Previous Day Candle [ApexFX]Previous Day Candle is a precision tool designed for intraday traders who rely on previous daily structures to find support and resistance.
While most indicators simply mark the previous high and low, this tool focuses on Session Continuity. It highlights the full 24-hour range of the previous day and extends those levels into the "Killzone" of the current trading day (up to 2:00 PM EST / 12:00 PM MST).
Why use this? Market reaction often occurs at the previous day's extremes. By extending these lines into the current session, you can easily spot:
Breakouts: Price pushing through yesterday's high.
Failed Auctions: Price sweeping yesterday's low and reversing.
Support/Resistance Flips: Old highs becoming new support.
Main Features:
Asset Class Presets: Don't worry about timezones. Simply select your market:
Forex: Aligns to the standard 5:00 PM EST New York Open.
Indices: Aligns to the 6:00 PM EST Globex Open.
Crypto: Aligns to UTC Midnight.
Custom: Full manual control for specific needs.
Visual "Boxing": Vertical dotted lines clearly demarcate the start and end of the previous trading day.
Dynamic History: Choose to show just yesterday's levels or look back at the last 5+ days.
Smart Color Coding: The indicator automatically cycles colors for each day (Blue = Yesterday, Green = 2 Days Ago, etc.), making it instant to read historical price action.
Best Used On: Intraday timeframes (5m, 15m, 1h).

SMI Color Red/Green📌 TradingView Description – SMI Red/Green Momentum Line
🔥 Stochastics Momentum Index (SMI) – Dynamic Red/Green Version
This indicator is an enhanced and modernized version of the Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI), designed to deliver a more visual, intuitive, and responsive view of trend momentum.
It includes:
✔️ Smoothed SMI
✔️ Dynamic Red/Green momentum coloring
✔️ Signal EMA line
✔️ Overbought/Oversold zones with shading
🎨 Dynamic Red/Green SMI Line
The main SMI line automatically changes color based on momentum direction:
Green → Bullish momentum (SMI rising)
Red → Bearish momentum (SMI falling)
This provides instant visual feedback and highlights early momentum changes even before traditional signal-line crossovers.
📉 Indicator Structure
1️⃣ Smoothed SMI
The SMI is calculated using the price’s position inside its range and then smoothed with an SMA to reduce noise.
2️⃣ EMA Signal Line
A customizable EMA acts as a signal line, providing:
Clear bullish/bearish crossovers
Trend confirmation
Cleaner entry/exit signals
3️⃣ Overbought / Oversold Zones
Extreme levels are highlighted using color-filled zones:
Red Zone (Overbought) → potential bearish reversal
Green Zone (Oversold) → potential bullish reversal
Levels are fully adjustable.
💡 How to Use It
The indicator works exceptionally well across all timeframes.
The most powerful signals are:
✔️ SMI crossing above/below the EMA
SMI crosses above EMA → bullish signal
SMI crosses below EMA → bearish signal
✔️ Leaving Overbought/Oversold zones
SMI exits the oversold zone → potential long setup
SMI exits the overbought zone → potential short setup
✔️ Color shifts (momentum direction)
Red → Green : early bullish momentum
Green → Red : early bearish momentum
Perfect for scalping, day trading, and swing trading.
🚀 Why This Version Is Better
Extremely visual momentum reading
Noise reduction through smoothing

