[u]Multi Time Frame Tools[/u]

Multi Time Frame Tools (MTFT) is a suite of scripts aimed to establish a standard timeframe-based color scheme. This can be utilized to overlay different timeframes calculations/values over a single timeframe. As one example, this would allow to observe the 5-month moving average, 5-week moving average, and 5-day moving average overlaid over each other. This would allow to study a chart, get accustomed to the color scheme and study all these at the same time much easier.

All indicators calculated using the below specific timeframes as input, will always use the color scheme outlined below. This is to get you in habit of recognizing the different timeframes overlaid in top of each other. These can be personalized.

Longer TF analysis.
Yearly - Black
Semi-Annual - Yellow
Quarterly - White
Monthly - Maroon
Weekly - Royal Blue
Daily - Lime

Shorter TF analysis.
4 hour - Fuchsia
1 hour - Orange
30 min - Red
15 min - Brown
10 min - Purple
5 min - Lilac

All color coordination is able to be modified in either the “Inputs” or “Style” section. If you need to make changes, make sure to select “Save as Default” on the bottom right of the settings menu.

Recommended Chart Color Layout
I played around with color coordination a lot. The final product was what worked best for me. I personally use the following chart settings to accent all available TF colors.
-> Click on the settings wheel on your chart. -> Click on “Appearance”.
Background - Solid -> On the top row pick the 6th color from the left.
Vert Grid Lines and Horz Grid Lines -> On the top row pick the 7th color from the left.
You may of course change these and the indicator line colors as you like.

Adding indicator to Chart
-> Open the TradingView “Indicators & Strategies” library, the icon has “ƒx”. -> All premium scripts will be located under “Invite-Only Scripts” -> Click indicator to add to your chart.

[u] MTFT VWAPs Auto Anchored [/u]
The Anchored Volume-Weighted Average Price, Anchored VWAP, is a commonly discussed FinTwit tool. I personally found it through Brian Shannon on Twitter. I have seen big FinTwit accounts solely focus on this strategy alone and have seen other big FinTwit accounts mix with their other indicators. I will be providing very basic info to utilize this script; it is up to you to dive deep into learning this strategy. I am not an expert with the tool or a financial advisor. As with all aspects of life, I recommend you research, learn, discern and practice extensively in order to become a master.
The script has the following features.
1. Three user selected time frames auto anchored VWAPS. It will auto anchor to the start of the timeframe. Timeframes(TF) include: Yearly(Y), Semi-annually(S), Quarterly(Q), Monthly(M), Weekly(W), Daily(D), and 4 hour. Image below shows the D candlestick as the active timeframe, the anchored VWAPs for the Year, Quarter, and Month.

2. Auto hide lower timeframe calculations. Auto Hide feature will hide smaller TF calculations when a larger timeframe is selected as the display TF. Example, when the Daily timeframe candlestick selected the Weekly and Daily Anchored VWAPs are hidden because they produce very noisy results. If a lower TF is selected such as the 30 min candlestick, the previously hidden Daily and Weekly Open Anchored VWAPs are now displayed. Notice that this specific indicator calculates different with every different timeframe that is selected. The lower TF calculations are more accurate as they include additional information. Image below shows the 30 min timeframe selected with the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Open Anchored VWAPs displayed.

3. Auto Anchor using Pivot High/Low locations. Script finds the pivot highs/lows with a user selected look back/forward period. Additionally, as new pivot highs/lows appear you can choose to keep up to 4 each previous pivot high/low anchored VWAPs displayed. Image below has a 40 look back/forward period selected, and 2 past AVWAPs enabled.

You may notice in the above image that there is a gap between the AVWAP plot and the marked pivot point. This is not something that can be avoided as the script has to look forward in order to verify the pivot. The calculation is still correct, this can be verified by manually adding an “Anchored VWAP” drawing and seeing the values align. Image below shows that they match. White lines are the manually added “Anchored VWAP” drawings. If you verify this for yourself, make sure to select the correct input source in the settings of the drawing.

4. Auto Anchored on IPO High/Low. Looks for the first available candlestick in a chart and anchors to the high and low. This is useful with newer companies with recent IPOs.

[u]IMPORTANT NOTE to TradingView admin:[/u] One of the lessons I would consider most important in attaining clarity regarding trading, is “TheStrat” by Rob Smith. His lesson on “actionable signals” is something that can be applied to any strategy. For this reason, I am including “MTFT TheStrat Patterns Pro” script in all images that will depict confluence for a better trade selection.
Example using TheStrat Pro MTFT with this indicator.
Look for a “TheStrat actionable signal” or a “TheStrat Reversal signal” on a smaller timeframe that has an instance of this indicator on a larger timeframe calculation that is in range of the candlestick that formed your actionable signal. This means that the indicators plot you are observing must be above the low and below the high of the candlestick that is the actionable signal/reversal signal.
The Image below shows what this would look like with this indicator. The selected candlestick is the 2-day, it shows a 1-3-1 pattern and the Quarter Anchored VWAP in range. This actionable signal could be played in both directions. If the high is breached, you would enter a long position from the high of the inside candlestick. If the low is breached than you would enter a short. For targets you would look at the previous pivots, for this example all targets were hit. Note that the “Entry” and “Targets” line were added manually and are not part of the script. Setups won’t always play out so nice and clean, but given that there is so many stocks and so many signals this is just a thought to improve the quality of the signal as it has extra confluence. If you are interested in learning further, research ‘TheStrat’ by Rob Smith.
