Wolfe Wave Detector [LuxAlgo]The Wolfe Wave Detector displays occurrences of Wolfe Waves, alongside a target line. A multiple swing detection approach is used to maximize the number of detected waves.
The indicator includes a dashboard with the number of detected waves, as well as the number of reached targets.
🔶 USAGE
The Wolfe Wave pattern is a chart pattern composed of five segments, with the initial segment extremities (points XABCD) forming a channel containing price variations.
After the price reaches point D , we can expect a reversal toward a target line (point E ). The target line is obtained by connecting and extending point X -> C .
The script draws the XABCD pattern and a projection of where E might potentially be located.
The projection is derived from the intersection between the target line and a line starting from D , parallel to B-C . From this line, margins are added, left and right, creating a wedge-shaped figure in most cases.
When the price passes the target line, this is highlighted by a dot. The dot and pattern are green by default when the target is above D and red when the target is below D . Colors can be edited in the settings. The dashed target line is colored in the opposite color.
As seen in the above example, the price trend can reverse after reaching the target line.
🔹 Symmetry
Ideally, the Wolfe Wave must have a degree of symmetry; every upward line should have a similar angle to the other upward lines, and the same should be true for the downward lines.
Also, the lines forming the channel should be as parallel as possible.
Users have the option to adjust the tolerance:
Margin controls the wave symmetry of the pattern
Angle controls the channel symmetry of the pattern
It's important to note that in both cases, a lower number will lead to more symmetrical patterns, but they may appear less frequently.
It is also important to note that increasing the Margin can delay validating the pattern. In the meantime, the price could surpass the channel in the opposite direction, invalidating and deleting the otherwise valid pattern.
🔹 Multiple Swings
Users can set a Minimum Swing length (for example 2) and a Maximum Swing length (for example 100) which defines the range of the swing point detection length, higher values for these settings will detect longer-term Wolfe patterns, while a larger range will allow for the detection of a larger number of patterns.
By using multiple swings, it is possible to find smaller next to larger patterns at the same time.
The dashboard shows the number of patterns found and targets reached. When, for example, bullish patterns are disabled in the settings, the dashboard only shows the results of bearish patterns.
🔹 Extend Target Line
The publication includes a setting that allows the Target Line to be extended up to 50 bars further. As seen in the above example, the Target Line can still be reached even after the pattern has been finalized. Once the Target Line is reached, it won't be updated further.
Here is another example of a Target Line being reached later on.
The Target Line acted as a support level, after which where the price changed direction.
🔹 Show Progression
An option is included to show the progression before the pattern is completed. Users can make use of the XABC pattern or visualize where point D should be positioned.
The focus lies on the bar range (between the left and right borders of the grey rectangle). The pattern is considered invalid and deleted when point D is beyond these limits. The height of the rectangle is optional. Ideally, the price should be located between the top and bottom of the rectangle, but it is not mandatory.
Show Progression has three options including:
Full: Show all lines of XABC plus line C-D and rectangle for the position of point D
Partial: Show line C-D and rectangle for the position of point D
None: Only show valid completed patterns
The 'Partial' option in the 'Show Progression' feature is designed to help users locate the desired position of point D without the visual clutter caused by the XABC lines. This can be useful for those who prefer a cleaner visual representation of the evolving pattern.
🔶 SETTINGS

BTC x M2 Divergence (Weekly)### Why the "M2 Money Supply vs BTC Divergence with Normalized RSI" Indicator Should Work
IMPORTANT
- Weekly only indicator
- Combine it with BTC Halving Cycle Profit for better results
The "M2 Money Supply vs BTC Divergence with Normalized RSI" indicator leverages the relationship between macroeconomic factors (M2 money supply) and Bitcoin price movements, combined with technical analysis tools like RSI, to provide actionable trading signals. Here's a detailed rationale on why this indicator should be effective:
1. **Macroeconomic Influence**:
- **M2 Money Supply**: Represents the total money supply, including cash, checking deposits, and easily convertible near money. Changes in M2 reflect liquidity in the economy, which can influence asset prices, including Bitcoin.
