xBrat SlingshotThe xBrat Slingshot Software is designed to identify measured Pull Backs during trends. The Software then identifies two different types of “with trend” trading signals and 1 “trend failure” signal (discussed further down the logic explanation). It is important to know that every pullback is NOT tradeable and a strong set of rules/logic must be used consistently to first measure the pullback. Then a set of repeatable rules/logic is used to identify trading signals when that pullback has found support or resistance within those measured pullback zones. The xBrat Slingshot Software does this all automatically using the following logic.
Long trade
If False Breakout Stochastics (Stoch) closes below 20%, and then closes above 80%, identify a swing low as the lowest price reached since the close below 20%.
When Stoch then closes back down below N%, the algorithm will identify a swing high as the highest price reached since the close above 80.
Behind the chart the software draws a fib retracement from swing low to swing high.
If price ever closed below the 61.8 at any time between the swing high bar and the bar that closed below N%, the software cancels the setup (and undraws pullback zone visuals).
Otherwise our software draws pullback zones at the following fib percentages that are commonly used when measuring pullbacks against a trend.
Pullback zone 1: 23.6-38.2 (default green, light opacity)
Pullback zone 2: 38.2-50 (default green, medium opacity)
Pullback zone 3: 50-61.8 (default green, dark opacity)
If price enters (either closes inside of or touches) a pullback zone and then closes above it without ever closing past (below) it, the setup is confirmed and fib extension targets are drawn (distance from high swing to end of the pullback, extended from the end of the pullback):
Target zone 1: 110-127 (default green, light opacity)
Target zone 2: 161-176 (default green, medium opacity)
Target zone 3: 262-286 (default green, dark opacity)
If price closes past (below) Pullback zone 3 before the setup is confirmed, cancel the setup (and undraw visuals).
Once target zones are drawn, the setup is confirmed and never undrawn.
Short trade
Reverse of the above long trade logic.
Pullback confirmation value: N%
Default zone colour: Red
Once the pullback zone is identified and sufficient initial Support or Resistance occurs within the pullback zones, they are locked along with the target Target Zones for the current move.
Then further confluences are used with our proprietary logic to identify 3 types of Trading Signals. Just because we have a pullback during a trend, doesn't mean we are going to get straight back to the trend. We have identified 2 special sets of confluences that occur in a predefined order to ensure the trend is being returned to with momentum.
These are the Type 1 and Type 2 Trading Signals Below. Then we have another set of circumstances/confluence for when a Trend Fails and traders need to be able to trade these. This is the 3rd type of Trade, a Type 3 below.
Type 1 Trade Signals - Trend Continuation - The following MUST occur within the 3 pullback zones. This signal uses Crosses of Fast and Slow EMA’s which denote the switch back for slingshot and the trend to resume in its original direction after a measured pullback. Then we apply our proprietary EMA cloud for moving out of the pull back zones as a final confirmation for the signal to be Printed.
Type 1 Buy Signals: Fast EMA (default period N, displacement 0) closes below the slow EMA (default period N, displacement N) while in a green pullback zone, and then the fast EMA closes back above the slow EMA without price ever breaking below the last pullback zone (green zones must still be printing). Draw a horizontal line N ticks for entry above the close of the confirmation bar and extend until the lower EMA cloud line breaks it – at which point the lower EMA cloud line is shown as trailing stop
Type 1 Sell Signals: Fast EMA (default period N, displacement 0) closes above the slow EMA (default period N, displacement N) while in a red pullback zone, and then the fast EMA closes back below the slow EMA without price ever breaking above the last pullback zone (red zones must still be printing). Draw a horizontal line N ticks below the close of the confirmation bar and extend until the upper EMA cloud line breaks it – at which point the upper EMA cloud line is shown as trailing stop.
These are the most common of the trading signals when price action follows all of our standard logic rules for a pullback and starts to return in the direction of the main trend after the measured pullback. The highest probability move is to Target 2.
Type 2 Trades - Trend Continuation - For this signal type the Fast and Slow EMA’s DO NOT Cross. BUT price action has to Enter our proprietary EMA cloud and close in the cloud. Then on a set “N” bars must move back out and close outside of the EMA Cloud back in the direction of the original trend. Again, All this must be done within the Pull back Zones.
Type 2 Buy Signal: A bar closes below the upper cloud line while in a green pullback zone, and then within N bars, a bar closes above the upper cloud line without ever breaking below the last pullback zone or the lower EMA Cloud line (green zones must still be printing). Draw a horizontal line N ticks above the close of this bar and extend until the lower EMA cloud line breaks it – at which point the lower EMA cloud line is shown as trailing stop.
Type 2 Sell Signal: A bar closes above the lower cloud line while in a red pullback zone, and then within N bars, a bar closes below the lower cloud line without ever breaking above the last pullback zone or upper EMA cloud line (red zones must still be printing). Draw a horizontal line N ticks below the close of this bar and extend until the upper cloud line breaks it – at which point the upper cloud line is shown as trailing stop.
These are Shallow pullbacks, but still hit the pullback zones. The price action in this instance returns to the direction of the main trend more quickly but still follows a different set of rules to that of Type 1 trades. The Highest Probability move is to target Two
Type 3 Trades - Trend failure - These are trend failure signals where the pullback zones are printed but the price action does not return to the main trend, BUT breaks the third pullback zone and breaks the slingshot rules for a Trend following trade setup. Our proprietary EMA Cloud positioning is then used to confirm and print the signal once the leading edge( direction dependent) moves out of the last pullback zone and we get a candle close with “N” percentage of the pull backs zone's depth.
Type 3 Buy Signal: A bar closes above the highest red pullback zone without pricing previously having ever touched the first red target zone for previous short with trend move. Draw a horizontal line N ticks above the close of the bar that broke the last zone and extend until the lower cloud line breaks it – at which point the lower cloud line is shown as a trailing stop.
