Trading ChannelTrading Channel aims to be a canvas on which to develop any strategy that the user feels comfortable with.
The greatest utility of the script lies in the fact that it plots a channel over the price action, as a support and resistance pivot, within which the price action develops.
It is a script of maximum simplicity in concept and development, but at the same time presents robust support to the price action and a quick visual aid complementary to any indicators that the user works with, feels comfortable with, and uses as a basis for their strategies.
The script includes the following features (most of them disabled by default, available for potential use without the need to add additional indicators):
Fast SMA
Medium SMA
Slow SMA (disabled)
Fast EMA (disabled)
Medium EMA (disabled)
Slow EMA (disabled)
Pivot
Pivot SMA
P Multiplier
Set of resistance and support pivots according to the studies of John L. Person (R3, R2, R1, S1, S2, S3 and midpoints) (disabled by default)
Channel for the current time period in use
Channels for extended time periods (disabled by default)
Various trend, momentum, and overbought/oversold indicating labels (note that the calculations for their representation are based on SMA's even though EMA's are visualized).
SMA's/EMA's
Both are available as both are used as basic indicators for different types of strategies. The default selection of SMA's in this case is based on the fact that the script development is largely based on the studies shared by John L. Person in the area of pivots and by Bill Williams in the area of fractals. Note also that for that same reason the various trend, momentum, and overbought/oversold indicating labels are calculated based on them.
Set of resistance and support pivots
They are included as a consultation tool especially for the higher time periods. They can be used to mark the most interesting supports/resistances and not lose sight of them while operating in lower time periods. Marking monthly, weekly, and daily pivots can be very useful. Additionally, marking S1 and R2 for bullish trends, S1 and R1 for ranges, and S2 and R1 for bearish trends can provide an even more precise framework to work on.
P Multiplier
It is set by default at 4, and is the basis for being able to consider during the use of a specific time frame, the price action with respect to higher time frames. It is the multiplier used for the generation of channels for extended time periods.
Channel for the current time period in use
It is a channel formed by the maximum and minimum closing of the last 21 periods. This value is modifiable and its adjustment depends on the asset under study. 24/7 markets show good results with this adjustment (in the case of BTC really good).
This channel represents a pivot in the form of a yellow middle line, with its support and resistance extremes on the upper green and lower red lines. The same green and red lines, referenced this time to the maximum, are added and serve as possible stop-loss marks.
Channels for extended time periods
Enabling the maximum and minimum channels for extended periods can provide a better idea of the price situation (it is recommended to disable the channel in use and enable the upper one for consultation, it provides a better vision).
Identifying labels:
Following a summary explanation for possible long entries, the same but opposite should be considered for possible short entries:
Small green arrow under candle: indicates possible upward trend (pivot above pivot SMA)
Large green arrow under candle: indicates upward trend (pivot above pivot SMA and above fast SMA)
Green triangle over candle: indicates channel breakout, possible upward momentum (represented as a fractal as its concept is the same)
Green/red arrows at the bottom of the chart: intended to confirm the validity of a signal (should doubt green indications with red lower arrow and vice versa)
Green/red dots at the bottom of the chart: red represents areas of strong resistance and green signals of strong support (with red dots, proceed with caution despite green signals, and vice versa)
Comments
It is emphasized that the basic and most useful functionality of this script is to provide a reliable base on which to develop any strategy, as a framework for working.
If the identifying labels are used, it should be taken into account that the earliest will always be the most reliable and valuable, but their confirmation will always depend on the user's strategy.
Its use in conjunction with the "Pivot Position for Trading Channel" indicator can serve as a base for the development of different strategies, by providing indication of the relative position of the price within the channel.
This script is just a consultation tool with didactic goals, it should not be used as an investment recommendation and the information provided should not be relied upon as such.
------------------------
Trading Channel pretende ser un lienzo sobre el que desarrollar cualquiera que sea la estrategia con la que el usuario se sienta más cómodo.
La mayor utilidad del script radica en que se traza sobre la acción del precio un canal, a modo de pivotes de soporte y resistencia, dentro del cual se desarrolla la acción del precio.
Se trata de un script de máxima sencillez en concepto y desarrollo, pero que a la vez presenta un soporte robusto a la acción del precio y una ayuda rápida visual complementaria a cualquieras que sean los indicadores con los que el usuario trabaje, se sienta más cómodo y utilice como base de sus estrategias.
El script incluye las siguientes funcionalidades (la mayoría desactivadas por defecto, disponibles para su potencial uso sin necesidad de añadir indicadores adicionales):
- SMA rápida
- SMA media
- SMA lenta (desactivada)
- EMA rápida (desactivada)
- EMA media (desactivada)
- EMA lenta (desactivada)
- Pivote
- SMA de pivote
- Multiplicador de P
- Conjunto de pivotes resistencia y soporte de acuerdo a los estudios de John L. Person (R3, R2, R1, S1, S2, S3 y puntos medios) (desactivados por defecto)
- Canal para el periodo temporal en uso
- Canales para periodos temporales extendidos (desactivados por defecto)
- Diversas etiquetas indicativas de cambios de tendencia, de impulso y de sobrecompra y sobreventa (nótese que los cálculos para su representación están basados en SMA's aunque se visualicen EMA's).
SMA's/EMA's
Ambas disponibles pues tanto unas como otras son utilizadas como indicadores básicos para diferentes tipos de estrategias. La selección de SMA's por defecto en este caso se basa en que las bases para desarrollo del script son en gran medida los estudios compartidos por John L. Person en el área de pivotes y de Bill Williams en el área de los fractales. Nótese también que por esa misma razón las diversas etiquetas indicativas de cambios de tendencia, impulso y sobrecompra/sobreventa se calculan en base a ellas.
Conjunto de pivotes resistencia y soporte
Se incluyen como herramienta de consulta sobre todo para los periodos temporales más altos. Pueden utilizarse para marcar los soportes/resistencias de más interés y no perderlos de vista mientras se opera en periodos de tiempo más bajos. De acuerdo a los estudios de John L. Person, marcarse los pivotes mensuales, semanales y diarios puede resultar de mucha utilidad. Adicionalmente, marcar S1 y R2 para tendencias alcistas, S1 y R1 para rangos, y S2 y R1 para tendencias bajistas puede proporcionar un marco aún más preciso sobre el que trabajar.
Multiplicador de p
Está fijado por defecto en 4, y es la base para poder considerar durante el uso de una franja temporal concreta, la acción del precio respecto a franjas temporales superiores. Es el multiplicador utilizado para la generación de los canales para periodos temporales extendidos.
Canal para el periodo temporal en uso
Se trata de un canal conformado por los cierres máximos y mínimos de los últimos 21 periodos. Este valor es modificable y su ajuste depende del activo en estudio. Mercados 24/7 muestran buenos resultados con este ajuste (en el caso de BTC realmente buenos).
Este canal representa en cierta manera un pivote en forma de línea intermedia amarilla, con sus extremos de soporte y resistencia en las líneas verdes superior y roja inferior. Se añaden las mismas líneas verdes y rojas, referenciadas esta vez a los máximos, que sirven como posibles marcas de stop-loss.
Canales para periodos temporales extendidos
Habilitar los máximos y mínimos de canales de periodos extendidos puede proporcionar una mejor idea de la situación del precio (se recomienda deshabilitar el canal en uso y habilitar el superior para consulta, proporciona una mejor visión).
Etiquetas identificativas:
A continuación explicación resumida para posibles entradas en largo, lo mismo pero de modo opuesto debería considerarse para posibles entradas en corto:
Flecha verde pequeña bajo vela: indica inicio de tendencia en alza (pivote por encima de SMA de pivote y ambos por encima de SMA rápida)
Flecha verde grande bajo vela: indica tendencia en alza (pivote por encima de SMA de pivote y ambos por encima de SMA rápida y media)
Triángulo verde sobre vela: indica rotura de canal, posible impulso al alza (representado a modo de fractal pues su concepto es el mismo)
Flechas verdes/rojas a pie de gráfico: pretenden confirmar la validez de una señal (debería dudarse de las indicaciones verdes con flecha inferior roja y viceversa)
Puntos verdes/rojos a pie de gráfico: los rojos representan áreas de fuerte resistencia y los verdes de fuerte soporte (con puntos rojos, proceder con cautela pese a señales verdes, y viceversa)
Comentarios
Se insiste en que la funcionalidad básica y de mayor utilidad de este script es proporcionar una base confiable sobre la que desarrollar cualquier estrategia, a modo de marco de trabajo.
Si se hace uso de las etiquetas identificativas, debe tenerse en cuenta que las más prematuras siempre serán las más confiables y valiosas, pero que su confirmación siempre dependerá de la estrategia por parte del usuario.
Su uso en conjunción al indicador "Pivot Position for Trading Channel" puede servir de base para el desarrollo de diferentes estrategias, al proporcionar indicación de la posición relativa del precio dentro del canal.
Este script es solo una herramienta de consulta con objetivos didácticos, no debe ser utilizado como recomendación de inversión y no se debe confiar en ella como tal.

