Pivot S/R with Volatility Filter## *📌 Indicator Purpose*
This indicator identifies *key support/resistance levels* using pivot points while also:
✅ Detecting *high-volume liquidity traps* (stop hunts)
✅ Filtering insignificant pivots via *ATR (Average True Range) volatility*
✅ Tracking *test counts and breakouts* to measure level strength
---
## *⚙ SETTINGS – Detailed Breakdown*
### *1️⃣ ◆ General Settings*
#### *🔹 Pivot Length*
- *Purpose:* Determines how many bars to analyze when identifying pivots.
- *Usage:*
- *Low values (5-20):* More pivots, better for scalping.
- *High values (50-200):* Fewer but stronger levels for swing trading.
- *Example:*
- Pivot Length = 50 → Only the most significant highs/lows over 50 bars are marked.
#### *🔹 Test Threshold (Max Test Count)*
- *Purpose:* Sets how many times a level can be tested before being invalidated.
- *Example:*
- Test Threshold = 3 → After 3 tests, the level is ignored (likely to break).
#### *🔹 Zone Range*
- *Purpose:* Creates a price buffer around pivots (±0.001 by default).
- *Why?* Markets often respect "zones" rather than exact prices.
---
### *2️⃣ ◆ Volatility Filter (ATR)*
#### *🔹 ATR Period*
- *Purpose:* Smoothing period for Average True Range calculation.
- *Default:* 14 (standard for volatility measurement).
#### *🔹 ATR Multiplier (Min Move)*
- *Purpose:* Requires pivots to show *meaningful price movement*.
- *Formula:* Min Move = ATR × Multiplier
- *Example:*
- ATR = 10 pips, Multiplier = 1.5 → Only pivots with *15+ pip swings* are valid.
#### *🔹 Show ATR Filter Info*
- Displays current ATR and minimum move requirements on the chart.
---
### *3️⃣ ◆ Volume Analysis*
#### *🔹 Volume Change Threshold (%)*
- *Purpose:* Filters for *unusual volume spikes* (institutional activity).
- *Example:*
- Threshold = 1.2 → Requires *120% of average volume* to confirm signals.
#### *🔹 Volume MA Period*
- *Purpose:* Lookback period for "normal" volume calculation.
---
### *4️⃣ ◆ Wick Analysis*
#### *🔹 Wick Length Threshold (Ratio)*
- *Purpose:* Ensures rejection candles have *long wicks* (strong reversals).
- *Formula:* Wick Ratio = (Upper Wick + Lower Wick) / Candle Range
- *Example:*
- Threshold = 0.6 → 60% of the candle must be wicks.
#### *🔹 Min Wick Size (ATR %)*
- *Purpose:* Filters out small wicks in volatile markets.
- *Example:*
- ATR = 20 pips, MinWickSize = 1% → Wicks under *0.2 pips* are ignored.
---
### *5️⃣ ◆ Display Settings*
- *Show Zones:* Toggles support/resistance shaded areas.
- *Show Traps:* Highlights liquidity traps (▲/▼ symbols).
- *Show Tests:* Displays how many times levels were tested.
- *Zone Transparency:* Adjusts opacity of zones.
---
## *🎯 Practical Use Cases*
### *1️⃣ Liquidity Trap Detection*
- *Scenario:* Price spikes *above resistance* then reverses sharply.
- *Requirements:*
- Long wick (Wick Ratio > 0.6)
- High volume (Volume > Threshold)
- *Outcome:* *Short Trap* signal (▼) appears.
### *2️⃣ Strong Support Level*
- *Scenario:* Price bounces *3 times* from the same level.
- *Indicator Action:*
- Labels the level with test count (3/5 = 3 tests out of max 5).
- Turns *red* if broken (Break Count > 0).

Breakouts with timefilter [LuciTech]Here's the updated description with "colors" replaced by "colours" throughout, maintaining the original structure and content:
Breaking Point 2.0
This is a technical analysis overlay indicator designed to identify breakout levels based on pivot highs and lows, with a focus on price action during customizable time windows using London time (UK). It draws horizontal lines at pivot points and plots signals when price breaks above or below these levels, offering traders a tool to monitor potential bullish or bearish movements. The indicator includes options for time filtering and displaying only the most recent breakout.
Features
The Pivot Breakout Lines display horizontal lines at detected pivot highs (bullish) and pivot lows (bearish), coloured green and red by default. These lines extend from the pivot point to the breakout bar and can be set to show only the latest breakout.
The Breakout Signals mark bullish breakouts with an upward triangle below the bar and bearish breakouts with a downward triangle above the bar, using customizable colours.
The Time Filter restricts signals and lines to a specific window (default: 14:30–15:00 UK), which can be toggled on or off. A shaded background highlights this period when enabled.
