Auto Harmonic Patterns [Trader-Alex])This indicator is a sophisticated technical analysis tool designed to automate the identification of Harmonic Patterns across financial markets. By utilizing a multi-layered scanning engine, it detects valid geometric structures in price action, helping traders identify high-probability reversal zones (PRZ) with precision.
Whether you are a scalper or a swing trader, this tool streamlines the complex process of measuring Fibonacci ratios, allowing you to focus on execution rather than manual drawing.
Key Features
Multi-Scale Scanning Engine: The indicator runs 5 independent scanning groups simultaneously. This allows it to detect patterns across different market distinct market cycles (micro-structures to macro-trends) within a single timeframe.
Comprehensive Pattern Support: Automatically recognizes a wide range of classic and modern harmonic patterns, including:
Gartley
Bat & Alt Bat
Butterfly
Crab & Deep Crab
Shark
Cypher
Predictive PRZ Technology (Potential Patterns): Unlike standard indicators that only show completed patterns, this tool projects "Potential Patterns" in real-time. It calculates the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ) based on converging Fibonacci projections, giving you a clear visual of where the D-point (Entry) is likely to form before price arrives.
Smart Filtering & Optimization: To maintain a clean chart, the indicator includes an intelligent filtering system. If multiple patterns are detected in the same area, it automatically evaluates the geometry and risk-to-reward ratio to display only the most optimal setup.
Integrated Trade Management: For every valid pattern, the indicator automatically plots:
Entry Level: The optimal completion point.
Stop Loss (SL): Calculated based on invalidation structures.
Take Profit (TP1 & TP2): Based on standard harmonic retracement targets.
Visual Clarity: Distinguishes between Bullish (Green/Blue tones) and Bearish (Red/Orange tones) setups. Successful historical patterns and currently developing patterns are visually distinct for easy back-testing and live trading.
Disclaimer This tool is for educational and informational purposes only. Trading financial markets involves risk. Past performance of harmonic patterns does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management.

Session Sweep Strategy V3Johannes Spezial FVG Indikator :-) zur erkennung von FVG zu definierbaren Sessionzeiten.
NY LONDON LUNCH AUTO**NY London Lunch Auto** is a precision session-anchor indicator designed for traders who focus on institutional timing and liquidity behavior.
This script automatically marks the **high and low of three key 15-minute New York session candles**:
• **3:00 AM NY** — London session expansion
• **8:00 AM NY** — New York open / kill zone
• **2:00 PM NY** — NY lunch / power hour transition
Each time one of these candles prints on the **15-minute chart**, the script captures its exact high and low and extends them forward as horizontal levels.
The levels remain **locked and unchanged** until the next key session candle appears, ensuring clean, non-repainting reference zones.
### Key Features
• Works **exclusively on the 15-minute timeframe**
• Automatically updates at **3AM, 8AM, and 2PM NY time**
• Levels stay fixed — no drifting or recalculation
• Clean, minimal design with customizable colors
• Ideal for liquidity sweeps, displacement, and ICT-style execution models
This indicator is built for traders who want **clarity, patience, and structure**, not clutter. It pairs seamlessly with liquidity sweep, displacement, and fair value gap strategies.
Sustained 200 SMA Cross (Locked to Daily)For individuals looking to track trend changes against the 200 day simple moving average. We are measuring 5 consecutive days changing from the above or below the 200 day SMA as a flag for a potential shift in trend.

Displacement## Displacement Indicator (Institutional Momentum Filter)
This indicator highlights **true price displacement** — candles where price moves with **abnormal force relative to recent volatility**.
It is designed to help traders distinguish **real momentum** from normal market noise.
Displacement often precedes:
- Breaks of structure
- Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
- Strong continuation or meaningful pullbacks
This tool focuses on **confirmation**, not prediction.
