Auto Harmonic Patterns [Trader-Alex])This indicator is a sophisticated technical analysis tool designed to automate the identification of Harmonic Patterns across financial markets. By utilizing a multi-layered scanning engine, it detects valid geometric structures in price action, helping traders identify high-probability reversal zones (PRZ) with precision. Whether you are a scalper or a swing trader, this tool streamlines the complex process of measuring Fibonacci ratios, allowing you to focus on execution rather than manual drawing. Key Features Multi-Scale Scanning Engine: The indicator runs 5 independent scanning groups simultaneously. This allows it to detect patterns across different market distinct market cycles (micro-structures to macro-trends) within a single timeframe. Comprehensive Pattern Support: Automatically recognizes a wide range of classic and modern harmonic patterns, including: Gartley Bat & Alt Bat Butterfly Crab & Deep Crab Shark Cypher Predictive PRZ Technology (Potential Patterns): Unlike standard indicators that only show completed patterns, this tool projects "Potential Patterns" in real-time. It calculates the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ) based on converging Fibonacci projections, giving you a clear visual of where the D-point (Entry) is likely to form before price arrives. Smart Filtering & Optimization: To maintain a clean chart, the indicator includes an intelligent filtering system. If multiple patterns are detected in the same area, it automatically evaluates the geometry and risk-to-reward ratio to display only the most optimal setup. Integrated Trade Management: For every valid pattern, the indicator automatically plots: Entry Level: The optimal completion point. Stop Loss (SL): Calculated based on invalidation structures. Take Profit (TP1 & TP2): Based on standard harmonic retracement targets. Visual Clarity: Distinguishes between Bullish (Green/Blue tones) and Bearish (Red/Orange tones) setups. Successful historical patterns and currently developing patterns are visually distinct for easy back-testing and live trading. Disclaimer This tool is for educational and informational purposes only. Trading financial markets involves risk. Past performance of harmonic patterns does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 此指標是一套高階的技術分析工具，專為自動化識別金融市場中的「諧波型態 (Harmonic Patterns)」而設計。透過多層次的掃描引擎，它能精準偵測價格行為中的幾何結構，協助交易者快速鎖定高勝率的潛在反轉區 (PRZ)。 無論您是短線交易者還是波段交易者，此工具都能簡化繁瑣的費波那契比例測量過程，讓您能專注於交易決策而非手動繪圖。 核心功能 多維度掃描引擎： 指標內建 5 組獨立的掃描運算邏輯，能夠同時運行。這意味著它能在單一圖表時間週期內，同時捕捉從小級別結構到大級別趨勢的各種型態。 支援多種經典型態： 自動識別市場上主流的諧波結構，包含： 加特利 (Gartley) 蝙蝠與變種蝙蝠 (Bat & Alt Bat) 蝴蝶 (Butterfly) 螃蟹與深海螃蟹 (Crab & Deep Crab) 鯊魚 (Shark) 賽福 (Cypher) 預測性 PRZ 技術 (潛在型態)： 不同於一般指標僅顯示「已完成」的歷史型態，本工具具備即時預測功能。它能根據費波那契數列的匯聚點，計算出潛在反轉區 (PRZ)，在價格到達前提前標示出預期的 D 點 (入場點)。 智能篩選與優化： 為了保持圖表整潔，指標內建智能過濾系統。當同一區域偵測到多個重疊型態時，系統會自動評估幾何結構與盈虧比，僅顯示條件最優異的一個交易機會。 整合式交易管理： 針對每一個有效型態，指標會自動計算並繪製： 入場價 (Entry)： 型態完成的最佳價位。 止損位 (SL)： 基於結構失效點的防守位置。 止盈位 (TP1 & TP2)： 基於諧波回撤比例的標準獲利目標。 視覺化清晰呈現： 清楚區分看漲 (綠/藍色系) 與看跌 (紅/橙色系) 架構。歷史勝率回測線圖與正在發展中的潛在型態均有不同的視覺樣式，方便用戶進行複盤與實盤操作。 免責聲明 本工具僅供教學與輔助分析使用。金融市場交易具有風險，諧波型態的歷史表現不代表未來獲利保證。請務必做好個人風險管理。

NY LONDON LUNCH AUTO**NY London Lunch Auto** is a precision session-anchor indicator designed for traders who focus on institutional timing and liquidity behavior. This script automatically marks the **high and low of three key 15-minute New York session candles**: • **3:00 AM NY** — London session expansion • **8:00 AM NY** — New York open / kill zone • **2:00 PM NY** — NY lunch / power hour transition Each time one of these candles prints on the **15-minute chart**, the script captures its exact high and low and extends them forward as horizontal levels. The levels remain **locked and unchanged** until the next key session candle appears, ensuring clean, non-repainting reference zones. ### Key Features • Works **exclusively on the 15-minute timeframe** • Automatically updates at **3AM, 8AM, and 2PM NY time** • Levels stay fixed — no drifting or recalculation • Clean, minimal design with customizable colors • Ideal for liquidity sweeps, displacement, and ICT-style execution models This indicator is built for traders who want **clarity, patience, and structure**, not clutter. It pairs seamlessly with liquidity sweep, displacement, and fair value gap strategies.

