Zeta BreakoutIf I ask you what moves the price, most of you will say the same old answer: Demand & Supply
But who creates Demand & Supply? You or Me, the retailers? No. It is Big Institutions and Mutual Funds and Big Banks which create this demand and supply because the
share of retailers in Stock Market is so little it does not affect the price in a big way.
The Big Institutions, Mutual Funds, Big Banks or in some cases Governments, are collectively called Smart Money.
When Smart Money steps in, the previous levels of Support or Resistance are broken and then the up or down move starts which most probably goes a certain distance.
Now the Support or Resistance levels are not static, they are dynamic in nature and keep changing with the time.
How does this indicator work?
Zeta Breakout dynamically and automatically detects and marks these levels and when the price break-outs or break-downs or bounces up or down from these levels, the Buy or Sell Signals are generated for you to follow.
The indicator keeps watching previous or newly created levels of Support or Resistance and as soon as price crosses these levels or bounces from these levels, the user is alerted in the form of 'Buy' or 'Sell' Signals.
How to use this indicator?
1. When you see a Buy Signal, take Buy Position and hold it till either (a) You see opposite signal or (b) Your Stop Loss is hit which is ideally the low of candle preceding the signal candle or any other user defined SL. If your stop loss is hit and then price again starts moving in the same direction as indicated by the last Buy signal, take a fresh position as soon as the price crosses the level where previous signal is sitting.
2. When you see a Sell Signal, close your Buy Position, take a Sell position and hold it till either (a) You see opposite signal or (b) Your Stop Loss is hit which is ideally the high of candle preceding the signal candle or any user defined SL. If your stop loss is hit and then price again starts moving in the same direction as indicated by the last Sell signal, take a fresh position as soon as the price crosses the level where previous signal is sitting.
What are the target instruments/markets for this indicator?
This indicator can be used on Stocks, Indices, Gold , Silver , Currency Pairs, Crude Oil or anything being trades on any exchange in the world.
This indicator is not limited to any specific time-frame. You may select any time-frame which suits your trading style.

STIC bullish and bearish hunter with FVGSmart Trading and Investment Companion (STIC) is a sophisticated tool designed to identify and visualize inducement, market structure, market trends, track liquidity, and project and forecast price action for all applicable assets. it has been tested to work on all timeframes and has been traded on stock, forex, and crypto assets.
This script is an upgraded version of previous STIC indicator, which you can use in addition to it or separately as you deem fit
Traders/ investor that are familiar with market structure, inducement, candlestick psychology, trend-following indicatorsand Fair Value Gap FVG will find it easy to adopt this trading and investment companion. As stated below, this is how it works.
Features and how to use
1st of all, after adding the indicator to yoursuperchart, you want to endusre to set your to so as to enable you see the text labeling clearly. to do that, after adding the indicator to your chart, right click it on the list, you will se the Visual order option.
Special Extreme Alert!
By analyzing the trends and dimensions, we are able to predict market extremes conditions, especially in pump and dump scenarios. (the bullish or bearish P/D extreme alerts).
Market flip arrow
The arrows trigger to indicate when the market flips to bullish (green) or bearish (red) conditions. note that this arrow is just a market flip confirmation and it it triggered by market trends, it does not come one time and sometimes later after market trigger conditions had been met.
circled in white.
Buy or sell potential {The tiny yelow(sell) and blue(buy) triangle}
By analyzing market extreme conditions, market sentiment, and liquidity, the buy/sell potential alert trigger is able to determine the state of the market, This can and should be used in combination with the market flip line (MFL) [the yellow line from , market flip trigger (MFT) (purple line), and market support/resistance line (MSR)(blue line) .
Market flip Line (Blue line) (MFL): the MFL is useful to also understand the market phase; a candle close above the MFL is bullish, while a candle close Below, the MFL is bearish. You are, however, expected to experience market retests and rejections coupled with support and resistance to follow through with the predicted direction. Patience is a valuable virtue in trading.
Extended sell or buy hunt (Red and Green Triangle)
this is real-time triangles indicator just like every other indicator on theis chart that indicates the market direction labeled with buy and sell. Note that the market-extended extreme can occur multiple times in the same direction. Hence, we'll advise having multiple trade entries.
The flip support line
Market Flip Trigger Line (MFTL) (Magenta): When the market crosses and closes below or above the Market Flip Trigger Line, you should wait for a confirmation. a confirmation is usually a retest or rejection of the line. A candle close and reject indicates the market as flip direction and it is going for a correction or major reversal. it is applicable on all timeframe.
As mentioned earlier, if you understand market structure and sentiment, using the uFVG, iFVG, upLQTY, downLQTY and BOS will be easy. however, this is how it works, you may need tohave and expanded readbout market structure for additional knowledge.
upLQTY (Bullish liquidity inducement)
The indicator appear at the close and confirmation on the 3rd candle and it is extended to only appear on 200 bars applicable on all timeframes.
This is a bullish sentiment and liquidty inducement order block that occurs, leading to the break of trend structure and change of character. Meaning the market sentiment as change which is backed up by liquidity in that region, which mostly gets filled, especially on lower timeframes before the price action continues. If price revese breaks and hold above this region, it invalidates the order block. This will always appear when there is a confirmed change of character CHoCH to the bullish side.
downLQTY (Bearish liquidity inducement) The indicator appear at the close and confirmation on the 3rd candle and it is extended to only appear on 200 bars applicable on all timeframes. It is and inverse of the upLQTY.
like order block, these are supply and demand zones that has the potential to change the direction of a trade. This is a bearish order block that occurs, leading to the break of structure and change of character. Meaning there is bearish liquidity yet to be accounted for in the region, which mostly gets filled, especially on lower timeframes before the price action continues. If broken, it invalidates the order block. This will always appear when there is a confirmed change of character from CHoCH to the bearish side.
Fair Value Gap
From general knowledge, FVG also know as Fair value gaps are inbalnace created by a 3 candlestick pattern where the top of the bottom candles doesn't cross the bottom of the top candle. like order block, these are supply and demand zones that has the potential to change the direction of a trade. This mostly indicate the presense of big plays in the market. for STIC indicator, FVG are labeled as listed below;
UFVG, also FVGup, {Colour green box} = bullish imbalance fair value gap
IFVG, aka FVGdown, {Red box} = bearish imbalance fair value gap
OIFVG, {Yellow box, no label} = other imbalances fair value gab
You should not that FG has upper, lower and middle band, any of the this area can be induced and filled by price.
Alert Conditions!
