Position Size Calculator (Fixed % or ATR-based Stop Support)Position Size Calculator (Fixed % or ATR-based Stop Support)
Purpose and Background
This indicator allows traders to calculate appropriate position sizes directly on the chart, based on a key rule:
“What percentage of your capital are you willing to risk per trade?”
While many traders focus on entries and indicators, position sizing and risk allocation are often overlooked.
This tool visualizes and simplifies the “1% risk rule” promoted by IBD (Investor’s Business Daily) and William J. O’Neil, helping both beginners and experienced traders maintain disciplined capital management.
Key Features
Automatically calculates and displays:
・ Position Size
The number of units (shares, contracts, coins) you can hold based on your stop-loss range and risk allowance.
・ Stop Price
The price level at which your stop-loss would be triggered.
・ Risk Amount
The maximum loss per trade based on your portfolio size and risk percentage.
Two stop-loss modes available:
・ Fixed % Mode
O’Neil suggests using up to 8% stop-loss in uptrends and keeping it tighter (around 4%) in corrections. This mode allows flexible manual settings.
・ ATR-Based Mode
Uses the asset’s average volatility to dynamically calculate stop-loss width using the Average True Range (ATR).
ATR Usage and Recommended Settings
ATR helps you avoid noise-based stop-outs and align your risk with market volatility.
There are two parameters you can adjust:
・ ATR Length
Defines how many bars are used to calculate the average range.
・Shorter values (5–10) respond faster for day trades
・Longer values (14–21) offer smoother ranges for swing/position trades(Default is 14)
・ATR Multiplier
Sets how wide the stop-loss is by multiplying the ATR value:
・Day trading: 1.0–1.5×
・Swing trading: 1.5–2.5×
・Position trading: 2.0–3.0×
Practical Examples: Risk % × Stop-Loss % → Max Positions
This tool helps estimate how many positions you can hold in a portfolio based on your risk per trade and stop width.
Examples:
・Risk 0.5%, Stop 8% → Max 16 positions
・Risk 0.5%, Stop 4% → Max 8 positions
・Risk 1.0%, Stop 8% → Max 8 positions
・Risk 1.0%, Stop 4% → Max 4 positions
・Risk 2.0%, Stop 8% → Max 4 positions
・Risk 2.0%, Stop 4% → Max 2 positions
These assume worst-case scenarios where all positions are stopped out simultaneously within your overall portfolio risk limit.

The Traders Support & Resistance LevelsThis script automatically detects pivot-based support and resistance levels and draws dynamic trendlines based on recent price action.
🔹 Support & Resistance Levels
Pivot points are calculated using customizable left/right bar logic. A pivot high (or low) is confirmed when leftBars candles to the left and rightBars candles to the right are lower (or higher).
Triangles are plotted when a level is confirmed:
🔻 🟡 Yellow Down Triangle = Confirmed Resistance
🔺 🟣 Purple Up Triangle = Confirmed Support
Lines are drawn at confirmed levels.
If enough lines are confirmed, the oldest one is converted into a zone using a thick, semi-transparent line.
🔹 Trendline Logic
Trendlines are drawn between the last two support points (for uptrend) and last two resistance points (for downtrend).
The slope and price relationship determine trend strength, visualized by color:
Condition Color Meaning
Uptrend + Price Above + Steep 🟨 Yellow Strong Uptrend
Uptrend + Price Above 🔷 Blue Weak Uptrend
Downtrend + Price Below + Steep 💗 Fuchsia Strong Downtrend
Downtrend + Price Below 🟣 Purple Weak Downtrend
Otherwise ⚪️ Gray Neutral / No Trend

How to use this indicator:
The ADR and ATR can be used to provide information about average price moves to help set targets, stop losses, entries and exits based on the potential average moves.
Example: If the "% of ADR" is reading 100%, then 100% of the asset's average price range has been covered, suggesting that an additional move beyond the range has a lower probability.
Example: "ADR % of Price" provides potential price movement in percentage which can be used to asses R/R for asset.
Example: ADR (D) reading is 100% at market close but ATR (D) is at 70% at close. This suggests that there is a potential move of 30% in Pre/Post market as suggested by averages.
Notes:
These indicators are available as oscillators to place under your chart through trading view but this indicator will place them on the chart in numerical only format.

Relative Directional Volume Indicator# Relative Directional Volume Indicator (RelDirVol)
## Overview
The Relative Directional Volume Indicator (RelDirVol) is a powerful volume analysis tool that measures current trading volume relative to historical volume while differentiating between bullish and bearish volume flows. This indicator helps traders identify unusual volume activity and determine whether it's coming from buyers or sellers, providing deeper insights into market participation and potential trend strength.
## Features
- **Relative Volume Calculation**: Compares current volume to historical averages
- **Directional Volume Analysis**: Separates and visualizes bullish vs bearish volume
- **Multiple Moving Average Options**: Customize smoothing with various MA types (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA)
- **Split Moving Averages**: View distinct moving averages for bullish and bearish volume flows
- **Reference Lines**: Visual guides for normal volume (1.0x) and key deviation levels (0.5x, 2.0x, 3.0x)
- **Customizable Colors**: Adjust visual appearance for improved chart readability
## How It Works
The indicator calculates the relative volume by dividing the current bar's volume by the average volume over a specified lookback period. It then categorizes this volume as either bullish (when price closes above the open) or bearish (when price closes below or equal to the open).
