Open Range Breakout Strategy With Multi TakeProfitHello everyone,
For a while, I’ve been wanting to develop new scripts, but I couldn’t decide what to create. Eventually, I came up with the idea of coding traditional and well-known trading strategies—while adding modern features such as multi–take profit options. For the first strategy in this series, I chose the Open Range Strategy .
For those unfamiliar with it, the Open Range Strategy is a trading approach where you define a specific time period at the beginning of a trading session—such as the first 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour—and mark the highest and lowest prices within that range. These levels then act as reference points for potential breakouts: if the price breaks above the range, it may signal a long entry; if it breaks below, it may indicate a short entry. This method is popular among day traders for capturing early momentum in the market.
Since this strategy is generally used as an intraday strategy , I added a Trade Session feature. This allows you to define the exact time window during which trades can be opened. Once the session ends, all positions are automatically closed, ensuring trades remain within your chosen intraday period.
Even though it’s a relatively simple concept, I’ve come across many different variations of it. That’s why I created a highly customizable project. Under the Session Settings, you can select the time window you want to define as your range. Whether it’s the first 15-minute candle or the entire first hour, the choice is entirely yours.
For stop-loss placement, there are two different options:
Middle of the Range – The stop loss is placed at the midpoint between the high and low of the defined range, offering a balanced buffer for both bullish and bearish setups.
Top/Bottom of the Range – The stop loss is placed just beyond the range’s high for short trades or just below the range’s low for long trades, providing a more conservative risk approach.
I’ve always been a big fan of the multi take-profit feature, so I added two different take-profit targets to this project. Take profits are calculated based on a Risk-to-Reward Ratio, which you can adjust in the settings. You can also set different position sizes for each target, allowing you to scale out of trades in a way that suits your strategy.
The result is a flexible, user-friendly strategy script that brings together a classic approach with modern risk management tools—ready to be tailored to your trading style

CTA-min D1 — Donchian 55/20 Trend Breakout (ATR Risk)What it is
A clean, daily trend-following breakout inspired by classic CTA/Turtle logic. It buys strength and sells weakness, then lets winners run with a channel-based trailing stop. No curve-fitting, no clutter—just rules.
How it trades
Timeframe: Daily (D1)
Entry: Close breaks the previous 55-bar Donchian channel (above for longs, below for shorts).
Exit/Trail: Trailing stop at the 20-bar Donchian channel on the opposite side (no fixed TP).
Risk: Initial stop = ATR(N) × stopMult (ATR is smoothed). Position size risks riskPct% of equity based on stop distance.
Labels: “BUY/SELL” only on the entry bar; “STOP BUY/STOP SELL” only on the exit bar.
Pyramiding: Off (one position at a time).
Regime Alignment with EMAs (recommended filter, not enforced by code)
Add EMA 50 and EMA 200 to the D1 chart.
Long bias: take BUY signals only when EMA50 > EMA200 (bullish regime).
Short bias: take SELL signals only when EMA50 < EMA200 (bearish regime).
Optional: for extra selectivity, require the H4 EMAs (50/200) to align with D1 before acting on a signal.
Inputs
entryN (55), exitN (20), atrLen (20), atrSmooth (10), stopMult (2.0), riskPct (0.5%–1.0% recommended).
Works well on (tested by user)
BTCUSD (Bitcoin), EURUSD, GBPJPY, NAS100/US100, USDJPY, AUDUSD, XAGUSD (Silver), US30 (Dow), JP225 (Nikkei), EURGBP, NZDUSD, EURCHF, USDCHF.
How to use
Apply to D1 charts. Review once per day after the daily close and execute next session open to mirror backtest assumptions. Best used as a portfolio strategy across multiple uncorrelated markets. Use the EMA alignment above as a discretionary regime filter to reduce false breakouts.
Notes
For educational use. Markets involve risk; past performance does not guarantee future results. Use responsible position sizing.
SMI Base-Trigger Bullish Re-acceleration (Higher High)Description
What it does
This indicator highlights a two-step bullish pattern using Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) plus an ATR distance filter:
1. Base (orange) – Marks a momentum “reset.” A base prints when SMI %K crosses up through %D while %K is below the Base level (default -70). The base stores the base price and starts a waiting window.
2. Trigger (green) – Confirms momentum and price strength. A trigger prints only if, before the timeout window ends:
• SMI %K crosses up through %D again,
• %K is above the Trigger level (default -60),
• Close > Base Price, and
• Price has advanced at least Min ATR multiple (default 1.0× the 14-period ATR) above the base price.
A dashed green line connects the base to the trigger.
Why it’s useful
It seeks a bullish divergence / reacceleration: momentum recovers from deeply negative territory, then price reclaims and exceeds the base by a volatility-aware margin. This helps filter out weak “oversold bounces.”
Signals
• Base ▲ (orange): Potential setup begins.
• Trigger ▲ (green): Confirmation—momentum and price agree.
Inputs (key ones)
• %K Length / EMA Smoothing / %D Length: SMI construction.
• Base when %K < (default -70): depth required for a valid reset.
• Trigger when %K > (default -60): strength required on confirmation.
• Base timeout (days) (default 100): maximum look-ahead window.
• ATR Length (default 14) and Min ATR multiple (default 1.0): price must exceed the base by this ATR-scaled distance.
How traders use it (example rules)
• Entry: On the Trigger.
• Risk: A common approach is a stop somewhere between the base price and a multiple of ATR below trigger; or use your system’s volatility stop.
• Exits: Your choice—trend MA cross, fixed R multiple, or structure-based levels.
Notes & tips
• Works best on liquid symbols and mid-to-higher timeframes (reduce noise).
• Increase Min ATR multiple to demand stronger price confirmation; tighten or widen Base/Trigger levels to fit your market.
• This script plots signals only; convert to a strategy to backtest entries/exits.
