Smoothed Heiken Ashi Strategy Long OnlyThis is a trend-following approach that uses a modified version of Heiken Ashi candles with additional smoothing. Here are the key components and features:
1. Heiken Ashi Modification: The strategy starts by calculating Heiken Ashi candles, which are known for better trend visualization. However, it modifies the traditional Heiken Ashi by using Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) of the open, high, low, and close prices.
2. Double Smoothing: The strategy applies two layers of smoothing. First, it uses EMAs to calculate the Heiken Ashi values. Then, it applies another EMA to the Heiken Ashi open and close prices. This double smoothing aims to reduce noise and provide clearer trend signals.
3. Long-Only Approach: As the name suggests, this strategy only takes long positions. It doesn't short the market during downtrends but instead exits existing long positions when the sell signal is triggered.
4. Entry and Exit Conditions:
- Entry (Buy): When the smoothed Heiken Ashi candle color changes from red to green (indicating a potential start of an uptrend).
- Exit (Sell): When the smoothed Heiken Ashi candle color changes from green to red (indicating a potential end of an uptrend).
5. Position Sizing: The strategy uses a percentage of equity for position sizing, defaulting to 100% of available equity per trade. This should be tailored to each persons unique approach. Responsible trading would use less than 5% for each trade. The starting capital used is a responsible and conservative $1000, reflecting the average trader.
This strategy aims to provide a smooth, trend-following approach that may be particularly useful in markets with clear, sustained trends. However, it may lag in choppy or ranging markets due to its heavy smoothing. As with any strategy, it's important to thoroughly backtest and forward test before using it with real capital, and to consider using it in conjunction with other analysis tools and risk management techniques.
This has been created mainly to provide data to judge what time frame is most profitable for any single asset, as the volatility of each asset is different. This can bee seen using it on AUXUSD, which has a higher profitable result on the daily time frame, whereas other currencies need a higher or lower time frame. The user can toggle between each time frame and watch for the higher profit results within the strategy tester window.
Other smoothed Heiken Ashi indicators also do not provide buy and sell signals, and only show the change in color to dictate a change in trend. By adding buy and sell signals after the close of the candle in which the candle changes color, alerts can be programmed, which helps this be a more hands off protocol to experiment with. Other smoothed Heiken Ashi indicators do not allow for alarms to be set.
This is a unique HODL strategy which helps identify a change in trend, without the noise of day to day volatility. By switching to a line chart, it removes the candles altogether to avoid even more noise. The goal is to HODL a coin while the color is bullish in an uptrend, but once the indicator gives a sell signal, to sell the holdings back to a stable coin and let the chart ride down. Once the chart gives the next buy signal, use that same capital to buy back into the asset. In essence this removes potential losses, and helps buy back in cheaper, gaining more quantitity fo the asset, and therefore reducing your average initial buy in price.
Most HODL strategies ride the price up, miss selling at the top, then riding the price back down in anticipation that it will go back up to sell. This strategy will not hit the absolute tops, but it will greatly reduce potential losses.

Expectation Breakers [QuantVue]In technical analysis, an "Expectation Breaker" refers to a market event where price action defies typical patterns and anticipated movements, signaling potential shifts in market sentiment and direction.
This indicator looks to take advantage of these opportunities by identifying 2 types of Expectation Breakers: Downside Reversal Buybacks and Upside Reversal Sellbacks.
Downside Reversal
A downside reversals occur when a stock reaches a new high for the user defined lookback period (65 bars by default), and then experiences a larger-than-average drop and closes near its lows. This usually indicates that the market has overextended itself. The expectation is that there will be 2-3 bars of significant selling, following the downside reversal.
However, a notable sign of strength is if the stock rebounds and closes above the downside reversal bar's high within 1-3 bars. This is known as a Downside Reversal Buyback. A rapid recovery following a downside reversal is a powerful bullish indicator, breaking the expectation of lower prices. The quicker price recovers from a downside reversal, the more meaningful it is. Such a swift rebound suggests that the market's strength was underestimated, as downside reversals typically signal a short-term decline.
Upside Reversal
An upside reversal occurs when a stock reaches a new low for the user-defined lookback period (65 bars by default), and then experiences a larger-than-average rise and closes near its highs. This usually indicates that the market has overextended itself to the downside. The expectation is that there will be 2-3 bars of significant buying, following the upside reversal.