1. **Relative Volume**: Current volume ÷ Average volume from previous N bars
2. **Directional Classification**: Assigns volume to bullish or bearish categories based on price action
3. **Moving Averages**: Applies user-selected moving average to smooth the data
The result is displayed as color-coded histogram bars showing the relative volume magnitude, with optional moving average lines for both overall and direction-specific volume trends.
## Interpretation
### Volume Magnitude
- **Above 1.0**: Higher than average volume (more participation than normal)
- **Below 1.0**: Lower than average volume (less participation than normal)
- **2.0+**: Volume twice the normal level (significant participation)
- **3.0+**: Volume three times normal (exceptional participation, often at key events)
### Directional Analysis
- **Strong Green Bars**: Heavy bullish participation driving prices up
- **Strong Red Bars**: Heavy bearish participation driving prices down
- **Bullish MA > Bearish MA**: Overall buying pressure dominating
- **Bearish MA > Bullish MA**: Overall selling pressure dominating
### Key Signals
- **Volume Spikes with Price Breakouts**: Confirms strength of the move
- **Divergence Between MAs**: Early warning of potential shift in market control
- **Sustained Above-Average Volume**: Strong trend continuation likely
- **Volume Decline After Spike**: Potential exhaustion of trend
## Settings
- **Relative Volume Lookback**: Comparison period for average volume (default: 20)
- **Moving Average Type**: Method used for smoothing (default: SMA)
- **Moving Average Length**: Smoothing period (default: 5)
- **Show Moving Average**: Toggle overall volume MA visibility
- **Show Baseline**: Toggle 1.0 reference line visibility
- **Show Bullish/Bearish MAs**: Toggle direction-specific MA visibility
## Best Practices
This indicator performs best when combined with price action analysis and other indicators. Look for:
1. Volume confirmation of breakouts and trend changes
2. Divergence between price movement and volume direction
3. Shifts in the relationship between bullish and bearish MAs
4. Unusual volume patterns during consolidation phases
Particularly effective for swing trading, day trading, and identifying institutional participation in market moves across multiple timeframes.
Volumetric Pivot Echo🔮 Volumetric Pivot Echo (VPE)
Future Price Projection Zones with Confidence Scoring
📘 Overview
The Volumetric Pivot Echo (VPE) is a next-generation leading indicator that identifies high-volume reversal points and echoes their price + time behavior into the future — giving you a visual forecast box that includes a confidence score, price range, and duration estimate.
It’s designed for swing and options traders who want forward guidance based on real structure, not just reactive signals.
⚙️ How It Works
Pivot Detection – Finds pivot highs/lows based on configurable bar structure.
Volume Confirmation – Only confirms pivots backed by strong volume (e.g., 1.5× average).
Echo Logic – Measures the price move and time it took to reach the pivot.
ATR Scaling – Adjusts projections based on current market volatility.
Confidence Score – Rates each projection (0–100%) based on structure match, volatility, and direction alignment.
📦 What Appears on Chart
Projection Box:
A forward-drawn rectangle from the current bar to the estimated future zone. The box's size and duration mirror the last valid momentum leg.
Box Label Text:
🔹 Range (projected move size)
⏱️ Duration (bars expected)
✅ Confidence %
VPH/VPL Markers:
Pivot highs and lows confirmed by volume, marked with “VPH” or “VPL”.
🎯 How to Trade with It
Use the box as a target zone for directional trades.
If price enters a box with >85% confidence, consider it a high-quality path projection.
Use with support/resistance confluence or entry systems.
Works especially well for swing trading, breakout setups, or options targeting.
🛠️ Recommended Settings
Box Transparency: Set Projection Up/Down Color to 90 (10% visible).
Text Color: Set to white for readability.
Volume Multiplier: Default 1.5x, increase in choppy markets.
Projection Duration: Start with 1.0x echo multiplier and fine-tune.
⏳ Timeframes & Accuracy
Timeframe Confidence Zones Most Reliable
15m – 1h Use 70–85% confidence scores
1h – 4h Sweet spot for balanced signals
1D – 1W Strongest historical echo tracking (>85% ideal)
✅ Key Features
Forward-looking, non-repainting logic
Clear visual projections — no guesswork
Confidence scoring built-in
ATR-adjusted — adapts to volatility
Works on any asset (stocks, crypto, FX)
🧠 Why It’s Unique
This is not a lagging oscillator or classic trend-following tool.
It’s a leading structure projection model — combining pivot behavior, volume intensity, and market volatility to sketch forward “echo zones” based on the past.
ETI IndicatorThe Ensemble Technical Indicator (ETI) is a script that combines multiple established indicators into one single powerful indicator. Specifically, it takes a number of technical indicators and then converts them into +1 to represent a bullish trend, or a -1 to represent a bearish trend. It then adds these values together and takes the running sum over the past 20 days.
The ETI is composed of the following indicators and converted to +1 or -1 using the following criteria:
Simple Moving Average (10 days) : When the price is above the 10-day simple moving averaging, +1, when below -1
Weighted Moving Average (10 days) : Similar to the SMA 10, when the the price is above the 10-day weighted moving average, +1, when below -1
Stochastic K% : If the current Stochastic K% is greater than the previous value, then +1, else -1.