- **Bitcoin Sensitivity to Liquidity**: Bitcoin, being a digital asset, often reacts to changes in liquidity conditions. An increase in money supply can lead to higher asset prices as more money chases fewer assets, while a decrease can signal tightening conditions and lower prices.
2. **Divergence Analysis**:
- **Economic Divergence**: The indicator calculates the divergence between the percentage changes in M2 and Bitcoin prices. This divergence can highlight discrepancies between Bitcoin's price movements and broader economic conditions.
- **Market Inefficiencies**: Large divergences may indicate inefficiencies or imbalances that could lead to price corrections or trends. For example, if M2 is increasing (indicating more liquidity) but Bitcoin is not rising proportionately, it might suggest a potential upward correction in Bitcoin's price.
3. **Normalization and Smoothing**:
- **Normalized Divergence**: Normalizing the divergence to a consistent scale (-100 to 100) allows for easier comparison and interpretation over time, making the signals more robust.
- **Smoothing with EMA**: Applying Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to the normalized divergence helps to reduce noise and identify the underlying trend more clearly. This double-smoothed divergence provides a clearer signal by filtering out short-term volatility.
4. **RSI Integration**:
- **RSI as a Momentum Indicator**: RSI measures the speed and change of price movements, indicating overbought or oversold conditions. Normalizing the RSI and incorporating it into the divergence analysis helps to confirm the strength of the signals.
- **Combining Divergence with RSI**: By using RSI in conjunction with divergence, the indicator gains an additional layer of confirmation. For instance, a bullish divergence combined with an oversold RSI can be a strong buy signal.
5. **Dynamic Zones and Sensitivity**:
- **Good DCA Zones**: Highlighting zones where the divergence is significantly positive (good DCA zones) indicates periods where Bitcoin might be undervalued relative to economic conditions, suggesting good buying opportunities.
- **Red Zones**: Marking zones with extremely negative divergence, combined with RSI confirmation, identifies potential market tops or bearish conditions. This helps traders avoid buying into overbought markets or consider selling.
- **Peak Detection**: The sensitivity setting for detecting upside down peaks allows for early identification of potential market bottoms, providing timely entry points for traders.
6. **Visual Cues and Alerts**:
- **Clear Visualization**: The plots and background colors provide immediate visual feedback, making it easier for traders to spot significant conditions without deep analysis.
- **Alerts**: Built-in alerts for key conditions (good DCA zones, red zones, sell signals) ensure traders can act promptly based on the indicator's signals, enhancing the practicality of the tool.
### Conclusion
The "M2 Money Supply vs BTC Divergence with Normalized RSI" indicator integrates macroeconomic data with technical analysis to offer a comprehensive view of Bitcoin's market conditions. By analyzing the divergence between M2 money supply and Bitcoin prices, normalizing and smoothing the data, and incorporating RSI for momentum confirmation, the indicator provides robust signals for identifying potential buying and selling opportunities. This holistic approach increases the likelihood of capturing significant market movements and making informed trading decisions.
Sniper Entry using RSI confirmationThis is a sniper entry indicator that provides Buy and Sell signals using other Indicators to give the best possible Entries (note: Entries will not be 100 percent accurate and analysis should be done to support an entry)
Moving Average Crossovers:
The indicator uses two moving averages: a short-term SMA (Simple Moving Average) and a long-term SMA.
When the short-term SMA crosses above the long-term SMA, it generates a buy signal (indicating potential upward momentum).
When the short-term SMA crosses below the long-term SMA, it generates a sell signal (indicating potential downward momentum).
RSI Confirmation:
The indicator incorporates RSI (Relative Strength Index) to confirm the buy and sell signals generated by the moving average crossovers.
RSI is used to gauge the overbought and oversold conditions of the market.
A buy signal is confirmed if RSI is below a specified overbought level, indicating potential buying opportunity.
A sell signal is confirmed if RSI is above a specified oversold level, indicating potential selling opportunity.
Dynamic Take Profit and Stop Loss:
The indicator calculates dynamic take profit and stop loss levels based on the Average True Range (ATR).