Type 3 Sell Signal: A bar closes below the lowest green pullback zone without pricing having ever touched the previous first green target zone for previous long with trend move. Draw a horizontal line N ticks below the close of the bar that broke the last zone and extend until the upper cloud line breaks it – at which point the upper cloud line is shown as a trailing stop.
The Trailing Stop Line is also printed to help with trade management of these 3 different types of trades. This EMA trailing stop is adjustable.
This strategy is designed for Scalping, Day Trading and even Swing Trading. Works with Forex, Crypto, Futures and Stocks.

Volatility Projection Levels (VPL)### Indicator Name: **Volatility Projection Levels (VPL)**
### Description:
The **Volatility Projection Levels (VPL)** indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders anticipate key support and resistance levels for the E-mini S&P 500 (ES) by leveraging the CBOE Volatility Index (^VIX). This indicator utilizes historical volatility data to project potential price movements for the upcoming month, offering clear visual cues that enhance swing trading strategies.
### Key Features:
- **Volatility-Based Projections**: The VPL indicator uses the previous month’s closing value of the VIX, normalizing it for monthly analysis by dividing by the square root of 12. This calculated percentage is then applied to the E-mini S&P 500’s closing price from the last day of the previous month.
- **Upper and Lower Projection Levels**: The indicator calculates two essential levels:
- **Upper Projection Level**: The previous month’s closing price of the E-mini S&P 500 plus the calculated volatility percentage.
- **Lower Projection Level**: The previous month’s closing price of the E-mini S&P 500 minus the calculated volatility percentage.
- **Continuous Visualization**: The VPL indicator plots these projection levels on the chart throughout the entire month, providing traders with a consistent reference for potential support and resistance zones. This continuous visualization allows for better anticipation of market movements.
- **Previous Month's Close Reference**: Additionally, the indicator plots the previous month’s closing price as a reference point, offering further context for current price action.
### Use Cases:
- **Swing Trading**: The VPL indicator is ideal for swing traders looking to exploit predicted price ranges within a monthly timeframe.
- **Support & Resistance Identification**: It aids traders in identifying critical levels where the market may encounter support or resistance, thus informing entry and exit decisions.
- **Risk Management**: By forecasting potential price levels, traders can set more strategic stop-loss and take-profit levels, enhancing risk management.
### Summary:
The **Volatility Projection Levels (VPL)** indicator equips traders with a forward-looking tool that incorporates volatility data into market analysis. By projecting key price levels based on historical VIX data, the VPL indicator enhances decision-making, helping traders anticipate market movements and optimize their trading strategies.

Higher timeframe candles often represent significant support and resistance levels. This indicator makes it easy to spot these levels and incorporate them into your trading decisions, allowing you to:
- Identify key support and resistance levels from higher timeframes.
- Anticipate potential price reactions at these levels on your current timeframe.
- Plan entries, exits, and stop-loss placement with greater precision.
### 6. Trend Identification
By displaying multiple HTF candles, traders can quickly assess the overall trend direction on higher timeframes, helping to align trades with the broader market direction:
- Easily visualize the trend on higher timeframes without changing your chart.
- Identify potential trend changes or continuations based on HTF candle patterns.
- Align your trades with the higher timeframe trend for potentially higher probability setups.
### 7. Enhanced Decision Making
The combination of current timeframe price action and higher timeframe context allows for more informed decision-making, potentially improving trade quality and risk management:
- Validate trade setups by ensuring they align with higher timeframe structure.
- Avoid low-probability trades that conflict with higher timeframe trends or key levels.
- Adjust position sizing based on the proximity to significant HTF levels.
### 8. Time Efficiency
Instead of constantly switching between timeframes, traders can view all necessary information on a single chart, streamlining their analysis process:
- Reduce the time spent switching between multiple charts.
- Quickly assess market conditions across various timeframes.
- Improve focus by having all relevant information in one view.
### 9. ICT Price Delivery (PD) Arrays
The HTF Multi Candles Display is particularly useful for traders familiar with Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, especially in identifying Price Delivery (PD) arrays:
- Visualize potential PD arrays across multiple timeframes without switching charts.
- Identify key swing highs and lows that form PD array structures.
- Recognize patterns such as Breaker Blocks, Inefficient Price Points, and Fair Value Gaps more easily on higher timeframes.
- Spot potential areas where smart money might be accumulating or distributing by analyzing the relationship between HTF candles.
- Use the series of HTF candles to identify potential Order Blocks, which are often key components of PD arrays.
- Recognize Mitigation Points and Liquidity Voids more effectively by analyzing the structure of multiple HTF candles.
By displaying a series of HTF candles, this indicator allows traders to more easily identify and validate ICT concepts like PD arrays, enhancing their ability to spot high-probability trading opportunities and potential market turning points.

Swing [SMRT Algo]The SMRT Algo Swing indicator is a tool tailored for swing trading, designed to provide traders with insights and entry points on higher timeframes, such as the 1-hour (1H) chart and above. This indicator incorporates a range of features to enhance both trend identification and risk management.
Features:
Bar Colors: The indicator employs a straightforward color-coding system to denote market trends: red bars indicate a bearish trend, and green bars indicate a bullish trend. This immediate visual representation aids traders in quickly discerning the prevailing market direction, facilitating swift decision-making.
Buy & Sell Signals: SMRT Algo Swing generates distinct buy and sell signals categorized into two levels, weak and strong.
- Weak Signals: These signals are generated when the basic entry criteria are met. They serve as early alerts to potential trading opportunities, suitable for traders willing to take on more risk or those employing a more aggressive trading strategy.
- Strong Signals: Generated when additional, more stringent conditions are satisfied, these signals indicate higher-probability trade setups.
