AG Moving Averages w/ BandsThis is an indicator that we built from a few simple ideas: display more than one Moving Average, display the Moving Average "Band" (more below) for each Moving Average, and allowing toggle between SMA/EMA - all in the one indicator.
The Moving Average "Band" is creating using Moving Averages (SMA/EMA) with High and Low as sources. The combination of the MA(Close), MA(High), MA(Low), creates a "Band" for each MA length - which we have found to be very helpful in our Moving Average studies.
The example in the chart above is EURUSD with 20SMA (with Bands), 55EMA (without Bands), 200EMA (with Bands). As you can see, the Bands do a better job than MAs alone for capturing price movement and acting as larger dynamic Support/Resistance zones.
Everything in this indicator is fully customizable, from which MAs to show, to those MA lengths, whether to use SMA/EMA for each individual MA, and whether to display the MA "Band" for each individual MA.
We hope you find it as useful as we have!

LTHB & HTLB Zones with AlertsIn price action trading, the Lowest Tick of the Highest Bar (LTHB) and the Highest Tick of the Lowest Bar (HTLB) are important concepts for support/resistance identification, trend exhaustion, and reversal confirmation. Here's what they mean and why they matter:
🔹 Definitions
1. Lowest Tick of the Highest Bar (LTHB):
The lowest price (tick) of the bar (candlestick) with the highest high in a recent price swing.
Significance: It marks the support inside an upward swing. If price breaks below this, it often indicates loss of upward momentum or reversal.
2. Highest Tick of the Lowest Bar (HTLB):
The highest price of the bar with the lowest low in a swing.
Significance: It acts as a resistance inside a downward swing. If price moves above this, it can signal a bullish reversal.
🔸 Why Are They Significant?
Concept LTHB HTLB
Trend Reversal - Break below LTHB → possible bearish reversal Break above HTLB → possible bullish reversal
Swing Confirmation -Holding above LTHB → continuation of uptrend Holding below HTLB → continuation of downtrend
Trap Detection - Stop hunts often occur just below LTHB Stop hunts often occur just above HTLB
Risk Management -Acts as logical stop-loss in long trades Acts as logical stop-loss in short trades
🔸 Uses in Strategy
1. Breakout Traders use these levels as entry triggers.
2. Reversal Traders look for price failing to hold these levels for early reversal signs.
3. Structure-Based Traders use them to confirm higher highs/lower lows.
4. Stop Placement: Tight stops just beyond LTHB/HTLB help manage risk in swing trades.
🔔 How to Set Alerts in TradingView:
Add the script to your chart.
Open the "⚠️ Alerts" tab.
Click "Create Alert".
In the "Condition" dropdown, select one of:
Enter LTHB Zone
Exit LTHB Zone

✳️ Useful for:
Visualizing break-even zones
Planning P&L zones for hedged positions
Quickly aligning your trades with market structure
✅ Clean version — no labels, just lines.
📉 Works on all symbols and timeframes.
Dynamic Support & Resistance ZonesThis indicator dynamically detects and plots support and resistance levels by analyzing recent price pivots. It works as follows:
Inputs:
Set the number of bars to look back, pivot strength (left/right), minimum touches for a major level, and a tolerance percentage that is converted to decimal.
Note:
• Pivot Left is the number of bars before the candidate bar that must be lower (for a swing high) or higher (for a swing low) than the candidate. It ensures the candidate is higher (or lower) than recent previous bars.
• Pivot Right is the number of bars after the candidate bar that are also required to be lower (for a swing high) or higher (for a swing low) than the candidate. This parameter is crucial because it verifies that the candidate bar wasn’t just a temporary spike—price needs to remain below (or above) the candidate for a number of subsequent bars.
Suggested default settings for a daily chart: Bars to Look Back: 60; Pivot Left: 2; Pivot Right: 2; Min Touches for Major Level: 2; Tolerance (%): 1
Pivot Detection:
It uses built-in pivot functions to identify swing highs (potential resistance) and swing lows (potential support) based on a user-defined lookback window and pivot strength.
Clustering:
Detected levels that are close (within a set tolerance) are grouped into clusters. Each cluster averages the levels and counts the number of touches. This helps determine if a zone is repeatedly tested.
