Flag Screener [QuantVue]Flag Screener is a screening tool that identify bull and bear flags in up to 40 different symbols.
The indicator takes a comma separated list of symbols and then scans the symbols in real time to detect bull or bear flags.
What are flags
Flags are continuation patterns that occur within the general trend of the security. A bull flag represents a temporary pause or consolidation before price resumes it's upward movement, while a bear flag occurs before price continues its downward movement.
Both flag patterns consist of two components:
The Pole
The Flag
The pole is the initial strong upward surge or decline that precedes the flag. The pole is usually a fast move accompanied by heavy volume signaling significant buying or selling pressure.
The flag is then formed as price consolidates after the initial surge or decline from the pole. For a bull flag price will drift slightly downward to sideways, a bear flag will drift upward to sideways. The best flags often see volume dry up during this phase of the pattern.
Indicator Settings
Both components are fully customizable in the indicator so the user can adjust for any time frame or volatility. Select the minimum and maximum accepted limits from the % gain loss required for the pole, the maximum acceptable flag depth or rally and the minimum and maximum number of bars for each component.
Bullish Flag
Flags With Measured Move [QuantVue]Flags with Measured Moves is a technical analysis tool that identifies bull flags and provides a measured move target.
A bull flag is a continuation pattern that occurs within the context of a general uptrend. It represents a pause or small consolidation before the price resumes its upward movement.
A bull flag consists of two sections: the flagpole and the flag.
The flagpole is the initial upward movement that occurs before the flag forms.
The flag forms as the price consolidates after the initial uptrend. During this phase, the price tends to drift downward or sideways, ideally with declining volume.
Once the flag has put in a low, the initial range of thrust is added to the flag low to form the measured move target.
Every element of the flag is customizable by the trader, including the size and length of the prior uptrend and the minimum and maximum flag depth and length.
The indicator also includes alerts for when new flags are formed, when a breakout from the flag occurs, and when the measured move target is reached.
By default, the indicator settings are set for use on a daily timeframe. If using the indicator on an intraday timeframe, you will need to adjust the settings.

Within this one indicator you will have access to Break Out Levels , Dynamic Support and resistance, Bull Flag, Bear Flag, Rising Wedge, Falling Wedge, Inverse Head & Shoulders, Head & Shoulders, Double Top, Double Bottom, Trend Lines, Ascending Triangle, Descending Triangle, Parallel Channel & Linear Regression Channels.
Below each indicator is explained along with its enhancements to help you understand it better.
This script comes with the 'TradingWolf Premium' to get access, read the Author’s Instructions below.
There are extensive explanations on how to use this indicator in our documentation on the website but we will give a simple overview here.
Break Out Levels
Break out levels are great for breakout traders, this indicator is scanning for strong points of support & resistance, it does this by finding pivot points where price has had a noticeable pull back. From there it will monitor that level and display a signal soon as price breaks it.
Another use case for this indicator is helping identify the market structure direction. If we are breaking up and getting Green triangles, this suggests we are in a bullish up-trending structure and vice versa for red bearish signals.
Support & Resistance
There are lots of ways of deciding how to mark up support and resistance, we like to use ATR values related to daily price action. Marking levels up on lower timeframes tend not to give such good levels to play whereas calculating values from the Higher time frames gives us levels we know are more like to be respected.
Although they are calculated from the daily timeframe you will notice these levels will adjust to the daily price action to make sure they are keeping up to date on levels you need to keep an eye on.
Flags
Flags show signs of continuation, they are confirmed when price breaks the upper resistance for bull flags and lower support for bear flags. They are commonly used in trading but with this indicator, it will help you spot ones you may normally miss. Everyone judges flags differently so we have given you the ability to decide how strict you would like the flags to be with the correlation setting, if you set it to 100% the top and bottom lines of the flag must be going at the exact same angle to count as a valid flag.
Wedges
A wedge pattern is typically a reversal pattern, you would normally use these in correlation with volume. For a confirmed wedge you want declining volume as the price reaches the wedge end. You can either try entering at the top/bottom of the wedge pattern or wait until price breaks into the opposite trending direction.
Head & Shoulders
These are reversal patterns, for a confirmed Head and shoulder pattern you want to pair it with declining volume or momentum
You will notice you have a HF option, when enabled this will scan multiple different lengths of pivots to try spot more patterns which the regular settings may miss. If you think you are getting enough you may want to disable this.
Triangles
Triangles help us identify areas where price starts consolidating in a narrow range, once we reach roughly ¾ of the way through the triangle, we will see a break out in either direction, normally confirmation just requires 1 close out of the triangle along with increased volume. If you miss the initial move you may be able to catch a retest if you are lucky!
Double Tops & Bottoms
These patterns are considered reversal patterns. They are confirmed on the break of the neck line with increased volume.
Trend Lines
These are as simple as the name suggests, the lines are calculated slightly differently to other support and resistance points but they will work the same spotting potential areas where price will bounce or reject.
Channels
Similar to Trend lines but these are looking for trend lines at the same angle forming channels where price tends to range between. You have several options to edit these in the settings including the correlation % of the channel lines, how many candles are allowed outside of the channel (fake outs), sensitivity/ frequency the channels appear and whether you use the Wicks or candle Closes to determine where to calculate the channels from.
Linear Regression Channels
Linear regression is the analysis of two separate variables to define a single relationship and is a useful measure from a technical and quantitative point of view.
As seen in the image above, these can be used to help determine key levels in the chart where price is likely to react. In the settings you will be able to adjust its sensitivity to the levels you like to trade.
