TREV Candles - Range-Based Trend ReversalTREV Candles - Range-Based Trend Reversal Chart Implementation
What is a Trend Reversal (TREV) Chart?
A Trend Reversal chart, also known as a Point & Figure chart variation, is a unique charting method that focuses on price movement thresholds rather than time intervals. Unlike traditional candlestick charts where each candle represents a fixed time period, TREV candles form only when price moves by predefined amounts in ticks.
TREV charts eliminate time-based noise and focus purely on significant price movements, making them ideal for identifying genuine trend changes and continuation patterns.
How TREV Candles Work
This indicator implements true TREV logic with two critical thresholds:
Trend Size: The number of ticks price must move in the current direction to form a trend continuation candle
Reversal Size: The number of ticks price must move against the current direction to form a reversal candle and change the overall trend direction
Key TREV Rules Enforced:
Direction Changes Only Through Reversals: You cannot go from bullish trend directly to bearish trend - a reversal candle must occur first
Threshold-Based Formation: Candles form only when price thresholds are breached, not on time
Logical Wick Placement: Wicks only appear on the "open" side of candles where price temporarily moved against the formation direction
Multiple Candles Per Bar: When price moves significantly, several TREV candles can form within a single time-based bar
Four Distinct Candle Types
Bullish Trend (Green): Continues upward movement when trend threshold is hit
Bearish Trend (Red): Continues downward movement when trend threshold is hit
Bullish Reversal (Blue): Changes from bearish to bullish direction when reversal threshold is breached
Bearish Reversal (Orange): Changes from bullish to bearish direction when reversal threshold is breached
Practical Trading Applications
Trend Identification: Clear visual representation of when trends are continuing vs. reversing
Noise Reduction: Filters out insignificant price movements that don't meet threshold requirements
Support/Resistance: TREV levels often act as significant support and resistance zones
Breakout Confirmation: When price forms multiple trend candles in succession, it confirms strong directional movement
Reversal Signals: Reversal candles provide early warning of potential trend changes
Technical Implementation Features
Intelligent Price Path Processing: Analyzes the assumed price path within each bar (Low→High→Close for bullish bars, High→Low→Close for bearish bars)
Automatic Tick Size Detection: Works with any instrument by automatically detecting the correct tick size
Manual Override Option: Allows manual tick size specification for custom analysis
Impossible Scenario Prevention: Built-in logic prevents impossible wick configurations and direction changes
PineScript Optimization: Efficient state management and drawing limits handling for smooth performance
Comprehensive Styling Options
Each of the four candle types offers complete visual customization:
Body Colors: Independent color settings for each candle type's body
Border Colors: Separate border color customization
Border Styles: Choose from solid, dashed, or dotted borders
Wick Colors: Individual wick color settings for each candle type
Default Color Scheme:
🟢 Bullish Trend: Green body and wicks
🔵 Bullish Reversal: Blue body and wicks
🔴 Bearish Trend: Red body and wicks
🟠 Bearish Reversal: Orange body and wicks
Configuration Guidelines
Trend Size: Larger values create fewer, more significant trend candles. Smaller values increase sensitivity
Reversal Size: Should typically be smaller than trend size. Controls how easily the trend direction can change
Tick Size: Use "auto" for most instruments. Manual override useful for custom point values or backtesting
Ideal Use Cases
Swing Trading: Identify major trend changes and continuation patterns
Scalping: Use smaller thresholds to catch quick reversals and momentum shifts
Position Trading: Use larger thresholds to filter noise and focus on major trend moves
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Compare TREV patterns across different threshold settings
Support/Resistance Trading: TREV close levels often become significant price zones
Why This Implementation is Superior
True TREV Logic: Enforces proper trend reversal rules that many implementations ignore
No Impossible Scenarios: Prevents wicks on both sides of candles and impossible direction changes
Professional Visualization: Clean, customizable appearance suitable for serious analysis
Performance Optimized: Handles large datasets without lag or drawing limit issues
Educational Value: Helps traders understand the difference between time-based and threshold-based charting
Perfect for traders who want to see beyond time-based noise and focus on what price is actually doing - moving in significant, measurable amounts that matter for trading decisions.

Trimmed ATR🧠 **Brief Description**:
Trimmed ATR is a modified volatility indicator that removes extreme values from the ATR calculation. This makes it more reliable for analyzing market conditions and filters out "noise" spikes. It is particularly useful for setting stop-losses and in strategies sensitive to false volatility.
🧾 **How Does Trimmed ATR Work?**
📌 For each bar:
- True Range (TR) is calculated.
- A sliding window of the last N TR values (where N = length) is stored.
- The TR list is sorted, and trimPercent % is cut off from each side:
- The smallest and largest values are removed.
- The remaining values are averaged → Trimmed ATR.
