⚙️ Recommended Settings by Trading Style
Trading Style Suggested Settings Notes
Intraday (1–15m) fibLookback = 20–50, obLookback = 5–10, htf_tf = 1H/4H Fast signals. Use Discount/Premium + Engulfing.
Swing/Position (1H–1D) fibLookback = 50–100, obLookback = 10–20, htf_tf = 1D/1W Higher trust in MTF confirmation. Ideal with fundamentals.
Scalping (1m) fibLookback = 10–20, obLookback = 3–5, htf_tf = 15m/1H Remove Breaker and MTF for quick reaction trades.
🧠 Best Practices for Traders
Trend Filtering:
Use EMAs or volume to confirm the current trend.
Take longs only in uptrends, shorts in downtrends.
Liquidity Zones:
Use this indicator after liquidity grabs.
OBs and Breakers often appear right after stop hunts.
Combine with Manual Zones:
This works best when paired with manually drawn OBs and key levels.
Backtest the Signals:
Use Bar Replay mode on TradingView to test past signals.
🧪 Example Trade Setup
Example on BTCUSDT 15m:
Price drops into the discount zone.
A green triangle appears (bullish engulfing + OB + imbalance + HTF OB).
You enter long, stop below the OB, target the premium zone.
🎯 This type of setup often gives a risk/reward ratio of 1:2 or better — profitable even with a 40% win rate.
⏰ Alerts & Automation
Enable alerts:
"SMC Long Entry" — fires when a long signal appears.
"SMC Short Entry" — fires when a short signal appears.
You can integrate this with bots via webhook, like:
TradingConnector, 3Commas, Alertatron, etc.
✅ What This Indicator Gives You
High-probability entries using SMC logic
Customizable filters for entry logic

Liquidity + Internal Market Shift StrategyLiquidity + Internal Market Shift Strategy
This strategy combines liquidity zone analysis with the internal market structure, aiming to identify high-probability entry points. It uses key liquidity levels (local highs and lows) to track the price's interaction with significant market levels and then employs internal market shifts to trigger trades.
Key Features:
Internal Shift Logic: Instead of relying on traditional candlestick patterns like engulfing candles, this strategy utilizes internal market shifts. A bullish shift occurs when the price breaks previous bearish levels, and a bearish shift happens when the price breaks previous bullish levels, indicating a change in market direction.
Liquidity Zones: The strategy dynamically identifies key liquidity zones (local highs and lows) to detect potential reversal points and prevent trades in weak market conditions.
Mode Options: You can choose to run the strategy in "Both," "Bullish Only," or "Bearish Only" modes, allowing for flexibility based on market conditions.
Stop-Loss and Take-Profit: Customizable stop-loss and take-profit levels are integrated to manage risk and lock in profits.
Time Range Control: You can specify the time range for trading, ensuring the strategy only operates during the desired period.
This strategy is ideal for traders who want to combine liquidity analysis with internal structure shifts for precise market entries and exits.
This description clearly outlines the strategy's logic, the flexibility it provides, and how it works. You can adjust it further to match your personal trading style or preferences!
Heiken Ashi Supertrend ATR-SL StrategyThis indicator combines Heikin Ashi candle pattern analysis with Supertrend to generate high-probability trading signals with built-in risk management. It identifies potential entries and exits based on specific Heikin Ashi candlestick formations while providing automated ATR-based stop loss management.
Trading Logic:
The system generates long signals when a green Heikin Ashi candle forms with no bottom wick (indicating strong bullish momentum). Short signals appear when a red Heikin Ashi candle forms with no top wick (showing strong bearish momentum). The absence of wicks on these candles signals a high-conviction market move in the respective direction.
Exit signals are triggered when:
1. An opposite pattern forms (red candle with no top wick exits longs; green candle with no bottom wick exits shorts)
2. The ATR-based stop loss is hit
3. The break-even stop is activated and then hit
Technical Approach:
- Select Heiken Ashi Canldes on your Trading View chart. Entried are based on HA prices.
- Supertrend and ATR-based stop losses use real price data (not HA values) for trend determination
- ATR-based stop losses automatically adjust to market volatility
- Break-even functionality moves the stop to entry price once price moves a specified ATR multiple in your favor
Risk Management:
- Default starting capital: 1000 units
- Default risk per trade: 10% of equity (customizable in strategy settings)
- Hard Stop Loss: Set ATR multiplier (default: 2.0) for automatic stop placement
- Break Even: Configure ATR threshold (default: 1.0) to activate break-even stops
- Appropriate position sizing relative to equity and stop distance
Customization Options:
- Supertrend Settings:
- Enable/disable Supertrend filtering (trade only in confirmed trend direction)
- Adjust Factor (default: 3.0) to change sensitivity
- Modify ATR Period (default: 10) to adapt to different timeframes
Visual Elements:
- Green triangles for long entries, blue triangles for short entries
- X-marks for exits and stop loss hits
- Color-coded position background (green for long, blue for short)
- Clearly visible stop loss lines (red for hard stop, white for break-even)
- Comprehensive position information label with entry price and stop details
Implementation Notes:
The indicator tracks positions internally and maintains state across bars to properly manage stop levels. All calculations use confirmed bars only, with no repainting or lookahead bias. The system is designed for swing trading on timeframes from 1-hour and above, where Heikin Ashi patterns tend to be more reliable.
