Quantum Fluxtrend [CHE] Quantum Fluxtrend — A dynamic Supertrend variant with integrated breakout event tracking and VWAP-guided risk management for clearer trend decisions.
Summary
The Quantum Fluxtrend builds on traditional Supertrend logic by incorporating a midline derived from smoothed high and low values, creating adaptive bands that respond to market range expansion or contraction. This results in fewer erratic signals during volatile periods and smoother tracking in steady trends, while an overlaid event system highlights breakout confirmations, potential traps, or continuations with visual lines, labels, and percentage deltas from the close. Users benefit from real-time VWAP calculations anchored to events, providing dynamic stop-loss suggestions to help manage exits without manual adjustments. Overall, it layers signal robustness with actionable annotations, reducing noise in fast-moving charts.
Motivation: Why this design?
Standard Supertrend indicators often generate excessive flips in choppy conditions or lag behind in low-volatility drifts, leading to whipsaws that erode confidence in trend direction. This design addresses that by centering bands around a midline that reflects recent price spreads, ensuring adjustments are proportional to observed variability. The added event layer captures regime shifts explicitly, turning abstract crossovers into labeled milestones with trailing VWAP for context, which helps traders distinguish genuine momentum from fleeting noise without over-relying on raw price action.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Baseline reference: Diverges from the classic Supertrend, which uses average true range for fixed offsets from a median price.
- Architecture differences:
- Bands form around a central line averaged from smoothed highs and lows, with offsets scaled by half the range between those smooths.
- Regime direction persists until a clear breach of the prior opposite band, preventing premature reversals.
- Event visualization draws persistent lines from flip points, updating labels based on price sustainment relative to the trigger level.
- VWAP resets at each event, accumulating volume-weighted prices forward for a trailing reference.
- Practical effect: Charts show fewer direction changes overall, with color-coded annotations that evolve from initial breakout to continuation or trap status, making it easier to spot sustained moves early. VWAP lines provide a volume-informed anchor that curves with price, offering visual cues for adverse drifts.
How it works (technical)
The process starts by smoothing high and low prices over a user-defined period to form upper and lower references. A midline sits midway between them, and half the spread acts as a base for band offsets, adjusted by a multiplier to widen or narrow sensitivity. On each bar, the close is checked against the previous bar's opposite band: crossing above expands the lower band downward in uptrends, or below contracts the upper band upward in downtrends, creating a ratcheting effect that locks in direction until breached.
Persistent state tracks the current regime, seeding initial bands from the smoothed values if no prior data exists. Flips trigger new horizontal lines at the breach level, styled by direction, alongside labels that monitor sustainment—price holding above for up-flips or below for down-flips keeps the regime, while reversal flags a trap.
Separately, at each flip, a dashed VWAP line initializes at the breach price and extends forward, accumulating the product of typical prices and volumes divided by total volume. This yields a curving reference that updates bar-by-bar. Warnings activate if price strays adversely from this VWAP, tinting the background for quick alerts.
No higher timeframe data is pulled, so all computations run on the chart's native resolution, avoiding lookahead biases unless repainting is enabled via input.
Parameter Guide
SMA Length — Controls smoothing of highs and lows for midline and range base; longer values dampen noise but increase lag. Default: 20. Trade-offs: Shortens responsiveness in trends (e.g., 10–14) but risks more flips; extend to 30+ for stability in ranging markets.
Multiplier — Scales band offsets from the half-range; higher amplifies to capture bigger swings. Default: 1.0. Trade-offs: Above 1.5 widens for volatile assets, reducing false signals; below 0.8 tightens for precision but may miss subtle shifts.
Show Bands — Toggles visibility of basic and adjusted band lines for reference. Default: false. Tip: Enable briefly to verify alignment with price action.
Show Background Color — Displays red tint on VWAP adverse crosses for visual warnings. Default: false. Trade-offs: Helps in live monitoring but can clutter clean charts.
Line Width — Sets thickness for event and VWAP lines. Default: 2. Tip: Thicker (3–5) for emphasis on key levels.
+Bars after next event — Extends old lines briefly before cleanup on new flips. Default: 20. Trade-offs: Longer preserves history (40+) at resource cost; shorter keeps charts tidy.
Allow Repainting — Permits live-bar updates for smoother real-time view. Default: false. Tip: Disable for backtest accuracy.
Extension 1 Settings (Show, Width, Size, Decimals, Colors, Alpha) — Manages dotted connector from event label to current close, showing percentage change. Defaults: Shown, width 2, normal size, 2 decimals, lime/red for gains/losses, gray line, 90% transparent background. Trade-offs: Fewer decimals for clean display; adjust alpha for readability.
Extension 2 Settings (Show, Method, Stop %, Ticks, Decimals, Size, Color, Inherit, Alpha) — Positions stop label at VWAP end, offset by percent or ticks. Defaults: Shown, percent method, 1.0%, 20 ticks, 4 decimals, normal size, white text, inherit tint, 0% alpha. Trade-offs: Percent for proportional risk; ticks for fixed distance in tick-based assets.
Alert Toggles — Enables notifications for breakouts, continuations, traps, or VWAP warnings. All default: true. Tip: Layer with chart alerts for multi-condition setups.
Reading & Interpretation
The main Supertrend line colors green for up-regimes (price above lower band) and red for down (below upper band), serving as a dynamic support/resistance trail. Flip shapes (up/down triangles) mark regime changes at band breaches.
Event lines extend horizontally from flips: green for bull, red for bear. Labels start blank and update to "Bull/Bear Cont." if price sustains the direction, or "Trap" if it reverses, with colors shifting lime/red/gray accordingly. A dotted vertical links the trailing label to the current close, mid-labeled with the percentage delta (positive green, negative red).
VWAP dashes yellow (bull) or orange (bear) from the event, curving to reflect volume-weighted average. At its end, a left-aligned label shows suggested stop price, annotated with offset details. Background red hints at weakening if price crosses VWAP opposite the regime.
Deltas near zero suggest consolidation; widening extremes signal momentum buildup or exhaustion.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter long on green flip shapes confirmed by higher highs, using the event line as initial stop below. Trail stops to VWAP for bull runs, exiting on trap labels or red background warnings. Filter with volume spikes to avoid low-conviction breaks.