Visual Display:
It plots horizontal lines on the chart:
Red lines indicate “major” zones that have been tested a number of times (as defined by the user).
Blue lines represent secondary levels that have been touched less often.
Dynamic Cleanup:
Clusters outside the user-defined lookback period are removed so that only recent, relevant levels remain visible.
In short, the indicator creates a dynamic, visually updated map of key support and resistance zones based on recent price action and pivot behavior.

Deep Crab Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Reversal Zones🔵 Introduction
The Deep Crab pattern is a 5-point extension harmonic structure (X-A-B-C-D) used in technical analysis to identify potential reversal points in financial markets. Like the original Crab pattern, it heavily relies on a 1.618 XA projection to form the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ).
However, the key difference lies in the B point, which must be an 0.886 retracement of the XA leg. The D point in this pattern typically extends beyond the X point, signaling a strong potential reversal in price movement.
Bullish Deep Crab :
The Bullish Deep Crab is a pattern used in technical analysis to spot potential trend reversals. It signals a shift from a downtrend to an uptrend. Traders enter a buy position at the D point and set a stop-loss below point X, anticipating a price increase.
Bearish Deep Crab :
The Bearish Deep Crab is a reversal pattern that indicates the potential end of an uptrend. Traders enter a sell position at point D and set a stop-loss above point X, expecting the price to fall afterward.
🟣 Crab Vs Deep Crab
The Crab and Deep Crab patterns are both used to identify reversal points in technical analysis, but they differ in terms of correction depth :
Crab : The B point retraces between 38.2% to 61.8% of the XA leg, and point D extends beyond X, indicating a price reversal after a smaller correction.
Deep Crab : The B point retraces more deeply, around 88.6% of the XA leg, and point D has a stronger extension, signaling a reversal after a deeper correction.
The Deep Crab is more suited for identifying stronger price movements.
🔵 How to Use
To effectively use the Deep Crab pattern, it’s essential to correctly identify its five key points (X, A, B, C, and D) based on Fibonacci retracements and extensions. Traders look for a deep retracement at point B, followed by an extended move to point D, which typically signals a strong price reversal.
Once these points are established, traders can strategically enter positions at point D with appropriate stop-loss and take-profit levels, capitalizing on the anticipated market reversal. Proper use of Fibonacci tools is crucial for accurate pattern identification.
🟣 Bullish Deep Crab
To use the Bullish Deep Crab pattern, a trader identifies point D as the key price reversal point in a downtrend. Using Fibonacci tools, points X, A, B, and C are identified, with point B showing an 88.6% retracement of XA, and CD extending 1.618% of XA.
The trader enters a buy position at point D and sets a stop-loss below X, expecting a reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend.
🟣 Bearish Deep Crab
In the Bearish Deep Crab pattern, point D acts as the reversal point in an uptrend. After identifying points X, A, B, and C, D extends 1.618% of XA. Point B retraces 88.6% of XA. Traders enter a sell position at point D and place a stop-loss above X, anticipating a drop in price.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Logical Setting
ZigZag Pivot Period : You can adjust the period so that the harmonic patterns are adjusted according to the pivot period you want. This factor is the most important parameter in pattern recognition.
Show Valid Forma t: If this parameter is on "On" mode, only patterns will be displayed that they have exact format and no noise can be seen in them. If "Off" is, the patterns displayed that maybe are noisy and do not exactly correspond to the original pattern.
Show Formation Last Pivot Confirm : if Turned on, you can see this ability of patterns when their last pivot is formed. If this feature is off, it will see the patterns as soon as they are formed. The advantage of this option being clear is less formation of fielded patterns, and it is accompanied by the latest pattern seeing and a sharp reduction in reward to risk.
Period of Formation Last Pivot : Using this parameter you can determine that the last pivot is based on Pivot period.
🟣 Genaral Setting
Show : Enter "On" to display the template and "Off" to not display the template.
Color : Enter the desired color to draw the pattern in this parameter.
LineWidth : You can enter the number 1 or numbers higher than one to adjust the thickness of the drawing lines. This number must be an integer and increases with increasing thickness.
LabelSize : You can adjust the size of the labels by using the "size.auto", "size.tiny", "size.smal", "size.normal", "size.large" or "size.huge" entries.
