Refracted EMA for trendThis script is an evolution of "Refracted EMA" by fract, that you can find here:
The differences are in the design and intended uses of its early and pretty reliable signals.
This is a trend indicator, with signals and alerts, usable on any timeframe.
Note: 3 color themes are included: Light, dark, and my personal dark one. Feel free to change them in the code, and to remove the ones you don't need.
HOW TO USE IT?
When it gives a signal (arrow), a horizontal line starts, and expands until there's a signal in the opposite direction.
As long as the price moves away from this line, then the move should logically be profitable
If the price ranges, or turns back in direction of the line, then it might be time to reconsider.
The background colors offer a complement of information:
- When the price moves away from the line, the bgcolor is normal.
- When there has been 2 candles in the opposite direction, then the bgcolor turns a little darker. It might be an early sign of range or reversal.
- When the current price breaks through the signal's closing price, the bgcolor turns gray or black (depending on the theme and colors you chose), signaling a significative divergence with the signal, and a possible reversal. It is common though, for the first candle after the signal to go in the opposite direction. It might be a good idea to wait at least 2 candles after the signal.
You can switch the alerts on, by right clicking the chart and clicking "add alert". Alerts happen only after the close of the candle. They display the timeframe they were added on.
TRICKS
- If up and down arrows alternate quickly, then the market is undecided, and it might not be a good idea to trade. Or maybe on other timeframes.
- Trading against the indicator's direction is probably not a good idea, unless there is a very VERY good reason for this (like buying the dip of an up trend, for ex).
- Looking at different timeframes quickly reveals the bigger picture of the price movements. For ex, if the 4h, 1h, 30 min are bullish, but the 5 min bearish, then there might be a long opportunity. But if the 5 min is bearish, and the 10 min turns bearish, and the 30 min turns bearish too, then there might be a reversal on its way.
- The line can be used as a reference to decide where to place your stop loss. It is rare that the price crosses this line, but it can absolutely happen. So use this idea with caution, manage and protect your positions wisely.
- You can, and probably should, use the alerts on different timeframes at the same time, to constantly update your understanding of the trend.
DO NOT BASE YOUR TRADING DECISIONS ON 1 SINGLE INDICATOR'S SIGNALS.
Always confirm your ideas by other means, like price action and indicators of a different nature.
K線分析
Degen IndicatorThis indicator uses candle patterns I have identified by studying cryptocurrency charts. The main goal is to help you tune out noise and price swings so you are better able to trade with the trend. If you can trade with the trend you will be profitable. Don’t fight the trend.

Orange T with Orange Bar - Top
Grey T - Weak Top
Orange P - Pause (Minimal pullback expected before additional upside)
Grey B - Weak Bottom
Green B - Possible Bottom
Blue B with Blue Bar - Likely Bottom
Grey D - Weak Dump
Pink D - Possible Dump
Red D - Likely Dump
Bar Colors:
Grey Green #699969 (Slightly Bullish)
Green #2ca02c (Bullish)
Bright Green #00ff00 (Strong Bullish)
Light Pink #cf6666 (Slightly Bearish)
Red #d62728 (Bearish)
Bright Red #ff0000 (Strong Bearish)
Orange Top #ff9800 (Local price maximum)
Blue Bottom #0066ff (Local price minimum)
Recommended Settings:
Change the Body and the Wick to be Grey. Deselect Border.
Purpose:
Making the default bar colors Grey will help you tune into the trend. Look for clusters of candles where only one non Grey color is present. If there are 3 - 5 or more of the same color also pay attention to the size of the candles. You can see the strength of the moves if they are growing or shrinking in size. Oftentimes a trend will end with an Engulfing Candle after a cluster of candles with the other color. Use this as a sign to exit your position and/or enter a new position.
Advice:
Start on HTF and find the clusters of Tops and Bottoms. Dial into lower timeframes to find the local Tops and Bottoms for entry points. Look for clusters of signals. Be ready for one candle to signify a change in the trend then look for confirmation with additional candles. Do not think about Tops or Bottoms as absolutes. A Top that gets beat with a Bullish Engulfing candle is telling you the Bullish strength is strong. Do not short Grey D’s. Do not long Grey B’s. As always, use these signals in conjunction with your other preferred methods of trading to find confluence and trade with the trend. On LTF this indicator will be very noisy. On HTF it will be more stable.
