Arshtiq - Multi-Timeframe Trend StrategyMulti-Timeframe Setup:
The script uses two distinct timeframes: a higher (daily) timeframe for identifying the trend and a lower (hourly) timeframe for making trades. This combination allows the script to follow the larger trend while timing entries and exits with more precision on a shorter timeframe.
Moving Averages Calculation:
higher_ma: The 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) calculated based on the daily timeframe. This average gives a sense of the larger trend direction.
lower_ma: The 20-period SMA calculated on the hourly (current) timeframe, providing a dynamic level for detecting entry and exit points within the broader trend.
Trend Identification:
Bullish Trend: The script determines that a bullish trend is present if the current price is above the daily moving average (higher_ma).
Bearish Trend: Similarly, a bearish trend is identified when the current price is below this daily moving average.
Trade Signals:
Buy Signal: A buy signal is generated when the price on the hourly chart crosses above the hourly 20-period MA, but only if the higher (daily) timeframe trend is bullish. This ensures that buy trades align with the larger upward trend.
Sell Signal: A sell signal is generated when the price on the hourly chart crosses below the hourly 20-period MA, but only if the daily trend is bearish. This ensures that sell trades are consistent with the broader downtrend.
Plotting and Visual Cues:
Higher Timeframe MA: The daily 20-period moving average is plotted in red to help visualize the long-term trend.
Buy and Sell Signals: Buy signals appear as green labels below the price bars with the text "BUY," while sell signals appear as red labels above the bars with the text "SELL."
Background Coloring: The background changes color based on the identified trend for easier trend recognition:
Green (with transparency) when the daily trend is bullish.
Red (with transparency) when the daily trend is bearish.

Average Up and Down Candles Streak with Predicted Next CandleThis indicator is designed to analyze price trends by examining the patterns of up and down streaks (consecutive bullish or bearish candles) over a defined period. It uses this data to provide insights on whether the next candle is likely to be bullish or bearish, and it visually displays relevant information on the chart.
Here’s a breakdown of what the indicator does:
1. Inputs and Parameters
Period (Candles): Defines the number of candles used to calculate the average length of bullish and bearish streaks. For example, if the period is set to 20, the indicator will analyze the past 20 candles to determine average up and down streak lengths.
Bullish/Bearish Bias Signal Toggle: These options allow users to show or hide visual signals (green or red circles) when there’s a bullish or bearish bias in the trend based on the indicator’s calculations.
2. Streak Calculation
The indicator looks at each candle within the period to identify if it closed up (bullish) or down (bearish).
Up Streak: The indicator counts consecutive bullish candles. When there’s a bearish candle, it resets the up streak count.
Down Streak: Similarly, it counts consecutive bearish candles and resets when a bullish candle appears.
Averages: Over the defined period, the indicator calculates the average length of up streaks and average length of down streaks. This provides a baseline to assess whether the current streak is typical or extended.
3. Current and Average Streak Display
The indicator displays the current up and down streak lengths alongside the average streak lengths for comparison. This data appears in a table on the chart, allowing you to see at a glance:
The current streak length (for both up and down trends)
The average streak length for up and down trends over the chosen period
4. Trend Prediction for the Next Candle
Next Candle Prediction: Based on the current streak and its comparison to the average, the indicator predicts the likely direction of the next candle:
Bullish: If the current up streak is shorter than the average up streak, suggesting that the bullish trend could continue.
Bearish: If the current down streak is shorter than the average down streak, indicating that the bearish trend may continue.
Neutral: If the current streak length is near the average, which could signal an upcoming reversal.
This prediction appears in a table on the chart, labeled as “Next Candle.”
5. Previous Candle Analysis
The Previous Candle entry in the table reflects the last completed candle (directly before the current candle) to show whether it was bullish, bearish, or neutral.
This data gives a reference point for recent price action and helps validate the next candle prediction.
6. Visual Signals and Reversal Zones
Bullish/Bearish Bias Signals: The indicator can plot green circles on bullish bias and red circles on bearish bias to highlight points where the trend is likely to continue.
Reversal Zones: If the current streak length reaches or exceeds the average, it suggests the trend may be overextended, indicating a potential reversal zone. The indicator highlights these zones with shaded backgrounds (green for possible bullish reversal, red for bearish) on the chart.
Summary of What You See on the Chart
Bullish and Bearish Bias Signals: Green or red circles mark areas of expected continuation in the trend.
Reversal Zones: Shaded areas in red or green suggest that the trend might be about to reverse.
Tables:
The Next Candle prediction table displays the trend direction of the previous candle and the likely trend of the next candle.
The Streak Information table shows the current up and down streak lengths, along with their averages for easy comparison.
Practical Use
This indicator is helpful for traders aiming to understand trend momentum and potential reversals based on historical patterns. It’s particularly useful for swing trading, where knowing the typical length of bullish or bearish trends can help in timing entries and exits.
Cumulative Buying and Selling Volume with 3 Lookback PeriodsScript Overview:
This script is designed to help traders identify market momentum by analyzing buying and selling volume. It calculates the cumulative buying and selling pressure over three different lookback periods, providing insights into whether the bulls or bears are dominating at any given time. The script does this by computing the cumulative buying and selling volume for each period and comparing them through exponential moving averages (EMA) to smooth out short-term fluctuations.
Purpose and Use:
The primary goal of this script is to highlight shifts in market sentiment based on volume dynamics. Volume is a critical component in market analysis, often signaling the strength behind price movements. By focusing on cumulative buying and selling pressure, the script gives traders an idea of whether the market is trending towards more buying or selling during specific periods. Traders can use this tool to:
Identify potential entry points when buying pressure is strong.
Recognize potential selling opportunities when selling pressure is increasing.
Detect periods of indecision when neither buying nor selling dominates.
Key Concepts:
1. Buying Volume (BV):
The buying volume is calculated based on the price range of each candle. It represents the volume allocated to the bullish side of the market:
When the close is near the high, the buying volume is higher.
Formula: BV = volume * (close - low) / (high - low).
2. Selling Volume (SV):
Similarly, selling volume is derived based on the position of the close relative to the low:
When the close is near the low, selling volume is higher.
Formula: SV = volume * (high - close) / (high - low)
3. Lookback Periods:
The script allows users to define three different lookback periods (5, 10, and 20 by default). These periods smooth out the cumulative buying and selling volumes using EMA calculations:
Shorter periods capture more immediate changes in volume dynamics.
Longer periods provide a broader perspective on market trends.
4. Cumulative Volume Calculation:
For each lookback period, cumulative buying and selling volumes are tracked separately and then smoothed with EMA:
emaBuyVol and emaSellVol are the smoothed values for buying and selling volumes over the lookback periods.
5. Market Pressure Comparison:
Buying Pressure: If the EMA of buying volume is greater than the EMA of selling volume for a particular lookback period, the script considers that buying pressure dominates for that period.
