Volume DensitySince we don't have tick count per time interval, let's do it this way. Basically "bigger the move bigger the volume" rule applies in most times, making volume alone kinda useless. What is more interesting, is when there was a huge volume within a relatively small range, or vice versa, a huge move without equally increased volume.
Without diving into details, bars with low volatility and serious volume are aprox. areas of possible future reversals/pullbacks, while volumeless high volatility moves should not cause any serious stops in price action.
This is just a small easy script to highlight this process. "Mathematically speaking, it's just a reciprocal of quotient of awfewefaffwqg..... Nah, not this time.
HOW IT WORKS:
Volume Density = 1/(range/volume)
We take range of a bar (high minus low), divide it by volume of the same bar, in order to neutralize this "bigger-bigger" relationship. Then we memorize this number, take 1 and divide 1 by this number, in order to inverse the result. So now, small bars with big volume will be rated higher than just by using classic volume histogram.
I suppose it would be easy to use it along with classic volume histogram, and assess the differences between these 2 histograms.

"pullback"に関するスクリプトを検索
LBR 3-10 OscillatorThis is a variation of MACD popularised by Linda Bradford Raschke. Instead of the regular MACD settings, the this indicator uses simple moving averages, not exponential moving averages, and a setting of 3 for the fast MA, 10 for the slow MA and 16 for the signal line.
The signal line (red) acts as a trend indicator, with crossings of the zero line indicating trend changes, while the MACD line (blue) acts as a short term momentum indicator.
Setups:
- First cross: This is basically selling or buying at the first pullback after a trend change. Buy or sell after the signal line has crossed the zero line and the MACD crosses the signal line for the first time after the trend change. Use price action to time the entry after the pullback — you don't need to wait for the MACD to cross the signal line again.
- Pullback in a trend: The MACD crosses the signal line in the opposite direction of the trend irregardless of when the trend change occurred. Use price action to time the entry.
- Divergence: The MACD line shows a pattern diverging form price (e.g. makes higher lows whereas price makes lower lows). This can be an indication of trend reversal or waning.
In the indicator's input panel there is an option for showing standard deviation bands (turned off by default). MACD line crossing the standard deviation bands can indicate oversold and overbought conditions.
The indicator comes with the following alerts:
- First cross downtrend
- First cross uptrend
- Pullback in downtrend
- Pullback in uptrend
- Trend change down
- Trend change up

Up or Down?I read somewhere that candles can easily confuse the eye, making it easy to lose focus. We get distracted by the size of the candle body and the candle's color without paying attention to its true range and how it compares to that of the previous candle.
With Up or Down? you get two signals. The blue arrow below lets you know that the candle's current low and high price are both higher than that of the previous candle -- the range is trending up. Conversely, the red arrow lets you know the low and high are both lower -- the range is trending down.
I designed it with pullbacks in mind. Determine the trend with your favorite indicator. Or use Up or Down? to give you an impression of it. A lot of blue arrows consistently rising broken up by only a few red arrows would indicate an uptrend. Then, wait for signals that don't fit the trend (ie, red arrows in an uptrend). Buy in at the first candle that confirms a return to the trend. (Your mileage may vary.)
MACD_trendtrader v2 (picte)This is an upgraded version of my MACD_trendtrader indicator.
UPGRADES:
- Histogram slope changes colors according to the direction of the slope.
- Panel that displays volatility of the asset. The volatility is measured from 0 to 100. Zero being the lowest and 100 the highest volatility. I also included different text colors for a certain volatility value (white= very low volatility, blue = low volatility, purple= high volatility, green= very high volatility)
It works well on all time-frames but i found it particularly useful on the lower time-frames for identifying pullbacks in a trending market.
It has been tested in the Forex and Traditional market.

