Three Candle Rolling Pivot Range**Strategy Description: Three Previous Candle Rolling Pivot Range**
**Introduction:**
This trading strategy is based on the concept of the rolling pivot range calculated from the high, low, and close prices of the three previous candles. The rolling pivot range serves as a dynamic support and resistance level, and this strategy aims to capture potential trading opportunities based on the price relationship with this range.
**Strategy Components:**
**1. Rolling Pivot Range Calculation:**
- **Rolling Pivot:** Calculate the rolling pivot by averaging the high, low, and close prices of the three previous candles.
- **Second Number:** Find the midpoint between the high and low of the three previous candles.
- **Pivot Differential:** Measure the difference between the rolling pivot and the second number.
- **Rolling Pivot Range High:** Set as rolling pivot + pivot differential.
- **Rolling Pivot Range Low:** Set as rolling pivot - pivot differential.
**2. Entry Rules:**
- **Long Entry:**
- Initiate a long entry when the current close is above both the rolling pivot range high and the rolling pivot.
- Continue the long entry as long as both the rolling pivot range high and low are higher than the corresponding values of the previous candle.
- **Short Entry:**
- Start a short entry when the current close is below both the rolling pivot range high and the rolling pivot.
- Continue the short entry as long as both the rolling pivot range high and low are lower than the corresponding values of the previous candle.
**Visualization:**
- **Plotting:**
- The rolling pivot range high, rolling pivot, and rolling pivot range low are plotted on the chart for visual reference.
- Long entry points are marked with a green triangle below the corresponding candle.
- Short entry points are marked with a red triangle above the corresponding candle.
**Conclusion:**
This strategy leverages the rolling pivot range to identify potential reversal points in the market. By considering the relative position of the current price compared to the dynamic support and resistance levels, the strategy aims to capture favorable trading opportunities. However, like all trading strategies, it should be used cautiously and backtested thoroughly on historical data to ensure its effectiveness before implementation in a live trading environment. Additionally, risk management techniques should always be applied to safeguard trading capital.

Intraday Intensity Index [SyntaxGeek]Intraday Intensity Index
This is a volume-based technical indicator that integrates volume with a security’s price. Use this to follow how intraday highs and lows are moving with volume.
The Intraday Intensity Index was developed by Dave Bostian.
It is one of several indicators that can be used to follow how volume is influencing a security’s price. It provides a continuous volume-focused indicator by using a security’s most recent close, high and low in its calculation while also factoring in volume.
I've searched high and low for the correct implementation of this measure and I can only find it buried within old books or in PineScript's own ta.iii, but no one has provided it as a histogram indicator correctly.
The main difference I can find is that most are not restricting volumes influence to the denominator solely, which is how Dave designed it.
For illustration the correct implementation is:
(2 * close - high - low) / ((high - low) * volume)
Such a simple change but compare to many other indicators that claim to implement the measure and it's easy to see the difference.
I also provided a high/low mode that aims to ease comparison to Bollinger Bands which is something that John Bollinger references when utilizing III.
Setting III to 20 trend and high/low mode can present similar areas of extreme breaks to the high or low and may be great entries for trades but you must complete your own analysis.
Volume Delta Trailing Stop [LuxAlgo]The ' Volume Delta Trailing Stop ' indicator uses Lower Time Frame (LTF) volume delta data which can provide potential entries together with a Volume-Delta based Trailing Stop-line .
🔶 USAGE
Our 'Volume Delta Trailing Stop' script can show potential entries/Stop Loss lines
A trigger line needs to be broken before a position is taken, after which a Volume Delta-controlled Trailing Stop-line is created:
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Volume rises when bought or sold
🔹 When the opening price appears on the chart, a buy/sell order has been executed.
If that order is less than the available supply of that particular price, volume will rise, without moving the price.
🔹 When the opening price is the same as the closing price, the volume of that bar can be seen as "neutral volume" (nV); nor "up", nor "down" volume.
Example
A buy order doesn't fill the first available supply in the order book. This price will be the opening price with a certain volume.
When at closing time, price still hasn't moved (the first available supply in the order book isn't filled, or no movement downwards),
the closing price will be equal to the opening price, but with volume. This can be seen as "neutral volume (nV)".
🔹 Delta Volume (ΔV): this is "up volume" minus "down volume"
🔹 Standard volume is colored red when closing price is lower than opening price ( = "down volume").
🔹 Standard volume is colored green when closing price is higher OR equal (nV) than opening price ( = "up volume").
🔹 Neutral Volume
The "Neutral-Volume" is considered "Up-Volume" - setting will dictate whether nV is considered as green 'buy' volume or not.
🔶 EXAMPLE
29 July 10:00 -> 10:05, chart timeframe 5 minutes, open 29311.28, close 29313.89
close > open, so the volume (39.55) is colored green ("up volume").
(The Volume script used in the following examples is the open-source publication Volume Columns w. Alerts (V) from LucF )
Let's zoom to the 1-minute TF:
The same period is now divided into more bars, volume direction (color) is dependable on the difference between open and close.
Counting up and down volume gives a more detailed result, it remains in an upward direction though):
(ΔV = +15.51)
Let's further zoom in to the 1-second TF:
The same period is now divided into even more bars (more possibility for changing direction on each bar)
Here we see several bars that haven't moved in price, but they have volume ("neutral" volume).
(neutral volume is coloured light green here, while up volume is coloured darker green)
When we count all green and red volume bars, the result is quite different:
(ΔV = -0.35)
In total more volume is found when price went downwards, yet price went up in these 5 minutes.
-> This is the heart of our publication, when this divergence occurs, you can see a barcolor changement:
• orange: when price went up, but LTF Volume was mainly in a downward direction.
• blue: when price went down, but LTF Volume was mainly in an upwards direction.
When we split the green "up volume" into "up" and "neutral", the difference is even higher
(here "neutral volume" is colored grey):
(ΔV = -12.76; "up" - "down")
🔶 CONCEPTS
bullishBear = current bar is red but LTF volume is in upward direction -> blue bar
bearishBull = current bar is green but LTF volume is in downward direction -> orange bar
🔹 Potential positioning - forming of Trigger-line
When not in position, the script will wait for a divergence between price and volume direction. When found, a Trigger-line will appear:
• at high when a blue bar appears ( bullishBear ).
• at low when an orange bar appears ( bearishBull ).
Next step is when the Trigger-line is broken by close or high/low (settings: Trigger )
Here, the closing price went under the grey Trigger-line -> bearish position:
🔹 Trailing Stop-line
When the Trigger-line is broken, the Trailing Stop-line (TS-line) will start:
• low when bullish position
• high when bearish position
You can choose (settings -> Trigger -> Close or H/L ) whether close price or high/low should break the Trigger-line
When alerts are enabled ("Any alert() function call"), you'll get the following message:
• ' signal up ' when bullish position
• ' signal down' when bearish position
After that, the TS-line will be adjusted when:
• a blue bullishBear bar appears when in bullish position -> lowest of {low , previous blue bar's high or orange bar's low}
• an orange bearishBull bar appears when in bearish position -> highest of {high, previous blue bar's high or orange bar's low}
When alerts are enabled ("Any alert() function call"), and the TS-line is broken, you'll get the following message:
• ' TS-line broken down ' when out bullish position
• ' TS-line broken up ' when out bearish position
🔹 Reference Point
Default the direction of price will be evaluated by comparing closing price with opening price.
When open and close are the same, you'll get "neutral volume".
You can use "previous close" instead (as in built-in volume indicator) to include gaps.
If close equals open , but close is lower than previous close , it will be regarded as " down volume ",
similar, when close is higher than previous close , it will be regarded as " up volume "
Note, the setting applies for the current timeframe AND Lower timeframe:
Based on: " open " (close - open)
Based on: " previous close " (close - previous close)
🔹 Adjustment
When the TS-line changes, this can be adjusted with a percentage of price , or a multiple of " True Range "
Default (Δ line -> Adjustment - 0)
Δ line -> Adjustment 0.03% (of price)
Δ line -> Mult of TR (10)
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 LTF: choose your Lower TimeFrame: 1S (seconds), 5S, 10S, 15S, 30S, 1 minute)
🔹 Trigger: Choose the trigger for breaking the Trigger-line ; close or H/L (high when bullish position, low when bearish position)
🔹 Δ line ( Trailing Stop-line ): add/subtract an adjustment when the TS-line changes ( default: Adjustment ):
• Adjustment ( default: 0 ): add/subtract an extra % of price
• Mult of TR : add/subtract a multiple of True Range
🔹 Based on: compare closing price against:
• open
• previous close
🔹 "Neutral-Volume" is considered "Up-Volume" : this setting will dictate whether nV is considered as green 'buy' volume or not.
