SCE GANN PredictionsThis is a script designed to give an insight on price direction from being above or below a GANN Value.
What Are GANN Waves?
The SCE GANN Predictions indicator is inspired by the work of W.D. Gann, a renowned trader who believed that price movements follow geometric and mathematical patterns. GANN waves use past price behavior—specifically momentum or "velocity"—to forecast where prices might head next.
How Does the Indicator Work?
Calculating Velocity
The script starts by measuring the "velocity" of price movement over a user-defined lookback period (denoted as n). This velocity is the average difference between the close and open prices over n bars. Think of it as the market’s speed in a given direction.
Predicting the Future Price
Using this velocity, the indicator estimates a future price after a specific time horizon—calculated as n + n*2 bars into the future (e.g., if n = 15, it predicts 45 bars ahead). It scales the velocity by a ratio (Gr) to determine the "end price." This is the raw GANN prediction.
Optimizing the Ratio (Gr)
The key to a good prediction is finding the right Gr. The script tests a range of Gr values (from Gr_min to Gr_max, stepping by Gr_step) and evaluates each one by calculating the sum of squared errors (SSE) between the predicted prices and the actual historical close prices. The Gr with the lowest SSE is deemed "optimal" and used for the final prediction.
Smoothing with an SMA
The raw GANN prediction is then smoothed using a simple moving average (SMA) over the lookback period (n). This SMA is plotted on your chart, serving as a dynamic trend line. The plot’s color changes based on the current price: teal if the close is above the SMA (bullish), and red if below (bearish).
Visuals
This example shows how the value explains price strength and changes color. When the price is above the line, and it’s green, we’re showing an up trend. The opposite is when the price is below the line, and it’s red, showing a down trend.
We can see that there may be moments where price drops under the value for just that one bar.
In scenarios with sideways price action, even though the price crosses, there is no follow through. This is a shortcoming of the overall concept.
Customizable Inputs
Timeframe: Choose the timeframe for analysis (default is 2 minutes).
Show GANN Wave: Toggle the GANN SMA plot on or off (default is true).
Lookback Period (Gn): Set the number of bars for velocity and SMA calculations (default is 15).
Min Ratio (Gr_min): The lower bound for the Gr optimization (default is 0.05).
Max Ratio (Gr_max): The upper bound for Gr (default is 0.2).
Step for Gr (Gr_step): The increment for testing Gr values (default is 0.01).
How to Use SCE GANN Predictions
Trend Direction
The colored SMA provides a quick visual cue. Teal suggests an uptrend, while red hints at a downtrend. Use this to align your trades with the broader momentum.
Crossover Signals
Watch for the close price crossing the GANN SMA. A move above could signal a buy opportunity, while a drop below might indicate a sell. Combine this with other indicators for confirmation.
Fine-Tuning
Experiment with the lookback period (Gn) and Gr range to optimize for your market. Shorter lookbacks might suit fast-moving assets, while longer ones could work for slower trends.
Like any technical tool, SCE GANN Predictions isn’t a crystal ball. It’s based on historical data and mathematical assumptions, so it won’t always be spot-on.
Small Range Stocks (ATR 7)This indicator identifies stocks with a small daily range relative to their ATR(7). It plots a small green tick below candles where the daily range is ≤ 0.9 × ATR(7), helping traders spot consolidation zones for potential breakouts.
SMA7 Tail Reversal📌 Description:
The SMA7 Tail Reversal indicator is designed to identify potential counter-trend trading opportunities by checking if candle wicks (tails) respect a key moving average level (SMA7).
This indicator highlights price action where candles are clearly separated from the moving average, suggesting a possible reversal or temporary correction.
📌 How It Works:
Moving Average Calculation:
Calculates a simple moving average (SMA) of length 7 to act as the primary trend filter.
Candle Classification:
Bullish Candle: A candle where the closing price is higher than the opening price, with a short upper wick.
Bearish Candle: A candle where the closing price is lower than the opening price, with a short lower wick.
Conditions for Coloring Candles:
Long Condition (Green Candle):
High & Low are both below the SMA7 line.
Volume is above the 20-period average.
A bullish candle is detected.
Short Condition (Red Candle):
High & Low are both above the SMA7 line.
Volume is above the 20-period average.
A bearish candle is detected.
📌 Visual Representation:
Green Candles: Potential long signals when price action stays below the SMA7 line.
