🔍 Overview
S&R Zones MTF is a professional-grade yet beginner-friendly indicator that dynamically plots Support & Resistance zones across multiple timeframes, helping traders recognize high-probability reversal areas, entry confirmations, and price reaction points.
This tool visualizes structured zones as colored boxes, allowing both new and experienced traders to analyze multi-timeframe confluence with ease and clarity.
🧠 What Is This Indicator?
S&R Zones MTF automatically detects the most significant support and resistance levels from up to four custom timeframes, using a configurable lookback period. These zones are displayed as colored horizontal boxes directly on the chart, making it easy to:
Spot where price has historically reacted
Identify potential reversal or breakout zones
Confirm entries with institutional-style precision
🛠️ Key Features
✅ Multi-Timeframe Zone Detection (up to 4 timeframes)
📦 Auto Plotted Boxes for Support (Blue) & Resistance (Pink)
🧱 Dynamic Height based on average price range or fixed input
🏷️ Timeframe Labels to instantly identify zone origin
🎛️ Customizable inputs: Lookback length, box color, height style
🔁 Real-time updates as price structure changes
🎓 Educational & Easy to Use
Whether you’re a new trader learning about price structure, or a professional applying institutional concepts, this tool offers an educational layout to understand:
How price respects historic zones
Why multi-timeframe zones offer stronger confluence
How to use zones for entry, exit, or risk placement
📈 How to Use (Multi-Timeframe Strategy)
Select Your Timeframes – Customize up to 4 higher timeframes (e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h).
Observe Overlapping Zones – When multiple timeframes agree, those zones are more significant.
Entry Confirmation – Wait for price to reach a zone, then look for reversal patterns (engulfing candle, pin bar, etc.)
Combine with Other Tools – Use alongside indicators like RSI, MACD, or Order Blocks for added confidence.
💡 Pro Tips
Zones from higher timeframes (1H, 4H) are often more powerful and reliable.
Confluence matters: If a 15m support zone aligns with a 1H support zone — that's a high-probability reaction area.
Use break-and-retest strategies with zone rejections for sniper entries.
Enable "Auto Height" for a more adaptive, volatility-based zone display.
🌟 Summary
S&R Zones MTF blends precision, clarity, and professional analysis into a visual structure that’s easy to understand. Whether you're learning support & resistance or optimizing your MTF edge — this tool will bring clarity to your charts and confidence to your trades.

Price action + MA + MTF RSI + S/R Zones by GunjanPanditDescription:
This script combines multiple powerful trading tools into a unified indicator designed for trend-following and confirmation-based entries. It is built to assist traders in identifying actionable signals based on price structure, volatility, and momentum across multiple timeframes.
🔧 How It Works
✅ UT Bot Core Logic
The script uses a variation of the UT Bot (Ultimate Trend Bot) method to generate buy/sell signals.
Signals are based on ATR-filtered trailing stop levels to reduce noise and detect real trend changes.
A Buy is triggered when the price closes above the UT trailing stop.
A Sell is triggered when the price closes below it.
✅ Multi-Timeframe RSI Confirmation
RSI is calculated on a user-defined higher timeframe (default: 1 hour).
A buy signal is confirmed only if RSI is below the oversold level, and vice versa for sell signals.
This confirmation layer adds an extra filter to improve signal reliability and reduce whipsaws.
✅ Support & Resistance Zones (MTF)
The script automatically plots dynamic support and resistance zones using highs/lows from the selected higher timeframe.
These zones are visualized as shaded bands, helping users recognize key levels where price may reverse or consolidate.
✅ Visual Aids & Alerts
Buy and Sell signals are clearly labeled on the chart.
Optional RSI plot in a separate pane for visual monitoring.
Real-time alert conditions included for both Buy and Sell entries.
📈 Use Case & Recommendations
This script is best suited for:
Swing trading or intraday strategies in trending markets.
Traders who want confirmation across timeframes to filter noise.
Spotting key entry zones aligned with momentum and volatility.
Recommended to use in combination with:
Volume or trend structure analysis.
Stop-loss and take-profit risk management based on ATR or S/R zones.
inal Thoughts
This indicator is ideal for traders who value:
Multi-timeframe analysis
Visual clarity
Signal confirmation
And clean, customizable overlays for actionable trading insights.
BE-Indicator Aggregator toolkit█ Overview:
BE-Indicator Aggregator toolkit is a toolkit which is built for those we rely on taking multi-confirmation from different indicators available with the traders. This Toolkit aid's traders in understanding their custom logic for their trade setups and provides the summarized results on how it performed over the past.
█ How It Works:
Load the external indicator plots in the indicator input setting
Provide your custom logic for the trade setup
Set your expected SL & TP values
█ Legends, Definitions & Logic Building Rules:
Building the logic for your trade setup plays a pivotal role in the toolkit, it shall be broken into parts and toolkit aims to understand each of the logical parts of your setup and interpret the outcome as trade accuracy.
