Candle Spread Oscillator (CS0)The Candle Spread Oscillator (CSO) is a custom technical indicator designed to help traders identify momentum and directional strength in the market by analyzing the relationship between the candle body spread and the total candle range. This oscillator provides traders with a visually intuitive representation of price action dynamics and highlights key transitions between positive and negative momentum.
How It Works:
Body Spread vs. Total Range:
The CSO calculates the body spread (difference between the close and open price) and compares it to the total range (difference between the high and low price) of a candle.
The ratio of the body spread to the total range represents the proportion of price movement driven by directional momentum.
Smoothed Oscillator:
To remove noise and enhance clarity, the ratio is smoothed using a Hull Moving Average (HMA). The smoothing period can be adjusted through the "Smoothing Period" input, enabling traders to tailor the indicator to their preferred timeframes or strategies.
Gradient Visualization:
A gradient coloring is applied to the oscillator, transitioning smoothly between colors (e.g., fuchsia for negative momentum and aqua for positive momentum). This provides traders with a clear, intuitive visual cue of market behavior.
Visual Features:
Oscillator Plot:
The oscillator is displayed as an area-style plot, dynamically colored using a gradient. Positive values are represented in shades of aqua, while negative values are in shades of fuchsia.
Midline (0 Level):
A horizontal midline is plotted at the zero level, serving as a key reference point for identifying transitions between positive and negative momentum.
Background Highlights:
The chart background is subtly colored to match the oscillator's state, enhancing the visual emphasis on current momentum conditions.
Alerts for Key Crossovers:
The CSO comes with built-in alert conditions, making it highly actionable for traders:
Cross Up Alert: Triggers when the oscillator crosses above the midline (0), signaling a potential shift into positive momentum.
Cross Down Alert: Triggers when the oscillator crosses below the midline (0), indicating a potential transition into negative momentum.
These alerts allow traders to stay informed about critical market shifts without constantly monitoring the chart.
How to Use:
Trend Identification:
When the oscillator is above the midline and positive, it indicates that price action is moving with bullish momentum.
When the oscillator is below the midline and negative, it reflects bearish momentum.
Momentum Strength:
The magnitude of the oscillator (its distance from the midline) helps traders gauge the strength of the momentum. Stronger moves will push the oscillator further from zero.
Potential Reversals:
Crossovers of the oscillator through the midline can signal potential reversals or shifts in market direction.
Customization:
Adjust the Smoothing Period to adapt the sensitivity of the oscillator to different timeframes. A lower smoothing period reacts faster to price changes, while a higher smoothing period smooths out noise.
Best Use Cases:
Momentum Trading: Identify periods of sustained bullish or bearish momentum to align with the trend.
Reversal Signals: Spot transitions in market direction when the oscillator crosses the midline.
Confirmation Tool: Use the CSO alongside other indicators (e.g., volume, trendlines, or moving averages) to confirm trading signals.
Key Inputs:
Smoothing Period: Customize the sensitivity of the oscillator by adjusting the lookback period for the Hull Moving Average.
Gradient Range: The color gradient transitions between defined thresholds (-0.1 to 0.2 by default), ensuring a smooth visual experience.
[Why Use the Candle Spread Oscillator?
The CSO is a simple yet powerful tool for traders who want to:
Gain a deeper understanding of price momentum.
Quickly visualize shifts between bullish and bearish trends.
Use clear, actionable signals with customizable alerts.
Disclaimer: This indicator is not a standalone trading strategy. It should be used in combination with other technical and fundamental analysis tools. Always trade responsibly, and consult a financial advisor for personalized advice.

Dynamic Intensity Transition Oscillator (DITO)The Dynamic Intensity Transition Oscillator (DITO) is a comprehensive indicator designed to identify and visualize the slope of price action normalized by volatility, enabling consistent comparisons across different assets. This indicator calculates and categorizes the intensity of price movement into six states—three positive and three negative—while providing visual cues and alerts for state transitions.
Components and Functionality
1. Slope Calculation
- The slope represents the rate of change in price action over a specified period (Slope Calculation Period).
