Angle of Bollinger Bands AlertThis script is used to calculate angle of Bollinger Bands and also setup alerts.
The angle is based on the rules:
- if the previous 2 is 1.1, previous 1 is 1, and the current is 1.1, then the angle should be 90 degrees.
- if the previous 2 is 0.9, previous 1 is 1, and the current is 0.9, then the angle should be 270 degrees
If upper angle is below 90 degrees and close is above the average, it is long signal.
If lower angle is above 270 degrees and close is below the average, it is short signal.
- It is good for catch trend trading.
- Not good for swing trading as the BB changes are very tiny but angles for upper may hit below 90 degrees or angle of lower may be above 270 degrees.

Fat Side PathI got the idea for a narrow Donchian Channel with a short lookback period which closely follows the price fluctuation in which the sides of the channel have a thickness according to the range of the last touching candle.
Any channel, be it Donchian, Keltner, Bollinger Bands or Parallel, has an upside and a downside, touching the upside is a buy signal as this may initiate an uptrend, the downside a sell signal because a down trend may come.
This gave me the idea to make only the last touched side fat, thus creating visible switching between uptrend and downtrend. However this is ‘too digital’, as in practice also periods of no trend occur in which signaling a trend would give a false signal. In a Donchian channel (and also Bollinger Bands) such periods are marked by narrowing the channel. So I gave a no trend signal to the sides when the channel is narrower than a minimum width to call a trend. I gave the thing nice colours and proper default settings.
Use of the channel in trading.
I think this thing can be useful for swing trading. In channels two typical things may happen that should be noted by the trader, these are LB, Leaving the Border, which signals a trend reversal and FTT, Failure To Traverse, i.e. the price doesn’t manage to cross the channel to the other side. This affirms the trend. FTT’s are not expected in short lookback channels like this path (Sidenote: Fibonacci levels can be regarded as predictions where FTT’s may occur). The fat side indicates direction. Because somehow trends seem to end with a notable range extension, this channel sometimes produces a “Big Blob” where the trend reverses.
I intend to use this thing together with my Keltner Fibzones channel, where the zones serve as a ‘landscape’ in which the Fat Side Path meanders providing ‘comments’ on the short term price movements.
CCI Breakout TraderWorks well on Bitcoin or most altcoins on a 15min chart or higher.
What is this exactly?
This is an indicator that uses horizontal RSI + EMA lines with a CCI line on top of it to provide optimal entry and exit positions for trading. There is also a breakout indicator based on the width of Bollinger Bands.
How to use:
If the blue stream passes upwards on the red heading to the white - it's heading towards a good BUY signal. To be safe you wait until it passes above the white line, then BUY LONG. Another signal to buy long is when the blue stream passes above the white and green lines.
Selling is essentially the opposite, if the blue stream is passing down from the green or white lines, then it's time to sell and exit your trade.
If you need help knowing when to enter and exit a trade the indicator will draw a grey candle on your chart to signal it's time to exit a long trade and it will draw a purple candle when it's time to enter a long.
--
Breakout alert:
If you see a green vertical bar it's a warning that there is a potential breakout in price coming for whichever coin you are looking at. The price breakout could go either direction, so make sure you watch the blue stream.
--
Important tips:
The direction of the green/white/red lines are important - if they are heading down that means it might not be the best time to enter your trade, even if the blue stream crosses up on the red and/or white lines.
The colored horizontal lines are there to let you know if the blue stream is near the bottom of those lines (anywhere from hline 15 to 50) and heading upwards, you will more likely have a longer positive trade. If the blue stream is above 60 hline and it looks like a good trade (passing up on the red and white lines), expect to have a shorter trade.
I use this for swing trading various crypto currencies, once you learn how to read it, you can catch amazing uptrends really early and you can exit trades before some big drops happen.
Ripster EMA CloudsEMA Cloud By Ripster
EMA Cloud System is a Trading System Invented by Ripster where areas are shaded between two desired EMAs. The concept implies the EMA cloud area serves as support or resistance for Intraday & Swing Trading. This can be utilized effectively on 10 Min for day trading and 1Hr/Daily for Swings. Ripster himself utilizes various combinations of the 5-12, 34-50, 8-9, 20-21 EMA clouds but the possibilities are endless to find what works best for you.