How It Works
The indicator calculates pivot highs and lows using a user-defined lookback period (default: 5 bars). When price closes above a pivot high, it triggers a bullish signal and draws a line from the pivot to the breakout bar. When price closes below a pivot low, it triggers a bearish signal with a corresponding line.
If the time filter is active, signals and lines only appear within the specified window. Outside this period—or if the filter is disabled—they appear based solely on price action. The indicator maintains up to three recent pivots in memory, removing older ones as new pivots form.
Alerts are available for both bullish and bearish breakouts, triggered when signals occur.
Settings
Length controls the lookback period for pivot detection (default: 5).
Colours Bull/Bear sets the colours for bullish (default: green) and bearish (default: red) lines and signals.
Show Last Breakout toggles whether only the most recent breakout line and signal are displayed (default: false).
Time Filter enables or disables the time restriction (default: true).
Fill Background toggles a shaded area during the time window (default: true), with a customizable colour.
Time Settings define the start hour/minute and end hour/minute for the filter (default: 14:30–15:00).
Interpretation
The Pivot Breakout Lines highlight levels where price has previously reversed, potentially acting as support or resistance. A breakout above a pivot high may suggest bullish momentum, while a breakout below a pivot low may indicate bearish pressure.
The Breakout Signals provide visual cues for these events, useful for timing entries or exits. When "Show Last Breakout" is enabled, the chart focuses on the most recent signal, reducing clutter.
The Time Filter and background shading help traders concentrate on specific trading sessions, such as high-volatility periods. When disabled, the indicator tracks breakouts across all times.

Central Pivot Range (CPR)Central Pivot Range (CPR) Indicator
The Central Pivot Range (CPR) indicator is designed to help traders identify key levels of support and resistance based on pivot points calculated from the previous day's price action. The CPR levels act as critical areas of price convergence and potential reversal, which can help in anticipating future price movements. This version of the CPR indicator includes customizable features to enhance your trading strategy.
Key Features:
Custom Timeframe Support: The indicator allows you to select a custom timeframe for calculating the CPR levels. By default, it uses the daily timeframe ('D'), but you can adjust it to any other timeframe of your choosing. The indicator calculates the CPR and support/resistance levels based on the data from the selected timeframe.
Central Pivot (CP), Below Central Pivot (BC), and Top Central Pivot (TC):
Pivot (CP): The central pivot point is calculated as the average of the high, low, and close prices of the selected timeframe.
Below Central Pivot (BC): This is the midpoint between the high and low prices of the selected timeframe.
Top Central Pivot (TC): This is calculated based on the central pivot and below central pivot, providing a range between support and resistance levels.
Support and Resistance Levels (S1, S2, S3, R1, R2, R3):
Support Levels (S1, S2, S3): These are calculated based on the central pivot, providing potential areas where price may find support and reverse.
Resistance Levels (R1, R2, R3): These are calculated similarly but indicate potential resistance zones where price may face challenges to move higher.
Dynamic Plotting Based on User Input:
The indicator allows you to choose which levels to display on the chart, including the Central Pivot (CP), Support Levels (S1, S2, S3), and Resistance Levels (R1, R2, R3), all of which can be toggled on or off via checkboxes.
CP is displayed in white, BC and TC in blue, Support levels (S1, S2, S3) in green, and Resistance levels (R1, R2, R3) in red.
Daywise Calculations:
The CPR and levels are based on the previous day’s price action, providing historical support and resistance levels that can be useful for intraday analysis.
The request.security function is used to fetch the pivot data from the custom timeframe, ensuring the levels are calculated based on the last completed period (previous day) without repainting.
Customization Options:
CPR Plot: Toggle the visibility of the central pivot range (CPR) lines.
Support Levels (S1, S2, S3): Choose to show or hide the support levels.
Resistance Levels (R1, R2, R3): Choose to show or hide the resistance levels.
Custom Timeframe: Set a custom timeframe for calculating the CPR, allowing for more flexible and tailored analysis.
Hosoda ProjectionsThis script, written in Pine Script v5, introduces a technical analysis tool called "Hosoda Projections." Inspired by Ichimoku Kinkō Hyō and wave-based forecasting methods, this indicator helps traders visualize potential future price levels using a combination of pivot detection and projected price movements. It offers a unique way to anticipate market dynamics and define potential targets, making it particularly useful for those who seek to combine historical price patterns with forward-looking strategies.
The script works by detecting key pivot points in the market using a customizable lookback period and then calculating a ZigZag pattern based on price fluctuations that exceed a specified percentage threshold. These pivots are used to identify three recent swing points, which serve as the foundation for projecting possible future price levels. Using these swings, the script generates levels that correspond to Fibonacci-based extensions and projections, such as 38.2%, 61.8%, 100%, 161.8%, and additional extensions like 261.8% and 361.8%. These levels are visualized on the chart as horizontal lines and labeled with their respective values for easy interpretation.
