BreakoutTrendFollowingINFO:
The "BreakoutTrendFollowing" indicator is a comprehensive trading system designed for trend-following in various market environments. It combines multiple technical indicators, including Moving Averages (MA), MACD, and RSI,
along with volume analysis and breakout detection from consolidation, to identify potential entry points in trending markets. This strategy is particularly effective for assets that exhibit strong trends and significant price movements.
Note that using the consolidation filter reduces the amount of entries the strategy detects significantly, and needs to be used if we want to have an increased confidence in the trend via breakout.
However, the strategy can be easily transformed to various only trend-following strategies, by applying different filters and configurations.
The indicator can be used to connect to the Signal input of the TTS (TempalteTradingStrategy) by jason5480 in order to backtest it, thus effectively turning it into a strategy (instructions below in TTS CONNECTIVITY section)
DETAILS:
The strategy's core is built upon several key components:
Moving Average (MA): Used to determine the general trend direction. The strategy checks if the price is above the selected MA type and length.
MACD Filter: Analyzes the relationship between two moving averages to confirm the trend's momentum.
Consolidation Detection: Identifies periods of price consolidation and triggers trades on breakouts from these ranges.
Volume Analysis: Assesses trading volume to confirm the strength and validity of the breakout.
RSI: Used to avoid overbought conditions, ensuring trades are entered in favorable market situations.
Wick filters: make sure there is not a long wick that indicates selling pressure from above
The strategy generates buy signals when several conditions are met concurrently (each one of them can be individually enabled/disabled)"
The price is above the selected MA.
A breakout occurs from a configurable consolidation range.
The MACD line is above the signal line, indicating bullish momentum.
The RSI is below the overbought threshold.
There's an increase in trading volume, confirming the breakout's strength.
Currently the strategy fires SL signals, as the approach is to check for loss of momentum - i.e. crossunder of the MACD line and signal line, but that is to everyone to determine the exit conditions.
The buy and SL signals are set on the chart using green or orange triangles on the below/above the price action.
SETTINGS:
Users can customize various parameters, including MA type and period, MACD settings, consolidation length, and volume increase percentage. The strategy is equipped with alert conditions for both entry (buy signals) and exit (set stop loss) points, facilitating both manual and automated trading.
Each one of the technical indicators, as well as the consilidation range and breakout/wick settings can be configured and enabled/disabled individually.
Please thoroughly review the available settings of the script, but here is an outline of the most important ones:
Use bar wicks (instead of open/close) - the ref_high/low will be taken based on the bar wicks, rather than the open/close when determining the breakout and MA
Enter position only on green candles - additional filters to make sure that we enter only on strong momentum
MA Filter: (enable, source, type, length) - general settings for MA filter to be checked against the stock price (close or upper wick)
MACD Filter: (enable, source, Osc MA type, Signal MA type, Fast MA length, Slow MA length, Low MACD Hist) - detailed settings for fine MACD tuning
Consolidation:
Consolidation Type: we have two different ways of detecting the consolidation, note the types below.
CONSOLIDATION_BASIC - consolidation areas by looking for the pivot point of a trend and counts the number of bars that have not broken the consolidation high/low levels.
CONSOLIDATIO_RANGE_PERCENT - identifies consolidation by comparing the range between the highest and lowest price points over a specified period.
So in summary the CONSOLIDATIO_RANGE_PERCENT uses a percentage-based range to define consolidation, while CONSOLIDATION_BASIC uses a count of bars within a high-low range to establish consolidation.
Thus the former is more focused on the tightness of the price range, whereas the latter emphasizes the duration of the consolidation phase.
The CONSOLIDATIO_RANGE_PERCENT might be more sensitive to recent price movements and suitable for shorter-term analysis, while CONSOLIDATION_BASIC could be better for identifying longer-term consolidation patterns.
Min consolidation length - applicable for CONSOLIDATION_BASIC case, the min number of bars for the price to be in the range to consider consolidation
Consolidation Loopback period - applicable for CONSOLIDATION_BASIC case, the loopback number of bars to look for consolidation
Consolidation Range percent - applicable for CONSOLIDATIO_RANGE_PERCENT, the percent between the high and low in the range to consider consolidation
Plot consolidation - enables plotting of the consolidation (only for debug purposes)
Breakout: (enable, low, high) - the definition of the breakout from the previous consolidation range, the price should be between to determine the breakout as successfull
Upper wick: (enable, percent) - defines the percent of the upper wick compared to the whole candle to allow breakout (if the wick is too big part of the candle we can consider entering the position riskier)
RSI: (enable, length, overbought) - general settings for RSI TA
Volume (enbale, percentage increase, average volume filter en, loopback bars) - percentage of increase of the volume to consider for a breakout. There are two modes - percentage increase compared to the previous bar, or percentage against the average volume for the last loopback bars.
