chanlun缠论 - 笔与中枢Overview
The Chanlun (缠论) Strokes & Central Zones indicator is an advanced technical analysis tool based on Chinese Chan Theory (Chanlun Theory). It automatically identifies market structure through "strokes" (笔) and "central hubs" (中枢), providing traders with a systematic framework for understanding price movements, trend structure, and potential reversal zones.
Theoretical Foundation
Chan Theory is a sophisticated price action methodology that breaks down market movements into hierarchical structures:
Local Extremes: Swing highs and lows identified through lookback periods
Strokes (笔): Valid price movements between opposite extremes that meet specific criteria
Central Hubs (中枢): Consolidation zones formed by overlapping strokes, representing key support/resistance areas
Key Components
1. Local Extreme Detection
Identifies swing highs and lows using a configurable lookback period (default: 5 bars)
Only considers extremes within the specified calculation range
Forms the foundation for stroke construction
2. Stroke (笔) Identification
The indicator applies a multi-stage filtering process to identify valid strokes:
Stage 1 - Extreme Consolidation:
Merges consecutive extremes of the same type (high or low)
Keeps only the most extreme value (highest high or lowest low)
Stage 2 - Stroke Validation:
Ensures minimum bar gap between strokes (default: 4 bars)
Alternative validation: 2+ bars with >1% price change
Eliminates noise and insignificant price movements
Color Coding:
White Lines: Regular up/down strokes
Yellow Lines: Strokes that form part of a central hub
Customizable width and colors for different stroke types
3. Central Hub (中枢) Formation
A central hub forms when at least 3 consecutive strokes have overlapping price ranges:
Formation Rules:
Stroke 1:
Stroke 2:
Stroke 3:
Hub Upper = MIN(High1, High2, High3)
Hub Lower = MAX(Low1, Low2, Low3)
Valid if: Hub Upper > Hub Lower
Hub Extension:
Subsequent strokes that overlap with the hub extend it
Hub ends when a stroke no longer overlaps
Creates rectangular zones on the chart
Visual Representation:
Green rectangular boxes: Mark the time and price range of each central hub
Dashed extension lines: Show the latest hub boundaries extending to the right
Price labels on axis: Display exact hub upper and lower boundary values
4. Extreme Point Markers (Optional)
Red markers for tops (▼)
Green markers for bottoms (▲)
Marks every validated stroke extreme point
Useful for detailed structure analysis
5. Information Table (Optional)
Displays real-time statistics:
Symbol name
Current timeframe

Trading Applications
Trend Structure Analysis
Uptrend: Series of higher highs and higher lows connected by strokes
Downtrend: Series of lower highs and lower lows connected by strokes
Consolidation: Formation of central hubs indicating range-bound movement
Support and Resistance Identification
Central Hub Zones: Act as strong support/resistance areas
Hub Upper Boundary: Resistance level in consolidation, support after breakout
Hub Lower Boundary: Support level in consolidation, resistance after breakdown
Price tends to react at these levels due to market structure memory
Breakout Trading
Bullish Breakout: Price closes above hub upper boundary
Previous resistance becomes support
Entry on retest of upper boundary
Stop loss below hub zone
Bearish Breakdown: Price closes below hub lower boundary
Previous support becomes resistance
Entry on retest of lower boundary
Stop loss above hub zone
Reversal Detection
Hub Formation After Trend: Signals potential trend exhaustion
Multiple Hub Levels: Create probability zones for reversals
Stroke Count: Excessive strokes within hub suggest weakening momentum
Position Management
Use hub boundaries for stop loss placement
Scale out positions at hub edges
Re-enter on retests of broken hub levels
Interpretation Guide
Strong Trending Market
Long, clear strokes with minimal overlap
Few or no central hubs forming
Strokes consistently in same direction
Wide spacing between extremes
Consolidating Market
Multiple central hubs forming
Short, overlapping strokes
Yellow hub strokes dominate the chart
Narrow price range
Trend Transition
Hub formation after extended trend
Stroke direction changes frequently
Hub boundaries being tested repeatedly
Potential reversal zone
Advanced Usage Techniques
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Higher Timeframe: Identify major hub zones for overall market structure
Lower Timeframe: Find precise entry points within larger structure
Alignment: Trade when lower timeframe strokes align with higher timeframe hub breaks
Hub Quality Assessment
Wide Hubs: Strong consolidation, higher probability support/resistance
Narrow Hubs: Weak consolidation, may break easily
Extended Hubs: More strokes = stronger zone
Isolated Hubs: Single hub = potential pivot point
Stroke Analysis
Stroke Length: Longer strokes = stronger momentum
Stroke Speed: Fewer bars per stroke = explosive moves
Stroke Clustering: Many short strokes = indecision
Best Practices
Parameter Optimization
Adjust lookback period based on timeframe and volatility
Lower periods (3-4): More strokes, more noise, faster signals
Higher periods (7-10): Fewer strokes, cleaner structure, slower signals
Confirmation Strategy
Don't trade on strokes alone
Combine with volume analysis
Use candlestick patterns at hub boundaries
Wait for breakout confirmation
Risk Management
Always place stops outside hub zones
Use hub width to size positions (wider hub = smaller position)
Exit if price re-enters broken hub from wrong direction
Avoid Common Pitfalls
Don't trade within central hubs (range-bound, unpredictable)
Don't ignore higher timeframe hub structures
Don't chase strokes after they've extended far from hub
Don't trust single-stroke hubs (need 3+ strokes for validity)
Performance Considerations
Max Bars Limit: Set to 3600 to balance detail with performance
Safe Distance Calculation: Only draws objects within 2000 bars of current price
Object Cleanup: Automatically removes old drawing objects to prevent memory issues
Efficient Arrays: Uses indexed arrays for fast lookup and processing
Ideal Market Conditions
Best Performance:
Liquid markets with clear structure (major forex pairs, indices, large-cap stocks)

TraderDemircan Auto Fibonacci RetracementDescription:
What This Indicator Does:This indicator automatically identifies significant swing high and swing low points within a customizable lookback period and draws comprehensive Fibonacci retracement and extension levels between them. Unlike the manual Fibonacci tool that requires you to constantly redraw levels as price action evolves, this automated version continuously updates the Fibonacci grid based on the most recent major swing points, ensuring you always have current and relevant support/resistance zones displayed on your chart.Key Features:
Automatic Swing Detection: Continuously scans the specified lookback period to find the most significant high and low points, eliminating manual drawing errors
Comprehensive Level Coverage: Plots 16 Fibonacci levels including 7 retracement levels (0.0 to 1.0) and 9 extension levels (1.115 to 3.618)
Top-Down Methodology: Draws from swing high to swing low (right-to-left), following the traditional Fibonacci retracement convention where 100% is at the top
Dual Labeling System: Shows both exact price values and Fibonacci percentages for easy reference
Complete Customization: Individual toggle controls and color selection for each of the 16 levels
Flexible Display Options: Adjust line thickness (1-5), style (solid/dashed/dotted), and extension direction (left/right/both)
Visual Swing Markers: Red diamond at the swing high (starting point) and green diamond at the swing low (ending point)
Optional Trend Line: Connects the two swing points to visualize the overall price movement direction
How It Works:The indicator employs a sophisticated swing point detection algorithm that operates in two stages:Stage 1 - Find the Swing Low (Support Base):
Scans the entire lookback period to identify the lowest low, which becomes the anchor point (0.0 level in traditional retracement terms, though displayed at the bottom of the grid).Stage 2 - Find the Swing High (Resistance Peak):
After identifying the swing low, searches for the highest high that occurred after that low point, establishing the swing range. This creates a valid price movement range for Fibonacci analysis.Fibonacci Calculation Method:
The indicator uses the top-down approach where:
1.0 Level = Swing High (100% retracement, the top)
0.0 Level = Swing Low (0% retracement, the bottom)
Retracement Levels (0.236 to 0.786) = Potential support zones during pullbacks from the high
Extension Levels (1.115 to 3.618) = Potential target zones below the swing low
