Intra_Candle_Welding by Chaitu50cIntra Candle Welding by Chaitu50c
This is a professional price action–based indicator designed to automatically detect and visualize *intra-candle reversal zones* using simple yet powerful logic. It highlights price levels where two consecutive opposite candles meet with a high probability of short-term market reaction.
Concept
The indicator identifies potential intraday support and resistance levels based on the "Intra Candle Welding" concept: when the close of one candle is very close to the open of the next candle, and the two candles have opposite directions (bullish followed by bearish, or bearish followed by bullish). These levels often attract market attention due to order flow imbalance created during such transitions.
How It Works
1. The indicator continuously monitors each new candle and checks if the current open is approximately equal to the previous close, within a configurable buffer.
2. It further ensures that the two candles form an opposite pair (green→red or red→green).
3. When a valid pair is detected, the indicator checks for existing active lines near this level. If no active line exists within the defined tolerance, it draws a new horizontal line at the detected level.
4. Each line is classified as either a potential resistance (from green→red pair) or support (from red→green pair).
5. Lines automatically extend rightward and update with each bar. If price breaks through the line beyond a configurable break buffer, the line stops extending and is visually marked as "broken."
6. The indicator intelligently manages the maximum number of lines on the chart by deleting the oldest ones when the limit is exceeded.
Use Case
Traders can use this tool to identify short-term reaction zones and potential intraday turning points. The highlighted levels act as temporary support and resistance areas where price frequently reacts. It is especially useful in fast-moving or volatile markets such as index futures or liquid stocks.
Features
* Automatically detects intra-candle reversal zones.
* Classifies zones as support (bottom) or resistance (top).
* Automatically updates and breaks lines when invalidated by price action.
* Adjustable parameters for flexibility:
* Equality Buffer
* Max Lines to Keep
* Line Suppression Tolerance
* Initial Extend Bars
* Break Buffer
* Line colors, widths, and styles (active and broken states)
* Efficient memory handling with capped line count.
* Minimalist and clean visual representation, suitable for overlay on any chart.
Recommended Settings
* Works best on intraday timeframes (1 min to 15 min).
* Tune the Equality Buffer and Tolerance parameters based on instrument volatility.
* Use conservative Break Buffer to avoid premature line invalidation.

Balance Price Range (BPR) IndicatorOverview
The BPR with Directional Momentum-Filtered Breakouts indicator is designed to identify Balanced Price Ranges (BPR) and d etect high-probability breakouts and breakdowns with directional momentum confirmation . By leveraging historical BPR structures, EMA-based momentum filtering , and a trade cooldown mechanism , this script provides a structured approach to identifying potential trading opportunities while reducing false signals.
This invite-only indicator is ideal for traders who seek precise breakout confirmation, reduced noise, and trend-following logic while maintaining flexibility through adjustable parameters.
How It Works
The script follows a multi-step breakout detection process by integrating multiple key technical components:
1. Balanced Price Range (BPR) Detection:
• A Balanced Candle is identified when the price remains within a specific percentage of its range midpoint.
• These BPR zones represent areas of equilibrium , where a breakout or breakdown is likely to occur.
• The script historically tracks BPR levels across the entire chart to monitor price action around key areas.
2. Momentum-Filtered Breakout & Breakdown Logic:
• Bullish Breakout: Occurs when the price breaks above the historical BPR high with bullish momentum.
• Bearish Breakdown: Occurs when the price breaks below the historical BPR low with bearish momentum.
• Momentum Confirmation: Each breakout requires a strong directional move, measured against the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) .
• Only confirmed breakouts are marked, reducing the likelihood of false signals in choppy markets.
3. Candle-Based Background Visualization:
• Grey Background: Represents a Balanced Price Range (BPR), indicating potential breakout zones.
• Green Background: Indicates a Bullish Breakout when the price successfully breaks and holds above the BPR high.
• Red Background: Indicates a Bearish Breakdown when the price drops below the BPR low.
4. Trade Cooldown Mechanism:
• Prevents consecutive signals from triggering too frequently.
• Default cooldown period: 5 bars (adjustable).
• Ensures that trades are not clustered, improving signal quality.
5. EMA for Trend Direction & Confirmation:
• A 20-period EMA (default, adjustable) is used to confirm trade direction.
• Breakouts above the EMA align with uptrend continuation.
• Breakdowns below the EMA align with downtrend momentum.
Key Features
✔️ Historical BPR Detection – Tracks past BPR levels across the entire chart for structured breakout zones.
✔️ Momentum-Based Breakouts – Ensures breakouts are confirmed by directional price movement before generating signals.
✔️ Candle-Based Background Logic – Subtle candle highlights rather than full background fills, for better chart clarity.
✔️ Trade Cooldown Period – Prevents consecutive buy/sell signals within a defined period, improving signal efficiency.
✔️ Dynamic EMA Confirmation – Ensures trades align with the overall trend, reducing counter-trend trades.
✔️ Customizable Inputs – Adjust breakout thresholds, EMA length, and cooldown periods as per trading style.
✔️ Works Across Multiple Timeframes – Can be applied to intraday, swing, and positional trading strategies.
How to Use
1. Look for Balanced Price Ranges ( BPR )
• These zones highlight equilibrium areas where price is likely to break out.
• Grey-shaded candles indicate potential breakout zones.
2. Monitor for Bullish or Bearish Breakouts
• A green candle background signals a bullish breakout above BPR.
• A red candle background signals a bearish breakdown below BPR.
• The EMA filter helps confirm whether the breakout aligns with the prevailing trend.
3. Follow the Cooldown Logic
• After a breakout signal, wait for the cooldown period before another trade is allowed.
• This helps filter out noisy price action and prevents excessive trading.
4. Use Alongside Other Indicators
• Works well with volume analysis, support/resistance levels, and price action strategies.
• Can be combined with other momentum indicators for further trade confirmation.
Why This Combination?
Unlike generic breakout indicators, this script uniquely combines:
• BPR historical structures for defining potential breakout zones.
• Momentum-based breakout filtering using EMA confirmation.
• Trade cooldown logic to avoid excessive trading signals.
• Subtle candle-based highlights instead of cluttered full-background fills.
This structured approach makes the indicator more robust, adaptive, and reliable in different market conditions.
Why It’s Worth Using?
🔹 Avoid False Breakouts: Built-in momentum confirmation prevents weak or fake breakouts.
🔹 Clean Visualization: No excessive overlays—just precise, meaningful background coloring for breakouts.
🔹 Works in Any Market: Use on stocks, crypto, forex, indices, and commodities across different timeframes.
🔹 User-Friendly & Customizable: Fine-tune parameters to match individual trading styles.
⚠️ Note: This is an Invite-Only script. Access is granted to selected users.
✅ If you find it useful, consider incorporating it into your trend-following & breakout trading strategies.

Trend Impulse Channels (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Trend Impulse Channels (Zeiierman) is a precision-engineered trend-following system that visualizes discrete trend progression using volatility-scaled step logic. It replaces traditional slope-based tracking with clearly defined “trend steps,” capturing directional momentum only when price action decisively confirms a shift through an ATR-based trigger.
This tool is ideal for traders who prefer structured, stair-step progression over fluid curves, and value the clarity of momentum-based bands that reveal breakout conviction, pullback retests, and consolidation zones. The channel width adapts automatically to market volatility, while the step logic filters out noise and false flips.
⚪ The Structural Assumption
This indicator is built on a core market structure observation:
After each strong trend impulse, the market typically enters a “cooling-off” phase as profit-taking occurs and counter-trend participants enter. This often results in a shallow pullback or stall, creating a slight negative slope in an uptrend (or a positive slope in a downtrend).
These “cooling-off” phases don’t reverse the trend — they signal temporary pressure before the next leg continues. By tracking trend steps discretely and filtering for this behavior, Trend Impulse Channels helps traders align with the rhythm of impulse → pause → impulse.
█ How It Works
⚪ Step-Based Trend Engine
At the heart of this tool is a dynamic step engine that progresses only when price crosses a predefined ATR-scaled trigger level:
Trigger Threshold (× ATR) – Defines how far price must break beyond the current trend state to register a new trend step.
Step Size (Volatility-Guided) – Each trend continuation moves the trend line in discrete units, scaling with ATR and trend persistence.
Trend Direction State – Maintains a +1/-1 internal bias to support directional filters and step tracking.
⚪ Volatility-Adaptive Channel
Each step is wrapped inside a dynamic envelope scaled to current volatility:
Upper and Lower Bands – Derived from ATR and band multipliers to expand/contract as volatility changes.