Note that there are many different configuration that you can play with, and I believe this is the strength of the strategy, as it can provide a single solution for different cases and scenarios.
My advice is to try and play with the different options for different markets based on the approach you want to implement and try turning features on/off and tuning them further.
TTS SETTINGS (NEEDED IF USED TO BACKTEST WITH TTS):
The TempalteTradingStrategy is a strategy script developed in Pine by jason5480, which I recommend for quick turn-around of testing different ideas on a proven and tested framework
I cannot give enough credit to the developer for the efforts put in building of the infrastructure, so I advice everyone that wants to use it first to get familiar with the concept and by checking
by checking jason5480's profile www.tradingview.com
The TTS itself is extremely functional and have a lot of properties, so its functionality is beyond the scope of the current script -
Again, I strongly recommend to be thoroughly explored by everyone that plans on using it.
In the nutshell it is a script that can be feed with buy/sell signals from an external indicator script and based on many configuration options it can determine how to execute the trades.
The TTS has many settings that can be applied, so below I will cover only the ones that differ from the default ones, at least according to my testing - do your own research, you may find something even better :)
The current/latest version that I've been using as of writing and testing this script is TTSv48
Settings which differ from the default ones:
Deal Conditions Mode - External (take enter/exit conditions from an external script)
🔌Signal 🛈➡ - BreakoutTrendFollowing: 🔌Signal to TTS (this is the output from the indicator script, according to the TTS convention)
Order Type - STOP (perform stop order)
Distance Method - HHLL (HigherHighLowerLow - in order to set the SL according to the strategy definition from above)
The next are just personal preferences, you can feel free to experiment according to your trading style
Take Profit Targets - 0 (either 100% in or out, no incremental stepping in or out of positions)
Dist Mul|Len Long/Short- 10 (make sure that we don't close on profitable trades by any reason)
Quantity Method - EQUITY (personal backtesting preference is to consider each backtest as a separate portfolio, so determine the position size by 100% of the allocated equity size)
Equity % - 100 (note above)

Hosoda Waves ABCDEThe Hosoda Waves indicator was devised by Goichi Hosoda, who is also the creator of the Ichimoku system, with the idea that previous highs and lows could determine future price ranges that the market would react to.
Hosoda's projections are the NT, N, V, and E waves, which are derived from calculations based on both upward and downward ABC swings.
Hosoda's waves are derived from the following calculations:
NT Wave = C + (C - A)
N Wave = B + (B - A)
V Wave = B + (B - C)
E Wave = C + (B - A)
There are already scripts for the Hosoda waves, and my idea is to project an ABCDE swing simultaneously, meaning projecting three swings:
ABC, indicated with an A, resulting in NT-A, N-A, V-A, E-A.
BCD, indicated with a B, resulting in NT-B, N-B, V-B, E-B.
CDE, indicated with a C, resulting in NT-C, N-C, V-C, E-C.
Once the indicator is applied to the chart, the interactive Pine Script tool version 5 will prompt you to identify 5 points of "low-high-low-high-low" or "high-low-high-low-high," both for upward and downward movements and mixed.
Once clicked, these price points can be moved. If you change the time frame or market instrument, the indicator must be removed because it remains tied to the prices where it was initially drawn.
CCPD Candle Color Price DetectorThe "CCPD Candle Color Price Detector" is a custom indicator developed for TradingView, a popular platform for technical analysis and trading. This indicator assists traders in identifying potential trend reversals and assessing market sentiment based on candlestick color changes and key price levels.
This indicator operates as follows:
Color Change Detection: It primarily focuses on the color of candlesticks (green for bullish and red for bearish). When a candlestick closes higher than it opens, it is considered green (bullish), and when it closes lower, it is red (bearish).
High and Low Analysis: The indicator calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined number of bars (specified by the 'Bars for High/Low' input parameter). This helps identify recent price extremes.
Midpoint Calculation: It then computes the midpoint between the highest high and lowest low, effectively determining a central reference point within the specified period.
Signal Generation: Buy and sell signals are generated based on the relationship between the current candlestick's close price, the midpoint, and the candlestick color. Buy signals occur when a green candle closes above the midpoint, suggesting potential bullish momentum. Conversely, sell signals trigger when a red candle closes below the midpoint, indicating possible bearish pressure.
