BRT Cluster VolumeTitle and Purpose
BRT Cluster Volume is a powerful market analysis tool designed to identify key support and resistance levels, cluster volumes, and breakout signals. This script is highly beneficial for traders who aim to gain deeper insights into market trends and pinpoint zones of interest for buyers and sellers.
Key Features
1. Support and Resistance Levels:
- The script automatically detects chart extremums by analyzing a specified number of bars on the left and right to form levels. This approach effectively identifies local highs and lows.
- The uniqueness of this implementation lies in its dynamic data processing. For each extremum, the "channel width" is calculated, allowing insignificant levels to be filtered out based on a user-defined minimum width. This method eliminates noise and ensures focus on critical levels.
- Extremum lines can be extended to the right (when enabled), allowing traders to track current price movements relative to historical levels.
2. Cluster Volume:
- The cluster analysis is based on lower timeframe data, providing precise identification of key zones of market participant activity. The script dynamically requests close prices and volumes from lower timeframes, calculates the average volume, and identifies levels where volumes exceed a defined threshold.
- The visualization of cluster volumes is unique: volumes exceeding the threshold are displayed as candles with customizable colors and markers. These indicators help traders identify zones of significant interest.
- Cluster volume is only displayed when it interacts with support or resistance levels, ensuring that the visualization remains precise and relevant for market analysis.
3. Breakout Signals:
- The script evaluates "breakout strength" for each breakout of support or resistance levels by comparing the current price with the level. This helps filter false breakouts and focus on significant price movements.
- Traders can select the source for breakout signals (close price or high/low), offering flexibility for various trading styles and strategies.
- By incorporating the concept of "maximum breakout strength," the script highlights only meaningful breakouts, ignoring minor fluctuations.
4. Integration of Trading Sessions:
- Extremum levels for major trading sessions (Asia, Europe, USA) are identified and labeled on the chart. This allows traders to see when significant price levels were formed during the day.
- The script uses timestamps to automatically detect session times, ensuring accuracy and minimizing manual adjustments.
5. Dynamic Data Updates:
- The script dynamically updates support and resistance levels in real time as new data becomes available. This feature is crucial for traders working in fast-moving markets.
- Outdated information (such as obsolete levels) is automatically removed to keep the chart clean and focused on relevant data.
6. Visualization of Activity Zones:
- Trend direction is visualized using color-coded candles based on cluster volumes. For instance, candles with volumes exceeding the average are highlighted with specific colors, helping traders quickly identify areas of heightened activity.
- The unique aspect of this visualization is that cluster volumes appear only in zones where they interact with breakout levels, providing an intuitive and streamlined presentation of critical data.
Usage
- Support and Resistance: Adjust the "Left Bars" and "Right Bars" settings to determine extremums. Use the "Channel Min Width" setting to filter out insignificant levels.
- Cluster Volume: Customize the analysis period and volume threshold to identify high-activity zones. Enable breakout clusters to see how volumes interact with breakouts.
- Session Extremums: Highlight significant levels for Asia, Europe, and US trading sessions to gain insights into market dynamics across different time zones.
- Breakout Signals: Configure the breakout strength and source (close or high/low) for precise signal detection.

Motifs graphiques
Earnings Gap UpsBased on research conducted by John Pocorobba and Jason Thompson, the Earnings Gap Ups Indicator is designed to identify three types of earnings gaps, key levels, and the "alpha window"—a period when stocks often outperform following a gap. These gaps are frequently observed in high-performing stocks.
What is an Earnings Gap?
An earnings gap occurs when a stock's price makes a significant jump, after the company reports earnings signifying the street (institutions) were caught off guard.
The three different types of gaps are as follows: [/b
PEG (Power Earnings Gap)
Price gain of 10% or more
Volume is greater than 200% above the 50-day average
EPS surprise of at least 20%
Monster Gap
Price gain of 20% or more
Volume is greater than 300% above the 50-day average
No fundamental requirement
Monster Peg
Price Gain of 20% or more
Volume is greater than 300% above the 50-day average
EPS surprise of at least 20%
Key Levels and the Alpha Window
In addition to spotting these gaps, the indicator marks key levels on the chart and extends them through the alpha window, which represents the time period when the stock tends to outperform after the gap.