This indicator is best suited for traders looking to combine the pattern recognition strengths of Heikin Ashi candles with the trend-following capabilities of Supertrend, all while maintaining disciplined risk management through automated stops.
Pivot Point Calculator PPC V2 by [KhedrFx]📈 Trade Smarter with the Pivot Point Calculator (PPC) by KhedrFx
Want to spot key price levels and make better trading decisions? The Pivot Point Calculator (PPC) by KhedrFx is your go-to TradingView tool for identifying potential support and resistance zones. Whether you’re a Scalper trader, day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, this script helps you plan precise entries and exits with confidence.
🔹 How to Use Pivot Points in Trading
📊 Step 1: Identify Key Levels
The PPC automatically plots:
Pivot Point (P): The main level where sentiment shifts between bullish and bearish.
Support Levels (S1, S2, S3): Areas where price may bounce higher.
Resistance Levels (R1, R2, R3): Areas where price may face selling pressure.
These levels act as dynamic price zones, helping you anticipate potential market movements.
🔥 Step 2: Choose Your Trading Strategy
1️⃣ Breakout Trading
Buy when the price breaks above the pivot point (P) with strong momentum.
Sell when the price drops below the pivot point (P) with strong momentum.
Use R1, R2, or R3 as profit targets in an uptrend and S1, S2, or S3 in a downtrend.
2️⃣ Reversal (Bounce) Trading
Buy when the price pulls back to S1, S2, or S3 and shows bullish confirmation (e.g., candlestick patterns like a bullish engulfing or hammer).
Sell when the price rallies to R1, R2, or R3 and shows bearish confirmation (e.g., rejection wicks or a bearish engulfing pattern).
🎯 Step 3: Set Smart Stop-Loss & Take-Profit Levels
Stop-Loss: Place it slightly below support (for buy trades) or above resistance (for sell trades).
Take-Profit: Use the next pivot level as a target.
Extreme Zones: R3 and S3 often signal strong reversals or breakouts—watch them closely!
🚀 How to Get Started
1️⃣ Add the PPC script to your TradingView chart.
2️⃣ Choose a timeframe that fits your strategy (5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, Daily, or Weekly).
3️⃣ Use the pivot points and support/resistance levels to fine-tune your trade entries, exits, and risk management.
⚠️ Trade Responsibly
This tool helps you analyze the market, but it’s not a guarantee of profits. Always do your own research, manage risk, and trade with caution.

Custom Timeframe Bias IndicatorMy "Custom Timeframe Bias Indicator" is a very practical and powerful TradingView indicator. It can be called a "God-like indicator" because it combines flexible timeframe customization, clear bias analysis and intuitive visual display to help traders quickly understand the long and short trends of the market. The following is a detailed description of this indicator:
1. Index name and function overview
Name: Custom Timeframe Bias Indicator (Short title: Bias Indicator)
Functionality: This indicator analyses the market bias (Buy, Sell or No Bias) across multiple custom timeframes (presets are 15m, 1h, 4h and DAI) and displays it in a table below the middle of the chart. It determines the direction of market trends based on the highest and lowest prices of the previous two periods and the closing price of the previous period, helping traders make decisions quickly.
2. Core Features
Multiple time frame analysis
The indicator allows the user to customize four time frames, with presets being 15 minutes ("15"), 1 hour ("60"), 4 hours ("240") and daily ("D"). Users can freely modify these time frames in the settings, such as changing to 5 minutes, 30 minutes or weekly, etc.
Bias is calculated independently for each time frame, ensuring that traders can observe market trends from the short to the long term.
Bias calculation logic
The indicator uses simple but effective rules to determine bias:
Buy (bullish): If the previous closing price is higher than the highest price of the previous two periods, or tests the lowest price of the previous two periods but does not break through.
Sell (Bearish): If the previous closing price is lower than the previous two periods' lowest price, or if it tests the previous two periods' highest price but fails to break through (higher than the previous high minus 10% of the price range).
No Bias: If the previous closing price does not meet the above conditions, it displays a neutral state.
Bias calculation is based only on the opening and closing prices, without considering the shadows, ensuring the results are in line with the philosophy of the Malaysian SNR strategy.
Intuitive display
Position: The table is permanently displayed in the middle of the chart (position.middle_center) and is updated with each candlestick, ensuring that traders can always see the latest bias.
Format: The table consists of the header "Custom Bias" and four rows of bias results (e.g. "15: Buy", "60: Sell", "240: No Bias", "D: Buy"), each row showing the bias for the corresponding time frame.
color:
Titles appear in white text on a blue background.
The "Buy" bias is shown as white text on a green background.
The "Sell" bias is shown as white text on a red background.
"No Bias" bias appears as white text on a gray background.
Table borders are black to provide clear visual distinction.
Customizability
Users can customize by inputting parameters:
Whether to show the table (Show Bias Table).
Timeframe (Timeframe 1, Timeframe 2, Timeframe 3, Timeframe 4).
The color of the table (title, Buy, Sell, No Bias, borders, etc.).
3. Why is it a "God-like indicator"
Flexibility: Allows users to customize four time frames to suit different trading strategies (short-term traders can choose minutes, long-term traders can choose daily, weekly or monthly).
