Harmonic PatternsHarmonic Patterns
Harmonic Pattern utilizes the recognition of specific structures that possess distinct and consecutive Fibonacci ratio alignments that quantify and validate harmonic patterns. These patterns calculate the Fibonacci aspects of these price structures to identify highly probable reversal points in the financial markets. This methodology assumes that harmonic patterns, like many patterns and cycles in life, continually repeat.
Input Parameters:
Zigzag Setup:
These group of parameters are used to identify the swing points. The script also draws the Zigzag line and swing labels based on these parameters.
Harmonic Pattern Setup:
Ignore XD leg calculations – Optionally one can choose to ignore the XD leg calculation.
Fixed value leg offset % - Fixed value leg parameters are such parameters where single value Fibonacci value is used. This makes pattern identification very rare. To overcome this one can input % value which would be used to derive the range of Fibonacci numbers for pattern identification. E.g. XD leg in Bat pattern has fixed leg of 88.6%, If we input 5% as fixed value leg offset % then instead of fixed value of 88.6%, script calculates range as 88.6% + 5% (Value 1) and 88.6% - 5% (Value 2) and uses the same for pattern identification.
The script plots a diamond shape label on the last candle of the chart. The label has been enabled with a tooltip which shows number of patterns of each type along with the time where latest pattern is located.
This script covers harmonic patterns listed in the table below. Each harmonic pattern has bullish and bearish variants. All these patterns have 4 legs known as XABCD.
The Patterns have been configured as specified in the table below. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 to understand how to read and interpret the table.

█ USAGE / EXAMPLES
Dynamic Sine Wave The Dynamic Sine Wave is designed to calculate a sine wave that reflects the oscillations between the highest high and lowest low points over a specified period, providing traders with a unique perspective on market trends.
Why a Sine Wave is Relevant:
A sine wave is relevant in this context because it is a mathematical function that represents periodic oscillations, making it suitable for capturing the cyclic nature of price movements in financial markets.
By using a sine wave, this indicator highlights the repetitive patterns of price highs and lows over a specified period, which can assist traders in identifying potential trend reversals or continuations.
The sine wave's amplitude and frequency are adjusted based on the highest high and lowest low points, ensuring that it adapts to market volatility and provides a dynamic representation of price action.
Overall, the "Dynamic Sine Wave" indicator offers a unique perspective on market dynamics, helping traders make informed decisions by visualizing the ebb and flow of prices.
@tk · spectral█ OVERVIEW
This script is an indicator that helps traders to identify the price difference between spot and futures of the current crypto plotted into the chart. It works in both types of markets, when the chart is plotting the crypto in spot market, it will compare with its respective futures ticker and vice-versa. If the current asset isn't a crypt ticker, the indicator will not be plotted into the chart.
█ MOTIVATION
Since crypto's derivative market is based on spot market asset's price, to calculate the arbitrage mechanisms that attempts to balance the asset price, this indicator can help traders to identify some spot and futures price divergence that can create an anomaly of funding rate and can push it to an extreme negative — or positive — rate. So, easing to track the price difference between both markets will bring more evidences to identify an artificial price move, specially in crypto assets with low market cap.
█ CONCEPT
The trading concept to use this indicator is the concept of the arbitrage machamism created by exchanges that calculates the funding rate based on spot and futures price difference that will vary from exchange to exchange. This strategy don't works alone. It needs to be aligned together with others indicators like Exponential Moving Averages, Chart Patterns, Support and Resistance, and so on... Even more confluences that you have, bigger are your chances to increase the probability for a successful trade. So, don't use this indicator alone. Compose a trading strategy and use it to improve your analysis.

For the math lovers
I started creating the ZigZag++ based on the MT4 calculation as I found it better performing than the tradingview inbuilt one. I have revised the calculation couple of times and now the final calculation is simple yet more accurate for my analysis.
First, I observe the market direction for the last Depth setting by comparing the rate at which high values reduce and low values increase. When the number of ticks set by Deviation is crossed and the last cross is more than the Backstep candles, then we have our ZigZag points.
These are the points we use in our Fibonacci calculation.
Checkout ZigLib below to use the same logic in your scripts.
Sample usage
This is a 4 Hour configuration with the default settings.
When the trend reversed, some key points I watch are 0.618 and 0.5. The market retraced back and formed the new point for the next ZigZag line on that level. This market behaviour happens quite often on these Fibonacci points. I would be looking for reversal or a break in this zone to know the next step.

