Multi-Timeframe Technical IndicatorThis Multi-Timeframe Technical Indicator is designed for use in financial markets to assist traders in evaluating various key technical indicators across multiple timeframes. The indicator displays a table that includes the values of Moving Averages (MA), Relative Strength Index (RSI), Momentum, and VWAP for a range of timeframes, allowing for the evaluation of trends in real-time.
Key Features:
Multiple Timeframes: The indicator supports timeframes ranging from as low as 1 minute up to 1 month. By tracking indicators on multiple timeframes, traders can make better-informed decisions based on trends across different periods (e.g., short-term vs. long-term trends).
Technical Indicators:
Moving Average (MA): The MA provides insight into the trend direction of the asset's price. It can be configured as Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), or Weighted Moving Average (WMA).
Relative Strength Index (RSI): A momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. RSI values below 50 suggest an upward trend, while values above 50 indicate a downward trend.
Momentum: Measures the rate of change of an asset's price, highlighting whether the price is increasing or decreasing.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price): Reflects the average price of the asset weighted by its trading volume. Traders use this value to gauge the fair value of an asset.
Trend Indicators: The table dynamically displays trend arrows (↑ or ↓) based on the comparison of each indicator's value to the previous timeframe’s value. This allows users to identify the prevailing market sentiment or trend at a glance.
Visualization: The data is presented in an easy-to-read table format, where each value is accompanied by color-coded indicators (e.g., green for bullish trends, red for bearish trends). This provides a clear and visually accessible way to interpret complex market conditions.
Use Cases:
Day Trading: Helps day traders assess the momentum and strength of a price move on short-term timeframes like 1-minute, 5-minute, and 15-minute intervals.
Swing Trading: Provides insights into medium-term trends using 1-hour, 4-hour, and daily data points.
Long-Term Analysis: Useful for traders and investors looking to gauge the overall health of an asset over weeks or months, analyzing the 1-week and 1-month indicators.
Limitations and Risks:
As with all technical indicators, it is important to remember that the Multi-Timeframe Technical Indicator is not foolproof. While technical analysis offers valuable insights, it does not guarantee success and can lead to losses. Traders should always use a combination of different methods (technical and fundamental) and consult with financial advisors before making trading decisions.
The indicator operates as a tool for analysis but should not be the sole basis for trading decisions. According to Elder (1993), no indicator is perfect, and it is crucial to combine multiple factors when assessing market conditions. Additionally, Murphy (1999) emphasized the importance of understanding the limitations of indicators, as they are based on historical price movements and may not always predict future trends accurately.

[volfgang] Pivot Levels (Open, Close, High, Low)This script provides a clear and consistent way to track key price levels from Weekly and Daily bars, directly on your current chart interval.
The default colours are;
Today & This Week Open = White
Yesterday & Previous Week Open = Cream
Yesterday's High = Red
Yesterday's Low = Green
Weekly Pivots are 2px, and Daily Pivots are 1px.
Instead of requiring manual referencing of daily or weekly charts, these significant levels are automatically drawn and updated in real time, extending to the right as new bars form.
It adds value by helping traders quickly identify potential support/resistance zones and compare intraday price action with higher-timeframe pivots. This approach can aid in scalping, day trading, or swing trading strategies that rely on past price levels for trade entries, exits, or stop loss placement.
Daily Pivots Displayed Intraday
The script imports the previous day’s High, Low, Open, and Close and draws lines on the current chart, so you can see exactly where those levels lie on any intraday timeframe. You can easily change the colour of these lines in the menu.
Instead of switching between multiple charts for daily references, you can keep an intraday chart open and still watch how price behaves around these important daily pivots.
Weekly Pivots for Broader Context
In addition to daily levels, it also shows the previous week’s Open and Close. This feature helps traders who want to maintain a broader perspective and gauge the market’s weekly trend or bias while remaining on lower timeframes.
Automatic Line & Label Management
Each new trading day triggers a “session change” in the code, prompting the script to delete old lines and labels for daily levels. This keeps your chart from getting cluttered with outdated lines.
Weekly lines and labels follow the same approach, ensuring only the most recent weekly levels are highlighted.
