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.
QUEMA (Quadruple Exponential Moving Average)
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 Momentum Relative StrengthSmart Momentum Relative Strength
Creator Journey
The Smart Momentum Relative Strength indicator is
created by Vishal R. Janjire , inspired by BharatTrader sir, and parameters guided by mentor stockedge founder Vivek Bajaj sir.
Reason? ...Why choose Smart Momentum Relative Strength.
1.Simple to Trade: This indicator simplifies trading decisions. You just need to follow the background color displayed on the chart. When the background is green, it signals a bullish trend, and when it turns red, it signals a bearish trend. For an even cleaner experience, you can untick the Relative Strength (RS) toggle in the indicator settings and focus purely on trading based on these background colors, making the process straightforward and efficient.
2.Unlock the power to compare any stock, share, commodity, forex or cryptocurrency against major indices like Nasdaq Composite, NYSE Composite, Bitcoin, NG, Gold, Silver, Crude oil, Nasdaq-100, Nifty 50, Hang Seng Index, FTSE 100, and many more! With the Comparative Relative Strength (RS) indicator,
You can easily change the default Nifty 50 comparative symbol to any index or asset of your choice, such as Gold, Silver, Crude Oil, or global benchmarks like the Dow Jones Industrial Average, DAX, Euronext 100, and SSE Composite.
This versatile tool allows traders to measure how well a base symbol (e.g., stock or crypto) performs relative to a chosen benchmark over a specified period. Whether you're analyzing the relative strength of Bitcoin against the Nasdaq-100 or comparing stocks to the S&P 500, this indicator provides valuable insights into market trends and outperforming assets.
The Smart Momentum Relative Strength combines several advanced technical analysis tools into one comprehensive Pine Script indicator designed to provide a nuanced view of market strength and trends. This script integrates Relative Strength (RS), Commodity Channel Index (CCI), and additional trend confirmation mechanisms to deliver actionable insights for traders.
Below are key points to understand before using this indicator:
Important Parameters:
1. Green Line: Represents stocks outperforming the comparative index, which is Nifty 50. However, do not apply this result directly to Nifty 50 itself, as it will not work exclusively on the Nifty 50 index.
2. Red Line: Indicates that the stock is underperforming relative to the Nifty 50 index.
3. Green Background: Signifies that both the current time momentum and higher time momentum are aligned, indicating an upward trend.
4. Red Background: Signifies that both the current time momentum and higher time momentum are aligned, indicating a downward trend.
5. Blank Space: This occurs when the two timeframes are not aligned, indicating market uncertainty and signaling a potential change in market direction, it means short time frame or current time frame changed its direction to opposite side.
Multi-Time Frame (MTF) Settings:
This indicator incorporates a default multi-time frame setup, as follows:
1 and 2 Minute chart = 5 Minute higher time frame
3 Minute chart = 15 Minute higher time frame
5 Minute chart = 15 Minute higher time frame
10 Minute chart = 60 Minute higher time frame
15 Minute chart = 60 Minute higher time frame
20 and 30 Minute chart = 120 Minute higher time frame
1 Hour chart = 4 Hour higher time frame
2 Hour chart = 4 Hour higher time frame
4 Hour chart = 1 Day higher time frame
1 Day chart = 1 Week higher time frame
1 Week chart = 1 Month higher time frame
1 Month chart = 12 Month higher time frame
For any other chart time frame = Day time is default time frame
1. Relative Strength (RS) Analysis:
Calculation: Measures the performance of the base symbol relative to a comparative symbol over a specified period.
Visualization: The RS value is plotted with color-coded lines to indicate bullish (green) or bearish (red) conditions based on crossovers. Users can customize the color based on value or trend direction.
Trend Analysis: A simple moving average (SMA) of RS is displayed to visualize trend strength and direction, with color changes to reflect rising or falling trends.
2. Commodity Channel Index (CCI):
- Current Timeframe CCI: Calculates the CCI for the current timeframe to assess price momentum.
- Higher Timeframe CCI: Computes the CCI for a higher timeframe to provide a broader market perspective.
- Background Color: Highlights the chart background in green or red based on whether both current and higher timeframe CCIs are above or below zero, respectively.
-Blank Space: This occurs when the two timeframes are not aligned, indicating market uncertainty and signaling a potential change in market direction, it means short time frame or current time frame changed its direction to opposite side.
Smart Signals Assistant [AlgoAlpha]Introduction
The Smart Signals Assistant, developed by AlgoAlpha, is a robust trading tool designed to empower traders of all levels with a flexible, customizable overlay indicator. Built on proprietary logic, this tool can integrate seamlessly with other indicators or be used as a standalone tool and offers powerful market insights, enabling users to tailor their trading strategy by combining different components for unique strategies. Whether you focus on trend-following or mean-reversion strategies, the Smart Signals Assistant is optimized to support you across various market conditions.
Core Features
1. Trend Cipher Component (Trend Identification and Bar Coloring):
The Trend Cipher is the core feature of the Smart Signals Assistant. It offers an intuitive method to detect trends by displaying clear visual signals, such as arrows ("▲" for bullish trends and "▼" for bearish trends). Additionally, signal strength indications are also included where the arrows will have a '+' sign to signify a strong trend, a strong signal is determined when the volatility of prices are increasing. the candlesticks are color-coded to reflect market conditions—green for bullish, red for bearish, and gray when the market is ranging, ranging markets are marked when the prices end up retracing in the opposite direction after a signal is sent, indicating that buyers/sellers are not ready to continue the trend yet. These added layers of confluence allows users to judge if signals provided by the Trend Cipher are high probability signals.
- Exit Signals : "X" marks indicate potential take-profit points when momentum is waning. Users can set a maximum number of exit signals, allowing for greater control over trade management and predictable exit strategies.
- Customization : Users can adjust the period length for the Trend Cipher to suit different market conditions and strategies. For example, a shorter period is more sensitive and responsive to quick shifts in trends, while a longer period offers more stable signals for long-term traders.(longer periods shown below)
2. Trend Bias Component (Long-term Trend Filter and Confirmation):
The Trend Bias acts as a trend confirmation tool. It comes in the form of a smooth band that reflects the central tendency of price movements. It provides a more comprehensive view of whether the price is trend up or down, as well as whether the price is trending strongly or not. It does so by checking if the current momentum of price is stronger relative to the average momentum over a period of time.
As mentioned earlier, the Trend Bias can also act as a marker of central tendency, meaning that users can use the Trend Bias as a dynamic take-profit zone when executing reversal trades.
- When aligned with the Trend Cipher, the Trend Bias helps traders differentiate between strong and weak trends. Bright colors signify a robust trend, while subdued colors signal weakening momentum. This helps users avoid false signals and enter high-probability trades.
