Trend Catch STFR - whipsaw Reduced### Summary of the Setup
This trading system combines **SuperTrend** (a trend-following indicator based on ATR for dynamic support/resistance), **Range Filter** (a smoothed median of the last 100 candles to identify price position relative to a baseline), and filters using **VIX Proxy** (a volatility measure: (14-period ATR / 14-period SMA of Close) × 100) and **ADX** (Average Directional Index for trend strength). It's designed for trend trading with volatility safeguards.
- **Entries**: Triggered only in "tradeable" markets (VIX Proxy ≥ 15 OR ADX ≥ 20) when SuperTrend aligns with direction (green for long, red for short), price crosses the Range Filter median accordingly, and you're not already in that position.
- **Exits**: Purely price-based—exit when SuperTrend flips or price crosses back over the Range Filter median. No forced exits from low volatility/trend.
- **No Trade Zone**: Blocks new entries if both VIX Proxy < 15 AND ADX < 20, but doesn't affect open positions.
- **Overall Goal**: Enter trends with confirmed strength/volatility, ride them via price action, and avoid ranging/choppy markets for new trades.
This creates a filtered trend-following strategy that prioritizes quality entries while letting winners run.
### Advantages
- **Reduces Noise in Entries**: The VIX Proxy and ADX filters ensure trades only in volatile or strongly trending conditions, avoiding low-momentum periods that often lead to false signals.
- **Lets Winners Run**: Exits based solely on price reversal (SuperTrend or Range Filter) allow positions to stay open during temporary lulls in volatility/trend, potentially capturing longer moves.
- **Simple and Balanced**: Combines trend (SuperTrend/ADX), range (Filter), and volatility (VIX Proxy) without overcomplicating—easy to backtest and adapt to assets like stocks, forex, or crypto.
- **Adaptable to Markets**: The "OR" logic for VIX/ADX provides flexibility (e.g., enters volatile sideways markets if ADX is low, or steady trends if VIX is low).
- **Risk Control**: Implicitly limits exposure by blocking entries in calm markets, which can preserve capital during uncertainty.
### Disadvantages
- **Whipsaws in Choppy Markets**: As you noted, SuperTrend can flip frequently in ranging conditions, leading to quick entries/exits and small losses, especially if the Range Filter isn't smoothing enough noise.
- **Missed Opportunities**: Strict filters (e.g., requiring VIX ≥ 15 or ADX ≥ 20) might skip early-stage trends or low-volatility grinds, reducing trade frequency and potential profits in quiet bull/bear markets.
- **Lagging Exits**: Relying only on price flips means you might hold losing trades longer if volatility drops without a clear reversal, increasing drawdowns.
- **Parameter Sensitivity**: Values like VIX 15, ADX 20, or Range Filter's 100-candle lookback need tuning per asset/timeframe; poor choices could amplify whipsaws or over-filter.
- **No Built-in Risk Management**: Lacks explicit stops/targets, so it relies on user-added rules (e.g., ATR-based stops), which could lead to oversized losses if not implemented.
### How to Use It
This system can be implemented in platforms like TradingView (via Pine Script), Python (e.g., with TA-Lib or Pandas), or MT4/5. Here's a step-by-step guide, assuming TradingView for simplicity—adapt as needed. (If coding in Python, use libraries like pandas_ta for indicators.)
1. **Set Up Indicators**:
- Add SuperTrend (default: ATR period 10, multiplier 3—adjust as suggested in prior tweaks).
- Create Range Filter: Use a 100-period SMA of (high + low)/2, smoothed (e.g., via EMA if desired).
- Calculate VIX Proxy: Custom script for (ATR(14) / SMA(close, 14)) * 100.
- Add ADX (period 14, standard).
2. **Define Rules in Code/Script**:
- **Long Entry**: If SuperTrend direction < 0 (green), close > RangeFilterMedian, (VIX Proxy ≥ 15 OR ADX ≥ 20), and not already long—buy on bar close.
- **Short Entry**: If SuperTrend direction > 0 (red), close < RangeFilterMedian, (VIX Proxy ≥ 15 OR ADX ≥ 20), and not already short—sell short.
- **Exit Long**: If in long and (SuperTrend > 0 OR close < RangeFilterMedian)—sell.
- **Exit Short**: If in short and (SuperTrend < 0 OR close > RangeFilterMedian)—cover.
- Monitor No Trade Zone visually (e.g., plot yellow background when VIX < 15 AND ADX < 20).
3. **Backtest and Optimize**:
- Use historical data on your asset (e.g., SPY on 1H chart).
- Test metrics: Win rate, profit factor, max drawdown. Adjust thresholds (e.g., ADX to 25) to reduce whipsaws.
- Forward-test on demo account to validate.
4. **Live Trading**:
- Apply to a chart, set alerts for entries/exits.
- Add risk rules: Position size 1-2% of capital, stop-loss at SuperTrend line.
- Monitor manually or automate via bots—avoid overtrading; use on trending assets.
