Volume Buy/Sell ChartVolume Buy/Sell Chart
This script visualizes the distribution of buying and selling volume within each candlestick, helping traders identify dominant market pressure at a glance. It separates volume into Buy Volume (Green) and Sell Volume (Red) using a unique calculation based on price movement within a candle.
Features:
✅ Customizable Bar Display: Choose to display 5, 10, or 100 bars using a simple dropdown selection.
✅ Buy & Sell Volume Calculation: The script determines buying and selling volume dynamically based on price action within the candle.
✅ Custom Volume Threshold for Alerts: Set a percentage threshold (0–100) to trigger alerts when buy or sell volume exceeds a predefined level.
✅ Color-Coded Histogram:
Green Bars: Represent the estimated buy volume.
Red Bars: Represent the estimated sell volume.
✅ Alerts Integration: Automatically detect strong buy or sell signals when the respective volume percentage exceeds your set threshold.
How It Works:
The script calculates total price movement within a candle.
It then estimates buying and selling volume ratios based on whether the price closes higher or lower than it opened.
Finally, it normalizes the buy/sell volume against the total volume and plots it as a column chart.
Usage Guide:
Add the script to your chart.
Select how many bars to display (5, 10, or 100).
Adjust the Custom Volume Percentage Threshold (default: 75%).
Watch for significant buy/sell volume imbalances that might indicate market turning points!
This tool is great for traders looking to analyze volume flow and market sentiment with a simple yet effective visualization. 🚀

Volume Block Order AnalyzerCore Concept
The Volume Block Order Analyzer is a sophisticated Pine Script strategy designed to detect and analyze institutional money flow through large block trades. It identifies unusually high volume candles and evaluates their directional bias to provide clear visual signals of potential market movements.
How It Works: The Mathematical Model
1. Volume Anomaly Detection
The strategy first identifies "block trades" using a statistical approach:
```
avgVolume = ta.sma(volume, lookbackPeriod)
isHighVolume = volume > avgVolume * volumeThreshold
```
This means a candle must have volume exceeding the recent average by a user-defined multiplier (default 2.0x) to be considered a significant block trade.
2. Directional Impact Calculation
For each block trade identified, its price action determines direction:
- Bullish candle (close > open): Positive impact
- Bearish candle (close < open): Negative impact
The magnitude of impact is proportional to the volume size:
```
volumeWeight = volume / avgVolume // How many times larger than average
blockImpact = (isBullish ? 1.0 : -1.0) * (volumeWeight / 10)
```
This creates a normalized impact score typically ranging from -1.0 to 1.0, scaled by dividing by 10 to prevent excessive values.
3. Cumulative Impact with Time Decay
The key innovation is the cumulative impact calculation with decay:
```
cumulativeImpact := cumulativeImpact * impactDecay + blockImpact
```
This mathematical model has important properties:
- Recent block trades have stronger influence than older ones
- Impact gradually "fades" at rate determined by decay factor (default 0.95)
- Sustained directional pressure accumulates over time
- Opposing pressure gradually counteracts previous momentum
Trading Logic
Signal Generation
The strategy generates trading signals based on momentum shifts in institutional order flow:
1. Long Entry Signal: When cumulative impact crosses from negative to positive
```
if ta.crossover(cumulativeImpact, 0)
strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long)
```
*Logic: Institutional buying pressure has overcome selling pressure, indicating potential upward movement*
2. Short Entry Signal: When cumulative impact crosses from positive to negative
```
if ta.crossunder(cumulativeImpact, 0)
strategy.entry("Short", strategy.short)
```
*Logic: Institutional selling pressure has overcome buying pressure, indicating potential downward movement*
3. Exit Logic: Positions are closed when the cumulative impact moves against the position
```
if cumulativeImpact < 0
strategy.close("Long")
```
*Logic: The original signal is no longer valid as institutional flow has reversed*
Visual Interpretation System
The strategy employs multiple visualization techniques:
1. Color Gradient Bar System:
- Deep green: Strong buying pressure (impact > 0.5)
- Light green: Moderate buying pressure (0.1 < impact ≤ 0.5)
- Yellow-green: Mild buying pressure (0 < impact ≤ 0.1)
- Yellow: Neutral (impact = 0)
- Yellow-orange: Mild selling pressure (-0.1 < impact ≤ 0)
- Orange: Moderate selling pressure (-0.5 < impact ≤ -0.1)
- Red: Strong selling pressure (impact ≤ -0.5)
2. Dynamic Impact Line:
- Plots the cumulative impact as a line
- Line color shifts with impact value
- Line movement shows momentum and trend strength
3. Block Trade Labels:
- Marks significant block trades directly on the chart
- Shows direction and volume amount
- Helps identify key moments of institutional activity
4. Information Dashboard:
- Current impact value and signal direction
- Average volume benchmark
- Count of significant block trades
- Min/Max impact range
Benefits and Use Cases
This strategy provides several advantages:
1. Institutional Flow Detection: Identifies where large players are positioning themselves
2. Early Trend Identification: Often detects institutional accumulation/distribution before major price movements
3. Market Context Enhancement: Provides deeper insight than simple price action alone
4. Objective Decision Framework: Quantifies what might otherwise be subjective observations
5. Adaptive to Market Conditions: Works across different timeframes and instruments by using relative volume rather than absolute thresholds
Customization Options
The strategy allows users to fine-tune its behavior:
- Volume Threshold: How unusual a volume spike must be to qualify
- Lookback Period: How far back to measure average volume
- Impact Decay Factor: How quickly older trades lose influence
- Visual Settings: Labels and line width customization
This sophisticated yet intuitive strategy provides traders with a window into institutional activity, helping identify potential trend changes before they become obvious in price action alone.
JP225 Influence AnalyzerThis tool provides a way to assess how USDJPY and DJIA influence JP225, using standardization and linear regression for quantitative evaluation. It also detects deviations from the linear model and displays the results in a colored table.
Table Structure
Row 1: Current value of USDJPY and its change from the previous bar
Row 2: Current value of DJIA and its change from the previous bar
Row 3: Theoretical value of Nikkei 225 calculated using the least squares method from USDJPY
and DJIA, and its change from the previous bar
Row 4: Current value of the chart symbol (Nikkei 225) and its change from the previous bar
Background Color Meanings
A. Current Value Column (Column 2)
If USDJPY or DJIA significantly contributes to the change in the theoretical value of Nikkei 225, the cell turns blue (increase) or red (decrease). The threshold is 1.5.
If the current value of Nikkei 225 increases, it turns blue; if it decreases, it turns red.
B. Change Value Column (Column 3)
If there is a discrepancy between the change in the theoretical value and the actual change of Nikkei 225, the cell turns yellow (moderate discrepancy: threshold 20) or red (significant discrepancy: threshold 50).
Judgment Based on Current Value Column (Column 2)
If the color of USDJPY or DJIA matches the color of Nikkei 225, that symbol is the main cause.
If there is no match, the main cause is "other factors."
Judgment Based on Change Column (Column 3)
Yellow: Suggests that other factors may be influencing the price.
Red: Strongly indicates that other factors are the main cause.

Dual SuperTrend w VIX Filter - Strategy [presentTrading]Hey everyone! Haven't been here for a long time. Been so busy again in the past 2 months. I recently started working on analyzing the combination of trend strategy and VIX, but didn't get outstanding results after a few tries. Sharing this tool with all of you in case you have better insights.
█ Introduction and How it is Different
The Dual SuperTrend with VIX Filter Strategy combines traditional trend following with market volatility analysis. Unlike conventional SuperTrend strategies that focus solely on price action, this experimental system incorporates VIX (Volatility Index) as an adaptive filter to create a more context-aware trading approach. By analyzing where current volatility stands relative to historical norms, the strategy adjusts to different market environments rather than applying uniform logic across all conditions.