The primary advantage of the Hosoda Projections script is its ability to provide a structured approach to identifying potential price targets. By leveraging the natural rhythm of price movements, it offers insights into where the market might find support or resistance in the future. This can help traders refine their entry and exit points, manage risk more effectively, and gain a deeper understanding of market sentiment. Additionally, the dynamic nature of the projections adapts to new price data, ensuring the tool remains relevant across changing market conditions.
This script is particularly valuable for traders who appreciate the harmony between historical price action and predictive analysis. Whether you are trading forex, stocks, or cryptocurrencies, the Hosoda Projections tool can enhance your trading strategy by providing actionable and visually intuitive forecasts.
Advanced Stochastic [CryptoSea]The Advanced Stochastic Indicator is a sophisticated tool designed to enhance market analysis through detailed stochastic calculations. This tool is built for traders who seek to identify market divergences and pivot points with higher accuracy.
Key Features
Multi-Layer Stochastic Analysis: Tracks both standard and smoothed stochastic values to provide a granular view of market momentum.
Divergence Detection: Automatically detects both regular and hidden bullish and bearish divergences, offering critical insights into potential market reversals.
Adaptive Oscillator Display: Features customizable display options for the stochastic oscillator, allowing traders to view data in Default, Histogram, or Both modes.
Customizable Lookback Periods: Users can set specific lookback periods for divergence analysis and stochastic calculations, tailoring the tool to fit various trading strategies.
In the example below, there is a bearish divergence above 0. You would first want the stoch to break below the 0 level as a show of strength, this would be an aggressive entry, a higher probability option would be to wait for the stoch to retest and reject from 0 which is what we have a few candles later.
How it Works
Stochastic Calculation: Computes the stochastic oscillator by smoothing the %K line over a user-defined period, then applying a second smoothing for the %D line.
Pivot Point Analysis: Utilizes advanced algorithms to find low and high pivot points based on the oscillator values, crucial for spotting trend reversals.
Colour-Coded Divergence Alerts: Utilizes color codes to highlight divergence signals directly on the chart, aiding in quick visual analysis.
Responsive Threshold Settings: Includes options to adjust the sensitivity of divergence detection, ensuring that only significant divergences are highlighted.
In the example below, we have 2 divergence signals. The first a bullish one which fails to break above 0. The second signal is given above 0 so you would want a retest and a show of strength when the stoch returns to 0 but it fails to hold. Both of these divergence signals are invalidated.
Application
Strategic Decision-Making: Assists traders in making informed decisions by providing detailed analysis of stochastic movements and divergence.
Trend Confirmation: Reinforces trading strategies by confirming potential reversals with pivot point detection and divergence analysis.
Customized Analysis: Adapts to various trading styles with extensive input settings that control the display and sensitivity of oscillator data.
The Advanced Stochastic Indicator by is an invaluable addition to a trader's toolkit, offering depth and precision in market trend analysis to navigate complex market conditions effectively.
Pivots and SwingsThis indicator displays simple pivots of varying degrees and connects them into swings whilst displaying the information of each swing.
First order pivot highs are confirmed when the N number of bars each side of the bar in question have a lower high whilst a first order pivot low is confirmed when the N number of bars on each side of the bar in question have a higher low. In this script N is set to 2 as a default, so when the middle bar of a set of 5 bars has the highest high, then it is considered a first order pivot high and vice versa for lows.
Second order pivot highs are confirmed when a first order pivot is higher than the first order pivot points on either side of the pivot point in question. Second order pivot lows are confirmed when a first order pivot low is lower than the first order pivot lows either side of the pivot in question.
Third order pivots follow the same logic but consider the highest and lowest second order pivots
A quick note on how the bars are coloured basis trends. If price breaks through the last first order pivot high, the bars will be coloured in a (default) green sequence and will stay green until price moves back below the most recent first order pivot low, at which time it will revert to a (default) red sequence.
The information about the duration and magnitude of the swings are displayed in an effort to identify when a swing leg of an overall trend may be shortening which signifies a weakening trend, or lengthening to signify a trend that is gaining in strength.
I hope you find this indicator useful!

Net Positions (Net Longs & Net Shorts) - By LeviathanThis script is an experimental indicator that visualizes the entering and exiting of long and short positions in the market. It also includes other useful tools, such as NL/NS Profile, NL/NS Delta, NL/NS Ratio, Volume Heatmap, Divergence finder, Relative Strength Index of Net Longs and Net Shorts, EMAs and VWMAs and more.
