Pivot Points ++The Pivot Points is a classical indicator that aims to assess the Location in which a market is trading and infer hints about its directional movement. Its concept idea has been evolving along the XX century, tracing back to traders like Jesse Livermore, Nicholas Darvis, William O’Neil and Mark Minervini.
This is a Leading Indicator which computes a series of key levels that might act as Support and Resistance over the selected time frame period.
This version of the Pivot Points delivers a convenient way to visualize its information. It’s been designed for it to be useful to a variety of trading styles: from the ones that use it to detect reversal points, to the ones that gauge the market at a single glance.
HOW TO READ THE PIVOT POINTS
Pivot Points set a series of price levels which remain constant through the time period (which could be: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or multi-yearly).
At the beginning of a new time period, it calculates the main Pivot Point Level (PP), and depending on the type, it can compute up to 5 Support Levels (S1 to S5) and 5 Resistance Levels (R1 to R5).
Being such a universal indicator, there exist many ways of reading the Pivot Levels. Now, let’s see some common uses of the indicator.
Warning: Please don’t rely on a single indicator to make your trading decisions, but rather integrate it into a coherent system combining it with complementary signals.
Support and Resistance : This is a straightforward approach. Each Pivot Level may act as Support or Resistance. For instance the level S1 initially behaves as Support. As price gets closer, one may observe that the level is being respected and price bounces around the level. Or in case it would get broken, then it would automatically shift its role into a Resistance Level.
Mood Gauge : One can quickly gauge the mood of the market by seeing where price stands in relation to the Main Pivot Point Level (PP). Above the Pivot point is generally interpreted as bullish, whilst standing below implies a bearish tone.
Stop Loss and Profit Levels : When entering on a trade, one can use the Pivot Levels to set the Stop Loss behind it, or set the Take Profit in an area surrounding it.
Agreement with Fibonacci Retracements or Expansions : One can combine the power of these 2 leading indicators in search for Agreement areas where to find both a significant Pivot Level and a Relevant Fibonacci Level.
Volume or Volatility Squeezes : Some traders focus on the Pivot Levels in combination with Volume or Volatility readings, in order to anticipate turning points or continuation legs.
WHY WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN THIS INDICATOR?
Pivot Points ++ has been designed to address the needs of dedicated traders. Let’s review its main features.
Display up to 9 sets of Pivot Points simultaneously
Long term view: As an analyst and as a trader, being able to display many sets of Pivot Points simultaneously is of great advantage when assessing long term views on the market.
Pivot Levels clearly Identified: Each set of Pivot Points get clearly identified with a prefaced letter indicating its time frame, i.e. Yearly Pivot Point appears as YPP and Monthly Pivot Resistance 1 appears as MR1 .
Minimalistic coloring: The Main Pivot Levels are highlighted in color to stand out, yet the intention of the indicator is to be as minimalistic and keep the chart as clean as possible.
Display Pivots as a Panel
Panel View: Display the Pivot Points’ information in the way that better suits your charting style. In addition to displaying the lines over the price chart, the indicator allows displaying the data on a Panel. The Panel view can be used together with the Line view, or it can be used in isolation.
Fully customizable: Its location, size and its design parameters can be customized through the Settings tab.
Common sense formatting: It displays a column for each of the selected time frames, and a row for each of the selected Pivot Levels. When a Pivot Level displays in colors, it means that price is currently trading above (green) or below (red) that level. Moreover, when the current price is trading just near the Pivot Level, the color shifts to Dark Red when it’s acting as a Resistance, and Dark Green when it acts as Support.
Keep your Chart Clean!
Disciplined traders keep their charts clean. One needs proper focus to trade in the zone.
Please check how the chart on the left looks compared to the one on the right. Both display exactly the same Pivot Points.
The chart on the left contributes to a more minimalistic display of information, as for when a trader wishes to quickly check where the price is trading in relation to the Pivot Points. Moreover, the chart on the right has the advantage to display clearly the Reversals and Price Reactions in relation to the Pivot Points. The decision is yours.
Show only Pivots Relevant to the Current Time Frame
The sets of Pivot Points belonging to time frames Below or Near the current Time Frame get hidden to prevent overcrowding the chart with lines. Nevertheless, this feature can be disabled through the Settings tab.
These are the preset Time Frames:
Intraday/Scalping: Those operating on time frames below 1H will be able to see the whole range of Pivot Levels.
1H: Traders operating on 1-Hour Charts display Pivots from Weekly and above. Daily Pivot Points get hidden.
4H: On 4-Hour Charts, Monthly Pivots and above get displayed. Weekly Pivot Points get hidden.
D: On Daily Charts, Quarterly Pivots and above get displayed. Monthly Pivot Points get hidden.
W: On Weekly Charts, Yearly Pivots and above get displayed. Quarterly Pivot Points get hidden.
M: On Monthly Charts, Tri-Yearly Pivots and above get displayed. Yearly and Bi-Yearly Pivot Points get hidden.
3M and 12M: Above Monthly Charts, only Decennial Pivots get displayed. All the rest get hidden.
Good Looking right off the box
It looks good: The indicator will look just fine on most of the charts. It displays well on dark themed charts and on light themed charts. No need to mess up with the coloring of the indicator for it to display properly.
Fully customizable: Nevertheless, you can easily override the defaults and customize the Colors and Line Styles for each Pivot Level.

Gann SquareIntroduction
Legendary trader W.D. Gann illuminated the cyclical nature of financial markets, revealing their adherence to predictable patterns rooted in geometry, astronomy, and numerology. With his own trading results as evidence, Gweaklann showcased the efficacy of these principles in uncovering market dynamics, including breakouts, reversals, and crucial price levels acting as support and resistance.
Introducing Gann Square
Gann Square, also known as the Gann Box, stands as a cornerstone of technical analysis, offering traders a powerful tool to decipher market movements and anticipate future price action. Built upon primary angles, notably the 45-degree (1x1 angle) ascending from the origin to the top-right corner and its corresponding negative angle descending from the top-right to the bottom-left corner, Gann Square epitomizes precision and foresight in chart analysis.
Unveiling Points of Setup
Central to Gann Square's functionality is the identification of points of setup. These critical junctures mark significant highs or lows in price movements, serving as pivotal reference points for traders seeking to navigate market shifts and capitalize on emerging opportunities.
Time scale: Calendar or Trading days
A lot of effort was spent to realize a precise relationship between time and price, as angles of price arise with time or with chart bars. The best of these two options is related to the type of instrument used, and is usually could be determines empirically.
For example, consider a ticker that is at market five days per week. By using TradingDays we have a match between candles on the chart and days as time, so the angle arises in a linear way. Instead of using Calendar option, from Monday to Monday we have 7 days, and the algorithm takes care of this and the angle arise faster. Look at the pictures below, with Calendar option there's a little step every time there is day's jump between consecutive candles.
Same square on TradingDays and Calendar
Timeframe independence
In Gann analysis, the correlation between angles and time periods is inherently cyclical, where each degree corresponds to approximately one day, and a full circle of 360 degrees symbolizes a year. This timeless relationship allows Gann indicators to transcend individual timeframes, ensuring consistency while preserving the critical balance between time and price dynamics.
Gann indicators operate seamlessly across multiple timeframes, yet they remain steadfastly anchored to the daily timeframe as the primary reference point. This deliberate choice maintains the integrity of the time-price relationship, essential for accurate analysis and interpretation.
Preserving Proportion Amidst Time Shifts
When an angle intersects a pivot point during a timeframe transition, the Gann indicator upholds its proportional integrity without compromise. Whether examining daily, weekly, or monthly intervals, the indicator seamlessly aligns with pivotal price levels, ensuring continuity and precision in analysis.
Illustrating Consistency in Practice
Visualize the power of timeframe independence through a single Gann fan spanning both daily and weekly intervals. Witness how each angle touches the same pivotal point, meticulously maintaining proportionality across varying timeframes, as depicted in the accompanying illustration.