Logic:
Signals were developed by myself and subjected to extensive backtesting. Each signal uses various combinations of: candle names (Doji, Morning Star, Bearish Engulfing, Bullish Engulfing, etc), volume, price change as a percent, price change as an absolute number, length of the wick the open, close, high, and low candle values. The signals incorporate these values ranging from one candle prior to many candles prior attempting to predict the trend.
Logic not used:
Moving Averages, RSI, OBV, VPVR and Bollinger Bands.

█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?
The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.
What is the NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX (No-Nonsense Forex) trading system is a comprehensive approach to Forex trading that is designed to simplify the process and remove the confusion and complexity that often surrounds trading. The system was developed by a Forex trader who goes by the pseudonym "VP" and has gained a significant following in the Forex community.
The NNFX trading system is based on a set of rules and guidelines that help traders make objective and informed decisions. These rules cover all aspects of trading, including market analysis, trade entry, stop loss placement, and trade management.
Here are the main components of the NNFX trading system:
1. Trading Philosophy: The NNFX trading system is based on the idea that successful trading requires a comprehensive understanding of the market, objective analysis, and strict risk management. The system aims to remove subjective elements from trading and focuses on objective rules and guidelines.
2. Technical Analysis: The NNFX trading system relies heavily on technical analysis and uses a range of indicators to identify high-probability trading opportunities. The system uses a combination of trend-following and mean-reverting strategies to identify trades.
3. Market Structure: The NNFX trading system emphasizes the importance of understanding the market structure, including price action, support and resistance levels, and market cycles. The system uses a range of tools to identify the market structure, including trend lines, channels, and moving averages.
4. Trade Entry: The NNFX trading system has strict rules for trade entry. The system uses a combination of technical indicators to identify high-probability trades, and traders must meet specific criteria to enter a trade.
5. Stop Loss Placement: The NNFX trading system places a significant emphasis on risk management and requires traders to place a stop loss order on every trade. The system uses a combination of technical analysis and market structure to determine the appropriate stop loss level.
6. Trade Management: The NNFX trading system has specific rules for managing open trades. The system aims to minimize risk and maximize profit by using a combination of trailing stops, take profit levels, and position sizing.
Overall, the NNFX trading system is designed to be a straightforward and easy-to-follow approach to Forex trading that can be applied by traders of all skill levels.
Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Blau Ergodic Candlestick Index as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

█ GKD-C Blau Ergodic Candlestick Index
What is Blau Ergodic Candlestick Index?
The Blau Ergodic CSI-Oscillator is a technical analysis indicator developed by William Blau and described in his book “Momentum, Direction, and Divergence: Applying the Latest Momentum Indicators for Technical Analysis”. It is based on the Candlestick Index (CSI), which measures the difference between the current close price and the open price of a certain number of bars ago. The values of the CSI are normalized by the price range and mapped into the interval.
The Ergodic CSI-Oscillator is calculated using the following formula:
Ergodic_CSI(price1,price2,q,r,s,u) = CSI(price1,price2,q,r,s,u)
SignalLine(price1,price2,q,r,s,u,ul) = EMA(Ergodic_CSI(price1,price2,q,r,s,u),ul)
where:
- Ergodic_CSI(): Ergodic - Candlestick Index CSI(price1,price2,q,r,s,u)
- SignalLine(): Signal Line - exponentially smoothed moving average EMA(ul), applied to Ergodic
- ul: period of a signal line ¹.
The input parameters for this indicator are:
- q: number of bars used in calculation of Candlestick Momentum (default value is 1)
- r: period of the first EMA applied to Candlestick Momentum (default value is 20)
- s: period of the second EMA applied to result of the first smoothing (default value is 5)
- u: period of the third EMA applied to result of the second smoothing (default value is 3)
- ul: period of the Signal Line - EMA(ul), applied to Ergodic (default value is 3)
- AppliedPrice1: price type (default value is PRICE_CLOSE)
- AppliedPrice2: price type (default value is PRICE_OPEN) ¹.
I hope this information helps you understand what Blau Ergodic CSI-Oscillator is and how it works.

