Daily Settlement (BM&FBOVESPA B3 FUTURES)This script is simple designed to plot the daily settlement to any Securities traded on B3, Brazilian stock exchange.
The daily settlement is an important price where position traders are adjusted every day. This adjustment is defined by the exchange itself every day at approximately 4 pm, with an average of all trades in this window.
We consider that the settlement is a region of "money spent", where every day, some player "woke up" in long or in short at that price. As this is a region of "money spent", traders should give significant attention when traded at this price.

B3 Clear Method Streak CountAbout Clear Method -- to repeat my prior post on the bar painter script:
This indicator is translated out of Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities , September 2010, (I take zero design credit). The script simply looks for the price action to break or "clear" the most recent action, and only changes the paintbar color if the action indeed clears the previous candles. Simple to use, just add to your chart from your favorites and change the colors in the UI. It does the rest.
This version can replace my previous Clear Method Bar Painter as it also paints the bars.
What is different is this share is a lower study that counts the streak of the bars shown via histogram.
The way to use the streak is to notice the previous streaks and get a sense of how long the current trend is lasting versus prior trends of the same direction.
@Tradestation recently posted their "price streak" study, and this one is quite similar in nature.
Enjoy, the code open to view,

B3 HL2 Method Candle PainterThis script is similar to the "Hi-Lo" or "Clear" methods of painting bars. Instead of using the tips/edges of the candles like those two, the "(H+L)/2" method uses the change in (high+low)/2 to paint the bars. This gives you some similar results if you were to be binary with the candle coloring. However, my coloring scheme is not entirely binary. There are 5 possible colors:
HL2>LastHigh = Bright Green
HL2LastHL2 = Dull Green
HL2<LastHL2 = Dull Red
Bar Change (close - open) is going against the indicator = Gray
Free to share and enjoy!

B3 Donchian CloudsThis is the Donchian Channel expressed with a percentage cloud. Default 12.5% of the range will be filled at each edge, this helps to show reversal possibilities as price returns to the area between the clouds. This offers a usage to essentially fade the turtle trader system. That system is loosely based on the playing of the breakouts of the the channel... as you can see the that last turtle trade long in YM1! was and is off the charts awesome. I will look for the fall out of the cloud to short the market.
B3 20/50 MeanSimple MA's 20 and 50 are averaged to produce a mean MA line. I like the smoothness of it, and it can help you stay in a trade in the slow moving trends. Also if you start to see a large cloud in your favor, it could be a great time take the profits.

B3 ALMA PendulumB3 Pendulums, quick little indicators that do change print inside the current bar, so beware. It is good for anticipation, but it is important to make sure the current and next bars follow through.
Ever wanted an indicator that really points out the micro term action in the form of a pendulum swing? This my attempt to show the market ups and downs in the smallest amount of lag possible. This indicator is designed to bounce back and forth from 100 to -100 as it shows you the price's relationship to ALMA. Really its just a simple deviance from mean study made to amplify the quick ups and downs, and kind of the neatest on Heikin Ashi setups. It looks like Arabic language at first glance, lol.
This should be easy to template out to your own MA's. ~I hope you are enjoying the B3 scripts, that is now 9 open source shares and a couple protected ones. I still plan on a few more give-a-ways, as I prepare some of the algorithmic things I do for subscription. Feel free to comment about things you would like to see! ~B3
B3 Directional Trend IndexB3 Directional Trend Index ~ All about the trend! William Blau is the designer of this gem, and IMHO it is the best trend finder of all the lagging indicators out there I have tested. It is important to pay attention to the slope and thickness of the line, and its relationship to zero. A reversion to the zero may look momentous, but in fact it could reverse when it reaches mean, only to turn back around. You can see this in March and April of this silver futures daily chart. Makes for a great instrument on anything you consider trendy, like crude oil for example. The default user inputs are set to my liking, as I find them to be great on all charts and resolutions. You may read around to find more about this on the internet, or its mentioned in Krausz's work. Also, imprtant to remember when no trend, trend finders like this sufffer, so be wise as to what market condition you are in. Rangy and within Range = no, On the Move = yes.
B3 ECOBlau's Ergodic Candlestick Oscillator = a decent trend finder, however slightly lagged. It can help you to see a reversal entry if you are looking for one. I find the one line ECO hard to use, so I have created this histogram version with a signal line. The colors help to show you whats going on with the ECO and its bias. This indicator shows up in a couple books by people other than Blau, and namely by Krausz. You can also see divergences, for example in pic above the lower or second of the two green humps showing that the general uptrend might be weakened as this run contained less momentum. Tighten up the signal line to see a faster change in its color. These settings are the B3 input settings for default, meaning the ones I use in trading. They are not however the default values you might read about other places.
B3 Buyer-Seller BreakoutsB3 Buyer-Seller Breakouts = If a bar is showing that it is moving in a direction with highs lows and close, all of which are >respectively< moving against the open from the bar before, then it prints indicating buyers or sellers bringing momentum. The arrows and cloud carry into the next bar to give lots of awareness of the micro-term momentum. The cloud represents the better price range from which to add to a position.
This study repaints within the bar, most of my indicators do not, but this one is about timing to get an edge on adding to your already in play position, becoming part of the needed momentum to hit profit targets faster. Also, this theory helps you add to winners, and if you never add to losers, you now have statistical odds in your favor. I got the idea for the study reading about turtle trader method and how that statistical edge is really why it works, always adding on every breakout. Keep in mind that I never buy or sell breakouts to initiate trades, only to scale in.

B3 Bar Cycle MTF (fix)Apologies, there was an error in printing for the thick gray boxes, happened when MTF was switched on. All better, and here is the details from before:
This is an interesting study that can be used as a tool for determining trend direction, and also could be a trailing stop setter. I use it as a gauge on MTF settings. If on, you can look at the bar cycle of the 1h while on the 15m giving you a lot of information in one tool. If a line is missing high or low, it is because it was broken, if both exist you are trading in range and cloud appears. If both sides break you get thick gray boxes above and below bar.
Get used to editing the inputs to suit your liking. Often 3-5 length and always looking at different resolutions to get a big picture story. You could put multiple instances of the study up to see them simultaneously. I based the idea off of Krausz's 3 day cycle which you can read about in his teachings. I tend to find it looking better using Heikin Ashi bar-style.

B3 Fibonacci Pivot S/RFor my second share, I give you some levels I look at everyday for the ES minis. HLC/3 of the MTF (multi-time-frame) inputs = mean and Fib-levels formed as support and resistance zones. There are some websites that will show you 20 ways to figure out a pivot for the day's intraday workings, and this one always rang true for me. I keep it set at Res=D and Len=3or5 and use on hourly charts. This indicator is capable of doing like a Res=60m Len=8 for a 5m chart or something of that nature if you wish to test it out.
I haven't tested it out for tick charts and I have noticed that this is good on index and commodity futures, and not so much other things.
Uncanny to me how well this works as reversal awareness for ES. Doesn't mean that one will happen, or if it does that it will have trade-able juice, though it is very important awareness never-the-less.

B3 EMA RibbonAs a person versed in other languages of script, I am sharing my first pinescript. I have just thrown together some EMA lines and testing out the fill() function. I have some 400+ indicators I could make and share, so cheers to many more! As I get more versed in the language, I will make more intricate studies based on high math and sound strategy.
