Volume Surprise [LuxAlgo]The Volume Surprise tool displays the trading volume alongside the expected volume at that time, allowing users to spot unexpected trading activity on the chart easily.
The tool includes an extrapolation of the estimated volume for future periods, allowing forecasting future trading activity.
🔶 USAGE
We define Volume Surprise as a situation where the actual trading volume deviates significantly from its expected value at a given time.
Being able to determine if trading activity is higher or lower than expected allows us to precisely gauge the interest of market participants in specific trends.
A histogram constructed from the difference between the volume and expected volume is provided to easily highlight the difference between the two and may be used as a standalone.
The tool can also help quantify the impact of specific market events, such as news about an instrument. For example, an important announcement leading to volume below expectations might be a sign of market participants underestimating the impact of the announcement.
Like in the example above, it is possible to observe cases where the volume significantly differs from the expected one, which might be interpreted as an anomaly leading to a correction.
🔹 Detecting Rare Trading Activity
Expected volume is defined as the mean (or median if we want to limit the impact of outliers) of the volume grouped at a specific point in time. This value depends on grouping volume based on periods, which can be user-defined.
However, it is possible to adjust the indicator to overestimate/underestimate expected volume, allowing for highlighting excessively high or low volume at specific times.
In order to do this, select "Percentiles" as the summary method, and change the percentiles value to a value that is close to 100 (overestimate expected volume) or to 0 (underestimate expected volume).
In the example above, we are only interested in detecting volume that is excessively high, we use the 95th percentile to do so, effectively highlighting when volume is higher than 95% of the volumes recorded at that time.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Choosing the Right Periods
Our expected volume value depends on grouping volume based on periods, which can be user-defined.
For example, if only the hourly period is selected, volumes are grouped by their respective hours. As such, to get the expected volume for the hour 7 PM, we collect and group the historical volumes that occurred at 7 PM and average them to get our expected value at that time.
Users are not limited to selecting a single period, and can group volume using a combination of all the available periods.
Do note that when on lower timeframes, only having higher periods will lead to less precise expected values. Enabling periods that are too low might prevent grouping. Finally, enabling a lot of periods will, on the other hand, lead to a lot of groups, preventing the ability to get effective expected values.
In order to avoid changing periods by navigating across multiple timeframes, an "Auto Selection" setting is provided.
🔹 Group Length
The length setting allows controlling the maximum size of a volume group. Using higher lengths will provide an expected value on more historical data, further highlighting recurring patterns.
🔹 Recommended Assets
Obtaining the expected volume for a specific period (time of the day, day of the week, quarter, etc) is most effective when on assets showing higher signs of periodicity in their trading activity.
This is visible on stocks, futures, and forex pairs, which tend to have a defined, recognizable interval with usually higher trading activity.
Assets such as cryptocurrencies will usually not have a clearly defined periodic trading activity, which lowers the validity of forecasts produced by the tool, as well as any conclusions originating from the volume to expected volume comparisons.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: Maximum number of records in a volume group for a specific period. Older values are discarded.
Smooth: Period of a SMA used to smooth volume. The smoothing affects the expected value.
🔹 Periods
Auto Selection: Automatically choose a practical combination of periods based on the chart timeframe.
Custom periods can be used if disabling "Auto Selection". Available periods include:
- Minutes
- Hours
- Days (can be: Day of Week, Day of Month, Day of Year)
- Months
- Quarters
🔹 Summary
Method: Method used to obtain the expected value. Options include Mean (default) or Percentile.
Percentile: Percentile number used if "Method" is set to "Percentile". A value of 50 will effectively use a median for the expected value.
🔹 Forecast
Forecast Window: Number of bars ahead for which the expected volume is predicted.
Style: Style settings of the forecast.
Forecasting
Metallic Retracement ToolI made a version of the Metallic Retracement script where instead of using automatic zig-zag detection, you get to place the points manually. When you add it to the chart, it prompts you to click on two points. These two points become your swing range, and the indicator calculates all the metallic retracement levels from there and plots them on your chart. You can drag the points around afterwards to adjust the range, or just add the indicator to the chart again to place a completely new set of points.
