Dynamic Support and Resistance -AYNETExplanation of the Code
Lookback Period:
The lookback input defines how many candles to consider when calculating the support (lowest low) and resistance (highest high).
Support and Resistance Calculation:
ta.highest(high, lookback) identifies the highest high over the last lookback candles.
ta.lowest(low, lookback) identifies the lowest low over the same period.
Dynamic Lines:
The line.new function creates yellow horizontal lines at the calculated support and resistance levels, extending them to the right.
Optional Plot:
plot is used to display the support and resistance levels as lines for visual clarity.
Customization:
You can adjust the lookback period and toggle the visibility of the lines via inputs.
How to Use This Code
Open the Pine Script Editor in TradingView.
Paste the above code into the editor.
Adjust the "Lookback Period for High/Low" to customize how the levels are calculated.
Enable or disable the support and resistance lines as needed.
This will create a chart similar to the one you provided, with horizontal yellow lines dynamically indicating the support and resistance levels. Let me know if you'd like any additional features or customizations!

Renko Live Price Simulation-AYNETHow It Works:
Inputs:
Box Size (box_size): The size of a Renko brick (in price units).
Candle and Wick Colors: Users can customize colors for up and down candles and toggle wicks on or off.
Logic:
The script tracks the renko_open, renko_close, renko_high, and renko_low variables to simulate the formation of Renko bricks.
A new Renko brick is formed when the price moves up or down by the specified box size.
Candle Plotting:
The plotcandle function is used to draw the simulated Renko bricks on the chart.
Wicks are optional and controlled via the show_wicks input.
Visual Guides:
Two lines represent the thresholds for forming the next up or down Renko brick.
Features:
Real-Time Updates:
Bricks dynamically update as the live price moves.
Customizable Parameters:
Box size, candle colors, and wicks can be tailored to user preferences.
Overlay on Regular Chart:
The Renko simulation overlays the existing candlestick chart, providing context for real-time price action.
Threshold Levels:
Visual guides show how far the current price is from forming the next Renko brick.
Usage Instructions:
Copy and paste the script into the Pine Script editor in TradingView.
Customize the box size and colors to your preference.
Apply the indicator to your chart to visualize the Renko simulation in real time.

[AWC] Vector -AYNETThis Pine Script code is a custom indicator designed for TradingView. Its purpose is to visualize the opening and closing prices of a specific timeframe (e.g., weekly, daily, or monthly) by drawing lines between these price points whenever a new bar forms in the specified timeframe. Below is a detailed explanation from a scientific perspective:
1. Input Parameters
The code includes user-defined inputs to customize its functionality:
tf1: This input defines the timeframe (e.g., 'W' for weekly, 'D' for daily). It determines the periodicity for analyzing price data.
icol: This input specifies the color of the lines drawn on the chart. Users can select from predefined options such as black, red, or blue.
2. Color Assignment
A switch statement maps the user’s color selection (icol) to the corresponding color object in Pine Script. This mapping ensures that the drawn lines adhere to the user's preference.
3. New Bar Detection
The script uses the ta.change(time(tf1)) function to determine when a new bar forms in the specified timeframe (tf1):
ta.change checks if the timestamp of the current bar differs from the previous one within the selected timeframe.
If the value changes, it indicates that a new bar has formed, and further calculations are triggered.
4. Data Request
The script employs request.security to fetch price data from the specified timeframe:
o1: Retrieves the opening price of the previous bar.
c1: Calculates the average price (high, low, close) of the previous bar using the hlc3 formula.
These values represent the key price levels for visualizing the line.
5. Line Drawing
When a new bar is detected:
The script uses line.new to create a line connecting the previous bar's opening price (o1) and the closing price (c1).
The line’s properties are defined as follows:
x1, y1: The starting point corresponds to the opening price at the previous bar index.
x2, y2: The endpoint corresponds to the closing price at the current bar index.
color: Uses the user-defined color (col).
style: The line style is set to line.style_arrow_right.
Additionally, the lines are stored in an array (lines) for later reference, enabling potential modifications or deletions.
6. Visual Outcome
The script visually represents price movements over the specified timeframe:
Each line connects the opening and closing price of a completed bar in the given timeframe.
The lines are drawn dynamically, updating whenever a new bar forms.
Scientific Context
This script applies concepts of time series analysis and visualization in financial data:
Time Segmentation: By isolating specific timeframes (e.g., weekly), the script provides a focused analysis of price behavior.
Price Dynamics: Connecting opening and closing prices highlights key price transitions within each period.
User Customization: The inclusion of inputs allows for adaptable use, accommodating different analytical preferences.
Applications
Trend Analysis: Identifies how price evolves between opening and closing levels across periods.
Market Behavior Comparison: Facilitates the observation of patterns or anomalies in price transitions over time.
Technical Indicators: Serves as a supplementary tool for decision-making in trading strategies.
If further enhancements or customizations are needed, let me know! 😊
Honest Volatility Grid [Honestcowboy]The Honest Volatility Grid is an attempt at creating a robust grid trading strategy but without standard levels.
Normal grid systems use price levels like 1.01;1.02;1.03;1.04... and place an order at each of these levels. In this program instead we create a grid using keltner channels using a long term moving average.
🟦 IS THIS EVEN USEFUL?
The idea is to have a more fluid style of trading where levels expand and follow price and do not stick to precreated levels. This however also makes each closed trade different instead of using fixed take profit levels. In this strategy a take profit level can even be a loss. It is useful as a strategy because it works in a different way than most strategies, making it a good tool to diversify a portfolio of trading strategies.
🟦 STRATEGY
There are 10 levels below the moving average and 10 above the moving average. For each side of the moving average the strategy uses 1 to 3 orders maximum (3 shorts at top, 3 longs at bottom). For instance you buy at level 2 below moving average and you increase position size when level 6 is reached (a cheaper price) in order to spread risks.
By default the strategy exits all trades when the moving average is reached, this makes it a mean reversion strategy. It is specifically designed for the forex market as these in my experience exhibit a lot of ranging behaviour on all the timeframes below daily.