Visualization: The indicator visualizes the highest high, lowest low, midpoint, and additional lines to aid in understanding the price action and potential reversal points.
Alerts: It provides alerts for buy and sell signals, allowing traders to receive notifications when potential trading opportunities arise.
Usage:
Traders can utilize the "CCPD Candle Color Price Detector" in the following ways:
Trend Reversal Identification: This indicator can help traders spot potential trend reversals by signaling when candlestick colors change and close near the midpoint. Buy and sell signals offer entry points for trades based on these reversals.
Confirmation Tool: It can be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm trading decisions. For example, a buy signal from this indicator, coupled with a bullish trendline break or a bounce from a key support level, may provide a stronger bullish signal.
Risk Management: By understanding potential reversal points and using stop-loss orders, traders can better manage their risk and protect their capital when entering positions based on the indicator's signals.
Customization: The indicator allows users to adjust the number of bars for high/low calculations, making it adaptable to different trading strategies and timeframes.
In summary, the "CCPD Candle Color Price Detector" is a versatile indicator that can aid traders in spotting potential trend changes, enhancing trading decisions, and managing risk effectively. However, like any trading tool, it should be used in conjunction with other analysis methods and risk management strategies for optimal results.
The Swinging Momentum IndicatorThe Swinging Momentum indicator is a custom trading indicator that looks at price momentum to identify potential buy and sell signals. It uses the rate of change in closing price over the last few bars to determine if momentum is increasing or decreasing. It also looks at the relationship of the close price to recent highs and lows, volume, and short term moving averages to confirm the strength of the momentum signal.
The indicator has two main components - identifying initial buy and sell signals, and then rating the strength of those signals. For buys, it looks for an increase in closing price momentum along with a close above recent highs and highest volume. For sells, it looks for a decrease in momentum and close below recent lows and highest volume. This identifies the initial signal without too many false signals.
It then looks at multiple factors to grade the strength of the signal, on a scale of 0 to 3. For buys it looks at how the close compares to the open, high and low of the last 4 bars, if the current low is above the recent low, and if there are more gaining days than losing days recently. For sells it looks at the close versus the open/high/low, if the current high is below the recent high, and if there are more losing than gaining days.
Each condition met adds 1 point to the strength rating. A rating above 2 is considered a strong momentum signal. This filters out weaker signals and reduces whipsaws.
The end result is plotted on the chart. Buy signals are triangles pointing up below the bars, sells are triangles pointing down above the bars. The colors help visualize the strength - strong signals are green for buys and red for sells, while weaker signals are yellow.
Trading with the Swinging Momentum indicator is straightforward. Strong buy signals identify upside momentum, so traders would look to enter long positions on a retest of the buy signal bar high. Strong sell signals identify downside momentum, so short positions can be entered on a retest of the bar low. Stops are placed beyond recent swing points in the opposite direction of the trade.
Since momentum can quickly change, risk management is key. Traders should look for other confirming indicators to strengthen the probability of a momentum trade working out. Good additional indicators to use with momentum include volume, trends, support/resistance and volatility measures.
The advantage of the Swinging Momentum indicator is that isolating the strongest momentum moves helps traders focus on higher probability trade setups. Monitoring both the initial signal and the strength rating gives an added level of confidence compared to standard momentum indicators. This custom indicator combines multiple momentum strategies into one, allowing traders to quickly identify and evaluate momentum opportunities on the chart.
Used appropriately with sound risk management, the Swinging Momentum indicator can be a valuable addition to a trading system. It visualizes both the direction and strength of momentum, key factors when trading trends and breakouts. While no indicator is perfect, understanding and utilizing momentum is a key concept for traders to master. This indicator provides a graphical representation to improve the way momentum is incorporated into trading decisions.
Pivots Support Resistance ZoneThis simple script base on function of Pivot High Low to plot Support and Resistance Zone on chart with detail as below:
1. Support Zone
+ New Pivot Low is plotted
+ New Pivot Low lower previous Pivot Low
+ Upper Line of Support Zone is previous Pivot Low
+ Lower Line of Support Zone is new Pivot Low
2. Resistance Zone
+ New Pivot High is plotted
+ New Pivot High higher previous Pivot High
+ Upper Line of Resistance Zone is new Pivot High
+ Lower Line of Resistance Zone is previous Pivot High
Evolution Fractals with IBA standard fractal high has two lower high (or equal high) candles to its left and right.
