Crypto Divergence from BTCThis script is used to indicate when price action of a crypto coin is diverging significantly from that of BTC.
Explanation of the Script:
Inputs:
roc_length: The period used for calculating the Rate of Change.
ma_length: The period used for the moving average of the ROC.
threshold: The percentage difference that indicates a divergence.
Price Data:
The script retrieves the current asset's price and Bitcoin's price.
ROC Calculation:
The ROC for both the current asset and BTC is calculated based on the defined roc_length.
Moving Averages:
Simple moving averages (SMA) of the ROC values are calculated to smooth out the data.
Divergence Detection:
The indicator checks if the current asset's ROC MA is significantly higher or lower than Bitcoin's ROC MA based on the specified threshold.
Plotting:
The script plots the ROC values and their moving averages.
It also highlights the background in green when a bullish divergence is detected (when the asset is moving up while BTC is lagging) and in red for a bearish divergence.
Stochastics Confluences 4 in 1Description of the Pine Script:
This script plots the Full Stochastic indicator for four different time periods, and highlights conditions where potential buy or sell signals can be identified. The Stochastic indicator measures the position of the current closing price relative to the range of high and low prices over a defined period, helping traders identify overbought and oversold conditions.
Key Features:
Stochastic Calculation for 4 Different Periods:
The script calculates the Stochastic for four separate lookback periods: 9, 14, 40, and 60 bars.
Each Stochastic value is smoothed by a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to reduce noise and provide a clearer signal.
Visual Representation:
It plots each Stochastic value on the chart using different colors, allowing the user to see how the different periods of the indicator behave relative to each other.
Horizontal lines are drawn at 80 (Upper Bound) and 20 (Lower Bound), commonly used to identify overbought and oversold regions.
Highlighting Buy and Sell Conditions:
Green Highlight (Potential Buy Signal):
When all four Stochastic values (for the four different periods) are below 20, this suggests that the asset is in an oversold condition across multiple timeframes. The green background highlight appears when the Stochastic lines converge below 20, indicating a potential buy signal, as the price may be preparing to move upward from an oversold state.
Red Highlight (Potential Sell Signal):
When all four Stochastic values are above 80, the asset is in an overbought condition across multiple timeframes. The red background highlight appears when the Stochastic lines converge above 80, indicating a potential sell signal, as the price may soon reverse downward from an overbought state.
How to Interpret the Signals:
Buy Signals (Green Highlight):
When the chart is highlighted in green, it means the Stochastic indicators for all four periods are below 20, signaling that the asset is oversold and may be nearing a potential upward reversal. This condition suggests a possible buying opportunity, especially when other indicators confirm the potential for an upward trend.
Sell Signals (Red Highlight):
When the chart is highlighted in red, it indicates that the Stochastic indicators for all four periods are above 80, meaning the asset is overbought. This condition signals a possible downward reversal, suggesting a potential selling opportunity if the price begins to show signs of weakness.
By using this script, traders can visually identify periods of strong confluence across different timeframes when the Stochastic indicators are in extreme oversold or overbought conditions, which are traditionally seen as strong buy or sell signals.
This approach helps filter out weaker signals and focuses on moments when all timeframes align, increasing the probability of a successful trade.
HTF LQ SweepThe following script recognises QL sweeps in the desired time frame with alarm function!
Theory:
There is liquidity above highs and below lows. If this is tapped and the market reacts strongly immediately, the probability of a reversal is greatly increased! In the chart, this is defined in such a way that a candle has its wicks BELOW the old low, but the close is ABOVE the old low. the same applies to the high, of course!
In such a case we have an "LQ Sweep"
How does the script work?
Williams 3 fractals are used as a basis. These are meaningful as lows or highs. Whenever a fractal is created, the price level is saved.
This means that not only the last fractal is relevant, but all historical fractals as long as they have not been reached!
If a candle reaches the level, but shows a rejection and closes within the level again, we have our "LQ Sweep" setup.
In the script you can select the timeframe in which the market has to be analysed. When the QL sweep occurs, an alert is triggered. This saves a lot of time because you can analyse different markets in different timeframes at the same time!
Each QL Sweep is marked in the chart when we are in the selected timeframe. These can also be deactivated so that only the last sweep is displayed.
Benefits for the trader:
An LQ sweep is a nice confirmation for a reversal.
If we have such an LQ sweep, we can wait in the lower timeframe for further confirmation, such as a structural break, to position our entries there.
The alarm function saves us a lot of time and we only go to the chart when a potential setup has been created.
You can set different time frames in the script: The selected time frame is then scanned and sends a signal when the event occurs.
Options Series - Ichimoku Cloud and HalfTrend
The provided script combines two powerful technical indicators, Ichimoku Cloud and HalfTrend, to create a hybrid trading tool. Here's an analysis of the key components and how they work together:
Ichimoku Cloud and HalfTrend
⭐ 1. Indicator Title and Settings:
The script sets the title as "Options Series - Ichimoku Cloud and HalfTrend" and uses the overlay=true option to display the indicators directly on the price chart.
⭐ 2. Color Definitions:
Several colors are defined for later use:
Green and Red for different types of candles and signals.
Fluorescent Colors for highlighting significant trends or changes in market conditions.
⭐ 3. Ichimoku Cloud Setup:
The Ichimoku Cloud is a comprehensive indicator used to identify support, resistance, and trend direction. Here’s how the script configures it:
Conversion Periods, Base Periods, Lagging Span 2 Periods, and Displacement are customizable via input options, giving flexibility to adjust Ichimoku settings based on different market conditions.
The function donchian(len) calculates the Donchian Channel average, which is used to define the Conversion Line and Base Line. The crossover of these lines is crucial in determining bullish or bearish trends.
Color Logic for Kijun Cross: If the Conversion Line is above the Base Line, the trend is bullish (green color), while a bearish trend is indicated by red. A neutral condition is marked with orange.
⭐ 4. HalfTrend Indicator Setup:
The HalfTrend indicator detects trend reversals based on high/low price deviations from a moving average:
Amplitude and Channel Deviation inputs allow users to control the sensitivity of the indicator.
showArrows and showChannels toggle the display of buy/sell arrows and trend channels.
maxLowPrice and minHighPrice variables are initialized to track significant high/low points during the trend, used to confirm trend reversals.
⭐ 5. ATR and Trend Calculations:
The Average True Range (ATR) is used to calculate the volatility-based channels. The script calculates atr2 and uses this to create atrHigh and atrLow for plotting the channel.
The trend detection logic is as follows:
When the trend is upward, the script seeks confirmation by comparing the high moving average with previous lows, signaling a continuation of the uptrend if it holds.
Conversely, a downtrend is confirmed when the low moving average exceeds previous highs.