Support & Resistance Trendlines with PP + Fib. Channel█ Support & Resistance Trendlines with Pivot Points + Fibonacci Channel
This script automatically draw support and resistance trend lines based on pivot points and add a fibonacci channel.
It will show potential patterns with the help of support and resistance lines as well as breakout target and pullback entry with the fibonacci extension and retracement levels.
It is based on atolelole's script, I only made it more configurable so please check out his script.
I added the possibility to change values and add additional retracement and extension levels.
I also made it customizable with the possibility to change lines color, width and style.
PA Swings [TTA]Hello traders!
This script helps identify swing high levels of resistance and swing low levels of support via price action.
The indicator is designed to help identify support and resistance by measuring retracements. When the retracement has reached the threshold, the indicator identifies the high or low with a horizontal, solid line.
This line will continue until it is violated. Once it is violated it will adjust to a dashed line and continue until it is violated again (retested).
Therefore, a solid line resembles an unviolated swing level; a dashed line resembles a violated swing level that has yet to be retested.
Ideally, this script will filter some movements by identifying impulses in the market. Knowing that price is in a trending move rather than bouncing around in a range can help traders in their analysis. In range bound conditions the indicator will show small impulses, sometimes trapped by a support and/or resistance line. In trending markets there will be separation between the support and resistance lines.
Retests are also identified by the indicator.
Retests of swing highs and lows may induce precise, repeatable price moves - something a trader might find advantageous. A log is included to help identify potential price levels based on historical actions when an impulse or a retest occurs.
Consequently, this may help traders identify take-profit targets and avoid stop losses that are too close to the entry point.
The indicator has a color identity panel to help you get familiar with the colored lines, line types, and what they mean. The color panel is concealable. Additional customization options are available, such as toggling the chart labels. These labels distinguish impulses up and down, retests, and the distance price has traveled since breaking or creating a support or resistance level.
This can be toggled off. A High-Volume Swings only option is available for those that wish to filter out low volume movements (such as extended market hours).
You also have the option of hiding far away lines and can define what is “far away” for them % wise. It is defaulted to 15% which may need to be adjusted on lower timeframes.
Inactive lines can be shown or they can be removed in the settings as well. While this indicator can find some great levels of support or resistance it is important to remember that, should you find this script helpful, it is a tool in your toolbox!! (:
Hope you enjoy and thank you for checking this out!
Volume Adaptive Bollinger Bands (MZ VABB)This indicator is a functional enhancement to John Bollinger's Bollinger Bands. I've used Volume to adapt dynamic length which is used in basis (middle line) of Bollinger Bands and Simple Moving Average is replaced with Adaptive Ehlers Deviation Scaled Moving Average ( AEDSMA ).
BOLLINGER BANDS BASIC USAGE AND LIMITATIONS
Bollinger bands are popular among traders because of their simple way to detect volatility in market and redefine support and resistance accordingly. These are some basic usages of original Bollinger Bands:
Most commonly Bollinger Band works on 20 period Simple Moving Average as Basis / Middle Line and standard deviation of 2 for volatility detection.
Upper and lower bands can act as support and resistance which accordingly update with standard deviation of same period as of Simple Moving Average.
As upper and lower bands act as volatility measure which benefits in Squeeze detection and breakout trading.
Among all the usages there are some limitations as follows:
Original Bollinger Bands use 20 period Simple Moving Average as Basis which itself restricted to some number of data pints and if market moves in one direction or simply goes sideways for long time; candles can stay on either bands for long time. This gives benefit for staying in directional trade but will completely nullify the use of both bands as support and resistance.
Above point simply be explained as markets can stay overbought / oversold for long time and one way to make Bollinger Bands more useful is to simply use higher periods in SMA but as we know with higher periods SMA becomes more laggy and less adaptive.
Most traders use BBs alongside some other Volume Oscillator for example "On Balance Volume" but that does solve BBs limitations issue that it should be more adaptive to detect volatility in market.
VOLUME ADAPTIVE BOLLINGER BAND WORKING PRINCIPLE
Best way to make original Bollinger band more adaptive was to just use dynamic length instead on constant 20 period. This dynamic length had to be based on some other powerful parameter which can't be volatility as BB itself is a volatility indicator and adapting its length based volatility would have been superimposing volatility on Bollinger bands giving unrealistic results.
For adaptive length, I tried using Volume and for this purpose I used my Relative Volume Strength Index " RVSI " indicator. RVSI is the best way to detect if Volume is going for a breakout or not and based on that indication length of Bollinger Band Basis Moving Average changes.
RVSI breaking above provided value would indicate Volume breakout and hence dynamic length would accordingly make Bollinger band basis moving average more over fitted and similarly standard deviation of achieved dynamic length would give better bands for support and resistance. Similar case would happen if Volume goes down and dynamic length becomes more underfit.
According to my back testing studies I found that Simple Moving Average wasn't the best choice for dynamic length usage in Bollinger Band Basis. So, I used Adaptive Ehlers Deviation Scaled Moving Average ( AEDSMA ) which is more adaptive and already modified to adapt with RVSI.
SLOPE USAGE FOR TREND STRENGTH DETCTION
Volume Adaptive Bollinger Bands are more reactive to market trends so, I used slope for trend strength detection.
If slope of Volume Adaptive Bollinger Band Basis (i.e. AEDSMA ), Upper and Lower Bands is supporting a trend at same time then script will provide signal in that direction. That signal can also use Volume as confirmation if Bollinger Bands trend direction is supported by Volume or not.
DYNAMIC COLORS AND TREND CORRELATION
I’ve used dynamic coloring in Basis ( AEDSMA ) to identify trends with more detail which are as follows:
Lime Color: Slope supported Strong Uptrend also supported by Volume and Volatility or whatever you’ve chosen from both of them.
Fuchsia Color: Weak uptrend only supported by Slope or whatever you’ve selected.
Red Color: Slope supported Strong Downtrend also supported by Volume and Volatility or whatever you’ve chosen from both of them.
Grey Color: Weak Downtrend only supported by Slope or whatever you’ve selected.
Yellow Color: Possible reversal indication by Slope if enabled. Market is either sideways, consolidating or showing choppiness during that period.
SIGNALS
Green Circle: Market good for long with support of Volume and Volatility or whatever you’ve chosen from both of them.
Red Circle: Market good to short with support from Volume and Volatility or whatever you’ve chosen from both of them.
Flag: Market either touched upper or lower band and can act as good TP and warning for reversal.
FIBONACCI BANDS
I’ve included Fibonacci multiple bands which would act as good support/resistance zones. For example, 0.618 Fib level act as good local support and resistance in both upper and lower zones. Fibonacci values can be modified but should be lower than 1.
DEFAULT SETTINGS
I’ve set default Minimum length to 50 and Maximum length to 100 which I’ve found works best for almost all timeframes but you can change this delta to adapt your timeframe accordingly with more precision.
Dynamic length adoption is enabled based on Volume only but volatility can be selected which is already explained above.
Trend signals are enabled based on Slope and Volume but Volatility can be enabled for more precise confirmations.
In “ RVSI ” settings "Klinger Volume Oscillator" is set to default but others work good too especially Volume Zone Oscillator. For more details about Volume Breakout you can check “MZ RVSI Indicator".
ATR breakout is set to be positive if period 14 exceeds period 46 but can be changed if more adaption with volatility is required.
EDSMA super smoother filter length is set to 20 which can be increased to 50 or more for better smoothing but this will also change slope results accordingly.
EDSMA super smoother filter poles are set to 2 because found better results with 2 instead of 3.
FURTHER ENHANCEMENTS
So far, I've achieved better results with "Klinger Volume Oscillator" in RVSI but TFS Volume Oscillator and On Balance Volume can be used which would change dynamic length differently. It doesn't mean that results would be wrong with some oscillator and precise with others but every oscillator works in its specific way for and RVSI just detect strength of Volume based on provided oscillator.
FIBS S/R IndicatorHello,
I've decided to publish a new script. The previous version of this script was removed by admins for breaking community rules.
So I present to you the Fibonacci Support / Resistance.
1. How does it work
Ratio plots
I first take the input of pivot look back and search for pivots high and low.
And then it takes a second look back to search highest high and lowest low to establish the top bottom range.
Then using the top and bottom I plot ratios provided as input. Defaults to most relevant 5 ratios I've found (Fibonacci):
Ratio 0 = 0 - can't be changed
Ratio 1 = 0.5
Ratio 2 = 0.618
Ratio 3 = 1
Ratio 4 = 1.618
Ratio 5 = 2.618
Any changes done to these ratios should be in order, otherwise conditions could get messed up. So R1 needs to the lowest and R5 the highest.
Also the same ratios are used in reverse as negative ratios.
There is a option to plot all ratios but gets really confusing for me but maybe for you it works. By default there are certain conditions set so that as we go up new resistance ratio get displayed and as we go down we see new resistance plots.
Trendlines
I've also added some automatic trendline plots with breakout warning labels based on the pivots high and low. Start and end for trendlines can be changed via inputs.
Labels can be deactivated via input. On a older version the trendlines and labels where not removed from the chart but I felt like there was to much information.