Canuck Trading Traders Strategy [Candle Entropy Edition]Canuck Trading Traders Strategy: A Unique Entropy-Based Day Trading System for Volatile Stocks
Overview
The Canuck Trading Traders Strategy is a custom, entropy-driven day trading system designed for high-volatility stocks like TSLA on short timeframes (e.g., 15m). At its core is CETP-Plus, a proprietary blended indicator that measures "order from chaos" in candle patterns using Shannon entropy, while embedding mathematical principles from EMA (recent weighting), RSI (momentum bias), ATR (volatility scaling), and ADX (trend strength) into a single score. This unique approach avoids layering multiple indicators, reducing complexity while improving timing for early trend detection and balanced long/short trades.
CETP-Plus calculates a score from weighted candle ratios (body, upper/lower wicks) binned into a 3D histogram for entropy (low entropy = strong pattern). The score is adjusted with momentum, volatility, and trend multipliers for robust signals. Entries occur when the score exceeds thresholds (positive for longs, negative for shorts), with exits on reversals or stops. The strategy is automatic—no manual bias needed—and optimized for margin accounts with equal long/short treatment.
Backtested on TSLA 15m (Jan 2015–Aug 2025), it targets +50,000% net profit (beating +1,478% buy-hold by 34x) with ~25,000 trades, 85-90% win rate, and <10% drawdown (with costs). Results vary by timeframe/period—test with your data and add slippage/commission for realism. Disclaimer: Past performance isn't indicative of future results; consult a financial advisor.
Key Features
CETP-Plus Indicator: Blends entropy with momentum/vol/trend for a single score, capturing bottoms/squeezes and trends without external tools.
Automatic Balance: Positive scores trigger longs in bull trends, negative scores trigger shorts in bear trends—no user input for direction.
Customizable Math: Tune weights and scales to adapt for different stocks (e.g., lower thresholds for NVDA's smoother trends).
Risk Controls: Stop-loss, trailing stops, and score strength filter to minimize drawdowns in volatile markets like TSLA.
Exit Debugging: Plots exit reasons ("Stop Loss", "Trail Stop", "CETP Exit") for analysis.

Trend Strength Index [Alpha Extract]The Trend Strength Index leverages Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) and Average True Range (ATR) to quantify trend intensity in cryptocurrency markets, particularly Bitcoin. The combination of VWMA and ATR is particularly powerful because VWMA provides a more accurate representation of the market's true average price by weighting periods of higher trading volume more heavily—capturing genuine momentum driven by increased participation rather than treating all price action equally, which is crucial in volatile assets like Bitcoin where volume spikes often signal institutional interest or market shifts.
Meanwhile, ATR normalizes this measurement for volatility, ensuring that trend strength readings remain comparable across different market conditions; without ATR's adjustment, raw price deviations from the mean could appear artificially inflated during high-volatility periods (like during news events or liquidations) or understated in low-volatility sideways markets, leading to misleading signals. Together, they create a volatility-adjusted, volume-sensitive metric that reliably distinguishes between meaningful trend developments and noise.
This indicator measures the normalized distance between price and its volume-weighted mean, providing a clear visualization of trend strength while accounting for market volatility. It helps traders identify periods of strong directional movement versus consolidation, with color-coded gradients for intuitive interpretation.
🔶 CALCULATION
The indicator processes price data through these analytical stages:
Volume Weighted Moving Average: Computes a smoothed average weighted by trading volume
Volatility Normalization: Uses ATR to account for market volatility
Distance Measurement: Calculates absolute deviation between current price and VWMA
Strength Normalization: Divides price deviation by ATR for a volatility-adjusted metric
Formula:
VWMA = Volume-Weighted Moving Average of Close over specified length
ATR = Average True Range over specified length
Price Distance = |Close - VWMA|
Trend Strength = Price Distance / ATR
🔶 DETAILS Visual Features:
VWMA Line: Blue line overlay on the price chart representing the volume-weighted mean
Trend Strength Area: Histogram-style area plot with dynamic color gradient (red for weak trends, transitioning through orange and yellow to green for strong trends)
Threshold Line: Horizontal red line at the customizable Trend Enter level
Background Highlight: Subtle green background when trend strength exceeds the enter threshold for strong trend visualization
Alert System: Triggers notifications for strong trend detection
Interpretation:
0-Weak (Red): Minimal trend strength, potential consolidation or ranging market
Mid-Range (Orange/Yellow): Building momentum, watch for breakout potential
At/Above Enter Threshold (Green): Strong trend conditions, potential for continued directional moves
Threshold Crossing: Trend strength crossing above the enter level signals increasing conviction in the current direction
Color Transitions: Gradual shifts from warm (red/orange) to cool (green) tones indicate strengthening trends
🔶 EXAMPLES
Strong Trend Entry: When trend strength crosses above the enter threshold (e.g., 1.2), it identifies the onset of a powerful move where price deviates significantly from the mean.
Example: During a rally, trend strength rising from yellow (around 1.0) to green (1.2+) often precedes sustained upward momentum, providing entry opportunities for trend followers.
Consolidation Detection: Low trend strength values in red shades (below 0.5) highlight periods of low volatility and mean reversion potential.
Example: After a sharp sell-off, persistent red values signal a likely sideways phase, allowing traders to avoid whipsaws and wait for orange/yellow transitions as a precursor to recovery.
Volatility-Adjusted Pullbacks: In volatile markets, the ATR component ensures trend strength remains accurate; a dip back to yellow from green during minor corrections can indicate healthy pullbacks within a strong trend.
Example: Trend strength briefly falling to yellow levels (e.g., 0.8-1.1) after hitting green provides profit-taking signals without invalidating the overall bullish bias if the VWMA holds as support.
Threshold Alert Integration: The alert condition combines strength value with the enter threshold for timely notifications.
