Swing High/Low Pivots Strategy [LV]The Swing High/Low Pivots Strategy was developed as a counter-momentum trading tool.
The strategy is suitable for any market and the default values used in the input settings menu are set for Bitcoin (best on 15min). These values, expressed in minimum ticks (or pips if symbol is Forex) make this tool perfectly adaptable to every symbol and/or timeframe.
Check tooltips in the settings menu for more details about every user input.
STRTEGY ENTRY & EXIT MECHANISMS:
Trades Entry based on the detection of swing highs and lows for short and long entries respectively, validated by:
- Limit orders placed after each new pivot level confirmation
- Moving averages trend filter (if enabled)
- No active trade currently open
Trades Exit when the price reaches take-profit or stop-loss level as defined in the settings menu. A double entry/second take-profit level can be enabled for partial exits, with dynamic stop-loss adjustment for the remaining position.
Enhanced Trade Precision:
By limiting entries to confirmed swing high (HH, LH) or swing low (HL, LL) pivot points, the strategy ensures that trades occur at levels of significant price reversals. This precision reduces the likelihood of entering trades in the midst of a trend or during uncertain price action.
Risk Management Optimization:
The strategy incorporates clearly defined stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) levels derived from the pivot points. This structured approach minimizes potential losses while locking in profits, which is critical for consistent performance in volatile markets.
Trend Filtering for Better Entry:
The use of a configurable moving average filter adds a layer of trend validation. This prevents entering trades against the dominant market trend, increasing the probability of success for each trade.
Avoidance of Noise:
The lookback period (length parameter) confirms pivots only after a set number of bars, effectively filtering out market noise and ensuring that entries are based on reliable, well-defined price movements.
Adaptability Across Markets:
The strategy is versatile and can be applied across different markets (Forex, stocks, crypto) due to its dynamic use of ticks and pips converters. It adapts seamlessly to varying price scales and asset types.
Dual Quantity Entries:
The original and optionnal double-entry mechanism allows traders to capture both short-term and extended profits by scaling out of positions. This adaptive approach caters to varying risk appetites and market conditions.
Clear Visualization:
The plotted pivot points, entry limits, SL, and TP levels provide visual clarity, making it easy for traders to track the strategy's behavior and make informed decisions.
Automated Execution with Alerts:
Integrated alerts for both entries and exits ensure timely actions without the need for constant market monitoring, enhancing efficiency. Configurable alert messages are suitable for API use.
Any feedback, comments, or suggestions for improvement are always welcome.
Hope you enjoy!

Dual Zigzag [Trendoscope®]🎲 Dual Zigzag indicator is built on recursive zigzag algorithm. It is very similar to other zigzag indicators published by us and other authors. However, the key point here is, the indicator draws zigzag on both price and any other plot based indicator on separate layouts.
Before we get into the indicator, here are some brief descriptions of the underlying concepts and key terminologies
🎯 Zigzag
Zigzag indicator breaks down price or any input series into a series of Pivot Highs and Pivot Lows alternating between each other. Zigzags though shows pivot high and lows, should not be used for buying at low and selling at high. The main application of zigzag indicator is for the visualisation of market structure and this can be used as basic building block for any pattern recognition algorithms.
🎯 Recursive Zigzag Algorithm
Recursive zigzag algorithm builds zigzag on multiple levels and each level of zigzag is based on the previous level pivots. The level zero zigzag is built on price. However, for level 1, instead of price level 0 zigzag pivots are used. Similarly for level 2, level 1 zigzag pivots are used as base.
🎲 Components Dual Zigzag Indicator
Here are the components of Dual zigzag indicator
Built in Oscillator - Indicator has built in oscillator options for plotting RSI (Relative Strength Index), MFI (Money Flow Index), cci (Commodity Channel Index) , CMO (Chande Momentum Oscillator), COG (Center of Gravity), and ROC (Rate of Change). Apart from the given built in oscillators, users can also use a custom external output as base. The oscillators are not printed on the price pane. But, printed on a separate indicator overlay.
Zigzag On Oscillator - Recursive zigzag is calculated and printed on the oscillator series. Each pivot high and pivot low also prints a label having the retracement ratios, and price levels at those points. Zigzag on the oscillator is also printed on the indicator overlay pane.
Zigzag on Price - Recursive zigzag calculated based on price and printed on the price pane. This is made possible by using force_overlay option present in the drawing objects. At each zigzag pivot levels, the label having price retracement ratios, and oscillator values are printed.
It is called dual zigzag because, the indicator calculates the zigzag on both price and oscillator series of values and prints them separately on different panes on the chart.
🎲 Indicator Settings
Settings include
Theme display settings to get the right colour combination to match the background.
Zigzag settings to be used for zigzag calculation and display
Oscillator settings to chose the oscillator to be used as base for 2nd zigzag
🎲 Applications
Useful in spotting divergences with both indicator and price having their own zigzag to highlight pivots
Spotting patterns in indicators/oscillators and correlate them with the patterns on price
🎲 Using External Input
If users want to use an external indicator such as OBV instead of the built in oscillators, then can do so by using the custom option.
