Breaker Blocks + Order Blocks confirm [TradingFinder] BBOB Alert🔵 Introduction
In the realm of technical analysis, various tools and concepts are employed to identify key levels on price charts. These tools assist traders in analyzing market trends with greater precision, enabling them to optimize their trading decisions. Among these tools, the Order Block and Breaker Block hold a significant place, serving as effective instruments for analyzing market structure.
🟣 Order Block
An Order Block refers to zones on a chart where large financial institutions and high-volume traders place their orders. Due to the substantial volume of buy or sell orders in these areas, they are often regarded as pivotal points for potential price reversals or temporary pauses in a trend. Order Blocks are particularly crucial when prices react to these zones after a strong market move, acting as strong support or resistance levels.
🟣 Breaker Block
On the other hand, a Breaker Block refers to areas on a chart that previously functioned as Order Blocks but where the price has managed to break through and continue in the opposite direction. These zones are typically recognized as key points where market trends might shift, helping traders identify potential reversal points in the market.
🟣 Overlapping Block (BBOB)
Now, imagine a scenario where these two essential concepts in technical analysis—Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks—overlap on a chart. Although this overlap is not specifically discussed within the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) trading framework, exploring and utilizing this overlap can provide traders with powerful insights into strong support and resistance zones. The combination of these two robust concepts can highlight critical areas in trading, potentially offering significant advantages in making informed trading decisions.
In this article, we will delve into the concept of this overlap, explaining how to utilize it in trading strategies. Additionally, we will analyze the potential outcomes and benefits of incorporating this concept into your trading decisions.
Bullish Overlapping Block (BBOB) :
Bearish Overlapping Block (BBOB) :
🔵 How to Use
The overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks is a compelling and powerful concept that can help traders identify key levels on the chart with a high probability of success. This overlap is particularly valuable because it combines two well-regarded concepts in technical analysis—zones of high order volume and critical market shifts.
🟣 Here’s how to effectively use this overlap in your trading
1. Dentifying the Overlapping Block : To make the most of the overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks, begin by identifying these zones separately. Order Blocks are areas where price typically reacts and reverses after a strong market move.
Breaker Blocks are areas where a previous Order Block has been breached, and the price continues in the opposite direction. When these two zones overlap on a chart, it’s crucial to pay close attention to this area, as it represents a high-probability reaction zone.
2. Analyzing the Overlapping Block : After identifying the overlap zone, carefully analyze price action within this region. Candlestick patterns and price behavior can provide essential clues.
If the price reaches this overlap zone and strong reversal patterns such as Pin Bars or Engulfing patterns are observed, it’s likely that this zone will act as a pivotal reversal point. In such cases, entering a trade with confidence becomes more feasible.
3. Entering the Trade : When sufficient signs of price reaction are present in the overlap zone, you can proceed to enter the trade. If the overlap zone is within an uptrend and bullish reversal signals are evident, a long position might be appropriate.
Conversely, if the overlap zone is in a downtrend and bearish reversal signals are observed, a short position would be more suitable.
4. Risk Management : One of the most critical aspects of trading in overlap zones is managing risk. To protect your capital, place your stop loss near the lowest point of the Order Block (for buy trades) or the highest point (for sell trades). This approach minimizes potential losses if the overlap zone fails to hold.
5. Price Targets : After entering the trade, set your price targets based on other key levels on the chart. These targets could include other support and resistance zones, Fibonacci levels, or pivot points.

Bearish Overlapping Block :
🟣 Benefits of the Overlapping Block Between Order Block and Breaker Block
1. Enhanced Precision in Identifying Key Levels : The overlap between these two zones usually acts as a highly reliable area for price reactions, increasing the accuracy of identifying entry and exit points.
2. Reduced Trading Risk : Given the high importance of the overlap zone, the likelihood of making incorrect decisions is reduced, contributing to overall lower trading risk.
3. Increased Probability of Success : The overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks combines two powerful concepts, enhancing the likelihood of success in trades, as multiple indicators confirm the importance of the area.
4. Creation of Better Trading Opportunities : Overlap zones often provide traders with more robust trading opportunities, as these areas typically represent strong reversal points in the market.
5. Compatibility with Other Technical Tools : This concept seamlessly integrates with other technical analysis tools such as Fibonacci retracements, trend lines, and chart patterns, offering a more comprehensive market analysis.

Volume DiffusionIndicator Overview
This indicator calculates potential volume (volume) based on the highest and lowest prices within a specified time period and displays it on the chart. This allows you to visually analyze the relationship between price fluctuations and volume.
How to use
Enter set values:.
setlength: Specify the period of time. The default value is 20. The calculation is based on the highest and lowest prices within this period.
sample_interval: Specifies the sampling interval. The default value is 1, sampling is done every bar. This is used to adjust the amount of data.
Display on chart:.
Blue line: highprice_ (highest price during the period).
Red line: Displays the lowprice_ (lowest price in the period).
Green line: Displays the potential volume (Potential_volume). It is the total volume at which the price changed.
Orange/purple step line: Displays volume_cal (calculated volume). This is the calculated volume change based on historical volume.
Interpretation:.
Change in highs and lows: As highs and lows change, the potential volume is updated accordingly. This allows us to track volume changes at key price levels.
volume_cal changes: Track volume changes and analyze how volume changes when prices reach highs and lows.
Reasons why smaller time frames work better
Data Density:.
