Expansion Candles by Alex EntrepreneurHey people! Thanks for using Expansion Candles. I designed this tool to help me identify price runs (expansions) based on consecutive bullish or bearish candle closes and then trade continuations on the lower timeframes. Here's what makes it awesome:
How Does It Work?
An “expansion” is confirmed after multiple closes above the previous candle’s high (in the bull case) or below the previous candle’s low (in the bear case) while also having a higher candle low than the previous candle (in the bull case) or having lower candle high that the previous candle (in the bear case). After an expansion is confirmed, then the indicator will be displayed on the next candle.
You can set the number of required candle closes that confirm an “expansion” by increasing or decreasing the "Required Candles For Valid Expansion" setting.
An expansion will continue until an “invalidation” event occurs this will cause the indicator to stop displaying.
This “invalidation” can either be a lower candle low than the previous candle (in the bull case) and a higher candle high than the previous candle (in the bear case), or a close below the previous candle’s low (in the bull case) or a close above the previous candle’s high (in the bear case).
You can choose whether you want to use candle highs and lows as invalidation or candle closes as invalidation by changing the “Invalidation Type” setting to either “Wick” or “Candle Close”.
Key Features
Price Run Detection : Identify when price is expanding through consecutive bullish or bearish candle closes. You can chose whether a wick or opposite candle close finishes the run.
Timeframe Selection : Select your preferred timeframe for expansion candles and then view the indicator on lower timeframes for precise continuation entries.
Custom Display Options : Tailor the way expansions are shown on your chart. Choose your bullish and bearish colours and then display expansions as coloured candles, background colours, boxes, or arrows.
Sensitivity Adjustment : Adjust the indicator's sensitivity by changing the number of "Required Candles For Valid Expansion" to suit your analysis.
Set Alerts : Detect new bullish or bearish expansions in your favourite instruments with customisable alerts.
Best,

Johnny's Adjusted BB Buy/Sell Signal"Johnny's Adjusted BB Buy/Sell Signal" leverages Bollinger Bands and moving averages to provide dynamic buy and sell signals based on market conditions. This indicator is particularly useful for traders looking to identify strategic entry and exit points based on volatility and trend analysis.
How It Works
Bollinger Bands Setup: The indicator calculates Bollinger Bands using a specified length and multiplier. These bands serve to identify potential overbought (upper band) or oversold (lower band) conditions.
Moving Averages: Two moving averages are calculated — a trend moving average (trendMA) and a long-term moving average (longTermMA) — to gauge the market's direction over different time frames.
Market Phase Determination: The script classifies the market into bullish or bearish phases based on the relationship of the closing price to the long-term moving average.
Strong Buy and Sell Signals: Enhanced signals are generated based on how significantly the price deviates from the Bollinger Bands, coupled with the average candle size over a specified lookback period. The signals are adjusted based on whether the market is bullish or bearish:
In bullish markets, a strong buy signal is triggered if the price significantly drops below the lower Bollinger Band. Conversely, a strong sell signal is activated when the price rises well above the upper band.
In bearish markets, these signals are modified to be more conservative, adjusting the thresholds for triggering strong buy and sell signals.
Features:
Flexibility: Users can adjust the length of the Bollinger Bands and moving averages, as well as the multipliers and factors that determine the strength of buy and sell signals, making it highly customizable to different trading styles and market conditions.
Visual Aids: The script vividly plots the Bollinger Bands and moving averages, and signals are visually represented on the chart, allowing traders to quickly assess trading opportunities:
Regular buy and sell signals are indicated by simple shapes below or above price bars.
Strong buy and sell signals are highlighted with distinctive colors and placed prominently to catch the trader's attention.
Background Coloring: The background color changes based on the market phase, providing an immediate visual cue of the market's overall sentiment.
Usage:
This indicator is ideal for traders who rely on technical analysis to guide their trading decisions. By integrating both Bollinger Bands and moving averages, it provides a multi-faceted view of market trends and volatility, making it suitable for identifying potential reversals and continuation patterns. Traders can use this tool to enhance their understanding of market dynamics and refine their trading strategies accordingly.
FVG Positioning Average [LuxAlgo]The FVG Positioning Average indicator aims to uncover potential price levels of interest by averaging together recent Fair Value Gap (FVG) initiation levels.
This indicator is grounded in the theory that significant buying or selling activity is the primary catalyst for creating FVGs.
By averaging together the prices where each FVG initiated, we may potentially reveal where major participants are positioned.
🔶 USAGE
By analyzing the average price of bullish or bearish FVGs, users can identify potential support or resistance areas where the larger participants may re-enter or defend their positions.
These areas could be used to adjust entries and exits or assist with risk management such as take-profit or stop-loss levels.
The indicator displays 2 lines, the Bull Average and the Bear Average.
The Bull Average is only displayed when the price holds above the bull Average.
The Bear Average is only displayed when the price holds below the bear average.
When only one average is displayed alone, this level is seen as support or resistance, it is anticipated that this level would be defended for the current trend to stay valid.
When both averages are displayed simultaneously, it can be interpreted as one side attempting to take over the trend.
The movements and reactions during these attempts can be analyzed to provide helpful information about where the price might be headed.
Possible outcomes:
Trend Confirmation/Re-Entry (From Weak Attempts)
Trend Reversal (Creating Support or Resistance)
Consolidation (Oscillating between/around Bull & Bear Averages)
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Lookback Types
This indicator includes 2 lookback types:
Bar Count: Uses Bars to determine what data to include. This type can be utilized for averages that are more locally relevant to the current chart data.
FVG Count: Uses a specific # of FVGs for calculations. This type can be utilized for a continuous & consistent view, typically relevant with longer term analysis.
Note: When using bar lookback, if no data is in range, no lines will be displayed.
Below is an example of the 'FVG Count' Display.
🔹 Initiation Levels
Initiation Levels are the specific price points where each FVG starts, these are the last points the price was traded at before creating the gap.
Bull Initiation Level: Lowest Point (Bottom) of FVG
Bear Initiation Level: Highest Point (Top) of FVG
🔹 FVG Display
Each FVG being used for the current calculation of averages is displayed on the chart for reference.
Note: If you prefer to not display the FVGs, they can be toggled off in the settings, uncheck "Show FVGs on Chart".
🔶 Settings
FVG Lookback: As mentioned above in the 'Lookback Types', this sets the number of FVGs or Bars to use for consideration.
Lookback Type: As also mentioned above in 'Lookback Types', this determines the method of lookback to be used.
ATR Multiplier: The FVGs are required to have a Greater Width than (ATR * Multiplier) in order to be used for calculations. This allows you to focus on the data being considered if needed.
Bullish Cassiopeia A Harmonic Patterns [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically detects and draws bullish Cassiopeia A harmonic patterns and price projections derived from the ranges that constitute the patterns.
Cassiopeia A, B and C harmonic patterns are patterns that I created/discovered myself. They are all inspired by the Cassiopeia constellation and each one is based on different rotations of the constellation as it moves through the sky. The range ratios are also based on the constellation's right ascension and declination listed on Wikipedia:
Right ascension 22h 57m 04.5897s–03h 41m 14.0997s
Declination 77.6923447°–48.6632690°
en.wikipedia.org
I actually developed this idea quite a while ago now but have not felt audacious enough to introduce a new harmonic pattern, let alone 3 at the same time! But I have since been able to run backtests on tick data going back to 2002 across a variety of market and timeframe combinations and have learned that the Cassiopeia patterns can certainly hold their own against the currently known harmonic patterns. As can be seen in the picture above the bullish Cassiopeia A caught the 2009 bear market bottom almost perfectly.
I would also point out that the Cassiopeia constellation does actually look like a harmonic pattern and the Cassiopeia A star is literally the 'strongest source of radio emission in the sky beyond the solar system', so its arguably more of a real harmonic phenomenon than the current patterns.

█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a close price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a close price that is lower than the price it opened.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Peak and Trough Prices (Basic)
• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Range
The range is simply the difference between the current peak and current trough prices, generally expressed in terms of points or pips.