BTCUSD 6hr Long Short Performance
█ Strategy, How it Works: Detailed Explanation
🔶 Dual SuperTrend Core
The strategy uses two SuperTrend indicators with different sensitivity settings:
- SuperTrend 1: Length = 13, Multiplier = 3.5
- SuperTrend 2: Length = 8, Multiplier = 5.0
The SuperTrend calculation follows this process:
1. ATR = Average of max(High-Low, |High-PreviousClose|, |Low-PreviousClose|) over 'length' periods
2. UpperBand = (High+Low)/2 - (Multiplier * ATR)
3. LowerBand = (High+Low)/2 + (Multiplier * ATR)
Trend direction is determined by:
- If Close > previous LowerBand, Trend = Bullish (1)
- If Close < previous UpperBand, Trend = Bearish (-1)
- Otherwise, Trend = previous Trend
🔶 VIX Analysis Framework
The core innovation lies in the VIX analysis system:
1. Statistical Analysis:
- VIX Mean = SMA(VIX, 252)
- VIX Standard Deviation = StdDev(VIX, 252)
- VIX Z-Score = (Current VIX - VIX Mean) / VIX StdDev
2. **Volatility Bands:
- Upper Band 1 = VIX Mean + (2 * VIX StdDev)
- Upper Band 2 = VIX Mean + (3 * VIX StdDev)
- Lower Band 1 = VIX Mean - (2 * VIX StdDev)
- Lower Band 2 = VIX Mean - (3 * VIX StdDev)
3. Volatility Regimes:
- "Very Low Volatility": VIX < Lower Band 1
- "Low Volatility": Lower Band 1 ≤ VIX < Mean
- "Normal Volatility": Mean ≤ VIX < Upper Band 1
- "High Volatility": Upper Band 1 ≤ VIX < Upper Band 2
- "Extreme Volatility": VIX ≥ Upper Band 2
4. VIX Trend Detection:
- VIX EMA = EMA(VIX, 10)
- VIX Rising = VIX > VIX EMA
- VIX Falling = VIX < VIX EMA
Local performance:
🔶 Entry Logic Integration
The strategy combines trend signals with volatility filtering:
Long Entry Condition:
- Both SuperTrend 1 AND SuperTrend 2 must be bullish (trend = 1)
- AND selected VIX filter condition must be satisfied
Short Entry Condition:
- Both SuperTrend 1 AND SuperTrend 2 must be bearish (trend = -1)
- AND selected VIX filter condition must be satisfied
Available VIX filter rules include:
- "Below Mean + SD": VIX < Lower Band 1
- "Below Mean": VIX < VIX Mean
- "Above Mean": VIX > VIX Mean
- "Above Mean + SD": VIX > Upper Band 1
- "Falling VIX": VIX < VIX EMA
- "Rising VIX": VIX > VIX EMA
- "Any": No VIX filtering
█ Trade Direction
The strategy allows testing in three modes:
1. **Long Only:** Test volatility effects on uptrends only
2. **Short Only:** Examine volatility's impact on downtrends only
3. **Both (Default):** Compare how volatility affects both trend directions
This enables comparative analysis of how volatility regimes impact bullish versus bearish markets differently.
█ Usage
Use this strategy as an experimental framework:
1. Form a hypothesis about how volatility affects trend reliability
2. Configure VIX filters to test your specific hypothesis
3. Analyze performance across different volatility regimes
4. Compare results between uptrends and downtrends
5. Refine your volatility filtering approach based on results
6. Share your findings with the trading community
This framework allows you to investigate questions like:
- Are uptrends more reliable during rising or falling volatility?
- Do downtrends perform better when volatility is above or below its historical average?
- Should different volatility filters be applied to long vs. short positions?
