MTF Break of Structure(BOS) & Market Structure Shift(MSS)Brief Introduction
Hello fellow traders and coders, let me introduce to you the ultimate multi time-frame market structure indicator to cater to all your market structure needs. The script is extremely customizable with a maximum of 3 time-frames since I love top down analysis as I’m sure you do to, so without wasting any more time here are the available features.
List of Features
A maximum of 3 time-frames that can all be customized independently.
The ability to change individual swing lengths that create the market structure plots, all time-frames will come set at 7, you can however set this to whatever you are comfortable with.
BOS (Break of Structure) and MSS (Market Structure Shift) functionality fo all the individual time-frames.
The option to show market structure in the form of HH (Higher highs), HL (Higher Lows), LL (Lower Lows) and LH(Lower Highs).
The ability to either use (highs and lows) or closes for breaks of structure and market structure shifts, meaning a break of structure will only be valid if either a high or close (depending on your chosen input) crosses above the previous high for a bullish structural break.
The ability to change lines types for BOS and MSS.
The ability to change text sizes for the all the plots.
The ability to change the colors for nearly anything on the chart independently of any other line or plot.
The ability to change any time-frame to the chart’s time-frame.
The ability to prevent lower time frame structure from showing on higher time frames which I don’t advice as it will provide you with an inaccurate perception of the lower time frame structure hence I’ve made the feature available but set it to false.
The script also has a section called general settings that will allow you to hide all the market structure plots as well as all the lines on the chart and on all time-frames using just one input.
General Settings Functionality.
Input 1 if true will hide all market structure if true
Input 2 if true will hide all structural breaks (BOS and MSS)
Input 3 if false will show lower time frame structure on a higher time frame. High advice using it while its true as I work on this feature as it provide an innacurate depiction of structure.
Candlestick analysis
Candles In Row (Expo)█ Overview
The Candles In Row (Expo) indicator is a powerful tool designed to track and visualize sequences of consecutive candlesticks in a price chart. Whether you're looking to gauge momentum or determine the prevailing trend, this indicator offers versatile functionality tailored to the needs of active traders. The Candles In Row indicator can be an integral part of a multi-timeframe trading strategy, allowing traders to understand market momentum, and set trading bias. By recognizing the patterns and likelihood of future price movements, traders can make more informed decisions and align their trades with the overall market direction.
█ How to use
The indicator enhances traders' understanding of the consecutive candle patterns, helping them to uncover trends and momentum. Consecutive candles in the same direction may indicate a strong trend. The Candles In Row indicator can be an essential tool for traders employing a multiple timeframes strategy.
Analyzing a Higher Timeframe:
Understanding Momentum: By analyzing consecutive green or red candles in a higher timeframe, traders can identify the prevailing momentum in the market. A series of green candles would suggest an upward trend, while a series of red candles would indicate a downward trend.
Predicting Next Candle: The indicator's predictive feature calculates the likelihood of the next candle being green or red based on historical patterns. This probability helps traders gauge the potential continuation of the trend.
Setting the Trading Bias: If the likelihood of the next candle being green is high, the trader may decide to focus on long (buy) opportunities. Conversely, if the likelihood of the next candle being red is high, the trader may look for short (sell) opportunities.
In this example, we are using the Heikin Ashi candles.
Moving to a Lower Timeframe:
Finding Entry Points: Once the trading bias is set based on the higher timeframe analysis, traders can switch to a lower timeframe to look for entry points in the direction of the bias. For example, if the higher timeframe suggests a high likelihood of a green candle, traders may look for buy opportunities in the lower timeframe.
Combining Timeframes for a Comprehensive Strategy:
Confirmation and Alignment: By analyzing the higher timeframe and confirming the direction in the lower timeframe, traders can ensure that they are trading in alignment with the broader trend.
Avoiding False Signals: By using a higher timeframe to set the trading bias and a lower timeframe to find entries, traders can avoid false signals and whipsaws that might be present in a single timeframe analysis.
█ Settings
Price Input Selection: Choose between regular open and close prices or Heikin Ashi candles as the basis for calculation.
Data Window Control: Decide between displaying the full data window or only the active data. You can also enable a counter that keeps track of the number of candles.
Alert Configuration: Set the desired number and color of consecutive candles that must occur in a row to trigger an alert.
Table Display Customization: Customize the location and size of the display table according to your preferences.

Boring Candles by BitcoinBailyBoring candlestick is a candlestick whose body is less than 50% of its total candlestick range, this candle is usually small in size.
This indicates that the price range between the open and close of this candle was relatively small, and that there was not a lot of volatility during that time period.
