CoffeeShopCrypto Supply Demand PPO AdvancedCoffeeShopCrypto PPO Advanced is a structure-aware momentum oscillator and price-trend overlay designed to help traders interpret momentum strength, exhaustion, and continuation across evolving market conditions. It’s not a “buy/sell” signal tool — it's a momentum context tool that helps confirm trend intent.
Original Code derived from the Price Oscillator Indicators (PPO) found in the TradingView Technical Indicators categories. You can view the info and calculation for the original PPO here
www.tradingview.com
Much like the MACD, the PPO uses a couple lagging indicators to present Momentum as a percentage. But it lacks context to market structure.
What It’s Based On
This tool is based on a dual-moving-average PPO oscillator structure (Percentage Price Oscillator) enhanced by:
Oscillator pivot structure: detection of Lower Highs (LH) and Higher Lows (HL) inside the oscillator.
Detection of Supply and Demand Trends via Market Absorption
Ability to transfer its average plots to price action
Detection of Trend Exhaustion
Real-time price-based exhaustion levels: projecting potential future supply and demand using trendlines from weakening momentum.
Integrated fast and slow Moving Averages on price using the same inputs as the oscillator, to visualize alignment between short- and long-term trends.
These elements combine momentum context with price action in a visual, intuitive system.
How It Works
1. Oscillator Structure
LHs (above zero): momentum weakening in uptrends.
HLs (below zero): momentum strengthening in downtrends.
Only valid pivots are shown (e.g., an LH must be preceded by a valid LL).
2. Exhaustion Levels
Green demand lines: price is making new lows, but oscillator prints HL → potential exhaustion.
Red supply lines: price is making new highs, but oscillator prints LH → potential exhaustion.
These lines are future-facing, projecting likely reaction zones based on momentum weakening.
3. Moving Averages on Price
Two MAs are drawn on the price chart:
Fast MA (same length as PPO short input)
Slow MA (same length as PPO long input)
These are not signal lines — they're visual guides for trend alignment.
MA crossover = PO crosses zero. This indicates short- and long-term momentum are syncing — a powerful signal of trend conviction.
When price is above both MAs, and the PO is rising above zero, bullish momentum is dominant.
When price is below both MAs, and the PO is falling below zero, bearish momentum dominates.
How Traders Can Use It
✅ Spot Trend Initiation
Wait for clear trend confirmation in price.
Use PPO Momentum+ to confirm momentum structure is aligned (e.g., HH/HL in oscillator + price above both MAs).
🔁 Track Continuations
In uptrends, look for oscillator HH and HL sequences with price holding above both MAs.
In downtrends, seek LL and LH sequences with price below both MAs.
⚠️ Watch for Exhaustion
Price breaking below red (supply) lines after oscillator LH = bearish exhaustion signal.
Price breaking above green (demand) lines after oscillator HL = bullish exhaustion signal.
These levels act like pre-mapped S/R zones, showing where momentum previously failed and price may react.
Why This Is Different
Momentum tools often lag or mislead when used blindly. This tool visualizes structural failure in momentum and maps potential outcomes. The integration of oscillator and price-based tools ensures traders are always reading context, not just raw signals.
Demand Trendlines
Demand trendlines show us Wykoff's law of "Absorbed Supply Reversal" In real time.
When aggressive selling pressure is persistently absorbed by passive buying interest without significant downward price continuation, and supply becomes exhausted, the market structure shifts as demand regains control—resulting in a directional reversal to the upside.
This commonly happens in a 3 phase interaction of price.
1. Selling pressure is absorbed quickly by buyers.
This PPO tool will calculate the trend of this absorption process
2. After there is a notable Bearish Exhaustion of price action, the PPO tool will draw a trendline of this absorption showing us the potential future prices where aggressive buyers will want to step in at lower prices.
3. After higher lows are defined in the oscillator, you'll see prices react in a strong bullish pattern at this trendline where aggressive buyers stepped in to reverse price action to the upside.
Supply Trendlines
Supply trendlines show us Wykoff's law of "Absorbed Demand Reversal" In real time.
When aggressive buying pressure is persistently absorbed by passive selling interest without significant downward price continuation, and demand becomes exhausted, the market structure shifts as supply regains control—resulting in a directional reversal to the downside.
This commonly happens in a 3 phase interaction of price.
1. Buying pressure is absorbed quickly by sellers.
This PPO tool will calculate the trend of this absorption process.
2. After there is a notable Bullish Exhaustion of price action, the PPO tool will draw a trendline of this absorption showing us the potential future prices where aggressive sellers will want to step in at higher prices.
