Weekly ManipulationUnderstanding the "Weekly Manipulation" Indicator
The "Weekly Manipulation" indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify false breakouts in the market—moments. Let me explain how it works in simple terms.
What This Indicator Detects
This indicator spots two specific market behaviors that often indicate manipulation:
1. Single-Day Manipulation (Red/Green Labels)
This occurs when price briefly breaks through a significant daily level but fails to maintain the momentum:
Bearish Manipulation (Red): Price pushes above the previous day's high, but then reverses and closes below that high.
Bullish Manipulation (Green): Price drops below the previous day's low), but then reverses and closes above that low.
2. Two-Day Manipulation (Black Labels)
This is a more complex version of the same pattern, but occurring over a 2-day period. These signals can indicate even stronger manipulation attempts and potentially more powerful reversals.
Why This Matters for Your Trading
By identifying these patterns, you can:
- Avoid getting caught in false breakouts
- Find potential entry points after the manipulation is complete
- Understand when market action might not be genuine price discovery
How to Use This Indicator
1. Look for Red Markers: These appear when price has attempted to break higher but failed. This often suggests bearish potential going forward.
2. Look for Green Markers: These appear when price has attempted to break lower but failed. This often suggests bullish potential going forward.
3. Pay Attention to Black Markers: These 2-day patterns can signal stronger reversals and might be worth giving extra weight in your analysis.
The indicator labels these patterns clearly as "Manipulation" right on your chart, giving you an immediate visual cue when these potential setups occur.

Weekly Trading StrategyStrategy Overview:
This trading strategy is designed for short-term trades over weekly intervals, utilizing the combination of Simple Moving Averages (SMA) for trend identification and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) for overbought/oversold conditions. It aims to capitalize on momentum shifts while mitigating the risk of entering a market at extreme points.
Key Components:
Fast SMA (9 periods): Acts as a short-term trend indicator, providing insights into quick price changes.
Slow SMA (21 periods): Represents a longer-term trend, smoothing out price fluctuations to show a more stable trend line.
RSI (14 periods): An oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements, helping to identify potential reversal points.
Entry Signals:
Buy Signal:
Condition 1: The fast SMA (9 periods) crosses above the slow SMA (21 periods), indicating a potential upward trend shift.
Condition 2: RSI falls below 30, suggesting the asset is potentially oversold and due for a correction upwards.
Sell Signal:
Condition 1: The fast SMA crosses below the slow SMA, signaling a possible downward trend shift.
Condition 2: RSI climbs above 70, indicating the asset might be overbought and could pull back.
Strategy Execution:
Timeframe: This strategy is optimized for a weekly chart (W), where each bar or candle represents one week of trading data.
Alert System: Alerts can be set up for buy and sell signals, allowing traders to react promptly to market conditions without constant chart monitoring.
Risk Management:
This strategy includes inherent risk management by avoiding trades when the market shows extreme conditions via RSI. However, traders should also consider:
Position sizing based on account size and risk tolerance.
Setting stop-loss orders to manage potential losses if the market moves against the position.
Considering additional market analysis or indicators for confirmation before executing trades.
Considerations:
Backtesting: Before live trading, backtest the strategy on historical data to assess performance across different market conditions.
Adaptation: Market dynamics change, so periodic review and adjustment of SMA periods and RSI thresholds might be necessary.
Complementary Analysis: Enhance this strategy with fundamental analysis or other technical indicators for a more robust trading approach.
This strategy is suited for traders looking for weekly swings in the market, balancing between following the trend and spotting potential reversals. However, like all trading strategies, it should not be used in isolation but as part of a broader trading plan.