Quad CCI ContainmentThe Quad CCI is a trend identification indicator described by Mark Whistler in his book 'Volatility Illuminated'. The reason for using four separate CCI channels is so that we can:
Prevent ourselves from taking positions against momentum.
Time our trades with short-term 'wrist-rocket' thrust from the larger market momentum.
Clearly determine whether the trend is up, down, or sideways.
In his book, Whistler refers to four CCI channels as 'The Four Horsemen'. The 100 and 200 are like big burly swordsmen, which are hard to budge without significant force. The 50-period CCI is more like the guy who's fast on his feet, but still tough enough to take on the big dudes. And the 14-period is similar to the scout of the party. The fastest of the bunch, but also the first to turn-tail at any sign of danger.
Basically, this means that when we see the 100 and 200-CCI stay above the 0 line, we can infer there really isn't any reason for them to move out of their range. The 50-period CCI will sometimes venture over the 0-line, before the hefty battlers. However, the 14-period will often venture (quickly) way out into the yonder, and he will always return to tell his pals what he's found. Crossing back over the 100-line, traders can take 'rocket trend reentry' positions (usually on the median); however, we still want to keep an eye on the flighty 14-period CCI character. If he crosses back over the +100 or -100 level he was just scouting, it means the larger weighted CCI lines could soon to follow too, as the whole bunch runs from larger momentum on the way.
Traders seeking to take a position 'with the trend' can attempt to purchase pullbacks on the mean if:
Longer-term CCI (at least the 200 and 100) are above zero.
The 50-period CCI is not below -100.
The 14-period travels back up from underneath the -100 area.
Rsi Stops - JDThis simple indicator gives you a bias on the market that can be used as a filter, an entry indicator for pullbacks,...
It shows the special relationship I discovered between the rsi and the 27 period ema
and the relation between the 40/60 levels of the rsi and the atr offset of the 27 ema line

ORB 15 Min By EquityDurai#Let the index/stock trade for the first fifteen minutes and then use the high and low of this "fifteen minute range" as support and resistance levels.
#A buy signal is given when price exceeds the high of the 15 minute range after an up gap.
#A sell signal is given when price moves below the low of the 15 minute range after a down gap.
#It's a simple technique that works like a charm in many cases.
>If you use this technique, though, a few caveats are in order to avoid whipsaws and other market traps.
>The most common whipsaw is a trading range that lasts longer than 15 minutes.
>If an obvious range builds in 20, 25 or even 30 minutes , use those to define your support and resistance levels.
>Also consider the higher noise level in the morning.
>A breakout that extends only a tick or two can be easily reversed and trap you in a sudden loss.
>So let others take the bait at these levels, while you find pullbacks and narrow range bars for trade execution.
R100 Volatility Combo Bands v1 (*v*)The Volatility Combo Bands are made from 4 separate volatility bands- two Bollinger Bands (10 and 20 period) and two Price Headley Acceleration Bands (10 and 20 period). The Volatility Combo Bands plot the innermost upper and lower points from these bands and then plots a mid-line. By default, only the standard 20 period Bollinger Bands and Combo Bands with mid-line are displayed, but can be configured however you want.
Try it out- see squeezes earlier, ride the bands earlier in trending markets, trade pullbacks to the Combo Bands and mid-line, trade the range of the band or use them to help identify potential support and resistance levels. Hopefully they can add another dimension to identifying volatility contraction patterns or whatever you currently use these things for!
I hope you get some value out of it. Only conditions of use are that if you improve it, let me know and if you publish something that uses it, don't hide the code! Enjoy!
Code for the Price Headley Acceleration Bands pinched and modified from LazyBear - thankyou.
R100 Wave Volume v2 (*v*)This indicator is similar to the Weis Wave Volume indicator in that it shows cumulative volume for each up and down price wave. However it is calculated differently, using the Jurik moving average to determine turning points. Use this in conjunction with the R100 Wave indicator to determine the best fit Jurik length and power settings.
A great indicator to help analyse the strength of pullbacks, continuation moves and changes in behaviour.
I hope you get some value out of it. Only conditions of use are that if you improve it, let me know and if you publish something that uses it, don't hide the code! Enjoy!

