Six PillarsGeneral Overview
The "Six Pillars" indicator is a comprehensive trading tool that combines six different technical analysis methods to provide a holistic view of market conditions.
These six pillars are:
Trend
Momentum
Directional Movement (DM)
Stochastic
Fractal
On-Balance Volume (OBV)
The indicator calculates the state of each pillar and presents them in an easy-to-read table format. It also compares the current timeframe with a user-defined comparison timeframe to offer a multi-timeframe analysis.
A key feature of this indicator is the Confluence Strength meter. This unique metric quantifies the overall agreement between the six pillars across both timeframes, providing a score out of 100. A higher score indicates stronger agreement among the pillars, suggesting a more reliable trading signal.
I also included a visual cue in the form of candle coloring. When all six pillars agree on a bullish or bearish direction, the candle is colored green or red, respectively. This feature allows traders to quickly identify potential high-probability trade setups.
The Six Pillars indicator is designed to work across multiple timeframes, offering a comparison between the current timeframe and a user-defined comparison timeframe. This multi-timeframe analysis provides traders with a more comprehensive understanding of market dynamics.
Origin and Inspiration
The Six Pillars indicator was inspired by the work of Dr. Barry Burns, author of "Trend Trading for Dummies" and his concept of "5 energies." (Trend, Momentum, Cycle, Support/Resistance, Scale) I was intrigued by Dr. Burns' approach to analyzing market dynamics and decided to put my own twist upon his ideas.
Comparing the Six Pillars to Dr. Burns' 5 energies, you'll notice I kept Trend and Momentum, but I swapped out Cycle, Support/Resistance, and Scale for Directional Movement, Stochastic, Fractal, and On-Balance Volume. These changes give you a more dynamic view of market strength, potential reversals, and volume confirmation all in one package.
What Makes This Indicator Unique
The standout feature of the Six Pillars indicator is its Confluence Strength meter. This feature calculates the overall agreement between the six pillars, providing traders with a clear, numerical representation of signal strength.
The strength is calculated by considering the state of each pillar in both the current and comparison timeframes, resulting in a score out of 100.
Here's how it calculates the strength:
It considers the state of each pillar in both the current timeframe and the comparison timeframe.
For each pillar, the absolute value of its state is taken. This means that both strongly bullish (2) and strongly bearish (-2) states contribute equally to the strength.
The absolute values for all six pillars are summed up for both timeframes, resulting in two sums: current_sum and alternate_sum.
These sums are then added together to get a total_sum.
The total_sum is divided by 24 (the maximum possible sum if all pillars were at their strongest states in both timeframes) and multiplied by 100 to get a percentage.
The result is rounded to the nearest integer and capped at a minimum of 1.
This calculation method ensures that the Confluence Strength meter takes into account not only the current timeframe but also the comparison timeframe, providing a more robust measure of overall market sentiment. The resulting score, ranging from 1 to 100, gives traders a clear and intuitive measure of how strongly the pillars agree, with higher scores indicating stronger potential signals.
This approach to measuring signal strength is unique in that it doesn't just rely on a single aspect of price action or volume. Instead, it takes into account multiple factors, providing a more robust and reliable indication of potential market moves. The higher the Confluence Strength score, the more confident traders can be in the signal.
The Confluence Strength meter helps traders in several ways:
It provides a quick and easy way to gauge the overall market sentiment.
It helps prioritize potential trades by identifying the strongest signals.
It can be used as a filter to avoid weaker setups and focus on high-probability trades.
It offers an additional layer of confirmation for other trading strategies or indicators.
By combining the Six Pillars analysis with the Confluence Strength meter, I've created a powerful tool that not only identifies potential trading opportunities but also quantifies their strength, giving traders a significant edge in their decision-making process.
How the Pillars Work (What Determines Bullish or Bearish)
While developing this indicator, I selected and configured six key components that work together to provide a comprehensive view of market conditions. Each pillar is set up to complement the others, creating a synergistic effect that offers traders a more nuanced understanding of price action and volume.
Trend Pillar: Based on two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) - a fast EMA (8 period) and a slow EMA (21 period). It determines the trend by comparing these EMAs, with stronger trends indicated when the fast EMA is significantly above or below the slow EMA.
Directional Movement (DM) Pillar: Utilizes the Average Directional Index (ADX) with a default period of 14. It measures trend strength, with values above 25 indicating a strong trend. It also considers the Positive and Negative Directional Indicators (DI+ and DI-) to determine trend direction.
Momentum Pillar: Uses the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) with customizable fast (12), slow (26), and signal (9) lengths. It compares the MACD line to the signal line to determine momentum strength and direction.
Stochastic Pillar: Employs the Stochastic oscillator with a default period of 13. It identifies overbought conditions (above 80) and oversold conditions (below 20), with intermediate zones between 60-80 and 20-40.
Fractal Pillar: Uses Williams' Fractal indicator with a default period of 3. It identifies potential reversal points by looking for specific high and low patterns over the given period.
On-Balance Volume (OBV) Pillar: Incorporates On-Balance Volume with three EMAs - short (3), medium (13), and long (21) periods. It assesses volume trends by comparing these EMAs.
Each pillar outputs a state ranging from -2 (strongly bearish) to 2 (strongly bullish), with 0 indicating a neutral state. This standardized output allows for easy comparison and aggregation of signals across all pillars.
Users can customize various parameters for each pillar, allowing them to fine-tune the indicator to their specific trading style and market conditions. The multi-timeframe comparison feature also allows users to compare pillar states between the current timeframe and a user-defined comparison timeframe, providing additional context for decision-making.
