Filtered Fractals (2-Stage + Alerts)Filtered Fractals
Overview
This indicator is an advanced evolution of the classic Fractal logic (like the WICK.ED or Bill Williams models). Standard fractals are often "noisy," marking every minor local peak or trough, which can lead to false signals in volatile markets.
This script solves the "noise" problem by introducing a Dual-Stage Filtering Process. Instead of displaying every fractal, it treats them as "candidates" and only confirms those that represent a dominant extremum relative to their neighboring fractals.
How It Works
The script operates in two distinct stages to ensure only the most significant structural pivot points are plotted:
Stage 1: Detection
The script identifies "Raw Fractals" based on your preferred sensitivity (Left/Right bars). By default, it uses a 5-bar lookback/lookforward, but these remain hidden from the chart initially.
Stage 2: Sliding Window Competition
The script monitors a rolling sequence of the last three identified fractals. It compares their prices to find the "True Extremum":
For Highs , it compares the 3 most recent fractal peaks.
For Lows , it compares the 3 most recent fractal troughs.
The Point System: Every time a fractal is the "winner" (the highest high or lowest low) within its 3-fractal window, it receives a confirmation point.
The Priority Rule: In cases where two fractals have the exact same price, the script gives priority to the earlier one (the "left" peak), reducing late entries.
Visual Confirmation
A fractal is only plotted on your chart once it achieves two confirmations . This means it has proven to be a significant price extreme compared to both its predecessor and its successor.
Key Features
Noise Reduction: Eliminates "crowded" fractals, leaving only the structural backbone of the trend.
Non-Repainting Logic: The script only processes confirmed closed bars. The current developing candle will never trigger a false fractal or a premature alert.
Smart Alerts: Built-in alert() functionality. You can set a single alert to notify you the exact moment a Bullish or Bearish fractal is confirmed.
Customizable Sensitivity: Adjust the Left/Right Bars in the settings to fit your specific timeframe (e.g., higher values for macro trends, lower for scalping).
How to use
Support/Resistance: Use these filtered fractals to draw more reliable S/R zones.
Stop Loss Placement: Ideal for trailing stops behind truly significant swing points.
Trend Confirmation: A series of higher-high filtered fractals provides a much cleaner view of an uptrend than standard indicators.

FractalMod for TV with breakout alertsFractalsMod (MT4 → Pine) is a TradingView indicator converted from a custom MT4 (MQL4) fractal indicator.
This script replicates the behavior of the original MT4 version as closely as possible, including:
Confirmation-based fractals using left/right bar logic
Persistent horizontal levels derived from confirmed fractals
MT4-style “buffer-like” behavior using segmented horizontal lines
Key Features
MT4-compatible fractal logic
Uses leftbars and rightbars to confirm fractal highs/lows, equivalent to MT4 custom fractal indicators.
Segmented horizontal lines (MT4 buffer style)
Each confirmed fractal starts a new horizontal line segment from the original pivot bar.
When a new fractal is confirmed, the previous segment is stopped at the new pivot point, closely mimicking MT4 indicator buffers.
Latest fractal tracking
The most recently confirmed Up/Down fractal levels are tracked internally and used for breakout detection.
Breakout alerts (not confirmation alerts)
Alerts are triggered when the current price breaks above the latest Up fractal or below the latest Down fractal.
Breakout detection can be configured to use:
Close price only (confirmation-based), or
High/Low including wicks.
Clean visual control
Single arrow per confirmed fractal (no duplicate markers)
Optional display of fractal markers and horizontal lines
Custom colors and line width for Up/Down fractals
Typical Use Cases
Fractal-based support / resistance visualization
Breakout trading using the most recent confirmed fractal levels
MT4 → TradingView workflow migration while preserving indicator behavior
This script is designed for traders familiar with MT4 fractal indicators who want a faithful and practical TradingView equivalent without repainting on confirmed signals.

HaP Williams %R Pro+This indicator combines the classic Williams %R (Percent Range) oscillator with multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis, allowing you to visualize the general market direction on a single chart. Thanks to its advanced dashboard feature, you can instantly monitor overbought/oversold conditions across all periods, ranging from the 1-minute chart to the 1-month chart.
With the AVG F feature added to the table, short-term price movements and momentum changes (specifically for Scalping) can be detected much faster.
🚀 Key Features
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Support: Simultaneously calculates Williams %R values for 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly periods.
Smart Dashboard: The table located in the corner of the screen displays values and color codes for all timeframes.
AVG S (Slow Average): This is the average of 5m, 15m, 30m, and 1h data. It indicates the general trend direction.
AVG F (Fast Average) : This is the average of 1m, 5m, and 15m data. It is used for instant momentum and scalping entries.
Signal Smoothing: Williams %R data is smoothed with a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to reduce market noise.
Dynamic Coloring: Colors on the dashboard and chart automatically change according to the strength of the trend.
🎨 Color Codes and Meanings
The dashboard and chart lines are colored according to the following logic:
🟢 Bright Green (Lime): If the value is above -20. This is the "Overbought" zone, but it indicates a strong Bullish trend. Momentum is very high.
🌿 Dark Green: If the value is between -20 and -50. The market is in the positive zone; the upward tendency continues.
🔴 Red: If the value is between -50 and -80. The market is in the negative zone; the downward tendency dominates.
