Anchored Powered KAMA [LuxAlgo]The Anchored Powered KAMA tool is a new flavor of the famous Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA).
It adds 5 different anchoring periods, a power exponent to the original KAMA calculation to increase the degree of filtering during ranging trends, and standard deviation bands calculated against the KAMA itself.
🔶 USAGE
In the image above we can see the different parts of the tool, it displays the Anchored Powered KAMA surrounded by standard deviation bands at 2x (solid) and 1x (dashed) by default.
This tool provides a simple and easy way to determine if the current market is ranging or trending and where the market extremes are in the current period.
As a rule of thumb, traders may want to trade extremes in ranges and pullbacks in trends.
When the KAMA is flat, a range is in place, so traders may want to wait for the price to reach an extreme before opening a trade in the other direction.
Conversely, if the KAMA is moving up or down, a trend is in place and traders may want to wait for the price to pull back to the KAMA before opening a trade in the direction of the trend.
🔹 Anchor Period
On the above chart, we can see different anchor periods on different chart timeframes.
This option is very useful for those traders who use multi-timeframe analysis, allowing them to see how the market behaves over different timeframes.
The valid values for this parameter are:
Hourly
Daily
Weekly
Monthly
Yearly
The tool has a built-in Auto feature for traders convenience, it automatically selects the optimal Anchor Period in function of the chart timeframe.
timeframes up to 2m: Hourly
timeframes up to 15m: Daily
timeframes up to 1H: Weekly
timeframes up to 4H: Monthly
larger timeframes: Yearly
🔹 Choosing the Right Anchor Period
In the chart above we can see the custom error message that the tool displays when the Auto feature is disabled and the Anchor Period is too large for the current chart timeframe.
Traders can select a smaller Anchor Period or a larger chart timeframe for the tool to display correctly.
🔶 DETAILS
The tool uses Welford's algorithm to calculate the KAMA's standard deviation, then plots the outer bands at the multiplier specified in the settings panel, and the inner bands at the multiplier specified minus 1.
🔹 Power Exponent
The graph above shows how different values of this parameter can affect the output.
To display the original KAMA a value of 1 must be set, by default this parameter is set to 2.
The higher the value, the better the tool's ability to detect ranges.
🔶 SETTINGS
Anchor Period: Select up to 5 different time periods from Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly.
Source: Choose the source for all calculations.
Power Exponent: Fine-tune the KAMA calculation, a value of 1 will output the original KAMA, and is set to 2 by default.
Band Multiplier: Select the multiplier for the standard deviation bands.
Combo Gama Exposure + EMA + SMA 1.0Gamma Exposure (GEX) for the CBOE Volatility Index ( TVC:VIX ) is an estimate of how much option sellers need to hedge for every 1% change in the underlying asset's price. It's also known as Gamma Levels.
How is GEX calculated?
GEX is calculated based on a 1% move of the underlying security
It's calculated and updated throughout the day
It's based on market positioning and open interest
These regions are important because they show the regions where players can act more aggressively to defend their positions. When inserting the indicator on the chart, a popup will open requesting the GEX levels (Put wall, Vix Call Wall 0DTE, etc.)
In addition, 3 moving averages will be inserted into the chart. A 9-period exponential moving average, a 20-period arithmetic moving average, and a 200-period arithmetic moving average. These moving averages aim to indicate the possible trend of the asset, where pullbacks in these averages can signal a possible entry in favor of the trend.

Auto-Adjusting Kalman Filter by TenozenNew year, new indicator! Auto-Adjusting Kalman Filter is an indicator designed to provide an adaptive approach to trend analysis. Using the Kalman Filter (a recursive algorithm used in signal processing), this algo dynamically adjusts to market conditions, offering traders a reliable way to identify trends and manage risk! In other words, it's a remaster of my previous indicator, Kalman Filter by Tenozen.
What's the difference with the previous indicator (Kalman Filter by Tenozen)?
The indicator adjusts its parameters (Q and R) in real-time using the Average True Range (ATR) as a measure of market volatility. This ensures the filter remains responsive during high-volatility periods and smooth during low-volatility conditions, optimizing its performance across different market environments.
The filter resets on a user-defined timeframe, aligning its calculations with dominant trends and reducing sensitivity to short-term noise. This helps maintain consistency with the broader market structure.
A confidence metric, derived from the deviation of price from the Kalman filter line (measured in ATR multiples), is visualized as a heatmap:
Green : Bullish confidence (higher values indicate stronger trends).
Red : Bearish confidence (higher values indicate stronger trends).
Gray : Neutral zone (low confidence, suggesting caution).
This provides a clear, objective measure of trend strength.
How it works?
The Kalman Filter estimates the "true" price by filtering out market noise. It operates in two steps, that is, prediction and update. Prediction is about projection the current state (price) forward. Update is about adjusting the prediction based on the latest price data. The filter's parameters (Q and R) are scaled using normalized ATR, ensuring adaptibility to changing market conditions. So it means that, Q (Process Noise) increases during high volatility, making the filter more responsive to price changes and R (Measurement Noise) increases during low volatility, smoothing out the filter to avoid overreacting to minor fluctuations. Also, the trend confidence is calculated based on the deviation of price from the Kalman filter line, measured in ATR multiples, this provides a quantifiable measure of trend strength, helping traders assess market conditions objectively.
How to use?
Use the Kalman Filter line to identify the prevailing trend direction. Trade in alignment with the filter's slope for higher-probability setups.
Look for pullbacks toward the Kalman Filter line during strong trends (high confidence zones)
Utilize the dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels to manage risk and lock in profits
Confidence Heatmap provides an objective measure of market sentiment, helping traders avoid low-confidence (neutral) zones and focus on high-probability opportunities
Guess that's it! I hope this indicator helps! Let me know if you guys got some feedback! Ciao!
Fibonacci 3-D🟩 The Fibonacci 3-D indicator is a visual tool that introduces a three-dimensional approach to Fibonacci projections, leveraging market geometry. Unlike traditional Fibonacci tools that rely on two points and project horizontal levels, this indicator leverages slopes derived from three points to introduce a dynamic element into the calculations. The Fibonacci 3-D indicator uses three user-defined points to form a triangular structure, enabling multi-dimensional projections based on the relationships between the triangle’s sides.
This triangular framework forms the foundation for the indicator’s calculations, with each slope (⌳AB, ⌳AC, and ⌳BC) representing the rate of price change between its respective points. By incorporating these slopes into Fibonacci projections, the indicator provides an alternate approach to identifying potential support and resistance levels. The Fibonacci 3-D expands on traditional methods by integrating both historical price trends and recent momentum, offering deeper insights into market dynamics and aligning with broader market geometry.
The indicator operates across three modes, each defined by the triangular framework formed by three user-selected points (A, B, and C):
1-Dimensional (1-D): Fibonacci levels are based on a single side of the triangle, such as AB, AC, or BC. The slope of the selected side determines the angle of the projection, allowing users to analyze linear trends or directional price movements.
2-Dimensional (2-D): Combines two slopes derived from the sides of the triangle, such as AB and BC or AC and BC. This mode adds depth to the projections, accounting for both historical price swings and recent market momentum.