There is also a stop loss at the outer band by default, in case price moves too far from the mean.
What are the risks?
In case price decides to stay below the moving average and never reaches the outer band one trade can create a very substantial loss, as the bands will keep following price and are not at a fixed level.
Explanation of default parameters
By default the strategy uses a starting capital of 25000$, this is realistic for retail traders.
Lot sizes at each level are set to minimum lot size 0.01, there is no reason for the default to be risky, if you want to risk more or increase equity curve increase the number at your own risk.
Slippage set to 20 points: that's a normal 2 pip slippage you will find on brokers.
Fill limit assumtion 20 points: so it takes 2 pips to confirm a fill, normal forex spread.
Commission is set to 0.00005 per contract: this means that for each contract traded there is a 5$ or whatever base currency pair has as commission. The number is set to 0.00005 because pinescript does not know that 1 contract is 100000 units. So we divide the number by 100000 to get a realistic commission.
The script will also multiply lot size by 100000 because pinescript does not know that lots are 100000 units in forex.
Extra safety limit
Normally the script uses strategy.exit() to exit trades at TP or SL. But because these are created 1 bar after a limit or stop order is filled in pinescript. There are strategy.orders set at the outer boundaries of the script to hedge against that risk. These get deleted bar after the first order is filled. Purely to counteract news bars or huge spikes in price messing up backtest.
🟦 VISUAL GOODIES
I've added a market profile feature to the edge of the grid. This so you can see in which grid zone market has been the most over X bars in the past. Some traders may wish to only turn on the strategy whenever the market profile displays specific characteristics (ranging market for instance).
These simply count how many times a high, low, or close price has been in each zone for X bars in the past. it's these purple boxes at the right side of the chart.
🟦 Script can be fully automated to MT5
There are risk settings in lot sizes or % for alerts and symbol settings provided at the bottom of the indicator. The script will send alert to MT5 broker trying to mimic the execution that happens on tradingview. There are always delays when using a bridge to MT5 broker and there could be errors so be mindful of that. This script sends alerts in format so they can be read by tradingview.to which is a bridge between the platforms.
Use the all alert function calls feature when setting up alerts and make sure you provide the right webhook if you want to use this approach.
Almost every setting in this indicator has a tooltip added to it. So if any setting is not clear hover over the (?) icon on the right of the setting.
No Trade Zone Indicator [CHE]No Trade Zone Indicator
The "No Trade Zone Indicator " is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify periods when the market may not present favorable trading opportunities. By analyzing the percentage change in the 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA20) relative to a dynamically adjusted threshold based on market volatility, this indicator highlights times when it's prudent to stay out of the market.
Why Knowing When Not to Trade Is Important
Understanding when not to trade is just as crucial as knowing when to enter or exit a position. Trading during periods of low volatility or uncertain market direction can lead to unnecessary risks and potential losses. By recognizing these "No Trade Zones," you can:
- Avoid Low-Probability Trades: Reduce the chances of entering trades with unfavorable risk-to-reward ratios.
- Preserve Capital: Protect your investment from unpredictable market movements.
- Enhance Focus: Concentrate on high-quality trading opportunities that align with your strategy.
How the Indicator Works
- SMA20 Calculation: Computes the 20-period Simple Moving Average of closing prices to identify the market's short-term trend.
- ATR Measurement: Calculates the Average True Range (ATR) over a user-defined period (default is 14) to assess market volatility.
- Dynamic Threshold: Determines an adjusted threshold by multiplying the ATR percentage by a Threshold Adjustment Factor (default is 0.05).
- Trend Analysis: Compares the percentage change of the SMA20 against the adjusted threshold to evaluate market momentum.
- Status Identification:
- Long: Indicates a rising SMA20 above the threshold—suggesting a potential upward trend.
- Short: Indicates a falling SMA20 above the threshold—suggesting a potential downward trend.
- No Trade: Signals when the SMA20 change is below the threshold, marking a period of low volatility or indecision.
Features
- Customizable Settings: Adjust the ATR period and Threshold Adjustment Factor to suit different trading styles and market conditions.
- Visual Indicators: Colored columns represent market status—green for "Long," red for "Short," and gray for "No Trade."
- On-Chart Table: An optional table displays the current market status directly on your chart for quick reference.
- Alerts: Set up alerts to receive notifications when the market enters a "No Trade Zone," helping you stay informed without constant monitoring.
How to Use the Indicator
1. Add to Chart: Apply the "No Trade Zone Indicator " to your preferred trading chart on TradingView.
2. Configure Settings: Customize the ATR period and Threshold Adjustment Factor based on your analysis and risk tolerance.
3. Interpret Signals:
- Green Columns: Consider looking for buying opportunities as the market shows upward momentum.
- Red Columns: Consider looking for selling opportunities as the market shows downward momentum.
- Gray Columns: Refrain from trading as the market lacks clear direction.
4. Monitor Alerts: Use the alert feature to get notified when the market status changes, allowing you to make timely decisions.
Conclusion
Incorporating the "No Trade Zone Indicator " into your trading toolkit can enhance your decision-making process by clearly indicating when the market may not be conducive to trading. By focusing on periods with favorable conditions and avoiding low-volatility times, you can improve your trading performance and achieve better results over the long term.

SMC StrategyThis Pine Script strategy is based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC), designed for TradingView. Here's a brief summary of what the script does:
1. Swing High and Low Calculation: It identifies recent swing highs and lows, which are used to define key zones.
2. Equilibrium, Premium, and Discount Zones:
- Equilibrium is the midpoint between the swing high and low.
- Premium Zone is above the equilibrium, indicating a potential resistance area (sell zone).
- Discount Zone is below the equilibrium, indicating a potential support area (buy zone).
3. Simple Moving Average (SMA): It uses a 50-period SMA to determine the trend direction. If the price is above the SMA, the trend is bullish; if it's below, the trend is bearish.
4. Buy and Sell Signals:
- Buy Signal: Generated when the price is in the discount zone and above the equilibrium, with the price also above the SMA.