Toolkit broadly aims to understand 4 types of inputs in "Condition Builder"
Comments : Line which starts with single quotation ( ' ) shall be ignored by toolkit while understanding the logic.
Note: Blank line space or less than 3 characters are treated equally to comments.
Long Condition: Line which starts with " L- " shall be considered for identifying Long setups.
Short Condition: Line which starts with " S- " shall be considered for identifying Short setups.
Variables: Line which starts with " VAR- " shall be considered as variables. Variables can be one such criteria for Long or short condition.
Building Rules: Define all variables first then specify the condition. The usual declare and assign concept of programming. :p)
Criteria Rules: Criteria are individual logic for your one parent condition. multiple criteria can be present in one condition. Each parameter should be delimited with ' | ' key and each criteria should be delimited with ' , ' (Comma with a space - IMPORTANT!!!)
█ Sample Codes for Conditional Builder:
For Trading Long when Open = Low
For Trading Short when Open = High with a Red candle
'Long Setup <---- Comment

Gold vs DXYThe 30-day rolling correlation between Gold (XAU/USD) and the US Dollar Index (DXY) shows how closely the two move together — or more often, in opposite directions — over the last 30 trading days. In most market environments, the relationship is pretty straightforward: when the dollar goes up, gold tends to go down, and vice versa. That’s because gold is priced in dollars, so a stronger dollar makes it more expensive for international buyers, which usually softens demand.
But it’s not always that simple. There are times when this inverse correlation breaks down. For example, if real yields (like the US 10-year yield minus inflation expectations) are rising, that can pressure gold even if the dollar is falling — because higher real returns elsewhere make gold less attractive. Another case is when other currencies, like the euro or yen, rally strongly on their own central bank decisions. This can pull DXY lower without necessarily signaling weakness in the U.S. economy — meaning gold might not benefit much.
There are also “risk-on” moments where investors rotate into equities or crypto, selling off both gold and the dollar in favor of yield or momentum. And during periods of crisis or uncertainty, both gold and the dollar can rise together as safe-haven assets, breaking the usual pattern entirely.
That’s why tracking the rolling correlation is helpful. It shows whether the historical relationship between gold and the dollar is still holding — or if we’re entering a different market regime. It’s not about predicting exact price moves, but about understanding the current backdrop. When gold and DXY are moving out of sync as expected, it can support your trade thesis. But when the correlation flattens or flips, it’s often a sign to dig deeper — macro forces may be shifting.
Mental Reminder# Mental Reminder - Trading Psychology Overlay
## 🧠 Why This Indicator Matters
Trading success isn't just about technical analysis - it's about psychology. The biggest enemy of profitable trading is often our own emotions and impulses. This indicator serves as your constant mental anchor, displaying personalized reminders that keep you focused on what truly matters.
## 💡 Core Purpose
**Combat Emotional Trading**
Every trader knows the feeling - you see a price movement and your emotions take over. This overlay keeps your trading rules and mindset visible at all times, acting as a psychological brake against impulsive decisions.
**Reinforce Discipline**
Whether it's "Wait for confirmation", "Risk management first", or "The market will always be here tomorrow" - having your key principles constantly visible helps internalize good trading habits.
**Maintain Patience**
In a world of instant gratification, successful trading requires patience. A simple "Let the setup come to you" reminder can prevent countless premature entries and exits.
## 🎯 Real Trading Applications
- **Pre-market reminder**: "Review your plan" before market open
- **During drawdowns**: "Trust the process" or "Losses are part of the game"
- **In volatile markets**: "Stay calm" or "Stick to your strategy"
- **During winning streaks**: "Don't get overconfident" or "Risk management still matters"
- **FOMO moments**: "There will always be another trade"
## 🔄 The Psychology Behind Visual Reminders
Studies show that visual cues are more effective than trying to remember rules mentally. When you're in the heat of trading, emotions can cloud judgment. A constant visual reminder cuts through the emotional noise and brings you back to your planned approach.
**Why Fixed Position Works**
Unlike annotations that move with price, this reminder stays in your peripheral vision - always there, never intrusive, but impossible to ignore when you need it most.
Your trading edge isn't just your strategy - it's your ability to execute it consistently. This simple tool helps bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it.
🟡🔵🟢🔴Beginner's Assistant by carljchapman🟡🔵🟢🔴
Overview
This indicator dynamically marks highs and lows of the premarket (4:00am-9:30amEST) and opening range. It displays Fair Value Gaps, 9 and 21 period Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) and the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). To really help beginners, it marks suggested entry points on the chart with green or red triangles, when a reasonable trend appears.
Features
Automatically draws blue lines for Premarket High and Low values
Dynamically marks the opening Range region
Visual entry signals for long and short opportunities
Primarily used for stocks/funds , but works with forex and crypto
Quick configuration settings to tailor details for your experience level
Mobile friendly mode
Supports alerts
How To Use
Open your chart, and select a 1 or 2 minute timeframe.
