HOG Liquidity HunterHOG Liquidity Hunter – Pivot‑Based Liquidity Zones
📌 Overview
Plots dynamic support and resistance zones on swing pivots with an ATR‑based buffer. Anchored only when pivots are confirmed, the zones stay close to current price levels—ideal for spotting liquidity runs or traps.
🔧 How It Works
Detects swing highs and lows using ta.pivothigh() / ta.pivotlow() with a user‑defined lookback.
After a pivot is confirmed, calculates BSL/SSL zone = pivot ± (ATR * margin).
Zones update only on confirmed pivots—no repainting on open bars.
⚙️ Inputs
Lookback: bars to confirm pivots (e.g. 10–20).
ATR Margin Multiplier: buffer width (e.g. 1.25).
✅ Benefits
Structure‑focused: Zones align with real swing points.
Responsive yet stable: Tight ATR margin keeps zones precise, only updating on valid pivots.
Clean visuals: Two uncluttered zones—easy to interpret.
🛠 How to Use
Detect near‑zone bounce entries or exits on 4H/1D charts.
Combine with trend or volume indicators for stronger setups.
Use zones to identify potential stop‑run, liquidity re‑tests, or range turns.
⚠️ Notes & Disclaimers
Zones base off historical pivots; may lag until confirmed.
No future-looking data—relying entirely on closing bar confirmation.
Use alongside a complete trading framework; this is not a standalone signal.

ICT Judas Swing | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ICT Judas Swing Indicator! This indicator is built around the ICT's "Judas Swing" strategy. The strategy looks for a liquidity grab around NY 9:30 session and a Fair Value Gap for entry confirmation. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new ICT Judas Swing :
Implementation of ICT's Judas Swing Strategy
2 Different TP / SL Methods
Customizable Execution Settings
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The strategy begins by identifying the New York session from 9:30 to 9:45 and marking recent liquidity zones. These liquidity zones are determined by locating high and low pivot points: buyside liquidity zones are identified using high pivots that haven't been invalidated, while sellside liquidity zones are found using low pivots. A break of either buyside or sellside liquidity must occur during the 9:30-9:45 session, which is interpreted as a liquidity grab by smart money. The strategy assumes that after this liquidity grab, the price will reverse and move in the opposite direction. For entry confirmation, a fair value gap (FVG) in the opposite direction of the liquidity grab is required. A buyside liquidity grab calls for a bearish FVG, while a sellside grab requires a bullish FVG. Based on the type of FVG—bullish for buys and bearish for sells—the indicator will then generate a Buy or Sell signal.
After the Buy or Sell signal, the indicator immediately draws the take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) targets. The indicator has three different TP & SL modes, explained in the "Settings" section of this write-up.
You can set up alerts for entry and TP & SL signals, and also check the current performance of the indicator and adjust the settings accordingly to the current ticker using the backtesting dashboard.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator is an all-in-one suit for the ICT's Judas Swing concept. It's capable of plotting the strategy, giving signals, a backtesting dashboard and alerts feature. Different and customizable algorithm modes will help the trader fine-tune the indicator for the asset they are currently trading. Three different TP / SL modes are available to suit your needs. The backtesting dashboard allows you to see how your settings perform in the current ticker. You can also set up alerts to get informed when the strategy is executable for different tickers.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Swing Length -> The swing length for pivot detection. Higher settings will result in
FVG Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal, High or Extreme FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivies resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivies resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
2. TP / SL
TP / SL Method ->
a) Dynamic: The TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the current ticker.
b) Fixed : You can adjust the exact TP / SL ratios from the settings below.
Dynamic Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.
Titans Trend LinesThis indicator will plot trend lines based on recent pivot highs and lows.
The pivot sensitivity level may be customised under the indicator settings. The pivot highs and lows are identified by 'H' and 'L' markers.
Through the indicator, a purple dotted line connects the last two pivot highs and another purple dotted line connects the last two pivot lows. These lines are extended to the left and right beyond the connected points.