⭐ 6. Customized Candle Coloring:
A custom color scheme is applied to candles based on a combination of trend direction and Ichimoku Cloud signals:
GreenFluorescent for strong bullish conditions where price is above the HalfTrend line, and the Conversion Line is above the Base Line.
RedFluorescent for strong bearish conditions, with price below the HalfTrend line and Conversion Line below the Base Line.
Gray for neutral or indecisive conditions.
⭐ 7. Plots and Shapes:
The script plots various elements:
HalfTrend Line: The main trendline is plotted in either green (buy) or red (sell), with adjustable line width.
Ichimoku Base Line: This is plotted with the dynamic color based on crossovers.
Buy/Sell Arrows: These are drawn on the chart when valid buy/sell conditions are met.
Custom Candles: The script overrides default chart candles with custom-colored candles based on the previously discussed logic.
⭐ 8. Improvements:
Optimization: Parameters like the amplitude, channel deviation, and Ichimoku periods can be fine-tuned based on backtesting results to maximize performance for specific assets or timeframes.
Alerts: The script could be enhanced by adding alert conditions for real-time buy/sell notifications, leveraging alertcondition() in Pine Script.
In summary, this script merges two trend-following techniques for a multi-faceted view of the market, using visual cues and trendline logic to provide a robust trading tool.
🚀 Conclusion:
Trend-Following System: The combination of Ichimoku Cloud and HalfTrend provides a comprehensive view of both long-term trends (via Ichimoku) and shorter-term reversals (via HalfTrend).
Visual Signals: The script includes clear visual signals (arrows and custom-colored candles) to help traders quickly spot buy/sell opportunities.
Dynamic Customization: Through user inputs, this indicator can be tailored to different market conditions, making it versatile.
Geometric Mean IndicatorThis script calculates and plots the Geometric Mean (GM) of two significant price levels (in this case, moving averages) to identify balance points or equilibrium levels in the market.
Key Components of the Script:
Input Variables:
length1: Defines the period for the first moving average (representing the first radius 𝑥x).
length2: Defines the period for the second moving average (representing the second radius
𝑦y).
Moving Averages (Price Levels):
ma1: The first moving average (calculated using the closing price over the period defined by length1).
ma2: The second moving average (calculated using the closing price over the period defined by length2).
Geometric Mean (GM) Calculation:
The geometric mean between the two moving averages is calculated as:
GM = sqrt(ma1 * ma2)
This value represents the midpoint or balance between the two price levels (analogous to the geometric mean between the radii in the mathematical discovery).
Plotting the Values:
The script plots:
ma1: First moving average (blue line).
ma2: Second moving average (red line).
geometric_mean: The geometric mean of the two moving averages (green line), which serves as the dynamic equilibrium point.
Visual Markers for Crossovers:
The script detects when the price crosses above or below the geometric mean:
Green markers (below the bar) indicate a crossover above the geometric mean.
Red markers (above the bar) indicate a crossover below the geometric mean.
Purpose of the Indicator:
The Geometric Mean Indicator is designed to:
Highlight equilibrium points: The geometric mean between two price levels can signal areas where the market is balanced or poised for a potential breakout.
Detect potential trend reversals: When the price crosses above or below the geometric mean, it can indicate shifts in market momentum, similar to how the GM in geometry represents a transition point.
How to Use:
Dynamic Equilibrium: The geometric mean (green line) represents a balance between two price levels (moving averages) and can act as support or resistance.
Price Crossovers: Watch for price crossing the geometric mean to identify potential trend changes or areas of significant price action.
Adjust Inputs: You can modify the lengths of the moving averages (length1 and length2) to adjust the sensitivity of the indicator based on different timeframes or strategies.
Summary in Context of the Geometric Proof:
The script applies the geometric concept of the Geometric Mean (GM) as a balance point between two radii (represented by moving averages in this case).
It mirrors the idea that the GM is the midpoint of the tangent slope between two circles, where the moving averages (or price levels) serve as the "radii" in the market context.
Uptrick: MultiTrend Squeeze System**Uptrick: MultiTrend Squeeze System Indicator: The Ultimate Trading Tool for Precision and Versatility 📈🔥**
### Introduction
The MultiTrend Squeeze System is a powerful, multi-faceted trading indicator designed to provide traders with precise buy and sell signals by combining the strengths of multiple technical analysis tools. This script isn't just an indicator; it's a comprehensive trading system that merges the power of SuperTrend, RSI, Volume Filtering, and Squeeze Momentum to give you an unparalleled edge in the market. Whether you're a day trader looking for short-term opportunities or a swing trader aiming to catch longer-term trends, this indicator is tailored to meet your needs.
### Key Features and Unique Aspects
1. **SuperTrend with Dynamic Adjustments 📊**
- **Adaptive SuperTrend Calculation:** The SuperTrend is a popular trend-following indicator that adjusts dynamically based on market conditions. It uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate upper and lower bands, which shift according to market volatility. This script takes it further by combining it with the RSI and Volume filtering to provide more accurate signals.
- **Direction Sensitivity:** The SuperTrend here is not static. It adjusts based on the direction of the previous SuperTrend value, ensuring that the indicator remains relevant even in choppy markets.
2. **RSI Integration for Overbought/Oversold Conditions 💹**
- **RSI Calculation:** The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is incorporated to identify overbought and oversold conditions, adding an extra layer of precision. This helps in filtering out false signals and ensuring that trades are taken only in optimal conditions.
- **Customizable RSI Settings:** The RSI settings are fully customizable, allowing traders to adjust the RSI length and the overbought/oversold levels according to their trading style and market.
3. **Volume Filtering for Enhanced Signal Confirmation 📉**
- **Volume Multiplier:** This unique feature integrates volume analysis, ensuring that signals are only generated when there is sufficient market participation. The Volume Multiplier can be adjusted to filter out weak signals that occur during low-volume periods.
- **Optional Volume Filtering:** Traders have the flexibility to turn the volume filter on or off, depending on their preference or market conditions. This makes the indicator versatile, allowing it to be used across different asset classes and market conditions.
4. **Squeeze Momentum Indicator (SMI) for Market Pressure Analysis 💥**
- **Squeeze Detection:** The Squeeze Momentum Indicator detects periods of market compression and expansion. This script goes beyond the traditional Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels by incorporating true range calculations, offering a more nuanced view of market momentum.
- **Customizable Squeeze Settings:** The lengths and multipliers for both Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels are customizable, giving traders the flexibility to fine-tune the indicator based on their specific needs.
5. **Visual and Aesthetic Customization 🎨**
- **Color-Coding for Clarity:** The indicator is color-coded to make it easy to interpret signals. Bullish trends are marked with a vibrant green color, while bearish trends are highlighted in red. Neutral or unconfirmed signals are displayed in softer tones to reduce noise.
