Nifty scalping 3 minutesOverview:
The "Nifty Scalping 3 Minutes" strategy is a uniquely tailored trading system for Nifty Futures traders, with a clear focus on capital preservation, dynamic risk management, and high-probability trade entries. This strategy uses unique combination of standard technical indicators like Jurik Moving Average (JMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and Bollinger Bands, but it truly stands out through its Price-Volume Spike Detection system—a unique mechanism designed to trigger trades only during periods of high momentum and market participation. The strategy also incorporates robust risk management, ensuring that traders minimize losses while maximizing profits. in complete back test range max drawdown is less than 1%
Scalping Approach and Requirements:
The strategy focuses on quick in and out trades, aiming to capture small, quick profits during periods of heightened market activity. For optimal performance, traders should have ₹2,00,000 or more in capital available per trade. The dynamic lot calculation and risk controls require this level of capital to function effectively.
Small, frequent trades are the focus, and the strategy is ideal for traders comfortable with high-frequency executions. Traders with insufficient capital or those not comfortable with frequent trades may find this strategy unsuitable.
Default Properties for Publication:
Initial Capital: ₹2,000,000
Lot Size: 25 contracts (adjusted dynamically based on available margin)
Stop-Loss: Risk per trade capped at 1% of equity.
Slippage and Commission: Realistic values are factored into the backtesting.
Key Feature: Price-Volume Spike Detection
1. Condition: Trades are executed only when there is a significant price spike confirmed by a volume spike. The candle width is calculated by multiplying the price change (difference between the candle's open and close) by the volume, and this result is compared to a 126-period average of both price and volume.
A trade is triggered when the current price-volume spike exceeds this average by a preset volume multiplier (default set at 3). This ensures that both the price change and volume are unusually strong compared to normal market behavior.
2. Reasoning: Many traders fail to incorporate the relationship between price movement and volume effectively. By using this Price-Volume Spike Detection mechanism, the strategy ensures that it only enters trades during periods of strong market momentum when both price and volume confirm a real market move, not just noise or small fluctuations.
The 126-period moving average of volume is chosen specifically because it represents a complete trading session on the 3-minute chart. This ensures that the volume spike is compared against a realistic baseline of daily activity, making the detection more robust and reliable.
The volume multiplier allows flexibility in determining the threshold for a significant spike, enabling users to fine-tune the strategy according to their risk tolerance and market conditions.
Trade Placement Logic:
1. Trend Confirmation with JMA and EMA:
Condition: The strategy will only consider entering a trade when JMA crosses above EMA for a long trade or JMA crosses below EMA for a short trade.
Reasoning: The JMA is used for its low lag and responsiveness, allowing it to capture early trends, while the EMA adds a level of confirmation by weighing recent price action more heavily. This dual confirmation ensures that trades are entered only when a solid trend is in place.
2. Bollinger Bands for Volatility Breakouts:
Condition: In addition to the JMA-EMA crossover, the price must break outside the Bollinger Bands—above the upper band for long trades, or below the lower band for short trades.
Reasoning: Bollinger Bands are a volatility indicator. By requiring a price breakout beyond the bands, the strategy ensures that trades are placed during periods of high volatility, avoiding low-momentum, sideways markets.
3. Volume and Price Confirmation (Price-Volume Spike Detection):
Condition: A trade is only triggered if the price-volume spike condition is met. This ensures that the market move is backed by strong volume and that the price change is significant relative to the recent average activity.
Reasoning: This condition filters out low-volume environments where price movements are more likely to reverse or stall. By waiting for a spike in both price and volume, the strategy ensures that it enters trades during high-momentum periods, where follow-through is more likely.
Exit Logic and Risk Management:
1. Stop-Loss (SL) Placement:
Condition: Upon entering a trade, an initial stop-loss is placed below the candle low for long trades or above the candle high for short trades. This is adjusted if the risk exceeds 1% of total capital.
Reasoning: The stop-loss is placed at a logical level that accounts for recent price action, ensuring that the trade is given room to develop while protecting capital from unexpected market reversals.
2. Profit Target and Partial Profit Booking:
Condition: The first profit target is set at 2.1x the initial risk for long trades, and 2.5x the initial risk for short trades.
Reasoning: The 2.1x risk-reward ratio for long trades provides a solid return while maintaining a conservative risk profile. For short trades, the strategy uses a higher 2.5x risk-reward ratio because market falls tend to be sharper and quicker than rises, allowing for larger profit targets to be reached more reliably.
Partial Profit Booking: Once the first target is hit, 60% of the position is closed to lock in profits. The remaining 40% is left to run with a trailing stop.
3. ATR-Based Trailing Stop:
Condition: Once the first target is hit, the ATR (Average True Range) trailing stop is applied to the remaining position. This dynamically adjusts the stop-loss as the trade moves in a favorable direction.
Reasoning: The trailing stop allows the trade to capture further gains if the trend continues, while protecting profits if the momentum weakens. The ATR ensures that the stop adjusts according to the market's current volatility, providing flexibility and protection.
4. Time-Based Exit:
Condition: If a trade is still open by 3:20 PM, it is automatically closed to avoid end-of-day volatility.
Reasoning: The time-based exit ensures that trades are not held into the often-volatile closing minutes of the market, reducing the risk of unexpected price swings.
Capital and Risk Management:
1. Lot Size Calculation:
Condition: The strategy calculates the number of lots dynamically based on the available margin. It uses only 10% of total equity for each trade, and ensures that the maximum risk per trade does not exceed 1% of total capital.
Reasoning: This ensures that traders are not over-leveraged and that the risk is controlled for each trade. Capital protection is at the core of the strategy, ensuring that even during adverse market conditions, the trader’s capital is preserved.
2. Stop-Loss Protection:
Condition: The stop-loss is designed to ensure that no more than 1% of capital is at risk in any trade.
Reasoning: By limiting risk exposure, the strategy focuses on long-term capital preservation while still allowing for profitable trades in favorable market conditions.
STBT/BTST Facilitation:
1. Feature: The strategy allows traders the option to hold positions overnight, facilitating STBT (Sell Today Buy Tomorrow) and BTST (Buy Today Sell Tomorrow) trades.
Reasoning: Backtests show that holding positions overnight when all trade conditions are still valid can lead to beneficial outcomes. This feature allows traders to take advantage of overnight market movements, providing flexibility beyond intraday trades.
Why This Strategy Stands Out:
Price-Volume Spike Detection: Unlike traditional strategies, this one uniquely focuses on Price-Volume Spike Detection to filter out low-probability trades. By ensuring that both price and volume spikes are present, the strategy guarantees that trades are placed only when there is significant market momentum.