Formula: Price = SwingHigh - (SwingHigh - SwingLow) × FibonacciLevelThis ensures that 0.0 is at the bottom and extensions (>1.0) plot below the swing low, following standard Fibonacci retracement convention.Fibonacci Levels Explained:Retracement Levels (0.0 - 1.0):
0.0 (Gray): Swing low - the base support level
0.236 (Red): Shallow retracement, first minor support
0.382 (Orange): Moderate retracement, commonly watched support
0.5 (Purple): Psychological midpoint, significant support/resistance
0.618 (Blue - Golden Ratio): The most important retracement level, high-probability reversal zone
0.786 (Cyan): Deep retracement, last defense before full reversal
1.0 (Gray): Swing high - the initial resistance level
Extension Levels (1.115 - 3.618):
1.115 (Green): First extension, minimal downside target
1.272 (Light Green): Minor extension, common profit target
1.414 (Yellow-Green): Square root of 2, mathematical significance
1.618 (Gold - Golden Extension): Primary downside target, most watched extension level
2.0 (Orange-Red): 200% extension, psychological round number
2.382 (Pink): Secondary extension target
2.618 (Purple): Deep extension, major target zone
3.272 (Deep Purple): Extreme extension level
3.618 (Blue): Maximum extension, rare but powerful target
How to Use:For Retracement Trading (Buying Pullbacks in Uptrends):
Wait for price to make a significant move up from swing low to swing high
When price starts pulling back, watch for reactions at key Fibonacci levels
Most common entry zones: 0.382, 0.5, and especially 0.618 (golden ratio)
Enter long positions when price shows reversal signals (candlestick patterns, volume increase) at these levels
Place stop loss below the next Fibonacci level
Target: Return to swing high or higher extension levels
For Extension Trading (Profit Targets):
After price breaks below the swing low (0.0 level), use extensions as profit targets
First target: 1.272 (conservative)
Primary target: 1.618 (golden extension - most commonly reached)
Extended target: 2.618 (for strong trends)
Extreme target: 3.618 (only in powerful trending moves)
For Counter-Trend Trading (Fading Extremes):
When price reaches deep retracements (0.786 or below), look for exhaustion signals
Watch for divergences between price and momentum indicators at these levels
Enter reversal trades with tight stops below the swing low
Target: 0.5 or 0.382 levels on the bounce
For Trend Continuation:
In strong uptrends, shallow retracements (0.236 to 0.382) often hold
Use these as low-risk entry points to join the existing trend
Failure to hold 0.5 suggests weakening momentum
Breaking below 0.618 often indicates trend reversal, not just retracement
Multi-Timeframe Strategy:
Use daily timeframe Fibonacci for major support/resistance zones
Use 4H or 1H Fibonacci for precise entry timing within those zones
Confluence between multiple timeframe Fibonacci levels creates high-probability zones
Example: Daily 0.618 level aligning with 4H 0.5 level = strong support
Settings Guide:Lookback Period (10-500):
Short (20-50): Captures recent swings, more frequent updates, suited for day trading
Medium (50-150): Balanced approach, good for swing trading (default: 100)
Long (150-500): Identifies major market structure, suited for position trading
Higher values = more stable levels but slower to adapt to new trends
Pivot Sensitivity (1-20):
Controls how many candles are required to confirm a swing point
Low (1-5): More sensitive, identifies minor swings (default: 5)
High (10-20): Less sensitive, only major swings qualify
Use higher sensitivity on lower timeframes to filter noise
Individual Level Toggles:
Enable only the levels you actively trade to reduce chart clutter
Common minimalist setup: Show only 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 1.0, 1.618, 2.618
Comprehensive setup: Enable all levels for maximum information
Visual Customization:
Line Thickness: Thicker lines (3-5) for presentation, thinner (1-2) for trading
Line Style: Solid for primary levels (0.5, 0.618, 1.618), dashed/dotted for secondary
Price Labels: Essential for knowing exact entry/exit prices
Percent Labels: Helpful for quickly identifying which Fibonacci level you're looking at
Extension Direction: Extend right for forward-looking analysis, left for historical context
What Makes This Original:While Fibonacci indicators are common on TradingView, this script's originality comes from:
Intelligent Two-Stage Detection: Unlike simple high/low finders, this uses a sequential approach (find low first, then find the high that occurred after it), ensuring logical price flow representation
Comprehensive Level Set: Includes 16 levels spanning from retracement to extreme extensions, more than most Fibonacci tools
Top-Down Methodology: Properly implements the traditional Fibonacci retracement convention (high to low) rather than the reverse
Automatic Range Validation: Only draws Fibonacci when both swing points are valid and in the correct temporal order
Dual Extension Options: Separate controls for extending lines left (historical context) and right (forward projection)
Smart Label Positioning: Places percentage labels on the left and price labels on the right for clarity
Visual Swing Confirmation: Diamond markers at swing points help users understand why levels are positioned where they are
Important Considerations:
Historical Nature: Fibonacci retracements are based on past price swings; they don't predict future moves, only suggest potential support/resistance
Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Fibonacci levels work partly because many traders watch them, creating actual support/resistance at those levels
Not All Levels Hold: In strong trends, price may slice through multiple Fibonacci levels without pausing
Context Matters: Fibonacci works best when aligned with other support/resistance (previous highs/lows, moving averages, trendlines)
Volume Confirmation: The most reliable Fibonacci reversals occur with volume spikes at key levels
Dynamic Updates: The levels will redraw as new swing highs/lows form, so don't rely solely on static screenshots
Best Practices:
Don't Trade Blindly: Fibonacci levels are zones, not exact prices. Look for confirmation (candlestick patterns, indicators, volume)
Combine with Price Action: Watch for pin bars, engulfing candles, or doji at key Fibonacci levels
Use Stop Losses: Place stops beyond the next Fibonacci level to give trades room but limit risk
Scale In/Out: Consider entering partial positions at 0.5 and adding more at 0.618 rather than all-in at one level
Check Multiple Timeframes: Daily Fibonacci + 4H Fibonacci convergence = high-probability zone
Respect the 0.618: This golden ratio level is historically the most reliable for reversals
Extensions Need Strong Trends: Don't expect extensions to be hit unless there's clear momentum beyond the swing low
Optimal Timeframes:
Scalping (1-5 minutes): Lookback 20-30, watch 0.382, 0.5, 0.618 only
Day Trading (15m-1H): Lookback 50-100, all retracement levels important
Swing Trading (4H-Daily): Lookback 100-200, focus on 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, and extensions
Position Trading (Daily-Weekly): Lookback 200-500, all levels relevant for long-term planning
Common Fibonacci Trading Mistakes to Avoid:
Wrong Swing Selection: Choosing insignificant swings produces meaningless levels
Premature Entry: Entering as soon as price touches a Fibonacci level without confirmation
Ignoring Trend: Fighting the main trend by buying deep retracements in downtrends
Over-Reliance: Using Fibonacci in isolation without confirming with other technical factors
Static Analysis: Not updating your Fibonacci as market structure evolves
Arbitrary Lookback: Using the same lookback period for all assets and timeframes
Integration with Other Tools:Fibonacci + Moving Averages:
When 0.618 level aligns with 50 or 200 EMA, confluence creates stronger support
Price bouncing from both Fibonacci and MA simultaneously = high-probability trade
Fibonacci + RSI/Stochastic:
Oversold indicators at 0.618 or deeper retracements = strong buy signal
Overbought indicators at swing high (1.0) = potential reversal warning
Fibonacci + Volume Profile:
High-volume nodes aligning with Fibonacci levels create robust support/resistance
Low-volume areas near Fibonacci levels may see rapid price movement through them
Fibonacci + Trendlines:
Fibonacci retracement level + ascending trendline = double support
Breaking both simultaneously confirms trend change
Technical Notes:
Uses ta.lowest() and ta.highest() for efficient swing detection across the lookback period
Implements dynamic line and label arrays for clean redraws without memory leaks
All calculations update in real-time as new bars form
Extension options allow customization without modifying core code
Format.mintick ensures price labels match the symbol's minimum price increment
Tooltip on swing markers shows exact price values for precision
Zone Tap Counter: Support & Resistance StrengthWhat is this indicator?