Upper Trends
• A return line uptrend is formed when the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price.
• A double-top is formed when the current peak price is equal to the preceding peak price.
Lower Trends
• An uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price.
• A return line downtrend is formed when the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
• A double-bottom is formed when the current trough price is equal to the preceding trough price.
Muti-Part Upper and Lower Trends
• A multi-part return line uptrend begins with the formation of a new return line uptrend and continues until a new downtrend ends the trend.
• A multi-part downtrend begins with the formation of a new downtrend and continues until a new return line uptrend ends the trend.
• A multi-part uptrend begins with the formation of a new uptrend and continues until a new return line downtrend ends the trend.
• A multi-part return line downtrend begins with the formation of a new return line downtrend and continues until a new uptrend ends the trend.
Double Trends
• A double uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price and the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A double downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price and the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
Muti-Part Double Trends
• A multi-part double uptrend begins with the formation of a new uptrend that proceeds a new return line uptrend, and continues until a new downtrend or return line downtrend ends the trend.
• A multi-part double downtrend begins with the formation of a new downtrend that proceeds a new return line downtrend, and continues until a new uptrend or return line uptrend ends the trend.
Wave Cycles
A wave cycle is here defined as a complete two-part move between a swing high and a swing low, or a swing low and a swing high. The first swing high or swing low will set the course for the sequence of wave cycles that follow; for example a chart that begins with a swing low will form its first complete wave cycle upon the formation of the first complete swing high and vice versa.
Figure 1.
Retracement and Extension Ratios
Retracement and extension ratios are calculated by dividing the current range by the preceding range and multiplying the answer by 100. Retracement ratios are those that are equal to or below 100% of the preceding range and extension ratios are those that are above 100% of the preceding range.
Fibonacci Retracement and Extension Ratios
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers, starting with 0 and 1. For example 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, and so on. Ultimately, we could go on forever but the first few numbers in the sequence are as follows: 0 , 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.
The extension ratios are calculated by dividing each number in the sequence by the number preceding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 2/1 = 2, 3/2 = 1.5, 5/3 = 1.6666..., 8/5 = 1.6, 13/8 = 1.625, 21/13 = 1.6153..., 34/21 = 1.6190..., 55/34 = 1.6176..., 89/55 = 1.6181..., 144/89 = 1.6179..., and so on. The retracement ratios are calculated by inverting this process and dividing each number in the sequence by the number proceeding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 1/2 = 0.5, 2/3 = 0.666..., 3/5 = 0.6, 5/8 = 0.625, 8/13 = 0.6153..., 13/21 = 0.6190..., 21/34 = 0.6176..., 34/55 = 0.6181..., 55/89 = 0.6179..., 89/144 = 0.6180..., and so on.
1.618 is considered to be the 'golden ratio', found in many natural phenomena such as the growth of seashells and the branching of trees. Some now speculate the universe oscillates at a frequency of 0,618 Hz, which could help to explain such phenomena, but this theory has yet to be proven.
Traders and analysts use Fibonacci retracement and extension indicators, consisting of horizontal lines representing different Fibonacci ratios, for identifying potential levels of support and resistance. Fibonacci ranges are typically drawn from left to right, with retracement levels representing ratios inside of the current range and extension levels representing ratios extended outside of the current range. If the current wave cycle ends on a swing low, the Fibonacci range is drawn from peak to trough. If the current wave cycle ends on a swing high the Fibonacci range is drawn from trough to peak.
Harmonic Patterns
The concept of harmonic patterns in trading was first introduced by H.M. Gartley in his book "Profits in the Stock Market", published in 1935. Gartley observed that markets have a tendency to move in repetitive patterns, and he identified several specific patterns that he believed could be used to predict future price movements.
Since then, many other traders and analysts have built upon Gartley's work and developed their own variations of harmonic patterns. One such contributor is Larry Pesavento, who developed his own methods for measuring harmonic patterns using Fibonacci ratios. Pesavento has written several books on the subject of harmonic patterns and Fibonacci ratios in trading. Another notable contributor to harmonic patterns is Scott Carney, who developed his own approach to harmonic trading in the late 1990s and also popularised the use of Fibonacci ratios to measure harmonic patterns. Carney expanded on Gartley's work and also introduced several new harmonic patterns, such as the Shark pattern and the 5-0 pattern.
The bullish and bearish Gartley patterns are the oldest recognized harmonic patterns in trading and all the other harmonic patterns are ultimately modifications of the original Gartley patterns. Gartley patterns are fundamentally composed of 5 points, or 4 waves.
Bullish and Bearish Cassiopeia A Harmonic Patterns
• Bullish Cassiopeia A patterns are fundamentally composed of three troughs and two peaks. The second peak being higher than the first peak. And the third trough being higher than both the first and second troughs, while the second trough is also higher than the first.
• Bearish Cassiopeia A patterns are fundamentally composed of three peaks and two troughs. The second trough being lower than the first trough. And the third peak being lower than both the first and second peaks, while the second peak is also lower than the first.
The ratio measurements I use to detect the patterns are as follows:
• Wave 1 of the pattern, generally referred to as XA, has no specific ratio requirements.
• Wave 2 of the pattern, generally referred to as AB, should retrace by at least 11.34%, but no further than 22.31% of the range set by wave 1.
• Wave 3 of the pattern, generally referred to as BC, should extend by at least 225.7%, but no further than 341% of the range set by wave 2.
• Wave 4 of the pattern, generally referred to as CD, should retrace by at least 77.69%, but no further than 88.66% of the range set by wave 3.
Measurement Tolerances
In general, tolerance in measurements refers to the allowable variation or deviation from a specific value or dimension. It is the range within which a particular measurement is considered to be acceptable or accurate. In this script I have applied this concept to the measurement of harmonic pattern ratios to increase to the frequency of pattern occurrences.
For example, the AB measurement of Gartley patterns is generally set at around 61.8%, but with such specificity in the measuring requirements the patterns are very rare. We can increase the frequency of pattern occurrences by setting a tolerance. A tolerance of 10% to both downside and upside, which is the default setting for all tolerances, means we would have a tolerable measurement range between 51.8-71.8%, thus increasing the frequency of occurrence.

█ LIMITATIONS
All green and red candle calculations are based on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. This may cause some unexpected behaviour on some markets and timeframes. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with.
█ NOTES
I know a few people have been requesting a single indicator that contains all my patterns and I definitely hear you on that one. However, I have been very busy working on other projects while trying to trade and be a human at the same time. For now I am going to maintain my original approach of releasing each pattern individually so as to maintain consistency. But I am now also working on getting my some of my libraries ready for public release and in doing so I will finally be able to fit all patterns into one script. I will also be giving my scripts some TLC by making them cleaner once I have the libraries up and running. Please bear with me in the meantime, this may take a while. Cheers!
Multi-Timeframe Momentum Indicator [Ox_kali]The Multi-Timeframe Momentum Indicator is a trend analysis tool designed to examine market momentum across various timeframes on a single chart. Utilizing the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to assess the market’s strength and direction, this indicator offers a multidimensional perspective on current trends, enriching technical analysis with a deeper understanding of price movements. Other oscillators, such as the MACD and StochRSI, will be integrated in future updates.
Regarding the operation with the RSI: when its value is below 50 for a given period, the trend is considered bearish. Conversely, a value above 50 indicates a bullish trend. The indicator goes beyond the isolated analysis of each period by calculating an average of the displayed trends, based on user preferences. This average, ranging from “Strong Down” to “Strong Up,” reflects the percentage of periods indicating a bullish or bearish trend, thus providing a precise overview of the overall market condition.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Analysis : Allows RSI analysis across multiple timeframes, offering an overview of market dynamics.
Advanced Customization : Includes options to adjust the RSI period, the RSI trend threshold, and more.
Color and Transparency Options : Offers color styles for bullish and bearish trends, as well as adjustable transparency levels for personalized visualization.
Average Trend Display : Calculates and displays the average trend based on activated timeframes, providing a quick summary of the current market state.
Flexible Table Positioning : Allows users to choose the indicator’s display location on the chart for seamless integration.