3. After lower highs are defined in the oscillator, you'll see prices react in a strong bearish pattern at this trendline where aggressive sellers stepped in to reverse price action to the downside.
Lower High and Higher Low Signals
When the oscillator signals Lower Highs or High Lows its only noting that momentum in that trend direction is slowing. THis indicates a coming pause in the market and the proceeding longs of an uptrend or shorts of a downtrend should be taken with caution.
**These LH and HL markers are not reading as divergences in price vs momentum.**
They are simply registering against the highs and lows of itself..
Moving Averages on Price Action
The Oscillator will cross over its ZERO level the same time your Short and Long MAs cross each other. This will indicate that the short term average trend is moving ahead of the long term.
Crossovers are not an entry signal. It's a method in determining you current timeframe trend strength. Always observe price action as it passes through each of your moving averages and compare it to the positioning and direction of the oscillator.
If price dips in between the moving averages while the oscillator still shows a strong trend strength, you can wait for price to move ahead of your fast moving average.
Bar Colors and Signal Line for Trend Strength
Good Bullish Trend = Oscillator above zero + Signal rising below Oscillator
Weak Bullish Trend = Oscillator above zero + Signal above Oscillator
Good Bearish Trend = Oscillator below zero + Signal falling above Oscillator
Weak Bearish Trend = Oscillator below zero + Signal below Oscillator
Bar Colors
Bars are colored to match Oscillator Momentum Strength. Colors are set by user.
Why alter the known PPO (Percentage Price Oscillator) in this manner?
The PPO tool is great for measuring the strength as percentage of price action over and average amount of candles however, with these changes,
you know have the ability to correlate:
Wycoff theory of supply and demand,
Measure the depth of reversals and pullback by price positioning against moving averages,
Project potential reversal and exhaustion pricing,
Visibly note the structure of momentum much like you would note market structure,
Its not enough to know there is momentum. Its better to know
A) Is it enough
B) Is there something in the way which will cause price to push back
C) Does this momentum correlate to the prevailing trend

TrendLine ChannelsAbstract
This script provides a set of Trendline Channels which can be tighter than Donchian Channels.
This script computes the most suitable active upper and lower trendlines and updates them as soon as possible.
We can use it for breakout signals earlier than Donchian Channels.
Introduction
Channels are tools which can mark area of values of ranging markets.
Once the price leaves the original region, range traders may start admitting they are wrong and trigger trend.
Donchian Channels (misheard as Dungeon Channels) use the highest and the lowest price to define area of values.
When the price breakouts, it just like it got released from a dungeon.
However, waiting for the price making even higher or lower may be too late and risk reward ratio may be lower.
Trendlines can make the channels tighter and we can find earlier breakout signals.
Computing Trendline Channels
(1) Find the most active trendlines
In this script, a valid trendline connects two high values or two low values.
A high value means the highest value in a trading day.
A low value means the lowest value in a trading day.
In this script, every trendline does not crossover any bar but can exactly touch them.
The most flat trendline is taken. (one for upper and one for lower)
(2) Continue to use or Change a trendline
If there is a tighter trendline available, this script changes to use it.
If the previous active trendline is broken, this script re-computes the trendline available.
When this case happens, this script display with an another color.
Otherwise, this script continues using the previous trendline.
(3) Middle line
The middle line indicates the middle value between the upper and the lower.
Parameters
Length : how many days are used for computation. The default value is 16 just because 16=4*4, using binary characteristic.
x_go_on : If the previous trendline is not breakout and there are no tighter trendlines available, we continue use it.
Color Options
(1) Upper trendline (no update or tighter)
(2) Upper trendline (changed due to breakout)
(3) Middle line
(4) Lower trendline (no update or tighter)
(5) Lower trendline (changed due to breakout)
Conclusion
Trendline Channels can be tighter than Donchian Channels and evaluate earlier breakout signals.
Comparing to known auto trendline scripts, Trendline Channels is continuous.
Once a trendline is broken, Trendline Channels can instantly point out the next available one.
If you think the price movement is boring or you cannot have good risk reward ratio, you can go to an another timeframe.

Trendline Breaks with Multi Fibonacci Supertrend StrategyTMFS Strategy: Advanced Trendline Breakouts with Multi-Fibonacci Supertrend
Elevate your algorithmic trading with institutional-grade signal confluence
Strategy Genesis & Evolution
This advanced trading system represents the culmination of a personal research journey, evolving from my custom " Multi Fibonacci Supertrend with Signals " indicator into a comprehensive trading strategy. Built upon the exceptional trendline detection methodology pioneered by LuxAlgo in their " Trendlines with Breaks " indicator, I've engineered a systematic framework that integrates multiple technical factors into a cohesive trading system.