For standard fractal low fractals this is vice versa.
-But this indicator plots has the option to plot standard fractals only after candle close is confirmed.
So if the current candle is still forming in live markets, only after this candle has fully closed, then the indicator checks if the fractal is valid and then plotted.
You can select this option On or Off
(with the standard fractal indicator there is a fractal plotted, but when this candle high (or low ) is broken again, the fractal disappears. This re-painting of fractals can cause confusion.
-Added an alert functionality.
When setting an alert on your chart, you can select this indicator to alert you upon the forming of a new fractal high or low.
-Added optional Inside Bar function.
When a candle High/Low does not breach the previous candle High/Low, then a different body color can be shown.
This is particular handy to quickly if this high/low is breached, without having to zoom in on the chart.
Pivot HL Trading SetupThis simple script base on function of Pivot High Low to plot Trading Setup on chart with detail as below:

ICT HTF Liquidity Levels /w Alert [MsF]Japanese below / 日本語説明は英文の後にあります。
-------------------------
*This indicator is based on sbtnc's "HTF Liquidity Levels". It's a very cool indicator. thank you.
It has 3 functions: visualization of HTF liquidity (with alert), candle color change when displacement occurs, and MSB (market structure break) line display.
=== Function description ===
1. HTF liquidity (with alert)
Lines visualize the liquidity pools on the HTF bars. Alerts can be set for each TF's line.
Once the price reaches the line, the line is repaint.
To put it plainly, the old line disappears and a new line appears. The line that disappeared remains as a purged line. (It is also possible to hide the purged line with a parameter)
The alert will be triggered at the moment the line disappears. An alert will be issued when you touch the HTF's liquid pools where the loss is accumulated, so you can notice the stop hunting with the alert.
This alert is an original feature of this indicator.
The timeframe of the HTF can't modify. You can get Monthly, weekly, daily and H1 and H4.
Each timeframe displays the 3 most recent lines. By narrowing it down to 3, it is devised to make it easier to see visually. (This indicator original)
2. Displacement
Change the color display of the candlesticks when a bullish candle stick or bearish candle stick is attached. Furthermore, by enabling the "Require FVG" option, you can easily discover the FVG (Fair Value Gap). It is a very useful function for ICT trading.
3. MSB (market structure break)
Displays High/Low lines for the period specified by the parameter. It is useful for discovering BoS & CHoCH/MSS, which are important in ICT trading.

IC breakoutThis indicator was implemented to detect indecision candles on a daily and 4-hour timeframe.
The settings of the indicator allow you to specify the maximum size (in percentage ) of the indecision candle, as well as the maximum price range (also in percentage ) between the low and the high of that indecision candle.
Moreover, as the title might indicate, the goal was not to only detect the indecision candles, but to get alerts (and information on the graph) when the high or low of an indecision candle is broken on the next block.
The alerts allow both merged and separate alerts.
The alert "1. IC breakout high/low" will be triggered for both a breakout under the previous low or above the previous high
The alert "2. IC breakout low" will be triggered only for a breakout under the previous low
The alert "3. IC breakout high" will be triggered only for breakout above the previous high

HL-D Close Fraction Oscillator | AdulariDescription:
This indicator calculates the difference between price high's and low's, and fractions it by the close price. If it calculates the difference between a high and low or low and high is defined by whether the current close is higher than the previous close. It is then also rescaled to ensure the value is always appropriate compared to the last set amount of bars.
This indicator can be used to determine whether a market is trending or ranging, and if so in which direction it is trending.
How do I use it?
Never use this indicator as standalone trading signal, it should be used as confluence.
When the value is above the middle line this shows the bullish trend is strong.
When the value is below the middle line this shows the bearish trend is strong.
When the value crosses above the upper line this indicates the trend may reverse downwards.
When the value crosses below the lower line this indicates the trend may reverse upwards.
When the value crosses above the signal this indicates the current bearish trend is getting weak and may reverse upwards.
When the value crosses below the signal this indicates the current bullish trend is getting weak and may reverse downwards.
Features:
Oscillator value indicating the difference between highs and lows fractioned by the close price.
Signal indicating a clear trend and base line value.
Horizontal lines such as oversold, overbought and middle lines, indicating possible interest zones.
How does it work?
1 — Define trend by checking if current close is above or below previous close.
2 — If the current close is above the previous close, calculate the oscillator's value using this formula:
(high - low) / close
2 — If the current close is below the previous close, calculate the oscillator's value using this formula:
(low - high) / close
3 — Smooth the original value using a specified moving average.