🟣 Alert Setting
Alert : On / Off
Message Frequency : This string parameter defines the announcement frequency. Choices include: "All" (activates the alert every time the function is called), "Once Per Bar" (activates the alert only on the first call within the bar), and "Once Per Bar Close" (the alert is activated only by a call at the last script execution of the real-time bar upon closing). The default setting is "Once per Bar".
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : The date, hour, and minute you receive in alert messages can be based on any time zone you choose. For example, if you want New York time, you should enter "UTC-4". This input is set to the time zone "UTC" by default.
🔵 Conclusion
The Deep Crab pattern is a valuable reversal tool in technical analysis, known for its deep retracement and extended price movements.
Unlike other harmonic patterns, it emphasizes identifying critical points where price action is likely to reverse sharply. This pattern works well in both bullish and bearish market scenarios, offering clear signals for entry and exit points.
However, successful application requires a deep understanding of market behavior and precise use of technical tools like Fibonacci retracement. Overall, mastering this pattern can enhance trading strategies and risk management.
Holding Zone Input Parameters
The script has three input parameters:
· length: an integer input with a default value of 20, likely used for calculating moving averages or other indicators.
· zoneSize: a decimal input with a default value of 1.5, likely used to define the size of the "holding zone".
· entryZone: an integer input with a default value of 50, likely used to define the entry point for the strategy.
Calculate Holding Zone
The script calculates two values:
· highs: the highest high over the last length bars.
· lows: the lowest low over the last length bars.
Then, it calculates the zoneHigh and zoneLow values by subtracting/adding a fraction of the difference between highs and lows from/to highs and lows, respectively. This creates a "holding zone" between zoneHigh and zoneLow.
Plot Holding Zone
Finally, the script plots two lines:
· zoneHigh with a blue color and a linewidth of 2.
· zoneLow with a blue color and a linewidth of 2.
________________________________________________________________
For the 15 min timeframe I use the parameters 10 for the length, 0.5 for the zone size and 20 for the entry zone. this makes it more sensitive to price
Moon Zone by AshThis script is designed to highlight monthly zones on a TradingView chart. Each month is assigned a different color for easy identification. The chosen colors have high contrast, making them suitable for a white background. The transparency of the monthly zones is set to 90 to provide a softer effect on the chart. You can save and add this script to your TradingView chart to visualize the highlighted monthly zones with distinct colors. If there are preferences to adjust the colors, you can edit the color values in the script according to your liking.
Typical Price Difference - TPD © with reversal zones and signalsv1.0 NOTE: The maths have been tested only for BTC and weekly time frame.
This is a concept that I came through after long long hours of VWAP trading and scalping.
The idea is pretty simple:
1) Typical Price is calculated by (h+l+c) / 3. If we take this price and adjust it to volume we get the VWAP value. The difference between this value and the close value, i call it " Typical Price Difference - TPD ".
2) We get the Historical Volatility as calculated by TradingView script and we add it up to TPD and divide it by two (average). This is what I call " The Source - TS ".
3) We apply the CCI formula to TS .
4) We calculate the Rate of Change (roc) of the CCI formula.
5) We apply the VIX FIX of Larry Williams (script used is from ChrisMoody - CM_Williams_Vix_Fix Finds Market Bottoms) *brilliant script!!!
How to use it:
a) When the (3) is over the TPD we have a bullish bias (green area). When it's under we have a bearish bias (red area).
b) If the (1) value goes over or under a certain value (CAUTION!!! it varies in different assets or timeframes) we get a Reversal Zone (RZ). Red/Green background.
c) If we are in a RZ and the VIX FIX gives a strong value (look for green bars in histogram) and roc (4) goes in the opposite direction, we get a reversal signal that works for the next week(s).
I applied this to BTC on a weekly time frame and after some corrections, it gives pretty good reversal zones and signals. Especially bottoms. Also look for divergences in the zones/signals.
As I said I have tested and confirmed it only on BTC/weekly. I need more time with the maths and pine to automatically adjust it to other time frames. You can play with it in different assets or time frames to find best settings by hand.
Feel free to share your thoughts or ideas on this.
