Sessions [UkutaLabs]█ OVERVIEW
Sessions is a trading toolkit that displays the different trading sessions on your chart during a trading day. By default, Sessions displays the four standard trading sessions; New York, Tokyo, London, and Sydney.
Each of the four sessions can be toggled, and the Sessions indicator is completely customizable, allowing users to define their own sessions to be generated by the script.
The aim of this script is to improve the trading experience of users by automatically displaying information about each default or custom session to the user.
█ USAGE
This script will automatically detect and label different market sessions. By default, the script will identify the four standard trading sessions, but each of these can be toggled off in the settings.
However, users are not limited to these four trading sessions and have the ability to define their own sessions to be identified by the script. When a session begins, the script will automatically start outlining the market data of that session, including the high and low of the period that is represented by the session.
If the market is within two or more sessions at the same time, then each session will be treated individually and will overlap with each other.
The sessions will be identified as a colored box surrounding the market data of the period that it represents, and a label will be displayed above the box to identify the session that it represents. The label, color and period of each session is completely customizable.
The user can also adjust all sessions at once to account for timezones in the settings.
█ SETTINGS
Session 1
• Session 1: Determines whether or not this session will be drawn by the script.
• A string field to determine the name of the session that will be displayed above the session range.
• Two time fields representing the start and finish of the session.
• A color field to determine the color of the range and label.
Session 2
• Session 2: Determines whether or not this session will be drawn by the script.
• A string field to determine the name of the session that will be displayed above the session range.
• Two time fields representing the start and finish of the session.
• A color field to determine the color of the range and label.
Session 3
• Session 3: Determines whether or not this session will be drawn by the script.
• A string field to determine the name of the session that will be displayed above the session range.
• Two time fields representing the start and finish of the session.
• A color field to determine the color of the range and label.
Session 4
• Session 4: Determines whether or not this session will be drawn by the script.
• A string field to determine the name of the session that will be displayed above the session range.
• Two time fields representing the start and finish of the session.
• A color field to determine the color of the range and label.
Time Zones
• UTC +/-: Determines the offset of each session. Enter - before the number to represent a negative offset.

Triple MA HTF strategy - Dynamic SmoothingThe triple MA strategy is a simple but effective method to trade the trend. The advantage of this script over the existing triple MA strategies is that the user can open a lower time frame chart and select higher time frame inputs for different MA types mainting the visibility on the chart. The dynamic smoothing code makes sure the HTF trendlines are not jagged, but a fluid line visiable on the lower time frame chart. The script comes with a MA crossover and crossunder strategy explained below.
Moving Averages (MA) Crossover for Entry:
Long Entry: A long entry signal is triggered when the moving average line 1 crosses above the moving average line 2. This crossover indicates a potential shift in market sentiment towards the upside. However, to validate this signal, the strategy checks if the moving average 3 on a higher time frame (eg. 4 hour) is in an upward trend. This additional filter ensures that the trade aligns with the prevailing trend on a broader time scale, increasing the probability of success.
Short Entry: Conversely, a short entry signal occurs when the moving average line 1 crosses below the moving average line 2. This crossover suggests a possible downturn in market momentum. However, for a short trade to be confirmed, the strategy verifies that the moving average 3 on the higher time frame is in a downward trend. This confirmation ensures that the trade is in harmony with the overarching market direction.
Exit from Long Position: The strategy triggers an exit signal from a long position when the moving average line 1 crosses below the moving average line 2. This crossover indicates a potential reversal in the market trend, prompting the trader to close their long position and take profits or minimize losses.
Exit from Short Position: Similarly, an exit signal from a short position occurs when the moving average line 1 crosses above the moving average line 2. This crossover suggests a potential shift in market sentiment towards the upside, prompting the trader to exit their short position and manage their risk accordingly.
Features of the script
This Triple MA Strategy is basically the HTF Trend Filter displayed 3 times on the chart. For more infomation on how the MA with dynamic smoothing is calculated I recommend reading the following script:
For risk management I included a simple script to opt for % of eauity or # of contracts of in the instrument. For explanation on how the risk management settings work I refer to my ealier published script:
The strategy is a simplified example for setting up an entry and exit logic based on multiple moving avarages. Hence the script is meant for educational purposes only.
Ichimoku Slope Filtered Signals [UAlgo]
🔶Description:
The "Ichimoku Slope Filtered Signals" indicator is designed to provide trading signals based on the Ichimoku Cloud indicator while incorporating a slope filter. The Ichimoku Cloud is a comprehensive indicator that defines support and resistance, identifies trend direction, and provides trading signals. This script enhances the traditional Ichimoku Cloud signals by incorporating a slope filter, which helps to confirm the strength and direction of the trend.
🔶Key Features:
Ichimoku Cloud Parameters: Users can customize parameters such as Tenkan, Kijun, and Senkou Span lengths, along with multipliers, to adjust the sensitivity of the Ichimoku Cloud.
Slope Filter Settings: Users can specify the number of bars to measure the slope and the lookback period for trend measurement. Additionally, there are options to filter Ichimoku signals based on slope thresholds.
Normalized Slope: The indicator calculates the normalized slope of the selected data series (in this case, Tenkan-sen) and plots it alongside the Ichimoku Cloud.
Signal Generation: Trading signals are generated based on crossovers and crossunders of the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen lines of the Ichimoku Cloud. These signals can be further filtered based on the normalized slope of the selected data series.
🔶 Usage:
Customization: Traders can customize the parameters of the Ichimoku Cloud and slope filter according to their trading strategy and risk tolerance.
Interpretation of Signals:
Crossover: A buy signal is generated when the Tenkan-sen line crosses above the Kijun-sen line. This signal can be further filtered based on the normalized slope.
Crossunder: A sell signal is generated when the Tenkan-sen line crosses below the Kijun-sen line. Similar to the buy signal, this can also be filtered based on the normalized slope.
Trend Confirmation: The normalized slope provides additional confirmation of the strength and direction of the trend. A positive slope indicates an upward trend, while a negative slope indicates a downward trend.

Selected Dates Filter by @zeusbottradingWe are presenting you feature for strategies in Pine Script.
This function/pine script is about NOT opening trades on selected days. Real usage is for bank holidays or volatile days (PPI, CPI, Interest Rates etc.) in United States and United Kingdom from 2020 to 2030 (10 years of dates of bank holidays in mentioned countries above). Strategy is simple - SMA crossover of two lengts 14 and 28 with close source.
In pine script you can see we picked US and GB bank holidays. If you add this into your strategy, your bot will not open trades on those days. You must make it a rule or a condition. We use it as a rule in opening long/short trades.
You can also add some of your prefered dates, here is just example of our idea. If you want to add your preffered days you can find them on any site like forexfactory, myfxbook and so on. But don’t forget to add function “time_tradingday ! = YourChoosedDate” as it is writen lower in the pine script.
Sometimes the date is substituted for a different day, because the day of the holiday is on Saturday or Sunday.