Same square on daily and weekly
Intraday daily and hourly
Handle TradingView bounds
By placing a square at the limits of the chart you risk going beyond the limits of the TradingView drawable area which is 500 bars in the future. In this case the indicator manages this eventuality by truncating the drawing and trying to calculate the theoretical measurement anyway to draw the angles inside it. This leads to having a square with some geometric errors but still allows you to proceed with the analysis.
Summary of features
Automatic price placement: the indicator look at the trend and decide autonomously if angle starts from candle low or high;
Manual price placement: it's possible to disable automatic placement and specify a start price;
Angle extension to present: draw angle until last available bar;
Extension to future: draw angle and square in the future after the latest available bar ( actual TradingView limit is 500 bars in the future );
Multiple timeframe are supported ( more details below);
Trading days: time is considered in number of bars, for example the ticker AAPL usually has 5 daily bars per week;
Calendar: time is considered in number of days, for example the ticker AAPL usually has 7 days per week;
Future bars: It's possible to draw until 500 bars after the latest ( TradingView bound);
Square over bound handling (explained above);
Operating Instructions
Placing the Gann Square on the chart
When positioning the Gann Square, ensure that the positive square is placed on an important pivot low, while the negative angle should be positioned on a pivot high. By default, the script automatically selects the pivot price based on the trend of the previous candle. However, it's important to note that automatic price selection may not always be accurate, especially in certain market conditions. In such cases, users have the option to manually specify the pivot price.
Exercise caution when using automatic price selection in conjunction with changing timeframes. For instance, the pivot low of a monthly candle may not align perfectly with a daily candle. In such scenarios, it is advisable to either opt for manual price selection or initially place the indicator using the daily timeframe before switching to a wider timeframe, such as monthly.
In intraday trading, transitioning to a daily or wider timeframe while maintaining angle proportionality between timeframes may pose challenges with automatic price selection. In this particular scenario, it is recommended to utilize manual price selection for accuracy.
Furthermore, it's beneficial to differentiate between intraday operations and daily or longer-term operations when utilizing the Gann Square, as each may require distinct considerations and approaches for optimal effectiveness.
Price unit, Factor and divisor
The size of the Gann Square can be customized using the following settings:
Price Unit (Scale) : The Price Unit, also known as the scale, determines the increment along the main angle (45°) of the Gann Square. Adjusting the Price Unit allows you to fine-tune the relationship between price and time, enabling the adaptation of the square to suit the characteristics of any financial instrument.
Factor : The Factor setting provides additional flexibility in adjusting the scale of the Gann Square. By modifying the Factor, you can further refine the proportions of the square to align with specific trading strategies or market conditions.
Divisor : The Divisor setting enables you to divide the square size by a specified factor (e.g., 2, 4, etc.). This feature offers a convenient way to adjust the size of the square while maintaining proportionality and symmetry, enhancing the versatility of the Gann Square tool.
By utilizing these settings in combination, traders can effectively tailor the Gann Square to their preferences and requirements, empowering them to conduct detailed technical analysis and make informed trading decisions across various financial instruments and market environments.
Point of setup
The Gann Square provides settings to divide the square by vertical lines, allowing for enhanced analysis and identification of key points of setup. Users can choose to divide the square by four, by three, or both, providing flexibility in their analysis approach.
Utilizing Vertical Lines
These vertical lines play a crucial role in identifying important candles, price levels, and time intervals where trend reversals or significant market movements may occur. By dividing the square into smaller sections, traders can pinpoint potential areas of interest with greater precision.
Intersection of Angles
The points of setup identified by the vertical lines also correspond to the intersection of various angles drawn on the square. These intersections serve as focal points for analysis, indicating potential shifts in market dynamics and offering valuable insights into future price movements.
By leveraging the point of setup settings and paying attention to the intersection of angles, traders can enhance their understanding of market trends and make more informed trading decisions.

Versatile Application: Ideal for growth stock traders, momentum swing traders, and adherents of the CANSLIM methodology. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned investor, this tool aligns with strategies influenced by trading giants.
Validation and Utility:
Inspired by the trade management principles of Michael Lamothe, the " Danger Signals " indicator is more than just a tool; it's a reflection of tested strategies that highlight the importance of risk management. Through rigorous validation, including the insights from "The Trading Mindwheel," this indicator helps traders navigate the complexities of the market with an informed, strategic approach.
Whether you're contemplating a new position or evaluating an existing one, the " Danger Signals " indicator is designed to provide the clarity needed to avoid potential pitfalls and capitalize on opportunities with confidence. Embrace a smarter way to trade, where awareness and preparation open the door to success.
Let's dive into each of the components of this indicator.
Volume: Volume refers to the number of shares or contracts traded in a security or an entire market during a given period. It is a measure of the total trading activity and liquidity, indicating the overall interest in a stock or market.
Price Action: the analysis of historical prices to inform trading decisions, without the use of technical indicators. It focuses on the movement of prices to identify patterns, trends, and potential reversal points in the market.
Relative Strength Line: The RS line is a popular tool used to compare the performance of a stock, typically calculated as the ratio of the stock's price to a benchmark index's price. It helps identify outperformers and underperformers relative to the market or a specific sector. The RS value is calculated by dividing the close price of the chosen stock by the close price of the comparative symbol (SPX by default).
Average True Range (ATR): ATR is a market volatility indicator used to show the average range prices swing over a specified period. It is calculated by taking the moving average of the true ranges of a stock for a specific period. The true range for a period is the greatest of the following three values:
The difference between the current high and the current low.
The absolute value of the current high minus the previous close.
The absolute value of the current low minus the previous close.
Average Daily Range (ADR): ADR is a measure used in trading to capture the average range between the high and low prices of an asset over a specified number of past trading days. Unlike the Average True Range (ATR), which accounts for gaps in the price from one day to the next, the Average Daily Range focuses solely on the trading range within each day and averages it out.
Anchored VWAP: AVWAP gives the average price of an asset, weighted by volume, starting from a specific anchor point. This provides traders with a dynamic average price considering both price and volume from a specific start point, offering insights into the market's direction and potential support or resistance levels.
Moving Averages: Moving Averages smooth out price data by creating a constantly updated average price over a specific period of time. It helps traders identify trends by flattening out the fluctuations in price data.
Stochastic: A stochastic oscillator is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis that compares a particular closing price of an asset to a range of its prices over a certain period of time. The theory behind the stochastic oscillator is that in a market trending upwards, prices will tend to close near their high, and in a market trending downwards, prices close near their low.
While each of these components offer unique insights into market behavior, providing sell signals under specific conditions, the power of combining these different signals lies in their ability to confirm each other's signals. This in turn reduces false positives and provides a more reliable basis for trading decisions
These signals can be recognized at any time, however the indicators power is in it's ability to take into account where a trade is in terms of your entry price and stop.
If a trade just started, it hasn’t earned much leeway. Kind of like a new employee that shows up late on the first day of work. It’s less forgivable than say the person who has been there for a while, has done well, is on time, and then one day comes in late.
Contextual Sensitivity:
For instance, a high volume sell-off coupled with a bearish price action pattern significantly strengthens the sell signal. When the price closes below an Anchored VWAP or a critical moving average in this context, it reaffirms the bearish sentiment, suggesting that the momentum is likely to continue downwards.
By considering the relative strength line (RS) alongside volume and price action, the indicator can differentiate between a normal retracement in a strong uptrend and a when a stock starts to become a laggard.
The integration of ATR and ADR provides a dynamic framework that adjusts to the market's volatility. A sudden increase in ATR or a character change detected through comparing short-term and long-term ADR can alert traders to emerging trends or reversals.
The "Danger Signals" indicator exemplifies the power of integrating diverse technical indicators to create a more sophisticated, responsive, and adaptable trading tool. This approach not only amplifies the individual strengths of each indicator but also mitigates their weaknesses.

Periodic Activity Tracker [LuxAlgo]The Periodic Activity Tracker tool periodically tracks the cumulative buy and sell volume in a user-defined period and draws the corresponding matching bars and volume delta for each period.
Users can select a predefined aggregation period from the following options: Hourly, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly.