The mathematical foundation is identical to the original Metallic Retracement indicator. You're still working with metallic means, which are the sequence of constants that generalize the golden ratio through the equation x² = kx + 1. When k equals 1, you get the golden ratio. When k equals 2, you get silver. Bronze is 3, and so on forever. Each metallic number generates its own set of retracement ratios by raising alpha to various negative powers, where alpha equals (k + sqrt(k² + 4)) / 2. The script algorithmically calculates these levels instead of hardcoding them, which means you can pick any metallic number you want and instantly get its complete retracement sequence.
What's different here is the control. Automatic zig-zag detection is useful when you want the indicator to find swings for you, but sometimes you have a specific price range in mind that doesn't line up with what the zig-zag algorithm considers significant. Maybe you're analyzing a move that's still developing and hasn't triggered the zig-zag's reversal thresholds yet. Maybe you want to measure retracements from an arbitrary high to an arbitrary low that happened weeks apart with tons of noise in between. Manual placement lets you define exactly which two points matter for your analysis without fighting with sensitivity settings or waiting for confirmation.
The interactive placement system uses TradingView's built-in drawing tools, so clicking the two points feels natural and works the same way as drawing a trendline or fibonacci retracement. First click sets your starting point, second click sets your ending point, and the indicator immediately calculates the range and draws all the metallic levels extending from whichever point you chose as the origin. If you picked a swing low and then a swing high, you get retracement levels projecting upward. If you went from high to low, they project downward.
Moving the points after placement is as simple as grabbing one of them and dragging it to a new location. The retracement levels recalculate in real-time as you move the anchor points, which makes it easy to experiment with different range definitions and see how the levels shift. This is particularly useful when you're trying to figure out which swing points produce retracement levels that line up with other technical features like previous support or resistance zones. You can slide the points around until you find a configuration that makes sense for your analysis.
Adding the indicator to the chart multiple times lets you compare different metallic means on the same price range, or analyze multiple ranges simultaneously with different metallic numbers. You could have golden ratio retracements on one major swing and silver ratio retracements on a smaller correction within that swing. Since each instance of the indicator is independent, you can mix and match metallic numbers and ranges however you want without one interfering with the other.
The settings work the same way as the original script. You select which metallic number to use, control how many power ratios to display above and below the 1.0 level, and adjust how many complete retracement cycles you want drawn. The levels extend from your manually placed swing points just like they would from automatically detected pivots, showing you where price might react based on whichever metallic mean you've selected.
What this version emphasizes is that retracement analysis is subjective in terms of which swing points you consider significant. Automatic detection algorithms make assumptions about what constitutes a meaningful reversal, but those assumptions don't always match your interpretation of the price action. By giving you manual control over point placement, this tool lets you apply metallic retracement concepts to exactly the price ranges you care about, without requiring those ranges to fit someone else's definition of a valid swing. You define the context, the indicator provides the mathematical framework.
IPDA Ranges – Pro
### IPDA Ranges – Pro
**Overview**
The **IPDA Ranges – Pro** indicator brings the core concepts of the Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm (IPDA) from ICT (Inner Circle Trader) mentorship to life on TradingView. Inspired by ICT's foundational video on (www.youtube.com), this tool visualizes multi-period price ranges (20, 40, or 60 days) to decode institutional order flow, identify discount/premium zones, and highlight algorithmic price delivery points.
IPDA, as explained by ICT, is the "source code" behind market structure—grading ranges into quadrants to reveal high-probability support/resistance, fair value gaps, and liquidity draws. By anchoring on daily highs/lows, it filters noise, anticipates retracements, and aligns price action with time-based delivery (e.g., during key sessions like 10 AM–2 PM ET). This indicator automates the process, making it easier to spot "permissible" moves without manual charting.
**Key Features**
- **Dynamic Ranges**: Plots customizable IPDA periods (IPDA20, IPDA40, IPDA60) based on daily highest highs and lowest lows. Equilibrium (50% midpoint) acts as the core reference for mean reversion.