█ Default Settings
The default settings serve as a starting point for exploration:
SuperTrend Parameters:
- SuperTrend 1 (Length=13, Multiplier=3.5): More responsive to trend changes
- SuperTrend 2 (Length=8, Multiplier=5.0): More selective filter requiring stronger trends
VIX Analysis Settings:
- Lookback Period = 252: Establishes a full market cycle for volatility context
- Standard Deviation Bands = 2 and 3 SD: Creates statistically significant regime boundaries
- VIX Trend Period = 10: Balances responsiveness with noise reduction
Default VIX Filter Selection:
- Long Entry: "Above Mean" - Tests if uptrends perform better during above-average volatility
- Short Entry: "Rising VIX" - Tests if downtrends accelerate when volatility is increasing

Whale Buy Activity Detector (Real-Time)Whale Buy Activity Detector (Real-Time)
This indicator helps to identify abnormal spikes in the volume of purchases, which may indicate the activity of large players ("whales"). It analyzes the volume of purchases and compares it with the average volume over a certain period of time. If the volume of purchases exceeds a set threshold, the indicator marks this as potential whale activity.
Basic parameters:
Volume Threshold (x Average): The coefficient by which the current purchase volume must exceed the average volume in order to be considered abnormal. The default value is 2.0, which means that the purchase volume should be 2 times the average volume for the selected time period. This parameter can be adjusted in the range from 1.0 and higher in increments of 0.1.
Example: If you set the value to 1.5, the indicator will mark situations when the volume of purchases exceeds the average volume by 1.5 times.
Lookback Period: The time period used to calculate the average purchase volume. The default value is 20, which means that the average purchase volume will be calculated for the last 20 candles. This parameter can be set in the range from 1 and above.Example: If you set the value to 10, the average purchase volume will be calculated for the last 10 candles.
How to use:
Buy Volume: Shows the volume of purchases on each candle. This is the volume that was sold at a price higher than the opening price of the candle.
Average Buy Volume: The average volume of purchases over a given time period (Lookback Period). This parameter helps to determine the "normal" level of purchase volume.
Whale Buy: Notes abnormal spikes in the volume of purchases, which may indicate the activity of "whales". The indicator draws a mark on the top of the candle when the purchase volume exceeds the threshold set by the Volume Threshold parameter.
Notifications:
The indicator can send notifications when an abnormal volume of purchases is detected. You can set up notifications via the TradingView menu to receive real-time alerts.
Usage example:
If you are trading in a highly volatile market, you can increase the Volume Threshold to filter out small volume spikes.
If you trade in a low-volatility market, you can reduce the Volume Threshold to capture even small anomalies.
Quarterly Theory ICT 02 [TradingFinder] True Open Session 90 Min🔵 Introduction
The Quarterly Theory ICT indicator is an advanced analytical system built on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts and fractal time. It divides time into four quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4), and is designed based on the consistent repetition of these phases across all trading timeframes (annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even shorter trading sessions).
Each cycle consists of four distinct phases: the first phase (Q1) is the Accumulation phase, characterized by price consolidation; the second phase (Q2), known as Manipulation or Judas Swing, is marked by initial false movements indicating a potential shift; the third phase (Q3) is Distribution, where price volatility peaks; and the fourth phase (Q4) is Continuation/Reversal, determining whether the previous trend continues or reverses.
🔵 How to Use
The central concept of this strategy is the "True Open," which refers to the actual starting point of each time cycle. The True Open is typically defined at the beginning of the second phase (Q2) of each cycle. Prices trading above or below the True Open serve as a benchmark for predicting the market's potential direction and guiding trading decisions.
The practical application of the Quarterly Theory strategy relies on accurately identifying True Open points across various timeframes.