Watch for green triangles and red triangles, hinting at entries for long or short positions. Pay particular attention to the price action as it approaches the bounds of the opening range and the premarket levels. As with any indicator, confirmation is helpful. I personally use MACD to confirm the direction of each probable trend.
For scalping 0dte contracts: You should switch very often between 1 and 2 min timeframes and look carefully for quality entry opportunities. TP (take profit) quickly with gains of 15% or more until you develop and refine your own strategy and risk management. Beginners like to see profit; just remember that a small profit is better than what could quickly become a large loss!
What makes this indicator so beginner friendly?
Charts with too many lines and colors are are a nightmare for beginners! And empty charts do not tell the whole story. Simple checkboxes in the configuration settings let you turn on and off features to match your comfort level. As you become more familiar you might try turning off the suggested entries to see if you would have selected the same or better ones yourself. Just one example of how you will learn and verify your knowledge. You will quickly spot Opening Range Breakouts and more.
Why are the triangle pointers not simply above or below the bars?
As a beginner, I like to review charts and see how much the price changed, to estimate how much a contract would move based on its delta. A mouthful, I know. But what price does an arrow pointing up below a bar reflect? Would I have entered at the open or close, low or high? This indicator helps by putting the marker close to the price when indicated. It can even display the actual price on the bar. This is helpful for you to make fast calculations without a measuring tool.
I am an experienced trader. Can this help me make winning trades?
Sure. It can also help you make losing trades! Profit is never guaranteed with any indicator or strategy. This indicator is designed to assist as you learn and trade. You won't see the words BUY or SELL. This is not a signal bot! It is merely a tool to assist you. You can learn a lot by just observing price movement while using this indicator without making a single trade.

The Macro Nexus Model (MNM) is a sophisticated, next-generation oscillator engineered to synthesise the intricate dynamics of the global financial system into an actionable signal. Where traditional indicators are limited to price action, the MNM provides a quantitative measure of the underlying macro forces driving assets like Bitcoin.
Key Features:
Dynamic & Regime-Aware: Unlike static indicators, the MNM is built on a dynamic engine that identifies the prevailing market regime. It understands that the factors driving the market during periods of expansion are fundamentally different from those that matter during systemic contractions.
Intelligent, Self-Adjusting Weights: At its core, the MNM analyses a diverse basket of global macro inputs—including global growth indicators, credit spreads, central bank liquidity, and safe-haven flows. The indicator's proprietary engine continuously and smoothly adjusts the importance of each of these factors based on its real-time assessment of the global risk environment.
The Macro Trend Line: The final output is a single, smoothed line representing the net macro pressure on risk assets. A positive value indicates a supportive, expansionary environment, while a negative value signals a contractionary environment where caution is warranted.
Automated Divergence Detection: The MNM automatically identifies and plots powerful bullish and bearish divergences between the macro trend and price, providing clear, early warnings of potential market tops and bottoms.
The Macro Nexus Model is more than an indicator; it is a sophisticated dashboard for quantifying the primary forces driving the market. Use it to elevate your analysis, gain a decisive edge, and make more informed, data-driven decisions.
HMA Trend Line (Croc Signal Line)HMA Trend Line (Croc Signal Line) — The Ultimate Hull Moving Average Trend Indicator
Full English description here:
What is the HMA Trend Line (Croc Signal Line)?
The HMA Trend Line (Croc Signal Line) is a powerful, adaptive trend indicator for TradingView, based on the Hull Moving Average (HMA). This indicator is designed to help traders identify real market trends with less lag and reduced noise compared to traditional moving averages like SMA (Simple Moving Average) and EMA (Exponential Moving Average).
Why use the HMA Trend Line?
+ Faster Trend Detection: The Hull Moving Average (HMA) responds more quickly to price action, giving you earlier buy and sell signals.
+ Smoother and Cleaner: It provides a visually clean trend line that avoids the choppiness of classic EMAs and SMAs.
+ Reduced Lag: The HMA Trend Line follows the market closer, helping you avoid late entries or exits and spot trend reversals sooner.
+ Dynamic Support and Resistance: Use the line as a dynamic support or resistance to manage trades and identify pullbacks or breakouts.
What does “Croc Signal Line” mean?
The “Croc” in Croc Signal Line stands for:
+ Clean
+ Responsive
+ Optimized
+ Curve
This highlights the unique advantage of this indicator: a curve that is both fast-reacting and smooth, helping traders focus on real trends and filter out market noise.
How does the Hull Moving Average (HMA) work?
The HMA was developed by Alan Hull and uses weighted moving averages and a unique calculation to deliver both responsiveness and smoothness. Unlike standard moving averages, the HMA reacts faster to new price moves and avoids false signals in ranging or volatile markets.
How to use the HMA Trend Line (Croc Signal Line) on TradingView?
+ Watch for price crossing above the trend line for potential bullish signals, and below for bearish signals.
+ Use on any timeframe: from 1-minute scalping to daily, weekly, or even monthly charts.
+ Works with all asset classes: Forex, stocks, indices, cryptocurrencies, commodities, and futures.
