Chandelier Exit Pro w/ExtensionsChandelier Exit Pro w/Extensions
The Chandelier Exit Pro w/Extensions indicator is designed to assist traders in managing risk and identifying trend reversals. The strategy is based on the Chandelier Exit concept, originally created by Charles Le Beau. It uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate dynamic stop levels that adjust based on market volatility. This script not only implements the standard Chandelier Exit, but also introduces extension levels and alerts to enhance decision-making.
Key Features:
➡️Dynamic Stop Levels: The indicator calculates stop levels for both long and short positions based on an ATR multiple. This allows traders to determine exit points by monitoring when the price crosses above or below these levels. These levels adapt in real-time based on price volatility, making them a versatile tool for trend-following strategies.
➡️Extension Levels: In addition to the primary stop levels, the script includes extension levels for more advanced stop-loss management. Traders can view active and extension levels separately, providing more flexibility in their exit strategies.
➡️Labels and Visual Cues: The indicator provides dynamic labels that automatically update and follow the plotted stop levels. Labels include the ATR multiplier value (e.g., "2.5" or "2.5ext"), clearly showing the significance of each level. When price crosses below or above a level, the corresponding label is highlighted, aiding traders in quickly identifying the most relevant stop level.
➡️Bar Confirmation and Alerts: The script includes an "await bar confirmation" option to ensure that the stop levels and alerts only trigger after the bar has closed. Alerts are customizable and will notify traders when price crosses critical levels, helping to make timely decisions without the need to constantly monitor charts.
➡️Multiple ATR Levels for Enhanced Precision: The indicator supports up to four different ATR levels, each with customizable multipliers. This allows traders to set different thresholds for exits based on varying degrees of volatility. For example, Level 1 (2.5x ATR) might represent a tighter stop, while Level 4 (10x ATR) could serve as a wider stop for long-term positions.
➡️Calc_bars_count: Improves efficiency of the indicator by reducing the on-chart calculations in to the past. This input can be found at the bottom of the INPUTS tab.
How it Helps Traders:
💥Trend Identification: By using the Chandelier Exit levels, traders can identify when the trend is likely to reverse. When the price crosses below the stop level in a long trade or above the stop level in a short trade, it signals a potential exit point.
💥Volatility-based Adjustments: Unlike static stop-loss methods, the ATR-based stop levels dynamically adjust based on the market’s volatility. This means tighter stops during low volatility periods and wider stops during high volatility periods, reducing the chance of being stopped out prematurely.
💥Risk Management: The dynamic stop levels and extension levels provide a structured way to manage risk. Traders can set tighter stops for short-term trades and wider stops for longer-term trades. The script's visual labels make it easy to track these levels in real-time.
💥Automation with Alerts: The built-in alert system ensures that traders are notified when key levels are crossed. This helps to avoid emotional decision-making and allows for better execution of trading strategies.
Confluence and Price Fluidity:
One of the powerful ways to enhance the effectiveness of the Chandelier Exit indicator is by using it in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to create confluence. Confluence occurs when multiple indicators or price action signals align, providing stronger confirmation for a trade decision. For example:
🎯Support and Resistance Levels: Traders can use the Chandelier Exit levels in combination with key support and resistance zones. If the price is nearing a support level and the Chandelier Exit signals a bullish reversal, this alignment strengthens the case for entering a long position.
🎯Moving Averages: When the Chandelier Exit signals a trend reversal and this is confirmed by a crossover in moving averages (such as a 50-day and 200-day moving average), traders gain additional confidence in the trade direction.
🎯Momentum Indicators: Traders can also look for momentum indicators like RSI or MACD to confirm the strength of a trend or potential reversal. For instance, if the Chandelier Exit triggers a short signal and the RSI also shows overbought conditions, this could provide stronger confirmation to exit a long trade or enter a short position.
🎯Candlestick Patterns: Price fluidity can be monitored using candlestick formations. For example, a bearish engulfing pattern near a Chandelier Exit resistance level offers confluence, adding confidence to the signal to close or short the trade.
By combining the Chandelier Exit with other tools, traders ensure that they are not relying on a single indicator. This layered approach can reduce the likelihood of false signals and improve overall trading accuracy.
Practical Use Case:
Imagine a trader enters a long position, and the price moves favorably. Using the Chandelier Exit, the trader sets the initial stop level at 2.5x ATR below the highest close. As the price continues to rise, the stop level follows the price, locking in profits. If the market suddenly turns, the price crossing below the stop level signals an exit, helping the trader preserve gains. With extension levels, the trader can further refine exits, adjusting based on their risk tolerance and market conditions.