3-Dimensional (3-D): Integrates all three slopes into a unified projection. This mode captures the full geometric relationship between the points, revealing a comprehensive view of geometric market structure.
🌀 THEORY & CONCEPT 🌀
The Fibonacci 3-D indicator builds on the foundational principles of traditional Fibonacci analysis while expanding its scope to capture more intricate market structures. At its core, the indicator operates based on three user-selected points (A, B, and C), forming the vertices of a triangle that provides the structural basis for all calculations. This triangle determines the slopes, projections, and Fibonacci levels, aligning with the unique geometric relationships between the chosen points. By introducing multiple dimensions and leveraging this triangular framework, the indicator enables a deeper examination of price movements.
1️⃣ First Dimension (1-D)
In technical analysis, traditional Fibonacci retracement and extension tools operate as one-dimensional instruments. They rely on two price points, often a swing high and a swing low, to calculate and project horizontal levels at predefined Fibonacci ratios. These levels identify potential support and resistance zones based solely on the price difference between the selected points.
A one-dimensional Fibonacci showing levels derived from two price points (B and C).
The Fibonacci 3-D indicator extends this one-dimensional concept by introducing Ascending and Descending projection options. These options calculate the levels to align with the directional movement of price, creating sloped projections instead of purely horizontal levels.
1-D mode with an ascending projection along the ⌳BC slope aligned to the market's slope. Potential support is observed at 0.236 and 0.382, while resistance appears at 1.0 and 0.5.
2️⃣ Second Dimension (2-D)
The second dimension incorporates a second side of the triangle, introducing relationships between two slopes (e.g., ⌳AB and ⌳BC) to form a more dynamic three-point structure (A, B, and C) on the chart. This structure enables the indicator to move beyond the single-axis (price) calculations of traditional Fibonacci tools. The sides of the triangle (AB, AC, BC) represent slopes calculated as the rate of price change over time, capturing distinct components of market movement, such as trend direction and momentum.
2-D mode of the Fibonacci 3-D indicator using the ⌳AC slope with a descending projection. The Fibonacci projections align closely with observed market behavior, providing support at 0.236 and resistance at 0.618. Unlike traditional zigzag setups, this configuration uses two swing highs (A and B) and a swing low (C). The alignment along the descending slope highlights the geometric relationships between selected points in identifying potential support and resistance levels.
3️⃣ Third Dimension (3-D)
The third dimension expands the analysis by integrating all three slopes into a unified calculation, encompassing the entire triangle structure formed by points A, B, and C. Unlike the second dimension, which analyzes pairwise slope relationships, the 3-D mode reflects the combined geometry of the triangle. Each slope contributes a distinct perspective: AB and AC provide historical context, while BC emphasizes the most recent price movement and is given greater weight in the calculations to ensure projections remain responsive to current dynamics.
Using this integrated framework, the 3-D mode dynamically adjusts Fibonacci projections to balance long-term patterns and short-term momentum. The projections extend outward in alignment with the triangle’s geometry, offering a comprehensive framework for identifying potential support and resistance zones and capturing market structures beyond the scope of simpler 1-D or 2-D modes.
Three-dimensional Fibonacci projection using the ⌳AC slope, aligning closely with the market's directional movement. The projection highlights key levels: resistance at 0.0 and 0.618, and support at 1.0, 0.786, and 0.382.
By leveraging all three slopes simultaneously, the 3-D mode introduces a level of complexity particularly suited for volatile or non-linear markets. The weighted slope calculations ensure no single price movement dominates the analysis, allowing the projections to adapt dynamically to the broader market structure while remaining sensitive to recent momentum.
Three-dimensional ascending projection. In 3D mode, the indicator integrates all three slopes to calculate the angle of projection for the Fibonacci levels. The resulting projections adapt dynamically to the overall geometry of the ABC structure, aligning with the market’s current direction.
🔂 Interactions: Dimensions. Slope Source, Projections, and Orientation
The Dimensions , Projections , and Orientation settings work together to define Fibonacci projections within the triangular framework. Each setting plays a specific role in the geometric analysis of price movements.
♾️ Dimension determines which of the three modes (1-D, 2-D, or 3-D) is used for Fibonacci projections. In 1-D mode, the projections are based on a single side of the triangle, such as AB, AC, or BC. In 2-D mode, two sides are combined, producing levels based on their geometric relationship. The 3-D mode integrates all three sides of the triangle, calculating projections using weighted averages that emphasize the BC side for its relevance to recent price movement while maintaining historical context from the AB and AC sides.
A one-dimensional Fibonacci projection using the ⌳AB slope with a neutral projection. Important levels of interaction are highlighted: repeated resistance at Level 1.0 and repeated support at Levels 0.5 and 0.618. The projection aligns horizontally, reflecting the relationship between points A, B, and C while identifying recurring zones of market structure.
🧮 Slope Source determines which side of the triangle (AB, AC, or BC) serves as the foundation for Fibonacci projections. This selection directly impacts the calculations by specifying the slope that anchors the geometric relationships within the chosen Dimension mode (1-D, 2-D, or 3-D).
In 1-D mode, the selected Source defines the single side used for the projection. In 2-D and 3-D modes, the Source works in conjunction with other settings to refine projections by integrating the selected slope into the multi-dimensional framework.
One-dimensional Fibonacci projection using the ⌳AC Slope Source and Ascending projection. The projection continues on the AC slope line.
🎯 Projection controls the direction and alignment of Fibonacci levels. Neutral projections produce horizontal levels, similar to traditional Fibonacci tools. Ascending and Descending projections adjust the levels along the calculated slope to reflect market trends. These options allow the indicator’s outputs to align with different market behaviors.
An ascending projection along the ⌳BC slope aligns with resistance levels at 1.0, 0.618, and 0.236. The geometric relationship between points A, B, and C illustrates how the projection adapts to market structure, identifying resistance zones that may not be captured by traditional Fibonacci tools.
🧭 Orientation modifies the alignment of the setup area defined by points A, B, and C, which influences Fibonacci projections in 2-D and 3-D modes. In Default mode, the triangle aligns naturally based on the relative positions of points B and C. In Inverted mode, the geometric orientation of the setup area is reversed, altering the slope calculations while preserving the projection direction specified in the Projection setting. In 1-D mode, Orientation has no effect since only one side is used for the projection.
Adjusting the Orientation setting provides alternative views of how Fibonacci levels align with the market's structure. By recalibrating the triangle’s setup, the inverted orientation can highlight different relationships between the sides, providing additional perspectives on support and resistance zones.
2-D inverted. The ⌳AC slope defines the projection, and the inverted orientation adjusts the alignment of the setup area, altering the angles used in level calculations. Key levels are highlighted: resistance at 0.786, strong support at 0.5 and 0.236, and a resistance-turned-support interaction at 0.618.
🛠️ CONFIGURATION AND SETTINGS 🛠️
The Fibonacci 3-D indicator includes configurable settings to adjust its functionality and visual representation. These options include customization of the dimensions (1-D, 2-D, or 3-D), slope calculations, orientations, projections, Fibonacci levels, and visual elements.