+ Combine with other indicators (like Stochastics, RSI, or volume) for confirmation and to build your unique trading strategy.
+ Adjust the Signal Line Period for your market and style: shorter periods for faster markets, longer for smoother trends.
Who should use this indicator?
+ Day traders, swing traders, and long-term investors looking for reliable, actionable trend signals.
+ Anyone seeking a cleaner, more responsive alternative to the classic moving averages.
+ Traders who want a simple, visually clear way to filter out market noise and see real price direction.

Durdens Global M2 Liquidity Tracker🧠 Durdens Global M2 Liquidity Tracker | Bitcoin vs Liquidity, Visualized
If you’re not watching global liquidity, you’re not really trading macro.
This indicator tracks FX-adjusted M2 money supply across 20+ countries, aggregated into a single global liquidity signal. It can then be used to overlay against Bitcoin for timing macro shifts with precision.
🔍 Core Features:
🌐 USD-adjusted M2 from the US, China, Eurozone, UK, Japan, and more
📊 Normalization modes: None (raw), Index (Based to 100), Z-Score
⏳ Offset input to shift liquidity data forward — aligns with Bitcoin's delayed reaction (84–107 days common)
🧠 BTC correlation matrix: 30D, 90D, 365D correlation values
🧪 Top 3 M2 delta signals: Tracks 90-day % change for US, China, EU
🧮 Fibonacci SMAs: 13 / 34 / 89 for structural macro context
🟢🔴 Liquidity regime engine: EMA 89 defines "Risk-On" vs "Risk-Off" states
🧩 How It Works:
Each country’s M2 is multiplied by its FX rate (to USD) and summed into a single global M2 line. This ensures comparability across nations. The user can choose to:
Normalize the output (raw, indexed, or z-scored)
Shift the global M2 forward in time (offset), simulating the lag effect liquidity has on Bitcoin
Visualize macro risk conditions using EMA 89 as a liquidity regime filter
Analyze BTC correlation across 3 windows and track key regions’ M2 delta
❓ FAQ:
Why does this matter?
M2 is the monetary fuel behind asset bubbles. When liquidity rises, Bitcoin follows; with a delay. This tracker helps you front-run macro flows before they hit the chart.
Why use Index or Z-Score modes?
Raw values skew long-term visual analysis. Index mode rebases data for comparative trend tracking. Z-Score shows when liquidity is overheated or suppressed (mean reversion).
What does the offset input do?
Liquidity doesn’t hit Bitcoin instantly. Many traders use an 84–107 day forward shift to align M2 changes with BTC price action. The offset helps you visualize this.
Why track top 3 M2 regions?
US, China, and Eurozone are the heavyweights in global liquidity. Tracking their offset-day % change gives immediate insight into capital expansion or contraction.
Can I use this to trade?
Absolutely; but it’s best used as a macro filter. Combine with price structure, funding, or on-chain data to optimize timing and conviction.
⚡ Use Cases:
Spot early pivots in liquidity regimes (Risk-Off to Risk-On)
Quantify macro backdrop for Bitcoin or altcoin cycles
Understand when the Fed or PBOC are tightening or easing
Ditch the hopium. Trade with context.

Fair Value MSThis indicator introduces rigid rules to familiar concepts to better capture and visualize Market Structure and Areas of Support and Resistance in a way that is both rule-based and reactive to market movements.
Typical "Market Structure" or "Zig-Zag" methods determine swing points based on fixed thresholds (length or percentage). While this does provide rigid structure, the results may be lagging or confusing due to the timing, since it is fixed to static parameters.
I believe the concept of Fair Value Gaps can solve this problem.
As you will notice, there are no length settings in this indicator.
> FVG Market Structure
Fair Value Gaps are a well known concept used to indicate directional intent, forming when price moves aggressively in one direction, leaving behind an imbalance between buyers and sellers. While the term FVG was popularized by ICT, the underlying concept predates them, known historically as imbalances, inefficiencies, or liquidity voids in institutional trading.
Note: For simplicity, in this indicator they'll be called FVGs.
By reading into this, we are able to clearly and rigidly define market structure simply by "looking" at the chart, using objective price events rather than subjective interpretation, or lengths.
By using FVGs to determine structure direction, the length, and speed of identification lies entirely on the market. If an FVG Down occurs immediately after a New Higher High forms, it is reasonable to assume there was a seller at that point, so the script would indicate a New Swing High.
The script is NOT stuck, waiting for a % retrace, or # bars to pass to identify it as such.
Sometimes the market is in a steady trend in a single direction and no FVGs form; therefore, no structure forms. -> Why would we try to impose structure on a clear trend?
Ultimately, the FVG Structure Method uses real reactions from the market to determine Market structure, and is not fixed to specific parameters.
As with other market structure indicators, "Market Structure Breaks" are still identifiable when price moves outside the most recent swing points.
These are helpful to indicate larger direction. In the following section you will see how these help us determine when we should start the search for an "Area of Interest (AOI)".