Smaller timeframes (e.g., 1-minute and 5-minute timeframes) provide more bars, so price fluctuations and volume changes can be observed in detail. This allows the indicator to update more frequently and accurately reflect the relationship between price and volume.
Quick Reaction:.
With shorter time frames, price fluctuations and volume changes are captured more quickly, making the indicator calculations more sensitive. This allows for immediate analysis of short-term volume changes.
High-precision calculations:.
With longer time frames, there is less data to calculate and volume changes may not be fully reflected. With shorter time frames, the relationship between price changes and volume can be more precisely determined.
Cautions
Data volume limitations: Pine Script™ has limitations on the amount of data that can be used. If you are working with data over a long period of time, errors may occur when attempting to process large amounts of data. It is important to set the sampling interval (sample_interval) appropriately to control the amount of data.
Calculation performance: Even when using small time periods, performance can be affected by the complexity of the calculation. Pay attention to the sampling interval and the efficiency of the calculation.
The indicator can be used to better understand the relationship between price fluctuations and volume to help analyze and improve trading strategies. In particular, it allows for more accurate analysis on shorter time frames.
Liquidity tool [Influxum]One of the most widespread concepts that can give you an edge when trading in the markets is liquidity. There are several ways to identify and plot liquidity. This indicator aims to show how liquidity can be plotted entirely objectively, thus laying the foundation for a consistent trading system.
Pivot
One of the ways to identify liquidity is using pivots. Pivots are candles that are locally the highest or the lowest. We identify them using strength, which is a number that determines how many candles to the left and right of the pivot candle are lower for a pivot high and higher for a pivot low. It is important to keep in mind that a pivot candle is only confirmed when the last candle to the right closes. If I have the pivot number set to 10, it means that a pivot high is a candle that has 10 lower candles on the left and 10 lower candles on the right. Only after the 10th candle to the right closes is the pivot candle confirmed as a pivot high. Within this indicator, the liquidity line is drawn at this moment.
Tip for traders:
If you work with liquidity from both lower and higher timeframes, try adding two Liquidity Tool indicators to your chart: set a lower pivot number, for example, 5 for one, and a higher pivot number, for example, 20 for the other. At the same time, adjust the line width for liquidity with a higher pivot number to a higher value. This way, you achieve a combination of liquidity from significant higher timeframe structures and lower timeframe structures.
Gann Swing
The Gann swing is another objective way to mark liquidity in the market. Unlike pivot liquidity, which is based on the highest highs or lowest lows of candles, the Gann swing is based on the highest or lowest closes. We then mark liquidity when the current candle closes above the highest close of the last few candles or below the lowest close of the last few candles. While a pivot high might only show a local extreme in price development, the Gann swing deals with the actual closing of the price. Liquidity points determined by the Gann swing may thus be more indicative of where the price actually wants to go, not just where it was at a particular moment before sharply rebounding (as with pivot liquidity).
Percent Change
One of the most objective ways to identify liquidity is the percentage change in price. We plot liquidity only in places where there has been a sufficiently large swing/significant price movement. This can be particularly relevant for filtering out moments when the price is moving within a narrow range. In such a situation, many pivot highs and lows or Gann swings can occur, which may be only a few pips or fractions of a percent apart. If you set it so that you want liquidity to be plotted only on a swing of 0.1% (for forex, where this is a sufficiently large movement), you can easily filter out moments when the price was moving in a narrow range.
Liquidity Session
For Pivot, Gann, and Percentage liquidity, you have the option to set a trading session. This determines the time period for which you want liquidity to be plotted. You might want to see only the liquidity from the Asian session, for example. Check the checkbox with BG. This will display the background for the currently selected session. You can then check if you are working only with the liquidity of your intended session.
Note:
Sometimes you may notice that liquidity lines start even outside the selected session. This is not a mistake. As mentioned above with pivot liquidity, if the pivot number (strength) is 10, we wait for the tenth candle to close before liquidity is confirmed. The pivot candle itself is thus located 10 candles back, and that is where the liquidity line also begins. However, the crucial moment for this indicator is when the liquidity point is confirmed.
Visual Settings
To customize the indicator to your preferences as much as possible, you have the option to set the style of the liquidity line, its color, and its thickness. The analyses you share will then match your exact vision.
Delete Grabbed Liquidity
Check this option when you want to see only uncrossed liquidity on the charts, meaning liquidity lines that have not yet been crossed by the price.
Display Liquidity Grab Point
When you check this option, it highlights the points on the candles where liquidity was grabbed.
Liquidity Duration
Some strategies require that only internal liquidity be taken, meaning liquidity that was created recently. To accommodate this, we have embedded several options in the indicator to work with the validity duration of liquidity.
Delete Liquidity End of Day
This option deletes the liquidity line at the end of the calendar day. This way, you can display only intraday liquidity.
Tip for traders: If you check both "delete liquidity end of day" and "delete grabbed liquidity," only the liquidity of the current day will be displayed on the chart.
Delete Liquidity End of Next Day
This option works similarly to the above. By deleting liquidity only at the end of the next day, you can work with yesterday's liquidity. Many strategies use the liquidity of the previous day (or the high and low of the previous day), allowing you to focus exclusively on yesterday's and today's liquidity.
Liquidity Duration in Bars
The final option allows you to delete liquidity after a certain time has elapsed. For the purposes of the indicator, we have set the time in terms of the number of bars. So, if you are on a 5-minute timeframe and want liquidity to be deleted after an hour, set the liquidity duration to 12 bars (12 x 5 minutes is 60 minutes).