- Exits/Stops: Conservative: Set hard stops at suggested SL labels. Aggressive: Hold through minor traps if delta stays positive, but cut on regime flip. Pair with momentum oscillators for overbought pullbacks.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex/stocks on 15m–4H; for crypto, bump multiplier to 1.5 for volatility. Scale SMA length proportionally across timeframes (e.g., double for daily). Combine with structure tools like Fibonacci for confluence on event lines.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Live bars update lines and labels dynamically if repainting is allowed, but signals confirm on close for stability—flips only trigger post-bar. No higher timeframe calls, so no inherent lookahead, though volume weighting assumes continuous data.
Resources cap at 1000 bars back, 50 lines/labels max; events prune old ones on new flips to stay under budget, with brief extensions for visibility. Arrays or loops absent, keeping it lightweight.
Known limits include lag in extreme gaps (e.g., overnight opens) where bands may not adjust instantly, and VWAP sensitivity to sparse volume in illiquid sessions.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with SMA 20, multiplier 1.0 for balanced response across majors. For choppy pairs: Lengthen SMA to 30, multiplier 0.8 to tighten bands and cut flips. For trending equities: Shorten to 14, multiplier 1.2 for quicker entries. If traps dominate, enable bands to inspect range compression; for sluggish signals, reduce extension bars to focus on recent events.

Buyer vs Seller ControlBuyer vs Seller Control Analysis
Technical indicator measuring market participation through candlestick wick analysis
Overview:
This indicator analyzes the relationship between closing prices and candlestick wicks to measure buying and selling pressure. It calculates two key metrics and displays their moving averages to help identify market sentiment shifts.
Calculation Method:
The indicator measures two distinct values for each candle:
Buyer Control Value: Distance from candle low to closing price (close - low)
Seller Control Value: Distance from candle high to closing price (high - close)
Both values are then smoothed using a Simple Moving Average (default period: 20) to reduce noise and show clearer trends.
Visual Components:
Lime Line: 20-period SMA of buyer control values
Fuchsia Line: 20-period SMA of seller control values
Area Fill: Colored region between the two lines
Histogram: Difference between buyer and seller control SMAs
Zero Reference Line: Horizontal line at zero level
Information Table: Current numerical values (optional display)
Interpretation:
When the lime line (buyer control) is above the fuchsia line (seller control), it indicates that recent candles have been closing closer to their highs than to their lows on average.
When the fuchsia line is above the lime line, recent candles have been closing closer to their lows than to their highs on average.
Fill Color Logic:
Lime (green) fill appears when buyer control SMA > seller control SMA
Fuchsia (red) fill appears when seller control SMA > buyer control SMA
Fill transparency adjusts based on the magnitude of difference between the two SMAs
Stronger differences result in more opaque fills
Settings:
Moving Average Period: Adjustable from 1-200 periods (default: 20)
Show Info Table: Toggle to display/hide the numerical values table
Technical Notes:
The indicator works on any timeframe
Values are displayed in the same units as the underlying asset's price
The histogram shows the mathematical difference between the two SMA lines
Transparency calculation uses a 50-period lookback for dynamic scaling
This indicator provides a quantitative approach to analyzing candlestick patterns by focusing on where prices close relative to their intraday ranges.
Fractals + FVG [Combined]Звісно, ось варіант опису англійською, який можна використати для публікації індикатора в TradingView.
Description
This script combines two powerful and widely-used trading concepts into a single, comprehensive indicator: Bill Williams Fractals with dynamic support/resistance lines and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) based on the popular logic from LuxAlgo.
The goal is to provide a cleaner chart by merging two essential tools, allowing traders to analyze market structure and imbalances simultaneously.
Features
1. Williams Fractals with Invalidation Lines
This part of the indicator identifies classic Bill Williams fractals and enhances them with a unique visualization feature.
Fractal Detection: Automatically identifies both bullish (bottom) and bearish (top) fractals. You can choose between a 3-bar or 5-bar pattern in the settings.
Dynamic S/R Lines: A horizontal line is automatically drawn from every confirmed fractal, acting as a potential support or resistance level.
Automatic Invalidation: A line is considered "invalidated" or breached when the body of a candle closes past it. When this happens, the line stops extending, changes its color to the "invalidated" color, and remains on the chart as a historical reference. This provides a clear, objective signal that a level has been broken.
Customization: You can fully customize the colors for the support, resistance, and invalidated lines to match your chart theme.
2. Fair Value Gaps (FVG) / Imbalance
This module incorporates the robust FVG detection logic from LuxAlgo to automatically identify and display market imbalances.
FVG Detection: Highlights bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps on the chart with colored boxes, representing inefficiencies in price delivery.
Automatic Mitigation: The FVG boxes are automatically removed from the chart once the price has "mitigated" or filled the gap, keeping your workspace clean and focused on active imbalances.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF): You can set the indicator to find and display FVGs from a higher timeframe directly on your current chart.
Dashboard: An optional on-screen dashboard provides a quick summary of the total count of bullish/bearish FVGs and the percentage that have been mitigated.
Full Customization: Control the colors of FVG boxes, extend their length, and configure other visual style settings.
How to Use
Fractal Lines: Use the active support and resistance lines as key levels for potential bounces or breaks. A line's invalidation can serve as confirmation of a shift in market structure.
FVG Zones: Fair Value Gaps often act as "magnets" for price. Use these zones as potential targets for your trades or as areas of interest for entries when price retraces to fill the imbalance.
Combined Strategy: The true power of this indicator comes from combining both concepts. For example, a bullish FVG forming near a key fractal support level can create a high-probability confluence zone for a long entry. Similarly, a break and invalidation of a fractal resistance line might signal that price is heading towards the next bearish FVG above.
This indicator is a tool for analysis and should be used in conjunction with your own trading strategy and risk management rules.

MTF Candles [Fadi x MMT]MTF Candles
Overview
The MTF Candles indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who want to visualize higher timeframe (HTF) candles directly on their current chart. Built with flexibility and precision in mind, this Pine Script indicator displays up to six higher timeframe candles, complete with customizable styling, sweeps, midpoints, fair value gaps (FVGs), volume imbalances, and trace lines. It’s perfect for multi-timeframe analysis, helping traders identify key levels, market structure, and potential trading opportunities with ease.
Key Features
- Multi-Timeframe Candles : Display up to six higher timeframe candles (e.g., 5m, 15m, 30m, 4H, 1D, 1W) on your chart, with configurable timeframes and visibility.
- Sweeps Detection : Identify liquidity sweeps (highs/lows) with customizable line styles, widths, and colors, plus optional alerts for confirmed bullish or bearish sweeps.