For the adjustments I suggested earlier (e.g., ADX 25, 2-bar confirmation), integrate them into entries only—test one at a time to isolate improvements. If whipsaws persist, combine 2-3 tweaks.

Unicorn Trade Indicator - Enhanced V1This code also contains pinescripts from iFVG (BPR) by Algorize and Visualizing displacement by tradeforopp who have kindly provided them as open source.
An ICT Unicorn is where a breaker block is traded through which incorporates a fair value gap. I decided to code this indicator as I couldn't find an existing free indicator on Trading View that performed adequately.
This indicator will highlight breaker blocks and when broken will post an Unicorn emoji and send an alert if requested. The last 3 breaker blocks are displayed, the prior boxes are labled PBB and are shown as red for bearish and green for bullish. After the main Unicorn is posted, the code continues to mark market structure shifts.
As all trading strategies work better with confluence I have added several other features which is very useful for people who are restricted on the number of indicators that can place on a single chart.
I have added iFVG (BPR) by Algoryze and Visualizing displacement by tradeforopp which have kindly been made open source by the authors. My thanks to them for their hard work.
Unicorn alerts will only be sent when a yellow displacement candle ( from the Visualizing displacement code) is present along with the Unicorn as this is the best type of Unicorn to trade.
The number of fvg's and bpr's from the code by Algoryze can be adjusted in the settings.
Also to add confluence I have used my own code to display liquidity depth boxes made popular by toodegrees.
I hope you find this indicator useful.
saodisengxiaoyu-lianghua-2.1- This indicator is a modular, signal-building framework designed to generate long and short signals by combining a chosen leading indicator with selectable confirmation filters. It runs on Pine Script version 5, overlays directly on price, and is built to be highly configurable so traders can tailor the signal logic to their market, timeframe, and trading style. It includes a dashboard to visualize which conditions are active and whether they validate a signal, and it outputs clear buy/sell labels and alert conditions so you can automate or monitor trades with confidence.
Core Design
- Leading Indicator: You choose one primary signal generator from a broad list (for example, Range Filter, Supertrend, MACD, RSI, Ichimoku, and many others). This serves as the anchor of the system and determines when a preliminary long or short setup exists.
- Confirmation Filters: You can enable additional filters that validate the leading signal before it becomes actionable. Each “respect…” input toggles a filter on or off. These filters include popular tools like EMA, 2/3 EMA crosses, RQK (Nadaraya Watson), ADX/DMI, Bollinger-based oscillators, MACD variations, QQE, Hull, VWAP, Choppiness Index, Damiani Volatility, and more.
- Signal Expiry: To avoid waiting indefinitely for confirmations, the indicator counts how many consecutive bars the leading condition holds. If confirmations do not align within a defined number of bars, the setup expires. This controls latency and helps reduce late or stale entries.
- Alternating Signals: An optional mode enforces alternation (long must follow short and vice versa), helping avoid repeated entries in the same direction without a meaningful reset.
- Aggregation Logic: The final long/short conditions are formed by combining the leading condition with all selected confirmation filters through logical conjunction. Only if all enabled filters validate the signal (within expiry constraints) does the indicator consider it a confirmed long or short.
- Visualization and Alerts: The script plots buy/sell labels at signal points, provides alert conditions for automation, and displays a compact dashboard summarizing the leading indicator’s status and each confirmation’s pass/fail result using checkmarks.
Leading Indicator Options
- The indicator includes a very large menu of leading tools, each with its own logic to determine uptrend or downtrend impulses. Highlights include:
- Range Filter: Uses a dynamic centerline and bands computed via conditional EMA/SMA and range sizing to define directional movement. It can operate in a default mode or an alternative “DW” mode.
- Rational Quadratic Kernel (RQK): Applies a kernel smoothing model (Nadaraya Watson) to detect uptrends and downtrends with a focus on noise reduction.
- Supertrend, Half Trend, SSL Channel: Classic trend-following tools that derive direction from ATR-based bands or moving average channels.
- Ichimoku Cloud and SuperIchi: Multi-component systems validating trend via cloud position, conversion/base line relationships, projected cloud, and lagging span.
- TSI (True Strength Index), DPO (Detrended Price Oscillator), AO (Awesome Oscillator), MACD, STC (Schaff Trend Cycle), QQE Mod: Momentum and cycle tools that parse direction from crossovers, zero-line behavior, and momentum shifts.
- Donchian Trend Ribbon, Chandelier Exit: Trend and exit tools that can validate breakouts or sustained trend strength.
- ADX/DMI: Measures trend strength and directional movement via +DI/-DI relationships and minimum ADX thresholds.
- RSI and Stochastic: Use crossovers, level exits, or threshold filters to gate entries based on overbought/oversold dynamics or relative strength trends.
- Vortex, Chaikin Money Flow, VWAP, Bull Bear Power, ROC, Wolfpack Id, Hull Suite: A diverse set of directional, momentum, and volume-based indicators to suit different markets and styles.
- Trendline Breakout and Range Detector: Price-behavior filters that confirm signals during breakouts or within defined ranges.