Stochastic D% : Similar to the Stochastic K%, when the current Stochastic D% is greater than the previous value, +1, else -1.
MACD Difference : First subtract the MACD signal (i.e. the moving average) from the MACD value and if the current value is higher than the previous value, then +1, else -1.
William's R% : If the current William's R% is greater than the previous one, then +1, else -1.
William's Accumulation/Distribution : If the current William's AD value is greater than the previous value, then +1, else -1.
Commodity Channel Index : If the Commodity Channel Index is greater than 200 (overbought), then -1, if it is less than -200 (oversold) then +1. When it is between those values, if the current value is greater than the previous value then +1, else -1.
Relative Strength Index : If the Relative Strength Index is over 70 (overbought) then -1 and if under 30 (oversold) then +1. If the Relative Strength Indicator is between those values then if the current value is higher than the previous value +1, else -1.
Momentum (9 days) : If the momentum value is greater than 0, then +1, else -1.
Again, once these values have been calculated and converted, they are added up to produce a single value. This single value is then summed across the previous 20 candles to produce a running sum.
By coalescing multiple technical indicators into a single value across time, traders can better understand how multiple inter-related indicators are behaving at once; high scores indicate that numerous indicators are showing bullish signals indicating a potential or ongoing uptrend (and vice-versa with low scores).
Additional Features
Numerous smoothing transformations have also been added (e.g. gaussian smoothing) to remove some of the noise might exist.
Suggested Use
It is recommended that stocks are shorted when the cross below 0, and are bought when the ETI crosses above -40. Arrows can be shown on the indicator to show these points. However feel free to use levels that work best for you.
Traditionally, I have treated values above +50 as overbought and below -40 as undersold (with -80 indicating extremely oversold); however these levels could also indicate either upwards and downwards momentum so taking a position based on where the ETI is (rather than crossing levels) should be done with caution.
Gamma + Fibonacci EMA Bands# Gamma + Fibonacci EMA Bands
## Overview
The Gamma + Fibonacci EMA Bands indicator combines two powerful analytical approaches: Gamma-weighted Exponential Moving Averages and Fibonacci sequence-based standard EMAs. This dual system creates a comprehensive "band" structure that helps identify trend direction, strength, and potential reversal zones with greater precision than single moving average systems.
## Features
- **Gamma-weighted EMAs**: Three customizable Gamma EMAs (fast-responding) with adjustable gamma parameters
- **Fibonacci Sequence EMAs**: Six standard EMAs based on the Fibonacci sequence (34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377)
- **Visual Band Structure**: Color-coded for instant visual analysis
- **Trend Confirmation**: Multiple timeframe validation through varied moving average periods
- **Support/Resistance Identification**: Natural price reaction zones highlighted by EMA confluences
## How It Works
The indicator uses two complementary EMA systems:
1. **Gamma EMAs** (γ-EMAs) - These responsive moving averages use a direct gamma weighting factor (between 0-1) rather than a period length. Lower gamma values create smoother lines, while higher values create more responsive ones. These react quickly to price changes and serve as short-term trend indicators.
2. **Fibonacci EMAs** - These traditional EMAs use period lengths based on the Fibonacci sequence (34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377). They provide longer-term trend context and naturally identify key support/resistance levels that align with market psychology.
## Interpretation
### Trend Direction
- When price is above all bands: Strong bullish trend
- When price is below all bands: Strong bearish trend
- When price is between bands: Consolidation or trend transition
### Support/Resistance
- Gamma EMAs (purple shades): Short-term dynamic support/resistance
- Fibonacci EMAs (orange/red shades): Stronger, longer-term support/resistance
### Trend Strength
- Wider band separation: Stronger trend momentum
- Compressed bands: Consolidation or trend weakness
### Reversal Signals
- Price breaking through multiple bands: Potential trend reversal
- Gamma EMAs crossing Fibonacci EMAs: Changing momentum
## Settings
- **Source**: Price data source (default: close)
- **Gamma 1**: Fast γ-EMA value (default: 0.2)
- **Gamma 2**: Medium γ-EMA value (default: 0.5)
- **Gamma 3**: Slow γ-EMA value (default: 0.8)
## Notes
This indicator works best on higher timeframes (1H+) and liquid markets. The Gamma-weighted EMAs provide faster signals while the Fibonacci sequence EMAs provide reliable support/resistance levels that often align with key market turning points.
For optimal use, watch for price interaction with these bands and how the bands interact with each other to confirm trend changes before they become obvious to the majority of market participants.
Darvas Box Breakout Signals v6 (Manus)Purpose:
This script is designed for TradingView to automatically identify potential "Darvas Boxes" on your price chart and signal when the price breaks out of these boxes.
How it Works:
Finds Highs: It looks back over a set number of bars (default is 20, but you can change this) to find the highest price point.
Confirms Box Top: It waits until the price stays below that high point for a specific number of bars (default is 3) to confirm the top of the box.
Confirms Box Bottom: After the top is confirmed, it looks for the lowest price reached and waits until the price stays above that low point for the same number of bars (3) to confirm the bottom of the box.
Draws Box (Optional): If enabled in the settings, it draws lines on the chart representing the top and bottom of the confirmed box.
What Signals It Shows:
Breakout Signal: When the price closes above the top line of a confirmed box, it plots a green upward-pointing triangle above that price bar. This suggests the stock might be starting a move higher.