ATR is used to gauge market volatility, and the take profit and stop loss levels are adjusted accordingly.
This feature helps traders to manage their risk effectively by setting appropriate profit targets and stop loss levels.
Combining the information provided by these, the indicator will provide an entry point with a provided take profit and stop loss. The indicator can be applied to different asset classes. Risk management must be applied when using this indicator as it is not 100% guaranteed to be profitable.
Goodluck!
Percentile Nearest Rank Without Arrays [CHE] Presentation of the "Percentile Nearest Rank Without Arrays " Indicator
The "Percentile Nearest Rank Without Arrays " is a robust trading indicator designed to calculate the percentile value of a specific price within a defined time frame. This indicator provides traders with a visual representation that helps identify market trends and potential turning points.
Key Features and Functions:
- Percentile Calculation: The indicator calculates the percentile of the closing price within a specified period (default length is 15 periods). This allows traders to view the current price in the context of its historical distribution.
- Customizable Parameters: Traders can adjust the length of the observed period and the desired percentile value, making the analysis more tailored to their trading strategies.
- Color-Coded Visualization: The indicator uses color coding to signal whether the current closing price is above (green) or below (red) the calculated percentile value, providing visual clarity and quick decision-making.
- Efficiency Without Arrays: By avoiding the use of arrays, the indicator is more efficient in terms of computation and memory usage. This results in faster performance, especially when dealing with large datasets or real-time data.
Importance for Traders:
1. Trend Identification: By analyzing whether the current price is above or below a specific percentile value, traders can identify trends early and act accordingly.
2. Risk Management: The indicator helps traders better understand volatility and price distribution, leading to more effective risk management.
3. Trading Strategies: It can be used as part of trading strategies to identify entry and exit points based on statistical distributions.
4. Simplicity and Efficiency: As the indicator operates without the use of arrays, it is more efficient and simpler to implement, reducing computation time and improving the performance of the trading platform.
Scientific Explanation of Percentile Nearest Rank:
The Percentile Nearest Rank method is a statistical technique used to determine the relative standing of a value within a data set. For a given dataset of length \( n \) and a desired percentile \( p \), the method follows these steps:
1. Index Calculation: The index corresponding to the desired percentile is calculated using the formula:
index = ( p / 100 n ) -1
where "ceiling" denotes rounding up to the nearest integer.
2. Value Sorting: The values in the dataset are conceptually sorted from smallest to largest.
3. Count Comparison: For each value in the dataset, count how many values are smaller. When the count matches the calculated index, the value at this position is the percentile value.
4. Result Assignment: The value identified as the percentile value is then used for further analysis or plotting.
This method is advantageous for trading because it provides a non-parametric way to understand price distributions, making it less sensitive to outliers and more robust in volatile markets.
Scientific Context and Utility:
- Statistical Robustness: Unlike mean and median, the percentile provides a robust measure of the data distribution, less influenced by extreme values. This robustness is crucial for traders dealing with volatile markets.
- Non-Parametric Analysis: Percentiles do not assume any underlying distribution (e.g., normal distribution) of the data, making the analysis more flexible and broadly applicable.
- Quantitative Decision Making: By using percentiles, traders can make data-driven decisions based on the relative standing of current prices within historical data, enhancing the objectivity of their strategies.
- Efficiency Without Arrays: Avoiding the use of arrays reduces memory consumption and computational overhead, making the indicator more suitable for real-time applications and large datasets. This improves overall performance and responsiveness on trading platforms, which is crucial for making timely trading decisions.
In summary, the "Percentile Nearest Rank Without Arrays " indicator is a powerful tool for traders seeking to integrate statistical price distribution insights into their trading strategies. It provides a robust, non-parametric, and visually intuitive method to analyze market trends and volatility, while offering enhanced computational efficiency by avoiding the use of arrays.
HPotter Last PriceIf you, like me, like to watch the market in real time for a long time, then this script will be useful to you. Stay tuned.
A script that helps you navigate the current price and the latest highs and lows
IMPORTANT: For the script to work correctly, you must enable "On every tick" in Preoperties.
Throw it on any chart.
