Zig Zag+ (Macro + Internal Structure Tool)ZigZag+ (Macro + Internal Structure Tool)
ZigZag+ is a simple tool that helps traders to clearly identify and differentiate between macro and internal market structure, to help you keep your bearings of where you are currently in the overall picture.
It is especially difficult to keep your bearings within the larger structural trend when trading the lower timeframes, where for example, a bearish structural trend on a lower timeframe may simply be a retracement of an overall bullish structural trend on a higher timeframe. This indicator primarily aims to help traders maintain awareness of where they are in relationship to the higher timeframe / 'macro' structural trend, and their most significant swing point highs and lows.
The features of this indicator include:
- 2x Zig Zag lines drawn automatically onto your chart. One which has a longer length than the other, which can be used to help identify and differentiate the larger price swings from the smaller price swings found within it. Enabled by default.
- Customisable Zig Zag line color & width settings to help clearly differentiate the higher timeframe 'macro structure' apart from the lower timeframe 'internal structure' within it, enabling it to be tailored to suit your chart colour theme and personal preference.
- Customisable individual length settings for the 2x Zig Zag lines, to allow the fine tuning of each line to any timeframe and asset. By default one lines length is set to a higher value than the other, to illustrate a macro structure (higher length value) as well as the 'internal structure' (lower value length), seen within the larger macro structure.
- Up to a maximum of 500 lines can be drawn meaning you can zoom out considerably, and view historical price action with both Zig Zag lines continuing to print.
- Custom alerts for identifying candlesticks that can offer optimal entries where they are found within valid price markups or markdowns that are already underway. Further details can be found within the tooltips for these signals.
Note: The above list of features are accurate at the time of publishing, but may be updated or added to in future.
Structure
Understanding structure is arguably the foundation of all trading strategies, and therefore very important to understand where you are exactly in the bigger picture, since it can help identify levels at which there is a higher probability of price moving either upward or downward at a given point. Structural trend refers to the typical way that price tends to move in any given trending market, identified by the continuation of higher highs and higher lows in a typical bullish trending market, and lower highs and lower lows in a bearish trending market.
During other times price may not be trending in this way, for example when it is undergoing accumulation or distribution phases, where the consistent higher high & lower low / lower high and lower low patterns will not be evident.
What is Macro Structure?
Macro trend structure refers to the structural trend seen on higher timeframe charts.
What is Internal Structure?
Internal trend structure refers to the structural trend seen on lower timeframe charts, which is found within the higher timeframe structure.

Wick-off Check Moving Average [Misu]█ This Indicator shows a wick-off check pattern applied to a moving average.
This pattern appears when a candle opens below the moving average and closes above it, or when it opens above a moving average and closes below it. This causes a wick to go through the moving average: a wick-off check moving average.
█ Usages:
This indicator detects small pullbacks in a trend. This is mainly used for trading continuation strategies.
It can also be used to validate a resistance or support level .
█ Features:
> Average Wick Validation: You can validate a wick-off check pattern depending on the average wick size. This is configured with parameters "Lenght Avg Wick Validation" and "Factor Wick Validation".
> Trend Validation: A trend is taken into account when detecting a "continuation pattern". A trend is validated if X candles close above (up trend) or under (down trend) the moving average. This "X" is defined by "Length Bar - Trend Validation" parameter.
> Buy and Sell: Labels are showing wick-of check patterns but can be interpreted as a buy & sell signal.
> Multi Moving Average.
> Alerts.
█ Parameters:
Method Multi MA : The method for calculating the moving average.
Multi MA Length : The length used to calculate the moving average.
Length Bar - Trend Validation : Define the number of bar needed to validate a trend. When price is above the MA, trend is up. When price is under MA, trend is down.
Wickoff Mode : Mode used to detect Wickoff check pattern.
> continuation pattern: only shows wick-off check pattern in a confirmed trend.
> no trend in progress: only shows wick-off check pattern in a not confirmed trend.
> both: shows both.
Lenght Avg Wick Validation : Lenght used to calculate the average wick size.
Factor Wick Validation : Factor used to validate the length of a wick when a wick-off check is detected.
Catching the Bottom (by Coinrule)This script utilises the RSI and EMA indicators to enter and close the trade.
The relative strength index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis. RSI measures the speed and magnitude of a security's recent price changes to evaluate overvalued or undervalued conditions in the price of that security. The RSI is displayed as an oscillator (a line graph) on a scale of zero to 100. The RSI can do more than point to overbought and oversold securities. It can also indicate securities that may be primed for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price. It can signal when to buy and sell. Traditionally, an RSI reading of 70 or above indicates an overbought situation. A reading of 30 or below indicates an oversold condition.