Design
From a design standpoint, I've put considerable effort into making the Six Pillars indicator visually appealing and user-friendly. The clean and minimalistic design is a key feature that sets this indicator apart.
I've implemented a sleek table layout that displays all the essential information in a compact and organized manner. The use of a dark background (#030712) for the table creates a sleek look that's easy on the eyes, especially during extended trading sessions.
The overall design philosophy focuses on presenting complex information in a simple, intuitive format, allowing traders to make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.
The color scheme is carefully chosen to provide clear visual cues:
White text for headers ensures readability
Green (#22C55E) for bullish signals
Blue (#3B82F6) for neutral states
Red (#EF4444) for bearish signals
This color coding extends to the candle coloring, making it easy to spot when all pillars agree on a bullish or bearish outlook.
I've also incorporated intuitive symbols (↑↑, ↑, →, ↓, ↓↓) to represent the different states of each pillar, allowing for quick interpretation at a glance.
The table layout is thoughtfully organized, with clear sections for the current and comparison timeframes. The Confluence Strength meter is prominently displayed, providing traders with an immediate sense of signal strength.
To enhance usability, I've added tooltips to various elements, offering additional information and explanations when users hover over different parts of the indicator.
How to Use This Indicator
The Six Pillars indicator is a versatile tool that can be used for various trading strategies. Here are some general usage guidelines and specific scenarios:
General Usage Guidelines:
Pay attention to the Confluence Strength meter. Higher values indicate stronger agreement among the pillars and potentially more reliable signals.
Use the multi-timeframe comparison to confirm signals across different time horizons.

Support and Resistance Breakouts By RICHIESupport and resistance are fundamental concepts in technical analysis used to identify price levels on charts that act as barriers, preventing the price of an asset from getting pushed in a certain direction. Here’s a detailed description of each and how breakout strategies are typically used:
Support
Support is a price level where a downtrend can be expected to pause due to a concentration of demand. As the price of an asset drops, it hits a level where buyers tend to step in, causing the price to rebound.
Support Level Identification: Support levels are identified by looking at historical data where prices have repeatedly fallen to a certain level but have then rebounded.
Strength of Support: The more times an asset price hits a support level without breaking below it, the stronger that support level is considered to be.
Resistance
Resistance is a price level where an uptrend can be expected to pause due to a concentration of selling interest. As the price of an asset increases, it hits a level where sellers tend to step in, causing the price to drop.
Resistance Level Identification: Resistance levels are identified by looking at historical data where prices have repeatedly risen to a certain level but have then fallen back.
Strength of Resistance: The more times an asset price hits a resistance level without breaking above it, the stronger that resistance level is considered to be.
Breakouts
A breakout occurs when the price moves above a resistance level or below a support level with increased volume. Breakouts can be significant because they suggest a change in supply and demand dynamics, often leading to strong price movements.
Breakout Above Resistance: Indicates a bullish market sentiment. Traders often interpret this as a sign to enter a long position (buy).
Breakout Below Support: Indicates a bearish market sentiment. Traders often interpret this as a sign to enter a short position (sell).
Breakout Trading Strategies
Confirmation: Wait for a candle to close beyond the support or resistance level to confirm the breakout.
Volume: Increased volume on a breakout adds credibility, suggesting that the price move is supported by strong buying or selling interest.
Retest: Sometimes, after a breakout, the price will return to the breakout level to test it as a new support or resistance. This retest offers another entry point.
Stop-Loss: Place stop-loss orders just below the resistance (for long positions) or above the support (for short positions) to limit potential losses in case of a false breakout.
Take-Profit: Identify target levels for taking profits. These can be set based on previous support/resistance levels or using tools like Fibonacci retracements.
Weighted Moving Range with Trend Signals (WMR-TS)Weighted Moving Range with Trend Signals (WMR-TS)
Technical analysis involves analyzing statistical trends from trading activity , such as price movement and volume, to make trading decisions. Technical indicators are mathematical calculations based on the price, volume, or open interest of a security or contract. They are used by traders to analyze price movements and predict future market behavior. The WMR-TS indicator combines weighted moving averages and range calculations to identify key trading levels and generate buy/sell signals. It dynamically adjusts to market conditions, offering traders insights into potential support, resistance, and trend reversal points. Key levels are color-coded for quick interpretation. It utilizes weighted moving averages (WMA) and range calculations to determine these levels, making it a robust tool for both trending and ranging markets.
SUMMARY
Parameters :
WMA Length : Determines the length for the primary weighted moving average.
Highest High Length : Sets the period for calculating the highest high.
Lowest Low Length : Sets the period for calculating the lowest low.
Range Corrector : Adjusts the range calculation slightly for fine-tuning.
Top Level : Multiplier for determining the top level from the calculated range.
Bottom Level : Multiplier for determining the bottom level from the calculated range.
Levels Visibility : Sets how many recent bars will display the levels.
Trading Zones :
Short Area : Highlighted zone indicating potential shorting opportunities.
Long Area : Highlighted zone indicating potential buying opportunities.
The Levels :
Wave (Yellow): Midpoint of the calculated range, adjusted by WMA.
Top Level (Red): Calculated upper boundary of the trading range.
Sell Level (Pink): Intermediate sell level.
Resistance Level (Magenta): Immediate resistance level.
Support Level (Cyan): Immediate support level.