⚪ Retest Signal System
Optional signal markers show when price re-tests the upper or lower band:
Upper Retest → Pullback into resistance during a bearish trend.
Lower Retest → Pullback into support during a bullish trend.
⚪ Trend Step Signals
Circular markers can be shown to mark each time the trend steps forward, making it easy to identify structurally significant moments of continuation within a larger trend.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Alignment
Use the Trend Line and Step Markers to visually confirm the direction of momentum. If multiple trend steps occur in sequence without reversal, this typically signals strong conviction and trend persistence.
⚪ Retest-Based Entries
Wait for pullbacks into the channel and monitor for triangle retest signals. When used in confluence with trend direction, these offer high-quality continuation setups.
⚪ Breakouts
Look for breakouts beyond the upper or lower band after a longer period of pause. For higher likelihood of success, look for breakouts in the direction of the trend.
█ Settings
Trigger Threshold (× ATR) - Defines how far price must move to register a new trend step. Controls sensitivity to trend flips.
Max Step Size (× ATR) - Caps how far each trend step can extend. Prevents runaway step expansion in high volatility.
Band Multiplier (× ATR) - Expands the upper and lower channels. Controls how much breathing room the bands allow.
Trend Hold (bars) - Minimum number of bars the trend must remain active before allowing a flip. Helps reduce noise.
Filter by Trend - Restrict retest signals to those aligned with the current trend direction.

Trendline Breakouts With Volume Strength [TradeDots]Trendline Breakouts With Volume Strength is an innovative indicator designed to identify potential market turning points using pivot-based trendline detection and volume confirmation. By merging dynamic trendline analysis with multi-tiered volume filters, this tool helps traders quickly spot breakouts or breakdowns that may signal significant shifts in price action.
📝 HOW IT WORKS
1. Pivot-Based Trendline Detection
The script automatically scans for recent pivot highs and lows over a user-defined lookback period.
When it finds higher pivot lows, it plots green uptrend lines; when it finds lower pivot highs, it plots red downtrend lines.
These dynamic lines update as new pivots form, providing continuously refreshed trend guidance.
2. Volume Ratio Analysis
A moving average of volume is compared against the current bar’s volume to calculate a ratio (e.g., 1.5×, 2×).
Higher ratios suggest above-average volume, often interpreted as stronger participation.
The script applies color-coded cues to highlight the intensity of volume surges.
3. Breakout & Breakdown Detection
Each trendline is monitored for a defined “break threshold,” which helps avoid minor penetrations that can trigger premature signals.
When price closes beyond a threshold below an uptrend line, the indicator labels it a “BREAKDOWN.” If it closes above a threshold on a downtrend line, it labels it a “BREAKOUT.”
Volume surges accompanying these breaks are highlighted with contextual emojis and distinct color gradients for quick visual reference.
4. Trend Direction Table
A small on-chart table provides a snapshot of the current market trend—Uptrend, Downtrend, or Sideways—based on a simple moving average slope and the number of active uptrend or downtrend lines.
This table also displays quick stats on how many lines are actively tracked, helping traders assess the broader market posture at a glance.
🛠️ HOW TO USE
1. Choose a Timeframe
This script works on multiple timeframes. Intraday traders can monitor minute or hourly charts for frequent pivot updates, while swing and position traders may prefer daily or weekly intervals to reduce noise.
2. Observe Trendlines & Labels
Watch for newly drawn green/red lines connecting pivots.
When you see a “BREAKOUT” or “BREAKDOWN” label, confirm whether volume was abnormally high based on the ratio or color-coded bars.
3. Consult the Trend Table
Use the table in the bottom-right corner to quickly check if the market is trending or range-bound.
Look at the count of active uptrend vs. downtrend lines to gauge broader sentiment.
4. Employ Additional Analysis
Combine these signals with other tools (e.g., candlestick patterns, oscillators, or fundamental analysis).
Validate potential breakouts using standard techniques like retests or support/resistance checks.
❗️LIMITATIONS
Delayed Pivots: Trendlines only adjust once new pivot highs or lows form, which can introduce a slight lag in highly volatile environments.
Choppy Markets: Rapid, back-and-forth price moves may produce conflicting trendline signals and frequent breakouts/breakdowns.
Volume Data Reliability: Gaps in volume data or unusual market conditions (holidays, low-liquidity sessions) can skew ratio readings.

Support and Resistance Logistic Regression | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Logistic Regression Support / Resistance indicator! This tool leverages advanced statistical modeling "Logistic Regressions" to identify and project key price levels where the market is likely to find support or resistance. For more information about the process, please check the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Logistic Regression Support / Resistance Features :
Intelligent S/R Identification : The indicator uses a logistic regression model to intelligently identify and plot significant support and resistance levels.
Predictive Probability : Each identified level comes with a calculated probability, indicating how likely it is to act as a true support or resistance based on historical data.
Retest & Break Labels : The indicator clearly marks on your chart when a detected support or resistance level is retested (price touches and respects the level) or broken (price decisively crosses through the level).
Alerts : Real-time alerts for support retests, resistance retests, support breaks, and resistance breaks.
Customizable : You can change support & resistance line style, width and colors.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
What makes this indicator truly unique is its application of logistic regression to the concept of support and resistance. Instead of merely identifying historical highs and lows, our indicator uses a statistical model to predict the future efficacy of these levels. It analyzes underlying market conditions (like RSI and body size at pivot formation) to assign a probability to each potential S/R zone. This predictive insight, combined with dynamic, real-time labeling of retests and breaks, provides a more robust and adaptive understanding of market structure than traditional, purely historical methods.
📌HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The Logistic Regression Support / Resistance indicator operates in several key steps:
First, it identifies significant pivot highs and lows on the chart based on a user-defined "Pivot Length." These pivots are potential areas of support or resistance.
For each detected pivot, the indicator extracts relevant market data at that specific point, including the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and the Body Size (the absolute difference between the open and close price of the candle). These serve as input features for the model.
The core of the indicator lies in its logistic regression model. This model is continuously trained on past pivot data and their subsequent behavior (i.e., whether they were "respected" as support/resistance multiple times). It learns the relationship between the extracted features (RSI, Body Size) and the likelihood of a pivot becoming a significant S/R level.
When a new pivot is identified, the model uses its learned insights to calculate a prediction value—a probability (from 0 to 1) that this specific pivot will act as a strong support or resistance.
If the calculated probability exceeds a user-defined "Probability Threshold," the pivot is designated a "Regression Pivot" and drawn on the chart as a support or resistance line. The indicator then actively tracks how price interacts with these levels, displaying "R" labels for retests when the price bounces off the level and "B" labels for breaks when the price closes beyond it.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Pivot Length: This setting defines the number of bars used to determine a significant high or low for pivot detection.
Target Respects: This input specifies how many times a level must be "respected" by price action for it to be considered a strong support or resistance level by the underlying model.
Probability Threshold: This is the minimum probability output from the logistic regression model for a detected pivot to be considered a valid support or resistance level and be plotted on the chart.
2. Style
Show Prediction Labels: Enable or disable labels that display the calculated probability of a newly identified regression S/R level.
Show Retests: Toggle the visibility of "R" labels on the chart, which mark instances where price has retested a support or resistance level.
Show Breaks: Toggle the visibility of "B" labels on the chart, which mark instances where price has broken through a support or resistance level.
ZigZag ProZigZag Pro is a precise market structure indicator that automatically detects two independent ZigZag patterns and highlights breakouts whenever significant highs or lows are breached.
The indicator calculates two separate ZigZag structures in real time. ZigZag1 captures the broader market swings and is ideal for trend or swing trading. ZigZag2 is optional and reacts more quickly – perfect for intraday or scalping setups. Both layers are fully customizable in terms of depth, color, and line width.
What makes this tool especially useful: whenever a previous swing high (for long trades) or swing low (for short trades) is broken, the indicator draws a horizontal breakout line on the chart. This makes it easy to spot structural breakouts and take advantage of potential momentum moves.
ZigZag Pro is designed for traders who rely on clean, rule-based market structure — whether you're trading classic breakouts, smart money concepts, or simply want a clearer view of trend shifts. The visuals are minimal, responsive, and suitable for any timeframe.

Swing + 3-Bar Breakout(Mastersinnifty)Overview
This script is a hybrid trading tool combining swing-based structural analysis, momentum filtering, and breakout validation — designed to detect early reversals and confirm trend continuations within a single unified system.
It integrates five major components:
- ZigZag Structural Detection — to identify critical swing highs and lows.
- Momentum Validation — using RSI and Rate of Change (ROC) to confirm the strength behind swings.
