watermarkA little indicator to show what pair your chart is presenting so people can easily see what they are dealing with
you can also put your signature beside it so you can be easily recognizable.
Timeframe
MTF DPO-RSI IndicatorThis indicator uses the principle of taking the RSI of DPO readings across multiple time frames in order to provide trade signals and an overarching view of market conditions to the trader. My hope with creating this indicator was to present more divergence based signals than your typical indicator, while still keeping those signals at a high quality.
In the settings menu, you may specify:
Indicator Timeframe - the chart resolution that is used to calculate values.
Source DPO Length - the number of bars used to calculate the Detrended Price Oscillator value. The DPO value is the source for the RSI calculations.
DPO Hull Smoothing - how much smoothing is applied to the DPO . Smoothing is accomplished by taking a Hull Moving Average of the closing price, and using this to calculate the DPO value.
RSI Length - the number of bars used to calculate the RSI of the DPO value.
Time Multipliers 1 through 6 - use this to define what resolution each plot will represent. A value of 1 will represent the current Indicator Timeframe. A value of 3 will represent 3 times the current Indicator Timeframe, etc.
Show Plot 1 through 6 - toggles the display of plots.
How I trade with this indicator:
A value of under 30 represents an over sold state for that particular plot. A value of over 70 represents an overbought state for that plot.
Identify divergences on a lower timeframe plot which are apparent in overbought or oversold conditions, and confirm the signal with an overbought or oversold condition, or a divergence on a higher timeframe plot. Divergences which begin in oversold or overbought territory and end inside the 30-70 range tend to be more reliable signals, in my experience. Like all indicators, this is best when used in conjunction with other indicators. Trend indicators, such as double EMA's and Supertrend are my favorite pairing, and a stochastic RSI is a good tool to have as well.
This is my first published indicator! If you find unique ways to use it, drop me a message. I'd love to know what you find. :)
Indicator: SMA/EMA (Multi timeframes)This moving average indicator will plot the SMA or EMA sourced from a different timeframe on the current chart.
Applications:
Say you are viewing an hourly chart but you also want to know the ema20 sourced from a higher timeframe (i.e daily) of the same security. The problem with using most built-in indicators is that the MA values are usually calculated from the current chart, so to do that, you will have to toggle between 1h/1D. This script will eliminate this hassle by plotting out the desired alternative timeframe on the same chart.
Dynamic settings
By default the alternative timeframe is 1D, but this can be customized further:
- 1 week chart -> plots out 1 month MA
- 1 day chart -> plots out 1 week MA
- 1 hour chart -> plots out 1 day MA
TimeframeToMinutesLibrary "TimeframeToMinutes"
The timeframeToMinutes() function returns the number of minutes in an arbitrary timeframe string.
timeframeToMinutes()
Returns the number of minutes in the supplied timeframe string, which is arbitrary, i.e. it doesn't have to be the timeframe of the current chart but can be taken from an input.
The sole advantage over the short and neat Pinecoders f_resInMinutes function from their excellent MTF Selection Framework (at ) is that this one doesn't use up a security() call.
To convert the other way, from minutes to timeframe.period format, I would use the f_resFromMinutes function from the Pinecoders' MTF Selection Framework, which does not use security().
ERROR-CHECKING: It has light error-checking to try to make sure the string is in the format timeframe.period, e.g. 15S, 1 (minute), 60 (1H), 1D, 1W, 1M.
It will throw an error for some non-standard timeframes such as 30 hours (1800 minutes). Above 1440 minutes, only whole numbers of days are allowed. This is to be consistent with the security() function.
But it will allow some non-standard timeframes such as 7 hours (420 minutes). Such timeframes must still be supplied in the standard timeframe.period format.
param _tf
The timeframe to convert to minutes. Must be in timeframe.period format.
returns
An integer representing the number of minutes that the timeframe period is equivalent to.
