Safe Supertrend Strategy (No Repaint)Overview
The Safe Supertrend is a repaint-free version of the popular Supertrend trend-following indicator.
Most Supertrend indicators appear perfect on historical charts because they flip intrabar and then repaint after the candle closes.
This version fixes that by using close-of-bar confirmation only, making every trend flip 100% stable, safe, and non-repainting.
Why This Supertrend Doesn’t Repaint
Most Supertrend indicators calculate their trend direction using the current bar’s data.
But during a live candle:
ATR expands and contracts
The upper/lower bands move
Price moves above/below the band temporarily
A false flip appears → then disappears when the candle closes
That is classic repainting.
This indicator avoids all of that by using:
close > upper
close < lower
This means:
Trend direction flips only based on the previous candle,
No intrabar calculations,
No flickering signals,
No “perfect but fake” historical performance.
Every signal you see on the chart is exactly what was available in real-time.
How It Works
Calculates ATR (Average True Range) and SMA centerline
Builds upper and lower volatility bands
Confirms trend flips only after the previous bar closes
Plots clear bull and bear reversal signals
Works on all markets (crypto, stocks, forex, indices)
No repainting, no recalc, no misleading flips.
Bullish Signal (Trend Up)
A bullish trend begins only when:
The previous candle closes above the upper ATR band,
And this flip is fully confirmed.
A green triangle marks the start of a new uptrend.
Bearish Signal (Trend Down)
A bearish trend begins only when:
The previous candle closes below the lower ATR band,
And the downtrend is confirmed.
A red triangle signals the start of a new downtrend.
Inputs
ATR Length - default 10
ATR Multiplier - default 3.0
Works on all timeframes and market
Simple, but powerful.
Why Use This Version Instead of a Regular Supertrend?
Most Supertrends:
Look great historically
But repaint continuously on live charts
Give false trend flips intrabar
Cannot be reliably used in strategies
This version:
Uses strict previous-bar logic
Never repaints trend direction
Works perfectly in live trading
Backtests accurately
Is ideal for algorithmic strategies
Ideal For:
Trend-following strategies
Breakout trading
Algo trading systems
Reversal detection
Filtering market noise
Swing trading & scalping
Final Note
This is a safer, more reliable Supertrend designed for real-world use — not perfect-looking repaint illusions.
If you use Supertrend in your trading system, this no-repaint version ensures your signals are trustworthy and consistent.

Average True Range % infoATR% is a modified version of the classic Average True Range indicator that displays price volatility as a percentage of the instrument's value, rather than in absolute values. This allows you to easily compare the volatility of different assets (e.g., Bitcoin vs Tesla stock) regardless of their price.
Main Features
1. ATR% Chart
The red line shows the average volatility from the last N candles (default 14), expressed as a percentage. For example:
ATR% = 2.5% means that the average daily move is approximately 2.5% of the asset's value
Higher values = greater volatility (higher profit potential, but also greater risk)
Lower values = lower volatility (calmer market)
2. Volatility Trend Analysis
The indicator automatically detects whether volatility is rising, falling, or stable:
Up arrow (↑) - volatility is rising (price becomes more "nervous")
Down arrow (↓) - volatility is falling (market is calming down)
Horizontal arrow (⮆) - volatility is stable (within ±3% of the moving average)
3. Information Table
In the upper right corner of the chart you will see Current ATR% value and Trend arrow with color coding:
- Green = rising volatility
- Red = falling volatility
- Gray = stable volatility
Parameters to Configure
Indicator Length (default: 14) - How many candles back to include in calculations:
Lower values (5-10): more sensitive to sudden changes, reacts faster
Higher values (20-30): more smoothed, shows long-term volatility picture
Trend Length (default: 10) - Period to analyze whether volatility is rising/falling:
Lower values: faster trend change signals
Higher values: more reliable, but slower signals
Sample Interpretations
ATR% Volatility Asset Type/Situation
< 1% Very low Stable blue-chip stocks, calm market
1-3% Low-medium Typical stocks, normal conditions
3-5% Medium-high Volatile stocks, cryptocurrencies at rest
5-10% High Cryptocurrencies, penny stocks
> 10% Extremely high Market panic, crash, pump & dump

Swing Traces [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Swing Traces indicator identifies significant swing points in the market and extends them forward as fading traces. These traces represent the memory of recent highs and lows, showing how price interacts with past turning points over time. Traders can use the fading intensity and breakout signals to gauge when a swing has lost influence or when price reacts to it again.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Swing Detection – Detects recent upper and lower swing points using sensitivity-based highs and lows.
Trace Longevity – Each swing projects a “trace” forward in time, gradually fading with age until it expires.
Trace Size – Each trace is drawn with both a main level and a size extension (half of the bar range) to highlight swing influence.
Longevity Counters – Swings remain active for a customizable number of bars before fading out or being crossed by price.
Swing Retest – Labels appear when price retest above/below an active trace extension levels, confirming potential reversal.
🔵 FEATURES
Adjustable sensitivity length for swing detection.
Separate longevity controls for upper and lower swing traces.
Fading gradient coloring for visualizing how long a trace has been active.
Double-trace plotting: one at the swing level and one offset by trace size.
Clear BUY/SELL signals when price crosses a swing trace after it has matured.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use blue (upper) traces as resistance zones; lime (lower) traces as support zones.
Watch for fading traces: the longer they persist, the weaker their influence becomes.
Retest dots (●) confirm when price retest a trace, signaling a potential reversal.
Shorter sensitivity values detect faster, smaller swings; longer values capture major swing structures.
Combine with trend indicators or volume to filter false breakout signals.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Swing Traces indicator is a powerful tool for mapping price memory. By projecting recent swing highs and lows forward and fading them over time, it helps traders see where price may react, consolidate, or break through with strength. Its dynamic traces and breakout labels make it especially useful for swing traders, breakout traders, and liquidity hunters.