- Midpoint Lines : Plot the midpoint (average of high and low) of the previous HTF candle, with customizable color, width, and style for enhanced market analysis.
- Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) : Highlight gaps between non-adjacent candles, indicating potential areas of interest for price action.
- Volume Imbalances : Detect and display volume imbalances between adjacent candles, aiding in spotting significant price levels.
- Trace Lines : Connect HTF candle open, close, high, and low prices to their respective chart bars, with customizable styles and optional price labels.
- Custom Daily Open Times : Support for custom daily candle open times (Midnight, 8:30, or 9:30) to align with specific market sessions.
- Dynamic Labels : Show timeframe names, remaining time until the next HTF candle, and interval labels (e.g., day of the week for daily candles) with adjustable positions and sizes.
- Highly Customizable : Fine-tune candle appearance, spacing, padding, and visual elements to suit your trading style.
How It Works
The indicator renders HTF candles as boxes (bodies) and lines (wicks) on the right side of the chart, with each timeframe offset for clarity. It dynamically updates candles in real-time, tracks their highs and lows, and displays sweeps and midpoints when conditions are met. FVGs and volume imbalances are calculated based on candle relationships, and trace lines link HTF candle levels to their originating bars on the chart.
Sweep Logic
- A bearish sweep occurs when the current candle’s high exceeds the previous candle’s high, but the close is below it.
- A bullish sweep occurs when the current candle’s low falls below the previous candle’s low, but the close is above it.
- Sweeps are visualized as horizontal lines and can trigger alerts when confirmed on the next candle.
Midpoint Logic
- A midpoint line is drawn at the average of the previous HTF candle’s high and low, extending until the next HTF candle forms.
- Useful for identifying potential support/resistance or mean reversion levels.
Imbalance Detection
- FVGs : Identified when a candle’s low is above the next-but-one candle’s high (or vice versa), indicating a price gap.
- Volume Imbalances : Detected between adjacent candles where the body of one candle doesn’t overlap with the next, signaling potential liquidity zones.

ATR Stop-Loss with Fibonacci Take-Profit [jpkxyz]ATR Stop-Loss with Fibonacci Take-Profit Indicator
This comprehensive indicator combines Average True Range (ATR) volatility analysis with Fibonacci extensions to create dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels. It's designed to help traders set precise risk management levels and profit targets based on market volatility and mathematical ratios.
Two Operating Modes
Default Mode (Rolling Levels)
In default mode, the indicator continuously plots evolving stop-loss and take-profit levels based on real-time price action. These levels update dynamically as new bars form, creating rolling horizontal lines across the chart. I use this mode primarily to plot the rolling ATR-Level which I use to trail my Stop-Loss into profit.
Characteristics:
Levels recalculate with each new bar
All selected Fibonacci levels display simultaneously
Uses plot() functions with trackprice=true for price tracking
Custom Anchor Mode (Fixed Levels)
This is the primary mode for precision trading. You select a specific timestamp (typically your entry bar), and the indicator locks all calculations to that exact moment, creating fixed horizontal lines that represent your actual trade levels.
Characteristics:
Entry line (blue) marks your anchor point
Stop-loss calculated using ATR from the anchor bar
Fibonacci levels projected from entry-to-stop distance
Lines terminate when price breaks through them
Includes comprehensive alert system
Core Calculation Logic
ATR Stop-Loss Calculation:
Stop Loss = Entry Price ± (ATR × Multiplier)
Long positions: SL = Entry - (ATR × Multiplier)
Short positions: SL = Entry + (ATR × Multiplier)
ATR uses your chosen smoothing method (RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA)
Default multiplier is 1.5, adjustable to your risk tolerance
Fibonacci Take-Profit Projection:
The distance from entry to stop-loss becomes the base unit (1.0) for Fibonacci extensions:
TP Level = Entry + (Entry-to-SL Distance × Fibonacci Ratio)
Available Fibonacci Levels:
Conservative: 0.618, 1.0, 1.618
Extended: 2.618, 3.618, 4.618
Complete range: 0.0 to 4.764 (23 levels total)
Multi-Timeframe Functionality
One of the indicator's most powerful features is timeframe flexibility. You can analyze on one timeframe while using stop-loss and take-profit calculations from another.
Best Practices:
Identify your entry point on execution timeframe
Enable "Custom Anchor" mode
Set anchor timestamp to your entry bar
Select appropriate analysis timeframe
Choose relevant Fibonacci levels
Enable alerts for automated notifications
Example Scenario:
Analyse trend on 4-hour chart
Execute entry on 5-minute chart for precision
Set custom anchor to your 5-minute entry bar
Configure timeframe setting to "4h" for swing-level targets
Select appropriate Fibonacci Extension levels
Result: Precise entry with larger timeframe risk management
Visual Intelligence System
Line Behaviour in Custom Anchor Mode:
Active levels: Lines extend to the right edge
Hit levels: Lines terminate at the breaking bar
Entry line: Always visible in blue
Stop-loss: Red line, terminates when hit
Take-profits: Green lines (1.618 level in gold for emphasis)
Customisation Options:
Line width (1-4 pixels)
Show/hide individual Fibonacci levels
ATR length and smoothing method
ATR multiplier for stop-loss distance
Gold DynamicThis is a custom-made TradingView indicator designed to visualize "sequential price levels" based on a user-defined step value, dynamically centered around the current gold price. It draws horizontal lines at multiples of a chosen step value (e.g., 7) both above and below the current price.
Key Features:
Dynamic Price Levels: Lines are calculated relative to the live price, providing relevant support/resistance or structural levels for the current market context.
Customizable Step Value: Easily adjust the Sequence Step Value (e.g., 7, 10, 14) from the indicator settings to align with your trading theory.
Adjustable Line Count: Control the Number of Lines ABOVE Current Price and Number of Lines BELOW Current Price to show as many or as few levels as desired.
Extended Lines: Horizontal lines extend indefinitely to both the left (historical data) and right (future projection) for comprehensive visualization.
Clear Price Labels: Each line displays its exact price value, positioned at the far right of the chart for quick reference.
Customizable Appearance: Modify line color, width, and style (solid, dotted, dashed) to suit your charting preferences.
Exact Values: All displayed price labels are rounded to whole numbers for clear, precise visualization without decimal values.
This indicator is ideal for traders looking to apply a fixed-step price theory to their gold analysis.