Red Candles: Potential short signals when price action stays above the SMA7 line.
Yellow Line: SMA7, used as the dynamic threshold for signal generation.
📌 Usage:
Best applied to volatile markets with clear trends.
Effective in detecting counter-trend opportunities where price diverges from the SMA7 line.
Works well with additional confirmation tools for better accuracy.

Supply & Demand Zones
_____________________________________________________________________
Supply and Demand Zones
This indicator displays valid Supply and Demand zones on any chart and timeframe, using dynamically updating visuals. Users can see the moment that zones become validated, used, and then invalidated during live sessions. It is sleek, lightweight, and offers a feature-rich settings panel that allows customization of how each element appears and functions. Zones can enhance the probability of successful trades by locating areas that are most likely to contain resting orders of Supply or Demand, which are needed for price reversals.
Disclaimer
____________________
Like all indicators, this can be a valuable tool when incorporated into a comprehensive, risk-based trading system.
Supply and Demand is not the same thing as Support and Resistance.
Trading based on price hitting a zone without understanding which zones are of higher quality and which are of lower quality (only discernible with a trained human eye) will yield poor results.
Supply and Demand works well as a system and even better when added to an existing one. However, like all effective trading techniques, it requires diligent study, practice, and repetition to become proficient. This is an indicator for use with Supply and Demand concepts, not a replacement for learning them.
Features
____________________
Once a valid candle sequence is confirmed, a box will appear that displays the zone over the precise zone range. At 50% zone penetration, a zone becomes used , and at 100% it becomes invalidated . Each of these zone classifications changes the behavior of the zone on the chart immediately. The settings panel offers custom colors for Supply , Demand , Used , and Invalidated zone types.
Borders : The subtle border colors can be changed or hidden.
Boxes or Bases : Advanced users can opt to hide zone boxes and instead display small, subtle tags over base candle groups. This allows for more customizable selection over what is displayed and how.
Max Zones and Hide Invalidated :
There are limitations on how many objects TradingView allows at once. Because of this, once zones go from used to invalidated , they are hidden (deleted) by default. This allows the zones index to be allocated to display more valid , usable zones instead. If a user prefers to keep invalidated zones visible, they can be enabled; however, this will result in showing more recent zones for fewer historical zones.
All zones share one pool, so if you allow fifty max zones, forty-five might be supply while five might be demand on a big sell-off trend. You will always see the most recent zones, regardless of type or status.
It’s up to you how much clutter you want on your screen and how much improved load time you want - but once loaded, zone creation and function are always instantaneous.
Load Time
____________________
Load time refers to the time it takes from when you switch tickers or timeframes before the zones are displayed initially. There is zero lag in the dynamic function and minimal load time, regardless of settings. However, if you are a fine-tuner or multi-screener, the number of Max Zones displayed is the only major variable affecting load time.
I run everything at Max when I develop. When I trade, I run mine at 25 max zones because I change timeframes often and want a very quick display of zones when I do. I have invalidated hidden, and simply enable it if I want to check an old zone. This gives me more zones than I need and reduces the load time to right where I like it.
Thresholds
____________________
It is recommended to leave these as the default.
Base Body Threshold : Determines the maximum ratio of a candle’s body to wick before invalidation. Default (50% or 0.5). A higher number loosens thresholds, resulting in more zones being displayed.
Unrequire 2nd FT if LO is Strong & Strength Multiplier :
The standard logic sequence requires two Follow-Through candles. Under some strong price movement, Leg-Out candles can make an explosive directional move from a base, making a convincing argument for supply and demand perfectly at work, if not for a single Follow-Through candle instead of two.
By enabling this feature, you can tell the script to ignore second Follow-Through candles, if and only if, the Leg-Out candle's range is (Strength) X the base range. exceeds the range of the Base by a factor of X (Strength). ie: At 5x, this would require a Leg-Out range to be 500% the range of the Base.
If enabled and the Leg-Out is not strong enough, the default logic kicks in, and a second follow-through candle will validate the zone as per usual. This loosens thresholds overall and should result in more zones.
Recommended Usage
____________________
Form a thesis using your primary trend trading system (eg: Elliott Wave, Structure Reversal, TheStrat, et al) to identify locations of a pullback for a long or short entry.
Identify a pullback area using your system, then use this indicator to find a high-quality zone on your chosen timeframe.