Breakdown Signal: When the price closes below the bottom line of a confirmed box, it plots a red downward-pointing triangle below that price bar. This suggests the stock might be starting a move lower.
Key Features:
Uses the Darvas Box theory logic.
Provides clear visual signals for potential entries based on breakouts or breakdowns.
Allows customization of the lookback period and confirmation bars via the indicator settings.
Written in Pine Script version 6.
Remember, this script just provides signals based on price patterns; it doesn't predict the future or guarantee profits. It should be used as one tool within the larger trading plan we discussed, especially considering risk management.
Directional Movement Index (DMI) + AlertsThis is a Study with associated visual indicators and Bullish/Bearish Alerts for Directional Movement (DMI). It consists of an Average Directional Index (ADX), Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI).
Published by J. Welles Wilder in 1978 for use with currencies and commodities which are typically more volatile than stocks and have stronger trends.
Development Notes
---------------------------
This indicator, and most of the descriptions below, were derived largely from the TradingView reference manual. Feedback and suggestions for improvement are more than welcome, as well are recommended Input settings and best practices for use.
tradingview.com/chart/?solution=43000502250
Strategy Description
---------------------------
ADX defines whether or not there is a trend present; +DI and -DI compliment the ADX by taking direction into account. An ADX above 25 indicates a strong trend, and a Bullish alert is subsequently triggered when +DI is above -DI and a Bearish alert when -DI is above +DI.
Note that the Bullish or Bearish crossover alert will only trigger if ADX is simultaneously above 25 during the crossover event. If ADX later rises to 25 and +DI is still greater than -DI, or -DI greater than +DI, then a delayed alert will not trigger by design.
Basic Use
---------------------------
Acceptable DMI values are up to the trader's interpretation and may change depending on the financial instrument being examined. Recommend not changing any default values without being first familiar with their purpose and impact on the indicator at large.
Confidence in price action and trend is higher when two or more indicators are in agreement -- therefore we recommend not using this indicator by itself to determine entry or exit trade opportunities.
Recommend also choosing 'Once Per Bar Close' when creating alerts.
Inputs
---------------------------
ADX Smoothing - the time period to be used in calculating the ADX which has a smoothing component (14 is the Default).
DI Length - the time period to be used in calculating the DI (14 is the Default).
Key Level - any trade with the ADX above the key level is a strong indicator that it is trending (23 to 25 is the suggested setting).
Sensitivity - an incremental variable to test whether the past n candles are in the same bullish or bearish state before triggering a delayed crossover alert (3 is the Default). Filter out some noise and reduces active alerts.
Show ADX Option - two visual styles are provided for user preference, a visible ADX line or a background overlay (green or red when ADX is above the key level, for bullish or bearish, and gray when below).
Color Candles - an option to transpose the bullish and bearish crossovers to the main candle bars. Can be turned off in the Style Tab by deselecting 'Bar Colors'. Dark blue is bullish, dark purple is bearish, and the black inner color is neutral. Note that the outer red and green border will still be distinguished by whether each individual candle is bearish or bullish during the specified timeframe.
Indicator Visuals
---------------------------
Bullish or Bearish plot based on DMI strategy (ADX and +/-DI values).
Visual cues are intended to improve analysis and decrease interpretation time during trading, as well as to aid in understanding the purpose of this study and how its inclusion can benefit a comprehensive trading strategy.
Trend Strength
---------------------------
To analyze trend strength, the focus should be on the ADX line and not the +DI or -DI lines. An ADX reading above 25 indicates a strong trend, while a reading below 20 indicates a weak or non-existent trend. A reading between those two values would be considered indeterminable. Though what is truly a strong trend or a weak trend depends on the financial instrument being examined; historical analysis can assist in determining appropriate values.
Bullish DI Cross
---------------------------
1. ADX must be over 25 (strong trend) (value is determined by the trader)
2. +DI cross above -DI
3. Set Stop Loss at the current day's low (any +DI cross-backs below -DI should be ignored)
4. Set trailing stop if ADX strengthens (i.e., signal rises)
Bearish DI Cross
---------------------------
1. ADX must be over 25 (strong trend) (value is determined by the trader)
2. -DI cross above +DI
3. Set Stop Loss at the current day's high (any -DI cross-backs below +DI should be ignored)
4. Set trailing stop if ADX strengthens (i.e., signal rises)
Disclaimer
---------------------------
This post and the script are not intended to provide any financial advice. Trade at your own risk.
No known repainting.
Version 1.1
-------------------------
- Added multi-timeframe resolution using PineCoders secure security function to eliminate repainting.
- Cleaned up option for selecting ADX view; and added a colored line as a choice, based on same bullish, bearish, or neutral colors as the background.
- Added exit crossover indicator to aid in an overall strategy development. This ability pairs better with my CHOP Zone Entry Strategy which relies on DMI Exits. Note that exit conditions don't employ the sensitivity variable. Green labels are for Bullish exits and red are for Bearish.
-- Exit condition is triggered if in an active Bullish or Bearish position and ADX drops below 25, Or if either the -DI crosses above +DI (for previously Bullish) or +DI crosses above -DI (for previously Bearish).
- Added reverse position determination. Triggers when a Bullish entry occurs on the same candle as a Bearish exit, or vice versa. Green labels are for Bullish reverses and red are for Bearish.
