Day, Week, or Hour Coloring
This is a simple Script that dynamically colors the chart bars based on the day of the week, week of the month, or hour of the day. Users can toggle between these three modes using the Color Mode input, allowing for flexible visual representation of time periods directly on the chart.
Key Features:
Color Modes:
Day Mode: Colors the bars according to the day of the week, with each day assigned a unique color.
Week Mode: Colors the bars based on the week of the month, providing a different color for each week.
Hour Mode: Colors the bars according to the hour of the day, with distinct colors assigned to each hour.
How It Works:
Day Mode:
The script assigns a unique color to each day of the week (e.g., Monday is red, Tuesday is green).
Week Mode:
The script calculates the week of the month by considering the first day of the month and adjusts the day count to determine the correct week.
Each week is assigned a specific color (e.g., Week 1 is red, Week 2 is green).
Hour Mode:
The script assigns a unique color to each hour of the day (e.g., 0:00 is blue, 1:00 is green).
Selected Color Application:
The script evaluates the selected Color Mode and applies the corresponding color to the bars on the chart using the barcolor() function.
This indicator is useful for traders who want to visually distinguish time periods on their charts, aiding in pattern recognition and time-based analysis.
Prometheus Volatility EMAThe Prometheus Volatility EMA is an indicator that calculates an Exponential Moving Average with the historical volatility as how we decide how sensitive to make the indicator to the most recent data.
A traditional EMA is calculated like this:
EMA = alpha * source + (1 - alpha) * EMA , where alpha = 2 / (length + 1)
Sourced from TradingView’s ta.ema built in function.
We see that the alpha value is used to determine how sensitive the EMA will be to the most recent prices, and it is derived from how many bars back are used in the calculation.
Prometheus is using the annualized historical volatility, for a specified period as the “alpha” value. The reason for this is that on more volatile assets, the EMA will follow price more closely to give you a better idea of when price may change direction.
Historical Volatility calculation:
hv = ta.stdev(math.log(close / close ), lkb) * math.sqrt(252/5)
EMA calculation:
float hv_EMA = na
hv_EMA := na(hv_EMA ) ? ta.sma(close, lkb) : hv * close + (1 - hv) * hv_EMA
Let's explain some charts to better understand this tool!
We see on a 1 year NASDAQ:SHY chart, the moving average is far from the price. This makes sense as NASDAQ:SHY has a range of 2.85% from the low to the high for this period in the photo above. It is not very volatile.
In this chart of BITSTAMP:BTCUSD we see that the EMA follows price very closely, way closer than it does on $SHY. This is because BITSTAMP:BTCUSD is much more volatile. BITSTAMP:BTCUSD has a range of 196% from the low to the high in this photo. Way more than $SHY.
We see it change on the same asset here looking at $QQQ. In the small period with the drop we see the EMA follow more closely as volatility picks up, then it quickly allows price to get far as volatility leaves.
This is the perspective we aim to provide. We encourage traders to not follow indicators blindly. No indicator is 100% accurate. This one can give you a different perspective of price strength with volatility. We encourage any comments about desired updates or criticism!
Liquidity tool [Influxum]One of the most widespread concepts that can give you an edge when trading in the markets is liquidity. There are several ways to identify and plot liquidity. This indicator aims to show how liquidity can be plotted entirely objectively, thus laying the foundation for a consistent trading system.
Pivot
One of the ways to identify liquidity is using pivots. Pivots are candles that are locally the highest or the lowest. We identify them using strength, which is a number that determines how many candles to the left and right of the pivot candle are lower for a pivot high and higher for a pivot low. It is important to keep in mind that a pivot candle is only confirmed when the last candle to the right closes. If I have the pivot number set to 10, it means that a pivot high is a candle that has 10 lower candles on the left and 10 lower candles on the right. Only after the 10th candle to the right closes is the pivot candle confirmed as a pivot high. Within this indicator, the liquidity line is drawn at this moment.
Tip for traders:
If you work with liquidity from both lower and higher timeframes, try adding two Liquidity Tool indicators to your chart: set a lower pivot number, for example, 5 for one, and a higher pivot number, for example, 20 for the other. At the same time, adjust the line width for liquidity with a higher pivot number to a higher value. This way, you achieve a combination of liquidity from significant higher timeframe structures and lower timeframe structures.
Gann Swing
The Gann swing is another objective way to mark liquidity in the market. Unlike pivot liquidity, which is based on the highest highs or lowest lows of candles, the Gann swing is based on the highest or lowest closes. We then mark liquidity when the current candle closes above the highest close of the last few candles or below the lowest close of the last few candles. While a pivot high might only show a local extreme in price development, the Gann swing deals with the actual closing of the price. Liquidity points determined by the Gann swing may thus be more indicative of where the price actually wants to go, not just where it was at a particular moment before sharply rebounding (as with pivot liquidity).