> Areas of Interest (AOIs)
"Area of Interest (AOI)" is a generalized term, and could refer to many types of zones you might recognize under different names. While the AOIs in this indicator are specialized in their own way, I have chosen to simply use the term "Area of Interest" because it’s more important to understand how they behave and why they exist than to focus on what they’re called.
The goal of an AOI is to point out reasonable areas where buyers or sellers may be staging, as is typical with support and resistance.
In order to reasonably identify these areas, we look for cause and effect relationships. When considering these relationships, it's easier to understand the placement of the points to define each zone.
(Buyer Examples)
Cause: Strong Buyers step in at Swing Low
Effect: Fair Value Gap Forms
Cause: Sustained Buying Pressure
Effect: Market Structure Breaks
In this example, The zone is drawn from the Swing Low, to the Bottom of the FVG closest to the swing point.
In theory, the participation at the swing point was strong and aggressive enough to create the FVG imbalance. Which then found acceptance and continued into a Market Structure Break. So with these AOIs, we are trying to locate the aggressive Buyers or Sellers which were positioned BEFORE the FVG.
These Zones are intended to act as areas to look for reactions from market participants, to judge where price may be going. When revisiting these zones, we look for a reaction or a break, to further provide us information to if the buyers or sellers are still there.
As seen in the screenshot above, The information we gain is not from the creation of these zones, but from the behavior we witness when these zones are revisited.
Technical Note: In this indicator, Market Structure Breaks are only considered when price closes outside the recent swing points. Wicks are not considered as confirmation, therefore are not used to detect structural breaks.
Inside each AOI you can optionally display a readout of the volume which accumulated during the time starting at the swing point and going until the closing bar of the FVG.
Note: We are counting volume until the closing bar of the FVG since the FVG is a 3 bar formation, and aggressive volume is required throughout to create the imbalance.
There are multiple FVGs that typically occur in a single direction, but we do not look to every single one to be indicative of structure, only the first FVG in the opposite direction of the previous direction (which is determined by previous FVGs)
You will probably notice, the AOIs do not form from the closest swing or FVG to the break, this is because we are targeting larger directional changes to draw these AOIs from.
Since they do not always happen perfectly every time, the AOI formation waits for an FVG to occur AND a Market structure break to happen. One without the other will result in no Zone displaying.
> Reflection Lines
While they may seem slightly redundant, Reflection Lines serve as reminders of previous support and resistance pivots. They are drawn at the same Pivots where and AOI is formed, and extend beyond the mitigation of the AOI.
These lines are often points of price to look for "Support Flips", a re-test pattern where price trades through previous support (or resistance) then returns to it and rejects, continuing into a larger move or trend.
Their namesake is based on the behavior of price, "reflecting" at these levels.
The Reflection lines are simple and change color based on price's location.
If price is above, we would typically look to a reflection line in with support in mind.
As a basic filter, these lines use an average price to determine their color, this way they will not change their color as frequently in choppy situations.
> Session Start/End Lines
For analysis purposes and trade review, it is helpful to analyze with context.
For that reason, I have implemented start and end session lines into the indicator, these are helpful when reviewing historical charts to not provide additional context.
By default, they are set to the NYSE Session, but can be changed to fit any needs.
These lines are not advanced, and simply draw a line as the chart passes the start and end of the sessions. It's very likely that you may need to adjust the session for your specific needs.
Note: The Timezone can be adjusted within the code if needed. By Default, the indicator uses "America/New_York" Timezone.
> Conclusion
If you’ve ever felt like your structure tools were confusing or lagging, drawing zones too late, or zones that simply don't make sense, this should feel like a breath of fresh air.
By removing arbitrary length settings and instead using FVGs to define structure and as a basis for AOIs, you're getting a more accurate look at what price is doing and where it's reacting from.
This indicator is rule-based, reactive, and aims to keep things logical without fluff or false confidence.

TheDevashishratio-MomentumThis custom momentum indicator is inspired by Fibonacci principles but builds a unique sequence with steps of 0.5 (i.e., 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, ...). Instead of traditional Fibonacci numbers, each step functions as a dynamic lookback period for a momentum calculation. By cycling through these fractional steps, you capture a layered view of price momentum over varying intervals.
The "Fibonacci" Series Used
Sequence:
0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, … up to a user-defined maximum
For trading indicators, lag values (lookback) must be integers, so each step is rounded to the nearest integer and duplicates are removed, resulting in lookbacks:
1, 2, 3, 4, ... N
Indicator Logic
For each selected lookback, the indicator calculates momentum as:
Momentum
n
=
close
−
close
Momentum
n
=close−close
Where:
close = current price
n = integer from your series of
You can combine these momenta for an averaged or weighted momentum profile, displaying the composite as an oscillator.
How To Use
Bullish: Oscillator above zero indicates positive composite momentum.
Bearish: Oscillator below zero indicates negative composite momentum.
Crosses: A cross from below to above zero may signal emerging bullish momentum, and vice versa.
Customization
Adjust max_step to control how many interval lags you want in your composite.