Real-Time Extension
Lines are continuously extended to the right as new bars print, ensuring that you always have an updated view of your key price levels without any manual adjustments.
On the last bar, the script shifts to a time-based coordinate system for seamless visual extension.
Minimal Recalculation
This script uses security() calls in a carefully optimized way to reduce unnecessary recalculations and avoid repaint issues. By referencing open , close , etc., the lines remain fixed once the daily (or weekly) candle is confirmed.
Flexible Usage
You can apply this script to any symbol on TradingView. It’s especially beneficial for Forex pairs, indices, futures, or cryptocurrencies where you want to track significant past levels.
If you’re a scalper looking for areas of likely reaction, or a swing trader watching weekly opens for trend confirmation, these levels can be integral to your technical approach.
How to Use
Add to Chart: Click the “Add to Favorite Indicators” or “Apply to Chart” button once published.
Enable or Disable Previous Day Bars: Use the script’s input to toggle the display of previous day’s High, Low, Open, and Close lines if you only want weekly lines (or vice versa).
Customize Visuals: You can change line colors, width, and label text in the “Style” or “Inputs” tab. Adjust them to fit your preferred color scheme.
Interpretation:
Daily levels typically carry relevance for the next trading session. They can be used for intraday support/resistance, breakout checks, or gap fills.
Weekly levels help identify more prominent zones for bigger moves or for understanding overall sentiment from the prior week.
Conceptual Underpinnings
Support/Resistance: Past opens/closes often act as support or resistance because they represent important points of reference (where trading started or ended during a prior session).
Market Psychology: Many traders watch daily or weekly closes to gauge momentum and bias, which can become self-fulfilling as more participants join around those levels.
Improved Situational Awareness: By having these levels automatically drawn and updated, traders avoid missing critical areas where price may pivot.
This script is intentionally open-source to help traders study and personalize it.
By merging daily and weekly pivot concepts in a single script, it provides a convenient and efficient tool—rather than a simple mashup, it unifies two timeframes that are crucial in short-term and medium-term trading decisions.
Remember that these levels alone do not constitute a complete trading system; they are best used as part of a broader strategy involving risk management, additional technical signals, and market context.
Pivot Points High Low - JVersion**Indicator Name**: Pivot Points High Low (Without Price Labels)
**Overview**
The Pivot Points High Low indicator is designed to identify and mark local highs and lows (or “pivot” points) on a price chart. Unlike other pivot-based indicators that label each pivot with its exact price, this version displays only small circular markers—removing clutter and focusing attention on the pivot locations themselves.
**Key Features**
1. **Pivot Detection**
- The script uses TradingView’s built-in `ta.pivothigh()` and `ta.pivotlow()` functions to determine when the market has formed a pivot high or pivot low.
- You can define how many bars to the left and right are required to confirm a pivot, helping you tailor the indicator to different market conditions and timeframes.
2. **Clean Markers**
- Each confirmed pivot high or low is represented by a circle placed precisely on the candle where the pivot is detected.
- No numeric labels are shown, keeping your chart visually uncluttered while still highlighting important turning points in price.
3. **Customization**
- **Left/Right Pivot Length**: Choose how many bars to the left and right must be lower (for highs) or higher (for lows) to validate a pivot. Larger values mean fewer but more significant pivots; smaller values mean more frequent pivots.
- **Marker Colors**: Independently customize the colors of the high-marker circles and low-marker circles to easily distinguish between local tops and bottoms.
4. **Usage and Interpretation**
- **Identifying Reversals**: As soon as a circle appears at a local high or low, it may indicate a short-term trend reversal or the beginning of a new swing in price.
- **Combine with Other Tools**: Pivot points are more informative when used alongside broader trend analysis, support/resistance identification, or other momentum indicators.
- **Adjusting Sensitivity**: By increasing or decreasing the left/right pivot lengths, you can make the indicator more or less sensitive to small market fluctuations.
5. **Practical Tips**
- **Swing Trading**: Shorter lengths can be used by swing traders looking for quick reversals in lower timeframes.
- **Longer-Term Trends**: Larger lengths are better for position traders or those who prefer to see only major turning points in the market.
