5/20 EMA Entry + 1/5 Cross-Count ExitThis script generates entry signals whenever the 5-period EMA crosses the 20-period EMA. A “BUY” label appears when the 5 EMA moves above the 20 EMA, and a “SELL” label appears when it moves below. Once a position is taken, the script begins counting every crossover between the 1-period EMA and the 5-period EMA. As soon as the first EMA(1)/EMA(5) cross occurs after entry, the script closes the trade and plots an “EXIT BUY” or “EXIT SELL” label on that bar. This ensures that each trade is exited on the very first short-term momentum shift (1/5 EMA cross) following the initial 5/20 EMA signal.

PM Levels + SMA 9 By JadraThis indicator automatically identifies pre-market high and low levels (4:00-9:30 AM ET) and marks them with blue horizontal lines that extend throughout the entire trading session. Additionally includes a 9-period Simple Moving Average in red for trend analysis. Perfect for NYSE and NASDAQ traders who use these key levels as support and resistance. Features color-coded backgrounds: yellow for pre-market, transparent for regular hours, and blue for post-market. Lines remain visible from pre-market through market close, providing constant visual references for making trading decisions based on these important psychological levels combined with moving average trend confirmation.
VWAP 14 & EMA 8 RibbonIndicator that shows when 8 EMA crosses the VWAP 14. I have found this cross to be very bullish on the weekly timeframe. The VWAP 14 on its own serves as a good support and resistance as well. Very effective on the daily as well and even the 4 hour timeframe.
Interpolated Median Volatility LSMA | OttoThis indicator combines trend-following and volatility analysis by enhancing traditional LSMA with percentile-based linear interpolation applied to both the Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) and standard deviation. Rather than relying on raw values, it uses the interpolated median (50th percentile) to smooth out noise while preserving sensitivity to significant price shifts. This approach produces a cleaner trend signal that remains responsive to real market changes, adapts to evolving volatility conditions, and improves the accuracy of breakout detection.
Core Concept
The indicator builds on these core components:
LSMA (Least Squares Moving Average): A linear regression-based moving average that fits line using user selected source over user defined period. It offers a smoother and more reactive trend signal compared to standard moving averages.
Standard Deviation shows how much price varies from the mean. In this indicator, it’s used to measure market volatility.
Volatility Bands: Instead of traditional Bollinger-style bands, this script calculates custom upper and lower bands using percentile-based linear interpolation on both the LSMA and standard deviation. This method produces smoother bands that filter out noise while remaining adaptive to meaningful price movements, making them more aligned with real market behavior and helping reduce false signals.
Percentile interpolation estimates a specific percentile (like the median — the 50th percentile) from a set of values — even when that percentile doesn't fall exactly on one data point. Instead of selecting a single nearest value, it calculates a smoothed value between nearby points. In this script, it’s used to find the median of past LSMA and standard deviation values, reducing the impact of outliers and smoothing the trend and volatility signals for more robust results.
Signal Logic: A long signal is identified when close price goes above the upper band, and a short signal when close price goes below the lower band.
⚙️ Inputs

Liquidity Sweep Candlestick Pattern with MA Filter📌 Liquidity Sweep Candlestick Pattern with MA Filter
This custom indicator detects liquidity sweep candlestick patterns—price action events where the market briefly breaks a previous candle’s high or low to trap traders—paired with optional filters such as moving averages, color change candles, and strictness rules for better signal accuracy.
🔍 What is a Liquidity Sweep?
A liquidity sweep occurs when the price briefly breaks the high or low of a previous candle and then reverses direction. These events often occur around key support/resistance zones and are used by institutional traders to trap retail positions before moving the price in the intended direction.
🟢 Bullish Liquidity Sweep Criteria
The current candle is bullish (closes above its open).
The low of the current candle breaks the low of the previous candle.
The candle closes above the previous candle’s open.
Optionally, in Strict mode, it must also close above the previous candle’s high.
Optionally, it can be filtered to only show if the candle changed color from the previous one (e.g., red to green).
Can be filtered to only show when the price is above or below a moving average (if MA filter is enabled).
🔴 Bearish Liquidity Sweep Criteria
The current candle is bearish (closes below its open).
The high of the current candle breaks the high of the previous candle.
The candle closes below the previous candle’s open.
Optionally, in Strict mode, it must also close below the previous candle’s low.
Optionally, it can be filtered to only show if the candle changed color from the previous one (e.g., green to red).