On the right appears:
white price - last transaction price
green price - current high that has not been reached (looks at bars in history)
red price - current low that has not been reached (looks at bars in history)
yellow price - new high or low installed
QuasimodoThis indicator helps traders spot certain patterns on a price chart that might indicate a change in price direction. These patterns are known as "engulfing patterns."
How It Works1.
Bullish Engulfing Patterns:- The current bar (or candle) closes higher than it opens (it's a green or white candle).- The previous bar closed lower than it opened (it was a red or black candle).- The current bar's high is higher than the previous bar's high, and its low is lower than the previous bar's low.- There's another variation where both the current and previous bars are green, but the current bar is still higher and lower than the previous one.

Bearish Engulfing Patterns:- The current bar closes lower than it opens (it's a red or black candle).- The previous bar closed higher than it opened (it was a green or white candle).- The current bar's low is lower than the previous bar's low, and its high is higher than the previous bar's high.- There's another variation where both the current and previous bars are red, but the current bar is still higher and lower than the previous one.
What It Shows-
When the indicator spots one of these patterns, it colors the previous candle:-
Yellow for a bullish pattern (price might go up).-
Pink for a bearish pattern (price might go down).
Alerts- The indicator can also send an alert to let you know when it finds one of these patterns, so you don't miss it.

ET's FlagsPurpose:
This Pine Script is designed for the TradingView platform to identify and visually highlight specific technical chart patterns known as "Bull Flags" and "Bear Flags" on financial charts. These patterns are significant in trading as they can indicate potential continuation trends after a brief consolidation. The script includes mechanisms to manage signal frequency through a cooldown period, ensuring that the trading signals are not excessively frequent and are easier to interpret.
Functionality:
Input Parameters:
flagpole_length: Defines the number of bars to consider when identifying the initial surge in price, known as the flagpole.
flag_length: Determines the number of bars over which the flag itself is identified, representing a period of consolidation.
percent_change: Sets the minimum percentage change required to validate the presence of a flagpole.
cooldown_period: Specifies the number of bars to wait before another flag can be identified, reducing the risk of overlapping signals.
Percentage Change Calculation:
The script calculates the percentage change between two price points using a helper function percentChange(start, end). This function is crucial for determining whether the price movement within the specified flagpole_length meets the threshold set by percent_change, thus qualifying as a potential flagpole.
Flagpole Identification:
Bull Flagpole: Identified by finding the lowest close price over the flagpole_length and determining if the subsequent price rise meets or exceeds the specified percent_change.
Bear Flagpole: Identified by finding the highest close price over the flagpole_length and checking if the subsequent price drop is sufficient as per the percent_change.
Flag Identification:
After identifying a flagpole, the script assesses if the price action within the next flag_length bars consolidates in a manner that fits a flag pattern. This involves checking if the price fluctuation stays within the bounds set by the percent_change.
Signal Plotting:
If a bull or bear flag pattern is confirmed, and the cooldown period has passed since the last flag of the same type was identified, the script plots a visual shape on the chart:
Green shapes below the price bar for Bull Flags.
Red shapes above the price bar for Bear Flags.
Line Drawing:
For enhanced visualization, the script draws lines at the high and low prices of the flag during its formation period. This visually represents the consolidation phase of the flag pattern.
Debugging Labels:
The script optionally displays labels at the flag formation points, showing the exact percentage change achieved during the flagpole formation. This feature aids users in understanding why a particular segment of the price chart was identified as a flag.
Compliance and Usage:
This script does not automate trading but provides visual aids and potential signals based on historical price analysis. It adheres to TradingView's scripting policies by only accessing publicly available price data and user-defined parameters without executing trades or accessing any external data.
Conclusion:
This Pine Script is a powerful tool for traders who follow technical analysis, offering a clear, automated way to spot potential continuation patterns in the markets they monitor. By emphasizing visual clarity and reducing signal redundancy through cooldown periods, the script enhances decision-making processes for chart analysis on TradingView.