Risk Management with Capital Protection: The strategy strictly limits the risk per trade to 1% of capital, ensuring long-term capital preservation. This is especially important for traders who wish to avoid large drawdowns and prefer a sustainable approach to trading.
2.5x Risk-Reward for Short Trades: Recognizing the sharpness of market declines, the strategy employs a 2.5x risk-reward ratio for short trades, maximizing profits during bearish trends.
Dynamic Exit Strategy: With partial profit booking and ATR-based trailing stops, the strategy is designed to capture gains efficiently while protecting capital through dynamic exit conditions.
Summary of Execution:
Entry: Triggered when JMA crosses EMA, combined with Bollinger Band breakouts and Price-Volume Spike Detection.
Capital Management: Trades are executed with 10% of available capital, and the risk per trade is capped at 1%.
Exit: Trades exit when stop-loss, ATR trailing stop, or time-based exit conditions are met.
Profit Booking: 60% of the position is closed at the first target, with the remainder trailed using an ATR-based stop.

Grid Bot Parabolic [xxattaxx]🟩 The Grid Bot Parabolic, a continuation of the Grid Bot Simulator Series , enhances traditional gridbot theory by employing a dynamic parabolic curve to visualize potential support and resistance levels. This adaptability is particularly useful in volatile or trending markets, enabling traders to explore grid-based strategies and gain deeper market insights. The grids are divided into customizable trade zones that trigger signals as prices move into new zones, empowering traders to gain deeper insights into market dynamics and potential turning points.
While traditional grid bots excel in ranging markets, the Grid Bot Parabolic’s introduction of acceleration and curvature adds new dimensions, enabling its use in trending markets as well. It can function as a traditional grid bot with horizontal lines, a tilted grid bot with linear slopes, or a fully parabolic grid with curves. This dynamic nature allows the indicator to adapt to various market conditions, providing traders with a versatile tool for visualizing dynamic support and resistance levels.
🔑 KEY FEATURES 🔑
Adaptable Grid Structures (Horizontal, Linear, Curved)
Buy and Sell Signals with Multiple Trigger/Confirmation Conditions

📐 GRID STRUCTURES 📐
Beyond its core parabolic functionality, the Parabolic Grid Bot offers a range of grid configurations to suit different market conditions and trading preferences. By adjusting the "Acceleration" and "Curvature" parameters, you can transform the grid's structure:
Parabolic Grids
Setting both acceleration and curvature to non-zero values results in a parabolic grid.This configuration can be particularly useful for visualizing potential turning points and trend reversals. Example: Accel = 10, Curve = -10)
Linear Grids
With a non-zero acceleration and zero curvature, the grid tilts to represent a linear trend, aiding in identifying potential support and resistance levels during trending phases. Example: Accel =1.75, Curve = 0
Horizontal Grids
When both acceleration and curvature are set to zero, the indicator reverts to a traditional grid bot with horizontal lines, suitable for ranging markets. Example: Accel=0, Curve=0

🤖 ALGORITHM AND CALCULATION 🤖
The Parabolic Function
At the core of the Parabolic Grid Bot lies the parabolic function, which calculates a dynamic curve that adapts to price action over time. This curve serves as the foundation for visualizing potential support and resistance levels.
The shape and behavior of the parabola are influenced by three key user-defined parameters:
Acceleration: This parameter controls the rate of change of the curve's slope, influencing its tilt or steepness. A higher acceleration value results in a more pronounced tilt, while a lower value leads to a gentler slope. This applies to both curved and linear grid configurations.
Curvature: This parameter introduces and controls the curvature or bend of the grid. A higher curvature value results in a more pronounced parabolic shape, while a lower value leads to a flatter curve or even a straight line (when set to zero).
Sensitivity: This setting fine-tunes the overall responsiveness of the grid, influencing how strongly the Acceleration and Curvature parameters affect its shape. Increasing sensitivity amplifies the impact of these parameters, making the grid more adaptable to price changes but potentially leading to more frequent adjustments. Decreasing sensitivity reduces their impact, resulting in a more stable grid structure with fewer adjustments. It may be necessary to adjust Sensitivity when switching between different assets or timeframes to ensure optimal scaling and responsiveness.
The parabolic function combines these parameters to generate a curve that visually represents the potential path of price movement. By understanding how these inputs influence the parabola's shape and behavior, traders can gain valuable insights into potential support and resistance areas, aiding in their decision-making process.
Sentiment
The Parabolic Grid Bot incorporates sentiment to enhance signal generation. The "Sentiment" input allows you to either:
Manually specify the market sentiment: Choose between 'Long' (bullish), 'Short' (bearish), or 'Neutral'.
Let the script determine sentiment based on the slope of the parabolic curve: If 'Slope' is selected, the sentiment will be considered 'Long' when the curve is sloping upwards, 'Short' when it's sloping downwards, and 'Neutral' when it's flat.
Buy and Sell Signals
The Parabolic Grid Bot generates buy and sell signals based on the interaction between the price and the grid levels.
Trigger: The "Trigger" input determines which part of the candlestick is used to trigger a signal (wick, close, midpoint, or SWMA).
Confirmation: The "Confirm" input specifies how a signal is confirmed ('Reverse' or 'Touch').
Zones: The number of "Buy Zones" and "Sell Zones" determines the areas on the grid where buy and sell signals can be generated.
When the trigger condition is met within a buy zone and the confirmation criteria are satisfied, a buy signal is generated. Similarly, a sell signal is generated when the trigger and confirmation occur within a sell zone.
Secondary Signals
Secondary signals are generated when a regular buy or sell signal contradicts the prevailing sentiment. For example:
A buy signal in a bearish market (Sentiment = 'Short') would be considered a "secondary buy" signal.
A sell signal in a bullish market (Sentiment = 'Long') would be considered a "secondary sell" signal.
These secondary signals are visually represented on the chart using hollow triangles, differentiating them from regular signals (filled triangles).
While they can be interpreted as potential contrarian trade opportunities, secondary signals can also serve other purposes within a grid trading strategy:
Exit Signals: A secondary signal can suggest a potential shift in market sentiment or a weakening trend. This could be a cue to consider exiting an existing position, even if it's currently profitable, to lock in gains before a potential reversal
Risk Management: In a strong trend, secondary signals might offer opportunities for cautious counter-trend trades with controlled risk. These trades could utilize smaller position sizes or tighter stop-losses to manage potential downside if the main trend continues
Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA): During a prolonged trend, the parabolic curve might generate multiple secondary signals in the opposite direction. These signals could be used to implement a DCA strategy, gradually accumulating a position at potentially favorable prices as the market retraces or consolidates within the larger trend
Secondary signals should be interpreted with caution and considered in conjunction with other technical indicators and market context. They provide additional insights into potential market reversals or consolidation phases within a broader trend, aiding in adapting your grid trading strategy to the evolving market dynamics.