Liquidity Hunt Detector PDH/PDL [SmartFoxy]Liquidity Hunt Detector PDH/PDL
The Liquidity Hunt Detector (LHD) is designed to identify and anticipate liquidity grabs around the:
• Previous Day High (PDH);
• Previous Day Low (PDL).
It builds dynamic trigger levels that highlight where price may deliver its first impulse before reaching PDH/PDL.
The Liquidity Hunt Detector (LHD) identifies high-probability reversals and continuations around the Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL).
It dynamically tracks the market’s move from the session open, builds trigger levels toward PDH/PDL, and highlights where liquidity is most likely to be taken.
When price taps a Trigger Up/Down level, the indicator generates Long/Short signals with optional confirmation from the integrated MA Ribbon , ensuring only high-quality, trend-aligned setups are shown.
When price interacts with these trigger levels, the indicator generates signals that help traders evaluate the market structure and prepare for potential entries.
Designed for Forex, Crypto, Indices, Stocks , the LHD provides a clean and intuitive structure for navigating intraday liquidity grabs, session impulses, and directional bias shifts.
The indicator is built from three fully independent modules, each of which can be used separately:
Liquidity Hunt Detector (LHD)
Moving Average Ribbon (MA Ribbon)
Previous Day High/Low (PDH/PDL) levels
Liquidity Hunt Detector (LHD) Logic
1.1 Display LHD – Enables or disables the entire Liquidity Hunt Detector module.
1.2 Max Days – Number of previous days used to generate PDH/PDL levels.
1.3 GMT – Corrects all time-based calculations based on your broker/session timezone.
1.4 Calculation Method (Point A Logic)
1) Static Method
Point A = the session’s opening price.
Trigger lines are calculated strictly as a percentage of the move A → PDH or A → PDL.
Intraday fluctuations do not affect the calculation.
2) Dynamic Method
Point A updates using the current intraday high/low:
• If price forms a new low, Point A updates for the PDH-side calculations;
• If price forms a new high, Point A updates for the PDL-side calculations.
This produces trigger lines that reflect the true live market structure rather than a fixed opening reference.
1.5 Main OTT Time (Operational Trading Time)
This is the core time window during which the indicator:
• updates Point A;
• calculates trigger levels;
• validates PDH/PDL;
• draws AB / AC movement structure;
• generates entry signals.
Outside this window, no new signals or recalculations occur.
⚠ If your broker’s first candle opens at a non-standard time (e.g., 00:08), adjust the OTT start time to avoid visual artifacts.
1.6 Show Line A – Displays the opening price level (Point A) until the end of the OTT window.
Style, width, and color are customizable.
1.7 Show Line AB — Price Movement Toward PDH.
Static Method – Single line: A → PDH
Dynamic Method – Two segments:
• A → Daily Low;
• Daily Low → PDH.
If PDH is swept, the “B” label switches to Sweep PDH.
1.8 Show Line AC – Price Movement Toward PDL.
Static Method – Single line: A → PDL
Dynamic Method – Two segments:
• A → Daily High;
• Daily High → PDL.
If PDL is swept, the “C” label switches to Sweep PDL.
1.9 Show Trigger Up Line (LONG Trigger) – Defines the level where the Long signal can activate.
By default, at 50% of the A → PDH movement.
When price touches this line, the script may:
• show a LONG label;
• trigger an alert.
All visual parameters are customizable.
1.10 Show Trigger Up Line (LONG Trigger)
Same logic as Trigger Up, but based on A → PDL.
1.11 Show Main Zone (OTT Zone) – Visual background highlighting of the active OTT window.
Helps instantly see:
• whether signals are allowed;
• how much time remains in the trading window?
Color and opacity are adjustable.
1.12 Upper Zone (toward PDH) – Tracks the protected area towards PDH.
Updates dynamically with new highs.
1.13 Lower Zone (toward PDL) – Tracks the zone toward PDL.
Updates dynamically with new lows.
1.14 Show Labels – Displays reference labels (A, B, C, Trigger Up, Trigger Down).
Label size is customizable.
1.15 Add Price – Adds the exact price value to each label.
1.16 Change Color after Sweep PDH or PDL – After PDH or PDL is broken, the indicator automatically recolors lines and labels to visually confirm the sweep.
1.17 Show SHORT Label – Displays the SHORT entry label when all conditions for a bearish signal are met.
Style parameters are set in the previous blocks.
1.18 Alert on Bearish Trigger Down – Triggers an alert when the price activates the bearish trigger.
1.19 Show LONG Label – Displays the LONG entry label when bullish conditions are met.
Style parameters are set in the previous blocks.
1.20 Alert on Bullish Trigger Up – Triggers an alert when the price activates the bullish trigger.
1.21 Alerts Active Time – Defines a custom time interval during which trigger signals are allowed.
Even if price touches a trigger level,
❗ signals will NOT be generated outside this allowed time.
Useful for:
• avoiding Asian session signals;
• reducing noise in low-liquidity periods.
1.22 Labels and Alerts Display Mode
Two settings modes:
• On Trigger (Instant Mode) – Signals appear immediately when price touches the trigger.
• On Candle Close (Conservative Mode) – Signals form only after the candle closes beyond the trigger level.
A more conservative option.
1.23 Delay LHD Signal Until MA Ribbon Confirms Direction – If enabled, LHD signals will NOT fire until the MA Ribbon produces a matching directional signal.
Logic:
• Price hits the trigger → LHD conditions become “armed”;
• The indicator waits;
• When MA Ribbon confirms trend direction (Long/Short);
• The final LHD label + alert is generated.
This ensures LHD trades are filtered and aligned with MA-based trend confirmation.
⚠ Works only when the MA Ribbon module is active.