“Ideally, 5-12 or 5-13 EMA cloud acts as a fluid trendline for day trades. 8-9 EMA Clouds can be used as pullback Levels –(optional). Additionally, a high level price over or under 34-50 EMA clouds confirms either bullish or bearish bias on the price action for any timeframe” – Ripster
Medium Term Weighted Stochastic (STPMT) by DGTLa Stochastique Pondérée Moyen Terme (STPMT) , or Mᴇᴅɪᴜᴍ Tᴇʀᴍ Wᴇɪɢʜᴛᴇᴅ Sᴛᴏᴄʜᴀꜱᴛɪᴄꜱ created by Eric Lefort in 1999, a French trader and author of trading books
█ The STPMT indicator is a tool which concerns itself with both the direction and the timing of the market. The STPMT indicator helps the trader with:
The general trend by observing the level around which the indicator oscillates
The changes of direction in the market
The timing to open or close a position by observing the oscillations and by observing the relative position of the STPMT versus its moving average
STPMT Calculation
stpmt = (4,1 * stoch(5, 3) + 2,5 * stoch(14, 3) + stoch(45, 14) + 4 * stoch(75, 20)) / 11.6
Where the first argument of the stoch function representation above is period (length) of K and second argument smoothing period of K. The result series is then plotted as red line and its moving average as blue line. By default disabled gray lines are the components of the STPMT
The oscillations of the STPMT around its moving average define the timing to open a position as crossing of STMP line and moving average line in case when both trends have same direction. The moving average determines the direction.
Long examples
█ Tʜᴇ CYCLE Iɴᴅɪᴄᴀᴛᴏʀ is derived from the STPMT. It is
cycle = stpmt – stpmt moving average
It is indicates more clearly all buy and sell opportunities. On the other hand it does not give any information on market direction. The Cycle indicator is a great help in timing as it allows the trader to more easily see the median length of an oscillation around the average point. In this way the traders can simply use the time axis to identify both a favorable price and a favorable moment. The Cycle Indicator is presented as histogram
The Lefort indicators are not a trading strategy. They are tools for different purposes which can be combined and which can serve for trading all instruments (stocks, market indices, forex, commodities…) in a variety of time frames. Hence they can be used for both day trading and swing trading.
👉 For whom that would like simple version of the Cycle indicator on top of the main price chart with signals as presented below.
Please note that in the following code STMP moving average direction is not considered and will plot signals regardless of the direction of STMP moving average. It is not a non-repainting version too.

Swing Reversal IndicatorSwing Reversal Indicator was meant to help identify pivot points on the chart which indicate momentum to buy and sell. The indicator uses 3 main questions to help plot the points:
Criteria
Did price take out yesterday's high or low?
Is today's range bigger than yesterday? (Indicates activity in price)
Is the close in the upper/lower portion of the candle? Thus, indicating momentum in that direction
This indicator was built to help me find pivot points for directional options trading however can be used for equities and forex swing trading and other strategies. Used in conjunction with a BB extreme can provide good setups.
Alerts are available for both the long and the short positions and the indicator will repaint as price moves.
The character Plotted can be changed in the settings
The size of the candle area can be changed as well if you want to tighten/loosen the trigger points based on the third question above.
Parabolic SAR Swing strategy GBP JPY Daily timeframeToday I bring you a new strategy thats made of parabolic sar. It has optmized values for GBPJPY Daily timeframe chart.
It also has a time period selection, in order to see how it behave between selected years.
The strategy behind it is simple :
We have an uptrend , (the psar is below our candles) we go long. We exit when our candle crosses the psar value.
The same applies for downtrend(the psar is above our candles), where we go short. We exit when our candle cross the psar value.
Among the basic indicators, it looks like PSAR is one of the best canditates for swing trading.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Ultimate VWAP Bands- Ultimate VWAP Bands is a script that helps to decide and further clarify areas of oversold and overbought conditions.
- For example, when the price is in the lowest band it is extremely oversold relative to the VWAP . Hence it should be considered a good place to buy with a high risk to reward payoff.
