VIX Bars [CrossTrade]In simple terms, this indicator colors your chart bars based on the VIX levels. We know that high volatility is unstainable and will naturally regress to a calmer market, therefore highlighting the bars where VIX is at extreme highs can sometimes indicate a market turning point. Consider pairing this indicator with my VIX Heatmap indicator for a complete picture of volatility.
Customizable VIX Levels: You can set your own thresholds for when the bars turn green or red. Green bars pop up when the VIX is above your set upper level (default is 30) - kind of like a heads-up that things might get bumpy. Red bars show up when the VIX dips below your lower threshold (default is 15), signaling calmer waters.
Optional Donchian Channel Filter: The Donchian Channel filter looks at the highest highs and lowest lows over your chosen period (default's 52 days) and only colors the bars if they match the filter's criteria. This adds an extra layer of confirmation that the colored bars at at a major high or low.
Visual Simplicity: The indicator keeps things visually straightforward. No cluttered screen, just colored bars telling you a story about market vibes. Alert come standard to signal those potential bottom or top bars based on the VIX being at your preferred extreme levels.
In essence, "VIX Bars" is like having a volatility radar on your chart. It doesn't make predictions, but it sure gives you a neat, color-coded heads-up on market sentiment. Great for adding an extra dimension to your analysis without getting all tangled up in complex indicators!

Buy-Sell Volume Bar Gauge [By MUQWISHI]▋ INTRODUCTION :
The Buy-Sell Volume Bar Gauge is developed to provide traders with a detailed analysis of volume in bars using a low timeframe, such as a 1-second interval, to measure the dominance of buy and sell for each bar. By highlighting the balance between buying and selling activities, the Buy-Sell Volume Bar Gauge helps traders identify potential volume momentum of a bar; aimed at being a useful tool for day traders and scalpers.
_______________________
▋ OVERVIEW:
_______________________
▋ METHODOLOGY:
The concept is based on bars from a lower timeframe within the current chart timeframe bar, where volume is categorized into Up, Down, and Neutral Volume, with each one displayed as a portion of a column plot. Up Volume is recorded when the price experiences a positive change, Down Volume occurs when the price experiences a negative change, and Neutral Volume is observed when the price shows no significant change.
_______________________
▋ INDICATOR SETTINGS:
(1) Fetch data from the selected lower timeframe. Note: If the selected timeframe is invalid (higher than chart), the indicator will automatically switch to 1 second.
(2) Price Source.
(3) Treating Neutral Data (Price Source) as
Neutral: In a lower timeframe, when the bar has no change in its price, the volume is counted as Neutral Volume.
Previous Move: In a lower timeframe, when the bar has no change in its price, the volume is counted as the previous change; “Up Volume” if the previous change was positive, and “Down Volume” if the previous change was negative.
Opposite Previous Move: In a lower timeframe, when the bar has no change in its price, the volume is counted as the opposite previous change; “Up Volume” if the previous change was negative, and “Down Volume” if the previous change was positive.
(4) Average Volume Length, it's used for lighting/darkening columns in a plot.
(5) Enable Alert.
(7) Total bought (%) Level.
(8) Total Sold (%) Level.
_____________________
▋ COMMENT:
The Buy-Sell Volume Bar Gauge can be taken as confirmation for predicting the next move, but it should not be considered a major factor in making a trading decision.

Abnormal Pin BarPin Bar is one of the most important candlestick patterns. Almost every time you see a pin bar, you can expect the price to turn in the opposite direction.
You should pay more attention to the abnormal ones among the pin bars. What I mean by abnormal pin bar is that the long leg is at least 3 times larger than the body.
With this indicator, you can set your own abnormal pin bar settings. The indicator will highlight abnormal pin bars according to the settings you specified.
The indicator uses the following three factors to indicate abnormal pin bar:
- Minimum body ratio in the pattern in percent
- Minimum ratio of the long shadow to the body
- Minimum ratio of the long shadow to the short shadow
Also, there is a volume strength check to confirm the pin bar. If the volume where the pin bar is formed is greater than the 20 volume average, it indicates that the pin bar is more important. Of course, confirming the pin bar with the volume is optional and you can disable it in settings if you wish.
You can use the highlights of this indicator as an entry signal if the pin bar appears at the trend key levels or in support or resistance zones.