- It is calculated as the difference between the current price and the simple moving average (SMA) of the price, divided by the length of the period.
2. Normalization Using ATR
- To standardize the slope across assets with different price scales and volatilities, the slope is divided by the Average True Range (ATR).
- The ATR ensures that the slope is comparable across assets with varying price levels and volatility.
3. Intensity Levels
- The normalized slope is categorized into six distinct intensity levels:
High Positive: Strong upward momentum.
Medium Positive: Moderate upward momentum.
Low Positive: Weak upward movement or consolidation.
Low Negative: Weak downward movement or consolidation.
Medium Negative: Moderate downward momentum.
High Negative: Strong downward momentum.
4. Visual Representation
- The oscillator is displayed as a histogram, with each intensity level represented by a unique color:
High Positive: Lime green.
Medium Positive: Aqua.
Low Positive: Blue.
Low Negative: Yellow.
Medium Negative: Purple.
High Negative: Fuchsia.
Threshold levels (Low Intensity, Medium Intensity) are plotted as horizontal dotted lines for visual reference, with separate colors for positive and negative thresholds.
5. Intensity Table
- A dynamic table is displayed on the chart to show the current intensity level.
- The table's text color matches the intensity level color for easy interpretation, and its size and position are customizable.
6. Alerts for State Transitions
- The indicator includes a robust alerting system that triggers when the intensity level transitions from one state to another (e.g., from "Medium Positive" to "High Positive").
- The alert includes both the previous and current states for clarity.

ADDYad
Candle % Close with Bullish/Bearish EvaluationI created the indicator to more quickly define the polarity of candles. For a large number of candles, it is straightforward to determine whether a candle is bullish or bearish. However, candles with long wicks often appear, making it uncertain whether the candle is bullish or bearish from a price action perspective. It is not a rule that a red candle is bearish and a green candle is bullish.
From a more advanced price action standpoint, how these candles close is important. Therefore, I created the 'Percent range' input. By default, it is set to 50% (high-low)/2. This way, the indicator precisely determines 50% of the candle's entire range. This allows us to determine whether a bearish candle truly closed below 50% of its range. If not, such a candle is considered bullish, even if it is a negative candle. The same applies to bullish candles, but conversely. If a positive candle closes below 50% of its range, from a price action perspective, it is considered a bearish candle.
Since in price action it is common for the price to return to 50% of the previous candle and, after filling, to continue in the established trend, I added the line extension option. Whatever high value you enter, the line extension follows the current candle. This option works only when the stop line checkbox is enabled. This way, you can plot 50% of the candle's range that the market has historically not returned to due to a strong trend. Often, this line is plotted on a candle where there is also an FVG, which can help you more easily find a point of interest.
Stop line extension : Ensures the interruption of line plotting when the candle is touched by the body or wick.
Percentage Calculator by Akshay GaurThis indicator calculates and displays percentage levels above and below the current price. It allows you to easily identify any percentage levels which can be used in many things like creating strangles and straddles and make informed trading decisions. The indicator automatically adjusts and redraws the lines and labels on the latest bar to reflect real-time market conditions.
Key Features:
• Calculates percentage levels above and below the current price
• Displays percentage levels on big labels with the horizontal lines on the chart
• Allows you to adjust the percentage value and every details.
• Allows you to see Fluctuation line on the chart.
How to Use:
1. Set the percentage value to the desired level (e.g. 1%, 2%, etc.)
2. If you want to see Fluctuation lines also then turn on it from Input settings.
3. Use the displayed levels to identify desired percentage levels.
4. Make informed trading decisions based on the calculated levels
Implied and Historical VolatilityAbstract
This TradingView indicator visualizes implied volatility (IV) derived from the VIX index and historical volatility (HV) computed from past price data of the S&P 500 (or any selected asset). It enables users to compare market participants' forward-looking volatility expectations (via VIX) with realized past volatility (via historical returns). Such comparisons are pivotal in identifying risk sentiment, volatility regimes, and potential mispricing in derivatives.
Functionality
Implied Volatility (IV):
The implied volatility is extracted from the VIX index, often referred to as the "fear gauge." The VIX represents the market's expectation of 30-day forward volatility, derived from options pricing on the S&P 500. Higher values of VIX indicate increased uncertainty and risk aversion (Whaley, 2000).