Example: Receiving a "Strong Trend Detected" alert when the area plot turns green helps confirm Bitcoin's breakout from consolidation, aligning with increased volume for higher-probability trades.
🔶 SETTINGS
Customization Options:
Lengths: VWMA length (default 14), ATR length (default 14)
Thresholds: Trend enter (default 1.2, step 0.1), trend exit (default 1.15, for potential future signal enhancements)
Visuals: Automatic color scaling with red at 0, transitioning to green at/above enter threshold
Alert Conditions: Strong trend detection (when strength > enter)
The Trend Strength Index equips traders with a robust, easy-to-interpret tool for gauging trend intensity in volatile markets like Bitcoin. By normalizing price deviations against volatility, it delivers reliable signals for identifying high-momentum opportunities while the gradient coloring and alerts facilitate quick assessments in both trending and choppy conditions.

Key Session LevelsKey Session Levels - Indicator Guide
Created by: MecarderoAurum
Why This Indicator Exists: An Overview
The "Key Session Levels" indicator is a comprehensive tool for day traders that automatically plots the most critical price levels from the current premarket and the previous two full trading days. These levels are watched by countless traders and often act as significant areas of support and resistance.
This indicator provides a clear, objective map of these key zones, helping traders anticipate potential turning points, identify areas of confluence, and make more informed trading decisions without having to manually draw and manage these lines every day.
Features & How to Use Them
This indicator plots several types of important historical levels on your chart. Each one is fully customizable.
1. Premarket Levels (PMH / PML)
What they are: The highest (PMH) and lowest (PML) prices reached during the current day's premarket session (04:00 - 09:30 ET).
Why they matter: The premarket high and low are the first significant levels established for the trading day. They often act as initial support or resistance once the market opens.
How to use them: In the settings under "Premarket Levels," you can toggle the visibility of the PMH and PML, and customize their color, line style, and width.
2. Prior Day Levels (PDH / PDL / PDM / PDP)
What they are: The key price points from the previous full trading day.
PDH: Prior Day High
PDL: Prior Day Low
PDM: Prior Day Midpoint (the exact middle of the PDH and PDL)
PDP: Prior Day Pivot (a classic pivot point calculation)
Why they matter: These are often the most important levels for the current trading day. The market frequently tests the previous day's high and low.
How to use them: Under the "Prior Day" settings, you can enable or disable each of these four levels and customize their appearance.
3. 2-Day Prior Levels (PDH2 / PDL2 / etc.)
What they are: The same set of key levels (High, Low, Mid, Pivot) from two trading days ago.
Why they matter: These levels can still be highly relevant, especially if the market is trading within a multi-day range or returning to test a significant prior level.
How to use them: Under the "2-Day Prior" settings, you can customize the visibility and style of these levels. They are styled with more transparency by default to distinguish them from the more recent prior day's levels.
4. General Settings
Days of History: This setting allows you to control how many past days of historical lines are kept on your chart. This is excellent for back-testing strategies and seeing how price has reacted to these levels in the past.
Label Settings: You can customize the color and size of the on-chart labels (e.g., "PDH," "PML") for better visibility.
Sample Strategy: The Key Level Rejection
This strategy focuses on using the indicator's levels to identify potential reversals at key areas of support or resistance.
Identify a Key Level: Watch as the price approaches a significant level plotted by the indicator, such as the Prior Day High (PDH) or the Premarket Low (PML).
Look for Rejection: Do not trade simply because the price touches the level. Wait for a price action signal that confirms the level is holding. This could be a bearish engulfing candle or a shooting star pattern at a resistance level like PDH, or a bullish hammer or morning star pattern at a support level like PML.
Entry: Once you see a clear rejection candle, enter a trade in the direction of the rejection. For a bearish rejection at the PDH, you would enter a short position.
Stop-Loss: A logical place for a stop-loss is just above the high of the rejection candle (for a short trade) or just below the low of the rejection candle (for a long trade). This defines your risk clearly.
Profit Target: Your first profit target could be the next key level plotted by the indicator. For example, if you shorted a rejection at the PDH, your first target might be the Premarket High (PMH) or the day's opening price.
Zone Shift [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
Zone Shift is a dynamic trend detection tool that uses EMA/HMA-based bands to determine trend shifts and plot key reaction levels. It highlights trend direction through colored candles and marks important retests with visual cues to help traders stay aligned with momentum.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Dynamic EMA-HMA Band:
Creates a three-line channel using the average of an EMA and HMA for the midline, and expands it using average candle range to form upper and lower bounds. This band visually adapts to market volatility.
float ema = ta.ema(close, length)
float hma = ta.hma(close, length-40)
float dist = ta.sma(high-low, 200)
float mid = math.avg(ema, hma)
float top = mid + dist
float bot = mid - dist
Trend Detection (Band Cross Logic):
Detects an uptrend when the Low crosses above the top band.
Detects a downtrend when the High crosses below the bottom band.
Bars change color to lime for uptrends and blue for downtrends.
Trend Initiation Level:
At the start of a new trend, the indicator locks in the extreme point (low for uptrend, high for downtrend) and plots a dashed horizontal level, serving as a potential retest zone.
Trend Retest Signal:
If price crosses back over the Trend Initiation level in the direction of the trend, a diamond label (⯁) is plotted at the retest point — confirming that price is revisiting a key shift level.
Visual Band Layout:
Midline: Dashed line shows the average of EMA and HMA.
Top/Bottom: Solid lines showing dynamic thresholds above/below the midline.
These help visualize compression, expansion, and possible breakout zones.
Color-Based Candle Plotting:
Candles are recolored in real time according to the current trend, allowing instant visual alignment with the market’s directional bias.
Noise-Filtered Retests:
To avoid repetitive signals, retests are only marked if they occur more than 5 bars after the previous one — filtering out minor fluctuations.
⯁ USAGE
Use colored candles to align trades with the dominant trend.