Overcooked/Undercooked
I've also added some fills and background colors that indicate if the price action is over R5 or under Negative R5 ratios. This usually indicates some "overcooking" or "undecooking".
I've notices that after "crossunder"/"crossover" top bottom ratios it goes in consolidation or it dumps. So then I plot a bgcolor to signal that.
2. How to use it
Using plot lines we can determine where we have support and resistance. I found that the best way to use the default ratios values is on the 1H chart. Very good for trading on crypto because of current situation in the market where there is a lot of new people entering the space and volatility and sentiment make swings respect the Fibonacci ratios.
3. Examples
For instance lets look at BINANCE:BTCUSDT .
On the left we see that the price action between 20 and 21 February was "overcooked". So after we got the signal that we "crossunder" the R5 the signal was triggered and we got a small red candle followed by a small dip and after that we got a small bounce and a dump.
If we also look at MF-RSI we can also see we got multiple bear divs.
Lets entertain the idea that we went short at ~57.1k as soon as we get signaled and it starts dumping.
Where does it stop ?
We can see it went all the way down to Negative R5 ratio. Normally that should signal "undercooking" but this was not triggered as it did not close under it (signaled in green).
We can also see that previous support now becomes resistance (signaled in red).
If we take a look at BINANCE:ETHUSDT , we do see that the "undercooking" was triggered here.
I will be publishing a more detailed Idea with examples of using this on the BINANCE:BTCUSDT chart in combination with Volume and other technical analysis.
Use with caution, this is not 100% signal indicator as the markets do what they want. But by using this in combination with other indicators like MF-RSI, EMAs and regular patterns we can get some targets for Support/Resistance.
I'm trying to create a strategy based on this indicator but I'm not getting very good results. Best results were on the 15 min chart with gross profits around ~50%.
Please try to play around with the inputs and let me know if you find something interesting, maybe I can incorporate new features in the indicator.
You can find the MF-RSI indicator here
Price Action - Support & Resistance by DGTSᴜᴘᴘᴏʀᴛ ᴀɴᴅ Rᴇꜱɪꜱᴛᴀɴᴄᴇ , is undoubtedly one of the key concepts of technical analysis
█ Sᴜᴘᴘᴏʀᴛ ᴀɴᴅ Rᴇꜱɪꜱᴛᴀɴᴄᴇ Dᴇꜰɪɴɪᴛɪᴏɴ
Support and Resistance terms are used by traders to refer to price levels on charts that tend to act as barriers, preventing the price of an financial instrument from getting pushed in a certain direction.
A support level is a price level where buyers are more aggressive than sellers. This means that the price is more likely to "bounce" off this level rather than break through it. However, once the price has breached this level it is likely to continue falling until meeting another support level.
A resistance level is the opposite of a support level. It is where the price tends to find resistance as it rises. Again, this means that the price is more likely to "bounce" off this level rather than break through it. However, once the price has breached this level it is likely to continue rising until meeting another resistance level.
A previous support level will sometimes become a resistance level when the price attempts to move back up, and conversely, a resistance level will become a support level as the price temporarily falls back.
█ Iᴅᴇɴᴛɪꜰʏɪɴɢ Sᴜᴘᴘᴏʀᴛ ᴀɴᴅ Rᴇꜱɪꜱᴛᴀɴᴄᴇ
Support and resistance can come in various forms, and the concept is more difficult to master than it first appears. Identification of key support and resistance levels is an essential ingredient to successful technical analysis.
If the price stalls and reverses in the same price area on minimum of two different occasions, then a horizontal line is drawn to show that the market is struggling to move past that area. Those areas are static barriers, one of the most popular forms of support/resistance and are highlighted with horizontal lines.
Repeated test , the more often a support/resistance level is "tested" over an extended period of time (touched and bounced off by price), the more significance is given to that specific level
High volume , the more buying and selling that has occurred at a particular price level, the stronger the support or resistance level is likely to be
Market psychology , plays a major role as traders and investors remember the past and react to changing conditions to anticipate future market movement.
Psychological levels , is a price level that significantly affects the price of an underlying financial instrument. Typically, near round numbers often serve as support and resistance
The following support and resistance related topics are beyond the scope of this study, so they will be mentioned roughly only as a reference for support and resistance concept
Trendlines , Support and resistance levels in trends are dynamic. Throughout an uptrend, levels of support tend to look like a trendline, usually clustering around higher lows. As the price rises, the price where buyers consider the stock to be “too cheap” also changes, which creates new support levels on the way up. The same is also true for resistance levels. In an uptrend, a stock is continuously breaking through perceived resistance levels and making new highs
Moving Averages , is a constantly changing line that smooths out past price data while also allowing the trader to identify support and resistance. In the example Notice how the price of the asset finds support at the moving average when the trend is up, and how it acts as resistance when the trend is down
The Fibonacci Retracement/Extension tool , is a favorite among many short-term traders because it clearly identifies levels of potential support and resistance
Pivot Point Calculations , is another common technical analysis technique, where pivot point is calculated based on the high, low, and closing prices of previous trading session/day and support & resistance levels are projected based on the pivot point, different calculation techniques are available, as presented in this example of an pivot point indicator : PVTvX by DGT
█ Tʀᴀᴅɪɴɢ Bᴀꜱᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Sᴜᴘᴘᴏʀᴛ ᴀɴᴅ Rᴇꜱɪꜱᴛᴀɴᴄᴇ
Once an area or "zone" of support or resistance has been identified, those price levels can serve as potential entry or exit points because, as a price reaches a point of support or resistance, it will do one of two things—bounce back away from the support or resistance level (trading ranges), or violate the price level and continue in its direction (trading breakouts) —until it hits the next support or resistance level
The basic trading method for using support and resistance is to buy near support in uptrends or the parts of ranges or chart patterns where prices are moving up and to sell/sell short near resistance in downtrends or the parts of ranges and chart patterns where prices are moving down. Buying near support or selling near resistance can pay off, but there is no assurance that the support or resistance will hold. Therefore, consider waiting for some confirmation that the market is still respecting that area
Trading breakouts, a breakout is a potential trading opportunity that occurs when an asset's price moves above a resistance level or moves below a support level on increasing volume. The first step in trading breakouts is to identify current price trend patterns along with support and resistance levels in order to plan possible entry and exit points. Once the asset trades beyond the price barrier, volatility tends to increase and prices usually trend in the breakout's direction. Breakouts are such an important trading strategy since these setups are the starting point for future volatility increases, large price swings and, in many circumstances, major price trends. When trading breakouts, it is important to consider the underlying asset's support and resistance levels. The more times an asset price has touched these areas, the more valid these levels are and the more important they become. At the same time, the longer these support and resistance levels have been in play, the better the outcome when the asset price finally breaks out. Asset prices will often move slightly further than we expect them to. This doesn't happen all the time, but when it does it is called a false breakout. Therefore it is important to consider waiting for some confirmation while trading breakouts. It’s also popular for traders to sell 50% of their positions at the resistance level, and hold the rest in anticipation of a breakout above resistance
█ Pʀɪᴄᴇ Aᴄᴛɪᴏɴ - Sᴜᴘᴘᴏʀᴛ & Rᴇꜱɪꜱᴛᴀɴᴄᴇ ʙʏ DGT Sᴛᴜᴅʏ
This experimental study attempts to identify the support and resistance levels. Assumes a simple logic to discover moments where the price is rising or falling consecutively for minimum 3 bars with the condition volume increases on each bar and the last bar’s volume should be bigger than the long term volume moving average. A line will be drawn at the end of the move (highest or lowest, depending on the move direction), the line will be drawn at minimum on the 3rd bar and if condition holds for other consecutive bars the line will switch to 4th, 5th etc bar.
Lines will not be deleted so the historical ones will remain and will emphasis the levels significance when they overlap in feature. Strong levels are more likely to hold and cause the price to move in the other direction, whereas the minor levels may only cause the price to pause and keep moving in the same direction. Determining future levels of support and resistance can drastically improve the returns of a short-term investing strategy
Bar colors will be painted based on the volume of the specific bar to its long term volume moving average. This will help identifying the support and resistance levels significance and emphasis the sings of breakouts
Finally, Volume spikes will be marked on top of the price chart. A high volume usually indicates more interest in the security and the presence of institutional traders. However, a rapidly rising price in an uptrend accompanied by a huge volume may be a sign of exhaustion. Traders usually look for breaks of support and resistance to enter positions. When security break critical levels without volume , you should consider the breakout suspect and prime for a reversal off the highs/lows. Volume spikes are often the result of news-driven events. Volume spike will often lead to sharp reversals since the moves are unsustainable due to the imbalance of supply and demand
A good example with many support and resistance concepts observed on a stock chart and detected by the study
Settings:
Length of volume moving average, where volume moving average is used to detect support and resistance levels, is used as reference to compare with threshold values for volume spikes and colors of the bars
Hint, to get more historical lines scrolling chart to left will enable visualization of them. Please note they may appear to much all 500 line limit is used 😉

It's aimed at BTCUSDT pair and 4h timeframe.