🔶 CONSIDERATIONS
🔹 The lowest LTF (1S) will give you more detail and will get data close to tick data.
However, a maximum of 100,000 intrabars can be used in calculations .
This means on the daily chart you won't see anything since 1 day ~ 86400 seconds. (just over 1 bar)
-> choose a lower chart timeframe, or choose a higher LTF (5S, 10S, ... 1 minute)
🔹 Always choose a LTF lower than the current chart timeframe.
🔹 Pine Script™ code using this request.security_lower_tf() may calculate differently on historical and real-time bars, leading to repainting .

Double Trends [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator simply plots multi-part double trends and should be used in conjunction as a visual aid to my Double Trend Counter indicator.
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a close price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a close price that is lower than the price it opened.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Peak and Trough Prices (Basic)
• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Upper Trends
• A return line uptrend is formed when the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price.
• A double-top is formed when the current peak price is equal to the preceding peak price.
Lower Trends
• An uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price.
• A return line downtrend is formed when the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
• A double-bottom is formed when the current trough price is equal to the preceding trough price.
Muti-Part Upper and Lower Trends
• A multi-part return line uptrend begins with the formation of a new return line uptrend and continues until a new downtrend ends the trend.
• A multi-part downtrend begins with the formation of a new downtrend and continues until a new return line uptrend ends the trend.
• A multi-part uptrend begins with the formation of a new uptrend and continues until a new return line downtrend ends the trend.
• A multi-part return line downtrend begins with the formation of a new return line downtrend and continues until a new uptrend ends the trend.
Double Trends
• A double uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price and the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A double downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price and the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
Muti-Part Double Trends
• A multi-part double uptrend begins with the formation of a new uptrend that proceeds a new return line uptrend, and continues until a new downtrend or return line downtrend ends the trend.
• A multi-part double downtrend begins with the formation of a new downtrend that proceeds a new return line downtrend, and continues until a new uptrend or return line uptrend ends the trend.
█ FEATURES
Plots
Green up-arrows, with the number of the double trend part, denote double uptrends. Red down-arrows, with the number of the double trend part, denote double downtrends.
█ LIMITATIONS
Some higher timeframe candles on tickers with larger lookbacks such as the DXY , do not actually contain all the open, high, low and close (OHLC) data at the beginning of the chart. Instead, they use the close price for open, high and low prices. So, while we can determine whether the close price is higher or lower than the preceding close price, there is no way of knowing what actually happened intra-bar for these candles. And by default candles that close at the same price as the open price, will be counted as green.
The green and red candle calculations are based solely on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with. Alternatively, you can replace the scenarios with your own logic to account for the gap anomalies, if you are feeling up to the challenge.

Table
The table is colour coded, consists of seven columns and, as many as, fifteen rows. Blue cells denote the multi-part trend scenarios, green cells denote the corresponding double uptrend scenarios and red cells denote the corresponding double downtrend scenarios.
The double trend scenarios are listed in the first column with their corresponding total counts to the right, in the second and fifth columns. The last row in column one, displays the sample period which can be adjusted or hidden via indicator settings.
The third and sixth columns display the double trend scenarios as percentages of total 1-part double trends. And columns four and seven display the total double trend scenarios as percentages of the last, or preceding double trend part. For example, 4-part double trends as percentages of 3-part double trends and so on.
Plots
For a visual aid to this indicator please use in conjunction with my Double Trends indicator which can be found on my profile page under scripts, or in community scripts under the same name.
Green up-arrows, with the number of the double trend part, denote double uptrends. Red down-arrows, with the number of the double trend part, denote double downtrends.
█ HOW TO USE
This indicator is intended for research purposes, strategy development and strategy optimisation. I hope it will be useful in helping to gain a better understanding of the underlying dynamics at play on any given market and timeframe.
It can, for example, give you an idea of whether the current double trend will continue or fail, based on the current double trend scenario and what has happened in the past under similar circumstances. Such information can be very useful when conducting top down analysis across multiple timeframes and making strategic decisions.
What you do with these statistics and how far you decide to take your research is entirely up to you, the possibilities are endless.
█ LIMITATIONS
Some higher timeframe candles on tickers with larger lookbacks such as the DXY , do not actually contain all the open, high, low and close (OHLC) data at the beginning of the chart. Instead, they use the close price for open, high and low prices. So, while we can determine whether the close price is higher or lower than the preceding close price, there is no way of knowing what actually happened intra-bar for these candles. And by default candles that close at the same price as the open price, will be counted as green. You can avoid this problem by utilising the sample period filter.
The green and red candle calculations are based solely on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with. Alternatively, you can replace the scenarios with your own logic to account for the gap anomalies, if you are feeling up to the challenge.
It is also worth noting that the sample size will be limited to your Trading View subscription plan. Premium users get 20,000 candles worth of data, pro+ and pro users get 10,000, and basic users get 5,000. If upgrading is currently not an option, you can always keep a rolling tally of the statistics in an excel spreadsheet or something of the like.

Fair value bands / quantifytools— Overview
Fair value bands, like other band tools, depict dynamic points in price where price behaviour is normal or abnormal, i.e. trading at/around mean (price at fair value) or deviating from mean (price outside fair value). Unlike constantly readjusting standard deviation based bands, fair value bands are designed to be smooth and constant, based on typical historical deviations. The script calculates pivots that take place above/below fair value basis and forms median deviation bands based on this information. These points are then multiplied up to 3, representing more extreme deviations.
By default, the script uses OHLC4 and SMA 20 as basis for the bands. Users can form their preferred fair value basis using following options:
Price source
- Standard OHLC values
- HL2 (High + low / 2)
- OHLC4 (Open + high + low + close / 4)
- HLC3 (High + low + close / 3)
- HLCC4 (High + low + close + close / 4)
Smoothing
- SMA
- EMA
- HMA
- RMA
- WMA
- VWMA
- Median
Once fair value basis is established, some additional customization options can be employed:
Trend mode
Direction based
Cross based
Trend modes affect fair value basis color that indicates trend direction. Direction based trend considers only the direction of the defined fair value basis, i.e. pointing up is considered an uptrend, vice versa for downtrend. Cross based trends activate when selected source (same options as price source) crosses fair value basis. These sources can be set individually for uptrend/downtrend cross conditions. By default, the script uses cross based trend mode with low and high as sources.
Cross based (downtrend not triggered) vs. direction based (downtrend triggered):
Threshold band
Threshold band is calculated using typical deviations when price is trading at fair value basis. In other words, a little bit of "wiggle room" is added around the mean based on expected deviation. This feature is useful for cross based trends, as it allows filtering insignificant crosses that are more likely just noise. By default, threshold band is calculated based on 1x median deviation from mean. Users can increase/decrease threshold band width via input menu for more/less noise filtering, e.g. 2x threshold band width would require price to cross wiggle room that is 2x wider than typical, 0x erases threshold band altogether.
Deviation bands
Width of deviation bands by default is based on 1x median deviations and can be increased/decreased in a similar manner to threshold bands.
Each combination of customization options produces varying behaviour in the bands. To measure the behaviour and finding fairest representation of fair and unfair value, some data is gathered.
— Fair value metrics
Space between each band is considered a lot, named +3, +2, +1, -1, -2, -3. For each lot, time spent and volume relative to volume moving average (SMA 20) is recorded each time price is trading in a given lot:
Depending on the asset, timeframe and chosen fair value basis, shape of the distributions vary. However, practically always time is distributed in a normal bell curve shape, being highest at lots +1 to -1, gradually decreasing the further price is from the mean. This is hardly surprising, but it allows accurately determining dynamic areas of normal and abnormal price behaviour (i.e. low risk area between +1 and -1, high risk area between +-2 to +-3). Volume on the other hand is typically distributed the other way around, being lowest at lots +1 to -1 and highest at +-2 to +-3. When time and volume are distributed like so, we can conclude that 1) price being outside fair value is a rare event and 2) the more price is outside fair value, the more anomaly behaviour in volume we tend to find.