Donchian Predictive Channel (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Donchian Predictive Channel (Zeiierman) extends the classic Donchian framework into a predictive structure. It does not just track where the range has been; it projects where the Donchian mid, high, and low boundaries are statistically likely to move based on recent directional bias and volatility regime.
By quantifying the linear drift of the Donchian midline and the expansion or compression rate of the Donchian range, the indicator generates a forward propagation cone that reflects the prevailing trend and volatility state. This produces a cleaner, more analytically grounded projection of future price corridors, and it remains fully aligned with the signal precision of the underlying Donchian logic.
█ How It Works
⚪ Donchian Core
The script first computes a standard Donchian Channel over a configurable Length:
Upper Band (dcHi) – highest high over the lookback.
Lower Band (dcLo) – lowest low over the lookback.
Midline (dcMd) – simple midpoint of upper and lower: (dcHi + dcLo)/ 2.
f_getDonchian(length) =>
hi = ta.highest(high, length)
lo = ta.lowest(low, length)
md = (hi + lo) * 0.5
= f_getDonchian(lenDC)
⚪ Slope Estimation & Range Dynamics
To turn the Donchian Channel into a predictive model, the script measures how both the midline and the range are changing over time:
Midline Slope (mSl) – derived from a 1-bar difference in linear regression of the midline.
Range Slope (rSl) – derived from a 1-bar difference in linear regression of the Donchian range (dcHi − dcLo).
This pair describes both directional drift (uptrend vs. downtrend) and range expansion/compression (volatility regime).
f_getSlopes(midLine, rngVal, length) =>
mSl = ta.linreg(midLine, length, 0) - ta.linreg(midLine, length, 1)
rSl = ta.linreg(rngVal, length, 0) - ta.linreg(rngVal, length, 1)
⚪ Forward Projection Engine
At the last bar, the indicator constructs a set of forward points for the mid, upper, and lower projections over Forecast Bars:
The midline is projected linearly using the midline slope per bar.
The range is adjusted using the range slope per bar, creating either a widening cone (expansion) or a tightening cone (compression).
Upper and lower projections are then anchored around the projected midline, with logic that keeps the structure consistent and prevents pathological flips when slope changes sign.
f_generatePoints(hi0, md0, lo0, steps, midSlp, rngSlp) =>
upPts = array.new()
mdPts = array.new()
dnPts = array.new()
fillPts = array.new()
hi_vals = array.new_float()
md_vals = array.new_float()
lo_vals = array.new_float()
curHiLocal = hi0
curLoLocal = lo0
curMidLocal = md0
segBars = math.floor(steps / 3)
segBars := segBars < 1 ? 1 : segBars
for b = 0 to steps
mdProj = md0 + midSlp * b
prevRange = curHiLocal - curLoLocal
rngProj = prevRange + rngSlp * b
hiTemp = 0.0
loTemp = 0.0
if midSlp >= 0
hiTemp := math.max(curHiLocal, mdProj + rngProj * 0.5)
loTemp := math.max(curLoLocal, mdProj - rngProj * 0.5)
else
hiTemp := math.min(curHiLocal, mdProj + rngProj * 0.5)
loTemp := math.min(curLoLocal, mdProj - rngProj * 0.5)
hiProj = hiTemp < mdProj ? curHiLocal : hiTemp
loProj = loTemp > mdProj ? curLoLocal : loTemp
if b % segBars == 0
curHiLocal := hiProj
curLoLocal := loProj
curMidLocal := mdProj
array.push(hi_vals, curHiLocal)
array.push(md_vals, curMidLocal)
array.push(lo_vals, curLoLocal)
array.push(upPts, chart.point.from_index(bar_index + b, curHiLocal))
array.push(mdPts, chart.point.from_index(bar_index + b, curMidLocal))
array.push(dnPts, chart.point.from_index(bar_index + b, curLoLocal))
ptSet.new(upPts, mdPts, dnPts)
⚪ Rejection Signals
The script also tracks failed Donchian breakouts and marks them as potential reversal/reversion cues:
Signal Down: Triggered when price makes an attempt above the upper Donchian band but then pulls back inside and closes above the midline, provided enough bars have passed since the last signal.
Signal Up: Triggered when price makes an attempt below the lower Donchian band but then snaps back inside and closes below the midline, also requiring sufficient spacing from the previous signal.
// Base signal conditions (unfiltered)
bearCond = high < dcHi and high >= dcHi and close > dcMd and bar_index - lastMarker >= lenDC
bullCond = low > dcLo and low <= dcLo and close < dcMd and bar_index - lastMarker >= lenDC
// Apply MA filter if enabled
if signalfilter
bearCond := bearCond and close < ma // Bearish only below MA
bullCond := bullCond and close > ma // Bullish only above MA
signalUp := false
signalDn := false
if bearCond
lastMarker := bar_index
signalDn := true
if bullCond
lastMarker := bar_index
signalUp := true
█ How to Use
The Donchian Predictive Channel is designed to outline possible future price trajectories. Treat it as a directional guide, not a fixed prediction tool.
⚪ Map Future Support & Resistance
Use the projected upper and lower paths as dynamic future reference levels:
Projected upper band ≈ is likely a resistance corridor if the current trend and volatility persist.
Projected lower band ≈ likely support corridor or expected downside range.
⚪ Trend Path & Volatility Cone
Because the projection is driven by midline and range slopes, the channel behaves like a trend + volatility cone:
Steep positive midline slope + expanding range → accelerating, high-volatility trend.
Flat midline + compressing range → coiling/contracting regime ahead of potential expansion.
This helps you distinguish between a gentle drift and an aggressive move that likely needs more risk buffer.
⚪ Reversion & Rejection Signals
The Donchian-based signals are especially useful for mean-reversion and fade-style trades.
A Signal Down near the upper band can mark a failed breakout and a potential rotation back toward the midline or the lower projected band.
A Signal Up near the lower band can flag a failed breakdown and a potential snap-back up the channel.
When Filter Signals is enabled, these signals are only generated when they align with the chart’s directional bias as defined by the moving average. Bullish signals are allowed only when the price is above the MA, and bearish signals only when the price is below it.
This reduces noise and helps ensure that reversions occur in harmony with the prevailing trend environment.
█ Settings
Length – Donchian lookback length. Higher values produce a smoother channel with fewer but more stable signals. Lower values make the channel more reactive and increase sensitivity at the cost of more noise.
Forecast Bars – Number of bars used for projecting the Donchian channel forward.
Higher values create a broader, longer-term projection. Lower values focus on short-horizon price path scenarios.
Filter Signals – Enables directional filtering of Donchian signals using the selected moving average. When ON, bullish signals only trigger when the price is above the MA, and bearish signals only trigger when the price is below it. This helps reduce noise and aligns reversions with the broader trend context.
Moving Average Type – The type of moving average used for signal filtering and optional plotting.
Choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, or HMA depending on desired responsiveness. Faster averages (EMA, HMA) react quickly, while slower ones (SMA, WMA) smooth out short-term noise.
Moving Average Length – Lookback length of the moving average. Higher values create a slower, more stable trend filter. Lower values track price more tightly and can flip the directional bias more frequently.