An exponential moving average (EMA) is a type of moving average (MA) that places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points. The exponential moving average is also referred to as the exponentially weighted moving average. An exponentially weighted moving average reacts more significantly to recent price changes than a simple moving average simple moving average (SMA), which applies an equal weight to all observations in the period.
The strategy enters and exits the trade based on the following conditions.
ENTRY
RSI has a decrease of 3.
RSI <40.
EMA100 has crossed above the EMA50.
EXIT
RSI is greater than 65.
EMA9 has crossed above EMA50.
This strategy is back tested from 1 April 2022 to simulate how the strategy would work in a bear market and provides good returns.
Pairs that produce very strong results include ETH on the 5m timeframe, BNB on 5m timeframe, XRP on the 45m timeframe, MATIC on the 30m timeframe and MATIC on the 2H timeframe.
The strategy assumes each order is using 30% of the available coins to make the results more realistic and to simulate you only ran this strategy on 30% of your holdings. A trading fee of 0.1% is also taken into account and is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance.

Strategy Myth-Busting #10 - InsideBar+EMA - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our 10th one we are automating is the " 75% Win Rate High Profit Inside Bar Trading Strategy - What If You ... " strategy from " Trade Pro " who claims to have backtested this manually and achieved 11,063% profit with a 75% winrate over 100 trades. I was unable to emulate these results consistently accommodating for slippage and commission but even so, the results look promising. I was only able to achieve this win-rate with some multiple take profit staggering. Even so the markdown is above where I would normally consider comfortable (>20%).
If you know of or have a strategy you want to see myth-busted or just have an idea for one, please feel free to message me.
This strategy uses a combination of 2 open-source public indicators:
Inside Bar Ind/Alert by CMA
EMA (built-in)
Trading Rules
4 hour candles
Stop Loss at EMA Line with TP Target 1.5x the risk
Long Entry when these conditions are true
inside bar and bullish
Bar close's above 50 ema
Price action rises above high of inside bar .
Short Entry when these conditions are true
inside bar and bearish
Bar close below 50 ema
Price action falls below low of inside bar
Price action: candlestick trend painter This script paints bars in different colors based on whether they are trending up or down.
It shows you if a candle is bearish or bullish based on the high and low of the previous candle.
Bull candles form higher highs (HH) and higher lows (HL) from the previous candle and are painted green.
Bear candles form lower highs (LH) and lower lows (LL) from the previous candle and are painted red.

Buying & Selling PressureBuying and selling pressure is a volatility indicator which denotes the balance between buyers and sellers inside candlestick.
You set the length to average it just like ATR. But This offers further break down of participants of the market.
Pretty much at any condition of the market the indicator can filter out interesting details to make trading decisions faster or confirm them.
So keep it simple we have two lines
🟢 Green → buying pressure
🔴 Red → selling pressure
If green is rising → Price most likely will grow
If green is rising and red is falling → Price will grow at higher probability
If red is rising → Price most likely will fall
If red is rising and green is falling → Price will fall at higher probability
When they both grow or fall → wait till one of them goes opposite way.
╳ Crossings can indicate turning points for bigger price swings.
Technically by very act of intersecting means that Buying and Selling Pressure are equal.
Can be used for Demand/Supply analysis and evaluate the support/resistance levels.
Confined Range Candle FinderThis indicator finds candlesticks which are confined within the range of a previous candlestick. This indicates volatility contraction which often leads to volatility expansion, i.e. large price movements.
While every confined range will contain at least 1 inside bar, this indicator differs from the Inside Bar Finder which only finds consecutive inside bars.
This indicator includes options such as:
- The minimum number of candlesticks confined within the range of a previous candlestick to trigger the indicator
- Labels to indicate the number of confined candles
- Signal lines to indicate the high and low of the containing candlestick
Try out this indicator with different options on different timeframes to see if confined ranges increase the probability of identifying the direction of price movements. Breaks or closes outside signal lines can be used to trigger trade signals.
Minimalist Doji HighlighterThis minimalism focused indicator was designed specifically to highlight doji candles (gravestone, long-legged, and dragonfly) that generally signal indecision/neutrality within price structure to improve trading accessibility for the disabled/visually impaired, visual charting cues or pattern visibility, and educational/learning purposes.
HOW TO USE IT:
Highlight doji candles to improve visual cues on chart.
Default size of 0.15-0.02 works best, yet can be modified thus ensuring flexibility of use and experimentation.
Additionally, there is an option to add crosses above doji candles for additional visual cues; this feature is set to false by default to avoid cluttering charts.
MARKET USAGE:
All time frames and assets.