STRATEGY DEFAULT SETTINGS EXPLANATION
max_bars_back=5000 : This is a random number of bars so that the strategy test lasts for one or two years
calc_on_order_fills=false : To wait for the 4h closing is too much. Try to check if it's worth entering a position after closing one. I finally decided not to recheck if it's worth entering after an order is closed. So it is false.
calc_on_every_tick=false
pyramiding=0 : We only want one entry allowed in the same direction. And we don't want the order to scale by error.
initial_capital=1000 : These are 1000 USDT. By using 1% maximum loss per trade and 7% as a default stop loss by using 1000 USDT at 12000 USDT per BTC price you would entry with around 142 USDT which are converted into: 0.010 BTC . The maximum number of decimal for contracts on this BTCUSDT market is 3 decimals. E.g. the minimum might be: 0.001 BTC . So, this minimal 1000 amount ensures us not to entry with less than 0.001 entries which might have happened when using 100 USDT as an initial capital.
slippage=1 : Binance BTCUSDT mintick is: 0.01. Binance slippage: 0.1 % (Let's assume). TV has an integer slippage. It does not have a percentage based slippage. If we assume a 1000 initial capital, the recommended equity is 142 which at 11996 USDT per BTC price means: 0.011 BTC. The 0.1% slippage of: 0.011 BTC would be: 0.000011 . This is way smaller than the mintick. So our slippage is going to be 1. E.g. 1 (slippage) * 0.01 (mintick)
commission_type=strategy.commission.percent and commission_value=0.1 : According to: binance . com / en / fee / schedule in VIP 0 level both maker and taker fees are: 0.1 %.
BACKGROUND
Jaime Merino is a well known Youtuber focused on crypto trading
His channel TradingLatino
features monday to friday videos where he explains his strategy.
JAIME MERINO STANCE ON BOTS
Jaime Merino stance on bots (taken from memory out of a 2020 June video from him):
'~
You know. They can program you a bot and it might work.
But, there are some special situations that the bot would not be able to handle.
And, I, as a human, I would handle it. And the bot wouldn't do it.
~'
My long term target with this strategy script is add as many
special situations as I can to the script
so that it can match Jaime Merino behaviour even in non normal circumstances.
My alternate target is learn Pine script
and enjoy programming with it.
WARNING
This script might be bigger than other TradingView scripts.
However, please, do not be confused because the current status is beta.
This script has not been tested with real money.

HOW IT WORKS
It basically uses ADX slope and LazyBear's Squeeze Momentum Indicator
to make its buy and sell decisions.
Fast paced EMA being bigger than slow paced EMA
(on higher timeframe) advices going long.
Fast paced EMA being smaller than slow paced EMA
(on higher timeframe) advices going short.
It finally add many substrats that TradingLatino uses.

(EMAS) EMA10 - Source {close}
(EMAS) EMA55 - Length {55}
(EMAS) EMA55 - Source {close}
____ SETTINGS - Volume Profile
Lowest and highest VPoC from last three days
is used to know if an entry has a support
VPVR of last 100 4h bars
is also taken into account
(VP) Use number of bars (not VP timeframe): Uses 'Number of bars {100}' setting instead of 'Volume Profile timeframe' setting for calculating session VPoC
(VP) Show tick difference from current price {False}: BETA . Might be useful for actions some day.
(VP) Number of bars {100}: If 'Use number of bars (not VP timeframe)' is turned on this setting is used to calculate session VPoC.
(VP) Volume Profile timeframe {1 day}: If 'Use number of bars (not VP timeframe)' is turned off this setting is used to calculate session VPoC.
(VP) Row width multiplier {0.6}: Adjust how the extra Volume Profile bars are shown in the chart.
(VP) Resistances prices number of decimal digits : Round Volume Profile bars label numbers so that they don't have so many decimals.
(VP) Number of bars for bottom VPOC {18}: 18 bars equals 3 days in suggested timeframe of 4 hours. It's used to calculate lowest session VPoC from previous three days. It's also used as a top VPOC for sells.
(VP) Ignore VPOC bottom advice on long {False}: If turned on it ignores bottom VPOC (or top VPOC on sells) when evaluating if a buy entry is worth it.
(VP) Number of bars for VPVR VPOC {100}: Number of bars to calculate the VPVR VPoC. We use 100 as Jaime once used. When the price bounces back to the EMA55 it might just bounce to this VPVR VPoC if its price it's lower than the EMA55 (Sells have inverse algorithm).
____ SETTINGS - ADX Slope
ADX Slope
help us to understand if ADX
has a positive slope, negative slope
or it is rather still.
(ADXSLOPE) ADX cut {23}: If ADX value is greater than this cut (23) then ADX has strength
(ADXSLOPE) ADX minimum steepness entry {45}: ADX slope needs to be 45 degrees to be considered as a positive one.
(ADXSLOPE) ADX minimum steepness exit {45}: ADX slope needs to be -45 degrees to be considered as a negative one.
(ADXSLOPE) ADX steepness periods {3}: In order to avoid false detection the slope is calculated along 3 periods.
____ SETTINGS - Next to EMA55
(NEXTEMA55) EMA10 to EMA55 bounce back percentage {80}: EMA10 might bounce back to EMA55 or maybe to 80% of its complete way to EMA55
(NEXTEMA55) Next to EMA55 percentage {15}: How much next to the EMA55 you need to be to consider it's going to bounce back upwards again.
____ SETTINGS - Stop Loss and Take Profit
You can set a default stop loss or a default take profit.
(STOPTAKE) Stop Loss % {7.0}
(STOPTAKE) Take Profit % {2.0}
____ SETTINGS - Trailing Take Profit
You can customize the default trailing take profit values
(TRAILING) Trailing Take Profit (%) {1.0}: Trailing take profit offset in percentage
(TRAILING) Trailing Take Profit Trigger (%) {2.0}: When 2.0% of benefit is reached then activate the trailing take profit.
____ SETTINGS - MAIN TURN ON/OFF OPTIONS
(EMAS) Ignore advice based on emas {false}.
(EMAS) Ignore advice based on emas (On closing long signal) {False}: Ignore advice based on emas but only when deciding to close a buy entry.
(SQZMOM) Ignore advice based on SQZMOM {false}: Ignores advice based on SQZMOM indicator.
(ADXSLOPE) Ignore advice based on ADX positive slope {false}
(ADXSLOPE) Ignore advice based on ADX cut (23) {true}
(STOPTAKE) Take Profit? {false}: Enables simple Take Profit.
(STOPTAKE) Stop Loss? {True}: Enables simple Stop Loss.
(TRAILING) Enable Trailing Take Profit (%) {True}: Enables Trailing Take Profit.
____ SETTINGS - Strategy mode
(STRAT) Type Strategy: 'Long and Short', 'Long Only' or 'Short Only'. Default: 'Long and Short'.
____ SETTINGS - Risk Management
(RISKM) Risk Management Type: 'Safe', 'Somewhat safe compound' or 'Unsafe compound'. ' Safe ': Calculations are always done with the initial capital (1000) in mind. The maximum losses per trade/day/week/month are taken into account. ' Somewhat safe compound ': Calculations are done with initial capital (1000) or a higher capital if it increases. The maximum losses per trade/day/week/month are taken into account. ' Unsafe compound ': In each order all the current capital is gambled and only the default stop loss per order is taken into account. That means that the maximum losses per trade/day/week/month are not taken into account. Default : 'Somewhat safe compound'.
(RISKM) Maximum loss per trade % {1.0}.
(RISKM) Maximum loss per day % {6.0}.
(RISKM) Maximum loss per week % {8.0}.
(RISKM) Maximum loss per month % {10.0}.
____ SETTINGS - Decimals
(DECIMAL) Maximum number of decimal for contracts {3}: How small (3 decimals means 0.001) an entry position might be in your exchange.
EXTRA 1 - PRICE IS IN RANGE indicator
(PRANGE) Print price is in range {False}: Enable a bottom label that indicates if the price is in range or not.
(PRANGE) Price range periods {5}: How many previous periods are used to calculate the medians
(PRANGE) Price range maximum desviation (%) {0.6} ( > 0 ): Maximum positive desviation for range detection
(PRANGE) Price range minimum desviation (%) {0.6} ( > 0 ): Mininum negative desviation for range detection
EXTRA 2 - SQUEEZE MOMENTUM Desviation indicator
(SQZDIVER) Show degrees {False}: Show degrees of each Squeeze Momentum Divergence lines to the x-axis.
(SQZDIVER) Show desviation labels {False}: Whether to show or not desviation labels for the Squeeze Momentum Divergences.
(SQZDIVER) Show desviation lines {False}: Whether to show or not desviation lines for the Squeeze Momentum Divergences.
EXTRA 3 - VOLUME PROFILE indicator
WARNING: This indicator works not on current bar but on previous bar. So in the worst case it might be VP from 4 hours ago. Don't worry, inside the strategy calculus the correct values are used. It's just that I cannot show the most recent one in the chart.
(VP) Print recent profile {False}: Show Volume Profile indicator
(VP) Avoid label price overlaps {False}: Avoid label prices to overlap on the chart.