🔍 **Why Is This Important?**
Regular ATR can be distorted by outliers:
- A single spike can sharply inflate the ATR.
- This creates a false impression of market volatility.
🎯 Trimmed ATR solves this by eliminating the impact of anomalies, providing a more stable and accurate volatility measure.
📈 **What Does It Mean If Trimmed ATR Is Higher or Lower Than Regular ATR?**
🔵 **Trimmed ATR is lower than ATR** — this is normal:
- There are isolated TR spikes (high volatility on 1–2 bars).
- ATR increases, including these outliers.
- Trimmed ATR discards them → reflects the true average market background.
🧠 This is the most common case, indicating: a spike occurred, but the market is generally calm.
🟠 **Trimmed ATR is higher than ATR** — a rare but important signal:
- There were artificially low TR values (very small movements).
- ATR becomes too low.
- Trimmed ATR discards these "quiet" periods → provides a more realistic volatility estimate.
⚠️ This may indicate:
- Hidden pressure.
- Preparation for a breakout from a tight range.
- Underestimated volatility.
💡 **Applications**:
- **Trailing Stop**: Trimmed ATR helps avoid stop triggers due to noise.
- **Trend Filter**: Better reflects the "true" market dynamics.
- **Strategy Backtesting**: Eliminates distortions in volatility calculations.
Max Drawdown (Asset-Based Lookback)Max Drawdown (Long-Term Trading)
🟦 Majors BTC, ETH, BNB, LTC 180 – 365
Captures full correction cycles and recovery patterns (6–12 months).
🟩 Altcoins SOL, ADA, DOT, LINK, AVAX 90 – 180
Alts move faster than majors; 3–6 months catches most large swings.
🟥 Meme coins DOGE, SHIB, PEPE, FLOKI 60 – 120
Volatile with quick trend reversals; 2–4 months captures parabolic runs + drawdowns.
📅 Chart Timeframe:
Use Daily (1D) timeframe for all these.
For extra macro insight, try Weekly (1W) with 52 bars (≈ 1 year).
Compare multiple assets using the same period to assess relative risk.
If you're building a long-term portfolio, combine this with:
200-day SMA or EMA for trend context.
Sharpe Ratio or Sortino Ratio if you're looking for risk-adjusted return metrics.

ATR Trailing Stop with ATR Targets [v6]What the Indicator Does
This custom TradingView indicator is designed for active traders who want to automate and visualize their trailing stop management and target setting, using true market volatility. It combines the Average True Range (ATR) with dynamic market structure logic to:
Trail a stop-loss behind major swings in real time, using 2×ATR (adjustable) from the highest high in uptrends or the lowest low in downtrends.
Flip trading bias between bullish and bearish when the stop is breached.
Identify and plot three profit targets (at 1, 2, and 3 ATR from the breakout/flip point) after every stop-flip, helping traders scale out or set take-profits objectively.
Maintain a visible presence on your chart every bar to avoid indicator errors, with color and labeling for clear distinction between long/short phases.
How the Indicator Works
1. ATR Calculation
ATR Period and Multiplier: You select your preferred ATR length (default is 14 bars) and a multiplier (default is 2.0).
Volatility Adjustment: ATR measures the average "true" bar range, so the trailing stop and targets adapt to current volatility.
2. Trailing Stop Logic
Uptrend (bullish bias): The indicator tracks the highest high made since the last bearish-to-bullish flip and sets the stop at - .
The stop only raises (never lowers) during an uptrend, protecting gains in strong moves.
Downtrend (bearish bias): Tracks the lowest low made since the last bullish-to-bearish flip, with stop at + .
The stop only lowers (never raises) in a downtrend.
Flip Point: If price closes through the trailing stop, the current bias “flips,” and the logic reverses (bullish to bearish or vice versa). At the new close, flip price and bar index are stored for target calculation.
3. ATR Targets after Flip
After each stop flip:
Three targets—based on the new close price—are calculated and plotted:
Long flip (new bull bias): Target1 = close + 1×ATR, Target2 = close + 2×ATR, Target3 = close + 3×ATR.
Short flip (new bear bias): Target1 = close - 1×ATR, Target2 = close - 2×ATR, Target3 = close - 3×ATR.
These targets help with scaling out, partial profit-taking, or setting automated orders.
4. Visual Feedback
Trailing stop line: Green for long bias, red for short bias.
Targets: Distinct color-coded circles at 1, 2, 3 ATR levels from the most recent flip.
Flip Labels: Mark the bar and price where bias flipped (“Long Flip” or “Short Flip”) for quick pattern recognition.
Subtle background shading: Ensures TradingView's requirement for “indicator output every bar.”
How to Use This Indicator
Parameter Setup
ATR Period and Multiplier: Adjust to match the timeframe and volatility of your instrument.
Lower periods/multipliers for short-term/volatile trading.