Here is how this can be done.
Step1. Add both Dual Zigzag and the intended indicator (in this case OBV) on the chart. Notice that both OBV and Dual zigzag appear on different panes.
Step2. Edit the indicator settings of Dual zigzag and set custom indicator by selecting "custom" as oscillator name and then by setting the custom external indicator name and input.
Step 3. You would notice that the zigzag in Dual Zigzag indictor pane is already showing the zigzag pivots based on the OBV indicator and the price pivots display obv values at the pivot points. We can leave this as is.
Step 4. As an additional step, you can also merge the OBV pane and the Dual zigzag indicator pane into one by going into OBV settings and moving the indicator to above pane. Merge the scales so that there is no two scales on the same pane and the entire scale appear on the right.
At the end, you should see two panes - one with price and other with OBV and both having their zigzag plotted.
4-Year Cycles [jpkxyz]Overview of the Script
I wanted to write a script that encompasses the wide-spread macro fund manager investment thesis: "Crypto is simply and expression of macro." A thesis pioneered by the likes of Raoul Pal (EXPAAM) , Andreesen Horowitz (A16Z) , Joe McCann (ASYMETRIC) , Bob Loukas and many more.
Cycle Theory Background:
The 2007-2008 financial crisis transformed central bank monetary policy by introducing:
- Quantitative Easing (QE): Creating money to buy assets and inject liquidity
- Coordinated global monetary interventions
Proactive 4-year economic cycles characterised by:
- Expansionary periods (low rates, money creation)
- Followed by contraction/normalisation
Central banks now deliberately manipulate liquidity, interest rates, and asset prices to control economic cycles, using monetary policy as a precision tool rather than a blunt instrument.
Cycle Characteristics (based on historical cycles):
- A cycle has 4 seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter)
- Each season with a cycle lasts 365 days
- The Cycle Low happens towards the beginning of the Spring Season of each new cycle
- This is followed by a run up throughout the Spring and Summer Season
- The Cycle High happens towards the end of the Fall Season
- The Winter season is characterised by price corrections until establishing a new floor in the Spring of the next cycle
Key Functionalities
1. Cycle Tracking
- Divides market history into 4-year cycles (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter)
- Starts tracking cycles from 2011 (first cycle after the 2007 crisis cycle)
- Identifies and marks cycle boundaries
2. Visualization
- Colors background based on current cycle season
- Draws lines connecting:
- Cycle highs and lows
- Inter-cycle price movements
- Adds labels showing:
- Percentage gains/losses between cycles
- Number of days between significant points
3. Customization Options
- Allows users to customize:
- Colors for each season
- Line and label colors
- Label size
- Background opacity
Detailed Mechanism
Cycle Identification
- Uses a modulo calculation to determine the current season in the 4-year cycle
- Preset boundary years include 2015, 2019, 2023, 2027
- Automatically tracks and marks cycle transitions
Price Analysis
- Tracks highest and lowest prices within each cycle
- Calculates percentage changes:
- Intra-cycle (low to high)
- Inter-cycle (previous high to current high/low)
Visualization Techniques
- Background color changes based on current cycle season
- Dashed and solid lines connect significant price points
- Labels provide quantitative insights about price movements
Unique Aspects
1. Predictive Cycle Framework: Provides a structured way to view market movements beyond traditional technical analysis
2. Seasonal Color Coding: Intuitive visual representation of market cycle stages
3. Comprehensive Price Tracking: Captures both intra-cycle and inter-cycle price dynamics
4. Highly Customizable: Users can adjust visual parameters to suit their preferences
Potential Use Cases
- Technical analysis for long-term investors
- Identifying market cycle patterns
- Understanding historical price movement rhythms
- Educational tool for market cycle theory
Limitations/Considerations
- Based on a predefined 4-year cycle model (Liquidity Cycles)
- Historic Cycle Structures are not an indication for future performance
- May not perfectly represent all market behavior
- Requires visual interpretation
This script is particularly interesting for investors who believe in cyclical market theories and want a visual, data-driven representation of market stages.
Median Deviation Suite [InvestorUnknown]The Median Deviation Suite uses a median-based baseline derived from a Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) and layers multiple deviation measures around it. By comparing price to these deviation-based ranges, it attempts to identify trends and potential turning points in the market. The indicator also incorporates several deviation types—Average Absolute Deviation (AAD), Median Absolute Deviation (MAD), Standard Deviation (STDEV), and Average True Range (ATR)—allowing traders to visualize different forms of volatility and dispersion. Users should calibrate the settings to suit their specific trading approach, as the default values are not optimized.
Core Components
Median of a DEMA:
The foundation of the indicator is a Median applied to the 7-day DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average). DEMA aims to reduce lag compared to simple or exponential moving averages. By then taking a median over median_len periods of the DEMA values, the indicator creates a robust and stable central tendency line.
float dema = ta.dema(src, 7)
float median = ta.median(dema, median_len)
Multiple Deviation Measures:
Around this median, the indicator calculates several measures of dispersion:
ATR (Average True Range): A popular volatility measure.
STDEV (Standard Deviation): Measures the spread of price data from its mean.
