Flag FinderFlag Finder Indicator is a technical analysis tool to identify bull and bear flags.
What are flags
Flags are continuation patterns that occur within the general trend of the security. A bull flag represents a temporary pause or consolidation before price resumes it's upward movement, while a bear flag occurs before price continues its downward movement.
Both flag patterns consist of two components:
The Pole
The Flag
The pole is the initial strong upward surge or decline that precedes the flag. The pole is usually a fast move accompanied by heavy volume signaling significant buying or selling pressure.
The flag is then formed as price consolidates after the initial surge or decline from the pole. For a bull flag price will drift slightly downward to sideways, a bear flag will drift upward to sideways. The best flags often see volume dry up during this phase of the pattern.
Indicator Settings
Both components are fully customizable in the indicator so the user can adjust for any time frame or volatility. Select the minimum and maximum accepted limits from the % gain loss required for the pole, the maximum acceptable flag depth or rally and the minimum and maximum number of bars for each component.
Colors and what components are visible at any time are also user controlled.
Trading flags
Traders typically use flags to enter on breakouts. A breakout occurs when price moves above the left side high of a bull flag or below the left side low of a bear flag.
Alerts
The Flag Finder allows for four different types of alerts
New Bull Flag
New Bear Flag
Bull Flag Breakout
Bear Flag Breakout
Pine Script
On top of the indicator identifying bull and bear flags, throughout the source code I left notes on nearly every line to help anyone who is interested in pine script see my thought process and explain which each line of code does. This code isn't too complex, but it offers a look into many different concepts one might use when writing pinescript such as:
input groups
declaring and reassigning variables

Range H/L Buy and Sell SignalThe "Range H/L Buy and Sell Signal" indicator is designed to identify potential buy and sell signals based on a specified price range and market volatility. This indicator can be used in the TradingView platform to assist traders in making informed decisions.
The indicator allows customization of several parameters to adapt to different trading strategies. These parameters include the start and end times for the price range, the volatility threshold, and the desired breakout conditions.
To begin, the indicator calculates the range start and end timestamps based on the provided hours and minutes. This defines the time period within which the indicator will analyze price movements.
Next, the indicator determines the highest high (High) and lowest low (Low) within the specified price range. These levels represent the upper and lower boundaries of the range and act as potential breakout points.
Volatility is also taken into account to filter out false signals. The indicator calculates the true range and the average true range over a period of 14 bars. The true range measures the price range from the current high to low, while the average true range provides an indication of market volatility.
Based on the breakout conditions and the volatility threshold, buy and sell signals are generated. A buy signal occurs when the closing price crosses above the High and the true range is greater than the volatility threshold multiplied by the average true range. Conversely, a sell signal is triggered when the closing price crosses below the Low and the true range exceeds the volatility threshold multiplied by the average true range.
The indicator visually displays the High and Low levels as plotted lines on the chart. Additionally, it marks the buy signals with green labels labeled "BUY" below the corresponding bars and the sell signals with red labels labeled "SELL" above the bars.
It is important to note that this indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators for comprehensive market analysis. Trading always carries risks, and it is crucial to exercise caution and conduct thorough analysis before making any trading decisions.

tlc with False BreakoutThe strategy aims to identify a trend line channel with the potential for a false breakout. Here's an explanation of the strategy:
The script starts by defining the input parameters. The lookback parameter determines the number of previous bars to consider for detecting the trend lines, and the threshold parameter controls the sensitivity of the trend line detection.
The script then initializes variables to store the trend lines, tap count, and the false breakout signal.
Inside the loop, the script iterates over the specified number of bars (lookback) to identify the trend lines. It checks if the current high is greater than the previous and next highs to identify an upper trend line and sets it using the line.new function. Similarly, it checks if the current low is smaller than the previous and next lows to identify a lower trend line and sets it.
The script also keeps track of the price levels of the upper and lower trend lines using the variables upperTrendLinePrice and lowerTrendLinePrice. These price levels are obtained using the line.get_y1 function.
After the fourth tap (when tapCount is equal to 4), the script checks if the current close price is above the upper trend line or below the lower trend line. If this condition is met, it sets the falseBreakout variable to true, indicating a potential false breakout.