Money Flow DivergenceThe Money Flow Divergence indicator is designed to help traders identify periods when there is a significant divergence between the growth of the U.S. M2 money supply and the S&P 500 index (SPX).
This divergence can provide insights into potential market turning points, making it a valuable tool for long-term investors and traders looking to capitalize on macroeconomic trends.
How It Works:
Data Sources:
S&P 500 Index (SPX) and U.S. M2 Money Supply.
Calculating Growth Rates:
SPX Growth: The script calculates the percentage growth of the S&P 500 index by comparing the current closing price with the previous period's closing price.
M2 Growth: Similarly, it calculates the percentage growth of the U.S. M2 money supply by comparing the current value with the previous period's value.
Growth Gap/Delta:
Growth Gap: The core of the indicator is the "growth gap" or "delta," which is the difference between the M2 money supply growth and the SPX growth. This gap indicates whether liquidity in the economy (represented by M2) is outpacing or lagging behind the performance of the stock market.
Interpretation:
Positive Gap (Green Bars): When the M2 growth outpaces SPX growth, the gap is positive, indicating that there is more liquidity in the system than what is being reflected in the stock market. This scenario often signals potential upward momentum in the market, making it a good time to consider buying.
Negative Gap (Red Bars): When the SPX growth outpaces M2 growth, the gap is negative, suggesting that the market may be overextended relative to the available liquidity. This can be a warning sign of potential market corrections or downturns.
Visualization:
The indicator plots the growth gap as a histogram with bars colored based on the gap value:
Green Bars: Indicate a positive gap where M2 growth is higher than SPX growth.
Red Bars: Indicate a negative gap where SPX growth is higher than M2 growth.
The bars are thickened for better visibility, and a horizontal line at zero is plotted to help users easily distinguish between positive and negative gaps.
How To Use It:
Time Frame Selection: Users can select the desired time frame (e.g., monthly, weekly) for the data. This flexibility allows traders to analyze the indicator over different periods, depending on their investment horizon.
Monthly time frames seem to work best.
Interpreting the Indicator:
Bullish Signals: Look for sustained periods of positive growth gaps (green bars), which may indicate a favorable environment for buying or holding long positions.
Bearish Signals: Be cautious during periods of negative growth gaps (red bars), which could signal overvaluation in the market or potential pullbacks.
Enjoy and let me know if you have any questions.
Dual Timeframe Williams Percent RangeThis is a dual timeframe Williams Percent Range indicator.
Function:
The idea behind this indicator is for trader to see what the Williams %r is doing on higher timeframes without the need to change the chart. I added the "Smoothing" function to take the jagged lines out of the higher timeframe. It has a better flow this way.
If we choose the 4H and the Daily timeframes for example. In this bullish situation I wait for the Daily WPR to cross above the -50 mid line. Then the faster 4H WPR will eventually hit the bottom and begin to rise again back into the trend.
This is the "Reset" of the 4H WPR and when the 4H WPR crosses up above the -50 mid line again it means price should begin to rise on the chart. I added the option to change the colour when the signal lines cross the -50. It is good to use a fast time frame so you can see the WPR hitting the bottom in an uptrend, but not too fast.
The Heiken Ashi candle sticks are a very good addition to this system. You can also use a colour changing 200 EMA if you run the "1H/Daily" in the WPR. Or the 50 EMA if you run the Daily 4H.
This system could be used on lower timeframes too but I have not tested it there.
The Dual WPR indicator, the colour changing 50 EMA and Heiken Ashi have been optimised for the 4H/Daily.
If you want to set alerts the the faster WPR line crossing the -50 is good, on candle close.
This way you will only need one alert per chart.
If you get an alert on the EURUSD 4H that the 4H WPR has crossed up then look to see what what the Daily WPR is doing. If it is also above the -50 mid line then EURUSD is probably trending up.
Thank you to TradingView for supplying the Williams %r template.
I hope this helps some other traders out there.
I combined the Supertrend and the Coloured EMA in the main screen into one indicator.
This is my first indicator published :-)
Have fun out there and good luck.

EMA+ATR Scalping Indicator by TradeTechIndicator Description: “EMA+ATR Scalping Indicator by Tradetech”
The “EMA+ATR Scalping Indicator” is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify optimal entry and exit points in the market, focusing on high-probability scalping opportunities. This indicator combines the strength of the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with the Average True Range (ATR) to generate precise signals, aiming to maximize profits while minimizing risk.
Key Features:
• Sensitivity Key Value: Allows customization of the ATR multiplier, fine-tuning the trailing stop level for different market conditions.
• ATR Calculation: Measures market volatility over a specified period, dynamically adjusting the trailing stop to capture significant price moves while reducing noise.
• EMA for Confirmation: The 20-period EMA is used as a trend filter, ensuring that trades are aligned with the prevailing market direction.
• Trade Cooldown Period: Prevents over-trading by enforcing a minimum number of bars between consecutive trades, reducing the likelihood of whipsaws.
• Flat ATR Threshold: Identifies periods of low volatility (flat ATR), during which trading is avoided to protect against false signals.
Trading Logic:
• Entry Signals: The indicator generates long signals when the price crosses above the ATR trailing stop or breaks out consecutively in an uptrend, with the EMA confirming the bullish trend. Short signals are generated when the price crosses below the ATR trailing stop or consecutively breaks out in a downtrend, with the EMA confirming the bearish trend.