🔶 USAGE
This tool provides a simple and clear way of analyzing volumes for each aggregated period and is made up of the following elements:
Buy and sell volumes by period as red and green lines with color gradient area
Delta (difference) between buy & sell volume for each period
Buy & sell volume bars for each period
Separator between lines and bars, and period tags below each pair of bars for ease of reading
On the chart above we can see all the elements displayed, the volume level on the lines perfectly matches the volume level on the bars for each period.
In this case, the tool has the default settings so the anchor period is set to Daily and we can see how the period tag (each day of the week) is displayed below each pair of bars.
Users can disable the delta display and adjust the bar size.
🔹 Reading The Tool
In trading, assessing the strength of the bulls (buyers) and bears (sellers) is key to understanding the current trading environment. Which side, if any, has the upper hand? To answer this question, some traders look at volume in relation to price.
This tool provides you with a view of buy volume versus sell volume, allowing you to compare both sides of the market.
As with any volume tool, the key is to understand when the forces of the two groups are balanced or unbalanced.
As we can observe on the chart:
NOV '23: Buy volume greater than sell volume, both moving up close together, flat delta. We can see that the price is in range.
DEC '23: Buy volume bigger than Sell volume, both moving up but with a bigger difference, bigger delta than last month but still flat. We can see the price in the range above last month's range.
JAN '24: Buy and sell volume tied together, no delta whatsoever. We can see the price in range but testing above and below last month's range.
FEB '24: Buy volume explodes higher and sell volume cannot keep up, big growing delta. Price explodes higher above last month's range.
Traders need to understand that there is always an equal number of buyers and sellers in a liquid market, the quality here is how aggressive or passive they are. Who is 'attacking' and who is 'defending', who is using market orders to move prices, and who is using limit orders waiting to be filled?
This tool gives you the following information:
Lines: if the top line is green, the buyers are attacking, if it is red, the sellers are attacking.
Delta: represents the difference in their strength, if it is above 0 the buyers are stronger, if it is below 0 the sellers are stronger.
Bars: help you to see the difference in strength between buyers and sellers for each period at a glance.
🔹 Anchor Period
By default, the tool is set to Hourly. However, users can select from a number of predefined time periods.
Depending on the user's selection, the bars are displayed as follows:
Hourly : hours of the current day
Daily : days of the current week
Weekly : weeks of the current month
Monthly : months of the current year
On the chart above we can see the four periods displayed, starting at the top left and moving clockwise we have hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Chart TimeFrame
The chart timeframe has a direct impact on the visualization of the tool, and the user should select a chart timeframe that is compatible with the Anchor period in the tool's settings panel.
For the chart timeframe to be compatible it must be less than the Anchor period parameter. If the user selects an incompatible chart timeframe, a warning message will be displayed.
As a rule of thumb, the smaller the chart timeframe, the more data the tool will collect, returning indications for longer-term price variations.
These are the recommended chart timeframes for each period:
Hourly : 5m charts or lower
Daily : 1H charts or lower
Weekly : 4H charts or lower
Monthly : 1D charts or lower
🔹 Warnings
This chart shows both types of warnings the user may receive
At the top, we can see the warning that is given when the 'Bar Width' parameter exceeds the allowed value.
At the bottom is the incompatible chart timeframe warning, which prompts the user to select a smaller chart timeframe or a larger "Anchor Period" parameter.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Data Gathering
Anchor period: Time period representing each bar: hours of the day, days of the week, weeks of the month, and months of the year. The timeframe of the chart must be less than this parameter, otherwise a warning will be displayed.
🔹 Style
Bars width: Size of each bar, there is a maximum limit so a warning will be displayed if it is reached.
Volume color
Delta: Enable/Disable Delta Area Display
AWR - Chris - V3Calculates the AWR based on Dr. Coles formula. Takes the last 12 weeks (not including the current one) highs and lows, adds them and then divides by twelve, give the average weekly range. Then takes the AWR and show the playing field based on the high and low of the current weekly candle. Must be used on the weekly chart to get the data needed then manually plot your lines on the required charts.
Market Structure (Range) & Internal Liquidity
This indicator will simplify the price-action reading of any trader/investor by decluttering his/her charts from un-important & confusing candles to highlight the true momentum candles which are usually formed by institutional buying/selling .
The indicator will be a good tool in the arsenal of the following styles of Trading/Investing
Smart Money / Liquidity Concepts
Price Action Concepts
Demand & Supply Concepts
Support & Resistance Concepts
UNIQUE FEATURES:
1. Market Structure - Range & Internal Liquidity:
Unlike other liquidity indicators, this indicator only highlights liquidity levels of significant importance. Not every intermediate high & low in a chart are worthy of noticing, hence by enabling the 'Swings' & 'Range (BoS)' feature in the indicator settings, the structure highs and lows (external liquidity) in a chart can be identified.
Any other liquidity levels within a market range (Range between structural High & Low) is known as internal liquidity which price targets to collect enough orders before heading towards the external liquidity levels.
2. Gaps (Fair Value Gaps / Imbalance):
Not every imbalance / gap between candles are important & trade-worthy. This feature of the indicator is different from the other widely available imbalance indicators & only highlights gaps formed by true momentum candles. Gaps between unimportant inside bars are not highlighted, as these bars occur in the absence of momentum.
3. True Price Action:
Looking at the two charts below, we can clearly observe the difference between price action of a confusing normal chart & the simplified price action highlighted by the indicator. This feature declutters the charts by only highlighting the candles a trader / investor should notice in a chart.
This feature when used in confluence with the liquidity levels feature & gap feature of the indicator, helps identify the true demand & supply zones (order blocks) in a chart.
Before
After
4. Zig Zag Lines:
This unique feature which is useful to Identify & Backtest different entry types taught by Smart Money Traders . This feature helps the trader understand the True Fractal Nature of price. This can also be seen as an alternate to the default line chart feature.
Examples of Entry Types taken by Smart Money Traders
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
(These features are essential addons to trade liquidity. However, these are derived from publicly available indicators from the Tradingview library, but with a different interpretation for a better visualization of charts & or to time better trade entries without cluttering the charts)
a. Inside Bar & Outside Bars:
Identify not just a single Inside Bar as highlighted by other indicators, but to highlight a series of candles which are within a master candle range and are exhibiting unimportant sideways price action.
Outside Bars only relevant to momentum candles are highlighted, ignoring candles that occur within a master candle range. Highs & Lows of such Outside Bars are used by aggressive traders to identify liquidity levels in the charts.
b. Highs & Lows of previous Monthly / Weekly / Daily & Hourly Candles:
This feature draws Highs & Lows of previous Monthly / Weekly / Daily & Hourly Candles on the extreme right hand side of the chart to keep the charts clean.
Additionally for Hourly time frame, the indicator includes a setting to select the hourly candle time frame (60 min / 75 min / 240 min), which are personal and different for each trader.
UNDERLYING CONCEPT:
In the image below we see how a large majority of Traders / Investors incorrectly mark Structure markings, mistaking a raid of internal liquidity as a Break of Structure, thereby taking trades opposite to the broader trend of the markets
However, this indicator has a higher accuracy of identifying the correct price structure by only marking a structure high or low, when a subsequently opposite side liquidity is taken/raided. Further the broader trend of the markets can be easily identified by looking as to which side the Break of Structure has happened. (This is visible in the indicator in the form of 'Range' feature, so if a Range High is broken then it is understood to be in an uptrend & vice versa)
The underlying core functionality of the indicator is best displayed by the image below
USECASE OF THE INDICATOR:
Before taking any Buying/Selling position in the markets, a Trader / Investor must analyze the price action on the following parameters
HTF & LTF Trend Identification (To judge if trade is Pro-Trend or Counter-Trend)
Is Price at a High Probability Area of Interest?
Is Price satisfying the trade entry conditions?
Let us see how this indicator can be used as a complete trading system in itself and addresses each of the above parameters
Disclaimer: Illustrations shown below are just for understanding the features of the indicator & does not guarantee profitability. Every trader must back test their setups to arrive at a setup with an edge (positive expectancy) before they start actively trading the setup.
