Weekly opening targets +-5%## Summary
This indicator automatically plots key percentage-based price levels above and below the current week's opening price. It is designed to provide traders with a clear map of potential intra-week support, resistance, and target zones based on clean, mathematical levels.
The script is lightweight and focuses on providing a clutter-free visual guide, making it easy to identify significant price areas at a glance.
## Features
Weekly Open Pivot: A central blue line clearly marks the opening price for the current week, acting as the primary baseline for all calculations.
Precise 1% Levels: The indicator calculates and draws horizontal lines at exact 1% increments away from the weekly open, covering a range from +/- 1% up to +/- 5%.
Color-Coded Zones: Levels above the weekly open are colored green (representing potential resistance or target zones), while levels below are colored red (representing potential support).
Real-Time Price Labels: To ensure clarity, clean labels are displayed on the right-hand side of the chart. Each label shows both its percentage deviation and the exact price, updating automatically with the latest data.
## How to Use
This tool is versatile, but here are a few common applications:
Identifying Support & Resistance: The primary use is to watch for price reactions at these calculated levels. A bounce off a lower (red) level could signal support, while a rejection from an upper (green) level could signal resistance.
Setting Profit Targets: The levels serve as excellent, non-subjective price targets. For example, if you enter a long position near the weekly open, the +1% and +2% levels are logical areas to consider taking profit.
Gauging Weekly Momentum: The distance price travels between these levels can help gauge the strength of the weekly trend. Consistently breaking through levels indicates strong momentum, while failing to do so may suggest consolidation.
This indicator is particularly useful for day traders and swing traders who use the weekly open as a key reference point for market sentiment and direction.

Dual Vwap on IntradayIndicator Name: Dual VWAP on Intraday
Version: Pine Script v5
Description
This indicator plots two separate VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) lines on intraday charts, helping traders identify intraday trend bias and potential support/resistance zones.
The script is designed exclusively for intraday timeframes and will stop execution if used on daily or higher intervals.
🔍 How It Works
VWAP Calculation
Uses a custom function that calculates VWAP fresh for each trading session.
VWAP #1: Based on hl2 (average of high and low).
VWAP #2: Based on high price.
Dynamic Color Coding
The VWAP lines change color if the percentage change from the previous bar exceeds ±0.5%, signaling notable short-term volatility.
Otherwise, they retain their default colors:
Blue: VWAP (hl2 source)
Orange: VWAP (High source)
Intraday-Only Restriction
Prevents accidental use on higher timeframes to maintain accuracy.
📈 How to Use
Trend Confirmation: Both VWAPs above price → Bearish bias; both below → Bullish bias.
Support/Resistance: VWAP lines often act as strong intraday support or resistance.
Momentum Shift: Watch for price crossing either VWAP with strong candle bodies for potential reversals or breakouts.
Volatility Alerts: Darkened VWAP line indicates an intraday percentage change greater than 0.5%, signaling increased momentum.
⚠️ Notes
Works only on intraday timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, etc.).
Best paired with volume and price action analysis.
Super MTF Clouds (4x3 Pairs)Overview:
This script is based on Ripster's MTF clouds, which transcends the standard moving average cloud indicator by offering a powerful and deeply customizable Multi-Timeframe (MTF) analysis. Instead of being limited to the moving averages of your current charts from the current timeframe, this tool allows you to project and visualize the trend and key support/resistance zones from up to 4 different timeframes simultaneously. User can input up to 6 different EMA values which will form 3 pairs of EMA clouds, for each of the timeframes.
The primary purpose is to provide traders with immediate confluence. By observing how price interacts with moving average clouds from higher timeframes (e.g., Hourly, Daily, Weekly), you can make more informed decisions on your active trading timeframe (e.g., 10 Minute). It's designed as a complete MTF Cloud toolkit, allowing you to display all necessary MTFs in a single script to build a comprehensive view of the market structure without having to flick to different timeframe to look for cloud positions.
Key features:
Four Independent Multi-Timeframe Slots: Each slot can be assigned any timeframe available on TradingView (e.g., D, W, M, 4H).
Three MA Pairs Per Timeframe: For each timeframe, configure up to three separate MA clouds (e.g., a 9/12 EMA pair, a 20/50 EMA pair, and a 100/200 SMA pair).
Complete Customisation: For every single moving average (24 in total), you can independently control:
MA Type: Choose between EMA or SMA.
Length: Any period you require.
Line Color: Full colour selection.
Line Thickness: Adjust the visual weight of each line.
Cloud Control: For every pair (12 in total), you can set the fill colour and transparency.
How To Use This Script:
This tool is best used for confirmation and context. Here are some practical strategies that one can adopt:
Trend Confluence: Before taking a trade based on a signal on your current timeframe, glance at the higher timeframe clouds. If you see a buy signal on the 15-minute chart and the price is currently trading above a thick, bullish Daily cloud, the probability of that trade succeeding is significantly higher. Conversely, shorting into strong HTF support is a low-probability trade.
Dynamic Support & Resistance: The edges of the higher timeframe clouds often act as powerful, dynamic levels of support and resistance. A pullback to the 4-Hour 50 EMA on your 15-minute chart can be a prime area to look for entries in the direction of the larger trend.
Gauging Market Regimes: Use the toggles in the settings to quickly switch between different views. You can have a "risk-on" view with short-term clouds and a "macro" view with weekly and monthly clouds. This helps you adapt your trading style to the current market conditions.
Key Settings:
1. Global Setting
Source For All MAs: This determines the price data point used for every single moving average calculation.
Default: hl2 (an average of the High and Low of each bar). This gives a smooth midpoint price.
Options: You can change this to Close (the most common method), Open, High, Low, or ohlc4 (an average of the open, high, low, and close), among others.
Recommendation: For most standard trend analysis, the default hl2 is the common choice.
2. The Timeframe Group Structure
The rest of the settings are organized into four identical, collapsible groups: "Timeframe 1 Settings" through "Timeframe 4 Settings". Each group acts as a self-contained control panel for one multi-timeframe view.
Within each timeframe group, you have two master controls:
Enable Timeframe: This is the main power switch for the entire group. Uncheck this box to instantly hide all three clouds and lines associated with this timeframe. This is perfect for quickly decluttering your chart or focusing on a different set of analyses.
Timeframe: This dropdown menu is the heart of the MTF feature. Here, you select the higher timeframe you want to analyse (e.g., 1D for Daily, 1W for Weekly, 4H for 4-Hour). All calculations for the three pairs within this group will be based on the timeframe you select here.
3. Pair-Specific Controls
Inside each timeframe group, there are three sections for "Pair 1", "Pair 2", and "Pair 3". These control each individual moving average cloud.
Enable Pair: Just like the master switch for the timeframe, this checkbox turns a single cloud and its two MA lines on or off.
For each pair, the settings are further broken down:
Moving Average Lines (A and B): These two rows control the two moving averages that form the cloud. 'A' is typically used for the shorter-period MA and 'B' for the longer-period one.
Type (A/B): A dropdown menu to select either EMA (Exponential Moving Average) or SMA (Simple Moving Average). EMAs react more quickly to recent price changes, while SMAs are smoother and react more slowly.
Length (A/B): The lookback period for the moving average (e.g., 21, 50, 200).
Color (A/B): Sets the specific colour of the MA line itself on your chart.
Cloud Fill Settings
Fill Color: This controls the colour of the shaded area (the "cloud") between the two moving average lines. For a consistent look, you can set this to the same colour as your shorter MA line.
Transparency: Controls how see-through the cloud is, on a scale of 0 to 100. 0 is a solid, opaque colour, while 100 is completely invisible. The default of 85 provides a light, "cloud-like" appearance that doesn't obscure the price action.

Support and Resistance Logistic Regression | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Logistic Regression Support / Resistance indicator! This tool leverages advanced statistical modeling "Logistic Regressions" to identify and project key price levels where the market is likely to find support or resistance. For more information about the process, please check the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Logistic Regression Support / Resistance Features :
Intelligent S/R Identification : The indicator uses a logistic regression model to intelligently identify and plot significant support and resistance levels.
Predictive Probability : Each identified level comes with a calculated probability, indicating how likely it is to act as a true support or resistance based on historical data.
Retest & Break Labels : The indicator clearly marks on your chart when a detected support or resistance level is retested (price touches and respects the level) or broken (price decisively crosses through the level).
