+ ATR Table and BracketsHi, all. I'm back with a new indicator—one I firmly believe could be one of the most valuable indicators you keep in your indicator toolshed—based around true range.
This is a simple, streamlined indicator utilizing true range and average true range that will help any trader with stoploss, trailing stoploss, and take-profit placement—things that I know many traders use average true range for. It could also be useful for trade entries as well, depending on the trader's style.
Typically, most traders (or at least what I've seen recommended across websites, video tutorials on YouTube, etc.) are taught to simply take the ATR number and use that, and possibly some sort of multiplier, as your stoploss and take-profit. This is fine, but I thought that it might be possible to dive a bit deeper into these values. Because an average is a combination of values, some higher, some lower, and we often see ATR spikes during periods of high volatility, I thought wouldn't it be useful to know what value those ATR spikes are, and how do they relate to the ATR? Then I thought to myself, well, what about the most volatile candle within that ATR (the candle with the greatest true range)? Couldn't knowing that value be useful to a trader? So then the idea of a table displaying these values, along with the ATR and the ATR times some multiplier number, would be a useful, simple way to display this information. That's what we have here.
The table is made up of two columns, one with the name of the metric being measured, and the other with its value. That's it. Simple.
As nice as this was, I thought an additional, great, and perhaps better, way to visualize this information would be in the form of brackets extending from the current bar. These are simply lines/labels plotted at the price values of the ATR, ATR times X, highest ATR, highest ATR times X, and highest TR value. These labels supply the actual values of the ATR, etc., but may also display the price if you should choose (both of these values are toggleable in the 'Inputs' section of the indicator.). Additionally, you can choose to display none of these labels, or all five if you wish (leaves the chart a bit cluttered, as shown in the image below), though I suspect you'll determine your preferences for which information you'd like to see and which not.
Chart with all five lines/labels displayed. I adjusted the ATRX value to 3 just to make the screenshot as legible as possible. Default is set to 1.5. As you can see, the label doesn't show the multiplier number, but the table does.
Here's a screenshot of the labels showing the price in addition to the value of the ATR, set to "Previous Closing Price," (see next paragraph for what that means) and highest TR. Personally, I don't see the value in the displaying the price, but I thought some people might want that. It's not available in the table as of now, but perhaps if I get enough requests for it I will add it.
That's basically it, but one last detail I need to go over is the dropdown box labeled "Bar Value ATR Levels are Oriented To." Firstly, this has no effect on Highest ATR, Highest ATRX, and Highest TR levels. Those are based on the ATR up to the last closed candle, meaning they aren't including the value of the currently open candle (this would be useless). However, knowing that different traders trade different ways it seemed to me prudent to allow for traders to select which opening or closing value the trader wishes to have the ATR brackets based on. For example, as someone who has consumed much No Nonsense Forex content I know that traders are urged to enter their trades in the last fifteen minutes of the trading day because the ATR is unlikely to change significantly in that period (ATR being the centerpiece of NNFX money management), so one of three selections here is to plot the brackets based on the ATR's inclusion of this value (this of course means the brackets will move while the candle is still open). The other options are to set the brackets to the current opening price, or the previous closing price. Depending on what you're trading many times these prices are virtually identical, but sometimes price gaps (stocks in particular), so, wanting your brackets placed relative to the previous close as opposed to the current open might be preferable for some traders.
And that's it. I really hope you guys like this indicator. I haven't seen anything closely similar to it on TradingView, and I think it will be something you all will find incredibly handy.
Please enjoy!

Momentum Regression [BackQuant]Momentum Regression
The Momentum Regression is an advanced statistical indicator built to empower quants, strategists, and technically inclined traders with a robust visual and quantitative framework for analyzing momentum effects in financial markets. Unlike traditional momentum indicators that rely on raw price movements or moving averages, this tool leverages a volatility-adjusted linear regression model (y ~ x) to uncover and validate momentum behavior over a user-defined lookback window.
Purpose & Design Philosophy
Momentum is a core anomaly in quantitative finance — an effect where assets that have performed well (or poorly) continue to do so over short to medium-term horizons. However, this effect can be noisy, regime-dependent, and sometimes spurious.
The Momentum Regression is designed as a pre-strategy analytical tool to help you filter and verify whether statistically meaningful and tradable momentum exists in a given asset. Its architecture includes:
Volatility normalization to account for differences in scale and distribution.
Regression analysis to model the relationship between past and present standardized returns.