- Each band is set at a fixed offset away from the VWAP . The "VWAP Band Multiplier" adjusts this and is a key part of the script. This allows the indicator to be adjusted based on the assets volatility . For example, with Crypto. A multiplier of 1 would be strongly advised. Whilst a multiplier of 0.1-0.25 would be useful for currency pairs.
- This indicator can be used for all manners of trading. However, it is most effective when used for scalping and swing trading.
L1 Mid-Term Swing Oscillator v1Level: 1
Background
Oscillators are widely used set of technical analysis indicators. They are popular primarily for their ability to alert of a possible trend change before that change manifests itself in price and volume . They should work best in times of sideways markets.
Function
L1 Short-Mid-Long-Term Swing Oscillator puts three terms of oscillators to cover short-term, middle-term and long-term oscillators at the same time. By resonating all these three oscillators, short-term scalping signal and middle term swing signal are disclosed. You can see both short and mid term signal under one indicator which give you more confidence to follow the trend.
Key Signal
I didn't handle the key signals well. I piled up all the useful signals I found, and it is really difficult to classify them one by one. I feel tired when I think about this problem. Therefore, the code of the overall signal is rather confusing, sorry.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
1. Three oscillators are used to cover short, mid, long term oscillations.
2. Short-Mid term resonance can be observed to have higher confidence level.
3. Use single indicator for scalping and swing trading is possible.
Cons:
1. No deep dive into very accurate long and short entries.
2. A trade off between sensitivity and stability may be needed by traders' subjective judge.
Remarks
I enjoyed the fun of put three different oscillator together to cover short, mid, long terms. But how to use them perfectly is really more brainstorming.
Readme
In real life, I am a prolific inventor. I have successfully applied for more than 60 international and regional patents in the past 12 years. But in the past two years or so, I have tried to transfer my creativity to the development of trading strategies. Tradingview is the ideal platform for me. I am selecting and contributing some of the hundreds of scripts to publish in Tradingview community. Welcome everyone to interact with me to discuss these interesting pine scripts.
The scripts posted are categorized into 5 levels according to my efforts or manhours put into these works.
Level 1 : interesting script snippets or distinctive improvement from classic indicators or strategy. Level 1 scripts can usually appear in more complex indicators as a function module or element.
Level 2 : composite indicator/strategy. By selecting or combining several independent or dependent functions or sub indicators in proper way, the composite script exhibits a resonance phenomenon which can filter out noise or fake trading signal to enhance trading confidence level.
Level 3 : comprehensive indicator/strategy. They are simple trading systems based on my strategies. They are commonly containing several or all of entry signal, close signal, stop loss, take profit, re-entry, risk management, and position sizing techniques. Even some interesting fundamental and mass psychological aspects are incorporated.
Level 4 : script snippets or functions that do not disclose source code. Interesting element that can reveal market laws and work as raw material for indicators and strategies. If you find Level 1~2 scripts are helpful, Level 4 is a private version that took me far more efforts to develop.
Level 5 : indicator/strategy that do not disclose source code. private version of Level 3 script with my accumulated script processing skills or a large number of custom functions. I had a private function library built in past two years. Level 5 scripts use many of them to achieve private trading strategy.
Why is it ok to backtest on TradingView from now on!TradingView backtester has bad reputation. For a good reason - it was producing wrong results, and it was clear at first sight how bad they were.
But this has changed. Along with many other improvements in its PineScript coding capabilities, TradingView fixed important bug, which was the main reason for miscalculations. TradingView didn't really speak out about this fix, so let me try :)
Have a look at this short code of a swing trading strategy (PLEASE DON'T FOCUS ON BACKTEST RESULTS ATTACHED HERE - THEY DO NOT MATTER). Sometimes entry condition happens together with closing condition for the already ongoing trade. Example: the condition to close Long entry is the same as a condition to enter Short. And when these two aligned, not only a Long was closed and Short was entered (as intended), but also a second Short was entered, too!!! What's even worse, that second short was not controlled with closing conditions inside strategy.exit() function and it very often lead to losses exceeding whatever was declared in "loss=" parameter. This could not have worked well...