However, a notable sign of weakness is if the stock falls back and closes below the upside reversal bar's low within 1-3 bars. This is known as a Upside Reversal Sellback. A rapid fallback following an upside reversal is a powerful bearish indicator, breaking the expectation of higher prices. The quicker price falls back from an upside reversal, the more meaningful it is. Such a swift fallback suggests that the market's weakness was underestimated, as upside reversals typically signal a short-term rally.
The Expectation Breakers indicator identifies these opportunities by first identifying new highs and lows within a defined lookback period. It then compares the true range (TR), average true range (ATR), and closing range to confirm the significance of these reversals. The use of TR and ATR ensures that the reversals are substantial enough to indicate a genuine shift in market sentiment, helping to identify when price action breaks expectations.

slope-velocityDescription
This Pine Script indicator, named "slope-velocity," calculates and visualizes the slope of a moving average (MA) in degrees, allowing users to observe the rate of change of the MA over time. Here's a breakdown of its components and functionality:
Inputs:
option: A dropdown menu allowing the user to select the type of moving average (SMA, EMA, DEMA).
length: An integer input for specifying the period length of the moving average.
source: The data source for the moving average calculation, defaulting to the close price.
Variable Initialization:
ma: A variable to store the moving average value, initialized as na.
Moving Average Calculation:
Depending on the selected option, the script calculates the appropriate moving average:
ta.sma(source, length) for Simple Moving Average (SMA).
ta.ema(source, length) for Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
ta.dema(source, length) for Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA).
Slope Calculation:
slope_ma: The script calculates the slope of the moving average by subtracting the previous period's MA value from the current period's MA value (ma - ma ).
Slope Conversion to Degrees:
slope_degrees_ma: The slope is converted to degrees using the math.atan function to compute the arctangent of the slope, followed by math.todegrees to convert the result from radians to degrees. The result is rounded to the nearest integer using math.round.
Plotting Reference Lines:
Horizontal lines are plotted at specific degree values (0, 10, 20, -10, -20) to provide reference points for the slope's visualization.
Plotting the Slope:
The slope in degrees is plotted as a histogram. The color of the histogram bars is determined by the sign of the slope: green for positive slopes and red for negative slopes.
Additional Comments
The script includes some commented-out sections related to plotting acceleration and displaying labels for slope differences, which are not active in the current implementation.
The script is designed to provide a visual representation of the moving average's rate of change, making it easier to identify periods of rapid price movement and potential trend reversals.
FVG & IFVG ICT [TradingFinder] Inversion Fair Value Gap Signal🔵 Introduction
🟣 Fair Value Gap (FVG)
To spot a Fair Value Gap (FVG) on a chart, you need to perform a detailed candle-by-candle analysis.
Here’s the process :
Focus on Candles with Large Bodies : Identify a candle with a substantial body and examine it alongside the preceding candle.
Check Surrounding Candles : The candles immediately before and after the central candle should have long shadows.
Ensure No Overlap : The bodies of the candles before and after the central candle should not overlap with the body of the central candle.
Determine the FVG Range : The gap between the shadows of the first and third candles forms the FVG range.
🟣 ICT Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG)
An ICT Inversion Fair Value Gap, also known as a reverse FVG, is a failed fair value gap where the price does not respect the gap. An IFVG forms when a fair value gap fails to hold the price and the price moves beyond it, breaking the fair value gap.
This marks the initial shift in price momentum. Typically, when the price moves in one direction, it respects the fair value gaps and continues its trend.
However, if a fair value gap is violated, it acts as an inversion fair value gap, indicating the first change in price momentum, potentially leading to a short-term reversal or a subsequent change in direction.
🟣 Bullish Inversion Fair Value Gap (Bullish IFVG)
🟣 Bearish Inversion Fair Value Gap (Bearish IFVG)
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Identify an Inversion Fair Value Gap
To identify an IFVG, you first need to recognize a fair value gap. Just as fair value gaps come in two types, inversion fair value gaps also fall into two categories:
🟣 Bullish Inversion Fair Value Gap
A bullish IFVG is essentially a bearish fair value gap that is invalidated by the price closing above it.
Here’s how to identify it :
Identify a bearish fair value gap.
