Master Accumulation Weekly Buy SignalsMaster Accumulation Weekly Buy Signals
The Master Accumulation Weekly Buy Signals indicator is designed to help traders identify potential buy opportunities based on the accumulation and distribution of volume, with a primary focus on weekly timeframes. This indicator combines the On Balance Volume (OBV) and the Accumulation/Distribution (AD) indicators to generate buy signals when both metrics show a decline.
Key Features:
Percentage Change Calculation: Calculates the percentage change in OBV and AD over a specified length tailored to weekly timeframes.
Timeframe Adaptability: While optimized for weekly timeframes, the indicator can also adjust to daily and monthly charts.
Volume Validation: Ensures that volume data is available and valid for accurate calculations.
Buy Signals: Generates buy signals when both OBV and AD percentage changes are negative, indicating potential accumulation by informed traders.
Visual Alerts: Plots buy signal triangles below the price bars on the main chart for easy identification.
How It Works:
On Balance Volume (OBV): Tracks the cumulative volume, considering the direction of price changes, and calculates the percentage change over the specified period, primarily for weekly analysis.
Accumulation/Distribution (AD): Measures the flow of volume into or out of a security, considering the relationship between the closing price and the high-low range, and calculates the percentage change over the specified period, primarily for weekly analysis.
Buy Signal Generation: A buy signal is generated when both OBV and AD show a negative percentage change, suggesting a potential buying opportunity.
How to Use:
Apply the indicator to your chart and select the weekly timeframe for optimal performance.
Look for buy signal triangles that appear below the price bars on the main chart.
Use the buy signals as part of your broader trading strategy, confirming them with other technical analysis tools and indicators.
Important Note:
This indicator is a tool to assist in identifying potential buy signals based on volume accumulation patterns. It is primarily designed for weekly timeframes and should not be used as a standalone trading strategy. Always perform comprehensive analysis and consider risk management practices before making any trading decisions.
This description highlights the indicator's primary focus on weekly timeframes while providing comprehensive information about its features and usage.
THIS IS TEST ONLY*******
RD Key Levels (Weekly, Daily, Previous vWAP)The RexDog Key Levels indicator plots the weekly open, daily open, and the previous day vWAP close.
These are all critical price levels (zones) to know when trading any market or instrument. These areas are also high probability reaction areas that you can trade using simple confirmation trading patterns.
First, I'll cover an overview of the indicator then I'll share general usage tips.
Weekly Open - default is white/orange. White is when price is above the weekly open. Orange is when price is below the weekly open.
Weekly High/Low - there are options to turn on the weekly high and lows. Default plot is circles. Green is the high. Red is the low.
Daily Open - default is green/red. Green is when price is above the daily open. Red is when price is below the daily open.
Previous vWAPs - aqua single lines. These are the closing price of the daily vWAPs.
Top Indicators - The triangles at the top of the chart signify is price is currently above or below the weekly open. This is helpful on lower timeframe charts (5m, 15m) to get a quick indication when price is far extended beyond the weekly open. Green triangle = above weekly open. Red triangle = below weekly open.
General Usage
Each one of these levels are important levels markets look use for continuation or failure of momentum and bias. I also find it extremely helpful to think of these levels as magnets, dual magnets. They both attract and repel price at the same time. Now you might say, how is that helpful to have opposing views at the same time? Be indifferent to direction, create your own rules on when these price zones repel or attract price, I have my own.
Here's the easiest way to use these price levels.
As price approaches one of these levels to expect a reaction. A reaction is price is going in one direction and price hits a price level zone and reacts in the opposite direction.
These are price zones, sometimes you will see a reaction right at the price but visualize these areas as zones of reaction.
A high percentage of the time when price approaches these level zones there will be a reaction. So trade the reaction .
How do you do that?
Simple. Trade patterns that repeat. I have 3 solid patterns I trade around these key levels:
The first pattern is early entry with precise scale in rules and a very effective protective stop loss placement.
The second pattern is wait for confirmation that the level holds. This requires more patience and for you to fully trust the chart. The benefit of this pattern is with confirmation you have even more precise stop placement.
There is a bonus third pattern I trade around these levels. I call this the confirmation and bluff entry. It's a combination of both of the patterns above. You wait for confirmation but on any pull back you call the bluff on the market and enter on key test. Trade management here is critical. In addition to the pattern you trade you should have a series of failure patterns that tell you to get out of the trade, I use 2 primary failure patterns.
I trade all markets, same system, same rules, so I'll show a few examples.
Usually I start with Bitcoin but let's start with equities:
BA - Boeing - 8 Trades
Here we see weekly low patterns, previous week low test, vwAP hold patterns, day magnets and day holding. Then 2 week failures and a double hold pattern.
These are all straightforward trades to execute following really simple patterns.
BTCUSD Previous vWAP and Day Open Trades
We see here on the circle areas both daily open and previous day vWAP zone tests. Within this chart are all 3 highly effective patterns I trade.
SPY - 7 High Probability Trades
Here we see a pDay vWAP mixed with a daily failure. Next a daily retest, then a pDay vWAP failure, then a vWAP capture and test. Then a double weekly failure test (great trade there) and finally a daily test.
I could provide more examples but most are just derivatives of the above examples.
Key Levels: Daily, Weekly, Monthly [BackQuant]Key Levels: Daily, Weekly, Monthly
Map the market’s “memory” in one glance—yesterday’s range, this week’s chosen day high/low, and D/W/M opens—then auto-clean levels once they break.
What it does
This tool plots three families of high-signal reference lines and keeps them tidy as price evolves:
Chosen Day High/Low (per week) — Pick a weekday (e.g., Monday). For each past week, the script records that day’s session high and low and projects them forward for a configurable number of bars. These act like “memory levels” that price often revisits.
Daily / Weekly / Monthly Opens — Plots the opening price of each new day, week, and month with separate styling. These opens frequently behave like magnets/flip lines intraday and anchors for regime on higher timeframes.
Auto-pruning — When price breaks a stored level, the script can automatically remove it to reduce clutter and refocus you on still-active lines. See: (broken levels removed).
Why these levels matter
Liquidity pockets — Prior day’s high/low and the daily open concentrate stops and pending orders. Mapping them quickly reveals likely sweep or fade zones. Example: previous day highs + daily open highlighting liquidity:
Context & regime — Monthly opens frame macro bias; trading above a rising cluster of monthly opens vs. below gives a clean top-down read. Example: monthly-only “macro outlook” view:
Cleaner charts — Auto-remove broken lines so you focus on what still matters right now.