[ChasinAlts]Top-Wicked Good S/R LinesHello Tradeurs, as per usual, I hope everyone is having a FAN-FRIGGIN-TASTIC day. With the soon incoming bull market approaching fast(Nov 7, 2022), there are a few ideas that I've really been trying to push out to help nail a few coins as they are near their bottom peak of this closing Bear Market. This one may seem very similar to the last one I posted but I think this one takes the cake...esp when you see the next script from my 'Market Overview' series that I will be publishing shortly after this one as it is utilizing this new script for a market scanner that will be SUPER legit and profitable. Though it is alway nice to be noticed, I'm glad that I'm relatively unpopular so the few people that are now following me can have some time to make some money with some of these scripts I'm trying to pump out for the benefit of the community. I will rarely give my full analysis of how I take in and utilize these scripts but I can tell you, QUITE A FEW of them are money in the bank. Esp these last few I've done/am doing and even more-so the ones that are soon to come (I'm speaking of about the next 3-4 that I will be attempting to pump out in this next VERY IMPORTANT week.). One more thing I'll add before going to the script is a little alpha(Im pretty certain this is the way it is going but NOTHING is EVERY 100% in life). What I believe should be realized is the bottoming out of MANY of the crypto coins at the VERY bottom of a LONG TERM Cup and Handle (so it seems but shat can still change in the blink of an eye). Thus there are quite a few coins that I believe have already bottomed and wont be returning to said bottom for a few years or so but there are also quite a few still at the brink of the bottomest part before the real market breakout occurs. My goal with these scripts coming out this week to help you all find those coins that have yet to hit their very bottom (thus the ATH/ATL script recently published). Going back in history looking for the lowest points of long term Cup & Handles I will point out 2 key things. Near the center/bottomest part of these historical CnH you will see either Double Bottoms OR a Huge dump and then its V-shaped recovery. After these print the point of no return has occurred where only a few coins will be going lower than these Double Bottoms/V-Shaped recoveries. So the time is at hand. Now that many coins are seemingly pumping after this long consolidation, I believe we need to keep a keen eye out for THE FINAL RUG PULL (as soon as enough degenerates are leveraging Long their entire savings.). What Im saying is be ready for this final rug pull to finally be seeing these Double Bottoms/V-Shaped recoveries VERY soon. DO NOT waste all your capital yet and MAKE SURE to use stop losses or else rather than stop losses you will be burdened with MUCH WORSE losses. Im currently not even in the market bc I am waiting on said rug pull. Ok for the Script now.
This script is similar to the last one but with the previous one, one general set of settings can produce VASTLY different results (might have 2 S/R lines on one coin and 80 on another). I wanted to fix that with this script, turn it into a "Market Overview" Scanner and create alerts for the MO Scanner to be able to get alerted any time a coin is passing its largest wick S/R levels bc DULY NOTE...it is VERY rare that a coin will blow past it if it hasn't approached it recently. That means that a small retrace of 3-5%(or more) is EASY to acquire (with leverage that can really add up with how many coins are in the Kucoin Margin Coin list that I have in my scanners). Now, once price does shoot through a level you best be sure to be looking down the line for a retest of the S/R level it blew past before as they are MANY times the retest level and price will be coming back to it before continuing
in the direction it was going. Depending on the TF your using this could be a few hours to a few days to a few weeks...you get it. With this script you can choose to draw S/R lines 2 ways: 1) by having it plot S/R lines on the end of the largest 2(3,4,5..however many you choose) wicks that the chart has access to. For the scanner ill just be putting the largest 2-3 wicks and set alerts when coming up to them/crossing them & 2) having it draw S/R lines on the ends of the largest X% of wicks. it will be erasing the lines and drawing new ones on each new candle occurrence so the same general settings will no longer be producing VASTLY diff amounts of S/R lines and will be way more consistent amongst the coins for better utilization with the scanner (when I publish it). There is also a Wick Max Cutoff % so for those coins that had it's first few hours printing 100% sized wicks...you can choose to ignore them so they are not taking up one of your top spots for the S/R lines. There is similarly a Wick % min Size that can be selected so if you’re using the top % setting, it will help decrease those coins that can be still plotting 30 lines even though the top 3% of the largest wicks are set in the settings. Hope Im being clear but it's easy enough. I believe in you and your capabilities of comprehending it all and getting it all figured out. So this script is for a visualization for the scanner that I will be uploading soon-after. It's always nice to get a few comments if my ideas/scripts have been helpful to you and please don't hold back if you have something to tell me that I screwed up on (I am still rather new to this coding thing but I like to think I at least have some fresh ideas that aren’t out there in the public library). Talk to you soon and may the force be with your trades. Peace and love people...peace and love. -ChasinAlts out.
Candlestick Pattern Criteria and Analysis Indicator█ OVERVIEW
Define, then locate the presence of a candle that fits a specific criteria. Run a basic calculation on what happens after such a candle occurs.
Here, I’m not giving you an edge, but I’m giving you a clear way to find one.
IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE READ:
THE INDICATOR WILL ALWAYS INITIALLY LOAD WITH A RUNTIME ERROR. WHEN INITIALLY LOADED THERE NO CRITERIA SELECTED.
If you do not select a criteria or run a search for a criteria that doesn’t exist, you will get a runtime error. If you want to force the chart to load anyway, enable the debug panel at the bottom of the settings menu.
Who this is for:
- People who want to engage in TradingView for tedious and challenging data analysis related to candlestick measurement and occurrence rate and signal bar relationships with subsequent bars. People who don’t know but want to figure out what a strong bullish bar or a strong bearish bar is.
Who this is not for:
- People who want to be told by an indicator what is good or bad or buy or sell. Also, not for people that don’t have any clear idea on what they think is a strong bullish bar or a strong bearish bar and aren’t willing to put in the work.
Recommendation: Use on the candle resolution that accurately reflects your typical holding period. If you typically hold a trade for 3 weeks, use 3W candles. If you hold a trade for 3 minutes, use 3m candles.
Tldr; Read the tool tips and everything above this line. Let me know any issues that arise or questions you have.
█ CONCEPTS
Many trading styles indicate that a certain candle construct implies a bearish or bullish future for price. That said, it is also common to add to that idea that the context matters. Of course, this is how you end up with all manner of candlestick patterns accounting for thousands of pages of literature. No matter the context though, we can distill a discretionary trader's decision to take a trade based on one very basic premise: “A trader decides to take a trade on the basis of the rightmost candle's construction and what he/she believes that candle construct implies about the future price.” This indicator vets that trader’s theory in the most basic way possible. It finds the instances of any candle construction and takes a look at what happens on the next bar. This current bar is our “Signal Bar.”
█ GUIDE
I said that we vet the theory in the most basic way possible. But, in truth, this indicator is very complex as a result of there being thousands of ways to define a ‘strong’ candle. And you get to define things on a very granular level with this indicator.
Features:
1. Candle Highlighting
When the user’s criteria is met, the candle is highlighted on the chart.
The following candle is highlighted based on whether it breaks out, breaks down, or is an inside bar.
2. User-Defined Criteria
Criteria that you define include:
Candle Type: Bull bars, Bear bars, or both
Candle Attributes
Average Size based on Standard Deviation or Average of all potential bars in price history
Search within a specific price range
Search within a specific time range
Clarify time range using defined sessions and with or without weekends
3. Strike Lines on Candle
Often you want to know how price reacts when it gets back to a certain candle. Also it might be true that candle types cluster in a price region. This can be identified visually by adding lines that extend right on candles that fit the criteria.