Selling Pressure: Conversely, if selling volume dominates over buying volume for a period, the script registers selling pressure.
6. Overall Market Pressure:
The script aggregates the buying and selling pressures from the three lookback periods to determine the overall market sentiment:
If the majority of periods show buying pressure, the market is bullish.
If the majority show selling pressure, the market is bearish.
If neither side dominates, it suggests a neutral or indecisive market.
Visual Cues:
The script provides visual feedback to help traders quickly interpret the market pressure:
Background Color:
Green (#2bff00) when buying pressure dominates.
Red (#ff0000) when selling pressure dominates.
Gray (#404040) when there is no clear dominance.
Bar Color: The script also colors the price bars based on the dominant market pressure:
Green for buying pressure.
Red for selling pressure.
Gray for neutral or balanced market pressure.
Reset Mechanism:
At the start of each new candle, the cumulative volumes for all three periods are reset to zero. This ensures that the cumulative volumes are only measured for the current candle, preventing carryover from previous periods that could distort the analysis.
How Traders Can Use This Script:
Trend Confirmation: Traders can use the script as a trend confirmation tool. When the background turns green (buying dominance), it suggests bullish momentum. When red, bearish momentum is likely. This information can be used to confirm existing positions or signal new trades in the direction of the market pressure.
Reversal Detection: A sudden shift in the background color (from green to red or vice versa) can indicate a potential reversal. This can be particularly useful when combined with other technical indicators such as price action or support/resistance levels.
Multiple Timeframes: Since the script supports three different lookback periods, it provides a comprehensive view of market pressure across short-term, medium-term, and long-term perspectives. Traders can tailor the lookback periods based on their preferred timeframe to match their trading style, whether it’s intraday trading or longer-term swing trading.
Risk Management: The script's clear visual cues help traders manage risk by highlighting when selling pressure increases, allowing them to consider reducing long positions or tightening stop-losses.

ADX Trend Strength Analyzer█ OVERVIEW
This script implements the Average Directional Index (ADX), a powerful tool used to measure the strength of market trends. It works alongside the Directional Movement Index (DMI), which breaks down the directional market pressure into bullish (+DI) and bearish (-DI) components. The purpose of the ADX is to indicate when the market is in a strong trend, without specifying the direction. This indicator can be especially useful for identifying market trends early and validating trading strategies based on trend-following systems.
The ADX component in this script is based on two key parameters:
ADX Smoothing Length (adxlen), which determines the degree of smoothing for the trend strength.
DI Length (dilen), which defines the look-back period for calculating the directional index values.
Additionally, a horizontal line is plotted at the 30 level, providing a widely used threshold that signifies when a trend is considered strong (above 30).
█ CONCEPTS
Directional Movement (DM): The core idea behind this indicator is the calculation of price movement in terms of bullish and bearish forces. By evaluating the change in highs and lows, the script distinguishes between bullish movement (+DM) and bearish movement (-DM). These values are normalized by dividing them by the True Range (TR), creating the +DI and -DI values.
True Range (TR): The True Range is calculated using the Average True Range (ATR) formula, and it serves to smooth out volatility, ensuring that short-term fluctuations don't distort the long-term trend signal.
ADX Calculation: The ADX is derived from the absolute difference between the +DI and -DI. By smoothing this difference and normalizing it, the ADX is able to measure the overall strength of the trend without regard to whether the market is moving up or down. A rising ADX indicates increasing trend strength, while a falling ADX signals weakening trends.
█ METHODOLOGY
Directional Movement Calculation: The script first determines the upward and downward price movement by comparing changes in the high and low prices. If the upward movement is greater than the downward movement, it registers a bullish signal and vice versa for bearish movement.
True Range Adjustment: The script then applies a smoothing function to normalize these movements by dividing them by the True Range (ATR). This ensures that the trend signal is based on relative, rather than absolute, price movements.
ADX Signal Generation: The final step is to calculate the ADX by applying the Relative Moving Average (RMA) to the difference between +DI and -DI. This produces the ADX value, which is plotted in red, making it easy to visualize shifts in market momentum.
Threshold Line: A blue horizontal line is plotted at 30, which serves as a key reference point. When the ADX is above this line, it indicates a strong trend, whether bullish or bearish.
█ HOW TO USE
Trend Strength: Traders typically use the 30 level as a critical threshold. When the ADX is above 30, it signifies a strong trend, making it a favorable environment for trend-following strategies. Conversely, ADX values below 30 suggest a weak or non-trending market.
+DI and -DI Relationship: The indicator also provides insight into whether the trend is bullish or bearish. When +DI is greater than -DI, the market is considered bullish. When -DI is greater than +DI, the market is considered bearish. While this script focuses on the ADX value itself, the underlying +DI and -DI help interpret the trend direction.
Market Conditions: This indicator is effective in trending markets, but not ideal for choppy or sideways conditions. Traders can use it to determine the best entry and exit points when trends are strong, or to avoid trading in periods of low volatility.
Combining with Other Indicators: The ADX is commonly used in conjunction with oscillators like RSI or moving averages, to confirm the trend strength and avoid false signals.
█ METHOD VARIANTS
This script applies the standard approach for calculating the ADX, but could be adapted with the following variants:
Different Timeframes: The script could be modified to calculate ADX values across higher or lower timeframes, depending on the trader's strategy.
Custom Thresholds: Instead of using the default 30 threshold, traders could adjust the horizontal line to suit their own risk tolerance or market conditions.
E9 Shark-32 PatternUnderstanding the Shark-32 Pattern and its Trading Applications
The Shark-32 Pattern is a bearish technical trading formation used to predict market reversals or trend continuations. It highlights a downward move followed by a corrective rally, signaling a potential resumption of the downtrend. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
What is the Shark-32 Pattern?
The Shark-32 pattern is a five-wave structure typically observed in bearish markets:
Wave 0 to X: A significant price decline starts the pattern.
Wave X to A: A correction pushes the price slightly upward.
Wave A to B: The price drops again but doesn’t reach the initial low.
Wave B to C: A final sharp decline concludes the pattern.
Once Wave C is formed, it suggests that the market will continue to move downward, presenting a potential selling or shorting opportunity.
Using the Pattern in Trading
This pattern is valuable for traders seeking high-probability bearish setups. The goal is to capitalize on the continuation of a downtrend following the corrective rally (X to A). Identifying the Shark-32 pattern helps anticipate the next wave of selling pressure.
Trading Setup
Identify a Shark-32 pattern.
If the price closes above the pattern's high, buy at the open the next day.
If the price closes below the pattern's low, short at the open the next day.
Sell/cover when the price moves 7% in the direction of the breakout.
Close the trade for a loss if the price moves 7% in the opposite direction.
For example, in a bull market after an upward breakout from a Shark-32, the net gain was $69.55. The method won 56% of the time with 5,218 winning trades and an average gain of $714.07. Conversely, 44% of trades were losers, with an average loss of $747.33. The average holding period was 26 calendar days.