Buy alert conditions
- Any bullish buy alert
- Bullish hunt
- Re-entry Buy
- Sharp Market Sell rejection
- Buy potential
- upLQTY
Long position Exit conditions
- ExtremeB
- Profit
- Sell hunt
The Entry, exit and trail profit alert trigger should be used as position exit conditions either for a Long (Buy) or Short (Sell) situation and should be set as OPB (Once Per Bar). Using it as entry for exit or vice versa as shown not to be very profitable. hence the need to combine with other order entry alerts like the Any bullish or Bearish alerts
Sell alert conditions ( NOTE: All Sell alert are not yet included in this current version as this is targeted towards bullrun.)
- Sell potential
- Sell triangle (Sell hunt)
- downLQTY
and any trail profit alert, this alert put into consideration all the conditions required to trail profit.
Risk management advice
Patience and a good risk management strategy are required to be profitable trader using this tool. You need to ensure not to overleverage, and you should have multiple entries in case the buy coditions/alert shows again below the previous buy alert before a sell condition/alert occurs.

Smart Elliott Wave [The_lurker]🔷 Smart Elliott Wave – موجات إليوت الذكية
A professional indicator for automatically detecting and analyzing Elliott Wave patterns on the chart. Built on classical Elliott Wave theory, it enhances accuracy with dynamic Fibonacci validation and geometric logic—solving the most common issues traders face when applying Elliott Wave manually: complexity, subjectivity, and misinterpretation of corrections.
🎯 Key Features
Smart Elliott Wave offers a layered intelligent system that:
- Automatically detects impulsive and corrective wave structures
- Validates wave formations using Fibonacci rules
- Highlights potential reversal zones (PRZ)
- Sends instant alerts for newly detected patterns
- Supports both bullish and bearish trends
- Includes fully customizable user settings
🧠 Core Concept
The indicator analyzes price movement over time using pivot points (discovered via `ta.pivothigh` and `ta.pivotlow`) to detect wave structures that conform to Elliott Wave sequencing:
- Impulse Wave: 0-1-2-3-4-5
- Simple Correction: ABC
- Complex Correction: WXY
Each structure is validated through a strict set of logical rules combined with Fibonacci ratio checks to ensure pattern integrity and reduce false signals.
🧩 Wave Structure Components
1️⃣ Impulse Waves
- Wave 3 is not the shortest
- Wave 4 does not overlap Wave 1
- Waves 1, 3, and 5 are impulsive; Waves 2 and 4 are corrective
- Fibonacci validation can be applied to Waves 2 and 4 if enabled
2️⃣ Simple Corrections (ABC)
- Wave B partially retraces Wave A
- Wave C completes the structure without invalid overlap
- Fibonacci ratios validate the symmetry of A, B, and C (if enabled)
3️⃣ Complex Corrections (WXY)
- Only used if ABC structure is insufficient
- Requires 6 sequential pivot points: W, X, Y
- W and Y are corrective; X is a linking wave
- Follows both structural and ratio-based validations
📏 Dynamic Fibonacci Validation
When Enable Fibonacci Rules is active:
- Validates against common ratios:
`38.2%`, `50%`, `61.8%`, `78.6%`, `127.2%`, `161.8%`
- Adjustable **Fibonacci Tolerance** allows for controlled deviation
- Patterns are ignored if ratios fall outside the accepted range
🔮 Potential Reversal Zones (PRZ)
- Calculated from the most recent completed impulse wave
- Uses Fibonacci extensions to project PRZ ahead of price
- Customizable visibility and color for each ratio
- Used as dynamic take-profit or stop-loss zones
🖍️ Dual Trend Detection & Wave Coloring
- Supports both bullish and bearish patterns
- Automatic wave coloring for quick visual recognition:
- 🟦 Blue: Bullish waves
- 🟥 Red: Bearish waves
- Optional fill color for correction zones
🔔 Smart Alert System
Instant alerts are triggered when a valid wave pattern is confirmed:
- New impulse wave detected
- ABC correction appears
- Complex WXY correction formed
> Alerts are triggered only after the bar closes to prevent repainting.
⚙️ Indicator Settings
📌 Wave Detection Settings
- Pivot Left Strength: Bars to the left used for pivot detection
- Pivot Right Strength: Bars to the right for confirmation (0 = real-time)
- Enable Fibonacci Rules: Toggle Fibonacci ratio validation
- Fibonacci Tolerance: Allowed deviation in percentage
🎨 Display Settings
- Show Previous Patterns: Toggle between all patterns or only the latest
- Fill correction zones with color
- Customize wave and PRZ color schemes
📉 PRZ Settings
- Show/hide specific Fibonacci ratios
- Customize each PRZ color
- Set maximum bar extension for PRZ display
🔕 Alert Settings
- Enable or disable alerts for each type of pattern
📚 Practical Use Cases
- Daily or intraday price structure analysis
- Combine with RSI, MACD, or momentum indicators
- Filter weak signals using Fibonacci-based pattern validation
- Use PRZ zones as dynamic entry/exit targets
- Learn and reinforce Elliott Wave theory through real-time examples
📝 Important Notes
- Setting `Pivot Right = 0` allows for real-time pattern previews (may repaint)
- Disabling Fibonacci validation increases pattern count but reduces accuracy
- TradingView limits to 500 visual objects (labels, boxes, lines); older patterns may be removed
- PRZ extends up to 100 bars or 0.618 of the previous impulse duration by default

🔷 Smart Elliott Wave – موجات إليوت الذكية
مؤشر احترافي لرصد وتحليل أنماط موجات إليوت تلقائيًا على الرسم البياني، يعتمد على المبادئ الكلاسيكية للنظرية مع تعزيزها بالتحقق الرياضي والهندسي، ويهدف إلى تجاوز العقبات التي يواجهها معظم المتداولين عند تطبيق موجات إليوت يدويًا، مثل صعوبة التحديد، التقديرات الذاتية، وتشويش التصحيحات.
🎯 ما الذي يميز هذا المؤشر؟
يُقدّم Smart Elliott Wave نظامًا تراكبيًا ذكيًا يقوم بـ:
رصد تلقائي للموجات (الدافعة والتصحيحية)
التحقق من صحة النموذج باستخدام قواعد فيبوناتشي
عرض مناطق الانعكاس المحتملة (PRZ)
توليد تنبيهات لحظية عند تشكّل أنماط جديدة
دعم الاتجاهين (الصاعد والهابط)
واجهة إعدادات مرنة قابلة للتخصيص الكامل
🧠 الفكرة الأساسية
يعتمد المؤشر على تحليل حركة السعر عبر تسلسل زمني من النقاط المحورية (Pivots)، والتي تُكتشف باستخدام دوال مدمجة مثل ta.pivothigh وta.pivotlow. ثم يُبني فوق هذه النقاط نماذج هندسية متوافقة مع تسلسل موجات إليوت:
الموجة الدافعة (Impulse): تسلسل 0-1-2-3-4-5
التصحيح البسيط (ABC)
التصحيح المعقد (WXY)
ويتم التحقق من كل نموذج اعتمادًا على قواعد إليوت + نسب فيبوناتشي، ما يضمن موضوعية التصنيف، ودقة التحديد.
