remains active for a specified number of bars (1-100)
### 5. Visual Mitigation Signals
- **Cross Markers**: Shows X-shaped markers when IFVGs are mitigated
- Green cross above bar: Bearish IFVG mitigated
- Red cross below bar: Bullish IFVG mitigated
### 6. Comprehensive Alert System
- **IFVG Formation Alerts**: Notifications when new IFVGs are created
- **IFVG Mitigation Alerts**: Notifications when IFVGs are filled/mitigated
- **Separate Controls**: Individual toggles for bullish and bearish IFVG alerts
## How It Works
### Step-by-Step Process:
1. **FVG Detection**: Script continuously scans for 3-bar patterns that create price gaps
2. **FVG Tracking**: Each FVG is stored with its coordinates, type, and status
3. **Mitigation Monitoring**: Script watches for candle bodies that fill the FVG
4. **IFVG Creation**: Upon mitigation, creates an IFVG with opposite polarity at the same location
5. **IFVG Management**: Tracks and extends IFVGs according to chosen method
6. **Visual Updates**: Dynamically updates colors and visibility based on user settings
## Use Cases
- **Support/Resistance Analysis**: IFVGs often act as strong support/resistance levels
- **Market Structure Understanding**: Helps identify how market inefficiencies get filled and reversed
- **Entry/Exit Timing**: Can be used to time entries around IFVG formations or mitigations
- **Confluence Analysis**: Combine with other technical analysis tools for stronger signals
## Configuration Parameters
- **Colors**: Customizable colors for bullish/bearish FVGs and IFVGs
- **Extension**: Choose how long to display gaps on the chart
- **Alerts**: Full control over notification preferences
- **Visual Clarity**: Options to show/hide different gap types for cleaner charts
## Technical Specifications
- **Pine Script Version**: 5
- **Overlay**: True (displays directly on price chart)
- **Max Boxes**: 500 (supports up to 500 simultaneous gaps)
- **Performance**: Optimized array management for smooth operation
This indicator is particularly valuable for traders who use **Smart Money Concepts (SMC)** and **Inner Circle Trader (ICT)** methodologies, as it provides clear visualization of how institutional order flow creates and fills market inefficiencies.
T-Virus Sentiment [hapharmonic]🧬 T-Virus Sentiment: Visualize the Market's DNA
Remember the iconic T-Virus vial from the first Resident Evil? That powerful, swirling helix of potential has always fascinated me. It sparked an idea: what if we could visualize the market's underlying health in a similar way? What if we could capture the "genetic code" of market sentiment and contain it within a dynamic, 3D indicator? This project is the result of that idea, brought to life with Pine Script.
The indicator's main goal is to measure the strength and direction of market sentiment by analyzing the "genetic code" of price action through a variety of trusted indicators. The result is displayed as a liquid level within a DNA helix, a bubble density representing buying pressure, and a T-Virus mascot that reflects the overall mood.
🧐 Core Concept: How It Works
The primary output of the indicator is the "Active %" gauge you see on the right side of the vial. This percentage represents the overall sentiment score, calculated as an average from 7 different technical analysis tools. Each tool is analyzed on every bar and assigned a score from 1 (strong bearish pressure) to 5 (strong bullish potential).
In this indicator, we re-imagine market dynamics through the lens of a viral outbreak. A strong bear market is like a virus taking hold, pulling all technical signals down into a state of weakness. Conversely, a powerful bull market is like an antiviral serum ; positive signals rise and spread toward the top of the vial, indicating that the system is being injected with strength.
This is not just another line on a chart. It's a comprehensive sentiment dashboard designed to give an immediate, at-a-glance understanding of the confluence between 7 classic technical indicators. The incredible 3D model of the vial itself was inspired by a design concept found here .
⚛️ The 4 Core Elements of T-Virus Sentiment
These four elements work in harmony to give a complete, multi-faceted picture of market sentiment. Each component tells a different part of the story.
