Candlestick Strength and Volatility ReadoutDisplays a readout on the top right corner of the screen displaying a two basic calculations (volatility and strength; i.e. candlestick size and how close to the highs or lows it closed) for more convenient candlestick (price action) analysis.
Due to restrictions with Pine Script (or my knowledge thereof) only the current and previous candlestick data is shown, rather than the one currently hovered over.
The data is derived via two simple calculations; volatility being division between the range of the candlestick's high and low by the ATR; 'strength' (what I like to call it) being the range of the body by the range of the open to high or low, depending on the facing direction (positive or negative candlestick). These are expressed as percentages and will turn green depending on the set threshold.
Using this, one can effectively automate calculations you'd have to do by hand otherwise. I personally use these as entry filters in my trading, so it helps to not have to measure, remeasure, and divide before each potential entry.
Settings are implemented to change certain variables to your liking.

Whale Activity Whale Activity Indicator
The Whale Activity Indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed to identify significant trading activities—often referred to as "whale" trades—based on unusually large dollar volumes in the market. This indicator helps traders visualize potential large-scale buying or selling that may influence market movements.
Key Features:
Whale Activity Detection:
Identifies bars where the dollar volume exceeds a specified multiple of the average dollar volume over a certain period.
Highlights potential institutional trades or significant market moves.
Visual Representation:
Histogram Bars: Plots the dollar volume of detected whale activities as red histogram bars in the lower pane.
Trendline: Displays a blue line representing the average whale dollar volume over a user-defined number of past whale activities.
Variable Table: Shows key metrics such as the total number of whale activities, last whale activity volume, and the average whale activity volume.
How It Works:
Dollar Volume Calculation:
Calculates the dollar volume for each bar by multiplying the closing price by the volume.
Average Dollar Volume:
Computes the average dollar volume over a user-defined lookback period to establish a baseline for typical trading activity.
Whale Activity Identification:
Detects whale activities when the current dollar volume exceeds a specified multiplier of the average dollar volume.
Averaging Whale Activities:
Accumulates the dollar volumes and counts of whale activities to calculate an average over a specified number of past events.
Visualization and Metrics:
Plots the whale activities and average trendline for visual analysis.
Displays important variables in a table for quick reference.
Risks and Important Considerations:
Not a Stand-Alone Indicator:
The Whale Activity Indicator should not be used in isolation. It is essential to combine it with other technical analysis tools, fundamental analysis, and sound risk management practices.
Potential for False Signals:
High dollar volume does not always indicate significant institutional trading or market shifts. It may result from market anomalies, news events, or large retail trades.
Lagging Information:
The average trendline is based on historical data and may lag behind current market conditions, potentially providing delayed signals.
Market Variability:
Market conditions can affect the indicator's effectiveness. Volatile markets may produce more frequent signals, which could lead to confusion or overtrading.
Data Limitations:
The accuracy of the indicator depends on the quality and timeliness of the price and volume data. Inaccurate or delayed data can lead to misleading signals.
Risk of Financial Loss:
Trading involves significant risk, and there is the potential for substantial losses. The indicator does not guarantee successful trades.
Disclaimer:
The Whale Activity Indicator is a tool designed to assist traders in identifying unusual trading volumes that may signify significant market activity. However, it should not be used as the sole basis for any trading decision. All trading strategies carry risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Traders should conduct thorough research and consider consulting a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions. Use this indicator at your own risk.
Note: Always ensure you understand how an indicator works and test it thoroughly using historical data and paper trading before applying it to live trading scenarios.
Buy vs Sell VolumeHow It Works:
BuyVol: Estimates buying volume by calculating the proportion of volume attributed to the upward price movement within each bar.
SellVol: Estimates selling volume by calculating the proportion of volume attributed to the downward price movement within each bar.
Customization:
length: You can adjust the length input parameter to change the period over which the average is calculated.
Visualization:
The buy trendline is plotted in Green and represents the average net buying vs. selling volume over the specified period.
The sell trendline is plotted in Red and represents the average net selling vs. buying volume over the specified period.
Note: This script provides an approximation and should be used in conjunction with other analysis tools to make informed trading decisions.

Gains and Drawdowns with Standard DeviationsThis “Gains and Drawdowns with Standard Deviations” indicator helps in analyzing and visualizing the percentage gains and drawdown phases of a market or asset relative to its historical range. By calculating gains from the lowest low and drawdowns from the highest high over a specified lookback period, this indicator provides deeper insights into price movements and risk.
Key Features and Applications:
1. Gain and Drawdown Calculation:
• Gains: The indicator calculates the percentage gain from the lowest price point within a specific lookback period (e.g., 250 days).