Historical Volatility (HV):
The historical volatility is calculated using the standard deviation of logarithmic returns over a user-defined period (default: 20 trading days). The result is annualized using a scaling factor (default: 252 trading days). Historical volatility represents the asset's past price fluctuation intensity, often used as a benchmark for realized risk (Hull, 2018).
Dynamic Background Visualization:
A dynamic background is used to highlight the relationship between IV and HV:
Yellow background: Implied volatility exceeds historical volatility, signaling elevated market expectations relative to past realized risk.
Blue background: Historical volatility exceeds implied volatility, suggesting the market might be underestimating future uncertainty.
Use Cases
Options Pricing and Trading:
The disparity between IV and HV provides insights into whether options are over- or underpriced. For example, when IV is significantly higher than HV, options traders might consider selling volatility-based derivatives to capitalize on elevated premiums (Natenberg, 1994).
Market Sentiment Analysis:
Implied volatility is often used as a proxy for market sentiment. Comparing IV to HV can help identify whether the market is overly optimistic or pessimistic about future risks.
Risk Management:
Institutional and retail investors alike use volatility measures to adjust portfolio risk exposure. Periods of high implied or historical volatility might necessitate rebalancing strategies to mitigate potential drawdowns (Campbell et al., 2001).
Volatility Trading Strategies:
Traders employing volatility arbitrage can benefit from understanding the IV/HV relationship. Strategies such as "long gamma" positions (buying options when IV < HV) or "short gamma" (selling options when IV > HV) are directly informed by these metrics.
Scientific Basis
The indicator leverages established financial principles:
Implied Volatility: Derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton model, implied volatility reflects the market's aggregate expectation of future price fluctuations (Black & Scholes, 1973).
Historical Volatility: Computed as the realized standard deviation of asset returns, historical volatility measures the intensity of past price movements, forming the basis for risk quantification (Jorion, 2007).
Behavioral Implications: IV often deviates from HV due to behavioral biases such as risk aversion and herding, creating opportunities for arbitrage (Baker & Wurgler, 2007).
Practical Considerations
Input Flexibility: Users can modify the length of the HV calculation and the annualization factor to suit specific markets or instruments.
Market Selection: The default ticker for implied volatility is the VIX (CBOE:VIX), but other volatility indices can be substituted for assets outside the S&P 500.
Data Frequency: This indicator is most effective on daily charts, as VIX data typically updates at a daily frequency.
Limitations
Implied volatility reflects the market's consensus but does not guarantee future accuracy, as it is subject to rapid adjustments based on news or events.
Historical volatility assumes a stationary distribution of returns, which might not hold during structural breaks or crises (Engle, 1982).

Renko Chart EmulationRenko charts are a popular tool in technical analysis, known for their ability to filter out market noise and focus purely on price movements. Unlike traditional candlestick or bar charts, Renko charts are not time-based but are constructed using bricks that represent a fixed price movement. This makes them particularly useful for identifying trends and key levels of support and resistance. While Renko charts are commonly found on platforms with specialized charting capabilities, they can also be emulated in Pine Script as a line indicator.
The Renko emulation indicator in Pine Script calculates the movement of price based on a user-defined brick size. Whenever the price moves up or down by an amount equal to or greater than the brick size, a new level is plotted, indicating a shift in price direction. This approach helps traders visualize significant price moves without the distractions of smaller fluctuations. By plotting the Renko levels as a continuous line and coloring it based on direction, this indicator provides a clean and straightforward representation of market trends.
Traders can use this Renko emulation line to identify potential entry and exit points, as well as to confirm ongoing trends. The simplicity of Renko charts makes them a favorite among those who prefer a minimalist approach to technical analysis. However, it is essential to choose an appropriate brick size that aligns with the volatility of the trading instrument. A smaller brick size may result in frequent signals, while a larger one can smooth out the chart, focusing only on the most substantial price movements. This script offers a flexible solution for incorporating Renko-style analysis into any trading strategy.