YinYang MomentumOverview:
YinYang Momentum is a Price, Volume and Momentum Oscillator. Its job is to help you see swings in momentum and the strength of it. It also creates signals (Blood Diamond (Bear) and Support Cross (Bull)) where these momentum swings may occur. YinYang Momentum features 3 Price and 3 Volume 'Mountains with Ice'. There are Predictive, Regular and Confirming Mountains. You have the ability to overlay them on top of each other which helps to decipher momentum swings. The Volume Mountains are very important for showing the strength behind the Price Mountains and their Signals. If you look, you'll notice, as the 'Ice' starts to curve into the 'Mountains' it signals a potential shift in Momentum. The green Mountain is the Predictive, the Blue is the Regular and the Purple is the Confirming. You'll also notice that the Predictive Mountains movements happen first and move much more drastically. When you notice the regular starts to follow suit, there is a potential for a momentum shift. Shortly after, a signal will occur if this shift is actually happening. You can also check the Confirming Mountain for more confirmation (however, leaving the Confirming Mountain active can be a little confusing and make it harder to read signals). YinYang Momentum also features Information Tables. These tables display how the Blood Diamonds and Support Cross' are fairing on different Timeframes. This way, you'll be able to see if it's in a Bullish or Bearish state on critical Time Frames no matter what Timeframe you're trading on.
Before we move onto the tutorial, let's discuss what each of these Mountains and Ice are and how they work. All of our Mountains and Ice are calculated using the same algorithm but with varying sources, lengths and multipliers. We are essentially calculating differences in movement and then sending those differences into an EMA for the Mountain Base and SMA for the mountain Ice. The values we use for the Predictive are much lower and therefore occur much quicker as they aren’t averaged out on longer lengths/time frames; this helps to make it more of a leading Indicator which may predict momentum changes. Our Regular is over a medium length and multipliers that result in a smooth but generally also gradual movement that helps reliability; this helps it act as more of an ‘in the now’ Indication of momentum changes. Our Confirming uses lengths and multipliers that are of a higher value and longer span; this makes it more difficult to use for determining entry / exit locations as it's more of a lagging indicator, but it helps to add confirmation as to whether the momentum change has occurred and wasn't a false signal.
Tutorial:
YinYang Momentum may look like a lot is going on.. And well that’s cause there is.. But that doesn’t mean it's confusing or hard to read once you know what you’re looking for!
To make this tutorial a little easier to understand, let's turn off a few settings and dissect this indicator one thing at a time. YinYang Momentum features Price and Volume mountains. Currently in the photo above we have 2 Price Mountains and 1 Volume Mountain turned on (this is how it's set by default and how we recommend using it), however there are 3 Mountains available for both Price and Volume:
Predictive
Regular
Confirming
We are going to deactivate everything so it's the Regular Price Mountain + Ice enabled.
Now that it is just the Regular Price Mountain and Ice it is much easier to teach and understand. As you can see there are two different colors on the mountain. The dark blue is the Mountain and the light blue is the Ice.
The Ice moves before the mountain does and when the momentum happens it is larger than it (below or above). When the momentum starts to change however, the Ice curves inside of the mountain. As you can see here, where the BUY signal (red cross) is, the Ice curves into the mountain; also where the SELL signal (red circle) is, the Ice curves into the mountain. The Ice curving into the mountain is a very important leading indication that momentum is changing and the Signals (crosses and diamonds) help solidify this momentum change.
The Index levels for YinYang Momentum is a little different than most oscillators that range from 0-100. Instead YinYang Momentum’s neutral level is 0 and it ranges from -100 to 100. For these reasons, the Viable Range for Buying is -40 to -70 and the Optimal Range for Buying is -70 to -100. For Selling, the Viable Range is 40 to 70 and the Optimal Range is 70 to 100.
If you look at the example above, you can see whenever it has been in the optimal range and the signal occurred, it may potentially be an amazing time to buy or sell. However, when it is within the Viable Range it can be hit or miss. The reason for this is because we are only looking at the Regular Price Mountain and Ice. Once we turn on the Predictive Price and Regular Volume we will have a much clearer idea as to what is noise and what is a true purchase signal. Why don’t we turn on Predictive Price Mountains and Ice so you can see what we’re talking about:
So there are 2 big things that changed when we added the predictive price mountains + ice.
We can see that where the orange circle is, is just noise, it isn’t a viable buy signal.
We can see that where the red circle is, is actually a better spot to sell than the previous marked white circle slightly to the right of it.
We will explain why both above are true, but first let's explain how we were able to deduce this information.
There are 5 rules when deciphering if the signal is a true signal or just noise.
You want the predictive mountain to be decently spaced out from the regular mountain. Refer to the example above how that should look. Remember it's predictive so with parabolic movements it will get quite spaced out. If the price went up but slowly, it generally won’t be as spaced and isn’t as strong of a signal predictor.
You want the Ice to be of a decent size and to curve in on both the Predictive and Regular Mountains. Both arrows (red and white circle arrows) are pointing to Ice that does just that. The Predictive mountain is of decent size and spaced out and the Ice curves in sharply on the Predictive, before curving in sharply on the Regular and then we get both Predictive and Regular Support Cross on the Same Bar.
When you get the Signals (Predictive and Regular) the amount of bars between them matters a lot! On the same Bar is ideal, however 1-2, max 3 bars between them is acceptable. Any more than 3 bars spacing and it's too risky of a signal because that means momentum change was happening but then stopped before picking back up. This doesn’t mean it can’t be a good signal, it just means it is much more risky and we don’t recommend it.
You don’t want Signal Clustering. You can see an example of this from the picture above. Signal Clustering is where signals are back to back over and over. During this time the momentum is in a consolidation phase and easily swaps back and forth between signals. These signals are not reliable and should not be traded on. We only want to act on clear momentum based signals.
Last but certainly not least, actually, the most important! Ensure that the Mountain + Ice for both the Predictive and Regular is at the bare minimum touching (preferably inside) the Viable Range. The Optimal range is best, but most mountains don’t make it that far. Viable Range is where you will make most of your trades from. Sometimes a great signal happens with all 5 of these rules but it is only touching the Viable Range right at 40 or -40. This CAN be okay, but is also much more risky than if it was at 50 to 60 or -50 to -60.
Based on the 5 rules mentioned, take a second and look back at the photo where we initially added the Predictive Price mountains and Ice, can you decipher why the orange circle is just noise, and can you see why the red circle is a better sell location than the white circle slightly to the right of it?
Let’s bring that photo back up now and let’s discuss this:
Let's start with the orange circle:
This orange circle, without the predictive, was hard to tell if it was a good location to buy or not, but the second we turned it on we could clearly see it was just noise.
The spacing between the Predictive mountains and the Regular is almost non-existent.
There was signal clustering shortly before this signal.
Remember, there doesn’t have to be many rules broken for a signal to be either too risky or not valid at all. The safest trades are ones where it meets the requirements of all 5 rules (6 once we talk about volume, but 5 price rules).
Now, let's discuss the red circle:
This red circle, although it could have been chosen with just the regular, was much more noticeable with the predictive added on top.
It has a perfect spacing between the Predictive and the Regular all the way to the peak.
The Ice is large and both curve in very nicely towards the mountains.
The signals are within 2 bars apart from each other.
There is no signal clustering.
The Predictive is within the Viable Range and the Regular is just touching it.
For these reasons, the red circle actually would have been where you sold and not the white circle beside it.
This pretty much covers the Price Mountains, but wait! The most important Cherry on Top to your decision making process is coming next!
We have just enabled our Regular Volume Mountains and Ice (which are the black mountains + ice). As you can see, we have circled what we call the ‘Perfect Combo’. This Perfect combo is when you have all 5 Price rules met COMBINED with a high volume mountain. The Volume Mountain and Ice act as strength. They aren’t biased towards bulls or bears, they simply show strength to whatever signal is present with it.
For example, if all 5 rules are met with Price on a Blood Diamond (Bear) Signal and there is a High Volume Mountain then this is also a ‘Perfect Combo’. That Blood Diamond signal will potentially have great strength behind it. The Viable and Optimal Ranges don’t apply to volume mountains. Any volume mountain, even close to the Viable Range, is considered to be a very high mountain. High volume is when the mountain is above 0 and low volume is when it's below 0. Any signal with low volume has less of a chance of being correct, regardless of whether it abides by all 5 price rules.
You can see here that the 5 Price rules are achieved but the volume mountain is low. It is at -25. Since the 5 Price rules are right, there is still a decent amount of accuracy to this signal and the price did plummet after, but not nearly as much as it would have if the volume mountain was high with it.
We have turned our Confirming Price Mountain on here so you can get an idea of what it looks like and how it’s used. If you refer to the Support Crosses and Blood Diamonds circled in white, you’ll see that although they both received their signals on the Predictive and Regular, neither of them received it on the Confirming. This shows that these signals lost momentum shortly after. However if you look at both the red and green circles, you’ll see that they both received their confirming signals and that it helped give those signals momentum. The Confirming Price Mountain is meant to help confirm if the momentum change is still on track and the max 3 bars from the regular signal rule still applies to it. However its height within the viable and optimal range is important, just not as relevant
Before we move on to our Information Tables we want to take a second just to discuss our Volume Mountains and Ice. We haven’t had a chance yet to discuss the Predictive or Confirming Volume. When it comes to our Volume Mountains + Ice, we don’t recommend having more than 1 on at a time. The reason we have included the Predictive and Confirming is in case you find they suit your Trading Style best, not necessarily to be used the same way the Price Mountains and Ice are. The main reason for this is due to the fact that the Volume Mountains are much smaller and when overlaid on top of each other can make a confusing blur that is hard to decipher.
In this example above we have enabled both Predictive and Regular Volume just so you can understand what we are talking about. The two together can be rather confusing and actually interfere with your decision making process. For this reason, we highly recommend finding the Volume Mountain that suits your trading style best and solely sticking to that.
Our Predictive Volume Mountains and Ice may help sense volume changes before they’ve even happened. This can be very useful if your Trading Style revolves around heavy volume changes.
Our Confirming Volume Mountains and Ice are much slower and smaller, but they help show the movement of volume that has occurred already. This can be used to help see the movement of volume without fearing it may or may not happen.
Our Information Tables are there to show you valuable information on whether it is in a state of Support Cross or Blood Diamond on 6 different Time Frames at the same time. The % it shows you displays how much of a price change has occurred since that signal has happened. It is important to note, if for instance you see it is in a state of Support Cross but the % is negative, this generally means it is going to switch to Blood Diamond soon and vice versa. Therefore if you are in a trade, especially on a lower Time Frame and you are watching the 1 Day or a higher Time Frame and notice that the % is getting less and less, it may be a good time to get out.
We will conclude our Tutorial here. If you have any Questions, Concerns, Suggestions or Comments please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Settings:
1. Show Predictive to Confirmed Trendline:
The Predictive to Confirmed Trendline is very useful for seeing when the predictive (Support Cross or Blood Diamond) has hit the confirmed (It’s a strong confirmation that the trend may be shifting). This trendline also features a Moving Average which helps give you a solid marker for when the Regular / Predictive mountains cross under or over it that a momentum swing may occur. Somewhat like when the RSI crosses above/below its Moving Average it dictates momentum change, that is likewise how to interpret when it happens with the mountains and this trendline.
2. Show Price Ice and Mountains based on:
The Price Ice and Mountains are very important when it comes to deciphering signal strength. For example, When the mountains are very low (regular and predictive) and are between the 2 red line (undervalued) or even possibly below the bottom red line, and the Ice on the mountains starts to curve into the mountains and then the Predictive and Regular Support Cross occur; this is a very strong Bullish Signal. But wait, that's not all, the cherry on top is when the volume mountain (black) is ALSO high while this occurs; the Volume Mountain adds Strength to the signal. When the volume mountain is high too during this ‘Perfect Combo’ this may potentially lead to very bullish price movement occurring soon. Here is an overview of each mountain:
2.1. Predictive: Are the least reliable, but they move first and nothing will move without the predictive moving first, and getting you ready.
2.2. Regular: Are the most accurate, they don't signify strength on its own, but they sure show some momentum.
2.3. Confirming: Are slightly behind when it comes to displaying data, and therefore shouldn't be used for entry / exit, but rather to show if the trend movement has truly been confirmed or not.
When the Ice starts to curve into the Mountain, (either upward or below) it signifies possible momentum change. There are Crosses (Bull), and Diamonds (Bear) to show when they've crossed. Cross' and Diamonds balance each other out and therefore there can never be more than 1 in a row (of the same type). When the Ice and Mountain size is very large (between 40 and 70), and the predictive Ice starts to curve into its mountain, and then the predictive curves into the Regular, and the Regular Ice is curving into its Mountain, then it may have some strong weight behind that signal. IMPORTANT: refer to Volume tooltip below for how to increase the signal strength even more.
3. Show Volume Ice and Mountains based on:
The Volume Ice and Mountains are for giving strength to the Price's signals and Size. When there is the perfect combo (described above) AND the Volume Ice + Mountain is high, then there may be a lot of strength to that Price signals (whether it is Cross (Bull), or Diamond (Bear)).
IMPORTANT: High volume mountains, unlike Price, don't mean good or bad. Volume shows strength to the Price, and therefore if there are high Volume mountains during a Diamond (Bearish), then there may be a lot of strength to that signal and vice versa.
4. Show Information Tables:
Information tables are used to display 6 different Time Frames and whether or not each time frame is in a state of Blood Diamond (red) or Support Cross (green). They also show how much % in price has changed since the current signal happened. These are very useful for seeing how the price is fairing on different Time Frames without having to constantly change your timeframe. For instance, maybe you base your entry off the 1 day time frame but then you swing trade on the 15 minute. Well, after you’ve confirmed your entry position and are sitting on the 15 minute, you can stay on the 15 minute and see how it is fairing on the 1 day, 5 minute or whatever time frame you choose. This way you aren’t distracted from the trade at hand. All of these Time Frames can be adjusted in the Settings (GUI) to whatever resolution you wish.
5. Res1 / Res2/ Res3 / Res4 / Res5 / Res6:
These represent the different resolutions (Time Frames) being used in your information tables and can be modified to display whatever resolution works best for your trading style. By default they are:
Res1: Current Timeframe
Res2: 15 Minute
Res3: 1 Hour
Res4: 4 Hour
Res5: 1 Day
Res6: 1 Week
Backup Res (not changeable): 5 Minute (this is only used if your Current Timeframe in Res1 is a duplicate of one of the other resolutions)
HAPPY TRADING!
YinYang VolumeOverview:
YinYang Volume is an Advanced Volume Indicator. Regular Volume can be deceiving. It can be hard to tell how much of the Volume bar is Buy vs Sell volume, especially since the bar is green or red simply based on if it closes at a greater price than it opened. With YinYang Volume you'll be able to see how much Buy AND Sell Volume there is on each bar. Being able to see both is very useful, but the cherry on top is the Buy and Sell Moving Average Lines. These lines (White is Buy and Orange is Sell) can show who is currently winning the fight, Bulls or Bears. When the lines cross it's a shift in momentum and when combined with other technical analysis you can better understand the direction the market is moving and make an informed and educated trading decision. YinYang Volume also has Information tables, these tables display the Buy vs Sell volume on different Timeframes. This way even if you're trading on a Low Timeframe (like 15 minutes) you can see how the Buy vs Sell volume is fairing on other Timeframes.
Tutorial:
Unlike most volume indicators, including standard volume, we can see both Buy AND Sell volume for each bar. You may be wondering, well what’s the importance of this? The answer is EVERYTHING! Volume is one of the most important indicators when it comes to trading. Nothing moves without volume. However, with standard volume, the bar is either red or green simply based on if it closes greater than it opens. Now, that is pretty silly if you ask us. Let’s get into depth as to why seeing both Buy and Sell volume is important, and examples for how you can make trades with it:
In this example above, we have 2 green bars and they both have high levels of volume. This bar on the right however, has more volume than the one on the left. The issue here is, the bar on the right has MORE Sell volume than it even does have Buy volume; meanwhile the bar on the left has way more buy volume than the bar on the right with little sell volume. Without separating them and by simply looking at the price bar and regular volume bar, we would never be able to deduce this. It is crucial to understand and see how much of each volume there is as it plays a huge role in the price movements.
The white line represents the Buy Volume Moving Average and the orange line represents the Sell Volume Moving Average. These moving averages are very useful as when they cross they represent strong Buy and Sell Signals.
We’ve enabled signals which plot circles onto the MA’s to display when they’ve crossed. The white circle represents a Buy Signal and the Orange circle represents a Sell Signal. These signals are very strong, but there is a catch that comes with it. The bar right after the signal has the highest chance of a reversal so it isn’t always advised to make the trade until confirmed that the reversal didn’t happen on the following bar. If you have enough data based on other technical analysis to know the first signal is true, then use it as a way to solidify the fact that it is a good entry/exit location.
You can change the length of which the MA’s are smoothed out over. For instance, in the previous examples and by default the length is 14. However, if we are to change it to 50 for instance, it makes them a longer lasting MA that has much fewer crosses. This can be useful based on your trading style and if you prefer to stay in trades for quite awhile. As you can see, all signals with the 50 length are quite accurate and would have produced profitable trades, likely more so than at 14, but since it moves slower there's fewer signals to trade on.
Our Information Tables are there to show you the amount of Buy vs Sell %’s on 6 different Time Frames at the same time. It can be very useful to know how people are feeling on different Time Frames without you having to change your own. This way you can stay on say the 15 minute Time Frame locked in your trade and can see if the momentum of your long trade is cooling down based on higher Time Frames Buy vs Sell volume %’s.
For example, let's say you got an alert from YinYang Volume for Buy Signal on the 1 Day. You then entered a trade which you deemed a good location on the 15 minutes (after doing your own technical analysis on the 15 minute too). The Buy vs Sell Volume %’s on the 1 Day was 55% Buy and 45% Sell when you entered the trade. You are still waiting for exit confirmation on the 15 minute but you notice the Buy vs Sell Volume % on the 1 Day goes down to 52% Buy and 48% Sell. You can see the momentum changing. Even though you haven’t received confirmation for exit on the 15 minute, it may still be a good time to get out as momentum is clearly changing on the 1 Day.
We will conclude this Tutorial here. We hope you’ll get some good use out of our Volume Indicator and its ability to display unique Volume Data. If you have any Questions, Comments, Suggestions or Concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Settings:
1. Show Signals:
Toggling this setting shows when the Buy and Sell Volume MA’s cross each other. It produces a white circle when the Buy Volume Crosses over the Sell Volume (BULLISH) and an orange circle when the Sell Volume Crosses over the Buy Volume (BEARISH).
2. Length:
How far back should we average the Buy and Sell Volume Moving Averages? 14 is default has been tested and proven to work well, however you can change it if there is a different value that suits your trading style better.
3. Type:
How is the Moving Averages calculated? VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average) is the default as it has been tested and worked best; afterall, we are calculating volume and therefore should use a volume weighted MA calculation. However, you can change it as your options are:
VWMA, EMA and SMA
4. Information Tables:
4.1. Show Information Tables:
Our Information tables display 6 different resolutions so you can see how much Buy vs Sell volume there is as a % in multiple different Time Frames without having to change your Time Frame.
4.2. Strength:
The Buy / Sell Volume %’s displayed within your Information Tables are based on Moving Averages. The length this moving average uses is based on the Strength you select. The strengths aren’t as simple as just a length amount but are a calculation involving multiple different lengths and averages. However, the stronger the strength, generally the farther the lookback length is as an average. Your options for strength are:
Unbreakable
Very Strong
Strong
Average
Weak
Very Weak
Glass
We recommend ‘Average’ Strength, however if you find you want to see the %’s change more or less frequently you can adjust to your trading style
4.3. Res1 / Res2/ Res3 / Res4 / Res5 / Res6:
These represent the different resolutions (Time Frames) being used in your information tables and can be modified to display whatever resolution works best for your trading style. By default they are:
Res1: Current Timeframe
Res2: 15 Minute
Res3: 1 Hour
Res4: 4 Hour
Res5: 1 Day
Res6: 1 Week
Backup Res (not changeable): 5 Minute (this is only used if your Current Timeframe in Res1 is a duplicate of one of the other resolutions)