Pivot Points Weekly - bitcoin by Simon-RoseWeekly Version:
I have written 3 Indicators because i couldn't find what i was looking for in the library, so you can turn each one on and off individually for better visibility.
This are Daily, Weekly and Monthly Pivot Points with their Resistance and Support Points
and also on the Daily with the range between them.
I will also publish some Ideas to show you how to use them if you are not familiar with the traditional pivot points strategy already.
Unlike the usually 3 support & resistances i added 4 of them, specifically for trading bitcoin (on traditional markets this level of volatility usually never gets touched)
Here you can see which lines are what for reference, as the Feature to label lines is missing in Pinescript (if you have a workaround pls tell me ;) )
This is the basic calculation used :
PP = (xHigh+xLow+xClose) / 3
R1 = vPP+(vPP-Low)
R2 = vPP + (High - Low)
R3 = xHigh + 2 * (vPP - Low)
R4 = xHigh + 3 * (vPP - Low)
S1 = vPP-(High - vPP)
S2 = vPP - (High - Low)
S3 = xLow - 2 * (High - PP)
S4 = xLow - 3 * (High - PP)
If you have any questions or suggestions pls write me :)
Happy trading
Cheers

Weekly % Change Screener (5% Sell Threshold)This is a weekly screener for a 5% change in the stock value. If it increases by 5%, we sell and if it decreases by 5% we buy the stock. Good for stable high value stocks. Buy before testing.
Weekly Range PlotterThe Weekly Range Plotter is a dynamic market structure tool designed to help traders visualize critical high and low levels from specific days of the week and the previous week's range. It provides key visual anchors to support analysis of market behavior, including range compression/expansion and directional bias.
Weekly and daily separatorsThis script plots vertical line between each trading week (thick, solid) and smaller lines (dotted) between each trading day. This helps kepping a better overview on the aspect of time on the higher timeframes below 1D. The distance of the lines to the top and bottom of the chart is controlled by your chart settings menu under Appearance -> Margins.
Weekly Volume HeatmapThis tool is designed to visualize how the trading volume of each asset changes during the week.
How to use
This tool can help us better understand the market and answer many questions, such as:
◽ How to avoid getting stop hunted?
Typically, trading volume decreases at certain times of the week, which is the best time for large holders to manipulate the market. Low volume means there is less liquidity in the market. Large transactions in an illiquid market can cause large price changes.
Large holders (whales) have enough capital to push the price in the desired direction to trigger a cascade of stop-loss orders which can move the price further.
After a stop hunt, the market typically reverses, leaving stop hunted traders behind.
It is best to avoid using stop-loss orders and leveraged trading during these hours of the week.
◽ When’s the best time to make decisions
During some hours of the week the trading volume usually decreases; at these times, most traders are inactive and do not participate in transactions.
Therefore, the price changes that occur during these times lack conviction.
It is better to make decisions when there are more active traders in the market. At these periods, a relatively high trading volume is usually observed.
How it works
First, it calculates the average traded volume of each period (for example Monday 9:00 AM) from the first bar to the last bar. It then calculates the ratio of the average traded volume in each period to the average traded volume per week. Finally, the result is displayed as a percentage in each cell.
Different values are distinguished by different background colors. Light colors are used for low values and dark colors are used for high values.
Limits
It only works in the 1 hour time frame.

Futures => ES1!
Forex => EURUSD
weekly MapThis indicator shows the highest and lowest level of the previous week in the current week. This area is also divided into 4 sections that can be controlled from the settings section.
Weekly MM200 distance ratioThis indicator is used to calculate the ratio from the current price and the weekly 200 moving average.
Weekly Open Percent RangeA simple take on finding percentage gain/drop range in a week for ranging or trending market instrument.
This script is hard coded to plot 0 to 3%, -3% range for the week base on instrument weekly open price.
Best to use with measured volatility indicator to gauge the movement of price. Anytime the price goes above the range level then it is likely to be trending. Highly volatile instruments will not find this indicator useful. It is best for heavy instruments like Forex or Indices where range % in a week in a non-volatile move is really quite small that these act as resistances and support.
Range Levels:
3%
2.5%
2%
1.5%
1%
0.75%
0.5%
0.25%
0%
-.25%
-.5%
-.75%
-1%
-1.5%
-2%
-2.5%
-3%
The next step for this indicator is to consider volatility range of instrument and to include this in the percentage zone levels instead of hard coding these.
Weekly VWAP - Starts Monday 12AMThere are a number of VWAP indicators out there, but it's difficult to find VWAP calculations that take the entire week into account. This helps with analyzing longer-term trends on daily and intraday charts. As with all VWAP indicators, this one is also more sensitive to price starting at the open of trading at the beginning of the week.
Weekly Color OverlayThis script facilitates visualization of week-of-the-month breaks with Sunday highlighting the beginning of a new week. Code breaks at the monthly time-period and since I don't ever look at that time period i'm not inclined to fix it unless someone sends me a 'push' via message.