This script is designed to help traders objectively monitor the strength and significance of price zones by counting and visualizing how many times price “taps” confirmed support and resistance levels. The indicator leverages swing high/low detection to automatically plot relevant zones and uses price tap frequency as an objective strength metric.
How does it work?
Zone Identification:
The script uses the Pine Script functions ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow to detect confirmed swing highs and lows on your chart. Each swing high establishes a resistance zone, and each swing low establishes a support zone.
Only confirmed pivots are used, ensuring all signals are strictly non-repainting.
Tap Counting Logic:
For every candle, the indicator checks whether price touches (comes within a small, user-set tolerance) of any currently tracked support or resistance zone. To avoid counting repeated taps in the same move, the script ensures only unique bar taps are registered.
Each time price taps a zone, a counter for that zone is incremented.
Both the tolerance for taps (percentage-based), and the depth/history of zones tracked are fully adjustable in settings.
Visual Feedback:
Zones with more taps are drawn darker (lower transparency), making it easy to spot the strongest/hardest-tested levels on the chart.
A label on each zone displays the current tap count (e.g., "3x"), giving direct feedback about which support/resistance are most significant in the current view.
Only recent zones (user-configurable) are shown to keep charts clear and useful.
How to use it:
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
Set the swing length and tap tolerance in settings to match your market or timeframe (short swing length for scalping, longer swings for bigger structure).
Watch for zones with high tap counts and darker lines: These zones represent areas where price has repeatedly reacted, suggesting they may be important for your trading decisions.
You can adjust the minimum number of taps needed for a zone to be highlighted and the number of zones to display for your preferred visual clarity.
Combine this tool with other analysis for confirmation—tap counts should not be seen as trading signals, but as supporting information.
Originality & Calculation Details:
This script does NOT simply merge or overlay existing indicators. The calculation method is original: it uses swing-based support/resistance and applies unique tap-count logic, designed for objective zone strength visualization.
No repainting logic is present.
All code and visualization methods are documented and transparent.

This indicator is for educational and analytical purposes only. It does not predict future price movement, guarantee profits, or recommend specific trades. Always use your own analysis and risk management. See TradingView’s House Rules for more details.

Be patient: Wait for Score 5+ setups
Be decisive: When signal appears, act immediately
Be disciplined: Follow your stop loss always
Be flexible: Exit quickly if dashboard reverses
Optimization
Backtest on your specific instrument
Adjust RSI/Stoch levels for your market
Fine-tune volume thresholds
Keep a trade journal to track which setups work best
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
Use 5-min dashboard as "trend filter"
Take 1-min trades only in direction of 5-min SCALP signal
Increases win rate by ~10-15%
Troubleshooting
Q: Dashboard shows WAIT most of the time
Normal - scalping is about patience. Quality > Quantity
3-8 good setups per day is excellent
Q: Too many false signals
Increase minimum Score requirement to 5 or 6
Only trade with volume surge (yellow backgrounds)
Add large order detection confirmation
Q: Signals too slow
You may be on too high a timeframe
Try 1-minute chart for faster signals
Ensure real-time data feed is active
Q: Support/Resistance not updating
Normal - updates every 3 bars
If completely stuck, remove and re-add indicator
Summary
This scalping system works best when:
✅ Multiple indicators align (Score 5+)
✅ Volume and tape speed confirm the move
✅ Order flow (diamonds) confirms direction
✅ Price is at key levels (support/resistance)
✅ You manage risk strictly
✅ You exit before market close
The golden rule: When SCALP says WAIT, you WAIT. Discipline beats frequency.

Volume Cluster Support and Resistance Levels [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
This indicator identifies statistically significant support and resistance levels through volume cluster analysis, isolating price zones characterized by elevated trading activity and institutional participation. By quantifying areas where volume concentration exceeded historical norms, it reveals price levels with demonstrated supply-demand imbalances that exhibit persistent influence on subsequent price action. The methodology is asset-agnostic and timeframe-independent, applicable across equities, cryptocurrencies, forex, and commodities from intraday to weekly intervals.
🟢 Key Features
1. Support and Resistance Levels
The indicator scans historical price data to identify bars where volume exceeds a user-defined threshold multiplier relative to the rolling average. For each qualifying bar, a representative price is calculated using the average of high, low, and close. Proximate price levels within a specified percentage range are then aggregated into discrete clusters using volume-weighted averaging, eliminating redundant signals. Clusters are ranked by cumulative volume to determine statistical significance. Finally, the indicator plots horizontal levels at each cluster price: support levels (green) below current price indicate zones where historical buying pressure exceeded selling pressure, while resistance levels (red) above current price mark zones where sellers historically dominated. These levels represent areas of established liquidity and price discovery, where institutional order flow previously concentrated.
The Touch Count (T) metric quantifies historical price interaction frequency, while Total Volume (TV) measures aggregate trading activity at each level, providing objective criteria for assessing level strength and trade execution decisions.
2. Volume Histogram
A histogram appears below the price chart, displaying relative volume for each bar within the lookback period, with bar height scaled to the maximum volume observed. Green bars represent up-periods (close > open) indicating buying pressure, while red bars show down-periods (close < open) indicating selling pressure. This visualization helps you confirm the validity of support/resistance levels by seeing where volume actually spiked, identify accumulation/distribution patterns, and validate breakouts by checking if they occur on above-average volume.
3. Built-in Alerts
Automated alerts trigger when price crosses below support levels or breaks above resistance levels, allowing you to monitor multiple assets without constant chart-watching.
4. Customizable Color Schemes
The indicator provides four preset color configurations (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Custom) optimized for visual clarity across different charting environments. Each scheme maintains consistent color mapping for support and resistance zones across both level lines and volume histogram components. The Custom configuration permits full color specification to accommodate individual charting setups, ensuring optimal visual contrast for extended analysis sessions.