Viewing metric calculations
Metric calculation highlights can be enabled from the input menu, resulting in a lot based coloring and visibility of each lot counter (time, cumulative relative volume and average relative volume) in data window:
— Alerts
Available alerts are the following:
Individual
- High crossing deviation band (bands +1 to +3 )
- Low crossing deviation band (bands -1 to -3 )
- Low at threshold band in an uptrend
- High at threshold band in a downtrend
- New uptrend
- New downtrend
Grouped
- New uptrend or downtrend
- Deviation band cross (+1 or -1)
- Deviation band cross (+2 or -2)
- Deviation band cross (+3 or -3)
— Practical guide
Example #1 : Risk on/risk off trend following
Ideal trend stays inside fair value and provides sufficient cool offs between the moves. When this is the case, fair value bands can be used for sensible entry/exit levels within the trend.
Example #2 : Mean reversions
When price shows exuberance into an extreme deviation, followed by a stall and signs of exhaustion (wicks), an opportunity for mean reversion emerges. The higher the deviation, the more volatility in the move, the more signalling of exhaustion, the better.
Example #3 : Tweaking bands for desired behaviour
The faster the length of fair value basis, the more momentum price needs to hit extreme deviation levels, as bands too are moving faster alongside price. Decreasing fair value basis length typically leads to more quick and aggressive deviations and less steady trends outside fair value.
Band-Zigzag - TrendFollower Strategy [Trendoscope]Strategy Time!!!
Have built this on my earlier published indicator Band-Zigzag-Trend-Follower . This is just one possible implementation of strategy on Band-Based-Zigzag .
🎲 Notes
Experimental prototype. Not financial advise and strategy not guaranteed to make money despite backtest results
Not created or tested for any specific instrument or timeframe
Test and adopt with own risk
🎲 Strategy
This is trend following strategy built based on Bands and Zigzag. Traits of trend following strategies are
Lower win rate (Yes, thats right)
High risk reward (Compensates low win rate)
Higher drawdown
If market is choppy, trend following methods suffer.
The script implements few points to overcome the negatives such as lower win rate and higher drawdown by actively assessing pivots on the direction of trend along. This helps us take regular profits and exit on time during the end of trend. Most of the other concepts are defined and explained in indicator - Band-Zigzag-Trend-Follower and Band-Based-Zigzag
Defining a trend following method is simple. Basic rule of trend following is Buy High and Sell Low (Yes, you heard it right). To explain further - methodology involve finding an established trend which is flying high and join the trend with proper risk and optimal stop. Once you get into the trade, you will not exit unless there is change in the trend. Or in other words, the parameters which you used to define trend has reversed and the trend is not valid anymore.
🎯 Using bands
When price breaks out of upper bands (example, Bollinger Band , Keltener Channel, or Donchian Channel), with a pre determined length and multiplier, we can consider the trend to be bullish and similarly when price breaks down the lower band, we can consider the trend to be bearish .
🎯 Using Pivots
Simple logic using zigzag or pivot points is that when price starts making higher highs and higher lows, we can consider this as uptrend. And when price starts making lower highs and lower lows, we can consider this as downtrend. There are few supertrend implementations I have published in the past based on zigzags and pivot points .
Drawbacks of both of these methods is that there will be too many fluctuations in both cases unless we increase the reference length. And if we increase the reference length, we will have higher drawdown.
🎯 Band Based Zigzag Method
Here we use bands to define our pivot high and pivot low - this makes sure that we are identifying trend only on breakouts as pivots are only formed on breakouts
Our method also includes pivot ratio to cross over 1.0 to be able to consider it as trend. This means, we are waiting for price also to make new high high or lower low before making the decision on trend. But, this helps us ignore smaller pivot movements due to the usage of bands.
I have also implemented few tricks such as sticky bands (Bands will not contract unless there is breakout) and Adaptive Bands (Band will not expand unless price is moving in the direction of band). This makes the trend following method very robust.
To avoid fakeouts, we also use percentB of high/low in comparison with price retracement to define breakout.
🎲 Settings
Settings are fairly simpler and are explained as below. You will find most of the required information in tooltips.
Band-Zigzag Based Trend FollowerWe defined new method to derive zigzag last month - which is called Channel-Based-Zigzag . This script is an example of one of the use case of this method.
🎲 Trend Following
Defining a trend following method is simple. Basic rule of trend following is Buy High and Sell Low (Yes, you heard it right). To explain further - methodology involve finding an established trend which is flying high and join the trend with proper risk and optimal stop. Once you get into the trade, you will not exit unless there is change in the trend. Or in other words, the parameters which you used to define trend has reversed and the trend is not valid anymore.
Few examples are:
🎯 Using bands

Drawbacks of both of these methods is that there will be too many fluctuations in both cases unless we increase the reference length. And if we increase the reference length, we will have higher drawdown.
🎲 Band Based Zigzag Method
Band Based Zigzag will help overcome these issues by combining both the methods.
Here we use bands to define our pivot high and pivot low - this makes sure that we are identifying trend only on breakouts as pivots are only formed on breakouts.
Our method also includes pivot ratio to cross over 1.0 to be able to consider it as trend. This means, we are waiting for price also to make new high high or lower low before making the decision on trend. But, this helps us ignore smaller pivot movements due to the usage of bands.
I have also implemented few tricks such as sticky bands (Bands will not contract unless there is breakout) and Adaptive Bands (Band will not expand unless price is moving in the direction of band). This makes the trend following method very robust.
To avoid fakeouts, we also use percentB of high/low in comparison with price retracement to define breakout.
🎲 The indicator
The output of indicator is simple and intuitive to understand.
🎯 Trend Criteria
Uptrend when last confirmed pivot is pivot high and has higher retracement ratio than PercentB of High. Else, considered as downtrend.
Downtrend when last confirmed pivot is pivot low and has higher retracement ratio than PercentB of High. Else, considered as uptrend.
🎯 Settings
Settings allow you to select the band type and parameters used for calculating zigzag and then trend. Also has few options to hide the display.
Fair Value Gap [LuxAlgo]Fair value gaps (FVG) highlight imbalances areas between market participants and have become popular amongst technical analysts. The following script aims to display fair value gaps alongside the percentage of filled gaps and the average duration (in bars) before gaps are filled.
Users can be alerted when an FVG is filled using the alerts built into this script.
🔶 USAGE
In practice, FVG's highlight areas of support (bullish FVG) and resistances (bearish FVG). Once a gap is filled, suggesting the end of the imbalance, we can expect the price to reverse.
This approach is more contrarian in nature, users wishing to use a more trend-following approach can use the identification of FVG as direct signals, going long with the identification of a bullish FVG, and short with a bearish FVG.
🔹 Mitigation
By default, the script highlights the areas of only unmitigated FVG's. Users can however highlight the mitigation level of mitigated FVG's, that is the lower extremity of bullish FVG's and the upper extremity of bearish FVG's.
The user can track the evolution of a mitigated FVG's using the "Dynamic" setting.
🔹 Threshold
The gap height can be used to determine the degree of imbalance between buying and selling market participants. Users can filter fair value gaps based on the gap height using the "Threshold %" setting. Using the "Auto" will make use of an automatic threshold, only keeping more volatile FVG's.
🔶 DETAILS
We use the following rules for detecting FVG's in this script:
Bullish FVG
low > high(t-2)
close(t-1) > high(t-2)
(low - high(t-2)) / high(t-2) > threshold
Upper Bullish FVG = low
Lower Bullish FVG = high(t-2)
Bearish FVG
high < low(t-2)
close(t-1) < low(t-2)
(low(t-2) - high) / high < -threshold
Upper Bearish FVG = low(t-2)
Lower Bearish FVG = high
🔶 SETTINGS
Threshold %: Threshold percentage used to filter our FVG's based on their height.
Auto Threshold: Use the cumulative mean of relative FVG heights as threshold.
Unmitigatted Levels: Extent the mitigation level of the number of unmitigated FVG's set by the user.
Mitigation Levels: Show the mitigation levels of mitigated FVG's.
Timeframe : Timeframe of the price data used to detect FVG's.