1. HTF & LTF Trend Identification (Pro-Trend / Counter-Trend) using 'Range (BoS)' feature of the indicator
Let's assume a Day Trader, uses hourly chart (75 min) to frame his Higher Time Frame (HTF) ideas & 15min charts (LTF) for trade entries
Looking at the chart below the Trader concludes that the HTF has most recently broken the structure to the downside and is considered Bearish till price action is below the range high of 48600 levels. It can also be concluded that the price is currently in a Bullish retracement.
The Trader can choose to take both Pro-Trend or Counter-Trend Trades, timing the trade entries using the LTF charts.
Looking at the LTF chart below, it is evident that price on LTF has also broken structure to the downside and is now aligned with the HTF Bearish Trend. The Trader will now look to get into short trades, to take trades both in line with HTF & LTF trend.
2. Let's identify if Price is at a High Probability Area of Interest, using either single or combination of the 'Swings' / 'Gaps' / 'Outside Bars' / 'HL of previous M,W,D, H candles' features of the indicator
Definition of High Probability Level / Area differs from each Traders perspective depending upon which of the Trading Styles (mentioned in the beginning) does one use.
Smart Money Traders
SMC Traders are known to get into trades early and their high R:R trades are taken mostly at a High Probability Area of Interest which are identified by them on HTF, by looking for candles with imbalance (gaps) & or candles which have taken out a previous liquidity and then having creating imbalance (gaps).
Also Turtle Soups is one of the favorite setups for SMC traders, where a trader enters a trade on LTF (typically 1 min/3min & 5min) after grabbing HTF liquidity lying at H/L of outside bar / previous monthly, weekly, daily or hourly candles.
Demand & Supply Traders
Some of the Best Demand & Supply Traders have the patience to wait for trades and take trades at the extreme Demand & Supply Zones within a market Range.
As illustrated below, the extreme hourly supply zone just below the structure high, which has the confluence of imbalance and Bearish HTF confirmation resulted in a good R:R trade.
Price Action Traders & Support & Resistance Traders
From the illustration below we can see how the 15 min Range breakdown confirms the breakdown of the Inverted Cup Pattern for Price Action Traders & Support & Resistance Traders using the same area of breakdown as the new Resistance to enter Short trades
3. Let's identify if Price is satisfying the Trade Entry Conditions using the 'Zig-Zag Lines' feature
Statistics say that majority (> 80%) of Traders blow up their accounts multiple times or completely give up and never achieve profitability.
One of the primary reasons for this is Traders punching trades randomly and without having proper Setup or rules for entering Trades.
Also in order to arrive at rules or execute the different entry models (couple of examples highlighted earlier) taught by different Trainers, a Trader needs to learn to visualize charts in a similar format to what the trainers are teaching.
The Zig-Zag lines feature is a form of line chart that joins the swing high points to the swing low points on the chart to represent the True Price action & a proper fractal nature of the markets, unlike the line chart which is formed by only by joining the closing value of each candle.
From the image below we can see that the Zig-Zag lines feature eliminates the randomness visible in the line chart and is a more smoother chart. Using this feature one can back test the various entry models widely available on the internet or arrive at a user specific model which he/she is comfortable with.
CONCLUSION:
Trading with a deeper understanding of Price Action allows a Trader/Investor to enter or exit trades with ease. Price Action trading allows individuals to keep their charts clean and stay away from the other lagging technical indicators and enter trades much earlier than other technical indicators.
This indicator attempts in simplifying the understanding of price action for every one and identify potential high probability areas / levels where one should enter / exit trades.
This indicator will be an important tool in the arsenal of any Trader / Investor to take better informed trades, however it does not guarantee profitability of a Trader, due to the randomness of the markets & external factors that influence each trader.

Multi-Time AVWAP_BEARConcept
Collaboration Highlight:
This was a collaboration with @Chart_School and @KioseffTrading Thank you to both, along with Ricardo Santos for his awesome library we used.
Overview
See how you view different time frame charts with one indicator and little to no adjustment.
Innovation:
The concept of using Anchored VWAP (AVWAP) with time events is a powerful technique in trading and technical analysis. Anchored VWAP differs from the traditional Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) by allowing traders to select a specific starting point or "anchor," from which the VWAP calculation begins. This approach is particularly useful for assessing price movements in relation to significant market events or specific periods of interest.
Utility and Flexibility:
Explaining the flexibility in turning on and off different time slices without much adjustment showcases a user-friendly design.
Key Uses and Benefits
Comparative Performance:
Anchoring the VWAP at the start of different time frames (e.g., weekly, monthly, quarterly) enables traders to compare the current price performance against previous periods. This comparison can highlight trends or shifts in trading momentum relative to past activity.
Support and Resistance Levels:
AVWAP lines can act as dynamic support and resistance levels. When anchored to significant time events, these levels gain additional relevance as they reflect the market's valuation of an asset since a notable point in time. Traders often watch for price interactions with these levels to make informed trading decisions.
Risk Management:
Anchored VWAP can serve as a benchmark for setting stop-loss orders or profit targets. By considering the price's relation to the AVWAP of a specific period or after a key event, traders can define exit points that are aligned with market-generated information.
Trend Confirmation: The direction and stability of the price relative to an anchored VWAP can indicate the strength of a trend. If the price consistently remains above an AVWAP anchored at a bullish event (or below for a bearish event), it may confirm the trend's continuation.
Further Reading
Educational Resource:
Becuase we are using Volume with a relation to price AVWAP is very powerful to show data that cannot be eye balled on its own. Brian Shannon's book "Maximum Trading Gains With Anchored VWAP - The Perfect Combination of Price, Time & Volume", is an excellent guide to best practices on how to use AVWAP to your advatage while trading. His book goes into depth about the best way to use this indicator to its fullest potencial.
Tips for Using This Indicator
Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly Settings:
All the settings for the lower timeframe charts are similar. Here is an example of seeing a Weekly AVWAP for 6 weeks, showing:
1. The start of the 6-week AVWAP is using a High Low Close source for the first candle of the 6 weeks.
2. The lines are colored "Red" for the AVWAPs.
3. The line thickness is "1".
Yearly Settings
Simlair to the other settings with the Yearly we give you a couple more options along with 3 years to toggle on and off. The idea was to allow the user to see which AVWAP most effected by price and quickly toggle them on and off to unclutter their chart.
Watch for how and if the labels over lap and choose the one you feel is most in play. In Shannon's Book he talks about "Hand off's" and "Pinches". These concepts are easy to spot with being able to see all the Major Time Events, then simply toggle off the one you dont need.
A great benefit to how we coded this script you can buzz through a watch list without having to re-adjust the Anchor points. This will save you time if following a basket of symbols and show coorlations in the overall market.
Secret Feature
When looking at these becuase the user doesn't need to hand plot the anchor points and we are fouced on major time slices, I encourge you to use the Trading View "Bar Replay" Feature. You think that you are missing a high or low AVWAP but what is happening is the indicator is re-plotting a level that is super hard to see, then you will see the hand-offs like Shannon discusses in his book. This blew me away while we were discussing it post development.
Conclusion
There are so many uses of how to use VWAP and therories on its best practice. We are only using "TIME EVENTS". For more ways to use AVWAP, I would encourge you to also handplot them with Trading View's new "Anchored VWAP", as seen in the standard toolbar.
Using your ideas along with this indicator i think its a powerful combination.

Tops & Bottoms - Day of Week Report█ OVERVIEW
The indicator tracks when the weekly tops and bottoms occur and reports the statistics by the days of the week.
█ CONCEPTS
Not all the days of the week are equal, and the market dynamic can follow through or shift over the trading week. Tops and bottoms are vital when entering a trade, as they will decide if you are catching the train or being straight offside. They are equally crucial when exiting a position, as they will determine if you are closing at the optimal price or seeing your unrealized profits vanish.
This indicator is before all for educational purposes. It aims to make the knowledge available to all traders, facilitate understanding of the various markets, and ultimately get to know your trading pairs by heart (and saving a lot of your time backtesting!).
USDJPY tops and bottoms percentages on any given week.
USDJPY tops and bottoms percentages on up weeks versus down weeks.