Once located, draw your own channel over the indicator's zone box. Start on 1m, check for zones, 2m, 3m, and so on. When you see a zone you like, recreate it; thus, when finished, you can see every timeframe’s highest-quality zones that you created, regardless of what timeframe you switch to. Tip: Be selective
To make the process faster, save a channel design in settings for “Demand” and one for “Supply”, then you can quickly get through this process in less than a minute with practice.
Optional: Use additional methods (eg: Fibonacci retracements, Elliott Wave Theory, Anchored VWAPs) to find congruent confirmation.
Version 1.0
____________________
No known bugs remain from the closed beta.
In Development
____________________
Powerful combination zones occur when standard zone sequences are extended with additional levels of demand or supply by adding more conditionals to the state machine logic. Got this mostly working in a dev version and it adds minimal extra resources. Set aside to polish a clean standard 1.0 for release first, but now displaying these extended zones is my top priority for next version.
MTF support is essentially working in a dev copy, but adds resources. Not sure if it is in the spirit of price action being the primary focus of a chart for serious traders, rather than indicators. If there is demand for it, I'll consider it.
Additional Threshold Settings

ICT Order Blocks v2 (Debug)Josh has a very large PP xD
Understanding Order Blocks (OBs) - The ICT Perspective
This document delves into the concept of Order Blocks (OBs) from the perspective of the ICT methodology. It outlines what OBs are, their significance in trading, and how the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" indicator functions to identify and visualize these critical price levels. By understanding OBs, traders can better navigate market movements and make informed decisions based on institutional trading behavior.
What is an Order Block (OB)?
Within ICT methodology, an Order Block represents a specific price candle where significant buying or selling interest from institutions (Smart Money) is believed to have occurred. They are potential areas where price might return and react.
Bullish Order Block: Typically the last down-closing candle before a strong, impulsive upward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have absorbed selling pressure and initiated long positions here.
Bearish Order Block: Typically the last up-closing candle before a strong, impulsive downward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have distributed long positions or initiated short positions here.
Why are OBs Significant (ICT View)?
Institutional Footprint: They mark potential zones of large order execution.
Support/Resistance: Unmitigated OBs can act as sensitive price levels where reactions are expected. Bullish OBs may provide support; Bearish OBs may provide resistance.
Origin of Moves: They often mark the origin point of significant price swings.
Liquidity Engineering: Institutions might drive price back to OBs to mitigate earlier positions or to engineer liquidity before continuing a move.
Common Refinements
ICT often emphasizes higher probability OBs that are associated with:
Displacement: The move away from the OB is sharp and decisive.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): An FVG forming immediately after the OB strengthens its validity.
OB Mitigation: This refers to price returning to the level of the Order Block after its formation. Price might react at the edge (proximal line) or the 50% level (mean threshold) of the OB. An OB is often considered fully mitigated or invalidated if price trades decisively through its entire range, especially with a candle body closing beyond it.
How the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" Indicator Works
This indicator automates the detection and visualization of the most recent unmitigated Order Block of each type (Bullish/Bearish), incorporating optional filters.
Detection:
It looks at the relationship between the candle two bars ago ( ), the previous candle ( ), and potentially the current candle ( ).
Bullish OB: Identifies if candle was a down-close (close < open ) AND candle broke above the high of candle (high > high ).
Bearish OB: Identifies if candle was an up-close (close > open ) AND candle broke below the low of candle (low < low ).
Accuracy Filters (Optional Inputs):
These filters help identify potentially higher-probability OBs:
Require Fair Value Gap (FVG)?: If enabled, the indicator checks if an FVG formed immediately after the OB candle ( ). Specifically, it looks for a gap between candle and candle (low > high for Bullish OB confirmation, high < low for Bearish).
Require Strong Close Breakout?: If enabled, it requires the breakout candle ( ) to close beyond the range of the OB candle ( ). (close > high for Bullish, close < low for Bearish). This suggests stronger confirmation.
Storing the Most Recent OB:
When an OB is detected and passes any enabled filters, its details (high, low, formation bar index) are stored. Crucially, this indicator only tracks the single most recent valid unmitigated OB of each type (one Bullish, one Bearish) using var variables. If a newer valid OB forms, it replaces the previously stored one.
