Smart Money Setup 04 [TradingFinder] Three Drive (Harmonic) + OB🔵 Introduction
The "Three Drive" pattern is a well-known formation in technical analysis, recognized for its ability to signal potential trend reversals in price action. Within the realm of trading, particularly in the context of "Reversal Patterns," the Three Drive pattern holds significance as a reliable indicator of shifts in market sentiment.
🟣 Bullish 3 Drive
This pattern typically manifests at a price bottom, where a sequence of lower lows suggests a prevailing negative trend. However, within the structure of the Three Drive pattern, a notable occurrence unfolds.
The second low breaches the range of the first low, followed by the third low surpassing the range of the second low. These penetrations signify a diminishing selling pressure and an emerging buying interest.
Traders often await the confirmation of the third low surpassing the second low as an entry point, with price targets set at the highs formed within the Three Drive pattern.
🟣 Bearish 3 Drive
Conversely, the Bearish Three Drive pattern emerges at a price top, characterized by a sequence of higher highs indicating an upward trend. Yet, amidst this apparent bullish momentum, a shift occurs.
The second high breaks beyond the range of the first high, succeeded by the third high exceeding the range of the second high. These breaches signify a waning buying strength and a resurgence in selling pressure.
Entry into a trade is often executed after the confirmation of the third high surpassing the second high, with targets set at the lows formed within the Three Drive pattern.
Importance :
Understanding the Three Drive pattern's significance extends beyond mere technical analysis. It bears resemblance to other established patterns, such as the Harmonic Pattern and Ending Diagonal within the Elliott Wave Theory.
Recognizing these parallels aids traders in comprehending broader market dynamics and potential price movements.
🔵 Formation of 3 Drive in Order Block Zone
The convergence of the Three Drive pattern with the concept of the Order Block Zone introduces a nuanced layer to traders' analytical approach.
In "Price Action" methodology, Order Blocks represent areas on the price chart where significant market players, such as institutional traders, have executed notable orders.
These zones often act as barriers, with price encountering resistance or support upon reaching them.
When the Three Drive pattern forms within an Order Block Zone, it signifies a confluence of market dynamics.
The completion of the pattern within this zone suggests a potential reversal in the prevailing trend, augmented by the presence of significant institutional orders.
Traders incorporate these Order Blocks into their analysis to identify probable levels where price may change direction, enhancing the reliability of their trading decisions.
🔵 How to Use :
To effectively utilize the Three Drive pattern within the Order Block Zone, traders seek alignment between the completion of the pattern and the presence of significant Order Blocks.
This convergence enhances the reliability of the pattern's signals, increasing the likelihood of successful trade outcomes.

Smart Elliott Wave [The_lurker]🔷 Smart Elliott Wave – موجات إليوت الذكية
A professional indicator for automatically detecting and analyzing Elliott Wave patterns on the chart. Built on classical Elliott Wave theory, it enhances accuracy with dynamic Fibonacci validation and geometric logic—solving the most common issues traders face when applying Elliott Wave manually: complexity, subjectivity, and misinterpretation of corrections.
🎯 Key Features
Smart Elliott Wave offers a layered intelligent system that:
- Automatically detects impulsive and corrective wave structures
- Validates wave formations using Fibonacci rules
- Highlights potential reversal zones (PRZ)
- Sends instant alerts for newly detected patterns
- Supports both bullish and bearish trends
- Includes fully customizable user settings
🧠 Core Concept
The indicator analyzes price movement over time using pivot points (discovered via `ta.pivothigh` and `ta.pivotlow`) to detect wave structures that conform to Elliott Wave sequencing:
- Impulse Wave: 0-1-2-3-4-5
- Simple Correction: ABC
- Complex Correction: WXY
Each structure is validated through a strict set of logical rules combined with Fibonacci ratio checks to ensure pattern integrity and reduce false signals.
🧩 Wave Structure Components
1️⃣ Impulse Waves
- Wave 3 is not the shortest
- Wave 4 does not overlap Wave 1
- Waves 1, 3, and 5 are impulsive; Waves 2 and 4 are corrective
- Fibonacci validation can be applied to Waves 2 and 4 if enabled
2️⃣ Simple Corrections (ABC)
- Wave B partially retraces Wave A
- Wave C completes the structure without invalid overlap
- Fibonacci ratios validate the symmetry of A, B, and C (if enabled)
3️⃣ Complex Corrections (WXY)
- Only used if ABC structure is insufficient
- Requires 6 sequential pivot points: W, X, Y
- W and Y are corrective; X is a linking wave
- Follows both structural and ratio-based validations
📏 Dynamic Fibonacci Validation
When Enable Fibonacci Rules is active:
- Validates against common ratios:
`38.2%`, `50%`, `61.8%`, `78.6%`, `127.2%`, `161.8%`
- Adjustable **Fibonacci Tolerance** allows for controlled deviation
- Patterns are ignored if ratios fall outside the accepted range
🔮 Potential Reversal Zones (PRZ)
- Calculated from the most recent completed impulse wave
- Uses Fibonacci extensions to project PRZ ahead of price
- Customizable visibility and color for each ratio
- Used as dynamic take-profit or stop-loss zones
🖍️ Dual Trend Detection & Wave Coloring
- Supports both bullish and bearish patterns
- Automatic wave coloring for quick visual recognition:
- 🟦 Blue: Bullish waves
- 🟥 Red: Bearish waves
- Optional fill color for correction zones
🔔 Smart Alert System
Instant alerts are triggered when a valid wave pattern is confirmed:
- New impulse wave detected
- ABC correction appears
- Complex WXY correction formed
> Alerts are triggered only after the bar closes to prevent repainting.