Inside Bar Setup [as]Inside Bar Setup Indicator Description
The **Inside Bar Setup ** indicator is a powerful tool for traders to identify and visualize inside bar patterns on their charts. An inside bar pattern occurs when the current candle's high is lower than the previous candle's high, and the current candle's low is higher than the previous candle's low. This pattern can indicate a potential breakout or a continuation of the existing trend.
Key Features:
1. **Highlight Inside Bar Patterns:**

JDT Support & Resistance LevelsJDT Support & Resistance Levels
This Pine Script indicator identifies and dynamically plots pivot-based support and resistance levels on your chart. Unlike traditional pivot point calculations, this script uses a user-defined lookback period to identify swing highs and lows, providing a more adaptable approach to identifying potential price reversal zones.
Originality
This script stands out due to its flexible approach to pivot identification. Instead of relying on fixed periods like daily, weekly, or monthly pivots, it allows users to customize the lookback period. This is particularly useful for traders who analyze different timeframes or markets, as the optimal lookback period may vary.
How it works
* Pivot Calculation: The script utilizes the ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions to identify swing highs and lows within the specified lookback period.
* Line Plotting: Horizontal lines are plotted at these pivot levels, extending to the right edge of the chart.
* Dynamic Updates: As new swing highs and lows form, the lines automatically update, ensuring the levels remain relevant to the current price action.
How to use it
* Add the script to your chart.
* Adjust the "Lookback Period" input parameter. A higher value will result in fewer but more significant levels, while a lower value will produce more frequent but potentially less reliable levels.
* Use the levels to identify potential support and resistance zones. Observe how price interacts with these levels. A break above a resistance level could signal a bullish move, while a break below a support level could indicate a bearish move.
Additional Considerations
* This script is most effective when used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators.
* The accuracy of the levels depends on the chosen lookback period and the specific market conditions.
* Always backtest your strategies before implementing them in live trading.

Engulfing with Fibonacci LevelsIndicator Explanation
The indicator identifies bullish and bearish engulfing patterns and plots Fibonacci levels based on these patterns. Here's a detailed explanation of the script:
1. Bullish Engulfing Pattern
A bullish engulfing pattern is identified when:
- The previous candle is bearish (`close < open `).
- The current candle is bullish (`close > open`).
- The low of the current candle is lower than the low of the previous candle (`low < low `).
- The current candle's close is higher than the previous candle's open (`close > open `).
When a bullish engulfing pattern is identified:
- Fibonacci levels are plotted from the low (0%) to the high (100%) of the bullish candle.
- A green dot is plotted below the bullish candle to indicate a buy signal.
2. Bearish Engulfing Pattern
A bearish engulfing pattern is identified when:
- The previous candle is bullish (`close > open `).
- The current candle is bearish (`close < open`).
- The high of the current candle is higher than the high of the previous candle (`high > high `).
- The current candle's close is lower than the previous candle's open (`close < open `).
When a bearish engulfing pattern is identified:
- Fibonacci levels are plotted from the high (0%) to the low (100%) of the bearish candle.
- A red dot is plotted above the bearish candle to indicate a sell signal.
3. Plotting Fibonacci Levels
For both bullish and bearish patterns, Fibonacci levels are plotted at:
- 0% (high for bullish, low for bearish)
- 50%
- 61.8%
- 79%
- 100% (low for bullish, high for bearish)
Smart Money Concept (SMC) Explanation
Bearish Signal
In the context of Smart Money Concepts (SMC), a bearish engulfing pattern can indicate:
- **Buy Side Liquidity Grab**: The high of the current bearish candle goes above the high of the previous bullish candle, potentially grabbing buy-side liquidity (stop losses of short positions or buy stops).
- **Break of Structure (BoS)**: The close of the bearish candle below the open of the previous bullish candle indicates a shift in market structure.
After identifying this bearish engulfing pattern, a smart money trader might:
1. Wait for the market to retrace 50% of the bearish candle.
2. Enter a sell trade around the 50% retracement level, anticipating a continuation of the downward move.
#### Bullish Signal
Similarly, a bullish engulfing pattern can indicate:
- **Sell Side Liquidity Grab**: The low of the current bullish candle goes below the low of the previous bearish candle, potentially grabbing sell-side liquidity (stop losses of long positions or sell stops).