- Three-Bar Breakout Confirmation — spotting trend continuation beyond swing structures.
- Dynamic Trailing Stop System — managing trades adaptively via ATR-based trailing stops.
- Projected Target Levels — estimating future price destinations based on measured swings.
---
What Makes This Script Unique
Rather than using standard indicators in isolation, this script layers multiple conditions sequentially and contextually:
- Structural Foundation: Identifies pivots through a tight ZigZag algorithm tuned with a low-depth setting for early detection.
- Momentum Checkpoint: Validates pivots only if RSI extremes and ROC momentum surges align, reducing false breakouts during sideways movements.
- Breakout Validation: Confirms trend continuation when price breaches critical multi-bar highs/lows post-swing formation.
- Risk-Managed Progression: Initiates adaptive ATR-based trailing stops immediately after signal generation, tightening risk dynamically as trends unfold.
- Target Projection: Estimates potential move size by projecting the magnitude of the last completed swing, offering realistic price milestones.
This combination provides a dual-purpose tool for both reversals and breakouts, allowing flexible trading styles within a single indicator.
---
How the Script Works
- Swing Detection
- A swing low is identified when a price bottom forms (via ZigZag) and momentum conditions are met (RSI < 20, ROC > +0.5).
- A swing high is identified when a price top forms and momentum conditions are met (RSI > 80, ROC < -0.5).
- Breakout Confirmation
- After a swing is detected, if price crosses above/below a three-bar swing structure, a secondary breakout signal is triggered.
- Trailing Stop Activation:
- Upon a confirmed swing or breakout, an ATR-multiplied trailing stop is initialized below/above the entry point to secure profits dynamically.
- Projection Logic
- Swing height is measured from the latest high-low sequence, and potential future targets are plotted for visual guidance.
---
Who Can Benefit From This Indicator
- Swing Traders — who seek early entries around reversal zones.
- Scalpers & Intraday Traders — needing fast-reacting momentum-based confirmation.
- Breakout Traders — to time entries after multi-bar compressions.
- Risk Managers — through integrated ATR trailing stops for dynamic exit management.
- Price Action Analysts — utilizing projected swing targets for strategic planning.
---
How to Use
- Entry Identification
- Look for buy signals at swing lows with strong positive momentum.
- Look for sell signals at swing highs with strong negative momentum.
- Use breakout confirmations to validate the trend continuation beyond swings.
- Risk Management
- Monitor trailing stop lines to track trade health.
- Watch projected targets to anticipate realistic move completions.
- Chart Visibility
- All plotted points, breakout markers, trailing stops, and projected levels are generated automatically for clarity.

✅ Customizable histogram coloring for visual momentum shifts
✅ Built-in alerts for zero-crosses and Z-threshold breaks
✅ Clean overlay with optional display toggles
🔁 Strategy Tip: Mean Reversion Signals with Statistical Confidence
This indicator isn't just for spotting breakouts — it also shines as a mean reversion tool , thanks to its Z-Score normalization .
When the Z-Score histogram crosses beyond ±2, it marks a statistically significant deviation from the mean — often signaling that momentum is overstretched and the asset may be due for a pullback or reversal .
📌 How to use it:
Z > +2 → Price action is in overbought territory. Watch for exhaustion or short setups.
Z < -2 → Momentum is deeply oversold. Look for reversal confirmation or long opportunities.
These zones often precede snap-back moves , especially in range-bound or corrective markets .
🎯 Combine Z-Score extremes with:
Candlestick confirmation
Support/resistance zones
Volume or price divergence
Other mean reversion tools (e.g., RSI, Bollinger Bands)
Unlike the raw MACD, this version delivers statistical thresholds , not guesswork — helping traders make decisions rooted in probability, not emotion.

TQ's Support & Resistance(My goal creating this indicator): Provide a way to categorize and label key structures on multiple different levels so I can create a plan based on those observable facts.
The Underlying Concept / What is Momentum?
Momentum indicates transaction pressure. If the algorithm detects price is going up, that would be considered positive momentum. If the algorithm detects price is going down negative momentum would be detected.
The Momentum shown is derived from a price action pattern. Unlike my previous Support & Resistance indicator that used Super Trend, this indicator uses a unique pattern I created. On the first bar bearish momentum is detected a resistance Level is made at the highest point of the previous bullish condition. On the first bar bullish momentum is detected a support Level is made at the lowest point of the previous bearish condition. This happens on 5 different Momentum Levels, (short-term to long-term). I currently use this pattern to trade so the source code is protected.
What is Severity?
Severity is How we differentiate the importance of different Highs and Lows. If Momentum is detected on a higher level the Supply or Demand Level is updated. The Color and Size representing that Level will be shown. Demand and Supply Levels made by higher levels are more SEVERE than a demand level made by a lower level.
Technical Inputs
- to ensure the correct calculation of Support and Resistance levels change BAR_INDEX. BAR_INDEX creates a buffer at the start of the chart. For example: If you set BAR_INDEX to 300. The script will wait for 300 bars to elapse on the current chart before running. This allows the script more time to gather data. Which is needed in order for our dynamic lookback length to never return an error (Dynamic lookback length can't be negative or zero). The lower the timeframe the greater the number of bars need. For Example, if I open up a 1min chart I would enter 5000 as my BAR_INDEX since that will provide enough data to ensure the correct calculation of Support and Resistance levels. If I was on a daily chart, I would enter a lower number such as 800. Don't be afraid to play around with this.
- Toggle options (Close) or (High & Low) creates Support and Resistance Levels using the Lowest close and Highest close or using the Lowest low and Highest high.
Level Inputs
- The indicator has 5 Different Levels indicating SEVEREITY of a Supply and Demand Levels. The higher the Level the more SEVERE the Level.
Display Inputs
- You have the option to customize the Length, Width, Line Style, and Colors of all 5 different
- This indicator includes a Trend Chart. To Easily verify the current trend of any displayed by this indicator toggle on Chart On/Off. You also get the option to change the Chart Position and the size of the Trend Chart
How Trend Is being Determined?
(Close > Current Supply Level) if this statement is true technically price made a HH, so the trend is bullish.
(Close < Current Demand Level) if this statement is true technically price made a LL, so the trend is bearish.
- Fully customize how you display Market Structure on different levels. Line Length, Line Width, Line Style, and Line color can all be customized.
How it can be used?
(Examples of Different ways you can use this indicator): Easily categorize the severity of each and every Supply or Demand Level in the market (The higher Level the stronger the level)
: Quickly Determine the trend of any Level.

Qullamaggie [Modified] | FractalystWhat's the purpose of this strategy?
The strategy aims to identify high-probability breakout setups in trending markets, inspired by Kristjan "Qullamaggie" Kullamägi’s approach.
It focuses on capturing explosive price moves after periods of consolidation, using technical criteria like moving averages, breakouts, trailing stop-loss and momentum confirmation.
Ideal for swing traders seeking to ride strong trends while managing risk.
----
How does the strategy work?
The strategy follows a systematic process to capture high-momentum breakouts:
Pre-Breakout Criteria:
Prior Price Surge: Identifies stocks that have rallied 30-100%+ in recent month(s), signaling strong underlying momentum (per Qullamaggie’s volatility expansion principles).
Consolidation Phase: Looks for a tightening price range (e.g., flag, pennant, or tight base), indicating a potential "coiling" before continuation.
Trend Confirmation: Uses moving averages (e.g., 20/50/200 EMA) to ensure the stock is trading above key averages on the daily chart, confirming an uptrend.
Price Break: Enters when price clears the consolidation high with conviction.
Risk Management:
Initial Stop Loss: Placed below the consolidation low or a recent swing point to limit downside.
Break-Even Adjustment: Moves stop loss to breakeven once the trade reaches 1.5x risk-to-reward (RR), securing a "free trade" while letting winners run.
Trailing Stop (Unique Edge):
Market Structure Trailing: Instead of trailing via moving averages, the stop is dynamically adjusted using structural invalidation level. This adapts to price action, allowing the trade to stay open during volatile retracements while locking in gains as new structure forms.
Why This Matters: Most strategies use rigid trailing stops (e.g., below the 10EMA), which often exit prematurely in choppy markets. By trailing based on structure, this strategy avoids "noise" and captures larger trends, directly boosting overall returns.
----
What markets or timeframes is this suited for?
This is a long-only strategy designed for trending markets, and it performs best in:
Markets: Stocks (especially high-growth, liquid equities), cryptocurrencies (major pairs with strong volatility), commodities (e.g., oil, gold), and futures (index/commodity futures).
Timeframes: Primarily daily charts for swing trades (1-30 day holds), though weekly charts can help confirm broader trends.