🧩 مكوّنات التحليل:
1️⃣ الموجات الدافعة (Impulse Waves):
يُشترط أن تكون الموجة الثالثة غير الأقصر.
لا تتداخل الموجة الرابعة مع نطاق الموجة الأولى.
تأكيد أن الموجات 1 و3 و5 دافعة، و2 و4 تصحيحية.
يتم التحقق من نسب تصحيح الموجتين 2 و4 حسب قواعد فيبوناتشي عند تفعيلها.
2️⃣ التصحيح البسيط (ABC):
B تصحيح جزئي للموجة A.
C تُكمل الهيكل بدون تداخل مع A.
يتم التحقق من أطوال الموجات وفق نسب فيبوناتشي لضمان التناسق.
3️⃣ التصحيح المعقد (WXY):
لا يتم تفعيله إلا عند فشل ABC في تفسير النمط.
يتطلب 6 نقاط محورية متسلسلة: W, X, Y.
W وY تصحيحيتان، وX رابط مركزي.
يخضع أيضًا لقواعد النسب والتماثل البنائي.
📏 التحقق باستخدام نسب فيبوناتشي:
عند تفعيل خاصية Enable Fibonacci Rules، يتم التحقق الصارم من نسب تصحيح الموجات:
النسب المعتمدة:
38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%, 127.2%, 161.8%
إذا لم تكن الموجة ضمن نطاق النسبة + نسبة التسامح (Tolerance)، يتم تجاهل النموذج.
يُستخدم هذا التحقق أيضًا لرسم مناطق الانعكاس المحتملة (PRZ).
🔮 مناطق الانعكاس المحتملة (PRZ)
تُحسب PRZ باستخدام نسب فيبوناتشي انطلاقًا من نهاية آخر موجة دافعة.
تُعرض بشكل مستطيلات شفافة أو ملونة.
يمكن تخصيص كل نسبة لونًا وشكلًا خاصًا.
تُستخدم PRZ كأداة توقع للموجة التالية أو لتحديد أهداف وقف الخسارة وجني الأرباح ديناميكيًا.
🖍️ دعم الاتجاهين وتلوين الموجات:
يدعم المؤشر النماذج الصاعدة والهابطة بشكل تلقائي.
يتم استخدام تلوين بصري لتسهيل التمييز:
الأزرق: للموجات الصاعدة
الأحمر: للموجات الهابطة
لون تعبئة مخصص لمناطق التصحيح
🔔 نظام التنبيهات الذكية
يحتوي المؤشر على تنبيهات تلقائية يتم تفعيلها عند اكتمال أي نمط جديد.
يدعم التنبيهات التالية:
موجة دافعة جديدة
تصحيح بسيط ABC
تصحيح معقد WXY
التنبيهات تُطلق بعد إغلاق الشمعة التي تحقق فيها النموذج (غير فوري Repainting-safe)
⚙️ إعدادات المؤشر
📌 إعدادات تحليل الموجة:

Smart Money Gap [Algo Seeker]Introduction – Originality and usefulness
It is important for traders to diversify their strategies, and having a few approaches for different situations is key to increasing their odds of success.
These days, substantial information and important events happen so fast and so often that all the noise created afterward makes people forget the events that were actually worth remembering.
The same can be said about trading and investing. Every day, there seems to be something new happening and new price action unfolding, which can make it difficult for traders to filter out the noise and stay focused on relevant events. But for every problem, a solution can be born.
🟠 Unique Features & Trading Benefits
The SMG aims to be a system that helps traders filter out what it deems to be irrelevant noise and stay focused on what matters most. In addition, SMG provides multiple plans and ways to act on that information.
The reason it’s called “Smart Money Gap” is because this algorithm is designed to identify the most relevant price action—whether it's earnings, an economic calendar event, a stock-specific development, major news, or institutional activity. It determines which of these situations is the most current and relevant, and it keeps the focus on that. This means that day in and day out, traders and investors can rely on a consistent plan and framework that is automatically drawn up for them, helping them trade with confidence that they’re acting on meaningful price levels. When the algorithm identifies a new event as more important, it will switch focus and build a new system around that.
SMG also goes a step further—it understands that different types of traders, such as scalpers, swing traders, or investors, have different time horizons and risk tolerance regarding how long they plan to hold a position and how much space and time they are willing to give a move. With that in mind, SMG provides different trading modes for these personas, selecting events that match the criteria needed for that specific trader.
For instance, a scalper may benefit from a smaller, more recent event that provides quick entry and exit opportunities—whereas an investor might focus on something more significant and long-term. SMG takes this into consideration and builds its entire framework accordingly.
🟠 Description of the Unique SMG (Continued) – How It Works Together as One System
The true power of SMG begins once a relevant event is identified, and the entire system is automatically displayed on the user’s chart. From that single event, SMG generates a structured framework that produces three distinct strategies. Each of these strategies takes inspiration from fundamentals within trading but gives it our own unique twist inside the SMG system. These strategies can be used individually or in combination, depending on the trader’s style and market context.
🟢 1. Filling the Smart Money Gap
One of the key opportunities is to trade the SMG itself—the “gap” created by the specific event. Gap fills are a strategy that traders and investors like to use. SMG continuously tracks how much of this unique gap has been filled, so users are never confused about how much remains. They can reference the shaded region or the percentage-left box for clarity.
🟢 2. Targeting SMG-Based Extensions and Retracements
When the SMG zone is created, the algorithm simultaneously generates extension and retracement levels tied to that event. These levels remain anchored to the original structure, providing consistent, event-driven targets. Unlike the constantly redrawn lines many traders adjust throughout the day, these levels stay fixed and reflect meaningful price action—not noise.
🟢 3. Executing Trades Based on SMG Volume
Because SMGs are tied to meaningful events, they often remain valid for an extended time. This is where Anchored VWAP becomes critical. From the moment the event occurs, SMG begins calculating volume-based data. The longer the event goes unchanged, the more powerful and influential the Anchored VWAP and its deviation bands become—due to the increasing accumulation of volume over time. These volume layers not only help refine entries and exits—they also serve as additional points of confluence where traders can place stops, take profits, or re-enter trades with greater context and confidence.
