Bearish Butterfly Harmonic Patterns [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically draws bearish butterfly harmonic 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.
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.
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.
Muti-Part Upper and Lower Trends
• A multi-part return line uptrend begins with the formation of a new return line uptrend, or higher peak, and continues until a new downtrend, or lower peak, completes the trend.
• A multi-part downtrend begins with the formation of a new downtrend, or lower peak, and continues until a new return line uptrend, or higher peak, completes the trend.
• A multi-part uptrend begins with the formation of a new uptrend, or higher trough, and continues until a new return line downtrend, or lower trough, completes the trend.
• A multi-part return line downtrend begins with the formation of a new return line downtrend, or lower trough, and continues until a new uptrend, or higher trough, completes the trend.
Wave Cycles
A wave cycle is here defined as a complete two-part move between a swing high and a swing low, or a swing low and a swing high. The first swing high or swing low will set the course for the sequence of wave cycles that follow; for example a chart that begins with a swing low will form its first complete wave cycle upon the formation of the first complete swing high and vice versa.

Fibonacci Retracement and Extension Ratios
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers, starting with 0 and 1. For example 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, and so on. Ultimately, we could go on forever but the first few numbers in the sequence are as follows: 0 , 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.
The extension ratios are calculated by dividing each number in the sequence by the number preceding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 2/1 = 2, 3/2 = 1.5, 5/3 = 1.6666..., 8/5 = 1.6, 13/8 = 1.625, 21/13 = 1.6153..., 34/21 = 1.6190..., 55/34 = 1.6176..., 89/55 = 1.6181..., 144/89 = 1.6179..., and so on. The retracement ratios are calculated by inverting this process and dividing each number in the sequence by the number proceeding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 1/2 = 0.5, 2/3 = 0.666..., 3/5 = 0.6, 5/8 = 0.625, 8/13 = 0.6153..., 13/21 = 0.6190..., 21/34 = 0.6176..., 34/55 = 0.6181..., 55/89 = 0.6179..., 89/144 = 0.6180..., and so on.
1.618 is considered to be the 'golden ratio', found in many natural phenomena such as the growth of seashells and the branching of trees. Some now speculate the universe oscillates at a frequency of 0,618 Hz, which could help to explain such phenomena, but this theory has yet to be proven.
Traders and analysts use Fibonacci retracement and extension indicators, consisting of horizontal lines representing different Fibonacci ratios, for identifying potential levels of support and resistance. Fibonacci ranges are typically drawn from left to right, with retracement levels representing ratios inside of the current range and extension levels representing ratios extended outside of the current range. If the current wave cycle ends on a swing low, the Fibonacci range is drawn from peak to trough. If the current wave cycle ends on a swing high the Fibonacci range is drawn from trough to peak.
Harmonic Patterns
The concept of harmonic patterns in trading was first introduced by H.M. Gartley in his book "Profits in the Stock Market", published in 1935. Gartley observed that markets have a tendency to move in repetitive patterns, and he identified several specific patterns that he believed could be used to predict future price movements.
Since then, many other traders and analysts have built upon Gartley's work and developed their own variations of harmonic patterns. One such contributor is Larry Pesavento, who developed his own methods for measuring harmonic patterns using Fibonacci ratios. Pesavento has written several books on the subject of harmonic patterns and Fibonacci ratios in trading. Another notable contributor to harmonic patterns is Scott Carney, who developed his own approach to harmonic trading in the late 1990s and also popularised the use of Fibonacci ratios to measure harmonic patterns. Carney expanded on Gartley's work and also introduced several new harmonic patterns, such as the Shark pattern and the 5-0 pattern.
The bullish and bearish Gartley patterns are the oldest recognized harmonic patterns in trading and all the other harmonic patterns are ultimately modifications of the original Gartley patterns. Gartley patterns are fundamentally composed of 5 points, or 4 waves.
Bullish and Bearish Butterfly Patterns
• Bullish butterfly patterns are fundamentally composed of two peaks and three troughs, with the second peak being lower than the first peak. And the third trough being lower than both the second and first troughs, while the second trough is higher than the first.
• Bearish butterfly patterns are fundamentally composed of two troughs and three peaks, with the second trough being higher than the first trough. And the third peak being higher than both the second and first peaks, while the second peak is lower than the first.
The most commonly recognised ratio measurements used by traders today are as follows:
• Wave 1 of the pattern, generally referred to as XA, has no specific ratio requirements.
• Wave 2 of the pattern, generally referred to as AB, should retrace by 78.6% of the range set by wave 1.
• Wave 3 of the pattern, generally referred to as BC, should retrace by at least 38.2%, but no further than 88.6% of the range set by wave 2.
• Wave 4 of the pattern, generally referred to as CD, should extend to at least 161.8%, but no further than 261.8% of the range set by wave 3.
• The last measure, generally referred to as AD, is that of wave 4 as a ratio of the range set by wave 1, which should extend to 127%.
Measurement Tolerances
In general, tolerance in measurements refers to the allowable variation or deviation from a specific value or dimension. It is the range within which a particular measurement is considered to be acceptable or accurate. In this script I have applied this concept to the measurement of harmonic pattern ratios to increase to the frequency of pattern occurrences.
For example, the AB measurement of Gartley patterns is generally set at around 61.8%, but with such specificity in the measuring requirements the patterns are very rare. We can increase the frequency of pattern occurrences by setting a tolerance. A tolerance of 10% to both downside and upside, which is the default setting for all tolerances, means we would have a tolerable measurement range between 51.8-71.8%, thus increasing the frequency of occurrence.

█ 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.

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.
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.
Muti-Part Upper and Lower Trends
• A multi-part return line uptrend begins with the formation of a new return line uptrend, or higher peak, and continues until a new downtrend, or lower peak, completes the trend.
• A multi-part downtrend begins with the formation of a new downtrend, or lower peak, and continues until a new return line uptrend, or higher peak, completes the trend.
• A multi-part uptrend begins with the formation of a new uptrend, or higher trough, and continues until a new return line downtrend, or lower trough, completes the trend.
• A multi-part return line downtrend begins with the formation of a new return line downtrend, or lower trough, and continues until a new uptrend, or higher trough, completes the trend.
Wave Cycles
A wave cycle is here defined as a complete two-part move between a swing high and a swing low, or a swing low and a swing high. The first swing high or swing low will set the course for the sequence of wave cycles that follow; for example a chart that begins with a swing low will form its first complete wave cycle upon the formation of the first complete swing high and vice versa.

Fibonacci Retracement and Extension Ratios
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers, starting with 0 and 1. For example 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, and so on. Ultimately, we could go on forever but the first few numbers in the sequence are as follows: 0 , 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.
The extension ratios are calculated by dividing each number in the sequence by the number preceding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 2/1 = 2, 3/2 = 1.5, 5/3 = 1.6666..., 8/5 = 1.6, 13/8 = 1.625, 21/13 = 1.6153..., 34/21 = 1.6190..., 55/34 = 1.6176..., 89/55 = 1.6181..., 144/89 = 1.6179..., and so on. The retracement ratios are calculated by inverting this process and dividing each number in the sequence by the number proceeding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 1/2 = 0.5, 2/3 = 0.666..., 3/5 = 0.6, 5/8 = 0.625, 8/13 = 0.6153..., 13/21 = 0.6190..., 21/34 = 0.6176..., 34/55 = 0.6181..., 55/89 = 0.6179..., 89/144 = 0.6180..., and so on.
1.618 is considered to be the 'golden ratio', found in many natural phenomena such as the growth of seashells and the branching of trees. Some now speculate the universe oscillates at a frequency of 0,618 Hz, which could help to explain such phenomena, but this theory has yet to be proven.
Traders and analysts use Fibonacci retracement and extension indicators, consisting of horizontal lines representing different Fibonacci ratios, for identifying potential levels of support and resistance. Fibonacci ranges are typically drawn from left to right, with retracement levels representing ratios inside of the current range and extension levels representing ratios extended outside of the current range. If the current wave cycle ends on a swing low, the Fibonacci range is drawn from peak to trough. If the current wave cycle ends on a swing high the Fibonacci range is drawn from trough to peak.
Harmonic Patterns
The concept of harmonic patterns in trading was first introduced by H.M. Gartley in his book "Profits in the Stock Market", published in 1935. Gartley observed that markets have a tendency to move in repetitive patterns, and he identified several specific patterns that he believed could be used to predict future price movements. The bullish and bearish Gartley patterns are the oldest recognized harmonic patterns in trading and all the other harmonic patterns are modifications of the original Gartley patterns. Gartley patterns are fundamentally composed of 5 points, or 4 waves.
Since then, many other traders and analysts have built upon Gartley's work and developed their own variations of harmonic patterns. One such contributor is Larry Pesavento, who developed his own methods for measuring harmonic patterns using Fibonacci ratios. Pesavento has written several books on the subject of harmonic patterns and Fibonacci ratios in trading. Another notable contributor to harmonic patterns is Scott Carney, who developed his own approach to harmonic trading in the late 1990s and also popularised the use of Fibonacci ratios to measure harmonic patterns. Carney expanded on Gartley's work and also introduced several new harmonic patterns, such as the Shark pattern and the 5-0 pattern.
Bullish and Bearish Gartley Patterns
• Bullish Gartley patterns are fundamentally composed of three troughs and two peaks, with the second peak being lower than the first peak and the third trough being lower than the second but higher than the first.
• Bearish Gartley patterns are fundamentally composed of three peaks and two troughs, with the second trough being higher than the first trough and the third peak being higher than the second but lower than the first.
The most commonly recognised ratio measurements used by traders today are as follows:
• Wave 1 of the pattern, generally referred to as XA, has no specific ratio requirements.
• Wave 2 of the pattern, generally referred to as AB, should retrace to 61.8% of the range set by wave 1.
• Wave 3 of the pattern, generally referred to as BC, should retrace by at least 38.2%, but no further than 88.6% of the range set by wave 2.
• Wave 4 of the pattern, generally referred to as CD, should extend to at least 127.2%, but no further than 161.8% of the range set by wave 3.
• The last measure, generally referred to as AD, is that of wave 4 as a ratio of the range set by wave 1, which should retrace to 78.6%.
Measurement Tolerances
In general, tolerance in measurements refers to the allowable variation or deviation from a specific value or dimension. It is the range within which a particular measurement is considered to be acceptable or accurate. In this script I have introduced the concept of measurement tolerances to harmonic pattern identification.
For example, the AB measurement of Gartley patterns is generally set at around 61.8%, but with such specificity in the measuring requirements the patterns are very rare. We can increase the frequency of pattern occurrences by setting a tolerance. A tolerance of 10% to both downside and upside, for example, means we would have a tolerable measurement range between 51.8-71.8%, thus increasing the frequency of occurrence.