█ GKD-C Blau Candlestick Index
What is Blau Candlestick Index?
The Blau Candlestick Index (CSI) is a technical analysis indicator developed by William Blau and described in his book “Momentum, Direction, and Divergence: Applying the Latest Momentum Indicators for Technical Analysis”. It is based on the Candlestick Momentum Indicator, which measures the difference between the current close price and the open price of a certain number of bars ago. The values of the CSI are normalized by the price range and mapped into the interval ³.
The CSI is calculated using the following formula:
CSI(price1,price2,q,r,s,u) = 100 * CMtm(price1,price2,q,r,s,u) / EMA(EMA(EMA(HH(q)-LL(q),r),s),u)
where:
- price1: close price
- price2: open price q bars ago
- q: number of bars used in calculation of Candlestick Momentum
- cmtm(price1,price2,q): Candlestick Momentum
- CMtm(price1,price2,q,r,s,u): Triple smoothed Candlestick Momentum
- LL(q): lowest price of the q bars
- HH(q): highest price of the q bars
- EMA(...,r): first smoothing - exponentially smoothed moving average with period r, applied to Candlestick Momentum and q-period Price Range
- EMA(EMA(...,r),s): second smoothing - EMA of period s, applied to result of the first smoothing
- EMA(EMA(EMA(...,r),s),u): third smoothing - EMA of period u, applied to result of the second smoothing ³.
The input parameters for this indicator are:
- q: number of bars used in calculation of Candlestick Momentum (default value is 1)

GKD-C Blau Candlestick Momentum Indicator [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Blau Candlestick Momentum Indicator is a Confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?
The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.
What is the NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX (No-Nonsense Forex) trading system is a comprehensive approach to Forex trading that is designed to simplify the process and remove the confusion and complexity that often surrounds trading. The system was developed by a Forex trader who goes by the pseudonym "VP" and has gained a significant following in the Forex community.
The NNFX trading system is based on a set of rules and guidelines that help traders make objective and informed decisions. These rules cover all aspects of trading, including market analysis, trade entry, stop loss placement, and trade management.
Here are the main components of the NNFX trading system:
1. Trading Philosophy: The NNFX trading system is based on the idea that successful trading requires a comprehensive understanding of the market, objective analysis, and strict risk management. The system aims to remove subjective elements from trading and focuses on objective rules and guidelines.
2. Technical Analysis: The NNFX trading system relies heavily on technical analysis and uses a range of indicators to identify high-probability trading opportunities. The system uses a combination of trend-following and mean-reverting strategies to identify trades.
3. Market Structure: The NNFX trading system emphasizes the importance of understanding the market structure, including price action, support and resistance levels, and market cycles. The system uses a range of tools to identify the market structure, including trend lines, channels, and moving averages.
4. Trade Entry: The NNFX trading system has strict rules for trade entry. The system uses a combination of technical indicators to identify high-probability trades, and traders must meet specific criteria to enter a trade.
5. Stop Loss Placement: The NNFX trading system places a significant emphasis on risk management and requires traders to place a stop loss order on every trade. The system uses a combination of technical analysis and market structure to determine the appropriate stop loss level.
6. Trade Management: The NNFX trading system has specific rules for managing open trades. The system aims to minimize risk and maximize profit by using a combination of trailing stops, take profit levels, and position sizing.
Overall, the NNFX trading system is designed to be a straightforward and easy-to-follow approach to Forex trading that can be applied by traders of all skill levels.
Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Blau Candlestick Momentum Indicator as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

Price Action Oscillator with RSI--------- ENGLISH ---------
This oscillator combines the Price Action and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to help identify potential buy and sell signals in a market. The Price Action Oscillator measures the difference between the closing price and a 20-period moving average, and then normalizes this value by dividing it by the standard deviation of the closing price from the same moving average. The result is an oscillator that oscillates around zero, with positive values indicating that the closing price is above the moving average and negative values indicating the opposite. The oscillator is then normalized again to smooth out the curve.
The RSI is also calculated using a 14-period setting. The color of the oscillator line is determined by its normalized value and the RSI level. A green color is used for averaging values, black for values when the RSI is above 70, and red for values when the RSI is below 30. A dashed line is also plotted at the zero level to help identify potential buy and sell signals.