🛑 Bright Red: If the value is below -80. This is the "Oversold" zone. Momentum is very low, and the Bearish trend is strong.
💡 How to Use? (Strategy Suggestions)
General Trend Tracking: Look at the AVG S (Slow Average) column in the dashboard. If it is green, the general direction is up; if red, it is down.
Scalp Trades: The AVG F (Fast Average) column is ideal for catching short-term reversals. Entry reliability increases when the AVG F color aligns with AVG S.
Crossovers: Crossovers between the Fast Average (Red Line) and Slow Average (Black Line) on the chart can signal potential trend changes.
Dashboard Harmony: If all boxes (or the vast majority) in the dashboard are the same color (e.g., all green), it indicates a very strong trend in that direction. You should avoid opening positions in the opposite direction.
⚙️ Settings
Williams %R Period: Default is 14; you can change it according to your strategy.
Dashboard Position: You can move the dashboard to the top-right, bottom-right, or bottom-left corner of the screen.
Show Lines: If you want to prevent chart clutter, you can toggle off the lines and use only the dashboard.
Disclaimer: This indicator is a support tool and does not contain definitive buy/sell signals. You should make your investment decisions based on your own analysis and risk management.
Williams Volatility Channel (Full Range Breakout)Overview
This indicator implements a volatility breakout system inspired by legendary trader Larry Williams. It plots daily breakout levels calculated as the previous day’s close ± the full previous day’s range (high – low). These levels act as extreme volatility expansion thresholds:
- Upper Level: Previous close + previous day’s range
- Lower Level: Previous close – previous day’s range
A price move beyond these levels signals a strong directional breakout driven by expanded volatility — a classic Larry Williams concept for identifying potential trend continuation or acceleration days.
This version uses the full prior range (multiplier = 1.0), making it more aggressive than Williams’ original examples (which often used smaller fractions like 0.25–0.5 × range). It is particularly useful on instruments with clear daily sessions and visible overnight gaps or volatility spikes.
Key Features
Daily breakout levels plotted as horizontal lines that update at the start of each new trading day.
Optional semi-transparent fill between upper and lower levels for better visual channel perception.
Subtle background shading on the first bar of each new day and new week for easier time orientation.
Configurable colors and visibility toggles.
Generic session duration input (informational only) to help estimate candles per day on non-standard markets (e.g., European indices ≈ 8.5h, US stocks ≈ 6.5h, crypto ≈ 24h).
How to Use the Indicator
Breakout Signals
Bullish Breakout: Price closes or sustains above the Upper Level → potential strong upward momentum. Consider long entries or adding to existing longs.
Bearish Breakout: Price closes or sustains below the Lower Level → potential strong downward momentum. Consider short entries or adding to existing shorts.
These breakouts often occur on news events, earnings, or when the market “wakes up” after low-volatility periods.
Trend Confirmation
Use the direction of the breakout to confirm the prevailing trend: In an uptrend, focus primarily on upside breakouts.
In a downtrend, focus primarily on downside breakouts.
Breakouts against the trend can signal potential reversals (use with caution and additional confirmation).
Support & Resistance
Once price has broken a level, that level often flips role: A broken Upper Level can act as support on pullbacks.
A broken Lower Level can act as resistance on bounces.
Risk Management
Place stops beyond the opposite level or use ATR-based stops.
Consider partial profit-taking at 1× or 2× the prior day’s range from entry.
Best Markets & Timeframes
Works well on: Stock indices (DAX, FTSE MIB, CAC, S&P 500 futures, etc.)
Individual stocks
Commodities and futures with defined daily sessions
Cryptocurrencies (adjust session hours to 24 for continuous markets)
Recommended intraday timeframes: 5–60 minutes. On higher timeframes (4H, daily), the levels still appear but are less frequently tested intraday.
Important Notes
This is a trend-following / momentum tool, not a mean-reversion or gap-fading strategy (unlike Larry Williams’ famous “OOPS” pattern).
False breakouts can occur in low-volatility or ranging markets — always use additional confluence (volume, trend filters, higher-timeframe context).
The session duration input is informational and allows definition of how many candles per day should be used in the calculation.
This indicator provides a clean, visually intuitive way to spot high-volatility breakout opportunities based on one of Larry Williams’ timeless volatility concepts. Add it to your charts and combine it with your existing trading system for enhanced entry timing on strong momentum days.
Williams %RDescription
This is a modified version of the classic Williams %R oscillator, adapted for markets with defined trading sessions (e.g., FTSEMIB, DAX, US stocks, etc.). It adjusts the lookback period based on the actual trading session length, making it more accurate on intraday timeframes.
Key Features
Session Adjustment:
Automatically scales the period to trading days (default: 8.5 hours for FTSEMIB, DAX, CAC; customizable for any market).
Formula (classic Williams %R):
%R = 100 × (Close - Highest High) / (Highest High - Lowest Low)
over a user-defined period (default 14 days).
Standard Levels:
-20 (overbought)
-50 (middle line)
-80 (oversold)
Visual Enhancements:
- Customizable colors for the line, levels, and background fill
- Shaded overbought/oversold zone
How to Use:
Overbought (above -20):
Potential sell signal or reversal (especially after a prolonged uptrend).
Oversold (below -80):
Potential buy signal or reversal (especially after a downtrend).
Divergences:
Look for bullish/bearish divergences between price and %R for early reversal warnings.