Deviation bands to highlight overbought/oversold zones around the predicted trendline.
Statistical summary tables to assess the reliability of the detected momentum.
Core Concepts and Calculations
The model uses the following:
Independent variable (x): The volatility-adjusted return over the chosen momentum period.
Dependent variable (y): The 1-bar lagged log return, also adjusted for volatility.
A simple linear regression is performed over a large lookback window (default: 1000 bars), which reveals the slope and intercept of the momentum line. These values are then used to construct:
A predicted momentum trendline across time.
Upper and lower deviation bands , representing ±n standard deviations of the regression residuals (errors).
These visual elements help traders judge how far current returns deviate from the modeled momentum trend, similar to Bollinger Bands but derived from a regression model rather than a moving average.
Key Metrics Provided
On each update, the indicator dynamically displays:
Momentum Slope (β₁): Indicates trend direction and strength. A higher absolute value implies a stronger effect.
Intercept (β₀): The predicted return when x = 0.
Pearson’s R: Correlation coefficient between x and y.
R² (Coefficient of Determination): Indicates how well the regression line explains the variance in y.
Standard Error of Residuals: Measures dispersion around the trendline.
t-Statistic of β₁: Used to evaluate statistical significance of the momentum slope.
These statistics are presented in a top-right summary table for immediate interpretation. A bottom-right signal table also summarizes key takeaways with visual indicators.
Features and Inputs
✅ Volatility-Adjusted Momentum : Reduces distortions from noisy price spikes.
✅ Custom Lookback Control : Set the number of bars to analyze regression.
✅ Extendable Trendlines : For continuous visualization into the future.
✅ Deviation Bands : Optional ±σ multipliers to detect abnormal price action.
✅ Contextual Tables : Help determine strength, direction, and significance of momentum.
✅ Separate Pane Design : Cleanly isolates statistical momentum from price chart.
How It Helps Traders
📉 Quantitative Strategy Validation:
Use the regression results to confirm whether a momentum-based strategy is worth pursuing on a specific asset or timeframe.
🔍 Regime Detection:
Track when momentum breaks down or reverses. Slope changes, drops in R², or weak t-stats can signal regime shifts.
📊 Trade Filtering:
Avoid false positives by entering trades only when momentum is both statistically significant and directionally favorable.
📈 Backtest Preparation:
Before running costly simulations, use this tool to pre-screen assets for exploitable return structures.
When to Use It
Before building or deploying a momentum strategy : Test if momentum exists and is statistically reliable.
During market transitions : Detect early signs of fading strength or reversal.
As part of an edge-stacking framework : Combine with other filters such as volatility compression, volume surges, or macro filters.
Conclusion
The Momentum Regression indicator offers a powerful fusion of statistical analysis and visual interpretation. By combining volatility-adjusted returns with real-time linear regression modeling, it helps quantify and qualify one of the most studied and traded anomalies in finance: momentum.

sesTime6 = time("","1300-1700", example6) // returns the UNIX time of the current bar in session time or na
Parameter Format Guide
This section explains how to properly format the parameters for the tz(_tzname, _format) function.
_tzname (string) must be either;
A valid timezone name exactly as it appears in the chart’s lower-right corner (e.g. New York, London).
A valid UTC offset in ±H:MM or ±HH:MM format. Hours: 0–14 (zero-padded or not, e.g. +1:30, +01:30, -0:00). Minutes: Must be 00, 15, 30, or 45
examples;
"New York" → ✅ Valid chart label
"London" → ✅ Valid chart label
"Berlin" → ✅ Valid chart label
"America/New York" → ❌ Invalid chart label. (Use "New York" instead)
"+1:30" → ✅ Valid offset with single-digit hour
"+01:30" → ✅ Valid offset with zero-padded hour
"-05:00" → ✅ Valid negative offset
"-0:00" → ✅ Valid zero offset
"+1:1" → ❌ Invalid (minute must be 00, 15, 30, or 45)
"+2:50" → ❌ Invalid (minute must be 00, 15, 30, or 45)
"+15:00" → ❌ Invalid (hour must be 14 or below)
_tztype (string) must be either;
"IANA" → returns full IANA timezone identifier (e.g. "Europe/London"). When a time function call uses an IANA time zone identifier for its timezone argument, its calculations adjust automatically for historical and future changes to the specified region’s observed time, such as daylight saving time (DST) and updates to time zone boundaries, instead of using a fixed offset from UTC.