To avoid misinterpretation, it's important to understand some basics. The “real” ratio between net long and net short positions in a given market is always 1:1. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an underlying asset at an agreed-upon price. Each contract has a long side and a short side, with one party agreeing to buy (long) and the other party agreeing to sell (short) the asset at the agreed-upon price. The long position holder anticipates that the asset's price will rise, while the short position holder expects it to fall. Because every futures contract involves both a buyer and a seller, it is impossible to have more net longs than net shorts or vice versa (in terms of the net value). For every long position opened, there must be a corresponding short position taken by another market participant (and vice versa), thus maintaining the 1:1 ratio between longs and shorts. While there can be an imbalance in the number of traders/accounts holding long and short contracts, the net value of positions held on each side remains 1 to 1.
Open Interest (OI) is a metric that tracks the number of open (unsettled) contracts in a given market. For example, Open Interest of 100 BTC means that there are currently 100 BTC worth of longs and 100 BTC worth of shorts open in the market. There may be more traders on one side holding smaller positions, and fewer traders on the other side holding larger positions, but the net value of positions on one side is equal to the net value of positions on the other side → 100 BTC in longs and 100 BTC in shorts (1:1). Consider a scenario in which a trader decides to open a long position for 1 BTC at a price of HKEX:30 ,000. For this long order to be executed, a counterparty must take the opposite side of the contract by placing an order to short 1 BTC at the same price of HKEX:30 ,000. When both the long and short orders are matched and executed, the open interest increases by 1 BTC, reflecting the addition of this new contract to the market.
Changes in Open Interest essentially tell us 3 things:
- OI Increase - new positions entered the market (both longs and shorts!)
- OI Decrease - positions exited the market (both longs and shorts!)
- OI Flat - no change in open positions due to low activity or simply lots of transfers of contracts
However, different concepts can be used to analyze sentiment, aggressiveness, and activity in the market by analyzing data such as Open Interest, price, volume, etc. This indicator combines Open Interest data and price action to simplify the visualization of positions entering and exiting the market. It is based on the following concept:
Increase in Open Interest + Increase in price = Longs Opening
Decrease in Open Interest + Decrease in price = Longs Closing
Increase in Open Interest + Decrease in price = Shorts Opening
Decrease in Open Interest + Increase in price = Shorts Closing
When "Longs Opening" occurs, the OI Delta value is added to the running total of Net Longs, and when "Longs Closing" occurs, the OI Delta value is subtracted from the running total of Net Longs.
When "Shorts Opening" occurs, the OI Delta value is added to the running total of Net Shorts, and when "Shorts Closing" occurs, the OI Delta value is subtracted from the running total of Net Shorts.
To summarize:
Net Longs: Cumulative value of Longs Opening and Longs Closing (LO - LC)
Net Shorts: Cumulative value of Shorts Opening and Shorts Closing (SO - SC)
Net Delta: Net Longs - Net Shorts
Net Ratio: Net Longs / Net Shorts

Gann FanHello All,
For long time I have been getting many requests about Gann Fan indicator. now we have linefill() function in Pine Language and I think it's right time to make Gann Fan Indicator. Many Thanks to Pine Team for adding many new features to the Pine Language!
How this indicator works:
- It calculates midline (1/1)
- By using midline it calculates other lines (1/2, 1/3, 1/4...etc)
- It calculates highest/lowest Pivot Points in last 280 bars.( by default it's 280 bars, you can change it and pivot period )
- It checks the location of highest/lowest Pivot Points
- After the calculation of the Gann Fan lines, it draws lines, puts Labels and paints the zones between the lines according to the colors set by the user
Long time ago I created a special algorithm for calculating the line with 45 degree and I used it for "1/1" line. Anybody who needs it can use this algorithm freely ;)
Options:
You can change following items;
- The colors
- Transparency. Possible values for transparency are from 0 (not transparent) to 100 (invisible)
- Line styles
- Loopback Period (by default it's 280)
- Pivot Period (by default it's 5)
- Enable/disable Labels
- Label location (by default it's 50
Tradingview Gann Fan page : The Gann Fan is a technical analysis tool created by WD Gann. The tool is comprised of 9 diagonal lines (extending indefinitely) designed to show different support and resistance levels on a chart. These angles -drawn from main tops and bottoms- divide time and price into proportionate parts and are often used to predict areas of support and resistance, key tops and bottoms and future price moves. Please note that the chart needs to be scaled properly to ensure the market has a square relationship....
Enjoy!
Pivot and liquidation lines [LM]Hello traders,
I would like to introduce you pivot and liquidation zones. Levels are rendered based on pivot points. We are looking for confluence of liquidation lines in order to have the gist where the market could go. calculation for the liquidation lines are taken from Bybit. It's good to look for line clusters. Indicator doesn't tell you where the market will go but it tells you where are the potential zones of position liquidations
There are several settings:
pivot setting - ordinary pivot lines setting
first leverage - setting for first leverage
second leverage - setting for second leverage
third leverage - setting for first leverage
fourth leverage - setting for second leverage
Hope you will enjoy it.
VMDivergencesTH Volume Momentum Divergences - How It Works
🎯 Overview
This indicator detects divergences between price action and a custom momentum oscillator. Divergences occur when price moves one direction while momentum moves the opposite direction — often signaling potential reversals or trend continuations.