█ 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.
((Bearish)) Candle Above EMASGood Morning from the UK.
Todays script is a simple vieweing of when candles close above a certain moving average - when the market is bearish conditions - candle which close above the moving average can be viewed as a bearish signal along with confluences such as price action. This script is best on the Daily and we can expect big price moves away from this area.
The below example, we have a bearish set up with a break of trendline and then a break of a base which would 1) strong area as price is unlikely to go past this area which would make this a supply zone.
This was then followed by the signal of the candle closing above the 100ema and the 50ema.
The script is likened to my one of my previous scripts which portrays the bullish ema candle closes.
I will be making a price action publish soon if that is of interest to the public.

Let me introduce my Bearish Harami automatic finding script.
This is a bearish reversal pattern formed by two candlesticks in which a short
real body is contained within the prior session's long real body. Usually the
second real body is the opposite color of the first real body. The Harami pattern
is the reverse of the Engulfing pattern.
This pattern marked as yellow.

Bulls vs Bears % TableBulls vs Bears % Box
What it does
Shows a compact on-chart box with the percentage of volume attributed to Bulls vs Bears over a window you choose. It’s a fast market-internals glance to gauge who’s in control right now.
What’s original/useful
Configurable inference: choose how “bull/bear” is defined (Tick-Rule, Candle Body, Heikin-Ashi Body, or VWAP comparison).
Flexible windowing: Session (RTH) reset or Rolling N bars—match your intraday workflow.
Clean UI: tiny table with custom colors and nine anchor placements; designed to overlay any layout without clutter.
How it works (simple)
For each bar, the script infers direction with one of four rules and assigns that bar’s volume to Bulls or Bears:
Tick-Rule (close vs previous close) – responsive in chop (default).
Body (close vs open) – classic candle color approach.
Heikin-Ashi Body – smoother trend read using HA open/close.
VWAP (close vs VWAP) – bull if the bar closes above VWAP, bear if below.
Optional: doji split 50/50. The box displays the Bull % and Bear % of the accumulated window.
Settings
Window: Session (RTH) with editable hours/days, or Rolling N bars.
Direction Rule: Tick-Rule, Body, Heikin-Ashi Body, or VWAP.
Doji Handling: Split doji volume 50/50 (on/off).
Placement: 9 anchors (Top/Middle/Bottom × Left/Center/Right).
Colors: Header, background, border, and dominant/sub text colors for Bulls/Bears.
How to read it
Bulls % > Bears % → buyer dominance; continuation more likely.
Bears % > Bulls % → seller dominance; watch for rallies to fail.
Extreme imbalance (e.g., >60–70% one side) → strong push but also pullback risk as the move matures.
Limitations & transparency
Uses volume-based inference, not true bid/ask delta (TradingView does not expose tape-level buy/sell splits).
Results vary by rule/window; pick one and stay consistent for your playbook.
No forward-looking data; no lookahead is used. This is not a signal generator or a strategy.
Best practices
Index futures/indices intraday: Session (RTH) + Tick-Rule is a solid default.
Trend days: try Heikin-Ashi Body for smoother dominance.
Mean-reversion: watch for extremes reverting toward balance.

Further reading for indicator logic:
The estimated target price shown in the floating sentiment tag (the box in the top-right of the chart) is not a fixed level — it moves higher or lower dynamically depending on both the current sentiment strength and the historical lookback context, even when the sentiment appears to contradict the price direction.
Here’s how the system can project a price higher during a bearish phase, or lower during a bullish phase — based on the lookback period acting as an “anchor of realism”:
Core Mechanism: Sentiment Drives Direction, Lookback Caps Extremes
1. Sentiment Index (from MA, RSI, volume, AAI, indices, etc.)
→ Determines bullish vs bearish bias and strength (mild/strong).
2. Target Base Price
→ Usually the prior close, but can be influenced by supply/demand zones.
3. Multiplier Factor
→ A small percentage (target_factor) is scaled by sentiment magnitude and directional magnifiers (bullish vs bearish).
4. Lookback Period (via Adaptive Range Lines)
→ Defines realistic high/low boundaries over recent price action (either fixed bars or peak-anchored).
How a Bearish Sentiment Can Still Project Higher Price
Even when overall sentiment is bearish, the system checks historical range:
• If price is already near or below the lower adaptive range line (from lookback),
• The model assumes downside is exhausted.
• Even with bearish signals, it limits further downside and may project up toward the strike price as a mean-reversion target.
Result: Bearish reading → but estimated target is above current price
Because the lookback says: “We’re already at extremes — bounce likely.”
How a Bullish Sentiment Can Project Lower Price
Conversely, during strong bullish sentiment:
• If price is near or above the upper adaptive range line,
• The system recognizes overextension.
• It caps upside and projects a pullback target downward, even if sentiment is green.
Result: Bullish reading → but estimated target is below current price
Because lookback says: “Too far, too fast — correction expected.”
→ Even if sentiment says “MILD BEARISH”,
→ If price is deep in the lower range, the ▲ points up to a realistic recovery level.
Or:
→ Even if sentiment says “STRONG BULLISH”,
→ If price is at peak resistance, the ▼ points down to a probable retracement.
Why This Happens: Sentiment ≠ Blind Trend-Following
• Sentiment = current momentum & conviction
• Lookback range = context of valuation & volatility
• Target price = where momentum meets realism
The system blends aggressive sentiment with conservative anchoring, preventing absurd projections.
This creates intelligent, context-aware targets — not just trend-chasing arrows.
the PoS (Probability of Success) trend lines broadly use the same reverse logic as the estimated target price in the floating box.
They are not purely driven by AAI or sentiment strength alone.
They are context-aware, and price location within the adaptive range plays a central role — just like in the estimated strike price box logic.
Manipulation Model [FB]GENERAL OVERVIEW:
The Manipulation Model indicator is a complete rule-based system that identifies and confirms setups from the Funded Brothers Manipulation Model. It detects large impulsive candles, called Manipulation Candles and Almost Manipulation Candles, that form around key market levels such as session highs/lows, daily, weekly, and monthly levels, or higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). Using this structure, the indicator automatically marks long, short, bulltrap, and beartrap setups with predefined entry, stop loss, and take profit areas.
This indicator was developed by Flux Charts in collaboration with the Funded Brothers.
ATTRIBUTION NOTICE:
This indicator incorporates concepts and source code from the indicator “MCs with Alerts” authored by @hamza_xau on TradingView. We have received full written permission from the original author to use and commercialize this code within this invite-only script.
Original script: MCs with Alerts:
What is the purpose of the indicator?:
The indicator automates detection of the Manipulation Model trading strategy setups by combining candle structure, key levels, session timing, and higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps. It removes discretion by enforcing fixed conditions for valid signals and automatically managing entry, stop-loss, and take-profit logic.
What is the theory behind the indicator?:
The indicator is built on how price interacts with major reference points such as session highs and lows, or daily and weekly levels. These levels are commonly referenced in technical analysis as areas where price previously reversed or consolidated. Manipulation Candles identify moments when price breaks past these reference points on both sides of the prior candle before closing firmly in one direction. When these candles form near higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps, it reflects price reacting inside an area that previously showed directional imbalance. The higher timeframe EMA filter aligns all detected setups with the broader market trend, allowing only signals that match the dominant direction.