Drawing Boxes:
If a valid Bullish OB is being tracked (and Show Bullish OBs is enabled), it draws a box (box.new) using the high and low of the identified OB candle ( ). The same process applies to Bearish OBs (Show Bearish OBs enabled). The boxes automatically extend to the right (extend.right) and their right edge is updated on each new bar (box.set_right) until they are mitigated. Labels ("Bull OB" / "Bear OB") are displayed inside the boxes.
Mitigation & Box Deletion:
The indicator checks if the current closing price (close ) has moved entirely beyond the range of the tracked OB.
Mitigation Rule Used: A Bullish OB is considered mitigated if close < bull_ob_low. A Bearish OB is considered mitigated if close > bear_ob_high. Once an OB is marked as mitigated, the indicator stops tracking it and its corresponding box is automatically deleted (box.delete) from the chart.
This indicator provides a dynamic visualization of the most recent, potentially significant Order Blocks that meet the specified criteria, helping traders identify key areas of interest based on ICT principles.

malama's volume spikeThe "malama's volume spike" indicator identifies and highlights bars where the trading volume significantly exceeds the average, signaling potential market interest or activity. It calculates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the volume over a user-defined period and compares the current volume against this average multiplied by a specified threshold factor. Bars where the volume surpasses this threshold are colored yellow on the chart, providing a visual cue for traders to identify potential trading opportunities.
How It Works:
Volume Moving Average (SMA): The indicator computes the SMA of the volume over a period defined by the user (default is 20 bars).
Threshold Calculation: It multiplies the SMA by a user-defined factor (default is 2.0) to set the volume spike threshold.
Volume Spike Detection: If the current volume exceeds this threshold, the corresponding bar is highlighted in yellow.
Usage:
Volume MA Length: Adjust this parameter to set the period over which the volume SMA is calculated. A shorter length responds more quickly to recent volume changes, while a longer length smooths out short-term fluctuations.
Volume Threshold Factor: Modify this factor to set the sensitivity of the volume spike detection. A lower value will highlight more bars, while a higher value will highlight fewer, more significant spikes.
PowerZone Trading StrategyExplanation of the PowerZone Trading Strategy for Your Users
The PowerZone Trading Strategy is an automated trading strategy that detects strong price movements (called "PowerZones") and generates signals to enter a long (buy) or short (sell) position, complete with predefined take profit and stop loss levels. Here’s how it works, step by step:
1. What is a PowerZone?
A "PowerZone" (PZ) is a zone on the chart where the price has shown a significant and consistent movement over a specific number of candles (bars). There are two types:
Bullish PowerZone (Bullish PZ): Occurs when the price rises consistently over several candles after an initial bearish candle.
Bearish PowerZone (Bearish PZ): Occurs when the price falls consistently over several candles after an initial bullish candle.
The code analyzes:
A set number of candles (e.g., 5, adjustable via "Periods").
A minimum percentage move (adjustable via "Min % Move for PowerZone") to qualify as a strong zone.
Whether to use the full candle range (highs and lows) or just open/close prices (toggle with "Use Full Range ").
2. How Does It Detect PowerZones?
Bullish PowerZone:
Looks for an initial bearish candle (close below open).
Checks that the next candles (e.g., 5) are all bullish (close above open).
Ensures the total price movement exceeds the minimum percentage set.
Defines a range: from the high (or open) to the low of the initial candle.
Bearish PowerZone:
Looks for an initial bullish candle (close above open).
Checks that the next candles are all bearish (close below open).
Ensures the total price movement exceeds the minimum percentage.
Defines a range: from the high to the low (or close) of the initial candle.
These zones are drawn on the chart with lines: green or white for bullish, red or blue for bearish, depending on the color scheme ("DARK" or "BRIGHT").
3. When Does It Enter a Trade?
The strategy waits for a breakout from the PowerZone range to enter a trade:
Buy (Long): When the price breaks above the high of a Bullish PowerZone.
Sell (Short): When the price breaks below the low of a Bearish PowerZone.
The position size is set to 100% of available equity (adjustable in the code).
4. Take Profit and Stop Loss
Take Profit (TP): Calculated as a multiple (adjustable via "Take Profit Factor," default 1.5) of the PowerZone height. For example:
For a buy, TP = Entry price + (PZ height × 1.5).
For a sell, TP = Entry price - (PZ height × 1.5).
Stop Loss (SL): Calculated as a multiple (adjustable via "Stop Loss Factor," default 1.0) of the PZ height, placed below the range for buys or above for sells.