List of Parameters:
RSI Period : Defines the RSI period for calculation.
RSI Up/Down Threshold: Threshold for determining bullish or bearish trends of the RSI.
Table Position: Location of the indicator’s display on the chart.
Color Style : Selection of the color style for the indicator.
Strong Down/Up Color (User) : Customization of colors for strong market movements.
Table TF Transparency : Adjustment of the transparency level for the timeframe table.
Show X Minute/Hour/Day/Week Trend : Activation of the RSI display for specific timeframes.
Show AVG : Option to display or not the calculated average trend.
the Multi-Timeframe Momentum Indicator , stands as a comprehensive tool for market trend analysis across various timeframes, leveraging the RSI for in-depth market insights. With the promise of future updates including the integration of additional oscillators like the MACD and StochRSI, this indicator is set to offer even more robust analysis capabilities.
Please note that the MTF-Momentum is not a guarantee of future market performance and should be used in conjunction with proper risk management. Always ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the indicator’s methodology and its limitations before making any investment decisions. Additionally, past performance is not indicative of future results.
Delta ZigZag [LuxAlgo]The Delta ZigZag indicator is focused on volume analysis during the development of ZigZag lines. Volume data can be retrieved from a Lower timeframe (LTF) or real-time Tick data.
Our Delta ZigZag publication can be helpful in detecting indications of a trend reversal or potential weakening/strengthening of the trend.
This indicator by its very nature backpaints, meaning that the displayed components are offset in the past.
🔶 USAGE
The ZigZag line is formed by connecting Swings , which can be set by adjusting the Left and Right settings.
Left is the number of bars for evaluation at the left of the evaluated point.
Right is the number of bars for evaluation at the right of the evaluated point.
A valid Swing is a value higher or lower than the bars at the left/right .
A higher Left or Right set number will generally create broader ZigZag ( ZZ ) lines, while the drawing of the ZZ line will be delayed (especially when Right is set higher). On the other hand, when Right is set at 0, ZZ line are drawn quickly. However, this results in a hyperactive switching of the ZZ direction.
To ensure maximum visibility of values, we recommend using " Bars " from the " Bar's style " menu.
🔹 Volume examination
The script provides two options for Volume examination :
Examination per ZigZag line
Examination per bar
Bullish Volume is volume associated with a green bar ( close > open )
Bearish Volume is volume associated with a red bar ( close < open )
Neutral Volume (volume on a " close == open" bar) is not included in this publication.
🔹 Examination per ZigZag line
As long as the price moves in the same direction, the present ZZ line will continue. When the direction of the price changes, the bull/bear volume of the previous ZZ line is evaluated and drawn on the chart.
The ZZ line is divided into two parts: a bullish green line and a bearish red line.
The intercept of these two lines will depend on the ratio of bullish/bearish volume
This ratio is displayed at the intercept as % bullish volume (Settings -> Show % Bullish Volume)
* Note that we cannot draw between 2 bars. Therefore, if a ZZ line is only 1 bar long, the intercept will be at one of those 2 bars and not in between. The percentage can be helpful in interpreting bull/bear volume.
In the example above (2 most right labels), you can see that an overlap of 2 labels is prevented, ensuring the ability to evaluate the bullish % volume of the ZZ line .
The percentage will be colored green when more than 50%, red otherwise. The color will fade when the direction is contradictory; for example, 40% when the ZZ line goes up or 70% when the ZZ line falls.
More details can be visualized by enabling " Show " and choosing 1 of 3 options:
Average Volume Delta/bar
Average Volume/bar
Normalised Volume Delta
For both 'averages', the sum of " Volume "/" Volume Delta " of every bar on the ZZ line is divided by the number of bars (per ZZ line ).
The " Normalised Volume Delta " is calculated by dividing the sum of " Delta Volume " by the sum of " Volume " (neutral volume not included), which is displayed as a percentage.
All three options will display a label at the last point of the ZZ line and be coloured similarly: green when the ratio bullish/bearish volume of the ZZ line is bullish and red otherwise. Here, the colour also fades when it is bullish, but the ZZ line falls or when it is bearish with a rising ZZ line .
A tooltip at each label hints at the chosen option.
You can pick one of the options or combine them together.
🔹 Examination per bar
Besides information about what's happening during the ZZ line , information per bar can be visualized by enabling " Show Details " in Settings .
Split Volume per bar : show the sum of bullish (upV) and bearish (dnV) volume per bar
Volume (bar) : Total Volume per bar (bullish + bearish volume, neutral volume not included)
Δ Volume (bar) : Show Delta Volume (bullish - bearish volume)
🔹 Using Lower Timeframe Data
The ZigZag lines using LTF data are colored brighter. Also note the vertical line where the LTF data starts and the gap between ZZ lines with LTF data and without.
When " LTF " is chosen for the " Data from: " option in Settings , data is retrieved from Lower Timeframe bars (default 1 minute). When the LTF setting is higher than the current chart timeframe, the LTF period will automatically be adjusted to the current timeframe to prevent errors.
As there is a 100K limit to the number of LTF intrabars that can be analyzed by a script, this implies the higher the difference between LTF and current TF; the fewer ZZ lines will be seen.
🔹 Using real-time tick data
The principles are mostly the same as those of LTF data. However, in contrast with LTF data, where you already have LTF ZZ lines when loading the script, real-time tick data-based ZZ lines will only start after loading the chart.
Changing the settings of a ticker will reset everything. However, returning to the same settings/ticker would show the cached data again.
Here, you can see that changing settings reset everything, but returning after 2 minutes to the initial settings shows the cached data. Don't expect it to be cached for hours or days, though.
🔶 DETAILS
The timeframe used for LTF data should always be the same or lower than the current TF; otherwise, an error occurs. This snippet prevents the error and adjusts the LTF to the current TF when LTF is too high:
res = input.timeframe('1')
res := timeframe.from_seconds( math.min( timeframe.in_seconds(timeframe.period), timeframe.in_seconds(res) ) )
🔶 SETTINGS
Data from: LTF (Lower TimeFrame) or Ticks (Real-time ticks)
Res: Lower TimeFrame (only applicable when choosing LTF )
Option: choose " high/low " or " close " for Swing detection
🔹 ZigZag
Left: Lookback period for Swings
Right: Confirmation period after potential Swing
🔹 ZigZag Delta
Show % Bullish Volume : % bullish volume against total volume during the ZZ line
Show:
Average Volume Delta/bar
Average Volume/bar
Normalised Volume Delta
See USAGE for more information
🔹 Bar Data
Split Volume per bar: shows the sum of bullish ( upV ) and bearish ( dnV ) volume per bar
Volume (bar): Total Volume per bar (bullish + bearish volume, neutral volume not included)
Δ Volume (bar): Show Volume Delta (bullish - bearish volume)
MTF HalfTrendIntroduction
A half-trend indicator is a technical analysis tool that uses moving averages and price data to find potential trend reversal and entry points in the form of graphical arrows showing market turning points.
The salient features of this indicator are:
- It uses the phenomenon of moving averages.
- It is a momentum indicator.
- It can indicate a trend change.
- It is capable of detecting a bullish or bearish trend reversal.
- It can signal to sell/buy.
- It is a real-time indicator.
Multi-Timeframe Application
A standout feature is its flexibility across timeframes. Traders have the liberty to choose any timeframe on the chart, enhancing the tool's versatility and making it suitable for both short-term and long-term analyses.
Principle of the Half Trend indicator
This indicator is based on the moving averages. The moving average is the average of the fluctuation or change in the price of an asset. These averages are taken for a time interval.
So, a half-trend indicator takes the moving averages phenomenon as its principle for working. The most commonly used moving averages in a half trend indicator are:
- Relative strength index (RSI)
- EMA (estimated moving average)
Components of a Half Trend indicator
There are two main components of a half trend indicator:
- Half trend line
- Arrows
- ATR lines
Half trend line
Half trend line represents this indicator on a candlestick chart. This line shows the trend of a chart in real-time. A half-trend line is based on the moving averages.