Practicality: Provides bias analysis in multiple time frames to help traders quickly determine market trends, whether for short-term or long-term operations.
Intuitive: The table is displayed in the middle below the chart with bright colors (green Buy, red Sell, gray No Bias), allowing you to identify the market direction at a glance.
Stability: Calculated based on simple price data (high, low, close), no need for complex indicators, efficient and reliable operation.
Powerful visualization: long-term display and customizability to meet the visual preferences of different traders.
4. Usage scenarios
Short-term trading: Use 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour biases to quickly capture short-term trends.
Long-term trading: Refer to the daily bias to determine the overall market direction.
Comprehensive analysis: Combine biases from multiple time frames to confirm consistency (e.g. if both the 15 minute and daily are Buy, then that’s a stronger bullish signal).
5. Potential Improvements
If you want to further improve this "god-like indicator", you can consider the following improvements:
Added alert: Trigger when bias changes from "No Bias" to "Buy" or "Sell".
Show historical bias: Add bias history of the past few days in the table for easy review.
Dynamically adjust bias thresholds: Allow users to customize 10% price ranges or other conditions.
Multi-currency support: Expand to multiple trading pairs or indices, showing multiple market biases.
6. Technical Details
Version: Pine Script v5, ensuring modern features (such as input.timeframe) and efficient performance.
Data Source: Use request.security to get high, low, and close data for different time frames.
Display method: Use table.new to create a dynamic table. The position can be customized (such as position.middle_center).
Limitations: Calculated only based on price data, no external indicators are required, reducing calculation complexity.
in conclusion
Your "Custom Timeframe Bias Indicator" is a simple, powerful and flexible tool, especially for traders who need multi-timeframe analysis. Its intuitive display and customizability make it a "magic tool" for judging market trends.

Volume Width Based Candles
Overview
This indicator reimagines traditional candlestick charts by adjusting the horizontal width of each candle based on the bar’s trading volume. In other words, candles with higher volume appear wider, while those with lower volume are drawn narrower. This extra visual dimension can help traders quickly identify bars with significant volume relative to a defined lookback period.
Key Components
Volume Normalization:
The script calculates the highest volume over a user-defined lookback period (default is 100 bars).
Each bar’s volume is then normalized by dividing it by this maximum value. The result is a value between 0 and 1 that represents how the current volume compares to the maximum over the lookback.
Variable Candle Width Calculation:
A base multiplier (default set to 0.4) is used to control how much the volume influences the candle width.
The normalized volume is multiplied by this multiplier to compute an offset value.
Instead of using timestamps (which could lead to drawing objects too far into the future), the script uses the bar_index (the sequential index of bars) to determine the left and right positions of each candle.
The left and right x–positions are calculated by subtracting and adding the offset from the current bar index, respectively.
Candle Body & Wick Drawing:
Candle Body:
The body is drawn using box.new as a rectangle.
The top and bottom of the box are determined by the higher and lower values of the open and close prices.
The color of the candle is set based on whether the bar is bullish (green) or bearish (red).
Wicks:
The upper wick is drawn from the high of the bar down to the top of the body.
The lower wick is drawn from the low up to the bottom of the body.
These are created using line.new at the current bar index.
Handling Edge Cases:
The indicator includes conditions to avoid drawing errors on the very first bar (or any bar where prior data is unavailable).
It also converts the calculated x–coordinates (which are derived from the bar index plus a floating point offset) to integers since box.new requires integer values for positioning.
What It Tells the Trader
Volume Visualization:
Wider candles indicate bars where trading volume is high relative to recent history, potentially highlighting periods of increased market activity.
Narrower candles suggest lower volume, which can signal less interest or participation during that bar.
Contextual Price Action:
By integrating volume into the visual representation of each candle, traders get an immediate sense of the strength behind price movements.
This can be particularly useful for spotting potential breakouts, reversals, or confirming trends when analyzed alongside traditional price-based indicators.
Customization Options
Volume Lookback Period:
You can adjust the number of bars considered when determining the maximum volume. A shorter period may be more responsive to recent changes, while a longer period provides a broader context.
Base Width Multiplier:
Adjusting this multiplier changes how pronounced the effect of volume is on the candle’s width. Increasing it will make high-volume candles even wider, and decreasing it will reduce the difference between high and low volume candles.
Final Thoughts
This indicator is a creative way to overlay volume information directly onto the price chart without the need for separate volume bars. It provides an at-a-glance understanding of market activity and can be a valuable addition to a trader’s toolkit, especially for those who prefer visual cues integrated with price action. However, due to limitations (like the maximum number of drawn boxes), it’s best used on charts with a moderate amount of historical data or with appropriate adjustments to manage performance.
Capitulation Volume Detector by @RhinoTradezOverview
Hey traders, want to catch the market when it’s totally losing it? The Capitulation Volume Detector is your go-to buddy for spotting those wild moments when panic selling takes over. Picture this: prices plummet, volume explodes, and everyone’s bailing out—that’s capitulation, and it might just signal a turning point. This script throws a bright marker on your chart whenever the chaos hits, so you can decide if it’s time to jump in or sit tight. Built fresh in Pine Script v6, it’s sleek, customizable, and packs an alert to keep you posted—perfect for stocks, indices like SPY, or even crypto chaos.