Finally, the script plots a shape marker (plotshape) when a false breakout occurs. This is represented by an orange label displayed below the bar.
At the end of the script, the line.delete function is used to remove the old trend lines when the script reaches the last bar (barstate.islast).
By using this strategy, you can visually identify trend line channels where the upper and lower lines touch higher highs or lower highs and higher lows or lower lows. Additionally, it provides a false breakout signal when the price breaks above the upper trend line or below the lower trend line on the fifth tap.
Volatility Breakout Strategy [Angel Algo]As traders, we're always looking for opportunities to profit from sudden price breakouts, and the Volatility Breakout Strategy aims to do just that.
This script is the perfect starting point for traders who want to experiment with capturing price movements resulting from increased volatility. The script plots the Average True Range (ATR) on the chart, which is a measure of the asset's volatility over a specified period. By setting the "Length" parameter, you can customize the period over which the volatility is measured.
Using the ATR, the strategy calculates upper and lower breakout levels and plots them on the chart. The signals for long and short positions are generated when the price crosses above the upper breakout level or below the lower breakout level, respectively. They are confirmed by checking the current bar state.
The strategy also fills the space between the upper and lower breakout levels with a color that indicates the latest signal direction. This feature helps traders quickly identify the prevailing trend.
The strategy uses the generated signals to enter trades. When a long or short signal is confirmed, and there is no open position in the direction of the signal, the strategy enters a long or short trade, respectively.
Choice of parameters.
Choosing the right value for the Length input parameter is crucial for tailoring the Volatility Breakout Strategy to suit your trading preferences. In general, a higher Length value implies a focus on capturing longer price moves. For instance, in this script, we have set the Length value to 20, resulting in trades that span approximately 100 candles. These trades encompass price trends consisting of multiple swings.
However, if your goal is to trade individual swings rather than longer trends, it's advisable to experiment with smaller values for the Length parameter. By reducing the Length, you can target shorter-term price movements and potentially increase the frequency of trades.
It's important to note that while a higher Length value tends to lead to longer trades, there is no strict correlation between the Length parameter and the average length of trades. This can vary across different markets. Therefore, it's essential to conduct thorough experimentation with various Length values and closely observe the length of trades they generate. Comparing these trade lengths with the average trend or swing length in the specific market can provide valuable insights.
Ideally, you should aim to select a Length value that aligns with the average trend or swing length observed in the market you are trading. This way, you can optimize the strategy to capture price movements that closely match the prevailing market conditions.
Remember, finding the optimal Length value is a process of trial and error, combined with careful observation of trade lengths and their correlation with market trends. So, don't be afraid to experiment and refine the Length parameter to maximize the effectiveness of the Volatility Breakout Strategy in your chosen market.

Open DriveOpen Drive is a market profile concept introduced by Jim Dalton. It occurs when the price moves directionally and persistently for the first 30 minutes from the cash market open.
It is necessary to use 30-minute bars as there needs to be enough time to measure an extreme move of the cash open. This means there will be fewer trades than other strategies using faster time periodicities.
The script finds open drives from these time points 0700/ 0800 and 1300/1430.
The entry signal also has a breakout threshold using the 5-bar high and 5-bar low to only take trades moving away from the prior 5-bar range. This weeds out most mid-range trades and small range expansion bars.
If the price has had a strong move from the open and has broken either below the prior 5-bar low or above the prior 5-bar high by an amount equal to the prior 5-bar range a trade is entered in the direction of the move.
The Exit criteria; exit after 3 bars which is 90mins when using a 30min periodicity.
Note, this script is shared to show that momentum generated on or around the cash open tends to persist. The entry and exits of this strategy are quite naive but there are plenty of ways to take more aggressive entries on faster time frames when an open drive occurs. The times chosen for this strategy will suit stock index futures mainly. The user can experiment with other futures products and their corresponding pit/ cash open hours.
Google "open drive market profile" for more information on open drives and market profile concepts.
Happy trading!