Good luck and I hope that you can find a place in your tool bag to use this dynamic indicator 🙏
Liquidity Pools [LuxAlgo]The Liquidity Pools indicator identifies and displays estimated liquidity pools on the chart by analyzing high and low wicked price areas, along with the amount, and frequency of visits to each zone.
🔶 USAGE
Liquidity Pools are areas where smaller participants are likely to place stop-limit orders to manage risks at reasonable swing points. These zones attract institutional traders who use the pending orders as liquidity to enter larger positions, aiming to influence price movements. By monitoring these zones, traders can anticipate market movements and potentially benefit from these dynamics.
Beyond general liquidity theory, identifying zones consistently visited by price aids in using them as support and resistance zones. By analyzing these areas, we can assess how effectively participants enter or exit these zones, helping to gauge their importance.
In the screenshots below, we will explore both sides of the same chart in more detail to display how each zone could be viewed from a bullish and bearish perspective.
Bullish Zones Example:
Bearish Zones Example:
🔶 DETAILS
The method behind this indicator focuses on identifying a swing point and tracking future interactions with it. It adaptively identifies high and low "potential zones". These zones are monitored over time; if a zone meets the user-defined criteria, the script marks and displays these zones on the chart.
🔹 Identification
The method to identify Liquidity Pools in this indicator revolves around 3 main parameters. By utilizing these settings, the indicator can be tailored to produce zones that fit the specific strategic needs of each trader.
Zone Identification Parameters
Zone Contact Amount: This setting determines the number of times each zone must be in contact with the price (and bought or sold out of) before being identified by the indicator as a Liquidity Pool.
For example: When a zone is first displayed, it is considered as having been reached 1 time. When the zone is re-tested for the first time, this is considered the 2nd contact, since the price has seen the zone a total of 2 times.
Bars Required Between Each Contact: This is used to rule out (or in) consecutive candles reaching each zone from the calculation, adding a separation length between zone contact points to refine the zones produced.
For example: When set to "2", the first contact point (first re-test) will be ignored by the script if it is not at least 2 bars away from the initial zone proposal point.
Confirmation Bars: After a zone has reached the desired Contact Amount, this setting will cause the script to wait a specified number of bars before identifying a zone. While this might initially seem counterintuitive, by waiting, we are able to watch the market's reaction to the proposed zone and respond accordingly. If the price were to continue through the potential liquidity zone Immediately, it would not be logical to consider this area as a valid Liquidity Pool.
Displayed in this screenshot, you will see the specific points we are looking for in order to identify these zones.
🔹 Display
After a Liquidity Pool is identified, its boundary line is extended to the current price to keep it in view for reference. This extension will continue until the zone is mitigated (price has closed above or below the zone), after which it will stop extending.
Candles can optionally be colored when returning to the most recent Liquidity Pool if it is still unmitigated, and will only color after the zone is displayed on the chart. Because of this, if a candle is colored within a zone, then its color comes from being inside a previously unmitigated zone.
🔹 Volume
Each time a candle overlaps an Unmitigated Zone, a percentage of its volume will be accumulated to the total for each specific zone. The volume total is displayed on the right end of the extended boundary lines.
This volume data could help to determine the importance of specific zones based on the amount of volume traded within.
Note: This volume is fractional to the percentage of candles that are contained within the zone. If a candle is 50% within a zone, The zone will receive 50% of the candle's volume added to its current total.
🔶 SETTINGS
See above for a more detailed explanation of the "Zone Identification" parameters.
Zone Contact Amount: The number of times the price must bounce from this zone before considering it as a liquidity pool.
Bars Required Between Each Contact: The number of bars to wait before checking for another zone contact.
Confirmation Bars: The number of bars to wait before identifying a zone to confirm validity.
Display Volume Labels: Toggles the display for the volume readout for each Liquidity Pool.
Fill Candles Inside Zones: Toggles the display of colored candles within Liquidity Pools.

ATR Adjusted RSIATR Adjusted RSI Indicator
By Nathan Farmer
The ATR Adjusted RSI Indicator is a versatile indicator designed primarily for trend-following strategies, while also offering configurations for overbought/oversold (OB/OS) signals, making it suitable for mean-reversion setups. This tool combines the classic Relative Strength Index (RSI) with a unique Average True Range (ATR)-based smoothing mechanism, allowing traders to adjust their RSI signals according to market volatility for more reliable entries and exits.