When adding the indicator to a new chart, select three reference points (A, B, and C). These are usually set to recent swing points. All three points can be easily changed at any time by clicking on the reference point and dragging it to a new location.
By default, all settings are set to Auto . The indicator uses an internal algorithm to estimate the projections based on the orientation and relative positions of the reference points. However, all values can be overridden to reflect the user's interpretation of the current market geometry.
⚙️ Core Settings
Dimensions : Defines how many sides of the triangle formed by points A, B, and C are incorporated into the calculations for Fibonacci projections. This setting determines the level of complexity and detail in the analysis. 1-D : Projects levels along the angle of a single user-selected side of the triangle.
2-D : Projects levels based on a composite slope derived from the angles of two sides of the triangle.
3-D : Projects levels based on a composite slope derived from all three sides of the triangle (A-B, A-C, and B-C), providing a multi-dimensional projection that adapts to both historical and recent market movements.
Slope Source : Determines which side of the triangle is used as the basis for slope calculations. A–B: The slope between points A and B. In 1-D mode, this determines the projection. In 2-D and 3-D modes, it contributes to the composite slope calculation.
A–C: The slope between points A and C. In 1-D mode, this determines the projection. In 2-D and 3-D modes, it contributes to the composite slope calculation.
B--C: The slope between points B and C. In 1-D mode, this determines the projection. In 2-D and 3-D modes, it contributes to the composite slope calculation.

A, B, and C Points : User-defined time and price coordinates that form the foundation of the indicator's calculations.
Interactive Adjustments : Changes made to points on the chart automatically synchronize with the settings panel and update projections in real time.
Notes
Unlike traditional Fibonacci tools that include extensions beyond 1.0 (e.g., 1.618 or 2.618), the Fibonacci 3-D indicator restricts Fibonacci levels to the range between 0.0 and 1.0. This is because the projections are tied directly to the proportional relationships along the sides of the triangle formed by points A, B, and C, rather than extending beyond its defined structure.
The indicator's calculations dynamically sort the user-defined A, B, and C points by time, ensuring point A is always the earliest, point C the latest, and point B the middle. This automatic sorting allows users to freely adjust the points directly on the chart without concern for their sequence, maintaining consistency in the triangular structure.
🖼️ ADDITIONAL CHART EXAMPLES 🖼️
Three-dimensional ⌳AC slope is used with an ascending projection, even as the broader market trend moves downward. Despite the apparent contradiction, the projected Fibonacci levels align closely with price action, identifying zones of support and resistance. These levels highlight smaller countertrend movements, such as pullbacks to 0.382 and 0.236, followed by continuations at resistance levels like 0.618 and 0.786.
In 2-D mode, an ascending projection based on the BC slope highlights the market's geometric structure. A setup triangle, defined by a swing high (A), a swing low (B), and another swing high (C), reveals Fibonacci projections aligning with support at 0.236, 0.382, and 0.5, and resistance at 0.618, 0.786, and 1.0, as shown by the green and red arrows. This demonstrates the ability to uncover dynamic support and resistance levels not calculated in traditional Fibonacci tools.
In 2-D mode with an ascending projection from the ⌳AB slope, price movement is contained within the 0.5 and 0.786 levels. The 0.5 level serves as support, while the 0.786 level acts as resistance, with price action consistently interacting with these boundaries.
An AC (2-D) ascending projection is derived from two swing highs (A and B) and a swing low (C), reflecting a non-linear market structure that deviates from traditional zigzag patterns. The ascending projection aligns closely with the market's upward trajectory, forming a channel between the 0.0 and 0.5 Fibonacci levels. Note how price action interacts with the projected levels, showing support at 0.236 and 0.382, with the 0.5 level acting as a mid-channel equilibrium.
Two-dimensional ascending Fibonacci projection using the ⌳AC slope. Arrows highlight resistance at 0.786 and support at 0.0 and 0.236. The projection follows the ⌳AC slope, reflecting the geometric relationship between points A, B, and C to identify these levels.
Three-dimensional Fibonacci projection using the ⌳AC slope, aligned with the actual market's directional trend. By removing additional Fibonacci levels, the image emphasizes key areas: resistance at Level 0.0 and support at Levels 1.0 and 0.5. The projection dynamically follows the ⌳AC slope, adapting to the market's structure as defined by points A, B, and C.
A three-dimensional configuration uses the ⌳AB slope as the baseline for projections while incorporating the geometric influence of point C. Only the 0.0 and 0.618 levels are enabled, emphasizing the relationship between support at 0.0 and resistance at 0.618. Unlike traditional Fibonacci tools, which operate in a single plane, this setup reveals levels that rely on the triangular relationship between points A, B, and C. The third dimension allows for projections that align more closely with the market’s structure and reflect its multi-dimensional geometry.
The Fibonacci 3-D indicator can adapt to non-traditional point selection. Point A serves as a swing low, while points B and C are swing highs, forming an unconventional configuration. ⌳The BC slope is used in 2-D mode with an inverted orientation, flipping the projection direction and revealing resistance at Level 0.786 and support at Levels 0.618 and 0.5.

Time-Based VWAP (TVWAP)(TVWAP) Indicator
The Time-Based Volume Weighted Average Price (TVWAP) indicator is a customized version of VWAP designed for intraday trading sessions with defined start and end times. Unlike the traditional VWAP, which calculates the volume-weighted average price over an entire trading day, this indicator allows you to focus on specific time periods, such as ICT kill zones (e.g., London Open, New York Open, Power Hour). It helps crypto scalpers and advanced traders identify price deviations relative to volume during key trading windows.
Key Features:
Custom Time Interval:
You can set the exact start and end times for the VWAP calculation using input settings for hours and minutes (24-hour format).
Ideal for analyzing short, high-liquidity periods.
Dynamic Accumulation of Price and Volume:
The indicator resets at the beginning of the specified session and accumulates price-volume data until the end of the session.
Ensures that the TVWAP reflects the weighted average price specific to the chosen session.
Visual Representation:
The indicator plots the TVWAP line only during the specified time window, providing a clear visual reference for price action during that period.
Outside the session, the TVWAP line is hidden (na).
Use Cases:
ICT Scalp Trading:
Monitor price rebalances or potential liquidity sweeps near TVWAP during important trading sessions.
Mean Reversion Strategies:
Detect pullbacks toward the session’s average price for potential entry points.
Breakout Confirmation:
Confirm price direction relative to TVWAP during kill zones or high-volume times to determine if a breakout is supported by volume.
Inputs:
Start Hour/Minute: The time when the TVWAP calculation starts.
End Hour/Minute: The time when the TVWAP calculation ends.
Technical Explanation:
The indicator uses the timestamp function to create time markers for the session start and end.
During the session, the price-volume (close * volume) is accumulated along with the total volume.
TVWAP is calculated as:
TVWAP = (Sum of (Price × Volume)) ÷ (Sum of Volume)
Once the session ends, the TVWAP resets for the next trading period.
Customization Ideas:
Alerts: Add notifications when the price touches or deviates significantly from TVWAP.
Different Colors: Use different line colors based on upward or downward trends.