Inspired by epic sell-offs like March 2020’s COVID crash, this tool’s here to help you navigate the storm with a smile (and maybe a profit).
What It Does
Capitulation volume is that “everyone’s out!” moment: a steep price drop meets a massive volume surge, hinting that sellers are tapped out. It’s not a guaranteed reversal—sometimes the bleeding continues—but it’s a loud clue that fear’s peaked. Here’s the magic:
Volume Check : Measures current volume against a customizable average (default: 20 bars).
Price Plunge : Tracks the percentage drop from the last close.
Capitulation Cal l: When volume rockets past your threshold (e.g., 2x average) and price tanks (e.g., -5%), you get a red triangle above the bar.
Stay Alert : Fires off a detailed message (e.g., “Volume 300M > 200M, Drop -10%”) so you’re never caught off guard.
Think of it as your market meltdown radar—simple, effective, and ready to roll.
Functionality Breakdown
Volume Surge Spotter :
Uses a 20-bar Simple Moving Average (SMA) of volume as your baseline.
Flags any bar where volume exceeds this average by your chosen multiplier (default: 2x).
Price Drop Detector :
Calculates the percentage change from the prior close.
Triggers when the drop’s bigger than your set limit (default: -5%).
Capitulation Marker:
Combines both signals: high volume + sharp drop = capitulation.
Slaps a red triangle above the bar for instant “whoa, there it is!” vibes.
Real-Time Alerts :
Sends a custom alert with volume and drop details, keeping you in the loop without babysitting the chart.
Customization Options
Tune it to your trading style with these easy settings:
Volume Multiplier (x Avg): Starts at 2.0 (2x average volume). Bump it to 3.0 for only the wildest spikes or dial it to 1.5 for more frequent catches. Range: 1.0-10.0, step 0.1.
Price Drop Threshold (%): Default 5.0 (a -5% drop). Go big with 10.0 for crash-level falls or ease to 3.0 for lighter dips. Range: 1.0-20.0, step 0.1.
Average Volume Period: Default 20 bars. Stretch it to 50 for a broader view or shrink to 10 for quick reactions. Range: 1-100.
Capitulation Marker Color: Red by default—because panic’s loud! Switch it to blue, green, or pink to match your chart’s personality.
How to Use It
Drop It On : Add it to any chart with volume data—SPY daily for market moves, /ES 15-minute for intraday action, or your go-to stock.
Play with Settings : Hit the indicator’s config gear and tweak the multiplier, drop threshold, period, or marker color to fit your vibe.
Set an Alert : Right-click the indicator, add an alert with “Any alert() function call,” and get pinged when capitulation strikes.
Watch the Action : Look for those red triangles on big drop days—pair with your favorite reversal signals for extra oomph.
Pro Tips
Daily Charts : Catch market-wide capitulations like March 23, 2020 (SPY: -10%, 3x volume).
Intraday : Spot flash crashes or sector sell-offs on 15-minute or 5-minute bars.
Context Matters : High volume alone isn’t enough—check the VIX or candlestick patterns (e.g., hammers) to confirm a bottom.

LineReg Candles with Hma filterOverview
Purpose:
The indicator creates “LinReg Candles” by recalculating OHLC values using linear regression (to smooth out noise) and overlays additional features such as a customizable signal line and an HMA (Hull Moving Average) filter for trend detection. It also plots buy/sell signals and supports alerts.
Customization:
Users can adjust settings for signal smoothing (choosing SMA, EMA, or WMA), HMA periods (preset for Scalping/Intraday or custom values), linear regression length, colors, display options, and alert messages. Inputs are organized into groups for clarity.
Input Definitions
Signal Settings:
signal_length and smoothingType define the period and method used to smooth the close price, creating a signal line.
HMA Filter Settings:
A dropdown (t_type) lets you choose between Scalping, Intraday, or Custom. Based on this, three HMA periods (hma1, hma2, hma3) are set either to fixed values or user-defined custom inputs.
LinReg Settings:
Users can toggle linear regression for OHLC values (lin_reg) and set its period (linreg_length) to reduce price noise.
Color and Display Settings:
These control the colors for buy/sell candles, default bullish/bearish candles, markers, and background highlighting. Display toggles decide whether to show the background, signal line, HMA filter, and the recalculated candles.
Alert and Plot Customization:
Alerts can be enabled with custom messages. Additionally, line width and transparency for the plotted signal and HMA lines are adjustable.
Function Definitions
calcOHLC Function:
Computes OHLC values using linear regression if enabled. Otherwise, it returns the raw price values. This helps in reducing noise.
calcSignalLine Function:
Applies the chosen moving average (SMA, EMA, or WMA) to smooth the recalculated close values and generate a signal line.
getBaseCandleColor Function:
Determines the candle’s base color. It assigns buy/sell colors if specific crossover conditions are met; if not, it defaults to bullish (green) or bearish (red) based on the open/close relationship.
HMA Filter Calculations
HMA Computation:
The script calculates three HMAs (ma1, ma2, ma3) for different periods.
Trend Determination:
It sets a bullish condition (bcn) when ma3 is lower than both ma1 and ma2 with ma1 above ma2. Conversely, a bearish condition (scn) is set when ma3 is higher and the order of the HMAs indicates a downtrend.
