Optimized WPR Strategy with Filters (Debug)Identifying Market Trends:
The 200-period EMA is used to determine the short-term trend of the market.
When the price is above the 200-period EMA, it suggests a potential bullish market and an uptrend, and the strategy will only look for buying opportunities.
When the price is below the 200-period EMA, it suggests a potential bearish market and a downtrend, and the strategy will only look for selling opportunities.
When the 200-period EMA intersects with the price, it indicates that the market may be in a directionless consolidation phase.
Identifying Potential Reversal Points:
The strategy employs two Williams %R (WPR) indicators: one with a 9-period (fast WPR) and another with a 28-period (slow WPR).
WPR is a momentum indicator used to identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market. Its value oscillates between -100 and 0, with values near -100 indicating oversold conditions and values near 0 indicating overbought conditions.
In an uptrend (when the price is above the 200 EMA), the strategy seeks buying opportunities when both WPR indicators cross above -80 (the oversold zone) from below. This is considered a bullish signal, suggesting the market may be about to rebound. Sell signals are ignored at this time.
In a downtrend (when the price is below the 200 EMA), the strategy seeks selling opportunities when both WPR indicators cross below -20 (the overbought zone) from above. This is considered a bearish signal, suggesting the market may be about to reverse downward. Buy signals are ignored at this time.
Summary:
In summary, this strategy first uses the 200-period EMA to determine the overall trend direction of the market. Then, within the confirmed trend direction, it utilizes the simultaneous crossing of the overbought or oversold zones by the dual WPR indicators to identify potential reversal points as entry signals for trading. The strategy emphasizes that trading signals are only valid when both WPR indicators meet the conditions.

TR FVG & Swing High Low FinderTR FVG & Swing Level Finder
Overview:
The TR FVG & Swing Level Finder is a powerful Pine Script indicator designed for traders who want to identify Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Swing Highs/Lows on their charts. This indicator combines two essential technical analysis tools into one, helping traders spot potential areas of support, resistance, and trend reversals. FVGs are price gaps that often act as areas of interest for price to return to, while swing highs and lows help identify key turning points in the market. The indicator is highly customizable, allowing users to adjust colors, limits, and display options to suit their trading style.
Key Features:
1: Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection:
- Identifies Bullish FVGs: Occur when the high of two candles ago is lower than the low of the current candle, indicating a potential upward price movement.
- Identifies Bearish FVGs: Occur when the low of two candles ago is higher than the high of the current candle, indicating a potential downward price movement.
- Displays FVGs as colored boxes on the chart, with customizable border and fill colors based on the timeframe.
- Labels each FVG box with the corresponding timeframe (e.g., "1m FVG", "1h FVG", "Daily FVG").
2: Swing High and Swing Low Detection:
- Detects Swing Highs: A 3-candle pattern where the middle candle's high is higher than the highs of the candles on either side.
- Detects Swing Lows: A 3-candle pattern where the middle candle's low is lower than the lows of the candles on either side.
- Draws a solid black line with 50% opacity at each swing high and low, extending 5 bars to the right for better visibility.
- Adds a small Swing High or Swing Low label at the right end of each line, colored according to user-defined settings.
3: Timeframe-Specific FVG Visualization:
- FVGs are color-coded based on the chart's timeframe, making it easy to distinguish between FVGs on different timeframes.
- Each timeframe has its own fill color for bullish and bearish FVGs, with adjustable transparency for better chart clarity.
- A dashed black line is drawn in the middle of each FVG box to highlight the midpoint of the gap.
4: Customizable Display Options:
- FVG Limit: Control the maximum number of FVGs displayed on the chart (from 1 to 20).
- Extend Options for FVG Boxes:
- "None": FVG boxes extend only 2 bars to the right.
- "Limited": FVG boxes extend a user-defined number of candles to the right (1 to 100 candles).
- "Default": FVG boxes extend 3 bars to the right of the current bar.
- Color Customization:
- Set border colors for bullish and bearish FVGs.
- Adjust fill colors for FVGs on different timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
- Customize the colors of swing high and swing low labels.
5: Performance Optimization:
- The indicator only plots FVGs and swings on the last confirmed bar (barstate.islastconfirmedhistory), ensuring efficient performance and reducing chart clutter.

- Bearish FVG Border Color (bearishColor): Choose the border color for bearish FVGs (default: red).
- Swing High Color (swingHighColor): Set the color for swing high labels (default: blue).
- Swing Low Color (swingLowColor): Set the color for swing low labels (default: purple).
- Extend Options:
- Extend Option (extendOption): Choose how far FVG boxes extend to the right ("None", "Limited", or "Default"; default: "Default").
- Extend Candles (extendCandles): If "Limited" is selected, specify the number of candles to extend FVG boxes (default: 8, range: 1 to 100).
- Timeframe-Specific Fill Colors:
- Customize fill colors for bullish and bearish FVGs on various timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
- Each fill color has a default transparency (e.g., 93% for most timeframes, 90% for 30m), which can be adjusted as needed.
How to Use:
1: Add the Indicator to Your Chart:
- Open TradingView, go to the Pine Editor, and paste the script.
- Click "Add to Chart" to apply the indicator to your current chart.
2: Adjust Settings:
- Open the indicator settings by clicking the gear icon next to the indicator name on your chart.