VACPWelles Wilder (delta phenomenon) a 4-day rotation indicator
PVAC is the acronym Alan uses for a four-day rotation cycle. The cycle itself is circularly continuous every days of the week, forever, including every holiday. Thus if, for instance, Monday was a P, Tuesday is V, Wednesday is A, Thursday is C. At this point the cycle repeats, with Friday being P, Saturday being V, Sunday being A, and the following Monday being C.
Having started, the cycle never changes. While each day tends to have the characteristics shown below, like all cycle tools, there are inversions, which will last a cycle or at times even more, and have reasonable odds of inverting regularly.
A trader who wants to incorporate a four-day rotation cycle into their work is encouraged to study for themselves whether this adds value.
Day: V-day Color: Red Characteristics: Closes well for bulls; Use your fleece bars Bar8 and Bar11; Bar8 open often a V-day return target; 'V' return comes early in day in bear moves, late in day in bullish moves
Day: A-day Color: Blue Characteristics: Closes poorly for bulls; Use your fleece bars 8 and 11; Generally 'A' shaped, but may have a kick-leg after 3pm
Day: C-day Color: Orange Characteristics: Consolidation day, aka 'consoly' day. It may not chop, but it may have an
accumulation or distribution quality to the action; Trade often and trade fast; Pattern traders fade 4HHs and 4LLs with backfill/pullbacks 3 bars later; Apexes and angulars tend to have less importance; Numerical traders trade after Bar8 open and use support one horizontal below, resistance one horizontal above; C-day opens often at the 25%; The afternoon action tends to be opposite to the morning action
Day: P-day Color: Green Characteristics: Often a trend day. Find the trend and enter it; Often opens at the 75%; Trade P-days against a quartile; Watch for price to be above/below the first apex: buy above or sell below ; Do not fade dead zone, minimal trading
Ichimoku 2 sets of settings, markers and alertsThis is my take on the masterful, beautiful and powerful Ichimoku.
It comes with:
- 2 sets of settings you can flip between,
- 5 types of markers:
--- Tenkan/Kijun crosses,
--- Price (close)/Tenkan crosses, with the option of only showing those occurring with the trend, so on pullbacks,
--- Price (close) exits out of the Kumo,
--- Chikou exits out of the Kumo,
--- Overbought/Oversold conditions (shown on the chart).
- Choice of showing only long or short markers,
- Coloring of bars using OB/OS conditions,
- Alerts on all markers and on combinations.
The markers are intended as indications—not bulletproof buy/sell signals.
The overbought/oversold conditions are detected when the high/low is a multiple of ATR away from Kijun. The ATR length and multiple used are configurable.
I normally use the Josh Olszewicz (CarpeNoctom) big settings, so those are the default.
I prefer subtle coloring on charts and my choice of colors reflects that.
You will see references to KumoA and KumoB in the names of inputs and style elements. For me, KumoA is the top of the Kumo when it is bullish, so the bottom when bearish.
As usual when creating alerts, be sure you already have defined proper inputs and that you are on the intended interval, as they will be used when triggering alerts.
Dip BuyerInspired by reddit user u/dvdrummer360
Buy pullbacks when the RSI (blue line) dips below then climbs above 30, but ONLY IF the SMA100 is above 0 (histogram is green)
Moving Average RibbonA ribbon that uses a fast EMA, a slow EMA, and a signal EMA. By default the signal EMA is invisible.
When the fast EMA > slow EMA the default fill is green, and then red when the fast EMA < slow EMA. The signal EMA adds a 2nd flavor to the ribbon. When the fast EMA > slow EMA, if the signal is beneath the fast EMA, the ribbon fill changes its color to a brighter green. When the fast EMA < slow EMA, if the signal is above the fast EMA, the ribbon fill changes its color to a brighter red. Many times these little "fishhook" pullbacks are buying/shorting opportunities in the dominate trend.
Try settings of 8/21/8 Fast/Slow/Signal, with the "Zero-Lag Signal" check box checked. Zero-Lag is a simple algorithm that tries to remove as much lag as possible from an EMA. An 8 EMA will run "slower" than an 8 Zero-Lag EMA.
Additionally, 2 simple alerts are available for whenever the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, and the opposite.
Cheers.
RSI+ Overbought/Sold IndicatorThis is a very simple script that plots signals on the chart whenever the RSI crosses the given threshold. Nothing fancy, but it is useful for deciding when to exit trades or prepare for pullbacks or for confirming that the market is currently in the middle of an extremely impulsive move or trend. It has alert functionality and you can set the overbought/sold thresholds and RSI length in the options menu.
Note: I definitely wouldn't recommend using it to enter trades unless you're an experienced counter-trend trader :)

Ribbon Scalp Strategy
TF: 5-15 mins
When to enter long:
Wait for whole ribbon to turn green then enter long
Once in the trade watch the outer 3 lines. If they start to spread away from the others, that’s a sign that a pullback is coming so ether exit or move your stop into profit to protect it
When a pullback happens, watch the yellow band for a bounce. If it bounces off, stay in trade. Cross below, could be reversal sign so get out. When moving stops throughout the trade, use the yellow band as a guide to know where to move stop too, placing it just below the line.
There are two yellow MAs. When you start your session, look left to see which one has been acting as support for the past few hours and go with that one.
As long as it stays above the yellow, you can stay in the trade. Again exit, when outer bands start to widen.
Short - everything above in reverse.
What not to do:
Do not try to pick a reversal early when you start to see one or two bands turn red - this does not mean a reversal is coming! It could just be a pullback before continuing long.
NQ Scalp EMA Reclaim EMA Momentum Pullback Indicator
What it does (typical EMA method used for momentum trading):
Trend filter: Fast EMA above Slow EMA = bullish bias; below = bearish bias
Entry: In bullish bias, wait for a pullback to the EMA “zone”, then a reclaim candle → BUY
In bearish bias, pullback into zone then rejection → SELL
Optional 200 EMA filter (only take longs above 200, shorts below 200)

