Dragon-Bot - Default ScriptDragon-Script is a framework to make it as easy as possible to test your own strategies and set alerts for external execution bots. This is the alerts version of the script.
The script has many features build in, like:
1) A ping/pong mechanism between longs and shorts
2) A stop-loss
3) Trailing Stops with several ways to calculate them.
4) 2 different ways to flip from long to short.
The script is divided into several parts.
The first part of the script is used to set all the variables. You should normally never change the first part except for the comments at the top.
The second part of the script is the part where you initialise all your indicators. Several indicators can be found on Tradingview and on other sites. Please keep in mind that all the variable names used in the indicator should be unique. (all the … = … parts)
The third part of the script, is the most important part of the script. Here you can create the entry and exit points.
Let’s look at the OPENLONG function to explain this part: The first variables are all the possible entries; These are longentry1 till longentry5. You can add many more if you like.
The variables are all initialised as being false. This way the script can set a value to true if an entry happens.
The if function is the actual logic: You could say “if this is true” then (the line below the if function) longentry1 := (becomes) true.
In this case we have said: “if this is true” then (the line below the if function) longentry1 := (becomes) true when the current close is larger than the close that is 1 back.
The last part is the makelong_funct. This part says that if any of the entries are true, the whole function is true.
The last part of the script is the actual execution. Here the alerts are plotted and the back test strategies are opened and closed.
We hope you guys like it and all feedback is welcome!

[blackcat] L2 Six Round Positioning█ OVERVIEW
The script is an indicator designed to plot the direction (up, down, no change) of several moving averages (MA) on a separate chart, without overlaying the price data. It calculates Simple Moving Averages (SMA) for 3, 5, 8, 34, 60, 120, and 250 periods and uses conditional logic to determine the color and position of the plotted columns based on whether each MA is increasing, decreasing, or unchanged.
█ LOGICAL FRAMEWORK
The script is structured into three main sections:
1 — Input Parameters: None explicitly defined, but the script uses default settings for the indicator function.
2 — Calculations: Computes Simple Moving Averages (SMA) for seven different periods.
3 — Plotting: Uses conditional logic to plot columns representing the direction of each MA, with positions and colors indicating whether the MA is increasing, decreasing, or unchanged.
The flow of data is straightforward: the script calculates the SMAs, determines their direction, sets the appropriate color, and then plots the columns.
█ CUSTOM FUNCTIONS
• No custom functions are defined in this script. All calculations and plotting are done using built-in Pine Script functions such as ta.sma for SMA calculation and plot for plotting.
█ KEY POINTS AND TECHNIQUES
• Use of ta.sma: The script effectively uses the ta.sma function to calculate Simple Moving Averages for different periods.
• Conditional Logic: The script employs conditional logic (ternary operators) to determine the color and position of the plotted columns based on the direction of each MA.
• Plotting with plot: The plot function is used extensively to display the direction of each MA with different colors and positions.
• Color Transparency: The use of color.new with transparency (e.g., color.new(color.green, 50)) allows for visually distinct colors that are not too overpowering.
█ EXTENDED KNOWLEDGE AND APPLICATIONS
• Modifications: The script could be enhanced by adding input parameters to allow users to customize the periods of the moving averages, colors, and transparency levels.
• Extensions: Similar techniques could be applied to other types of moving averages (e.g., EMA, WMA) or to other technical indicators.
• Strategy Development: This indicator could serve as a component in a larger trading strategy by providing insights into the overall trend direction across multiple timeframes.
• Related Concepts: Understanding of moving averages, conditional logic, and plotting techniques in Pine Script would be beneficial for further development and customization of this script.
Top-Down Trend and Key Levels with Swing Points//by antaryaami0
Overview
The “Top-Down Trend and Key Levels with Swing Points” indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to enhance your technical analysis by integrating multiple trading concepts into a single, easy-to-use script. It combines higher timeframe trend analysis, key price levels, swing point detection, and ranging market identification to provide a holistic view of market conditions. This indicator is particularly useful for traders who employ multi-timeframe analysis, support and resistance levels, and price action strategies.
Key Features
1. Higher Timeframe Trend Background Shading:
• Purpose: Identifies the prevailing trend on a higher timeframe to align lower timeframe trading decisions with the broader market direction.
• How it Works: The indicator compares the current higher timeframe close with the previous one to determine if the trend is up, down, or ranging.
• Customization:
• Trend Timeframe: Set your preferred higher timeframe (e.g., Daily, Weekly).
• Up Trend Color & Down Trend Color: Customize the background colors for uptrends and downtrends.
• Ranging Market Color: A separate color to indicate when the market is moving sideways.
2. Key Price Levels:
• Previous Day High (PDH) and Low (PDL):
• Purpose: Identifies key support and resistance levels from the previous trading day.
• Visualization: Plots horizontal lines at PDH and PDL with labels.
• Customization: Option to show or hide these levels and customize their colors.
• Pre-Market High (PMH) and Low (PML):
• Purpose: Highlights the price range during the pre-market session, which can indicate potential breakout levels.
• Visualization: Plots horizontal lines at PMH and PML with labels.
• Customization: Option to show or hide these levels and customize their colors.
3. First 5-Minute Marker (F5H/F5L):
• Purpose: Marks the high or low of the first 5 minutes after the market opens, which is significant for intraday momentum.
• How it Works:
• If the first 5-minute high is above the Pre-Market High (PMH), an “F5H” label is placed at the first 5-minute high.
• If the first 5-minute high is below the PMH, an “F5L” label is placed at the first 5-minute low.
• Visualization: Labels are placed at the 9:35 AM candle (closing of the first 5 minutes), colored in purple by default.
• Customization: Option to show or hide the marker and adjust the marker color.
4. Swing Points Detection:
• Purpose: Identifies significant pivot points in price action to help recognize trends and reversals.
• How it Works: Uses left and right bars to detect pivot highs and lows, then determines if they are Higher Highs (HH), Lower Highs (LH), Higher Lows (HL), or Lower Lows (LL).
• Visualization: Plots small markers (circles) with labels (HH, LH, HL, LL) at the corresponding swing points.
• Customization: Adjust the number of left and right bars for pivot detection and the size of the markers.
5. Ranging Market Detection:
• Purpose: Identifies periods when the market is consolidating (moving sideways) within a defined price range.
• How it Works: Calculates the highest high and lowest low over a specified period and determines if the price range is within a set percentage threshold.
• Visualization: Draws a gray box around the price action during the ranging period and labels the high and low prices at the end of the range.
• Customization: Adjust the range detection period and threshold, as well as the box color.
6. Trend Coloring on Chart:
• Purpose: Provides a visual cue for the short-term trend based on a moving average.
• How it Works: Colors the candles green if the price is above the moving average and red if below.
• Customization: Set the moving average length and customize the uptrend and downtrend colors.

• Apply the indicator to historical data to observe how it performs and refine your settings accordingly.
• Stay Updated on Market Conditions:
• Be aware of news events or economic releases that may impact market behavior and the effectiveness of technical levels.
Customization Options
• Time Zone Adjustment:
• The script uses “America/New_York” time zone by default. Adjust the timezone variable in the script if your chart operates in a different time zone.
var timezone = "Your/Timezone"
• Session Times:
• Modify the Regular Trading Session and Pre-Market Session times in the indicator settings to align with the trading hours of different markets or exchanges.
• Visual Preferences:
• Colors: Personalize the indicator’s colors to suit your visual preferences or to enhance visibility.
• Label Sizes: Adjust label sizes if you find them too intrusive or not prominent enough.
• Marker Sizes: Further reduce or enlarge the swing point markers by modifying the swing_marker_size variable.