Examples
Trigger=Wick, Confirm=Touch. Signals are generated when the wick touches the next gridline.
Trigger=Close, Confirm=Touch. Signals require the close to touch the next gridline.
Trigger=SWMA, Confirm=Reverse. Signals are triggered when the Symmetrically Weighted Moving Average reverse crosses the next gridline.
🧠THEORY AND RATIONALE 🧠
The innovative approach of the Parabolic Grid Bot can be better understood by first examining the limitations of traditional grid trading strategies and exploring how this indicator addresses them by incorporating principles of market cycles and dynamic price behavior
Traditional Grid Bots: One-Dimensional and Static
Traditional grid bots operate on a simple premise: they divide the price chart into a series of equally spaced horizontal lines, creating a grid of trading zones. These bots excel in ranging markets where prices oscillate within a defined range. Buy and sell orders are placed at these grid levels, aiming to profit from mean reversion as prices bounce between the support and resistance zones.
However, traditional grid bots face challenges in trending markets. As the market moves in one direction, the bot continues to place orders in that direction, leading to a stacking of positions. If the market eventually reverses, these stacked trades can be profitable, amplifying gains. But the risk lies in the potential for the market to continue trending, leaving the trader with a series of losing trades on the wrong side of the market
The Parabolic Grid Bot: Adding Dimensions
The Parabolic Grid Bot addresses the limitations of traditional grid bots by introducing two additional dimensions:
Acceleration (Second Dimension): This parameter introduces a second dimension to the grid, allowing it to tilt upwards or downwards to align with the prevailing market trend. A positive acceleration creates an upward-sloping grid, suitable for uptrends, while a negative acceleration results in a downward-sloping grid, ideal for downtrends. The magnitude of acceleration controls the steepness of the tilt, enabling you to fine-tune the grid's responsiveness to the trend's strength
Curvature (Third Dimension): This parameter adds a third dimension to the grid by introducing a parabolic curve. The curve's shape, ranging from gentle bends to sharp turns, is controlled by the curvature value. This flexibility allows the grid to closely mirror the market's evolving structure, potentially identifying turning points and trend reversals.
Mean Reversion in Trending Markets
Even in trending markets, the Parabolic Grid Bot can help identify opportunities for mean reversion strategies. While the grid may be tilted to reflect the trend, the buy and sell zones can capture short-term price oscillations or consolidations within the broader trend. This allows traders to potentially pinpoint entry and exit points based on temporary pullbacks or reversals.
Visualize and Adapt
The Parabolic Grid Bot acts as a visual aid, enhancing your understanding of market dynamics. It allows you to "see the curve" by adapting the grid to the market's patterns. If the market shows a parabolic shape, like an upward curve followed by a peak and a downward turn (similar to a head and shoulders pattern), adjust the Accel and Curve to match. This highlights potential areas of interest for further analysis.
Beyond Straight Lines: Visualizing Market Cycle
Traditional technical analysis often employs straight lines, such as trend lines and support/resistance levels, to interpret market movements. However, many analysts, including Brian Millard, contend that these lines can be misleading. They propose that what might appear as a straight line could represent just a small part of a larger curve or cycle that's not fully visible on the chart.
Markets are inherently cyclical, marked by phases of expansion, contraction, and reversal. The Parabolic Grid Bot acknowledges this cyclical behavior by offering a dynamic, curved grid that adapts to these shifts. This approach helps traders move beyond the limitations of straight lines and visualize potential support and resistance levels in a way that better reflects the market's true nature
By capturing these cyclical patterns, whether subtle or pronounced, the Parabolic Grid Bot offers a nuanced understanding of market dynamics, potentially leading to more accurate interpretations of price action and informed trading decisions.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER⚠️
This indicator utilizes a parabolic curve fitting approach to visualize potential support and resistance levels. The mathematical formulas employed have been designed with adaptability and scalability in mind, aiming to accommodate various assets and price ranges. While the resulting curves may visually resemble parabolas, it's important to note that they might not strictly adhere to the precise mathematical definition of a parabola.
The indicator's calculations have been tested and generally produce reliable results. However, no guarantees are made regarding their absolute mathematical accuracy. Traders are encouraged to use this tool as part of their broader analysis and decision-making process, combining it with other technical indicators and market context.
Please remember that trading involves inherent risks, and past performance is not indicative of future results. It is always advisable to conduct your own research and exercise prudent risk management before making any trading decisions.

COMBINED EMA & SMA + DOUBLE DEMA, $TOTAL 1W / 5D -- Ruslan CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL
This Pine Script indicator, **"EMAS"**, provides an enhanced visualization of multiple types of moving averages, including both **Exponential Moving Averages (EMA)**, **Simple Moving Averages (SMA)**, and **Double Exponential Moving Averages (DEMA)**. It allows the user to observe the relationship between these different types of moving averages and apply regime-based coloring to price bars based on the comparison between the EMAs and DEMAs.
#### Key Features:
1. **EMA & SMA:**
- **EMA (Exponential Moving Average):** Calculated using a customizable lookback period (default 17), the EMA places greater weight on more recent prices, making it react faster to price changes.
- **SMA (Simple Moving Average):** Uses an equal-weighted average over a customizable lookback period (default 14), providing a slower-moving average compared to the EMA.
2. **DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average):**
- Two separate DEMA lines are plotted using different lookback periods (default 2 and 14). The DEMA is a smoother and faster-responding version of the EMA, intended to reduce lag while retaining trend-following characteristics.
3. **Combined Signals:**
- The script calculates ratios between EMA/SMA (`comb`) and DEMA1/DEMA2 (`combd`) to generate a **regime-based bar coloring system**:
- If `combd > comb`: The bars are colored **green**, indicating that DEMAs are outperforming the EMAs, potentially signaling a stronger trend or momentum.
- If `comb > combd`: The bars are colored **red**, suggesting that the EMAs are dominant, which may indicate a different phase of the market.
4. **Signal SMA:**
- A 21-period **SMA** is plotted as a general trend-following signal. It provides a broader perspective on the current price trend, helping to smooth out short-term fluctuations.
5. **Customizable Options:**
- **"Show MAs?"**: The user has the option to toggle the display of the EMA, SMA, and DEMA lines on or off.
- **Custom Period Inputs**: Each type of moving average can have its period length customized via the input settings for better adaptability to different market conditions.