Inside Bar Zones by AAK (V6)📦 Smart Inside Bar Zones
Smart Inside Bar Zones is a price-action–based indicator designed to automatically detect, track, and visualize inside bar consolidation zones with full historical context.
Instead of marking single inside candles, this indicator groups consecutive inside bars into structured zones, locking the original mother candle range and extending it until price breaks out. This allows traders to clearly identify areas of compression, balance, and potential expansion.
🔍 Key Features
Automatic Inside Bar Detection
Identifies inside bars using candle bodies within the mother candle range, with an optional tick buffer.
Smart Zone Creation
Consecutive inside bars are grouped into a single zone, anchored to the original mother candle.
Unlimited Historical Storage (Data)
All previous inside bar zones are stored internally, enabling long-term analysis and backtesting.
Safe & Optimized Drawing
Zones are drawn using recyclable boxes to respect TradingView object limits while maintaining performance.
Highlight Inside Bars
Optional candle coloring for quick and clear visual confirmation.
Flexible Display Options
Show only the latest zone
Or display multiple zones with automatic recycling
📈 How Traders Use It
Identify consolidation before expansion
Spot compression zones for breakout or fakeout scenarios
Combine with SMC, order flow, support & resistance, or liquidity concepts
Use higher-timeframe zones for directional bias
Use lower-timeframe zones for entries and scalps
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator does not predict direction — it highlights structure
Zones represent price balance, not buy or sell signals
Best used in confluence with your trading strategy and risk management
🧠 Designed For
Price action traders
SMC / market structure traders
Forex, crypto, indices, and futures
Any timeframe

Regular & Dollar Volume (+ projected volume, HVE, bar coloring)Regular & Dollar Volume shows standard or dollar-weighted volume with fast and slow volume averages, projected volume for the live bar, and optional high-volume and percentile spike cues. An optional bar coloring feature reflects direction and volume strength so high-participation moves stand out without clutter.
Main features
- Dollar volume option with selectable price source (Close, Open, High, Low, HL2, HLC3, OHLC4).
- Fast and slow volume averages (SMA or EMA) for quick context.
- The fast average reacts quickly to recent volume, while the slow average represents the broader baseline.
- Bars are classified based on whether volume is above both averages, below both, or between them. This gives a simple three-state read: unusually strong volume (above both), weak volume (below both), or normal (in between).
- Using two averages avoids overreacting to a single spike while still highlighting real regime shifts in participation.
- Projected volume on the active bar to estimate end-of-bar volume.
- High Volume Ever (HVE) labeling and optional HVE bar coloring .
- Optional percentile spike detection with markers, threshold line, and bar highlighting.
- Optional candle recoloring to match volume bar colors .
- Bar colors reflect both direction (up vs down) and volume strength relative to the two averages.
- This helps you spot high-participation moves at a glance and distinguish strong pushes from low-energy drift.
Inside Bar Breakout ( candlestick pattern).📌 What Is This Indicator?
BOIB Pro identifies a very strict form of inside bar:
✅ The inside bar candle’s entire range (body + wicks) must be inside the BODY of the previous candle (mother candle).
❌ If even a single wick is outside the mother body, the setup is rejected.
This filters out weak and noisy inside bars and focuses only on true compression candles.
⸻
📐 Pattern Rules (Strict)
1️⃣ Mother Candle
• The candle immediately before the inside bar
2️⃣ Body-Only Inside Bar (BOIB)
A valid BOIB must satisfy:
• Inside bar high ≤ mother candle body high
• Inside bar low ≥ mother candle body low
⚠️ Normal inside bars (inside wicks only) are ignored.
⸻
⏱️ Breakout Window Logic
After a valid BOIB forms:
• The indicator waits for the next 1 to 5 candles (user-configurable)
• Entry is triggered only if price CLOSES outside the BOIB range
✅ Long Signal
• Candle closes above BOIB high
✅ Short Signal
• Candle closes below BOIB low
If no breakout occurs within the window → setup expires automatically
⸻
🎯 Entry, Stop Loss & Take Profit Logic
Once a valid breakout/breakdown occurs, the indicator automatically draws a professional trade template:
Entry
• At the close of the breakout candle
Stop Loss
• Long → below BOIB low
• Short → above BOIB high
• Optional buffer:
• ATR-based
• Percentage-based
• Or none
Take Profits
• TP1: Risk-Reward based (default 1R)
• TP2: Extended target (default 2R)
All levels are clearly visualized using:
• Horizontal price lines
• Risk and reward boxes
• Informational labels
⸻
📊 Best Use Cases
• Crypto (BTC, ETH, major alts)
• Timeframes:
• Scalping: 5m
• Day trading: 15m / 30m
• Works best when combined with:
• Market structure
• Trend bias
• Support / resistance
⸻
⚠️ Important Notes
• This is NOT an auto-trading system
• Signals should always be used with:
• Proper risk management
• Market context
• Inside bars in sideways or low-volume markets may fail