- Added selectable option to choose visible labels -- Bearish, Bullish, Both, Exits, Reverses, or All.
-- Note that a reverse label will only show if the opposing entry and exit labels are set to show, otherwise the reverse will revert to the appropriate entry or exit on the chart.
- Added alerts to account for new conditions.
-- Note that alerts for crossovers, exits, and reverses will only be triggered if the associated labels are selected to be shown (i.e., what you choose to see on the chart is what you will be alerted to).
Version 1.2
-------------------------
- Changed exit condition to be decided on by whether ADX is below 25 and on a +/-DI crossover. Versus being either or. The previous version had too many false triggers. This variety can now show multiple Bullish or Bearish alerts before an Exit condition too. I'm tempted to simply make this condition based on ADX, and not DI … thoughts? See lines 138 and 139.
- Updated the Background view to have deeper shades of colors dependent upon the ADX trend strength.
- Added an Oscillator view for the ADX and momentum computations to color the histogram by trend. DI lines are hidden.
-- If ADX is Bullish, then the oscillator is colored light green in an uptrend and dark green in a downtrend; if Bearish, then its light red in an uptrend and dark redin a downtrend; if adx is below key level, then it is light gray in a downtrend and dark grey in the uptrend.
- Added option to Hide ADX in case only the Directional lines are desired. This could be useful if you would like to have the ADX oscillator in one panel and +/-DI crossovers in another.
- Added a Columnar view for the ADX. DI lines are hidden. This view is really simple and compact, with the trend strength still easily understood. Colors are the same as for the oscillator -- the deeper the shade of green or red, then the higher the ADX trend strength level.
- Added a Trend Strength label.
ADX Trend Strength Trade (Y/N) Setup Types
0 to 10 = Barely Breathing N N/A
10 to 20 = Weak Trend Y Range/Pre-Breakout
20 to 30 = Potentially Starting to Trend Y Early Stage Trend
30 to 50 = Strong Trend Y Ride the Wave
50 to 75 = Very Strong Trend N Exhaustion
75 to 100 = Extremely Strong Trend N N/A
Version 1.3
-------------------------
Updated to Pine Script v5 to resolve errors from the deprecated v4 version.
This is a reissue of a previously published script that was hidden due to a v4 compatibility issue.

Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG)Overview
The Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG) (ICT/SMT) indicator is a specialized tool designed for traders using Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodologies. Inspired by LuxAlgo's Fair Value Gap indicator, this script introduces significant enhancements by integrating ICT principles, focusing on precise time-based FVG detection, inversion tracking, and retest signals tailored for institutional trading strategies. Unlike LuxAlgo’s general FVG approach, this indicator filters FVGs within customizable 10-minute windows aligned with ICT’s macro timeframes and incorporates ICT-specific concepts like mitigation, liquidity grabs, and session-based gap prioritization.
This tool is optimized for 1–5 minute charts, though probably best for 1 minute charts, identifying bullish and bearish FVGs, tracking their mitigation into inverted FVGs (iFVGs) as key support/resistance zones, and generating retest signals with customizable “Close” or “Wick” confirmation. Features like ATR-based filtering, optional FVG labels, mitigation removal, and session-specific FVG detection (e.g., first FVG in AM/PM sessions) make it a powerful tool for ICT traders.
Originality and Improvements
While inspired by LuxAlgo’s FVG indicator (credit to LuxAlgo for their foundational work), this script significantly extends the original concept by:
1. Time-Based FVG Detection: Unlike LuxAlgo’s continuous FVG identification, this script filters FVGs within user-defined 10-minute windows each hour (:00–:10, :10–:20, etc.), aligning with ICT’s emphasis on specific periods of institutional activity, such as hourly opens/closes or kill zones (e.g., New York 7:00–11:00 AM EST). This ensures FVGs are relevant to high-probability ICT setups.
2. Session-Specific First FVG Option: A unique feature allows traders to display only the first FVG in ICT-defined AM (9:30–10:00 AM EST) or PM (1:30–2:00 PM EST) sessions, reflecting ICT’s focus on initial market imbalances during key liquidity events.
3. ICT-Driven Mitigation and Inversion Logic: The script tracks FVG mitigation (when price closes through a gap) and converts mitigated FVGs into iFVGs, which serve as ICT-style support/resistance zones. This aligns with ICT’s view that mitigated gaps become critical reversal points, unlike LuxAlgo’s simpler gap display.
4. Customizable Retest Signals: Retest signals for iFVGs are configurable for “Close” (conservative, requiring candle body confirmation) or “Wick” (faster, using highs/lows), catering to ICT traders’ need for precise entry timing during liquidity grabs or Judas swings.
5. ATR Filtering and Mitigation Removal: An optional ATR filter ensures only significant FVGs are displayed, reducing noise, while mitigation removal declutters the chart by removing filled gaps, aligning with ICT’s principle that mitigated gaps lose relevance unless inverted.
6. Timezone and Timeframe Safeguards: A timezone offset setting aligns FVG detection with EST for ICT’s New York-centric strategies, and a timeframe warning alerts users to avoid ≥1-hour charts, ensuring accuracy in time-based filtering.
These enhancements make the script a distinct tool that builds on LuxAlgo’s foundation while offering ICT traders a tailored, high-precision solution.