When the price closes above this bearish fair value gap, it transforms into a bullish inversion fair value gap.
This gap acts as support for the price and drives it upwards, indicating a reduction in sellers' strength and an initial shift in momentum towards buyers.
🟣 Bearish Inversion Fair Value Gap
A bearish IFVG is primarily a bullish fair value gap that fails to hold the price, with the price closing below it.
Here’s how to identify it :
Identify a bullish fair value gap.
When the price closes below this gap, it becomes a bearish inversion fair value gap.
This gap acts as resistance for the price, pushing it downwards. A bearish inversion fair value gap signifies a decrease in buyers' momentum and an increase in sellers' strength.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Global Setting
Show All FVG : If it is turned off, only the last FVG will be displayed.
S how All Inversion FVG : If it is turned off, only the last FVG will be displayed.
FVG and IFVG Validity Period (Bar) : You can specify the maximum time the FVG and the IFVG remains valid based on the number of candles from the origin.
Switching Colors Theme Mode : Three modes "Off", "Light" and "Dark" are included in this parameter. "Light" mode is for color adjustment for use in "Light Mode".
"Dark" mode is for color adjustment for use in "Dark Mode" and "Off" mode turns off the color adjustment function and the input color to the function is the same as the output color.
🟣 Logic Setting
FVG Filter
When utilizing FVG filtering, the number of identified FVG areas undergoes refinement based on a specified algorithm. This process helps to focus on higher quality signals and eliminate noise.
Here are the types of FVG filters available :
Very Aggressive Filter : Introduces an additional condition to the initial criteria. For an upward FVG, the highest price of the last candle must exceed the highest price of the middle candle. Similarly, for a downward FVG, the lowest price of the last candle should be lower than the lowest price of the middle candle. This mode minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter : Builds upon the Very Aggressive mode by considering the size of the middle candle. It ensures the middle candle is not too small, thereby eliminating more FVGs compared to the Very Aggressive mode.
Defensive Filter : In addition to the conditions of the Very Aggressive mode, the Defensive mode incorporates criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle. It requires the middle candle to have a substantial body, with specific polarity conditions for the second and third candles relative to the first candle's direction. This mode filters out a significant number of FVGs, focusing on higher-quality signals.
Very Defensive Filter : Further refines filtering by adding conditions that the first and third candles should not be small-bodied doji candles. This stringent mode eliminates the majority of FVGs, retaining only the highest quality signals.
Mitigation Level FVG and IFVG : Its inputs are one of "Proximal", "Distal" or "50 % OB" modes, which you can enter according to your needs. The "50 % OB" line is the middle line between distal and proximal.
🟣 Display Setting
Show Bullish FVG : Enables the display of demand-related boxes, which can be toggled on or off.
Show Bearish FVG : Enables the display of supply-related boxes along the path, which can also be toggled on or off.
Show Bullish IFVG : Enables the display of demand-related boxes, which can be toggled on or off.
Show Bearish IFVG : Enables the display of supply-related boxes along the path, which can also be toggled on or off.
🟣 Alert Setting
Alert FVG Mitigation : If you want to receive the alert about FVG's mitigation after setting the alerts, leave this tick on. Otherwise, turn it off.
Alert Inversion FVG Mitigation : If you want to receive the alert about Inversion FVG's mitigation after setting the alerts, leave this tick on. Otherwise, turn it off.
Message Frequency : This parameter, represented as a string, determines the frequency of announcements. Options include: 'All' (triggers the alert every time the function is called), 'Once Per Bar' (triggers the alert only on the first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (activates the alert only during the final script execution of the real-time bar upon closure). The default setting is 'Once per Bar'.
Show Alert time by Time Zone : The date, hour, and minute displayed in alert messages can be configured to reflect any chosen time zone. For instance, if you prefer London time, you should input 'UTC+1'. By default, this input is configured to the 'UTC' time zone.
Display More Info : The 'Display More Info' option provides details regarding the price range of the order blocks (Zone Price), along with the date, hour, and minute. If you prefer not to include this information in the alert message, you should set it to 'Off'.
Candlestick Structure [LuxAlgo]The Candlestick Structure indicator detects major market trends and displays various candlestick patterns aligning with the detected trend, filtering out potentially unwanted patterns as a result. Multiple trend detection methods are included and can be selected by the users.