⚙️ The Hidden Oscillator Engine
The oscillator runs in the background (not plotted on chart) and combines two components:
Component 1: Momentum (MACD-style)
Momentum = Fast EMA(12) - Slow EMA(26)
Measures the difference between a fast and slow exponential moving average. Positive = bullish momentum, Negative = bearish momentum.
Component 2: Bollinger Band Distance
Distance = (Price - BB Middle) / Standard Deviation
Measures how far price has strayed from its "normal" range. Values > 2 = overbought territory, Values < -2 = oversold territory.
Hybrid Blend
Final Oscillator = (Normalized Momentum × Blend) + (Band Distance × (1 - Blend))
The Momentum Blend setting (default 1.0) controls the mix:
1.0 = Pure momentum (like MACD)
0.0 = Pure band distance (like Bollinger %B)
0.5 = Equal blend of both
🔍 Pivot Detection
The indicator identifies swing highs and swing lows on both:
Price (using high and low)
Oscillator (using the hybrid oscillator value)
How Pivots Are Found
text
Swing High = A bar where the high is higher than X bars on BOTH sides
Swing Low = A bar where the low is lower than X bars on BOTH sides
The Swing Strength setting (default 5) controls how many bars on each side are required:
Lower values (2-3) = More pivots, more signals, more noise
Higher values (7-10) = Fewer pivots, fewer signals, higher quality
🔀 Divergence Types Explained
1. 🟢 Regular Bullish Divergence (Reversal Signal)
Price: Lower Low ↘ (making new lows)
Oscillator: Higher Low ↗ (momentum improving)
Meaning: Price is falling but momentum is building. The selling pressure is weakening — potential bottom forming.
Visual: Green triangle below bar + solid line connecting lows
2. 🔴 Regular Bearish Divergence (Reversal Signal)
text
Price: Higher High ↗ (making new highs)
Oscillator: Lower High ↘ (momentum fading)
Meaning: Price is rising but momentum is declining. The buying pressure is weakening — potential top forming.
Visual: Red triangle above bar + solid line connecting highs
3. 🟡 Hidden Bullish Divergence (Continuation Signal)
text
Price: Higher Low ↗ (holding above previous low)
Oscillator: Lower Low ↘ (momentum dipped)
Meaning: In an uptrend, price made a higher low but oscillator made a lower low. The oscillator "reset" while price held strong — trend likely to continue UP.
Visual: Green diamond below bar + dashed line
4. 🟠 Hidden Bearish Divergence (Continuation Signal)
text
Price: Lower High ↘ (staying below previous high)
Oscillator: Higher High ↗ (momentum bounced)
Meaning: In a downtrend, price made a lower high but oscillator made a higher high. The oscillator bounced but price couldn't — trend likely to continue DOWN.
Visual: Red diamond above bar + dashed line
5. 🔵 Double Bottom with Divergence (Strong Support)
text
Price: Two lows at SIMILAR levels (within ATR tolerance)
Oscillator: Second low HIGHER than first
Meaning: Price tested the same support twice, but momentum was stronger on the second test — buyers defending that level aggressively.
Visual: Cyan circle below bar + dotted line
6. 🟣 Double Top with Divergence (Strong Resistance)
text
Price: Two highs at SIMILAR levels (within ATR tolerance)
Oscillator: Second high LOWER than first
Meaning: Price tested the same resistance twice, but momentum was weaker on the second test — sellers defending that level.
Visual: Purple circle above bar + dotted line
✅ Validation Filters
Not every pivot pair creates a signal. The indicator applies filters:
Filter Purpose
Min Pivot Distance (default 5) Pivots must be at least 5 bars apart — prevents micro-divergences
Max Pivot Distance (default 50) Pivots must be within 50 bars — prevents stale/irrelevant divergences
DTB Tolerance (default 0.3 × ATR) For double top/bottom, price levels must be within 30% of ATR
📊 Visual Elements

Support and ResistanceSupport & Resistance Zones
This indicator automatically identifies support and resistance zones by clustering confirmed pivot highs and lows into statistically valid price areas.
Instead of drawing single horizontal lines, it creates price zones whose width is dynamically controlled using ATR (Average True Range), allowing the zones to adapt to market volatility.
Core Logic
The indicator scans a user-defined number of historical bars and detects pivot highs and pivot lows using a configurable pivot strength.
Each new pivot is evaluated against previously detected zones:
A zone becomes visible only after receiving sufficient confirmation (minimum number of pivot touches).
This ensures that only structurally meaningful levels are drawn.
Zone Construction Rules
Zones are formed by grouping pivot points whose total price range remains within ATR range
Each zone expands dynamically as new pivots confirm it
Zones are drawn as rectangular areas, not lines
Zones extend to the right, remaining active until price structure changes
This approach avoids over-plotting and reduces noise commonly seen in traditional support/resistance tools.