Confirmation Filters
- Each filter is optional. When enabled, it must validate the leading condition for a signal to pass. Examples:
- EMA Filter: Requires price to be above a specified EMA for longs and below for shorts, filtering signals that contradict broader trend or baseline levels.
- 2 EMA Cross and 3 EMA Cross: Enforce moving average cross conditions (fast above slow for long, the reverse for short) or a three-line stacking logic for more stringent trend alignment.
- RQK, Supertrend, Half Trend, Donchian, QQE, Hull, MACD (crossover vs. zero-line), AO (zero line or AC momentum variants), SSL: Each adds its characteristic validation pattern.
- RSI family (MA cross, exits OB/OS zones, threshold levels) plus RSI MA direction and RSI/RSI MA limits: Multiple ways to constrain signals via relative strength behavior and trajectories.
- Choppiness Index and Damiani Volatility: Prevent entries during ranging conditions or insufficient volatility; choppiness thresholds and volatility states gate the trade.
- VWAP, Volume modes (above MA, simple up/down, delta), Chaikin Money Flow: Volume and flow conditions that ensure signals happen in supportive liquidity or accumulation/distribution contexts.
- ADX/DMI thresholds: Demand a minimum trend strength and directional DI alignment to reduce whipsaw trades.
- Trendline Breakout and Range Detector: Confirm that the price is breaking structure or remains within active range consistent with the leading setup.
- By combining several filters you can create strict, conservative entries or looser setups depending on your goals.
Range Filter Engine
- A core building block, the Range Filter uses conditional EMA and SMA functions to compute adaptive bands around a dynamic centerline. It supports two types:
- Type 1: The centerline updates when price exceeds the band thresholds; bands define acceptable drift ranges.
- Type 2: Uses quantized steps (via floor operations) relative to the previous centerline to handle larger moves in discrete increments.
- The engine offers smoothing for range values using a secondary EMA and can switch between raw and averaged outputs. Its hi/lo bands and centerline compose a corridor that defines directional movement and potential breakout confirmation.
Signal Construction
- The script computes:
- leadinglongcond and leadingshortcond : The primary directional signals from the chosen leading indicator.
- longCond and shortCond : Final signals formed by combining the leading conditions with all enabled confirmations. Each confirmation contributes a boolean gate. If a filter is disabled, it contributes a neutral pass-through, keeping the logic intact without enforcing that condition.
- Expiry Logic: The code counts consecutive bars where the leading condition remains true. If confirmations do not line up within the user-defined “Signal Expiry Candle Count,” the setup is abandoned and the signal does not trigger.
- Alternation: An optional state ensures that long and short signals alternate. This can reduce repeated entries in the same direction without a clear reset.
- Finally, longCondition and shortCondition represent the actionable signals after expiry and alternation logic. These drive the label plotting and alert conditions.
Visualization
- Buy and Sell Labels: When longCondition or shortCondition confirm, the script plots annotated labels directly on the chart, making entries easy to see at a glance. The labels use color coding and clear text tags (“long” vs. “short”).
- Dashboard: A table summarizes the status of the leading indicator and all confirmations. Each row shows the indicator label and whether it passed (✔️) or failed (❌) on the current bar. This intensely practical UI helps you diagnose why a signal did or did not trigger, empowering faster strategy iteration and parameter tuning.
- Failed Confirmation Markers: If a setup expires (count exceeds the limit) and confirmations failed to align, the script can mark the chart with a small label and provide a tooltip listing which confirmations did not pass. It’s a helpful audit trail to understand missed trades or prevent “chasing” invalid signals.
- Data Window Values: The script outputs signal states to the data window, which can be useful for debugging or building composite conditions in multi-indicator templates.
Inputs and Parameters
- You control the indicator from a comprehensive input panel:
- Setup: Signal expiry count, whether to enforce alternating signals, and whether to display labels and the dashboard (including position and size).
- Leading Indicator: Choose the primary signal generator from the large list.
- Per-Filter Toggles: For each confirmation, a respect... toggle enables or disables it. Many include sub-options (like MACD type, Stochastic mode, RSI mode, ADX variants, thresholds for choppiness/volatility, etc.) to fine-tune behavior.
- Range Filter Settings: Choose type and behavior; select default vs. DW mode and smoothing. The underlying functions adjust band sizes using ATR, average change, standard deviation, or user-defined scales.
- Because everything is customizable, you can adapt the indicator to different assets, volatility regimes, and timeframes.
Alerts and Automation
- The script defines alert conditions tied to longCondition and shortCondition . You can set these alerts in your chart to trigger notifications or webhook calls for automated execution in external bots. The alert text is simple, and you can configure your own message template when creating alerts in the chart, including JSON payloads for algorithmic integration.
Typical Workflow
- Select a Leading Indicator aligned with your style. For trend following, Supertrend or SSL may be appropriate; for momentum, MACD or TSI; for range/trend-change detection, Range Filter, RQK, or Donchian.
- Add a few key Confirmation Filters that complement the leading signal. For example:
- Pair Supertrend with EMA Filter and RSI MA Direction to ensure trend alignment and positive momentum.
