Dynamic Support and Resistance with Trend LinesDynamic Support and Resistance with Trend Lines (DSRTL)
1. Introduction & Methodology
The DSRTL indicator is designed to provide a multidimensional analysis of market structure. Unlike traditional tools that rely solely on price pivots, this script combines Static Volume-based Zones with Dynamic Trend Lines to evaluate the price's position relative to critical market components.
The S/R Identification Technique
Instead of standard pivot points, DSRTL utilizes Volume Analysis to highlight areas of significant trader participation:
- Strategy A:
Matrix Climax: Identifies candles within the lookback period that are near price extremes (Highs/Lows) and coincide with significant buying or selling volume.
- Strategy B:
Volume Extremes: Detects candles with the absolute highest buy/sell volumes within the selected lookback window, creating extreme volume-based S/R zones.
- Result:
This creates Support/Resistance (S/R) zones that are validated by actual market activity, not just price geometry.
Dynamic Trend Lines
To complement the static zones, the indicator employs two adaptive channel methods:
- Pivot Span: Connects recent significant pivots for a fast, reactive trend corridor.
- 5-Point Channel: Segments the lookback period into 5 parts to perform a linear regression analysis, creating a stable and statistically significant channel.
2. Volume Calculation Methodology
Accurate S/R detection requires distinguishing Buy Volume from Sell Volume. DSRTL offers two calculation modes:
- Geometry (Source File): Estimates buy/sell volume based on the Close price's position relative to the High/Low of the candle.
Note: This is an approximation that works on all plan types as it does not require intrabar data.
- Intrabar (Precise): Analyzes historical lower-timeframe data (e.g., 15S) to calculate intrabar-based volume deltas with higher precision compared to the geometric method.
Note: This offers superior accuracy. It requires access to historical intrabar data (depending on your plan limits). For the best analytical results, use this mode if available.
3. The Smart Matrix Engine (3D Analysis)
The core of DSRTL is its dashboard, powered by the "Smart Matrix Engine." This engine evaluates the current price in a multi-layer market structure context (Static Volume Zones + Dynamic Channels + Volume Metrics).:
A. S-State (Static): Where is the price relative to the Volume S/R zones?
B. D-State (Dynamic): Where is the price relative to the Trend Channels?
How to read the Matrix Map:
The dashboard displays a 5x5 grid representing 25 possible market scenarios.
- Rows (S1-S5): Represent the Static State (S1=Breakout, S3=Mid-Range, S5=Breakdown).
- Columns (D1-D5): Represent the Dynamic State (D1=Overextended Up, D3=Neutral, D5=Overextended Down).
- Active Cell: Marked with a dot, indicating the specific intersection of price action and market structure.
4. Matrix Interpretations (The 25 Scenarios)

◆ DETAILS
The Strat is a trading methodology developed by Rob Smith that offers an objective approach to trading by focusing on the 3 universal scenarios regarding candle behavior:
SCENARIO ONE
The 1 Bar - Inside Bar: A candle that doesn't take out the highs or the lows of the previous candle; aka consolidation.
These are shown as gray candles by default.
SCENARIO TWO
The 2 Bar - Directional Bar: A candle that takes out one side of the previous candle; aka trending (or at least attempting to trend).
SCENARIO THREE
The 3 Bar - Outside Bar: A candle that takes out both sides of the previous candle; aka broadening formation.
In addition to Rob's 3 universal scenarios, this indicator identifies two variations of 2 bars:
Failed 2 up: A candle that takes out the high of the previous candle but closes bearish.
Failed 2 down: A candle that takes out the low of the previous candle but closes bullish.

Color 4 (2 up) - Default is aqua
Color 5 (2 down) - Default is white
◆ USAGE
It's recommended to use The Strat Lite with a top down analysis so you can find lower timeframe positions with higher timeframe context.
◇ TOP DOWN ANALYSIS
MONTHLY LEVELS
Starting on a monthly chart, the previous month's high and low are manually plotted.
WEEKLY LEVELS
Dropping down to a weekly chart, the previous week's high and low are manually plotted.
DAILY LEVELS
Dropping down to a daily chart, the previous day's high and low are manually plotted.
12H LEVELS
Dropping down to a 12h chart, the previous 12h's high and low are manually plotted.
ANALYSIS
The monthly low was broken, creating a lower low (aka a broadening formation), signalling potential exhaustion risk, which can be a catalyst for reversals. The daily candle that tested the monthly low closed as a Failed 2 Down—potentially an early sign of a reversal. With these 2 confluences, it's reasonable to expect the next daily candle to be a 2 Up. Now it's time to look for a lower timeframe entry.
◇ LOWER TIMEFRAME POSITION
HOURLY PRICE ACTION
Dropping down to an hourly chart, we're anticipating a 2 Up on the daily timeframe, so we're looking for a bullish pattern to enter a position long. I personally like the 6:00 AM UTC-5 hourly candle, as it's the midpoint of the day (for futures).
In this specific example, we see the opening gap was filled and there's a potential 2-1-2 bullish reversal set up.
At this point, price can either do one of 5 things:
Form another 1 (inside) candle
Form a 2 up (directional) candle
Form a 2 down (directional) candle
Form a 2 up, fail, and potentially flip to form a bearish 3 (outside) candle
Form a 2 down, fail, and potentially flip to form a bullish 3 (outside) candle
Knowing the finite potential outcomes helps us set up our positions, manage them accordingly, and flip bias if needed.
POSITION SETUP
Here we can set up a position long AND short. To go long, we set a buy stop at the 1h high and stop loss just below the 50% level of the inside candle; to go short, we set a sell stop at 1h low and stop loss just above the 50% level of the inside candle.
If the short gets triggered first, we can wait for price to move in our favor before cancelling the buy order. If the short becomes a failed 2 down, potentially reversing to become a bullish 3, we can either wait for the stop loss to trigger and for the long position to trigger OR we can move the buy stop to our short stop loss and move the long stop loss to the low of the 1h candle.
POSITION REFINEMENT
For an even tighter risk-to-reward, we can drop to a lower timeframe and look for setups that would be an early trigger of the 1h entry. Just know, the lower you go the more noise there is—increasing risk of getting stopped out before the 1h trigger.
Above are 30m refined entries.
In this example, the long buy stop was triggered. It closed bullish, so the sell stop order can be cancelled.