Alerts : Real-time alerts for support retests, resistance retests, support breaks, and resistance breaks.
Customizable : You can change support & resistance line style, width and colors.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
What makes this indicator truly unique is its application of logistic regression to the concept of support and resistance. Instead of merely identifying historical highs and lows, our indicator uses a statistical model to predict the future efficacy of these levels. It analyzes underlying market conditions (like RSI and body size at pivot formation) to assign a probability to each potential S/R zone. This predictive insight, combined with dynamic, real-time labeling of retests and breaks, provides a more robust and adaptive understanding of market structure than traditional, purely historical methods.
📌HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The Logistic Regression Support / Resistance indicator operates in several key steps:
First, it identifies significant pivot highs and lows on the chart based on a user-defined "Pivot Length." These pivots are potential areas of support or resistance.
For each detected pivot, the indicator extracts relevant market data at that specific point, including the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and the Body Size (the absolute difference between the open and close price of the candle). These serve as input features for the model.
The core of the indicator lies in its logistic regression model. This model is continuously trained on past pivot data and their subsequent behavior (i.e., whether they were "respected" as support/resistance multiple times). It learns the relationship between the extracted features (RSI, Body Size) and the likelihood of a pivot becoming a significant S/R level.
When a new pivot is identified, the model uses its learned insights to calculate a prediction value—a probability (from 0 to 1) that this specific pivot will act as a strong support or resistance.
If the calculated probability exceeds a user-defined "Probability Threshold," the pivot is designated a "Regression Pivot" and drawn on the chart as a support or resistance line. The indicator then actively tracks how price interacts with these levels, displaying "R" labels for retests when the price bounces off the level and "B" labels for breaks when the price closes beyond it.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Pivot Length: This setting defines the number of bars used to determine a significant high or low for pivot detection.
Target Respects: This input specifies how many times a level must be "respected" by price action for it to be considered a strong support or resistance level by the underlying model.
Probability Threshold: This is the minimum probability output from the logistic regression model for a detected pivot to be considered a valid support or resistance level and be plotted on the chart.
2. Style
Show Prediction Labels: Enable or disable labels that display the calculated probability of a newly identified regression S/R level.
Show Retests: Toggle the visibility of "R" labels on the chart, which mark instances where price has retested a support or resistance level.
Show Breaks: Toggle the visibility of "B" labels on the chart, which mark instances where price has broken through a support or resistance level.

⚙️ Lightweight for smooth chart performance
🧩 Endless combo potential — confluence on your terms
📈 What Is an EMA?
The EMA is a type of moving average that adjusts more quickly to recent price changes than a Simple Moving Average (SMA). It does this by giving exponentially more weight to the most recent candles.
⚙️ How Does It Function?
Smoothing Price Data:
It takes the average of closing prices over a chosen period (like 20 or 50 candles), but gives more influence to the latest prices.
Reacts Quickly to Price Shifts:
Since recent data is weighted more heavily, the EMA adjusts faster to sudden price changes — helping you spot trend reversals or momentum shifts earlier.
Dynamic Support & Resistance:
Traders often use EMAs as moving support/resistance levels. Price often "respects" EMAs in trending markets — bouncing off them during pullbacks.
Trend Confirmation:
- If price is above the EMA, the market is likely in an uptrend.
- If price is below the EMA, the market is likely in a downtrend.
- Multiple EMAs (like 12/21 or 50/200) crossing each other are used for entry/exit signals.
💡 Example:
If you use a 21 EMA on a chart, it shows you the average price of the last 21 candles, but the most recent ones weigh heavier. This makes the EMA more responsive than an SMA, and better for short-term or active trading.
📊 Why EMAs Matter — and How Multi-Timeframe EMAs Give You the Edge
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are essential tools for identifying trend direction, momentum shifts, and dynamic support/resistance. Because they weight recent price data more heavily, EMAs adapt quickly to changing market conditions, giving traders early insight into reversals or continuations.
Where this script shines is in its multi-timeframe (MTF) capability. For example, plotting a daily EMA on a 4H chart gives you high-level directional guidance while still allowing precision entries. This enables confluence between LTF (low timeframe) signals and HTF (high timeframe) momentum — a crucial edge used by institutional-level traders.
You can configure the tool to run classic combos like the 12/21 crossover on your current chart, while layering in a 50 or 200 EMA from a higher timeframe for macro confirmation. The 6th EMA, colored light blue by default, is perfect for adding one final level of structure insight — often used as a long-term anchor or trend bias marker.
Whether you're riding the wave or catching the reversal, these EMAs serve as your adaptable compass in every environment.
🎯 Purpose
This indicator was built to give traders a clear, responsive, and multi-timeframe edge using dynamic Exponential Moving Averages. Whether you're trend-following, identifying momentum shifts, or building a confluence system — these 6 EMAs are here to align with your strategy and style.
💡 Pro Tip
Instead of cluttering your chart with multiple EMA indicators, this script consolidates all into one sleek tool. You can toggle off bands you don't currently need, like running only the 12/21 EMAs on your active chart timeframe, while adding the 12/21 EMAs from a higher timeframe to guide trade decisions.
With this setup, you're not just reacting — you're orchestrating your trades with intention.

Key Levels Theory with Boxes v3Key Levels Theory with Boxes
This script helps traders visualize important price levels and mark them with lines and boxes on a chart. The lines represent key whole number levels, and the boxes give you a visual reference to see how price interacts with these levels. This tool can be used to track support/resistance areas and anticipate price movement based on round numbers.
Key Functions:
Lines:
The script draws horizontal lines at key price levels (e.g., 2850, 2855, 2860, etc.) starting from a defined "start level."
The lines are dashed by default and their appearance can be customized (color, style, width).
Boxes:
For each level, a box is drawn above and below the line.
The size of the box is fixed (1.5 units above and below the level) and it can be customized to any other interval.
The box is filled with a green color by default, with 5% opacity, so it doesn’t overpower the chart but still provides a visual reference.
Customizable Inputs:
Start Level: The starting price level from which all other levels will be calculated (e.g., 2850).
Number of Levels: How many levels of lines and boxes you want to display (e.g., 6 levels).
Box Interval: The distance above and below each level to define the size of the boxes (default is 1.5).
Line Style: The appearance of the lines (solid, dotted, or dashed).
Line Color: The color of the lines (default is white).
Line Width: The width of the lines (default is set to 0 for a cleaner look).
Box Color: The color of the boxes (default is green with 5% opacity).
What Does It Do?
Visualizes price levels: The script plots key price levels and helps traders easily identify where price is currently at, relative to whole number levels.
Marks support/resistance: These levels often act as psychological price points, making them useful for spotting potential support or resistance.
Helps with trade decisions: By seeing how the price behaves around these key levels, traders can make more informed decisions about entering or exiting positions.
Anchored VWAPAnchored VWAP with 3 Standard Deviation Bands
📈 Version: Pine Script v5
📌 Author: Aymen Haddaji
🔍 Overview
This indicator calculates an Anchored Volume-Weighted Average Price (AVWAP), allowing traders to anchor the VWAP calculation from a user-defined date and time. It also plots three standard deviation bands above and below the AVWAP to help identify potential areas of overbought and oversold conditions.
📊 Features & Functionality
✔ Custom Anchor Point: Select a specific date and time to start the AVWAP calculation.
✔ OHLC/4 Calculation: Uses the average of Open, High, Low, and Close to smooth the price input.
✔ Three Standard Deviation Bands:
1st Deviation (Green): Moderate volatility zone.
2nd Deviation (Orange): High volatility zone.
3rd Deviation (Red): Extreme overbought/oversold areas.
✔ Real-Time Calculation: Updates dynamically with each price movement.
✔ Clear Visuals:
AVWAP (Blue Line) represents the fair market price from the anchor.
Deviation Bands (Dashed Lines) show potential support and resistance levels.
🛠 How It Works
VWAP Calculation
Uses a cumulative sum of price × volume divided by cumulative volume.
Calculation starts from the user-defined anchor time.
Standard Deviation Bands
Measures the price dispersion around the AVWAP.
The wider the bands, the higher the volatility.
When price touches or exceeds the 3rd deviation, a potential reversal zone is indicated.
Trading Strategies with AVWAP & Deviation Bands
Trend Confirmation:
Price above AVWAP = Uptrend (bullish).
Price below AVWAP = Downtrend (bearish).
Support & Resistance:
AVWAP acts as dynamic support or resistance.