Correlation Coefficient Master TableThe Correlation Coefficient Master Table is a comprehensive tool designed to calculate and visualize the correlation coefficient between a selected base asset and multiple other assets over various time periods. It provides traders and analysts with a clear understanding of the relationships between assets, enabling them to analyze trends, diversification opportunities, and market dynamics. You can define key parameters such as the base asset’s data source (e.g., close price), the assets to compare against (up to six symbols), and multiple lookback periods for granular analysis.
The indicator calculates the covariance and normalizes it by the product of the standard deviations. The correlation coefficient ranges from -1 to +1, with +1 indicating a perfect positive relationship, -1 a perfect negative relationship, and 0 no relationship.
You can specify the lookback periods (e.g., 15, 30, 90, or 120 bars) to tailor the calculation to their analysis needs. The results are visualized as both a line plot and a table. The line plot shows the correlation over the primary lookback period (the Chart Length), which can be used to inspect a certain length close up, or could be used in conjunction with the table to provide you with five lookback periods at once for the same base asset. The dynamically created table provides a detailed breakdown of correlation values for up to six target assets across the four user-defined lengths. The table’s cells are formatted with rounded values and color-coded for easy interpretation.
This indicator is ideal for traders, portfolio managers, and market researchers who need an in-depth understanding of asset interdependencies. By providing both the numerical correlation coefficients and their visual representation, users can easily identify patterns, assess diversification strategies, and monitor correlations across multiple timeframes, making it a valuable tool for decision-making.

Nen Star Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] NenStar Reversal Auto🔵 Introduction
The Nen-Star Harmonic Pattern is an advanced reversal pattern in technical analysis, designed to identify market trend changes and predict key price reversal points. This pattern is defined by a combination of Fibonacci ratios and critical concepts such as Potential Reversal Zones (PRZ), market structure, and corrective waves.
The key points of this pattern include X, A, B, C, and D, and it appears in both bullish and bearish forms. In its bullish form, the pattern resembles the letter M, while in its bearish form, it takes the shape of W. The critical Fibonacci ratios for this pattern are 0.382 to 0.786 for the XA wave, 1.13 to 1.414 for the AB wave, and 1.272 to 2.618 for the BC wave.
The Nen-Star Harmonic Pattern is one of the most precise tools for identifying market reversals and executing reversal trades. Traders can use it to pinpoint optimal entry and exit points and benefit from high risk-to-reward ratios.
By emphasizing Fibonacci retracement levels, XABCD waves, the formation of bullish and bearish patterns, and precise trade entry points, this pattern has become a practical tool in advanced technical analysis.

🔵 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 Forma t: 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.

Fibonacci Trading Strategy (Auto Levels)How It Works
Swing Highs and Lows Detection:
The script identifies the highest high and lowest low over a specified lookback period (default: 50 candles). These points are used as the basis for Fibonacci calculations.
Fibonacci Levels:
Fibonacci retracement levels: 0%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%, and 100%.
Fibonacci extension levels: 127.2%, 161.8%, 200%, 261.8%, and 361.8%.
Each level is plotted on the chart with a specific color and labeled with the corresponding price.
Entry Zones:
Pullback Area: Between the 50% and 61.8% retracement levels. This area is highlighted in green, indicating a potential entry for conservative traders.
Full Margin Area: Between the 61.8% and 78.6% retracement levels. This area is highlighted in red, suggesting a higher-risk entry for aggressive traders.
Stop Loss (SL):
The Stop Loss is placed at the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level. A dotted red line is drawn at this level to provide a visual reference for risk management.
Entry labels include the Stop Loss price for clarity.
Take Profit (TP) Levels:
Multiple take-profit targets are identified using Fibonacci extension levels (127.2%, 161.8%, 200%, 261.8%, and 361.8%).
Each level is labeled with the price and target percentage.
Visual Aids:
The script dynamically labels each Fibonacci level with its corresponding price.
Entry points (Pullback and Full Margin) are marked with clear labels, including the recommended Stop Loss.
Background highlights help distinguish the Pullback and Full Margin areas.