- **Histogram Visualization:** The primary trend direction and strength are displayed as a histogram, making it easy to visualize the market's momentum at a glance. The height and color of the bars provide immediate feedback on the strength and direction of the trend.
6. **Alerts for Real-Time Trading 🚨**
- **Custom Alerts:** The script is equipped with custom alerts that notify traders when a buy or sell signal is generated. These alerts can be configured to send notifications through various channels, including email, SMS, or directly to the trading platform.
- **Immediate Reaction:** The alerts are triggered based on the confluence of SuperTrend, RSI, and Volume signals, ensuring that traders are notified only when the most robust trading opportunities arise.
7. **Comprehensive Input Customization ⚙️**
- **SuperTrend Settings:** Adjust the ATR length and factor to control the sensitivity of the SuperTrend. This allows you to adapt the indicator to different market conditions, whether you're trading a volatile cryptocurrency or a more stable stock.
- **RSI Settings:** Customize the RSI length and thresholds for overbought and oversold conditions, enabling you to tailor the indicator to your specific trading strategy.
- **Volume Settings:** The Volume Multiplier and the option to toggle the volume filter provide an additional layer of customization, allowing you to fine-tune the indicator based on market liquidity and participation.
- **Squeeze Momentum Settings:** The lengths and multipliers for Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels can be adjusted to detect different levels of market compression, providing flexibility for both short-term and long-term traders.
### How It Works: A Deep Dive Into the Mechanics 🛠️
1. **SuperTrend Calculation:**
- The SuperTrend is calculated using the ATR, which measures market volatility. The indicator creates upper and lower bands around the price, adjusting these bands based on the current level of market volatility. The direction of the trend is determined by the position of the price relative to these bands.
- The script enhances the standard SuperTrend by ensuring that the bands do not flip-flop too quickly, reducing the chances of false signals in a choppy market. The direction is confirmed by checking the position of the close relative to the previous band, making the trend detection more reliable.
2. **RSI Integration:**
- The RSI is calculated over a customizable length and compared to user-defined overbought and oversold levels. When the RSI crosses below the oversold level, and the SuperTrend indicates a bullish trend, a buy signal is generated. Conversely, when the RSI crosses above the overbought level, and the SuperTrend indicates a bearish trend, a sell signal is triggered.
- The combination of RSI with SuperTrend ensures that trades are only taken when there is a strong confluence of signals, reducing the chances of entering trades during weak or indecisive market phases.
3. **Volume Filtering:**
- The script calculates the average volume over a 20-period simple moving average. The volume filter ensures that buy and sell signals are only valid when the current volume exceeds a multiple of this average, which can be adjusted by the user. This feature helps filter out weak signals that might occur during low-volume periods, such as just before a major news event or during after-hours trading.
- The volume filter is particularly useful in markets where volume spikes are common, as it ensures that signals are only generated when there is significant market interest in the direction of the trend.
4. **Squeeze Momentum:**
- The Squeeze Momentum Indicator (SMI) adds a layer of market pressure analysis. The script calculates Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, detecting when the market is in a "squeeze" — a period of low volatility that typically precedes a significant price move.
- When the Bollinger Bands are inside the Keltner Channels, the market is in a squeeze (compression phase). This is often a precursor to a breakout or breakdown. The script colors the histogram bars black during this phase, indicating a potential for a strong move. Once the squeeze is released, the bars are colored according to the direction of the SuperTrend, signaling a potential entry point.
5. **Integration and Signal Generation:**
- The script brings together the SuperTrend, RSI, Volume, and Squeeze Momentum to generate highly accurate buy and sell signals. A buy signal is triggered when the SuperTrend is bullish, the RSI indicates oversold conditions, and the volume filter confirms strong market participation. Similarly, a sell signal is generated when the SuperTrend is bearish, the RSI indicates overbought conditions, and the volume filter is met.
- The combination of these elements ensures that the signals are robust, reducing the likelihood of entering trades during weak or indecisive market conditions.
### Practical Applications: How to Use the MultiTrend Squeeze System 📅
1. **Day Trading:**
- For day traders, this indicator provides quick and reliable signals that can be used to enter and exit trades multiple times within a day. The volume filter ensures that you are trading during the most liquid times of the day, increasing the chances of successful trades. The Squeeze Momentum aspect helps you catch breakouts or breakdowns, which are common in intraday trading.
2. **Swing Trading:**
- Swing traders can use the MultiTrend Squeeze System to identify longer-term trends. By adjusting the ATR length and factor, you can make the SuperTrend more sensitive to catch longer-term moves. The RSI and Squeeze Momentum aspects help you time your entries and exits, ensuring that you get in early on a trend and exit before it reverses.
3. **Scalping:**
- For scalpers, the quick signals provided by this system, especially in combination with the volume filter, make it easier to take small profits repeatedly. The histogram bars give you a clear visual cue of the market's momentum, making it easier to scalp effectively.
4. **Position Trading:**
- Even position traders can benefit from this indicator by using it to confirm long-term trends. By adjusting the settings to less sensitive parameters, you can ensure that you are only entering trades when a strong trend is confirmed. The Squeeze Momentum indicator will help you stay in the trade during periods of consolidation, waiting for the next big move.
### Conclusion: Why the MultiTrend Squeeze System is a Game-Changer 🚀
The MultiTrend Squeeze System is not just another trading indicator; it’s a comprehensive trading strategy encapsulated within a single script. By combining the power
of SuperTrend, RSI, Volume Filtering, and Squeeze Momentum, this indicator provides a robust and versatile tool that can be adapted to various trading styles and market conditions.
**Why is it Unique?**
- **Multi-Dimensional Analysis:** Unlike many other indicators that rely on a single data point or calculation, this script incorporates multiple layers of analysis, ensuring that signals are based on a confluence of factors, which increases their reliability.
- **Customizability:** The vast range of input settings allows traders to tailor the indicator to their specific needs, whether they are trading forex, stocks, cryptocurrencies, or commodities.

This description provides a clear overview of the indicator, explaining its features, how it works, and how traders can use it effectively. This should meet the publication guidelines for closed-source scripts.
3-Criteria StrategyThe "3-Criteria Strategy" is a simple yet effective trading strategy based on three criteria:
200-Day Moving Average: The first criterion checks whether the current price is above or below the 200-day moving average (SMA). A price above the 200-day line is considered bullish (thumbs up), while a price below is considered bearish (thumbs down).
5-Day Indicator: The second criterion evaluates the performance of the first five trading days of the year. If the closing price on the fifth trading day is higher than the closing price on the last trading day of the previous year, this is considered bullish (thumbs up). Otherwise, it's bearish (thumbs down).
Year-to-Date (YTD) Effect: The third criterion compares the current price with the closing price at the end of the previous year. A current price above the year-end price is bullish (thumbs up), while a price below is bearish (thumbs down).
Signal Interpretation:
Buy Signal: At least two of the three criteria must give a bullish signal (thumbs up).