---
### 🔍 How Displacement Is Defined
A candle is marked as *displacement* only when **all conditions are met**:
• Candle body is larger than a multiple of ATR (volatility-adjusted)
• Candle body makes up a high percentage of the full candle (strong close)
• Directional conviction (bullish or bearish close)
This filters out:
- Small or average candles
- Wick-heavy indecision
- Low-quality breakouts
---
### 🎯 What This Indicator Is Best Used For
✔ Confirming impulsive moves
✔ Validating structure breaks
✔ Anchoring Fair Value Gaps
✔ Filtering low-probability setups
✔ Identifying institutional participation
Works best on **M5, M15, and H1**, especially during **London and NY sessions**.
---
### ⚠️ Important Notes
• This is **not** a buy/sell signal by itself
• Best used with trend, structure, or liquidity context
• Not designed for ranging or low-volatility markets
Think of this indicator as a **momentum truth filter** —
if displacement is missing, conviction is likely missing too.
---
### ⚙️ Inputs Explained
• ATR Length – defines normal volatility
• ATR Multiplier – how aggressive displacement must be
• Minimum Body % – ensures strong candle closes
All inputs are adjustable to fit different markets and styles.
---
### 🧠 Philosophy
Displacement reflects **commitment**, not anticipation.
This tool helps you wait for **proof**, not hope.
---
If you want, I can:
- Tighten this for **ICT-style language**
- Rewrite for **beginner clarity**
- Add a **“How I personally use it”** section
- Optimize it for **TradingView algorithm visibility**
**Tell me which you want changed.**
SCOTTGO - RVOL Bull/Bear Painter (Real-Time) SCOTTGO - RVOL Bull/Bear Painter (Real-Time Momentum Detection)
📌Overview
The RVOL Bull/Bear Painter is a Pine Script indicator designed to instantly highlight high-momentum candles driven by significant Relative Volume (RVOL).
It provides a clear visual signal (bar color, shape, and label) when a candle's volume exceeds its average by a user-defined threshold, confirming strong bullish or bearish interest in real-time. This helps traders quickly identify potential institutional accumulation/distribution or breakout/breakdown attempts.
✨ Key Features
Relative Volume (RVOL) Calculation: Automatically calculates the ratio of the current bar's volume to its moving average (SMA or EMA) over a customizable lookback period.
Momentum Confirmation: Paints the candle green (bullish) or red (bearish) only when both price direction and high RVOL criteria are met.
Real-Time Detection: Uses a plotshape method to display the signal triangle as soon as the RVOL and direction conditions are met on the currently forming candle, aiming for faster alerts than bar-close coloring.
Customizable Threshold: Easily adjust the RVOL multiplier (e.g., 1.5x, 2.0x, 3.0x) to filter out noise and only focus on truly significant volume events.
Labels and Alerts: Displays a volume multiplier label (e.g., BULL 2.55x) and includes pre-configured alert conditions for automated notifications.
🛠️ How to Use It
1. Identify High-Conviction Moves
Look for the painted candles and the corresponding labels. A candle painted green with a BULL label (e.g., BULL 2.5x) indicates that buyers stepped in with 2.5 times the typical volume to drive the price higher.
2. Configure Your Sensitivity
The power of the script lies in customizing the inputs:
RVOL Lookback Period: Determines the length of the volume moving average.
Shorter periods (e.g., 9-20) make the indicator more reactive to recent volume changes.
Longer periods (e.g., 50-200) require a much larger volume spike to trigger a signal.
RVOL Threshold: This is the multiplier.
Lower values (e.g., 1.5) will generate more signals.
Higher values (e.g., 3.0) will generate fewer, but generally higher-conviction, signals.
3. Set Up Alerts
Use the pre-configured alert conditions (Bullish RVOL Signal and Bearish RVOL Signal) in TradingView's alert menu. Crucially, set the alert frequency to "Once per bar" or "Once per minute" to receive notifications as soon as the high RVOL event occurs, without waiting for the bar to close.
Raeinex Momentum Liquidity IndexEntry arrow signals with volumetric momentum (buying and selling pressure) and the possibility to use all entry signals as liquidity area for price retest.