"UTC" → returns UTC offset string (e.g. "UTC+01:00")
Normalized Volume IndexIn the realm of technical analysis, volume is more than just a measure of market activity—it’s a window into trader psychology. Two classic indicators that harness this insight are the Positive Volume Index (PVI) and Negative Volume Index (NVI). Developed in the early 20th century by Paul L. Dysart and later refined by Norman G. Fosback in 1976, these tools aim to distinguish between the behavior of the so-called “smart money” and the broader market crowd.
- Positive Volume Index (PVI) tracks price changes only on days when trading volume increases. It assumes that rising volume reflects the actions of less-informed retail traders—those who follow the herd.
- Negative Volume Index (NVI), on the other hand, focuses on days when volume decreases, under the premise that institutional investors (the “smart money”) are more active when the market is quiet.
This dichotomy allows traders to interpret market sentiment through the lens of volume behavior. For example, a rising NVI during a price uptrend may suggest that institutional investors are quietly accumulating positions—often a bullish signal.
Traders use PVI and NVI to:
- Confirm trends: If NVI is above its moving average, it often signals a strong underlying trend supported by smart money.
- Spot reversals: Divergences between price and either index can hint at weakening momentum or upcoming reversals.
- Gauge participation: PVI rising faster than price may indicate overenthusiastic retail buying—potentially a contrarian signal.
These indicators are often paired with moving averages (e.g., 255-day EMA) to generate actionable signals. Fosback’s research suggested that when NVI is above its one-year EMA, there’s a high probability of a bull market.
While PVI and NVI are cumulative indices, normalizing them—for example, by rebasing to 100 or converting to percentage changes—offers several benefits:
- Comparability: Normalized indices can be compared across different assets or timeframes.
- Clarity: It becomes easier to visualize relative strength or weakness.
- Backtesting: Normalized values are more suitable for algorithmic strategies and statistical analysis.
Normalization also helps when combining PVI/NVI with other indicators in multi-factor models, ensuring no single metric dominates due to scale differences
In essence, PVI and NVI offer a nuanced view of market dynamics by separating the noise of volume surges from the quiet confidence of institutional moves. When normalized and interpreted correctly, they become powerful allies in a trader’s decision-making toolkit.
How to use this (Educational material):
For instance, on average, when the Negative Volume Index (NVI) remains above its midline, the market tends to trend positively, reflecting consistent institutional participation. However, when the NVI dips and stays below the midline, it often signals a negative trend, indicating that smart money is stepping away or reducing exposure.
Another telling scenario occurs when the Positive Volume Index (PVI) drops below the NVI. While this might coincide with a brief price dip, institutions often interpret this as an opportunity to buy the dip, quietly accumulating positions while retail participants exit in panic. The result? A market recovery driven by smart money.
Conversely, when the PVI consistently remains above the NVI, it may point to retail enthusiasm outpacing institutional support. This imbalance can flag a tired or overextended trend, where the smart money has already positioned itself defensively. When this pattern persists, there's a high likelihood that institutions will pull the plug, leading to a pronounced trend reversal.
Logarithmic Moving Average (LMA) [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Logarithmic Moving Average (LMA) uses advanced logarithmic weighting to create a dynamic trend-following indicator that prioritizes recent price action while maintaining statistical significance. Unlike traditional moving averages that use linear or exponential weights, this indicator employs logarithmic decay functions to create a more sophisticated price averaging system that adapts to market volatility and momentum conditions.
The indicator displays a smoothed signal line that oscillates around zero, with positive values indicating bullish momentum and negative values indicating bearish momentum. The signal incorporates trend quality assessment, momentum confirmation, and multiple filtering mechanisms to help traders and investors identify trend continuation and reversal opportunities across different timeframes and asset classes.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator's core innovation lies in its logarithmic weighting system, where weights are calculated using the formula: w = 1.0 / math.pow(math.log(i + steepness), 2) The steepness parameter controls how aggressively recent data is prioritized over historical data, creating a dynamic weight decay that can be fine-tuned for different trading styles. This logarithmic approach provides more nuanced weight distribution compared to exponential moving averages, offering better responsiveness while maintaining stability.
The LMA calculation combines multiple sophisticated components. First, it calculates the logarithmic weighted average of closing prices. Then it measures the slope of this average over a 10-period lookback: lmaSlope = (lma - lma ) / lma * 100 The system also incorporates trend quality assessment using R-squared correlation analysis of log-transformed prices, measuring how well the price data fits a linear trend model over the specified period.