Dynamic Zone Coloring
Zones automatically change color based on current price position:
Support Color → Price is above the zone
Resistance Color → Price is below the zone
Neutral (In-Zone) Color → Price is trading inside the zone
This makes it easy to visually assess market context without additional indicators.
Inputs Explained
Logic Settings
Bars to Apply
Number of historical bars scanned to detect pivots and construct zones.
Pivot Strength
Number of candles required on both sides of a pivot high/low for confirmation.
Min Pivot Confirmation
Minimum number of aligned pivots required before a zone is drawn.
Styling
Support, resistance, and in-zone colors
Zone fill transparency
Why This Approach
Uses price structure, not arbitrary levels
Adapts to market volatility via ATR
Filters out weak, single-touch levels
Works across all markets and timeframes
This indicator is designed to highlight areas of interest, not generate buy or sell signals.
It is best used in combination with trend, momentum, or volume-based tools.
RSI_RDRSI_RD - RSI Divergence Detector (Ryan DeBraal)
This script plots a standard RSI along with advanced automatic divergence detection.
It identifies four types of divergences using pivot logic and configurable
lookback windows. Signals appear directly on the RSI line as plotted marks and labels.
FEATURES
- Standard RSI with user-defined length and source.
- Midline (50), overbought (70), and oversold (30) levels with shaded background.
- Automatic detection of:
• Regular Bullish Divergence
• Regular Bearish Divergence
• Hidden Bullish Divergence
• Hidden Bearish Divergence
- Each divergence type can be toggled on/off individually.
- Pivot-based detection using left/right lookback lengths.
- Range filter (bars since pivot) to avoid stale or invalid divergences.
- Colored markers and labels placed exactly on pivot points.
- Alerts for all four divergence conditions.
PURPOSE
This indicator makes RSI divergence trading systematic and visual.
It highlights when price action disagrees with RSI momentum — often signaling
exhaustion, reversal setups, or continuation opportunities depending on the divergence type.
Ideal for combining with trend filters, VWAP, or ORB structures.
LiquidityThe liquidity swings indicator highlights swing areas with existent trading activity. The number of times price revisited a swing area is highlighted by a zone delimiting the swing areas. Additionally, the accumulated volume within swing areas is highlighted by labels on the chart. An option to filter out swing areas with volume/counts not reaching a user-set threshold is also included.
This indicator by its very nature is not real-time and is meant for descriptive analysis alongside other components of the script. This is normal behavior for scripts detecting pivots as a part of a system and it is important you are aware the pivot labels are not designed to be traded in real-time themselves.
🔶 USAGE
The indicator can be used to highlight significant swing areas, these can be accumulation/distribution zones on lower timeframes and might play a role as future support or resistance.
Swing levels are also highlighted, when a swing level is broken it is displayed as a dashed line. A broken swing high is a bullish indication, while a broken swing low is a bearish indication.
Filtering swing areas by volume allows to only show significant swing areas with an higher degree of liquidity. These swing areas can be wider, highlighting higher volatility, or might have been visited by the price more frequently.
🔶 SETTINGS
Pivot Lookback : Lookback period used for the calculation of pivot points.
Swing Area : Determine how the swing area is calculated, "Wick Extremity" will use the range from price high to the maximum between price close/open in case of a swing high, and the range from price low to the minimum between price close/open in case of a swing low. "Full Range" will use the full candle range as swing area.
Intrabar Precision : Use intrabar data to calculate the accumulated volume within a swing area, this allows obtaining more precise results.
Filter Areas By : Determine how swing areas are filtered out, "Count" will filter out swing areas where price visited the area a number of time inferior to the user set threshold. "Volume" will filter out swing areas where the accumulated volume within the area is inferior to the user set threshold.
🔹 Style
Swing High : Show swing highs.
Swing Low : Show swing lows.
Label Size : Size of the labels on the chart.
Wyckoff Accumulation/Distribution - Enhanced by ChakraWyckoff Accumulation/Distribution - Enhanced Indicator
Overview
An advanced Pine Script v6 indicator that detects Wyckoff accumulation and distribution patterns using RSI-based trend analysis, pivot detection, and volume confirmation. This enhanced version improves upon traditional Wyckoff indicators with cleaner code, English variable names, and additional market structure signals.