Key Features:
ATR Weighted RSI:
At the core of this indicator is the ATR-adjusted RSI line, where the RSI is smoothed based on volatility (measured by the ATR). When volatility increases, the smoothing effect intensifies, resulting in a more stable and reliable RSI reading. This makes the indicator more responsive to market conditions, which is especially useful in trend-following systems.
Multiple Signal Types:
This indicator offers a variety of signal-generation methods, adaptable to different market environments and trading preferences:
RSI MA Crossovers: Generates signals when the RSI crosses above or below its moving average, with the flexibility to choose between different moving average types (SMA, EMA, WMA, etc.).
Midline Crossovers: Provides trend confirmation when either the RSI or its moving average crosses the 50 midline, signaling potential trend reversals.
ATR-Inversely Weighted RSI Variations: Uses the smoothed, ATR-adjusted RSI for a more refined and responsive trend-following signal. There are variations both for the MA crossover and the midline crossover.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions: Ideal for mean reversion setups, where signals are triggered when the RSI or its moving average crosses over overbought or oversold levels.
Flexible Customization:
With a wide range of customizable options, you can tailor the indicator to fit your personal trading style. Choose from various moving average types for the RSI, modify the ATR smoothing length, and adjust overbought/oversold levels to optimize your signals.
Usage:
While this indicator is primarily designed for trend-following, its OB/OS configurations make it highly effective for mean-reverting setups as well. Depending on your selected signal type, the relevant indicator line will change color between green and red to visually signal long or short opportunities. This flexibility allows traders to switch between trending and sideways market strategies seamlessly.
A Versatile Tool:
The ATR Adjusted RSI Indicator is a valuable component of any trading system, offering enhanced signals that adapt to market volatility. However, it is not recommended to rely on this indicator alone, especially without thorough backtesting. Its performance varies across different assets and timeframes, so it’s essential to experiment with the parameters to ensure consistent results before applying it in live trading.
Recommendation:
Before incorporating this indicator into live trading, backtest it extensively. Given its flexibility and wide range of signal-generation methods, backtesting allows you to optimize the settings for your preferred assets and timeframes. Only consider using it on it's own if you are confident in its performance based on your own backtest results, and even then, it is not recommended.

[3Commas] Signal BuilderSignal Builder is a tool designed to help traders create custom buy and sell signals by combining multiple technical indicators. Its flexibility allows traders to set conditions based on their specific strategy, whether they’re into scalping, swing trading, or long-term investing. Additionally, its integration with 3Commas bots makes it a powerful choice for those looking to automate their trades, though it’s also ideal for traders who prefer receiving alerts and making manual decisions.
🔵 How does Signal Builder work?
Signal Builder allows users to define custom conditions using popular technical indicators, which, when met, generate clear buy or sell signals. These signals can be used to trigger TradingView alerts, ensuring that you never miss a market opportunity. Additionally, all conditions are evaluated using "AND" logic, meaning signals are only activated when all user-defined conditions are met. This increases precision and helps avoid false signals.
🔵 Available indicators and recommended settings:
Signal Builder provides access to a wide range of technical indicators, each customizable to popular settings that maximize effectiveness:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): An oscillator that measures the relative strength of price over a specific period. Traders typically configure it with 14 periods, using levels of 30 (oversold) and 70 (overbought) to identify potential reversals.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): A key indicator tracking the crossover between two moving averages. Common settings include 12 and 26 periods for the moving averages, with a 9-period signal line to detect trend changes.
Ultimate Oscillator: Combines three different time frames to offer a comprehensive view of buying and selling pressure. Popular settings are 7, 14, and 28 periods.
Bollinger Bands %B: Provides insight into where the price is relative to its upper and lower bands. Standard settings include a 20-period moving average and a standard deviation of 2.
ADX (Average Directional Index): Measures the strength of a trend. Values above 25 typically indicate a strong trend, while values below suggest weak or sideways movement.
Stochastic Oscillator: A momentum indicator comparing the closing price to its range over a defined period. Popular configurations include 14 periods for %K and 3 for %D smoothing.
Parabolic SAR: Ideal for identifying trend reversals and entry/exit points. Commonly configured with a 0.02 step and a 0.2 maximum.
Money Flow Index (MFI): Similar to RSI but incorporates volume into the calculation. Standard settings use 14 periods, with levels of 20 and 80 as oversold and overbought thresholds.