Higher values for smoother signals or higher timeframes.
Starting Trend: Set to match the expected initial bias if the instrument has strong trend characteristics.
Trading Application
1. Daily Bias Approach
Establish your bias in line with your trading plan (e.g., only trade long if price is above the previous day's high, short below the previous day's low).
Only look for trades in the indicator's current bias direction, as expressed by the stop and background color.
2. Entry
Use the indicator as a real-time confirmation or trailing stop for your entries.
Breakout: Enter when price establishes the current bias, using the trailing stop as your risk level.
Reversal: Wait for a bias flip after an extended move; enter in the direction of the new bias.
VWAP Rebound: Combine with a VWAP bounce—enter only if the indicator bias supports your direction.
3. Exits/Targets
Trailing stop management: Move your stop according to the plotted line; exit if your stop is hit.
Profit-taking: Scale out or take profits as price approaches each ATR-based target.
Use the dynamic labeling to identify reversal flips and reset your plan if stopped or the bias changes.
4. Market Context
Filter and frame setups by watching correlated indicators (DXY, VIX, AUDJPY, put/call ratio) and upcoming news; trade only in the daily bias direction for best consistency.
5. Practical Tips
Combine this indicator with your custom watchlist and alert settings to get notified on flips or targets.
Review the last label ("Long Flip"/"Short Flip") and targets to plan partial exits.
Remember: ATR adapts to volatility, so the stop and targets stay proportionate even when price action shifts.
Price Volume Trend [sgbpulse]1. Introduction: What is Price Volume Trend (PVT)?
The Price Volume Trend (PVT) indicator is a powerful technical analysis tool designed to measure buying and selling pressure in the market based on price changes relative to trading volume. Unlike other indicators that focus solely on volume or price, PVT combines both components to provide a more comprehensive picture of trend strength.
How is it Calculated?
The PVT is calculated by adding or subtracting a proportional part of the daily volume from a cumulative total.
When the closing price rises, a proportional part of the daily volume (based on the percentage price change) is added to the previous PVT value.
When the closing price falls, a proportional part of the daily volume is subtracted from the previous PVT value.
If there is no change in price, the PVT value remains unchanged.
The result of this calculation is a cumulative line that rises when buying pressure is strong and falls when selling pressure dominates.
2. Why PVT? Comparison to Similar Indicators
While other indicators measure volume-price pressure, PVT offers a unique advantage:
PVT vs. On-Balance Volume (OBV):
OBV simply adds or subtracts the entire day's volume based on the closing direction (up/down), regardless of the magnitude of the price change. This means a 0.1% price change is treated the same as a 10% change.
PVT, on the other hand, gives proportional weight to volume based on the percentage price change. A trading day with a large price increase and high volume will impact the PVT significantly more than a small price increase with the same volume. This makes PVT more sensitive to trend strength and changes within it.
PVT vs. Accumulation/Distribution Line (A/D Line):
The A/D Line focuses on the relationship between the closing price and the bar's trading range (Close Location Value) and multiplies it by volume. It indicates whether the pressure is buying or selling within a single bar.
PVT focuses on the change between closing prices of consecutive bars, multiplying this by volume. It better reflects the flow of money into or out of an asset over time.
By combining volume with percentage price change, PVT provides deeper insights into trend confirmation, identifying divergences between price and volume, and spotting signs of weakness or strength in the current trend.
3. Indicator Settings (Inputs)
The "Price Volume Trend " indicator offers great flexibility for customization to your specific needs through the following settings:
Moving Average Type: Allows you to select the type of moving average used for the central line on the PVT. Your choice here will affect the line's responsiveness to PVT movements.
- "None" : No moving average will be displayed on the PVT.
- "SMA" (Simple Moving Average): A simple average, smoother, ideal for identifying longer-term trends in PVT.
- "SMA + Bollinger Bands": This unique option not only displays a Simple Moving Average but also activates the Bollinger Bands around the PVT. This is the recommended option for analyzing volatility and ranges using Bollinger Bands.
- "EMA" (Exponential Moving Average): An exponential average, giving more weight to recent data, responding faster to changes in PVT.
- "SMMA (RMA)" (Smoothed Moving Average): A smoothed average, providing extra smoothing, less sensitive to noise.
- "WMA" (Weighted Moving Average): A weighted average, giving progressively more weight to recent data, responding very quickly to changes in PVT.
Moving Average Length: Defines the number of bars used to calculate the moving average (and, if applicable, the standard deviation for the Bollinger Bands). A lower value will make the line more responsive, while a higher value will smooth it out.
PVT BB StdDev (Bollinger Bands Standard Deviation): Determines the width of the Bollinger Bands. A higher value will result in wider bands, making it less likely for the PVT to cross them. The standard value is 2.0.
4. Visual Aid: Current PVT Level Line
This indicator includes a unique and highly useful visual feature: a dynamic horizontal line displayed on the PVT graph.