P.S. I realy realy realy try to remember when or how or why I came up with the idea to combine typical price with historical volatility and CCI. I can't! It doesn't make any sense LOL
GKD-C Smoothed Price Zone Oscillator w/ Floating Levels [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Smoothed Price Zone Oscillator w/ Floating Levels is a Confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?
The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.
What is the NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX (No-Nonsense Forex) trading system is a comprehensive approach to Forex trading that is designed to simplify the process and remove the confusion and complexity that often surrounds trading. The system was developed by a Forex trader who goes by the pseudonym "VP" and has gained a significant following in the Forex community.
The NNFX trading system is based on a set of rules and guidelines that help traders make objective and informed decisions. These rules cover all aspects of trading, including market analysis, trade entry, stop loss placement, and trade management.
Here are the main components of the NNFX trading system:
1. Trading Philosophy: The NNFX trading system is based on the idea that successful trading requires a comprehensive understanding of the market, objective analysis, and strict risk management. The system aims to remove subjective elements from trading and focuses on objective rules and guidelines.
2. Technical Analysis: The NNFX trading system relies heavily on technical analysis and uses a range of indicators to identify high-probability trading opportunities. The system uses a combination of trend-following and mean-reverting strategies to identify trades.
3. Market Structure: The NNFX trading system emphasizes the importance of understanding the market structure, including price action, support and resistance levels, and market cycles. The system uses a range of tools to identify the market structure, including trend lines, channels, and moving averages.
4. Trade Entry: The NNFX trading system has strict rules for trade entry. The system uses a combination of technical indicators to identify high-probability trades, and traders must meet specific criteria to enter a trade.
5. Stop Loss Placement: The NNFX trading system places a significant emphasis on risk management and requires traders to place a stop loss order on every trade. The system uses a combination of technical analysis and market structure to determine the appropriate stop loss level.
6. Trade Management: The NNFX trading system has specific rules for managing open trades. The system aims to minimize risk and maximize profit by using a combination of trailing stops, take profit levels, and position sizing.
Overall, the NNFX trading system is designed to be a straightforward and easy-to-follow approach to Forex trading that can be applied by traders of all skill levels.
Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the Stochastic Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Smoothed Price Zone Oscillator w/ Floating Levels as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

█ GKD-C Smoothed Price Zone Oscillator w/ Floating Levels
What is Price Zone Oscillator?
The Price Zone Oscillator (PZO) is a technical indicator that measures the difference between the closing price of a security and a specified price zone. The PZO is based on the concept that the price of a security tends to gravitate toward a specific price level over time.
The PZO is calculated by taking the difference between the sum of the closing price of a security over a specified period (usually 12 or 26 days) and the sum of the price zone (usually the 10-day simple moving average) over the same period. This difference is then divided by the sum of the price zone over the same period.
Mathematically, the formula for the PZO is:
PZO = ((Sum of Closing Price - Sum of Price Zone)/Sum of Price Zone) x 100
The PZO is typically displayed as a histogram, with positive values indicating bullish momentum and negative values indicating bearish momentum. The PZO can also be used to identify divergences between the price of a security and the oscillator itself, which can provide traders with potential trading opportunities.
Overall, the Price Zone Oscillator is a useful technical indicator for traders and investors who are interested in tracking the momentum of a security over time and identifying potential trading opportunities.
What is Smoothed Price Zone Oscillator w/ Floating Levels
This indicator is a smoothed version of PZO with floating levels for the signal generation. Typically, PZO signal changes and slope are very sharp. By smoothing the PZO and using floating for signal generation, we end up with a smoother PZO without the messy noise.

New York ZonesHello traders, here is a indicator which is based on a strategy I found on a forum. I hope you will find it useful.
Rules to Follow:
1) Wait for signal . Signal appears at 9:30. (New York time)
2) Wait for price to mitigate the zone
3) Sell anywhere in this range after or during zone mitigation.
4) Keep stop Wide to avoid getting stopped out.
5) Target the previous liquidity with minimum 3RR.
6) Look for opposite trade if zone fails to hold , with proper analysis
Note :
1) This Indicator is made specifically for US30 and US100 (Indices) but can be used with other pairs as well (need back testing)
2) I would not recommend to place the trade right away as soon as signal appears , wait for liquidity to be taken out and place a trade after confirmation.
3) Trades can be placed below the zone as well but the probability of entry may decrease ,while increasing the accuracy.
