Stairs Gain Strategy - MGI will explain step by step.
1- The position order filtering option is used to filter out duplicate positions.
2- The reason I use an ATR multiplier is to balance the ATR value that differs in instruments.
3- ATR lower limit and ATR upper limit values are to reduce unnecessary transactions and commission expenses in the horizontal market.
4- Strategy take profit and stop loss levels are calculated as percentages. The reason why there is no point account is that it can be used in the stock market.
5- Developer friends can get a more efficient result in forex market instruments by converting this to a point account.
Notice :
Variables are different in each instrument. Therefore, this strategy should be optimized for each instrument used.

CHOPperIt is based on the Choppiness Index indicator. It can show you when the market is in range. If the lines are below the lower band, it can be a strong trend, if it is inside the 2 bands, it is considered to be a choppy market, and if it is crossed down the upper band, it can be a developing trend.
This indicator does not show you the trend direction! This may be used as a confirmation indicator.
The improvements this indicator provides over the original:
It uses ATR instead of just TR (if ATR length is 1, it is the original TR)
It uses my ATRWO (ATR Without Outliers) indicator inside, which can remove extreme highs and lows from calculation. You can tune this by the "ATRWO STDev Mult" parameter. Higher value means more outliers are allowed.
It has 2 lines, one uses ATR(WO) (the blue one), which can be similar to the original Choppiness Index, the other uses standard deviation (the teal one).
The 2 lines can be used together, or you can hide one of them.
[KL] Mean Reversion (ATR) StrategyThis strategy will enter into a position when price volatility is relative high, betting that price will subsequently trend in a favourable direction.
Hypothesis : During periods of high price volatility, ATR will divert from its moving average by at least +/- one standard deviation. Eventually, ATR will revert back to the mean. However, just knowing the magnitude of increase/decrease of ATR does not give a trend signal, so we need to introduce a model in this script to predict whether the next bars will be up/down.
Trend Prediction : This strategy calculates the expected logarithmic return of the security (the "Drift") and considers prices to be moving in uptrend if the drift curve is upward sloping or if the drift value is positive.
Entry Conditions : Long position is entered when:
(a) ATR has diverted from mean by one standard deviation, and
(b) trend is predicted to move in our favor.
Exit Condition : When trailing stop loss is hit.
Results from backtesting against VOO (1H timeframe):
- approx 46% win rate over 491 trades, on average holding for 20 hours per trade
- price at the beginning of backtest (Jan. 2015) was $187.52, giving holding period return of ~120% had we not sold in between ("HPR of HODL'ing")
- this strategy gained ~159%, exceeding ~120% HPR of HODL'ing
Av3Based on the ANNE EA v3 for MT4. For use on FOREX.
if ATR is greater than ATR average taken from last 5 candles, then market considered as trending, and so Open(0)>Close(1)=buy Open(0)Close(1)=sell Open(0)
Relative ATR by Alejandro PThis is an indicator that expands the usability of ATR into a strong and valuable volatility indicator.
With the Relative ATR you can quickly see when the current market volatility its extremely low, normal or extremely high in relation to the past.
This provides traders with a much more valuable insight as to the current market conditions than normal volatility indicators.
A trader can, for example, decide to filter its strategy to only periods where the ATR is in its lowest percentiles which tells him that the market is unusually "quiet" recently and there may be a big breakout about to happen.
Or a trader can use the filter to avoid getting whipsawed with their strategy by avoiding taking trades when the Relative ATR is at its highest percentiles.
[EG] MA ATR ChannelsGreetings - the aim of this indicator was to code a single indicator with a selectable moving average, so I could examine price relationships to MA's and Average True Range (ATR) bollinger type bands. You can obviously approach this tool in so many different ways so I am going to share first an overview of moving averages and a short overview of how I use this this indicator.
Simple ( SMA ) – A simple average of the past N (length) prices. Just add the price data for each N (bar) and divide the total by N.
Exponential ( EMA ) – An exponential moving average with a greater weight for recent prices. The weighting is exponential. An N-period EMA takes more than N data points into account and gradually dilutes past data’s effect.
Double Exponential ( DEMA ) - Same as an EMA , the Double exponential moving average , or DEMA , is a measure of a security's trending average price that gives the even more weight to recent price data. Aimed to help reduce lag.