5. Visualization on the Chart
PowerZones are displayed with lines on the chart (you can hide them with "Show Bullish Channel" or "Show Bearish Channel").
An optional info panel ("Show Info Panel") displays key levels: PZ high and low, TP, and SL.
You can also enable brief documentation on the chart ("Show Documentation") explaining the basic rules.
6. Alerts
The code generates automatic alerts in TradingView:
For a bullish breakout: "Bullish PowerZone Breakout - LONG!"
For a bearish breakdown: "Bearish PowerZone Breakdown - SHORT!"
7. Customization
You can tweak:
The number of candles to detect a PZ ("Periods").
The minimum percentage move ("Min % Move").
Whether to use highs/lows or just open/close ("Use Full Range").
The TP and SL factors.
The color scheme and what elements to display on the chart.
Practical Example
Imagine you set "Periods = 5" and "Min % Move = 2%":
An initial bearish candle appears, followed by 5 consecutive bullish candles.
The total move exceeds 2%.
A Bullish PowerZone is drawn with a high and low.
If the price breaks above the high, you enter a long position with a TP 1.5 times the PZ height and an SL equal to the height below.
The system executes the trade and exits automatically at TP or SL.
Conclusion
This strategy is great for capturing strong price movements after consolidation or momentum zones. It’s automated, visual, and customizable, making it useful for both beginner and advanced traders. Try it out and adjust it to fit your trading style!

TriplePower55%🔴 Bearish Candle (Losing Candle)
🔹 Definition:
A candle that closes below the opening price.
Important condition: the body of the candle must be ≥ 55% of the entire candle's range.
It is automatically colored red on the platform.
🔹 Significance:
Used to identify resistance levels or initiate the Triple Power analysis.
The last valid bearish candle (with a body and that broke a bullish candle) is selected to draw Fibonacci levels.
🔹 How it's handled:
When the price closes above the high of the bearish candle, an upward wave begins.
The indicator draws a blue line at its high and a red line at its low, with the timeframe labeled (e.g., TF: M).
🟢 Bullish Candle (Winning Candle)
🔹 Definition:
A candle that closes above the opening price.
Its body must be ≥ 55% of the total candle's range.
It is automatically colored green on the platform.
🔹 Significance:
Used to identify support levels, or as a reference in extensions or pauses.
The last closed bullish candle is used to draw extension targets if there’s no valid bearish candle.
🔹 How it's handled:
If the price closes below the low of the monthly bullish candle, it signals the start of a strong downward trend.
If the low is not broken, the movement is considered a temporary pause.
The stop level is placed at the low of the last closed bullish candle.
Shaved Candle IdentifierThis script is different because it actually highlights the candle and is not just an icon. It will identify bars that have no wick. Each color represents a different type of candle.
Shaved candles represent major liquidity zones, and tend to get swept in the future.
Shaved candles are useful for spotting reversals and as price targets.
Green is when open = low
Red is when open = high
Blue is when close = high
Orange is when close = low
There is 0 tolerance for any deviation, if the price is 0.001 off, it will not be identified. Only absolutely shaved candles will be identified.

Reversal & Breakout Strategy with ORB### Reversal & Breakout Strategy with ORB
This strategy combines three distinct trading approaches—reversals, trend breakouts, and opening range breakouts (ORB)—into a single, cohesive system. The goal is to capture high-probability setups across different market conditions, leveraging a mashup of technical indicators for confirmation and risk management. Below, I’ll explain why this combination works, how the components interact, and how to use it effectively.
#### Why the Mashup?
- **Reversals**: Identifies overextended moves using RSI (overbought/oversold) and SMA50 crosses, filtered by VWAP and SMA200 trend direction. This targets mean-reversion opportunities in trending markets.
- **Breakouts**: Uses EMA9/EMA20 crossovers with VWAP and SMA200 confirmation to catch momentum-driven trend continuations.
- **Opening Range Breakout (ORB)**: Detects early momentum by breaking the high/low of a user-defined opening range (default: 15 bars) with volume confirmation. This adds a time-based edge, ideal for intraday trading.
The synergy comes from blending these methods: reversals catch pullbacks, breakouts ride trends, and ORB exploits early volatility—all filtered by trend (SMA200) and anchored by VWAP for context.
#### How It Works
1. **Indicators**:
- **EMA9/EMA20**: Fast-moving averages for breakout signals.