The gains and losses were closely aligned with the 7% threshold set for this test.
Key Target Levels
To enhance the strategy, use dotted projection lines as target levels:
Upper Target: Drawn above the high of the corrective rally (Wave A). If the price breaks above this line, it may signal further upward movement, indicating a potentially weaker downtrend.
Lower Target: Positioned below the low of Wave C, providing a target for bearish trades.
These lines help determine future price targets and assist in setting take-profit or stop-loss levels.
Trading the Breakout
Look for breakouts once the Shark-32 pattern is identified:
Upward Breakout: If the price closes above the green line (high from two bars ago), it indicates a potential reversal to the upside.
Downward Breakout: If the price breaks below the red line (low from two bars ago), it confirms the bearish continuation.
Breakouts allow traders to adjust their positions based on market shifts.
Trading Tips
Continuation: The Shark-32 pattern acts as a continuation 60% of the time, confirming the ongoing trend.
Breakout Confirmation: Wait for the price to close above or below the pattern’s key levels before entering a trade.
Trade with the Trend: Since the Shark-32 is a continuation pattern, expect the breakout to align with the inbound price trend.
Symmetry: Patterns with symmetry often perform better. For more insights, refer to detailed trading literature.
Half-Staff: The Shark-32 can form midway in a trend, similar to flags and pennants.
Shark-32: Trading Performance
Based on an analysis of 23,369 trades, the following performance metrics were observed:
Bull Market with Upward Breakout: The average net profit was $69.55. This method won 56% of the time, with winning trades averaging $714.07. Losing trades, which constituted 44% of the total, had an average loss of $747.33. The average holding period was 26 calendar days.
Bull Market with Downward Breakout: The average net loss was $(76.36). This method won 43% of the time, with winning trades averaging $753.56. Losing trades, which constituted 57% of the total, had an average loss of $706.32. The average holding period was 23 calendar days.
Bear Market with Upward Breakout: The average net loss was $(89.13). This method won 46% of the time, with winning trades averaging $710.77. Losing trades, which constituted 54% of the total, had an average loss of $756.97. The average holding period was 16 calendar days.

N Bar Reversal Detector [LuxAlgo]The N Bar Reversal Detector is designed to detect and highlight N-bar reversal patterns in user charts, where N represents the length of the candle sequence used to detect the patterns. The script incorporates various trend indicators to filter out detected signals and offers a range of customizable settings to fit different trading strategies.
🔶 USAGE
The N-bar reversal pattern extends the popular 3-bar reversal pattern. While the 3-bar reversal pattern involves identifying a sequence of three bars signaling a potential trend reversal, the N-bar reversal pattern builds on this concept by incorporating additional bars based on user settings. This provides a more comprehensive indication of potential trend reversals. The script automates the identification of these patterns and generates clear, visually distinct signals to highlight potential trend changes.
When a reversal chart pattern is confirmed and aligns with the price action, the pattern's boundaries are extended to create levels. The upper boundary serves as resistance, while the lower boundary acts as support.
The script allows users to filter patterns based on the trend direction identified by various trend indicators. Users can choose to view patterns that align with the detected trend or those that are contrary to it.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 The N-bar Reversal Pattern
The N-bar reversal pattern is a technical analysis tool designed to signal potential trend reversals in the market. It consists of N consecutive bars, with the first N-1 bars used to identify the prevailing trend and the Nth bar confirming the reversal. Here’s a detailed look at the pattern:
Bullish Reversal : In a bullish reversal setup, the first bar is the highest among the first N-1 bars, indicating a prevailing downtrend. Most of the remaining bars in this sequence should be bearish (closing lower than where they opened), reinforcing the existing downward momentum. The Nth (most recent) bar confirms a bullish reversal if its high price is higher than the high of the first bar in the sequence (standard pattern). For a stronger signal, the closing price of the Nth bar should also be higher than the high of the first bar.
Bearish Reversal : In a bearish reversal setup, the first bar is the lowest among the first N-1 bars, indicating a prevailing uptrend. Most of the remaining bars in this sequence should be bullish (closing higher than where they opened), reinforcing the existing upward momentum. The Nth bar confirms a bearish reversal if its low price is lower than the low of the first bar in the sequence (standard pattern). For a stronger signal, the closing price of the Nth bar should also be lower than the low of the first bar.
🔹 Min Percentage of Required Candles
This parameter specifies the minimum percentage of candles that must be bullish (for a bearish reversal) or bearish (for a bullish reversal) among the first N-1 candles in a pattern. For higher values of N, it becomes more challenging for all of the first N-1 candles to be consistently bullish or bearish. By setting a percentage value, P, users can adjust the requirement so that only a minimum of P percent of the first N-1 candles need to meet the bullish or bearish condition. This allows for greater flexibility in pattern recognition, accommodating variations in market conditions.
🔶 SETTINGS
Pattern Type: Users can choose the type of the N-bar reversal patterns to detect: Normal, Enhanced, or All. "Normal" detects patterns that do not necessarily surpass the high/low of the first bar. "Enhanced" detects patterns where the last bar surpasses the high/low of the first bar. "All" detects both Normal and Enhanced patterns.
Reversal Pattern Sequence Length: Specifies the number of candles (N) in the sequence used to identify a reversal pattern.
Min Percentage of Required Candles: Sets the minimum percentage of the first N-1 candles that must be bullish (for a bearish reversal) or bearish (for a bullish reversal) to qualify as a valid reversal pattern.
Derived Support and Resistance: Toggles the visibility of the support and resistance levels/zones.
🔹 Trend Filtering
Filtering: Allows users to filter patterns based on the trend indicators: Moving Average Cloud, Supertrend, and Donchian Channels. The "Aligned" option only detects patterns that align with the trend and conversely, the "Opposite" option detects patterns that go against the trend.
🔹 Trend Indicator Settings
Moving Average Cloud: Allows traders to choose the type of moving averages (SMA, EMA, HMA, etc.) and set the lengths for fast and slow moving averages.
Supertrend: Options to set the ATR length and factor for Supertrend.
Donchian Channels: Option to set the length for the channel calculation.

Prometheus Volatility StopThe Prometheus Volatility Stop is an indicator designed to give you a moving risk metric along with a custom Moving Average cross. After a calculation of the annualized volatility for the specified lookback period we determine bullish or bearish from the moving averages and plot the Volatility Stop accordingly.
User Input:
A user can select from Hull Moving Average, Exponential Moving average, Simple Moving Average, the Moving Average used in RSI, and Weighted Moving Average. The default is Hull Moving Average and Exponential Moving average.
A user can also specify the lookback period. The default is 30.
A user may also turn off the plots for the Moving Averages.
The reason for this approach is to be more original from the traditional Volatility Stop.
