lib_plot_objectsLibrary "lib_plot_objects"
library wrapping basic builtin object constructors, to be able to do calculations with points/lines/boxes/triangles/polygons via libraries and on securities. inspired by Trendoscope's ( and ) with added update mechanism to not have to recreate objects on every iteration for continously drawn items, automated xloc selection for coordinates, compatibility check for Points, added Triangle and Polygon types, object reflection via tostring to valid json (logging via webhook)

[MAD] Support / ResistanceSupport/Resistance - Multi-Timeframe Data Plotter
This Pine Script indicator provides users with the ability to analyze various technical indicators, including Bollinger Bands, Simple Moving Averages (SMA), Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), and Pivot Points, across different timeframes. It visually represents these indicators on the chart, allowing for comprehensive analysis.
Key Features:
Bollinger Bands: The indicator supports 6 different timeframes for Bollinger Bands. Users can customize the length of the Bollinger Bands for each timeframe and choose whether to display levels and plots.
Simple Moving Averages (SMA): The indicator supports 4 different timeframes for SMAs. Users can define custom lengths for the SMAs and choose which ones to display on the chart or in the S/R Screen.
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA): Similar to SMAs, the indicator supports 4 different timeframes for EMAs. Users can define custom lengths for the EMAs and choose which ones to display on the chart or in the S/R Screen.
Pivot Points: The indicator supports 4 different timeframes for Pivot Points. Users can choose between Traditional and Fibonacci calculation methods and customize the appearance of the pivot levels.
Global Switches: Users have the option to enable or disable the display of pivots, Bollinger Bands, SMAs, EMAs, open/close/high/low values, horizon plot, and VPR-style plot (weighted Gaussian addition).
Plot Limitation: Users can limit the plotting of support and resistance lines by specifying a percentage up/down.
This indicator offers extensive customization and flexibility, allowing users to analyze the market using these technical indicators across multiple timeframes.
Please refer to this screenshot for an overview of all available settings:
Additionally, the indicator includes a multiplot-chartselect feature to address the limitation of 32 data streams with colors. This feature enables the selection of 10 SMAs or EMAs from different timeframes, along with 3 timeframes of Bollinger Bands and the daily open/close values, all in a single packed indicator. Here is an example of how the data can be displayed:
Enabling all features simultaneously may result in visual overload. However, for users who wish to view specific indicators, this indicator provides all the necessary options. Please refer to this screenshot for an example of various indicators displayed:
To enhance visibility, all lines are weighted, and line and label positions can be dynamically shifted based on these weights.
Higher TimeFrame Smooth Moving AveragesScript is designed for those who dislike how plotting a moving average from a higher timeframe on a lower timeframe chart results in a choppy zigzag line when using the standard request.security(syminfo.ticker,"x",ta.sma(src,len)) method.
My more elegant solution was to translate the chart's current timeframe, and the selected higher timeframe into seconds, then check if selected timeframe is Larger than chart timeframe, but not so large that too many bars would be necessary. Then the quotient is calculated by dividing the chosen timeframe (value in seconds) by the chart's timeframe (value in seconds).
Then take that quotient and multiply it by the chosen length. This gives us how many bars of the chart's timeframe would be used in calculating the higher timeframe Moving Average
Use the value to calculate a moving average of choice (SMA,EMA,WMA,LRC,DEMA,TEMA,TRIMA,FRAMA) thanks to @TradingView 's ta library () and @alexgrover 's () for their functions supporting series as length, making this possible.
Basically, get how many of the current chart's bars are in the higher timeframe moving average and use that as the length for calculation using chart's timeframe.
If the higher timeframe relative is too large relative to chart's timeframe, due to bar referencing limits some combinations may not be possible under current limitations, but most will work by either moving chart's timeframe higher or higher timeframe lower assuming you aren't trying to do something too extreme like plotting a weekly moving average onto a 30 second chart etc.
Branch CurveLibrary "branch"
Generates a branch made of segments with a starting angle
and a turning angle for each segment. The branch is generated from a starting point
and a number of nodes to generate. The length of each segment and angle of each segment
can be adjusted. The branch can be generated in 2D or 3D, render as you wish.
method branch(origin, nodes, segment_length, segment_growth, angle_start, angle_turn)
# Branch Generation.
- `origin`: CommonTypesMath.Vector3 - The starting point of the branch. If the z value is not zero, it will be used as the starting angle.
- `nodes`: int - The number of nodes to generate.
- `segment_length`: float - The length of each segment.
- `segment_growth`: float - The growth of each segment. 0 = no growth, 100 = double the length of the previous segment.
- `angle_start`: float - The starting angle of the branch in degrees.
- `angle_turn`: float - The turning angle of each segment in degrees.
Namespace types: CommonTypesMath.Vector3
Parameters:
origin (Vector3 type from RicardoSantos/CommonTypesMath/1) : The starting point of the branch. If the z value is not zero, it will be used as the starting angle.
nodes (int) : The number of nodes to generate.
segment_length (float) : The length of each segment.
segment_growth (float) : The growth of each segment. 0 = no growth, 100 = double the length of the previous segment.
angle_start (float) : The starting angle of the branch in degrees.
angle_turn (float) : The turning angle of each segment in degrees.
@return segments The list of segments that make up the branch.