Displacement## Displacement Indicator (Institutional Momentum Filter) This indicator highlights **true price displacement** — candles where price moves with **abnormal force relative to recent volatility**. It is designed to help traders distinguish **real momentum** from normal market noise. Displacement often precedes: - Breaks of structure - Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) - Strong continuation or meaningful pullbacks This tool focuses on **confirmation**, not prediction. --- ### 🔍 How Displacement Is Defined A candle is marked as *displacement* only when **all conditions are met**: • Candle body is larger than a multiple of ATR (volatility-adjusted) • Candle body makes up a high percentage of the full candle (strong close) • Directional conviction (bullish or bearish close) This filters out: - Small or average candles - Wick-heavy indecision - Low-quality breakouts --- ### 🎯 What This Indicator Is Best Used For ✔ Confirming impulsive moves ✔ Validating structure breaks ✔ Anchoring Fair Value Gaps ✔ Filtering low-probability setups ✔ Identifying institutional participation Works best on **M5, M15, and H1**, especially during **London and NY sessions**. --- ### ⚠️ Important Notes • This is **not** a buy/sell signal by itself • Best used with trend, structure, or liquidity context • Not designed for ranging or low-volatility markets Think of this indicator as a **momentum truth filter** — if displacement is missing, conviction is likely missing too. --- ### ⚙️ Inputs Explained • ATR Length – defines normal volatility • ATR Multiplier – how aggressive displacement must be • Minimum Body % – ensures strong candle closes All inputs are adjustable to fit different markets and styles. --- ### 🧠 Philosophy Displacement reflects **commitment**, not anticipation. This tool helps you wait for **proof**, not hope. --- If you want, I can: - Tighten this for **ICT-style language** - Rewrite for **beginner clarity** - Add a **“How I personally use it”** section - Optimize it for **TradingView algorithm visibility** **Tell me which you want changed.**

SCOTTGO - RVOL Bull/Bear Painter (Real-Time) SCOTTGO - RVOL Bull/Bear Painter (Real-Time Momentum Detection) 📌Overview The RVOL Bull/Bear Painter is a Pine Script indicator designed to instantly highlight high-momentum candles driven by significant Relative Volume (RVOL). It provides a clear visual signal (bar color, shape, and label) when a candle's volume exceeds its average by a user-defined threshold, confirming strong bullish or bearish interest in real-time. This helps traders quickly identify potential institutional accumulation/distribution or breakout/breakdown attempts. ✨ Key Features Relative Volume (RVOL) Calculation: Automatically calculates the ratio of the current bar's volume to its moving average (SMA or EMA) over a customizable lookback period. Momentum Confirmation: Paints the candle green (bullish) or red (bearish) only when both price direction and high RVOL criteria are met. Real-Time Detection: Uses a plotshape method to display the signal triangle as soon as the RVOL and direction conditions are met on the currently forming candle, aiming for faster alerts than bar-close coloring. Customizable Threshold: Easily adjust the RVOL multiplier (e.g., 1.5x, 2.0x, 3.0x) to filter out noise and only focus on truly significant volume events. Labels and Alerts: Displays a volume multiplier label (e.g., BULL 2.55x) and includes pre-configured alert conditions for automated notifications. 🛠️ How to Use It 1. Identify High-Conviction Moves Look for the painted candles and the corresponding labels. A candle painted green with a BULL label (e.g., BULL 2.5x) indicates that buyers stepped in with 2.5 times the typical volume to drive the price higher. 