NYSE New Highs vs New LowsNYSE New Highs vs New Lows is a simple market breadth indicator that compares HIGN, the number of new highs during that day, and LOWN, the number of new lows. The new highs are on top and lows are appropriately on bottom. Without averaging, it's a little chaotic so you can smooth them out as much as you want, and the top-right label shows how much you're smoothing.
Interpretation:
Essentially, we use $SPY or $QQQ as a proxy for what's going on in the market, but because the FAANG stocks are so heavily weighted, it's not always representative. If SPY is flat/down, but there are 200 new highs today, then one of the big boys is weighing down an otherwise very bullish market. It's like looking at one of those heatmap charts, but in a single number.
Bullish Trend
- Lots of new highs
- Very few new lows
Bearish Trend
- Lots of new lows
- Very few new highs
Potential Reversal
- Too high, 250+
- Too low, 150+
Critical Levels Mixing Price Action, Volatility and VolumeIntroduction
This indicator has the purpose of setting levels, automatically, basing its creation on three aspects of the market:
- price action
- volume
- volatility
Price Action Algorithm
I divided the candle into 3 parts:
- body => abs (close-open)
- lower tail => red candle (close-low) green candle (open-low)
- upper tail => red candle (high-open) green candle (high-close)
- total => high-low
to give the signal the following conditions must be respected
- the body must be smaller than a certain percentage ("MAX CORE SIZE%) and larger than a certain percentage (" MIN CORE SIZE%);
- furthermore, the shorter tail cannot be higher than a certain percentage ("MAXIMUM LENGTH FOR SHORTE TAIL%");
Volume Algorithm
The volume value must be greater than the volume EMA multiplied by a certain value ("Multiplier")
Volatility Algorithm
the True Range of the candle must be greater than the "ATR percentage" of the ATR
Trigger
If all these three conditions are met then and only then will the level be drawn that will include the prices of the longest tail of the candle (high/open or open/low or high/close or close/low).
How to use
Like any level, the situation in which the price is reached does not imply a market reaction, for this reason, the use together with moving averages or oscillators from which to extrapolate the divergences can be a valid tool.
Using this indicator alone you can enter the market by placing a pending order above the high or low of the candle touching the level.
Example:
a bearish candle touches a low level, we place a pending buy order above the high of the candle
a bullish candle touches a level located high, we place a pending sell order below the low of the candle

MA DerivativesMA Derivatives basicly using Ichimoku Cloud and some additional moving averages for traders.
A. ICHIMOKU
Tenkan-sen (Conversion Line): (9-period high + 9-period low)/2
On a daily chart , this line is the midpoint of the 9-day high-low range, which is almost two weeks.
Kijun-sen (Base Line): (26-period high + 26-period low)/2
On a daily chart , this line is the midpoint of the 26-day high-low range, which is almost one month.
Senkou Span A (Leading Span A): (Conversion Line + Base Line)/2
This is the midpoint between the Conversion Line and the Base Line. The Leading Span A forms one of the two Cloud boundaries. It is referred to as “Leading” because it is plotted 26 periods in the future and forms the faster Cloud boundary.
Senkou Span B (Leading Span B): (52-period high + 52-period low)/2
On the daily chart , this line is the midpoint of the 52-day high-low range, which is a little less than 3 months. The default calculation setting is 52 periods, but it can be adjusted. This value is plotted 26 periods in the future and forms the slower Cloud boundary.
Chikou Span: Represents the closing price and is plotted 26 days back.
Kumo Cloud: Kumo cloud between Senkuo Span A and Senkou Span B lines. It can be green or red. Color can be change with the trend.
You can use Ichimoku for buy&sell strategy
For Buying Strategy
- Tenkansen (Conversion Line) should crossover Kijunsen (Base line) above the highest line of cloud
- Price should be above the highest line of cloud
- Chikouspan should be above the cloud
For Selling Strategy
- Kijunsen (Base Line) should crossover Tenkansen (Conversion Line) below the lowest line of cloud
- Price should be below the lowest line of cloud
- Chikouspan should be below the cloud

D. BOLLINGER BAND
Bollinger Bands are a type of price envelope developed by John BollingerOpens in a new window. (Price envelopes define upper and lower price range levels.) Bollinger Bands are envelopes plotted at a standard deviation level above and below a simple moving average of the price. Because the distance of the bands is based on standard deviation, they adjust to volatility swings in the underlying price.
Bollinger Bands use 2 parameters, Period and Standard Deviations, StdDev. The default values are 20 for period, and 2 for standard deviations, although you may customize the combinations.
Bollinger bands help determine whether prices are high or low on a relative basis. They are used in pairs, both upper and lower bands and in conjunction with a moving average. Further, the pair of bands is not intended to be used on its own. Use the pair to confirm signals given with other indicators.
How this indicator works
When the bands tighten during a period of low volatility, it raises the likelihood of a sharp price move in either direction. This may begin a trending move. Watch out for a false move in opposite direction which reverses before the proper trend begins.
When the bands separate by an unusual large amount, volatility increases and any existing trend may be ending.
Prices have a tendency to bounce within the bands' envelope, touching one band then moving to the other band. You can use these swings to help identify potential profit targets. For example, if a price bounces off the lower band and then crosses above the moving average, the upper band then becomes the profit target.
Price can exceed or hug a band envelope for prolonged periods during strong trends. On divergence with a momentum oscillator, you may want to do additional research to determine if taking additional profits is appropriate for you.
A strong trend continuation can be expected when the price moves out of the bands. However, if prices move immediately back inside the band, then the suggested strength is negated.
Calculation
First, calculate a simple moving average. Next, calculate the standard deviation over the same number of periods as the simple moving average. For the upper band, add the standard deviation to the moving average. For the lower band, subtract the standard deviation from the moving average.
Typical values used:
Short term: 10 day moving average, bands at 1.5 standard deviations. (1.5 times the standard dev. +/- the SMA)
Medium term: 20 day moving average, bands at 2 standard deviations.
Long term: 50 day moving average, bands at 2.5 standard deviations.
E. ADJUSTABLE MOVING AVERAGES
And this script has also 2 adjustable moving average
- 1 Adjustable Simple Moving Average
- 1 Adjustable Exponential Moving Average
You can just change the length for using this tool.
Fibonacci-Trading-Indikator_3Daily (weekly, monthly) profits with the Fibonacci trading indicator_3
Quotes move in Fibonacci ratios in liquid markets. With this indicator you receive information for daily trades or for position trades based on a week or on a monthly basis, in which area you should ideally enter the market and where the minimum achievable price target is. This price target is 61.8% of yesterday's trading range, or the trading range of the previous week, or the trading range of the previous month, depending on the time frame for which the indicator should calculate the minimum achievable high / low. This is also where you realize your profit.
For this calculation, the following entries must be made in the properties window of the indicator:
• Preselection uptrend / downtrend.
• Time frame (day, week, ...) of the price bar for the possible high / low to be determined.
• Trading range of the previous day, or the previous week, or the previous month.
• Current lowest low of the selected time frame when trading has started and prices are rising.
• Current highest high of the selected time frame when trading has started and prices are falling.
Important areas for trading are:
• The entry range 0% - 23.6% for long or short.
• The target price level 61.8%.
Choose a suitable time frame to detect the direction of movement while the quotes are still moving in the entry area. The camelback indicator can be of great help. Also test the resolution setting of the camelback indicator. With a resolution of 1 hour in the 6 or 12 minute chart, you get a perspective for the broader direction. Movement patterns of corrections or consolidations, if they last more than a day or a week, also give clues to the coming direction of movement for the trade. So look back to see what happened yesterday, a week ago, or a month ago. Pay attention to the market anatomy, find out how the market works, count the price bars in consolidations and trends.
After entering the values the indicator will show the Fibonacci expansion price levels for the possible high or low for the selected time frame. Buy / sell within the entry range between 0% and 23.6% as the market moves towards the last long / or short entry point. This is the course range up to the 23.6% course level. The 61.8% price level is the minimum expected price target. We assume that the current bar will reach at least 61.8% of the trading range of the previous day, week or month. Depending on the set time frame. You should therefore realize the profits you have made with 50% of the position when the prices have reached the 61.8% level. With a suitable trailing stop you can be stopped with the rest of the position, but do not risk more than 50% of the profits.