Key levels include:
High volume close: The closing price on a day with unusually high trading volume
High volume close minus 5%: A potential support level below the high volume close
Gap day high: The highest price reached on the gap day
Gap day low: The lowest price reached on the gap day
By understanding and tracking these gaps and levels, traders can map out a playbook for trading earnings gaps.
Weekly Covered Calls Strategy with IV & Delta LogicWhat Does the Indicator Do?
this is interactive you must use it with your options chain to input data based on the contract you want to trade.
Visualize three strike price levels for covered calls based on:
Aggressive (closest to price, riskier).
Moderate (mid-range, balanced).
Low Delta (farthest, safer).
Incorporate Implied Volatility (IV) from the options chain to make strike predictions more realistic and aligned with market sentiment. Adjust the risk tolerance by modifying Delta inputs and IV values. Risk is defined for example .30 delta means 30% chance of your shares being assigned. If you want to generate steady income with your shares you might want to lower the risk of them being assigned to .05 or 5% etc.
How to Use the Indicator with the Options Chain
Start with the Options Chain:
Look for the following data points from your options chain:
Implied Volatility (IV Mid): Average IV for a particular strike price.
Delta:
~0.30 Delta: Closest strike (Aggressive).
~0.15–0.20 Delta: Mid-range strike (Moderate).
~0.05–0.10 Delta: Far OTM, safer (Low Delta).
Strike Price: Identify strike prices for the desired Deltas.
Open Interest: Check liquidity; higher OI ensures tighter spreads.
Input IV into the Indicator:
Enter the IV Mid value (e.g., 0.70 for 70%) from the options chain into the Implied Volatility field of the indicator.
Adjust Delta Inputs Based on Risk Tolerance:
Aggressive Delta: Increase if you want strikes closer to the current price (riskier, higher premium).
Default: 0.2 (20% chance of shares being assigned).
Moderate Delta: Balanced risk/reward.
Default: 0.12 (12%)
Low Delta: Decrease for safer, farther OTM strikes.
Default: 0.05 (5%)
Visualize the Chart:
Once inputs are updated:
Red Line: Aggressive Strike (closest, riskiest, higher premium).
Blue Line: Moderate Strike (mid-range).
Green Line: Low Delta Strike (farthest, safer).
Step-by-Step Workflow Example
Open the options chain and note:
Implied Volatility (IV Mid): Example 71.5% → input as 0.715.
Delta for desired strikes:
Aggressive: 0.30 Delta → Closest strike ~ $455.
Moderate: 0.15 Delta → Mid-range strike ~ $470.
Low Delta: 0.05 Delta → Farther strike ~ $505.
Open the indicator and adjust:
IV Mid: Enter 0.715.
Aggressive Delta: Leave at 0.12 (or adjust to bring strikes closer).
Moderate Delta: Leave at 0.18.
Low Delta: Adjust to 0.25 for safer, farther strikes.
View the chart:
Compare the indicator's strikes (red, blue, green) with actual options chain strikes.
Use the visualization to: Validate the risk/reward for each strike.
Align strikes with technical trends, support/resistance.
Adjusting Inputs Based on Risk Tolerance
Higher Risk: Increase Aggressive Delta (e.g., 0.15) for closer strikes.
Use higher IV values for volatile stocks.
Moderate Risk: Use default values (0.12–0.18 Delta).
Balance premiums and probability.
Lower Risk: Increase Low Delta (e.g., 0.30) for farther, safer strikes.
Focus on higher IV stocks with good open interest.
Key Benefits
Simplifies Strike Selection: Visualizes the three risk levels directly on the chart.
Aligns with Market Sentiment: Incorporates IV for realistic forecasts.
Customizable for Risk: Adjust inputs to match personal risk tolerance.
By combining the options chain (IV, Delta, and liquidity) with the technical chart, you get a powerful, visually intuitive tool for covered call strategies.