- **Clean Chart Layout**: Because text labels are removed, you can visually focus on the circles—especially helpful if you use multiple indicators and prefer a less cluttered chart.
---
By pinpointing local highs and lows without price labels, the **Pivot Points High Low** indicator keeps charts neat yet informative, allowing traders to quickly recognize potential turning points in the market and make more informed decisions.

ENIGMA Signals with Retests Select higher Time FrameENIGMA Signals with Retests – Script Description
The "ENIGMA Signals with Retests" script is a unique indicator designed for traders who prefer precision trading based on price action retests of key levels derived from higher timeframes. This tool is ideal for those employing multi-timeframe analysis strategies, helping them detect high-probability trade entries when the price interacts with significant support and resistance levels.
What Does This Script Do?
This indicator identifies key levels from a higher timeframe selected by the user (e.g., 4-hour or daily), then tracks price action on lower timeframes to provide actionable buy and sell signals when the price retests these levels. It visually plots the key levels on the chart and triggers alerts for potential trade opportunities when conditions are met.
How It Works
Key Level Detection:
The script uses custom functions to detect recent swing highs and swing lows on the selected higher timeframe (such as 4H or Daily). These levels represent potential areas of support and resistance where price reactions are likely to occur.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
The indicator leverages the request.security() function to retrieve price data from the user-defined higher timeframe and plots horizontal lines on the chart for the most recent swing highs and lows.
Retest-Based Signals:
Once the key levels are plotted, the script continuously monitors the price on the lower timeframe:
A Buy Signal is triggered when the price closes below a key high level and then moves back above it, indicating a potential bullish retest.
A Sell Signal is triggered when the price closes above a key low level and then moves back below it, indicating a potential bearish retest.
These retest signals are displayed as green and red arrows on the chart, helping traders identify optimal entry points.
Alerts for Retests:
The script includes built-in alert conditions that notify traders when a valid retest signal occurs. This allows traders to react promptly without constantly monitoring the chart.
How to Use the Script
Select Your Key Timeframe:
From the input settings, choose a higher timeframe that suits your trading style (e.g., 4H for intraday trading or Daily for swing trading).
Adjust Visual Preferences:
Customize the line style (solid, dashed, or dotted) and length of the plotted levels.
Toggle labels for the levels on or off as per your preference.
Trade Execution:
Once a retest signal appears on the lower timeframe, consider entering a trade in the direction of the signal. The buy signal suggests a potential long entry, while the sell signal indicates a potential short entry.
Set Alerts:
Use the alert conditions provided to get notified whenever a valid retest occurs. This helps in reducing screen time and improving trading efficiency.
Underlying Concepts
This script is grounded in the principles of support and resistance, retests, and breakout trading. By focusing on multi-timeframe key levels, it aligns with widely used trading concepts like:
Breakout and Retest: Entering trades after a confirmed breakout and successful retest of a significant level.
Swing Highs and Lows: Recognizing swing points to identify strong price reaction zones.

Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse1. Name and Purpose
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse is a Pine version 6 extension of the basic Fisher Transform indicator that focuses on highlighting potential turning points in price data. Its purpose is to allow traders to spot shifts in momentum, detect divergence, and adapt signals to different market environments. By combining a core Fisher Transform with additional signal processing, divergence detection, and customizable aggressiveness settings, this script aims to help users see when a price move might be losing momentum or gaining strength.
2. Overview
This script uses a Fisher Transform calculation on the average of each bar’s high and low (hl2). The Fisher Transform is designed to amplify price extremes by mapping data into a different scale, making potential reversals more visible than they might be with standard oscillators. Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse takes this concept further by integrating a signal line, divergence detection, bar coloring for momentum intensity, and optional thresholds to reduce unwanted noise.
3. Why Use the Fisher Transform
The Fisher Transform is known for converting relatively smoothed price data into a more pronounced scale. This transformation highlights where markets may be overextended. In many cases, standard oscillators move gently, and traders can miss subtle hints that a reversal might be approaching. The Fisher Transform’s mathematical approach tightens the range of values and sharpens the highs and lows. This behavior can allow traders to see clearer peaks and troughs in momentum. Because it is often quite responsive, it can help anticipate areas where price might change direction, especially when compared to simpler moving averages or traditional oscillators. The result is a more evident signal of possible overbought or oversold conditions.