4. User-Defined Context
Labeled “Alternative Criteria,” this facet of the script allows the user to take the context provided from another indicator and import it into the indicator to use as a overriding criteria. To account for the fact that the external indicator must be imported as a float value, true (criteria of external indicator is met) must be imported as 1 and false (criteria of external indicator is not met) as 0. Basically a binary Boolean. This can be used to create context, such as in the case of a traditional fractal, or can be used to pair with other signals.
If you know how to code in Pinescript, you can save a copy and simply add your own code to the section indicated in the code and set your bull and bear variables accordingly and the code should compile just fine with no further editing needed.
Included with the script to maximize out-of-the-box functionality, there is preloaded as alternative criteria a code snippet. The criteria is met on the bull side when the current candle close breaks out above the prior candle high. The bear criteria is met when the close breaks below the prior candle. When Alternate Criteria is run by itself, this is the only criteria set and bars are highlighted when it is true. You can qualify these candles by adding additional attributes that you think would fit well.
Using Alternative Criteria, you are essentially setting a filter for the rest of the criteria.
5. Extensive Read Out in the Data Window (right side bar pop out window).
As you can see in the thumbnail, there is pasted a copy of the Data Window Dialogue. I am doubtful I can get the thumbnail to load up perfectly aligned. Its hard to get all these data points in here. It may be better suited for a table at this point. Let me know what you think.
The primary, but not exclusive, purpose of what is in the Data Window is to talk about how often your criteria happens and what happens on the next bar. There are a lot of pieces to this.
Red = Values pertaining to the size of the current bar only
Blue = Values pertaining or related to the total number of signals
Green = Values pertaining to the signal bars themselves, including their measurements
Purple = Values pertaining to bullish bars that happen after the signal bar
Fuchsia = Values pertaining to bearish bars that happen after the signal bar
Lime = Last four rows which are your percentage occurrence vs total signals percentages
The best way I can explain how to understand parts you don’t understand otherwise in the data window is search the title of the row in the code using ‘ctrl+f’ and look at it and see if it makes more sense.
█ [b}Available Candle Attributes
Candle attributes can be used in any combination. They include:
[*}Bodies
[*}High/Low Range
[*}Upper Wick
[*}Lower Wick
[*}Average Size
[*}Alternative Criteria
Criteria will evaluate each attribute independently. If none is set for a particular attribute it is bypassed.
Criteria Quantity can be in Ticks, Points, or Percentage. For percentage keep in mind if using anything involving the candle range will not work well with percentage.
Criteria Operators are “Greater Than,” “Less Than,” and “Threshold.” Threshold means within a range of two numbers.
█ Problems with this methodology and opportunities for future development:
#1 This kind of work is hard.
If you know what you’re doing you might be able to find success changing out the inputs for loops and logging results in arrays or matrices, but to manually go through and test various criteria is a lot of work. However, it is rewarding. At the time of publication in early Oct 2022, you will quickly find that you get MUCH more follow through on bear bars than bull bars. That should be obvious because we’re in the middle of a bear market, but you can still work with the parameters and contextual inputs to determine what maximizes your probability. I’ve found configurations that yield 70% probability across the full series of bars. That’s an edge. That means that 70% of the time, when this criteria is met, the next bar puts you in profit.
#2 The script is VERY heavy.
Takes an eternity to load. But, give it a break, it’s doing a heck of a lot! There is 10 unique arrays in here and a loop that is a bit heavy but gives us the debug window.
#3 If you don’t have a clear idea its hard to know where to start.
There are a lot of levers to pull on in this script. Knowing which ones are useful and meaningful is very challenging. Combine that with long load times… its not great.
#4 Your brain is the only thing that can optimize your results because the criteria come from your mind.
Machine learning would be much more useful here, but for now, you are the machine. Learn.
#5 You can’t save your settings.
So, when you find a good combo, you’ll have to write it down elsewhere for future reference. It would be nice if we could save templates on custom indicators like we can on some of the built in drawing tools, but I’ve had no success in that. So, I recommend screenshotting your settings and saving them in Notion.so or some other solid record keeping database. Then you can go back and retrieve those settings.
#6 no way to export these results into conditions that can be copy/pasted into another script.
Copy/Paste of labels or tables would be the best feature ever at this point. Because you could take the criteria and put it in a label, copy it and drop it into another strategy script or something. But… men can dream.
█ Opportunities to PineCoders Learn:
1. In this script I’m importing libraries, showing some of my libraries functionality. Hopefully that gives you some ideas on how to use them too.
The price displacement library (which I love!)
Creative and conventional ways of using debug()
how to display arrays and matrices on charts
I didn’t call in the library that holds the backtesting function. But, also demonstrating, you can always pull the library up and just copy/paste the function out of there and into your script. That’s fine to do a lot of the time.
2. I am using REALLY complicated logic in this script (at least for me). I included extensive descriptions of this ? : logic in the text of the script. I also did my best to bracket () my logic groups to demonstrate how they fit together, both for you and my future self.
3. The breakout, built-in, “alternative criteria” is actually a small bit of genius built in there if you want to take the time to understand that block of code and think about some of the larger implications of the method deployed.
As always, a big thank you to TradingView and the Pinescript community, the Pinescript pros who have mentored me, and all of you who I am privileged to help in their Pinescripting journey.

IU Multiple Trailing Stop Loss Methods The 'IU Multiplier Trailing SL' its risk management tool which allows users to apply multiple trailing stop-loss (SL) methods for risk management of their trades. Below is a detailed explanation of each input and the working of the Script.
Main Inputs:
- bar_time: Specifies the date from which the strategy begins.
- entry_type: Choose between 'Long' or 'Short' positions.
- trailing_method: Select the trailing stop-loss method. Options include ATR, Parabolic SAR, Supertrend, Point/Pip based, Percentage, EMA, Highest/Lowest, Standard Deviation, and multiple target-based methods.
- exit_after_close: If checked, exits the trade only after the candle closes.
Optional Inputs:
ATR Settings:
- atr_Length: Length for the ATR calculation.
- atr_factor: ATR multiplier for SL calculation.
Parabolic SAR Settings:
- start, increment, maximum: Parameters for the Parabolic SAR indicator.
Supertrend Settings:
- supertrend_Length, supertrend_factor: Length and factor for the Supertrend indicator.
Point/Pip Based:
- point_base: Set trailing SL in points/pips.
Percentage Based:
- percentage_base: Set SL as a percentage of entry price.
EMA Settings:
- ema_Length: Length for EMA calculation.
Standard Deviation Settings:
- std_Length, std_factor: Length and factor for standard deviation calculation.
Highest/Lowest Settings:
- highest_lowest_Length: Length for the highest/lowest SL calculation.
Target-Based Inputs:
- ATR, Point, Percentage, and Standard Deviation based target SL settings with customizable lengths and multipliers.
Entry Logic:
- Trades initiate based on the entry_type selected and the specified bar_time.
- If Long is selected, a long trade is initiated when the conditions match, and vice versa for Short.