YinYang Fear and Greed Index (FGI)Overview:
YinYang Fear and Greed Index is used for seeing how people are feeling towards the current price. It works similar to an RSI, but fluctuates differently. Essentially you want to be Greedy when the Index displays Fear and Fearful when it displays Greed. Our Indicator displays a Green Circle (Greed Signal) on the YinYang Fear and Greed Index when there is a large amount of Greed at this price point. It displays a Red Circle (Fear Signal) when there is a large amount of Fear. The Fear and Greed Signals can happen at any Fear and Greed Index but generally they correlate with the Index level. The Fear and Greed Signals are much more important at dictating a swing in momentum than the actual Index itself. The Index is more of a guide and is useful for seeing when the Index level crosses the Ma (the yellow line) as you can see a shift in momentum. However for large swings in momentum, the Fear and Greed Signals should be used. Do NOT Ignore these signals, they are quite powerful at predicting momentum swings.
Tutorial:
As you can see, the Fear and Greed Index looks somewhat similar to an RSI, but it has the ability to gain drastic momentum when there are strong changes in Fear and Greed.
When it comes to identifying buy/sell locations you generally want to ensure 2 things:
For a buy, the Fear and Greed Index (FGI) is less than 30.
For a sell, the FGI is greater than 70.
A signal has occurred. For buy that is the red circle and for sell that is the green circle.
The reason we generally want to ensure these 2 rules is to ensure you have the highest chance of being right with the lowest risk of being wrong. The way you want to use this indicator is; Be Fearful when others are Greedy and Greedy when others are Fearful.
There will be times when a fear or greed signal appears when the index is between 30-70. When these occur, they are still generally strong signal locations that represent a high chance of momentum in the direction they signal, however they face a higher risk of being wrong and therefore shouldn’t be used on its own to make a trade.
In the photo above we can see that the FGI’s color changed from Red to Orange in the candle after the Fear Signal. This happened because there was high price movement right after it (which is normal) and caused the Fear level to drop.
The color the FGI displays is based not off the FGI but by the STATE it is currently in. When the color is Green it is in a state of HIGH GREED, when the color is Red it is in a state of HIGH FEAR. When the color is Teal it is in a state of SLIGHT GREED, when the color is Orange it is in a state of SLIGHT FEAR. These colors hold true for the Information Tables as well.
As we can also see from the example above, it is 100% possible to have a state of HIGH GREED when the FGI is low. For instance look at the Fear (BUY) signals circled. Right before the Fear Signals happened, it was in a state of HIGH GREED (Green). The opposite is also true with Fear. We can have a high state of Fear when the FGI is high. However, please do remember, the lowest risk and best time to make trades is still:
FGI is higher than 70 and there is a Greed Signal = SELL
FGI is lower than 30 and there is a Fear Signal = BUY
You may notice there are sometimes occurrences that we call ‘Oddballs’. These oddballs are quite rare but they do happen and when they do they’re generally in clusters (close together). These Oddballs are when a Greed Signal occurs when the FGI is very low or when a Fear Signal occurs when the FGI is very high. Basically, they are occurring in the opposite location that they are supposed to. These may not seem like they matter but they matter a lot. As you can see based on where the blue vertical lines are, the price moved in the direction the signal identified shortly after the signal.
You may be wondering, are Oddball’s stronger price influencers than the regular signal? The issue with Oddballs is they sometimes CAN BE. But generally they aren’t. They generally do signal price movement will occur in the direction they are influencing, but generally not as much movement as if it occurred properly (Fear signal under 30 or Greed signal above 70).
The takeaway from Oddballs is to acknowledge their existence and potentially use them as markers for smaller purchases or DCA locations. We don’t recommend treating them as a legitimate purchase signal as they generally are weaker and less predictable, but nevertheless don’t dismiss them.
Our Information Tables are there to show you the FGI on 6 different Time Frames at the same time. This can be very useful for knowing how the other Time Frames are fairing while you are trading without needing to constantly change the Time Frame you are on.
For example, you see a Fear Signal on the 1 Day Time Frame, you then swap to the 15 minute Time Frame to find your entry location. Well, once you’re locked into that trade, you’ll likely be fixated on the 15 minute Time Frame. There’s a chance while you’re still waiting for your exit that levels and states of the FGI could change on higher Time Frames. This could drastically influence when and where your exit on the lower Time Frame should be.
This concludes our Tutorial on how to use YinYang Fear and Greed Index (FGI). However, continue reading for a description and better understanding of the Settings available to you for customization within this Indicator.
Settings:
1. Information Tables:
1.1. Show Information Tables:
Our Information Tables display 6 different Time Frames (resolutions) so that you can see the current level of Fear and Greed (FGI) that is prevalent on each Time Frame. There are 4 different states the FGI can be in:
Fear (Red)
Minor Fear (Orange)
Greed (Green)
Minor Greed (Teal)
The color of each Time Frame Cell (on Oscillator and in the table) is based on the following:
Red: Red represents that it is currently in a state of Fear. When it is in a state of fear it means traders are being overly bearish and selling when they likely shouldn’t. While it is in a state of Fear, there is a high chance of BULLISH price movement occurring. Remember, Be Fearful when others are Greedy and Greedy when others are Fearful.
Orange: Orange represents that it is currently in a state of Minor Fear. Minor Fear means that the FGI is less than 50, but it’s not currently in a state of Fear or Greed. While it is in this state, there is a better chance for BULLISH price action than there is bearish but it's nowhere near as likely as when in a state of Fear.
Green: Green represents that it is currently in a state of Greed. When it is in a state of Greed, it means traders are being overly bullish and buying when they shouldn’t. While it is in a state of Greed, there is a high chance of BEARISH price movement occurring.
Teal: Teal represents that it is currently in a state of Minor Greed. Minor Greed means that the FGI is greater than 50, but it’s not currently in a state of Fear or Greed. While it is in this state, there is a better chance for BEARISH price actions than there is bullish; but it’s nowhere near as likely as when its in a state of Greed.
2. Res1 / Res2/ Res3 / Res4 / Res5 / Res6:
These represent the different resolutions (Time Frames) being used in your information tables and can be modified to display whatever resolution works best for your trading style. By default they are:
Res1: Current Timeframe
Res2: 15 Minute
Res3: 1 Hour
Res4: 4 Hour
Res5: 1 Day
Res6: 1 Week
Backup Res (not changeable): 5 Minute (this is only used if your Current Timeframe in Res1 is a duplicate of one of the other resolutions)
Our Fear and Greed Index can be very useful for understanding how people are feeling in the market and when large price swings will occur. Remember, Be Greedy when others are Fearful and Fearful when others are Greedy!