Purpose: This line marks the exact level of the PVT on the most recent trading bar. It extends across the entire chart, allowing for a quick and intuitive comparison of the current level to past levels.
Why is it Important?
- Identifying Divergences: Often, an asset's price may be lower or higher than past levels, but the PVT level might be different. This auxiliary line makes it easy to spot situations where PVT is at a higher level when the price is lower, or vice-versa, which can signal potential trend changes (e.g., higher PVT than in the past while price is low could indicate strong accumulation).
- Quick Direction Indication: The line's color changes dynamically: it will be green if the PVT value on the last bar has increased (or remained the same) relative to the previous bar (indicating positive buying pressure), and red if the PVT value has decreased relative to the previous bar (indicating selling pressure). This provides an immediate visual cue about the direction of the cumulative momentum.
5. Important Note: Trading Risk

Adaptive Squeeze Momentum +Adaptive Squeeze Momentum+ (Auto-Timeframe Version)
Overview
Adaptive Squeeze Momentum+ is an enhanced volatility and momentum indicator designed to identify compression and expansion phases in price action. It is inspired by the classic Squeeze Momentum Indicator by LazyBear but introduces automatic parameter adaptation to any timeframe, making it simpler to use across different markets without manual configuration.
Concepts and Methodology
The script combines Bollinger Bands (BB) and Keltner Channels (KC) to detect periods when volatility contracts (squeeze) or expands (release).
A squeeze occurs when BB are inside KC, suggesting low volatility and potential breakout scenarios.
A squeeze release is detected when BB expand outside KC.
Momentum is derived using a linear regression applied to the difference between price and a midrange reference level.
Original Improvements
Compared to the original Squeeze Momentum Indicator, this version offers several enhancements:
Automatic Adaptation: BB and KC lengths and multipliers are dynamically adjusted based on the chart’s timeframe (from 1 minute up to 1 month), removing the need for manual tuning.
Simplified Visualization: A clean, minimalist histogram and clear squeeze state cross markers allow for faster interpretation.
Flexible Application: Designed to work consistently on intraday, daily, and higher timeframes across crypto, forex, stocks, and indices.
Features
Dynamic Squeeze Detection:
Gray Cross: Neutral (no squeeze detected)
Blue Cross: Active squeeze
Yellow Cross: Squeeze released
Momentum Histogram:
Positive/negative momentum shown with slope-based coloring.
Timeframe-Aware Parameters:
Automatically sets optimal BB/KC configurations.
Usage
Watch for blue crosses indicating an active squeeze phase that may precede a directional move.
Use the histogram color and slope to gauge momentum strength and direction.
Combine squeeze release signals with momentum confirmation for potential entries or exits.
Credits and Licensing
This script was inspired by LazyBear’s OLD “Squeeze Momentum Indicator” (). The implementation here significantly expands upon the original by introducing auto-adaptive parameters, restructured logic, and a new visualization approach. Published under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.

Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Levels – Automatic High/Low Tracking
This indicator automatically tracks and draws liquidity levels (recent highs and lows) from up to 6 custom timeframes directly on your chart. It’s designed for advanced traders who want to visualize important swing points and liquidity pools across multiple timeframes—ideal for Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT, and price action trading.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Support:
Select up to 6 different timeframes (ex: 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly, etc.), each with separate color and visibility controls.
Real Liquidity (No Repaint):
Levels are only drawn from fully closed bars on each timeframe—no lines from currently forming candles, ensuring accuracy and no forward-looking bias.
Automatic Detection:
Highs and lows are detected automatically. Levels that get swept (price breaks through) are converted to dashed lines for easy visual distinction.
Customizable:
Choose line colors for highs/lows and set the maximum number of active levels per timeframe to keep charts clean.
Extended Lines:
All levels are extended to the right, helping you see how current price interacts with past liquidity.
How It Works:
On every new bar of your chosen higher timeframe(s), the indicator records the high and low of the previous (just-closed) candle.
These levels are extended as rays until price sweeps (crosses) them.
When a level is swept, it is redrawn as a dashed line to highlight liquidity grabs or stop hunts.
No lines are drawn for the “live” bar—only confirmed, closed levels are displayed.
Who is this for?
SMC, ICT, and price action traders seeking high-confidence liquidity zones.
Intraday, swing, and multi-timeframe traders who want an automated, visual edge.
Anyone wanting to avoid repainting or “fake” levels from unfinished candles.
Tip:
Combine this indicator with your favorite order block, fair value gap (FVG), or market structure tools for even greater context and confluence.
Disclaimer:

Alma SD SuperTrend | OquantAlma SD SuperTrend | Oquant
The "Alma SD SuperTrend | Oquant" is a trend-following indicator that integrates the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) with a SuperTrend calculation based on standard deviation (SD). Designed to quickly identify and follow market trends while reducing noise, this script provides buy and sell signals for traders across various assets and timeframes.