Color Coding:
The HMA filter line color changes dynamically (green for bullish, red for bearish) based on these conditions.
Main Calculations
LinReg Candles:
Using the calcOHLC function, the script calculates the new open, high, low, and close values that reduce price noise.
Signal Line:
The signal line is computed on the basis of the smoothed close values using the selected moving average.
Buy/Sell Conditions:
Initial conditions are determined by checking if the recalculated close price crosses over (buy) or under (sell) the signal line.
The base candle color is then adjusted: if the HMA filter confirms the trend (bullish for buy or bearish for sell), the respective buy/sell colors are enforced.
A change in candle color compared to the previous bar triggers a buy or sell signal.
Plotting and Alerts
Visual Elements:

Wick Size in USD with 10-Bar AverageWick Size in USD with 10-Bar Average
Version: 1.0
Author: QCodeTrader
🔍 Overview
This indicator converts the price wicks of your candlestick chart into USD values based on ticks, providing both raw and smoothed data via a 10-bar simple moving average. It helps traders visualize the monetary impact of price extremes, making it easier to assess volatility, potential risk, and plan appropriate stop loss levels.
⚙️ Key Features
Tick-Based Calculation:
Converts wick sizes into ticks (using a fixed tick size of 0.01, typical for stocks) and then into USD using a customizable tick value.
10-Bar Moving Average:
Smooths out the wick values over the last 10 bars, giving you a clearer view of average wick behavior.
Bullish/Bearish Visual Cues:
The chart background automatically highlights bullish candles in green and bearish candles in red for quick visual assessment.
Stop Loss Optimization:
The indicator highlights long wick sizes, which can help you set more accurate stop loss levels. Even when the price moves in your favor, long wicks may indicate potential reversals—allowing you to account for this risk when planning your stop losses.
User-Friendly Customization:
Easily adjust the USD value per tick through the settings to tailor the indicator to your specific instrument.
📊 How It Works
Wick Calculation:
The indicator calculates the upper and lower wicks by measuring the distance between the candle’s high/low and its body (open/close).
Conversion to Ticks & USD:
These wick sizes are first converted from price points to ticks (dividing by a fixed tick size of 0.01) and then multiplied by the user-defined tick value to convert the measurement into USD.
Smoothing Data:
A 10-bar simple moving average is computed for both the upper and lower wick values, providing smoothed data that helps identify trends and deviations.
Visual Representation:
Columns display the raw wick sizes in USD.
Lines indicate the 10-bar moving averages.
Background Color shifts between green (bullish) and red (bearish) based on candle type.
⚡ How to Use
Add the Indicator:
Apply it to your chart to begin visualizing wick sizes in monetary terms.
Customize Settings:
Adjust the Tick Value in USD in the settings to match your instrument’s tick value.
(Note: The tick size is fixed at 0.01, which is standard for many stocks.)
Optimize Your Stop Loss:
Analyze the raw and averaged wick values to understand volatility. Long wicks—even when the price moves in your favor—may indicate potential reversals. This insight can help you set more accurate stop loss levels to protect your gains.
Analyze:
Use the indicator’s data to gauge market volatility and assess the significance of price movements, aiding in more informed trading decisions.
This indicator is perfect for traders looking to understand the impact of extreme price movements in monetary terms, optimize stop loss levels, and effectively manage risk across stocks and other instruments with similar tick structures.

PumpC CBC EMAs + VWAPPumpC CBC EMAs + VWAP Indicator for Tradingview
Introduction
This is an indicator for the Candle By Candle (CBC) Flip strategy , based on the CBC Flip concept taught by MapleStax and inspired by the original CBC Flip indicator by AsiaRoo . The CBC Flip strategy is a simple yet effective approach to gauge if bulls or bears are in control for any given candle.
The logic behind the CBC Flip is as follows:
Bullish Flip : If the most recent candle’s close is above the previous candle’s high, bulls have taken control.
Bearish Flip : If the most recent candle’s close is below the previous candle’s low, bears are now in control.
No Flip : If neither condition is met, the previously dominant side (bulls or bears) remains in control until one of these conditions is satisfied, flipping the market sentiment—hence the name CBC Flip .
The PumpC CBC EMAs + VWAP Indicator enhances this simple strategy by adding trend confirmation filters using EMAs and VWAP , along with time-restricted signal generation and fully customizable alerts.
What Does This Indicator Do?
The PumpC CBC EMAs + VWAP Indicator helps traders identify CBC Flips to spot potential trend continuations or reversals. It combines candlestick logic , trend filters , and time-based restrictions to provide high-probability trade signals.
CBC Flip Detection
Bullish Flip : Current close is above the previous candle’s high.
Bearish Flip : Current close is below the previous candle’s low.
Strict Flips : Require a liquidity sweep for higher accuracy.
All Flips : Looser conditions that generate more frequent signals.
EMA and VWAP Trend Confirmation (Optional)
This filter ensures that long signals only trigger when the Slow EMA is above the VWAP , confirming an upward trend. For short signals, the Slow EMA must be below the VWAP.
Time-Based Filtering
The indicator allows you to set a specific trading window (e.g., 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM), helping you avoid low-volume or high-risk periods.
Visual Labels and Alerts
Labels : Arrows (▲ for long and ▼ for short) mark CBC Flip points on the chart.