Understanding the Indicator’s Logic
1. Higher Timeframe Trend Analysis:
• The indicator retrieves the closing prices of a higher timeframe using the request.security() function.
• It compares the current higher timeframe close with the previous one to determine the trend direction.
2. Key Level Calculation:
• Previous Day High/Low: Calculated by tracking the highest and lowest prices of the previous trading day.
• Pre-Market High/Low: Calculated by monitoring price action during the pre-market session.
3. First 5-Minute Marker Logic:
• At 9:35 AM (end of the first 5 minutes after market open), the indicator evaluates whether the first 5-minute high is above or below the PMH.
• It then places the appropriate label (F5H or F5L) on the chart.
4. Swing Points Detection:
• The script uses ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions to detect pivot points.
• It then determines the type of swing point based on comparisons with previous swings.
5. Ranging Market Detection:
• The indicator looks back over a specified number of bars to find the highest high and lowest low.
• It calculates the percentage difference between these two points.
• If the difference is below the set threshold, the market is considered to be ranging, and a box is drawn around the price action.
Limitations and Considerations
• Indicator Limitations:
• Maximum Boxes and Labels: Due to Pine Script limitations, there is a maximum number of boxes and labels that can be displayed simultaneously.
• Performance Impact: Adding multiple visual elements (boxes, labels, markers) can affect the performance of the script on lower-end devices or with large amounts of data.
• Market Conditions:
• False Signals: Like any technical tool, the indicator may produce false signals, especially during volatile or erratic market conditions.
• Not a Standalone Solution: This indicator should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy, including risk management and other forms of analysis.
Conclusion
The “Top-Down Trend and Key Levels with Swing Points” indicator is a versatile tool that integrates essential aspects of technical analysis into one script. By providing insights into higher timeframe trends, highlighting key price levels, detecting swing points, and identifying ranging markets, it equips traders with valuable information to make more informed trading decisions.

Candle Average PriceOverview
The Candle Average Price indicator is a custom tool designed to help traders identify key price levels by calculating and displaying the average price of recent candles on your TradingView chart. This indicator computes the average price based on a user-defined percentage of each candle's range over a specified number of candles. It then plots a horizontal line representing this average, covering only the last N candles as defined by you.
Key Features
Customizable Number of Candles: Define how many past candles to include in the average calculation.
Adjustable Percentage Level: Choose any percentage of each candle's range (from low to high) to calculate the price level.
Dynamic Horizontal Line: The indicator plots a horizontal line representing the calculated average, updating with each new bar and covering only the specified number of candles.
How It Works
Price at Specified Percentage:
For each candle, the indicator calculates a price level at your chosen percentage within the candle's range.
Formula: Price = Low + (Percentage Level / 100) * (High - Low)
Average Price Calculation:
It computes the average of these price levels over the last N candles.
Formula: Average Price = Sum of Price Levels over N Candles / N
Horizontal Line Plotting:
A horizontal line is drawn at the calculated average price level.
The line spans from N candles ago to the current candle, covering exactly the number of candles specified.
Input Parameters
Number of Candles (length):
Description: The number of recent candles over which the average is calculated.
Default Value: 4
Range: 1 to any positive integer.
Usage: Adjust this to include more or fewer candles in the calculation. A higher number smooths the average, while a lower number makes it more responsive to recent price changes.
Percentage Level (%):
Description: The percentage within each candle's range to calculate the price level.
Default Value: 50%
Range: 0% (candle low) to 100% (candle high).
Usage: Modify this to focus on different parts of each candle:
0%: Uses the low of each candle.
50%: Uses the midpoint of each candle.
100%: Uses the high of each candle.
Custom Percentage: Any value between 0% and 100% to target specific levels.
How to Use the Indicator
Adding the Indicator to Your Chart:
Open the TradingView chart of your preferred financial instrument.
Click on Indicators at the top of the chart.
Select Invite-Only Scripts if you've saved the script there, or use the Pine Editor to paste and apply the script.
Configuring the Settings:
After adding the indicator, click on the gear icon ⚙️ next to its name to open settings.
Adjust the Number of Candles (length) to your desired period.
Set the Percentage Level (%) (percentage) to the specific level within each candle's range you want to analyze.
Interpreting the Horizontal Line:
The horizontal line represents the average price calculated based on your inputs.
It updates with each new bar, always reflecting the most recent data over the specified number of candles.
The line only spans the last N candles, providing a focused view of recent price action.
Practical Applications
Identifying Support and Resistance Levels:
The average price line can act as a dynamic support or resistance level.
Traders can watch for price reactions around this line to make trading decisions.
Trend Analysis:
Observing how the price interacts with the average line can provide insights into the current trend's strength and potential reversals.
Entry and Exit Signals:
Use the line as a reference point for setting stop-loss orders or taking profits.
Combine it with other indicators for more robust trading signals.
In highly volatile markets, consider increasing the number of candles to avoid false signals.
Limitations and Considerations
Not a Standalone Tool:
This indicator should not be used in isolation for making trading decisions. Always consider additional analysis.
Market Conditions Matter:
The indicator may perform differently in trending markets versus ranging markets.
Data Refresh:
Ensure you have a stable internet connection and that your TradingView chart is set to the correct time frame.
Conclusion
The Candle Average Price indicator is a flexible and user-friendly tool that provides valuable insights into recent price action by calculating the average price based on your specific criteria. By adjusting the parameters to suit your trading style, you can incorporate this indicator into your technical analysis to help identify potential trading opportunities.

Happy Trading!
Asian Range IndicatorIndicator Name:
Asian Range Indicator
Description:
This TradingView indicator is designed to accurately detect the price range during the Asian session, based on our trading strategy. This range is crucial for planning trades in the European and American sessions. Using advanced algorithms, the indicator automatically identifies and plots the highs and lows within the Asian session period, highlighting them on the chart with shaded areas for clear visualization. This helps traders anticipate breakouts and set more precise entry and exit levels.
How to Use the Indicator:
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
Observe the shaded areas representing the Asian range.
Use these levels to plan your trades during the European and American sessions.
Combine with other technical indicators to confirm your trading decisions.
Chart:
The chart published with this script is clean and easy to understand, clearly showing the Asian range highlighted with shaded areas. No other scripts are included, ensuring the indicator's output is easily identifiable. The shaded areas contribute to the visual understanding of the Asian range, helping traders effectively use the script.
Wave LineWave Line is a chart type obtained by plotting the High and Low values in each time interval according to their sequential order. This method produces a continuous line rather than bars, which is beneficial for analyzing changes within each interval rather than focusing on the price range and open/close values. E.g for Wave Analysis.
How to use:
1. Adjust the interval unit and multiplier for the main timeframe.
2. Ideally, select a lower timeframe on your chart, approximately 5 times smaller than the one specified for the script.
3. Lower Timeframe is the timeframe which will be the scripts reference when the high and low of the main timeframe align on a single bar of the opened chart. This timeframe may also be 5-10 times smaller than the main timeframe. It is important to note that this should not be excessively smaller as the script may fail in retrieving data. An alternative method is included to estimate the order if it is not clear in the fetched data.
4. Set a preferred value for Monowave Length, indicating the number of bars a monowave will cover horizontally. Set the value to be half of the Interval Multiplier for the Wave Line to align with the bar chart. However if the multiplier is an odd number, perfect alignment may not be achieved.
5. Ensure that the product of Max Polyline Segments and Monowave length does not exceed 5000, and adjust the value for Max Polyline Segments accordingly.

Monthly Strategy Performance TableWhat Is This?
This script code adds a Monthly Strategy Performance Table to your Pine Script strategy scripts so you can see a month-by-month and year-by-year breakdown of your P&L as a percentage of your account balance.
The table is based on realized equity rather than open equity, so it only updates the metrics when a trade is closed.