How It Works
FVG Detection
FVGs are identified when a candle’s low is higher than the high of two candles prior (bullish FVG) or a candle’s high is lower than the low of two candles prior (bearish FVG). Detection is restricted to:
• User-selected 10-minute windows (e.g., :00–:10, :50–:60) to capture ICT-relevant periods like hourly transitions.
• AM/PM session first FVGs (if enabled), focusing on 9:30–10:00 AM or 1:30–2:00 PM EST for key market opens.
An optional ATR filter (default: 0.25× ATR) ensures only gaps larger than the threshold are displayed, prioritizing significant imbalances.
Mitigation and Inversion
When price closes through an FVG (e.g., below a bullish FVG’s bottom), the FVG is mitigated and becomes an iFVG, plotted as a support/resistance zone. iFVGs are critical in ICT for identifying reversal points where institutional orders accumulate.
Retest Signals
The script generates signals when price retests an iFVG:
• Close: Triggers when the candle body confirms the retest (conservative, lower noise).
• Wick: Triggers when the candle’s high/low touches the iFVG (faster, higher sensitivity). Signals are visualized with triangular markers (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish) and can trigger alerts.
Visualization
• FVGs: Displayed as colored boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish) with optional “Bull FVG”/“Bear FVG” labels.
• iFVGs: Shown as extended boxes with dashed midlines, limited to the user-defined number of recent zones (default: 5).
• Mitigation Removal: Mitigated FVGs/iFVGs are removed (if enabled) to keep the chart clean.
How to Use
Recommended Settings
• Timeframe: Use 1–5 minute charts for precision, avoiding ≥1-hour timeframes (a warning label appears if misconfigured).
• Time Windows: Enable :00–:10 and :50–:60 for hourly open/close FVGs, or use the “Show only 1st presented FVG” option for AM/PM session focus.
• ATR Filter: Keep enabled (multiplier 0.25–0.5) for significant gaps; disable on 1-minute charts for more FVGs during volatility.
• Signal Preference: Use “Close” for conservative entries, “Wick” for aggressive setups.
• Timezone Offset: Set to -5 for EST (or -4 for EDT) to align with ICT’s New York session.
Trading Strategy
1. Macro Timeframes: Focus on New York (7:00–11:00 AM EST) or London (2:00–5:00 AM EST) kill zones for high institutional activity.
2. FVG Entries: Trade bullish FVGs as support in uptrends or bearish FVGs as resistance in downtrends, especially in :00–:10 or :50–:60 windows.
3. iFVG Retests: Enter on retest signals (▲/▼) during liquidity grabs or Judas swings, using “Close” for confirmation or “Wick” for speed.
4. Session FVGs: Use the “Show only 1st presented FVG” option to target the first gap in AM/PM sessions, often tied to ICT’s market maker algorithms.
5. Risk Management: Combine with ICT concepts like order blocks or breaker blocks for confluence, and set stops beyond FVG/iFVG boundaries.
Alerts
Set alerts for:
• “Bullish FVG Detected”/“Bearish FVG Detected”: New FVGs in selected windows.
• “Bullish Signal”/“Bearish Signal”: iFVG retest confirmations.
Settings Description
• Show Last (1–100, default: 5): Number of recent iFVGs to display. Lower values reduce clutter.

Why Use This Indicator?
This indicator empowers ICT traders with a tool that goes beyond generic FVG detection, offering precise, time-filtered gaps and inversion tracking aligned with institutional trading principles. By focusing on ICT’s macro timeframes, session-specific imbalances, and customizable signal logic, it provides a clear edge for scalping, swing trading, or reversal setups in high-liquidity markets.
Best SMA FinderThis script, Best SMA Finder, is a tool designed to identify the most robust simple moving average (SMA) length for a given chart, based on historical backtest performance. It evaluates hundreds of SMA values (from 10 to 1000) and selects the one that provides the best balance between profitability, consistency, and trade frequency.
What it does:
The script performs individual backtests for each SMA length using either "Long Only" or "Buy & Sell" logic, as selected by the user. For each tested SMA, it computes:
- Total number of trades
- Profit Factor (total profits / total losses)
- Win Rate
- A composite Robustness Score, which integrates Profit Factor, number of trades (log-scaled), and win rate.
Only SMA configurations that meet the user-defined minimum trade count are considered valid. Among all valid candidates, the script selects the SMA length with the highest robustness score and plots it on the chart.
How to use it:
- Choose the strategy type: "Long Only" or "Buy & Sell"
- Set the minimum trade count to filter out statistically irrelevant results
- Enable or disable the summary stats table (default: enabled)
The selected optimal SMA is plotted on the chart in blue. The optional table in the top-right corner shows the corresponding SMA length, trade count, Profit Factor, Win Rate, and Robustness Score for transparency.
Key Features:
- Exhaustive SMA optimization across 991 values
- Customizable trade direction and minimum trade filters
- In-chart visualization of results via table and plotted optimal SMA
- Uses a custom robustness formula to rank SMA lengths
Use cases:
Ideal for traders who want to backtest and auto-select a historically effective SMA without manual trial-and-error. Useful for swing and trend-following strategies across different timeframes.