Pivot BreaksThere are built-in and published Pivot Point High Low indicators in Public Library. As far as I see none of them show the breaking candles or the trend.
with the closing price crossing over the previous / current pivot high A bearish breakOut can either indicate the progression of a lower high pattern or a trend reversal
with the closing price crossing under the previous / current pivot low A bullish breakOut can either indicate the progression of a higher low pattern or a trend reversal
This indicator can show the first breaking candle or all breaking candles . It Can also show The Breaking state (Trend) based on the last break.
Alert Mode is included, colour can be customised, Higher TimeFrame can be requested (it Can also cause repainting)
Inputs are optional as possible so have fun with it

Linear Regression & RSI Multi-Function Screener with Table-LabelHi fellow traders..
Happy to share a Linear Regression & RSI Multi-Function Custom Screener with Table-Labels...
The Screener scans for Linear Regression 2-SD Breakouts and RSI OB/OS levels for the coded tickers and gives Summary alerts
Uses Tables (dynamica resizing) for the scanner output instead of standard labels!
This Screener cum indicator collection has two distinct objectives..
1. Attempt re-entry into trending trades.
2. Attempt Counter trend trades using linear regression , RSI and Zigzag.
Briefly about the Screener functions..
a. It uses TABLES as Labels a FIRST for any Screener on TV.
b. Tables dynamically resize based on criteria..
c. Alerts for breakouts of the UPPER and the LOWER regression channels.(2 SD)
d. In addition to LinReg it also Screens RSI for OB/OS levels so a multifunction Screener.
e. Of course has the standard summary Alerts and programmable format for Custom functions.
f. Uses only the inbuilt Auto Fib and Lin Reg code for the screener.(No proprietary stuff)
g. The auto Zigzag code is derived(Auto fib).
Question what are all these doing in a single screener ??
ZigZag is very useful in determining Trend Up or Down from one Pivot to another.
So Once you have a firm view of the Current Trend for your chosen timeframe and ticker…
We can consider few possible trading scenarios..
a. Re-entry in an Up Trend - Combination of OS Rsi And a Lower Channel breach followed by a re-entry back into the regression channel CAN be used as an effective re-entry.
b. Similarily one can join a Down Trend on OB Rsi and Upper Channel line breach followed by re-entry into the regression channel.
If ZigZag signals a range-bound market, bound within channel lines then the Upper breakout can be used to Sell and vice-versa!
In short many possibilities for using these functions together with Scanner and Alerts.
This facilitates timely PROFITABLE Trending and Counter trend opportunities across multiple tickers.
You must give a thorough READ to the various available tutorials on ZigZag / Regression and Fib retracements before attempting counter trend trades using these tools!!
A small TIP – Markets are sideways or consolidating 70% of the time!!
Acknowledgements: - Thanks a lot DGTRD for the Auto ZigZag code and also for the eagerness to help wherever possible..Respect!!
Disclaimer: The Alerts and Screener are just few tools among many and not any kind of Buy/Sell recommendations. Unless you have sufficient trading experience please consult a Financial advisor before investing real money.
*The alerts are set for crossovers however for viewing tickers trading above or below the channel use code in line 343 and 344 after setting up the Alerts!
** RSI alerts are disabled by default to avoid clutter, but if needed one can activate code lines 441,442,444 and 445
Wish you all, Happy Profitable Trading!
SMT - Smart Money Thursday Boxes
The Smart Money Trading Thursday - is a very specific trading system. You only trade it on a Thursday.
The script/indicator will color Thursdays as two boxes. If you just want one color, use same color for
both boxes. The boxes is there to indicate London/New York sessions.
SETTINGS
In the setting you find a numeric value as 1700-0400:5
The "5" indicate Thursday. You can change that if you prefer to color another specific day.
For example "4" would indicate Wednesday. And you can change the hours to fit your
sessions and trading style.
You can also use the 2 boxes on different days. If you for example would like to color up
London for Wednesday and Thursday. Then set hours to fit London session and adjust the
:5 to 4 on the 1st box and 5 on the 2nd.
HOW TO USE IT?
The Smart Money works in a way retail trading does not. Smart Money has an objective
to locate retail patterns, where there will be a lot of stop loss volume to be grabbed.