EMA Filter: The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) filter is a feature that facilitates trend trading. When turned on, the filter ensures that only signals that align with the prevailing trend are displayed. This helps in avoiding counter-trend trades, which can be riskier and less reliable. The EMA length is customizable, allowing traders to adjust the sensitivity of trend detection based on their trading style and market conditions.
Take Profit & Stop Loss Levels: TP & SL levels are pre-calculated based on a risk-reward ratio:
- TP1: Indicates a conservative 1:1 risk-reward ratio, suitable for quick profit-taking. Goes up to TP3. This approach to TP and SL can help traders define their risk exposure clearly and set realistic profit targets.
Strong signals are designed to provide highly accurate entry points, often referred to as "sniper entries," due to their precision in aligning with market trends. The option to display weak, strong, or both types of signals allows traders to tailor the indicator to their specific trading preferences and risk profiles.
Input Settings:
Bar Color: Bar colors can be turned on/off. Green candles show a bullish market/trend, while red candles show bearish.
Signal: Choose to show either only Strong/Weak/Both buy & sell signals.
Lookback Period: The higher the lookback period, the less frequent the signals. Adjusting this value affects the frequency of the buy sell signals.
EMA Filter: Trend filter can be turned on/off. If on, it will only show buy signals that are above the EMA, and sell signals that are below the EMA.
Timeframe: EMA timeframe can be adjusted, i.e. to view higher timeframe trends.
Length: Used to adjust EMA length. A smaller value means that EMA is more susceptible to market movements.
TP/SL: The take profit & stop loss zones can be turned on/off. The size of TP/SL can also be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the multiplier and length values.
EMA Filter Off:
EMA Filter On:
We recommend traders use this indicator on timeframes 1H and above, with the goal of holding trades over a longer period of time (days, weeks, months) to maximize the market moves.
The integration of these features ensures that the SMRT Algo Swing indicator functions as a cohesive and robust tool for swing traders. The color-coded bars provide an at-a-glance trend overview, which is crucial for context. The buy/sell signals, especially the strong signals, offer entry points that are carefully vetted by the indicator's algorithms. The EMA filter adds a layer of trend confirmation, ensuring that trades are not only timely but also in line with the broader market trend, thereby enhancing the likelihood of success. The TP and SL levels serve as a built-in risk management system, guiding traders on optimal exit points and helping to protect against significant losses.
The SMRT Algo Suite, which the Swing indicator is a part of, offers a comprehensive set of tools and features that extend beyond the capabilities of standard or open-source indicators, providing significant additional value to users.
What you also get with the SMRT Algo Suite:
Advanced Customization: Users can customize various aspects of the indicator, such as toggling the confirmation signals on or off and adjusting the parameters of the MA Filter. This customization enhances the adaptability of the tool to different trading styles and market conditions.

Filter Set E: VWAP
When using the VWAP filter, load the On-Balance Volume (OBV) indicator to complement your analysis. This combination can help confirm volume trends and potential price movements.
Tips:
Look for instances where the VWAP aligns with OBV divergences to confirm or negate potential trade setups.
Tutorial:
- Complement with OBV: Look for volume confirmations.
- Usage: Switch the candles to a line chart. Wait for both the line to close above the VWAP and OBV above the Smoothing Line. Then, switch to Filter Set D and hunt for a long entry as per the strategy. Do the opposite for hunting short entries.
---
Filter Set F: Super Trend
This filter is most effective when paired with the Ichimoku Cloud (using custom settings) along with the MACD and ADX indicators.
Goal:
Gauge trend strength, momentum, and support and resistance levels.
Tutorial:
- Load Ichimoku, MACD, and ADX: To gauge trend strength and momentum.
- Usage Tips:
I use the cloud to look for long periods where the clouds print horizontal levels and use them for support and resistance levels. Alternatively, use the ADX. When the price breaks up through the super trend downtrend line and retraces back to the top of the Ichimoku cloud, switch to Filter Set D and hunt for a long scalp entry. For a short entry, wait for the price to break through the Up Trend Line and retrace back up to the cloud. Then, switch to Filter Set D and use the setup to hunt for a short.
---
Filter Set G: Keltner Channels
Combine this filter with Donchian Channels and the Average True Range (ATR) for enhanced volatility analysis. This filter set works similarly to Filter Set C.
Goal:
Measure volatility and predict breakouts.
Tutorial:
- Load Donchian Channels or ATR: To measure volatility and breakouts.
- Usage Tips:
Look for the price to fall through the Keltner lower line and the ATR making a higher low. Then, use the scalper for entries, with Donchian boundaries as take-profit estimates.
---
Filter Set H: Pivot Points
This filter works with the RSI to spot divergences that could signal a trend change or reversal.
Goal:
Identify divergences and trend reversals.
Tutorial:
- Load RSI: For identifying divergences.
- Usage Tips:
Use RSI in conjunction with pivot points to identify divergences. Then, switch to Filter Set D and use the scalper to hunt for swing entries in the divergence direction.
---
Filter Set I: Opening Range Breakout
This filter uses the Seasonality indicator to gauge investor sentiment and prediction sentiment.
Goal:
Assess market sentiment and predict breakout directions.
Tutorial:
- Load Seasonality Indicator: To assess market sentiment.
- Usage Tips:
Use seasonal trends to gauge potential breakout directions. Use on the daily timeframe only. Risk on investment zones are when the price is close to the ORB low level. Realize investment profit when the price is nearing the ORB high level, considering that there has to be divergence as determined using Filter Set H.
---
By following this structured approach, traders can learn to navigate different market conditions, using TrendScope to make informed decisions based on a comprehensive analysis of momentum, trend, and volatility. The goal is to go through all the filter sets and combine them with the scalp setup in Filter Set D, using the additional filters to adapt to various strategies and market conditions.