Traders can use this script to identify potential buy and sell signals based on the cross of the oscillator line with the zero line, as well as the color of the oscillator line. A buy signal may be identified when the oscillator line crosses above the zero line and is colored black, while a sell signal may be identified when the oscillator line crosses below the zero line and is colored red.
---------- ITALIAN -------------
Questo oscillatore combina l'oscillatore Price Action e l'Indice di Forza Relativa (RSI) per aiutare a identificare potenziali segnali di acquisto e vendita in un mercato. L'oscillatore Price Action misura la differenza tra il prezzo di chiusura e una media mobile a 20 periodi, e poi normalizza questo valore dividendo la differenza per la deviazione standard della chiusura dalla stessa media mobile. Il risultato è un oscillatore che oscilla intorno allo zero, con valori positivi che indicano che il prezzo di chiusura è sopra la media mobile e valori negativi che indicano il contrario. L'oscillatore viene poi nuovamente normalizzato per levigare la curva.
L'RSI viene anche calcolato utilizzando una configurazione a 14 periodi. Il colore della linea dell'oscillatore è determinato dal suo valore normalizzato e dal livello RSI. Viene utilizzato il colore verde per i valori medi, nero per i valori quando l'RSI è superiore al 70 e rosso per i valori quando l'RSI è inferiore al 30. Viene anche disegnata una linea tratteggiata a livello dello zero per aiutare a identificare potenziali segnali di acquisto e vendita.
I trader possono utilizzare questo script per identificare potenziali segnali di acquisto e vendita in base all'incrocio della linea dell'oscillatore con la linea dello zero, nonché al colore della linea dell'oscillatore. Un segnale di acquisto può essere identificato quando la linea dell'oscillatore incrocia sopra la linea dello zero e viene colorata di nero, mentre un segnale di vendita può essere identificato quando la linea dell'oscillatore incrocia sotto la linea dello zero e viene colorata di rosso.
Rangemeter [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator simply displays candle and peak to trough ranges in points or pips, depending on the symbol type, in a table, which can be repositioned and resized at the user's discretion.
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a close price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a close price that is lower than the price it opened.
Open Green and Red Candles
• An open green candle is one that has a close price equal to or above the price it opened, but has not yet closed to confirm the condition.
• An open red candle is one that has a close price lower than the price it opened, but has not yet closed to confirm the condition.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Peak and Trough Prices (Basic)
• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Range
The range is simply the difference between the current peak and current trough prices, generally expressed in terms of points or pips.
Open Range
An open range is here defined as one that is forming but has not yet completed. For example, a swing low that has an open green candle proceeding a red candle or series of red candles. Or a swing high that has an open red candle proceeding a green candle or series of green candles.
The table will only display the open range under the aforementioned circumstances, otherwise it will display the current, or previous, range.

█ HOW TO USE
The indicator can be used for strategy filtering and development, gauging current market conditions versus historic and helping to make more informed discretionary trading decisions. It can also be used like my Wavemeter indicator to objectively set the angle and projection ratio for my Fan Projections and Parallel Projections indicators.
█ LIMITATIONS
Some higher timeframe candles on tickers with larger lookbacks such as the DXY , do not actually contain all the open, high, low and close (OHLC) data at the beginning of the chart. Instead, they use the close price for open, high and low prices. So, while we can determine whether the close price is higher or lower than the preceding close price, there is no way of knowing what actually happened intra-bar for these candles. And by default candles that close at the same price as the open price, will be counted as green. You can avoid this problem by ensuring the lookback for the average range does not reach as far back as the start of the chart. If you are unsure about the candle count you can use my Candle Counter indicator to find out how many candles are displayed on the chart.
The green and red candle calculations are based solely on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with. Alternatively, you can replace the scenarios with your own logic to account for the gap anomalies, if you are feeling up to the challenge.
It is also worth noting that the lookback will be limited to your Trading View subscription plan. Premium users get 20,000 candles worth of data, pro+ and pro users get 10,000, and basic users get 5,000.
Intra-Candles*For use with <=24 hour Hollow Candles *
Indicator for more informative candle plotting. Select from 2-6 lower timeframe candles and view the price action of the lower bars within the normal chart's candles. Plotting short time frame candles with a semi-transparent body lets you see reversals that occurred during the larger candle's formation.