Percent Change
One of the most objective ways to identify liquidity is the percentage change in price. We plot liquidity only in places where there has been a sufficiently large swing/significant price movement. This can be particularly relevant for filtering out moments when the price is moving within a narrow range. In such a situation, many pivot highs and lows or Gann swings can occur, which may be only a few pips or fractions of a percent apart. If you set it so that you want liquidity to be plotted only on a swing of 0.1% (for forex, where this is a sufficiently large movement), you can easily filter out moments when the price was moving in a narrow range.
Liquidity Session
For Pivot, Gann, and Percentage liquidity, you have the option to set a trading session. This determines the time period for which you want liquidity to be plotted. You might want to see only the liquidity from the Asian session, for example. Check the checkbox with BG. This will display the background for the currently selected session. You can then check if you are working only with the liquidity of your intended session.
Note:
Sometimes you may notice that liquidity lines start even outside the selected session. This is not a mistake. As mentioned above with pivot liquidity, if the pivot number (strength) is 10, we wait for the tenth candle to close before liquidity is confirmed. The pivot candle itself is thus located 10 candles back, and that is where the liquidity line also begins. However, the crucial moment for this indicator is when the liquidity point is confirmed.
Visual Settings
To customize the indicator to your preferences as much as possible, you have the option to set the style of the liquidity line, its color, and its thickness. The analyses you share will then match your exact vision.
Delete Grabbed Liquidity
Check this option when you want to see only uncrossed liquidity on the charts, meaning liquidity lines that have not yet been crossed by the price.
Display Liquidity Grab Point
When you check this option, it highlights the points on the candles where liquidity was grabbed.
Liquidity Duration
Some strategies require that only internal liquidity be taken, meaning liquidity that was created recently. To accommodate this, we have embedded several options in the indicator to work with the validity duration of liquidity.
Delete Liquidity End of Day
This option deletes the liquidity line at the end of the calendar day. This way, you can display only intraday liquidity.
Tip for traders: If you check both "delete liquidity end of day" and "delete grabbed liquidity," only the liquidity of the current day will be displayed on the chart.
Delete Liquidity End of Next Day
This option works similarly to the above. By deleting liquidity only at the end of the next day, you can work with yesterday's liquidity. Many strategies use the liquidity of the previous day (or the high and low of the previous day), allowing you to focus exclusively on yesterday's and today's liquidity.
Liquidity Duration in Bars
The final option allows you to delete liquidity after a certain time has elapsed. For the purposes of the indicator, we have set the time in terms of the number of bars. So, if you are on a 5-minute timeframe and want liquidity to be deleted after an hour, set the liquidity duration to 12 bars (12 x 5 minutes is 60 minutes).
Volume Profile Heatmap [UAlgo]The "Volume Profile Heatmap " indicator is a tool designed to visualize the distribution of trading volume across different price levels over a specified period. This heatmap-style indicator helps traders identify significant price levels where a high volume of trading activity has occurred, which can be crucial for making informed trading decisions. The indicator divides the price range into multiple levels and calculates the volume of trades occurring at each level, presenting this data in a visually intuitive manner using a gradient of colors.
By analyzing the volume profile, traders can gain insights into areas of support and resistance, as well as the Point of Control (POC)—the price level with the highest traded volume. This information is valuable in assessing market sentiment, potential reversal points, and key areas of interest where price action might consolidate or react.
🔶 Key Features
Customizable Analysis Period: The indicator allows users to specify the analysis period, defining the historical range over which the volume profile is calculated.
Adjustable Number of Levels: Users can set the number of price levels to divide the price range, offering flexibility in the granularity of the volume analysis.
Color-Coded Heatmap: The indicator uses a gradient color scheme to visually represent volume intensity at each price level. Higher volume areas are shaded differently than lower volume areas, making it easy to spot significant price levels.
Opacity Control: Users can adjust the opacity of the volume boxes, enabling a clearer or more subtle visualization according to their preferences.
Point of Control (POC) Display: The indicator highlights the Point of Control, the price level with the highest traded volume, with a distinct line on the chart, allowing traders to easily identify this critical level.

Candle Based Trend Reversal (Multi-Timeframe)Candle-Based Trend Reversal (Multi-Timeframe)
Description:
This indicator is designed to help traders identify potential trend reversals by analyzing candle patterns across multiple timeframes. The script uses two sets of conditions to determine bullish and bearish trends:
1. Short-Term Lookback: A shorter lookback period is used to detect initial signs of a trend reversal. The indicator checks for a specific number of bullish or bearish candles within this period. The lookback period for this set can be adjusted according to your preferences.
2. Long-Term Lookback: A longer lookback period is used to confirm the strength of the trend reversal. This additional check ensures that the trend change is significant and not just a short-term fluctuation. The lookback period for this set is also customizable to fit different trading strategies.
