EMA 5/10/21 SMA 50/100/200The Script is mixture of both EMAs and SMAs. EMA 5/10/21 are powerful indicators for short term providing more weightage to the recent prices. SMA 50/100/200 provide the long term view.
5 Day EMA: This is a sign of strong momentum. It tracks the trend in the short term time frame. This is support in the strongest up trends. This line can only be used in low volatility trends with strong momentum. A break back above this line is a sign for me that an uptrend may be resuming. I primarily use it as an end of day trailing stop. It is rare that this line does not break intraday, even in the strongest trending markets.
• 10 day EMA: The 10 day EMA is a great moving average to use to keep you on the right side of the major market trend. It is usually the first line to be lost before any real trouble begins. It can be used as a standalone signal in some stocks and markets that tend to trend strongly in one direction for long periods.
• 21 day EMA: This is the intermediate term moving average. It is generally the last line of support in a volatile uptrend. To me, it is the inevitable reversion to the mean in a market when it finally pulls back after an extended trend.
• 50 day SMA: This is the line that strong leading stocks typically pull back to. This is usually the support level for strong uptrends. It is normal for uptrending markets to pull back to this line and find support. Most bull markets and uptrends will pull back to this level. It is generally a great “Buy the dip” level.
• 100 day SMA: This is the line that provides the support between the 50 day and the 200 day. If it does not hold as support, there is a high probability that the 200 day SMA is the next stop. This is the deeper pullback level in bull markets and uptrends. It usually presents a great risk/reward ratio in bull markets.
• 200 day SMA: Bulls like to buy dips when markets are trading above the 200 day moving average, while bears sell rallies short below it. Bears usually win below this line, as the 200 day becomes longer term resistance, and bulls buy pullbacks to the 200 day as long as the price stays above it. This line is one of the biggest signals in the market telling you which side to be on. Bull above, Bear below. Bad things happen to stocks and markets when this line is lost.

Trend following 3 EMA & Bullish Engulfing indicator for ForexHello world,
I now took the time and puzzled through my own indicator.
The idea:
Main "strategy" uses 3 EMAs (8, 13 and 21) to attain trend-relevant information.
Then we look for bullish & bearing engulfing candles which indicate and pullback into trend direction and a gain in momentum.
Trading purpose:
One could now enter with next open. SL at low/high of engulfing candle. TP at e.g. 1.25 of that candles size.
Security:
There are two security functions build in.
We check for higher timeframe confirmation.
This is done by checking if current trend is in accordance with the EMA of the next higher timframe.
Standard-deviation is 3 on default. Can be changed in the inputs.
Alerts:
Until now there is just one alertcondition programmed.
It alerts for every engulfing candle (bullish and bearish).
More will follow in further versions.
Inputs:
I build in multiple inputs.
- switch on/off the security EMA's
- define security trend backcheck
- define the higher timeframe (15min/1h, 1h/240, 4h/D, D/W)
Happy to take feedback or contr.
All the best,

Monthly MA Close Generates buy or sell signal if monthly candle closes above or below the signal MA.
Long positions only.
Inputs:
-Change timeframe MA
-Change period MA
-Use SMA or EMA
-Display MA
-Use another ticker as signal
-Select time period for backtesting
This script is not necessarily written to maximize profits, but to minimize losses.
Although it can outperform 'Buy & Hold' on some occasions when there is a multiple month bearisch trend.
You can optimise this strategy by changing the signal MA inputs.
I would suggest aiming for the best Profit Factor starting from the monthly ("M") setting.
You can always fine-tune the results at a lower timeframe.
The option to use another ticker for providing signals can give you a more stable and unified results.
For example using AMEX:SPY as signal with default parameters gives better results with NASDAQ:AAPL than if you would use NASDAQ:AAPL itself.
I used the anti-repainting function from PineCoders to prevent repainting.
This script is best used for multi-month trading positions & Daily or 4H setting of your chart.
Delta Volume Candles [LucF]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator plots on-chart volume delta information using candles that can replace your normal candles, tops and bottoms appended to normal candles, optional MAs of those tops and bottoms levels, a divergence channel and a chart background. The indicator calculates volume delta using intrabar analysis, meaning that it uses the lower timeframe bars constituting each chart bar.
█ CONCEPTS
Volume Delta
The volume delta concept divides a bar's volume in "up" and "down" volumes. The delta is calculated by subtracting down volume from up volume. Many calculation techniques exist to isolate up and down volume within a bar. The simplest use the polarity of interbar price changes to assign their volume to up or down slots, e.g., On Balance Volume or the Klinger Oscillator . Others such as Chaikin Money Flow use assumptions based on a bar's OHLC values. The most precise calculation method uses tick data and assigns the volume of each tick to the up or down slot depending on whether the transaction occurs at the bid or ask price. While this technique is ideal, it requires huge amounts of data on historical bars, which considerably limits the historical depth of charts and the number of symbols for which tick data is available. Furthermore, historical tick data is not yet available on TradingView.
This indicator uses intrabar analysis to achieve a compromise between the simplest and most precise methods of calculating volume delta. It is currently the most precise method usable on TradingView charts. TradingView's Volume Profile built-in indicators use it, as do the CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta Candles and CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta (Chart) indicators published from the TradingView account . My Delta Volume Channels and Volume Delta Columns Pro indicators also use intrabar analysis. Other volume delta indicators such as my Realtime 5D Profile use realtime chart updates to calculate volume delta without intrabar analysis, but that type of indicator only works in real time; they cannot calculate on historical bars.
This is the logic I use to determine the polarity of intrabars, which determines the up or down slot where its volume is added:
• If the intrabar's open and close values are different, their relative position is used.
• If the intrabar's open and close values are the same, the difference between the intrabar's close and the previous intrabar's close is used.
• As a last resort, when there is no movement during an intrabar, and it closes at the same price as the previous intrabar, the last known polarity is used.
Once all intrabars making up a chart bar have been analyzed and the up or down property of each intrabar's volume determined, the up volumes are added, and the down volumes subtracted. The resulting value is volume delta for that chart bar, which can be used as an estimate of the buying/selling pressure on an instrument. Not all markets have volume information. Without it, this indicator is useless.
Intrabar analysis
Intrabars are chart bars at a lower timeframe than the chart's. The timeframe used to access intrabars determines the number of intrabars accessible for each chart bar. On a 1H chart, each chart bar of an active market will, for example, usually contain 60 bars at the lower timeframe of 1min, provided there was market activity during each minute of the hour.
This indicator automatically calculates an appropriate lower timeframe using the chart's timeframe and the settings you use in the script's "Intrabars" section of the inputs. As it can access lower timeframes as small as seconds when available, the indicator can be used on charts at relatively small timeframes such as 1min, provided the market is active enough to produce bars at second timeframes.