Core Fibonacci Principles
At the heart of this strategy lies the Fibonacci sequence application to volatility measurement:
// Fibonacci-based factors for multiple Supertrend calculations
factor1 = input.float(0.618, 'Factor 1 (Weak/Fibonacci)', minval = 0.01, step = 0.01)
factor2 = input.float(1.618, 'Factor 2 (Medium/Golden Ratio)', minval = 0.01, step = 0.01)
factor3 = input.float(2.618, 'Factor 3 (Strong/Extended Fib)', minval = 0.01, step = 0.01)
These precise Fibonacci ratios create a dynamic volatility envelope that adapts to changing market conditions while maintaining mathematical harmony with natural price movements.
Dynamic Trendline Detection
The strategy incorporates LuxAlgo's pioneering approach to trendline detection:
// Pivotal swing detection (inspired by LuxAlgo)
pivot_high = ta.pivothigh(swing_length, swing_length)
pivot_low = ta.pivotlow(swing_length, swing_length)
// Dynamic slope calculation using ATR
slope = atr_value / swing_length * atr_multiplier
// Update trendlines based on pivot detection
if bool(pivot_high)
upper_slope := slope
upper_trendline := pivot_high
else
upper_trendline := nz(upper_trendline) - nz(upper_slope)
This adaptive trendline approach automatically identifies key structural market boundaries, adjusting in real-time to evolving chart patterns.
Breakout State Management
The strategy implements sophisticated state tracking for breakout detection:
// Track breakouts with state variables
var int upper_breakout_state = 0
var int lower_breakout_state = 0
// Update breakout state when price crosses trendlines
upper_breakout_state := bool(pivot_high) ? 0 : close > upper_trendline ? 1 : upper_breakout_state
lower_breakout_state := bool(pivot_low) ? 0 : close < lower_trendline ? 1 : lower_breakout_state
// Detect new breakouts (state transitions)
bool new_upper_breakout = upper_breakout_state > upper_breakout_state
bool new_lower_breakout = lower_breakout_state > lower_breakout_state
This state-based approach enables precise identification of the exact moment when price breaks through a significant trendline.
Multi-Factor Signal Confluence
Entry signals require confirmation from multiple technical factors:
// Define entry conditions with multi-factor confluence
long_entry_condition = enable_long_positions and
upper_breakout_state > upper_breakout_state and // New trendline breakout
di_plus > di_minus and // Bullish DMI confirmation
close > smoothed_trend // Price above Supertrend envelope
// Execute trades only with full confirmation
if long_entry_condition
strategy.entry('L', strategy.long, comment = "LONG")
This strict requirement for confluence significantly reduces false signals and improves the quality of trade entries.
Advanced Risk Management
The strategy includes sophisticated risk controls with multiple methodologies:
// Calculate stop loss based on selected method
get_long_stop_loss_price(base_price) =>
switch stop_loss_method
'PERC' => base_price * (1 - long_stop_loss_percent)
'ATR' => base_price - long_stop_loss_atr_multiplier * entry_atr
'RR' => base_price - (get_long_take_profit_price() - base_price) / long_risk_reward_ratio
=> na
// Implement trailing functionality
strategy.exit(
id = 'Long Take Profit / Stop Loss',
from_entry = 'L',
qty_percent = take_profit_quantity_percent,
limit = trailing_take_profit_enabled ? na : long_take_profit_price,
stop = long_stop_loss_price,
trail_price = trailing_take_profit_enabled ? long_take_profit_price : na,
trail_offset = trailing_take_profit_enabled ? long_trailing_tp_step_ticks : na,
comment = "TP/SL Triggered"
)
This flexible approach adapts to varying market conditions while providing comprehensive downside protection.
Performance Characteristics
Rigorous backtesting demonstrates exceptional capital appreciation potential with impressive risk-adjusted metrics:
Remarkable total return profile (1,517%+)
Strong Sortino ratio (3.691) indicating superior downside risk control
Profit factor of 1.924 across all trades (2.153 for long positions)
Win rate exceeding 35% with balanced distribution across varied market conditions
Institutional Considerations
The strategy architecture addresses execution complexities faced by institutional participants with temporal filtering and date-range capabilities:
// Time Filter settings with flexible timezone support
import jason5480/time_filters/5 as time_filter
src_timezone = input.string(defval = 'Exchange', title = 'Source Timezone')
dst_timezone = input.string(defval = 'Exchange', title = 'Destination Timezone')
// Date range filtering for precise execution windows
use_from_date = input.bool(defval = true, title = 'Enable Start Date')
from_date = input.time(defval = timestamp('01 Jan 2022 00:00'), title = 'Start Date')
// Validate trading permission based on temporal constraints
date_filter_approved = time_filter.is_in_date_range(
use_from_date, from_date, use_to_date, to_date, src_timezone, dst_timezone
)
These capabilities enable precise execution timing and market session optimization critical for larger market participants.