📌 Limitations:
- Not a full trading strategy with position sizing or stop-loss logic
- Only one entry per direction at a time is allowed
- Designed for exploration and optimization, not as a ready-to-trade system
This script is open-source and built entirely from original code and logic. It does not replicate any closed-source script or reuse significant external open-source components.
Triangle Breakout Strategy with TP/SL, EMA Filter📌 Triangle Breakout Strategy with TP/SL, EMA Filters, and Backtest – Explained.
✅ 1. Pattern Detection – Triangle Breakout
The script scans for triangle patterns by detecting local pivot highs and pivot lows.
It uses two recent highs and two recent lows to draw converging trendlines (upper and lower boundaries of the triangle).
If the price breaks above the upper trendline, a bullish breakout signal is generated.
🎯 2. TP (Take Profit) & SL (Stop Loss)
When a bullish breakout is detected:
A buy order is placed using strategy.entry.
TP and SL levels are calculated relative to the current close price:
TP = 3% above the entry price
SL = 1.5% below the entry price
These are defined using strategy.exit.
📊 3. EMA Filter
An optional filter checks if:
Price is above both EMA 20 and EMA 50
Only if this condition is met, the strategy allows a long entry.
You can toggle the filter on or off with useEMAFilter.
📈 4. Backtesting with Strategy Tester
This script uses strategy() instead of indicator() to enable TradingView’s built-in backtest engine.
Every buy entry and exit (based on TP or SL) is recorded.
📌 5. Visuals
EMA 20 and EMA 50 lines are plotted on the chart.
A label is shown when a breakout is detected: "Breakout Up"
Results (profit, win rate, drawdown, etc.) can be viewed in the Strategy Tester panel.
Price-Confirmed Hull Moving AverageThis is a modified HULL moving average that adds some enhancements providing visual clues as to a change in trend direction. The user can add slight modifications to the abruptness of trend change indications, which are clearly seen by the color change of the hull line itself. The user can also choose to have the background color change for easier visual indication that the hull line has changed slope direction. In addition, the user can either have both the line and the background visuals on, or turn one or the other (or both) off.
The purpose of this HULL moving average is to provide easy identification of trend direction within the scope of the moving average values provided in settings.
ORB Advanced Cloud Indicator & FIB's by TenAMTraderSummary: ORB Advanced Cloud Indicator with Alerts and Fibonacci Retracement Targets by TenAMTrader
This TradingView script is an advanced version of the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator, enhanced with visual clouds and Fibonacci retracement/extension levels. It is designed to help traders identify key price levels and track price movements relative to those levels throughout the trading day. The script includes alert functionalities to notify traders when price crosses key levels and when Fibonacci levels are reached, which can serve as potential entry and exit targets.
Key Features:
Primary and Secondary Range Calculation:
The indicator calculates the primary range (defined by a start and end time) and optionally, a secondary range.
The primary range includes the highest and lowest prices during the designated time period, as well as the midpoint of this range.
The secondary range (if enabled) tracks another price range during a second time period, with its own high, low, and midpoint.
Visual Clouds:
The script draws colored clouds between the high, midpoint, and low of the opening range.
The upper cloud spans between the Opening High and Midpoint, while the lower cloud spans between the Midpoint and Opening Low.
Similarly, a second set of clouds can be drawn for the secondary range (if enabled).
Fibonacci Levels:
The script calculates Fibonacci retracement and extension levels based on the primary range (the difference between the Opening High and Opening Low).
Fibonacci levels can be used as entry and exit targets in a trading strategy, as these levels often act as potential support/resistance zones.
Fibonacci levels include standard values like -0.236, -0.382, -0.618, and positive extensions like 1.236, 1.618, etc.
Customizable Alerts:
Alerts can be set to trigger when:
The price crosses above the Opening High.
The price crosses below the Opening Low.
The price crosses the Opening Midpoint.
These alerts can help traders act quickly on important price movements relative to the opening range.
Customization Options:
The indicator allows users to adjust the time settings for both the primary and secondary ranges.
Custom colors can be set for the lines, clouds, and Fibonacci levels.
The visibility of each line and cloud can be toggled on or off, giving users flexibility in how the chart is displayed.
Fibonacci Levels Overview:
The script includes several Fibonacci retracement and extension levels:
Negative Retracements (e.g., -0.236, -0.382, -0.50, -0.618, etc.) are plotted below the Opening Low, and can act as potential support levels in a downtrend.
Positive Extensions (e.g., 1.236, 1.382, 1.618, 2.0, etc.) are plotted above the Opening High, and can act as potential resistance levels in an uptrend.
Fib levels can be used as entry and exit targets to capitalize on price reversals or breakouts.

Signal Reliability Based on Condition Count
The reliability of the buy/sell signals increases as more conditions are met. Here's a breakdown of the probabilities:
1. 1-3 Conditions Met: Lower Probability
o Signals that meet only 1-3 conditions tend to have lower reliability and are considered less probable. These signals may represent false positives or weaker market movements, and traders should approach them with caution.
2. 4 Conditions Met: More Reliable Signal
o When 4 conditions are met, the signal becomes more reliable. This indicates that multiple indicators or market patterns are aligning, increasing the likelihood of a valid buy/sell opportunity. While not foolproof, it's a stronger indication that the market may be moving in a particular direction.
