1St Bar GAP+BkOut Screener v2 by RMFirst Bar Gap and subsequent conditions are used as one of the several strategies for Day traders.
This script runs on first bar and checks if the stocks has an initial Gap (up or down), then checks for next bars to be inside the boundaries of the first candle
you can customize this screener according to your requirement. There are a number of very clever people I have taken bits of code and ideas, thanks to you all :)
Used part of this code as published by @PineCoders and Public Libraries. Also add some power query code to help you create the symbols input in the script

Market structure + TF Bucket Market Structure + TF Bucket
This Pine Script™ indicator, published under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, extends the "Market Structure" script by mickes (), with full credit to mickes. It integrates the enhanced MarketStructure library by Fenomentn (), also based on mickes’ library under MPL 2.0, to provide advanced market structure analysis with multi-timeframe pivot length customization.
Functionality
Market Structure Analysis: Detects internal (orderflow) and swing market structures, visualizing Break of Structure (BOS), Change of Character (CHoCH), Equal High/Low (EQH/EQL), and liquidity zones using the MarketStructure library.
Timeframe Bucket (TF Bucket): Dynamically adjusts pivot lengths for six user-defined timeframes (e.g., 3m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 4h, 12h), optimizing structure detection across different chart timeframes.
Trend Strength Visualization: Displays a trend strength metric (from the library) for internal and swing structures, indicating trend reliability based on pivot frequency and volatility.
Statistics Table: Shows yearly counts of BOS and CHoCH events for internal and swing structures, configurable by a user-defined period.
Screener Support: Outputs BOS and CHoCH signals for TradingView’s screener, with a configurable signal persistence period.
Customizable Alerts: Enables alerts for BOS and CHoCH events, separately configurable for internal and swing structures.
Methodology
Pivot Detection: Uses the library’s Pivot function, which applies a volatility filter (ATR-based) to confirm significant pivots, reducing false signals in low-volatility markets.
TF Bucket: Maps user-selected timeframes to Pine Script’s timeframe.period using f_getTimeframePeriod, applying custom pivot lengths when the chart’s timeframe matches a selected one (or base lengths in Static mode).
Trend Strength: Calculates a score as pivotCount / LeftLength * (currentATR / ATR), displayed via labels to help traders assess trend reliability.
BOS/CHoCH Detection: Identifies BOS when price breaks a pivot in the trend direction and CHoCH when price reverses against the trend, labeling events as “MSF” or “MSF+” based on pivot patterns.
EQH/EQL and Liquidity: Draws boxes for equal high/low zones within ATR-based thresholds and visualizes liquidity levels with confirmation bars.
Statistics and Screener: Tracks BOS/CHoCH events in a yearly table and outputs signals for screener use, with persistence controlled by a user-defined period.
Usage
Integration: Apply the indicator to any chart and import the library via import Fenomentn/MarketStructure/1.
Configuration: Set up to six timeframes with custom pivot lengths, enable/disable internal and swing structures, configure alerts, and adjust statistics years in the settings panel.
Alerts: Enable BOS and CHoCH alerts for real-time notifications, triggered on bar close to avoid repainting.
Screener: Use the plotted signals to monitor BOS/CHoCH events across multiple tickers in TradingView’s screener.
Best Practices: Optimal for forex and crypto charts on 1m to 12h timeframes. Adjust pivot lengths and the library’s volatility threshold for specific market conditions.
Originality
This indicator enhances mickes’ original script with:
Timeframe Bucket: Dynamic pivot length selection for multi-timeframe analysis, not present in the original.
Trend Strength Display: Visualizes the library’s TrendStrength metric for enhanced trend analysis.
Enhanced Library Integration: Leverages Fenomentn/MarketStructure/1, which adds a volatility-based pivot filter, dynamic label sizing, and customizable BOS/CHoCH visualization styles.No additional open-source code was reused beyond mickes’ script and library, fully credited under MPL 2.0.
Clenow MomentumClenow Momentum Method
The Clenow Momentum Method, developed by Andreas Clenow, is a systematic, quantitative trading strategy focused on capturing medium- to long-term price trends in financial markets. Popularized through Clenow’s book, Stocks on the Move: Beating the Market with Hedge Fund Momentum Strategies, the method leverages momentum—an empirically observed phenomenon where assets that have performed well in the recent past tend to continue performing well in the near future.
Theoretical Foundation
Momentum investing is grounded in behavioral finance and market inefficiencies. Investors often exhibit herding behavior, underreact to new information, or chase trends, causing prices to trend beyond fundamental values. Clenow’s method builds on academic research, such as Jegadeesh and Titman (1993), which demonstrated that stocks with high returns over 3–12 months outperform those with low returns over similar periods.
Clenow’s approach specifically uses **annualized momentum**, calculated as the rate of return over a lookback period (typically 90 days), annualized to reflect a yearly percentage. The formula is:
Momentum=(((Close N periods agoCurrent Close)^N252)−1)×100
- Current Close: The most recent closing price.
- Close N periods ago: The closing price N periods back (e.g., 90 days).
- N: Lookback period (commonly 90 days).
- 252: Approximate trading days in a year for annualization.
This metric ranks stocks by their momentum, prioritizing those with the strongest upward trends. Clenow’s method also incorporates risk management, diversification, and volatility adjustments to enhance robustness.
Methodology
The Clenow Momentum Method involves the following steps:
1. Universe Selection:
- A broad universe of liquid stocks is chosen, often from major indices (e.g., S&P 500, Nasdaq 100) or global exchanges.
- Filters should exclude illiquid stocks (e.g., low average daily volume) or those with extreme volatility.
2. Momentum Calculation:
- Stocks are ranked based on their annualized momentum over a lookback period (typically 90 days, though 60–120 days can be common tests).
- The top-ranked stocks (e.g., top 10–20%) are selected for the portfolio.
3. Volatility Adjustment (Optional):
- Clenow sometimes adjusts momentum scores by volatility (e.g., dividing by the standard deviation of returns) to favor stocks with smoother trends.
- This reduces exposure to erratic price movements.
4. Portfolio Construction:
- A diversified portfolio of 10–25 stocks is constructed, with equal or volatility-weighted allocations.
- Position sizes are often adjusted based on risk (e.g., 1% of capital per position).