Sell Signal: Zero or one bullish signal results in a bearish outlook.
The script provides visual cues with background colors:
Green background: Indicates a buy signal.
Red background: Indicates a sell signal.
Additionally, the script plots the 200-day moving average and the YTD line on the chart for better visualization.
Usage:
Apply the Script: Add the script to your TradingView chart.
Interpret Signals: Monitor the background color and the status label to determine trading actions.
Visual Aids: Use the 200-day line and YTD line plotted on the chart to confirm the criteria visually.
Scientific Research
The concepts used in this script—like the 200-day moving average and Year-to-Date effects—are well-documented in financial literature. However, the combination of these specific criteria as a trading strategy is more of a heuristic approach commonly used by traders rather than a subject of extensive academic research.
200-Day Moving Average: The 200-day moving average is widely regarded as a significant level in technical analysis, often serving as a demarcation between long-term bullish and bearish trends. Research has shown that long-term moving averages can be useful for trend-following strategies.

- For all other timeframes, the step size is set to "12M" (yearly).
8. Trend Calculation
The core of the indicator is its ability to calculate market trends. Here's a detailed breakdown of how the `calculateTrend` function works:
- Initialization: Variables for the middle price and scale, and summations of high/low prices and ranges, are initialized.
- Summation Loop: A loop runs over the smoothing length to calculate the sum of high and low prices and their range.
- Middle and Scale Calculation: The middle price is determined as the average of high/low sums, and the scale is calculated as a fraction of the average range.
- Normalization: The high, low, and close prices are normalized based on the middle price and scale.
- HT Calculation: The normalized prices are smoothed using a simple moving average (SMA).
- Frequency and Exponential Calculations: The frequency and related constants (a, c1, c2, c3) are calculated for further smoothing.
- Smoothed Moving Average (SMA): A smoothed moving average is computed using the HT values and exponential constants.
- WT1 and WT2 Calculation: The final smoothed values (WT1) and their average (WT2) are derived.
9. Color Application Based on Trend
Once the trend is calculated, the script applies the appropriate color to the candles based on the selected color scheme. This function ensures that the visual representation of the trend is consistent with the user’s preferences.
10. Label Plotting for Timeframes

Supertrend + BB + Consecutive Candles + QQE + EMA [Pineify]Overview
This indicator, developed by Pineify, is a comprehensive tool designed to assist traders in making informed decisions by combining multiple technical analysis methods. It integrates Supertrend, Bollinger Bands (BB), Consecutive Candles, Quantitative Qualitative Estimation (QQE), and Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) into a single, cohesive script. This multi-faceted approach allows traders to analyze market trends, volatility, and potential buy/sell signals with greater accuracy.
Key Features
1. Supertrend: Utilizes the Supertrend indicator to identify the prevailing market trend. It provides clear buy and sell signals based on the direction of the trend.
2. Bollinger Bands (BB): Measures market volatility and identifies overbought or oversold conditions. The script calculates the middle, upper, and lower bands, along with the Bollinger Band Width (BBW) and Bollinger Band %B (BBR).
3. Consecutive Candles: Detects sequences of consecutive bullish or bearish candles, providing signals when a specified number of consecutive candles are detected.
4. Quantitative Qualitative Estimation (QQE): Combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with a smoothing factor to generate buy and sell signals based on the QQE methodology.
5. Exponential Moving Averages (EMA): Includes both fast and slow EMAs to identify potential crossovers, which are used as buy and sell signals.
How It Works
- Supertrend: The Supertrend indicator is calculated using a factor and ATR length. It plots the trend direction and generates buy/sell signals when the trend changes.
- Bollinger Bands: The BB indicator calculates the middle band as a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the closing prices. The upper and lower bands are derived by adding and subtracting a multiple of the standard deviation from the middle band.
- Consecutive Candles: This feature counts the number of consecutive candles that close higher or lower than the previous candle. When the count reaches a specified threshold, it generates a buy or sell signal.
- QQE: The QQE indicator smooths the RSI values and calculates the QQE Fast and QQE Slow lines. Buy and sell signals are generated based on the crossover of these lines.
- EMA: The script calculates fast and slow EMAs and generates buy/sell signals based on their crossovers.
How to Use
1. Inputs: Customize the indicator settings through the input parameters:
- Supertrend Factor and ATR Length
- BB Length
- Consecutive Candles Counting
- QQE RSI Length
- Fast and Slow EMA Lengths
- Enable/Disable Alerts for various signals
2. Alerts: Set up alerts for Supertrend, Consecutive Candles, and EMA crossovers. Alerts can be enabled or disabled based on user preference.
3. Visualization: The indicator plots the Supertrend, Bollinger Bands, and EMA lines on the chart. It also marks buy and sell signals with arrows and labels for easy identification.
Concepts Underlying Calculations
- Supertrend: Based on the Average True Range (ATR) to determine the trend direction and potential reversal points.
- Bollinger Bands: Utilizes standard deviation to measure market volatility and identify overbought/oversold conditions.
- Consecutive Candles: A method to detect momentum by counting consecutive bullish or bearish candles.
- QQE: Enhances the traditional RSI by smoothing it and using a dynamic threshold to generate signals.
- EMA: A widely used moving average that gives more weight to recent prices, making it responsive to market changes.
This indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to combine multiple technical analysis methods into a single, easy-to-use script. By integrating these diverse techniques, it provides a comprehensive view of market conditions and potential trading opportunities.
[blackcat] L1 Zero-Lag EMA BandThe Zero-Lag EMA Band is a sophisticated technical analysis tool designed to provide traders with a comprehensive view of market trends. This innovative indicator merges the Zero-Lag EMA, a derivative of the traditional Exponential Moving Average, with Bollinger Bands to create a unique trend indicator that is less laggy and more responsive to market changes.
The Zero-Lag EMA Band is calculated by taking the standard deviation of the price data and adding or subtracting it from the Zero-Lag EMA to create an upper band and a lower band. This process results in a trend band that can help traders identify potential support and resistance levels, providing them with a more accurate assessment of the market's behavior.
The Zero-Lag EMA Band is particularly useful for traders who need to react quickly to market changes. It offers a more timely assessment of potential trend reversals, allowing traders to capitalize on market opportunities and mitigate risk.
The indicator's design is based on the principle of Zero-Lag, which aims to reduce the lag associated with traditional EMAs. This feature makes the Zero-Lag EMA Band a powerful tool for traders who want to stay ahead of the market and make more informed decisions.
In summary, the Zero-Lag EMA Band is a comprehensive and responsive tool for traders looking to identify and capitalize on market trends. It is a valuable addition to any trader's toolkit, offering a more accurate and timely assessment of potential trend reversals and providing a more comprehensive view of the market's behavior.
