Enigma UnlockedENIGMA Indicator: A Comprehensive Market Bias & Success Tracker
The ENIGMA Indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who aim to identify market bias, track price movements, and evaluate trade performance using multiple timeframes. It combines multiple indicators and advanced logic to provide real-time insights into market trends, helping traders make more informed decisions.
Key Features
1. Multi-Timeframe Bias Calculation:
The ENIGMA Indicator tracks the market bias across multiple timeframes—Daily (D), 4-Hour (H4), 1-Hour (H1), 30-Minute (30M), 15-Minute (15M), 5-Minute (5M), and 1-Minute (1M).
How the Bias is Created:
The Bias is a key feature of the ENIGMA Indicator and is determined by comparing the current price with previous price levels for each timeframe.
- Bullish Bias (1): The market is considered **bullish** if the **current closing price** is higher than the **previous timeframe’s high**. This suggests that the market is trending upwards, and buyers are in control.
- Bearish Bias (-1): The market is considered **bearish** if the **current closing price** is lower than the **previous timeframe’s low**. This suggests that the market is trending downwards, and sellers are in control.
- Neutral Bias (0): The market is considered **neutral** if the price is between the **previous high** and **previous low**, indicating indecision or a range-bound market.
This bias calculation is performed independently for each timeframe. The **Bias** for each timeframe is then displayed in the **Bias Table** on your chart, providing a clear view of market direction across multiple timeframes.
2. **Customizable Table Display:**
- The indicator provides a table that displays the bias for each selected timeframe, clearly marking whether the market is **Bullish**, **Bearish**, or **Neutral**.
- Users can choose where to place the table on the chart: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right, or center positions, allowing for easy and personalized chart management.
3. **Win/Loss Tracker:**
- The table also tracks the **success rate** of **buy** and **sell** trades based on price retests of key bias levels.
- For each period (Day, Week, Month), it tracks how often the price has moved in the direction of the initial bias, counting **Buy Wins**, **Sell Wins**, **Buy Losses**, and **Sell Losses**.
- This helps traders assess the effectiveness of the market bias over time and adjust their strategies accordingly.
#### **How the Success Calculation Determines the Success Rate:**
The **Success Calculation** is designed to track how often the price follows the direction of the market bias. It does this by evaluating how the price retests key levels associated with the identified market bias:
1. **Buy Success Calculation**:
- The success of a **Buy Trade** is determined when the price breaks above the **previous high** after a **bullish bias** has been identified.
- If the price continues to move higher (i.e., makes a new high) after breaking the previous high, the **buy trade is considered successful**.
- The indicator tracks how many times this condition is met and counts it as a **Buy Win**.
2. **Sell Success Calculation**:
- The success of a **Sell Trade** is determined when the price breaks below the **previous low** after a **bearish bias** has been identified.
- If the price continues to move lower (i.e., makes a new low) after breaking the previous low, the **sell trade is considered successful**.
- The indicator tracks how many times this condition is met and counts it as a **Sell Win**.
3. **Failure Calculations**:
- If the price does not move as expected (i.e., it does not continue in the direction of the identified bias), the trade is considered a **loss** and is tracked as **Buy Loss** or **Sell Loss**, depending on whether it was a bullish or bearish trade.
The ENIGMA Indicator keeps a running tally of **Buy Wins**, **Sell Wins**, **Buy Losses**, and **Sell Losses** over a set period (which can be customized to Days, Weeks, or Months). These statistics are updated dynamically in the **Bias Table**, allowing you to track your success rate in real-time and gain insights into the effectiveness of the market bias.
#### **Customizable Period Tracking:**
- The ENIGMA Indicator allows you to set custom tracking periods (e.g., 30 days, 2 weeks, etc.). The performance metrics reset after each tracking period, helping you monitor your success in different market conditions.
5. **Interactive Settings:**
- **Lookback Period**: Define how many bars the indicator should consider for bias calculations.
- **Success Tracking**: Set the number of candles to track for calculating the win/loss performance.
- **Time Threshold**: Set a time threshold to help define the period during which price retests are considered valid.
- **Info Tooltip**: You can enable the information tool in the settings to view detailed explanations of how wins and losses are calculated, ensuring you understand how the indicator works and how the results are derived.
#### **How to Use the ENIGMA Indicator:**
1. **Install the Indicator**:
- Add the ENIGMA Indicator to your chart. It will automatically calculate and display the bias for multiple timeframes.
2. **Interpret the Bias Table**:
- The bias table will show whether the market is **Bullish**, **Bearish**, or **Neutral** across different timeframes.
- Look for alignment between the timeframes—when multiple timeframes show the same bias, it may indicate a stronger trend.
3. **Use the Win/Loss Tracker**:
- Track how well your trades align with the bias using the **Win/Loss Tracker**. This helps you refine your strategy by understanding which timeframes and biases lead to higher success rates.
- For example, if you see a high number of **Buy Wins** and a low number of **Sell Wins**, you may decide to focus more on buying during bullish trends and avoid selling during bearish retracements.
4. **Track Your Period Performance**:
- The indicator will automatically track your performance over the set period (Days, Weeks, Months). Use this data to adjust your approach and evaluate the effectiveness of your trading strategy.
5. **Position the Table**:
- Customize the placement of the table on your chart based on your preferences. You can choose from options like **Top Left**, **Top Right**, **Bottom Left**, **Bottom Right**, or **Center** to keep the chart uncluttered.
6. **Adjust Settings**:
- Modify the indicator settings according to your trading style. You can adjust the **Lookback Period**, **Number of Candles to Track**, and **Time Threshold** to match the pace of your trading.
7. **Use the Info Tooltip**:
- Enable the **Info Tool** in the settings to understand how the Buy/Sell Wins and Losses are calculated. The tooltip provides a breakdown of how the indicator tracks price movements and calculates the success rate.
**Conclusion:**
The **ENIGMA Indicator** is designed to help traders make informed decisions by providing a clear view of the market bias and performance data. With the ability to track bias across multiple timeframes and evaluate your trading success, it can be a powerful tool for refining your trading strategies.
Whether you're looking to focus on a single timeframe or analyze multiple timeframes for a stronger bias, the ENIGMA Indicator adapts to your needs, providing both real-time market insights and performance feedback.

Wick Highlight IndicatorDescription:
This script is designed to help traders quickly spot significant wicks, which indicate areas of strong market rejection. By focusing on longer wicks, it identifies potential turning points where there was a strong buying or selling reaction.
Features:
Adjustable Minimum Wick Length: Users can set the minimum length of wicks to be highlighted, helping filter out less significant wicks. Default is set at 50 points.
Seller and Buyer Wick Analysis: Highlights both the top (seller pressure) and bottom (buyer pressure) wicks separately, giving a clearer view of market strength and rejection.
Non-Intrusive Display: Wicks are highlighted in black at 10% opacity, providing clear visual markers while keeping the chart clean and readable.
How to Use It: This indicator is open-source and free for all users. It aims to identify wicks that are larger than the average noise, which often indicates strong price rejections or future targets. You can adjust the minimum length to tailor the indicator to different market conditions and trading styles.
Why It Matters: Wicks often signify moments when price levels were rejected strongly, pointing to areas of potential support or resistance. By focusing only on significant wicks, this indicator helps you hone in on potential key levels of interest without overwhelming the chart with less important data. This can be particularly useful in spotting reversals or market exhaustion.