- Combine MACD Crossover with ADX/DMI and Volume Above MA to avoid signals in low-trend or low-liquidity conditions.
- Use RQK with Choppiness Index and Damiani Volatility to only act when the market is trending and volatile enough.
- Set a sensible Signal Expiry Candle Count. Shorter expiry keeps entries timely and reduces lag; longer expiry captures setups that mature slowly.
- Observe the Dashboard during live markets to see which filters pass or fail, then iterate. Tighten or loosen thresholds and filter combinations as needed.
- For automation, turn on alerts for the final conditions and use webhook payloads to notify your trading robot.
Strengths and Practical Notes
- Flexibility: The indicator is a toolkit rather than a single rigid model. It lets you test different combinations rapidly and visualize outcomes immediately.
- Clarity: Labels, dashboard, and failed-confirmation markers make it easy to audit behavior and refine settings without digging into code.
- Robustness: The expiry and alternation options add discipline, avoiding the temptation to enter late or repeatedly in one direction without a reset.
- Modular Design: The logical gates (“respect…”) make the behavior transparent: if a filter is on, it must pass; if it’s off, the signal ignores it. This keeps reasoning clean.
- Avoiding Overfitting: Because you can stack many filters, it’s tempting to over-constrain signals. Start simple (one leading indicator and one or two confirmations). Add complexity only if it demonstrably improves your edge across varied market regimes.
Limitations and Recommendations
- No single configuration is universally optimal. Markets change; tune filters for the instrument and timeframe you trade and revisit settings periodically.
- Trend filters can underperform in choppy markets; likewise, momentum filters can false-trigger in quiet periods. Consider using Choppiness Index or Damiani to gate signals by regime.
- Use expiry wisely. Too short may miss good setups that need a few bars to confirm; too long may cause late entries. Balance responsiveness and accuracy.
- Always consider risk management externally (position sizing, stops, profit targets). The indicator focuses on signal quality; combining it with robust trade management methods will improve results.
Example Configurations
- Trend-Following Setup:
- Leading: Supertrend uptrend for longs and downtrend for shorts.
- Confirmations: EMA Filter (price above 200 EMA for long, below for short), ADX/DMI (trend strength above threshold with +DI/-DI alignment), Volume Above MA.
- Expiry: 3–4 bars to keep entries timely.
- Result: Strong bias toward sustained moves while avoiding weak trends and thin liquidity.
- Mean-Reversion to Momentum Crossover:
- Leading: RSI exits from OB/OS zones (e.g., RSI leaves oversold for long and leaves overbought for short).
- Confirmations: 2 EMA Cross (fast crossing slow in the same direction), MACD zero-line behavior for added momentum validation.
- Expiry: 2–3 bars for responsive re-entry.
- Result: Captures momentum transitions after short-term extremes, with extra confirmation to reduce head-fakes.
- Range Breakout Focus:
- Leading: Range Filter Type 2 or Donchian Trend Ribbon to detect breakouts.
- Confirmations: Damiani Volatility (avoid low-volatility false breaks), Choppiness Index (prefer trend-ready states), ROC positive/negative threshold.
- Expiry: 1–3 bars to act on breakout windows.
- Result: Better alignment to breakout dynamics, gating trades by volatility and regime.
Conclusion
- This indicator is a comprehensive, configurable framework that merges a chosen leading signal with an array of corroborating filters, disciplined expiry handling, and intuitive visualization. It’s designed to help you build high-quality entry signals tailored to your approach, whether that’s trend-following, breakout trading, momentum capturing, or a hybrid. By surfacing pass/fail states in a dashboard and allowing alert-based automation, it bridges the gap between discretionary analysis and systematic execution. With sensible parameter tuning and thoughtful filter selection, it can serve as a robust backbone for signal generation across diverse instruments and timeframes.
Major Trading Sessions IndicatorsThis indicator displays vertical lines on your chart to mark the opening times of the major global trading sessions (Tokyo, Shanghai/HK, London, and New York). As a crypto trader I want to find price action patterns after sessions open.
It's fully customizable and extendable (you could add closing time for sessions as well)
Works best on short timeframes.
Features:
6 configurable vertical lines (4 preset for major sessions + 2 custom)
Each line shows a customizable label (e.g., "Tokyo", "London")
Individual time and color settings for each line
UTC offset for each line to handle Daylight Saving Time
Option to fix all labels at a specific price level for cleaner appearance (need to set and save it for each chart, it becomes a mess if you don't). Default behavior and limit of Pine Script is that it will be attached to the price wick.
Default Sessions:
Tokyo: 00:00 UTC (midnight)
Shanghai/HK: 01:30 UTC
London: 08:00 UTC (winter) - adjust offset to +1 for summer
New York: 13:00 UTC (winter) - adjust offset to -4 for summer
DST Adjustments:
Simply change the UTC offset when daylight saving time begins/ends:
London: 0 (winter) or +1 (summer)
New York: -5 (winter) or -4 (summer)
Lines extend from top to bottom of the chart and appear precisely when each session opens.