1st & 2nd deviations often act as secondary levels.
Mean Reversion Trading:
When price reaches the 3rd standard deviation, a pullback is likely.
Breakout Confirmation:
A strong close above/below the 3rd deviation may indicate trend continuation.
⚙️ Input Settings
📍 Anchor Time: Allows you to set the exact date and time to start the AVWAP calculation.
🎯 Ideal For
✅ Intraday traders looking for short-term mean reversion plays.
✅ Swing traders identifying key support/resistance zones.
✅ Trend traders confirming long-term market direction.
✅ Volatility traders using standard deviation for trade entries.

Option Pair ZigzagOptions Pair Zigzag:
Though we can split the chart window and view multiple charts, this indicator is useful when we view options charts.
How this indicator works:
The indicator works in non-overlay mode.
The indicator will find other option pair symbol and load it’s chart in indicator window. It will also draw a zigzag on both the charts. It will also fetch the SPOT symbol and display SPOT Close price of latest candle.
Useful information:
A. Support resistance: Higher High (HH) and Lower Low (LL) markings can be treated as strong support and or resistance and LH, HL markings can be treated as weak support and or resistance.
B. Trend identification: Easy identification of trend based on trend lines and trend markings i.e. Higher High (HH), Lower Low (LL), Lower High (LH), Higher Low (HL)
C. Use of Rate of change (ROC )– Labels drawn on swing points are equipped with ROC% between swing points. ROC% between Call and Put option charts can be compared and used to identify strong and weak moves.
Example:
1. User loads a call option chart of ‘NIFTY240620C23500’ (NIFTY 50 INDEX OPTIONS 20 JUN 2024 CALL 23500)
2. Since user has selected CALL Option, Indicator rules/logic will find PUT Option symbol of same strike and expiry
3. PUT Option chart would then shown in the indicator window

Market Structure (Breakers) [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure (Breakers) indicator aims to detect "Breaker Market Structures", an original concept inspired by breaker blocks, and extend on the original concept of market structures by extending existing MS levels, providing supports/resistances as a result.
Various graphical elements are included that highlight the interactions between price and Breaker structures.
🔶 USAGE
Breaker structures occur when a market structure is confirmed (price breaking a previous swing level). The broken swing point is extended by a dotted line which can be used as potential support or resistance.
After a market structure, the price can eventually reverse and break one or multiple breaker structures at the same time, allowing for the detection of new trends in the price.
A market structure closer to the top/bottom of a trend can return Breaker structures breakouts more indicative of potential reversals.
Breakers MS breakouts can also be useful as exits for entries done using market market structures.
The script additionally highlights support/resistance events by highlighting candle borders, with a border using a green color indicating support events while a red color is indicative of a resistance event.
🔹 Breaker Structure Lifespan
The "lifespan" of Breaker structures, that is the amount of time the script will extend/evaluate them is determined by various user settings.
The Maximum Breaks setting determines the maximum amount of breaks a breaker structure can withstand before it is broken.
For example, a maximum amount of breaks of 3 for a bearish breaker structure would require the price to cross under that precise breaker structure level three times. Using higher values of this setting will also highlight more Breakers MS.
The Breaker Maximum Duration setting on the other hand determines how many bars a breaker structure can be evaluated without being broken. If a breaker structure is not broken after this amount of bars then it will stop being evaluated and will be removed.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swings Period: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer term markter structures.
Maximum Breaks: Amount of break required for a breaker block to be considered broken.
Breaker Maximum Duration: Maximum duration of a breaker block (in bars).
Support & Resistance Dynamic [LuxAlgo]The Support & Resistance Dynamic indicator aims to return real-time predictive support and resistance zones that are relevant to a detected trend. This makes this indicator similar to our previously published Predictive Ranges indicator.
Users can additionally extend the most recent historical support and resistance zones.
🔶 USAGE
Hypothetical resistance levels in an up-trend or supports in a down-trend would tend to be broken more easily, as such the indicator primary objective is to return reliable real-time support and resistance levels by taking this into account.
When the market is up-trending the indicator will only return support zones, while a down-trending market will cause the indicator to only return resistance zones.
If the price significantly breaks a support/resistance, rendering it unreliable, it can be a sign of a potential reversal.
Users can return support/resistance levels/zones for shorter-term trends by reducing the Multiplicative Factor setting.
🔹 Extension
Users can extend past estimated support/resistance levels, the amount of extended levels is determined by the users. Certain levels can stay relevant in the future, and can also aid in measuring the significance of a breakout, with further past levels being reached being indicative of more significant trends.
🔶 DETAILS
To determine if the price is up-trending or down-trending in order to show either support or resistance, the same method used in the predictive ranges script is used. A central tendency is estimated, if price significantly deviates from it upward an uptrend is detected, else a significant deviation downward would indicate a downtrend.
The central tendency estimate is used for the construction of the support and resistance levels.
🔶 SETTINGS
Multiplicative Factor: Determines the frequency at which new supports/resistances are returned, with lower values returning more frequent levels/zones.
ATR Length: ATR averaging length used as deviation threshold for the central tendency estimate.
Extend Last: Determines the amount of most recent historical supports/resistances to extend to the latest bar.
Best Support And Resistance Indicator V1 [ForexBee]This Indicator Identifies and draws the support and resistance Zones On the Chart
🔶Overview
The support and resistance indicator is a technical indicator that will plot the support zone and resistance zone on the candlestick chart. It determines the price touches to find the strong support resistance zones.
The support and resistance indicator is the most basic technical analysis in trading. Instead of drawing zones manually, this indicator can save you time by plotting zones automatically.
🔶Working
There are specific characteristics of a valid support and resistance zone. Price always bounces upward from the support zone while it bounces downward from the resistance zone. On the other hand, when a breakout of the support or resistance zone happens, the price trends toward the breakout.
🔶Valid support zone
When the price touches a zone two to three times and bounces in a bullish direction, it is a good support zone.
The main point is that you should always find the bounces in clear price swings. The touches or bounces of the price must not be in the form of a choppy market. Price always moves in the form of swings or waves.
🔶Valid resistance zone
When the price touches a zone two to three times with a bounce in a bearish direction, then a valid resistance zone forms.
Here the price bounces must be in the form of swings or waves. You must avoid a choppy market.
So the support and resistance zone indicator finds these parameters on the chart and draws only valid zones.
🔶Settings of indicator
There are two inputs available in the indicator.
Number of bars for swing
The number of bars for the swing bars represents the size of the swing for a valid support or resistance touch. This parameter helps to filter the ranging price. the default value is 10.
Number of Tests for valid support and resistance
In this indicator, the number of pivots represents the support or resistance touches. so if you select the number 3, the indicator will only draw a zone with three touches.
🔶Features
There are the following features that this indicator identifies automatically, so you don’t need to do manual work.
Identify the valid support and resistance zones
Add the confluence of swings or waves during zone identification
Choppy market filter
We are also adding the feature of a candlestick pattern at the zone, which will be added in the next update.
VWAP + EMA Analysis [Joshlo]Overview and Use Case
VWAP Analysis gives the possibility to combine multiple time frames of VWAP along with a triplet of exponential moving averages. This can provide insight into potential scalp, swing and longer term trades, depending on your time frame. The use of this indicator with it's setup is based off the the Scalp Setup Alerts provided by Roensch Capital.
The primary use for this script is to help with intraday scalp set ups. Using the Daily VWAP, turned on by default, we can look for price to respect and bounce from one of the VWAP lines (support or resistance) back toward equilibrium, we can also look for price to bounce off of equilibrium and move back toward VWAP support or resistance.
The chart attached shows AMD bouncing off of the Daily time frame VWAP Resistance level multiple times (see yellow boxes), often with confirmation given by an increase in volume which is often far higher than the average volume. In many of these cases a short position could've been opened or put option could have been placed with a profitable outcome.
Every line projected onto the chart via this indicator has the potential to create support or resistance as well as causing 'hang ups', meaning price loses it's momentum, slows down and hangs out in the particular area. This is shown on the chart within the green box.
Chart walkthrough - See attached chart
After a rejection off of the Daily VWAP Resistance line (depicted by the white circle), price starts to move back toward Daily VWAP Equilibrium. In order to reach this line, price needs to move through the 20EMA (white) and 50EMA (purple), the Weekly VWAP Resistance (red circles) and the 200EMA (orange). All of these lines are a part of this single indicator.