• Exit Signals: The exit points are defined by the ATR trailing stop, which adjusts dynamically with market conditions, ensuring that profits are locked in as the trend evolves.
• No Trading Zone: When the ATR is flat, indicating low volatility, the indicator displays a “No Trading Zone” to prevent taking positions in uncertain market conditions.
Why Combine EMA + ATR?
The combination of EMA and ATR in this indicator is crucial for several reasons:
1. Trend Identification (EMA): The EMA acts as a reliable trend filter, ensuring that trades are taken in the direction of the prevailing trend. By doing so, the indicator avoids taking trades against the momentum, which could result in lower probability setups.
2. Volatility-Based Trailing Stop (ATR): The ATR provides a volatility-adjusted stop-loss level, which is essential in scalping strategies where market conditions can change rapidly. This allows the trailing stop to widen during periods of high volatility and tighten during low volatility, optimizing the trade management process.
3. Enhanced Accuracy: By combining the EMA and ATR, the indicator filters out noise and avoids entering trades during flat market conditions, where the probability of false signals is higher. This synergy between trend and volatility creates a more robust and accurate scalping tool.
4. Dynamic Trade Management: The use of ATR for setting trailing stops ensures that the trade exits are dynamic and adaptable to current market conditions, maximizing the potential for capturing significant moves while minimizing drawdowns.
Overall, the EMA + ATR combination within the “EMA+ATR Scalping Indicator” provides a well-rounded approach to scalping, balancing trend-following with volatility management for more consistent trading results.

Shark Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Shark Detector Indicator🔵 Introduction
The Shark harmonic pattern, first introduced by Scott Carney in 2011, is a recognized tool in technical analysis. Since its inception, it has been widely adopted by traders as an essential market analysis tool.
Due to its complexity, the Shark pattern can be challenging for novice traders. Therefore, we have developed the Harmonic Pattern Indicator to help analysts and traders easily identify these patterns.
🟣 Understanding the Types of Shark Pattern
In technical analysis, the Shark harmonic pattern forms at the end of trends and is categorized into two types: Bullish and Bearish Shark Patterns.
Bullish Shark Pattern : This pattern appears at the end of a downtrend, indicating a potential reversal to an uptrend. Traders can use this pattern to identify buy entry points. The image below illustrates the core components of the Bullish Shark Pattern.
Bearish Shark Pattern : Conversely, the Bearish Shark Pattern forms at the end of an uptrend, signaling a possible reversal to a downtrend. This pattern prompts traders to shift their positions from buying to selling. The image below showcases the characteristics of the Bearish Shark Pattern.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Trading with the Bullish Shark Pattern
The Bullish Shark Pattern acts as a reversal pattern, helping traders identify the end of a downtrend and the beginning of an uptrend. It consists of five key points that indicate alternating bullish and bearish movements.
Upon the complete formation of this pattern, traders can look for opportunities to enter buy trades. To manage risk effectively, it is advisable to set a stop-loss below the lowest price point within the pattern.
🟣 Trading with the Bearish Shark Pattern
Similarly, the Bearish Shark Pattern functions as a reversal pattern but in the opposite direction. It helps traders identify the end of an uptrend and the onset of a downtrend.
After the pattern fully forms, traders can seek sell entry opportunities. As with the bullish pattern, placing a stop-loss above the highest price point within the pattern is recommended for risk management.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Logical Setting
ZigZag Pivot Period : You can adjust the period so that the harmonic patterns are adjusted according to the pivot period you want. This factor is the most important parameter in pattern recognition.
Show Valid Format : If this parameter is on "On" mode, only patterns will be displayed that they have exact format and no noise can be seen in them. If "Off" is, the patterns displayed that maybe are noisy and do not exactly correspond to the original pattern.
Show Formation Last Pivot Confirm : if Turned on, you can see this ability of patterns when their last pivot is formed. If this feature is off, it will see the patterns as soon as they are formed. The advantage of this option being clear is less formation of fielded patterns, and it is accompanied by the latest pattern seeing and a sharp reduction in reward to risk.
Period of Formation Last Pivot : Using this parameter you can determine that the last pivot is based on Pivot period.
🟣 Genaral Setting
Show : Enter "On" to display the template and "Off" to not display the template.
Color : Enter the desired color to draw the pattern in this parameter.
LineWidth : You can enter the number 1 or numbers higher than one to adjust the thickness of the drawing lines. This number must be an integer and increases with increasing thickness.
LabelSize : You can adjust the size of the labels by using the "size.auto", "size.tiny", "size.smal", "size.normal", "size.large" or "size.huge" entries.
🟣 Alert Setting
Alert : On / Off
Message Frequency : This string parameter defines the announcement frequency. Choices include: "All" (activates the alert every time the function is called), "Once Per Bar" (activates the alert only on the first call within the bar), and "Once Per Bar Close" (the alert is activated only by a call at the last script execution of the real-time bar upon closing). The default setting is "Once per Bar".
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : The date, hour, and minute you receive in alert messages can be based on any time zone you choose. For example, if you want New York time, you should enter "UTC-4". This input is set to the time zone "UTC" by default.
🔵 Conclusion
The Shark harmonic pattern is a potent analytical tool in technical analysis that aids traders in identifying critical reversal points in financial markets. Whether in a bullish or bearish context, this pattern provides clear trend change signals, allowing traders to enter trades with greater precision and optimize their strategies.