Trailing Stop-Loss (SL) Methods Explained:
The strategy dynamically adjusts stop-loss based on the chosen method. Each method has its calculation logic:
- ATR: Stop-loss calculated using ATR multiplied by a user-defined factor.
- Parabolic SAR: Uses the Parabolic SAR indicator for trailing stop-loss.
- Supertrend: Utilizes the Supertrend indicator as the stop-loss line.
- Point/Pip Based: Fixed point-based stop-loss.
- Percentage Based: SL set as a percentage of entry price.
- EMA: SL based on the Exponential Moving Average.
- Highest/Lowest: Uses the highest high or lowest low over a specified period.
- Standard Deviation: SL calculated using standard deviation.
Exit Conditions:
- If exit_after_close is enabled, the position will only close after the candle confirms the stop-loss hit.
- If exit_after_close is disabled, the strategy will close the trade immediately when the SL is breached.
Visualization:
The script plots the chosen trailing stop-loss method on the chart for easy visualization.
Target-Based Trailing SL Logic:
- When a position is opened, the strategy calculates the initial stop-loss and progressively adjusts it as the price moves favorably.
- Each SL adjustment is stored in an array for accurate tracking and visualization.
Alerts and Labels:
- When the trailing stop loss is hit this scripts draws a label and give alert to the user that trailing stop has been hit for the trade.
Summary:
This script offers flexible trailing stop-loss options for traders who want dynamic risk management in their strategies. By offering multiple methods like ATR, SAR, Supertrend, and EMA, it caters to various trading styles and risk preferences.
Volatility Signaling 50SMAOverview of the Script:
The script implements a volatility signaling indicator using a 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA). It incorporates Bollinger Bands and the Average True Range (ATR) to dynamically adjust the SMA's color based on volatility conditions. Here's a detailed breakdown:
Components of the Script:
1. Inputs:
The script allows the user to customize key parameters for flexibility:
Bollinger Bands Length (length): Determines the period for calculating the Bollinger Bands.
Source (src): The price data to use, defaulting to the closing price.
Standard Deviation Multiplier (mult): Scales the Bollinger Bands' width.
ATR Length (atrLength): Sets the period for calculating the ATR.
The 50-period SMA length (smaLength) is fixed at 50.
2. Bollinger Bands Calculation:
Basis: Calculated as the SMA of the selected price source over the specified length.
Upper and Lower Bands: Determined by adding/subtracting a scaled standard deviation (dev) from the basis.
3. ATR Calculation:
Computes the Average True Range over the user-defined atrLength.
4. Volatility-Based Conditions:
The script establishes thresholds for Bollinger Band width relative to ATR:
Yellow Condition: When the band width (upper - lower) is less than 1.25 times the ATR.
Orange Condition: When the band width is less than 1.5 times the ATR.
Red Condition: When the band width is less than 1.75 times the ATR.
5. Dynamic SMA Coloring:
The 50-period SMA is colored based on the above conditions:
Yellow: Indicates relatively low volatility.
Orange: Indicates moderate volatility.
Red: Indicates higher volatility.
White: Default color when no conditions are met.
6. Plotting the 50-Period SMA:
The script plots the SMA (sma50) with a dynamically assigned color, enabling visual analysis of market conditions.
Use Case:
This script is ideal for traders seeking to assess market volatility and identify changes using Bollinger Bands and ATR. The colored SMA provides an intuitive way to gauge market dynamics directly on the chart.

Yellow SMA: The market is in a low-volatility phase.
Orange SMA: Volatility is picking up but remains moderate.
Red SMA: Higher volatility, potentially signaling significant market activity.
White SMA: Neutral/default state.
Previous High and Low Count with Probabilities + Risk On/Off1. Purpose of the Script:
This trading script combines two important concepts:
Previous High and Low Count: It tracks whether the current price exceeds the previous day’s high or low and calculates probabilities for the next price movement (up or down).
Risk On / Risk Off Indicator: It evaluates market sentiment through various indicators (such as the Fear & Greed Index, VIX, and others) and shows whether the market is in a risk-on or risk-off state. This information impacts the probabilities of price movement.
2. How it Works:
Previous High and Low:
The script tracks how often the price exceeds the previous day’s high or low and calculates the probability of an upward or downward movement based on that. This gives you an idea of how often the market reacts at the previous day's high or low.
Risk On / Risk Off:
Based on various market factors (Fear & Greed Index, VIX, Put-Call Ratio, etc.), the script calculates the Risk On or Risk Off state.
In Risk On, the probability of an upward movement increases, and the probability of a downward movement decreases. In Risk Off, it’s the opposite.
Adjusted Probabilities:
The probabilities for an Up or Down movement are adjusted based on the current Risk On / Risk Off state. In a Risk On environment, the probability for an upward move increases, while in a Risk Off environment, the probability for a downward move increases.
3. How to Use the Script:
Add the Script in TradingView:
TradingView:
Click on "Add to Chart" to apply the script to your chart.
Manual Input of Indicators:
For the Fear & Greed Index, VIX, and other indicators, you need to manually enter the current values. You can get these values from various publicly available sources:
Fear & Greed Index: CNN Fear & Greed Index
VIX (Volatility Index): VIX Index
Other indicators like Put-Call Ratio, Bitcoin Volatility, Oil Prices, and US Dollar Index can also be manually inputted, and they can be found on finance websites like Yahoo Finance, MarketWatch, and Bloomberg.
Observe the Colors and Symbols:
If the market is in a Risk On state, the background will turn green, and a green triangle will appear below the candle.
If the market is in a Risk Off state, the background will turn red, and a red triangle will appear above the candle.
Track the Probabilities:
A label will appear on the chart showing the calculated probabilities for Up and Down movements. These probabilities are adjusted based on the current market state (Risk On/Off).
4. Meaning of the Probabilities:
Up Probability: Indicates the probability that the price will rise.
Down Probability: Indicates the probability that the price will fall.
The probabilities are dynamic and adjust based on the Risk On / Risk Off state, helping you make better decisions based on the current market conditions.
Ema Short Long Indicator[CHE]█ CONCEPTS
This Pine Script is an EMA Short Long indicator that displays the crossing EMA lines on the chart. The indicator uses three exponential moving averages (EMAs) to generate the buy and sell signals. The EMA lines are plotted as green (uptrend) and red (downtrend) lines. When the green line is above the white signal line, the indicator generates a buy signal, when the green line is below the white signal line, the indicator generates a sell signal. Arrows are also displayed marking the buy and sell signals. There is also an option to allow indicator repainting or not. Finally, users can also set alerts to be alerted to potential trading opportunities.
Note: please do not disable "time frame gaps". Allows to calculate the indicator on a Timeframe (TF) different from that of the chart Time window. The TF should ideally be higher than the charts to provide a broader perspective than
the TF of the chart. Using TFs lower than the chart's will deliver fragmentary results, since only the last value of intrabar is displayed (multiple values cannot be displayed for a single chart bar). The Gaps setting determines the behavior when the TF is higher than the TF of the chart. If 'gaps' is checked, higher TF values only come in and are interconnected on the diagram when the higher TF completed. This has the advantage of avoidance Real-time epainting. If Gaps is not enabled, Gaps are filled with the last higher TF value calculated, which will not produce a repaint Values on historical bars but repaint values realtime.