Consolidation Value Zones (Recio)Consolidation Value Zones introduces an original algorithm to identify consolidation ranges and locate areas of importance within them. This new method "looks" at the chart and draws zones based on price with the goal of producing actionable zones which appear natural, as if they were found through a human analysis.
> Consider the following...
The chart image above displays Bitcoin, at no specific date, for no specific reason. What I have done here is simply glanced at the chart for about 5 seconds, and circled a few areas which stood out as "obvious" consolidation. It does not take a savant to look at a chart and circle ranging price. However, what we have just done defies many common systems for identifying consolidation. We have located ranges of various zone lengths, as small as roughly 25 bars to as large as roughly 100 bars. Regardless of this, we still determined these zones with our eyes and brain in a few seconds, for some it's practically instant. The issue with us humans doing this, is that we are subjective. We did not really use any concrete rules to determine these areas with our eyes. So the problem becomes "How do we identify these zones in a way which seems natural to us with a repeatable system?" Because of this, my approach is simply a logical attempt to reverse engineer our human intuition.
> Consolidation Value Zones
The name of this indicator is generic. To dissect it, we are identifying consolidation ranges, then using a volume profile to determine the value zone within that range. The specific method used to identify these consolidation zones is something I've personally been referring to as the "skewer" method. Another name that may fit better is "Linear Range Alignment/Overlap".
Ultimately, the goal is to locate a single price level or range that overlaps many adjacent bars.
This should, in theory, return areas of visually obvious consolidation.
> The Skewer Method (Identification Method & Bar Gap Allowances)
One consistent concept across the different identification methods for determining consolidation is time. How long do we chop around before calling it consolidation? This is the "Identification Threshold". Once we have located a consolidation zone "this" wide, we will then consider it as consolidation.
In the chart image above, we are considering a six-bar consolidation formation. The figure on the left shows an example of a perfect raw bar overlap, we can see that the six bars all overlap at one price range. This is a perfect example of what we are looking to identify as consolidation. Unfortunately, if this was all we looked at, we would have a very scarce identification method.
For that reason, we have the example on the right, which shows the additional allowances for the identification of these ranges. At most, the example on the right shows a gapless three-bar overlap. However, if we allow the identification to bridge across the gaps, we are able to draw a zone directly through the center and still be within our parameters. This allowance is the "Bar Gap Allowance" and will determine the leniency of the identification.
Between our identification threshold and bar gap allowance, we can start to piece together how the script is "looking" at our chart.
> Detecting Consolidation (Live Detection)
To aid in transparency and user understanding, the live detection calculation can be seen on the chart as a box, skewering the recent historical bars with a number next to it, indicating the number of bars found as potential consolidation.
As we can see in the chart image above, the script, by default, is looking for a 15-bar consolidation, with a 5-bar gap allowance. In the image, the specific gap count is labeled, we can see the script scan backwards as far as it can before counting five gaps in the data. Once that occurs, the detection stops.
Notice how the zone found is a range, consisting of all price levels which meet the parameters. The lower level of the range only had two gaps, but the upper level reached five.
> Consolidation Range and Value Zones (Volume Profiles)
Once the script has identified the consolidation formation, it calculates a volume profile across the identified consolidation range. From this it calculates and draws the Point of Control (POC) and Value Area in addition to the full consolidation range.
Once we have our zones drawn, and understand what they identify, we can go one step further and apply concepts from volume profile trading.
Range High/Low: Displays the current extent of the identified consolidation.
Value High/Low: Shows the specific area within the consolidation where buyers and sellers found the most value.
POC: The single point, where the most volume was transacted during consolidation.
In a balanced market, we would anticipate price to rotate around POC, oscillating from Value High (VAH) to Value Low (VAL). In contrast, a market in motion moves directionally, building volume at new price levels as value, naturally the POC shifts with it.
> Zone Extensions
Unlike many other scripts, there is no mitigation logic at play here, since crossing a zone simply tells us "buyers and sellers are not currently active here", but it does not guarantee that value cannot return or react from previous areas of value.
Obviously the current zone will always be most relevant, but historical zones can retain relevance depending on the context of the market.
Remember: Each area of consolidation is an area where buyers and sellers were once facing off, resulting in price's consolidation. Amidst this, the value zone was the area of greatest agreement between the participants at that time. When moving outside of a range, we would typically look at historical value areas and price's interaction with them for further context.
Due to the ever changing market, there is no fixed extension lookback that will cover every scenario. By default, the Extension Lookback is "1", meaning the script will extend the most recent zone forward until a new zone is detected.
Note: For clarity, zone extensions are colored differently from core zones.
The following chart image shows a few examples of these unique interactions.
As seen in the chart image, looking to previous areas of value as well as POC can provide context in the form of acceptance or rejection at these levels, providing further insight into the auction for us to respond to.
The zones do contain logic to maintain a clean display. By default, the zones extend conditionally when price returns to the previous consolidation range. If desired, the zones can be extended regardless of price action; this can be toggled with the option "Regardless Extension Mode", as seen below.
> Hollow Candles & Zone Merging
When consolidation is identified, a hollow candle is drawn; these can be used to see exactly when each zone is identified. It is important to understand that consolidation zones stemming from the same origin are merged into one zone. This is a frequent occurrence when the consolidation threshold is passed, but the consolidation continues. For this reason you will often see multiple hollow candles in the later areas of the zones.
Similarly, zones from different origin points that overlap are also merged into one consolidation zone. This ensures that no core zones overlap.
Additionally, every time a zone is merged, a new volume profile for the area is calculated.
> Bar Gap Allowance Type (Technical Explanation)
The specific bar gap allowance value can be altered, but so can the type of allowance being used. While some analyses may benefit from counting the total amount of bar gaps within the consolidation, others may benefit from detecting based on consecutive bar gaps.
The chart image above displays the gap counts for each gap allowance type.