A dashboard showing the alignment percentage of each individual pattern is also provided.
🔶 USAGE
By distinguishing major and minor trend detection, we can still detect patterns based on minor trends, yet filter out the patterns that do not align with the major trend.
By detecting candlestick patterns that align with a major trend, we can effectively detect the ending points of retracements, potentially providing various entry points of interest within a trend.
Users are able to track the alignment of each candlestick pattern in the dashboard to reveal which patterns typically align with the trend and which may not.
Note: Alignment % only checks if the pattern's direction is the same as the current trend direction. These are only raw readings and not any type of confidence score.
🔶 DETAILS
In this indicator, we are identifying and tracking 16 different Candlestick Patterns.
🔹 Bullish Patterns
Hammer: Identified by a small upper wick (or no upper wick) with a small body, and an elongated lower wick whose length is 2X greater than the candle body’s width.

Propulsion Blocks | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Propulsion Blocks indicator! This new indicator can find & render ICT's propulsion blocks in the current ticker. It's highly customizable with detection, invalidation and style settings. For more information, please visit the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Features of the new Propulsion Blocks indicator :
Render Bullish & Bearish Propulsion Blocks
Customizable Algorithm
Enable / Disable Historic Zones
Visual Customizability
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
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. One of which this indicator uses requires a large engulfing candlestick right after another one of the opposite direction. Then if the price comes back to retest the area that two candlesticks create, then it's an order block pattern.
Propulsion blocks are a specific type of order block used in the trading methodology. They build on the concept of order blocks and aim to identify potential areas for strong price movements. They are detected when a candlestick wicks to any existing order block, retesting it. Then a strong momentum in the direction of the order block is needed for the propulsion block to get created. Check this example :
You can use them as entry / exit points, or for confirmations for your trades. For example, a successful retest attempt to a bullish propulsion block might hint a strong bullish momentum. This indicator works best when used together with other ICT concepts.
🚩UNIQUENESS
Propulsion blocks can help traders identify key levels in a chart, and can be used mainly for confirmation. This indicator can identify and show them automatically in your chart, and provides customization settings for order & propulsion block detection and invalidation. Another capability of the indicator is that it combines overlapping order & propulsion blocks so you will have a clean look at the chart without any overlapping zones.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Show Historic Zones -> This setting will hide invalidated propulsion blocks if enabled.
Max Distance To Last Bar -> This setting defines the maximum range that the indicator will find propulsion blocks to the past. Higher options will make older zones visible.
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for Order Block & Propulsion Block Invalidation.
Swing Length -> Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order blocks.

Line Colors: Allows customization of colors for small and large gaps.
Line Thickness and Style: Provides options to adjust the thickness and style (solid, dotted, dashed) of the trend lines.
Drawing Extended Trend Lines:
For each bar (candlestick) on the chart, the script checks if there is a gap between the previous candle's close and the current candle's open.
If a gap is detected (i.e., close != open), it determines the size of the gap.
Depending on the size relative to the defined threshold, it selects the appropriate color (small or large gap).
It then draws an extended trend line that starts from the close of the previous candle (bar_index , close ) and extends to the open of the current candle (bar_index, open).
The trend line is drawn with the specified thickness, color, and style.
Dynamic Line Attribute Changes:
The script includes a function (changeLineAttributes()) that periodically changes the color and style of the trend lines.
By default, it changes the color every 4 hours (adjustable), alternating between green and the original color.
Enhanced Functionality:
Handles both small and large gaps with different visual cues (colors).
Supports extended trend lines that span both past and future directions (extend=extend.both), ensuring visibility across the entire chart.
Usage:
Traders can use the "Gap Trend Lines" script to:
Identify and analyze gaps between candlesticks.
Visualize significant price movements or breaks in continuity.
Customize the appearance of trend lines for better clarity and analysis.
By utilizing this script, traders can gain insights into price gap dynamics directly on TradingView charts, aiding in decision-making and strategy development.