Descending Broadening Patterns [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically draws descending broadening patterns and price projections derived from the ranges that constitute the patterns.
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a close price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a close price that is lower than the price it opened.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Peak and Trough Prices (Basic)
• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Upper Trends
• A return line uptrend is formed when the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price.
• A double-top is formed when the current peak price is equal to the preceding peak price.
Lower Trends
• An uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price.
• A return line downtrend is formed when the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
• A double-bottom is formed when the current trough price is equal to the preceding trough price.
Double Trends
• A double uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price and the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A double downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price and the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
Range
The range is simply the difference between the current peak and current trough prices, generally expressed in terms of points or pips.
Support and Resistance
• Support refers to a price level where the demand for an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further.
• Resistance refers to a price level where the supply of an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further.
Support and resistance levels are important because they can help traders identify where the price of an asset might pause or reverse its direction, offering potential entry and exit points. For example, a trader might look to buy an asset when it approaches a support level , with the expectation that the price will bounce back up. Alternatively, a trader might look to sell an asset when it approaches a resistance level , with the expectation that the price will drop back down.
It's important to note that support and resistance levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also break through these levels and continue moving in the same direction.
Breakouts and Breakdowns
• A breakout occurs when the price of an asset breaks above a resistance level.
• A breakdown occurs when the price of an asset breaks below a support level.
• A confirmed breakout occurs when the price of an asset breaks and closes above a resistance level.
• A confirmed breakdown occurs when the price of an asset breaks and closes below a support level.
It's important to note that breakouts and breakdowns of resistance and support levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also reverse once it has broken through a level to carry on in the opposite direction.
Trendlines
Trendlines are straight lines that are drawn between two or more points on a price chart. These lines are used as dynamic support and resistance levels for making strategic decisions and predictions about future price movements. For example traders will look for price movements along, and reactions to, trendlines in the form of rejections or breakouts/downs.
Descending Broadening Patterns
Descending broadening patterns are generally characterised by descending diverging trendlines drawn from four points that form a broadening shape, or megaphone. Traders typically look for breakouts or breakdowns of descending broadening patterns to identify potential trading opportunities, with targets and stop losses set as multiples of the pattern's range.
█ FEATURES
Inputs
• Show Historic
• Show Projections
• Pattern Color
• Extend Current Pattern Lines
• Extend Current Projection Lines
█ LIMITATIONS
All green and red candle calculations are based on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. This may cause some unexpected behaviour on some markets and timeframes. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with.

• A double-top is formed when the current peak price is equal to the preceding peak price.
Lower Trends
• An uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price.
• A return line downtrend is formed when the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
• A double-bottom is formed when the current trough price is equal to the preceding trough price.
Double Trends
• A double uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price and the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A double downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price and the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
Range
The range is simply the difference between the current peak and current trough prices, generally expressed in terms of points or pips.
Support and Resistance
• Support refers to a price level where the demand for an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further.
• Resistance refers to a price level where the supply of an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further.
Support and resistance levels are important because they can help traders identify where the price of an asset might pause or reverse its direction, offering potential entry and exit points. For example, a trader might look to buy an asset when it approaches a support level , with the expectation that the price will bounce back up. Alternatively, a trader might look to sell an asset when it approaches a resistance level , with the expectation that the price will drop back down.
It's important to note that support and resistance levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also break through these levels and continue moving in the same direction.
Breakouts and Breakdowns
• A breakout occurs when the price of an asset breaks above a resistance level.
• A breakdown occurs when the price of an asset breaks below a support level.
• A confirmed breakout occurs when the price of an asset breaks and closes above a resistance level.
• A confirmed breakdown occurs when the price of an asset breaks and closes below a support level.
It's important to note that breakouts and breakdowns of resistance and support levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also reverse once it has broken through a level to carry on in the opposite direction.