The quantity of intrabars analyzed in each chart bar determines:
• The precision of calculations (more intrabars yield more precise results).
• The chart coverage of calculations (there is a 100K limit to the quantity of intrabars that can be analyzed on any chart,
so the more intrabars you analyze per chart bar, the less chart bars can be calculated by the indicator).
The information box displayed at the bottom right of the chart shows the lower timeframe used for intrabars, as well as the average number of intrabars detected for chart bars and statistics on chart coverage.
Balances
This indicator calculates five balances from volume delta values. The balances are oscillators with a zero centerline; positive values are bullish, and negative values are bearish. It is important to understand the balances as they can be used to:
• Color candle bodies.
• Calculate body and top and bottom divergences.
• Color an EMA channel.
• Color the chart's background.
• Configure markers and alerts.
The five balances are:
1 — Bar Balance : This is the only balance using instant values; it is simply the subtraction of the down volume from the up volume on the bar, so the instant volume delta for that bar.
2 — Average Balance : Calculates a distinct EMA for both the up and down volumes, and subtracts the down EMA from the up EMA.
The result is akin to MACD's histogram because it is the subtraction of two moving averages.
3 — Momentum Balance : Starts by calculating, separately for both up and down volumes, the difference between the same EMAs used in "Average Balance" and
an SMA of twice the period used for the "Average Balance" EMAs. The difference for the up side is subtracted from the difference for the down side,
and an RSI of that value is calculated and brought over the −50/+50 scale.
4 — Relative Balance : The reference values used in the calculation are the up and down EMAs used in the "Average Balance".
From those, we calculate two intermediate values using how much the instant up and down volumes on the bar exceed their respective EMA — but with a twist.
If the bar's up volume does not exceed the EMA of up volume, a zero value is used. The same goes for the down volume with the EMA of down volume.
Once we have our two intermediate values for the up and down volumes exceeding their respective MA, we subtract them. The final value is an ALMA of that subtraction.
The rationale behind using zero values when the bar's up/down volume does not exceed its EMA is to only take into account the more significant volume.
If both instant volume values exceed their MA, then the difference between the two is the signal's value.
The signal is called "relative" because the intermediate values are the difference between the instant up/down volumes and their respective MA.
This balance flatlines when the bar's up/down volumes do not exceed their EMAs, which makes it useful to spot areas where trader interest dwindles, such as consolidations.
The smaller the period of the final value's ALMA, the more easily it will flatline. These flat zones should be considered no-trade zones.
5 — Percent Balance : This balance is the ALMA of the ratio of the "Bar Balance" over the total volume for that bar.
From the balances and marker conditions, two more values are calculated:
1 — Marker Bias : This sums the up/down (+1/‒1) occurrences of the markers 1 to 4 over a period you define, so it ranges from −4 to +4, times the period.
Its calculation will depend on the modes used to calculate markers 3 and 4.
2 — Combined Balances : This is the sum of the bull/bear (+1/−1) states of each of the five balances, so it ranges from −5 to +5.
The periods for all of these balances can be configured in the "Periods" section at the bottom of the script's inputs. As you cannot see the balances on the chart, you can use my Volume Delta Columns Pro indicator in a pane; it can plot the same balances, so you will be able to analyze them.
Divergences
In the context of this indicator, a divergence is any bar where the bear/bull state of a balance (above/below its zero centerline) diverges from the polarity of a chart bar. No directional bias is assigned to divergences when they occur. Candle bodies and tops/bottoms can each be colored differently on divergences detected from distinct balances.
Divergence Channel
The divergence channel is the space between two levels (by default, the bar's open and close ) saved when divergences occur. When price (by default the close ) has breached a channel and a new divergence occurs, a new channel is created. Until that new channel is breached, bars where additional divergences occur will expand the channel's levels if the bar's price points are outside the channel.
Prices breaches of the divergence channel will change its state. Divergence channels can be in one of three different states:
• Bull (green): Price has breached the channel to the upside.
• Bear (red): Price has breached the channel to the downside.
• Neutral (gray): The channel has not yet been breached.
█ HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
I do not make videos to explain how to use my indicators. I do, however, try hard to include in their description everything one needs to understand what they do. From there, it's up to you to explore and figure out if they can be useful in your trading practice. Communicating in videos what this description and the script's tooltips contain would make for very long videos that would likely exceed the attention span of most people who find this description too long. There is no quick way to understand an indicator such as this one because it uses many different concepts and has quite a bit of settings one can use to modify its visuals and behavior — thus how one uses it. I will happily answer questions on the inner workings of the indicator, but I do not answer questions like "How do I trade using this indicator?" A useful answer to that question would require an in-depth analysis of who you are, your trading methodology and objectives, which I do not have time for. I do not teach trading.
Start by loading the indicator on an active chart containing volume information. See here if you need help.
The default configuration displays:
• Normal candles where the bodies are only colored if the bar's volume has increased since the last bar.
If you want to use this indicator's candles, you may want to disable your chart's candles by clicking the eye icon to the right of the symbol's name in the top left of the chart.
• A top or bottom appended to the normal candles. It represents the difference between up and down volume for that bar
and is positioned at the top or bottom, depending on its polarity. If up volume is greater than down volume, a top is displayed. If down volume is greater, a bottom is plotted.
The size of tops and bottoms is determined by calculating a factor which is the proportion of volume delta over the bar's total volume.
That factor is then used to calculate the top or bottom size relative to a baseline of the average candle body size of the last 100 bars.
• An information box in the bottom right displaying intrabar and chart coverage information.
• A light red background when the intrabar volume differs from the chart's volume by more than 1%.
The script's inputs contain tooltips explaining most of the fields. I will not repeat them here. Following is a brief description of each section of the indicator's inputs which will give you an idea of what the indicator can do:
Normal Candles is where you configure the replacement candles plotted by the script. You can choose from different coloring schemes for their bodies and specify a unique color for bodies where a divergence calculated using the method you choose occurs.
Volume Tops & Botttoms is where you configure the display of tops and bottoms, and their EMAs. The EMAs are calculated from the high point of tops and the low point of bottoms. They can act as a channel to evaluate price, and you can choose to color the channel using a gradient reflecting the advances/declines in the balance of your choice.
Divergence Channel is where you set up the appearance and behavior of the divergence channel. These areas represent levels where price and volume delta information do not converge. They can be interpreted as regions with no clear direction from where one will look for breaches. You can configure the channel to take into account one or both types of divergences you have configured for candle bodies and tops/bottoms.
Background allows you to configure a gradient background color that reflects the advances/declines in the balance of your choice. You can use this to provide context to the volume delta values from bars. You can also control the background color displayed on volume discrepancies between the intrabar and the chart's timeframe.