EMA Cloud5 EMA works as a single indicator.
You can see 8-21-55-100-200 EMAs all together in one indicator.
There is also a cloud between the 8 and 21 EMA. When the 8 EMA is above the 21 EMA, the cloud appears green. When the 21 EMA is above the 8 EMA, the cloud appears red.
MTF VWAP + Candlestick VWAP Reactions (Bounce + Score)It’s an intraday VWAP + candlestick confluence tool that:
Draws daily, weekly, monthly, yearly VWAPs.
Detects textbook candlestick patterns, classed as BuH/BuM (bullish high/moderate) and BeH/BeM (bearish high/moderate) with colored boxes.
Triggers long/short arrows only when price bounces off a VWAP by at least 0.15% AND there’s a recent matching pattern.
Grades every signal as A / B / C with a score 1–10:
A (8–10) = high-reliability pattern (BuH/BeH) + strong 2-candle body reaction (your A+ setups).
B (5–8) = moderate pattern (BuM/BeM) + one solid bounce.
C (1–5) = weaker / mixed context (scalpy or gamble).

9/15 EMA Scalper 9/15 EMA Scalper — by uzairbaloch
This script is a price-action based scalping system built around the 9 EMA and 15 EMA trend structure.
It identifies short-term reversal points where the market pulls back into the EMAs and confirms direction with a strong candle signal.
The strategy looks for:
• A clear EMA trend (9 above 15 for buys, 9 below 15 for sells)
• Pullback into EMA9/EMA15 with candle bodies touching the fast EMA
• Strong confirmation candle (engulfing / strong momentum / controlled wick)
• Optional slope filter to avoid flat, choppy sessions
• Automatic trade labels showing Entry, SL and TP (based on R:R)
The script is designed for scalping on gold, indices, and high-volatility FX pairs.
It resets trade logic immediately after SL or TP is hit, so it can catch the next valid signal without delay.
This tool is meant as an indicator — not a full strategy — and can be used to visually mark high-probability EMA pullback setups with precise levels.

Macketings 1min ScalpingThis is a hyper-reactive scalping strategy designed for the 1-minute chart. It utilizes a strict four-EMA hierarchy (80/90/340/500) to ensure trades are only taken in the strongest aligned market trend. The strategy is built to be extremely tight on risk and focuses on capturing the immediate, high-momentum swing that follows a confirmed EMA retest or breakout.
Key Mechanics (How it Works):
Strict Trend Alignment: Entry is only permitted when the faster EMA band (80/90) and the price action are correctly aligned with the slow trend (340/500).
Long: EMA 80/90 must be above EMA 340/500, AND EMA 340 must be above EMA 500. (And vice-versa for Short.)
Expanded Retest Entry: The strategy waits for the price to retest or briefly enter the 80/90 band, then immediately enters upon the confirmed momentum breakout from that band.
Dynamic Risk Management (Tight Ride): The strategy is engineered to ride the wave aggressively while protecting capital immediately:
Extremely Tight Initial Stop Loss (0.2% default): Limits initial risk instantly.
Break-Even Security: Once profit hits 0.3%, the Stop Loss is automatically trailed to secure 0.2% profit (a risk-free trade).
Aggressive Exit Logic: Positions are closed not only upon hitting the Take Profit target (2.5%) but also immediately if the 80/90 EMA band crosses the 340 EMA, signaling a critical loss of momentum.
Disclaimer:
This strategy requires high-liquidity instruments and is best used on low timeframes (1-minute) due to its dependency on fast momentum shifts and tight stops. Backtesting and forward testing are crucial before deployment.