Trendlines
Trendlines are straight lines that are drawn between two or more points on a price chart. These lines are used as dynamic support and resistance levels for making strategic decisions and predictions about future price movements. For example traders will look for price movements along, and reactions to, trendlines in the form of rejections or breakouts/downs.
Ascending Broadening Patterns
Ascending broadening patterns are generally characterised by ascending diverging trendlines drawn from four points that form a broadening shape, or megaphone. Traders typically look for breakouts or breakdowns of ascending broadening patterns to identify potential trading opportunities, with targets and stop losses set as multiples of the pattern's range.

Another New Adaptive Moving Average [CC]The New Adaptive Moving Average was created by Scott Cong (Stocks and Commodities Mar 2023) and this is a companion indicator to my previous script . This indicator still works off of the same concept as before with effort vs results but this indicator takes a slightly different approach and instead defines results as the absolute difference between the closing price and a closing price x bars ago. As you can see in my chart example, this indicator works great to stay with the current trend and provides either a stop loss or take profit target depending on which direction you are going in. As always, I use darker colors to show stronger signals and lighter colors to show normal signals. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other indicator scripts you would like to see me publish!
MA ExtensionThis indicator measures the vertical distance form the current close to the MA of your choice. I find that it does not work best as an oscillator, but it works well for providing early signals for taking profits when trend continuating. For example, if you go short due to a retracement to the MA (of your choice) take profits when a bearish trendline is broken (signalling the start of a bullish correction) that corresponds to the highs of the chart. The logic behind this indicator is that the breakouts of trendlines of an assets difference from an MA will precede corresponding breakouts of trendlines drawn on raw price. Kind of like Momentum, except it takes trend into account. Momentum has the same leading feature when it comes to drawing trendlines , but trendlines will be harder to draw due to the Momentum indicators oscillatory behavior.

Pasrsifal.RegressionTrendStateSummary
The Parsifal.Regression.Trend.State Indicator analyzes the leading coefficients of linear and quadratic regressions of price (against time). It also considers their first- and second-order changes. These features are aggregated into a Trend-State background, shown as a gradient color. In addition, the indicator generates fast and slow signals that can be used as potential entry- or exit triggers.
This tool is designed for advanced trend-following strategies, leveraging information from multiple trendline features.
Background
Trendlines provide insight into the state of a trend or the “trendiness” of a price process. While moving averages or pivot-based lines can serve as envelopes and breakout levels, they are often too lagging for swing traders, who need tools that adapt more closely to price swings, ideally using trendlines, around which the price process swings continuously.
Regression lines address this by cutting directly through the data, making them a natural anchor for observing how price winds around a central trendline within a chosen lookback period.
Regression Trendlines
• Linear Regression:
o Minimizes distance to all closing values over the lookback period.
o The slope represents the short-term linear trend.
o The change of slope indicates trend acceleration or deceleration.
o Linear regression lags during phases of rapid market shifts.
• Quadratic Regression:
o Fits a second-degree polynomial to minimize deviation from closing prices.
o The convexity term (leading coefficient) reflects curvature:
Positive convexity → accelerating uptrend or fading downtrend.
Negative convexity → accelerating downtrend or fading uptrend.
o The change of convexity detects early shifts in momentum and often reacts faster than slope features.
Features Extracted
The indicator evaluates six features:
• Linear features: slope, first derivative of slope, second derivative of slope.
• Quadratic features: convexity term, first derivative of the convexity term, second derivative of the convexity term.
• Linear features: capture broad, background trend behavior.
• Quadratic features: detect deviations, accelerations, and smaller-scale dynamics.
Quadratic terms generally react first to market changes, while linear terms provide stability and context.
Dynamics of Market Moves as seen by linear and quadratic regressions
• At the start of a rapid move:
The change of convexity reacts first, capturing the shift in dynamics before other features. The convexity term then follows, while linear slope features lag further behind. Because convexity measures deviation from linearity, it reflects accelerating momentum more effectively than slope.
• At the end of a rapid move:
Again, the change of convexity responds first to fading momentum, signaling the transition from above-linear to below-linear dynamics. Even while a strong trend persists, the change of convexity may flip sign early, offering a warning of weakening strength. The convexity term itself adjusts more slowly but may still turn before the price process does. Linear features lag the most, typically only flipping after price has already reversed, thereby smoothing out the rapid, more sensitive reactions of quadratic terms.

Parsifal Regression.Trend.State Method
1. Feature Mapping:
Each feature is mapped to a range between -1 and 1, preserving zero-crossings (critical for sign interpretation).