5. Rebalancing:
- The portfolio is rebalanced periodically (e.g., weekly or monthly) to maintain exposure to high-momentum stocks.
- Stocks falling below a momentum threshold are replaced with higher-ranked candidates.
6. Risk Management:
- Stop-losses or trailing stops may be applied to limit downside risk.
- Diversification across sectors reduces concentration risk.
Implementation in TradingView
Key features include:
- Customizable Lookback: Users can adjust the lookback period in pinescript (e.g., 90 days) to align with Clenow’s methodology.
- Visual Cues: Background colors (green for positive, red for negative momentum) and a zero line help identify trend strength.
- Integration with Screeners: TradingView’s stock screener can filter high-momentum stocks, which can then be analyzed with the custom indicator.
Strengths
1. Simplicity: The method is straightforward, relying on a single metric (momentum) that’s easy to calculate and interpret.
2. Empirical Support: Backed by decades of academic research and real-world hedge fund performance.
3. Adaptability: Applicable to stocks, ETFs, or other asset classes, with flexible lookback periods.
4. Risk Management: Diversification and periodic rebalancing reduce idiosyncratic risk.
5. TradingView Integration: Pine Script implementation enables real-time visualization, enhancing decision-making for stocks like NVDA or SPY.
Limitations
1. Mean Reversion Risk: Momentum can reverse sharply in bear markets or during sector rotations, leading to drawdowns.
2. Transaction Costs: Frequent rebalancing increases trading costs, especially for retail traders with high commissions. This is not as prevalent with commission free trading becoming more available.
3. Overfitting Risk: Over-optimizing lookback periods or filters can reduce out-of-sample performance.
4. Market Conditions: Underperforms in low-momentum or highly volatile markets.
Practical Applications
The Clenow Momentum Method is ideal for:
Retail Traders: Use TradingView’s screener to identify high-momentum stocks, then apply the Pine Script indicator to confirm trends.
Portfolio Managers: Build diversified momentum portfolios, rebalancing monthly to capture trends.
Swing Traders: Combine with volume filters to target short-term breakouts in high-momentum stocks.
Cross-Platform Workflow: Integrate with Python scanners to rank stocks, then visualize on TradingView for trade execution.
Comparison to Other Strategies
Vs. Minervini’s VCP: Clenow’s method is purely quantitative, while Minervini’s Volatility Contraction Pattern (your April 11, 2025 query) combines momentum with chart patterns. Clenow is more systematic but less discretionary.
Vs. Mean Reversion: Momentum bets on trend continuation, unlike mean reversion strategies that target oversold conditions.
Vs. Value Investing: Momentum outperforms in bull markets but may lag value strategies in recovery phases.
Conclusion
The Clenow Momentum Method is a robust, evidence-based strategy that capitalizes on price trends while managing risk through diversification and rebalancing. Its simplicity and adaptability make it accessible to retail traders, especially when implemented on platforms like TradingView with custom Pine Script indicators. Traders must be mindful of transaction costs, mean reversion risks, and market conditions. By combining Clenow’s momentum with volume filters and alerts, you can optimize its application for swing or position trading.

Practical Tips
DOs
Use STRONG signals as primary - they're most reliable
Let signals develop - don't exit on first pullback
Use trailing stop - follow Fast EMA
Combine with levels - S/R, Fibonacci, volumes
Test on demo before real
Adjust Base Multiplier for your timeframe
Enable visual effects - they help see the picture
Use Info Table - quick situation assessment
Watch Pulsing Bar - instant state indicator
Trust auto-sorting of Fast/Mid/Slow
DON'Ts
Don't trade against STRONG signal - trend is your friend
Don't ignore Mid EMA - it adds reliability
Don't use too small Base Multiplier on higher TFs
Don't enter on Golden Cross in range - check for trend
Don't change settings during open position
Don't forget risk management - 1-2% per trade
Don't trade all signals in row - choose best ones
Don't use indicator in isolation - combine with Price Action
Don't set too tight stops - let trade breathe
Don't over-optimize - simplicity = reliability

FAQ
1. Why don't STRONG signals appear?
Possible reasons:
Incorrect Fast/Mid/Slow order
Solution: Indicator automatically sorts EMAs by periods, but ensure selected EMAs have different periods
Base Multiplier too large
Solution: Reduce Base to 5-10 on lower timeframes
Market in range
Solution: STRONG signals appear only in trends - this is normal
Too strict EMA settings
Solution: Try classic combination: Phi³ / Pi×2 / e² with Base=10
Mid EMA too close to Fast or Slow
Solution: Select Mid EMA with period between Fast and Slow
2. How often should STRONG signals appear?
Normal frequency:
M1-M5: 5-15 signals per day (very active markets)
M15-H1: 2-8 signals per day
H4: 3-10 signals per week
D1: 2-5 signals per month
W1: 2-6 signals per year
If too many signals - market very volatile or Base too small
If too few signals - market in range or Base too large
4. What are the best settings for beginners?
Universal "out of the box" settings:
Matrix Core:
Base Multiplier: 10
Source: close
Phi Golden: Enabled, Power = 3
Pi Circular: Enabled, Multiple = 2
e Natural: Enabled, Power = 2
Delta Adaptive: Enabled, Base = 20, Sensitivity = 2.0
Manual Selection:
Fast: Phi Golden
Mid: e Natural
Slow: Pi Circular
Visualization:
Gradient Clouds: ON
Neon Glow: ON (Medium)
Pulsing Bar: ON (Medium)
Signal Highlights: ON (Light Fill)
Table: ON (Top Right, Small)
Signals:
Golden/Death Cross: ON
STRONG Signals: ON
Stop Loss: OFF (while learning)
Timeframe for learning: H1 or H4
5. Can I use only one EMA?
No, minimum 2 EMAs (Fast and Slow) for signal generation.