ABC on Recursive Zigzag [Trendoscope]There are several implementations of ABC pattern in tradingview and pine script. However, we have made this indicator to provide users additional quantifiable information along with flexibility to experiment and develop their own strategy based on the patterns.
🎲 Highlights of this indicator over other ABC implementations are:
Implementation is based on recursive multi level zigzag allows bigger as well as smaller patterns to be identified
Allows users to set their trading rules with respect to entry, target and stop ratios, experiment and build their own strategy based on the ABC pattern.
Back test summary including win ratio and risk reward will help users understand the profitability based on different settings being used.
🎲 Concept of ABC Pattern
The ABC pattern, also known as the "Corrective Wave" or "Zigzag Pattern," is a fundamental concept in Elliott Wave Theory, which is widely used in technical analysis to identify and predict price movements in financial markets.
The ABC pattern is a three-wave corrective pattern that typically occurs within the context of a larger impulse or trending wave. It consists of two smaller waves in the opposite direction (A and C) separated by a corrective wave (B). These waves are labeled alphabetically and represent price movements.
Wave A (Impulse Wave): Wave A is the first leg of the ABC pattern and is characterized by a strong price move in the opposite direction of the prevailing trend. It is often driven by a fundamental or sentiment-driven event that temporarily disrupts the trend.
Wave B (Corrective Wave): Wave B is the corrective wave that follows Wave A. It represents a partial retracement of Wave A's price movement. Wave B can take various forms, such as a simple correction or a complex correction (e.g., a triangle or a flat correction). It typically doesn't retrace the entire length of Wave A.
Wave C (Impulse Wave): Wave C is the final leg of the ABC pattern and is characterized by a strong price move in the same direction as the prevailing trend. It often surpasses the starting point of Wave A and confirms the resumption of the larger trend.
🎲 Indicator Components
Upon loading the indicator on the chart, we can observe the following components on the chart.
Pattern Drawings is the graphical representation of present patterns. Please note that it is not necessary for patterns to be there on the chart all the time. Patterns will appear on the chart when price makes the patterns.
Trade Box is the box representing trade signals of the pattern. These trade levels are generated based on the user settings.
Summary Table is the back test summary containing details of historical pattern performance including Win Ratio and Risk Reward.
🎲 Indicator Settings
Details of each user settings are provided in the tooltips. Below is the snapshot of it.
🎲 Alerts
Basic level of alerts are built in the script using alert function to highlight the following conditions:
New ABC Pattern