Commodity Channel Index (CCI): Measures the deviation of price from its average. Traders often use a 20-period setting with levels of +100 and -100 to identify extreme overbought or oversold conditions.
Heikin Ashi Candles: These candles smooth out price fluctuations to show clearer trends. Commonly used in trend-following strategies to filter market noise.
🔵 How to use Signal Builder:
Configure indicators: Select the indicators that best fit your strategy and adjust their settings as needed. You can combine multiple indicators to define precise entry and exit conditions.
Define custom signals: Create buy or sell conditions that trigger when your selected indicators meet the criteria you’ve set. For example, configure a buy signal when RSI crosses above 30 and MACD confirms with a bullish crossover.
TradingView alerts: Set up alerts in TradingView to receive real-time notifications when the conditions you’ve defined are met, allowing you to react quickly to market opportunities without constantly monitoring charts.
Monitor with the panel: Signal Builder includes a visual panel that shows active conditions for each indicator in real time, helping you keep track of signals without manually checking each indicator.
🔵 3Commas integration:
In addition to being a valuable tool for any trader, Signal Builder is optimized to work seamlessly with 3Commas bots through Webhooks. This allows you to automate your trades based on the signals you’ve configured, ensuring that no opportunity is missed when your defined conditions are met. If you prefer automation, Signal Builder can send buy or sell signals to your 3Commas bots, enhancing your trading process and helping you manage multiple trades more efficiently.
🔵 Example of use:
Imagine you trade in volatile markets and want to trigger a sell signal when:
Stochastic Oscillator indicates overbought conditions with the %K value crossing below 80.
Bollinger Bands %B shows the price has surpassed the upper band, suggesting a potential reversal.
ADX is below 20, indicating that the trend is weak and could be about to change.
With Signal Builder , you can configure these conditions to trigger a sell signal only when all are met simultaneously. Then, you can set up a TradingView alert to notify you as soon as the signal is activated, giving you the opportunity to react quickly and adjust your strategy accordingly.

Fourier Transformed & Kalman Filtered EMA Crossover [Mattes]The Fourier Transformed & Kalman Filtered EMA Crossover (FTKF EMAC) is a trend-following indicator that leverages Fourier Transform approximation, Kalman Filtration, and two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) of different lengths to provide accurate and smooth market trend signals. By combining these three components, it captures the underlying market cycles, reduces noise, and produces actionable insights, making it suitable for detecting both emerging trends and confirming existing ones.
TECHNICALITIES:
>>> The Fourier Transform approximation is designed to identify dominant cyclical patterns in price action by focusing on key frequencies, while filtering out noise and less significant movements. It emphasizes the most meaningful price cycles, enabling the indicator to isolate important trends while ignoring minor fluctuations. This cyclical awareness adds an extra layer of depth to trend detection, allowing the EMAs to work with a cleaner and more reliable data set.
>>> The Kalman Filter adds dynamic noise reduction, adjusting its predictions of future price trends based on past and current data. As new price data comes in, the filter recalibrates itself to ensure that the price action remains smooth and devoid of erratic movements. This real-time adjustment is key to minimizing lag while avoiding false signals, which ensures that the EMAs react to more accurate and stable market data. The Kalman Filter’s ability to smooth price data without losing sensitivity to trend changes complements the Fourier approximation, ensuring a high level of precision in volatile and stable market environments.
>>> The EMA Crossover involves using two EMAs: a shorter EMA that reacts quickly to price movements and a longer EMA that responds more slowly. The shorter EMA is responsible for capturing immediate market shifts, detecting potential bullish or bearish trends. The longer EMA smooths out price fluctuations and provides trend confirmation, working with the shorter EMA to ensure the signals are reliable. When the shorter EMA crosses above the longer EMA, it indicates a bullish trend, likewise when it goes below the longer EMA, it signals a bearish trend. This setup provides a clear way to track market direction, with color-coded signals (green for bullish, red for bearish) for visual clarity. The flexibility of adjusting the EMA periods allows traders to fine-tune the indicator to their preferred timeframe and strategy, making it adaptable to different market conditions.
|-> A key technical aspect is that the first EMA should always be shorter than the second one. If the first EMA is longer than the second, the tool’s effectiveness is compromised because the faster EMA is designed to signal long conditions, while the longer one is made for signaling a bearish trend. Reversing their roles would lead to delayed or confused signals, reducing the indicator’s ability to detect trend shifts early and making it less efficient in volatile markets. This is the only key weakness of the indicator, failure to submit to this rule will result in confusion.