Volume Zones Multi-Timeframe OverlayAt its core, this indicator is a variation of my other indicator, Welkin Advanced Volume Overlay (for VSA )
This version is based on the power of multi-timeframe analysis. The basic functionality is simple: Plot lines from the high and low of candles formed during periods of high volume and fill the space between them. The volume levels for deciding what counts as "high volume" are based on standard deviations of the volume's SMA , and the higher the volume , the brighter the zone. i.e., a volume zone set by a volume level that is 4 standard deviations higher than average will be more "filled in" and less transparent than a volume zone from a 2 standard deviation candle.
These zones tend to act as areas of congestion, and the "ceilings" and "floors" of the zones as support and resistance . Overlapping zones tend to indicate strength and are likely to require more effort to get through. The more timeframes that agree with each other, the stronger the zone, ceiling, or floor.
By default, these zones are drawn based on the chart's timeframe and 1 timeframe higher, automatically set based on some "standard" values:
1m -> 5m
5m -> 15m
10m -> 30m
15m -> 60m
30m -> 60m
60m -> 1d
1d -> 1w
Finally, both the base timeframe and the higher timeframe are customizable; this is intended to make it easy to "double" up copies of the indicator to fit even more timeframes on the chart, creating a sort of heatmap for volume price analysis.
An example of three copies of the indicator, showing volume zones from 6 different timeframes.

Macd Divergence + MTF EMA MACD Divergence + Multi Time Frame EMA
This Strategy uses 3 indicators: the Macd and two emas in different time frames
The configuration of the strategy is:
Macd standar configuration (12, 26, 9) in 1H resolution
10 periods ema, in 1H resolution
5 periods ema, in 15 minutes resolution
We use the two emas to filter for long and short positions.
If 15 minutes ema is above 1H ema, we look for long positions
If 15 minutes ema is below 1H ema, we look for short positions
We can use an aditional filter using a 100 days ema, so when the 15' and 1H emas are above the daily ema we take long positions
Using this filter improves the strategy
We wait for Macd indicator to form a divergence between histogram and price
If we have a bullish divergence, and 15 minutes ema is above 1H ema, we wait for macd line to cross above signal line and we open a long position
If we have a bearish divergence, and 15 minutes ema is below 1H ema, we wait for macd line to cross below signal line and we open a short position
We close both position after a cross in the oposite direction of macd line and signal line
Also we can configure a Take profit parameter and a trailing stop loss
Hx MTF Sorted MAs Panel with Freeze WarningThis script displays the close price and 4 sorted moving averages of your choice in a small repositionable panel and, when used on a higher timeframe, warns you when values may be different from actual values in the higher timeframe, inciting you to double check the actual values of the moving averages in the higher timeframe the panel is supposed to reflect.
The 4 moving averages and close are sorted together, providing you with a bird’s-eye view of their relative positions, the same way moving averages and last price values are displayed on the right scale.
The black header reminds of:
(1) the timeframe (resolution) used in the panel
(2) the remaining time before a new bar is created in the panel timeframe. Note that this remaining time is different from the one on the right scale, since it is only updated when a new transaction occurs.
Below, price and moving averages are sorted, color coded and followed by:
(1) a trend indicator ↗ or ↘ meaning that last change is up or down
(2) the number of bars since the moving average is above or below close (0 means current bar). This is obviously not displayed after the close price line (white background color).
Use
This panel was basically developed to display higher timeframe data but it can also be used with the same timeframe as chart for example if you do not want to plot moving averages on your chart but are still interested in their trends and relative positions vs price.
If you see something strange (like header is not black and displays NaN), it just means you requested moving averages that are not available in the panel timeframe. This may happen with newly introduced cryptos and “long” MA timeframes.
Different Timeframe
If you choose to use the panel on a different timeframe than the current one, be aware that you should only use timeframes higher than the current one, as per Tradingview recommendations.