• Drawdowns: Drawdowns are calculated as the percentage change from the highest point in the same period. This helps in identifying the maximum loss phases.
2. Standard Deviation:
• The indicator computes the standard deviation of both gains and drawdowns over a specified period (e.g., 250 days), allowing you to quantify volatility.
• Three bands (1st, 2nd, and 3rd standard deviations) are plotted for both gains and drawdowns, representing the frequency and magnitude of price movements within the normal volatility range.
3. Extreme Movements Highlighting:
• The indicator highlights extreme gains and drawdowns when they exceed user-defined thresholds. This helps in identifying significant market events or turning points.
4. Customizable Thresholds:
• Users can adjust the thresholds for extreme gains and drawdowns, as well as the lookback period for calculating gains, drawdowns, and standard deviations, making the indicator highly adaptable to specific needs.
Application in Portfolio Management:
The use of standard deviation in portfolio management is essential for assessing the risk and volatility of a portfolio. According to Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) by Harry Markowitz, diversification of assets in a portfolio helps to minimize overall risk (especially the standard deviation), while maximizing returns. The standard deviation of a portfolio measures the volatility of its returns, with higher standard deviation indicating higher risk.
Scientific Source: Markowitz, H. M. (1952). Portfolio Selection. The Journal of Finance, 7(1), 77-91.
Markowitz’s theory suggests that an optimized portfolio, by minimizing the standard deviation of returns and combining a diversified asset allocation, can achieve better risk-adjusted returns.
Conclusion:
This indicator is particularly useful for traders and portfolio managers who want to understand and visualize market risk and extreme events. By using gains, drawdowns, and volatility metrics, it allows for systematic monitoring and evaluation of price movements, leading to more informed decisions in trading or portfolio management. A comprehensive understanding of price behavior and volatility helps in optimizing risk management and making strategic market entries.
Key Features:
• Visualization of Gains and Drawdowns with color-coded highlights for extreme movements.
• Standard Deviation Calculations for detailed volatility analysis.
• Customizable Thresholds for identifying extreme market events.
This indicator is a valuable tool for analyzing market data from a scientific standpoint, improving risk management, and making data-driven decisions based on historical performance.
Power Of 3 ICT 01 [TradingFinder] AMD ICT & SMC Accumulations🔵 Introduction
The ICT Power of 3 (PO3) strategy, developed by Michael J. Huddleston, known as the Inner Circle Trader, is a structured approach to analyzing daily market activity. This strategy divides the trading day into three distinct phases: Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution.
Each phase represents a unique market behavior influenced by institutional traders, offering a clear framework for retail traders to align their strategies with market movements.
Accumulation (19:00 - 01:00 EST) takes place during low-volatility hours, as institutional traders accumulate orders. Manipulation (01:00 - 07:00 EST) involves false breakouts and liquidity traps designed to mislead retail traders. Finally, Distribution (07:00 - 13:00 EST) represents the active phase where significant market movements occur as institutions distribute their positions in line with the broader trend.
This indicator is built upon the Power of 3 principles to provide traders with a practical and visual tool for identifying these key phases. By using clear color coding and precise time zones, the indicator highlights critical price levels, such as highs and lows, helping traders to better understand market dynamics and make more informed trading decisions.
Incorporating the ICT AMD setup into daily analysis enables traders to anticipate market behavior, spot high-probability trade setups, and gain deeper insights into institutional trading strategies. With its focus on time-based price action, this indicator simplifies complex market structures, offering an effective tool for traders of all levels.
🔵 How to Use
The ICT Power of 3 (PO3) indicator is designed to help traders analyze daily market movements by visually identifying the three key phases: Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution.
Here's how traders can effectively use the indicator :
🟣 Accumulation Phase (19:00 - 01:00 EST)
Purpose : Identify the range-bound activity where institutional players accumulate orders.
Trading Insight : Avoid placing trades during this phase, as price movements are typically limited. Instead, use this time to prepare for the potential direction of the market in the next phases.
🟣 Manipulation Phase (01:00 - 07:00 EST)
Purpose : Spot false breakouts and liquidity traps that mislead retail traders.
Trading Insight : Observe the market for price spikes beyond key support or resistance levels. These moves often reverse quickly, offering high-probability entry points in the opposite direction of the initial breakout.
🟣 Distribution Phase (07:00 - 13:00 EST)
Purpose : Detect the main price movement of the day, driven by institutional distribution.