What it plots (at a glance)
Past Chosen Day High/Low for up to N prior weeks (your choice), extended right.
Current Daily Open , Weekly Open , and Monthly Open , each with its own color, label, and forward extension.
Optional short labels (e.g., “Mon High”) or full labels (with week/month info).
How breaks are detected & cleaned
You control both the evidence and the timing of a “break”:
Break uses — Choose Close (more conservative) or Wick (more sensitive).
Inclusive? — If enabled, equality counts (≥ high or ≤ low). If disabled, you need a strict cross.
Allow intraday breaks? — If on, a level can break during the tracked day; if off, the script only counts breaks after the session completes.
Remove Broken Levels — When a break is confirmed, the line/label is deleted automatically. (See the demo: )
Quick start
Pick a Day of Week to Track (e.g., Monday).
Set how many weeks back to show (e.g., 8–10).
Choose how far to extend each family (bars to the right for chosen-day H/L and D/W/M opens).
Decide if a break uses Close or Wick , and whether equality counts.
Toggle Remove Broken Levels to keep the chart clean automatically.
Tips by use-case
Intraday bias — Watch the Daily Open as a magnet/flip. If price gaps above and holds, pullbacks to the daily open often decide direction. Pair with last day’s high/low for sweep→reversal or true breakout cues. See:
Weekly structure — Track the week’s chosen day (e.g., Monday) high/low across prior weeks. If price stalls near a cluster of old “Monday Highs,” look for sweep/reject patterns or continuation on reclaim.
Macro regime — Hide daily/weekly lines and keep only Monthly Opens to read bigger cycles at a glance (BTC/crypto especially). Example:
Customization
Use wicks or bodies for highs/lows (wicks capture extremes; bodies are stricter).
Line style & thickness — solid/dashed/dotted, width 1–5, plus global transparency.
Labels — Abbreviated (“Mon High”, “D Open”) or full (month/week/day info).
Color scheme — Separate colors for highs, lows, and each of D/W/M opens.
Capacity controls — Set how many daily/weekly/monthly opens and how many weeks of chosen-day H/L to keep visible.
What’s under the hood
On your selected weekday, the script records that session’s true high and true low (using wicks or body-based extremes—your choice), then projects a horizontal line forward for the next bars.
At each new day/week/month , it records the opening price and projects that line forward as well.
Each bar, the script checks your “break” rules; once broken, lines/labels are removed if auto-cleaning is on.
Everything updates in real time; past levels don’t repaint after the session finishes.
Recommended presets
Day trading — Weeks back: 6–10; extend D/W opens: 50–100 bars; Break uses: Close ; Inclusive: off; Auto-remove: on.
Swing — Fewer daily opens, more weekly opens (2–6), and 8–12 weeks of chosen-day H/L.
Macro — Show only Monthly Opens (1–6 months), dashed style, thicker lines for clarity.
Reading the examples
Broken lines disappear — decluttering in action:
Macro outlook — monthly opens as cycle rails:
Liquidity map — previous day highs + daily open:
Final note
These are not “signals”—they’re reference points that many participants watch. By standardising how you draw them and automatically clearing the ones that no longer matter, you turn a noisy chart into a focused map: where liquidity likely sits, where price memory lives, and which lines are still in play.
Spiderlines BTCUSD - daily/weekly📘 Documentation – Daily and Weekly Spider Lines for Bitcoin
🔹 Purpose of the Script
This script draws dynamic “Spider Lines” in the Bitcoin chart.
The lines connect certain historical candles with a reference candle and extend to the right.
These act as guideline levels that can serve as potential support or resistance zones.
🔹 How It Works
The script operates in two modes, depending on the active chart timeframe:
Weekly Mode (timeframe.isweekly)
The reference date is July 1, 2019.
The number of weeks since that date is calculated.
This defines the connection candle (connection_candle).
Several predefined offsets (e.g., +32, +34, +36 …) are added to the reference to determine starting candles.
Lines are drawn from these candles toward the connection candle.
→ Line color: green
Daily Mode (timeframe.isdaily)
Same reference date: July 1, 2019.
The number of days since that date is calculated.
Again, a connection candle is set.
A different set of offsets (e.g., +224, +238, +252 …) defines the starting candles.
Lines are drawn accordingly.
→ Line color: red
🔹 Line Logic
Each line connects:
Start → bar_index at high
End → bar_index at close
Lines are extended indefinitely to the right (extend.right).
Appearance: dashed style, width 2.
🔹 Error Handling
If a calculated candle index does not exist in the chart history (e.g., chart data does not go back far enough),
a label is plotted in the chart showing the message:
"Daily idx out of range: 252"
This way, missing lines can be diagnosed easily.
🔹 Color Convention
Weekly Spider Lines → Green
Daily Spider Lines → Red
🔹 Use Cases
Visualization of historical cyclic line patterns.
Helps in technical chart analysis: spotting potential reaction zones in price movement.
Designed mainly for long-term traders and analysts observing Bitcoin in Daily or Weekly timeframes.
🔹 Limitations
Works only on Daily and Weekly charts.
Requires chart data going back to July 1, 2019.
Based purely on fixed offsets → not a classical indicator like Moving Averages or RSI.
DCA Anchor (Weekly/Monthly/N Bars) [CHE] What is Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)?
DCA is a position-building method where you invest a fixed amount at fixed intervals (e.g., weekly or monthly) regardless of price. Over time, this:
reduces timing risk (you don’t need to guess tops/bottoms),
smooths entry price by buying more units when price is low and fewer when price is high,
keeps decisions simple and repeatable.
Trade-offs:
You’ll never catch the exact bottom.
In strong uptrends, lump-sum can outperform.
Fees matter if you buy very frequently.
Simple math:
Qty bought at time t = `amount / price_t` (net of fees if fees are not “on top”).
Total qty = sum of all buys.
Average price (cost basis) = `total invested / total qty`.
Equity = `total qty last price`.
P\&L = `equity − total invested` (and `%` = `P&L / total invested`).
DCA Anchor (Weekly/Monthly/N Bars)
Purpose: automate scheduled DCA buys on chart data, optionally add extra buys on drawdowns, track stats, and fire alerts.
Core features
Schedules:
1. Every N bars,
2. Weekly (first bar of a new week),
3. Monthly (first bar of a new month).
A Start time input gates when the logic begins.
Fees model:
Fee on top: you pay `amount + fee` in cash; quantity = `amount / close`.