MARKET CONDITIONS:
All conditions.
Regression Channel, Candles and Candlestick Patterns by MontyRegression Candles by ugurvu
Regression Channel by Tradingview
All Candlestick Patterns By Tradingview
This script was combined for a friend of mine who needed this.
This Script has regression candles by ugurvu, Regression channel and Candlestick patterns by tradingview.
The intention was to fuse these together so more information can be processed on the cost of a single indicator.
Liquidity Engulfing Candles [upslidedown]Liquidity engulfing candles (LEC) are a variant of a common candlestick pattern: engulfing candles but with a couple extra conditions applied. These conditions expect highs/lows to be taken out in order to show a continuation or reversal signal.
Filter 1: Stop Hunt Wick Filter
This filter requires the candle to wick into the prior candles high or low ( bullish = wick below prior candle lows). This is the stop hunt.
Filter 2: Close Filter
This filter requires the candle to close above or below above the prior candle ( bullish = close above prior candle high). This is the confirmation.
This idea was introduced to me by @attrk632. Thanks, mate!

Choppy Market EMA IdentificationThis indicator could be used to identify choppy Market Conditions based on the EMA.
It is an EMA that could be configured to only show up, if the last 1..n candles are NOT crossing the EMA in any direction.
I figured out that lower timeframes ( < 30 min) often the price bounces around the 200 EMA and gives lot of false signals using different strategies.
So i decided to write a small indicator to avoid taking trades in those market conditions.
The Indicator could be configured for the length of the EMA and how many crosses must be happened in the defined numbers of candles.

Candlestick Channels [LuxAlgo]Candlestick Channels return channels whose extremities converge towards the price when a corresponding candlestick pattern is detected. This allows for us to obtain more reactive extremities in the presence of a cluster of candlestick patterns.
The detected candlestick patterns are also highlighted with labels on your chart automatically.
Settings
Trend Length: Period of the stochastic oscillator used to determine trend sentiment; this sentiment is used to detect certain candlestick patterns.
Convergence: Convergence percentage of the channel extremities used during the occurrence of a candlestick pattern. A lower value will return extremities converging more slowly toward the price.
Smooth: Determines the degree of smoothness of the channel extremities.
Patterns
This category determines which patterns are detected by the indicator. Patterns toggled off will not be detected and won't affect the channels.
Usage
Candlesticks patterns are commonly used by traders to detect potential reversals or continuation periods in the price. It can be of interest to use them as core elements in the calculation of more classical indicators, this can allow us to filter out potential false signals returned by candlestick patterns by shifting the source of interpretation towards the channel extremities instead.
In this indicator extremities converge towards the price when a corresponding pattern is detected. As such bullish patterns will make the upper extremity converge towards the price, facilitating a cross with price. Using a lower convergence percentage will require a greater number of patterns to make the extremity converge closer towards the price.
Users can use the channel like most indicators returning extremities, with an uptrend being detected when price cross over the upper extremity and a downtrend being detected when price cross under the lower extremity.
An approach solely making use of crosses between the price and the average line can be used but the user should expect further whipsaws signals.
Users can eventually use the candlestick patterns as entries and use the extremities for confirmation. For example, users can follow a candlestick pattern return an indication in accordance with the detected trend by the channels.
This approach would lead to the following of bullish patterns when they occur in an uptrend, that is when the price is above the average line (in orange). The same logic applies to bearish patterns.
The chart above highlights the candlesticks patterns in accordance with a detected trend.
Notes
- Bullish/Bearish engulfing patterns are turned off by default due their more frequent appearance.
- Candlestick patterns relying on gaps were not included, since they would be more uncommon in cryptocurrencies, thus leading to a disparity between the indicator performance on the cryptocurrency and stock market.
Price Action CandlesThis simple script provides a visual aid for price action traders by coloring outside & inside candles, which in effect leaves the trader with 6 possible candle colors:
-Regular bullish candle
-Outside bullish candle
-Inside bullish candle
-Regular bearish candle
-Outside bearish candle
-Inside bearish candle
These candlesticks may provide powerful signals when used in conjunction with key levels, market structure and chart patterns.
Make sure to disable the regular candlesticks (body, borders and wicks) in the symbol tab inside the configuration menu!
Hope it can help someone!
Constantly Applied Pressure Index (CAP index)BINANCE:ETHUSDT
The CAP index is my own homebrew trend indicator made to help traders see the slightly bigger picture, because we all know that as traders we can tend to hyper-focus in on a few candles and end up making a stupid trade because of it, or is it just me ? On a more serious note this indicator helps you find the short term trend by looking at bullish and bearish candles comparing their sizes, volumes and predominance.