Trading Insight : Enter trades in the direction of the trend established during this phase. Look for confirmations such as breakouts or strong directional moves that align with broader market sentiment

TimeFlow Momentum IndicatorThe “TimeFlow Momentum Indicator” is a thoughtfully crafted tool that integrates multiple analytical components to deliver a unique perspective on market momentum. It is not a mere combination of existing indicators, but rather a purposeful integration where each element plays a specific role, enhancing the overall functionality and reliability of the script. The primary aim is to provide traders with a more comprehensive and accurate analysis by leveraging time-based divergence, volume validation, and trend filtering.
1. Time-Based Momentum Divergence: The Core Innovation
• The heart of the indicator is the Time Divergence Line, which introduces a unique approach to analyzing momentum by focusing on the time spent in uptrends versus downtrends. Unlike traditional momentum indicators that rely purely on price movements (e.g., RSI, MACD), the Time Divergence Line captures the duration of market trends, offering a different perspective on momentum shifts.
• This method counts consecutive bars where the price closes higher (uptrend) or lower (downtrend) and calculates the difference between these counts. By measuring the time spent in different trend directions, the indicator can detect early signs of trend exhaustion or potential reversals, which are often missed by price-based indicators.
2. EMA Smoothing: Enhancing Signal Clarity
• The raw time divergence data is smoothed using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to filter out noise and provide a clearer, more reliable signal. The EMA helps to capture the underlying trend in the divergence data, making it easier for traders to identify meaningful shifts in momentum without being misled by short-term price fluctuations.
• This smoothing technique is crucial because it reduces false signals, ensuring that the divergence line reflects the true momentum of the market.
3. Overlay Plotting for Better Visualization
• The smoothed Time Divergence Line is directly plotted on the main price chart, offering traders a visual overlay that correlates directly with price action. This design choice enhances the usability of the indicator by allowing traders to see the divergence line’s relationship with the price in real-time, making it easier to spot potential buy and sell signals.
• By overlaying the divergence line on the main chart, the indicator provides a visual representation of momentum divergence, which is more intuitive and actionable compared to separate oscillators.
4. Trend Confirmation Using VWAP and EMA
• To increase the reliability of signals, the indicator incorporates a trend filter using both VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) and EMA (50-period). This filter ensures that signals are generated only when they align with the prevailing market trend:
• The VWAP is used to gauge the average price considering the volume, acting as a dynamic support/resistance level. It helps to confirm whether the market sentiment is bullish or bearish.
• The EMA (50-period) acts as a trend-following indicator, smoothing out price action and providing a clear signal of the overall trend direction.
• This dual-filter approach helps to eliminate false signals that may occur during choppy or sideways market conditions, ensuring that the generated signals are more aligned with the broader market trend.
5. Volume Correlation for Signal Validation
• The indicator integrates a volume filter to confirm the validity of momentum signals. It checks whether the current volume exceeds a threshold based on the average volume, ensuring that signals are only generated when there is strong market participation.
• This volume correlation check is vital because it validates price movements by confirming that they are backed by significant trading activity, reducing the likelihood of false signals in low-volume conditions.
6. Cooldown Mechanism: Controlling Signal Frequency
• To prevent excessive signals, especially during volatile or sideways market conditions, the indicator implements a cooldown period. This feature enforces a minimum number of bars between consecutive signals, reducing noise and preventing traders from being overwhelmed by frequent alerts.
• The cooldown mechanism enhances the signal quality, ensuring that each buy or sell signal is meaningful and not just a result of short-term fluctuations.
How the Components Work Together
The TimeFlow Momentum Indicator is a cohesive tool where each component plays a specific and complementary role:
1. Time Divergence Line identifies shifts in market momentum by analyzing the duration of trends.
2. EMA Smoothing refines the divergence data, providing a clearer signal by filtering out noise.
3. Trend Filter (VWAP + EMA) ensures that signals are generated in alignment with the prevailing market trend, reducing the risk of false signals.
4. Volume Filter validates signals based on trading activity, confirming that price movements are backed by strong volume.
5. Cooldown Mechanism controls the frequency of signals, preventing overtrading and reducing noise.
Conclusion
The “TimeFlow Momentum Indicator” is an innovative tool that offers a new way of analyzing market momentum by focusing on time-based divergence. It combines this original approach with trend and volume filters to create a reliable, user-friendly indicator that can help traders identify high-probability entry and exit points. This is not a simple mashup of existing indicators but a well-designed integration where each component enhances the overall functionality, providing traders with a unique edge in market analysis.
William Fractals + SignalsWilliams Fractals + Trading Signals
This indicator identifies Williams Fractals and generates trading signals based on price sweeps of these fractal levels.
Williams Fractals are specific candlestick patterns that identify potential market turning points. Each fractal requires a minimum of 5 bars (2 before, 1 center, 2 after), though this indicator allows you to customize the number of bars checked.