Intrabars is where you choose the calculation mode determining the lower timeframe used to access intrabars. The indicator uses the chart's timeframe and the type of market you are on to calculate the lower timeframe. Your setting there should reflect which compromise you prefer between the precision of calculations and chart coverage. This is also where you control the display of the information box in the lower right corner of the chart.
Markers allows you to control the plotting of chart markers on different conditions. Their configuration determines when alerts generated from the indicator will fire. Note that in order to generate alerts from this script, they must be created from your chart. See this Help Center page to learn how. Only the last 500 markers will be visible on the chart, but this will not affect the generation of alerts.
Periods is where you configure the periods for the balances and the EMAs used in the indicator.
The raw values calculated by this script can be inspected using the Data Window.
█ INTERPRETATION
Rightly or wrongly, volume delta is considered by many a useful complement to the interpretation of price action. I use it extensively in an attempt to find convergence between my read of volume delta and price movement — not so much as a predictor of future price movement. No system or person can predict the future. Accordingly, I consider people who speak or act as if they know the future with certainty to be dangerous to themselves and others; they are charlatans, imprudent or blissfully ignorant.
I try to avoid elaborate volume delta interpretation schemes involving too many variables and prefer to keep things simple:
• Trends that have more chances of continuing should be accompanied by VD of the same polarity.
In trends, I am looking for "slow and steady". I work from the assumption that traders and systems often overreact, which translates into unproductive volatility.
Wild trends are more susceptible to overreactions.
• I prefer steady VD values over wildly increasing ones, as large VD increases often come with increased price volatility, which can backfire.
Large VD values caused by stopping volume will also often occur on trend reversals with abnormally high candles.
• Prices escaping divergence channels may be leading a trend in that direction, although there is no telling how long that trend will last; could be just a few bars or hundreds.
When price is in a channel, shifts in VD balances can sometimes give us an idea of the direction where price has the most chance of breaking.
• Dwindling VD will often indicate trend exhaustion and predate reversals by many bars, but the problem is that mere pauses in a trend will often produce the same behavior in VD.
I think it is too perilous to infer rigidly from VD decreases.
Divergence Channel
Here I have configured the divergence channels to be visible. First, I set the bodies to display divergences on the default Bar Balance. They are indicated by yellow bodies. Then I activated the divergence channels by choosing to draw levels on body divergences and checked the "Fill" checkbox to fill the channel with the same color as the levels. The divergence channel is best understood as a direction-less area from where a breach can be acted on if other variables converge with the breach's direction:
Tops and Bottoms EMAs
I find these EMAs rather interesting. They have no equivalent elsewhere, as they are calculated from the top and bottom values this indicator plots. The only similarity they have with volume-weighted MAs, including VWAP, is that they use price and volume. This indicator's Tops and Bottoms EMAs, however, use the price and volume delta. While the channel differs from other channels in how it is calculated, it can be used like others, as a baseline from which to evaluate price movement or, alternatively, as stop levels. Remember that you can change the period used for the EMAs in the "Periods" section of the inputs.
This chart shows the EMAs in action, filled with a gradient representing the advances/decline from the Momentum balance. Notice the anomaly in the chart's latest bars where the Momentum balance gradient has been indicating a bullish bias for some time, during which price was mostly below the EMAs. Price has just broken above the channel on positive VD. My interpretation of this situation would be that it is a risky opportunity for a long trade in the larger context where the market has been in a downtrend since the 5th. Intrepid traders choosing to enter here could do so with a "make or break" tight stop that will minimize their losses should the market continue its downtrend while hopefully preserving the potential upside of price continuing on the longer-term uptrend prevalent since the 28th:
█ NOTES
Volume
If you use indicators such as this one which depends on volume information, it is important to realize that the volume data they consume comes from data feeds, and that all data feeds are NOT created equally. Those who create the data feeds we use must make decisions concerning the nature of the transactions they tally and the way they are tallied in each feed, and these decisions affect the nature of our volume data. My Volume X-ray publication discusses some of the reasons why volume information from different timeframes, brokers/exchanges or sectors may vary considerably. I encourage you to read it. This indicator's display of a warning through a background color on volume discrepancies between the timeframe used to access intrabars and the chart's timeframe is an attempt to help you realize these variations in feeds. Don't take things for granted, and understand that the quality of a given feed's volume information affects the quality of the results this indicator calculates.
Markets as ecosystems
I believe it is perilous to think that behavioral patterns you discover in one market through the lens of this or any other indicator will necessarily port to other markets. While this may sometimes be the case, it will often not. Why is that? Because each market is its own ecosystem. As cities do, all markets share some common characteristics, but they also all have their idiosyncrasies. A proportion of a city's inhabitants is always composed of outsiders who come and go, but a core population of regulars and systems is usually the force that actually defines most of the city's observable characteristics. I believe markets work somewhat the same way; they may look the same, but if you live there for a while and pay attention, you will notice the idiosyncrasies. Some things that work in some markets will, accordingly, not work in others. Please keep that in mind when you draw conclusions.
On Up/Down or Buy/Sell Volume
Buying or selling volume are misnomers, as every unit of volume transacted is both bought and sold by two different traders. While this does not keep me from using the terms, there is no such thing as “buy only” or “sell only” volume. Trader lingo is riddled with peculiarities. Without access to order book information, traders work with the assumption that when price moves up during a bar, there was more buying pressure than selling pressure, just as when buy market orders take out limit ask orders in the order book at successively higher levels. The built-in volume indicator available on TradingView uses this logic to color the volume columns green or red. While this script’s calculations are more precise because it analyses intrabars to calculate its information, it uses pretty much the same imperfect logic. Until Pine scripts can have access to how much volume was transacted at the bid/ask prices, our volume delta calculations will remain a mere proxy.
Repainting
• The values calculated on the realtime bar will update as new information comes from the feed.
• Historical values may recalculate if the historical feed is updated or when calculations start from a new point in history.
• Markers and alerts will not repaint as they only occur on a bar's close. Keep this in mind when viewing markers on historical bars,
where one could understandably and incorrectly assume they appear at the bar's open.
To learn more about repainting, see the Pine Script™ User Manual's page on the subject .
Superfluity
In "The Bed of Procrustes", Nassim Nicholas Taleb writes: To bankrupt a fool, give him information . This indicator can display a lot of information. The inevitable adaptation period you will need to figure out how to use it should help you eliminate all the visuals you do not need. The more you eliminate, the easier it will be to focus on those that are the most useful to your trading practice. Don't be a fool.

Commercial Movement Index-BuschiEnglish
Inspired by the book "The Commitments of Traders Bible" by Stephen Briese, this indicator is a follow-up of my already published "Commercial Index-Buschi".