There are two further components of a half-trend line:
- Redline
- Blue line
A red line represents a bearish trend. When the half-trend line turns red, a trend is facing a dip. It is time for the bears to take control of the market. A bearish control of the market represents the domination of sellers in the market.
On the other hand, the blue line represents the bullish nature of the market. It tells a trader that the bullish sentiment of the market is prevailing. A bullish market means the number of buyers is significantly greater than the number of sellers.
Moreover, a trader can change these colors to his choice by customization.
Arrows
There are two types of arrows in this indicator which help a trader with the entry and exit points. These arrows are,
- Blue arrow
- Red arrow
A blue arrow signals a buying trade; on the other hand, a red arrow tells a trader about the selling of the assets. These arrows work with the moving average line to formulate a trading strategy.
The color of these arrows is changed if a trader desires so.
ATR lines
The ATR blue and red lines represent the Average True Range of the Half trend line. They may be used as stop loss or take profit levels.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- It is a very easy to eyes indicator.
- This is a very useful friendly indicator.
- It provides sufficient information to beginner traders.
- It provides sufficient information for entry points in a trade.
- A half-trend indicator provides a good exit strategy for a trader.
- It provides information about market reversals.
- It helps a trader to find a bullish and bearish sentiment in the market.
Cons
- It is a real-time indicator. So, it can lag.
- The lagging of this indicator can lead to miss opportunities.
- The most advanced and professional traders may not rely on this indicator for crucial trading decisions.
- The lagging of this indicator can predict false reversals of the market.
- It can create false signals.
- It requires the confluence of the other technical tools for a better success ratio.
Settings for Half Trend indicator
The default settings for half trend indicator are:
Amplitude = 2
Channel deviation = 2
Different markets or financial instruments may require different settings for optimal execution.
Amplitude: The degree that the Half trend line takes the internal variables into consideration. The higher the number, the fewer trades. The default value is 2.
Channel deviation: The ATR value calculation from the Half trend line. The default value is 2.
Trading strategy
It is an effective indicator in terms of strategy formation for a trading setup. The new and beginner trades can take benefit from this indicator for the formulation of a good trading setup. This indicator also helps seasoned and professional traders formulate a good trading setup with other technical tools.
The trading strategy involving a half-trend indicator is divided into three parts:
- Entry and exit
- Risk management
- Take profit
Entry and exit
It is an effective indicator that provides sufficient information about the entry and exit points in a trading setup. The profit of a trader is directly proportional to the appropriate entry and exit points. So, it is a crucial step in any trading setup.
The blue and red arrows provide information about the entry and exit points in a trading setup. Furthermore, the entry and exit for the bullish and bearish setups are as follows.
Entry and exit for a bullish setup
If a blue arrow appears under the half-trend line, it means the bullish sentiment of the market is getting stronger in the future. So, it is a signal for entry in a bullish setup.
As the red arrow appears on the chart, it is a signal to exit your trade. The red arrow represents a reversal in the market, so it is a good opportunity to close your trade in a bullish setup.
Entry and exit for a bearish setup
Suppose a red arrow appears above the red moving average line. It is a good opportunity to enter a trade in a bearish setup. The red line represents that sooner the sellers are going to take control and the value of the asset is about to face a dip. So it is the best time to make your move.
As the opposite arrow appears in the chart, it is time to exit from a bearish trade setup.
Re-entering a position
Bullish setup
- The half-trend line is blue.
- At least one candle closes below the blue half-trend line.
- Enter on the candle that closes above the blue half-trend line.
Bearish setup
- The half-trend line is red.
- At least one candle closes above the red half-trend line.
- Enter on the candle that closes below the red half-trend line.
Risk management
Risk management is an integral part of a trading setup. It is an important step to protect your potential profits and losses.
When trading in a bullish market, place the stop loss at the prior swing low. It will help you to cut your losses in case the prices move to the lower end.
In the case of a bearish market, place your stop loss above the prior swing high.
A trader may trail the stop loss using the ATR lines.
The new trader often makes mistakes in the placement of the stop loss. If you don’t place the stop loss at an appropriate point. It can drain your bank account and ruin your trading experience. Is is recommended not to risk more than 2% of your trading account, per trade.
Take profit
The blue ATR line may be used as one take profit level on a bullish setup followed by the previous swing high. The signal reversal would indicate the final take profit and closing of any position.
The red ATR line may be used as one take profit level on a bearish setup followed by the previous swing low. The signal reversal would indicate the final take profit and closing of any position.
Conclusion
A half trend indicator is a decent indicator that can transform your trading experience. It is a dual indicator that is based on the moving averages as well as helps you to form a trading strategy. If you are a new trader, this indicator can help you to learn and flourish in the trading universe. If you are a seasoned trader, I recommend you use this indicator with other technical analysis tools to enhance your success ratio.

TSF 20What kind of traders/investors are we?
We are trend followers. We look for assets that are outperforming the market. Our scripts are designed to be used on the higher timeframes (weekly/daily) to catch the large moves/trends in the market.
Our scripts have been designed to help you follow the trend in an asset.
What does this script do?
This script is designed to colour candles on a chart based on their position relative to two sets of Bollinger Bands. Here's a breakdown of how it functions:
Bollinger Bands Setup:
The script uses two sets of Bollinger Bands, both with a length of 20 and based on the closing prices of candles.
The first set of Bollinger Bands uses a standard deviation (StdDev) of 1.
The second set uses a standard deviation of 2.
Neither set of bands is displayed on the chart.
Coloring Candles:
Green Candle: A candle is coloured green if its close is above the upper Bollinger Band with StdDev 1 but below the upper Bollinger Band with StdDev 2. This indicates a moderately bullish sentiment.
Dark Green Candle: A candle is colored dark green when its close is above the upper Bollinger Band with StdDev 2. This implies a stronger bullish sentiment.
Red Candle: A candle is coloured red if its close is below the lower Bollinger Band with StdDev 1 but above the lower Bollinger Band with StdDev 2. This indicates a moderately bearish sentiment.
Dark Red Candle: A candle is colored dark red if its close is below the lower Bollinger Band with StdDev 2, indicating a stronger bearish sentiment.
Grey Candle: A candle is coloured grey if it closes between the upper and lower Bollinger Bands with StdDev 1. This usually signifies a neutral market condition or periods of consolidation.
In summary, this script is an analytical tool that visually represents the market's bullishness or bearishness relative to the Bollinger Bands, without displaying the bands themselves. It's designed to help investors quickly assess market conditions and sentiment based on the colour-coded representation of price action in relation to these volatility bands.
What makes this script unique?
Innovative Color-Coding System: Candles are colored in varying shades of green and red, providing an immediate visual cue about the market's bullish or bearish tendencies. A neutral grey is also used, offering a quick assessment of market indecision or consolidation phases.
Dual Bollinger Band Analysis: Utilizes two sets of Bollinger Bands (StdDev 1 and StdDev 2) to gauge market volatility and sentiment. This dual-band approach enhances the precision of sentiment analysis compared to using a single standard deviation.
Customizable and Non-Obtrusive: Designed to keep your charts clean and readable. The Bollinger Bands themselves are not displayed, reducing visual clutter and allowing for a focus on price action.
Versatile and Adaptable: Suitable for various trading styles and timeframes. Whether you are a short-term or long-term investor, this indicator can be seamlessly integrated into your analysis toolkit.
Valuable Addition to Market Analysis: Enhances traditional candlestick analysis and complements other technical indicators and strategies. It offers an additional layer of understanding market dynamics and can be used to confirm or question other signals.
How It Adds Value:
Enhanced Visual Analysis: By colour-coding candles based on Bollinger Band positioning, it simplifies the interpretation of market sentiment and volatility, making it easier to spot trends and reversals.
Strategic Decision Making: Helps traders make more informed decisions by clearly highlighting bullish and bearish strength, or lack thereof, in the market.
Time Efficiency: Reduces the time spent analyzing charts by providing an immediate visual representation of market conditions.
Originality: Offers a fresh perspective and an innovative approach to using Bollinger Bands, making it a unique addition to the community's toolbox.