Best Markets:
Indices (FTSEMIB, DAX, SPX), stocks, futures. For 24/7 markets (crypto), set session duration to 24 hours.
Timeframes:
Works on intraday (15m, 1h, etc.) and daily charts.
Customization Tips:
- Adjust the period (shorter = more sensitive, longer = smoother).
- Change session duration for different markets.
- Customize colors to match your chart theme.
Note: Williams %R is a momentum oscillator and should be used in combination with other tools (trendlines, support/resistance, volume). Always practice proper risk management.
Squeeze Go Momentum Pro [KingThies] █ OVERVIEW
The Squeeze Momentum Pro indicator identifies volatility compression phases and breakout opportunities by comparing Bollinger Bands to Keltner Channels. When price consolidates (squeeze), the bands contract inside the channels, signaling an imminent breakout. The momentum histogram shows directional bias, helping traders anticipate which way price will move when the squeeze releases.
This indicator displays in a separate panel below the price chart, providing clear visual signals without cluttering price action.
█ KEY FEATURES
Momentum Histogram
The histogram is the primary visual element, displaying momentum strength and direction with four distinct color states:
• Dark Green (#00C853) — Strong bullish momentum that is increasing. This signals strengthening upward pressure and potential continuation.
• Light Green (#26A69A) — Bullish momentum that is decreasing. Price remains in bullish territory but upward force is weakening.
• Dark Red (#D32F2F) — Strong bearish momentum that is increasing. This signals strengthening downward pressure and potential continuation.
• Light Red (#EF5350) — Bearish momentum that is decreasing. Price remains in bearish territory but downward force is weakening.
The color intensity provides immediate feedback on momentum strength and trend health.
Squeeze State Indicator
Colored dots on the zero line communicate the current volatility state:
• Orange Dots — Squeeze is ON. Bollinger Bands have contracted inside Keltner Channels, indicating consolidation and low volatility.
A breakout is building and traders should prepare for directional movement.
• Green Dots — Squeeze is OFF. Bollinger Bands have expanded outside Keltner Channels, indicating active momentum and higher volatility.
Price is moving with conviction in the current direction.
• Gray Dots — Neutral state. The bands are transitioning between squeeze states.
Release Triangles
Triangle shapes mark the exact bar when a squeeze releases, providing precise entry timing:
• Green Triangle Up — Bullish squeeze release. The squeeze has ended with positive momentum, suggesting a long setup opportunity.
• Red Triangle Down — Bearish squeeze release. The squeeze has ended with negative momentum, suggesting a short setup opportunity.
Information Panel
A compact dashboard in the top-right corner displays real-time trading intelligence:
• Squeeze Status — Current state: ON, OFF, or NEUTRAL with color coding
• Momentum Direction — Current bias: BULL or BEAR
• Momentum Value — Precise numerical reading of momentum strength
• Trading Signal — Actionable status: LONG SETUP, SHORT SETUP, WAIT, or MONITOR
Configurable Parameters
All calculation inputs are adjustable to match your trading style and timeframe:
• BB Length — Bollinger Bands period (default: 20)
• BB StdDev — Bollinger Bands standard deviation multiplier (default: 2.0)
• KC Length — Keltner Channels period (default: 20)
• KC ATR Multiplier — Keltner Channels range multiplier (default: 1.5)
• Momentum Length — Linear regression period for momentum calculation (default: 20)
Alert System
Four alert conditions notify you of critical trading opportunities:
• Bullish Squeeze Release — Squeeze has released with bullish momentum, indicating a potential long entry
• Bearish Squeeze Release — Squeeze has released with bearish momentum, indicating a potential short entry
• Squeeze Started — Volatility compression detected, prepare for upcoming breakout
• Squeeze Ended — Volatility expansion confirmed, breakout is active
█ TRADING METHODOLOGY
The indicator follows a clear four-step process for identifying and trading squeeze breakouts:
1 - Wait for Orange Dots . When orange dots appear on the zero line, a squeeze is building. This indicates price consolidation and declining volatility.
Do not enter trades during this phase. Instead, prepare by identifying key support and resistance levels and potential breakout directions.
2 - Watch for Release Triangle . When a triangle appears, the squeeze has released and a breakout is beginning. This is your entry signal.
The triangle color (green up or red down) combined with the histogram direction indicates the breakout direction.
3 - Confirm with Histogram Direction . Check the momentum histogram for directional confirmation:
• Green histogram + green triangle up = Go long. Bullish momentum supports upward breakout.
• Red histogram + red triangle down = Go short. Bearish momentum supports downward breakout.
4 - Monitor Momentum Intensity . Stay in the trade while histogram bars maintain their dark, intense color.
When colors lighten (dark green to light green, or dark red to light red), momentum is weakening and you should consider taking profits or tightening stops.
█ INTERPRETATION GUIDE
Squeeze Detection Logic
A squeeze occurs when Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels. This happens when:
• Standard deviation of price decreases (BB narrows)
• Price consolidates within a tight range
• Volatility compresses to unsustainable levels
The orange dots signal this condition, warning traders that explosive movement is imminent.
Squeeze Release Logic
A squeeze releases when Bollinger Bands expand outside Keltner Channels. This happens when:
• Price volatility increases sharply
• Price breaks out of consolidation
• Volume typically expands (check volume separately)
The green dots and release triangles signal this condition, indicating the direction and timing of the breakout.