Key Features
Wyckoff Phase Detection
Accumulation Phase:
SC (Selling Climax): Bottom pivot with extreme bearish RSI and high volume
AR (Automatic Rally): First bounce after selling climax
ST (Secondary Test): Retest of lows without extreme RSI
SOS (Sign of Strength): Strong bullish breakout with volume confirmation ⭐ NEW
Distribution Phase:
BC (Buying Climax): Top pivot with extreme bullish RSI and high volume
DAR (Automatic Reaction): First drop after buying climax
DST (Distribution Secondary Test): Retest of highs
SOW (Sign of Weakness): Strong bearish breakdown with volume confirmation ⭐ NEW
Market Structure Events
Spring: False breakdown (RSI crosses above lower band) with background highlight
UTAD (Upthrust After Distribution): False breakout (RSI crosses below upper band) with background highlight
Visual Features
Range Boxes: Automatically draws consolidation ranges (gray) that change color on breakout:
🟢 Green = Accumulation (bullish breakout)
🔴 Red = Distribution (bearish breakout)
Pivot Markers: Orange triangles show regular (non-Wyckoff) pivot points
Bar Coloring: Lime bars for bullish trends, purple bars for bearish trends
Color-Coded Labels: All Wyckoff events clearly marked with descriptive text
Customizable Settings
RSI Settings:

Toggle bar coloring by trend
Customize label text color
Advanced Detection:
Volume Confirmation toggle - Require high volume for climax events
Volume Threshold (default: 1.5x) - Adjustable volume multiplier
Alerts
8 comprehensive alert conditions:
Selling Climax (SC)
Buying Climax (BC)
Spring detection
UTAD detection
Sign of Strength (SOS)
Sign of Weakness (SOW)
Range Breakout
Improvements Over Original
✅ Pine Script v6 (latest version)
✅ English variable names (was Turkish)
✅ Fixed DAR label bug (was showing "AR")
✅ Added SOS (Sign of Strength) detection
✅ Added SOW (Sign of Weakness) detection
✅ Optional volume confirmation toggle
✅ Organized input groups for better UX
✅ Enhanced visual options
✅ Comprehensive alert system
✅ Cleaner, more maintainable code structure
Best Use Cases
Timeframes: Works on all timeframes; best on 4H, Daily, or Weekly
Markets: Stocks, Forex, Crypto, Indices
Trading Style: Swing trading, position trading, market structure analysis
Combine With: Support/Resistance, Volume Profile, Order Flow analysis
How It Works
The indicator uses RSI to identify market states (sideways, bullish, bearish) and combines this with pivot point detection and volume analysis to identify key Wyckoff events. When price is ranging (RSI between upper/lower bands), it draws a box. On breakout, the box color changes to indicate accumulation or distribution, helping traders identify smart money positioning.
Tips for Use
Lower Trend Sensitivity (10-15) for more signals in trending markets
Higher Trend Sensitivity (25-30) for clearer signals in choppy markets
Enable Volume Confirmation in high-volume markets (stocks, major crypto)
Disable Volume Confirmation in low-volume or forex markets
Watch for Spring/UTAD events within boxes for potential reversals

BOS & ChoCh Market StructureBOS/ChoCh Market Structure Indicator
This indicator identifies key market structure shifts using Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (ChoCh) signals based on pivot point analysis.
Concept
Break of Structure (BOS) occurs when price breaks through a significant pivot level in the direction of the current trend, signaling trend continuation. A bullish BOS happens when price breaks above a pivot high while in an uptrend, while a bearish BOS occurs when price breaks below a pivot low during a downtrend.
Change of Character (ChoCh) signals a potential trend reversal. It occurs when price breaks against the prevailing trend - breaking above a pivot high while in a downtrend, or breaking below a pivot low while in an uptrend. This indicates the market structure is shifting.
How It Works
The indicator automatically detects swing highs and lows using configurable pivot strength. When price breaks these levels, it plots:
Color-coded labels (cyan for bullish breaks, red for bearish breaks)
Small horizontal lines marking the exact breakout level
Extended lines from pivot points showing key support/resistance levels
Settings
Pivot Strength - Number of candles on each side required to confirm a swing high/low (default: 5). Higher values identify more significant pivots but produce fewer signals.
Breakout Confirmation - Choose whether breakouts require a candle close beyond the level ("Close") or just a wick touch ("Wick").
Show BOS / Show ChoCh - Toggle visibility of Break of Structure and Change of Character signals independently.
Colors - Customize the colors for bullish (cyan) and bearish (red) signals.
Perfect for swing traders and market structure analysis.
Instant Breakout Strategy with RSI & VWAPInstant Breakout Strategy with RSI & VWAP
This TradingView strategy (Pine Script v6) trades breakouts using pivot points, with optional filters for volume, momentum, RSI, and VWAP. It’s optimized for the 1-second timeframe.
Overview
The strategy identifies breakouts when price crosses above resistance (pivot highs) or below support (pivot lows). It can use basic pivot breakouts or add filters for stronger signals. Take-profit and stop-loss levels are set using ATR, and signals are shown on the chart.
Inputs
Left/Right Pivot Bars: Bars to detect pivots (default: 3). Lower values increase sensitivity.
Volume Surge Multiplier: Volume threshold vs. 20-period average (default: 1.5).