My preferred configuration: shorten names and reduce opacity of colors to 20-30%.
Match on Selectable Percentage Change + RangeIndicator Overview:
Match on Selectable Percentage Change + Range is a powerful analytical tool designed for traders and analysts who want to identify historical price bars that match a specific percentage variation, and then evaluate how price evolved in the following days. It combines precision filtering with visual tabular feedback, making it ideal for pattern recognition, backtesting, and scenario analysis.
What It Does
This indicator scans historical bars to find instances where the percentage change between two consecutive closes matches a user-defined target (± a customizable tolerance). Once matches are found, it displays:
The date of each match (most recent first)
The actual variation searched
The percentage change after 2, 10, 20, and 30 bars
The min-max range (in %) over those same periods
All results are shown in a dynamic table directly on the chart.
Inputs & Controls
Input Description
Which variation do you want to analyze? (%)
Set the target percentage change to look for (e.g. 2.5%)
% deviation from the variation to be considered (%) Define the tolerance range around the target (e.g. ±0.5%)
Bars to analyze (max 9999) Set how many past bars to scan
Show match table Toggle to enable/disable the entire table
Show percentage variations (2d, 10d, 20d, 30d) Toggle to show/hide post-match percentage changes
Show min-max ranges (2d, 10d, 20d, 30d) Toggle to show/hide post-match high/low ranges
Table Structure
Each row in the table represents a historical match. Columns include:
Date: When the match occurred
Variation in: The actual % change that triggered the match
2d / 10d / 20d / 30d: % change after those days
Min-Max 2d / 10d / 20d / 30d: Range of price movement after those days
Color coding helps quickly identify bullish (green) vs bearish (red) outcomes.
Use Cases
Backtesting: See how similar past moves evolved over time
Scenario modeling: Estimate potential outcomes after a known variation
Pattern recognition: Spot recurring setups or volatility clusters
Risk analysis: Understand post-variation drawdowns and upside potential
Tips for Use
Use tighter deviation (e.g. 0.3%) for precision, or wider (e.g. 1%) for broader pattern capture.
Combine with other indicators to validate setups (e.g. volume, RSI, trend filters).
Toggle off variation or range columns to focus only on the metrics you need.
Inside SwingsOverview
The Inside Swings indicator identifies and visualizes "inside swing" patterns in price action. These patterns occur when price creates a series of pivots that form overlapping ranges, indicating potential consolidation or reversal zones.
What are Inside Swings?
Inside swings are specific pivot patterns where:
- HLHL Pattern: High-Low-High-Low sequence where the first high is higher than the second high, and the first low is lower than the second low
- LHLH Pattern: Low-High-Low-High sequence where the first low is lower than the second low, and the first high is higher than the second high
Here an Example
These patterns create overlapping price ranges that often act as:
- Support/Resistance zones
- Consolidation areas
- Potential reversal points
- Breakout levels
Levels From the Created Range

Swing AURORA v4.0 — Refined Trend Signals### Swing Algo v4.0 — Refined Trend Signals
#### Overview
Swing Algo v4.0 is an advanced technical indicator designed for TradingView, built to detect trend changes and provide actionable buy/sell signals in various market conditions. It combines multiple technical elements like moving averages, ADX for trend strength, Stochastic RSI for timing, and RSI divergence for confirmation, all while adapting to different timeframes through auto-tuning. This indicator overlays on your chart, highlighting trend regimes with background colors, displaying buy/sell labels (including "strong" variants), and offering early "potential" signals for proactive trading decisions. It's suitable for swing trading, trend following, or as a filter for other strategies across forex, stocks, crypto, and other assets.
#### Purpose
The primary goal of Swing Algo v4.0 is to help traders identify high-probability trend reversals and continuations early, reducing noise and false signals. It aims to provide clear, non-repainting signals that align with market structure, volatility, and momentum. By incorporating filters like higher timeframe (HTF) alignment, bias EMAs, and divergence, it refines entries for better accuracy. The indicator emphasizes balanced performance across aggressive, balanced, and conservative modes, making it versatile for both novice and experienced traders seeking to optimize their decision-making process.
#### What It Indicates
- **Trend Regimes (Background Coloring)**: The chart background changes color to reflect the current market regime:
- **Green (Intense for strong uptrends, faded when cooling)**: Indicates bullish trends where price is above the baseline and EMAs are aligned upward.
- **Red/Maroon (Intense maroon for strong downtrends, faded red when cooling)**: Signals bearish trends with price below the baseline and downward EMA alignment.
- **Faded Yellow**: Marks "no-trade" zones or potential trend changes, where conditions are choppy, weak, or neutral (e.g., low ADX, near baseline, or low volatility).
- **Buy/Sell Signals**: Labels appear on the chart for confirmed entries:
- "BUY" or "STRONG BUY" for bullish signals (strong variants require higher scores and optional divergence).
- "SELL" or "STRONG SELL" for bearish signals.