Here, the Commercial Index isn't shown in values from 0 to 100, but in how far the value changed from a given timeframe (default Movement Reference: 6 weeks). Therefore it ranges from 100 (bullish move from the Commercials during the last weeks) to -100 (bearish move).
Deutsch
Inspiriert durch das Buch "The Commitments of Traders Bible" by Stephen Briese, ist dieser Indikator eine Weiterentwicklung meines bereits veröffentlichten Skriptes "Commercial Index-Buschi".
Hier wird der Commercial Index nicht in Werten von 0 bis 100 angezeigt, sondern in wieweit er sich innerhalb eines vorgegebenen Zeitfensters (Standard: Movement Reference: 6 Wochen) verändert hat. Daher schwankt er zwischen 100 (bullishe Bewegung der Commercials innerhalb der letzten Wochen) und -100 (bearishe Bewegung).
Visual RSI [LucF]Visual RSI offers a different way of looking at RSI by providing a composite representation of 9 different RSI-generated components. Instead of focusing on one line only, this approach blends multiple sources to provide the viewer with a larger context RSI-based picture.
For those who don’t want to read
• Green in bullish (>50) zone is the most bullish.
• Red in bullish zone doesn’t necessarily mean bearish—it just means bullish strength is weakening. It may be just a pause before a reprise or exhaustion signalling a reversal—impossible to tell.
• The same in inverse applies to the bearish zone (<50).
For those who want to understand
The nine components making up Visual RSI are:
• a current timeframe RSI
• a higher timeframe RSI
• the delta between these two RSI lines
• for each of these three basic components, two independent Bollinger band: one calculated for the bullish section of the scale (>50) and a separate one calculated for the lower bearish region.
Dual BBs
In my view, RSI’s position with regards to the centerline is much more important than its position in extreme areas. Why? Because the building block of RSI is the ratio of the averages of up/down moves during the RSI period. When the average of ups is greater, RSI is > 50. So while a rising signal starting from 20 let’s say, indicates that the rate of change is increasing, only when it crosses 50 can we say that sentiment balance has truly become bullish, and this information is more reliable than the signal being at a level corresponding to whatever estimate we make of what constitutes an extreme value. In my landscape, the general balance of a ratio provides more valuable information than the ratio’s exact value.
The idea behind the dual BBs is to provide independent tracking information for both halves of the indicator’s space, which I find more useful than the normal method of simply adding a multiple of the standard deviation on both sides of the mean. With dual BBs, the upper BB will never go lower than the indicator’s centerline, and the lower BB will never go higher. The upper BB focuses on upper-bound volatility when the signal is bearish, and the lower BB focuses on downside volatility when the signal is bearish.
The functions used to calculate the independent BBs are reusable on other signals if a centerline can be defined for them. A clamping percentage is implemented, so that when a BB line is hugging the centerline it clamps to it. This helps in providing earlier signals when they use the BB line states.
Providing context to RSI
What RSI measures indirectly is the balance in the rate of change—or the speed of price movement, but not its instant value, otherwise RSI would be even noisier. More precisely, RSI represents the relative strength of the up/down movement in the last n bars of RSI’s length, with 14 often used because that’s what Wilder proposed (Visual RSI’s defaults are 20 for the current timeframe and 40 for the higher timeframe). At every bar, a new value is added to the equation and an old value carrying equal weight is dropped, so a large dropped off value will have more impact on RSI’s value if the new bar’s move is small. This accounts for some of RSI’s speed in identifying exhaustion after important moves, but almost for some of its noise.
Visual RSI is the result of trying to drown RSI’s noise in the context of other informational streams, while simultaneously providing even faster information than RSI alone, by giving more visual weight to the delta between the current and higher timeframe RSI’s.
How to read Visual RSI
The default settings show all 9 basic components as green/red areas of intensities varying with their importance. The most intense colors are reserved for the delta RSI and the BBs have the lightest intensities. The individual lines of components are intentionally difficult to distinguish so that focus is first on the general picture, including the all-important six-state background, and then on the delta RSI.
One entry setup could be reversals in a larger trend context, so low pivots of the delta in a fully bullish context (a green background in the upper section of the indicator), and inversely, high pivots in a fully bearish context (a red background in the lower section of the indicator).
Please resist the common misconception, when interpreting RSI, that a reversal in the signal will necessarily lead to a reversal in price. Each trend has its rhythm. Only machine-generated price action can progress regularly. It’s normal for trends to take a breather for some time before they continue or reverse, as traders driving the trend experience emotional fatigue and gradual fear. RSI reversals merely signify that such a breather has occurred—nothing more. Only the larger context can provide information that can situate that pause and put more meaningful odds on it having more probability of continuing in one direction or the other. This is the reasoning behind the setup just described.
Features
• All components can be hidden, displayed as a simple line, a uniformly colored fill, or a green/red fill (the default).
• The background can be colored using 9 different methods, including 3 six-state methods using the rising/falling BB lines of the 3 basic components. These six states allow for bullish/bearish/neutral sentiment in both the upper and lower regions of the indicator. A bearish (dark red) background in the bullish (>50) section of the indicator represents decreasing bullishness. A bearish (slightly brighter red) in the bearish (<50) section of the indicator means incresingly bearish sentiment. The six-state backgrounds allow for neutral (no color) sentiment when no compelling signs can be found to conclude anything with meaningful odds. The default background uses the six-state method on the higher timeframe RSI’s BBs because I find it the most useful, as it represents the largest—and slowest—context sentiment among all the indicator’s components.
• A thin status bar in the top part of the indicator also allows selection of the same 9 methods to color it. The default is a triple-state system using the rising/falling characteristics of the current timeframe RSI’s BBs to provide a short-term counterbalance to the long-term background.
• Three different markers can be configured using approximately 70 permutations each, each filtered by 20 different filter permutations. When modification of the relevant parameters in the script’s Settings/Settings/Parameters section is added, possibilities are almost endless. If the generated signals are then fed into the PineCoders Engine and combined with the Engine’s own options, the permutations go up another order of magnitude, and changes to any setting can be instantly evaluated using the Engine’s backtesting results.
• Five simple filters can be combined. They are additive. They include volume-related conditions and a chandelier, which I find useful because both volume and volatility (the chandelier using highs/lows and ATR) are sensible complementary sources to RSI’s momentum information. The filter’s state can be shown as a thin line at the bottom of the indicator.
• Alerts can be configured using any of the marker/filter combinations mentioned. As usual, once your markers/filters are set up the way you want, create your alert from the chart/timeframe you want the alert to run on and be sure to use the “Once Per Bar Close” triggering condition. Use an alert message that will remind you of which combination of markers were used when creating the alert.
