Range Channel by Atilla YurtsevenThis script creates a dynamic channel around a user-selected moving average (MA). It calculates the relative difference between price and the MA, then finds the average of the positive differences and the negative differences separately. Using these averages, it plots upper and lower bands around the MA as well as a histogram-like oscillator to show when price moves above or below the average thresholds.
How It Works
Moving Average Selection
The indicator allows you to choose among multiple MA types (SMA, EMA, WMA, Linear Regression, etc.). Depending on your preference, it calculates the chosen MA for the selected lookback period.
Relative Difference Calculation
It then computes the percentage difference between the source (typically the closing price) and the MA. (diff = (src / ma - 1) * 100)
Positive & Negative Averages
- Positive differences are averaged and represent how far the price typically moves above the MA.
- Negative differences are similarly averaged for when price moves below the MA.
Range Channel & Oscillator
- The channel is plotted around the MA using the average positive and negative differences (Upper Edge and Lower Edge).
- The “Untrended” histogram plots the difference (diff). Green bars occur when price is above the MA on average, and red bars when below. Two additional lines mark the upper and lower average thresholds on this histogram.
How to Use
Identify Overbought/Oversold Zones: The upper edge can serve as a dynamic overbought level, while the lower edge can suggest potential oversold conditions. When the histogram approaches or crosses these levels, it may signal price extremes relative to its average movement.
Trend Confirmation: Compare price action relative to the channel. If price and the histogram consistently remain above the MA and upper threshold, it could indicate a stronger bullish trend. If they remain below, it might signal a prolonged bearish trend.
Entry/Exit Timings:
- Entry: Traders can look for moments when price breaks back inside the channel from an extreme, anticipating a mean reversion.
- Exit: Watching how price interacts with these dynamic edges can help define stop-loss or take-profit points.
Because these thresholds adapt over time based on actual price behavior, they can be more responsive than fixed-percentage bands. However, like all indicators, it’s most effective when used in conjunction with other technical and fundamental tools.

Smart DCA Strategy (Public)INSPIRATION
While Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is a popular and stress-free investment approach, I noticed an opportunity for enhancement. Standard DCA involves buying consistently, regardless of market conditions, which can sometimes mean missing out on optimal investment opportunities. This led me to develop the Smart DCA Strategy – a 'set and forget' method like traditional DCA, but with an intelligent twist to boost its effectiveness.
The goal was to build something more profitable than a standard DCA strategy so it was equally important that this indicator could backtest its own results in an A/B test manner against the regular DCA strategy.
WHY IS IT SMART?
The key to this strategy is its dynamic approach: buying aggressively when the market shows signs of being oversold, and sitting on the sidelines when it's not. This approach aims to optimize entry points, enhancing the potential for better returns while maintaining the simplicity and low stress of DCA.
WHAT THIS STRATEGY IS, AND IS NOT
This is an investment style strategy. It is designed to improve upon the common standard DCA investment strategy. It is therefore NOT a day trading strategy. Feel free to experiment with various timeframes, but it was designed to be used on a daily timeframe and that's how I recommend it to be used.
You may also go months without any buy signals during bull markets, but remember that is exactly the point of the strategy - to keep your buying power on the sidelines until the markets have significantly pulled back. You need to be patient and trust in the historical backtesting you have performed.
HOW IT WORKS
The Smart DCA Strategy leverages a creative approach to using Moving Averages to identify the most opportune moments to buy. A trigger occurs when a daily candle, in its entirety including the high wick, closes below the threshold line or box plotted on the chart. The indicator is designed to facilitate both backtesting and live trading.
HOW TO USE
Settings:
The input parameters for tuning have been intentionally simplified in an effort to prevent users falling into the overfitting trap.
The main control is the Buying strictness scale setting. Setting this to a lower value will provide more buying days (less strict) while higher values mean less buying days (more strict). In my testing I've found level 9 to provide good all round results.
Validation days is a setting to prevent triggering entries until the asset has spent a given number of days (candles) in the overbought state. Increasing this makes entries stricter. I've found 0 to give the best results across most assets.
In the backtest settings you can also configure how much to buy for each day an entry triggers. Blind buy size is the amount you would buy every day in a standard DCA strategy. Smart buy size is the amount you would buy each day a Smart DCA entry is triggered.
You can also experiment with backtesting your strategy over different historical datasets by using the Start date and End date settings. The results table will not calculate for any trades outside what you've set in the date range settings.
Backtesting:
When backtesting you should use the results table on the top right to tune and optimise the results of your strategy. As with all backtests, be careful to avoid overfitting the parameters. It's better to have a setup which works well across many currencies and historical periods than a setup which is excellent on one dataset but bad on most others. This gives a much higher probability that it will be effective when you move to live trading.
The results table provides a clear visual representation as to which strategy, standard or smart, is more profitable for the given dataset. You will notice the columns are dynamically coloured red and green. Their colour changes based on which strategy is more profitable in the A/B style backtest - green wins, red loses. The key metrics to focus on are GOA (Gain on Account) and Avg Cost.
Live Trading:
After you've finished backtesting you can proceed with configuring your alerts for live trading.
But first, you need to estimate the amount you should buy on each Smart DCA entry. We can use the Total invested row in the results table to calculate this. Assuming we're looking to trade on
BTCUSD
Decide how much USD you would spend each day to buy BTC if you were using a standard DCA strategy. Lets say that is $5 per day
Enter that USD amount in the Blind buy size settings box
Check the Blind Buy column in the results table. If we set the backtest date range to the last 10 years, we would expect the amount spent on blind buys over 10 years to be $18,250 given $5 each day
Next we need to tweak the value of the Smart buy size parameter in setting to get it as close as we can to the Total Invested amount for Blind Buy
By following this approach it means we will invest roughly the same amount into our Smart DCA strategy as we would have into a standard DCA strategy over any given time period.
After you have calculated the Smart buy size, you can go ahead and set up alerts on Smart DCA buy triggers.
BOT AUTOMATION
In an effort to maintain the 'set and forget' stress-free benefits of a standard DCA strategy, I have set my personal Smart DCA Strategy up to be automated. The bot runs on AWS and I have a fully functional project for the bot on my GitHub account. Just reach out if you would like me to point you towards it. You can also hook this into any other 3rd party trade automation system of your choice using the pre-configured alerts within the indicator.
PLANNED FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Currently this is purely an accumulation strategy. It does not have any sell signals right now but I have ideas on how I will build upon it to incorporate an algorithm for selling. The strategy should gradually offload profits in bull markets which generates more USD which gives more buying power to rinse and repeat the same process in the next cycle only with a bigger starting capital. Watch this space!
MARKETS
Crypto:
This strategy has been specifically built to work on the crypto markets. It has been developed, backtested and tuned against crypto markets and I personally only run it on crypto markets to accumulate more of the coins I believe in for the long term. In the section below I will provide some backtest results from some of the top crypto assets.
Stocks:
I've found it is generally more profitable than a standard DCA strategy on the majority of stocks, however the results proved to be a lot more impressive on crypto. This is mainly due to the volatility and cycles found in crypto markets. The strategy makes its profits from capitalising on pullbacks in price. Good stocks on the other hand tend to move up and to the right with less significant pullbacks, therefore giving this strategy less opportunity to flourish.
Forex:
As this is an accumulation style investment strategy, I do not recommend that you use it to trade Forex.

Gauti Market Maker Killzone EMA1. Identifying the Trend
Use Daily (1D) and Hourly (1H) Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to define the overall trend:
Bullish Trend: Both 1D and 1H EMAs are upward sloping, and the price is above these EMAs.
Bearish Trend: Both 1D and 1H EMAs are downward sloping, and the price is below these EMAs.
2. Confirmation with Higher Timeframes
Bullish Conditions:
Check 1D and 4H charts for price action above the EMA bands.
Look for price forming higher highs and higher lows or respecting support at the EMA bands.