No other indicators are required, and the chart is kept clean for clarity and ease of understanding.
Notes:
This is an open-source script, and no solicitations or ads are included.
The indicator is intended to highlight significant wicks only and does not issue any buy/sell signals.
It is compliant with TradingView's publishing rules, focusing on transparency, clarity, and adding value to the community.
Support and Resistance Signals MTF [LuxAlgo]The Support and Resistance Signals MTF indicator aims to identify undoubtedly one of the key concepts of technical analysis Support and Resistance Levels and more importantly, the script aims to capture and highlight major price action movements, such as Breakouts , Tests of the Zones , Retests of the Zones , and Rejections .
The script supports Multi-TimeFrame (MTF) functionality allowing users to analyze and observe the Support and Resistance Levels/Zones and their associated Signals from a higher timeframe perspective.
This script is an extended version of our previously published Support-and-Resistance-Levels-with-Breaks script from 2020.
Identification of key support and resistance levels/zones is an essential ingredient to successful technical analysis.
🔶 USAGE
Support and resistance are key concepts that help traders understand, analyze and act on chart patterns in the financial markets. Support describes a price level where a downtrend pauses due to demand for an asset increasing, while resistance refers to a level where an uptrend reverses as a sell-off happens.
The creation of support and resistance levels comes as a result of an initial imbalance of supply/demand, which forms what we know as a swing high or swing low. This script starts its processing using the swing highs/lows. Swing Highs/Lows are levels that many of the market participants use as a historical reference to place their trading orders (buy, sell, stop loss), as a result, those price levels potentially become and serve as key support and resistance levels.
One of the important features of the script is the signals it provides. The script follows the major price movements and highlights them on the chart.
🔹 Breakouts (non-repaint)
A breakout is a price moving outside a defined support or resistance level, the significance of the breakout can be measured by examining the volume. This script is not filtering them based on volume but provides volume information for the bar where the breakout takes place.
🔹 Retests
Retest is a case where the price action breaches a zone and then revisits the level breached.
🔹 Tests
Test is a case where the price action touches the support or resistance zones.
🔹 Rejections
Rejections are pin bar patterns with high trading volume.
Finally, Multi TimeFrame (MTF) functionality allows users to analyze and observe the Support and Resistance Levels/Zones and their associated Signals from a higher timeframe perspective.
🔶 SETTINGS
The script takes into account user-defined parameters to detect and highlight the zones, levels, and signals.
🔹 Support & Resistance Settings
Detection Timeframe: Set the indicator resolution, the users may examine higher timeframe detection on their chart timeframe.
Detection Length: Swing levels detection length
Check Previous Historical S&R Level: enables the script to check the previous historical levels.
🔹 Signals
Breakouts: Toggles the visibility of the Breakouts, enables customization of the color and the size of the visuals
Tests: Toggles the visibility of the Tests, enables customization of the color and the size of the visuals
Retests: Toggles the visibility of the Retests, enables customization of the color and the size of the visuals

Simple Grid Lines VisualizerAbout Grid Bots
A grid bot is a type of trading bot or algorithm that is designed to automatically execute trades within a predefined price range or grid. It is commonly used in markets that exhibit ranging or sideways movement, where prices tend to fluctuate within a specific range without a clear trend.
The grid bot strategy involves placing a series of buy and sell orders at regular intervals within the predefined price range or grid. The bot essentially creates a grid of orders, hence the name. When the price reaches one of these levels, the bot will execute the corresponding trade. For example, if the price reaches a predefined lower level, the bot will buy, and if it reaches a predefined upper level, it will sell.
The purpose of the grid bot strategy is to take advantage of the price oscillations within the range. As the price moves up and down, the bot aims to generate profits by buying at the lower end of the range and selling at the higher end. By repeatedly buying and selling at these predetermined levels, the bot attempts to capture gains from the price fluctuations.
About this Script
Simple Grid Lines Visualizer is designed to assist traders in visualizing and implementing automated price grids on their charts. With just a few inputs, this script generates gridlines based on your specified top price, bottom price, and the number of grids or profit per grid.
How it Works:
Specify Top and Bottom Prices: Start by setting the top and bottom prices that define the range within which the gridlines will be generated. These prices can be based on support and resistance levels, historical data, or any other factors you consider relevant to your analysis.
Determine Grid Parameters: Choose either the number of grids or profit per grid, depending on your preference and trading strategy. If you select the number of grids, the script will evenly distribute the gridlines within the specified price range. Alternatively, if you opt for profit per grid, the script will calculate the price increment required to achieve your desired profit level per grid.
Note that when choosing Profit per Grid , an approximation usually is performed, as all grid lines must be evenly distributed. To achieve that, the script computes the grid distance using the mean price between top and bottom, then computes how many of those complete distances may enter the entire range, and lastly, creates a grid with evenly distributed distances as close as possible to the previously computed.
Customize Styling and Display: Adjust the line color, line style, transparency, and other visual aspects to ensure clear visibility on your charts.
Analyze and Trade: Once the gridlines are plotted on your chart, carefully observe how the market interacts with them. The gridlines can act as reference points for potential support and resistance levels, as well as simple buy/sell orders for a trading bot.
Try to find gridlines that intersect prices as frequently as possible from one to another.
A grid with too many lines will make lots of potential trades, but the amount traded will be minimal (as the total amount invested is divided over the number of grids).
A grid with too few lines will make lots of profits with each trade, but the trades will be less likely to occur (depending on the top/bottom distance).
This tool aims to help visually which grid parameters seem to optimize this problem.
Future versions may include automatic profit computation.
Reversal Signals [LuxAlgo]The Reversal Signals indicator is a technical analysis tool that aims to identify when a trend is fading and potentially starting to reverse.
As a counter-trend tool, the Reversal Signals indicator aims to solve the problem of several technical analysis indicators that perform well during trending markets but struggle in ranging markets. By understanding the key concepts and applications of the tool, traders can enhance their market timing and improve their trading strategies.
Note: It's important to explore the settings of the indicator to customize to your own usage & display as there are various options available as covered below.
🔶 USAGE
The Reversal Signals indicator is comprised of two main phases: Momentum Phase and Trend Exhaustion Phase . These phases help identify potential trend reversals in bullish, bearish, and ranging markets.
🔹The Momentum Phase
The momentum phase consists of a 9-candle count and in rare cases 8-candle count. In a bullish trend, a starting number ‘1’ is plotted if a candle closes higher than the close of a candle four periods ago. In a bearish trend, a starting number ‘1’ is plotted if a candle closes lower than the close of a candle four periods ago.
The following numbers are plotted when each successive candle satisfies the four-period rule. The potential reversal point comes when the Reversal Signals plot a label on top of a candle in a bullish trend or at the bottom of a candle in a bearish trend. The momentum phase is immediately canceled if, at any point, a candle fails to satisfy the four-period rule.
Based on the extremes of the momentum phase, the Reversal Signals generate support & resistance levels as well as risk/stop levels.
🔹 The Trend Exhaustion Phase
The trend exhaustion phase starts after completing the momentum phase and consists of a 13-candle count. In a bullish trend exhaustion phase, each candle’s close is compared to the close of two candles earlier, and the close must be greater than the close two periods earlier. In a bearish trend exhaustion phase, each candle’s close is compared to the close of two candles earlier, and the close must be lower than the close two periods earlier.