- **Potential Signals**: Early warnings like "Potential BUY" or "Potential SELL" appear before full confirmation, allowing traders to anticipate moves (confirmed after a few bars based on the trigger window).
- **Divergence Marks**: Small "DIV↑" (bullish) or "DIV↓" (bearish) labels highlight RSI divergences on pivots, adding confluence for strong signals.
- **Lines**: Optional plots for baseline (teal), EMA13/21 (lime/red based on crossover), providing visual trend context.
Signals are anchored either to the current bar or confirmed pivots, ensuring alignment with price action. The indicator avoids repainting by confirming on close if enabled.
#### Key Parameters and Customization
Swing Algo v4.0 offers minimal yet efficient parameters for fine-tuning, with defaults optimized for common use cases. Most can be auto-tuned based on timeframe for simplicity:
- **Confirm on Close (no repaint)**: Boolean (default: true) – Ensures signals don't repaint by waiting for bar confirmation.
- **Auto-tune by Timeframe**: Boolean (default: true) – Automatically adjusts lengths and sensitivity for 5-15m, 30-60m, 2-4h, or higher frames.
- **Mode**: String (options: Aggressive, Balanced , Conservative) – Controls signal thresholds; Aggressive for more signals, Conservative for fewer but higher-quality ones.
- **Signal Anchor**: String (options: Pivot (divLB) , Current bar) – Places labels on confirmed pivots or the current bar.
- **Trigger Window (bars)**: Integer (default: 3) – Window for signal timing; auto-tuned if enabled.
- **Baseline Type**: String (options: HMA , EMA, ALMA) – Core trend line; lengths auto-tune (e.g., 55 for short frames).
- **Use Bias EMA Filter**: Boolean (default: false) – Adds a long-term EMA for trend bias.
- **Use HTF Filter**: Boolean (default: false) – Aligns with higher timeframe (auto or manual like 60m, 240m, D); override for stricter scoring.
- **Sensitivity (10–90)**: Integer (default: 55) – Adjusts ADX threshold for trend detection; higher = more sensitive.
- **Use RSI-Stoch Trigger**: Boolean (default: true) – Enables Stochastic RSI for entry timing; customizable lengths, smooths, and levels.
- **Use RSI Divergence for STRONG**: Boolean (default: true) – Requires divergence for strong signals; pivot lookback (default: 5).
- **Visual Options**: Booleans for background regime, labels, divergence marks, and lines (all default: true).
These parameters are grouped for ease, with tooltips in TradingView for quick reference. Start with defaults and tweak based on backtesting.
#### How It Works
At its core, Swing Algo v4.0 calculates a baseline (e.g., HMA) to define the trend direction. It then scores potential buys/sells using factors like:
- **Trend Strength**: ADX above a dynamic threshold, combined with EMA crossovers (13/21) and slope analysis.
- **Volatility/Volume**: Bollinger/Keltner squeeze exits, volume z-score, and ATR filters to avoid choppy markets.
- **Timing**: Stochastic RSI crossovers or micro-timing via DEMA/TEMA for precise entries.
- **Filters**: Bias EMA, HTF alignment, gap from baseline, and no-trade zones (weak ADX, near baseline, low vol).
- **Divergence**: RSI pivots confirm strong signals.
- **Scoring**: Buy/sell scores (min 3-5 based on mode) trigger labels only when all gates pass, with early "potential" detection for foresight.
The algorithm processes these in real-time, auto-adapting to timeframe for efficiency. Signals flip only on direction changes to prevent over-trading. For best results, use on liquid assets and combine with risk management.

ICT Anchored Market Structures with Validation [LuxAlgo]The ICT Anchored Market Structures with Validation indicator is an advanced iteration of the original Pure-Price-Action-Structures tool, designed for price action traders.
It systematically tracks and validates key price action structures, distinguishing between true structural shifts/breaks and short-term sweeps to enhance trend and reversal analysis. The indicator automatically highlights structural points, confirms breakouts, identifies sweeps, and provides clear visual cues for short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term market structures.
A distinctive feature of this indicator is its exclusive reliance on price patterns. It does not depend on any user-defined input, ensuring that its analysis remains robust, objective, and uninfluenced by user bias, making it an effective tool for understanding market dynamics.
🔶 USAGE
Market structure is a cornerstone of price action analysis. This script automatically detects real-time market structures across short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term levels, simplifying trend analysis for traders. It assists in identifying both trend reversals and continuations with greater clarity.
Market structure shifts and breaks help traders identify changes in trend direction. A shift signals a potential reversal, often occurring when a swing high or low is breached, suggesting a transition in trend. A break, on the other hand, confirms the continuation of an established trend, reinforcing the current direction. Recognizing these shifts and breaks allows traders to anticipate price movement with greater accuracy.
It’s important to note that while a CHoCH may signal a potential trend reversal and a BoS suggests a continuation of the prevailing trend, neither guarantees a complete reversal or continuation. In some cases, CHoCH and BoS levels may act as liquidity zones or areas of consolidation rather than indicating a clear shift or continuation in market direction. The indicator’s validation component helps confirm whether the detected CHoCH and BoS are true breakouts or merely liquidity sweeps.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Market Structures
Market structures are derived from price action analysis, focusing on identifying key levels and patterns in the market. Swing point detection, a fundamental concept in ICT trading methodologies and teachings, plays a central role in this approach.