The Virus Mascot: An instant emotional cue. This character provides the quickest possible read on the overall market mood, combining sentiment with volume pressure.
The Antiviral Serum Level: The main quantitative output. This is the liquid level in the DNA helix and the percentage gauge on the right, representing the average sentiment score from all 7 indicators.
Buy Pressure & Bubble Density: This visualizes volume flow. The density of bubbles represents the intensity of accumulation (buying) versus distribution (selling). It's the "power" behind the move.
The Signal Distribution: This shows the confluence (or dispersion) of sentiment. Are all signals bullish and clustered at the top, or are they scattered, indicating a conflicted market? The position of the indicator labels is crucial, as each is assigned to one of five distinct zones:
Base Bottom: The market is at its weakest. Signals here suggest strong bearish control and distribution.
Lower Zone: The market is still bearish, but signals may be showing early signs of accumulation or bottoming.
Neutral Core (Center): A state of balance or sideways consolidation. The market is waiting for a new direction.
Upper Zone: Bullish momentum is becoming clear. Signals are strengthening and showing bullish control.
Top Cap: The market is "heating up" with strong bullish sentiment, potentially nearing overbought conditions.
🐂🐻 The Virus Mascot: The At-a-Glance Indicator
This character acts as a shortcut to confirm market health. It combines the sentiment score with volume, preventing false confidence in a low-volume rally.
Its state is determined by a dual-check: the overall "Antiviral Serum Level" and the "Buy Pressure" must both be above 50%.
Green & Smiling: The 'all clear' signal. This means that not only is the overall technical sentiment bullish, but it's also being supported by real buying pressure. This is a sign of a healthy bull market.
Red & Angry: A warning sign. This appears if either the sentiment is weak, or a bullish sentiment is not being confirmed by buying volume. The latter could indicate a potential "bull trap" or an exhaustive move.
This mascot can be disabled from the settings page under "Virus Mascot Styling" if a cleaner look is preferred.
🫧 Bubble Density: Gauging Buy vs. Sell Pressure
The bubbles visualize the battle between buyers and sellers. There are two modes to control how this is calculated:
Mode 1: Visible Range (The 'Big Picture' View)
This default mode is best for getting a broad, contextual understanding of the current session. It dynamically analyzes the volume of every single candlestick currently visible on the screen to calculate the buy/sell pressure ratio. It answers the question: "Over the entire period I'm looking at, who is in control?" As you zoom in or out, the calculation adapts.
Mode 2: Custom Lookback (The 'Precision' View)
This mode is for traders who need to analyze short-term pressure. You can define a fixed number of recent bars to analyze, which is perfect for scalping or understanding the volume dynamics leading into a key level. It answers the question: "What is happening right now ?" In the example above, a lookback of 2 focuses only on the most recent action, clearly showing intense, immediate selling pressure (few bubbles) and a corresponding drop in the sentiment score to 29%.
ℹ️ Interactive Tooltips: Dive Deeper
We believe in transparency, not 'black box' indicators. This feature transforms the indicator from a visual aid into an active learning tool.
Simply hover the mouse over any indicator label (like EMA, OBV, etc.) to get a detailed tooltip. It will explain the specific data points and thresholds that signal met to be placed in its current zone. This helps build trust in the signals and allows users to fine-tune the indicator settings to better match their own trading style.
🎯 The Scoring Logic Breakdown
The "Antiviral Serum Level" gauge is the average score from 7 technical analysis tools. Each is graded on a 5-point scale (1=Strong Bearish to 5=Strong Bullish). Here’s a detailed, transparent look at how each "gene" is evaluated:
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
Measures momentum and overbought/oversold conditions.
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): RSI > 80 (Extreme Overbought)
Group 2 (Bearish): 70 < RSI ≤ 80 (Overbought)
Group 3 (Neutral): 30 ≤ RSI ≤ 70
Group 4 (Bullish): 20 ≤ RSI < 30 (Oversold)
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): RSI < 20 (Extreme Oversold)
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA)
Evaluates the trend's strength and structure based on the alignment of multiple EMAs (9, 21, 50, 100, 200, 250).