Up Fractal (High Point) forms when you have a center bar whose HIGH is higher than the highs of 'n' bars before and after it. For example, with n=2, you'd see a pattern where the center bar's high is higher than 2 bars before and 2 bars after it. The indicator also recognizes patterns where up to 4 bars after the center can have equal highs before requiring a lower high.
Down Fractal (Low Point) forms when you have a center bar whose LOW is lower than the lows of 'n' bars before and after it. For example, with n=2, you'd see a pattern where the center bar's low is lower than 2 bars before and 2 bars after it. The indicator also recognizes patterns where up to 4 bars after the center can have equal lows before requiring a higher low.
Trading Signals:
The indicator generates signals when price "sweeps" these fractal levels:
Buy Signal (Green Triangle) triggers when price sweeps a down fractal. This requires price to go BELOW the down fractal's low level and then CLOSE ABOVE it . This pattern often indicates a failed breakdown and potential reversal upward.
Sell Signal (Red Triangle) triggers when price sweeps an up fractal. This requires price to go ABOVE the up fractal's high level and then CLOSE BELOW it. This pattern often indicates a failed breakout and potential reversal downward.
Customizable Settings:
1. Periods (default: 10) - How many bars to check before and after the center bar (minimum value: 2)
2. Maximum Stored Fractals (default: 1) - How many fractal levels to keep in memory. Older levels are removed when this limit is reached to prevent excessive signals and maintain indicator performance.
Important Notes:
• The indicator checks the actual HIGH and LOW prices of each bar, not just closing prices
• Fractal levels are automatically removed after generating a signal to prevent repeated triggers
• Signals are only generated on bar close to avoid false triggers
• Alerts include the ticker symbol and the exact price level where the sweep occurred
Common Use Cases:
• Identifying potential reversal points
• Finding stop-hunt levels where price might reverse
• Setting stop-loss levels above up fractals or below down fractals
• Trading failed breakouts/breakdowns at fractal levels
RSI and Dev Advanced Volatility IndexEnglish Explanation of the "RSI and Dev Advanced Volatility Index" Pine Script Code
Understanding the Code
Purpose:
This Pine Script code creates a custom indicator that combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Deviation (DEV) to provide insights into market volatility.
Key Components:
* Deviation (DEV): Calculates the difference between the closing price and the 10-period simple moving average. This measures the extent to which the price deviates from its recent average, indicating volatility.
* RSI: The traditional RSI is then applied to the calculated deviations. This helps to smooth the data and identify overbought or oversold conditions in terms of volatility.
Calculation Steps:
* Deviation Calculation: The difference between the closing price and its 10-period simple moving average is calculated.
* RSI Calculation: The RSI is calculated on the deviations, providing a measure of the speed and change of volatility relative to recent volatility changes.
* Plotting:
* The RSI of the deviations is plotted on the chart.
* Horizontal lines are plotted at 50, 0, and 110 to visually represent different volatility zones.
* The area between the lines is filled with color to highlight low and high volatility regions.
Interpretation and Usage
* Volatility Analysis:
* High Volatility: When the RSI is above 50, it indicates high volatility, suggesting the market might be in a consolidation or trend reversal phase.
* Low Volatility: When the RSI is below 50, it indicates low volatility, suggesting a relatively calm market.
* Trading Signals:
* Buy Signal: When the RSI crosses above 50 from below, it might signal increasing volatility, which could be a buying opportunity.
* Sell Signal: When the RSI crosses below 50 from above, it might signal decreasing volatility, which could be a selling opportunity.
* Risk Management:
* By monitoring volatility, traders can better manage their risk. During periods of high volatility, traders might reduce their position size or adopt more conservative strategies.
Advantages
* Comprehensive: Combines RSI and DEV for a more holistic view of volatility.
* Sensitivity: Quickly responds to changes in market volatility.
* Visual Clarity: Color-coded zones provide a clear visual representation of different volatility levels.
Limitations
* Parameter Sensitivity: The indicator's performance is sensitive to parameter changes, such as the lookback period for the moving average.
* Lag: Like most technical indicators, it has some lag and might not capture every market movement.
* Not Predictive: It can only indicate current and past volatility, not future movements.
Summary
This custom indicator offers a valuable tool for analyzing market volatility. By combining RSI and DEV, it provides a more nuanced perspective on price fluctuations. However, it should be used in conjunction with other technical indicators and fundamental analysis for more robust trading decisions.
Key points to remember:
* Higher RSI values indicate higher volatility.
* Lower RSI values indicate lower volatility.
* Crossovers of the RSI line above or below 50 can provide potential trading signals.
* The indicator should be used in conjunction with other analysis tools for a more complete picture of the market.