The 20EMA seems to offer little resistance but follows the price on it's move, offering some resistance to a volatile move upward. Initially upon contact with the 50EMA, price hangs up and bounces above and below the line whilst finding support on the Weekly VWAP Resistance at the same time. This causes a 'hang up' or sideways movement for around 20 minutes of trading. A potential trade may have entered at the white circle with a VWAP Resistance rejection and exited upon contact with the 50EMA in anticipation of multiple EMAs and support / resistance lines converging which is known to cause price movement to slow.
Eventually with an increase in volume, price breaks below the 20EMA (white), 50EMA (purple) and the Weekly VWAP Resistance level (red circles). Price then finds support on the 200EMA (orange), although there was potential for the price to fall to the Daily VWAP Equilibrium (solid blue). As the Red VWAP lines tend to act more often as resistance as opposed to support (price is rarely above these lines for extended periods), the trade from earlier may have profited more by awaiting contact with the 200EMA before exiting, taking the assumption that the Weekly VWAP Resistance was more likely to act as resistance than support.
A period of consolidation in the green box, around the Weekly VWAP Resistance, 20EMA, 50EMA and with support from the 200EMA eventually resulted in another break out where the price came back up to the Daily VWAP Resistance. Prior to the end of this trading day, there were two more opportunities for scalp setups based off of the price showing consistent rejections off the Daily VWAP Resistance back down to the 50EMA.
In the final example, price breaks above the Daily VWAP Resistance but quickly rejects off of the Monthly VWAP Resistance. For examples where the VWAP Resistance or Support or broken, it can help to look at an indicator such as the RSI to look for bullish divergence or bearish divergence.
Just as this example shows bounces and rejection off of VWAP Resistance, the same applies around the Equilibrium and Support VWAP lines.
The perfect scenario would be to find a ticker where there has already been two or three bounces off of one of these levels, with the goal of taking the trade on the next bounce and either using a percentage price target or technical price target based off of the EMAs or VWAP lines. If there are EMAs close in the direction you want to take the trade, there is a higher chance of hang ups and reversals, so a clear run is the more desired trade set up.
You can also look for these indicator lines to stack up in order to form a stronger support and resistance. For example the 200EMA and Daily VWAP Equilibrium being close to each other may suggest it would take more of an effort to break both of these levels, but one by itself may break more easily.
Indicator Setup
In the settings for the indicator, almost everything you might want to change can be done from the Input tab.
The three options for VWAP (daily, weekly and monthly) allow for analysis on multiple time frames. Daily is turned on as standard.
Standard Deviation Multiplier is set to 2 as standard, this effects the distance of the VWAP support and resistance from the equilibrium line. This seems to be a level that works well with finding support and resistance lines, however if there is excessively high or low volume, occasionally the lines can be thrown off. You can adjust this level if required to find a 'sweet spot' where price likes to reject or find support.
The colors for all VWAPs can be adjusted via the Inputs tab, however if you'd like to change the type of line these are depicted as, this can be done from the Styles tab.
The 3 EMAs (20, 50 and 200) can be toggled on or off and also have their color changed. The style of the lines can be adjusted from with the Styles tab if required.
Nico's SPX Dynamic ChannelsTest of dynamic channels and some statistics made by hand.
This indicator was done specifically for the S&P500 index.
As you can see, below the 125 EMA there's a lot more volatility than in the upside. I've made some kind of a dynamic linear regression of the lows and the highs.
I've chosen the MA that best fits the SPX, and then calculated in Excel the percental mean and SDs of most important peaks and valleys that I've chosen in comparison to the 125 MA. This lead to the green, orange and red zones. BUT, I've calculated the peaks and valleys separately, as I assumed that a bear market and crashes have way more volatility than bull markets. That's why the difference between the upper and the lower channels.
The neutral blue zone is composed by an upper EMA of the highs and lower EMA of the lows. No MA in this script uses the close price as a source.
This MA makes sense because it represents a semester of trading, for this particular asset.
Backtest results
It's also interesting to try it here too, as it has a little bit more of data:
SPCFD:SPX
As it's not a trading system, I have no batting average nor ratios for this.
Still, the measures of the peaks and valleys are very accurate and repeat themselves over and over again. The results were:
3rd resistance: 12.88%
2nd resistance: 10.12%
1st resistance: 7.36%
1st support: -6.42%
2nd support: -14.8%
3rd support: -23.18%
All referred to the mean, which is the 125 EMA zone.
After the 1950's works like magic, but not before. You will see that it doesn't work in the great depression and it's crash.
How to use this indicator
Green = First grade support/resistance .
Orange = Second grade support/resistance . Caution.
Red = Third grade support/resistance . High chances of mean reversal.
Blue zone = This is the neutral zone, where the prices are not cheap nor expensive.
Often in a trending market, the price will have the blue zone as it's main support and when trending the price will stick to the green MA.
When the price touches the orange MA, the most probable is that it will return to the green MA.
If the price touches the red zone, there's a high chance that this is a big turning point and it will reverse to the mean (green or blue zone).
Imagine you've bought each time the price touched the red support, check that and you'll start liking this indicator. I think it is a great entry point for investors. The red resistance is good too, but of course it works for a short period of time.
I've backtested this indicator since the beginning of the dataset and it works like magic, but ONLY for the SPX index (spot price).

Keltner Channel Enhanced [DCAUT]█ Keltner Channel Enhanced
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The Keltner Channel Enhanced represents an important advancement over standard Keltner Channel implementations by introducing dual flexibility in moving average selection for both the middle band and ATR calculation. While traditional Keltner Channels typically use EMA for the middle band and RMA (Wilder's smoothing) for ATR, this enhanced version provides access to 25+ moving average algorithms for both components, enabling traders to fine-tune the indicator's behavior to match specific market characteristics and trading approaches.
Key Advancements:
Dual MA Algorithm Flexibility: Independent selection of moving average types for middle band (25+ options) and ATR smoothing (25+ options), allowing optimization of both trend identification and volatility measurement separately
Enhanced Trend Sensitivity: Ability to use faster algorithms (HMA, T3) for middle band while maintaining stable volatility measurement with traditional ATR smoothing, or vice versa for different trading strategies
Adaptive Volatility Measurement: Choice of ATR smoothing algorithm affects channel responsiveness to volatility changes, from highly reactive (SMA, EMA) to smoothly adaptive (RMA, TEMA)
Comprehensive Alert System: Five distinct alert conditions covering breakouts, trend changes, and volatility expansion, enabling automated monitoring without constant chart observation
Multi-Timeframe Compatibility: Works effectively across all timeframes from intraday scalping to long-term position trading, with independent optimization of trend and volatility components
This implementation addresses key limitations of standard Keltner Channels: fixed EMA/RMA combination may not suit all market conditions or trading styles. By decoupling the trend component from volatility measurement and allowing independent algorithm selection, traders can create highly customized configurations for specific instruments and market phases.
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Keltner Channel Enhanced uses a three-component calculation system that combines a flexible moving average middle band with ATR-based (Average True Range) upper and lower channels, creating volatility-adjusted trend-following bands.
Core Calculation Process:
1. Middle Band (Basis) Calculation:
The basis line is calculated using the selected moving average algorithm applied to the price source over the specified period:
basis = ma(source, length, maType)
Supported algorithms include EMA (standard choice, trend-biased), SMA (balanced and symmetric), HMA (reduced lag), WMA, VWMA, TEMA, T3, KAMA, and 17+ others.
2. Average True Range (ATR) Calculation:
ATR measures market volatility by calculating the average of true ranges over the specified period:
trueRange = max(high - low, abs(high - close ), abs(low - close ))
atrValue = ma(trueRange, atrLength, atrMaType)
ATR smoothing algorithm significantly affects channel behavior, with options including RMA (standard, very smooth), SMA (moderate smoothness), EMA (fast adaptation), TEMA (smooth yet responsive), and others.
3. Channel Calculation:
Upper and lower channels are positioned at specified multiples of ATR from the basis:
upperChannel = basis + (multiplier × atrValue)
lowerChannel = basis - (multiplier × atrValue)
Standard multiplier is 2.0, providing channels that dynamically adjust width based on market volatility.