█ FEATURES
Custom interval
By default, the indicator uses the weekly interval defined by the symbol (e.g., Monday to Sunday). This option allows you to specify your custom interval.
Weekly interval type filter
Analyze the weekly interval on any weeks, up weeks, or down weeks.
Configurable time range filter
Select the period to report from.
█ NOTES
Trading session
The indicator analyzes the days of the week from the daily chart. The daily trading sessions are defined by the symbol (e.g., 17:00 - 17:00 on EURUSD).
Extended/electronic trading session
The indicator can include the extended hours when activated on the chart, using the 24-hour or 1440-minute timeframe.
█ HOW TO USE
Plot the indicator and navigate on the 1-day or 24-hour timeframe.
Universal RPPI Equities [SS Premium]Introducing the RPPI for Equities indicator.
Like its companion the RPPI for futures and indices, the RPPI for Equities is a compendium indicator of sorts, containing multiple different math based models for various equities tickers.
However, unlike the RPPI for futures and indices, the RPI for equities also has the ability to autogenerate a model that is tailored to the volatility of equities, if a base model does not exist within its compendium.
How Does it work and what does it do?
The RPPI contains multiple models that have been developed and corrected by myself, an example of which can be visualized in the above chart for the NYSE:DIS ticker. These models aim to forecast intraday, weekly and monthly price movements and help you to ascertain target prices that are realistic and achievable within your desired timeframe.
Which timeframes are availabe?
The indicator supports the following timeframes:
1. Daily
2. Weekly
3. Monthly
4. 3 Hour
5. 3 Month
What are some of the features?
So in addition to forecasting on the various timeframes, there are some innate functionalities and capabilities that have been programmed into the RPPI, in the same way they have been programmed into the futures version. These include:
1. Displaying Range Accumulation Zones & Standard Deviation
2. Performing autoregression assessments to help ascertain likely trajectory
3. Running Probability assessments on all timeframes
4. Displaying model performance via the demographic function.
While these features may not be new to you, I will go over them briefly below.
Displaying Range Accumulation Zones:
In the above example, you can see NVDA on the daily timeframe. The accumulation zones are displayed in blue and as a percentage value. We can see that the majority of the accumulation rested to the upside.
The prevailing theory with price accumulation is a ticker will frequently retrace and revisit areas of high accumulation, as these represent areas of demand and high volume.
Performing Autoregression Assessment
When you toggle on the autoregression assessment, you will get 3, trendlines. These represent the projected trajectory of the high, low and close. You can set your forecast length out as long or as short as you want.
The indicator will auto-select the best length and plot out the hypothesized trajectory based on the strongest identified trend.
Running Probabilities
To run probabilities, it is important to remember to be on the timeframe you wish to run the probabilities for. So, if you wish to run them on the daily timeframe, make sure your chart is on the daily and the indicator is set to "Daily" timeframe.
Once toggled on, you will get an assessment that looks like this:
This will display a breakdown of all previous instances of similar setups, and it will show you how many times each target were hit and give you an overall assessment of the likely sentiment, as well as the backtest results.
There are two types of probability options, "Momentum" and "Z-Score". The momentum is based on the underlying technicals, such as RSI and Stochastics; whereas, z-score is an assessment of standard deviation. If you want to know which one is "Best", you simply need look at the backtest results.
Displaying Model Performance:
To display model performance, go into the settings menu and select "Demographic Data".
As with the probabilities, please make sure you are set to the appropriate chart timeframe. If you are not, you will get an error message telling you to modify your timeframe.
This will break down how many times a ticker closes above or below its range, how many times the retracement target (GT) is hit and how many times, on average, a ticker hits the second high or second low target. This gives you some very useful stats to help you with your assessment (i.e. the TSLA example shows that, on the weekly timeframe, closing the week outside of the range only happens 11% of the time, so if we make a run outside of the range on a Monday or Tuesday, you know a good setup could be to short it and vice versa to the downside).
Warnings and Messages
This is not so much a feature of the indicator but just a reference to be aware of. In the settings menu, there is an option to "Show Warnings". This will prompt you with any warnings that exist on any ticker model. For example, if we look at the warnings for TSLA:
And AAPL:
Not all tickers have warnings, but the ones that you need to be aware of are programmed into the indicator for your reference.
Which models does this contain?
This contains over 30 different stock models, from LMT, BA, CSCO and GE to TSLA, NVDA, AAPL, GOOG, PCAR, META, ADBE and the list goes on.
As stated previously, it does have the ability to autofit.
WARNING
As a general warning, do not use this indicator to autofit to indices or futures. The parameters are set to what I find works best for equities and heightened volatility, it will not work great for indices. Please refer to other resources, such as the Universal Forecaster for such things as the equities RPPI will provide unreliable results if you are trying to cross use between different types of unintended equities (i.e. CFDs, Futures or Indicies)!

ATR Extensions (truss)This is an ATR band study. It presents the Daily and Weekly ATRs onto the chart, with an adjustable pivot as the mid-point.
ATR:
The study projects the following, from both daily and weekly timeframe analysis:
14-period ATR Bands for Daily
4-period ATR Bands for Weekly
Both period settings are adjustable by the user
Pivot:
The default pivot is set to (H+L+C)/3, but there's an option to use the current period's opening print as the pivot on a gap (or not on a gap, just enable it, and set the threshold to 0).
MGI:
This study also provides users the ability to the prior period Marketed Generated Information, such as: Current Period Open (Daily/Weekly), Prior Period Close, Prior Period High, Prior Period Low.
*The show_last setting is on 1 for these items for now, as I found them to clutter the chart and wanted to focus my efforts on the ATR bands. If there's a lot of demand for MGI studies, I can add to this or make a new one when I have time.
Happy to hear comments/suggestions/requests/praise.

Multi VWAP [MW]Introduction
The Multi VWAP tool extends the concept of using the Anchored Volume Weighted Average Price, popularized by its founder, Brian Shannon, founder of AlphaTrends, and creates automatic AVWAPS for multiple anchor points, such as for 2-day, 3-day, 4-day, 5-day, and custom date anchors as well as automagically creating month-to-date and year-to-date anchors. Currently, most standard VWAP tools allow users to place custom anchored VWAPs, but the routine of doing this for every equity being watched can become cumbersome. This tool makes that process multi-times easier. Brian Shannon is also the author of “Maximum Trading Gains With Anchored VWAP: The Perfect Combination of Price, Time, and Volume”. Available at Amazon.
Settings
Daily VWAP : A continuous line of the the daily Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
Weekly VWAP : A continuous line of the weekly VWAP
2-Day AVWAP : The anchored VWAP from 2 trading days ago (holidays and weekends are excluded in this calculation)
3-Day AVWAP : The anchored VWAP from 3 trading days ago
4-Day AVWAP : The anchored VWAP from 4 trading days ago
5-Day AVWAP : The anchored VWAP from 5 trading days ago. The slope of this line and the position of the price relative to this line can be used to determine trend direction.
10-Day AVWAP : The anchored VWAP from 10 trading days ago
Month-to-Date AVWAP : The anchored VWAP from the beginning of the current month
Year-to-Date AVWAP : The anchored VWAP from the beginning of the current year
Custom Date AVWAP : Sets a date to begin an anchored VWAP starting from any time.
Use only the most recent VWAP for Week, Month, and Year: Toggles on and off the continuous weekly, monthly, and yearly VWAPs
Calculations
This indicator does not provide buy or sell signals. It is simply the VWAP calculated starting from an “anchor point”, or start time. It is the calculated by the summation of Price x Volume / Volume for the period starting at the anchor point.
How to Interpret
According to Brian Shannon, VWAP is an objective measure of what the average trader has paid for a particular equity over a given period, and is the value that large institutional investors frequently use as a trade signal. Therefore, by definition, when the price is above an AVWAP, buyers are in control for that period of time. Likewise, if the price is below the AVWAP, sellers are in control for that period of time.
Shannon also distinguishes the importance of an increasing or decreasing 5 day VWAP, which reflects the price sentiment, objectively, for roughly the last trading week, or 5 trading days. Pricing below a decreasing 5-day VWAP is considered very bearish, while pricing above an increasing 5-day VWAP is considered bullish and is recommended before considering long positions.