If you select a lower timeframe than the current one, the panel timeframe header cell will turn to the alert color you set (fuchsia by default).
After tinkering for a while with the security function, I noticed that sometimes indicator values “freeze” (i.e. stop udating) and I have found no workaround.
What I mean is that when you look at a sma on a 5 minutes timeframe (the reference) and look at this same sma on a 5 minutes timeframe but from a lower timeframe through the security function set with a timeframe of 5 minutes, values returned by the security function are not always up to date and “freeze”. That’s the bad news.
Freeze warning
The better news is that this unexpected behaviour seems to be predictable, at least on minutes timeframes and I implemented an indicator that endeavors to detecting such situations. When the panel believes data may be frozen, the ‘Remaining Time’ header cell will turn to the alert color.
This feature is only implemented on minutes timeframes and can be switched on or off.
Other points of interest in this script
If you code, this function may also interest you:
sortWithIndexes (arrayToSort) returns a tuple (sortedArray, sortedIndexes) and therefore allows multi-dimensional arrays sorting without actually implementing a sorting algorithm 😉.
Default Settings
The default settings provide an example of commonly used moving averages with associated colors ranked from Hot (more nervous) to Cold (less nervous).
These settings are just an example and are NOT meant to be used as a trading system! DYOR!
Hope it will be useful.
Does the Freeze warning work for you? What do you think of my pseudo sorting algorithm?

MTF Candlestick Patterns Screening [tanayroy]This script displays all candle patterns found in multi-time frames for a given lookback period. Candle pattern screening logic is taken from TradingView’s built-in script. The script works with 5m, 15m, 30m, 1HR, 2HR, 4HR, D, W, M timeframe. Works best with 5m chart.
Options available for trend detection, lookback period, and selecting candle pattern.
Please like, comment, and follow.
Time of Day and Day of Week Buying and Selling StrategyThis strategy allows you to back test longing or shorting or do nothing during time increments of 30 minutes for various days of the week. For example if you want to see if every Saturday if Bitcoin dropped in value from 1600-7000 UTC, this script will allow you to test that.
Make sure you are in the 30 minute time frame while viewing the performance and trade history.
Multi-timeframe MAs + Stoch RSI SignalsHello traders,
I welcome you to my first published script on TradingView: “Multi-timeframe Moving Averages + Stochastic RSI”.
The script is based on a simple formula: Buy signals are generated when a fast moving average is above a slower moving average (uptrend) and the Stochastic RSI K line is crossing above the oversold level (entry).
Sell signals are generated when a fast moving average is below a slower moving average (downtrend) and the Stochastic RSI K line is crossing below the overbought level (entry).
This indicator works best in strong trends!
**Please note the above example has repainting turned on which may produce unrealistic results when viewing historical data. See below for more information regarding this and how you can turn it off.**
The user has the following inputs:
- Option to change the Stochastic RSI settings, including the oversold and overbought levels.
- Option to enter any value for both the Fast Moving Average and the Slow Moving Average.
- Option to change between EMA or SMA for each moving average.
- Multiple time frames to choose from, as well as the ability to selectively turn off individual time frames (both plots and alerts).
(Default time frames are 1 hour, 4 hour, and Daily. You can have a 4th time frame by changing your current time frame to something lower than the other 3 time frames)
- Turn on/off repainting: If repainting is turned on you will get an alert and buy/sell signal on chart immediately when condition is met, however the signal may disappear from chart if the condition reverses during the same candle.
If repainting is turned off, the indicator will wait for the candle to close before issuing the alert and painting the signal on chart.
For higher time frames, the indicator will wait for the candle in the higher time frame to close before issuing a signal if repaint is turned off. Default is set to Repaint on, so please be aware of this if you do not want repainting.
How to use alerts:
- Before you do anything, make sure your current time frame is the lowest time frame you’d like alerts on, as you will still receive alerts for the higher time frames you selected in settings.