Mid EMA is optional:
With Mid EMA = more reliable but rarer signals
Without Mid EMA = more signals but less strict filtering
Recommendation: Start with 3 EMAs (Fast/Mid/Slow), then experiment
6. Does the indicator work on cryptocurrencies?
Yes, works excellently! Especially good on:
Bitcoin (BTC)
Ethereum (ETH)
Major altcoins (SOL, BNB, XRP)
Recommended settings for crypto:
Fast: Delta Adaptive (Base 10-15, Sensitivity 2.5-3.0)
Mid: Pi Circular (2Pi)
Slow: e Natural (e²)
Base: 5-10
Timeframe: M15, H1, H4
Crypto market features:
High volatility → use Delta Adaptive
24/7 trading → set alerts
Sharp movements → wide stops
7. Can I trade only with this indicator?
Technically yes, but NOT recommended.
Best approach - combine with:
Price Action - support/resistance levels, candle patterns
Volume - movement strength confirmation
Fibonacci - retracement and extension levels
RSI/MACD - divergences and overbought/oversold
Fundamental analysis - news, company reports
Hellenic Matrix:
Excellently determines trend and its strength
Provides clear entry/exit points
Doesn't consider fundamentals
Doesn't see major levels
8. Why do Gradient Clouds change color?
Color depends on EMA order:
Phi-Pi Cloud:
Blue - Pi EMA above Phi EMA (bullish alignment)
Gold - Phi EMA above Pi EMA (bearish alignment)
Pi-e Cloud:
Green - e EMA above Pi EMA (bullish alignment)
Blue - Pi EMA above e EMA (bearish alignment)
Color change = EMA order change = possible trend change
9. What is Momentum % in the table?
Momentum % = percentage deviation of price from Fast EMA
Formula:
Momentum = ((Close - Fast EMA) / Fast EMA) × 100
Interpretation:
+0.5% to +2% - normal bullish momentum
+2% to +5% - strong bullish momentum
+5% and above - overheating (correction possible)
-0.5% to -2% - normal bearish momentum
-2% to -5% - strong bearish momentum
-5% and below - oversold (bounce possible)
Usage:
Monitor momentum during STRONG signals
Large momentum = don't enter (wait for pullback)
Small momentum = good entry point
10. How to configure for scalping?
Settings for scalping (M1-M5):
Base Multiplier: 3-5
Source: close or hlc3 (smoother)
Fast: Delta Adaptive (Base 8-12, Sensitivity 3.0)
Mid: None (for more signals)
Slow: Phi Golden (Phi²) or Pi Circular (1Pi)
Visualization:
- Gradient Clouds: ON (helps see strength)
- Neon Glow: OFF (doesn't clutter chart)
- Pulsing Bar: ON (quick assessment)
- Signal Highlights: ON
Signals:
- Golden/Death Cross: ON
- STRONG Signals: ON
- Stop Loss: ON (1.0-1.5 ATR, R:R 1.5-2.0)
Scalping rules:
Trade only STRONG signals
Enter on bounce from Fast EMA
Tight stops (10-20 pips)
Quick take profit (+1R to +2R)
Don't hold through news
11. How to configure for long-term investing?
Settings for investing (D1-W1):
Base Multiplier: 20-30
Source: close
Fast: Phi Golden (Phi³ or Phi⁴)
Mid: e Natural (e²)
Slow: Pi Circular (3Pi or 4Pi)
Visualization:
- Gradient Clouds: ON
- Neon Glow: ON (Medium)
- Everything else - to taste
Signals:
- Golden/Death Cross: ON
- STRONG Signals: ON
- Stop Loss: OFF (use percentage stop)
Investing rules:
Enter only on STRONG signals
Hold while STRONG active (weeks/months)
Stop below Slow EMA or -10%
Take profit: by company targets or +50-100%
Ignore short-term pullbacks
12. What if indicator slows down chart?
Indicator is optimized, but if it slows:
Disable unnecessary visual effects:
Neon Glow: OFF (saves 8 plots)
Gradient Clouds: ON but low quality
Lambda Wave EMA: OFF (if not using)
Reduce number of active EMAs:
Sigma Composite: OFF
Lambda Wave: OFF
Leave only Phi, Pi, e, Delta
Simplify settings:
Pulsing Bar: OFF
Greek Labels: OFF
Info Table: smaller size
13. Can I use on different timeframes simultaneously?
Yes! Multi-timeframe analysis is very powerful:
Classic scheme:
Higher TF (D1, W1) - determine global trend
Wait for STRONG signal
This is our trading direction
Middle TF (H4, H1) - look for confirmation
STRONG signal in same direction
Precise entry zone
Lower TF (M15, M5) - entry point
Golden Cross or bounce from Fast EMA
Precise stop loss
Example:
W1: STRONG BUY active (global uptrend)
H4: STRONG BUY appeared (confirmation)
M15: Wait for Golden Cross or bounce from Fast EMA → ENTRY
Advantages:
Maximum reliability
Clear timeframe hierarchy
Large targets
14. How does indicator work on news?
Delta Adaptive EMA adapts excellently to news:
Before news:
Low volatility → Delta EMA becomes fast → pulls to price
During news:
Sharp volatility spike → Delta EMA slows → filters noise
After news:
Volatility normalizes → Delta EMA returns to normal
Recommendations:
Don't trade at news release moment (spreads widen)
Wait for STRONG signal after news (2-5 bars)
Use Delta Adaptive as Fast EMA for quick reaction
Widen stops by 50-100% during important news
Advanced Techniques
Technique 1: "Divergences with EMA"
Idea: Look for discrepancies between price and Fast EMA
Bullish divergence:
Price makes lower low
Fast EMA makes higher low
= Possible reversal up
Bearish divergence:
Price makes higher high
Fast EMA makes lower high
= Possible reversal down
How to trade:
Find divergence
Wait for STRONG signal in divergence direction
Enter on confirmation
Technique 2: "EMA Tunnel"
Idea: Use space between Fast and Slow EMA as "tunnel"
Rules:
Wide tunnel - strong trend, hold position
Narrow tunnel - weak trend or consolidation, caution
Tunnel narrowing - trend weakening, prepare to exit
Tunnel widening - trend strengthening, can add
Visually: Gradient Clouds show this automatically!