Trend Scanner ProTrend Scanner Pro, Robust Trend Direction and Strength Estimator
Trend Scanner Pro is designed to evaluate the current market trend with maximum robustness, providing both direction and strength based on statistically reliable data.
This indicator builds upon the core logic of a previous script I developed, called Best SMA Finder. While the original script focused on identifying the most profitable SMA length based on backtested trade performance, Trend Scanner Pro takes that foundation further to serve a different purpose: analyzing and quantifying the actual trend state in real time.
It begins by testing hundreds of SMA lengths, from 10 to 1000 periods. Each one is scored using a custom robustness formula that combines profit factor, number of trades, and win rate. Only SMAs with a sufficient number of trades are retained, ensuring statistical validity and avoiding curve fitting.
The SMA with the highest robustness score is selected as the dynamic reference point. The script then calculates how far the price deviates from it using rolling standard deviation, assigning a trend strength score from -5 (strong bearish) to +5 (strong bullish), with 0 as neutral.
Two detection modes are available:
Slope mode, based on SMA slope reversals
Bias mode, based on directional shifts relative to deviation zones
Optional features:
Deviation bands for visual structure
Candle coloring to reflect trend strength
Compact table showing real-time trend status
This tool is intended for traders who want an adaptive, objective, and statistically grounded assessment of market trend conditions.

5EMA_BB_ScalpingWhat?
In this forum we have earlier published a public scanner called 5EMA BollingerBand Nifty Stock Scanner , which is getting appreciated by the community. That works on top-40 stocks of NSE as a scanner.
Whereas this time, we have come up with the similar concept as a stand-alone indicator which can be applied for any chart, for any timeframe to reap the benifit of reversal trading.
How it works?
This is essentially a reversal/divergence trading strategy, based on a widely used strategy of Power-of-Stocks 5EMA.
To know the divergence from 5-EMA we just check if the high of the candle (on closing) is below the 5-EMA. Then we check if the closing is inside the Bollinger Band (BB). That's a Buy signal. SL: low of the candle, T: middle and higher BB.
Just opposite for selling. 5-EMA low should be above 5-EMA and closing should be inside BB (lesser than BB higher level). That's a Sell signal. SL: high of the candle, T: middle and lower BB.
Along with we compare the current bar's volume with the last-20 bar VWMA (volume weighted moving average) to determine if the volume is high or low.
Present bar's volume is compared with the previous bar's volume to know if it's rising or falling.
VWAP is also determined using `ta.vwap` built-in support of TradingView.
The Bolling Band width is also notified, along with whether it is rising or falling (comparing with previous candle).
What's special?
We love this reversal trading, as it offers many benifits over trend following strategies:
Risk to Reward (RR) is superior.
It _Does Hit_ stop losses, but the stop losses are tiny.
Means, althrough the Profit Factor looks Nahh , however due to superior RR, end of day it ended up in green.
When the day is sideways, it's difficult to trade in trending strategies. This sort of volatility, reversal strategies works better.
It's always tempting to go agaist the wind. Whole world is in Put/PE and you went opposite and enter a Call/CE. And turns out profitable! That's an amazing feeling, as a trader :)