Three Anchored Moving Averages (VWAP / SMA / EMA)
This indicator allows users to anchor three types of moving averages (Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)) to specific points in time (anchor points)
Key Features:
Select from three Moving Average Types:
Simple Moving Average (SMA): Averages the closing prices over a specified period.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA): Gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to new information.
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP): Averages the price weighted by volume, useful for understanding the average price at which the asset has traded over a period.
Up to Three Anchor Points:
Users can set up to three different anchor points to calculate the moving averages from specific dates and times. This allows for analysis of price action starting from significant points or specific events. For example, you can anchor to the low and high of a move to identify key levels or to points where the price takes off from a previous anchored MA.
Customisable Sentiment Options:
Each anchor point can be associated with a sentiment input (Auto, Bull, Bear, None), which influences if the MAs are displayed as lines or zones/bands:
Auto: Automatically determines the sentiment based on whether anchor points are on pivot highs and lows. If anchored to a pivot high, the system will assume a bearish sentiment and display a red band or zone between the MA OHLC4 and High. Anchoring to a pivot low will display a green band (OHLC4 - Low).
Bull: Forces a bullish sentiment (Green Band - OHLC4 to Low)
Bear: Forces a bearish sentiment (Red Band - OHLC4 to High)
None: Ignores sentiment and displays a single line (OHLC4)
Chart Matching:
The indicator includes an option to display the moving averages only if the chart symbol matches a specified ticker. This feature ensures that the indicator is relevant to the specific asset being analysed.
How to Use the Indicator:
1. Set Anchor Points: When added to your chart, select three anchor points by point and click. If you only wish to anchor to a single point, click on that point three times and disable the other two in settings once the indicator is applied.
2. Select Moving Average Type: Choose between SMA, EMA, or VWAP using the dropdown menu. EMAs are the most responsive.
3. Enable/Disable Anchor Points: Use the checkboxes to enable or disable each anchor point.
4. Select Sentiment Type: Choose between Auto, Bull, Bear, or None.
5. Chart Matching: Optionally, specify a chart symbol to restrict the indicator's display to that particular asset.
6. Interpret the Plots: The indicator plots the high, mid, and low values of the selected moving average type from each anchor point. The fills between these plots help identify potential support and resistance zones. These should be used as points of interest for pullback reversals or potential continuation if the price breaks through.
Practical Applications:
Trend Analysis: Identify the overall trend direction from specific historical points.
Support and Resistance: Determine key dynamic support and resistance levels based on anchored moving averages.
Event-Based Analysis: Anchor the moving averages to significant events (e.g., earnings releases, economic data) to study their impact on price trends.
Multi Timeframe Analysis: Higher Timeframe Anchors can be used to identify longer term trend analysis. Switching to a lower timeframe for execution triggers at these points wont distort the MA levels as they are anchored to a specific point in time
Intraday or Swing Trading: trend analysis using anchor points can be used for any style of trading (Intraday / Swing / Invest). Use anchored levels as points of interest and wait for hints in price action to try and catch the next move.
MTF-Colored EMA Difference and Stochastic indicatorThis indicator combines two popular technical analysis tools: the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the Stochastic Oscillator, with the added flexibility of analyzing them across multiple time frames. It visually represents the difference between two EMAs and the crossover signals from the Stochastic Oscillator, providing a comprehensive view of the market conditions.
Components:
EMA Difference Histogram :
EMA Calculation : The indicator calculates two EMAs (EMA1 and EMA2) for the selected time frame.
EMA Difference : The difference between EMA1 and EMA2 is plotted as a 4 coloured histogram.
Stochastic Oscillato r:
Calculation : The %K and %D lines of the Stochastic Oscillator are calculated for the selected time frame.
Additional Confirmation via Colors :
Green: %K is above %D, indicating a bullish signal.
Red: %K is below %D, indicating a bearish signal.
Entry and Exit Strategies
Entry Strategy :
Bullish Entry :
Condition 1: The histogram is Dark green (indicating a strong upward trend).
Condition 2: The Stochastic colour is green (%K is above %D).
Bearish Entry :
Condition 1: The histogram is Dark Red (indicating a strong downward trend).
Condition 2: The Stochastic colour is red (%K is below %D).
Exit Strategy:
Bullish Exit:
Condition: The Stochastic colour turns red (%K crosses below %D).
Bearish Exit:
Condition: The Stochastic colour turns green (%K crosses above %D).
Additional Considerations:
Time Frame Selection : The chosen time frame for both the EMA and Stochastic calculations should align with the trader’s strategy (e.g., daily for swing trading, hourly for intraday trading).
Risk Management : Implement stop-loss orders to manage risk effectively. The stop-loss can be placed below the recent swing low for long positions and above the recent swing high for short positions.
Confirmation : Consider using this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm signals and reduce the likelihood of false entries and exits.
Groupings [SS]Hey everyone,
Releasing this indicator called groupings.
If you watch/read my analyses on Tradingview, you will have heard me talk about groups. Groups is something I invented. What it is, is just taking the Euclidean Distance (ED) of the previous 5 candles in a specified period (i.e. daily timeframe, weekly, 1 minute, 5 minute, etc.) and rounding the ED up to a whole number.
I have had great success in this approach because the information provided is broad enough to give leniency in interpretation but narrow enough to hone in on potential moves and target prices.
This indicator is a simplified version of how I do groupings in other software, however it is no less powerful!
What do groups tell us?
A "group" takes into account the previous 5 candles, using the ED. This gives Pinescript a general idea of what the short term trend looks like mathematically. From there, Pinescript can look for other groups that looked similar to how this current trend looks. From there, it can offer us insights into what tends to happen in candles subsequent to this group. For example, the ATR range, the close range and whether it is bearish or bullish.
And that is precisely how this indicator operates, Pinescript will calculate the group of the previous 5 canndles in the timeframe period you are looking at. It will then lookback over the designated "train" length and identify previous groups, and what happened in those groups. It looks specifically at:
- What is that average High ATR associated with that group,
- What is the average Low ATR associated with that group,
- What is the average close range associated with that group,
- What is the sentiment associated with that group.