That's why some numbers will not match the Strategy Tester metrics (such as max drawdown), as the Strategy Tester bases metrics like max drawdown on open trade equity and not realized equity (closed trades).
The script is still a work-in-progress, so make sure to read the disclaimer below. But I think it's ready to release the code for others to play around with.
How To Use It
The script code includes one of my strategies as an example strategy. You need to replace my strategy code with your own. To do that just copy the source code below into a blank script, delete lines 11 -> 60 and paste your strategy code in there instead of mine. The script should work with most systems, but make sure to read the disclaimer below.
It works best with a significant amount of historical data, so it may not work very effectively on intraday timeframes as there is a severe limitation of available bars on TradingView. I recommend using it on 4HR timeframes and above, as anything less will produce very little usable data. Having a premium TradingView plan will also help boost the number of available bars.
You can hover your mouse over a table cell to get more information in the form of tooltips (such as the Long and Short win rate if you hover over your total return cell).
Credit
The code in this script is based on open-source code originally written by QuantNomad, I've made significant changes and additions to the original script but all credit for the idea and especially the display table code goes to them - I just built on top of it:
Why Did I Make This?
None of this is trading or investment advice, just my personal opinion based on my experience as a trader and systems developer these past 6+ years:
The TradingView Strategy Tester is severely limited in some important ways. And unless you use complex Excel formulas on exported test data, you can't see a granular perspective of your system's historical performance.
There is much more to creating profitable and tradeable systems than developing a strategy with a good win rate and a good return with a reasonable drawdown.
Some additional questions we need to ask ourselves are:
What did the system's worst drawdown look like?
How long did it last?
How often do drawdowns occur, and how quickly are they typically recovered?
How often do we have a break-even or losing month or year?
What is our expected compounded annual growth rate, and how does that growth rate compare to our max drawdown?
And many more questions that are too long to list and take a lifetime of trading experience to answer.
Without answering these kinds of questions, we run the risk of developing systems that look good on paper, but when it comes to live trading, we are uncomfortable or incapable of enduring the system's granular characteristics.
This Monthly Performance Table script code is intended to help bridge some of that gap with the Strategy Tester's limited default performance data.
Disclaimer
I've done my best to ensure the numbers this code outputs are accurate, and according to my testing with my personal strategy scripts it appears to work fine. But there is always a good chance I've missed something, or that this code will not work with your particular system.
The majority of my TradingView systems are extremely simple single-target systems that operate on a closed-candle basis to minimize many of the data reliability issues with the Strategy Tester, so I was unable to do much testing with multiple targets and pyramiding etc.
I've included a Debug option in the script that will display important data and information on a label each time a trade is closed. I recommend using the Debug option to confirm that the numbers you see in the table are accurate and match what your strategy is actually doing.
Always do your own due diligence, verify all claims as best you can, and never take anyone's word for anything.
Take care, and best of luck with your trading :)
Kind regards,
Matt.

Divergences in 52 Week Moving Averages, Adjusted and SmoothedThis script description is intended to be holistic and comprehensive for the understanding of the interested parties who view the script.
Following the PineCoders suggestions, I have provided detailed breakdowns both within the code and in the description immediately below:
► Description
This description is intended to be detailed and meaningful, conveying the understanding of the script’s intention to the user:
The theory: Divergences and extreme readings in 52-Week highs on major indexes can provide a view into a potential pending move in the opposite direction of how the market has been trending. By comparing the 52-Week Hi/Lo indices and applying an Exponential Moving Average (EMA), we can assess how extreme a move is from the average. If the move provides an extreme reading, it would potentially be beneficial to “fade” the move (take a position in the opposing direction).
The intention: The intentionality of this script is to provide a visualization of when the highly-probable opportunity to fade over a multi-day or multi-week period arises. In addition to this, based on backtesting prior moves and reading the various levels of significant reversals, three tiers: “Standard”, “Sensitive”, and “Highly Sensitive” have been applied, the user can choose which sensitivity level they would like to see, there are far less false positives on the Standard and Sensitive settings, while Highly Sensitive often signals multiple times with the move coming a few days later.
The application: The settings allow the user to customize their sensitivity to the fade signals, with the ability to customize the visual that shows up as well. For higher-highs that are fade-worthy, the signal will appear on the top of the candle, for lower-lows that are fade-worthy, the signal will appear on the bottom of the candle. The users risk criteria should be the primary driver of the entry/exit, although when backtesting it appears that the significant move is typically completed within a 2-4 week period at max and 3-5 day period at minimum.
A personal note: I am a futures trader intraday but would very strongly caution users when using this strategy with futures (unless their risk tolerance is higher than most). The most beneficial strategy when fading moves would be to enter in tranches, starting at the first signal and adding on any pullback (as long as the pullback is not below the initial entry point). 1-6 Week Date-To-Expiry options would be the primary method for applying this strategy. I would also like to add that SPY/SPX options (SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust / CBOE S&P 500 Index) are the most liquid options that could be applied in this strategy.
► Description (additional)
With the understanding that few users can read pinescript (Pine), the description above contains all of the necessary information that is necessary for a user to understand the intention for script utilization. For those who do understand Pine, the code is commented in each section in order to provide an understanding of the underlying functions, calculations, and thought process that went on during the writing of the script.
► Description (additional)
This script’s description contains no delegations, all aspects of the script as well as the initial idea behind it are contained in the description above, which is self-contained in it’s entirety with a clear and defined purpose that is written with the intent to holistically capture the intent of the potential use for this indicator.
► General House Rule #2
This script and the description (as well as my profile) contain no links or associations to promotion of any kind, I am not a business, I am not an individual that will in any way make money from this script or the promotion of another person, idea, company, entity, or legal persons (foreign or domestic).
► Originality and usefulness
This is an original and custom script (and idea) that is not a rehashing or a copy of any code from any other programmers in the tradingview community.
Crypto Uptrend Script + Pullback//Volume CandlesDescription: his is an adaption of my Pullback candle - This works on all timeframes and Markets (Forex//Stocks//)
Crypto Uptrend Script with Pullback Candle allows traders to get into a trend when the price is at end of a pullback and entering a balance phase in the market (works on all markets). The use of Moving averages to help identify a Trends and the use of Key levels to help traders be aware of where strong areas are in the market.
This script can work really well in Crypto Bull Runs when used on HTF and with confluences
The script has key support and resistance zones which are made up of quarterly data. Price reacts to these areas but patience is required as price will take time to come into these areas
I have updated the Pullback Candle with the use of Volume to filter out the weak Pullback Candles -
There are new candles to the script.
The First candle is the Bullish Volume Candle - This candle is set to a multiplier of 2x with a crossover of 50/100 on Volume - this then will paint a purple candle.
Uses of the Bullish Volume Candle:
Breakthrough of key areas // special chart patterns
Rejection of key areas
End of a impulse wave (Profit Takers)
The second candle is a Hammer - I prefer using the Hammers on Higher Timeframes however they do work on all timeframes. .
The third candle is a Exhaustion of impulse downward move.
Uses of this candle - can denote a new trend but has to be with confluence to a demand area // support area or with any use of technical analysis - using this alone is not advised
The fourth candle is a indecision candle in the shape of a Doji - this candle can help identify if the trend is in a continuation or a reversal
This script can work really well in Crypto Bull Runs
Disclaimer: There will be Pullbacks with High Volume (Breakouts) and not go the way as intended but this script is to allow traders to get into trends at good price levels. The script can paint signals in areas where price is too expensive so please do your own due diligence on the markets as this script is to help get into good areas of price
Please leave a thumbs up if you like this script and message me for information on how to use the script.
Weis V5 zigzag jayySomehow, I deleted version 5 of the zigzag script. Same name. I have added some older notes describing how the Weis Wave works.