So when a retail trader see a setup like a "Double Top / Bottom". The Institutional
will see $$$ of dumb money, ready to be taken. The best moves happen on a Thursday
but if you are a skilled trader, you can see the move also occur on Wednesday or Friday.
The first thing that will happen, is that the Smart Money Breaks out of session. Meaning
they will leave the current weeks high/low range. To start collect negative contracts
of the retail volume.
When you see that happen. And you see a breakout that consist of 4 in a row 1 hour
chart candles. Then you have your first rule meet.
#1 Thursday breakout of current weeks high/low. And the move is a clean 4 hour move
as 4x H1 candles. The move can start within range. But must end clearly outside.
Visual Example:
#2 Next, we await an engulf at peak or near peak. That is where Institutional
may have problem to match any more contracts, and since they used their own
money to make this move. They must now mitigate orders, and return back to
the original retail pattern as most retail traders are now stopped out.
(Normally this is a long/clear candle out of range. they rarely go lower
then retail traders entry in the 1st push. This to not save any souls :)
#3 Price returns back to where the breakout from the retail happens.
You can now take your profit as a Smart Money Trader. Trading with less risk,
you can take profit of the return of that latest 4x H1 candle move. (Order
Block)
CONCLUSION
The best trade is when you can combine a retail pattern, followed by a
breakout which holds 4x 1 hour candles in the outbreak direction.
2nd best is when you have the 4x H1 breakout and really no clear retail
pattern. Still is the same game. Just not as clear as the one above.
Study the steps in this image and you see what to look after:
Good Luck with your trading!

The Hunter Trading Group
Big Breakout IndexBig Breakout Index is a great indicator for detecting breakouts. When the current close breaks out of consolidation, the indicator will tell you.
Green - Buy
Red - Sell
VWAP Stdev BandsCurrent price always obeys VWAP and is very useful for intraday traders. The Price will never go beyond the second deviation of VWAP at any point of time. The deviation bands are also very useful in predicting the volatility of the script.
Breakout trades can be taken based on the previous day's VWAP and it's deviations.
One can say that the stock has experienced breakout if current price crosses the fourth deviation of the previous day's VWAP or price bounces off that level, the price movement will be rapid if this occurs providing a good trading opportunity with low risk-reward ratio.
Systematic TF IndicatorThis is a simple trend following indicator which works off moving averages for trend bias and breakouts for entry.
CM_OldSchool_Projected_high_LowHeard this story from Larry Williams…the trader who holds the record for winning the U.S. Trading Championship by turning $10K in to 2 Million.
A trader named Owen Taylor developed this formula as a Floor Trader before to calculate the Projected High and Low of the next day.
The formula worked so well…Owen charged other Traders 1K to get it.
I was pretty impressed with the results…so I coded it for the Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly Projected High Low.
While Owen considered these levels to be major support and resistance, Larry has developed many strategies based on the Breakout of the Projected High Low.
Therefore I coded it so the Levels would plot Yellow, and change to Green if the Projected High was taken out, and Red if the Projected Low was taken out.
***I’ve noticed on many instruments, Stocks, Index’s, Forex etc., depending on the instrument it works great as Support/Resistance or Breakouts.
***On a Daily Chart put the Quarterly and Yearly levels on SPY and EURUSD and go back about 10 years. Levels are pretty accurate.

Uptrick: Volatility Weighted CloudIntroduction
The Volatility Weighted Cloud (VWC) is a trend-tracking overlay that combines adaptive volatility-based bands with a multi-source smoothed price cloud to visualize market bias. It provides users with a dynamic structure that adapts to volatility conditions while maintaining a persistent visual record of trend direction. By incorporating configurable smoothing techniques, percentile-ranked volatility, and multi-line cloud construction, the indicator allows traders to interpret price context more effectively without relying on raw price movement alone.
Overview
The script builds a smoothed price basis using the open, and close prices independently, and uses these to construct a layered visual cloud. This cloud serves both as a reference for price structure and a potential area of dynamic support and resistance. Alongside this cloud, adaptive upper and lower bands are plotted using volatility that scales with percentile rank. When price closes above or below these bands, the script interprets that as a breakout and updates the trend bias accordingly.