True Open points are defined as follows :
Yearly Cycle :
Q1: January, February, March
Q2: April, May, June (True Open: April Monthly Open)
Q3: July, August, September
Q4: October, November, December
Monthly Cycle :
Q1: First Monday of the month
Q2: Second Monday of the month (True Open: Daily Candle Open price on the second Monday)
Q3: Third Monday of the month
Q4: Fourth Monday of the month
Weekly Cycle :
Q1: Monday
Q2: Tuesday (True Open: Daily Candle Open Price on Tuesday)
Q3: Wednesday
Q4: Thursday
Daily Cycle :
Q1: 18:00 - 00:00 (Asian session)
Q2: 00:00 - 06:00 (True Open: Start of London Session)
Q3: 06:00 - 12:00 (NY AM)
Q4: 12:00 - 18:00 (NY PM)
90 Min Asian Session :
Q1: 18:00 - 19:30
Q2: 19:30 - 21:00 (True Open at 19:30)
Q3: 21:00 - 22:30
Q4: 22:30 - 00:00
90 Min London Session :
Q1: 00:00 - 01:30
Q2: 01:30 - 03:00 (True Open at 01:30)
Q3: 03:00 - 04:30
Q4: 04:30 - 06:00
90 Min New York AM Session :
Q1: 06:00 - 07:30
Q2: 07:30 - 09:00 (True Open at 07:30)
Q3: 09:00 - 10:30
Q4: 10:30 - 12:00
90 Min New York PM Session :
Q1: 12:00 - 13:30
Q2: 13:30 - 15:00 (True Open at 13:30)
Q3: 15:00 - 16:30
Q4: 16:30 - 18:00
Micro Cycle (22.5-Minute Quarters) : Each 90-minute quarter is further divided into four 22.5-minute sub-segments (Micro Sessions).
True Opens in these sessions are defined as follows :
Asian Micro Session :
True Session Open : 19:30 - 19:52:30
London Micro Session :
T rue Session Open : 01:30 - 01:52:30
New York AM Micro Session :
True Session Open : 07:30 - 07:52:30
New York PM Micro Session :
True Session Open : 13:30 - 13:52:30
By accurately identifying these True Open points across various timeframes, traders can effectively forecast the market direction, analyze price movements in detail, and optimize their trading positions. Prices trading above or below these key levels serve as critical benchmarks for determining market direction and making informed trading decisions.
🔵 Setting
Show True Range : Enable or disable the display of the True Range on the chart, including the option to customize the color.
Extend True Range Line : Choose how to extend the True Range line on the chart, with the following options:
None: No line extension
Right: Extend the line to the right
Left: Extend the line to the left
Both: Extend the line in both directions (left and right)
Show Table : Determines whether the table—which summarizes the phases (Q1 to Q4)—is displayed.
Show More Info : Adds additional details to the table, such as the name of the phase (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, or Continuation/Reversal) or further specifics about each cycle.
🔵 Conclusion
The Quarterly Theory ICT, by dividing time into four distinct quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4) and emphasizing the concept of the True Open, provides a structured and repeatable framework for analyzing price action across multiple time frames.

Overview
The "Advanced Support and Resistance Levels" indicator, created, is a sophisticated tool designed for TradingView's Pine Script v6 platform. It identifies and plots key support and resistance levels on a price chart, enhancing technical analysis by incorporating pivot strength, volume weighting, and level decay. The indicator overlays lines, zones, and labels on the chart, providing a visual representation of significant price levels where the market has historically reversed or consolidated.
Purpose
This indicator, authored by , aims to:
Detect significant pivot points (highs and lows) with customizable strength requirements.
Track and rank support/resistance levels based on their recency, volume, and number of touches.
Display these levels as lines and optional zones, with strength-based visual cues (e.g., line thickness and opacity).
Offer flexibility through user-configurable settings to adapt to different trading styles and market conditions.
Features
Pivot Detection:
Identifies high and low pivots using a strength parameter, requiring a specified number of bars on either side where no higher highs or lower lows occur.
Incorporates closing price checks and SMA-based trend confirmation to filter out noise and ensure pivots align with the broader market direction.
Level Management:
Maintains a dynamic array of levels with attributes: price, type (support/resistance), bars since last touch, strength, and volume.
Merges nearby levels within a tolerance percentage, updating prices with a strength-weighted average.
Prunes weaker or older levels when exceeding the maximum allowed, prioritizing those with higher calculated strength.
Strength Calculation:
Combines the number of touches (strength), volume (if enabled), and age decay (if enabled) into a single metric.