4. How This Extension Improves on the Basic Fisher Transform
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse adds multiple features to the classic Fisher framework in order to address different trading styles and market behaviors:
a) Divergence Detection
The script can detect bullish or bearish divergences between price and the oscillator over a chosen lookback period, helping traders anticipate shifts in market direction.
b) Bar Coloring
When momentum exceeds a certain threshold (default 3), bars can be colored to highlight surges of buying or selling pressure. This quick visual reference can assist in spotting periods of heightened activity. After a bar color like this, usually, there is a quick correction as seen in the image below.
c) Signal Aggressiveness Levels
Users can choose between conservative, moderate, or aggressive signal thresholds. This allows them to tune how quickly the indicator flags potential entries or exits. Aggressive settings might suit scalpers who need rapid signals, while conservative settings may benefit swing traders preferring fewer, more robust indications.
d) Minimum Movement Filter
A configurable filter can be set to ensure that the Fisher line and its signal have a sufficient gap before triggering a buy or sell signal. This step is useful for traders seeking to minimize signals during choppy or sideways markets. This can be used to eliminate noise as well.
By combining all these elements into one package, the indicator attempts to offer a comprehensive toolkit for those who appreciate the Fisher Transform’s clarity but also desire more versatility.
5. Core Components
a) Fisher Transform
The script calculates a Fisher value using normalized price over a configurable length, highlighting potential peaks and troughs.
b) Signal Line
The Fisher line is smoothed using a short Simple Moving Average. Crossovers and crossunders are one of the key ways this indicator attempts to confirm momentum shifts.
c) Divergence Logic
The script looks back over a set number of bars to compare current highs and lows of both price and the Fisher oscillator. When price and the oscillator move in opposing directions, a divergence may occur, suggesting a possible upcoming reversal or weakening trend.
d) Thresholds for Overbought and Oversold
Horizontal lines are drawn at user-chosen overbought and oversold levels. These lines help traders see when momentum readings reach particular extremes, which can be especially relevant when combined with crossovers in that region.
e) Intensity Filter and Bar Coloring
If the magnitude of the change in the Fisher Transform meets or exceeds a specified threshold, bars are recolored. This provides a visual cue for significant momentum changes.
6. User Inputs
a) length
Defines how many bars the script looks back to compute the highest high and lowest low for the Fisher Transform. A smaller length reacts more quickly but can be noisier, while a larger length smooths out the indicator at the cost of responsiveness.
b) signal aggressiveness
Adjusts the buy and sell thresholds for conservative, moderate, and aggressive trading styles. This can be key in matching the indicator to personal risk preferences or varying market conditions. Conservative will give you less signals and aggressive will give you more signals.
c) minimum movement filter
Specifies how far apart the Fisher line and its signal line must be before generating a valid crossover signal.
d) divergence lookback
Controls how many bars are examined when determining if price and the oscillator are diverging. A larger setting might generate fewer signals, while a smaller one can provide more frequent alerts.
e) intensity threshold
Determines how large a change in the Fisher value must be for the indicator to recolor bars. Strong momentum surges become more noticeable.
f) overbought level and oversold level
Lets users define where they consider market conditions to be stretched on the upside or downside.
7. Calculation Process
a) Price Input
The script uses the midpoint of each bar’s high and low, sometimes referred to as hl2.
hl2 = (high + low) / 2
b) Range Normalization
Determine the maximum (maxHigh) and minimum (minLow) values over a user-defined lookback period (length).
