TrendLine CrossThis indicator "TrendLine Cross", is designed to plot trend lines so you can spot potential trend reversal points on the charts. The main function is to draw several lines on the chart and identify the crossings between these lines, which can be significant indicators for trading. The lines are based on different periods which can be changed in the settings tabs.
Let's see the characteristics of the trend lines:
_Low Line Color(Green Line): This line connects the lowest point of low prices in the "low_time" period with the lowest point of low prices in the "high_time" period. Indicates a possible short-term support level on the chart.
_Liquidity Up Line Color (Golden Line): This line connects the lowest point of low prices in the "low_time" period with the highest point of low prices in the same period. It represents a liquidity zone and an important resistance in the chart.
_Lower Line Color (Blue Line): This horizontal line connects the lowest point of low prices in the "LowerLine_period" with the lowest point of low prices in the "high_time" period. Indicates a possible long-term support level.
_Upper Line Colorr: This line represents a connection between the highest points of the "high_time" period and the lowest point of the "LowerLine_period". Indicates a possible long-term resistance level.
_Up Line Color (Red Line): This line connects the highest point of high prices in the "high_time" period with the highest point of high prices in the "LowerLine_period". It represents a possible long-term resistance level.
_Liquidity Down Line Color(Golden Line): This line connects the highest point of high prices in the "high_time" period with the highest point of low prices in the "low_time" period. It represents a liquidity point and an important support zone.
The indicator becomes particularly interesting when the lines make crossings. These crossovers could suggest a potential trend change in the market. For example:
Change from Bearish to Bullish: If the "long-term" line (black) crosses the "short- or long-term" line (green or blue) from top to bottom, it could indicate a shift from a bearish to a bullish market , suggesting the opportunity for long positions.
_Changing from Bullish to Bearish: If the "long-term" line (blue) crosses the "short-term" line (red or black) from bottom to top, it could indicate a shift from a bullish to a bearish market, suggesting the opportunity for short positions.
Generally speaking, crossings between these lines can be key points of interest for traders, as they can signal significant changes in price direction.

Contraction Box & Doji LinesContraction & Doji Lines indicator is designed to identify and visualize potential support and resistance levels on a price chart. It does this by detecting doji candlestick patterns and drawing horizontal lines from the middle of the doji bodies to the right. Additionally, it also highlights price contraction zones with colored boxes.
The indicator first identifies doji candlestick patterns that it suggests indecision in the market, a horizontal line and these horizontal lines can act as potential support or resistance levels. Traders can observe price reactions around these lines. If the price approaches a line and bounces off it, it may indicate a significant level in the market.
In addition to doji lines, this indicator also highlights price contraction zones. When a contraction zone is detected, a colored box is drawn to highlight this zone. The box extends from the fifth bar ago (left side) to the current bar (right side), with the highest high and lowest low of the identified zone. The color and width of this box can be customized using the "Box Line Border Color," "Box Background Color," and "Box Width" parameters.
A possible strategy could be can use the doji lines as potential support and resistance levels to make trading decisions. For example, if the price breaks above a doji line and holds, it may indicate a bullish signal.
The colored boxes highlight areas of price contraction, which often precede significant price movements. Traders can use these zones to anticipate potential breakouts or breakdowns.
For example, you might enter a long (buy) position if it anticipate a breakout from a contraction zone with a target price set above the breakout level. Conversely, you might enter a short (sell) position if they anticipate a breakdown from a contraction zone with a target price set below the breakdown level.
MTF Evolving Weighted Composite Value Area🧾 Description:
This indicator calculates evolving value areas across 3 different timeframes/periods and combines them into one composite, multi-timeframe evolving value area - with each of the underlying timeframes' VAs assigned their own weighting/importance in the final calculation. Layered with extra smoothing options, this creates an informative and useful 'rolling value area' effect that can give you a better perspective on the value area across multiple periods at once as it develops - without total calculation resets at the onset of every new period.
Let's start with a simplified primer on value areas and then jump in to the new ideas this indicator introduces.
🤔 What is a value area?
Value areas are a tool used in market profile analysis to determine the range of prices that represents where most trading activity occurred during a specific time period, typically within a single 'bar' of a certain higher timeframe, such as the 4-hour, daily, or weekly. It helps traders understand the levels where the market finds value.
To calculate the value area, we look at the distribution of prices and trading volume. We determine a percentage, usually 70% or 80%, that represents the significant portion of trading volume. Then, we identify the price range that contains this percentage of trading volume, which becomes the value area.
Value areas are useful because they provide insights into market dynamics and potential support and resistance levels. They show where traders have been most active and where they find value, and traders can use this information to make better-informed decisions.
For example, if price is trading within the value area, it suggests that it's within a range where traders see value and are actively participating, which could indicate a balanced market. If the price moves above or below the value area, it may signal a potential shift in market sentiment or a breakout/breakdown from the established range.
By understanding the value area, traders can identify potential areas of supply and demand, determine levels of interest for buyers and sellers, and make decisions based on the market's perception of value.
📑 Limitations of traditional value areas
Static representation: Value areas are usually represented as static zones calculated after the fact. For example, after a daily period is completed, a typical 1D VA indicator will display the value area for the past period with static horizontal lines. This approach doesn't give you the power to see how the value area evolved, or developed, during the time period, as it is only displayed retroactively. It also doesn't give you the ability to view it as it evolves in real-time. This is why we chose to use an evolving value area representation, specifically borrowed from @sourcey's Value Area POC/VAH/VAL script function for calculating evolving VAs.
Rollover resets - no memory of past periods!: The traditional value area is calculated over a static period - it is calculated from the beginning of the period, for example a 1 day period, to the end, and that's the end of it. When the next daily period begins, the calculation resets, and has no memory of the preceding period. This limits the usefulness of the value area visual when viewed near the beginning of a new period before price and volume have been given ample time to define an area.
Hard to absorb all of that information: Value areas aren't generally meant to be a hardline representation of something extremely exact - they're based on a percentage of the area where traders appeared to find value over a certain time period. Most traders use them as a guide for support and resistance levels or finding an expected range. Traders typically overlay multiple VAs - sometimes requiring several instances of the same indicator to be applied - to represent the VA across multiple timeframes such as the 4H, 1D, or 1W. The chart quickly gets cluttered and it's not necessarily easy to understand the relationship between these multiple periods' VAs at a glance.
🧪 New concepts introduced in this indicator
With the evolving weighted composite value area we tried to address these limitations, and we think the result can be useful and intuitive for traders who want more dynamic and practical VAs for their everyday technical analysis.
⚖️ 1. A composite, weighted multi-timeframe VA
This indicator's value areas represent a combination or composite of the value areas calculated across multiple timeframes. The VAs calculated across each timeframe are then given a weighting percentage, which determines their contribution to the final 'weighted composite value area'.
Pictured below: a 4H/1D/1W MTF evolving weighted composite VA on the BTCUSDT Perpetual Futures (Binance) 5 minute chart:
Traditionally, when traders wanted to get a view of where the majority of trading activity occurred over the past four hours, day, and week, they would need to apply three value area indicators (or sometimes one if it allows multiple custom timeframes), each set to a different period (4H, 1D, 1W). The chart gets cluttered quickly and the information is hard to absorb in one shot. Addressing this problem was the main impetus for creating this weighted composite process.
〰️ 2. Rolling and smoothed evolving VAs
Because the composite VA is calculated based on multiple period VAs, there is no one single point where the area calculation resets (unless all 3 selected timeframes happen to rollover on the same bar). This creates a 'rolling' effect that gives a sense of the progression of the VA as price transitions through the different underlying time periods, without the traditional 'jump' in calculations between periods.
Pictured below: a 1D/1W/1M MTF evolving weighted composite VA on the NQ futures 1H chart:
To help give even more of a sense of perspective and 'progression' of the VA, there are also smoothing options to even out the 'jumps' at period-rollover points.
✔️ What's it good for?