#### How to Use the Indicator:
- **Trend Following**:
The **EMA, SMA, and DEMA** values can help you determine the direction of the trend. When the EMA is above the SMA, it could indicate a stronger, more recent upward momentum. Similarly, DEMA comparisons provide smoother and faster trend signals.
- **Bar Coloring Regime**:
The **bar color** gives a quick visual cue of the regime:
- **Green bars** suggest that DEMAs are indicating stronger bullish or bearish signals compared to the EMAs.
- **Red bars** imply the opposite, where EMAs may be showing stronger signals, but possibly with more noise or lag.
- **Signal SMA**:
The **21-period SMA** line can be used as a simple trend indicator. When the price is above this line, it could signify an uptrend, while price movement below the line might indicate a downtrend.
#### Custom Inputs:
- **EMA Length**: Default is 17, but can be adjusted to fit your trading style.
- **SMA Length**: Default is 14.
- **DEMA Lengths**: Two customizable inputs for DEMA (default 2 and 14).
- **Source Selection**: You can choose which price source (close, open, high, low, etc.) to use for each calculation (default is the closing price).
#### Conclusion:
This indicator is useful for traders who wish to blend **trend-following strategies** (using EMA, SMA, and DEMA) with **visual regime indicators** (bar coloring). It is highly customizable, allowing traders to adjust settings based on their market approach. The combination of EMAs and DEMAs provides a nuanced view of price dynamics, potentially leading to better-informed trading decisions.

Prometheus StochasticThe Stochastic indicator is a popular indicator developed in the 1950s. It is designed to identify overbought and oversold scenarios on different assets. A value above 80 is considered overbought and a value below 20 is considered oversold.
The formula is as follows:
%k = ((Close - Low_i) / (High_i / Low_i)) * 100
Low_i and High_i represent the lowest low and highest high of the selected period.
The Prometheus version takes a slightly different approach:
%k = ((High - Lowest_Close_i) / (High_i / Low_i)) * 100
Using the Current High minus the Lowest Close provides us with a more robust range that can be slightly more sensitive to moves and provide a different perspective.
Code:
stoch_func(src_close, src_high, src_low, length) =>
100 * (src_high - ta.lowest(src_close, length)) / (ta.highest(src_high, length) - ta.lowest(src_low, length))
This is the function that returns our Stochastic indicator.
What period do we use for the calculation? Let Prometheus handle that, we utilize a Sum of Squared Error calculation to find what lookback values can be most useful for a trader. How we do it is we calculate a Simple Moving Average or SMA and the indicator using a lot of different bars back values. Then if there is an event, characterized by the indicator crossing above 80 or below 20, we subtract the close by the SMA and square it. If there is no event we return a big value, we want the error to be as small as possible. Because we loop over every value for bars back, we get the value with the smallest error. We also do this for the smoothing values.
// Function to calculate SSE for a given combination of N, K, and D
sse_calc(_N, _K, _D) =>
SMA = ta.sma(close, _N)
sf = stoch_func(close, high, low, _N)
k = ta.sma(sf, _K)
d = ta.sma(k, _D)
var float error = na
if ta.crossover(d, 80) or ta.crossunder(d, 20)
error := math.pow(close - SMA, 2)
else
error := 999999999999999999999999999999999999999
error
var int best_N = na
var int best_K = na
var int best_D = na
var float min_SSE = na
// Loop through all combinations of N, K, and D
for N in N_range
for K in K_range
for D in D_range
sse = sse_calc(N, K, D)
if (na(min_SSE) or sse < min_SSE)
min_SSE := sse
best_N := N
best_K := K
best_D := D
int N_opt = na
int K_opt = na
int D_opt = na
if c_lkb_bool == false
N_opt := best_N
K_opt := best_K
D_opt := best_D
This is the section where the best lookback values are calculated.
We provide the option to use this self optimizer or to use your own lookback values.
Here is an example on the daily AMEX:SPY chart. The top Stochastic is the value with the SSE calculation, the bottom is with a fixed 14, 1, 3 input values. We see in the candles with boxes where some potential differences and trades may be.
This is another comparison of the SSE functionality and the fixed lookbacks on the NYSE:PLTR 1 day chart.
Differences may be more apparent on lower time frame charts.
We encourage traders to not follow indicators blindly, none are 100% accurate. SSE does not guarantee that the values generated will be the best for a given moment in time. Please comment on any desired updates, all criticism is welcome!
High-Low Cloud Trend [ChartPrime]The High-Low Cloud Trend - ChartPrime indicator, combines the concepts of trend following and mean reversion into a dynamic cloud representation. This indicator constructs high and low bands based on lookback periods, which adjust dynamically to reflect market conditions. By highlighting the upper and lower extremes, it provides a visual gauge for potential reversals and continuation points.

Uptrick: Logarithmic Crypto Bands
Description :
Introduction
The `Uptrick: Logarithmic Crypto Bands` indicator introduces an innovative approach to technical analysis tailored specifically for the cryptocurrency markets. By leveraging logarithmic transformations combined with dynamic exponential bands, this indicator offers a sophisticated method for identifying critical support and resistance levels, assessing market trends, and evaluating volatility. Its unique approach stands out from traditional indicators by addressing the specific challenges of high volatility and erratic price movements inherent in cryptocurrency trading.
Originality and Usefulness
** 1. Unique Logarithmic Transformation: **
- Innovation : Unlike traditional indicators that often use raw price data, the Uptrick: Logarithmic Crypto Bands applies a logarithmic transformation to the closing prices: logPrice = math.log(close). This approach is original because it reduces the impact of extreme price fluctuations, providing a smoother and more stable price series. This transformation addresses a common issue in cryptocurrency markets where large price swings can obscure true market trends.
- Advantage : The logarithmic transformation compresses the price range, which allows traders to better identify long-term trends and reduce the noise caused by outlier price movements. This results in a more reliable basis for analysis and enhances the ability to detect meaningful market patterns.
**2. Dynamic Exponential Bands :**
- Innovation : The indicator employs exponential calculations to derive dynamic support and resistance levels based on a central base line : baseLine * math.pow(multiplier, n). Unlike static bands that remain fixed regardless of market conditions, these bands adjust dynamically according to market volatility.
- Advantage : The dynamic nature of the bands provides a more responsive and adaptive tool for traders. As market volatility changes, the bands widen or narrow accordingly, offering a more accurate reflection of potential support and resistance levels. This adaptability improves the tool's effectiveness in varying market conditions compared to static or traditional bands.
Detailed Description and Substantiation
**1. Logarithmic Price Calculation :**
- Code : ` logPrice = math.log(close)
- Description : This calculation converts the closing price into its logarithmic value. By compressing the price range, it minimizes the distortion caused by extreme price movements, which can be particularly pronounced in the volatile cryptocurrency markets.