The indicator has many technical settings for you to play around with but on the defaults it will render in a few colors which I will explain. Gray means no trend or that the current trend has died, bright green or red mean that a trend has formed, is playing out or that there is a good change a strong trend is about to form. Obviously green means bullish and red means bearish. Finally darker green and red mean a weak or weakening trend, this serves as a warning if you are about to take a trade in the trend direction.
The way I recommend using the indicator is the same way many trend indicators are used, as a filter to either a different indicator creating trading signals or to your own strategy's signals. I would add an illustration here that I prepared but I cannot because of tradingview's reputation rules
V Bottom & V Top Pattern [Misu]█ This indicator shows V bottom & V top patterns as well as potential V bottom & V top.
These V bottom & V top are chart powerful reversal patterns.
They appear in all markets and time-frames, but due to the nature of the aggressive moves that take place when a market reverses direction, it can be difficult to identify this pattern in real-time.
To address this problem, I added potential V pattern as well as the confirmed one.
█ Usages:
You can use V top & V bottoms for reversal zones.
You can use it for scalping strategies, as a main buy & sell signal.
Potential V patterns can be used to anticipate the market, in addition to volatility or momentum indicators, for example.
█ How it works?
This indicator uses pivot points to determine potential V patterns and confirm them.
Paramaters are available to filter breakouts of varying strengths.
Patterns also have a "max number bars" to be validated.
█ Why a Strategy type indicator?
Due to the many different parameters, this indicator is a strategy type.
This way you can overview the best settings depending on your pair & timeframe.
Parameters are available to filter.
█ Parameters:
Deviation: Parameter used to calculate parameters.
Depth: Parameter used to calculate parameters.
Confirmation Type: Type of signal used to confirme the pattern.
> Mid Pivot: pattern will confirm on mid pivot breakout.
> Opposit Pivot: pattern will confirm on opposit pivot breakout.
> No confirmation: no confirmation.
Lenght Avg Body: Lenght used to calculate the average body size.
First Breakout Factor: This factor multiplied by the "body avg" filters out the non-significant breakout of potential V pattern.
Confirmation Breakout Factor: This factor multiplied by the "body avg" filters out the non-significant breakout for the confirmation.
Max Bars Confirmation: The maximum number of bars needed to validate the pattern.
Mark StructureMark Structure is building the market swing structure, minor and sub structure and marks all possible insignificant pivots
Building such structure is really complex task to do, that has a lot of obstacles and challenges. I'm doing my best to develop this indicator behaving in absolutely expectable and right way. Fill free to leave any comments or bug reports.
it supports:
- Marking all pivots with labels or join them continuously with trend lines.
- Marking minor and sub structured swings with labels or join them continuously with trend lines. Marking BOS or SMS BOS, which are mbos. Minor and substructure are structures inside swing structure and it can differ from the structure of lower timeframe
- Marking swings of swing structure with labels or join them continuously with trend lines. Marking BOS or SMS BOS of swing structure
- Changing bullish and bearish colors of each kind of structures
- Changing pivot labelings
- Changing colors of BOSs
Remarks:
- As I told you guys before, it has a lot of challenging cases. eg we have swing low and high on the same candle and in order to decide which pivot goes first I take lower time frame data to figure out what pivot is the first, but it happens that on lower time frame the same issue takes place, due to limitation of TradingView I can't go infinitely to lower timeframes to solve this issue, so I mark those cases with labels
- Another issue is very beginning of the trend its hard to detect swing structure there due to missing historical data. so skip a few waves in the very beginning
- Don't expect to have minor and sub structure in each swing waves, its totally fine when you don't have them at all
- Swing structure is the most significant structure and shows real price direction. Trend change is confirmed when for bull->bear the last HLbull LH>HH and HH-HL-HH are confirmed. You can change labelling for unconfirmed swing trend in the settings. By default its already done
Mark FVGsMark FVGs is marking FVG (stands for Fair Value Gap, other name is Imbalance or IMB) on your chart so that you can instantly detect them
It supports:
- marking bullish and bearish partly filled or unfilled FVGs of the current timeframe
- marking bullish and bearish already filled FVGs of the current timeframe
- marking bullish and bearish FVGs of the any 4 timeframes on your current timeframe
technically it re-builds them on the last bar or as soon as new realtime bar is updated. it looks with 1k bars back to find the nearest specific number of FGVs
Adjustments:
- changing the maximum number of FVGs to display.
- changing the color of FVG area
- displaying already filled FVG of the current time frame
- changing the mode of displaying area it can either extended or fixed width
- displaying labels of other time frame FVGs