Triple Exponential ( TEMA ) - Same as an EMA , the Triple exponential moving average , or TEMA , is a measure of a security's trending average price that gives the even more weight to recent price data than EMA or DEMA . Aimed to help reduce lag.
Weighted ( WMA ) – An average of the past N prices with a linear weighting, again giving greater weight to more recent prices.
Hull ( HMA ) - The Hull Moving Average (developed by Alan Hull) has the purpose of reducing lag, increasing responsiveness while at the same time eliminating noise. It emphasises recent prices over older ones, resulting in a fast-acting yet smooth moving average that can be used to identify the prevailing market trend.
Wilder's (RMA) - Wilder's smoothing is a type of exponential moving average . It takes one parameter, the period n, and price. Larger values for n will have a greater smoothing effect on the input data but will also create more lag. It is equivalent to a 2n-1 Exponential Moving Average . For example, a 10 period Wilder's smoothing is the same as a 19 period exponential moving average .
Symmetrically Weighted ( SWMA ) - Weight distribution starts from median of given period and it's reduced linearly to the sides so the ending and starting point of period have the least weight. It's smooth and fast but reacts late to trend changes on higher lengths (lookback).
Arnaud Legoux ( ALMA ) - Arnaud Legoux Moving Average removes small price fluctuations and enhances trend via applying a moving average twice, once from left to right, and once from right to left and combines both. At the end of this process the phase shift (price lag) commonly associated with moving averages is significantly reduced.
Volume-Weighted ( VWMA ) - A Volume-Weighted Moving Average gives a different weight to each closing price and this weight depends on the volume of that period. For example, the closing price of a day with high volume will have a greater weight on the moving average value.
Volume Weighted Average Price ( VWAP ) - Though not necessarily a MA - Volume-weighted average price ( VWAP ) is a ratio of the cumulative share price to the cumulative volume traded over a given time period and so I thought would be useful as an ATR tool. The VWAP is calculated using the opening price for each day and adjusting in real time right up until the close of the session. Thus, the calculation uses intraday data only.
So what is Average True Range ?
Average True Range is a measure of volatility . It's an area that represents roughly how much you can expect a security to change in price over a time period. Average true range is usually calculated by applying Wilders Smoothing to True Range. If you want regular ATR - use RMA as the input for the ATR. The ATR is then divided into periods based on derivatives of Phi (3.14) and Fibs (0.618, 1.618 etc.) You will notice price bounces off the lines. Look for patterns.
The indicator - consisting of 3 parts:
Price/Fast MA - this is an MA anywhere between 3-20 periods that is reflective of very recent price action. It is red when price is below - and green when above. Recommendations : SMA , EMA , WMA , HMA
Trend/Medium MA - this is a slower MA that you could set anywhere between 30 - 100 periods that is reflective of overall bull/bear market trend depending on both it's direction and whether the Price MA / price is lower or higher. Recommendations: EMA , WMA , VWMA , RMA, ALMA
Average True Range - this is a way to measure and visualise range the price may be capable of in - if it is towards or below the 2.1 multiplier - a bull reversal is more likely and vice versea. The multi's are set to factors of Pi and Fibonacci ratio's. Green channel means bullish, red channel means bearish. Gold means sign of a likely reversal. If the PMA enters the channel - it is likely the reversal is cancelled for a short period more.
Recommendations : RMA, EMA , VWMA , ALMA , SWMA , VWAP
How I use it :
First of all - Consider longs when channel is green - or going to bounce on a support line - and consider shorts based on the opposite. This is not a buy/sell indicator - this is a MAP to PRICE to give reference and meaning to price movements across multiple time frames - very useful when using with a volume indicator and an RSI. I personally use it on the 3m chart but change the TFM to 5 for 15m data.

Supertrend BandsSupertrend Bands
What is the Supertrend indicator?
"The Supertrend indicator is a trend following overlay on your trading chart, much like a moving average, that shows you the current trend direction.
The indicator works well in a trending market but can give false signals when a market is trading in a range.
It uses the ATR (average true range) as part of its calculation which takes into account the volatility of the market. The ATR is adjusted using the multiplier setting which determines how sensitive the indicator is."
"For the basic Supertrend settings, you can adjust period and factor:
- The period setting is the lookback for the ATR calculation
- Factor is the what the ATR is multiplied by to offset the bands from price"
How to use this indicator
This indicator is inspired by a strategy I found. It includes four Supertrend indicators, each with different settings that displays trend strength and support/resistance zones. The default settings are optimal for cryptocurrency but do work quite well for traditional also. I highly recommend you try experimenting with different settings, increasing them to suit the instrument.