Scale the hl2 value so it roughly fits between -1 and +1:
value = 2 * ((hl2 - minLow) / (maxHigh - minLow) - 0.5)
This step highlights the bar’s current position relative to its recent highs and lows.
c) Fisher Calculation
Convert the normalized value into the Fisher Transform:
fisher = 0.5 * ln( (1 + value) / (1 - value) ) + 0.5 * fisher_previous
fisher_previous is simply the Fisher value from the previous bar. Averaging half of the new transform with half of the old value smooths the result slightly and can prevent erratic jumps.
ln is the natural logarithm function, which compresses or expands values so that market turns often become more obvious.
d) Signal Smoothing
Once the Fisher value is computed, a short Simple Moving Average (SMA) is applied to produce a signal line. In code form, this often looks like:
signal = sma(fisher, 3)
Crossovers of the fisher line versus the signal line can be used to hint at changes in momentum:
• A crossover occurs when fisher moves from below to above the signal.
• A crossunder occurs when fisher moves from above to below the signal.
e) Threshold Checking
Users typically define oversold and overbought levels (often -1 and +1).
Depending on aggressiveness settings (conservative, moderate, aggressive), these thresholds are slightly shifted to filter out or include more signals.
For example, an oversold threshold of -1 might be used in a moderate setting, whereas -1.5 could be used in a conservative setting to require a deeper dip before triggering.
f) Divergence Checks
The script looks back a specified number of bars (divergenceLookback). For both price and the fisher line, it identifies:
• priceHigh = the highest hl2 within the lookback
• priceLow = the lowest hl2 within the lookback
• fisherHigh = the highest fisher value within the lookback
• fisherLow = the lowest fisher value within the lookback
If price forms a lower low while fisher forms a higher low, it can signal a bullish divergence. Conversely, if price forms a higher high while fisher forms a lower high, a bearish divergence might be indicated.
g) Bar Coloring
The script monitors the absolute change in Fisher values from one bar to the next (sometimes called fisherChange):
fisherChange = abs(fisher - fisher )
If fisherChange exceeds a user-defined intensityThreshold, bars are recolored to highlight a surge of momentum. Aqua might indicate a strong bullish surge, while purple might indicate a strong bearish surge.
This color-coding provides a quick visual cue for traders looking to spot large momentum swings without constantly monitoring indicator values.
8. Signal Generation and Filtering
Buy and sell signals occur when the Fisher line crosses the signal line in regions defined as oversold or overbought. The optional minimum movement filter prevents triggering if Fisher and its signal line are too close, reducing the chance of small, inconsequential price fluctuations creating frequent signals. Divergences that appear in oversold or overbought regions can serve as additional evidence that momentum might soon shift.
9. Visualization on the Chart
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse plots two lines: the Fisher line in one color and the signal line in a contrasting shade. The chart displays horizontal dashed lines where the overbought and oversold levels lie. When the Fisher Transform experiences a sharp jump or drop above the intensity threshold, the corresponding price bars may change color, signaling that momentum has undergone a noticeable shift. If the indicator detects bullish or bearish divergence, dotted lines are drawn on the oscillator portion to connect the relevant points.
10. Market Adaptability
Because of the different aggressiveness levels and the optional minimum movement filter, Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse can be tailored to multiple trading styles. For instance, a short-term scalper might select a smaller length and more aggressive thresholds, while a swing trader might choose a longer length for smoother readings, along with conservative thresholds to ensure fewer but potentially stronger signals. During strongly trending markets, users might rely more on divergences or large intensity changes, whereas in a range-bound market, oversold or overbought conditions may be more frequent.
11. Risk Management Considerations
Indicators alone do not ensure favorable outcomes, and relying solely on any one signal can be risky. Using a stop-loss or other protections is often suggested, especially in fast-moving or unpredictable markets. Divergence can appear before a market reversal actually starts. Similarly, a Fisher Transform can remain in an overbought or oversold region for extended periods, especially if the trend is strong. Cautious interpretation and confirmation with additional methods or chart analysis can help refine entry and exit decisions.
12. Combining with Other Tools
Traders can potentially strengthen signals from Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse by checking them against other methods. If a moving average cross or a price pattern aligns with a Fisher crossover, the combined evidence might provide more certainty. Volume analysis may confirm whether a shift in market direction has participation from a broad set of traders. Support and resistance zones could reinforce overbought or oversold signals, particularly if price reaches a historical boundary at the same time the oscillator indicates a possible reversal.