The trend exhaustion phase does not require a consecutive sequence of candles; if the order of candles is interrupted, the trend exhaustion phase is not canceled. The trend exhaustion phase generates stronger trading signals than the momentum phase, with the potential for longer-lasting price reversals.
🔹 Trading Signals
The Reversal Signals script presents an overall setup and some phase-specific trade setup options, where probable trades might be considered. All phase-specific trade setups, presented as options, are triggered once the selected phase is completed and followed by a price flip in the direction of the trade setup.
Please note that those setups are presented for educational purposes only and do not constitutes professional and/or financial advice
- Momentum: Enter a trade at momentum phase completion, and search for buy (sell) when the bullish (bearish) momentum phase pattern is complete. Ideally, the momentum phase completion should close near its support/resistance line but shall not be above them, which indicates continuation of the trend
- Exhaustion: Enter a trade on trend exhaustion phase completion, and search for buy (sell) when the bullish (bearish) trend exhaustion phase is complete
- Qualified: Buy (sell) when a bullish (bearish) trend exhaustion phase combined with another bullish (bearish) momentum phase sequence is complete
Long trade setups are presented with "L" label and short trade setups with "S" label, where the content of the label displays details related to the probable trade opportunity
Once a phase-specific trade setup is triggered then the Reversal Signals script keeps checking the status of the price action relative to the phase-specific trade setups and in case something goes wrong presents a caution label. Pay attention to the content of the caution labels as well as where they appear. A trade signal, followed immediately by a warning indication can be assumed as a continuation of the underlying trend and can be traded in the opposite direction of the suggested signal
It is strongly advised to confirm trading setups in conjunction with other forms of technical and fundamental analysis, including technical indicators, chart/candlestick pattern analysis, etc.
🔶 DETAILS
The Reversal Signals script performs the detection of the phases by counting the candlestick meeting the specific conditions, which includes:
- Detection of the 8th and 9th candle perfection during the momentum phase
- In some cases, the 8th count will be assumed as momentum phase completion
- Trend exhaustion phase counting stops in case any type of momentum phase completion is detected during the counting process
- Postponing the last count of the trend exhaustion phase, the 13th candle must be below/above the 8th candle and if not the candles will be indicated with '+' sign under them and the script continues to search for a 13th candle at the next ones until the conditions are met
🔶 ALERTS
When an alert is configured, the user will have the ability to be notified in case;
Momentum / Trend Exhaustion phase completion
Support & Resistance level cross detection
Stop / Risk level cross detection
Long / Short Trade Setups are triggered
Please note, alerts are available with 'any alert() function call' and the alerts will be received only for the features that are enabled during alert configuration

Directional Volume EStimate from Price Action (RedK D_VESPA)The "Directional Volume EStimate from Price Action (RedK D_VESPA)" is another weapon for the VPA (Volume Price Analysis) enthusiasts and traders who like to include volume-based insights & signals to their trading. The basic concept is to estimate the sell and buy split of the traded volume by extrapolating the price action represented by the shape of the associated price bar. We then create and plot an average of these "estimated buy & sell volumes" - the estimated average Net Volume is the balance between these 2 averages.
D_VESPA uses clear visualizations to represent the outcomes in a less distracting and more actionable way.
How does D_VESPA work?
-------------------------------------
The key assumption is that when price moves up, this is caused by "buy" volume (or increasing demand), and when the price moves down, this is due to "selling" volume (or increasing supply). Important to note that we are making our Buy/sell volume estimates here based on the shape of the price bar, and not looking into lower time frame volume data - This is a different approach and is still aligned to the key concepts of VPA.
Originally this work started as an improvement to my Supply/Demand Volume Viewer (V.Viewer) , I ended up re-writing the whole thing after some more research and work on VPA, to improve the estimation, visualization and usability / tradability.
Think of D_VESPA as the "Pro" version of V.Viewer -- and please go back and review the details of V.Viewer as the root concepts are the same so I won't repeat them here (as it comes to exploring Balance Zone and finding Price Convergence/Divergence)
Main Features of D_VESPA
--------------------------------------
- Update Supply/Demand calculation to include 2-bar gaps (improved algo)
- Add multiple options for the moving average (MA type) for the calculation - my preference is to use WMA
- Add option to show Net Volume as 3-color bars
- Visual simplification and improvements to be less distracting & more actionable
- added options to display/hide main visuals while maintaining the status line consistency (Avg Supply, Avg Demand, Avg Net)
- add alerts for NetVol moving into Buy (crosses 0 up) or Sell (crosses 0 down) modes - or swing from one mode to the other
(there are actually 2 sets of alerts, one set for the main NetVol plot, and the other for the secondary TF NetVol - give user more options on how to utilize D_VESPA)
Quick techie piece, how does the estimated buy/sell volume algo work ?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* per our assumption, buy volume is associated with price up-moves, sell volume is associated with price down-moves
* so each of the bulls and bears will get the equivalent of the top & bottom wicks,
* for up bars, bulls get the value of the "body", else the bears get the "body"
* open gaps are allocated to bulls or bears depending on the gap direction
The below sketch explains how D_VESPA estimates the Buy/Sell Volume split based on the bar shape (including gap) - the example shows a bullish bar with an opening gap up - but the concept is the same for a down-bar or a down-gap.
I kept both the "Volume Weighted" and "2-bar Gap Impact" as options in the indicator settings - these 2 options should be always kept selected. They are there for those who would like to experiment with the difference these changes have on the buy/sell estimation. The indicator will handle cases where there is no volume data for the selected symbol, and in that case, it will simply reflect Average Estimated Bull/Bear ratio of the price bar
The Secondary TF Est Average Net Volume:
---------------------------------------------------------
I added the ability to plot the Estimate Average Net Volume for a secondary timeframe - options 1W, 1D, 1H, or Same as Chart.
- this feature provides traders the confidence to trade the lower timeframes in the same direction as the prevailing "market mode"
- this also adds more MTF support beyond the existing TradingView's built-in MTF support capability - experiment with various settings between exposing the indicator's secondary TF plot, and changing the TF option in the indicator settings.
Note on the secondary TF NetVol plot:
- the secondary TF needs to be set to same as or higher TF than the chart's TF - if not, a warning sign would show and the plot will not be enabled. for example, a day trader may set the secondary TF to 1Hr or 1Day, while looking at 5min or 15min chart. A swing/trend trader who frequently uses the daily chart may set the secondary TF to weekly, and so on..
- the secondary TF NetVol plot is hidden by default and needs to be exposed thru the indicator settings.
the below chart shows D_VESPA on a the same (daily) chart, but with secondary TF plot for the weekly TF enabled
Final Thoughts
-------------------
* RedK D_VESPA is a volume indicator, that estimates buy/sell and net volume averages based on the price action reflected by the shape of the price bars - this can provide more insight on volume compared to the classic volume/VolAverage indicator and assist traders in exploring the market mode (buyers/sellers - bullish/bearish) and align trades to it.
* Because D_VESPA is a volume indicator, it can't be used alone to generate a trading signal - and needs to be combined with other indicators that analysis price value (range), momentum and trend. I recommend to at least combine D_VESPA with a variant of MACD and RSI to get a full view of the price action relative to the prevailing market and the broader trend.
* I found it very useful to take note and "read" how the Est Buy vs Est Sell lines move .. they sort of "tell a story" - experiment with this on your various chart and note the levels of estimate avg demand vs estimate avg supply that this indicator exposes for some very valuable insight about how the chart action is progressing. Please feel free to share feedback below.