- **Break of Structure (BoS)**: The close of the bullish candle above the open of the previous bearish candle indicates a shift in market structure.
After identifying this bullish engulfing pattern, a smart money trader might:
1. Wait for the market to retrace 50% of the bullish candle.
2. Enter a buy trade around the 50% retracement level, anticipating a continuation of the upward move.
The indicator helps traders identify key engulfing patterns that align with smart money concepts of liquidity grabs and breaks of structure. By plotting Fibonacci levels, it visually aids traders in waiting for optimal retracement levels (50%) to enter trades in the direction of the anticipated move. This approach leverages the idea that significant market participants often seek liquidity and cause structural shifts, providing entry opportunities for informed traders.
QTY@RISK VWAP based calculationVWAP Volatility-Based Risk Management Calculator for Intraday Trading
Overview
This script is an innovative tool designed to help traders manage risk effectively by calculating position sizes and stop-loss levels using the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and its standard deviation (StdDev). Unlike traditional methods that rely on time-based calculations, this approach is time-independent within the intraday timeframe, making it particularly useful for traders seeking precision and efficiency.
Key Concepts
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price): VWAP is a trading benchmark that represents the average price a security has traded at throughout the day, based on both volume and price. It provides insight into the average price level over a specific period, helping traders understand the market trend.
StdDev (Standard Deviation): In the context of VWAP, the standard deviation measures the volatility around the VWAP. It provides a quantifiable range that traders can use to set stop-loss levels, ensuring they are neither too tight nor too loose.
How the Script Works
1. VWAP Calculation: The script calculates the VWAP continuously as the market trades, integrating both price and volume data.
2. Volatility Measurement: It then computes the standard deviation of the VWAP, giving a measure of market volatility.
3. Stop-Loss Calculation: Using user-defined StdDev factors, the script calculates two stop-loss levels. These levels adjust dynamically based on market conditions, ensuring they remain relevant throughout the trading session.
4. Position Sizing: By incorporating your risk tolerance, the script determines the appropriate position size. This ensures that your maximum loss per trade does not exceed your predefined risk value.
How to Use the Calculator
1. Select Two VWAP StdDev Factors: Choose two standard deviation factors for calculating stop-loss levels. For example, you might choose 0.5 and 0.75 to set conservative and aggressive stop-losses respectively.
2. Set Your Trading Account Size: Enter your total trading capital. For example, $50,000.
3. Maximum Lot Size: Define the maximum number of shares you are willing to trade in a single position. For instance, 200 shares.
4. Risk Value per Trade: Input the maximum amount of money you are willing to risk on a single trade. For instance, $50.
5. Plotting Options: If you wish to visualize the stop-loss levels, enable the plot option and choose the price base for the plot, such as the closing price or the average of the high and low prices (hl2).
Example of Use
1. Initial Setup: After the market opens, wait for at least 15 minutes to ensure the VWAP has stabilized with sufficient volume data.
2. Parameter Configuration: Input your desired parameters into the calculator. For instance:
- VWAP StdDev Factors: 0.5 and 0.75
- Trading Account Size: $50,000
- Maximum Lot Size: 200 shares
- Risk Value per Trade: $50
- Plot Option: On, using "hl2" or "close" as the price base
3. Execution: Based on the inputs, the script calculates the position size and stop-loss levels. If the calculated stop-loss falls within the selected VWAP StdDev range, it will provide you with precise stop-loss prices.
4. Trading: Use the calculated position size and stop-loss levels to execute your trades confidently, knowing that your risk is managed effectively.
Advantages for Traders
- Time Independence: By relying on VWAP and its StdDev, the calculations are not dependent on specific time intervals, making them more adaptable to real-time trading conditions.
- Focus on Strategy: Novice traders can focus more on their trading strategies rather than getting bogged down with complex calculations.
- Dynamic Adjustments: The script adjusts stop-loss levels dynamically based on evolving market conditions, providing more accurate and relevant risk management.