In conclusion:
SMG is designed to help traders diversify their portfolio of strategies even further. It creates an entire system that filters out noise and builds a strategy around a key event—and it will stay focused on that event until another becomes more relevant. SMG gives traders the ability to react calmly, with a plan that is automatically laid out for them. This is a special algorithm that we’ve incorporated into our approach for over three years, and we hope users will find it to be a valuable aid in their trading journey.
🟠 How to Use
Initial Setup
🟢 1. Select Trading Mode:
Choose from six built-in personas—Scalp 1, Scalp 2, Swing 1, Swing 2, Invest 1, and Invest 2—based on your trading style. Each persona adjusts the SMG logic to fit the risk profile and time horizon of that specific persona.
1. Scalp: For intraday movements (minutes to hours)
• Best used on faster charts (1-minute to 30-minute)
2. Swing: For medium-term positions (days to weeks)
• Best used on 1-hour to daily charts
3. Investor: For longer-term positions (weeks to months)
• Best used on 1-hour to daily charts
🟢 2. Choose SMG Update Behavior: Bar Close vs Live Update:
By default, SMG waits until all conditions are met and the bar closes before updating. This ensures confirmed structure and helps avoid noise or repainting.
If “Update Before Bar Closes?” is selected, the algorithm updates as soon as all conditions are met — even if the bar hasn’t closed yet. This allows earlier updates but may result in elements that repaint if the conditions don’t hold through the close.
Keep this setting unchecked if you prefer confirmed, non-repainting elements.
🟢 3. Visual Customization:
Customize the appearance of SMG zones, extension labels, and volume-derived levels via the “SMG Zone” and “Anchored VWAP” settings groups. This includes:
1. Zone colors and opacity
2. Label positions
3. Retracement display toggle
4. Anchored VWAP and ±1, ±2, ±3 deviation bands
Extra Notes on User Customization:
• Bull Box Color – the color used when SMG retracement is active
• Final Bull Box Color – the color used when SMG retracement is finished
• Same logic applies to Bear Box Color and Final Bear Box Color
• Retracement % Label – If the label is hard to see, it may be overlapping with the Fib labels depending on your chart zoom. To adjust, bring the Retracement % Label Indent closer to 1 to shift it left. Then increase the Fib Label Indent value to move those labels further right.
🟠 Strategic Execution
Strategy Usage Example
🟢 1. Entry & Exit Tactics Within the SMG
Use the shaded Smart Money Gap as a decision-making framework. Traders may choose to:
1. Fade a retracement (shorting or exiting as price retraces into the SMG)
2. Enter on signs of continuation (rejoining the move after a partial retrace)
3. Wait for the gap to fill completely and reverse
Volume-weighted Anchored VWAP levels add an additional layer—helping assess whether price is entering or rejecting volume consensus zones.
🟢 2. Extension Targeting:
When price resumes in the original direction, SMG plots potential extension levels. These can be used to:
1 Set take-profit or stop-loss targets
2. Spot exhaustion areas
3 Evaluate whether to scale in, take partial profits, or re-enter a position
🟢 3. Volume-Based Execution via Anchored VWAP:
For traders looking to incorporate volume into execution—especially when an SMG has remained active for an extended period—Anchored VWAP and its deviation bands can be used to:
1. Confirm direction or momentum via VWAP slope and interaction
2. Enter or fade positions at volume-backed levels
3. Set dynamic entries or exits as volume builds or thins across deviations
⚠️Optional Update Behavior: Bar Close vs Live Update
By default, SMG waits until all conditions are met and the bar closes before updating. This ensures confirmed structure and helps avoid noise or repainting.
If “Update Before Bar Closes?” is selected, the algorithm updates as soon as all conditions are met — even if the bar hasn’t closed yet. This allows earlier updates but may result in elements that repaint if the conditions don’t hold through the close.
Keep this setting unchecked if you prefer confirmed, non-repainting elements.
⚠️ Interpreting Anchored VWAP Behavior
Anchored VWAP and its deviation bands become more relevant with time as they widen and separate. While tight and accumulating near price, it may be worth holding off on using VWAP for entries or exits until expansion begins.
🟠 Additional Description – SMG Table Overview
The SMG table presents four key pieces of information to help traders quickly understand the current setup at a glance:
1) If the Algo is set for dynamic or bar close
2) Which trading mode they currently have selected
3) What type of SMG gap is displayed
4) how much of the Retracement is done
🟠 Additional Benefits:
🟢 1. Risk Profile Options
Trading personas allow users to instantly switch between different risk profiles—Scalp, Swing, or Investor—at the click of a button. This helps traders quickly align the system to their preferred holding period and risk tolerance without reconfiguring inputs.
🟢 2. Time Efficiency
SMG saves traders time by creating a complete system around each Smart Money Gap. From gap logic to retracement tracking, extension targets, and volume levels—everything needed to trade the SMG is generated at once, eliminating the need for manual setup or separate tools.
The Smart Money Gap represents years of development and refinement aimed at creating a unified, event-driven trading system. It was designed to help traders manage through the constant noise of the market, and we hope that traders benefit from having an additional tool to support and diversify their trading strategy.
Smart Money Concepts + Fibonacci + EMA - AI Enhanced Analysis### █ OVERVIEW
This indicator is not just another "all-in-one" tool; it's a **specialized data visualization layer designed for the new era of AI-driven chart analysis**. The primary purpose of the **"NarmoonAI"** indicator is to structure and display key market information in a clean, consistent, and machine-readable format.
Standard charts can be noisy and ambiguous for AI Vision models (like Google's Gemini or OpenAI's GPT-4). This script solves that problem by consolidating the most crucial technical analysis concepts—Smart Money Concepts, Trend Analysis, and Key Levels—into a clear visual language that an AI can easily interpret from a single screenshot.
This approach allows traders to leverage the power of artificial intelligence for faster, more objective, and deeper market analysis. It's designed to work seamlessly with our custom AI assistant, the **NarmoonAI Telegram Bot**, but can be used with any modern AI vision tool.

### █ CORE COMPONENTS & LOGIC
This indicator is a "mashup" with a clear purpose: to create a comprehensive yet clean analytical framework. Here is how each component contributes to the overall goal of AI-enhanced analysis:
**1. Smart Money Concepts (Supply & Demand Zones):**
* **How it works:** The script automatically identifies significant market turning points by detecting swing highs and lows using `ta.pivothigh` and `ta.pivotlow` over a user-defined `Swing Length`. These pivots form the basis of our Supply (resistance) and Demand (support) zones.