MANIPULATION CANDLESTICKS:
Manipulation Candlesticks (MCs) are candles that sweep both sides of the previous candle’s range and close outside of it. In the Manipulation Model indicator, these candles form the foundation for the long/short setups. Once one forms, the indicator checks its position relative to sessions, key levels, and higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps to determine if a valid setup exists.
🔹What is a Manipulation Candlestick?
A Manipulation Candlestick (MC) is defined by structure rather than size. It forms when price takes out both the high and low of the previous candle, then closes outside that range.
A bullish Manipulation Candle occurs when price sweeps below the previous candle’s low and then closes above the previous candle’s high.
A bearish Manipulation Candle occurs when price sweeps above the previous candle’s high and then closes below the previous candle’s low.
🔹How to interpret and use Manipulation Candlesticks:
Manipulation Candlesticks show where price made a strong one-sided move after taking both sides of the previous candle’s range. When one forms, it marks an area where buyers or sellers were likely trapped as price moved aggressively in one direction.
A bullish MC shows strong buying after a false move lower. Price sweeps below the prior low, takes out the prior high, and closes above the previous range, confirming buyers are in control.
A bearish MC shows strong selling after a false move higher than the previous candle’s high. Price sweeps above the prior high, drops below the prior low, and closes beneath the previous range, confirming sellers are dominant.
🔹How Manipulation Candlesticks are identified:
The indicator confirms Manipulation Candles using three filters once a candle closes:
Sweep Condition:
Price must take both sides of the previous candle’s range, moving above its high and below its low, before closing outside that range.
Directional Close:
A bullish MC must close above the previous high, and a bearish MC must close below the previous low.
Wick Confirmation:
A bullish MC must have a smaller upper wick (high - close) than lower wick (open - low), and a bearish MC must have a smaller lower wick (close - low) than upper wick (high - open).
Once these conditions are met at candle close, it is confirmed as a bullish or bearish Manipulation Candle.
🔹Bullish Manipulation Candle
A bullish Manipulation Candle forms when price sweeps below the previous candle’s low, then breaks above its high, and closes above it. The lower wick must be larger than the upper wick, showing little pullback as price pushed upward and confirming strong buying pressure.
🔹Bearish Manipulation Candle
A bearish Manipulation Candle forms when price sweeps above the previous candle’s high, then drops below its low, and closes beneath it. The upper wick must be larger than the lower wick, showing little pullback as price moved downward and confirming strong selling pressure.
🔹Manipulation Candle Visuals
When the indicator detects a Manipulation Candle, it automatically changes the candle’s color on the chart. Both bullish and bearish Manipulation Candles use the same color. Users can change this color in the settings by adjusting the “Manipulation Candlestick” option found under the “Style Customization” section.
The candle coloring feature can also be turned off entirely, which only removes the visual highlight from the chart and does not affect the signals or any of the indicator’s underlying logic that uses Manipulation Candlesticks.
ALMOST MANIPULATION CANDLESTICKS:
Almost Manipulation Candlesticks (AMCs) are similar to Manipulation Candles, except they close inside the previous candle’s range instead of outside it. In the Manipulation Model indicator, these candles help identify when price is showing the same sweeping behavior but hasn’t yet confirmed full displacement. They act as early warnings that a manipulation event may be developing. Just like Manipulation Candles, the indicator checks an AMC’s position relative to sessions, key levels, and higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps to determine if a valid setup exists.
🔹What is an Almost Manipulation Candlestick?
An Almost Manipulation Candlestick (AMC) forms when price sweeps both the high and low of the previous candle and closes inside that candle’s range.
A bullish AMC occurs when price sweeps below the previous low, moves above the previous high, and closes within the previous candle’s body instead of above it.
A bearish AMC occurs when price sweeps above the previous high, drops below the previous low, and closes within the previous candle’s body instead of beneath it.
🔹How to Interpret and Use Almost Manipulation Candlesticks:
Almost Manipulation Candles highlight hesitation or early signs of manipulation.
A bullish AMC indicates buyers pushed price up after sweeping lower, but price did not close decisively above the prior high.
A bearish AMC indicates sellers pushed price down after sweeping higher, but price did not close decisively below the prior low.
🔹How Almost Manipulation Candlesticks are identified:
The indicator confirms Almost Manipulation Candles using the same sweep and wick logic as Manipulation Candles, except the candle’s close must remain inside the previous candle’s range:
Sweep Condition:
Price must take both sides of the previous candle’s range, moving above its high and below its low.
Candle Close Location:
The candle’s close must stay within the prior candle’s range.
Wick Confirmation:
For a bullish AMC, the lower wick must be larger than the upper wick. For a bearish AMC, the upper wick must be larger than the lower wick.
Once these conditions are met at candle close, it is confirmed as a bullish or bearish Almost Manipulation Candle.
🔹Bullish Almost Manipulation Candle
A bullish AMC forms when price sweeps below the previous candle’s low, moves above the prior candle’s high, and closes back inside the previous candle’s range. The lower wick must be larger than the upper wick, showing that buyers defended lower prices but the move did not close decisively upward.
🔹Bearish Almost Manipulation Candle
A bearish AMC forms when price sweeps above the previous candle’s high, drops below the previous candle’s low, and closes back inside the previous candle’s range. The upper wick must be larger than the lower wick, showing that sellers rejected higher prices but the candle did not close decisively lower.
🔹Almost Manipulation Candle Visuals
When the indicator detects an Almost Manipulation Candle, it automatically changes the candle’s color on the chart. Both bullish and bearish Almost Manipulation Candles use the same color. Users can change this color in the settings by adjusting the “Almost Manipulation Candlestick” option found under the “Style Customization” section.
The candle coloring feature can also be turned off entirely, which only removes the visual highlight from the chart and does not affect the signals or any of the indicator’s underlying logic that uses Almost Manipulation Candlesticks.
HIGHER TIMEFRAME FAIR VALUE GAPS:
The Manipulation Model indicator automatically plots Fair Value Gaps from two user-selected higher timeframes.
🔹What is a Fair Value Gap?:
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is an area where the market’s perception of fair value suddenly changes. On your chart, it appears as a three-candle pattern: a large candle in the middle, with smaller candles on each side that don’t fully overlap it. A bullish FVG forms when a bullish candle is between two smaller bullish/bearish candles, where the first and third candles’ wicks don’t overlap each other at all. A bearish FVG forms when a bearish candle is between two smaller bullish/bearish candles, where the first and third candles’ wicks don’t overlap each other at all.
Bullish & Bearish FVGs:
🔹Why are Fair Value Gaps important?:
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) show where price moved so quickly that one side of the market never got a chance to trade. They represent sudden shifts in what traders believe something is worth, where “fair value” changed. When a large candle drives straight through an area without overlap from the candles before and after it, it means buyers or sellers were so aggressive that the market skipped that price zone entirely.
These gaps matter because they mark the moment when confidence in price changes. If price rallies and never pulls back, it signals that traders accept the new higher prices as fair and are willing to keep buying there. The same logic applies in reverse for bearish gaps. They tell you where the market re-priced aggressively and where value was last accepted.
🔹How are Fair Value Gaps used?:
Higher Timeframe FVGs are used as a confluence for all setups within the Manipulation Model indicator. The indicator automatically detects and plots these imbalances from the chosen higher timeframe onto the current chart. When a Manipulation or Almost Manipulation Candle forms near or inside a higher timeframe Fair Value Gap, it adds context to the setup. They are not trade signals by themselves but act as a supporting element that contextualizes setups.
🔹When are Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gaps mitigated?
A Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gap is considered mitigated when the selected higher timeframe closes above the gap for a bearish FVG or below the gap for a bullish FVG.
🔹Higher Timeframe FVG Settings:
Timeframe 1 / Timeframe 2:
Select up to two higher timeframes to use for Fair Value Gaps. Disabling either one removes it visually from the chart but does not affect signal generation. However, the timeframes you select will be used for signal generation logic.
For example, if you select the 1-hour and 4-hour timeframes, then the 1-hour and 4-hour FVGs will be used for signal generation logic, which is explained in the signals section below.
Combine Zones:
When enabled, overlapping FVGs on the same higher timeframe are merged into a single zone. This keeps the chart clean and prevents duplicate zones from displaying.
Midline:
Adds a center line through each higher timeframe FVG.
Labels:
Displays a “ FVG” label beside each zone. This helps users see which timeframe the FVG is detected from.
Color Customization:
Each timeframe has separate color settings for bullish and bearish FVGs. Users can adjust these colors independently for both timeframes to fit their chart layout.
FVG Display Limit:
Controls how many higher timeframe FVGs are shown at once. Only the nearest X active gaps to current price will appear, helping maintain a clear view of relevant imbalances.
SESSIONS:
The Manipulation Model indicator includes six customizable trading sessions: Asia, London, NY AM, NYSE, London Close, and NY PM. All session times and visuals are fully user-configurable. Each session has adjustable start and end times that can be set to match your preferred schedule. Users can also customize visuals for each session, including the color, opacity, and visibility of session zones.
Session highs and lows are automatically tracked and used within the indicator’s signal logic. When a Manipulation or Almost Manipulation Candle forms near a session high or low, it is recognized within the indicator’s signal detection.
Default times used for each session (in EST):
Asia: 20:00 - 00:00
London: 02:00 - 05:00
NY AM: 08:00 - 09:30
NYSE: 09:30 - 10:00
London Close: 10:00 - 11:00
NY PM: 11:00 - 14:00
🔹Session Settings:
Session Boxes:
Each session has a box that outlines its active time window. These boxes can be toggled on or off independently. When active, they visually separate each part of the trading day. Users can adjust the color and opacity of each session box.
Session Highs/Lows:
Every session can display its own high and low as horizontal lines. Users can customize the line style for session highs/lows, choosing between solid, dashed, or dotted. The color of the lines will match the same color used for the session box.
Labels and Price Display:
Labels can be toggled on for all session highs and lows. Users can adjust label color, text size, and choose whether to show the price next to the label. Users can adjust the text size, choosing between tiny, small, normal, large, and huge.
Extend Levels:
When enabled, each session’s high and low levels can be extended forward by a set number of bars.
Session Titles:
Titles for each enabled session (e.g., “Asia,” “London,” “NY AM”) can be displayed directly on the chart.
Show Last:
The “Show Last” setting allows you to choose how many recent sessions of each type appear on the chart. For example, if you only have the Asia session enabled and have this setting set to 2, the recent two Asia sessions will be displayed.
🔹Sessions Used
Under the “Sessions Used” section in the settings, users can choose which sessions are active for signal generation. Only sessions enabled here will produce signals. For example, if you want setups to form only during the London session, turn off all other sessions in this section.
Disabling a session under the main Sessions section only hides its visuals (boxes, lines, or labels). It does not impact signal detection or logic. However, changing a session’s start and end time in either section will affect signals, since signals are tied to the exact session windows defined by the user. This distinction ensures you have full control over what’s displayed visually versus what contributes to active trade signal logic.
Please Note: Signals are only detected and plotted on your chart during sessions. Signals can not be detected outside of session time windows.
KEY LEVELS:
The Manipulation Model indicator includes 10 key market levels that outline important structural price areas across daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes. These levels include the Daily Open, Previous Day High/Low, Weekly Open, Previous Week High/Low, Monthly Open, Previous Month High/Low, and Midnight Open. The levels can be enabled or disabled and customized in color and line style. These levels are used for the indicator’s signal logic.