3. Fair Value Trail (Entry Optimization):
The Fair Value Trail is a zone-based component that helps users capture optimal entry points, such as when the market is overbought or oversold. By waiting for price retracements into the Fair Value Trail, traders can achieve better pricing and potentially maximize their profits. The Fair Value Trail is unique in the sense that it dynamically adjusts its width according to the market volatility so that the optimal entry area remains as relevant.
- This feature works in conjunction with the Trend Cipher by allowing users to wait for retracement before entering the trade, thus improving their risk-reward ratio.
4. Trend Spine (Range Detection and Filter):
The Trend Spine helps identify periods of price consolidation by flattening the price action into a rigid line. This helps traders avoid entering trades in choppy or directionless markets. The Trend Spine’s values remain unchanged during consolidations, alerting users when to refrain from trading due to a lack of trend direction.
- This feature integrates with other components, providing clearer signals for trading in trending markets while filtering out trades in ranging or consolidating markets.
5. Firmament Cloud (Reversal Zones):
The Firmament Cloud defines zones on the price chart that are considered extreme, indicating overbought or oversold conditions. Price reaching these zones suggests potential reversal points, giving traders additional confirmation to enter or exit trades. The separation of the upper and lower clouds as well of the width of each respective cloud are dynamically adjusted based on the aggressiveness of price movements coupled with user defined settings for some base parameters such as multipliers for separation and width.
- This component works well for traders using a mean-reversion strategy or those looking for early exits during overextended price movements.
Usage and Customization
The Smart Signals Assistant offers a flexible interface, making it simple to adjust settings such as indicator lengths, noise reduction factors, and display options. Key components, such as the Trend Cipher, Trend Bias, and Fair Value Trail, are highly customizable, allowing traders to create a unique trading system tailored to their specific needs. Tooltips accompany most inputs to help users quickly understand how to adjust the tool effectively.
Combining Components for Synergy
1. Trend Cipher and Trend Bias:
By combining the Trend Cipher with the Trend Bias, users receive both short-term and long-term trend confirmations. A bullish signal from the Trend Cipher, when aligned with an upward-trending Trend Bias, significantly enhances the likelihood of a profitable trade, minimizing the chances of acting on premature signals.
2. Fair Value Trail for Entry Optimization:
Rather than immediately acting on a Trend Cipher signal, users can wait for the price to enter the Fair Value Trail. This strategy ensures better entries at premium or discounted prices, maximizing potential returns.
3. Trend Spine for Range Detection:
The Trend Spine works alongside the Trend Cipher to keep traders out of consolidating markets. When the Trend Spine remains flat, it signals a ranging market, advising users to avoid trades during such periods.
4. Firmament Cloud for Reversal Points:
The Firmament Cloud identifies extreme market conditions, marking zones where traders should be cautious about entering trades. When combined with Trend Cipher signals, this component helps users pinpoint overbought or oversold markets, allowing for strategic entries and exits.
Conclusion
The Smart Signals Assistant is more than just a collection of individual indicators. It offers a comprehensive, multi-layered system that provides a deeper understanding of market dynamics, ranging from trend detection to reversal opportunities. The flexibility in customizing its various components allows traders to craft a strategy suited to their style, whether they prefer trend-following or mean-reversion methods. With this tool, traders can enhance decision-making, optimize entries and exits, and navigate both trending and ranging markets more effectively.
Smart Money Concepts (SMC)Introductions:
Before explaining the functions of this indicator to you, we need to talk about what theoretical knowledge we need to have. Many different price approaches have been developed over the decades with different analysis methods and are still evolving. Some theories used in classical trend analysis methods are interpreted or blended with different perspectives over time and we try to make more successful analyses by having a consistent market reading strategy. While analyzing the classical market structure with the price action method, some issues that are missing and do not fit into place are brought to light with a higher level analysis method known as the smart money concept.
As a result of the research and developments we have done on this subject from many different sources for a long time, I personally think that the most efficient and logical concept is the smart money concept. Of course, no matter which method we use, acting within a risk management and remaining strictly loyal to our conditions should be our first priority so that we can talk about sustainable success in the market. In light of all this, we decided to make an indicator of this concept, which we believe is consistent.
In order to analyze the market structure correctly, we must first draw fractal structures and interpret them correctly. Because the market consists of fractal structures. Regardless of the technique, if we cannot draw fractals correctly or if we make an incorrect interpretation while determining them, our market structure analysis may also be incorrect.
Instead of manually identifying fractal structures, script writers often choose the following method for ease of use; They leave the number of candles to the user's choice, detect the highest and lowest points among x number of candles, and draw fractal structures accordingly, but in fact this is not an accurate detection method. In the visual I have prepared below, you can see how the correct fractal structures should be drawn. Fractal structures should be made based on the previous and next candle levels, not from a certain group of candles.
To identify market structures, we make an interpretation based on these fractal movements.
While classic market structure analysis with traditional price action follows a relatively simpler path as shown in the example below, this situation is a bit more detailed in the smart money concepts.
To explain the situation in the smart money concept in an easily understandable way, it is as follows; imagine an uptrend that progresses by creating levels HH and HL, when the price creates a new HL, we call this point as inducement and we move this level up as each new HL is formed. When drawing structures in this way, when the price falls below the inducement level, the peak is confirmed. To explain it with a different approach, the price must first get liquidity from these last rising bottoms in order to make a break of structure (BOS). The break of structure occurs when the price passes the approved peak. When BOS occurs, the lowest point between this point and the previous peak is defined as the Swing Low and this is the level that needs to be protected in uptrend. When BOS occurs, the last HL point that made this BOS is also defined as inducement and it continues to move as new HL is formed until the new peak is confirmed. If the price somehow "closes" below the Swing Low point that needs to be protected, CHOCH (change of character) has occurred and the trend direction has changed. After CHOCH, we start applying the same logic for the downtrend, the last LH peak formed after is defined as inducement and as the fractal structure continues downward, this level is also carried as the inducement level until the Swing Low level is determined. An important note is; In order for BOS and CHOCH to be valid, "a closing must definitely occur". If it remains in the form of a wick, we call it a liquidity sweep and the end point of this wick is updated as the point where we need to look for a closing in order to be able to say that the BOS or CHOCH level is determined. By the way, We call these liquidity sweep points as "x" in the indicator.
It may be easier to explain this topic with a few sample images that I have shared below.
The thing to consider in the smart money concept is that if you are going to take a long trade in an uptrend, you should wait for the price to fall below the inducement level or if you are going to take a short trade in a downtrend, you should wait for the price to rise above the inducement level and only then look for suitable structures, order flows, order blocks, price gaps and other structures before this are considered traps in this concept. I have some strategies that I personally apply, but since these are my personal preferences, I do not find it right to share them here in order not to affect your opinions, but I am basically careful to act as I stated above.
While preparing this script, we paid attention to the fact that it can be interpreted with a real human eye, provides ease at the speed of machine language and can work extremely flawlessly.
