BB Scoreboard MTF1. The Concept: Harmony Across TimeframesThe Musical Score Visual: This indicator transforms absolute price into a relative "score" based on standard deviations ($\sigma$). It displays the positions of Short-Term (15m), Mid-Term (1H), and Long-Term (4H) prices on a single grid, similar to a musical staff.Syncing the "Breath" of the Market: By aligning three different timeframes, you can instantly see if the entire market is "breathing" in the same direction. 2. Trading Logic: The Power of ConvergencePerfect Order (Bullish): When the Short, Mid, and Long-term lines are all above the Middle (0) line, it indicates a strong, synchronized uptrend. This is the highest probability zone for "Buy on Dip" strategies.Perfect Order (Bearish): Conversely, when all lines are below the Middle line, the market is in a synchronized downtrend, making "Sell on Rally" the dominant strategy.Overextension (The Limits): When all three lines hit the $+3\sigma$ or $-3\sigma$ levels simultaneously, the market is extremely overextended, signaling an imminent correction or exhaustion. 3. Synergizing with "Volume-Wall" (FVG)To achieve the Ultimate Scalping Setup:Alignment: Wait for all three lines on the "Scoreboard" to point in the same direction (e.g., all above 0).The Anchor: Price returns to a Strong FVG (Volume-Wall).The Trigger: Enter the trade when the Short-term line bounces off a lower $\sigma$ level and heads back toward the $+1\sigma$ or $+2\sigma$ area.

Williams Fractal MA Pullback Strategy (1.5 RR) - BY DANISHOverview This strategy is a price action and moving average-based scalping strategy designed for low timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m). It combines trend alignment with pullbacks to key moving averages and uses Williams Fractals as entry triggers. It aims to catch high-probability scalping trades in the direction of the prevailing trend while keeping strict risk management with a 1.5:1 risk-to-reward ratio. Indicators Used Three Simple Moving Averages (SMA): Fast SMA: 20 periods (Green) Medium SMA: 50 periods (Yellow) Slow SMA: 100 periods (Red) Williams Fractals (Period 2): Identifies short-term local highs (red) and lows (green) for potential reversal or continuation setups. Trend Rules Bullish Trend (Long Setup): Fast SMA (20) > Medium SMA (50) > Slow SMA (100) Moving averages must not be crossing Bearish Trend (Short Setup): Slow SMA (100) > Medium SMA (50) > Fast SMA (20) Moving averages must not be crossing This ensures trades are only taken in the direction of the prevailing trend. Entry Rules Long Entry (Buy): Price pulls back to either the 20 SMA (fast) or 50 SMA (medium) without closing below the 100 SMA (slow). A green Williams Fractal forms after the pullback. Confirm all trend alignment rules (20>50>100). Enter a long position at the close of the candle that confirms the fractal. Short Entry (Sell): Price pulls back to either the 20 SMA (fast) or 50 SMA (medium) without closing above the 100 SMA (slow). A red Williams Fractal forms after the pullback. Confirm all trend alignment rules (100>50>20). Enter a short position at the close of the candle that confirms the fractal. Risk Management & Stop Loss Long Trades: If price stayed above 50 SMA during pullback → SL is just below 50 SMA If price dipped below 50 SMA but stayed above 100 SMA → SL is just below 100 SMA Short Trades: If price stayed below 50 SMA during pullback → SL is just above 50 SMA If price rose above 50 SMA but stayed below 100 SMA → SL is just above 100 SMA Take Profit (TP) Fixed 1.5 Risk-to-Reward ratio TP = Risk × 1.5 This ensures each trade has a positive expectancy and follows consistent risk-reward management. Additional Rules Fractals Confirmation: The strategy waits for 2 bars to close before confirming the fractal signal to avoid repainting. No trades are taken if the price violates the 100-period SMA during the pullback. Designed for scalping on low timeframes: 1m, 5m, or 15m charts. Visuals on Chart SMA Lines: 20 SMA (Green) 50 SMA (Yellow) 100 SMA (Red) Fractal Arrows: Green fractal → potential long entry Red fractal → potential short entry Trade Highlights: Strategy plots entries and exit levels automatically with stop loss and take profit. How to Use Add the script to a 1m, 5m, or 15m chart. Enable the strategy tester to see backtesting results. Follow the trend alignment rules strictly for high-probability scalping trades. Optionally, combine with volume filters or market structure analysis for better performance. Benefits Trades only in aligned trend direction, avoiding counter-trend traps. Pullback + fractal logic provides high-probability entries. Risk-to-reward of 1.5:1 ensures good risk management. Avoids fractal repainting by waiting for candle close. Ideal Conditions Works best on volatile assets like crypto or forex pairs with clear trending moves. Best applied to liquid markets with tight spreads for scalping. ✅ Summary: Trend-aligned scalping strategy Pullback to MA + fractal confirmation Fixed 1.5 RR risk management Works on low timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m) Clean visual signals with SMMAs and fractals

