Distance from Vwap// How it Works \\
Measuring the distance of the close price from a higher timeframe VWAP - Volume Weighted Average Price
There is a threshold which is calculated by looking back at the previous x amount of bars and storing the highest/lowest values
If the distance from the vwap stretches above that threshold, the histogram will go green if price is above VWAP and red if its below the vwap
If the distance from the vwap reaches below the low threshold you will see the histogram flashes orange
// Settings \\
In the settings you have the ability to change what timeframe the indicator is calculated on, as well as this you can change the timeframe the VWAP is calculated on.
I always recommend using a higher timeframe vwap as they tend to me more respected
e.g on the hourly timeframe, I use the weekly VWAP, on 1 minute timeframe you may want to use 4 hour timeframe but obviously feel free to experiment
// Use Case \\
When histogram is flashing green, prices is pulling far away from the vwap, obviously you don't want to be buying a falling knife but if you have levels of confluence this can help spot reversals.
I personally wait until the first candle after its been green to get confirmation of the fall weakening. Vica versa for reds and shorts/sells.
When you see orange flashes, this shows that price has been consolidating and the price is very close to the higher time frame VWAP which could be considered a safe entry point as they tend to lead to a big move to follow
// Suggestions \\
Happy for anyone to make any suggestions on changes which could improve the script,
// Terms \\
Feel free to use the script, If you do use the script could you please just tag me as I am interested to see how people are using it. Good Luck!
Consolidation
Accumulation_&_Distribution_Aka_ConsolidationZone - BasicDear Traders,
It so happens to the traders that once in their lifetime journey they be sure to here the below statement.
1. I got struck in the consolidation zone
2. Signals from technical indicators failed because prices were consolidating.
3. Its pretty tuff to detect consolidation zone. (programmatically)
I don't know about other but I have heard this throughout my trading journey. Hence I started to debug the above 3 statements and came up with this indicator which detects consolidation zones in the chart.
there are 3 inputs settings
1. ATR multiplier = can be used to filter the consolidation box height. higher the value bigger the box (vertical view) and smaller the value smaller the box height.
2. Show Last No of Zones = set the No of previous zones you would like to see.
3. Consolidation Size = If set to small. all kind of sizes will be plotted ( majorly works for day trading) if set to wide, script looks for major consolidation zones (majorly works for higher timeframes). if set to medium, script looks medium size to wide size zones majorly for timeframe with more than 30 min.
What's this indicator is taking into account?
1. Moving Averages
2. Linear Regression curves
3. ATR
4. BB
5. BBW
6. Couple of Math calculation to support the zone identification.
Note: Plz do suggest for any kind of improvements or feedbacks.

Consolidation Zone Hunter NPR BasedThis script will search for zones where the range between the high and low is lower than avg % nearest rank of last X bars.
After X(=30) bars of consolidating range it will signal that the market is in a range and draw the top, bottom and middle of that range.
When price breaks the consolidating range the range is cleared, this is where you long/short the breakout. After this it will look for the next range and do the same.
Visual Explanation
Ex's DMI DivergenceThis indicator I am posting open for everyone to see and use.
This is a modified DMI indicator, It has a DMI+ and DMI- and a 3rd line that is the average divergance/convergance of the two.
This indicator is used to recognize periods of consolidation, directional strength and retracements/reversal
There are some key things to watch for:
-When the Div/Conv line is yellow it means that the DMI+/- average distance is moving closer together(converging)
-When the Div/Conv line is aqua it means that the DMI+/- average distance is moving further apart(diverging)
-One DMI must be below the top threshold and other DMI must be below at least the Top threshold(or bottom if you prefer) to be considered valid
Signs of condolidation/possible reversal/weak strength:
-When the DMI+/- are crossing at any location stay mindful of entries
-If both DMI's are above the threshold there is no clear direction
-When the DMI Div/Conv is yellow it means trend is slowing down and aqua means it is picking up
Price Action: Inside Bar BoxesThis script automatically draws rectangles around bars inside IB pattern.
Note :: because Pinescript does not allow changes to already drawn charts on historical bars, checkbox "show only last box" doesn't work for arrows
Three Week Tight Pattern IndicatorThree Week Tight Pattern is a consolidation indicator which give extra buy point on strong fundamental stocks. You can read about it from IBD here: www.investors.com
Support and Resistance V1 This script is based on Range Support and Resistance .