EXTRA 4 - ZIGNALY SUPPORT
(ZIG) Zignaly Alert Type {Email}: 'Email', 'Webhook'. ' Email ': Prepare alert_message variable content to be compatible with zignaly expected email content format. ' Webhook ': Prepare alert_message variable content to be compatible with zignaly expected json content format.
EXTRA 5 - DEBUG
(DEBUG) Enable debug on order comments {False}: If set to true it prepares the order message to match the alert_message variable. It makes easier to debug what would have been sent by email or webhook on each of the times an order is triggered.
HOW TO USE THIS STRATEGY
BOT MODE: This is the default setting.
PROPER VOLUME PROFILE VIEWING: Click on this strategy settings. Properties tab. Make sure Recalculate 'each time the order was run' is turned off.
NEWBIE USER: (Check PROPER VOLUME PROFILE VIEWING above!) You might want to turn on the 'Print recent profile {False}' setting. Alternatively you can use my alternate realtime study: 'Resistances and supports based on simplified Volume Profile' but, be aware, it might consume one indicator.
ADVANCED USER 1: Turn on the 'Print price is in range {False}' setting and help us to debug this subindicator. Also help us to figure out how to include this value in the strategy.
ADVANCED USER 2: Turn on the all the (SQZDIVER) settings and help us to figure out how to include this value in the strategy.
ADVANCED USER 3: (Check PROPER VOLUME PROFILE VIEWING above!) Turn on the 'Print recent profile {False}' setting and report any problem with it.
JAIME MERINO: Just use the indicator as it comes by default. It should only show BUY signals, SELL signals and their associated closing signals. From time to time you might want to check 'ADVANCED USER 2' instructions to check that there's actually a divergence. Check also 'ADVANCED USER 1' instructions for your amusement.
EXTRA ADVICE
It's advised that you use this strategy in addition to these two other indicators:
* Squeeze Momentum Indicator
* ADX
so that your chart matches as close as possible to TradingLatino chart.

FEEDBACK
Please check the strategy source code for more detailed information
where, among others, I explain all of the substrats
and if they are implemented or not.
Q1. Did I understand wrong any of the Jaime substrats (which I have implemented)?
Q2. The strategy yields quite profit when we should long (EMA10 from 1d timeframe is higher than EMA55 from 1d timeframe.
Why the strategy yields much less profit when we should short (EMA10 from 1d timeframe is lower than EMA55 from 1d timeframe)?
Any idea if you need to do something else rather than just reverse what Jaime does when longing?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQ1. Why are you giving this strategy for free?
TradingLatino and his fellow enthusiasts taught me this strategy. Now I'm giving back to them.
FAQ2. Seriously! Why are you giving this strategy for free?
I'm confident his strategy might be improved a lot. By keeping it to myself I would avoid other people contributions to improve it.
Now that everyone can contribute this is a win-win.
FAQ3. How can I connect this strategy to my Exchange account?
It seems that you can attach alerts to strategies.
You might want to combine it with a paying account which enable Webhook URLs to work.
I don't know how all of this works right now so I cannot give you advice on it.
You will have to do your own research on this subject. But, be careful. Automating trades, if not done properly,
might end on you automating losses.
FAQ4. I have just found that this strategy by default gives more than 3.97% of 'maximum series of losses'. That's unacceptable according to my risk management policy.
You might want to reduce default stop loss setting from 7% to something like 5% till you are ok with the 'maximum series of losses'.
FAQ5. Where can I learn more about your work on this strategy?
Check the source code. You might find unused strategies. Either because there's not a substantial increases on earnings. Or maybe because they have not been implemented yet.
FAQ6. How much leverage is applied in this strategy?
No leverage.
FAQ7. Any difference with original Jaime Merino strategy?
Most of the times Jaime defines an stop loss at the price entry. That's not the case here. The default stop loss is 7% (but, don't be confused it only means losing 1% of your investment thanks to risk management). There's also a trailing take profit that triggers at 2% profit with a 1% trailing.
FAQ8. Why this strategy return is so small?
The strategy should be improved a lot. And, well, backtesting in this platform is not guaranteed to return theoric results comparable to real-life returns. That's why I'm personally forward testing this strategy to verify it.

Efficient Support & Resistance LevelsThis script is a mixture of my two previous scripts "True Strong Classical Support/Resistance Levels" and "Hidden Supports & Resistances + Round Levels". This combination brings on better identification of the most efficient support/resistance levels.
Note that "Hidden SnR Levels" part of the code is only expected to work on Forex charts, but apart from that, the other parts could be applied to any chart.
The script may:
- Draw classical support/resistance levels which retraced the price previously, aided by multi-timeframe analysis
- Draw hidden support/resistance levels based on psychological patterns of the price
- Adjust to wicks better than Pine Script built-in pivot functions
- Differ the levels color based on chart reactions
- Merge nearby classical levels to avoid congestion on the chart
Feel free to use it and send me your thoughts.
[PX] External LevelHello everyone,
today I'd like to share a script, which enables you to use external logic to plot levels on your chart.
How does it work?
The concept is based on two scripts. One script, which uses an external input as a trigger to print a new level and one script that calculates an output, which will be fetched.
Sounds complicated? It really is not! Let's take a closer look.
// This source code is subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public License 2.0 at mozilla.org
// © paaax
//@version=4
study("RSI OS/OB")
l = input(14, "RSI Length")
ob = input(70, "Overbought")
os = input(30, "Oversold")
r = rsi(close, l)
hline(ob)
hline(os)
plot(r, "RSI", color=color.orange)
// The following plot produces an output, which will be fetched the "External Level"-script.
// It evaluates to one of the following three values: 1.0, -1.0 or 0.0
plot(crossover(r, ob) ? 1.0 : crossunder(r, os) ? -1.0 : 0.0, "Output", transp=100)
The example script above uses an RSI and two threshold levels (70 and 30). The logic here is, that whenever the RSI is crossing down the lower threshold or crossing up the upper threshold we'd consider the current movement to be either oversold or overbought. Therefore, it's a point of interest, which we could visualize with a level.
The script creates an output when the crossover or crossunder of a threshold happens. A crossover would result in a value of 1.0, a crossunder in a value of -1.0. In all other cases the value would be 0.0.
The output of the RSI script would then be used as an input of the External Level script, which has a "Source"-parameter in its input-section. If the fetched input shows 1.0, then the script prints a resistance level. If it shows -1.0 a support level will be printed. And that's basically it. A very simple approach to print levels on your chart with an infinite number of use cases.
For example, you could use fetch outputs from a MACD script, MA script, outputs based on volume or price movement. Just remember the output has to evaluate to either 1.0 or -1.0 and has to be selected in the input-section.
Hope that might be useful to some of you :)

[fikira] Fibonacci MA / EMA's (Fibma / Fibema)I've made SMA/EMA's NOT based on the principle of the 2(1+1), 3(2+1),
5(3+2), 8(5+3), 13(8+5), 21(13+8), 34(21+13), 55(34+21), ... numbers,
but based on these following Fibonacci numbers:
0,236
0,382
0,500
0,618
0,764
1
Ending up with 2 series of Fibma / Fibema:
"Tiny Fibma / Fibema":
24, 38, 50, 62, 76, 100
"Big Fibma / Fibema":
236, 382, 500, 618, 764, 1000
IMHO it is striking how these lines often act as Resistance/Support,
although (except the 50, 100 & 500) they are not typical MA/EMA's.
They perform very well on every Timeframe as well!
Week:
3 Days:
1 Day:
4h:
1h:
Even on the 15 minutes:
Or 5':
Things to watch for:
Price compared to the Tiny or Big Fibma / Fibema (below or above)
Price compared to important Fibma / Fibema (for example below or
above MA 236, MA 764, MA 1000, ...)
Crossing of Fibma / Fibema 24/76, 236/764 and 38/62, 382/618
(bullish crossover = Lime coloured "cloud", bearish crossunder = Red coloured "cloud"),
...
I've made a change in barcolor if the close crosses the "Big Fibma / Fibema 500"
If price closes above MA/EMA 500, the first bar is yellow coloured,
if price stays above this level, candles are coloured lime/orange (= very bullish)
If price closes under MA/EMA 500, the first bar is purple,
if price stays under this level, candles are standard coloured (= very bearish)
Strategy will follow,
Thanks!

KCP Support & Resistance [Dr.K.C.PRAKASH]ChatGPT said:
This indicator “KCP Support & Resistance ” (Pine Script v5) is a multi-featured support & resistance tool that combines pivots, slope-based channels, Fibonacci options, and SMA200 trend reference.
🔎 Core Concept
The script identifies pivot highs and lows and uses them to draw support and resistance levels on the chart.
It allows you to visualize them in two ways:
Horizontal lines (flat support/resistance at pivot values).
Parallel slope-based lines (trend-adjusted, drawn with slope factor).
⚙️ Settings & Options
Theme
useDark: Switches to a dark-color palette with bright neon-style lines for better visibility on dark charts.
Basic Settings
length: Pivot length (bars used to detect swing high/low).
lookback: How many past pivot points to use for plotting lines.