With the quarter or year preselection and the corresponding entries, the minimum expected quarterly high / quarterly low or annual high / annual low can be determined.
The Fibonacci price levels can be shown and hidden. In the chart click on the gear wheel for “Chart Settings”. In the “Scaling” menu, the price levels can be displayed with the preselection “Label for indicator names” and “Label for last indicator value”. Slide the chart to the right to find possible support and resistance at the price levels that could provide confirmation of the target.
In the event of input errors or missing entries for a time frame, the indicator is hidden.
Pay attention to your trade management to avoid losses.
The new Fibonacci Trading Indicator_3 has the following additions and changes:
Area code for the quarter time frame has been added.
The entry area received a 23.6% and a 50% subdivision. Two envelope lines above the 23.6% entry level in the case of an upward trend and below the 23.6% entry level in the case of a downtrend, with a width of 23.6% and 14.6% of the entry level, are intended to indicate that the closing price is higher the quotations have broken out of the entry-level area.
A volatility stop for upward and downward trends can be activated.
A factor is added to the fluctuation range of each price bar for the stop. Then a moving average is calculated with an adjustable period. The period setting should be set between 5 and 10. The result can be smoothed adjustable.
Presetting:
Periods = 10
Factor = 1.4
Smoothing = 7
With the assumption that the market entry in an upward trend occurs when the prices break out above a bar high, the result of the stop calculation is subtracted from the bar high. In the case of a downward trend, the result of the stop calculation is added to the price bar low.
When entering the market, set the factor to 2.4. If inside bars follow a trend movement, the stop should be brought closer. Try the factor setting 0.4 or less. The smallest adjustable factor is 0.1.
For the entry into an established trend, as described in an idea contribution by me, there are two switchable moving averages. The application for the (MA_H) takes place on high and for the (MA_L) adjustable on high, low, shot, h + 1/2 etc. Period and offset (shift) are adjustable. With this idea, the entry into the market occurs between a 618% correction (the Fibonacci entry point) and the DEP (average entry point). The DEP in this case is the MA_H with period = 4 and an offset = 1 in the case of a downward trend, or the MA_L with the same setting and application to lows in an upward trend.
Also test the MA_L in trends with the settings (period, offset) 3.3 or 5, 3 or 7.5 and applying it to closing prices for a close encompassing of the highs / lows.
Tägliche (wöchentliche, monatliche) Gewinne mit dem Fibonacci-Trading Indikator_3
Kursnotierungen bewegen sich in liquiden Märkten in Fibonacci-Verhältnisse. Mit diesem Indikator erhalten Sie für Tagesgeschäfte, oder für Positionstrades auf Basis einer Woche, oder auf Basis eines Monats Informationen, in welchem Bereich Sie idealerweise in den Markt einsteigen sollten und wo das mindeste erreichbare Kursziel liegt. Dieses Kursziel liegt bei 61,8% der gestrigen Handelspanne, oder der Handelspanne der Vorwoche, oder der Handelspanne des Vormonats, also abhängig davon für welchen Zeitrahmen der Indikator das mindeste erreichbare Hoch/Tief berechnen soll. Dort realisieren Sie auch Ihren Gewinn.
Für diese Berechnung sind folgende Eingaben im Eigenschaftenfenster des Indikators einzustellen:
• Vorwahl Aufwärtstrend/ Abwärtstrend.
• Zeitrahmen (Tag, Woche, …) des Kursbalkens für das zu ermittelnde mögliche Hoch/ Tief.
• Handelspanne des vorherigen Tages, oder der vorherigen Woche, oder des vorherigen Monats.
• Aktuell tiefstes Tief des vorgewählten Zeitrahmens, wenn der Handel begonnen hat und die Notierungen steigen.
• Aktuell höchstes Hoch des vorgewählten Zeitrahmens, wenn der Handel begonnen hat und die Notierungen fallen.
Wichtige Bereiche für das Trading sind:
• Der Einstiegsbereich 0% - 23,6% für long oder short.
• Der Kursziellevel 61,8%.
Wählen Sie für die Erkennung der Bewegungsrichtung einen geeigneten Zeitrahmen, während sich die Notierungen noch im Einstiegsbereich bewegen. Der Camelback-Indikator kann eine gute Hilfe sein. Testen Sie auch die Auflösung-Einstellung des Camelback-Indikators. Mit der Auflösung 1 Stunde Im 6- oder 12 Minuten-Chart erhalten Sie einen Blickwinkel für die große Richtung. Auch Bewegungsmuster von Korrekturen oder Konsolidierungen, wenn sie mehr als einen Tag oder eine Woche andauern geben Hinweise auf die kommende Bewegungsrichtung für den Trade. Schauen Sie also zurück um zu prüfen, was sich gestern, vor einer Woche oder vor einem Monat abgespielt hat. Achten sie auf die Marktanatomie, finden Sie heraus wie der Markt funktioniert, zählen Sie Kursstäbe in Konsolidierungen und Trends.
Nach Eingabe der Werte zeigt der Indikator die Fibonacci-Ausweitungskurslevels für das mögliche Hoch oder Tief für den ausgewählten Zeitrahmen. Kaufen/ verkaufen Sie innerhalb des Einstiegsbereichs zwischen 0% und 23,6%, während sich der Markt in Richtung des letzten long-/ oder short-Einstiegspunktes bewegt. Das ist der Kursbereich bis zum 23,6%- Kurslevel. Der 61,8%-Kurslevel ist das mindeste erwartbare Kursziel. Wir gehen davon aus, dass der aktuelle Kursbalken mindestens 61,8% der Handelsspanne des vorherigen Tages, der vorherigen Woche oder des vorherigen Monats erreichen wird. Abhängig vom eingestellten Zeitrahmen. Realisieren Sie deshalb die angelaufenen Gewinne mit 50% der Position, wenn die Notierungen den 61,8% - Level erreicht haben. Mit einem geeigneten Trailing-Stopp lassen Sie sich mit der restlichen Position ausstoppen, riskieren Sie dafür aber nicht mehr als 50 % der angelaufenen Gewinne.
Mit der Vorwahl Quartal oder Jahr und den entsprechenden Eingaben kann auch das mindeste erwartbare Quartalshoch/ Quartalstief bzw. Jahreshoch/ Jahrestief ermittelt werden.
Die Fibonacci-Kurslevels lassen sich ein- und ausblenden. Klicken Sie im Chart auf das Zahnrad für „Chart Einstellungen“. Im Menü „Skalierungen“ kann mit der Vorwahl „Label für Indikatornahmen“ und „Label für letzten Indikatorwert“ die Kurslevels angezeigt werden. Schieben Sie den Chart nach rechts um mögliche Unterstützungen und Widerstände an den Kurslevels zu finden, die Bestätigung für das Ziel geben könnten.
Bei Eingabefehlern oder fehlenden Eingaben zu einem Zeitrahmen wird der Indikator ausgeblendet.
Achten Sie zur Vermeidung von Verlusten auf ihr Handelsmanagement.
Der neue Fibonacci-Trading-Indikator_3 besitz folgende Zusätze und Änderungen:
Vorwahl für den Zeitrahmen Quartal wurde hinzugefügt.
Der Einstiegsbereich erhielt eine 23,6% und eine 50% Unterteilung. Zwei Umschlagslinien über dem 23,6%-Einstiegslevel bei einem Aufwärtstrend, bzw. unter dem 23,6%-Einstiegslevel bei einem Abwärtstrend, mit der Breite 23,6% und 14,6% vom Einstiegsbereich, sollen bei höherem Schlusskurs signalisieren, dass die Notierungen aus dem Einstiegsbereich ausgebrochen sind.
Ein Volatilitätsstopp jeweils für Aufwärts- und Abwärtstrend kann zugeschaltet werden.
Für den Stopp wird die Schwankungsbreite jedes Kursbalkens wird mit einem Faktor beaufschlagt. Danach erfolgt die Berechnung eines gleitenden Durchschnitts mit einstellbarer Periode. Die Periodeneinstellung sollte zwischen 5 und 10 eingestellt werden. Das Ergebnis kann einstellbar geglättet werden.