Bearish Conditions:
Check 1D and 4H charts for price action below the EMA bands.
Look for price forming lower highs and lower lows or respecting resistance at the EMA bands.
Note: Crossover of EMAs on higher timeframes is an optional extra confirmation, but not mandatory for entry.
3. Entry Strategy
Use the 15-Minute (15M) timeframe for entries.
Entries are taken only during Killzones:
Killzones: London Open, New York Open, or other intraday key trading sessions. (Define the time ranges for these zones based on your trading hours.)
Wait for the price to touch or pull back to the EMA band during the Killzones in the direction of the overall trend:
In a bullish trend, enter long when the price touches the EMA band and shows signs of rejection or reversal.
In a bearish trend, enter short when the price touches the EMA band and shows signs of rejection or reversal.
4. Checklist for Entry
Confirm the following before entering:
1D Trend aligns with the 1H Trend.
Price Action in 1D and 4H supports the trend.
Killzone session is active.
Price is reacting to the EMA band on the 15M chart in the trend direction.
Rejection Candle DetectorUsing the Rejection Candle Detector with Order Blocks
Plotting Order Blocks:
Identify Key Levels: Begin by identifying key levels on the chart where large buying or selling activity has taken place. These areas are often referred to as order blocks.
Draw the Blocks: Use horizontal lines or rectangular zones to mark these order blocks on your chart. These levels will act as potential support or resistance areas where price is likely to react.
Setting Up the Rejection Candle Detector:
Apply the Indicator: Add the Rejection Candle Detector to your TradingView chart.
Customize Settings: Adjust the look-back period, label colors, and transparency according to your preferences.
Monitoring Price Action:
Wait for Price to Reach an Order Block: Monitor the chart for when the price approaches one of your predefined order blocks.
Look for Rejection Candles: The Rejection Candle Detector will help you identify rejection candlestick patterns within the look-back period (default is 10 bars).
Entry Decision:
Confirm Rejection: Once the price touches an order block and a rejection candle is detected by the indicator, this could signal a potential entry point. Rejection candles indicate that the price tried to move past the order block but was pushed back, showing strong resistance or support at that level.
Align with Your Analysis: Ensure that the detected rejection candle aligns with your overall trading analysis and strategy. Consider other factors such as trend direction, volume, and market conditions before making an entry.
Managing the Trade:
Set Stop Loss: Place a stop loss just beyond the order block to manage your risk in case the price breaks through the level.
Target Levels: Define your target levels for taking profit based on the next significant support or resistance levels on the chart.
Monitor and Adjust: Continue to monitor the trade and adjust your stop loss or take profit levels as needed based on price action and market conditions.
Example Scenario:
Order Block: You identify an order block at the $50 level on your chart, marking it as a potential support zone.
Price Reaction: Price approaches and tests the $50 level.
Rejection Candle: The Rejection Candle Detector spots a hammer candlestick (a bullish rejection pattern) forming right at the $50 level.
Entry Point: You decide to enter a long trade at the close of the hammer candle, setting your stop loss just below the $50 level.
Trade Management: Set your target at the next resistance level, say $55, and monitor the trade, adjusting as necessary...

Easy CotHow to Use the Commitment of Traders (COT) Report for Market Analysis
The Commitment of Traders (COT) report is a weekly publication by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) that breaks down the open interest in various futures markets. It categorizes traders into three main groups: Commercials, Non-Commercials, and Retail Traders (Non-Reportable positions). Understanding and analyzing the COT report can provide insights into market sentiment and potential reversals, especially in commodity, currency, and stock index futures.
Key Components of the COT Report
Commercials (Hedgers)
These are entities involved in the production or consumption of the underlying asset. For example, oil producers might hedge by selling oil futures to lock in prices, while airlines might buy futures to hedge against rising prices.
Commercials typically act as hedgers, so their positions can indicate the need for protection rather than speculative intent. Because they are less price-sensitive, their positions are usually opposite to the trend near market reversals.
Non-Commercials (Large Speculators)
This group includes hedge funds, asset managers, and large traders who take speculative positions to profit from price movements.
Non-Commercials are often trend-followers, meaning they increase long positions in an uptrend and short positions in a downtrend. When Non-Commercials become extremely bullish or bearish, it may signal a potential market reversal.
Retail Traders (Non-Reportable Positions)
These are smaller individual traders whose positions are too small to be reported individually.
Retail traders tend to be less experienced and are often on the wrong side of major market moves, so extreme positions by retail traders can sometimes signal a market turning point.
How to Interpret the COT Data
1. Identify Extreme Positions
Extreme Long or Short Positions: When a group reaches a historically extreme level of long or short positions, it often signals a potential reversal. For instance, if Non-Commercials are overwhelmingly long, it may indicate that the uptrend is overextended, and a reversal could be near.
Contrarian Indicator: Since Retail Traders are often on the wrong side, you may look for signals where they are extremely long or short, indicating a possible reversal in the opposite direction.
2. Look for Divergences
Divergence Between Groups: If Non-Commercials (speculators) and Retail Traders are moving in opposite directions, it could indicate that a trend is losing momentum and a reversal is possible.
Commercials vs. Non-Commercials: Commercials are often positioned opposite to Non-Commercials. If there’s a divergence where Non-Commercials are highly bullish, but Commercials are increasingly bearish, it might suggest a coming reversal.
3. Trend Confirmation and Reversal Signals
Trend Confirmation: If both Non-Commercials and Retail Traders are aligned in one direction, it might confirm the trend. However, keep in mind that such alignment may signal the later stages of a trend.
Reversal Signals: Look for signs when Non-Commercials are reaching a peak in one direction while Retail Traders peak in the opposite. Such situations can often indicate that the current trend is close to exhaustion.
Using the COT Report in Trading Strategies
Contrarian Trading Strategy
Extreme Positions as Reversal Signals: Use COT data to identify extreme positions. For instance, if Non-Commercials have a very high long position in a commodity, it might suggest that a bullish trend is overextended and a bearish reversal could be near.
Retail Trader Extremes: If Retail Traders are heavily long or short, consider taking the opposite position once you have additional confirmation signals (e.g., technical indicators).
Following the Trend with Large Speculators
Non-Commercials tend to be trend-followers, so if you see them increasingly long (or short) on an asset, it could be a signal to follow the trend until extreme levels are reached.
Using Divergences for Entry and Exit Points
Entry: If Non-Commercials are long, but Retail Traders are heavily short, consider entering a long position as it may confirm the trend.
Exit: If Non-Commercials begin to reduce their positions while Retail Traders increase theirs, it might be time to consider exiting, as the trend could be losing momentum.
VOLUME DIRECTION INDICATORDesigned for the 1-hour chart, this indicator shows:
Green Line: Volume when price rises, suggesting buying.
Red Line: Volume when price falls, indicating selling.
How to Use:
Watch for Crossover: When the Green Line moves above the Red, it might signal a budding uptrend.
Check Retracement: If the Green Line pulls back but stays above the Red, the uptrend could be strengthening.
Price Check: Look for a small price drop but not a reversal.
Trade Entry:
Enter at the high of the retracement candle.
Or wait for the Green Line to rise again.
For Precision: Draw a line at the retracement peak and switch to a shorter timeframe to find entry patterns above this line.
Remember: Use this with other tools for better trading decisions.
The Volume Direction Indicator provides a visual representation of market activity by assuming volume can be attributed to buying or selling based on price action within each bar. When the price closes higher than it opened, the volume for that period is considered as 'Bought Shares', plotted in green. Conversely, if the price closes lower, the volume is treated as 'Sold Shares', shown in red. This indicator resets daily to give a fresh perspective on trading activity each day.
Key Features:
Buying Pressure: Green line represents the cumulative volume during periods where the price increased.
Selling Pressure: Red line indicates the cumulative volume during price decreases.