Weekly closeIt turned out not to be that easy to plot the close of the previous week in hourly or daily charts. In my first experiments things went wrong on Friday or intraday if you simply use the security function. So here is the thing with an algorithm that guaranties the correct value.
SPX Weekly Expected Moves# SPX Weekly Expected Moves Indicator
A professional Pine Script indicator for TradingView that displays weekly expected move levels for SPX based on real options data, with integrated Fibonacci retracement analysis and intelligent alerting system.
## Overview
This indicator helps options and equity traders visualize weekly expected move ranges for the S&P 500 Index (SPX) by plotting historical and current week expected move boundaries derived from weekly options pricing. Unlike theoretical volatility calculations, this indicator uses actual market-based expected move data that you provide from options platforms.
## Key Features

- **Current Week Focus**: Highlighted current week with extended lines to present time
- **Friday Close Reference**: Orange baseline showing the previous Friday's close price
- **Timeframe Independent**: Works consistently across all chart timeframes (1m to 1D)
### 🎯 **Fibonacci Integration**
- **Five Fibonacci Levels**: 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 76.4% between Friday close and expected move boundaries
- **Color-Coded Levels**:
- Red: 23.6% & 76.4% (outer levels)
- Blue: 38.2% & 61.8% (golden ratio levels)
- Black: 50% (midpoint - most critical level)
- **Current Week Only**: Fibonacci levels shown only for active trading week to reduce clutter
### 📊 **Real-Time Information Table**

- **Expected Move**: ±EM value for current week
- **Previous Close**: Friday close price (baseline for calculations)
- **100% EM Levels**: Exact upper and lower boundary prices
- **Current Location**: Real-time position within the EM structure (e.g., "Above 38.2% Fib (upper zone)")
### 🚨 **Intelligent Alert System**
- **Zone-Aware Alerts**: Separate alerts for upper and lower zones
- **Key Level Breaches**: Alerts for 23.6% and 76.4% Fibonacci level crossings
- **Bar Close Based**: Alerts trigger on confirmed bar closes, not tick-by-tick
- **Customizable**: Enable/disable alerts through settings
## How It Works
### Data Input Method
The indicator uses a **manual data entry approach** where you input actual expected move values obtained from options platforms:
```pinescript
// Add entries using the options expiration Friday date
map.put(expected_moves, 20250613, 91.244) // Week ending June 13, 2025
map.put(expected_moves, 20250620, 95.150) // Week ending June 20, 2025
```
### Weekly Structure
- **Monday 9:30 AM ET**: Week begins
- **Friday 4:00 PM ET**: Week ends
- **Lines Extend**: From Monday open to Friday close (historical) or current time + 5 bars (current week)
- **Timezone Handling**: Uses "America/New_York" for proper DST handling
### Calculation Logic
1. **Base Price**: Previous Friday's SPX close price
2. **Expected Move**: Market-derived ±EM value from weekly options
3. **Upper Boundary**: Friday Close + Expected Move
4. **Lower Boundary**: Friday Close - Expected Move
5. **Fibonacci Levels**: Proportional levels between Friday close and EM boundaries
## Setup Instructions
### 1. Data Collection