MAD (Median Absolute Deviation): A robust measure of variability less influenced by outliers.
AAD (Average Absolute Deviation): Similar to MAD, but uses the mean absolute deviation instead of median.
Average of Deviations (avg_dev): The average of the above four measures (ATR, STDEV, MAD, AAD), providing a combined sense of volatility.
Each measure is multiplied by a user-defined multiplier (dev_mul) to scale the width of the bands.
aad = f_aad(src, dev_len, median) * dev_mul
mad = f_mad(src, dev_len, median) * dev_mul
stdev = ta.stdev(src, dev_len) * dev_mul
atr = ta.atr(dev_len) * dev_mul
avg_dev = math.avg(aad, mad, stdev, atr)
Deviation-Based Bands:
The indicator creates multiple upper and lower lines based on each deviation type. For example, using MAD:
float mad_p = median + mad // already multiplied by dev_mul
float mad_m = median - mad
Similar calculations are done for AAD, STDEV, ATR, and the average of these deviations. The indicator then determines the overall upper and lower boundaries by combining these lines:
float upper = f_max4(aad_p, mad_p, stdev_p, atr_p)
float lower = f_min4(aad_m, mad_m, stdev_m, atr_m)
float upper2 = f_min4(aad_p, mad_p, stdev_p, atr_p)
float lower2 = f_max4(aad_m, mad_m, stdev_m, atr_m)
This creates a layered structure of volatility envelopes. Traders can observe which layers price interacts with to gauge trend strength.
Determining Trend
The indicator generates trend signals by assessing where price stands relative to these deviation-based lines. It assigns a trend score by summing individual signals from each deviation measure. For instance, if price crosses above the MAD-based upper line, it contributes a bullish point; crossing below an ATR-based lower line contributes a bearish point.
When the aggregated trend score crosses above zero, it suggests a shift towards a bullish environment; crossing below zero indicates a bearish bias.
// Define Trend scores
var int aad_t = 0
if ta.crossover(src, aad_p)
aad_t := 1
if ta.crossunder(src, aad_m)
aad_t := -1
var int mad_t = 0
if ta.crossover(src, mad_p)
mad_t := 1
if ta.crossunder(src, mad_m)
mad_t := -1
var int stdev_t = 0
if ta.crossover(src, stdev_p)
stdev_t := 1
if ta.crossunder(src, stdev_m)
stdev_t := -1
var int atr_t = 0
if ta.crossover(src, atr_p)
atr_t := 1
if ta.crossunder(src, atr_m)
atr_t := -1
var int adev_t = 0
if ta.crossover(src, adev_p)
adev_t := 1
if ta.crossunder(src, adev_m)
adev_t := -1
int upper_t = src > upper ? 3 : 0
int lower_t = src < lower ? 0 : -3
int upper2_t = src > upper2 ? 1 : 0
int lower2_t = src < lower2 ? 0 : -1
float trend = aad_t + mad_t + stdev_t + atr_t + adev_t + upper_t + lower_t + upper2_t + lower2_t
var float sig = 0
if ta.crossover(trend, 0)
sig := 1
else if ta.crossunder(trend, 0)
sig := -1
Practical Usage and Calibration
Default settings are not optimized: The given parameters serve as a starting point for demonstration. Users should adjust:
median_len: Affects how smooth and lagging the median of the DEMA is.
dev_len and dev_mul: Influence the sensitivity of the deviation measures. Larger multipliers widen the bands, potentially reducing false signals but introducing more lag. Smaller multipliers tighten the bands, producing quicker signals but potentially more whipsaws.
This flexibility allows the trader to tailor the indicator for various markets (stocks, forex, crypto) and time frames.
Backtesting and Performance Metrics
The code integrates with a backtesting library that allows traders to:
Evaluate the strategy historically
Compare the indicator’s signals with a simple buy-and-hold approach
Generate performance metrics (e.g., mean returns, Sharpe Ratio, Sortino Ratio) to assess historical effectiveness.
Disclaimer
No guaranteed results: Historical performance does not guarantee future outcomes. Market conditions can vary widely.
User responsibility: Traders should combine this indicator with other forms of analysis, appropriate risk management, and careful calibration of parameters.

R-based Strategy Template [Daveatt]Have you ever wondered how to properly track your trading performance based on risk rather than just profits?
This template solves that problem by implementing R-multiple tracking directly in TradingView's strategy tester.
This script is a tool that you must update with your own trading entry logic.
Quick notes
Before we dive in, I want to be clear: this is a template focused on R-multiple calculation and visualization.
I'm using a basic RSI strategy with dummy values just to demonstrate how the R tracking works. The actual trading signals aren't important here - you should replace them with your own strategy logic.
R multiple logic
Let's talk about what R-multiple means in practice.
Think of R as your initial risk per trade.
For instance, if you have a $10,000 account and you're risking 1% per trade, your 1R would be $100.
A trade that makes twice your risk would be +2R ($200), while hitting your stop loss would be -1R (-$100).
This way of measuring makes it much easier to evaluate your strategy's performance regardless of account size.