It works by taking the range of the day,week and month calculating them and plotting 3 layers of Support and Resistance , as soon as it gets non directional /range bound , bar color turns GRAY if its in Bullish Trend and Pink if its in Bearish Trend .. As soon as bar turns Aqua it defines BULLISH Trend and RED bar color defines Bearish Trend . This way you can easily visualize the areas of support and resistance .

Trend Type Indicator by BobRivera990Usage:
The purpose of this indicator is to programmatically determine the type of price trend using technical analysis tools.
You can do a quick check on the asset’s higher and lower time frames. For example, if you are trading on an H1 chart, you can check the m5 chart to ensure that the trend is in the same direction and similarly check the H4 chart to ensure that the higher time frame price is also moving in the same direction.
If multiple time frame charts confirm a similar trend, then it is considered a very strong trend and ideal for Trend trading.
Remarks:
By default, the last status is related to 8 periods before the latest closing price.
Related definitions:
The three basic types of trends are up, down, and sideways.
1. Uptrend
An uptrend describes the price movement of a financial asset when the overall direction is upward. The uptrend is composed of higher swing lows and higher swing highs.
Some market participants ("long" trend traders) only choose to trade during uptrends.
2. Downtrend
A downtrend refers to the price action of a security that moves lower in price as it fluctuates over time.
The downtrend is composed of lower swing lows and lower swing highs.
3. Sideways
A sideways trend is the horizontal price movement that occurs when the forces of supply and demand are nearly equal. This typically occurs during a period of consolidation before the price continues a prior trend or reverses into a new trend.
How it works:
Step 1: Sideways Trend Detection
In this step we want to distinguish the sideways trend from uptrend and downtrend. For this purpose, we use two common technical analysis tools: ATR and ADX
1. Average True Range (ATR)
The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator that measures market volatility.
We also use a 20-period moving average of the ATR.
When the ATR is below the average of its last 20-periods, it means that the rate of price volatility has decreased and we conclude that the current trend is sideways
2. Average Directional Index (ADX)
The average directional index (ADX) is a technical analysis indicator used by some traders to determine the strength of a trend.
The trend has strength when ADX is above 25.
So when the ADX is less than or equal to 25, there is no strong trend, and we conclude that the current type of trend is sideways.
Step 2: Detect uptrend from downtrend
If it turns out that the current price trend is not sideways, then it is either uptrend or downtrend.
For this purpose, we use plus and minus directional Indicators (+ DI & -DI).
A general interpretation would be that during a strong trend, when +DI is higher than -DI, it is an uptrend. When -DI is higher than +DI, it is a downtrend.
Parameters:
"Use ATR …" ________________________// Use Average True Range (ATR) to detect Sideways Movements
"ATR Length"_______________________ // length of the Average True Range (ATR) used to detect Sideways Movements
"ATR Moving Average Type" ___________// Type of the moving average of the ATR used to detect Sideways Movements
"ATR MA Length" ____________________// length of the moving average of the ATR used to detect Sideways Movements
"Use ADX ..."_______________________ // Use Average Directional Index (ADX) to detect Sideways Movements
"ADX Smoothing”____________________// length of the Average Directional Index (ADX) used to detect Sideways Movements
"DI Length"_________________________// length of the Plus and Minus Directional Indicators (+DI & -DI) used to determine the direction of the trend
"ADX Limit" ________________________// A level of ADX used as the boundary between Trend Market and Sideways Market
"Smoothing Factor"__________________// Factor used for smoothing the oscillator
"Lag"______________________________// lag used to match indicator and chart

Combo Breaker DetectionA method I'm playing with to detect liquidity grabs and breaks from consolidation.
OG Take OffThis indicator is put in place to help you identify the 3 market phases.
Consolidation can be indicated by either dots or color coded candlesticks . You can use both. Consolidation zones are represented by the dotted lines.
A green arrow indicates a buy signal. A red arrow indicates a sell signal.
Theme allows you to change the color of the background to whatever you like.
To change the color of the moving average, you must uncheck "Modern Theme Trend MA Color" under 'Style'.
When price is above 50 moving average on the higher timeframe and the color of the candle is green on the higher time frame, you are in a long market. When price is below the 50 moving average and the color of the candle is red on the higher timeframe, you are in a short market.