Smoothed, rolling, and evolving multi-timeframe VAs that give you a better real-time perspective of where traders are finding value across multiple time periods at once.

⚙️ Settings:
Calculation Decimal Resolution: This setting essentially determines how 'granular' the value area calculating process is. This value should be set to some multiple of the tick size/smallest decimal of the symbol's price chart. Eg. On BTCUSDT, the tick size/decimal is usually 0.1. So, you might use 0.5. On TSLA, the tick size is 0.01. You might use 0.05 or 0.25. Beware: if the resolution is too small, calculation will take too long and the script may timeout.
Show Me Suggested Resolutions: If enabled, a label will display in the bottom right of the chart with some suggested resolutions for the current chart.
Area Percentage: Set the displayed percentage of the calculated composite value area. Igor method = 70%; Daniel method: 68%.
Use a Color Theme: When this setting is enabled, all manual 'Bullish and Bearish Colors' are overridden. All plots will use the colors from your selected Color Theme - excepting those plots set to use the 'Single Color' coloring method.
Color Theme: When 'Use a Color Theme' is enabled, this setting allows you to select the color theme you wish to use.
Resistance Color: When 'Use a Color Theme' is disabled, this will set the 'resistance color' for the composite VA.
Support Color: When 'Use a Color Theme' is disabled, this will set the 'support color' for the composite VA.
Show Period Rollover Labels: When enabled, a label will show above or below the composite VA marking any underlying period rollovers with the label 'New __' (eg. 'New 4H', 'New 1D', 'New 1W').
Size: Sets the font size of the period rollover labels.
Show Period Rollover Lines: When enabled, a translucent vertical dashed line will be drawn across the composite VA when one of the underlying periods rolls over.
Fill Composite Value Area: When enabled, the composite VA will be filled with a gradient coloring from the support line to the resistance line using their respective colors.
Smooth: When enabled, a smoothing moving average will be applied to the composite value area.
Smoothing Period: Set the lookback period for the smoothing average.
Smoothing Type: Set the calculation type for the smoothing average. Options include: Exponential, Simple, Weighted, Volume-Weighted, and Hull.
Enable: Include/exclude a timeframe's VA in the composite VA calculation.
Timeframe: Set the timeframe for this specific underlying VA.
Weighting %: Set the weighting percentage or 'importance' of this timeframe's value area in calculating the composite VA. Beware! The sum of the weighting percentages across all enabled timeframes must ALWAYS add up to 100 in order for this indicator to work as designed.
Relative Strength, not RSIThe Smoothed Relative Strength Indicator (not RSI) with Multi-Timeframe Support is a custom indicator that combines the concepts of Relative Strength (not RSI) and Money Flow Index (MFI) to create a smoothed trend-following tool. It works on any timeframe and adapts to different market conditions.
Key Features:
Multi-timeframe support: [ The script uses the request.security function to fetch data from other timeframes, allowing users to analyze the trend on different timeframes simultaneously.
Relative Strength calculation: The script calculates the Relative Strength (not RSI) by averaging the gains and losses over a user-defined period (len).
Money Flow Index calculation: The script calculates the Money Flow Index (MFI) by considering both price and volume data. The MFI is an oscillator that ranges between 0 and 100, and it helps identify overbought or oversold conditions in the market.
Combination of Relative Strength and MFI:The indicator calculates the average of Relative Strength and MFI values to create the Trend Reversal Strength (TRS) line.
Smoothing the TRS line: The TRS line is smoothed using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) with a user-defined smoothing length (smoothLen). This helps to reduce noise and make the trend more readable.
Trend color determination: The script determines the trend color based on the slope of the smoothed TRS line. If the current value of the smoothed TRS line is higher than the previous one, the line is colored green (uptrend). If the current value is lower than the previous one, the line is colored red (downtrend).
Visual representation of trend changes: The indicator plots small circles at points where the trend color changes, making it easier to identify potential trend reversal points.
Zero line: The script draws a horizontal line at the zero level to help users gauge the market's strength or weakness relative to this level.
Usage:
This indicator can be used as a trend-following tool to identify potential entry and exit points in the market. When the smoothed TRS line is green and rising, it suggests a bullish trend, and traders may consider entering long positions. Conversely, when the smoothed TRS line is red and falling, it indicates a bearish trend, and traders may consider short positions or exiting long trades.
Please note that this indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and proper risk management techniques to improve the accuracy of your trading decisions.
Vwma Oscillator [MMD]This line calculates the exponential moving average (EMA) of the product of the close price and volume, divided by the EMA of the volume. The EMA is calculated over a period of 4 bars.
This line calculates the difference between the value of a1 and the volume-weighted moving average (VWMA) of the close price. The VWMA is calculated over a period of 8 bars.
This line calculates a3 as twice the VWMA of a2 over a period of 8 bars, minus the VWMA of a2 over a period of 16 bars.
This line plots the value of a3 on the chart. The color of the plot is determined by the condition inside the color argument. If a3 is within 20% of its previous value (a3 ) in either direction, the color is set to silver. Otherwise, if a3 is greater than 0, the color is set to green; otherwise, it is set to red. The linewidth parameter sets the thickness of the plot, and the style parameter specifies that circles should be used to plot the values.
These lines plot two horizontal lines on the chart, one at 80% of the previous a3 value (a3 *0.8) and the other at 120% of the previous a3 value (a3 *1.2). The transp=100 parameter makes the lines transparent. The fill function is then used to fill the area between these lines with either a red or green color, depending on whether a3 at the current bar is greater or smaller than the corresponding values.
This line plots a horizontal line at a value of 0 on the chart. The color is set to gray, and the line width is set to 2.
Overall, this indicator calculates the values of a1, a2, and a3 based on moving averages and
Angled Volume Profile [Trendoscope]Volume profile is useful tool to understand the demand and supply zones on horizontal level. But, what if you want to measure the volume levels over trend line? In trending markets, the feature to measure volume over angled levels can be very useful for traders who use these measures. Here is an attempt to provide such tool.
🎲 How to use
🎯 Interactive input for selecting starting point and angle.
Upon loading the script, you will be prompted to select
Start time and price - this is a point which you can select by moving the maroon highlighted label.
End price - though this is shown as maroon bullet, this is price only input. Hence, when you click on the bullet, a horizontal line will appear. Users can move the line to use different End price.
Start and End price are used for identifying the angle at which volume profile need to be calculated. Whereas start time is used as starting time of the volume profile. Last bar of the chart is considered as ending bar.
🎯 Other settings.
From settings, users can select the colour of volume profile and style. Step multiplier defines the distance at which the profile lines needs to be drawn. Higher multiplier leads to less dense profile lines whereas lower multiplier leads to higher density of profile lines.
🎲 Limitations
🎯 Max 500 lines
Pinescript only allows max 500 lines on an indicator. Due to this, if we set very low multiplier - this can lead to more than 500 profile lines. Due to this some lines can get removed.
On the contrary, if multiplier is too high, then you will see very few lines which may not be meaningful.
Hence, it is important to select optimal multiplier based on your timeframe
🎯 No updates on new bar
Since the profile can spawn many bars, it is not possible to recalculate the whole volume profile when price creates new bars. Hence, there will not be visual update when new bars are created. But, to update the chart, users only need to make another movement of Start or ending point on interactive input.
Multi SMI Ergodic OscillatorThe Multi SMI Ergodic Oscillator (Multi SMIEO) indicator can be used to identify potential buy and sell signals based on the relationship between the TSI and EMA lines.
The script is creating an indicator that plots multiple (3) sets of Time Series Indicator (TSI-Indicator) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA-Signal) lines as a single indicator.
The TSI is a momentum oscillator that helps identify overbought and oversold conditions. It is calculated using the close prices of an asset, a short-term moving average, and a long-term moving average. The script uses three different pairs of input values for the short-term and long-term periods, which can be adjusted by the user.