But HOORAY!!! - it has been fixed and won't happen anymore. So together with other improvements - TradingView's backtester and PineScript is now ok to work with on standard candlesticks :)
Yep, no need to code strategies and backtest them on other platforms anymore.
----------------
Having said the above, there are still some pitfalls remaining, which you need to be aware of and avoid:
Don't backtest on HeikenAshi, Renko, Kagi candlesticks. They were not invented with backtesting in mind. There are still using wrong price levels for entries and therefore producing always too good backtesting results. Only standard candlesticks are reliable to backtest on.
Don't use Trailing Stop in your code. TradingView operates only on closed candlesticks, not on tick data and because of that, backtester will always assume price has first reached its favourable extreme (so 'high' when you are in Long trade and 'low' when you are in Short trade) before it starts to pull back. Which is rarely the truth in reality. Therefore strategies using Trailing Stop are also producing too good backtesting results. It is especially well visible on higher timeframe strategies - for some reason your strategy manages to make gains on those huge, fat candlesticks :) But that's not reality.
"when=" inside strategy.exit() does not work as you would intuitively expect. If you want to have logical condition to close your trade (for example - crossover(rsi(close,14),20)) you need to place it inside strategy.close() function. And leave StopLoss + TakeProfit conditions inside strategy.exit() function. Just as in attached code.
If you're working with pyramiding, add "process_orders_on_close=ANY" to your strategy() script header. Default setting ("=FIFO") will first close the trade, which was opened first, not the one which was hit by Stop-Loss condidtion.
----------------
That's it, I guess :) If you are noticing other issues with backtester and would like to share, let everyone know in comments. If the issue is indeed a bug, there is a chance TradingView dev team will hear your voice and take it into account when working on other improvements. Just like they heard about the bug I described above.
P.S. I know for a fact that more improvements in the backtesting area are coming. Some will change the game even for non-coding traders. If you want to be notified quickly and with my comment - gimme "follow".
Investing - Weekly EMA's mapped to Daily ChartWhen there isn't enough time in your day to day-trade, yet you want to utilise all the technical analysis skills you have... why not make a long term investing or swing trading indicator set to help you along the way!
So I did....
When it comes to long term investing and swing trading, I often find the weekly 12/26/52 EMA's do a great job in capturing the main market swings from bull to bear.
However, I like to use the Daily chart to see the candle patterns and shapes with more detail and divergences often show up better on the daily chart.
So I have decided to combine the two!
I have basically taken the EMA 12/26/52 from the weekly and transferred them over to the daily (mathematically they are not exact, but for me they are close enough).
I have also developed a simple scale in / scale out strategy for using these exponential moving averages. It isn't as simple as buying in on each signal, however I use my own special strategy to take advantage of the alerts.
Enjoy!
Complete Trend Trading System [Fhenry0331]This system was designed for the beginner trader to make money swing trading. Your losses will be small and your gains will be mostly large. You will show consistent profit. Period.
The system works on any security you like to trade. I used GBPUSD as an example because of the up swing and down swing it had recently. I tried to put as much information of how the system works in the chart. Hope it helps and is not to cluttered.
I will reiterate how the system works here: Everything is based off of closed price.
Legend
Uptrend: Buy
Green bar: initial start of an uptrend or uptrend continuing. Place order above that bar. If the initial bar does not stray too far from the MVWAP , I will place orders above subsequent bars if no filled occurred.
If initial start of the trend is missed, I will wait for the pullback. A pullback is a close below the MVWAP, and a close above the EMA (Low), RSI is above 50. Orders are placed above the pullback bars with plotted char "B" and also plotted green triangle up. Again orders are placed above those bars. the bars do not notate automatic buys. Don't chase anything. You will miss the initial bar on something because of news or earnings and it rocket up. Just wait, it will pullback. If it doesn't, to hell with it, on to the next.
Take profits: In the indicator you will see "T." That notates to take some profits. It is a suggestion. I was always told to take profits into spikes, as well as you can never lose money if you take profits. Up to you if you want to scale out and take the suggested profits or not.
Exit Completely: In an uptrend, close your entire position on bars colored yellow or red. (Again, closed bars)
In uptrend bars colored orange and black, do nothing, they are just pullback bars. Look for the buy pullback signal, then follow pullback buy rules for an uptrend.