Trading:
Enter on STRONG signal (tunnel starts widening)
Hold while tunnel wide
Exit when tunnel starts narrowing
Technique 3: "Wave Analysis with Lambda"
Idea: Lambda Wave EMA creates sinusoid matching market cycles
Setup:
Lambda Base Period: 30
Lambda Wave Amplitude: 0.5
Lambda Wave Frequency: 50 (adjusted to asset cycle)
How to find correct Frequency:
Look at historical cycles (distance between local highs)
Average distance = your Frequency
Example: if highs every 40-60 bars, set Frequency = 50
Trading:
Enter when Lambda Wave at bottom of sinusoid (growth potential)
Exit when Lambda Wave at top (fall potential)
Combine with STRONG signals
Technique 4: "Cluster Analysis"
Idea: When all EMAs gather in narrow cluster = powerful breakout soon
Cluster signs:
All EMAs (Phi, Pi, e, Delta) within 0.5-1% of each other
Gradient Clouds almost invisible
Price jumping around all EMAs
Trading:
Identify cluster (all EMAs close)
Determine breakout direction (where more volume, higher TFs direction)
Wait for breakout and STRONG signal
Enter on confirmation
Target = cluster size × 3-5
This is very powerful technique for big moves!
Technique 5: "Sigma as Dynamic Level"
Idea: Sigma Composite EMA = average of all EMAs = magnetic level
Usage:
Enable Sigma Composite (Weighted Average)
Sigma works as dynamic support/resistance
Price often returns to Sigma before trend continuation
Trading:
In trend: Enter on bounces from Sigma
In range: Fade moves from Sigma (trade return to Sigma)
On breakout: Sigma becomes support/resistance
Risk Management
Basic Rules
1. Position Size
Conservative: 1% of capital per trade
Moderate: 2% of capital per trade (recommended)
Aggressive: 3-5% (only for experienced)
Calculation formula:
Lot Size = (Capital × Risk%) / (Stop in pips × Pip value)
2. Risk/Reward Ratio
Minimum: 1:1.5
Standard: 1:2 (recommended)
Optimal: 1:3
Aggressive: 1:5+
3. Maximum Drawdown
Daily: -3% to -5%
Weekly: -7% to -10%
Monthly: -15% to -20%
Upon reaching limit → STOP trading until end of period
Position Management Strategies
1. Fixed Stop
Method:
Stop below/above Fast EMA or local extreme
DON'T move stop against position
Can move to breakeven
For whom: Beginners, conservative traders
2. Trailing by Fast EMA
Method:
Each day (or bar) move stop to Fast EMA level
Position closes when price breaks Fast EMA
Advantages:
Stay in trend as long as possible
Automatically exit on reversal
For whom: Trend followers, swing traders
3. Partial Exit
Method:
50% of position close at +2R
50% hold with trailing by Mid EMA or Slow EMA
Advantages:
Lock profit
Leave position for big move
Psychologically comfortable
For whom: Universal method (recommended)
4. Pyramiding
Method:
First entry on STRONG signal (50% of planned position)
Add 25% on pullback to Fast EMA
Add another 25% on pullback to Mid EMA
Overall stop below Slow EMA
Advantages:
Average entry price
Reduce risk
Increase profit in strong trends
Caution:
Works only in trends
In range leads to losses
For whom: Experienced traders
Trading Psychology
Correct Mindset
1. Indicator is a tool, not holy grail
Indicator shows probability, not guarantee
There will be losing trades - this is normal
Important is series statistics, not one trade
2. Trust the system
If STRONG signal appeared - enter
Don't search for "perfect" moment
Follow trading plan
3. Patience
STRONG signals don't appear every day
Better miss signal than enter against trend
Quality over quantity
4. Discipline
Always set stop loss
Don't move stop against position
Don't increase risk after losses
Beginner Mistakes
1. "I know better than indicator"
Indicator says STRONG BUY, but you think "too high, will wait for pullback"
Result: miss profitable move
Solution: Trust signals or don't use indicator
2. "Will reverse now for sure"
Trading against STRONG trend
Result: stops, stops, stops
Solution: Trend is your friend, trade with trend
3. "Will hold a bit more"
Don't exit when STRONG signal disappears
Greed eats profit
Solution: If signal gone - exit!
4. "I'll recover"
After losses double risk
Result: huge losses
Solution: Fixed % risk ALWAYS
5. "I don't like this signal"
Skip signals because of "feeling"
Result: inconsistency, no statistics
Solution: Trade ALL signals or clearly define filters

[#ps #mft] RDT's Real Relative StrengthIndicator to use with Pine Screener for filtering watchlists with RDT's Real Relative Strength.
See r/realdaytrading for more info on the RRS.
How to:
1. Mark the indicator as "Favorite".
2. Open Pine Screener.
3. Choose a watchlist.
4. Choose this indicator.
5. Change the settings as needed.
6. Make sure you set timeframe to "5 minutes" and not the default "1 day".
If you choose "Bullish trend", then "Signal X" is a shortcut for RRS > 0 for that timeframe. Similarly "Bearish trend" for "Signal X" means RRS < 0.
Pro-tip #1: use Symbol syncing between tabs to easily go over the results.
Pro-tip #2: you can have two tabs open for "Bullish" and "Bearish" pine screeners (even synced to the same color), so you don't have to change settings everytime.
Correlation AnalysisAs the name suggests, this indicator is a market correlation analysis tool.
It contains two main features:
- The Curve: represents the historic correlation coefficient between the current chart and the “Reference Market” input from the settings menu. It aims to give more depth to the current correlation values found in the second feature.
- The Screener: this second feature displays all correlation coefficient values between the (max) 20 markets inputs. You can use it to create several screeners for several market types (crypto, forex, metals, etc.) or even replicate your current portfolio of investments and gauge the correlation of its components.
Aside from these two previous features, you can visually plot the variation rate from one bar to another along with the covariance coefficient (both used in the correlation calculation). Finally, a simple “signal” moving average can be applied to the correlation coefficient .
I might add alerts to this script or even turn it into a strategy to do some backtesting. Do not hesitate to contact me or comment below if this is something you would be interested in or if you have any suggestions for improvement.

Intelligent Currency Breakout ChannelIndicator: Intelligent Currency Breakout Channel
This document provides a detailed explanation of the "Intelligent Currency Breakout Channel" indicator for TradingView.
1. Overview
The Intelligent Currency Breakout Channel is an advanced technical analysis tool designed to identify periods of price consolidation and signal potential breakouts. It automatically draws channels around ranging price action and utilizes sophisticated volume analysis to provide deeper insights into market sentiment. The indicator also includes a built-in logarithmic regression screener to help traders align their breakout signals with the broader market trend.