Calculation:
The Historical Volatility is calculated by taking the standard deviation of the log returns for the specified period and then annualizing it.
hv = ta.stdev(math.log(close / close ), lkb) * math.sqrt(252/5)
Then the Volatility Stop is calculated as follows:
recent_max = ta.highest(close, lkb)
recent_min = ta.lowest(close, lkb)
hv_stop = ma_2 > ma_1 ? recent_max + hv : recent_min - hv
When the second selected moving average is greater than the first, which signals bearishness, the historical volatility gets added to the high of that period. When the moving averages signal bullish the historical volatility gets subtracted from the low of that period.
Here is an example on NASDAQ:ARM :
After the first crossover, bullish signal, price runs for some time. As we get higher and higher so does the Volatility Stop. At the highs before a bearish crossover the price hits and closes at the Volatility Stop. Providing what could be an exit from a strong run up.
Intra-day example on NASDAQ:QQQ :
We see that in the early bearish move price goes on to hit the Volatility Stop before the trend switches.
We also see that in the failed long. The price action throughout the rest of the day, while not providing in profit stop outs, do provide fine directional alerts.
All those examples have been done with the default settings. Upon changing Moving Average One to a WMA and Moving Average Two to an SMA, as well as the lookback to 75. We see this quickly can become a simple trend follower.
This is the perspective we aim to provide. We encourage traders to not follow indicators blindly. No indicator is 100% accurate. This one can give you a different perspective of price strength with volatility. We encourage any comments about desired updates or criticism!
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) [LuxAlgo]The Change In State Of Delivery (CISD) indicator detects and displays Change in State Of Delivery, a concept related to market structures.
Users can choose between two different CISD detection methods. Various filtering options are also included to filter out less significant CISDs.
🔶 USAGE
A Change in State of Delivery (CISD) is a concept closely related to market structures, where price breaks a level of interest, confirming trends and their continuations from the resulting breakouts.
Unlike more traditional market structures which rely on swing points, CISDs rely on a persistent sequence of candles, using the sequence extremes as breakout levels.
CISDs are detected as follows:
Bullish: The price closes above the opening price of the first candle in a sequence of bearish candles (or its own opening price if it's the only candle).
Bearish: The price closes below the opening price of the first candle in a sequence of bullish candles (or its own opening price if it's the only candle).
If a newly detected CISD aligns with the indicator's current established trend, this confirms a trend continuation (represented with a dashed line).
On the other hand, if a newly detected CISD is in the opposite direction to the detected trend it can confirm a trend reversal (represented with a solid line).
🔹 Liquidity Sweep Detection Method
Using Liquidity Sweeps to update CISD breakout levels allows us to obtain less frequent and more relevant levels that are less sensitive to noisy price variations.
Sweeps are obtained from detected Swing Points , with a higher Swing Length allowing us to obtain longer-term swing levels and potentially more detected sweeps from a specific level over time.
Note: The 'Swing Length' setting is only applicable on the Liquidity Sweep Detection Method and will only change the Liquidity levels.
A Liquidity Sweep is valid when the price reaches an important liquidity level , after which the price closes below/above this level.
Bullish scenario: The price goes below a previous unbroken Swing Low but closes above.
Bearish scenario: The price goes above a previous unbroken Swing High but closes below.
After a Liquidity Sweep has been detected, the last level of importance acts as support/resistance . Breaking this level in the other direction changes the state of delivery .
Users must keep observing the price and significant levels, as highlighted by the white rectangle in the above example.
🔹 CISD Filtering
Users can adjust the following two settings:
Minimum CISD Duration: The minimum length of the 'CISD' line
Maximum Swing Validity: The maximum length of the 'CISD' line; potential CISD lines that aren't broken are deleted when exceeding the limit.
The chart can get cluttered when the Minimum CISD Duration is low. Users could focus on a switch in trend (first solid line CISD ), where the following dashed CISD lines can be seen as extra opportunities/confirmations.
🔶 DETAIL
🔹 Using Different Timeframes
When an important liquidity level (Previous Swing high/low, FVG, etc.) is reached on the higher timeframe, the user can move to a lower timeframe to check whether there is a CISD .
Above example:
The high of the last candle breaches a liquidity level (previous Swing High). The opening price of the last candle acts as a trigger/confirmation level.
A confirmed CISD is seen in a lower timeframe, just after this Liquidity Sweep. This could be an early opportunity.
Later, a confirmed CISD on the higher timeframe is established.
🔶 SETTINGS
Detection Method: Classic or Liquidity Sweep
Swing Length: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer-term Swing Levels.
Minimum CISD Duration: The minimum length of the CISD line
Maximum Swing Validity: The maximum length of the CISD line; potential CISD lines that aren't broken are deleted when exceeding the limit.
Mystic Pulse [CHE]Mystic Pulse - A Non-Lagging Trend Indicator
Introduction
In the world of trading, identifying trends accurately and timely is crucial for successful decision-making. The saying "The Trend is Your Friend" encapsulates this principle, emphasizing the importance of riding the prevailing market trend. The Mystic Pulse indicator is designed to help traders do exactly that—detect trends early and follow them with confidence.
This presentation will walk you through how the Mystic Pulse indicator functions, its advantages, and how it can be a powerful tool in your trading arsenal.
Key Features of Mystic Pulse
Non-Lagging Signals: Unlike traditional indicators that often lag the market, Mystic Pulse generates trend signals in real-time, ensuring you are always in sync with the current market direction.
Adaptive Smoothing: The indicator employs a smoothing factor that dynamically adjusts based on recent price action, reducing noise and focusing on significant market movements.
Directional Movement Analysis: By calculating the directional movement index (DI+ and DI-) with a unique smoothing approach, the indicator identifies whether bulls or bears are in control.
Trend Counting Logic: The indicator counts consecutive positive and negative trend signals, providing a clear visual representation of the market’s direction.
Customizable Candle Colors: For better visual clarity, the indicator allows for customization of candle colors, highlighting neutral, bullish, or bearish candles based on trend strength.
Understanding the Indicator
1. Directional Movement and ADX Calculation
The Mystic Pulse uses a modified ADX calculation known as ZLAG ADX. It assesses true range, directional movement (both positive and negative), and smoothes these values over a specified length. This helps in capturing the essence of market trends without lag:
True Range (TR): Measures market volatility by comparing the high-low range to the previous close.
Directional Movement: Determines whether bulls (DI+) or bears (DI-) are gaining strength.
These components are then smoothed using a custom formula that adapts to recent price movements, ensuring that the signals remain relevant and timely.
2. Trend Counting Mechanism
The heart of Mystic Pulse is its trend counting logic:
Positive Trend Count: Increases when DI+ shows strengthening bullish signals.
Negative Trend Count: Increases when DI- indicates stronger bearish control.
Total Trend Count: Reflects the dominant trend by comparing positive and negative counts.