⚙️ Indicator Settings
📌 Wave Detection Settings
- Pivot Left Strength: Bars to the left used for pivot detection
- Pivot Right Strength: Bars to the right for confirmation (0 = real-time)
- Enable Fibonacci Rules: Toggle Fibonacci ratio validation
- Fibonacci Tolerance: Allowed deviation in percentage
🎨 Display Settings
- Show Previous Patterns: Toggle between all patterns or only the latest
- Fill correction zones with color
- Customize wave and PRZ color schemes
📉 PRZ Settings
- Show/hide specific Fibonacci ratios
- Customize each PRZ color
- Set maximum bar extension for PRZ display
🔕 Alert Settings
- Enable or disable alerts for each type of pattern
📚 Practical Use Cases
- Daily or intraday price structure analysis
- Combine with RSI, MACD, or momentum indicators
- Filter weak signals using Fibonacci-based pattern validation
- Use PRZ zones as dynamic entry/exit targets
- Learn and reinforce Elliott Wave theory through real-time examples
📝 Important Notes
- Setting `Pivot Right = 0` allows for real-time pattern previews (may repaint)
- Disabling Fibonacci validation increases pattern count but reduces accuracy
- TradingView limits to 500 visual objects (labels, boxes, lines); older patterns may be removed
- PRZ extends up to 100 bars or 0.618 of the previous impulse duration by default

🔷 Smart Elliott Wave – موجات إليوت الذكية
مؤشر احترافي لرصد وتحليل أنماط موجات إليوت تلقائيًا على الرسم البياني، يعتمد على المبادئ الكلاسيكية للنظرية مع تعزيزها بالتحقق الرياضي والهندسي، ويهدف إلى تجاوز العقبات التي يواجهها معظم المتداولين عند تطبيق موجات إليوت يدويًا، مثل صعوبة التحديد، التقديرات الذاتية، وتشويش التصحيحات.
🎯 ما الذي يميز هذا المؤشر؟
يُقدّم Smart Elliott Wave نظامًا تراكبيًا ذكيًا يقوم بـ:
رصد تلقائي للموجات (الدافعة والتصحيحية)
التحقق من صحة النموذج باستخدام قواعد فيبوناتشي
عرض مناطق الانعكاس المحتملة (PRZ)
توليد تنبيهات لحظية عند تشكّل أنماط جديدة
دعم الاتجاهين (الصاعد والهابط)
واجهة إعدادات مرنة قابلة للتخصيص الكامل
🧠 الفكرة الأساسية
يعتمد المؤشر على تحليل حركة السعر عبر تسلسل زمني من النقاط المحورية (Pivots)، والتي تُكتشف باستخدام دوال مدمجة مثل ta.pivothigh وta.pivotlow. ثم يُبني فوق هذه النقاط نماذج هندسية متوافقة مع تسلسل موجات إليوت:
الموجة الدافعة (Impulse): تسلسل 0-1-2-3-4-5
التصحيح البسيط (ABC)
التصحيح المعقد (WXY)
ويتم التحقق من كل نموذج اعتمادًا على قواعد إليوت + نسب فيبوناتشي، ما يضمن موضوعية التصنيف، ودقة التحديد.
🧩 مكوّنات التحليل:
1️⃣ الموجات الدافعة (Impulse Waves):
يُشترط أن تكون الموجة الثالثة غير الأقصر.
لا تتداخل الموجة الرابعة مع نطاق الموجة الأولى.
تأكيد أن الموجات 1 و3 و5 دافعة، و2 و4 تصحيحية.
يتم التحقق من نسب تصحيح الموجتين 2 و4 حسب قواعد فيبوناتشي عند تفعيلها.
2️⃣ التصحيح البسيط (ABC):
B تصحيح جزئي للموجة A.
C تُكمل الهيكل بدون تداخل مع A.
يتم التحقق من أطوال الموجات وفق نسب فيبوناتشي لضمان التناسق.
3️⃣ التصحيح المعقد (WXY):
لا يتم تفعيله إلا عند فشل ABC في تفسير النمط.
يتطلب 6 نقاط محورية متسلسلة: W, X, Y.
W وY تصحيحيتان، وX رابط مركزي.
يخضع أيضًا لقواعد النسب والتماثل البنائي.
📏 التحقق باستخدام نسب فيبوناتشي:
عند تفعيل خاصية Enable Fibonacci Rules، يتم التحقق الصارم من نسب تصحيح الموجات:
النسب المعتمدة:
38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%, 127.2%, 161.8%
إذا لم تكن الموجة ضمن نطاق النسبة + نسبة التسامح (Tolerance)، يتم تجاهل النموذج.
يُستخدم هذا التحقق أيضًا لرسم مناطق الانعكاس المحتملة (PRZ).
🔮 مناطق الانعكاس المحتملة (PRZ)
تُحسب PRZ باستخدام نسب فيبوناتشي انطلاقًا من نهاية آخر موجة دافعة.
تُعرض بشكل مستطيلات شفافة أو ملونة.
يمكن تخصيص كل نسبة لونًا وشكلًا خاصًا.
تُستخدم PRZ كأداة توقع للموجة التالية أو لتحديد أهداف وقف الخسارة وجني الأرباح ديناميكيًا.
🖍️ دعم الاتجاهين وتلوين الموجات:
يدعم المؤشر النماذج الصاعدة والهابطة بشكل تلقائي.