Heikin Ashi MTF Trend [Pt]█ Introduction
The Heikin Ashi MTF Trend indicator takes a simple approach to understand the trend by visualizing Heikin Ashi candle colors across multiple timeframes and representing it in a simple and visual manner. It utilizes the Heikin Ashi (HA) candles across four custom timeframes to detect trend shifts and strength. The indicator also offers alert conditions for potential bullish and bearish trend shifts.
█ Features
► Multiple Timeframes (MTF) Trend Detection: The script fetches HA data from four different timeframes. This multi-timeframe approach gives a holistic view of the market sentiment.
► Weighted Trend Score: The individual trend scores of the four timeframes are multiplied with their respective weights and summed up to provide a cumulative trend score that is used to determine bar colors and trend shifts.
► Visual Trend Depiction : It displays the trend using default green/red squares for each timeframe and a gradient-filled bar to represent the cumulative trend score.
► Trend Change Alerts: Users can set alerts for bullish and bearish trend shifts.
█ Alerts
◊ Bull Trend Signal Alert: Alert when there is a bullish trend shift.
◊ Bear Trend Signal Alert: Alert when there is a bearish trend shift.
█ Usage Tips
◊ The greater the discrepancy in the weights across the timeframes, the more emphasis is placed on the higher weighted timeframe.
◊ While the gradient bar provides a quick trend overview, it's essential to view the trend squares to understand the individual timeframe sentiments.
◊ Always consider using this tool in conjunction with other indicators or methods for confirmation and enhanced trading strategy.
Happy Trading~~
A.I Fibonacci [Paradox]Description:
The A.I fibonacci is a tool designed to assist traders in identifying potential price levels following a retracement. Unlike many other Fibonacci indicators available, this script is tailored to highlight the most crucial levels for entries, take profits, and stop losses.
Key Features:
Automatic Calculation: The script automatically calculates and plots Fibonacci extension levels based on the price movement and the highs and the lows on the chart.
Optimal Levels: It emphasizes the most relevant levels for making informed trading decisions, ensuring traders focus on what specific levels.
Versatility: Suitable for all markets, making it a versatile tool for traders across different asset classes.
User-Friendly: Designed with both novice and experienced traders in mind, the script is easy to use and interpret.
How It Stands Out:
While there are numerous Fibonacci tools available, the A.I Fibonacci is distinct in its approach. It not only calculates potential price reversal areas but also pinpoints possible price levels after a retracement is completed. This dual functionality ensures traders have a comprehensive view of the market.
How to Use:
Apply the script to your desired chart.
Observe the plotted Fibonacci levels.
Use these levels to determine potential entry, exit, and stop-loss points.
Green - Entry levels
Red - Stop Loss Levels
Yellow - Take Profit Levels
Applicability:
A.I Fibonacci is designed for all markets, making it a versatile tool for forex, stocks, commodities, and more.
Conditions for Use:
The script performs optimally under various market conditions. However, as with all technical tools, it's recommended to use it in conjunction with other indicators and analysis methods for best results.
Buy/Sell EMA CandleThis indicator is designed to display various technical indicators, candle patterns, and trend directions on a price chart. Let's break down the code and explain its different sections:
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA):
The code calculates and plots five EMAs of different lengths (13, 21, 55, 90, and 200) on the price chart. These EMAs are used to identify trends and potential crossovers.
Engulfing Candle Patterns:
The code identifies and highlights potential bullish and bearish engulfing candle patterns. It checks if the current candle's body size is larger than the combined body sizes of the previous and subsequent four candles. If this condition is met, it marks the pattern on the chart.
s3.tradingview.com
EMA Crossovers:
The code identifies and highlights points where the shorter EMA (ema1) crosses above or below the longer EMA (ema2). It plots circles to indicate these crossover points.
Candle Direction and RSI Trend:
The code determines the trend direction of the last candle based on whether it closed higher or lower than its open price. It also calculates the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and determines its trend direction (overbought, oversold, or neutral) based on predefined thresholds.
s3.tradingview.com
Table Display:
The code creates a table displaying trend directions for different timeframes (monthly, weekly, daily, 4-hour, and 1-hour) for candle direction and RSI trends. The trends are labeled with "L" for long, "S" for short, and "N/A" for not applicable.
High Volume Bars (HVB):
The code identifies and colors bars with above-average volume as either bullish or bearish based on whether the price closed higher or lower than it opened. The color and conditions for high volume bars can be customized.
s3.tradingview.com
Doji Candle Pattern:
The code identifies and marks doji candle patterns, where the open and close prices are very close to each other within a certain percentage of the candle's high-low range.
RSI-Based Candle Coloring:
The code adjusts the color of the candles based on the RSI value. If the RSI value is above the overbought threshold or below the oversold threshold, the candles are colored yellow.