The bands are set from low to high, Band 1 being the fastest and Band 4 being the slowest. Band 4 is the one that sets the overall trend so when price is above Band 4, the trend is bullish and vice versa. Trend is strongest when price is above/below Band 1 and gets weaker as it filters through each band. Band 4 provides the strongest support/resistance and if that breaks the trend flips.
In the menu, you will see an option called "Remove Anti Trend?". It is enabled by default and it removes any bearish/resistance bands when the trend is up and any bullish/support bands when the trend is down. When turned off, it will show all Supertrend Bands as they are by default.
Bar Colors
Bar colors are optional and they reflect the current trend strength based on the Supertrend bands.
Alternate ways of using this indicator
You could leave everything as default or you can display individual bands. For instance, because I use many overlay indicators, most of the time I turn off all the bands and only show bar colors:
You can also turn off Bands 1 and 2 and only show the two slowest lengths:
This removes the noise of the two faster Supertrends.
Or just show the two fastest bands:
Any suggestions to improve this indicator are most welcome :)
Phoenix085-Strategies==>MTF - Average True Range + MovAvgFIRSTLY, Here are a few who have influenced my pinescripting immensely recently:
@JustUncleL
@BigBitsIO
@TheArtofTrading
@QuantNomad
@SquigglesNiggles and many many many more.
Overview:
> This indicator is a simple crossover of Moving Averages.
> In addition I am using ATR rising as an indication for Trending Price.
> The entry is made once the smaller moving average crosses the bigger moving average, and also the Closes above the Smaller moving average.
> but the only twist here is,
- the ATR source is One timeframe Higher(In this case same as the session).whereas the source for the Moving averages is one Timeframe Lower.
>i.e., if the Session is 1D, the Indicator checks if the ATR is rising in the DAILY TIMEFRAME,
*_* the trade entry is made once the MOVING AVERAGE crossover happens on ONE TIME FRAME lower, as per example, ATR --> 1D = MA -->4H.
> Moving Average ->
- Thick -> Bigger MA,
- Thin and Transparent -> Smaller MA,
> Also, the Color of the Thicker MOVING AVERAGE Changes as Below:
- When LongCondition is satisfied --> Color=Lime
- When ShortCondition is satisfied --> Color=Red
- When neither condition is satisfied --> Color=Gray
NOTE:
1) There is a limitation in using the Securities function for FREE USERS --> Only 500 bars are allowed. So to use the indicators with more data, you need an upgraded TV account.
2) Strategy still needs Fine tuning, but for now, use the Thicker moving average color LIME FOR LONG ENTRIES and RED FOR SHORT ENTRIES.
This is Free for Use and share
Day ATR H/L + Yesterday H/L + Today H/L - divinechartistNow you can monitor Yesterday's high and low on a small time frame, You no need to switch time frame every time.
Also, you can monitor support and resistance base on Day's ATR (Default Value is 14)
and also we used EMA of 21 for small-time trand identify.
This indicator helps you to find the best trade near to support and resistance. Using this indicator you can enter in trand with small STOPLOSS and for a BIG PROFIT.
EX :
If your current price is below 21EMA and also broke yesterday's low, so its probability to go more down.
Same, If the price is above 21EMA and the price broke yesterday's high so probability it's going more UP.
Also, you can book profit and set STOPLOSS base on ATR value.
if the price above or near TOP-ATR it's mean it's not the best price to buy, You can book a profit at this price or try to find short sell trade.
Same as if price below BOTTOM-ATR it's mean it's not the best price to sell, You can book a profit at this price or try to find buy trade.
VWMA_withATRstops_strategyThis strategy follows the trend when price is above VWMA indicator. I have modified entry and exit rules to get most out of it.
Instead of entering LONG when price crosses above VWMA, I have used RSI(14) of VWMA . that way it skips the false signals. (some extent)
ENTRY
========
1. VWMA setting is 33
2. When RSIofVwma is above 30 enter Long ( and also checks if price already broke the ATR Stop above line )
Stop Loss and Exits
==================
1. Exit is when price breaks the ATR stop loss
2. ATR setting is set as same VWMA Length and multiplier is 3.5
3. STOP Loss that I mentioned in the settings is being used to calculate the how many units can be purchased based on risk of capital value.