Auto Harmonic Pattern - Screener [Trendoscope]At Trendoscope, we take pride in offering a wide range of indicators on Harmonic Patterns, including both free and premium options. While we have successfully developed various advanced tools, we recognize that creating a Harmonic Pattern screener is an audacious endeavor that few have ventured into.
Creating a harmonic pattern screener presents a formidable challenge. The intricate nature of the algorithm, coupled with the limitations of cloud-based processing and platform memory, makes it exceedingly difficult to implement the screener functionality without encountering runtime errors.
Today marks a historic achievement as we overcome numerous challenges to unveil our groundbreaking harmonic pattern-based screener. This significant leap signifies our commitment to innovation in the field.
Without further delay, let's dive right into the new Auto Harmonic Pattern - Screener algorithm
🎲 Features Overview
🎯 Primary Functionality
We prefer not to categorize this as a traditional indicator, as it goes beyond that scope. Instead, it's a unique amalgamation of both a screener and an indicator, designed to achieve primarily two essential functions.
Firstly, it efficiently scans multiple tickers, up to 20, for harmonic pattern formations and presents them on a user-friendly dashboard
Secondly, it provides harmonic pattern drawings on the chart, but only if the current chart ticker is part of the screener and exhibits a harmonic pattern formation.
🎯 Secondary Features
In addition to its primary functionalities, our revolutionary algorithm offers an array of secondary features that cater to traders' diverse needs
Users have the privilege of accessing enhanced settings, providing limitless customization options for the zigzag and pattern detection algorithm
The platform empowers traders to effortlessly customize stop entry target ratios, facilitating automatic calculations and display of suggestions
The freedom to personalize the visualization and display of patterns and dashboard ensures a seamless and intuitive user experience
And finally, the algorithm leaves no stone unturned, keeping traders well-informed through timely alerts on every bar, highlighting tickers exhibiting Harmonic Pattern formations.
🎯 Limitations
Our innovative screener harnesses the power of the recursive zigzag algorithm to deliver efficient and accurate harmonic pattern detections. While the deep search algorithm, present in our other Harmonic Pattern algorithms, offers unparalleled precision, its resource-intensive nature makes it unsuitable for simultaneous scanning of 20 tickers. By focusing on the recursive zigzag approach, we strike the perfect balance between performance and functionality, ensuring seamless scanning across multiple tickers without compromising on accuracy. This strategic decision allows us to deliver a powerful and reliable screener that meets the diverse needs of traders and empowers them with real-time harmonic pattern insights.
🎲 Chart Components
Upon loading the indicator and configuring your tickers, our user-friendly interface offers two key components seamlessly integrated into the chart:
A color-coded screener dashboard : The dashboard presents a clear visualization of tickers with bullish and bearish harmonic patterns. This intuitive display allows you to quickly identify potential trading opportunities based on pattern formations.
Dynamic pattern display : As you interact with the chart, our algorithm dynamically highlights possible harmonic patterns based on the latest zigzag pivots. Please note that patterns may not always be visible on the chart, especially in cases where higher-level zigzags take time to form pivots. However, rest assured that our sophisticated algorithm ensures real-time updates, providing you with accurate and timely harmonic pattern insights.
🎯 Screener Dashboard
In our screener dashboard, you will find a wealth of information at your fingertips:
Bullish patterns : Tickers exhibiting bullish harmonic patterns are prominently highlighted with a refreshing green background
Bearish patterns : Similarly, tickers featuring bearish harmonic patterns stand out with a striking red background
Dual patterns : Tickers displaying both bullish and bearish patterns are cleverly highlighted in a captivating purple background, providing a comprehensive view of the harmonic pattern landscape.
Tickers without current patterns : Tickers lacking any current patterns are elegantly displayed with a silver background. These tickers do not trigger tooltips, streamlining your focus on actionable pattern-related data.
🎲 Settings in Detail
🎯 Tickers
Our platform currently allows users to select up to 20 tickers for the harmonic pattern screener. We understand the importance of flexibility and scalability, and while we are excited to accommodate more tickers in the future, our present focus is to ensure optimal performance within the CPU and memory limitations. Rest assured, we are continuously working on enhancing our capabilities to provide you with an even more comprehensive experience. Stay tuned for updates as we strive to meet your evolving needs.
🎯 Zigzag and Harmonic Pattern
In this section, we present a range of essential settings that play a pivotal role in the calculation of the zigzag and the scanning of patterns. These parameters share similarities with other premium indicators associated with Harmonic patterns. These settings serve as building blocks for our advanced algorithms' suite.
This include
Zigzag length and depth settings for calculation of the multi level recursive zigzag
Pattern scanning settings to filter patterns based on preferences of category, pattern name, accuracy of calculation, and other considerations.
User preference of pattern trading ratios that are used for calculating entry, stop and target prices.
🎯 Screener Dashboard and Alerts
In this section, we introduce the parameters that define the format and content of alerts and the screener dashboard, offering you maximum flexibility in customizing their display. These settings encompass the following key aspects:
Screener dashboard position, layout and size that influence the display of screener dashboard.
List of parameters that can be shown on dashboard tooltips as well as on alerts.
Format of alert and tooltip data
🎯 Pattern Display
These are the settings related to pattern display on the chart and to limit calculation to last n bars
Will soon make video tutorials on this soon.
Recursive Micro Zigzag🎲 Overview
Zigzag is basic building block for any pattern recognition algorithm. This indicator is a research-oriented tool that combines the concepts of Micro Zigzag and Recursive Zigzag to facilitate a comprehensive analysis of price patterns. This indicator focuses on deriving zigzag on multiple levels in more efficient and enhanced manner in order to support enhanced pattern recognition.
The Recursive Micro Zigzag Indicator utilises the Micro Zigzag as the foundation and applies the Recursive Zigzag technique to derive higher-level zigzags. By integrating these techniques, this indicator enables researchers to analyse price patterns at multiple levels and gain a deeper understanding of market behaviour.
🎲 Concept:
Micro Zigzag Base : The indicator utilises the Micro Zigzag concept to capture detailed price movements within each candle. It allows for the visualisation of the sequential price action within the candle, aiding in pattern recognition at a micro level.
Basic implementation of micro zigzag can be found in this link - Micro-Zigzag
Recursive Zigzag Expansion : Building upon the Micro Zigzag base, the indicator applies the Recursive Zigzag concept to derive higher-level zigzags. Through recursive analysis of the Micro Zigzag's pivots, the indicator uncovers intricate patterns and trends that may not be evident in single-level zigzags.
Earlier implementations of recursive zigzag can be found here:
Recursive Zigzag
Recursive Zigzag - Trendoscope
And the libraries
rZigzag
ZigzagMethods
The major differences in this implementation are
Micro Zigzag Base - Earlier implementation made use of standard zigzag as base whereas this implementation uses Micro Zigzag as base
Not cap on Pivot depth - Earlier implementation was limited by the depth of level 0 zigzag. In this implementation, we are trying to build the recursive algorithm progressively so that there is no cap on the depth of level 0 zigzag. But, if we go for higher levels, there is chance of program timing out due to pine limitations.
These algorithms are useful in automatically spotting patterns on the chart including Harmonic Patterns, Chart Patterns, Elliot Waves and many more.
@tk · fractal rsi levels█ OVERVIEW
This script is an indicator that helps traders to identify the RSI Levels for multiple fractals wherever the current timeframe is. This script was based on RSI Levels, 20-30 & 70-80 by abdomi indicator, that calculates the Relative Strenght Index levels based on the asset's price and plots it into the chart, creating a "wave" style indicator. The core feature of this indicator is the fractal rays, so trader can visualize each of the oversold and overbought levels of multiple timeframe on the current timeframe that he is on. The indicator will plots multiple rays after the chart bars. indicating where is the oversold and overbought levels for others fractals.
█ MOTIVATION
Since the RSI Levels, 20-30 & 70-80 by abdomi indicator helps a lot to identify the possible price levels when the asset is oversold or overbought, I saw myself drawing multiple horizontal lines on these levels in lower timeframes so, in an uptrend or downtrend, I can try to get a pullback of these trends when the asset reaches oversold or overboght levels. So, I get the idea to make those lines visible in multiple timeframes so I don't need to draw it myself manually anymore.
█ CONCEPT
The trading concept to use this indicator is the concept to make entries on uptrend or downtrend pullbacks when the asset price reaches oversold or overbought levels. But this strategy don't works alone. It needs to be aligned together with others indicators like Exponential Moving Averages, Chart Patterns, Support and Resistance, and so on... Even more confluences that you have, bigger are your chances to increase the probability for a successful trade. So, don't use this indicator alone. Compose a trading strategy and use it to improve your analysis.