This oscillator averages across many short and mid-term momenta, reducing noise while still being sensitive to changes.
Summary
TheDevashishratio-Momentum offers a fresh momentum oscillator, blending a "Fibonacci-like" progression with technical analysis, and can be easily copy-pasted into TradingView to experiment and refine your edge.

Ease of Movement Z-Score Trend | DextraGeneral Description:
The "Ease of Movement Z-Score Trend | Dextra" (EOM-Z Trend) is an innovative technical analysis tool that combines the Ease of Movement (EOM) concept with Z-Score to measure how easily price moves relative to volume, while identifying market trends with intuitive visualization. This indicator is designed to help traders detect uptrend and downtrend phases with precision, enhanced by candle coloring for direct trend representation on the chart.
Key Features
Ease of Movement (EOM): Measures how easily price moves based on the change in the midpoint price and volume, normalized with Z-Score for statistical analysis.
Z-Score Normalization: Provides an indication of deviations from the mean, enabling the identification of overbought or oversold conditions.
Adjustable Thresholds: Users can customize upper and lower thresholds to define trend boundaries.
Candle Coloring: Visual trend representation with green (uptrend), red (downtrend), and gray (neutral) candles.
Flexibility: Adjustable for different timeframes and assets.
How It Works
The indicator operates through the following steps:
EOM Calculation:
hl2 = (high + low) / 2: Calculates the average midpoint price per bar.
eom = ta.sma(10000 * ta.change(hl2) * (high - low) / volume, length): EOM is computed as the smoothed average of the price midpoint change multiplied by the price range per unit volume, scaled by 10,000, over length bars (default 20).
Z-Score Calculation:
mean_eom = ta.sma(eom, z_length): Average EOM over z_length bars (default 93).
std_dev_eom = ta.stdev(eom, z_length): Standard deviation of EOM.
z_score = (eom - mean_eom) / std_dev_eom: Z-Score indicating how far EOM deviates from its mean in standard deviation units.
Trend Detection:
upperthreshold (default 1.03) and lowerthreshold (default -1.63): Thresholds to classify uptrend (if Z-Score > upperthreshold) and downtrend (if Z-Score < lowerthreshold).
eom_is_up and eom_is_down: Logical variables for trend status.
Visualization:
plot(z_score, ...): Z-Score line plotted with green (uptrend), red (downtrend), or gray (neutral) coloring.
plotcandle(...): Candles colored green, red, or gray based on trend.
hline(...): Dashed lines marking the thresholds.
Input Settings
EOM Length (default 20): Period for calculating EOM, determining sensitivity to price changes.
Z-Score Lookback Period (default 93): Period for calculating the Z-Score mean and standard deviation.
Uptrend Threshold (default 1.03): Minimum Z-Score value to classify an uptrend.
Downtrend Threshold (default -1.93): Maximum Z-Score value to classify a downtrend.
How to Use
Installation: Add the indicator via the "Indicators" menu in TradingView and search for "EOM-Z Trend | Dextra".
Customization:
Adjust EOM Length and Z-Score Lookback Period based on the timeframe (e.g., 20 and 93 for daily timeframes).
Set Uptrend Threshold and Downtrend Threshold according to preference or asset characteristics (e.g., lower to 0.8 and -1.5 for volatile markets).
Interpretation:
Uptrend (Green): Z-Score above upperthreshold, indicating strong upward price movement.
Downtrend (Red): Z-Score below lowerthreshold, indicating significant downward movement.
Neutral (Gray): Conditions between thresholds, suggesting a sideways market.
Use candle coloring as the primary visual guide, combined with the Z-Score line for confirmation.
Advantages
Intuitive Visualization: Candle coloring simplifies trend identification without deep analysis.
Flexibility: Customizable parameters allow adaptation to various markets.
Statistical Analysis: Z-Score provides a robust perspective on price deviations from the norm.
No Repainting: The indicator uses historical data and does not alter values after a bar closes.
Limitations
Volume Dependency: Requires accurate volume data; an error occurs if volume is unavailable.
Market Context: Effectiveness depends on properly tuned thresholds for specific assets.
Lack of Additional Signals: No built-in alerts or supplementary confirmation indicators.
Recommendations
Ideal Timeframe: Daily (1D) or (2D) for stable trends.
Combination: Pair with others indicators for signal validation.
Optimization: Test thresholds on historical data of the traded asset for optimal results.
Important Notes
This indicator relies entirely on internal TradingView data (high, low, close, volume) and does not integrate on-chain data. Ensure your data provider supports volume to avoid errors. This version (1.0) is the initial release, with potential future updates including features like alerts or multi-timeframe analysis.
Directional Market Efficiency [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Directional Market Efficiency indicator is an advanced trend analysis tool that measures how efficiently price moves in a given direction relative to the total price movement over a specified period. Unlike traditional momentum oscillators that only measure price change magnitude, this indicator combines efficiency measurement with directional bias to provide a comprehensive view of market behavior ranging from -1 (perfectly efficient downward movement) to +1 (perfectly efficient upward movement).