Fair Value Gap Screener | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Fair Value Gap Screener! This screener can provide information about the latest Fair Value Gaps in up to 5 tickers. You can also customize the algorithm that finds the Fair Value Gaps and the styling of the screener.
Features of the new Fair Value Gap (FVG) Screener :
Find Latest Fair Value Gaps Accross 5 Tickers
Shows Their Information Of :
Latest Status
Number Of Retests
Consumption Percent
Bullish & Bearish Volume
Customizable Algoritm / Styling
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A Fair Value Gap generally occur when there is an imbalance in the market. They can be detected by specific formations within the chart. This screener then finds Fair Value Gaps accross 5 different tickers, and shows the latest information about them.
Status ->
Far -> The current price is far away from the FVG.
Approaching ⬆️/⬇️ -> The current price is approaching the FVG, and the direction it's approaching from.
Inside -> The price is currently inside the FVG.
Retests -> Retest means the price tried to invalidate the FVG, but failed to do so. Here you can see how many times the price retested the FVG.
Consumed -> FVGs get consumed when a Close / Wick enters the FVG zone. For example, if the price hits the middle of the FVG zone, the zone is considered 50% consumed.
Bullish / Bearish Volume -> Bullish & Bearish volume of a FVG is calculated by analyzing the bars that formed it. For example in a bullish FVG, the bullish volume is the total volume of the first 2 bars forming the FVG, and the bearish volume is the volume of the 3rd bar that forms it.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This screener can detect latest Fair Value Gaps and give information about them for up to 5 tickers. This saves the user time by showing them all in a dashboard at the same time. The screener also uniquely shows information about the number of retests and the consumed percent of the FVG, as well as it's bullish & bearish volume. We believe that this extra information will help you spot reliable FVGs easier.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. Tickers
You can set up to 5 tickers for the screener to scan Fair Value Gaps here. You can also enable / disable them and set their individual timeframes.
2. General Configuration
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for FVG Zone Invalidation.
Zone Filtering -> With "Average Range" selected, algorithm will find FVG zones in comparison with average range of last bars in the chart. With the "Volume Threshold" option, you may select a Volume Threshold % to spot FVGs with a larger total volume than average.
FVG Detection -> With the "Same Type" option, all 3 bars that formed the FVG should be the same type. (Bullish / Bearish). If the "All" option is selected, bar types may vary between Bullish / Bearish.
Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal or High FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivies resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivies resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
Squeeze Momentum DeluxeThe Squeeze Momentum Deluxe is a comprehensive trading toolkit built with features of momentum, volatility, and price action. This script offers a suite for both mean reversion and trend-following analysis. Developed based on the original TTM Squeeze implementation by @LazyBear, this indicator introduces several innovative components to enhance your trading insights.
🔲 Components and Features
Momentum Oscillator - as rooted in the TTM Squeeze, quantifies the relationship between price and its extremes over a defined period. By normalizing the calculation, the values become comparable throughout time and across securities, allowing for a nuanced assessment of Bullish and Bearish momentum. Furthermore, by presenting it as a ribbon with a signal line we gain additional information about the direction of price swings.
Squeeze Bars - The original squeeze concept is based on the relationship between the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channel , once the BB resides inside the KC a squeeze occurs. By understanding their fundamentals a new form of calculation can be inferred.
method bb(float src, simple int len, simple float mult) => method kc(float src, simple int len, simple float mult) =>
float basis = ta.sma (src, len) float basis = ta.sma (src, len)
float dev = ta.stdev(src, len) float rng = ta.atr ( len)
float upper = basis + dev * mult float upper = basis + rng * mult
float lower = basis - dev * mult float lower = basis - rng * mult
Both BB and KC are constructed upon a moving average with the addition of Standard Deviation and Average True Range respectively. Therefore, the calculation can be transformed to when the Stdev is lower than the ATR a squeeze occurs.
method sqz(float src, simple int len) =>
float dev = ta.stdev(src, len)
float atr = ta.atr ( len)
dev < atr ? true : false
This indicator uses three different thresholds for the ATR to gain three levels of price "Squeeze" for further analysis.
Directional Flux- This component measures the overall direction of price volatility, offering insights into trend sentiment. Presented as waves in the background, it includes an OverFlux feature to signal extreme market bias in a particular direction which can signal either exhaustion or vital continuation. Additionally, the user can choose if to base the calculation on Heikin-Ashi Candles to bias the tool toward trend assessment.
Confluence Gauges - Placed at the top and bottom of the indicator, these gauges measure confluence in the relationship between the Momentum Oscillator and Directional Flux. They provide traders with an easily interpretable visual aid for detecting market sentiment. Reversal doritos displayed alongside them contribute to mean reversion analysis.
Divergences (Real-Time) - Equipped with a custom algorithm, the indicator detects real-time divergences between price and the oscillator. This dynamic feature enhances your ability to spot potential trend reversals as they occur.
🔲 Settings
Directional Flux Length - Adjusts the period of which the background volatility waves operate on.
Trend Bias - Bases the calculation of the Flux to HA candles to bias its behavior toward the trend of price action.
Squeeze Momentum Length - Calibrates the length of the main oscillator ribbon as well as the period for the squeeze algorithm.
Signal - Controls the width of the ribbon. Lower values result in faster responsiveness at the cost of premature positives.
Divergence Sensitivity - Adjusts a threshold to limit the amount of divergences detected based on strength. Higher values result in less detections, stronger structure.

The Squeeze Momentum Deluxe is a comprehensive tool that goes beyond traditional momentum indicators, offering a rich set of features to elevate your trading strategy. I recommend using toolkit alongside other indicators to have a wide variety of confluence to therefore gain higher probabilistic and better informed decisions.
Morning & Evening Star This Pine Script code is designed to identify Morning Star and Evening Star candlestick patterns on a chart. Here's how it works:
Calculate Candle Body and Wick Sizes: The script calculates the size of the candle body and wick based on the difference between the close and open prices, as well as the difference between the high and the maximum of the close and open prices.
Determine if the Candle is a Doji: It checks if the candle is a doji by comparing the size of the body to a fraction of the wick size. If the body size is less than or equal to 20% of the wick size, it is considered a doji.
Determine if the Current Candle is Bullish or Bearish: It checks if the current candle is bullish (close price is higher than open price) or bearish (close price is lower than open price).
Plot Shapes for Doji and Candles: It plots shapes on the chart to indicate buy and sell signals based on the presence of a doji and the formation of Morning Star or Evening Star patterns. These shapes are displayed below (for buy signals) or above (for sell signals) the respective candlesticks.
Combine this indicator with my support and resistance zones indicator for better results
Fibonacci Inversion Fair Value Gaps | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Fibonacci Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG) indicator! Inverse Fair Value Gaps occur when a Fair Value Gap becomes invalidated. They reverse the role of the original Fair Value Gap, making a bullish zone bearish and vice versa. This indicator plots the Fibonacci retracement levels of the IFVG, which often act like support & resistance levels.
Features of the new Fibonacci IFVGs Indicator :
Renders Bullish / Bearish IFVG Zones
Renders Fibonacci Retracement Levels Of IFVGs
Combination Of Overlapping FVG Zones
Variety Of Zone Detection / Sensitivity / Filtering / Invalidation Settings
High Customizability
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator stands out with its ability to render up to 3 Fibonacci retracement levels of IFVGs. Fibonacci retracement levels are widely used within trading, and we wanted to implement them for IFVG zones. You can also customize the FVG Filtering method, FVG & IFVG Zone Invalidation, Detection Sensitivity etc. according to your needs to get the best performance from the indicator.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A Fair Value Gap generally occur when there is an imbalance in the market. They can be detected by specific formations within the chart. An Inverse Fair Value Gap is when a FVG becomes invalidated, thus reversing the direction of the FVG.
This indicator renders 0.618, 0.5 and 0.382 (can be changed from the settings) Fibonacci retracement levels of the IFVGs, which often act as support and resistances. Check this example :
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
FVG Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for FVG Zone Invalidation.