- Once you have all the settings changed to how you like, save your chart first. Then right click on any of the indicator’s buy/sell signals on the chart and click “Add Alert on MAs + Stoch RSI”.
- Make sure “Any alert() function call” is selected under the Condition.
- You can delete or change the text in “Alert name” if you want as the alert message is already built into the indicator, and it will tell you in the alert message which asset and time frame to buy or sell.
Other things to note:
- The indicator will not display the buy/sell signals of lower time frames when you are on a higher time frame. This was done purposely to reduce clutter on the chart when you switch to higher time frames.
- While the alert message will tell you which time frame a signal was generated, the plots on the chart will instead show “Buy/Sell TF1, or TF2, or TF3”.
If the signal is from the current time frame that the alert was created on, then it will simply show “Buy” or “Sell”.
Hope you guys enjoy using this one, please drop a like if you found it useful. If anyone wants to modify my script in any way, please just credit me for the original work when you publish the script. Good luck!
Multi-Currency & Multi-Timeframe SMA Summary Table
This script displays a summary table of the direction of simple moving averages of all the currencies on all timeframes. The concept was that I wanted a summary page giving me a birds eye view of what is happening in the market. I plan to use it as a common sense check to confirm that I'm not trading against the flow. I'm not planning to use it to blindly enter (ah if only trading was that easy!!!).
The above example is showing the direction of the 100 SMA for 30S, 3min, 15min, 1h, 4h, D for all the currencies. The base currency is adjusted so that the colour coding is adjusted to express the strength of the specific currency. For example in the case of CAD it is showing the directions of SMAs for CADNZD, CADAUD, CADJPY, CADCHF, CADEUR, CADGBP, CADUSD - the base currency is flipped on some pairs so CAD is always the base currency.
An example of what it is showing - look at the 1h column on JPY. All rows are red except for the chf row. This means that the 100SMA is pointing down on all JPY crosses except for JPYCHF (remember, SMA is down assuming JPY is the base currency).
Unfortunately, I could not fit all the script into a single indicator so you have to load an instance of the indicator into the chart for each timeframe you want to see. So the above example has 6 instances of the indicator overlaid - 1 instance for: 30S, 3min, 15min, 1h, 4h and D. Just choose the timeframe and the script will automatically organise the table.
At the bottom (in blue) is a summary score: a score of 7 = the MA is up on that timeframe on all currency crosses; a score of -7 = the MA is down on that timeframe on all currency crosses. So if you look at the example above, the blue row is showing that USD is very strong against all other currencies and the AUD is generally weak against all other currencies (notice the light blue vs the dark blue).
-You can choose the length of the SMA.
-You can chose the 'lookback' period (the bars back the script looks to compare whether the MA is getting higher or lower)
-You can change the colours
-You can adjust the table size to fit your monitor size
I hope its useful - I tried it yesterday and it kept me focused on USD strength (and not get seduced by temporary USD weakness). So it is doing what I designed it to.
Hope its useful. Good luck!

Timeframe Time of Day Buying and Selling StrategyThis strategy allows you to back test longing or shorting or do nothing during time increments of 30 minutes. The price trends in one direction every 30 minutes and this strategy allows you to test various 30 minute time frames across a range of dates to capitalize on this.
Make sure you are in the 30 minute time frame while viewing the performance and trade history.
Bjorgum MTF MAScope:
Up to 3 MA's can be applied at the users discretion
Choose between 10 different average types including favorites from the Bjorgum series from HEMA to Reversal T3's
Each MA can be independently set
Go Multi-timeframe! Any MA can be set to any timeframe of reference you choose (ex. using 3 different timeframes of higher resolution to your chart reference to establish a multi-time frame trend)
RSI HEATMAP. Use the bar color or the MA color selection toggle to set your color to reference RSI on a gradient. This helps to establish clear visual reference to momentum on top of trend analysis
Assigning RSI bar color to an MA of a higher time frame can allow you to see visual reference of momentum of the greater trend that may be at play.