* **The "Smart" Edge:** To filter out weaker zones, the indicator analyzes the volume profile. Zones that are formed during periods of high volume (defined as >1.5x the 20-period simple moving average of volume) are highlighted in a stronger, more vibrant color. This signals areas of high institutional interest, a key concept in Smart Money analysis.
**2. Multi-Layered Trend Analysis (Exponential Moving Averages - EMAs):**
* **How it works:** We've included a customizable suite of four essential EMAs (20, 50, 100, and 200). These are not just random lines; they provide an instant visual reference for short, medium, and long-term trend direction and dynamic support/resistance.
* **Why it's useful for AI:** An AI can instantly parse the order and slope of these EMAs. For example, it can identify a strong uptrend when the price is above the 20 EMA, which is above the 50 EMA, and so on.
**3. Automatic Fibonacci Retracement:**
* **How it works:** Manually drawing Fibonacci levels is subjective and time-consuming. This script automates the process by identifying the highest high and lowest low over a `Fibonacci Lookback Period` (defaulting to 100 bars) and automatically plots the key retracement levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786).
* **Why it's useful for AI:** It provides objective, universally recognized potential support and resistance levels without any manual drawing, ensuring a clean and consistent chart for analysis.
**4. Dynamic Trend Channels:**
* **How it works:** The indicator automatically draws trend channels by connecting the two most recent significant pivot highs (for a downtrend channel) or pivot lows (for an uptrend channel).
* **The "Dynamic" Edge:** The width of the channel is not fixed. It's dynamically calculated using the Average True Range (ATR), allowing the channel to expand and contract based on the market's current volatility. This provides a much more adaptive and realistic view of the trend's boundaries.

Smart Trend Tracker Name: Smart Trend Tracker
Description:
The Smart Trend Tracker indicator is designed to analyze market cycles and identify key trend reversal points. It automatically marks support and resistance levels based on price dynamics, helping traders better navigate market structure.
Application:
Trend Analysis: The indicator helps determine when a trend may be nearing a reversal, which is useful for making entry or exit decisions.
Support and Resistance Levels: Automatically marks key levels, simplifying chart analysis.
Reversal Signals: Provides visual signals for potential reversal points, which can be used for counter-trend trading strategies.
How It Works:
Candlestick Sequence Analysis: The indicator tracks the number of consecutive candles in one direction (up or down). If the price continues to move N bars in a row in one direction, the system records this as an impulse phase.
Trend Exhaustion Detection: After a series of directional bars, the market may reach an overbought or oversold point. If the price continues to move in the same direction but with weakening momentum, the indicator records a possible trend slowdown.
Chart Display: The indicator marks potential reversal points with numbers or special markers. It can also display support and resistance levels based on key cycle points.
Settings:
Cycle Length: The number of bars after which the possibility of a reversal is assessed.
Trend Sensitivity: A parameter that adjusts sensitivity to trend movements.
Dynamic Levels: Setting for displaying key levels.

Smart Money Index + True Strength IndexThe Smart Money Index + True Strength Index indicator is a combination of two popular technical analysis indicators: the Smart Money Index (SMI) and the True Strength Index (TSI). This combined indicator helps traders identify potential entry points for long and short positions based on signals from both indexes.
Main Components:
Smart Money Index (SMI):
The SMI measures the difference between the closing and opening price of a candle multiplied by the trading volume over a certain period of time. This allows you to assess the activity of large players ("smart money") in the market. If the SMI value is above a certain threshold (smiThreshold), it may indicate a bullish trend, and if lower, it may indicate a bearish trend.
True Strength Index (TSI):
The TSI is an oscillator that measures the strength of a trend by comparing the price change of the current bar with the previous bar. It uses two exponential moving averages (EMAS) to smooth the data. TSI values can fluctuate around zero, with values above the overbought level indicating a possible downward correction, and values below the oversold level signaling a possible upward correction.
Parameters:
SMI Length: Defines the number of candles used to calculate the average SMI value. The default value is 14.
SMI Threshold: A threshold value that is used to determine a buy or sell signal. The default value is 0.
Length of the first TSI smoothing (tsiLength1): The length of the first EMA for calculating TSI. The default value is 25.
Second TSI smoothing length (tsiLength2): The length of the second EMA for additional smoothing of TSI values. The default value is 13.
TSI Overbought level: The level at which the market is considered to be overbought. The default value is 25.
Oversold level TSI: The level at which it is considered that the market is in an oversold state. The default value is -25.
Logic of operation:
SMI calculation:
First, the difference between the closing and opening price of each candle (close - open) is calculated.
This difference is then multiplied by the trading volume.
The resulting product is averaged using a simple moving average (SMA) over a specified period (smiLength).
Calculation of TSI:
The price change relative to the previous bar is calculated (close - close ).
The first EMA with the length tsiLength1 is applied.
Next, a second EMA with a length of tsiLength2 is applied to obtain the final TSI value.
The absolute value of price changes is calculated in the same way, and two emas are also applied.
The final TSI index is calculated as the ratio of these two values multiplied by 100.
Graphical representation:
The SMI and TSI lines are plotted on the graph along with their respective thresholds.
For SMI, the line is drawn in orange, and the threshold level is dotted in gray.
For the TSI, the line is plotted in blue, the overbought and oversold levels are indicated by red and green dotted lines, respectively.
Conditions for buy/sell signals:
A buy (long) signal is generated when:
SMI is greater than the threshold (smi > smiThreshold)
TSI crosses the oversold level from bottom to top (ta.crossover(tsi, oversold)).
A sell (short) signal is generated when:
SMI is less than the threshold (smi < smiThreshold)
TSI crosses the overbought level from top to bottom (ta.crossunder(tsi, overbought)).
Signal display:
When the conditions for a long or short are met, labels labeled "LONG" or "SHORT" appear on the chart.
The label for the long is located under the candle and is colored green, and for the short it is above the candle and is colored red.
Notification generation:
The indicator also supports notifications via the TradingView platform. Notifications are sent when conditions arise for a long or short position.
This combined indicator provides the trader with the opportunity to use both SMI and TSI signals simultaneously, which can improve the accuracy of trading decisions.
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.

Smart Ribbon V2 [FXSMARTLAB]The Smart Ribbon V2 indicator is designed to analyze market trends and momentum by plotting a series of moving averages with varying periods, all within a single overlay on the price chart. This approach creates a "ribbon" effect, enabling traders to visualize trend strength, reversals, and potential entry or exit points. The indicator provides flexibility through different moving average types, including some advanced ones like QUEMA (Quadruple Exponential Moving Average) and QuintEMA (Quintuple Exponential Moving Average). Each moving average is color-coded to indicate trend direction and momentum, making it visually intuitive and effective for quick decision-making in trend-following strategies.