4 — Rescale the value using this formula:
newMin + (newMax - newMin) * (value - oldMin) / math.max(oldMax - oldMin, 10e-10)
5 — Calculate signal value by applying smoothing to the oscillator's value.
Symbols at Highs & LowsFor the chosen symbols (Defaults to XLV, XLF, IWM, QQQ), this displays a table that indicates (by color) if each symbol is at the high or low of day. When used with the main indexes, If all symbols are at highs or lows together, this can be a great indicator that a trend day is occurring in the market. You can customize the indicator to use up to 8 symbols of your choice. You can also customize the appearance so that it only displays an "All symbols are at the Lows/Highs" message. Finally, you can customize the % threshold to use when measuring how close to the high/low of day price needs to be in order to be considered "at high/low of day".
NSDT MA High-LowThis may seem like a pretty basic Moving Average indicator but I haven't seen one that changes the calculation point depending if the market is going up or down.
I've added three EMA's (length of 20) on this sample chart to demonstrate the differences. These are not included with the indicator.
Green, EMA calculated on High
Red, EMA calculated on Low
Yellow, EMA calculated on Close (default)
Blue, EMA calculated on HIGH when rising but on LOW when falling. (looks at 3 candles back to gauge direction)
* * * Note you can choose between 5 different Moving Average types
Notice how the Blue line (when going up it's calculated on the High) is catching up to the Green line (which is already calculated on the High)?
Notice how the Blue line (when going down so it's calculated on the Low) is catching up to the Red line (which is already calculated on the Low)?
This gives a faster response in the direction of the market because it switches between calculating on the High or Low based on market direction.

EMA bands + leledc + bollinger bands trend following strategy v2The basics:
In its simplest form, this strategy is a positional trend following strategy which enters long when price breaks out above "middle" EMA bands and closes or flips short when price breaks down below "middle" EMA bands. The top and bottom of the middle EMA bands are calculated from the EMA of candle highs and lows, respectively.
The idea is that entering trades on breakouts of the high EMAs and low EMAs rather than the typical EMA based on candle closes gives a bit more confirmation of trend strength and minimizes getting chopped up. To further reduce getting chopped up, the strategy defaults to close on crossing the opposite EMA band (ie. long on break above high EMA middle band and close below low EMA middle band).
This strategy works on all markets on all timeframes, but as a trend following strategy it works best on markets prone to trending such as crypto and tech stocks. On lower timeframes, longer EMAs tend to work best (I've found good results on EMA lengths even has high up to 1000), while 4H charts and above tend to work better with EMA lengths 21 and below.
As an added filter to confirm the trend, a second EMA can be used. Inputting a slower EMA filter can ensure trades are entered in accordance with longer term trends, inputting a faster EMA filter can act as confirmation of breakout strength.
Bar coloring can be enabled to quickly visually identify a trend's direction for confluence with other indicators or strategies.
The goods:
Waiting for the trend to flip before closing a trade (especially when a longer base EMA is used) often leaves money on the table. This script combines a number of ways to identify when a trend is exhausted for backtesting the best early exits.
"Delayed bars inside middle bands" - When a number of candle's in a row open and close between the middle EMA bands, it could be a sign the trend is weak, or that the breakout was not the start of a new trend. Selecting this will close out positions after a number of bars has passed
"Leledc bars" - Originally introduced by glaz, this is a price action indicator that highlights a candle after a number of bars in a row close the same direction and result in greatest high/low over a period. It often triggers when a strong trend has paused before further continuation, or it marks the end of a trend. To mitigate closing on false Leledc signals, this strategy has two options: 1. Introducing requirement for increased volume on the Leledc bars can help filter out Leledc signals that happen mid trend. 2. Closing after a number of Leledc bars appear after position opens. These two options work great in isolation but don't perform well together in my testing.
"Bollinger Bands exhaustion bars" - These bars are highlighted when price closes back inside the Bollinger Bands and RSI is within specified overbought/sold zones. The idea is that a trend is overextended when price trades beyond the Bollinger Bands. When price closes back inside the bands it's likely due for mean reversion back to the base EMA in which this strategy will ideally re-enter a position. Since the added RSI requirements often make this indicator too strict to trigger a large enough sample size to backtest, I've found it best to use "non-standard" settings for both the bands and the RSI as seen in the default settings.