Daily Reset: Accumulated values reset at the start of each new trading day, focusing on daily market sentiment.
Note: This indicator simplifies market dynamics by linking volume directly to price changes. It does not account for complex trading scenarios like short selling or market manipulations. Use this indicator as a tool to gauge general market direction and activity, not for precise transaction data.
Confluence StrategyOverview of Confluence Strategy
The Confluence Strategy in trading refers to the combination of multiple technical indicators, support/resistance levels, and chart patterns to identify high-probability trading opportunities. The idea is that when several indicators agree on a price movement, the likelihood of that movement being successful increases.
Key Components
Technical Indicators:
Moving Averages (MA): Commonly used to determine the trend direction. Look for crossovers (e.g., the 50-day MA crossing above the 200-day MA).
Relative Strength Index (RSI): Helps identify overbought or oversold conditions. A reading above 70 may indicate overbought conditions, while below 30 suggests oversold.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): Useful for spotting changes in momentum. Look for MACD crossovers and divergence from price.
Support and Resistance Levels:
Identify key levels where price has historically reversed. These can be drawn from previous highs/lows, Fibonacci retracement levels, or psychological price levels.
Chart Patterns:
Patterns like head and shoulders, double tops/bottoms, or flags can indicate potential reversals or continuations in price.
Strategy Implementation
Set Up Your Chart:
Add the desired indicators (e.g., MA, RSI, MACD) to your TradingView chart.
Mark significant support and resistance levels.
Identify Confluence Points:
Look for situations where multiple indicators align. For instance, if the price is near a support level, the RSI is below 30, and the MACD shows bullish divergence, this may signal a buying opportunity.
Entry and Exit Points:
Entry: Place a trade when your confluence conditions are met. Use limit orders for better prices.
Exit: Set profit targets based on resistance levels or use trailing stops. Consider the risk-reward ratio to ensure your trades are favorable.
Risk Management:
Always implement stop-loss orders to protect against unexpected market moves. Position size should reflect your risk tolerance.
Example of a Confluence Trade
Setup:
Price approaches a strong support level.
RSI shows oversold conditions (below 30).
The 50-day MA is about to cross above the 200-day MA (bullish crossover).
Action:
Enter a long position as the conditions align.
Set a stop loss just below the support level and a take profit at the next resistance level.
Conclusion
The Confluence Strategy can significantly enhance trading accuracy by ensuring that multiple indicators support a trade decision. Traders on TradingView can customize their indicators and charts to fit their personal trading styles, making it a flexible approach to technical analysis.
Hawk Algo ProHawk Pro Algo: The Ultimate Smart Money & Trend Detection Tool
Hawk Pro Algo is a powerful trading indicator designed to help traders track institutional money movements, detect trend reversals, and generate precise buy/sell signals. By leveraging advanced algorithms, volume analysis, divergence detection, and dynamic gradient features, Hawk Pro Algo gives you the edge needed to navigate both trending and ranging markets with confidence.
Smart Money Detection
Hawk Pro Algo goes beyond standard indicators by focusing on tracking the movements of smart money (large institutional trades). This feature identifies key moments when significant players are entering or exiting the market, enabling you to align your trades with those of the most influential market participants.
Institutional Buy Signals: These signals occur when strong upward momentum, backed by large institutional buying, is detected. It gives you a clear sign that the market is about to rally.
Institutional Sell Signals: On the flip side, sell signals are generated when institutional selling pressure emerges, allowing you to exit positions before a significant drop.
These signals ensure that you're trading in sync with the smart money, maximizing your opportunities for profitable trades.
Buy & Sell Signals: Multiple Entry/Exit Points
Hawk Pro Algo comes equipped with multiple layers of buy and sell signals, giving traders the flexibility to spot different types of trading opportunities:
1. Diamond Buy & Sell Signals
Buy Diamonds: A green diamond appears when a combination of bullish signals, such as a strong price pattern and institutional buying pressure, align. These are ideal for capturing market upswings after confirmation.
Sell Diamonds: A red diamond is plotted when bearish conditions take over. This is a clear indicator that institutional sellers are driving the market down, signaling an ideal moment to exit.
2. CCI Cross Signals
CCI Buy Signals: Triggered when the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) crosses above a certain threshold, indicating a shift in momentum to the upside. This is visualized with a green cross, signaling a strong entry opportunity.
CCI Sell Signals: Similarly, when the CCI crosses below a threshold, a red cross is plotted, signaling the momentum has shifted downward, and it’s time to consider exiting.
3. Circle Buy & Sell Signals
Buy Circles: A green circle appears when the market is ready to reverse from a downward trend, confirming a strong buying opportunity. This is often combined with oversold conditions in the CCI to further validate the entry.
Sell Circles: A red circle is shown when the market is ready to correct or reverse after an upward movement. It confirms an ideal exit point to lock in profits before the market pulls back.
4. Trigger Signals
Buy Triggers: Trigger signals indicate moments of market manipulation or sudden dips in price, where a reversal could be imminent. These signals suggest that the market could rally after a short-lived price drop.
Sell Triggers: These are moments where downward manipulation is detected, warning traders of a potential sell-off or correction after a price spike.
Gradient CCI Oscillator: Dynamic Trend Strength with Overbought and Oversold Detection
The Gradient CCI Oscillator is one of the most unique aspects of Hawk Pro Algo. It combines momentum detection with visual cues to show trend strength and potential reversal points. The CCI doesn’t just indicate regular overbought and oversold levels—it provides a dynamic gradient transition to help you gauge market momentum.
Overbought and Oversold Glow
Potential Reversals (Glow Signals)
When the market is reaching critical overbought or oversold levels, Hawk Pro Algo uses a pink glow on the CCI to signal potential reversals:
Pink Glow (Overbought): When the CCI turns pink, the market is nearing a potential reversal from overbought conditions. It suggests caution and may be a signal to prepare for a downturn.
Pink Glow (Oversold): Conversely, a pink glow in oversold conditions signals a potential upward reversal, providing an early warning to get ready for a bullish move.
Three CCI Color Logics: Momentum and Reversal Detection
Hawk Pro Algo features a three-step gradient system that helps you visualize trend strength and detect potential reversals. This tricolor CCI logic transitions smoothly between green, white, and red, giving traders a deeper understanding of market dynamics.
#1: Red → White → Green Transition (and vice versa)
Green: Indicates strong bullish momentum. The CCI turns green when the market is in a strong upward trend, especially after recovering from oversold levels.
White: Represents a neutral zone, showing that momentum is fading or in transition. When the CCI is between overbought and oversold levels, the indicator turns white, signaling indecision or a potential upcoming shift in trend.
Red: Indicates strong bearish momentum. The CCI turns red when the market is under selling pressure or in an overbought state, signaling potential weakness.
This color transition allows you to see when momentum is shifting from bullish to bearish (or vice versa) and helps you time your entries and exits with greater precision.

#2: Flippable Gradient CCI
For added flexibility, Hawk Pro Algo allows you to flip the CCI gradient colors to suit your personal preference:
By default, the gradient transitions from green (bullish) to red (bearish).
By flipping the gradient, you can reverse this visualization, with red indicating bullish momentum and green signaling bearish conditions.
This feature ensures that the CCI display aligns with your individual trading style, providing a clearer picture of market conditions.
#3: Overbought/Oversold Color Logic
When the CCI crosses into overbought or oversold territory, the color transitions to help you stay on top of extreme market conditions:
Darker Red for overbought levels, helping you recognize when the market may be due for a reversal.
Deeper Green for oversold levels, signaling potential buying opportunities as the market reaches exhaustion.
These color shifts ensure that traders are visually alerted to key moments in the market, helping to avoid buying at the top or selling at the bottom.
Trigger Signals: Detecting Market Manipulation
The trigger signals in Hawk Pro Algo are designed to detect potential market manipulation—moments when artificial price moves occur before a larger trend shift. These signals help protect you from false breakouts or breakdowns.