2. Configure Your Sensitivity The power of the script lies in customizing the inputs: RVOL Lookback Period: Determines the length of the volume moving average. Shorter periods (e.g., 9-20) make the indicator more reactive to recent volume changes. Longer periods (e.g., 50-200) require a much larger volume spike to trigger a signal. RVOL Threshold: This is the multiplier. Lower values (e.g., 1.5) will generate more signals. Higher values (e.g., 3.0) will generate fewer, but generally higher-conviction, signals. 3. Set Up Alerts Use the pre-configured alert conditions (Bullish RVOL Signal and Bearish RVOL Signal) in TradingView's alert menu. Crucially, set the alert frequency to "Once per bar" or "Once per minute" to receive notifications as soon as the high RVOL event occurs, without waiting for the bar to close.

PFA_PahadiPFA Pahadi Indicator Market Structure through Swing Triangles What is the PFA Pahadi Indicator? The **PFA Pahadi Indicator** is a *price-structure visualization tool* that converts raw market movement into a series of **connected swing triangles**. By linking **Pivot Low → Pivot High → Pivot Low** and additionally connecting the **bases (Low → Low)**, the indicator visually resembles a *mountain (pahadi) range*—hence the name. It focuses purely on **market structure**, not prediction, helping traders and analysts understand how price is *actually climbing, resting, and declining* over time. Key Benefits • Clear Market Structure The indicator highlights **higher highs, higher lows, lower highs, and lower lows** in a clean, uncluttered way, making trend identification intuitive even on higher timeframes. • Noise Reduction By relying only on **confirmed pivots**, minor fluctuations are filtered out. This helps traders avoid reacting to short-term volatility and focus on meaningful swings. • Visual Trend Strength Assessment The *slope and shape* of the triangles reveal whether the trend is: * Expanding (strong trend) * Contracting (distribution / accumulation) * Flattening (range / base building) • Excellent for Positional & Swing Trading Works particularly well on **weekly and daily charts**, where price structure matters more than intraday noise. • No Repainting All lines are drawn only after pivot confirmation. Once plotted, the structure does **not change retroactively**, ensuring analytical integrity. • Complements Moving Averages & Volume When combined with long-term averages or volume trends, the PFA Pahadi Indicator helps identify: * Healthy pullbacks * Structural breakdowns * Failed rallies Practical Use-Cases • Trend Continuation Analysis Higher base lines (Low → Low) indicate sustained accumulation and trend continuation. • Structural Weakness Detection Flattening or declining bases despite new highs may indicate **distribution** or **trend exhaustion**. • Long-Term Support Mapping The connected bases often act as *dynamic structural support zones* rather than exact price levels. Limitations • Not a Timing Indicator The PFA Pahadi Indicator does **not provide entry or exit signals** on its own. It is a *context tool*, not a trigger. • Lag Due to Confirmation Because pivots require confirmation, the structure appears **after the move has occurred**. This is intentional for accuracy but unsuitable for scalping. • Sensitive to Pivot Length Settings Short pivot lengths may create too many triangles; longer lengths may miss smaller but tradable swings. • Works Best in Trending Markets In sideways or choppy conditions, the structure may appear flat and less informative. Disclaimer The PFA Pahadi Indicator is a market structure visualization tool and does not constitute investment advice, trading recommendations, or a guarantee of future performance. It is designed for educational and analytical purposes only. All market decisions should be taken in conjunction with other tools such as volume analysis, risk management rules, broader market context, and individual financial suitability. Past price structures do not ensure future outcomes. Users are advised to validate the indicator across multiple securities and timeframes before applying it in live trading. Philosophy Behind the Name Markets don’t move in straight lines. They climb, pause, retrace, and climb again—just like a pahadi path. This indicator simply helps you see that path clearly.