If a new trend line has developed due to the formation of a new pivot high or low, the last trend line will be grayed to help with referencing.
The user is advised to use this indicator at his own risk.
Zig Lines with Percent & ValueOverview, Features, and Usage:
The Zig Lines with Percent & Value is an indicator that highlights the highest and lowest points of the market from pivot points and zigzag lines based on the ZigZag Period setting. By a default value of 13 for the ZigZag Period this works well on Bitcoin or other alt coins on the 1 hour or higher timeframe charts.
What makes this indicator unique is that it draws a green line to signify an uptrend or a red line to signify a down trend. It will also show the percent difference between the previous point/line, for example: If you see a -negative percentage point with a red line drawn to it, then you are looking at a low pivot point and then as the green line is drawn to a +positive percentage value the percentage you see is the difference between the two points. This is great to see a trend reversal as you can look at previous pivot points and notice about how far the price moves before it changes direction (trend reversal).
There is an invisible EMA line that is used to assist with coloring the negative vs positive values. The value above or below the percentage is the lowest or highest price at that pivot point . The display of the price at the pivot point depends on your ZigZag Period setting and the timeframe of your chart.
Added Bollinger Bands as it fits perfectly with the visuals of the Zig Lines & Pivots.
Usage of Bollinger Bands:
~As the price or candle gets close to the top or bottom of the Bollinger band it can give you a better confirmation that the pivot location is at it's final place, and the trend is more likely to switch directions.
It’s important to know this indicator should not be used for alerts of any type it does repaint as the green or red line is drawing based on live chart data and it can change depending on the direction of the market. This is a great visual tool for trend analysis or to be used with other indicators as a confirmation for a possible good entry or exit position.

Pocket PivotsPocket Pivots are described in the book "Trade like an O'Neil Discipline" by Dr. Chris Kacher and Gil Morales. There’s no exact definition of Pocket Pivots, but there is an exact definition for the volume signature: The volume should be higher than the largest down volume of the last 10 trading days.
This is a modification of Pocket Pivots. We use the level where the Pocket Pivot occurred and draw a zone across the chart until the criteria for another Pocket Pivot is met again. This way we can use them as support/resistance zones. Instead of the volume being higher than the volume for each of the previous periods, we just use an SMA of the volume and make sure the volume on the final candle is higher than the average for the previous periods. Last but not least, we have the possibility to draw support/resistance levels off the back of different counts. Seven-count for hyper-aggressive pocket pivots, eight-count for aggressive, nine for measured and ten for passive.
Hyper-aggressive Pocket Pivots
Aggressive Pocket Pivots
Measured Pocket Pivots
Passive Pocket Pivots
All
Using "All" to see all the pivots can be messy, but the confluence of support/resistance is more than helpful for defining truly important levels.
People have created a methodology/rules for buying and selling with Pivot Points, but as I understand there's no general consensus on their application, so please do some research before you decide to use them in your trading.

Dimensional Support ResistanceDimensional Support Resistance
Overview
Dimensional Support Resistance is an open-source overlay indicator that automatically detects and displays clean, non-overlapping support and resistance levels using pivot-based analysis with intelligent filtering. It identifies significant swing highs and lows, filters them by minimum distance to prevent visual clutter, and provides volume-confirmed bounce signals.
What This Indicator Does
The indicator calculates and displays:
Dynamic Pivot Levels - Automatically detected swing highs and lows based on configurable pivot strength
Distance Filtering - Ensures levels are spaced apart by a minimum percentage to prevent overlap
S/R Zones - Visual zones around each level showing the price area of significance
Bounce Detection - Identifies when price reverses at support or resistance levels
Volume Confirmation - Strong signals require above-average volume for confirmation
How It Works
Pivot detection scans for swing highs and lows using a configurable strength parameter. A pivot low requires the low to be lower than all surrounding bars within the strength period.