- Flexibility: Traders can tailor the calculator to their risk preferences and trading style by adjusting the StdDev factors and risk parameters.
By incorporating these concepts and using this risk management calculator, traders can enhance their trading efficiency, improve their risk management, and ultimately make more informed trading decisions.
Prometheus Polarized Fractal Efficiency (PFE)This indicator uses market data to calculate Polarized Fractal Efficiency (PFE) on an asset, so traders can have a better idea of which direction it may go.
Users can control the lookback length for the fractal calculation, the lookback length for the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and whether or not to display lines at the -50 and 50 level, or -25 and 25 level.
Polarized Fractal Efficiency:
The Polarized Fractal Efficiency (PFE) indicator is a value between -100 and 100 with 0 as a midpoint.
A PFE above 0 indicates the asset may trend higher, a PFE below 0 indicates the asset may trend lower.
There are many ways to trade with PFE, the intuitive trend riding as described above, or reversals.
Even when the PFE is above 0, if it gets high enough, it may also be an indication of a reversal. A PFE of 90 - 100, or -100 - -90, may indicate price is ready to revert the other direction. Furthermore, traders already in a position may look to breaks of other levels to be their take profit or stop out spot.
Calculation:
Pi = 100 x (Price - Price )2 + N2 / Summation, j= 0, to N-2 (Price - Price )2 + 1
If Close < Close Pi = -Pi
PFEi = EMA(Pi, M)
Where:
N = period of indicator
M = smoothing period
Citation: www.investopedia.com
Scenarios:
Inputs are (9, 5) and every display option is on.
Trend example
Step 1: A short trade appears as PFE crosses below -25. We reach a safe take profit as PFE crosses below -50. Traders can use these levels to exit as well as enter.
Step 2: On the cross above 25 there is a safe long. As the PFE value breaks 0 a safe, early take profit could be appropriate for this trade. No guarantee we would see 50.
Step 3: Long scenario at break of 25, straight to 50. Simple, straightforward setup.
Step 4: This long results in a stop loss. Once again entry as PFE crosses 25, but as we cross the 0 line it is for a loss.
Step 5: The last trade in this example is reminiscent of step 3. This is a short trade entry at break of 25 and exit at break of 50.
Traders have liberty to use the PFE value to determine spots to enter and exit trades, long or short. 25 and 50 were chosen arbitrarily, values like 10 and 60 may work as well, we encourage traders to use their own discretion along with tools.
Reversal example
Step 1: PFE is around -100, crossing below it at one point! Strong zone for a potential reversal.
Step 2: PFE crosses above 25 adding conviction.
Step 3: Option to exit at 70.
Step 4: Option to exit at 90.
There is no “one size fits all method”, this approach may be more intuitive for some users and is just as feasible as the first.
Longer trend example
Step 1: Using -50 and 50 this time instead of -25 and 25 to be safer on our entries we see a short here. Was a good entry and as the value gets closer to -70 we can safely close.
Step 2: On this candle we see a long for the break of 50. On the next candle we break the 0 line, but because of our safe entry at 50, we could hold this and only stop out at a break of -25. We get close but stay in it and close at 70.
Step 3: Break of 50 for a long once again. This time the break of 0 line occurs as we are in profit, not letting a green trade go red is a golden rule of trading, so an early exit here.
Step 4: Same at step 2, break of 50 to long and stay in it, not stopping out at break of 0 line. The PFE value eventually reaches 70 and there is a good exit.
Quicker Reversal example
Step 1: Notice a close with PFE below -90, enter long for the reversal. Then close for profit when the PFE crosses above 70.
Step 2: When the PFE breaks above 90 we have a short entry. Like the long closing it when it crosses below -70.
Step 3: This step is the same setup as step 2. As PFE breaks above 90 we have a short entry. Closing it when it crosses below -70.
Recap:
Described above are 4 different examples with many different trades. Both trend and reversal trades. The PFE value is an indicator that can be used by traders in many different ways and Prometheus encourages traders to use their own discretion along with tools and not follow indicators blindly.
Options:
Users can control the input for the lookback of the indicator. The default is 9.