Fee from amount: fee is deducted from the amount; quantity is smaller, cash outlay equals `amount`.
Optional drawdown buys:
Trigger when `close ≤ avgCost (1 − ddPct/100)`.
Controls: drawdown % threshold, multiplier (extra size vs. base amount), and cooldown in bars.
State & metrics: tracks total invested, total quantity, average price, equity, P\&L (abs/%).
Visuals:
Line plot of Average Price.
Buy labels at execution bars (plan and drawdown).
Compact table (positionable) with key stats (trades, invested, qty, avg price, equity, P\&L).
Alerts:
Plan Buy (Bar Close) and Drawdown Buy (Bar Close) — robust, non-repainting.
Optional Intrabar Preview alerts for early heads-up (can fire before bar close).
How to use it (quick start)
1. Add to chart → Inputs:
Buy frequency: pick Every N bars, Weekly, or Monthly.
Start time: date from which buys may begin.
Buy amount: fixed cash per planned buy.
Fees % and Fee on top? to match your broker/exchange model.
(Optional) Enable drawdown buy, set threshold %, multiplier, and cooldown.
Toggle Show buy labels and Show stats table.
2. Alerts (recommended):
Use “DCA Plan Buy (Bar Close)” and/or “DCA Drawdown Buy (Bar Close)” with Once per bar close.
If you need early signals, enable Intrabar pre-alerts and add the two Intrabar Preview alerts with Once per bar.
3. Interpretation:
The yellow line is your average price.
Green/orange markers show plan buys and drawdown buys.
The table summarizes total trades, invested capital, quantity, average price, current equity, and P\&L.
Practical notes
All executions occur at bar close by default to avoid intrabar repainting.
Weekly/monthly roll depends on the symbol’s exchange calendar.
Backtest realism: no slippage, no partial fills. Fees are modeled as configured.
If you buy very frequently, consider higher “N” or weekly/monthly to keep fees under control.
If you want, I can tailor the defaults (amount, fee model, drawdown rules) to your typical markets and timeframes.

Emre AOI Zonen Daily & Weekly (mit Alerts, max 60 Pips)This TradingView indicator automatically highlights Areas of Interest (AOI) for Forex or other markets on Daily and Weekly timeframes. It identifies zones based on the high and low of the previous period, but only includes zones with a width of 60 pips or less.
Features:
Daily AOI Zones in blue, Weekly AOI Zones in yellow with 20% opacity, so candlesticks remain visible.
Persistent zones: AOI boxes stay on the chart until the price breaks the zone.
Multiple zones: Supports storing multiple Daily and Weekly AOIs simultaneously.
Break Alerts: Sends alerts whenever a Daily or Weekly AOI is broken, helping traders spot key levels in real-time.
Fully automated: No manual drawing needed; zones are updated and extended automatically.
Use Case:
Ideal for traders using a top-down approach, combining Weekly trend analysis with Daily entry signals. Helps identify support/resistance, supply/demand zones, and critical price levels efficiently.
All Weekly Opens + Week LabelThis script plots every Weekly Open (WO) across the entire chart, making it easy for traders to backtest how price reacts to weekly opens historically.
Each weekly open is drawn as a horizontal line and labeled with the month abbreviation and the week number of that month (e.g., WO Aug-4). This allows traders to quickly identify where each weekly session started and analyze market behavior around these key reference levels.
How it works
The script detects the first bar of each new week and records its opening price.
A horizontal line is drawn at that price, extending to the right.
An optional label shows the week name in the format Month-WeekNumber.
Traders can enable or disable labels, change line colors, line width, and optionally display the opening price in the label.
A new input allows filtering to show only the last N months of Weekly Opens. By default, all weekly opens are displayed, but traders can limit the chart to just the most recent ones for a cleaner view.
Why it’s useful
Weekly opens are often respected levels in both intraday and swing trading. They provide natural reference points for:
Backtesting market reactions to session opens.
Identifying areas of support/resistance around weekly levels.
Aligning trade entries and exits with higher-timeframe context.
Simplifying charts by focusing only on the most relevant recent weeks.
Notes
This indicator is not a trading signal generator.
It should be used as a contextual tool for analysis, helping traders improve risk management and entry precision.
Works on all symbols and timeframes.
The “last N months” filter is optional; setting it to 0 will plot all Weekly Opens available in the chart’s history.
Dynamic 50% Line [Daily and Weekly Range]This indicator automatically plots the 50% retracement level (midpoint) of the daily and weekly trading ranges. It helps traders identify key support/resistance zones where price may react, offering insights into potential reversal or continuation areas.
Auction Market Theory & the 50% Level
At its core, this indicator is built on Auction Market Theory (AMT), which views price movement as an ongoing auction process where buyers and sellers compete to establish value. The 50% midpoint represents fair value—the equilibrium where price is most likely to balance before continuing its trend or reversing.
When price deviates too far from this level, it often returns to balance (mean reversion) or accepts new value (breakout). By tracking the daily and weekly 50% lines, traders can:
Identify high-probability reversal zones (where price may reject fair value).
Spot trend continuation areas (where price accepts higher/lower value).
Align with institutional order flow, as large players often use these levels for execution.
This makes the indicator particularly powerful for traders who follow volume profile, order flow, or ICT concepts, as it visually maps the market’s ongoing auction process.
Features:
✅ Automated Daily & Weekly Midpoints – Calculates the 50% level from the high/low of each session.
✅ Customizable Line Styles – Choose between solid, dotted, or dashed lines for better visibility.
✅ Clear Labeling – Optional text labels show "50% Level" or custom text at your preferred position (left, middle, or right).
✅ Flexible Styling – Adjust line colors, thickness, and text size to match your chart theme.
How It Works:
Daily 50% Line: Resets at 6 PM NY time (new trading day).
Weekly 50% Line: Resets on Sunday at 6 PM NY time (new trading week).
The midpoint is calculated as:
(High + Low) / 2
Lines extend 500 bars forward for easy visibility.
Why Use This Indicator?
Unlike static Fibonacci tools, this dynamic indicator auto-updates the 50% level as new highs/lows form, saving time and improving accuracy. Whether you trade forex, stocks, or crypto, these levels often act as strong magnets for price action.
Previous VWAP Levels by Riotwolftrading The "Previous VWAP" indicator calculates and displays the previous session's Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) for five timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly).