Swing points are automatically identified based exclusively on market movements, without requiring any user-defined input.
🔹 Utilizing Swing Points
Swing points are not identified in real-time as they form. Short-term swing points may appear with a delay of up to one bar, while the identification of intermediate and long-term swing points is entirely dependent on subsequent market movements. Importantly, this detection process is not influenced by any user-defined input, relying solely on pure price action. As a result, swing points are generally not intended for real-time trading scenarios.
Instead, traders often analyze historical swing points to understand market trends and identify potential entry and exit opportunities. By examining swing highs and lows, traders can:
Recognize Trends: Swing highs and lows provide insight into trend direction. Higher swing highs and higher swing lows signify an uptrend, while lower swing highs and lower swing lows indicate a downtrend.
Identify Support and Resistance Levels: Swing highs often act as resistance levels, referred to as Buyside Liquidity Levels in ICT terminology, while swing lows function as support levels, also known as Sellside Liquidity Levels. Traders can leverage these levels to plan their trade entries and exits.
Spot Reversal Patterns: Swing points can form key reversal patterns, such as double tops or bottoms, head and shoulders, and triangles. Recognizing these patterns can indicate potential trend reversals, enabling traders to adjust their strategies effectively.
Set Stop Loss and Take Profit Levels: In ICT teachings, swing levels represent price points with expected clusters of buy or sell orders. Traders can target these liquidity levels/pools for position accumulation or distribution, using swing points to define stop loss and take profit levels in their trades.
Overall, swing points provide valuable information about market dynamics and can assist traders in making more informed trading decisions.
🔹 Logic of Validation
The validation process in this script determines whether a detected market structure shift or break represents a confirmed breakout or a sweep.
The breakout is confirmed when the close price is significantly outside the deviation range of the last detected structural price. This deviation range is defined by the 17-period Average True Range (ATR), which creates a buffer around the detected market structure shift or break.
A sweep occurs when the price breaches the structural level within the deviation range but does not confirm a breakout. In this case, the label is updated to 'SWEEP.'
A visual box is created to represent the price range where the breakout or sweep occurs. If the validation process continues, the box is updated. This box visually highlights the price range involved in a sweep, helping traders identify liquidity events on the chart.
🔶 SETTINGS
The settings for Short-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term Structures are organized into groups, allowing users to customize swing points, market structures, and visual styles for each.
🔹 Structures
Swings and Size: Enables or disables the display of swing highs and lows, assigns icons to represent the structures, and adjusts the size of the icons.
Market Structures: Toggles the visibility of market structure lines.
Market Structure Validation: Enable or disable validation to distinguish true breakouts from liquidity sweeps.
Market Structure Labels: Displays or hides labels indicating the type of market structure.
Line Style and Width: Allows customization of the style and width of the lines representing market structures.
Swing and Line Colors: Provides options to adjust the colors of swing icons, market structure lines, and labels for better visualization.

Premarket Gapper Swing Filter (Long) – v6here’s a plug-and-play Pine Script v5 “screener” you can drop on any chart to flag pre-market gainers that also meet swing-friendly trend/liquidity filters. It works as a chart-level scanner (since Pine can’t screen the whole market by itself): add it to a watchlist; symbols that qualify will light up and you can set alerts to ping you right at the opening bell.
Larry Williams Bonus Track PatternThis strategy trades the day immediately following an Inside Day, under specific directional and timing conditions. It is designed for daily-based setups but executed on intraday charts to ensure orders are placed exactly at the open of the following day, rather than at the daily bar close.
Entry Conditions
Only trades on Monday, Thursday, or Friday.
The previous day must be an Inside Day (its high is lower than the prior high and its low is higher than the prior low).
The bar before the Inside Day must be bullish (close > open).
On the following day (t):
The daily open must be below both the Inside Day’s high and the highest high of the two days before that.
A buy stop is placed at the highest high of the three previous days (Inside Day and the two days before it).
If the new day’s open is already above that level (gap up), the strategy enters long immediately at the open.
Exit Rules
Stop Loss: Fixed, defined in points or percentage (user input).
FPO (First Profitable Open): the position is closed at the first daily open after the entry day where the open price is above the average entry price (the first profitable open).
Notes
The script must be applied on an intraday timeframe (e.g., 15-minute or 1-hour) so that the strategy can:
Detect the Inside Day pattern using daily data (request.security).
Execute orders in real time at the next day’s open.
Running it directly on the daily timeframe will delay executions by one bar due to Pine Script’s evaluation model.