>>> These components work together like a clock to create a comprehensive and effective trend-following system. The Fourier approximation highlights key cyclical movements, the Kalman Filter refines these movements by removing noise, and the EMAs interpret the filtered data to generate actionable trend signals. Each component enhances the next, ensuring that the final output is both responsive and reliable, with minimal false signals or lag. creating an indicator using widespread concepts which haven't been combined before.
Summary
This indicator combines Fourier Transform approximation, Kalman Filtration, and two EMAs of different lengths to deliver accurate and timely trend-following signals. The Fourier approximation identifies dominant market cycles, while the Kalman Filter dynamically removes noise and refines the price data in real time. The two EMAs then use this filtered data to generate buy and sell signals based on their crossovers. The shorter EMA reacts quickly to price changes, while the longer EMA provides smoother trend confirmation. The components work in synergy to capture trends with minimal false signals or lag, ensuring traders can act promptly on market shifts. Customizable EMA periods make the tool adaptable to different market conditions, enhancing its versatility for various trading strategies.
To use the indicator, traders should adjust the EMA lengths based on their timeframe and strategy, ensuring that the shorter EMA remains shorter than the longer EMA to preserve the tool’s responsiveness. The color-coded signals offer visual clarity, making it easy to identify potential entry and exit points. This confluence of Fourier, Kalman, and EMA methodologies provides a smooth, highly effective trend-following tool that excels in both trending and ranging markets.

Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA)Another simple easy to use indicator that incorporates mean reversion and trend following.
Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) is an indicator developed by Perry Kaufman that adjusts its sensitivity based on market volatility. It is designed to react more quickly during trending markets and slow down in sideways or volatile markets. The primary idea is that in a trending market, the moving average should be more sensitive to price changes, while in a non-trending market, it should be less responsive to noise.
KAMA Formula
The formula for the Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average is:
Efficiency Ratio (ER): Measures the efficiency of price movement over a given period.
ER
=
Smoothing Factor
Volatility
=
Sum of absolute price change
Sum of absolute price movement
ER=
Volatility
Smoothing Factor
=
Sum of absolute price movement
Sum of absolute price change
The Efficiency Ratio is calculated by taking the price change over a defined period and dividing it by the total price movement (which is the sum of absolute price changes).
Smoothing Constant (SC): This is a factor used to adjust the moving average's responsiveness:
SC

)
SC=ER×(2/(n+1))+(1−ER)×(2/(n+1))
where n is the length of the moving average period.
Steps to Calculate KAMA:
Efficiency Ratio (ER):
Calculate the sum of absolute price changes over the chosen period.
Calculate the sum of absolute price movements over the same period.
Smoothing Constant (SC):
Use the Efficiency Ratio to adjust the smoothing factor.
KAMA Calculation:
The initial KAMA is the simple moving average (SMA) of the first n periods.
For subsequent periods, KAMA is calculated using a formula based on the smoothing constant and previous KAMA values.

Candle Range Theory | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Candle Range Theory Indicator! This powerful tool offers a strategy built around the Candle Range Theory, which analyzes market movements through the relative size and structure of price candles. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new Candle Range Theory Indicator :
Implementation of the Candle Range Theory
FVG & Order Block Entry Methods
2 Different TP / SL Methods
Customizable Execution Settings
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The Candle Range Theory (CRT) indicator operates by identifying significant price movements through the relative size and structure of candlesticks. A key part of the strategy is determining large candles based on their range compared to the Average True Range (ATR) in a higher timeframe. Once identified, a breakout of either the high wick or the low wick of the large candle is required. This breakout is considered a liquidity grab. After that, the indicator waits for confirmation through Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) or Order Blocks (OBs). The confirmation structure must be the opposite direction of the breakout, for example if the high wick is broken, a bearish FVG is required for the short entry. After a confirmation signal is received, the indicator will trigger entry points based on your chosen entry method (FVG or OB), and exit points will be calculated using either a dynamic ATR-based TP/SL method or fixed percentages. Alerts for Buy, Sell, Take-Proft, and Stop-Loss are available.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator stands out because it combines two highly effective entry methods: Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks (OBs). You can choose between these strategies depending on market conditions. Additionally, the dynamic TP/SL system uses the ticker's volatility to automatically calculate stop-loss and take-profit targets. The backtesting dashboard provides metrics about the performance of the indicator. You can use it to tune the settings for best use in the current tiker. The Candle Range Theory approach offers more flexibility compared to traditional indicators, allowing for better customization and control based on your risk tolerance.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Higher Timeframe: Customize the higher timeframe for analysis. Recommended combinations include M15 -> H4, H4 -> Daily, Daily -> Weekly, and Weekly -> Monthly.