- Purpose : To provide a stabilized price series that facilitates more accurate trend analysis and reduces the influence of erratic price fluctuations.
**2. Moving Averages of Logarithmic Prices :**
- ** Long-Term Moving Average :**
- Code : maLongLogPrice = ta.sma(logPrice, longLength)
longLength = 2000
- ** Description : A simple moving average of the logarithmic price over a long period. This average helps filter out short-term noise and provides insight into the long-term market trend.
- Purpose : To offer a perspective on the overall market direction, making it easier to identify enduring trends and distinguish them from short-term price movements.
- Short-Term Moving Average :
- Code : maShortLogPrice = ta.sma(logPrice, shortLength) shortLength = 900
- Description : A simple moving average of the logarithmic price over a shorter period. This component captures more immediate price trends and potential reversal points.
- Purpose : To detect short-term trends and changes in market direction, allowing traders to make timely trading decisions based on recent price action.
**3. Base Line Calculation :**
- Code : baseLine = math.exp(maShortLogPrice)
- Description : Converts the short-term moving average of the logarithmic price back to the original price scale. This base line serves as the central reference point for calculating the surrounding bands.
- Purpose : To establish a benchmark level from which the exponential bands are calculated, providing a central reference for assessing potential support and resistance levels.
**4. Band Calculation and Plotting :**
- ** Code :**
- Band 1: plot(baseLine * math.pow(multiplier, 1), color=color.new(color.yellow, 20), linewidth=1, title="Band 1")
- Band 2: plot(baseLine * math.pow(multiplier, 2), color=color.new(color.yellow, 20), linewidth=1, title="Band 2")
- Band 3: plot(baseLine * math.pow(multiplier, 3), color=color.new(color.yellow, 20), linewidth=1, title="Band 3")
- Band 4: plot(baseLine * math.pow(multiplier, 4), color=color.new(color.yellow, 20), linewidth=1, title="Band 4")
- Band 5: plot(baseLine * math.pow(multiplier, 5), color=color.new(color.yellow, 10), linewidth=1, title="Band 5")
- Band 6: plot(baseLine * math.pow(multiplier, 6), color=color.new(color.yellow, 0), linewidth=1, title="Band 6")
- * Multiplier : Set at 1.3, adjusts the spacing between bands to accommodate varying levels of market volatility.
- Description : Bands are plotted at exponential intervals from the base line. Each band represents a potential support or resistance level, with the spacing between them increasing exponentially. The color opacity of each band indicates its level of significance, with closer bands being more relevant for immediate trading decisions.
** How to Use the Indicator :**
**1. Identifying Support and Resistance Levels :**
- Support Levels : The lower bands, closer to the base line, can act as potential support levels. When the price approaches these bands from above, they may indicate areas where the price could stabilize or reverse direction.
- Resistance Levels : The upper bands, further from the base line, serve as resistance levels. When the price nears these bands from below, they can act as barriers to price movement, potentially leading to reversals or stalls.
**2. Confirming Trends :**
- Uptrend Confirmation : When the price consistently remains above the base line and moves towards higher bands, it signals a strong bullish trend. This confirmation helps traders capitalize on upward price movements.
- Downtrend Confirmation : When the price stays below the base line and approaches lower bands, it indicates a bearish trend. This confirmation assists traders in acting on downward price movements.
3. Analyzing Volatility :
- Wide Bands : Wider spacing between bands reflects higher market volatility. This indicates a more turbulent trading environment, where price movements are less predictable. Traders may need to adjust their strategies to handle increased volatility.
- Narrow Bands : Narrower bands suggest lower volatility and a more stable market environment. This can result in more predictable price movements and clearer trading signals.
**4. Entry and Exit Points :**
- Entry Points : Consider buying when the price bounces off the base line or a band, which could signal support in an uptrend.
- Exit Points : Evaluate selling or taking profits when the price nears upper bands or shows signs of reversal at these levels. This approach helps in locking in gains or minimizing losses during a downtrend.
**Chart Example:**
Here you can see how the price reacted getting closer to this level. All green circles show a bounce-off. So just from looking at the chart we can see a potential bounce again pretty soon.
** Disclosure :**
- ** Performance Claims :** The `Uptrick: Logarithmic Crypto Bands` indicator is designed to assist traders in analyzing price levels and trends. It is important to understand that this tool provides historical data analysis and does not guarantee future performance. The features and benefits described are based on historical market behavior and should not be seen as a prediction of future results. Traders should use this indicator as part of a broader trading strategy and consider other factors before making trading decisions.
Volatility with Power VariationVolatility Analysis using Power Variation
The "Volatility with Power Variation" indicator is designed to measure market volatility. It focuses on providing traders with a clear understanding of how much the market is moving and how this movement changes over time.. This indicator helps in identifying potential periods of market expansion or contraction, based on volatility.
What the indicator does:
This indicator analyzes volatility which refers to the degree of variation in the returns of a financial instrument over time. It's an important measure to understand how much the price and returns of a asset fluctuates. High volatility means large price swings, meanwhile low volatility indicates smaller and consolidating movements. Realized (Historical) Volatility refers to volatility based on past price data.
Power Variation
Power Variation is an extension of the traditional methods used to calculate realized volatility. Instead of simply summing up squared returns (as done in calculating variance), Power Variation raises the magnitude of returns to a power p . This allows the indicator to capture different types of market behavior depending on the chosen value of p .
When P = 2, the Power variation behaves like a traditional variance measure. Lower values of p (e.g., p=1) make the indicator more sensitive to smaller price changes, meanwhile higher values make it more responsive to large jumps, but smaller price moves wont affect the measure that much or won't most likely.
Bipower Variation
Bipower variation is another method used to analyze the changes in price. It specifically isolates the continuous part of price movements from the jumps, which can help by understanding whether volatility is coming from regular market activity or from sharp, sudden moves.
How to Use the Indicator.
Understand Realized and Historical Volatility. Volatility after periods of low volatility you can eventually expect a expansion or an increase in volatility. Conversely, after periods of high volatility, the market often contracts and volatility decreases. If the variation plot is really low and you start seeing it increasing, shown by the standard deviation channels and moving average and you see it trending and increasing then that means you can expect for volatility to increase which means more price moves and expansions. Also if the scaling seems messed up, then use the logarithmic chart scale.
Institutional Demand Supply IndicatorINTRODUCTION
Institutional demand and supply zones are key areas on a price chart where large institutional traders, such as banks and hedge funds, place significant buy or sell orders. These zones often act as strong support or resistance levels due to the substantial volume of trades executed by institutions.