Buy Triggers: These occur when the indicator detects potential upward manipulation, helping you prepare for a rally after a price dip.
Sell Triggers: Conversely, sell triggers indicate potential downward manipulation, alerting you to a possible sell-off after a price spike.
These signals act as early warnings, helping you avoid getting caught in manipulated price action and positioning you for better trade entries.
Divergence Detection: Pinpointing Reversals with real time Confidence
Hawk Pro Algo excels in divergence detection, identifying both regular and hidden divergences. Divergences occur when price action and the oscillator (CCI) are out of sync, signaling potential reversals.
Bullish Divergence: This occurs when the price is making lower lows, but the CCI is making higher lows. It suggests that downward momentum is weakening, and a reversal could be imminent. In this case, wait for the CCI to turn green to confirm that the bullish divergence is playing out before entering a trade.
Bearish Divergence: This happens when the price is making higher highs, but the CCI is making lower highs, signaling that upward momentum is weakening. Wait for the CCI to turn red to confirm that the bearish divergence is unfolding, and then consider entering a short trade.
By waiting for the CCI color to change (green for bullish divergence, red for bearish divergence), you ensure that the divergence is confirmed before taking action, leading to higher-confidence trades.
How It All Works Together
The combination of CCI color transitions, overbought/oversold detection, smart money signals, and trigger manipulations makes Hawk Pro Algo a comprehensive tool for traders of all skill levels:
Trend Strength: The CCI gradient provides instant visual feedback on the strength of the current trend, helping you gauge when to stay in a trade or prepare for a reversal.
Reversal Signals: The color-coded overbought/oversold signals help you spot key moments when the market may reverse, while divergence detection adds another layer of confidence to your entries.
Smart Money Flow: Follow the institutional money with precision buy/sell signals based on volume and trend strength, ensuring that you're aligned with
Cypher Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Cypher Pattern Detector🔵 Introduction
The Cypher Pattern is one of the most accurate and advanced harmonic patterns, introduced by Darren Oglesbee. The Cypher pattern, utilizing Fibonacci ratios and geometric price analysis, helps traders identify price reversal points with high precision. This pattern consists of five key points (X, A, B, C, and D), each playing an important role in determining entry and exit points in the financial markets.
The reversal point typically occurs in the XD region, with the Fibonacci ratio ranging between 0.768 and 0.886. This zone is referred to as the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ), where traders anticipate price changes to occur.
The Cypher harmonic pattern is popular among professional traders due to its high accuracy in identifying market trends and reversal points. The pattern appears in two forms: bullish Cypher pattern and bearish Cypher pattern.
In the bullish Cypher pattern, after a price correction, the price moves upward, while in the bearish Cypher pattern, the price moves downward after a temporary increase. These patterns help traders use technical analysis to identify strong reversal points in the PRZ and execute more optimal trades.
Bullish Cypher Pattern :
Bearish Cypher Pattern :
🔵 How to Use
The Cypher pattern is one of the most complex and precise harmonic patterns, leveraging Fibonacci ratios to help traders identify price reversals. This pattern is comprised of five key points, each playing a critical role in determining entry and exit points.
The Cypher pattern appears in two main types :
Bullish Cypher pattern : This pattern appears as an M shape on the chart and indicates a trend reversal to the upside after a price correction. Traders can prepare for buying after identifying this pattern in technical analysis.
Bearish Cypher pattern : This pattern appears as a W shape and signals the start of a downtrend after a temporary price increase. Traders can use this pattern to enter short positions.
🟣 How to Identify the Cypher Pattern on a Chart
Identifying the Cypher pattern requires precision and the use of advanced technical analysis tools. The pattern consists of four main legs, each identified using Fibonacci ratios and geometric analysis.
To spot the Cypher pattern on a chart, first, identify the five key points : X, A, B, C, and D.
XA leg : The initial move from point X to A.
AB leg : The first correction after the XA move, where the price moves to point B.
BC leg : After the correction, the price moves upwards to point C.
CD leg : The final price move that reaches point D, where a price reversal is expected.
In a bullish Cypher pattern, point D indicates the start of a new uptrend, while in a bearish Cypher pattern, point D signals the beginning of a downtrend. Correctly identifying these points helps traders determine the best time to enter a trade.
🟣 How to Trade Using the Cypher Pattern
Once the Cypher pattern is identified on the chart, traders can use it to set entry and exit points. Point D is the key point for trade entry. In the bullish Cypher pattern, the trader can enter a long position after point D forms, while in the bearish Cypher pattern, point D serves as the ideal point for entering a short position.
🟣 Entering a Buy Trade with the Bullish Cypher Pattern
In a bullish Cypher pattern, traders wait for the price to reach point D, after which they can enter a buy position. At this point, the price is expected to start rising.
🟣 Entering a Sell Trade with the Bearish Cypher Pattern
In a bearish Cypher pattern, the trader enters a sell position at point D, expecting the price to move downward after reaching this point. For additional confirmation, traders can use technical indicators such as RSI or MACD.
🟣 Risk Management in Cypher Pattern Trades
Risk management is one of the most critical aspects of any trade, and this holds true for trading the Cypher pattern. Traders should always use stop-loss orders to prevent larger losses in case the pattern fails.
In the bullish Cypher pattern, the stop-loss is usually placed slightly below point D to exit the trade if the price continues to drop.
In the bearish Cypher pattern, the stop-loss is placed above point D to limit losses if the price rises unexpectedly.
🟣 Combining the Cypher Pattern with Other Technical Tools
The Cypher pattern is a powerful tool in technical analysis, but combining it with other methods such as price action and technical indicators can improve trading accuracy.
🟣 Combining with Price Action
Traders can use price action to confirm the Cypher pattern. Candlestick patterns like reversal candlesticks can provide additional confirmation for price reversals at point D.
🟣 Using Technical Indicators
Incorporating technical indicators such as RSI and MACD can also help traders receive stronger signals for entering trades based on the Cypher pattern. These indicators help identify overbought or oversold conditions, allowing traders to make more informed decisions.
🟣 Advantages and Disadvantages of the Cypher Pattern in Technical Analysis
Advantages :
High accuracy : The Cypher pattern, using Fibonacci ratios and geometric analysis, provides high precision in identifying reversal points.
Applicable in various markets : This pattern can be used in a wide range of financial markets, including forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies.
Disadvantages :
Rarit y: The Cypher pattern appears less frequently on charts compared to other harmonic patterns.
Complexity : Accurately identifying this pattern requires significant experience, which may be challenging for novice traders.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Logical Setting

Message Frequency : This string parameter defines the announcement frequency. Choices include: "All" (activates the alert every time the function is called), "Once Per Bar" (activates the alert only on the first call within the bar), and "Once Per Bar Close" (the alert is activated only by a call at the last script execution of the real-time bar upon closing). The default setting is "Once per Bar".
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : The date, hour, and minute you receive in alert messages can be based on any time zone you choose. For example, if you want New York time, you should enter "UTC-4". This input is set to the time zone "UTC" by default.
🔵 Conclusion
The Cypher harmonic pattern is one of the most powerful and accurate patterns used in technical analysis. Its high precision in identifying price reversal points, particularly within the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ), has made it a popular tool among professional traders. The PRZ, located between the Fibonacci ratios of 0.768 and 0.886 in the XD region, offers traders a clear indication of where price reversals are likely to occur.
However, to use this pattern successfully, traders must employ proper risk management and combine it with supplementary tools like technical indicators and price action. By understanding how to utilize the PRZ, traders can enhance the accuracy of their trade entries and exits.
Ultimately, the Cypher pattern, when used in conjunction with the PRZ, helps traders make more precise decisions in the financial markets, leading to more successful and well-informed trades.