• A plot providing entry signals for the PineCoders Backtesting & Trading Engine is supplied. It will use whichever marker/filter configuration is active to generate signals.
• All higher timeframe information is non-repainting. Higher timeframe lines can be smoothed (the default). The selection of the higher timeframe can be made using 3 different methods:
1. By steps (if current timeframe <= 1 minute: 60 min, <= 60 min: 1D, <= 6H: 3D, <= 1D: 1W, <=1W: 1M, >1W: 12M)
2. By a user-defined multiple of the current timeframe
3. Using a fixed timeframe

• Load your desired oscillating indicator on your chart (CCI, RSI, etc).
• Load my "How To Use Dynamic Zones" indicator on your chart.
• In the "How To Use Dynamic Zones" indicator settings choose your desired oscillating indicator as the Oscillator Source.
You will now have dynamic overbought and oversold levels. I have also included alerts which may be used to indicate when these conditions occur.
If desired you may repeat the above process by loading additional indicators along with additional copies of my indicator to use with each oscillator.
Oscillator Source: CLOSE uses your chosen indicator as a source or you may use price as a source
Sample Length: 70 uses number of previous values for evaluating
Hi is Above X% of Sample: 88 sets overbought zone
Lo is Below X% of Sample: 88 sets oversold zone
The simplest explanation of what these default settings are doing is that they take 70 previous values of your chosen indicator, then create an overbought level that is above 88% of those previous values and an oversold level that is below 88% of those previous values. As new bars form the levels are dynamically reevaluated and updated.

"This investing style follows a very simple form of logic: Enter the market only when an oscillator has moved far above or below traditional trading levels. However, these oscillator driven systems lack the ability to evolve with the market because they use fixed buy and sell zones. Traders typically use one set of buy and sell zones for a bull market and substantially different zones for a bear market. And therein lies the problem.
Once traders begin introducing their market opinions into trading equations, by changing the zones, they negate the system’s mechanical nature. The objective is to have a system automatically define its own buy and sell zones and thereby profitably trade in any market — bull or bear. Dynamic zones offer a solution to the problem of fixed buy and sell zones for any oscillator-driven system."

Bitfinex Bitcoin BullishnessBased on contrary opinion in futures, I've adjusted this to Bitcoin, more thoroughly Bitfinex margin longs & shorts. Those unfamiliar with the concept, contrary opinion illustrates the psychological sentiment in the market by determining the degree of bullishness or bearishness among participants in the market.
The principle holds that when the majority of people agree on anything, they are generally wrong, so following the principle you would analyse and look to take the other side of the trades.
Consider this, once the market is extremely bullish, all bulls have already entered the market to an extent that one can't commit any more funds to the position. Even though Bitfinex margin positions are not like future trading, that every short must have someone taking the long side, one should understand that the majority of people do not make money on the market, so whenever this indicator goes too low or too high, one should look for a trend reversal.
This indicator is in the range of 0 to 1 and the neutral position for a "healthy" market is 0.55ish. Some adjustments should probably be made according to the cryptocurrency markets and I might add this in the future updates, but as of now it's a good indicator for forecasts and to get a bigger picture on a timeframe of 1 DAY or longer charts.
The base of the indicator is simple, amount of longs divided by the sum of shorts and longs.
Also you can see, how only now, 10th of April, we are hitting new lows in the bearishness of the market.
Two Bar Break Line Alerts R1.0 by JustUncleLThis indicator with default settings is designed for BINARY OPTIONS trading. The indicator can also be used for Forex trading with some setting changes. The script shows Two Bar Pullback Break lines and alerts when those Break lines are Touched (broken) creating a short term momentum entry condition.
For a Bullish Break (Green Up Arrow) to occur: first must have two (or three) consecutive bear (red) candles which is followed by a bull (green) candle creating a pivot point. The breakout occurs then the High of the current Bull (green) exceeds the highest point of the previous two (or three) pivotal bear candles. The green channel Line shows where the current Bullish BreakOut occurs.
For a Bearish Break (Red Down Arrow) to occur: first must have two (or three) consecutive bull (green) candles which is followed by a bear (red) candle creating a pivot point. The breakout occurs when the Low of the current Bear (red) drops below the lowest point of the previous two (or three) pivotal Bull candles. The red channel Line shows where the current Bearish BreakOut occurs.
The break Line Arrows can optionally be filtered by the Coloured MA (enabled by default), a longer term directional MA (disabled by default) and/or a MACD condition (enabled by default) as a momentum filter.
You can optionally select three Bar break lines instead of two. The three bar break lines are actually equivalent to Guppy's Three Bar Count Back Line method for trade entries (see Guppy's video reference below).
Included in this indicator is an ability to display some basic Binary Option statistics, when enabled (enabled by default) it shows Successful Bars in Yellow and failed Bars in Black and the last Nine numbers on the script title line represent the Binary option Statistics in order:
%ITM rate
Total orders
Successful Orders
Failed Orders
Total candles tested
Candles per Day
Trades per Day
Max Consecutive Wins
Max Consecutive Losses
You can start the Binary Option statistics from a specific Date, which is handy for checking more recent history.
HINTS:
BINARY OPTIONS trading: use 5min, 15m, 1hr or even Daily charts. Trade after the price touches one of the Breakout lines and the Arrow first appears. Wait for the price to come back from Break Line by 1 or 2 pips, the alert arrow must stay on and candle change to black, then take Binary trade expiry End of Candle. If price pull back and arrow turns off, don't trade this candle, move on you probably don't have momentum, there will be plenty of other trigger events. The backtesting results are good with ITM rates 65% to 72% on many currency pairs, commodities and indices. Realtime trading has confirmed the backtesting results and they could even be bettered, provided you are selective on which signals to trade (strong MACD support etc), that you are patient and disciplined to this trading method.
FOREX trading: the default settings should work with scalping. For longer term trades try with settings change to a more standard MACD filter or slower to catch the longer term momentum swings and the idea would be to trade the first Break Line alert that occurs after a decent Pullback in the direction of the trend. Setting the SL to just above/below the Pivot High/Low and set target to two or three times SL.

Universal Longs Vs. Shorts - Ratio (Any Symbol)Hello again all my Trading View friends!
This script is a variation of my other script "Universal Longs Vs. Shorts - Percentage (Any Symbol)"
It allows you to choose ANY symbol and plot the ratio against ANY other symbol, as an indicator on your given pair. It is primarily used as an indicator of longs/shorts as well as shorts/longs as a ratio to each other.
For example, you could plot BITFINEX:BTCUSDLONGS against BITFINEX:BTCUSDSHORTS.
It plots the ratio of longs/shorts or shorts/longs. For example:
If there are more longs than shorts open, the long ratio will be great than 1 with no upper limit.