2. Aggregation:
A heuristic linear combination*) produces a background information value, visualized as a gradient color scale:
o Deep green → strong positive trend.
o Deep red → strong negative trend.
o Yellow → neutral or transitional states.
3. Signals:
o Fast signal (oscillator): ranges from -1 to 1, reflecting short-term trend state.
o Slow signal (smoothed): moving average of the fast signal.
o Their interactions (crossovers, zero-crossings) provide actionable trading triggers.
How to Use
The Trend-State background gradient provides intuitive visual feedback on the aggregated regression features (slope, convexity, and their changes). Because these features reflect not only current trend strength but also their acceleration or deceleration, the color transitions help anticipate evolving market states:
• Solid Green: All features near their highs. Indicates a strong, accelerating uptrend. May also reflect explosive or hyperbolic upside moves (including gaps).
• Fading Solid Green: A recently strong uptrend is losing momentum. Price may shift into a slower uptrend, consolidation, or even a reversal.
• Fading Green → Yellow: Often appears as a dirty yellow or a rapidly mixing pattern of green and red. Signals that the uptrend is weakening toward neutrality or beginning to turn negative.
• Yellow → Deepening Red: Two possible scenarios:
o Coming from a strong uptrend → suggests a sharp fade, though the trend may still technically be up.
o Coming from a weaker uptrend or sideways market → suggests the start of an accelerating downtrend.
• Solid Red: All features near their lows. Indicates a strong, accelerating downtrend. May also reflect crash-type conditions or downside gaps.
• Fading Solid Red: A recently strong downtrend is losing strength. Market may move into a slower decline, consolidation, or early reversal upward.
• Fading Red → Yellow : The downtrend is weakening toward neutral, with potential for a bullish shift.
• Yellow → Increasing Green: Two possible scenarios:
o Coming from a strong downtrend, it reflects a sharp fade of bearish momentum, though the market may still technically be trending down.
o Coming from a weaker downtrend or sideways movement, it suggests the start of an accelerating uptrend.
Note: Market evolution does not always follow this neat “color cycle.” It may jump between states, skip stages, or reverse abruptly depending on market conditions. This makes the background coloring particularly valuable as a contextual map of current and evolving price dynamics.
Signal Crossovers:
Although the fast signal is very similar (but not identical) to the background coloring, it provides a numerical representation indicating a bullish interpretation for rising values and bearish for falling.
o High-confidence entries:
Fast signal rising from < -0.7 and crossing above the slow signal → potential long entry.
Fast signal falling from > +0.7 and crossing below the slow signal → potential short entry.
o Low-confidence entries:
Crossovers near zero may still provide a valid trigger but may be noisy and should be confirmed with other signals.
o Zero-crossings:
Indicate broader state changes, useful for conservative positioning or option strategies. For confirmation of a Fast signal 0-crossing, wait for the Slow signal to cross as well.
________________________________________
*) Note on Aggregation
While the indicator currently uses a heuristic linear combination of features, alternatives such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) could provide a more formal aggregation. However, while in the absence of matrix algebra, the required eigenvalue decomposition can be approximated, its computational expense does not justify the marginal higher insight in this case. The current heuristic approach offers a practical balance of clarity, speed, and accuracy.

Auto Support Resistance Channels [TradingFinder] Top/Down Signal🔵 Introduction
In technical analysis, a price channel is one of the most widely used tools for identifying and tracking price trends. A price channel consists of two parallel trendlines, typically drawn from swing highs (resistance) and swing lows (support). These lines define dynamic support and resistance zones and provide a clear framework for interpreting price fluctuations.
Drawing a channel on a price chart allows the analyst to more precisely identify entry points, exit levels, take-profit zones, and stop-loss areas based on how the price behaves within the boundaries of the channel.
Price channels in technical analysis are generally categorized into three types: upward channels with a positive slope, downward channels with a negative slope, and horizontal (range-bound) channels with near-zero slope. Each type offers unique insights into market behavior depending on the price structure and prevailing trend.
Structurally, channels can be formed using either minor or major pivot points. A major channel typically reflects a stronger, more reliable structure that appears on higher timeframes, whereas a minor channel often captures short-term fluctuations or corrective movements within a larger trend.
For instance, a major downward channel may indicate sustained selling pressure across the market, while a minor upward channel could represent a temporary pullback within a broader bearish trend.
The validity of a price channel depends on several factors, including the number of price touches on the channel lines, the symmetry and parallelism of the trendlines, the duration of price movement within the channel, and price behavior around the median line.
When a price channel is broken, it is generally expected that the price will move in the breakout direction by at least the width of the channel. This makes price channels especially useful in breakout analysis.