This counting mechanism ensures that the indicator is always aware of the current market bias, updating in real-time.
3. Visualization and Signal Generation
The indicator provides visual cues through color-coded plots:
Green Plot: Indicates an ongoing uptrend (positive trend count is higher).
Red Plot: Signals a downtrend (negative trend count is higher).
Neutral Candles: Optionally highlighted when neither bulls nor bears dominate, offering a clearer view of indecisive market conditions.
Application and Strategy
The Mystic Pulse indicator is ideal for traders who prefer trend-following strategies. Here's how you can apply it effectively:
Entry Points: Enter trades when the trend count strongly favors one direction, indicated by consecutive green (bullish) or red (bearish) plots.
Exit Points: Consider exiting when the opposite trend starts to gain traction, signaled by a change in the dominant color.
Risk Management: Use the neutral candle display to avoid trades in uncertain market conditions, thereby reducing risk.
Conclusion
The Mystic Pulse indicator is a sophisticated tool that helps traders stay aligned with market trends, offering non-lagging, adaptive signals. Its design reflects the trading philosophy "The Trend is Your Friend," enabling you to follow the market's lead with confidence.
By incorporating this indicator into your trading strategy, you can enhance your ability to identify and capitalize on emerging trends, minimizing lag and maximizing potential returns.

Follow the Volumes / Path of Least ResistanceThis indicator tracks price movements following significant volume increases. It identifies volume spikes by comparing recent average volume to a longer-term average. After a spike, it monitors price changes over a specified number of bars.
In plain English, the point of this is to “let the market show it’s hand”, vs. other common and preemptive methods of execution.
You can think of it as a better version of a volume up/down indicator which only uses opening and closing prices to identify "bullish" or "bearish" behavior.
To optimize this, I used a very small range chart, hence the small values. You will need to experiment with other values, ESPECIALLY the % change. If you do not do this, the indicator will generate a lot of noise.
The indicator has three main conditions:
1. Significant price increase, bullish: A green triangle appears below the bar.
2. Significant price decrease, bearish: A red triangle appears above the bar.
3. Price change within thresholds: A fuschia triangle appears, pointing up or down based on the overall (short-term) trend. This is common behavior during trends. A spike in volume will appear, and price simply does not budge. Volume/price is essentially declaring a new found value, in which case prices tend to follow the impulse movement (see market profile theory).
The color scheme is intuitive: green for positive moves, red for negative, and fuschia for subtle changes following the existing trend. Blue circles mark volume spikes for reference, which I recommend using only for reference, and disabling to remove unneeded noise.
Because this indicator "lags" in the sense of waiting for the market to show its hand, best opportunities are typically found on retests of the volume spikes themselves. On drives, however, the market will unlikely pullback, which (in my view) is one of its best use cases.
Bottom line, you will need to adjust the parameters to the instrument. This is not a plug and play solution, but far more accurate than those which are.
Settings, and what they mean:
Volume spike average bars: length for identification of high volumes. On smaller timeframes, such as my optimization period, you’ll want several bars. But on something such as a 5 minute or higher, only 1.
Lookback period: for identification of high volumes.
Volume Increase Threshold (%): % which constitutes a jump in volume
Bars After Spike: How long to wait for ensuing price movement. Also sensitive to the timeframe you are using. 1-2 recommended for 5m+, more for smaller range-based.
Negative Price Change Threshold (%): For red arrows (Volume + Price Movement)
Positive Price Change Threshold (%): Inverse of above
WMA Period for Stability Function: When price spikes on high volumes but does not move (price is “trapped” between negative and positive price change thresholds) the indicator marks direction (in fuchsia) in the direction of the underlying trend. This short-term MA identifies that trend.
Finally, because this indicator is volume-based, I recommend using primary instruments only and discourage its use on CFDs or other firm-generated instruments. Just use the primary. I would ignore signals off the open, which is subject to erroneous behavior. Other methods are far more effective for that.
This script is purposely uncomplicated. Feel free to play with settings and change code to suit your needs.
Special Engulfing BarsExplanation of the Code:
Bullish Engulfing:
low <= low : The low of the current candle is lower than or equal to the low of the previous candle.
close >= close : The close of the current candle is higher than or equal to the close of the previous candle.
close > open: The current candle is bullish.
open > close : The previous candle is bearish.
Bearish Engulfing:
high >= high : The high of the current candle is higher than or equal to the high of the previous candle.
close <= close : The close of the current candle is lower than or equal to the close of the previous candle.
close < open: The current candle is bearish.
open < close : The previous candle is bullish.
Plot shape : Displays a signal on the chart when a bullish engulfing pattern (green color) or a bearish engulfing pattern (red color) is detected.
Alert condition : Sets an alert to send a notification when a bullish or bearish engulfing pattern is detected.
Algo Market Structure (Nephew_Sam_)This indicator takes a different approach into reading market structure.
The key difference between this logic compared to the pivot logic is; we read highs and lows based on bullish and bearish candles. Ie:
Pivot method - highest/lowest point in previous and next X candles
Algo method - Bullish candle(s) followed by a bearish candle and vice versa
More explanation in each of the key feature below.
Here are all of the concepts and features included in the indicator:
Timeframe
- You can select the timeframe of the indicator (has to be higher or equal to the chart timeframe)
- Min option is the minimum timeframe to show the indicator. If you show daily structure on 1m chart, you can run into a timeout error so keep it close to the chart timeframe.
- Recommended timeframe for no bugs is the current chart timeframe.
Structure
The structure is calculated using a combination of candle patterns (ie. pivot top = Bullish x3-Bearish-Bullish) and marks out circle labels after a new HH or LL
Structure high = 1 or more consecutive bull candles followed by a bear candle
Structure low = 1 or more consecutive bear candles followed by a bull candle
Structure direction change = when the second previous H/L is taken out (TLQ)
ILQ - Inducement Liquidity concept
In a bearish example this is the most recent structure high.
TLQ
In a bearish example this is the second most recent structure high.
This is also what helps define our structure direction. If broken, the structure changes (bullish / bearish) and plots a bos line.
EPA - Efficient price action
When price returns back to previous structure point after bos. Similar to an ICT breaker.
Note: It might be a little, just a little buggy if you have set your indicator timeframe to higher than the chart timeframe.
Extremes Zones
The final zone to find a trade entry before a structural shift. These are wick of the TLQ candle. This is select the wick of the current timeframe candle even if indicator is set to higher timeframe.
MSU
Tiny arrow labels at the bottom of your chart. Plots the arrows when price is between an ILQ and TLQ
VTA
Valid trading range. This is when we get some sort of a structure pattern. Plots a box when price induces previous structure point and then breaks structure in the opposite direction. Here are the patterns:
Bull VTA - HH-LL-HH
Bear VTA - LL-HH-LL
Bull Strict VTA - LL-HH-LL-HH
Bear Strict VTA - HH-LL-HH-LL
Bar colors
Changes the bar color based on the structure to all green/red.