2. Key Features
Automatic Channel Detection: The indicator identifies periods of low volatility and automatically draws a containing channel (box) around the price action.
Breakout Signals: It generates clear visual alerts (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish) when the price closes decisively outside of a channel.
In-Depth Volume Analysis: Within each channel, the indicator plots volume as candlestick-like bars, offering three distinct modes: Total Volume, Buy/Sell Comparison, and Volume Delta. This helps traders gauge the strength and conviction behind price movements.
Real-time Sentiment Gauge: When a channel is active, a dynamic color-graded gauge appears on the right side of the chart. It visualizes the current volume delta momentum relative to its recent range, offering an at-a-glance sentiment reading.
Integrated Trend Screener: A secondary analysis tool based on logarithmic regression is included to determine the underlying trend direction (Up, Down, or Neutral), which can be used to filter breakout signals.
Fully Customizable: Users can extensively customize all parameters, from calculation lengths and breakout sensitivity to the visual appearance of every component.
3. How to Use
Channel Formation: Watch for the indicator to draw a new channel. This signifies that the market is in a consolidation or ranging phase. The formation of a channel itself can be an alertable event.
Volume Interpretation: Observe the volume bars inside the channel. An increase in volume as the price approaches the channel's upper or lower boundary can foreshadow a potential breakout. Use the Volume Display Mode to analyze if buying pressure (Comparison, Delta) or selling pressure is building.
Breakout Confirmation: A bullish breakout signal (▲) appears when the price closes above the channel's upper boundary. A bearish breakout signal (▼) appears when the price closes below the lower boundary. For higher-quality signals, enable the Strong Closes Only option.
Trend Confirmation (Screener): Use the screener's plot and background color to confirm the broader trend. For instance, you might choose to only take bullish breakout signals when the screener indicates an uptrend (green background) and bearish signals when it indicates a downtrend (red background).
Sentiment Gauge: The pointer on the gauge indicates current momentum. A pointer in the upper (green) section suggests bullish pressure, while a pointer in the lower (red) section suggests bearish pressure. This can provide additional confluence for a trade decision.
4. Settings and Inputs
Main Settings
Overlap Channels: If enabled, allows multiple channels to be drawn on the chart simultaneously, even if they overlap. When disabled, a new channel will only form if it doesn't intersect with an existing one.
Strong Closes Only: If enabled, a breakout is only triggered if the midpoint of the candle's body (average of open and close) is outside the channel. This helps filter out false signals caused by long wicks. If disabled, any close outside the channel triggers a breakout.
Normalization Length: The lookback period (in bars) used for price normalization. A higher value creates a more stable normalization but may be slower to react to recent price changes.
Box Detection Length: The lookback period used to detect the channel formation pattern. A lower value will result in more frequent channels but may be more sensitive to noise. A higher value will result in fewer, but potentially more significant, channels.
Volume Analysis
Show Volume Analysis: Toggles the visibility of the candlestick-like volume bars inside the channel.
Volume Display Mode:
Volume: Displays total volume as symmetrical bars around the channel's midline.
Comparison: Shows buying volume (green) above the midline and selling volume (red) below it.
Delta: Shows the net difference between buying and selling volume. Positive delta is shown above the midline, and negative delta is shown below.
Volume Delta Timeframe Source: The timeframe from which to source volume data for calculations. Using a lower timeframe can provide a more granular view of volume dynamics.
Volume Scaling: A multiplier that adjusts the vertical size of the volume bars relative to the channel's height.
Appearance
Volume Text Size: Sets the size of the volume data text displayed in the corners of the channel. Options: Tiny, Small, Medium, Large.
Bullish Color: The primary color for all bullish visual elements, including breakout signals and positive volume bars.
Bearish Color: The primary color for all bearish visual elements, including breakout signals and negative volume bars.
Screener Settings
Lookback Period: The number of bars used for the logarithmic regression calculation to determine the trend.
Screener Type:
Log Regression Channel: The signal is based on the slope of the entire regression channel over the lookback period. An upward sloping channel is bullish (1), and a downward sloping one is bearish (-1).
Logarithmic Regression: The signal is based on the most recent value of the regression line compared to its value 3 bars ago. This provides a more responsive measure of the immediate trend.
5. Alerts
You can set up the following alerts through the TradingView alerts panel:
New Channel Formed: Triggers when a new price consolidation channel is detected and drawn on the chart.
Bullish Breakout: Triggers when the price breaks out and closes above the upper boundary of a channel.
Bearish Breakout: Triggers when the price breaks out and closes below the lower boundary of a channel.
Is In Channel: Triggers on every bar that the price is currently trading inside an active channel.
Signal UP: Triggers when the Screener's signal turns bullish (1).
Signal DOWN: Triggers when the Screener's signal turns bearish (-1).

CBC Flip with Volume [Pt]█ CBC Flip with Volume
A price-action based indicator that detects real-time control flips between bulls and bears, enhanced with volume filtering and Pine Screener compatibility.
This tool tracks when the market shifts from bear control to bull control or vice versa, using candle structure and volume behavior. It highlights key reversal points, filters low-conviction moves, and provides two screener-ready outputs for directional monitoring.
█ What It Detects
This script identifies when control flips between buyers and sellers on a candle-by-candle basis. A flip is confirmed only when both price structure and volume meet strict criteria. The indicator uses an internal state to track who is in control and updates when a flip occurs.
█ Flip Conditions
Bull Flip
• Previous bar was under bear control
• Current candle closes above the previous high
• Candle is bullish (close is above open)
• Volume is greater than the previous bar
Bear Flip
• Previous bar was under bull control
• Current candle closes below the previous low
• Candle is bearish (close is below open)
• Volume is greater than the previous bar
When a flip occurs, the indicator updates the control state and records the open price of the flip candle.
█ Strong Flip Detection
A flip is considered strong when volume is also greater than the average volume over a set number of candles (default is 50). Strong flips are visually emphasized using larger markers and darker background shading. This helps filter out moves that lack follow-through volume.