Market Structure V3Indicator Description:
The Market Structure indicator is a unique and innovative tool for identifying and visualizing key market structures based on dynamic swing highs and lows. This indicator stands apart from similar tools by utilizing a distinct methodology for updating levels and identifying trends, ensuring precision and flexibility in market analysis.
Key Features of Uniqueness:
1. No Fixed Lookback Periods for Extremum Detection:
- Unlike most indicators that rely on a predefined number of candles (lookback period) to determine highs or lows, this script dynamically updates levels based solely on price action.
- A new high (resistance) or low (support) is confirmed only when the closing price breaks above the previous high or below the previous low, representing the last significant extremums .
- This approach eliminates arbitrary lookback-based restrictions, allowing the indicator to adapt seamlessly to different market conditions and timeframes.
2. Dynamic Level Adjustments:
- Levels are recalculated and adjusted in real time as new price action unfolds, providing traders with highly accurate and relevant support and resistance levels.
- The upper and lower bounds serve as dynamic anchors for trend analysis, updating only when a confirmed breakout occurs.
3. Fractal and Trend-Driven Logic:
- The script inherently respects the fractal nature of price movements by focusing on confirmed breakouts of previous significant extremums , avoiding reliance on shorter-term noise.
- This makes the indicator particularly effective for identifying true trend reversals and continuations.
4. Visual Clarity and Structure Mapping:
- The indicator labels the following structural points directly on the chart:
- **Higher Highs (HH)** for uptrend confirmation.
- **Lower Highs (LH)** for potential trend weakening.
- **Lower Lows (LL)** for downtrend confirmation.
- **Higher Lows (HL)** for potential trend reversals.
- Levels and labels are updated dynamically and accurately reflect the market's structural evolution.
5. Clean and Noise-Free Analysis:
- The absence of arbitrary inputs (e.g., lookback periods) ensures the indicator focuses only on meaningful price action, reducing false signals.
- Works seamlessly across all instruments and timeframes without requiring constant parameter adjustments.
6. Highly Adaptable:
- Suitable for any financial market, including stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies.
- Performs equally well on all timeframes, from intraday to long-term analysis.
How the Indicator Works:
1. Dynamic Level Updates :
- The indicator evaluates price action in real time and identifies significant levels based on breakouts above previous highs or below previous lows.
- Upper Bound (Resistance) : Updated only when the closing price exceeds the previous significant high.
- Lower Bound (Support) : Updated only when the closing price falls below the previous significant low.
2. Trend Determination:
- Identifies and marks structural points (HH, LH, LL, HL) as trends develop.
- Swing points are updated dynamically without relying on fixed lookback parameters, ensuring that levels reflect the true market structure.
3. Confirmation Logic:
- The script uses a user-configurable parameter `Extremum confirmation bars count` to refine the process of confirming significant swing points.
- This ensures flexibility in adapting to different market conditions while maintaining precision in level detection.
Unique Advantages Over Similar Indicators:
1. No Arbitrary Inputs:
- Unlike other indicators that require users to set the number of candles for extremum detection, this script eliminates the need for such settings, relying solely on actual price breakouts.
2. Dynamic Real-Time Adjustments:
- The logic of level updates is event-driven (based on closing prices crossing key levels), making it more reactive and precise compared to static lookback-based calculations.
3. Enhanced Structural Clarity:
- Focuses exclusively on confirmed significant levels , avoiding clutter and ambiguity often seen in lookback-based indicators.
4. Fractal and Self-Adaptive Nature:
- The script inherently respects market fractality, making it effective across all timeframes and market conditions.
Practical Applications:
- Trend Identification:
Helps identify whether the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or consolidation phase.
- Entry and Exit Points:
Use swing highs and lows as references for entering or exiting positions.
- Support and Resistance Levels:
Dynamic levels provide actionable areas for placing stop-losses and take-profits.
Input Parameters:
- Extremum Confirmation Bars Count:
Adjusts the sensitivity of extremum detection. The higher the value, the more conservative the indicator becomes in confirming levels. Default is `3`.