- Sell Signal: Triggered when the price is in the premium zone and below the equilibrium, with the price also below the SMA.
5. Order Blocks: It detects basic order blocks by identifying the highest high and lowest low within the last 20 bars. These levels help confirm the buy and sell signals.
6. Liquidity Zones: It marks the swing high and low as potential liquidity zones, indicating where price may reverse due to institutional players' activity.
The strategy then executes trades based on these signals, plotting buy and sell markers on the chart and showing the key levels (zones) and trend direction.
Watchlist & Symbols Distribution [Daveatt]TLDR;
I got bored so I just coded the TradingView watchlist interface in Pinescript :)
TLDR 2:
Sharing it open-source what took me 1 full day to code - haven't coded in Pinescript in a long time, so I'm a bit slow for now :)
█ OVERVIEW
This script offers a comprehensive market analysis tool inspired by TradingView's native watchlist interface features.
It combines an interactive watchlist with powerful distribution visualization capabilities and a performance comparison panel.
The script was developed with a focus on providing multiple visualization methods while working within PineScript's limitations.
█ DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND
The pie chart implementation was greatly inspired by the ( "Crypto Map Dashboard" script / )
adapting its circular visualization technique to create dynamic distribution charts. However, due to PineScript's 500-line limitation per script, I had to optimize the code to allow users to switch between pie chart analysis and performance comparison modes rather than displaying both simultaneously.
█ SETUP AND DISPLAY
For optimal visualization, users need to adjust the chart's display settings manually.
This involves:
Expanding the indicator window vertically to accommodate both the watchlist and graphical elements
Adjusting the Y-axis scale by dragging it to ensure proper spacing for the comparison panel grid
Modifying the X-axis scale to achieve the desired time window display
Fine-tuning these adjustments whenever switching between pie chart and comparison panel modes
These manual adjustments are necessary due to PineScript's limitations in controlling chart scaling programmatically. While this requires some initial setup, it allows users to customize the display to their preferred viewing proportions.
█ MAIN FEATURES
Distribution Analysis
The script provides three distinct distribution visualization modes through a pie chart.
Users can analyze their symbols by exchanges, asset types (such as Crypto, Forex, Futures), or market sectors.
If you can't see it well at first, adjust your chart scaling until it's displayed nicely.
Asset Exchanges
www.tradingview.com
Asset Types
Asset Sectors
The pie charts feature an optional 3D effect with adjustable depth and angle parameters. To enhance visual customization, four different color schemes are available: Default, Pastel, Dark, and Neon.
Each segment of the pie chart includes interactive tooltips that can be configured to show different levels of detail. Importantly, the pie chart only visualizes the distribution of selected assets (those marked with a checkmark in the watchlist), providing a focused view of the user's current interests.
Interactive Watchlist
The watchlist component displays real-time data for up to 10 user-defined symbols. Each entry shows current price, price changes (both absolute and percentage), volume metrics, and a comparison toggle.
The table is dynamically updated and features color-coded entries that correspond to their respective performance lines in the comparison chart. The watchlist serves as both an information display and a control panel for the comparison feature.
Performance Comparison
One of the script's most innovative features is its performance comparison panel.
Using polylines for smooth visualization, it tracks the 30-day performance of selected symbols relative to a 0% baseline.
The comparison chart includes a sophisticated grid system with 5% intervals and a dynamic legend showing current performance values.
The polyline implementation allows for fluid, continuous lines that accurately represent price movements, providing a more refined visual experience than traditional line plots. Like the pie charts, the comparison panel only displays performance lines for symbols that have been selected in the watchlist, allowing users to focus on their specific assets of interest.
█ TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION
The script utilizes several advanced PineScript features:
Dynamic array management for symbol tracking
Polyline-based charting for smooth performance visualization
Real-time data processing with security calls
Interactive tooltips and labels
Optimized drawing routines to maintain performance
Selective visualization based on user choices
█ CUSTOMIZATION
Users can personalize almost every aspect of the script:
Symbol selection and comparison preferences
Visual theme selection with four distinct color schemes
Pie chart dimensions and positioning
Tooltip information density
Component visibility toggles
█ LIMITATIONS
The primary limitation stems from PineScript's 500-line restriction per script.
This constraint necessitated the implementation of a mode-switching system between pie charts and the comparison panel, as displaying both simultaneously would exceed the line limit. Additionally, the script relies on manual chart scale adjustments, as PineScript doesn't provide direct control over chart scaling when overlay=false is enabled.
However, these limitations led to a more focused and efficient design approach that gives users control over their viewing experience.
█ CONCLUSION
All those tools exist in the native TradingView watchlist interface and they're better than what I just did.
However, now it exists in Pinescript... so I believe it's a win lol :)
Monday Open StrategyYear Range Inputs:
start_year and end_year allow you to define the range of years in which the strategy will execute.
You can adjust these values in the script’s settings panel in TradingView.
Entry Condition:
The strategy checks that the current year falls within the specified range before entering a trade on Monday’s open.
Exit Condition:
Similarly, it only exits on Tuesday’s close if the current year is within the specified range.
This setup ensures that trades only take place between the defined years, effectively filtering out unwanted trades outside this timeframe.

Equilibrium Candles + Pattern [Honestcowboy]The Equilibrium Candles is a very simple trend continuation or reversal strategy depending on your settings.
How an Equilibrium Candle is created:
We calculate the equilibrium by measuring the mid point between highest and lowest point over X amount of bars back.
This now is the opening price for each bar and will be considered a green bar if price closes above equilibrium.
Bars get shaded by checking if regular candle close is higher than open etc. So you still see what the normal candles are doing.
Why are they useful?
The equilibrium is calculated the same as Baseline in Ichimoku Cloud. Which provides a point where price is very likely to retrace to. This script visualises the distance between close and equilibrium using candles. To provide a clear visual of how price relates to this equilibrium point.
This also makes it more straightforward to develop strategies based on this simple concept and makes the trader purely focus on this relationship and not think of any Ichimoku Cloud theories.