🔹Daily Open
The Daily Open marks where the current trading day began.
🔹Previous Day High/Low
The Previous Day High (PDH) marks the highest price reached during the previous regular trading session. It shows where buyers pushed price to its highest point before the market closed. This value is automatically pulled from the daily chart and projected forward onto intraday timeframes.
The Previous Day Low (PDL) marks the lowest price reached during the previous regular trading session. It shows where selling pressure reached its lowest point before buyers stepped in. Like the PDH, this level is retrieved from the prior day’s data and extended into the current session.
🔹Weekly Open
The Weekly Open marks the first price of the current trading week.
🔹Previous Week High/Low
The Previous Week High (PWH) marks the highest price reached during the previous trading week. It shows where buying pressure reached its peak before the weekly close. This value is automatically pulled from the weekly chart and extended forward into the current week for easy reference on intraday timeframes.
The Previous Week Low (PWL) marks the lowest price reached during the previous trading week. It shows where sellers pushed price to its lowest point before buyers regained control. Like the PWH, this level is sourced from the prior week’s data and projected onto the current week’s chart.
🔹Monthly Open
The Monthly Open marks the opening price of the current month.
🔹Previous Month High/Low
The Previous Month High (PMH) marks the highest price reached during the previous calendar month. It represents the point at which buyers achieved the strongest push before the monthly close. This level is automatically retrieved from the monthly chart and extended into the new month on all lower timeframes.
The Previous Month Low (PML) marks the lowest price reached during the previous calendar month. It shows where selling pressure was strongest before buyers stepped back in. Like the PMH, this value is pulled from the prior month’s data and extended into the new month on all lower timeframes.
🔹Midnight Open
The Midnight Open marks the first price of the trading day at 00:00 EST.
🔹Customization Options:
Users can fully customize the appearance of all key levels, including the following:
Daily Levels: Daily Open, PDH, and PDL
Weekly Levels: Weekly Open, PWH, and PWL
Monthly Levels: Monthly Open, PMH, and PML
Midnight Open
Color Settings:
Each group of levels (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) shares a single color for the Open, High, and Low lines. For example, the Daily Open, PDH, and PDL all use the same color. Colors can be changed for each group, but not for individual levels within the same group.
Line Style:
Users can select a global line style, choosing between solid, dashed, or dotted, for all Daily, Weekly, and Monthly levels. This style applies to all levels within those groups. For example, the Weekly Open, PWH, and PWL must all share the same line style.
The Midnight Open has its own independent line style setting and can use a different style from the other key levels.
Show Labels:
When enabled, text labels appear to the right of each key level. Users can adjust label color, but only one label color is applied to all levels for consistency.
🔹Key Levels Used:
Under the “Key Levels Used” section, users can choose which Key Levels and Session Levels (Session Highs/Lows) are factored into signal generation. Only levels enabled here are considered within the logic that confirms setups.
Users can choose between the following levels:
Daily Open
Previous Day High/Low
Weekly Open
Previous Week High/Low
Monthly Open
Previous Month High/Low
Asia Session High/Low
London Session High/Low
NY AM Session High/Low
NY Lunch Session High/Low
NY PM Session High/Low
London Close Session High/Low
Midnight Open
For example, if you only want to see setups that form using the Daily and Weekly levels, you should only enable the Daily Open, Previous Day High/Low, Weekly Open, and Previous Week High/Low.
Disabling a level in the main “Key Levels” section only hides its visuals, while disabling it in “Key Levels Used” removes it entirely from the signal logic. Adjusting or removing any level in this section directly affects how setups are detected since the indicator references these levels when confirming Long, Short, Bulltrap, and Beartrap setups.
SIGNALS:
The Manipulation Model indicator automatically identifies Long, Short, Bulltrap, and Beartrap setups based on the interaction between Manipulation Candles (MCs), Almost Manipulation Candles (AMCs), and two main entry conditions: Key Levels and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
Each signal type uses the structure of a Manipulation or Almost Manipulation Candle as its foundation. When one of these candles forms and aligns with the entry conditions, the indicator automatically plots labels for an entry, stop loss (SL), and take profit (TP). Every signal follows a mechanical set of rules and is marked in real time. Once confirmed on a candle close, the signal remains fixed on the chart and does not repaint.
🔹Higher Timeframe Bias Filter
Before a signal is generated, the indicator automatically determines directional bias using the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the 1-hour timeframe.
If price is above the 50 EMA, only bullish setups are allowed.
If price is below the 50 EMA, only bearish setups are allowed.
🔹Stop Loss and Take Profit Logic:
For every setup, the stop loss is placed at the low of the Manipulation or Almost Manipulation Candle for bullish setups, and at the high for bearish setups. The take profit is automatically calculated at a 1:1 risk-to-reward ratio relative to that distance.
Users can adjust both the SL Multiplier and TP Multiplier in the settings, under the “General Configuration” section, to extend or contract these levels. For example, increasing the TP Multiplier to 1.5 sets the take profit at 1.5x the distance between the entry and stop loss.
🔹Signal Input Settings:
Candle Type:
Choose which candle type is used to generate signals. Options include:
Manipulation Candle (MC) only
Almost Manipulation Candle (AMC) only
Both (signals are generated from either candle type)
Entry Method:
Determines whether signals are generated based on:
Key Levels only
Fair Value Gaps only
Both (signals are generated from Key Levels AND Fair Value Gaps)
Setup Types:
You can enable or disable specific setup types. Only the selected setup types will appear on your chart:
Long Setups
Short Setups
Bulltrap Setups
Beartrap Setups
🔹Long Setup – Manipulation Candle + Key Level:
A long setup forms when a bullish Manipulation Candle touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section and closes above it during a toggled-on session from the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is above the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the bullish Manipulation Candle
Stop Loss: At the low of the same candle
Take Profit: Equal distance above the entry, based on TP multiplier
In this example, a bullish MC touches the PDH during the London Session and closes above the level:
🔹Short Setup – Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A short setup forms when a bearish Manipulation Candle touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section and closes below it during a toggled-on session from the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is below the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the bearish Manipulation Candle
Stop Loss: At the high of the same candle
Take Profit: Equal distance below the entry, based on the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bearish MC touches the Daily Open during the NY AM Session and closes below the level:
🔹Trap Confirmation Settings
Two settings control how bulltrap and beartrap setups are confirmed once a Manipulation or Almost Manipulation Candle forms.
Candles Between Confirmation:
This setting defines the maximum number of candles allowed between the initial Manipulation Candle and the confirmation candle that closes back in the opposite direction.
For example, if this value is set to 2, the confirmation candle must appear within two bars of the Manipulation Candle for the setup to remain valid. If too many candles form in between, the bull/bear trap setup is ignored.
Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio:
This input measures the ratio of the confirmation candle’s wick size to its body size for bulltrap and beartrap setups. Lower values require a larger body compared to the wick, meaning the confirmation candle must close more decisively. If the ratio is above the threshold set by the user, the confirmation candle for a bulltrap/beartrap setup is considered valid.
For example, if the wick is 10 points and the body is 10 points, the ratio is 1.0 (10 / 10). If the wick is 10 points and the body is 20 points, the ratio is 0.5 (10 / 20).
🔹Beartrap Setup – Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A beartrap setup forms when a bearish Manipulation Candle touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section. The candle does not need to close above or below the level, it only needs to touch it. After this bearish MC forms, a confirmation candle must close back above the MC’s high during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. The sweep or initial touch can occur before or outside the session, but the confirmation candle must close within an active session window.
To confirm the setup, the following conditions must be met:
The confirmation candle must close within the limit set by the Candles Between Confirmation input.
Its wick-to-body ratio must be less than or equal to the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio input
Once these conditions are met and price is above the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the confirmation candle
Stop Loss: At the low of the confirmation candle
Take Profit: Equal distance above the entry, measured 1:1 from the candle’s body and scaled by the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bearish Manipulation Candle touches the Daily Open level before price reverses and a confirmation candle closes above it. The confirmation candle occurs during the Asia Session, has a strong body with minimal wicks, meeting the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio requirement, and it forms just two candles after the bearish MC which is within the limit set by the Candles Between Confirmation input.
🔹Bulltrap Setup – Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A bulltrap setup forms when a bullish Manipulation Candle touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section. The MC does not need to close above or below the level, it only needs to touch it. After this bullish MC forms, a confirmation candle must close back below the MC’s low during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. The initial key level touch from the MC can occur before or outside the session, but the confirmation candle must close within an active session window.
To confirm the setup, the following conditions must be met:
The confirmation candle must close within the limit set by the Candles Between Confirmation input.
Its wick-to-body ratio must be less than or equal to the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio input.
Once these conditions are met and price is below the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the confirmation candle
Stop Loss: At the high of the confirmation candle
Take Profit: Equal distance below the entry, measured 1:1 from the candle’s body and scaled by the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bullish Manipulation Candle touches the Daily Open level before price reverses and a confirmation candle closes below it. The confirmation candle forms during the NY AM Session, has a strong body with minimal wicks that meet the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio requirement, and it appears two candles after the bullish MC which is within the limit defined by the Candles Between Confirmation input.
🔹Long Setup – Almost Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A long setup forms when a bullish Almost Manipulation Candle (AMC) touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section and closes above it during a toggled-on session from the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is above the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the bullish Almost Manipulation Candle
Stop Loss: At the low of the same candle
Take Profit: Equal distance above the entry, based on the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bullish AMC touches the Daily Open during the NYSE Session and closes above the level.
🔹Short Setup – Almost Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A short setup forms when a bearish Almost Manipulation Candle (AMC) touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section and closes below it during a toggled-on session from the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is below the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the bearish Almost Manipulation Candle
Stop Loss: At the high of the same candle
Take Profit: Equal distance below the entry, based on the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bearish AMC touches the Midnight Open during the NY AM Session and closes below the level.
🔹Beartrap Setup – Almost Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A beartrap setup forms when a bearish Almost Manipulation Candle (AMC) touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section. The candle does not need to close above or below the level, it only needs to touch it.