There are various ways to identify these areas of interest on the charts, but the main goal is to study the price movements, especially significant ones. Large financial entities tend to operate in the same price areas repeatedly. Instead of chasing price movements and risking counter moves, it's better to wait for the price to return to these areas, expecting that these entities will buy or sell there again.
INDICATOR SETTINGS:
1. High Probability Zones (HPZ) - High Probability Zones (HPZ) are demand and supply zones identified using advanced calculations to highlight the most relevant and significant areas. These zones have a higher probability of impacting price movements. Better to keep it turned On.
2. Zone Extension? - Extending zones can be useful for identifying areas that have already been retraced as these zones may continue to influence market dynamics despite the retracement.
3. Zone Type - This option lets you select the zone layout type. 4 options are given which are self explanatory.
4. Directional Candle Count - This option keeps a count of number of consecutive bullish / bearish candle that you would like to set as qualifying parameter for demand / supply zone. For Example - If you keep the number 1, the script will draw a demand or supply zone by just checking if 1 candle has met all the criteria's and calculations.
5. Zone Validity Percentage - You can set the percent change for the number of candles mentioned in point 4 above.
6. HPZ - Keep the number between 6 to 10. As you move the number up, less number of zones will be displayed.
7. Zone Count - You can adjust the number of visible demand and supply zones on the chart. Increase this number if you want to display more zones, or decrease it if the chart becomes too cluttered.
D I S P L A Y
1. Background Color Demand / Supply Zone - This is the background color of demand and supply zone.
2. Channel Color Demand / Supply Zone - This is the color of channel.
3. Channel Line Style - Choose between Solid, dotted or dashed.
4. Background Color Transparency - Choose the transparency of background color
5. Channel Line Width - Choose Channel line width between 1 to 4.
6. Channel Line Transparency - Choose Channel Line Transparency and keep it between 1 to 100.
Sometimes, a level may be breached on one timeframe, but that doesn’t mean the indicator is not working. To understand the price action better, switch to a different timeframe to check why that level was breached and why it found support at a different zone on another timeframe. Look at the 2 screenshots below.

TrendFusion [CrypTolqa]This code colors the SMA line red when the RSI is below 50 and the CCI is below 0, and green when the RSI is above 50 and the CCI is above 0. For cases that do not meet the specified details, the line is displayed in gray.
Helacator Ai ThetaHelacator Ai Theta is a state-of-the-art advanced script. It helps the trader find the possibility of a trend reversal in the market. By finding that point at which the three black crows pattern combines with the three white soldiers pattern, it is the most cherished pattern in technical analysis for its signal of strong bullish or bearish momentum. Therefore, it is a very strong predictive tool in the ability of shifting markets.
Key Highlights: Three White Soldiers and Three Black Crows Patterns
The script identifies these candlestick formations that consist of three consecutive candles, either bullish (Three White Soldiers) or bearish (Three Black Crows). These patterns help the trader identify possible trend reversal points as they provide an early signal of a change in the market direction. It is with great care that the script is written to evaluate the position and relationship between the candlesticks for maintaining the accuracy of pattern recognition. Moving Averages for Trend Filtering:
Two important ones used are moving averages for filtering any signals not in accordance with the general trend. The length of these MAs is variable, allowing the traders to be in a position to adapt the script for use under different market conditions. The moving averages ensure that signals are only taken in the direction that supports the general market flow, so it leads to more reliability within the signals. The MAs are not plotted on the chart for the sake of clarity, but they still perform a crucial function in signal filtering and can be displayed optionally for a more detailed investigation. Cooldown filter to reduce over-trading
This is part of what is implemented in the script to prevent generation of consecutive signals too quickly. All this helps to reduce market noise and not overtrade—only when market conditions are at their best. The cooldown period can be set to be adjusted according to the trader's preference, making the script more versatile in its use. Practical Considerations: Educational Purpose: This script is for educational purposes only and should be part of a comprehensive trading approach. Proper risk management techniques should be observed while at the same time taking into consideration prevailing market conditions before making any trading decision.
No Guaranteed Results: The script is aimed at bringing signal accuracy into improvement to align with the broader market trend and reducing noise, but past performance cannot guarantee future success. Traders should use this script within their broad trading approach. Clean and Simple Chart Display: The primary goal of this script is to have a clear and simple display on the chart. The signals are prominently marked with "BUY" and "SELL," and the color of the bars has changed according to the last signal, thus traders can easily read the output. Community and Open Source Open Source Contribution: This script is open for contribution by the TradingView community. Any suggestions regarding improvements are highly welcomed. Candlestick patterns, moving averages, and the combination of the cooldown filter are presented in such a way as to give traders something special, and any modifications or extra touch by the community is appreciated.

D-Shape Breakout Signals [LuxAlgo]The D-Shape Breakout Signals indicator uses a unique and novel technique to provide support/resistance curves, a trailing stop loss line, and visual breakout signals from semi-circular shapes.
🔶 USAGE
D-shape is a new concept where the distance between two Swing points is used to create a semi-circle/arc, where the width is expressed as a user-defined percentage of the radius. The resulting arc can be used as a potential support/resistance as well as a source of breakouts.
Users can adjust this percentage (width of the D-shape) in the settings ( "D-Width" ), which will influence breakouts and the Stop-Loss line.
🔹 Breakouts of D-Shape
The arc of this D-shape is used for detecting breakout signals between the price and the curve. Only one breakout per D-shape can occur.
A breakout is highlighted with a colored dot, signifying its location, with a green dot being used when the top part of the arc is exceeded, and red when the bottom part of the arc is surpassed.
When the price reaches the right side of the arc without breaking the arc top/bottom, a blue-colored dot is highlighted, signaling a "Neutral Breakout".
🔹 Trailing Stop-Loss Line
The script includes a Trailing Stop-Loss line (TSL), which is only updated when a breakout of the D-Shape occurs. The TSL will return the midline of the D-Shape subject to a breakout.
The TSL can be used as a stop-loss or entry-level but can also act as a potential support/resistance level or trend visualization.
🔶 DETAILS
A D-shape will initially be colored green when a Swing Low is followed by a Swing High, and red when a Swing Low is followed by a Swing High.
A breakout of the upper side of the D-shape will always update the color to green or to red when the breakout occurs in the lower part. A Neutral Breakout will result in a blue-colored D-shape. The transparency is lowered in the event of a breakout.
In the event of a D-shape breakout, the shape will be removed when the total number of visible D-Shapes exceeds the user set "Minimum Patterns" setting. Any D-shape whose boundaries have not been exceeded (and therefore still active) will remain visible.
🔹 Trailing Stop-Loss Line
Only when a breakout occurs will the midline of the D-shape closest to the closing price potentially become the new Trailing Stop value.