Technical Specification of the Scoring and Band System
Overview
The scoring system is designed to evaluate a set of technical trade conditions, assigning weights to various criteria that influence the quality of the trade. The system calculates a total score based on both positive and negative conditions. Based on the final score, the system assigns a grade or band (A, B, or C) for positive scores, and a "Negative" label for negative scores.
Scoring System
The system calculates the score by evaluating a set of 12 conditions (gradeCondition1 to gradeCondition12). These conditions are manually input by the user via checkboxes or dropdowns in a technical indicator (written in Pine Script for TradingView). The score weights vary according to the relative importance of each condition.
Condition Breakdown and Weighting:
1. Divergences (GradeCondition1 & GradeCondition2):
◦ 1H Divergence: +5 points if condition is true.
◦ 4H Divergence: +10 points if condition is true (stronger weight than 1H).
2. Support/Resistance at Neckline (GradeCondition3):
◦ Negative if present: -15 points if true (carries significant negative weight).
3. RB near Entry (GradeCondition4):
◦ Very Negative: -20 points if true (this is a critical negative condition).
4. RB can Manage (GradeCondition5):
◦ Slightly Negative: -5 points if true.
5. Institutional Value Zones (GradeCondition6 to GradeCondition8):
◦ For the trade: +5 points.
◦ Against the trade: -5 points.
◦ Neutral: 0 points.
6. S/R between Neckline & Targets (GradeCondition9 to GradeCondition11):
◦ Level 1: -10 points if true, +7 points if false.
◦ Level 2: -7 points if true, +7 points if false.
◦ Level 3: -5 points if true, +7 points if false.
◦ Use fib tool or Gann Box to measure any S/R levels setup according to your preferences.
7. News Timing (GradeCondition12):
◦ News within 3 hours: -20 points if true (strong negative factor).
◦ No upcoming news: +10 points if false.
Scoring Calculation Formula:
totalScore = score1 + score2 + score3 + score4 + score5 + score6 + score7 + score8 + score9 + score10 + score11 + score12
Where:
• score1 to score12 represent the points derived from the conditions described above.
Coloring and Visual Feedback:
• Positive Scores: Displayed in green.
• Negative Scores: Displayed in red.
Band System
The Band System classifies the total score into different grades, depending on the final value of totalScore. This classification provides an intuitive ranking for trades, helping users quickly assess trade quality.
Band Classification:
• Band A: If the totalScore is 41 or more.
◦ Represents a highly favorable trade setup.
• Band B: If the totalScore is between 21 and 40.
◦ Represents a favorable trade setup with good potential.
• Band C: If the totalScore is between 1 and 20.
◦ Represents a trade setup that is acceptable but may have risks.
• Negative: If the totalScore is 0 or less.
◦ Represents a poor trade setup with significant risks or unfavorable conditions.
Band Calculation Logic (in Pine Script):
var string grade = ""
if (totalScore >= 41)
grade := "Band A"
else if (totalScore >= 21)
grade := "Band B"
else if (totalScore >= 1)
grade := "Band C"
else
grade := "Negative"
Technical Key Points:
• Highly Negative Conditions:
◦ The system penalizes certain conditions more heavily, especially those that suggest significant risks (e.g., News in less than 3 hours, RB near Entry).
• Positive Trade Conditions:
◦ Divergences, Institutional Value Zones in favor of the trade, and lack of significant nearby resistance all contribute positively to the score.
• Flexible System:
◦ The system can be adapted or fine-tuned by adjusting the weights of individual conditions according to trading preferences.
Use Case Example:
• If a trade has 1H and 4H Divergence, RB near Entry (negative), and no upcoming news:
◦ 1H Divergence: +5 points.
◦ 4H Divergence: +10 points.
◦ RB near Entry: -20 points.
◦ No news: +10 points.
◦ Total Score: 5 + 10 - 20 + 10 = 5 → Band C.
This modular and flexible scoring system allows traders to systematically evaluate trades and quickly gauge the trade's potential based on technical indicators
Summary:
Maximum Score: 61
Minimum Score: -97
These are the bounds of the score range based on the current logic of the script.

LibyanSatoshi Wick FillThis is an indicator for wick fill strategy, It is an approach that focuses on the movement of price back into the 50% of a previous candle's wick. Here's an overview of this strategy:
The strategy is based on the idea that price often retraces to fill gaps or wicks left by strong moves in the market.
It particularly looks at candles with long wicks, which represent areas where price moved significantly but then reversed.
Long Wick Candles : These are candles where the wick (upper or lower shadow) is significantly longer than the body.
Trading Approach:
Entry: Traders enter a position when price starts moving back into the wick of a previous candle.
Stop Loss: Often placed beyond the end of the wick being filled.
Take Profit: Can be set at the opposite end of the candle whose wick is being filled, or at other significant levels.
Confluence:
Most effective when combined with other technical analysis tools or when the wick coincides with significant support/resistance levels.
Risks:
Not all wicks get filled, and price can reverse before reaching the full extent of the wick.
False signals can occur in choppy or ranging markets.
Benefits:
Provides clear entry and exit points.
Can be an effective way to enter trends or identify potential reversals.
Considerations:
Market sentiment is crucial; wick fills may have different implications in trending vs. ranging markets.
The size of the wick and the time frame it appears on can affect the reliability of the signal.
While the wick fill strategy can be a useful tool in a trader's arsenal, it's important to use it in conjunction with other forms of analysis and proper risk management. As with any trading strategy, it's not foolproof and requires practice and discretion to use effectively.

Bollinger Bands expand and contract based on market volatility. When the bands are narrow, it indicates low volatility and potential for a significant move. Wide bands indicate high volatility. This helps traders gauge the strength of market moves and potential reversals.
2. Linear Regression Channels
Purpose:
Linear Regression Channels identify the overall trend direction and measure deviation from the mean price over a specific period.
Components:
Middle Line (Linear Regression Line): The line of best fit through the price data over a specified period.
Upper and Lower Lines: Channels created by adding/subtracting a multiple of the standard deviation or another deviation measure from the regression line.
Why They Complement:
Linear Regression Channels provide a clear visual representation of the trend direction and the range within which prices typically fluctuate. This can help traders identify trend continuations and reversals, making it easier to spot entry and exit points.
3. Scalping Strategy Indicators
Purpose:
The RSI, MACD, and SMA are used to generate short-term buy and sell signals, which are essential for scalping strategies aimed at capturing quick profits from small price movements.
Components:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Measures the speed and change of price movements, typically over 14 periods. It helps identify overbought and oversold conditions.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): Consists of the MACD line, Signal line, and histogram. It helps identify changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend.
SMA (Simple Moving Average): The average price over a specified period, used to smooth out price data and identify trends.
Why They Complement:
These indicators provide short-term signals that can confirm or refute the signals given by Bollinger Bands and Linear Regression Channels. For example, a buy signal might be more reliable if the price is near the lower Bollinger Band and the MACD crosses above its signal line.
How They Work Together
Scenario 1: Confirming Trend Continuations
Bollinger Bands: Price staying near the upper band suggests a strong uptrend.
Linear Regression Channels: Price staying above the middle line confirms the uptrend.
5-Minute Scalping Strategy: RSI not in overbought territory, and MACD showing bullish momentum confirms continuation.
Scenario 2: Identifying Reversals
Bollinger Bands: Price touching or moving outside the lower band suggests oversold conditions.
Linear Regression Channels: Price at the lower channel line indicates potential support.
5-Minute Scalping Strategy: RSI in oversold territory, and MACD showing a bullish crossover indicates a reversal.
Scenario 3: Volatility Breakouts
Bollinger Bands: Bands contracting indicates low volatility and potential breakout.
Linear Regression Channels: Price moving away from the middle line signals potential breakout direction.
Scalping Strategy: MACD and RSI confirming the breakout direction for entry.