█ HOW TO USE IT
Load the indicator on an active chart (see the Help Center if you don't know how).
Time period
By default, the script uses an auto-stepping mechanism to adjust the time period of its moving window to the chart's timeframe. The following table shows chart timeframes and the corresponding time period used by the script. When the chart's timeframe is less than or equal to the timeframe in the first column, the second column's time period is used to calculate the Ema Short Long Indicator :
Chart Time
timeframe period
1min 🠆 1H
5min 🠆 4H
1H 🠆 1D
4H 🠆 3D
12H 🠆 1W
1D 🠆 1M
1W 🠆 3M
█ DESCRIPTION
The script begins by setting up the chart indicator with a short title, "ESLI", and enabling it as an overlay. It then initializes several variables for time conversions, to be used later in the script.
The timeStep_translate() function converts the timeframe of the chart into a string representing a larger time interval, based on the number of seconds in the timeframe. The resulting string is used to label the horizontal axis of the chart.
Next, the script defines several input variables that can be modified by the user. These include the colors of the EMA lines and the signals, whether or not the indicator is allowed to repaint (i.e. update past values based on future data), and the number of periods used to calculate the EMA and signal lines.
The f_security() function calls the request.security() function to fetch data from the specified security and timeframe, and is used to calculate the EMA and signal lines using the ta.ema() function. The clo variable is assigned the closing price data, adjusted for repainting and timeframe.
The EMA line is calculated using a weighted average of the EMA over the specified period and two times that period, as well as three times that period, divided by six. The signal line is calculated as the EMA of the EMA line over the specified period.
The col_css variable sets the color of the EMA line based on whether it is currently above or below the signal line. The script then plots the EMA and signal lines, and uses the plotshape() function to indicate long and short signals based on the crossovers and crossunders of the EMA and signal lines.
Finally, the script sets up alert conditions using the alertcondition() function to notify the user when a long or short signal is generated, including information about the symbol and closing price.

kNNLibrary "kNN"
Collection of experimental kNN functions. This is a work in progress, an improvement upon my original kNN script:
The script can be recreated with this library. Unlike the original script, that used multiple arrays, this has been reworked with the new Pine Script matrix features.
To make a kNN prediction, the following data should be supplied to the wrapper:
kNN : filter type. Right now either Binary or Percent . Binary works like in the original script: the system stores whether the price has increased (+1) or decreased (-1) since the previous knnStore event (called when either long or short condition is supplied). Percent works the same, but the values stored are the difference of prices in percents. That way larger differences in prices would give higher scores.
k : number k. This is how many nearest neighbors are to be selected (and summed up to get the result).
skew : kNN minimum difference. Normally, the prediction is done with a simple majority of the neighbor votes. If skew is given, then more than a simple majority is needed for a prediction. This also means that there are inputs for which no prediction would be given (if the majority votes are between -skew and +skew). Note that in Percent mode more profitable trades will have higher voting power.
depth : kNN matrix size limit. Originally, the whole available history of trades was used to make a prediction. This not only requires more computational power, but also neglects the fact that the market conditions are changing. This setting restricts the memory matrix to a finite number of past trades.
price : price series
long : long condition. True if the long conditions are met, but filters are not yet applied. For example, in my original script, trades are only made on crossings of fast and slow MAs. So, whenever it is possible to go long, this value is set true. False otherwise.
short : short condition. Same as long , but for short condition.
store : whether the inputs should be stored. Additional filters may be applied to prevent bad trades (for example, trend-based filters), so if you only need to consult kNN without storing the trade, this should be set to false.
feature1 : current value of feature 1. A feature in this case is some kind of data derived from the price. Different features may be used to analyse the price series. For example, oscillator values. Not all of them may be used for kNN prediction. As the current kNN implementation is 2-dimensional, only two features can be used.
feature2 : current value of feature 2.
The wrapper returns a tuple: [ longOK, shortOK ]. This is a pair of filters. When longOK is true, then kNN predicts a long trade may be taken. When shortOK is true, then kNN predicts a short trade may be taken. The kNN filters are returned whenever long or short conditions are met. The trade is supposed to happen when long or short conditions are met and when the kNN filter for the desired direction is true.

DMI + HMA - No Risk ManagementDMI (Directional Movement Index) and HMA (Hull Moving Average)
The DMI and HMA make a great combination, The DMI will gauge the market direction, while the HMA will add confirmation to the trend strength.
What is the DMI?
The DMI is an indicator that was developed by J. Welles Wilder in 1978. The Indicator was designed to identify in which direction the price is moving. This is done by comparing previous highs and lows and drawing 2 lines.
1. A Positive movement line
2. A Negative movement line
A third line can be added, which would be known as the ADX line or Average Directional Index. This can also be used to gauge the strength in which direction the market is moving.
When the Positive movement line (DI+) is above the Negative movement line (DI-) there is more upward pressure. Ofcourse visa versa, when the DI- is above the DI+ that would indicate more downwards pressure.
Want to know more about HMA? Check out one of our other published scripts
What is this strategy doing?
We are first waiting for the DMI to cross in our favoured direction, after that, we wait for the HMA to signal the entry. Without both conditions being true, no trade will be made.
Long Entries
1. DI+ crosses above DI-
2. HMA line 1 is above HMA line 2
Short Entries
1. DI- Crosses above DI+
2. HMA line 1 is below HMA lilne 2
Its as simple as that.
Conclusion
While this strategy does have its downsides, that can be reduced by adding some risk manegment into the script. In general the trade profitability is above average, And the max drawdown is at a minimum.
The settings have been optimised to suite BTCUSDT PERP markets. Though with small adjustments it can be used on many assets!

McGinley Dynamic (Improved) - John R. McGinley, Jr.For all the McGinley enthusiasts out there, this is my improved version of the "McGinley Dynamic", originally formulated and publicized in 1990 by John R. McGinley, Jr. Prior to this release, I recently had an encounter with a member request regarding the reliability and stability of the general algorithm. Years ago, I attempted to discover the root of it's inconsistency, but success was not possible until now. Being no stranger to a good old fashioned computational crisis, I revisited it with considerable contemplation.
I discovered a lack of constraints in the formulation that either caused the algorithm to implode to near zero and zero OR it could explosively enlarge to near infinite values during unusual price action volatility conditions, occurring on different time frames. A numeric E-notation in a moving average doesn't mean a stock just shot up in excess of a few quintillion in value from just "10ish" moments ago. Anyone experienced with the usual McGinley Dynamic, has probably encountered this with dynamically dramatic surprises in their chart, destroying it's usability.
Well, I believe I have found an answer to this dilemma of 'susceptibility to miscalculation', to provide what is most likely McGinley's whole hearted intention. It required upgrading the formulation with two constraints applied to it using min/max() functions. Let me explain why below.