Candle Counter [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator counts the number of confirmed candle scenarios on any given candlestick chart and displays the statistics in a table, which can be repositioned and resized at the user's discretion.
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
A green candle is one that closes with a high price equal to or above the price it opened.
A red candle is one that closes with a low price that is lower than the price it opened.
Upper Candle Trends
A higher high candle is one that closes with a higher high price than the high price of the preceding candle.
A lower high candle is one that closes with a lower high price than the high price of the preceding candle.
A double-top candle is one that closes with a high price that is equal to the high price of the preceding candle.
Lower Candle Trends
A higher low candle is one that closes with a higher low price than the low price of the preceding candle.
A lower low candle is one that closes with a lower low price than the low price of the preceding candle.
A double-bottom candle is one that closes with a low price that is equal to the low price of the preceding candle.

Table
The table is colour coded, consists of three columns and twenty-two rows. Blue cells denote all candle scenarios, green cells denote green candle scenarios and red cells denote red candle scenarios.
The candle scenarios are listed in the first column with their corresponding total counts to the right, in the second column. The last row in column one, row twenty-two, displays the sample period which can be adjusted or hidden via indicator settings.
Rows two and three in the third column of the table display the total green and red candles as percentages of total candles. Rows four to nine in column three, coloured blue, display the corresponding candle scenarios as percentages of total candles. Rows ten to fifteen in column three, coloured green, display the corresponding candle scenarios as percentages of total green candles. And lastly, rows sixteen to twenty-one in column three, coloured red, display the corresponding candle scenarios as percentages of total red candles.
Plots
I have added plots as a visual aid to the various candle scenarios listed in the table. Green up-arrows denote higher high candles when above bar and higher low candles when below bar. Red down-arrows denote lower high candles when above bar and lower low candles when below bar. Similarly, blue diamonds when above bar denote double-top candles and when below bar denote double-bottom candles. These plots can also be hidden via indicator settings.
█ HOW TO USE
This indicator is intended for research purposes and strategy development. I hope it will be useful in helping to gain a better understanding of the underlying dynamics at play on any given market and timeframe. It can, for example, give you an idea of any inherent biases such as a greater proportion of green candles to red. Or a greater proportion of higher low green candles to lower low green candles. Such information can be very useful when conducting top down analysis across multiple timeframes, or considering trailing stop loss methods.
What you do with these statistics and how far you decide to take your research is entirely up to you, the possibilities are endless.
This is just the first and most basic in a series of indicators that can be used to study objective price action scenarios and develop a systematic approach to trading.
█ LIMITATIONS
Some higher timeframe candles on tickers with larger lookbacks such as the DXY, do not actually contain all the open, high, low and close (OHLC) data at the beginning of the chart. Instead, they use the close price for open, high and low prices. So, while we can determine whether the close price is higher or lower than the preceding close price, there is no way of knowing what actually happened intra-bar for these candles. And by default candles that close at the same price as the open price, will be counted as green. You can avoid this problem by utilising the sample period filter.
The green and red candle calculations are based solely on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with. Alternatively, you can replace the scenarios with your own logic to account for the gap anomalies, if you are feeling up to the challenge.
It is also worth noting that the sample size will be limited to your Trading View subscription plan. Premium users get 20,000 candles worth of data, pro+ and pro users get 10,000, and basic users get 5,000. If upgrading is currently not an option, you can always keep a rolling tally of the statistics in an excel spreadsheet or something of the like.
MTF Candle [Pt]The Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Candle Tool is a powerful indicator designed for traders who wish to analyze standard candle bars and Heikin Ashi candles of multiple timeframes simultaneously. This tool is ideal for traders who prefer to trade in higher timeframes while keeping a close eye on the lower timeframes for confirmation signals. The indicator works by overlaying standard candle bars or Heikin Ashi candles of a higher timeframe onto the current chart. This allows traders to quickly switch between the current timeframe and the higher timeframe, without having to switch charts.
Features
- Live, real time updating MTF candle
- Custom colors
- Heikin Ashi candle
- Heikin Ashi Inside bar highlight
Cloud Bunching [5ema]Reused some functions from (i believe made by):
©paaax: The table position function.