3. 5-6 Conditions Met: Strong Signal
o A signal meeting 5-6 conditions is considered a strong signal. This indicates a well-confirmed move, with several technical indicators and market factors aligning to suggest a higher probability of success. These are the signals that traders often prioritize.
4. 7+ Conditions Met: Rare and High-Confidence Signal
o Signals that meet 7 or more conditions are rare and should be considered high-confidence signals. These represent a significant alignment of multiple factors, and while they are less frequent, they are highly reliable when they do occur. Traders can be more confident in acting on these signals, but they should still monitor market conditions for confirmation.
________________________________________
You can adjust the number of conditions as needed, but this breakdown should give a clear structure on how the signal strength correlates with the number of conditions met!
Z-Score Trend Monitor [EdgeTerminal]The Z-Score Trend Monitor measures how far the short-term moving average deviates from the long-term moving average using the spread difference of the two — in standardized units. It’s designed to detect overextension, momentum exhaustion, and potential mean-reversion points by converting the spread between two moving averages into a normalized Z-score and tracking its change and direction over time.
The idea behind this is to catch the changes in the direction of a trend earlier than the usual and lagging moving average lines, allowing you to react faster.
The math behind the indicator itself is very simple. We take the simple moving average of the spread between a long term and short term moving average, and divide it by the difference between the spread and spread mean.
This results in a relatively accurate and early acting trend detector that can easily identify overbought and oversold levels in any timeframe. From our own testing, we recommend using this indicator as a trend confirmation tool.
How to Use It:
Keep an eye on the Z-Score or the blue line. When it goes over 2, it indicates an overbought or near top level, and when it goes below -2, it indicates an oversold or near bottom.
When Z-Score returns to zero or grey line, it suggests mean reversion is in progress.
You can also change the Z-Score criteria from 2 and -2 in the settings to any number you’d like for tighter or wider levels.
For scalping and fast trading setups, we recommend shorter SMAs, such as 5 and 20, and for longer trading setups such as swing trades, we recommend 20 and 100.
Settings:
Short SMA: Lookback period of short term simple moving average for the lower side of the SMA spread.
Short Term Weight: Additional weight or multiplier to suppress the short term SMA calculation. This is used to refine the SMA calculation for more granular and edge cases when needed, usually left at 1, meaning it will take the entire given value in the short SMA field.
Long SMA: Lookback period of long term simple moving average for the upper side of the SMA spread.
Long Term Weight: Additional weight or multiplier to suppress the long term SMA calculation. This is used to refine the long SMA calculation for more granular and edge cases when needed, usually left at 1, meaning it will take the entire given value in the long SMA field.
Z-Score Threshold: The threshold for upper (oversold) and lower (overbought) levels. This can also be set individually from the style page.
Z-Score Lookback Window: The lookback period to calculate spread mean and spread standard deviation
Half Supertrend [NLR]While the Supertrend is a popular tool, traders often face the challenge of false signals and uncertain entry points. The Half Supertrend indicator addresses these shortcomings by introducing a dynamic mid-level , offering a significantly improved way to identify true trend strength and potential high-probability entries.
Here's how the mid-level enhances your trend analysis:
Filter Out Noise: Instead of reacting to every Supertrend flip, the mid-level helps you identify the strength of the trend. Price moving strongly away from the mid-level confirms a higher conviction move.
Identify Optimal Pullback Entries: Waiting for price to pull back to the dynamic mid-level after a Supertrend direction change can provide better entry prices and potentially higher probability setups, capitalizing on established momentum. This approach helps avoid entering prematurely on weaker signals.
Gain Deeper Trend Insight: The position of the price relative to both the Supertrend line and the mid-level paints a clearer picture of the current trend's strength and potential for continuation or reversal.
Here's the technical edge you've been waiting for:
Enhanced Trend Confirmation: This indicator plots a mid-level derived from half the Average True Range (ATR) multiple, acting as a crucial intermediary for assessing trend strength.
Intra-Trend Strength Analysis:
Price above/below the mid-level: Indicates a strong trending move aligned with the Supertrend direction.
Price between the mid-level and the Supertrend line: Suggests a weaker trend and a higher probability of consolidation or reversal.
Early Reversal Detection: Price crossing the mid-level can serve as an early warning signal of a potential trend change.
Higher Timeframe Clarity: The user-configurable higher timeframe (HTF) input provides a robust, multi-timeframe trend bias.
Dynamic Entry Levels: Potential entry levels based on the mid-level are plotted for visual guidance.
Clear Visual Representation: Color-coded lines and filled areas simplify trend and strength assessment.
How it works under the hood:
This indicator utilizes the standard Supertrend calculation on the chosen higher timeframe, incorporating the Average True Range (ATR) to determine volatility-adjusted bands. The unique addition is the "half trend" line, calculated by adding or subtracting half of the ATR-based trailing stop value from the Supertrend line. This mid-level acts as a crucial intermediary zone for evaluating the conviction of the current trend.
// Calculate the mid-level line
half_line = supertrend + (atr * half_factor)
Key Input Parameters:
ATR Length: Determines the period for calculating the Average True Range (default: 10).
Factor: The multiplier applied to the ATR to determine the Supertrend band width (default: 3). The mid-level dynamically adjusts based on half of this factor.
Timeframe: Allows you to select a higher timeframe for the Supertrend calculation, providing a broader trend context.
Up Color/Down Color: Customize the colors for uptrend and downtrend indications.