LowHighFinderThis chart display how value change of (low,high,close,open) is considered as a factor for buying or selling. Each element take same weight when consider the final price. The price change over a certain threshold would be the decision point (buy/sell)
Factors considered in this chart
1.Quotes: High,low,close,open,volume. If one of them higher than previous day, then it increase, otherwise decreases.
2. Multipler: If you think one quote is more important than other (High more important than close, you can set multipler higher)
3. EMA smoother: It is using to balance the price effect. Like if price increased dramatically, EMA would notify whether could be a good time to sell. (Because high deviation between MA and price suggest price increase too fast)
4. Length of line: set length of line for you need
5. Percentage change: how much percentage change is considered a significant change? 5%? or 10%? In which case should it count toward the final indicator? Adjust percentage change needed, smaller for minutes chart (less than 10) higher for hours chart (10-20), even higher for day chart
Buy/Sell method:
1. When green dot appears, wait after price start to get close to moving average to find the low point and buy.
2. Reverse for red dot.
VWAP From Multiple Sources With Cloud & Percentage GapVWAP CLOUD FROM CLOSE, OPEN, HIGH & LOW SOURCES WITH CLOUD & PERCENTAGE GAP
VWAP stands for volume weighted average price and shows the average price of buys/sells based on volume traded across the current session. This VWAP is based off of the Daily session.
***HOW TO USE***
Use the purple cloud between the VWAPs as your entry points as price will typically bounce from that cloud area.
The Yellow Line is the VWAP using the close price as a source.
The Green Line is the VWAP using the open price as a source.
The Blue Line is the VWAP using the high price as a source.
The Purple Line is the VWAP using the low price as a source.
When price is above the VWAP cloud, the background will paint green because the trend is bullish.
When price is below the VWAP cloud, the background will paint red because the trend is bearish.
In the bottom right hand corner, three is a table that will show you the current percentage gap between current price and the VWAP using close as the source.
All sources and colors can be easily switched in the settings menu.
***MARKETS***
This indicator can be used as a signal on all markets, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex.
***TIMEFRAMES***
This vwap indicator can be used on all timeframes but is calculated using the daily session.
***TIPS***
Try using numerous indicators of ours on your chart so you can instantly see the bullish or bearish trend of multiple indicators in real time without having to analyze the data. Some of our favorites are our Auto Fibonacci, Volume Profile, Directional Movement Index, Momentum, Auto Support And Resistance and Money Flow Index in combination with this VWAP Cloud. The other indicators all have real time Bullish and Bearish labels as well so you can immediately understand each indicator's trend.
Moon Phases Strategy [LuxAlgo]Trading moon phases has become quite popular among traders, believing that there exists a relationship between moon phases and market movements. This strategy is based on an estimate of moon phases with the possibility to use different methods to determine long/short positions based on moon phases.
Note that we assume moon phases are perfectly periodic with a cycle of 29.530588853 days (which is not realistically the case), as such there exists a difference between the detected moon phases by the strategy and the ones you would see. This difference becomes less important when using higher timeframes.
Settings
New Moon Reference Date: Date of a new moon to be used as starting point for the cycle calculation. Buy: Determine the condition to be used to open a long position Sell: Determine the condition to be used to open a short position
Description
The strategy can use different buy/sell conditions, these are determined in the Buy/Sell settings drop-down menu.
By default, the strategy goes long on a new moon and short on a full moon. This setup is common since full moons are said to be related to depressed mood. However, it is possible to use inverse conditions.
Users can also go long on higher moons (new moons or full moons occurring at a price that is higher than the previous one when a new/full moon occurred) and short on lower moons, this would return a trend following strategy, using the inverse conditions (buy lower moons/sell higher moons) would return a contrarian strategy.
The above chart displays the strategy using default conditions.
The above chart displays the strategy of going long on a higher moon and selling on a lower moon.
Quick Summary
We provide a quick summary of the strategy using default conditions (buy on a new moon, sell on a full moon) on various tickers using the 4h timeframe (note that using a lower timeframe would return a backtest executing a lower number of trades).
Constant position sizing is used and no frictional costs are considered.

Market Delta Volume for Realtime BarsWhat is it?
Market Delta Volume Tool for real-time bars
A market delta tool that shows, (1) the volume that got transacted on upticks - or the market buy volume; (2) the volume that got transacted on downticks - or the market sell volume (3) the market delta volume (i.e., market buy volume - market sell volume); (4) the total volume (market buy volume + market sell volume + neutral volume); and (4) the volume that got transacted without a change in price - or the neutral volume (total volume = market buy volume + market sell volume + neutral volume)
NOTE: THIS WORKS ONLY ON REAL-TIME BARS, NOT ON HISTORICAL BARS! The dotted line marks the start of real-time data (i.e., the bar from which the indicator started collecting and displaying data). You will see accurate data only for bars to the right of this line.
The longer you keep a chart open with the study enabled, the more data it collects and displays and the better your analysis can potentially be.
Note that the data gets reset every time any of the options is changed, the market is switched, the browser is refreshed, or the script is reloaded.
DATA ISN'T STORED. I.e., every time a new symbol is loaded/or the same symbol is reloaded, data gets refreshed.
Who is it for?
For traders who are used to analyzing buy/sell activity using market delta information. Especially, short-term trader/scalpers who are used to keeping the same chart open through the trading session.
Also for traders to see and study how anomalies in volume can give clues to buyer/seller absorption, initiative buying/selling etc.
Can be used to better understand VSA as well, although not necessary.
Essentially, this gives real-time delta volume information; use it however you see fit.
CryptoSignalScanner - MACD Multiple Time FramesDESCRIPTION:
After receiving some multiple request to provide a MACD indicator that displays multiple timeframes at the same time I created this simple script.
You can use this script for free and adjust it as much you like.
With this script you can plot 6 MACD lines & 6 Signal lines.
• Current Timeframe MACD Line
• Current Timeframe Signal Line
• 15 minute candle MACD Line
• 15 minute candle Signal Line
• 30 minute candle MACD Line
• 30 minute candle Signal Line
• 1 hour candle MACD Line
• 1 hour candle Signal Line
• 2 hour candle MACD Line
• 2 hour candle Signal Line
• 4 hour candle MACD Line
• 4 hour candle Signal Line
HOW TO USE:
• When multiple MACD lines on an uptrend are grouped together it is time to SELL.
• When multiple MACD lines on a downtrend are grouped together it is time to BUY.
• The higher to length of the MACD lines the stronger the BUY/SELL signal.
FEATURES:
• You can show/hide the preferred MACD lines.
• You can show/hide the preferred Signal lines.
How MACD works
The MACD indicator is generated by subtracting two exponential moving averages (EMAs) to create the main line (MACD line), which is then used to calculate another EMA that represents the signal line. In addition, there is the MACD histogram, which is calculated based on the differences between those two lines. The histogram, along with the other two lines, fluctuates above and below a center line, which is also known as the zero line.
The MACD indicator consists of three elements moving around the zero line:
• The MACD line. By default the MACD line is calculated by subtracting the 26-day EMA from the 12-day EMA.
MACD line = 12d EMA - 26d EMA
• The signal line. By default the signal line is calculated from a 9-day EMA of the MACD line.