When both conditions are met, the script will color the candles accordingly and display a label on the chart to indicate a potential trend reversal. The colors and symbols for bullish and bearish signals are fully customizable in the settings.
How It Works:
* The script examines the closing prices of candles within the specified lookback periods.
* If the conditions for both lookback periods are met, it triggers a signal by changing the color of the candles and displaying a label.
* Once a signal is triggered, the trend (bullish or bearish) will remain active until a new opposing signal is generated.
* The lookback periods for both the short-term and long-term conditions can be modified, allowing you to tailor the indicator to different market conditions and timeframes.
* This helps traders visually identify when a trend reversal might be occurring based on recent price action.
Usage:
* This indicator is particularly effective on monthly, weekly, daily, and hourly charts.
* Simply switch the timeframe, and the indicator will do the rest.
* Look for colored candles and labels to spot potential reversal points.
* The last signal (bullish or bearish) will stay in effect until a contrary signal is given, allowing you to maintain a clear view of the prevailing trend.
* Customize the lookback periods to match your trading style and market conditions.
* This indicator is most effective when used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools.
Control Candle Range [UkutaLabs]Control Candle Range
█ OVERVIEW
The Control Candle Range is a powerful trading tool that automatically identifies control candles in real time. The versatile ranges drawn by this indicator can be used in a variety of trading strategies because they can be used as ranges as well as areas of support and resistance.
The purpose of this script is to simplify the trading experience of users by automatically identifying and displaying Control Candle Ranges.
█ USAGE
A Control Candle is a candle that is followed by two consecutive inside candles. When this pattern is detected, this indicator will automatically identify it and draw a range in real time. This range will continue to extend as long as candles continue to close within the range of the Control Candle. It is important to note that a Control Candle is still valid if the price action exits its range as long as it closes within its range.
This script also supports higher time frame mapping, allowing you to draw Control Candle Ranges from higher timeframes onto lower timeframe charts. This is a powerful feature that allows users to see multiple timeframes worth of information at a glance on one single chart.
Each Control Candle Range will also be displayed with a label to allow users to understand at a glance which timeframe the range is being drawn from. These labels can be turned off in the settings.

Uptrend & SMAThe "Uptrend and Close to SMA" indicator is designed to help traders identify when the price of a stock is in an uptrend and is trading near its Simple Moving Average (SMA) over a user-defined period. The indicator uses multi-timeframe analysis, allowing the user to select different timeframes for calculating the SMA.
Key Features:
SMA Calculation: The indicator calculates the SMA for a selected timeframe (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly) based on a user-specified period (default is 150 periods).
Multi-Timeframe Options: Users can choose between multiple timeframes (1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months) to calculate the SMA, providing flexibility in trend analysis.
Proximity Threshold: The indicator includes a proximity threshold in percentage terms, allowing users to define how close the real-time price needs to be to the SMA to trigger a visual alert.
Uptrend Identification: The indicator identifies an uptrend when the real-time price is above the selected SMA.
Visual Alerts: If the price is above the SMA and within the defined proximity threshold, the background color of the chart will change to green, signaling that the stock is in an uptrend and close to the SMA.
Alert Condition: The indicator includes an alert condition that triggers when the price is in an uptrend and within the proximity threshold, allowing traders to be notified when their criteria are met.
Percentage Difference Display: A table displays the percentage difference between the real-time price and the SMA, providing a quick reference to see how far the price is from the SMA in percentage terms.
This indicator is especially useful for traders looking for potential buying opportunities when a stock is trending upwards but still near its moving average, indicating potential continuation or momentum.

Arjo FVG Filtering With Alerts [neo.|]Fair Value Gaps (Also known as FVGs or Imbalances) can be simply described as a three candle pattern, where the second candle's body isn't completely covered by the wicks or body of the second and third candle. These areas represent movements in the market where either buyers or sellers were not able to get involved due to price in the form of wicks not revisiting those levels, and instead moving away from them.
As a result, they can be seen as potential areas of continuation given that price may want to continue in it's direction after it revisits them and offers Fair Value, since previously it made sharp moves away from those areas.
However what is important to note, and what FVG Filtering aims to address, is that there are three notable types of FVGs as described by Arjo, which are Perfect FVGs denoted as FVGp on the indicator and chart below, Expansion (FVGe), and Reversal (FVGr). As the names imply, they each serve different purposes with the FVGp being the likeliest to hold on mitigation, expansion meaning price is likely to not retrace into the FVG and reversal being the least likely for the FVG to hold.
The indicator is the first that automatically determines which one of the three underlying FVG types any particular FVG is, that way you can quickly make informed decisions based on the type of FVG you see appear on the chart.