- **Quadrant Breakdown**: Divides each range into 25% steps—lower quadrant (deep discount), 25%/75% lines (consequent encroachment edges), and upper quadrant (premium). Optional subquadrants (12.5% steps) for finer granularity.
- **Visual Modes**:
- **Boxes**: Shade discount (below equilibrium) and premium (above) areas for intuitive zoning.
- **Lines**: Clean horizontal lines for highs, lows, equilibrium, and quadrants—ideal for lower timeframes.
- **Mid-Zone Highlight**: Optional shading of the 25%–75% "fair value" zone (customizable color/opacity) to flag balanced delivery areas where bodies often respect levels.
- **Info Table**: Choose from:
- **Table A**: Labels current price location as "Discount" or "Premium" per range (green for mid-zone).
- **Table B**: Shows distance from equilibrium in % (e.g., "52.3%") for precise positioning.
- **Customization**:
- Toggle labels (high/low, quadrants, prices), line styles (solid/dotted/dashed), extensions, and table position.
- Colors for discount/premium, equilibrium, and zones.
- Alerts for mid-zone entry/exit to catch order flow shifts.
- **Performance**: Runs efficiently on any timeframe/symbol, pulling daily data via `request.security` for accuracy.
**How It Works**
1. **Range Calculation**: For each selected period (e.g., IPDA20), it fetches the highest high and lowest low over the past N daily bars. Equilibrium = (High + Low) / 2.
2. **Zoning**:
- **Discount**: Below equilibrium (institutional buying opportunity).
- **Premium**: Above equilibrium (potential selling pressure).
- **Quadrants**: 25% (q1) and 75% (q3) lines mark edges of the "mid-zone," where price often consolidates or traps retail before directional runs.
3. **Plotting**: On the last bar, draws boxes/lines from the range start to current bar. Labels show levels (e.g., "IPDA20 High @ 1.2345").
4. **Usage Example**: On EURUSD daily, enable IPDA20. If price pierces a premium wick's low into the lower quadrant during a bullish shift (per ICT), expect a run to liquidity—use the table's % reading to gauge strength (e.g., <25% = deep discount buy). Transpose to 5-min for entries aligning with FVGs or order blocks.
**Trading Tips**
- **Higher Timeframe Bias**: Use on daily/4H for structure; drop to 1H/15M for entries. Focus on bodies (not wicks) respecting quadrants—wicks signal traps.
- **ICT Alignment**: Pair with PD Arrays (premium/discount wicks) or Market Maker models. In trends, extend to IPDA40/60; ignore extremes unless full reversals occur.
- **Risk Management**: Target liquidity pools at equal highs/lows. Avoid overleveraging—IPDA shines in 7–10 AM ET for optimal delivery. Backtest random 20-day periods to validate.
- **Best For**: Forex, indices (e.g., NAS100), commodities (e.g., Gold). Test on demo first.

Cyclical Phases of the Market🧭 Overview
“Cyclical Phases of the Market” automatically detects major market cycles by connecting swing lows and measuring the average number of bars between them.
Once it learns the rhythm of past cycles, it projects the next expected cycle (in time and price) using a dashed orange line and a forecast label.
In simple terms:
The indicator shows where the next potential low is statistically expected to occur, based on the timing and depth of previous cycles.
⚙️ Core Logic – Step by Step
1️⃣ Pivot Detection
The script uses the built-in ta.pivotlow() and ta.pivothigh() functions to find local turning points:
pivotLow marks a local swing low, defined by pivotLeft and pivotRight bars on each side.
Only confirmed lows are used to define the major cycle points.
Each new pivot low is stored in two arrays:
cycleLows → price level of the low
cycleBars → bar index where the low occurred
2️⃣ Cycle Identification and Drawing
Every time two consecutive swing lows are found, the indicator:
Calculates the number of bars between them (cycle length).
If that distance is greater than or equal to minCycleBars, it draws a teal line connecting the two lows — visually representing one complete cycle.