Voreinstellung:
Perioden = 10
Faktor = 1,4
Glättung = 7
Mit der Annahme, dass der Markteinstieg in einem Aufwärtstrend bei Ausbruch der Notierungen über ein Kursbalkenhoch erfolgt, wird das Ergebnis der Stoppberechnung vom Kursbalkenhoch subtrahiert. Bei einem Abwärtstrend wird das Ergebnis der Stoppberechnung zum Kursbalkentief addiert.
Stellen Sie bei Markteintritt den Faktor auf 2,4. Folgen nach einer Trendbewegung Innenstäbe sollte der Stopp näher herangeführt werden. Probieren Sie die Faktoreinstellung 0,4 oder kleiner. Der kleinste einstellbare Faktor ist 0,1.
Für den Einstieg in einen etablierten Trend, wie in einem Ideenbeitrag von mir beschrieben, gibt es zwei zuschaltbare gleitende Durchschnitte. Die Anwendung für den (MA_H) erfolgt auf Hochs und für den (MA_L) einstellbar auf Hoch, Tief, Schuss, h+l/2 usw.. Periode und Offset (Verschiebung) sind einstellbar. Bei dieser Idee erfolgt der Einstieg in den Markt zwischen einer 618%-Korrektur (dem Fibonacci-Einstiegspunkt) und dem DEP (Durchschnittlicher Einstiegspunkt). Der DEP ist in diesem Fall der MA_H mit Periode = 4 und einem Offset = 1, bei einem Abwärtstrend, oder der MA_L mit identischer Einstellung und Anwendung auf Tiefs in einem Aufwärtstrend.
Testen Sie den MA_L auch in Trends mit den Einstellungen (Periode, Offset) 3,3 oder 5, 3 oder 7,5 und Anwendung auf Schlusskurse für eine enge Umfassung der Hochs/ Tiefs.
Volume Profile [Makit0]VOLUME PROFILE INDICATOR v0.5 beta
Volume Profile is suitable for day and swing trading on stock and futures markets, is a volume based indicator that gives you 6 key values for each session: POC, VAH, VAL, profile HIGH, LOW and MID levels. This project was born on the idea of plotting the RTH sessions Value Areas for /ES in an automated way, but you can select between 3 different sessions: RTH, GLOBEX and FULL sessions.
Some basic concepts:
- Volume Profile calculates the total volume for the session at each price level and give us market generated information about what price and range of prices are the most traded (where the value is)
- Value Area (VA): range of prices where 70% of the session volume is traded
- Value Area High (VAH): highest price within VA
- Value Area Low (VAL): lowest price within VA
- Point of Control (POC): the most traded price of the session (with the most volume)
- Session HIGH, LOW and MID levels are also important
There are a huge amount of things to know of Market Profile and Auction Theory like types of days, types of openings, relationships between value areas and openings... for those interested Jim Dalton's work is the way to come
I'm in my 2nd trading year and my goal for this year is learning to daytrade the futures markets thru the lens of Market Profile
For info on Volume Profile: TV Volume Profile wiki page at www.tradingview.com
For info on Market Profile and Market Auction Theory: Jim Dalton's book Mind over markets (this is a MUST)
BE AWARE: this indicator is based on the current chart's time interval and it only plots on 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes charts.
This is the correlation table TV uses in the Volume Profile Session Volume indicator (from the wiki above)
Chart Indicator
1 - 5 1
6 - 15 5
16 - 30 10
31 - 60 15
61 - 120 30
121 - 1D 60
This indicator doesn't follow that correlation, it doesn't get the volume data from a lower timeframe, it gets the data from the current chart resolution.
FEATURES
- 6 key values for each session: POC (solid yellow), VAH (solid red), VAL (solid green), profile HIGH (dashed silver), LOW (dashed silver) and MID (dotted silver) levels
- 3 sessions to choose for: RTH, GLOBEX and FULL
- select the numbers of sessions to plot by adding 12 hours periods back in time
- show/hide POC
- show/hide VAH & VAL
- show/hide session HIGH, LOW & MID levels
- highlight the periods of time out of the session (silver)
- extend the plotted lines all the way to the right, be careful this can turn the chart unreadable if there are a lot of sessions and lines plotted
SETTINGS
- Session: select between RTH (8:30 to 15:15 CT), GLOBEX (17:00 to 8:30 CT) and FULL (17:00 to 15:15 CT) sessions. RTH by default
- Last 12 hour periods to show: select the deph of the study by adding periods, for example, 60 periods are 30 natural days and around 22 trading days. 1 period by default
- Show POC (Point of Control): show/hide POC line. true by default
- Show VA (Value Area High & Low): show/hide VAH & VAL lines. true by default
- Show Range (Session High, Low & Mid): show/hide session HIGH, LOW & MID lines. true by default
- Highlight out of session: show/hide a silver shadow over the non session periods. true by default
- Extension: Extend all the plotted lines to the right. false by default
HOW TO SETUP
BE AWARE THIS INDICATOR PLOTS ONLY IN THE FOLLOWING CHART RESOLUTIONS: 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 AND 30 MINUTES CHARTS. YOU MUST SELECT ONE OF THIS RESOLUTIONS TO THE INDICATOR BE ABLE TO PLOT
- By default this indicator plots all the levels for the last RTH session within the last 12 hours, if there is no plot try to adjust the 12 hours periods until the seesion and the periods match
- For Globex/Full sessions just select what you want from the dropdown menu and adjust the periods to plot the values
- Show or hide the levels you want with the 3 groups: POC line, VA lines and Session Range lines
- The highlight and extension options are for a better visibility of the levels as POC or VAH/VAL

Lucid SARI wrote this script after having listened to Hyperwave with Sawcruhteez and Tyler Jenks of Lucid Investments Strategies LLC on July 3, 2019. They felt that the existing built-in Parabolic SAR indicator was not doing its calculations properly, and they hoped that someone might help them correct this. So I tried my hand at it, learning Pine Script as I went. I worked on it through the early morning hours and finished it by 4 am on July 4, 2019. I've added a few bits of code since, adding the rule regarding the SAR not advancing beyond the high (low) of the prior two candles during an uptrend (downtrend), but the core script is as it was.
This code is open source under the MIT license. If you have any improvements or corrections to suggest, please send me a pull request via the github repository github.com
For more details on the initial script, see
Sawcruhteez from Lucid Investment Strategies wrote the following description of the Parabolic SAR, where the quotes are from Section II of J. Welles Wilder, Jr.'s book New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems (1978)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parabolic SAR
"The Parabolic Time / Price System derives its name from the fact that when charted, the
pattern formed by the stops resembles a parabola, or if you will, a French Curve. The system
allows room for the market to react for the first few days after a trade is initiated and then the
stop begins to move up more rapidly. The stop is not only a function of price but also a function
of time .
"The stop never backs up. It moves an incremental amount each day, only in the direction which
the trade has been initiated."
"The stop is also a function of price because the distance the stop moves up is relative to the
favorable distance the price has moved... specifically, the most favorable price reached since the
trade was initiated."
A. The calculation for a bullish Parabolic SAR is:
Tomorrow’s SAR = Today’s SAR + AF(EP - Today’s SAR)
"Acceleration Factor (AF) is one of a progression of numbers beginning at 0.02 and ending at
0.20. The AF is increased by 0.02 each period that a new high is made" (if long) or new low is
made (if short).
EP is the "Extreme Price Point for the trade made so far. If Long , EP is the extreme high price for
the trade; if Short , EP is the extreme low price for the trade.”
Most websites will provide the above calculation for the Parabolic SAR but almost all of them
leave out this crucial detail:
B. "Never move the SAR into the previous day’s range or today’s range
"1. If Long , never move the SAR for tomorrow above the previous day’s low or
today’s low . If the SAR is calculated to be above the previous day’s low or
today’s low, then use the lower low between today and the previous day as
the new SAR. Make the next days calculations based upon this SAR.
"2. If Short , never move the SAR for tomorrow below the previous day’s high or
today’s high . If the SAR is calculated to be below the previous days’ high or
today’s high, then use the higher high between today and the previous day
as the new SAR. Make the next days calculations based upon this SAR."
When a Bullish SAR is broken then it gets placed at the SIP (significant point) of the prior trend.
In otherwords it is placed above the current candle and at the price that was the SIP.
The inverse is true for the first Bullish SAR.