Scalp Slayer (i)📊 The Foundation: Core Parameters and Inputs
Filter Number: This parameter is the cornerstone of the script’s sensitivity control. It adjusts the threshold for market volatility that the script considers significant enough for a trade. By default, it's set to 1.5, striking a balance between aggressiveness and conservatism. Traders can tweak this number to make the script more or less sensitive to price fluctuations. A higher number captures smaller, more frequent price movements, ideal for an aggressive trading style. Conversely, a lower number filters out minor noise, focusing on more substantial movements.
EMA Trend Period: The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is critical for identifying the market's direction. The script uses an EMA calculated over a default period of 50 bars to discern whether the market is trending up or down. This helps in making decisions that align with the overall market trend, thereby increasing the likelihood of successful trades.
Lookback Period: This parameter, set to 20 periods by default, is used to calculate recent highs and lows. These values are crucial for setting realistic take profit and stop-loss levels, as they reflect recent market behavior. The lookback period helps the script adapt to current market conditions by analyzing recent price actions to identify key support and resistance levels.
Color Settings: For enhanced visualization, the script allows customization of colors for take profit and stop-loss markers. By default, take profit levels are marked in orange, and stop-loss levels in red. This color coding helps traders quickly identify important levels on the chart.
Visibility Controls: The script includes options to toggle the display of buy and sell labels, as well as to enable or disable strategy plotting for backtesting and real-time analysis. These controls help traders tailor the script’s visual output to their preferences, making it easier to focus on key trading signals.
🛠️ The Mechanics: How "Scalp Slayer (i)" Operates
1. Calculating the Trading Range and Trend EMA
True Range Calculation: The script begins by calculating the true range, which is the difference between the high and low prices of a bar. This measure of volatility is crucial for identifying significant price movements.
EMA of True Range: The script then smooths the true range using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This helps filter out minor price fluctuations, ensuring that the script only reacts to meaningful changes in price. The sensitivity of this filter is adjusted by the filter number, which multiplies the EMA to fine-tune the script's responsiveness to price changes.
Trend EMA: To determine the market’s trend, the script calculates an EMA over the close prices for the specified trend period (default is 50). This trend EMA acts as a benchmark for identifying whether the market is trending up or down. The script uses this trend filter to ensure trades are made in the direction of the prevailing market trend, thereby reducing the risk of trading against the trend.
2. Identifying Recent Highs and Lows
Recent Highs and Lows: The script uses the lookback period to identify the highest and lowest prices over a set number of bars. These recent highs and lows serve as reference points for setting take profit and stop-loss levels. By analyzing recent price action, the script ensures that these levels are relevant to current market conditions, providing a dynamic and contextually accurate approach to risk management.
🔄 Strategic Entry and Exit Conditions
3. Defining Buy and Sell Conditions
Buy Condition: The script establishes a set of criteria for entering a buy trade. First, the closing price must be above the trend EMA, indicating an upward trend. Additionally, the script looks for a sequence of candles showing progressively higher closes, signifying strong upward momentum. The current trading range must exceed the EMA of the true range, confirming that the market is experiencing significant movement. This combination of trend alignment and momentum ensures that buy trades are placed in favorable market conditions.
Sell Condition: Similarly, for sell trades, the script requires the closing price to be below the trend EMA, indicating a downward trend. It also checks for a sequence of candles with progressively lower closes, indicating strong downward momentum. The trading range must again exceed the EMA of the true range, ensuring that the market is moving significantly. These conditions help ensure that sell trades are only taken when the market is likely to continue moving downwards, increasing the chances of profitable trades.
4. Executing Trades and Setting Profit Targets
Long Entry: When the buy condition is met, the script enters a long position at the closing price of the confirmation bar. It then sets a take profit level at the recent high, which serves as a realistic target based on recent price action. The stop-loss level is set at the recent low, providing a safety net against adverse price movements. This approach ensures that trades are closed at optimal points, maximizing profit while minimizing risk.
Short Entry: When the sell condition is met, the script enters a short position at the closing price of the confirmation bar. The take profit level is set at the recent low, and the stop-loss level is set at the recent high. This setup ensures that short trades are closed at favorable levels, capturing gains while protecting against potential losses.
5. Managing Take Profit and Stop Loss
Take Profit and Stop Loss Mechanism: The script continually monitors the market for conditions that meet the take profit or stop-loss criteria. For long trades, the script closes the position if the price reaches or exceeds the take profit level, ensuring profits are locked in. It also closes the position if the price drops to or below the stop-loss level, preventing further losses. For short trades, the script closes the position if the price drops to or below the take profit level, or rises to or above the stop-loss level. This dynamic management of trades helps ensure that profits are maximized while risks are minimized.