These teal lines form the historical cycle structure of the market.
3️⃣ Average Cycle Length
Once there are at least three completed cycles, the script calculates the average duration (mean number of bars between lows).
This value — avgCycleLength — represents the dominant periodicity or cycle rhythm of the market.
4️⃣ Forecasting the Next Cycle
When a valid average cycle length exists, the model projects the next expected cycle:
Time projection:
Adds avgCycleLength to the last cycle’s ending bar index to find where the next low should occur.
Price projection:
Estimates the vertical amplitude by taking the difference between the last two cycle lows (priceDiff).
Adds this same difference to the last low price to forecast the next probable low level.
The result is drawn as an orange dashed line extending into the future, representing the Next Expected Cycle.
5️⃣ Forecast Label
An orange label 🔮 appears at the projected future point showing:
Text:
🔮 Upcoming Cycle Forecast
Price:
The label marks the probable area and timing of the next cyclical low.
(Note: the date/time calculation currently multiplies bar count by 7 days, so it’s designed mainly for daily charts. On other timeframes, that conversion can be adapted.)
📊 How to Read It on the Chart
Visual Element Meaning Interpretation
Teal lines Completed historical cycles (low to low) Show actual periodic rhythm of the market
Orange dashed line Projection of the next expected cycle Anticipated path toward the next cyclical low
Orange label 🔮 Upcoming Cycle Forecast Displays expected price and bar location
Average cycle length Internal variable (bars between lows) Represents the dominant cycle period
📈 Interpretation
When teal segments show consistent spacing, the market is following a stable rhythm → cycles are predictable.
When cycle spacing shortens, the market is accelerating (volatility rising).
When it widens, the market is slowing down or entering accumulation.
The orange dashed line represents the next expected low zone:
If the market drops near this line → cyclical pattern confirmed.
If the market breaks well below → cycle amplitude has increased (trend weakening).
If the market rises above and delays → a new longer cycle may be forming.
🧠 Practical Use
Combine with oscillators (e.g., RSI or TSI) to confirm momentum alignment near projected lows.
Use in conjunction with volume to identify accumulation or exhaustion near the expected turning point.
Compare across timeframes: weekly cycles confirm long-term rhythm; daily cycles refine short-term entries.

Earnings Day - Price Predictor [DunesIsland]It's designed to analyze and visualize historical stock price movements on earnings report days, focusing on percentage changes.
Here's a breakdown of what it does, step by step:
Key Inputs and Setup
User Input: There's a single input for "Lookback Years" (default: 10), which determines how far back in time (approximately) the indicator analyzes earnings data. It uses a rough calculation of milliseconds in that period to filter historical data.
Data Fetching: It uses TradingView's request.earnings function to pull actual earnings per share (EPS) data for the current ticker. Earnings days are identified where EPS data exists on a bar but not on the previous one (to avoid duplicates).
Price Change Calculation: For each detected earnings day, it computes the percentage price movement as (close - close ) / close * 100, representing the change from the previous close to the current close on that day.
Processing and Calculations (on the Last Bar)
Lookback Filter: It calculates a cutoff timestamp for the lookback period and processes only earnings events within that window.
Overall Averages:
Separates positive (≥0%) and negative (<0%) percentage changes.
Seasonality (Next Quarter Prediction):
Identifies the most recent earnings quarter (latest_q).
Predicts the "next" quarter (e.g., if latest is Q4, next is Q1;
Again, separates positive and negative changes, computing their respective averages.
Visual Outputs
Lookback: How far to fetch the data in years.
Average Change (Green): Showing the average of all positive changes.
Average Change (Red): Showing the average of all negative changes.
Seasonality Change (Green): Showing the average of positive changes for the predicted next quarter.
Seasonality Change (Red): Showing the average of negative changes for the predicted next quarter.
Purpose and Usage
This indicator helps traders assess a stock's historical reaction to earnings announcements. The overall averages give a broad sense of typical gains/losses, while the seasonality focuses on quarter-specific trends to "predict" potential movement for the upcoming earnings (based on past same-quarter performance). It's best used on daily charts for stocks with reliable earnings data. Note that quarter inference is calendar-based and may not perfectly match fiscal calendars for all companies—it's an approximation.