Killzones Green background: London session. Blue background: New York session. VWAP Purple line: Intraday volume-weighted average price. Trade Lights 🟢 Green: All bullish conditions met — LONG ready. 🔴 Red: All bearish conditions met — SHORT ready. ⚪ Gray: Wait — conditions not aligned. Entry Labels Shows Entry price, SL, TP. Separate labels for current TF and 5-min confirmation. How to Use Step 1: Identify Market Bias Check HTF EMA: price above → bullish trend, below → bearish trend. Check VWAP (if enabled): trade in direction of VWAP for institutional alignment. Check Killzones: prefer entries during London or New York sessions. Step 2: Confirm Entry Conditions Wait for BOS / CHoCH to align with your trend. Look for FVG zone and SSL/BSL liquidity. Ensure RSI, ATR, Volume, VWAP filters (if enabled) all confirm. Green/red Trade Light should be active. Step 3: Place Trade Use Entry Label price as reference. SL: 1.5 ATR away. TP: ATR x multiplier away. Optional: check 5-min multi-TF confirmation label for additional confidence. Step 4: Manage Trade Follow ATR-based SL/TP. Move stop to break-even after partial target if desired. Only take trades when Trade Light is GREEN (LONG) or RED (SHORT). Best Practices Combine with volume profile or order block analysis for higher precision. Avoid trading outside killzones. Use multi-TF confirmation for safer entries. Adjust ATR multiplier according to market volatility.

Monday Tuesday Initial Balance and Range ProjectionsThis indicator is based on Stacey Burke’s definition of Initial Balance, where Monday and Tuesday together establish the Initial Balance for the trading week. The high and low formed across Monday and Tuesday define the Initial Balance. Once Tuesday closes, this range is locked in and used as a structural reference for the remainder of the week. What the Indicator Displays Initial Balance High (Monday–Tuesday high) Initial Balance Low (Monday–Tuesday low) Optional midpoint Optional range projections: 0.5 range extension to the upside/downside 1.0 range extension to the upside/downside These extensions are calculated using the Monday–Tuesday range, projected above the Initial Balance High. Why This Matters In a large percentage of weeks: The weekly high or low is established by Monday or Tuesday One side of the Initial Balance tends to hold, while the other may break and trend The range provides context for high-probability setups, not trade signals Price will typically: Reject the Initial Balance extremes (reversal / three-day setup) Break and hold outside the balance (trend week) Rotate within the balance (consolidation) How to Use It This tool is designed for context and structure, supporting: Three Day Setups First Green / First Red Days False breaks Weekly pump-and-dump / dump-and-pump scenarios Trade execution should still be aligned with session timing, 15-minute structure, price action confirmation, and news awareness.