◇ TARGETS & POSITION MANAGEMENT
TARGETS
These depend on whether you intend to scalp, day trade, or swing trade, but targets are typically the highs of previous candles (when bullish) and lows of previous candles (when bearish). It's advised to be cautious of swing pivots as there's a risk of exhaustion and reversal at these levels.
In this example, the nearest target was the previous 12h high and the next target was the previous day high; if you're a swing trader, you could target previous week's high and previous month's high.
POSITION MANAGEMENT
This largely depends on your risk tolerance, but it's common to either:
Move stop loss slightly into profit
Trail stop loss behind higher highs (bullish) or lower lows (bearish)
Scale out of positions at potential pivot points, leaving a runner
Scale into positions on pullbacks on the way to target
◆ WRAP UP
As demonstrated, The Strat Lite offers a stripped down version of the Strat Assistant—making it visually simple for more experienced Strat traders. By following a top-down approach with The Strat methodology, you can find high probability setups and manage risk with relative ease.

NSF/NBF Boxes📘 NSF / NBF Extended Boxes (Wyckoff–VSA Smart Zones)
This indicator automatically detects No Supply (NSF) and No Buying / No Demand (NBF) bars using Wyckoff–VSA principles and marks them with extended boxes and a dashed 50% midline.
🟢 NSF (No Supply) — Bullish accumulation signal
🔴 NBF (No Demand) — Bearish distribution signal
Each box extends forward in time to highlight key supply/demand zones, while the dashed midline represents the equilibrium level within that bar.
When price later retests this 50% level, the script triggers a visual marker and an alert condition, helping you spot potential reversals or continuation confirmations.
🧠 Core Features
Automatic detection of No Supply / No Demand bars
Extended boxes with adjustable length and auto-extension
Midline (50%) retest alerts for precise trade timing
Optional EMA trend filter, volume check, and close bias
Works even on symbols without volume data (crypto, indices, FX)
“Test Mode” included for easy visualization and debugging
⚙️ Usage Tips
Use on 5m–4h charts for crypto or stocks to spot professional activity.
Combine with Wyckoff, VSA, or Smart Money Concepts to confirm accumulation/distribution phases.
Look for NSF retests near support in a downtrend → possible long entry.
Look for NBF retests near resistance in an uptrend → possible short entry.
🧩 Parameters
Ignore Volume: disables volume filters for markets with missing data
Use EMA Trend Filter: only confirm signals in direction of trend
Auto-extend Boxes: keeps zones projecting into future bars
Retest Alerts: triggers when price touches midline after formation
💡 Author’s Note
This tool visualizes the often-hidden behavior of smart money absorption and weak demand exhaustion.
Use it as part of a complete trading plan — not as a standalone buy/sell signal
Adaptive Convergence Divergence### Adaptive Convergence Divergence (ACD)
By Gurjit Singh
The Adaptive Convergence Divergence (ACD) reimagines the classic MACD by replacing fixed moving averages with adaptive moving averages. Instead of a static smoothing factor, it dynamically adjusts sensitivity based on price momentum, relative strength, volatility, fractal roughness, or volume pressure. This makes the oscillator more responsive in trending markets while filtering noise in choppy ranges.
#### 📌 Key Features
1. Dual Adaptive Structure: The oscillator uses two adaptive moving averages to form its convergence-divergence line, with EMA/RMA as signal line:
* Primary Adaptive (MA): Fast line, reacts quickly to changes.
* Following Adaptive (FAMA): Slow line, with half-alpha smoothing for confirmation.
2. Adaptive MA Types
* ACMO: Adaptive CMO (momentum)
* ARSI: Adaptive RSI (relative strength)
* FRMA: Fractal Roughness (volatility + fractal dimension)
* VOLA: Volume adaptive (volume pressure)
3. PPO Option: Switch between classic MACD or Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO) style calculation.
4. Signal Smoothing: Choose between EMA or Wilder’s RMA.
5. Visuals: Colored oscillator, signal line, histogram with adaptive transparency.
6. Alerts: Bullish/Bearish crossovers built-in.
#### 🔑 How to Use
1. Add to chart: Works on any timeframe and asset.
2. Choose MA Type: Experiment with ACMO, ARSI, FRMA, or VOLA depending on market regime.
3. Crossovers:
* Bullish (🐂): Oscillator crosses above signal → potential long entry.
* Bearish (🐻): Oscillator crosses below signal → potential short entry.
4. Histogram: expansion = strengthening trend; contraction = weakening trend.
5. Divergences:
* Bullish (hidden strength): Price pushes lower, but ACD turns higher = potential upward reversal.
* Bearish (hidden weakness): Price pushes higher, but ACD turns lower = potential downward reversal.
6. Customize: Adjust lengths, smoothing type, and PPO/MACD mode to match your style.
7. Set Alerts:
* Enable Bullish or Bearish crossover alerts to catch momentum shifts in real time.
#### 💡 Tips
* PPO mode normalizes values across assets, useful for cross-asset analysis.
* Wilder’s smoothing is gentler than EMA, reducing whipsaws in sideways conditions.
* Adaptive smoothing helps reduce false divergence signals by filtering noise in choppy ranges.
Strat Failed 2-Up/2-Down Scanner v2**Strat Failed 2-Up/2-Down Scanner**
The Strat Failed 2-Up/2-Down Scanner is designed for traders using The Strat methodology, developed by Rob Smith, to identify key reversal patterns in any market and timeframe. This indicator detects two specific candlestick patterns: Failed 2-Up (bearish) and Failed 2-Down (bullish), which signal potential reversals when a directional move fails to follow through.
**What It Does**
- **Failed 2-Up**: Identifies a bearish candle where the low and high are higher than the previous candle’s low and high, but the close is below the open, indicating a failed attempt to continue an uptrend. These are marked with a red candlestick, a red downward triangle above the bar, and a table entry.
- **Failed 2-Down**: Identifies a bullish candle where the high and low are lower than the previous candle’s high and low, but the close is above the open, signaling a failed downtrend. These are marked with a green candlestick, a green upward triangle below the bar, and a table entry.
- A table in the top-right corner displays the signal type ("Failed 2-Up" or "Failed 2-Down") and the ticker symbol for quick reference.
- Alerts are provided for both patterns, making the indicator compatible with TradingView’s screener for automated scanning.
**How It Works**
The indicator analyzes each candlestick’s high, low, and close relative to the previous candle:
- Failed 2-Up: `low > low `, `high > high `, `close < open`.