Script uses a very simple pattern to enter trades:
It will count how many candles have been one directional (above or below equilibrium)
Based on user input after X candles (7 by default) script shows we are in a trend (bg colors)
On the first pullback (candle closes on other side of equilibrium) it will look to enter a trade.
Places a stop order at the high of the candle if bullish trend or reverse if bearish trend.
If based on user input after X opposite candles (2 by default) order is not filled will cancel it and look for a new trend.
Use Reverse Logic:
There is a use reverse logic in the settings which on default is turned on. It will turn long orders into short orders making the stop orders become limit orders. It will use the normal long SL as target for the short. And TP as stop for the short. This to provide a means to reverse equity curve in case your pair is mean reverting by nature instead of trending.
ATR Calculation:
Averaged ATR, which is using ta.percentile_nearest_rank of 60% of a normal ATR (14 period) over the last 200 bars. This in simple words finds a value slightly above the mean ATR value over that period.
Big Candle Exit Logic:
Using Averaged ATR the script will check if a candle closes X times that ATR from the equilibrium point. This is then considered an overextension and all trades are closed.
This is also based on user input.
Simple trade management logic:
Checks if the user has selected to use TP and SL, or/and big candle exit.
Places a TP and SL based on averaged ATR at a multiplier based on user Input.
Closes trade if there is a Big Candle Exit or an opposite direction signal from indicator.
Script can be fully automated to MT5
There are risk settings in % and symbol settings provided at the bottom of the indicator. The script will send alert to MT5 broker trying to mimic the execution that happens on tradingview. There are always delays when using a bridge to MT5 broker and there could be errors so be mindful of that. This script sends alerts in format so they can be read by tradingview.to which is a bridge between the platforms.
Use the all alert function calls feature when setting up alerts and make sure you provide the right webhook if you want to use this approach.
There is also a simple buy and sell alert feature if you don't want to fully automate but still get alerts. These are available in the dropdown when creating an alert.
Almost every setting in this indicator has a tooltip added to it. So if any setting is not clear hover over the (?) icon on the right of the setting.
The backtest uses a 4% exposure per trade and a 10 point slippage. I did not include a commission cause I'm not personaly aware what the commissions are on most forex brokers. I'm only aware of minimal slippage to use in a backtest. Trading conditions vary per broker you use so always pay close attention to trading costs on your own broker. Use a full automation at your own risk and discretion and do proper backtesting.
Relative Measured Volatility (RMV) – Spot Tight Entry ZonesTitle: Relative Measured Volatility (RMV) – Spot Tight Entry Zones
Introduction
The Relative Measured Volatility (RMV) indicator is designed to highlight tight price consolidation zones , making it an ideal tool for traders seeking optimal entry points before potential breakouts. By focusing on tightness rather than general volatility, RMV offers traders a practical way to detect consolidation phases that often precede significant market moves.
How RMV Works
The RMV calculates short-term tightness by averaging three ATR (Average True Range) values over different lookback periods and then normalizing them within a specified lookback window. The result is a percentage-based scale from 0 to 100, indicating how tight the current price range is compared to recent history.
Here’s the breakdown:
Three ATR values are computed using user-defined short lookback periods to represent short-term price movements. An average of the ATRs provides a smoothed measure of current tightness. The RMV normalizes this average against the highest and lowest values over the defined lookback period, scaling it from 0 to 100.
This approach helps traders identify consolidation zones that are more likely to lead to breakouts.
Key Features of RMV
Multi-Period ATR Calculation : Uses three ATR values to effectively capture market tightness over the short term. Normalization : Converts the tightness measure to a 0-100 scale for easy interpretation. Dynamic Histogram and Background Colors : The RMV indicator uses a color-coded system for clarity.
How to Use the RMV Indicator
Identify Tight Consolidation Zones:
a - RMV values between 0-10 indicate very tight price ranges, making this the most optimal zone for potential entries before breakouts.
b - RMV values between 11-20 suggest moderate tightness, still favorable for entries.
Monitor Potential Breakout Areas:
As RMV moves from 21-30 , tightness reduces, signaling expanding volatility that may require wider stops or more flexible entry strategies.
Adjust Trading Strategies:
Use RMV values to identify tight zones for entering trades, especially in trending markets or at key support/resistance levels.
Customize the Indicator:
a - Adjust the short-term ATR lookback periods to control sensitivity.
b - Modify the lookback period to match your trading horizon, whether short-term or long-term.

CMF and Scaled EFI OverlayCMF and Scaled EFI Overlay Indicator
Overview
The CMF and Scaled EFI Overlay indicator combines the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) and a scaled version of the Elder Force Index (EFI) into a single chart. This allows traders to analyze both indicators simultaneously, facilitating better insights into market momentum and volume dynamics , specifically focusing on buying/selling pressure and momentum , without compromising the integrity of either indicator.
Purpose
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF): Measures buying and selling pressure by evaluating price and volume over a specified period. It indicates accumulation (buying pressure) when values are positive and distribution (selling pressure) when values are negative.
Elder Force Index (EFI): Combines price changes and volume to assess the momentum behind market moves. Positive values indicate upward momentum (prices rising with strong volume), while negative values indicate downward momentum (prices falling with strong volume).
By scaling the EFI to match the amplitude of the CMF, this indicator enables a direct comparison between pressure and momentum , preserving their shapes and zero crossings. Traders can observe the relationship between price movements, volume, and momentum more effectively, aiding in decision-making.
Understanding Pressure vs. Momentum
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF):
- Indicates the level of demand (buying pressure) or supply (selling pressure) in the market based on volume and price movements.
- Accumulation: When institutional or large investors are buying significant amounts of an asset, leading to an increase in buying pressure.
- Distribution: When these investors are selling off their holdings, increasing selling pressure.
Elder Force Index (EFI):
- Measures the strength and speed of price movements, indicating how forceful the current trend is.
- Positive Momentum: Prices are rising quickly, indicating a strong uptrend.
- Negative Momentum: Prices are falling rapidly, indicating a strong downtrend.
Understanding the difference between pressure and momentum is crucial. For example, a market may exhibit strong buying pressure (positive CMF) but weak momentum (low EFI), suggesting accumulation without significant price movement yet.