يتم استخدام تلوين بصري لتسهيل التمييز:
الأزرق: للموجات الصاعدة
الأحمر: للموجات الهابطة
لون تعبئة مخصص لمناطق التصحيح
🔔 نظام التنبيهات الذكية
يحتوي المؤشر على تنبيهات تلقائية يتم تفعيلها عند اكتمال أي نمط جديد.
يدعم التنبيهات التالية:
موجة دافعة جديدة
تصحيح بسيط ABC
تصحيح معقد WXY
التنبيهات تُطلق بعد إغلاق الشمعة التي تحقق فيها النموذج (غير فوري Repainting-safe)
⚙️ إعدادات المؤشر
📌 إعدادات تحليل الموجة:
Pivot Left Strength: عدد الأعمدة (bars) إلى اليسار لتحديد الانعكاس
Pivot Right Strength: الأعمدة إلى اليمين لتأكيد الانعكاس (0 يعني تنبؤ لحظي)
Enable Fibonacci Rules: تفعيل/تعطيل التحقق من فيبوناتشي
Fibonacci Tolerance: نسبة التفاوت المقبولة بالنسب المئوية
🎨 إعدادات العرض:
Show Previous Patterns: إظهار كل الأنماط المكتشفة أو آخر نمط فقط
PRZ Settings:
إظهار أو إخفاء نسب معينة
تخصيص الألوان
تحديد امتداد مربع PRZ زمنيًا (Max Bars)
🔕 إعدادات التنبيهات:
تفعيل/تعطيل تنبيه عند كل نمط جديد
📚 حالات الاستخدام العملية:
تحليل الحركة السعرية في بداية كل جلسة
دمج المؤشر مع أدوات مثل RSI أو MACD للحصول على إشارات مركّبة
مراقبة الموجات التوسعية والتصحيحية على فواصل 4H / Daily
استخدام PRZ كأداة لتحديد الأهداف أو وقف الخسارة
التعلم العملي لنظرية إليوت من خلال أمثلة حية
📝 ملاحظات مهمة:
تعيين Pivot Right = 0 يعني نقاط فورية (قد يعاد رسمها لاحقًا)
تعطيل فيبوناتشي يزيد عدد النماذج، لكن قد يُضعف دقتها
TradingView يحد عدد الكائنات المرسومة (Labels, Boxes, Lines) إلى 500، مما قد يؤدي إلى حذف الأنماط الأقدم تلقائيًا
PRZ يمتد افتراضيًا حتى 100 شمعة، أو 0.618 من مدة الموجة الدافعة السابقة

Smart Money Index + True Strength IndexThe Smart Money Index + True Strength Index indicator is a combination of two popular technical analysis indicators: the Smart Money Index (SMI) and the True Strength Index (TSI). This combined indicator helps traders identify potential entry points for long and short positions based on signals from both indexes.
Main Components:
Smart Money Index (SMI):
The SMI measures the difference between the closing and opening price of a candle multiplied by the trading volume over a certain period of time. This allows you to assess the activity of large players ("smart money") in the market. If the SMI value is above a certain threshold (smiThreshold), it may indicate a bullish trend, and if lower, it may indicate a bearish trend.
True Strength Index (TSI):
The TSI is an oscillator that measures the strength of a trend by comparing the price change of the current bar with the previous bar. It uses two exponential moving averages (EMAS) to smooth the data. TSI values can fluctuate around zero, with values above the overbought level indicating a possible downward correction, and values below the oversold level signaling a possible upward correction.
Parameters:
SMI Length: Defines the number of candles used to calculate the average SMI value. The default value is 14.
SMI Threshold: A threshold value that is used to determine a buy or sell signal. The default value is 0.
Length of the first TSI smoothing (tsiLength1): The length of the first EMA for calculating TSI. The default value is 25.
Second TSI smoothing length (tsiLength2): The length of the second EMA for additional smoothing of TSI values. The default value is 13.
TSI Overbought level: The level at which the market is considered to be overbought. The default value is 25.
Oversold level TSI: The level at which it is considered that the market is in an oversold state. The default value is -25.
Logic of operation:
SMI calculation:
First, the difference between the closing and opening price of each candle (close - open) is calculated.
This difference is then multiplied by the trading volume.
The resulting product is averaged using a simple moving average (SMA) over a specified period (smiLength).
Calculation of TSI:
The price change relative to the previous bar is calculated (close - close ).
The first EMA with the length tsiLength1 is applied.
Next, a second EMA with a length of tsiLength2 is applied to obtain the final TSI value.
The absolute value of price changes is calculated in the same way, and two emas are also applied.
The final TSI index is calculated as the ratio of these two values multiplied by 100.
Graphical representation:
The SMI and TSI lines are plotted on the graph along with their respective thresholds.
For SMI, the line is drawn in orange, and the threshold level is dotted in gray.
For the TSI, the line is plotted in blue, the overbought and oversold levels are indicated by red and green dotted lines, respectively.
Conditions for buy/sell signals:
A buy (long) signal is generated when:
SMI is greater than the threshold (smi > smiThreshold)
TSI crosses the oversold level from bottom to top (ta.crossover(tsi, oversold)).
A sell (short) signal is generated when:
SMI is less than the threshold (smi < smiThreshold)
TSI crosses the overbought level from top to bottom (ta.crossunder(tsi, overbought)).
Signal display:
When the conditions for a long or short are met, labels labeled "LONG" or "SHORT" appear on the chart.
The label for the long is located under the candle and is colored green, and for the short it is above the candle and is colored red.
Notification generation:
The indicator also supports notifications via the TradingView platform. Notifications are sent when conditions arise for a long or short position.