From the first moment we started preparing the script, we went through a long and seriously laborious preparation process that lasted months until now, which we happily share.
We brought this code to life by putting on the table almost everything the user may want in terms of both flawlessly fulfilling the conditions specified by the concept and convenience.
If we touch on the function of the code in order, our code finds the following;
It perfectly identifies the fractals that form the basis of the market structure, within the framework of the rules that I mentioned above, we taught to the script.
According to smart money concepts, as I explained in detail above, it provides great convenience in this regard by skillfully identifying the direction of the market in the time period you are in, rather than traditional methods.
In addition to identifying the direction of the market, it also detects the direction changes taking place in the internal structure. Indicator tries to detect even the slightest direction changes by making a stricter interpretation while determining the trend and bottom-top points in the internal structure. Theoretically, it determines the top point in a downward fractal breakout, and marks the bottom point in an upward fractal breakout.
In this context, it also uniquely identifies the candle flow direction and we can observe it on the table. I explained this issue in the first image about fractal determination, you can read that part again.
When you identify swing structures correctly, you will also determine the area you need to focus on, and we have also included this in the script.
Another one of our favorite features on the chart is that it can show active swing areas live by following the BOS, CHOCH and Inducement lines. So, I believe that this gives it a more professional appearance.
In the light of all these functions, it provides great ease of use while presenting data on the direction of the market in a table not only in the current time frame but also in 6 different time frames that the user can choose according to his/her preference, including seconds timeframes (1 sec., 5 sec., 15 sec., 30 sec. etc.)
In order to speed up the user, it instantly informs the selected parity and all structural changes (Bos, Choch, Inducement, Liquidity Sweeps etc.) that occur on the market structure of this timeframe by setting a single alarm.
In the settings window, you will find the following settings that we have personalized for you:
Main Options;
Fractal Lines box: You can check this box to see whether the fractals that form the basic interpretation structure of the indicator are visible or not.
Swing Lines box: You can use this box to turn on or off the Bos, Choch, Inducement and Liquidity Sweeps lines, which are the main elements of the market structure.

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 Add-Ons [TFO]Supplementing my “Smart Money Essentials ” indicator, these add-ons provide some more commonly used “Smart Money Concepts,” including SMT Divergence, and HTF POI, and open price lines for added confluence.
Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence is meant to annotate divergence between closely correlated assets. Take $ES_F and $NQ_F for example (S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures). These two names normally track each other very closely, but if $ES_F is steadily rising towards a large institutional level and making higher highs, while $NQ_F is approaching a similarly important level and making lower highs on that same timeframe, this would indicate a divergence between the two assets that could foreshadow a “Smart Money Reversal.”
Open price lines can provide intraday levels of interest from important times of day, where the defaults are set to midnight (12:00 AM), 8:30 AM for news releases, and 9:30 AM New York market open (New York local time). The open prices at these times can often act as support and resistance when other confluence factors are present. Higher timeframe points of interest (HTF POI) are also helpful to remain mindful of imbalances and other inefficiencies in which lower timeframe price action may create some reversal structure.
Smart Money Concepts(v0.01) - SoldiSmart Money Concepts
We are very pleased to be releasing our latest addition to the Soldi tools, called Smart Money Concepts. What this indicator was built to be is a guideline and tool to help a trader develop the mental mind state of a Smart Money Trader. Picking up on the digital footprints that they might have missed! This is our first iteration of this tool but we have so so much more coming to bring to this tool! So much that we might need to release 2 scripts to be able to efficiently fit it all in. As always Soldi/MMCFX always try to raise the bar on what is possible with PineScript and what advanced concepts we can bring to the retail market with ease, this project was insanely fun trying to get together and we spent a lot of months talking with and doing sessions with very well versed traders who only specialize and solely trade live with Smart Money/ICT Concepts. After many months of talking with and working with these traders we believe we have put together a very unique tool that any SMC trader would love to have in their tool belt.
What is Smart Money Concepts?
Smart Money Concepts (SMC) is the practice of trying to track the digital footprints left by Market Makers and large money traders like Institutional bodies and brokers. I believe this concept was originally developed by Inner Circle Trading (ICT), who has some great great content for free on YouTube. To my knowledge he was the father of the concepts being taken mainstream to retail individuals. Since then, there has been many other who have released content on these theories. For the sake of congruency we have only developed these tools based off the knowledge and practices taught by ICT.
What is Included within this tool?
What is currently Included with this tool are the following.
Market Structure - This includes Break of Structures (BOS) and Change of Characters (CHoCH), It was really important for us to define the different shifts that SMC traders track and follow so we built a unique customizable system that allows the traders to track these Market Structure shifts in real-time. Part of this module includes the option to plot the High/Low labels, by putting this settings on you will mark out the swing points as their respective Higher High(HH), High Low(HL), Lower Low(LL) and Lower High(LH) . This feature is a great way to help familiarize yourself with spotting these instances, there is a slight lag due to the nature of the calculations for tracking the Swing Points. By default we track 4 left bars and 4 right bars, on the 5th bar if the swing point returns true you will see the label plot itself. If you have a higher bar count you will need to wait till x+1 to see the label be plotted. eg. 7 bar count on the left and right, you will need to wait till the 8th bar to see the label be plotted.
By changing the bar counts you also change how the Market Structure module picks up the Market shifts (BOS/CHoCH)
4 bar left, 4 bar right example:
7 bar left, 7 bar right example:
Liquidity Sweep - This part of the Market Structure module is still being worked on and built out, this feature is meant to help a trader identify potential liquidity sweeps that have taken place past or present by switching the bar color to the user defined color (default yellow). There are many different types of liquidity sweeps that can take place and we are still working on the different profiles of these! More profiles will be added to the the updates in the future to help identify these potential trade areas
Liquidity Sweep example:
Trend Bars - This part of the Market Structure module helps traders identify structure trends based on the breaks of existing structure. Again this will shift as you play with the bar count settings, low bar count will identify faster swing points and shifts where as higher bar counts will identify longer term structures. By having this setting on it will change the bar colors to Red(Bearish) or Blue(Bullish) by default, we recommend to change your candles border settings to make this more visible.
7 bar left, 7 bar right. With High Low Labels and Trend Bars
Fair Value Gaps - This module will track the Fair Value Gaps and Imbalances that will take place in real-time. Once the final candle closes it will plot the FVG. Unlike other FVG indicators on TradingView we hold and store ALL the FVG's that take place, other indicators will only hold on to x amount of the FVG's and as new ones enter the list the old ones get bumped out. We didn't like this idea, so what we did was instead store all of the FVG's but create a threshold to where they would be plotted, eg. if you set the threshold to 4% it will only show you the FVG's within a 4% range from the current price. This way you still have access to all the data with out compromising but it helps you focus on the current data at hand.