SHAP-Aligned BUY Signal (Daily, Edge-Triggered)Based on the XGBoost + SHAP interpretation report, I'll explain which indicators to monitor for buying NVO. However, I must emphasize that this model performed poorly (47.5% accuracy) and should NOT be used for actual trading! That said, here's what the model learned (for educational purposes): 📊 Top Indicators to Monitor for BUY Signals 1. Days_Since_Low (Most Important - 1.264) Direction: BULLISH ↑ Interpretation: Higher values → UP prediction What to monitor: Track how many days since the stock hit its recent low Buy signal: When the stock has been recovering for an extended period (e.g., 100+ days from low) Why it matters: The model learned that stocks in long-term recovery tend to continue rising 2. SMA_50 (50-day Moving Average) (0.413) Direction: BULLISH ↑ Interpretation: Higher absolute SMA_50 values → UP prediction What to monitor: The 50-day simple moving average price level Buy signal: When SMA_50 is at higher levels (e.g., above $80-90) Why it matters: Higher moving averages indicate stronger long-term trends 3. SMA_200 (200-day Moving Average) (0.274) Direction: BULLISH ↑ Interpretation: Higher SMA_200 → UP prediction What to monitor: The 200-day simple moving average Buy signal: When SMA_200 is trending upward and at elevated levels Why it matters: Long-term trend indicator; golden cross (SMA_50 > SMA_200) is traditionally bullish 4. BB_Width (Bollinger Band Width) (0.199) Direction: BULLISH ↑ Interpretation: WIDER Bollinger Bands → UP prediction What to monitor: The distance between upper and lower Bollinger Bands Buy signal: When BB_Width is expanding (increasing volatility often precedes trend moves) Why it matters: Widening bands can signal the start of a new trend 5. Price_SMA_50_Ratio (0.158) Direction: BULLISH ↑ Interpretation: When price is ABOVE the 50-day MA → UP prediction What to monitor: Current price ÷ SMA_50 Buy signal: When ratio > 1.0 (price is above the 50-day average) Why it matters: Price above moving averages indicates uptrend 6. Momentum_21D (21-day Momentum) (0.152) Direction: BULLISH ↑ Interpretation: Positive 21-day momentum → UP prediction What to monitor: 21-day rate of change Buy signal: When momentum is positive and increasing Why it matters: Positive momentum suggests continuation 7. Stoch_K (Stochastic Oscillator) (0.142) Direction: BULLISH ↑ Interpretation: Higher Stochastic K → UP prediction What to monitor: Stochastic oscillator (0-100 scale) Buy signal: When Stoch_K is rising from oversold (<20) or in mid-range (40-60) Why it matters: Measures momentum and overbought/oversold conditions

EMA 8 / 20 / 200Created to easily use the 8/20/200 strategy. This indicator is designed to give a clear, multi-timeframe view of trend, momentum, and structure using three exponential moving averages. 1. Trend direction (EMA 200 – pink) The 200 EMA acts as the long-term trend filter. Price above the 200 EMA suggests a bullish market bias. Price below the 200 EMA suggests a bearish market bias. Many traders avoid taking trades against this higher-timeframe direction. 2. Momentum and trade bias (EMA 20 – blue) The 20 EMA reflects short-term momentum. When price respects the 20 EMA in an uptrend, pullbacks often provide continuation entries. In downtrends, the 20 EMA frequently acts as dynamic resistance. 3. Entry timing (EMA 8 – yellow) The 8 EMA is a fast reaction line used for precise timing. Crosses of the 8 EMA over the 20 EMA can signal momentum shifts. Strong trends often show price holding above (or below) the 8 EMA during impulse moves. 4. Confluence and trade filtering The indicator works best when the EMAs are aligned: Bullish alignment: EMA 8 > EMA 20 > EMA 200 Bearish alignment: EMA 8 < EMA 20 < EMA 200 Misaligned EMAs usually indicate consolidation or low-probability conditions. 5. Risk management context EMAs can act as dynamic support and resistance: Stops are often placed beyond the 20 EMA or 200 EMA depending on trade horizon. Loss of EMA structure is a warning sign that the trend may be weakening. In short, the indicator is a trend-first, momentum-second framework that helps you decide when to trade, in which direction, and when to stay out.