Each VWAP is plotted as a horizontal line extending to the right edge of the chart, with customizable labels at the right to identify each level. The indicator is designed for traders who want to visualize key price levels from prior periods without cluttering the chart with current VWAPs or additional metrics like standard deviations.
**Functionality**:
- **Calculates Previous VWAPs**: Computes the VWAP for the previous session of each timeframe (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly) based on the input source (default: `hlc3`) and volume.
- **Visual Style** : Uses `line.new` to draw horizontal lines from five bars back to the current bar, ensuring the lines extend to the right edge of the chart. Labels are placed at the right edge using `label.new` for clear identification.
- **Customization** : Allows users to toggle visibility, adjust line styles, widths, colors, and label sizes, and choose between abbreviated or full label text.
- **Minimalist Design**: Focuses solely on previous VWAPs, omitting current VWAPs, rolling VWAPs, and standard deviation bands to keep the chart clean.
**Intended Use**: This indicator is useful for traders who rely on historical VWAP levels as support/resistance or reference points for trading decisions, particularly in strategies involving mean reversion or breakout trading.
---
### Rules and Features
*VWAP Calculation**:
- The VWAP is calculated as the cumulative sum of price (`src`) multiplied by volume (`sumSrcVol`) divided by the cumulative volume (`sumVol`) for each timeframe.
- The "previous VWAP" is the VWAP value from the prior session, captured when a new session begins (e.g., new day, week, month, etc.).
- The indicator uses the `hlc3` (average of high, low, close) as the default source, but users can modify this in the settings.
**Timeframes**:
- **Daily**: Previous day's VWAP.
- **Weekly**: Previous week's VWAP.
- **Monthly**: Previous month's VWAP.
- **Quarterly**: Previous quarter's VWAP (3 months).
- **Yearly**: Previous year's VWAP (12 months).
- New sessions are detected using `ta.change(time(period))` for each timeframe.
**Line Drawing**:
- Lines are drawn using `line.new` from `time ` (five bars back) to the current bar (`time`), ensuring they extend to the right edge of the chart.
- Lines are updated only on the last confirmed bar (`barstate.islast`) to optimize performance and avoid repainting.
- Previous lines are deleted (`line.delete`) to prevent overlapping or clutter.
**Labels**:
- Labels are drawn at the right edge (`x=time`, `xloc=xloc.bar_time`) with `label.new`.
- Users can choose between abbreviated labels (e.g., "pvD" for Previous Daily VWAP) or full labels (e.g., "Prev Daily VWAP").
- Label sizes are customizable (`tiny`, `small`, `normal`, `large`, `huge`).
- Labels are deleted (`label.delete`) on each update to maintain a clean chart.
5. **Customization Options**:
- **Visibility**: Toggle each VWAP (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly) on or off.
- **Colors**: Individual color settings for each VWAP line and label (default colors: Daily=#E12D7B, Weekly=#F67B52, Monthly=#EDCD3B, Quarterly=#3BBC54, Yearly=#2665BD).
- **Line Style**: Choose from `solid`, `dotted`, or `dashed` lines.
- **Line Width**: Adjustable from 1 to 4 pixels.
- **Label Settings**: Enable/disable labels, abbreviate text, and select label size.
- **Source**: Customize the price source (default: `hlc3`).
**Performance Optimization**:
- The indicator only updates lines and labels on the last confirmed bar to minimize computational overhead.
- Uses `var` to initialize variables and avoid unnecessary recalculations.
- Deletes previous lines and labels to prevent chart clutter.
---
### Usage Instructions
1. **Add to Chart**:
- In TradingView, go to the Pine Editor, paste the script, and click "Add to Chart."
- The indicator will overlay on the price chart, showing previous VWAP lines and labels.
2. **Configure Settings**:
- Open the indicator settings to customize:
- Toggle visibility of each VWAP timeframe.
- Adjust colors, line style, and width.
- Enable/disable labels, choose abbreviation, and set label size.
- Modify the source if needed (e.g., use `close` instead of `hlc3`).
3. **Interpretation**:
- **Previous VWAPs**: Act as dynamic support/resistance levels based on the prior session's volume-weighted price.
- **Timeframes**: Use shorter timeframes (Daily, Weekly) for intraday/swing trading, and longer timeframes (Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly) for positional trading.
- **Labels**: Identify each VWAP level at the right edge of the chart for quick reference.
4. **Best Practices**:
- Use on charts with sufficient volume data, as VWAP relies on volume (a warning is triggered if no volume data is available).
- Combine with other indicators (e.g., moving averages, RSI) for confirmation in trading strategies.
- Adjust line styles and colors to avoid visual overlap with other chart elements.
---
### Example Use Case
A trader using a 1-hour chart can add the "Previous VWAP" indicator to identify key levels from the prior day, week, or month. For example:
- The Previous Daily VWAP might act as a support level for a bullish trend.
- The Previous Weekly VWAP could serve as a target for a swing trade.
- Labels at the right edge make it easy to identify these levels without cluttering the chart.
This indicator provides a clean, customizable way to visualize previous VWAPs, making it ideal for traders who want historical price context with minimal chart noise. For the complete Pine Script code, refer to the artifact provided in the previous response.
Daily & Weekly False-Breakout DetectorDaily & Weekly Lines
We retrieve previous day/week’s High and Low.
lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on means we see the “final” daily/weekly bar values intraday, so it may repaint in real‐time.
False Breakout Logic
Intraday crosses of close above the previous high (PDH or PWH).
By the end of the daily/weekly bar, close is back below that high.
Similarly for false breakdowns below PDL or PWL.
Shape/Alert
Each time an intraday bar crosses up or down, if the final daily/weekly close reverts back inside the prior range, a label is drawn and an alert is triggered.
Because we are “peeking” at the daily/weekly close, these signals can appear or disappear in real‐time.
If you only want a confirmed signal after the period’s close, switch to lookahead_off, which will finalize them at the next day or next week.
ROBO STB Custom Weekly Candle (Fri-Thu)Description:
This indicator creates custom weekly candles that start on Friday and end on Thursday, instead of the standard Monday–Friday weekly structure in TradingView. It aggregates the open, high, low, and close (OHLC) values from Friday to Thursday and displays them as candlesticks on the chart.
Features:
✅ Custom weekly candles from Friday to Thursday
✅ Dynamic calculation of open, high, low, and close
✅ Works on any timeframe
✅ Helps traders analyze market structure differently
How It Works:
Identifies the custom weekly session based on Friday's start and Thursday's end.
Aggregates OHLC values within this time range.