Example: trying to get short on a 15min while your 1hr and 4hr RSI Heatmap burns deep in oversold.
RSI color can be assigned to the bar color, the MA (1,2 or 3), or both. Alternatively, bar color can be assigned to a more simple rising/ falling MA color and price above/ below the MA for bar color.
ALL MTF FUNCTIONS ARE NON_REPAINTING.
The Idea
The original inspiration behind the script came from an observation of a constant struggle of Pinecoders of both youth or experience to find accurate multi-timeframe indicators that do not repaint, and appear as should on historical bars, while performing reliably in real time. I encourage you to scroll the Pinecoders FAQ on a recent piece explaining the difficulties and caveats of different approaches, but I would like to reference the elimination of the historical bar offset for THIS purpose. MA's are based on closing prices, that is to say they are confirmed and will not change once the bar has closed. There is no need to offset these for historical reference. The purpose of the historical offset is best exemplified, for example, with an intraday strategy involving daily breakouts. Let's entertain going long on a break to a new daily high. We would not know that in real time so we need to reference the previous bars close for BACKTESTING purposes, otherwise we get "lookahead bias". There is no shortage of strategies unintentionally employing this bias out there (I'm sure you have come across them with their unrealistic results).
There is no worry of repainting with the MTF security function included within this script, nor will it offset for something involving lookahead bias. I encourage those that are playing with the code or perhaps writing strategies of their own to borrow the functions within. There is also a function that will return the 10 MA variable selection - yours to keep.
With all that in mind, I wanted a practical script that is easily deployable in everyday trading for the average trader that gives the user a firm grip on their trading steering wheel equipped with the feel of the road. Incorporating several MA's of differing times with the RSI heatmap gives a good visual reference and feel to your trading environment, while offering a level of customization that will fit an individuals personal trading style. The RSI heatmap gradient is per percentage between 30 and 70 and your 2 colors - anything outside of those levels gives you the vibrant bias color
Below I walk through 2 examples of live trades scenarios I made using the mindset the script offers.
The Trade
LONG IZEA
Timeframe: 4hr chart
- 3 Tilson MA's of varying length are deployed at varying intraday time frames
- A bullish pattern in an uptrend offers a possible trade allowing entry from a low risk point from the pattern low
- See the chart for notes and observations using the script
- Notice how the heatmap brightens up as price extends far away from the averages - your risk has elevated for a new position
- Notice the heatmap cool off while price action consolidates sideways
The Trade
SHORT BTCUSDT
Timeframe: 4hr chart
- 3 EMAs are employed - same length (50), with 3 successive timeframe resolutions
- A downtrend is formed with a sharp move to stack the EMAs into layers
- A pull back opportunity presents itself in bearish consolidation
- Notice a Doji star at resistance establishing a swing high as RSI cools off into the EMA dynamic resistance for entry
- An '"equal legs" measured move can be used for a trade target with a stop out above the swing high.
- Again, take note of distance from EMA's, the heatmap in combination with trend development surrounding the MA's
These were just two ideas to show you an example of how to implement some strategy into your trading and to get some interesting use from the indicator. Hope you enjoyed the read and happy trading.

Moving Average Ribbon [TheBearFighter]
This code was written using:
•Pine Script Coding Conventions.
This script provides a very useful tool for new community users and professionals. It puts at your disposal a Moving Average Ribbon by hand to graph and easily find the ones with the highest performance. The creation of this script was motivated because in free TradingView accounts there is a limit of 3 indicators by chart, and with this tool you can draw up to 32 MA's at the same time!
Choose one of 10 types of MA´s:
•KAMA Kaufman's moving average.
•HULL Hull moving average.
•TEMA Triple exponencial moving average.
•LSMA Least square moving average.
•DEMA Double exponencial moving average.
•ALMA Arnaud Legoux moving average.