Certainly! Let's go through the Pine Script code line by line to understand its functionality:
//@version=5
This line specifies the version of Pine Script being used. In this case, it's version 5.
indicator(' L1 Zero-Lag EMA Band', shorttitle='L1 ZLEMA Band', overlay=true)
This line defines the indicator with a title and a short title. The `overlay=true` parameter means that the indicator will be plotted on top of the price data.
length = input.int(21, minval=1, title='Length')
This line creates an input field for the user to specify the length of the EMA. The default value is 21, and the minimum value is 1.
mult = input(1, title='Multiplier')
This line creates an input field for the user to specify the multiplier for the standard deviation, which is used to calculate the bands around the EMA. The default value is 1.
src = input.source(close, title="Source")
This line creates an input field for the user to specify the data source for the EMA calculation. The default value is the closing price of the asset.
// Define the smoothing factor (alpha) for the EMA
alpha = 2 / (length + 1)
This line calculates the smoothing factor alpha for the EMA. It's a common formula for EMA calculation.
// Initialize a variable to store the previous EMA value
var float prevEMA = na
This line initializes a variable to store the previous EMA value. It's initialized as `na` (not a number), which means it's not yet initialized.
// Calculate the zero-lag EMA
emaValue = na(prevEMA) ? ta.sma(src, length) : (src - prevEMA) * alpha + prevEMA
This line calculates the zero-lag EMA. If `prevEMA` is not a number (which means it's the first calculation), it uses the simple moving average (SMA) as the initial EMA. Otherwise, it uses the standard EMA formula.
// Update the previous EMA value
prevEMA := emaValue
This line updates the `prevEMA` variable with the newly calculated EMA value. The `:=` operator is used to update the variable in Pine Script.
// Calculate the upper and lower bands
dev = mult * ta.stdev(src, length)
upperBand = emaValue + dev
lowerBand = emaValue - dev
These lines calculate the upper and lower bands around the EMA. The bands are calculated by adding and subtracting the product of the multiplier and the standard deviation of the source data over the specified length.
// Plot the bands
p0 = plot(emaValue, color=color.new(color.yellow, 0))
p1 = plot(upperBand, color=color.new(color.yellow, 0))
p2 = plot(lowerBand, color=color.new(color.yellow, 0))
fill(p1, p2, color=color.new(color.fuchsia, 80))
These lines plot the EMA value, upper band, and lower band on the chart. The `fill` function is used to color the area between the upper and lower bands. The `color.new` function is used to create a new color with a specified alpha value (transparency).
In summary, this script creates an indicator that displays the zero-lag EMA and its bands on a trading chart. The user can specify the length of the EMA and the multiplier for the standard deviation. The bands are used to identify potential support and resistance levels for the asset's price.
In the context of the provided Pine Script code, `prevEMA` is a variable used to store the previous value of the Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The EMA is a type of moving average that places a greater weight on the most recent data points. Unlike a simple moving average (SMA), which is an equal-weighted average, the EMA gives more weight to the most recent data points, which can help to smooth out short-term price fluctuations and highlight the long-term trend.
The `prevEMA` variable is used to calculate the current EMA value. When the script runs for the first time, `prevEMA` will be `na` (not a number), indicating that there is no previous EMA value to use in the calculation. In such cases, the script falls back to using the simple moving average (SMA) as the initial EMA value.
Here's a breakdown of the role of `prevEMA`:
1. **Initialization**: On the first bar, `prevEMA` is `na`, so the script uses the SMA of the close price over the specified period as the initial EMA value.
2. **Calculation**: On subsequent bars, `prevEMA` holds the value of the EMA from the previous bar. This value is used in the EMA calculation to give more weight to the most recent data points.
3. **Update**: After calculating the current EMA value, `prevEMA` is updated with the new EMA value so it can be used in the next bar's calculation.
The purpose of `prevEMA` is to maintain the state of the EMA across different bars, ensuring that the EMA calculation is not reset to the SMA on each new bar. This is crucial for the EMA to function properly and to avoid the "lag" that can sometimes be associated with moving averages, especially when the length of the moving average is short.
In the provided script, `prevEMA` is used to simulate a zero-lag EMA, but as mentioned earlier, there is no such thing as a zero-lag EMA in the traditional sense. The EMA already has a very minimal lag due to its recursive nature, and any attempt to reduce the lag further would likely not be accurate or reliable for trading purposes.
Please note that the script provided is a conceptual example and may not be suitable for actual trading without further testing and validation.
[UST] Protein+Support/Resistance Script: A Comprehensive Overview
Thanks to Pmgjiv for providing the foundation to this improved Version.
In the world of trading, having a robust support and resistance analysis tool can make a significant difference in decision-making and overall strategy. Let's delve into the enhancements made to the support/resistance script and how each component contributes to a trader's arsenal:
Changes and improvements made for the script to help Traders make better rational decisions in their Trading:
1. Multiple Timeframes:
Integrating multiple timeframes into the analysis provides a multi-dimensional view of the market. Traders can now assess price action across different time horizons simultaneously. This feature allows for a deeper understanding of market dynamics and helps in identifying significant support and resistance levels across various timeframes.
2. Timeframe Labels Inside Zones:
By including timeframe labels within the zones, traders can easily identify the origin of each support or resistance level. This contextual information enhances clarity and facilitates more informed decision-making, especially when navigating through multiple timeframes.
3. Visual Zone Update:
Visual updates on zones enable traders to track changes in support and resistance levels in real-time. This dynamic feature enhances the analytical process by providing immediate insights into evolving market conditions, thereby enabling traders to adapt their strategies accordingly.
4. Zones Hit:
Understanding the frequency and intensity of zone hits offers valuable insights into the strength and relevance of support and resistance levels. Traders can gauge the significance of each zone based on its historical interaction with price, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of market sentiment and potential trading opportunities.
5. Option to Turn off Current Timeframe:
The ability to toggle off the current timeframe streamlines chart analysis by focusing only on the most critical support and resistance zones. This decluttering feature helps traders prioritize key levels, reducing cognitive overload and enhancing decision-making efficiency.
Explanation of Additional Functions:
a. Lookback:
The 'lookback' parameter allows traders to customize the age of support and resistance zones based on their trading style and preferences. By adjusting the lookback setting, traders can choose whether to prioritize recent price action or consider historical data, thus tailoring the analysis to their specific trading strategies.
b. Swinglength:
Swinglength determines the sensitivity of the support and resistance zones. By modifying this parameter, traders can control how aggressively the script identifies pivot points. A higher swinglength value results in smoother, more stable zones, whereas a lower value increases sensitivity, capturing smaller price movements.
c. ZigZag Indicator:
The ZigZag indicator plays a pivotal role in identifying significant price reversals. Its period setting determines the number of price bars considered before confirming a pivot point. Traders can utilize this indicator to identify key turning points in the market, aiding in the identification of robust support and resistance levels.