Additionally, a custom VWAP can be generated to coincide with important events, such as FOMC meetings, CPI reports, earnings reports, etc.
Practically speaking, price action can tend to change direction when a significant VWAP is hit, voiding buy and sell signals. Like moving averages, this indicator can show, in real-time, how a buy or sell signal should be interpreted. A significant AVWAP line is a point of interest, and can serve as strong support or resistance, because large institutions may be using those values for entries or exits. For a great analysis of how to use AVWAP, visit the AlphaTrends channel on Youtube here or you can buy Brian Shannon’s “Anchored VWAP” book on Amazon.
Other Usage Notes and Limitations
It's important for traders to be aware of the limitations of any indicator and to use them as part of a broader, well-rounded trading strategy that includes risk management, fundamental analysis, and other tools that can help with reducing false signals, determining trend direction, and providing additional confirmation for a trade decision. Diversifying strategies and not relying solely on one type of indicator or analysis can help mitigate some of these risks.
Additionally, the indicator may take a little longer to load than usual. On the rare occasion where it fails to load, you may need to remove the indicator and add it back to your chart. Also, if you do encounter this problem, avoid redrawing your chart while the indicator is being added to the screen.
Acknowledgements
This script uses the MarketHolidays library by @Protervus. Also, for debugging, the JavaScript-style Debug Console by @algotraderdev and the TimeFormattingLibrary by @twingall were invaluable. And, of course, without Brian Shannon's books, videos, and interviews, this indicator would would not be possible.
Universal RPPI Indices & Futures [SS Premium]Hello everyone,
For the much-anticipated indicator release, the universal RPPI for Futures and Indices!
If you follow me, chances are you know this indicator by now, since its the basis of all of my analyses and target prices, but if not, let me introduce you!
What is it?
The RPPI for Indices & Futures is essentially a compendium indicator. It contains hundreds of, just over 100 different math models of various futures and indices.
These models are designed to forecast the current targets on multiple timeframes including:
1. The daily
2. The weekly
3. The monthly
4. The Three Month (for SPY and QQQ ONLY)
5. The 6 Month (for DJI, SPX and USOIL/CLI1! ONLY)
6. The annual (for DJI, SPX and USOIL/CLI1! ONLY)
7. The 3 hour
So I will go over the details of the models within the indicators compendium and how they are produced. If you are not interested, just skip to the next section!
What is a model and how is it produced?
Models are math equations and frameworks that attempt to predict future behavior. They are developed in many ways and through many methods. In this particular indicator, each index and future is unique and has been created in various ways, such as using principles of data smoothing, data interpolation, data substitution and data omission.
All this means is, I have manually adjusted model parameters to correct for rare, outlier events. The outcome is having a more accurate model that is better prepared to predict what you want it to predict.
Now let's get into the indicator use.
The first thing we need to talk about is selecting a model type. Different model types are available on a handful of stocks in the indicator, such as SPY, QQQ, DJI and DIA, and so it is important to explain the difference.
Corrected vs Uncorrected Models (i.e. Low Precision vs High Precision Models)
In the settings menu, you will see the second option that reads "Precision". This is where you have the ability to select the model type.
"High Precision" is a corrected model. It is a model that I have used data manipulation for (like the examples above) to enhance its accuracy.
"Low Precision" is a UNCORRECTED model. These models have undergone no data manipulation and are just raw projections.
Which do you use?
There are only a handful of tickers that have both models, like SPY, GLD1! and DJI (among others). Some tickers perform better with low precision models, others perform better with high precision models.
To know what model works best with which stock, the indicator will tell you. At the bottom of the settings table, simply select "Show Model Data":
Selecting this, you will get a table that looks like this:
It will tell you the available model types and which one works best. For IWM, the high-precision corrected model is best. This is true for QQQ and NQ1! as well. However, for SPY and ES1!, the uncorrected model is actually better:
Sometimes, different models perform better at various levels of precision, for example, high on the monthly but low on the daily.
This is why I have omitted this option for the majority of stocks. I don't want this to be confusing to use. For 90% of the included tickers, I have selected the model of best fit. However, for a few of the very popular and volatile tickers (ES, NQ specifically), I have included the ability to use both.
Rule of Thumb:
The rule of thumb with selecting high vs low, is essentially this:
a) If the market is hugely volatility with major swings intraday that exceed its normal behaviour, switch to the low precesion model. This will not be skewed by the massive swings.
b) If the market is stable, trendy or range bound, but not trending beyond its normal, general behaviour, keep it at high precision.
With that, you will be good to go!
Using the indicator:
The indicator is intended as a standalone indicator. Of course, you can combine other indicators that you like to help you out, but there is a strategy version of this that will be released within the coming days/weeks, as this is intended to be a full strategy in and of itself.
As with the universal forecaster, you are given threshold levels that are labelled "Bullish Condition" and "Bearish Condition", a break and hold of the "Bullish Condition" and it is a long to the high targets. Inverse for the bearish condition.
In addition to these conditionals, the indicator also provides you with a high probability retracement level. These are available on the weekly, monthly and higher timeframes. A special moving retracement level is available for SPY only, however it moves based on the PA to give you a sort of POC.
Testing Model Performance:
It is possible to see model performance. At the bottom of the settings menu, select the option to "Show Demographic Data". You need to be sure you are on the chart of the selected timeframe.
This is ES1! on the daily timeframe. It shows you the demographics, i.e. the extent targets are hit, the extent that the high prob retracement targets are missed, the extent that ES closes in and out of its daily range.
This is very valuable information. This table is essentially saying there is only a 10% chance that ES will close above its range and a 9% chance ES closes below its range. This means, that the most ideal setups are a move outside of its range!!
You can view it on all timeframes. If your chart isn't aligned with the lookback, you will get a warning sign:
Misc Functions:
Show price accumulation:
There is an option to toggle on price accumulation. It will show you the amount of accumulation in each of the ranges:
This will show where the accumulation of price rests in relation to the targets.
Autoregression Assessment:
You can have the indicator plot an autoregressive trendline of the expected stock trajectory. You can select the forecast length and it will plot the direction it suspects the stock will go:
Show Standard Deviation:
In the menu, you can toggle on the show standard deviation function. This will plot the standard deviation that each price rests at. The default timeframe for standard deviation is the daily. If you are looking at the weekly, please select the weekly timeframe.
This is helpful because you can see which targets are likely based on where the standard deviation rests. In the above example, a move to the low range would be a move to -2 standard deviations and beyond. This is not something that a ticker would normally do in general circumstances.
FAQ Table:
There is also an option to display an FAQ table. This will show you model revisions and pending revision dates. This will allow you to see when each model was last updated and when new updates will be pushed:
Which models does this contain?
The indicator contains models for the following stocks:
SPY
QQQ
DIA
DJI
ES1!
SPX
NQ1!
NDX
SOXX
IWM
RTY
GCL1! (Gold)
CL1! / USOIL (Oil)
XLE
XLF
YM1!
And some more are in the works (like JETS).
NOTE: Feel free to leave a comment of future ones you would like to see!
The indicator will automatically select the model for whichever ticker you are on.
Some models are cross-compatible, such as CL1! and USOIL, but the indicator is programmed to recognize those that are cross-compatible and auto-select those models.
From there, you just need to select the timeframe you wish to view!
And that is the indicator! I know very wordy explanation but wanted to cover all basis on the indicator so you can be well prepared!
As always, leave your questions, and comments below, and safe trades!
BTB - Bitcoin (BTC) Top and Bottom Indicator [Logue]This indicator is a combination of multiple on-chain, seasonality, and momentum BTC macro cycle bottom and top indicators. The BTB detects confluence of multiple indicators to select bottoms and tops of each BTC macro cycle. More detail can be seen on the BTI and BBI indicators. The BTB indicators are:
1) Cumulative Value Days Destroyed (CVDD) - The CVDD is the ratio of the cumulative value of coin days destroyed in USD and the market age (in days). When the BTC price goes below this value, BTC is generally considered to be undervalued. The bottom indicator is triggered when the BTC price is below the CVDD or above the CVDD extension. Because the "strength" of the BTC tops has decreased over the cycles, a logarithmic function for the extension was created by fitting past cycles as log extension = slope * time + intercept.