Key Advantage: The TradingView script allows instant backtesting with adjustable parameters
You can:
- Test historical performance across multiple markets to identify which assets align best with the strategy.
- Optimize settings (e.g., trailing stop sensitivity, moving averages etc.) to match a market’s volatility profile.
Build a diversified portfolio by filtering for markets that show consistent profitability in backtests.
For example, you might discover cryptos require tighter trailing stops due to volatility, while stocks thrive with wider structural stops. The script automates this analysis, letting you to trade confidently.
----
What indicators or tools does the strategy use?
The strategy combines customizable technical tools with strict anti-lookahead safeguards:
Core Indicators:
Moving Averages: Adjustable periods (e.g., 20/50/200 EMA or SMA) and timeframes (daily/weekly) to confirm trend alignment. Users can test combinations (e.g., 10EMA vs. 20EMA) to optimize for specific markets.
Breakout Parameters:
Consolidation Length: Adjustable window to define the "tightness" of the pre-breakout pattern.
Entry Models: Flexible entry logics (Breakouts and fractals)
Anti-Lookahead Design:
All calculations (e.g., moving averages, consolidation ranges, volume averages) use only closed/confirmed data available at the time of the signal.
----
How do I manage risk with this strategy?
The strategy prioritizes customizable risk controls to align with your trading style and account size:
User-Defined Risk Inputs:
Risk Per Trade: Set a % of Equity (e.g., 1-2%) to determine position size. The strategy auto-calculates shares/contracts to match your selected risk per trade.
Flexibility: Choose between fixed risk or equity-based scaling.
The script adjusts position sizing dynamically based on your selection.
Pyramiding Feature:
Customizable Entries: Adjust the number of pyramiding trades allowed (e.g., 1-3 additional positions) in the strategy settings. Each new entry is triggered only if the prior trade hits its 1.5x RR target and the trend remains intact.
Risk-Scaled Additions: New positions use profits from prior trades, compounding gains without increasing initial risk.
Risk-Free Trade Mechanic:
Once a trade reaches 1.5x RR, the stop loss is moved to breakeven, eliminating downside risk.
The strategy then opens a new position (if pyramiding is enabled) using a portion of the locked-in profit. This "snowballs" winners while keeping total capital exposure stable.
Impact on Net Profit & Drawdown:
Net Profit Boost: Pyramiding lets you ride multi-leg trends aggressively. For example, a 100% runner could generate 2-3x more profit vs. a single-entry approach.
Controlled Drawdowns: Since new positions are funded by profits (not initial capital), max drawdown stays anchored to your original risk per trade (e.g., 1-2% of account). Even if later entries fail, the breakeven stop on prior trades protects overall equity.
Why This Works: Most strategies either over-leverage (increasing drawdowns) or exit too early. By recycling profits into new positions only after securing risk-free capital, this approach mimics hedge fund "scaling in" tactics while staying retail-trader friendly.
----
How does the strategy identify market structure for its trailing stoploss?
The strategy identifies market structure by utilizing an efficient logic with for loops to pinpoint the first swing candle that features a pivot of 2. This marks the beginning of the break of structure, where the market's previous trend or pattern is considered invalidated or changed.
----
What are the underlying calculations?
The underlying calculations involve:
Identifying Swing Points: The strategy looks for swing highs (marked with blue Xs) and swing lows (marked with red Xs). A swing high is identified when a candle's high is higher than the highs of the candles before and after it. Conversely, a swing low is when a candle's low is lower than the lows of the candles before and after it.
Break of Structure (BOS):
Bullish BOS: This occurs when the price breaks above the swing high level of the previous structure, indicating a potential shift to a bullish trend.
Bearish BOS: This happens when the price breaks below the swing low level of the previous structure, signaling a potential shift to a bearish trend.
Structural Liquidity and Invalidation:
Structural Liquidity: After a break of structure, liquidity levels are updated to the first swing high in a bullish BOS or the first swing low in a bearish BOS.
Structural Invalidation: If the price moves back to the level of the first swing low before the bullish BOS or the first swing high before the bearish BOS, it invalidates the break of structure, suggesting a potential reversal or continuation of the previous trend.
This method provides users with a technical approach to filter market regimes, offering an advantage by minimizing the risk of overfitting to historical data, which is often a concern with traditional indicators like moving averages.
By focusing on identifying pivotal swing points and the subsequent breaks of structure, the strategy maintains a balance between sensitivity to market changes and robustness against historical data anomalies, ensuring a more adaptable and potentially more reliable market analysis tool.
----
What entry criteria are used in this script?
The script uses two entry models for trading decisions: BreakOut and Fractal.
Underlying Calculations:
Breakout: The script records the most recent swing high by storing it in a variable. When the price closes above this recorded level, and all other predefined conditions are satisfied, the script triggers a breakout entry. This approach is considered conservative because it waits for the price to confirm a breakout above the previous high before entering a trade. As shown in the image, as soon as the price closes above the new candle (first tick), the long entry gets taken. The stop-loss is initially set and then moved to break-even once the price moves in favor of the trade.
Fractal: This method involves identifying a swing low with a period of 2, which means it looks for a low point where the price is lower than the two candles before and after it. Once this pattern is detected, the script executes the trade. This is an aggressive approach since it doesn't wait for further price confirmation. In the image, this is represented by the 'Fractal 2' label where the script identifies and acts on the swing low pattern.
----
What type of stop-loss identification method are used in this strategy?
This strategy employs two types of stop-loss methods: Initial Stop-loss and Trailing Stop-Loss.
Underlying Calculations:
Initial Stop-loss:
ATR Based: The strategy uses the Average True Range (ATR) to set an initial stop-loss, which helps in accounting for market volatility without predicting price direction.
Calculation:
- First, the True Range (TR) is calculated for each period, which is the greatest of:
- Current Period High - Current Period Low
- Absolute Value of Current Period High - Previous Period Close
- Absolute Value of Current Period Low - Previous Period Close
- The ATR is then the moving average of these TR values over a specified period, typically 14 periods by default. This ATR value can be used to set the stop-loss at a distance from the entry price that reflects the current market volatility.
Swing Low Based:
For this method, the stop-loss is set based on the most recent swing low identified in the market structure analysis. This approach uses the lowest point of the recent price action as a reference for setting the stop-loss.
Trailing Stop-Loss:
The strategy uses structural liquidity and structural invalidation levels across multiple timeframes to adjust the stop-loss once the trade is profitable. This method involves:
Detecting Structural Liquidity: After a break of structure, the liquidity levels are updated to the first swing high in a bullish scenario or the first swing low in a bearish scenario. These levels serve as potential areas where the price might find support or resistance, allowing the stop-loss to trail the price movement.
Detecting Structural Invalidation: If the price returns to the level of the first swing low before a bullish break of structure or the first swing high before a bearish break of structure, it suggests the trend might be reversing or invalidating, prompting the adjustment of the stop-loss to lock in profits or minimize losses.
By using these methods, the strategy dynamically adjusts the initial stop-loss based on market volatility, helping to protect against adverse price movements while allowing for enough room for trades to develop. The ATR-based stop-loss adapts to the current market conditions by considering the volatility, ensuring that the stop-loss is not too tight during volatile periods, which could lead to premature exits, nor too loose during calm markets, which might result in larger losses. Similarly, the swing low based stop-loss provides a logical exit point if the market structure changes unfavorably.
Each market behaves differently across various timeframes, and it is essential to test different parameters and optimizations to find out which trailing stop-loss method gives you the desired results and performance. This involves backtesting the strategy with different settings for the ATR period, the distance from the swing low, and how the trailing stop-loss reacts to structural liquidity and invalidation levels.
Through this process, you can tailor the strategy to perform optimally in different market environments, ensuring that the stop-loss mechanism supports the trade's longevity while safeguarding against significant drawdowns.
----
What type of break-even method is used in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
Moves the initial stop-loss to the entry price when the price reaches a certain RR ratio.
Calculation:
Break-even level = Entry Price + (Initial Risk * RR Ratio)
----
What tables are available in this script?
- Summary: Provides a general overview, displaying key performance parameters such as Net Profit, Profit Factor, Max Drawdown, Average Trade, Closed Trades and more.
Total Commission: Displays the cumulative commissions incurred from all trades executed within the selected backtesting window. This value is derived by summing the commission fees for each trade on your chart.
Average Commission: Represents the average commission per trade, calculated by dividing the Total Commission by the total number of closed trades. This metric is crucial for assessing the impact of trading costs on overall profitability.