3. **The Zone:** Price touches the **Green Demand Zone** OR the **Orange Golden Pocket**.
4. **The Trigger:** A **Green FVG Box** appears on the 5-minute chart.
5. **Execution:** Enter Long. Stop Loss below the recent low. Take Profit at the next Red Zone.
#### 🔻 HOW TO ENTER A SHORT (SELL) POSITION
1. **Trend Check:** Price is trading **BELOW** the VWAP (Blue Line) and EMA 9 (Yellow Line).
2. **The Wait:** Wait for the price to rally up (pullback).
3. **The Zone:** Price touches the **Red Supply Zone** OR the **Orange Golden Pocket**.

### 5. DAILY ROUTINE (Checklist)
1. **Open TradingView:** Switch to the **15m Chart**.
2. **Check Context:** Where are we? Are we near a big Red Box (Supply) or Green Box (Demand)?
3. **Check Trend:** Is price above or below the Blue VWAP line?
4. **Wait for the Open:** Let the first hour of New York pass (to form the Yellow IB Box).
5. **Set Alerts:** Right-click the chart and set alerts for "IB Breakout" or "Golden Pocket".
6. **Execute:** Switch to the **5m Chart** to find your entry trigger (FVG).
---
### 6. RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
* **Stop Loss:** NEVER trade without one. Place it just outside the FVG box or the Zone.
* **Risk per Trade:** 1% to 2% of your account maximum.
* **No Trade Zone:** If the price is "chopping" (moving sideways) inside the Yellow IB Box, **do not trade**. Wait for a breakout.
FX Master Confluence v41 (Smart TDI Filter)How to read your new Dashboard:
Top Row (The Boss): This is your 8-Hour WaveTrend status.
DARK GREEN: Strong Bull (Bias is Up & Above Zero). Aggressively look for buys.
LIGHT GREEN: Weak Bull (Bias is Up but Below Zero). Be cautious, could be a deep pullback.
DARK RED: Strong Bear (Bias is Down & Below Zero). Aggressively look for sells.
LTF Rows (15m - 6h):
"GOLDEN ZERO": This is the Holy Grail signal you asked for. The LTF WaveTrend just crossed the Zero line in agreement with the 8H Boss.
"REV SETUP": Standard reversal signal (useful, but lower confidence than Golden).
"TREND UP/DOWN": No signal right now, but tells you the flow of that specific timeframe.

Price % Distance from 52 Weeks High, and EMAs"Stop guessing how far extended the price is—measure it instantly."
As a swing trader, knowing the exact distance between the current price and your key moving averages is critical. It tells you if a stock is overextended (too far) or offering a low-risk pullback entry (near 0%).
This lightweight utility script calculates the real-time percentage distance of the closing price from three critical levels:
10 EMA (Short-term momentum)
20 EMA (Swing trend baseline)
52-Week High (Major structural resistance)
It displays this data in a single, clean Smart Label attached to the latest candle, keeping your chart clutter-free.
Key Features
📊 Instant Calculation: See exactly how far (%) the price is from the 10 EMA, 20 EMA, and 52-Week High without using a measuring tool.
🧠 Intelligent Trend Coloring: The text color changes dynamically based on the immediate trend:
🟢 Green Text: Price is ABOVE both 10 & 20 EMAs (Bullish / Buy-the-dip zone).
🔴 Red Text: Price is BELOW both 10 & 20 EMAs (Bearish / Caution).
⚪ White Text: Price is mixed/choppy (between the EMAs).
👁️ High Contrast Design: Uses a semi-transparent dark background that ensures the data is clearly visible on both Light and Dark mode charts.
How to Use for Swing Trading
Pullback Entries: In a strong uptrend (Green Text), watch for the 10 EMA or 20 EMA % value to drop near 0.0% to 0.5%. This indicates a pullback to the average—often a high-probability entry point.
Overextension Warning: If the % distance becomes unusually large (e.g., Price is +5% above the 10 EMA), the move may be overextended, signaling to tighten stops or take profit.
52-Week Breakouts: Monitor the 52W % distance. As it approaches 0.0%, the stock is challenging its yearly high, alerting you to potential breakout plays.
Settings
EMA Lengths: Fully customizable (Default: 10 & 20).
Lookback: Adjust the high lookback period (Default: 260 bars for 52 Weeks).
Position: Toggle the label to appear Above or Below the candle.