Trend puts a trend cloud on the chart. When green and above the 50 moving average, you can assume the market is long. Look for buys on the smaller time frame. When red and below the 50 moving average, you can assume the market is short on the smaller time frame. You can also draw an average price line through the middle of the consolidation box to tell you the directional bias.
The moving average is set to 50 by default but can be changed. You can also add 2 more moving averages to the chart. (Options: SMA , EMA , SWMA , WMA , VWMA , HMA )
Consolidation on the inputs page allows you to see when the market is consolidating with dots and color change of the candlesticks . Opacity of the dots can be changed under 'Style' (Upper Band Dots/Lower Band Dots) You can assume when the dots are below the candlestick , price is buying; when the dots ae above the candlesticks , price is selling.
't' and 'b' represent tops and bottoms and can help you recognize finding the top and bottom on the daily when doing top down analysis. It can also help you recognize double tops, double bottoms, triple tops, etc.
This indicator is best used on the 1 hr or 4 hr time frame. If you zoom out on the chart, you can notice when the market is consolidating, when the market is in expansion phase, and when the market is trending. When the market is in expansion phase, you may see a lot of 'swing low/swing high' action. When the market is trending, it takes off and doesn't look back.
If you enter on the 5 min and ride the 1 hr trend, that is a great idea. If you enter on the 15 min and ride the 4 hr trend, that is an even better idea.
The TP levels can be changed according to your risk reward ratio.
Confirmation (Expo)
Confirmation (Expo) is a trading confirmation tool that can confirm any indicator, trend, setup, signal, or strategy. Once you have chosen the input source (any indicator) you can use the tool to confirm the trend, trend strength, overbought/oversold areas, retracements, and reversals. This tool is built for traders that already have a strategy or preferred indicator that they want to confirm. As a default, the indicator oscillates between overbought (or strong positive trend)/oversold (or strong negative trend). However, depending on the settings and input source many different layouts can occur.

PHInkTrade Price FinderHello there, fellow trader!
Welcome to Price Finder indicator for TradingView page.
Please join me as I present you an overview about it.
Before we begin, a few quick notes:
Availability information is presented at the last section of this content. Please check it out to know how to get access.
In addition to this description, there is also an overview video available. Please refer to the last section on this content as well.
With time, some of the functionality described below may change. Please refer to Release Notes for most up-to-date information.
Ok now, let's get started!
What is Price Finder?
Price Finder is a technical analysis indicator (aka "Indi" ), built on a mathematical foundation which recognizes price's fractal, multi-layered nature -- a key aspect, related to the multiple time-frames process different size traders use to make their decisions.
The objective of the indicator, naturally, is to help identify high probability opportunities for successful trades , especially those which can provide a good return : risk ratio (greater than 3:1). This is very important to foster sustainable equity growth over time .
In order to do that, it helps identify new positions of previously successful support and resistance levels , out of both its multi time-frame mathematical approach, and empirical evidence. By mapping these, indicator provides a good way to anticipate next levels with high success probability, as well as to validate or invalidate expectations in relation to what price is more likely to do next.
Last, but not least, it also helps identify price state , in terms of trend and consolidation . Meaning that, if price is trending, we can expect it to go farther -- either higher or lower --, in a more consistent way. Or, if it is consolidating, we can expect it to remain trading inside a range.
Combined, these aspects help you develop an enhanced view of the market , and a better edge for your trades.
Feedbacks from beta phase
Before diving into more details, i'd like to let you know that, besides internal tests, the indicator has gone through a public beta testing phase , having received quite nice feedback from participants . You can find more information about it in the overview video, as mentioned above.
How it works?
As seen on chart below, indicator is composed of:
a Trend Band
two Expansion Threshold Bands and
Bar colors .
Let's get through each of these.
Trend Band
The Trend Band is the one which runs around the middle of the indicator, and helps you assess if you should be leaning bullish or bearish, locally -- considering the time frame you are looking at. Its inflection points , also known as death crosses and golden crosses, are important events to anticipate -- and pay attention to when they happen. There's also a middle line , which helps you evaluate if price is leaning towards crossing the band to the other side.
The following chart shows some examples* of how lines can help identify potential places to have new trades.
* More information about specific trading approaches is available through complementary materials.
So, Trend Band helps us adjust our bias towards a direction. But how far can we expect price to go?