- Failed 2-Down: `high < high `, `low < low `, `close > open`.
When these conditions are met, the indicator applies visual markers (colored bars and triangles) and updates the signal table. Alert conditions trigger notifications for integration with TradingView’s alert system.
**How to Use**
1. Apply the indicator to any chart (stocks, forex, crypto, etc.) on any timeframe (e.g., 1-minute, hourly, daily).
2. Monitor the chart for red (Failed 2-Up) or green (Failed 2-Down) candlesticks with corresponding triangles.
3. Check the top-right table for the latest signal and ticker.
4. Set alerts by selecting “Failed 2-Up Detected” or “Failed 2-Down Detected” in TradingView’s alert menu to receive notifications (e.g., via email or app).
5. Use the signals to identify potential reversal setups in conjunction with other Strat-based analysis, such as swing levels or time-based strategies.
**Originality**
Unlike other Strat indicators that may focus on swing levels or complex candlestick combinations, this scanner specifically targets Failed 2-Up and Failed 2-Down patterns with clear, minimalist visualizations (bars, triangles, table) and robust alert functionality. Its simplicity makes it accessible for both novice and experienced traders using The Strat methodology.
**Ideal For**
Day traders, swing traders, and scalpers looking to capitalize on reversal signals in trending or ranging markets. The indicator is versatile for any asset class and timeframe, enhancing trade decision-making with The Strat’s pattern-based approach.

Price Lag Factor (PLF)📊 Price Lag Factor (PLF) for Crypto Traders: A Comprehensive Breakdown
The Price Lag Factor (PLF) is a momentum indicator designed to identify overextended price movements and gauge market momentum. It is particularly optimized for the crypto market, which is known for its high volatility and rapid trend shifts.
🔎 What is the Price Lag Factor (PLF)?
The PLF measures the difference between long-term and short-term price momentum and scales it dynamically based on recent volatility. This helps traders identify when the market might be overbought or oversold while filtering out noise.
The formula used in the PLF calculation is:
PLF = (Z-Long - Z-Short) / Stdev(PLF)
Where:
Z-long: Z-score of the long-term moving average (50-period by default).
Z-short: Z-score of the short-term moving average (14-period by default).
Stdev(PLF): Standard deviation of the PLF over a longer period (50-period by default).
🧠 How to Interpret the PLF:
1. Trend Direction:
Positive PLF (Green Bars): Indicates bullish momentum. The long-term trend is up, and short-term movements are confirming it.
Negative PLF (Red Bars): Indicates bearish momentum. The long-term trend is down, and short-term movements are consistent with it.
2. Momentum Strength:
PLF near Zero (±0.5): Low momentum; trend direction is not strong.
PLF between ±1 and ±2: Moderate momentum, indicating that the market is moving with strength but not in an overextended state.
PLF beyond ±2: High momentum (overbought/oversold), indicating potential trend exhaustion and a possible reversal.
📈 Trading Strategies:
1. Trend Following:
Bullish Signal:
Enter long when PLF crosses above 0 and remains green.
Confirm with other indicators like RSI or MACD to reduce false signals.
Bearish Signal:
Enter short when PLF crosses below 0 and remains red.
Use trend confirmation (e.g., moving average crossover) for better accuracy.
2. Reversal Trading:
Overbought Signal:
If PLF rises above +2, look for signs of bearish divergence or a reversal pattern to consider a short entry.
Oversold Signal:
If PLF falls below -2, watch for bullish divergence or a support bounce to consider a long entry.
3. Momentum Divergence:
Bullish Divergence:
Price makes a lower low while PLF makes a higher low.
Indicates weakening bearish momentum and a potential bullish reversal.
Bearish Divergence:
Price makes a higher high while PLF makes a lower high.
Signals weakening bullish momentum and a potential bearish reversal.
💡 Best Practices:
Combine with Volume:
Volume spikes during high PLF readings can confirm trend continuation.
Low volume during PLF extremes may hint at false breakouts.
Watch for Extreme Levels:
PLF beyond ±2 suggests overextended price action. Use caution when entering new positions.
Confirm with Other Indicators:
Use with Relative Strength Index (RSI) or Bollinger Bands to get a better sense of overbought/oversold conditions.
Overlay with a moving average to gauge trend consistency.
🚀 Why the PLF Works for Crypto:
Crypto markets are highly volatile and prone to rapid trend changes. The PLF's adaptive scaling ensures it remains relevant regardless of market conditions.
It highlights momentum shifts more accurately than static indicators because it accounts for changing volatility in its calculation.
🚨 Disclaimer for Traders Using the Price Lag Factor (PLF) Indicator:
The Price Lag Factor (PLF) indicator is designed as a technical analysis tool to gauge momentum and identify potential overbought or oversold conditions. However, it should not be relied upon as a sole decision-making factor for trading or investing.
Important Points to Consider:
Market Risk: Trading cryptocurrencies and other financial assets involves significant risk. The PLF may not accurately predict future price movements, especially during unexpected market events.
Indicator Limitations: No technical indicator, including the PLF, is infallible. False signals can occur, particularly in low-volume or highly volatile conditions.
Supplementary Analysis: Always combine PLF insights with other technical indicators, fundamental analysis, and risk management strategies to make informed decisions.
Personal Judgment: Traders should use their own discretion when interpreting PLF signals and never trade based solely on this indicator.
No Guarantees: The PLF is designed for educational and informational purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Always perform thorough research and consider consulting with a professional financial advisor before making any trading decisions.
TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge// The TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge is a trend-following indicator that combines Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) with Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, specifically Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS), to generate precise buy and sell signals. This unique mashup leverages the strengths of trend confirmation through SMAs and market structure analysis via ICT to help traders identify high-probability trend entries. The indicator is designed to be intuitive, customizable, and suitable for traders of all levels seeking to align with market trends on various timeframes.
//
// ### What It Does
// The indicator plots two SMAs based on the high and low prices of candles to define the trend direction. It colors the SMAs and fills the area between them to visually indicate whether the price is in a bullish (above both SMAs), bearish (below both SMAs), or neutral (between SMAs) state. Simultaneously, it identifies BOS and MSS levels on a user-defined higher timeframe to confirm trend continuation or reversal points. Buy and sell signals are generated when the price closes above/below the latest BOS or MSS level (based on user preference) while also being correctly positioned relative to the SMAs, ensuring alignment with the trend.
//
// ### Why Combine SMAs and ICT?