RGB Color FiddlerKEEP YOUR COINS FOLKS! I DON'T NEED THEM, DON'T WANT THEM. Many other talented authors on TV deserve them.
INTRODUCTION:
This is my "RGB Color Fiddler", intended as a toy to play with. This colorcator is rated 'E' for every TV member. With this you can quickly generate about 1.67 million potential colors from color.rgb(). While I have a few preferred colors that are ideal for use, this allows you to finely tune colors to anything that pleases your eye on your canvas.
TIPS:
The overlay chart can be peppered with colors of all varieties, so it's necessary to have properly distinguished coloring and contrast separation. If you employ light charts, you can tweak colors to just the right shade you desire on your display. Not all LCDs are created equal, even when color calibrated. With specific discovered colors tailored to your liking, you may uniquely color code ALL of your indicators.
UTILITY:
The input()s in Settings allow up to 4 different colors to tinker with and compare. After selecting focus of an input, you can easily use the up/down keyboard keys to make swift adjustments numerically or with options. The color combos you are creating will be displayed in color hex or a RGB representation within the labels.
Also of great benefit, is the ability to cycle through the currently available plot() styles. Some styles will require you to zoom in closeup to observe their behaviors. There is a few other ways to finagle plot() parameters to also achieve other acrobatic effects that are not demonstrated here. Closer study of plot() parameters in the reference can reveal those. Anyhow, I won't bother you with more elaborate technical jargon, now is the time to fiddle with this toy to your benefit!
CODE REUSE:
Any member has the freedom to use any of the code in this script any way they see fit. It's specifically intended for all. There is absolutely no need for accreditation for any of this code reuse ever, in the present case. Don't worry about, I'm certainly not.
When available time provides itself, I will consider your inquiries, thoughts, and concepts presented below in the comments section, should you have any questions or comments regarding this indicator. When my indicators achieve more prevalent use by TV members , I may implement more ideas when they present themselves as worthy additions. Have a profitable future everyone!
Repeating Plot/Alerts Workaround
Here we have 2 simple conditions for long and short.
Once a condition is met, it ignores the same signal until the other condition is met and vice versa.
Had this issue in a script of mine, but couldn't find any published idea regarding this.
Cheers.
Dollar Cost Average (Data Window Edition)Hi everyone
Hope you had a nice weekend and you're all excited for the week to come. At least I am (thanks to a few coffee but that still counts !!!)
This indicator is inspired from Dollar-Cost-Average-Cost-Basis
EDUCATIONAL POST
The educational post is coming a bit later this afternoon explaining how to use the indicator so I would advise to follow me so that you'll get updated in real-time :) (shameless self-advertising)
1 - What is Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)?
Dollar-Cost Averaging is a strategy that allows an investor to buy the same dollar amount of an investment on regular intervals. The purchases occur regardless of the asset's price.
I hope you're hungry because that one is a biggie and gave me a few headaches. Happy that it's getting out of my way finally and I can offer it
This indicator will analyse for the defined date range, how a dollar cost average (DCA) method would have performed vs investing all the hard earnt money at the beginning
2- What's on the menu today ?
Please check this screenshot to understand what you're supposed to see : CLICK ME I'M A SCREENSHOT (I'll repeat this URL one more time below as I noticed some don't read the information on my description and then will come pinging me saying "sir me no understand your indicator, itz buggy sir"
(yes I finally thought about a way to share screenshots on TradingView, took me 4 weeks, I'm slow to understand things apparently)
My indicator works with all asset classes and with the daily/weekly/monthly timeframes
As always, let's review quickly the different fields so that you'll understand how to use it (and I won't get spammed with questions in DM ^^)
- Use current resolution : if checked will use the resolution of the chart
- Timeframe used for DCA : different timeframe to be used if Use current resolution is unchecked
- Amount invested in your local currency : The amount in Fiat money that will be invested at each period selected above
- Starting Date
- Ending Date
- Select a candle level for the desired timeframe : If you want to use the open or close of the selected period above. Might make a diffence when the timeframe is weekly or monthly
3 - Specifications used
I got the idea from this website dcabtc.com and the result shown by this website and my indicator are very interesting in general and for your own trading
The formula used for the DCA calculation is that one : Investopedia Dollar Cost Average
4 - How to interpret the results
"But sir which results ??"...... those ones : CLICK ME I'M A SCREENSHOT :) (strike #2 with the screenshot)
It will draw all the plots and will give you some nice data to analyze in the Data Window section of TradingView
I'm not completely satisfied with the tool yet but the results are very closed to the dcabtc website mentioned above
If you're trading a very bullish asset class (who said crypto ?), it's very interesting to see what a DCA strategy could bring in term of performance. But DCA is not magic, there is a time component which is the day/week/month you'll start to invest (those who invested in crypto beginning of 2018 in altcoins know what I'm talking about and ..............will hate me for this joke)
5 - What's next ?
As said, the educational post is coming next but not only.
Will probably post a strategy tomorrow using this indicator so that you can compare what's performing best between your trading and a dollar cost average method
I'll publish as a protected source this time a more advanced version of that one including DCA forecasts
6 - Suggested alternative (but I'll you doing it)
If you don't want to have this panel in the bottom with the plots and analyze the results in the data window, you can always create an infopanel like shown here Risk-Reward-InfoPanel/ and display all the data there
Hope you'll like it, like me, love it, love me, tip me :)