Usage and Interpretation:
Traders can use this indicator to identify potential trend changes based on EMA crossovers and candle patterns like engulfing and doji.
The RSI trend direction can provide additional insight into potential overbought or oversold conditions.
High volume bars can indicate potential price reversals or continuation patterns.
The table provides an overview of trend directions on different timeframes for both candle direction and RSI trends.
Keep in mind that this is a complex indicator with multiple features. Users should carefully evaluate its performance and consider combining it with other indicators and analysis methods for more accurate trading decisions.
The table is designed to provide a consolidated view of trend directions and other indicators across multiple timeframes. It is displayed on the chart and organized into rows and columns. Each row corresponds to a specific aspect of analysis, and each column corresponds to a different timeframe.
Here's a breakdown of the components of the table:
Row 1: Separation.
Row 2 (Header Row): This row contains the headers for the columns. The headers represent the different timeframes being analyzed, such as Monthly (M), Weekly (W), Daily (D), 4-hour (4h), and 1-hour (1h).
Row 3 (Content Row): This row contains labels indicating the types of information being displayed in the columns. The labels include "T" for Trend, "C" for Current Candle, and "R" for RSI Trend.
Row 4 and Onwards: These rows display the actual data for each aspect of analysis across different timeframes.
For each aspect of analysis (Trend, Current Candle, RSI Trend), the corresponding rows display the following information:
Monthly (M): The trend direction for the given aspect on the monthly timeframe.
Weekly (W): The trend direction for the given aspect on the weekly timeframe.
Daily (D): The trend direction for the given aspect on the daily timeframe.
4-hour (4h): The trend direction for the given aspect on the 4-hour timeframe.
1-hour (1h): The trend direction for the given aspect on the 1-hour timeframe.
The trend directions are represented by labels such as "L" for Long, "S" for Short, or "N/A" for Not Applicable.
The table's purpose is to provide a quick overview of trend directions and related information across multiple timeframes, aiding traders in making informed decisions based on the analysis of trend changes and other indicators.
Market trend based on ema strengthThis script is a trading indicator written in Pine Script, a domain-specific language used for creating custom technical analysis indicators and strategies on the TradingView platform. Let's break down what this script is doing and its potential usage:
Title and Overlay:
The indicator is given a title: "Market trend based on ema strength."
The overlay=true parameter ensures that the indicator is plotted on the price chart itself, overlaying the price data.
EMA Calculations:
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are calculated for different time periods based on the closing prices.
Degree of Change Calculation:
The degree of change is calculated as the percentage difference between the closing price and each respective EMAs.
Trend Identification:
The script attempts to identify uptrends and downtrends based on the comparison of degree of change values across the different EMAs. For an uptrend, each subsequent EMA's degree of change should be greater than the previous one, and for a downtrend, it should be lower.
EMA and RSI Calculation:
Additional EMAs and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) are calculated.
Buy and Sell Signal Generation:
Buy signals are generated when certain conditions are met: an uptrend is detected, the previous close is below the additional EMAs, and the current close is above the additional EMAs.
Sell signals are generated in the opposite scenario: a downtrend is detected, the previous close is above the additional EMAs, and the current close is below the additional EMAs.
Visualization:
The script uses plotshape to visually indicate buy and sell signals on the chart as labels.
The background color of the chart is changed based on the detected trend
Usage:
This indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying potential buy and sell signals based on trends in EMAs, RSI, and price movement. It provides a visual representation of trend changes and generates signals when certain conditions align, helping traders make informed decisions about entering or exiting positions.
It's important to note that while this script provides an automated approach to identifying trends and generating signals, successful trading also requires a deep understanding of the market, risk management, and the application of multiple indicators and strategies. Traders should thoroughly backtest and validate any trading strategy before applying it in real trading scenarios.
Thange Threshold Candles# Thange Threshold Candles Indicator
Identify Strong Bullish and Bearish Candles
The `Thange Threshold Candles indicator` is a small tool designed to identify candles which are above or below the configured threshold size. By analyzing the size of candles in higher timeframes (say Weekly/Monthly) one can confirm whether there was a momentum or consolidation.
> Disclaimer: This indicator should be used as a tool for technical analysis and does not guarantee specific trading outcomes. Users should exercise their own discretion and risk management when making trading decisions based on this indicator.
I hope that the Thange Momentum Kicks indicator enhances your trading experience and helps you identify strong bullish and bearish candles with ease. Happy trading!
MTF FVGThis script finds Imbalance (Fair Value Gap (FVG)) on multi timeframes.
If needed all TF can be used at once: 1, 3, 5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 120, 180, 240, D, W.
It finds FVG on any desired TF that is greater or equal than TF on the chart.