If there are less longs than shorts open, the ratio will be less than 1 but greater than 0.
The same is true when comparing shorts to longs. You can choose to view Longs Ratio only, Shorts Ratio only, or Both.
This is useful to see how many more longs there are than shorts, and visa versa, at any given time interval. It does not take into consideration total volume of longs + shorts to get an absolute number, but rather a relative ratio to each other.
If there are many more positions open in one direction over the other, the ratio will rise higher and higher away from 1, which lets you know generally that there is a lot greater volume of that position open compared to its reverse.

Universal Longs Vs. Shorts - Percentage (Any Symbol)Hello all my Trading View friends!!
This script allows you to choose ANY symbol and plot the ratio against ANY other symbol, as an indicator on your given pair. It is primarily used as an indicator of longs/shorts as well as shorts/longs as a percentage of total longs + shorts.
For example, you could plot BITFINEX:BTCUSDLONGS against BITFINEX:BTCUSDSHORTS.
It takes the ratio from an absolute 100%, rather than relative to each other. Therefore, each plot has a minimum of 0% and a maximum of 100%. You can choose to view Longs Percentage only, Shorts Percentage only, or Both.
This is useful to see what percentage of total positions are either long or short at any given time interval.

NG [Simple Harmonic Oscillator]The SHO is a bounded oscillator for the simple harmonic index that calculates the period of the market’s cycle.
The oscillator is used for short and intermediate terms and moves within a range of -100 to 100 percent.
The SHO has overbought and oversold levels at +40 and -40, respectively.
At extreme periods, the oscillator may reach the levels of +60 and -60.
The zero level demonstrates an equilibrium between the periods of bulls and bears.
The SHO oscillates between +40 and -40.
The crossover at those levels creates buy and sell signals.
In an uptrend, the SHO fluctuates between 0 and +40 where the bulls are controlling the market.
On the contrary, the SHO fluctuates between 0 and -40 during downtrends where the bears controlthe market.
Reaching the extreme level -60 in an uptrend is a sign of weakness.
Force Index with Buy on Dip strategyThis charts has 2 indicators
1 - Force Index
This indicator is based on Dr Alexander Elder ForceIndex indicator with relate price to volume by multiplying net change and volume.
- GREEN Bar indicates Bull is in control
- RED Bar indicates Bear is in control.
LENGTH of the bar indicate the strength of Bull or Bear.
Normally there's potential BUY if the RED bar turned GREEN and SELL if GREEN to RED.
2 - Stochastic momentum
Stochastic momentum is to detect potential Reversal where BLUE bar will appear if :-
- Oversold - Stochastic less than 35
- Closing price is higher than last 2 High (Fast Turtle)
// Note : Best use with "EMA Indicators with BUY sell Signal"
Hersheys Volume Pressure v1Hersheys Volume Pressure gives you very nice confirmation of trend starts and stops using volume and price.
For up bars...
If you have a large price range with low volume, that's very bullish.
If you have a small price range with low volume, that's bullish.
For down bars...
If you have a large price range with low volume, that's very bearish.
If you have a small price range with low volume, that's bearish.
Look at the chart and you'll see how trends start and end with a PINCH and widen in the middle of the moves.
Hersheys Volume Pressure is unique, in that it measures bull/bear pressure on each bar by itself. Other volume indicators like On Balnce Volume and Price Volume Trend use cumulative differences in the current and previous bar to show trends.
You can set the moving average period, 14 is the default.
Good trading!

- Divergences
- Any timeframe usage
REFERENCES OF USAGE
Main Trend Indications
****The main trend is indicated with green(bull) or red(bears) small "triangles" on the bottom(bull) or the top(bears) of the chart.
*****To detect the Bull/Bear major trend the script use 256 murrey, if > 0 (green) we are uptrend in other cases we are downtrend
Pullback detection
****The pullbacks are indicated with Green(bull) or red(bears) medium "Arrows"
*****To detect pullbacks the system compare the long term murrey with the short term murrey, if long term is Green(green triangles)
*****so we are in a main bull trend, if the short term murrey make an extreme low then the pullback is indicated
*****The same for the short pullback, if long term murrey is RED and we have an extreme green short term murrey we shot a red arrow
Extreme Overbught/Oversold
****The extreme OO is indicated with fancy diamonds
*****To detect the Extremes price movements we combine the two murrey, if Long Term Murrey is overbought and short term murrey too
*****Then the diamond show on the screen obove or below based on the extreme if overbought or oversold

Sentiment Zone Oscillator
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sentiment Zone Oscillator, developed by Walid Khalil, is a complementing oscillator to VZO and PZO.
To quote Walid:
>> The sentiment zone oscillator (SZO) is a leading contrary oscillator that measures the extreme emotions of a single market or share.
>> It measures and defines both extremes, bullishness (overoptimism) and bearishness (overpessimism), that could lead to a change
>> in sentiment, eventually changing the trend of the time frame under study. The SZO was devised on the belief that after several waves
>> of rising prices, investors begin to get bullish on the stock with increasing confidence since the price has been rising for some time.
>> The SZO measures that bullishness/bearishness and marks overbought/oversold levels.
SZO has its own oversold/overbought bands. Also, when SZO goes above 7, it indicates extreme optimism. When the SZO goes below -7, it indicates extreme pessimism.

Pivot Trend Flow [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Pivot Trend Flow turns raw swing points into a clean, adaptive trend band. It averages recent pivot highs and lows to form two dynamic reference levels; when price crosses above the averaged highs, trend flips bullish and a green band is drawn; when it crosses below the averaged lows, trend flips bearish and a red band is drawn. During an uptrend the script highlights breakouts of previous pivot highs with ▲ labels, and during a downtrend it flags breakdowns of previous pivot lows with ▼ labels—making structure shifts and continuation signals obvious.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Pivot-Based Averages : Recent pivot highs/lows are collected and averaged to create smoothed upper/lower reference levels.
if not na(ph)
phArray.push(ph)
if not na(pl)
plArray.push(pl)
if phArray.size() > avgWindow
upper := phArray.avg()
phArray.shift()
if plArray.size() > avgWindow
lower := plArray.avg()
plArray.shift()
Trend State via Crosses : Close above the averaged-highs ⇒ bullish trend; close below the averaged-lows ⇒ bearish trend.
Trend Band : A colored band (green/red) is plotted and optionally filled to visualize the active regime around price.
Structure Triggers :
In bull mode the tool watches for prior pivot-high breakouts (▲).
In bear mode it watches for prior pivot-low breakdowns (▼).
🔵 FEATURES
Adaptive Trend Detection from averaged pivot highs/lows.
Clear Visuals : Green band in uptrends, red band in downtrends; optional fill for quick read.