- **SMA50**: Medium-term trend filter for reversals.
- **SMA200**: Long-term trend direction to align trades.
- **RSI (14)**: Measures overbought (>70) or oversold (<30) conditions.
- **VWAP**: Acts as a dynamic support/resistance level.
- **ATR (14)**: Sets stop-loss distance (default: 1.5x ATR).
- **Volume**: Confirms ORB breakouts (1.5x average volume of opening range).
2. **Entry Conditions**:
- **Long**: Triggers on reversal (SMA50 cross + RSI < 30 + below VWAP + uptrend), breakout (EMA9 > EMA20 + above VWAP + uptrend), or ORB (break above opening range high + volume).
- **Short**: Triggers on reversal (SMA50 cross + RSI > 70 + above VWAP + downtrend), breakout (EMA9 < EMA20 + below VWAP + downtrend), or ORB (break below opening range low + volume).
3. **Risk Management**:
- Risks 5% of equity per trade (based on the initial capital set in the strategy tester).
- Stop-loss: Based on lowest low/highest high over 7 bars ± 1.5x ATR.
- Targets: Two exits at 1:1 and 1:2 risk:reward (50% of position at each).
- Break-even: Stop moves to entry price after the first target is hit.
4. **Backtesting Settings**:
- Commission: Hardcoded at 0.1% per trade (realistic for most brokers).
- Slippage: Hardcoded at 2 ticks (realistic for most markets).
- Tested on datasets yielding 100+ trades (e.g., 2-min or 5-min charts over months).
#### How to Use It
- **Timeframe**: Works best on intraday (2-min, 5-min) or daily charts. Adjust `Opening Range Bars` (e.g., 15 bars = 30 min on 2-min chart) for your timeframe.
- **Settings**:
- Set your initial equity in the TradingView strategy tester’s "Properties" tab under "Initial Capital" (e.g., $10,000). The script automatically risks 5% of this equity per trade.
- Adjust `Stop Loss ATR Multiplier` or `Risk:Reward Targets` based on your risk tolerance.
- Note that commission (0.1%) and slippage (2 ticks) are fixed in the script for backtesting consistency.
- **Execution**: Enter on signal, monitor plotted stop (red) and targets (green/blue). The strategy supports pyramiding (up to 2 positions) for scaling into trends.
#### Backtesting Notes
Results are realistic with commission (0.1%) and slippage (2 ticks) included. For a sufficient sample, test on volatile instruments (e.g., stocks, forex) over 3-6 months on lower timeframes. The default 1.5x ATR stop may seem wide, but it’s justified to avoid premature exits in volatile markets—feel free to tweak it with justification. The script assumes an initial capital of $10,000 in the strategy tester for the 5% risk calculation (e.g., $500 risk per trade); adjust this in the "Properties" tab as needed.
This mashup isn’t just a random mix; it’s a deliberate fusion of complementary strategies, offering traders flexibility across market phases. Questions? Let me know!
PSP - Precision CandlePSP Precision Spotting Points (PSP) Indicator
The PSP Precision Spotting Points (PSP) Indicator is designed for traders seeking to identify high-probability reversal zones by detecting PSP setups with precision. PSPs are Potential Swing Points that often precede market reversals or significant price reactions. This indicator simplifies the process of spotting these opportunities by highlighting areas of interest based on market structure, correlation imbalances, and wick rejections.
📌 Key Features:
PSP Detection: Accurately identifies Potential Swing Points by scanning for candle patterns that suggest a shift in momentum.
Precision Entry Zones: Marks areas where price is likely to react, offering clear visual cues for optimal trade execution.
Smart Filtering: Filters out low-quality signals using advanced volatility and liquidity analysis.
Wick Confirmation: Validates PSP setups using wick rejections and correlation cracks, enhancing the probability of a successful trade.
Customizable Alerts: Stay informed with real-time notifications when a PSP is detected.
🛠️ How It Works:
Candle Analysis: Scans for specific price action patterns where candle body-to-wick ratios and volatility suggest a Potential Swing Point.
Correlation Cracks: Detects discrepancies between correlated instruments, adding confluence to PSP setups.
POI Alignment: Highlights areas near Points of Interest (POIs) like Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), previous highs/lows, and session kill zones.
Rejection Confirmation: Ensures PSPs are validated through wick-based rejection patterns, minimizing false signals.