PhenLabs - Market Fluid Dynamics📊 Market Fluid Dynamics -
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The Market Fluid Dynamics - Phen indicator is a new thinking regarding market analysis by modeling price action, volume, and volatility using a fluid system. It attempts to offer traders control over more profound market forces, such as momentum (speed), resistance (thickness), and buying/selling pressure. By visualizing such dynamics, the script allows the traders to decide on the prevailing market flow, its power, likely continuations, and zones of calmness and chaos, and thereby allows improved decision-making.
This measure avoids the usual difficulty of reconciling multiple, often contradictory, market indications by including them within a single overarching model. It moves beyond traditional binary indicators by providing a multi-dimensional view of market behavior, employing fluid dynamic analogs to describe complex interactions in an accessible manner.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Integrated Fluid Dynamics Model: Combines velocity, viscosity, pressure, and turbulence into a single indicator.
Normalized Metrics: Uses ATR and other normalization techniques for consistent readings across different assets and timeframes.
Dynamic Flow Visualization: Main flow line changes color and intensity based on direction and strength.
Turbulence Background: Visually represents market stability with a gradient background, from calm to turbulent.
Comprehensive Dashboard: Provides an at-a-glance summary of key fluid dynamic metrics.
Multi-Layer Smoothing: Employs several layers of EMA smoothing for a clearer, more responsive main flow line.
🔧 Core Components
Velocity Component: Measures price momentum (first derivative of price), normalized by ATR. It indicates the speed and direction of price changes.
Viscosity Component: Represents market resistance to price changes, derived from ATR relative to its historical average. Higher viscosity suggests it’s harder for prices to move.
Pressure Component: Quantifies the force created by volume and price range (close - open), normalized by ATR. It reflects buying or selling pressure.
Turbulence Detection: Calculates a Reynolds number equivalent to identify market stability, ranging from laminar (stable) to turbulent (chaotic).
Main Flow Indicator: Combines the above components, applying sensitivity and smoothing, to generate a primary signal of market direction and strength.
🔥 Key Features
Advanced Smoothing Algorithm: Utilizes multiple EMA layers on the raw flow calculation for a fluid and responsive main flow line, reducing noise while maintaining sensitivity.
Gradient Flow Coloring: The main flow line dynamically changes color from light to deep blue for bullish flow and light to deep red for bearish flow, with intensity reflecting flow strength. This provides an immediate visual cue of market sentiment and momentum.
Turbulence Level Background: The chart background changes color based on calculated turbulence (from calm gray to vibrant orange), offering an intuitive understanding of market stability and potential for erratic price action.
Informative Dashboard: A customizable on-screen table displays critical metrics like Flow State, Flow Strength, Market Viscosity, Turbulence, Pressure Force, Flow Acceleration, and Flow Continuity, allowing traders to quickly assess current market conditions.
Configurable Lookback and Sensitivity: Users can adjust the base lookback period for calculations and the sensitivity of the flow to viscosity, tailoring the indicator to different trading styles and market conditions.
Alert Conditions: Pre-defined alerts for flow direction changes (positive/negative crossover of zero line) and detection of high turbulence states.
🎨 Visualization
Main Flow Line: A smoothed line plotted below the main chart, colored blue for bullish flow and red for bearish flow. The intensity of the color (light to dark) indicates the strength of the flow. This line crossing the zero line can signal a change in market direction.
Zero Line: A dotted horizontal line at the zero level, serving as a baseline to gauge whether the market flow is positive (bullish) or negative (bearish).
Turbulence Background: The indicator pane’s background color changes based on the calculated turbulence level. A calm, almost transparent gray indicates low turbulence (laminar flow), while a more vibrant, semi-transparent orange signifies high turbulence. This helps traders visually assess market stability.
Dashboard Table: An optional table displayed on the chart, showing key metrics like ‘Flow State’, ‘Flow Strength’, ‘Market Viscosity’, ‘Turbulence’, ‘Pressure Force’, ‘Flow Acceleration’, and ‘Flow Continuity’ with their current values and qualitative descriptions (e.g., ‘Bullish Flow’, ‘Laminar (Stable)’).
📖 Usage Guidelines
Setting Categories
Show Dashboard - Default: true; Range: true/false; Description: Toggles the visibility of the Market Fluid Dynamics dashboard on the chart. Enable to see key metrics at a glance.
Base Lookback Period - Default: 14; Range: 5 - (no upper limit, practical limits apply); Description: Sets the primary lookback period for core calculations like velocity, ATR, and volume SMA. Shorter periods make the indicator more sensitive to recent price action, while longer periods provide a smoother, slower signal.
Flow Sensitivity - Default: 0.5; Range: 0.1 - 1.0 (step 0.1); Description: Adjusts how much the market viscosity dampens the raw flow. A lower value means viscosity has less impact (flow is more sensitive to raw velocity/pressure), while a higher value means viscosity has a greater dampening effect.
Flow Smoothing - Default: 5; Range: 1 - 20; Description: Controls the length of the EMA smoothing applied to the main flow line. Higher values result in a smoother flow line but with more lag; lower values make it more responsive but potentially noisier.
Dashboard Position - Default: ‘Top Right’; Range: ‘Top Right’, ‘Top Left’, ‘Bottom Right’, ‘Bottom Left’, ‘Middle Right’, ‘Middle Left’; Description: Determines the placement of the dashboard on the chart.
Header Size - Default: ‘Normal’; Range: ‘Tiny’, ‘Small’, ‘Normal’, ‘Large’, ‘Huge’; Description: Sets the text size for the dashboard header.
Values Size - Default: ‘Small’; Range: ‘Tiny’, ‘Small’, ‘Normal’, ‘Large’; Description: Sets the text size for the metric values in the dashboard.
✅ Best Use Cases
Trend Identification: Identifying the dominant market flow (bullish or bearish) and its strength to trade in the direction of the prevailing trend.
Momentum Confirmation: Using the flow strength and acceleration to confirm the conviction behind price movements.
Volatility Assessment: Utilizing the turbulence metric to gauge market stability, helping to adjust position sizing or avoid choppy conditions.
Reversal Spotting: Watching for divergences between price and flow, or crossovers of the main flow line above/below the zero line, as potential reversal signals, especially when combined with changes in pressure or viscosity.
Swing Trading: Leveraging the smoothed flow line to capture medium-term market swings, entering when flow aligns with the desired trade direction and exiting when flow weakens or reverses.
Intraday Scalping: Using shorter lookback periods and higher sensitivity to identify quick shifts in flow and turbulence for short-term trading opportunities, particularly in liquid markets.