Momentum Reading
The histogram uses linear regression to calculate momentum relative to the midpoint of the recent range:
• Above Zero : Price is trading above the range midpoint with bullish pressure
• Below Zero : Price is trading below the range midpoint with bearish pressure
• Increasing Bars : Momentum is strengthening in the current direction (darker color)
• Decreasing Bars : Momentum is weakening in the current direction (lighter color)
█ BEST PRACTICES
• Timeframe Selection — The indicator works on all timeframes but performs best on 15-minute to daily charts.
Lower timeframes may produce more false signals due to noise.
• Confluence Trading — Combine squeeze releases with support/resistance levels, trend lines, or other indicators for higher probability setups.
• Volume Confirmation — Check that squeeze releases occur with increasing volume. Low volume breakouts are more likely to fail.
• Multiple Timeframe Analysis — Check higher timeframes for overall trend direction. Trade squeeze releases that align with the larger trend.
• Parameter Adjustment — Increase BB and KC lengths for smoother signals on higher timeframes. Decrease for more sensitive signals on lower timeframes.
█ LIMITATIONS
• The indicator does not predict breakout direction before the squeeze releases. The momentum histogram provides bias but is not definitive until the breakout occurs.
• False breakouts can occur, particularly in choppy or low-volume market conditions. Always use proper risk management and stop losses.
• The indicator works best in trending markets. In deeply ranging markets with no clear direction, squeeze signals may be less reliable.
• Momentum calculations use linear regression which can lag during extremely fast price movements. Confirm signals with price action.
█ NOTES
This implementation uses linear regression for momentum calculation rather than simple moving averages, providing more responsive and accurate directional signals. The four-color histogram system gives traders nuanced feedback on momentum strength that binary color schemes cannot provide.
The indicator automatically adjusts to any symbol and timeframe without modification, making it suitable for stocks, forex, crypto, and futures markets.

Tristan's Devil Mark (Short / Long, with W%R)The Devil’s Mark indicator is a visual tool designed to help traders identify potential short and long opportunities based on candle structure and market momentum. It combines price action analysis with the Williams %R (W%R) oscillator to highlight candles with high potential for reversal or continuation.
Can be used on any timeline, from scalping day trades to swing trades on daily and higher timelines. Know that the higher the timeline the less likely the indicator will show. (Asia and London sessions tend to show many indicators. I find this more useful for NY session.)
How the script works
Candle Structure Conditions
Short (Sell) Wedge: Plotted above green candles that have no bottom wick, indicating that inside that candle there was strong upward momentum without downside hesitation .
Long (Buy) Wedge: Plotted below red candles that have no top wick, indicating that inside that candle there was strong downward momentum without upside hesitation .
These candles are visually emphasized as wedges to mark potential turning points.
Williams %R Filter
The indicator uses Williams %R to measure overbought and oversold conditions:
Proximity to 0 (nearZeroThresh): Determines how close W%R must be to 0 (overbought) to trigger a Sell Wedge. This acts as a “Sell sensitivity” filter.
Proximity to -100 (nearHundredThresh): Determines how close W%R must be to -100 (oversold) to trigger a Buy Wedge. This acts as a “Buy sensitivity” filter.
When the candle meets both the candle structure and the W%R condition, the wedge is plotted in purple (“Within W%R Range”).
When the "ignore W%R filter" toggle is on, all eligible candles are plotted regardless of W%R. Wedges that normally would not meet W%R criteria are plotted in light purple (“Outside W%R Range”) to distinguish them. #YOLO (🚫 I recommend leaving "Ignore W%R Filter" OFF)
Settings Explained
Williams %R Length: The number of bars used to calculate the W%R oscillator. Shorter lengths make it more sensitive; longer lengths smooth the readings.
Proximity to 0 / 100: Controls how “strict” the indicator is in requiring overbought or oversold W%R conditions to trigger. Lower values mean closer to extreme zones, higher values are more permissive.
Ignore W%R Toggle: Option to show Devil’s Marks on every eligible candle regardless of W%R. Useful for visualizing purely price-action-based signals.
What the trader sees
Purple wedges: Candles meeting both candle structure and W%R conditions.
Light purple wedges: Candles meeting candle structure but ignored W%R (when toggle is on). #YOLO (🚫 I recommend leaving "Ignore W%R Filter" OFF)
Short opportunities are wedges above bars (green candles with no bottom wick).
Long opportunities are wedges below bars (red candles with no top wick).
Trading Insight
The Devil’s Mark is a momentum and reversal alert tool:
Look for purple downward-pointing wedges when W%R is near overbought. This is a potential shorting opportunity. Buying at the close of that candle may improve your short trades.
Look for purple upward-pointing wedges when W%R is near oversold. This is a potential
long opportunity. Buying at the close of that candle may improve your long trades.
Light purple wedges show the same price-action cues without W%R confirmation—useful for aggressive traders who want every potential setup. #YOLO #YMMV #noFullPort
Settings / Security
The “Output values” checkbox appears for each plotted series (like a plot or plotshape) and controls whether the series will also be exposed numerically in the Data Window or used by other indicators/scripts.
Here’s what it means in practice:
1. Checked (true)
The series values (like candle high, low, or any computed value) are exported to the Data Window and can be read by other scripts using request.security() or ta functions.