Chart Setup and Usage Notes:
1. Clean Visualization:
- Ensure a clean chart for better visibility of structural points and levels.
- Do not overlay with additional indicators unless explicitly required.
2. User Guidance:
- Combine this indicator with volume analysis or other confirmation tools to enhance decision-making.

Weekly Covered Calls StrategyWhat Does This Indicator Do?
This indicator is a tool to help you pick strike prices for your weekly covered call options strategy. It does two things:
Plots two suggested strike prices on your chart:
Aggressive Strike (red label): A strike price closer to the current price, offering higher premiums but with a higher chance of assignment.
Moderate Strike (blue label): A strike price further from the current price, offering lower premiums but with a lower chance of assignment.
Uses technical analysis (volatility) to calculate these strike prices dynamically. It adjusts them based on the market's volatility and your chosen risk settings.
How It Works:
The indicator uses the following inputs to determine the strike prices:
ATR (Average True Range):
This measures the stock's volatility (how much the stock moves up or down over a given period).
A higher ATR = more volatile stock = wider range for strike prices.
Delta Adjustments:
The default settings use Delta values of 0.12 (Aggressive) and 0.18 (Moderate).
Delta is a concept in options trading that estimates the likelihood of the option being "in the money" (ITM) by expiration.
A 0.12 Delta = 12% chance of assignment (Aggressive)
A 0.18 Delta = 18% chance of assignment (Moderate)
Volatility Factor:
This multiplies the ATR by a factor (default is 1.5) to estimate the expected price move and adjust strike prices accordingly.
How to Use the Indicator:
Step 1: Understand the Labels
Red Label (Aggressive Strike):
Closer to the current stock price.
You’ll collect higher premiums because the strike price is riskier (closer to being ITM).
Best for traders comfortable with a higher risk of assignment.
Blue Label (Moderate Strike):
Further from the current stock price.
You’ll collect lower premiums because the strike price is safer (further from being ITM).
Best for traders looking to avoid assignment and collect safer weekly income.
Step 2: Match It to the Options Chain
Open your options chain (like the one you see in Fidelity, TOS, or TradingView).
Look for the strike prices closest to the red (aggressive) and blue (moderate) labels plotted by the indicator.
Compare the premiums (the amount you collect for selling the call) and decide:
If you want higher income: Go with the Aggressive Strike.
If you want safety: Go with the Moderate Strike.
Step 3: Manage Your Risk and Income
Avoid Assignment:
If you do not want your shares to be called away, choose strike prices further from the current price (e.g., moderate strike).
Maximize Premiums:
If you’re okay with a chance of your shares being called away, choose the closer aggressive strike for higher premium income.
Weekly Income Goal:
Use this strategy consistently each week to collect premium income while holding your shares.
Step 4: Adjust for Your Risk Tolerance
You can adjust the Delta values (0.12 for Aggressive and 0.18 for Moderate) to suit your risk tolerance:
Lower Delta (e.g., 0.08–0.10): Safer, fewer chances of assignment, lower premiums.
Higher Delta (e.g., 0.20–0.25): Riskier, higher chances of assignment, higher premiums.
Technical Analysis Summary (What the Indicator Uses):
The indicator uses ATR (Average True Range) to measure volatility and estimate how far the price might move.
It then multiplies ATR by a Volatility Factor to calculate the strike prices.
Using the Delta Adjustment settings, it adjusts these strike prices to give you a balance between risk and reward.
Putting It All Together:
Look at the Chart: The indicator will show two lines and labels for strike prices.
Check the Options Chain: Find the closest strike prices and compare premiums.
Decide Your Strategy:
Want higher premium income? Choose the Aggressive Strike (red label).
Want lower risk of assignment? Choose the Moderate Strike (blue label).
Collect Weekly Income: Sell the call option and repeat this process weekly to generate consistent income.
Happy trading, and may your premiums roll in while your shares stay safe! 🎯📊
Candle Open Time labels (& TAPDA Lines)Description of the "4-Hour Candle Opening Times (TAPDA Lines)" Indicator
The "4-Hour Candle Opening Times (TAPDA Lines)" indicator integrates key principles of the Time and Price Action Trading Algorithm (TAPTA) with practical tools for analyzing market behavior. This script is designed for traders who leverage the interaction between time and price to identify opportunities in the market.