The Smart Ribbon V2 helps traders:
Identify Trend Direction
Gauge Momentum
Spot Trend Reversals
Determine Entry and Exit Points
Detailed Explanation of QUEMA and QuintEMA
The QUEMA (Quadruple Exponential Moving Average) and QuintEMA (Quintuple Exponential Moving Average) are advanced smoothing techniques that build on traditional exponential moving averages (EMAs). Both offer higher sensitivity to recent price changes than standard EMAs by adding layers of exponential smoothing. These moving averages are particularly useful for traders looking for a more responsive indicator without the noise often present in shorter-period EMAs.
QUEMA (Quadruple Exponential Moving Average)
The QUEMA is calculated by applying the EMA calculation four times in succession. This method smooths out fluctuations in the price data, creating a balance between sensitivity to recent data and resistance to short-term noise.
The mathematical formula for QUEMA is:
QUEMA=4×EMA1−6×EMA2+4×EMA3−EMA4
This formula results in a moving average that is smoother than a triple EMA (TEMA) and provides a better response to price trends without excessive lag.
QuintEMA (Quintuple Exponential Moving Average)
The QuintEMA goes one step further by applying the EMA calculation five times in a row. This level of exponential smoothing is useful for identifying strong, persistent trends while remaining adaptive to recent price shifts.
The QuintEMA is calculated as :
QuintEMA=5×EMA1−10×EMA2+10×EMA3−5×EMA4+EMA5
The additional layer in QuintEMA further reduces the impact of short-term price fluctuations, making it especially useful in strongly trending markets.
The Smart Ribbon V2 combines the benefits of several moving average types to deliver a versatile tool for analyzing market trends, momentum, and potential reversals. With QUEMA and QuintEMA as advanced options, it allows traders to tailor the indicator to match their preferred trading style, whether it involves higher responsiveness or smoother trend visualization. This adaptability makes Smart Ribbon V2 a powerful choice for both novice and experienced traders seeking to improve their trend-following and market analysis strategies.

15 Minute chart = 60 Minute higher time frame
20 and 30 Minute chart = 120 Minute higher time frame
1 Hour chart = 4 Hour higher time frame
2 Hour chart = 4 Hour higher time frame
4 Hour chart = 1 Day higher time frame
1 Day chart = 1 Week higher time frame
1 Week chart = 1 Month higher time frame
1 Month chart = 12 Month higher time frame
For any other chart time frame = Day time is default time frame
1. Relative Strength (RS) Analysis:
Calculation: Measures the performance of the base symbol relative to a comparative symbol over a specified period.
Visualization: The RS value is plotted with color-coded lines to indicate bullish (green) or bearish (red) conditions based on crossovers. Users can customize the color based on value or trend direction.
Trend Analysis: A simple moving average (SMA) of RS is displayed to visualize trend strength and direction, with color changes to reflect rising or falling trends.
2. Commodity Channel Index (CCI):
- Current Timeframe CCI: Calculates the CCI for the current timeframe to assess price momentum.
- Higher Timeframe CCI: Computes the CCI for a higher timeframe to provide a broader market perspective.
- Background Color: Highlights the chart background in green or red based on whether both current and higher timeframe CCIs are above or below zero, respectively.
-Blank Space: This occurs when the two timeframes are not aligned, indicating market uncertainty and signaling a potential change in market direction, it means short time frame or current time frame changed its direction to opposite side.
Smart Signals Assistant [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
The Smart Signals Assistant is a comprehensive, all-in-one trading toolkit designed to provide a complete analytical framework on your chart. It is built around a primary signal engine that generates trend and reversal signals, enhanced by a suite of five optional "confluence" indicators that provide deeper market context.
This script is highly modular, allowing you to build a personalized dashboard. You can use the main signals for entries, add a machine-learning classifier to check if the market is trending, overlay dynamic support/resistance clouds, and manage your trades with on-chart take-profit and stop-loss levels. The system is tied together with a powerful, multi-step alert builder that lets you create custom alert conditions from any combination of the script's components.
🟠 CONCEPTS
This indicator is a collection of several distinct systems working together. The combination is designed to allow traders to build a complete strategy—from signal generation to confirmation and trade management—within a single tool. Here are the core concepts behind them:
Smart Signals Engine: This is the heart of the indicator and operates as a hybrid with two distinct modes. The "Swing" mode uses a proprietary model that analyzes price stability and volatility to identify stable, longer-term trends. The "Scalping" mode uses a more responsive machine-laerning trend system that dynamically adapts its parameters based on learned market 'states' to real-time changes in market conditions, making it better suited for faster, lower-timeframe movements.
Fair Value Trail (FVT): This is not a simple moving average. It's a volatility-based trail that helps identify dynamic zones of support and resistance. The concept is to track a "fair value" price, derived by analyzing price levels with significant volume activity, providing logical areas for entries or trailing stop-loss adjustments.
Trend Spine: This component calculates a core trend backbone. Its purpose is to cut through short-term noise and provide a clearer, more stable view of the underlying primary trend direction by filtering out price action during periods of low directional momentum.
Trend Bias: This is a band that measures the strength and weakness of the current price momentum. It visualizes whether bullish or bearish pressure is accelerating or decelerating by comparing recent momentum to its historical average, which is useful for confirming the conviction behind a move.
Firmament Clouds: These are dynamic zones plotted on the chart that act as potential areas of support and resistance. Unlike static lines, these clouds expand and contract based on market volatility, providing an adaptive view of key price zones where the market may be overextended.
Trend-Range Classifier (TRC): This is a machine learning model that analyzes multiple market characteristics (like volatility and momentum patterns) in real-time. It classifies the current market environment as either "trending" or "ranging," helping you decide which strategy to apply and filter signals that are inappropriate for the current conditions.
🟠 FEATURES
Trend & Reversal Signals: Configure the main engine to provide either trend-following signals or potential counter-trend reversal signals. Signals are categorized as "Normal" or "Strong" to indicate conviction.
Advanced Candle Coloring: Choose from multiple candle coloring modes, including static trend colors, a color gradient based on momentum, or a gradient based on volume. Also includes an option to highlight ranging markets with gray candles.
Automated Trade Management: Enable on-chart Take-Profit and Stop-Loss levels that are automatically calculated when a signal appears. These are visualized with colored risk/reward zones.
Component Status Table: A customizable on-chart dashboard that shows the live status, direction, and signal duration for every active component, giving you a complete overview at a glance.