Brian Shannon 5-Day MA BackgroundBrian Shannon 5-Day Moving Average with Dynamic Background Fill
OVERVIEW
This indicator implements Brian Shannon's renowned 5-Day Moving Average methodology from his acclaimed work "Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes." The indicator provides instant visual clarity on short-term trend direction and momentum, making it an essential tool for swing traders and active investors.
KEY FEATURES
• True 5-Day Moving Average: Dynamically calculates the correct period across all timeframes (1min, 5min, 15min, 1H, etc.)
• Visual Price-to-MA Relationship: Color-coded fill between price and the moving average
- Green Fill: Price is above the 5-day MA (bullish short-term momentum)
- Red Fill: Price is below the 5-day MA (bearish short-term momentum)
• Multi-Timeframe Compatible: Works seamlessly on any chart timeframe while maintaining the true 5-day calculation
BRIAN SHANNON'S STRATEGIC APPLICATION
Primary Uses:
1. Trend Identification: Quickly identify short-term momentum shifts
2. Dynamic Support/Resistance: The 5-day MA acts as a moving support level in uptrends and resistance in downtrends
3. Entry Signal Confirmation: Look for pullbacks to the 5-day MA as potential entry points in trending stocks
4. Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Essential component of Shannon's multiple timeframe approach
Perfect Combination with:
• AVWAP (Anchored Volume Weighted Average Price): Use together to identify high-probability setups where price is above both the 5-day MA and AVWAP
• Longer-term Moving Averages: Combine with 20-day and 50-day MAs for complete trend analysis
• Volume Analysis: Confirm 5-day MA signals with volume patterns
TRADING APPLICATIONS
For Swing Traders:
• Bullish Setup: Price above 5-day MA + above AVWAP + above longer-term MAs = Strong uptrend
• Bearish Setup: Price below 5-day MA + below AVWAP + below longer-term MAs = Strong downtrend
• Entry Timing: Use pullbacks to the 5-day MA as entry opportunities in the direction of the primary trend
For Day Traders:
• Quick visual confirmation of intraday momentum
• Dynamic support/resistance levels for scalping opportunities
• Clear trend bias for directional trades
WHY THIS INDICATOR WORKS
Brian Shannon's approach emphasizes that the 5-day moving average represents the short-term sentiment of market participants. When price is consistently above this level, it indicates buyers are in control of short-term price action. Conversely, when price falls below, it suggests selling pressure is dominating.
The visual fill makes it immediately obvious:
• How far price is from the 5-day MA
• The strength of the current short-term trend
• Potential areas where price might find support or resistance
BEST PRACTICES
1. Never use in isolation - Always combine with longer timeframe analysis
2. Volume confirmation - Look for volume expansion on moves away from the 5-day MA
3. Multiple timeframe approach - Check higher timeframes for overall trend direction
4. Combine with AVWAP - Most powerful when both indicators align
INSTALLATION NOTES
This indicator automatically adjusts for any timeframe, ensuring you always get a true 5-trading-day moving average regardless of whether you're viewing 1-minute or hourly charts.
Based on the technical analysis methodology of Brian Shannon, author of "Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes"

Price equilibrium between buyers and sellers [Soroush Rezaei]This indicator visualizes the dynamic balance between buyers and sellers using two simple moving averages (SMAs) based on the high and low prices.
The green line (SMA of highs) reflects the upper pressure zone, while the red line (SMA of lows) represents the lower support zone.
When price hovers between these two levels, it often signals a state of temporary equilibrium — a consolidation zone where buyers and sellers are relatively balanced.
Use this tool to:
Identify ranging or balanced market phases
Spot potential breakout or reversal zones
Enhance your multi-timeframe or price action strategy
Recommended for intraday and swing traders seeking visual clarity on market structure and momentum zones.

Best EMA FinderThis script, Best EMA Finder, is based on the same original logic as the Best SMA Finder I published previously. Although it was not the initial goal of the project, several users asked for an EMA version, so here it is.
The script scans a wide range of Exponential Moving Average (EMA) lengths, from 10 to 500, and identifies the one that historically delivered the most robust performance on the current chart. The choice to stop at 500 is deliberate: beyond that point, EMA curves tend to flatten and converge, adding processing time without meaningful differences in signals or outcomes.
Each EMA is evaluated using a custom robustness score:
Profit Factor × log(Number of Trades) × sqrt(Win Rate)
Only EMA lengths that exceed a user-defined minimum number of trades are considered valid. Among these, the one with the highest robustness score is selected and displayed on the chart.
A table summarizes the results:
- Best EMA length
- Total number of trades
- Profit Factor
- Win Rate
- Robustness Score
You can adjust:
- Strategy type: Long Only or Buy & Sell
- Minimum number of trades required
- Table visibility
This script is designed for analysis and optimization only. It does not execute trades or handle position sizing. Only one open trade per direction is considered at a time.