Impact of Sensitivity on Zones:
Adjusting the sensitivity of the ZigZag indicator directly influences the identification and delineation of support and resistance zones. Higher sensitivity levels result in fewer but more robust zones, capturing significant price movements. Conversely, lower sensitivity levels yield more zones, accommodating smaller price fluctuations but potentially introducing noise into the analysis.
d. S/R Range:
The ability to adjust the width of support and resistance zones allows traders to customize the breadth of key areas on a chart. Choosing a wider range encompasses a broader spectrum of prices, thereby identifying more comprehensive support and resistance levels. This flexibility enables traders to adapt their analysis to different market conditions and trading strategies.
Utilization in Trading:
Comprehensive Analysis: By incorporating multiple timeframes, traders gain a holistic view of market dynamics, enabling them to identify high-probability trading opportunities across various horizons.
Contextual Understanding: Timeframe labels within zones provide context, helping traders understand the significance of each level in relation to different timeframes and market conditions.
Real-time Adaptability: Visual zone updates facilitate real-time analysis, allowing traders to adjust their strategies promptly in response to changing market conditions.
Informed Decision-making: By considering zone hits, traders can assess the strength and relevance of support and resistance levels, enhancing their ability to make informed trading decisions.
Customized Analysis: Adjustable parameters such as lookback, swinglength, and sensitivity empower traders to tailor the analysis to their individual trading styles and preferences, enhancing precision and effectiveness.
In summary, these enhancements to the support/resistance script provide traders with a powerful toolkit for analyzing market dynamics, identifying key levels, and executing well-informed trading strategies across various timeframes and market conditions.
MACD_RSI_trend_followingINFO:
This indicator can be used to build-up a strategy for trading of assets which are currently in trending phase.
My preference is to use it on slowly moving assets like GOLD and on higher timeframes, but practice may show that we find more usefull cases.
This script uses two indicators - MACD and RSI, as the timeframe that those are extracted for is configurable (defaults with the Chart TF, but can be any other selected by the user).
The strategy has the following simple idea - buy if any if the conditions below is true:
The selected TF MACD line crosses above the signal line and the TF RSI is above the user selected trigger value
The selected TF MACD line is above the signal line and the TF RSI crosses above the user selected trigger value
Once we're in position we wait for the selected TF MACD line to cross below the signal line, and then we set a SL at the low of that bar
DETAILS and USAGE:
In the current implementation I find two possible use cases for the indicator:
as a stand-alone indicator on the chart which can also fire alerts that can help to determine if we want to manually enter/exit trades based on them
can be used to connect to the Signal input of the TTS (TempalteTradingStrategy) by jason5480 in order to backtest it, thus effectively turning it into a strategy (instructions below in TTS CONNECTIVITY section)
In the example below we see a position opened at the bar after the buy indicator from the script has been triggered, and then later after the SL indicator from the script has been triggered a SL has been set on the lower wick of the closing candle, and the position eventually got closed once the price hit that level. Note that most of the drawing on the example snapshot below are from the TTS indicator following the buy/sell/SL conditions themseves:
Trading period can be selected from the indicator itself to limit to more interesting periods.
Arrow indications are drawn on the chart to indicate the trading conditions met in the script - green arrow for a buy signal indication and orange for LTF crossunder to indicate setting of SL.
SETTINGS:
Leaving all of the settings as in vanilla use case, as both the MACD and RSI indicator's settings follow the default ones for the stand-alone indicators themselves.
The start-end date is a time filter that can be extermely usefull when backtesting different time periods.
Pesonal preference is using the script on a D/W timeframe, while the indicator is configured to use Monthly chart.
The default value of the RSI filter is left to 50, which can be changed. I.e. if the RSI is above 50 we have a regime filter based on the MACD criteria.
EXTERNAL LIBRARIES:
The script uses a couple of external libraries:
HeWhoMustNotBeNamed/enhanced_ta/14 - collection of TA indicators
jason5480/tts_convention/3 - more details about the Template Trading Strategy below
I would like to highly appreciate and credit the work of both HeWhoMustNotBeNamed and jason5480 for providing them to the community.
TTS SETTINGS (NEEDED IF USED TO BACKTEST WITH TTS):
The TempalteTradingStrategy is a strategy script developed in Pine by jason5480, which I recommend for quick turn-around of testing different ideas on a proven and tested framework
I cannot give enough credit to the developer for the efforts put in building of the infrastructure, so I advice everyone that wants to use it first to get familiar with the concept and by checking
by checking jason5480's profile www.tradingview.com
The TTS itself is extremely functional and have a lot of properties, so its functionality is beyond the scope of the current script -
Again, I strongly recommend to be thoroughly epxlored by everyone that plans on using it.
In the nutshell it is a script that can be feed with buy/sell signals from an external indicator script and based on many configuration options it can determine how to execute the trades.
The TTS has many settings that can be applied, so below I will cover only the ones that differ from the default ones, at least according to my testing - do your own research, you may find something even better :)
The current/latest version that I've been using as of writing and testing this script is TTSv48
Settings which differ from the default ones:
from - False (time filter is from the indicator script itself)
Deal Conditions Mode - External (take enter/exit conditions from an external script)
🔌Signal 🛈➡ - MACD_RSI_trend_following: 🔌Signal to TTSv48 (this is the output from the indicator script, according to the TTS convention)
Sat/Sun - true (for crypto, in order to trade 24/7)
Order Type - STOP (perform stop order)
Distance Method - HHLL (HigherHighLowerLow - in order to set the SL according to the strategy definition from above)
The next are just personal preferenes, you can feel free to experiment according to your trading style
Take Profit Targets - 0 (either 100% in or out, no incremental stepping in or out of positions)
Dist Mul|Len Long/Short- 10 (make sure that we don't close on profitable trades by any reason)
Quantity Method - EQUITY (personal backtesting preference is to consider each backtest as a separate portfolio, so determine the position size by 100% of the allocated equity size)
Equity % - 100 (note above)
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

RSI with J-Line ***For ease of use, I recommend changing the J Histogram to a line indicator, then it works like the KDJ Stochastic indicator. Full disclosure, I created this script with the help of GPT. This script was inspired by the KDJ Stochastic indicator by Dreadblitz***
The "RSI with J-Line" script is essentially a modified Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator with an added histogram component. Here's how to use the different components of the script:
RSI Line (Blue): The RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It oscillates between zero and 100, and is typically used to identify overbought and oversold conditions in a market. Traditionally, readings over 70 are considered overbought, and readings under 30 are considered oversold. However, these are not strict rules and can vary depending on the market and the overall trend.