The EMA is a type of moving average that gives more weight to recent prices. It is calculated by applying a weighting factor to the most recent price, and then adding that weighted value to the previous EMA value. The script uses three different input values for the length of the EMA, which can also be adjusted by the user.
After calculating the TSI and EMA for each set, the script plots them on the same graph, with different colors and widths to differentiate them. The three sets of TSI and EMA lines are plotted to allow the user to compare the results of different periods. The script also plots a horizontal line at zero, which is used as a reference point for the oscillations of the indicator lines.
One way to use this indicator is to look for crossovers between the TSI and the EMA lines. A bullish crossover occurs when the TSI crosses above the EMA. This suggests that the buying pressure is increasing and a potential buy signal is generated. A bearish crossover occurs when the TSI crosses below the EMA. This suggests that the selling pressure is increasing and a potential sell signal is generated.
Some other ways that the indicator can be used include:
1. Identifying trends: The TSI and EMA lines can be used to identify the direction of the trend. An uptrend is present when the TSI and EMA lines are both trending upwards, while a downtrend is present when the TSI and EMA lines are both trending downwards.
2. Overbought and oversold conditions: The TSI can be used to identify overbought and oversold conditions. When the TSI is above the upper limit of the range, the asset is considered overbought and may be due for a price correction. Conversely, when the TSI is below the lower limit of the range, the asset is considered oversold and may be due for a price rebound.
3. Confirming price action: The Multi SMIEO indicator can be used to confirm price action. If a bullish divergence is present, it confirms a potential bullish reversal. If a bearish divergence is present, it confirms a potential bearish reversal.
4. Multiple time frame analysis: By using different periods for the TSI and EMA lines, the indicator can be used to analyze the asset on multiple time frames. It can be useful to compare the results of different periods to get a better understanding of the asset's price movements.
5. Risk management: This indicator can be used as an element of risk management strategy, it can help traders to identify overbought and oversold conditions to set stop loss or take profit levels.
The Multi SMI Ergodic Oscillator (Multi SMIEO) is a versatile indicator that can be used in a number of ways to analyze the price movements of an asset. It can be used to identify potential buy and sell signals, trends, overbought and oversold conditions, and to confirm price action. By using different periods for the TSI and EMA lines, the indicator can also be used to analyze the asset on multiple time frames. However, it is important to remember that indicators are based on historical data, and past performance does not guarantee future results.
It is important to use the indicator as part of a comprehensive trading strategy that includes risk management and other analysis techniques, such as fundamental and technical analysis. It is also important to keep in mind that indicators are not a standalone solution for trading, they should be used in conjunction with other market analysis and research techniques to generate better results.
Lastly, it is important to keep in mind that trading in financial markets comes with a certain level of risk and it is crucial to always have a proper risk management plan in place. Never invest more than you can afford to lose.
Reverse Engineering RSI II - EMARSI and SMARSIThis is the Reverse Engineering EMARSI and SMARSI Indicator.
It’s based on the work of Giorgos Siligardos on Reverse Engineering RSI.
The Reverse Engineering EMARSI and SMARSI Indicator shows the Exponential Moving Average and the Simple Moving Average of the RSI line but plotted in the price chart.
This script is also a complement of "Reverse Engineering RSI, by Giorgos Siligardos" script by HPotter but can also be used alone.
By default the RevEngSMARSI is turned off.
The RevEngEMARSI is the white line.
I’ve also added to the indicator:
1) Simple Moving Average (MA) of the EMARSI (EMARSI SMA) - Orange Line
2) Standard Deviation Bands for the EMARSI SMA - turned off by default
Using the settings I left in default (Length's = 1), we can see that when the EMARSI SMA is horizontal the price rises and so does the EMARSI. Also when the EMARSI SMA rises that's a signal that there is a resistance/support at that price. We can observe such thing if we draw horizontal lines at those prices. We can use this to help us put stop-losses and take profits. Also, those resistance/suport prices are ALWAYS the closing price of the first red candle after a bullish trend (big or small trends). Interesting...
When the EMARSI SMA rises and touches the EMARSI 3 things can happen:
- Bullish Trend slows down
- Correction of price
- Trend reversal
So, when the EMARSI SMA rises that can be interpreted as a signal for taking profits.
We should always wait for the price to close in the timeframe we're using, because sometimes the EMARSI SMA rises before the closing price and flattens again when is about to close.
However we should never take decisions based on 1 indicator. Our trading decision should always take in consideration multiple sources of information.
Of course we can use other settings for the trading. And if we do that we will observe different behaviours. And we should also study those behaviours. We can then use the crosses between the lines.
If there is something wrong with the code or its calculations, please let me know.
If you want to modify or improve the code, feel free to do that, but please let me know the changes you made.
This Indicator works in all timeframes. I hope you enjoy it!
CCI Breakout TraderWorks well on Bitcoin or most altcoins on a 15min chart or higher.
What is this exactly?
This is an indicator that uses horizontal RSI + EMA lines with a CCI line on top of it to provide optimal entry and exit positions for trading. There is also a breakout indicator based on the width of Bollinger Bands.
How to use:
If the blue stream passes upwards on the red heading to the white - it's heading towards a good BUY signal. To be safe you wait until it passes above the white line, then BUY LONG. Another signal to buy long is when the blue stream passes above the white and green lines.
Selling is essentially the opposite, if the blue stream is passing down from the green or white lines, then it's time to sell and exit your trade.
If you need help knowing when to enter and exit a trade the indicator will draw a grey candle on your chart to signal it's time to exit a long trade and it will draw a purple candle when it's time to enter a long.
--
Breakout alert:
If you see a green vertical bar it's a warning that there is a potential breakout in price coming for whichever coin you are looking at. The price breakout could go either direction, so make sure you watch the blue stream.
--
Important tips:
The direction of the green/white/red lines are important - if they are heading down that means it might not be the best time to enter your trade, even if the blue stream crosses up on the red and/or white lines.
The colored horizontal lines are there to let you know if the blue stream is near the bottom of those lines (anywhere from hline 15 to 50) and heading upwards, you will more likely have a longer positive trade. If the blue stream is above 60 hline and it looks like a good trade (passing up on the red and white lines), expect to have a shorter trade.
I use this for swing trading various crypto currencies, once you learn how to read it, you can catch amazing uptrends really early and you can exit trades before some big drops happen.
Pivots MTF [LucF]Pivots detected at higher timeframes are more significant because more market activity—or work—is required to produce them. This indicator displays pivots calculated on the higher timeframe of your choice.
Features
► Timeframe selection
— The higher timeframe (HTF) can be selected in 3 different ways:
• By steps (15 min., 60 min., 4H, 1D, 3D, 1W, 1M, 1Y). This setting is the default.
• As a multiple of the current chart's resolution, which can be fractional, so 3.5 will work.
• Fixed.
— The HTF used can be displayed near the last bar (default).
— Note that using the HTF is not mandatory. If it is disabled, the indicator will calculate on the chart's resolution.
— Non-repainting or repainting mode can be selected. This has no impact on the display of historical bars, but when no repainting is selected, pivot detection in the realtime bar will be delayed by one chart bar (not one bar at the HTF).
► Pivots
— Three color schemes are provided: green/red, aqua/pink and coral/violet (the default).
— Both the thickness and brightness of lines can be controlled separately for the hi and lo pivots.
— The visibility of the last hi/lo pivots can be enhanced.
— Prices can be displayed on pivot lines and the text's size and color can be adjusted.
— The number of bars required for the left/right pivot legs can be controlled (the default is 4).
— The source can be selected individually for hi and lo pivots (the default is hlc3 and low .
— The mean of the hi/lo pivot values of the last few thousand chart bars can be displayed. Pivots having lasted longer during the mean's period will weigh more in the calculation. The mean can be displayed in running mode and/or only showing its last level as a long horizontal line. I don't find it very useful; maybe others will.