- Choose your preferred colors for FVGs and swings.
- Adjust the extend options for FVG boxes.
3: Interpret the Indicator:
- FVG Boxes: Look for colored boxes on the chart, which represent Fair Value Gaps. Bullish FVGs (green borders by default) suggest potential buying opportunities, while bearish FVGs (red borders by default) suggest potential selling opportunities. The label inside each box indicates the timeframe of the FVG.
- Swing Highs and Lows: Identify key turning points with solid black lines (50% opacity) at swing highs and lows. Each line extends 5 bars to the right, with an "SH" (Swing High) or "SL" (Swing Low) label at the end. Swing highs can act as resistance levels, while swing lows can act as support levels.
4: Combine with Your Strategy:
- Use FVGs to identify areas where price might return to fill the gap, often acting as support or resistance.
- Use swing highs and lows to spot potential trend reversals or to set stop-loss and take-profit levels.
- Combine the indicator with other tools (e.g., trendlines, moving averages) for a more comprehensive trading strategy.
Notes:
- The indicator works on all timeframes, but the appearance of FVGs and swings will vary depending on the chart's timeframe.
- For best results, use the indicator on a clean chart to avoid visual clutter, especially if you increase the fvgLimit.
- The swing high/low lines are drawn with 50% opacity to ensure they don’t overpower other chart elements, but they are still clearly visible.

Thien ThienFair Value Gap indicator: Paints FVGs and their midlines (CEs). Stops painting when CE is hit, or when fully filled; user choice of threshold. This threshold is also used in the Alert conditions.
~~Plotted here on ES1! (CME), on the 15m timeframe~~
-A FVG represents a 'naked' body where the wicks/tails on either side do not meet. This can be seen as a type of 'gap', which price will have a tendency to want to re-fill (in part or in full).
-The midline (CE, or 'Consequent encroachment') of FVGs also tend to show price sensitivity.
-This indicator paints all FVGs until priced into, and should give an idea of which are more meaningful and which are best ignored (based on context: location, Time of day, market structure, etc).
-This is a simpler and more efficient method of painting Fair value gaps which auto-stop painting when price reaches them.
//Aims of Publishing:
-Education of ICT concepts of Fair Value Gaps and their midlines (CEs): To easily see via forward testing or backtesting, the sensitivity that price shows to these areas & levels.
-Demonstration of a much more efficient way of plotting FVGs which terminate at price, thanks to a modification of @Bjorgums's clever looping method referenced below.

Basic Pivot-Based S/R with Stopping LinesBasic Pivot-Based S/R with Intrabar Pressure Analysis
Overview:
This indicator identifies potential support and resistance levels based on a combination of traditional pivot point analysis and a unique intrabar volume pressure assessment. It goes beyond simply identifying pivot highs and lows; it qualifies these pivots by examining the underlying buying and selling pressure within the candles that form the pivot. This approach aims to identify stronger, more reliable support and resistance levels than those based on price action alone.
Core Concepts and Calculations:
Pivot Points: The indicator uses the standard ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions to detect pivot highs and lows. The user can choose whether to use the candle wicks ("Wick" mode) or the candle bodies ("Body" mode) for pivot detection. The leftBars and rightBars parameters control the number of bars on either side of the pivot used in the calculation.
Intrabar Volume Pressure: This is the indicator's key differentiator. It analyzes the volume distribution within each candle by accessing data from a lower timeframe (specified by the user, defaulting to 1-second data). For each candle:
Up Volume: The total volume associated with price increases within the candle is calculated (on the lower timeframe). This uses the volume multiplied by how much the price has moved up.
Down Volume: The total volume associated with price decreases within the candle is calculated (on the lower timeframe). This uses the volume multiplied by how much the price has moved down.
These up and down volumes are then summed across all lower timeframe candles.
Pressure Imbalance at Pivots: The indicator then checks for a specific condition at each identified pivot point
These lines are dynamic. They continue to extend to the right as long as the price does not decisively cross them.
A support line (green) stops extending if the price closes below the line.
A resistance line (red) stops extending if the price closes above the line. *This behavior reflects the idea that a support/resistance level is "validated" as long as the price respects it and "invalidated" once the price breaks through.
Interpretation and Usage:
The core idea is that a pivot point where the internal volume pressure contradicts the external price action (e.g., a green candle with more selling pressure) is a stronger and more reliable support or resistance level. This suggests that there's hidden buying or selling interest at that level, which may not be immediately obvious from the candlestick pattern alone.
Green Lines (Support): Indicate potential areas where buyers are likely to step in, even if the price is currently declining. These are levels where buying pressure was surprisingly strong despite a red candle forming at a pivot low.
Red Lines (Resistance): Indicate potential areas where sellers are likely to emerge, even if the price is currently rising. These are levels where selling pressure was surprisingly strong despite a green candle forming at a pivot high.
Line Extensions: The length of the line indicates how long the support or resistance level has held. Longer lines suggest stronger, more established levels.
Line Breaks: When a line stops extending, it indicates that the support or resistance level has been broken. This can be a signal of a potential trend change or a breakout.
Advantages:
Combines Price and Volume: Integrates both price action (pivots) and volume information (intrabar pressure) for a more comprehensive analysis.
Identifies "Hidden" S/R: Highlights support and resistance levels that might be missed by traditional pivot analysis.
Dynamic Lines: The lines adapt to market conditions, extending only as long as the S/R level remains valid.
Simple Visualization: Uses clear, horizontal lines for easy identification of potential support and resistance.
High Resolution Data: Uses data from a user selectable lower timeframe for better accuracy.
Limitations:
Lower Timeframe Data Dependency: The accuracy of the intrabar pressure analysis depends on the availability and quality of lower timeframe data.
Parameter Sensitivity: The indicator's performance is influenced by the pivot detection parameters (leftBars, rightBars) and the chosen lowerTimeframe.
Not a Standalone System: This indicator, like all indicators, should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis and as part of a complete trading strategy.
In summary, this indicator offers a refined approach to identifying support and resistance levels by combining classic pivot point analysis with a detailed examination of the volume dynamics within the candles that form those pivots. This provides a more nuanced view of buying and selling pressure, potentially leading to the identification of stronger and more reliable S/R levels.