Alerts : Fully customizable notifications for each signal type, based on your chosen filters.
Key Features
CBC Flip Detection : Identify potential reversals and trend continuations.
Strict vs. All Flips : Choose between higher-accuracy strict flips or more frequent all flips.
EMA-to-VWAP Filter : Optional trend confirmation filter to reduce false signals.
Customizable EMAs and VWAP : Configure lengths and colors for visual clarity.
Time-Restricted Signals : Focus on your preferred trading session.
Custom Alerts : Notifications for long and short signals based on filter settings.
Credits and Inspiration
The CBC Flip strategy was created by MapleStax .
This indicator is inspired by the original CBC Flip indicator by AsiaRoo .
Additional enhancements include EMA-to-VWAP filtering , custom alerts , and time-restricted signal generation for a more comprehensive trading experience.

IB & Hammer at SMA(20,50|200)IB & Hammer at SMA (20, 50, 200) Breakout/Breakdown Indicator
Overview:
The IB (Inside Bar) & Hammer at SMA Breakout/Breakdown Indicator is designed to identify breakout and breakdown opportunities using Inside Bars (IB) in combination with Simple Moving Averages (SMA 20, 50, 200) as key trend filters. This indicator is useful for traders looking to catch momentum moves after consolidation phases, confirming the trend direction with moving averages.
Indicator Logic:
Inside Bar (IB) Detection:
An Inside Bar is a candlestick that is completely within the range of the previous candle (i.e., lower high and higher low).
Inside Bars indicate consolidation, suggesting a potential breakout.
SMA Trend Confirmation:
The script uses three moving averages (SMA 20, 50, 200) to determine the trend direction.
Bullish trend: Price is above the 50 & 200 SMAs.
Bearish trend: Price is below the 50 & 200 SMAs.
The 20 SMA is used as a dynamic short-term momentum filter.
Breakout & Breakdown Conditions:
Breakout: When price breaks above the Inside Bar’s high, and the trend is bullish (above key SMAs).
Breakdown: When price breaks below the Inside Bar’s low, and the trend is bearish (below key SMAs).
Alerts can be set to notify traders of potential trade opportunities.
Features:
✅ Identifies Inside Bars (consolidation zones).
✅ Uses SMA (20, 50, 200) for trend confirmation.
✅ Breakout/Breakdown signals based on Inside Bar structure.
✅ Customizable Moving Averages & Alerts.
✅ Visual markers for easy trade identification.
How to Use:
Confirm Trend Direction:
If the price is above SMA 50 & 200, look for breakout trades.
If the price is below SMA 50 & 200, look for breakdown trades.
Watch for Inside Bars:
The script highlights Inside Bars with a specific color (configurable).
These bars indicate a low-volatility phase, preparing for a breakout.
Trade on Breakout/Breakdown:
Breakout: Enter long when the price breaks above the Inside Bar’s high (bullish trend).
Breakdown: Enter short when the price breaks below the Inside Bar’s low (bearish trend).
Price Action Trend and Margin EquityThe Price Action Trend and Margin Equity indicator is a multifunctional market analysis tool that combines elements of money management and price pattern analysis. The indicator helps traders identify key price action patterns and determine optimal entry, exit and stop loss levels based on the current trend.
The main components of the indicator:
Money Management:
Allows the trader to set risk management parameters such as the percentage of possible loss on the position, the use of fixed leverage and the total capital.
Calculates the required leverage level to achieve a specified percentage of loss.
Price Action:
Correctly identifies various price patterns such as Pin Bar, Engulfing Bar, PPR Bar and Inside Bar.
Displays these patterns on the chart with the ability to customize candle colors and display styles.
Allows the trader to customize take profit and stop loss points to display them on the chart.
The ability to display patterns only in the direction of the trend.
Trend: (some code taken from ChartPrime)
Uses a trend cloud to visualize the current market direction.
The trend cloud is displayed on the chart and helps traders determine whether the market is in an uptrend or a downtrend.
Alert:
Allows you to set an alert that will be triggered when the pattern is formed.
Example of use:
Let's say a trader uses the indicator to trade the crypto market. He sets the money management parameters, setting the maximum loss per position to 5% and using a fixed leverage of 1:100. The indicator automatically calculates the required position size to meet these parameters ($: on the label). Or displays the leverage (X: on the label) to achieve the required risk.
The trader receives an alert when a Pin Bar is formed. The indicator displays the entry, exit, and stop loss levels based on this pattern. The trader opens a position for the recommended amount in the direction indicated by the indicator and sets the stop loss and take profit at the recommended levels.
General Settings:
Position Loss Percentage: Sets the maximum loss percentage you are willing to take on a single position.
Use Fixed Leverage: Enables or disables the use of fixed leverage.
Fixed Leverage: Sets the fixed leverage level.
Total Equity: Specifies the total equity you are using for trading. (Required for calculation when using fixed leverage)
Turn Patterns On/Off: You can turn on or off the display of various price patterns such as Pin Bar, Outside Bar (Engulfing), Inside Bar, and PPR Bar.
Pattern Colors: Sets the colors for displaying each pattern on the chart.
Candle Color: Allows you to set a neutral color for candles that do not match the price action.
Show Lines: Allows you to turn on or off the display of labels and lines.