Resets the values when a new custom week begins.
Plots the calculated weekly candles on the chart.
Use Case:
This indicator is useful for traders who prefer to analyze weekly price movements based on a non-standard start and end day, especially those focusing on forex, crypto, or commodities where trading hours differ.
Notes:
This script does not modify existing candles but overlays new custom weekly candles on the chart.
It does not repaint and updates in real-time.

Multi-Timeframe Liquidity LevelsMulti-Timeframe Liquidity Levels – Overview
The Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Levels indicator automatically displays significant highs and lows from various timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly) on your current chart. This allows traders to quickly identify potential support and resistance zones without frequently switching between different timeframe charts. Additionally, the script offers extra lines for special reference points (e.g., the “Midnight” midpoint of the current day and the previous day’s open/close) to highlight potential liquidity zones even more clearly.
1. Core Idea and Benefits
Time-Saving: Instead of manually reviewing charts in different timeframes, the indicator fetches relevant high/low levels automatically and shows them on your active timeframe.
Clear Layout: Traders instantly see where the Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly highs and lows lie—areas often associated with institutional orders or liquidity hunts.
Customizable: You can tailor the color scheme, line style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), and line width, ensuring the displayed levels fit your personal charting style.
2. How It Works
Multi-Timeframe High/Low
For each timeframe (Day, Week, Month, Quarter), the indicator references the previous candle’s high and low (high , low ).
Using request.security(...), these values are plotted on the chart you’re currently viewing.
Flexible Display
You can individually enable or disable the Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly lines, depending on which levels are most relevant to your trading.
With Line Style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) and Line Width, you can easily emphasize certain lines you consider more important.
Additional Lines
“Midnight” Line: A theoretical midpoint between today’s high and low, which can be useful for gauging daily pivot areas.
Previous Day’s Open/Close: Many traders track these reference points to anticipate market reactions. You can show or hide these lines as desired.
Automatic Line Removal & Creation
When a particular timeframe (e.g., “Show Monthly Levels”) is disabled, the script automatically removes the existing monthly lines.
Enabling it again recreates those lines without hassle.
3. Usage and Interpretation
Identifying Support and Resistance
Highs and lows from higher timeframes are often key zones for entries, exits, or major market reactions.
A Daily level may be crucial for short-term traders, whereas Monthly or Quarterly levels can indicate long-term liquidity areas.
Spotting Market Shifts
If price decisively moves above a Higher-Timeframe line, it could signal strong momentum.
Conversely, a failed breakout (where price quickly returns under or above a level) might warn of a potential reversal.
Extra Lines as Filters
The “Midnight” Line helps visualize a rough central price for the current day, aiding in intraday directional bias.
Previous Day’s Open/Close: Common reference points for day traders, where swift approaches and rejections can indicate potential entries or partial take-profit zones.
4. Practical Tips
Use Color-Coding Wisely: Assign distinct colors (e.g., Blue for Daily, Green for Weekly, Orange for Monthly, Purple for Quarterly) so you can easily discern which timeframe you’re looking at.
Toggle On/Off As Needed: Day traders might focus on Daily and Weekly, while long-term traders may pay closer attention to Monthly and Quarterly.
Combine with Price Action: Lines alone don’t constitute a trading strategy. Use them alongside candlestick patterns, volume analysis, or other indicators for a more complete market perspective.
5. Important Notes & Recommendations
Not Financial Advice: This indicator simply reflects historical high/low data across multiple timeframes and does not constitute a buy or sell recommendation.
Trader Responsibility: Observe how the market actually behaves around these lines and adapt your risk management accordingly.
(Early Test) Weekly Seasonality with Dynamic Kelly Criterion# Enhancing Trading Strategies with the Weekly Seasonality Dynamic Kelly Criterion Indicator
Amidst this pursuit to chase price, a common pitfall emerges: an overemphasis on price movements without adequate attention to risk management, probabilistic analysis, and strategic position sizing. To address these challenges, I developed the **Weekly Seasonality with Dynamic Kelly Criterion Indicator**. It is designed to refocus traders on essential aspects of trading, such as risk management and probabilistic returns, thereby catering to both short-term swing traders and long-term investors aiming for tax-efficient positions.
## The Motivation Behind the Indicator
### Overemphasis on Price: A Common Trading Pitfall
Many traders concentrate heavily on price charts and technical indicators, often neglecting the underlying principles of risk management and probabilistic analysis. This overemphasis on price can lead to:
- **Overtrading:** Making frequent trades based solely on price movements without considering the associated risks.
- **Poor Risk Management:** Failing to set appropriate stop-loss levels or position sizes, increasing the potential for significant losses.
- **Emotional Trading:** Letting emotions drive trading decisions rather than objective analysis, which can result in impulsive and irrational trades.
### The Need for Balanced Focus
To achieve sustained trading success, it is crucial to balance price analysis with robust risk management and probabilistic strategies. Key areas of focus include:
1. **Risk Management:** Implementing strategies to protect capital, such as setting stop-loss orders and determining appropriate position sizes based on risk tolerance.
2. **Probabilistic Analysis:** Assessing the likelihood of various market outcomes to make informed trading decisions.
3. **Swing Trading Percent Returns:** Capitalizing on short- to medium-term price movements by buying assets below their average return and selling them above.
## Introducing the Weekly Seasonality with Dynamic Kelly Criterion Indicator
The **Weekly Seasonality with Dynamic Kelly Criterion Indicator** is designed to integrate these essential elements into a comprehensive tool that aids traders in making informed, risk-aware decisions. Below, we explore the key components and functionalities of this indicator.
### Key Components of the Indicator
1. **Average Return (%)**
- **Definition:** The mean percentage return for each week across multiple years.
- **Purpose:** Serves as a benchmark to identify weeks with above or below-average performance, guiding buy and sell decisions.
2. **Positive Percentage (%)**
- **Definition:** The proportion of weeks that yielded positive returns.
- **Purpose:** Indicates the consistency of positive returns, helping traders gauge the reliability of certain weeks for trading.
3. **Volatility (%)**
- **Definition:** The standard deviation of weekly returns.
- **Purpose:** Measures the variability of returns, providing insights into the risk associated with trading during specific weeks.
4. **Kelly Ratio**
- **Definition:** A mathematical formula used to determine the optimal size of a series of bets to maximize the logarithmic growth of capital.
- **Purpose:** Balances potential returns against risks, guiding traders on the appropriate position size to take.
