Bearish signal using Point of Control (POC) with PAC by guru

5 days agoThis indicator code helps traders identify potential sell opportunities using several important technical indicators:

Point of Control (POC) – This is the price level where the most volume was traded over the past several days.
Previous Day's Low – This shows the lowest price reached during the previous day.
PAC (Price Action Channel) EMA – These are two moving averages (one based on the low price and one based on the close price) that help determine if the price is trending within a certain range.
Volume SMA – This is a 3-day simple moving average (SMA) of volume, which helps filter out signals based on market activity.
What the Script Does:
Point of Control (POC):

The script looks at the last 50 days (configurable) and calculates which price level had the highest trading volume.
It then plots a red line on the chart at the POC level. This is important because it helps identify areas where there was strong market interest in the past.
Volume Moving Average:

The script calculates a 3-day SMA of volume, but it excludes the current day to avoid premature signals based on today’s trading.
The volume SMA is used to ensure there’s enough market activity (with a threshold set to 25 units) before triggering a sell signal.
Price Action Channel (PAC) EMA:

The PAC consists of two exponential moving averages (EMAs):
The PAC Low EMA: This is based on the low prices over the last 34 periods (configurable).
The PAC Close EMA: This is based on the closing prices over the last 34 periods.
These EMAs help determine if the price is trending above or below certain price levels.
Sell Signal Logic: The script checks three conditions before displaying a "Sell" signal:

Price Below POC and Previous Day’s Low:
The close price must be below both the Point of Control (POC) and the previous day's low.
Volume SMA Above 25:
The 3-day volume SMA must be greater than 25. This ensures the signal only triggers when there’s enough trading volume in the market.
Today’s Low is Above PAC EMAs:
Today's low price must be above both the PAC low EMA and the PAC close EMA. This prevents sell signals when prices are already significantly below the PAC, indicating possible exhaustion in the downtrend.
If all three conditions are met, the script will display a red "Sell" label on the chart, signaling a potential selling opportunity.

No Sell Signal if Price Reverses:

If the price crosses back above the POC or the previous day's low, the script will remove the sell signal and reset for a new opportunity.
Summary of Conditions:
For the script to display a "Sell" label:

The close price must be below the Point of Control (POC) and the previous day’s low.
The 3-day volume SMA (excluding today) must be greater than 25 units.
The low price of the current day must be above both the PAC low EMA and the PAC close EMA.
If these conditions are met, a red sell label appears on the chart as a potential signal for a short (sell) trade.