🌟 Enhanced Visuals and Debugging Features
Customizable and Informative Plots
Buy and Sell Labels: The script includes options to display labels for buy and sell signals on the chart. These labels provide clear visual cues for trading opportunities, making it easy to identify entry points at a glance. Traders can customize the visibility of these labels based on their preferences, helping them focus on the most important signals.
Take Profit and Stop Loss Markers: To aid in monitoring trades, the script displays distinctive markers for take profit and stop-loss levels. These markers are color-coded for easy differentiation and are placed on the chart to provide clear indications of where trades are likely to be closed. This visual representation helps traders quickly assess the status of their trades and make informed decisions.
Trend and Price Plots: The script plots the trend EMA and recent highs/lows on the chart for quick reference. These plots provide a visual representation of key levels and trends, helping traders make more informed decisions based on current market conditions. By displaying these critical levels, the script enhances situational awareness and aids in the decision-making process.
Debugging and Validation Tools
Bar Index Plotting: For those interested in validating the script's performance, the script includes options to plot the bar index. This feature allows traders to monitor the script's behavior in real-time, ensuring that it is functioning as expected. This can be particularly useful for debugging and optimizing the script.
Condition Printing: The script also includes options to print detailed information about take profit and stop-loss conditions. This feature provides insights into the script's decision-making process, helping traders understand why certain trades were executed or closed. By providing transparency into the script's logic, this feature aids in fine-tuning and improving the script's performance.
Wolfe Wave Detector [LuxAlgo]The Wolfe Wave Detector displays occurrences of Wolfe Waves, alongside a target line. A multiple swing detection approach is used to maximize the number of detected waves.
The indicator includes a dashboard with the number of detected waves, as well as the number of reached targets.
🔶 USAGE
The Wolfe Wave pattern is a chart pattern composed of five segments, with the initial segment extremities (points XABCD) forming a channel containing price variations.
After the price reaches point D , we can expect a reversal toward a target line (point E ). The target line is obtained by connecting and extending point X -> C .
The script draws the XABCD pattern and a projection of where E might potentially be located.
The projection is derived from the intersection between the target line and a line starting from D , parallel to B-C . From this line, margins are added, left and right, creating a wedge-shaped figure in most cases.
When the price passes the target line, this is highlighted by a dot. The dot and pattern are green by default when the target is above D and red when the target is below D . Colors can be edited in the settings. The dashed target line is colored in the opposite color.
As seen in the above example, the price trend can reverse after reaching the target line.
🔹 Symmetry
Ideally, the Wolfe Wave must have a degree of symmetry; every upward line should have a similar angle to the other upward lines, and the same should be true for the downward lines.
Also, the lines forming the channel should be as parallel as possible.
Users have the option to adjust the tolerance:
Margin controls the wave symmetry of the pattern
Angle controls the channel symmetry of the pattern
It's important to note that in both cases, a lower number will lead to more symmetrical patterns, but they may appear less frequently.
It is also important to note that increasing the Margin can delay validating the pattern. In the meantime, the price could surpass the channel in the opposite direction, invalidating and deleting the otherwise valid pattern.
🔹 Multiple Swings
Users can set a Minimum Swing length (for example 2) and a Maximum Swing length (for example 100) which defines the range of the swing point detection length, higher values for these settings will detect longer-term Wolfe patterns, while a larger range will allow for the detection of a larger number of patterns.
By using multiple swings, it is possible to find smaller next to larger patterns at the same time.
The dashboard shows the number of patterns found and targets reached. When, for example, bullish patterns are disabled in the settings, the dashboard only shows the results of bearish patterns.
🔹 Extend Target Line
The publication includes a setting that allows the Target Line to be extended up to 50 bars further. As seen in the above example, the Target Line can still be reached even after the pattern has been finalized. Once the Target Line is reached, it won't be updated further.
Here is another example of a Target Line being reached later on.
The Target Line acted as a support level, after which where the price changed direction.
🔹 Show Progression
An option is included to show the progression before the pattern is completed. Users can make use of the XABC pattern or visualize where point D should be positioned.