⚠️ Limitations
Lagging Nature: Like many indicators based on moving averages and lookback periods, the main flow line can lag behind rapid price changes, potentially leading to delayed signals.
Whipsaws in Ranging Markets: During periods of low volatility or sideways price action (high viscosity, low flow strength), the indicator might produce frequent buy/sell signals (whipsaws) as the flow oscillates around the zero line.
Not a Standalone System: While comprehensive, it should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis (e.g., price action, support/resistance levels, other indicators) and not as a sole basis for trading decisions.
Subjectivity in Interpretation: While the dashboard provides quantitative values, the interpretation of “strong” flow, “high” turbulence, or “significant” acceleration can still have a subjective element depending on the trader’s strategy and risk tolerance.
💡 What Makes This Unique
Fluid Dynamics Analogy: Its core strength lies in translating complex market interactions into an intuitive fluid dynamics framework, making concepts like momentum, resistance, and pressure easier to visualize and understand.
Market View: Instead of focusing on a single aspect (like just momentum or just volatility), it integrates multiple factors (velocity, viscosity, pressure, turbulence) to provide a more comprehensive picture of market conditions.
Adaptive Visualization: The dynamic coloring of the flow line and the turbulence background provide immediate, adaptive visual feedback that changes with market conditions.
🔬 How It Works
Price Velocity Calculation: The indicator first calculates price velocity by measuring the rate of change of the closing price over a given ‘lookback’ period. The raw velocity is then normalized by the Average True Range (ATR) of the same lookback period. Normalization enables comparison of momentum between assets or timeframes by scaling for volatility. This is the direction and speed of initial price movement.
Viscosity Calculation: Market ‘viscosity’ or resistance to price movement is determined by looking at the current ATR relative to its longer-term average (SMA of ATR over lookback * 2). The further the current ATR is above its average, the lower the viscosity (less resistance to price movement), and vice-versa. The script inverts this relationship and bounds it so that rising viscosity means more resistance.
Pressure Force Measurement: A ‘pressure’ variable is calculated as a function of the ratio of current volume to its simple moving average, multiplied by the price range (close - open) and normalized by ATR. This is designed to measure the force behind price movement created by volume and intraday price thrusts. This pressure is smoothed by an EMA.
Turbulence State Evaluation: A equivalent ‘Reynolds number’ is calculated by dividing the absolute normalized velocity by the viscosity. This is the proclivity of the market to move in a chaotic or orderly fashion. This ‘reynoldsValue’ is smoothed with an EMA to get the ‘turbulenceState’, which indicates if the market is laminar (stable), transitional, or turbulent.
Main Flow Derivation: The ‘rawFlow’ is calculated by taking the normalized velocity, dampening its impact based on the ‘viscosity’ and user-input ‘sensitivity’, and orienting it by the sign of the smoothed ‘pressureSmooth’. The ‘rawFlow’ is then put through multiple layers of exponential moving average (EMA) smoothing (with ‘smoothingLength’ and derived values) to reach the final ‘mainFlow’ line. The extensive smoothing is designed to give a smooth and clear visualization of the overall market direction and magnitude.
Dashboard Metrics Compilation: Additional metrics like flow acceleration (derivative of mainFlow), and flow continuity (correlation between close and volume) are calculated. All primary components (Flow State, Strength, Viscosity, Turbulence, Pressure, Acceleration, Continuity) are then presented in a user-configurable dashboard for ease of monitoring.
💡 Note:
The “Market Fluid Dynamics - Phen” indicator is designed to offer a unique perspective on market behavior by applying principles from fluid dynamics. It’s most effective when used to understand the underlying forces driving price rather than as a direct buy/sell signal generator in isolation. Experiment with the settings, particularly the ‘Base Lookback Period’, ‘Flow Sensitivity’, and ‘Flow Smoothing’, to find what best suits your trading style and the specific asset you are analyzing. Always combine its insights with robust risk management practices.

Wickless Candle Indicator with Extended Lines (final)This Pine Script indicator identifies “wickless” candles—those with no upper wick (when the close equals the high) or no lower wick (when the open equals the low)—and marks these events on the chart. When such a candle is detected, it:
Records the Level and Bar Index:
Saves the price level (high for wickless tops, low for wickless bottoms) and the bar index where the condition occurred.
Draws an Extended Horizontal Line:
Creates a green horizontal line for a wickless top or a red line for a wickless bottom, starting at the detection bar and extending across subsequent bars as long as the price remains below (for tops) or above (for bottoms) the recorded level.
Resets When the Price Breaks the Level:
If a future bar’s price moves beyond the saved level (i.e., a high above a wickless top or a low below a wickless bottom), the indicator resets that level, ending the extension of the line.
Visual Markers:
Additionally, it plots a small triangle above a wickless top and below a wickless bottom for easy identification on the chart.
Overall, this script helps traders visualize potential support or resistance levels created by candles that close at their highs or open at their lows, with lines that dynamically adjust as price evolves.

EBL - Enhanced BOS LogicEBL - Enhanced BOS Logic
The EBL (Enhanced Break of Structure Logic) script is a powerful tool for traders who want to identify and act on key structural shifts in the market. By combining visual cues, such as horizontal lines and dynamic arrows, the script highlights critical points of interest where market behavior may indicate significant bullish or bearish momentum.
What Makes EBL Unique?
Break of Structure (BOS) Identification:
The script dynamically detects when price breaks above or below significant highs and lows, marking these levels as key BOS points.
Once a BOS level is confirmed, it is displayed on the chart as a horizontal line, allowing traders to easily identify areas of potential support and resistance.
Real-Time Validation and Invalidations:
Bullish BOS levels remain active until a bearish candle closes below the initiating bullish candle.
Similarly, bearish BOS levels remain active until a bullish candle closes above the initiating bearish candle.
If a BOS level is invalidated, both the corresponding line and its arrow are automatically removed to maintain chart clarity.
Visual Clarity with Arrows and Lines:
Customizable triangle arrows (green for bullish and red for bearish) appear alongside lines to signal entry opportunities.
Traders can adjust line length, colors, and visibility of arrows to fit their charting style.
Alerts for Confirmation:
Receive alerts when bullish or bearish structures are confirmed, ensuring you never miss a signal even when away from your chart.
How the Script Works
Detection of Bullish and Bearish Structures:
The script identifies a "Bullish Break" when the price closes above the high of a bullish candle followed by a bearish one.