13. Parameter Customization and Examples
Some short-term traders run a 15-minute chart, with a shorter length setting, aggressively tight oversold and overbought thresholds, and a smaller divergence lookback. This approach produces more frequent signals, which may appeal to those who enjoy fast-paced trading. More conservative traders might apply the indicator to a daily chart, using a larger length, moderate threshold levels, and a bigger divergence lookback to focus on broader market swings. Results can differ, so it may be helpful to conduct thorough historical testing to see which combination of parameters aligns best with specific goals.
14. Realistic Expectations
While the Fisher Transform can reveal potential turning points, no mathematical tool can predict future price behavior with full certainty. Markets can behave erratically, and a period of strong trending may see the oscillator pinned in an extreme zone without a significant reversal. Divergence signals sometimes appear well before an actual trend change occurs. Recognizing these limitations helps traders manage risk and avoids overreliance on any one aspect of the script’s output.
15. Theoretical Background
The Fisher Transform uses a logarithmic formula to map a normalized input, typically ranging between -1 and +1, into a scale that can fluctuate around values like -3 to +3. Because the transformation exaggerates higher and lower readings, it becomes easier to spot when the market might have stretched too far, too fast. Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse builds on that foundation by adding a series of practical tools that help confirm or refine those signals.
16. Originality and Uniqueness
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse is not simply a duplicate of the basic Fisher Transform. It enhances the original design in several ways, including built-in divergence detection, bar-color triggers for momentum surges, thresholds for overbought and oversold levels, and customizable signal aggressiveness. By unifying these concepts, the script seeks to reduce noise and highlight meaningful shifts in market direction. It also places greater emphasis on helping traders adapt the indicator to their specific style—whether that involves frequent intraday signals or fewer, more robust alerts over longer timeframes.
17. Summary
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse is an expanded take on the original Fisher Transform oscillator, including divergence detection, bar coloring based on momentum strength, and flexible signal thresholds. By adjusting parameters like length, aggressiveness, and intensity thresholds, traders can configure the script for day-trading, swing trading, or position trading. The indicator endeavors to highlight where price might be shifting direction, but it should still be combined with robust risk management and other analytical methods. Doing so can lead to a more comprehensive view of market conditions.
18. Disclaimer
No indicator or script can guarantee profitable outcomes in trading. Past performance does not necessarily suggest future results. Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse is provided for educational and informational purposes. Users should apply their own judgment and may want to confirm signals with other tools and methods. Deciding to open or close a position remains a personal choice based on each individual’s circumstances and risk tolerance.

Volume-Based RSI Color Indicator with MAsVolume-Based RSI Color Indicator with MAs
Overview
This script combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with volume analysis to provide an enhanced perspective on market conditions. By dynamically coloring the RSI line based on overbought/oversold conditions and volume thresholds, this indicator helps traders quickly identify high-probability reversal zones. Additionally, it incorporates short-term and long-term moving averages (MAs) of the RSI for trend analysis, making it a versatile tool for scalping and swing trading strategies.
Key Features
Dynamic RSI Color Coding:
The RSI line changes color based on two conditions:
Overbought/High Volume: RSI is above the overbought threshold (default: 70) and volume exceeds the average volume by a user-defined multiplier (default: 2.0). The line turns red, indicating potential reversal zones.
Oversold/High Volume: RSI is below the oversold threshold (default: 30) and volume exceeds the average volume by the multiplier. The line turns green, suggesting potential buying opportunities.
Neutral Conditions: Default blue color for all other scenarios.
Volume Integration:
Unlike standard RSI indicators, this script incorporates volume data to refine signals, helping traders avoid false signals in low-volume environments.
RSI Moving Averages:
Two moving averages of the RSI (short-term and long-term) provide trend context:
200-period MA: Highlights the long-term trend in RSI values.
20-period MA: Shows short-term fluctuations for quick decision-making.
Both MAs can be calculated using Simple or Exponential methods, giving users flexibility.
Visual Aids:
Horizontal lines at the overbought (70) and oversold (30) levels help define the boundaries of expected price action extremes.
How It Works
The script calculates the RSI over a user-defined length (default: 14).
Volume data is compared to its moving average to determine if it exceeds the user-defined high-volume threshold.