Entry: At the close of the confirmation candle
Stop Loss: At the low of the confirmation candle
Take Profit: Equal distance above the entry, measured 1:1 from the candle’s body and scaled by the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bearish AMC touches the Midnight Open before price reverses and a confirmation candle closes above it. The confirmation candle forms during the London Session, has a large body with minimal wicks that meet the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio requirement, and appears seven candles after the bearish AMC which is within the Candles Between Confirmation limit (10 by default).
🔹Bulltrap Setup – Almost Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A bulltrap setup forms when a bullish AMC touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section. The candle does not need to close above or below the level; it only needs to touch it. After this bullish AMC forms, a confirmation candle must close back below the AMC’s low during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. The initial touch can occur before or outside the session, but the confirmation candle must close within an active session window.

Take Profit: Equal distance below the entry, measured 1:1 from the candle’s body and scaled by the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bullish AMC touches the NY Lunch Session Low before price reverses and a confirmation candle closes below it. The confirmation candle forms during the Asia Session, has a strong body with minimal wicks that meet the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio requirement, and appears six candles after the bullish AMC which is within the Candles Between Confirmation limit.
🔹Long Setup – Manipulation Candle + Fair Value Gap
A long setup forms when a bullish Manipulation Candle touches a bullish higher timeframe Fair Value Gap (FVG) from one of the two higher timeframe inputs under the “Fair Value Gaps” section. The candle must close during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is above the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the bullish Manipulation Candle
Stop Loss: At the low of the same candle
Take Profit: Equal distance above the entry, scaled by the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bullish MC taps into a bullish 1-hour FVG during the Asia Session.
🔹Short Setup – Manipulation Candle + Fair Value Gap

🔹Signal Style Customization
The Manipulation Model indicator provides full visual customization for all signal elements, allowing users to easily adjust the appearance of entry, stop loss, and take profit labels.
Label Colors:
Users can customize the label color for Long Setups (Long and Beartrap) and Short Setups (Short and Bulltrap).
Long and Beartrap setups share the same label color.
Short and Bulltrap setups share the same label color.
Label text color can also be customized and applied globally to all signal labels.
Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) Labels:
The SL and TP label colors can be customized independently.
Users can toggle SL Labels and TP Labels on or off. When turned off, the corresponding labels are hidden, but their levels remain active on the chart.
Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit Lines:
Each of these lines can be individually toggled on or off.
Entry Line: Marks the entry price level.
Stop Loss Line: Displays the SL level derived from each setup’s logic.
Take Profit Line: Displays the TP level calculated using the Take Profit Multiplier setting.
Users can also toggle the labels for each line on or off and adjust the color for each line type independently.
WIN RATE DASHBOARD:
The Win Rate Dashboard gives traders a quick way to see the recent performance of their enabled setups. It automatically calculates and displays win rates for each signal type turned on under the “General Configuration” section, based on the sessions and key levels currently active in the settings.
The dashboard updates in real time, showing both the win rate percentage and total trade count for all enabled signal types combined. It looks back at a set number of bars to calculate results, providing a simple performance snapshot directly on your chart.
How It Works:
When a signal triggers, the indicator tracks whether price first reaches the Take Profit (TP) or Stop Loss (SL) level.
A winning trade is recorded when the take profit is hit before the stop loss.
A losing trade is recorded when the stop loss is hit before the take profit.
The win rate = (Winning Trades / Total Trades) x 100
🔹Dashboard Customization:
Users can adjust the dashboard’s appearance with the following settings:
Background Color
Frame Color
Border Color
Text Color
You can also toggle the dashboard on or off from the settings menu. It appears in the top-right corner of the chart by default and its position cannot be changed.
🔹Disclaimer:
The Win Rate Dashboard provides historical performance data based on the signals and conditions you’ve enabled. These results are calculated from past bars and are not indicative of future performance or profitability.
ALERTS:
The Manipulation Model indicator includes full alert functionality powered by AnyAlert(), allowing users to receive notifications for all major setups and level breaks in real time.
Users can choose exactly which alerts they want to receive under the “Alerts” section of the settings. Once your preferred alerts are toggled on, you can create a TradingView alert using the AnyAlert() condition. This will automatically trigger alerts for all selected events as they occur on your chart.
Available Alerts:
Long Setup
Short Setup
Bulltrap Setup
Beartrap Setup