FVG stands for fair value gap, which is a three-candle structure that indicates an imbalance or inefficiency in the market. An imbalance means that the buying and selling is not equal, and there is a gap between the fair value and the market value of an asset. A bullish FVG shows that the market value is lower than the fair value, and a bearish FVG shows the opposite.
FVG takes place in a series of 3 candles when the middle candle gaps up or down. This signals strong buying or selling pressure in the direction of the gap. When a gap occurs the wicks of the candles do not overlap each other.
Higher Time Frame {HTF} Candles [QuantVue]Introducing the Higher Time Frame {HTF} Candles from QuantVue!
This script was developed to help you visually emphasize higher time frame (HTF) candles.
Higher time frames reduce the 'noise' inherent in lower time frames, providing a clearer, more accurate picture of the market's movements.
By examining higher time frames, you can better identify trends, reversals, and key areas of support and resistance.
The Higher Time Frame Candles indicator overlays higher time frame data directly onto your current chart.
You can easily specify the higher time frame candles you'd like to view, and the indicator will overlay the higher time frame candles directly over the corresponding current time frame bars.
This indicator by default will display the most current higher time frame candle plus the previous 5 candles.
Give this indicator a BOOST and COMMENT your thoughts!
We hope you enjoy.
Cheers.

Auto Fibonacci TP Levels [WJ]This script automatically draws Fibonacci levels on a trading chart which are popular tools for traders seeking to identify potential areas of support and resistance.
Here are the features and benefits of this script:
1. Versatility in Sourcing Trade Entries:
Trade source can be customized to either longs (buying trades) or shorts (selling trades). The user has the flexibility to adjust their entry points based on their trading strategy.
Up to 2 sources can be used, expand if you wish.
As it is coded now, the source you have to pick from has to have a 'plot' that sends a (long) or (short) and is equal to 1 and 2 respectively.
Example: In the script you want to use for Long and Shorts, make a plot like this:
plot(LONG ? 1 : SHORT ? 2 : 0, title = "⭐ Outbound signal", display = display.none, editable = false)
The variable name of the LONG and SHORT needs to be the same as the one your code is using to indicate those trades.
2. Flexible Fibonacci Start Points:
The starting points for drawing Fibonacci levels can be customized for both longs and shorts.
3. Configurable Historical Data Length:
Users can adjust the number of historical bars to analyze for calculating higher highs (HH) and lower lows (LL).
4. Informative Labels and Lines:
The script can be configured to show the distance from the entry point to the 0.618 Fibonacci level (the so-called "golden ratio"). This helps traders to visualize the risk-reward ratio of their trades.
It indicates when a Fibonacci level was crossed which could signal a potential reversal.
It allows users to display the golden pocket levels only (0.618 and 0.65) or all the Fibonacci levels.
5. Customizable Fibonacci Levels and Colors:
Users can define their preferred Fibonacci levels and assign specific colors to each of these levels. This helps in identifying different levels quickly and intuitively.
The script also includes functionality for setting stop loss levels for short and long positions, which helps in risk management.
6. Clear Visualization of Crossing Levels:
If a trade crosses a specific Fibonacci level, the script draws lines indicating the crossing. This can help traders to identify potential breakout or reversal points.
7. Calculation of Fibonacci Boxes:
For each Fibonacci level, the script creates a box that indicates the level's range on the chart. This visual aid can help traders to better understand the price movement within these levels.
8. Customizable Labels:
The script provides percentage difference labels at each Fibonacci level, displaying the difference between the price at that level and the price at the 0 Fibonacci level. This can help users quickly understand the price change in terms of percentage at each level.
9. Performance Efficiency:
The script uses arrays to store and manage the Fibonacci levels and their associated colors. This approach enhances the performance of the script, especially when processing a large amount of data.
10. Adaptability:
This script automatically adapts to market movements. When the price crosses a level, it identifies and records this event, aiding the trader's decision-making process.
Overall, this script is highly customizable, adaptable and provides a clear visual representation of important trading data, making it an effective tool for traders using Fibonacci levels in their strategies.
NOTE: If you can't see the fib lines, it is because they have already been triggered/touched by a candle and they are set to not continue after they are touched.
Engulfing IndicatorThis is an "Engulfing" indicator. The "Engulfing" candle pattern is a reversal pattern that can appear at the end of an uptrend or downtrend.
The indicator includes the following inputs or settings:
1. `tolerance`: This defines the percentage difference in size that there must be between the body of the current candle and that of the previous candle to consider that one candle "engulfs" the other.
2. `tailSizePercentage`: This defines the maximum percentage size of the candle's tail in relation to the body of the candle for it to be considered valid.