I have also changed the date restriction that stopped the script from working after Dec 31, 2022.
What you see here is the Weis zigzag wave plotted directly on the price chart. This script is the companion to the Weis cumulative wave volume script.
What is a Weis wave? David Weis has been recognized as a Wyckoff method analyst he has written two books one of which, Trades About to Happen, describes the evolution of the now-popular Weis wave. The method employed by Weis is to identify waves of price action and to compare the strength of the waves on characteristics of wave strength. Chief among the characteristics of strength is the cumulative volume of the wave. There are other markers that Weis uses as well for example how the actual price difference between the start of the Weis wave from start to finish. Weis also uses time, particularly when using a Renko chart
David Weis did a futures io video which is a popular source of information about his method. (Search David Weis and futures.io. I strongly suggest you also read “Trades About to Happen” by David Weis.
This will get you up and running more quickly when studying charts. However, you should choose the Traditional method to be true to David Weis technique as described in his book "Trades About to Happen" and in the Futures IO Webcast featuring David Weis
. The Weis pip zigzag wave shows how far in terms of bar close price a Weis wave has traveled through the duration of a Weis wave. The Weis zigzag wave is used in combination with the Weis cumulative volume wave. The two waves should be set to the same "wave size".
To use this script, you must set the wave size: Using the traditional Weis method simply enter the desired wave size in the box "How should wave size be calculated", in this example I am using a traditional wave size of .25. Each wave for each security and each timeframe requires its own wave size. Although not the traditional method devised by David Weis a more automatic way to set wave size would be to use Average True Range (ATR). Using ATR is not the true Weis method but it does give you similar waves and, importantly, without the hassle described above. Once the Weis wave size is set then the zigzag wave will be shown with volume. Because Weis used the closing price of a wave to define waves a line Bar highs and bar lows are not captured by the Weis Wave. The default script setting is now cumulative volume waves using an ATR of 7 and a multiplication factor of .5.
To display volume in a way that does not crowd out neighbouring volumes Weis displayed volume as a maximum of 3 digits (usually). Consider two Weis Wave volumes 176,895,570 and 2,654,763,889. To display wave volume as three digits it is necessary to take a number such as 176,895,570 and truncate it. 176,895,570 can be represented as 177 X 10 to the power of 6. The number displayed must also be relative to other numbers in the field. If the highest volume on the page is: 2,654,763,889 and with only three numbers available to display the result the value shown must be 265 (265 X 10 to the power of 7). Since 176,895,570 is an order of magnitude smaller than 2,654,763,889 therefore 175,895,570 must be shown as 18 instead of 177. In this way, the relative magnitudes of the two volumes can be understood. All numbers in the field of view must be truncated by the same order of magnitude to make the relative volumes understandable. The script attempts to calculate the order of magnitude value automatically. If you see a red number in the field of view it means the script has failed to do the calculation automatically and you should use the manual method – use the dialogue box “Calculate truncated wave value automatically or manually”. Scroll down from the automatic method and select manual. Once "manual" is selected the values displayed become the power values or multipliers for each wave.
Using the manual method you will select a “Multiplier” in the next dialogue box. Scan the field and select the largest value in the field of view (visible chart) is the multiplier of interest. If you select a lower number than the maximum value will see at least one red “up”. If you are too high you will see at least one red “down”. Scroll in the direction recommended or the values on the screen will be totally incorrect. With volume truncated to the highest order values, the eye can quickly get a feel for relative volumes. It also reduces the crowding and overlapping of values on the screen. You can opt to show the full volume to help get a sense of the magnitude of the true volumes.
How does the script determine if a Weis wave is continuing to grow or not?
The script evaluates the closing price of each new bar relative to the "Weis wave size". Suppose the current bar closes at a new low close, within the current down wave, at $30.00. If the Weis wave size is $0.10 then the algorithm will remember the $30.00 close and compare it to the close of the next bar. If the bar close price does not close equal to or lower than $30.00 or close equal to or higher than $30.10 then the wave is still a down wave with a current low of $30.00. This is true even if the bar low is less than $30.00 or the bar high is greater than 30.10 – only the bar’s closing price matters. If a bar's closing price climbs back up to a close of $30.11 then because the closing price has moved more than $0.10 (the Weis wave size) then that is a wave reversal with a new up-trending wave. In the above example if there was currently a downward trending wave and the bar closes were as follows $30.00, $30.09, $30.01, $30.05, $30.10 The wave direction would continue to stay downward trending until the close of $30.10 was achieved. As such $30.00 would be the low and the following closes $30.09, $30.01, $30.05 would be allocated to the new upward-trending wave. If however There was a series of bar closes like this $30.00, $30.09, $30.01, $30.05, $29.99 since none of the closes was equal to above the 10-cent reversal target of $30.10 but instead, a new Weis wave low was achieved ($29.99). As such the closes of $30.09, $30.01, $30.05 would all be attributed to the continued down-trending wave with a current low of $29.99, even though the closing price for the interim bars was above $30.00. Now that the Weis Wave low is now 429.99 then, in order to reverse this continued downtrend price will need to close at or above $30.09 on subsequent bar closes assuming now new low bar close is achieved. With large wave sizes, wave direction can be in limbo for many bars before a close either renews wave direction or reverses it and confirms wave direction as either a reversal or a continuation. On the zig-zag, a wave line and its volume will not be "printed" until a wave reversal is confirmed.
The wave attribution is similar when using other methods to define wave size. If ATR is used for wave size instead of a traditional wave constant size such as $0.10 or $2 or 2000 pips or ... then the wave size is calculated based on current ATR instead of the Weis wave constant (Traditional selected value).
I have the option to display pseudo-Ord volume. In truth, Ord used more traditional zig-zag pivots of bar highs and lows. Waves using closes as pivots can have some significant differences. This difference can be lessened by using smaller time frames and larger wave sizes.
There are other options such to display the delta price or pip size of a Weis Wave, the number of bars in a wave, and a few other options.
DMI StrategyThis strategy is based on DMI indicator. It helps me to identify base or top of the script. I mostly use this script to trade in Nifty bank options, even when the signal comes in nifty . It can be used to trade in other scripts as well. Pivot points can also be used to take entry. Long entry is taken when DI+(11) goes below 10 and DI-(11) goes above 40 , whereas short entry is taken when DI-(11) goes below 10 and DI+(11) goes above 40.
For bank nifty , I take the trade in the strike price for which the current premium is nearby 300, with the SL of 20%. If premium goes below 10% I buy one more lot to average, but exit if the premium goes below 20% of the first entry. If the trade moves in the correct direction, we need to start trailing our stoploss or exit at the pre-defined target.
As this a strategy, there is one problem. While we are in the phase of "long", if again the "long" phase comes, it will not be shown on chart until a "short" phase has come, and vice versa. This has been resolved by creating an indicator instead of strategy with the name of "DMI Buy-sell on chart". Please go through that to get more entry points.

3LS | 3 Line Strike Strategy [Kintsugi Trading]What is the 3LS | 3 Line Strike Strategy?
Incorporating the 3 Line Strike candlestick pattern into our strategy was inspired by Arty at The Moving Average and the amazing traders at TheTrdFloor .
The Three Line Strike is a trend continuation candlestick pattern consisting of four candles. Depending on their heights and collocation, a bullish or a bearish trend continuation can be predicted.
In a symphony of trend analysis, price action, and volume we can find and place high-probability trades with the 3LS Strategy.
How to use it!
----- First, start by choosing a Stop-Loss Strategy, Stop PIP Size, and Risk/Reward Ratio -----
- Stop-Loss Strategy
Fixed PIP Size – This uses the top/bottom of the indicator candle and places a TP based on the chosen Risk:Reward ratio.