Hull Moving Average RibbonGradient Wave HMA - Multi-Ribbon Hull Moving Average System
Overview
The Gradient Wave HMA is an advanced technical indicator that transforms Alan Hull's Hull Moving Average (HMA) into a dynamic multi-layered ribbon system. Unlike traditional moving average ribbons that use simple or exponential calculations, this indicator applies Hull's innovative lag-reduction formula across 12 different timeframes simultaneously, creating a visually striking gradient effect that flows with market momentum.
Technical Foundation
This indicator is built upon the Hull Moving Average, developed by Alan Hull in 2005. The HMA uses a weighted moving average calculation designed to almost eliminate lag while maintaining curve smoothness:
HMA = WMA(2*WMA(n/2) − WMA(n), sqrt(n))
Credit: Alan Hull (www.alanhull.com)
Key Features
Multi-Period Ribbon Structure
12 individual HMA lines with customizable periods
Preset configurations for different trading styles:
Fast: 3-30 period range (scalping/intraday)
Swing: 8-55 period range (swing trading)
Position: 20-100 period range (position trading)
Custom: User-defined periods
2. Neon Gradient Visualization
Bullish Gradient: Transitions from blue-purple to hot purple
Bearish Gradient: Flows from hot pink to purple-pink
Each line has a unique color in the spectrum
Gradient fills between lines create depth and visual flow
3. Advanced Alert System
Trend Reversal Alerts: Notifies when ribbon changes direction
Price Breakout Alerts: Triggers when price crosses the ribbon
Compression Alerts: Signals potential breakouts during consolidation
Expansion Alerts: Confirms strong trending conditions
Momentum Surge Alerts: Catches explosive moves early
How It Works
The indicator calculates 12 Hull Moving Averages, each with a different period length. The trend direction is determined by the middle HMA (6th line), which triggers the color change across the entire ribbon. When trending up, the ribbon displays a purple gradient; when trending down, it shifts to a pink gradient.
Trading Applications
1. Trend Identification
Ribbon color indicates overall trend direction
All lines moving in sync confirms strong trend
Mixed signals suggest choppy or transitioning markets
2. Dynamic Support/Resistance
In uptrends, the ribbon acts as moving support
In downtrends, it provides resistance levels
Multiple layers offer various strength levels
3. Momentum Analysis
Expanding ribbon = Increasing momentum
Contracting ribbon = Decreasing momentum/consolidation
Ribbon angle indicates trend strength
4. Trading Example
Advantages Over Traditional MAs
Reduced Lag: Hull's formula provides faster response than SMA/EMA ribbons
Visual Clarity: Gradient effect makes trend changes immediately visible
Multiple Timeframes: 12 periods provide comprehensive market view
Flexibility: Presets adapt to different trading styles
Best Practices
Use higher timeframes (4H, Daily) for position trading
Combine with volume indicators for confirmation
Watch for ribbon compression before major moves
Consider overall market conditions when interpreting signals
Customization Options
Adjust individual HMA periods
Fine-tune transparency for different backgrounds
Choose between WMA and EMA base calculations
The Gradient Wave HMA combines Alan Hull's breakthrough moving average formula with modern visualization techniques to create a powerful trend-following tool that's both technically sophisticated and visually intuitive.
NoNoiseMA & SlopeHappy trade,
This is a noise-reduced moving average — let's call it the No-Noise MA. A MA where false breakout price action should have little to no impact, while the main trend remains fully represented. In comparison to previous MAs this one's trend appear more linear, and sideways price actions becomes easier to detect thanks to it's unique two filter stages.
In short, the No-Noise-MA (Noise-Reduced Moving Average) is calculated as the cumulative sum of the slopes derived from the center line of the last x pivot points. Let’s break it down step by step:
Pivot Detection:
A pivot algorithm (an adapted variant of the Bilson-Gann-Count method) identifies consecutive pivot points (high, low, high, low, etc.) in the close price series. Let's call this set of Pivots S.
Center Line Calculation:
Out of the set S the last x pivots are used to compute a center line (linear regression line). Always when a new pivot is confirmed, the oldest pivot in the queue is removed, and the new pivot is added.
Slope Extraction:
The center line is defined by its equation shown in the image below
Image 1
Cumulative Slope Sum:
As shown in the image 1 the slope is a series with values around zero. The No-Noise-MA is then just the cumulative sum of the slope series and a correction term. A correction term is needed otherwise the No-Noise-MA would run away over time from the original close price. The correction term is just the deviation between close price and cumulative slope sum multiply with a factor around 0.01 added to the No-Noise-MA.