3. `hideBuy` and `hideSell`: If set to true, they hide the buy and sell labels on the chart.
4. `checkTailSize` and `checkPrevTailSize`: If set to true, they check the size of the tail of the current and previous candle in relation to the body of the candle. If the tail is too large (as defined by `tailSizePercentage`), it is not considered valid.
The indicator works as follows:
First, it calculates the size of the body of the current and previous candle. Then, it checks if the current candle is green (close greater than open) or red (close less than open).
Next, it checks if the current candle "engulfs" the previous one. This means that, in the case of a green candle, the open must be less than or equal to the previous candle's close and the close must be greater than or equal to the previous candle's open. For a red candle, it's the other way around.
The indicator also checks if the size of the previous candle's body is at least a certain percentage (defined by `tolerance`) of the size of the current candle's body.
If `checkTailSize` or `checkPrevTailSize` is enabled, the indicator also checks the size of the tail of the current and/or previous candle. If the tail is too large in relation to the body of the candle (as defined by `tailSizePercentage`), the candle is not considered valid.
Finally, if all conditions are met, a buy or sell signal is generated and a label is drawn on the chart. An alert is also generated.

Japanese Candlestick Patterns💡 Japanese Candlesticks are a visual representation of price movements in financial markets. They were first developed by Japanese rice traders in the 18th century to analyze the price of rice contracts, and have since been adopted by traders across the world for a wide range of assets.
📌 A candlestick is composed of a rectangular body and two thin lines, known as wicks, that extend from the top and bottom of the body. The body represents the difference between the opening and closing prices of the asset during a specific time period, while the wicks indicate the high and low prices reached during that period.
📌 By using these and other candlestick patterns, traders can identify potential buying and selling opportunities and manage their risk accordingly. However, it's important to note that candlestick patterns should be used in conjunction with other technical and fundamental analysis tools to make well-informed trading decisions.
📌 Candlestick patterns are particularly useful because they are based on price action rather than external factors such as news or economic data. This makes them useful for traders who employ technical analysis, as they can use candlestick patterns to identify potential trading opportunities and manage their risk accordingly.
🚀 Candlesticks can be used to identify market trends, as well as potential buying and selling opportunities. By analyzing the patterns formed by multiple candlesticks, traders can gain insights into the behavior of the market and make informed trading decisions. Overall, Japanese Candlesticks are a powerful tool for technical analysis that can provide valuable insights into financial markets.

Ahsan Tufail Precise MA Crossover Filter for Reliable SignalsIntroduction:
In the ever-evolving world of Forex trading, strategies that provide a competitive edge are highly sought after. The Moving Average (MA) crossover technique is a popular long-term approach, but its vulnerability to false signals can lead to potential losses. To overcome this challenge, we introduce a game-changing MA crossover filter designed to weed out false signals and unlock the full potential of this strategy. In this article, we delve into the mechanics of this filter, providing a comprehensive analysis of its components and how it enhances the accuracy of buy and sell signals.
The Power of the MA Crossover Filter:
The essence of our MA crossover filter lies in the integration of a specialized indicator that operates on a scale of 0 to 100. This ingenious indicator dynamically measures the distance between the middle Bollinger band and either the upper or lower Bollinger band. By analyzing the values of the last 504 candlesticks, it maps the range from 50 to 100 for the largest and smallest distances between the middle and upper Bollinger bands. Similarly, for values ranging from 0 to 50, it measures the distance between the middle and lower Bollinger bands.
Unveiling the Signal Execution Process:
The brilliance of this filter is revealed in its meticulous execution of buy and sell signals, which significantly reduces false crossovers. Let's explore the process step-by-step:
Buy Signal Precision:
To initiate a buy signal, the price must be positioned above the 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA).
The filter validates the crossover by checking the indicator's value, ensuring it falls below the threshold of 25.
Sell Signal Accuracy:
For a sell signal, the price must be below the 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA).
The filter confirms the crossover by verifying the indicator's value, which should exceed the threshold of 75.
This selective approach ensures that only high-confidence crossovers are considered, maximizing the potential for profitable trades.
Fine-Tuning the Filter for Optimal Performance:
While the MA crossover filter exhibits its prowess in GBPUSD and EURUSD currency pairs, it may require adjustments for other pairs. Currency pairs possess unique characteristics, and adapting the filter to specific behavior is crucial for its success.
To fine-tune the filter for alternative currency pairs, traders should conduct rigorous backtesting and analyze historical price data. By experimenting with indicator threshold values, traders can calibrate the filter to accurately match the dynamics of the target currency pair. This iterative process allows for customization, ultimately resulting in a finely-tuned filter that aligns with the unique behavior of the selected market.