To receive alerts:
Open the alert creation window in TradingView
Select “Manipulation Model ” as the condition
Choose AnyAlert() from the dropdown
Create the alert
IMPORTANT NOTES:
TradingView has limitations when running features on multiple timeframes, which can result in the following restriction:
Computation Error:
The computation of using MTF features is very intensive on TradingView. This can sometimes cause calculation timeouts. When this occurs, simply force the recalculation by modifying one indicator’s settings or by removing the indicator and adding it to your chart again.
UNIQUENESS:
The Manipulation Model is unique because every setup type is fully rule-based and tied to strict structural logic. Traders can control exactly how signals form by selecting which candle types are used, which key levels and sessions are active, and whether entries trigger from Key Levels, Fair Value Gaps, or both. All setups use objective rules for confirmation, wick-to-body ratio, and higher timeframe bias. The indicator also provides full customization for visuals, alerts, and trade parameters like TP and SL multipliers. A built-in Win Rate Dashboard tracks real-time performance for all enabled setup types based on the user’s active sessions and signal filters. Together, these features make it a complete, mechanical implementation of the Funded Brothers Manipulation Model and it works across all asset classes including stocks, crypto, forex, and futures.
Power Balance Bull&Bear - CoffeeKillerPower Balance Bull&Bear - CoffeeKiller Indicator Guide
Welcome traders! This guide will walk you through the Power Balance Bull&Bear indicator, a unique and powerful market analysis tool developed by CoffeeKiller that visualizes the ongoing battle between buyers and sellers in any market.
Core Concept: Buyers vs. Sellers
The foundation of this indicator rests on a simple yet profound concept: every price movement in the market represents a battle between buyers and sellers.
Positive Green Line: Buyer Power
- Represents cumulative buying pressure in the market
- Tracks positive directional movement over a specified period
- Rising positive line indicates increasing buying momentum
- Peaks in the positive line show moments of maximum buyer dominance
Negative Red Line: Seller Power
- Represents cumulative selling pressure in the market
- Tracks negative directional movement over a specified period
- Falling negative line indicates increasing selling momentum
- Troughs in the negative line show moments of maximum seller dominance
Master Line: Market Balance
- Calculated as the difference between positive and negative movements
- Above zero: buyers are in control
- Below zero: sellers are in control
- Peaks and troughs: moments of extreme buyer or seller dominance
Core Components
1. Directional Movement Analysis
- Cumulative measurement of price changes in both directions

4. Market Balance Assessment
- Buyer line trend: indicates strength/weakness of bulls
- Seller line trend: indicates strength/weakness of bears
- Master line position relative to zero: overall market bias
- Distance between lines: consensus or disagreement in the market
Optimization Guide
1. Period Settings
- Longer period: smoother signals, less noise, fewer false signals
- Shorter period: more responsive, captures minor moves, potentially more noise
- Default (20): balanced approach for most timeframes
2. Box Size Parameter
- Smaller box size: more sensitive to price changes
- Larger box size: less sensitive, focuses on major moves
- Default (0.001): calibrated for typical price ranges
3. Distance Thresholds
- Convergence threshold: determines when lines are considered "near"
- Divergence threshold: determines when lines are considered "far"
- Adjusting these based on volatility of the instrument
4. Color Customization
- Positive Green line: representing buyer strength
- Negative Red line: representing seller strength
- Diverging fill: when the gap between buyers and sellers is increasing
- Converging fill: when buyers and sellers are moving closer together
Best Practices
1. Signal Confirmation
- Wait for buyer/seller crossovers to confirm
- Look for background highlighting at peaks
- Check distance trends for momentum confirmation
- Use the analysis table for additional context
2. Timeframe Selection
- Lower timeframes: more signals, potential noise
- Higher timeframes: cleaner signals, less frequent
- Custom resolution: allows comparison across timeframes
- Consider using multiple timeframes for confirmation
3. Market Context
- Strong buyer line rising + weak seller line: very bullish
- Strong seller line falling + weak buyer line: very bearish
- Both lines rising: volatile uptrend
- Both lines falling: volatile downtrend
4. Combining with Other Indicators
- Use with trend indicators for confirmation
- Pair with oscillators for overbought/oversold conditions
- Combine with volume analysis for validation
- Consider support/resistance levels when peaks form
Advanced Trading Strategies
1. Buyer/Seller Balance Strategy
- Enter long when buyer line crosses above seller line
- Enter short when seller line crosses above buyer line
- Use distance trend for filtering quality of signals
- Exit when distance falls below convergence threshold
2. Peak Trading Strategy
- Identify significant peaks with background highlighting
- Look for consecutive lower peaks in buyer line for shorting opportunities
- Look for consecutive higher troughs in seller line for buying opportunities
- Use master line crosses through zero as confirmation
3. Convergence/Divergence Strategy
- Enter positions when distance exceeds divergence threshold (strong trend)
- Take partial profits when distance starts decreasing
- Exit fully when distance falls below convergence threshold
- Re-enter when a new trend forms with increasing distance
4. Line Trend Combination Strategy
- Strongest bullish signal: Rising buyer line + falling seller line + increasing distance
- Strongest bearish signal: Falling buyer line + rising seller line + increasing distance
- Potential reversal signal: Decreasing distance + peak formation + line trend change
- Continuation signal: Consistent buyer/seller dominance + increasing distance after consolidation
Practical Analysis Examples
Bullish Market Scenario
- Buyer line trends upward as buying pressure increases
- Seller line remains flat or trends downward as selling pressure decreases
- Distance between lines expands, showing divergence (strong trend)
- Positive background highlights appear at new peaks in buyer dominance
- Master line moves further above zero
Bearish Market Scenario
- Seller line trends downward as selling pressure increases
- Buyer line remains flat or trends downward as buying pressure decreases
- Distance between lines expands, showing divergence (strong trend)
- Negative background highlights appear at new troughs in seller dominance
- Master line moves further below zero
Consolidation Scenario
- Buyer and seller lines move sideways
- Distance between lines narrows, showing convergence
- Few or no new peak highlights appear
- Master line oscillates close to the zero line
- Analysis table shows "Stable" trends for both buyer and seller lines
Understanding Market Dynamics Through Power Balance
At its core, this indicator provides a unique lens to visualize the ongoing battle between bulls and bears:
1. **Relative Strength**: When the buyer line rises faster than the seller line, bulls are gaining strength relative to bears - a bullish signal. When the seller line falls faster than the buyer line, bears are dominating - a bearish signal.
2. **Market Consensus**: Convergence between lines suggests market participants are reaching consensus about price direction. Divergence suggests growing disagreement and potential for stronger moves.
3. **Exhaustion Signals**: Major peaks in either line that are highlighted by background colors suggest moments where one side (buyers or sellers) has reached maximum strength - often precursors to reversals.
4. **Trend Confirmation**: The status indicators (Near, Far, Normal) provide context about the current market phase, helping confirm whether a trend is establishing, continuing strongly, or potentially fading.
Remember:
- Combine signals from buyer/seller lines, distance measurements, and peak formations
- Use appropriate timeframe settings for your trading style
- Monitor the analysis table for additional context
- Consider market conditions and correlate with price action
This indicator works best when:
- Used as part of a comprehensive trading system
- Combined with proper risk management
- Applied with an understanding of current market conditions
- Signals are confirmed by price action and other indicators

RSI Divergence[UgurTash] – Real-Time📈 RSI Divergence – Real-Time, Adaptive, and Intelligent RSI Divergence Detection
🚀 What Does This Indicator Do?
RSI Divergence is a real-time divergence detection tool that helps traders identify bullish and bearish divergences between price and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Unlike traditional RSI-based indicators, this script offers:
✅ Real-time detection – No need to wait for bar closes or repainting.
✅ Dynamic time-frame adaptation – The script automatically adjusts RSI settings based on the selected chart time frame.
✅ Multi-layered divergence analysis – Supports short-term, medium-term, and long-term divergence detection with an optional all-term mode that dynamically selects the best configuration.
🛠 How Does It Work?
Pivot-Based Divergence Detection:
The script analyzes pivot points on both price and RSI to determine valid divergences.
Bullish divergence occurs when price forms a lower low but RSI trends higher, indicating potential upward momentum.
Bearish divergence occurs when price forms a higher high but RSI trends lower, signaling possible weakness.
Adaptive RSI Calculation:
The RSI length is dynamically adjusted based on the chosen time frame:
Short-Term: RSI (7) for 1-5 min charts.
Medium-Term: RSI (14) for 15-60 min charts.
Long-Term: RSI (28) for 4H+ charts.
In All-Term Mode, the script automatically determines the best RSI length based on the active chart timeframe.
Smart Visualization & Alerts:
Bullish divergences are marked with green lines & labels.
Bearish divergences are highlighted in red.
Users can customize symbol size, divergence labels, and colors.
Instant alerts notify traders as soon as a divergence is detected.
🎯 How to Use This Indicator?
📌 For Trend Reversals: Look for bullish divergences at key support levels and bearish divergences at resistance zones.
📌 For Trend Continuation: Combine divergence signals with moving averages, volume analysis, or price action strategies to confirm trades.
📌 For Scalping & Swing Trading: Adjust the time-frame settings to match your trading style.
🏆 What Makes This Indicator Original?
🔹 Unlike standard RSI divergence indicators, this script features real-time analysis with no repainting, allowing for instant trading decisions.