Noise Reduction:
The goal of noise reduction is done by two filter stages. First Filter is the reduction of the input values. As shown above not all bars close prices are use, instead it uses just the pivot points delivered by the Bilson-Gann-Count method. Favorable the Bilson-Gann-Count method delivers the Pivot points in most cases much faster as other Pivot methods. Already after two bars a new Pivot is confirmed. This takes out all ups and downs between two consecutive Pivots. This first filter stage is legit because all price action in between is hedged by the Pivots.
The second filter stage is the done by the length of the center line. As more pivots are used to calculate the center line as smoother the slope becomes. Out liners just gets less impact if the base is bigger. So the number of involved Pivots has the same meaning as the lengths in any other MA.
Comparison with usual MAs:
For a comparison with other MAs this script also calculate the average lengths of the center line, shown in the upper right chart. So choose for example SMA and set the length parameter to the average length of the center line. As shown in the following image 2.
Image 2
This way both MAs have the same data base and can be objectively compared.
Trend detection:
The slope of the center line can be used for trend confirmation. A slope bigger then zero is an up trend while a slope smaller then zero is a down trend. And side way price action is indicated when the slope is around zero within a certain threshold.
Image 3
One hint should be mentioned here. The side way section gets indicated much later. About the number of bars as the center line is long. Before that there are just up or down trend predicted. In the image 2 you see the slope is firstly tin and as more bars past by the slope becomes more thick. This should indicate the point where no side way predictions will happens anymore.
Variation of calculation
In the settings menu you can find the setting "Include last close to center line". With this activated the center line is calculated with the last pivots and the last close price. The last close price is assumed as a pivot too. This gives the slope a more early reaction to volatile price action. But also brings back some noise.
Custom Paul MACD-likePaul MACD is an indicator created by David Paul. It is implemented to effectively represent trend periods and non-trend (sideways/consolidation) periods, and its calculation method is particularly designed to reduce whipsaw.
Unlike the existing MACD which uses the difference between short-term (12) and long-term (26) exponential moving averages (EMA), Paul MACD has a different calculation method. This indicator uses a "center value" or "intermediate value". Calculation occurs when this intermediate value is higher than the High value (specifically, the difference between the center and High is calculated) or lower than the Low value (specifically, the difference between the center and Low is calculated). Otherwise, the value becomes 0. Here, the High and Low values are intended to be smoothly reflected using Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA). The indicator's method itself (using SMMA and ZLMA) is aimed at diluting whipsaws.
Thanks to this calculation method, in sections where whipsaw occurs, meaning when the intermediate value is between High and Low, the indicator value is expressed as 0 and appears as a horizontal line (zero line). This serves to visually clearly show sideways/consolidation periods.

SMA Zone with Breakouts/Tests 1.0.This indicator plots a dynamic “SMA Zone” between two simple moving averages (one applied to lows, one to highs) and highlights key interaction points with the zone:
Breakouts
Bull Break: price closes above the upper SMA
Bear Break: price closes below the lower SMA
Requires confirmation via either above-average volume or an unusually wide bar (spread > ATR) closing near its extreme
Tests & Retests
After a breakout, the first re-entry into the zone edge is labeled “Test,” subsequent re-entries are numbered “Retest,” “2nd Retest,” etc.
Zone Weakening: each additional Test/Retest signifies diminished zone strength—fewer reliable boundaries remain (Traditional S/R theory)
Alerts
Fires a unified “Zone Signal” alert on every Break, Test, and Retest (set condition to “Any alert() function call”).
Disclaimer:
This is not financial advice and should not be used as a standalone trading signal.
It’s designed to draw your attention to important price-zone interactions so you can manually tune in.
The logic can be further enhanced or combined with other indicators/algorithms as part of a more complex trading system.