Note: There is NO hard stop loss. having above ATR stop loss works as Trailing stop loss

ATRCD, Average True Range Convergence DivergenceATRCD calculates a MACD over the Average True Range, therefore helping traders to spot momentum in volatility.
The Average True Range is a measurement of the average candle size over a period of time, i.e. when the candles are small, the ATR is low. ATR measures volatility .
The MACD is a momentum indicator. It measures market momentum based on the average closing prices over a period.
Therefore, using the MACD calculation over the ATR we get a measurement of momentum in volatility . The ATRCD is a concept at this point. I was curious to see whether such an indicator could provide any edge trading the markets. Because this is a MACD of the ATR the same concepts can be applied, e.g. spotting divergences, momentum trends, etc. Please be careful however, this indicator only looks like the MACD but it measures volatility and not price momentum . Maybe this can help traders confirm breakouts using price action?
Applying this indicator to the 12h of BTC/USDT we can see that we could be nearing a volatility expansion with a divergence on the histogram, and an ATRCD crossover.

Average True Range ShiftThis indicator builds on the idea of the Average True Range (ATR) as a way of measuring volatility. It uses two different ATRs to show a shift in market volatility.
It is mainly composed of two moving averages of ATR. One fast moving, which looks back at the previous 5 periods. One slow moving, which looks back at the previous 21 periods. Both ATRs have been normalized (show percentage instead of an absolute amount). The third component of this indicator is the histogram that is created by subtracting the slow moving average, from the fast moving average.
By having two ATRs of different lengths, traders can see how short term volatility compares to long term volatility, and how it is shifting over time. When the fast-moving crosses above the slow-moving, it will show a positive value on the histogram, meaning that short term volatility is increasing and higher than normal. When it crosses below, it will show a negative value on the histogram, meaning that short term volatility is decreasing, and lower than normal.
There are a variety of ways to utilize this indicator, and it will work in most markets. I find it is best to analyze macro market conditions on daily charts and above, rather than micro intraday moves.
[RichG] Easy MTF Strategy v1.1This is a second attempt at an easy to understand multiple time frame strategy. This one uses ATR for exits. If the position is long, and the price closes below the ATR multiplier, it triggers a close. If the position is short, and the price closes above the ATR/multiplier, it triggers a close. This generates a lot of little trades but is useful because it uses multiple time frames along with cutting losses when the ATR disagrees.
Smart Money Flow Index (SMFI) - Advanced SMC [PhenLabs]📊Smart Money Flow Index (SMFI)
Version: PineScript™v6
📌Description
The Smart Money Flow Index (SMFI) is an advanced Smart Money Concepts implementation that tracks institutional trading behavior through multi-dimensional analysis. This comprehensive indicator combines volume-validated Order Block detection, Fair Value Gap identification with auto-mitigation tracking, dynamic Liquidity Zone mapping, and Break of Structure/Change of Character detection into a unified system.
Unlike basic SMC indicators, SMFI employs a proprietary scoring algorithm that weighs five critical factors: Order Block strength (validated by volume), Fair Value Gap size and recency, proximity to Liquidity Zones, market structure alignment (BOS/CHoCH), and multi-timeframe confluence. This produces a Smart Money Score (0-100) where readings above 70 represent optimal institutional setup conditions.