However, as with all analytical methods, it is essential to supplement the Shark pattern with additional analyses and strict risk management to avoid potential losses. Incorporating this pattern into a comprehensive trading strategy can lead to better trade outcomes and more opportunities for success

False Breakouts [TradingFinder] Fake Breakouts Failure🔵 Introduction
Technical indicators are essential tools for analysts and traders in financial markets, helping them predict price movements and make better trading decisions. One of the key concepts in technical analysis that should be carefully considered is the "False Breakout."
This phenomenon occurs when a price temporarily breaks through a significant support or resistance level but fails to hold and quickly returns to its previous range. Understanding this concept and applying it in trading can reduce risks and increase profitability.
🟣 What is a False Breakout?
A Fake Breakout, as the name suggests, refers to a breakout that appears to occur but fails to sustain, leading the price to quickly revert back to its previous range. This situation often happens when inexperienced or non-professional traders, under psychological pressure and eager to enter the market quickly, initiate trades.
This creates opportunities for professional traders to take advantage of these short-term fluctuations and execute successful trades.
🟣 The Importance of Recognizing False Breakouts
Recognizing False Breakouts is crucial for any trader aiming for success in financial markets. False Breakouts typically occur when the market approaches a critical support or resistance level.
In these situations, many traders are waiting to see if the price will break through this level. However, when the price quickly returns to its previous range, it indicates weakness in the movement and the inability to sustain the breakout.
🟣 How to identify False Breakouts?
To identify Fake Breakouts, it is important to carefully analyze price charts and look for signs of a quick price reversal after breaking a key level.
Here are some chart patterns that may help you identify a False Breakout :
1. Pin Bar Pattern : The Pin Bar is a candlestick pattern that indicates a price reversal. This pattern usually appears near support and resistance levels, showing that the price attempted to break through a key level but failed and reversed.
2. Fakey Pattern : This pattern, which consists of several candlesticks, indicates a False Breakout and a quick price return to the previous range. It usually appears near key levels and can signal a trend reversal.
3. Using Multiple Timeframes : One way to identify False Breakouts is by using charts of different timeframes. Sometimes, a breakout on a one-hour chart may be a False Breakout on a daily chart. Analyzing charts across multiple timeframes can help you accurately identify this phenomenon.
🔵 How to Use
Once you identify a False Breakout, you can use it as a trading signal. For this, it is best to look for trading opportunities in the opposite direction of the False Breakout. In other words, if a False Breakout occurs at a resistance level, you might consider selling opportunities, and if it happens at a support level, you might look for buying opportunities.
Here are some key points for trading based on False Breakouts :
1. Patience and Discipline : Patience and discipline are crucial when trading with False Breakouts. Wait for the False Breakout to clearly form before entering a trade.
2. Use Stop Loss : Setting an appropriate stop loss is vital when trading based on False Breakouts. Typically, the stop loss can be placed near the level where the False Breakout occurred.
3. Seek Confirmations : Before entering a trade, look for additional confirmations. These can include other analyses or technical indicators that show the price is likely to return to its previous level.

ICT NWOG/NDOG Gaps [TradingFinder] New Opening Gaps🔵 Introduction
🟣 Understanding ICT Opening Gaps
In the realm of technical analysis, mastering the art of recognizing market behavior and pinpointing key price levels is vital for making sound trading decisions. Among the array of tools available, the concept of opening gaps stands out for its ability to provide crucial insights.
The ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology offers a distinctive approach to understanding the importance of New Day Opening Gaps (NDOG), New Week Opening Gaps (NWOG), and New Monthly Opening Gaps (NMOG).
These gaps, representing the price differences between the close of a previous period and the open of the next, serve as key reference points that can greatly impact price movements.
The ICT trading approach highlights these gaps as potential zones of support and resistance. Prices often respond to these areas, either bouncing off or passing through and then retesting them. Within these gaps, significant levels such as the high and low are particularly important.
Additionally, the Event Horizon PD Array (EHPDA) concept, which is an intermediate level calculated from the average of neighboring NWOGs or NDOGs, adds another layer to this analysis.
This guide delves into ICT's New Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Opening Ranges, showing how these gaps can be effectively utilized in trading. By grasping the nuances of these gaps, traders can better forecast market behavior, identify key support and resistance levels, and refine their trading strategies.
🟣 The Gaps
1. New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) : The NWOG is the price gap between Friday's closing price and Sunday's opening price. This gap is particularly crucial for traders who monitor weekly trends. Depending on the direction of the gap, the NWOG often serves as a pivotal support or resistance level.
2. New Day Opening Gap (NDOG) : The NDOG signifies the price difference between the closing price of the previous day and the opening price of the current day. Much like the NWOG, the NDOG is a key reference point for intraday traders.
Prices typically react to these levels, either reversing or continuing through the gap after a retest. NDOGs are instrumental in identifying short-term support and resistance levels, aiding traders in making decisions based on daily price movements.
3. New Monthly Opening Gap (NMOG) : The NMOG represents the gap between the closing price of the previous month and the opening price of the current month.
This gap is especially valuable for traders focusing on long-term trends and macroeconomic factors. As with NWOGs and NDOGs, the NMOG can act as a significant support or resistance level.
🔵 How to Use
Identifying Support and Resistance : Opening gaps often indicate potential zones where prices might reverse or find support/resistance. For example, if a new day opens below the previous day’s close (creating a NDOG), this gap could act as resistance, prompting traders to consider short positions if the price retests this level without breaking through.