HTF Candle Size: Define the size of the higher timeframe candles as Big, Normal, or Small to filter valid setups based on their range relative to ATR.
Entry Mode: Choose between FVGs and Order Blocks for your entry triggers.
Require Retracement: Enable this option if you want a retracement to the FVG or OB for entry confirmation.
Show HTF Candle Lines: Toggle to display the higher timeframe candle lines for better visual clarity.
2. Fair Value Gaps
FVG 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 sensitivities resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivities resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
3. Order Blocks
Swing Length: Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order blocks.
4. 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.

TS Volatility-Adjusted EWMAThe TS Volatility-Adjusted Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) is a dynamic trend-following indicator designed to adapt to changing market volatility. Unlike traditional moving averages, this indicator adjusts its sensitivity based on market conditions, making it more responsive during periods of high volatility and smoother when markets are calmer.
Key Features:
Volatility Adjustment: The EWMA length is dynamically scaled using the Average True Range (ATR), making it adaptive to market volatility. This allows the indicator to react quickly when volatility spikes and remain stable when volatility drops.
User-Controlled Smoothing: The indicator includes an optional smoothing period, allowing you to adjust how smooth or reactive the line is to price changes. If you prefer a more smoothed-out trend, simply increase the smoothing length.
This indicator is perfect for trend-following traders who want an adaptive tool that stays responsive to the market’s volatility. The TS Volatility-Adjusted EWMA helps you confidently follow market trends, whether you’re riding a long-term trend or catching shorter-term movements.
DEB SuperTrend [Mattes]The Dynamic Envelope Based Supertrend integrates two key concepts: dynamic envelopes and the Supertrend, creating a powerful trend-following tool. Understanding its functionality requires a closer look at how the envelopes are constructed and how they interact with price action.
Dynamic Envelopes
>>> Dynamic envelopes are bands that surround a central moving average (MA) which is set by the user. These are then calculated based on the standard deviation of price movements over a specified period. The formula for the upper and lower envelopes is as follows:
Upper Envelope=MA+(Multiplier×STD)
Lower Envelope=MA−(Multiplier×STD)
This dynamic approach ensures that the envelopes expand and contract based on market volatility. In periods of high volatility, the envelopes widen, allowing for more price movement without triggering false signals. Conversely, in low-volatility periods, the envelopes tighten, enhancing sensitivity to price changes.
Interaction with the Supertrend
The Supertrend component is a trend-following indicator that utilizes the concept of Average True Range (ATR) to define its trailing stop levels.
In this indicator however (like I've mentioned before), the ATR bands have been replaced with the STD envelopes, as they offer a better performance compared to ATR bands.
Trend Direction
The Supertrend indicator generates buy and sell signals based on price crossing the calculated upper and lower envelopes:
>>> Buy Signal: Triggered when the price closes above the upper envelope, indicating a potential upward trend.
>>> Sell Signal: Triggered when the price closes below the lower envelope, suggesting a downward trend.
Adaptive Nature:
The dynamic envelopes effectively serve as dynamic support and resistance levels, which adapt to price movements and volatility, while the Supertrend tracks these levels to confirm the trend direction and adjust accordingly to changes, making it an enhanced version of ATR Based Supertrends.
Unique Aspects and Advantages
->>>> The Dynamic Envelope Based Supertrend is unique for several reasons:
>>> Volatility Responsiveness: The indicator adjusts its sensitivity based on market conditions, reducing the likelihood of false signals during quiet market phases and improving reliability during volatile periods. This is reasoned by the STD envelope bands contracting and expanding relative to the tickers performance.
>>> Trend Confirmation: By integrating the Supertrend logic, the indicator not only provides entry signals but also guides traders on when to exit, maintaining a focus on trend-following rather than mean reversion.
>>> Stability: Due to its use of Standard deviation envelopes, it is very ressistant in periods of uncertainty, Rather than buy bottom and selling tops, it stays long/short for the complete period of mean reverting environments, which is based on the bigger and fuller trend direction on the larger timescales.
>>> Clear Signals: The indicator simplifies decision-making by offering visual cues through its envelopes and trend signals, making it accessible to traders of all experience levels.
Summary:
The Dynamic Envelope Based Supertrend is a sophisticated trend-following indicator that intelligently combines dynamically adjusted STD envelopes with Supertrend logic. By incorporating volatility metrics, it offers a clear and actionable framework for traders, enhancing their ability to identify and follow trends effectively.