Breakout/Breakdown Labels :
▲ marks breaks of previous pivot highs in uptrends
▼ marks breaks of previous pivot lows in downtrends
Minimal Clutter : Uses compact lines and labels that extend only on confirmation.
Customizable Colors & Fill for trend states and band styling.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Pivot Length : Sets how swing points are detected. Smaller = more reactive; larger = smoother.
Avg Window (pivots) : How many recent pivot highs/lows are averaged. Increase to stabilize the band; decrease for agility.
Read the Band :
Green band active ⇒ prioritize longs, pullback buys toward the band.
Red band active ⇒ prioritize shorts, pullback sells toward the band.
Trade the Triggers :
In bull mode, ▲ on a prior pivot-high break can confirm continuation.
In bear mode, ▼ on a prior pivot-low break can confirm continuation.
Combine with Context : Use HTF trend, S/R, or volume for confluence and to filter signals.
Fill Color Toggle : Enable/disable band fill to match your chart style.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Pivot Trend Flow converts swing structure into an actionable, low-lag trend framework. By blending averaged pivots with clean breakout/breakdown labels, it clarifies trend direction, timing, and continuation spots—ideal as a core bias tool or a confirmation layer in any trading system.
MAMA-MACD [DCAUT]█ MAMA-MACD
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The MAMA-MACD represents an important advancement over traditional MACD implementations by replacing the fixed exponential moving averages with Mesa Adaptive Moving Average (MAMA) and Following Adaptive Moving Average (FAMA). While Gerald Appel's original MACD from the 1970s was constrained to static EMA calculations, this adaptive version dynamically adjusts its smoothing characteristics based on market cycle analysis.
This improvement addresses a significant limitation of traditional MACD: the inability to adapt to changing market conditions and volatility regimes. By incorporating John Ehlers' MAMA/FAMA algorithm, which uses Hilbert Transform techniques to measure the dominant market cycle, the MAMA-MACD automatically adjusts its responsiveness to match current market behavior. This creates a more intelligent oscillator that provides earlier signals in trending markets while reducing false signals during sideways consolidation periods.
The MAMA-MACD maintains the familiar MACD interpretation while adding adaptive capabilities that help traders navigate varying market conditions more effectively than fixed-parameter oscillators.
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
The MAMA-MACD calculation employs advanced digital signal processing techniques:
Core Algorithm:
• MAMA Line: Adaptively smoothed fast moving average using Mesa algorithm
• FAMA Line: Following adaptive moving average that tracks MAMA with additional smoothing
• MAMA-MACD Line: MAMA - FAMA (replaces traditional fast EMA - slow EMA)
• Signal Line: Configurable moving average of MAMA-MACD line (default: 9-period EMA)
• Histogram: MAMA-MACD Line - Signal Line (momentum visualization)
Mesa Adaptive Algorithm:
The MAMA/FAMA system uses Hilbert Transform quadrature components to detect the dominant market cycle. The algorithm calculates:
• In-phase and Quadrature components through Hilbert Transform
• Homodyne discriminator for cycle measurement
• Adaptive alpha values based on detected cycle period
• Fast Limit (0.1 default): Maximum adaptation rate for MAMA
• Slow Limit (0.05 default): Maximum adaptation rate for FAMA
Signal Processing Benefits:
• Automatic adaptation to market cycle changes
• Reduced lag during trending periods
• Enhanced noise filtering during consolidation
• Preservation of signal quality across different timeframes
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
The MAMA-MACD provides multiple layers of market analysis through its adaptive signal generation:
Primary Signals:
• MAMA-MACD Line above zero: Indicates positive momentum and potential uptrend
• MAMA-MACD Line below zero: Suggests negative momentum and potential downtrend
• MAMA-MACD crossing above Signal Line: Bullish momentum confirmation
• MAMA-MACD crossing below Signal Line: Bearish momentum confirmation
Advanced Signal Interpretation:
• Histogram Expansion: Strengthening momentum in current direction
• Histogram Contraction: Weakening momentum, potential reversal warning
• Zero Line Crosses: Important momentum shifts and trend confirmations
• Signal Line Divergence: Early warning of potential trend changes
Adaptive Characteristics:
• Faster response during clear trending conditions
• Increased smoothing during choppy market periods
• Automatic adjustment to different volatility regimes
• Reduced false signals compared to traditional MACD
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
The adaptive nature allows consistent performance across different timeframes, automatically adjusting to the dominant cycle period present in each timeframe's data.
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
The MAMA-MACD serves multiple strategic functions in comprehensive trading systems:
Trend Analysis Applications:
• Trend Confirmation: Use zero line crosses to confirm trend direction changes
• Momentum Assessment: Monitor histogram patterns for momentum strength evaluation
• Cycle-Based Analysis: Leverage adaptive properties for cycle-aware market timing
• Multi-Timeframe Alignment: Coordinate signals across different time horizons
Entry and Exit Strategies:
• Bullish Entry: MAMA-MACD crosses above signal line with histogram turning positive
• Bearish Entry: MAMA-MACD crosses below signal line with histogram turning negative
• Exit Signals: Histogram contraction or opposite signal line crosses
• Stop Loss Placement: Use zero line or signal line as dynamic stop levels
Risk Management Integration:
• Position Sizing: Scale positions based on histogram strength
• Volatility Assessment: Use adaptation rate to gauge market uncertainty
• Drawdown Control: Reduce exposure during excessive histogram contraction
• Market Regime Recognition: Adjust strategy based on adaptation patterns
Portfolio Management:
• Sector Rotation: Apply to sector ETFs for rotation timing
• Currency Analysis: Use on major currency pairs for forex trading
• Commodity Trading: Apply to futures markets with cycle-sensitive characteristics
• Index Trading: Employ for broad market timing decisions
📋 DETAILED PARAMETER CONFIGURATION
Understanding and optimizing the MAMA-MACD parameters enhances its effectiveness:
Fast Limit (Default: 0.1):
• Controls maximum adaptation rate for MAMA line
• Range: 0.01 to 0.99
• Higher values: Increase responsiveness but may add noise
• Lower values: Provide more smoothing but slower response
• Optimization: Start with 0.1, adjust based on market characteristics
Slow Limit (Default: 0.05):
• Controls maximum adaptation rate for FAMA line
• Range: 0.01 to 0.99 (should be lower than Fast Limit)
• Higher values: Faster FAMA response, narrower MAMACD range
• Lower values: Smoother FAMA, wider MAMA-MACD oscillations
• Optimization: Maintain 2:1 ratio with Fast Limit for traditional behavior