The final signal generation uses the formula: signal = lmaSlope * (0.5 + rSquared * 0.5) which combines the LMA slope with trend quality weighting. When momentum confirmation is enabled, the indicator calculates annualized log-return momentum and applies a multiplier when the momentum direction aligns with the signal direction, strengthening confirmed signals while filtering out weak or counter-trend movements.
🟢 How to Use
1. Signal Interpretation and Threshold Zones
Positive Values (Above Zero): LMA slope indicating bullish momentum with upward price trajectory relative to logarithmic baseline
Negative Values (Below Zero): LMA slope indicating bearish momentum with downward price trajectory relative to logarithmic baseline
Zero Line Crosses: Signal transitions between bullish and bearish regimes, indicating potential trend changes
Long Entry Threshold Zone: Area above positive threshold (default 0.5) indicating confirmed bullish signals suitable for long positions
Short Entry Threshold Zone: Area below negative threshold (default -0.5) indicating confirmed bearish signals suitable for short positions
Extreme Values: Signals exceeding ±1.0 represent strong momentum conditions with higher probability of continuation
2. Momentum Confirmation and Visual Analysis
Signal Color Intensity: Gradient coloring shows signal strength, with brighter colors indicating stronger momentum
Bar Coloring: Optional price bar coloring matches signal direction for quick visual trend identification
Position Labels: Real-time position classification (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral) displayed on the latest bar
Momentum Weight Factor: When short-term log-return momentum aligns with LMA signal direction, the signal receives additional weight confirmation
Trend Quality Component: R-squared values weight the signal strength, with higher correlation indicating more reliable trend conditions
3. Examples: Preconfigured Settings
Default: Universally applicable configuration balanced for medium-term investing and general trading across multiple timeframes and asset classes.
Scalping: Highly responsive setup with shorter period and higher steepness for ultra-short-term trades on 1-15 minute charts, optimized for quick momentum shifts.
Swing Trading: Extended period with moderate steepness and increased smoothing for multi-day positions, designed to filter noise while capturing larger price swings on 1-4 hour and daily charts.
Trend Following: Maximum smoothing with lower steepness for established trend identification, generating fewer but more reliable signals optimal for daily and weekly timeframes.
Mean Reversion: Shorter period with high steepness for counter-trend strategies, more sensitive to extreme moves and reversal opportunities in ranging market conditions.
XAU/USD Lot Size CalculatorThis indicator automatically calculates the optimal lot size for XAUUSD (gold) based on the level of risk the trader wants to take. It is designed for traders using MetaTrader 4 or 5 and helps adjust position size according to the specific volatility of gold. The user can set the percentage of capital they are willing to risk on a single trade, for example 1%. The indicator also takes into account the stop loss level, which can be entered in pips or in dollars, as well as the account size (balance or equity).
Based on these parameters, it calculates the exact lot size that matches the risk amount. It then displays on the chart the recommended lot size, the risk amount in dollars, the pip value for XAUUSD, and a confirmation of the stop loss level. This type of indicator is useful for maintaining disciplined risk management and avoiding position sizing errors, especially on a highly volatile asset like gold.

VegaAlgo – Rating ViewVegaAlgo – Rating View is a market condition analysis tool designed to evaluate the current price structure.
The indicator calculates a RATING (from 0 to 100) that reflects how clean, directional, and structured the recent price movement is. The rating is based on the number of price direction changes (from bullish to bearish candles and vice versa) within a selected period. Fewer direction changes indicate a clearer trend and result in a higher rating, while a choppy or highly volatile market leads to a lower score.
Additionally, the indicator provides directional signals on three key timeframes — 1M, 5M, and 15M, using a comparison of fast and slow moving averages. This allows traders to quickly assess the dominant trend both locally and across higher timeframes.

Dynamic Volatility Channel (DVC) - Smooth
The indicator's adaptability comes from a unique blend of well-known concepts:
The Adaptive Engine (ADX): The indicator uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) in the background to analyze the strength of the trend. This acts as the "brain", telling the channel whether the market is trending strongly or moving sideways.
Hybrid Volatility: This is the core of the indicator. The width of the channel is determined by a weighted mix of two volatility measures:
In trending markets (high ADX), the channel gives more weight to the Average True Range (ATR).
In ranging markets (low ADX), the channel gives more weight to Standard Deviation.
Smooth Centerline (HMA): The channel is centered around a Hull Moving Average (HMA), which is known for its smoothness and reduced lag compared to other moving averages.