EMAflowPRO -Ranges-DISCLAIMER: Always, please keep in mind that market conditions change, past results cannot guarantee the same results in the future.
EMAflowPRO - Ranges-
EMAflowPRO ranges indicator will detect key movements in the market that fit certain conditions and based on that create key tradable zones by providing dynamic and static range levels.
Before reading further please take a look at the indicator values names on the right in the main chart above - these names are linked to the content below when we talk about range structure. The examples included in charts are linked to the area we're discussing (if something was said - most likely closest chart demonstrates it - Also arrows present entries; can be limit or can be market buy/sell in to the wicks.)
Let's find out what indicator does...
Static range logic:
Indicator uses combination of market timing indicators (counting relationship between candles) , fisher transform, stoch rsi, bollinger bands to detect important market price action that show strenght - based on that it will project a static range where key goal is to predict where market will be extremely oversold, extremely overbought or where market could change bias etc.
The setups it provides are very similar to those that come out of harmonic patterns - but it was developed with unique approach without knowing what harmonic patterns are.. so it's not completly the same.
Range is represented by 3 tradable areas (actual trade ideas on charts - arrow points towards a level - on the right there is a scale with a number- limit order can be placed there )
Top of the range - It serves as a shorting area or if top is converted to support can also signal a potential breakout or start of new trend.
Example of a short the top of the range:
29732 - is area where wicks can be sold in to , or limit sell is placed - with higher leverage sl should be tight, with lower sell orders can be spread out up to the middle with sl just above 30500, targets can be choosen based on the provious range top as % moves point.
Example of longing the levels on the recent rise - price staying above middle of the top of the range keeps bias on the upside and potentially signals a break out or start of new trend
Uppper, Middle, Lower part of the range: Sideway area - middle of the range decides direction , above favors the upper levels , below favors the lower levels.
Very nice example where white line is middle of the range and shows that even in strong trend - range projection is able to accurately predict key pullback areas that provide substantial gain. See image below - again settign limit orders where middle of the range is allows you to get a comfortable entry with very big risk reward ratio.
Bottom of the range - market is extremely oversold
Spx example of our recent range from last year's summer - again chart includes both EMAflow indicator and EMAflow ranges as all indicators are extremely complementary and present two sides of the medal sideway and trend view.
Chart only contains ranges but shows the same pair and time:
If price goes below middle of the bottom of the range it could signal a break down or start of new bearish trend.
Dynamic range logic
Since sometimes static range gets broken out or is not respected and the price action is not yet sufficient to generated a new one we included a dynamic supply demand part where dynamic range is generated working in a similar way but does add clarity when static range fails.
example of this can be seen when ftx caused a btc dump we broke through the bottom of the range but dynamic range later showed us new bottom we could trade.
Confluence between both can also provide even more sure levels to place limit orders or to market buy or sell when wicks in to that area occurs.
Minuses:
Since ranges tend to work best when market is sideway - a second part is recommended with EMAflowPRO where focus on moving averages helps you navigate stronger trends.
Not all tfs are well synced with ranges on various assets so you will need to flip through few ones to find the best timeframes that historically worked the best - if you come across an asset that doens't look good you should just change timeframe to higher until you see something that fits or change asset until you get something that looks clear.
Settings:
EMAflow - Ranges - allows you to preset minimum potential of a trade setup you want to look for - default is 6% that ensures you can get a good setup on lower and higher tfs.
Auto Motive Wave [Trendoscope]Earlier we created an interactive script to study Motive Waves by manually selecting the wave patterns on the chart.
You can find the open source script here:
In this indicator, we will try to do it automatically. Hence, you don't need to draw the waves manually to check anymore. The indicator will do it for you.
🎲 Conditions for Motive Wave
Rules for Motive Waves remain same as before. Motive wave can be either Impulse or Diagonal Wave. Diagonal wave can be either expanding or contracting diagonals. To learn more about diagonal waves, please go through this idea.
🎲 Rules for generic motive waves are as below
Pivots in order - Checks wether the pivots selected are in progressive order.
Directions in order - Checks if the pivot directions are correct - either PH, PL, PH, PL, PH, PL or PL, PH, PL, PH, PL, PH
Wave 2 never moves beyond the start of wave 1 - Wave 2 retracement is less than 100% of wave1
Wave 3 always moves beyond the end of wave 1 - Wave 3 retracement is more than 100% of wave2
Wave 3 is never the shortest one - Checks if Wave 3 is bigger than either Wave 1 or wave 5 or both.
🎲 Now, these are the specific rules for Impulse Waves on top of Motive Wave conditions
Wave 4 never moves beyond the end of Wave 1 - meaning wave 1 and wave 4 never overlap on price scale.
Wave 1, 3, 5 are all not extended. We check for retracement ratios of more than 200% to be considered as extended wave.
🎲 Below are the conditions for Diagonal Waves on top of Motive Wave conditions
Wave4 never moves beyond the start of Wave 3 - Wave 4 retracement is less than 100%
Wave 4 always ends within the price territory of Wave 1 - Unlike impulse wave, wave 4 intersects with wave 1 in case of diagonal waves. This is the major difference between impulse and diagonal wave.
Waves are progressively expanding or contracting - Wave1 > Wave3 > Wave5 and Wave2 > Wave4 to be contracting diagonal. Wave1 < Wave3 < Wave5 and Wave2 < Wave4 to be expanding diagonal wave.