// SMAs provide a reliable way to gauge trend direction by smoothing price data, but they can lag or generate false signals in choppy markets. ICT's BOS and MSS concepts address this by focusing on key market structure breaks, offering context for significant price movements. By requiring price to close beyond a BOS or MSS level and align with the SMA-defined trend, the TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge filters out noise and enhances signal reliability. This combination creates a robust system that balances trend-following simplicity with structural market insights, making it ideal for trend traders.
//
// ### How to Use
// 1. **SMA Length**: Adjust the `SMA Length` (default: 20) to control the sensitivity of the SMAs. Shorter lengths react faster to price changes, while longer lengths provide smoother trends.
// 2. **Structure Timeframe**: Set the `Structure Timeframe` to a higher timeframe (e.g., "1H" on a 15M chart) to calculate BOS and MSS levels. This ensures structural signals are based on significant market moves.
// 3. **Chart Timeframe**: Select the `Chart Timeframe` to optimize pivot point calculations for your current chart (e.g., "30M" for a 30-minute chart).
// 4. **Signal Type**: Choose between "BOS" (default) for signals based on trend continuation breaks or "MSS" for signals based on potential reversal points (breakers).
// 5. **Display Options**: Enable/disable `Show Continuation (BOS)` and `Show Breaker (MSS)` to toggle the visibility of BOS and MSS lines. Customize their colors for better chart clarity.
//
// ### Signals
// - **Buy Signal**: Appears when the close price crosses above the latest BOS or MSS level (based on Signal Type) and is above both SMAs, indicating a bullish trend entry. Marked with a green "Buy" label.
// - **Sell Signal**: Appears when the close price crosses below the latest BOS or MSS level (based on Signal Type) and is below both SMAs, indicating a bearish trend entry. Marked with a red "Sell" label.
//
// ### Originality
// The TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge stands out by integrating the trend-following reliability of SMAs with the structural precision of ICT's BOS and MSS. Unlike standalone SMA or ICT indicators, this script requires both trend alignment and structural confirmation, reducing false signals. The user-selectable Signal Type (BOS or MSS) adds versatility, allowing traders to adapt the indicator to trend-following or counter-trend strategies. Its dynamic timeframe adjustments and visual clarity make it a unique tool for traders seeking to capture trend entries with confidence.
//
// ### Notes
// - Ensure the `Structure Timeframe` is higher than your chart timeframe to avoid calculation issues.
// - Signals are generated only when the trend state changes to avoid redundant signals in the same trend direction.
// - Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always combine this indicator with other analysis and risk management techniques.
Reversal + Confirm ZonesThis script is written in Pine Script (version 5) for TradingView and creates an indicator called **"Reversal + Confirm Zones"**. It overlays visual zones on a price chart to identify potential reversal points and confirmation signals for trading. The indicator combines **Bollinger Bands** and **RSI** to detect overbought/oversold conditions (reversal zones) and uses **EMA crosses** and **MACD zero-line crosses** to confirm bullish or bearish trends. Below is a detailed explanation:
---
### **1. Purpose**
- The script highlights:
- **Reversal Zones**: Areas where the price might reverse due to being overbought (green) or oversold (red).
- **Confirmation Zones**: Areas where a trend reversal is confirmed using EMA and MACD signals (green for bullish, red for bearish).
- It provides visual backgrounds and alerts to assist traders in spotting potential trade setups.
---
### **2. Components**
The script is divided into two main parts: **Reversal Logic** and **Confirmation Logic**.
---
### **3. Reversal Logic (Red & Green Zones)**
#### **Bollinger Bands**
- **Parameters**:
- Length: 20 periods.
- Source: Closing price (`close`).
- Multiplier: 2.0 (standard deviations).
- **Calculation**:
- `basis`: 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA).
- `dev`: 2 times the standard deviation of the price over 20 periods.
- `upper`: `basis + dev` (upper band).
- `lower`: `basis - dev` (lower band).
- **Purpose**: Identifies when the price moves outside the normal range (beyond 2 standard deviations).
#### **Relative Strength Index (RSI)**
- **Parameters**:
- Length: 14 periods.
- Low Threshold: 30 (oversold).
- High Threshold: 70 (overbought).
- **Calculation**: `rsiValue = ta.rsi(close, rsiLength)`.
- **Purpose**: Measures momentum to confirm overbought or oversold conditions.
#### **Zone Conditions**
- **Red Zone (Oversold)**:
- Condition: `close < lower` (price below lower Bollinger Band) AND `rsiValue < rsiLowThreshold` (RSI < 30).
- Visual: Light red background (`color.new(color.red, 80)`).
- Alert: "Deep Oversold Signal triggered!".
- **Green Zone (Overbought)**:
- Condition: `close > upper` (price above upper Bollinger Band) AND `rsiValue > rsiHighThreshold` (RSI > 70).
- Visual: Light green background (`color.new(color.green, 80)`).
- Alert: "Deep Overbought Signal triggered!".
#### **Interpretation**
- Red Zone: Suggests the price is oversold and may reverse upward.
- Green Zone: Suggests the price is overbought and may reverse downward.
---
### **4. Confirmation Logic (EMA and MACD Crosses)**
#### **Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)**
- **Parameters**:
- Short EMA Length: 9 periods (user adjustable).
- Long EMA Length: 21 periods (user adjustable).
- **Calculation**:
- `emaShort = ta.ema(close, emaShortLength)`.
- `emaLong = ta.ema(close, emaLongLength)`.
- **Conditions**:
- **Bullish EMA Cross**: `emaCrossBullish = ta.crossover(emaShort, emaLong)` (9 EMA crosses above 21 EMA).
- **Bearish EMA Cross**: `emaCrossBearish = ta.crossunder(emaShort, emaLong)` (9 EMA crosses below 21 EMA).
#### **MACD**
- **Parameters**:
- Fast Length: 12 periods (user adjustable).
- Slow Length: 26 periods (user adjustable).
- Signal Smoothing: 9 periods (user adjustable).
- **Calculation**:
- ` = ta.macd(close, macdFastLength, macdSlowLength, macdSignalSmoothing)`.
- Only the MACD line and signal line are used; the histogram is ignored (`_`).
- **Conditions**:
- **Bullish MACD Cross**: `macdCrossBullish = ta.crossover(macdLine, 0)` (MACD crosses above zero).