Example: You can see the exact numerical value of each plotted point in the Data Window when you hover over the chart.
Useful if you want to backtest or reference these plotted values programmatically.
2. Unchecked (false)
The series is plotted visually only.
The numeric values are hidden from the Data Window and cannot be accessed by other scripts.
Makes the chart cleaner if you don’t need the numeric outputs.
BanditExperimental %R and Moving Average Bands. This is just for fun :)
Comment below if you spot a good pattern to trade.
VIX BanditThis is a momentum indicator that identifies potential VIX bottoms by using seven configurable Williams %R oscillators simultaneously.
Green dots🟢appear below the bar when all %R series agree the VIX is extremely oversold.
Fuchsia dots🟣appear above the bar when VIX reverts to its long-term average (an EMA).
I hope this helps you spot moments of maximum optimism and trade the subsequent panic, somehow.

Williams VIX For Bottoms [DCD]Williams VIX Original - Authentic Volatility Fear Gauge
What This Indicator Does
The Williams VIX Fix measures market fear by calculating how far current lows deviate from recent highs, identifying potential market bottoms during high volatility periods. This implementation provides Larry Williams' original formula in its purest form.
How It Works
Core Formula:
VIX Fix = ((Highest High over 22 periods - Current Low) / Highest High over 22 periods) × 100
The calculation process:
Measures Relative Distance: Compares current low to highest high over lookback period
Converts to Percentage: Normalizes values for cross-market comparison
Applies Statistical Analysis: Uses Bollinger Bands (2 std dev) around VIX Fix values
Filters with Percentiles: 85th percentile threshold removes noise
Signal Generation
Green Flash Signals trigger when either condition is met:
VIX Fix exceeds upper Bollinger Band (2 standard deviations above 20-period MA)
VIX Fix exceeds Range High (85th percentile of recent values)
This dual-condition approach reduces false signals while capturing genuine volatility spikes.
What Makes This Original
Pure Formula Implementation: Uses Williams' exact original calculation without modifications
Dual Confirmation System: Combines Bollinger Bands with percentile analysis
Professional Visualization: Histogram display, background highlighting, and live value table
Comprehensive Alerts: Signal start/end notifications plus Green Flash alerts
How to Use
Primary Purpose: Spot high-probability reversal zones during market fear climaxes
Signal Interpretation:
Green triangle + background highlight = High volatility reversal zone
Higher VIX Fix values = Stronger fear/better reversal potential
Use with price action confirmation for best results
Optimal Settings:
Timeframes: 4H, Daily, Weekly
Markets: All (stocks, crypto, forex, commodities)
Combine with support levels and candlestick patterns
Key Parameters:
VIX Fix Length (22): Lookback period for highest high
Std Dev Multiplier (2.0): Bollinger Band sensitivity
Percentile High (0.85): Only top 15% of readings trigger signals
The VIX Fix excels at identifying market fear climaxes that coincide with significant price bottoms, making it valuable for swing traders seeking high-probability entries during market stress.
Mandelbrot-Fibonacci Cascade Vortex (MFCV)Mandelbrot-Fibonacci Cascade Vortex (MFCV) - Where Chaos Theory Meets Sacred Geometry
A Revolutionary Synthesis of Fractal Mathematics and Golden Ratio Dynamics
What began as an exploration into Benoit Mandelbrot's fractal market hypothesis and the mysterious appearance of Fibonacci sequences in nature has culminated in a groundbreaking indicator that reveals the hidden mathematical structure underlying market movements. This indicator represents months of research into chaos theory, fractal geometry, and the golden ratio's manifestation in financial markets.
The Theoretical Foundation
Mandelbrot's Fractal Market Hypothesis Traditional efficient market theory assumes normal distributions and random walks. Mandelbrot proved markets are fractal - self-similar patterns repeating across all timeframes with power-law distributions. The MFCV implements this through:
Hurst Exponent Calculation: H = log(R/S) / log(n/2)
Where:
R = Range of cumulative deviations
S = Standard deviation
n = Period length
This measures market memory:
H > 0.5: Trending (persistent) behavior
H = 0.5: Random walk
H < 0.5: Mean-reverting (anti-persistent) behavior
Fractal Dimension: D = 2 - H
This quantifies market complexity, where higher dimensions indicate more chaotic behavior.
Fibonacci Vortex Theory Markets don't move linearly - they spiral. The MFCV reveals these spirals using Fibonacci sequences:
Vortex Calculation: Vortex(n) = Price + sin(bar_index × φ / Fn) × ATR(Fn) × Volume_Factor
Where:
φ = 0.618 (golden ratio)
Fn = Fibonacci number (8, 13, 21, 34, 55)
Volume_Factor = 1 + (Volume/SMA(Volume,50) - 1) × 0.5
This creates oscillating spirals that contract and expand with market energy.
The Volatility Cascade System
Markets exhibit volatility clustering - Mandelbrot's "Noah Effect." The MFCV captures this through cascading volatility bands:
Cascade Level Calculation: Level(i) = ATR(20) × φ^i
Each level represents a different fractal scale, creating a multi-dimensional view of market structure. The golden ratio spacing ensures harmonic resonance between levels.