⭐ Key Features
Swing Market Structure: Change of Character, Break of Structure
Recognize and visualize real-time market structures with swing elements. Identify and mark key structural changes in the market to visually highlight shifts in market trends and patterns. This feature is designed to alert you to significant changes in the market's behavior, signaling a potential shift from accumulation to distribution phases, or vice versa. It helps traders adapt their strategies based on evolving market dynamics.
Order Flow: Structure Fractal
Connect the successive structural high and low levels, visualizing the intricate flow of market movements. This feature highlights fractal structures within the market, enabling traders to detect significant price action patterns.
Structure Range: Determine Discount, Premium, and Equilibrium Zones
This feature provides a unique way of visualizing price areas where a security could be overbought or oversold (premium or discount zones) and where the price is expected to be fair and balanced (equilibrium zone). Distance from the current price is displayed in percentage terms, which can assist traders with crucial data for risk management and strategic planning. The Range function helps you identify the most favorable price zones for entries and set your stop-loss and take-profit levels more accurately.
Liquidity Grabs: Reveal Hidden Manipulation Attempts
Identify uncovered market areas where high liquidity trading may take place. Liquidity Grabs help track "smart money" footprints by identifying levels where large institutional traders may have induced liquidity traps. Understanding these traps can aid in avoiding false market moves and optimizing trade entries.
Institutional Interest Zones: Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps
Uncover areas where bigger orders may be lined up. Reveal zones of interest ordered by volume strength. Receive warnings about market price imbalances.
▸ Order Blocks pinpoint crucial zones where large institutional investors ("smart money") have shown strong buying or selling interest recently. These blocks can serve as a tool for identifying key areas for potential trade entries or exits.
▸ Fair Value Gaps detect discrepancies between the perceived market value and the actual market price, revealing potential areas for price correction. With its mitigation settings, you can fine-tune the FVG detection according to the magnitude of value misalignment you consider significant.
Mitigation types dictate how price interacts with a zone, with order blocks requiring a close through (indicating stronger price movement) and fair value gaps requiring a wick through (hinting at weak rejection).

⭐ Why SMC?
In the ever-evolving trading landscape, mainstream methods and strategies can quickly become outdated as they are widely adopted. Liquidity is constantly sought after, and the best source for this is exploring and exploiting trading strategies that are widely accepted and applied. Currently, one of these strategies is the SMC (Supply, Demand, and Price Action).
It's no coincidence that our educational materials incorporate concepts such as liquidity grabs (LG) and Smart Money Traps (SMT). As the application of SMC gains popularity among retail traders, trading with this approach becomes more challenging. Therefore, the recent focus has been on reforming the SMC methodology, as it is the only method that relies on real price movements and will always work when applied correctly.
The indicator reflects our personal use and deep comprehension of Smart Money Concepts. It provides streamlined tools for tracking algorithmic trends with modern visualizations, without unnecessary clutter.
▸ What does the proper application of SMC entail?
Many SMC traders associate their key areas of interest with the market structure, which is generally considered acceptable. However, depending solely on a single foundation can lead to significant deviations, which may cause notable impacts on trading results. Moreover, if the basis for the market structure calculation is inaccurate, the consequences can be even more severe. It's akin to risking money on a lottery ticket, believing it will be a winner.
Our methodology is different, and it may ensure longevity in the financial markets. The structure remains crucial, but it is not the sole foundation of everything; instead, it serves as a validation tool. Each calculation, such as order blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), liquidity grabs (LG), range analysis, and more, is independent and unique, separate from the structure. However, validation must ultimately come from the structure itself.
We employ individual and high-quality filters: before a function calculation is validated by the structure, it must undergo rigorous testing based on its own set of validation conditions. This approach aims to enhance robustness and accuracy, providing traders with a reliable framework for making informed trading decisions.
▸ An example of structure validation: Order Block with "Swing Sensitivity"
These order blocks will only be displayed and utilized by the script if there is a swing structure validation with a valid break. In other words, the presence of a confirmed swing Change of Character (ChoCh) or Break of Structure (BoS) is essential for the Order Block to be considered valid and relevant.
This approach ensures that the order blocks are aligned with the overall market structure and are not based on isolated or unreliable price movements. Whether it's Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Liquidity Grabs (LG), Range calculations, or other functionalities, the same underlying principle holds true. The background structure calculation serves as a validation mechanism for the data and insights generated by these functions, ensuring they adhere to the specific criteria and rules established within our methodology. By incorporating this robust validation process, traders can have confidence in the reliability and accuracy of the information provided by the indicator, allowing them to make informed trading decisions based on validated data and analysis.

👉 Usage - the general approach
Determine your trading style and build your basic strategy:
The indicator helps you understand your trading style, whether it's swing trading, scalping or another approach. By analyzing the SMC indicator, you gain valuable information about potential market trends, entry and exit points, and overall market sentiment.
Steps:
Identify Trading Style: Determine whether you are a swing trader, scalper, or long-term investor. This will influence how you use the indicator.
Analyze Market Trends: Use the SMC indicator to observe market trends and identify potential entry and exit points.
Adapt Strategies: Adjust your strategies based on the market dynamics revealed by the SMC indicator, such as changes in order flow or market structure.
👉 Example of usage
In the following chart, you'll notice how we've utilized the indicator to formulate a strategic trading approach. We've employed Order Blocks equipped with volume parameters to identify crucial market zones. Simultaneously, we've leveraged swing/internal market structures to gain insights into potential long- and short-term market turnarounds. Lastly, we've examined trend line liquidity zones to pinpoint probable impulses and breakouts within ongoing trends.
Now we can see how the price descended to the order block with the highest volume, which we had previously marked as our point of interest for an entry. As the price closed below the median Order Block, we noted its mitigation. After an internal CHoCH, it's directing us towards the main Order Block as a target.

Enhanced Forex IndicatorDescription of the "Enhanced Forex Indicator"
The "Enhanced Forex Indicator" is designed for traders who want a comprehensive technical analysis tool on the TradingView platform. This script integrates Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), support and resistance zones, and candlestick pattern recognition to provide actionable trading signals, particularly useful for Forex and other financial markets. The script is suitable for intraday trading and swing trading.
Components of the Indicator
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
Short EMA (Blue Line): Faster responding average, good for identifying recent trend changes.
Long EMA (Red Line): Slower moving average, helps in confirming longer-term trends.
Support and Resistance Zones:
Resistance Zone (Red): Area where potential selling pressure could overcome buying pressure, halting price increases temporarily or reversing them.
Support Zone (Green): Area where potential buying pressure could overcome selling pressure, supporting prices and preventing them from falling further.
Candlestick Patterns:
Bullish Engulfing Pattern (Green Triangle Up 'BE'): Suggests a potential upward reversal or start of a bullish trend.
Bearish Engulfing Pattern (Red Triangle Down 'BE'): Indicates a potential downward reversal or start of a bearish trend.
Buy/Sell Signals:
Buy Signal (Green Label 'BUY'): Triggered when the price is above both EMAs and a bullish engulfing pattern is detected.
Sell Signal (Red Label 'SELL'): Triggered when the price is below both EMAs and a bearish engulfing pattern is detected.
Trading Setup:
Entry: Consider entering a buy position when the 'BUY' signal appears, indicating bullish conditions. Enter a sell position when the 'SELL' signal appears, indicating bearish conditions.
Exit: Look for closing signals opposite your entry or use predefined take profit and stop loss levels. For instance, exit a buy position on a 'SELL' signal or when the price drops below the support zone.
Risk Management:
Set stop losses just below the support zone for buy orders and above the resistance zone for sell orders to protect against significant losses.
Adjust position sizes according to your risk tolerance and account balance.
Considerations:
Use this indicator in conjunction with other analysis tools and fundamental data to confirm signals and strengthen your trading strategy.
Periodically backtest the strategy based on this indicator to ensure its effectiveness in current market conditions.