Economic Cycle Signal (Pakistan)📊 Economic Cycle Signal (Pakistan)
This indicator overlays both the Pakistan Policy Rate (PKINTR) and the Pakistan Inflation Rate YoY (PKIRYY) directly onto your KSE or Pakistan market chart. It visually connects monetary policy and inflation dynamics with market performance, helping traders and analysts understand how shifts in economic conditions impact risk assets in Pakistan.
🔹 Key Features
• Plots the monthly Pakistan Policy Rate alongside your chart.

• Provides a clear traffic-light style signal for quick macro interpretation.
• Now includes dynamic inflation color logic based on the State Bank of Pakistan’s (SBP) 5–7% target range and thresholds for overheating or cooling inflation.
🔹 Inflation Line Color Logic (New)
The inflation line color dynamically reflects whether inflation is within or outside SBP’s target range, and whether it’s rising or falling:
Inflation Condition Interpretation Line Color
Inflation > 7% and Rising Inflation overheating (well above SBP target) 🔴 Red
Inflation > 7% and Falling Cooling off from high levels 💚 Lime
Inflation < 5% and Falling Disinflation / stable price environment 🟢 Green
Inflation < 5% and Rising Early inflation rebound 🟡 Yellow
This adaptive color logic mirrors the interest rate cycle signals, helping traders instantly interpret Pakistan’s inflation trajectory and anticipate potential monetary policy turning points.
🔹 How Traders & Analysts Can Use It
• Visualize Pakistan’s monetary policy cycles and inflation trends in real time.
• Identify supportive phases when rate cuts or low policy rates follow controlled inflation.
• Detect tightening cycles when inflation spikes and the SBP reacts with rate hikes, often creating headwinds for equities.
• Use as a macro compass to anticipate inflation pressure, potential policy actions, and shifts in market risk appetite.
• Combine with technical analysis, fundamentals, or macro indicators for deeper insights into Pakistan’s economic conditions.
🔹 Color Legend (Economic Phases)
🟩 Light Green → Recovery (Early Cycle)
• Rates: low or falling
• Inflation: low/stable
🟩 Green → Recession (Down Cycle)
• Rates: cut aggressively
• Inflation: falling
🟨 Yellow → Expansion (Mid Cycle)
• Rates: rising gradually
• Inflation: moderate
🟥 Red → Overheating (Late Cycle)
• Rates: high / rising fast

Economic Cycle Signal (USA)📊 Economic Cycle Signal (USA)
This indicator overlays both the U.S. Federal Reserve Funds Rate (Fed Funds) and the U.S. Inflation Rate YoY directly onto your stock market chart (e.g., S&P 500). It visually connects monetary policy and inflation dynamics with equity market performance, helping traders and analysts understand how macroeconomic shifts impact risk assets.
🔹 Key Features
• Plots the monthly U.S. Fed Funds Rate alongside your chart.
• Overlays the U.S. Inflation Rate YoY, offering a direct and realistic view of inflation pressure instead of CPI.
• Shades the background to reflect different economic cycle phases (recovery, recession, expansion, late cycle).
• Highlights how the stock market reacts during shifting monetary and inflationary conditions.
• Provides a clear traffic-light style signal for quick macro interpretation.
• Now includes dynamic inflation color logic based on the Fed’s 2% target and 5% threshold (explained below).
🔹 Inflation Line Color Logic (New)
The inflation line now changes color dynamically to show whether inflation is within or outside the Federal Reserve’s comfort zone, and whether it’s rising or falling:
Inflation Condition Interpretation Line Color
Inflation > 5% and Rising Inflation overheating (well above target) 🔴 Red
Inflation > 5% and Falling Cooling off from high levels 💚 Lime
Inflation < 5% and Falling Disinflation / stable price environment 🟢 Green
Inflation < 5% and Rising Early inflation rebound 🟡 Yellow
This color-coded logic mirrors the interest rate phase colors, giving traders an instant visual cue about inflationary pressure and possible policy turning points.