The focus lies on the bar range (between the left and right borders of the grey rectangle). The pattern is considered invalid and deleted when point D is beyond these limits. The height of the rectangle is optional. Ideally, the price should be located between the top and bottom of the rectangle, but it is not mandatory.
Show Progression has three options including:
Full: Show all lines of XABC plus line C-D and rectangle for the position of point D
Partial: Show line C-D and rectangle for the position of point D
None: Only show valid completed patterns
The 'Partial' option in the 'Show Progression' feature is designed to help users locate the desired position of point D without the visual clutter caused by the XABC lines. This can be useful for those who prefer a cleaner visual representation of the evolving pattern.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Swing Length
Minimum: Minimum length used for the swing detection.
Maximum Swing Length: Maximum length used for the swing detection.
🔹 Tolerance
Margin: Influences the symmetry of the pattern; with a higher number allowing for less symmetry.
Angle: Influences the symmetry of the channel; with a higher number allowing for less symmetry.
🔹 Style
Toggle: Bullish/Bearish + colors
Extend Target Line: Extend a maximum of 50 bars or until Target Line is reached
Show Progression: Show pattern progression
Dot Size: The size of the dot when the Target Line is reached
🔹 Dashboard
Show Dashboard: Toggle dashboard which shows the number of found patterns and targets reached.
Location: Location of the dashboard on the chart.
Text Size: Text size.
🔹 Calculation

US M2### Relevance and Functionality of the "US M2" Indicator
#### Relevance
The "US M2" indicator is relevant for several reasons:
1. **Macro-Economic Insight**: The M2 money supply is a critical indicator of the amount of liquidity in the economy. Changes in M2 can significantly impact financial markets, including equities, commodities, and cryptocurrencies.
2. **Trend Identification**: By analyzing the M2 money supply with moving averages, the indicator helps identify long-term and short-term trends, providing insights into economic conditions and potential market movements.
3. **Trading Signals**: The indicator generates bullish and bearish signals based on moving average crossovers and the difference between current M2 values and their moving averages. These signals can be useful for making informed trading decisions.
#### How It Works
1. **Data Input**:
- **US M2 Money Supply**: The indicator fetches the US M2 money supply data using the "USM2" symbol with a monthly resolution.
2. **Moving Averages**:
- **50-Period SMA**: Calculates the Simple Moving Average (SMA) over 50 periods (months) to capture short-term trends.
- **200-Period SMA**: Calculates the SMA over 200 periods to identify long-term trends.
3. **Difference Calculation**:
- **USM2 Difference**: Computes the difference between the current M2 value and its 50-period SMA to highlight deviations from the short-term trend.
4. **Amplification**:
- **Amplified Difference**: Multiplies the difference by 100 to make the deviations more visible on the chart.
5. **Bullish and Bearish Conditions**:
- **Bullish Condition**: When the current M2 value is above the 50-period SMA, indicating a positive short-term trend.
- **Bearish Condition**: When the current M2 value is below the 50-period SMA, indicating a negative short-term trend.
6. **Short-Term SMA of Amplified Difference**:
- **14-Period SMA**: Applies a 14-period SMA to the amplified difference to smooth out short-term fluctuations and provide a clearer trend signal.
7. **Plots and Visualizations**:
- **USM2 Plot**: Plots the US M2 data for reference.
- **200-Period SMA Plot**: Plots the long-term SMA to show the broader trend.
- **Amplified Difference Histogram**: Plots the amplified difference as a histogram with green bars for bullish conditions and red bars for bearish conditions.
- **SMA of Amplified Difference**: Plots the 14-period SMA of the amplified difference to track the trend of deviations.
8. **Moving Average Cross Signals**:
- **Bullish Cross**: Plots an upward triangle when the 50-period SMA crosses above the 200-period SMA, signaling a potential long-term uptrend.
- **Bearish Cross**: Plots a downward triangle when the 50-period SMA crosses below the 200-period SMA, signaling a potential long-term downtrend.
### Summary
The "US M2" indicator provides a comprehensive view of the US M2 money supply, highlighting significant trends and deviations. By combining short-term and long-term moving averages with amplified difference analysis, it offers valuable insights and trading signals based on macroeconomic liquidity conditions.