The total bar gap allowance type will count until the gap amount is reached, then terminate detection once the allowed number of gaps has been exceeded.
The consecutive bar gap allowance type resets its count once it finds a valid bar within range, by doing so, it only counts the bars that separate each island of in-range bars.
Both methods have merit.
> Implementation
This identification method has proven effective to identify consolidation across market types. As a result, there cannot be one configuration of settings to fit every application. Adapting the detection type and method for each trader's specific market conditions is highly recommended.
When determining parameters, it is helpful to consider time, as it plays a major role in the identification method.
On a 1D chart, the default threshold of 15 corresponds to 15 days, or about 3 weeks depending on the ticker. To identify periods of one-week consolidation, a threshold of 5 would be suitable. To detect perfect gapless weeks, a bar gap allowance of 0 could be used, as seen in the chart image below.
Additional Example:
In the chart image above, we see a 15-second forex chart over the span of a few hours. The detection parameters are set up to detect 15-minute consolidation with a 2-minute max dead zone (consecutive bar gap).
> Detection Source
By default, the script detects consolidation ranges using the full extent of candle wicks. While this is traditional, detection can also be done using only the candle bodies. These identifications are much more nuanced, detecting only from confirmed candle price action; they do not trigger at the same frequency as wick detection.
Optionally, a "Wick/Body Average" can be chosen as the source for detection; as the name implies, this uses the average value between the candle body and its respective wick.
> Additional Settings
The settings mentioned thus far serve as core parameters for identifying consolidation. The following parameters are simply included for the benefit of the advanced user. It is not recommended to adjust these settings under normal circumstances.
- Value Area Percent: Default = 68.26, while traditionally 70 for volume profiles, 68.26 is accurate to the values of a standard bell-curve distribution. The differences are minimal in application.
- VP Rows: Default = 99, Sets the number of rows to be used when calculating the Volume Profiles (VP); note that higher values will lead to a slower calculation. Max value: 999
> Final Notes
If you have made it this far, thank you for reading.
I hope you find value in this new consolidation identification system and understand the logic behind it.
That's it.
Script payant
Breakout ScannerThis is a Breakout Scanner that shows you the immediate trend across 4 higher timeframes for up to 10 different tickers. It calculates a score from 1 to 3 for bullish and -1 to -3 for bearish based on where price is currently at compared to the previous higher timeframe’s candle levels.
When price is breaking out of the previous higher timeframe candle’s range, then it will have a score of 3 for bullish breakout or -3 for bearish breakout. When price is above the high or below the low of multiple different higher timeframe candles, you can expect price to continue the breakout and move to a new area of price range.
The brighter red or green the color is, the stronger the trend is on that timeframe. When it shows a bright green or red box on the far right side of a ticker, it is notifying you that the ticker is bullish or bearish on all timeframes and trending strongly, so switch over to that chart and look to trade in the direction of that trend.
The tickers, colors and time frames can be customized to suit your preference and you can also turn off as many tickers or time frames as you’d like if you want less tickers or time frames to show up on the indicator. It also includes alerts for when all timeframes are bullish or all timeframes are bearish for one ticker.
Make sure to keep each timeframe set to a timeframe that is higher than your chart timeframe.
Bullish Scoring & Colors
If the current candle close is above the midline of the higher time frame candle, it is given a score of 1 and a dark green background. If the current candle close is above the higher timeframe candle body, then it is given a score of 2 and a medium green background. If the current candle close is above the high of the higher time frame candle, it is given a score of 3 and a bright green background.
The higher the score the stronger the bullish trend and the brighter green the color will be.
Bearish Scoring & Colors
If the current candle close is below the midline of the higher timeframe candle, it is given a score of -1 and a dark red background. If the current candle close is below the higher timeframe candle body, then it is given a score of -2 and a medium red background. If the current candle close is below the low of the higher timeframe candle, it is given a score of -3 and a bright red background.
The lower the score, the stronger the bearish trend and the brighter red the color will be.
Total Score Display
On the right side of the indicator table, there is a column that displays the total score by adding all the scores together so you can easily tell the overall strength of the trend across all timeframes. Wait for the trend score to be at least 75% of the possible score to trade so you can ensure you are only trading very strong trends and increase your probability of winning your trade. The total score will update according to how many time frames you have enabled in the settings. You can also turn on or off the total score count if you prefer. The default setting is off.
All Timeframe Trends Agree
When all of the timeframes that you have turned on are in the same direction at the same time, a green or red box will appear on the far right side of the scanner. This is a visual cue that lets you know the strongest trending markets without having to read any of the numbers. Make sure to check out the charts for the markets that have a green or red box on the far right side and look for potential trend trading opportunities.
Alerts
You can set alerts for when all time frames for a certain ticker are bullish or bearish. If you have some time frames turned off at the time of creating your alerts, then it will only require all time frames that are on to be all bullish or bearish to generate an alert. Make sure to set your alerts to once per bar close to ensure you don’t get premature alerts that aren’t yet valid.
Best Way To Use The Scanner
For best results, make sure you wait for the trend to show all bullish or all bearish at the same time and then look to trade in the direction of the strong trend. If you can be patient enough to do that, you will increase the probability of winning your trade because you are trading with the direction of the overall higher timeframe trend when the market is trending strongly and making new highs or lows.
When one of the markets in the scanner shows all timeframes trending, go to that chart and see how price action is reacting to the previous higher timeframe candle levels. You can see those levels easily by adding our Higher Timeframe Candle Levels indicator to your chart and using the same timeframes as your Breakout Scanner is using.
If price is holding the higher timeframe candle levels well, then look to place trades in the direction of the trend that the Breakout Scanner is showing.
Other Indicators To Pair This With
Use this in combination with our Higher Timeframe Candle Levels indicator so you can see all of these levels being used to calculate the trend strength scores and watch how price reacts to those levels. You should also use our Trend Strength Indicator to easily read the historical trends of price compared to the higher timeframes and use those trends to guide you on when to trade and which direction to trade.