Short Term Imbalance ContinuationShort Term Imbalance Continuation
This indicator identifies short-term trading opportunities based on imbalance situations followed by consolidation.
Functionality:
The indicator looks for a specific candle formation:
1. An imbalance candle where the low is above the high of the following candle (bearish) or the high is below the low of the following candle (bullish)
2. Followed by 1-2 inside candles (close within the range of the previous candle) in the same direction
Theory:
The formation is based on two important market mechanisms:
1. Imbalance and Momentum:
- The imbalance shows a strong move with one-sided orderflow dominance
- Inside candles in the same direction confirm that the opposing side cannot take control
2. Consolidation Behavior:
- Inside candles are a classic consolidation pattern
- They show that the market is "digesting" the previous strong movement
- Consolidation within the range indicates controlled accumulation/distribution
- Particularly relevant when large market participants are building or expanding positions
- Consolidation at higher/lower levels confirms the dominance of the trend direction
Settings:
- Choice between one or two inside candles for different consolidation phases
- Option whether both inside candles must have the same direction
- Customizable colors for bullish and bearish signals
Application:
The indicator is particularly suitable for:
- Trend confirmation after strong movements
- Entry into pullbacks during trends
- Identification of continuation setups after consolidations
- Detection of accumulation/distribution phases of large market participants
Notes:
- Best used in combination with higher timeframe trend
- Particularly meaningful at important price zones
- Consolidation phases can indicate institutional interest
- The length of consolidation (one vs. two inside candles) can indicate different accumulation phases
Long Position with 1:3 Risk Reward and 20EMA CrossoverThe provided Pine Script code implements a strategy to identify long entry signals based on a 20-EMA crossover on a 5-minute timeframe. Once a buy signal is triggered, it calculates and plots the following:
Entry Price: The price at which the buy signal is generated.
Stop Loss: The low of the previous candle, acting as a risk management tool.
Take Profit: The price level calculated based on a 1:3 risk-reward ratio.
Key Points:
Buy Signal: A buy signal is generated when the current 5-minute candle closes above the 20-EMA.
Risk Management: The stop-loss is set below the entry candle to limit potential losses.
Profit Target: The take-profit is calculated based on a 1:3 risk-reward ratio, aiming for a potential profit three times the size of the risk.
Visualization: The script plots the entry price, stop-loss, and take-profit levels on the chart for visual clarity.
Remember:
Backtesting: It's crucial to backtest this strategy on historical data to evaluate its performance and optimize parameters.
Risk Management: Always use appropriate risk management techniques, such as stop-loss orders and position sizing, to protect your capital.
Market Conditions: Market conditions can change, and strategies that worked in the past may not perform as well in the future. Continuously monitor and adapt your strategy.
By understanding the core components of this script and applying sound risk management principles, you can effectively use it to identify potential long entry opportunities in the market.
Correlated Imbalance Detector# Correlated Imbalance Detector
This indicator helps traders identify strong market movements while avoiding fakeouts by detecting correlated imbalances across two trading instruments. By requiring confirmation from correlated markets like major indices (ES, NQ) or related forex pairs, it filters out potential false signals.
## What it Does
The indicator analyzes price action patterns known as 'imbalances' on two correlated instruments simultaneously. An imbalance occurs when there's a significant gap between price levels that hasn't been filled, indicating strong buying or selling pressure. By requiring both instruments to show the same pattern, it helps eliminate false breakouts and fakeouts.