Treat dashed trendStart levels as important support/resistance zones.
Watch for ⯁ diamond labels as confirmation of retests for continuation or entry.
Use band boundaries to assess trend strength and volatility expansion.
Combine with your existing setups to validate momentum and zone shifts.
⯁ CONCLUSION
Zone Shift helps traders visually capture trend changes and key reaction points with precision. By combining band breakouts with real-time retest signals and trend-colored candles, this tool simplifies the process of reading market structure shifts and identifying high-confluence entry areas.

Momentum Candle V2 by Sekolah Trading📌 Momentum Candle V2 by Sekolah Trading – Pair-Based Volatility & Wick Ratio Filter
This script provides a structured and adaptive approach to detecting high-probability momentum candles in intraday markets. It dynamically adjusts pip thresholds and wick filtering conditions based on the selected symbol and timeframe, making it highly practical for real-time trading.
🔍 Concept and Originality
Momentum Candle V2 by Sekolah Trading implements a custom-built methodology combining:
Dynamic Pip Calibration
For each supported instrument (e.g., XAUUSD, USDJPY, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, EURUSD, BTCUSD), the user can define a pip threshold that determines the minimum valid body size for momentum candles. These thresholds are tailored for each pair and timeframe (M5, M15, H1), ensuring the logic adjusts to different volatility profiles.
Wick-to-Body Ratio Filtering
The script filters out candles with large wicks by requiring that total wick length (upper + lower) be no more than 30% of the full candle range. This helps identify decisive candles with minimal rejection.
Directional Validation
Bullish momentum is defined as: Close > Open with a shorter upper wick.
Bearish momentum is: Close < Open with a shorter lower wick.
Real-Time Timing Filter
Alerts are only triggered when the current candle is between 20 and 90 seconds from closing, which reduces noise and encourages confirmation-based entry.
Non-Repainting Logic
All calculations run in real-time with confirmed candles only — no lookahead or future leak.
📊 Visual Output – How to Read the Chart
When the conditions above are met, the script displays triangle markers on the chart:
🔺 Red downward triangle above the candle: valid bearish momentum signal
🔻 Blue upward triangle below the candle: valid bullish momentum signal
These shapes appear on live bars during the final moments of the candle to alert traders to potential confirmed momentum.
🔔 Alert Conditions
Two alert types are provided:
Momentum Bullish: Large bullish candle with small upper wick, during last 20–90s of bar
Momentum Bearish: Large bearish candle with small lower wick, same timing window
Alerts are designed for precision entries at candle close.

Gann Octave 8 - Professional V 1.0Gann Octave 8 Indicator:
Core Concept: This indicator divides the price range between highest high and lowest low into 8 equal parts (octaves), creating support/resistance levels based on W.D. Gann's trading principles.
Key Components:
1. Price Range Calculation:
o Finds highest high and lowest low over a lookback period (default 50 bars)
o Divides this range into 8 equal segments (12.5% each)
2. 8 Octave Levels:
o 0% (Low Support) - Strongest support
o 12.5%, 25%, 37.5% - Minor levels
o 50% (CRITICAL) - Most important level
o 62.5%, 75%, 87.5% - Minor levels
o 100% (High Resistance) - Strongest resistance
3. Gann Angles: Projects trend lines from high/low points at various angles (1x1, 2x1, 1x2, etc.)
4. Visual Features:
o Color-coded levels
o Information table showing current position
o Background highlighting when near critical levels
o Trend analysis (bullish/bearish zones)
Trading Strategy
Entry Signals:
BULLISH TRADES:
• Price crosses above 50% level → Strong buy signal
• Price bounces from 25% or 37.5% levels → Support bounce
• Price in upper zone (above 50%) → Bullish bias
BEARISH TRADES:
• Price crosses below 50% level → Strong sell signal
• Price rejects at 75% or 87.5% levels → Resistance rejection
• Price in lower zone (below 50%) → Bearish bias
Key Trading Rules:
1. 50% Level is Critical: Most important for trend direction
2. Zone Trading:
o Above 50% = Bullish zone (look for longs)
o Below 50% = Bearish zone (look for shorts)
3. Strength Levels:
o Above 75% or below 25% = Strong moves
o Near 100% (high) or 0% (low) = Extreme levels
Risk Management:
• Stop Loss: Place below previous octave level
• Take Profit: Target next octave level
• Position Size: Reduce size near extreme levels (0%, 100%)
Example Trade:
If price breaks above 50% level:
• Entry: Long position
• Stop: Below 37.5% level
• Target: 75% level
• Risk: Monitor for rejection at resistance levels
The indicator works best in trending markets and helps identify high-probability reversal zones.

Low Price RSI CrossoverThis Pine Script indicator is a Multi-Timeframe Low RSI Crossover system that combines three key filtering criteria to identify high-probability buy signals. Here's what it does:
Core Concept
The indicator only generates buy signals when all three conditions are met simultaneously:
Price at Multi-Period Low: Current price must be at or near the lowest point within your selected timeframe (1 week to 5 years, or custom)
RSI Momentum Shift: The smoothed RSI must cross above its signal line (EMA), indicating upward momentum
Below Threshold Entry: Both the RSI and its signal line must be below your threshold level (default 50) when the crossover occurs
Key Features
RSI Smoothing: Uses Hull Moving Average (HMA) to smooth the raw RSI, reducing noise and false signals while maintaining responsiveness.
Flexible Timeframes: Choose from predefined periods (1W, 2W, 3W, 1M, 2M, 3M, 6M, 9M, 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 5Y) or set a custom number of bars.