Is it Time for a Pullback? Check Bars Since MA TestAn old market adage declares that “prices never move in a straight line.” Dips occur even in bullish markets. But how can traders know when prices may be due for a pullback?
Today’s script tries to answer that question by asking how many bars have passed since a stock, index or other symbol has tested a given moving average. Long periods of time without touching a line such as the 50-day simple moving average, for example, could prompt traders to be more patient.
Bars Since MA Test counts how many bars have passed since prices touched or crossed the MA in question. The resulting value is plotted in a simple histogram. Users can set the MA length and type. By default, it uses the 50-day simple moving average (SMA).
The chart above applies Bars Since MA Test to the S&P 500. It shows that the index has gone 129 bars without testing its 50-day SMA. That’s the longest since a 146-bar stretch between July 2006 and February 2007.
Other longer runs include January-August 1995 (156 bars), November 1960-June 1961 (144 bars) and April-November 1958 (158 bars).
Given the small number of comparable readings, could traders suspect the current advance is getting long in the tooth?

Inside Bars📌 Overview:
This indicator scans for multiple inside bars during periods of consolidation by dynamically designating a “mother bar” and then marking subsequent bars that trade entirely within its range. It includes an optional doji filter on the most recent candle, helping to confirm indecision before potential breakouts.
🛠 Key Features:
✅ Dynamic Mother Bar Identification:
The script selects a mother bar when the current bar’s range exceeds that of the previous bar. This bar sets the high and low boundaries, creating a reference zone for later price action.
Once a mother bar is defined, subsequent candles that remain completely within its high and low are flagged as inside bars.
✅ Optional Doji Check:
For added precision, an optional feature lets you verify that the most recent bar is a doji—a candle where the difference between the open and close is minimal relative to its total range. This additional filter highlights periods of market indecision, which can often precede strong directional moves.

3-Bar Low Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "3-Bar Low Strategy" is a mean-reversion strategy designed to identify potential buying opportunities when the price drops below the lowest low of the previous three bars. It enters a long position when specific conditions are met and exits when the price exceeds the highest high of the previous seven bars. This strategy is suitable for use on various timeframes.
█ WHAT IS THE 3-BAR LOW?
The 3-Bar Low is the lowest price observed over the last three bars. This level is used as a reference to identify potential oversold conditions and reversal points.
█ WHAT IS THE 7-BAR HIGH?
The 7-Bar High is the highest price observed over the last seven bars. This level is used as a reference to identify potential overbought conditions and exit points.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. LONG ENTRY
A Buy Signal is triggered when:
The close price is below the lowest low of the previous three bars (`close < _lowest `).
The signal occurs within the specified time window (between `Start Time` and `End Time`).
If the EMA Filter is enabled, the close price must also be above the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
2. EXIT CONDITION
A Sell Signal is generated when the current closing price exceeds the highest high of the previous seven bars (`close > _highest `). This indicates that the price has shown strength, potentially confirming the reversal and prompting the strategy to exit the position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
MA Period: The lookback period for the 200-period EMA used in the EMA Filter. Default is 200.
Use EMA Filter: Enables or disables the EMA Filter for long entries. Default is disabled.
Start Time and End Time: The time window during which the strategy is allowed to execute trades.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for mean-reverting markets and performs best when the price frequently oscillates around key support and resistance levels.
It is sensitive to oversold conditions, as indicated by the 3-Bar Low, and overbought conditions, as indicated by the 7-Bar High.
Backtesting results should be analyzed to optimize the MA Period and EMA Filter settings for specific instruments.