Fair Value Gap/Imbalance - 3% threshold example
Fair Value Gap/Imbalance - 8% threshold example
Order Blocks - This was an especially interesting module to build, just like the FVG's we found that a lot if not all the authors on TradingView haven't actually been coming close to tracking and plotting true ICT style Order blocks. We set out to change that though, again through a unique approach we have built this Order Block indicator. To also comment on the other scripts out there that claim to track Order Blocks, not a SINGLE script mentions anything about Validated Order Blocks , which was especially important to all the SMC traders I have talked to and had help from building this indicator. Just like the FVG piece this also has a 'threshold' plot, but not only that it gives you the option to look at "No Validation" and "Validated" Order Blocks. With soon another style of Validation to choose from. If you choose the "Validated" option the script will actively seek Order Blocks that have a POI/liquidity sitting above it. I also want to make it clear that based on your bar count settings the order blocks will differ, as they are also based from structure breaks!
Order Blocks with "No Validation" example
Order Blocks with "Validation" example
Advanced Session Tracking - We always seek to out do what has been done and what we have already done, that being said we built our Advanced Session Tracking module to follow each user define Session's Open, High, Low, Close, Liquidity threshold and extend that into the next session . As per our last KillZone indicator we also included the Forward Plotting feature which will plot the defined sessions 24 hours in advance vs only showing you real time. Many if not all Session tracking tools on TradingView only show you real-time and in the past when the define sessions are but we find that to be a very silly practice because as SMC traders you know how important it is the relation between time and price. Instead of reacting to the sessions you and prepare for the sessions ahead of time anticipating when price might react to time.
note: There is a small bug with tracking the crypto based sessions, this is working to be fixed for the next update, check the release notes to see when the fix occurs
Session Background plots with forward plotting example
Session Backgrounds with High/Lows and Liquidity range example
What is to come with the updates?
We are always looking to improve anything, even if it is just a fraction better. That is why we are continuing to work with our SMC traders to refine the concepts, profiles, coding as well as the logic behind the calculations.
Here is a list of what we are planning and working on to be released in the updates to come!
Intra-Day Profiling - Each day has a profile, what we want to achieve is to track and predict these profiles
Liquidity Scanner - There are different types of liquidity that form and we want to be able to find and track these
Smart Trend Alerts - We want to combine quant methods into SMC to provide high probability trade ideas
User Suggestions - We are always open to work with the community to bring features they want
If it's not Soldi, it isn't money
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 Concepts [PF]What is SMC in Trading?
SMC stands for Smart Money Concepts — a trading methodology that focuses on understanding and following the actions of institutional traders, often referred to as "smart money" (e.g., banks, hedge funds, and large financial institutions).
Instead of relying on traditional indicators (like RSI or MACD), SMC aims to read price action and market structure to identify where institutions are likely placing or manipulating orders.
🔑 Key Concepts in SMC:
Order Blocks – Areas on the chart where institutions placed large buy or sell orders.
Liquidity – Zones where many retail stop-losses are placed; institutions often target these.
Break of Structure (BOS) – A market structure shift that suggests a potential trend reversal or continuation.
Mitigation – When price returns to an order block to "fill" or mitigate unfilled institutional orders.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) – Gaps between candles that show imbalances in buying/selling pressure.

Smart Fib StrategySmart Fibonacci Strategy
This advanced trading strategy combines the power of adaptive SMA entries with Fibonacci-based exit levels to create a comprehensive trend-following system that self-optimizes based on historical market conditions. Credit goes to Julien_Eche who created the "Best SMA Finder" which received an Editors Pick award.
Strategy Overview
The Smart Fibonacci Strategy employs a two-pronged approach to trading:
1. Intelligent Entries: Uses a self-optimizing SMA (Simple Moving Average) to identify optimal entry points. The system automatically tests multiple SMA lengths against historical data to determine which period provides the most robust trading signals.
2. Fibonacci-Based Exits: Implements ATR-adjusted Fibonacci bands to establish precise exit targets, with risk-management options ranging from conservative to aggressive.
This dual methodology creates a balanced system that adapts to changing market conditions while providing clear visual reference points for trade management.
Key Features
- **Self-Optimizing Entries**: Automatically calculates the most profitable SMA length based on historical performance
- **Adjustable Risk Parameters**: Choose between low-risk and high-risk exit targets
- **Directional Flexibility**: Trade long-only, short-only, or both directions
- **Visualization Tools**: Customizable display of entry lines and exit bands
- **Performance Statistics**: Comprehensive stats table showing key metrics
- **Smoothing Option**: Reduces noise in the Fibonacci bands for cleaner signals
Trading Rules
Entry Signals
- **Long Entry**: When price crosses above the blue center line (optimal SMA)
- **Short Entry**: When price crosses below the blue center line (optimal SMA)
### Exit Levels
- **Low Risk Option**: Exit at the first Fibonacci band (1.618 * ATR)
- **High Risk Option**: Exit at the second Fibonacci band (2.618 * ATR)
Strategy Parameters
Display Settings
- Toggle visibility of the stats table and indicator components
Strategy Settings
- Select trading direction (long, short, or both)
- Choose exit method (low risk or high risk)
- Set minimum trades threshold for SMA optimization
SMA Settings
- Option to use auto-optimized or fixed-length SMA
- Customize SMA length when using fixed option
Fibonacci Settings
- Adjust ATR period and SMA basis for Fibonacci bands
- Enable/disable smoothing function
- Customize Fibonacci ratio multipliers
Appearance Settings
- Modify colors, line widths, and transparency
Optimization Methodology
The strategy employs a sophisticated optimization algorithm that:
1. Tests multiple SMA lengths against historical data
2. Evaluates performance based on trade count, profit factor, and win rate
3. Calculates a "robustness score" that balances profitability with statistical significance
4. Selects the SMA length with the highest robustness score
This ensures that the strategy's entry signals are continuously adapting to the most effective parameters for current market conditions.
Risk Management
Position sizing is fixed at $2,000 per trade, allowing for consistent exposure across all trading setups. The Fibonacci-based exit system provides two distinct risk management approaches:
- **Conservative Approach**: Using the first Fibonacci band for exits produces more frequent but smaller wins
- **Aggressive Approach**: Using the second Fibonacci band allows for larger potential gains at the cost of increased volatility
Ideal Usage
This strategy is best suited for:
- Trending markets with clear directional moves
- Timeframes from 4H to Daily for most balanced results
- Instruments with moderate volatility (stocks, forex, commodities)
Traders can further enhance performance by combining this strategy with broader market analysis to confirm the prevailing trend direction.
Smart FlexRange Breakout [The_lurker]The Smart FlexRange Breakout tool aims to identify trading opportunities based on price breakouts of dynamic levels (CALL, PUT) with a dotted centerline and the ability to select the applicable market. The tool relies on candlestick analysis over a specific time period (such as 3 hours). Candle data (searchHours) is collected to identify the most significant candle based on candlestick patterns and trading volume during the selected timeframe. Breakout levels and take-profit (TP) targets are then plotted, along with buy and sell signals, breakout notifications, and up/down trend lines based on Pivot Points.