Note: for this to work, you will have to right click on the indicator, then under visual order select 'bring to front'
Table
This table plots the structure stats/data
1. If structure is bullish / bearish
2. If price is efficient or not
3. If there is an MSU
4. If price is inside a VTA
Disclaimer: This indicator is fully written from scratch by me, the idea behind the concepts come from AlgoHub material on Youtube. Do NOT use this code for reselling purposes and if anything is created using any part of this code, the source code should be public.
Crab Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Harmonic Chart patterns🔵 Introduction
The Crab pattern is recognized as a reversal pattern in technical analysis, utilizing Fibonacci numbers and percentages for chart analysis. This pattern can predict suitable price reversal areas on charts using Fibonacci ratios.
The structure of the Crab pattern can manifest in both bullish and bearish forms on the chart. By analyzing this structure, traders can identify points where the price direction changes, which are essential for making informed trading decisions.
The pattern's structure is visually represented on charts as shown below. To gain a deeper understanding of the Crab pattern's functionality, it is beneficial to become familiar with its various harmonic forms.
🟣 Types of Crab Patterns
The Crab pattern is categorized into two types based on its structure: bullish and bearish. The bullish Crab is denoted by the letter M, while the bearish Crab is indicated by the letter W in technical analysis.
Typically, a bullish Crab pattern signals a potential price increase, whereas a bearish Crab pattern suggests a potential price decrease on the chart.
The direction of price movement depends significantly on the price's position within the chart. By identifying whether the pattern is bullish or bearish, traders can determine the likely direction of the price reversal.
Bullish Crab :
Bearish Crab :
🔵 How to Use
When trading using the Crab pattern, crucial parameters include the end time of the correction and the point at which the chart reaches its peak. Generally, the best time to buy is when the chart nears the end of its correction, and the best time to sell is when it approaches the peak price.
As we discussed, the end of the price correction and the time to reach the peak are measured using Fibonacci ratios. By analyzing these levels, traders can estimate the end of the correction in the chart waves and select a buying position for their stock or asset upon reaching that ratio.
🟣 Bullish Crab Pattern
In this pattern, the stock price is expected to rise at the pattern's completion, transitioning into an upward trend. The bullish Crab pattern usually begins with an upward trend, followed by a price correction, after which the stock resumes its upward movement.
If a deeper correction occurs, the price will change direction at some point on the chart and rise again towards its target price. Price corrections play a critical role in this pattern, as it aims to identify entry and exit points using Fibonacci ratios, allowing traders to make purchases at the end of the corrections.
When the price movement lines are connected on the chart, the bullish Crab pattern resembles the letter M.
🟣 Bearish Crab Pattern
In this pattern, the stock price is expected to decline at the pattern's completion, leading to a strong downward trend. The bearish Crab pattern typically starts with a price correction in a downward trend and, after several fluctuations, reaches a peak where the direction changes downward, resulting in a significant price drop.
This pattern uses Fibonacci ratios to identify points where the price movement is likely to change direction, enabling traders to exit their positions at the chart's peak. When the price movement lines are connected on the chart, the bearish Crab pattern resembles the letter W.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Logical Setting
ZigZag Pivot Period : You can adjust the period so that the harmonic patterns are adjusted according to the pivot period you want. This factor is the most important parameter in pattern recognition.
Show Valid Format : If this parameter is on "On" mode, only patterns will be displayed that they have exact format and no noise can be seen in them. If "Off" is, the patterns displayed that maybe are noisy and do not exactly correspond to the original pattern.
Show Formation Last Pivot Confirm : if Turned on, you can see this ability of patterns when their last pivot is formed. If this feature is off, it will see the patterns as soon as they are formed. The advantage of this option being clear is less formation of fielded patterns, and it is accompanied by the latest pattern seeing and a sharp reduction in reward to risk.
Period of Formation Last Pivot : Using this parameter you can determine that the last pivot is based on Pivot period.
🟣 Genaral Setting
Show : Enter "On" to display the template and "Off" to not display the template.
Color : Enter the desired color to draw the pattern in this parameter.
LineWidth : You can enter the number 1 or numbers higher than one to adjust the thickness of the drawing lines. This number must be an integer and increases with increasing thickness.
LabelSize : You can adjust the size of the labels by using the "size.auto", "size.tiny", "size.smal", "size.normal", "size.large" or "size.huge" entries.
🟣 Alert Setting
Alert : On / Off
Message Frequency : This string parameter defines the announcement frequency. Choices include: "All" (activates the alert every time the function is called), "Once Per Bar" (activates the alert only on the first call within the bar), and "Once Per Bar Close" (the alert is activated only by a call at the last script execution of the real-time bar upon closing). The default setting is "Once per Bar".
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : The date, hour, and minute you receive in alert messages can be based on any time zone you choose. For example, if you want New York time, you should enter "UTC-4". This input is set to the time zone "UTC" by default.
VWAP with RSIVWAP with RSI Indicator
Overview
The VWAP with RSI Indicator is a powerful tool that combines the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to provide traders with comprehensive insights into price trends, volume-weighted price levels, and market momentum. This dual-indicator setup enhances your trading strategy by offering a clearer understanding of the market conditions, potential entry and exit points, and trend reversals.
Key Features
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):
Calculation: The VWAP is calculated using the high, low, and close prices, weighted by trading volume over a specified period.
Purpose: VWAP provides an average price that reflects the trading volume at different price levels, helping traders identify the true average price over a given period.
Visualization: The VWAP line is plotted in blue on the price chart, indicating the volume-weighted average price.
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
Calculation: RSI is based on the average gains and losses over a specified period (default is 14 periods) and ranges from 0 to 100.
Purpose: RSI measures the speed and change of price movements, identifying overbought or oversold conditions in the market.
Overbought/Oversold Levels:
Overbought: RSI above 70 (red line).
Oversold: RSI below 30 (green line).
Midline: RSI at 50 (gray dashed line).
Visualization: The RSI line changes color based on its value (purple for normal, red for overbought, green for oversold) and is plotted below the price chart.
Background Fill for RSI:
Overbought Area: Shaded red when RSI is above 70.
Oversold Area: Shaded green when RSI is below 30.
Bullish and Bearish Divergence Detection:
Bullish Divergence: Occurs when price forms a lower low, but RSI forms a higher low, indicating potential upward reversal.
Visualization: Bullish divergence points are marked with a green line and labeled "Bull."
Bearish Divergence: Occurs when price forms a higher high, but RSI forms a lower high, indicating potential downward reversal.
Visualization: Bearish divergence points are marked with a red line and labeled "Bear."
Alerts: Conditions for bullish and bearish divergences trigger alerts.
Settings
VWAP Settings:

Heads UpAn indicator that gives you the "heads up" that that bullish/ bearish strength is increasing.