@QuantNomad: The function calculated value and array screener for 40+ instruments .
How it uses:
Gives signal when the cloud is bunching with ratio smaller than the set ratio and the close price breaking out the cloud.
Track 40 different symbols, on any timeframe to follow and alert.
When a symbol has a signal, it will display on the chart and send an alert.
How it works:
The cloud created by 5 EMA (20, 50, 200, 460, 610). Upper Cloud is max EMA , Lower Cloud is min EMA . Center line is averange (5 EMA )
If the ratio upper / lower < input bunching (%) -> change color of cloud.
Get the signal if: the close price break out cloud (with bar is shooting, or hammer ,...) and high volume (or not).
With another symbols (max 40 ) also use that function with any time frame. By request.security() and array function.
How it setting:
Change the bunching rate (%) of the clouds for any symbols.
Change the percentage (%) of the close price that breaks out of the bunching cloud.
Choose volume condition.
Show or turn off the cloud, table.
Select the symbol to follow.
Choose a timeframe to follow other symbols.

Remove Hodler [5ema]How it inputs:
Select the timframe to check.
Input the number of bars lookback (or the number of bars corresponding to the selected timeframe)
Input the percentage of change of the price during that time.
Input the number of shotting bars.
Input the symbols want to follow.
How it works:
Calculate the number of shotting bars on the number bars lookback.
Calculate rate of change (with high, low price).
How it uses:
If the returned result is less than the input values (number shooting bars, the price change percentage). A buy signal will be given.
The same calculation applies to the symbols in the input list to monitor and return the results to the table on the chart and send notifications.
I reused some functions, made by (i believe that):
@everget : The table position function.
©paaax : The RSI divergence function.
@QuantNomad : The function calculated value and array to show on table for input symbols.
I have commented in my code. Thanks so much!

Break Levels – Peaks and Valleys – Market StructureDescription
An experimental script, designed as a visual aid, to highlight two consecutive green candles after a red candle, and two consecutive red candles after a green candle. We can assume these formations to be potential candidates as an origin of a peak and valley. The highest point of the 1st red candle and lowest point of the 1st green candle is to be considered as break levels.
How to use
Expect attacks/tests or a break of these levels in the future. A solid break through these levels may produce a potential retest in the opposite direction. The greater the number of times a zone is tested, the more likely it is to break.
By using them as reference points, traders are expected to follow their own set of rules and mark higher probability supply and demand zones in the area.
Alerts are added for either a candle close or wick through the levels. For the alerts the script only trails the latest high and low break levels.
This can be used as an alternative to those who use fractals for market structure.
Indicator in use
Buying and Selling Pressure Raw Multi (TG Fork)Visualize raw buying and selling pressure via 3 different calculation methods, all superimposed with dynamic rescaling.
Buying and selling pressure is the concept of quantifying the disproportion between buying and selling. In practice, there is no single definitive way to calculate it.
This indicator is a merge to display three different methods to calculate buying and selling pressure, with automatic visual rescaling to superimpose the three simultaneously, updated to PineScript v5, and with some additional improvements for speed and calculation precisions, and instead of the EMA, other types of moving averages can be used.
I primarily made it for my own needs, but as always, I like sharing with the community, as maybe others may find this useful too.
How to use:
* As often, the goal is to get as many of the 3 signals concur together to get a stronger aggregated signal.
* First signal: If the green bars on the histogram are bigger than the red ones, then there is more buying pressure, and vice versa.
* Second signal: If the background is green, there is more buying pressure, and vice versa if the background is orange. The yellow and green lines define the background color, but they are by default hidden for a less cluttered visual experience.
* Third signal: If the cloud is blue, there is more buying pressure, and the bigger the cloud, the more momentum there is for it to stay (and more difficult it is to reverse to selling pressure). If the cloud is red, there is more selling pressure.
If you like this indicator, please don't give me any credit, instead please show some love to the original authors (in no particular order):

DojiCandle body size RSI-SMMA filter MTF
DojiCandle body size RSI-SMMA filter MTF
Hi. I was inspired by a public script written by @ahmedirshad419, .
I thank him for his idea and hard work.
His script is the combination of RSI and Engulfing Pattern.