2) Net Unrealized Profit Loss (NUPL) - The NUPL measures if past transfers of BTC are currently in an unrealized profit or loss state. Historically positive or negative NUPL values indicate an over/undervaluation of the BTC network. The bottom indicator is triggered when the NUPL is below -15 and the top is triggered above an adjusted value based on decreasing "strength" of BTC tops. A decreasing linear function (trigger = slope * time + intercept) was fit to past cycle tops and used to determine overvaluation.
3) Market Value-Realized Value Z-score (MVRV-Z) - The MVRV-Z measures the value of the bitcoin network by comparing the market cap to the realized value and dividing by the standard deviation of the market cap (market cap – realized cap) / std(market cap)). The bottom indicator is triggered when the MVRVZ value is below 4 and tops are above 55.
4) Puell multiple (PUELL) - PUELL is the ratio between the daily coin issuance in USD and its 365-day moving average. This multiple helps to measure miner profitability. Extremes in PUELL may indicate tops or bottoms. The bottom indicator triggers when the PUELL is below 0.4 and top is triggered above 3.33.
5) Calendar Seasonality Index (CSI) - The CSI takes advantage of the consistency of BTC cycles. Past cycles have formed macro bottoms every four years between December and February which triggers the bottom indicator. Past cycles have formed macro tops every four years between October 21st and December 12th, triggering the top indicator.
6) Halving Seasonality Index (HSI) - Past cycles have formed macro bottoms approximately 948 days after each halving, triggering this indicator at set times, 948 +- 45 days, after each halving. Aside from the first halving, cycles have formed macro tops approximately 538 days after each halving. Therefore, this indicator triggers at 538 +- 10 days after each halving.
7) Polylog Regression (PLR) - The BTC cycle tops and bottoms were separately fit using a polynomial regression. The shape of the regression into the future was estimated and a fit was used to estimate when tops and bottoms are near. This triggers when the BTC price is inside or below the lower polylog regression channel and when the BTC price is inside or above the upper polylog regression channel.
8) Realized Price (RP) - The RP is summation of the value of each BTC when it last moved divided by the total number of BTC in circulation. This gives an estimation of the average "purchase" price of BTC. This indicator triggers when the BTC price is below the realized price or above an RP extension. Because the "strength" of the BTC tops has decreased over the cycles, a logarithmic function for the extension was created by fitting past cycles as log extension = slope * time + intercept.
9) Plus Directional Movement (PDM) weekly index - The PDM is a momentum indicator that measures the strength of a trend in the positive direction. The weekly PDM is calculated by determining the difference between the week's high price and the previous week's high price smoothed by a 14-period moving average. Higher PDM values indicate higher momentum in the positive (higher price) direction. Based on decreasing "strength" of BTC tops, a decreasing linear function (trigger = slope * time + intercept) was fit to past cycle tops for this indicator. This indicator is triggered when the PDM is above the trigger value or below 14.
10) Logarithmic Moving Average Convergence Divergence (LMACD) weekly indicator - The LMACD is a momentum indicator that measures the strength of a trend using the difference of the log values of the 12-period and 26-week exponential moving averages. Larger positive numbers indicate a larger positive momentum. Based on decreasing "strength" of BTC tops, a decreasing linear function (trigger = slope * time + intercept) was fit to past cycle tops for this indicator. This indicator is triggered when the PDM is above the trigger value or below -0.06.
11) Hash Rate Capitulation (HRC) - The HRC indicator measures the rate of change of the hash rate. Steadily increasing hash rate is a sign of health of the bitcoin network. This indicator uses moving averages (20- and 100-day) of the hash rate to indicate when a decrease in the rate of change is has occurred (i.e., the 20-day MA goes below the 100-day MA). This indicator triggers when the 20-day moving average of the hash rate going below the 100-day moving average.
12) Pi-cycle Top (PCT) - The PCT indicator is simply the cross of the 111-day moving average above a 2x multiple of the 350-day moving average of the BTC price. While there is no fundamental reasoning behind why this works, it has worked to indicate previous bitcoin tops by taking advantage of the cyclicality of the BTC price and measurement overextension of BTC price. This indicator triggers when the fast moving average (111-day) crosses above the 2x multiple of the slow moving average (350-day).
13) Transaction Fee Spike (TFS) - Transaction fees on the bitcoin network can signal a mania phase when they increase well above historical values. This mania phase may indicate we are near a top in the BTC price. The daily transaction fee total in USD is divided by the number of daily transactions to calculate the average transaction fee paid on the bitcoin network. The transaction fees increasing above $40 trigger this indicator.
The on-chain indicators (CVDD, NUPL, MVRV-Z, PUELL, RP, and HRC) work together to give a health check of the BTC price as compared to its network health. The seasonality indicators (CSI, HSI, and PLR) work together to map the macro cycles of BTC. The momentum indicators (PDM and LMACD) give the strength of the BTC trend. Each of these indicators is weighted evenly when selected and if over 45% of the indicators are triggering on a candle, the overall BTB indicator prints a clear signal. This signal is meant to indicate when the macro cycle bottom or top is likely hit or is near.
You are able to deselect any indicator you do not wish to have considered and select it back again. To prepare you for indicators triggering, the BTB shows dark blue or dark green when the indicator is close to triggering. The background color of the BBI becomes blue when at least 30% of the indicators considered are triggering and it becomes green when the BBI fully triggers. The BLX is most appropriate chart, but the indicator works on all BTC/USD charts. Because of the limitations of TradingView, the indicator doesn't work on time frames lower than 4 h or over one week.
Use this indicator at your own risk. I make no assertions that this indicator will work to detect any future bottom or top since we all know that past performance is no guarantee of future results.
IMGLite - V1.0IMG indicators use five sequential stages to analyse price and alert users to potential Trade Setups using various Price Action Concepts as detailed below:
a. Identify Higher Timeframe Market Structure and Points of Interest (HTF-POIs)
b. Calculate position size based on your risk appetite, fees and account leverage
c. Alert you to risk managed trade setups at enabled HTF-POIs
d. Alert you to trade exits based on your set criteria
e. Provide Additional Alerts such as Higher Timeframe SFPs and Market Structure Breaks that act as potential early warnings that a trade setup may be forming
a. HTF POIs Available with IMG LITE:
1. HTF Market Structure Range Highs and Lows
2. HTF Order Blocks
3. HTF Breakers
4. HTF FVGs
1. Higher Timeframe Market Structure Range High and Low through Multiple Timeframe Analysis:
Market Structure can be defined using several techniques. The IMG indicators employ the Close through High/Low technique, which necessitates a candle to close through a structural level to validate a structural break and designate a new range.
Example: H12 Market Structure visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
By selecting a particular Market Structure timeframe in the settings, the indicator immediately illustrates both current and historical market structures for the chosen timeframe across all subordinate timeframes, subject to the limitations of your Tradingview subscription.
Example: H12 Market Structure visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
2. Higher Timeframe Order Blocks
An Order Block represents the last candle of the opposite direction preceding a Market Structure Break. For instance, a bullish Order Block is identified as the final bearish candle leading to a bullish market structure break, and vice versa for bearish Order Blocks.
Example: H12 OB visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
When activated, the indicator will highlight the Higher Timeframe Order Blocks responsible for a Market Structure Break on all subordinate timeframes relative to the chosen Market Structure Timeframe.
Note: if multiple OBs exist, the indicator will display the OB closest to the new range extreme
Example: H12 OB visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
Higher Timeframe Breakers
A Breaker Block is identified as the most recent Order Block that has been breached by price, leading to an opposite Market Structure Break. For example, a bullish Breaker Block is the last bearish Order Block that price has passed through, confirming a bullish structural break, and the inverse is true for bearish Breakers.
Example: H12 Breaker visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
Once enabled, the system will display Higher Timeframe Breaker Blocks after an opposite Market Structure Break is confirmed on all subordinate timeframes.