This combined indicator provides the trader with the opportunity to use both SMI and TSI signals simultaneously, which can improve the accuracy of trading decisions.
Smart DCA Strategy (Public)INSPIRATION
While Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is a popular and stress-free investment approach, I noticed an opportunity for enhancement. Standard DCA involves buying consistently, regardless of market conditions, which can sometimes mean missing out on optimal investment opportunities. This led me to develop the Smart DCA Strategy – a 'set and forget' method like traditional DCA, but with an intelligent twist to boost its effectiveness.
The goal was to build something more profitable than a standard DCA strategy so it was equally important that this indicator could backtest its own results in an A/B test manner against the regular DCA strategy.
WHY IS IT SMART?
The key to this strategy is its dynamic approach: buying aggressively when the market shows signs of being oversold, and sitting on the sidelines when it's not. This approach aims to optimize entry points, enhancing the potential for better returns while maintaining the simplicity and low stress of DCA.
WHAT THIS STRATEGY IS, AND IS NOT
This is an investment style strategy. It is designed to improve upon the common standard DCA investment strategy. It is therefore NOT a day trading strategy. Feel free to experiment with various timeframes, but it was designed to be used on a daily timeframe and that's how I recommend it to be used.
You may also go months without any buy signals during bull markets, but remember that is exactly the point of the strategy - to keep your buying power on the sidelines until the markets have significantly pulled back. You need to be patient and trust in the historical backtesting you have performed.
HOW IT WORKS
The Smart DCA Strategy leverages a creative approach to using Moving Averages to identify the most opportune moments to buy. A trigger occurs when a daily candle, in its entirety including the high wick, closes below the threshold line or box plotted on the chart. The indicator is designed to facilitate both backtesting and live trading.
HOW TO USE
Settings:
The input parameters for tuning have been intentionally simplified in an effort to prevent users falling into the overfitting trap.
The main control is the Buying strictness scale setting. Setting this to a lower value will provide more buying days (less strict) while higher values mean less buying days (more strict). In my testing I've found level 9 to provide good all round results.
Validation days is a setting to prevent triggering entries until the asset has spent a given number of days (candles) in the overbought state. Increasing this makes entries stricter. I've found 0 to give the best results across most assets.
In the backtest settings you can also configure how much to buy for each day an entry triggers. Blind buy size is the amount you would buy every day in a standard DCA strategy. Smart buy size is the amount you would buy each day a Smart DCA entry is triggered.
You can also experiment with backtesting your strategy over different historical datasets by using the Start date and End date settings. The results table will not calculate for any trades outside what you've set in the date range settings.
Backtesting:
When backtesting you should use the results table on the top right to tune and optimise the results of your strategy. As with all backtests, be careful to avoid overfitting the parameters. It's better to have a setup which works well across many currencies and historical periods than a setup which is excellent on one dataset but bad on most others. This gives a much higher probability that it will be effective when you move to live trading.
The results table provides a clear visual representation as to which strategy, standard or smart, is more profitable for the given dataset. You will notice the columns are dynamically coloured red and green. Their colour changes based on which strategy is more profitable in the A/B style backtest - green wins, red loses. The key metrics to focus on are GOA (Gain on Account) and Avg Cost.
Live Trading:
After you've finished backtesting you can proceed with configuring your alerts for live trading.
But first, you need to estimate the amount you should buy on each Smart DCA entry. We can use the Total invested row in the results table to calculate this. Assuming we're looking to trade on
BTCUSD
Decide how much USD you would spend each day to buy BTC if you were using a standard DCA strategy. Lets say that is $5 per day
Enter that USD amount in the Blind buy size settings box
Check the Blind Buy column in the results table. If we set the backtest date range to the last 10 years, we would expect the amount spent on blind buys over 10 years to be $18,250 given $5 each day
Next we need to tweak the value of the Smart buy size parameter in setting to get it as close as we can to the Total Invested amount for Blind Buy
By following this approach it means we will invest roughly the same amount into our Smart DCA strategy as we would have into a standard DCA strategy over any given time period.
After you have calculated the Smart buy size, you can go ahead and set up alerts on Smart DCA buy triggers.
BOT AUTOMATION
In an effort to maintain the 'set and forget' stress-free benefits of a standard DCA strategy, I have set my personal Smart DCA Strategy up to be automated. The bot runs on AWS and I have a fully functional project for the bot on my GitHub account. Just reach out if you would like me to point you towards it. You can also hook this into any other 3rd party trade automation system of your choice using the pre-configured alerts within the indicator.
PLANNED FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Currently this is purely an accumulation strategy. It does not have any sell signals right now but I have ideas on how I will build upon it to incorporate an algorithm for selling. The strategy should gradually offload profits in bull markets which generates more USD which gives more buying power to rinse and repeat the same process in the next cycle only with a bigger starting capital. Watch this space!
MARKETS
Crypto:
This strategy has been specifically built to work on the crypto markets. It has been developed, backtested and tuned against crypto markets and I personally only run it on crypto markets to accumulate more of the coins I believe in for the long term. In the section below I will provide some backtest results from some of the top crypto assets.
Stocks:
I've found it is generally more profitable than a standard DCA strategy on the majority of stocks, however the results proved to be a lot more impressive on crypto. This is mainly due to the volatility and cycles found in crypto markets. The strategy makes its profits from capitalising on pullbacks in price. Good stocks on the other hand tend to move up and to the right with less significant pullbacks, therefore giving this strategy less opportunity to flourish.
Forex:
As this is an accumulation style investment strategy, I do not recommend that you use it to trade Forex.