A "Bearish Break" is detected when the price closes below the low of a bearish candle followed by a bullish one.
Line and Arrow Placement:
Horizontal lines are drawn at the high or low of the respective BOS level.
Triangular arrows are plotted just below or above the respective levels to indicate potential trade opportunities.
Automatic Cleanup:
When a line is invalidated by opposing market movement, both the line and its connected arrow are automatically removed from the chart.
How to Use EBL
Settings:
Adjust line colors (green for bullish, red for bearish) to suit your charting theme.
Customize arrow visibility or hide lines if you prefer a less cluttered chart.
Set the horizontal line length to match your desired timeframe and analysis depth.
Trading Concepts:
Trend Reversal Zones: Use invalidated BOS levels as signals for possible trend reversals.
Momentum Trading: Follow confirmed BOS levels to identify areas where price momentum is likely to continue.
Dynamic Support and Resistance: Leverage the lines to identify evolving support and resistance zones.
Alerts:
Enable alerts to receive notifications when bullish or bearish trends are confirmed, allowing you to stay informed without constant monitoring.
Conceptual Basis
This script is based on the widely used market structure concept, which is fundamental to price action trading. By tracking the highs and lows created by bullish and bearish movements, the EBL script provides an objective and systematic approach to identifying and trading key structural points in the market.
With the EBL - Enhanced BOS Logic, traders can visually and systematically track market structure, identify potential trade setups, and maintain a cleaner chart with automated line and arrow management. This script is ideal for trend-following, scalping, and swing trading strategies across all markets and timeframes.
ICT CRT Model Range with EquilibriumICT CRT Model Range with Equilibrium Indicator
This indicator calculates and displays the high, low, and equilibrium levels within a custom-defined session (9:00 am to 10:00 am New York Time and the lines will stop appearing at 16:00pm ). It draws horizontal lines to represent the session's range and marks the equilibrium point as a reference.
What is CRT (Candle Range Theory)?
Candle Range Theory (CRT) is based on the concept that every candle on any timeframe forms its own range. These ranges can either be manipulated—through strategies like Turtle Soup—or broken, resulting in price movements such as engulfing patterns, breakouts, and retests beyond the candle's high or low.
CRT is commonly visualized as a 3-candle model, but it can include more candles due to the presence of inside bars. An inside bar is a candle whose high is not higher than the previous candle's high and whose low is not lower than the previous candle's low.
The CRT model follows the A-M-D structure:
Accumulation (A): The first candle or group of candles (inside bars) represents market consolidation.
Manipulation (M): The second candle signals a false move, often a Turtle Soup setup designed to trap traders.
Distribution (D): The third candle confirms the true market move, breaking out of the range and establishing the trend.
Customizable Settings:
Line Colors: Choose your preferred colors for the high, low, and equilibrium lines.
Line Widths: Adjust the thickness of the lines for better visibility.
Line Styles: Select from solid, dotted, or dashed styles for each line.
Label Settings: Customize the text and colors of the labels for the high, low, and equilibrium points.
Traders can easily modify these settings to suit their visual preferences and trading strategies. This indicator is ideal for identifying price action within a specific range, offering clear visual cues for potential CRT Setup.
Poisson Projection of Price Levels### **Poisson Projection of Price Levels**
**Overview:**
The *Poisson Projection of Price Levels* is a cutting-edge technical indicator designed to identify and visualize potential support and resistance levels based on historical price interactions. By leveraging the Poisson distribution, this tool dynamically adjusts the significance of each price level's past "touches" to project future interactions with varying degrees of probability. This probabilistic approach offers traders a nuanced view of where price levels may hold or react in upcoming bars, enhancing both analysis and trading strategies.
---
**🔍 **Math & Methodology**
1. **Strata Levels:**
- **Definition:** Strata are horizontal lines spaced evenly around the current closing price.
- **Calculation:**
\
where \(i\) ranges from 0 to \(\text{Strata Count} - 1\).
2. **Forecast Iterations:**
- **Structure:** The indicator projects five forecast iterations into the future, each spaced by a Fibonacci sequence of bars: 2, 3, 5, 8, and 13 bars ahead. This spacing is inspired by the Fibonacci sequence, which is prevalent in financial market analysis for identifying key levels.
- **Purpose:** Each iteration represents a distinct forecast point where the price may interact with the strata, allowing for a multi-step projection of potential price levels.
3. **Touch Counting:**
- **Definition:** A "touch" occurs when the closing price of a bar is within half the increment of a stratum level.
- **Process:** For each stratum and each forecast iteration, the indicator counts the number of touches within a specified lookback window (e.g., 80 bars), offset by the forecasted position. This ensures that each iteration's touch count is independent and contextually relevant to its forecast horizon.
- **Adjustment:** Each forecast iteration analyzes a unique segment of the lookback window, offset by its forecasted position to ensure independent probability calculations.
4. **Poisson Probability Calculation:**
- **Formula:**
\
\
- **Interpretation:** \(p(k=1)\) represents the probability of exactly one touch occurring within the lookback window for each stratum and iteration.
- **Application:** This probability is used to determine the transparency of each stratum line, where higher probabilities result in more opaque (less transparent) lines, indicating stronger historical significance.
5. **Transparency Mapping:**
- **Calculation:**
\
- **Purpose:** Maps the Poisson probability to a visual transparency level, enhancing the readability of significant strata levels.
- **Outcome:** Strata with higher probabilities (more historical touches) appear more opaque, while those with lower probabilities appear fainter.
---
**📊 **Comparability to Standard Techniques**
1. **Support and Resistance Levels:**
- **Traditional Approach:** Traders identify support and resistance based on historical price reversals, pivot points, or psychological price levels.
- **Poisson Projection:** Automates and quantifies this process by statistically analyzing the frequency of price interactions with specific levels, providing a probabilistic measure of significance.
2. **Statistical Modeling:**
- **Standard Models:** Techniques like Moving Averages, Bollinger Bands, or Fibonacci Retracements offer dynamic and rule-based levels but lack direct probabilistic interpretation.
- **Poisson Projection:** Introduces a discrete event probability framework, offering a unique blend of statistical rigor and visual clarity that complements traditional indicators.
3. **Event-Based Analysis:**
- **Financial Industry Practices:** Event studies and high-frequency trading models often use Poisson processes to model order arrivals or price jumps.
- **Indicator Application:** While not identical, the use of Poisson probabilities in this indicator draws inspiration from event-based modeling, applying it to the context of price level interactions.