Multiple Sessions: Add support for multiple TVWAP lines for different time periods (e.g., London + New York).
Smart Money Concepts (Advanced)Inspired and initially based on LuxAlgo's Smart Money Concepts Indicator I created a library lib_smc that started to convert every function and return objects. This allowed certain customizations like tracking the current fill level of FVGs or tracking the creation of Order Blocks, by monitoring consecutive bars against the current trend.
This indicator is provided as is, based on, but probably not always be up to date with my lib_smc that I am using for my projects.
WARNING: This indicator shows EXPERIMENTAL Order Blocks that are tracked LIVE. Unlike usual Order Blocks these are not just based on the last confirmed Swing Point (formed 50 bars before) but on consecutive candles opposing an unconfirmed trend. Blocks are confirmed by price movements relative to the unconfirmed block and unconfirmed swing points. This means that some Order Blocks will appear on pullbacks, as well as reversals.
Features
Swing Points (HH / LH / HL / LL), indicating support / resistance zones price might reject off of or want to push through
Market Structure (BOS / ChoCh), indicates confirmation for a continued / changing trend
live Order Blocks (OB), see warning above.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG), optional from higher timeframes
Equal Highs / Lows (EQH/EQL), indicates strong support / resistance zones, especially when the bars forming it have long wicks toward that zone
using my lib_no_delay all moving averages are working from bar 0, so it can be used on charts with limited bars
Uptrick: Volatility Reversion BandsUptrick: Volatility Reversion Bands is an indicator designed to help traders identify potential reversal points in the market by combining volatility and momentum analysis within one comprehensive framework. It calculates dynamic bands around a simple moving average and issues signals when price interacts with these bands. Below is a fully expanded description, structured in multiple sections, detailing originality, usefulness, uniqueness, and the purpose behind blending standard deviation-based and ATR-based concepts. All references to code have been removed to focus on the written explanation only.
Section 1: Overview
Uptrick: Volatility Reversion Bands centers on a moving average around which various bands are constructed. These bands respond to changes in price volatility and can help gauge potential overbought or oversold conditions. Signals occur when the price moves beyond certain thresholds, which may imply a reversal or significant momentum shift.
Section 2: Originality, Usefulness, Uniqness, Purpose
This indicator merges two distinct volatility measurements—Bollinger Bands and ATR—into one cohesive system. Bollinger Bands use standard deviation around a moving average, offering a baseline for what is statistically “normal” price movement relative to a recent mean. When price hovers near the upper band, it may indicate overbought conditions, whereas price near the lower band suggests oversold conditions. This straightforward construction often proves invaluable in moderate-volatility settings, as it pinpoints likely turning points and gauges a market’s typical trading range.
Yet Bollinger Bands alone can falter in conditions marked by abrupt volatility spikes or sudden gaps that deviate from recent norms. Intraday news, earnings releases, or macroeconomic data can alter market behavior so swiftly that standard-deviation bands do not keep pace. This is where ATR (Average True Range) adds an important layer. ATR tracks recent highs, lows, and potential gaps to produce a dynamic gauge of how much price is truly moving from bar to bar. In quieter times, ATR contracts, reflecting subdued market activity. In fast-moving markets, ATR expands, exposing heightened volatility on each new bar.
By overlaying Bollinger Bands and ATR-based calculations, the indicator achieves a broader situational awareness. Bollinger Bands excel at highlighting relative overbought or oversold areas tied to an established average. ATR simultaneously scales up or down based on real-time market swings, signaling whether conditions are calm or turbulent. When combined, this means a price that barely crosses the Bollinger Band but also triggers a high ATR-based threshold is likely experiencing a volatility surge that goes beyond typical market fluctuations. Conversely, a price breach of a Bollinger Band when ATR remains low may still warrant attention, but not necessarily the same urgency as in a high-volatility regime.
The resulting synergy offers balanced, context-rich signals. In a strong trend, the ATR layer helps confirm whether an apparent price breakout really has momentum or if it is just a temporary spike. In a range-bound market, standard deviation-based Bollinger Bands define normal price extremes, while ATR-based extensions highlight whether a breakout attempt has genuine force behind it. Traders gain clarity on when a move is both statistically unusual and accompanied by real volatility expansion, thus carrying a higher probability of a directional follow-through or eventual reversion.
Practical advantages emerge across timeframes. Scalpers in fast-paced markets appreciate how ATR-based thresholds update rapidly, revealing if a sudden price push is routine or exceptional. Swing traders can rely on both indicators to filter out false signals in stable conditions or identify truly notable moves. By calibrating to changes in volatility, the merged system adapts naturally whether the market is trending, ranging, or transitioning between these phases.
In summary, combining Bollinger Bands (for a static sense of standard-deviation-based overbought/oversold zones) with ATR (for a dynamic read on current volatility) yields an adaptive, intuitive indicator. Traders can better distinguish fleeting noise from meaningful expansions, enabling more informed entries, exits, and risk management. Instead of relying on a single yardstick for all market conditions, this fusion provides a layered perspective, encouraging traders to interpret price moves in the broader context of changing volatility.
Section 3: Why Bollinger Bands and ATR are combined
Bollinger Bands provide a static snapshot of volatility by computing a standard deviation range above and below a central average. ATR, on the other hand, adapts in real time to expansions or contractions in market volatility. When combined, these measures offset each other’s limitations: Bollinger Bands add structure (overbought and oversold references), and ATR ensures responsiveness to rapid price shifts. This synergy helps reduce noisy signals, particularly during sudden market turbulence or extended consolidations.
Section 4: User Inputs
Traders can adjust several parameters to suit their preferences and strategies. These typically include:
1. Lookback length for calculating the moving average and standard deviation.
2. Multipliers to control the width of Bollinger Bands.
3. An ATR multiplier to set the distance for additional reversal bands.
4. An option to display weaker signals when the price merely approaches but does not cross the outer bands.
Section 5: Main Calculations
At the core of this indicator are four important steps:
1. Calculate a basis using a simple moving average.
2. Derive Bollinger Bands by adding and subtracting a product of the standard deviation and a user-defined multiplier.
3. Compute ATR over the same lookback period and multiply it by the selected factor.
4. Combine ATR-based distance with the Bollinger Bands to set the outer reversal bands, which serve as stronger signal thresholds.
Section 6: Signal Generation
The script interprets meaningful reversal points when the price:
1. Crosses below the lower outer band, potentially highlighting oversold conditions where a bullish reversal may occur.
2. Crosses above the upper outer band, potentially indicating overbought conditions where a bearish reversal may develop.
Section 7: Visualization
The indicator provides visual clarity through labeled signals and color-coded references:
1. Distinct colors for upper and lower reversal bands.
2. Markers that appear above or below bars to denote possible buying or selling signals.
3. A gradient bar color scheme indicating a bar’s position between the lower and upper bands, helping traders quickly see if the price is near either extreme.
Section 8: Weak Signals (Optional)
For those preferring early cues, the script can highlight areas where the price nears the outer bands. When weak signals are enabled:
1. Bars closer to the upper reversal zone receive a subtle marker suggesting a less robust, yet still noteworthy, potential selling area.