How to use the indicator?
In terms of use, the indicator is relatively simple to use. It will plot three lines, a red for the anticipated low range, a green for the anticipated high range and purple for the opening range (where the current candle opened at).
In addition, it will plot a dot for the anticipated close area. When the dot is green, it expects a bullish close. When the dot is red, it expects a bearish close.
The indicator is going to give you a heads up as to whether we are in a bullish group, what you can anticipate the high and low range to be and where you can anticipate the close.
Of course, its not always exact, as in the image above you can see it underestimated the high range and over-estimated the low range; however, we did close within the anticipate range.
The indicator is meant to help you with your bias. I will reference this indicator on the daily timeframe at open to see what the expectations are for the day.
However, you can use it on any timeframe you wish.
Other functions:
The indicator can plot the EMA 9, 21 and 5. These are the 3 indicators I like and I find them helpful for both intraday and swing trading. However, they can be toggled off if you do not wish to view them.
In addition, the EMAs will be green if the ticker is trending above the EMA 21 (which is a critical EMA for me to determine the immediate sentiment). If the ticker is below, they will turn red.
There is also the ability to adjust the train time. The default is 1,000 candles back, but I usually have it on 1500. If you have a lot of indicators and a lot going on, on your chart, you may find that 1500 is too much and it will lag/error. That’s okay, 500 candles is sufficient and will not put a lot of stress on Pinescript.
Concluding remarks
Its overall a fairly simple concept and indicator, but it has been a neat and helpful / insightful invention. I originally developed this using R and happy to have now brought it into Pinescript.
I hope you enjoy!
Safe trades everyone!
Ripster MTF CloudsDescription:
MTF EMA Cloud By Ripster
EMA Cloud System is a Trading System Invented by Ripster where areas are shaded between two desired EMAs. The concept implies the EMA cloud area serves as support or resistance for Intraday & Swing Trading. This can be utilized effectively on 10 Min for day trading and 1Hr/Daily for Swings. Ripster himself utilizes various combinations of the 5-12, 34-50, 8-9, 20-21 EMA clouds but the possibilities are endless to find what works best for you.
“Ideally, 5-12 or 5-13 EMA cloud acts as a fluid trendline for day trades. 8-9 EMA Clouds can be used as pullback Levels –(optional). Additionally, a high level price over or under 34-50 EMA clouds confirms either bullish or bearish bias on the price action for any timeframe” – Ripster
This indicator is an extension of the Ripster EMA Clouds. It allows you to visualize Exponential Moving Average (EMA) clouds from any time frame on your current chart, regardless of the chart's own time frame. This functionality is especially useful for traders who want to monitor higher time frame trends and support/resistance levels while trading on lower time frames.
What does this code do?
The Ripster MTF Clouds indicator displays two sets of EMA clouds. Each set consists of a short EMA and a long EMA. By default, the indicator uses Daily 20/21 and 50/55 EMAs, but you can customize these settings to fit your trading strategy. The EMAs are plotted on your chart along with their corresponding clouds, colored for easy differentiation:
EMA 1 (default 50/55): Plotted in blue.
EMA 2 (default 20/21): Plotted in teal.
The indicator uses the security function to fetch EMA values from higher time frames and plots them on your current chart, allowing you to see how these higher time frame EMAs interact with your current time frame's price action.
How to use this indicator:
Adjust Resolution:
Set the "Resolution" input to the time frame from which you want to fetch EMA values. For example, set it to "1H" if you want to see 1-hour EMAs on your current chart.
Customize EMAs:
Modify the "EMA 1 Short Length" and "EMA 1 Long Length" inputs to change the default 50/55 EMAs.
Adjust the "EMA 2 Short Length" and "EMA 2 Long Length" inputs to change the default 20/21 EMAs.
Monitor Clouds:
The indicator fills the area between the short and long EMAs, creating a cloud that helps visualize the trend. A blue cloud indicates the area between the EMA 1 pair, while a teal cloud indicates the area between the EMA 2 pair.
Use Multiple Instances:
You can add multiple instances of this indicator to your chart to monitor multiple higher time frames simultaneously. For instance, one instance can show daily clouds while another shows hourly clouds.
Integration with Trading Strategy:
Use this indicator to identify higher time frame trends and support/resistance levels, which can help improve your trading decisions on lower time frames.
For example, you can go long when the stock is above the 50-55 EMA clouds and 20-21 EMA clouds with daily resolution on a 10-minute chart and short when it is below it.
Similarly, you can short a stock under the 1-hour 34/50 EMA clouds while still trading on a 10-minute chart.

Plan Your Trades: Use the identified support and resistance levels to set your entry and exit points, stop-losses, and profit targets.
Monitor the Market: Stay updated with real-time adjustments of the levels, ensuring you always have the latest market information.
Note: This indicator is designed to enhance your trading analysis by providing clear and reliable support and resistance levels. However, it should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy and not as the sole basis for trading decisions.
Gap Finder with Horizontal LinesBecause I was tired of manually marking gaps, I coded a simple script to automatically mark all candle gaps.
To ensure that all gaps are displayed even when only the wicks of the next candles touch the previous candle, the condition for identifying gaps was adjusted. Now this indicator tracks all gaps live and highlights high-volume price changes, which is important for swing trading or day trading. The code checks if the previous candle is completely below or above the current candle, considering both the bodies and the wicks.
There are a few scenarios where I use this indicator:
Scenario 1:
When the price increases with gaps, there is a high chance the price will come down to fill the gap.
Scenario 2:
When you see a cluster of many gaps and indicator lines, there is a high chance that there was a lot of volume and possible support.
Settings:
Update: You can change the transparency of the Lines to keep your Chart clean.