Smart Ribbon V2 [FXSMARTLAB]The Smart Ribbon V2 indicator is designed to analyze market trends and momentum by plotting a series of moving averages with varying periods, all within a single overlay on the price chart. This approach creates a "ribbon" effect, enabling traders to visualize trend strength, reversals, and potential entry or exit points. The indicator provides flexibility through different moving average types, including some advanced ones like QUEMA (Quadruple Exponential Moving Average) and QuintEMA (Quintuple Exponential Moving Average). Each moving average is color-coded to indicate trend direction and momentum, making it visually intuitive and effective for quick decision-making in trend-following strategies.
The Smart Ribbon V2 helps traders:
Identify Trend Direction
Gauge Momentum
Spot Trend Reversals
Determine Entry and Exit Points
Detailed Explanation of QUEMA and QuintEMA
The QUEMA (Quadruple Exponential Moving Average) and QuintEMA (Quintuple Exponential Moving Average) are advanced smoothing techniques that build on traditional exponential moving averages (EMAs). Both offer higher sensitivity to recent price changes than standard EMAs by adding layers of exponential smoothing. These moving averages are particularly useful for traders looking for a more responsive indicator without the noise often present in shorter-period EMAs.

The QUEMA is calculated by applying the EMA calculation four times in succession. This method smooths out fluctuations in the price data, creating a balance between sensitivity to recent data and resistance to short-term noise.
The mathematical formula for QUEMA is:
QUEMA=4×EMA1−6×EMA2+4×EMA3−EMA4
This formula results in a moving average that is smoother than a triple EMA (TEMA) and provides a better response to price trends without excessive lag.
QuintEMA (Quintuple Exponential Moving Average)
The QuintEMA goes one step further by applying the EMA calculation five times in a row. This level of exponential smoothing is useful for identifying strong, persistent trends while remaining adaptive to recent price shifts.
The QuintEMA is calculated as :
QuintEMA=5×EMA1−10×EMA2+10×EMA3−5×EMA4+EMA5
The additional layer in QuintEMA further reduces the impact of short-term price fluctuations, making it especially useful in strongly trending markets.
The Smart Ribbon V2 combines the benefits of several moving average types to deliver a versatile tool for analyzing market trends, momentum, and potential reversals. With QUEMA and QuintEMA as advanced options, it allows traders to tailor the indicator to match their preferred trading style, whether it involves higher responsiveness or smoother trend visualization. This adaptability makes Smart Ribbon V2 a powerful choice for both novice and experienced traders seeking to improve their trend-following and market analysis strategies.
Smart Money Concept Strategy - Uncle SamThis strategy combines concepts from two popular TradingView scripts:
Smart Money Concepts (SMC) : The strategy identifies key levels in the market (swing highs and lows) and draws trend lines to visualize potential breakouts. It uses volume analysis to gauge the strength of these breakouts.
Smart Money Breakouts : This part of the strategy incorporates the idea of "Smart Money" – institutional traders who often lead market movements. It looks for breakouts of established levels with significant volume, aiming to catch the beginning of new trends.
How the Strategy Works:
Identification of Key Levels: The script identifies swing highs and swing lows based on a user-defined lookback period. These levels are considered significant points where price has reversed in the past.
Drawing Trend Lines: Trend lines are drawn connecting these key levels, creating a visual representation of potential support and resistance zones.
Volume Analysis: The script analyzes the volume during the formation of these levels and during breakouts. Higher volume suggests stronger moves and increases the probability of a successful breakout.
Entry Conditions:
Long Entry: A long entry is triggered when the price breaks above a resistance line with significant volume, and the moving average trend filter (optional) is bullish.
Short Entry: A short entry is triggered when the price breaks below a support line with significant volume, and the moving average trend filter (optional) is bearish.
Exit Conditions:
Stop Loss: Customizable stop loss percentages are implemented to protect against adverse price movements.
Take Profit: Customizable take profit percentages are used to lock in profits.
Credits and Compliance:
This strategy is inspired by the concepts and code from "Smart Money Concepts (SMC) " and "Smart Money Breakouts ." I've adapted and combined elements of both scripts to create this strategy. Full credit is given to the original authors for their valuable contributions to the TradingView community.

Smart Trend EnvelopeThe "Smart Trend Envelope" indicator is a powerful tool that combines the "Nadaraya-Watson Envelope " indicator by LuxAlgo and the "Strongest Trendline" indicator by Julien_Eche.
This indicator provides valuable insights into price trends and projection confidence levels in financial markets. However, it's important to note that the indicator may repaint, meaning that the displayed results can change after the fact.
The "Strongest Trendline" indicator by Julien_Eche focuses on identifying the strongest trendlines using logarithmic transformations of price data. It calculates the slope, average, and intercept of each trendline over user-defined lengths. The indicator also provides standard deviation, Pearson's R correlation coefficient, and upper/lower deviation values to assess the strength and reliability of the trendlines.
In addition, the "Nadaraya-Watson Envelope " indicator developed by LuxAlgo utilizes the Nadaraya-Watson kernel regression technique. It applies a kernel function to smooth the price data and estimate future price movements. The indicator allows adjustment of the bandwidth parameter and multiplier to control the width of the envelope lines around the smoothed line.
Combining these two indicators, the "Smart Trend Envelope" indicator offers traders and investors a comprehensive analysis of price trends and projection confidence levels. It automatically selects the strongest trendline length based on the highest Pearson's R correlation coefficient. Traders can observe the trendlines on the price chart, along with upper and lower envelope lines generated by the Nadaraya-Watson smoothing technique.