Conversely, if the price opens above the previous day’s close, the gap might serve as support, offering a potential entry point for long trades.
Gap Fill Strategy : A popular strategy associated with opening gaps is the "gap fill" approach, where traders anticipate that the price will eventually return to fill the gap.
For instance, if there’s a significant NDOG at market open, a trader might expect the price to retrace back to the previous day’s close, effectively "filling" the gap. This strategy is particularly effective in markets that exhibit mean-reverting behavior.
Combining Gaps with Other Indicators : Traders often enhance their analysis of NDOG, NWOG, and NMOG by integrating other technical indicators. Aligning gap levels with tools such as Fibonacci retracements, moving averages, or existing support and resistance zones can provide additional confirmation for trade entries and exits.
🔵 Setting
Show and Color : You can control the display or non-display of the range as well as the color of the range.
Max Opening Range Update Method : You can control the number of ranges that are updated. If it is "All", all ranges that are not mitigated will be displayed. If "Custom", the ranges will be updated based on the number you specify.
Max Opening Range Update : The number of ranges to update.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT New Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Opening Ranges provide traders with a systematic approach to understanding market dynamics and identifying critical support and resistance levels.
By analyzing these gaps, traders can gain deeper insights into potential price movements, spot high-probability trade setups, and strengthen their overall trading strategy. Whether you are focused on short-term day trading or long-term market trends, incorporating NDOG, NWOG, and NMOG analysis into your trading plan can be a powerful addition to your toolkit.
Bitcoin Power Law Oscillator [InvestorUnknown]The Bitcoin Power Law Oscillator is a specialized tool designed for long-term mean-reversion analysis of Bitcoin's price relative to a theoretical midline derived from the Bitcoin Power Law model (made by capriole_charles). This oscillator helps investors identify whether Bitcoin is currently overbought, oversold, or near its fair value according to this mathematical model.
Key Features:
Power Law Model Integration: The oscillator is based on the midline of the Bitcoin Power Law, which is calculated using regression coefficients (A and B) applied to the logarithm of the number of days since Bitcoin’s inception. This midline represents a theoretical fair value for Bitcoin over time.
Midline Distance Calculation: The distance between Bitcoin’s current price and the Power Law midline is computed as a percentage, indicating how far above or below the price is from this theoretical value.
float a = input.float (-16.98212206, 'Regression Coef. A', group = "Power Law Settings")
float b = input.float (5.83430649, 'Regression Coef. B', group = "Power Law Settings")
normalization_start_date = timestamp(2011,1,1)
calculation_start_date = time == timestamp(2010, 7, 19, 0, 0) // First BLX Bitcoin Date
int days_since = request.security('BNC:BLX', 'D', ta.barssince(calculation_start_date))
bar() =>
= request.security('BNC:BLX', 'D', bar())
int offset = 564 // days between 2009/1/1 and "calculation_start_date"
int days = days_since + offset
float e = a + b * math.log10(days)
float y = math.pow(10, e)
float midline_distance = math.round((y / btc_close - 1.0) * 100)
Oscillator Normalization: The raw distance is converted into a normalized oscillator, which fluctuates between -1 and 1. This normalization adjusts the oscillator to account for historical extremes, making it easier to compare current conditions with past market behavior.
float oscillator = -midline_distance
var float min = na
var float max = na
if (oscillator > max or na(max)) and time >= normalization_start_date
max := oscillator
if (min > oscillator or na(min)) and time >= normalization_start_date
min := oscillator
rescale(float value, float min, float max) =>
(2 * (value - min) / (max - min)) - 1
normalized_oscillator = rescale(oscillator, min, max)
Overbought/Oversold Identification: The oscillator provides a clear visual representation, where values near 1 suggest Bitcoin is overbought, and values near -1 indicate it is oversold. This can help identify potential reversal points or areas of significant market imbalance.
Optional Moving Average: Users can overlay a moving average (either SMA or EMA) on the oscillator to smooth out short-term fluctuations and focus on longer-term trends. This is particularly useful for confirming trend reversals or persistent overbought/oversold conditions.
This indicator is particularly useful for long-term Bitcoin investors who wish to gauge the market's mean-reversion tendencies based on a well-established theoretical model. By focusing on the Power Law’s midline, users can gain insights into whether Bitcoin’s current price deviates significantly from what historical trends would suggest as a fair value.
Pace ProOverview
The Pace Pro indicator is a robust trend-following tool designed for versatile application across various timeframes and markets, including stocks, forex, futures and cryptocurrencies. It provides traders with "bull" and "bear" signals, take profit (TP) signals, and volume spike indications. This indicator aims to help traders identify potential trading opportunities through trends, reversals and price exhaustion.
Key Features
Bull and Bear Signals: Pace Pro generates green "bull" and red "bear" signals based on a trend strength score derived from an aggregation of components.
Take Profit (TP) Signals: The indicator plots black "TP" signals at areas of price exhaustion.
Volume Spike Indicators: The indicator colors candles to signify high volume spikes—light green for high bullish volume and light red for high bearish volume.
Price Clouds: The indicator includes three types of Bollinger Band clouds. These clouds help visualize exhaustion and volatility, providing traders with multiple perspectives on market dynamics.