As you may notice, the type depends primarily on the third candle, which demonstrates the true strength of any particular FVG, and is how the filtering occurs on this indicator, which compares the sizes of the second and third candle's bodies, in order to classify the FVG candle sequence as one of the three aforementioned types.
Color Options:
FVG Colors: Change the color of any bullish or bearish FVG type to easily distinguish between them.
Mitigated FVG Color: Apply colors to mitigated FVGs in order to avoid using ones that are no longer valid.
Text Color: Change the color of the text within the FVG to your liking.
Further styling options:
How many FVGs you want to be displayed: Changes the amount of FVGs displayed on your chart by limiting each type of FVG to the number you select.
How far you want the FVGs to extend: Modify the amount of bars forward that the FVG stretches out after it's inception.
Table options:
Show table: Display a table that will give you insights on how many FVGs were created of each type and what % they represent of the total.
Table text color: Modify the color of the text within the table.
Table border color: Modify the color of the border of the table.
Alerts:
Freely set alerts for any type of FVG you would like to see.
Next Candle Price Prediction FAJnext candle price prediction
Previous Day Data:
prevHigh, prevLow, and prevClose are calculated to capture the high, low, and close of the previous day. This is used to understand the previous day's price range and sentiment.
ATR Calculation:
The Average True Range (ATR) is a measure of volatility. We use it to estimate how much the price might move up or down from the previous close.
Predicted High and Low:
Using the previous close plus and minus the ATR value gives a range where the price might reach.
Predicted Target Price:
The script calculates a simple midpoint of the previous day's range to predict the target price for the next candle. This midpoint serves as a basic prediction, assuming price might oscillate within the previous day's range.
Plotting:
The script plots the predicted high, low, and target price as well as the previous day's high, low, and close for context.
Prometheus NFP LevelsThis script is a tool to mark the high and low of the most recent first Friday of the month. The significance of that day is that’s when the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the Non Farm Payrolls (NFP) for the month prior. This number includes how many jobs were added that month, the unemployment rate, and labor force participation rate to name a few.
It is always on the first Friday of the new month, and markets tend to care about it quite a bit.
This script also allows a user to get the high and low of a specific date, the default date is the last Federal Open Market Committee day (FOMC). On this day the Federal Reserve announces the Federal Funds Interest Rate, as well as giving guidance on things like bond buying programs, to name a few.
Markets care about these days a lot, that is why we decided to make this script. Prometheus plans to update the default custom date with the most recent FOMC date as they come around.
Here we see the FOMC level high in blue, and low in yellow as well as the NFP high and low in green and red. The white boxes highlight areas where the market reacted to the levels.
On this chart we see a different asset still has interactions with the levels.
We chose to have the user input the date the way we did, not as a timestamp, for this code:
ts_start = timestamp(event_year, event_month, event_day, 9, 30)
ts_end = timestamp(event_year, event_month, event_day+1, 0, 0)
Adding one to the inputted date gives us a simple way to define the time range.
Prometheus encourages users to use indicators as tools along with their own discretion. No indicator is 100% accurate. We encourage comments about requested features and criticism.
Smoothed SuperTrend with VWAP Confirmation [CHE] Smoothed SuperTrend with Automated Optimization and VWAP Confirmation
Overview
The "Smoothed SuperTrend with VWAP Confirmation" is an advanced technical analysis indicator designed for precise trend identification and trading signal generation. This script integrates a smoothed version of the popular SuperTrend indicator with an additional layer of confirmation using the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP). The combination of these two elements offers traders a powerful tool for identifying optimal entry and exit points in the market.
Key Features
1. Smoothed SuperTrend
- Super Smoother Algorithm: The SuperTrend in this script is not just a regular one; it is enhanced by the Super Smoother filter, which reduces market noise and provides more reliable trend signals.
- Customizable Parameters: Traders can adjust three different sets of SuperTrend parameters (factor and ATR length), allowing them to tailor the indicator to their specific trading strategies.
- Automatic Optimization: The script automatically evaluates the performance of each SuperTrend parameter set and selects the one with the best cumulative performance. This selection process can be set to pick either the best or the worst performing parameter set, depending on the trader's preference.
2. VWAP Confirmation
- Precise Trend Confirmation: Once the best-performing SuperTrend is identified, the script further refines the signals by using VWAP as a confirmation tool. VWAP is a highly respected indicator in the trading community, often used to assess the true average price of an asset.
- Long and Short Signal Generation: The script generates Long and Short signals only when the price action is confirmed by both the SuperTrend and VWAP. For a Long signal, the price must be above the VWAP, and for a Short signal, it must be below the VWAP. This dual confirmation ensures higher accuracy and reduces the likelihood of false signals.
3. Visual and Informative Labels
- Signal Labels: Upon confirmation of a trend reversal by both the SuperTrend and VWAP, the script plots clear labels on the chart, indicating confirmed Long or Short signals. These labels are customizable in terms of color, text, and size, ensuring they fit seamlessly into any chart setup.