The "Smart Trend Envelope" indicator has several qualities that make it a valuable tool for technical analysis:
1. Automatic Length Selection: The indicator dynamically selects the optimal trendline length based on the highest Pearson's R correlation coefficient, ensuring accurate trend analysis.
2. Projection Confidence Level: The indicator provides a projection confidence level ranging from "Ultra Weak" to "Ultra Strong." This allows traders to assess the reliability of the projected trend and make informed trading decisions.
3. Color-Coded Visualization: The indicator uses color schemes, such as teal and red, to highlight the direction of the trend and the corresponding envelope lines. This visual representation makes it easier to interpret the market trends at a glance.
4. Customizable Settings: Traders can adjust parameters such as bandwidth, multiplier, line color, and line width to tailor the indicator to their specific trading strategies and preferences.
The "Smart Trend Envelope" indicator has been specifically designed and coded to be used in logarithmic scale. It takes advantage of the logarithmic scale's ability to represent exponential price movements accurately. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use this indicator with the chart set to logarithmic scale for optimal performance and reliable trend analysis, especially on higher timeframes.
It's important to remember that the "Smart Trend Envelope" indicator may repaint, meaning that the displayed results can change after the fact. Traders should use this indicator as a tool for generating trade ideas and confirmation, rather than relying solely on its historical values. Combining the indicator with other technical analysis tools and considering fundamental factors can lead to more robust trading strategies.
Smart Money Index (SMI) Strategy Attention:
If you would to use this indicator on the ES, you should have intraday data 60min in your account.
Smart money index (SMI) or smart money flow index is a technical analysis indicator demonstrating investors sentiment.
The index was invented and popularized by money manager Don Hays. The indicator is based on intra-day price patterns.
The main idea is that the majority of traders (emotional, news-driven) overreact at the beginning of the trading day
because of the overnight news and economic data. There is also a lot of buying on market orders and short covering at the opening.
Smart, experienced investors start trading closer to the end of the day having the opportunity to evaluate market performance.
Therefore, the basic strategy is to bet against the morning price trend and bet with the evening price trend. The SMI may be calculated
for many markets and market indices (S&P 500, DJIA, etc.)
The SMI sends no clear signal whether the market is bullish or bearish. There are also no fixed absolute or relative readings signaling
about the trend. Traders need to look at the SMI dynamics relative to that of the market. If, for example, SMI rises sharply when the
market falls, this fact would mean that smart money is buying, and the market is to revert to an uptrend soon. The opposite situation
is also true. A rapidly falling SMI during a bullish market means that smart money is selling and that market is to revert to a downtrend
soon. The SMI is, therefore, a trend-based indicator.
Some analysts use the smart money index to claim that precious metals such as gold will continually maintain value in the future.

Smart Money Breakout Moving Strength [GILDEX]🟠OVERVIEW
This script draws breakout detection zones called “Smart Money Breakout Channels” based on volatility-normalized price movement and visualizes them as dynamic boxes with volume overlays. It identifies temporary accumulation or distribution ranges using a custom normalized volatility metric and tracks when price breaks out of those zones—either upward or downward. Each channel represents a structured range where smart money may be active, helping traders anticipate key breakouts with added context from volume delta, up/down volume, and a visual gradient gauge for momentum bias.
🟠CONCEPTS
The script calculates normalized price volatility by measuring the standard deviation of price mapped to a scale using the highest and lowest prices over a set lookback period. When normalized volatility reaches a local low and flips upward, a boxed channel is drawn between the highest and lowest prices in that zone. These boxes persist until price breaks out, either with a strong candle close (configurable) or by touching the boundary. Volume analysis enhances interpretation by rendering delta bars inside the box, showing volume distribution during the channel. Additionally, a real-time visual “gauge” shows where volume delta sits within the channel range, helping users spot pressure imbalances.

✨Smart Option MACD: Bullish, Bearish, Neutral Logic by AKM ✨The **Smart Option MACD: Bullish, Bearish, Neutral Logic by AKM** is an advanced indicator designed for TradingView, tailored for option traders on indices like NIFTY. It automates options trend scanning by applying MACD analysis to both Call (CE) and Put (PE) options near the ATM (At-The-Money) strike, providing actionable market states—Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral—using distinct logic for both strikes and overall market context.
***
### Core Features
- **Option Selection Logic:** The script dynamically calculates ATM, CE, and PE strike prices based on the underlying index spot price and customizable user inputs for expiry, strike distance, and OTM/ITM shift.
- **MACD on Option Prices:** For both CE and PE symbols, the indicator computes the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) and Signal lines. It uses standard MACD settings: 12-period EMA (fast), 26-period EMA (slow), and 9-period Signal.
- **Strike Status Classification:**
- AZL 🔼: Indicates MACD > 0 for that option, signifying positive momentum.
- BZL 🔽: Indicates MACD 0 & crossover up), PE is bearish (MACD<0 & crossover down).
- **Bearish:** PE is bullish & crossover up, CE is bearish & crossover down.
- **Neutral:** All other scenarios—including mixed or undefined signals.
***
### Table Output
A real-time table is displayed on the chart (top-right) with key option and market details:
- Spot price
- ATM Strike
- CE/PE strike status (momentum + crossover logic)
- Option prices
- Overall market state, color-coded for clarity
***
### How to Use This Indicator
- **Entry Signal:** Use the Bullish/Bearish status for directional trades or option strategies. Bullish calls for buying or selling upward momentum options; Bearish favors downside trades. Neutral advises caution or range-bound trades.
- **Customizability:** Expiry, strike width, OTM/ITM offset, and chart resolution are user-controlled, allowing adaptation to different market contexts.