PFA_PahadiPFA Pahadi Indicator
Market Structure through Swing Triangles
What is the PFA Pahadi Indicator?
The **PFA Pahadi Indicator** is a *price-structure visualization tool* that converts raw market movement into a series of **connected swing triangles**. By linking **Pivot Low → Pivot High → Pivot Low** and additionally connecting the **bases (Low → Low)**, the indicator visually resembles a *mountain (pahadi) range*—hence the name.
It focuses purely on **market structure**, not prediction, helping traders and analysts understand how price is *actually climbing, resting, and declining* over time.
Key Benefits
• Clear Market Structure
The indicator highlights **higher highs, higher lows, lower highs, and lower lows** in a clean, uncluttered way, making trend identification intuitive even on higher timeframes.
• Noise Reduction
By relying only on **confirmed pivots**, minor fluctuations are filtered out. This helps traders avoid reacting to short-term volatility and focus on meaningful swings.
• Visual Trend Strength Assessment
The *slope and shape* of the triangles reveal whether the trend is:
* Expanding (strong trend)
* Contracting (distribution / accumulation)
* Flattening (range / base building)
• Excellent for Positional & Swing Trading
Works particularly well on **weekly and daily charts**, where price structure matters more than intraday noise.
• No Repainting
All lines are drawn only after pivot confirmation. Once plotted, the structure does **not change retroactively**, ensuring analytical integrity.
• Complements Moving Averages & Volume
When combined with long-term averages or volume trends, the PFA Pahadi Indicator helps identify:
* Healthy pullbacks
* Structural breakdowns
* Failed rallies
Practical Use-Cases
• Trend Continuation Analysis
Higher base lines (Low → Low) indicate sustained accumulation and trend continuation.
• Structural Weakness Detection
Flattening or declining bases despite new highs may indicate **distribution** or **trend exhaustion**.
• Long-Term Support Mapping
The connected bases often act as *dynamic structural support zones* rather than exact price levels.
Limitations
• Not a Timing Indicator
The PFA Pahadi Indicator does **not provide entry or exit signals** on its own. It is a *context tool*, not a trigger.
• Lag Due to Confirmation
Because pivots require confirmation, the structure appears **after the move has occurred**. This is intentional for accuracy but unsuitable for scalping.
• Sensitive to Pivot Length Settings
Short pivot lengths may create too many triangles; longer lengths may miss smaller but tradable swings.
• Works Best in Trending Markets
In sideways or choppy conditions, the structure may appear flat and less informative.
Disclaimer
The PFA Pahadi Indicator is a market structure visualization tool and does not constitute investment advice, trading recommendations, or a guarantee of future performance. It is designed for educational and analytical purposes only.
All market decisions should be taken in conjunction with other tools such as volume analysis, risk management rules, broader market context, and individual financial suitability. Past price structures do not ensure future outcomes. Users are advised to validate the indicator across multiple securities and timeframes before applying it in live trading.
Philosophy Behind the Name
Markets don’t move in straight lines. They climb, pause, retrace, and climb again—just like a pahadi path. This indicator simply helps you see that path clearly.

S&P 500: 300-Day Trend FollowerSIMPLE STRAT FOR MACRO ETFs
The 300-day Moving Average is a very slow, long-term filter.
Pros: It keeps you in the market during massive bull runs (like 2013-2019) without shaking you out on minor dips.
Cons: It is slow to react. If the market crashes fast (like COVID in 2020), price might drop 15-20% before it crosses the line and tells you to sell.
Box Theory StrategyHere is an explanation of the Box Theory trading strategy.
The Core Philosophy
This strategy is based on the idea that the market is a battle between buyers and sellers, and that these groups often defend the same price levels they used previously. Instead of trying to predict every move, this method focuses on trading only at the "extremes" where the probabilities are highest, while avoiding the middle of the chart where price action is random.