When RSI and volume conditions align, the RSI line is dynamically colored to indicate potential overbought/oversold zones.
The RSI moving averages provide additional context to confirm trends or reversals.
How to Use
Identify Reversal Zones:
Look for green RSI signals in oversold conditions to identify potential buying opportunities.
Look for red RSI signals in overbought conditions to identify potential selling opportunities.
Use Moving Averages for Confirmation:
When the RSI is above its 200-period MA, the long-term trend is bullish; consider only long trades.
When the RSI is below its 200-period MA, the trend is bearish; consider only short trades.
Combine with Other Tools:
This indicator works best when used alongside price action analysis, candlestick patterns, or support/resistance levels.
Originality
This script is unique in combining volume analysis with RSI and RSI-specific moving averages. While many indicators focus on RSI or volume separately, this script marries these two key metrics to filter out weak signals and improve trade decision accuracy.
Chart Recommendations
Clean Chart: Use this indicator on a clean chart without additional overlays for maximum clarity.
Timeframes: Works well on intraday charts (e.g., 5m, 15m) for scalping and on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, Daily) for swing trading.
Disclaimer
This indicator is a tool to aid trading decisions and should not be used in isolation. Always consider other factors such as market conditions, news events, and risk management.

Enhanced SMA Strategy with Trend Lines & S&R by DaxThe Enhanced SMA Strategy with Trend Lines & Support/Resistance (S&R) by Dax indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to improve trading decisions by combining the simplicity of the Simple Moving Average (SMA) with the insight provided by trend lines and support/resistance levels. This hybrid approach aims to create a more robust and reliable trading strategy.
Key Components:
Simple Moving Average (SMA):
SMA is a basic trend-following indicator that calculates the average of a set of price data over a specified period. It helps identify the direction of the market, such as whether an asset is in an uptrend or downtrend.
The Enhanced SMA Strategy may use multiple SMAs, such as short-term (e.g., 20-period) and long-term (e.g., 50-period), to detect crossovers that signal buy or sell opportunities. For example, a bullish crossover occurs when a short-term SMA crosses above a long-term SMA, indicating a potential buying signal, while a bearish crossover signals a potential sell.
Trend Lines:
Trend lines are drawn on the price chart to visually identify the direction of the market, acting as dynamic support and resistance levels. A trend line is drawn by connecting two or more price points that demonstrate the overall price movement.
Trend lines can help traders see potential breakout or breakdown points. A price breaking above a downtrend line or below an uptrend line often signals a trend reversal.
Support and Resistance (S&R):
Support levels are price levels where an asset tends to find buying interest and stop falling, while Resistance levels are points where selling pressure emerges and prevent the price from rising further.
These levels are critical in determining where price reversals or consolidations are likely to occur. Enhanced S&R indicators can automatically identify these levels and draw horizontal lines at these critical points on the chart.
Combining S&R with SMA can help traders decide whether a breakout or bounce is likely at these levels, increasing the odds of a successful trade.
How It Works:
Trend Identification: The SMA is used to determine the trend direction. A rising SMA indicates an uptrend, while a falling SMA suggests a downtrend.
Signal Generation: The strategy often uses a combination of SMA crossovers (bullish or bearish) along with the confirmation of price action near trend lines and support/resistance levels. For example:
If a price breaks above resistance and the short-term SMA crosses above the long-term SMA, a buy signal is confirmed.
Conversely, if the price breaks below support and the short-term SMA crosses below the long-term SMA, a sell signal is given.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: Trend lines are drawn automatically or manually to spot areas where price might reverse. The Enhanced SMA Strategy checks if the price is close to these levels, providing a more precise entry/exit point based on the broader market context.
Advantages of the Enhanced SMA Strategy with Trend Lines & S&R:
Improved Accuracy: By combining trend-following (SMA) with key levels like trend lines and S&R, the strategy filters out false signals, leading to more reliable trade setups.
Trend Confirmation: The use of trend lines and S&R confirms the broader market context, reducing the risk of trading against the trend or entering at weak price points.
Flexible: This strategy can be applied to various timeframes, from short-term day trading to longer-term swing trading.