"Buy/Sell zones" - Similar to the idea behind using Bollinger Bands exhaustion bars as a closing signal. Instead of calculating off of standard deviations, the Buy/Sell zones are calculated off multiples of the middle EMA bands. When trading beyond these zones and subsequently failing back inside, price may be due for mean reversion back to the base EMA. No RSI filter is used for Buy/Sell zones.
If any early close conditions are selected, it's often worth enabling trade re-entry on "middle EMA band bounce". Instead of waiting for a candle to close back inside the middle EMA bands, this feature will re-enter position on only a wick back into the middle bands as will sometimes happen when the trend is strong.
Any and all of the early close conditions can be combined. Experimenting with these, I've found can result in less net profit but higher win-rates and sharpe ratios as less time is spent in trades.
The deadly:
The trend is your friend. But wouldn't it be nice to catch the trends early? In ranging markets (or when using slower base EMAs in this strategy), waiting for confirmation of a breakout of the EMA bands at best will cause you to miss half the move, at worst will result in getting consistently chopped up. Enabling "counter-trend" trades on this strategy will allow the strategy to enter positions on the opposite side of the EMA bands on either a Leledc bar or Bollinger Bands exhaustion bar. There is a filter requiring either a high/low (for Leledc) or open (for BB bars) outside the selected inner or outer Buy/Sell zone. There are also a number of different close conditions for the counter-trend trades to experiment with and backtest.
There are two ways I've found best to use counter-trend trades
1. Mean reverting scalp trades when a trend is clearly overextended. Selecting from the first 5 counter-trend closing conditions on the dropdown list will usually close the trades out quickly, with less profit but less risk.
2. Trying to catch trends early. Selecting any of the close conditions below the first 5 can cause the strategy to behave as if it's entering into a new trend (from the wrong side).
This feature can be deadly effective in profiting from every move price makes, or deadly to the strategy's PnL if not set correctly. Since counter-trend trades open opposite the middle bands, a stop-loss is recommended to reduce risk. If stop-losses for counter-trend trades are disabled, the strategy will hold a position open often until liquidation in a trending market if th trade is offsides. Note that using a slower base EMA makes counter-trend stop-losses even more necessary as it can reduce the effectiveness of the Buy/Sell zone filter for opening the trades as price can spend a long time trending outside the zones. If faster EMAs (34 and below) are used with "Inner" Buy/Zone filter selected, the first few closing conditions will often trigger almost immediately closing the trade at a loss.
The niche:
I've added a feature to default into longs or shorts. Enabling these with other features (aside from the basic long/short on EMA middle band breakout) tends to break the strategy one way or another. Enabling default long works to simulate trying to acquire more of the asset rather than the base currency. Enabling default short can have positive results for those high FDV, high inflation coins that go down-only for months at a time. Otherwise, I use default short as a hedge for coins that I hold and stake spot. I gain the utility and APR of staking while reducing the risk of holding the underlying asset by maintaining a net neutral position *most* of the time.
Disclaimer:
This script is intended for experimenting and backtesting different strategies around EMA bands. Use this script for your live trading at your own risk. I am a rookie coder, as such there may be errors in the code that cause the strategy to behave not as intended. As far as I can tell it doesn't repaint, but I cannot guarantee that it does not. That being said if there's any question, improvements, or errors you've found, drop a comment below!
Volume Adaptive Chikou Scalping StudyIDEA PLACEMENT
This indicator uses “Chikou” cross concept of Ichimoku cloud indicator and enhances usage of High/Low data with Volume Breakout and Volatility based dynamic adaption.
I’ve been working on making Moving Averages more adaptive based on Volume Breakout and Volatility but as we know Mas work better on close values. I wanted to create a study that may have maximum data available and that’s how I came up with the concept of making adaptive Ichimoku Cloud. Except, I used different concept than Ichimoku. As we know that Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen from Ichimoku Cloud average out highest and lowest values within 26 and 9 period respectively but I tried making it Volume Breakout and Volatility based Adaptive but couldn’t get better results.
Along the way I came up with an idea of instead of averaging out just keeping the High/Low values data separate and intact and to do so I took Linear regression of High values of Volume Breakout and Volatility based Adaptive dynamic period and similarly with Low values.
Then the strategy was to use Chikou for crossover and crossunder indication and for this purpose I used Chikou with same dynamic length as used before in High/Low linear regression.
The idea becomes simple as when Adaptive Dynamic Chikou crosses Adaptive Dynamic Linear Regression of High/Low values then Lowest / Highest value within current Adaptive Dynamic Length becomes the next Support / Resistance.