The script will only consider middle lines below the closing price on an upward breakout or middle lines above the closing price when it concerns a downward breakout.
In an uptrend, with an already available green TSL, the potential new Stop-Loss value must be higher than the previous TSL value; while in a downtrend, the new TSL value must be lower.
The Stop-Loss line won't be updated when a "Neutral Breakout" occurs.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Length: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer-term Swing Levels.
🔹 D-Patterns
Minimum Patterns: Minimum amount of visible D-Shape patterns.
D-Width: Width of the D-Shape as a percentage of the distance between both Swing Points.

Curved Price Channels (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Curved Price Channels (Zeiierman) is designed to plot dynamic channels around price movements, much like the traditional Donchian Channels, but with a key difference: the channels are curved instead of straight. This curvature allows the channels to adapt more fluidly to price action, providing a smoother representation of the highest high and lowest low levels.
Just like Donchian Channels, the Curved Price Channels help identify potential breakout points and areas of trend reversal. However, the curvature offers a more refined approach to visualizing price boundaries, making it potentially more effective in capturing price trends and reversals in markets that exhibit significant volatility or price swings.
The included trend strength calculation further enhances the indicator by offering insight into the strength of the current trend.
█ How It Works
The Curved Price Channels are calculated based on the asset's average true range (ATR), scaled by the chosen length and multiplier settings. This adaptive size allows the channels to expand and contract based on recent market volatility. The central trendline is calculated as the average of the upper and lower curved bands, providing a smoothed representation of the overall price trend.
Key Calculations:
Adaptive Size: The ATR is used to dynamically adjust the width of the channels, making them responsive to changes in market volatility.
Upper and Lower Bands: The upper band is calculated by taking the maximum close value and adjusting it downward by a factor proportional to the ATR and the multiplier. Similarly, the lower band is calculated by adjusting the minimum close value upward.
Trendline: The trendline is the average of the upper and lower bands, representing the central tendency of the price action.
Trend Strength
The Trend Strength feature in the Curved Price Channels is a powerful feature designed to help traders gauge the strength of the current trend. It calculates the strength of a trend by analyzing the relationship between the price's position within the curved channels and the overall range of the channels themselves.
Range Calculation:
The indicator first determines the distance between the upper and lower curved channels, known as the range. This range represents the overall volatility of the price within the given period.
Range = Upper Band - Lower Band
Relative Position:
The next step involves calculating the relative position of the closing price within this range. This value indicates where the current price sits in relation to the overall range.
RelativePosition = (Close - Trendline) / Range
Normalization:
To assess the trend strength over time, the current range is normalized against the maximum and minimum ranges observed over a specified look-back period.
NormalizedRange = (Range - Min Range) / (Max Range - Min Range)
Trend Strength Calculation:
The final Trend Strength is calculated by multiplying the relative position by the normalized range and then scaling it to a percentage.
TrendStrength = Relative Position * Normalized Range * 100
This approach ensures that the Trend Strength not only reflects the direction of the trend but also its intensity, providing a more comprehensive view of market conditions.
█ Comparison with Donchian Channels
Curved Price Channels offer several advantages over Donchian Channels, particularly in their ability to adapt to changing market conditions.
⚪ Adaptability vs. Fixed Structure
Donchian Channels: Use a fixed period to plot straight lines based on the highest high and lowest low. This can be limiting because the channels do not adjust to volatility; they remain the same width regardless of how much or how little the price is moving.
Curved Price Channels: Adapt dynamically to market conditions using the Average True Range (ATR) as a measure of volatility. The channels expand and contract based on recent price movements, providing a more accurate reflection of the market's current state. This adaptability allows traders to capture both large trends and smaller fluctuations more effectively.
⚪ Sensitivity to Market Movements
Donchian Channels: Are less sensitive to recent price action because they rely on a fixed look-back period. This can result in late signals during fast-moving markets, as the channels may not adjust quickly enough to capture new trends.
Curved Price Channels: Respond more quickly to changes in market volatility, making them more sensitive to recent price action. The multiplier setting further allows traders to adjust the channel's sensitivity, making it possible to capture smaller price movements during periods of low volatility or filter out noise during high volatility.
⚪ Enhanced Trend Strength Analysis
Donchian Channels: Do not provide direct insight into the strength of a trend. Traders must rely on additional indicators or their judgment to gauge whether a trend is strong or weak.
Curved Price Channels: Includes a built-in trend strength calculation that takes into account the distance between the upper and lower channels relative to the trendline. A broader range between the channels typically indicates a stronger trend, while a narrower range suggests a weaker trend. This feature helps traders not only identify the direction of the trend but also assess its potential longevity and strength.
⚪ Dynamic Support and Resistance
Donchian Channels: Offer static support and resistance levels that may not accurately reflect changing market dynamics. These levels can quickly become outdated in volatile markets.
Curved Price Channels: Offer dynamic support and resistance levels that adjust in real-time, providing more relevant and actionable trading signals. As the channels curve to reflect price movements, they can help identify areas where the price is likely to encounter support or resistance, making them more useful in volatile or trending markets.
█ How to Use
Traders can use the Curved Price Channels in similar ways to Donchian Channels but with the added benefits of the adaptive, curved structure:
Breakout Identification:
Just like Donchian Channels, when the price breaks above the upper curved band, it may signal the start of a bullish trend, while a break below the lower curved band could indicate a bearish trend. The curved nature of the channels helps in capturing these breakouts more precisely by adjusting to recent volatility.
Volatility:
The width of the price channels in the Curved Price Channels indicator serves as a clear indicator of current market volatility. A wider channel indicates that the market is experiencing higher volatility, as prices are fluctuating more dramatically within the period. Conversely, a narrower channel suggests that the market is in a lower volatility state, with price movements being more subdued.
Typically, higher volatility is observed during negative trends, where market uncertainty or fear drives larger price swings. In contrast, lower volatility is often associated with positive trends, where prices tend to move more steadily and predictably. The adaptive nature of the Curved Price Channels reflects these volatility conditions in real time, allowing traders to assess the market environment quickly and adjust their strategies accordingly.
Support and Resistance:
The trend line act as dynamic support and resistance levels. Due to it's adaptive nature, this level is more reflective of the current market environment than the fixed level of Donchian Channels.
Trend Direction and Strength:
The trend direction and strength are highlighted by the trendline and the directional candle within the Curved Price Channels indicator. If the price is above the trendline, it indicates a positive trend, while a price below the trendline signals a negative trend. This directional bias is visually represented by the color of the directional candle, making it easy for traders to quickly identify the current market trend.