Bearish Cypher Harmonic Patterns [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically draws bearish cypher harmonic patterns and price projections derived from the ranges that constitute the patterns.
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a close price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a close price that is lower than the price it opened.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Peak and Trough Prices (Basic)
• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Range
The range is simply the difference between the current peak and current trough prices, generally expressed in terms of points or pips.
Support and Resistance
• Support refers to a price level where the demand for an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further.
• Resistance refers to a price level where the supply of an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further.
Support and resistance levels are important because they can help traders identify where the price of an asset might pause or reverse its direction, offering potential entry and exit points. For example, a trader might look to buy an asset when it approaches a support level , with the expectation that the price will bounce back up. Alternatively, a trader might look to sell an asset when it approaches a resistance level , with the expectation that the price will drop back down.
It's important to note that support and resistance levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also break through these levels and continue moving in the same direction.
Upper Trends
• A return line uptrend is formed when the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price.
• A double-top is formed when the current peak price is equal to the preceding peak price.
Lower Trends
• An uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price.
• A return line downtrend is formed when the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
• A double-bottom is formed when the current trough price is equal to the preceding trough price.
Wave Cycles
A wave cycle is here defined as a complete two-part move between a swing high and a swing low, or a swing low and a swing high. The first swing high or swing low will set the course for the sequence of wave cycles that follow; for example a chart that begins with a swing low will form its first complete wave cycle upon the formation of the first complete swing high and vice versa.

Fibonacci Retracement and Extension Ratios
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers, starting with 0 and 1. For example 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, and so on. Ultimately, we could go on forever but the first few numbers in the sequence are as follows: 0 , 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.
The extension ratios are calculated by dividing each number in the sequence by the number preceding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 2/1 = 2, 3/2 = 1.5, 5/3 = 1.6666..., 8/5 = 1.6, 13/8 = 1.625, 21/13 = 1.6153..., 34/21 = 1.6190..., 55/34 = 1.6176..., 89/55 = 1.6181..., 144/89 = 1.6179..., and so on. The retracement ratios are calculated by inverting this process and dividing each number in the sequence by the number proceeding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 1/2 = 0.5, 2/3 = 0.666..., 3/5 = 0.6, 5/8 = 0.625, 8/13 = 0.6153..., 13/21 = 0.6190..., 21/34 = 0.6176..., 34/55 = 0.6181..., 55/89 = 0.6179..., 89/144 = 0.6180..., and so on.
1.618 is considered to be the 'golden ratio', found in many natural phenomena such as the growth of seashells and the branching of trees. Some now speculate the universe oscillates at a frequency of 0,618 Hz, which could help to explain such phenomena, but this theory has yet to be proven.
Traders and analysts use Fibonacci retracement and extension indicators, consisting of horizontal lines representing different Fibonacci ratios, for identifying potential levels of support and resistance. Fibonacci ranges are typically drawn from left to right, with retracement levels representing ratios inside of the current range and extension levels representing ratios extended outside of the current range. If the current wave cycle ends on a swing low, the Fibonacci range is drawn from peak to trough. If the current wave cycle ends on a swing high the Fibonacci range is drawn from trough to peak.
Harmonic Patterns
The concept of harmonic patterns in trading was first introduced by H.M. Gartley in his book "Profits in the Stock Market", published in 1935. Gartley observed that markets have a tendency to move in repetitive patterns, and he identified several specific patterns that he believed could be used to predict future price movements.
Since then, many other traders and analysts have built upon Gartley's work and developed their own variations of harmonic patterns. One such contributor is Larry Pesavento, who developed his own methods for measuring harmonic patterns using Fibonacci ratios. Pesavento has written several books on the subject of harmonic patterns and Fibonacci ratios in trading. Another notable contributor to harmonic patterns is Scott Carney, who developed his own approach to harmonic trading in the late 1990s and also popularised the use of Fibonacci ratios to measure harmonic patterns. Carney expanded on Gartley's work and also introduced several new harmonic patterns, such as the Shark pattern and the 5-0 pattern.
The bullish and bearish Gartley patterns are the oldest recognized harmonic patterns in trading and all the other harmonic patterns are ultimately modifications of the original Gartley patterns. Gartley patterns are fundamentally composed of 5 points, or 4 waves.
Bullish and Bearish Cypher Patterns
• Bullish cypher patterns are fundamentally composed of three troughs and two peaks, with the second peak being higher than the first peak and the second trough being higher than the first trough. The third trough must be lower than the second trough but higher than the first.
• Bearish cypher patterns are fundamentally composed of three peaks and two troughs, with the second trough being lower than the first trough and the second peak being lower than the first peak. The third peak must be higher than the second peak but lower than the first.
The most commonly recognised ratio measures used by traders today are as follows:
• Wave 1 of the pattern, referred to as XA, has no specific ratio requirements.
• Wave 2 of the pattern, referred to as AB, should retrace to at least 38.2%, but no further than 61.8% of the range set by wave 1.
• Wave 3 of the pattern, referred to as BC, should extend to at least 113%, but no further than 141.4% of the range set by wave 2.
• Wave 4 of the pattern, referred to as CD, should extend to at least 127.2%, but no further than 200% of the range set by wave 3.
• The last measure, that of wave 4 as a ratio of the range set between points X and C, referred to as XC, should retrace to 78.6%.
Measurement Tolerances
In general, tolerance in measurements refers to the allowable variation or deviation from a specific value or dimension. It is the range within which a particular measurement is considered to be acceptable or accurate. In this script I have applied this concept to the measurement of harmonic pattern ratios to increase to the frequency of pattern occurrences.
For example, the AB measurement of Gartley patterns is generally set at around 61.8%, but with such specificity in the measuring requirements the patterns are very rare. We can increase the frequency of pattern occurrences by setting a tolerance. A tolerance of 10% to both downside and upside, which is the default setting for all tolerances, means we would have a tolerable measurement range between 51.8-71.8%, thus increasing the frequency of occurrence.