Strategy Highlights
Risk Management:
Incorporates a well-defined Stop Loss at the 78.6% level to limit downside risk.
Multiple take-profit levels help traders scale out of positions gradually.
Automation:
Automatically recalculates levels when new swing highs or lows are detected, ensuring accuracy in dynamic markets.
Customizability:
Users can adjust the lookback period to suit different timeframes or trading styles.
Clarity:
Clean visuals and detailed labels ensure the strategy is easy to interpret and apply.
When to Use
The strategy is suitable for trend-following traders looking to enter during pullbacks in an established trend.
It works best in trending markets where Fibonacci levels often act as strong support or resistance.
Example Scenario
Bullish Setup:
Price retraces to the 50%-61.8% area (Pullback Area) after a swing high.
A buy order is placed in this zone, with the Stop Loss at the 78.6% level.
Profit targets are set at the 127.2%, 161.8%, and higher Fibonacci extensions.
Bearish Setup:
In a downtrend, price retraces upward to the 50%-61.8% zone.
A sell order is placed, with the Stop Loss at the 78.6% level and take-profit levels below.
Volatility IndicatorThe volatility indicator presented here is based on multiple volatility indices that reflect the market’s expectation of future price fluctuations across different asset classes, including equities, commodities, and currencies. These indices serve as valuable tools for traders and analysts seeking to anticipate potential market movements, as volatility is a key factor influencing asset prices and market dynamics (Bollerslev, 1986).
Volatility, defined as the magnitude of price changes, is often regarded as a measure of market uncertainty or risk. Financial markets exhibit periods of heightened volatility that may precede significant price movements, whether upward or downward (Christoffersen, 1998). The indicator presented in this script tracks several key volatility indices, including the VIX (S&P 500), GVZ (Gold), OVX (Crude Oil), and others, to help identify periods of increased uncertainty that could signal potential market turning points.
Volatility Indices and Their Relevance
Volatility indices like the VIX are considered “fear gauges” as they reflect the market’s expectation of future volatility derived from the pricing of options. A rising VIX typically signals increasing investor uncertainty and fear, which often precedes market corrections or significant price movements. In contrast, a falling VIX may suggest complacency or confidence in continued market stability (Whaley, 2000).
The other volatility indices incorporated in the indicator script, such as the GVZ (Gold Volatility Index) and OVX (Oil Volatility Index), capture the market’s perception of volatility in specific asset classes. For instance, GVZ reflects market expectations for volatility in the gold market, which can be influenced by factors such as geopolitical instability, inflation expectations, and changes in investor sentiment toward safe-haven assets. Similarly, OVX tracks the implied volatility of crude oil options, which is a crucial factor for predicting price movements in energy markets, often driven by geopolitical events, OPEC decisions, and supply-demand imbalances (Pindyck, 2004).
Using the Indicator to Identify Market Movements
The volatility indicator alerts traders when specific volatility indices exceed a defined threshold, which may signal a change in market sentiment or an upcoming price movement. These thresholds, set by the user, are typically based on historical levels of volatility that have preceded significant market changes. When a volatility index exceeds this threshold, it suggests that market participants expect greater uncertainty, which often correlates with increased price volatility and the possibility of a trend reversal.
For example, if the VIX exceeds a pre-determined level (e.g., 30), it could indicate that investors are anticipating heightened volatility in the equity markets, potentially signaling a downturn or correction in the broader market. On the other hand, if the OVX rises significantly, it could point to an upcoming sharp movement in crude oil prices, driven by changing market expectations about supply, demand, or geopolitical risks (Geman, 2005).
Practical Application
To effectively use this volatility indicator in market analysis, traders should monitor the alert signals generated when any of the volatility indices surpass their thresholds. This can be used to identify periods of market uncertainty or potential market turning points across different sectors, including equities, commodities, and currencies. The indicator can help traders prepare for increased price movements, adjust their risk management strategies, or even take advantage of anticipated price swings through options trading or volatility-based strategies (Black & Scholes, 1973).
Traders may also use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to validate the potential for significant market movements. For example, if the VIX exceeds its threshold and the market is simultaneously approaching a critical technical support or resistance level, the trader might consider entering a position that capitalizes on the anticipated price breakout or reversal.