Momentum Threshold: Minimum % price change from bar open (default: 1%).
Take-Profit ATR Multiplier: ATR multiplier for take-profit (default: 9.0).
Stop-Loss ATR Multiplier: ATR multiplier for stop-loss (default: 1.0).
Use Filters: Enable/disable volume, momentum, RSI, and VWAP filters (default: off).
How It Works
1. Pivot Detection
Finds pivot highs (resistance) and lows (support) using ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow.
Tracks the latest pivot levels.
2. Volume Surge
Compares current volume to a 20-period volume average.
A surge occurs if volume exceeds the average times the multiplier.
3. Momentum
Measures price change from the bar’s open.
Bullish: Price rises >1% from open.
Bearish: Price falls >1% from open.
4. RSI and VWAP
RSI: 3-period RSI. Above 50 is bullish; below 50 is bearish.
VWAP: Price above VWAP is bullish; below is bearish.
5. ATR
14-period ATR sets take-profit (close ± atr * 9.0) and stop-loss (close ± atr * 1.0).
Trading Rules
Breakout Conditions
Bullish Breakout:
Price crosses above the latest pivot high.
With filters: Volume surge, bullish momentum, RSI > 50, price > VWAP.
Without filters: Only the crossover is needed.
Bearish Breakout:
Price crosses below the latest pivot low.
With filters: Volume surge, bearish momentum, RSI < 50, price < VWAP.
Without filters: Only the crossunder is needed.
Entries and Exits
Long: Enter on bullish breakout. Set take-profit and stop-loss. Close any short position.
Short: Enter on bearish breakout. Set take-profit and stop-loss. Close any long position.
Visuals
Signals: Green triangles (bullish) below bars, red triangles (bearish) above bars.
Pivot Levels: Green line (resistance), red line (support).
Indicators: RSI (blue, separate pane), VWAP (purple, on chart).
How to Use
Apply to a 1-second chart in TradingView for best results.
Adjust inputs (e.g., pivot bars, multipliers). Enable filters for stricter signals.
Watch for buy/sell triangles and monitor RSI/VWAP.
Use ATR-based take-profit/stop-loss for risk management.
Notes
Best on 1-second timeframe due to fast RSI and responsiveness.
Disable filters for more signals (less confirmation).
Backtest before live trading to check performance.
This strategy uses pivots, volume, momentum, RSI, and VWAP for clear breakout trades on the 1-second timeframe.
MarketStructureLibMarketStructure Library
This library extends the "MarketStructure" library by mickes () under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, credited to mickes. It provides functions for detecting and visualizing market structure, including Break of Structure (BOS), Change of Character (CHoCH), Equal High/Low (EQH/EQL), and liquidity zones, with enhancements for improved accuracy and customization.
Functionality
Market Structure Detection: Identifies internal (orderflow) and swing market structures using pivot points, with support for BOS, CHoCH, and EQH/EQL.
Volatility Filter: Only confirms pivots when the ATR exceeds a user-defined threshold, reducing false signals in low-volatility markets.
Trend Strength Metric: Calculates a trend strength score based on pivot frequency and volatility, stored in the Structure type for use in scripts.
Customizable Visualizations: Allows users to configure line styles and colors for BOS and CHoCH, and label sizes for pivots, BOS, CHoCH, and liquidity.
Liquidity Zones: Visualizes liquidity levels with confirmation bars and lookback periods.
Methodology
Pivot Detection: Uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow with a volatility filter (ATR multiplier) to confirm significant pivots.
Trend Strength: Computes a score as pivotCount / LeftLength * (currentATR / ATR), reflecting trend reliability based on pivot frequency and market volatility.
BOS/CHoCH Logic: Detects BOS when price breaks a pivot in the trend direction, and CHoCH when price reverses against the trend, with labels for "MSF" or "MSF+" based on pivot patterns.
EQH/EQL Zones: Creates boxes around equal highs/lows within an ATR-based threshold, with optional extension.
Visualization: Draws lines and labels for BOS, CHoCH, and liquidity, with user-defined styles, colors, and sizes.
Usage
Integration: Import into Pine Script indicators (e.g., import Fenomentn/MarketStructure/1) to analyze market structure.
Configuration: Set pivot lengths, volatility threshold, label sizes, and visualization styles via script inputs.
Alerts: Enable alerts for BOS, CHoCH, and EQH/EQL events, triggered on bar close to avoid repainting.
Best Practices: Use on forex or crypto charts (1m to 12h timeframes) for optimal results. Adjust the volatility threshold for different market conditions.
Originality
This library builds on mickes’ framework by adding:
A volatility-based pivot filter to enhance signal accuracy.
A trend strength metric for assessing trend reliability.
Dynamic label sizing and customizable visualization styles for better usability. No additional open-source code was reused beyond mickes’ library, credited under MPL 2.0.