Energy Meter (Candle Range/ATR Ratio)Purpose:
This indicator is a simple, intuitive way to visualize auction energy — the actual force behind a price move — rather than just its appearance on the chart. It’s built on a single idea:
If a bar travels farther than normal in its fixed amount of time, something pushed harder than usual.
That “push” is auction energy, and it’s the raw material of microstructure inference: reading intent and imbalance from nothing more than candles, tempo, and volatility.
Traditional indicators focus on price patterns or volume. This one focuses on pressure — the underlying imbalance driving each bar.
How It Works
Each bar’s True Range is divided by its ATR, producing a normalized ratio:
1.0 = Average energy
>1.2 (default) = Above-normal energy
<1.0 = Quiet, low-pressure bars
This ratio is plotted as a histogram to highlight bursts of force, with a smoothed line added to show the tempo of recent energy changes.
When the histogram spikes, you’re seeing the auction flash its teeth: aggression, initiative, failed absorption, breakout ignition, or the first punch of a reversal.
When the line rolls over, you’re seeing the engine lose torque.
It’s a minimalist tool for seeing who is actually winning the auction, even when price looks deceptively calm.
Why It Matters
Price moves because of imbalance, not geometry. Two candles that look identical can represent completely different internal dynamics.
This indicator helps you see:
Breakout strength vs. fakeouts
Acceleration vs. drift
Exhaustion after extended runs
Reversal attempts with real intent
Quiet absorption before explosive moves
Shifts in aggression hidden inside consolidation
For new traders, it’s a clean introduction to microstructure inference — extracting meaningful order-flow insights without needing L2, DOM, or volume profile.
For experienced traders, it's a compact impulse detector that complements trend, volatility, and liquidity models.
Summary
This is a lightweight, first-principles tool designed to expose the energy signature of the auction: how hard the market is trying to go somewhere.
It doesn’t predict direction — it reveals pressure, so you can judge the quality of the move you’re trading.
Energy beats geometry.
Intent beats patterns.
Microstructure is hiding in every candle; this indicator makes it visible.

Smart Margin Zone
SMART MARGIN ZONE - CME-BASED SUPPORT & RESISTANCE INDICATOR
TITLE FOR PUBLICATION:
Smart Margin Zone - CME Margin-Based Support and Resistance
CATEGORY:
Support and Resistance
SHORT DESCRIPTION (for preview):
Automatically plots margin zones based on CME Group requirements. These zones represent critical price levels where leveraged traders face margin calls, creating natural support and resistance through forced liquidations.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
FULL DESCRIPTION FOR TRADINGVIEW:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 Smart Margin Zone - Professional Trading Zones Based on CME Data
This indicator automatically calculates and displays margin zones derived from official CME Group margin requirements. These zones represent critical price levels where traders using leverage receive margin calls, triggering forced position closures that create natural support and resistance levels.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 CORE CONCEPT
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
When price reaches calculated margin zones, traders using 2:1 or 4:1 leverage on CME futures receive margin calls. Brokers automatically liquidate these positions, creating waves of buying or selling pressure that form strong support and resistance levels.
This is not theoretical - it's based on actual margin requirements from CME Group, the world's largest derivatives marketplace.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📐 CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The indicator uses the following formula to calculate zone sizes:
Zone Size = (Margin Requirement / Tick Value) × Tick Size × 1.10
Where:
• Margin Requirement = Official CME initial margin (updated November 2024)
• Tick Value = Dollar value of minimum price movement
• Tick Size = Minimum price increment
• 1.10 = 10% buffer for realistic zone width
SUPPORTED INSTRUMENTS WITH CME DATA:
Currency Pairs:
• EURUSD: $2,100 margin → 0.0168 zone size
• GBPUSD: $1,800 margin → 0.0144 zone size
• AUDUSD: $1,300 margin → 0.0065 zone size
• NZDUSD: $1,100 margin → 0.0055 zone size
• USDJPY: $3,200 margin → custom calculation
• USDCAD: $950 margin → calculated
• USDCHF: $1,650 margin → calculated
Commodities:
• Gold (XAUUSD): $8,000 margin → 80 points zone size
• Silver (XAGUSD): $6,500 margin → calculated
• WTI Crude Oil: $4,500 margin → calculated
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔍 HOW IT WORKS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
1. SWING POINT DETECTION
The indicator automatically identifies swing highs and swing lows using a configurable lookback period (default 10 bars). These become anchor points for zone calculations.
2. FIVE ZONE LEVELS
From each swing point, five zone levels are calculated:
• Zone 1/4 (25%) - First correction level
• Zone 1/2 (50%) - KEY ZONE for trend determination
• Zone 3/4 (75%) - Intermediate level
• Zone 1/1 (100%) - Full margin zone (strongest level)
• Zone 5/4 (125%) - Extended zone
3. TREND IDENTIFICATION
• Close above Zone 1/2 resistance = Bullish trend
• Close below Zone 1/2 support = Bearish trend
• Between zones = Range/consolidation
4. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Current zones are displayed prominently with fills and labels. Historical zones appear as thin, semi-transparent lines for context without cluttering the chart.