Keltner Channel vs. Bollinger Bands - Key Differences:
While both indicators create volatility-based channels, they use fundamentally different volatility measures:
Keltner Channel (ATR-based):
Uses Average True Range to measure actual price movement volatility
Incorporates gaps and limit moves through true range calculation
More stable in trending markets, less prone to extreme compression
Better reflects intraday volatility and trading range
Typically fewer band touches, making touches more significant
More suitable for trend-following strategies
Bollinger Bands (Standard Deviation-based):
Uses statistical standard deviation to measure price dispersion
Based on closing prices only, doesn't account for intraday range
Can compress significantly during consolidation (squeeze patterns)
More touches in ranging markets
Better suited for mean-reversion strategies
Provides statistical probability framework (95% within 2 standard deviations)
Algorithm Combination Effects:
The interaction between middle band MA type and ATR MA type creates different indicator characteristics:
Trend-Focused Configuration (Fast MA + Slow ATR): Middle band uses HMA/EMA/T3, ATR uses RMA/TEMA, quick trend changes with stable channel width, suitable for trend-following
Volatility-Focused Configuration (Slow MA + Fast ATR): Middle band uses SMA/WMA, ATR uses EMA/SMA, stable trend with dynamic channel width, suitable for volatility trading
Balanced Configuration (Standard EMA/RMA): Classic Keltner Channel behavior, time-tested combination, suitable for general-purpose trend following
Adaptive Configuration (KAMA + KAMA): Self-adjusting indicator responding to efficiency ratio, suitable for markets with varying trend strength and volatility regimes
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Keltner Channel Enhanced provides multiple signal categories optimized for trend-following and breakout strategies.
Channel Position Signals:
Upper Channel Interaction:
Price Touching Upper Channel: Strong bullish momentum, price moving more than typical volatility range suggests, potential continuation signal in established uptrends
Price Breaking Above Upper Channel: Exceptional strength, price exceeding normal volatility expectations, consider adding to long positions or tightening trailing stops
Price Riding Upper Channel: Sustained strong uptrend, characteristic of powerful bull moves, stay with trend and avoid premature profit-taking
Price Rejection at Upper Channel: Momentum exhaustion signal, consider profit-taking on longs or waiting for pullback to middle band for reentry
Lower Channel Interaction:
Price Touching Lower Channel: Strong bearish momentum, price moving more than typical volatility range suggests, potential continuation signal in established downtrends
Price Breaking Below Lower Channel: Exceptional weakness, price exceeding normal volatility expectations, consider adding to short positions or protecting against further downside
Price Riding Lower Channel: Sustained strong downtrend, characteristic of powerful bear moves, stay with trend and avoid premature covering
Price Rejection at Lower Channel: Momentum exhaustion signal, consider covering shorts or waiting for bounce to middle band for reentry
Middle Band (Basis) Signals:
Trend Direction Confirmation:
Price Above Basis: Bullish trend bias, middle band acts as dynamic support in uptrends, consider long positions or holding existing longs
Price Below Basis: Bearish trend bias, middle band acts as dynamic resistance in downtrends, consider short positions or avoiding longs
Price Crossing Above Basis: Potential trend change from bearish to bullish, early signal to establish long positions
Price Crossing Below Basis: Potential trend change from bullish to bearish, early signal to establish short positions or exit longs
Pullback Trading Strategy:
Uptrend Pullback: Price pulls back from upper channel to middle band, finds support, and resumes upward, ideal long entry point
Downtrend Bounce: Price bounces from lower channel to middle band, meets resistance, and resumes downward, ideal short entry point
Basis Test: Strong trends often show price respecting the middle band as support/resistance on pullbacks
Failed Test: Price breaking through middle band against trend direction signals potential reversal
Volatility-Based Signals:
Narrow Channels (Low Volatility):
Consolidation Phase: Channels contract during periods of reduced volatility and directionless price action
Breakout Preparation: Narrow channels often precede significant directional moves as volatility cycles
Trading Approach: Reduce position sizes, wait for breakout confirmation, avoid range-bound strategies within channels
Breakout Direction: Monitor for price breaking decisively outside channel range with expanding width
Wide Channels (High Volatility):
Trending Phase: Channels expand during strong directional moves and increased volatility
Momentum Confirmation: Wide channels confirm genuine trend with substantial volatility backing
Trading Approach: Trend-following strategies excel, wider stops necessary, mean-reversion strategies risky
Exhaustion Signs: Extreme channel width (historical highs) may signal approaching consolidation or reversal
Advanced Pattern Recognition:
Channel Walking Pattern:
Upper Channel Walk: Price consistently touches or exceeds upper channel while staying above basis, very strong uptrend signal, hold longs aggressively
Lower Channel Walk: Price consistently touches or exceeds lower channel while staying below basis, very strong downtrend signal, hold shorts aggressively
Basis Support/Resistance: During channel walks, price typically uses middle band as support/resistance on minor pullbacks
Pattern Break: Price crossing basis during channel walk signals potential trend exhaustion
Squeeze and Release Pattern:
Squeeze Phase: Channels narrow significantly, price consolidates near middle band, volatility contracts
Direction Clues: Watch for price positioning relative to basis during squeeze (above = bullish bias, below = bearish bias)
Release Trigger: Price breaking outside narrow channel range with expanding width confirms breakout
Follow-Through: Measure squeeze height and project from breakout point for initial profit targets
Channel Expansion Pattern:
Breakout Confirmation: Rapid channel widening confirms volatility increase and genuine trend establishment
Entry Timing: Enter positions early in expansion phase before trend becomes overextended
Risk Management: Use channel width to size stops appropriately, wider channels require wider stops
Basis Bounce Pattern:
Clean Bounce: Price touches middle band and immediately reverses, confirms trend strength and entry opportunity
Multiple Bounces: Repeated basis bounces indicate strong, sustainable trend
Bounce Failure: Price penetrating basis signals weakening trend and potential reversal
Divergence Analysis:
Price/Channel Divergence: Price makes new high/low while staying within channel (not reaching outer band), suggests momentum weakening
Width/Price Divergence: Price breaks to new extremes but channel width contracts, suggests move lacks conviction
Reversal Signal: Divergences often precede trend reversals or significant consolidation periods
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Keltner Channels work particularly well in multi-timeframe trend-following approaches:
Three-Timeframe Alignment:
Higher Timeframe (Weekly/Daily): Identify major trend direction, note price position relative to basis and channels
Intermediate Timeframe (Daily/4H): Identify pullback opportunities within higher timeframe trend
Lower Timeframe (4H/1H): Time precise entries when price touches middle band or lower channel (in uptrends) with rejection
Optimal Entry Conditions:
Best Long Entries: Higher timeframe in uptrend (price above basis), intermediate timeframe pulls back to basis, lower timeframe shows rejection at middle band or lower channel
Best Short Entries: Higher timeframe in downtrend (price below basis), intermediate timeframe bounces to basis, lower timeframe shows rejection at middle band or upper channel
Risk Management: Use higher timeframe channel width to set position sizing, stops below/above higher timeframe channels
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Keltner Channel Enhanced excels in trend-following and breakout strategies across different market conditions.