Trend Strength Indicator, Higher Timeframe Candle Levels and the Breakout Scanner all use the same levels to calculate the trend scores so they are designed to work all together to help you quickly be able to read a chart and find what direction to trade in.

Trend & Strength Detector TSDTrend Strength Detector (TSD)
*Objective Trend Quality Measurement for Educational Market Analysis*
Note: This mathematical framework is a proprietary quantitative model developed by Ario Pinelab, inspired by classical EMA, ADX, RSI and MACD principles, yet not documented in any public technical or academic publication.
## 🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
The ** Trend Strength Detector- TSD ** is an educational research tool that provides **quantitative measurement of trend quality** through two independent scoring systems (0-100 scale). It answers the analytical question: *"How strong and aligned is the current market trend environment?"*
This indicator is designed with a **modular, complementary approach** to work alongside various analysis methodologies, particularly pattern-based recognition systems.
## 🔗 Complementary Research Framework
### Designed to Work With Pattern Detection Systems
This indicator provides **environmental context measurement** that complements qualitative pattern recognition tools. It works particularly well alongside systems like:
- **RMBS Smart Detector - Multi-Factor Momentum System**
- Traditional chart pattern analyzers
- Any momentum-based pattern identification tools
🔍 **To find RMBS Smart Detector:**
- Search in TradingView Indicators Library: `" RMBS Smart Detector - Multi-Factor Momentum System"`
- Look for: *Multi-Factor Momentum System*
- By author: ` `
### Why This Complementary Approach?
**Trend Quality Measurement** (TSD - this tool) provides:
- ✅ Structural trend alignment (0-100 score)
- ✅ Momentum intensity levels (0-100 score)
- ✅ Environment classification (Strong/Moderate/Weak)
- 📌 **Answers:** *"HOW STRONG is the underlying trend environment?"*
### Educational Research Value
When used together in a research context, these tools enable systematic study of questions like:
- How do reversal patterns behave when Strength Score is above 70 vs below 30?
- Do continuation patterns in weakening environments (declining scores) show different characteristics?
- What is the correlation between high Alignment Scores and pattern "success rates"?
- Can environment classification help identify genuine trend initiation vs false starts?
⚠️ **Important Note:** Both tools are **independent and work standalone**. TSD provides value whether used alone or with other analysis methods. The relationship with RMBS (or any pattern tool) is **complementary for research purposes**, not dependent.

###Mathematical Foundation
##TSA Formula: scoring method developed by Ario
-Trend Model (0 – 100)
TAS = EMA Alignment (0–40) + Price Position (0–30) + Trend Consistency (0–30)
EMA Alignment checks EMA_fast vs EMA_slow vs EMA_trend structure.
Price Position evaluates if Close is above/below all EMAs.
Consistency = 3 × max(bullish,bearish bars within 10 candles).
-Strength Model (0 – 100)
Strength = ADX (0–50) + EMA Slope (0–25) + RSI (0–15) + MACD (0–10)
ADX measures trend energy; Slope shows EMA momentum %;
RSI assesses zone positioning; MACD confirms directional agreement.
Note: This formula represents a proprietary quantitative model by Ario_Pinelab, inspired by classical technical concepts but not published in any external reference.________________________________________

martingle trading bot⚙️ Martingle Trading Bot — Complete Description
The Martingle Trading Bot is a fully automated volatility-band visualization system that demonstrates the principles of breakout-based market logic combined with martingale-style position scaling. It is designed purely for educational, analytical, and backtesting visualization purposes on TradingView.
This tool shows how a simple mathematical band system can be used to define intraday breakout regions, evaluate sequential trade logic, and visualize how martingale-style compounding affects a trade sequence when price fluctuates around daily reference levels.
🧠 Conceptual Overview
The system works on a simple yet powerful market observation: markets oscillate within short-term ranges and occasionally break out beyond expected volatility envelopes. To capture and visualize these events, the Martingle Trading Bot uses a daily reset mechanism that defines a reference price, builds trading bands around it, and triggers theoretical buy/sell signals when price exceeds certain thresholds.
📅 1️⃣ Daily Reference Price (Central Core)
Every trading day begins with a reference price — typically the daily open. This reference acts as the neutral center for the system’s calculations. The indicator resets this reference daily and adjusts when target zones are hit, maintaining realistic adaptive logic.
📊 2️⃣ Dynamic Bands and Target Zones
From the reference price, the indicator constructs two key structures:
- Primary Band Range – defines the immediate trading zone using the “band range.”
- Target Band Range – extends beyond the primary band to define logical take-profit zones.
Price action beyond these regions indicates directional expansion and potential breakout strength.
📈 3️⃣ Breakout Logic (Trade Signal Simulation)
- When price crosses the upper band → bullish breakout condition.
- When price crosses the lower band → bearish breakout condition.
Each breakout is visualized on the chart and represents a theoretical position change.
🧮 4️⃣ Martingale Position Scaling
When a breakout occurs against the prior position, the system multiplies or increments position size based on user-defined settings. This models martingale-style compounding and resets when a target is reached. It helps illustrate how scaling affects drawdown and recovery potential.
💹 5️⃣ Virtual PnL Tracking
The indicator keeps virtual stats of profit/loss, win rate, and trade count. These metrics are illustrative only — no live or guaranteed results are implied.
🧭 6️⃣ Visual Chart Elements
Buy/Sell labels, take-profit labels, quantities, and color-coded zones appear on the chart to clearly display trade logic and band structure.
⚙️ 7️⃣ User Inputs
- Band Range
- Target Distance
- Initial Quantity
- Martingle Quantity
- Gap Detection Point
- Label Display Toggles
- Optional end-of-day reset
🧩 8️⃣ Use Cases
Ideal for traders, developers, and educators who want to study breakout systems, risk progression, and position scaling.