4) Use timeframe <= 5 min to take entries.
Trade scenarios
Perfect trade :
Price failed to hold, you got stopped out and market changes direction :
Price respect zone in future:
NhaDuHanhFX - Congestion Zone (Complete & Incomplete)
When the market is trending, the momentum is strong, the price often moves quickly in one direction. In the higher time frame, we see that the closing price of the candlestick is often far away from the previous candlesticks.
When the market is sideways, the momentum is weak, and prices often move slowly around an area. In the higher time frame, we see that the closing price of the candlestick is usually within the range of the previous candlesticks.
The Congestion Zone is a price action indicator that marks out such a sideways market area. It has many patterns: Complete and incomplete patterns.
- Complete Congestion Zone (Default): It includes at least 3 candlesticks that the next candlestick has a closing price within the previous candlestick range. Then, if a candlestick closes outside the range of the previous candlestick, it is a sign that the market has most likely ended the sideway, moving into a trending state.
- Incomplete Congestion Zone (Settings Option): It is more complex Congestion patterns. It also marks out sideways of the market. However, during the congestion formation, the price tried to break out of the zone with a candlestick closing outside the previous candlestick , right after that the price turns back and continues to congest.
In addition to using the Congestion Zone to predict if the market is likely to have moved from sideways to trending. The Congestion Zone is also used as a Support & Resistance area. When the price goes away and returns to the Congestion Zone, it will likely reverse.
Pay attention to the price area that previously appeared a lot of congestion zone. It is more likely to reverse.
Impactful pattern and candles pattern AlertThe Alertion indicator!
impactful pattern:
pattern that happen near the zone or in the zone at lower timeframe and give us entry and stop limit price.
It is helpful for price action traders and those who want to decrease their risk.
There are 3 IP patterns:
Quasimodo
Head and shoulder
whipsaw engulfing
These patterns may occur near the zone or may not occur but by them, you can decrease your trading risk for example you can
trade with half lot before IP pattern and enter with other half after pattern.
how to use?
for example:
you find zone at 1h timeframe for short position
when price enter to your zone
you run this indicator and choose your lower timeframe, for example 15m and click on short position.
Then make the alert by right-click on your chart and choose the add alert and at condition box choose the impactful pattern and then click on create
now wait for message :)
Candles pattern:
like reversal bar, key reversal bar, exhaustion bar, pin bar, two-bar reversal, tree-bar reversal, inside bar, outside bar
these occur when the trend turn, so it is usable when the price enter to your zone or near your zone.
This pattern can decrease your risk.
Inside bar and outside bar:
if this pattern engulf up, it is bullish pattern and if engulf down, it is bearish pattern.
what does this indicator do?
this indicator is for making alert
it helps you to decrease your risk and failure.
You optimize it to alert you when IP pattern happen or candle pattern happen or inside bar or outside bar engulfing or all of them.
For IP pattern, it will message you entry and stop limit price.
It works at 2 different timeframes, so you can make alert for example in 1h TF for candles pattern and 15m TF for IP pattern.
Indicator will alert you for candles pattern at your chart timeframe and for IP pattern at timeframe you've chosen when you run the indicator, and it is changeable
in setting.
setting options
TIMEFRAME
IP: select the timeframe for IP patterns it means when IP pattern happen at that timeframe the indicator will alert you
example = your TF is 1h, you found the supply zone and want to trade, note that IP pattern happen in lower TF, so you select 15m TF or TF lower than 1h.
Short position: select it if you want to make short position.
BUFFERING
indicator send you entry and stop limit price
you can change it by amount of percent
it is your strategy to change your entry and stop loss or not
example= in head and shoulder pattern at short position, the stop limit is high price of head in pattern
so the indicator will message you the exact price but if you want to put
your stop limit 5 percent upper than exact price you can enter 5 in front of stop loss
or you want to enter 5 percent lower than exact high price of shoulder, you can optimize it.
ALERTION
you choose what alert you want
IP alert or candle alert or inside and outside bar alert
type your text for alert
you can write additional text for your message
ADVANCE
IP alert frequency option:
1. Once per bar : indicator will alert you for IP pattern once at your chat timeframe bar, and you should wait til next bar for next alert.