Trend Following Strategy:
Setup Requirements:
Identify established trend with price consistently on one side of basis line
Wait for pullback to middle band (basis) or brief penetration through it
Confirm trend resumption with price rejection at basis and move back toward outer channel
Enter in trend direction with stop beyond basis line
Entry Rules:
Uptrend Entry:
Price pulls back from upper channel to middle band, shows support at basis (bullish candlestick, momentum divergence)
Enter long on rejection/bounce from basis with stop 1-2 ATR below basis
Aggressive: Enter on first touch; Conservative: Wait for confirmation candle
Downtrend Entry:
Price bounces from lower channel to middle band, shows resistance at basis (bearish candlestick, momentum divergence)
Enter short on rejection/reversal from basis with stop 1-2 ATR above basis
Aggressive: Enter on first touch; Conservative: Wait for confirmation candle
Trend Management:
Trailing Stop: Use basis line as dynamic trailing stop, exit if price closes beyond basis against position
Profit Taking: Take partial profits at opposite channel, move stops to basis
Position Additions: Add to winners on subsequent basis bounces if trend intact
Breakout Strategy:
Setup Requirements:
Identify consolidation period with contracting channel width
Monitor price action near middle band with reduced volatility
Wait for decisive breakout beyond channel range with expanding width
Enter in breakout direction after confirmation
Breakout Confirmation:
Price breaks clearly outside channel (upper for longs, lower for shorts), channel width begins expanding from contracted state
Volume increases significantly on breakout (if using volume analysis)
Price sustains outside channel for multiple bars without immediate reversal
Entry Approaches:
Aggressive: Enter on initial break with stop at opposite channel or basis, use smaller position size
Conservative: Wait for pullback to broken channel level, enter on rejection and resumption, tighter stop
Volatility-Based Position Sizing:
Adjust position sizing based on channel width (ATR-based volatility):
Wide Channels (High ATR): Reduce position size as stops must be wider, calculate position size using ATR-based risk calculation: Risk / (Stop Distance in ATR × ATR Value)
Narrow Channels (Low ATR): Increase position size as stops can be tighter, be cautious of impending volatility expansion
ATR-Based Risk Management: Use ATR-based risk calculations, position size = 0.01 × Capital / (2 × ATR), use multiples of ATR (1-2 ATR) for adaptive stops
Algorithm Selection Guidelines:
Different market conditions benefit from different algorithm combinations:
Strong Trending Markets: Middle band use EMA or HMA, ATR use RMA, capture trends quickly while maintaining stable channel width
Choppy/Ranging Markets: Middle band use SMA or WMA, ATR use SMA or WMA, avoid false trend signals while identifying genuine reversals
Volatile Markets: Middle band and ATR both use KAMA or FRAMA, self-adjusting to changing market conditions reduces manual optimization
Breakout Trading: Middle band use SMA, ATR use EMA or SMA, stable trend with dynamic channels highlights volatility expansion early
Scalping/Day Trading: Middle band use HMA or T3, ATR use EMA or TEMA, both components respond quickly
Position Trading: Middle band use EMA/TEMA/T3, ATR use RMA or TEMA, filter out noise for long-term trend-following
📋 DETAILED PARAMETER CONFIGURATION
Understanding and optimizing parameters is essential for adapting Keltner Channel Enhanced to specific trading approaches.
Source Parameter:
Close (Most Common): Uses closing price, reflects daily settlement, best for end-of-day analysis and position trading, standard choice
HL2 (Median Price): Smooths out closing bias, better represents full daily range in volatile markets, good for swing trading
HLC3 (Typical Price): Gives more weight to close while including full range, popular for intraday applications, slightly more responsive than HL2
OHLC4 (Average Price): Most comprehensive price representation, smoothest option, good for gap-prone markets or highly volatile instruments
Length Parameter:
Controls the lookback period for middle band (basis) calculation:
Short Periods (10-15): Very responsive to price changes, suitable for day trading and scalping, higher false signal rate
Standard Period (20 - Default): Represents approximately one month of trading, good balance between responsiveness and stability, suitable for swing and position trading
Medium Periods (30-50): Smoother trend identification, fewer false signals, better for position trading and longer holding periods
Long Periods (50+): Very smooth, identifies major trends only, minimal false signals but significant lag, suitable for long-term investment
Optimization by Timeframe: 1-15 minute charts use 10-20 period, 30-60 minute charts use 20-30 period, 4-hour to daily charts use 20-40 period, weekly charts use 20-30 weeks.
ATR Length Parameter:
Controls the lookback period for Average True Range calculation, affecting channel width:
Short ATR Periods (5-10): Very responsive to recent volatility changes, standard is 10 (Keltner's original specification), may be too reactive in whipsaw conditions
Standard ATR Period (10 - Default): Chester Keltner's original specification, good balance between responsiveness and stability, most widely used
Medium ATR Periods (14-20): Smoother channel width, ATR 14 aligns with Wilder's original ATR specification, good for position trading
Long ATR Periods (20+): Very smooth channel width, suitable for long-term trend-following
Length vs. ATR Length Relationship: Equal values (20/20) provide balanced responsiveness, longer ATR (20/14) gives more stable channel width, shorter ATR (20/10) is standard configuration, much shorter ATR (20/5) creates very dynamic channels.
Multiplier Parameter:
Controls channel width by setting ATR multiples:
Lower Values (1.0-1.5): Tighter channels with frequent price touches, more trading signals, higher false signal rate, better for range-bound and mean-reversion strategies
Standard Value (2.0 - Default): Chester Keltner's recommended setting, good balance between signal frequency and reliability, suitable for both trending and ranging strategies
Higher Values (2.5-3.0): Wider channels with less frequent touches, fewer but potentially higher-quality signals, better for strong trending markets
Market-Specific Optimization: High volatility markets (crypto, small-caps) use 2.5-3.0 multiplier, medium volatility markets (major forex, large-caps) use 2.0 multiplier, low volatility markets (bonds, utilities) use 1.5-2.0 multiplier.
MA Type Parameter (Middle Band):
Critical selection that determines trend identification characteristics:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average - Default): Standard Keltner Channel choice, Chester Keltner's original specification, emphasizes recent prices, faster response to trend changes, suitable for all timeframes
SMA (Simple Moving Average): Equal weighting of all data points, no directional bias, slower than EMA, better for ranging markets and mean-reversion
HMA (Hull Moving Average): Minimal lag with smooth output, excellent for fast trend identification, best for day trading and scalping
TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average): Advanced smoothing with reduced lag, responsive to trends while filtering noise, suitable for volatile markets
T3 (Tillson T3): Very smooth with minimal lag, excellent for established trend identification, suitable for position trading
KAMA (Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average): Automatically adjusts speed based on market efficiency, slow in ranging markets, fast in trends, suitable for markets with varying conditions
ATR MA Type Parameter:
Determines how Average True Range is smoothed, affecting channel width stability:
RMA (Wilder's Smoothing - Default): J. Welles Wilder's original ATR smoothing method, very smooth, slow to adapt to volatility changes, provides stable channel width
SMA (Simple Moving Average): Equal weighting, moderate smoothness, faster response to volatility changes than RMA, more dynamic channel width
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Emphasizes recent volatility, quick adaptation to new volatility regimes, very responsive channel width changes
TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average): Smooth yet responsive, good balance for varying volatility, suitable for most trading styles
Parameter Combination Strategies:

Complementary Indicators:
RSI or Stochastic: Confirm momentum at channel extremes
MACD: Confirm trend direction and momentum shifts
Volume: Validate breakouts and trend strength
ADX: Measure trend strength, avoid Keltner signals in weak trends
Support/Resistance: Combine with traditional levels for high-probability setups
Bollinger Bands: Use together for enhanced breakout and volatility analysis
USAGE NOTES
This indicator is designed for technical analysis and educational purposes. Keltner Channel Enhanced has limitations and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. While the flexible moving average selection for both trend and volatility components provides valuable adaptability across different market conditions, algorithm performance varies with market conditions, and past characteristics do not guarantee future results.
Key considerations:
Always use multiple forms of analysis and confirmation before entering trades
Backtest any parameter combination thoroughly before live trading
Be aware that optimization can lead to curve-fitting if not done carefully
Start with standard EMA/RMA settings and adjust only when specific conditions warrant
Understand that no moving average algorithm can eliminate lag entirely
Consider market regime (trending, ranging, volatile) when selecting parameters
Use ATR-based position sizing and risk management on every trade
Keltner Channels work best in trending markets, less effective in choppy conditions
Respect the trend direction indicated by price position relative to basis line
The enhanced flexibility of dual algorithm selection provides powerful tools for adaptation but requires responsible use, thorough understanding of how different algorithms behave under various market conditions, and disciplined risk management.
Harmonic Super GuppyHarmonic Super Guppy – Harmonic & Golden Ratio Trend Analysis Framework
Overview
Harmonic Super Guppy is a comprehensive trend analysis and visualization tool that evolves the classic Guppy Multiple Moving Average (GMMA) methodology, pioneered by Daryl Guppy to visualize the interaction between short-term trader behavior and long-term investor trends. into a harmonic and phase-based market framework. By combining harmonic weighting, golden ratio phasing, and multiple moving averages, it provides traders with a deep understanding of market structure, momentum, and trend alignment. Fast and slow line groups visually differentiate short-term trader activity from longer-term investor positioning, while adaptive fills and dynamic coloring clearly illustrate trend coherence, expansion, and contraction in real time.
Traditional GMMA focuses primarily on moving average convergence and divergence. Harmonic Super Guppy extends this concept, integrating frequency-aware harmonic analysis and golden ratio modulation, allowing traders to detect subtle cyclical forces and early trend shifts before conventional moving averages would react. This is particularly valuable for traders seeking to identify early trend continuation setups, preemptive breakout entries, and potential trend exhaustion zones. The indicator provides a multi-dimensional view, making it suitable for scalping, intraday trading, swing setups, and even longer-term position strategies.