### Key Features:
- Detects bullish and bearish imbalances across two correlated instruments
- Filters out fakeouts through correlation confirmation
- Uses candlestick direction for additional validation
- Simple visual signals with customizable colors
### Signals:
- Green square: Bullish imbalance detected on both instruments
- Red square: Bearish imbalance detected on both instruments
## Avoiding Fakeouts
The indicator's core strength lies in its correlation requirement:
- A signal only appears when both instruments show the same pattern
- Reduces false signals that might appear on a single instrument
- Helps validate genuine market moves through correlation
- Particularly effective in filtering out noise in choppy markets
## Index Correlation and Bias
Major indices often show strong correlation in their movements:
- ES (S&P 500 futures) and NQ (Nasdaq futures) typically move together
- When both show the same imbalance pattern, it significantly reduces the chance of a fakeout
- Use this correlation to confirm your market bias and strengthen your trading decisions
## Settings
- Correlated Symbol: Enter the symbol you want to correlate with
- Bearish Color: Customize the color for bearish signals
- Bullish Color: Customize the color for bullish signals
## Usage Tips
1. Particularly effective with correlated indices (ES/NQ)
2. Use to confirm your existing market bias
3. Best used on higher timeframes (H1 and above)
4. Wait for confirmation from both instruments to avoid fakeouts
5. Consider overall market context when interpreting signals
6. Use the absence of correlation as a warning sign for potential fakeouts
Note: This indicator is designed to help filter out false signals through correlation. It works best as part of your broader market analysis and should align with your trading bias and strategy.

Yes! You can choose from the available Sell Rules (Ascender Rule, Midterm Rule, 40 Week Rule, Everest Rule) via an input option in the script. Each strategy has its own unique triggers based on price action, moving averages, and time-based conditions.
Q5: Does this script work for stocks and crypto?
Yes, this script is designed for both stocks and cryptocurrencies. It works on any asset where price data and timeframes are available.
Q6: How do the Weekly Moving Averages (WSMA) work in this strategy?
The script uses weekly moving averages (WSMA) to track longer-term trends. These are essential for some of the sell rules, such as the Midterm Rule and 40 Week Rule, which rely on the stock's movement relative to the 40-week moving average.
Q7: Will the script plot a Sell Signal immediately after the Buy Date?
No, sell signals will only be plotted after the Buy Date. This ensures that the sell strategy is relevant to your actual holding period and avoids premature triggers.
Q8: How do I interpret the Sell Signal?
The script will plot a Red Sell Signal above the bar when the sell conditions are met, based on the selected strategy. This indicates that it may be a good time to exit the position according to your chosen rule.
Q9: Can I use this strategy on different timeframes?
Yes, you can apply the script to any timeframe. However, some sell strategies, like the Midterm Rule and 40 Week Rule, are designed to work best with weekly data, so it's recommended to use these strategies with longer timeframes.
Q10: Does this script have any alerts?
Yes! The script supports alert conditions that will notify you when the sell conditions are met according to your selected rule. You can set up alerts to stay informed without needing to watch the chart constantly.
Q11: What if I want to disable some of the sell rules?
You can select your preferred sell rule using the "Select Sell Rule" dropdown. If you don’t want to use a particular rule, simply choose a different strategy or leave it inactive.

MCP Stop Strategy [JARUTIR]The MCP Stop Strategy is a trading tool designed to help traders lock in profits and manage risks. It is based on the concept of setting a MCP (Mental Capacity Preservation) Stop explained in the book "The Lifecycle Trade". I call it Maximum Controllable Profit Stop which helps protect profits once a stock or asset reaches a new peak. The MCP Stop is dynamically calculated based on the Buy Price and the All Time High Price (Peak Price), and is adjusted using a customizable percentage (MCP%) to retain a portion of the gains from the peak price during a drawdown.
Key Features :
MCP Stop Calculation: The script calculates the MCP Stop as:
MCP Stop = Buy Price + (Peak Price - Buy Price) x MCP%
This helps you protect a portion of your gains (defined by MCP%) as the price moves in your favor.
Flexible Buy Date Option:
You can either manually input a Buy Date or let the script automatically detect the Buy Date when the price first meets or exceeds the user-defined Buy Price.
After the Buy Date, the MCP Stop, Buy Price, and Peak Price are plotted on the chart for easy visualization.
Customizable Parameters:
Buy Price: The price at which the asset was bought.