Visual Feedback:
Plots the smoothed RSI (blue line) and its signal line (red line)
Shows threshold and overbought levels
Highlights signal bars with green background
Displays tiny green triangles at signal points
Real-time status table showing all conditions
Trading Logic
This is essentially a mean-reversion strategy that waits for:
Price to reach significant lows (value zone)
Momentum to start shifting upward (RSI crossover)
Entry from oversold/neutral territory (below 50 RSI)
Why This Works
By requiring price to be at multi-period lows, you avoid buying during downtrends or sideways chop. The RSI crossover confirms that selling pressure is starting to ease, while the threshold filter ensures you're not buying into overbought conditions.
The combination of these filters should significantly reduce false signals compared to using any single indicator alone.
Universal Sentiment Oscillator with Trade RecommendationsUniversal Sentiment Oscillator & Strategy Guide
Summary
This all-in-one indicator is designed to be a comprehensive co-pilot for your trading journey. It moves beyond simple buy/sell signals by analyzing the underlying market sentiment and providing a dynamic, risk-assessed guide of potential trading strategies. Whether you're a novice learning the ropes or an expert seeking confirmation, this tool provides a structured framework for making smarter, more informed decisions in stocks, options, and futures.
How It Works
The core of the indicator is the Sentiment Oscillator, which calculates a score from -5 (Extremely Bearish) to +5 (Extremely Bullish) on every bar. This isn't just a single measurement; it's a weighted aggregate of several key technical conditions:
Trend Analysis: Price position relative to the 20, 50, and 200 EMAs.
Momentum Analysis: The current RSI value.
Hybrid Analysis: The state of the MACD and its signal line.
These factors are intelligently combined and normalized to produce a single, intuitive sentiment score, giving you an at-a-glance understanding of the market's pulse.
Core Features
Dynamic Trade Recommendation Table:
The informational heart of the indicator. This on-chart table provides a list of potential trades perfectly aligned with the current sentiment score.
Risk-Ranked Strategies:
All suggested trades are logically ordered by risk, helping you quickly identify strategies that match your comfort level.
Adjusted Trade Suggestions:
The indicator analyzes sentiment momentum (the score vs. its signal line) to provide proactive, forward-looking trade ideas based on where the market might be heading next.
Customizable Trading Styles:
Tell the indicator if you are a Conservative, Neutral, or Aggressive trader, and the "Adjusted Trade Suggestion" will automatically tailor its recommendations to your personal risk preference.
Context-Aware Futures Mode:
When viewing a futures contract, enable this mode to switch all recommendations from stock/options to futures-specific actions (e.g., "Cautious Long," "Monitor Range").
Predictive Sentiment Cone:
Visualize the potential short-term path of sentiment based on current momentum, helping you anticipate future conditions.
Fully Customizable:
Every parameter—from EMA lengths to trade filters—can be adjusted, allowing you to fine-tune the indicator to your exact specifications.
How to Use This Indicator
This tool is flexible and can be integrated into many trading systems. Here is a powerful, professional approach:
Top-Down Analysis (for Swing or Position Trading):
Establish the Trend: Start on the higher timeframes (Monthly, Weekly, Daily). Use the oscillator's color and score to define the dominant, long-term market sentiment. You only want to look for trades that align with this macro trend.
Refine the Entry: Drop down to the medium timeframes (4-Hour, 1-Hour). Wait for the sentiment on these charts to come into alignment with the higher-timeframe trend. This pullback or consolidation is your "zone of interest."
Pinpoint the Execution: Move to a lower timeframe (e.g., 15-Minute). Use the Adjusted Trade Suggestion and Sentiment Momentum to find a precise entry as momentum begins to shift back in the direction of the primary trend. You can set alerts on the oscillator's zero-line for early warnings of a sentiment shift.
As a Confirmation Tool: If you have an existing trade idea, use the indicator to validate it. Does the sentiment score align with your bullish or bearish thesis? Does the momentum confirm that now is a good time to enter?
As an Idea Generation Tool: Unsure what to trade? Browse different assets and let the indicator's "Primary Trades" and "Adjusted Trade Suggestion" present you with a list of risk-assessed ideas that you can then investigate further.
Disclaimer: This is an analysis tool and should not be considered financial advice. All forms of trading involve substantial risk. You should not trade with money you cannot afford to lose. Always perform your own due diligence and use this indicator as one component of a complete trading plan.
Breakout Confirmation🔍 Indicator Name: Breakout Confirmation (Body + Volume)
📌 Purpose:
This indicator is designed to detect high-probability breakout setups based on price structure and volume strength. It identifies moments when the market breaks through a key support or resistance level, confirmed by two consecutive strong candles with large real bodies and high volume.
⚙️ How It Works
1. Support and Resistance Detection
The indicator uses pivot points to identify potential horizontal support and resistance levels.
A pivot high or pivot low is considered valid if it stands out over a configurable number of candles (default: 50).
Only the most recent valid support and resistance levels are tracked and displayed as horizontal lines on the chart.
2. Breakout Setup
The breakout condition is defined as:
First Candle (Breakout Candle):
Large body (compared to the recent body average)
High volume (compared to the recent volume average)
Must close beyond a resistance or support level:
Close above resistance (bullish breakout)
Close below support (bearish breakout)
Second Candle (Confirmation Candle):
Also must have a large body and high volume
Must continue in the direction of the breakout (i.e., higher close in bullish breakouts, lower close in bearish ones)
3. Signal Plotting
If both candles meet the criteria, the indicator plots:
A green triangle below the candle for bullish breakouts
A red triangle above the candle for bearish breakouts
📈 How to Interpret the Signals
✅ Green triangle below a candle:
Indicates a confirmed bullish breakout.
The price has closed above a recent resistance level with strength.
The trend may continue higher — possible entry for long positions.
🔻 Red triangle above a candle:
Indicates a confirmed bearish breakout.
The price has closed below a recent support level with strength.
Potential signal to enter short or exit long positions.
⚠️ The plotted horizontal lines show the last key support and resistance levels. These are the zones being monitored for breakouts.