2. Bars closer to the lower reversal zone receive a subtle marker suggesting a less robust, yet still noteworthy, potential buying area.
Section 9: Simplicity, Effectiveness, and Lower Timeframes
Although combining standard deviation and ATR involves sophisticated volatility concepts, this indicator is visually straightforward. Reversal bands and gradient-colored bars make it easy to see at a glance when price approaches or crosses a threshold. Day traders operating on lower timeframes benefit from such clarity because it helps filter out minor fluctuations and focus on more meaningful signals.
Section 10: Adaptability across Market Phases
Because both the standard deviation (for Bollinger Bands) and ATR adapt to changing volatility, the indicator naturally adjusts to various environments:
1. Trending: The additional ATR-based outer bands help distinguish between temporary pullbacks and deeper reversals.
2. Ranging: Bollinger Bands often remain narrower, identifying smaller reversals, while the outer ATR bands remain relatively close to the main bands.
Section 11: Reduced Noise in High-Volatility Scenarios
By factoring ATR into the band calculations, the script widens or narrows the thresholds during rapid market fluctuations. This reduces the amount of false triggers typically found in indicators that rely solely on fixed calculations, preventing overreactions to abrupt but short-lived price spikes.
Section 12: Incorporation with Other Technical Tools
Many traders combine this indicator with oscillators such as RSI, MACD, or Stochastic, as well as volume metrics. Overbought or oversold signals in momentum oscillators can provide additional confirmation when price reaches the outer bands, while volume spikes may reinforce the significance of a breakout or potential reversal.
Section 13: Risk Management Considerations
All trading strategies carry risk. This indicator, like any tool, can and does produce losing trades if price unexpectedly reverses again or if broader market conditions shift rapidly. Prudent traders employ protective measures:
1. Stop-loss orders or trailing stops.
2. Position sizing that accounts for market volatility.
3. Diversification across different asset classes when possible.
Section 14: Overbought and Oversold Identification
Standard Bollinger Bands highlight regions where price might be overextended relative to its recent average. The extended ATR-based reversal bands serve as secondary lines of defense, identifying moments when price truly stretches beyond typical volatility bounds.
Section 15: Parameter Customization for Different Needs
Users can tailor the script to their unique preferences:
1. Shorter lookback settings yield faster signals but risk more noise.
2. Higher multipliers spread the bands further apart, filtering out small moves but generating fewer signals.
3. Longer lookback periods smooth out market noise, often leading to more stable but less frequent trading cues.
Section 16: Examples of Different Trading Styles
1. Day Traders: Often reduce the length to capture quick price swings.
2. Swing Traders: May use moderate lengths such as 20 to 50 bars.
3. Position Traders: Might opt for significantly longer settings to detect macro-level reversals.
Section 17: Performance Limitations and Reality Check
No technical indicator is free from false signals. Sudden fundamental news events, extreme sentiment changes, or low-liquidity conditions can render signals less reliable. Backtesting and forward-testing remain essential steps to gauge whether the indicator aligns well with a trader’s timeframe, risk tolerance, and instrument of choice.
Section 18: Merging Volatility and Momentum
A critical uniqueness of this indicator lies in how it merges Bollinger Bands (standard deviation-based) with ATR (pure volatility measure). Bollinger Bands provide a relative measure of price extremes, while ATR dynamically reacts to market expansions and contractions. Together, they offer an enhanced perspective on potential market turns, ideally reducing random noise and highlighting moments where price has traveled beyond typical bounds.
Section 19: Purpose of this Merger
The fundamental purpose behind blending standard deviation measures with real-time volatility data is to accommodate different market behaviors. Static standard deviation alone can underreact or overreact in abnormally volatile conditions. ATR alone lacks a baseline reference to normality. By merging them, the indicator aims to provide:
1. A versatile dynamic range for both typical and extreme moves.
2. A filter against frequent whipsaws, especially in choppy environments.
3. A visual framework that novices and experts can interpret rapidly.
Section 20: Summary and Practical Tips
Uptrick: Volatility Reversion Bands offers a powerful tool for traders looking to combine volatility-based signals with momentum-derived reversals. It emphasizes clarity through color-coded bars, defined reversal zones, and optional weak signal markers. While potentially useful across all major timeframes, it demands ongoing risk management, realistic expectations, and careful study of how signals behave under different market conditions. No indicator serves as a crystal ball, so integrating this script into an overall strategy—possibly alongside volume data, fundamentals, or momentum oscillators—often yields the best results.
Disclaimer and Educational Use
This script is intended for educational and informational purposes. It does not constitute financial advice, nor does it guarantee trading success. Sudden economic events, low-liquidity times, and unexpected market behaviors can all undermine technical signals. Traders should use proper testing procedures (backtesting and forward-testing) and maintain disciplined risk management measures.
Short Term Imbalance ContinuationShort Term Imbalance Continuation
This indicator identifies short-term trading opportunities based on imbalance situations followed by consolidation.
Functionality:
The indicator looks for a specific candle formation:
1. An imbalance candle where the low is above the high of the following candle (bearish) or the high is below the low of the following candle (bullish)
2. Followed by 1-2 inside candles (close within the range of the previous candle) in the same direction
Theory:
The formation is based on two important market mechanisms:
1. Imbalance and Momentum:
- The imbalance shows a strong move with one-sided orderflow dominance
- Inside candles in the same direction confirm that the opposing side cannot take control
2. Consolidation Behavior:
- Inside candles are a classic consolidation pattern
- They show that the market is "digesting" the previous strong movement
- Consolidation within the range indicates controlled accumulation/distribution
- Particularly relevant when large market participants are building or expanding positions
- Consolidation at higher/lower levels confirms the dominance of the trend direction
Settings:
- Choice between one or two inside candles for different consolidation phases
- Option whether both inside candles must have the same direction
- Customizable colors for bullish and bearish signals
Application:
The indicator is particularly suitable for:
- Trend confirmation after strong movements
- Entry into pullbacks during trends
- Identification of continuation setups after consolidations
- Detection of accumulation/distribution phases of large market participants
Notes:
- Best used in combination with higher timeframe trend
- Particularly meaningful at important price zones
- Consolidation phases can indicate institutional interest
- The length of consolidation (one vs. two inside candles) can indicate different accumulation phases
3_SMA_Strategy_V-Singhal by ParthibIndicator Name: 3_SMA_Strategy_V-Singhal by Parthib
Description:
The 3_SMA_Strategy_V-Singhal by Parthib is a dynamic trend-following strategy that combines three key simple moving averages (SMA) — SMA 20, SMA 50, and SMA 200 — to generate buy and sell signals. This strategy uses these SMAs to capture and follow market trends, helping traders identify optimal entry (buy) and exit (sell) points. Additionally, the strategy highlights the closing price (CP), which plays a critical role in confirming buy and sell signals.
The strategy also features a Second Buy Signal triggered if the price falls more than 10% after an initial buy signal, providing a re-entry opportunity with a different visual highlight for the second buy signal.
Features:
Three Simple Moving Averages (SMA):
SMA 20: Short-term moving average reflecting immediate market trends.
SMA 50: Medium-term moving average showing the prevailing trend.