When using base numbers with an exponent to the power of four, some miniature numbers smaller than one can numerically collapse to near 0 values, or even 0.0 itself. A denominator of zero will always give any computational device a horribly bad day, not to mention the developer. Let this be an EASY lesson in computational division, I often entertainingly express to others. You have heard the terminology "$#|T happens!🙂" right? In the programming realm, "AnyNumber/0.0 CAN happen!🤪" too, and it happens "A LOT" unexpectedly, even when it's highly improbable. On the other hand, numbers a bit larger than 2 with the power of four can tremendously expand rapidly to the numeric limits of 64-bit processing, generating ginormous spikes on a chart.
The ephemeral presence of one OR both of those potentials now has a combined satisfactory remedy, AND you as TV members now have it, endowed with the ever evolving "Power of Pine". Oh yeah, this one plots from bar_index==0 too. It also has experimental settings tweaks to play with, that may reveal untapped potential of this formulation. This function now has gain of function capabilities, NOT to be confused with viral gain of function enhancements from reckless BSL-4 leaking laboratories that need to be eternally abolished from this planet. Although, I do have hopes this imd() function has the potential to go viral. I believe this improved function may have utility in the future by developers of the TradingView community. You have the source, and use it wisely...
I included an generic ema() plot for a basic comparison, ultimately unveiling some of this algorithm's unique characteristics differing on a variety of time frames. Also another unconstrained function is included to display some the disparities of having no limitations on a divisor in the calculation. I strongly advise against the use of umd() in any published script. There is simply just no reason to even ponder using it. I also included notes in the script to warn against this. It's funny now, but some folks don't always read/understand my advisories... You have been warned!
NOTICE: You have absolute freedom to use this source code any way you see fit within your new Pine projects, and that includes TV themselves. You don't have to ask for my permission to reuse this improved function in your published scripts, simply because I have better things to do than answer requests for the reuse of this simplistic imd() function. Sufficient accreditation regarding this script and compliance with "TV's House Rules" regarding code reuse, is as easy as copying the entire function as is. Fair enough? Good! I have a backlog of "computational crises" to contend with, including another one during the writing of this elaborate description.
When available time provides itself, I will consider your inquiries, thoughts, and concepts presented below in the comments section, should you have any questions or comments regarding this indicator. When my indicators achieve more prevalent use by TV members, I may implement more ideas when they present themselves as worthy additions. Have a profitable future everyone!
Adaptive MFI Divergence IndicatorKey Features:
Pivot-Based Divergence Detection:
The script identifies bullish and bearish divergences using MFI EMA and price pivots:
Bullish Divergence: Price forms a lower low, while the MFI EMA forms a higher low.
Bearish Divergence: Price forms a higher high, while the MFI EMA forms a lower high.
Pivots are determined using configurable left and right bars for fine-tuned divergence detection.
Dynamic Entry Conditions:
For bullish divergences, the script:
Records the pivot high formed between the two pivot lows.
Triggers a buy signal only when the price closes above the recorded pivot high.
Ensures that the divergence aligns with a positive trend and occurs under favorable volatility conditions.
For bearish divergences, the script:
Records the pivot low formed between the two pivot highs.
Triggers a sell signal only when the price closes below the recorded pivot low.
Confirms the divergence aligns with a negative trend and sufficient volatility.
Trend and Volatility Filtering:

Buy&Sell Hollow CandlesThe Hollow Candles Script is a type of candlestick analysis script designed to highlight the following:
Purpose of the Script: This script provides the user with buy and sell signals based on candlesticks that show an upward or downward reversal.
Mechanism of the Script: When a hollow (unfilled) red candle appears, it signals a potential entry, provided that this candle is at a low point, following a series of red candles with higher volume than previous days. Similarly, it gives a sell signal when a green candle appears at a peak with high sell volume surpassing that of prior days. However, the appearance of these candles alone should not prompt an immediate buy or sell; you should wait for a confirming candle to validate the signal.
Sideways Movement Caution: If these signals appear during a sideways or flat trend, it is not advisable to proceed with buying or selling.
Chart Insights: The chart demonstrates certain buy and sell operations along with some non-ideal signals where decision-making should be based on fundamental analytical experience.
Value at Risk [OmegaTools]The "Value at Risk" (VaR) indicator is a powerful financial risk management tool that helps traders estimate the potential losses in a portfolio over a specified period of time, given a certain level of confidence. VaR is widely used by financial institutions, traders, and risk managers to assess the probability of portfolio losses in both normal and volatile market conditions. This TradingView script implements a comprehensive VaR calculation using several models, allowing users to visualize different risk scenarios and adjust their trading strategies accordingly.
Concept of Value at Risk
Value at Risk (VaR) is a statistical technique used to measure the likelihood of losses in a portfolio or financial asset due to market risks. In essence, it answers the question: "What is the maximum potential loss that could occur in a given portfolio over a specific time horizon, with a certain confidence level?" For instance, if a portfolio has a one-day 95% VaR of $10,000, it means that there is a 95% chance the portfolio will not lose more than $10,000 in a single day. Conversely, there is a 5% chance of losing more than $10,000. VaR is a key risk management tool for portfolio managers and traders because it quantifies potential losses in monetary terms, allowing for better-informed decision-making.
There are several ways to calculate VaR, and this indicator script incorporates three of the most commonly used models:
Historical VaR: This approach uses historical returns to estimate potential losses. It is based purely on past price data, assuming that the past distribution of returns is indicative of future risks.
Variance-Covariance VaR: This model assumes that asset returns follow a normal distribution and that the risk can be summarized using the mean and standard deviation of past returns. It is a parametric method that is widely used in financial risk management.
Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) VaR: In this model, recent data points are given more weight than older data. This dynamic approach allows the VaR estimation to react more quickly to changes in market volatility, which is particularly useful during periods of market stress. This model uses the Exponential Weighted Moving Average Volatility Model.
How the Script Works
The script starts by offering users a set of customizable input settings. The first input allows the user to choose between two main calculation modes: "All" or "OCT" (Only Current Timeframe). In the "All" mode, the script calculates VaR using all available methodologies—Historical, Variance-Covariance, and EWMA—providing a comprehensive risk overview. The "OCT" mode narrows the calculation to the current timeframe, which can be particularly useful for intraday traders who need a more focused view of risk.
The next input is the lookback window, which defines the number of historical periods used to calculate VaR. Commonly used lookback periods include 21 days (approximately one month), 63 days (about three months), and 252 days (roughly one year), with the script supporting up to 504 days for more extended historical analysis. A longer lookback period provides a more comprehensive picture of risk but may be less responsive to recent market conditions.
The confidence level is another important setting in the script. This represents the probability that the loss will not exceed the VaR estimate. Standard confidence levels are 90%, 95%, and 99%. A higher confidence level results in a more conservative risk estimate, meaning that the calculated VaR will reflect a more extreme loss scenario.
In addition to these core settings, the script allows users to customize the visual appearance of the indicator. For example, traders can choose different colors for "Bullish" (Risk On), "Bearish" (Risk Off), and "Neutral" phases, as well as colors for highlighting "Breaks" in the data, where returns exceed the calculated VaR. These visual cues make it easy to identify periods of heightened risk at a glance.
The actual VaR calculation is broken down into several models, starting with the Historical VaR calculation. This is done by computing the logarithmic returns of the asset's closing prices and then using linear interpolation to determine the percentile corresponding to the desired confidence level. This percentile represents the potential loss in the asset over the lookback period.