Slope: Multiplier applied to slope calculations (for slanted trendline-style S/R).
Extend Horizontal Lines Left?: Option to extend horizontal lines to both sides.
Extend Parallel Lines Left?: Same for slope-based lines.
Show/Hide Controls
Show Parallel Lines?: Toggle diagonal support/resistance.
Show Horizontal Lines?: Toggle flat levels.
Show SMA 200 Line?: Toggle long-term SMA(200) reference.
Hide Fibonacci Lines? / Show Fib Trend Line? / Show All Fibonacci Lines?: (reserved for Fib functionality).
Line Colors
Customizable line colors for parallel & horizontal high/low lines.
If Dark Theme is enabled → Uses preset colors:
Electric Blue (Resistance - Parallel Highs)
Neon Green (Support - Parallel Lows)
Deep Red/Pink (Horizontal Highs)
Warm Yellow (Horizontal Lows)
📐 Logic & Calculations
Pivot Detection
Uses ta.pivothigh & ta.pivotlow with length to mark swing points.
Stores them in arrays for drawing multiple levels.
Slope Calculation
Uses covariance/variance of price vs. time (bar_index) to estimate slope.
Multiplied by Slope factor.
Makes trend-following parallel support/resistance lines possible.
Line Drawing
Parallel lines: Slanted, based on pivot highs/lows + slope.
Horizontal lines: Flat support & resistance levels extended across the chart.
SMA200 Plot
Plots SMA(200) for long-term trend direction.
Colored white if EMA(200) > SMA(200), else yellow (trend bias visual).
📊 What You See on Chart
Support & Resistance drawn dynamically from pivots.
Choice of horizontal (classic S/R) or sloped (trend-following) lines.
Dark theme colors → Electric blue, neon green, deep pink, warm yellow (if enabled).
SMA200 reference line → Helps identify bullish/bearish long-term bias.
Optional Fibonacci lines (future expansion).
Multiple Colored Moving AveragesMULTIPLE COLORED MOVING AVERAGES - USER GUIDE
DISCLAIMER
----------
Both the code and this documentation were created heavily using artificial intelligence. I'm lazy...
This indicator was inspired by repo32's "Moving Average Colored EMA/SMA" indicator. *
What is this indicator?
-----------------------
This is a TradingView indicator that displays up to 4 different moving averages on your chart simultaneously. Each moving average can be customized with different calculation methods, colors, and filtering options.
Why would I use multiple moving averages?
-----------------------------------------
- See trend direction across different timeframes at once
- Identify support and resistance levels
- Spot crossover signals between fast and slow MAs
- Reduce false signals with filtering options
- Compare how different MA types react to price action
What moving average types are available?
----------------------------------------
11 different types:
- SMA: Simple average, equal weight to all periods
- EMA: Exponential, more weight to recent prices
- WMA: Weighted, linear weighting toward recent data
- RMA: Running average, smooth like EMA
- DEMA: Double exponential, reduced lag
- TEMA: Triple exponential, even less lag
- HMA: Hull, fast and smooth combination
- VWMA: Volume weighted, includes volume data
- LSMA: Least squares, based on linear regression
- TMA: Triangular, double-smoothed
- ZLEMA: Zero lag exponential, compensated for lag
How do I set up the indicator?
------------------------------
Each MA has these settings:
- Enable/Disable: Turn each MA on or off
- Type: Choose from the 11 calculation methods
- Length: Number of periods (21, 50, 100, 200 are common)
- Smoothing: 0-10 levels of extra smoothing
- Noise Filter: 0-5% to ignore small changes
- Colors: Bullish (rising) and bearish (falling) colors
- Line Width: 1-5 pixels thickness
What does the smoothing feature do?
-----------------------------------
Smoothing applies extra calculations to make the moving average line smoother. Higher levels reduce noise but make the MA respond slower to price changes. Use higher smoothing in choppy markets, lower smoothing in trending markets.
What is the noise filter?
--------------------------
The noise filter ignores small percentage changes in the moving average. For example, a 0.3% filter will ignore any MA movement smaller than 0.3%. This helps eliminate false signals from minor price fluctuations.
When should I use this indicator?
---------------------------------
- Trend analysis: See if market is going up, down, or sideways
- Entry timing: Look for price bounces off MA levels
- Exit signals: Watch for MA slope changes or crossovers
- Support/resistance: MAs often act as dynamic levels
- Multi-timeframe analysis: Use different lengths for different perspectives
What are some good settings to start with?
-------------------------------------------
Conservative approach:
- MA 1: EMA 21 (short-term trend)
- MA 2: SMA 50 (medium-term trend)
- MA 3: SMA 200 (long-term trend)
- Low noise filtering (0.1-0.3%)
Active trading:
- MA 1: HMA 9 (very responsive)
- MA 2: EMA 21 (short-term)
- MA 3: EMA 50 (medium-term)
- Minimal or no smoothing
How do I interpret the colors?
------------------------------
Each MA changes color based on its direction:
- Bullish color: MA is rising (upward trend)
- Bearish color: MA is falling (downward trend)
- Gray: MA is flat or unchanged
What should I look for in crossovers?
-------------------------------------
- Golden Cross: Fast MA crosses above slow MA (bullish signal)
- Death Cross: Fast MA crosses below slow MA (bearish signal)
- Multiple crossovers in same direction can confirm trend changes
- Wait for clear separation between MAs after crossover
How do I use MAs for support and resistance?
---------------------------------------------
- In uptrends: MAs often provide support when price pulls back
- In downtrends: MAs may act as resistance on rallies
- Multiple MAs create support/resistance zones
- Stronger levels where multiple MAs cluster together
Can I use this with other indicators?
-------------------------------------
Yes, it works well with:
- Volume indicators for confirmation
- RSI or MACD for timing entries
- Bollinger Bands for volatility context
- Price action patterns for setup confirmation
What if I get too many signals?
-------------------------------
- Increase smoothing levels
- Raise noise filter percentages
- Use longer MA periods
- Focus on major crossovers only
- Wait for multiple MA confirmation
What if signals are too slow?
-----------------------------
- Reduce smoothing to 0
- Lower noise filter values
- Switch to faster MA types (HMA, ZLEMA, DEMA)
- Use shorter periods
- Focus on the fastest MA only
Which MA types work best in different markets?

Extreme Zone Volume ProfileExtreme Zone Volume Profile (EZVP)
Originality & Innovation
The Extreme Zone Volume Profile (EZVP) revolutionizes traditional volume profile analysis by applying statistical zone classification to volume distribution. Unlike standard volume profiles that display raw volume data, EZVP segments the price range into statistically meaningful zones based on percentile thresholds, allowing traders to instantly identify where volume concentration suggests strong support/resistance versus areas of potential breakout.
Technical Methodology
Core Algorithm:
Distributes volume across user-defined bins (20-200) over a lookback period
Calculates volume-weighted price levels for each bin
Applies percentile-based zone classification to the price range (not volume ranking)
Zone B (extreme zones): Outer percentile tails representing potential rejection areas
Zone A (significant zones): Secondary percentile bands indicating strong interest levels
Center Zone: Bulk trading range where most price discovery occurs
Mathematical Foundation:
The script uses price-range percentiles rather than volume percentiles. If the total price range is divided into 100%, Zone B captures the extreme price tails (default 2.5% each end ≈ 2 standard deviations), Zone A captures the next significant bands (default 14% each ≈ 1 standard deviation), leaving the center for normal distribution trading.
Key Calculations:
POC (Point of Control): Price level with maximum volume accumulation
Volume-weighted mean price: Total volume × price / total volume
Median price: Geometric center of the price range
Rightward-projected bars: Volume bars extend forward from current time to avoid historical chart clutter
Trading Applications
Zone Interpretation:
Zone B (Red/Green): Extreme price levels where volume suggests strong rejection potential. Price reaching these zones often indicates overextension and possible reversal points.
Zone A (Orange/Teal): Significant support/resistance areas with substantial volume interest. These levels often act as intermediate targets or consolidation zones.
Center (Gray): Fair value area where most trading occurs. Price tends to return to this range during normal market conditions.
Strategic Usage:
Reversal Trading: Look for rejection signals when price enters Zone B areas
Breakout Confirmation: Volume expansion beyond Zone B boundaries suggests genuine breakouts
Support/Resistance: Zone A boundaries often provide reliable entry/exit levels
Mean Reversion: Price tends to gravitate toward the volume-weighted mean and POC lines
Unique Value Proposition
EZVP addresses three key limitations of traditional volume profiles:
Visual Clarity: Standard profiles can be cluttered and difficult to interpret quickly. EZVP's color-coded zones provide instant visual feedback about price significance.
Statistical Framework: Rather than relying on subjective interpretation of volume nodes, EZVP applies objective percentile-based classification, making support/resistance identification more systematic.
Forward-Looking Display: Rightward-projecting bars keep historical price action clean while maintaining current market structure visibility.
Configuration Guide
Lookback Period (10-1000): Controls the historical depth of volume calculation. Shorter periods for intraday scalping, longer for swing trading.