Advanced Smoothing Layers: This version includes dedicated smoothing for both the volatility components (ATR and StDev) and the logic that switches between regimes. This ensures the channel expands, contracts, and adapts in a very fluid manner, eliminating sudden jumps and reducing market noise.
Mean Reversion: In ranging markets (indicated by a flatter channel), the outer bands can act as dynamic support and resistance levels. Look for opportunities to sell near the upper band and buy near the lower band, always waiting for price action confirmation like reversal candles.
Trend Following: In strong trends (indicated by a steeply sloped channel), the centerline (HMA) often serves as a dynamic level of support (in an uptrend) or resistance (in a downtrend). Pullbacks to the centerline can present opportunities to join the trend. A "band ride," where price action consistently pushes against the upper or lower band, signals a very strong trend.
Volatility Analysis: A "squeeze," where the bands come very close together, indicates low volatility and can foreshadow a significant price breakout. A sudden expansion of the bands signals an increase in volatility and the potential start of a new, powerful move.
All core parameters are fully customizable to suit your trading style and preferred assets:
You can adjust the lengths for the HMA, ATR, StDev, and the ADX filter.
You can change the multipliers for the ATR and Standard Deviation components.
Crucially, you can control the Volatility Smoothing Length and Logic Smoothing Length to find the perfect balance between responsiveness and smoothness.

Volatility & Momentum Nexus (VMN)Volatility & Momentum Nexus (VMN)
This indicator was designed to solve a common trader's problem: chart clutter from dozens of indicators that often contradict each other. The Volatility & Momentum Nexus ( VMN ) is not just another indicator; it's a complete analysis system that synthesizes four essential market pillars into a single, clean, and intuitive visual signal.
The goal of VMN is to identify high-probability moments where a period of accumulation (low volatility) is about to erupt into an explosive move, confirmed by trend, momentum, and volume.
VMN analyzes the real-time confluence of four critical elements:
The Trend (The Main Filter): A 100-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) sets the overall context. The indicator will only look for buy signals above this line (in an uptrend) and sell signals below it (in a downtrend). The line's color changes for quick visualization.
Volatility (Energy Accumulation): Using Bollinger Bands Width (BBW), the indicator identifies "Squeeze" periods—when the price contracts and builds up energy. These zones are marked with a yellow background on the chart, signaling that a major move is imminent.
Momentum (The Trigger): An RSI (Relative Strength Index) acts as the trigger. A signal is only validated if momentum confirms the direction of the breakout (e.g., RSI > 55 for a buy), ensuring we enter the market with force.
Volume (The Final Confirmation): No breakout move is credible without volume. VMN checks if the volume at the time of the signal is significantly higher than its recent average, adding a vital layer of confirmation.
Green Arrow (Buy Signal): Appears ONLY when ALL the following conditions are met simultaneously:
Price is above the 100 EMA (Bullish Trend).
The chart is exiting a Squeeze zone (yellow background on the previous bar).
Price breaks above the upper Bollinger Band.
RSI is above the buy threshold (default 55).
Volume is above average.
Red Arrow (Sell Signal): Appears ONLY when all the opposite conditions are met.
Do not treat signals as blind commands to trade. They are high-probability confirmations.
Look for signals near key Support/Resistance levels for an even higher success rate.
Always set a Stop Loss (e.g., below the low of the signal candle or below the lower Bollinger Band for a buy).
All parameters (EMA, RSI, Bollinger Bands lengths, thresholds, etc.) can be customized from the settings menu to adapt the indicator to any financial asset or timeframe.
Disclaimer: This indicator is a tool for educational and analytical purposes. It does not constitute and should not be interpreted as financial advice. Trading involves significant risk. Always perform your own analysis and backtesting before risking real capital.
Iceberg DetectorThis Pine-script indicator helps you spot potential “iceberg” order activity by highlighting bars where volume spikes well above its average while price movement remains unusually muted. It’s purely a heuristic—no true bid/ask or futures order‐flow data is used—so treat every signal as an invitation to investigate, not as a standalone buy/sell trigger.
How It Works • Volume vs. Volume-SMA: The script compares each bar’s total volume to an N-bar simple moving average. • Price Movement vs. Movement-SMA: It measures the bar’s percent change (|close–open|/open×100) against its own N-bar SMA. • Sensitivity Slider: From 1 (loose filter) to 10 (strict filter), you control how extreme the volume spike (and muted move) must be to fire a signal. • Pivot-Style Extremes Filter: Short signals only appear when price is at or very near a recent local high, and long signals only when price is at or very near a recent local low. This dramatically cuts down “noise” on lower timeframes—script execution halts on intraday charts below 1 H.