Visual Clarity: The combination of trend lines, S&R, and moving averages provides a clear and visually intuitive strategy for identifying key price levels and trend shifts.
How to Use It:
Draw Trend Lines: Identify the most recent price peaks and troughs to draw trend lines, marking the potential resistance and support levels.
Use SMAs: Apply two different-period SMAs to detect the trend (e.g., 20-period and 50-period). Pay attention to crossovers for buy/sell signals.
Watch for Breakouts or Reversals: Monitor how the price behaves at support or resistance levels and the trend lines. A price move beyond these levels, accompanied by a confirming SMA crossover, can signal a strong trade opportunity.
Conclusion:
The Enhanced SMA Strategy with Trend Lines & S&R by Dax is a powerful, multi-layered approach to technical analysis. It enhances the basic SMA strategy by incorporating additional tools like trend lines and support/resistance levels, which help traders make more informed decisions with higher accuracy. This method is suitable for both novice and experienced traders, offering clear trade signals while reducing the risk of false entries.
DAILY ATR LEVELSThis script is a custom technical indicator for use in TradingView, designed to display daily Average True Range (ATR) levels on the chart, along with the daily opening price. It provides a customizable way to track price levels relative to the daily ATR, which can be useful for traders looking for volatility-based price targets or ranges.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Customization Options:
- Line Width: Determines the thickness of the plotted lines for the ATR levels and daily open line, ranging from 1 to 10.
- Right Offset (minutes): A time offset (in minutes) that shifts the end of the daily opening price line to the right for visual clarity.
- Line Style: The user can choose between solid, dashed, or dotted lines for all the plotted levels.
- Display Options: Users can toggle the visibility of the daily opening price line (showDayLevel), labels (showLabels), and ATR levels (showATRLevels).
- Colors: Customizable colors for the daily opening price line (dayLevelColor), labels (labelTextColor), and the ATR levels for both positive and negative values (atrLevelPlusColor and atrLevelMinusColor).
ATR Settings:
- ATR Length: Defines the number of periods (bars) to use when calculating the ATR. The default is 180, which corresponds to the ATR calculated on the daily chart using the last 180 bars.
- ATR Multiplier: Allows the user to scale the ATR levels by a multiplier (from 0.1 to 5.0), adjusting the sensitivity of the levels.
- ATR Levels: Users can toggle visibility for several predefined ATR levels, such as +25%, +50%, +75%, +100%, -25%, -50%, -75%, and -100%. These levels represent price points above or below the daily open based on the ATR.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ATR Levels Calculation:
- The ATR is calculated based on the daily chart using the ta.atr() function with the specified ATR length, default is set at 180.
- The script computes multiple ATR levels above and below the daily open price, adjusting each level by 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of the ATR value (scaled by the ATR multiplier).
ATR Level Plotting:
- For each ATR level (positive and negative), a line is drawn across the chart at the corresponding price level.
- The color, line style, and width of these lines can be customized.
- Each ATR level also has an optional label showing the percentage level (e.g., "ATR +25%") at the specified price, which is positioned at the end of the line.
- The labels are removed from the previous bars to avoid clutter.
Workflow:
- The script first calculates the daily opening price using the request.security() function to pull the open price from the daily chart.
- It then calculates the ATR based on the selected length and multiplier.
- The start time for the daily open line is determined by the bar's timestamp at the start of the day, and the end time is adjusted using the user-defined right offset.
- After determining the relevant price levels (for the opening price and ATR levels), the script plots these levels on the chart as lines. It handles the drawing and deletion of lines to ensure that the chart remains updated in real time.
- If labels are enabled, text labels are displayed next to the ATR levels and the daily open line, providing clear markers for the user.
Practical Use:
- Volatility Analysis: This indicator is useful for identifying key price levels based on daily volatility (ATR). Traders can use it to set potential targets or support/resistance levels that are adjusted for volatility.
- Day Trading or Swing Trading: The daily opening price line helps traders quickly see where the price opened for the day, and the ATR levels give a dynamic range for the day's potential price movement.
Overall, this script is designed to provide a clear, customizable view of daily price levels in relation to the ATR, helping traders make informed decisions based on volatility and price action.