ATR Trail (No set Target Profit, only uses ATR Stop)
ATR Trail-Stop (Has set Target Profit, however, stop is based on ATR inputs)
**If you choose an ATR Stop-Loss Strategy - input the desired ATR period and Multiple you would like the stop to be calculated at**
**ATR Stop-Loss Strategies have a unique alert setup for Auto-Trading. See Auto-Trading Section**
- Risk/Reward Ratio = If you have a .5 risk/reward, it means you are risking $100 to make $50.
- Additional Stop PIP Size = Number of PIPs over the default stop location of the top or bottom of the indicator candle.
----- Next, we set the Session Filter -----
Set the Timezone and Trade Session you desire. If no specific session is desired, simply set the Trade Session to 00:00 - 00:00.
----- Next, we set the Moving Average Cloud Fill -----
Enter the Fast and Slow Moving Average Length used to calculate trend direction:
MA Period Fast
MA Period Slow
These inputs will determine whether the strategy looks for Long or Short positions.
----- Next, we set the VSA – Volume Spread Analysis Settings -----
Check the box to show the indicator at the bottom of the chart if desired.
This is just a different visual output of the VSA | Volume Spread Analysis indicator available for free under the community indicators tab. You can add that indicator to your chart and see the same output in candle format.
In combination with the Moving Average Cloud, the Volume Spread Analysis will help us determine when to take a trade and in what direction.
The strategy is essentially looking for small reversals going against the overall trend and placing a trade once that reversal ends and the price moves back in the direction of the overall trend.
The 3LS Strategy utilizes confirmation between trend, volume, and price action to place high probability trades.
The VSA is completely customizable by:
Moving Average Length
MA-1 Multiplier
MA-2 Multiplier
MA-3 Multiplier
Check out the VSA | Volume Spread Analysis indicator in the community scripts section under the indicators tab to use this awesome resource on other strategies.
----- Next, we have the option to view the automated KT Bull/Bear Signals -----
Check the boxes to show the buy-sell signal on the chart if desired.
----- Next, we set the risk we want to use if Auto Trading the strategy -----
I always suggest using no more than 1-3% of your total account balance per trade. Remember, if you have multiple strategies triggering per day with each using 1%, the total percent at risk will be much larger.
For Example – if you have 10 strategies each risking 1% your total risk is 10% of your account, not 1%! Be mindful to only use 1-3% of your total account balance across all strategies, not just each individual one.
----- Finally, we backtest our ideas -----
After using the 'Strategy Tester' tab on TradingView to thoroughly backtest your predictions you are ready to take it to the next level - Automated Trading!
This was my whole reason for creating the script. If you work a full-time job, live in a time zone that is hard to trade, or just don't have the patience, this will be a game-changer for you as it was for me.
Auto-Trading
When it comes to auto-trading this strategy I have included two options in the script that utilize the alert messages generated by TradingView.
*Note: Please trade on a demo account until you feel comfortable enough to use real money, and then please stick to 1%-2% of your total account value in risk per trade.*

Buy/Sell on the levelsThis script is generally
My describe is:
There are a lot of levels we would like to buy some crypto.
When the price has crossed the level-line - we buy, but only if we have the permission in array(2)
When we have bought the crypto - we lose the permission for buy for now(till we will sell it on the next higher level)
When we sell some crypto(on the buying level + 1) we have the permission again.
There also are 2 protect indicators. We can buy if these indicators both green only(super trend and PIVOT )
Jun 12
Release Notes: Hello there,
Uncomment this section before use for real trade:
if array.get(price_to_sellBue, i) >= open and array.get(price_to_sellBue, i) <= close// and
//direction < 0 and permission_for_buy != 0
Here is my script.
In general - this is incredible simple script to use and understand.
First of all You can see this script working with only long orders, it means we going to get money if crypto grows only. Short orders we need to close the position on time.
In this script we buy crypto and sell with step 1% upper.
You can simply change the step by changing the price arrays.
Please note, if You want to see where the levels of this script is You Have to copy the next my indicator called LEVEL 1%
In general - if the price has across the price-level we buy some crypto and loose permission for buying for this level till we sell some crypto. There is ''count_of_orders" array field with value 2. When we bought some crypto the value turns to 0. 0 means not allowed to by on this level!!! The script buy if the bar is green only(last tick).
The script check every level(those we can see in "price_to_sellBue" array).
If the price across one of them - full script runs. After buying(if it possible) we check is there any crypto for sell on the level.
We check all levels below actual level( of actual level - ''i'' than we check all levels from 0 to i-1).
If there is any order that has value 0 in count of orders and index <= i-1 - we count it to var SELL amount and in the end of loop sell all of it.
Pay attention - it sells only if price across the level with red bar AND HAS ORDERS TO SELL WHICH WAS BOUGHT BELOW!!!
In Strategy tester it shows not-profitables orders sometimes, because if You have old Long position - it sells it first. First in - first out.
If the price goes down for a long time and You sell after 5 buys You sell the first of it with the highest value.
There is 2 protection from horrible buying in this strategy. The first one - Supertrend. If the supertrend is red - there is no permission for buy.
The second one - something between PIVOT and supertrend but with switcher.
If the price across last minimum - switcher is red - no permission for buy and the actual price becomes last minimum . The last maximum calculated for last 100 bars.
When the price across last maximum - switcher is green, we can buy. The last minimum calculation for last 100 bars, last maximum is actual price.
This two protections will save You from buying if price get crash down.
Enjoy my script.
Should You need the code or explanation, You have any ideas how to improve this crypt, contact me.
Vladyslav.

Trend Analysis Index [CC]The Trend Analysis Index was created by Adam White and not to be confused with the Trend Analysis Indicator that I also published. This indicator operates under the same idea but using a completely different calculation to achieve similar results. The idea behind this indicator is for a combination of volatility and trend confirmation. If the indicator is above it's signal line then the stock is very volatile and vice versa. If the stock is currently trending as in above a chosen moving average for example and the indicator falls below the signal line then there is a pretty good chance in a trend reversal. The recommended buy and sell system to use is to pair this indicator with a moving average crossover system which I have included in the script. Buy when the indicator is above it's signal and the shorter moving average crosses above the longer moving average. For selling you would do the same and sell when the indicator is above it's signal and the shorter moving average crosses below the longer moving average. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to the normal ones so stronger signals are darker in color and normal signals are lighter in color.
Let me know what other indicators or scripts you would like to see me publish!
Weis pip zigzag jayyWhat you see here is the Weis pip zigzag wave plotted directly on the price chart. This script is the companion to the Weis pip wave ( ) which is plotted in the lower panel of the displayed chart and can be used as an alternate way of plotting the same results. The Weis pip zigzag wave shows how far in terms of price a Weis wave has traveled through the duration of a Weis wave. The Weis pip zigzag wave is used in combination with the Weis cumulative volume wave. The two waves must be set to the same "wave size".
To use this script you must set the wave size. Using the traditional Weis method simply enter the desired wave size in the box "Select Weis Wave Size" In this example, it is set to 5. Each wave for each security and each timeframe requires its own wave size. Although not the traditional method a more automatic way to set wave size would be to use ATR. This is not the true Weis method but it does give you similar waves and, importantly, without the hassle described above. Once the Weis wave size is set then the pip wave will be shown.
I have put a pip zigzag of a 5 point Weis wave on the bar chart - that is a different script. I have added it to allow your eye to see what a Weis wave looks like. You will notice that the wave is not in straight lines connecting wave tops to bottoms this is a function of the limitations of Pinescript version 1. This script would need to be in version 4 to allow straight lines. There are too many calculations within this script to allow conversion to Pinescript version 4 or even Version 3. I am in the process of rewriting this script to reduce the number of calculations and streamline the algorithm.