Classic:
Aqua:
Cosmic:
Custom:
🟢 Pro Tips
→ Trade entry optimization: Execute long positions at support levels with high touch counts or upon confirmed resistance breakouts accompanied by above-average volume
→ Risk parameter definition: Position stop-loss orders near identified support/resistance zones with statistical significance to minimize premature exits
→ Breakout validation: Require volume confirmation exceeding historical average when price penetrates resistance to filter false breakouts
→ Level strength assessment: Prioritize levels with higher touch counts and total volume metrics for enhanced probability trade setups
→ Multi-timeframe confluence: Synthesize support/resistance levels across multiple timeframes to identify high-conviction zones where daily support aligns with 4-hour resistance structures
PHD-Points
The PHD Pivot Points indicator is a professional-grade support and resistance tool that calculates key price levels based on previous day's price action and current intraday data. It provides traders with multiple reference points for identifying potential reversal zones, breakout levels, and strategic entry/exit positions.
Key Components
1. Previous Day Pivot Point (P)
White Line - The main pivot level calculated from previous day's High, Low, and Close
Formula: P = (Previous High + Previous Low + Previous Close) / 3
Serves as the central reference point for the trading day
Often acts as a psychological support/resistance level
2. Previous Day Support Levels (D1, D2, D3)
Brown Lines - Three support levels below the previous day's pivot
D1 (Support 1): First support level, closest to pivot
D2 (Support 2): Second support level, medium-strength
D3 (Support 3): Third support level, strongest support
Calculated using previous day's high and low ranges
3. Previous Day Resistance Levels (H1, H2, H3)
Yellow-Brown Lines - Three resistance levels above the previous day's pivot
H1 (Resistance 1): First resistance level, closest to pivot
H2 (Resistance 2): Second resistance level, medium-strength
H3 (Resistance 3): Third resistance level, strongest resistance
Calculated using previous day's high and low ranges
4. Today's Pivot Point (PT)
Dark Red Line - Dynamic pivot point that updates throughout the current trading session
Formula: PT = (Current High + Current Low + Current Close) / 3
Provides real-time trend reference for intraday trading
Helps identify intraday momentum and trend strength
5. Today's Dynamic Levels (DD1-DD3, HH1-HH3)
Calculated but not plotted by default
These values represent current session's support and resistance levels
Can be used for advanced intraday analysis
Trading Applications
Support and Resistance Trading
Price tends to bounce at D1, D2, D3 levels (potential buy zones)
Price tends to stall or reverse at H1, H2, H3 levels (potential sell zones)
Breaks above/below these levels signal trend strength
Trend Identification
Price above P = Bullish bias
Price below P = Bearish bias
PT line angle shows intraday momentum direction
Price Trendlines + Break Signals█ OVERVIEW
The "Price Trendlines + Break Signals" indicator is a technical analysis tool that automatically draws trendlines based on price pivot points and detects breakout signals. Designed for traders seeking precise market signals, the indicator identifies key pivot points, draws trendlines (resistance and support), and generates breakout signals with background highlighting. It offers flexible settings and alerts for breakout signals.
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator was created to provide traders with an alternative source of signals based on trendlines. Breakouts and bounces from trendlines can signal a trend change or the end of a correction. Combining these signals with other technical analysis tools can form the basis for building diverse trading strategies.
█ FEATURES
-Pivot Point Calculation: The indicator identifies pivot points (pivot high and pivot low) based on the closing price, with configurable left and right bars for pivot detection. Setting a higher number of bars results in fewer but more significant trendlines, with a delay corresponding to the specified length. Lower values generate more trendlines, but they are less significant. Crossovers are signaled only after the trendline is drawn, so sometimes no signals appear on crossed trendlines—this indicates the price passed through the line before it was detected.
- Trendlines: Draws trendlines connecting price pivot points—upper lines for downtrends (resistance) and lower lines for uptrends (support). Lines can be extended by a specified number of bars (default: 50).
- Tolerance Margin: Trendlines are widened by a tolerance margin, calculated using the average candle body size over a specified period and its multiplier. Reducing the multiplier to zero leaves only the trendline without a margin. Breaking this zone is a condition for generating signals.
- Breakout Signals: Generates signals when the price breaks through a trendline (bullish for upper lines, bearish for lower lines), with background highlighting for signal confirmation.
Alerts: Built-in alerts for:
- Upper trendline breakout (bullish signal).
- Lower trendline breakout (bearish signal).
Customization: Allows adjustment of pivot parameters, trendline extension length, tolerance margin, line colors, fills, and signal background transparency.
█ HOW TO USE
Adding the Indicator: Add the indicator to your TradingView chart via the Pine Editor or Indicators menu.
Configuring Settings:
- Left Bars for Pivot: Number of bars back for detecting pivots (default: 10).
- Right Bars for Pivot: Number of bars forward to confirm pivots (default: 10).
- Extend past 2nd pivot: Number of bars to extend the trendline after the second pivot (default: 50, 0 = no extension).
- Average Body Periods: Period for calculating the average candle body size used for the tolerance margin (default: 100).
- Tolerance Multiplier: Multiplier for the tolerance margin based on the average candle body size (default: 1.0).
Colors and Style:
- Upper trendline (resistance): default red.
- Lower trendline (support): default green.
- Line fills: colors with transparency (default 70).
- Signal background: green for bullish signals, red for bearish signals (default transparency 85).
Interpreting Signals:
- Trendlines: Upper lines (red) indicate a downtrend, lower lines (green) indicate an uptrend. Signals appear after a trendline breakout with the tolerance margin. Each trendline generates only one breakout signal, though it may still act as resistance or support for the price.
- Breakout Signals: Green background indicates an upper trendline breakout (bullish), red background indicates a lower trendline breakout (bearish).
- Alerts: Set up alerts in TradingView for trendline breakout signals.
Combining with Other Tools: Use with support/resistance levels, Fibonacci levels, RSI, pivot points, or FVG (Fair Value Gap) for signal confirmation.
█ APPLICATIONS
The "Price Trendlines + Break Signals" indicator is designed to identify trends and potential reversal points, supporting both trend-following and contrarian strategies:
- Trend Confirmation: Trendlines indicate the direction of the price trend, and bounces from them may signal the end of a correction.
- Reversal Strategies: Breakout signals can be used as cues to enter positions in anticipation of a trend change or correction.
- Noise Filtering: The tolerance margin reduces false signals, enhancing reliability.
█ NOTES
- Trendline crossovers are signaled only after the trendline is drawn, so sometimes no signals appear on crossed trendlines—this indicates the price passed through the line before it was detected.
- Each trendline generates only one breakout signal, though it may still act as a level of support or resistance for the price.
- Setting a higher number of bars for pivots results in fewer but more significant trendlines, with a delay corresponding to the specified length. Lower values generate more trendlines, but they are less significant.
- Adjust settings (e.g., number of bars for pivots, tolerance multiplier) to suit your trading style and timeframe.
- Combine with other technical analysis tools, such as RSI, pivot points, or FVG, to enhance signal accuracy.
- For high-volatility markets, consider increasing the tolerance margin to reduce false signals.