DSL Trend Analysis [ChartPrime]The DSL Trend Analysis indicator utilizes Discontinued Signal Lines (DSL) deployed directly on price, combined with dynamic bands, to analyze the trend strength and momentum of price movements. By tracking the high and low price values and comparing them to the DSL bands, it provides a visual representation of trend momentum, highlighting both strong and weakening phases of market direction.
⯁ KEY FEATURES AND HOW TO USE
⯌ DSL-Based Trend Detection :
This indicator uses Discontinued Signal Lines (DSL) to evaluate price action. When the high stays above the upper DSL band, the line turns lime, indicating strong upward momentum. Similarly, when the low stays below the lower DSL band, the line turns orange, indicating strong downward momentum. Traders can use these visual signals to identify strong trends in either direction.
⯌ Bands for Trend Momentum :
The indicator plots dynamic bands around the DSL lines based on ATR (Average True Range). These bands provide a range within which price can fluctuate, helping to distinguish between strong and weakening trends. If the high remains within the upper band, the lime-colored line becomes transparent, showing weakening upward momentum. The same concept applies for the lower band, where the line turns orange with transparency, indicating weakening downward momentum.
If high and low stays between bands line has no color
to make sure indicator catches only strong momentum of price
⯌ Real-Time Band Price Labels :
The indicator places two labels on the chart, one at the upper DSL band and one at the lower DSL band, displaying the real-time price values of these bands. These labels help traders track the current price relative to the key bands, which are essential in determining potential breakout or reversal zones.
⯌ Visual Confirmation of Momentum Shifts :
By monitoring the relationship between the high and low values of the price relative to the DSL bands, this indicator provides a reliable way to confirm whether the trend is gaining or losing strength. This allows traders to act accordingly, whether it's to enter or exit positions based on trend strength or weakness.
⯁ USER INPUTS
Length : Defines the period used to calculate the DSL lines, influencing the sensitivity of the trend detection.
Offset : Adjusts the offset applied to the upper and lower DSL bands, affecting how the thresholds for strong or weak momentum are set.
Width (ATR Multiplier) : Determines the width of the DSL bands based on an ATR multiplier, providing a dynamic range around the price for momentum analysis.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The DSL Trend Analysis indicator is a powerful tool for assessing price momentum and trend strength. By combining Discontinued Signal Lines with dynamically calculated bands, traders can easily spot key moments when momentum shifts from strong to weak or vice versa. The color-coded lines and real-time price labels provide valuable insights for trading decisions in both trending and ranging markets.
Options Series - Dynamic Support & Resistance
🌟 Key Features & How It Works:
⭐ Dynamic Support and Resistance Management:
The script dynamically calculates and draws support and resistance lines based on pivot highs and pivot lows. Unlike static levels that remain unchanged, these lines are updated in real-time. When a support or resistance level is breached, the corresponding line is automatically deleted, keeping the chart clean and relevant. This feature ensures that the trader is always looking at valid support and resistance levels based on the current price action.
⭐ Use of Arrays for Line Management:
The script utilizes arrays to store and manage support and resistance lines (array.new_line(0)). This is a more advanced feature of Pine Script v5, allowing for efficient handling of multiple lines on the chart. By using arrays, the script can easily track and manipulate multiple lines (adding, removing, updating), ensuring that the chart remains optimized for real-time analysis.
⭐ Customizable Inputs for Flexibility:
The script includes user inputs for the pivot length and the line width, making it adaptable to different trading styles and preferences. The pivot length determines how sensitive the indicator is to price changes, while the line width allows traders to customize the visual representation of support and resistance levels. These inputs add flexibility and make the script accessible to a broad range of traders.
⭐ Efficient Breach Detection Mechanism:
The isBreached function is a key part of the script. It checks whether the current price has breached any of the existing support or resistance levels. If a breach is detected (i.e., the price crosses below a support or above a resistance), the respective line is deleted, ensuring that only active and valid lines remain on the chart. This automatic update feature reduces the need for manual intervention, helping traders stay focused on key price levels.
⭐ Visual Clarity and Chart Cleanliness:
By deleting breached lines, the script ensures that the chart does not become cluttered with outdated or irrelevant lines. This visual clarity is crucial for traders who rely on clean, simple charts for decision-making. Removing unnecessary information helps traders make faster, more confident decisions based on the current market structure.