Buy Level (Light Green): Intermediate buy level.
Bottom Level (Dark Green): Calculated lower boundary of the trading range.
Interpreting the Signals :
Hammer Signal : Red circles above bars indicate potential sell signals.
Rocket Signal : Green circles below bars indicate potential buy signals.
KEY CONCEPTS
Highest High and Lowest Low :
These values represent the highest high ( HH ) and lowest low ( LL ) over a specified number of periods.
Support Level :
This is the lower boundary of the trading range. It is a price level where demand is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further. As the price approaches the support level, it is likely to bounce back up.
Resistance Level :
This is the upper boundary of the trading range. It is a price level where supply is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further. As the price approaches the resistance level, it is likely to pull back down.
THE USE OF MULTIPLIERS :
The script uses several multipliers to adjust and fine-tune the calculated support and resistance levels, as well as to control the range and sensitivity of these levels. Here is a detailed explanation of these multipliers and their purpose:
Range Corrector : This multiplier adjusts the calculated high ( H ) and low ( L ) levels, adding flexibility to how these levels are positioned relative to the highest high and lowest low. It ranges from -1 to 1 , with a default value of 0 . The use of positive values increase the range, making the calculated levels further apart. Thus, using negative values decrease the range, bringing the calculated levels closer together.
Top Level : This multiplier adjusts the distance of the top level from the calculated high H ) level. It fluctuates from 0 to 2 , with a default value of 0.382 . Higher values will push the top level further above the high level, while lower values will bring it closer.
Bottom Level : This multiplier adjusts the distance of the bottom support level from the calculated low support level. Ranging from 0 to 2, with a default value of 0.214, the higher values will push the bottom level further below the low level, while lower values will bring it closer.
The script plots the support and resistance levels on the chart, allowing traders to visualize the trading range. Color-coded zones are used to indicate areas where buying or selling opportunities may arise based on the current price relative to the trading range. A trading range refers to the area between a price's support and resistance levels over a specific period of time. Within this range, the price of the security fluctuates up and down but does not break out above the resistance or below the support. Support and resistance levels to make trading decisions. Buying near the support level and selling near the resistance level is a common strategy. When the price moves above the resistance level, it is called a breakout . A breakout often indicates that the price may start a new upward trend . Conversely, when the price moves below the support level, it is called a breakdown . A breakdown often indicates that the price may start a new downward trend . By understanding and utilizing trading ranges, traders can make more informed decisions, optimize their trading strategies, and manage risk more effectively.
Understanding Moving Averages
A moving average (MA) is a widely used technical indicator that helps smooth out price data by creating a constantly updated average price. The main purpose of using a moving average is to identify the direction of the trend and to reduce the "noise" of random price fluctuations. The Weighted Moving Average ( WMA ) assigns different weights to each period, with more recent periods typically given more weight. A 10-day WMA might give the most recent day a weight of 10, the second most recent day a weight of 9, and so on. It is useful for traders who want to emphasize recent price data more than older data. When the price is above the moving average, it suggests an Bullish trend . A Bearish Trend is expected to take place when the price is below the moving average. Understanding the price reactions around these levels can be used to make trading decisions.
APPLYING CONCEPTS
Support and Resistance Calculations in the Script :
The script calculates dynamic support and resistance levels using weighted moving averages ( WMA s) and the highest high and lowest low over specified periods. Buy ( Rocket ) and sell ( Hammer ) signals are generated based on the crossing of the price with calculated top and bottom levels.These signals help traders identify potential entry and exit points within the trading range .
Weighted Moving Average (WMA) Application in the Script
This script calculates a special trendWMA using the close price that helps in creating a more dynamic moving average that considers both high and low price actions. This modified WMA is used in conjunction with highest high and lowest low values over specified periods to calculate dynamic support and resistance levels.
Explanation of the Levels in the Script
By understanding these levels, traders can make more informed decisions about where to enter and exit trades, manage risk, and anticipate potential market movements. The script incorporates several key levels levels that traders can use to better anticipate price movements and make more informed trading decisions. Leveraging the principles of Fibonacci retracement ratios ( 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 100% ) to identify key support and resistance zones can also serve for gauging the overall market sentiment.
Top Level and Sell Leve l: Used to identify potential resistance zones where the price may reverse or pause.
Support Level and Buy Level : Used to identify potential support zones where the price may bounce.
Upper and Lower Pivot Values : Serve as intermediate levels for possible price retracements or extensions within the trading range.
Wave Level : Indicates the central trend direction, which can be useful for gauging the overall market sentiment.
Alerts are a crucial part of the script as they notify traders of potential buy and sell signals based on predefined conditions. There are two main alerts: one for a " Hammer " signal (sell condition) and one for a " Rocket " signal (buy condition).
Adjust the input parameters to fit your trading style and the specific asset being analyzed. Shorter lengths may be more responsive to price changes but can produce more false signals , while longer lengths provide smoother signals but may lag . Always backtest the indicator on historical data to understand its behavior and performance. Also remember that different markets may require different parameter settings for optimal performance.
Keep in mind that by nature like all moving averages, WMAs lag behind price action. This means that signals may be delayed. The indicator performs differently in various market conditions. Always consider the overall market context when interpreting signals.
Adjusting parameters like the range corrector and visibility can help tailor the indicator to specific market conditions or trading strategies, improving its effectiveness. The script uses the calculated levels to plot lines and fill zones on the chart, helping traders visualize potential support, resistance, and trend reversal points. The use of multipliers allows for dynamic adjustment of these levels, making the indicator flexible and adaptable to different market conditions.