1. The Setup: Drawing the Box
To use this strategy, you must define the "playing field" for the day before you take any trades.
Top of the Box: Draw a line at the Previous Day’s High.
Bottom of the Box: Draw a line at the Previous Day’s Low.
Center Line: Draw a line roughly in the middle of these two points.
This box represents the established range where the market recently found value.
2. The Three Zones & Rules
Once the box is drawn, the chart is divided into three zones. Each zone dictates a specific action.
Zone 1: The Top (Resistance / Sell Zone)
What it represents: This is where sellers previously stepped in and pushed the price down. It is a known area of supply.
The Rule: NO BUYING.
If the price rallies to this level, you should look for Short/Sell opportunities.
Why? Buying here means purchasing at a price that was previously rejected. The probability of a reversal (price going down) is high.
Zone 2: The Bottom (Support / Buy Zone)
What it represents: This is where buyers previously stepped in and pushed the price up. It is a known area of demand.
The Rule: NO SELLING.
If the price drops to this level, you should look for Long/Buy opportunities.
Why? Selling here means shorting into support. The probability of a bounce (price going up) is high.
Zone 3: The Middle (Indecision Zone)
What it represents: This is the area of noise and confusion. Neither buyers nor sellers have clear control here.
The Rule: DO NOT TRADE.
Why? In the middle of the range, the odds of the price going up or down are roughly 50/50. Trading here is considered gambling because you do not have a statistical edge.
3. Execution: How to Trade
The Entry
Short Setup: Wait for the price to touch or slightly pierce the Top of the Box. Enter a short position when you see the price failing to break out (e.g., leaving a wick and closing back inside the box).
Long Setup: Wait for the price to touch or slightly pierce the Bottom of the Box. Enter a long position when you see the price failing to break down (e.g., bouncing off the level).
Stop Loss (Risk Management)
This strategy offers a very clear invalidation point.
For Shorts: Place your Stop Loss just above the box.
For Longs: Place your Stop Loss just below the box.
Logic: If the price clearly breaks out of the box, the range is broken, and you want to exit the trade immediately with a small loss.
Take Profit (Targets)
First Target: The Center Line. This is a safe place to take some profit or move your stop loss to breakeven.
Main Target: The opposite side of the box (e.g., if you sold at the top, target the bottom).
4. Handling Gaps (The "Cheater Box")
If the market opens significantly higher or lower than the previous day's range (a large gap), the original box may be too far away to be useful.
Adjustment: In this scenario, you can draw a new box using the highest and lowest price points of the current trading session so far.
Once this new range is established, apply the same rules: Sell the high, Buy the low, and avoid the middle.
Monday Tuesday Initial Balance and Range ProjectionsThis indicator is based on Stacey Burke’s definition of Initial Balance, where Monday and Tuesday together establish the Initial Balance for the trading week.
The high and low formed across Monday and Tuesday define the Initial Balance. Once Tuesday closes, this range is locked in and used as a structural reference for the remainder of the week.
What the Indicator Displays
Initial Balance High (Monday–Tuesday high)
Initial Balance Low (Monday–Tuesday low)
Optional midpoint
Optional range projections:
0.5 range extension to the upside/downside
1.0 range extension to the upside/downside
These extensions are calculated using the Monday–Tuesday range, projected above the Initial Balance High.
Why This Matters
In a large percentage of weeks:
The weekly high or low is established by Monday or Tuesday
One side of the Initial Balance tends to hold, while the other may break and trend
The range provides context for high-probability setups, not trade signals
Price will typically:
Reject the Initial Balance extremes (reversal / three-day setup)
Break and hold outside the balance (trend week)
Rotate within the balance (consolidation)
How to Use It
This tool is designed for context and structure, supporting:
Three Day Setups
First Green / First Red Days
False breaks
Weekly pump-and-dump / dump-and-pump scenarios
Trade execution should still be aligned with session timing, 15-minute structure, price action confirmation, and news awareness.