Bull Market Support Band (20W SMA + 21W EMA)🟩 Bull Market Support Band (20W SMA + 21W EMA)
OVERVIEW
The Bull Market Support Band is a long-term trend indicator that combines the 20-week SMA and 21-week EMA.
When price is above the band → bullish trend.
When below → bearish trend.
When within → neutral or transition phase.
This v6 version adds full customization, dynamic coloring, event labels, candle coloring, and a configurable on-chart legend table with trend arrows.
HOW IT WORKS
Calculates the 20W SMA and 21W EMA from a user-selectable higher timeframe (weekly by default).
Plots both averages and shades the area between them to form the support band.
The fill and line colors change automatically based on the market phase:
🟩 Green = Bullish (price above)
🟥 Red = Bearish (price below)
⬜ Gray = Neutral (price within).
Labels appear only when the trend state changes.
Alerts trigger when price crosses the band or either moving average.
Optional candle coloring applies the same bull/bear/neutral logic to price bars.
A convenience legend table displays current 20W SMA and 21W EMA values, along with slope arrows (^, v, =).
INCLUDED FEATURES
Configurable calculation timeframe.
Automatic band fill and line coloring.
Optional candle coloring overlay.
Compact or detailed regime-change labels.
ATR-based label offset and spacing control.
Customizable legend table with background color.
Horizontal or vertical legend layout.
Custom arrow characters (ASCII or Unicode).
Built-in alerts for band and MA crosses.
Optimized for higher-timeframe accuracy using request.security().
USAGE TIPS
Keep the default weekly setting for macro trend context.
On lower chart timeframes, use the band as higher-level support/resistance.
Combine with momentum or volume indicators (RSI, MACD, OBV) for confirmation.
Adjust ATR multiplier to move labels further from price candles.
Increase “Min bars between labels” to reduce visual clutter.
Disable auto-coloring if you prefer a static color theme.
Toggle compact legend or switch between horizontal/vertical layouts for best fit.
INTERPRETATION GUIDE
🟩 Bullish: Price above the band → trend continuation likely.
⬜ Neutral: Price within the band → consolidation or potential reversal zone.
🟥 Bearish: Price below the band → downtrend continuation or distribution.
Sustained closes above or below the band typically align with major market cycle shifts.
NOTES
Uses request.security() for higher-timeframe precision — accurate even on smaller charts.
The legend table is screen-anchored and remains fixed as you pan or zoom.
Plots and labels are price-anchored and move with candles.
Lightweight and efficient for all markets and intervals.
CREDITS
Original concept: The Bull Market Support Band (popularized in crypto analysis).
Enhanced Pine Script v6 version: Ricco .

HM2 - Murrey Math Levels# Murrey Math Indicator - Comprehensive Description
## **What is Murrey Math?**
Murrey Math is a trading system developed by T.H. Murrey that divides price action into 8 equal segments (octaves) based on Gann and geometry principles. It automatically identifies key support and resistance levels where price is likely to react, making it a powerful tool for determining entry/exit points and price targets.
## **How It Works**
The indicator:
1. **Analyzes price history** over a lookback period (default 64-200 bars)
2. **Finds the highest high and lowest low** in that period
3. **Calculates a "fractal"** - a geometric scaling factor based on price magnitude
4. **Creates 8 equal divisions** between key levels, plus 4 overshoot levels (total 13 levels)
5. **Labels each level** from -2/8 to +2/8 with their trading significance
## **The 13 Murrey Math Levels**
### **Core Levels (0/8 to 8/8):**
- ** - Ultimate Support** (Blue)

- Range-bound trading strategies work best
3. **Premium Trading Area** (5/8 to 8/8)
- Price is in a bullish zone
- Look for SELL opportunities near resistance levels
## **Trading Strategies**
### **Buy Signals:**
- Price bounces off 0/8 (ultimate support)
- Price pulls back to 3/8 in an uptrend
- Price breaks above 4/8 after consolidation
### **Sell Signals:**
- Price rejects at 8/8 (ultimate resistance)
- Price rallies to 5/8 in a downtrend
- Price breaks below 4/8 after consolidation
### **Range Trading:**
- Buy near 3/8, sell near 5/8 when price is ranging
- Use 4/8 as the pivot to determine trend direction
## **Key Advantages**
✅ **Objective levels** - No subjective placement
✅ **Self-adjusting** - Automatically recalculates based on recent price action
✅ **Clear trading zones** - Easy to identify support/resistance
✅ **Works on all timeframes** - From 1-minute to monthly charts
✅ **Combines with other indicators** - Works well with RSI, MACD, etc.
## **Important Notes**
- The indicator is **dynamic** - levels update as new highs/lows form
- **4/8 is the most critical level** - price above = bullish, below = bearish
- When price reaches overshoot levels (±1/8, ±2/8), expect strong reversals
- Works best in trending markets; can give false signals in choppy conditions
This geometric approach to support/resistance has been used by traders for decades and remains popular due to its objective, mathematical nature!

Dynamic EMA Stack Support & ResistanceEvery trader needs reliable support and resistance — but static zones and lagging indicators won't cut it in fast-moving markets. This script combines a Fibonacci-based 5-EMA stacking system and left/right pivots that create dynamic support & resistance logic to uncover real-time structural shifts & momentum zones that actually adapt to price action. This isn’t just a mashup — it’s a complete built-from-the-ground-up support & resistance engine designed for scalpers, intraday traders, and trend followers alike.
🧠 🧠 🧠What It Does🧠 🧠 🧠
This script uses two powerful engines working in sync:
1️⃣ EMA Stack (5-EMA Framework)
Built on Fibonacci-based lengths: 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, (configurable) this stack identifies:
🔹 Bullish Stack: EMAs aligned from fastest to slowest (uptrend confirmation)
🔹 Bearish Stack: EMAs aligned inversely (downtrend confirmation)
🟡 Narrowing Zones: When EMAs compress within ATR thresholds → possible breakout or reversal zone
🎯 Labels identify key transitions like:
✅"Begin Bear Trend?"
✅"Uptrend SPRT"
✅"RES?" (resistance test)
2️⃣ Pivot-Based Projection Engine
Using classic Left/Right Bar pivot logic, the script:
📌 Detects early-stage swing highs/lows before full confirmation
📈 Projects horizontal S/R lines that adapt to market structure
🔁 Keeps lines active until a new pivot replaces them
🧩 Syncs beautifully with EMA stack for confluence zones
🎯🎯🎯Key Features for Traders🎯🎯🎯
✅ Trend Detection
→ EMA order reveals real-time bias (bullish, bearish, compression)
✅ Dynamic S/R Zones
→ Historical support/resistance levels auto-draw and extend
✅ Smart Labeling
→ “SPRT”, “RES”, and “Trend?” labels for live context + testing logic
✅ Custom Candle Coloring
→ Choose from Bar Color or Full Candle Overlay modes
✅ Scalper & Swing Compatible
→ Use fast confirmations for scalping or stack consistency for longer trends
⚙️⚙️⚙️How to Use⚙️⚙️⚙️
✅Use Top/Bottom (trend state) Line Colors to quickly read trend conditions.
✅Use Pivot-based support/resistance projections to anticipate where price might pause or reverse.
✅Watch for yellow/blue zones to prepare for volatility shifts/reversals.
✅Combine with volume or momentum indicators for added confirmation.