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
DATA ACCURACY:
• CME margin requirements updated November 2024
• Margins change periodically - check CME Group website
• Manual mode available for latest margin data
• Indicator provides analysis tool, not financial advice
STATISTICAL PERFORMANCE:
• Historical data shows >60% probability of continued movement after Zone 1/2 breakout
• Zone effectiveness varies by market conditions
• Best results in trending markets with clear swings
LIMITATIONS:
• Margin requirements change - monitor CME updates

• Over-leveraging based solely on zone placement
• Ignoring broader market context
• Expecting perfect bounces every time
OPTIMIZE:
• Adjust swing length for different timeframes
• Shorter period (5-7) for intraday trading
• Longer period (15-20) for swing trading
• Test historical effectiveness on your instruments

DANGHIEU EMA 34/89/200 Ribbon (Scaled HTF)📘 Indicator Description – EMA 34/89/200 Ribbon (Scaled HTF)
The EMA 34/89/200 Ribbon (Scaled HTF) indicator is designed to replicate higher-timeframe EMAs directly on your current chart without switching timeframes.
Using a precise HTF Scaling Algorithm, the script converts EMAs from 1H, 2H, 4H, 6H, 12H, 1D, and even 1W into equivalent lengths on lower timeframes—allowing traders to perform true multi-timeframe trend analysis on a single chart.
The 34-EMA and 89-EMA form a dynamic trend ribbon that changes color based on the relationship between the two moving averages. This helps traders quickly identify trend direction, momentum strength, and potential market reversals. The indicator also includes optional crossover markers (X symbols) to highlight bullish and bearish crossovers for cleaner signal recognition. EMA200 is included as the long-term trend anchor.
This tool is ideal for scalpers, day traders, and swing traders who require higher-timeframe context while trading lower-timeframe entries.
🟦 How to Use the Indicator
1. Choose the Higher Timeframe to Simulate
Use the “HTF to Simulate” dropdown to select the timeframe you want to emulate (e.g., 4H, 2H, 1D, 1W).
The script automatically scales the EMA lengths so they match the selected HTF.
2. Read the Ribbon for Trend Direction
Green Ribbon → EMA34 above EMA89 → Bullish momentum
Red Ribbon → EMA34 below EMA89 → Bearish momentum
The ribbon expands when momentum strengthens and contracts during consolidation.
3. Use EMA Crossovers as Signal Zones
Optional X markers highlight crossover points:
Bullish Crossover → EMA34 crosses above EMA89
Bearish Crossover → EMA34 crosses below EMA89
These crossovers often align with trend shifts or early momentum changes.
4. EMA200 as Trend Filter
The EMA200 acts as the macro trend filter:
Price above EMA200 → only consider long setups
Price below EMA200 → only consider short setups
Combining ribbon trend + EMA200 alignment improves signal accuracy.
5. Multi-Timeframe Trading Strategy
This indicator is powerful for:
Scalping with HTF bias
Pullback entry on lower timeframe during HTF trend
Identifying trend exhaustion when the ribbon flips
Confirming wave structure (Elliott Wave, Dow Theory)
Spotting strong momentum phases and squeeze zones
Example workflow:
Select 4H as HTF simulation.
Trade on 15m or 5m chart.
Enter only when price aligns with the HTF ribbon + EMA200 trend.
Use EMA crossovers as confirmation signals.