RSI Smooth Line (Orange): This is the simple moving average of the RSI. It helps to smooth out the RSI and to identify the overall trend of the momentum. When the RSI line crosses above the RSI Smooth line, it might indicate that the momentum is moving upwards. When the RSI line crosses below the RSI Smooth line, it might indicate that the momentum is moving downwards.
RSI J-Line (Red Histogram): The J-Line is an additional line that's calculated as 3*rsiSmooth - 2*rsi. It's similar to the %J line in the Stochastic indicator and is designed to provide quicker signals than the RSI or RSI Smooth line. When the histogram is above the 0 line, it might indicate bullish momentum. When it's below the 0 line, it might indicate bearish momentum.
Please note that these interpretations are standard for these types of indicators, but actual market behavior can be complex and is influenced by many factors. Indicators should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy, not in isolation. Always take into account other market information and indicators before making trading decisions.
Relative Trend Index (RTI) by Zeiierman█ Overview
The Relative Trend Index (RTI) developed by Zeiierman is an innovative technical analysis tool designed to measure the strength and direction of the market trend. Unlike some traditional indicators, the RTI boasts a distinctive ability to adapt and respond to market volatility, while still minimizing the effects of minor, short-term market fluctuations.
The Relative Trend Index blends trend-following and mean-reverting characteristics, paired with a customizable and intuitive approach to trend strength, and its sensitivity to price action makes this indicator stand out.
█ Benefits of using this RTI instead of RSI
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Relative Trend Index (RTI) are both powerful technical indicators, each with its own unique strengths.
However, there are key differences that make the RTI arguably more sophisticated and precise, especially when it comes to identifying trends and overbought/oversold (OB/OS) areas.
The RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements and is typically used to identify overbought and oversold conditions in a market. However, its primary limitation lies in its tendency to produce false signals during extended trending periods.
On the other hand, the RTI is designed specifically to identify and adapt to market trends. Instead of solely focusing on price changes, the RTI measures the relative positioning of the current closing price within its recent range, providing a more comprehensive view of market conditions.
The RTI's adaptable nature is particularly valuable. The user-adjustable sensitivity percentage allows traders to fine-tune the indicator's responsiveness, making it more resilient to sudden market fluctuations and noise that could otherwise produce false signals. This feature is advantageous in various market conditions, from trending to choppy and sideways-moving markets.
Furthermore, the RTI's unique method of defining OB/OS zones takes into account the prevailing trend, which can provide a more precise reflection of the market's condition.
While the RSI is an invaluable tool in many traders' toolkits, the RTI's unique approach to trend identification, adaptability, and enhanced definition of OB/OS zones can provide traders with a more nuanced understanding of market conditions and potential trading opportunities. This makes the RTI an especially powerful tool for those seeking to ride long-term trends and avoid false signals.
█ Calculations
In summary, while simple enough, the math behind the RTI indicator is quite powerful. It combines the quantification of price volatility with the flexibility to adjust the trend sensitivity. It provides a normalized output that can be interpreted consistently across various trading scenarios.
The math behind the Relative Trend Index (RTI) indicator is rooted in some fundamental statistical concepts: Standard Deviation and Percentiles.
Standard Deviation: The Standard Deviation is a measure of dispersion or variability in a dataset. It quantifies the degree to which each data point deviates from the mean (or average) of the data set. In this script, the standard deviation is computed on the 'close' prices over a specified number of periods. This provides a measure of the volatility in the price over that period. The higher the standard deviation, the more volatile the price has been.
Percentiles: The percentile is a measure used in statistics indicating the value below which a given percentage of observations in a group falls. After calculating the upper and lower trends for the last 'length' periods and sorting these values, the script uses the 'Sensitivity ' parameter to extract percentiles from these sorted arrays. This is a powerful concept because it allows us to adjust the sensitivity of our signals. By choosing different percentiles (controlled through the 'Sensitivity' parameter), we can decide whether we want to react only to extreme events (high percentiles) or be more reactive and consider smaller deviations from the norm as significant (lower percentiles).
Finally, the script calculates the Relative Trend Index value, which is essentially a normalized measure indicating where the current price falls between the upper and lower trend values. This simple ratio is incredibly powerful as it provides a standardized measure that can be used across different securities and market conditions to identify potential trading signals.
Core Components
Trend Data Count: This parameter denotes the number of data points used in the RTI's calculation, determining the trend length. A higher count captures a more extended market view (long-term trend), providing smoother results that are more resistant to sudden market changes. In contrast, a lower count focuses on more recent data (short-term trend), yielding faster responses to market changes, albeit at the cost of increased susceptibility to market noise.
Trend Sensitivity Percentage: This parameter is employed to select the indices within the trend arrays used for upper and lower trend definitions. By adjusting this value, users can affect the sensitivity of the trend, with higher percentages leading to a less sensitive trend.
█ How to use
The RTI plots a line that revolves around a mid-point of 50. When the RTI is above 50, it implies that the market trend is bullish (upward), and when it's below 50, it indicates a bearish (downward) trend. Furthermore, the farther the RTI deviates from the 50 line, the stronger the trend is perceived to be.
Bullish
Bearish
The RTI includes user-defined Overbought and Oversold levels. These thresholds suggest potential trading opportunities when they are crossed, serving as a cue for traders to possibly buy or sell. This gives the RTI an additional use case as a mean-reversion tool, in addition to being a trend-following indicator.
In short
Trend Confirmation and Reversals: If the percentage trend value is consistently closer to the upper level, it can indicate a strong uptrend. Similarly, if it's closer to the lower level, a downtrend may be in play. If the percentage trend line begins to move away from one trend line towards the other, it could suggest a potential trend reversal.
Identifying Overbought and Oversold Conditions: When the percentage trend value reaches the upper trend line (signified by a value of 1), it suggests an overbought condition - i.e., the price has been pushed up, perhaps too far, and could be due for a pullback, or indicating a strong positive trend. Conversely, when the percentage trend value hits the lower trend line (a value of 0), it indicates an oversold condition - the price may have been driven down and could be set to rebound, or indicate a strong negative trend. Traders often use these overbought and oversold signals as contrarian indicators, considering them potential signs to sell (in overbought conditions) or buy (in oversold conditions). If the RTI line remains overbought or oversold for an extended period, it indicates a strong trend in that direction.
█ Settings
One key feature of the RTI is its configurability. It allows users to set the trend data length and trend sensitivity.
The trend data length represents the number of data points used in the trend calculation. A longer trend data length will reflect a more long-term trend, whereas a shorter trend data length will capture short-term movements.
Trend sensitivity refers to the threshold for determining what constitutes a significant trend. High sensitivity levels will deem fewer price movements as significant, hence making the trend less sensitive. Conversely, low sensitivity levels will deem more price movements as significant, hence making the trend more sensitive.

Psychological levels (Bank levels) PsychoLevels v3 - TartigradiaPsychological levels (Bank levels) plots the closest "round" price levels above and below current price, based on neuroscience research of how humans intuitively calculate in logarithms.