Volume Bulls vs Bears (Improved)The "Volume Bulls vs Bears (Improved)" is a raw and powerful volume-based indicator for TradingView that visualizes market participation by separating volume into "bullish" and "bearish" components. It provides a clear and visually appealing stacked histogram alongside a moving average of total volume, helping traders identify trends in market participation.
Key Features
Bullish vs Bearish Volume Separation:
Bullish Volume: Represents the portion of volume contributed by buyers (when prices move up).
Bearish Volume: Represents the portion of volume contributed by sellers (when prices move down).
Volume is calculated based on price action within the range of the candle:
Bulls = ((Close - Low) / (High - Low)) * Total Volume
Bears = ((High - Close) / (High - Low)) * Total Volume
Stacked Histogram:
Bullish and bearish volumes are plotted as a stacked histogram.
Bull Color: Green (default).
Bear Color: Red (default).
This makes it easy to spot shifts in volume dominance between bulls and bears.
Volume SMA:
A Simple Moving Average (SMA) of total volume over a user-defined period helps smooth out fluctuations and shows overall volume trends.
Default period is 20 bars.
SMA Line: Yellow (default), adjustable in width.
User-Customizable Inputs:
Volume SMA Period: Adjust the lookback period for the moving average.
Bull/Bear Colors: Customizable histogram colors.
SMA Line Color and Width: Allows flexibility for better chart aesthetics.
Non-Overlapping Visuals:
The histogram avoids overlap, ensuring clarity by visually stacking bullish and bearish volumes.
How to Use the Indicator
Identify Bullish Volume Dominance:
If the green (bullish) volume bars are larger, it indicates stronger buying pressure within the candle range.
Identify Bearish Volume Dominance:
If the red (bearish) volume bars are larger, it signals stronger selling pressure.
Volume Trend:
Use the Volume SMA line to identify whether overall volume is increasing, decreasing, or staying stable. Rising volume typically strengthens trends, while declining volume can indicate weakness.
Use Cases
Spotting volume trends that confirm price movements (e.g., rising prices with rising bullish volume).
Recognizing potential reversals when bearish volume starts dominating previously bullish candles.
Identifying accumulation or distribution phases by analyzing volume behavior.
Conclusion
This "Volume Bulls vs Bears (Improved)" indicator provides traders with deeper insights into market participation. Its raw, no-frills design offers clear visuals to help assess bullish and bearish volume dynamics with an additional smoothing component through the SMA. It’s an essential tool for volume-focused traders looking to confirm trends or anticipate reversals.
Gabriel's Bull Bear Power Elder's Force IndexGabriel's Bull Bear Power Elder's Force Index (BBP-EFI) Indicator!
The Bull and Bear Power indicators were created by Dr. Alexander Elder, a renowned trader, psychologist, and author. He introduced these indicators in his book, "Trading for a Living" (1993). These tools are part of Elder's broader trading system and are designed to measure the strength of buying (bull) and selling (bear) pressures in the market.
About the Bull and Bear Power Indicators
Bull Power:
Measures the strength of buyers.
Formula:
Bull Power = High Price - Exponential Moving Average (EMA(Close))
Bull Power2 = High Price − Exponential Moving Average (EMA(Close))
Bear Power:
Measures the strength of sellers.
Formula:
Bear Power = Low Price − Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
Bear Power2 = Low Price−Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
Purpose:
These indicators work together to determine the balance of power between bulls and bears.
When combined with a trend indicator (like an EMA), they help identify potential trend reversals or continuations.
Other Indicators/Systems by Dr. Alexander Elder
Elder-Ray Index:
The Bull Power and Bear Power indicators are part of the Elder-Ray Index system.
This system combines Bull Power, Bear Power, and an EMA to analyze market trends and momentum.
Elder's Triple Screen Trading System:
One of Dr. Elder's most famous contributions.
A multi-timeframe trading system that combines trend-following indicators on higher timeframes with oscillators on lower timeframes.
Example:
Screen 1: Identify the trend on a higher timeframe using moving averages or MACD.
Screen 2: Use an oscillator such as Elder's Bull-Bear Power! or (e.g., Stochastic, RSI) to find entry points.
Screen 3: Use price action or breakouts for precise entries.
Elder's Force Index:
Measures the strength of bulls or bears by combining price changes and volume.
Formula:
Force Index = (Close − Close 𝑡 − 1) × Volume
Force Index = (Close t − Close t−1) × Volume
This is useful for identifying trend strength, momentum, and potential reversals.
Legacy of Dr. Alexander Elder
Dr. Elder’s work emphasizes:
Psychology in Trading:
As a trained psychiatrist, he highlights the importance of emotional discipline and understanding market psychology.
Multi-Factor Analysis:
He encourages using multiple indicators and timeframes for comprehensive analysis.
His contributions, particularly the Bull/Bear Power, Elder's Force Index, and the Triple Screen Trading System, remain highly respected and widely used in modern trading. I put the two famous indicators together, and I use the Triple Screen Trading system to trade with it!
Gabriel's Elder's Two-In-One Indicator:
The Bull Bear Power Elder's Force Index (BBP-EFI) is a custom technical indicator designed to analyze market momentum and identify potential trend reversals by combining the concepts of Elder's Force Index with Bull and Bear Power indicators. It offers traders a comprehensive view of buying and selling pressures in the market, helping to make more informed trading decisions.
Key Components:
First is Elder's Force Index (EFI):
Definition: Measures the strength of price movements multiplied by volume, reflecting the force behind price changes.
Calculation:
EFI for Close Prices: eficlose = EMA(change(close) * volume, length)
EFI for High Prices: efihigh = EMA(change(high) * volume, length)
EFI for Low Prices: efilow = EMA(change(low) * volume, length)
Note: length is a user-defined input for the EMA period.
Second is calculating the Bull and Bear Power using EFI as the Source:
Bull Power: Reflects the ability of buyers to push prices above the average consensus (EMA of EFI Close).
Calculation: bullPower = efihigh - EMA(eficlose, lengthInput)
Bear Power: Reflects the ability of sellers to push prices below the average consensus.
Calculation: bearPower = efilow - EMA(eficlose, lengthInput)
Note: lengthInput is a separate user-defined input for the EMA period in Bull and Bear Power calculations.
Bull Bear Power (BBP):
Calculation: bbp = bullPower + bearPower
Interpretation:
Positive BBP: Indicates bullish momentum.
Negative BBP: Indicates bearish momentum.
Features:
Customizable Parameters:
Elder's Force Index Length (length): Adjusts the sensitivity of the EFI calculation.
Bull Bear Power Length (lengthInput): Adjusts the sensitivity of the Bull and Bear Power calculations.
Moving Average Type (maTypeInput): Options include SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, VWMA, or none.
Moving Average Length (maLengthInput): Period for smoothing the BBP.
Bollinger Bands (bbMultInput): Applies Bollinger Bands to the SMA of BBP with customizable standard deviation multiplier.
Overbought and Oversold Bands:
Dynamic Calculation: Based on historical BBP values over a period determined by the average of length and lengthInput.
Levels (leveling): User-defined percentage to determine the overbought and oversold thresholds.
Visualization: Plots upper (ub) and lower (db) bands on the chart with optional fill between them.
Divergence Detection:
Bullish Divergence: Occurs when price makes a lower low while BBP makes a higher low, suggesting a potential upward reversal.
Bearish Divergence: Occurs when price makes a higher high while BBP makes a lower high, suggesting a potential downward reversal.
Customization:
Lookback Periods (lookbackLeft, lookbackRight): Adjusts the sensitivity of pivot detection for divergences.
Range Settings (rangeUpper, rangeLower): Defines the acceptable range of bars between pivot points.
Alerts:
Overbought/Oversold Alerts: Can be set to trigger when BBP crosses the calculated bands.
Divergence Alerts: Notifies when bullish or bearish divergences are detected.
Visualization:
Histogram and Line Plot: BBP is displayed both as a histogram and a line for better visualization.
Color Coding: Positive values in green shades (bullish), negative values in red shades (bearish).
Moving Average Plot: Optional smoothing line plotted over the BBP.
Bollinger Bands: Upper and lower bands plotted when the SMA + Bollinger Bands option is selected.
Background Coloring: Highlights areas where BBP crosses over or under the moving average.
How to Use the Indicator:
Identifying Trends:
Bullish Momentum: When BBP is above zero and rising, it indicates increasing buying pressure.
Bearish Momentum: When BBP is below zero and falling, it indicates increasing selling pressure.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions:
Overbought: When BBP rises above the upper band (ub), the market may be overextended on the buy side.
Oversold: When BBP falls below the lower band (db), the market may be overextended on the sell side.
Divergence Signals:
Bullish Divergence: Consider buying opportunities when a bullish divergence is detected.
Bearish Divergence: Consider selling or shorting opportunities when a bearish divergence is detected.
Smoothing with Moving Averages:
Trend Confirmation: Use the moving average of BBP to confirm trends and filter out noise.
Crossovers: BBP crossing above the moving average may signal a bullish trend, while crossing below may signal a bearish trend.
Bollinger Bands Application:
Volatility Assessment: Bollinger Bands widen during high volatility and narrow during low volatility.
Breakout Signals: A move outside the bands may indicate a strong trend continuation or reversal.
Settings and Inputs:
Bull Bear Power - Elder's Force Index Settings:
Elder's Force Index Length (length): Default is 13.
Bull Bear Power Length (lengthInput): Default is 13.
Calculate Oversold and Overbought Bands (calculateBands): Enables band calculation for alerts.
Calculate Divergence (calculateDivergence): Enables divergence detection and alerts.
BBP-EFI Moving Average:
Type (maTypeInput): Choose from "None", "SMA", "SMA + Bollinger Bands", "EMA", "SMMA (RMA)", "WMA", "VWMA".
Length (maLengthInput): Default is 14.
BB StdDev (bbMultInput): Standard deviation multiplier for Bollinger Bands; default is 2.0.
Important Notes:
Volume Data Requirement: The indicator relies on volume data for the EFI calculation. If volume data is not available from your data provider, the indicator will not function and will display an error.
Customization: Adjust the input parameters to suit different time frames and trading styles. Shorter lengths make the indicator more sensitive but may increase false signals.
Complementary Use: It is recommended to use the BBP-EFI in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and not as a standalone indicator.
Alerts Configuration: Ensure alerts are properly set up in your trading platform to receive notifications based on the indicator's signals.
Example Usage Scenario:
Trend Confirmation: A trader observes that BBP has crossed above zero and the smoothing moving average, with a rising histogram. This suggests a strengthening bullish trend, and the trader considers entering a long position.
Overbought Condition: BBP reaches above the upper overbought band. The trader watches closely for any signs of reversal or divergence to secure profits or tighten stop-loss orders.
Bullish Divergence: Despite price making a lower low, BBP makes a higher low, triggering a bullish divergence alert. The trader anticipates a potential trend reversal and prepares to enter a long position.
By combining momentum, volume, and price action analysis, the Bull Bear Power Elder's Force Index indicator provides a multifaceted view of market dynamics, aiding traders in making more nuanced and timely trading decisions.
Happy Thanksgiving!
CandleStick [TradingFinder] - All Reversal & Trend Patterns🔵 Introduction
"Candlesticks" patterns are used to predict price movements. We have included 5 of the best candlestick patterns that are common and very useful in "technical analysis" in this script to identify them automatically. The most important advantage of this indicator for users is saving time and high precision in identifying patterns.
These patterns are "Pin Bar," "Dark Cloud," "Piercing Line," "3 Inside Bar," and "Engulfing." By using these patterns, you can predict price movements more accurately and therefore make better decisions in your trades.
🔵 How to Use
Pin Bar : This pattern consists of a Candle where "Open Price," "Close Price," "High Price," and "Low Price" form the "Candle Body," and it also has "Long Shadow" and "Short Shadow." In the visual appearance of the Pin Bar pattern, we have a candle body and a pin bar shadow, where the candle body is smaller relative to the shadow.
Just as the candle body plays an important role in analysis, the pin bar shadow can also be influential. The larger the pin bar shadow, the stronger the expectation of a trend reversal.
When a "bearish pin bar" occurs at resistance or the chart ceiling, it can be predicted that the price trend will be downward. Similarly, at support points and the chart floor, a "bullish pin bar" can indicate an upward price movement.
Additionally, patterns like "Hammer," "Shooting Star," "Hanging Man," and "Inverted Hammer" are types of pin bars. Pin bars are formed in two ways: bullish pin bars have a long lower shadow, and bearish pin bars have a long upper shadow. Important: Displaying "Bullish Pin Bar" is labeled "BuPB," and "Bearish Pin Bar" is labeled "BePB."
Dark Cloud : The Dark Cloud pattern is one type of two-candle patterns that occurs at the end of an uptrend. The 2-candle pattern indicates the shape of this pattern, which actually consists of 2 candles, one bullish and one bearish. This pattern indicates a trend reversal and is quite powerful.
The Dark Cloud pattern is seen when, after a bullish candle at the end of an uptrend, a bearish candle opens at a higher level (weakly, equal, or higher) than the closing point of the bullish candle and finally closes at a point approximately in the middle of the previous candle. In this indicator, the Dark Cloud pattern is identified as "Wick" and "Strong" .
The difference between these two lies in the strictness of their conditions. Important: Strong Dark Cloud is labeled "SDC," and Weak Dark Cloud is labeled "WDC."
Piercing Line : The Piercing candlestick pattern consists of 2 candles, the first being bearish and consistent with the previous trend, and the second being bullish. The conditions of the pattern are such that the first candle is bearish and a price gap is created between the two candles upon the opening of the next candle because its opening price is below (weakly equal to or less than) the closing price of the previous candle.
Additionally, its closing price must be at least 50% above the red candle.
This means that the second candle must penetrate at least 50% into the first candle. Important: Strong Piercing Line is labeled "SPL," and Weak Piercing Line is labeled "WPL."
3 Inside Bar (3 Bar Reversal) : The 3 Inside Bar pattern is a reversal pattern. This pattern consists of 3 consecutive candles and can be either bullish or bearish. In the bullish pattern (Inside Up) formed at the end of a downtrend, the last candle must be bullish, and the third candle from the end must be bearish.
Additionally, the close price must be more than 50% of the third candle from the end. In the bearish pattern (Inside Down) formed at the end of an uptrend, the last candle must be bearish, and the third candle from the end must be bullish. Additionally, the close price must be less than 50% of the third candle from the end. Important: Bullish 3 Inside Bar is labeled "Bu3IB," and Bearish 3 Inside Bar is labeled "Be3IB."
Engulfing : The Engulfing candlestick pattern is a reversal pattern and consists of at least two candles, where one of them completely engulfs the body of the previous or following candle due to high volatility.
For this reason, the term "engulfing" is used for this pattern. This pattern occurs when the price body of a candle encompasses one or more candles before it. Engulfing candles can be bullish or bearish. Bullish Engulfing forms as a reversal candle at the end of a downtrend.
Bullish Engulfing indicates strong buying power and signals the beginning of an uptrend. This pattern is a bullish candle with a long upward body that completely covers the downward body before it. Bearish Engulfing, as a reversal pattern, is a long bearish candle that engulfs the upward candle before it.
Bearish Engulfing forms at the end of an uptrend and indicates the pressure of new sellers and their strong power. Additionally, forming this pattern at resistance levels and the absence of a lower shadow increases its credibility. Important: Bullish Engulfing is labeled "BuE," and Bearish Engulfing is labeled "BeE."