The smoothing factor for the EMA is also changeable, default is 5.
Users have options to display lines at -50, -25, 25, and 50.
Support and Resistance Breakouts By RICHIESupport and resistance are fundamental concepts in technical analysis used to identify price levels on charts that act as barriers, preventing the price of an asset from getting pushed in a certain direction. Here’s a detailed description of each and how breakout strategies are typically used:
Support
Support is a price level where a downtrend can be expected to pause due to a concentration of demand. As the price of an asset drops, it hits a level where buyers tend to step in, causing the price to rebound.
Support Level Identification: Support levels are identified by looking at historical data where prices have repeatedly fallen to a certain level but have then rebounded.
Strength of Support: The more times an asset price hits a support level without breaking below it, the stronger that support level is considered to be.
Resistance
Resistance is a price level where an uptrend can be expected to pause due to a concentration of selling interest. As the price of an asset increases, it hits a level where sellers tend to step in, causing the price to drop.
Resistance Level Identification: Resistance levels are identified by looking at historical data where prices have repeatedly risen to a certain level but have then fallen back.
Strength of Resistance: The more times an asset price hits a resistance level without breaking above it, the stronger that resistance level is considered to be.
Breakouts
A breakout occurs when the price moves above a resistance level or below a support level with increased volume. Breakouts can be significant because they suggest a change in supply and demand dynamics, often leading to strong price movements.
Breakout Above Resistance: Indicates a bullish market sentiment. Traders often interpret this as a sign to enter a long position (buy).
Breakout Below Support: Indicates a bearish market sentiment. Traders often interpret this as a sign to enter a short position (sell).
Breakout Trading Strategies
Confirmation: Wait for a candle to close beyond the support or resistance level to confirm the breakout.
Volume: Increased volume on a breakout adds credibility, suggesting that the price move is supported by strong buying or selling interest.
Retest: Sometimes, after a breakout, the price will return to the breakout level to test it as a new support or resistance. This retest offers another entry point.
Stop-Loss: Place stop-loss orders just below the resistance (for long positions) or above the support (for short positions) to limit potential losses in case of a false breakout.
Take-Profit: Identify target levels for taking profits. These can be set based on previous support/resistance levels or using tools like Fibonacci retracements.

Strong Support and Resistance with EMAs @viniciushadek
### Strategy for Using Continuity Points with 20 and 9 Period Exponential Moving Averages, and Support and Resistance
This strategy involves using two exponential moving averages (EMA) - one with a 20-period and another with a 9-period - along with identifying support and resistance levels on the chart. Combining these tools can help determine trend continuation points and potential entry and exit points in market operations.
### 1. Setting Up the Exponential Moving Averages
- **20-Period EMA**: This moving average provides a medium-term trend view. It helps smooth out price fluctuations and identify the overall market direction.
- **9-Period EMA**: This moving average is more sensitive and reacts more quickly to price changes, providing short-term signals.
### 2. Identifying Support and Resistance
- **Support**: Price levels where demand is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further. These levels are identified based on previous lows.
- **Resistance**: Price levels where supply is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further. These levels are identified based on previous highs.
### 3. Continuity Points
The strategy focuses on identifying trend continuation points using the interaction between the EMAs and the support and resistance levels.
### 4. Buy Signals
- When the 9-period EMA crosses above the 20-period EMA.
- Confirm the entry if the price is near a support level or breaking through a resistance level.
### 5. Sell Signals
- When the 9-period EMA crosses below the 20-period EMA.
- Confirm the exit if the price is near a resistance level or breaking through a support level.
### 6. Risk Management
- Use appropriate stops below identified supports for buy operations.
- Use appropriate stops above identified resistances for sell operations.
### 7. Validating the Trend
- Check if the trend is validated by other technical indicators, such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) or Volume.
### Conclusion
This strategy uses the combination of exponential moving averages and support and resistance levels to identify continuity points in the market trend. It is crucial to confirm the signals with other technical analysis tools and maintain proper risk management to maximize results and minimize losses.
Implementing this approach can provide a clearer view of market movements and help make more informed trading decisions.