---
**💡 **Strengths & Advantages**
1. **Innovative Visualization:**
- Combines statistical probability with traditional support/resistance visualization, offering a fresh perspective on price level significance.
2. **Dynamic Adaptability:**
- Parameters like strata increment, lookback window, and probability threshold are user-defined, allowing customization across different markets and timeframes.
3. **Independent Probability Calculations:**
- Each forecast iteration calculates its own Poisson probability, ensuring that projections are contextually relevant and independent of other iterations.
4. **Clear Visual Cues:**
- Transparency-based coloring intuitively highlights significant price levels, making it easier for traders to identify key areas of interest at a glance.
---
**⚠️ **Limitations & Considerations**
1. **Poisson Assumptions:**
- Assumes that touches occur independently and at a constant average rate (\(\lambda\)), which may not always align with market realities characterized by trends and volatility clustering.
2. **Computational Intensity:**
- Managing multiple iterations and strata can be resource-intensive, potentially affecting performance on lower-powered devices or with very high lookback windows.
3. **Interpretation Complexity:**
- While transparency offers visual clarity, understanding the underlying probability calculations requires a basic grasp of Poisson statistics, which may be a barrier for some traders.
---
**📢 **How to Use It**
1. **Add to TradingView:**
- Open TradingView and navigate to the Pine Script Editor.
- Paste the script above and click **Add to Chart**.
2. **Configure Inputs:**
- **Strata Increment:** Set the desired price step between strata (e.g., `0.1` for 10 cents).
- **Lookback Window:** Define how many past bars to consider for calculating Poisson probabilities (e.g., `80`).
- **Probability Transparency Threshold (%):** Set the threshold percentage to map probabilities to line transparency (e.g., `25%`).
3. **Understand the Forecast Iterations:**
- The indicator projects five forecast points into the future at bar spacings of 2, 3, 5, 8, and 13 bars ahead.
- Each iteration independently calculates its Poisson probability based on the touch counts within its specific lookback window offset by its forecasted position.
4. **Interpret the Visualization:**
- **Opaque Lines:** Indicate higher Poisson probabilities, suggesting historically significant price levels that are more likely to interact again.
- **Fainter Lines:** Represent lower probabilities, indicating less historically significant levels that may be less likely to interact.
- **Forecast Spacing:** The spacing of 2, 3, 5, 8, and 13 bars ahead aligns with Fibonacci principles, offering a natural progression in forecast horizons.
5. **Apply to Trading Strategies:**
- **Support/Resistance Identification:** Use the opaque lines as potential support and resistance levels for placing trades.
- **Entry and Exit Points:** Anticipate price interactions at forecasted levels to plan strategic entries and exits.
- **Risk Management:** Utilize the transparency mapping to determine where to place stop-loss and take-profit orders based on the probability of price interactions.
6. **Customize as Needed:**
- Adjust the **Strata Increment** to fit different price ranges or volatility levels.
- Modify the **Lookback Window** to capture more or fewer historical touches, adapting to different timeframes or market conditions.
- Tweak the **Probability Transparency Threshold** to control the sensitivity of transparency mapping to Poisson probabilities.
**📈 **Practical Applications**
1. **Identifying Key Levels:**
- Quickly visualize which price levels have historically had significant interactions, aiding in the identification of potential support and resistance zones.
2. **Forecasting Price Reactions:**
- Use the forecast iterations to anticipate where price may interact in the near future, assisting in planning entry and exit points.
3. **Risk Management:**
- Determine areas of high probability for price reversals or consolidations, enabling better placement of stop-loss and take-profit orders.
4. **Market Analysis:**
- Assess the strength of market levels over different forecast horizons, providing a multi-layered understanding of market structure.
---

Candle Open Time labels (& TAPDA Lines)Description of the "4-Hour Candle Opening Times (TAPDA Lines)" Indicator
The "4-Hour Candle Opening Times (TAPDA Lines)" indicator integrates key principles of the Time and Price Action Trading Algorithm (TAPTA) with practical tools for analyzing market behavior. This script is designed for traders who leverage the interaction between time and price to identify opportunities in the market. The indicator supports the identification of significant price levels and potential areas of interest based on historical data and recurring patterns tied to specific timeframes.
Core Concepts
Time and Price Interaction (TAPTA Logic):
The script implements TAPTA principles by focusing on time intervals (4-hour candles) and the price action associated with those intervals.
Traders use this logic to recognize how prices behave at specific times, identifying patterns, levels of support or resistance, and potential reversals.
Highs and Lows Recognition (TAPDA):
The indicator includes logic for identifying and marking "Tapped Highs and Lows," which occur when price action retraces to previously significant levels within a specified tolerance. These taps are visually represented with horizontal lines, enabling traders to spot recurring price behaviors and levels of interest.
Dynamic Levels for Decision-Making:
By combining time and price, the script visualizes key price levels and their relevance over time, equipping traders with actionable insights for entry, exit, and risk management.
Indicator Features
1. Visual Representation of Candle Opening Times
The indicator marks the opening times of 4-hour candles on the chart.
A customizable label system displays the time in either a 12-hour or 24-hour format, with options to toggle the visibility of AM/PM suffixes.
2. TAPDA Logic
Identifies and highlights price levels that have been tapped within a specified tolerance.
Horizontal lines are drawn to mark these levels, allowing traders to see historical price levels acting as support or resistance.
The "Tapped Highs and Lows" are updated dynamically based on the most recent price action.
3. Timeframe-Specific Filtering
Users can limit the display to specific times of interest, such as 2 AM, 6 AM, and 10 AM, by toggling the "GCT (General Candle Times)" option.
Additional options allow filtering TAPDA logic by AM or PM timeframes, catering to traders who focus on specific market sessions.
4. Adjustable Plotting Limits
The script incorporates settings for controlling the maximum number of labels and lines displayed on the chart:
Max Labels: Limits the number of labels plotted for 4-hour candle opening times.
Max TAPDA Lines: Limits the number of TAPDA horizontal lines displayed.
A "Sync Lines and Labels" option ensures the same number of labels and lines are plotted when enabled, providing a consistent and clutter-free visualization.
5. Plot Maximum Capability
A "Plot Max" feature allows users to override the default behavior and force the plotting of the maximum allowed labels and lines, providing a comprehensive view of historical data.
6. User-Friendly Customization
Fully customizable label styles, including options for position, size, color, and background opacity.
Adjustable tolerance levels for TAPDA lines ensure compatibility with different market conditions and trading strategies.