The indicator transforms the classic Efficiency Ratio concept by incorporating directional bias, creating a normalized oscillator that simultaneously reveals trend strength, direction, and market regime (trending vs. ranging). This dual-purpose functionality helps traders and investors identify high-probability trend continuation opportunities while filtering out choppy, inefficient price movements that often lead to false signals and whipsaws.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator employs a sophisticated two-step calculation process that first measures pure efficiency, then applies directional weighting to create the final signal. The efficiency calculation compares the absolute net price change over a lookback period to the sum of all individual bar-to-bar price movements during that same period. This ratio reveals how much of the total price movement contributed to actual progress in a specific direction.
The directional component applies the mathematical sign of the net price change (positive for upward movement, negative for downward movement) to the efficiency ratio, creating values between -1 and +1. The resulting Directional Efficiency is then smoothed using an Exponential Moving Average to reduce noise while maintaining responsiveness. Additionally, the system incorporates a configurable threshold level that distinguishes between trending markets (high efficiency) and ranging markets (low efficiency), enabling regime-based analysis and strategy adaptation.
🟢 How to Use
1. Signal Interpretation and Market Regime Analysis
Positive Territory (Above Zero): Indicates efficient upward price movement with bullish directional bias and favorable conditions for long positions
Negative Territory (Below Zero): Signals efficient downward price movement with bearish directional bias and favorable conditions for short positions
High Absolute Values (±0.4 to ±1.0): Represent highly efficient trending conditions with strong directional conviction and reduced noise
Low Absolute Values (±0.1 to ±0.3): Suggest ranging or consolidating markets with inefficient price movement and increased whipsaw risk
Zero Line Crosses: Mark critical directional shifts and provide primary entry/exit signals for trend-following strategies
2. Threshold-Based Market Regime Classification
Above Threshold (Trending Markets): When efficiency exceeds the threshold level, markets are classified as trending, favoring momentum strategies
Below Threshold (Ranging Markets): When efficiency falls below the threshold, markets are classified as ranging, favoring mean reversion approaches
3. Preset Configurations for Different Trading Styles
Default
Universally applicable configuration optimized for medium-term analysis across multiple timeframes and asset classes, providing balanced sensitivity and noise filtering.
Scalping
Highly responsive setup for ultra-short-term trades with increased sensitivity to quick efficiency changes. Best suited for 1-15 minute charts and rapid-fire trading approaches.
Swing Trading
Designed for multi-day position holding with enhanced noise filtering and focus on sustained efficiency trends. Optimal for 1-4 hour and daily timeframe analysis.
🟢 Pro Tips for Trading and Investing
→ Trend Continuation Filter: Enter long positions when Directional Efficiency crosses above zero in trending markets (above threshold) and short positions when crossing below zero, ensuring alignment with efficient price movement.
→ Range Trading Optimization: In ranging markets (below threshold), take profits on extreme readings and enter mean reversion trades when efficiency approaches zero from either direction.
→ Multi-Timeframe Confluence: Combine higher timeframe trend direction with lower timeframe efficiency signals for optimal entry timing.
→ Risk Management Enhancement: Reduce position sizes or avoid new entries when efficiency readings are weak (near zero), as these conditions indicate higher probability of choppy, unpredictable price movement.
→ Signal Strength Assessment: Prioritize trades with high absolute efficiency values (±0.4 or higher) as these represent the most reliable directional moves with reduced likelihood of immediate reversal.
→ Regime Transition Trading: Watch for efficiency threshold breaks combined with directional changes as these often mark significant trend initiation or termination points requiring strategic position adjustments.
→ Alert Integration: Utilize the built-in alert system for real time notifications of zero-line crosses, threshold breaks, and regime changes to maintain constant market awareness without continuous chart monitoring.

Expansion Triangle [TradingFinder] MegaPhone Broadening🔵 Introduction
The Expanding Triangle, also known as the Broadening Formation, is one of the key technical analysis patterns that clearly reflects growing market volatility, increasing indecision among participants, and the potential for sharp price explosions.
This pattern is typically defined by a sequence of higher highs and lower lows, forming within two diverging trendlines. Unlike traditional triangles that converge to a breakout point, the expanding triangle pattern becomes wider over time, leaving no precise apex for a breakout to occur.
From a price action perspective, the pattern represents a prolonged tug-of-war between buyers and sellers, where neither side has taken control yet. Each aggressive swing opens the door to new opportunities whether it's a trend reversal, range trading, or a momentum breakout. This dual nature makes the pattern highly versatile across market conditions, from exhausted trend ends to volatile consolidation zones.
The custom-built indicator for this pattern uses a combination of smart algorithms and detailed analysis of swing dynamics to automatically detect expanding triangles and highlight low-risk entry points.
Traders can use this tool to capitalize on high-probability setups from shorting near the upper edge of the structure with confirmation, to trading bearish breakouts during trend continuations, or entering long positions near the lower boundary during bullish reversals. The chart examples included in this article demonstrate these three highly practical trading scenarios in live market conditions.