IFVG Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for IFVG Zone Invalidation. This setting also switches the type for IFVG consumption.
Zone Filtering -> With "Average Range" selected, algorithm will find FVG zones in comparison with average range of last bars in the chart. With the "Volume Threshold" option, you may select a Volume Threshold % to spot FVGs with a larger total volume than average.
FVG Detection -> With the "Same Type" option, all 3 bars that formed the FVG should be the same type. (Bullish / Bearish). If the "All" option is selected, bar types may vary between Bullish / Bearish.
Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal or High FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivies resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivies resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
Show Historic Zones -> If this option is on, the indicator will render invalidated IFVG zones as well as current IFVG zones. For a cleaner look at current IFVG zones which are not invalidated yet, you can turn this option off.
2. Fibonacci Retracement Levels
You can enable / disable up to 3 different Fibonnaci Retracement levels at this group of settings. You can also switch their line styles between solid, dashed and dotted as well as changing their colors.
Relative Strength Scoring SystemRelative Strength Scoring System :
Important prerequisite :
This indicator can be loaded on any forex chart, i.e. a currency pair, but must not be loaded on any other asset due to certain market closures.
The chart timeframe must be less than or equal to the trading timeframe, which is the indicator's first parameter. A timeframe equal to that of the "Trading Timeframe" parameter is preferable.
Introduction :
This indicator measures the relative strength of a currency against all other currencies using spread formulas. It gives an indication of which currencies are bullish, neutral or bearish. The ultimate aim of this indicator is to find out which pair will generate a higher probability of gain than the others by pairing the most bullish pair with the most bearish pair.
Spread formulas :
To find the relative strength of a currency compared with others, we use the following spreads formulas :
USD = (FX:USDJPY/100+SAXO:USDEUR+FX:USDCHF+SAXO:USDGBP+FX:USDCAD+SAXO:USDAUD+FX_IDC:USDNZD)/7
JPY = (SAXO:JPYUSD/100+FX_IDC:JPYAUD/100+FX_IDC:JPYCAD/100+FX_IDC:JPYNZD/100+FX_IDC:JPYCHF/100+SAXO:JPYEUR/100+FX_IDC:JPYGBP/100)/7
CHF = (FX:CHFJPY/100+SAXO:CHFUSD+SAXO:CHFEUR+FX_IDC:CHFGBP+FX_IDC:CHFCAD+SAXO:CHFAUD+FX_IDC:CHFNZD)/7
EUR = (FX:EURJPY/100+FX:EURUSD+FX:EURCHF+FX:EURGBP+FX:EURCAD+FX:EURAUD+FX:EURNZD)/7
GBP = (FX:GBPJPY/100+FX:GBPUSD+FX:GBPCHF+SAXO:GBPEUR+FX:GBPCAD+FX:GBPAUD+FX:GBPNZD)/7
CAD = (FX:CADJPY/100+SAXO:CADUSD+FX:CADCHF+FX_IDC:CADGBP+SAXO:CADEUR+FX_IDC:CADAUD+FX_IDC:CADNZD)/7
AUD = (FX:AUDJPY/100+FX:AUDUSD+FX:AUDCHF+SAXO:AUDGBP+FX:AUDCAD+SAXO:AUDEUR+FX:AUDNZD)/7
NZD = (FX:NZDJPY/100+FX:NZDUSD+FX:NZDCHF+SAXO:NZDGBP+FX:NZDCAD+SAXO:NZDAUD+SAXO:NZDEUR)/7
CRYPTO = (BITSTAMP:BTCUSD+BITSTAMP:ETHUSD+BITSTAMP:LTCUSD+BITSTAMP:BCHUSD)/4
Timeframes :
As mentioned in the prerequisites, the chart timeframe must not be greater than the trading timeframe. The latter corresponds to the timeframe chosen by the trader to enter a position, and is the indicator's first parameter. Once this has been chosen, the algorithm selects the timeframes of the "Trend" and "Velocity" charts. Here's how it allocates them :
Trading TF => ("Velocity TF", "Trend TF")
"5min" => ("15min ", "60min")
"15min" => ("60min ", "4h")
"30min" => ("2h ", "8h")
"60min" => ("4h ", "12h")
"4h" => ("12h", "1D")
"6h" => ("1D", "3D")
"8h" => ("1D", "4D")
"12h" => ("2D", "1W")
"1D" => ("3D", "1W")
Trend Scoring System :
When the timeframe of the trend graph has been allocated, the algorithm will establish this graph's score using three criteria :
Trend chart pivot points: if the last two pivots, high and low, are increasing, the score is 1; if they are decreasing, the score is -1; else the score is 0.
SMA: if its slope is increasing with a candle strictly above the SMA value, the score is 1; if its slope is decreasing with a candle strictly below it, the score is -1; otherwise, it is 0.
MACD: if the MACD is positive, the score is 1, if it is negative, the score is -1; else it's 0.
We then sum the scores of these three criteria to find the trend score.
Velocity Scoring System :
In the same way, we analyze the score of the "velocity" graph with its corresponding timeframe using three criteria :
The EMA: if its slope is increasing with a candle strictly above the EMA value, the score is 1; if its slope is decreasing with a candle strictly below it, the score is -1; otherwise, it is 0.
The RSI: if the RSI's EMA has an increasing slope with an RSI strictly greater than the value of this EMA, the score is 1; and if the RSI's EMA has a decreasing slope with an RSI strictly less than this EMA, the score is -1; otherwise it is 0.
SAR parabolic: if the SAR is below the price, the score is 1; if it is above the price, the score is -1.
We then sum the scores of these three criteria to find the velocity score.
Relative Strength Scoring System :
Once the trend score and velocity score have been calculated, we determine the relative strength score of each currency using the following algorithm :
If trend score >=2 and velocity score >=2, the currency is bullish.
If trend score <=2 and velocity score <=2, currency is bearish
If (trendScore>=2 or velocityScore>=2) and (trendScore=1 or velocityScore=1) the currency is not yet bullish
If (trendScore<=2 or velocityScore<=2) and (trendScore=-1 or velocityScore=-1) the currency is not yet bearish.
Otherwise the currency is neutral
Parameters :
Trading Timeframe: the trading timeframe chosen by the trader for which he makes his position entry and exit decisions. Default is 1h
Pivot Legs: Parameter used for the chart "Trend" setting the pivot strength to the right and left of high/low. Default is 2
SMA Length: SMA length of the chart "Trend". Default is 20
MACD Fast Length: Length of the MACD fast SMA calculated on the chart "Trend". Default is 12
MACD Slow Length: Length of the MACD slow SMA calculated on the chart "Trend". Default is 26
MACD Signal Length: Length of the MACD signal SMA calculated on the chart "Trend". Default is 9
EMA Length: EMA length of the "Velocity" graph. Default is 13
RSI Length: RSI length of the "Velocity" graph. Default is 14
RSI EMA Length: Length of the RSI EMA. Default is 9
Parabolic SAR Start: Start of the SAR parabola in the "Velocity" graph. Default is 0.02
Parabolic SAR Increment: Increment of the SAR parabola in the "Velocity" graph. Default is 0.02
Parabolic SAR Max: Maximum of the SAR parabola in the "Velocity" graph. Default is 0.2
Conclusion :
This indicator has been designed to determine the relative strength of the major currencies against each other. The aim is to know which pair to trade at the right time in order to maximize the probability of a successful trade. For example, if the USD is bullish and the NZD bearish, we'll short the NZDUSD pair.
Enjoy this indicator and don't forget to take the trade ;)
Inversion Fair Value Gap Consumption | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Inversion Fair Value Gap Consumption (IFVG) indicator! Inversion Fair Value Gaps occur when a Fair Value Gap becomes invalidated. They reverse the role of the original Fair Value Gap, making a bullish zone bearish and vice versa. IFVGs get "consumed" when market orders fill the gap occurred. With this indicator, you can now see the percentage of the IFVG's consumed part. For more information about the process, read the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section of the description.