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): A perfect bearish sequence (9 < 21 < 50 < ...)
Group 2 (Bearish Transition): Early signs of a potential reversal (e.g., 9 > 21 but still below 50)
Group 3 (Neutral / Mixed): MAs are intertwined or showing a partial bullish sequence.
Group 4 (Bullish): A strong bullish sequence is forming (e.g., 9 > 21 > 50 > 100)
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): A perfect bullish sequence (9 > 21 > 50 > 100 > 200 > 250)
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
Analyzes the relationship between two moving averages to gauge momentum.
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): MACD & Histogram are negative and momentum is falling.
Group 2 (Weakening Bearish): MACD is negative but the histogram is rising or positive.
Group 3 (Neutral / Crossover): A crossover event is occurring near the zero line.
Group 4 (Bullish): MACD & Histogram are positive.
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): MACD & Histogram are positive, rising strongly, and accelerating.
Average Directional Index (ADX)
Measures trend strength, not direction. The score is based on both ADX value and the dominance of DI+ vs DI-.
Group 1 (Bearish / No Trend): ADX < 20 and DI- is dominant.
Group 2 (Developing Bearish Trend): 20 ≤ ADX < 25 and DI- is dominant.
Group 3 (Neutral / Indecision): Trend is weak or DI+ and DI- are nearly equal.
Group 4 (Developing Bullish Trend): 25 ≤ ADX ≤ 40 and DI+ is dominant.
Group 5 (Strong Bullish Trend): ADX > 40 and DI+ is dominant.
Ichimoku Cloud (IKH)
A comprehensive indicator that defines support/resistance, momentum, and trend direction.
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): Price is below the Kumo, Tenkan < Kijun, and Chikou is below price.
Group 2 (Bearish): Price is inside or below the Kumo, with mixed secondary signals.
Group 3 (Neutral / Ranging): Price is inside the Kumo, often with a Tenkan/Kijun cross.
Group 4 (Bullish): Price is above the Kumo with strong primary signals.
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): All signals are aligned bullishly: price above Kumo, bullish Tenkan/Kijun cross, bullish future Kumo, and Chikou above price.
Bollinger Bands (BB)
Measures volatility and relative price levels.
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): Price is below the lower band.
Group 2 (Bearish Territory): Price is between the lower band and the basis line.
Group 3 (Neutral): Price is hovering around the basis line.
Group 4 (Bullish Territory): Price is between the basis line and the upper band.
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): Price is above the upper band.
On-Balance Volume (OBV)
Uses volume flow to predict price changes. The score is based on OBV's trend and its position relative to its moving average.
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): OBV is below its MA and falling.
Group 2 (Weakening Bearish): OBV is below its MA but showing signs of rising.
Group 3 (Neutral): OBV is very close to its MA.
Group 4 (Bullish): OBV is above its MA and rising.
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): OBV is above its MA, rising strongly, and showing signs of a volume spike.
🧭 How to Use the T-Virus Sentiment Indicator
IMPORTANT: This indicator is a sentiment dashboard , not a direct buy/sell signal generator. Its strength lies in showing confluence and providing a quick, holistic view of the market's technical health.
Confirmation Tool: Use the "Active %" gauge to confirm a trade setup from your primary strategy. For example, if you see a bullish chart pattern, a high and rising sentiment score can add confidence to your trade.
Momentum & Trend Gauge: A consistently high score (e.g., > 75%) suggests strong, established bullish momentum. A consistently low score (< 25%) suggests strong bearish control. A score hovering around 50% often indicates a ranging or indecisive market.
Divergence & Warning System: Pay attention to divergences. If the price is making new highs but the sentiment score is failing to follow or is actively decreasing, it could be an early warning sign that the underlying momentum is weakening.