The visual structure of Harmonic Super Guppy is intentionally designed to convey trend clarity without oversimplification. Fast lines reflect short-term trader sentiment, slow lines capture longer-term investor alignment, and fills highlight compression or expansion. The adaptive color coding emphasizes trend alignment: strong green for bullish alignment, strong red for bearish, and subtle gray tones for indecision. This allows traders to quickly gauge market conditions while preserving the granularity necessary for sophisticated analysis.
How It Works
Harmonic Super Guppy uses a combination of harmonic averaging, golden ratio phasing, and adaptive weighting to generate its signals.
Harmonic Weighting : Each moving average integrates three layers of harmonics:
Primary harmonic captures the dominant cyclical structure of the market.
Secondary harmonic introduces a complementary frequency for oscillatory nuance.
Tertiary harmonic smooths higher-frequency noise while retaining meaningful trend signals.
Golden Ratio Phase : Phases of each harmonic contribution are adjusted using the golden ratio (default φ = 1.618), ensuring alignment with natural market rhythms. This reduces lag and allows traders to detect trend shifts earlier than conventional moving averages.
Adaptive Trend Detection : Fast SMAs are compared against slow SMAs to identify structural trends:
UpTrend : Fast SMA exceeds slow SMA.
DownTrend : Fast SMA falls below slow SMA.
Frequency Scaling : The wave frequency setting allows traders to modulate responsiveness versus smoothing. Higher frequency emphasizes short-term moves, while lower frequency highlights structural trends. This enables adaptation across asset classes with different volatility characteristics.
Through this combination, Harmonic Super Guppy captures micro and macro market cycles, helping traders distinguish between transient noise and genuine trend development. The multi-harmonic approach amplifies meaningful price action while reducing false signals inherent in standard moving averages.
Interpretation
Harmonic Super Guppy provides a multi-dimensional perspective on market dynamics:
Trend Analysis : Alignment of fast and slow lines reveals trend direction and strength. Expanding harmonics indicate momentum building, while contraction signals weakening conditions or potential reversals.
Momentum & Volatility : Rapid expansion of fast lines versus slow lines reflects short-term bullish or bearish pressure. Compression often precedes breakout scenarios or volatility expansion. Traders can quickly gauge trend vigor and potential turning points.
Market Context : The indicator overlays harmonic and structural insights without dictating entry or exit points. It complements order blocks, liquidity zones, oscillators, and other technical frameworks, providing context for informed decision-making.
Phase Divergence Detection : Subtle divergence between harmonic layers (primary, secondary, tertiary) often signals early exhaustion in trends or hidden strength, offering preemptive insight into potential reversals or sustained continuation.
By observing both structural alignment and harmonic expansion/contraction, traders gain a clear sense of when markets are trending with conviction versus when conditions are consolidating or becoming unpredictable. This allows for proactive trade management, rather than reactive responses to lagging indicators.
Strategy Integration
Harmonic Super Guppy adapts to various trading methodologies with clear, actionable guidance.
Trend Following : Enter positions when fast and slow lines are aligned and harmonics are expanding. The broader the alignment, the stronger the confirmation of trend persistence. For example:
A fast line crossover above slow lines with expanding fills confirms momentum-driven continuation.
Traders can use harmonic amplitude as a filter to reduce entries against prevailing trends.
Breakout Trading : Periods of line compression indicate potential volatility expansion. When fast lines diverge from slow lines after compression, this often precedes breakouts. Traders can combine this visual cue with structural supports/resistances or order flow analysis to improve timing and precision.
Exhaustion and Reversals : Divergences between harmonic components, or contraction of fast lines relative to slow lines, highlight weakening trends. This can indicate liquidity exhaustion, trend fatigue, or corrective phases. For example:
A flattening fast line group above a rising slow line can hint at short-term overextension.
Traders may use these signals to tighten stops, take partial profits, or prepare for contrarian setups.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis : Overlay slow lines from higher timeframes on lower timeframe charts to filter noise and trade in alignment with larger market structures. For example:
A daily bullish alignment combined with a 15-minute breakout pattern increases probability of a successful intraday trade.
Conversely, a higher timeframe divergence can warn against taking counter-trend trades in lower timeframes.
Adaptive Trade Management : Harmonic expansion/contraction can guide dynamic risk management:
Stops may be adjusted according to slow line support/resistance or harmonic contraction zones.
Position sizing can be modulated based on harmonic amplitude and compression levels, optimizing risk-reward without rigid rules.
Technical Implementation Details
Harmonic Super Guppy is powered by a multi-layered harmonic and phase calculation engine:
Harmonic Processing : Primary, secondary, and tertiary harmonics are calculated per period to capture multiple market cycles simultaneously. This reduces noise and amplifies meaningful signals.
Golden Ratio Modulation : Phase adjustments based on φ = 1.618 align harmonic contributions with natural market rhythms, smoothing lag and improving predictive value.
Adaptive Trend Scaling : Fast line expansion reflects short-term momentum; slow lines provide structural trend context. Fills adapt dynamically based on alignment intensity and harmonic amplitude.
Multi-Factor Trend Analysis : Trend strength is determined by alignment of fast and slow lines over multiple bars, expansion/contraction of harmonic amplitudes, divergences between primary, secondary, and tertiary harmonics and phase synchronization with golden ratio cycles.
These computations allow the indicator to be highly responsive yet smooth, providing traders with actionable insights in real time without overloading visual complexity.

Super Arma Institucional PRO v6.3Super Arma Institucional PRO v6.3
Description
Super Arma Institucional PRO v6.3 is a multifunctional indicator designed for traders looking for a clear and objective analysis of the market, focusing on trends, key price levels and high liquidity zones. It combines three essential elements: moving averages (EMA 20, SMA 50, EMA 200), dynamic support and resistance, and volume-based liquidity zones. This integration offers an institutional view of the market, ideal for identifying strategic entry and exit points.
How it Works
Moving Averages:
EMA 20 (orange): Sensitive to short-term movements, ideal for capturing fast trends.
SMA 50 (blue): Represents the medium-term trend, smoothing out fluctuations.
EMA 200 (red): Indicates the long-term trend, used as a reference for the general market bias.
Support and Resistance: Calculated based on the highest and lowest prices over a defined period (default: 20 bars). These dynamic levels help identify zones where the price may encounter barriers or supports.
Liquidity Zones: Purple rectangles are drawn in areas of significantly above-average volume, indicating regions where large market participants (institutional) may be active. These zones are useful for anticipating price movements or order absorption.
Purpose
The indicator was developed to provide a clean and institutional view of the market, combining classic tools (moving averages and support/resistance) with modern liquidity analysis. It is ideal for traders operating swing trading or position trading strategies, allowing to identify:
Short, medium and long-term trends.
Key support and resistance levels to plan entries and exits.
High liquidity zones where institutional orders can influence the price.
Settings
Show EMA 20 (true): Enables/disables the 20-period EMA.
Show SMA 50 (true): Enables/disables the 50-period SMA.
Show EMA 200 (true): Enables/disables the 200-period EMA.
Support/Resistance Period (20): Sets the period for calculating support and resistance levels.
Liquidity Sensitivity (20): Period for calculating the average volume.
Minimum Liquidity Factor (1.5): Multiplier of the average volume to identify high liquidity zones.
How to Use
Moving Averages:
Crossovers between the EMA 20 and SMA 50 may indicate short/medium-term trend changes.
The EMA 200 serves as a reference for the long-term bias (above = bullish, below = bearish).
Support and Resistance: Use the red (resistance) and green (support) lines to identify reversal or consolidation zones.
Liquidity Zones: The purple rectangles highlight areas of high volume, where the price may react (reversal or breakout). Consider these zones to place orders or manage risks.
Adjust the parameters according to the asset and timeframe to optimize the analysis.
Notes
The chart should be configured only with this indicator to ensure clarity.
Use on timeframes such as 1 hour, 4 hours or daily for better visualization of liquidity zones and support/resistance levels.
Avoid adding other indicators to the chart to keep the script output easily identifiable.
The indicator is designed to be clean, without explicit buy/sell signals, following an institutional approach.
This indicator is perfect for traders who want a visually clear and powerful tool to trade based on trends, key levels and institutional behavior.