📐📐📐Customization Options📐📐📐
✅EMA lengths (5, 8, 13, 21, 34) — fully configurable - try 21,34,55, 89, 144 for longer term trend states
✅Left/Right bar pivot settings (default: 21/5)
✅Label size, visibility, and color themes
✅Toggle line and label visibility for clean layouts
✅“Max Bars Back” to control how deep history is scanned safely
🛠🛠🛠Built-In Safeguards🛠🛠🛠
✅ATR-based filters to stabilize compression logic
✅Guarded lookback (max_bars_back) to avoid runtime errors
✅Works on any asset, any timeframe
🏁🏁🏁Final Word🏁🏁🏁
This script is not just a visual tool, it’s a complete trend and structure framework. Whether you're looking for clean trend alignment, dynamic support/resistance, or early warning labels, this system is tuned to help you react with confidence — not hindsight.
Rembember, no single indicator should be used in isolation. For best results, combine it with price action analysis, higher-timeframe context, and complementary tools like trendlines, moving averages etc Use it as part of a well-rounded trading approach to confirm setups — not to define them alone.
💡💡💡Turn logic into clarity. Structure into trades. And uncertainty into confidence.💡💡💡

Anyone who wants to save screen time, reduce analysis paralysis, and have more confidence in every trade they take.
1. No Indicator Clutter
Intent:
Many traders get confused by charts filled with too many indicators and signals. This often leads to hesitation, missed trades, or taking random, risky trades.
In this Indicator:
You get a clean and clutter-free chart. Only the most important buy/sell/wait signals and relevant support/resistance/liquidity levels are shown. These update automatically, removing the “overload” and keeping your focus sharp, so your decision-making is faster and stress-free.
2. Exact Entry Guide
Intent:
Traders often struggle with entry timing, leading to FOMO (fear of missing out) or getting trapped in sudden market reversals.
In this Indicator:
The system uses powerful adaptive logic to filter out weak signals and only highlight the strongest market moves. This not only prevents you from entering late or on noise, but also helps avoid losses from false breakouts or whipsaws. You get actionable suggestions—when to enter, when to hold back—so your entries are high-conviction and disciplined.
3. HTF+LTF Logic: Multitimeframe Sync Analysis
Intent:
Most losing trades happen when you act only on the short-term chart, ignoring the bigger market trend.
In this Indicator:
Signals are based on both the current chart timeframe (LTF) and a higher (HTF, like hourly/daily) timeframe. The indicator synchronizes trend direction, momentum, and structure across both levels, quickly adapting to show you when both are aligned. This filtering results in “only trade with the bigger trend”—dramatically increasing your win rate and market confidence.
4. Auto Support/Resistance & Liquidity Zones
Intent:
Drawing support/resistance and liquidity zones manually is time-consuming and error-prone, especially for beginners.
In this Indicator:
The system automatically identifies and plots the most crucial support/resistance levels and liquidity zones on your chart. This is based on adaptive, real-time price and volume analysis. These zones highlight where major institutional activity, trap setups, or real breakouts/reversals are most likely, removing guesswork and giving you a clear reference for entries, exits, and stop placements.
5. Clear Action/Direction
Intent:
Traders need certainty—what does the market want right now? Most indicators are vague.
In this Indicator:
Your dashboard always displays in plain words (like “BUY”, “SELL”, or “WAIT”) what action makes sense in the current market phase. Whether it’s a bull trap, volume spike, wick reversal, or exhaustion—it’s interpreted and explained clearly. No more confusion—just direct, real-time advice.
6. For Everyone (Beginner to Pro)
Intent:
Most advanced indicators are overwhelming for new traders; simple ones lack depth for professionals.
In this Indicator:
It is simple enough for a beginner—just add it to the chart and instantly see what action to consider. At the same time, it includes advanced adaptive analysis, multi-timeframe logic, and customizable settings so professional traders can fine-tune it for their strategies.
7. Ideal Usage and User Benefits

NOTES
ALMA Algorithm: The indicator uses the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) algorithm, which is known for its excellent smoothing capabilities and reduced lag compared to traditional moving averages
Weighted Price Calculations: The bear market zone uses (2low + close) / 3, while the bull market zone uses (high + 2close) / 3, providing more weight to recent price action
Dynamic Zones: The support and resistance zones are dynamic and adapt to changing market conditions, making them more responsive than static levels
Color Psychology: The color scheme follows traditional trading psychology - green for bullish, red for bearish, and white for neutral
Signal Timing: The signals are generated on the close of each bar, ensuring they are based on complete price action
Label Positioning: Buy signals appear below the bar (red "B" label), while sell signals appear above the bar (green "S" label)
Multiple Timeframes: The indicator can be applied to multiple timeframes simultaneously for comprehensive analysis
Risk Management: Always use proper risk management techniques when trading based on indicator signals
Market Context: Consider the overall market context and trend direction when interpreting signals
Confirmation: Look for confirmation from other indicators or price action patterns before entering trades
Practice: Test the indicator on historical data before using it in live trading

Vagas-dctang(8~13)Overview
The Vegas Tunnel EMA 8-13 is a refined technical analysis indicator that utilizes two key exponential moving averages (8-period and 13-period EMAs) to create a dynamic tunnel system for identifying trend direction and potential support/resistance zones. This indicator is specifically designed to help traders visualize price action within the context of short-term trend dynamics.
Key Features
✅ Dual EMA Tunnel System: Creates a visual tunnel between 8 EMA (fast) and 13 EMA (slow) to identify trend channels ✅ Dynamic Support Detection: The tunnel acts as dynamic support during uptrends and resistance during downtrends ✅ Trend Confirmation: Price position relative to the tunnel helps confirm the current market trend ✅ Entry/Exit Signals: Tunnel crossovers and price interactions provide clear trading signals ✅ Multi-Timeframe Compatible: Works effectively across various timeframes from scalping to swing trading
How It Works
The Vegas Tunnel EMA 8-13 operates on the principle that shorter-period EMAs react more quickly to price changes, creating a responsive tunnel system:
Bullish Tunnel: When 8 EMA > 13 EMA, the tunnel indicates an upward trend with potential support zones
Bearish Tunnel: When 8 EMA < 13 EMA, the tunnel indicates a downward trend with potential resistance zones
Tunnel Width: The distance between EMAs indicates trend strength and volatility
Price Interaction: Bounces off the tunnel boundaries suggest trend continuation, while breaks may signal reversals
Trading Applications
Trend Following: Use tunnel direction to align trades with the prevailing trend
Support/Resistance Trading: Enter long positions when price bounces off tunnel support, short when rejected at resistance
Breakout Strategy: Trade tunnel breaks as potential trend continuation or reversal signals
Risk Management: Use tunnel boundaries as dynamic stop-loss levels
Advantages Over Traditional Moving Averages
Reduced Noise: The tunnel system filters out minor price fluctuations
Visual Clarity: Easy identification of trend channels and key levels
Faster Response: 8-13 period combination provides quicker signals than longer-term systems
Versatile Application: Suitable for various trading styles and market conditions
Best Practices
Combine with volume analysis for stronger signal confirmation
Consider higher timeframe tunnel direction for context
Use proper risk management with position sizing
Backtest on your preferred instruments and timeframes
This indicator is ideal for traders seeking a clean, effective tool for trend analysis and dynamic support/resistance identification in fast-moving markets.