Next, the script calculates Variance-Covariance VaR using the mean and standard deviation of the historical returns. The standard deviation is multiplied by a z-score corresponding to the chosen confidence level (e.g., 1.645 for 95% confidence), and the resulting value is subtracted from the mean return to arrive at the VaR estimate.
The EWMA VaR model uses the EWMA for the sigma parameter, the standard deviation, obtaining a specific dynamic in the volatility. It is particularly useful in volatile markets where recent price behavior is more indicative of future risk than older data.
For traders interested in intraday risk management, the script provides several methods to adjust VaR calculations for lower timeframes. By using intraday returns and scaling them according to the chosen timeframe, the script provides a dynamic view of risk throughout the trading day. This is especially important for short-term traders who need to manage their exposure during high-volatility periods within the same day. The script also incorporates an EWMA model for intraday data, which gives greater weight to the most recent intraday price movements.
In addition to calculating VaR, the script also attempts to detect periods where the asset's returns exceed the estimated VaR threshold, referred to as "Breaks." When the returns breach the VaR limit, the script highlights these instances on the chart, allowing traders to quickly identify periods of extreme risk. The script also calculates the average of these breaks and displays it for comparison, helping traders understand how frequently these high-risk periods occur.
The script further visualizes the risk scenario using a risk phase classification system. Depending on the level of risk, the script categorizes the market as either "Risk On," "Risk Off," or "Risk Neutral." In "Risk On" mode, the market is considered bullish, and the indicator displays a green background. In "Risk Off" mode, the market is bearish, and the background turns red. If the market is neither strongly bullish nor bearish, the background turns neutral, signaling a balanced risk environment.
Traders can customize whether they want to see this risk phase background, along with toggling the display of the various VaR models, the intraday methods, and the break signals. This flexibility allows traders to tailor the indicator to their specific needs, whether they are day traders looking for quick intraday insights or longer-term investors focused on historical risk analysis.
The "Risk On" and "Risk Off" phases calculated by this Value at Risk (VaR) script introduce a novel approach to market risk assessment, offering traders an advanced toolset to gauge market sentiment and potential risk levels dynamically. These risk phases are built on a combination of traditional VaR methodologies and proprietary logic to create a more responsive and intuitive way to manage exposure in both normal and volatile market conditions. This method of classifying market conditions into "Risk On," "Risk Off," or "Risk Neutral" is not something that has been traditionally associated with VaR, making it a groundbreaking addition to this indicator.
How the "Risk On" and "Risk Off" Phases Are Calculated
In typical VaR implementations, the focus is on calculating the potential losses at a given confidence level without providing an overall market outlook. This script, however, introduces a unique risk classification system that takes the output of various VaR models and translates it into actionable signals for traders, marking whether the market is in a Risk On, Risk Off, or Risk Neutral phase.
The Risk On and Risk Off phases are primarily determined by comparing the current returns of the asset to the average VaR calculated across several different methods, including Historical VaR, Variance-Covariance VaR, and EWMA VaR. Here's how the process works:
1. Threshold Setting and Effect Calculation: The script first computes the average VaR using the selected models. It then checks whether the current returns (expressed as a negative value to signify loss) exceed the average VaR value. If the current returns surpass the calculated VaR threshold, this indicates that the actual market risk is higher than expected, signaling a potential shift in market conditions.
2. Break Analysis: In addition to monitoring whether returns exceed the average VaR, the script counts the number of instances within the lookback period where this breach occurs. This is referred to as the "break effect." For each period in the lookback window, the script checks whether the returns surpass the calculated VaR threshold and increments a counter. The percentage of periods where this breach occurs is then calculated as the "effect" or break percentage.
3. Dual Effect Check (if "Double" Risk Scenario is selected): When the user chooses the "Double" risk scenario mode, the script performs two layers of analysis. First, it calculates the effect of returns exceeding the VaR threshold for the current timeframe. Then, it calculates the effect for the lower intraday timeframe as well. Both effects are compared to the user-defined confidence level (e.g., 95%). If both effects exceed the confidence level, the market is deemed to be in a high-risk situation, thus triggering a Risk Off phase. If both effects fall below the confidence level, the market is classified as Risk On.
4. Risk Phases Determination: The final risk phase is determined by analyzing these effects in relation to the confidence level:
- Risk On: If the calculated effect of breaks is lower than the confidence level (e.g., fewer than 5% of periods show returns exceeding the VaR threshold for a 95% confidence level), the market is considered to be in a relatively safe state, and the script signals a "Risk On" phase. This is indicative of bullish conditions where the potential for extreme loss is minimal.
- Risk Off: If the break effect exceeds the confidence level (e.g., more than 5% of periods show returns breaching the VaR threshold), the market is deemed to be in a high-risk state, and the script signals a "Risk Off" phase. This indicates bearish market conditions where the likelihood of significant losses is higher.
- Risk Neutral: If the break effect hovers near the confidence level or if there is no clear trend indicating a shift toward either extreme, the market is classified as "Risk Neutral." In this phase, neither bulls nor bears are dominant, and traders should remain cautious.
The phase color that the script uses helps visualize these risk phases. The background will turn green in Risk On conditions, red in Risk Off conditions, and gray in Risk Neutral phases, providing immediate visual feedback on market risk. In addition to this, when the "Double" risk scenario is selected, the background will only turn green or red if both the current and intraday timeframes confirm the respective risk phase. This double-checking process ensures that traders are only given a strong signal when both longer-term and short-term risks align, reducing the likelihood of false signals.
A New Way of Using Value at Risk
This innovative Risk On/Risk Off classification, based on the interaction between VaR thresholds and market returns, represents a significant departure from the traditional use of Value at Risk as a pure risk measurement tool. Typically, VaR is employed as a backward-looking measure of risk, providing a static estimate of potential losses over a given timeframe with no immediate actionable feedback on current market conditions. This script, however, dynamically interprets VaR results to create a forward-looking, real-time signal that informs traders whether they are operating in a favorable (Risk On) or unfavorable (Risk Off) environment.
By incorporating the "break effect" analysis and allowing users to view the VaR breaches as a percentage of past occurrences, the script adds a predictive element that can be used to time market entries and exits more effectively. This **dual-layer risk analysis**, particularly when using the "Double" scenario mode, adds further granularity by considering both current timeframe and intraday risks. Traders can therefore make more informed decisions not just based on historical risk data, but on how the market is behaving in real-time relative to those risk benchmarks.
This approach transforms the VaR indicator from a risk monitoring tool into a decision-making system that helps identify favorable trading opportunities while alerting users to potential market downturns. It provides a more holistic view of market conditions by combining both statistical risk measurement and intuitive phase-based market analysis. This level of integration between VaR methodologies and real-time signal generation has not been widely seen in the world of trading indicators, marking this script as a cutting-edge tool for risk management and market sentiment analysis.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to @skewedzeta for his invaluable contribution to the final script. From generating fresh ideas to applying his expertise in reviewing the formula, his support has been instrumental in refining the outcome.
Jason's Simple Moving Averages WaveUnderstanding the Script:
Purpose: This script identifies potential trend direction and momentum using a moving average and wave amplitude calculation. It shows a green line when the price is trending upwards and a red line when trending downwards.