The tool is run according to the selected timeframe.
Practical Use
1- Setup: Adjust the market, timeframe, number of hours, and time zone to suit the trader's needs.
2- Trading: Monitor signals (BUY/SELL) and TP levels to determine entry and exit points.
3- Trend Lines: Use them to understand the overall trend and confirm signals.
---
1. Objective: Identify trading opportunities based on price breakouts
- Trading opportunities: The indicator is designed to help traders identify moments when significant price movements are likely, allowing them to enter buy or sell trades based on market changes.
- Price breakouts: The indicator focuses on moments when prices break through key levels (resistance or support). A breakout occurs when the price exceeds a resistance level (up) or breaks a support level (down), indicating a potential continuation of the movement in the same direction.
- Dynamic: Resistance and support levels are not static; rather, they are calculated based on candlestick analysis over a specific period of time, making them adaptive to current market conditions.
---
2. Dynamic levels (resistance and support levels)
- Resistance levels: These represent prices that the price is difficult to break above, defined here as the high of the most significant candle during the specified period.
- Support levels: These represent prices below which the price is difficult to fall, defined as the low of the most significant candle.
- Dynamic: These levels are recalculated every new search period (searchHours), meaning they change based on the latest market data, unlike traditional static levels.
---
3. Adding a Dotted Center Line
- Center Line: A horizontal dotted line is drawn at the midpoint between the high and low of the most significant candle.
- Purpose:
- Provides a visual reference point for determining the current price position relative to support and resistance levels.
- Helps assess whether the price is moving toward a breakout (near resistance) or a breakout (near support).
- Dotted: The dotted pattern distinguishes it from the solid upper and lower lines, making it easier to distinguish visually.
---
4. Relying on candlestick analysis over a specific time period (searchHours)
- Candlestick Analysis: The indicator examines candlesticks to determine which ones have the most influence on price movement.
- Timeframe (searchHours):
- The user specifies the number of hours (1-6) for candle analysis, which determines the range of data the indicator relies on.
- Example: If searchHours = 3 and timeframe = 30 minutes, 6 candles are analyzed (3 hours ÷ 30 minutes).
- Flexibility: This period can be adjusted to suit different markets (such as volatile cryptocurrencies or more stable Forex).
---
5. Determining the Most Important Candle Based on Candle Patterns and Volume
- The most important candle: is the candle believed to have the greatest impact on price movement based on specific criteria.
- Candle Patterns:
- Candles are analyzed using a candlestick pattern library (such as Engulfing, Hammer, Doji).
- Reversal patterns (such as Morning Star, Shooting Star) are given a high importance score (100 points) because they indicate potential trend changes.
- Trading Volume:
- The trading volume of each candle is measured and compared to the maximum and minimum during the period.
- Volume is calculated as a percentage (0-100) and added to the pattern score to determine the most significant candle.
- Result: The candle with the highest score (patterns + volume) is used to determine support and resistance levels.
---
6. Timeframe
- Time interval: The user selects a time frame for the candles (15, 30, or 60 minutes).
- Importance:
- Determines the number of candles analyzed during the searchHours period.
- Affects the accuracy and speed of the signals (shorter timeframe = faster but less reliable signals; longer timeframe = slower but more reliable signals).
- Example: If the timeframe is 60 minutes and searchHours is 3, only 3 candles are analyzed.
---
7. Drawing Breakout Levels and Take Profit Targets (TP)
- Breakout Levels:
- Upper line (resistance): Drawn at the highest price of the most significant candle and is labeled "CALL".
- Lower line (support): Drawn at the lowest price of the most important candle and is called "PUT."
- These lines represent levels where a breakout is expected to lead to a strong price movement.
- Take Profit Targets (TP):
- Up to 8 bullish (above the upper line) and bearish (below the lower line) TP levels are calculated.
- They are calculated based on a percentage (tpPercentage) added or subtracted from the base lines.
- Example: If tpPercentage = 0.6% and the high price = 100, then bullish TP1 = 100.6, TP2 = 101.2, etc.
- Labels: Labels are drawn for each TP level indicating the value and level (TP1, TP2, etc.).
---
8. Buy and Sell Signals
- Buy (BUY) signal:
- Generated when the price breaks the upper line (ta.crossover).
- The "BUY" label is drawn with the redrawing of the TP levels.
- Sell signal (SELL):
- Generated when the price breaks the lower line (ta.crossunder).
- The "SELL" label is drawn with the redrawing of the TP levels.
- Purpose: To provide clear signals to the trader for making trade entry decisions.

تهدف أداة Smart FlexRange Breakout إلى تحديد فرص التداول بناءً على اختراقات الأسعار للمستويات الديناميكية (CALL، PUT) مع خط مركزي منقط، مع إمكانية اختيار السوق المناسب. تعتمد الأداة على تحليل الشموع اليابانية على مدى فترة زمنية محددة (مثل 3 ساعات). تُجمع بيانات الشموع (searchHours) لتحديد أهم شمعة بناءً على أنماط الشموع وحجم التداول خلال الإطار الزمني المحدد. ثم تُرسم مستويات الاختراق وأهداف جني الأرباح (TP)، بالإضافة إلى إشارات البيع والشراء، وإشعارات الاختراق، وخطوط الاتجاه الصعودي/الهبوطي بناءً على نقاط المحور.
يتم تشغيل الاداه حسب الفاصل المختار timeframe
الاستخدام العملي
1- الإعداد: اضبط السوق، والإطار الزمني، وعدد الساعات، والمنطقة الزمنية لتناسب احتياجات المتداول.
2- التداول: راقب إشارات (الشراء/البيع) ومستويات جني الأرباح لتحديد نقاط الدخول والخروج.
3- خطوط الاتجاه: استخدمها لفهم الاتجاه العام وتأكيد الإشارات.
1. الهدف: تحديد فرص التداول بناءً على اختراقات الأسعار
- فرص التداول: صُمم هذا المؤشر لمساعدة المتداولين على تحديد اللحظات التي يُحتمل فيها حدوث تحركات سعرية كبيرة، مما يسمح لهم بالدخول في صفقات شراء أو بيع بناءً على تغيرات السوق.
- اختراقات الأسعار: يُركز المؤشر على اللحظات التي تخترق فيها الأسعار مستويات رئيسية (مقاومة أو دعم). يحدث الاختراق عندما يتجاوز السعر مستوى مقاومة (صعودًا) أو يخترق مستوى دعم (هبوطًا)، مما يُشير إلى احتمال استمرار الحركة في نفس الاتجاه.
- ديناميكي: مستويات المقاومة والدعم ليست ثابتة؛ بل تُحسب بناءً على تحليل الشموع اليابانية على مدى فترة زمنية محددة، مما يجعلها مُكيفة مع ظروف السوق الحالية.