SIGNALS
Not every Chikou cross would give signal instead signal should be supported by either Volume Breakout or Volatility whatever you have selected from.
FIBONACCI EVELOPE BANDS
I’ve included ATR based Fibonacci multiple bands which would act as good support/resistance zones.
DEFAULT SETTINGS
I’ve set default Minimum length to 20 and Maximum length to 50 which I’ve found works best for almost all timeframes but you can change this delta to adpat your timeframe accordingly with more precision.
Dynamic length adoption is enabled based on both Volume and Volatility but only one or none of them can also be selected.
Trend signals verification is enabled based on Volume but Volatility can also be enabled for more precise confirmations.
In “RVSI” settings TFS Volume Oscillator is set to default but others work good too especially Volume Zone Oscillator. For more details about Volume Breakout you can check “MZ RVSI Indicator”
ATR breakout is set to be true if period 14 exceeds period 46 but can be changed if more adaption with volatility is required.
FURTHER ENHANCEMENTS
I’ve used Linear Regression of High/Low values because I found better results with it but SMA and HMA can also be used. I’m planning to perpetually use this study for Dynamically length adaption and trades confirmations in other strategies.
Jeges JigsThis is a combination of all my old indicators, with an added feature for trend lines (inspiration for this came from Wedge Maker script thanks to veryfid, I hope he doesn't mind).
This script looks for a period with increased volatility , as measured by ATR ( Average True Range ), then it looks for a high or a low in that area.
When price is above EMA (400 is default, can be changed), it looks for the highs and adds multiples of ATR to the high. Default values for multipliers are 3,9 and 27, meaning that the script will show 3xATR level above the high, 9xATR above the high and 27xATR above the high.
When price is below EMA it looks for the lows and subtracts multiples of ATR from the low.The script will show 3xATR level below the low, 9xATR below the low and 27xATR below the low.
Multipliers values can be changed as well, making it a versatile tool that shows potential levels of suppport/resistance based on the volatility .
Possible use cases:
Breakout trading, when price crosses a certain level, it may show potential profit targets for trades opened at a breakout.
Stoploss helper. Many traders use ATR for their stoplosses, 1 ATR below the swing low for long trades and 1 ATR above the swing high for short trades are common values used by many traders. In this case, the Lookback value comes handy, if we want to look maybe at a more recent value for swing high/low point.
It highlights ATR peaks, it also displays Bollinger bands of SMA400 (or Ema), breakouts for upper/lower bands.
Another thing you get is Parabolic SAR and Zigzag based on SAR.
ATR Mark Up/DownThis script looks for a period with increased volatility, as measured by ATR (Average True Range), then it looks for a high or a low in that area.
When price is above EMA (200 is default, can be changed), it looks for the highs and adds multiples of ATR to the high. Default values for multipliers are 3,9 and 27, meaning that the script will show 3xATR level above the high, 9xATR above the high and 27xATR above the high.
When price is below EMA it looks for the lows and subtracts multiples of ATR from the low.The script will show 3xATR level below the low, 9xATR below the low and 27xATR below the low.
Multipliers values can be changed as well, making it a versatile tool that shows potential levels of suppport/resistance based on the volatility.
Possible use cases:
Breakout trading, when price crosses a certain level, it may show potential profit targets for trades opened at a breakout.
Stoploss helper. Many traders use ATR for their stoplosses, 1 ATR below the swing low for long trades and 1 ATR above the swing high for short trades are common values used by many traders. In this case, the Lookback value comes handy, if we want to look maybe at a more recent value for swing high/low point.
The levels shown by this indicator are not guaranteed to be or not to be reached by price, these levels should be used in confluence with other indicators and looked at as a visual helper.
That's all, hope you enjoy it!
PS.
*It does not plot the ATR. I don't know how to do it and IF it can be done
** It does not plot the EMA. If necessary,it can be added in a future update
Multi Level ZigZag Harmonic PatternsLets make things bit complicated.