- **Best Practice:** Use alongside price action, support/resistance zones and other indicators to confirm options momentum, as MACD is powerful yet not infallible.
***
### Who Is It For?
- **Option traders** who want to automate trend/momentum detection for CE/PE strikes instead of manual chart switching.
- **Index traders** (NIFTY, BANKNIFTY...) seeking systematic edge in intraday/positional strategies tied to option momentum.
- **Technical analysts** interested in visual, rule-based signals combining options data and classic MACD logic.
***
The Smart Option MACD indicator streamlines multi-strike, multi-option momentum analysis and presents clear actionable logic directly on your chart for enhanced decision-making. Use it as a core part of your TradingView toolkit for options-focused market views.

Smart Trap Candle Detector [Pro]Purpose
The Smart Trap Candle Detector is designed to identify common fakeout scenarios in the market, where price breaks a key swing high or low and quickly reverses. These “trap candles” often mislead breakout traders and are commonly used by smart money to induce liquidity before reversing.
How It Works
The script detects potential trap candles using these conditions:
A bearish trap is identified when price breaks above a recent swing high and closes back below it.
A bullish trap is identified when price breaks below a recent swing low and closes back above it.
Optional confirmation from the previous candle’s direction can be enabled.
Swing highs/lows are calculated dynamically using a configurable lookback window.
Once a trap candle is confirmed, a signal is displayed on the chart along with optional labels and alert conditions.
Features
Detects fake breakouts of swing highs and lows
Configurable swing lookback period
Optional confirmation candle filter
Optional label display on trap bars
Built-in alerts for bullish and bearish trap signals
Lightweight, real-time signal detection
Usage Tips
Best used on intraday timeframes such as 15m, 30m, or 1H
Use around key support/resistance zones or liquidity areas
Combine with other confluence signals such as order blocks or RSI divergence
Adjust the swing lookback period depending on the volatility of the asset
Smart MTF S/R Levels[BullByte]
Smart MTF S/R Levels
Introduction & Motivation
Support and Resistance (S/R) levels are the backbone of technical analysis. However, most traders face two major challenges:
Manual S/R Marking: Drawing S/R levels by hand is time-consuming, subjective, and often inconsistent.
Multi-Timeframe Blind Spots: Key S/R levels from higher or lower timeframes are often missed, leading to surprise reversals or missed opportunities.
Smart MTF S/R Levels was created to solve these problems. It is a fully automated, multi-timeframe, multi-method S/R detection and visualization tool, designed to give traders a complete, objective, and actionable view of the market’s most important price zones.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Simultaneously analyzes up to three user-selected timeframes, ensuring you never miss a critical S/R level from any timeframe.
Multi-Method Confluence: Integrates several respected S/R detection methods—Swings, Pivots, Fibonacci, Order Blocks, and Volume Profile—into a single, unified system.
Zone Clustering: Automatically merges nearby levels into “zones” to reduce clutter and highlight areas of true market consensus.
Confluence Scoring: Each zone is scored by the number of methods and timeframes in agreement, helping you instantly spot the most significant S/R areas.
Reaction Counting: Tracks how many times price has recently interacted with each zone, providing a real-world measure of its importance.
Customizable Dashboard: A real-time, on-chart table summarizes all key S/R zones, their origins, confluence, and proximity to price.
Smart Alerts: Get notified when price approaches high-confluence zones, so you never miss a critical trading opportunity.
Why Should a Trader Use This?
Objectivity: Removes subjectivity from S/R analysis by using algorithmic detection and clustering.
Efficiency: Saves hours of manual charting and reduces analysis fatigue.
Comprehensiveness: Ensures you are always aware of the most relevant S/R zones, regardless of your trading timeframe.
Actionability: The dashboard and alerts make it easy to act on the most important levels, improving trade timing and risk management.
Adaptability: Works for all asset classes (stocks, forex, crypto, futures) and all trading styles (scalping, swing, position).
The Gap This Indicator Fills
Most S/R indicators focus on a single method or timeframe, leading to incomplete analysis. Manual S/R marking is error-prone and inconsistent. This indicator fills the gap by:
Automating S/R detection across multiple timeframes and methods
Objectively scoring and ranking zones by confluence and reaction
Presenting all this information in a clear, actionable dashboard
How Does It Work? (Technical Logic)
1. Level Detection
For each selected timeframe, the script detects S/R levels using:
SW (Swing High/Low): Recent price pivots where reversals occurred.
Pivot: Classic floor trader pivots (P, S1, R1).
Fib (Fibonacci): Key retracement levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786) over the last 50 bars.
Bull OB / Bear OB: Institutional price zones based on bullish/bearish engulfing patterns.
VWAP / POC: Volume Weighted Average Price and Point of Control over the last 50 bars.
2. Level Clustering
Levels within a user-defined % distance are merged into a single “zone.”
Each zone records which methods and timeframes contributed to it.
3. Confluence & Reaction Scoring
Confluence: The number of unique methods/timeframes in agreement for a zone.
Reactions: The number of times price has touched or reversed at the zone in the recent past (user-defined lookback).
4. Filtering & Sorting
Only zones within a user-defined % of the current price are shown (to focus on actionable areas).
Zones can be sorted by confluence, reaction count, or proximity to price.
5. Visualization
Zones: Shaded boxes on the chart (green for support, red for resistance, blue for mixed).
Lines: Mark the exact level of each zone.
Labels: Show level, methods by timeframe (e.g., 15m (3 SW), 30m (1 VWAP)), and (if applicable) Fibonacci ratios.
Dashboard Table: Lists all nearby zones with full details.