Performs best in liquid markets with clear institutional participation
May produce false signals during low-volume or holiday trading periods
Requires sufficient price history for accurate confidence calculations
Confidence readings can fluctuate rapidly during high-impact news events
Manual fallback zones may not reflect actual institutional activity
💡 What Makes This Unique
Automated Detection: First Pine Script indicator to automatically identify thin liquidity zones using sophisticated volume analysis
Dual-Sided Analysis: Simultaneously tracks institutional confidence for both support and resistance levels
Mathematical Precision: Uses sigmoid functions for enhanced accuracy in confidence percentage calculations
Real-Time Processing: Continuously evaluates institutional defense patterns as market conditions change
Visual Innovation: Advanced smoothing options and gradient visualization for superior chart clarity
🔬 How It Works
1. Zone Identification Process:
Scans for high-volume bars that exceed the volume threshold multiplier
Filters bars by maximum zone height percentage to identify thin liquidity conditions
Stores qualified zones with proximity threshold filtering for relevance
2. Confidence Calculation Process:
Monitors price interaction with identified zones during observation windows
Measures volume ratios and adverse excursions during zone tests
Applies sigmoid function processing to normalize raw data into confidence percentiles
3. Real-Time Analysis Process:
Continuously updates confidence readings as new market data becomes available
Tracks institutional defense success rates and zone validation patterns
Provides visual and numerical feedback through the oscillator display
💡 Note:
The ICO works best when combined with traditional technical analysis and proper risk management. Higher confidence readings indicate stronger institutional backing but should be confirmed with price action and volume analysis. Consider using multiple timeframes for comprehensive market structure understanding.
Volumetric Support and Resistance [BackQuant]Volumetric Support and Resistance
What this is
This Overlay locates price levels where both structure and participation have been meaningful. It combines classical swing points with a volume filter, then manages those levels on the chart as price evolves. Each level carries:
• A reference price (support or resistance)
• An estimate of the volume that traded around that price
• A touch counter that updates when price retests it
• A visual box whose thickness is scaled by volatility
The result is a concise map of candidate support and resistance that is informed by both price location and how much trading occurred there.
How levels are built
Find structural pivots uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow with a user set sensitivity. Larger sensitivity looks for broader swings. Smaller sensitivity captures tighter turns.
Require meaningful volume computes an average volume over a lookback period and forms a volume ratio for the current bar. A pivot only becomes a level when the ratio is at least the volume significance multiplier.
Avoid clustering checks a minimum level distance (as a percent of price). If a candidate is too close to an existing level, it is skipped to keep the map readable.
Attach a volume strength to the level estimates volume strength by averaging the volume of recent bars whose high to low range spans that price. Levels with unusually high strength are flagged as high volume.
Store and draw levels are kept in an array with fields for price, type, volume, touches, creation bar, and a box handle. On the last bar, each level is drawn as a horizontal box centered at the price with a vertical thickness scaled by ATR. Borders are thicker when the level is marked high volume. Boxes can extend into the future.
How levels evolve over time
• Aging and pruning : levels are removed if they are too old relative to the lookback or if you exceed the maximum active levels.
• Break detection : a level can be removed when price closes through it by more than a break threshold set as a fraction of ATR. Toggle with Remove Broken Levels.
• Touches : when price approaches within the break threshold, the level’s touch counter increments.
Visual encoding
• Boxes : support boxes are green, resistance boxes are red. Box height uses an ATR based thickness so tolerance scales with volatility. Transparency is fixed in this version. Borders are thicker on high volume levels.
• Volume annotation : show the estimated volume inside the box or as a label at the right. If a level has more than one touch, a suffix like “(2x)” is appended.
• Extension : boxes can extend a fixed number of bars into the future and can be set to extend right.
• High volume bar tint : bars with volume above average × multiplier are tinted green if up and red if down.
Inputs at a glance
Core Settings
• Level Detection Sensitivity — pivot window for swing detection
• Volume Significance Multiplier — minimum volume ratio to accept a pivot
• Lookback Period — window for average volume and maintenance rules
Level Management
• Maximum Active Levels — cap on concurrently drawn levels
• Minimum Level Distance (%) — required spacing between level prices
Visual Settings
• Remove Broken Levels — drop a level once price closes decisively through it
• Show Volume Information on Levels — annotate volume and touches
• Extend Levels to Right — carry boxes forward
Enhanced Visual Settings
• Show Volume Text Inside Box — text placement option
• Volume Based Transparency and Volume Based Border Thickness — helper logic provided; current draw block fixes transparency and increases border width on high volume levels
Colors
• Separate colors for support, resistance, and their high volume variants
How it can be used
• Trade planning : use the most recent support and resistance as reference zones for entries, profit taking, or stop placement. ATR scaled thickness provides a practical buffer.
• Context for patterns : combine with breakouts, pullbacks, or candle patterns. A breakout through a high volume resistance carries more informational weight than one through a thin level.
• Prioritization : when multiple levels are nearby, prefer high volume or higher touch counts.
• Regime adaptation : widen sensitivity and increase minimum distance in fast regimes to avoid clutter. Tighten them in calm regimes to capture more granularity.
Why volume support and resistance is used in trading
Support and resistance relate to willingness to transact at certain prices. Volume measures participation. When many contracts change hands near a price:
• More market players hold inventory there, often creating responsive behavior on retests
• Order flow can concentrate again to defend or to exit
• Breaks can be cleaner as trapped inventory rebalances
Conditioning level detection on above average activity focuses attention on prices that mattered to more participants.
Alerts
• New Support Level Created
• New Resistance Level Created
• Level Touch Alert
• Level Break Alert
Strengths
• Dual filter of structure and participation, reducing trivial swing points
• Self cleaning map that retires old or invalid levels
• Volatility aware presentation using ATR based thickness
• Touch counting for persistence assessment
• Tunable inputs for instrument and timeframe
Limitations and caveats
• Volume strength is an approximation based on bars spanning the price, not true per price volume
• Pivots confirm after the sensitivity window completes, so new levels appear with a delay
• Narrow ranges can still cluster levels unless minimum distance is increased
• Large gaps may jump past levels and immediately trigger break conditions
Practical tuning guide
• If the chart is crowded: increase sensitivity, increase minimum level distance, or reduce maximum active levels
• If useful levels are missed: reduce volume multiplier or sensitivity
• If you want stricter break removal: increase the ATR based break threshold in code
• For instruments with session patterns: tailor the lookback period to a representative window
Interpreting touches and breaks
• First touch after creation is a validation test
• Multiple shallow touches suggest absorption; a later break may then travel farther
• Breaks on high current volume merit extra attention
Multi timeframe usage
Levels are computed on the active chart timeframe. A common workflow is to keep a higher timeframe instance for structure and a lower timeframe instance for execution. Align trades with higher timeframe levels where possible.
Final Thoughts
This indicator builds a lightweight, self updating map of support and resistance grounded in swings and participation. It is not a full market profile, but it captures much of the practical benefit with modest complexity. Treat levels as context and decision zones, not guarantees. Combine with your entry logic and risk controls.
PDH/PDL (prev RTH) + Current ETH High/LowDescription:
This indicator automatically plots the key levels of PDH/PDL (Previous Day High/Low from regular trading hours – RTH) and ETH High/Low (Extended Hours: pre-market + after-hours) in real time.