Volume weighting uses a logarithmic scale to emphasize high-volume pivots without over-amplifying extreme values.
Age decay reduces the importance of older levels over time, ensuring relevance to current price action.
Visualization:
Draws horizontal lines at each level, with thickness reflecting the number of touches (up to a user-defined maximum).
Optional price zones around levels, sized as a percentage of the price, to indicate areas of influence.
Labels display the level type (S for support, R for resistance), price, and strength score, with position (left or right) customizable.
Line opacity varies with strength, providing a visual hierarchy of level significance.
Plots small triangles at detected pivot points for reference.
Inputs
Lookback Period (lookback, default: 20): Number of bars to consider for trend confirmation via SMA. Range: 5–100.
Pivot Strength (strength, default: 2): Number of bars required on each side of a pivot to confirm it. Range: 1–10.
Price Tolerance % (tolerance, default: 0.5): Percentage range for merging similar levels. Range: 0.1–5.
Max Levels to Show (maxLevels, default: 10): Maximum number of levels displayed. Range: 2–50.
Zone Size % (zoneSizePercent, default: 0.1): Size of the S/R zone as a percentage of the price. Range: 0–1.
Line Width (lineWidth, default: 1): Maximum thickness of level lines. Range: 1–5.
Show Labels (showLabels, default: true): Toggle visibility of level labels.
Label Position (labelPos, default: "Right"): Position of labels ("Left" or "Right").
Level Strength Decay (levelDecay, default: true): Enable gradual reduction in strength for older levels.
Volume Weighting (volumeWeight, default: true): Incorporate volume into level strength calculations.
Support Color (supportColor, default: green): Color for support levels.
Resistance Color (resistColor, default: red): Color for resistance levels.
How It Works
Pivot Detection:
Checks for pivots only after enough bars (2 * strength) have passed.
A high pivot requires strength bars before and after with no higher highs or closes, and a short-term SMA above a long-term SMA.
A low pivot requires strength bars before and after with no lower lows or closes, and a short-term SMA below a long-term SMA.
Level Tracking:
New pivots create levels with initial strength and volume.
Existing levels within tolerance are updated: strength increases, volume takes the maximum value, and price adjusts via a weighted average.
Levels older than lookback * 4 bars with strength below 0.5 are removed.
If the number of levels exceeds maxLevels, the weakest (by calculated strength) are pruned using a selection sort algorithm.
Drawing:
Updates on the last confirmed bar or in real-time.
Lines extend lookback bars left and right from the current bar, with thickness based on touches.
Zones (if enabled) are drawn symmetrically around the level price.
Labels show detailed info, with opacity tied to strength.
Usage
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to any TradingView chart via the Pine Script editor, as designed by .
Adjust Settings: Customize inputs to match your trading strategy (e.g., increase strength for stronger pivots, adjust tolerance for tighter level merging).
Interpret Levels: Focus on thicker, less transparent lines for stronger levels; use zones to identify potential reversal areas.
Combine with Other Tools: Pair with trend indicators or oscillators for confluence in trading decisions.
Notes
Performance: The indicator uses arrays and sorting, which may slow down on very long charts with many levels. Keep maxLevels reasonable for efficiency.
Accuracy: Enhanced by trend confirmation and volume weighting, making it more reliable than basic S/R indicators, thanks to 's design.
Limitations: Real-time updates may shift levels as new pivots form; historical levels are more stable.
Example Settings
For day trading: lookback=10, strength=1, tolerance=0.3, maxLevels=5.
For swing trading: lookback=50, strength=3, tolerance=0.7, maxLevels=10.

Double Top/Bottom Fractals DetectorDouble Top/Bottom Detector with Williams Fractals (Extended + Early Signal)
This indicator combines the classic Williams Fractals methodology with an enhanced mechanism to detect potential reversal patterns—namely, double tops and double bottoms. It does so by using two separate detection schemes:
Confirmed Fractals for Pattern Formation:
The indicator calculates confirmed fractals using the traditional Williams Fractals rules. A fractal is confirmed if a bar’s high (for an up fractal) or low (for a down fractal) is the highest or lowest compared to a specified number of bars on both sides (default: 2 bars on the left and 2 on the right).