This script offers a unique approach by combining ALMA with a SuperTrend framework that uses standard deviation instead of the traditional Average True Range (ATR). This implementation focuses on fast trend detection with minimized noise, making it suitable for trend-following or swing trading strategies. The script’s customizable parameters allow traders to adapt it to their preferred trading style.
How It Works
Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA): ALMA is an advanced moving average that applies a Gaussian filter to smooth price data, reducing market noise while preserving responsiveness to price changes. It uses three parameters:
Length: Sets the lookback period for smoothing. Longer periods produce smoother results.
Offset: Shifts the moving average toward recent prices. Higher offsets emphasize newer data for faster trend detection.
Sigma controls the smoothness and lag of the Alma by adjusting the spread of the Gaussian distribution used in the calculation.
Standard Deviation (SD) Calculation: The script calculates the standard deviation of the price over a specified period to measure volatility. SD measures how much the prices deviate from its mean, offering a statistical perspective on market volatility. This is used to create dynamic upper and lower bands around the ALMA line, adjusted by a user-defined factor. The bands expand in volatile markets and contract in stable conditions, helping in trend detection.
SuperTrend Logic: The script generates a SuperTrend line that dynamically tracks market trends by switching between upper and lower volatility bands based on price movement. Here's how it works:
The SuperTrend line is calculated using the ALMA (Arnaud Legoux Moving Average) as a baseline, with upper and lower bands created by adding and subtracting a multiple(Factor) of the standard deviation (SD) from the ALMA.
When the price moves above the upper band, the SuperTrend line shifts to the lower band, indicating a bullish trend (potential buy signal).
When the price falls below the lower band, the SuperTrend line switches to the upper band, signaling a bearish trend (potential sell signal).
To avoid quick, unreliable changes, this script intelligently adjusts the SuperTrend bands for stability. While the SuperTrend line dynamically follows market movements, it's designed to hold at its previous level if the price doesn't cross a band or confirm a new trend direction. This approach ensures the SuperTrend quickly identifies and follows genuine market trends, providing clear signals while effectively reducing false alerts from short-term price swings.
Differences from Traditional SuperTrend:
Baseline: The traditional SuperTrend typically uses a hl2((high + low)/2)as its baseline, while this script employs ALMA for a smoother, noise-filtered trend foundation.
Volatility Measure: Instead of ATR, this script uses standard deviation to calculate the bands. Standard deviation measures how much the prices vary or spread out from its mean.
Visualization: The script plots the SuperTrend line, colors candles to match the trend, and fills the area between the price and the SuperTrend line for visual clarity, helping traders quickly identify trend direction and strength (green for bullish, purple for bearish).
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to any market and timeframe.
Interpret Signals:
Green Line and Candles: Bullish trend (price above the SuperTrend line). Consider long entries.
Purple Line and Candles: Bearish trend (price below the SuperTrend line). Consider short entries.
Filled Area: The shaded area between price and the SuperTrend line highlights trend direction(green for bullish, purple for bearish).
Adjust Inputs:
Source: Select the price data to use (e.g., close, open, high, low).
Factor: Adjusts band width. Higher values widen bands, reducing sensitivity.
SD Length: Period for calculating standard deviation. Longer periods smooth volatility.
ALMA Length: Period for ALMA. Longer periods increase smoothness.
Alma Offset: Shift the moving average toward recent or older prices. Higher offsets emphasize newer data for faster trend detection.
ALMA Sigma control the smoothness and lag of the Alma by adjusting the spread of the Gaussian distribution used in the calculation.
Alerts
This indicator includes optional built-in alert conditions that notify you when the signal crosses above 0 (long signal, price above upper band) or below 0 (short signal, price below lower band). Enable these alerts to get timely updates on potential trend shifts without constantly monitoring the chart.

Rally/Drop Market Structure (Multi-Timeframe)Rally/Drop Market Structure
Supply and Demand Zones from Bullish/Bearish Breaks
Overview:
The Rally/Drop Market Structure indicator is a powerful price action tool that identifies key structural turning points in the market by detecting bullish and bearish breaks . After each confirmed break, it plots either a demand zone (following a bullish break or rally) or a supply zone (following a bearish break or drop). These zones represent institutional footprints — areas where price is likely to react due to imbalance or unfilled orders.
The indicator is based on synthetic higher timeframe (HTF) candles to provide a more stable and smoothed structural map, improving clarity and signal quality over raw candles.
How It Works:
- A bullish break is defined when price makes a higher high and a higher low (or closes above the previous high depending on your selected mode).
- A bearish break is defined when price makes a lower high and a lower low (or closes below the previous low).
- After a bullish break, the indicator plots a demand zone based on the low and high of the most recent bearish candle — representing where demand stepped in.