- **Bearish MACD Cross**: `macdCrossBearish = ta.crossunder(macdLine, 0)` (MACD crosses below zero).
#### **Combined Confirmation Conditions**
- **Bullish Confirmation**:
- Condition: `bullishConfirmation = emaCrossBullish and macdCrossBullish`.
- Visual: Very light green background (`color.new(color.green, 90)`).
- Meaning: A bullish trend is confirmed when the 9 EMA crosses above the 21 EMA AND the MACD crosses above zero.
- **Bearish Confirmation**:
- Condition: `bearishConfirmation = emaCrossBearish and macdCrossBearish`.
- Visual: Very light red background (`color.new(color.red, 90)`).
- Meaning: A bearish trend is confirmed when the 9 EMA crosses below the 21 EMA AND the MACD crosses below zero.
---
### **5. Visual Outputs**
- **Reversal Zones**:
- Red background for oversold conditions.
- Green background for overbought conditions.
- **Confirmation Zones**:
- Light green background for bullish confirmation.
- Light red background for bearish confirmation.
- Note: The script does not plot the Bollinger Bands, EMAs, or MACD lines—only the background zones are visualized.
---
### **6. Alerts**
- **Deep Oversold Alert**: Triggers when the red zone condition is met.
- **Deep Overbought Alert**: Triggers when the green zone condition is met.
- No alerts are set for the confirmation zones (EMA/MACD crosses).
---
### **7. How It Works**
1. **Reversal Detection**:
- The script uses Bollinger Bands and RSI to flag extreme price levels (red for oversold, green for overbought).
- These zones suggest potential reversals but are not confirmed yet.
2. **Trend Confirmation**:
- EMA crosses (9/21) and MACD zero-line crosses provide confirmation of a trend direction.
- Bullish confirmation (green) occurs when both indicators align upward.
- Bearish confirmation (red) occurs when both indicators align downward.
3. **Trading Strategy**:
- Look for a red zone (oversold) followed by a bullish confirmation for a potential long entry.
- Look for a green zone (overbought) followed by a bearish confirmation for a potential short entry.
---
### **8. How to Use**
1. Add the script to TradingView.
2. Adjust inputs (EMA lengths, MACD settings) if desired.
3. Monitor the chart:
- Red zones indicate oversold conditions—watch for a potential upward reversal.
- Green zones indicate overbought conditions—watch for a potential downward reversal.
- Light green/red backgrounds confirm the trend direction after a reversal zone.
4. Set up alerts for oversold/overbought conditions to catch reversal signals early.
---
### **9. Key Features**
- **Dual Purpose**: Combines reversal detection (Bollinger Bands + RSI) with trend confirmation (EMA + MACD).
- **Visual Simplicity**: Uses background colors instead of plotting lines, keeping the chart clean.
- **Customizable**: Allows users to tweak EMA and MACD periods.
- **Alerts**: Notifies users of extreme conditions for timely action.
---
### **10. Limitations**
- No plotted indicators (e.g., Bollinger Bands, EMAs, MACD) for visual reference—relies entirely on background shading.
- Confirmation signals (EMA/MACD) may lag behind reversal zones, potentially missing fast reversals.
- No alerts for confirmation zones, limiting real-time notification of trend confirmation.
This script is ideal for traders who want a straightforward way to spot potential reversals and confirm them with trend-following indicators, all overlaid on the price chart.
Equity Curve with Trend Indicator (Long & Short) - SimulationOverview:
Market Regime Detector via Virtual Equity Curve is a unique indicator that simulates the performance of a trend-following trading system—incorporating both long and short trades—to help you identify prevailing market regimes. By generating a “virtual equity” curve based on simple trend signals and applying trend analysis directly on that curve, this indicator visually differentiates trending regimes from mean-reverting (or sideways) periods. The result is an intuitive display where green areas indicate a trending (bullish) regime (i.e., where trend-following strategies are likely to perform well) and red areas indicate a mean-reverting (bearish) regime.
Features:
Simulated Trade Performance:
Uses a built-in trend-following logic (a simple 10/50 SMA crossover example) to simulate both long and short trades. This simulation creates a virtual equity curve that reflects the cumulative performance of the system over time.
Equity Trend Analysis:
Applies an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to the simulated equity curve to filter short-term noise. The EMA acts as a trend filter, enabling the indicator to determine if the equity curve is in an upward (trending) or downward (mean-reverting) phase.
Dynamic Visual Regime Detection:
Fills the area between the equity curve and its EMA with green when the equity is above the EMA (indicating a healthy trending regime) and red when below (indicating a mean-reverting or underperforming regime).
Customizable Parameters:
Easily adjust the initial capital, the length of the equity EMA, and other settings to tailor the simulation and visual output to your trading style and market preferences.
How It Works:
Trade Simulation:
The indicator generates trading signals using a simple SMA crossover:
When the 10-period SMA is above the 50-period SMA, it simulates a long entry.
When the 10-period SMA is below the 50-period SMA, it simulates a short entry. The virtual equity is updated bar-by-bar based on these simulated positions.
Equity Trend Filtering:
An EMA is calculated on the simulated equity curve to smooth out fluctuations. The relative position of the equity curve versus its EMA is then used as a proxy for the market regime:
Bullish Regime: Equity is above its EMA → fill area in green.
Bearish Regime: Equity is below its EMA → fill area in red.
Visualization:
The indicator plots:
A gray line representing the simulated equity curve.
An orange line for the EMA of the equity curve.
A dynamic fill between the two lines, colored green or red based on the prevailing regime.
Inputs & Customization:
Initial Capital: Set your starting virtual account balance (default: 10,000 USD).
Equity EMA Length: Specify the lookback period for the EMA applied to the equity curve (default: 30).
Trend Signal Logic:
The current implementation uses a simple SMA crossover for demonstration purposes. Users can modify or replace this logic with their own trend-following indicator to tailor the simulation further.
True Strength Index with Zones & AlertsKey Features:
True Strength Index (TSI) Calculation
Uses double-smoothed exponential moving averages (EMA) to calculate TSI.
A signal line (EMA of TSI) helps confirm trends.
Dynamic Color Coding for TSI Line
Green: TSI is above the signal line (Bullish).
Red: TSI is below the signal line (Bearish).
Crossover & Crossunder Signals
Bullish Crossover (TSI crosses above Signal Line) → Green Circle.
Bearish Crossunder (TSI crosses below Signal Line) → Red Circle.