To help answer this question, the indicator also provides two other bands. Let's talk about them, next.
Expansion Threshold Bands
The Expansion Threshold Bands are the ones usually surrounding price (not always, as you'll notice). They are called the Upper Expansion Threshold Band and the Lower Expansion Threshold Band . Their purpose is to help identify potential limits , or places where price is more likely to face a contrarian force , and will probably have to decide whether to continue in the same direction, or to pull back -- end eventually revert.
On the following chart we have an example (Bitcoin, 15 minutes time-frame). It was retracing locally, but once it hit the corresponding Lower Expansion Threshold, it found strong support, making it pull back, and look to test upper structures, next . In fact, as can be seen, this support was tested and respected three times on this chart. Conversely, the Upper Expansion Threshold Band, resistance, was tested and broken twice -- an effect, and validation, of the overall uptrend Bitcoin was in.
Broken Expansion Threshold Bands
Indicator also helps adjust expectations when price breaks an Expansion Threshold . As an example, on the following chart, we see Bitcoin breaking the 15 mins lower band, after having respected it multiple times during the rise. The result was a significant correction.
So, when price breaks an Expansion Threshold Band of a particular time-frame, we can expect it to expand in that same direction for a while. In other words, we can expect it to trend in that direction, until it finds a larger time-frame Expansion Threshold which can hold it.
To help with this aspect, here enters indicator's distinctive multiple time-frame overlays functionality .
Multiple time-frame overlays
Multiple time-frames is a very important aspect to understand and consider when dealing with an asset's price, as different size traders make decisions based on each of them -- and, naturally, this requires us to deal with the combined results of all such decisions.
On the chart below, (again, Bitcoin 15 minutes time-frame), standard indicator deployment is showing where supports are for some of the lows. But there are moments when price stop "mid-air". Why is it so?
Well, this happens due to the influence of another time-frame structure (in this case, a smaller one). To identify which structures are working, it is possible to apply the indicator one or more times to the chart, and perform an empirical research . In this case, bounces were caused by the 10 minute lower threshold band, approximately.
This feature allows you to see, on a single chart, multiple time-frame structures working at once -- which, besides bringing greater clearness, can also help you save time, by skipping the handling of multiple charts.
Note : TradingView recommends using a lower time-frame chart and deploying a higher time-frame overlay. However, within a good margin, the reverse practice has proven itself to work for Price Finder, as indicator's approach is evidence-based. So, whichever smaller time-frame overlay which shows itself as working, even though on a higher time-frame chart, should continue to do so, as calculations remain proportional.
Another example below, now showing 5 minutes working as support multiple times too (besides 10 and 15).
So, by researching which supports and resistances are being repeatedly respected, out of price's multi time-frame / multi layered reality, and finding their current price levels -- both through the means of the indicator --, it is possible to anticipate high probability places for successful trades -- either in favor of the structure, if you believe in a stop-and-reverse move, or against it, if structure gets broken and allows price to start expanding / trending. Always based on both a mathematical foundation, and an empirical observation (evidence / confirmation).
Bar colors
As an additional information to help you understand if price is trending (or starting to develop trend intentions), or if it is consolidating , the indicator provides bar color schemes.
By default, it uses dark green and dark red colors for initial developments of bullish and bearish trends , bright green and bright red colors for developed, stronger trends , and orange for consolidations . Knowing such states help you build more confidence in the movement -- or not.
Color-blind friendly setting
Colors-wise, indicator also offers the possibility to use a second scheme, more friendly to color-blind users. You can change color scheme on settings panel.
Other settings
There are other ways to customize the presentation of the indicator , especially regarding multiple time-frame overlays , as we saw, but also to help you manage and reduce chart clutter , for example, in terms of number of lines being plotted.
It's possible to decide to just plot backgrounds, or some part of the structure, or avoid painting bars, etc.
Sample chart settings, explained
What you see on the chart above:
3 deployments of Price Finder, one for each of the following time frames: 1 hour ('Chart' time-frame), 15 and 4 minutes.
Custom settings:
1 hour: Upper and lower expansion threshold bands plotted in full. Trend band hidden;
15 minutes: Trend band hidden, expansion thresholds with just backgrounds (for better visibility);
4 minutes: likewise.
Price Finder working with other assets
Here are some other examples of the indicator, now working with other assets.