I wanted an indicator that could give me the "heads up" that bullish/ bearish strength is increasing. This would help me get into a breakout early or avoid entering a breakout that had a high probability of failure.
Here are my definitions for this indicator:
My bull bar definition:
- A green candle that closes above 75% of it's candle range.
- The candle's body does not overlap the previous candle's body. Tails/ wicks CAN overlap.
My bear bar definition:
- A red candle that closes below 75% of it's candle range.
- the candle's body does not overlap the previous candle's body. Tails/ ticks CAN overlap.
Bullish strength increasing (arrow up):
- Bull bars are increasing in size (the candle's range) compared to previous 5 bars.
- 2 consecutive bull bars.
Bearish strength increasing (arrow down):
- Bear bars are increasing in size (the candle's range) compared to previous 5 bars.
- 2 consecutive bear bars.
You will not see this indicator trigger very often but when it does - it's because there is a change in bullish bearish strength.
Things to be aware of:
Use the indicator in line with the context of the previous trend. You will get triggers that fail. These are usually because they appear counter trend. When in doubt zoom out.
It will not call every successful breakout. If you understand the definitions you'll understand why it appears.
This is my first indicator and used for my personal use. Feedback and other ideas are welcome.
Scaled Historical ATR [SS]Hello again everyone,
This is the Scaled ATR Range indicator. This was done in response to an article/analysis I posted regarding the expected high and range on SPX. I would encourage you to read it here:
Essentially, I took SPX data, scaled it to correct for inflation, then calculated the ATR for Bullish years to get our average range to expect and our close range to expected.
I accomplished this analysis using Excel; however, I figured Pinescript would handle this type of task more elegantly, and I was correct!
This indicator is the result.
What it does:
This indicator permits the analyst to select a historic period in time. The indicator will then scale the period into returns and convert the range to a corrected range based on the current position of the ticker. How it does this is by converting the returns of the historic period selected, then multiplying the returns by the current period open, to ensure that the range amounts are corrected for inflation and natural growth of a ticker.
I say analyst because this indicator is intended to be used by both professional and recreational analysts, to give them an easy way to:
a) Scale historic data and correct it based on the current rate; and
b) Offer insight into a ticker’s ATR and behaviour during bullish and bearish periods.
Prior to this indicator, the only way to do this would be manually or the use of statistical software.
How to use?
The indicator’s use is quite simple. Once launched, the indicator will ask the user to input a timeframe period that the user is interested in assessing. In the main chart above, I chose SPX between 1995 and 2001.
The user can further filter down the data using the settings menu. In the settings menu, there is an option to filter by “All”, “Bullish Periods” or “Bearish Periods”.
Filtering by “All”
Filtering by “All” will include all candles selected within the timeframe. This includes both bearish and bullish candles. It will give you the averaged out range for the entire period of time, including both bearish and bullish instances.
Filtering by “Bullish”
Filtering by “Bullish” will omit any red candles from the analysis. It will only return the ATR ranges for green, bullish candles.
Filtering by “Bearish”
Inverse to filtering by Bullish, if you filter by Bearish, it will only include the red, bearish candles in the analysis.
My suggestion? If you are trying to determine t he likely outcome of a bullish year, filter by Bullish instances. If you want the likely outcome of a bearish year, filter by Bearish.
Other features of the Indicator:
The indicator will display the current period statistics. In the main chart above, you can see that the current ranges for this year are displayed. This allows you to do a side by side comparison of the current period vs. the historic period you are looking at. This can alert you to further upside, further downside and the anticipated close range. It can also alert you to whether or not we are following a similar trajectory as the historical periods you are looking at.
As well, the indicator will list target prices for the current period based on the historical periods you are looking at. This helps to put things into perspective.
Concluding Remarks
And that is the indicator in a nutshell! I encourage you to read the article I linked above to see how you may use it in an analysis. This would be the best example of a real world application of this indicator!
Otherwise, I hope you enjoy and, as always, safe trades!

- For timeframes less than or equal to 12 hours, the step size is set to "7D" (weekly).
- For timeframes less than or equal to 1 day, the step size is set to "1M" (monthly).
- For timeframes less than or equal to 1 week, the step size is set to "3M" (three months).
- For all other timeframes, the step size is set to "12M" (yearly).
8. Trend Calculation
The core of the indicator is its ability to calculate market trends. Here's a detailed breakdown of how the `calculateTrend` function works:
- Initialization: Variables for the middle price and scale, and summations of high/low prices and ranges, are initialized.
- Summation Loop: A loop runs over the smoothing length to calculate the sum of high and low prices and their range.
- Middle and Scale Calculation: The middle price is determined as the average of high/low sums, and the scale is calculated as a fraction of the average range.
- Normalization: The high, low, and close prices are normalized based on the middle price and scale.
- HT Calculation: The normalized prices are smoothed using a simple moving average (SMA).
- Frequency and Exponential Calculations: The frequency and related constants (a, c1, c2, c3) are calculated for further smoothing.
- Smoothed Moving Average (SMA): A smoothed moving average is computed using the HT values and exponential constants.
- WT1 and WT2 Calculation: The final smoothed values (WT1) and their average (WT2) are derived.
9. Color Application Based on Trend
Once the trend is calculated, the script applies the appropriate color to the candles based on the selected color scheme. This function ensures that the visual representation of the trend is consistent with the user’s preferences.
10. Label Plotting for Timeframes
If the option to display timeframe labels is enabled, the script plots labels on the chart to indicate the current timeframe. This feature helps users quickly identify which timeframe they are analyzing.
11. Shape Plotting Based on Trend and Color Scheme
The indicator plots shapes (squares) on the chart based on the calculated trend and selected color scheme. These shapes provide an additional visual cue for market conditions, enhancing the overall clarity of the indicator.
12. Neutral Candle Color Option
The script includes an option to set the color of neutral candles when market conditions are neither strongly bullish nor bearish. This option helps traders better visualize periods of market indecision.
Summary
The "Regime Filter II " is a powerful and customizable tool for traders, offering clear visual cues for market trends and adaptability to various timeframes.

Quantiple Direction IndexThis indicator indicates market trends by analyzing the following signals:
1. RSI which is a momentum oscillator
2. Directional Movement Index (DMI) which measures the direction of the movement
3. Price in comparison to EMA 13 and 21 to determine whether the trend is clear or there is an ambiguity
4. ADX that shows the strength of the momentum
Scoring logic
While we have kept the source code open which gives the scoring logic, for ease of the user, I am summarizing the scoring logic
A. We break down RSI and DMI into a 9 point scale (-4 to +4) from extremely bearish to bullish. Then we give equal weight to both and come out with a direction score.