2. Once per bar close : alert you when your chart timeframe bar closed and next alert will happen when next bar is closed.
3. All: alert you all the times IP pattern happen
pivot left and right bars: lower will find smaller pattern
at the END:
this indicator is not strategy
it is part of your strategy that help you to increase your winning rate.
It is helpful for scalping and candle patterns finding.
After you make an alert, you can delete the indicator or change your timeframe or make another alert, your previous alert won’t change.
Thank you all.

Multiple MAs + No Trend Zone + ATR WidgetThis is my first Pine Script attempt. Nothing special, just an "all in one" for the most common things I use, and what I have found to be the most common in a lot of strategies.
Great for free and limited accounts as it combines 7 total indicators into one.
-- First 5 indicators are Independant Moving Averages:
-Each one can be set for length, as well as source and type (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA) individually
-- Second type (6th) of indicator is one I find extremly useful for staying OUT of consolidation trading. It's called a "No Trend Zone" indicator I swipped from the Hoffman Startegy. Basically, its set for a small deviation (0.5) of a 35 EMA, which creates a "Band" around the 35 line. When you have this "Band" flat or with no discernable incline/decline, with price action OR some or multiple moving averages inside this banded zone, it typically indicates a zone of consolidation. This will help you identify when you may be in one of those zones, that way you don't get trapped "waiting for paint to dry" before the market starts to move again with your position, and keep you from entering should you be considering the market at that time.
The last indicator is my favorite, and one I will refine a little deeper soon.
-- The ATR widget finishes us out. This widget can be customized for colors, turned on or off, and automatically rounds the ATR (ATR period based on the chart timeframe) to a nice readable number for what you're trading. It has settings to show or not, the length, what rounding style to use (forex pip 0.0001, forex/stock/etf/indicies 0.01) where to show it on the pane, a Multiplier Factor (for stop loss calculations automatically) and the colors.
***NOTE ABOUT ATR WIDGET:
I am primarily a forex trader, so the defaults are for Forex 0.0001. If you see some odd numbers (like 55798 on a current chart), check the inputs tab on the settings, and change the "ATR Style" from "Forex 0.0001" to "Forex/Stock/ETF/Indicies 0.01", and you should arrive with the correct number.
Supply, Demand and Equilibrium Zones, Interactive by DGTSupply, Demand and Equilibrium Zones, Interactive
The law of supply and demand is a theory that explains the interaction between the sellers of an asset and the buyers for that asset. The theory defines the relationship between the price of a given asset and the willingness of traders to either buy or sell it. Generally, as price increases, traders are willing to supply more and demand less and vice versa when the price falls.
Simply said, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded, and from the seller's perspective, the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied
Equilibrium zones are the price levels where both selling and buying trading activity is high, both sellers and buyres are interested at that price levels. More correctly, there is a great deal of activity on both the buy and sell side and the market stays at that price level for a great deal of time. Supply and demand are balanced or in equilibrium
Supply and Demand Shifts may occur when institutional investors step in, a change in both price and quantity demanded from one point to another
This experimental study attempts to presend Supply, Demand and Equilibrium Zones by measuring traded volume at all price levels on the market over a specified time period. Then the result is plotted as horizontal zones on the finacial isntrumnet's chart that highlights supply, demand and equilibrium zones at specific price levels
It is important for supply, demand and equilibrium zones to understand that time is always a dimension on charts. The quantity demanded or supplied, found along the horizontal axis, is always measured in traded volume of the asset over a given time interval. Longer or shorter time intervals can influence the levels of supply, demand and equilibrium zones
The study is made interactive, which requires the users to select two points on the chart, by simply clicking on the chart. In case the user would like to view different range then just dragging the vertical lines will be enough
By increasing/decreasing values for supply and demand zones or equilibrium zones, you will either get the zones enlarged or detect supply and demand shifts or other equilibrium zones
It is adviced to use this study in conjuction with a Volume Profile study, such as Volume-Profile-and-Volume-Indicator , Volume-Profile-Custom-Range , Anchored-Volume-Profile , and Price-Action-Support-Resistance , where volume profiles presents trading activities at specific price levels and Supply and Demand Zones can be treated as Value Area (they are not exact same but similar) for Volume Profiles