Conclusion:
The MA crossover filter represents a paradigm shift in long-term Forex trading strategies. By intelligently filtering false signals, this precision tool unleashes the true potential of the MA crossover technique, elevating its profitability and enhancing overall trading performance. While no strategy guarantees absolute success, incorporating this filter empowers traders with a heightened level of confidence in their buy and sell signals. Embracing the power of this innovative filter can be a transformative step towards mastering Forex profits and staying ahead in the dynamic world of currency trading.
Support and Resistance Backtester [SS]Hey everyone,
Excited to release this indicator I have been working on.
I conceptualized it as an idea a while ago and had to nail down the execution part of it. I think I got it to where I am happy with it, so let me tell you about it!
What it does?
This provides the user with the ability to quantify support and resistance levels. There are plenty of back-test strategies for RSI, stochastics, MFI, any type of technical based indicator. However, in terms of day traders and many swing traders, many of the day traders I know personally do not use or rely on things like RSI, stochastics or MFI. They actually just play the support and resistance levels without attention to anything else. However, there are no tools available to these people who want to, in a way, objectively test their identified support and resistance levels.
For me personally, I use support and resistance levels that are mathematically calculated and I am always curious to see which levels:
a) Have the most touches,
b) Have provided the most support,
c) Have provided the most resistance; and,
d) Are most effective as support/resistance.
And, well, this indicator answers all four of those questions for you! It also attempts to provide some way to support and resistance traders to quantify their levels and back-test the reliability and efficacy of those levels.
How to use:
So this indicator provides a lot of functionality and I think its important to break it down part by part. We can do this as we go over the explanation of how to use it. Here is the step by step guide of how to use it, which will also provide you an opportunity to see the options and functionality.
Step 1: Input your support and resistance levels:
When we open up the settings menu, we will see the section called "Support and Resistance Levels". Here, you have the ability to input up to 5 support and resistance levels. If you have less, no problem, simply leave the S/R level as 0 and the indicator will automatically omit this from the chart and data inclusion.
Step 2: Identify your threshold value:
The threshold parameter extends the range of your support and resistance level by a desired amount. The value you input here should be the value in which you would likely stop out of your position. So, if you are willing to let the stock travel $1 past your support and resistance level, input $1 into this variable. This will extend the range for the assessment and permit the stock to travel +/- your threshold amount before it counts it as a fail or pass.
Step 3: Select your source:
The source will tell the indicator what you want to assess. If you want to assess close, it will look at where the ticker closes in relation to your support and resistance levels. If you want to see how the highs and lows behave around the S/R levels, then change the source to High or Low.
It is recommended to leave at close for optimal results and reliability however.
Step 4: Determine your lookback length:
The lookback length will be the number of candles you want the indicator to lookback to assess the support and resistance level. This is key to get your backtest results.
The recommendation is on timeframes 1 hour or less, to look back 300 candles.
On the daily, 500 candles is recommended.
Step 5: Plot your levels
You will see you have various plot settings available to you. The default settings are to plot your support and resistance levels with labels. This will look as follows:
This will plot your basic support and resistance levels for you, so you do not have to manually plot them.
However, if you want to extend the plotted support and resistance level to visually match your threshold values, you can select the "Plot Threshold Limits" option. This will extend your support and resistance areas to match the designated threshold limits.
In this case on MSFT, I have the threshold limit set at $1. When I select "Plot Threshold Limits", this is the result:
Plotting Passes and Fails:
You will notice at the bottom of the settings menu is an option to plot passes and plot fails. This will identify, via a label overlaid on the chart, where the support and resistance failures and passes resulted. I recommend only selecting one at a time as the screen can get kind of crowded with both on. here is an example on the MSFT chart:
And on the larger timeframe:
The chart
The chart displays all of the results and counts of your support and resistance results. Some things to pay attention to use the chart are:
a) The general success rate as support vs resistance
Rationale: Support levels may act as resistance more often than they do support or vice versa. Let's take a look at MSFT as an example:
The chart above shows the 334.07 level has acted as very strong support. It has been successful as support almost 82% of the time. However, as resistance, it has only been successful 33% of the time. So we could say that 334 is a strong key support level and an area we would be comfortable longing at.
b) The number of touches:
Above you will see the number of touches pointed out by the blue arrow.
Rationale: The number of touches differs from support and resistance. It counts how many times and how frequently a ticker approaches your support and/or resistance area and the duration of time spent in that area. Whereas support and resistance is determined by a candle being either above or below a s/r area, then approaching that area and then either failing or bouncing up/down, the number of touches simply assesses the time spent (in candles) around a support or resistance level. This is key to help you identify if a level has frequent touches/consolidation vs other levels and can help you filter out s/r levels that may not have a lot of touches or are infrequently touched.