Psychological levels, also called bank levels, are "round" price numbers, by truncating after the nth leftmost digits, around which price often experience resistance or support, because traders and investors tend to set orders around these round numbers.
The calculation done here is fully automatic and dynamic, contrary to other similar scripts, this one uses a mathematical calculation that extracts the 1, 2 or 3 leftmost digits and calculate the previous and next level by incrementing/decrementing these digits. This means it works for any symbol under any price range.
This approach is based on neuroscience research, which found that human brains intuitively approximate numbers on a logarithmic scale, adults and children alike, and similarly to macaques, for more info see Numerical Cognition , Weber-Fechner Law , Zipf law .
For example, if price is at 0.0421, the next major price level is 0.05 and medium one is 0.043. For another asset currently priced at 19354, the next and previous major price levels are 20000 and 10000 respectively, and the next/previous medium levels are 20000 and 19000, and the next/previous weak levels are 19400 and 19300.
IMPORTANT: Please enable "Scale price chart only" in the chart's scale's options, as otherwise major levels may make the chart's scale very small and hard to read.
How it works
At any time, there are 3 levels of strength (1 leftmost digit, 2 leftmost digits, 3 leftmost digits) represented by different sizes, and 3 directional levels for each of these strengths (level above, level below, and half-level) represented by different colors and positions, around current price.
Indeed, contrary to other similar price levels scripts, we do not plot ALL price levels at all times, because otherwise the chart becomes wayyy too cluttered, and also it's highly processing intensive to plot so many lines. So we here use a dynamical approach: we plot only the relevant levels, the closest ones according to current price.
Hence, when a level disappears, it does not mean that it does not exist anymore, but simply that we are not drawing it right now because it is not pertinent for the current price movement (ie, too far away).
Breakouts can be detected in two different ways depending on if SMA is set to a value higher than 1 or not: if SMA == 1, then there is no smoothing, so the levels adapt instantaneously to the current price, so to detect breakout, you should refer to the levels at the previous tick and whether they were broken by current tick's price; if SMA > 1, then there is some smoothing, and so the levels will stay in-place even if there is a breakout, so it's easier to spot breakouts without having to look at the previous ticks, but on the other hand you won't see the new levels for the new price range until after a few more ticks for the smoothing window to adapt. Hence, by default, smoothing is disabled, so that you can see the currently pertinent levels at all time, even right after or during a breakout.
By default, the strong above level is in green, strong below level is in red, medium above level is in blue, medium below level is in yellow, and weak levels aren't displayed but can be. Half levels are also displayed, in a darker color. Strong levels are increments of the first leftmost digit (eg, 10000 to 20000), medium levels are increments of the second leftmost digit (eg, 19000 to 20000), and weak levels of the third leftmost digit (eg, 19100 to 19200). Instead of plotting all the psychological levels all at once as a grid, which makes the chart unintelligible, here the levels adapt dynamically around the current price, so that they show the above/below/half levels relatively to the current price.
Indeed, "half-levels" are also displayed (eg, medium level can also display 19500 instead of only 19000 or 20000). This was made because otherwise the gap between two levels was too big, especially for the strongest levels (eg, there was no major level between 20000 and 30000, but with a half-step we also get a half-level at 25000, and empirically price tends to respect these half levels - I also tried quarter levels but empirically the results were not good). In addition to this hard-coded half-level, you can also create more subdivisions (eg, quarter levels) by setting the simple moving average to a value higher than 1.
The script can be made to run on the daily timeframe whatever the current chart's timeframe is, to reduce the variability in levels, to make it less noisy than intraday price movement. But by default, the chart resolution is used, because I empirically found that the levels found with this indicator work on all time resolutions quite well.
The step can be adjusted to increase the gap between levels, eg, if you want to display one every 2 levels then input step = 2 (eg, 22000, 24000, 26000, etc), or if you want to display quarter levels, input 0.25 (eg, 22000, 22250, 22500, etc). The default values should fit most use cases and cover most psychological levels.
How to read
Focust first on bigger dotted levels, they are stronger and more likely to cause a rebound or a major event or price to stay at this level.
Remember that it's not enough to just look at levels, the context is important, because levels have various effects depending on current price movement: if price is above a level, the level is a support on which price can rebound; if price is below a level, the level is a resistance on which price can rebound (or break); and finally sometimes price also stays hovering around a level for some time.
Levels closer to 9 are less weaker, and levels closer to 0 are stronger, according to Zipf law. This is now reflected since v3 in the transparency, levels that are closer to 9 will be more transparent.
The switch in color for the same level illustrates how a level switches from being a support to a resistance and inversely. Eg, if a major level turns from green to red, then it changed from being a resistance (above) to a support (below).
As is well known in trading, longer standing levels are stronger. This indicator provides a direct illustration: in practice, the number of consecutive dots on the same line influences the strength of the level: the longer the chain of dots, the more you can expect this price level to be significant. The length does not mean the level will necessarily hold, but that other traders are likely to monitor if it holds, and if not then price will break down. Hence, longer levels are good spots to place stop losses, or to enter trades depending on your strategy. In general, a single dot is not enough to consider a level significant, but 2 or more is a good enough level, and 10+ is a strong level. Intuitively, this makes sense, and is what pro traders do: the longer a level is tested, the stronger it is. This indicator can visually represent this intuition and allows to use it as a more systematic trading signal.
Motivation
I initially made the first version of the PsychoLevels indicator mainly to train with PineScript, but I found it surprisingly accurate to define levels that are respected by price movements. So I guess it can be useful for new traders and experienced traders alike, as it's easy to forget that psychological levels can often be as strong if not stronger than technical levels. It can also be used to quickly screen other minor assets for trading opportunities. For example, a hybrid strategy would be to manually define levels on BTCUSD but using this script to automatically define levels in crypto altcoins and quickly screen them for a trade opportunity that can be greater than with BTCUSD but with the same trend.
Personally, although initially I did not believe an automated tool would work well for this purpose, I could now empirically verify that it is quite reliable for the purpose of detecting levels, and so I use it all the time to find the levels automatically and help me monitor them like a hawk, so that I only have to draw uber major levels, the ones that last between cycles and that are hard to autodetect, but otherwise all daily/weekly levels are usually covered. However, trendlines must still be drawn manually or with another indicator (but note that up to now I have found none that worked well enough), as PsychoLevels only draws levels (ie, horizontal lines, not oblique ones!).
Differences with the previous version PsychoLevels v2
price levels now have a transparency according to their importance for the human brain: numbers closer to 9 are weaker, and numbers closer to 0 are stronger and represent a major psychological threshold (eg, that's why prices marked as $9.99 sell better than $10.00). This option can be disabled to get the exact same behavior as v2.