Candle coloring is persistent and reflects the most recent confirmed signal. Labels can optionally be placed on the chart when the trend bias flips, giving traders additional visual reference points. The indicator is designed to be both flexible and visually compact, supporting different strategies and timeframes through its detailed configuration options.
Originality
This script introduces originality through its combined use of percentile-ranked volatility, adaptive envelope sizing, and multi-source cloud construction. Unlike static-band indicators, the Volatility Weighted Cloud adjusts its band width based on where current volatility ranks within a defined lookback range. This dynamic scaling allows for smoother signal behavior during low-volatility environments and more responsive behavior during high-volatility phases.
Additionally, instead of using a single basis line, the indicator computes two separate smoothed lines for open and close. These are rendered into a shaded visual cloud that reflects price structure more completely than traditional moving average overlays. The use of ALMA and MAD, both less commonly applied in volatility-band overlays, adds further control over smoothing behavior and volatility measurement, enhancing its adaptability across different market types.
Inputs
Group: Core
Basis Length (short-term): The number of bars used for calculating the primary basis line. Affects how quickly the basis responds to price changes.
Basis Type: Option to choose between EMA and ALMA. EMA provides a standard exponential average; ALMA offers a centered, Gaussian-weighted average with reduced lag.
ALMA Offset: Determines the balance point of the ALMA window. Only applies when ALMA is selected.
Sigma: Sets the width of the ALMA smoothing window, influencing how much smoothing is applied.
Basis Smoothing EMA: Adds additional EMA-based smoothing to the computed basis line for noise reduction.
Group: Volatility & Bands
Volatility: Choose between StDev (standard deviation) and MAD (median absolute deviation) for measuring price volatility.
Vol Length (short-term): Length of the window used for calculating volatility.
Vol Smoothing EMA: Smooths the raw volatility value to stabilize band behavior.
Min Multiplier: Minimum multiplier applied to volatility when forming the adaptive bands.
Max Multiplier: Maximum multiplier applied at high volatility percentile.
Volatility Rank Lookback: Number of bars used to calculate the percentile rank of current volatility.
Show Adaptive Bands: Enables or disables the display of upper and lower volatility bands on the chart.
Group: Trend Switch Labels
Show Trend Switch Labels: Toggles the appearance of labels when the trend direction changes.
Label Anchor: Defines whether the labels are anchored to recent highs/lows or to the main basis line.
ATR Length (offset): Length used for calculating ATR, which determines label offset distance.
ATR Offset (multiplier): Multiplies the ATR value to place labels away from price bars for better visibility.
Label Size: Allows selection of label size (tiny to huge) to suit different chart setups.
Features
Adaptive Volatility Bands: The indicator calculates volatility using either standard deviation or MAD. It then applies an EMA smoothing layer and scales the band width dynamically based on the percentile rank of volatility over a user-defined lookback window. This avoids fixed-width bands and allows the indicator to adapt to changing volatility regimes in real time.
Volatility Method Options: Users can switch between two volatility measurement methods:
➤ Standard Deviation (StDev): Captures overall price dispersion, but may be sensitive to spikes.
➤ Median Absolute Deviation (MAD): A more robust measure that reduces the effect of outliers, making the bands less jumpy during erratic price behavior.
Basis Type Options: The core price basis used for cloud and bands can be built from:
➤ Exponential Moving Average (EMA): Fast-reacting and widely used in trend systems.
➤ Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA): A smoother, more centered alternative that offers greater control through offset and sigma parameters.
Multi-Line Basis Cloud: The cloud is formed by plotting two individually smoothed basis lines from open and close prices. A filled area is created between the open and close basis lines. This cloud serves as a dynamic support or resistance zone, allowing users to identify possible reversal areas. Price moving through or rejecting from the cloud can be interpreted contextually, especially when combined with band-based signals.
Persistent Trend Bias Coloring: The indicator uses the last confirmed breakout (above upper band or below lower band) to determine bias. This bias is reflected in the color of every subsequent candle, offering a persistent visual cue until a new signal is triggered. It helps simplify trend recognition, especially in choppy or sideways markets.
Trend Switch Labels: When enabled, the script places labeled markers at the exact bar where the bias direction switches. Labels are anchored either to recent highs/lows or to the main basis line, and spaced vertically using an ATR-based offset. This allows the trader to quickly locate historical trend transitions.