The numbers plotted on the chart are calculated to be relative numbers. The script is limited to showing only three numbers vertically. Only the highest three values of a number are shown. For example, if the highest recent pip value is 12,345 only the first 3 numerals would be displayed ie 123. But suppose there is a recent value of 691. It would not be helpful to display 691 if the other wave size is shown as 123. To give the appropriate relative value the script will show a value of 7 instead of 691. This informs you of the relative magnitude of the values. This is done automatically within the script. There is likely no need to manually override the automatically calculated value. I will create a video that demonstrates the manual override method.

David Weis did a futures io video which is a popular source of information about his method.
This is the identical script with the identical settings but without the offending links. If you want to see the pip Weis method in practice then search Weis pip wave. If you want to see Weis chart in pdf then message me and I will give a link or the Weis pdf. Why would you want to see the Weis chart for May 27, 2020? Merely to confirm the veracity of my algorithm. You could compare my Weis chart here () from the same period to the David Weis chart from May 27. Both waves are for the ES!1 4 hour chart and both for a wave size of 5.
TA Basics: further "Steps" with our Moving AverageSo far in this series of posts, we have worked thru creating a basic zero-lag moving average, then moved forward all the way to coding a "Fibonacci" Weighted Moving Average.
in this post we take a look at a technique that can help traders minimize noise in the underlying data and get better insight on the changes that are happening in the data series represented by the moving average. we'll look at adding "stepping" to our Fibonacci Moving Average as an example. we introduce the Stepping Fibonacci Moving Average , or Step_FiMA
note that you can use the same technique with any plot you may have. feel free to copy or leverage the relevant parts of the script - the script is commented to make this easier.
How is this useful?
==================
with "stepping", you get your indicator to "round" the outcome into pre-specified bands or ranges. this works very similar to how, for example, range or Renko charts work. you can easily see the difference in the chart above once we look at a non-stepped and a stepping moving average of the same length side-by-side
the more granular your timeframe is, you will see the effect of the stepping clearer - here's how the same chart looks when we go into the 1-hr aggregation
Notes about this script
====================
there are couple of pieces i wanted to highlight in the script if you plan to use some of it :
1 - the step(x) function is meant to try to automatically pick the best "suitable" step size based on the range of the underlying series (for example, the closing price). these ranges i included here in the code are just my own "best choices" - you are totally welcome to adjust these ranges and the resulting step size to your own preference
2 - we applied the stepping as a user-choice. user can choose a manual entry, or "0" to get the code to automatically pick the step size, or enter -1 (or actually any value below zero) to cancel the stepping option altogether - this gives us some flexibility on how to use the stepping in an indicator
3 - very important (and somehow confusing): on the "rounding" approach:
the magic math formula that actually creates the stepping is this one
result = round(input / step) * step
now, this tells the script to "round" the result up or down (the basic rounding) -- so for example, a price of 17 with a step of 5 would be rounded (down) to 15, where as a price of 18 would be rounded "up" to 20 -- this is not the way some of us would expect or want, cause the price never reached 20 and they would want an 18 to still be rounded to 15 - and the stepping line not to show 20 *until* the price actually hits or exceeds 20 -- in that case, you would need to replace the function "round" with the function "floor" --
so the new formula becomes: floor(input / step) * step
-- in an ideal world, we can make this rounding choice a user-option in the settings -- maybe in an improved version
4 - we kept the smoothing option, and it takes place before the stepping is applied - we continue to use that smoothing to further minimize the level changes in the FiMA line.
I hope you find this script useful in your journey with technical analysis and DIY scripting, and good luck in your trading.

How to avoid repainting when using security() - PineCoders FAQNOTE
The non-repainting technique in this publication that relies on bar states is now deprecated, as we have identified inconsistencies that undermine its credibility as a universal solution. The outputs that use the technique are still available for reference in this publication. However, we do not endorse its usage. See this publication for more information about the current best practices for requesting HTF data and why they work.
This indicator shows how to avoid repainting when using the security() function to retrieve information from higher timeframes.
What do we mean by repainting?
Repainting is used to describe three different things, in what we’ve seen in TV members comments on indicators:
1. An indicator showing results that change during the realtime bar, whether the script is using the security() function or not, e.g., a Buy signal that goes on and then off, or a plot that changes values.
2. An indicator that uses future data not yet available on historical bars.
3. An indicator that uses a negative offset= parameter when plotting in order to plot information on past bars.
The repainting types we will be discussing here are the first two types, as the third one is intentional—sometimes even intentionally misleading when unscrupulous script writers want their strategy to look better than it is.
Let’s be clear about one thing: repainting is not caused by a bug ; it is caused by the different context between historical bars and the realtime bar, and script coders or users not taking the necessary precautions to prevent it.
Why should repainting be avoided?
Repainting matters because it affects the behavior of Pine scripts in the realtime bar, where the action happens and counts, because that is when traders (or our systems) take decisions where odds must be in our favor.
Repainting also matters because if you test a strategy on historical bars using only OHLC values, and then run that same code on the realtime bar with more than OHLC information, scripts not properly written or misconfigured alerts will alter the strategy’s behavior. At that point, you will not be running the same strategy you tested, and this invalidates your test results , which were run while not having the additional price information that is available in the realtime bar.
The realtime bar on your charts is only one bar, but it is a very important bar. Coding proper strategies and indicators on TV requires that you understand the variations in script behavior and how information available to the script varies between when the script is running on historical and realtime bars.
How does repainting occur?
Repainting happens because of something all traders instinctively crave: more information. Contrary to trader lure, more information is not always better. In the realtime bar, all TV indicators (a.k.a. studies ) execute every time price changes (i.e. every tick ). TV strategies will also behave the same way if they use the calc_on_every_tick = true parameter in their strategy() declaration statement (the parameter’s default value is false ). Pine coders must decide if they want their code to use the realtime price information as it comes in, or wait for the realtime bar to close before using the same OHLC values for that bar that would be used on historical bars.
Strategy modelers often assume that using realtime price information as it comes in the realtime bar will always improve their results. This is incorrect. More information does not necessarily improve performance because it almost always entails more noise. The extra information may or may not improve results; one cannot know until the code is run in realtime for enough time to provide data that can be analyzed and from which somewhat reliable conclusions can be derived. In any case, as was stated before, it is critical to understand that if your strategy is taking decisions on realtime tick data, you are NOT running the same strategy you tested on historical bars with OHLC values only.
How do we avoid repainting?
It comes down to using reliable information and properly configuring alerts, if you use them. Here are the main considerations:
1. If your code is using security() calls, use the syntax we propose to obtain reliable data from higher timeframes.
2. If your script is a strategy, do not use the calc_on_every_tick = true parameter unless your strategy uses previous bar information to calculate.
3. If your script is a study and is using current timeframe information that is compared to values obtained from a higher timeframe, even if you can rely on reliable higher timeframe information because you are correctly using the security() function, you still need to ensure the realtime bar’s information you use (a cross of current close over a higher timeframe MA, for example) is consistent with your backtest methodology, i.e. that your script calculates on the close of the realtime bar. If your system is using alerts, the simplest solution is to configure alerts to trigger Once Per Bar Close . If you are not using alerts, the best solution is to use information from the preceding bar. When using previous bar information, alerts can be configured to trigger Once Per Bar safely.
What does this indicator do?
It shows results for 9 different ways of using the security() function and illustrates the simplest and most effective way to avoid repainting, i.e. using security() as in the example above. To show the indicator’s lines the most clearly, price on the chart is shown with a black line rather than candlesticks. This indicator also shows how misusing security() produces repainting. All combinations of using a 0 or 1 offset to reference the series used in the security() , as well as all combinations of values for the gaps= and lookahead= parameters are shown.