Features
Overlay of CMF and Scaled EFI: Both indicators are plotted on the same chart for easy comparison of pressure and momentum dynamics.
Customizable Parameters: Adjust lengths for CMF and EFI calculations and fine-tune the scaling factor for optimal alignment.
Preserved Indicator Integrity: The scaling method preserves the shape and zero crossings of the EFI, ensuring accurate analysis.
How It Works
CMF Calculation:
- Calculates the Money Flow Multiplier (MFM) and Money Flow Volume (MFV) to assess buying and selling pressure.
- CMF is computed by summing the MFV over the specified length and dividing by the sum of volume over the same period:
CMF = (Sum of MFV over n periods) / (Sum of Volume over n periods)
EFI Calculation:
- Calculates the EFI using the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the price change multiplied by volume:
EFI = EMA(n, Change in Close * Volume)
Scaling the EFI:
- The EFI is scaled by multiplying it with a user-defined scaling factor to match the CMF's amplitude.
Plotting:
- Both the CMF and the scaled EFI are plotted on the same chart.
- A zero line is included for reference, aiding in identifying crossovers and divergences.
Indicator Settings
Inputs
CMF Length (`cmf_length`):
- Default: 20
- Description: The number of periods over which the CMF is calculated. A higher value smooths the indicator but may delay signals.
EFI Length (`efi_length`):
- Default: 13
- Description: The EMA length for the EFI calculation. Adjusting this value affects the sensitivity of the EFI to price changes.
EFI Scaling Factor (`efi_scaling_factor`):
- Default: 0.000001
- Description: A constant used to scale the EFI to match the CMF's amplitude. Fine-tuning this value ensures the indicators align visually.
How to Adjust the EFI Scaling Factor
Start with the Default Value:
- Begin with the default scaling factor of `0.000001`.
Visual Inspection:
- Observe the plotted indicators. If the EFI appears too large or small compared to the CMF, proceed to adjust the scaling factor.
Fine-Tune the Scaling Factor:
- Increase or decrease the scaling factor incrementally (e.g., `0.000005`, `0.00001`, `0.00005`) until the amplitudes of the CMF and EFI visually align.
- The optimal scaling factor may vary depending on the asset and timeframe.
Verify Alignment:
- Ensure that the scaled EFI preserves the shape and zero crossings of the original EFI.
- Overlay the original EFI (if desired) to confirm alignment.
How to Use the Indicator
Analyze Buying/Selling Pressure and Momentum:
- Positive CMF (>0): Indicates accumulation (buying pressure).
- Negative CMF (<0): Indicates distribution (selling pressure).
- Positive EFI: Indicates positive momentum (prices rising with strong volume).
- Negative EFI: Indicates negative momentum (prices falling with strong volume).
Look for Indicator Alignment:
- Both CMF and EFI Positive:
- Suggests strong bullish conditions with both buying pressure and upward momentum.
- Both CMF and EFI Negative:
- Indicates strong bearish conditions with selling pressure and downward momentum.
Identify Divergences:
- CMF Positive, EFI Negative:
- Buying pressure exists, but momentum is negative; potential for a bullish reversal if momentum shifts.
- CMF Negative, EFI Positive:
- Selling pressure exists despite rising prices; caution advised as it may indicate a potential bearish reversal.
Confirm Signals with Other Analysis:
- Use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools (e.g., trend lines, support/resistance levels) to confirm trading decisions.
Example Usage
Scenario 1: Bullish Alignment
- CMF Positive: Indicates accumulation (buying pressure).
- EFI Positive and Increasing: Shows strengthening upward momentum.
- Interpretation:
- Strong bullish signal suggesting that buyers are active, and the price is likely to continue rising.
- Action:
- Consider entering a long position or adding to existing ones.
Scenario 2: Bearish Divergence
- CMF Negative: Indicates distribution (selling pressure).
- EFI Positive but Decreasing: Momentum is positive but weakening.
- Interpretation:
- Potential bearish reversal; price may be rising but underlying selling pressure suggests caution.
- Action:
- Be cautious with long positions; consider tightening stop-losses or preparing for a possible trend reversal.
Tips

Time Based 3 Candle Model CRT FrameworkThe 3 Candle Model Overview:
The 3 Candle Model serves as a sophisticated framework for traders to navigate the complexities of financial markets, particularly within futures and forex trading. This guide not only elaborates on the model's key features but also emphasizes its originality and practical usefulness in the TradingView community. The core principle of the 3 Candle Model revolves around understanding how candle patterns can represent significant price ranges, offering valuable insights into potential market movements. By integrating the model with other critical trading concepts such as the Power of Three (PO3), Open-High-Low-Close (OHLC), and Turtle Soup setups, traders can enhance their ability to identify high-probability trades and achieve better trading outcomes.
Indicator includes:
3 Customizable Timeframe choices to fractally frame 3 candle models for precision
Live Timers for each timeframe to always be aware of the models timing
Parent Candle tracking on every preffered timeframe until new models parent candle is printed
Key Features of the 3 Candle Model
The 3 Candle Model primarily utilizes a three-candle structure, where the first candle establishes a price range, the second candle may act as a confirmation (often termed a "turtle soup"), and the third candle provides the breakout or continuation. This structure is pivotal in determining entry and exit points for trades, ensuring that each trading decision is backed by solid price action analysis.
OHLC Principle:
The Open-High-Low-Close (OHLC) concept is integral to the 3 Candle Model, allowing traders to analyze price action more effectively. Understanding the relationship between these four price points helps traders gauge market sentiment and potential reversals. By incorporating OHLC into the model, traders can develop a deeper understanding of market structure and its implications for future price movements.
Delivery States:
The 3 Candle Model emphasizes the importance of delivery states, which refer to the market's phase during specific time frames. Recognizing these states aids traders in determining the appropriate conditions for entering trades, particularly when combined with the power of three and candle range patterns. This understanding is crucial for positioning trades in alignment with market momentum.