Avg Trade: The sum of money gained or lost by the average trade generated by a strategy. Calculated by dividing the Net Profit by the overall number of closed trades. An important value since it must be large enough to cover the commission and slippage costs of trading the strategy and still bring a profit.
MaxDD: Displays the largest drawdown of losses, i.e., the maximum possible loss that the strategy could have incurred among all of the trades it has made. This value is calculated separately for every bar that the strategy spends with an open position.
Profit Factor: The amount of money a trading strategy made for every unit of money it lost (in the selected currency). This value is calculated by dividing gross profits by gross losses.
Avg RR: This is calculated by dividing the average winning trade by the average losing trade. This field is not a very meaningful value by itself because it does not take into account the ratio of the number of winning vs losing trades, and strategies can have different approaches to profitability. A strategy may trade at every possibility in order to capture many small profits, yet have an average losing trade greater than the average winning trade. The higher this value is, the better, but it should be considered together with the percentage of winning trades and the net profit.
Winrate: The percentage of winning trades generated by a strategy. Calculated by dividing the number of winning trades by the total number of closed trades generated by a strategy. Percent profitable is not a very reliable measure by itself. A strategy could have many small winning trades, making the percent profitable high with a small average winning trade, or a few big winning trades accounting for a low percent profitable and a big average winning trade. Most mean-reversion successful strategies have a percent profitability of 40-80% but are profitable due to risk management control.
BE Trades: Number of break-even trades, excluding commission/slippage.
Losing Trades: The total number of losing trades generated by the strategy.
Winning Trades: The total number of winning trades generated by the strategy.
Total Trades: Total number of taken traders visible your charts.
Net Profit: The overall profit or loss (in the selected currency) achieved by the trading strategy in the test period. The value is the sum of all values from the Profit column (on the List of Trades tab), taking into account the sign.
- Monthly: Displays performance data on a month-by-month basis, allowing users to analyze performance trends over each month and year.
- Weekly: Displays performance data on a week-by-week basis, helping users to understand weekly performance variations.
- UI Table: A user-friendly table that allows users to view and save the selected strategy parameters from user inputs. This table enables easy access to key settings and configurations, providing a straightforward solution for saving strategy parameters by simply taking a screenshot with Alt + S or ⌥ + S.

ADR Checker - Breakouts📈 ADR Checker – Breakouts
Gain the edge by knowing when a stock has already made its move.
🚀 What It Does:
The ADR Checker - Breakouts is a powerful yet simple visual tool that helps traders instantly assess whether a stock has already exceeded its Average Daily Range (ADR) for the day — a critical piece of information for momentum traders, swing traders, and especially those following breakout, VCP, or CANSLIM strategies.
Using a customizable on-screen table that always stays in view (regardless of zoom or chart scaling), this script shows:
✅ Average ADR% – 20-day average range, calculated in %.
📊 Today’s Move – how much the stock has moved today.
🔥 % of Avg ADR – today's move relative to its historical average, with live color feedback:
🟥 Over 100% (Overextended – danger!)
🟧 70-100% (Caution zone)
🟩 Below 70% (Room to move)
💡 Why It Matters:
One of the most overlooked mistakes by breakout traders is entering a trade after the move has already happened. If a stock has already moved more than its typical daily range, the odds of further continuation sharply decrease, while the risk of pullback or chop increases.
With this tool, you can:
🚫 Avoid chasing extended breakouts
🎯 Time entries before the real move
⚠️ Quickly assess risk/reward potential intraday
🧠 Example Use Case:
Imagine you're watching a classic VCP setup or flat base breakout. The stock breaks out on volume—but when you check this indicator, you see:
Today’s Move: 7.2%
Avg ADR: 5.3%
% of ADR: 135% 🟥
This tells you the stock is already well beyond its average daily range. While it may continue higher, odds now favor a consolidation, shakeout, or pullback. This is your cue to wait for a better entry or pass entirely.
On the flip side, if the breakout just started and the % of ADR is still under 50%, you have confirmation that there’s room to run — giving you more confidence to enter early.
⚙️ Fully Customizable:
Choose position on screen (top/bottom left/right)
Customize text color, background, and size
🔧 Install This Tool and:
✅ Stop chasing extended moves
✅ Add discipline to your entries
✅ Improve your breakout win rate
Perfect for VCP, CANSLIM, and BREAKOUT traders who want a clean, edge-enhancing visual guide.
MLB Momentum IndicatorMLB Momentum Indicator is a no‐lookahead technical indicator designed to signal intraday trend shifts and potential reversal points. It combines several well‐known technical components—Moving Averages, MACD, RSI, and optional ADX & Volume filters—to deliver high‐probability buy/sell signals on your chart.
Below is an overview of how it works and what each part does:
1. Moving Average Trend Filter
The script uses two moving averages (fast and slow) to determine the primary trend:
isUpTrend if Fast MA > Slow MA
isDownTrend if Fast MA < Slow MA
You can select the MA method—SMA, EMA, or WMA—and customize lengths.
Why it matters: The indicator only gives bullish signals if the trend is up, and bearish signals if the trend is down, helping avoid trades that go against the bigger flow.
2. MACD Confirmation (Momentum)
Uses MACD (with user‐defined Fast, Slow, and Signal lengths) to check momentum:
macdBuySignal if the MACD line crosses above its signal line (bullish)
macdSellSignal if the MACD line crosses below its signal line (bearish)
Why it matters: MACD crossovers confirm an emerging momentum shift, aligning signals with actual price acceleration rather than random fluctuation.
3. RSI Overbought/Oversold Filter
RSI (Relative Strength Index) is calculated with a chosen length, plus Overbought & Oversold thresholds:
For long signals: the RSI must be below the Overbought threshold (e.g. 70).
For short signals: the RSI must be above the Oversold threshold (e.g. 30).
Why it matters: Prevents buying when price is already overbought or shorting when price is too oversold, filtering out possible poor‐risk trades.
4. Optional ADX Filter (Trend Strength)
If enabled, ADX must exceed a chosen threshold (e.g., 20) for a signal to be valid:
This ensures you’re only taking trades in markets that have sufficient directional momentum.
Why it matters: It weeds out choppy, sideways conditions where signals are unreliable.
5. Optional Volume Filter (High‐Participation Moves)
If enabled, the indicator checks whether current volume is above a certain multiple of its moving average (e.g., 1.5× average volume).
Why it matters: High volume often indicates stronger institutional interest, validating potential breakouts or reversals.
6. ATR & Chandelier (Visual Reference)
For reference only, the script can display ATR‐based stop levels or a Chandelier Exit line:
ATR (Average True Range) helps gauge volatility and can inform stop‐loss distances.
Chandelier Exit is a trailing stop technique that adjusts automatically as price moves.
Why it matters: Though this version of the script doesn’t execute trades, these lines help you see how far to place stops or how to ride a trend.
7. Final Bullish / Bearish Signal
When all conditions (trend, MACD, RSI, optional ADX, optional Volume) line up for a long, a green “Long” arrow appears.
When all conditions line up for a short, a red “Short” arrow appears.
Why it matters: You get a clear, on‐chart signal for each potential entry, rather than needing to check multiple indicators manually.
8. Session & Date Filtering
The script allows choosing a start/end date and an optional session window (e.g. 09:30–16:00).
Why it matters: Helps limit signals to a specific historical backtest range or trading hours, which can be crucial for day traders (e.g., stock market hours only).
Putting It All Together
Primary Trend → ensures you trade in line with the bigger direction.
MACD & RSI → confirm momentum and avoid overbought/oversold extremes.
ADX & Volume → optional filters for strong trend strength & genuine interest.
Arrows → each potential buy (Long) or sell (Short) signal is clearly shown on your chart.
Use Cases
5‐Minute Scalping: Shorter RSI/MACD lengths to catch small, frequent intraday moves.
Swing Trading: Larger MAs, bigger RSI thresholds, and using ADX to filter only major trends.
Cautious Approach: Enable volume & ADX filters to reduce false signals in choppy markets.
Benefits & Limitations
Benefits:
Consolidates multiple indicators into one overlay.
Clear buy/sell signals with optional dynamic volatility references.
Flexible user inputs adapt to different trading styles/timeframes.
Limitations:
Like all technical indicators, it can produce false signals in sideways or news‐driven markets.
Success depends heavily on user settings and the particular market’s behavior.
Summary
The MLB Momentum Indicator combines a trend filter (MAs), momentum check (MACD), overbought/oversold gating (RSI), and optional ADX/Volume filters to create clear buy/sell arrows on your chart. This approach encourages trading in sync with both trend and momentum, and helps avoid suboptimal entries when volume or trend strength is lacking. It can be tailored to scalp micro‐moves on lower timeframes or used for higher‐timeframe swing trading by adjusting the input settings.