🔹 How Traders & Analysts Can Use It
• Visualize the interaction between U.S. monetary policy and inflation cycles in real time.
• Identify historically supportive phases when low or easing rates follow moderate inflation.
• Detect tightening cycles when inflation spikes first and the Fed reacts, signaling potential equity headwinds.
• Use as a macro compass to anticipate inflation pressure, policy changes, and market regime shifts.
• Combine with technical analysis, fundamentals, or leading indicators for deeper macro insights.
🔹 Color Legend (Economic Phases)
🟩 Light Green → Recovery (Early Cycle)
• Rates: low or falling
• Inflation: low/stable
🟩 Green → Recession (Down Cycle)
• Rates: cut aggressively
• Inflation: falling
🟨 Yellow → Expansion (Mid Cycle)
• Rates: rising gradually
• Inflation: moderate
🟥 Red → Overheating (Late Cycle)
• Rates: high / rising fast
• Inflation: high
🔹 Inflation Context
• Inflation typically leads the policy rate cycle, offering early insight into future Fed actions.
• The U.S. Inflation Rate YoY provides a direct measure of consumer price changes compared to the same month last year — a clearer gauge of inflation pressure than CPI.
• The new color logic helps visualize whether inflation is accelerating or cooling, relative to the Fed’s 2% target and 5% upper threshold.
• This dual-overlay makes it easy to interpret the cause (inflation) and effect (interest rate policy) in one synchronized chart.

Index of Civilization DevelopmentIndex of Civilization Development Indicator
This Pine Script (version 6) creates a custom technical indicator for TradingView, titled Index of Civilization Development. It generates a composite index by averaging normalized stock market performances from a selection of global country indices. The normalization is relative to each index's 100-period simple moving average (SMA), scaled to a percentage (100% baseline). This allows for a comparable "development" or performance metric across diverse markets, potentially highlighting trends in global economic or "civilizational" progress based on equity markets.The indicator plots as a single line in a separate pane (non-overlay) and is designed to handle up to 40 symbols to respect TradingView's request.security() call limits.Key FeaturesComposite Index Calculation: Fetches the previous bar's close (close ) and its 100-period SMA for each selected symbol.
Normalizes each: (close / SMA(100)) * 100.
Averages the valid normalizations (ignores invalid/NA data) to produce a single "Index (%)" value.
Symbol Selection Modes:Top N Countries: Selects from a predefined list of the top 50 global stock indices (by market cap/importance, e.g., SPX for USA, SHCOMP for China). Options: Top 5, 15, 25, or 50.
Democratic Countries: ~38 symbols from democracies (e.g., SPX, NI225, NIFTY; based on democracy indices ≥6/10, including flawed/parliamentary systems).
Dictatorships: ~12 symbols from authoritarian/hybrid regimes (e.g., SHCOMP, TASI, IMOEX; scores <6/10).
Customization:Line color (default: blue).
Line width (1-5, default: 2).
Line style: Solid line (default), Stepline, or Circles.
Data Handling:Uses request.security() with lookahead enabled for real-time accuracy, gaps off, and invalid symbol ignoring.
Runs calculations on every bar, with max_bars_back=2000 for historical depth.
Arrays are populated only on the first bar (barstate.isfirst) for efficiency.
Predefined Symbol Lists (Examples)Top 50: SPX (USA), SHCOMP (China), NI225 (Japan), ..., BAX (Bahrain).
Democratic: Focuses on free-market democracies like USA, Japan, UK, Canada, EU nations, Australia, etc.
Dictatorships: Authoritarian markets like China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Turkey, etc.
Usage TipsAdd to any chart (e.g., daily/weekly timeframe) to view the composite line.
Ideal for macro analysis: Compare democratic vs. authoritarian performance, or track "top world" equity health.
Potential Limitations: Relies on TradingView's symbol availability; some exotic indices (e.g., KWSEIDX) may fail if not supported. The 40-symbol cap prevents errors.