Implementation Architecture
Core Components:
Fractal Analysis Engine

Signal Generation Logic
The MFCV generates two primary signal types:
Fractal Signals: Generated when:
Hurst > 0.65 (strong trend) AND volatility expanding
Hurst < 0.35 (mean reversion) AND RSI < 35
Trend strength > 0.4 AND vortex alignment
Cascade Signals: Triggered by:
RSI > 60 AND price > SMA(50) AND bearish vortex
RSI < 40 AND price < SMA(50) AND bullish vortex
Volatility expansion AND trend strength > 0.3
Both signals implement a 15-bar cooldown to prevent overtrading.

True Seasonal Pattern [tradeviZion]True Seasonal Pattern: Uncover Hidden Market Cycles
Markets have rhythms and patterns that repeat with surprising regularity. The True Seasonal Pattern indicator reveals these hidden cycles across different timeframes, helping you anticipate potential market movements based on historical seasonal tendencies.
What This Indicator Does
The True Seasonal Pattern analyzes years of historical price data to identify recurring seasonal trends. It then plots these patterns on your chart, showing you both the historical pattern and future projection based on past seasonal behavior.
Automatic Timeframe Detection: Works with Monthly, Weekly, and Daily charts
Historical Pattern Analysis: Analyzes up to 100 years of data (customizable)
Future Projection: Projects the seasonal pattern ahead on your chart
Smart Smoothing: Applies appropriate smoothing based on your timeframe
How to Use This Indicator
Add the indicator to a Daily, Weekly, or Monthly chart (not designed for intraday timeframes)
The indicator automatically detects your chart's timeframe
The blue line shows the historical seasonal pattern
Watch for potential turning points in the pattern that align with other technical signals
Seasonal patterns work best as a supporting factor in your analysis, not as standalone trading signals. They are particularly effective in markets with well-established seasonal influences.
Best Applications
Futures Markets: Commodities and futures often show strong seasonal tendencies due to production cycles, weather patterns, and economic factors
Stock Indices: Many stock markets demonstrate regular seasonal patterns (like the "Sell in May" phenomenon)
Individual Stocks: Companies with seasonal business cycles often show predictable price patterns
Practical Applications
Identify potential turning points based on historical seasonal patterns
Plan entries and exits around seasonal tendencies
Add seasonal context to your existing technical analysis
Understand why certain months or periods might show consistent behavior
Pro Tip: For best results, use this tool on instruments with at least 5+ years of historical data. Longer timeframes often reveal more reliable seasonal patterns.
Important Notes
This indicator works best on Daily, Weekly, and Monthly timeframes - not intraday charts
Seasonal patterns are tendencies, not guarantees
Always combine seasonal analysis with other technical tools
Past patterns may not repeat exactly in the future
// Sample of the seasonal calculation approach
float yearHigh = array.max(currentYearHighs)
float yearLow = array.min(currentYearLows)
// Calculate seasonality for each period
for i = 0 to array.size(currentYearCloses) - 1
float periodClose = array.get(currentYearCloses, i)
if not na(periodClose) and yearHigh != yearLow
float seasonality = (periodClose - yearLow) / (yearHigh - yearLow) * 100
I developed this indicator to help traders incorporate seasonal analysis into their trading approach without the complexity of traditional seasonal tools. Whether you're analyzing agricultural commodities, energy futures, or stock indices, understanding the seasonal context can provide valuable insights for your trading decisions.
Remember: Markets don't always follow seasonal patterns, but when they do, being aware of these tendencies can give you a meaningful edge in your analysis.
EMA Pullback & Trend Indicator MyraxesEMA Pullback & Trend Indicator by Max Retri
Plots five EMAs—9, 15, 30, 65 and 200—and draws clean, easy-to-interpret signals when the fast EMAs cross in the direction of the longer-term trend. No other indicators or overlays are required; simply add it to your chart and watch for the arrows and crosses.
⸻

Williams Fractals Ultimate (Donchian Adjusted)Williams Fractals Ultimate (Donchian Adjusted)
Understanding Williams Fractals
Williams Fractals are a simple yet powerful tool used to identify potential turning points in the market. They highlight local highs (up fractals) and local lows (down fractals) based on a set period.
An up fractal appears when a price peak is higher than the surrounding prices.
A down fractal appears when a price low is lower than the surrounding prices.
Fractals help traders spot support and resistance levels, potential trend reversals, and price breakout zones.
Why Adjust Fractals with the Donchian Channel?
The standard Williams Fractals method identifies local highs and lows without considering broader market context. This script enhances fractal accuracy by integrating the Donchian Channel, which tracks the highest highs and lowest lows over a set period.
- The Donchian Baseline is calculated as the average of the highest high and lowest low over a selected period.
- Fractals are filtered based on this baseline:
Up Fractals are only shown if they are above the Donchian baseline.
Down Fractals are only shown if they are below the Donchian baseline.
This filtering method removes weak signals and ensures that only relevant fractals aligned with market structure are displayed.
Key Features of the Script
Customizable Fractal & Donchian Periods – Allows traders to fine-tune fractal sensitivity.
Donchian-Based Filtering – Reduces noise and highlights meaningful fractals.
Fractal ZigZag Line (Optional) – Helps visualize price swings more clearly.
Why Is This So Effective?
Stronger trend signals – Filtering with the Donchian baseline eliminates unreliable fractals.
Clearer price action – The optional ZigZag line visually connects significant highs and lows.
Easy trend identification – Helps traders confirm breakout zones and key price levels.