Signal Generation
The indicator generates bounce signals using TradingView's built-in pivot detection combined with candle reversal confirmation:
Support Bounce: Pivot low forms with bullish close (close > open)
Resistance Bounce: Pivot high forms with bearish close (close < open)
Strong Bounce: Bounce occurs with volume 1.5x above 20-period average
A cooldown period of 15 bars prevents signal spam.
Dashboard Panel
A compact dashboard displays:
Support - Count of active support levels
Resistance - Count of active resistance levels
Dashboard position is configurable (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right).
Visual Elements
Support Lines - Green horizontal lines at support levels
Resistance Lines - Red horizontal lines at resistance levels
S/R Zones - Semi-transparent boxes around levels showing zone width
Price Labels - S: and R: labels showing exact price of nearest levels
BOUNCE Markers - Triangle shapes with text when price bounces at a level
STRONG Markers - Label shapes when bounce occurs with high volume
Input Parameters
Lookback Period (default: 100) - Historical bars to scan for pivots
Pivot Strength (default: 8) - Bars on each side required for valid pivot (higher = fewer but stronger levels)
Max Levels Each Side (default: 2) - Maximum support and resistance levels displayed
Zone Width % (default: 0.15) - Width of zones around each level as percentage of price
Min Distance Between Levels % (default: 1.0) - Minimum spacing between levels to prevent overlap
Show S/R Zones (default: true) - Toggle zone visualization
Show Bounce Signals (default: true) - Toggle signal markers
Support Color (default: #00ff88) - Color for support elements
Resistance Color (default: #ff3366) - Color for resistance elements
Suggested Use Cases
Identify key support and resistance levels for entry and exit planning
Use bounce signals as potential reversal confirmation
Combine with other indicators for confluence-based trading decisions
Monitor strong signals for high-probability setups with volume confirmation
Timeframe Recommendations
Works on all timeframes. Higher timeframes (4H, Daily) provide more significant levels with fewer signals. Lower timeframes show more granular structure but may produce more noise.
Limitations
Pivot detection requires lookback bars, so very recent pivots may not be immediately visible
Bounce signals are based on pivot formation and may lag by the pivot strength period
Levels are recalculated on each bar, so they may shift as new pivots form

Support and ResistanceSupport & Resistance Zones
This indicator automatically identifies support and resistance zones by clustering confirmed pivot highs and lows into statistically valid price areas.
Instead of drawing single horizontal lines, it creates price zones whose width is dynamically controlled using ATR (Average True Range), allowing the zones to adapt to market volatility.
Core Logic
The indicator scans a user-defined number of historical bars and detects pivot highs and pivot lows using a configurable pivot strength.
Each new pivot is evaluated against previously detected zones:
A zone becomes visible only after receiving sufficient confirmation (minimum number of pivot touches).
This ensures that only structurally meaningful levels are drawn.
Zone Construction Rules
Zones are formed by grouping pivot points whose total price range remains within ATR range
Each zone expands dynamically as new pivots confirm it
Zones are drawn as rectangular areas, not lines
Zones extend to the right, remaining active until price structure changes
This approach avoids over-plotting and reduces noise commonly seen in traditional support/resistance tools.
Dynamic Zone Coloring
Zones automatically change color based on current price position:
Support Color → Price is above the zone
Resistance Color → Price is below the zone
Neutral (In-Zone) Color → Price is trading inside the zone
This makes it easy to visually assess market context without additional indicators.
Inputs Explained
Logic Settings
Bars to Apply
Number of historical bars scanned to detect pivots and construct zones.
Pivot Strength
Number of candles required on both sides of a pivot high/low for confirmation.
Min Pivot Confirmation
Minimum number of aligned pivots required before a zone is drawn.
Styling
Support, resistance, and in-zone colors
Zone fill transparency
Why This Approach
Uses price structure, not arbitrary levels
Adapts to market volatility via ATR
Filters out weak, single-touch levels
Works across all markets and timeframes
This indicator is designed to highlight areas of interest, not generate buy or sell signals.