Alerts for Trading Signals
Buy Alert: TSI crosses above the signal line.
Sell Alert: TSI crosses below the signal line.
Overbought & Oversold Zones
Overbought: Between 40 and 50 (Red Zone).
Oversold: Between -40 and -50 (Green Zone).
Highlighted Background when TSI enters these zones.
Neutral Line at 0
Helps determine trend direction and momentum shifts.
How to Use These Values:
• TSI Crosses Above Signal Line → Bullish entry.
• TSI Crosses Below Signal Line → Bearish entry.
• Overbought (+40 to +50) & Oversold (-40 to -50) zones → Watch for trend reversals.
• Divergence Signals → If price makes a new high/low but TSI doesn’t, momentum is weakening.

Parabolic SAR Crosses_AITIndicator Name: Parabolic SAR Crosses_AIT
Purpose:
This indicator utilizes the Parabolic SAR to track price trends and generate buy (long) and sell (short) signals when the price crosses the Parabolic SAR line. The indicator is designed to help traders identify trend direction and potential trend reversals on the price chart.
Indicator Overview:
Indicator Parameters:
Parabolic SAR: The default settings for the Parabolic SAR are:
Step: 0.02
Maximum: 0.2 These values can be adjusted by the user to control the sensitivity of the SAR.
Signal Conditions:
Buy Signal (Long): A buy signal is generated when the price crosses above the Parabolic SAR line.
Sell Signal (Short): A sell signal is generated when the price crosses below the Parabolic SAR line.
How It Works:
Buy Signal:
When the price crosses above the Parabolic SAR line, it indicates a potential upward trend. A yellow triangle (L) will appear below the price bar, signaling a possible long entry.
Sell Signal:
When the price crosses below the Parabolic SAR line, it indicates a potential downward trend. A fuchsia triangle (S) will appear above the price bar, signaling a possible short entry.
Trend Detection:
Green Line: Indicates that the Parabolic SAR is below the price, suggesting an uptrend.
Red Line: Indicates that the Parabolic SAR is above the price, suggesting a downtrend.
Trend Reversal:
A trend reversal occurs when the Parabolic SAR switches positions relative to the price. This can be used to exit positions or enter positions in the opposite direction.
Customization:
Step Size: The step parameter controls how sensitive the Parabolic SAR is to price changes. A smaller step value (e.g., 0.01) makes the SAR less sensitive, while a larger step value (e.g., 0.05) makes it more sensitive.
Maximum: The maximum value defines the upper limit for the acceleration factor in the SAR calculation. A higher value allows the SAR to track the price more closely, while a lower value smooths the trend.
Visual Representation:
The Parabolic SAR line is plotted directly on the price chart as a solid line, using the appropriate colors (green or red) depending on the trend direction.
Long signals are indicated by small yellow triangles (L) below the price.
Short signals are indicated by small fuchsia triangles (S) above the price.
Usage Tips:
Combining with Other Indicators: While Parabolic SAR is a great tool for identifying trend direction, it may produce false signals in ranging or sideways markets. Combining this indicator with other trend confirmation tools, such as moving averages or the MACD, can improve its reliability.
Adjusting the Step and Maximum Values: In highly volatile markets, it might be useful to reduce the step value to avoid false signals. In more stable, trending markets, increasing the step value can make the SAR more responsive.
Position Management: Parabolic SAR can be used not only to enter trades but also to manage existing positions by acting as a trailing stop-loss. You can use the SAR value as a dynamic stop-loss level, adjusting it as the trend progresses.
Conclusion:
The Parabolic SAR Crosses_AIT indicator helps traders visually identify trend directions and possible trend reversals by plotting the Parabolic SAR directly on the price chart. With customizable settings for sensitivity and signals that indicate long or short positions, this indicator provides a clear and effective method to manage trades based on trend-following strategies.
Enhanced BOS Strategy with SL/TP and EMA TableDescription:
The Enhanced BOS (Break of Structure) Strategy is an advanced open-source trading indicator designed to identify key market structure changes, integrated with dynamic Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels, along with an informative EMA (Exponential Moving Average) table for added trend analysis.
Key Features:
Break of Structure (BOS) Detection:
The script detects bullish and bearish BOS by identifying pivot points using a custom pivot period. When the price crosses above or below these points, it signals a potential market trend reversal or continuation.
Dynamic SL/TP Levels:
Users can toggle static SL/TP settings, which automatically calculate levels based on user-defined points. These levels are visualized on the chart with dotted lines and labeled for clarity.
Volume Filters:
The strategy includes a volume condition filter to ensure that only trades within a specified volume range are considered. This helps in avoiding low-volume trades that might lead to false signals.
EMA Table Display:
An on-chart table displaying the current values of the 13-period, 50-period, and 200-period EMAs. This provides a quick reference for trend identification and confirmation, helping traders to stay aligned with the broader market trend.
How It Works:
The script utilizes a combination of moving averages and pivot points to identify potential breakouts or breakdowns in market structure. When a bullish BOS is detected, and the volume conditions are met, the strategy suggests a long position, marking potential SL/TP levels. Similarly, it suggests short positions for bearish BOS.
The EMA table serves as a visual aid, providing real-time updates of the EMA values, allowing traders to gauge the market’s directional bias quickly.
How to Use:
Setting Parameters:
Adjust the pivot period to fine-tune BOS detection according to your trading style and the asset’s volatility.
Configure the SL/TP settings based on your risk tolerance and target profit levels.
Interpreting Signals:
A “Buy” label on the chart indicates a bullish BOS with volume confirmation, signaling a potential long entry.
A “Sell” label indicates a bearish BOS with volume confirmation, signaling a potential short entry.
The EMA table aids in confirming these signals, where the position of the fast, mid, and slow EMAs can provide additional context to the trend’s strength and direction.
Volume Filtering:
Ensure your trades are filtered through the script’s volume condition, which allows for the exclusion of low-volume periods that might generate unreliable signals.
Unique Value:
Unlike many other BOS strategies, this script integrates volume conditions and a visual EMA table, providing a comprehensive toolkit for traders looking to capture market structure shifts while maintaining an eye on trend direction and trade execution precision.
Additional Information:
This script is designed for use on standard bar or candlestick charts for best results.
It is open-source and free to use, encouraging collaboration and improvement by the TradingView community.
By combining powerful trend-following EMAs with the precision of BOS detection and the safety of volume filtering, the Enhanced BOS Strategy offers a balanced approach to trading market structure changes.