Time-frames used to 'calibrate' readings were observed from previous evidence on the same charts.
Ethereum / US Dollar, 4 hour chart, with 100, 50 and 25 minutes overlays.
S&P 500, 1 hour chart, with 30, 15 and 5 minutes overlays.
Dow Jones Industrial Average, also 1 hour chart, with 4 hours, 15 and 5 minutes overlays.
Gold / US Dollar, 1D chart, with 600 minutes, 4 hours, 140 and 80 minutes overlays.
Euro / US Dollar, 4 days chart, with 1 day, 700 minutes and 4 hours overlays.

Consolidation and Breakout detectorExperimental : This script identifies the consolidation of a stock for selected time period. The consolidation period and range can be configured. 2 levels of consolidation levels can be selected. i.e Strong and medium. The range for strong and medium level of consolidation can also be configured by the user.
A movement in the direction of breakout of the consolidation level is observed most of the times. I have also added reversal line/stoploss line, so that the breakout movement is cancelled once that line is crossed by the candle close.
Currently consolidation levels are configured for 5 minute chart NSE:BANKNIFTY OANDA:NAS100USD . Can be reconfigured easily for any timeframe.
Dual SuperTrend, Ichimoku and DMI Color Weighted by DGTThis study interprets SuperTrend with Ichimoku Cloud, one of the popular technical analysis indicator, and interprets Directional Movement (DMI), which is another quite valuable technical analysis indicator.
Then combines the interpreted SuperTrend with interpreted Directional Movement (DMI) and Volume Based Colored Bars indicator created by Kıvaç ÖZBİLGİÇ (permission has been granted from the author)
Here are details of the concept applied
1- SuperTrend Line colored based on Ichimoku Cloud
Definition
The Ichimoku Cloud, developed by Goichi Hosoda and published in the late 1960s, is a collection of technical indicators that give it a unique capacity to show support and resistance levels, momentum and trend direction
What Does the Ichimoku Cloud Tells?
The overall trend is up when price is above the cloud, known as Kumo Cloud, down when price is below the Kumo Cloud, and trendless or transitioning when price is in the Kumo Cloud
When Senkou Span A (Leading Span A) is rising and above Senkou Span B (Leading Span B), this helps confirm the uptrend and space between the lines is typically colored green. When Senkou Span A is falling and below Senkou Span B, this helps confirm the downtrend. The space between the lines is typically colored red
Traders often use the Kumo Cloud as an area of support and resistance depending on the relative location of the price. The Kumo Cloud provides support/resistance levels that can be projected into the future. This sets the Ichimoku Cloud apart from many other technical indicators that only provide support and resistance levels for the current date and time
Crossovers, also known as TK Cross among Ichimoku Cloud traders, are another way the indicator can be used. Watch for the Tenkan-Sen Line, or Conversion Line, to move above the Kijun-Sen Line, or Base Line, especially when price is above the Kumo cloud. This can be a powerful buy signal. One option is to hold the trade until the Tenkan-Sen drops back below the Kijun-Sen Line. Any of the other lines could be used as exit points as well.
With this study:
Allow Traders to use the Ichimoku Cloud in conjunction with other technical indicators to maximize their risk-adjusted returns
The Ichimoku Cloud can make a chart look busy with all the lines. To Remedy this a different approach is applied in this study showing the Price and the Kumo Cloud relation as well as TK Crosses displayed. The SuperTrend Indicator is chosen to display Ichimoku Indicator, where the SuperTrend is another trend following indicator.
How it works:
SuperTrend Line is colored as:
Green when the Price is above the Kumo Cloud
Red when the Price is below the Kumo Cloud
Black when the Price is within the Kumo Cloud
And Finally Blue when the Kumo Cloud Is not ready to be drawn or not Kumo Cloud available
Additionally intensity of the colors used in all cases above are defined by values of Tenkan-Sen and Kijun-Sen Line, which allows us to detect TK Crosses
2- Plots Colored Directional Movement Line
Definition
Directional Movement (DMI) (created by J. Welles Wilder ) is actually a collection of three separate indicators combined into one. Directional Movement consists of the Average Directional Index (ADX) , Plus Directional Indicator (+D I) and Minus Directional Indicator (-D I) . ADX's purposes is to define whether or not there is a trend present. It does not take direction into account at all. The other two indicators (+DI and -DI) are used to compliment the ADX. They serve the purpose of determining trend direction. By combining all three, a technical analyst has a way of determining and measuring a trend's strength as well as its direction.