It is best used in combination with trend, momentum, or volume-based tools.
Structure Lite - Automatic Major Trend LinesStructure Lite – Pivot-Based Market Structure Visualization
OVERVIEW
Structure Lite is an open-source charting tool designed to assist traders in visualizing higher-timeframe market structure. The script identifies major swing points using high-period pivot analysis and projects structural support and resistance lines directly on the chart. Its purpose is to highlight persistent market structure while minimizing visual noise.
CORE CONCEPTS & CALCULATIONS
Pivot Identification
The script uses Pine Script’s built-in ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions to identify confirmed swing highs and lows. A pivot is only validated after a user-defined number of bars (Major Pivot Lookback) have formed on both sides of the price extreme, ensuring that only structurally significant pivots are selected.
Structural Pairing
Each structural line is created only after two consecutive pivots of the same type are confirmed (high-to-high or low-to-low). The script stores the price and bar index of these pivots and uses them as fixed anchor points.
Line Projection
Once a valid pivot pair is formed, the script draws a line between the two points using line.new() and extends it forward using extend.right. These lines represent projected structural boundaries rather than trade signals.
Object Management
To maintain chart clarity and performance, the script manages all drawn objects through a line array. A FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method is applied so that only the three most recent structural lines remain visible. Older lines are automatically deleted as new ones are created.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY & ORIGINALITY
While many indicators plot frequent swing points or short-term pivots, Structure Lite focuses on structural persistence. By filtering for higher-period pivots and limiting the number of displayed projections, the script emphasizes dominant market structure rather than short-term fluctuations. This approach is intended to support discretionary analysis, not replace it.
HOW TO USE
Major Pivot Lookback
Increase the value to focus on higher-timeframe structure (e.g., swing or position trading).
Decrease the value to visualize intraday structural levels.
Visual Encoding
Green lines represent projected structural support
Red lines represent projected structural resistance
Visibility Control
A boolean input allows all structure lines to be hidden instantly to restore a clean price chart.
LIMITATIONS & DISCLAIMER
This script is a visualization tool only. It does not generate trade signals, entry or exit points, alerts, or directional forecasts. All plotted levels are derived from historical price action and may change as new pivots form. The script is provided for educational and analytical purposes and should be used in conjunction with other forms of market analysis
Volume Profile DeltaThis indicator calculates the Volume Profile Delta (VPD). It constructs a high-resolution volume profile for each bar using intra-bar data, offering a detailed understanding of buying and selling pressure at discrete price levels.
Key Features:
Statistical Volume Profile Engine: For each bar, the indicator builds a high-resolution volume profile on a lower 'Intra-Bar Timeframe'. Instead of simple tick counting, it uses statistical models ('PDF' allocation) to distribute volume across price levels and advanced classifiers ('Dynamic' split) to determine the buy/sell pressure within that profile, providing a more nuanced delta calculation.
"Delta Candle" Visualization: The per-bar VPD is displayed as a candle, where:
Open: Always anchored at the zero line.
High/Low: Represent the peak buying (CVD High) and selling (CVD Low) pressure accumulated within that bar's profile.
Close: The final net delta value (CVD) for the bar.
Customizable Moving Average: An optional moving average of the net delta (Close) can be added. The MA type, length, and an optional Volume weighted setting are customizable.
Intra-Bar Peak Pivot Detection: Automatically identifies and plots significant turning points (pivots) in the peak buying (High) and selling (Low) pressure.
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Pivot signals are confirmed using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted after the Pivot Right Bars input has passed, which introduces an inherent lag.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF Output: The entire analysis (Delta Candles, MA, Pivots) can be calculated on a higher timeframe (using the Timeframe input), with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Pivot detection (Calculate Pivots) is disabled if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 8 alerts for:
The net delta crossing its moving average.
The detection of new peak buying or selling pivots.