- Best Parameters Display: At the close of the most recent bar, the script displays a label that provides detailed information about the best-performing SuperTrend parameters and their cumulative performance. This feature keeps traders informed about which settings are currently most effective.
Input Customization Options
1. Super Smoother Length
- Traders can define the length of the Super Smoother filter, which is used to smooth both price data and ATR (Average True Range) values. This input allows traders to control the sensitivity of the indicator, with shorter lengths providing faster responses and longer lengths offering smoother trends.
2. SuperTrend Parameters
- Factor: For each of the three SuperTrends, traders can set a unique factor that determines the distance of the SuperTrend bands from the average price. A higher factor results in wider bands and fewer signals, while a lower factor results in narrower bands and more signals.
- ATR Length: Traders can also specify the length of the ATR used in each SuperTrend calculation. A longer ATR period captures broader market volatility, while a shorter period focuses on more immediate price movements.
3. Label Settings
- Label Colors: The script allows full customization of label colors for Long and Short signals, ensuring that they match the trader’s chart aesthetics.
- Label Text Colors and Sizes: Traders can adjust the text color and size of the labels for Long, Short, and information labels, allowing them to prioritize visibility and readability on their charts.
4. Performance Selection Mode
- Best or Worst Performer: This input allows traders to select whether the script should optimize for the best or worst performing SuperTrend parameter set. This flexibility is useful in different market conditions, where a trader might want to analyze either the strongest trend or focus on a contrarian strategy.
5. VWAP Calculation
- The script automatically recalculates the VWAP based on trend changes, ensuring that the confirmation signals are as accurate and relevant as possible to the current market context.
Important Note
This script is designed to provide more accurate trend signals and confirmations, but like all technical indicators, it should not be used in isolation. It is recommended to use this tool as part of a broader trading strategy, including proper risk management and consideration of fundamental market conditions.
Conclusion
The "Smoothed SuperTrend with VWAP Confirmation" script is an innovative trading tool that combines the strengths of the SuperTrend and VWAP indicators. By integrating smoothing techniques and automatic parameter optimization, this indicator provides traders with more accurate and reliable trend signals. The added confirmation by VWAP further enhances the precision of the entry and exit points, making it an excellent choice for traders looking to improve their technical analysis and trading outcomes. This tool is especially valuable for those who prefer customizable inputs and a systematic approach to trading, ensuring that the indicator adapts to various market conditions and individual trading styles.

Price & Volume Breakout Fibonacci Probability [TradeDots]📝 OVERVIEW
The "Price & Volume Breakout Fibonacci Probability" indicator is designed to detect the probability of the maximum run-up and drawdown of each breakout trade on an asset, assisting traders in optimizing their take profit and stop loss strategies.
🧮 CALCULATIONS
The algorithm detects price and volume breakouts to activate the Fibonacci levels displayed on the chart. It calculates these levels using the period pivot high and low, with the close price of the breakout bar as the reference price.
The indicator then forward-tests within an user-selected number of bars, detecting the maximum run-up and drawdown during that period. Consequently, it calculates the probability of the price hitting either side of the Fibonacci levels, showing the likelihood of reaching take profit and stop loss targets for each breakout trade.
📊 EXAMPLE
The above example shows two breakout trades, circled within the yellow rectangle zone.
The first trade has a maximum run-up above the +0.382 Fibonacci level zone and a maximum drawdown below the -0.618 Fibonacci level zone.
When the price reaches the maximum run-up, it only has a ~45% probability of moving further upward into the last two zones (25% + 19.44%). This indicates that setting a take profit at a higher level may have less than a 50% chance of success.
Conversely, when the price reaches its maximum drawdown, there is only an ~8% probability of moving further downward into the last drawdown zone. This could indicate a potential reversal.
⚙️ SETTINGS
Breakout Condition: Determines the type of breakout condition to track: "Price", "Volume", "Price & Volume".
Backtest Period: The maximum run-up and drawdown are detected within this bar period.
Price Breakout Period: Specifies the number of bars the price needs to break out from.
Volume Breakout Period: Specifies the number of bars the volume needs to break out from.
Trendline Confirmation: Confirms that the close price needs to be above the trendline.
📈 HOW TO USE
By understanding the probabilities of price movements to both the upside and downside, traders can set take profit and stop loss targets with greater accuracy.
For instance, placing a stop loss order below the zone with the highest probability minimizes the chances of being stopped out of a profitable trade. Conversely, setting a take profit target at the zone with the highest probability increases the win rate.
Additionally, if the price breaches multiple Fibonacci levels during the breakout period, it may indicate an abnormal state, signaling a potential reversal or pullback. This can help traders exit trades in a timely manner.