Batman Trades Bulls vs BearsIntroduction :
The Batman Trades Bulls vs Bears (BTBvB) indicator is a powerful tool designed to provide traders with valuable insights into market dynamics by assessing the bullish and bearish forces at play. This educational description will delve into the workings of the indicator and provide a comprehensive trading strategy to harness its potential.
Understanding the Indicator:
The BTBvB indicator utilizes two components: BullTrend and BearTrend. BullTrend measures the relative strength of the bullish side by calculating the difference between the closing price and the lowest low over a specific period, divided by the Average True Range (ATR). On the other hand, BearTrend determines the strength of the bearish side by computing the difference between the highest high and the closing price, again divided by the ATR. These individual measures are then combined to determine the net power or trend in the market.
Interpreting the Indicator:
The BTBvB indicator visualizes market forces through histogram bars and trend lines. The bullish and bearish powers are represented by green and red histograms, respectively. A value below zero indicates bearish dominance, while a value above zero signifies bullish strength. The intersection of the histograms can provide valuable insights into potential market reversals.
Additionally, the BTBvB indicator includes a regression trend line, which depicts the overall trend based on historical price data. When activated, the trend line allows traders to observe the direction and strength of the market trend, aiding in trend-following strategies.
Trading Strategy:
The BTBvB indicator offers traders a comprehensive approach to analyze market forces and make informed trading decisions. Here is a suggested trading strategy to leverage the insights provided by the indicator:
Identifying Market Bias:
Look for histogram crossovers: When the green histogram crosses above the zero line, it suggests a shift toward bullish sentiment. Conversely, when the red histogram crosses below the zero line, it indicates an increase in bearish pressure.
Assess trend line slope: If the regression trend line is sloping upwards, it indicates a bullish trend, while a downwards slope suggests a bearish trend.
Confirming Trade Entries:
Bullish Scenario: Consider entering long positions when the bullish histogram is above zero and the trend line confirms an upward slope. Look for pullbacks or consolidations to time the entry more effectively.
Bearish Scenario: For short positions, watch for the bearish histogram below zero, accompanied by a downward-sloping trend line. Look for suitable entry points during price retracements or consolidations.
Setting Stop Loss and Take Profit Levels:
Apply appropriate risk management techniques, including setting stop loss orders to limit potential losses in case the market moves against the trade.
Determine take profit levels based on key support and resistance areas, previous price swings, or other relevant technical analysis tools.
Monitoring and Managing Trades:
Continuously monitor the BBPT indicator for any shifts in market sentiment or trend changes.
Consider trailing stop loss orders to protect profits as the trade progresses.