//------------------------------------------------------------
I decided to tweak it a bit with Open IA.
I have changed:
1) candle pattern to DojiCandle Pattern;
2) I added the ability for the user to change the size of the candlestick body;
3) Added SMMA 200;
4) Changed the colour of SMMA 200 depending on price direction;
5) Added a change in the colour of candlesticks, depending on the colour of the SMMA 200;
6) Added buy and sell signals with indicator name, ticker and close price;
7) Added ability to use indicator on multi time frame.
How it works
1. when RSI > 70 > SMMA 200 and form the bullish DojiCandle Pattern. It gives sell signal
2. when RSI < 30 < SMMA 200 and form the bearish DojiCandle Pattern. It gives buy signal
settings:
basic setting for RSI, SMMA 200 has been enabled in the script to set the levels accordingly to your trades
Enjoy
Pin Candle DetectionPin candles are a variation of hammer candles that are useful in technical analysis . In particular, when combined with volume profile studies, they can be a powerful set up for long entries or other decision making.
For example, when looking at volume profiles, a long entry would be a fair value area (i.e. 40%) below the close of a pin candle. When combined with a support level , the set up is stronger.
While most scripts look for hammer candles, pin candles are somewhat different in that the length of the wick is significant.
This script and its parameters was built for ES futures 15 min chart in mind.
This script is unique in that it allows for the below parameters to be adjusted to suit other instruments and timeframes:
1. Fib level: Candle must close within a certain retracement level). My preference is 0.55. Some traders like 0.5, while others prefer 0.33
2. Wick length: Pin candles differ from pure hammers in that the length of the wick must be significant. My preference is 7 points on ES (as in $ and not ticks)
Add this script to your alerts to no longer miss these set ups.

2U2DFlipHappy to contribute to the community request for indicators that TheStrat community find useful, I have published the requested 2U/2D flip indicator with built in 'alert' feature.
Adding this indicator to your chart will allow you to use the awesome Tradingview 'alert' functionality to register an alerts when either of these two conditions are true:
- When the candle colour of TheStrat 2U green candle turns RED
- When the candle colour of TheStrat 2D red candle turns GREEN
The significance of this event is an indication that price might have reversed and is more applicable on higher timeframes .
Explanation of 'TheStrat' trading technique
‘TheStrat’ technique works off the basis of labelling whether the focus candle did or did not break any of the previous candles high or low values. There are three possible label definitions; either a 1 candle, 2 candle or a 3 candle.
1 bar (inside) - If price movement on the new candle remains within the high and low of previous candle.
3 bar (outside) – If price movement went above both the high and the low of the previous candle.
2 bar (directional) – If price movement only broke with the high (called a 2-up) or if price movement only broke the low of the previous candle (called a 2-down).
How does the indicator work?
This indicator will allow the user to be alerted when this colour change happens on any ticker and timeframe you have added the indicator to and then register an alert. The key decisions are which TICKER and which TIMEFRAME to register the alert. It will alert for both these conditions within the single alert.
When a registered alert is running it will continually monitor for these conditions and once per bar it will immediately generate the alert notification using the existing built-in TradingView alert feature. This indicator is not market or timeframe specific, in fact this alerting indicator can be used to register alerts on multiple tickers and timeframes simultaneously.
Example of how to use the indicator
Assume you are interested in being alerted for any colour changing candle on AAPL on the 30min timeframe. You would simply go to that chart (APPL on 30 min), add '2U2DFlip' indicator to the chart, then using the built-in TradingView - 'Create Alert' feature to register the alert that will listening to '2U2DFlip' indicator monitored events. In this example the alert will specifically trigger if it finds a 2U candle turning red or a 2D candle turning green and sends the alert allowing you to jump to the chart to review.
Description of the script
The script defines two conditions that incorporate the specific definition of TheStrat 2U and 2D candles, meaning, that in relation to the previous candle it only 'broke' one side of the previous candle and then adds another condition that monitors if the colour changes (close > open) of the current candle.
How is this useful to a trader?
The 2U and 2D candles are known as 'directional' candles in TheStrat community so the fact that a directional candle has 'changed' direction is a significant indication of a reversal. When this event happens a trader would be notified and is in a position to determine if a reversal play might be in order.