"This system is a true reversal system; that is, every stop point is also a reverse point." If breaking
through a bearish SAR (one above price) that simultaneously signals to close a short and go
long.
Ease of Movement WatcherHere’s a handy Ease of Movement(EMV) Indicator. I tried to include detailed comments so that anyone that’s learning pine can follow along.
The Ease of Movement Indicator is a volume based oscillator that is designed to measure the ease (or movability) of price movement for a security. The EMV is a centered oscillator, meaning that values can fluctuate above and below zero.
To understand how to use and interpret the EMV Indicator, its crucial to first understand its two main calculations :
Distance Moved = ((high + low) / 2) - ((high + low ) / 2)
-This is the difference between the current period’s midpoint and the previous period’s
midpoint.
Box Ratio = (volume / 100,000) / (high - low)
-When calculating the Box Ratio, it is common to divide the volume by 100,000 for a clearer visualization of the data. However, users can choose
to modify this value with the ‘volumeDiv’ input.
The Ease of Movement Value is then pretty simple to calculate:
EMV = (Distance Moved / Box Ratio)
The indicator then plots a SMA of the previous 24 EMV Values.
Looking at the formula, we know that combining low volume with a large {high, low} range will result in a relatively small box ratio value. Thus, we know that the EMV value for that period will be higher since EMV is found by dividing the Distance Moved by the Box Ratio.
Here’s a simple guide to interpreting the EMV:
- If (EMV > 0)
then price is increasing with relative ease.
-If (EMV < 0)
then price is decreasing with relative ease.
- If high-low range is large and volume is low
then ease of movement is high.
-If high-low range is small and volume is high
then ease of movement is low.
The Chart:
-The histogram represents the Simple Moving Average of EMV Values. The default length is 24, but users can adjust this value at the inputs menu(I've
found 24 works best).
-The teal and pink dotted lines represent the standard deviation of the SMA of EMV values multiplied by 2.5.
-The histogram turns dark green when the EMV SMA is greater than the top teal dotted standard deviations line.
-The histogram turns maroon when the EMV SMA falls below the bottom pink standard deviation line.
How To Use:
Enter a long position when the most recent EMV SMA value was below the lower pink stand. dev. line and the current EMV SMA value rises above that
same pink line. That means the previous bar was maroon and the current bar is not.
If the user enables the option to show entry points, a green dot will be plotted when it is time to enter a long position.
Exit the long position when the most recent EMV SMA value was above the upper green standard deviation line and the current EMV SMA value falls
below that same line. If this is true, then the previous bar will be dark green, and the current will be light green.
If the ‘showExits’ option is enabled, then a red dot will be plotted when it is time to exit the long position.
Input Options:
- 'volumeDiv' : Integer. Used in the calculation of Box Ratio.
- 'lenSMA' : Integer. The length of the Simple Moving Average of Ease of Movement Values.
- 'showStDev' : Bool. If true, dotted green and red lines will be shown at values equal to 2.5 * standard deviation of emvSMA and -2.5 * standard deviation of
emvSMA.
- 'showEntries' and 'showExits' : Bool. If true, a green circle will be plotted at long entry points and a red circle will be plotted at long exit points.
- 'changeBgColor': Bool. If true, the background color will change to green when it is time to enter a long position and red when it is time to exit.
Alerts:
- When it is time to enter a long position, an alert with the message "EMV Tracker - Enter Long" is sent.
- When it is time to exit a long position, an alert with the message "EMV Tracker - Exit Long" is sent.
NOTE:
- I usually use this indicator to confirm signals from other indicators rather than relying on it solely.
- Most accurate signals are generated on 30 minutes with the default input values I've set in the script.

PM Range Breaker [CHE] PM Range Breaker — Premarket bias with first-five range breaks, optional SWDEMA regime latch, and simple two-times-range targets
Summary
This indicator sets a once-per-day directional bias during New York premarket and then tracks a strict first-five-minutes range from the session open. After the first five complete, it marks clean breakouts and can project targets at two times the measured range. A second mode latches an EMA-based regime to inform the bias and optional background tinting. A compact panel reports live state, first-five levels, and rolling hit rates of both bias modes using a user-defined midday close for statistics.
Motivation: Why this design?
Intraday traders often get whipsawed by early noise or by fast flips in trend filters. This script commits to a bias at a single premarket minute and then waits for the market to present an objective structure: the first-five range. Breaks after that window are clearer and easier to manage. The alternative SWDEMA regime gives a slower, latched context for users who prefer a trend scaffold rather than a midpoint reference.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Typical open-range-breakout lines or a single moving-average filter without daily commitment.
Architecture differences:
Bias decision at a fixed New York time using either a midpoint lookback (“Classic”) or a two-EMA regime latch (“SWDEMA”).
Strict five-minute window from session open; breakout shapes print only after that window.
Single-shot breakout direction per session (debounce) and optional two-times-range targets.
On-chart panel with hit rates using a configurable midday close for statistics.
Practical effect: Cleaner visuals, fewer repeated signals, and a traceable daily decision that can be evaluated over time.
How it works (technical)
Time handling uses New York session times for premarket decision, open, first-five end, and a midday statistics checkpoint.
Classic bias: A midpoint is computed from the highest and lowest over a user period; at the premarket minute, the bias is set long when the close is above the midpoint, short otherwise.
SWDEMA bias: Two EMAs define a regime score that requires price and trend agreement; when both agree on a confirmed bar, the regime latches. At the premarket minute, the daily bias is set from the current regime.
The first-five range captures high and low from open until the end minute, then freezes. Breakouts are detected after that window using close-based cross logic.
The script draws range lines and optional targets at two times the frozen range. A session break direction latch prevents duplicate break markers.
Statistics compare daily open and a configurable midday close to record if the chosen bias aligned with the move.
Optional elements include EMA lines, midpoint line, latched-regime background, and regime switch markers.
Data aggregation for day logic and the first-five window is sampled on one-minute data with explicit lookahead off. On charts above one minute, values update intra-bar until the underlying minute closes.

Reading & Interpretation
Panel: Shows the active bias, first-five high and low, and a state that reads Building during the window, Ready once frozen, and Break arrows when a breakout occurs. Hit rates show the percentage of days where each bias mode aligned with the midday move.
Colors and shapes: Green background implies long bias; red implies short bias. Triangle markers denote the first valid breakout after the first-five window. Optional regime markers flag regime changes.
Lines: First-five high and low form the core structure. Optional targets mark a level at two times the frozen range from the breakout side.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Choose a bias mode. Wait for the first clean breakout after the first-five window in the direction of the bias. Confirm with structure such as higher highs and higher lows or lower highs and lower lows.
Exits and risk: Conservative users can trail behind the opposite side of the first-five range. Aggressive users can scale near the two-times-range target.
Multi-asset and multi-TF: Works well on intraday timeframes from one minute upward. For non-US sessions, adjust the time inputs to the instrument’s regular trading hours.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation: Bias and regime decisions use confirmed bars. Breakout signals evaluate on bar close at the chart timeframe. On higher timeframes, minute-based sources update within the live bar until the minute closes.
security and HTF: The script samples one-minute data. Lookahead is off. Values stabilize once the source minute closes.
Resources: `max_bars_back` is five thousand. Drawing objects and the panel update efficiently, with position extensions handled on the last bar.
Known limits: Midday statistics use the configured time, not the official daily close. Session logic assumes New York session timing. Targets are simple multiples of the first-five range and do not adapt to volatility beyond that structure.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with Classic bias, midpoint lookback at three hundred, and all visuals on.
Too many flips in context → switch to SWDEMA mode or increase EMA lengths.
Breakouts feel noisy → extend the first-five end by a minute or two, or wait for a retest by your own rules.
Too sluggish → reduce midpoint lookback or shorten EMA lengths.
Chart cluttered → hide EMA or midpoint lines and keep only range levels and breakout shapes.

Seasonality Heatmap [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Seasonality Heatmap analyzes years of historical data to reveal which months and weekdays have consistently produced gains or losses, displaying results through color-coded tables with statistical metrics like consistency scores (1-10 rating) and positive occurrence rates. By calculating average returns for each calendar month and day-of-week combination, it identifies recognizable seasonal patterns (such as which months or weekdays tend to rally versus decline) and synthesizes this into actionable buy low/sell high timing possibilities for strategic entries and exits. This helps traders and investors spot high-probability seasonal windows where assets have historically shown strength or weakness, enabling them to align positions with recurring bull and bear market patterns.