⭐ Scalability for Multiple Timeframes:
The use of pivot points makes the script adaptable to different timeframes, from intraday scalping to longer-term swing trading. By changing the pivot length, traders can optimize the indicator for different market environments, ensuring that it can be applied across various asset classes and timeframes.
⭐ Practical for Range-bound and Breakout Trading:
This script is particularly effective for traders who focus on range-bound markets or breakout strategies. It allows them to quickly identify areas where price is likely to reverse (support/resistance) or break out (when support/resistance is breached), providing real-time insight into market dynamics.
⭐ Simplification of Price Action Analysis:
By automating the calculation of pivots and management of support/resistance levels, the script simplifies price action analysis. Traders no longer need to manually draw or monitor these levels, which is a common task in technical analysis. This provides an edge, as it reduces the time spent on chart preparation and helps focus on executing trades.
⭐ Originality:
The script "Options Series - Pivot Based Support & Resistance" is an original approach to generating support and resistance levels using pivot points. Pivot-based techniques are popular, but the script introduces an automated dynamic way of drawing support and resistance lines, tracking breaches, and deleting lines when they are no longer valid. This aspect adds a refreshing layer of interactivity and functionality that sets it apart from basic pivot point scripts. The use of arrays to store and manage multiple support and resistance lines is also a good application of Pine Script’s newer array functionalities.
⭐ Uniqueness of the Script:
The script stands out due to its dynamic management of support and resistance lines. Unlike traditional scripts that simply plot static pivot points, this one evolves with the market by removing broken levels, ensuring only valid support and resistance lines are visible on the chart. This is particularly useful for traders who focus on clean charting. The use of arrays to store and manage the lines, alongside the efficient deletion of lines when breached, demonstrates a solid understanding of Pine Script v5's advanced features, such as array manipulation.
🚀 Conclusion:
This script stands out for its real-time adaptability, dynamic support/resistance management, and efficient use of Pine Script’s advanced features. It a powerful tool for both novice and advanced traders.
The script is an indicator designed to draw support and resistance levels based on pivot highs and lows, dynamically removing lines when they are breached. If a price crosses a support or resistance level, the respective line is deleted, ensuring the chart reflects the current state of support and resistance accurately.
Stochastics Confluences 4 in 1Description of the Pine Script:
This script plots the Full Stochastic indicator for four different time periods, and highlights conditions where potential buy or sell signals can be identified. The Stochastic indicator measures the position of the current closing price relative to the range of high and low prices over a defined period, helping traders identify overbought and oversold conditions.
Key Features:
Stochastic Calculation for 4 Different Periods:
The script calculates the Stochastic for four separate lookback periods: 9, 14, 40, and 60 bars.
Each Stochastic value is smoothed by a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to reduce noise and provide a clearer signal.
Visual Representation:
It plots each Stochastic value on the chart using different colors, allowing the user to see how the different periods of the indicator behave relative to each other.
Horizontal lines are drawn at 80 (Upper Bound) and 20 (Lower Bound), commonly used to identify overbought and oversold regions.
Highlighting Buy and Sell Conditions:
Green Highlight (Potential Buy Signal):
When all four Stochastic values (for the four different periods) are below 20, this suggests that the asset is in an oversold condition across multiple timeframes. The green background highlight appears when the Stochastic lines converge below 20, indicating a potential buy signal, as the price may be preparing to move upward from an oversold state.
Red Highlight (Potential Sell Signal):
When all four Stochastic values are above 80, the asset is in an overbought condition across multiple timeframes. The red background highlight appears when the Stochastic lines converge above 80, indicating a potential sell signal, as the price may soon reverse downward from an overbought state.
How to Interpret the Signals:
Buy Signals (Green Highlight):
When the chart is highlighted in green, it means the Stochastic indicators for all four periods are below 20, signaling that the asset is oversold and may be nearing a potential upward reversal. This condition suggests a possible buying opportunity, especially when other indicators confirm the potential for an upward trend.
Sell Signals (Red Highlight):
When the chart is highlighted in red, it indicates that the Stochastic indicators for all four periods are above 80, meaning the asset is overbought. This condition signals a possible downward reversal, suggesting a potential selling opportunity if the price begins to show signs of weakness.
By using this script, traders can visually identify periods of strong confluence across different timeframes when the Stochastic indicators are in extreme oversold or overbought conditions, which are traditionally seen as strong buy or sell signals.
This approach helps filter out weaker signals and focuses on moments when all timeframes align, increasing the probability of a successful trade.