The close in the call labeled “BEST” means that once security has reached the upper timeframe (1 day in our case), it will fetch the previous day’s value.
The gaps= parameter is not specified as it is off by default and that is what we need. This ensures that the value returned by security() will not contain na values on any of our chart’s bars.
The lookahead security() to use the last available value for the higher timeframe bar we are using (the previous day, in our case). This ensures that security() will return the value at the end of the higher timeframe, even if it has not occurred yet. In our case, this has no negative impact since we are requesting the previous day’s value, with has already closed.
The indicator’s Settings/Inputs allow you to set:
- The higher timeframe security() calls will use
- The source security() calls will use
- If you want identifying labels printed on the lines that have no gaps (the lines containing gaps are plotted using very thick lines that appear as horizontal blocks of one bar in length)
For the lines to be plotted, you need to be on a smaller timeframe than the one used for the security() calls.
Comments in the code explain what’s going on.
Look first. Then leap.

This Pine Script is a multi-indicator trading strategy designed to generate buy/sell signals based on combinations of popular technical indicators: RSI (Relative Strength Index) , CCI (Commodity Channel Index) , and Stochastic Oscillator . The script allows you to select which combination of signals to display, making it highly customizable and adaptable to different trading styles.
The primary goal of this script is to provide clear and actionable entry/exit points by visualizing buy/sell signals with arrows , labels , and vertical lines directly on the chart. It also includes input validation, dynamic signal plotting, and clutter-free line management to ensure a clean and professional user experience.
Key Features
1. Customizable Signal Types
You can choose from five signal types:
RSI & CCI : Combines RSI and CCI signals for confirmation.
RSI & Stochastic : Combines RSI and Stochastic signals.
CCI & Stochastic : Combines CCI and Stochastic signals.
RSI & CCI & Stochastic : Requires all three indicators to align for a signal.
All Signals : Displays individual signals from each indicator separately.
This flexibility allows you to test and use the combination that works best for your trading strategy.
2. Clear Buy/Sell Indicators
Arrows : Buy signals are marked with upward arrows (green/lime/yellow) below the candles, while sell signals are marked with downward arrows (red/fuchsia/gray) above the candles.
Labels : Each signal is accompanied by a label ("BUY" or "SELL") near the arrow for clarity.
Vertical Lines : A vertical line is drawn at the exact bar where the signal occurs, extending from the low to the high of the candle. This ensures you can pinpoint the exact entry point without ambiguity.
3. Dynamic Overbought/Oversold Levels
You can customize the overbought and oversold levels for each indicator:
RSI: Default values are 70 (overbought) and 30 (oversold).
CCI: Default values are +100 (overbought) and -100 (oversold).
Stochastic: Default values are 80 (overbought) and 20 (oversold).
These levels can be adjusted to suit your trading preferences or market conditions.
4. Input Validation
The script includes built-in validation to ensure that oversold levels are always lower than overbought levels for each indicator. If the inputs are invalid, an error message will appear, preventing incorrect configurations.
5. Clean Chart Design
To avoid clutter, the script dynamically manages vertical lines:
Only the most recent 50 buy/sell lines are displayed. Older lines are automatically deleted to keep the chart clean.
Labels and arrows are placed strategically to avoid overlapping with candles.
6. ATR-Based Offset
The vertical lines and labels are offset using the Average True Range (ATR) to ensure they don’t overlap with the price action. This makes the signals easier to see, especially during volatile market conditions.
7. Scalable and Professional
The script uses arrays to manage multiple vertical lines, ensuring scalability and performance even when many signals are generated.
It adheres to Pine Script v6 standards, ensuring compatibility and reliability.
How It Works
Indicator Calculations :
The script calculates the values of RSI, CCI, and Stochastic Oscillator based on user-defined lengths and smoothing parameters.
It then checks for crossover/crossunder conditions relative to the overbought/oversold levels to generate individual signals.
Combined Signals :
Depending on the selected signal type, the script combines the individual signals logically:
For example, a "RSI & CCI" buy signal requires both RSI and CCI to cross into their respective oversold zones simultaneously.
Signal Plotting :
When a signal is generated, the script:
Plots an arrow (upward for buy, downward for sell) at the corresponding bar.
Adds a label ("BUY" or "SELL") near the arrow for clarity.
Draws a vertical line extending from the low to the high of the candle to mark the exact entry point.
Line Management :
To prevent clutter, the script stores up to 50 vertical lines in arrays (buy_lines and sell_lines). Older lines are automatically deleted when the limit is exceeded.
Why Use This Script?
Versatility : Whether you're a scalper, swing trader, or long-term investor, this script can be tailored to your needs by selecting the appropriate signal type and adjusting the indicator parameters.
Clarity : The combination of arrows, labels, and vertical lines ensures that signals are easy to spot and interpret, even in fast-moving markets.
Customization : With adjustable overbought/oversold levels and multiple signal options, you can fine-tune the script to match your trading strategy.
Professional Design : The script avoids clutter by limiting the number of lines displayed and using ATR-based offsets for better visibility.
How to Use This Script
Add the Script to Your Chart :
Copy and paste the script into the Pine Editor in TradingView.
Save and add it to your chart.
Select Signal Type :
Use the "Signal Type" dropdown menu to choose the combination of indicators you want to use.
Adjust Parameters :
Customize the lengths of RSI, CCI, and Stochastic, as well as their overbought/oversold levels, to match your trading preferences.
Interpret Signals :
Look for green arrows and "BUY" labels for buy signals, and red arrows and "SELL" labels for sell signals.
Vertical lines will help you identify the exact bar where the signal occurred.
Tips for Traders
Backtest Thoroughly : Before using this script in live trading, backtest it on historical data to ensure it aligns with your strategy.
Combine with Other Tools : While this script provides reliable signals, consider combining it with other tools like support/resistance levels or volume analysis for additional confirmation.
Avoid Overloading the Chart : If you notice too many signals, try tightening the overbought/oversold levels or switching to a combined signal type (e.g., "RSI & CCI & Stochastic") for fewer but higher-confidence signals.
display_valueOVERVIEW
This script is a tinny library for creating and displaying formatted values in TradingView scripts. It provides a structured way to present key information like titles, percentages, currency values, decimals, and integers with clear formatting. This allows you to coordinate your strings in advance and hold one item to use for calling your string to a label, box, table.. Made for day to day use of most typical use cases, more advanced techniques should be used for complicated scenarios.
Building Blocks
User Defined Types (UDTs)
The script defines a UDT called `DisplayValue` to encapsulate the components of a display value:
* title : The title or label of the value.
* format_string : The string used to format the value (e.g., "{0} - 1,number,percent}").
* value : The actual value to be displayed.
* format : An enum value specifying the desired format (percent, currency, etc.).
Enums
The `DisplayFormat` enum provides predefined constants for various formatting options, making the code more readable and less prone to errors.
Functions
* create() : This function creates a new `DisplayValue` instance. It takes the title, value, and desired format as arguments and generates the appropriate format string.
* to_string() : This function converts a `DisplayValue` instance into a formatted string ready for display on the chart.
How to Use
1. Import the library:
import kaigouthro/display_value/1as dv
2. Create a DisplayValue instance:
myValue = dv.create("My Percentage", 0.5, dv.DisplayFormat.percent)
3. Convert it to a string:
formattedString = dv.to_string(myValue)
4. Display the formatted string:
label.new(bar_index, high, formattedString)
Example
//@version=5
import kaigouthro/display_value/1 as dv
myValue = dv.create("Profit", 0.15, dv.DisplayFormat.percent)
formattedString = dv.to_string(myValue)
label.new(bar_index, high, formattedString)
This will display a label on the chart with the text "Profit - 15%".