Whenever the SL is hit, we lose -1R
Proof showing the strategy tester whenever the SL is hit: i.imgur.com
The magic happens in how we calculate position sizes.
The script automatically determines the right position size to risk exactly your specified percentage on each trade.
This is done through a simple but powerful calculation:
risk_amount = (strategy.equity * (risk_per_trade_percent / 100))
sl_distance = math.abs(entry_price - sl_price)
position_size = risk_amount / (sl_distance * syminfo.pointvalue)
Limitations with lower timeframe gaps
This ensures that if your stop loss gets hit, you'll lose exactly the amount you intended to risk. No more, no less.
Well, could be more or less actually ... let's assume you're trading futures on a 15-minute chart but in the 1-minute chart there is a gap ... then your 15 minute SL won't get filled and you'll likely to not lose exactly -1R
This is annoying but it can't be fixed - and that's how trading works anyway.
Features
The template gives you flexibility in how you set your stop losses. You can use fixed points, ATR-based stops, percentage-based stops, or even tick-based stops.
Regardless of which method you choose, the position sizing will automatically adjust to maintain your desired risk per trade.
To help you track performance, I've added a comprehensive statistics table in the top right corner of your chart.
It shows you everything you need to know about your strategy's performance in terms of R-multiples: how many R you've won or lost, your win rate, average R per trade, and even your longest winning and losing streaks.
Happy trading!
And remember, measuring your performance in R-multiples is one of the most classical ways to evaluate and improve your trading strategies.

CandelaCharts - Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) 📝 Overview
The Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) indicator is designed to identify and highlight Swing Failure Patterns on a user’s chart. This pattern typically emerges when significant market participants generate liquidity by driving price action to key levels. An SFP occurs when the price temporarily breaks above a resistance level or below a support level, only to quickly reverse and return within the previous range. These movements are often associated with stop-loss hunting or liquidity grabs, providing traders with potential opportunities to anticipate reversals or key market turning points.
A Bullish SFP occurs when the price dips below a key support level, triggering stop-loss orders, but then swiftly reverses upward, signaling a potential upward trend or reversal.
A Bearish SFP happens when the price spikes above a key resistance level, triggering stop-losses of short positions, but then quickly reverses downward, indicating a potential bearish trend or reversal.
The indicator is a powerful tool for traders, helping to identify liquidity grabs and potential reversal points in real-time. By marking bullish and bearish Swing Failure Patterns on the chart, it provides clear visual cues for spotting market traps set by major players, enabling more informed trading decisions and improved risk management.

📒 Usage
The best approach is to combine a few complementary indicators to gain a clearer market perspective. This doesn’t mean relying on the Golden Cross, RSI divergences, SFPs, and funding rates simultaneously, but rather focusing on one or two that align well in a given scenario.
The example above demonstrates the confluence of a Bearish Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) with an RSI divergence. This combination strengthens the signal, as the Bearish SFP indicates a potential reversal after a liquidity grab, while the RSI divergence confirms weakening momentum at the key level. Together, these indicators provide a more robust setup for identifying potential market reversals with greater confidence.
🚨 Alerts
This script provides alert options for all signals.
Bearish Signal
A bearish signal is triggered when a Bearish SFP is formed.
Bullish Signal
A bullish signal is triggered when a Bullish SFP is formed.

IU EMA Channel StrategyIU EMA Channel Strategy
Overview:
The IU EMA Channel Strategy is a simple yet effective trend-following strategy that uses two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) based on the high and low prices. It provides clear entry and exit signals by identifying price crossovers relative to the EMAs while incorporating a built-in Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RTR) for effective risk management.
Inputs ( Settings ):
- RTR (Risk-to-Reward Ratio): Define the ratio for risk-to-reward (default = 2).
- EMA Length: Adjust the length of the EMA channels (default = 100).
How the Strategy Works
1. EMA Channels:
- High-based EMA: EMA calculated on the high price.
- Low-based EMA: EMA calculated on the low price.
The area between these two EMAs creates a "channel" that visually highlights potential support and resistance zones.
2. Entry Rules:
- Long Entry: When the price closes above the high-based EMA (crossover).
- Short Entry: When the price closes below the low-based EMA (crossunder).
These entries ensure trades are taken in the direction of momentum.
3. Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP):
- Stop Loss:
- For long positions, the SL is set at the previous bar's low.
- For short positions, the SL is set at the previous bar's high.
- Take Profit:
- TP is automatically calculated using the Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RTR) you define.
- Example: If RTR = 2, the TP will be 2x the risk distance.
4. Exit Rules:
- Positions are closed at either the stop loss or the take profit level.
- The strategy manages exits automatically to enforce disciplined risk management.
Visual Features
1. EMA Channels:
- The high and low EMAs are dynamically color-coded:
- Green: Price is above the EMA (bullish condition).
- Red: Price is below the EMA (bearish condition).
- The area between the EMAs is shaded for better visual clarity.
2. Stop Loss and Take Profit Zones:
- SL and TP levels are plotted for both long and short positions.
- Zones are filled with:
- Red: Stop Loss area.
- Green: Take Profit area.
Be sure to manage your risk and position size properly.