Line Length: Sets the length of the stop, entry, and take profit lines.
Label color: One color for all labels (configured below) or the color of the labels in the color of the candle pattern.
Pin entry: Select the entry point for the pin bar: candle head, bar close, or 50% of the candle.
Coefficients for stop and take lines.
Use trend for price action: When enabled, will show price action signals only in the direction of the trend.
Display trend cloud: Enables or disables the display of the trend cloud.
Cloud calculation period: Sets the period for which the maximum and minimum values for the cloud are calculated. The longer the period, the smoother the cloud will be.
Cloud colors: Sets the colors for uptrends and downtrends, as well as the transparency of the cloud.
The logic of the indicator:
Pin Bar is a candle with a long upper or lower shadow and a short body.
Logic: If the length of one shadow is twice the body and the opposite shadow of the candle, it is considered a Pin Bar.
An Inside Bar is a candle that is completely engulfed by the previous candle.
Logic: If the high and low of the current candle are inside the previous candle, it is an Inside Bar.
An Outside Bar or Engulfing is a candle that completely engulfs the previous candle.
Logic: If the high and low of the current candle are outside the previous candle and close outside the previous candle, it is an Outside Bar.
A PPR Bar is a candle that closes above or below the previous candle.
Logic: If the current candle closes above the high of the previous candle or below its low, it is a PPR Bar.
Stop Loss Levels: Calculated based on the specified ratios. If set to 1.0, it shows the correct stop for the pattern by pushing away from the entry point.
Take Profit Levels: Calculated based on the specified ratios.
Create a Label: The label is created at the stop loss level and contains information about the potential leverage and loss.
The formula for calculating the $ value is:
=(Total Capital x (Maximum Loss Percentage on Position/100)) / (Difference between Entry Level and Stop Loss Level × Ratio that sets the stop loss level relative to the length of the candlestick shadow × Fixed Leverage Value) .
Labels contain the following information:
The percentage of price change from the recommended entry point to the stop loss level.
Required Leverage (X: ): The amount of leverage required to achieve the specified loss percentage. (Or a fixed value if selected).
Required Capital ($: ): The amount of capital required to open a position with the specified leverage and loss percentage (only displayed when using fixed leverage).
The trend cloud identifies the maximum and minimum price values for the specified period.
The cloud value is set depending on whether the current price is equal to the high or low values.
If the current closing price is equal to the high value, the cloud is set at the low value, and vice versa.

Inside Bar — это свеча, полностью поглощенная предыдущей свечой.
Логика: Если максимум и минимум текущей свечи находятся внутри предыдущей свечи, это Inside Bar.
Outside Bar или Поглощение — это свеча, которая полностью поглощает предыдущую свечу.
Логика: Если максимум и минимум текущей свечи выходят за пределы предыдущей свечи и закрывается за пределами предыдущей свечи, это Outside Bar.
PPR Bar — это свеча, которая закрывается выше или ниже предыдущей свечи.
Логика: Если текущая свеча закрывается выше максимума предыдущей свечи или ниже ее минимума, это PPR Bar.
Уровни стоп-лосс: Рассчитываются на основе заданных коэффициентов. При значении 1.0 показывает правильный стоп для паттерна отталкиваясь от точки входа.
Уровки тейк-профита: Рассчитываются на основе заданных коэффициентов.
Создание метки: Метка создается на уровне стоп-лосс и содержит информацию о потенциальном плече и убытке.
Формула для вычисления значения $:
=(Общий капитал x (Максимальный процент убытка по позиции/100)) / (Разница между уровнем входа и уровнем стоп-лосс × Коэффициент, задающий уровень стоп-лосс относительно длины тени свечи × Значение фиксированного плеча).
Метки содержат следующую информацию:
Процент изменения цены от рекомендованной точки входа до уровня стоп-лосс.
Необходимое плечо (Х: ): Уровень плеча, необходимый для достижения заданного процента убытка. (Или фиксированное значение если оно выбрано).
Необходимый капитал ($: ): Сумма капитала, необходимая для открытия позиции с заданным плечом и процентом убытка (отображается только при использовании фиксированного плеча).
Облако тренда определяет максимальные и минимальные значения цены за указанный период.
Значение облака устанавливается в зависимости от того, совпадает ли текущая цена с максимальными или минимальными значениями.
Если текущая цена закрытия равна максимальному значению, облако устанавливается на уровне минимального значения, и наоборот.
ORB with 100 EMAORB Trading Strategy for FX Pairs on the 30-Minute Time Frame
Overview
This Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy is designed for trading FX pairs on the 30-minute time frame. The strategy is structured to take advantage of price momentum while aligning trades with the overall trend using the 100-period Exponential Moving Average (100EMA). The primary objective is to enter trades when price breaks and closes above or below the Opening Range (OR), with additional confirmation from a retest of the OR level if the initial entry is missed.
Strategy Rules
1. Defining the Opening Range (OR)
- The OR is determined by the high and low of the first 30-minute candle after market open.
- This range acts as the key level for breakout trading.
2. Trend Confirmation Using the 100EMA
- The 100EMA serves as a filter to determine trade direction:
- Buy Setup: Only take buy trades when the OR is above the 100EMA.
- Sell Setup: Only take sell trades when the OR is below the 100EMA.