2. المستويات الديناميكية (مستويات المقاومة والدعم)
- مستويات المقاومة: تُمثل هذه الأسعار التي يصعب على السعر تجاوزها، وتُعرف هنا بأنها ارتفاع الشمعة الأكثر أهمية خلال الفترة المحددة.
- مستويات الدعم: تُمثل هذه الأسعار التي يصعب على السعر الانخفاض دونها، وتُعرف بأنها أدنى مستوى للشمعة الأكثر أهمية.
- ديناميكي: تُعاد حساب هذه المستويات مع كل فترة بحث جديدة (ساعات البحث)، مما يعني أنها تتغير بناءً على أحدث بيانات السوق، على عكس المستويات الثابتة التقليدية.
3. إضافة خط مركزي منقط
- خط المركز: يُرسم خط أفقي منقط عند نقطة المنتصف بين أعلى وأدنى شمعة ذات أهمية.
- الغرض:
- يوفر نقطة مرجعية بصرية لتحديد وضع السعر الحالي بالنسبة لمستويات الدعم والمقاومة.
- يساعد في تقييم ما إذا كان السعر يتحرك نحو اختراق (بالقرب من المقاومة) أو اختراق (بالقرب من الدعم).
- منقط: يُميزه النمط المنقط عن الخطوط العلوية والسفلية المتصلة، مما يُسهّل تمييزه بصريًا.
4. الاعتماد على تحليل الشموع اليابانية على مدى فترة زمنية محددة (ساعات البحث)
- تحليل الشموع اليابانية: يفحص المؤشر الشموع اليابانية لتحديد أيها الأكثر تأثيرًا على حركة السعر.
- الإطار الزمني (ساعات البحث):
- يُحدد المستخدم عدد الساعات (من 1 إلى 6) لتحليل الشموع، والذي يُحدد نطاق البيانات التي يعتمد عليها المؤشر.
- مثال: إذا كانت ساعات البحث = 3 والإطار الزمني = 30 دقيقة، فسيتم تحليل 6 شموع (3 ساعات ÷ 30 دقيقة).
- المرونة: يُمكن تعديل هذه الفترة لتناسب الأسواق المختلفة (مثل العملات المشفرة المتقلبة أو سوق الفوركس الأكثر استقرارًا).
5. تحديد الشمعة الأكثر أهمية بناءً على أنماط الشموع وحجم التداول
- الشمعة الأكثر أهمية: هي الشمعة التي يُعتقد أن لها التأثير الأكبر على حركة السعر بناءً على معايير محددة.
- أنماط الشموع:
- يتم تحليل الشموع باستخدام مكتبة أنماط الشموع (مثل شمعة الابتلاع، وشمعة المطرقة، وشمعة الدوجي).
- تُمنح أنماط الانعكاس (مثل نجمة الصباح، ونجم الشهاب) درجة أهمية عالية (100 نقطة) لأنها تُشير إلى تغيرات محتملة في الاتجاه.
- حجم التداول:
- يُقاس حجم تداول كل شمعة ويُقارن بالحد الأقصى والأدنى خلال الفترة.
- يُحسب الحجم كنسبة مئوية (0-100) ويُضاف إلى درجة النمط لتحديد الشمعة الأكثر أهمية.
- النتيجة: تُستخدم الشمعة ذات أعلى درجة (الأنماط + الحجم) لتحديد مستويات الدعم والمقاومة.
٦. الإطار الزمني
- الفاصل الزمني: يختار المستخدم إطارًا زمنيًا للشموع (١٥، ٣٠، أو ٦٠ دقيقة).
- الأهمية:
- يحدد عدد الشموع المُحللة خلال فترة ساعات البحث.
- يؤثر على دقة وسرعة الإشارات (الإطار الزمني الأقصر = إشارات أسرع ولكن أقل موثوقية؛ الإطار الزمني الأطول = إشارات أبطأ ولكن أكثر موثوقية).
- مثال: إذا كان الإطار الزمني ٦٠ دقيقة وساعات البحث ٣، فسيتم تحليل ٣ شموع فقط.
---
٧. رسم مستويات الاختراق وأهداف جني الأرباح (TP)
- مستويات الاختراق:
- الخط العلوي (المقاومة): يُرسم عند أعلى سعر للشمعة الأكثر أهمية ويُسمى "CALL".
- الخط السفلي (الدعم): يُرسم عند أدنى سعر للشمعة الأكثر أهمية ويُسمى "PUT".
- تمثل هذه الخطوط المستويات التي يُتوقع أن يؤدي فيها الاختراق إلى حركة سعرية قوية.
- أهداف جني الأرباح (TP):
- يتم حساب ما يصل إلى 8 مستويات جني أرباح صعودية (فوق الخط العلوي) وهبوطية (تحت الخط السفلي).
- يتم حسابها بناءً على نسبة مئوية (tpPercentage) تُضاف أو تُطرح من خطوط الأساس.
- مثال: إذا كانت نسبة جني الأرباح = 0.6% وكان أعلى سعر = 100، فإن هدف الربح الصعودي الأول = 100.6، وهدف الربح الثاني = 101.2، وهكذا.
- العلامات: تُرسم علامات لكل مستوى جني أرباح تشير إلى القيمة والمستوى (TP1، TP2، وهكذا).
---
8. إشارات الشراء والبيع
- إشارة الشراء (BUY):
- تُولّد عند اختراق السعر للخط العلوي (ta.crossover).

Smart Range DetectorSmart Range Detector
What It Does
This indicator automatically detects and validates significant trading ranges using pivot point analysis combined with logarithmic fibonacci relationships. It operates by identifying specific pivot patterns (High-Low-High and Low-High-Low) that meet fibonacci validation criteria to filter out noise and highlight only the most reliable trading ranges. Each range is continuously monitored for potential mitigation (breakout) events.