Volume Weighted Median Price (VWMP)The volume is indeed crucial for confirming price moves and understanding market conviction. While many traders are familiar with VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), this indicator introduces a lesser-known but powerful cousin: the Volume Weighted Median Price (VWMP).
What is VWMP?
Unlike VWAP, which calculates the average price weighted by volume over a period, VWMP identifies the median price level weighted by volume.
Think of it this way: If you line up all the trades within a specific lookback period, sorted by price, and then start accumulating the volume traded at each price level, the VWMP is the price level where 50% of the total volume occurred below it, and 50% occurred above it.
It essentially finds the "middle ground" of trading activity based on where the bulk of the volume actually traded, not just the average price.
Key Difference: VWMP vs. VWAP
VWAP: Volume Weighted Average Price. Sensitive to outliers (single large trades at extreme prices can skew the average).
VWMP: Volume Weighted Median Price. More robust to outliers. It represents the price that splits the period's volume distribution in half.
Because it uses the median, VWMP can sometimes provide a more stable or representative level of the "typical" price where significant volume is changing hands, especially in volatile markets or when large, anomalous trades occur.
How to Interpret and Use VWMP in trading
The VWMP plots as a line on your chart, similar to a moving average or VWAP. Here are a few ways traders might use it:
Dynamic Support and Resistance:
Like VWAP, the VWMP line can act as a dynamic level of interest.
Watch how price interacts with the VWMP. Consistent acceptance above VWMP might suggest bullish control and potential support.
Consistent rejection or acceptance below VWMP might indicate bearish control and potential resistance.
Trend Filter / Confirmation:
Uptrend: Look for price consistently staying above the VWMP line. Pullbacks to the VWMP that hold could offer entry opportunities.
Downtrend: Look for price consistently staying below the VWMP line. Rallies to the VWMP that fail could present shorting opportunities.
Use it to filter trades: Only take long trades if price is above VWMP, and short trades if below.
Mean Reversion Potential (Use with Caution):
When price extends significantly far away from the VWMP, some traders might look for potential reversion back towards this volume-based median level.
Important: This should not be used in isolation. Always look for confirmation from other indicators (like RSI, Stochastics, or candlestick patterns) before trading counter-trend reversions.
Confluence with Other Indicators:
VWMP works best when combined with other analysis tools.
Look for confluence: Does the VWMP align with a key Fibonacci level, a standard moving average, or a prior support/resistance zone? This confluence strengthens the level's potential significance.
Considerations
Lookback Period: The length input is crucial. A shorter period makes VWMP more responsive to recent action; a longer period makes it smoother and reflects longer-term volume distribution. Experiment to find what suits your timeframe and trading style.
Lagging Nature: Like all indicators based on past data, VWMP is inherently lagging. It reflects past volume distribution, not the future.
Market Context: Its effectiveness can vary depending on the market conditions (trending vs. ranging) and the asset being traded.
EMA Ribbon with 100 MA BY TIJUThe EMA Ribbon with 100 MA is a powerful and visually intuitive indicator designed to help traders identify trends, momentum, and potential support/resistance levels using multiple Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). By plotting a series of EMAs with varying periods, the script creates a "ribbon" effect on the chart, making it easier to spot trend direction and strength at a glance.
Key Features:
Multiple EMAs for Trend Analysis:
The script plots 8 EMAs with periods ranging from 20 to 55, creating a gradient ribbon effect.
The 100-period EMA is added as a thick blue line, acting as a key level for long-term trend analysis.
Customizable Periods:
Each EMA period is fully customizable, allowing traders to tailor the indicator to their preferred trading style and timeframe.
Visual Clarity:
The EMAs are color-coded, making it easy to distinguish between different periods and identify the overall trend direction.
Dynamic Support/Resistance:
The EMAs act as dynamic support and resistance levels, helping traders identify potential entry and exit points.
Drop Candles Feature:
The script includes an option to drop the first N candles, ensuring cleaner calculations and avoiding false signals during the initial periods.
How to Use:
Trend Identification:
Uptrend: When the shorter-period EMAs are stacked above the longer-period EMAs, it indicates a strong uptrend.
Downtrend: When the longer-period EMAs are stacked above the shorter-period EMAs, it indicates a strong downtrend.
Consolidation: When the EMAs are intertwined, it suggests a sideways or weak trend.
Support/Resistance Levels:
Use the EMAs as dynamic support/resistance levels. For example, in an uptrend, the price may bounce off the lower EMAs.
100-Period EMA:
The 100-period EMA (thick blue line) acts as a key level for long-term trend analysis. A price above this line suggests a bullish bias, while a price below suggests a bearish bias.
Customization:
Adjust the EMA periods and colors to suit your trading strategy.
Use the Drop first N candles option to avoid false signals during the initial periods.
Example Use Cases:
Trend Following:
Enter long positions when the price is above the EMA ribbon and the EMAs are stacked in an uptrend.
Enter short positions when the price is below the EMA ribbon and the EMAs are stacked in a downtrend.
Dynamic Support/Resistance:
Use the EMAs as dynamic support/resistance levels for setting stop-loss or take-profit targets.
Confirmation Tool:
Combine the EMA Ribbon with other indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD) to confirm trade signals.
Settings:
MA-1 to MA-8 Periods: Adjust the periods for the 8 EMAs (default: 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55).

BRT Cluster VolumeTitle and Purpose
BRT Cluster Volume is a powerful market analysis tool designed to identify key support and resistance levels, cluster volumes, and breakout signals. This script is highly beneficial for traders who aim to gain deeper insights into market trends and pinpoint zones of interest for buyers and sellers.
Key Features
1. Support and Resistance Levels:
- The script automatically detects chart extremums by analyzing a specified number of bars on the left and right to form levels. This approach effectively identifies local highs and lows.
- The uniqueness of this implementation lies in its dynamic data processing. For each extremum, the "channel width" is calculated, allowing insignificant levels to be filtered out based on a user-defined minimum width. This method eliminates noise and ensures focus on critical levels.
- Extremum lines can be extended to the right (when enabled), allowing traders to track current price movements relative to historical levels.
2. Cluster Volume:
- The cluster analysis is based on lower timeframe data, providing precise identification of key zones of market participant activity. The script dynamically requests close prices and volumes from lower timeframes, calculates the average volume, and identifies levels where volumes exceed a defined threshold.
- The visualization of cluster volumes is unique: volumes exceeding the threshold are displayed as candles with customizable colors and markers. These indicators help traders identify zones of significant interest.
- Cluster volume is only displayed when it interacts with support or resistance levels, ensuring that the visualization remains precise and relevant for market analysis.
3. Breakout Signals:
- The script evaluates "breakout strength" for each breakout of support or resistance levels by comparing the current price with the level. This helps filter false breakouts and focus on significant price movements.
- Traders can select the source for breakout signals (close price or high/low), offering flexibility for various trading styles and strategies.
- By incorporating the concept of "maximum breakout strength," the script highlights only meaningful breakouts, ignoring minor fluctuations.
4. Integration of Trading Sessions:
- Extremum levels for major trading sessions (Asia, Europe, USA) are identified and labeled on the chart. This allows traders to see when significant price levels were formed during the day.
- The script uses timestamps to automatically detect session times, ensuring accuracy and minimizing manual adjustments.
5. Dynamic Data Updates:
- The script dynamically updates support and resistance levels in real time as new data becomes available. This feature is crucial for traders working in fast-moving markets.
- Outdated information (such as obsolete levels) is automatically removed to keep the chart clean and focused on relevant data.
6. Visualization of Activity Zones:
- Trend direction is visualized using color-coded candles based on cluster volumes. For instance, candles with volumes exceeding the average are highlighted with specific colors, helping traders quickly identify areas of heightened activity.
- The unique aspect of this visualization is that cluster volumes appear only in zones where they interact with breakout levels, providing an intuitive and streamlined presentation of critical data.
Usage
- Support and Resistance: Adjust the "Left Bars" and "Right Bars" settings to determine extremums. Use the "Channel Min Width" setting to filter out insignificant levels.
- Cluster Volume: Customize the analysis period and volume threshold to identify high-activity zones. Enable breakout clusters to see how volumes interact with breakouts.
- Session Extremums: Highlight significant levels for Asia, Europe, and US trading sessions to gain insights into market dynamics across different time zones.
- Breakout Signals: Configure the breakout strength and source (close or high/low) for precise signal detection.