► Markers and Alerts
— Markers can be configured on breaches of either the last hi/lo pivot levels, or the hi/lo mean. Crossovers and crossunders are controlled separately.
— Alerts can be configured using any of the marker combinations. As is usual for my indicators, only one alert is used. It will trigger on the markers that are active when you create your alert. Once your markers are set up the way you want, create your alert from the chart/timeframe you want the alert to run on, and be sure to use the “Once Per Bar Close” triggering condition. Use an alert message that will remind you of the combination of markers used when creating the alert. If you use multiple markers to trigger one alert, then having the indicator show those markers will be important to help you figure out which marker triggered the alert when it fired.
A quick look at the pattern of these markers will hopefully convince you that using them as entry/exit signals would be perilous, as they are prone to whipsaw. I have included them because some traders may use the markers as reminders.
Using Pivots
These pivots can be used in a few different ways:
— When using the high / low sources they will show extreme levels, breaches of which should be more significant.
— Another way to use them is with hlc3 (the average of the high , low and close ) for hi pivots and low for the lo pivots. This accounts for my personal mythology to the effect that drops typically reach previous lows more easily than rallies make newer highs.
— Using low for hi pivots and high for lo pivots (so backward) can be a useful way to set stops or to detect weakness in movements.
You will usually be better served by pivots if you consider them as denoting regions rather than precise levels. The flexibility in the display options of this indicator will help you adapt it to the way you use your pivots. To indicate areas rather than levels, for example, try using a brightness of 1 with a line thickness of 30. The cloud effect generated this way will show areas better than fine lines.
Realize that these pivot lines are positioned in the past, and so they are drawn after the fact because a given number of bars need to elapse before calculations determine a pivot has occurred. You will thus never see a pivot top, for example, identified on the realtime bar. To detect a pivot, it takes a number of bars corresponding to the dilation of the higher timeframe in the current one, multiplied by the number of bars you use for your pivots' right leg. Also note that the Pine native function used to detect pivots in this indicator considers a summit to be a top when the number of bars in each leg are lower or equal to that top. Bars in legs do not need to be progressively lower on each side of the pivot for a pivot to be detected.

Market Structure Pivots TrendThis indicator identifies and visualizes key market structure by plotting confirmed, non-repainting pivot points. It goes beyond simple markers by classifying the pivots, extending dynamic support/resistance lines, and providing a visual representation of the current trend state.
Key Features:
Non-Repainting Pivot Detection:
Uses a standard lookback method (left and right bars) to identify historical pivot points.
Note on Confirmation: Pivots are only confirmed after the Pivot Right Bars input has passed. This is essential for ensuring the signal is non-repainting, but it introduces an inherent lag.
Automatically classifies the sequence of pivots according to Dow Theory: Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH), and Lower Lows (LL).
Pivot Classification Filter:
Price Tolerance Filter: A user-defined percentage tolerance filters out insignificant market noise. A pivot is only classified as 'Higher' or 'Lower' if its price exceeds the previous one by more than the set tolerance, leading to more robust signals.
Equal Pivot Detection: The tolerance also enables the detection of Equal Highs (EH) and Equal Lows (EL), highlighting consolidation zones.
Dynamic Support & Resistance Lines:
When enabled, the indicator extends a horizontal line from the most recent confirmed pivot high and low.
These lines update in real-time, providing clear S/R levels.
Lines automatically terminate if the price decisively breaks through them or if a new pivot of the same type is formed.
Trend State Visualization:
A built-in state machine analyzes the sequence of pivots and breaks to determine the current market trend (Uptrend, Downtrend, or Neutral).
Plots a dynamic step-line based on recent highs/lows to visually represent the current trend state.
Full Customization & Alerts:
Display Options: Choose between simple triangles or detailed text labels that show the pivot type, price, and the absolute or relative change from the previous pivot of the same type.
Visual Styling: Full control over colors for all six pivot types (HH, LH, EH, LL, HL, EL) and line styles.
Comprehensive Alerts: Set up alerts for every new pivot formation (e.g., HH, LL), for S/R line breaks, and for changes in the overall trend state (Up, Down, Neutral).

Multi-Timeframe SFP (Swing Failure Pattern)How to Use
1. Set Pivot Timeframe: Choose the timeframe for identifying major swing points (e.g., 'D' for Daily pivots).
2. Set SFP Timeframe: Choose the timeframe to find the SFP candle (e.g., '240' for the 4-Hour chart).
3. Set Confirmation Bars: Set how many SFP Timeframe bars must pass without invalidating the level. A value of '0' confirms immediately on the SFP bar's close. A value of '1' waits for one more bar to close.
4. Adjust Filters (Optional): Enable the 'Wick % Filter' to add a quality check for strong rejections.
5. Watch & Wait: The indicator will draw lines and labels and fire alerts for fully confirmed signals.
In-Depth Explanation
1. Overview
The Dynamic Pivot SFP Engine is a multi-timeframe tool designed to identify and validate Swing Failure Patterns (SFPs) at significant price levels.
An SFP is a common price action pattern where price briefly trades beyond a previous swing high or low (sweeping liquidity) but then fails to hold those new prices, closing back inside the previous range. This "failure" often signals a reversal.
This indicator enhances SFP detection by separating the Pivot (Liquidity) from the SFP (Rejection), allowing you to monitor them on different timeframes.
2. The Core Multi-Timeframe Logic
The indicator's power comes from two key inputs:
• Pivot Timeframe (Pivot Timeframe)
This is the "high timeframe" used to establish significant support and resistance levels. The script finds standard pivots (swing highs and lows) on this timeframe based on the Pivot Left Strength and Pivot Right Strength inputs. These pivots are the "liquidity" levels the SFP will target. The Pivot Lookback input controls how long (in Pivot Timeframe bars) a pivot remains active and monitored.
• SFP Timeframe (SFP Timeframe)
This is the "execution timeframe" where the script looks for the actual SFP. On every new bar of this timeframe, the script checks if price has swept and rejected any of the active pivots.
Example Setup:
You might set Pivot Timeframe to 'D' (Daily) to find major daily swing points. You then set SFP Timeframe to '240' (4-Hour) to find a 4-hour candle that sweeps a daily pivot and closes back below/above it.
3. The SFP Confirmation Process
An SFP is not confirmed instantly. It must pass a rigorous, multi-step validation process.
Step 1: The SFP Candle (The Sweep)
A potential SFP is identified when an SFP Timeframe bar does the following:
• Bearish SFP: The bar's high trades above an active pivot high, but the bar closes below that same pivot high.
• Bullish SFP: The bar's low trades below an active pivot low, but the bar closes above that same pivot low.
Step 2: The Wick Filter (Optional Quality Check)
If Enable Wick % Filter is checked, the SFP candle from Step 1 is also measured.
• For a bearish SFP, the upper wick (from the high to the open/close) must be at least Min. Wick % of the entire candle's range (high-to-low).
• For a bullish SFP, the lower wick (from the low to the open/close) must meet the same percentage requirement.
If the SFP candle fails this test, it is discarded, even if it met the sweep/close criteria.
Step 3: The Validation Window (The Confirmation)
This is the most critical feature, controlled by Confirmation Bars.
• If Confirmation Bars = 0: The SFP is confirmed immediately on the SFP candle's close (assuming it passed the optional wick check). The label, line, and alert are triggered at this moment.
• If Confirmation Bars > 0: The SFP enters a "pending" state. The script will wait for $N$ more SFP Timeframe bars to close.
o Invalidation: If, during this waiting period, any bar closes back across the pivot (e.g., a close above the pivot for a bearish SFP), the SFP is considered failed and invalidated. All pending plots are deleted.
o Confirmation: If the $N$ confirmation bars all complete without invalidating the level, the SFP is finally confirmed. The label, line, and alert are only triggered after this entire process is complete. This adds a significant layer of robustness, ensuring the rejection holds for a period of time.