I think traders can make more informed decisions about where to enter and exit trades, manage risk, and anticipate potential market movements following this code. Stay safe and always remember that market is always changing. Use this tool if you want, please stay informed and plan safe trades,

Speedometer RevisitedSpeedometer Revisited is a new way to draw custom metric speedometers and is intended to be a utility for other coders to use.
@rumpypumpydumpy originally introduced the Speedometer Toolkit in version 4 of Pine Script. Since then, Pine Script has been updated to version 5, introducing some amazing new features such as polylines and chart.points. This indicator is an example of what can be done with these newer features.
The indicator starts off with a handful of functions that will be used to create the drawings. Notes are left throughout the code explaining what each line of the functions does. My goal was to make these functions user-friendly and somewhat easy to understand. I then demonstrate two examples: one speedometer with five segments and another with three.
The first example demonstrates how to visually represent the analysts' ratings for a stock using the built-in syminfo.recommendations. The speedometer is divided into five segments, each representing a different level of analyst recommendation: strong sell, sell, hold, buy, and strong buy.
Each segment is drawn using a polyline from the createSeg function, with colors assigned as follows:
Red for 'Strong Sell'
Maroon for 'Sell'
Yellow for 'Hold'
Green for 'Buy'
Lime for 'Strong Buy'
The script identifies the maximum value among the analyst ratings, calculates the midpoint of the corresponding segment, and draws a needle pointing to this midpoint.
The second example employs the speedometer design to display market sentiment through the put-call ratio. The put-call ratio is a gauge of investor sentiment, where values above 1 indicate a bearish sentiment (more puts being bought relative to calls), and values below 1 suggest a bullish outlook (more calls being bought relative to puts).
The speedometer is divided into three segments, reflecting different ranges of the put-call ratio:
Red for a ratio greater than 1 (bearish sentiment)
Yellow for a ratio between 0.8 and 1 (neutral to bearish sentiment)
Lime for a ratio less than 0.8 (bullish sentiment)
Depending on the value of the put-call ratio, the script calculates which segment the current value falls into and determines the appropriate segment number. The script calculates the midpoint of the selected segment and draws a needle pointing to this value.
Both examples show how the speedometer can be used as a visual indicator of certain market conditions, helping traders quickly recognize trends and adjust their strategies accordingly.
A big thanks to @rumpypumpydumpy for his original Speedometer Toolbox. I hope this take on it can be useful for other coders.
TrendLine Toolkit w/ Breaks (Real-Time)The TrendLine Toolkit script introduces an innovating capability by extending the conventional use of trendlines beyond price action to include oscillators and other technical indicators. This tool allows traders to automatically detect and display trendlines on any TradingView built-in oscillator or community-built script, offering a versatile approach to trend analysis. With breakout detection and real-time alerts, this script enhances the way traders interpret trends in various indicators.
🔲 Methodology
Trendlines are a fundamental tool in technical analysis used to identify and visualize the direction and strength of a price trend. They are drawn by connecting two or more significant points on a price chart, typically the highs or lows of consecutive price movements (pivots).
Drawing Trendlines:
Uptrend Line - Connects a series of higher lows. It signals an upward price trend.
Downtrend Line - Connects a series of lower highs. It indicates a downward price trend.
Support and Resistance:
Support Line - A trendline drawn under rising prices, indicating a level where buying interest is historically strong.
Resistance Line - A trendline drawn above falling prices, showing a level where selling interest historically prevails.
Identification of Trends:
Uptrend - Prices making higher highs and higher lows.
Downtrend - Prices making lower highs and lower lows.
Sideways (or Range-bound) - Prices moving within a horizontal range.
A trendline helps confirm the existence and direction of a trend, providing guidance in aligning with the prevailing market sentiment. Additionally, they are usually paired with breakout analysis, a breakout occurs when the price breaches a trendline. This signals a potential change in trend direction or an acceleration of the existing trend.
The script adapts this methodology to oscillators and other indicators. Instead of relying on price pivots, which can only be detected in retrospect, the script utilizes a trailing stop on the oscillator to identify potential swings in real-time, you may find more info about it here (SuperTrend toolkit) . We detect swings or pivots simply by testing for crosses between the indicator and its trailing stop.
type oscillator
float o = Oscillator Value
float s = Trailing Stop Value
oscillator osc = oscillator.new()
bool l = ta.crossunder(osc.o, osc.s) => Utilized as a formed high
bool h = ta.crossover (osc.o, osc.s) => Utilized as a formed low
This approach enables the algorithm to detect trendlines between consecutive pivot highs or lows on the oscillator itself, providing a dynamic and immediate representation of trend dynamics.
🔲 Breakout Detection
The script goes beyond trendline creation by incorporating breakout detection directly within the oscillator. After identifying a trendline, the algorithm continuously monitors the oscillator for potential breakouts, signaling shifts in market sentiment.
🔲 Setup Guide
A simple example on one of my public scripts, Z-Score Heikin-Ashi Transformed
🔲 Settings
Source - Choose an oscillator source of which to base the Toolkit on.
Zeroing - The Mid-Line value of the oscillator, for example RSI & MFI use 50.
Sensitivity - Calibrates the Sensitivity of which TrendLines are detected, higher values result in more detections.