Range Breakout Signals [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script detects range-bound market conditions and breakout signals using a combination of volatility compression and volume imbalance analysis. It identifies zones where price consolidates within a defined range and highlights potential breakout points with visual markers. Traders can use this to spot market transitions from ranging to trending phases, aiding in decision-making for breakout strategies.
CONCEPTS
The script measures volatility by comparing the ratio of the simple moving average (SMA) of price movements to their median value. When volatility drops below a threshold, the script assumes a range-bound market. It then tracks the cumulative volume of buying and selling pressure to assess breakout strength. The approach is based on the idea that market consolidation often precedes strong moves, and volume distribution can provide clues on the breakout direction.
FEATURES
Range Detection : Uses a volatility filter to identify low-volatility zones and marks them on the chart with shaded boxes.
Volume Imbalance Analysis : Evaluates cumulative up and down volume over a confirmation period to assess directional bias.
Breakout Signals : When price exits a detected range, the script plots breakout markers. A ▲ symbol indicates a bullish breakout, and a ▼ symbol indicates a bearish breakout. Additional "+" markers indicate strong volume imbalance favoring the breakout direction.
Adaptive Timeframe Volume Analysis : The script dynamically adjusts its volume calculation based on the chart’s timeframe, ensuring reliable signal generation across different trading conditions.
Alerts : Notifies traders when a new range is detected or when a breakout occurs, allowing for automated monitoring.
USAGE
Traders can use this script to identify potential trade setups by entering positions when price breaks out of a detected range. For breakout confirmation, traders can look at volume imbalance cues—bullish breakouts with strong buying volume may indicate sustained moves, while weak volume breakouts may lead to false signals. This script is particularly useful for breakout traders, range traders seeking to fade breakouts, and those looking to automate trade alerts in volatile markets.
TrendPredator PROThe TrendPredator PRO
Stacey Burke, a seasoned trader and mentor, developed his trading system over the years, drawing insights from influential figures such as George Douglas Taylor, Tony Crabel, Steve Mauro, and Robert Schabacker. His popular system integrates select concepts from these experts into a consistent framework. While powerful, it remains highly discretionary, requiring significant real-time analysis, which can be challenging for novice traders.
The TrendPredator indicators support this approach by automating the essential analysis required to trade the system effectively and incorporating mechanical bias and a multi-timeframe concept. They provide value to traders by significantly reducing the time needed for session preparation, offering all relevant chart analysis and signals for live trading in real-time.
The PRO version offers an advanced pattern identification logic that highlights developing context as well as setups related to the constellation of the signals provided. It provides real-time interpretation of the multi-timeframe analysis table, following an extensive underlying logic with more than 150 different setup variations specifically developed for the system and indicator. These setups are constantly back- and forward-tested and updated according to the results. This version is tailored to traders primarily trading this system and following the related setups in detail.
The former TrendPredator ES version does not provide that option. It is significantly leaner and is designed for traders who want to use the multi-timeframe logic as additional confluence for their trading style. It is very well suited to support many other trading styles, including SMC and ICT.
The Multi-timeframe Master Pattern
Inspired by Taylor’s 3-day cycle and Steve Mauro’s work with “Beat the Market Maker,” Burke’s system views markets as cyclical, driven by the manipulative patterns of market makers. These patterns often trap traders at the extremes of moves above or below significant levels with peak formations, then reverse to utilize their liquidity, initiating the next phase. Breakouts away from these traps often lead to range expansions, as described by Tony Crabel and Robert Schabacker. After multiple consecutive breakouts, especially after the psychological number three, overextension might develop. A break in structure may then lead to reversals or pullbacks. The TrendPredator Indicator and the related multi-timeframe trading system are designed to track these cycles on the daily timeframe and provide signals and trade setups to navigate them.
Bias Logic and Multi-Timeframe Concept
The indicator covers the basic signals of Stacey Burke's system:
- First Red Day (FRD): Bearish break in structure, signalling weak longs in the market.
- First Green Day (FGD): Bullish break in structure signalling weak shorts in the markt.
- Three Days of Longs (3DL): Overextension signalling potential weak longs in the market.
- Three Days of Shorts (3DS): Overextension signalling potential weak shorts in the market.
- Inside Day (ID): Contraction, signalling potential impulsive reversal or range expansion move.
It enhances the original system by introducing:
Structured Bias Logic:
Tracks bias by following how price trades concerning the last previous candle high or low that was hit. For example if the high was hit, we are bullish above and bearish below.
- Bullish state: Breakout (BO), Fakeout Low (FOL)
- Bearish state: Breakdown (BD), Fakeout High (FOH)
Multi-Timeframe Perspective:
- Tracks all signals across H4, H8, D, W, and M timeframes, to look for alignment and follow trends and momentum in a mechanical way.
Developing Context:
- Identifies specific predefined context states based on the monthly, weekly and daily bias.
Developing Setups:
- Identifies specific predefined setups based on context and H8 bias as well as SB signals.
The indicator monitors the bias and signals of the system across all relevant timeframes and automates the related graphical chart analysis as well as context and setup zone identification. In addition to the master pattern, the system helps to identify the higher timeframe situation and follow the moves driven by other timeframe traders to then identify favourable context and setup situations for the trader.
Example: Full Bullish Cycle on the Daily Timeframe with Multi-Timeframe Signals
- The Trap/Peak Formation
The market breaks down from a previous day’s and maybe week’s low—potentially after multiple breakdowns—but fails to move lower and pulls back up to form a peak formation low and closes as a first green day.
MTF Signals: Bullish daily and weekly fakeout low; three consecutive breakdown days (1W Curr FOL, 1D Curr FOL, BO 3S).
Context: Reversal (REV)
Setup: Fakeout low continuation low of day (FOL Cont LOD)
- Pullback and Consolidation
The next day pulls further up after first green day signal, potentially consolidates inside the previous day’s range.
MTF Signals: Fakeout low and first green day closing as an inside day (1D Curr IS, Prev FOL, First G).
Context: Reversal continuation (REV Cont)
Setup: Previous fakeout low continuation low handing fruit (Prev FOL Cont LHF)
- Range Expansion/Trend
The following day breaks up through the previous day’s high, launching a range expansion away from the trap.
MTF Signals: Bullish daily breakout of an inside day (1D Curr BO, Prev IS).
Context: Uptrend healthy (UT)
Setup: Breakout continuation low hanging fruit (BO Cont LHF)
- Overextension
After multiple consecutive breakouts, the market reaches a state of overextension, signalling a possible reversal or pullback.
MTF Signals: Three days of breakout longs (1D Curr BO, Prev BO, BO 3L).
Context: Uptrend extended (UT)
- Reversal
After a breakout of previous days high that fails, price pulls away from the high showing a rollover of momentum across all timeframes and a potential short setup.
MTF Signals: Three days of breakout longs, daily fakeout high (1D 3L, FOH)
Context: Reversal countertrend (REV)
Setup: Fakeout high continuation high of day (FOH Cont HOD)
Note: This is only one possible illustrative scenario; there are many variations and combinations.

Note: The signals shown along the move are manually added illustrations. The indicator shows these in realtime in the table at top and bottom right. This is only one possible scenario; there are many variations and combinations.
Due to the fractal nature of markets, this cycle can be observed across all timeframes. The strongest setups occur when there is multi-timeframe alignment. For example, a peak formation and potential reversal on the daily timeframe have higher probability and follow-through when they align with bearish signals on higher timeframes (e.g., weekly/monthly BD/FOH) and confirmation on lower timeframes (H4/H8 FOH/BD). With this perspective, the system enables the trader to follow the trend and momentum while identifying rollover points in a highly differentiated and precise way.
Using the Indicator for Trading
The automated analysis provided by the indicator can be used for thesis generation in preparation for a session as well as for live trading, leveraging the real-time updates as well as the context and setup indicated or alerted. It is recommended to customize the settings deeply, such as hiding the lower timeframes for thesis generation or the specific alert time window and settings to the specific trading schedule and playbook of the trader.
1. Context Assessment:
Evaluate alignment of higher timeframes (e.g., Month/Week, Week/Day). More alignment → Stronger setups.
- The context table offers an interpretation of the higher timeframe automatically. See below for further details.
2. Setup Identification:
Follow the bias of daily and H8 timeframes. A setup mostly requires alignment of these.
Setup Types:
- Trend Trade: Trade in alignment with the previous day’s trend.
Example: Price above the previous day’s high → Focus on long setups (dBO, H8 FOL) until overextension or reversal signs appear (H8 BO 3L, First R).