Key Features
Identifies both High-Low-High and Low-High-Low range patterns
Validates each range using logarithmic fibonacci relationships (more accurate than linear fibs)
Detects range mitigations (breakouts) and visually differentiates them
Shows fibonacci levels within ranges (25%, 50%, 75%) for potential reversal points
Visualizes extension levels beyond ranges for breakout targets
Analyzes volume profile with customizable price divisions (default: 60)
Displays Point of Control (POC) and Value Area for traded volume analysis
Implements performance optimization with configurable range limits
Includes user-adjustable safety checks to prevent Pine Script limitations
Offers fully customizable colors, line widths, and transparency settings
How To Use It
Identify Valid Ranges : The indicator automatically detects and highlights trading ranges that meet fibonacci validation criteria
Monitor Fibonacci Levels : Watch for price reactions at internal fib levels (25%, 50%, 75%) for potential reversal opportunities
Track Extension Targets : Use the extension lines as potential targets when price breaks out of a range
Analyze Volume Structure : Enable the volume profile mode to see where most volume was traded within mitigated ranges
Trade Range Boundaries : Look for reactions at range highs/lows combined with volume POC for higher probability entries
Manage Performance : Adjust the maximum displayed ranges and history bars settings for optimal chart performance
Settings Guide
Left/Right Bars Look Back : Controls how far back the indicator looks to identify pivot points (higher values find more ranges but may reduce sensitivity)
Max History Bars : Limits how far back in history the indicator will analyze (stays within Pine Script's 10,000 bar limitation)
Max Ranges to Display : Restricts the total number of ranges kept in memory for improved performance (1-50)
Volume Profile : When enabled, shows volume distribution analysis for mitigated ranges
Volume Profile Divisions : Controls the granularity of the volume analysis (higher values show more detail)
Display Options : Toggle visibility of range lines, fibonacci levels, extension lines, and volume analysis elements
Transparency & Color Settings : Fully customize the visual appearance of all indicator elements
Line Width Settings : Adjust the thickness of lines for better visibility on different timeframes
Technical Details
The indicator uses logarithmic fibonacci calculations for more accurate price relationships
Volume profile analysis creates 60 price divisions by default (adjustable) for detailed volume distribution
All timestamps are properly converted to work with Pine Script's bar limitations
Safety checks prevent "array index out of bounds" errors that plague many complex indicators
Time-based coordinates are used instead of bar indices to prevent "bar index too far" errors
This indicator works well on all timeframes and instruments, but performs best on 5-minute to daily charts. Perfect for swing traders, range traders, and breakout strategists.
What Makes It Different
Most range indicators simply draw boxes based on recent highs and lows. Smart Range Detector validates each potential range using proven fibonacci relationships to filter out noise. It then adds sophisticated volume analysis to help traders identify the most significant price levels within each range. The performance optimization features ensure smooth operation even on lower timeframes and extended history analysis.
Smart % Levels📈 Smart % Levels – Visualize Significant Percentage Moves
What it does:
This indicator plots horizontal levels based on a percentage change from the previous day's close (or open, if selected). It allows traders to visualize price movements relative to meaningful thresholds like ±1%, ±2%, etc.
What makes it different:
Unlike other level indicators, Smart % Levels only displays the relevant levels based on current price action. This avoids clutter by showing only the levels that are being approached or crossed by the current price. It's a clean and dynamic way to visualize key price zones for intraday analysis.
How it works:
- Select between using the previous day's Close or Open as the reference
- Choose the percentage spacing between levels (e.g., 1%, 0.5%, etc.)
- Enable optional labels to see the exact percentage of each level
- Automatically filters levels to only show those between yesterday's price and today's current price
- Includes customization for colors, line styles, widths, and opacity
Best for:
Day traders and scalpers who want a quick, clean view of how far the current price has moved from yesterday’s reference, without being overwhelmed by unnecessary lines.
Extra notes:
- The levels are recalculated each day at the market open
- All graphics reset at the start of each session to maintain clarity
- This script avoids repainting by only plotting levels relative to available historical data (no lookahead)

Smart Dynamic Stop Loss (SDSL) IndicatorSmart Dynamic Stop Loss (SDSL) Indicator
The Smart Dynamic Stop Loss (SDSL) Indicator creates a stop loss level that dynamically adapts to market conditions.
How It Works / How To Calculate:
1. **Initialization**: The indicator initially sets a stop loss level at a specified percentage (default 2%, user-adjustable) below the current price.
2. **Upward Movement**: As the price rises, the stop loss level moves up as well. However, it always remains at the specified percentage below the highest price reached. This allows the price room to move while protecting gains.
3. **Downward or Sideways Movement**: When the price falls or moves sideways, the stop loss level remains static. This prevents premature exits during minor pullbacks or consolidations.
4. **Price Crosses Below Stop Loss**: If the price drops below the stop loss level, the indicator resets. It sets a new stop loss level at the specified percentage below the low of the candle where the crossover occurred.
5. **Continuous Adaptation**: This process repeats across the entire chart, constantly adjusting to price movements.
note: When the price intersects with the dynamic stop loss line, it resets at 2% below the candle's lowest value (this is the default value, but it can be adjusted by the user)
Key Features
- **User-Configurable**: The stop loss percentage can be adjusted by the user.
- **Visual Alerts**: The indicator plots the stop loss line on the chart.
- **Triggered Signals**: Optional visual signals are displayed when the stop loss is triggered.
- **Information Display**: A data box shows the current stop loss level.
Usage
1. Apply the indicator to the chart.
2. Adjust the stop loss percentage if desired (default is 2%).
3. Monitor the dynamic stop loss level.
4. Watch for visual alerts for potential signals.
Smart Money Concepts by WeloTradesThe "Smart Money Concepts by WeloTrades" indicator is designed to offer traders a comprehensive tool that integrates multiple advanced features to aid in market analysis. By combining order blocks, liquidity levels, fair value gaps, trendlines, and market structure analysis, the indicator provides a holistic approach to understanding market dynamics and making informed trading decisions.
Components and Their Integration:
Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks Detection
Functionality: Order blocks represent areas where significant buying or selling occurred, creating potential support or resistance zones. Breaker blocks signal potential reversals.
Integration: By detecting and visualizing these blocks, the indicator helps traders identify key levels where price might react, aiding in entry and exit decisions. The customizable settings allow traders to adjust the visibility and parameters to suit their specific trading strategy.
Liquidity Levels Analysis
Functionality: Liquidity levels indicate zones where significant price movements can occur due to the presence of large orders. These are areas where smart money might be executing trades.
Integration: By tracking these high-probability liquidity areas, traders can anticipate potential price movements. Customizable display limits and mitigation strategies ensure that the information is tailored to the trader’s needs, providing precise and actionable insights.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Functionality: Fair value gaps highlight areas where there is an imbalance between buyers and sellers. These gaps often represent potential trading opportunities.
Integration: The ability to identify and analyze FVGs helps traders spot potential entries based on market inefficiencies. The touch and break detection functionalities provide further refinement, enhancing the precision of trading signals.
Trendlines
Functionality: Trendlines help in identifying the direction of the market and potential reversal points. The additional trendline adds a layer of confirmation for breaks or retests.
Integration: Automatically drawn trendlines assist traders in visualizing market trends and making decisions about potential entries and exits. The additional trendline for stronger confirmation reduces the risk of false signals, providing more reliable trading opportunities.
Market Structure Analysis
Functionality: Understanding market structure is crucial for identifying key support and resistance levels and overall market dynamics. This component displays internal, external, and composite market structures.
Integration: By automatically highlighting shifts in market structure, the indicator helps traders recognize important levels and potential changes in market direction. This analysis is critical for strategic planning and execution in trading.