In addition to the trendline, the indicator also displays Max and Min values. These represent the highest and lowest trend strength values within the lookback period, providing a reference point for understanding the current trend strength relative to historical levels.
Max Value: Indicates the highest recorded trend strength during the lookback period. If the Max value is greater than the Min value, it suggests that the market has generally experienced more positive (bullish) conditions during this time frame.
Min Value: Represents the lowest recorded trend strength within the same period. If the Min value is greater than the Max value, it indicates that the market has been predominantly negative (bearish) over the lookback period.
By assessing these Max and Min values, traders gain an immediate understanding of the underlying trend. If the current trend strength is close to the Max value, it indicates a strong bullish trend. Conversely, if the trend strength is near the Min value, it suggests a strong bearish trend.
█ Settings
Trend Length: Defines the number of bars used to calculate the core trendline and adaptive size. A length of 200 will create a smooth, long-term trendline that reacts slowly to price changes, while a length of 20 will create a more responsive trendline that tracks short-term movements.
Multiplier: Adjusts the width of the curved price channels. A higher value tightens the channels, making them more sensitive to price movements, while a lower value widens the channels. A multiplier of 10 will create tighter channels that are more sensitive to minor price fluctuations, which is useful in low-volatility markets. A multiplier of 2 will create wider channels that capture larger trends and are better suited for high-volatility markets.
Trend Strength Length: Defines the period over which the maximum and minimum ranges are calculated to normalize the trend strength. A length of 200 will smooth out the trend strength readings, providing a stable indication of trend health, whereas a length of 50 will make the readings more reactive to recent price changes.

Magic Linear Regression Channel [MW]Introduction
The Magic Linear Regression Channel indicator provides users with a way to quickly include a linear regression channel ANYWHERE on their chart, in order to find channel breakouts and bounces within any time period. It uses a novel method that allows users to adjust the start and end period of the regression channel in order to quickly make adjustments faster, with fewer steps, and with more precision than with any other linear regression channel tool. It includes Fibonacci bands AND a horizontal mode in order for users to quickly define significant price levels based on the high, low, open, and close prices defined by the start period.
Settings
Start Time: This is initially MANUALLY SELECTED ON THE CHART when the indicator is first loaded.
End time: This is also initially MANUALLY SELECTED ON THE CHART when the indicator is first loaded.
Horizontal Line: This forces the baseline to be horizontal. The band distance is defined by the maximum price distance from the band.
Horizontal Line Type: This snaps the horizontal line to the close, high, low, or open price. Or, it can also use a regression calculation for the selected time period to define the y-position of the line.
Extend Line N Bars: How many bars to the left in which to extend the baseline and bands.
Show Baseline ONLY!!: Removes all lines except the baseline and it’s extension.
Add Half Band: Includes a band that is half the distance between the baseline and the top and bottom bands
Add Outer Fibonacci Band: Includes a band that is 1.618 (phi) times the default band distance
Add Inner Fibonacci Band - Upper: Includes a band that is 0.618 (1/phi) times the default band distance
Add Inner Fibonacci Band - Lower: Includes a band that is 0.382 (1 - 1/phi) times the default band distance
Calculations
This indicator uses the least squares approach for generating a straight regression line, which can be reviewed at Wikipedia’s “Simple Linear Regression” page. It sums all of the x-values, and y-values, as well as the sum of the product of corresponding x and y values, and the sum of the squares of the x-values. These values are used to calculate the slope and intercept using the following equations:
slope = (n * sum_xy - sum_x * sum_y) / (n * sum_xx - sum_x * sum_x)
And
intercept = (sum_y - slope * sum_x) / n
The slope and intercept are then used to generate the baseline and the corresponding bands using the user-selected offsets.
How to Use
When the Magic Linear Regression Channel indicator is first added to the chart, there will be a blue prompt behind the “Indicators, Metrics & Strategies” window. Close the window, then select a START POINT by clicking at a desired location on the chart. Next, you will be prompted to select an END POINT. The end point MUST be placed after the START POINT. At this time a channel will be generated. Once you’ve selected the START POINT and END POINT, you can adjust them by dragging them anywhere on the chart. Each adjustment will generate a new channel making it easier for you to quickly visualize and recognize any channel exits and bounces.
The Magic Linear Regression Channel indicator works great at identifying wave patterns. Place the start line at a top or bottom pivot point. Place the end line at the next respective top or bottom pivot. This will give you a complete wave form to work with. When price reaches a band and rejects, it can be a strong indication that price may move back to one of the bands in the channel. If price exits the channel with volume that supports the exit, it may be an indication of a breakout.
You can also use the horizontal mode to identify key levels, then add Fibonacci bands based on regression calculations for the given time period to provide more meaningful areas of support and resistance.
Other Usage Notes and Limitations
Occasionally, off-by-1 errors appear which makes the extended lines protrude at a slightly incorrect angle. This is a known bug and will be addressed in the next release.
It's important for traders to be aware of the limitations of any indicator and to use them as part of a broader, well-rounded trading strategy that includes risk management, fundamental analysis, and other tools that can help with reducing false signals, determining trend direction, and providing additional confirmation for a trade decision. Diversifying strategies and not relying solely on one type of indicator or analysis can help mitigate some of these risks.
Double Donchian Channels [CrossTrade]Dual Channel System
The indicator incorporates two Donchian Channels - the Inner Channel and the Outer Channel. These channels are adjustable, allowing users to define their lengths according to their trading strategy.
Inner Channel: With a default length of 100 periods, the Inner Channel provides a closer view of market trends and potential support and resistance areas. It includes an upper, lower, and middle line (average of the upper and lower), offering detailed insights into shorter-term price movements.
Outer Channel: Set with a default length of 300 periods, the Outer Channel offers a broader perspective, ideal for identifying long-term trends and stronger levels of support and resistance.
Dynamic Color Coding: The middle lines of both channels change color based on the relationship between the previous close and the channel's basis. This feature provides an immediate visual cue regarding market sentiment.
Touching Bars Highlighting: The indicator highlights bars that touch the upper or lower bands of either channel. This is particularly useful for identifying potential reversals or continuation patterns.
Pullback Identification: By differentiating between bars that touch the Inner Channel only and those that touch the Outer Channel, the indicator helps in identifying pullbacks within a broader trend.
Customizable Alert System: Users can set up alerts for specific conditions - a bar touching the bottom band of the Inner Channel (green), the bottom band of the Outer Channel (blue), the upper band of the Inner Channel (red), and the upper band of the Outer Channel (orange). These alerts assist in timely decision-making and can be tailored to individual trading styles.
The indicator is a versatile tool designed to adapt to various trading styles and timeframes. Its features make it suitable for trend analysis, identifying potential reversal points, and understanding market volatility.