4. Visuals & Alerts
• Lines: A horizontal line is drawn from the original pivot to the SFP bar, showing which level was targeted. Note: These lines will only be drawn on chart timeframes equal to or lower than the 'SFP Timeframe'.
• Labels: A label is placed at the SFP's extreme (the high/low of the SFP bar). The label text conveniently includes the Ticker, Pivot TF, SFP TF, and Confirmation bar settings (e.g., "Bearish SFP BTCUSD / Pivot: 1D / SFP: 4H | Conf: 1").
• MTF Boxes (Show SFP Box, Show Conf. Boxes): These boxes highlight the SFP and confirmation bars. Crucially, they are only visible when your chart timeframe is lower than the SFP Timeframe. For example, if your SFP Timeframe is '240' (4H), you will only see these boxes on the 1H, 15M, 5M, etc., charts. This allows you to see the higher-timeframe SFP unfolding on your lower-timeframe chart.
• Alerts (Enable Alerts): An alert is fired only when an SFP is fully confirmed (i.e., after the Confirmation Bars have passed successfully). For efficient, real-time monitoring, it is highly recommended to run this indicator server-side by creating an alert on TradingView set to trigger on "Any alert() function call".
Forecast PriceTime Oracle [CHE] Forecast PriceTime Oracle — Prioritizes quality over quantity by using Power Pivots via RSI %B metric to forecast future pivot highs/lows in price and time
Summary
This indicator identifies potential pivot highs and lows based on out-of-bounds conditions in a modified RSI %B metric, then projects future occurrences by estimating time intervals and price changes from historical medians. It provides visual forecasts via diagonal and horizontal lines, tracks achievement with color changes and symbols, and displays a dashboard for statistical overview including hit rates. Signals are robust due to median-based aggregation, which reduces outlier influence, and optional tolerance settings for near-misses, making it suitable for anticipating reversals in ranging or trending markets.
Motivation: Why this design?
Standard pivot detection often lags or generates false signals in volatile conditions, missing the timing of true extrema. This design leverages out-of-bounds excursions in RSI %B to capture "Power Pivots" early—focusing on quality over quantity by prioritizing significant extrema rather than every minor swing—then uses historical deltas in time and price to forecast the next ones, addressing the need for proactive rather than reactive analysis. It assumes that pivot spacing follows statistical patterns, allowing users to prepare entries or exits ahead of confirmation.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Diverges from traditional ta.pivothigh/low, which require fixed left/right lengths and confirm only after bars close, often too late for dynamic markets.
- Architecture differences:
- Detects extrema during OOB runs rather than post-bar symmetry.
- Aggregates deltas via medians (or alternatives) over a user-defined history, capping arrays to manage resources.
- Applies tolerance thresholds for hit detection, with options for percentage, absolute, or volatility-adjusted (ATR) flexibility.
- Freezes achieved forecasts with visual states to avoid clutter.
- Practical effect: Charts show proactive dashed projections instead of retrospective dots; the dashboard reveals evolving hit rates, helping users gauge reliability over time without manual calculation.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes a smoothed RSI over a specified length, then applies Bollinger Bands to derive %B, flagging out-of-bounds below zero or above one hundred as potential run starts. During these runs, it tracks the extreme high or low price and bar index. Upon exit from the OOB state, it confirms the Power Pivot at that extreme and records the time delta (bars since prior) and price change percentage to rolling arrays.
For forecasts, it calculates the median (or selected statistic) of recent deltas, subtracts the confirmation delay (bars from apex to exit), and projects ahead by that adjusted amount. Price targets use the median change applied to the origin pivot value. Lines are drawn from the apex to the target bar and price, with a short horizontal at the endpoint. Arrays store up to five active forecasts, pruning oldest on overflow.
Tolerance adjusts hit checks: for highs, if the high reaches or exceeds the target (adjusted by tolerance); for lows, if the low drops to or below. Once hit, the forecast freezes, changing colors and symbols, and extends the horizontal to the hit bar. Persistent variables maintain last pivot states across bars; arrays initialize empty and grow until capped at history length.
Parameter Guide
Source: Specifies the data input for the RSI computation, influencing how price action is captured. Default is close. For conservative signals in noisy environments, switch to high; using low boosts responsiveness but may increase false positives.
RSI Length: Sets the smoothing period for the RSI calculation, with longer values helping to filter out whipsaws. Default is 32. Opt for shorter lengths like 14 to 21 on faster timeframes for quicker reactions, or extend to 50 or more in strong trends to enhance stability at the cost of some lag.
BB Length: Defines the period for the Bollinger Bands applied to %B, directly affecting how often out-of-bounds conditions are triggered. Default is 20. Align it with the RSI length: shorter periods detect more potential runs but risk added noise, while longer ones provide better filtering yet might overlook emerging extrema.
BB StdDev: Controls the multiplier for the standard deviation in the bands, where wider settings reduce false out-of-bounds alerts. Default is 2.0. Narrow it to 1.5 for highly volatile assets to catch more signals, or broaden to 2.5 or higher to emphasize only major movements.
Show Price Forecast: Enables or disables the display of diagonal and target lines along with their updates. Default is true. Turn it off for simpler chart views, or keep it on to aid in trade planning.
History Length: Determines the number of recent pivot samples used for median-based statistics, where more history leads to smoother but potentially less current estimates. Default is 50. Start with a minimum of 5 to build data; limit to 100 to 200 to prevent outdated regimes from skewing results.
Max Lookahead: Limits the number of bars projected forward to avoid overly extended lines. Default is 500. Reduce to 100 to 200 for intraday focus, or increase for longer swing horizons.
Stat Method: Selects the aggregation technique for time and price deltas: Median for robustness against outliers, Trimmed Mean (20%) for a balanced trim of extremes, or 75th Percentile for a conservative upward tilt. Default is Median. Use Median for even distributions; switch to Percentile when emphasizing potential upside in trending conditions.
Tolerance Type: Chooses the approach for flexible hit detection: None for exact matches, Percentage for relative adjustments, Absolute for fixed point offsets, or ATR for scaling with volatility. Default is None. Begin with Percentage at 0.5 percent for currency pairs, or ATR for adapting to cryptocurrency swings.
Tolerance %: Provides the relative buffer when using Percentage mode, forgiving small deviations. Default is 0.5. Set between 0.2 and 1.0 percent; higher values accommodate gaps but can overstate hit counts.
Tolerance Points: Establishes a fixed offset in price units for Absolute mode. Default is 0.0010. Tailor to the asset, such as 0.0001 for forex pairs, and validate against past wick behavior.
ATR Length: Specifies the period for the Average True Range in dynamic tolerance calculations. Default is 14. This is the standard setting; shorten to 10 to reflect more recent volatility.
ATR Multiplier: Adjusts the ATR scale for tolerance width in ATR mode. Default is 0.5. Range from 0.3 for tighter precision to 0.8 for greater leniency.
Dashboard Location: Positions the summary table on the chart. Default is Bottom Right. Consider Top Left for better visibility on mobile devices.
Dashboard Size: Controls the text scaling for dashboard readability. Default is Normal. Choose Tiny for dense overlays or Large for detailed review sessions.
Text/Frame Color: Sets the color scheme for dashboard text and borders. Default is gray. Align with your chart theme, opting for lighter shades on dark backgrounds.
Reading & Interpretation
Forecast lines appear as dashed diagonals from confirmed pivots to projected targets, with solid horizontals at endpoints marking price levels. Open targets show a target symbol (🎯); achieved ones switch to a trophy symbol (🏆) in gray, with lines fading to gray. The dashboard summarizes median time/price deltas, sample counts, and hit rates—rising rates indicate improving forecast alignment. Colors differentiate highs (red) from lows (lime); frozen states signal validated projections.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter long on low forecast hits during uptrends (higher highs/lower lows structure); filter with EMA crossovers to ignore counter-trend signals.
- Reversal setups: Short above high projections in overextended rallies; use volume spikes as confirmation to reduce false breaks.