In the picture above, I marked some gaps that were closed shortly after they appeared. I use this indicator in the 1M timeframe, where gaps are closed very quickly. Some gaps created by the next candle are closed right away.
The code can be used for your private use and benefit, but please don’t forget to like it if you find it useful.
Pivot Points with MID LevelsThis indicator shows the Standard Pivot Points level based on daily values that can act as support and resistance. It is used by a variety of traders around the world. You can select which time frame Pivot Point Levels you'd like. Daily, weekly etc... Perfect for swing trading or day trading.
Pivot Points- Shows 3 levels of resistance, the Pivot Point and 3 levels of support
(R3, R2, R1, PIVOT POINT, S1, S2, S3
MID Levels- The MID levels are 50% retracement from the pivot point level above it and below
Example- R3, MID, R2, MID, R1, MID, PIVOT POINT, MID, S1, MID, S2, MID, S3
With this indicator you will also have the option to show the Previous days High and Low that are also important levels. On gap up/down days it is always interesting to see if price will close the gap, hence the important level to note.
PDH= Previous Days High
PDL= Previous Days Low
I have added a feature that you can now select specific color to each level and the line style for each level to help understand which levels are being show by personal needs.
Happy Trading
Ratio Chart with GMMA■About this indicator
This indicator divides the selected stocks by any stocks you specify and plots the result in a new pane.
At the same time, it plots the GMMA against the result of the division.
This allows you to see the relative chart and trend of the selected stock and the arbitrary stock.
Quote Symbol: Specify the denominator of the division. The default is TOPIX. Feel free to change it.
EMA Days: 5 to 30 days are indicated in green, and 75 to 200 days in red. Change the number of days and color freely.
Explanation of Effective Usage
It is recommended to enter an index for stocks specified in the Quote Symbol.
By entering the index, you can check the superiority of the selected issue and the index at a glance.
Example: By dividing AAPL by SP500, you can see on the chart whether AAPL is stronger or weaker relative to SP500.
(Similar concept to the Relative Strength Comparison RSC.)
At the same time, by plotting GMMA, you can confirm the trend of strength or weakness of the selected issue divided by the index. This is useful for swing trading and mid- to long-term trading.
The greater the distance between the short-term and long-term EMAs of the GMMA, the more the selected stocks outperform the index, and when the short-term and long-term EMAs cross, the trend ends and the stock underperforms the index.
■About the Chart
The screen below shows a chart plotted using this indicator.
For comparison with the regular chart, the upper screen shows only the GMMA plotted for the selected stocks.
From the red circle in the lower screen, a trend begins where the selected stocks outperform the index, and the trend ends at the blue circle.
When the trend ends, the selected stocks will underperform the index and it can be determined that it is more efficient to invest in another stock.

Linear Regression Oscillator [ChartPrime]Linear Regression Oscillator Indicator
Overview:
The Linear Regression Oscillator is a custom TradingView indicator designed to provide insights into potential mean reversion and trend conditions. By calculating a linear regression on the closing prices over a user-defined period, this oscillator helps identify overbought and oversold levels and highlights trend changes. The indicator also offers visual cues and color-coded price bars to aid in quick decision-making.
Key Features:
◆ Customizable Look-Back Period:
Input: Length
Default: 20
Description: Determines the period over which the linear regression is calculated. A longer period smooths the oscillator but may lag, while a shorter period is more responsive but may be noisier.
◆ Overbought and Oversold Thresholds:
Inputs: Upper Threshold and Lower Threshold
Default: 1.5 and -1.5 respectively
Description: Define the upper and lower bounds for identifying overbought and oversold conditions. Values outside these thresholds suggest potential reversals.
◆ Candlestick Color Plotting:
Input: Plot Bar Color
Default: false
Description: Option to color the price bars based on the oscillator's value, providing a visual representation of market conditions. Bars turn cyan for positive oscillator values and blue for negative.
◆ Mean Reversion and Trend Signals:
Visual markers and labels indicate when the oscillator suggests mean reversion or trend changes, aiding in identifying key market turning points.
◆ Invalidation Levels:
Tracks the highest and lowest prices over a recent period to set levels where the current trend signal would be considered invalidated.
◆ Gradient Color Coding:
Utilizes gradient color coding to enhance the visualization of oscillator values, making it easier to interpret overbought and oversold conditions.
◆ Usage Notes:
Setting the Look-Back Period:
Adjust the "Length" input based on the timeframe and the type of trading you are conducting. Shorter periods are more suited for intraday trading, while longer periods can be used for swing trading.
Interpreting Thresholds:
Use the upper and lower threshold inputs to fine-tune the sensitivity of the overbought and oversold signals. Higher absolute values reduce the number of signals but increase their reliability.
Candlestick Coloring:
Enabling the "Plot Bar Color" option can help quickly identify the current state of the oscillator in relation to the zero line. This visual aid can be particularly useful in fast-moving markets.
Mean Reversion and Trend Signals:
Pay attention to the symbols and labels on the chart indicating mean reversion and trend changes. These signals are designed to highlight potential entry and exit points.
Invalidation Levels:
Use the plotted invalidation levels as stop-loss or signal invalidation points. If the price moves beyond these levels, the current trend signal is likely invalid.
This indicator helps traders identify overbought and oversold conditions, potential mean reversions, and trend changes based on the linear regression of the closing prices over a specified look-back period.
Liquidity Hour by Ibramiho v2Liquidity Hour by Ibramiho (Version 2) - Identify High-Potential Reversal Zones

⭐ Key Features
Swing Market Structure: Change of Character, Break of Structure
Recognize and visualize real-time market structures with swing elements. Identify and mark key structural changes in the market to visually highlight shifts in market trends and patterns. This feature is designed to alert you to significant changes in the market's behavior, signaling a potential shift from accumulation to distribution phases, or vice versa. It helps traders adapt their strategies based on evolving market dynamics.