Alert Conditions: Two built-in alert conditions are available:
➤ Long Signal: Triggered when the close crosses above the upper adaptive band.
➤ Short Signal: Triggered when the close crosses below the lower adaptive band.
These conditions can be used for custom alerts, automation, or external signaling tools.
Display Control and Flexibility: Users can disable the adaptive bands for a cleaner layout while keeping the basis cloud and candle coloring active. The indicator can be tuned for fast or slow response depending on the strategy in use, and is suitable for intraday, swing, or position trading.
Summary
The Volatility Weighted Cloud is a configurable trend-following overlay that uses adaptive volatility bands and a structured cloud system to help visualize market bias. By combining EMA or ALMA smoothing with percentile-ranked volatility and a four-line price structure, it provides a flexible and informative charting layer. Its key strengths lie in the use of dynamic envelopes, visually persistent trend indication, and clearly defined breakout zones that adapt to current volatility conditions.

Anchorman - EMA Channel + EMA + MTF Status Table PRICE BREAKOUTUses a high/low EMA Channel to tell you when strong price breakouts are happening plus comes with a EMA to help follow the trend if you like. I designed it so it can alert you when a single TF touch happens or a breakout alignment on MTF happens (I recommend this) its up to you also its single alert so no need to do bullish or bearish signals just one signal will alert you when a breakout happens in EITHER direction.
HTF HV Lines + Exceptional + Nearest Breakout (core only)Non-repainting breakout tool that maps high-volume (HV) levels from a higher timeframe (Daily by default) onto any intraday chart. It detects new HV bars only when the higher-timeframe candle closes, then draws persistent horizontal lines at that bar’s high and low. Optionally color “exceptional” volume events. On the trading timeframe, the script watches the nearest HV line and flags breakouts using OHLC quality checks: ATR-scaled close distance, minimum real body, and small opposite wick. Inputs let you cap stored events, tune strictness, ignore stale lines, and manage visual style easily.
Day Zero Fakeout Detector MTFDay Zero Template (Stacey Burke)
Definition:
“Day Zero” is essentially the setup day in Stacey Burke’s playbook.
It’s the day when the market creates a significant inflection — often forming a Peak Formation High (PFH) or Peak Formation Low (PFL).
It usually occurs after 3 days of directional movement (the classic 3-day cycle Stacey teaches).
Example:
Day 1: Breakout expansion.
Day 2: Continuation or consolidation.
Day 3: Exhaustion + reversal (forms PFH/PFL).
Day Zero: The day after this reversal template begins — where traders start looking for measured moves back inside the range.
👉 Day Zero = the transition day where the new weekly cycle (up or down) begins.
2️⃣ Peak Formation Highs (PFH) and Lows (PFL)
A PFH occurs when the market fails above prior highs (often with stop hunts/fakeouts).
A PFL occurs when the market fails below prior lows.
These PFHs/PFLs mark the anchor points for the next 3-day cycle.
Once identified, they become reference levels:
Above PFH → fade long traps (short bias).
Below PFL → fade short traps (long bias).
👉 This is where rectangles (Peter Brandt style) can come in handy to box in the PFH/PFL area.
3️⃣ Peter L. Brandt – Rectangles & Classical Charting
Peter Brandt’s approach (classical charting) complements Stacey’s playbook:
Rectangles are consolidation zones (value areas).
When a PFH or PFL forms, price often consolidates in a rectangle range.
A breakout from that rectangle confirms direction (continuation or reversal).
The measured move target is typically the height of the rectangle projected from the breakout point.
👉 Applied to Day Zero:
PFH/PFL = the extreme boundary of the rectangle.
A breakout from the rectangle in the opposite direction = confirmation of Day Zero reversal.
4️⃣ How They Fit Together
Stacey Burke: Focus on intraday cycles, 3-day cycle, Day Zero as the reset after PFH/PFL.
Peter Brandt: Focus on classical rectangle consolidation and breakout targets.
Integration:
Day Zero = when you’ve spotted a PFH or PFL and are preparing for the new cycle to begin.