Traders can adjust their take profit and stop loss levels based on their individual risk tolerance.

Entropy Indicator [CHE]Entropy in Technical Analysis Using TradingView
Slide 1: Title
Entropy in Technical Analysis Using TradingView
Introduction to the concept of entropy
Application in technical analysis
Understanding the use of entropy as a market indicator
Slide 2: What is Entropy?
Definition and Origins:
Entropy originates from thermodynamics and information theory.
In thermodynamics, entropy describes the degree of disorder or randomness in a system.
In information theory, entropy quantifies the uncertainty or unpredictability of information content.
Mathematical Definition:
Entropy measures the unpredictability of a system.
The basic idea: Higher entropy means more randomness; lower entropy indicates more predictability.
Formula: Entropy is calculated using the probabilities of different outcomes, based on how frequently certain price levels are reached.
Slide 3: Entropy in Financial Markets
Why Entropy Matters:
Market Uncertainty: Entropy can measure the level of uncertainty or randomness in financial markets.
Volatility Indicator: High entropy may indicate a volatile, unpredictable market, while low entropy suggests a stable, predictable market.
Applications in Trading:
Trend Analysis: Identifying periods of high entropy can help detect potential trend reversals or periods of market consolidation.
Risk Management: Using entropy to adjust trading strategies based on the perceived level of market uncertainty.
Slide 4: How Entropy is Calculated in Trading
Step-by-Step Process:
Data Collection:
The first step is to gather the relevant price data over a specific period, such as 200 closing prices. This data forms the basis of the entropy calculation, representing the market's recent behavior.
Defining Bins:
The price range within the collected data is divided into a fixed number of bins or intervals. These bins represent different price levels. For instance, if you choose 5 bins, the price range will be split into 5 equal segments.
Assigning Data to Bins:
The next step is to assign each price within the data to one of these bins. This step helps in understanding how frequently the price falls within specific ranges, indicating the distribution of prices over the period.
Calculating Probabilities:
After assigning the data to bins, calculate the probability for each bin by dividing the number of data points in each bin by the total number of data points. These probabilities reflect how often prices fall into each range.
Computing Entropy:
Entropy is then calculated based on the distribution of these probabilities. The formula involves summing the products of each probability and the logarithm of that probability. This calculation tells us how evenly the prices are distributed across the bins.
Interpretation for Traders:
High entropy indicates that the prices are spread evenly across the bins, suggesting a highly random and uncertain market. Low entropy, on the other hand, shows that prices are concentrated in fewer bins, indicating more predictable and stable market conditions.
Slide 5: Implementing and Using Entropy in TradingView
How It Works in TradingView:
Data Period: Typically, entropy is calculated over a specific number of bars (e.g., 200), representing recent market activity. The longer the period, the broader the market behavior considered.
Bin Division: The price range during this period is divided into a set number of bins. These bins help to categorize price levels and assess how spread out the market’s activity is.
Entropy Calculation: The indicator evaluates the spread of prices across these bins to determine the level of market disorder. This is visualized on the chart as an entropy line, helping traders to see fluctuations in market uncertainty.
Practical Application:
As a trader, you can use the entropy indicator to gauge when the market is in a state of high uncertainty (high entropy) or low uncertainty (low entropy). This insight can inform decisions on when to take riskier trades or when to stay conservative.
Slide 6: Interpreting the Entropy Indicator
High Entropy:
Characteristics:
Indicates a high level of market disorder, where price movements are more random and less predictable.
Suggests volatile or unpredictable market conditions.
Implications for Traders:
During periods of high entropy, traders might need to exercise greater caution, reduce position sizes, or employ more defensive trading strategies.
High entropy could signal potential trend reversals or significant market movements, making it a critical period to watch closely.
Low Entropy:
Characteristics:
Suggests that the market is more predictable, with prices showing less variation and more consistent trends.
Typically associated with trending markets where price movement is more orderly.
Implications for Traders:
In a low entropy environment, traders might favor trend-following strategies, as the market shows clearer directional movement.
Low entropy can also suggest more reliable trading opportunities, where the risk of sudden, unpredictable price swings is reduced.
Slide 7: Use Cases and Strategy Integration
Practical Use Cases:
Trend Reversals: Use entropy to identify potential points where a market may shift from trending to consolidating, or vice versa. A sudden increase in entropy might indicate the end of a stable trend and the start of a more volatile period.
Volatility Detection: Detect periods of increased market volatility by observing spikes in entropy. These periods can be critical for adjusting your trading strategy, either by scaling back or by taking advantage of the increased movement.
Strategy Integration:
Risk Management: Incorporate entropy into your risk management strategy by adjusting position sizes, leverage, or stop-loss levels based on the current entropy reading. In high entropy conditions, it might be wise to take smaller, more conservative positions.