Downtrend: Short
Red bar: initial start of a downtrend or downtrend continuing. Place order below the bar. If the initial bar does not stray too far fro the MVWAP, place orders below subsequent bars.
If initial start on the downtrend is missed, wait for the pullback. A pullback is a close above the MVWAP, and close below the EMA(Low). RSI is below 50. Orders are placed below the pullback bars with the plotted char "S" and also plotted red triangle. Again those bars are not automatic shorts, orders are placed below them. Don't chase anything. Wait for price to come into your plan. The idea FOMO is the stupidest thing ever, how can you miss out on something when it is always there. The market is always there and something will come into your zone. Chill.
"T": same as in uptrend, suggestion to take some profits.
Exit Completely: In a downtrend, close your entire position on bars colored orange or green.
In downtrend you will see bars colored yellow and black, do nothing, they are pullback bars. Look for the pullback short signal and follow pullback short rules.
If you have any questions get at me. Take a look at it on what you trade. Flip it through different securities.
Best of luck in all you do.
P.S. You should not take a trade right before earnings. You should also exit a trade right before earnings.

Big Snapper Alerts R2.0 by JustUncleLThis is a diversified Binary Option or Scalping Alert indicator originally designed for lower Time Frame Trend or Swing trading. Although you will find it a useful tool for higher time frames as well.
The Alerts are generated by the changing direction of the ColouredMA (HullMA by default), you then have the choice of selecting the Directional filtering on these signals or a Bollinger swing reversal filter.
The filters include:
Type 1 - The three MAs (EMAs 21,55,89 by default) in various combinations or by themselves. When only one directional MA selected then direction filter is given by ColouredMA above(up)/below(down) selected MA. If more than one MA selected the direction is given by MAs being in correct order for trend direction.
Type 2 - The SuperTrend direction is used to filter ColouredMA signals.
Type 3 - Bollinger Band Outside In is used to filter ColouredMA for swing reversals.
Type 4 - No directional filtering, all signals from the ColouredMA are shown.
Notes:
Each Type can be combined with another type to form more complex filtration.
Alerts can also be disabled completely if you just want one indicator with one colouredMA and/or 3xMAs and/or Bollinger Bands and/or SuperTrend painted on the chart.
Warning:
Be aware that combining Bollinger OutsideIn swing filter and a directional filter can be counter productive as they are opposites. So careful consideration is needed when combining Bollinger OutsideIn with any of the directional filters.
Hints:
For Binary Options try ColouredMA = HullMA(13) or HullMA(8) with Type 2 or 3 Filter.
When using Trend filters SuperTrend and/or 3xMA Trend, you will find if price reverses and breaks back through the Big Fat Signal line, then this can be a good reversal trade.
Some explanation about the what Hull Moving average and ideas of how the generated in Big Snapper can be used:

Inspiration from @vdubus
Big Snapper's Bollinger OutsideIn Swing filter in Action:
Colored Volume Bars [LazyBear]Edgar Kraut proposed this simple colored volume bars strategy for swing trading.
This is how the colors are determined:
- If today’s closing price and volume are greater than 'n' days ago, color today’s volume bar green.
- If today’s closing price is greater than 'n' days ago but volume is not, color today’s volume bar blue.
- Similarly, if today’s closing price and volume is less than 'n' days ago, color today’s volume bar orange.
- If today’s closing price is less than 'n' days ago but volume is not, color today’s volume bar red.
Buy the green or blue volume bars, use a 1% trailing stop, and stand aside on red or orange bars.
As you see, this is more for entry confirmation. I have not tested this on any instrument.
You may have to tune the lookback period for your instrument. Default is 10.

RCT FUSION PRO CMRCT FUSION PRO - Trading Strategy Description
Complete Trading System for Rafael Cepeda Trader's Community
STRATEGY CONCEPTUAL BASIS
Rafael Cepeda Trader's strategy is based on the synergistic combination of multiple indicators to identify optimal market entry and exit moments. It's a multitimeframe and multifactorial methodology that seeks convergent confirmations.