3 Bar PlayThe "3 Bar Play" is a simple yet powerful pattern that traders look for as a signal of potential market movement. The pattern is defined by a sequence of three bars (or candlesticks) on the chart:
I saw Rake Trades post about this pattern. It not a new concept just wanted it to automatically be plotted on my chart rather then looking out for it.
Up 3 Bar Play: This pattern signals a potential upward movement.
The first bar (two bars ago from the current bar) must close higher than it opened, indicating a bullish bar.
The second bar (the previous bar) must close lower than it opened, indicating a bearish bar, but its low should be higher than the low of the first bar, showing that bears couldn't push the price much lower.
The third bar (the current bar) must open and close higher than the previous bar, closing above the high of the second bar, confirming the bullish sentiment.
Down 3 Bar Play: This pattern signals a potential downward movement.
The first bar (two bars ago from the current bar) must close lower than it opened, indicating a bearish bar.
The second bar (the previous bar) must close higher than it opened, indicating a bullish bar, but its high should be lower than the high of the first bar, showing that bulls couldn't push the price much higher.
The third bar (the current bar) must open and close lower than the previous bar, closing below the low of the second bar, confirming the bearish sentiment.
Plotting the Patterns
plotshape(): This function is used to plot shapes on the chart to visually highlight where the patterns occur.
For an "Up 3 Bar Play", a green triangle pointing upwards is plotted below the bullish pattern to indicate a potential buy signal.
For a "Down 3 Bar Play", a red triangle pointing downwards is plotted above the bearish pattern to indicate a potential sell signal.
Key Points
This script helps traders quickly identify potential entry points based on the 3 Bar Play pattern without manually scanning the charts.
It's important to remember that no single pattern guarantees market movements, and it's often used in conjunction with other indicators and analysis methods.
This script is a practical tool for those looking to incorporate the 3 Bar Play pattern into their trading strategy, offering a clear visual cue on the chart whenever the pattern is identified.
Please understand the 3 bar play and where you should set your stop loss
Squeeze Momentum DeluxeThe Squeeze Momentum Deluxe is a comprehensive trading toolkit built with features of momentum, volatility, and price action. This script offers a suite for both mean reversion and trend-following analysis. Developed based on the original TTM Squeeze implementation by @LazyBear, this indicator introduces several innovative components to enhance your trading insights.
🔲 Components and Features
Momentum Oscillator - as rooted in the TTM Squeeze, quantifies the relationship between price and its extremes over a defined period. By normalizing the calculation, the values become comparable throughout time and across securities, allowing for a nuanced assessment of Bullish and Bearish momentum. Furthermore, by presenting it as a ribbon with a signal line we gain additional information about the direction of price swings.
Squeeze Bars - The original squeeze concept is based on the relationship between the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channel , once the BB resides inside the KC a squeeze occurs. By understanding their fundamentals a new form of calculation can be inferred.
method bb(float src, simple int len, simple float mult) => method kc(float src, simple int len, simple float mult) =>
float basis = ta.sma (src, len) float basis = ta.sma (src, len)
float dev = ta.stdev(src, len) float rng = ta.atr ( len)
float upper = basis + dev * mult float upper = basis + rng * mult
float lower = basis - dev * mult float lower = basis - rng * mult
Both BB and KC are constructed upon a moving average with the addition of Standard Deviation and Average True Range respectively. Therefore, the calculation can be transformed to when the Stdev is lower than the ATR a squeeze occurs.
method sqz(float src, simple int len) =>
float dev = ta.stdev(src, len)
float atr = ta.atr ( len)
dev < atr ? true : false
This indicator uses three different thresholds for the ATR to gain three levels of price "Squeeze" for further analysis.
Directional Flux- This component measures the overall direction of price volatility, offering insights into trend sentiment. Presented as waves in the background, it includes an OverFlux feature to signal extreme market bias in a particular direction which can signal either exhaustion or vital continuation. Additionally, the user can choose if to base the calculation on Heikin-Ashi Candles to bias the tool toward trend assessment.
Confluence Gauges - Placed at the top and bottom of the indicator, these gauges measure confluence in the relationship between the Momentum Oscillator and Directional Flux. They provide traders with an easily interpretable visual aid for detecting market sentiment. Reversal doritos displayed alongside them contribute to mean reversion analysis.
Divergences (Real-Time) - Equipped with a custom algorithm, the indicator detects real-time divergences between price and the oscillator. This dynamic feature enhances your ability to spot potential trend reversals as they occur.
🔲 Settings
Directional Flux Length - Adjusts the period of which the background volatility waves operate on.
Trend Bias - Bases the calculation of the Flux to HA candles to bias its behavior toward the trend of price action.
Squeeze Momentum Length - Calibrates the length of the main oscillator ribbon as well as the period for the squeeze algorithm.
Signal - Controls the width of the ribbon. Lower values result in faster responsiveness at the cost of premature positives.
Divergence Sensitivity - Adjusts a threshold to limit the amount of divergences detected based on strength. Higher values result in less detections, stronger structure.

Composite Bull-Bear Dominance IndexNote: CREDITS: This is based on the Up Down Volume Indicator (published in Trading View) and Elder Ray Index (Bull Bear Power).
The Composite Bull Bear Dominance Index (CBBDI) is a indicator that combines up down volume analysis with Bull and Bear Power to provide a comprehensive view of market dynamics. It calculates Z-scores for up down volume delta and bull bear power measures, averages them, and then smoothes the result using Weighted Moving Average (WMA) for Bull and Bear Power and Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) for Up and Down Volume Delta. The advantages include responsiveness to short-term trends, noise reduction through weighting, incorporation of volume information, and the ability to identify significant changes in buying and selling pressure. The indicator aims to offer clear signals for traders seeking insights into overall market dominance and indicate if the bulls or the bears have the upper hand.