Mark the PFH/PFL → draw a rectangle around the consolidation.
Wait for breakout/acceptance beyond rectangle → trade toward measured move (often aligning with Stacey’s Day 1/Day 2 directional bias).
✅ Example in practice:
Monday & Tuesday rally → Wednesday exhaustion → PFH forms.
Thursday = Day Zero (new short bias starting).
Rectangle consolidation forms under PFH.
Breakout below rectangle = signal.
Target = rectangle height measured down → often aligns with yesterday’s lows or prior session value area.
Volumetric Support and Resistance [BackQuant]Volumetric Support and Resistance
What this is
This Overlay locates price levels where both structure and participation have been meaningful. It combines classical swing points with a volume filter, then manages those levels on the chart as price evolves. Each level carries:
• A reference price (support or resistance)
• An estimate of the volume that traded around that price
• A touch counter that updates when price retests it
• A visual box whose thickness is scaled by volatility
The result is a concise map of candidate support and resistance that is informed by both price location and how much trading occurred there.
How levels are built
Find structural pivots uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow with a user set sensitivity. Larger sensitivity looks for broader swings. Smaller sensitivity captures tighter turns.
Require meaningful volume computes an average volume over a lookback period and forms a volume ratio for the current bar. A pivot only becomes a level when the ratio is at least the volume significance multiplier.
Avoid clustering checks a minimum level distance (as a percent of price). If a candidate is too close to an existing level, it is skipped to keep the map readable.
Attach a volume strength to the level estimates volume strength by averaging the volume of recent bars whose high to low range spans that price. Levels with unusually high strength are flagged as high volume.
Store and draw levels are kept in an array with fields for price, type, volume, touches, creation bar, and a box handle. On the last bar, each level is drawn as a horizontal box centered at the price with a vertical thickness scaled by ATR. Borders are thicker when the level is marked high volume. Boxes can extend into the future.
How levels evolve over time
• Aging and pruning : levels are removed if they are too old relative to the lookback or if you exceed the maximum active levels.
• Break detection : a level can be removed when price closes through it by more than a break threshold set as a fraction of ATR. Toggle with Remove Broken Levels.
• Touches : when price approaches within the break threshold, the level’s touch counter increments.
Visual encoding
• Boxes : support boxes are green, resistance boxes are red. Box height uses an ATR based thickness so tolerance scales with volatility. Transparency is fixed in this version. Borders are thicker on high volume levels.
• Volume annotation : show the estimated volume inside the box or as a label at the right. If a level has more than one touch, a suffix like “(2x)” is appended.
• Extension : boxes can extend a fixed number of bars into the future and can be set to extend right.
• High volume bar tint : bars with volume above average × multiplier are tinted green if up and red if down.
Inputs at a glance
Core Settings
• Level Detection Sensitivity — pivot window for swing detection
• Volume Significance Multiplier — minimum volume ratio to accept a pivot
• Lookback Period — window for average volume and maintenance rules
Level Management
• Maximum Active Levels — cap on concurrently drawn levels
• Minimum Level Distance (%) — required spacing between level prices
Visual Settings
• Remove Broken Levels — drop a level once price closes decisively through it
• Show Volume Information on Levels — annotate volume and touches
• Extend Levels to Right — carry boxes forward
Enhanced Visual Settings
• Show Volume Text Inside Box — text placement option
• Volume Based Transparency and Volume Based Border Thickness — helper logic provided; current draw block fixes transparency and increases border width on high volume levels
Colors
• Separate colors for support, resistance, and their high volume variants
How it can be used
• Trade planning : use the most recent support and resistance as reference zones for entries, profit taking, or stop placement. ATR scaled thickness provides a practical buffer.
• Context for patterns : combine with breakouts, pullbacks, or candle patterns. A breakout through a high volume resistance carries more informational weight than one through a thin level.
• Prioritization : when multiple levels are nearby, prefer high volume or higher touch counts.
• Regime adaptation : widen sensitivity and increase minimum distance in fast regimes to avoid clutter. Tighten them in calm regimes to capture more granularity.