MAIN STRATEGY COMPONENTS
1. SQUEEZE MOMENTUM (Strategy Core)
Purpose: Detect market compression periods that precede explosive movements.
Key Signals:
Squeeze ON (Compression): Market consolidating, preparing for significant movement
Squeeze OFF (Expansion): Market begins directional movement
Histogram Colors:
Green/Lime: Bullish momentum
Red: Bearish momentum
Blue: Neutral market, no active squeeze
2. ADX + DM+ / DM- (Trend Confirmation)
Purpose: Measure trend strength and direction.
Interpretation:
ADX > 23: Strong trend (adjustable key level)
DM+ > DM-: Confirmed bullish trend
DM- > DM+: Confirmed bearish trend
ADX below 23: Range-bound market or weak trend
3. TTM WAVES A, B, C (Multitimeframe Analysis)
Purpose: Identify market structure across different timeframes.
Waves and Meaning:
Wave A (55 periods): Medium-term trend
Wave B (144 periods): Long-term trend
Wave C (233 periods): Primary or "macro" trend
SIGNAL AND CONFIRMATION SYSTEM
BUY SIGNAL (BULLISH SETUP)
Squeeze: Must be in expansion process (recent Squeeze OFF)
Momentum: Squeeze histogram in green/lime
Trend: ADX > 23 and DM+ > DM-
Confirmation: TTM Waves aligned bullishly (optional)
SELL SIGNAL (BEARISH SETUP)
Squeeze: Recent expansion after compression
Momentum: Squeeze histogram in red
Trend: ADX > 23 and DM- > DM+
Confirmation: TTM Waves showing bearish structure
WAIT OR EXIT SIGNAL
Active Squeeze ON: Market in compression, avoid entries
ADX < 23: Weak trend, higher probability of false breakouts
Frequent DM+ and DM- crosses: Volatile market without clear direction
RISK MANAGEMENT AND MONEY MANAGEMENT
ENTRY POINTS
Enter on the first or second candle after signal confirmation
Look for pullbacks toward moving averages or support/resistance levels
STOP LOSS
Place below recent low (for buys) or above recent high (for sells)
Use ATR (Average True Range) to determine stop distance
TAKE PROFIT
Target 1: 1:1 risk-reward ratio
Target 2: When Squeeze returns to compression
Target 3: When ADX begins weakening (< 23)
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAME SETTINGS
INTRADAY (1-15 minutes)
Squeeze with standard parameters (20, 2.0, 20, 1.5)
ADX at 14 periods
Key Level at 20-23
SWING TRADING (1H-4H-Daily)
Squeeze with longer parameters (20-30 periods)
ADX at 14-20 periods
Key Level at 23-25
STRATEGY ADVANTAGES
✅ Multiple confirmations reduce false signals
✅ Identifies high-probability moments (post-squeeze)
✅ Works across multiple timeframes and markets
✅ Combines momentum and trend in one system
✅ Visually clear signals for quick decision making
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
⚠️ Requires practice to master combined interpretation
⚠️ Not a 100% winning system (none exists)
⚠️ Risk management is fundamental
⚠️ Recommended paper trading before using real capital
⚠️ Adapt parameters to each market and timeframe
RAFAEL CEPEDA TRADER'S PHILOSOPHY
The essence of this strategy is "trading less, but better". It focuses on quality over quantity, waiting for the highest probability setups where multiple indicators converge. Patience and discipline are the fundamental pillars.

Institutional Levels (CNN) - [PhenLabs]📊Institutional Levels (Convolutional Neural Network-inspired)
Version : PineScript™v6

Gap Zones Pro - Price Action Confluence Indicator with Alerts█ OVERVIEW
Gap Zones Pro identifies and tracks price gaps - crucial areas where institutional interest and market imbalance create high-probability reaction zones. These gaps represent areas of strong initial buying/selling pressure that often act as magnets when price returns.