5. **Adjusted Kelly Fraction**
- **Definition:** The Kelly Ratio adjusted based on user-defined risk tolerance and external factors like Federal Reserve (Fed) stance.
- **Purpose:** Personalizes the Kelly Criterion to align with individual risk preferences and market conditions, enhancing risk management.
6. **Position Size ($)**
- **Definition:** The calculated amount to invest based on the Adjusted Kelly Fraction.
- **Purpose:** Ensures that position sizes are aligned with risk management strategies, preventing overexposure to any single trade.
7. **Max Drawdown (%)**
- **Definition:** The maximum observed loss from a peak to a trough of a portfolio, before a new peak is attained.
- **Purpose:** Assesses the worst-case scenario for losses, crucial for understanding potential capital erosion.
### Functionality and Benefits
- **Weekly Data Aggregation:** Aggregates weekly returns across multiple years to provide a robust statistical foundation for decision-making.
- **Quarterly Filtering:** Allows users to filter weeks based on quarters, enabling seasonality analysis and tailored strategies aligned with specific timeframes.
- **Dynamic Risk Adjustment:** Incorporates the Dynamic Kelly Criterion to adjust position sizes in real-time based on changing risk profiles and market conditions.
- **User-Friendly Visualization:** Presents all essential metrics in an organized Summary Table, facilitating quick and informed decision-making.
## The Origin of the Kelly Criterion and Addressing Its Limitations
### Understanding the Kelly Criterion
The Kelly Criterion, developed by John L. Kelly Jr. in 1956, is a formula used to determine the optimal size of a series of bets to maximize the long-term growth of capital. The formula considers both the probability of winning and the payout ratio, balancing potential returns against the risk of loss.
**Kelly Formula:**
\
Where:
- \( b \) = the net odds received on the wager ("b to 1")
- \( p \) = probability of winning
- \( q \) = probability of losing ( \( q = 1 - p \) )
### The Risk of Ruin
While the Kelly Criterion is effective in optimizing growth, it carries inherent risks:
- **Overbetting:** If the input probabilities or payout ratios are misestimated, the Kelly Criterion can suggest overly aggressive position sizes, leading to significant losses.
- **Assumption of Constant Probabilities:** The criterion assumes that probabilities remain constant, which is rarely the case in dynamic markets.
- **Ignoring External Factors:** Traditional Kelly implementations do not account for external factors such as Federal Reserve rates, margin requirements, or market volatility, which can impact risk and returns.
### Addressing Traditional Limitations
Recognizing these limitations, the **Weekly Seasonality with Dynamic Kelly Criterion Indicator** introduces enhancements to the traditional Kelly approach:
- **Incorporation of Fed Stance:** Adjusts the Kelly Fraction based on the current stance of the Federal Reserve (neutral, dovish, or hawkish), reflecting broader economic conditions that influence market behavior.
- **Margin and Leverage Considerations:** Accounts for margin rates and leverage, ensuring that position sizes remain within manageable risk parameters.
- **Dynamic Adjustments:** Continuously updates position sizes based on real-time risk assessments and probabilistic analyses, mitigating the risk of ruin associated with static Kelly implementations.
## How the Indicator Aids Traders
### For Short-Term Swing Traders
Short-term swing traders thrive on capitalizing over weekly price movements. The indicator aids them by:
- **Identifying Favorable Weeks:** Highlights weeks with above-average returns and favorable volatility, guiding entry and exit points.
- **Optimal Position Sizing:** Utilizes the Adjusted Kelly Fraction to determine the optimal amount to invest, balancing potential returns with risk exposure.
- **Probabilistic Insights:** Provides metrics like Positive Percentage (%) and Kelly Ratio to assess the likelihood of favorable outcomes, enhancing decision-making.
### For Long-Term Tax-Free Investors
This is effectively a drop-in replacement for DCA which uses fixed position size that doesn't change based on market conditions, as a result, it's like catching multiple falling knifes by the blade and smiling with blood on your hand... I don't know about you, but I'd rather juggle by the hilt and look like an actual professional...
Long-term investors, especially those seeking tax-free positions (e.g., through retirement accounts), benefit from:
- **Consistent Risk Management:** Ensures that position sizes are aligned with long-term capital preservation strategies.
- **Seasonality Analysis:** Allows for strategic positioning based on historical performance trends across different weeks and quarters.
- **Dynamic Adjustments:** Adapts to changing market conditions, maintaining optimal risk profiles over extended investment horizons.
### Developers
Please double check the logic and functionality because I think there are a few issue and I need to crowd source solutions and be responsible about the code I publish. If you have corrections, please DM me or leave a respectful comment.
I want to publish this by the end of the year and include other things like highlighting triple witching weeks, adding columns for volume % stats, VaR and CVaR, alpha, beta (to see the seasonal alpha and beta based off a benchmark ticker and risk free rate ticker and other little goodies.
CANSLIM IBD Relative Strength NIFTYSMLCAP250 (Daily & Weekly)This Pine Script (written in version 5) is designed to calculate the IBD Relative Strength for both daily and weekly timeframes, comparing the current chart's security to the NIFTY SMLCAP 250 index. Here's a breakdown of the code:
1. Indicator Initialization: This line sets up the indicator with both a short and full title. The overlay=true means the plot will be drawn on top of the price chart.
2. Fetching Data: This fetches the daily ("D") and weekly ("W") close prices for the NIFTY SMLCAP 250 index.
3. Relative Strength Calculation: Relative strength is calculated as the ratio of the security's current close price to the close price of the NIFTY SMLCAP 250, multiplied by 100 for both daily and weekly timeframes.
4. Timeframe-Based Selection: Here, the script checks whether the chart is in daily or weekly mode and selects the corresponding relative strength value.
5. Scaling with Multiplier: This section ensures there are at least 60 bars of data and scales the relative strength by using a multiplier derived from the 60th previous bar's close price.
6. Plotting: Finally, the scaled relative strength is plotted on the chart in black.
Improvements :
Dynamic Timeframe Handling: You might want to extend this for other timeframes, e.g., monthly.
Customization: You can add user input parameters to adjust the timeframe, scale factor, or period dynamically.
Color Enhancements: You can add color variation to indicate strength/weakness more clearly.

const color iDataCellColor = color.new(#25456E, 0)
The data cells have a background color to differ from title cells. You can configure this is a different parameter (iDataColor). You might even set the same color for data as for the titles if you will.