Signal line = 9d EMA of MACD line
• Histogram. The histogram is nothing more than a visual record of the relative movements of the MACD line and the signal line.
It is simply calculated as: MACD line - signal line

XPloRR MA-Trailing-Stop StrategyXPloRR MA-Trailing-Stop Strategy
Long term MA-Trailing-Stop strategy with Adjustable Signal Strength to beat Buy&Hold strategy
None of the strategies that I tested can beat the long term Buy&Hold strategy. That's the reason why I wrote this strategy.
Purpose: beat Buy&Hold strategy with around 10 trades. 100% capitalize sold trade into new trade.
My buy strategy is triggered by the fast buy EMA (blue) crossing over the slow buy SMA curve (orange) and the fast buy EMA has a certain up strength.
My sell strategy is triggered by either one of these conditions:
the EMA(6) of the close value is crossing under the trailing stop value (green) or
the fast sell EMA (navy) is crossing under the slow sell SMA curve (red) and the fast sell EMA has a certain down strength.
The trailing stop value (green) is set to a multiple of the ATR(15) value.
ATR(15) is the SMA(15) value of the difference between the high and low values.
The scripts shows a lot of graphical information:
The close value is shown in light-green. When the close value is lower then the buy value, the close value is shown in light-red. This way it is possible to evaluate the virtual losses during the trade.
the trailing stop value is shown in dark-green. When the sell value is lower then the buy value, the last color of the trade will be red (best viewed when zoomed)(in the example, there are 2 trades that end in gain and 2 in loss (red line at end))
the EMA and SMA values for both buy and sell signals are shown as a line
the buy and sell(close) signals are labeled in blue
How to use this strategy?
Every stock has it's own "DNA", so first thing to do is tune the right parameters to get the best strategy values voor EMA , SMA, Strength for both buy and sell and the Trailing Stop (#ATR).
Look in the strategy tester overview to optimize the values Percent Profitable and Net Profit (using the strategy settings icon, you can increase/decrease the parameters)
Then keep using these parameters for future buy/sell signals only for that particular stock.
Do the same for other stocks.
Important : optimizing these parameters is no guarantee for future winning trades!
Here are the parameters:
Fast EMA Buy: buy trigger when Fast EMA Buy crosses over the Slow SMA Buy value (use values between 10-20)
Slow SMA Buy: buy trigger when Fast EMA Buy crosses over the Slow SMA Buy value (use values between 30-100)
Minimum Buy Strength: minimum upward trend value of the Fast SMA Buy value (directional coefficient)(use values between 0-120)
Fast EMA Sell: sell trigger when Fast EMA Sell crosses under the Slow SMA Sell value (use values between 10-20)
Slow SMA Sell: sell trigger when Fast EMA Sell crosses under the Slow SMA Sell value (use values between 30-100)
Minimum Sell Strength: minimum downward trend value of the Fast SMA Sell value (directional coefficient)(use values between 0-120)
Trailing Stop (#ATR): the trailing stop value as a multiple of the ATR(15) value (use values between 2-20)
Example parameters for different stocks (Start capital: 1000, Order=100% of equity, Period 1/1/2005 to now) compared to the Buy&Hold Strategy(=do nothing):

MACD Swing Trader MACD Swing Trader
Overview
The MACD Swing Trader is a Pine Script v5 indicator designed for swing trading on the BTC/USDT pair, optimized for 4-hour or daily timeframes. Built on the classic MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator, it incorporates a 200-period EMA trend filter and a unique feature to prevent consecutive Buy or Sell signals, ensuring cleaner and more reliable trade setups. This indicator is ideal for traders seeking high-probability entries and exits in the volatile crypto market, with a backtested win rate of approximately 80-87% on historical BTC/USDT data.
Features
MACD-Based Signals: Generates Buy signals on MACD line crossovers above the signal line (below zero) and Sell signals on crossunders (above zero), capturing momentum shifts.
EMA 200 Trend Filter: Only triggers Buy signals in uptrends (price > EMA 200) and Sell signals in downtrends (price < EMA 200), aligning trades with the broader market direction.
No Consecutive Signals: Prevents repetitive signals (e.g., no back-to-back Buy signals) until an opposite signal occurs, reducing noise and improving signal quality.
Visual Aids: Displays the EMA 200 line, color-coded trend background (green for uptrend, red for downtrend), and clear Buy/Sell labels on the chart.
Customizable Parameters: Adjustable MACD lengths (default: 12, 26, 9) and EMA length (default: 200) for fine-tuning to different market conditions.
Alerts: Built-in alert conditions for real-time notifications on Buy/Sell signals, compatible with TradingView's alert system.
Separate MACD Panel: Visualizes MACD and signal lines with a zero line for additional analysis.
How to Use
Setup: Add the indicator to TradingView by copying the Pine Script code into the Pine Editor and applying it to the BTC/USDT chart (recommended: 4h or daily timeframe).
Entry Rules:
Buy: Green "BUY" label appears below the price bar when MACD crosses above the signal line, MACD is below zero, and price is above EMA 200.
Sell: Red "SELL" label appears above the price bar when MACD crosses below the signal line, MACD is above zero, and price is below EMA 200.
Exit Rules: Use a trailing stop (e.g., ATR-based) or exit on the opposite signal. Aim for a risk-to-reward ratio of 2:1 or 3:1.
Backtesting: Validate performance using TradingView’s Strategy Tester. Historical backtests suggest a win rate of ~80-87% on BTC/USDT 4h, though results may vary.
Risk Management: Always use proper risk management (e.g., 1-3% risk per trade) and test thoroughly before live trading.
Notes
Market Specificity: Optimized for BTC/USDT due to its volatility and trending nature. Test on other pairs before use.
Customization: Adjust MACD or EMA parameters for different timeframes or assets. Consider adding volume filters for enhanced accuracy.
Risk Warning: Trading cryptocurrencies involves significant risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Only risk capital you can afford to lose.

Liquidity Pro Map [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
Liquidity Pro Map is a market-structure tool that simulates liquidity distribution by splitting price history into buy-side and sell-side profiles. Using candle volume and the standard deviation of close, the indicator builds two mirrored volume maps on the right-hand side of the chart. It also extends liquidity levels backwards in time until they are crossed by price, allowing you to see which zones remain untouched and where liquidity is most likely resting. Cumulative skew lines and highlighted POC levels give additional clarity on imbalance between buyers and sellers.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Dual Liquidity Profiles: The chart is divided into buy-side (green) and sell-side (red) liquidity profiles, letting you instantly compare both sides of order flow.
Level Extension Logic: Each liquidity level is extended back in time until price crosses it. If not crossed, it persists all the way to the indicator’s lookback period, marking zones that remain “untapped.”
Dynamic Binning with Standard Deviation: The indicator distributes candle volumes into bins using close-price deviation, creating a more realistic liquidity map than static price levels.
priceDeviation = ta.stdev(close, 25) * 2
priceReference = close > open ? low - priceDeviation : high + priceDeviation
Cumulative Volume Skew Lines: Polylines on the right-hand side show the aggregated buy and sell volume profiles, making it easy to spot imbalance.
POC Identification: Highest-volume levels on both sides are marked as POC (Point of Control) , providing key zones of interest.
Clear Color Coding: Gradient shading intensifies with volume concentration—dark teal/green for buy zones, dark pink/red for sell zones.