369 Candle Highlighter - Customizable. [V1]The final 3/6/9 Candle Highlighter is a TradingView indicator that scans each candle’s time in a user-selected timezone, calculates the sum of all digits in the hour and minute, reduces that sum to a single digit, and highlights the candle in a chosen color with customizable transparency whenever the result equals 3, 6, or 9. Users can select their timezone, pick the highlight color, adjust transparency, enable optional tiny wicks above or below the candle, turn on alerts with custom messages for each number, and activate a debug mode that shows the reduced digit and candle time. This ensures that only the correctly calculated 3/6/9 candles are visually marked on the chart while allowing full customization for aesthetics, performance, and alerting preferences.
Round Numbers (Plotter) v2The *Round Numbers (Plotter) v2* indicator highlights key psychological price levels on the chart — the so-called *round numbers* (e.g. 1.1000 on EURUSD or23,000 on NASDAQ).
These levels often act as **natural support or resistance zones**, where price tends to react, consolidate, or reverse.
Version 2 introduces the concept of **gravitational zones**, which define a price range surrounding each round level — visualizing how price “gravitates” around these equilibrium areas.
---
### 🧩 **Main Features**
* 🔹 **Dynamic round levels:** plotted automatically based on user-defined *step size* (in points or pips).
* 🔹 **Custom step mode:** switch between “Points” (for indices, commodities, crypto) and “Pips” (for Forex pairs).
* 🔹 **Configurable appearance:** color, width, and line style (solid, dashed, dotted).
* 🔹 **Gravitation zones:** optional secondary lines plotted above and below each round level.
* Distance adjustable as a **percentage of the step size** (default = 25%).
* Help visualize “magnet areas” where price tends to slow down or oscillate before crossing a level.
* 🔹 **Optional fill:** softly shaded area between the upper and lower gravitation lines for clearer visualization of each zone.
* You can enable or disable this with the *“Show gravitation fill”* toggle.
* Fill color and transparency fully customizable.
---
### 📈 **Use Cases**
* Identify **psychological support/resistance** levels on any instrument or timeframe.
* Observe **market equilibrium zones** where price tends to cluster or hesitate before continuing.
* Combine with oscillators or volume indicators to confirm reaction strength near round numbers.
* Use the **gravitational zones** to refine stop-loss or take-profit placement near high-impact levels.
---
### 💡 **Notes**
* The indicator does **not repaint** and updates levels dynamically based on the latest price.
* Works on all asset classes: **Forex, Indices, Crypto, Commodities, Stocks.**
* Designed to be **lightweight** — no accumulation of historical objects.
* Combine this with *Round Number Analyzer* for complete analysis of round numbers level
HTF & PD/PM LevelsTired of mapping your own levels every morning? Look no further! This script automatically maps out and updates HTF & PD/PM Levels along with ATH. I personally use these as confirmation zones with EMA & VWAP, RSI, and Volume... but alone, these levels mark major support and resistances.
What are they?
🏰 HTF Levels — “Big Grown-Up Lines”
HTF = Higher Time Frame
Think of your price chart like a big map. HTF levels are the important lines from bigger chunks of time:
>Daily (yesterday’s close, high, low)
>Weekly (this week’s open, high, low, close)
>Monthly (this month’s open/close)
Why they matter:
These are like big walls and floors that price often bounces off or stops at. Big traders (institutions) watch them because they show where a lot of buying or selling happened before.
⏰ PD & PM Levels — “Yesterday & Morning Clues”
PD = Previous Day
>PDH = Previous Day’s High
>PDL = Previous Day’s Low
>PDC = Previous Day’s Close
PM = Pre-Market
>PMH = Pre-Market High
>PML = Pre-Market Low
>ATH = All-Time High
Why they matter:
These tell you where price moved when most regular traders weren’t awake yet (pre-market) and where it ended up yesterday. Price often revisits or reacts to these spots.
⚡ How Options Traders Use Them
Support & Resistance:
If price is near an HTF or PD/PM level, it might stop and turn around there (like a ball hitting a wall) or it might use it as a launchpad to the next level if it breaks.
Entry & Exit Spots:
Traders might buy calls (bet price goes up) if it breaks above an important level, or puts (bet price goes down) if it breaks below.
Risk Management:
These levels give clear spots to set stops and targets — “If price breaks this level, I’m out.”
Super Simple Picture:
HTF = big important levels from days, weeks, months.
PD/PM = yesterday’s and morning’s clues where price already moved.
Traders use them to guess where price might bounce or break to plan option trades safely.

⚖️ ES/NQ Price Action Sync
Discover when the market moves as one.
This indicator tracks when S&P 500 Futures (ES1!) and Nasdaq Futures (NQ1!) align in momentum — helping you spot broad-market confirmation or early divergence in real time.
🧠 Concept
The ES/NQ relationship often reveals the market’s underlying strength or hesitation. When both indices turn bullish or bearish together with meaningful movement, that’s a sign of true market alignment.
When they disagree — expect mixed momentum and possible reversals.
⚙️ Features
✅ Highlights new bullish and bearish syncs on chart
✅ Dynamic info table showing % change and direction for each index
✅ Optional triangle markers for clean visual cues
✅ Alert conditions for new sync events
✅ Adjustable lookback and minimum-move filters