📊 How to Use It
Timeframe: Works best on higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily), but can be tested on any chart.
Entry: Consider entries after the second candle confirms the breakout.
Stop Loss:
For longs: Below the breakout candle or the broken resistance
For shorts: Above the breakout candle or broken support
Take Profit:
Based on previous structure, risk:reward ratios, or using trailing stops.
Filter with Trend or Other Indicators (optional):
You can combine this with moving averages, RSI, or market structure for confluence.
🛠️ Customization Parameters
lengthSR: How many candles to look back for identifying support/resistance pivots.
volLength: Length of the moving average for volume and body size comparison.
bodyMultiplier: Multiplier threshold to define a “large” body.
volMultiplier: Multiplier threshold to define “high” volume.
✅ Ideal For:
Price action traders
Breakout traders
Traders who use volume analysis
Anyone looking to automate the detection of breakout + confirmation setups
Momentum Trend Bands (MTB)📌 What Is the Momentum Trend Bands (MTB) Indicator?
The Momentum Trend Bands (MTB) is a custom-built trend detection indicator that blends momentum and volatility into a dynamic, visual system. Its core goal is to help traders identify the beginning and strength of a trend earlier than traditional tools like moving averages, while filtering out market noise.
🧠 What Is It Built On?
The indicator is built on two foundational concepts:
1. Rate of Change (ROC): This measures the speed at which the price is moving. We use a fast and a slow version of ROC and then calculate their difference. This difference gives us a momentum signal — it shows whether the price is gaining upward or downward strength.
2. Standard Deviation (Volatility): This shows how much the price fluctuates. By calculating it over a certain period, we can measure market noise and filter out weak, insignificant moves that might otherwise cause false signals.
Together, momentum shows direction, and volatility shows confidence.
🛠️ How Does It Work?
• The core of the indicator is a smoothed momentum signal, representing the net difference between fast and slow momentum.
• Around this signal, we build upper and lower bands — these are dynamic boundaries that expand or contract based on volatility.
• When the momentum breaks above or below these bands, it signals a strong directional move — suggesting the start or continuation of a trend.
The bands also serve a visual filter:
• If momentum stays within the bands, it implies the market is consolidating or ranging.
• When it exits the bands decisively, it implies strength in that direction.
📈 How to Use It?
1. Trend Entry:
o When the momentum signal rises above the upper band, it suggests a strong bullish trend may be starting.
o When the signal drops below the lower band, it indicates a bearish trend.
2. Stay Out of Chop:
o If the signal moves sideways within the bands, it’s best to avoid trading — the market is likely consolidating or ranging.
3. Visual Confirmation:
o The background color changes with the trend: green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral. This makes it quick to read visually.
4. Signal Arrows:
o Small up or down arrows appear when trends begin, serving as early entry points.
⚙️ What Kind of Market Does It Work Best In?
• Trending Markets: MTB shines in markets with strong directional movement — whether up or down. It's designed to pick up momentum early and hold through trend continuation.
• Volatile Instruments: The built-in volatility filter helps in markets like crypto or commodities where price action is fast and erratic.
• Avoid Flat or Low-Volume Conditions: In sideways markets, MTB may stay gray or flip often — these are not ideal times to trade using this indicator alone.
💎 Why Is It Unique?
Unlike many indicators that react slowly (like moving averages) or trigger too often (like raw momentum), MTB balances early detection with reliability. Its unique combination of:
• ROC difference for directional intent,
• Smoothing for signal clarity,
• Bands scaled by volatility for robustness,
…makes it stand apart from commonly available indicators on platforms like TradingView.
PCA Regime-Adjusted MomentumSummary
The PCA Regime-Adjusted Momentum (PCA-RAM) is an advanced market analysis tool designed to provide nuanced insights into market momentum and structural stability. It moves beyond traditional indicators by using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to deconstruct market data into its most essential patterns.
The indicator provides two key pieces of information:
A smoothed momentum signal based on the market's dominant underlying trend.
A dynamic regime filter that gauges the stability and clarity of the market's structure, advising you when to trust or fade the momentum signals.
This allows traders to not only identify potential shifts in momentum but also to understand the context and confidence behind those signals.
Core Concepts & Methodology
The strength of this indicator lies in its sound, data-driven methodology.
1. Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
At its core, the indicator analyzes a rolling window (default 50 periods) of standardized market data (Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume). PCA is a powerful statistical technique that distills this complex, 5-dimensional data into its fundamental, uncorrelated components of variance. We focus on the First Principal Component (PC1), which represents the single most dominant pattern or "theme" driving the market's behavior in the lookback window.
2. The Momentum Signal
Instead of just looking at price, we project the current market data onto this dominant underlying pattern (PC1). This gives us a raw "projection score" that measures how strongly the current bar aligns with the historically dominant market structure. This raw score is then smoothed using two an exponential moving averages (a fast and a slow line) to create a clear, actionable momentum signal, similar in concept to a MACD.
3. The Dynamic Regime Filter
This is arguably the indicator's most powerful feature. It answers the question: "How clear is the current market picture?"
It calculates the Market Concentration Ratio, which is the percentage of total market variance explained by PC1 alone.
A high ratio indicates that the market is moving in a simple, one-dimensional way (e.g., a clear, strong trend).
A low ratio indicates the market is complex, multi-dimensional, and choppy, with no single dominant theme.
Crucially, this filter is dynamic. It compares the current concentration ratio to its own recent average, allowing it to adapt to any asset or timeframe. It automatically learns what "normal" and "choppy" look like for the specific chart you are viewing.
How to Interpret the Indicator
The indicator is displayed in a separate pane with two key visual elements:
The Momentum Lines (White & Gold)
White Line: The "Fast Line," representing the current momentum.
Gold Line: The "Slow Line," acting as the trend confirmation.
Bullish Signal: A crossover of the White Line above the Gold Line suggests a shift to positive momentum.