Combining Indicators: Entropy can be effectively combined with other indicators, such as moving averages or RSI, to provide a more comprehensive view of market conditions. For example, using entropy alongside a trend indicator can help confirm whether a trend is strong and likely to continue, or if it's weakening and at risk of reversal.
Slide 8: Advantages and Limitations of Entropy
Advantages:
Unique Perspective: Entropy offers a unique way to measure market uncertainty that complements traditional volatility measures. It provides traders with insights into the randomness and predictability of price movements, which can be crucial for strategic decision-making.
Dynamic Analysis: Entropy adapts to changes in market conditions, offering real-time insights into the level of market disorder. This makes it a valuable tool for traders who need to stay responsive to the market's evolving dynamics.
Limitations:
Complex Interpretation: Unlike more straightforward indicators, entropy requires a deeper understanding to interpret correctly. Traders need to be familiar with how entropy levels relate to market behavior and what actions to take in response.
Sensitivity to Parameters: The results can vary significantly depending on the number of bins and the data period chosen, requiring careful parameter selection. Traders may need to experiment with different settings to find the most informative configuration for their specific market or trading style.
Slide 9: Conclusion
Key Takeaways:
Entropy as a Tool: Provides a unique perspective on market dynamics by measuring unpredictability. This can help traders better understand the nature of market conditions and tailor their strategies accordingly.
Practical Application: Can enhance trading strategies, particularly in volatile markets, by helping to identify periods of high uncertainty and adjusting risk management practices.
Further Exploration: Experimenting with different bin sizes and periods can help fine-tune the entropy indicator for specific markets and trading strategies. Traders are encouraged to combine entropy with other indicators to build a more robust trading framework.
Final Thoughts:
Entropy is a powerful concept that, when applied correctly, can offer valuable insights into market behavior. It should be used in conjunction with other tools and indicators to make informed trading decisions, particularly in markets where unpredictability plays a significant role.
This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of entropy, its significance in financial markets, and how it can be practically applied as an indicator in TradingView. The focus is on how traders can use entropy to enhance their trading strategies and improve their understanding of market conditions.

Big Candle Touches Bollinger BandWhat It Does:
This indicator helps you spot important trading signals by combining Bollinger Bands with big candles.
Key Features:
Bollinger Bands: These bands show the average price (middle band) and the range of price movement (upper and lower bands) over a set period. The bands widen when prices are more volatile and narrow when they are less volatile.
Big Candle Detection: A "big candle" is a candle that has a larger body compared to the average price movement over a period. This is determined using the Average True Range (ATR), which measures market volatility.
How It Works:
Detects Big Candles: It checks if a candle’s body (the difference between its open and close prices) is bigger than usual, based on a multiplier of the ATR.
Touching Bollinger Bands: It looks for candles that touch or cross the upper or lower Bollinger Bands.
Highlights Important Signals:
Sell Signal: When a big candle touches the upper Bollinger Band, it marks it as a "Sell" signal with a red label.
Buy Signal: When a big candle touches the lower Bollinger Band, it marks it as a "Buy" signal with a green label.
Alerts:
You'll get alerts when a big candle touches the upper or lower Bollinger Bands, so you don’t miss these potential trading opportunities.
Visuals:
Bollinger Bands: Shown as three lines on the chart — the upper band (red), the lower band (green), and the middle band (blue).
Labels: Red labels for sell signals and green labels for buy signals when a big candle touches the bands.
This indicator helps you identify potential trading opportunities by focusing on significant price movements and how they interact with the Bollinger Bands.

Artaking 2Components of the Indicator:
Moving Averages:
Short-Term Moving Average (MA): This is a 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) applied to the closing price. It is used to track the short-term trend of the market.
Long-Term Moving Average (MA): This is a 200-period SMA used to track the long-term trend.
Day Trading Moving Average: A 20-period SMA is used specifically for day trading signals, focusing on shorter-term price movements.
Purpose:
The crossing of these moving averages (short-term crossing above or below long-term) provides basic buy and sell signals, indicative of potential trend reversals or continuations.
ADX (Average Directional Index) for Trend Strength:
ADX Calculation: The ADX is calculated using a 14-period length with 14-period smoothing. The ADX value indicates the strength of a trend, regardless of direction.
Strong Trend Condition: The indicator considers a trend to be strong if the ADX value is above 25. This threshold helps filter out trades during weak or sideways markets.
Purpose:
To ensure that the strategy only generates signals when there is a strong trend, thus avoiding whipsaws in low volatility or range-bound conditions.
Support Levels:
Support Level Calculation: The indicator calculates the lowest close over the last 100 periods. This level is used to identify significant support zones where the price might find a floor.
Purpose:
Support levels are critical in identifying potential areas where the price might bounce, making them ideal for setting stop losses or identifying buy opportunities.