Volume Analysis (Up/Down Volume Delta):
Up/Down Volume Delta reflects the net difference between buying and selling volume, providing insights into the prevailing market sentiment.
Positive Delta: Indicates potential bullish dominance due to higher buying volume.
Negative Delta: Suggests potential bearish dominance as selling volume surpasses buying volume.
Price Analysis (Bull and Bear Power):
Bull and Bear Power measure the strength of buying and selling forces based on price movements and the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the closing price.
Positive Bull Power: Reflects bullish dominance, indicating potential upward momentum.
Positive Bear Power: Suggests bearish dominance, indicating potential downward momentum.
Composite Bull Bear Dominance Index (CBBDI):
CBBDI combines the standardized Z-scores of Up/Down Volume Delta and Bull Bear Power, providing an average measure of both volume and price-related dominance.
Positive CBBDI: Indicates an overall bullish dominance in both volume and price dynamics.
Negative CBBDI: Suggests an overall bearish dominance in both volume and price dynamics.
Smoothing Techniques:
The use of Weighted Moving Average (WMA) for smoothing Bull and Bear Power Z-scores, and Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) for smoothing Up/Down Volume Delta, reduces noise and provides a clearer trend signal.
Smoothing helps filter out short-term fluctuations and emphasizes more significant trends in both volume and price movements.
Color Coding:
CBBDI values are color-coded based on their direction, visually representing the prevailing market sentiment.

Supply Demand Profiles [LuxAlgo]The Supply Demand Profiles is a charting tool that measures the traded volume at all price levels on the market over a specified time period and highlights the relationship between the price of a given asset and the willingness of traders to either buy or sell it, in other words, highlights key concepts as significant supply & demand zones, the distribution of the traded volume, and market sentiment at specific price levels within a specified time period, allowing traders to reveal dominant and/or significant price levels and to analyze the trading activity of a particular user-selected range.
In other words, this tool highlights key concepts as significant supply & demand zones, the distribution of the traded volume, and market sentiment at specific price levels within a specified time period, allowing traders to reveal dominant and/or significant price levels and to analyze the trading activity of a particular user-selected range.
Besides having the tool as a combo tool, the uniqueness of this version of the tool compared to its early versions is its ability to benefit from different volume data sources and its ability to use a variety of different polarity methods, where polarity is a measure used to divide the total volume into either up volume (trades that moved the price up) or down volume (trades that moved the price down).
🔶 USAGE
Supply & demand zones are presented as horizontal zones across the selected range, hence adding the ability to visualize the price interaction with them
By default, the right side of the profile is the volume profile which highlights the distribution of the traded activity at different price levels, emphasizing the value area, the range of price levels in which the specified percentage of all volume was traded during the time period, and levels of significance, such as developing point of control line, value area high/low lines, and profile high/low labels
The left side of the profile is the sentiment profile which highlights the market sentiment at specific price levels
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Volume data sources
The users have the option to select volume data sources as either 'volume' (regular volume) or 'volume delta', where volume represents all the recorded trades that occur at a given bar and volume delta is the difference between the buying and the selling volume, that is, the net demand at a given bar
🔹 Polarity methods
The users are able to choose the methods of how the tool to take into consideration the polarity of the bar (the direction of a bar, green (bullish) or red (bearish) bar) among a variety of different options, such as 'bar polarity', 'bar buying/selling pressure', 'intrabar (chart bars at a lower timeframe than the chart's) polarity', 'intrabar buying/selling pressure', and 'heikin ashi bar polarity'.
Finally, the interactive mode of the tool is activated, as such users can easily modify the intervals of their interest just by selecting the indicator and moving the points on the chart

[TTI] Closing Range Indicator📜 ––––HISTORY & CREDITS––––
This Pine Script Utility indicator, titled " Closing Range Indicator," is designed and developed by TintinTrading but inspired by the teaching of Investor's Business Daily (IBD) and William O'Neil. It aims to help traders identify the closing range of a given timeframe, either daily or weekly.
🦄 –––UNIQUENESS–––
The unique feature of this indicator lies in its ability to simulate a functionality of Closing Range calculation based on hovering of the mouse over the close. It employs a conditional display that allows the user to set the indicator as 'invisible' without removing it from the chart and hence provides a numerical closing range value when hovering over the indicator.
🛠️ ––––WHAT IT DOES––––
The Closing Range Indicator calculates the closing range of a trading bar in terms of percentages. It computes the difference between the closing price and the low price of the bar, and then divides it by the range of the bar.
A stock that closes on the high would display 100%
A stock that closes on the low would display 0%
Generally, the higher the percentage the more bullish the close but there are exceptions to this rule.
The indicator can operate on two timeframes:
Daily : Computes the closing range based on the daily high, low, and closing prices.
Weekly : Computes the closing range based on the weekly high, low, and closing prices. If you enable the weekly it will show the weekly close on all daily timeframes. Meaning that if the week Closing range is 54.15% on Friday, it will show the value 54.15% for all days prior to Friday from the same week.
The indicator places a label at the close of each bar, with the label's tooltip showing the calculated closing range percentage. I generally hide the label and just reference the tooltip calculation with a a hoover on top of the bar.
💡 ––––HOW TO USE IT––––
Installation: Add the indicator to your TradingView chart by searching for " Closing Range Indicator" in the indicator library.