⯁ HOW IT WORKS (UNDER THE HOOD)
Volume Distribution: Each bar’s volume is assigned to a price bin based on its reference price (close ± standard deviation offset).
Buy vs. Sell Splitting: If bins above last close price, volume is allocated to sell-side liquidity; otherwise, it’s allocated to buy-side liquidity.
Level Extension: Boxes marking liquidity bins extend back until crossed by price. If uncrossed, they anchor all the way to the start of the lookback window.
Cumulative Polylines: As bins are stacked, cumulative buy and sell values form skew polylines plotted at the right edge.
POC Levels: The highest-volume bin on each side is highlighted with labels and arrows, marking where the heaviest liquidity is concentrated.
⯁ USAGE
Use buy/sell profiles to see where liquidity is likely resting. Green shelves suggest potential support zones; red shelves suggest resistance or sell liquidity pools.
Watch untouched extended levels —these often become magnets for price as liquidity is swept.
Track POC levels as primary liquidity targets, where reactions or fakeouts are most common.
Compare cumulative skew lines to judge which side dominates in volume. Heavy buy skew may indicate absorption of sell pressure, and vice versa.
Adjust lookback period to switch between intraday liquidity maps and larger swing-based profiles.
Use separator feature to hide bins borders for better visual clarity.
Use as a confluence tool with OBs, support/resistance, and liquidity sweep setups.
⯁ CONCLUSION
Liquidity Pro Map transforms candle volume into a structured simulation of where liquidity may rest across the chart. By dividing buy vs. sell profiles, extending untouched levels, and marking cumulative skew and POC, it equips traders with a clear visual map of potential liquidity pools. This allows for better anticipation of sweeps, reversals, and areas of high market activity.
Volume Delta Oscillator with Divergence█ OVERVIEW
The Volume Delta Oscillator with Divergence is a technical indicator designed for the TradingView platform, helping traders identify potential trend reversal points and market momentum shifts through volume delta analysis and divergence detection. The indicator combines a smoothed volume delta oscillator with moving average-based signals, overbought/oversold levels, and divergence visualization, enhanced by configurable gradients and alerts for quick decision-making.
█ CONCEPT
The core idea of the indicator is to measure net buying or selling pressure through volume delta, smooth it for greater clarity, and detect divergences between price action and the oscillator. The indicator does not use external data, making it a compromise but practical tool for analyzing market dynamics based on available price and volume data. It provides insights into market dynamics, overbought/oversold conditions, and potential reversal points, with an attractive visual presentation.
█ WHY USE IT?
- Divergence detection: Identifies bullish and bearish divergences between price and the oscillator, signaling potential reversals.
- Volume delta analysis: Measures cumulative volume delta to assess buying/selling pressure, expressed as a percentage for cross-market comparability.
- Signal generation: Creates buy/sell signals based on overbought/oversold level crossovers, zero line crossovers, and moving average zero line crossovers.
- Visual clarity: Uses gradients, fills, and dynamic colors for intuitive chart analysis.
- Flexibility: Numerous settings allow adaptation to various markets (e.g., forex, crypto, stocks) and trading strategies.
█ HOW IT WORKS?
- Volume delta calculation: Computes net buying/selling pressure per candle as volume * (close - open) / (high - low), aggregated over a specified period (Cumulative Delta Length).
- Smoothing: Applies an EMA (Smoothing Length) to the cumulative delta percentage, creating a smoother oscillator (Delta Oscillator).
- Moving Average: Calculates an SMA (Moving Average Length) of the smoothed delta for trend confirmation (Moving Average (SMA)).
- Divergence detection: Identifies bullish and bearish divergences by comparing price and oscillator pivot highs/lows within a specified range (Pivot Length).
- Normalization: Delta is expressed as a percentage of total volume, ensuring consistency across instruments and timeframes.
- Signals: Generates signals for:
Crossing the oversold level upward (buy) or overbought level downward (sell).
Crossing the zero line by the oscillator or moving average (buy/sell).
Bullish/bearish divergences, marked with labels.
- Visualization: Draws the oscillator and moving average with dynamic colors, gradient fills, and transparent bands and labels, with configurable overbought/oversold levels.
- Alerts: Built-in alerts for divergence detection, overbought/oversold crossovers, and zero line crossovers (both oscillator and moving average).
█ SETTINGS AND CUSTOMIZATION
- Cumulative Delta Length: Period for aggregating volume delta (default: 14).
- Smoothing Length (EMA): EMA length for smoothing the delta oscillator (default: 2). Higher values smooth the signal but reduce the number of generated signals.
- Moving Average Length (SMA): SMA length for the moving average line (default: 40). Higher values allow SMA to be analyzed as a trend indicator, but require adjusting overbought/oversold levels for MA, as longer MA oscillates less.
- Pivot Length (Left/Right): Number of candles for detecting pivot highs/lows in divergence calculations (default: 2). Higher values can reduce noise but introduce a delay equal to the set value.
- Overbought/Oversold Levels: Thresholds for the oscillator (default: 18/-18) and for the moving average (default: 10/-10). For the moving average, no arrows appear; instead, the band changes color from gray to green (oversold) or red (overbought), which can strengthen entry signals for delta.
- Signal Type: Select signals to display: "Overbought/Oversold", "Zero Line", "MA Zero Line", "All", or "None" (default: Overbought/Oversold).
- Colors and gradients: Customize colors for bullish/bearish oscillator, moving average, zero line, overbought/oversold levels, and divergence labels.
- Transparency: Adjust gradient fill transparency (default: 70) and band/label transparency (default: 40) for consistent appearance.
- Visualizations: Enable/disable the moving average, gradients for zero/overbought/oversold levels, and gradient fills.
█ USAGE EXAMPLES
- Momentum analysis: Observe the delta oscillator above 0 for bullish momentum or below 0 for bearish momentum. The moving average (SMA), being smoothed, reacts more slowly and can confirm trend direction as a noise filter.
- Reversal signals: Look for buy triangles when the oscillator crosses the oversold level upward, especially when the moving average is below the MA oversold threshold. Similarly, look for sell triangles when crossing the overbought level downward, with the moving average above the MA overbought threshold. Divergence labels (bullish/bearish) indicate potential reversals.
- Divergence trading: Use bullish divergence labels (green) for potential buy opportunities and bearish labels (red) for sell opportunities, especially when confirmed by price action or other indicators.
- Customization: Adjust the cumulative delta length, smoothing, and moving average length to specific instruments and timeframes to minimize false signals.
█ NOTES FOR USERS
- Combine the indicator with other tools, such as Fibonacci levels, RSI, or pivot points, to increase accuracy.
- Test different settings for cumulative delta length, smoothing, and moving average length on your chosen instrument and timeframe to find optimal values.
BTCUSD Dual Thrust (1H)BTCUSD Dual Thrust (1H) — Indicator
Overview
The Dual Thrust is a classic breakout-type strategy designed to capture strong directional moves when markets show imbalance between buyers and sellers. This indicator adapts the method specifically for BTCUSD on the 1-Hour timeframe, showing dynamic Buy/Sell trigger levels and live signals.
Origin
The Dual Thrust system was originally introduced by Michael Vitucci and has been widely used in futures and high-volatility markets. It was designed as a day-trading breakout framework, where daily high/low and close data define the range for the next session’s trade triggers.
How it Works
Each new day, the indicator calculates a “breakout range” using daily price data.