How to Use
Apply to an hourly (or higher) chart.
Tweak “Length” parameters for your preferred look-back on volume and movement SMAs.
Adjust “Sensitivity” from 1 (more signals, weaker divergences) up to 10 (very rare, extreme divergences).
Watch for red triangles above bars (Iceberg-Short) and green triangles below (Iceberg-Long).
Important Disclaimers • This is NOT a genuine order-flow or footprint tool—it only approximates delta by bar direction. • Always contextualize Short signals near the lower end of a range or support zone, and Long signals near the upper end of a range or resistance zone. • Use additional confirmation (price patterns, larger-timeframe pivots, traditional volume/price analysis) before risking real capital.
By combining volume spikes with muted price action at range extremes, you gain a fresh lens on where hidden large orders might be lurking—without needing a dedicated order-flow feed. Use it as an idea‐generator, not as gospel

cd_secret_candlestick_patterns_CxHi traders,
With this indicator, we aim to uncover secret candlestick formations that even advanced traders may miss—especially those that can't be detected by classic pattern indicators, unless you're a true master of candlestick patterns or candle math.
________________________________________
General Idea:
We'll try to identify candlestick patterns by regrouping candles into custom-sized segments that you define.
You might ask: “Why do I need this? I can just look at different timeframes and spot the structure anyway.” But it’s not the same.
For example, if you're using a 1-minute chart and add a higher-timeframe candle overlay (like 5-minute), the candles you see start at fixed timestamps like 0, 5, 10, etc.
However, in this indicator, we redraw new candles by grouping them from the current candle backward in batches of five.
These candles won't match the standard view—only when aligned with exact time multiples (e.g., 0 and 5 minutes) will they look the same.
In classic charts:
• You see 5-minute candles that begin every 0 and 5 minutes.
In this tool:
• You see a continuously updating set of 5 merged 1-minute candles redrawn every minute.
What about the structures forming in between those fixed timeframes?
That’s exactly what we’ll be able to detect—while also making the lower timeframe chart more readable.
________________________________________
Candle Merging:
Let’s continue with an example.
Assume we choose to merge 5 candles. Then the new candle will be formed using:
open = open
close = close
high = math.max(high , high , high , high , high)
low = math.min(low , low , low , low , low)
This logic continues backward on the chart, creating merged candles in groups of 5.
Since the selected patterns are made up of 3, 4, or 5 candles, we redraw 5 such merged candles to analyze.
________________________________________
Which Patterns Are Included?
A total of 18 bullish and bearish patterns are included.

You can find the pattern list and visual reference here:
________________________________________
Entry and Filtering Suggestions:
Let me say this clearly:
Entering a trade every time a pattern forms will not make you profitable in the long run.
You need a clear trade plan and should only act when you can answer questions like:
• Where did the pattern appear?
• When and under what conditions?
It’s more effective to trade in the direction of the trend and look for setups around support/resistance, supply/demand zones, key levels, or areas confirmed by other indicators.
Whether you enter immediately after the pattern or wait for a retest is a personal choice—but risk management is non-negotiable.
One of the optional filters I’ve included is a Higher Timeframe (HTF) condition, which is my personal preference:
When enabled, the highest or lowest price among the pattern candles must match the high or low of the current HTF candle.
You can see in the image below the decrease in the number of detected patterns on the 1-minute chart when using no filter (blue labels) compared to when the 1-hour timeframe filter is applied (red labels).
Additionally, I’ve added a “protected” condition for engulfing patterns to help filter out weak classic engulf patterns.
________________________________________
Settings:
From the menu, you can configure:
• Number of candles for regrouping
• Distance between the last candle and newly drawn candles
• Show/hide options
• HTF filter toggle and timeframe selection
• Color, label placement, and text customization
• Pattern list (select which to display or trigger alerts for)
My preferred setup:
While trading on the 1-minute chart, I typically set the higher timeframe to 15m or 1H, and switch the candle count between 2 and 3 depending on the situation.
⚠️ Important note:
The “Show” and “Alert” options are controlled by a single command.
Alerts are automatically created for any pattern you choose to display.
________________________________________
What’s Next?