Reorder: Reorder the indicator so that it sits as the first indicator (even above the price) on the Pane. This will make sure that you always trigger the tooltip functionality.
Go to Settings:
Timeframe: Choose between daily ('D') and weekly ('W') timeframes from the settings.
Visibility: Enable the 'Make Invisible' option if you want the indicator to be hidden.
Interpretation:
A higher percentage indicates that the closing price is closer to the high of the range, signaling bullish sentiment.
A lower percentage indicates bearish sentiment.
Tooltip: Hover over the label to view the closing range in percentage terms.

Major and Minor Trend Indicator by Nikhil34a V 2.2Title: Major and Minor Trend Indicator by Nikhil34a V 2.2
Description:
The Major and Minor Trend Indicator v2.2 is a comprehensive technical analysis script designed for use with the TradingView platform. This powerful tool is developed in Pine Script version 5 and helps traders identify potential buying and selling opportunities in the stock market.
Features:
SMA Trend Analysis: The script calculates two Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) with user-defined lengths for major and minor trends. It displays these SMAs on the chart, allowing traders to visualize the prevailing trends easily.
Surge Detection: The indicator can detect buying and selling surges based on specific conditions, such as volume, RSI, MACD, and stochastic indicators. Both Buying and Selling surges are marked in black on the chart.
Option Buy Zone Detection: The script identifies the option buy zone based on SMA crossovers, RSI, and MACD values. The buy zone is categorized as "CE Zone" or "PE Zone" and displayed in the table along with the trigger time.
Two-Day High and Low Range: The script calculates the highest high and lowest low of the previous two trading days and plots them on the chart. The area between these points is shaded in semi-transparent green and red colors.
Crossover Analysis: The script analyzes moving average crossovers on multiple timeframes (2-minute, 3-minute, and 5-minute) and displays buy and sell signals accordingly.
Trend Identification: The script identifies the major and minor trends as either bullish or bearish, providing valuable insights into the overall market sentiment.
Usage:
Customize Major and Minor SMA Periods: Adjust the lengths of major and minor SMAs through input parameters to suit your trading preferences.
Enable/Disable Moving Averages: Choose which SMAs to display on the chart by toggling the "showXMA" input options.
Set Surge and Option Buy Zone Thresholds: Modify the surgeThreshold, volumeThreshold, RSIThreshold, and StochThreshold inputs to refine the surge and buy zone detection.
Analyze Crossover Signals: Monitor the crossover signals in the table, categorized by timeframes (2-minute, 3-minute, and 5-minute).
Explore Market Bias and Distance to 2-Day High/Low: The table provides information on market bias, current price movement relative to the previous two-day high and low, and the option buy zone status.
Additional Use Cases:
Surge Indicator:
The script includes a Surge Indicator that detects sudden buying or selling surges in the market. When a buying surge is identified, the "BSurge" label will appear below the corresponding candle with black text on a white background. Similarly, a selling surge will display the "SSurge" label in white text on a black background. These indicators help traders quickly spot strong buying or selling activities that may influence their trading decisions. These surges can be used to identify sudden premium dump zones.
Option Buy Zone:
The Option Buy Zone is an essential feature that identifies potential zones for buying call options (CE Zone) or put options (PE Zone) based on specific technical conditions. The indicator evaluates SMA crossovers, RSI, and MACD values to determine the current market sentiment. When the option buy zone is triggered, the script will display the respective zone ("CE Zone" or "PE Zone") in the table, highlighted with a white background. Additionally, the time when the buy zone was triggered will be shown under the "Option Buy Zone Trigger Time" column.
Price Movement Relative to 2-Day High/Low:
The script calculates the highest high and lowest low of the previous two trading days (high2DaysAgo and low2DaysAgo) and plots these points on the chart. The area between these two points is shaded in semi-transparent green and red colors. The green region indicates the price range between the highpricetoconsider (highest high of the previous two days) and the lower value between highPreviousDay and high2DaysAgo. Similarly, the red region represents the price range between the lowpricetoconsider (lowest low of the previous two days) and the higher value between lowPreviousDay and low2DaysAgo.
Entry Time and Current Zone:
The script identifies potential entry times for trades within the option buy zone. When a valid buy zone trigger occurs, the script calculates the entryTime by adding the durationInMinutes (user-defined) to the startTime. The entryTime will be displayed in the "Entry Time" column of the table. Depending on the comparison between optionbuyzonetriggertime and entryTime, the background color of the entry time will change. If optionbuyzonetriggertime is greater than entryTime, the background color will be yellow, indicating that a new trigger has occurred before the specified duration. Otherwise, the background color will be green, suggesting that the entry time is still within the defined duration.
Current Zone Indicator:
The script further categorizes the current zone as either "CE Zone" (call option zone) or "PE Zone" (put option zone). When the market is trending upwards and the minor SMA is above the major SMA, the currentZone will be set to "CE Zone." Conversely, when the market is trending downwards and the minor SMA is below the major SMA, the currentZone will be "PE Zone." This information is displayed in the "Current Zone" column of the table.
These additional use cases empower traders with valuable insights into market trends, buying and selling surges, option buy zones, and potential entry times. Traders can combine this information with their analysis and risk management strategies to make informed and confident trading decisions.
Note:
The script is optimized for identifying trends and potential trade opportunities. It is crucial to perform additional analysis and risk management before executing any trades based on the provided signals.