- Exits/Stops: Trail stops to prior pivot lows; conservative on low hit rates (below 50%), aggressive above 70% with tight tolerance.
- Multi-TF: Apply on 1H for entries, 4H for time projections; combine with Ichimoku clouds for confluence on targets.
- Risk management: Position size inversely to delta uncertainty (wider history = smaller bets); avoid low-liquidity sessions.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Confirmation occurs on OOB exit, so live-bar pivots may adjust until close, but projections update only on events to minimize repaint. No security or HTF calls, so no external lookahead issues. Arrays cap at history length with shifts; forecasts limited to five active, pruning FIFO. Loops iterate over small fixed sizes (e.g., up to 50 for stats), efficient on most hardware. Max lines/labels at 500 prevent overflow.
Known limits: Sensitive to OOB parameter tuning—too tight misses runs; assumes stationary pivot stats, which may shift in regime changes like low vol. Gaps or holidays distort time deltas.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Defaults suit forex/crypto on 1H–4H: RSI 32/BB 20 for balanced detection, Median stats over 50 samples, None tolerance for exactness.
- Too many false runs: Increase BB StdDev to 2.5 or RSI Length to 50 for filtering.
- Lagging forecasts: Shorten History Length to 20; switch to 75th Percentile for forward bias.
- Missed near-hits: Enable Percentage tolerance at 0.3% to capture wicks without overcounting.
- Cluttered charts: Reduce Max Lookahead to 200; disable dashboard on lower TFs.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a forecasting visualization layer for pivot-based analysis, highlighting statistical projections from historical patterns. It is not a standalone system—pair with price action, volume, and risk rules. Not predictive of all turns; focuses on OOB-derived extrema, ignoring volume or news impacts.

This indicator is ideal for traders focusing on liquidity hunting, order block analysis, or price action strategies, providing clear visual cues and alerts to enhance decision-making.
ATR Future Movement Range Projection
The "ATR Future Movement Range Projection" is a custom TradingView Pine Script indicator designed to forecast potential price ranges for a stock (or any asset) over short-term (1-month) and medium-term (3-month) horizons. It leverages the Average True Range (ATR) as a measure of volatility to estimate how far the price might move, while incorporating recent momentum bias based on the proportion of bullish (green) vs. bearish (red) candles. This creates asymmetric projections: in bullish periods, the upside range is larger than the downside, and vice versa.
The indicator is overlaid on the chart, plotting horizontal lines for the projected high and low prices for both timeframes. Additionally, it displays a small table in the top-right corner summarizing the projected prices and the percentage change required from the current close to reach them. This makes it useful for traders assessing potential targets, risk-reward ratios, or option strategies, as it combines volatility forecasting with directional sentiment.
Key features:
- **Volatility Basis**: Uses weekly ATR to derive a stable daily volatility estimate, avoiding noise from shorter timeframes.
- **Momentum Adjustment**: Analyzes recent candle colors to tilt projections toward the prevailing trend (e.g., more upside if more green candles).
- **Time Horizons**: Fixed at 1 month (21 trading days) and 3 months (63 trading days), assuming ~21 trading days per month (excluding weekends/holidays).
- **User Adjustable**: The ATR length/lookback (default 50) can be tweaked via inputs.
- **Visuals**: Green/lime lines for highs, red/orange for lows; a semi-transparent table for quick reference.
- **Limitations**: This is a probabilistic projection based on historical volatility and momentum—it doesn't predict direction with certainty and assumes volatility persists. It ignores external factors like news, earnings, or market regimes. Best used on daily charts for stocks/ETFs.
The indicator doesn't generate buy/sell signals but helps visualize "expected" ranges, similar to how implied volatility informs option pricing.
### How It Works Step-by-Step
The script executes on each bar update (typically daily timeframe) and follows this logic:
1. **Input Configuration**:
- ATR Length (Lookback): Default 50 bars. This controls both the ATR calculation period and the candle count window. You can adjust it in the indicator settings.
2. **Calculate Weekly ATR**:
- Fetches the ATR from the weekly timeframe using `request.security` with a length of 50 weeks.
- ATR measures average price range (high-low, adjusted for gaps), representing volatility.
3. **Derive Daily ATR**:
- Divides the weekly ATR by 5 (approximating 5 trading days per week) to get an equivalent daily volatility estimate.
- Example: If weekly ATR is $5, daily ATR ≈ $1.
4. **Define Projection Periods**:
- 1 Month: 21 trading days.
- 3 Months: 63 trading days (21 × 3).
- These are hardcoded but based on standard trading calendar assumptions.
5. **Compute Base Projections**:
- Base projection = Daily ATR × Days in period.
- This gives the total expected movement (range) without direction: e.g., for 3 months, $1 daily ATR × 63 = $63 total range.
6. **Analyze Candle Momentum (Win Rate)**:
- Counts green candles (close > open) and red candles (close < open) over the last 50 bars (ignores dojis where close == open).
- Total colored candles = green + red.
- Win rate = green / total colored (as a fraction, e.g., 0.7 for 70%). Defaults to 0.5 if no colored candles.
- This acts as a simple momentum proxy: higher win rate implies bullish bias.
7. **Adjust Projections Asymmetrically**:
- Upside projection = Base projection × Win rate.
- Downside projection = Base projection × (1 - Win rate).
- This skews the range: e.g., 70% win rate means 70% of the total range allocated to upside, 30% to downside.
8. **Calculate Projected Prices**:
- High = Current close + Upside projection.
- Low = Current close - Downside projection.
- Done separately for 1M and 3M.
9. **Plot Lines**:
- 3M High: Solid green line.
- 3M Low: Solid red line.
- 1M High: Dashed lime line.
- 1M Low: Dashed orange line.
- Lines extend horizontally from the current bar onward.
10. **Display Table**:
- A 3-column table (Projection, Price, % Change) in the top-right.
- Rows for 1M High/Low and 3M High/Low, color-coded.
- % Change = ((Projected price - Close) / Close) × 100.
- Updates dynamically with new data.
The entire process repeats on each new bar, so projections evolve as volatility and momentum change.
### Examples
Here are two hypothetical examples using the indicator on a daily chart. Assume it's applied to a stock like AAPL, but with made-up data for illustration. (In TradingView, you'd add the script to see real outputs.)
#### Example 1: Bullish Scenario (High Win Rate)
- Current Close: $150.
- Weekly ATR (50 periods): $10 → Daily ATR: $10 / 5 = $2.
- Last 50 Candles: 35 green, 15 red → Total colored: 50 → Win Rate: 35/50 = 0.7 (70%).
- Base Projections:
- 1M: $2 × 21 = $42.
- 3M: $2 × 63 = $126.
- Adjusted Projections:
- 1M Upside: $42 × 0.7 = $29.4 → High: $150 + $29.4 = $179.4 (+19.6%).
- 1M Downside: $42 × 0.3 = $12.6 → Low: $150 - $12.6 = $137.4 (-8.4%).
- 3M Upside: $126 × 0.7 = $88.2 → High: $150 + $88.2 = $238.2 (+58.8%).
- 3M Downside: $126 × 0.3 = $37.8 → Low: $150 - $37.8 = $112.2 (-25.2%).
- On the Chart: Green/lime lines skewed higher; table shows bullish % changes (e.g., +58.8% for 3M high).
- Interpretation: Suggests stronger potential upside due to recent bullish momentum; useful for call options or long positions.
#### Example 2: Bearish Scenario (Low Win Rate)
- Current Close: $50.
- Weekly ATR (50 periods): $3 → Daily ATR: $3 / 5 = $0.6.
- Last 50 Candles: 20 green, 30 red → Total colored: 50 → Win Rate: 20/50 = 0.4 (40%).
- Base Projections:
- 1M: $0.6 × 21 = $12.6.
- 3M: $0.6 × 63 = $37.8.
- Adjusted Projections:
- 1M Upside: $12.6 × 0.4 = $5.04 → High: $50 + $5.04 = $55.04 (+10.1%).