SMA 200: Long-term moving average that indicates the overall market trend.
Buy Signal (B1):
Triggered when:
SMA 200 > SMA 50 > SMA 20, indicating a bullish market structure.
The closing price is positioned below all three SMAs, confirming a potential upward reversal.
A green label appears at the low of the bar with the text B1-Price, indicating the price at which the buy signal is generated.
Second Buy Signal (B2):
Triggered if the price falls more than 10% after the first buy signal, providing an opportunity to re-enter the market at a potentially better price.
A blue label appears at the low of the bar with the text B2-Price, showing the price at which the second buy opportunity arises.
Sell Signal (S):
Triggered when:
SMA 20 > SMA 50 > SMA 200, indicating a bearish trend.
The closing price (CP) is positioned above all three SMAs, confirming a potential downward movement.
A red label appears at the high of the bar with the text S-Price, showing the price at which the sell signal is triggered.
How It Works:
Buy Conditions:
SMA 200 > SMA 50 > SMA 20: Indicates a bullish market where the long-term trend (SMA 200) is above the medium-term (SMA 50), and the medium-term trend is above the short-term (SMA 20).
Closing price below all three SMAs: Confirms that the price is in a favorable position for a potential upward reversal.
Sell Conditions:
SMA 20 > SMA 50 > SMA 200: This setup indicates a bearish trend.
Closing price above all three SMAs: Confirms that the price is in a favorable position for a potential downward movement.
Second Buy Signal (B2): If the price falls more than 10% after the first buy signal, the strategy triggers a second buy opportunity (B2) at a potentially better price. This helps traders take advantage of pullbacks or corrections after an initial favorable entry.
Labeling System:
B1-Price: The first buy signal label, appearing when the market is bullish and the closing price is below all three SMAs.
B2-Price: The second buy signal label, triggered if the price falls more than 10% after the initial buy signal.
S-Price: The sell signal label, appearing when the market turns bearish and the closing price is above all three SMAs.
How to Use:
Add the Indicator: Add "3_SMA_Strategy_V-Singhal by Parthib" to your chart on TradingView.
Interpret Buy Signals (B1): Look for green labels with the text "B1-Price" when the closing price (CP) is below all three SMAs and the trend is bullish.
Interpret Second Buy Signals (B2): If the price falls more than 10% after the first buy, look for blue labels with "B2-Price" and a re-entry opportunity.
Interpret Sell Signals (S): Look for red labels with the text "S-Price" when the market turns bearish, and the closing price (CP) is above all three SMAs.
Conclusion:
The 3_SMA_Strategy_V-Singhal by Parthib is an efficient and simple trend-following tool for traders looking to make informed buy and sell decisions. By combining the power of three SMAs and the closing price (CP) confirmation, this strategy helps traders to buy when the market shows a strong bullish setup and sell when the trend turns bearish. Additionally, the second buy signal feature ensures that traders don’t miss out on re-entry opportunities after price corrections, giving them a chance to re-enter the market at a favorable price.
Adjustable Color Changing WMA by Slope Degree30 weighted moving average that changes colors based upon degree of slope. Consider it a green light for buying/selling pullbacks to the wma. You can adjust the colors and the threshold for the degree of slope.
Ask-Weighted Averages This indicator provides two price-based reference lines derived from volume dynamics within each bar. Specifically, it calculates a volume-weighted average price using only the portion of trading volume that occurred on the "ask" side, implying more aggressive buying activity. The logic behind this approach is to highlight potential support and resistance levels where buyers have shown greater conviction.
Key Features:
Ask-Weighted Average Prices:
Instead of using the entire trade volume, the lines focus on "ask volume" (volume associated with trades occurring at or near the ask price). This helps to spotlight areas where buyers have been dominant, potentially revealing more meaningful price levels for future market behavior.
Conditional vs. Continuous Lines:
Conditional Line: This line is only plotted if the dollar volume (a rough measure of trade value) exceeds a specified threshold, ensuring that the highlighted level is backed by substantial trading activity.
Continuous Line: A second line is always displayed, providing a running ask-weighted average price reference for additional context, regardless of dollar volume.
Supports Identifying Key Price Zones:
By focusing on where more motivated buyers have been active, the indicator helps traders identify potential inflection points in price, such as areas where the market might find support on pullbacks or resistance during rallies.
Overall, this indicator serves as a specialized tool for traders interested in volume-driven price analysis. It aims to refine the understanding of where buyers are most engaged and how that might shape future price movements.
Risks Associated with Trading:
No indicator can guarantee profitable trades or accurately predict future price movements. Market conditions are inherently unpredictable, and reliance on any single tool or combination of tools carries the risk of financial loss. Traders should practice sound risk management, including the use of stop losses and position sizing, and should not trade with funds they cannot afford to lose. Ultimately, decisions should be guided by a thorough trading plan and possibly supplemented with other forms of market analysis or professional advice.
Risks and Important Considerations:
• Not a Standalone Tool:
• This indicator should not be used in isolation. It is essential to incorporate additional technical analysis tools, fundamental analysis, and market context when making trading decisions.
• Relying solely on this indicator may lead to incomplete assessments of market conditions.
• Market Volatility and False Signals:
• Financial markets can be highly volatile, and indicators based on historical data may not accurately predict future movements.
• The indicator may produce false signals due to sudden market changes, low liquidity, or atypical trading activity.
• Risk Management:
• Always employ robust risk management strategies, including setting stop-loss orders, diversifying your portfolio, and not over-leveraging positions.
• Understand that no indicator guarantees success, and losses are a natural part of trading.
• Emotional Discipline:
• Avoid making impulsive decisions based on indicator signals alone.
• Emotional trading can lead to significant financial losses; maintain discipline and adhere to a well-thought-out trading plan.
• Continuous Learning and Adaptation:
• Stay informed about market news, economic indicators, and global events that may impact trading conditions.
• Continuously evaluate and adjust your trading strategies as market dynamics evolve.

5-Minute YEN Pivot Bars 1.0The 5-Minute YEN Pivot Bars indicator is designed to identify and highlight low-range pivot bars on 5-minute charts, specifically tailored for Yen-based pairs (e.g., GBPJPY, USDJPY). By focusing on precise pip thresholds, this tool helps traders detect potential pivot points within specific trading sessions, while avoiding inside bars and other noise often seen in low-volatility conditions. This can be particularly useful for trend traders and those looking to refine their entry points based on intraday reversals.
Key Features:
- Customized Pip Thresholds for Yen Pairs:
The indicator is pre-configured for Yen pairs, where 1 pip is typically represented by 0.01. It applies these thresholds:
- Limited Range: 4 pips or less between open and close prices.
- High/Low Directionality: At least 3 pips from the close/open to the bar's high or low.
- Open/Close Proximity: 4 pips or less between open and close.
- Inside Bar Tolerance: A tolerance of 3 pips for inside bars, helping reduce false signals from bars contained within the previous bar's range.
- Session-Specific Alerts:
- The indicator allows you to enable alerts for the European Session (6:00-12:00), American Session (12:00-17:00), and London Close (17:00-20:00). You can adjust these times based on your own trading hours or timezone preferences via a time-shift setting.