- After a bearish break, the indicator plots a supply zone from the most recent bullish candle — indicating where supply took control.
- Optional mitigation logic marks zones as mitigated (or deletes them) once price trades into the opposing side.
- Internal shift detection highlights swing highs and lows , labels structural points (HH, HL, LH, LL), and identifies potential liquidity sweeps .
Features:
- Dynamic plotting of rally-based demand zones and drop-based supply zones
- Toggle to use Highs/Lows or Close-based breaks for structure
- Support for LTF, MTF, and HTF analysis (with selectable timeframe)
- Zone mitigation logic with optional automatic cleanup
- Labeling of key swing points: HH , HL , LH , LL , and LS (Liquidity Sweep)
- Zigzag visualization for structure flow
- Alert-ready for internal shifts, BoS, and zone creation
- Separate styling options for BoS lines, internal shift shapes, and zone colors
How to Use:
- Set your desired HTF candle source (e.g., 1H or 4H) depending on your trading style.
- Use Highs/Lows mode for pure price action structure or Close mode for more conservative signals.
- Observe when a bullish break occurs — a demand zone will form where price previously dropped before rallying. Look for long opportunities if price revisits this zone.
- After a bearish break , a supply zone forms where the rally failed — use this to scout short entries on retests.
- Use BoS lines to confirm structure shifts and validate entry triggers or trend direction.
- Monitor mitigated zones for reduced reliability or avoid them completely by enabling automatic deletion.
- Use alerts to stay notified about key changes without watching the chart constantly.
Recommended Strategies:
- Smart money or ICT-style trading : identify institutional footprints and mitigation setups
- Reversal trading : catch price rejecting off unmitigated zones after structure break
- Trend continuation : enter in the direction of internal structure after pullbacks into zones
- Liquidity sweep confirmation : filter out false breaks using HH/LL with LS detection
Tips:
- Combine this indicator with a higher timeframe bias tool (e.g., moving average, higher timeframe market structure).
- For scalping, use tighter HTFs and reduce the zone duration.
- For swing trading, use larger HTFs (1H, 4H, Daily) and increase zone persistence.
Summary:
The Rally/Drop Market Structure indicator gives you an actionable framework for understanding price structure, market intent, and supply/demand imbalances. Whether you're looking for precision entries, trend confirmation, or smart money concepts, this tool helps simplify complex price behavior into clean, usable structure and zones.

Momentum Candle V2 by Sekolah Trading📌 Momentum Candle V2 by Sekolah Trading – Pair-Based Volatility & Wick Ratio Filter
This script provides a structured and adaptive approach to detecting high-probability momentum candles in intraday markets. It dynamically adjusts pip thresholds and wick filtering conditions based on the selected symbol and timeframe, making it highly practical for real-time trading.
🔍 Concept and Originality
Momentum Candle V2 by Sekolah Trading implements a custom-built methodology combining:
Dynamic Pip Calibration
For each supported instrument (e.g., XAUUSD, USDJPY, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, EURUSD, BTCUSD), the user can define a pip threshold that determines the minimum valid body size for momentum candles. These thresholds are tailored for each pair and timeframe (M5, M15, H1), ensuring the logic adjusts to different volatility profiles.
Wick-to-Body Ratio Filtering
The script filters out candles with large wicks by requiring that total wick length (upper + lower) be no more than 30% of the full candle range. This helps identify decisive candles with minimal rejection.
Directional Validation
Bullish momentum is defined as: Close > Open with a shorter upper wick.
Bearish momentum is: Close < Open with a shorter lower wick.
Real-Time Timing Filter
Alerts are only triggered when the current candle is between 20 and 90 seconds from closing, which reduces noise and encourages confirmation-based entry.
Non-Repainting Logic
All calculations run in real-time with confirmed candles only — no lookahead or future leak.
📊 Visual Output – How to Read the Chart
When the conditions above are met, the script displays triangle markers on the chart:
🔺 Red downward triangle above the candle: valid bearish momentum signal
🔻 Blue upward triangle below the candle: valid bullish momentum signal
These shapes appear on live bars during the final moments of the candle to alert traders to potential confirmed momentum.
🔔 Alert Conditions
Two alert types are provided:
Momentum Bullish: Large bullish candle with small upper wick, during last 20–90s of bar
Momentum Bearish: Large bearish candle with small lower wick, same timing window
Alerts are designed for precision entries at candle close.
🧭 How to Use
Apply the script to a 5m, 15m, or 1h chart.
Configure pip thresholds for your preferred pairs from the input settings.