• PDH/PDL: calculated at the close of RTH (09:30–16:00 NYSE) and anchored until the next day.
• ETH High/Low: updated live during extended hours (04:00–09:29 and 16:00–20:00 NYSE) and “frozen” at the RTH open for reference during the regular session.
• Customization options: colors, line styles (solid/dashed/dotted), thickness, labels, and the ability to extend lines to the right.
• Levels can also be displayed directly on the price scale.
This script is designed for traders who want a quick visualization of the most relevant levels from the previous day and extended hours, making it easier to identify supports, resistances, and potential reaction zones in price action.

Smarter Money Concepts - Wyckoff Springs & Upthrusts [PhenLabs]📊Smarter Money Concepts - Wyckoff Springs & Upthrusts
Version: PineScript™v6
📌Description
Discover institutional manipulation in real-time with this advanced Wyckoff indicator that detects Springs (accumulation phases) and Upthrusts (distribution phases). It identifies when price tests support or resistance on high volume, followed by a strong recovery, signaling potential reversals where smart money accumulates or distributes positions. This tool solves the common problem of missing these subtle phase transitions, helping traders anticipate trend changes and avoid traps in volatile markets.
By combining volume spike detection, ATR-normalized recovery strength, and a sigmoid probability model, it filters out weak signals and highlights only high-confidence setups. Whether you’re swing trading or day trading, this indicator provides clear visual cues to align with institutional flows, improving entry timing and risk management.
🚀Points of Innovation
Sigmoid-based probability threshold for signal filtering, ensuring only statistically significant Wyckoff patterns trigger alerts
ATR-normalized recovery measurement that adapts to market volatility, unlike static recovery checks in traditional indicators
Customizable volume spike multiplier to distinguish institutional volume from retail noise
Integrated dashboard legend with position and size options for personalized chart visualization
Hidden probability plots for advanced users to analyze underlying math without chart clutter
🔧Core Components
Support/Resistance Calculator: Scans a user-defined lookback period to establish dynamic levels for Spring and Upthrust detection
Volume Spike Detector: Compares current volume to a 10-period SMA, multiplied by a configurable factor to identify significant surges
Recovery Strength Analyzer: Uses ATR to measure price recovery after breaks, normalizing for different market conditions
Probability Model: Applies sigmoid function to combine volume and recovery data, generating a confidence score for each potential signal
🔥Key Features
Spring Detection: Spots accumulation when price dips below support but recovers strongly, helping traders enter longs at potential bottoms
Upthrust Detection: Identifies distribution when price spikes above resistance but falls back, alerting to possible short opportunities at tops
Customizable Inputs: Adjust lookback, volume multiplier, ATR period, and probability threshold to match your trading style and market
Visual Signals: Clear + (green) and - (red) labels on charts for instant recognition of accumulation and distribution phases
Alert System: Triggers notifications for signals and probability thresholds, keeping you informed without constant monitoring
🎨Visualization
Spring Signal: Green upward label (+) below the bar, indicating strong recovery after support break for accumulation
Upthrust Signal: Red downward label (-) above the bar, showing failed breakout above resistance for distribution
Dashboard Legend: Customizable table explaining signals, positioned anywhere on the chart for quick reference
📖Usage Guidelines
Core Settings
Support/Resistance Lookback
Default: 20
Range: 5-50
Description: Sets bars back for S/R levels; lower for recent sensitivity, higher for stable long-term zones – ideal for spotting Wyckoff phases
Volume Spike Multiplier
Default: 1.5
Range: 1.0-3.0
Description: Multiplies 10-period volume SMA; higher values filter to significant spikes, confirming institutional involvement in patterns
ATR for Recovery Measurement
Default: 5
Range: 2-20
Description: ATR period for recovery strength; shorter for volatile markets, longer for smoother analysis of post-break recoveries
Phase Transition Probability Threshold
Default: 0.9
Range: 0.5-0.99
Description: Minimum sigmoid probability for signals; higher for strict filtering, ensuring only high-confidence Wyckoff setups
Display Settings
Dashboard Position
Default: Top Right
Range: Various positions
Description: Places legend table on chart; choose based on layout to avoid overlapping price action
Dashboard Text Size
Default: Normal
Range: Auto to Huge
Description: Adjusts legend text; larger for visibility, smaller for minimal space use
✅Best Use Cases
Swing Trading: Identify Springs for long entries in downtrends turning to accumulation
Day Trading: Catch Upthrusts for short scalps during intraday distribution at resistance
Trend Reversal Confirmation: Use in conjunction with other indicators to validate phase shifts in ranging markets
Volatility Plays: Spot signals in high-volume environments like news events for quick reversals
⚠️Limitations
May produce false signals in low-volume or sideways markets where volume spikes are unreliable
Depends on historical data, so performance varies in unprecedented market conditions or gaps
Probability model is statistical, not predictive, and cannot account for external factors like news
💡What Makes This Unique
Probability-Driven Filtering: Sigmoid model combines multiple factors for superior signal quality over basic Wyckoff detectors
Adaptive Recovery: ATR normalization ensures reliability across assets and timeframes, unlike fixed-threshold tools
User-Centric Design: Tooltips, customizable dashboard, and alerts make it accessible yet powerful for all trader levels
🔬How It Works
Calculate S/R Levels:
Uses the highest high and the lowest low over the lookback period to set dynamic zones
Establishes baseline for detecting breaks in Wyckoff patterns
Detect Breaks and Recovery:
Checks for price breaking support/resistance, then recovering on volume
Measures recovery strength via ATR for volatility adjustment
Apply Probability Model:
Combines volume spike and recovery into a sigmoid function for confidence score
Triggers signal only if above threshold, plotting visuals and alerts
💡Note:
For optimal results, combine with price action analysis and test settings on historical charts. Remember, Wyckoff patterns are most effective in trending markets – use lower probability thresholds for practice, then increase for live trading to focus on high-quality setups.
Dynamic Support and Resistance V2 | AnonycryptousThe Dynamic Support and Resistance V2 indicator, an easy tool to identify key support, resistance, trendline levels, pivot points and volume data.
Pivot Points.
Calculates support, resistance and trendline levels using pivot points, which are derived from the high, low, and close prices of previous trading periods.
Customize the pivot calculation by using Close' or 'High/Low' and adjusting the lookback periods for both the left and right sides of the pivot calculation.
Pivot points are crucial for forecasting potential market turning points, so it allows traders to adapt the indicator to different market conditions and timeframes.
By using pivot points, traders can spot reversal and consolidation levels or trendlines early on, allowing them to react to them in time.
Volume Levels.
This option focuses on identifying support and resistance levels based on volume data, specifically the Point of Control.
The POC is the highest traded volume price level during a time period.
This POC calculation, allow traders to areas of significant trading levels as support or resistance zones.
Volume-based levels gives insights into market sentiment and showes strong support and resistance based on trading volume.
Traders can choose between pivot-based and volume-based levels or use both simultaneously, depending on their analysis.
The indicator offers custom colors, so the trader can customize their visual analysis to their own style.
It calculates the importance of each level based on the number of touches and the duration it holds.
This indicator is intended for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice.
Trading involves significant risk, and you should consult with a financial advisor before making any trading decisions.
The performance of this indicator is not guaranteed, and past results do not predict future performance.