Main difference between this script and the earlier Multi Zigzag Harmonic Pattern is the calculation logic of Zigzag 2, 3 and 4
In the earlier script, all zigzags were plain and were calculated on the basis of different lengths. (Such as 5, 10, 15, 20). These were derived on the basis of Multi Zigzag indicator
In this script, Zigzag 2, 3 and 4 are calculated in slightly different way. They are calculated on the basis of previous zigzag. This means, Zigzag 1 will be the input for Zigzag2 calculation and Zigzag 2 will be the input for Zigzag3 and so on. This is demonstrated in the script - Multi Level Zigzag
One important parameter which is specific to this script is: UseZigZagChain
If checked:
Zigzag2 is formed based on Zigzag1
Zigzag3 is formed based on Zigzag2
Zigzag4 is formed based on Zigzag3
This can lead to patterns covering huge number of candles as this chaining causes exponential effect in each levels. (Effective length grows exponentially in each level)
If unchecked:
Zigzag2 is formed based on Zigzag1 (Same as when checked)
Zigzag3 is formed based on Zigzag1. But, length is set to zigzag2Length + zigzag3Length
Zigzag4 is formed based on Zigzag1. But, length is set to zigzag2Length + zigzag3Length + zigzag4Length
This reduces exponential increase of zigzag lengths over next levels.
Logical ratios of patterns are coded as below:

Strongholds - Objective & Accurate Reference Points / StructuresVery early in my trading career, I came across Pivot Points only to find out that there are as many calculations as one pleases. It was hard to find out which ones work. Most of them probably did only out of randomness, so I ditched the strategy and looked for something else.
I previously used my Oracle Eye and Reference Points scripts but it is time for an upgrade.
Stronghold is a script I have used for quite some time now. I ditched daily and weekly closing prices as not that important. Instead, Strongholds are equipped with:
►Daily High & Low • Azure color
►Weekly High & Low • Dark blue
►Weekly old High & Low • Semi-transparent dark circles
►Monthly High & Low • Wizardly purple
There is an option to print:
►4h High & Low • Semi-transparent red
►VWAP • Lovely purple
►Weekly VWAP • Black
All of the levels and lines are set for 1m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, 1D timeframes. If you use any alien timeframe, you may need to enter the code.
You can opt-in and out for certain timeframes. For example, daily levels are visible from 15m or 30, so the indicator won't draw them unless you want to. However, they will not be seen on higher timeframes as there is no reason to show them and oversaturate the chart with lines.

Remember that if you use this script with auto-scale, you need to tick Scale Price Chart Only . Otherwise, your chart will fly to the moon!
Good luck & have fun!
TSI Strength Meter vs USD with divergenceThis indicator consists of two lines. One is a gray line (USD) and the asset indicator is green or red.
The basis of this indicator is the true strength indicator (TSI) with parameters 5,15. Both line sets are based on a TSI (5,15).
The lookback period is for new highs / new lows. Default value is 200 periods.
GREEN/RED LINE
The first that is green and red is whatever you choose to display ( BTC in this case).
The green and red lines indicate going up or going down.
GRAY LINE
The gray line is the US Dollar . So everything is relative to that by default.
ZERO LINE CROSSES
These are momentum shifts. If you see a crossover of both around the zero line, its a good indication there is a change in momentum and a reversal of trend.
NEW HIGHS NEW LOWS
There are 4 new colors added to this indicator. For the asset you are viewing, a lime color means new highs within the lookback period. A new low is indicated by a yellow line color.
The new lows for the USD are white for new lows within the lookback period and blue line for the new highs.
DIVERGENCE
You can also spot divergences easily. For example, if a lime color is seen on the indicator line, that means "new high" but if it occurs below the last "new high" it means the asset is going up to new highs but the indicator is showing us that the readings are below the previous new highs, indicating a negative divergence.
The same goes for the yellow colored lines. higher yellows mean positive divergence.
And with the US Dollar , blue lines dropping means a negative divergence in the US Dollar , while white lines moving up means a positive dollar divergence.
INTERPRETATION
Examples:
If you see a green and sometimes red line of the asset indicator and a gray line that drops below the zero line; it may mean the asset is rising and the trend is up.
If you see a green and red line below the zero line and with a gray line above the zero line , it indicates there is a negative trend. If you suddenly see blue lines on the USD, this means its hitting new lows. If these blue lines then start to slowly move downwards; then we have a positive divergence. If that were to be followed by the green line crossing the zero line, its a pretty good be that the trend is changing and its a very good buying oportunity.
Cumulative Pivot HighLowThis indicator counts number of higher highs/lows and number of lower highs/lows and calculates trend based on that.
Indicator line shows (sum of higher highs/lows - sum of lower highs/lows) derived from last loopback periods. Indicator is green if last two consecutive highs/lows formed are on higher side. Red if on lower side. (Consecutive numbers can be controlled by parameter direction_threshold )
combineHighsAndLows if unselected shows not cumulative version but last consecutive highs and lows marked in red or green according to the trend.