B. We use EMA to determine if their is clarity in the price trend. While the direction is deduced from point A, if there is clarity we know that the confidence on the direction is high. If EMA 13 is higher than EMA 21 and the price is above EMA 13, then we assign it as a score of +1 as we get clear bullish trend. Similarly if EMA 13 is below EMA 21 and the price is below both the EMAs then we assign it a score of -1 as we get clear bearish trend. Anything else is considered as inconclusive and given a score of 0
C. We use ADX to determine the strength of the directional momentum. It is like acceleration. We use ADX score as an strength adjustment factor. If the value is above 25 - we multiply A+B by 1.25. Similarly we multiply it by 0.75 if the strength is weak and no change if the strength is neutral.
Finally this indicator categorizes market direction into five levels:
- Very Bullish
- Bullish
- Neutral
- Bearish
- Very Bearish
Scores range from +6 (very bullish) to -6 (very bearish), with the user setting thresholds for each category. The midpoint between Bullish and Bearish defines the neutral zone.
Again all the exact values are in the code and the user can also customize as per their trading system.
Why does it make sense to combine these different indicators rather than looking at them in isolation?
We give equal weight to RSI and DMI to derive the direction of the price movement. Using two different indicators provide a better confirmation on the direction. However, this alone is not sufficient.
We want clarity of the direction and for that we use the EMA score (please refer to point B above). If we have clarity, the probability of the direction being right goes up.
Once we know the direction, we want to know what is the strength of that direction. This point is very valuable for an option trader. This is where this indicator brings value.
Please note that by looking at these indicators in isolation one can get a sense of direction or a sense of strength of the direction. But, when you combine them, you get whether the direction move is with strength or not. If you are into option trading, you will clearly understand the rational behind it when you look at the trading rules provided in this description. For example if one knows that the direction is bullish (which one can potentially get from RSI or DMI), one can either buy a call or sell a put. But one knows that not only the direction is bullish, but it has the right acceleration (strength of the momentum), then one will assign higher probability of higher profit from buying call than from selling put.
To summarize we have combined indicators to achieve the following
1. Get confirmation from two different indicators on the direction of the price movement (RSI and DMI)
2. Confirm that the direction is clear (Price relative to EMA)
3. Combine with the strength of the direction (ADX)
Direction, clarity of the direction and the strength of the directional movement is a valuable trading indicator in our opinion.
Suggested trading rules
1. Short strangle strategy when the trend is neutral with one's usual option selling quantity. Equal quantity on put and call.
2. Full quantity short put and half quantity short call when the trend is bullish.
3. Full quantity short put and call long when the indicator is very bullish.
4. Vice versa for bearish ( full call short, half put short) and very bearish (full call short, put long)
Suggested to use 5 min timeframe for scalping, 15 min for intraday positions, 1 hour for weekly and monthly positions, and daily/weekly for investments.
The value of this indicator oscillates between +6 to -6. You can tweak the range for V bullish, bullish, bearish, and v bearish. The values in between will default to the neutral zone.

Chuck Dukas Market Phases of Trends (based on 2 Moving Averages)This script is based on the article “Defining The Bull And The Bear” by Chuck Duckas, published in Stocks & Commodities V. 25:13 (14-22); (S&C Bonus Issue, 2007).
The article “Defining The Bull And The Bear” discusses the concepts of “bullish” and “bearish” in relation to the price behavior of financial instruments. Chuck Dukas explains the importance of analyzing price trends and provides a framework for categorizing price activity into six phases. These phases, including recovery, accumulation, bullish, warning, distribution, and bearish, help to assess the quality of the price structure and guide decision-making in trading. Moving averages are used as tools for determining the context preceding the current price action, and the slope of a moving average is seen as an indicator of trend and price phase analysis.
The six phases of trends
// Definitions of Market Phases
recovery_phase = src > ma050 and src < ma200 and ma050 < ma200 // color: blue
accumulation_phase = src > ma050 and src > ma200 and ma050 < ma200 // color: purple
bullish_phase = src > ma050 and src > ma200 and ma050 > ma200 // color: green
warning_phase = src < ma050 and src > ma200 and ma050 > ma200 // color: yellow
distribution_phase = src < ma050 and src < ma200 and ma050 > ma200 // color: orange
bearish_phase = src < ma050 and src < ma200 and ma050 < ma200 // color red
Recovery Phase : This phase marks the beginning of a new trend after a period of consolidation or downtrend. It is characterized by the gradual increase in prices as the market starts to recover from previous losses.
Accumulation Phase : In this phase, the market continues to build a base as prices stabilize before making a significant move. It is a period of consolidation where buying and selling are balanced.
Bullish Phase : The bullish phase indicates a strong upward trend in prices with higher highs and higher lows. It is a period of optimism and positive sentiment in the market.
Warning Phase : This phase occurs when the bullish trend starts to show signs of weakness or exhaustion. It serves as a cautionary signal to traders and investors that a potential reversal or correction may be imminent.
Distribution Phase : The distribution phase is characterized by the market topping out as selling pressure increases. It is a period where supply exceeds demand, leading to a potential shift in trend direction.
Bearish Phase : The bearish phase signifies a strong downward trend in prices with lower lows and lower highs. It is a period of pessimism and negative sentiment in the market.
These rules of the six phases outline the cyclical nature of market trends and provide traders with a framework for understanding and analyzing price behavior to make informed trading decisions based on the current market phase.
60-period channel
The 60-period channel should be applied differently in each phase of the market cycle.
Recovery Phase : In this phase, the 60-period channel can help identify the beginning of a potential uptrend as price stabilizes or improves. Traders can look for new highs frequently in the 60-period channel to confirm the trend initiation or continuation.
Accumulation Phase : During the accumulation phase, the 60-period channel can highlight that the current price is sufficiently strong to be above recent price and longer-term price. Traders may observe new highs frequently in the 60-period channel as the slope of the 50-period moving average (SMA) trends upwards while the 200-period moving average (SMA) slope is losing its downward slope.
Bullish Phase : In the bullish phase, the 60-period channel showing a series of higher highs is crucial for confirming the uptrend. Additionally, traders should observe an upward-sloping 50-period SMA above an upward-sloping 200-period SMA for further validation of the bullish phase.
Warning Phase : When in the warning phase, the 60-period channel can provide insights into whether the current price is weaker than recent prices. Traders should pay attention to the relationship between the price close, the 50-period SMA, and the 200-period SMA to gauge the strength of the phase.
Distribution Phase : In the distribution phase, traders should look for new lows frequently in the 60-period channel, hinting at a weakening trend. It is crucial to observe that the 50-period SMA is still above the 200-period SMA in this phase.
Bearish Phase : Lastly, in the bearish phase, the 60-period channel reflecting a series of lower lows confirms the downtrend. Traders should also note that the price close is below both the 50-period SMA and the 200-period SMA, with the relationship of the 50-period SMA being less than the 200-period SMA.
By carefully analyzing the 60-period channel in each phase, traders can better understand market trends and make informed decisions regarding their investments.
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,
Alex Entrepreneur