---
Mathematical Background:
Monthly and Weekly Extremums:
The indicator calculates the High (H) and Low (L) of the previous month and week, ensuring accurate representation of these key levels.
Standard Monthly Pivot Point:
The standard pivot point is determined based on the previous month's data using the formula:
PivotPoint = (PrevMonthHigh + PrevMonthLow + Close ) / 3
Monthly Pivot Points (R1, R2, R3, S1, S2, S3):
Additional pivot points are calculated for Resistances (R) and Supports (S) using the monthly data:
R1 = 2 * PivotPoint - PrevMonthLow
S1 = 2 * PivotPoint - PrevMonthHigh
R2 = PivotPoint + (PrevMonthHigh - PrevMonthLow)
S2 = PivotPoint - (PrevMonthHigh - PrevMonthLow)
R3 = PrevMonthHigh + 2 * (PivotPoint - PrevMonthLow)
S3 = PrevMonthLow - 2 * (PrevMonthHigh - PivotPoint)
---
Code Explanation and Interpretation:
The table displayed beneath the chart provides the following information:
Monthly Extremums:
(H) High of the previous month
(L) Low of the previous month
// Function to get the high and low of the previous month
getPrevMonthHighLow() =>
var float prevMonthHigh = na
var float prevMonthLow = na
monthChanged = month(time) != month(time )
if (monthChanged)
prevMonthHigh := high
prevMonthLow := low
Weekly Extremums:
(H) High of the previous week
(L) Low of the previous week
// Function to get the high and low of the previous week
getPrevWeekHighLow() =>
var float prevWeekHigh = na
var float prevWeekLow = na
weekChanged = weekofyear(time) != weekofyear(time )
if (weekChanged)
prevWeekHigh := high
prevWeekLow := low
Monthly Pivots:
Pivot: Standard pivot point based on the previous month's data
// Function to calculate the standard pivot point based on the previous month's data
getStandardPivotPoint() =>
= getPrevMonthHighLow()
pivotPoint = (prevMonthHigh + prevMonthLow + close ) / 3
Resistances:
R3, R2, R1: Monthly resistance levels
// Function to calculate additional pivot points based on the monthly data
getMonthlyPivotPoints() =>
= getPrevMonthHighLow()
pivotPoint = (prevMonthHigh + prevMonthLow + close ) / 3
r1 = (2 * pivotPoint) - prevMonthLow
s1 = (2 * pivotPoint) - prevMonthHigh
r2 = pivotPoint + (prevMonthHigh - prevMonthLow)
s2 = pivotPoint - (prevMonthHigh - prevMonthLow)
r3 = prevMonthHigh + 2 * (pivotPoint - prevMonthLow)
s3 = prevMonthLow - 2 * (prevMonthHigh - pivotPoint)
Initializing and Populating the Table:
The myTable variable initializes the table with a blue background, and subsequent table.cell functions populate the table with headers and data.
// Initialize the table with adjusted bgcolor
var myTable = table.new(position = iPosition, columns = 5, rows = 10, bgcolor = color.new(color.blue, 90), border_width = 1, border_color = color.new(color.blue, 70))
Dynamic Data Population:
Data is dynamically populated in the table using the calculated values for Monthly Extremums, Weekly Extremums, Monthly Pivot Points, Resistances, and Supports.
// Add rows dynamically with data

Mtl Weekly This Pine Script indicator for TradingView calculates and plots a line on the weekly chart, representing the average of the weekly high and low prices. The script uses conditional statements to determine and update the weekly high and low values. The calculated average is then plotted as a line on the chart in blue color. This indicator helps visualize the central point between weekly highs and lows, providing insights into potential trend directions.
VWAP Balance ZonesVWAP Balance Zones (VBZ) Is based on 3 concepts.
Many Traders use VWAP to help determine Price Trends.
Trends are typically identified by new Highs or new Lows.
Balanced is found when Supply and Demand are mostly Equal.
VBZ tracks the daily, weekly, and monthly highs and lows; Then plots the average (50%) between the VWAP and the respective extremes.
50% VWAP Zones can be considered significant since they attempt to identify the equilibrium between market participants within the current trend, serving as key reference points to consider for decision making. >While in an uptrend, Buyers may see price falling to the Hi 50% as an attractive value entry for the continuation upwards.
>While ALSO in an uptrend, Sellers may see price falling to the Hi 50% as a change in sentiment with more downwards movement on the way.
Because of these conflicting mindsets, these zones are thought to display areas of balance between buyers and sellers, which can serve as potential decision points throughout the day.
VBZ Draws Zones from the Daily (High/Low/Close) VWAPs and the Day's (High/Low/Close) extremes as seen below.
Technically speaking, an average between vwap and extreme is a single point, to make these into zones I am using multiple sources for vwap and tracking different points of the bar throughout the day (ex. Close VWAP & Daily Highest Close)
Weekly and Monthly are only displaying the Average Price between the VWAP and the (Weekly or Monthly) High/Low.
These hold up as important levels for speculation; however, since most action will be discovered at the daily zones, I am not displaying the zones for the Weekly and Monthly to keep noise to a minimum.
Unique Behaviors:
- Weekly values are hidden on the first day of the week since they are similar to the daily values on the first day of the week.
- Monthly values are hidden in the first week of the month for the same reason.
TASC 2023.09 The Weekly Factor█ OVERVIEW
TASC's September 2023 edition of Traders' Tips features an article written by Andrea Unger titled “The Weekly Factor", discussing the application of price patterns as filters for trade entries. This script implements a sample trading strategy presented in the article for demonstration purposes only. It explores how the strategy's equity curve might benefit from filtering trade entries using a specific price pattern.
█ CONCEPTS
Pattern filters represent valuable tools that assess current market conditions based on price movements and determine when those conditions become more favorable for trade entries.
The filter used and tested in this article is a metric called the "weekly factor", which measures the price range over the last five trading days and compares it to the open of the session five days ago and the close of the session one day ago (i.e., the "body" of the five-day period). When the five-day body is small compared to the five-day range, this could indicate "indecision" or "compression", potentially followed by a price expansion. Thus, the weekly factor metric can help identify areas in the market where a period of compression might signal a potential breakout.
This script demonstrates the use of the weekly factor for a sample intraday trading strategy (intended for educational and exploratory purposes only). In this strategy, the entry signal is triggered when a 15-minute bar breaks out of the previous day's high-low range, and the position is closed at the end of the day.
█ CALCULATIONS
The script uses two timeframes:
• The strategy entries are processed on the 15-minute timeframe.