In the following sections, we will explore the different types of price channels, how to draw them accurately, the structural differences between minor and major channels, and key trade interpretations when price interacts with channel boundaries.
Up Channel :
Down Channel :
🔵 How to Use
A price channel is a practical tool in technical analysis for identifying areas of support, resistance, trend direction, and potential breakout zones. The structure consists of two parallel trendlines within which price fluctuates.
Traders use the relative position of price within the channel to make informed trading decisions. The two primary strategies include range-based trades (buying low, selling high) and breakout trades (entering when price exits the channel).
🟣 Up Channel
In an upward channel, price moves within a positively sloped range. The lower trendline acts as dynamic support, while the upper trendline serves as dynamic resistance. A common strategy involves buying near the lower support and taking profit or selling near the upper resistance.
If price breaks below the lower trendline with strong volume or a decisive candle, it can signal a potential trend reversal. Channels constructed from major pivots generally reflect dominant uptrends, while those based on minor pivots are often corrective structures within a broader bearish movement.
🟣 Down Channel
In a downward channel, price moves between two negatively sloped lines. The upper trendline functions as resistance, and the lower trendline as support. Ideal entry for short trades occurs near the upper boundary, especially when confirmed by bearish price action or a resistance level.
Exit targets are typically located near the lower support. If the upper boundary is broken to the upside, it may be an early sign of a bullish trend reversal. Like upward channels, a major down channel represents broader selling pressure, while a minor one may indicate a brief retracement in a bullish move.
🟣 Range Channel
A horizontal or range-bound channel is characterized by price oscillating between two nearly flat lines. This type of channel typically appears during sideways markets or periods of consolidation.
Traders often buy near the lower boundary and sell near the upper boundary to take advantage of contained volatility. However, fake breakouts are more frequent in range-bound structures, so it is important to wait for confirmation through candlestick signals and volume. A confirmed breakout beyond the channel boundaries can justify entering a trade in the direction of the breakout.
🔵 Settings
Pivot Period :This parameter defines how sensitive the channel detection is. A higher value causes the algorithm to identify major pivot points, resulting in broader and longer-term channels. Lower values focus on minor pivots and create tighter, short-term channels.
🔔 Alerts
Alert Configuration :
Enable or disable the full alert system
Set a custom alert name
Choose the alert frequency: every time, once per bar, or on bar close
Define the time zone for alert timestamps (e.g., UTC)
Channel Alert Types :
Each channel type (Major/Minor, Internal/External, Up/Down) supports two alert types :
Break Alert : Triggered when price breaks above or below the channel boundaries
React Alert : Triggered when price touches and reacts (bounces) off the channel boundary
🎨 Display Settings
For each of the eight channel types, you can customize:
Visibility : show or hide the channel
Auto-delete previous channels when new ones are drawn
Style : line color, thickness, type (solid, dashed, dotted), extension (right only, both sides)
🔵 Conclusion
The price channel is a foundational structure in technical analysis that enables traders to analyze price movement, identify dynamic support and resistance zones, and locate potential entry and exit points with greater precision.
When constructed properly using minor or major pivots, a price channel offers a consistent and intuitive framework for interpreting market behavior—often simpler and more visually clear than many other technical tools.
Understanding the differences between upward, downward, and range-bound channels—as well as recognizing the distinctions between minor and major structures—is critical for selecting the right trading strategy. Upward channels tend to generate buying opportunities, downward channels prioritize short setups, and horizontal channels provide setups for both mean-reversion and breakout trades.
Ultimately, the reliability of a price channel depends on various factors such as the number of touchpoints, the duration of the channel, the parallelism of the lines, and how the price reacts to the median line.
By taking these factors into account, an experienced analyst can effectively use price channels as a powerful tool for trend forecasting and precise trade execution. Although conceptually simple, successful application of price channels requires practice, pattern recognition, and the ability to filter out market noise.

Signal Confirmation: Use the trend signals (green for uptrend, red for downtrend) along with the buy/sell labels to help you confirm potential entries and exits. It's also recommended to combine the signals with other technical tools like volume analysis or RSI for enhanced confirmation.
Trendline Analysis: The plotted trendlines provide additional visual context to identify key market zones, supporting your trading decisions with a clear view of ongoing trends and possible reversal areas.
Risk Management: As with any strategy, always consider proper risk management techniques, such as stop-loss and take-profit levels, to protect against unforeseen market moves.