Strategy: This script doesn't provide a complete trading strategy. It's an indicator designed to be used alongside other tools.
Parameters: You can adjust the "Moving Average Length" input to change the sensitivity of the indicator. A shorter length will react quicker to price changes, while a longer length will be smoother but less responsive.
How to Use it:
Load the Script: In TradingView, navigate to the indicator creation section and paste the provided script code.
Adjust Parameters: Set the "Moving Average Length" based on your preferred timeframe and trading style.
Combine with Other Tools: Use the indicator along with other technical indicators or price action analysis to confirm potential entry and exit points for trades.
Here are some additional points to consider:
Crossovers: You could look for buy signals when the price crosses above the green line and sell signals when it crosses below the red line. However, these can be prone to false signals.
Divergence: Look for divergences between the price movement and the wave indicator. For example, a rising price with a falling wave could indicate overbought conditions and a potential reversal.
Confirmation: Don't rely solely on this indicator. Use it alongside other confirmations from price action, volume analysis, or other indicators to identify higher probability trades.
Important Note:
ET's FlagsPurpose:
This Pine Script is designed for the TradingView platform to identify and visually highlight specific technical chart patterns known as "Bull Flags" and "Bear Flags" on financial charts. These patterns are significant in trading as they can indicate potential continuation trends after a brief consolidation. The script includes mechanisms to manage signal frequency through a cooldown period, ensuring that the trading signals are not excessively frequent and are easier to interpret.
Functionality:
Input Parameters:
flagpole_length: Defines the number of bars to consider when identifying the initial surge in price, known as the flagpole.
flag_length: Determines the number of bars over which the flag itself is identified, representing a period of consolidation.
percent_change: Sets the minimum percentage change required to validate the presence of a flagpole.
cooldown_period: Specifies the number of bars to wait before another flag can be identified, reducing the risk of overlapping signals.
Percentage Change Calculation:
The script calculates the percentage change between two price points using a helper function percentChange(start, end). This function is crucial for determining whether the price movement within the specified flagpole_length meets the threshold set by percent_change, thus qualifying as a potential flagpole.
Flagpole Identification:
Bull Flagpole: Identified by finding the lowest close price over the flagpole_length and determining if the subsequent price rise meets or exceeds the specified percent_change.
Bear Flagpole: Identified by finding the highest close price over the flagpole_length and checking if the subsequent price drop is sufficient as per the percent_change.
Flag Identification:
After identifying a flagpole, the script assesses if the price action within the next flag_length bars consolidates in a manner that fits a flag pattern. This involves checking if the price fluctuation stays within the bounds set by the percent_change.
Signal Plotting:
If a bull or bear flag pattern is confirmed, and the cooldown period has passed since the last flag of the same type was identified, the script plots a visual shape on the chart:
Green shapes below the price bar for Bull Flags.
Red shapes above the price bar for Bear Flags.
Line Drawing:
For enhanced visualization, the script draws lines at the high and low prices of the flag during its formation period. This visually represents the consolidation phase of the flag pattern.
Debugging Labels:
The script optionally displays labels at the flag formation points, showing the exact percentage change achieved during the flagpole formation. This feature aids users in understanding why a particular segment of the price chart was identified as a flag.
Compliance and Usage:
This script does not automate trading but provides visual aids and potential signals based on historical price analysis. It adheres to TradingView's scripting policies by only accessing publicly available price data and user-defined parameters without executing trades or accessing any external data.
Conclusion:
This Pine Script is a powerful tool for traders who follow technical analysis, offering a clear, automated way to spot potential continuation patterns in the markets they monitor. By emphasizing visual clarity and reducing signal redundancy through cooldown periods, the script enhances decision-making processes for chart analysis on TradingView.

Johnny's Moving Average RibbonProps to Madrid for creating the original script: Madrid Moving Average Ribbon.
All I did was upgrade it to pinescript v5 and added a few changes to the script.
Features and Functionality
Moving Average Types: The indicator offers a choice between exponential moving averages (EMAs) and simple moving averages (SMAs), allowing users to select the type that best fits their trading strategy.
Dynamic Color Coding: Each moving average line within the ribbon changes color based on its direction and position relative to a reference moving average, providing visual cues for market sentiment and trend strength.
Lime Green: Indicates an uptrend and potential long positions, shown when a moving average is rising and above the longer-term reference MA.
Maroon: Suggests caution for long positions or potential short reentry points, displayed when a moving average is rising but below the reference MA.
Ruby Red: Represents a downtrend, suitable for short positions, shown when a moving average is falling and below the reference MA.
Green: Signals potential reentry points for downtrends or warnings for uptrend reversals, displayed when a moving average is falling but above the reference MA.
Usage and Application
Trend Identification: Traders can quickly ascertain the market's direction at a glance by observing the predominant color of the ribbon and its orientation.
Trade Entry and Exit Points: The color transitions within the ribbon can signal potential entry or exit points, with changes from green to lime or red to maroon indicating shifts in market momentum.
Customization: Users have the flexibility to toggle between exponential and simple moving averages, allowing for a tailored analytical approach that aligns with their individual trading preferences.
Technical Specifications
The ribbon consists of multiple moving averages calculated over different periods, typically ranging from shorter to longer-term intervals to capture various aspects of market behavior.
The color dynamics are determined by comparing each moving average to a reference point, often a longer-term moving average within the ribbon, to assess the relative trend strength and direction.
Monthly Performance Table by Dr. MauryaWhat is this ?
This Strategy script is not aim to produce strategy results but It aim to produce monthly PnL performance Calendar table which is useful for TradingView community to generate a monthly performance table for Own strategy.
So make sure to read the disclaimer below.
Why it is required to publish?:
I am not satisfied with the monthly performance available on TV community script. Sometimes it is very lengthy in code and sometimes it showing the wrong PNL for current month.
So I have decided to develop new Monthly performance or return in value as well as in percentage with highly flexible to adjust row automatically.
Features :
Accuracy increased for current month PnL.
There are 14 columns and automatically adjusted rows according to available trade years/month.
First Column reflect the YEAR, from second column to 13 column reflect the month and 14 column reflect the yearly PnL.
In tabulated data reflects the monthly PnL (value and (%)) in month column and Yearly PnL (value and (%)) in Yearly column.
Various color input also added to change the table look like background color, text color, heading text color, border color.
In tabulated data, background color turn green for profit and red for loss.
Copy from line 54 to last line as it is in your strategy script.
Credit: This code is modified and top up of the open-source code originally written by QuantNomad. Thanks for their contribution towards to give base and lead to other developers. I have changed the way of determining past PnL to array form and keep separated current month and year PnL from array. Which avoid the false pnl in current month.
Strategy description:
As in first line I said This strategy is aim to provide monthly performance table not focused on the strategy. But it is necessary to explain strategy which I have used here. Strategy is simply based on ADX available on TV community script. Long entry is based on when the difference between DIPlus and ADX is reached on certain value (Set value in Long difference in Input Tab) while Short entry is based on when the difference between DIMinus and ADX is reached on certain value (Set value in Short difference in Input Tab).
Default Strategy Properties used on chart(Important)