Interpretation: Values >100 indicate above-trend performance; <100 suggest underperformance relative to recent averages.
This script blends financial data with geopolitical categorization for a unique "civilization index" perspective on global markets. For modifications, ensure symbol tickers match TradingView's format.

Tristan's Devil Mark (Short / Long, with W%R)The Devil’s Mark indicator is a visual tool designed to help traders identify potential short and long opportunities based on candle structure and market momentum. It combines price action analysis with the Williams %R (W%R) oscillator to highlight candles with high potential for reversal or continuation.
Can be used on any timeline, from scalping day trades to swing trades on daily and higher timelines. Know that the higher the timeline the less likely the indicator will show. (Asia and London sessions tend to show many indicators. I find this more useful for NY session.)
How the script works
Candle Structure Conditions
Short (Sell) Wedge: Plotted above green candles that have no bottom wick, indicating that inside that candle there was strong upward momentum without downside hesitation .
Long (Buy) Wedge: Plotted below red candles that have no top wick, indicating that inside that candle there was strong downward momentum without upside hesitation .
These candles are visually emphasized as wedges to mark potential turning points.
Williams %R Filter
The indicator uses Williams %R to measure overbought and oversold conditions:
Proximity to 0 (nearZeroThresh): Determines how close W%R must be to 0 (overbought) to trigger a Sell Wedge. This acts as a “Sell sensitivity” filter.
Proximity to -100 (nearHundredThresh): Determines how close W%R must be to -100 (oversold) to trigger a Buy Wedge. This acts as a “Buy sensitivity” filter.
When the candle meets both the candle structure and the W%R condition, the wedge is plotted in purple (“Within W%R Range”).
When the "ignore W%R filter" toggle is on, all eligible candles are plotted regardless of W%R. Wedges that normally would not meet W%R criteria are plotted in light purple (“Outside W%R Range”) to distinguish them. #YOLO (🚫 I recommend leaving "Ignore W%R Filter" OFF)
Settings Explained
Williams %R Length: The number of bars used to calculate the W%R oscillator. Shorter lengths make it more sensitive; longer lengths smooth the readings.
Proximity to 0 / 100: Controls how “strict” the indicator is in requiring overbought or oversold W%R conditions to trigger. Lower values mean closer to extreme zones, higher values are more permissive.
Ignore W%R Toggle: Option to show Devil’s Marks on every eligible candle regardless of W%R. Useful for visualizing purely price-action-based signals.
What the trader sees
Purple wedges: Candles meeting both candle structure and W%R conditions.
Light purple wedges: Candles meeting candle structure but ignored W%R (when toggle is on). #YOLO (🚫 I recommend leaving "Ignore W%R Filter" OFF)
Short opportunities are wedges above bars (green candles with no bottom wick).
Long opportunities are wedges below bars (red candles with no top wick).
Trading Insight
The Devil’s Mark is a momentum and reversal alert tool:
Look for purple downward-pointing wedges when W%R is near overbought. This is a potential shorting opportunity. Buying at the close of that candle may improve your short trades.
Look for purple upward-pointing wedges when W%R is near oversold. This is a potential
long opportunity. Buying at the close of that candle may improve your long trades.
Light purple wedges show the same price-action cues without W%R confirmation—useful for aggressive traders who want every potential setup. #YOLO #YMMV #noFullPort
Settings / Security
The “Output values” checkbox appears for each plotted series (like a plot or plotshape) and controls whether the series will also be exposed numerically in the Data Window or used by other indicators/scripts.
Here’s what it means in practice:
1. Checked (true)
The series values (like candle high, low, or any computed value) are exported to the Data Window and can be read by other scripts using request.security() or ta functions.
Example: You can see the exact numerical value of each plotted point in the Data Window when you hover over the chart.
Useful if you want to backtest or reference these plotted values programmatically.
2. Unchecked (false)
The series is plotted visually only.
The numeric values are hidden from the Data Window and cannot be accessed by other scripts.
Makes the chart cleaner if you don’t need the numeric outputs.