•WMA Weighted moving average
•EMA Exponencial moving average.
•VWMA Volume Weighted moving average.
•SMA Simple moving average.
Use the tooltips to know the lengths of MA´s.
A main characteristic of the script is that the lengths are in days but when changing the lowest timeframes, the same daily resolution is maintained. This gives us extreme precision in intraday timeframes, e.g 30 minutes.
Once this is understood, we can turning the MA´s on/off, and changing the timeframe to our liking.
Available timeframes: M, W, D, 4H, 1H, 30m, 15m, 5m.
Also the MA´s are colored for easy visualization and know if they grow or decrease.
Thank´s to @midtownsk8rguy to let me know more about HEX colors.
Thank´s to @HPotter for his KAMA.
Breakout Trend Follower V2This is a variation on my other Breakout Trend Follower script. In the other script, you can use a moving average to act as a filter for your trades (i.e. if the price is below the moving average, it won't go long). After making the tool that detects trends on higher timeframes, I wanted to see if that might be a better filter than a moving average.
So this script lets you look at higher time frame trends (i.e. are there higher highs and higher lows? If so, this is an uptrend). You only take trades when you are with the trend. You have the ability to select up to two trends to act as a filter. Each trend direction is shown on a table on the chart for easy reference. The current pivot highs and lows are plotted on the chart so you can see when you might be breaking both the current timeframe's trend and higher level trends.
What I found was that in general this does not perform as well as the other strategy, but it does seem to be a lot more picky with trades. Showing higher win rates and a better profit factor. It just takes a lot less trades and the net profit isn't as good.
Multi Pivot Points - All in One IndicatorThis multi pivot indicator allows you to plot and overlay different types of pivot points:
-Fibonacci
-Floor Traders
-Camarilla
In addition to this, you can plot pivots from two different timeframes of your choice, for example the daily & weekly pivots, monthly & yearly, etc.
-You can select the linestyle, width and color of each pivot type for easy recognition of levels.
-You can choose to show only the current set of pivots or you can show the historical levels too.
This indicator allows traders to search for high probability targets or support and resistance zones via the confluence of both different pivot types and timeframes. These levels can work for either day traders or longer terms traders.
In the case of Fibonacci levels these can be chosen in the menu.
Enjoy!!
Example - Custom Defined Dual-State SessionThis script example aims to cover the following:
defining custom timeframe / session windows
gather a price range from the custom period ( high/low values )
create a secondary "holding" period through which to display the data collected from the initial session
simple method to shift times to re-align to preferred timezone
Articles and further reading:
www.investopedia.com - trading session
Reason for Study:
Educational purposes only.
Before considering writing this example I had seen multiple similar questions
asking how to go about creating custom timeframes or sessions, so it seemed
this might be a good topic to attempt to create a relatively generic example.
MTF Trend WidgetThis indicator identifies trends in multiple higher timeframes (D, W, M) and shows them in a widget off to the right of the chart.
It's meant to be used as an alternative filter for "trading with the trend." Typically people use moving averages of varying lengths for this (i.e. if over 200 MA it's an uptrend, etc.), but I wanted to see if it might be more effective to see if the higher timeframes were actually trending or not in a certain direction.
For the purposes of this indicator, an uptrend is defined as higher highs and higher lows. So if currently in a downtrend and the highs are broken, the indicator will flip to an uptrend because now we have a higher high. Vice versa for downtrends.
The user can choose the lookback period for defining these highs/lows (the pivot points). A smaller lookback number will give you more frequent pivot points.
The user can toggle on visibility of all historical pivot points to make sure the frequency and placement of the swing highs/lows is to their liking.
The user can show the support/resistance lines of those most recent swing high/low points on the multiple timeframes as well.
When these lines are breached, that is when the trends change, so you can see if you are close to changing any longer term trends.
My hope is that this gives people a quick glance at the overall trend without having to cycle through different timeframes.