Example: H12 Breaker visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A Fair Value Gap is a concept used by price action traders to identify market inefficiencies, where buying and selling are not balanced. It appears on a chart as a triple-candle pattern, with a large candle flanked by two others whose highs and lows do not overlap with the large candle, creating a gap. This gap often attracts the price towards it before the market resumes its previous direction.
Example of the indicator displaying a Higher Timeframe’s FVGs on a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart:
-The upper chart labelled H12/H12 is the indicator displaying H12 Structure and FVGs on a H12 chart.
-The lower chart labelled H12/H1 is the indicator displaying H12 FVGs on a H1 chart
b. Risk Management and Position Sizing:
The System will automatically calculate position size based on the account size, max leverage and risk appetite details input in settings. Calculated trade details are included in the Tradingview Alerts as well as interactive labels on the charts.
Details include but are not limited to:
Trade Timeframe
Side: Long/Short
Type: Limit/Market
Position Size in $ and Units
Lot sizes if applicable
Trade Risk %
Take Profit Level
Entry Price
Stoploss Price
c. Trade Setup Types Available with IMG LITE:
The system will alert you to potential trade setups at these HTF POIs: .
1. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at Range Extremes
2. Lower Timeframe (LTF) Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at enabled HTF POIs
1. HTF Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at Range Extremes
A Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) is a technical analysis concept used in trading to identify potential reversals in price trends. It occurs when the price attempts to surpass a previous high or low but fails to sustain that level, indicating a possible change in market direction. There are multiple methods to define a SFP but this indicator uses the failure to close through a Key Level. When confirmed, HTF SFPs will be displayed on-screen and an alert will fire if enabled.
Example: H12 SFPs at Range Extremes on a H1 Chart:
Alerts to Enter at Lower Timeframe MSBs
When enabled, a potential trade setup label and alert will generate when a HTF SFP is confirmed at a Range Extreme followed by a Chart Timeframe (Lower Timeframe) Market Structure Break (MSB). These signals are agnostic to current Market Structure bias and will generate at both extremes.
Signals will alert you to enter a Limit Entry at the Lower Timeframe MSB Level
2. LTF Swing Failure followed by a LTF MSB at Range Extremes at enabled HTF POIs
The system will alert you to a lower timeframe setup if these conditions are met inside enabled HTF POIs (OBs / Breakers / FVGs):
- LTF SFP
- LTF MSB
Signals will alert you to enter a Limit Entry at the Lower Timeframe MSB Level
Example:
d. Trade Exit Types Available with IMG Lite:
Exit alerts will trigger at user defined R:R
Example: H12 SFPs and Potential Trade Setups with Exits at fixed 2R on a H1 Chart:
e. IMG LITE Alerts Overview
Higher Timeframe Market Structure Breaks (HTF MSBs)
The system provides notifications of confirmed Market Structure Breaks based on the selected Higher Timeframe Market Structure Timeframe. For instance, selecting a weekly structure will trigger an alert when weekly price closes through a weekly structural level, and the same logic applies to other timeframes like D, H12, H4, H1 etc.
The system provides notifications of:
1. Confirmed HTF Market Structure Breaks
2. Confirmed HTF SFPs at Range Extremes
3. Potential Trade Setups (defined above)
4. Fixed R Trade Exits
To enable alerts, right-click on the indicator and select “Add Alert on IMG ...”. You may customise the alert name as desired and then click 'Create' to finalise the alert setup.
General Note:
There is no system, indicator, algorithm, or strategy that can provide absolute certainty in predicting market movements. Use trading indicators as a tool to assist with trading decisions; manage your risk wisely.
Stay safe and Happy Trading!

📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
We believe that the analytical elements that are within this indicator work best when they co-exist with each other on the chart. Trading often requires taking multiple elements into consideration for better accuracy on market analysis. Thus, we combined some of the useful strategies in one indicator for ease of use.
1. Volumized Fair Value Gaps
Fair value gaps often occur when there is an imbalance in the market, and can be spotted with a specific formation on the chart.
The volume when the FVG occurs plays an important role when determining the strength of it, so we've placed two bars on the FVG zone, indicating the high & low volumes of the FVG. The high volume is the total volume of the last two bars on a bullish FVG, while the low volume is - of the FVG. For a bearish FVG, the total volume of the last two bars is the low volume. The indicator can also detect FVGs that exist in other timeframes than the current chart.
2. Volumized Order Blocks
Order blocks occur when there is a high amount of market orders exist on a price range. It is possible to find order blocks using specific formations on the chart.
The high & low volume of order blocks should be taken into consideration while determining their strengths. The determination of the high & low volume of order blocks are similar to FVGs, in a bullish order block, the high volume is the last 2 bars' total volume, while the low volume is the oldest bar's volume. In a bearish order block scenerio, the low volume becomes the last 2 bars' total volume.
3. Volumized Breaker Blocks
Breaker blocks form when an order block fails, or "breaks". It is often associated with market going in the opposite direction of the broken order block, and they can be spotted by following order blocks and finding the point they get broken, ie. price goes below a bullish order block.
The volume of a breaker block is simply the total volume of the bar that the original order block is broken. Often the higher the breaking bar's volume, the stronger the breaker block is.
4. Market Structures
Sometimes specific market structures form and break as the market fills buy & sell orders. Formed Change of Character (CHoCH) and Break of Structure (BOS) often mean that market will change direction, and they can be spotted by inspecting low & high pivot points of the chart.
5. Equal Highs & Lows
Equal Highs & Lows occur when there is a significant amount of difference between a candle's close price and it's high / low value, and it happens again in a specific range. EQH and EQL usually mean there is a resistance that blocks the price from going further up / down.
6. Buyside & Sellside Liquidity
Buyside & Sellside Liquidity zones are where most traders place their take-profits and stop-losses in their long / short positions. They are spotted by using high & low pivot points on the chart.
7. Premium & Discount Zones
The premium zone is a zone that is over the fair value of the asset's price, and the discount zone is the opposite. They are formed by the latest high & low pivot points.
8. MTF Highs / Lows
MTF Highs / Lows are actually pretty self-explanatory, you can enable / disable Daily, Weekly, Monthly & Pre-Market Highs and Lows.
🚩UNIQUENESS
Our new indicator offers a comprehensive toolkit for traders, combining multiple analytical elements with customizable settings to aid in decision-making across different market conditions and timeframes. The volumetric information of both FVGs and Order & Breaker Blocks will be present in your chart to serve you greater detail about them. The indicator also efficiently identifies market structures, liquidity zones and premium & discount zones to give you an insight about the current state of the market. And finally with the use of multiple timeframes , you can easily take a look at the bigger picture. We recommend reading the "How Does It Work" section of the descripton to get a better understanding about how this indicator is unique to others.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Show Historic Zones -> This will show historic Fair Value Gaps, Order & Breaker Blocks and Sellside & Buyside liquidities which are expired.
2. Fair Value Gaps
Enabled -> Enables / Disables Fair Value Gaps
Volumetric Info -> The volumetric information of the FVG Zones will be rendered if activated.
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for FVG Zone Invalidation.

WRESBAL PlusWRESBAL Plus is an improved way of looking at the same data that drives WRESBAL, which is a commonly used series on FRED.
WRESBAL is a weekly average of combined balances on FRED using inputs that are weekly averages in some cases. For example the Treasury General Account has multiple FRED series including WDTGAL (wednesday level) and WTREGEN (wednesday weekly average) There are data sets that are tracking the same metrics which are updated daily such as RRPONTSYD as opposed to WLRRAL.
This situation leads to an opportunity to create a new and improved WRESBAL with the data that is updated more frequently. WRESBAL Plus solves the problem of waiting for weekly averages to update trends.
WRESBAL plus combines data sets from FRED that are updated more frequently and are the basis for the original WRESBAL equation. WRESBAL Plus offers a signal that predicts where WRESBAL will go, and this is important when determining the direction of asset prices as they relate to liquidity. One example of an asset that closely follows WRESBAL is Bitcoin.