High Probability Setups:
By aligning the 3 Candle Model with inside bar setups, traders can optimize their strategies for high-probability outcomes. This approach capitalizes on the inherent fractal nature of price movements, where previous patterns repeat at different scales. The combination of the model and inside bar setups enhances the trader's toolkit, allowing for more strategic trade placements.
Turtle Soup Formation:
The 3 Candle Model intricately connects with the Turtle Soup concept, which focuses on false breakouts. Identifying these formations at critical levels enhances the trader's ability to anticipate reversals or continuation patterns. The timing of these setups, particularly during specified times like 3:00 AM, 6:00 AM, 9:00 AM, and 1:00 PM, is crucial for maximizing trade success.
Using the 3 Candle Model in Trading
Integration with PO3:
The Power of Three (PO3) is a fundamental aspect of the 3 Candle Model that emphasizes the significance of three distinct stages of price delivery. Traders can leverage this principle by observing the initial range, confirming patterns, and executing trades during the third phase, leading to higher risk-to-reward ratios. This three-stage approach enhances a trader's ability to make informed decisions based on market behavior.
Targeting Midpoints:
Successful application of the 3 Candle Model involves targeting the midpoints of identified ranges. This practice not only provides strategic entry points but also enhances the probability of reaching desired profit levels. By targeting these midpoints, traders can refine their exit strategies and manage risk more effectively.
Aligning with Market Timing:
Timing is everything in trading. By synchronizing the 3 Candle Model setups with the aforementioned key timeframes, traders can better position themselves to exploit market dynamics. This alignment also facilitates the identification of high-quality trades that exhibit strong potential for profitability.
Prioritizing A+ Setups:
By focusing on the 3 Candle Model and its associated concepts, traders can prioritize A+ setups that exhibit a strong alignment of factors. This methodical approach enhances the quality of trades taken, leading to improved overall performance. By cultivating a strategy centered on high-probability setups, traders can maximize their return on investment.

Realized Price Profit/Loss Margin [VWAP Optimized]Shaded Profit/Loss Margin Oscillator
The Shaded Profit/Loss Margin Oscillator is a powerful tool designed to measure Bitcoin’s Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL). This metric reflects the difference between Bitcoin’s current market price and its realized price, which approximates the price at which coins were last moved. By smoothing the NUPL using a moving average, the indicator provides a clean purple oscillator line that helps users easily gauge market sentiment. When the oscillator is above the zero line, the market is in profit, and when it is below zero, participants are generally in a state of unrealized loss. The shaded area between the oscillator and the zero line enhances visual clarity, making it easier to identify potential shifts in market behavior such as profit-taking or capitulation.
Unique Features and Added Value
What sets this indicator apart from traditional NUPL indicators is the use of a volume-weighted average price (VWAP) as a proxy for the realized price. Unlike the original on-chain NUPL metric, which relies on complex on-chain data, this indicator leverages VWAP to provide an approximation of realized price based solely on price and volume data available directly on TradingView. This method makes it highly accessible to traders who don’t have access to on-chain data platforms.
The use of VWAP not only simplifies the calculation but also provides additional value, as it incorporates volume into the realized price estimation. This volume-sensitive approach may offer a more responsive and dynamic reflection of realized prices compared to on-chain models, which can sometimes lag. In essence, this VWAP-based NUPL oscillator offers a unique edge in tracking profit/loss margins, particularly for traders who want a straightforward and efficient way to gauge sentiment without relying on external on-chain data sources. It brings the essence of NUPL into the world of technical analysis in an accessible and actionable way.

Larry Williams Valuation Index [tradeviZion]Larry Williams Valuation Index
Welcome to the Larry Williams Valuation Index by tradeviZion! This script is an interpretation of Larry Williams' famous WillVal (Valuation) Index, originally developed in 1990 to help traders determine whether a market or asset is overvalued or undervalued. We've extended it to support multiple securities and offer alerts for different valuation levels, helping you make more informed trading decisions.
What is the Valuation Index?
The Valuation Index measures how a security's current price compares to its historical price action. It helps identify whether the security is overvalued (priced too high), undervalued (priced too low), or in a normal range.
This version supports multiple securities and uses valuation parameters to help you assess the relative valuation of three securities simultaneously. It can help you determine the best times to enter (buy) or exit (sell) the market.
Key Features
Multi-Security Analysis: Analyze up to three securities simultaneously to get a broader view of market conditions.
Valuation Levels: Automatically calculate overvaluation and undervaluation levels or set manual levels for consistent analysis.
Custom Alerts: Create custom alerts when securities move between overvalued, undervalued, or normal ranges.
Customizable Table Display: Display a table with valuation values and their status on the chart.
Getting Started
Step 1: Adding the Script to Your Chart
First, add the Larry Williams Valuation Index script to your chart on TradingView. The script is designed to work with any timeframe, but for best results, use weekly or daily timeframes for a longer-term perspective.
Step 2: Configuring Securities
The script allows you to analyze up to three different securities :
Security 1 (Default: DXY)
Security 2 (Default: GC1!)
Security 3 (Default: ZB1!)
You can enable or disable each security individually.
Custom Timeframe Option: You have the option to select a custom timeframe for analysis. This allows you to see whether the security is overvalued or undervalued in lower or higher timeframes. Note that this feature is experimental and has not been extensively tested. Larry Williams originally used the weekly timeframe to determine if a stock was overvalued or undervalued. By default, the indicator compares the current price with the security based on the selected timeframe, except if you choose to use a custom timeframe.
Pro Tip : New users can start with the default securities to understand the concept before using other assets.
Step 3: Valuation Index Settings
Short EMA Length : This is the short-term average used for calculations. A lower value makes it more responsive to recent price changes.
Long EMA Length : This is the long-term average, used to smooth the valuation over time.
Valuation Length (Default: 156) : Represents approximately three years of daily bars (as recommended by Larry Williams).
How is the Valuation Index Calculated?
The valuation calculation is done using a method called WVI (WillVal Index), which compares the current price of a security to the price of another correlated security. Here’s a step-by-step explanation:
1. Data Collection: The script takes the closing price of the security you are analyzing and the closing price of the correlated security.