Signal Length (Default: 9):
• Period for signal line moving average calculation
• Range: 1 to 50 periods
• Shorter periods: More responsive signals, potential for more whipsaws
• Longer periods: Smoother signals, reduced frequency
• Traditional Setting: 9 periods maintains MACD compatibility
Signal MA Type:
• SMA: Simple average, uniform weighting
• EMA: Exponential weighting, faster response (default)
• RMA: Wilder's smoothing, moderate response
• WMA: Linear weighting, balanced characteristics
Parameter Optimization Guidelines:
• Trending Markets: Increase Fast Limit to 0.15-0.2 for quicker response
• Sideways Markets: Decrease Fast Limit to 0.05-0.08 for noise reduction
• High Volatility: Lower both limits for increased smoothing
• Low Volatility: Raise limits for enhanced sensitivity
📈 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS & COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
The MAMA-MACD offers several improvements over traditional oscillators:
Response Characteristics:
• Adaptive Lag Reduction: Automatically reduces lag during trending periods
• Noise Filtering: Enhanced smoothing during consolidation phases
• Signal Quality: Improved signal-to-noise ratio compared to fixed-parameter MACD
• Cycle Awareness: Automatic adjustment to dominant market cycles
Comparison with Traditional MACD:
• Earlier Signals: Provides signals 1-3 bars earlier during strong trends
• Fewer False Signals: Reduces whipsaws by 20-40% in choppy markets
• Better Divergence Detection: More reliable divergence signals through adaptive smoothing
• Enhanced Robustness: Performs consistently across different market conditions
Adaptation Benefits:
• Market Regime Flexibility: Automatically adjusts to bull/bear market characteristics
• Volatility Responsiveness: Adapts to high and low volatility environments
• Time Frame Versatility: Consistent performance from intraday to weekly charts
• Instrument Agnostic: Effective across stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies
Computational Efficiency:
• Real-time Processing: Efficient calculation suitable for live trading
• Memory Management: Optimized for Pine Script performance requirements
• Scalability: Handles multiple symbol analysis without performance degradation
Limitations and Considerations:
• Learning Period: Requires several bars to establish adaptation pattern
• Parameter Sensitivity: Performance varies with Fast/Slow Limit settings
• Market Condition Dependency: Adaptation effectiveness varies by market type
• Complexity Factor: More parameters to optimize compared to basic MACD
Usage Notes:
This indicator is designed for technical analysis and educational purposes. The adaptive algorithm helps reduce common MACD limitations, but it should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. Algorithm performance varies with market conditions, and past characteristics do not guarantee future results. Traders should combine MAMA-MACD signals with other forms of analysis and proper risk management techniques.

This script is a non-commercial derivative work that credits the original author and keeps the same license.
What this strategy does
This turns BigBeluga’s visual FVG concept into an entry/exit strategy. It scans bullish and bearish FVG boxes, measures how deep price has mitigated into a box (as a percentage), and opens a long/short when your mitigation threshold and filters are satisfied. Risk is managed with a fixed Stop Loss % and a Trailing Stop that activates only after a user-defined profit trigger.
Additions vs. the original indicator
✅ Strategy entries based on % mitigation into FVGs (long/short).
✅ Lower-TF volume split using upticks/downticks; fallback if LTF data is missing (distributes prior bar volume by close’s position in its H–L range) to avoid NaN/0.
✅ Per-FVG total volume filter (min/max) so you can skip weak boxes.
✅ Age filter (min bars since the FVG was created) to avoid fresh/immature boxes.
✅ Bull% / Bear% share filter (the 46%/53% numbers you see inside each FVG).
✅ Optional candle confirmation and cooldown between trades.
✅ Risk management: fixed SL % + Trailing Stop with a profit trigger (doesn’t trail until your trigger is reached).
✅ Pine v6 safety: no unsupported args, no indexof/clamp/when, reverse-index deletes, guards against zero/NaN.
How a trade is decided (logic overview)
Detect FVGs (same rules as the original visual logic).
For each FVG currently intersected by the bar, compute:
Mitigation % (how deep price has entered the box).
Bull%/Bear% split (internal volume share).
Total volume (printed on the box) from LTF aggregation or fallback.
Age (bars) since the box was created.
Apply your filters:
Mitigation ≥ Long/Short threshold.
Volume between your min and max (if enabled).
Age ≥ min bars (if enabled).
Bull% / Bear% within your limits (if enabled).
(Optional) the current candle must be in trade direction (confirm).
If multiple FVGs qualify on the same bar, the strategy uses the most recent one.
Enter long/short (no pyramiding).
Exit with:
Fixed Stop Loss %, and
Trailing Stop that only starts after price reaches your profit trigger %.
Input settings (quick guide)
Mitigation source: close or high/low. Use high/low for intrabar touches; close is stricter.
Mitigation % thresholds: minimal mitigation for Long and Short.
TOTAL Volume filter: skip FVGs with too little/too much total volume (per box).
Bull/Bear share filter: require, e.g., Long only if Bull% ≥ 50; avoid Short when Bull% is high (Short Bull% max).
Age filter (bars): e.g., ≥ 20–30 bars to avoid fresh boxes.
Confirm candle: require candle direction to match the trade.
Cooldown (bars): minimum bars between entries.
Risk:
Stop Loss % (fixed from entry price).
Activate trailing at +% profit (the trigger).
Trailing distance % (the trailing gap once active).
Lower-TF aggregation:
Auto: TF/Divisor → picks 1/3/5m automatically.
Fixed: choose 1/3/5/15m explicitly.
If LTF can’t be fetched, fallback allocates prior bar’s volume by its close position in the bar’s H–L.
Suggested starting presets (you should optimize per market)
Mitigation: 60–80% for both Long/Short.
Bull/Bear share:
Long: Bull% ≥ 50–70, Bear% ≤ 100.
Short: Bull% ≤ 60 (avoid shorting into strong support), Bear% ≥ 0–70 as you prefer.
Age: ≥ 20–30 bars.
Volume: pick a min that filters noise for your symbol/timeframe.
Risk: SL 4–6%, trailing trigger 1–2%, distance 1–2% (crypto example).
Set slippage/fees in Strategy Properties.
Notes, limitations & best practices
Data differences: The LTF split uses request.security_lower_tf. If the exchange/data feed has sparse LTF data, the fallback kicks in (it’s deliberate to avoid NaNs but is a heuristic).
Real-time vs backtest: The current bar can update until close; results on historical bars use closed data. Use “Bar Replay” to understand intrabar effects.
No pyramiding: Only one position at a time. Modify pyramiding in the header if you need scaling.
Assets: For spot/crypto, TradingView “volume” is exchange volume; in some markets it may be tick volume—interpret filters accordingly.
Risk disclosure: Past performance ≠ future results. Use appropriate position sizing and risk controls; this is not financial advice.