MCP Percentage: The percentage of profit from the peak that you want to retain in case of a drawdown.
Lookback Length: The number of bars to consider when calculating the Peak Price (All Time High).
How to Use the Script :
Set the Buy Price: Enter the price at which you bought the asset.
Set the MCP%: Enter the percentage of profits you want to protect from the peak. For example, if you want to retain 10% of the gain from the peak, set this to 10.
Choose the Buy Date Method:
Automated Buy Date: The script will automatically detect the first bar where the price meets or exceeds the Buy Price.
Manual Buy Date: If you prefer to specify a particular Buy Date, input the desired date and time.
View the MCP Stop and Peak Price: After the Buy Date (either manually or automatically detected), the MCP Stop, Buy Price, and Peak Price will be plotted on the chart.
Monitor the MCP Stop Trigger: The script will alert you when the price falls below the MCP Stop, indicating a potential exit point to protect profits.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
1. What is the MCP Stop?
The MCP Stop is a dynamic stop-loss level that adjusts based on your Buy Price and the All Time High Price (Peak Price). It protects a portion of your gains from the peak, which is defined by the MCP%. For example, if you set the MCP% to 10%, the script will retain 10% of the gains from the peak and use this as a stop-loss.
2. How does the Buy Date work?
The Buy Date is the date when you entered the position:
If you choose Automated Buy Date, the script will automatically set the Buy Date to the first bar when the price meets or exceeds the Buy Price.
If you choose Manual Buy Date, you can specify a particular date and time when you want the strategy to start calculating and plotting the MCP Stop and Peak Price.
3. What happens if the price falls below the MCP Stop?
If the price drops below the MCP Stop, the script will mark this as a potential exit point, helping you protect profits. A visual alert (MCP STOP) will be shown on the chart when the price reaches or falls below the MCP Stop.
4. Can I adjust the Lookback Length for Peak Price?
Yes, you can customize the Lookback Length (the number of bars the script considers when calculating the Peak Price) by entering a value in the input field. By default, it is set to 1000 bars, which represents a few months of historical data, but you can increase or decrease this based on your trading strategy.
5. Why would I want to use the automated Buy Date?
The Automated Buy Date is useful for traders who want the script to automatically track the Buy Date when the price first reaches or exceeds the Buy Price. This is helpful when you're unsure of the exact entry date but know the price at which you bought the asset. It simplifies the process by eliminating the need for manual input.
6. Can I use this strategy for long and short positions?
The current version of this script is designed for long positions, where you buy an asset and want to protect your profits as the price increases. If you're interested in applying it to short positions, you would need to adjust the logic accordingly (e.g., tracking the lowest price instead of the peak price).
7. Can I modify the script to fit my trading strategy?
Yes, this script is highly customizable. You can adjust parameters such as Buy Price, MCP%, and Lookback Length to suit your specific trading style. You can also tweak the visual appearance of the plotted lines and alerts.

Drawdown from All-Time High (Line)This Pine Script is a **Drawdown Indicator from All-Time High** for TradingView. It calculates and plots the percentage drawdown from the highest price the asset has ever reached (the all-time high). Here's a breakdown of what this script does:
### Description:
- **Drawdown Calculation**:
- The drawdown is calculated as the difference between the current price (`close`) and the all-time high, divided by the all-time high, and multiplied by 100 to express it as a percentage.
- If the current price is higher than the previous all-time high, the all-time high is updated to the current price.
- **All-Time High Tracking**:
- The script tracks the highest price (`allTimeHigh`) that the asset has ever reached. Each time a new high is reached, the `allTimeHigh` value is updated.
- **Line Plot**:
- The drawdown percentage is then plotted as a line on the chart, with a color of **blue** for easy visualization.
- The line shows how much the price has dropped relative to its all-time high.
- **Zero Line**:
- A horizontal line is added at the **0%** level to act as a reference point, which is helpful to identify when the asset has fully recovered to its all-time high.
### Key Features:
- **Track Drawdown**: The indicator helps visualize how far the current price has fallen from its highest point, which is useful for understanding the depth of losses (drawdowns) during a period.