Watch for triangle markers near the close of each candle:
Blue = potential bullish momentum
Red = potential bearish momentum
Set alerts:
Go to Alerts → Select Momentum Bullish or Momentum Bearish
Frequency: Once Per Bar
Customize message: e.g. “Momentum Bullish on XAUUSD M15”
Combine signals with:
EMA, S/R, or trend filters
Volume/Order Flow
Liquidity zone or breakout context
🛡️ Why This Script Is Closed-Source
This script uses proprietary logic developed by Sekolah Trading, including:
Custom pip calibration engine
Adaptive wick filtering
Real-time entry validation with triangle plots

Turtle Trading System + ATR Trailing StopIndicator Description: Turtle ATR Trailing Stop
The **Turtle ATR Trailing Stop** is a technical indicator designed to enhance the classic Turtle Trading System by incorporating a dynamic trailing stop based on the Average True Range (ATR). This indicator is ideal for traders seeking to manage risk and lock in profits on both long and short positions in trending markets.
Key Features:
- Turtle Trading Levels: Calculates the 20-day highest high and lowest low to identify potential breakout points, a core principle of the Turtle Trading System.
- ATR-Based Trailing Stop: Utilizes a trailing stop that adjusts dynamically based on a multiple of the ATR (default multiplier: 2.0), providing a volatility-adjusted exit mechanism.
- Position Flexibility: Supports both long and short positions, with the trailing stop positioned below the highest price for long trades and above the lowest price for short trades.
- Smooth Updates: The trailing stop updates on each bar, ensuring a more responsive adjustment to price movements, rather than only on new highs or lows.
- Reset Mechanism: Automatically resets the trailing stop when the price deviates significantly (configurable threshold, default 0.1%), adapting to major trend reversals.
- Alerts: Includes customizable alerts that trigger when the price reaches the trailing stop level, notifying traders of potential exit points.
- Debugging Tools: Features an on-chart debug table displaying ATR, Close, Highest Price, Lowest Price, Potential Stop, and Trailing Stop values for real-time analysis.
How It Works:
- For **Long Positions**: The trailing stop starts below the initial close price (minus 2*ATR) and moves up as the highest price increases, locking in profits while trailing at a fixed ATR distance.
- For **Short Positions**: The trailing stop starts above the initial close price (plus 2*ATR) and moves down as the lowest price decreases, protecting against upward price movements.
- The stop resets if the price falls (for long) or rises (for short) beyond the set threshold, ensuring adaptability to new market conditions.
Customization:
- Period Settings: Adjust the length for highs/lows (default 20) and ATR period (default 14).
- ATR Multiplier: Modify the distance of the trailing stop (default 2.0).
- Reset Threshold: Fine-tune the percentage at which the stop resets (default 0.1%).
- Position Type: Switch between "Long" and "Short" modes via input settings.
Usage:
Apply this indicator to any chart in TradingView, set your preferred parameters, and monitor the trailing stop line (yellow) alongside the Turtle highs (red) and lows (blue). Use the debug table to validate calculations and set alerts to stay informed of stop triggers.
This indicator combines the trend-following strength of the Turtle System with a flexible, ATR-based stop-loss strategy, making it a powerful tool for both manual and automated trading strategies.
Institutional Sweep Zone (Range-Based)Institutional Sweep Zone (Range-Based)
This indicator models potential stop sweep zones based on institutional capital ranges, helping traders visualize where high-probability liquidity grabs are likely to occur.
Unlike traditional volatility bands, this tool estimates price movement by calculating how far a specific amount of capital—entered into the market—can push price. By defining a lower and upper capital range (in millions of USD), the indicator dynamically draws bands representing the distance institutions could realistically move price in either direction.
It supports directional control, allowing you to focus on long sweeps, short sweeps, or both simultaneously. The pip cost is auto-calibrated based on the selected currency pair, making it highly adaptive to major FX pairs.
Key Features:
-Capital input range (in millions of USD)
-Directional sweep targeting: Long, Short, or Both
-Auto-detection of pip value based on FX pair
-Visual sweep zone mapped above and below current price
-Designed to highlight areas of institutional stop hunts
Why use it?
-Helps avoid setting stops inside common sweep zones
-Improves trade survivability when paired with higher timeframe strategies
-Offers a unique way to view price through an institutional lens

TrendZonesTrendZones
This is an indicator which I use, have tested, tweaked and added features to for use in my trend following investing system. I got the idea for it when for some reason I was looking for a dynamic reference to measure the height of a channel or something. In search of this I made MA’s of the high and low borders of a Donchian channel which turned out to be two near parallel and stunningly smooth curves. This visual was so appealing that I immediately tried to turn it into a replacement for the KeltCOG which I previously used in my system. First I created a curve in the middle of the upper and lower curves, which I called COG (Center Of Gravity). Then I decided to enter only one lookback and let the script create a Donchian channel with half the lookback and use this to create the curves with an MA of whole lookback. For this reason the minimum lookback is set to 14, enough room for the Donchian Channel of 7 periods. This Donchian ChanneI has a special way of calculating the borders, involving a 5 period Median value. Thanks to this these borders are really a resistance and support level, which won’t change at a whim, e.g. when a ‘dead cat bounce’ occurs. I prevented the Donchian channel to show itself between the curves and only pop out from behind these. These pop outs now function as “strong trend zones”. I gave it colors (blue:-strong up, green: moderate up, orange: moderate down, red: strong down, near COG: gray, curves horizontal: gray) and it looked very appealing. I tested it in different time frames. In some weekend, when I was bored, I observed for a few hours the minute chart of bitcoin. It turned out that you can reliably tell that an uptrend ends when the candles go under the COG beginning a downtrend. Uptrend starts again once the candles go above COG. As Trends on minute charts only last around half an hour, this entertainment made the potential of this indicator very clear to me in just one afternoon.