Candlesticks Patterns [TradingFinder] Pin Bar Hammer Shooting🔵 Introduction
Truly, the title "TradingView" doesn't do justice to this excellent website, and that's why I've written about its crucial aspect. In this indicator, the identification of all candlesticks known as "Pin bars" is explored.
These candlesticks include the following:
- Hammer : A Pin bar formed at the end of a bearish trend, with its body being either bearish or bullish.
- Shooting Star : Formed at the end of a bullish trend, with its body being either bearish or bullish.
- Hanging Man : Formed during an upward trend, characterized by a candle with a lower shadow.
- Inverted Hammer : Formed during a downward trend, characterized by a candle with an upper shadow.
🟣 Important : For ease of use, we refer to these four candlestick patterns as Pin Bars and categorize them into the main friends "Bullish" and "Bearish."
🟣 Important : In all sources, Hanging Man and Inverted Hammer are referred to as "Reversal candles." However, in reality, whenever they appear after breaking a significant area (Break Out), we expect these candles to signal a continuation of the trend and confirmation in the direction of the trend.
🟣 Important : One of the best signs of market manipulation and entry by market giants is the "Ice Berg." So, it provides one of the best trading opportunities.
🔵 Reason for Creation
Many traders, especially volume traders, use Pin bars as confirmation and enter the market after their occurrence. In this indicator, all four patterns are identified and displayed in a colored candle format, using "triangle" and "circle."
When they are evident on the chart, directly or by drawing a horizontal line, they give us good alerts for reversal or continuation areas.
🔵 Information Table
1. Red circle: Pin bars formed in a downtrend.
2. Blue circle: Bullish Pin bars formed in an uptrend.
3. Black triangle: Bearish Pin bar candle in an uptrend.
4. Blue triangle: Bullish Pin bar candle in a downtrend.
🔵 Settings
Trend Detection Period: A special feature that considers smaller or larger fluctuations. If individual price waves need to be considered, use lower numbers; if the overall trend direction is desired, use larger numbers (e.g., 5-7 or higher). This precisely sets the Zigzag or Pivot format, not displayed but considered in the indicator calculation.
Trend Effect : By changing the Trend Effect status to "Off," all Pin bars, whether bullish or bearish, are displayed regardless of the current market trend. If the status remains "On," only Pin bars in the direction of the main market trend are shown.
🟣 Important : Black triangles "Number 3" and blue triangles "Number 4" displayed in the information table section, as explained in the "Information Table" section.
Show Bullish Pin Bar : When set to "Yes," displays bullish Pin bars; when set to "No," does not display them.
Show Bearish Pin Bar : When set to "Yes," allows the display of bearish Pin bars; when set to "No," does not display them.
Bullish Pin Bar Setting : Using the "Ratio Lower Shadow to Body" and "Ratio Lower Shadow to Higher Shadow" settings, you can customize your bullish Pin bar candles. Larger numbers impose stricter conditions for identifying bullish Pin bars.
Bearish Pin Bar Setting : Using the "Ratio Higher Shadow to Body" and "Ratio Higher Shadow to Lower Shadow" settings, you can customize your bearish Pin bar candles. Larger numbers impose stricter conditions for identifying bearish Pin bars.
Show Info Table : Allows the display or non-display of the information table (located at the bottom of the page and on the right side).
🔵 How to Use
At the end of a downtrend, look for "Hammer" candles, easily identified one by one.
To identify the "Shooting Star" candle pattern at the end of an uptrend; expect a price reversal in the downtrend.
For trades in the downward direction, wait for the formation of an "Inverted Hammer" Pin bar.
And finally, in an uptrend, where a "Hanging Man" candle can form.
🔵 Features
For better visualization, triangles and circles are used above the candles, but they can be easily removed. All Pin bars are displayed in color with the following meanings:
- Black-bodied candle: Inverted Hammer
- Turquoise blue candle: Hammer
- Pink candle: Hanging Man
- Red candle: Shooting Star
🟣 Important : The capability to detect the powerful two-candle pattern "Tweezer Top" at the end of an uptrend emerges by forming two "Shooting Star" candles side by side.
Similarly, the two-candle pattern "Tweezer Bottom" is created at the end of a downtrend with the formation of two "Hammer" candles side by side. To identify the "Tweezer" pattern, make sure the settings in the "Trend Effect" section are set to "Off."
🟣 Auxiliary Indicators
During the start of trading sessions such as Asia, London, and New York, where the highest liquidity exists, alongside this indicator, you can use the Trading Sessions indicator.
Sessions
The combination of Order Blocks "-OB" and "+OB" with candles is one of the best trading methods. The indicator that identifies order blocks, along with this indicator, can yield remarkable results in the success of Pin bar candles.

█ Strategy: How it Works - Detailed Explanation
🔶 AI-Enhanced SuperTrend Indicators
1. SuperTrend Calculation:
- The SuperTrend indicator is calculated using a moving average and the Average True Range (ATR). The basic formula is:
- Upper Band = Moving Average + (Multiplier × ATR)
- Lower Band = Moving Average - (Multiplier × ATR)
- The moving average type (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, VWMA) and the length of the moving average and ATR are adjustable parameters.
- The direction of the trend is determined based on the position of the closing price in relation to these bands.
2. AI Integration with K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN):
- The KNN algorithm is applied to predict trend direction. It uses historical price data and SuperTrend values to classify the current trend as bullish or bearish.
- The algorithm calculates the 'distance' between the current data point and historical points. The 'k' nearest data points (neighbors) are identified based on this distance.
- A weighted average of these neighbors' trends (bullish or bearish) is calculated to predict the current trend.

🔶 Pivot Percentile Analysis
1. Percentile Calculation:
- This involves calculating the percentile ranks for high and low prices over a set of predefined lengths.
- The percentile function is typically defined as:
- Percentile = Value at (P/100) × (N + 1)th position
- Where P is the desired percentile, and N is the number of data points.
2. Trend Strength Evaluation:
- The calculated percentiles for highs and lows are used to determine the strength of bullish and bearish trends.
- For instance, a high percentile rank in the high prices may indicate a strong bullish trend, and vice versa for bearish trends.

🔶 Strategy Integration
1. Combining SuperTrend and Pivot Percentile:
- The strategy synthesizes the insights from both AI-enhanced SuperTrend and Pivot Percentile analysis.
- It compares the trend direction indicated by the SuperTrend with the strength of the trend as suggested by the Pivot Percentile analysis.
2. Signal Generation:
- A trading signal is generated when both the AI-enhanced SuperTrend and the Pivot Percentile analysis agree on the trend direction.
- For instance, a bullish signal is generated when both the SuperTrend is bullish, and the Pivot Percentile analysis shows strength in bullish trends.
🔶 Risk Management and Filters
- ADX and DMI Filter: The strategy uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) and the Directional Movement Index (DMI) as filters to assess the trend's strength and direction.
- Dynamic Trailing Stop Loss: Based on the SuperTrend indicator, the strategy dynamically adjusts stop-loss levels to manage risk effectively.
This strategy stands out for its ability to combine real-time AI analysis with established technical indicators, offering traders a nuanced and responsive tool for navigating complex market conditions.

Inversion Fair Value Gaps | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG) indicator! Inversion Fair Value Gaps occur when a Fair Value Gap becomes invalidated. They reverse the role of the original Fair Value Gap, making a bullish zone bearish and vice versa. With this indicator, you can now see the volume of the bar that invalidated the FVG, which is also the bar that IFVG occurred. For more information about the process, read the " HOW DOES IT WORK " section of the description.
Features of the IFVG Indicator :
Render Bullish / Bearish IFVG Zones
See The Occurrence Volume Of The IFVG Zones
Combination Of Overlapping FVG Zones
Variety Of Zone Detection / Sensitivity / Filtering / Invalidation Settings
High Customizability
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator stands out with its ability to render the occurrence volume of IFVGs. Also the ability to combine overlapping FVG zones will result in cleaner charts for traders. You can customize the FVG Filtering method, FVG & IFVG Zone Invalidation, Detection Sensitivity etc. according to your strategy to get the best performance from the indicator.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A Fair Value Gap generally occur when there is an imbalance in the market. They can be detected by specific formations within the chart. An Inversion Fair Value Gap is when a FVG becomes invalidated, thus reversing the direction of the FVG.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
FVG Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for FVG Zone Invalidation.