This script is a technical analysis tool and does not guarantee profitable trades. Always combine it with other indicators and risk management strategies before making trading decisions.
Volatility-Enhanced Williams %R [AIBitcoinTrend]👽 Volatility-Enhanced Williams %R (AIBitcoinTrend)
The Volatility-Enhanced Williams %R takes the classic Williams %R oscillator to the next level by incorporating volatility-adaptive smoothing, making it significantly more responsive to market dynamics. Unlike the traditional version, which uses a fixed calculation method, this indicator dynamically adjusts its smoothing factor based on market volatility, helping traders capture trends more effectively while filtering out noise.
Additionally, the indicator includes real-time divergence detection and an ATR-based trailing stop system, providing traders with enhanced risk management tools and early reversal signals.
👽 What Makes the Volatility-Enhanced Williams %R Unique?
Unlike the standard Williams %R, which applies a simple lookback-based formula, this version integrates adaptive smoothing and volatility-based filtering to refine its signals and reduce false breakouts.
✅ Volatility-Adaptive Smoothing – Adjusts dynamically based on standard deviation, enhancing signal accuracy.
✅ Real-Time Divergence Detection – Identifies bullish and bearish divergences for early trend reversal signals.
✅ Crossovers & Trailing Stops – Implements Williams %R crossovers with ATR-based trailing stops for intelligent trade management.
👽 The Math Behind the Indicator
👾 Volatility-Adaptive Smoothing
The indicator smooths the Williams %R calculation by applying an adaptive filtering mechanism, which adjusts its responsiveness based on market conditions. This helps to eliminate whipsaws and makes trend-following strategies more reliable.
The smoothing function is defined as:
clamp(x, lo, hi) => math.min(math.max(x, lo), hi)
adaptive(src, prev, len, divisor, minAlpha, maxAlpha) =>
vol = ta.stdev(src, len)
alpha = clamp(vol / divisor, minAlpha, maxAlpha)
prev + alpha * (src - prev)
Where:
Volatility Factor (vol) measures price dispersion using standard deviation.
Adaptive Alpha (alpha) dynamically adjusts smoothing strength.
Clamped Output ensures that the smoothing factor remains within a stable range.
👽 How Traders Can Use This Indicator
👾 Divergence Trading Strategy
Bullish Divergence Setup:
Price makes a lower low, while Williams %R forms a higher low.
Buy signal is confirmed when Williams %R reverses upward.
Bearish Divergence Setup:
Price makes a higher high, while Williams %R forms a lower high.
Sell signal is confirmed when Williams %R reverses downward.
👾 Trailing Stop & Signal-Based Trading

Explanation of Williams VIX Fix (WVF)
The Williams VIX Fix (WVF) is a volatility indicator designed to replicate the behavior of the VIX (Volatility Index) using price data instead of options prices. It helps traders identify market bottoms and volatility spikes.
Key Aspects of WVF:
Calculation:
The WVF measures the highest high over a specified period (typically 22 days) and compares it to the current closing price.
It is calculated as:
WVF
=
highest high over period
−
current close
highest high over period
×
100
This formula provides a percentage measure of how far the price has fallen from its recent high.
Interpretation:
High WVF Values: Indicate increased volatility and potential market bottoms, suggesting oversold conditions.
Low WVF Values: Suggest lower volatility and potentially overbought conditions.
Usage:
WVF can be used in conjunction with other indicators (e.g., moving averages, RSI) to confirm signals.
It is particularly useful for identifying periods of significant price declines and potential reversals.
In the script, the WVF concept is incorporated into the drawdown levels, providing a visual representation of how far the price has fallen from its 22-day high.
Example Use Cases:
Risk Management: Quickly identify significant drawdown levels to assess the risk of current positions.
Volatility Monitoring: Use the WVF-based drawdown levels to gauge market volatility.
Support Levels: Utilize drawdown levels as potential support levels where price might find buying interest.
This script offers traders and analysts an efficient way to visualize and track important drawdown levels from recent highs, helping in better risk management and decision-making. The dynamic color and label features enhance the readability and usability of the indicator.
Williams BBDiv Signal [trade_lexx]📈 Williams BBDiv Signal — Improve your trading strategy with accurate signals!
Introducing Williams BBDiv Signal , an advanced trading indicator designed for a comprehensive analysis of market conditions. This indicator combines Williams%R with Bollinger Bands, providing traders with a powerful tool for generating buy and sell signals, as well as detecting divergences. It is ideal for traders who need an advantage in detecting changing trends and market conditions.
🔍 How signals work
— A buy signal is generated when the Williams %R line crosses the lower Bollinger Bands band from bottom to top. This indicates that the market may be oversold and ready for a rebound. They are displayed as green triangles located under the Williams %R graph. On the main chart, buy signals are displayed as green triangles labeled "Buy" under candlesticks.
— A sell signal is generated when the Williams %R line crosses the upper Bollinger Bands band from top to bottom. This indicates that the market may be overbought and ready for a correction. They are displayed as red triangles located above the Williams %R chart. On the main chart, the sell signals are displayed as red triangles with the word "Sell" above the candlesticks.
— Minimum Bars Between Signals
The user can adjust the minimum number of bars between the signals to avoid false signals. This helps to filter out noise and improve signal quality.
— Mode "Wait for Opposite Signal"
In this mode, buy and sell signals are generated only after receiving the opposite signal. This adds an additional level of filtering and helps to avoid false alarms.