- Reversal Trade: Identify reversal setups when lower timeframes show rollovers after higher timeframe weakness.
Example: Price below the previous day’s high → Look for reversal signals at the current high of day (H8 FOH, BO 3L, First R).
- The setup table shows potential setups for the specific price zone in the table automatically. See below for further details.
3. Entry Confirmation:
Confirm entries based on H8 and H4 alignment, candle closes and lower timeframe fakeouts.
- H8 and H4 should always align for a final confirmation, meaning the breach lines should be both in the back of a potential trade setup.
- M15/ 5 candle close can be seen as acceptance beyond a level or within the setup zone.
- M15/5 FOH/ FOL signals lower timeframe traps potentially indicating further confirmation.
Example Chart Reversal Trade:
Context: REV (yellow), Reversal counter trend, Month in FOL with bearish First R, Week in BO but bearishly overextended with BO 3L, Day in Fakeout high reversing bearishly.
Setup: FOH Cont HOD (red), Day in Fakeout high after BO 3L overextension, confirmed by H8 FOH high of day, First R as further confluence. Two star quality and countertrend.
Entry: H4 BD, M15 close below followed by M15 FOH.
Detailed Features and Options
1. Context and Setup table
The Context and Setup Table is the core feature of the TrendPredator PRO indicator. It delivers real-time interpretation of the multi-timeframe analysis based on an extensive underlying logic table with over 150 variations, specifically developed for this system and indicator. This logic is continuously updated and optimized to ensure accuracy and performance.
1.1. Developing Context
States for developing higher timeframe context are determined based on signals from the monthly, weekly, and daily timeframes.
- Green and Red indicate alignment and potentially interesting developing setups.
- Yellow signals a mixed or conflicting bias, suggesting caution when taking trades.
The specific states are:
- UT (yellow): Uptrend extended
- UT (green): Uptrend healthy
- REV (yellow): Reversal day counter trend
- REV (green): Reversal day mixed trend
- REV Cont (green): Reversal continuation mixed trend
- REV Cont (yellow): Reversal continuation counter trend
- REV into UT (green): Reversal day into uptrend
- REV Cont into UT (green): Reversal continuation into uptrend
- UT Pullback (yellow): Counter uptrend breakdown day
- Conflicting (yellow): Conflicting signals
- Consolidating (yellow): Consolidating sideways
- Inside (yellow): Trading inside after an inside week
- DT Pullback (yellow): Counter downtrend breakout day
- REV Cont into DT (red): Reversal continuation into downtrend
- REV into DT (red): Reversal day into downtrend
- REV Cont (yellow): Reversal continuation counter trend
- REV Cont (red): Reversal continuation mixed trend
- REV (red): Reversal day mixed trend
- REV (yellow): Reversal day countertrend
- DT (red): Downtrend healthy
- DT (yellow): Downtrend extended
Example: Uptrend
The Uptrend Context (UT, green) indicates a healthy uptrend with all timeframes aligning bullishly. In this case, the monthly is in a Fakeout Low (FOL) and currently inside the range, while the weekly and daily are both in Breakout (BO) states. This context is favorable for developing long setups in the direction of the trend.
Example: Uptrend pullback
The Uptrend Pullback Context (UT Pullback, yellow) indicates a Breakdown (BD) on the daily timeframe against a higher timeframe uptrend. In this case, the monthly is in a Fakeout Low (FOL) and currently inside its range, the weekly is in Breakout (BO) and also currently inside, while the daily is in Breakdown (BD). This context reflects a conflicting situation—potentially signaling either an early reversal back into the uptrend or, if the breakdown extends, the beginning of a possible trend change.
Example: Reversal into Uptrend
The Reversal into Uptrend Context (REV into UT, green) indicates a lower timeframe reversal aligning with a higher timeframe uptrend. In this case, the monthly is in Breakout (BO), the weekly is in Breakout (BO) and currently inside its range, while the daily is showing a bullish Fakeout Low (FOL) reversal. This context is potentially very favorable for long setups, as it signals a strong continuation of the uptrend supported across multiple timeframes.
Example: Reversal
The Bearish Reversal Context indicates a lower timeframe rollover within an ongoing higher timeframe uptrend. In this case, the monthly remains in Breakout (BO), the weekly has shifted into a Fakeout High (FOH) after three weeks of breakout longs, and the daily is already in Breakdown (BD). This context suggests a potentially favorable developing short setup, as early signs of weakness appear across timeframes.
1.2. Developing Setup
The states for specific setups are based on the context and the signals from the daily timeframe and H8, indicating that price is in the zone of alignment. The setup description refers to the state of the daily timeframe, while the suffix relates to the H8 timeframe. For example, "prev FOH Cont LHF" means that the previous day is in FOH (Fakeout High) relative to yesterday's breakout level, currently trading inside, and we are in an H8 breakdown, indicating a potential LHF (Lower High Formation) short trade if the entry confirms. The suffix HOD means that H8 is in FOH or BO (Breakout).
The specific states are:
- REV HOD (red): Reversal high of day
- REV Cont LHF (red): Reversal continuation low hanging fruit
- BO Cont LHF (green): Breakout continuation low hanging fruit
- BO Cont LOD (green): Breakout continuation low of day
- FOH Cont HOD (red): Fakeout high continuation high of day
- FOH Cont LHF ((red): Fakeout high continuation low hanging fruit
- prev BD Cont HOD (red): Previous breakdown continuation high of day
- prev BD Cont LHF (red): Previous breakdown continuation low hanging fruit
- prev FOH Cont HOD (red): Previous fakeout high continuation high of day
- prev FOH Cont LHF (red): Previous fakeout high continuation low hanging fruit
- prev FOL Cont LOD (green): Previous fakeout low continuation low of day
- prev FOL Cont LHF (green): Previous fakeout low continuation low hanging fruit
- prev BO Cont LOD (green): Previous breakout continuation low of day
- prev BO Cont LHF (green): Previous breakout continuation low hanging fruit
- FOL Cont LHF (green): Fakeout low continuation low hanging fruit
- FOL Cont LOD (green): Fakeout low continuation low of day
- BD Cont LHF (red): BD continuation low hanging fruit
- BD Cont LOD (red): Breakdown continuation low of day
- REV Cont LHF (green): Reversal continuation low hanging fruit
- REV LOD (green): Reversal low of day
- Inside: Trading inside after an inside day
Type: Indicates the situation of the indicated setup concerning:
- Trend: Following higher timeframe trend
- Mixed: Mixed higher timeframe signals
- Counter: Against higher timeframe bias
Quality: Indicates the quality of the indicated setup according to the specified logic table
No star: Very low quality
* One star: Low quality
** Two star: Medium quality
*** Three star: High quality
Example: Breakout Continuation Trend Setup
This setup highlights a healthy uptrend where the month is in a breakout, the week is in a fakeout low, and the day is in a breakout after a first green day. As the H8 breaks out to the upside, a long setup zone is triggered, presenting a breakout continuation low-hanging fruit trade. This is a trend trade in an overextended situation on the H8, with an H8 3L, resulting in an overall quality rating of one star.
Example: Fakeout Low Continuation Trend Setup
This setup shows a reversal into uptrend, with the month in a breakout, the week in a breakout, and the day in a fakeout low after breaking down the previous day and now reversing back up. As H8 breaks out to the upside, a long setup zone is triggered, presenting a previous fakeout low continuation, low-hanging fruit trade. This is a medium-quality trend trade.
Example: Reversal Setup - Mixed Trend
This setup shows a reversal setup in line with the weekly trend, with the month in a fakeout low, the week in a fakeout high, and the day in a fakeout high after breaking out earlier in the day and now reversing back down. As H8 loses the previous breakout level after 3 breakouts (with H8 3L), a short setup zone is triggered, presenting a fakeout high continuation at the high of the day. This is a high-quality trade in a mixed trend situation.
Setup Alerts:
Alerts can be activated for setups freshly triggered on the chart within your trading window.
Detailed filter logic for setup alerts:
- Setup quality: 1-3 star
- Setup type: Counter, Mixed and Trend
- Setup category: e.g. Reversal Bearish, Breakout, Previous Fakeout High
- 1D BO and First signals: 3DS, 3DL, FRD, FGD, ID
Options:
- Alerts on/ off
- Alert time window (from/ to)
- Alert filter customization
Note: To activate alerts from a script in TradingView, some settings need to be adjusted. Open the "Create Alert" dialog and select the option "Any alert() function call" in the "Condition" section. Choose "TrendPredator PRO" to ensure that alerts trigger properly from the code. Alerts can be activated for entire watchlists or individual pairs. Once activated, the alerts run in the background and notify the user whenever a setup is freshly triggered according to the filter settings.