⚠️ 9️⃣ Risk Disclosure
This is not a live trading bot. It does not execute trades or guarantee profit. Martingale logic carries significant risk — consecutive losses can exponentially increase exposure. Use for study purposes only.

Breakout Boxes [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
The Breakout Boxes indicator identifies key structural levels by detecting and aligning two consecutive pivots — forming confirmation zones where potential breakouts are most likely to occur. Once two pivots align within a defined ATR range, the indicator constructs a Breakout Box around that area, tracking volume distribution and breakout strength. When price breaks above or below these boxes, breakout labels (⯁ BreakUp / BreakDn) are displayed to confirm trend continuation.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Pivot-Based Detection: Uses a customizable pivot length to identify market swing highs and lows.
Two-Pivot Alignment Logic: A breakout box is only created when two pivot highs or lows form near the same level, confirming structural alignment and increasing breakout reliability.
Dynamic Box Generation: Builds upper and lower boxes once pivot alignment is confirmed, adapting automatically to new structures.
Volume Distribution Analysis: Each box measures total traded volume and separates it into bullish and bearish components, showing buy/sell percentages inside the range.
The volume data is calculated in real time as long as the box remains active and unbroken, allowing traders to monitor live accumulation or distribution before a breakout occurs.
Breakout Confirmation Signals: Labels appear when price decisively breaks above the upper box (⯁ BreakUp) or below the lower one (⯁ BreakDn).
Adaptive ATR Scaling: Box size dynamically adjusts to volatility, maintaining consistent proportions across assets and timeframes.
Color-Coded Visualization: Upper (bearish) boxes use pink tones; lower (bullish) boxes use green, both with transparent fill for volume clarity.
Automatic Box Resetting: Previous boxes close when a new pivot pair forms, ensuring only the most relevant structure is active.
⯁ USAGE
Watch for Two Pivot Alignments — the indicator only activates when structural confluence exists, reducing false breakout signals.
Upper Boxes represent resistance formed by two aligned swing highs; a breakout above indicates potential bullish continuation.
Lower Boxes represent support formed by two aligned swing lows; a breakdown below indicates bearish continuation.
Analyze the Volume Ratio inside each box — higher buy volume in upper boxes supports bullish breakouts, while higher sell volume in lower boxes supports bearish moves.
Use this tool alongside trend indicators or higher timeframe context to confirm the direction of breakouts.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The Breakout Boxes indicator refines breakout analysis by requiring two aligned pivots to validate structural zones. By combining pivot confluence with volume distribution and adaptive ATR scaling, it provides a precise, data-backed visualization of breakout strength and direction — a powerful tool for structure-based trading confirmation.

Maxtra Range Breakout StrategyRange Breakout Strategy
This strategy identifies periods of price consolidation (range) and enters trades when the price breaks above or below the defined range. A breakout above the range signals a potential uptrend (buy), while a breakout below indicates a potential downtrend (sell). It helps capture strong directional moves following low-volatility phases.
Previous D/W/M HLOCHey traders,
Here's a simple Multi-Timeframe indicator that essentially turns time and price into a box. It'll take the previous high, low, opening price, or closing price from one of the three timeframes of your choice (day, week, or month). For whatever reason I can't get the opening price to function consistently so if you find improvements feel free to let me know, this will help traders who prefer to use opening price over closing price.
Naturally this form of charting is classical and nature and some key figures you could use to study its usage are
- Richard W. Schabacker (1930s)
- Edwards & Magee (1948)
- Peter Brandt
- Stacey Burke (more on the intraday side - typically our preference)
It's usage put plainly:
- Quantifying Accumulation or Distribution
- Revealing Energy Build-Up (Compression)
- Framing Breakouts and False Breakouts
- Structuring Time
- Identifying opportunities to trade a daily, weekly, or monthly range.
Luxy BIG beautiful Dynamic ORBThis is an advanced Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator that tracks price breakouts from the first 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes of the trading session. It provides complete trade management including entry signals, stop-loss placement, take-profit targets, and position sizing calculations.
The ORB strategy is based on the concept that the opening range of a trading session often acts as support/resistance, and breakouts from this range tend to lead to significant moves.
What Makes This Different?
Most ORB indicators simply draw horizontal lines and leave you to figure out the rest. This indicator goes several steps further:
Multi-Stage Tracking
Instead of just one ORB timeframe, this tracks FOUR simultaneously (5min, 15min, 30min, 60min). Each stage builds on the previous one, giving you multiple trading opportunities throughout the session.
Active Trade Management
When a breakout occurs, the indicator automatically calculates and displays entry price, stop-loss, and multiple take-profit targets. These lines extend forward and update in real-time until the trade completes.
Cycle Detection
Unlike indicators that only show the first breakout, this tracks the complete cycle: Breakout → Retest → Re-breakout. You can see when price returns to test the ORB level after breaking out (potential re-entry).
Failed Breakout Warning
If price breaks out but quickly returns inside the range (within a few bars), the label changes to "FAILED BREAK" - warning you to exit or avoid the trade.
Position Sizing Calculator
Built-in risk management that tells you exactly how many shares to buy based on your account size and risk tolerance. No more guessing or manual calculations.
Advanced Filtering
Optional filters for volume confirmation, trend alignment, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to reduce false signals and improve win rate.
Core Features Explained
### 1. Multi-Stage ORB Levels
The indicator builds four separate Opening Range levels:
ORB 5 - First 5 minutes (fastest signals, most volatile)
ORB 15 - First 15 minutes (balanced, most popular)
ORB 30 - First 30 minutes (slower, more reliable)
ORB 60 - First 60 minutes (slowest, most confirmed)
Each level is drawn as a horizontal range on your chart. As time progresses, the ranges expand to include more price action. You can enable or disable any stage and assign custom colors to each.