█ Visual Elements on Chart
• Bull Flip (Normal): Small teal triangle below the candle
• Bull Flip (Strong): Larger green triangle below the candle
• Bear Flip (Normal): Small salmon triangle above the candle
• Bear Flip (Strong): Larger red triangle above the candle
• Background Color:
– Green shades for bull flips
– Red shades for bear flips
– Darker color when flip is strong
These visual elements appear only on the candle where a flip is detected. No markers are shown on continuation candles.
█ Inputs
• Volume MA Lookback : Sets the moving average length used for determining whether volume is high enough for a strong flip (default: 50)
█ Alerts
• Bull Flip – Notifies when bulls take control
• Bear Flip – Notifies when bears take control
Alerts are triggered at candle close.
█ Pine Screener Support
This script includes two output columns for TradingView’s Pine Screener:
• Bull in Control (% gain) : Shows the percentage gain from the bull flip’s open to the current close. Resets to 0 when bulls lose control.
• Bear in Control (% gain) : Shows the percentage drop from the bear flip’s open to the current close (as a positive number). Resets to 0 when bears lose control.
These outputs allow you to filter for active moves. For example:
• Bull in Control (% gain) > 2.0 to find strong uptrends
• Bear in Control (% gain) > 1.5 to find sharp breakdowns
█ Use Cases
• Confirm breakouts using volume-backed flips
• Spot short-term reversals at key zones
• Filter out low-volume chop
• Combine screener results with trend or volatility filters
• Build entries around control flips and follow-through strength
Inspired by MapleStax’s original CBC method.
GROK - 40 Day High BreakoutTitle: GROK - Customizable High Breakout Detector
To scan base breakout with Pine Screener
Description:
This Pine Script indicator identifies high breakout patterns based on a user-defined lookback period. By default, it checks for a breakout of the 40-day high, but the period can be adjusted to suit your trading strategy. Key features include:
Custom Lookback Period: Easily modify the number of days for high breakout detection. Lookback period is length of base you want to scan using pine screener.
Visual Alerts: Displays a green triangle above the price bar when a breakout is detected.
Alert Conditions: Built-in alert notifications for automated breakout detection.
Screener Compatibility: Plots breakout signals as a histogram for screener use.
This script is ideal for traders looking to identify strong breakout patterns and incorporate them into their strategies.
How to Use:
Adjust the lookback period in the settings to match your desired breakout criteria.
Add alerts for automated notifications when a breakout is detected.
Use the visual markers and histogram to analyze breakout patterns on your chart.
Relative Volume & RSI PopThis is a basic idea/script designed to take a breakout trade by taking advantage of volume spikes when price/strength is extended (either long or short).
The script only utilises two indicators, the Relative Volume (RV) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The script allows the user to select a RSI value between 69 up to 100 for a long trade and between 35 down to 0 for short trade and then pair this with RV from 0 - 10. The period for both the RSI and RV can also be amended by the user but I found in most cases there was no benefit gained by changing away from normal "14" period lookback. The script typically only has small draw downs as the script is designed to exit the trade when the RSI returns back to "normalised" level, therefore the trades are generally quite short. The exit condition for a long trade is when RSI crosses back below 69 (which is why you cannot enter a long below this value) and for a short the, trade will close when RSI crosses back above 35 (which is why you cannot enter a short above this value). These exit values are locked.
By allowing RSI value to go all the way up to "100" on the long side and "0" on the short side this in effect is a way of eliminating the script from taking either longs or shorts if lets say you wanted to back test the script for long only spikes or short only spike. E.G. By setting RSI upper value to "75" the RV to "1" and RSI lower value to "0" then no short trades will not be taken in your back test as the RSI never really gets down to zero.
I put this together with meme stocks in mind and back tested it on day charts for AMC and then a few trending style stocks too. It typically worked best as long only and with RSI settings between 71 - 75 and RV at 1 or 1.5. I also found it had okay results on some lower 1hr timeframe futures markets and weekly time frames too (albeit trades were few and far between on weekly timeframe).
The beauty of such a basic script you could easily set up a trading view screener to look for these opportunities everyday and perhaps even add in an ADX filter on the screener to see if the trend is increasing. Then use this script to run a back test on the stocks that you've selected from the screener.
ICT Levels Breach Scanner (12M Timeframe)Detects and scans for breaches of key Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts on the yearly (12M) chart: Swing Lows (3-bar wick pivots), Rejection Blocks (3-bar body pivots), Fair Value Gaps (3-bar inefficiencies), and Volume Imbalances (bullish body gaps ≥0.15%, unmitigated).
Features:
Tracks active levels with arrays for real-time breach detection (price low below any level triggers alert).
Visuals: Blue solid lines (Swing Lows), orange dashed (Rejection Blocks), purple dotted (FVGs), green boxes (VIs)—all extending right.
Red triangle + bgcolor alert on breach bar; built-in alertcondition for notifications.
Optimized for Pine Screener: Filter stocks (e.g., US exchanges) showing symbols where price has traded below these levels on the latest 12M bar.
Usage: Apply to a 12M chart for viz, or add to Screener > Pine tab for multi-symbol scans. Customize gap % or add bearish variants via inputs. Ideal for spotting potential support in long-term trends.

Market Structure Report Library [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
Market Structure is one of the most fundamental concepts in Price Action and Smart Money theory. In simple terms, it represents how price moves between highs and lows and reveals which phase of the market cycle we are currently in uptrend, downtrend, or transition.
Each structure in the market is formed by a combination of Breaks of Structure (BoS) and Changes of Character (CHoCH) :
BoS occurs when the market breaks a previous high or low, confirming the continuation of the current trend.
CHoCH occurs when price breaks in the opposite direction for the first time, signaling a potential trend reversal.
Since price movement is inherently fractal, market structure can be analyzed on two distinct levels :
Major / External Structure: represents the dominant macro trend.
Minor / Internal Structure: represents corrective or smaller-scale movements within the larger trend.
🔵 Library Purpose
The “Market Structure Report Library” is designed to automatically detect the current market structure type in real time.
Without drawing or displaying any visuals, it analyzes raw price data and returns a series of logical and textual outputs (Return Values) that describe the current structural state of the market.
It provides the following information :
Trend Type :
External Trend (Major): Up Trend, Down Trend, No Trend
Internal Trend (Minor): Up Trend, Down Trend, No Trend
Structure Type :
BoS : Confirms trend continuation
CHoCH : Indicates a potential trend reversal
Consecutive BoS Counter : Measures trend strength on both Major and Minor levels.