2. Ratio Calculation : The ratio of the two prices is calculated:
Price Ratio = (Price of your security) / (Price of correlated security) * 100.
This ratio helps determine how expensive or cheap your security is compared to the correlated one.
3. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) : The price ratio is used to calculate short-term and long-term EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages). EMAs are used to create smooth lines that represent the average price of a security over a specific period of time, with more weight given to recent data. By calculating both short-term and long-term EMAs, we can identify the trend direction and how the security is performing compared to its historical averages.
4. Valuation Index Calculation:
The Valuation Index is calculated as the difference between the short-term EMA and the long-term EMA. This difference helps to determine if the security is currently overvalued or undervalued:
A positive value indicates that the price is above its longer-term trend, suggesting potential overvaluation.
A negative value indicates that the price is below its longer-term trend, suggesting potential undervaluation.
5. Normalization:
To make the valuation easier to interpret, the calculated valuation index is then normalized using the highest and lowest values over the selected valuation length (e.g., 156 bars).
This normalization process converts the index into a percentage between 0 and 100, where higher values indicate overvaluation and lower values indicate undervaluation.
Step 4: Understanding Valuation Levels
The valuation levels indicate whether a security is currently undervalued, overvalued, or in a normal range.
Manual Levels : You can manually set the overvaluation and undervaluation thresholds (default is 85 for overvalued and 15 for undervalued).
Auto Levels : The script can automatically calculate these levels based on recent price action, allowing you to adapt to changing market conditions.
Auto Levels Calculation Explained:
The Auto Levels are calculated by taking the average of the valuation indices for all three securities (e.g., index1, index2, and index3).
The script then looks at the highest and lowest values of this average over a selected number of recent bars (e.g., 50 bars).
The overvaluation level is determined by taking the highest value and multiplying it by a multiplier (e.g., 5). Similarly, the undervaluation level is calculated using the lowest value and the multiplier.
These dynamic levels adjust according to recent price action, providing an adaptive approach to identifying overvalued and undervalued conditions.
Step 5: How to Use the Script to Make Trading Decisions
For new users, here's a step-by-step trading strategy you can use with the Valuation Index:
1. Identify Undervalued Opportunities
When two or more securities are in the undervalued range (below 15 for manual or below automatically calculated undervalue levels), wait for at least two of these securities to turn from undervalued to normal .
This transition indicates a potential buy opportunity .
2. Buying Signal
When at least two securities transition from undervalued to normal, you can consider buying the asset.
This indicates that the market may be recovering from undervalued conditions and could be moving into a growth phase.
3. Selling Signal
Exit when the price high closes below the EMA 21 (21-day exponential moving average).
Alternatively, if the valuation index reaches overvalued levels (above 85 manually or auto-calculated), wait for it to drop back to normal . This can be another point to exit the trade .
You can also use any other sell condition based on your r isk management strategy .
Alerts for Valuation Levels
The script includes alerts to notify you of changing market conditions:
To activate these alerts, follow these steps, referring to the provided screenshot with detailed steps:
1. Enable Alerts : Click on the settings gear icon on the script title in your chart. In the settings menu, scroll to the section labeled Alerts Settings .
Enable Alerts by checking the Enable Alerts box.
Set the Required Securities for Alert (default is 2 securities).
Choose the Alert Frequency : Selecting Once Per Bar Close will trigger alerts only at the close of each bar, ensuring you receive confirmed signals rather than potentially noisy intermediate signals.
2. Select Alert Type : Choose the type of alert you want to activate, such as Alert on Overvalued, Alert on Undervalued, Alert on Over to Normal , or Alert on Under to Normal .
3. Save Settings : Click OK to save your alert settings.
4. Add Alert on Indicator : Click the "..." (More button) next to the indicator name on the chart and select " Add alert on tradeviZion - WillVal ".
5. Create Alert : In the Create Alert window:
Set Condition to tradeviZion - WillVal .
Ensure Any alert() function call is selected.
Set the Alert Name and select your Expiration preferences.
6. Set Notification Preferences : Go to the Notifications tab and select how you want to receive notifications, such as via app notification, toast notification, email , or sound alert . Adjust these preferences to best suit your needs.
7. Click Create : Finally, click Create to activate the alert.
These alerts will help you stay informed about key market conditions and take action accordingly, ensuring you do not miss critical trading opportunities.
Understanding the Table Display
The script includes an interactive table on the chart to show the valuation status of each security:
Security : The name of the security being analyzed.
Value : The current valuation index value.
Status : Indicates whether the security is overvalued, undervalued , or in a normal range.
Color: Displays a color code for easy identification of status:
Red for overvalued.
Green for undervalued.
Other colors represent normal valuation levels.
Empowering Messages : Motivational messages are displayed to encourage disciplined trading. These messages will change periodically, helping keep a positive trading mindset.

Trading Ranges + ZScoreOverview
The "Trading Ranges + ZScore" script is a versatile technical indicator developed for TradingView. This tool combines two powerful concepts—price ranges and Z-Score analysis—to help traders identify potential trend reversals, overbought/oversold conditions, and trend strength. The script dynamically calculates price ranges based on recent price action and utilizes Z-Score to detect deviations from a statistical norm, providing valuable insights for decision-making in both ranging and trending markets.
Features
Price Ranges: Calculates dynamic upper and lower price boundaries based on volatility and market structure.
Z-Score Oscillator: A statistical measure that highlights overbought/oversold conditions based on the deviation from a moving average.
Trend Detection: Identifies trend continuation or reversal points by comparing current price action against historical levels.
Customizable Alerts: Generates visual signals (diamonds and X crosses) for potential long/short entries and exits.
Visual Representation: Colors the bars based on Z-Score and trend direction, enhancing the chart’s readability and signal clarity.
Customizable Parameters: The script allows users to fine-tune perception length, analysis period, factor multiplier, and oscillator thresholds to fit different market conditions.
Key Input Parameters
Perception: The length used for calculating highest/lowest price points (default: 20).
Analysis: The length used for calculating the moving average and volatility (default: 100).