Powerful Multi-Step Alert System: Build highly specific, custom alerts. You can combine dozens of built-in conditions from all components using AND/OR logic across a sequence of up to 7 steps.
External Alert Integration: The alert system can incorporate up to five external sources, allowing you to mix conditions from this script with your other favorite indicators.
🟠 USAGE
This script is designed to be adapted to your personal trading style by combining components to build a complete strategy. The synergy between the components is key to its usefulness. Here is a general workflow:
Initial Configuration: Start by enabling the core "Smart Signals" in the settings. Choose your preferred "Smart Signals Mode" (Swing or Scalping) and "Signal Mode" (Trend or Reversal) based on your strategy and timeframe.
Adding Confluence for Reliability: To increase the reliability of signals, enable one or more confluence tools. For example, a trend trader can enable the "Trend-Range Classifier" and decide to only consider signals that appear when the market is classified as "Trending." You could further enhance this by also enabling the "Fair Value Trail" and only taking buy signals that occur near or above the trail. This demonstrates how combining components filters for higher-quality setups.
Reading the Visuals: A standard "▲" or "▼" represents a normal signal, while a "+▲" or "+▼" indicates a strong signal with higher conviction. Use the candle colors to gauge the momentum within the trend.
Managing Trades: If you enable "Take-Profit Levels" and "Stop-Loss Level," the script will automatically plot these on your chart when a signal appears. This can help you pre-plan your risk and potential targets. The exit signals ("x") can be used as a suggestion for taking partial or full profits.
Setting Up Custom Alerts for High-Probability Setups: For a high-probability setup, navigate to the "Alerts" tab. You can create a sequence that combines multiple components to fire only on your ideal conditions. For instance:
Step 1: "Smart Signals Strong Bullish Signal "
Step 2: "Market Is Trending " AND "FVT In Bullish Trend "
This alert would only trigger when a strong buy signal occurs while the TRC confirms a trend and the price is in a favorable position relative to the Fair Value Trail, effectively filtering out lower-quality signals by demanding agreement between multiple, conceptually different components.
Smart Money Concepts (SMC)Introductions:
Before explaining the functions of this indicator to you, we need to talk about what theoretical knowledge we need to have. Many different price approaches have been developed over the decades with different analysis methods and are still evolving. Some theories used in classical trend analysis methods are interpreted or blended with different perspectives over time and we try to make more successful analyses by having a consistent market reading strategy. While analyzing the classical market structure with the price action method, some issues that are missing and do not fit into place are brought to light with a higher level analysis method known as the smart money concept.
As a result of the research and developments we have done on this subject from many different sources for a long time, I personally think that the most efficient and logical concept is the smart money concept. Of course, no matter which method we use, acting within a risk management and remaining strictly loyal to our conditions should be our first priority so that we can talk about sustainable success in the market. In light of all this, we decided to make an indicator of this concept, which we believe is consistent.
In order to analyze the market structure correctly, we must first draw fractal structures and interpret them correctly. Because the market consists of fractal structures. Regardless of the technique, if we cannot draw fractals correctly or if we make an incorrect interpretation while determining them, our market structure analysis may also be incorrect.
Instead of manually identifying fractal structures, script writers often choose the following method for ease of use; They leave the number of candles to the user's choice, detect the highest and lowest points among x number of candles, and draw fractal structures accordingly, but in fact this is not an accurate detection method. In the visual I have prepared below, you can see how the correct fractal structures should be drawn. Fractal structures should be made based on the previous and next candle levels, not from a certain group of candles.
To identify market structures, we make an interpretation based on these fractal movements.
While classic market structure analysis with traditional price action follows a relatively simpler path as shown in the example below, this situation is a bit more detailed in the smart money concepts.
To explain the situation in the smart money concept in an easily understandable way, it is as follows; imagine an uptrend that progresses by creating levels HH and HL, when the price creates a new HL, we call this point as inducement and we move this level up as each new HL is formed. When drawing structures in this way, when the price falls below the inducement level, the peak is confirmed. To explain it with a different approach, the price must first get liquidity from these last rising bottoms in order to make a break of structure (BOS). The break of structure occurs when the price passes the approved peak. When BOS occurs, the lowest point between this point and the previous peak is defined as the Swing Low and this is the level that needs to be protected in uptrend. When BOS occurs, the last HL point that made this BOS is also defined as inducement and it continues to move as new HL is formed until the new peak is confirmed. If the price somehow "closes" below the Swing Low point that needs to be protected, CHOCH (change of character) has occurred and the trend direction has changed. After CHOCH, we start applying the same logic for the downtrend, the last LH peak formed after is defined as inducement and as the fractal structure continues downward, this level is also carried as the inducement level until the Swing Low level is determined. An important note is; In order for BOS and CHOCH to be valid, "a closing must definitely occur". If it remains in the form of a wick, we call it a liquidity sweep and the end point of this wick is updated as the point where we need to look for a closing in order to be able to say that the BOS or CHOCH level is determined. By the way, We call these liquidity sweep points as "x" in the indicator.
It may be easier to explain this topic with a few sample images that I have shared below.
The thing to consider in the smart money concept is that if you are going to take a long trade in an uptrend, you should wait for the price to fall below the inducement level or if you are going to take a short trade in a downtrend, you should wait for the price to rise above the inducement level and only then look for suitable structures, order flows, order blocks, price gaps and other structures before this are considered traps in this concept. I have some strategies that I personally apply, but since these are my personal preferences, I do not find it right to share them here in order not to affect your opinions, but I am basically careful to act as I stated above.
While preparing this script, we paid attention to the fact that it can be interpreted with a real human eye, provides ease at the speed of machine language and can work extremely flawlessly.
From the first moment we started preparing the script, we went through a long and seriously laborious preparation process that lasted months until now, which we happily share.
We brought this code to life by putting on the table almost everything the user may want in terms of both flawlessly fulfilling the conditions specified by the concept and convenience.
If we touch on the function of the code in order, our code finds the following;
It perfectly identifies the fractals that form the basis of the market structure, within the framework of the rules that I mentioned above, we taught to the script.
According to smart money concepts, as I explained in detail above, it provides great convenience in this regard by skillfully identifying the direction of the market in the time period you are in, rather than traditional methods.
In addition to identifying the direction of the market, it also detects the direction changes taking place in the internal structure. Indicator tries to detect even the slightest direction changes by making a stricter interpretation while determining the trend and bottom-top points in the internal structure. Theoretically, it determines the top point in a downward fractal breakout, and marks the bottom point in an upward fractal breakout.
In this context, it also uniquely identifies the candle flow direction and we can observe it on the table. I explained this issue in the first image about fractal determination, you can read that part again.