How it works: During the opening minutes, the indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low. Once the time period completes, those levels become your ORB high and low for that stage.
### 2. Breakout Detection
When price closes outside the ORB range, a label appears:
BREAK UP (green label above price) - Price closed above ORB High
BREAK DOWN (red label below price) - Price closed below ORB Low
The label shows which ORB stage triggered (ORB5, ORB15, etc.) and the cycle number if tracking multiple breakouts.
Important: Signals appear on bar close only - no repainting. What you see is what you get.
### 3. Retest Detection
After price breaks out and moves away, if it returns to test the ORB level, a "RETEST" label appears (orange). This indicates:
The original breakout level is now acting as support/resistance
Potential re-entry opportunity if you missed the first breakout
Confirmation that the level is significant
The indicator requires price to move a minimum distance away before considering it a valid retest (configurable in settings).
### 4. Failed Breakout Detection
If price breaks out but returns inside the ORB range within a few bars (before the breakout is "committed"), the original label changes to "FAILED BREAK" in orange.
This warns you:
The breakout lacked conviction
Consider exiting if already in the trade
Wait for better setup
Committed Breakout: The indicator tracks how many bars price stays outside the range. Only after staying outside for the minimum number of bars does it become a committed breakout that can be retested.
### 5. TP/SL Lines (Trade Management)
When a breakout occurs, colored horizontal lines appear showing:
Entry Line (cyan for long, orange for short) - Your entry price (the ORB level)
Stop Loss Line (red) - Where to exit if trade goes against you
TP1, TP2, TP3 Lines (same color as entry) - Profit targets at 1R, 2R, 3R
These lines extend forward as new bars form, making it easy to track your trade. When a target is hit, the line turns green and the label shows a checkmark.
Lines freeze (stop updating) when:
Stop loss is hit
The final enabled take-profit is hit
End of trading session (optional setting)
### 6. Position Sizing Dashboard
The dashboard (bottom-left corner by default) shows real-time information:
Current ORB stage and range size
Breakout status (Inside Range / Break Up / Break Down)
Volume confirmation (if filter enabled)
Trend alignment (if filter enabled)
Entry and Stop Loss prices
All enabled Take Profit levels with percentages
Risk/Reward ratio
Position sizing: Max shares to buy and total risk amount
Position Sizing Example:
If your account is $25,000 and you risk 1% per trade ($250), and the distance from entry to stop loss is $0.50, the calculator shows you can buy 500 shares (250 / 0.50 = 500).
### 7. FVG Filter (Fair Value Gap)
Fair Value Gaps are price inefficiencies - gaps left by strong momentum where one candle's high doesn't overlap with a previous candle's low (or vice versa).
When enabled, this filter:
Detects bullish and bearish FVGs
Draws semi-transparent boxes around these gaps
Only allows breakout signals if there's an FVG near the breakout level
Why this helps: FVGs indicate institutional activity. Breakouts through FVGs tend to be stronger and more reliable.
Proximity setting: Controls how close the FVG must be to the ORB level. 2.0x means the breakout can be within 2 times the FVG size - a reasonable default.
### 8. Volume & Trend Filters
Volume Filter:
Requires current volume to be above average (customizable multiplier). High volume breakouts are more likely to sustain.
Set minimum multiplier (e.g., 1.5x = 50% above average)
Set "strong volume" multiplier (e.g., 2.5x) that bypasses other filters
Dashboard shows current volume ratio
Trend Filter:
Only shows breakouts aligned with a higher timeframe trend. Choose from:
VWAP - Price above/below volume-weighted average
EMA - Price above/below exponential moving average
SuperTrend - ATR-based trend indicator
Combined modes (VWAP+EMA, VWAP+SuperTrend) for stricter filtering
### 9. Pullback Filter (Advanced)
Purpose:
Waits for price to pull back slightly after initial breakout before confirming the signal.
This reduces false breakouts from immediate reversals.
How it works:
- After breakout is detected, indicator waits for a small pullback (default 2%)
- Once pullback occurs AND price breaks out again, signal is confirmed
- If no pullback within timeout period (5 bars), signal is issued anyway
Settings:
Enable Pullback Filter: Turn this filter on/off
Pullback %: How much price must pull back (2% is balanced)
Timeout (bars): Max bars to wait for pullback (5 is standard)
When to use:
- Choppy markets with many fake breakouts
- When you want higher quality signals
- Combine with Volume filter for maximum confirmation
Trade-off:
- Better signal quality
- May miss some valid fast moves
- Slight entry delay
How to Use This Indicator
### For Beginners - Simple Setup
Add the indicator to your chart (5-minute or 15-minute timeframe recommended)
Leave all default settings - they work well for most stocks
Watch for BREAK UP or BREAK DOWN labels to appear
Check the dashboard for entry, stop loss, and targets
Use the position sizing to determine how many shares to buy
Basic Trading Plan:
Wait for a clear breakout label
Enter at the ORB level (or next candle open if you're late)
Place stop loss where the red line indicates
Take profit at TP1 (50% of position) and TP2 (remaining 50%)
### For Advanced Traders - Customized Setup
Choose which ORB stages to track (you might only want ORB15 and ORB30)
Enable filters: Volume (stocks) or Trend (trending markets)
Enable FVG filter for institutional confirmation
Set "Track Cycles" mode to catch retests and re-breakouts
Customize stop loss method (ATR for volatile stocks, ORB% for stable ones)
Adjust risk per trade and account size for accurate position sizing
Advanced Strategy Example:
Enable ORB15 only (disable others for cleaner chart)
Turn on Volume filter at 1.5x with Strong at 2.5x
Enable Trend filter using VWAP
Set Signal Mode to "Track Cycles" with Max 3 cycles
Wait for aligned breakouts (Volume + Trend + Direction)
Enter on retest if you missed the initial break
### Timeframe Recommendations
5-minute chart: Scalping, very active trading, crypto
15-minute chart: Day trading, balanced approach (most popular)
30-minute chart: Swing entries, less screen time
60-minute chart: Position trading, longer holds
The indicator works on any intraday timeframe, but ORB is fundamentally a day trading strategy. Daily charts don't make sense for ORB.