Conclusion
This volatility indicator is a robust tool for identifying market conditions that are conducive to significant price movements. By tracking the behavior of key volatility indices, traders can gain insights into the market’s expectations of future price fluctuations, enabling them to make more informed decisions regarding market entries and exits. Understanding and monitoring volatility can be particularly valuable during times of heightened uncertainty, as changes in volatility often precede substantial shifts in market direction (French et al., 1987).

Follow Through Day (FTD) + Sweep [TrendX_]The Follow Through Day (FTD) + Sweep indicator is a Trend-following tool mixing William O'Neil's original FTD concept and Liquidity concept. This indicator helps you identify potential subsequent bullish trends with greater precision by combining volume analysis, price action, and liquidity concepts.
💎 FEATURES
Follow Through Day Candle (FTD Candle)
The FTD, pioneered by William O'Neil, serves as a reliable signal for identifying the beginning of new bull markets. It's particularly valuable because it combines multiple market factors - price action, volume, and timing - to confirm genuine market reversals rather than temporary bounces.
The power of the FTD lies in its ability to distinguish between ordinary market fluctuations and significant trend changes. By requiring specific criteria to be met across multiple sessions, it helps filter out false signals and identifies high-probability reversal points where institutional investors are likely beginning to accumulate positions.
Sweep Area
The Sweep area feature enhances the traditional FTD concept by incorporating modern liquidity analysis. This overlay identifies zones where large market participants are likely to trigger stop losses before continuing the trend. These areas often represent optimal entry points for traders looking to join the new uptrend with reduced risk.
🔎 BREAKDOWN
FTD Candle
The FTD formation process occurs in two distinct phases: Setup and Completion.
Setup Phase
Strong Market Decline
The market must first experience a significant downtrend
This selling pressure helps clear out weak hands and creates oversold conditions
The decline creates the potential energy for a powerful reversal
First Recovery Session
Marks the initial sign of buying pressure emerging
Often characterized by a strong reversal candle
Represents the first indication that selling pressure may be exhausting
Recovery Confirmation
The second and third days must maintain prices above the new pivot low
This consolidation period helps confirm the validity of the initial bounce
Shows that sellers are no longer in control of price action
Completion Phase:
Supply Test Session
Low volume indicates diminishing selling pressure
Price remains above the pivot low
Creates the foundation for institutional buyers to begin accumulating
Breakout Day
Price increase exceeds average profit of bullish candles
Volume increases by at least 15% compared to previous session
Shows strong institutional commitment to the new uptrend
Timing Window
Must occur between the 4th and 8th candle after First Recovery Session
This specific timing helps confirm the sustainability of the reversal
Based on O'Neil's research of historical market bottoms
FTD Sweep
The Post-FTD Phase introduces the Sweep concept, which is crucial for understanding how large market participants operate. This feature leverages the liquidity concept because institutional traders often need to trigger stop losses to accumulate larger positions at better prices. This helps:
Create liquidity pools for large position entries
Shake out weak hands before continuing the trend
Test the strength of the new trend by absorbing selling pressure
⚙️ USAGE
Sweep + TP & SL Strategy
Example: BTCUSDT (1D) - Replay back to 9th November 2024
After an FTD candle forms, traders can adopt a systematic approach to enhance their trading strategy. First, they should determine the swing range and convert the post-FTD zone into concrete stop loss and take profit levels, which are based on the price action during the FTD formation. Next, traders should wait for a sweep formation, as this indicates that institutional players are accumulating positions. A quick price rejection from the sweep level should be observed before executing an entry.
The reasoning behind this strategy is rooted in market microstructure. By waiting for the sweep, traders position themselves alongside institutional players who need to build large positions without causing adverse price movement. The sweep creates the liquidity they need, and the subsequent move often represents the true trend continuation.
DISCLAIMER
This indicator is not financial advice, it can only help traders make better decisions. There are many factors and uncertainties that can affect the outcome of any endeavor, and no one can guarantee or predict with certainty what will occur. Therefore, one should always exercise caution and judgment when making decisions based on past performance.