Stochastic RSI (STOCH RSI)
Definition
The Stochastic RSI indicator (Stoch RSI) is essentially an indicator of an indicator. It is used in technical analysis to provide a stochastic calculation to the RSI indicator. This means that it is a measure of RSI relative to its own high/low range over a user defined period of time. The Stochastic RSI is an oscillator that calculates a value between 0 and 1 which is then plotted as a line. This indicator is primarily used for identifying overbought and oversold conditions.
The basics
It is important to remember that the Stoch RSI is an indicator of an indicator making it two steps away from price. RSI is one step away from price and therefore a stochastic calculation of the RSI is two steps away. This is important because as with any indicator that is multiple steps away from price, Stoch RSI can have brief disconnects from actual price movement. That being said, as a range bound indicator, the Stoch RSI's primary function is identifying crossovers as well as overbought and oversold conditions.

That being said, as a range bound indicator, the Stoch RSI's primary function is identifying crossovers as well as overbought and oversold conditions.
Overbought/Oversold
Overbought and Oversold conditions are traditionally different than the RSI. While RSI overbought and oversold conditions are traditionally set at 70 for overbought and 30 for oversold, Stoch RSI are typically .80 and .20 respectively. When using the Stoch RSI, overbought and oversold work best when trading along with the underlying trend.
During an uptrend, look for oversold conditions for points of entry.
During a downtrend, look for overbought conditions for points of entry.
Summary
When using Stoch RSI in technical analysis, a trader should be careful. By adding the Stochastic calculation to RSI, speed is greatly increased. This can generate many more signals and therefore more bad signals as well as the good ones. Stoch RSI needs to be combined with additional tools or indicators in order to be at its most effective. Using trend lines or basic chart pattern analysis can help to identify major, underlying trends and increase the Stoch RSI's accuracy. Using Stoch RSI to make trades that go against the underlying trend is a dangerous proposition.
The added features to the indicator are made for training, it is advisable to use it with caution in tradings.
Stock Tech Bot One ViewTechnical indicators are not limited. Hence, here is another indicator with the combination of OBV, RSI, and MACD along with support, and resistance that follows the price while honoring the moving average of 200, 90 & 50.
The default lookback period of this indicator is 21 though it is changeable as per the user's desire.
The highest high and lowest low for the last 21 days lookback period proven to be the perfect Support & Resistance as the price of particular stock values are decided by market psychology. The support and resistance lines are very important to understand the market psychology which is very well proven with price action patterns and the lines are drawn based on,
Lower Extreme = 0.1 (Changeable)
Maximum Range = 21 days highest high - 21 days lowest low.
Support Line = 21 days lowest low + (Maximum Range * Lower Extreme)
Resistance Line = 21 days highest high - (Maximum Range * Lower Extreme)
RSI - Relative strength indicator is very famous to find the market momentum within the range of 0 - 100. Though the lookback period is changeable, the 14 days lookback period is the perfect match as the momentum of market movement for the last 3 weeks will always assist to identify the market regime. Here the momentum is just to highlight the indication (green up arrow under the candle for long and red down arrow above the candle for short) of market movement though it is not very important to consider if the price of the stock respect the support & resistance lines along with volume indicator (* = violet color).
OBV - Momentum:
The on-balance volume is always going indicator on any kind of tickers, which helps to identify the buying interest. Now, applying momentum on OBV with the positive movement for at least two consecutive days gives perfect confirmation for entry. A combination of the price along with this momentum(OBV) in the chart will help us to know the whipsaw in the price.
The Symbol "*" on top of each bar shows the market interest in that particular stock. If your ticker is fundamentally strong then you can see this "*" even when the market falls.
MACD:
One of the favorites and simple indicators widely used, where the thump of the rule is not to change the length even if it is allowed. It's OK to believe blindly in certain indicator and consider it while trading. That's why the indicator changes the bar color by following the MACD histogram.
Volume:
It may be the OBV works based on the open price and close price along with volume movement, it is wise to have the volume that is plotted along with price movement that should help you to decide whether the market is greedy or fearful.
The symbol "-" on top of each bar tells you a lot and don't ignore it.
Moving Average:
Moving average is a very good trend indicator as everyone considers seeing along with the price in the chart which is not omitted while we gauge the price movement alone with volume in this indicator. The 200, 90 & 50 MA's are everyone's favorite, and the same is plotted on the chart.
As explained above, the combination of all four indicators with price movement will give us very good confidence to take entry.
Candlestick Pattern:
You should admire the techniques of the candlestick pattern as you navigate the chart from right to left. Though there are a lot of patterns that exist, it is easy to enable and disable to view the signal as the label.
Further, last but not least, the exit always depends on individual conviction and how often the individual watch the price movement, if your conviction is strong then follow the down arrow red indication. If not, then exit with a trailing stop that indicates the bar with orange color.
Happy investing

My thinking was that this would create a more accurate portrayal of price action (or at least contain the greatest scope of it) as seen through the lens of a Donchian Channel. This was actually part of the genesis of my idea around my Ultimate Moving Average.
Besides the single top and bottom plot for the DC's extremities, I've enabled the ability to create outer bands with a variable width that the user can adjust to their preference. I think it's quite nice. I use it in the DC in my other non-overlay indicators.
Besides this additional functionality, the indicator has options to plot lines between the basis and the upper and lower bands, so, basically, splitting the upper and lower channel in half.
There is no magic number to the lookback. I chose 233 as default because it's a fibonacci sequence number and I'm more interested in using the DC like a very long period bias indicator, and the longer lookback gives a much wider window (because highs and lows are so spread apart) with which other faster indicators (supertrend, shorter period moving averages, etc.) can work without making the screen a clutter.
The color of the basis may also be made relevant to higher timeframe information. What I mean by this is that you can set it so that the basis of the current timeframe is colored based on the candle close of the higher timeframe of your choosing. If you're looking at an hourly chart, and you set the color to Daily, the basis will be colored based on the candle close (above or below the basis) of the previous day. If the previous daily close was above the basis, that positive color will be reflected in the basis, even if the current hourly candle closes are below the hourly basis. This could potentially be useful for setting a higher timeframe directional bias and reacting off price crossing the lower timeframe basis (or whatever your trigger for entering a trade might be). This is also optional in my Ultimate Moving Average indicator.
You can also set the entire indicator to whatever time frame you want if you want to see where the actual basis, or other levels are on that higher timeframe.