When you identify swing structures correctly, you will also determine the area you need to focus on, and we have also included this in the script.
Another one of our favorite features on the chart is that it can show active swing areas live by following the BOS, CHOCH and Inducement lines. So, I believe that this gives it a more professional appearance.
In the light of all these functions, it provides great ease of use while presenting data on the direction of the market in a table not only in the current time frame but also in 6 different time frames that the user can choose according to his/her preference, including seconds timeframes (1 sec., 5 sec., 15 sec., 30 sec. etc.)
In order to speed up the user, it instantly informs the selected parity and all structural changes (Bos, Choch, Inducement, Liquidity Sweeps etc.) that occur on the market structure of this timeframe by setting a single alarm.
In the settings window, you will find the following settings that we have personalized for you:

Smart DCA StrategyINSPIRATION
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 BITSTAMP: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.
STRATEGY IN ACTION
Here you see the indicator running on the BITSTAMP:BTCUSD pair. You can read the indicator as follows:
Vertical green bands on historical candles represents where buy signals triggered in the past
Table on the top right represents the results of the A/B backtest against a standard DCA strategy
Green Smart Buy column shows that Smart DCA was more profitable than standard DCA on this backtest. That is shown by the percentage GOA (Gain on Account) and the Avg Cost
Smart Buy Zone label marks the threshold which the entire candle must be below to trigger a buy signal (line can be changed to a box under plotting settings)
Green color of Smart Buy Zone label represents that the open candle is still valid for a buy signal. A signal will only be generated if the candle closes while this label is still green
Below is the same BITSTAMP:BTCUSD chart a couple of days later. Notice how the threshold has been broken and the Smart Buy Zone label has turned from green to red. No buy signal can be triggered for this day - even if the candle retraced and closed below the threshold before daily candle close.
Notice how the green vertical bands tend to be present after significant pullbacks in price. This is the reason the strategy works! Below is the same BITSTAMP:BTCUSD chart, but this time zoomed out to present a clearer picture of the times it would invest vs times it would sit out of the market. You will notice it invests heavily in bear markets and significant pullbacks, and does not buy anything during bull markets.
Finally, to visually demonstrate the indicator on an asset other than BTC, here is an example on CRYPTO:ETHUSD . In this case the current daily high has not touched the threshold so it is still possible for this to be a valid buy trigger on daily candle close. The vertical green band will not print until the buy trigger is confirmed.
BACKTEST RESULTS
Now for some backtest results to demonstrate the improved performance over a standard DCA strategy using all non-stablecoin assets in the top 30 cryptos by marketcap.
I've used the TradingView ticker (exchange name denoted as CRYPTO in the symbol search) for every symbol tested with the exception of BTCUSD because there was some dodgy data at the beginning of the TradingView BTCUSD chart which overinflated the effectiveness of the Smart DCA strategy on that ticker. For BTCUSD I've used the BITSTAMP exchange data. The symbol links below will take you to the correct chart and exchange used for the test.
I'm using the GOA (Gain on Account) values to present how each strategy performed.
The value on the left side is the standard DCA result and the right is the Smart DCA result.
✅ means Smart DCA strategy outperformed the standard DCA strategy
❌ means standard DCA strategy outperformed the Smart DCA strategy
To avoid overfitting, and to prove that this strategy does not suffer from overfitting, I've used the exact same input parameters for every symbol tested below. The settings used in these backtests are:
Buying strictness scale: 9
Validation days: 0
You can absolutely tweak the values per symbol to further improve the results of each, however I think using identical settings on every pair tested demonstrates a higher likelihood that the results will be similar in the live markets.
I'm presenting results for two time periods:
First price data available for trading pair -> closing candle on Friday 26th Jan 2024 (ALL TIME)
Opening candle on Sunday 1st Jan 2023 -> closing candle on Friday 26th Jan 2024 (JAN 2023 -> JAN 2024)

Smart Trend EnvelopeThe "Smart Trend Envelope" indicator is a powerful tool that combines the "Nadaraya-Watson Envelope " indicator by LuxAlgo and the "Strongest Trendline" indicator by Julien_Eche.
This indicator provides valuable insights into price trends and projection confidence levels in financial markets. However, it's important to note that the indicator may repaint, meaning that the displayed results can change after the fact.
The "Strongest Trendline" indicator by Julien_Eche focuses on identifying the strongest trendlines using logarithmic transformations of price data. It calculates the slope, average, and intercept of each trendline over user-defined lengths. The indicator also provides standard deviation, Pearson's R correlation coefficient, and upper/lower deviation values to assess the strength and reliability of the trendlines.
In addition, the "Nadaraya-Watson Envelope " indicator developed by LuxAlgo utilizes the Nadaraya-Watson kernel regression technique. It applies a kernel function to smooth the price data and estimate future price movements. The indicator allows adjustment of the bandwidth parameter and multiplier to control the width of the envelope lines around the smoothed line.
Combining these two indicators, the "Smart Trend Envelope" indicator offers traders and investors a comprehensive analysis of price trends and projection confidence levels. It automatically selects the strongest trendline length based on the highest Pearson's R correlation coefficient. Traders can observe the trendlines on the price chart, along with upper and lower envelope lines generated by the Nadaraya-Watson smoothing technique.
The "Smart Trend Envelope" indicator has several qualities that make it a valuable tool for technical analysis:
1. Automatic Length Selection: The indicator dynamically selects the optimal trendline length based on the highest Pearson's R correlation coefficient, ensuring accurate trend analysis.
2. Projection Confidence Level: The indicator provides a projection confidence level ranging from "Ultra Weak" to "Ultra Strong." This allows traders to assess the reliability of the projected trend and make informed trading decisions.
3. Color-Coded Visualization: The indicator uses color schemes, such as teal and red, to highlight the direction of the trend and the corresponding envelope lines. This visual representation makes it easier to interpret the market trends at a glance.
4. Customizable Settings: Traders can adjust parameters such as bandwidth, multiplier, line color, and line width to tailor the indicator to their specific trading strategies and preferences.
The "Smart Trend Envelope" indicator has been specifically designed and coded to be used in logarithmic scale. It takes advantage of the logarithmic scale's ability to represent exponential price movements accurately. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use this indicator with the chart set to logarithmic scale for optimal performance and reliable trend analysis, especially on higher timeframes.
It's important to remember that the "Smart Trend Envelope" indicator may repaint, meaning that the displayed results can change after the fact. Traders should use this indicator as a tool for generating trade ideas and confirmation, rather than relying solely on its historical values. Combining the indicator with other technical analysis tools and considering fundamental factors can lead to more robust trading strategies.