Once a confirmed fractal is identified, its price (high for tops, low for bottoms) and bar index are stored in an internal array (up to the 10 most recent confirmed fractals).
When a new confirmed fractal appears, the indicator compares it with previous confirmed fractals. If the new fractal is within a user-defined maximum bar distance (e.g., 20 bars) and the price difference is within a specified tolerance (default: 0.8%), the indicator assumes that a double top (if comparing highs) or a double bottom (if comparing lows) pattern is forming.
A signal is then generated by placing a label on the chart—SELL for a double top and BUY for a double bottom.
Early Signal Generation:
To capture potential reversals sooner, the indicator also includes an “early signal” mechanism. This uses asymmetric offsets different from the confirmed fractal calculation:
Signal Right Offset: Defines the candidate bar used for early signal detection (default is 1 bar).
Signal Left Offset: Defines the number of bars to the left of the candidate that must confirm the candidate’s price is the extreme (default is 2 bars).
For an early top candidate, the candidate bar’s high must be greater than the highs of the bars specified by the left offset and also higher than the bar immediately to its right. For an early bottom candidate, the corresponding condition applies for lows.
If the early candidate’s price level is within the acceptable tolerance when compared to any of the previously stored confirmed fractals (again, within the allowed bar distance), an early signal is generated—displayed as SELL_EARLY or BUY_EARLY.
The early signal block can be enabled or disabled via a checkbox input, allowing traders to choose whether to use these proactive signals.
Key Parameters:
n:
The number of bars used to confirm a fractal. The fractal is considered valid if the bar’s high (or low) is higher (or lower) than the highs (or lows) of the preceding and following n bars.
maxBarsApart:
The maximum number of bars allowed between two fractals for them to be considered part of the same double top or bottom pattern.
tolerancePercent:
The maximum allowed percentage difference (default: 0.8%) between the high (or low) values of two fractals to qualify them as matching for the pattern.
signalLeftOffset & signalRightOffset:
These parameters define the asymmetric offsets for early signal detection. The left offset (default: 2) specifies how many bars to look back, while the right offset (default: 1) specifies the candidate bar’s position.
earlySignalsEnabled:
A checkbox option that allows users to enable or disable early signal generation. When disabled, the indicator only uses confirmed fractal signals.
How It Works:
Fractal Calculation and Plotting:
The confirmed fractals are calculated using the traditional method, ensuring robust identification by verifying the pattern with a symmetrical offset. These confirmed fractals are plotted on the chart using triangle shapes (upwards for potential double bottoms and downwards for potential double tops).
Pattern Detection:
Upon detection of a new confirmed fractal, the indicator checks up to 10 previous fractals stored in internal arrays. If the new fractal’s high or low is within the tolerance range and close enough in terms of bars to one of the stored fractals, it signifies the formation of a double top or double bottom. A corresponding SELL or BUY label is then placed on the chart.
Early Signal Feature:
If enabled, the early signal block checks for candidate bars based on the defined asymmetric offsets. These candidates are evaluated to see if their high/low levels meet the early confirmation criteria relative to nearby bars. If they also match one of the confirmed fractal levels (within tolerance and bar distance), an early signal is issued with a label (SELL_EARLY or BUY_EARLY) on the chart.
Benefits for Traders:
Timely Alerts:
By combining both confirmed and early signals, the indicator offers a proactive approach to detect reversals sooner, potentially improving entry and exit timing.
Flexibility:
With adjustable parameters (including the option to disable early signals), traders can fine-tune the indicator to better suit different markets, timeframes, and trading styles.
Enhanced Pattern Recognition:
The dual-layered approach (confirmed fractals plus early detection) helps filter out false signals and captures the essential formation of double tops and bottoms more reliably.