2. Multi-Timeframe Table
Provides a real-time view of system signals, including:
Current Timeframe (Curr): Bias states.
- Breakout (green BO): Bullish after breaking above the previous high.
- Fakeout High (red FOH): Bearish after breaking above the previous high but pulling back down.
- Breakdown (red BD): Bearish after breaking below the previous low.
- Fakeout Low (green FOL): Bullish after breaking below the previous low but pulling back up.
- Inside (IS): Price trading neutral inside the previous range, taking the previous bias (color indicates the previous bias).
Previous Timeframe (Prev): Tracks last candle bias state and transitions dynamically.
- Bias for last candle: BO, FOH, BD, FOL in respective colors.
- Inside bar (yellow IS): Indicated as standalone signal.
Note: Also previous timeframes get constantly updated in real time to track the bias state in relation to the level that was hit. This means a BO can still lose the level and become a FOH, and vice versa, and a BD can still become a FOL, and vice versa. This is critical to see for example if traders that are trapped in that timeframe with a FOH or FOL are released. An inside bar stays fixed, though, since no level was hit in that timeframe.
Breakouts (BO): Breakout count 3 longs and 3 shorts.
- 3 Longs (red 3L): Bearish after three breakouts without hitting a previous low.
- 3 Shorts (green 3S): Bullish after three breakdowns without hitting a previous high.
First Countertrend Close (First): Tracks First Red or Green Day.
- First Green (G): After two consecutive red closes.
- First Red (R): After two consecutive green closes.
Options: Customizable font size and label colors.
3. Historic Highs and Lows
Displays historic highs and lows per timeframe for added context, enabling users to track sequences over time.
Timeframes: H4, H8, D, W, M
Options: Customize for timeframes shown, number of historic candles per timeframe, colors, formats, and labels.

Higher Timeframe Use Case Examples
Example Use Case: Weekly Template Analysis
The Weekly Template is a core concept in Stacey Burke’s trading style. The analysis is conducted on the daily timeframe, focusing on the higher timeframe bias and identifying overextended conditions within the week—such as multiple breakouts and peak formations signaling potential reversals.
In this example, the candles are colored by the TrendPredator FO indicator, which highlights the state of individual candles. This allows for precise evaluation of both the trend state and the developing weekly template. It is a valuable tool for thesis generation before a trading session and for backtesting purposes.
Example Use Case: High Timeframe 5-Star Setup Analysis (Stacey Burke "ain't coming back" ACB Template)
This analysis identifies high-probability trade opportunities when daily breakout or breakdown closes occur near key monthly levels mid-week, signaling overextensions and potentially large parabolic moves. The key signal to look for is a breakout or breakdown close on a Wednesday. This is useful for thesis generation before a session and also for backtesting.
In this example, the TrendPredator FO indicator colors the candles to highlight individual candle states, particularly those that close in breakout or breakdown. Additionally, an indicator is shown on the chart shading every Wednesday, making it easier to visually identify the signals.
5 Star Alerts:
Alerts can be activated for this potential 5-Star setup constellation. The alert is triggered when there is a breakout or breakdown close on a Wednesday.
Further recommendations:
- Higher timeframe context: TPO or volume profile indicators can be used to gain an even better overview.
- Late session trading: Entries later in the session, such as during the 3rd hour of the NY session, offer better analysis and follow-through on setups.
- Entry confirmation: Momentum indicators like VWAP, Supertrend, or EMA are helpful for increasing precision. Additionally, tracking lower timeframe fakeouts can provide powerful confluence. To track those the TrendPredator Fakeout Highlighter (FO), that has been specifically developed for this can be of great help:
Limitations:
Data availability using TradingView has its limitations. The indicator leverages only the real-time data available for the specific timeframe being used. This means it cannot access data from timeframes lower than the one displayed on the chart. For example, if you are on a daily chart, it cannot use H8 data. Additionally, on very low timeframes, the historical availability of data might be limited, making higher timeframe signals unreliable.
To address this, the indicator automatically hides the affected columns in these specific situations, preventing false signals.

Bollinger Bands MTF & Kalman Filter | Flux Charts📈 Multi-Timeframe Kalman Filtered Bollinger Bands Indicator
Introducing our MTF Kalman Filtered Bollinger Bands – a powerful multi-timeframe Bollinger Bands (BB) indicator enhanced with Kalman filtering for superior smoothing and trend analysis. This indicator dynamically adapts Bollinger Bands across multiple timeframes while incorporating volume-based gradient transparency to highlight significant price movements. This indicator is better optimized for lower timeframes.
❓ How to Interpret the Bands & Volume Gradient:
Our indicator combines Lower Timeframe (LTF) and Higher Timeframe (HTF) Bollinger Bands to provide a comprehensive trend analysis. It applies Kalman filtering to the LTF bands, ensuring smoother, noise-reduced signals. The color gradient and relative volume-based transparency offer deeper insights into price strength.
🔹 LTF Bollinger Bands: Shorter-period bands filtered with a Kalman smoothing algorithm, reducing lag and noise.
🔹 HTF Bollinger Bands: Traditional Bollinger Bands plotted on a higher timeframe, offering macro trend analysis.
🔹 Volume Gradient Transparency: The bands adjust their opacity based on relative buy/sell volume, allowing traders to assess momentum strength.
📌 How Does It Work?
1️⃣ Multi-Timeframe Bollinger Bands Calculation
The LTF BB uses Kalman filtering for a smoother price representation, helping to reduce false signals.
The HTF BB is EMA-smoothed for improved trend clarity.
2️⃣ Adaptive Gradient Transparency
The opacity of the fill color between the bands is determined by relative buy/sell volume.
Higher buy volume = stronger bullish signal (greener bands).
Higher sell volume = stronger bearish signal (redder bands).
3️⃣ Dynamic Trend Signals & Breakouts
Buy Signal: When price breaks below the HTF lower band and LTF bands start rising.
Sell Signal: When price breaks above the HTF upper band and LTF bands start falling.
⚙️ Settings & Customization:
🛠 LTF and HTF Bollinger Bands Settings:
Multiplier: The multiplier applied to the BB to determine the upper and lower bands
Length: Define the number of bars determines the BB calculations.
Custom Timeframe Selection: Choose from predefined options (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, etc).
🎨 Gradient & Transparency Settings:
Bullish/Bearish Color Options: Customize colors for uptrend and downtrend conditions.
Max & Min Opacity: Adjust the transparency levels based on volume intensity.
Solid vs. Gradient Mode: Choose between a gradient fill or a solid color mode for clarity.

Breakout and Retest Signals [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script detects breakout and retest signals by identifying key pivot points in price action and analyzing their relationship with historical swing highs and lows. It highlights breakout structures using ATR-based tolerance levels and volume analysis to confirm potential trend continuations or reversals. The script marks significant price levels with dynamic boxes and dashed lines to help traders visualize breakout and retest areas effectively.
CONCEPTS
The script relies on pivot point analysis, a technique used to identify significant price levels where the market has previously reversed. It dynamically tracks a set number of recent swing highs and lows, allowing traders to see if the price is revisiting a previously significant level. The concept of breakouts and retests is widely used in technical analysis to determine potential entry points. A breakout occurs when the price moves beyond a resistance or support level, and a retest happens when the price returns to test that level before continuing in the breakout direction. This script enhances that analysis by incorporating ATR-based tolerance levels, ensuring that price zones are not too large.
FEATURES
Breakout and Retest Markings : Highlights breakout and retest areas with shaded boxes, allowing traders to visualize where price action is confirming key levels.
Volume Delta and Ratio : Analyzes volume at breakout levels to gauge the strength of the move, displaying volume delta information for additional context. The script also displays the ratio of selling to buying at the retest along traders to make better judgement on their entries.
Multi-Timeframe Adaptability : Dynamically adjusts volume analysis to align with the appropriate lower timeframe, ensuring reliable volume comparisons.
Alerts for Breakout and Retest Events : Traders can receive real-time notifications when bullish or bearish breakout retests are detected.
USAGE
This script is best suited for traders looking to identify strong breakout and retest setups across different timeframes. Users can customize the pivot detection period and swing point memory to adjust sensitivity based on their trading style. The ATR length and multiplier allow further refinement of breakout tolerance, reducing noise in volatile markets. The breakout zones are displayed as shaded boxes, where traders can assess whether a price retest is occurring under favorable conditions. Alerts can be set to notify traders of potential trade opportunities.