Number of Bins (20-200): Resolution of volume distribution. Higher values provide more granular analysis but may create noise on lower timeframes.
Zone Percentages:
Zone B: Extreme threshold (default 2.5% = ~2σ statistical significance)
Zone A: Significant threshold (default 14% = ~1σ statistical significance)
Visual Controls: Toggle individual elements (POC, median, mean, zone lines) to customize display complexity for your trading style.
Technical Requirements
Pine Script v6 compatible
Maximum bars back: 5000 (ensures sufficient historical data)
Maximum boxes: 500 (supports high-resolution bin counts)
Maximum lines: 50 (accommodates all zone and reference lines)
This indicator synthesizes volume profile theory with statistical zone analysis, providing a quantitative framework for identifying high-probability support/resistance levels based on volume distribution patterns rather than arbitrary price levels.

T3 Moving Average with Multiple EMAsT3 Moving Average with Multiple EMAs
Short Title: T3 + EMAs
Overview
The T3 Moving Average with Multiple EMAs is a versatile trend-following indicator that combines the smooth, adaptive T3 Moving Average with eight customizable multi-timeframe Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). Designed for traders seeking clarity in trend direction and momentum, this indicator overlays on the price chart to highlight dynamic support/resistance levels and trend alignment across multiple timeframes.
Key Features
T3 Moving Average: A highly responsive, smoothed moving average (default: 9-period, 0.7 volume factor) that reduces lag while maintaining accuracy, ideal for identifying short-term trends and reversals.
Eight Multi-Timeframe EMAs: Plots eight EMAs (default lengths: 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233) sourced from user-defined timeframes (e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h), providing a comprehensive view of short-, medium-, and long-term trends.
Customizable Timeframes: Each EMA can be independently set to a specific timeframe, allowing traders to analyze cross-timeframe trend alignment.
Theme Support: Offers "Dark" and "Light" themes with optimized colors for visual clarity and chart compatibility.
Flexible Parameters: Adjust T3 length, volume factor, EMA lengths, and timeframes to suit various markets and trading styles (scalping, swing trading, or long-term investing).
How It Works
The T3 Moving Average is calculated using a multi-stage EMA formula weighted by a volume factor, offering smoother trend tracking than traditional EMAs. The eight EMAs, sourced from higher or lower timeframes using request.security, provide a layered perspective on price trends. Faster EMAs (e.g., 8, 13) react to short-term price movements, while slower EMAs (e.g., 144, 233) reflect longer-term trends. The indicator plots all lines on the price chart with distinct, theme-adjusted colors for easy identification.
Usage
Trend Identification: Use the T3 MA for short-term trend signals and the EMAs to confirm broader trend direction. A price above multiple EMAs suggests a bullish trend; below indicates bearish.
EMA Crossovers: Watch for crossovers between faster and slower EMAs (e.g., 8 crossing 21) for potential entry/exit signals.
Support/Resistance: Treat slower EMAs (e.g., 89, 144) as dynamic support/resistance levels, especially on higher timeframes.
Timeframe Alignment: Align trades with the trend direction of higher-timeframe EMAs for higher-probability setups.
Customization: Adjust T3 and EMA settings to match your trading style or asset volatility.
Settings
T3 Parameters:
Length (default: 9): Period for T3 calculation.
Volume Factor (default: 0.7): Controls T3 smoothness (0.1–1.0).
EMA Parameters:
Lengths (default: 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233): Period for each EMA.

Murrey Math Lines v6Murrey Math Lines v6
This is not just another Murrey Math indicator. It's a complete, ground-up modernization of the classic concept, rebuilt with the latest Pine Script features for unparalleled performance, accuracy, and usability. While preserving the core mathematical genius of T.H. Murrey's system, this version introduces a suite of modern tools designed for today's trader.
What are Murrey Math Lines?
Murrey Math Lines (MML) are a powerful system of support and resistance based on geometric formulas developed by T.H. Murrey. As a derivation of W.D. Gann's observations, Murrey's geometry simplifies Gann's theories into a more accessible application. The core principle is that price action tends to trend and retrace in 1/8th intervals.
These intervals create a "trading octave" with distinct levels, each having its own characteristic behavior:
& - Ultimate Resistance & Support: These lines are the hardest to break. They represent the top and bottom of the expected price range and are prime areas for reversals.
- Major Pivot: This is the most significant level, offering the strongest support and resistance within the octave. Price has a high probability of stopping and reversing here.
& - Strong Pivot/Reversal: These are strong, secondary pivot points where price often struggles to pass through.
& - The Trading Range: The price tends to consolidate between these two lines about 50% of the time. A decisive break outside this range often signals the start of a new trend.
& - Weak Support/Resistance: These levels are weaker, but when price moves too quickly towards them, they can act as initial stopping points or areas for a minor reversal.
& - Extended Octave: These lines show extreme overbought and oversold conditions beyond the primary 0/8 to 8/8 octave.
Modern Enhancements in This Version
Session-Locked Precision: Anchor the Murrey Lines to the start of a specific trading session (e.g., NYSE open). The levels remain constant for the entire session, providing a stable and reliable framework for your daily analysis.
Visual Trading & Reversal Zones: Instead of just lines, this indicator can fill the key trading range (3/8 to 5/8) and reversal zones (0/8-1/8 & 7/8-8/8) with color, giving you an instant visual reference of market sentiment.
Dynamic "Closest Price" Labels: Declutter your chart! The indicator can intelligently display only the label for the Murrey level closest to the current price, keeping your view clean while providing critical information at a glance.
Integrated Alert System: Never miss a key level touch again. Set up alerts for when the price approaches major lines, the trading range, or all lines, customized to your trading style.
Advanced Pine Script Engine: Built on a modern codebase using User-Defined Types and dynamic drawing objects (line, box, label). This ensures the indicator is fast, efficient, and non-repainting, even on lower timeframes.
Intuitive User Interface: Settings are neatly organized into collapsible groups with clear tooltips, making it incredibly easy to customize every aspect of the indicator, from calculation parameters to colors.
A Note on Accuracy
Some of the other Murrey Math indicators on TradingView use different formulas and therefore produce varying results. This version has been carefully checked against MML indicators on other professional platforms to ensure its calculations are accurate and reliable.

This indicator is a complete overhaul and modernization of the original "MM Lines " script. Full credit for the original calculation logic and concept goes to its author, JRL_6.

Brian Shannon 5-Day MA BackgroundBrian Shannon 5-Day Moving Average with Dynamic Background Fill
OVERVIEW
This indicator implements Brian Shannon's renowned 5-Day Moving Average methodology from his acclaimed work "Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes." The indicator provides instant visual clarity on short-term trend direction and momentum, making it an essential tool for swing traders and active investors.
KEY FEATURES
• True 5-Day Moving Average: Dynamically calculates the correct period across all timeframes (1min, 5min, 15min, 1H, etc.)
• Visual Price-to-MA Relationship: Color-coded fill between price and the moving average
- Green Fill: Price is above the 5-day MA (bullish short-term momentum)
- Red Fill: Price is below the 5-day MA (bearish short-term momentum)
• Multi-Timeframe Compatible: Works seamlessly on any chart timeframe while maintaining the true 5-day calculation
BRIAN SHANNON'S STRATEGIC APPLICATION
Primary Uses:
1. Trend Identification: Quickly identify short-term momentum shifts
2. Dynamic Support/Resistance: The 5-day MA acts as a moving support level in uptrends and resistance in downtrends
3. Entry Signal Confirmation: Look for pullbacks to the 5-day MA as potential entry points in trending stocks
4. Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Essential component of Shannon's multiple timeframe approach
Perfect Combination with:
• AVWAP (Anchored Volume Weighted Average Price): Use together to identify high-probability setups where price is above both the 5-day MA and AVWAP
• Longer-term Moving Averages: Combine with 20-day and 50-day MAs for complete trend analysis
• Volume Analysis: Confirm 5-day MA signals with volume patterns
TRADING APPLICATIONS
For Swing Traders:
• Bullish Setup: Price above 5-day MA + above AVWAP + above longer-term MAs = Strong uptrend
• Bearish Setup: Price below 5-day MA + below AVWAP + below longer-term MAs = Strong downtrend
• Entry Timing: Use pullbacks to the 5-day MA as entry opportunities in the direction of the primary trend
For Day Traders:
• Quick visual confirmation of intraday momentum
• Dynamic support/resistance levels for scalping opportunities
• Clear trend bias for directional trades
WHY THIS INDICATOR WORKS
Brian Shannon's approach emphasizes that the 5-day moving average represents the short-term sentiment of market participants. When price is consistently above this level, it indicates buyers are in control of short-term price action. Conversely, when price falls below, it suggests selling pressure is dominating.
The visual fill makes it immediately obvious:
• How far price is from the 5-day MA
• The strength of the current short-term trend
• Potential areas where price might find support or resistance
BEST PRACTICES
1. Never use in isolation - Always combine with longer timeframe analysis
2. Volume confirmation - Look for volume expansion on moves away from the 5-day MA
3. Multiple timeframe approach - Check higher timeframes for overall trend direction
4. Combine with AVWAP - Most powerful when both indicators align
INSTALLATION NOTES
This indicator automatically adjusts for any timeframe, ensuring you always get a true 5-trading-day moving average regardless of whether you're viewing 1-minute or hourly charts.