Closing comments:
So this is pretty much the indicator in a nutshell. Hopefully you find it helpful and useful and enjoy it.
As always let me know your questions/comments and suggestions below.
As always I appreciate all of you who check out, try out and read about my indicators and ideas. I wish you all the safest trades and good luck!
Engulfing Signals
Okay, so we've got an indicator here that prints buy sell signals based on engulfing candles and uses a 200 EMA and RSI to filter out some of the noise.
This indicator incorporates price action, in the form of engulfing candles, moving averages and a momentum oscillator. It also has the of plotting either a Simple Moving Average or an Exponential Moving Average over varying periods in order to determine if price is respecting a certain level or to develop more accurately-timed alert signals. Engulfing candles can be a good indication of a change in sentiment and momentum.
Engulfing candles can be a good indication of a change in market behaviour but they happen far too often to be of any practical use by themselves.
In order to filter out some of the weaker candles, I have incorporated RSI into this script. The indicator will provide a BUY signal only when an engulfing candle prints and there is a reading of above 50 on the RSI, which is considered to reflect overall bullish sentiment. The signal is printed directly on the chart as a small green triangle just under the engulfing candle.
In contrast, the indicator will provide a SELL signal only when an engulfing candle prints and there is a reading of below 50 on the RSI, which is considered to reflect overall bearish sentiment. The signal is printed directly on the chart as a small red triangle just above the engulfing candle.
In order to maintain a clean chart and maximise the opportunity to couple this indicator up with other indicators that may increase the accuracy of the signals even further, the RSI will not be shown on the chart. However, to verify the accuracy of the signals please feel free to load the RSI indicator onto your chart and you will see that the signals only print according to the conditions described above.
In order to further filter out weaker signals I have made a rule that a buy signal should only print if it is above the 200 EMA and a sell signal only if the engulfing candle is below the 200 EMA. I use the 200 EMA because it is a commonly accepted indication of the general trend and to make the signals as accurate as possible we want to be trading with the longer trend, not against it.
The indicator will not print signals for engulfing candles outside of these parameters.
I suggest combining this indicator with a shorter moving average such as a 9, 14 or 20 perhaps. There is no need to add an additional indicator. You can do this directly in the settings menu. This unique feature allows you to study possible levels that price may or may not be respecting.
Alternatively, you could use the MACD to filter out some of the weaker signals, though bear in mind that the RSI is already doing that to some degree before the signal even prints.
To my knowledge there is no other indicator out there that combines these three concepts but, as you will see, doing so provides some high quality signals.
The Strat with Continuity [starlord_xrp]This indicator shows entry and exit points for The Strat as well as potential setups. It also has full time frame continuity detection.
Lower timeframe chartHi all!
I've made this script to help with my laziness (and to help me (and now you) with efficiency). It's purpose is to, without having to change the chart timeframe, being able to view the lower timeframe bars (and trend) within the last chart bar. The defaults are just my settings (It's based on daily bars), so feel free to change them and maybe share yours! It's also based on stocks, which have limited trading hours, but if you want to view this for forex trading I suggest changing the 'lower time frame' to a higher value since it has more trading hours.
The script prints a label chart (ASCII) based on your chosen timeframe and the trend, based on @KivancOzbilgic script SuperTrend The printed ASCII chart has rows (slots) that are based on ATR (14 bars) and empty gaps are removed. The current trend is decided by a percentage of bars (user defined but defaults to 80%, which is really big but let's you be very conservative in defining a trend to be bullish. Set to 50% to have the trend being decided equally or lower to be more conservative in defining a trend to be bearish) that must have a bullish SuperTrend, it's considered to be bearish otherwise. Big price range (based on the ATR for 14 bars) and big volume (true if the volume is bigger than a user defined simple moving average (defaults to 20 bars)) can be disabled for faster execution.
The chart displayed will consist of bars and thicker bars that has a higher volume than the defined simple moving average. The bars that has a 'big range' (user defined value of ATR (14 days) factor that defaults to 0.5) will also have a wick. The characters used are the following:
Green bar = ┼
Green bar with large volume = ╪
Green bar wick = │
Red bar = ╋
Red bar with large volume = ╬
Red bar wick = ┃
Bar with no range = ─
Bar with no range and high volume = ═
Best of trading!
Bullish and Bearish Candlestick Patterns StrategyThe strategy is a combination of candlestick pattern analysis and Fibonacci retracement levels to identify potential buy and sell signals in the market. Here's how the strategy works and how you can trade accordingly:
Candlestick Pattern Analysis:
The strategy looks for specific bullish and bearish candlestick patterns to identify potential trend reversals or continuations. The bullish patterns include:
Bullish Engulfing: This pattern occurs when a bullish candle fully engulfs the previous bearish candle.