Double RSIDouble RSI (DRSI) Indicator
The Double RSI (DRSI) is a technical analysis tool designed to provide traders with enhanced buy and sell signals by identifying uptrend and downtrend thresholds. It refines traditional RSI-based signals by applying a "double calculation" to the Relative Strength Index (RSI), improving precision in detecting trend changes.
Key Concepts Behind the Indicator
1. Double RSI Calculation
The DRSI indicator takes the standard RSI (calculated using the closing price over a specified length) and applies a second RSI calculation to it. This creates a smoother, more refined RSI value, making it more effective at highlighting the general trend of the market.
RSI: Measures the strength of recent price movements, ranging from 0 to 100.
Double RSI (DRSI): Applies the RSI formula to the RSI values themselves, smoothing out fluctuations and generating clearer signals.
How Does the Indicator Work?
The DRSI identifies uptrends and downtrends using two user-defined thresholds:
Uptrend Threshold (Default = 59): A value above this threshold signals a potential shift into an uptrend.
Downtrend Threshold (Default = 52): A value below this threshold signals a potential shift into a downtrend.
Signal Generation
Buy Signal: A crossover occurs when the DRSI value crosses above the Downtrend Threshold, signaling the beginning of an upward movement.
Sell Signal: A crossunder occurs when the DRSI value crosses below the Uptrend Threshold, signaling the beginning of a downward movement.
Customizable Inputs
The indicator offers customizable settings for increased flexibility:
DRSI Length (Default = 13): Determines the lookback period for RSI calculations. A shorter length increases sensitivity, while a longer length smooths the signals.
Uptrend Threshold (Default = 59): Sets the level above which an uptrend is confirmed.
Downtrend Threshold (Default = 52): Sets the level below which a downtrend is confirmed.
Bar Color and Glow Effects: Traders can enable colored candles or glowing DRSI lines for better visual representation.
Why is This Indicator Useful for Traders?
1. Noise Reduction
By applying a second RSI calculation, the DRSI smooths out minor fluctuations and highlights the overall trend.
2. Clear Uptrend and Downtrend Signals
The indicator provides intuitive buy (green arrow) and sell (red arrow) markers, simplifying decision-making.
3. Customizable Thresholds
Traders can adjust the thresholds and length to better suit specific trading strategies or market conditions.
4. Bar Coloring
Bars are color-coded to indicate the trend:
Green (Above Uptrend Threshold): Indicates an uptrend.
Red (Below Downtrend Threshold): Indicates a downtrend.
How the Indicator Appears on the Chart
DRSI Line: A smooth line derived from the double RSI calculation.
Threshold Lines: Two horizontal lines (green for the Uptrend Threshold, red for the Downtrend Threshold) to visualize trend changes.
Colored Candles: Candlesticks dynamically change color based on the trend direction (green for uptrends, red for downtrends).
Buy/Sell Markers:
Buy Signal: A green upward triangle below the bar, marking the start of an uptrend.
Sell Signal: A red downward triangle above the bar, marking the start of a downtrend.
In Summary
The Double RSI (DRSI) indicator is a powerful tool for identifying uptrends and downtrends with:
Smoothed trend detection using double-calculated RSI values.
Clear, actionable buy and sell signals.
Customizable settings to match different trading styles.
By focusing on trend thresholds rather than overbought or oversold levels, the DRSI provides traders with precise, noise-free signals to optimize their trading decisions.
20/50 SMA Cross 200 SMAThis Pine Script code is designed to identify and visualize crossovers of two shorter-term Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), a 20-period SMA and a 50-period SMA, with a longer-term 200-period SMA on a price chart. It also includes alerts for these crossover events. Here's a breakdown:
**Purpose:**
The core idea behind this script is to detect potential trend changes. Crossovers of shorter-term moving averages over a longer-term moving average are often interpreted as bullish signals, while crossovers below are considered bearish.
**Key Components:**
1. **Moving Average Calculation:**
* `sma20 = ta.sma(close, 20)`: Calculates the 20-period SMA of the closing price.
* `sma50 = ta.sma(close, 50)`: Calculates the 50-period SMA of the closing price.
* `sma200 = ta.sma(close, 200)`: Calculates the 200-period SMA of the closing price.
2. **Crossover Detection:**
* `crossUp20 = ta.crossover(sma20, sma200)`: Returns `true` when the 20-period SMA crosses above the 200-period SMA.
* `crossDown20 = ta.crossunder(sma20, sma200)`: Returns `true` when the 20-period SMA crosses below the 200-period SMA.
* Similar logic applies for `crossUp50` and `crossDown50` with the 50-period SMA.
3. **Recent Crossover Tracking (Crucial Improvement):**
* `lookback = 7`: Defines a lookback period of 7 bars.
* `var bool hasCrossedUp20 = false`, etc.: Declares `var` (persistent) boolean variables to track if a crossover has occurred *within* the last 7 bars. This is the most important correction from previous versions.
* The logic using `ta.barssince()` is the key:
* If a crossover happens (`crossUp20` is true), the corresponding `hasCrossedUp20` is set to `true`.