🚀Points of Innovation
Volume-Validated Order Block Detection – Only displays Order Blocks when formation candle exceeds customizable volume multiplier (default 1.5x average), filtering weak zones and highlighting true institutional accumulation/distribution
Auto-Mitigation Tracking System – Fair Value Gaps and Order Blocks automatically update status when price mitigates them, with visual distinction between active and filled zones preventing trades on dead levels
Proprietary Smart Money Score Algorithm – Combines weighted factors (OB strength 25%, FVG proximity 20%, Liquidity 20%, Structure 20%, MTF 15%) into single 0-100 confidence rating updating in real-time
ATR-Based Adaptive Calculations – All distance measurements use 14-period Average True Range ensuring consistent function across any instrument, timeframe, or volatility regime without manual recalibration
Dynamic Age Filtering – Automatically removes liquidity levels and FVGs older than configurable thresholds preventing chart clutter while maintaining relevant levels
Multi-Timeframe Confluence Integration – Analyzes higher timeframe bias with customizable multipliers (2-10x) and incorporates HTF trend direction into Smart Money Score for institutional alignment
🔧Core Components
Order Block Engine – Detects institutional supply/demand zones using characteristic patterns (down-move-then-strong-up for bullish, up-move-then-strong-down for bearish) with minimum volume threshold validation, tracks mitigation when price closes through zones
Fair Value Gap Scanner – Identifies price imbalances where current candle's low/high leaves gap with two-candle-prior high/low, filters by minimum size percentage, monitors 50% fill for mitigation status
Liquidity Zone Mapper – Uses pivot high/low detection with configurable lookback to mark swing points where stop losses cluster, extends horizontal lines to visualize sweep targets, manages lifecycle through age-based removal
Market Structure Analyzer – Tracks pivot progression to identify trend through higher-highs/higher-lows (bullish) or lower-highs/lower-lows (bearish), detects Break of Structure and Change of Character for trend/reversal confirmation
Scoring Calculation Engine – Evaluates proximity to nearest Order Blocks using ATR-normalized distance, assesses FVG recency and distance, calculates liquidity proximity with age weighting, combines structure bias and MTF trend into smoothed final score
🔥Key Features
Customizable Display Limits – Control maximum Order Blocks (1-10), Liquidity Zones (1-10), and FVG age (10-200 bars) to maintain clean charts focused on most relevant institutional levels
Gradient Strength Visualization – All zones render with transparency-adjustable coloring where stronger/newer zones appear more solid and weaker/older zones fade progressively providing instant visual hierarchy
Educational Label System – Optional labels identify each zone type (Bullish OB, Bearish OB, Bullish FVG, Bearish FVG, BOS) with color-coded text helping traders learn SMC concepts through practical application
Real-Time Smart Money Score Dashboard – Top-right table displays current score (0-100) with color coding (green >70, yellow 30-70, red <30) plus trend arrow for at-a-glance confidence assessment
Comprehensive Alert Suite – Configurable notifications for Order Block formation, Fair Value Gap detection, Break of Structure events, Change of Character signals, and high Smart Money Score readings (>70)
Buy/Sell Signal Integration – Automatically plots triangle markers when Smart Money Score exceeds 70 with aligned market structure and fresh Order Block detection providing clear entry signals
🎨Visualization
Order Block Boxes – Shaded rectangles extend from formation bar spanning high-to-low of institutional candle, bullish zones in green, bearish in red, with customizable transparency (80-98%)
Fair Value Gap Zones – Rectangular areas marking imbalances, active FVGs display in bright colors with adjustable transparency, mitigated FVGs switch to gray preventing trades on filled zones
Liquidity Level Lines – Dashed horizontal lines extend from pivot creation points, swing highs in bearish color (short targets above), swing lows in bullish color (long targets below), opacity decreases with age
Structure Labels – "BOS" labels appear above/below price when Break of Structure confirmed, colored by direction (green bullish, red bearish), positioned at 1% beyond highs/lows for visibility
Educational Info Panel – Bottom-right table explains key terminology (OB, FVG, BOS, CHoCH) and score interpretation (>70 high probability) with semi-transparent background for readability

✅Best Use Cases
Order Block Retest Entries – After Break of Structure, wait for price retrace into fresh bullish Order Block with Smart Money Score >70, enter long on zone reaction targeting next liquidity level
Fair Value Gap Retracement Trading – When price creates FVG during strong move then retraces, enter as price approaches unfilled gap expecting institutional orders to continue trend
Liquidity Sweep Reversals – Monitor price approaching swing high/low liquidity zones against prevailing Smart Money Score trend, after stop hunt sweep watch for rejection into premium Order Block/FVG
Multi-Timeframe Confluence Setups – Identify alignment when current timeframe Order Block coincides with higher timeframe FVG plus MTF analysis showing matching trend bias
Break of Structure Continuations – After BOS confirms trend direction, trade pullbacks to nearest Order Block or FVG in direction of structure break using Smart Money Score >70 as entry filter