Pivot Highs/Lows with Bar CountsWhat does the indicator do?
This indicator adds labels to a chart at swing (a.k.a., "pivot") highs and lows. Each label may contain a date, the closing price at the swing, the number of bars since the last swing in the same direction, and the number of bars from the last swing in the opposite direction. A table is also added to the chart that shows the average, min, and max number of bars between swings.
OK, but how do I use it?
Many markets -- especially sideways-moving ones -- commonly cycle between swing highs and lows at regular time intervals. By measuring the number of bars between highs and lows -- both same-sided swings (i.e., H-H and L-L) and opposite-sided swings (i.e., H-L and L-H) -- you can then project the averages of those bar counts from the last high or low swing to make predictions about where the next swing high or low should occur. Note that this indicator does not make the projection for you. You have to determine which swing you want to project from and then use the bar counts from the indicator to draw a line, place a label, etc.
Example: Chart of BTC/USD
The indicator shows pivot highs and lows with bar counts, and it displays a table of stats on those pivots.
If you focus on the center section of the chart, you can see that prices were moving in a sideways channel with very regular highs and lows. This indicator counts the bars between these pivots, and you could have used those counts to predict when the next high or low may have occurred.
The bar counts do not work as well on the more recent section of the chart because there are no regularly time swings.
LBR-Volatility Breakout BarsThe originator of this script is Linda Raschke of LBR Group.
This Pine Script code is the version 5 of LBR Paintbars for TradingView, called "LBR-Bars." It was originally coded for TradingView in version 3 by LazyBear. It is a complex indicator that combines various features such as coloring bars based on different conditions, displaying Keltner channels, and showing volatility lines.
Let me break down the key components and explain how it works:
1. Inputs Section: This section defines various input parameters that users can adjust when adding the indicator to their charts. These parameters allow users to customize the behavior and appearance of the indicator. Here are some of the key input parameters:
- Users can control whether to color bars under different conditions. For example,
they can choose to color LBR bars, color bars above/below Kelts, or color non-LBR
bars.
- Users can choose whether to show volatility lines or shade Keltner channels' area
with the Mid being the moving average on the chart.
- In the calculation of Keltner channels, users can set the length of the moving
average that the Keltner channels use as the mid and then set the Keltner multiplier.
If users want to use "True Range" to determine calculations, they can turn it on or
off; it defaults to off.
- Users can change the calculation of volatility lines and set the length for finding the
lowest and highest prices. The user sets the ATR length and multiplier for the ATR.
2. Calculation Section: This section defines the calculation of the upper and lower standard deviation bands based on the input parameters. It uses Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and optionally True Range to calculate these bands if turned on. These bands are used in the Keltner channel calculation.
3. Keltner Channel Section: This section calculates the upper, middle, and lower lines of the Keltner channels. It also plots these lines on the chart. The colors and visibility of these lines are controlled by user inputs.
4. Volatility Lines Section: This section calculates the upper and lower volatility lines based on the lowest and highest prices over a specified period and the ATR. It also checks whether the current close price is above or below these lines accordingly. The colors and visibility of these lines are controlled by user inputs.
5. Bar Colors Section: This section determines the color of the bars on the chart based on various conditions. It checks whether the current bar meets conditions like being an LBR bar, being above or below volatility lines, or being in "No Man's Land." The color of the bars is set accordingly based on user inputs.
This Pine Script creates an indicator that provides visual cues on the chart based on Keltner channels, volatility lines, and other customizable conditions. Users can adjust the input parameters to tailor the indicator's behavior and appearance to their trading preferences.