Order Flow: Structure Fractal
Connect the successive structural high and low levels, visualizing the intricate flow of market movements. This feature highlights fractal structures within the market, enabling traders to detect significant price action patterns.
Structure Range: Determine Discount, Premium, and Equilibrium Zones
This feature provides a unique way of visualizing price areas where a security could be overbought or oversold (premium or discount zones) and where the price is expected to be fair and balanced (equilibrium zone). Distance from the current price is displayed in percentage terms, which can assist traders with crucial data for risk management and strategic planning. The Range function helps you identify the most favorable price zones for entries and set your stop-loss and take-profit levels more accurately.
Liquidity Grabs: Reveal Hidden Manipulation Attempts
Identify uncovered market areas where high liquidity trading may take place. Liquidity Grabs help track "smart money" footprints by identifying levels where large institutional traders may have induced liquidity traps. Understanding these traps can aid in avoiding false market moves and optimizing trade entries.
Institutional Interest Zones: Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps
Uncover areas where bigger orders may be lined up. Reveal zones of interest ordered by volume strength. Receive warnings about market price imbalances.
▸ Order Blocks pinpoint crucial zones where large institutional investors ("smart money") have shown strong buying or selling interest recently. These blocks can serve as a tool for identifying key areas for potential trade entries or exits.
▸ Fair Value Gaps detect discrepancies between the perceived market value and the actual market price, revealing potential areas for price correction. With its mitigation settings, you can fine-tune the FVG detection according to the magnitude of value misalignment you consider significant.
Mitigation types dictate how price interacts with a zone, with order blocks requiring a close through (indicating stronger price movement) and fair value gaps requiring a wick through (hinting at weak rejection).

⭐ Why SMC?
In the ever-evolving trading landscape, mainstream methods and strategies can quickly become outdated as they are widely adopted. Liquidity is constantly sought after, and the best source for this is exploring and exploiting trading strategies that are widely accepted and applied. Currently, one of these strategies is the SMC (Supply, Demand, and Price Action).
It's no coincidence that our educational materials incorporate concepts such as liquidity grabs (LG) and Smart Money Traps (SMT). As the application of SMC gains popularity among retail traders, trading with this approach becomes more challenging. Therefore, the recent focus has been on reforming the SMC methodology, as it is the only method that relies on real price movements and will always work when applied correctly.
The indicator reflects our personal use and deep comprehension of Smart Money Concepts. It provides streamlined tools for tracking algorithmic trends with modern visualizations, without unnecessary clutter.
▸ What does the proper application of SMC entail?
Many SMC traders associate their key areas of interest with the market structure, which is generally considered acceptable. However, depending solely on a single foundation can lead to significant deviations, which may cause notable impacts on trading results. Moreover, if the basis for the market structure calculation is inaccurate, the consequences can be even more severe. It's akin to risking money on a lottery ticket, believing it will be a winner.
Our methodology is different, and it may ensure longevity in the financial markets. The structure remains crucial, but it is not the sole foundation of everything; instead, it serves as a validation tool. Each calculation, such as order blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), liquidity grabs (LG), range analysis, and more, is independent and unique, separate from the structure. However, validation must ultimately come from the structure itself.
We employ individual and high-quality filters: before a function calculation is validated by the structure, it must undergo rigorous testing based on its own set of validation conditions. This approach aims to enhance robustness and accuracy, providing traders with a reliable framework for making informed trading decisions.
▸ An example of structure validation: Order Block with "Swing Sensitivity"
These order blocks will only be displayed and utilized by the script if there is a swing structure validation with a valid break. In other words, the presence of a confirmed swing Change of Character (ChoCh) or Break of Structure (BoS) is essential for the Order Block to be considered valid and relevant.
This approach ensures that the order blocks are aligned with the overall market structure and are not based on isolated or unreliable price movements. Whether it's Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Liquidity Grabs (LG), Range calculations, or other functionalities, the same underlying principle holds true. The background structure calculation serves as a validation mechanism for the data and insights generated by these functions, ensuring they adhere to the specific criteria and rules established within our methodology. By incorporating this robust validation process, traders can have confidence in the reliability and accuracy of the information provided by the indicator, allowing them to make informed trading decisions based on validated data and analysis.

👉 Usage - the general approach
Determine your trading style and build your basic strategy:
The indicator helps you understand your trading style, whether it's swing trading, scalping or another approach. By analyzing the SMC indicator, you gain valuable information about potential market trends, entry and exit points, and overall market sentiment.
Steps:
Identify Trading Style: Determine whether you are a swing trader, scalper, or long-term investor. This will influence how you use the indicator.
Analyze Market Trends: Use the SMC indicator to observe market trends and identify potential entry and exit points.
Adapt Strategies: Adjust your strategies based on the market dynamics revealed by the SMC indicator, such as changes in order flow or market structure.
👉 Example of usage
In the following chart, you'll notice how we've utilized the indicator to formulate a strategic trading approach. We've employed Order Blocks equipped with volume parameters to identify crucial market zones. Simultaneously, we've leveraged swing/internal market structures to gain insights into potential long- and short-term market turnarounds. Lastly, we've examined trend line liquidity zones to pinpoint probable impulses and breakouts within ongoing trends.
Now we can see how the price descended to the order block with the highest volume, which we had previously marked as our point of interest for an entry. As the price closed below the median Order Block, we noted its mitigation. After an internal CHoCH, it's directing us towards the main Order Block as a target.

Multi-Timeframe Trend TableThe "Multi-Timeframe Trend Table" indicator is a tool that consolidates a variety of critical trading metrics into a single, easy-to-read table format. This indicator is especially useful for traders who need to analyze multiple timeframes and indicators simultaneously to make informed trading decisions. By displaying a broad spectrum of data including trend information, rangebound status, volatility levels, VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), and specific candlestick patterns, the indicator provides a comprehensive overview of market conditions across different timeframes.