Volatility Compression BreakoutThe Volatility Compression Breakout indicator is designed to identify periods of low volatility followed by potential breakout opportunities in the market. It aims to capture moments when the price consolidates within a narrow range, indicating a decrease in volatility, and anticipates a subsequent expansion in price movement. This indicator can be applied to any financial instrument and timeframe.
When the close price is above both the Keltner Middle line and the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), the bars are colored lime green, indicating a potential bullish market sentiment. When the close price is positioned above the Keltner Middle but below the EMA, or below the Keltner Middle but above the EMA, the bars are colored yellow, signifying a neutral or indecisive market condition. Conversely, when the close price falls below both the Keltner Middle and the EMA, the bars are colored fuchsia, suggesting a potential bearish market sentiment.
Additionally, the coloration of the Keltner Middle line and the EMA provides further visual cues for assessing the trend. When the close price is above the Keltner Middle, the line is colored lime green, indicating a bullish trend. Conversely, when the close price is below the Keltner Middle, the line is colored fuchsia, highlighting a bearish trend. Similarly, the EMA line is colored lime green when the close price is above it, representing a bullish trend, and fuchsia when the close price is below it, indicating a bearish trend.
Parameters
-- Compression Period : This parameter determines the lookback period used to calculate the volatility compression. A larger value will consider a longer historical period for volatility analysis, potentially capturing broader market conditions. Conversely, a smaller value focuses on more recent price action, providing a more responsive signal to current market conditions.
-- Compression Multiplier : The compression multiplier is a factor applied to the Average True Range (ATR) to determine the width of the Keltner Channels. Increasing the multiplier expands the width of the channels, allowing for a larger price range before a breakout is triggered. Decreasing the multiplier tightens the channels and requires a narrower price range for a breakout signal.
-- EMA Period : This parameter sets the period for the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which acts as a trend filter. The EMA helps identify the overall market trend and provides additional confirmation for potential breakouts. Adjusting the period allows you to capture shorter or longer-term trends, depending on your trading preferences.
How Changing Parameters Can Be Beneficial
Modifying the parameters allows you to adapt the indicator to different market conditions and trading styles. Increasing the compression period can help identify broader volatility patterns and major market shifts. On the other hand, decreasing the compression period provides more precise and timely signals for short-term traders.
Adjusting the compression multiplier affects the width of the Keltner Channels. Higher multipliers increase the breakout threshold, filtering out smaller price movements and providing more reliable signals during significant market shifts. Lower multipliers make the indicator more sensitive to smaller price ranges, generating more frequent but potentially less reliable signals.
The EMA period in the trend filter helps you align your trades with the prevailing market direction. Increasing the EMA period smoothes out the trend, filtering out shorter-term fluctuations and focusing on more sustained moves. Decreasing the EMA period allows for quicker responses to changes in trend, capturing shorter-term price swings.
Potential Downsides
While the Volatility Compression Breakout indicator can provide valuable insights into potential breakouts, it's important to note that no indicator guarantees accuracy or eliminates risk. False breakouts and whipsaw movements can occur, especially in volatile or choppy market conditions. It is recommended to combine this indicator with other technical analysis tools and consider fundamental factors to validate potential trade opportunities.
Making It Work for You
To maximize the effectiveness of the Volatility Compression Breakout indicator, consider the following:
-- Combine it with other indicators : Use complementary indicators such as trend lines, oscillators, or support and resistance levels to confirm signals and increase the probability of successful trades.
-- Practice risk management : Set appropriate stop-loss levels to protect your capital in case of false breakouts or adverse price movements. Consider implementing trailing stops or adjusting stop-loss levels as the trade progresses.
-- Validate with price action : Analyze the price action within the compression phase and look for signs of building momentum or weakening trends. Support your decisions by observing candlestick patterns and volume behavior during the breakout.
-- Backtest and optimize : Test the indicator's performance across different timeframes and market conditions. Optimize the parameters based on historical data to find the most suitable settings for your trading strategy.
Remember, no single indicator can guarantee consistent profitability, and it's essential to use the Volatility Compression Breakout indicator as part of a comprehensive trading plan. Regularly review and adapt your strategy based on market conditions and your trading experience. Monitor the indicator's performance and make necessary adjustments to parameter values if the market dynamics change.
By adjusting the parameters and incorporating additional analysis techniques, you can customize the indicator to suit your trading style and preferences. However, it is crucial to exercise caution, conduct thorough analysis, and practice proper risk management to increase the likelihood of successful trades. Remember that no indicator can guarantee profits, and continuous learning and adaptation are key to long-term trading success.

Trend Intensity Index With SignalLineHi guys,
This is my first public script on TV. I was just messing about with some simple ideas and I noticed that the difference between a signalLine and the TrendIntensity line was (potentially and theoretically) a good way of spotting a ranging market.
I was initially just going to release Evergets version of this with a histogram and a signal-line, but I decided I'd much rather put in the work and code it from scratch so I could practice my coding.
I am still relatively new to Pinescript, but I have compared this to Evergets version, and on the same settings it is 1 to 1.
How to use:
When TrendIntensity(aqua) is above SignalMa (maroon), it implies a bullish sentiment.
When SignalMa is above TrendIntensity, it implies a bearish sentiment.
The histogram is simply the absolute difference between the two. Green = bullish, Red = bearish, flat = potentially ranging.
Enjoy guys.
I would like to thank Everget for his Jurik moving average.
Feedback welcome, but be kind... this is free and open for you all to use as you please.