BULLISH!! Low High Range Options HelperThis indicator is designed for range-based options trading, where price tends to rotate between a defined low and high rather than trend continuously. Its purpose is not to tell you what to trade, but to provide context for timing, specifically answering the question: if price is at a discount here, how much time should an option realistically have? The script identifies a recent price range and plots three key levels. The range high represents the upper boundary of recent price action and often acts as a take-profit or resistance area. The range mid is the 50 percent equilibrium of the range and is intended as a confirmation level rather than an entry signal. The range low represents the discount zone, where risk is best defined for bullish options trades. This is the only area where options guidance is displayed. When price touches the range low, the indicator calculates how long similar range rotations have taken in the past, adjusts that timing to the current chart timeframe, and applies a safety factor to reduce the risk of under-timing an options position. It then displays a suggested days-to-expiration label, such as 3 DTE, 4 DTE, 5 DTE, 6 DTE, 7 DTE, 10 DTE, or 14 plus. Shorter DTE values reflect faster expected rotations, while longer DTE values reflect slower, choppier, or more uncertain conditions. The goal is to help avoid the common mistake of buying options that do not have enough time to work. A typical way to use this tool is to identify a clearly defined range, wait for price to reach the range low, note the DTE guidance shown on the chart, then wait for confirmation such as a reclaim of the range midpoint before considering a trade. Risk can then be managed with the range structure in mind, often targeting the range high in rotational environments. The indicator is most effective in sideways or mean-reverting markets rather than strong trends. This script does not place trades, predict direction, or guarantee outcomes. It does not account for news events, earnings, implied volatility changes, or broader macro conditions. It is intended as a contextual tool to support disciplined decision-making, not as a standalone trading system. Always trade smart. Manage position size, define risk before entering a trade, and avoid over-leveraging short-dated options. The objective is not to predict the market, but to consistently align price structure with realistic time expectations.

QUARTERS THEORY XAUUSDThe “Quarter Theory XAUUSD” indicator on TradingView is designed to automatically plot horizontal price levels in $25 increments on your chart, providing traders with a clear visual representation of key psychological and technical price points. These levels are particularly useful for instruments like XAU/USD, where price often reacts to round numbers, forming support and resistance zones that can be leveraged for both scalping and swing trading strategies. By showing all $25 increments as horizontal white lines, the indicator ensures that traders can quickly identify potential entry and exit points, without the need for manual drawing or repeated calculations. The indicator works by calculating the nearest $25 multiple relative to the current market price and then drawing horizontal lines across the chart for all increments within a defined range. This range can be customized to suit the instrument being traded; for example, for gold (XAU/USD), a typical range might extend from 0 to 5000, covering all practical price levels that could be relevant in both high and low market conditions. By using Pine Script’s persistent variables, the indicator efficiently creates these lines only once at the start of the chart, avoiding unnecessary resource usage and preventing TradingView from slowing down, which can happen if lines are redrawn every bar. From a trading perspective, these levels serve multiple purposes. For scalpers, the $25 increments act as micro support and resistance points, helping to determine short-term price reactions and potential breakout zones. Scalpers can use these levels to enter positions with tight stop-loss orders just beyond a level and take profits near the next $25 increment, which aligns with common price behavior patterns in highly liquid instruments. For swing traders, the same levels provide broader context, allowing them to identify areas where price might pause or reverse over several days. Swing traders can use these levels to align trades with the prevailing trend, particularly when combined with other indicators such as moving averages or trendlines. Another key advantage of the Quarterly Levels indicator is its simplicity and visual clarity. By plotting lines in a uniform white color and extending them to the right, the chart remains clean and easy to read, allowing traders to focus on price action and market dynamics rather than cluttered technical drawings. This visual consistency also helps in backtesting and strategy development, as traders can quickly see how price interacts with each level over time. Additionally, the use of round-number increments leverages the psychological tendencies of market participants, as many traders place stop orders or entry points near these levels, making them natural zones of interest. Overall, the Quarterly Levels indicator combines efficiency, clarity, and practical trading utility into a single tool. It streamlines chart analysis, highlights meaningful price zones, and supports both scalping and swing trading approaches, making it an essential addition to a trader’s toolkit. By understanding how to integrate these levels into trading strategies, traders can make more informed decisions, manage risk effectively, and identify high-probability trade setups across various market conditions.