• The weekly factor is obtained from the daily timeframe using the request.security function and the following formula:
math.abs(open - close ) < RangeFilter * (ta.highest(5) - ta.lowest(5) )
Here, RangeFilter is an input that can be optimized to find the favorable ratio between the five-day body and the five-day range. Smaller RangeFilter values will lead to fewer trade entries. A RangeFilter value of 1 is equivalent to turning off the filtering altogether.
CPR Weekly Variable Weekday SellerGood afternoon traders,
This is a script I built for option selling, in attempt to have a high success rate. This is pretty much the same as my other one titled "CPR Option Selling Strategy." The difference is this one is strictly for Weeklies, with a variable weekday to expiry. I've had many requests to have a weekly that would end on Thursday, so here it is. Just select the date for expiry of the option, then it will calculate a "weekly" option set, using the the same set up as the traditional M-F weekly CPR information, except for offset for the weekday in question.
So for expiry dates for options on Thursday, you would choose "Thursday" in the parameters and it will calculate using Fri through Thu data for the pivot timeframes.
The rest is like this...
The gist of how it works:
It uses the opening or close of the current chart's timeframe opening bar when referenced against a "weekly" timeframe determined by the week ending weekday chosen for the central pivot range ( CPR ).
Using that comparison, this script calculates an option to sell: put, call, or iron condor. It will calculate a call value using an average of the CPR central pivot and the max value of the prior higher timeframe's high or R1 (whichever is higher.)
It does the same for the put side, but uses the higher timeframe's low or S1 (whichever is lower.)
It will use the option on the other side of the source (open or close) of the CPR as the "option in play."
Settings:
There are many settings, most are simply "viewable" settings, and probably self explanatory, others, not so much:
"Source for Trigger" - this is the value used on the "opening bar," such as the close. This value is the one compared to the Central Pivot Range in determining whether to sell a call (if the source is lower,) sell a put (if the source is higher,) or an iron condor if it's in the CPR .
"Show Historical Win/Loss Percentages" - this shows a table in the bottom right of the W/L percentages for the current ticker and settings. Used for a quick glance at historical success rates.
Example use (OLD EXAMPLE):
An example use (which I completed last week) on the chart referenced in this share: I sold a put-spread for $0.90, selling a 590 and buying a 570 strike in the middle of the week. I was looking at an hourly timeframe chart with a weekly pivot timeframe for the strategy.
Obviously, making only $0.90 on a $20 spread, there is a lot more to lose than to make, but I did some other analysis to go with it, so I felt safe, and I had a stop set for $1.50. So it worked, along with 3 other plays I did, very similar, and if that "Historical Win/Loss Percentage" is accurate, which I am fairly certain it is, I felt good about it.
The key all comes down to what you sell it for, right? That piece only you can determine. :)
Happy trading and enjoy,

Daily/Weekly ExtremesBACKGROUND
This indicator calculates the daily and weekly +-1 standard deviation of the S&P 500 based on 2 methodologies:
1. VIX - Using the market's expectation of forward volatility, one can calculate the daily expectation by dividing the VIX by the square root of 252 (the number of trading days in a year) - also know as the "rule of 16." Similarly, dividing by the square root of 50 will give you the weekly expected range based on the VIX.
2. ATR - We also provide expected weekly and daily ranges based on 5 day/week ATR.
HOW TO USE
- This indicator only has 1 option in the settings: choosing the ATR (default) or the VIX to plot the +-1 standard deviation range.
- This indicator WILL ONLY display these ranges if you are looking at the SPX or ES futures. The ranges will not be displayed if you are looking at any other symbols
- The boundaries displayed on the chart should not be used on their own as bounce/reject levels. They are simply to provide a frame of reference as to where price is trading with respect to the market's implied expectations. It can be used as an indicator to look for signs of reversals on the tape.
- Daily and Weekly extremes are plotted on all time frames (even on lower time frames).
The Flip Backgrounds - Weekly & HourlyDescription
This indicator creates vertical background bands of larger timeframes when viewing lower timeframes so the trader can keep track of the larger timeframes when they are zoomed in on lower timeframes. This script displays hourly and weekly backgrounds. When the timeframe is thirty minutes or lower, hourly backgrounds are displayed. When the timeframe is greater or equal to an hour, then weekly backgrounds are displayed. The weekly backgrounds are great for spotting price movement over a weeks span. Many times price will go up the first part of the week and then come right back down in the second half (or vice versa). The weekly background makes these trends easy to spot.
The Flip
When a new candle forms, on any timeframe, this is referred to as "the flip". The most prominent flip is the hourly timeframe because intraday price action can be clearly seen with the hour timeframe. This is where this script gets its name. Also, since the stock market opens on the bottom of the hour, the hourly background start on the bottom of the hour as well.
Style
The hourly and weekly backgrounds can be independently toggled on and off for ease of use. The hourly and weekly vertical backgrounds are split into alternating colors. Each of these colors can be individually chosen (along with transparency) to match the trader chart colors.
Note: the weekly backgrounds logic in this script keeps track of the weeks by looking for Monday's. If the market is closed on a Monday, the weekly background will span two weeks.
MTF Key Levels - Support and ResistanceThis indicator shows how to Multi Time Frame (MTF) interpret levels:
Watch how price acts around these levels and how they can act as support/resistance and can be used as great confluence levels for your technical analysis.
This indicator displays:
VWAP Levels
Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Yearly
Within the chart above I have marked out how displaying these VWAP levels can provide support and resistance levels to be aware of.
Daily – Weekly - Monthly – Yearly Levels
O = Open / H = High / L = Low
pO = Previous Open / pH = Previous High / pL = Previous Low / pEQ = Previous Equlibrium
Having previous Low/High levels makes you aware of Swing Failure Patterns (SFP). Also the daily/weekly/monthly opening and previous opening can assist with the trend.
Daily Open: Gives you an idea who is in control for the day. This level very often acts as strong support or resistance.
Weekly Open: Indicates where the price is within the higher timeframe.
Monthly Open & Yearly Levels: Overview of direction for the whole month without looking at a monthly chart and Yearly chart
Line Options
Within the line options you can choose to have a clean chart and display a “short line”. These line length can be adjusted by the user.
Line just to the right.
Line across the screen.
Disclaimer: The Monthly and Yealy VWAP will only show on higher timeframes this is due to restriction of how many candles can be shown on the chart. The candles displayed need to go back to either the start of the month of year to be able to calculate their VWAPs.