## Tips & Best Practices
### General Trading Tips
ORB works best on liquid instruments (stocks with good volume, major crypto pairs)
First hour of the session is most important - that's when ORB is forming
Breakouts WITH the trend have higher success rates - use the trend filter
Failed breakouts are common - use the "Min Bars Outside" setting to filter weak moves
Not every day produces good ORB setups - be patient and selective
### Position Sizing Best Practices
Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade
Use the built-in calculator - don't guess your position size
Update your account size monthly as it grows
Smaller accounts: use $ Amount mode for simplicity
Larger accounts: use % of Account mode for scaling
### Take Profit Strategy
Most traders use: 50% at TP1, 50% at TP2
Aggressive: Hold through TP1 for TP2 or TP3
Conservative: Full exit at TP1 (1:1 risk/reward)
After TP1 hits, consider moving stop to breakeven
TP3 rarely hits - only on strong trending days
### Filter Combinations
Maximum Quality: Volume + Trend + FVG (fewest signals, highest quality)
Balanced: Volume + Trend (good quality, reasonable frequency)
Active Trading: No filters or Volume only (many signals, lower quality)
Trending Markets: Trend filter essential (indices, crypto)
Range-Bound: Volume + FVG (avoid trend filter)
### Common Mistakes to Avoid
Chasing breakouts - wait for the bar to close, don't FOMO into wicks
Ignoring the stop loss - always use it, move it manually if needed
Over-leveraging - the calculator shows MAX shares, you can buy less
Trading every signal - quality > quantity, use filters
Not tracking results - keep a journal to see what works for YOU

## Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why are no signals appearing?
A: Check that you're on an intraday timeframe (5min, 15min, etc.) and that the current time is within your session hours. Also verify that "Enable Breakout Detection" is ON and at least one ORB stage is enabled. If using filters, they might be blocking signals - try disabling them temporarily.
Q: What's the best ORB stage to use?
A: ORB15 (15 minutes) is most popular and balanced. ORB5 gives faster signals but more noise. ORB30 and ORB60 are slower but more reliable. Many traders use ORB15 + ORB30 together.
Q: Should I enable all the filters?
A: Start with no filters to see all signals. If too many false signals, add Volume filter first (stocks) or Trend filter (trending markets). FVG filter is most restrictive - use for maximum quality but fewer signals.
Q: How do I know which stop loss method to use?
A: ATR works for most cases - it adapts to volatility. Use ORB% if you want predictable stop placement. Swing is for respecting chart structure. Safer gives you the most room but largest risk.
Q: Can I use this for swing trading?
A: Not really - ORB is fundamentally an intraday strategy. The ranges reset each day. For swing trading, look at weekly support/resistance or moving averages instead.
Q: Why do TP/SL lines disappear sometimes?
A: Lines freeze (stop extending) when: stop loss is hit, the last enabled take-profit is hit, or end of session arrives (if "Freeze at EOD" is enabled). This is intentional - the trade is complete.
Q: What's the difference between "First Only" and "Track Cycles"?
A: "First Only" shows one breakout UP and one DOWN per day maximum - clean but might miss opportunities. "Track Cycles" shows breakout-retest-rebreak sequences - more signals but busier chart.
Q: Is position sizing accurate for options/forex?
A: The calculator is designed for shares (stocks). For options, ignore the share count and use the risk amount. For forex, you'll need to adapt the lot size calculation manually.
Q: How much capital do I need to use this?
A: The indicator works for any account size, but practical day trading typically requires $25,000 in the US due to Pattern Day Trader rules. Adjust the "Account Size" setting to match your capital.
Q: Can I backtest this strategy?
A: This is an indicator, not a strategy script, so it doesn't have built-in backtesting. You can visually review historical signals or code a strategy script using similar logic.
Q: Why does the dashboard show different entry price than the breakout label?
A: If you're looking at an old breakout, the ORB levels may have changed when the next stage completed. The dashboard always shows the CURRENT active range and trade setup.
Q: What's a good win rate to expect?
A: ORB strategies typically see 40-60% win rate depending on market conditions and filters used. The strategy relies on positive risk/reward ratios (2:1 or better) to be profitable even with moderate win rates.
Q: Does this work on crypto?
A: Yes, but crypto trades 24/7 so you need to define what "session start" means. Use Session Mode = Custom and set your preferred daily reset time (e.g., 0000-2359 UTC).

Happy trading, and remember: consistent risk management beats perfect entry timing every time.
HV Spike Strategy (HVP + OR Breakout + Reversal + TP/SL Modes)Here is a script that I tried to make it simple, although it has several parameters, I will try to explain, here we go:
Logic: Open Range Breakout: otherwise knows as First Candle Rule, usually used for the first candle in the opening of a market session, in my strategy there is an option to use it even for Crypto that operate 24/7, how to do that? Simply by detecting Volatility from the HVP (Historical Volatility Percentile). Then the ORB logic kicks in and the first candle with high volatility gives the ranges for the trades. The proper HVP Activation Threshold has to be selected for each currency pair/index/crypto in order to have maximum profit.
Enter a trade: when the price goes 100% above/below the First Candle Rule Range. That way it is filtering fake breakouts. Also if the price reverses back into the range the strategy takes the opposite trade.
Exit a trade: SL/TP By percentage or ATR, selection in the input menu.
My intention is to avoid using lagging indicators or guessing of Price Action, purely Bull/Bear indication by the first candle.
I hope you find this helpful! Wishing all successful Trades!