- **Update All-Time High**: The indicator automatically updates the all-time high whenever a new high is detected.
- **Visual Reference**: The 0% horizontal line provides a clear indication of when the asset is at its all-time high, and the drawdown is at 0%.
### How it Works:
- If the current price surpasses the all-time high, the script will reset the all-time high to the new price.
- The drawdown percentage is calculated from the current price relative to this all-time high, and it is displayed as a line on the chart.
### Visuals:
- **Drawdown Line**: Plots the percentage of the drawdown, which is the drop from the all-time high.
- **Zero Line**: A dotted horizontal line at 0% marks the level of the all-time high.
This indicator is valuable for understanding the extent of price corrections and potential recoveries relative to the historical peak of the asset. It is especially useful for traders and investors who want to assess the risk of drawdowns in relation to the highest price achieved by the asset.

Liquidity IndicatorThe Liquidity Indicator helps identify key price levels where liquidity may be concentrated by highlighting local highs and local lows on the chart. These levels are calculated using a lookback period to determine the highest and lowest points in the recent price action.
Local Highs: Displayed as red lines, these indicate recent peaks where price has experienced rejection or a possible reversal point.
Local Lows: Displayed as green lines, these represent recent troughs where price may find support or experience a bounce.
This indicator is useful for spotting potential areas of interest for price reversal or continuation, as high liquidity zones may lead to more significant price movements.
Key Features:
Adjustable lookback period to define the scope for identifying local highs and lows.
Continuous plotting without any time restrictions, providing real-time insights into liquidity conditions.
Alerts available for when a local high or local low is detected, enabling timely market analysis.
Use Case:
This indicator can be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools or strategies to help identify significant price levels where liquidity could impact price action. It is suitable for both intraday and swing traders looking for key price zones where potential reversals or continuations might occur.
Engulfing Candle IndicatorThis indicator helps identify Bullish and Bearish Engulfing candle patterns on your chart.
Bullish Engulfing: Occurs when a green candle completely engulfs the prior red candle, signaling potential upward momentum.
Bearish Engulfing: Occurs when a red candle completely engulfs the prior green candle, signaling potential downward momentum.
The script highlights these patterns with green triangles below the bars for Bullish Engulfing and red triangles above the bars for Bearish Engulfing.
This tool is helpful for traders who use candlestick patterns as part of their technical analysis strategy.
Liquidity + Engulfment StrategyThis strategy identifies potential trading opportunities by combining bullish and bearish engulfing candle patterns with liquidity seal-off points. The logic is based on the concept of engulfing candles, which signal a shift in market sentiment, and liquidity lines, which represent local price extremes (highs and lows) that can indicate potential reversal or continuation points.
Key Features:
Mode Selection
The strategy allows for three modes: "Both", "Bullish Only", and "Bearish Only". Users can choose whether to trade both directions, only bullish setups, or only bearish setups.
Time Range
Users can define a specific time range for when the strategy is active, enabling tailored analysis and trade execution over a desired period.
Engulfing Candles
Bullish Engulfing: A candle that closes above the high of the previous bearish candle, signaling potential upward momentum.
Bearish Engulfing: A candle that closes below the low of the previous bullish candle, indicating a potential downtrend.
Liquidity Seal-Off Points
The strategy detects local highs and local lows within a specified lookback period, which can serve as critical support and resistance points.
A bullish signal is triggered when the price touches a lower liquidity point (local low), and a bearish signal is triggered at a higher liquidity point (local high).
Signal Confirmation
Signals are only triggered when both an engulfing candle and the price action at a liquidity seal-off point align. This helps filter out weaker signals.
Consecutive signals are prevented by locking the trade direction after an initial signal and waiting for the liquidity line to be broken before re-triggering a signal.
Entry and Exit Conditions
The strategy can enter both long (bullish) or short (bearish) positions based on the mode and signals.
Exit is based on opposing signals or reaching predefined stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Alerts
The strategy supports alert conditions to notify users when bullish engulfing after a lower liquidity touch or bearish engulfing after an upper liquidity touch is detected.