Conditions of agreement or disagreement between the net delta and the main bar's direction.
Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting) This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the values on the current, unclosed bar (the real-time bar) will update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only be considered final after the main chart bar has closed.

Volume DeltaThis indicator provides a detailed view of Volume Delta (VD) by analyzing order flow on a lower, intra-bar timeframe. For each bar on the chart, it calculates the net difference between buying and selling volume based on the direction of the intra-bar candles.
Key Features:
Intra-Bar Delta Calculation: The indicator analyzes price action on a user-defined lower timeframe ('Intra-Bar Timeframe') to construct a detailed picture of the underlying order flow for each bar on the main chart.
"Delta Candle" Visualization: The delta for each bar is shown as a candle, where:
Open: Always starts at the zero line.
High/Low: Represent the peak buying and selling pressure accumulated within the bar.
Close: The final net delta value for that bar. This visualization shows absorption, exhaustion, and conviction in a single glance.
Customizable Moving Average: An optional moving average of the net delta (Close) can be added. The MA type, length, and an optional Volume weighted setting are customizable.
Intra-Bar Peak Pivot Detection: Automatically identifies and plots significant turning points (pivots) in the peak buying (High) and selling (Low) pressure.
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Pivot signals are confirmed using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted after the Pivot Right Bars input has passed, which introduces an inherent lag.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF Output: The entire analysis (Delta Candles, MA, Pivots) can be calculated on a higher timeframe (using the Timeframe input), with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Pivot detection (Calculate Pivots) is disabled if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 8 alerts for:
The net delta crossing its moving average.
The detection of new peak buying or selling pivots.
Conditions of agreement or disagreement between the net delta and the main bar's direction (absolute volume).
Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting) This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the values on the current, unclosed bar (the real-time bar) will update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is normal and necessary for this type of analysis.

Inside SwingsOverview
The Inside Swings indicator identifies and visualizes "inside swing" patterns in price action. These patterns occur when price creates a series of pivots that form overlapping ranges, indicating potential consolidation or reversal zones.
What are Inside Swings?
Inside swings are specific pivot patterns where:
- HLHL Pattern: High-Low-High-Low sequence where the first high is higher than the second high, and the first low is lower than the second low
- LHLH Pattern: Low-High-Low-High sequence where the first low is lower than the second low, and the first high is higher than the second high
Here an Example
These patterns create overlapping price ranges that often act as:
- Support/Resistance zones
- Consolidation areas
- Potential reversal points
- Breakout levels

Simple Pivot Zones (Error-free) — v11. Core Idea
The indicator we built is a “pivot-based zone detector with breakout signals.”
It does three things:
1. Finds important swing highs and swing lows in price (pivots).
2. Creates support and resistance zones around those pivots using volatility (ATR).
3. Watches price action to see if those zones get broken, then gives signals.
________________________________________
2. What is a Pivot?
A pivot high happens when the price makes a local peak — a bar is higher than the bars around it.
A pivot low happens when the price makes a local dip — a bar is lower than the bars around it.
These are natural turning points in the market, showing where buyers or sellers had strong control temporarily. Traders often use them to draw support (pivot lows) and resistance (pivot highs).
________________________________________
3. Why Use ATR for Zones?
ATR (Average True Range) measures the average volatility of a market. Instead of drawing just a flat line at the pivot, we create a zone above and below it, sized according to ATR.
Example:
• If ATR is 20 points and zone size is 0.5, then the zone extends 10 points above and below the pivot level.
This turns thin “lines” into thicker areas of interest. Real markets don’t respect razor-thin levels, but zones are more realistic.
________________________________________
4. How Support & Resistance Zones Work
• Resistance zones are created at pivot highs. They mark where sellers were strong before.
• Support zones are created at pivot lows. They mark where buyers were strong before.
Over time, these zones extend forward until the price interacts with them.