🟢 How It Works
1. Monthly Heatmap
How % Return is Calculated:
The indicator fetches monthly closing prices (or Open/High/Low based on user selection) and calculates the percentage change from the previous month:
(Current Month Price - Previous Month Price) / Previous Month Price × 100
Each cell in the heatmap represents one month's return in a specific year, creating a multi-year historical view
Colors indicate performance intensity: greener/brighter shades for higher positive returns, redder/brighter shades for larger negative returns
What Averages Mean:
The "Avg %" row displays the arithmetic mean of all historical returns for each calendar month (e.g., averaging all Januaries together, all Februaries together, etc.)
This metric identifies historically recurring patterns by showing which months have tended to rise or fall on average
Positive averages indicate months that have typically trended upward; negative averages indicate historically weaker months
Example: If April shows +18.56% average, it means April has averaged a 18.56% gain across all years analyzed
What Months Up % Mean:
Shows the percentage of historical occurrences where that month had a positive return (closed higher than the previous month)
Calculated as:
(Number of Months with Positive Returns / Total Months) × 100
Values above 50% indicate the month has been positive more often than negative; below 50% indicates more frequent negative months
Example: If October shows "64%", then 64% of all historical Octobers had positive returns
What Consistency Score Means:
A 1-10 rating that measures how predictable and stable a month's returns have been
Calculated using the coefficient of variation (standard deviation / mean) - lower variation = higher consistency
High scores (8-10, green): The month has shown relatively stable behavior with similar outcomes year-to-year
Medium scores (5-7, gray): Moderate consistency with some variability
Low scores (1-4, red): High variability with unpredictable behavior across different years
Example: A consistency score of 8/10 indicates the month has exhibited recognizable patterns with relatively low deviation
What Best Means:
Shows the highest percentage return achieved for that specific month, along with the year it occurred
Reveals the maximum observed upside and identifies outlier years with exceptional performance
Useful for understanding the range of possible outcomes beyond the average
Example: "Best: 2016: +131.90%" means the strongest January in the dataset was in 2016 with an 131.90% gain
What Worst Means:
Shows the most negative percentage return for that specific month, along with the year it occurred
Reveals maximum observed downside and helps understand the range of historical outcomes
Important for risk assessment even in months with positive averages
Example: "Worst: 2022: -26.86%" means the weakest January in the dataset was in 2022 with a 26.86% loss
2. Day-of-Week Heatmap
How % Return is Calculated:
Calculates the percentage change from the previous day's close to the current day's price (based on user's price source selection)
Returns are aggregated by day of the week within each calendar month (e.g., all Mondays in January, all Tuesdays in January, etc.)
Each cell shows the average performance for that specific day-month combination across all historical data
Formula:
(Current Day Price - Previous Day Close) / Previous Day Close × 100
What Averages Mean:
The "Avg %" row at the bottom aggregates all months together to show the overall average return for each weekday
Identifies broad weekly patterns across the entire dataset
Calculated by summing all daily returns for that weekday across all months and dividing by total observations
Example: If Monday shows +0.04%, Mondays have averaged a 0.04% change across all months in the dataset
What Days Up % Mean:
Shows the percentage of historical occurrences where that weekday had a positive return
Calculated as:
(Number of Positive Days / Total Days Observed) × 100
Values above 50% indicate the day has been positive more often than negative; below 50% indicates more frequent negative days
Example: If Fridays show "54%", then 54% of all Fridays in the dataset had positive returns
What Consistency Score Means:
A 1-10 rating measuring how stable that weekday's performance has been across different months
Based on the coefficient of variation of daily returns for that weekday across all 12 months
High scores (8-10, green): The weekday has shown relatively consistent behavior month-to-month
Medium scores (5-7, gray): Moderate consistency with some month-to-month variation
Low scores (1-4, red): High variability across months, with behavior differing significantly by calendar month
Example: A consistency score of 7/10 for Wednesdays means they have performed with moderate consistency throughout the year
What Best Means:
Shows which calendar month had the strongest average performance for that specific weekday
Identifies favorable day-month combinations based on historical data
Format shows the month abbreviation and the average return achieved
Example: "Best: Oct: +0.20%" means Mondays averaged +0.20% during October months in the dataset
What Worst Means:
Shows which calendar month had the weakest average performance for that specific weekday
Identifies historically challenging day-month combinations
Useful for understanding which month-weekday pairings have shown weaker performance
Example: "Worst: Sep: -0.35%" means Tuesdays averaged -0.35% during September months in the dataset
3. Optimal Timing Table/Summary Table
→ Best Month to BUY: Identifies the month with the lowest average return (most negative or least positive historically), representing periods where prices have historically been relatively lower
Based on the observation that buying during historically weaker months may position for subsequent recovery
Shows the month name, its average return, and color-coded performance
Example: If May shows -0.86% as "Best Month to BUY", it means May has historically averaged -0.86% in the analyzed period
→ Best Month to SELL: Identifies the month with the highest average return (most positive historically), representing periods where prices have historically been relatively higher
Based on historical strength patterns in that month
Example: If July shows +1.42% as "Best Month to SELL", it means July has historically averaged +1.42% gains
→ 2nd Best Month to BUY: The second-lowest performing month based on average returns
Provides an alternative timing option based on historical patterns
Offers flexibility for staged entries or when the primary month doesn't align with strategy
Example: Identifies the next-most favorable historical buying period
→ 2nd Best Month to SELL: The second-highest performing month based on average returns
Provides an alternative exit timing based on historical data
Useful for staged profit-taking or multiple exit opportunities
Identifies the secondary historical strength period
Note: The same logic applies to "Best Day to BUY/SELL" and "2nd Best Day to BUY/SELL" rows, which identify weekdays based on average daily performance across all months. Days with lowest averages are marked as buying opportunities (historically weaker days), while days with highest averages are marked for selling (historically stronger days).
🟢 Examples
Example 1: NVIDIA NASDAQ:NVDA - Strong May Pattern with High Consistency
Analyzing NVIDIA from 2015 onwards, the Monthly Heatmap reveals May averaging +15.84% with 82% of months being positive and a consistency score of 8/10 (green). December shows -1.69% average with only 40% of months positive and a low 1/10 consistency score (red). The Optimal Timing table identifies December as "Best Month to BUY" and May as "Best Month to SELL." A trader recognizes this high-probability May strength pattern and considers entering positions in late December when prices have historically been weaker, then taking profits in May when the seasonal tailwind typically peaks. The high consistency score in May (8/10) provides additional confidence that this pattern has been relatively stable year-over-year.
Example 2: Crypto Market Cap CRYPTOCAP:TOTALES - October Rally Pattern
An investor examining total crypto market capitalization notices September averaging -2.42% with 45% of months positive and 5/10 consistency, while October shows a dramatic shift with +16.69% average, 90% of months positive, and an exceptional 9/10 consistency score (blue). The Day-of-Week heatmap reveals Mondays averaging +0.40% with 54% positive days and 9/10 consistency (blue), while Thursdays show only +0.08% with 1/10 consistency (yellow). The investor uses this multi-layered analysis to develop a strategy: enter crypto positions on Thursdays during late September (combining the historically weak month with the less consistent weekday), then hold through October's historically strong period, considering exits on Mondays when intraweek strength has been most consistent.
Example 3: Solana BINANCE:SOLUSDT - Extreme January Seasonality
A cryptocurrency trader analyzing Solana observes an extraordinary January pattern: +59.57% average return with 60% of months positive and 8/10 consistency (teal), while May shows -9.75% average with only 33% of months positive and 6/10 consistency. August also displays strength at +59.50% average with 7/10 consistency. The Optimal Timing table confirms May as "Best Month to BUY" and January as "Best Month to SELL." The Day-of-Week data shows Sundays averaging +0.77% with 8/10 consistency (teal). The trader develops a seasonal rotation strategy: accumulate SOL positions during May weakness, hold through the historically strong January period (which has shown this extreme pattern with reasonable consistency), and specifically target Sunday exits when the weekday data shows the most recognizable strength pattern.