* If no crossover happens on the current bar, it checks if a crossover happened within the last 7 bars using `ta.barssince(crossUp20) <= lookback`. If so, it keeps `hasCrossedUp20` as `true`. After 7 bars, it becomes `false`.
4. **Plotting Crossovers:**
* `plotshape(...)`: Plots circles on the chart to visually mark the crossovers.
* Green circles below the bars for bullish crossovers (20 and 50).
* Red circles above the bars for bearish crossovers (20 and 50).
* Different shades of green/red (green/lime, red/maroon) distinguish between 20 and 50 SMA crossovers.
5. **Plotting Moving Averages (Optional but Helpful):**
* `plot(sma20, color=color.blue, linewidth=1)`: Plots the 20-period SMA in blue.
* Similar logic for the 50-period SMA (orange) and 200-period SMA (gray).
6. **Alerts:**
* `alertcondition(...)`: Triggers alerts when crossovers occur. This is essential for real-time trading signals.
**How it Works (in Simple Terms):**
The script continuously calculates the 20, 50, and 200 SMAs. It then monitors for instances where the 20 or 50 SMA crosses the 200 SMA. When such a crossover happens, a colored circle is plotted on the chart, and an alert is triggered. The key improvement is that it remembers if a crossover occurred in the last 7 bars and continues to display the circle during that period.
**Use Case:**
Traders use this type of indicator to identify potential entry and exit points in the market. A bullish crossover (shorter SMA crossing above the longer SMA) might be a signal to buy, while a bearish crossover might be a signal to sell.
**Key Improvements over Previous Versions:**
* **Correct Lookback Implementation:** The use of `ta.barssince()` and `var` variables is the correct and efficient way to check for crossovers within a lookback period. This fixes the major flaw in earlier versions.
* **Clear Visualizations:** The use of `plotshape` with distinct colors makes it easy to distinguish between 20 and 50 SMA crossovers.
* **Alerts:** The inclusion of alerts makes the script much more practical for real-time trading.
This improved version provides a robust and useful tool for identifying and tracking SMA crossovers.
3_SMA_Strategy_V-Singhal by ParthibIndicator Name: 3_SMA_Strategy_V-Singhal by Parthib
Description:
The 3_SMA_Strategy_V-Singhal by Parthib is a dynamic trend-following strategy that combines three key simple moving averages (SMA) — SMA 20, SMA 50, and SMA 200 — to generate buy and sell signals. This strategy uses these SMAs to capture and follow market trends, helping traders identify optimal entry (buy) and exit (sell) points. Additionally, the strategy highlights the closing price (CP), which plays a critical role in confirming buy and sell signals.
The strategy also features a Second Buy Signal triggered if the price falls more than 10% after an initial buy signal, providing a re-entry opportunity with a different visual highlight for the second buy signal.
Features:
Three Simple Moving Averages (SMA):
SMA 20: Short-term moving average reflecting immediate market trends.
SMA 50: Medium-term moving average showing the prevailing trend.
SMA 200: Long-term moving average that indicates the overall market trend.
Buy Signal (B1):
Triggered when:
SMA 200 > SMA 50 > SMA 20, indicating a bullish market structure.
The closing price is positioned below all three SMAs, confirming a potential upward reversal.
A green label appears at the low of the bar with the text B1-Price, indicating the price at which the buy signal is generated.
Second Buy Signal (B2):
Triggered if the price falls more than 10% after the first buy signal, providing an opportunity to re-enter the market at a potentially better price.
A blue label appears at the low of the bar with the text B2-Price, showing the price at which the second buy opportunity arises.
Sell Signal (S):
Triggered when:
SMA 20 > SMA 50 > SMA 200, indicating a bearish trend.
The closing price (CP) is positioned above all three SMAs, confirming a potential downward movement.
A red label appears at the high of the bar with the text S-Price, showing the price at which the sell signal is triggered.
How It Works:
Buy Conditions:
SMA 200 > SMA 50 > SMA 20: Indicates a bullish market where the long-term trend (SMA 200) is above the medium-term (SMA 50), and the medium-term trend is above the short-term (SMA 20).
Closing price below all three SMAs: Confirms that the price is in a favorable position for a potential upward reversal.
Sell Conditions:
SMA 20 > SMA 50 > SMA 200: This setup indicates a bearish trend.
Closing price above all three SMAs: Confirms that the price is in a favorable position for a potential downward movement.
Second Buy Signal (B2): If the price falls more than 10% after the first buy signal, the strategy triggers a second buy opportunity (B2) at a potentially better price. This helps traders take advantage of pullbacks or corrections after an initial favorable entry.
Labeling System:
B1-Price: The first buy signal label, appearing when the market is bullish and the closing price is below all three SMAs.
B2-Price: The second buy signal label, triggered if the price falls more than 10% after the initial buy signal.
S-Price: The sell signal label, appearing when the market turns bearish and the closing price is above all three SMAs.
How to Use:
Add the Indicator: Add "3_SMA_Strategy_V-Singhal by Parthib" to your chart on TradingView.