- Receive real-time alerts when a valid bullish or bearish pivot bar is identified within the chosen sessions, allowing you to respond to potential trade opportunities immediately.
- Time Shift Customization:
- Adjust the "Time Shift" parameter to account for different time zones, ensuring accurate session alignment regardless of your local time.
How It Works:
1. Pivot Bar Identification:
The indicator scans for bars where the difference between the open and close is within the "Limited Range" threshold, and both open and close prices are close to either the high or the low of the bar.
2. Directional Filtering:
It requires the bar to show strong directional bias by enforcing an additional distance between the open/close levels and the opposite end of the bar (high/low). Only bars with this directional structure are considered for highlighting.
3. Exclusion of Inside Bars:
Bars that are completely contained within the range of the previous bar are excluded (inside bars), as are consecutive inside bars. This filtering is essential to avoid marking bars that typically indicate consolidation rather than potential pivot points.
4. Session Alerts:
When a valid pivot bar appears within the selected sessions, an alert is triggered, notifying the trader of a potential trading signal. Bullish and bearish signals are differentiated based on whether the close is near the high or low.
How to Use:
- Trend Reversals: Use this indicator to spot potential trend reversals or pullbacks on a 5-minute chart, especially within key trading sessions.
- Entry and Exit Points: Highlighted bars can serve as potential entry points for traders looking to capitalize on short-term directional changes or continuation patterns.
- Combine with Other Indicators: Consider pairing this tool with momentum indicators or trendlines to confirm the signals, providing a comprehensive analysis framework.
Default Parameters:
- Limited Range: 4 Pips
- High/Low Directionality: 3 Pips
- Open/Close Proximity: 4 Pips
- Inside Bar Tolerance: 3 Pips
- Session Alerts: Enabled for European, American, and London Close sessions
- Time Shift: Default 6 (adjustable to align with different time zones)
This indicator is specifically optimized for Yen pairs on 5-minute charts due to its pip calculation.
FibExtender [tradeviZion]FibExtender : A Guide to Identifying Resistance with Fibonacci Levels
Introduction
Fibonacci levels are essential tools in technical analysis, helping traders identify potential resistance and support zones in trending markets. FibExtender is designed to make this analysis accessible to traders at all levels, especially beginners, by automating the process of plotting Fibonacci extensions. With FibExtender, you can visualize potential resistance levels quickly, empowering you to make more informed trading decisions without manually identifying every pivot point. In this article, we’ll explore how FibExtender works, guide you step-by-step in using it, and share insights for both beginner and advanced users.
What is FibExtender ?
FibExtender is an advanced tool that automates Fibonacci extension plotting based on significant pivot points in price movements. Fibonacci extensions are percentages based on prior price swings, often used to forecast potential resistance zones where price might reverse or consolidate. By automatically marking these Fibonacci levels on your chart, FibExtender saves time and reduces the complexity of technical analysis, especially for users unfamiliar with calculating and plotting these levels manually.
FibExtender not only identifies Fibonacci levels but also provides a customizable framework where you can adjust anchor points, colors, and level visibility to suit your trading strategy. This customization allows traders to tailor the indicator to fit different market conditions and personal preferences.
Key Features of FibExtender
FibExtender offers several features to make Fibonacci level analysis easier and more effective. Here are some highlights:
Automated Fibonacci Level Identification : The script automatically detects recent swing lows and pivot points to anchor Fibonacci extensions, allowing you to view potential resistance levels with minimal effort.
Customizable Fibonacci Levels : Users can adjust the specific Fibonacci levels they want to display (e.g., 0.618, 1.0, 1.618), enabling a more focused analysis based on preferred ratios. Each level can be color-coded for visual clarity.
Dual Anchor Points : FibExtender allows you to choose between anchoring levels from either the last pivot low or a recent swing low, depending on your preference. This flexibility helps in aligning Fibonacci levels with key market structures.
Transparency and Visual Hierarchy : FibExtender automatically adjusts the transparency of levels based on their "sequence age," creating a subtle visual hierarchy. Older levels appear slightly faded, helping you focus on more recent, potentially impactful levels.
Connection Lines for Context : FibExtender draws connecting lines from recent lows to pivot highs, allowing users to visualize the price movements that generated each Fibonacci extension level.
Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners
Let’s walk through how to use the FibExtender script on a TradingView chart. This guide will ensure that you’re able to set it up and interpret the key information displayed by the indicator.
Step 1: Adding FibExtender to Your Chart
Open your TradingView chart and select the asset you wish to analyze.
Search for “FibExtender ” in the Indicators section.
Click to add the indicator to your chart, and it will automatically plot Fibonacci levels based on recent pivot points.
Step 2: Customizing Fibonacci Levels
Adjust Levels : Under the "Fibonacci Settings" tab, you can enable or disable specific levels, such as 0.618, 1.0, or 1.618. You can also change the color for each level to improve visibility.
Set Anchor Points : Choose between "Last Pivot Low" and "Recent Swing Low" as your Fibonacci anchor point. If you want a broader view, choose "Recent Swing Low"; if you prefer tighter levels, "Last Pivot Low" may be more suitable.
Fib Line Length : Modify the line length for Fibonacci levels to make them more visible on your chart.
Step 3: Spotting Visual Clusters (Manual Analysis)
Identify Potential Resistance Clusters : Look for areas on your chart where multiple Fibonacci levels appear close together. For example, if you see 1.0, 1.272, and 1.618 levels clustered within a small price range, this may indicate a stronger resistance zone.
Why Clusters Matter : Visual clusters often signify areas where traders expect heightened price reaction. When levels are close, it suggests that resistance may be reinforced by multiple significant ratios, making it harder for price to break through. Use these clusters to anticipate potential pullbacks or consolidation areas.
Step 4: Observing the Price Action Around Fibonacci Levels
As price approaches these identified levels, watch for any slowing momentum or reversal patterns, such as doji candles or bearish engulfing formations, that might confirm resistance.
Adjust Strategy Based on Resistance : If price hesitates or reverses at a clustered resistance zone, it may be a signal to secure profits or tighten stops on a long position.

FibExtender uses a pivot-high and pivot-low detection function to identify significant price points. The upFractal and dnFractal variables detect these levels based on recent highs and lows, creating the basis for Fibonacci extension calculations. Here’s an example of the code used for this detection:
// Fractal Calculations
upFractal = ta.pivothigh(n, n)
dnFractal = ta.pivotlow(n, n)
By setting the number of periods for n, users can adjust the sensitivity of the script to recent price swings.
Fibonacci Level Calculation
The following function calculates the Fibonacci levels based on the selected pivot points and applies each level’s specific ratio (e.g., 0.618, 1.618) to project extensions above the recent price swing.
calculateFibExtensions(float startPrice, float highPrice, float retracePrice) =>
fibRange = highPrice - startPrice
var float levels = array.new_float(0)
array.clear(levels)
if array.size(fibLevels) > 0
for i = 0 to array.size(fibLevels) - 1
level = retracePrice + (fibRange * array.get(fibLevels, i))
array.push(levels, level)
levels
This function iterates over each level enabled by the user, calculating extensions by multiplying the price range by the corresponding Fibonacci ratio.