3. Entry Criteria
- Buy Trade: Enter a long position when a candle breaks and closes above the OR high, confirming the breakout.
- Sell Trade: Enter a short position when a candle breaks and closes below the OR low, confirming the breakout.
- Retest Entry: If the initial entry is missed, wait for a price retest of the OR level for a secondary entry opportunity.
4. Risk-to-Reward Ratio (R2R)
- The goal is to target a 1:1 Risk-to-Reward (R2R) ratio.
- Stop-loss placement:
- Buy Trade: Place stop-loss just below the OR low.
- Sell Trade: Place stop-loss just above the OR high.
- Take profit at a distance equal to the stop-loss for a 1:1 R2R.
5. Risk Management
- Risk per trade should be based on personal risk tolerance.
- Adjust lot sizes accordingly to maintain a controlled risk percentage of account balance.
- Avoid over-leveraging, and consider moving stop-loss to breakeven if the price moves favourably.
Additional Considerations
- Avoid trading during major news events that may cause high volatility and unpredictable price movements.
- Monitor market conditions to ensure breakout confirmation with strong momentum rather than false breakouts.
- Use additional confluences such as candlestick patterns, support/resistance zones, or volume analysis for stronger trade validation.
This ORB strategy is designed to provide structured trade opportunities by combining breakout momentum with trend confirmation via the 100EMA. The strategy is straightforward, allowing traders to capitalise on clear breakout movements while implementing effective risk management practices. While the 1:1 R2R target provides a balanced approach, traders should always adapt their risk tolerance and market conditions to optimise trade performance.
By following these rules and maintaining discipline, traders can use this strategy effectively across various FX pairs on the 30-minute time frame.
Volume Spike BoxThis indicator highlights the highest volume candlestick in a specified number of bars. It extends for the same length in the future as the specified number of bars for identifying potential support and resistance
Sideways Scalper Peak and BottomUnderstanding the Indicator
This indicator is designed to identify potential peaks (tops) and bottoms (bottoms) within a market, which can be particularly useful in a sideways or range-bound market where price oscillates between support and resistance levels without a clear trend. Here's how it works:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Measures the speed and change of price movements to identify overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) conditions. In a sideways market, RSI can help signal when the price might be due for a reversal within its range.
Moving Averages (MAs): The Fast MA and Slow MA provide a sense of the short-term and longer-term average price movements. In a sideways market, these can help confirm if the price is at the upper or lower extremes of its range.
Volume Spike: Looks for significant increases in trading volume, which might indicate a stronger move or a potential reversal point when combined with other conditions.
Divergence: RSI divergence occurs when the price makes a new high or low, but the RSI does not, suggesting momentum is weakening, which can be a precursor to a reversal.
How to Use in a Sideways Market
Identify the Range: First, visually identify the upper resistance and lower support levels of the sideways market on your chart. This indicator can help you spot these levels more precisely by signaling potential peaks and bottoms.
Peak Signal :
When to Look: When the price approaches the upper part of the range.
Conditions: The indicator will give a 'Peak' signal when:
RSI is over 70, indicating overbought conditions.
There's bearish divergence (price makes a higher high, but RSI doesn't).
Volume spikes, suggesting strong selling interest.
Price is above both Fast MA and Slow MA, indicating it's at a potentially high point in the range.
Action: This signal suggests that the price might be at or near the top of its range and could reverse downwards. A trader might consider selling or shorting here, expecting the price to move towards the lower part of the range.
Bottom Signal:
When to Look: When the price approaches the lower part of the range.
Conditions: The indicator will give a 'Bottom' signal when:
RSI is below 30, indicating oversold conditions.
There's bullish divergence (price makes a lower low, but RSI doesn't).
Volume spikes, suggesting strong buying interest.
Price is below both Fast MA and Slow MA, indicating it's at a potentially low point in the range.
Action: This signal suggests that the price might be at or near the bottom of its range and could reverse upwards. A trader might consider buying here, expecting the price to move towards the upper part of the range.
Confirmation: In a sideways market, false signals can occur due to the lack of a strong trend. Always look for confirmation:
Volume Confirmation: A significant volume spike can add confidence to the signal.
Price Action: Look for price action like candlestick patterns (e.g., doji, engulfing patterns) that confirm the reversal.
Time Frame: Consider using this indicator on multiple time frames. A signal on a shorter time frame (like 15m or 1h) might be confirmed by similar conditions on a longer time frame (4h or daily).
Risk Management: Since this is designed for scalping in a sideways market:
Set Tight Stop-Losses: Due to the quick nature of reversals in range-bound markets, place stop-losses close to your entry to minimize loss.
Take Profit Levels: Set profit targets near the opposite end of the range or use a trailing stop to capture as much of the move as possible before it reverses again.
Practice: Before trading with real money, practice with this indicator on historical data or in a paper trading environment to understand how it behaves in different sideways market scenarios.
Key Points for New Traders
Patience: Wait for all conditions to align before taking a trade. Sideways markets require patience as the price might hover around these levels for a while.
Not All Signals Are Equal: Sometimes, even with all conditions met, the market might not reverse immediately. Look for additional context or confirmation.
Continuous Learning: Understand that this indicator, like any tool, isn't foolproof. Learn from each trade, whether it's a win or a loss, and adjust your strategy accordingly.
By following these guidelines