This study combines all three lines in a single colored shapes series plotted on the top of the price chart indicating the trend strength with different colors and its direction with triangle up and down shapes.
What to look for
Trend Strength : Analyzing trend strength is the most basic use for the DMI. Wilder believed that a DMI reading above 25 indicated a strong trend, while a reading below 20 indicated a weak or non-existent trend
Crosses : DI Crossovers are the significant trading signal generated by the DMI
With this study
A Strong Trend is assumed when ADX >= 25
Bullish Trend is defined as (+D I > -DI ) and (ADX >= 25), which is plotted as green triangle up shape on top of the price chart
Bearish Trend is defined as (+D I < -DI ) and (ADX >= 25), which is plotted as red triangle down shape on top of the price chart
Week Trend is assumed when 17< ADX < 25, which is plotted as black triangles up or down shape, depending on +DI-DI values, on top of the price chart
Non-Existent Trend is assumed when ADX < 17, which is plotted as yellow triangles up or down shape, depending on +DI-DI values, on top of the price chart
Additionally intensity of the colors used in all cases above are defined by comparing ADX’s current value with its previous value
3- Volume Based Colored Bars indicator created by Kıvaç ÖZBİLGİÇ
Volume Based Colored Bars colors the bars into volume weighted signals increasing the visibility of the Volume changes. Intensity of the colors of the bars varies according to average value of the volume for given length of bars (default value set to 30 bars)

Consolidation Zones - LiveHello Traders!
This is the script that finds Consolidation Zones in Realtime.
How it works?
- The script finds highest/lowest bars by using "Loopback Period"
- Then it calculates direction
- By using the direction and highest/lowest bar info it calculates consolidation zones in realtime
- If the length of consolidation area is equal/greater than user-defined min length then this area is shown as consolidation zone
- Then Consolidation Zone extends automatically if there is no breakout
if you increase the Loopback Length then you get bigger consolidation zones:
You have option to "Paint Consolidation Area" or not:
Enjoy!
Life StrandA visual representation of 25, 50, 100, or 200 moving averages and their position relative to price action.
Reading this Indicator:
Blue represents that the majority of MAs are below price action, indicating a bullish trend. The wider the Strand, the stronger the trend. All 4 Settings showing blue indicate a strong bullish trend.
Orange represents that the majority of MAs are above price action, indicating a bearish trend. The wider the Strand, the stronger the trend. All 4 Settings showing orange indicate a strong bearish trend.
White areas signify some MAs are above while others are below price action, indicating periods of consolidation or trend change.
The 25 MA setting is most responsive to PA and shows change of trends quickly. The 200 MA setting is the least responsive but gives a solid look at the long term trend and ignores the ups and downs in a longer trend.
Currently Supported MAs:
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
RSI Moving Average (RMA)
Weighted Moving Average (WMA)

I prefer to have all 4 Life Strands open (25, 50, 100, 200) and look for confluence of all 4 for confirmation of PA direction. All 4 are orange for 2-4 candles, strong indication of bearish movement. Same can be said for blue. When the 4 settings have conflicting colors (ie 2 are blue, 2 are orange), that PA becomes a no trade zone for me. Confirmation is key, as is with any indicator.
[astropark] I Love GannDear Followers,
yet another great tool! Gann was historically a great trader, who strictly followed his theory and died so rich!
Gann Fan is a great indicator: it draws a series of trendlines from important highs and lows in the chart and, as you will see from the chart itself, price action feels those trendlines, which acts as support and resistance !
Once a trendline is broken up, price tends to go upper to the next one, while the contrary happens when a trendline is broken down.
Here an example on BTCUSD:
Here an example on EURUSD:
This indicator
draws for you the Gann Fan, you don't need to do anything !
works on both cryptocurrencies, stocks and forex charts
works on every timeframe, but I suggest you to use it on high timeframes, where it's more reliable
lets you select the starting and the ending day-time from which and to which you want to see gann fans
lets you make trendlines be drawn dashed if you like, as well as you can edit their width
Sideways Money - Bitcoin BeatsHello, Hello, Hello,
And welcome back to Bitcoin Beats.
This is another version of my previous script, "Range Indicator - Bitcoin Beats".