Optimization:
Adjust the lengths of the EMAs and the buffer size of the support and resistance zones to better fit the asset's volatility and your trading timeframe.
TRN BarsThe innovative TRN Bars are designed to help traders to analyze markets in an intuitive way. It combines three core concepts:
TRN Bars to see the current trend and reversals (replaces the default chart bars)
Bar Ranges to highlight consolidations
Dynamic Trend to see the overall trend.
First, let's have a look at each of these concepts individually. Afterwards, we describe how a combination of all three gives you a crystal-clear picture of the market.
TRN Bars
They show bullish and bearish trends and reversals based on color coding the bars and give high probability trade opportunities with special colors. The trend analysis is based on a new algorithm that includes several different inputs:
classical and advanced bar patterns and their statistical frequency
probability distributions of price expansions after certain bar patterns
bar information such as wick length in %, overlapping of the previous bar in % and many more
historical trend and consolidation analysis
The algorithm weighs these concepts and outputs a color scheme for the chart bars or candlesticks.
Bar Types
Trend bars in green and red
Reversal Bars in blue and fuchsia
Continuation Bars in turquoise and orange
Breakout Bars in dark green and pink
Green Bars signify a sustained uptrend, indicating bullish market sentiment. On the other hand, Red Bars indicate a persistent downtrend, representing bearish market sentiment. The transition from red to green denotes a bullish trend reversal, suggesting a shift from bearish to bullish sentiment. Conversely, the shift from green to red signals a bearish trend reversal, indicating a transition from bullish to bearish sentiment. By monitoring these color changes, traders can identify potential trend reversals and make informed trading decisions.
The presence of gray and black bars indicates a neutral market state, often observed before an impending color change from red to green or green to red. These neutral bars serve as a transition phase between the previous trend and the potential reversal.
The TRN Bars incorporate Signal Bars, distinguished by their distinct colors, to offer potential buy and sell signals and deeper insights into market dynamics.
Reversal Bars
The presence of blue Reversal Bars indicates a trend reversal to the upside, while pink Reversal Bars indicate a reversal to the downside. These bars not only serve as signals for potential trend shifts but also present favorable opportunities to enter the market or increase one's position size.
Continuation Bars
In addition to the reversal bars, TRN Bars also include bullish continuation bars (colored turquoise) and bearish continuation bars (colored orange). These bars act as signals for the continuation of an existing trend. Like the reversal bars, they can be utilized as entry points or opportunities to augment one's position size.
Breakout Bars
The dark green breakout bars within TRN Bars show a powerful breakout from a price range detected by our integrated bar range feature. They signify the continuation or potential change in a trend following a consolidation phase. As such, these bars hold dual functionality, serving as reversal signals and validating the persistence of an ongoing trend.
Bar Ranges
The bar range feature automatically finds consolidations where the price range of several consecutives bars is rather small. The detection of the bar ranges includes among other things the overlapping percentage of these bars.
How to Use Price Ranges
Here are a few ways you can use the bar ranges in your trading:
Identify Support and Resistance Levels
The price ranges can help you identify key support and resistance levels on a chart. By observing price ranges and identifying these levels, you can make more informed decisions about entering or exiting trades.
Breakout Trading
Price ranges can also provide insights into potential breakout opportunities. Breakouts occur when the price breaks out of a defined range, signaling a potential shift in market sentiment and the start of a new trend. The Color highlighted Breakout Bars from the TRN Bars are signaling a powerful breakout of a price range. Traders can enter positions in the direction of the breakout and set appropriate stop-loss orders to manage risk. Note that not every price range is left by a powerful breakout.
Dynamic Trend
The Dynamic Trend combines elements from standard trend strength indicators (e.g. DI-, DI+, Parabolic SAR) and volatility indicators (e.g. ATR, Standard Deviation). It produces a moving average line that adapts to changing market volatility. It is inspired by the ideas of the programmer and trader Fat Tails. The adaptive behavior provides more relevant information for traders when compared to traditional moving averages which do not consider volatility and trend strength together. This makes the Dynamic Trend completely unique, and no other moving average indicator can give you this precision.
How to use Dynamic Trend
Generally, a rising Dynamic Trend line, displayed in green, indicates that an uptrend is strong, while a falling Dynamic Trend, displayed in red, suggests that the downtrend is sharp. The Dynamic Trend turns gray when there is insufficient clarity to establish a distinct trend and especially when there is not volatility in the market.
Identify potential trade entries and exits: When used in conjunction with price action, the Dynamic Trend can provide potential trade signals. For example, if the price crosses above the Dynamic Trend, it may be a bullish sign, suggesting a potential buy entry. Conversely, if the price crosses below the Dynamic Trend, it may indicate bearish conditions and a potential sell signal.
Trend Identification and Pullback trading
Observe the Dynamic Trend's color. When it's on the rise and appears green, it indicates a bullish trend. Conversely, if it's in decline and displayed in red, it signals a bearish trend.
If Dynamic Trend is green and price pulls from above back to the Dynamic Trend, then this can be considered as a bullish signal.
If Dynamic Trend is red and price pulls from below back to the Dynamic Trend, then this can be considered as a bearish signal.
In the event of a bearish signal, such as a bearish TRN Signal Bar, and the Dynamic Trend is red, it provides additional confirmation to the bearish signal. Likewise, bullish signals gain added conviction when the Dynamic Trend is green.
Crossovers
As with other moving averages, crossovers between the Dynamic Trend and the price can be significant.
If price is crossing above the Dynamic Trend, then this can be considered as a bullish signal.
If price is crossing below the Dynamic Trend, then this can be considered as a bearish signal.
If you currently hold a position, both bullish and bearish crossovers can serve as potential exit signals. For instance, in the case of a long position, a bearish crossover can indicate a potential shift in sentiment, signaling a bearish reversal and a potential opportunity to close your long position.
Filtering Noise
Due to its adaptive nature, the Dynamic Trend can be a useful tool to filter out market noise. When the market is choppy or consolidating, the Dynamic Trend tends to remain flat and colored gray, signaling traders to potentially stay out of the market.
Stop Losses
The Dynamic Trend can also be used as a dynamic stop loss. For instance, in a long trade, traders can use the Dynamic Trend as a trailing stop, selling their position if the price crosses below the Dynamic Trend.
Combining TRN Bars, Bar Ranges and Dynamic Trend together
Combining all three concepts gives you a crystal-clear picture of the market. The Dynamic Trend shows you the overall trend. If price pulls back to the dynamic trend line and then price picks up the trend direction again, then the TRN Bars immediately switch the color to the trend direction. Therefore, you can easily identify high probability entry signals based on the bar color.
As a simple trading model, you can set the stop loss below the last swing or below a TRN signal bar (vice versa for short entries) and use 2.5 R or 3 R as target.
You can increase the success rate of the high probability TRN signal bars entries even more if they are in line with the Dynamic Trend line.
On the other hand, the TRN Bar Ranges help you to stay out of the market in case the price does not really change. As a confluence signal to stay flat in this period the dynamic trend line tends to be grey as well. If the price breaks out of the range, then the TRN Bars print a breakout bar which serves as a high probability entry signal.
Although it is possible to switch off any of these concepts, it is highly recommended to use all three in combination to get a crystal-clear picture of the market.
Alerts
Experience the power of our TRN Bars Alerts, delivering real-time notifications for trend changes, price range breakouts, and signal bar formations or confirmations. Stay on top of the market with these versatile alerts, customizable to your preferred assets and timeframes.
Conclusion
While signals from TRN Bars can be informative, it is important to recognize that their reliability may vary. Various external factors can impact market prices, and it is essential to consider your risk tolerance and investment goals when executing trades.