Candle Type : Returns the current candle’s condition(Bullish, Bearish, Doji)
This library is specifically designed for use in Smart Money–based screeners, indicators, and algorithmic strategies.
It can analyze multiple symbols and timeframes simultaneously and return the exact structure type (BoS or CHoCH) and trend direction for each.
🔵 Function Outputs
The function MS() processes the price data and returns seven key outputs,
each representing a distinct structural state of the market. These values can be used in indicators, strategies, or multi-symbol screeners.

Session-Conditioned Regime ATRWhy this exists
Classic ATR is great—until the open. The first few bars often inherit overnight gaps and 24-hour noise that have nothing to do with the intraday regime you actually trade. That inflates early ATR, scrambles thresholds, and invites hyper-recency bias (“today is crazy!”) when it’s just the open being the open.
This tool was built to:
Separate session reality from 24h noise. Measure volatility only inside your defined session (e.g., NYSE 09:30–16:00 ET).
Judge candles against the current regime, not the last 2–3 bars. A rolling statistic from the last N completed sessions defines what “typical” means right now.
Label “large” and “small” objectively. Bars are colored only when True Range meaningfully departs from the session regime—no gut feel, no open-bar distortion (gap inclusion optional).
Overview
Purpose: objectively identify unusually big or small candles within the active trading session, compared to the recent session regime.
Use cases: volatility filters, entry/exit confirmation, session bias detection, adaptive sizing.
This indicator replaces generic ATR with a session-conditioned, regime-aware measure. It colors candles only when their True Range (TR) is abnormally large/small versus the last N completed sessions of the same session window.
How it works
Session gating: Only bars inside the selected session are evaluated (presets for NYSE, CME RTH, FX NY; custom supported).
Per-bar TR: TR = max(high, prevRef) − min(low, prevRef).
prevRef is the prior close for in-session bars.
First bar of the session can include the overnight gap (optional; default off).
Regime statistic: For any bar in session k, aggregate all in-session TRs from the previous N completed sessions (k−N … k−1), then compute Median (default) or Mean.
Today’s anchor: Running statistic from today’s session start → current bar (for context and the on-chart ratio).
Color logic:
Big if TR ≥ bigMult × RegimeStat
Small if TR ≤ smallMult × RegimeStat
Colored states: big bull, big bear, small bull, small bear.
Non-triggering bars retain the chart’s native colors.
Panel (top-right by default)
Regime ATR (Nd): session-conditioned statistic over the past N completed sessions.
Today ATR (anchored): running statistic for the current session.
Ratio (Today/Regime): intraday volatility vs regime.
Sample size n: number of bars used in the regime calculation.
Inputs
Session Preset: NYSE (09:30–16:00 ET), CME RTH (08:30–15:00 CT), FX NY (08:00–17:00 ET), Custom (session + IANA timezone).
Regime Window: number of completed sessions (default 5).
Statistic: Median (robust) or Mean.
Include Open Gap: include overnight gap in the first in-session bar’s TR (default off).
Big/Small thresholds: multipliers relative to RegimeStat (defaults: Big=1.5×, Small=0.67×).
Colors: four independent colors for big/small × bull/bear.
Panel position & text size.
Hidden outputs: expose RegimeStat, TodayStat, Ratio, and Z-score to other scripts.
Alerts
RegimeATR: BIG bar — triggers when a bar meets the “Big” condition.
RegimeATR: SMALL bar — triggers when a bar meets the “Small” condition.
Hidden outputs (for strategies/screeners)
RegimeATR_stat, TodayATR_stat, Today_vs_Regime_Ratio, BarTR_Zscore.
Notes & limitations
No look-ahead: calculations only use information available up to that bar. Historical colors reflect what would have been known then.
Warm-up: colors begin once there are at least N completed sessions; before that, regime is undefined by design.
Changing inputs (session window, multipliers, median/mean, gap toggle) recomputes the full series using the same rolling regime logic per bar.
Designed for standard candles. Styling respects existing chart colors when no condition triggers.
Practical tips
For a broader or tighter notion of “unusual,” adjust Big/Small multipliers.
Prefer Median in markets prone to outliers; use Mean if you want Z-score alignment with the panel’s regime mean/std.
Use the Ratio readout to spot compression/expansion days quickly (e.g., <0.7× = compressed session, >1.3× = expanded).
Roadmap
More session presets:
24h continuous (crypto, index CFDs).
23h/Globex futures (CME ETH with a 60-minute maintenance break).
Regional equities (LSE, Xetra, TSE), Asia/Europe/NY overlaps for FX.
Half-day/holiday templates and dynamic calendars.
Multi-regime comparison: track multiple overlapping regimes (e.g., RTH vs ETH for futures) and show separate stats/ratios.
Robust stats options: trimmed mean, MAD/Huber alternatives; optional percentile thresholds instead of fixed multipliers.
Subpanel visuals: rolling TodayATR and Ratio plots; optional Z-score ribbon.
Screener/strategy hooks: export boolean series for BIG/SMALL, plus a lightweight strategy template for backtesting entries/exits conditioned on regime volatility.
Performance/QOL: per-symbol presets, smarter warm-up, and finer control over sample caps for ultra-low TF charts.

Phaser [QuantVue]The Phaser indicator is a tool to help identify inflection points by looking at price relative to past prices across multiple timeframes and assets.
Phase 1 looks for the price to be higher or lower than the closing price of the bar 4 bars earlier and is complete when 9 consecutive bars meet this criterion.
A completed Phase 1 is considered perfect when the highs (bearish) or lows (bullish) have been exceeded from bars 6 and 7 of the phase.
A bullish setup requires 9 consecutive closes less than the close 4 bars earlier.
A bearish setup requires 9 consecutive closes greater than the close 4 bars earlier.
Phase 2 begins once Phase 1 has been completed. Phase 2 compares the current price to the high or low of two bars earlier.
Unlike Phase 1, Phase 2 does not require the count to be consecutive.
Phase 2 is considered complete when 13 candles have met the criteria.
An important aspect to Phase 2 is the relationship between bar 13 and bar 8.