IFVG Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for IFVG Zone Invalidation.
Zone Filtering -> With "Average Range" selected, algorithm will find FVG zones in comparison with average range of last bars in the chart. With the "Volume Threshold" option, you may select a Volume Threshold % to spot FVGs with a larger total volume than average.
FVG Detection -> With the "Same Type" option, all 3 bars that formed the FVG should be the same type. (Bullish / Bearish). If the "All" option is selected, bar types may vary between Bullish / Bearish.
Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal or High FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivies resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivies resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
Show Historic Zones -> If this option is on, the indicator will render invalidated IFVG zones as well as current IFVG zones. For a cleaner look at current IFVG zones which are not invalidated yet, you can turn this option off.
Kendall's Tau Correlation Regimes [NariCapitalTrading]The "Kendall's Tau Correlation Regimes" indicator is designed to analyze price data and determine market regimes based on Kendall's Tau correlation coefficient. It provides insight into the strength and direction of the correlation between two data series: close price and a selected moving average.
User Inputs:
Period: Defines the lookback period for calculating Kendall's Tau correlation. It can be adjusted using the input slider, with a minimum value of 1.
Threshold: Sets the threshold for identifying bullish and bearish market regimes. The user can adjust this value within the range of 0.1 to 1.0 with step increments of 0.1.
MA Type: Allows users to select the type of moving average to be used in the correlation calculation. Options include Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and Hull Moving Average (HMA).
Kendall's Tau Correlation Calculation:
Calculates Kendall's Tau correlation coefficient between the closing price and the selected moving average.
Kendall's Tau measures the strength and direction of the ordinal association between two data series. It assesses whether the data pairs are in the same order or not.
The calculation involves counting concordant and discordant pairs of data points and then computing the coefficient.
Market Regime Identification:
Based on the threshold defined by the user, the indicator identifies two market regimes: bullish and bearish.
A regime is considered bullish when the Kendall's Tau correlation coefficient is greater than the threshold.
A regime is considered bearish when the Kendall's Tau correlation coefficient is less than the negative of the threshold.
Plotting:
The indicator plots the calculated Kendall's Tau correlation coefficient as a blue line on a separate indicator pane.
It also highlights bullish regimes with a green background and bearish regimes with a red background.
Conclusion:
The "Kendall's Tau Correlation Regimes" indicator provides traders with a visual aid for assessing market regimes based on the strength of correlation between price and a selected moving average.

RSI Market Regime FinderThe Relative Strength Index Market Regime
Imagine the RSI as a tool that helps you figure out if a stock or any other asset is overbought or oversold. It’s like trying to see if a party is too crowded or too empty.
The RSI measures the speed and change of price movements. When it’s high, like above 70, it suggests that the asset might be overbought. Think of it like everyone rushing in to buy the latest cool thing, and maybe it’s getting a bit too popular. On the flip side, if the RSI is low, below 30, it implies that the asset might be oversold. This is like when nobody wants to go to a party, and it might be a good time to check it out because things could pick up.
Now, why does this matter? Well, it gives you a hint about potential reversals in the market. If something is overbought, it might be time for a cool-down, and if it’s oversold, there might be a chance for a comeback. Traders often use RSI to get a sense of whether an asset is in a strong trend or if it’s about to change direction. So, in a nutshell, RSI is like a party meter for the market. It helps you gauge if things are getting too wild or if it’s a bit quiet, giving you a heads-up on potential changes in the market vibe.
Creating the Regime Detection Indicator
A market regime is essentially the prevailing state or condition of the financial markets at a given time. It’s like saying the market can have different modes or phases, just like a person can be happy, sad, or somewhere in between.
Now, these market regimes can be broadly categorized based on trends. Imagine a market in a strong upward trend — everyone’s feeling optimistic, prices are going up, and it’s like a bull (that’s the term for a rising market) is running around.
On the flip side, if the market is in a downtrend, it’s like a bear (that’s the term for a falling market) is dominating. People might be a bit more cautious, prices are dropping, and it’s generally a less optimistic atmosphere.
The tricky part is that markets aren’t always in a clear-cut bull or bear state. Sometimes they’re just moving sideways, not going up or down much. That’s another market regime, often called a “sideways” or “range-bound” market.
The conditions of the creation of the indicator follow these assumptions:
A bullish regime is taking place whenever the RSI is above 50 but below 75 while the last three RSI values were above 46.
A bearish regime is taking place whenever the RSI is below 50 but above 25 while the last three RSI values were below 54.
The script is super simple to use. Basically, whenever the green line is in progress, a bullish regime is taking place, and whenever the red line is in progress, a bearish regime is taking place.
Long strategies fit well within a bullish regime while short strategies fit well within a bearish regime.
All the credit for this script goes to Sofien Kaabar. He graciously provided the code and I'm passing along his work.

Machine Learning: STDEV Oscillator [YinYangAlgorithms]This Indicator aims to fill a gap within traditional Standard Deviation Analysis. Rather than its usual applications, this Indicator focuses on applying Standard Deviation within an Oscillator and likewise applying a Machine Learning approach to it. By doing so, we may hope to achieve an Adaptive Oscillator which can help display when the price is deviating from its standard movement. This Indicator may help display both when the price is Overbought or Underbought, and likewise, where the price may face Support and Resistance. The reason for this is that rather than simply plotting a Machine Learning Standard Deviation (STDEV), we instead create a High and a Low variant of STDEV, and then use its Highest and Lowest values calculated within another Deviation to create Deviation Zones. These zones may help to display these Support and Resistance locations; and likewise may help to show if the price is Overbought or Oversold based on its placement within these zones. This Oscillator may also help display Momentum when the High and/or Low STDEV crosses the midline (0). Lastly, this Oscillator may also be useful for seeing the spacing between the High and Low of the STDEV; large spacing may represent volatility within the STDEV which may be helpful for seeing when there is Momentum in the form of volatility.
Tutorial:
Above is an example of how this Indicator looks on BTC/USDT 1 Day. As you may see, when the price has parabolic movement, so does the STDEV. This is due to this price movement deviating from the mean of the data. Therefore when these parabolic movements occur, we create the Deviation Zones accordingly, in hopes that it may help to project future Support and Resistance locations as well as helping to display when the price is Overbought and Oversold.
If we zoom in a little bit, you may notice that the Support Zone (Blue) is smaller than the Resistance Zone (Orange). This is simply because during the last Bull Market there was more parabolic price deviation than there was during the Bear Market. You may see this if you refer to their values; the Resistance Zone goes to ~18k whereas the Support Zone is ~10.5k. This is completely normal and the way it is supposed to work. Due to the nature of how STDEV works, this Oscillator doesn’t use a 1:1 ratio and instead can develop and expand as exponential price action occurs.
The Neutral (0) line may also act as a Support and Resistance location. In the example above we can see how when the STDEV is below it, it acts as Resistance; and when it’s above it, it acts as Support.
This Neutral line may also provide us with insight as towards the momentum within the market and when it has shifted. When the STDEV is below the Neutral line, the market may be considered Bearish. When the STDEV is above the Neutral line, the market may be considered Bullish.
The Red Line represents the STDEV’s High and the Green Line represents the STDEV’s Low. When the STDEV’s High and Low get tight and close together, this may represent there is currently Low Volatility in the market. Low Volatility may cause consolidation to occur, however it also leaves room for expansion.
However, when the STDEV’s High and Low are quite spaced apart, this may represent High levels of Volatility in the market. This may mean the market is more prone to parabolic movements and expansion.
We will conclude our Tutorial here. Hopefully this has given you some insight into how applying Machine Learning to a High and Low STDEV then creating Deviation Zones based on it may help project when the Momentum of the Market is Bullish or Bearish; likewise when the price is Overbought or Oversold; and lastly where the price may face Support and Resistance in the form of STDEV.