6. Alerts
Optional alerts trigger when price approaches a zone with confluence above a user-set threshold.
Inputs & Customization (Explained for All Users)
Show Timeframe 1/2/3: Enable/disable analysis for each timeframe (e.g., 15m, 30m, 1h).
Show Swings/Pivots/Fibonacci/Order Blocks/Volume Profile: Select which S/R methods to include.
Show levels within X% of price: Only display zones near the current price (default: 3%).
How many swing highs/lows to show: Number of recent swings to include (default: 3).
Cluster levels within X%: Merge levels close together into a single zone (default: 0.25%).
Show Top N Zones: Limit the number of zones displayed (default: 8).
Bars to check for reactions: How far back to count price reactions (default: 100).
Sort Zones By: Choose how to rank zones in the dashboard (Confluence, Reactions, Distance).
Alert if Confluence >=: Set the minimum confluence score for alerts (default: 3).
Zone Box Width/Line Length/Label Offset: Control the appearance of zones and labels.
Dashboard Size/Location: Customize the dashboard table.
How to Read the Output
Shaded Boxes: Represent S/R zones. The color indicates type (green = support, red = resistance, blue = mixed).
Lines: Mark the precise level of each zone.
Labels: Show the level, methods by timeframe (e.g., 15m (3 SW), 30m (1 VWAP)), and (if applicable) Fibonacci ratios.
Dashboard Table: Columns include:
Level: Price of the zone
Methods (by TF): Which S/R methods and how many, per timeframe (see abbreviation key below)
Type: Support, Resistance, or Mixed
Confl.: Confluence score (higher = more significant)
React.: Number of recent price reactions
Dist %: Distance from current price (in %)
Abbreviations Used
SW = Swing High/Low (recent price pivots where reversals occurred)
Fib = Fibonacci Level (key retracement levels such as 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786)
VWAP = Volume Weighted Average Price (price level weighted by volume)
POC = Point of Control (price level with the highest traded volume)
Bull OB = Bullish Order Block (institutional support zone from bullish price action)
Bear OB = Bearish Order Block (institutional resistance zone from bearish price action)
Pivot = Pivot Point (classic floor trader pivots: P, S1, R1)
These abbreviations appear in the dashboard and chart labels for clarity.
Example: How to Read the Dashboard and Labels (from the chart above)
Suppose you are trading BTCUSDT on a 15-minute chart. The dashboard at the top right shows several S/R zones, each with a breakdown of which timeframes and methods contributed to their detection:
Resistance zone at 119257.11:
The dashboard shows:
5m (1 SW), 15m (2 SW), 1h (3 SW)
This means the level 119257.11 was identified as a resistance zone by one swing high (SW) on the 5-minute timeframe, two swing highs on the 15-minute timeframe, and three swing highs on the 1-hour timeframe. The confluence score is 6 (total number of method/timeframe hits), and there has been 1 recent price reaction at this level. This suggests 119257.11 is a strong resistance zone, confirmed by multiple swing highs across all selected timeframes.
Mixed zone at 118767.97:
The dashboard shows:
5m (2 SW), 15m (2 SW)
This means the level 118767.97 was identified by two swing points on both the 5-minute and 15-minute timeframes. The confluence score is 4, and there have been 19 recent price reactions at this level, indicating it is a highly reactive zone.
Support zone at 117411.35:
The dashboard shows:
5m (2 SW), 1h (2 SW)
This means the level 117411.35 was identified as a support zone by two swing lows on the 5-minute timeframe and two swing lows on the 1-hour timeframe. The confluence score is 4, and there have been 2 recent price reactions at this level.
Mixed zone at 118291.45:
The dashboard shows:
15m (1 SW, 1 VWAP), 5m (1 VWAP), 1h (1 VWAP)
This means the level 118291.45 was identified by a swing and VWAP on the 15-minute timeframe, and by VWAP on both the 5-minute and 1-hour timeframes. The confluence score is 4, and there have been 12 recent price reactions at this level.
Support zone at 117103.10:
The dashboard shows:
15m (1 SW), 1h (1 SW)
This means the level 117103.10 was identified by a single swing low on both the 15-minute and 1-hour timeframes. The confluence score is 2, and there have been no recent price reactions at this level.
Resistance zone at 117899.33:
The dashboard shows:
5m (1 SW)
This means the level 117899.33 was identified by a single swing high on the 5-minute timeframe. The confluence score is 1, and there have been no recent price reactions at this level.
How to use this:
Zones with higher confluence (more methods and timeframes in agreement) and more recent reactions are generally more significant. For example, the resistance at 119257.11 is much stronger than the resistance at 117899.33, and the mixed zone at 118767.97 has shown the most recent price reactions, making it a key area to watch for potential reversals or breakouts.
Tip:
“SW” stands for Swing High/Low, and “VWAP” stands for Volume Weighted Average Price.
The format 15m (2 SW) means two swing points were detected on the 15-minute timeframe.
Best Practices & Recommendations
Use with Other Tools: This indicator is most powerful when combined with your own price action analysis and risk management.
Adjust Settings: Experiment with timeframes, clustering, and methods to suit your trading style and the asset’s volatility.
Watch for High Confluence: Zones with higher confluence and more reactions are generally more significant.
Limitations
No Future Prediction: The indicator does not predict future price movement; it highlights areas where price is statistically more likely to react.
Not a Standalone System: Should be used as part of a broader trading plan.
Historical Data: Reaction counts are based on historical price action and may not always repeat.
Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical analysis tool and does not constitute financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any asset. Trading involves risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use proper risk management and consult a financial advisor if needed.