Why volume support and resistance is used in trading
Support and resistance relate to willingness to transact at certain prices. Volume measures participation. When many contracts change hands near a price:
• More market players hold inventory there, often creating responsive behavior on retests
• Order flow can concentrate again to defend or to exit
• Breaks can be cleaner as trapped inventory rebalances
Conditioning level detection on above average activity focuses attention on prices that mattered to more participants.
Alerts
• New Support Level Created
• New Resistance Level Created
• Level Touch Alert
• Level Break Alert
Strengths
• Dual filter of structure and participation, reducing trivial swing points
• Self cleaning map that retires old or invalid levels
• Volatility aware presentation using ATR based thickness
• Touch counting for persistence assessment
• Tunable inputs for instrument and timeframe
Limitations and caveats
• Volume strength is an approximation based on bars spanning the price, not true per price volume
• Pivots confirm after the sensitivity window completes, so new levels appear with a delay
• Narrow ranges can still cluster levels unless minimum distance is increased
• Large gaps may jump past levels and immediately trigger break conditions
Practical tuning guide
• If the chart is crowded: increase sensitivity, increase minimum level distance, or reduce maximum active levels
• If useful levels are missed: reduce volume multiplier or sensitivity
• If you want stricter break removal: increase the ATR based break threshold in code
• For instruments with session patterns: tailor the lookback period to a representative window
Interpreting touches and breaks
• First touch after creation is a validation test
• Multiple shallow touches suggest absorption; a later break may then travel farther
• Breaks on high current volume merit extra attention
Multi timeframe usage
Levels are computed on the active chart timeframe. A common workflow is to keep a higher timeframe instance for structure and a lower timeframe instance for execution. Align trades with higher timeframe levels where possible.
Final Thoughts
This indicator builds a lightweight, self updating map of support and resistance grounded in swings and participation. It is not a full market profile, but it captures much of the practical benefit with modest complexity. Treat levels as context and decision zones, not guarantees. Combine with your entry logic and risk controls.
Lowest Low Breakout Signal w/ Target
### **Script Description**
This TradingView Pine Script indicator identifies breakout entry opportunities after a new **lowest low** is formed within a user-defined lookback period. It is designed for traders who want to catch reversals or breakouts from extreme lows with clearly defined targets.
**Key Features:**
* **Lowest Low Detection**: The script monitors price action for a candle that forms a new lowest low within the specified lookback period.
* **Breakout Entry Signal**: Once a breakout occurs (price closes above the high of the lowest-low candle), an **up arrow** is plotted below the entry bar.
* **Target Calculation**: Calculates **Target 1** as 50% retracement of the distance between the latest swing high and the lowest low.
* **Dynamic Table Display**: Shows real-time **Entry Price** and **Target 1** values in a table fixed on the chart (top-right corner), updating with each signal.
* **Alerts**: Sends alerts when a breakout entry signal occurs, making it easy to automate notifications.
* **Clean Visualization**: Removes clutter by eliminating extra labels and lines, using only a simple arrow and table for clarity.
**Use Case:**
Ideal for breakout traders, swing traders, and those who follow retracement-based profit targets. The indicator helps identify early entries after significant lows and provides a clear first target level.
Smart Money Breakout Moving Strength [GILDEX]🟠OVERVIEW
This script draws breakout detection zones called “Smart Money Breakout Channels” based on volatility-normalized price movement and visualizes them as dynamic boxes with volume overlays. It identifies temporary accumulation or distribution ranges using a custom normalized volatility metric and tracks when price breaks out of those zones—either upward or downward. Each channel represents a structured range where smart money may be active, helping traders anticipate key breakouts with added context from volume delta, up/down volume, and a visual gradient gauge for momentum bias.
🟠CONCEPTS
The script calculates normalized price volatility by measuring the standard deviation of price mapped to a scale using the highest and lowest prices over a set lookback period. When normalized volatility reaches a local low and flips upward, a boxed channel is drawn between the highest and lowest prices in that zone. These boxes persist until price breaks out, either with a strong candle close (configurable) or by touching the boundary. Volume analysis enhances interpretation by rendering delta bars inside the box, showing volume distribution during the channel. Additionally, a real-time visual “gauge” shows where volume delta sits within the channel range, helping users spot pressure imbalances.