### Notes
* The library handles the formatting details, making it easier to display values consistently in your scripts.
* The use of enums and UDTs improves code organization and readability.

Optimal Buy Day (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Optimal Buy Day (Zeiierman) indicator identifies optimal buying days based on historical price data, starting from a user-defined year. It simulates investing a fixed initial capital and making regular monthly contributions. The unique aspect of this indicator involves comparing systematic investment on specific days of the month against a randomized buying day each month, aiming to analyze which method might yield more shares or a better average price over time. By visualizing the potential outcomes of systematic versus randomized buying, traders can better understand the impact of market timing and how regular investments might accumulate over time.
These statistics are pivotal for traders and investors using the script to analyze historical performance and strategize future investments. By understanding which days offered more shares for their money or lower average prices, investors can tailor their buying strategies to potentially enhance returns.
█ Key Statistics
⚪ Shares
Definition: Represents the total number of shares acquired on a particular day of the month across the entire simulation period.
How It Works: The script calculates how many shares can be bought each day, given the available capital or monthly contribution. This calculation takes into account the day's opening price and accumulates the total shares bought on that day over the simulation period.
Interpretation: A higher number of shares indicates that the day consistently offered better buying opportunities, allowing the investor to acquire more shares for the same amount of money. This metric is crucial for understanding which days historically provided more value.
⚪ AVG Price
Definition: The average price paid per share on a particular day of the month, averaged over the simulation period.
How It Works: Each time shares are bought, the script calculates the average price per share, factoring in the new shares purchased at the current price. This average evolves over time as more shares are bought at varying prices.
Interpretation: The average price gives insight into the cost efficiency of buying shares on specific days. A lower average price suggests that buying on that day has historically led to better pricing, making it a potentially more attractive investment strategy.
⚪ Buys
Definition: The total number of transactions or buys executed on a particular day of the month throughout the simulation.
How It Works: This metric increments each time shares are bought on a specific day, providing a count of all buying actions taken.
Interpretation: The number of buys indicates the frequency of investment opportunities. A higher count could mean more consistent opportunities for investment, but it's important to consider this in conjunction with the average price and the total shares acquired to assess overall strategy effectiveness.
⚪ Most Shares
Definition: Identifies the day of the month on which the highest number of shares were bought, highlighting the specific day and the total shares acquired.
How It Works: After simulating purchases across all days of the month, the script identifies which day resulted in the highest total number of shares bought.
Interpretation: This metric points out the most opportune day for volume buying. It suggests that historically, this day provided conditions that allowed for maximizing the quantity of shares purchased, potentially due to lower prices or other factors.
⚪ Best Price
Definition: Highlights the day of the month that offered the lowest average price per share, indicating both the day and the price.
How It Works: The script calculates the average price per share for each day and identifies the day with the lowest average.
Interpretation: This metric is key for investors looking to minimize costs. The best price day suggests that historically, buying on this day led to acquiring shares at a more favorable average price, potentially maximizing long-term investment returns.
⚪ Randomized Shares
Definition: This metric represents the total number of shares acquired on a randomly selected day of the month, simulated across the entire period.
How It Works: At the beginning of each month within the simulation, the script selects a random day when the market is open and calculates how many shares can be purchased with the available capital or monthly contribution at that day's opening price. This process is repeated each month, and the total number of shares acquired through these random purchases is tallied.
Interpretation: Randomized shares offer a comparison point to systematic buying strategies. By comparing the total shares acquired through random selection against those bought on the best or worst days, investors can gauge the impact of timing and market fluctuations on their investment strategy. A higher total in randomized shares might indicate that over the long term, the specific days chosen for investment might matter less than consistent market participation. Conversely, if systematic strategies yield significantly more shares, it suggests that timing could indeed play a crucial role in maximizing investment returns.
⚪ Randomized Price
Definition: The average price paid per share for the shares acquired on the randomly selected days throughout the simulation period.
How It Works: Each time shares are bought on a randomly chosen day, the script calculates the average price paid for all shares bought through this randomized strategy. This average price is updated as the simulation progresses, reflecting the cost efficiency of random buying decisions.
Interpretation: The randomized price metric helps investors understand the cost implications of a non-systematic, random investment approach. Comparing this average price to those achieved through more deliberate, systematic strategies can reveal whether consistent investment timing strategies outperform random investment actions in terms of cost efficiency. A lower randomized price suggests that random buying might not necessarily result in higher costs, while a higher average price indicates that systematic strategies might provide better control over investment costs.
█ How to Use
Traders can use this tool to analyze historical data and simulate different investment strategies. By inputting their initial capital, regular contribution amount, and start year, they can visually assess which days might have been more advantageous for buying, based on historical price actions. This can inform future investment decisions, especially for those employing dollar-cost averaging strategies or looking to optimize entry points.
█ Settings
StartYear: This setting allows the user to specify the starting year for the investment simulation. Changing this value will either extend or shorten the period over which the simulation is run. If a user increases the value, the simulation begins later and covers a shorter historical period; decreasing the value starts the simulation earlier, encompassing a longer time frame.
Capital: Determines the initial amount of capital with which the simulation begins. Increasing this value simulates starting with more capital, which can affect the number of shares that can be initially bought. Decreasing this value simulates starting with less capital.
Contribution: Sets the monthly financial contribution added to the investment within the simulation. A higher contribution increases the investment each month and could lead to more shares being purchased over time. Lowering the contribution decreases the monthly investment amount.

No Wick Bull/Bear Candlesticks with Arrow premiumNo Wick Bull/Bear Candlesticks with Arrow premium
This script is for a custom trading indicator called "No Wick Bull/Bear Candlesticks with Arrow premium" developed by ClearTradingMind. It is designed for use with trading platforms that support scripting, such as TradingView. This indicator combines several technical analysis tools to help traders identify potential buy and sell signals in a financial market.
Key Components of the Indicator:
Moving Average (MA): The script allows users to select from various types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, HMA, etc.), which smooth out price data to identify trends. Users can set the length and type of the moving average.
Upper and Lower Bands: These bands are set at a specified deviation percentage above and below the chosen moving average. They help in identifying overbought and oversold conditions.
No Wick Bull/Bear Candlestick Identification:
Bullish Condition: A bullish candlestick is identified when the closing price is higher than the opening price, the low equals the open, and the close is above the moving average.
Bearish Condition: A bearish candlestick is identified when the closing price is lower than the opening price, the high equals the open, and the close is below the moving average.
No Wick: These conditions also imply that the candlesticks have no wicks, suggesting strong buying or selling pressure.
Arrows for Trading Signals:
No lower wick bull bar
No upper wick bear bar
When a bullish condition is met, a green upward-pointing triangle is plotted below the candlestick, indicating a potential buy signal.
When a bearish condition is met, a red downward-pointing triangle is plotted above the candlestick, indicating a potential sell signal.
EMA 20: An additional Exponential Moving Average with a length of 20 periods is plotted for further trend analysis.
Background Color Changes: The script changes the background color to blue if the EMA 20 is above the upper band, and to red if it is below the lower band, providing visual cues about the market trend.
How It Works:
Traders can input their preferences for the moving average type and length, source of the MA (like closing prices), and the deviation percentage for the bands.
The script then calculates the moving average, upper and lower bands, and checks for bullish or bearish candlestick conditions without wicks.
When such conditions are met, it plots arrows to suggest buy or sell signals.
The EMA 20 and background color changes offer additional trend information.
Usage:
This indicator is particularly useful in markets with clear trends. The no wick bull/bear candlesticks indicate strong buying or selling pressure, and the arrows provide clear visual signals for traders to consider entering or exiting positions. As with all trading indicators, it's recommended to use this tool in conjunction with other forms of analysis to confirm trading signals.