Note to moderators
This code is my own code, based on my other popular indicators. It encompasses the definitions of TheStrat community and trading style and was requested by the community users that trade using TheStrat technique. The reason for the source being protected is that it contains my own method of defining TheStrat and source code of my paid indicator.
Good Luck with trading and I hope this indicator helps to increase the profitability of your portfolio. Happy Trading.
Vector MACDCalculates five vector moving averages of different periods and averages them.
Origin moving average is ALMA from the mid point of the candles (hl2.)
Vector moving averages are the difference between Hull Moving Averages and the Origin MA.
It is a momentum indicator that shows when long term and short term trends agree with the move. It moves stronger, when all the vectors point to the same direction.
Look for divergence to detect trend changes.
Cuck WickAcknowledgement
This indicator is dedicated to my friend Alexandru who saved me from one of these scam cuck wicks which almost liquidated me.
Alexandru is one of the best scalpers out there and he always nails his entries at the tip of these wicks.
This inspired me to create this indicator.
What's a cuck wick?
It's that fast stop-hunting wick that cucks everyone by triggering their stop-loss and liquidation.
Liquidity is the lifeblood of stock market and liquidation is the process that moves price.
This indicator will identify when a liquidity pool is getting raided to trigger buy or sell stops, they are also know as stop-hunts.
How does it work?
When market consolidates in one direction, it builds up liquidity zones.
Market maker will break out of these consolidation phases by having dramatic price action to either pump or dump to raid these liquidity zones.
This is also called stop-hunts or liquidity raids. After that it will start reversing back to the opposite direction.
This is most noticeable by the length of the wick of a given candle in a very short amount of time and the total size of the candle.
This indicator highlights them accordingly.
Settings
Wick and Candle ratio works with default values but finetune will enhance user experience and usability.
Wick Ratio: Size of the wick compared to body of a candle.
Adjust this to higher ratio on smaller timeframe or smaller ratio on bigger timeframe to your trading style to spot a trend reversal.
Candle Ratio: The size of the candle, by default it is 0.75% of the current price.
For example, if BTC is at 20,000 then the size of the candle has to be minimum 150.
This can be fine tuned to bigger candle size on higher time frames or smaller for shorter timeframe depending on the trade type.
How to use it?
This indicator will identify when a liquidity pool is getting raided to trigger buy or sell stops, they are also know as stop-hunts. It can be used of its own for scalping but there are also a good few indicators which would most definitely help to confluence bigger timeframe trades.
Scalp
This indicator shows the most chaotic moments in price action; therefore it works best on smaller timeframes, ideally 3 or 5 minute candle.
- Wait for the market to start pumping or dumping.
- Current candle will change colour (Bullish/Bearish).
- Enter trade as soon as price starts to reverse back.
- Place the stop-loss outside of the current candle.
- Wait for the cuck wick to appear as confirmation.
Price is very chaotic during a liquidity stop-hunt raid but there is a saying:
"In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity" - Sun-Tzu
Since this is a very high risk, high reward strategy; it is advised to practice on paper trade first.
Practice until perfection and this indicator would be the perfect bread and butter scalp confirmation.
Fair Value Gap
FVG strategy is the most accurate in conjunction with this indicator.
Normally price would reverse after consuming fair value gaps but often it's difficult to know when and where.
This indicator would identify those crucial entry points for reverse course direction of the price action.
Support and Resistance
This indicator can also be used in conjunction with support and resistance lines.
Generally the cuck will go deep below the support or spike much further up the resistance lines to liquidate positions.
Bollinger Bands
Bolling Bands strategy would be to wait until the price breaks out of the band.
Once the wick is formed, it would be an ideal entry point.
Script change
This is an open-source script and feel free to modify according to your need and to amplify your existing strategy.

Engulfing Pinbar [serkany88]This is an experimental candlestick pattern that combines pinbars and engulfing patterns as my own implementation. These signals can be used as a possible reversal points based on timeframe used or set wick size. Of course these signals should never be used on their own but rather can be used as another confluence of possible entry signal.
Functional and Manual alerts provided with simple and clean code.
TLDR: Use as a possible reversal point for your entries in combination with your trend and volatility filters. Green means possible bullish move, Red means possible bearish move.