To ensure the end of Phase 2 is in line with the existing trend, the high or low of bar 13 is compared to the close of bar 8.
A bullish imperfect 13 occurs when the current price is less than the low of 2 bars earlier, but the current low is greater than the close of bar 8 in Phase 2.
A bearish imperfect 13 occurs when the current price is greater than the high of 2 bars earlier, but the current high is less than the close of bar 8 in Phase 2.
Phase 2 does not need to go until it is complete. A Phase 2 can be canceled if the price closes above or below the highest or lowest price from Phase 1.

MTF VFSMA SqueezeThe purpose of this indicator is to detect a market squeeze (lack of volatility) period and to identify the initiation and direction of the breakout.
It is based on Variety-Filtered, Squeeze Moving Averages indicator.
The original indicator created by Loxx identifies both squeeze zones and breakouts/breakdowns. A squeeze zone is defined when price is below a specific volatility threshold calculated as the difference between a fast- and slow-moving average and filtered using ATR- or Pips-based threshold.
It operates on a single timeframe and includes Loxx's Expanded Source Types, signals, alerts, etc. and 35+ Loxx's Moving Averages. These adaptive, minimal-lag indicators are built upon advanced mathematical and signal processing DSP techniques that far surpass traditional Moving Averages.
This currently published indicator includes the following main developments:
Squeeze Detection using Percentile Rank Method
It detects the Squeeze by applying a Percentile Rank to the historical distance (spread) between the two MAs.
MA Spread: The basis for Squeeze detection is the distance between the two moving averages.
Percentile Rank: A statistical measure that indicates the percentage of past Spread values within the set lookback period that are lower than the current MA Spread.
Squeeze State: A Squeeze occurs when the Percentile Rank is below the set Squeeze Threshold (%)).
Example: If the threshold is 20% and the Rank is 15%, it means the MA Spread is in its tightest 15% range, below the set threshold. Therefore, the condition is currently met.
Goal: Objective volatility measurement that adapts to market conditions.
Squeeze Duration Filter
A key condition for a Breakout signal is that the MAs must have remained in the Squeeze zone for a specified minimum duration.
Goal: To filter out market noise and False Breakouts.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Confluence
Multi-Timeframe trend and squeeze monitoring for 3 timeframes (TFs).
Provides confirmation using the MA status from two higher timeframes (TF2, TF3).
Goal: Trend and momentum confirmation from a broader market context.
Signals Only on Bar Close?
By selecting the signalOnClose parameter to enabled, it is possible to avoid repainting on the chart TF. If it is checked, all events on the chart (L/S signals, Squeeze Start/End, MA color change) will only appear after the bar has closed, preventing repainting. Higher TF events remain in real-time.
Goal: To increase the reliability of signals.
Multi-Level Alerts and Info Panel
Comprehensive, confluence-weighted alerts and real-time status display.
Enhanced Alerts based on multi-timeframe confluences. Alerts are ready to enable/disable for Any alert() function call and ready for watchlists. Alert Frequency is also configurable in Inputs window. „Once per bar close” is the most reliable for signals. „Always” or „Once per bar” alert frequencies may generate temporary signal alerts.
Please note that even if "Once per bar close" is selected as alert frequency, this only applies to the chart TF, and TF2 and TF3 status may be modified until the close of the relevant candle.
Goal: Transparent decision-making.
Other Improvements
Unlike the original indicator, the coloring of the MA curves on the chart depends on the relative positions of the fast MA and slow MA. The curves are colored bullish when the fast MA is above the slow MA, bearish when the opposite is true, and neutral in the squeeze zone.
Data Window with Squeeze Start/End, Buy/Sell, Status, Squeeze Percentile etc. on all 3 TFs.
Ready for Pine Screener.
Please be aware that currently only the chart TF is configurable in Pine Screener, TF2 and TF3 are set to their default values.
Pine Script® version 6.
Limitations
When setting the indicator parameters, please take into account the limitations of TradingView. (Lookback period of Percentile Rank and Moving Averages periods, Execution time limit (timeout) etc.)
For example, if a NaN% message appears as the Percentile Rank value, please reduce the lookback period.
How to use it
This indicator is a Breakout-following system, but it can also be the basis for Range Trading.
The Setup Phase
This is the preparation stage. The indicator signals low volatility as the bands tighten.
Squeeze Dynamics: Monitoring the Squeeze Duration is essential. The longer the price spends in the Squeeze zone, the more likely the resulting breakout will be powerful.
The Signal Phase (Breakout)
The Breakout signal appears on the bar where the Percentile Rank first crosses above the Squeeze threshold, indicating a sudden return of volatility.
Further condition: Meets the SqueezeDuration filter.
Breakout direction: Bullish: Fast MA > SLow MA, Bearish: Fast MA < SLow MA
Applying MTF Confluence:
The most promising trades that are in line with higher timeframes:
Total Confluence: Chart TF Signal + TF2 Bullish/Bearish + TF3 Bullish/Bearish. This is the strongest, highest-probability setup.
Simple signal: Only the Chart TF signals. This should be handled with caution, as the higher timeframes (TF2, TF3) might still be in a Squeeze or in a conflicting state.
Alternative Use: Range Trading within the Squeeze Bands
If the market has low volume, the squeeze bands can be used as dynamic support/resistance for bounces off the edges of the range:
The probability of a successful range trade increases if the boundaries of the squeeze zone have only been touched a few times previously. Each touch weakens the zone boundaries and increases the chance of a Breakout.
Suggested Tactics and Risk Management
When using Breakout strategies, strict risk management and the use of confirmations are essential:
Volume Confirmation: A strong, above-average volume Breakout candle increases the probability of a successful breakout.
False Breakout: If the breakout occurs on low volume, there is a higher chance of a pullback and a False Breakout.
Entry After Retest: A safer entry: wait until the price breaks out, but only enter if it returns to the squeeze zone and bounces back from there. This reduces the risk of a False Breakout trap.
The Risk of False Breakout:
False Breakouts are part of any Breakout strategy. Always have a strict Stop Loss set.
Reversal: Be prepared for the possibility that after a Breakout signal (e.g., Long), the price returns to the zone and then breaks out in the opposite (Short) direction.
Please note that all technical analysis and trading signals only indicate probabilities. Always use your own risk management rules and follow market regulations.