Further additions include fibonacci retracement levels. These are calculated off the high and the low of the Donchian Channels themselves.
You will see that there are only three retracement levels (.786, .705, .382), one of which is not a fib level, but what some people call the 'OTE,' or optimal trade entry. If you want more info on the OTE just web search it. So, why no .618 or .236? Reason being that the .618 overlaps the .382, and the .236 is extremely close to the .786. This sounds confusing, but the retracement levels I'm using are derived from the high and low, so it was unnecessary to have all five levels from each. I could have just calculated from the high, or just from the low, and used all the levels, but I chose to just calculate three levels from the high and three from the low because that gives a sort of mirror image balance, and that appeals to me, and the utility of the indicator is the same.
The plot lines are all colored, and I've filled certain zones between them. There is a center zone filled between both .382 levels, and an upper and lower zone filled between the .786 and either the high or the low.
If you like the colored zones, but don't like the plots because they cause screen compression, turn off the plots under the "style" tab.
There are alerts for candle closes across every line.
I should state that, regarding the fibs, obviously the length of the Channels is going to affect to what levels price retraces to. A shorter lookback means you will see more changes in highs and lows, and therefore retraces are often going to be full retraces within the bands unless price is trending hard. A longer lookback means you will see smaller retraces. Using this in conjunction with key high timeframe levels and/or a moving average can give great confidence in a trade entry. Additionally, if you have a short bias it may help in finding levels or entering a trade on a pullback. It could also be good for trade targets. But again, the lookback you choose for this indicator is going to dictate its use in the system you're building or already have. A 9 EMA and a 200 EMA, while fundamentally the same, are going to be used somewhat differently while doing your chart analysis.

Vortex HeikinThis indicator use macd crossover plus vortex and heikin candle to find the best spot entry.
There a lot to improve if you want, it's only a starting point.
You can change Vortex indicator with ADX indicator to find a better spot, but there could be more false entry.
[JL] High-Low Five LayersI just want to setup alert easily so I made this script.
Display five layers from highest to lowest.
Default length is 120. When on hour chart it is the whole week.
For up trend, always below 40% to entry.
For dn trend, always above 60% to entry.
EBB & Flow: a multi-EMA-based BB cloudIntro
This is an idea evolved out of the market maker method and EMA convergence, divergence, and mean reversion.
The market maker method informs us that the 5, 13, 50 and 200 EMAs are important to regulating price. Those EMA lengths are multiples of the 50 and 200 on lower major timeframes -- the 1 minute, 5, 15, 1H, 4H, 1D. I include the 21 because it is also a multiple and in crypto very often respected.
When market makers are testing price, they set their range and spike in the direction they test for liquidity. This can get chaotic. For instance, in a shorter time frame consolidation inside a bigger timeframe uptrend, it can be too easy to forget where you are in the many trends playing out.
When the EMAs are dragged over each other during normal price movement, you get these crisscrossing tracks of price, and the individual breaks can be hard to trace.
The range is what matters, ultimately, and the range is dynamic. In that case, the Bollinger Band is a great tool for detecting outliers in this case.
The Answer
So the answer this indicator seeks to give, is to look for outliers. This gives you a scalping strategy built on Traders Reality thinking and best put together with the PVSRA indicator, which I may include in this indicator just for the sake of concision, but they can work alongside each other or separately.
The key thing is the different EMA clouds, which are bollinger bands. Tight bands mean imminent breaks, favouring the trend. Vector candles out of a zone, pins to the low/high, etc. are all very relevant alongside this indicator.
You can also use it on its own and scalp the breaks of a cloud.
How it works
Each cloud is a standard deviation from their respective EMA, all in the same colour. The deviation multiple is 1.618 by default. Yes, fibonacci sequences are usually nonsense, but it works better with the BB than 2, 2.5 or 3.
Using just the clouds, you can see where each EMA is headed and how it behaves within the deviation of the others.
But that on its own isn't enough.
The indicator will also print snowflakes above and below the candle for notable outliers. It will be in the colour of the cloud it breaks, but only if that break is also breaking the smaller EMA clouds too.
The most snowflakes will be yellow because that's the 13 EMA. That one is dependent on nothing else and every break will print a snowflake. The 21 will be dependent on the 13. The 50 dependent on the 13 and 21 breaks. The 200 the most important.
For example, if the 200 EMA-BB or EBB is broken at the upper band, deviating by more than 162% of price over a 200 period EMA, and that break is not above the 50 EMA cloud, there will be no snowflake. However, if it exceeds the 13, 21, 50, and 200 clouds, then a purple snowflake will appear above the bar.
Any snowflake is an extreme in price. The purple is an especially good point of entry. That doesn't mean it is a perfect entry. You can build position from it, though, and be relatively certain of a price correction in the near future, because not only was this major EMA cloud violated, but all of the smaller ones too.
Reminder
You still need your PVSRA and candlesticks. This indicator on its own may have a nice hit rate for scalping and building position, as an alternative to the TDI or alongside it, but it is not enough on its own, just like the TDI.
Enjoy!
ScalpyScalpy is made up of a 2 main parts.
- The cloud comprising of a 10 period SMA and a 30 period SMA.
- When the cloud is green you should be looking for long entries.
- When the cloud is red you should be looking for short entries.
- Price is most bullish above a green cloud and most bearish below a red cloud.
- Being within the cloud indicates indecision.
The blue and white lines on the indicator show the relationship between price and momentum.
They can be used to spot reversals in two ways:
- The first is a divergence between price (blue line) and RSI (white line)
- If the price makes a lower low but the RSI makes a higher low this shows the trend is weakening and may be reversing soon (as can be seen by the two yellow lines on the chart).
The second is a simple crossover:
- When the white line crosses the blue line to the upside this signals a long entry.
- When the white line crosses the blue line to the downside this signals a short entry.
Hoffman A/D BreakoutStudy based on Rob Hoffman's Accumulation/Distribution Breakout strategy.
- Green circle on the top wick indicates a "Distribution" wick
- Red circle on the bottom wick indicates an "Accumulation" wick
- A distribution wick in an uptrend gets marked as a Key Resistance. This is marked with green crosses
- An Accumulation wick in a downtrend gets marked as a Key Support. This is marked with red crosses
- Breaking above the Key Resistance indicates a buy entry. This is marked by a green background.
- Breaking below the Key Support indicates a sell entry. This is marked by a red background