Interpret Buy Signals (B1): Look for green labels with the text "B1-Price" when the closing price (CP) is below all three SMAs and the trend is bullish.
Interpret Second Buy Signals (B2): If the price falls more than 10% after the first buy, look for blue labels with "B2-Price" and a re-entry opportunity.
Interpret Sell Signals (S): Look for red labels with the text "S-Price" when the market turns bearish, and the closing price (CP) is above all three SMAs.
Conclusion:
The 3_SMA_Strategy_V-Singhal by Parthib is an efficient and simple trend-following tool for traders looking to make informed buy and sell decisions. By combining the power of three SMAs and the closing price (CP) confirmation, this strategy helps traders to buy when the market shows a strong bullish setup and sell when the trend turns bearish. Additionally, the second buy signal feature ensures that traders don’t miss out on re-entry opportunities after price corrections, giving them a chance to re-enter the market at a favorable price.
Buying and Selling Volume Pressure S/RThis custom indicator aims to visualize underlying market pressure by cumulatively analyzing where trade volume occurs relative to each candle's price range. By separating total volume into "buying" (when price closes near the high of the bar) and "selling" (when price closes near the low of the bar), the indicator identifies shifts in dominance between buyers and sellers over a defined lookback period.
When cumulative buying volume surpasses cumulative selling volume (a "bullish cross"), it suggests that buyers are gaining control. Conversely, when cumulative selling volume exceeds cumulative buying volume (a "bearish cross"), it indicates that sellers are taking the upper hand.
Based on these crossovers, the indicator derives dynamic Support and Resistance lines. After a bullish cross, it continuously tracks and updates the lowest low that occurs while the trend is bullish, forming a support zone. Similarly, after a bearish cross, it updates the highest high that appears during the bearish trend, forming a resistance zone.
A Mid Line is then calculated as the average of the current dynamic support and resistance levels, providing a central reference point. Around this Mid Line, the script constructs an upper and lower channel based on standard deviation, offering a sense of volatility or "divergence" from the mean level.
Finally, the indicator provides simple buy and sell signals: a buy signal is triggered when the price closes back above the Mid Line, suggesting a potential shift toward bullish conditions, while a sell signal appears when the price closes below the Mid Line, hinting at a possible bearish move.
In summary, this indicator blends volume-based market pressure analysis with adaptive support and resistance detection and overlays them onto the chart. It helps traders quickly gauge who controls the market (buyers or sellers), identify dynamic levels of support and resistance, and receive alerts on potential trend changes—simplifying decision-making in rapidly evolving market conditions.

Auto Swing TPAutomatic TP generator from recent swing highs and swing lows
Multiple long & short TPs from current price are displayed.
Results will differ by timeframe.
The main parameter is the "cell size" which is the least significant price move for the current asset. The default value of 0.4% is optimized for crypto. You may want to use less for less volatile asset classes.
How it works
We divide price into cells of a certain percent sizes, mainly because this makes the computation a lot easier.
We note in which bar every price cell was last visited. We take the distance to the current bar and then the logarithm of that to a certain base (the "time dimension"). Using a logarithm gives a nice balance of near-term and long-term targets. We call that logarithmic value the "level" of that price cell.
If a price cell has a significantly higher or lower level (at least by +2 or -2) than the cell above or below, this is considered a possible TP area.
Finally we check if the trade makes sense (meaning is of a certain size, at least 10 cells by default). If yes, we reduce the TP by a bit (by default 2 cells) and add it to the chart.
Weekly Open LineThis indicator displays the weekly open price on the chart. It automatically updates every Monday to reflect the opening price of the current week. A dashed line is drawn to indicate the weekly open, and a label stating "Monday" is shown on each Monday for easy identification.
Features:
Automatically calculates the weekly open on Mondays.
Displays a dashed line at the weekly open price.
Labels the weekly open with the text "Monday" for visibility.
Indikator ini menampilkan harga open mingguan di grafik. Indikator ini secara otomatis diperbarui setiap hari Senin untuk mencerminkan harga pembukaan minggu berjalan. Garis putus-putus digambar untuk menunjukkan open mingguan, dan sebuah label yang menyatakan "Moday" ditampilkan setiap hari Senin untuk memudahkan identifikasi.

3 EMA + RSI with Trail Stop [Free990] (LOW TF)This trading strategy combines three Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to identify trend direction, uses RSI to signal exit conditions, and applies both a fixed percentage stop-loss and a trailing stop for risk management. It aims to capture momentum when the faster EMAs cross the slower EMA, then uses RSI thresholds, time-based exits, and stops to close trades.
Short Explanation of the Logic
Trend Detection: When the 10 EMA crosses above the 20 EMA and both are above the 100 EMA (and the current price bar closes higher), it triggers a long entry signal. The reverse happens for a short (the 10 EMA crosses below the 20 EMA and both are below the 100 EMA).
RSI Exit: RSI crossing above a set threshold closes long trades; crossing below another threshold closes short trades.
Time-Based Exit: If a trade is in profit after a set number of bars, the strategy closes it.
Stop-Loss & Trailing Stop: A fixed stop-loss based on a percentage from the entry price guards against large drawdowns. A trailing stop dynamically tightens as the trade moves in favor, locking in potential gains.