- 1M Downside: $12.6 × 0.6 = $7.56 → Low: $50 - $7.56 = $42.44 (-15.1%).
- 3M Upside: $37.8 × 0.4 = $15.12 → High: $50 + $15.12 = $65.12 (+30.2%).
- 3M Downside: $37.8 × 0.6 = $22.68 → Low: $50 - $22.68 = $27.32 (-45.4%).
- On the Chart: Red/orange lines skewed lower; table highlights larger downside % (e.g., -45.4% for 3M low).
- Interpretation: Indicates bearish risk; might prompt protective puts or short strategies.
#### Example 3: Neutral Scenario (Balanced Win Rate)
- Current Close: $100.
- Weekly ATR: $5 → Daily ATR: $1.
- Last 50 Candles: 25 green, 25 red → Win Rate: 0.5 (50%).
- Projections become symmetric:
- 1M: Base $21 → Upside/Downside $10.5 each → High $110.5 (+10.5%), Low $89.5 (-10.5%).
- 3M: Base $63 → Upside/Downside $31.5 each → High $131.5 (+31.5%), Low $68.5 (-31.5%).
- Interpretation: Pure volatility-based range, no directional bias—ideal for straddle options or range trading.
In real use, test on historical data: e.g., if past projections captured actual moves ~68% of the time (1 standard deviation for ATR), it validates the volatility assumption. Adjust the lookback for different assets (shorter for volatile cryptos, longer for stable blue-chips).
Key Levels: Daily, Weekly, Monthly [BackQuant]Key Levels: Daily, Weekly, Monthly
Map the market’s “memory” in one glance—yesterday’s range, this week’s chosen day high/low, and D/W/M opens—then auto-clean levels once they break.
What it does
This tool plots three families of high-signal reference lines and keeps them tidy as price evolves:
Chosen Day High/Low (per week) — Pick a weekday (e.g., Monday). For each past week, the script records that day’s session high and low and projects them forward for a configurable number of bars. These act like “memory levels” that price often revisits.
Daily / Weekly / Monthly Opens — Plots the opening price of each new day, week, and month with separate styling. These opens frequently behave like magnets/flip lines intraday and anchors for regime on higher timeframes.
Auto-pruning — When price breaks a stored level, the script can automatically remove it to reduce clutter and refocus you on still-active lines. See: (broken levels removed).
Why these levels matter
Liquidity pockets — Prior day’s high/low and the daily open concentrate stops and pending orders. Mapping them quickly reveals likely sweep or fade zones. Example: previous day highs + daily open highlighting liquidity:
Context & regime — Monthly opens frame macro bias; trading above a rising cluster of monthly opens vs. below gives a clean top-down read. Example: monthly-only “macro outlook” view:
Cleaner charts — Auto-remove broken lines so you focus on what still matters right now.
What it plots (at a glance)
Past Chosen Day High/Low for up to N prior weeks (your choice), extended right.
Current Daily Open , Weekly Open , and Monthly Open , each with its own color, label, and forward extension.
Optional short labels (e.g., “Mon High”) or full labels (with week/month info).
How breaks are detected & cleaned
You control both the evidence and the timing of a “break”:
Break uses — Choose Close (more conservative) or Wick (more sensitive).
Inclusive? — If enabled, equality counts (≥ high or ≤ low). If disabled, you need a strict cross.
Allow intraday breaks? — If on, a level can break during the tracked day; if off, the script only counts breaks after the session completes.
Remove Broken Levels — When a break is confirmed, the line/label is deleted automatically. (See the demo: )
Quick start
Pick a Day of Week to Track (e.g., Monday).
Set how many weeks back to show (e.g., 8–10).
Choose how far to extend each family (bars to the right for chosen-day H/L and D/W/M opens).
Decide if a break uses Close or Wick , and whether equality counts.
Toggle Remove Broken Levels to keep the chart clean automatically.
Tips by use-case
Intraday bias — Watch the Daily Open as a magnet/flip. If price gaps above and holds, pullbacks to the daily open often decide direction. Pair with last day’s high/low for sweep→reversal or true breakout cues. See:
Weekly structure — Track the week’s chosen day (e.g., Monday) high/low across prior weeks. If price stalls near a cluster of old “Monday Highs,” look for sweep/reject patterns or continuation on reclaim.
Macro regime — Hide daily/weekly lines and keep only Monthly Opens to read bigger cycles at a glance (BTC/crypto especially). Example:
Customization
Use wicks or bodies for highs/lows (wicks capture extremes; bodies are stricter).
Line style & thickness — solid/dashed/dotted, width 1–5, plus global transparency.
Labels — Abbreviated (“Mon High”, “D Open”) or full (month/week/day info).
Color scheme — Separate colors for highs, lows, and each of D/W/M opens.
Capacity controls — Set how many daily/weekly/monthly opens and how many weeks of chosen-day H/L to keep visible.
What’s under the hood
On your selected weekday, the script records that session’s true high and true low (using wicks or body-based extremes—your choice), then projects a horizontal line forward for the next bars.
At each new day/week/month , it records the opening price and projects that line forward as well.
Each bar, the script checks your “break” rules; once broken, lines/labels are removed if auto-cleaning is on.
Everything updates in real time; past levels don’t repaint after the session finishes.
Recommended presets
Day trading — Weeks back: 6–10; extend D/W opens: 50–100 bars; Break uses: Close ; Inclusive: off; Auto-remove: on.
Swing — Fewer daily opens, more weekly opens (2–6), and 8–12 weeks of chosen-day H/L.
Macro — Show only Monthly Opens (1–6 months), dashed style, thicker lines for clarity.

Final note
These are not “signals”—they’re reference points that many participants watch. By standardising how you draw them and automatically clearing the ones that no longer matter, you turn a noisy chart into a focused map: where liquidity likely sits, where price memory lives, and which lines are still in play.
Simplified Market ForecastSimplified Market Forecast Indicator
This indicator pairs nicely with the Contrarian 100 MA and can be located here:
Overview
The "Simplified Market Forecast" (SMF) indicator is a streamlined technical analysis tool designed for traders to identify potential buy and sell opportunities based on a momentum-based oscillator. By analyzing price movements relative to a defined lookback period, SMF generates clear buy and sell signals when the oscillator crosses customizable threshold levels. This indicator is versatile, suitable for various markets (e.g., forex, stocks, cryptocurrencies), and optimized for daily timeframes, though it can be adapted to other timeframes with proper testing. Its intuitive design and visual cues make it accessible for both novice and experienced traders.
How It Works
The SMF indicator calculates a momentum oscillator based on the price’s position within a specified range over a user-defined lookback period. It then smooths this value to reduce noise and plots the result as a line in a separate lower pane. Buy and sell signals are generated when the smoothed oscillator crosses above a user-defined buy level or below a user-defined sell level, respectively. These signals are visualized as triangles either on the main chart or in the lower pane, with a table displaying the current ticker and oscillator value for quick reference.
Key Components
Momentum Oscillator: The indicator measures the price’s position relative to the highest high and lowest low over a specified period, normalized to a 0–100 scale.
Signal Generation: Buy signals occur when the oscillator crosses above the buy level (default: 15), indicating potential oversold conditions. Sell signals occur when the oscillator crosses below the sell level (default: 85), suggesting potential overbought conditions.
Visual Aids: The indicator includes customizable horizontal lines for buy and sell levels, shaded zones for clarity, and a table showing the ticker and current oscillator value.
Mathematical Concepts
Oscillator Calculation: The indicator uses the following formula to compute the raw oscillator value:
c1I = close - lowest(low, medLen)
c2I = highest(high, medLen) - lowest(low, medLen)
fastK_I = (c1I / c2I) * 100
The result is smoothed using a 5-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) to produce the final oscillator value (inter).
Signal Logic:
A buy signal is triggered when the smoothed oscillator crosses above the buy level (ta.crossover(inter, buyLevel)).