Bearish Signal: A crossover of the White Line below the Gold Line suggests a shift to negative momentum.
The Regime Filter (Purple & Dark Red Background)
This is your confidence gauge.
Navy Blue Background (High Concentration): The market structure is stable, simple, and trending. Momentum signals are more reliable and should be given higher priority.
Dark Red Background (Low Concentration): The market structure is complex, choppy, or directionless. Momentum signals are unreliable and prone to failure or "whipsaws." This is a signal to be cautious, tighten stops, or potentially stay out of the market.
Potential Trading Strategies
This tool is versatile and can be used in several ways:
1. Primary Signal Strategy
Condition: Wait for the background to turn Purple, confirming a stable, high-confidence regime.
Entry: Take the next crossover signal from the momentum lines (White over Gold for long, White under Gold for short).
Exit/Filter: Consider exiting positions or ignoring new signals when the background turns Navy.
2. As a Confirmation or Filter for Your Existing Strategy
Do you have a trend-following system? Only enable its long and short signals when the PCA-RAM background is Purple.
Do you have a range-trading or mean-reversion system? It might be most effective when the PCA-RAM background is Navy, indicating a lack of a clear trend.
3. Advanced Divergence Analysis
Look for classic divergences between price and the momentum lines. For example, if the price is making a new high, but the Gold Line is making a lower high, it may indicate underlying weakness in the trend, even on a Purple background. This divergence signal is more powerful because it shows that the new price high is not being confirmed by the market's dominant underlying pattern.
Three Candle Bullish Engulfing StrategyThe Three Candle Bullish Engulfing Strategy is a versatile, multi-mode trading system designed for TradingView, combining classic candlestick patterns with momentum confirmation and dynamic risk management. This script supports both swing trading and intraday approaches, as well as an optional RSI-based breakout mode for additional signal filtering.
Key Features:
Three Candle Pattern Detection:
The strategy identifies potential trend reversal points using a three-candle pattern:
The first candle is a strong bullish (or bearish) move.
The second candle is a doji or small-bodied candle, indicating indecision.
The third candle is a bullish (or bearish) engulfing candle that closes above (or below) the previous high (or low), confirming the reversal.
Flexible Trading Modes:
Swing Long Only: Enter long trades on bullish three-candle setups.
Intraday Long & Short: Trade both long and short based on bullish and bearish three-candle patterns, with automatic session-end exits.
RSI Breakout Mode: Enter long trades when the 1-hour RSI exceeds a user-defined threshold (default 80) and a bullish candle forms, with breakout confirmation and a fixed-percentage stop loss.
Visual Aids:
Plots the RSI breakout trigger price and stop loss on the chart for easy monitoring.
How It Works:
Three Candle Pattern Entries:
Long Entry: Triggered when a bullish candle is followed by a doji, then a bullish engulfing candle closes above the previous high.
Short Entry (Intraday only): Triggered by the inverse pattern—bearish candle, doji, then bearish engulfing candle closing below the previous low.
RSI Breakout Entries:
When the RSI on a higher timeframe (default 1 hour) exceeds the set threshold and a bullish candle forms, the script records a trigger price.
A long trade is entered if the price breaks above this trigger, with a stop loss set a fixed percentage below.
Exits:
Positions are closed if the trailing stop is hit, the session ends (for intraday mode), or the stop loss is triggered in RSI breakout mode.
In RSI breakout mode, positions are also closed if a new breakout trigger forms while in position.

IPDA with Order Blocks [Enhanced]Summary of the Code
This script plots IPDA Standard Deviations on a price chart, helping traders visualize potential support and resistance levels based on a series of user-defined deviations. It uses swing high/low points and time-based fractal lookbacks (monthly, weekly, daily, or intraday) to define price anchors and compute deviation lines.
Key features include:
Deviations: It calculates and plots deviation levels based on the distance between swing highs and lows, which traders can use as price targets or zones of interest.
Timeframes:
Monthly (higher timeframe analysis)
Weekly (medium-term analysis)
Daily and Intraday (shorter-term precision)
Customization:
Choose which deviation levels (e.g., 0, 1, -1, -2) to display.
Hide labels or adjust their sizes for cleaner charts.
Option to remove invalidated deviation levels dynamically.
Visual Cleanliness: Automatically removes clutter by hiding or deleting invalid deviation levels and focusing on active price zones.
How to Utilize It for Intraday Trading to Make $1,000
Here’s how to effectively use the indicator to optimize intraday trading:
1. Set the Right Timeframe:
Use the 15-minute or 1-hour chart for intraday setups.
Ensure the "Intraday" lookback option is enabled to focus on shorter-term swings.
2. Interpret the Levels:
Bearish Order Blocks: Look for red lines (bearish deviation) as potential resistance zones where the price may reverse downward.
Bullish Order Blocks: Look for green lines (bullish deviation) as potential support zones where the price may bounce upward.
3. Plan Entries and Exits:
Entry: Buy near a green order block or short near a red order block, confirming the trade with additional signals (e.g., candlestick patterns, momentum indicators).
Stop Loss: Place your stop below the green line (for buys) or above the red line (for shorts).
Profit Targets: Use deviation levels as targets (e.g., from the 0 level to +1 or -1).
4. Combine with Market Context:
Use the script alongside volume profile, trend indicators, or news events for confirmation.
Avoid trading during major news events unless aligned with deviations.
5. Position Sizing for $1,000 Goal:
Trade liquid instruments like Nasdaq futures (NQ) or major forex pairs.
Risk 1-2% of your capital on each trade and scale into positions if confirmed.
Target a profit of 10-20 points per trade on Nasdaq futures, with 1-2 trades daily.
6. Monitor Key Timeframes:
Pre-market (before 9:30 AM EST): Mark deviation levels to predict market open behavior.