How it works:
Trend Strength: This score is calculated using a proprietary formula that assesses the magnitude and direction of market movement with standard deviation and regression analysis. Standard deviation computes the average price over a specified period and then calculates the standard deviation of prices from this average. A linear regression is performed on the closing prices over a specified period. The slope of the regression line is used to identify the trend direction, and the standard deviation is used to assess trend stability and filter out noise, working together to clearly identify direction and robustness. Bull/Bear signals are produced based on trend strength reaching specific thresholds, configurable in the settings.
Overbought/Oversold Strength: This strength identifies price exhaustion using a unique formula that aggregates values from several indicators such as RVI, RSI and CCI. RVI captures price trends, RSI measures momentum, and CCI identifies price deviations from the mean, providing a comprehensive view of market conditions. Take profit signals are plotted at points of high price exhaustion, indicating optimal exit prices.
Volume Analysis: Volume spikes are identified and highlighted with colored candles using an ATR calculation that pinpoints outliers in volume. This is calculated using the math.abs function, identifying volume spikes in the last 14 bars. Volume spike candle size can be configured in settings to the user's liking.
Bollinger Band Clouds: The indicator employs Bollinger Band clouds based on WMA, VWMA, and EMA to provide a comprehensive view of market volatility and trend strength. WMA responds quickly to price changes, VWMA incorporates volume, and EMA smooths out data, offering a unique and adaptive perspective on market conditions. This combination is used to provide a unique perspective on market volatility, utilizing different moving averages. These clouds adapt to price fluctuations and offer visual cues to enhance trend analysis.
Utility
This tool provides traders with valuable information for trend-following and reversal strategies across different timeframes. It helps traders by:
-Generating "bull" and "bear" signals to indicate potential long, short and exit points. The precise calculation methods and statistical components used in deriving the trend strength score are designed to filter out market noise and provide a clear indication of prevailing market trends.
-Providing "TP" signals at areas of price exhaustion, areas where taking profit is optimal. These also serve as potential reversal points in the market as they incorporate reversion analysis techniques.
-Highlighting high volume spikes with colored candles to indicate significant market activity. These volatile candles can indicate a significant and rapid surge in price.
-Offering visual insights through Bollinger Band clouds, which help traders assess overbought and oversold conditions on a broad scale. These aid in visualizing potential reversals in the market.
Rationale and Benefits of Component Combination
The combination of trend strength, overbought/oversold strength, volume analysis, and Bollinger Band clouds provides a holistic approach to market analysis and allows users to use various techniques of trading analysis to make sound trading decisions. Each component serves a distinct purpose:
-Trend Strength identifies and confirms the direction and magnitude of market trends, offering clear bull and bear signals. A trend score is calculated to clearly identify where price is strongly trending and where it is quite weak. This customizable feature allows traders to configure this indicator to their liking by only plotting signals when the trend reaches a desired threshold.
-Overbought/Oversold Strength pinpoints areas of price exhaustion, providing crucial take profit and reversal conditions in the market. I combine RSI, RVI, and CCI to provide a more robust reversion score. My rationale for this is to leverage data from multiple indicators, to ensure a comprehensive assessment of price exhaustion rather than relying on a single source.
-Volume Analysis highlights significant market activity, giving traders insights into potential price movements. This feature is included to provide users with a visual representation of price pumps/dumps, that can aid in trading decisions in combination with entry and exit signals.
-Bollinger Band Clouds offer a visual representation of market volatility and trend strength, enhancing the overall analytical framework. Bands were calculated using a mixture of WMA, VWMA, and EMA to diversify data and to bring variety to its display. This can enhance its use as it does not use a single data source and relies on multiple.
Uniqueness:
This indicator stands out due to its innovative integration of standard deviation and regression analysis, offering traders a unique and comprehensive market analysis tool. By combining standard deviation to measure volatility and filter out noise with regression analysis to identify trend direction and strength, it provides insightful trend signals that help traders make informed decisions. This indicator's versatility is enhanced by its customizable settings, allowing traders to adapt it to their specific needs and trading styles with the trend sensitivity setting. Combining RSI, RVI, and CCI for reversion and exit points is unique as it integrates multiple perspectives on price momentum and volatility, providing a more comprehensive assessment of price exhaustion than using any single indicator. Combining WMA, EMA, and VWMA as bands is beneficial and unique as it blends different averaging methods to offer a more nuanced and adaptive view of market volatility and trend strength.
By integrating these components, it delivers a multifaceted tool that addresses various aspects of market analysis, making it a valuable asset for traders seeking to improve their decision-making process.
Disclaimer
Trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for every investor. This indicator is designed to assist in decision-making but does not guarantee profits or prevent losses. Always conduct your own research and consider seeking advice from a financial professional.
Trendlines (long)Hi all!
I hope that this indicator helps you to be a more efficient trader. The concept is well known and useful. So this is not some magic algorithm founded by me, but rather a well known concept. The concept is the drawing of trendlines.
It draws trendlines that has a retest. It draws the trendlines in different colors, the colors used are blue, red, fuchsia and lime.
These are the steps for finding a trendline:
1. Find a generic retest
Find a low that has 2 earlier lows and 1 later low that are higher. This is the reason that a trendline will be created "1 bar late". This is the base and the indicator goes on from here, meaning that this needs to be true to continue.
2. Find an uptrend
Look back 8 bars to find a low that is lower than the retest low.
3. Create the first point of a trendline
Go thru every bar between the user defined "Lookback" and the retest bar (minus the user defined "Skip gap" that's needed between points to create a trendline). From the earliest bar to the latest.