Based on the technical analysis methodology of Brian Shannon, author of "Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes"

Enhanced BTC Order Block IndicatorThe script you provided is an "Enhanced BTC Order Block Indicator" written in Pine Script v5 for TradingView. It is designed to identify and visually mark Order Blocks (OBs) on a Bitcoin (BTC) price chart, specifically tailored for a high-frequency scalping strategy on the 5-minute (M5) timeframe. Order Blocks are key price zones where institutional traders are likely to have placed significant buy or sell orders, making them high-probability areas for reversals or continuations. The script incorporates customizable filters, visual indicators, and alert functionality to assist traders in executing the strategy outlined earlier.
Key Features and Functionality
Purpose:
The indicator detects bullish Order Blocks (buy zones) and bearish Order Blocks (sell zones) based on a predefined percentage price movement (default 0.5–1%) and volume confirmation.
It marks these zones on the chart with colored boxes and provides alerts when an OB is detected.
User-Configurable Inputs:
Price Move Range: minMovePercent (default 0.5%) and maxMovePercent (default 1.0%) define the acceptable price movement range for identifying OBs.
Volume Threshold: volumeThreshold (default 1.5x average volume) ensures OB detection is backed by significant trading activity.
Lookback Period: lookback (default 10 candles) determines how many previous candles are analyzed to find the last candle before a strong move.
Wick/Body Option: useWick (default false) allows users to choose whether the OB zone is based on the candle’s wick or body.
Colors: bullishOBColor (default green) and bearishOBColor (default red) set the visual appearance of OB boxes.
Box Extension: boxExtension (default 100 bars) controls how far the OB box extends to the right on the chart.
RSI Filter: useRSI (default true) enables an RSI filter, with rsiLength (default 14), rsiBullishThreshold (default 50), and rsiBearishThreshold (default 50) for trend confirmation.
M15 Support/Resistance: useSR (default true) and srLookback (default 20) integrate M15 timeframe swing highs and lows for additional OB validation.
Core Logic:
Bullish OB Detection: Identifies a strong upward move (0.5–1%) with volume above the threshold. It then looks back to the last bearish candle before the move to define the OB zone. RSI > 50 and proximity to M15 support/resistance (optional) enhance confirmation.
Bearish OB Detection: Identifies a strong downward move (0.5–1%) with volume confirmation, tracing back to the last bullish candle. RSI < 50 and M15 resistance proximity (optional) add validation.
The OB zone is drawn as a rectangle from the high to low of the identified candle, extended rightward.
Visual Output:
Boxes: Uses box.new to draw OB zones, with left set to the previous bar (bar_index ), right extended by boxExtension, top and bottom defined by the OB’s high and low prices. Each box includes a text label ("Bullish OB" or "Bearish OB") and is semi-transparent.
Colors distinguish between bullish (green) and bearish (red) OBs.
Alerts:
Global alertcondition definitions trigger notifications for "Bullish OB Detected" and "Bearish OB Detected" when the respective conditions are met, displaying the current close price in the message.
Helper Functions:
f_priceChangePercent: Calculates the percentage price change between open and close prices.
isNearSR: Checks if the price is within 0.2% of M15 swing highs or lows for support/resistance confluence.
How It Works
The script runs on each candle, evaluating the current price action against the user-defined criteria.
When a bullish or bearish move is detected (meeting the percentage, volume, RSI, and S/R conditions), it identifies the preceding candle to define the OB zone.
The OB is then visualized on the chart, and an alert is triggered if configured in TradingView.
Use Case
This indicator is tailored for your BTC scalping strategy, where trades last 1–15 minutes targeting 0.3–0.5% gains. It helps traders spot institutional order zones on the M5 chart, confirmed by secondary M1 analysis, and integrates with your use of EMAs, RSI, and volume. The customizable settings allow adaptation to varying market conditions or personal preferences.
Limitations
The M15 S/R detection is simplified (using swing highs/lows), which may not always align perfectly with manual support/resistance levels.
Alerts depend on TradingView’s alert system and require manual setup.
Performance may vary with high volatility or low-volume periods, necessitating parameter adjustments.
Ehlers Ultimate Bands (UBANDS)UBANDS: ULTIMATE BANDS
🔍 OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE
Ultimate Bands, developed by John F. Ehlers, are a volatility-based channel indicator designed to provide a responsive and smooth representation of price boundaries with significantly reduced lag compared to traditional Bollinger Bands. Bollinger Bands typically use a Simple Moving Average for the centerline and standard deviations from it to establish the bands, both of which can increase lag. Ultimate Bands address this by employing Ehlers' Ultrasmooth Filter for the central moving average. The bands are then plotted based on the volatility of price around this ultrasmooth centerline.
The primary purpose of Ultimate Bands is to offer traders a clearer view of potential support and resistance levels that react quickly to price changes while filtering out excessive noise, aiming for nearly zero lag in the indicator band.
🧩 CORE CONCEPTS
Ultrasmooth Centerline: Employs the Ehlers Ultrasmooth Filter as the basis (centerline) for the bands, aiming for minimal lag and enhanced smoothing.
Volatility-Adaptive Width: The distance between the upper and lower bands is determined by a measure of price deviation from the ultrasmooth centerline. This causes the bands to widen during volatile periods and contract during calm periods.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: The bands serve as dynamic levels of potential support (lower band) and resistance (upper band).
🧮 CALCULATION AND MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Ehlers' Original Concept for Deviation:
John Ehlers describes the deviation calculation as: "The deviation at each data sample is the difference between Smooth and the Close at that data point. The Standard Deviation (SD) is computed as the square root of the average of the squares of the individual deviations."
This describes calculating the Root Mean Square (RMS) of the residuals:
Smooth = UltrasmoothFilter(Source, Length)
Residuals = Source - Smooth
SumOfSquaredResiduals = Sum(Residuals ^2) for i over Length
MeanOfSquaredResiduals = SumOfSquaredResiduals / Length
SD_Ehlers = SquareRoot(MeanOfSquaredResiduals) (This is the RMS of residuals)
Pine Script Implementation's Deviation:
The provided Pine Script implementation calculates the statistical standard deviation of the residuals:
Smooth = UltrasmoothFilter(Source, Length) (referred to as _ehusf in the script)
Residuals = Source - Smooth
Mean_Residuals = Average(Residuals, Length)
Variance_Residuals = Average((Residuals - Mean_Residuals)^2, Length)
SD_Pine = SquareRoot(Variance_Residuals) (This is the statistical standard deviation of residuals)
Band Calculation (Common to both approaches, using their respective SD):
UpperBand = Smooth + (NumSDs × SD)
LowerBand = Smooth - (NumSDs × SD)
🔍 Technical Note: The Pine Script implementation uses a statistical standard deviation of the residuals (differences between price and the smooth average). Ehlers' original text implies an RMS of these residuals. While both measure dispersion, they will yield slightly different values. The Ultrasmooth Filter itself is a key component, designed for responsiveness.
📈 INTERPRETATION DETAILS
Reduced Lag: The primary advantage is the significant reduction in lag compared to standard Bollinger Bands, allowing for quicker reaction to price changes.
Volatility Indication: Widening bands indicate increasing market volatility, while narrowing bands suggest decreasing volatility.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions (Use with caution):
• Price touching or exceeding the Upper Band may suggest overbought conditions.
• Price touching or falling below the Lower Band may suggest oversold conditions.
Trend Identification:
• Price consistently "walking the band" (moving along the upper or lower band) can indicate a strong trend.
• The Middle Band (Ultrasmooth Filter) acts as a dynamic support/resistance level and indicates the short-term trend direction.
Comparison to Ultimate Channel: Ehlers notes that the Ultimate Band indicator does not differ from the Ultimate Channel indicator in any major fashion.
🛠️ USE AND APPLICATION
Ultimate Bands can be used similarly to how Keltner Channels or Bollinger Bands are used for interpreting price action, with the main difference being the reduced lag.
Example Trading Strategy (from John F. Ehlers):
Hold a position in the direction of the Ultimate Smoother (the centerline).
Exit that position when the price "pops" outside the channel or band in the opposite direction of the trade.
This is described as a trend-following strategy with an automatic following stop.
⚠️ LIMITATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
Lag (Minimized but Present): While significantly reduced, some minimal lag inherent to averaging processes will still exist. Increasing the Length parameter for smoother bands will moderately increase this lag.
Parameter Sensitivity: The Length and StdDev Multiplier settings are key to tuning the indicator for different assets and timeframes.
False Signals: As with any band indicator, false signals can occur, particularly in choppy or non-trending markets.
Not a Standalone System: Best used in conjunction with other forms of analysis for confirmation.
Deviation Calculation Nuance: Be aware of the difference in deviation calculation (statistical standard deviation vs. RMS of residuals) if comparing directly to Ehlers' original concept as described.