Factor: A multiplier to adjust the width of the price ranges (default: 2.0).
Oscillator Threshold: The overbought/oversold threshold for the Z-Score oscillator (default: 70).
Trend Filter: A boolean switch that filters signals based on trend direction.
Fill Zones: Option to color-fill between price levels when certain conditions are met.
Bullish/Bearish/Neutral Colors: Customizable colors for bullish, bearish, and neutral signals.
How It Works
Price Ranges Calculation:
The script calculates five levels: two upper boundaries, the average price level, and two lower boundaries. These levels are based on the highest/lowest prices over a user-defined period and adjusted by volatility (Average True Range).
When the price crosses either of these levels, it suggests a significant change in market direction, potentially indicating a trend reversal.
Z-Score Oscillator:
The Z-Score is a statistical measurement of a price's position relative to its moving average. The indicator calculates two variations:
Z-Score based on the absolute difference between the price and the moving average.
Z-Score based on standard deviation.
These oscillators help detect extreme conditions where the price is likely to revert (overbought/oversold zones).
Trend Detection and Signals:
The indicator generates potential buy/sell signals when the price crosses the predefined levels or based on the fast Z-Score crossing the overbought/oversold thresholds.
Weak long/short signals are shown when the faster Z-Score oscillator reaches extreme levels but trend filters are applied to avoid noise.
Bar Colors and Signal Shapes:
Bar colors change dynamically to reflect the trend direction and Z-Score conditions. Signals for potential trades are displayed using diamonds and X crosses, making it easy to spot opportunities visually.
Visuals and Plots
Bar Colors: Changes the bar color based on Z-Score and trend direction.
Z-Score Plot: Displays two Z-Score oscillators, the standard and a faster one for detecting quicker price deviations.
Overbought/Oversold Zones: Highlighted by upper and lower thresholds of the Z-Score.
Long/Short Signals: Uses diamond-shaped markers for strong long/short signals and X-shaped markers for weaker signals.
Dynamic Range Lines: Plots lines for key price levels (upper/lower boundaries, mid-range) based on the dynamic range calculations.
Usage Guide
Identify Overbought/Oversold Conditions: Look for the Z-Score reaching extreme positive or negative values. When combined with trend signals, these conditions often point to a potential reversal.
Follow the Trend: Use the trend filter option to focus only on trades in the direction of the prevailing trend, reducing false signals in ranging markets.
Watch for Range Breakouts: Pay attention to the upper and lower boundaries. Price crossing these levels often signals the start of a new trend or a major price movement.
Adjust Parameters: Tailor the perception length, analysis length, and multiplier to suit different asset classes or timeframes.
Customization
You can adjust the key parameters to adapt the indicator to different markets or personal trading preferences:
- Perception & Analysis Lengths: Control the sensitivity of the price range calculations.
- Factor Multiplier: Adjusts the width of the ranges, with higher values indicating larger zones.
- Oscillator Threshold: Modify the overbought/oversold levels to suit different market volatility.
- Trend Filter: Toggle on/off to focus on trend-following strategies or range-bound conditions.
- Visual Options: Customize colors for bullish, bearish, and neutral signals, as well as enable/disable the zone fills.
Common Volume Spike Indicator with Price Color on SpikeIndicator Name: Common Volume Spike Indicator with Price Color on Spike
Description:
The “Common Volume Spike Indicator with Price Color on Spike” is designed to detect significant volume spikes and highlight them on the chart. It not only identifies moments when the trading volume exceeds a certain threshold but also colors the price bars based on price movement during these spikes.
Key Features:
• Volume Spike Detection: Detects volume spikes when the current volume exceeds a specified multiple of the average volume over a user-defined lookback period.
• Dynamic Volume Break: Highlights bars where the volume exceeds a threshold, dynamically calculated as a multiple of the average volume (default is 10x the average volume).
• Price Color on Volume Spike: When a volume spike occurs, bars are colored green if the price closes higher than the previous bar, and red if the price closes lower. This feature helps traders easily identify significant price movements during high-volume periods.
• Customizable Parameters:
• Threshold Multiplier: Adjust the sensitivity of volume spike detection.
• Lookback Period: Define the period over which the average volume is calculated.
• Volume Break Multiplier: Set a multiplier for the average volume to identify extreme volume breaks.
This indicator is suitable for traders who want to quickly spot critical market events driven by significant increases in volume. It helps to visualize both the volume activity and the corresponding price movement, providing an additional layer of market insight.
How to Use:
1. Green Bars: When the volume spike condition is met and the price closes higher than the previous bar, the bar is colored green.
2. Red Bars: When the volume spike condition is met and the price closes lower than the previous bar, the bar is colored red.
3. Blue Bars: Indicates a significant volume break, where the current volume exceeds a specified multiple of the average volume (default: 10x).
Ideal for intraday and swing traders who rely on volume and price action for market entries and exits. This indicator works well across different asset classes, including stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies.
You can adjust the input parameters to fit your specific trading strategy and timeframe.

• Customizable Table Position: Offers the flexibility to position the results table anywhere on the chart (e.g., Top Right, Bottom Left).
How It Works:
1. Absolute Difference Calculation:
• For each bar on the chart, the indicator calculates the absolute difference between the open and close prices.
• This difference is plotted as a histogram:
• Green Bars: Close price is higher than the open price.
• Red Bars: Close price is lower than the open price.
2. Threshold Comparison and Counting:
• Compares the absolute difference to each of the four thresholds.
• Determines whether the difference is less than or greater than each threshold.
• Utilizes the ta.sum() function to count occurrences over the specified number of bars (N).
3. Results Table:
• Displays a table with three columns:
• Left Column: Counts where the absolute difference is less than the threshold.
• Middle Column: The threshold value.
• Right Column: Counts where the absolute difference is greater than the threshold.
• The table updates dynamically and can be positioned anywhere on the chart according to your preference.
4. Threshold Lines on Histogram:
• Plots horizontal dashed lines at each threshold level.
• Each line is color-coded for distinction:
• Threshold A: Yellow