Change of Character Reversal Plays – When CHoCH detected indicating potential reversal, look for Smart Money Score pivot with opposing Order Block formation then enter on structure confirmation
⚠️Limitations
Lagging Pivot Calculations – Pivot-based features (Liquidity Zones, Market Structure) require bars to right of pivot for confirmation, meaning these elements identify levels retrospectively with delay equal to lookback period
Whipsaw in Ranging Markets – During choppy conditions, Order Blocks fail frequently and structure breaks produce false signals as Smart Money Score fluctuates without clear institutional bias, best used in trending markets
Volume Data Dependency – Order Block volume validation requires accurate volume data which may be incomplete on Forex pairs or limited in crypto exchange feeds
Subjectivity in Scoring Weights – Proprietary 25-20-20-20-15 weighting reflects general institutional behavior but may not optimize for specific instruments or market regimes, user cannot adjust factor weights
Visual Complexity on Lower Timeframes – Sub-hour timeframes generate excessive zones creating cluttered charts, requires aggressive display limit reduction and higher minimum thresholds
No Fundamental Integration – Indicator analyzes purely technical price action and volume without incorporating economic events, news catalysts, or fundamental shifts that override technical levels
💡What Makes This Unique
Unified SMC Ecosystem – Unlike indicators displaying Order Blocks OR FVGs OR Liquidity separately, SMFI combines all three institutional concepts plus market structure into single cohesive system
Proprietary Confidence Scoring – Rather than manual setup assessment, automated Smart Money Score quantifies probability by weighting five institutional dimensions into actionable 0-100 rating
Volume-Filtered Quality – Eliminates weak Order Blocks forming without institutional volume confirmation, ensuring displayed zones represent genuine accumulation/distribution
Adaptive Lifecycle Management – Automatically updates mitigation status and removes aged zones preventing trades on dead levels through continuous validity and age monitoring
Educational Integration – Built-in tooltips, labeled zones, and reference panel make indicator functional for both learning Smart Money Concepts and executing strategies
🔬How It Works
Order Block Detection – Scans for patterns where strong directional move follows counter-move creating last down-candle before rally (bullish OB) or last up-candle before sell-off (bearish OB), validates formations only when candle exhibits volume exceeding configurable multiple (default 1.5x) of 20-bar average volume
Fair Value Gap Identification – Compares current candle’s high/low against two-candles-prior low/high to detect price imbalances, calculates gap size as percentage of close and filters micro-gaps below minimum threshold (default 0.3%), monitors whether subsequent price fills 50% triggering mitigation status
Liquidity Zone Mapping – Employs pivot detection using configurable lookback (default 50 bars) to identify swing highs/lows where retail stops cluster, extends horizontal reference lines from pivot creation and applies age-based filtering to remove stale zones
Market Structure Analysis – Tracks pivot progression using structure-specific lookback (default 5 bars) to determine trend, confirms uptrend when new pivot high exceeds previous by minimum move percentage, detects Break of Structure when price breaks recent pivot level, flags Change of Character for potential reversals
Multi-Timeframe Confluence – When enabled, requests security data from higher timeframe (current TF × HTF multiplier, default 4x), compares HTF close against HTF 20-period MA to determine bias, contributes ±50 points to score ensuring alignment with institutional positioning on superior timeframe
Smart Money Score Calculation – Evaluates Order Block component via ATR-normalized distance producing max 100-point contribution weighted at 25%, assesses FVG factor through age penalty and distance at 20% weight, calculates Liquidity proximity at 20%, incorporates structure bias (±50-100 points) at 20%, adds MTF component at 15%, applies 3-period smoothing to reduce volatility

Renko BandsThis is renko without the candles, just the endpoint plotted as a line with bands around it that represent the brick size. The idea came from thinking about what renko actually gives you once you strip away the visual brick format. At its core, renko is a filtered price series that only updates when price moves a fixed amount, which means it's inherently a trend-following mechanism with built-in noise reduction. By plotting just the renko price level and surrounding it with bands at the brick threshold distances, you get something that works like regular volatility bands while still behaving as a trend indicator.
The center line is the current renko price, which trails actual price based on whichever brick sizing method you've selected. When price moves enough to complete a brick in the renko calculation, the center line jumps to the new brick level. The bands sit at plus and minus one brick size from that center line, showing you exactly how far price needs to move before the next brick would form. This makes the bands function as dynamic breakout levels. When price touches or crosses a band, you know a new renko brick is forming and the trend calculation is updating.