Functionality and Components
At its core, the indicator provides real-time insights into market trends by showing whether each timeframe is experiencing an upward, downward, or neutral trend based on simple moving averages. This is complemented by the "Rangebound" status, which indicates whether the price is trading within a defined range, giving insights into market consolidation periods. This can be critical for identifying breakouts or breakdowns from established ranges.
Volatility Measurement
Another key feature of the indicator is the "Volatility" column, which rates the market's volatility on a scale from 1 to 10. This feature uses the Average True Range (ATR) to assess how drastically prices are changing within a given timeframe, providing a numerical value that helps traders understand the intensity of price movements. High volatility levels (scores above 6) are highlighted, which can be crucial for strategies that prefer high volatility.
VWAP and Candlestick Patterns
The indicator also displays the VWAP, which is essential for traders who focus on volume as it shows the average price a security has traded at throughout the day, based on both volume and price. It is especially useful for traders looking to confirm trend directions or catch potential reversals. Additionally, the "Candle" column enhances the indicator's utility by identifying specific candlestick patterns like Doji, Hammer, Inverted Hammer, Bullish Engulfing, and Bearish Engulfing, which are pivotal for pinpointing momentum changes and potential entry or exit points.
Usage Strategy
Traders can utilize this indicator by setting up specific rules based on the information provided. For instance, a possible strategy could involve entering a trade when a Bullish Engulfing pattern appears in a low-volatility environment as indicated by a volatility score under 6, suggesting a potential uptrend start with limited downside risk. Similarly, a trader might consider exiting a position or taking a short position when a Bearish Engulfing pattern is identified during high volatility periods, signaling possible sharp price declines.
Adaptability and Customization
An added advantage is the indicator’s adaptability; traders can customize which columns to display based on their trading preferences and strategies. Whether focusing on trends, volatility, or candlestick patterns, users can configure the table to match their specific needs. This makes it a versatile tool suited for various trading styles and objectives, from day trading to swing trading.
Overall Utility
Overall, the "Multi-Timeframe Trend Table" indicator is an invaluable asset for traders who manage multiple instruments across different timeframes, offering a bird's-eye view of the markets in one concise table. It aids in quick decision-making by providing all necessary data points at a glance, reducing the need to switch between multiple charts and potentially missing critical market movements.

DEMA RSI Overlay [BackQuant]DEMA RSI Overlay
PLEASE Read the following, knowing what an indicator does at its core before adding it into a system is pivotal. The core concepts can allow you to include it in a logical and sound manner.
Anyways,
BackQuant's new trading indicator that blends the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to create a unique overlay on the trading chart. This combination is not arbitrary; both the DEMA and RSI are revered for their distinct advantages in trading strategy development. Let's delve into the core components of this script, the rationale behind choosing DEMA and RSI, the logic of long and short signals, and its practical trading applications.
Understanding DEMA
DEMA is an enhanced version of the conventional exponential moving average that aims to reduce the lag inherent in traditional averages. It does this by applying more weight to recent prices. The reduction in lag makes DEMA an excellent tool for tracking price trends more closely. In the context of this script, DEMA serves as the foundation for the RSI calculation, offering a smoother and more responsive signal line that can provide clearer trend indications.
Why DEMA?
DEMA is chosen for its responsiveness to price changes. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in fast-moving markets where entering and exiting positions quickly is crucial. By using DEMA as the price source, the script ensures that the signals generated are timely and reflective of the current market conditions, reducing the risk of entering or exiting a trade based on outdated information.
Integrating RSI
The RSI, a momentum oscillator, measures the speed and change of price movements. It oscillates between zero and 100 and is typically used to identify overbought or oversold conditions. In this script, the RSI is calculated based on DEMA, which means it inherits the responsiveness of DEMA, allowing traders to spot potential reversals or continuation signals sooner.
Why RSI?
Incorporating RSI offers a measure of price momentum and market conditions relative to past performance. By setting thresholds for long (buy) and short (sell) signals, the script uses RSI to identify potential turning points in the market, providing traders with strategic entry and exit points.
Calculating Long and Short Signals
Long Signals : These are generated when the RSI of the DEMA crosses above the longThreshold (set at 70 by default) and the closing price is not above the upper volatility band. This suggests that the asset is gaining upward momentum while not being excessively overbought, presenting a potentially favorable buying opportunity.
Short Signals : Generated when the RSI of the DEMA falls below the shortThreshold (set at 55 by default). This indicates that the asset may be losing momentum or entering a downtrend, signaling a possible selling or shorting opportunity.
Logical Soundness
The logic of combining DEMA with RSI for generating trade signals is sound for several reasons:
Timeliness : The use of DEMA ensures that the price source for RSI calculation is up-to-date, making the momentum signals more relevant.
Balance : By setting distinct thresholds for long and short signals, the script balances sensitivity and specificity, aiming to minimize false signals while capturing genuine market movements.
Adaptability : The inclusion of user inputs for periods and thresholds allows traders to customize the indicator to fit various trading styles and timeframes.
Trading Use-Cases
This DEMA RSI Overlay indicator is versatile and can be applied across different markets and timeframes. Its primary use-cases include:
Trend Following: Traders can use it to identify the start of a new trend or the continuation of an existing trend.
Swing Trading: The indicator's sensitivity to price changes makes it ideal for swing traders looking to capitalize on short to medium-term price movements.
Risk Management: By providing clear long and short signals, it helps traders manage their positions more effectively, potentially reducing the risk of significant losses.
Final Note
We have also decided to add in the option of standard deviation bands, calculated on the DEMA, this can be used as a point of confluence rendering trading ranges. Expanding when volatility is high and compressing when it is low.
For example:
This provides the user with a 1, 2, 3 standard deviation band of the DEMA.