________________________________________
5. Breakout Detection
The indicator checks whether the price closes beyond the last pivot high or low:
• If price closes above the last pivot high, it means buyers have broken resistance.
• If price closes below the last pivot low, it means sellers have broken support.
These moments are significant because they often trigger trend continuation.
________________________________________
6. Parameters It Uses
1. Pivot Length – how many bars to look back and forward to confirm a pivot. A higher length makes pivots less frequent but stronger.
2. ATR Length and Multiplier – defines the size of the zones (wider zones in more volatile markets).
3. Max Zones to Keep – avoids clutter by keeping only the most recent zones.
4. Colors & Styling – helps traders visually separate bullish and bearish zones.
________________________________________
7. How It Helps Traders
• Visual clarity: Instead of guessing support and resistance, the chart automatically highlights them.
• Dynamic adjustment: Zones adapt to volatility using ATR, making them useful in both calm and volatile markets.
• Breakout signals: Traders get notified when price actually breaks key levels, instead of reacting late.
• Cleaner charts: Instead of dozens of hand-drawn lines, the tool manages zones for you, deleting old ones.
________________________________________
8. The Logic in One Sentence
It finds important swing highs and lows, turns them into support/resistance zones scaled by volatility, and alerts you when the market breaks through them.
________________________________________
👉 In practice, this helps traders spot where the market is likely to bounce or break, and gives a framework to plan trades — for example, buying on bullish breakouts or selling on bearish breakouts.

📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Key levels are important areas in a chart where a significant reaction is expected. In this indicator, you can enable up to the previous 10 days highs and lows, yesterday's close / today's open, and the latest pivot points. Key levels generally act like support & resistance. Here are a few examples :
As shown, key levels play an important role determining the current trend and can be useful in identifying potential levels where the market will reverse or breakout.
🚩UNIQUENESS
1. More Key Levels
We believe that past key levels may be as important as current ones. Some of the key-levels indicators do not include them even though strong reactions can happen around them. Thus, our indicator let's you check up to 10 days backwards.
You can select the ones you think that are the most important and just enable them, making the indicator customizable to your liking.
2. Pre-Market Data
With assets that have pre-market data available, it's crucial to analyze it to have a better understanding of the market in regular trading hours. Our indicator will plot pre-market highs and lows, even if your chart is in the regular trading hours only mode. We believe this will be helpful with your analyzing process.
3. Combination
The indicator can dynamically combine same key levels, so you can have a clear look to the chart without lines & text colliding with each other. This would also help you determine stronger key levels as if a key level occured more than a time, it could be a sign that it's a stronger one. An example :
To summarize, using key levels is an essential skill while detecting zones where strong reactions are expected. This indicator provides up to 10 day's high and low levels, and all of them can be individually turned on / off. Traders that believe older key levels can be important and want to look at the whole picture may use this feature. Also for assets that have pre-market data available, the indicator provides pre-market levels as well. Besides all that, High & Low pivots will provide latest key levels so traders can use them in their decisions.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
You can enable / disable :
1. Today's High / Low / Open
2. Yesterday's High / Low / Close
3. 3th-10th Day High / Low

5. Previous Month High / Low
You can also change the colors and switch their line styles between solid, dashed and dotted.
2. High & Low Pivots
Enabled -> Enable / Disable High & Low Pivots
Pivot Range -> The range used in the detection of pivot points. Larger values will result in less pivot points, while smaller values will provide more pivot points. This essentially determines how many bars to the right & left shouldn't exceed the pivot's high or low.
You can also change the text color and text size of the pivots from the settings.
3. Style settings
Text Offset -> How many bars of offset should the texts have to the right. Increase if text collides with bars while Align Labels option is set to "Right".
Extend Lines -> If enabled, lines will be extended infinitely to right & left. If disabled, all lines will be clamped in their timelines.
Show Line Values -> If enabled, line information text will contain their price.
Align Labels ->
Right = Align line labels to right.
Center = Line labels will always be at the center of the screen.