What makes this cool is the dual-purpose nature. You can use it like traditional volatility bands where the outer edges represent boundaries of normal price movement, and breaks beyond those boundaries signal potential trend continuation or exhaustion. But because the underlying calculation is renko rather than standard deviation or ATR around a moving average, the bands also give you direct insight into trend state. When the center line is rising consistently and price stays near the upper band, you're in a clean uptrend. When it's falling and price hugs the lower band, downtrend. When the center line is flat and price is bouncing between both bands, you're ranging.
The three brick sizing methods work the same way as standard renko implementations. Traditional sizing uses a fixed price range, so your bands are always the same absolute distance from the center line. ATR-based sizing calculates brick range from historical volatility, which makes the bands expand and contract based on the ATR measurement you chose at startup. Percentage-based sizing scales the brick size with price level, so the bands naturally widen as price increases and narrow as it decreases. This automatic scaling is particularly useful for instruments that move proportionally rather than in fixed increments.
The visual simplicity compared to full renko bricks makes this more practical for overlay use on your main chart. Instead of trying to read brick patterns in a separate pane or cluttering your price chart with boxes and lines, you get a single smoothed line with two bands that convey the same information about trend state and momentum. The center line shows you the filtered trend direction, the bands show you the threshold levels, and the relationship between price and the bands tells you whether the current move has legs or is stalling out.
From a trend-following perspective, the renko line naturally stays flat during consolidation and only moves when directional momentum is strong enough to complete bricks. This built-in filter removes a lot of the whipsaw that affects moving averages during choppy periods. Traditional moving averages continue updating with every bar regardless of whether meaningful directional movement is happening, which leads to false signals when price is just oscillating. The renko line only responds to sustained moves that meet the brick size threshold, so it tends to stay quiet when price is going nowhere and only signals when something is actually happening.
The bands also serve as natural stop-loss or profit-target references since they represent the distance price needs to move before the trend calculation changes. If you're long and the renko line is rising, you might place stops below the lower band on the theory that if price falls far enough to reverse the renko trend, your thesis is probably invalidated. Conversely, the upper band can mark levels where you'd expect the current brick to complete and potentially see some consolidation or pullback before the next brick forms.
What this really highlights is that renko's value isn't just in the brick visualization, it's in the underlying filtering mechanism. By extracting that mechanism and presenting it in a more traditional band format, you get access to renko's trend-following properties without needing to commit to the brick chart aesthetic or deal with the complications of overlaying brick drawings on a time-based chart. It's renko after all, so you get the trend filtering and directional clarity that makes renko useful, but packaged in a way that integrates more naturally with standard technical analysis workflows.
Session VWAP & ATR H/L ZonesThis script is a comprehensive tool for day traders, designed to visualize key price levels and zones based on volume and volatility within a specific trading session.
Traders would use your script to identify potential areas of support and resistance, gauge the session's trend, and spot opportunities for mean reversion or breakout trades.
Core Concepts Explained
Your script plots three main types of information on the chart, each serving a different purpose for a trader.
1. Session VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) 📈
What it is: The yellow line is the VWAP, which is the average price of an asset for the current trading session, weighted by the volume traded at each price level. It essentially shows the "fair" price for the day according to the market's activity.
How it's used:
Trend Gauge: If the price is consistently trading above the VWAP, it's generally considered a bullish intraday trend. If it's below, the trend is bearish.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: During a trend, traders often look for the price to pull back to the VWAP to find an entry point (e.g., buying a dip to the VWAP in an uptrend).
VWAP Bands: The optional gray, red, and green bands are standard deviations from the VWAP. They measure how far the price has strayed from its "fair value."
2. ATR High/Low Zones (Support & Resistance) 🎯
What they are: These are the shaded green and red areas at the top and bottom of the session's price range.
The red zone (resistance) is calculated by taking the session's current high and subtracting a value based on the Average True Range (ATR), which is a measure of recent volatility.
The green zone (support) is calculated by taking the session's current low and adding the ATR-based value.
How they're used: These are not just lines; they are zones of interest.
Profit-Taking Areas: A trader who is long might consider taking profits when the price enters the red resistance zone.
Reversal Signals: When the price enters one of these zones and shows signs of stalling (e.g., with specific candlestick patterns), it could signal a potential reversal.
3. Previous Session High & Low 📊
What they are: The script plots the high and low from the previous trading session as straight horizontal lines (teal and fuchsia by default).
How they're used: These are extremely significant static levels that many traders watch.
Price Magnets: Price is often drawn to these levels.