Volatility Adjusted Weighted DEMA [BackQuant]Volatility Adjusted Weighted DEMA
The Volatility Adjusted Weighted Double Exponential Moving Average (VAWDEMA) by BackQuant is a sophisticated technical analysis tool designed for traders seeking to integrate volatility into their moving average calculations. This innovative indicator adjusts the weighting of the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) according to recent volatility levels, offering a more dynamic and responsive measure of market trends.
Primarily, the single Moving average is very noisy, but can be used in the context of strategy development, where as the crossover, is best used in the context of defining a trading zone/ macro uptrend on higher timeframes.
Why Volatility Adjustment is Beneficial
Volatility is a fundamental aspect of financial markets, reflecting the intensity of price changes. A volatility adjustment in moving averages is beneficial because it allows the indicator to adapt more quickly during periods of high volatility, providing signals that are more aligned with the current market conditions. This makes the VAWDEMA a versatile tool for identifying trend strength and potential reversal points in more volatile markets.
Understanding DEMA and Its Advantages
DEMA is an indicator that aims to reduce the lag associated with traditional moving averages by applying a double smoothing process. The primary benefit of DEMA is its sensitivity and quicker response to price changes, making it an excellent tool for trend following and momentum trading. Incorporating DEMA into your analysis can help capture trends earlier than with simple moving averages.
The Power of Combining Volatility Adjustment with DEMA
By adjusting the weight of the DEMA based on volatility, the VAWDEMA becomes a powerful hybrid indicator. This combination leverages the quick responsiveness of DEMA while dynamically adjusting its sensitivity based on current market volatility. This results in a moving average that is both swift and adaptive, capable of providing more relevant signals for entering and exiting trades.
Core Logic Behind VAWDEMA
The core logic of the VAWDEMA involves calculating the DEMA for a specified period and then adjusting its weighting based on a volatility measure, such as the average true range (ATR) or standard deviation of price changes. This results in a weighted DEMA that reflects both the direction and the volatility of the market, offering insights into potential trend continuations or reversals.
Utilizing the Crossover in a Trading System
The VAWDEMA crossover occurs when two VAWDEMAs of different lengths cross, signaling potential bullish or bearish market conditions. In a trading system, a crossover can be used as a trigger for entry or exit points:
Bullish Signal: When a shorter-period VAWDEMA crosses above a longer-period VAWDEMA, it may indicate an uptrend, suggesting a potential entry point for a long position.
Bearish Signal: Conversely, when a shorter-period VAWDEMA crosses below a longer-period VAWDEMA, it might signal a downtrend, indicating a possible exit point or a short entry.
Incorporating VAWDEMA crossovers into a trading strategy can enhance decision-making by providing timely and adaptive signals that account for both trend direction and market volatility. Traders should combine these signals with other forms of analysis and risk management techniques to develop a well-rounded trading strategy.

Nightrangers IndicatorDescription
This indicator combines three EMA's, Ichimoku Cloud, RSI and MACD. By combining and modifying their use case this turns into an extremely powerful and accessible indicator for finding long and short position entries, below is a description of how to use this indicator, and what makes it different.
Primary Use case
The three EMA's would be the initial indicators you would be looking at, they are based on the 7d, 25d and 200d MA - Used on their own, they would be worthless, and this is where the Ichimoku Cloud comes into it, I have removed all other aspects of the Ichimoku Cloud and only kept the baseline, combine this with the three MA's and we have a very powerful indicator for finding Long entries, that is used uniquely in a way to which the Ichimoku Cloud is not originally meant to be used for.
An early indication of a LONG entry would be when the 7d MA crosses above the Ichimoku Baseline, through this early indicator, you are able to watch and monitor the chart, you would be waiting to see if the 25d MA then also crosses above the Ichimoku Baseline, This would be the second important indication of a long entry. The 200d MA helps here when making decisions on where to set your own personal take profits - If the Ichimoku baseline, and the MA's are below the 200d MA, you would be expecting a bounce point here, or heavy resistance so the long entry could be over a shorter period, than that if it was above the 200d MA, which is why it is included here, to help make a better informed choice.
The latter is reversed for finding short positions, and entries. This indicator is completely reliant on each other to find the best possible entry/exit by complementing each other, and by using the Ichimoku Baseline on it's own, and not as the Ichimoku Cloud is intended.
Just using these though, is not enough, which is why the RSI and MACD are also combined, once the conditions are met above, You may find that there can be false positives for entries, and this is where the RSI has multiple use cases within this script.
Firstly the backdrop colour will change based on whether the chart is in an uptrend or downtrend, This is a visual indicator provided to work simultaneaously on the chart itself to help identification of entries/exits easier to identify in conjunction with the above.
Secondly, It is used to display in the top right, The current Trend in a text format, as well as if the current chart is in one of three phases, these are Overbrought, Oversold and accumulation.
And finally it will display the current RSI Value on the last candle in a clear to see blue Label, This helps with the visual accessible side, to help you make a more informed choice depending on your own personal tolerance.
This ties into the above Indicators, by combining the information, you would not be looking to take a long, if for example, the RSI showed it was over-brought, and in a downtrend, even if the MA's had crossed above the Baseline, as this would most likely be a fakeout.
However if the Indicators above, showed a potential long, and the backdrop had flipped green, indicating an uptrend, and it was in an accumulation phase, you would consider this position. and this is where the MACD comes into play.
You would use the MACD to see whether or not the Signal line has crossed over the MACD line, and vice versa - However this script uses it to simplify and portray current market sentiment, and visually display by reducing clutter on screen, and making it more accessible.
It is designed to portray an easy to read and understand visual indicator by displaying in the top right simply as Bullish or Bearish, with markers above the candles ( "M" and "MX" ).
The M indicator is to show where the MACD Crosses above the Signal, and if aligned with all the other indicators within the script, shows a very strong confirmation for a buying opportunity, and vice versa for the "MX" indicator if aligned with the other indicators in reverse, provides a very strong confirmation for opening a short position or for selling.
Secondary Use case
By combining the indicators above, the secondary conditions you would be looking for, If you opened a LONG position, would be knowing when to sell, On top of what has been described above already regarding this, you would be looking to start taking profits, when the 7d MA crosses above or across the candles, and looking to close the position, when the 25d MA also crosses above the candles, and respectively, in reverse for closing short positions. This is shown across the charts to be extremely useful, however, combine this with the other indicators, portrayed in an easy to use and understand visual representation, you are now able to make more informed decisions, on whether to close a position or not.
How is it different and not just a mash up
I have combined these indicators to make the world of trading more accessible for everyone regardless of circumstances, by creating an easy to understand visual representation, keeping colours vibrant and easy to stand out, with clear and simple to read text indications. So whether you are a seasoned trader, or just starting out, you can make more informed choices, without the need of learning how to use multiple different indicators, and learning how to combine them all, or if you have difficulties learning, this indicator also simplifies a lot of the more technical intricacies, by still allowing you to make a more informed choice.
Volatility Visualizer by Oddbeaker LLCUse this to determine if a crypto pair has volatility suitable for your Oddbeaker Synthetic Miner. Draws entry/exit lines over the candles.
"Show me every place on the chart where I could have made X percent gains in Y days or less."
Inputs :
Percent Gain : Minimum percent gains to show on the chart.
Scan Bars : Maximum number of bars allowed to reach the profit target.
Notes :
Lines drawn on the chart indicate the entry and exit times and prices to reach the exact profit target.
The indicator only uses the low price of each candle to determine entry. It does not show every possible entry point.
When counting lines, count any group of lines that cross each other as one. Also, count any group of lines that do not cross but overlap in price over the same time period as one.
Tips :
For best results, set Percent Gain to double the amount of the sum of Min Profit and Min Stash on your Synth Miner. Example: If you have minProfit=5 and minStash=5, 5+5=10, so percentGain should be 20 on the chart.
Use a daily chart and set Scan Bars to 7 or less on highly volatile pairs.
Look for charts with the highest number of lines that don't overlap.
Use this indicator combined with the Synthetic Mining Channel for best results.