Three Candle Rolling Pivot Range**Strategy Description: Three Previous Candle Rolling Pivot Range**
**Introduction:**
This trading strategy is based on the concept of the rolling pivot range calculated from the high, low, and close prices of the three previous candles. The rolling pivot range serves as a dynamic support and resistance level, and this strategy aims to capture potential trading opportunities based on the price relationship with this range.
**Strategy Components:**
**1. Rolling Pivot Range Calculation:**
- **Rolling Pivot:** Calculate the rolling pivot by averaging the high, low, and close prices of the three previous candles.
- **Second Number:** Find the midpoint between the high and low of the three previous candles.
- **Pivot Differential:** Measure the difference between the rolling pivot and the second number.
- **Rolling Pivot Range High:** Set as rolling pivot + pivot differential.
- **Rolling Pivot Range Low:** Set as rolling pivot - pivot differential.
**2. Entry Rules:**
- **Long Entry:**
- Initiate a long entry when the current close is above both the rolling pivot range high and the rolling pivot.
- Continue the long entry as long as both the rolling pivot range high and low are higher than the corresponding values of the previous candle.
- **Short Entry:**
- Start a short entry when the current close is below both the rolling pivot range high and the rolling pivot.
- Continue the short entry as long as both the rolling pivot range high and low are lower than the corresponding values of the previous candle.
**Visualization:**
- **Plotting:**
- The rolling pivot range high, rolling pivot, and rolling pivot range low are plotted on the chart for visual reference.
- Long entry points are marked with a green triangle below the corresponding candle.
- Short entry points are marked with a red triangle above the corresponding candle.
**Conclusion:**
This strategy leverages the rolling pivot range to identify potential reversal points in the market. By considering the relative position of the current price compared to the dynamic support and resistance levels, the strategy aims to capture favorable trading opportunities. However, like all trading strategies, it should be used cautiously and backtested thoroughly on historical data to ensure its effectiveness before implementation in a live trading environment. Additionally, risk management techniques should always be applied to safeguard trading capital.
Mobius - Trend Pivot// Mobius
// V01.01.29.2019
// Uses trend of higher highs with higher lows and trend of lower lows with lower highs to locate pivots. Distance for trend is set by the user. Confirmation of a reversal from pivots is set with a multiple of the pivot bars range. That multiple is also a user input.
// Trading Rules
// 1) Trade when price crosses and closes outside the pivot Confirmation line. At that point looking for best entry. Min trade is 2 contracts
// 2) Know your risk point before entering trade. Typical risk point is the pivot line itself. If your risk is crossed look for an exit. Never use hard stops - you'll often get out for little or no loss
// 3) Know your Risk off point before entering. Typical Risk Off is an ATR multiple. Offer Risk Off as soon as possible for a Risk Free trade
// 4) set mental stop one tick above entry when Risk Off is achieved
// 5) if trade continues your way move mental stop for your runner to last support / resistance each time a new support / resistance is hit.
The script is an indicator called "Mobius - Trend Pivot" and is designed to be overlaid on price charts. It utilizes a concept called "Mobius - Trend Pivot" to identify potential reversal points in the market based on the trend of higher highs with higher lows and lower lows with lower highs. The user can adjust the parameters through input variables. The script expects two inputs: "n" and "R_Mult." The "n" input determines the distance for trend calculation, and the "R_Mult" input is used for confirming a reversal from the pivots. The script calculates the True Range, which is the maximum of the current bar's high minus the previous bar's close or the previous bar's close minus the current bar's low. It then identifies the highest high (hh) and lowest low (ll) based on the trend criteria using the input variable "n." The script plots lines representing the pivot points, their confirmation levels, and risk-off levels. It also generates alerts when the price crosses above or below the confirmation or risk-off levels. Additionally, it plots shapes (arrows) on the chart to indicate bullish or bearish conditions based on the crossover or crossunder of the price with the pivot levels.