Key Inflection Points: A decisive break above the previous day's high can signal strong bullish momentum. Conversely, a failure to break it can indicate weakness. These levels frequently act as strong support or resistance.
Turtle Strategy - Triple EMA Trend with ADX and ATRDescription
The Triple EMA Trend strategy is a directional momentum system built on the alignment of three exponential moving averages and a strong ADX confirmation filter. It is designed to capture established trends while maintaining disciplined risk management through ATR-based stops and targets.
Core Logic
The system activates only under high-trend conditions, defined by the Average Directional Index (ADX) exceeding a configurable threshold (default: 43).
A bullish setup occurs when the short-term EMA is above the mid-term EMA, which in turn is above the long-term EMA, and price trades above the fastest EMA.
A bearish setup is the mirror condition.
Execution Rules
Entry:
• Long when ADX confirms trend strength and EMA alignment is bullish.
• Short when ADX confirms trend strength and EMA alignment is bearish.
Exit:
• Stop Loss: 1.8 × ATR below (for longs) or above (for shorts) the entry price.
• Take Profit: 3.3 × ATR in the direction of the trade.
Both parameters are configurable.
Additional Features
• Start/end date inputs for controlled backtesting.
• Selective activation of long or short trades.
• Built-in commission and position sizing (percent of equity).
• Full visual representation of EMAs, ADX, stop-loss, and target levels.
This strategy emphasizes clean trend participation, strict entry qualification, and consistent reward-to-risk structure. Ideal for swing or medium-term testing across trending assets.
Bollinger Band ToolkitBollinger Band Toolkit
An advanced, adaptive Bollinger Band system for traders who want more context, precision, and edge.
This indicator expands on the classic Bollinger Bands by combining statistical and volatility-based methods with modern divergence and squeeze detection tools. It helps identify volatility regimes, potential breakouts, and early momentum shifts — all within one clean overlay.
🔹 Core Features
1. Adaptive Bollinger Bands (σ + ATR)
Classic 20-period bands enhanced with an ATR-based volatility adjustment, making them more responsive to true market movement rather than just price variance.
Reduces “overreacting” during chop and avoids bands collapsing too tightly during trends.
2. %B & RSI Divergence Detection
🟢 Green dots: Positive %B divergence — price makes a lower low, but %B doesn’t confirm (bullish).
🔴 Red dots: Negative %B divergence — price makes a higher high, but %B doesn’t confirm (bearish).
✚ Red/green crosses: RSI divergence confirmation — momentum fails to confirm the price’s new extreme.
These signals highlight potential reversal or slowdown zones that are often invisible to the naked eye.
3. Bollinger Band Squeeze (with Volume Filter)
Yellow squares (■) show periods when Bollinger Bands are at their narrowest relative to recent history.
Volume confirmation ensures the squeeze only triggers when both volatility and participation contract.
Often marks the “calm before the storm” — breakout potential zones.
4. Multi-Timeframe Breakout Markers
Optionally displays breakouts from higher or lower timeframes using different colors/symbols.
Lets you see when a higher timeframe band break aligns with your current chart — a strong trend continuation signal.
5. Dual- and Triple-Band Visualization (±1σ, ±2σ, ±3σ)
Optional inner (±1σ) and outer (±3σ) bands provide a layered volatility map:
Price holding between ±1σ → stable range / mean-reverting behavior
Price riding near ±2σ → trending phase, sustained momentum
Price touching or exceeding ±3σ → volatility expansion or exhaustion zone
This triple-band layout visually distinguishes normal movement from statistical extremes, helping you read when the market is balanced, expanding, or approaching its limits.
⚙️ Inputs & Customization
Choose band type (SMA/EMA/SMMA/WMA/VWMA)
Adjust deviation multiplier (σ) and ATR multiplier
Toggle individual features (divergence dots, squeeze markers, inner bands, etc.)
Multi-timeframe and colour controls for advanced users
🧠 How to Use
Watch for squeeze markers followed by a breakout bar beyond ±2σ → volatility expansion signal.
Combine divergence dots with RSI or price structure to anticipate slowdowns or reversals.
Confirm direction using multi-timeframe breakouts and volume expansion.
💬 Why It Works
This toolkit transforms qualitative chart reading (tight bands, hidden divergence) into quantitative, testable conditions — giving you objective insights that can be backtested, coded, or simply trusted in live setups.