OBV TSI IndicatorThe OBV TSI Indicator combines two powerful technical analysis tools: the On-Balance Volume (OBV) and the True Strength Index (TSI). This hybrid approach provides insights into both volume dynamics and momentum, helping traders identify potential trend reversals, breakouts, or continuations with greater accuracy.
The OBV TSI Indicator tracks cumulative volume shifts via OBV and integrates the TSI for momentum analysis. It offers customizable moving average options for further smoothing. Visual trendlines, pivot points, and signal markers enhance clarity.
The OBV tracks volume flow by summing volumes based on price changes. Positive volume is added when prices rise, and negative volume is subtracted when prices fall. The result is smoothed to detect meaningful trends in volume. A volume spread is derived from the difference between the smoothed OBV and cumulative volume. This is then adjusted by the price deviation to generate the shadow spread, which highlights critical volume-driven price levels.
The shadow spread is added to either the high or low price, depending on its sign, producing a refined OBV output. This serves as the main source for the subsequent TSI calculation. The TSI is a momentum oscillator calculated using double-smoothed price changes. It provides an accurate measure of trend strength and direction.
Various moving average options, such as EMA, DEMA, or TEMA, are applied to the smoothed OBV for additional trend filtering. Users can select their preferred type and length to suit their trading strategy. Trendlines are plotted to visualize the overall direction. When a significant change in trend is detected, up or down arrows indicate potential buy or sell signals. The script identifies key pivot points based on the highest and lowest levels within a defined period. These pivots help pinpoint reversal zones.
The indicator offers customization options, allowing users to adjust the OBV length for smoothing, choose from various moving average types, and fine-tune the short, long, and signal periods for TSI. Additionally, users can toggle visibility for trendlines, signals, and pivots to suit their preferences.
This indicator is ideal for practical use cases such as spotting potential trend reversals by observing TSI crossovers and pivot levels, anticipating breakouts from key price levels using the shadow spread, and validating trends by aligning TSI signals with OBV and moving averages.
The OBV TSI Indicator is a versatile tool designed to enhance decision-making in trading by combining volume and momentum analysis. Its flexibility and visual aids make it suitable for traders of all experience levels. By leveraging its insights, you can confidently navigate market trends and improve your trading outcomes.
Inverse Head and Shoulders Patterns [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically draws inverse head and shoulders patterns and price projections derived from the ranges that constitute the patterns.
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a close price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a close price that is lower than the price it opened.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Peak and Trough Prices (Basic)
• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Upper Trends
• A return line uptrend is formed when the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price.
• A double-top is formed when the current peak price is equal to the preceding peak price.
Lower Trends
• An uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price.
• A return line downtrend is formed when the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
• A double-bottom is formed when the current trough price is equal to the preceding trough price.
Range
The range is simply the difference between the current peak and current trough prices, generally expressed in terms of points or pips.
Support and Resistance
• Support refers to a price level where the demand for an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further.
• Resistance refers to a price level where the supply of an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further.
Support and resistance levels are important because they can help traders identify where the price of an asset might pause or reverse its direction, offering potential entry and exit points. For example, a trader might look to buy an asset when it approaches a support level , with the expectation that the price will bounce back up. Alternatively, a trader might look to sell an asset when it approaches a resistance level , with the expectation that the price will drop back down.
It's important to note that support and resistance levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also break through these levels and continue moving in the same direction.
Breakouts and Breakdowns
• A breakout occurs when the price of an asset breaks above a resistance level.
• A breakdown occurs when the price of an asset breaks below a support level.
• A confirmed breakout occurs when the price of an asset breaks and closes above a resistance level.
• A confirmed breakdown occurs when the price of an asset breaks and closes below a support level.
It's important to note that breakouts and breakdowns of resistance and support levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also reverse once it has broken through a level to carry on in the opposite direction.
Trendlines
Trendlines are straight lines that are drawn between two or more points on a price chart. These lines are used as dynamic support and resistance levels for making strategic decisions and predictions about future price movements. For example traders will look for price movements along, and reactions to, trendlines in the form of rejections or breakouts/downs.
Inverse Head and Shoulders Patterns
Inverse head and shoulders patterns are generally characterised by three troughs with the one in the middle being the lowest of the three.
The current peak acts as neckline resistance and the trendline drawn from the preceding peak to current peak acts as dynamic neckline resistance.
Traders typically look for breakouts of Inverse head and shoulders necklines to identify potential trading opportunities, with targets and stop losses set as multiples of the pattern's range.

█ LIMITATIONS
All green and red candle calculations are based on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. This may cause some unexpected behaviour on some markets and timeframes. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with.