Risk Management, Safe Level and Logical Stops.
In the inputs are settings for “Risk Tolerance”, and to activate “Show Logical Stop Level” (activated in example chart) and “Show Safe Level”. As a rule of thump a trade should not expose the invested capital to a risk of losing more than 2 percent. I divided my investment capital in ten equal parts which are allocated to ten different stocks or other instruments or kept liquid. This means that when a position is closed by triggering a Stop with a loss of 20 percent, the invested capital suffers only 2 percent (20% x 10% = 2%). This is why the value for “Risk Tolerance” has a default of 20. Because I put my Stops on the lower curve, a “Safe Level” can be calculated such that when you buy for a price below or at this level, the stop will protect the position sufficiently. Because I only buy when the instrument is in uptrend, the buying price should be between COG and Safe Level. Although I never do that, putting the stop at other curves is feasible and when you want to widen the stop (I never lower my stops btw) in a downtrend situation, even 1 ATR below the “Low Border”. I call these “Logical Stop Levels”, marked with dark green circles on the lower curve when safe buying by placing the Stoploss on this curve is possible, gray circles on the other curves, on the Upper Curve navy when price enters very profitable level. In a downtrend situation maroon circles appear.
Target lines
When I open a position I always set a Stoploss and a Target, for this purpose two types of Target values can be set and corresponding Target lines activated. These lines are drawn above the “High Border” at the set distance. If one expects some price to be used, differences will occur.
Other Features
Support Zone, this is 1 ATR below the “Low Border”, the maroon circles of the “Logal Stops” are placed on this “Support level”.
Stop distance and Channel Width. (activated in example chart) These are reported in a two cell table in the right lower corner of the main panel. I created this because I want to be able to check the volatility, whether the channel shows a situation in which safe buying in most levels of the channel is possible or what risk you take when you buy now and set the Stop at the nearest logical level (which is not always the “Lower curve”). This feature comes in handy for creating a setup I propose in the “Day Trading Fantasy” below.
Some General and User Settings. I never activate this, perhaps you will.
Use Of TrendZones In My System.
Create a list of stocks in uptrend. I define ‘stock in uptrend’ as in uptrend zone in all three monthly, weekly and daily charts, all three should at the same time be in uptrend. The advantage of TrendZones is that you can immediately see in which zone the candle moves.
Opening a position in a stock from the above list. I do this only when in both the daily and weekly the green dot on the lower curve indicates a buying opportunity. This is usually not the case in most of the items of the list, this feature thus provides a good timing for opening a position. Sometimes you need to wait a few weeks for this to happen.
Setting a target over a position. For this I use the Target percent line of the weekly chart with the default value of 10.
Updating the Stoploss and Target values. Every week or two weeks I set these to the new values of the “Lower Curve” and the Target line of the weekly. Attention: never shift down Stops, only up or let them stay the same when the curve moves down. I never use Stop levels on other curves.
I Check the charts whenever I like to do this. Close the position when the uptrend obviously shifts down. Otherwise I let the profits run until the Target triggers which closes the position with some profit.
For selecting stocks an checking charts for volume events, I also use a subpanel indicator called “TZanalyser”, which borrows the visual of my “Fibonacci Zone Oscillator”, is based on TrendZones and includes code from my REVE indicators. I intend to publish that as well.
Day Trading Fantasy.
Day trading is an attempt to earn a dime by opening a position in the morning and close it during the day again with a profit (or a loss). Before the market closes, you close all day trading positions.
In my fantasy the “Logical Stop Level” is repurposed for use as entry point and the ATR-based Target line is used to provide a target setting in an intraday chart, like e.g. 15 minute. To do this the “Safe Level” should be limited to between Channel width and COG. This can be done by showing “Safe Level” and “Channel Width” and then set “Risk Tolerance” to around the shown Channel Width. In this setting you can then wait for the green circle to show up for entering your trade and protect it with the stop.
I don’t know if this works fine or if it’s better than other day trade systems, because I don’t do day trading.
Take care and have fun.