— Mode "Overbought and Oversold Zones"
A buy signal is generated only when Williams %R is below the -80 level (Lower Band). A sell signal is generated only when Williams %R is above -20 (Upper Band).
📊 Divergences
— Bullish divergence occurs when Williams%R shows a higher low while price shows a lower low. This indicates a possible upward reversal. They are displayed as green lines and labels labeled "Bull" on the Williams %R chart. On the main chart, bullish divergences are displayed as green triangles labeled "Bull" under candlesticks.
— A bearish divergence occurs when Williams %R shows a lower high, while the price shows a higher high. This indicates a possible downward reversal. They are displayed as red lines and labels labeled "Bear" on the Williams %R chart. On the main chart, bearish divergences are displayed as red triangles with the word "Bear" above the candlesticks.

Fractal Trend Detector [Skyrexio]Introduction
Fractal Trend Detector leverages the combination of Williams fractals and Alligator Indicator to help traders to understand with the high probability what is the current trend: bullish or bearish. It visualizes the potential uptrend with the coloring bars in green, downtrend - in red color. Indicator also contains two additional visualizations, the strong uptrend and downtrend as the green and red zones and the white line - trend invalidation level (more information in "Methodology and it's justification" paragraph)
Features
Optional strong up and downtrends visualization: with the specified parameter in settings user can add/hide the green and red zones of the strong up and downtrends.
Optional trend invalidation level visualization: with the specified parameter in settings user can add/hide the white line which shows the current trend invalidation price.
Alerts: user can set up the alert and have notifications when uptrend/downtrend has been started, strong uptrend/downtrend started.
Methodology and it's justification
In this script we apply the concept of trend given by Bill Williams in his book "Trading Chaos". This approach leverages the Alligator and Fractals in conjunction. Let's briefly explain these two components.
The Williams Alligator, created by Bill Williams, is a technical analysis tool used to identify trends and potential market reversals. It consists of three moving averages, called the jaw, teeth, and lips, which represent different time periods:
Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest line, showing a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars forward.
Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward.
Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward.
When the lines are spread apart and aligned, the "alligator" is "awake," indicating a strong trend. When the lines intertwine, the "alligator" is "sleeping," signaling a non-trending or range-bound market. This indicator helps traders identify when to enter or avoid trades.
Williams Fractals, introduced by Bill Williams, are a technical analysis tool used to identify potential reversal points on a price chart. A fractal is a series of at least five consecutive bars where the middle bar has the highest high (for a up fractal) or the lowest low (for a down fractal), compared to the two bars on either side.
Key Points:
Up fractal: Formed when the middle bar shows a higher high than the two preceding and two following bars, signaling a potential turning point downward.
Down fractal: Formed when the middle bar has a lower low than the two surrounding bars, indicating a potential upward reversal.
Fractals are often used with other indicators to confirm trend direction or reversal, helping traders make more informed trading decisions.
How we can use its combination? Let's explain the uptrend example. The up fractal breakout to the upside can be interpret as bullish sign, there is a high probability that uptrend has just been started. It can be explained as following: the up fractal created is the potential change in market's behavior. A lot of traders made a decision to sell and it created the pullback with the fractal at the top. But if price is able to reach the fractal's top and break it, this is a high probability sign that market "changed his opinion" and bullish trend has been started. The moment of breaking is the potential changing to the uptrend. Here is another one important point, this breakout shall happen above the Alligator's teeth line. If not, this crossover doesn't count and the downtrend potentially remaining. The inverted logic is true for the down fractals and downtrend.
According to this methodology we received the high probability up and downtrend changes, but we can even add it. If current trend established by the indicator as the uptrend and alligator's lines have the following order: lips is higher than teeth, teeth is higher than jaw, script count it as a strong uptrend and start print the green zone - zone between lips and jaw. It can be used as a high probability support of the current bull market. The inverted logic can be used for bearish trend and red zones: if lips is lower than teeth and teeth is lower than jaw it's interpreted by the indicator as a strong down trend.
Indicator also has the trend invalidation line (white line). If current bar is green and market condition is interpreted by the script as an uptrend you will see the invalidation line below current price. This is the price level which shall be crossed by the price to change up trend to down trend according to algorithm. This level is recalculated on every candle. The inverted logic is valid for downtrend.
How to use indicator
Apply it to desired chart and time frame. It works on every time frame.
Setup the settings with enabling/disabling visualization of strong up/downtrend zones and trend invalidation line. "Show Strong Bullish/Bearish Trends" and "Show Trend Invalidation Price" checkboxes in the settings. By default they are turned on.
Analyze the price action. Indicator colored candle in green if it's more likely that current state is uptrend, in red if downtrend has the high probability to be now. Green zones between two lines showing if current uptrend is likely to be strong. This zone can be used as a high probability support on the uptrend. The red zone show high probability of strong downtrend and can be used as a resistance. White line is showing the level where uptrend or downtrend is going be invalidated according to indicator's algorithm. If current bar is green invalidation line will be below the current price, if red - above the current price.
Set up the alerts if it's needed. Indicator has four custom alerts called "Uptrend has been started" when current bar closed as green and the previous was not green, "Downtrend has been started" when current bar closed red and the previous was not red, "Uptrend became strong" if script started printing the green zone "Downtrend became strong" if script started printing the red zone.