Detailed Explanation of the Strategy Logic
Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Setup
Short EMA (out_a, length=10)
Medium EMA (out_b, length=20)
Long EMA (out_c, length=100)
The code calculates three separate EMAs to gauge short-term, medium-term, and longer-term trend behavior. By comparing their relative positions, the strategy infers whether the market is bullish (EMAs stacked positively) or bearish (EMAs stacked negatively).
Entry Conditions
Long Entry (entryLong): Occurs when:
The short EMA (10) crosses above the medium EMA (20).
Both EMAs (short and medium) are above the long EMA (100).
The current bar closes higher than it opened (close > open).
This suggests that momentum is shifting to the upside (short-term EMAs crossing up and price action turning bullish). If there’s an existing short position, it’s closed first before opening a new long.
Short Entry (entryShort): Occurs when:
The short EMA (10) crosses below the medium EMA (20).
Both EMAs (short and medium) are below the long EMA (100).
The current bar closes lower than it opened (close < open).
This indicates a potential shift to the downside. If there’s an existing long position, that gets closed first before opening a new short.
Exit Signals
RSI-Based Exits:
For long trades: When RSI exceeds a specified threshold (e.g., 70 by default), it triggers a long exit. RSI > short_rsi generally means overbought conditions, so the strategy exits to lock in profits or avoid a pullback.
For short trades: When RSI dips below a specified threshold (e.g., 30 by default), it triggers a short exit. RSI < long_rsi indicates oversold conditions, so the strategy closes the short to avoid a bounce.
Time-Based Exit:
If the trade has been open for xBars bars (configurable, e.g., 24 bars) and the trade is in profit (current price above entry for a long, or current price below entry for a short), the strategy closes the position. This helps lock in gains if the move takes too long or momentum stalls.
Stop-Loss Management
Fixed Stop-Loss (% Based): Each trade has a fixed stop-loss calculated as a percentage from the average entry price.
For long positions, the stop-loss is set below the entry price by a user-defined percentage (fixStopLossPerc).
For short positions, the stop-loss is set above the entry price by the same percentage.
This mechanism prevents catastrophic losses if the market moves strongly against the position.
Trailing Stop:
The strategy also sets a trail stop using trail_points (the distance in price points) and trail_offset (how quickly the stop “catches up” to price).
As the market moves in favor of the trade, the trailing stop gradually tightens, allowing profits to run while still capping potential drawdowns if the price reverses.
Order Execution Flow
When the conditions for a new position (long or short) are triggered, the strategy first checks if there’s an opposite position open. If there is, it closes that position before opening the new one (prevents going “both long and short” simultaneously).
RSI-based and time-based exits are checked on each bar. If triggered, the position is closed.
If the position remains open, the fixed stop-loss and trailing stop remain in effect until the position is exited.
Why This Combination Works
Multiple EMA Cross: Combining 10, 20, and 100 EMAs balances short-term momentum detection with a longer-term trend filter. This reduces false signals that can occur if you only look at a single crossover without considering the broader trend.
RSI Exits: RSI provides a momentum oscillator view—helpful for detecting overbought/oversold conditions, acting as an extra confirmation to exit.
Time-Based Exit: Prevents “lingering trades.” If the position is in profit but failing to advance further, it takes profit rather than risking a trend reversal.
Fixed & Trailing Stop-Loss: The fixed stop-loss is your safety net to cap worst-case losses. The trailing stop allows the strategy to lock in gains by following the trade as it moves favorably, thus maximizing profit potential while keeping risk in check.
Overall, this approach tries to capture momentum from EMA crossovers, protect profits with trailing stops, and limit risk through both a fixed percentage stop-loss and exit signals from RSI/time-based logic.
Physical Levels (XAUUSD, 5$ Pricesteps)Functionality:
This indicator draws horizontal lines in the XAUUSD market at a fixed spacing of USD 5. The lines are both above and below the current market price. The number of lines is limited to optimize performance.
Use:
The indicator is particularly useful for traders who want to analyze psychological price levels, support and resistance areas, or significant price zones in the gold market. It helps to better visualize price movements and their proximity to round numbers.
How it works:
The indicator calculates a starting price based on the current price of XAUUSD, rounded to the nearest multiple of USD 5.
Starting from this starting price, evenly distributed lines are drawn up and down.
The lines are black throughout and are updated dynamically according to the current chart.
VWAP SlopeThis script calculates and displays the slope of the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) . It compares the current VWAP with its value from a user-defined lookback period to determine the slope. The slope is color-coded: green for an upward trend (positive slope) and red for a downward trend (negative slope) .
Key Points:
VWAP Calculation: The script calculates the VWAP based on a user-defined timeframe (default: daily), which represents the average price weighted by volume.
Slope Determination: The slope is calculated by comparing the current VWAP to its value from a previous period, providing insight into market trends.
Color-Coding: The slope line is color-coded to visually indicate the market direction: green for uptrend and red for downtrend.
This script helps traders identify the direction of the market based on VWAP , offering a clear view of trends and potential turning points.