Designed initially for breakouts but shows adaptive ranges and consolidation in XBTUSD(Haven't tested other assets but should do the same thing).
If we are consolidating (which is most of the time) a good strategy to trade would be to trade ranges. However, as soon as you spot the range it can feel like the range has changed so you lose out on making the monies.
This indicator plots out the average range in a consolidation.
It also shows you when the range has broken in a direction that it previously hasn't broken in. This essentially signifies the the trend changing and gives warning that trading the range may no longer be valid.
There are a few ways to trade this indicator and I will explain 2 of them here.
PLEASE TRADE AT YOUR OWN RISK. YOUR FUNDS ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
IF YOU TRADE WITH THESE STRATEGIES, YOU ARE TO BLAME FOR YOUR OWN LOSSES.
BY USING THIS INDICATOR YOU AGREE THAT I WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE IN THE CASE OF YOU LOSING FUNDS.
Strategy 1:
- Have 2 bitmex accounts open.
- Use on the 30m, 1h, 3h or 12h.
- Long AND Short on both accounts when we hit the middle area. This is called the "Reload Zone".
- When we hit the edge of each side of the plotted range, close the positions in profit.
- You will then have 1 trade underwater.
- If the range is solid, the price will move back to the Reload Zone in which you reload you position that you took profit with.
- You then have both a Long AND Short open after 1 profitable trade.
- Rinse and repeat until you get the "STRATEGY CAUTION" message signifying that the range will most likely break soon.
Strategy 2(least profitable):
- When the "STRATEGY CAUTION" Message appears, you can long or short depending on which side it breaks toward.
- If we break down, short.
- If we break up, Long.
I wouldn't advise this second strategy if you are a beginner as the results are inconclusive and it's more of a hybrid trading strategy, meaning you have to know how to trade with price action flowing.
Usually if it is appearing volatile, you can go to a higher time frame and find the exact range it's catering to, adjusting your strategy accordingly.
See you soon,
Goodbye, from Bitcoin Beats.
Range Indicator - Bitcoin BeatsHello, Hello, Hello,
And welcome back to Bitcoin Beats.
Today I'm going to show you my Ranges Indicator. Designed initially for breakouts but an analysts mind quickly spots the other uses for this indicator.
If we are consolidating (which is most of the time) a good strategy to trade would be to trade ranges. However, as soon as you spot the range it can feel like the range has changed so you lose out on making the monies.
This indicator plots out the average range in a consolidation allowing you to take action and make those monies.
I've highlighted a profitable strategy in the picture that means you can make money on bitcoin when it goes sideways.
Usually if it is appearing volatile, you can go to a higher time frame and find the exact range it's catering to, adjusting your strategy accordingly.
The strategy I've highlighted in accordance with this indicator is longing AND shorting from the center point of a range and cashing out either side until the range breaks.
If you'd like a trial, please leave a comment and I'll add you to the list :)
See you soon,
Goodbye, from Bitcoin Beats.
Consolidation vs Trending
ADX is used to quantify trend strength. ADX calculations are based on a moving average of price range expansion over a given period of time. The default setting is 14 bars, although other time periods can be used. ADX can be used on any trading vehicle such as stocks, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and futures.
ADX is plotted as a single line with values ranging from a low of zero to a high of 100. ADX is non-directional; it registers trend strength whether price is trending up or down. The indicator is usually plotted in the same window as the two directional movement indicator (DMI) lines, from which ADX is derived.
When the +DMI is above the -DMI, prices are moving up, and ADX measures the strength of the uptrend. When the -DMI is above the +DMI, prices are moving down, and ADX measures the strength of the downtrend.
ADX values help traders identify the strongest and most profitable trends to trade. The values are also important for distinguishing between trending and non-trending conditions. Many traders will use ADX readings above 25 to suggest that the trend is strong enough for trend-trading strategies. Conversely, when ADX is below 25, many will avoid trend-trading strategies.
ADX Value Trend Strength
0-25 Absent or Weak Trend
25-50 Strong Trend
50-75 Very Strong Trend
75-100 Extremely Strong Trend
AM Trend Exhaustion/ChopThis indicator lets you see when a trend may be exhausted and require consolidation, as well as choppy trading zones.
When the oscillator is in the bottom bar, the price is in a chop zone. When it reaches the top bar, it is due for consolidation.