Multi TF Volume ATRThis indicator measures volatility using ATR applied to volume across multiple timeframes. It helps identify when real momentum enters the market by showing volume spikes on 1h, 4h, 12h, and Daily charts. When several timeframes spike at the same time, it often signals strong moves, breakouts, or major shifts in volatility. The script calculates Volume ATR for 1h, 4h, 12h, and 1D. Each timeframe generates its own spike condition. The indicator then checks for alignment between timeframes. The 1h histogram changes color based on the strength of the signal. Red means multi timeframe alignment. This is the strongest signal and shows that several timeframes are spiking together. Yellow means a 1h spike only. This is an early warning of local volatility. Blue means no spike. The indicator also plots higher timeframe ATR lines for context. These include 4h ATR, 12h ATR, and 1D ATR. When these lines rise together, volatility is building. Spike markers appear at the top of the pane when higher timeframes trigger. You can choose how strict the alignment should be. Options include all three timeframes (1h, 4h, 12h), at least two timeframes, or including the daily timeframe for even stronger confirmation. The script includes alert conditions for 1h spikes, multi timeframe alignment spikes, and daily spikes. These alerts help you stay ahead of volatility without watching charts constantly. This indicator is useful for many trading styles. Breakout traders use red bars to confirm momentum. Mean reversion traders use daily spikes to confirm volatility conditions. Trend traders watch rising 4h and 12h ATR lines. Scalpers use yellow bars as early warnings. Volume ATR shows how quickly volume is expanding. When several timeframes spike together, it often signals institutional activity, liquidity events, volatility shifts, breakouts, or reversals. This provides information that price alone cannot show.

Crypto 1H [Universal - Strict + R:R]Overview This indicator is a trend-following strategy designed specifically for the 1-hour timeframe (though it works universally). It focuses on high-probability "pullback" entries within an established trend. What distinguishes this script from standard trend indicators is the integrated Risk:Reward (R:R) Pre-Filter. Before generating a signal, the script calculates the distance to the logical Stop Loss and the logical Take Profit (Resistance/Support). If the trade does not offer a minimum Risk-to-Reward ratio (default 1:2), the signal is suppressed. How It Works The strategy follows a strictly defined logical flow: 1. Trend Identification The script uses a Baseline EMA (Default: 50) to determine the trend. Long: Price is above the 50 EMA, and the 50 EMA is sloping up. Short: Price is below the 50 EMA, and the 50 EMA is sloping down. 2. The Pullback & Trigger Once a trend is identified, the script waits for price to pull back to the "Trigger" EMA (Default: 21). The Wait Window: The script utilizes a "Max Wait Bars" logic. Once the price touches the Trigger EMA, it listens for an entry signal for exactly 3 bars. If price lingers too long without reacting, the setup is invalidated to avoid chopping markets. 3. The Risk:Reward Filter (Crucial) This is the final gatekeeper. Even if the trend and candle shape are perfect, the script performs a geometric check: Stop Loss Calculation: Determined by the lowest low (for longs) or highest high (for shorts) of the last 5 bars, plus a small ATR buffer. Target Calculation: Determined by the highest high or lowest low of the last 24 bars (local Support/Resistance). The Math: If the distance to the Target is not at least 2.0x the distance to the Stop Loss, the trade is skipped. This prevents buying right into resistance or selling right into support. Indicator Features & Settings Session Filter: Defaults to London and NY sessions (UTC) to ensure volume is present. Volatility Filter: Requires the signal candle to have a minimum body size (0.15% of price) to avoid "doji" or low-momentum entries. Visuals: White Line: 50 EMA (Trend) Yellow Line: 21 EMA (Momentum Trigger) Labels: Green (Long) and Red (Short) entry markers. Red Crosses: These indicate exactly where the suggested Stop Loss was located at the moment of entry. Risk Disclaimer This tool is designed for educational and analytical purposes. The "Strict R:R" filter does not guarantee profit; it simply filters out setups that mathematically do not fit the specified ratio based on historical price action. Always perform your own analysis.