Midday & Power Hour (3-4 PM EST): Watch for breakouts or retests around key deviation levels.

CYCLE BY RiotWolftradingDescription of the "CYCLE" Indicator
The "CYCLE" indicator is a custom Pine Script v5 script for TradingView that visualizes cyclic patterns in price action, dividing the trading day into specific sessions and 90-minute quarters (Q1-Q4). It is designed to identify and display market phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal) along with key support and resistance levels within those sessions. Additionally, it allows customization of boxes, lines, labels, and colors to suit user preferences.
Main Features
Cycle Phases:
Accumulation (1900-0100): Represents the phase where large operators accumulate positions.
Manipulation (0100-0700): Identifies potential manipulative moves to mislead retail traders.
Distribution (0700-1300): The phase where large operators distribute their positions.
Continuation/Reversal (1300-1900): Indicates whether the price continues the trend or reverses.
90-Minute Quarters (Q1-Q4):
Divides each 6-hour cycle (360 minutes) into four 90-minute quarters (Q1: 00:00-01:30, Q2: 01:30-03:00, Q3: 03:00-04:30, Q4: 04:30-06:00 UTC).
Each quarter is displayed with a colored box (Q1: light purple, Q2: light blue, Q3: light gray, Q4: light pink) and labels (defaulted to black).
Support and Resistance Visualization:
Draws boxes or lines (based on settings) showing the high and low levels of each session.
Optionally displays accumulated volume at the highs and lows within the boxes.
Daily Lines and Last 3 Boxes:
How to Use the Indicator
Step 1: Add the Indicator to TradingView
Open TradingView and select the chart where you want to apply the indicator (e.g., UMG9OOR on a 5-minute timeframe, as shown in the screenshot).
Go to the Pine Editor (at the bottom of the TradingView interface).
Copy and paste the provided code.
Click Compile and then Add to Chart.
Step 2: Configure the Indicator
Click on the indicator name on the chart ("CYCLE") and select Settings (or double-click the name).
Adjust the options based on your needs:
Cycle Phases: Enable/disable phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, Continuation/Reversal) and adjust their time slots if needed.
90-Minute Quarters: Enable/disable quarters (Q1-Q4).
Step 3: Interpret the Indicator
Identify Cycle Phases:
Observe the red boxes indicating the phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, etc.).
The high and low levels within each phase are potential support/resistance zones.
If volume is enabled, pay attention to the accumulated volume at highs and lows, as it may indicate the strength of those levels.
Use the 90-Minute Quarters (Q1-Q4):
The colored boxes (Q1-Q4) divide the day into 90-minute segments.
Each quarter shows the price range (high and low) during that period.
Use these boxes to identify price patterns within each quarter, such as breakouts or consolidations.
The labels (Q1, Q2, etc.) help you track time and anticipate potential moves in the next quarter.
Analyze Support and Resistance:
The high and low levels of each phase/quarter act as support and resistance.
Daily lines (if enabled) show key levels from the previous day, useful for planning entries/exits.
The "last 3 boxes below price" (if enabled) highlight potential support levels the price might target.
Avoid Manipulation:
During the Manipulation phase (0100-0700), be cautious of sharp moves or false breakouts.
Use the high/low levels of this phase to identify potential traps (as explained in your first question about manipulation candles).
Step 4: Trading Strategy
Entries and Exits:
Support/Resistance: Use the high/low levels of phases and quarters to set entry or exit points.
For example, if the price bounces off a Q1 support level, consider a buy.
Breakouts: If the price breaks a high/low of a quarter (e.g., Q2), wait for confirmation to enter in the direction of the breakout.
Volume: If accumulated volume is high near a key level, that level may be more significant.
Risk Management:
Place stop-loss orders below lows (for buys) or above highs (for sells) identified by the indicator.
Avoid trading during the Manipulation phase unless you have a specific strategy to handle false breakouts.
Time Context:
Use the quarters (Q1-Q4) to plan your trades based on time. For example, if Q3 is typically volatile in your market, prepare for larger moves between 03:00-04:30 UTC.
Step 5: Adjustments and Testing
Test on Different Timeframes: The indicator is set for a 5-minute timeframe (as in the screenshot), but you can test it on other timeframes (e.g., 1-minute, 15-minute) by adjusting the time slots if needed.
Adjust Colors and Styles: If the default colors are not visible on your chart, change them for better clarity.

📌 1. **Accumulation: Strong Institutional Activity**
- During the **accumulation phase, we see **high volume: 82.773K, which suggests strong buying interest**, likely from institutional players.
- This sets the base for the following upward move in price.
---
📌 2. **Manipulation: False Breakout with Lower Volume**
- Later, there's a manipulation phase where price breaks above previous highs, but the volume (71.814K) is **lower than during accumulation**.
- This implies that buyers are not as aggressive as before—no real demandbehind the breakout.
- It’s likely a bull trap, where smart money is selling into the breakout to exit their positions.
---
### 📌 3. Distribution: Weakness and Lack of Demand
- The market enters a distribution phase, and volume drops even further (only 7.914K).
- Price struggles to go higher, and you start seeing rejections at the top.
- This shows that demand is drying up, and smart money is offloading positions**—not accumulating anymore.
---
### 💡 Why Take the Short Here?
- Volume is not increasing with new highs—showing weak demand**.
- The manipulation volume is weaker than the accumulation volume, confirming the breakout was likely false.
- Structure starts to break down (Q levels falling), which confirms weakness.
- This creates a high-probability short setup:
- **Entry:** after confirmation of distribution and structural breakdown.
- **Stop loss:** above the manipulation high.
- **Target:** down toward previous lows or value zones.
---
### ✅ Conclusion
Since the manipulation volume failed to exceed the accumulation volume, the breakout lacked real strength. Combined with decreasing volume in the distribution phase, this indicates fading demand and supply taking control—which justifies entering a short position.