Example Use Case: Identifying Resistance in Microsoft (MSFT)
To better understand how FibExtender highlights resistance, let’s look at Microsoft’s stock chart (MSFT), as shown in the image. The chart displays several Fibonacci levels extending upward from a recent pivot low around $408.17. Here’s how you can interpret the chart:
Clustered Resistance Levels : In the chart, note the grouping of several Fibonacci levels in the range of $450–$470. These levels, particularly when tightly packed, suggest a zone where Microsoft may encounter stronger resistance, as multiple Fibonacci levels signal potential barriers.
Applying Trading Strategies : As price approaches this clustered resistance, traders can watch for weakening momentum. If price begins to stall, it may be wise to lock in profits on long positions or set tighter stop-loss orders.
Observing Momentum Reversals : Look for specific candlestick patterns as price nears these levels, such as bearish engulfing candles or doji patterns. Such patterns can confirm resistance, helping you make informed decisions on whether to exit or manage your position.
Conclusion: Harnessing Fibonacci Extensions with FibExtender
FibExtender is a powerful tool for identifying potential resistance levels without the need for manual Fibonacci calculations. It automates the detection of key swing points and projects Fibonacci extensions, offering traders a straightforward approach to spotting potential resistance zones. For beginners, FibExtender provides a user-friendly gateway to technical analysis, helping you visualize levels where price may react.
For those with a bit more experience, the indicator offers insight into pivot points and Fibonacci calculations, enabling you to fine-tune the analysis for different market conditions. By carefully observing price reactions around clustered levels, users can identify areas of stronger resistance and refine their trade management strategies accordingly.
FibExtender is not just a tool but a framework for disciplined analysis. Using Fibonacci levels for guidance can support your trading decisions, helping you recognize areas where price might struggle or reverse. Integrating FibExtender into your trading strategy can simplify the complexity of Fibonacci extensions and enhance your understanding of resistance dynamics.

Trend Levels [ChartPrime]The Trend Levels indicator is designed to identify key trend levels (High, Mid, and Low) during market trends, based on real-time calculations of highest, lowest, and mid-level values over a customizable length. Additionally, the indicator calculates trend strength by measuring the ratio of candles closing above or below the midline, providing a clear view of the ongoing trend dynamics and strength.
⯁ KEY FEATURES AND HOW TO USE
⯌ Trend Shift Signals :
Trend shifts, based on highest and lowest values during input length. When high is == to highest it will change trend to up when low == lowest value it will be shift to down trend.
// Calculate highest and lowest over the specified length
h = ta.highest(length)
l = ta.lowest(length)
// Determine trend direction: if the current high is the highest value, set trend to true
if h == high
trend := true
// If the current low is the lowest value, set trend to false
if l == low
trend := false
Whenever the trend changes direction (from uptrend to downtrend or vice versa), the indicator provides visual cues in the form of arrows. This gives traders clear signals to identify potential trend reversals, enabling them to adjust their strategies accordingly.
⯌ Trend Level Calculation :
As soon as a trend is detected (uptrend or downtrend), the indicator starts calculating the highest, lowest, and mid-level values over the defined period. These levels are plotted on the chart as color-coded lines for easy visualization, allowing traders to quickly spot the key levels within a trend.
⯌ Midline Retests :
Throughout the trend, the mid-level line is often retested, acting as a potential zone for pullbacks or rejections. Traders can use these retests as opportunities for entering positions or confirming trend continuation. The chart shows how price frequently interacts with the midline, helping to identify important reaction levels.
⯌ Trend Strength Calculation :
The indicator measures the trend strength by calculating the delta between the number of candles closing above and below the midline. This percentage-based delta is displayed in real-time, providing a clear indication of whether the trend is gaining or losing momentum.
⯁ USER INPUTS
Length : Specifies the lookback period for calculating the highest and lowest values, which determines the key trend levels.
Candle Counting : Measures the number of candles closing above and below the midline to calculate the trend strength delta.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The Trend Levels indicator provides traders with a powerful tool for visualizing trend dynamics, key levels of support and resistance, and real-time trend strength. By identifying midline retests, tracking candle counts, and providing trend shift signals, this indicator can help traders make well-informed decisions during market trends.

Judas Swing ICT 01 [TradingFinder] New York Midnight Opening M15🔵 Introduction
The Judas Swing (ICT Judas Swing) is a trading strategy developed by Michael Huddleston, also known as Inner Circle Trader (ICT). This strategy allows traders to identify fake market moves designed by smart money to deceive retail traders.
By concentrating on market structure, price action patterns, and liquidity flows, traders can align their trades with institutional movements and avoid common pitfalls. It is particularly useful in FOREX and stock markets, helping traders identify optimal entry and exit points while minimizing risks from false breakouts.
In today's volatile markets, understanding how smart money manipulates price action across sessions such as Asia, London, and New York is essential for success. The ICT Judas Swing strategy helps traders avoid common pitfalls by focusing on key movements during the opening time and range of each session, identifying breakouts and false breakouts.
By utilizing various time frames and improving risk management, this strategy enables traders to make more informed decisions and take advantage of significant market movements.
In the Judas Swing strategy, for a bullish setup, the price first touches the high of the 15-minute range of New York midnight and then the low. After that, the price returns upward, breaks the high, and if there’s a candlestick confirmation during the pullback, a buy signal is generated.
bearish setup, the price first touches the low of the range, then the high. With the price returning downward and breaking the low, if there’s a candlestick confirmation during the pullback to the low, a sell signal is generated.
🔵 How to Use
To effectively implement the Judas Swing strategy (ICT Judas Swing) in trading, traders must first identify the price range of the 15-minute window following New York midnight. This range, consisting of highs and lows, sets the stage for the upcoming movements in the London and New York sessions.
🟣 Bullish Setup
For a bullish setup, the price first moves to touch the high of the range, then the low, before returning upward to break the high. Following this, a pullback occurs, and if a valid candlestick confirmation (such as a reversal pattern) is observed, a buy signal is generated. This confirmation could indicate the presence of smart money supporting the bullish movement.
🟣 Bearish Setup
For a bearish setup, the process is the reverse. The price first touches the low of the range, then the high. Afterward, the price moves downward again and breaks the low. A pullback follows to the broken low, and if a bearish candlestick confirmation is seen, a sell signal is generated. This confirmation signals the continuation of the downward price movement.
Using the Judas Swing strategy enables traders to avoid fake breakouts and focus on strong market confirmations. The strategy is versatile, applying to FOREX, stocks, and other financial instruments, offering optimal trading opportunities through market structure analysis and time frame synchronization.
To execute this strategy successfully, traders must combine it with effective risk management techniques such as setting appropriate stop losses and employing optimal risk-to-reward ratios. While the Judas Swing is a powerful tool for predicting price movements, traders should remember that no strategy is entirely risk-free. Proper capital management remains a critical element of long-term success.
By mastering the ICT Judas Swing strategy, traders can better identify entry and exit points and avoid common traps from fake market movements, ultimately improving their trading performance.