Settings for flipping or aligning label positions above or below candles, or locking them to the opening price.
Script Logic
The script is built to prioritize efficiency and clarity, adhering to TradingView's Pine Script best practices and community standards:
Initialization:
Arrays are used to store historical price data, including highs, lows, and timestamps, ensuring only the necessary amount of data is processed.
A flexible and efficient data management system maintains a rolling window of data for both labels and TAPDA lines, ensuring smooth performance.
Label and Line Plotting:
Labels are plotted dynamically at user-defined positions and styles to mark the opening times of 4-hour candles.
TAPDA lines are drawn between historical high or low points and the current price action when the tolerance condition is met.
Limit Management:
The script enforces limits on the number of labels and lines plotted on the chart to maintain visual clarity.
Users can enable synchronization between the maximum labels and lines to ensure consistent visualization.
Customization Options:
Extensive customization settings allow traders to tailor the indicator to their strategies and preferences, including:
Label and line styles.
Session filtering (AM, PM, or specific times).
Display limits and synchronization options.
Capabilities
1. Enhance Time-Based Analysis
By marking significant times (4-hour candle openings), traders can identify key market phases and recurring behaviors tied to specific hours.
2. Leverage Historical Price Action
TAPDA logic highlights areas where price action interacts with historical highs and lows, providing actionable insights into potential support or resistance zones.
3. Improve Decision-Making
The indicator supports informed decision-making by blending visual data with time and price action principles, helping traders spot opportunities and mitigate risks.
4. Flexible Application Across Strategies
Suitable for day traders, swing traders, and position traders who utilize time and price action for trend analysis, reversals, or breakout strategies.

Top-Down Trend and Key Levels with Swing Points//by antaryaami0
Overview
The “Top-Down Trend and Key Levels with Swing Points” indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to enhance your technical analysis by integrating multiple trading concepts into a single, easy-to-use script. It combines higher timeframe trend analysis, key price levels, swing point detection, and ranging market identification to provide a holistic view of market conditions. This indicator is particularly useful for traders who employ multi-timeframe analysis, support and resistance levels, and price action strategies.
Key Features
1. Higher Timeframe Trend Background Shading:
• Purpose: Identifies the prevailing trend on a higher timeframe to align lower timeframe trading decisions with the broader market direction.
• How it Works: The indicator compares the current higher timeframe close with the previous one to determine if the trend is up, down, or ranging.
• Customization:
• Trend Timeframe: Set your preferred higher timeframe (e.g., Daily, Weekly).
• Up Trend Color & Down Trend Color: Customize the background colors for uptrends and downtrends.
• Ranging Market Color: A separate color to indicate when the market is moving sideways.
2. Key Price Levels:
• Previous Day High (PDH) and Low (PDL):
• Purpose: Identifies key support and resistance levels from the previous trading day.
• Visualization: Plots horizontal lines at PDH and PDL with labels.
• Customization: Option to show or hide these levels and customize their colors.

• Customization: Option to show or hide these levels and customize their colors.
3. First 5-Minute Marker (F5H/F5L):
• Purpose: Marks the high or low of the first 5 minutes after the market opens, which is significant for intraday momentum.
• How it Works:
• If the first 5-minute high is above the Pre-Market High (PMH), an “F5H” label is placed at the first 5-minute high.
• If the first 5-minute high is below the PMH, an “F5L” label is placed at the first 5-minute low.
• Visualization: Labels are placed at the 9:35 AM candle (closing of the first 5 minutes), colored in purple by default.
• Customization: Option to show or hide the marker and adjust the marker color.
4. Swing Points Detection:
• Purpose: Identifies significant pivot points in price action to help recognize trends and reversals.
• How it Works: Uses left and right bars to detect pivot highs and lows, then determines if they are Higher Highs (HH), Lower Highs (LH), Higher Lows (HL), or Lower Lows (LL).
• Visualization: Plots small markers (circles) with labels (HH, LH, HL, LL) at the corresponding swing points.
• Customization: Adjust the number of left and right bars for pivot detection and the size of the markers.
5. Ranging Market Detection:
• Purpose: Identifies periods when the market is consolidating (moving sideways) within a defined price range.
• How it Works: Calculates the highest high and lowest low over a specified period and determines if the price range is within a set percentage threshold.
• Visualization: Draws a gray box around the price action during the ranging period and labels the high and low prices at the end of the range.
• Customization: Adjust the range detection period and threshold, as well as the box color.
6. Trend Coloring on Chart:
• Purpose: Provides a visual cue for the short-term trend based on a moving average.

Understanding the Indicator’s Logic
1. Higher Timeframe Trend Analysis:
• The indicator retrieves the closing prices of a higher timeframe using the request.security() function.
• It compares the current higher timeframe close with the previous one to determine the trend direction.
2. Key Level Calculation:
• Previous Day High/Low: Calculated by tracking the highest and lowest prices of the previous trading day.
• Pre-Market High/Low: Calculated by monitoring price action during the pre-market session.
3. First 5-Minute Marker Logic:
• At 9:35 AM (end of the first 5 minutes after market open), the indicator evaluates whether the first 5-minute high is above or below the PMH.
• It then places the appropriate label (F5H or F5L) on the chart.
4. Swing Points Detection:
• The script uses ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions to detect pivot points.
• It then determines the type of swing point based on comparisons with previous swings.
5. Ranging Market Detection:
• The indicator looks back over a specified number of bars to find the highest high and lowest low.
• It calculates the percentage difference between these two points.
• If the difference is below the set threshold, the market is considered to be ranging, and a box is drawn around the price action.
Limitations and Considerations
• Indicator Limitations:
• Maximum Boxes and Labels: Due to Pine Script limitations, there is a maximum number of boxes and labels that can be displayed simultaneously.
• Performance Impact: Adding multiple visual elements (boxes, labels, markers) can affect the performance of the script on lower-end devices or with large amounts of data.
• Market Conditions:
• False Signals: Like any technical tool, the indicator may produce false signals, especially during volatile or erratic market conditions.
• Not a Standalone Solution: This indicator should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy, including risk management and other forms of analysis.
Conclusion
The “Top-Down Trend and Key Levels with Swing Points” indicator is a versatile tool that integrates essential aspects of technical analysis into one script. By providing insights into higher timeframe trends, highlighting key price levels, detecting swing points, and identifying ranging markets, it equips traders with valuable information to make more informed trading decisions.