Customizable Alerts
Functionality: Alerts ensure that traders do not miss significant market events, such as the formation or breach of order blocks, liquidity levels, and trendline interactions.
Integration: Customizable alerts enhance the user experience by providing timely notifications of key events. This feature ensures that traders can act quickly and efficiently, leveraging the insights provided by the indicator.
Interactive Visualization
Functionality: Customizable visual aspects of the indicator allow traders to tailor the display to their preferences and trading style.
Integration: This feature enhances user engagement and usability, making it easier for traders to interpret the data and make informed decisions. Personalization options like colors, styles, and display formats improve the overall effectiveness of the indicator.
How Components Work Together
Comprehensive Market Analysis
Each component of the indicator addresses a different aspect of market analysis. Order blocks and liquidity levels highlight potential support and resistance zones, while fair value gaps and trendlines provide additional context for potential entries and exits. Market structure analysis ties everything together by offering a broad view of market dynamics.
Synergistic Insights
The integration of multiple features allows for cross-validation of trading signals. For instance, an order block coinciding with a high-probability liquidity level and a fair value gap can provide a stronger signal than any of these features alone. This synergy enhances the reliability of the insights and trading signals generated by the indicator.
Enhanced Decision Making
By combining these advanced features into a single tool, traders are equipped with a powerful resource for making informed decisions. The customizable alerts and interactive visualization further support this by ensuring that traders can act quickly on the insights provided.

Smart Market Structure and Swing Points, version 1.0Smart Market Structure and Swing Points, Version 1.0
Overview
The Smart Market Structure and Swing Points script is designed to provide advanced insights into market structure and key swing points. This script helps identify important highs and lows, trend direction changes (structure breaks), and swing points, enhancing decision-making for both trend-following and reversal strategies. See below for detail presentation and why it has unique features.
Unique Features of the New Script
Market Structure Identification : Analyzes and marks key highs and lows to determine market structure, including higher highs, lower highs, higher lows, and lower lows.
Customizable Detection Length : Allows users to set the length for detecting highs and lows, providing flexibility to adapt to different market conditions and timeframes. Default value is 5 bars, but can be changed if needed.
Visual Signal Indicators (Labels) : Plots labels on the chart to indicate higher highs (HH), lower highs (LH), higher lows (HL), and lower lows (LL), along with corresponding RSI values, offering clear visual cues for market structure analysis. The indication of RSI values directly on high and low points enables to better judge whether the points are strong references (extreme RSI values) or weak references (middle RSI values)
Dynamic Trend Lines : Draws solid and dotted lines to connect significant highs and lows, visually representing the current trend direction and potential trend changes. Dashed lines indicates structure breaks.
Swing High and Swing Low Detection : Identifies and marks the most recent swing highs and swing lows, helping traders spot potential reversal points and key levels for setting stop losses or take profit targets .
Originality and Usefulness
This script combines market structure, trend breaks and RSI to provide a more robust view of market dynamic by indicating the strength or weakness of swing points , in that way the script is unique.
Signal Description
The script includes various signal features that highlight potential trading opportunities based on market structure:
Higher Highs (HH) and Higher Lows (HL) : These labels are plotted when new highs or lows are formed, indicating a continuation of an uptrend. The labels are positioned with consideration of the Average True Range (ATR) for better visibility.
Lower Highs (LH) and Lower Lows (LL) : These labels are plotted when new highs or lows are formed, indicating a continuation of a downtrend. The labels include RSI values to provide additional information on the strength or weakness of the points.
Trend Direction Change : Dotted lines are drawn to indicate potential trend direction changes when the script detects significant shifts in market structure.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows : These are identified based on a customizable swing length, marking recent significant highs and lows to highlight potential reversal points.
These signals help identify high-probability turning points and confirm trend direction by ensuring that the market structure aligns with the trading strategy.
Detailed Description
Input Variables
Length for High/Low Detection (`length`) : Defines the range to check for highs and lows. Default is 5.
RSI Length (`rsilength`) : The number of periods to calculate the RSI. Default is 14.
Functionality
Market Structure Calculation : The script determines the highest high and lowest low within the specified range to identify key points in market structure.
```pine
h = ta.highest(high, length * 2 + 1)
l = ta.lowest(low, length * 2 + 1)
```
Directional Logic : Variables and functions manage the state of the indicator, updating highs and lows based on the current trend direction.
```pine
var bool dirUp = false
var float lastLow = high * 100
var float lastHigh = 0.0
// Additional variables for tracking state
```
Drawing Lines and Labels : Functions draw lines and labels on the chart to visualize market structure and trend changes.
```pine
f_drawLine() =>
_li_color = dirUp ? color.red : color.lime
line.new(x1=timeHigh - length, y1=lastHigh, x2=timeLow - length, y2=lastLow, color=_li_color, width=3, style=line.style_solid, xloc=xloc.bar_index)
f_drawLastLine() =>
_li_color = dirUp ? color.blue : color.blue
if timeHigh > timeLow
line.new(x1=timeHigh - length, y1=lastHigh, x2=bar_index, y2=low, color=_li_color, width=2, style=line.style_dotted, xloc=xloc.bar_index)
else
line.new(x1=timeLow - length, y1=lastLow, x2=bar_index, y2=high, color=_li_color, width=2, style=line.style_dotted, xloc=xloc.bar_index)
```
Updating Highs and Lows : The main logic updates highs and lows based on the current trend direction, adding labels for new higher highs, lower highs, higher lows, and lower lows.
```pine
if dirUp
if f_isMin(length)
lastLow := low
// Additional logic for updating lows and labels
if f_isMax(length) and high > lastLow
lastHigh := high
// Additional logic for updating highs and labels
dirUp := false
li := f_drawLine()
```
Swing Highs and Lows : The script identifies recent swing highs and swing lows based on a customizable swing length, drawing lines to mark these points.
```pine
swingLength = 3 * length
isSwingHigh = ta.highestbars(high, swingLength) == 0
isSwingLow = ta.lowestbars(low, swingLength) == 0
if (isSwingHigh)
if (na(highLine))
highLine := line.new(bar_index, high, bar_index, high, color=color.green, style=line.style_solid, width=1)
else
line.set_xy1(highLine, bar_index, high)
line.set_xy2(highLine, bar_index + swingLength, high)
if (isSwingLow)
if (na(lowLine))
lowLine := line.new(bar_index, low, bar_index, low, color=color.red, style=line.style_solid, width=1)
else
line.set_xy1(lowLine, bar_index, low)
line.set_xy2(lowLine, bar_index + swingLength, low)
```
How to Use
Configuring Inputs : Adjust the detection length and RSI length as needed. Modify the lookback periods to suit your trading strategy. The indicator is adaptable and can be used on any timeframe.
Interpreting the Indicator : Use the labels and lines to gauge market structure and trend direction. Look for higher highs, lower highs, higher lows, and lower lows to confirm market structure.