Volatility Spike (Proxy for News Trading):
ATR (Average True Range) Calculation: The indicator uses a 14-period ATR to measure market volatility. A volatility spike is identified when the ATR is greater than 1.5 times the 14-period SMA of the ATR.
Purpose:
This serves as a proxy for news events or other sudden market movements that could make the market unpredictable. The indicator avoids generating signals during these periods to reduce the risk of being caught in a volatile, potentially news-driven move.
Fibonacci Retracement Levels:
61.8% Fibonacci Level: Calculated from the highest high and lowest low over the long MA period, this retracement level is widely regarded as a significant support or resistance level.
Purpose:
Position traders often use Fibonacci levels to identify potential reversal points. The indicator incorporates the 61.8% level to fine-tune entries and exits.
Candlestick Patterns for Price Action Trading:
Bullish Engulfing Pattern: A bullish reversal pattern where a green candle fully engulfs the previous red candle.
Bearish Engulfing Pattern: A bearish reversal pattern where a red candle fully engulfs the previous green candle.
Purpose:
These patterns are classic signals used in price action trading to identify potential reversals at key levels, especially when they align with other conditions like support/resistance or Fibonacci levels.
Signal Generation:
The indicator generates buy and sell signals by combining the above elements:
Buy Signal:
A buy signal is triggered when:
The short-term MA crosses above the long-term MA (indicating a potential uptrend).
The trend is strong (ADX > 25).
The current price is near or below the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, suggesting a potential reversal.
No significant volatility spike is detected, ensuring the market isn’t reacting unpredictably to news.
Sell Signal:
A sell signal is triggered when:
The short-term MA crosses below the long-term MA (indicating a potential downtrend).
The trend is strong (ADX > 25).
The current price is near or above the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, suggesting potential resistance.
No significant volatility spike is detected.
Day Trading Signals:
Independent of the main trend signals, the indicator also generates intraday buy and sell signals when the price crosses above or below the 20-period day trading MA.
Price Action Signals:
The indicator can trigger buy or sell signals based purely on price action, such as the occurrence of bullish or bearish engulfing patterns. This is optional and can be enabled or disabled.
Alerts:
The indicator includes built-in alert conditions that notify the trader when a buy or sell signal is generated. This allows traders to act immediately without having to constantly monitor the charts.
Practical Application:
This indicator is versatile and can be used across various trading styles:
Position Trading: The long-term MA, Fibonacci retracement, and ADX provide a solid foundation for identifying long-term trends and potential entry/exit points.
Day Trading: The short-term MA and day trading MA offer quick signals for intraday trading.
Price Action: Candlestick pattern recognition allows for precise entry points based on market sentiment and behavior.
News Trading: The volatility spike filter helps avoid trading during periods of market instability, often driven by news events.
Conclusion:
The Comprehensive Trading Strategy Indicator is a robust tool designed to help traders navigate various market conditions by integrating multiple strategies into a single, coherent framework. It provides clear, actionable signals while filtering out potentially dangerous trades during volatile or weak market conditions. Whether you're a long-term trader, a day trader, or someone who relies on price action, this indicator can be a valuable addition to your trading toolkit.

This flexibility helps traders align their strategies with broader market trends, ensuring they are aware of significant supply and demand levels across different timeframes.
Potential Entry and Take Profit Zones:
The supply and demand zones identified by the indicator can be used as potential entry points for trades or as take profit zones. Traders can enter long positions near demand zones, where buying pressure is expected to push prices higher, or enter short positions near supply zones, where selling pressure might drive prices lower. Additionally, these zones can serve as logical areas to take profits, as they represent levels where the market is likely to encounter resistance or support.
The identification of supply and demand zones serves as the foundation for potential trade setups, while the multi-timeframe functionality enhances the depth of analysis by allowing traders to view higher timeframe zones without leaving their current chart. This combination ensures that traders can maintain a clear understanding of significant market levels across different timeframes, enabling them to make more informed and strategic trading decisions.
Inputs:
Timeframe: Choose the timeframe for the supply-demand zones shown on the chart.
Sensitivity: Adjust the sensitivity of the S/D zones. A smaller value will lead to fewer zones generated on the chart, while a larger value will lead to more zones shown.
Width: Adjust the width (size) of the zones. A smaller value will result in smaller zones, while a larger value will result in larger zones.
Supply/Demand Color: Freely adjust the colors of the supply-demand zones.
Zones Offset: This affects the extension of the zones (i.e. many bars to the right).
Timeframe Label: The timeframe label is displayed on the top right corner, and can be turned on/off. It displays the timeframe of the MTF Supply Demand. The position and size of the label can also be adjusted.
The ability to view and adjust supply and demand zones from multiple timeframes directly within the indicator settings offers a significant advantage, providing traders with a more comprehensive view of the market.