A sell signal is triggered when the smoothed oscillator crosses below the sell level (ta.crossunder(inter, sellLevel)).
Entry and Exit Rules
Buy Signal (Blue Triangle): Triggered when the oscillator crosses above the buy level (default: 15), indicating a potential oversold condition and a buying opportunity. The signal appears as a blue triangle either below the price bar (if plotted on the main chart) or at the bottom of the lower pane.
Sell Signal (White Triangle): Triggered when the oscillator crosses below the sell level (default: 85), indicating a potential overbought condition and a selling opportunity. The signal appears as a white triangle either above the price bar (if plotted on the main chart) or at the top of the lower pane.
Exit Rules: Traders can exit positions when an opposite signal occurs (e.g., exit a buy on a sell signal) or based on additional technical analysis tools (e.g., support/resistance, trendlines). Always apply proper risk management.
Recommended Usage
The SMF indicator is optimized for the daily timeframe but can be adapted to other timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H) with careful testing. It performs best in markets with clear momentum shifts, such as trending or range-bound conditions. Traders should:
Backtest the indicator on their chosen asset and timeframe to validate signal reliability.
Combine with other indicators (e.g., moving averages, support/resistance) or price action for confirmation.
Adjust the lookback period and buy/sell levels to suit market volatility and trading style.
Customization Options
Intermediate Length: Adjust the lookback period for the oscillator calculation (default: 31 bars).
Buy/Sell Levels: Customize the threshold levels for buy (default: 15) and sell (default: 85) signals.
Colors: Modify the colors of the oscillator line, buy/sell signals, and threshold lines.
Signal Display: Toggle whether signals appear on the main chart or in the lower pane.
Visual Aids: The indicator includes dotted horizontal lines at the buy (green) and sell (red) levels, with shaded zones between 0–buy level (green) and sell level–100 (red) for clarity.
Ticker Table: A table in the top-right corner displays the current ticker and oscillator value (in percentage), with customizable colors.
Why Use This Indicator?
The "Simplified Market Forecast" indicator provides a straightforward, momentum-based approach to identifying potential reversals in overbought or oversold markets. Its clear signals, customizable settings, and visual aids make it easy to integrate into various trading strategies. Whether you’re a swing trader or a day trader, SMF offers a reliable tool to enhance decision-making and improve market timing.
Tips for Users
Test the indicator thoroughly on your chosen asset and timeframe to optimize settings.
Use in conjunction with other technical tools for stronger trade confirmation.
Adjust the buy and sell levels based on market conditions (e.g., lower levels for less volatile markets).
Monitor the ticker table for real-time oscillator values to gauge market momentum.
Happy trading with the Simplified Market Forecast indicator!
RSI Divergence ProjectionRSI Divergence Projection
Go beyond traditional, lagging indicators with this advanced RSI Divergence tool. It not only identifies four types of confirmed RSI divergence but also introduces a unique, forward-looking engine. This engine spots potential divergences as they form on the current candle and then projects the exact price threshold required to validate them.
Our core innovation is the Divergence Projection Line, a clean, clutter-free visualization that extends this calculated price target into the future, providing a clear and actionable level for your trading decisions.
The Core Logic: Understanding RSI Divergence
For those new to the concept, RSI Divergence is a powerful tool used to spot potential market reversals or continuations. It occurs when the price of an asset is moving in the opposite direction of the Relative Strength Index (RSI). This indicator automatically detects and plots four key types:
Regular Bullish Divergence: Price prints a lower low, but the RSI prints a higher low. This often signals that bearish momentum is fading and a potential reversal to the upside is near.
Hidden Bullish Divergence: Price prints a higher low, but the RSI prints a lower low. This is often seen in an uptrend and can signal a continuation of the bullish move.
Regular Bearish Divergence: Price prints a higher high, but the RSI prints a lower high. This suggests that bullish momentum is weakening and a potential reversal to the downside is coming.
Hidden Bearish Divergence: Price prints a lower high, but the RSI prints a higher high. This is often seen in a downtrend and can signal a continuation of the bearish move.
Confirmed divergences are plotted with solid-colored lines on the price chart and marked with a "B" (Bearish/Bullish) or "HB" (Hidden Bearish/Hidden Bullish) label.
The Core Innovation: The Divergence Projection
This is where the indicator truly shines and sets itself apart. Instead of waiting for a pivot point to be confirmed, our engine analyzes the current, unclosed candle.
Potential Divergence Detection: When the indicator notices that the current price and RSI are setting up for a potential divergence against the last confirmed pivot, it will draw a dashed line on the chart. This gives you a critical head-start before the signal is confirmed.
The Projection Line (Our Innovation): This is the game-changer. Rather than cluttering your chart with messy labels, the indicator calculates the exact closing price the next candle needs to achieve to make the current RSI level equal to the RSI of the last pivot.
It then projects a clean, horizontal dashed line at this price level into the future.
Attached to the end of this line is a single, consolidated label that tells you the type of potential divergence and the exact threshold price.
This unique visualization transforms a vague concept into a precise, actionable price target, completely free of chart clutter.
How to Use This Indicator
1. Trading Confirmed Divergences:
Look for the solid lines and the "B" or "HB" labels that appear after a candle has closed and a pivot is confirmed.
A Regular Bullish divergence can be an entry signal for a long position, often placed after the confirmation candle closes.
A Regular Bearish divergence can be an entry signal for a short position.
Hidden Divergences can be used as confirmation to stay in a trade or to enter a trade in the direction of the prevailing trend.
2. Using the Divergence Projection for a Tactical Advantage:
When a dashed line appears on the current price action, you are seeing a potential divergence in real-time.
Look to the right of the current candle for the Projection Line. The price level of this line is your key level to watch.
Example (Potential Bullish Divergence): You see a dashed green line forming from a previous low to the current lower low. To the right, you see a horizontal line projected with a label: "Potential Bull Div | Thresh: 10,750.50".
Interpretation: This means that if the next candle closes below 10,750.50, the RSI will not be high enough to form a divergence. However, if the price pushes up and the next candle closes above 10,750.50, the bullish divergence remains intact and is more likely to be confirmed. This gives you a concrete price level to monitor for entry or exit decisions.
How the Projection Engine Works: A Deeper Dive
To fully trust this tool, it's helpful to understand the logic behind it. The projection engine is not based on guesswork or repainting; it's based on a precise mathematical reverse-engineering of the RSI formula.
The Concept: The engine calculates the "tipping point." The Threshold Price is the exact closing price at which the new RSI value would be identical to the RSI value of the previous pivot point. It answers the question: "For this potential divergence to remain valid, where does the next candle need to close?"
The Technicals: The script takes the target RSI from the last pivot, reverse-engineers the formula to find the required average gain/loss ratio, and then solves for the one unknown variable: the gain or loss needed on the next candle. This required price change is then added to or subtracted from the previous close to determine the exact threshold price.
This calculation provides the precise closing price needed to hit our target, which is then plotted as the clean and simple Projection Line on your chart.

Whale Fractal Levels (V1.0)What it does
This indicator plots Fractal Levels (Bill Williams pivots) as horizontal lines and prints clean signals for:
BO+ / BO− → Breakouts through the latest fractal high/low
SW↑ / SW↓ → Liquidity sweeps (wick pierces, close rejects)
RE+ / RE− → Retests of the broken level after a confirmed breakout
Cyan = support (fractal lows).
Lilac = resistance (fractal highs).
How it works
Detects fractals with Left/Right = lr. A pivot is confirmed after lr bars on the right → the level itself doesn’t repaint.
Each confirmed fractal spawns a horizontal line extended to the right. You can limit how many lines stay on chart and auto-expire old ones.
Signals reference the most recent fractal high/low only and are edge-triggered (crossover/crossunder) with a cooldown so you don’t get a marker on every bar near the level.
A small state machine remembers the last breakout to validate the next retest.