█ WHY GAPS MATTER IN TRADING
- Gaps reveal institutional footprints and areas of market imbalance
- When price returns to a gap, it often reaffirms the original directional bias
- Failed gap reactions can signal powerful reversals in the opposite direction
- Gaps provide excellent confluence when aligned with your trading narrative
- They act as natural support/resistance zones with clear risk/reward levels
█ KEY FEATURES
- Automatically detects and visualizes all gap zones on your chart
- Extends gaps to the right edge for easy monitoring
- Customizable number of gaps displayed (manage chart clarity)
- Minimum gap size filter to focus on significant gaps only
- Real-time alerts when price enters gap zones
- Color-coded visualization (green for gap ups, red for gap downs)
- Clean, professional appearance with adjustable transparency
█ HOW TO USE
1. Add to chart and adjust maximum gaps displayed based on your timeframe
2. Set minimum gap size % to filter out noise (0.5-1% recommended for stocks)
3. Watch for price approaching gap zones for potential reactions
4. Use gaps as confluence with other technical factors:
- Support/resistance levels
- Fibonacci retracements
- Supply/demand zones
- Trend lines and channels
5. Set alerts to notify you when price enters key gap zones
█ TRADING TIPS
- Gaps with strong contextual stories (earnings, news, breakouts) are most reliable
- Multiple gaps in the same area create stronger zones
- Unfilled gaps above price can act as resistance targets
- Unfilled gaps below price can act as support targets
- Watch for "gap and go" vs "gap fill" scenarios based on market context
█ SETTINGS
- Maximum Number of Gaps: Control how many historical gaps to display
- Minimum Gap Size %: Filter out insignificant gaps
- Colors: Customize gap up and gap down zone colors
- Transparency: Adjust visibility while maintaining chart readability
- Show Borders: Toggle gap zone borders on/off
- Alerts: Automatic notifications when price crosses gap boundaries
█ BEST TIMEFRAMES
Works on all timeframes but most effective on:
- Daily charts for swing trading
- 4H for intraday position trading
- 1H for day trading key levels
- Weekly for long-term investing
Remember: Gaps are most powerful when they align with your overall market thesis and other technical confluences. They should confirm your narrative, not define it.

Price Persistence ScreenerPrice Persistence Screener
Pine Script v6 | Inspired by @pradeepbonde on X
This indicator, inspired by the insights of @pradeepbonde , is designed to identify stocks with high price persistence—stocks that consistently close higher than the previous day's close over various lookback periods. As described by Pradeep Bonde, stocks with high persistence are strong candidates for trading pullbacks or consolidations, as they often resume their upward trend due to aggressive buying and low selling pressure. This tool helps traders screen for such stocks and visualize their persistence across multiple timeframes.
Features:
Measures price persistence by counting bars where the closing price exceeds the previous bar’s close for fixed periods: 499, 252, 126, 60, 40, 20, 15, 10, and 5 bars.
Includes a customizable lookback period (1 to 499 bars) for flexible analysis.
Allows users to set a custom persistence threshold (0% to 100%) to highlight strong bullish trends.
How It Works:
For each lookback period, the indicator calculates how many times the closing price is higher than the previous bar’s close.
A higher count indicates stronger bullish persistence, signaling stocks with sustained upward momentum.
Usage:
This screener is aimed to be used on pine screener to see data in columns. Add this indicator to you favorites and in pine screener scan on your watchlist of up to 1000 stocks
Adjust the custom lookback period and threshold via input settings.
Sort columns to compare persistence across timeframes and identify stocks with high persistence for swing trading or long-term holding.
Settings:
Custom Lookback Period (Bars): Set the number of bars for the custom persistence calculation (default: 100).
Custom Persistence Threshold (%): Define the percentage threshold for highlighting high persistence in the custom period (default: 70%).
Credits:
This indicator is based on the price persistence concept shared by @pradeepbonde
in his YouTube video (www.youtube.com). He explains that stocks with high persistence—those consistently closing higher day after day—are strong candidates for trading pullbacks, as they tend to resume their upward trend. This screener automates and visualizes that concept, making it easier for traders to identify such stocks.
Note:
Ensure sufficient historical data is available for accurate calculations, especially for longer periods like 499 bars. if stock is less than 499 bars.
High persistence stocks may eventually lose momentum, signaling potential reversals or shorting opportunities, as noted by @pradeepbonde
.
Use this indicator as part of a broader trading strategy to screen strong trends with custom lookback scan, combining it with other technical or fundamental analysis.