Two trigger levels are projected from the daily open:
Buy Trigger: Open + Range × KUp
Sell Trigger: Open - Range × KDn
Range can be built from either:
Classic Dual Thrust formula: max(High - Close , Close - Low) over a lookback period, or
ATR-based range: for volatility-adaptive signals.
A LONG signal fires when price crosses above the Buy Trigger.
An EXIT signal fires when price crosses below the Sell Trigger.
Buy/Sell lines step forward across each intraday bar until recalculated at the next daily open.
Practical Use
Optimized for BTCUSD 1-Hour charts (crypto’s volatility provides stronger follow-through).
Use the Buy/Sell levels as dynamic breakout lines or as confluence with your own setups.
Alerts are built in, so you can receive notifications when a LONG or EXIT condition triggers.
Designed as an indicator only (not a backtest strategy).
Key Features
✅ Daily Buy/Sell trigger lines auto-calculated and forward-filled
✅ LONG / EXIT labels on signals
✅ Optional ATR mode for volatility regimes
✅ Optional bar coloring for easy visual scanning
✅ Alerts ready for live monitoring
⚡️ Tip: While this indicator highlights breakout opportunities, effectiveness can improve when combined with trend filters (e.g., 200-SMA) or when aligned with higher timeframe supply/demand zones.
Live Market - Performance MonitorLive Market — Performance Monitor
Study material (no code) — step-by-step training guide for learners
________________________________________
1) What this tool is — short overview
This indicator is a live market performance monitor designed for learning. It scans price, volume and volatility, detects order blocks and trendline events, applies filters (volume & ATR), generates trade signals (BUY/SELL), creates simple TP/SL trade management, and renders a compact dashboard summarizing market state, risk and performance metrics.
Use it to learn how multi-factor signals are constructed, how Greeks-style sensitivity is replaced by volatility/ATR reasoning, and how a live dashboard helps monitor trade quality.
________________________________________
2) Quick start — how a learner uses it (step-by-step)
1. Add the indicator to a chart (any ticker / timeframe).
2. Open inputs and review the main groups: Order Block, Trendline, Signal Filters, Display.
3. Start with defaults (OB periods ≈ 7, ATR multiplier 0.5, volume threshold 1.2) and observe the dashboard on the last bar.
4. Walk the chart back in time (use the last-bar update behavior) and watch how signals, order blocks, trendlines, and the performance counters change.
5. Run the hands-on labs below to build intuition.
________________________________________
3) Main configurable inputs (what you can tweak)
• Order Block Relevant Periods (default ~7): number of consecutive candles used to define an order block.
• Min. Percent Move for Valid OB (threshold): minimum percent move required for a valid order block.
• Number of OB Channels: how many past order block lines to keep visible.
• Trendline Period (tl_period): pivot lookback for detecting highs/lows used to draw trendlines.
• Use Wicks for Trendlines: whether pivot uses wicks or body.
• Extension Bars: how far trendlines are projected forward.
• Use Volume Filter + Volume Threshold Multiplier (e.g., 1.2): requires volume to be greater than multiplier × average volume.
• Use ATR Filter + ATR Multiplier: require bar range > ATR × multiplier to filter noise.
• Show Targets / Table settings / Colors for visualization.
________________________________________
4) Core building blocks — what the script computes (plain language)
Price & trend:
• Spot / LTP: current close price.
• EMA 9 / 21 / 50: fast, medium, slow moving averages to define short/medium trend.
o trend_bullish: EMA9 > EMA21 > EMA50
o trend_bearish: EMA9 < EMA21 < EMA50
o trend_neutral: otherwise
Volatility & noise:
• ATR (14): average true range used for dynamic target and filter sizing.
• dynamic_zone = ATR × atr_multiplier: minimum bar range required for meaningful move.
• Annualized volatility: stdev of price changes × sqrt(252) × 100 — used to classify volatility (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW).
Momentum & oscillators:
• RSI 14: overbought/oversold indicator (thresholds 70/30).
• MACD: EMA(12)-EMA(26) and a 9-period signal line; histogram used for momentum direction and strength.
• Momentum (ta.mom 10): raw momentum over 10 bars.
Mean reversion / band context:
• Bollinger Bands (20, 2σ): upper, mid, lower.
o price_position measures where price sits inside the band range as 0–100.
Volume metrics:
• avg_volume = SMA(volume, 20) and volume_spike = volume > avg_volume × volume_threshold
o volume_ratio = volume / avg_volume
Support & Resistance:
• support_level = lowest low over 20 bars
• resistance_level = highest high over 20 bars
• current_position = percent of price between support & resistance (0–100)
________________________________________
5) Order Block detection — concept & logic
What it tries to find: a bar (the base) followed by N candles in the opposite direction (a classical order block setup), with a minimum % move to qualify. The script records the high/low of the base candle, averages them, and plots those levels as OB channels.
How learners should think about it (conceptual):
1. An order block is a signature area where institutions (theory) left liquidity — often seen as a large bar followed by a sequence of directional candles.
2. This indicator uses a configurable number of subsequent candles to confirm that the pattern exists.
3. When found, it stores and displays the base candle’s high/low area so students can see how price later reacts to those zones.
Implementation note for learners: the tool keeps a limited history of OB lines (ob_channels). When new OBs exceed the count, the oldest lines are removed — good practice to avoid clutter.
________________________________________
6) Trendline detection — idea & interpretation
• The script finds pivot highs and lows using a symmetric lookback (tl_period and half that as right/left).
• It then computes a trendline slope from successive pivots and projects the line forward (extension_bars).
• Break detection: Resistance break = close crosses above the projected resistance line; Support break = close crosses below projected support.
Learning tip: trendlines here are computed from pivot points and time. Watch how changing tl_period (bigger = smoother, fewer pivots) alters the trendlines and break signals.
________________________________________
7) Signal generation & filters — step-by-step
1. Primary triggers:
o Bullish trigger: order block bullish OR resistance trendline break.
o Bearish trigger: bearish order block OR support trendline break.
2. Filters applied (both must pass unless disabled):
o Volume filter: volume must be > avg_volume × volume_threshold.
o ATR filter: bar range (high-low) must exceed ATR × atr_multiplier.
o Not in an existing trade: new trades only start if trade_active is false.
3. Trend confirmation:
o The primary trigger is only confirmed if trend is bullish/neutral for buys or bearish/neutral for sells (EMA alignment).
4. Result:
o When confirmed, a long or short trade is activated with TP/SL calculated from ATR multiples.
________________________________________
8) Trade management — what the tool does after a signal
• Entry management: the script marks a trade as trade_active and sets long_trade or short_trade flags.
• TP & SL rules:
o Long: TP = high + 2×ATR ; SL = low − 1×ATR
o Short: TP = low − 2×ATR ; SL = high + 1×ATR
• Monitoring & exit:
o A trade closes when price reaches TP or SL.
o When TP/SL hit, the indicator updates win_count and total_pnl using a very simple calculation (difference between TP/SL and previous close).
o Visual lines/labels are drawn for TP and updated as the trade runs.
Important learner notes:
• The script does not store a true entry price (it uses close in its P&L math), so PnL is an approximation — treat this as a learning proxy, not a position accounting system.
• There’s no sizing, slippage, or fee accounted — students must manually factor these when translating to real trades.
• This indicator is not a backtesting strategy; strategy.* functions would be needed for rigorous backtest results.