In future updates, I plan to add:
• Pattern success rate statistics
• Multi-broker confirmation for pattern validation
Lastly, keep in mind:
The more candles a pattern is based on, the more reliable it may be.
I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions.
Cheerful trading! 🕊️📈

Smart strength detection logic using volume, candle size, and moving average crossovers
Bullish and bearish crossover signals marked on chart
Customizable anchor and lower timeframes for flexible analysis
Alerts users when data vendor does not supply volume information
This script is particularly useful for identifying institutional buying/selling pressure and can be used effectively in both trend-following and mean-reversion strategies.
Currency Volatility Index (CVI)This Currency Volatility Index (CVI) indicator aggregates the realized volatility of the eight “major” FX pairs into a single, tradable series—much like an FX-version of the VIX. Here’s what it does step by step:
Inputs & Settings
• Volatility Length (default 20 days): the lookback over which daily log-returns’ standard deviation is computed.
• Data Timeframe (default Daily): the resolution at which price data is fetched for each pair.
• Smoothing Length (default 5): the period of a simple moving average applied to the raw, averaged volatility (in %).
Pair-by-Pair Volatility Calculation
For each hard-coded symbol (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, USDCHF, AUDUSD, USDCAD, NZDUSD, EURGBP):
Pull the series of daily closes.
Compute the series of log-returns: ln(today’s close / yesterday’s close).
Calculate the standard deviation of those log-returns over your lookback.
Annualize it (×√252) to convert daily volatility into an annualized figure.
Aggregation
The eight annualized volatilities are averaged (equal weights).
The resulting number is then multiplied by 100 to express it as a percentage.
Smoothing & Plotting
A simple moving average over the aggregated volatility smooths out spikes.
The smoothed CVI (%) is plotted as a standalone line below price charts.
Visualization Aids
A small table in the top-right corner shows each pair’s current volatility in percent.
A dynamic label on the final bar prints the latest CVI value directly on the chart.
Why use it?
Gives a one-stop measure of overall FX market turbulence.
Helps you compare “quiet” vs. “volatile” regimes across currencies.
ICT Setup 04 [TradingFinder] SFP Sweep Liquidity Fake CHoCH/BOS🔵 Introduction
In smart money and ICT based trading, liquidity is never random. Some of the most meaningful market moves begin with a liquidity sweep where price intentionally hunts a previous swing high or swing low to trigger stop loss orders and absorb volume.
This manipulation is often followed by a sharp reversal from a reaction zone, creating ideal conditions for a high probability entry. This indicator is built to detect exactly that. It identifies a valid swing point and defines a reaction zone where price is likely to react.
For short setups, the zone lies between the swing high and the maximum of the candle’s open or close. For long setups, it’s drawn from the swing low to the minimum of the open or close.
When price returns to this zone and forms a qualified confirmation candle typically a doji or a small bodied candle that closes inside the zone while sweeping the liquidity this is a potential sign of reversal.
The candle must show both the sweep and the inability to hold above or below the key level, signaling a fake breakout or failed move. By combining elements of liquidity hunt, reaction zone rejection, and candle based entry confirmation, this tool highlights sniper entry points used by smart money to trap retail traders and reverse the trend. It helps filter out noise and enhances timing, making it ideal for trading in alignment with institutional order flow.

Short Position :
🔵 How to Use
This indicator is designed to highlight precise moments where price sweeps liquidity and reacts within a high probability reversal zone. By identifying clean swing highs and lows and defining a smart reaction zone around them, it filters out weak fakeouts and focuses only on setups with strong institutional footprints.
The tool works best when combined with market structure analysis and is suitable for both scalping and intraday trading. Below is a breakdown of how to interpret the signals for long and short positions based on the visual setups provided.
🟣 Long Setup
In a long setup, the indicator first detects a valid swing low where liquidity has likely accumulated below. A reaction zone is then drawn between the swing low and the minimum of the open or close of the swing candle.
When price returns to this zone, it must sweep the previous low and form a precise confirmation candle, such as a doji or a small bodied candle, that closes inside the zone. This candle must also reject the lower level, showing failure to continue downward.
As shown in the chart, once the liquidity grab is complete and the confirmation candle forms, a clean long signal is issued, indicating a potential bullish reversal backed by smart money behavior.
🟣 Short Setup
In a short setup, the indicator identifies a swing high where buy-side liquidity is resting. It then constructs a reaction zone between the high and the maximum of the open or close of the swing candle. Price must return to this zone, sweep the swing high, and form a bearish confirmation candle inside the zone.