█ LIMITATIONS
All green and red candle calculations are based on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. This may cause some unexpected behaviour on some markets and timeframes. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with.
█ NOTES
The cypher pattern was initially discovered by Darren Oglesbee, but I was unable to find any direct sources to his work on harmonic patterns. And although there seems to be some contention over whether or not there should be a ratio requirement for the CD wave, I decided to include it nonetheless.

The retracement ratios are calculated by inverting this process and dividing each number in the sequence by the number proceeding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 1/2 = 0.5, 2/3 = 0.666..., 3/5 = 0.6, 5/8 = 0.625, 8/13 = 0.6153..., 13/21 = 0.6190..., 21/34 = 0.6176..., 34/55 = 0.6181..., 55/89 = 0.6179..., 89/144 = 0.6180..., and so on.

Bullish and Bearish Deep Crab Patterns
• Bullish deep crab patterns are fundamentally composed of three troughs and two peaks. The second peak being lower than the first peak. And the third trough being lower than both the first and second troughs, while the second trough is higher than the first.
• Bearish deep crab patterns are fundamentally composed of three peaks and two troughs. The second trough being higher than the first trough. And the third peak being higher than both the first and second peaks, while the second peak is lower than the first.
The ratio measurements recommended by Scott Carney, who originated the pattern, are as follows:
• Wave 1 of the pattern, generally referred to as XA, has no specific ratio requirements.
• Wave 2 of the pattern, generally referred to as AB, should retrace to 88.6% of the range set by wave 1.
• Wave 3 of the pattern, generally referred to as BC, should retrace by at least 38.2%, but no further than 88.6% of the range set by wave 2.
• Wave 4 of the pattern, generally referred to as CD, should extend to at least 200%, but no further than 361.8% of the range set by wave 3.
• The last measure, generally referred to as AD, is that of wave 4 as a ratio of the range set by wave 1, which should extend to 161.8%.

• A red candle is one that closes with a close price that is lower than the price it opened.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Peak and Trough Prices (Basic)
• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Range
The range is simply the difference between the current peak and current trough prices, generally expressed in terms of points or pips.
Support and Resistance
• Support refers to a price level where the demand for an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further.
• Resistance refers to a price level where the supply of an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further.
Support and resistance levels are important because they can help traders identify where the price of an asset might pause or reverse its direction, offering potential entry and exit points. For example, a trader might look to buy an asset when it approaches a support level , with the expectation that the price will bounce back up. Alternatively, a trader might look to sell an asset when it approaches a resistance level , with the expectation that the price will drop back down.
It's important to note that support and resistance levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also break through these levels and continue moving in the same direction.
Upper Trends
• A return line uptrend is formed when the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price.
• A double-top is formed when the current peak price is equal to the preceding peak price.
Lower Trends
• An uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price.
• A return line downtrend is formed when the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
• A double-bottom is formed when the current trough price is equal to the preceding trough price.
Wave Cycles
A wave cycle is here defined as a complete two-part move between a swing high and a swing low, or a swing low and a swing high. The first swing high or swing low will set the course for the sequence of wave cycles that follow; for example a chart that begins with a swing low will form its first complete wave cycle upon the formation of the first complete swing high and vice versa.

Fibonacci Retracement and Extension Ratios
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers, starting with 0 and 1. For example 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, and so on. Ultimately, we could go on forever but the first few numbers in the sequence are as follows: 0 , 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.
The extension ratios are calculated by dividing each number in the sequence by the number preceding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 2/1 = 2, 3/2 = 1.5, 5/3 = 1.6666..., 8/5 = 1.6, 13/8 = 1.625, 21/13 = 1.6153..., 34/21 = 1.6190..., 55/34 = 1.6176..., 89/55 = 1.6181..., 144/89 = 1.6179..., and so on. The retracement ratios are calculated by inverting this process and dividing each number in the sequence by the number proceeding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 1/2 = 0.5, 2/3 = 0.666..., 3/5 = 0.6, 5/8 = 0.625, 8/13 = 0.6153..., 13/21 = 0.6190..., 21/34 = 0.6176..., 34/55 = 0.6181..., 55/89 = 0.6179..., 89/144 = 0.6180..., and so on.
1.618 is considered to be the 'golden ratio', found in many natural phenomena such as the growth of seashells and the branching of trees. Some now speculate the universe oscillates at a frequency of 0,618 Hz, which could help to explain such phenomena, but this theory has yet to be proven.
Traders and analysts use Fibonacci retracement and extension indicators, consisting of horizontal lines representing different Fibonacci ratios, for identifying potential levels of support and resistance. Fibonacci ranges are typically drawn from left to right, with retracement levels representing ratios inside of the current range and extension levels representing ratios extended outside of the current range. If the current wave cycle ends on a swing low, the Fibonacci range is drawn from peak to trough. If the current wave cycle ends on a swing high the Fibonacci range is drawn from trough to peak.
Harmonic Patterns
The concept of harmonic patterns in trading was first introduced by H.M. Gartley in his book "Profits in the Stock Market", published in 1935. Gartley observed that markets have a tendency to move in repetitive patterns, and he identified several specific patterns that he believed could be used to predict future price movements.
Since then, many other traders and analysts have built upon Gartley's work and developed their own variations of harmonic patterns. One such contributor is Larry Pesavento, who developed his own methods for measuring harmonic patterns using Fibonacci ratios. Pesavento has written several books on the subject of harmonic patterns and Fibonacci ratios in trading. Another notable contributor to harmonic patterns is Scott Carney, who developed his own approach to harmonic trading in the late 1990s and also popularised the use of Fibonacci ratios to measure harmonic patterns. Carney expanded on Gartley's work and also introduced several new harmonic patterns, such as the Shark pattern and the 5-0 pattern.
The bullish and bearish Gartley patterns are the oldest recognized harmonic patterns in trading and all the other harmonic patterns are ultimately modifications of the original Gartley patterns. Gartley patterns are fundamentally composed of 5 points, or 4 waves.
Bullish and Bearish Deep Crab Patterns
• Bullish deep crab patterns are fundamentally composed of three troughs and two peaks. The second peak being lower than the first peak. And the third trough being lower than both the first and second troughs, while the second trough is higher than the first.
• Bearish deep crab patterns are fundamentally composed of three peaks and two troughs. The second trough being higher than the first trough. And the third peak being higher than both the first and second peaks, while the second peak is lower than the first.
The ratio measurements recommended by Scott Carney, who originated the pattern, are as follows:
• Wave 1 of the pattern, generally referred to as XA, has no specific ratio requirements.
• Wave 2 of the pattern, generally referred to as AB, should retrace to 88.6% of the range set by wave 1.
• Wave 3 of the pattern, generally referred to as BC, should retrace by at least 38.2%, but no further than 88.6% of the range set by wave 2.
• Wave 4 of the pattern, generally referred to as CD, should extend to at least 200%, but no further than 361.8% of the range set by wave 3.
• The last measure, generally referred to as AD, is that of wave 4 as a ratio of the range set by wave 1, which should extend to 161.8%.
Measurement Tolerances
In general, tolerance in measurements refers to the allowable variation or deviation from a specific value or dimension. It is the range within which a particular measurement is considered to be acceptable or accurate. In this script I have applied this concept to the measurement of harmonic pattern ratios to increase to the frequency of pattern occurrences.
For example, the AB measurement of Gartley patterns is generally set at around 61.8%, but with such specificity in the measuring requirements the patterns are very rare. We can increase the frequency of pattern occurrences by setting a tolerance. A tolerance of 10% to both downside and upside, which is the default setting for all tolerances, means we would have a tolerable measurement range between 51.8-71.8%, thus increasing the frequency of occurrence.

█ LIMITATIONS
All green and red candle calculations are based on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. This may cause some unexpected behaviour on some markets and timeframes. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with.