A major advantage of this indicator lies in its structural filtering engine, which analyzes the behavior of each price leg in the triangle. With four adjustable filter levels from Very Aggressive, which highlights all potential patterns, to Very Defensive, which only triggers when price actually touches the triangle's trendlines the indicator ensures that only structurally sound and verified setups appear on the chart, reducing noise and false signals significantly.
Long Setup :
Short Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The pattern typically forms in conditions of heightened uncertainty and volatility, where price swings generate a series of higher highs and lower lows. The expanding triangle consists of three key legs bounded by diverging trendlines. The indicator intelligently analyzes each leg's direction and angle to determine whether a valid pattern is forming.
At the core of the indicator’s logic is its leg filtering system, which controls the quality of the pattern and filters out weak or noisy setups. Four structural filter modes are available to suit different trading styles and risk preferences. In Very Aggressive mode, filters are disabled, and the indicator detects any pattern purely based on the sequence of swing points.
This mode is ideal for traders who want to see everything and apply their own discretion.
In Aggressive mode, the indicator checks whether each new leg extends no more than twice the length of the previous one. If a leg overshoots excessively, the structure is invalidated.
In Defensive mode, the filter enforces a minimum movement requirement each leg must move at least 2% of the previous one. This prevents the formation of shallow, weak patterns that visually resemble triangles but lack substance.
The strictest setting, Very Defensive, combines all previous filters and additionally requires the price to physically touch the triangle’s trendlines before issuing a signal. This ensures that setups only appear when real market interaction with key structural levels has occurred, not based on assumptions or geometry alone. This mode is ideal for traders seeking maximum precision and minimal risk.
🟣 Bullish Setup
A bullish setup within the Expanding Triangle pattern occurs when price revisits the lower support boundary after a series of broad swings typically near the third leg of the formation. This area often represents a shift in momentum, where sellers begin to lose strength and buyers prepare to take control.
Ideally, the setup is accompanied by a bullish reversal candle (e.g. doji, pin bar, or engulfing) near the lower trendline. If the Very Defensive filter is active, the indicator will only issue a signal if price makes a confirmed touch on the trendline and reacts from that level. This significantly improves signal accuracy and filters out premature entries.
After confirmation, traders may choose to enter a long position on the bullish candle or shortly afterward. A logical stop-loss is placed just below the recent swing low within the pattern. The target can be set at or near the upper trendline, or projected using the full height of the triangle added to the breakout point. On higher timeframes, this reversal often marks the beginning of a strong uptrend.
🟣 Bearish Setup
A bearish setup forms when price climbs toward the upper resistance trendline, usually as the third leg completes. This is where buyers often begin to show exhaustion, and sellers step in with strength providing an ideal low-risk entry point for short positions.
As with the bullish setup, if the Candle Confirmation filter is enabled, the indicator will only show a signal when a bearish reversal candle forms at the point of contact. If Defensive or Very Defensive filters are also active, the setup must meet strict criteria of proportionate leg movement and an actual trendline touch to qualify.
Once confirmed, traders can enter on the reversal candle, placing a stop-loss slightly above the recent high. The target can be set at the lower trendline or calculated based on the triangle's full height, projected downward. This setup is particularly useful at the end of weak bullish trends or in volatile market tops.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Logic Settings
Pivot Period : Defines how many bars are analyzed to identify swing highs and lows. Higher values detect larger, slower structures, while lower values respond to faster patterns. The default value of 13 offers a balanced sensitivity.
Pattern Filter :
Very Aggressive : Detects all patterns based on point sequence with no structural checks.
Aggressive : Ensures each leg is no more than 2x the size of the previous one.
Defensive : Requires each leg to be at least 2% the size of the previous leg.
Very Defensive : The strictest level; only confirms patterns when price touches trendlines.
Candle Confirmation : When enabled, the indicator requires a valid confirmation candle (doji, pin bar, engulfing) at the interaction point with the trendline before issuing a signal. This reduces false entries and improves entry precision.
🟣 Alert Settings
Alert : Enables alerts for SSS.
Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'.
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'.
🔵 Conclusion
The Expanding Triangle pattern, with its wide structure and volatility-driven nature, represents chaos but also opportunity. For traders who can read its behavior, it provides some of the most powerful setups for reversals, breakouts, and range-based trades. While the pattern may seem messy at first glance, it is built on clear logic and when properly detected, it offers high-probability opportunities.
This indicator doesn’t just draw expanding triangles it intelligently evaluates their structural quality, validates price interaction through candle confirmation, and allows the trader to fine-tune the detection logic through adjustable filter levels. Whether you’re a reversal trader looking for a turning point, or a breakout trader hunting momentum, this tool adapts to your strategy.
In volatile or uncertain markets, where fakeouts and sudden shifts are common, this indicator can become a cornerstone of your trading system helping you turn volatility into structured, high-quality opportunities.
MA Signal IndicatorMA Signal Indicator