A classic example is a doji or rejection candle that traps breakout buyers and fails to hold above the previous high. In the provided chart, the price aggressively hunts the liquidity above the swing high, but the close within the reaction zone signals exhaustion, prompting a short signal with high reversal probability.
These setups represent moments where price action, liquidity behavior, and candle structure align to offer strong entries. By focusing on clean sweeps and reactive confirmations, the indicator helps traders stay on the side of smart money and avoid common breakout traps.

🔵 Conclusion
This indicator is built for traders who rely on liquidity driven setups and smart money principles. By combining swing structure analysis with precision reaction zones and strict entry confirmation, it isolates the exact moments where price sweeps liquidity and fails to continue. These are high value points where institutional activity often reveals itself, and retail traps unfold.
Unlike generic breakout tools, this script focuses on quality over quantity by requiring both a sweep of a swing high or low and a confirmed rejection candle that closes inside a predefined zone. With customizable swing depth, proximity filters, visual highlights, and alert functions, it offers a complete framework for identifying and acting on fake breakouts with confidence. Whether you trade forex, crypto, or indices, this tool enhances your ability to align with true order flow and take entries where liquidity is most likely to shift.

Simple Multi-Timeframe Trends with RSI (Realtime)Simple Multi-Timeframe Trends with RSI Realtime Updates
Overview
The Simple Multi-Timeframe Trends with RSI Realtime Updates indicator is a comprehensive dashboard designed to give you an at-a-glance understanding of market trends across nine key timeframes, from one minute (M1) to one month (M).
It moves beyond simple moving average crossovers by calculating a sophisticated Trend Score for each timeframe. This score is then intelligently combined into a single, weighted Confluence Signal , which adapts to your personal trading style. With integrated RSI and divergence detection, SMTT provides a powerful, all-in-one tool to confirm your trade ideas and stay on the right side of the market.
Key Features
Automatic Trading Presets: The most powerful feature of the script. Simply select your trading style, and the indicator will automatically adjust all internal parameters for you:
Intraday: Uses shorter moving averages and higher sensitivity, focusing on lower timeframe alignment for quick moves.
Swing Trading: A balanced preset using medium-term moving averages, ideal for capturing trends that last several days or weeks.
Investment: Uses long-term moving averages and lower sensitivity, prioritizing the major trends on high timeframes.
Advanced Trend Scoring: The trend for each timeframe isn't just "up" or "down". The score is calculated based on a combination of:
Price vs. Moving Average: Is the price above or below the MA?
MA Slope: Is the trend accelerating or decelerating? A steep slope indicates a strong trend.
Price Momentum: How quickly has the price moved recently?
Volatility Adjustment: The score's quality is adjusted based on current market volatility (using ATR) to filter out choppy conditions.
Weighted Confluence Score: The script synthesizes the trend scores from all nine timeframes into a single, actionable signal. The weights are dynamically adjusted based on your selected Trading Style , ensuring the most relevant timeframes have the most impact on the final result.
Integrated RSI & Divergence: Each timeframe includes a smoothed RSI value to help you spot overbought/oversold conditions. It also flags potential bullish (price lower, RSI higher) and bearish (price higher, RSI lower) divergences, which can be early warnings of a trend reversal.
Clean & Customizable Dashboard: The entire analysis is presented in a clean, easy-to-read table on your chart. You can choose its position and optionally display the raw numerical scores for a deeper analysis.
How to Use It
1. Add to Chart: Apply the "Simple Multi-Timeframe Trends" indicator to your chart.
2. Select Your Style: This is the most important step. Go to the indicator settings and choose the Trading Style that best fits your strategy (Intraday, Swing Trading, or Investment). All calculations will instantly adapt.
3. Analyze the Dashboard:
Look at the Trend row to see the direction and strength of the trend on individual timeframes. Strong alignment (e.g., all green or all red) indicates a powerful, market-wide move.
Check the RSI row. Is the trend overextended (RSI > 60) or is there room to run? Look for the fuchsia color, which signals a divergence and warrants caution.
Focus on the Signal row. This is your summary. A "STRONG SIGNAL" with high alignment suggests a high-probability setup. A "NEUTRAL" or "Weak" signal suggests waiting for a better opportunity.
4. Confirm Your Trades: Use the SMTT dashboard as a confirmation tool. For example, if you are looking for a long entry, wait for the dashboard to show a "BULLISH" or "STRONG SIGNAL" to confirm that the broader market structure supports your trade.