4. Create the second point of the trendline
Go thru every bar between the retest bar and the the first point (bar) minus the "Skip gap". From latest bar to the earliest. A trendline between the two bars are invalidated if some of the criteria are met in-between the bars creating the trendline:
- closed above the trendline (trendline broken)
- is not within the retest bar
- the slope of the trendline is upwards (this indicator is for long entries only)
- at least 1 of the bars creating the retest (1 main bar and 2 earlier bars) has NOT been above the trendline
- is not the created trendline (between the two points) that's closest to the low of the retest bar
TODO:
- add functionality to draw trendlines directly on breakouts
- add volume (high volume needed to create a trendline from a breakout/retest)
- ...?
I hope this explanation makes sense, let me know otherwise. Also let me know if you have any suggestions on improvements.
Best of luck trading!

Big Bar Followed by Doji/PinbarUsed find doji/pinbars after a Big candle showing the potential Morning/Evening star formation after x amount of consecutive up moves.
1. Doji Threshold (dojiThreshold)
What is a Doji?: A doji is a candlestick pattern where the opening and closing prices are very close to each other. It represents indecision in the market.
Threshold Explanation: The dojiThreshold is used to define what qualifies as a doji by comparing the size of the candle's body (the difference between the opening and closing prices) to the total range of the candle (the difference between the high and low prices).
How it works:
The formula in the script checks if the absolute difference between the close and open is less than or equal to a percentage of the entire candle's range.
Example: If the dojiThreshold is set to 0.1 (or 10%), this means that for a candle to be considered a doji, the size of the body (the difference between the open and close) must be 10% or less of the total candle's range (the difference between the high and low prices).
In other words, if the body is small enough (based on the threshold), the candle is considered a doji.
2. Pinbar Body Size (pinbarBodySize)
What is a Pinbar?: A pinbar (short for "pinocchio bar") is a candlestick pattern with a small body and a long wick (or shadow) on one side, indicating a potential reversal. The longer wick represents a rejection of a certain price level.
Body Size Explanation: The pinbarBodySize defines the maximum proportion of the candle's total range that the body can occupy for the candle to be considered a pinbar.
How it works:
The script compares the size of the body to the total range of the candle.
Example: If pinbarBodySize is set to 0.3 (or 30%), the body of the candle must be 30% or less of the total range for it to be considered a pinbar. This ensures that the candle has a small body and, therefore, a relatively long wick on one side.
The script then checks whether the longer wick is on the upper or lower side of the candle to determine if it's a valid pinbar pattern.
Summary:
Doji: The dojiThreshold parameter sets how close the open and close prices need to be relative to the candle's range for the candle to be considered a doji.
Pinbar: The pinbarBodySize parameter sets the maximum size of the body relative to the candle's total range to qualify it as a pinbar.
Both of these thresholds are adjustable in the script, allowing you to fine-tune what qualifies as a doji or pinbar based on your trading style and the market conditions you're analyzing.

Envelop-Ama-VivekThe Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) is a type of moving average developed by Perry Kaufman, designed to adapt to the market's volatility. Unlike traditional moving averages that use fixed periods for smoothing, the AMA adjusts its sensitivity based on the market's noise and trends.
### Key Features of AMA:
1. **Adaptive Sensitivity:**
- The AMA responds more quickly to significant market movements while filtering out minor fluctuations. This is achieved by adjusting the smoothing constant dynamically.
- In trending markets, the AMA becomes more sensitive, allowing it to capture trends faster.
- In choppy or sideways markets, the AMA reduces its sensitivity, thus minimizing the impact of noise and avoiding false signals.
2. **Efficiency Ratio (ER):**
- The ER is a core component of the AMA. It measures the efficiency of price movement by comparing the net price change to the total price change over a given period.
- A higher ER indicates a strong trend, while a lower ER suggests more noise in the market.
3. **Smoothing Constant (SC):**
- The SC determines how much weight is given to the most recent price relative to the previous AMA value.
- The SC is dynamically adjusted based on the ER, with higher values used during strong trends and lower values during volatile or choppy periods.
### Applications of AMA:
- **Trend Detection:** The AMA is useful for identifying the start of a new trend or confirming an existing one, as it adjusts quickly to significant price movements.
- **Noise Reduction:** By adapting to market conditions, the AMA helps in filtering out market noise, making it easier to distinguish between genuine trends and short-term fluctuations.
- **Entry and Exit Signals:** Traders can use the AMA to generate buy and sell signals. For instance, when the price crosses above the AMA, it might indicate a buying opportunity, and when it crosses below, it might signal a selling opportunity.
### Benefits:
- **Adaptive Nature:** Its ability to adjust to market conditions makes the AMA more reliable in different market environments.
- **Reduced Lag:** Compared to traditional moving averages, the AMA reduces lag during trending markets, allowing for quicker responses to price movements.
### Drawbacks:
- **Complexity:** The calculation of the AMA is more complex compared to simple moving averages, which might make it less accessible to some traders.
- **Parameter Sensitivity:** The effectiveness of the AMA can vary depending on the chosen parameters (e.g., length, fast length, slow length), requiring careful tuning.
In summary, the AMA is a powerful tool for traders looking to capture trends while minimizing the impact of market noise. Its adaptive nature makes it suitable for various market conditions, providing a balance between responsiveness and noise reduction.