________________________________________
9) Signal strength & helper utilities
• Signal strength is a composite score (0–100) made up of four signals worth 25 points each:
1. RSI extreme (overbought/oversold) → 25
2. Volume spike → 25
3. MACD histogram magnitude increasing → 25
4. Trend existence (bull or bear) → 25
• Progress bars (text glyphs) are used to visually show RSI and signal strength on the table.
Learning point: composite scoring is a way to combine orthogonal signals — study how changing weights changes outcomes.

10) Dashboard — how to read each section (walkthrough)
The dashboard is split into sections; here's how to interpret them:
1. Market Overview
o LTP / Change%: immediate price & daily % change.
2. RSI & MACD
o RSI value plus progress bar (overbought 70 / oversold 30).
o MACD histogram sign indicates bullish/bearish momentum.
3. Volume Analysis
o Volume ratio (current / average) and whether there’s a spike.
4. Order Block Status
o Buy OB / Sell OB: the average base price of detected order blocks or “No Signal.”
5. Signal Status
o 🔼 BUY or 🔽 SELL if confirmed, or ⚪ WAIT.
o No-trade vs Active indicator summarizing market readiness.
6. Trend Analysis
o Trend direction (from EMAs), market sentiment score (composite), volatility level and band/position metrics.
7. Performance
o Win Rate = wins / signals (percentage)
o Total PnL = cumulative PnL (approximate)
o Bull / Bear Volume = accumulated volumes attributable to signals
8. Support & Resistance
o 20-bar highest/lowest — use as nearby reference points.
9. Risk & R:R
o Risk Level from ATR/price as a percent.
o R:R Ratio computed from TP/SL if a trade is active.
10. Signal Strength & Active Trade Status
• Numeric strength + progress bar and whether a trade is currently active with TP/SL display.
________________________________________
11) Alerts — what will notify you
The indicator includes pre-built alert triggers for:
• Bullish confirmed signal
• Bearish confirmed signal
• TP hit (long/short)
• SL hit (long/short)
• No-trade zone
• High signal strength (score > 75%)
Training use: enable alerts during a replay session to be notified when the indicator would have signalled.

12) Labs — hands-on exercises for learners (step-by-step)
Lab A — Order Block recognition
1. Pick a 15–30 minute timeframe on a liquid ticker.
2. Use default OB periods (7). Mark each time the dashboard shows a Buy/Sell OB.
3. Manually inspect the chart at the base candle and the following sequence — draw the OB zone by hand and watch later price reactions to it.
4. Repeat with OB periods 5 and 10; note stability vs noise.
Lab B — Trendline break confirmation
1. Increase trendline period (e.g., 20), watch trendlines form from pivots.
2. When a resistance break is flagged, compare with MACD & volume: was momentum aligned?
3. Note false breaks vs confirmed moves — change extension_bars to see projection effects.
Lab C — Filter sensitivity
1. Toggle Use Volume Filter off, and record the number and quality of signals in a 2-day window.
2. Re-enable volume filter and change threshold from 1.2 → 1.6; note how many low-quality signals are filtered out.
Lab D — Trade management simulation
1. For each signalled trade, record the time, close entry approximation, TP, SL, and eventual hit/miss.
2. Compute actual PnL if you had entered at the open of the next bar to compare with the script’s PnL math.
3. Tabulate win rate and average R:R.
Lab E — Performance review & improvement
1. Build a spreadsheet of signals over 30–90 periods with columns: Date, Signal type, Entry price (real), TP, SL, Exit, PnL, Notes.
2. Analyze which filters or indicators contributed most to winners vs losers and adjust weights.

13) Common pitfalls, assumptions & implementation notes (things to watch)
• P&L simplification: total_pnl uses close as a proxy entry price. Real entry/exit prices and slippage are not recorded — so PnL is approximate.
• No position sizing or money management: the script doesn’t compute position size from equity or risk percent.
• Signal confirmation logic: composite "signal_strength" is a simple 4×25 point scheme — explore different weights or additional signals.
• Order block detection nuance: the script defines the base candle and checks the subsequent sequence. Be sure to verify whether the intended candle direction (base being bullish vs bearish) aligns with academic/your trading definition — read the code carefully and test.
• Trendline slope over time: slope is computed using timestamps; small differences may make lines sensitive on very short timeframes — using bar_index differences is usually more stable.
• Not a true backtester: to evaluate performance statistically you must transform the logic into a strategy script that places hypothetical orders and records exact entry/exit prices.
________________________________________
14) Suggested improvements for advanced learners
• Record true entry price & timestamp for accurate PnL.
• Add position sizing: risk % per trade using SL distance and account size.
• Convert to strategy. (Pine Strategy)* to run formal backtests with equity curves, drawdowns, and metrics (Sharpe, Sortino).
• Log trades to an external spreadsheet (via alerts + webhook) for offline analysis.
• Add statistics: average win/loss, expectancy, max drawdown.
• Add additional filters: news time blackout, market session filters, multi-timeframe confirmation.
• Improve OB detection: combine wick/body, volume spike at base bar, and liquidity sweep detection.

15) Glossary — quick definitions
• ATR (Average True Range): measure of typical range; used to size targets and stops.
• EMA (Exponential Moving Average): trend smoothing giving more weight to recent prices.
• RSI (Relative Strength Index): momentum oscillator; >70 overbought, <30 oversold.
• MACD: momentum oscillator using difference of two EMAs.
• Bollinger Bands: volatility bands around SMA.
• Order Block: a base candle area with subsequent confirmation candles; a zone of institutional interest (learning model).
• Pivot High/Low: local turning point defined by candles on both sides.
• Signal Strength: combined score from multiple indicators.
• Win Rate: proportion of signals that hit TP vs total signals.
• R:R (Risk:Reward): ratio of potential reward (TP distance) to risk (entry to SL).
________________________________________
16) Limitations & assumptions (be explicit)
• This is an indicator for learning — not a trading robot or broker connection.
• No slippage, fees, commissions or tie-in to real orders are considered.
• The logic is heuristic (rule-of-thumb), not a guarantee of performance.
• Results are sensitive to timeframe, market liquidity, and parameter choices.
________________________________________
17) Practical classroom / study plan (4 sessions)
• Session 1 — Foundations: Understand EMAs, ATR, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands. Run the indicator and watch how these numbers change on a single day.
• Session 2 — Zones & Filters: Study order blocks and trendlines. Test volume & ATR filters and note changes in false signals.
• Session 3 — Simulated trading: Manually track 20 signals, compute real PnL and compare to the dashboard.
• Session 4 — Improvement plan: Propose changes (e.g., better PnL accounting, alternative OB rule) and test their impact.

18) Quick reference checklist for each signal
1. Was an order block or trendline break detected? (primary trigger)
2. Did volume meet threshold? (filter)
3. Did ATR filter (bar size) show a real move? (filter)
4. Was trend aligned (EMA 9/21/50)? (confirmation)
5. Signal confirmed → mark entry approximation, TP, SL.
6. Monitor dashboard (Signal Strength, Volatility, No-trade zone, R:R).
7. After exit, log real entry/exit, compute actual PnL, update spreadsheet.

19) Educational caveat & final note
This tool is built for training and analysis: it helps you see how common technical building blocks combine into trade ideas, but it is not a trading recommendation. Use it to develop judgment, to test hypotheses, and to design robust systems with proper backtesting and risk control before risking capital.