Hammer: It is a single candlestick pattern with a small body and a long lower wick, indicating a potential bullish reversal.
Morning Star: This pattern consists of three candles, with the middle one being a small-bodied candle that gaps down and the other two being bullish candles.
The bearish patterns include:
Bearish Engulfing: Similar to the bullish engulfing, but this time, a bearish candle fully engulfs the previous bullish candle.
Shooting Star: A single candlestick pattern with a small body and a long upper wick, suggesting a potential bearish reversal.
Evening Star: This pattern is the opposite of the morning star, with a small-bodied candle that gaps up between two bearish candles.
Fibonacci Retracement Levels:
The strategy uses Fibonacci retracement levels to determine potential support and resistance levels in the market. The main level considered in this strategy is the Fibonacci 0.5 level, which is the midpoint of the previous swing move.
Trading Accordingly:
To trade using this strategy, follow these steps:
a. Observe the Chart: Apply the indicator to your preferred chart, and observe the candlestick patterns and the plotted support, resistance, and Fibonacci 0.5 levels.
b. Buy Signal: A buy signal is generated when any of the bullish candlestick patterns (Bullish Engulfing, Hammer, Morning Star) occur, and the low price of the current candle is above or equal to the Fibonacci 0.5 level. This suggests a potential bullish reversal or continuation of an existing uptrend.
c. Sell Signal: A sell signal is generated when any of the bearish candlestick patterns (Bearish Engulfing, Shooting Star, Evening Star) occur, and the high price of the current candle is below or equal to the Fibonacci 0.5 level. This indicates a potential bearish reversal or continuation of an existing downtrend.
d. Risk Management: Place stop-loss orders to protect your position in case the market moves against your trade. Consider setting the stop-loss below the recent swing low for buy trades and above the recent swing high for sell trades.
e. Take Profit: Set a target for taking profits based on your risk-reward ratio. You can use the recent swing high for buy trades as a potential target and the recent swing low for sell trades.
f. Filter Signals: Keep in mind that not all signals will result in profitable trades. It's essential to filter signals with other technical analysis tools and consider the overall market context.
Remember that no trading strategy guarantees profits, and trading always carries inherent risks. It's crucial to practice proper risk management, use appropriate position sizing, and test the strategy thoroughly in a demo environment before applying it to live trading. Additionally, consider combining this strategy with other indicators or analysis methods to make more informed .
Fair Value Gap [MyTradingCoder]Introducing the "Fair Value Gap" indicator, a powerful tool designed to identify and visualize areas of potential market gaps where leftover orders may reside. This indicator utilizes price action analysis, specifically focusing on fair value gaps that occur between the current candle and the candle two bars prior.
The Fair Value Gap indicator draws customizable zones on the chart, representing bullish or bearish areas with distinct green or red colors. These zones highlight market gaps where price action has left a void, indicating the possibility of significant order activity in that region.
Key Features:
Liquidity Zone: Utilize the Fair Value Gap zones as areas of liquidity, offering potential entry points for trades.
Support/Resistance Indicator: Configure the indicator to extend beyond the initial breakout or gap fill, allowing it to act as a support/resistance zone indicator.
The Fair Value Gap indicator has several adjustable settings to customize its behavior according to your trading preferences. These settings include:
Invalidation Outcome: Choose how the fair value gap zone is treated when it becomes invalidated. Options include:
-Stop Updating: Maintain the gap zone in its current state without further updates.
-Delete: Completely remove the fair value gap from the screen.
Invalidation Method: Determine the logic that invalidates the fair value gap. Options include:
-Gap Fill: Visually shrink the zone as price action closes the gap until it is completely filled, at which point it gets deleted entirely.
-Number Of Breakouts: Invalidate the gap after a certain number of breaks or flips over the zone's border. Configure the allowed number of breakouts with the "Breakouts Until Invalidation" input.
-Age Of Gap: Invalidate the gap after a specified number of bars have passed since its creation. Set the threshold with the "Bars Until Invalidation" input.
Color Customization: Customize the appearance of the fair value gap zones with various color inputs, including bullish and bearish border colors, middle line color (shared for both bullish and bearish gaps), bullish and bearish background colors.
Line Width: Adjust the width of the border lines and the center line within the fair value gap zone for better visual clarity.
Please note that the Fair Value Gap indicator is a valuable tool but should be used alongside other technical analysis methods to make well-informed trading decisions. It does not guarantee profitable trades but aims to provide insights into potential areas of interest.
Discover opportunities within market gaps and leverage the power of leftover orders with the Fair Value Gap indicator—an indispensable asset in your trading toolkit.
