Saylor to Schiff RatioI'm reposting the Saylor to Schiff Ratio indicator that was originally developed by Michael Silva
This indicator may be used to predict key momentum shifts in the price of Bitcoin
I've set up this indicator for it to be used on the weekly timeframe as was intended.
The indicator plots in any BTCUSD spot, futures , BLX index and BTCEUR .
It paints in all time frames, but Weekly time frame is the correct one to interpret the 'official' read of it.
For that reason, I've enabled by default an option that forces the indicator to display on the Weekly value even though the time frame could be higher or lower.
Credit for this idea goes to Michael Silva: @mikepsilva
[TTI] ATR channelsHISTORY AND CREDITS
Used by John Carter in his indicator’s toolbox. The ATR channels or the Keltner Channels represent the railroads or the natural movement of stocks.
WHAT IT DOES
Movements between the the The first multiplier lines (white) represent standard movement for the timeframe you are trading. Movements between the second multiplier (green/red lines) represent a 2stdv move of the stock in a single direction. Once a stock starts reaching the 3rd multiplier lines there’s an exponential chance that it will revert to the mean (cyan line)
Additionally, we have added the Institutional lines. These are thought in a Small Account Mastery class 2019 by John Carter, as the levels heavily watched by institutions. The default settings represent what John is teaching but they can be further customised.
HOW TO USE IT
ATRs channels or Keltner Channels can be great source for target or stop losses and can be used as a indicator for confluence with other technical tools like the Fibonacci lines.
Double Top/Bottom - Ultimate (OS)This is zigzag based double top/bottom indicator. Code is same as : Double-Top-Bottom-Ultimate
But, republishing it to make it available open source.
Double Top:
Recognition - Checks on Zigzag if LH is followed by HH
Confirmation - When low crosses under last lower pivot point on zigzag
Invalidation - When high crosses over HH
Double Bottom:
Recognition - Checks on Zigzag if HL is followed by LL
Confirmation - When high crosses over last higher pivot point on zigzag
Invalidation - When low crosses under LL
Few input options:
Option to display risk per reward which defines how steep is the W-M triangle. This is simply the ratio of price difference between mid point to top most and bottom most points. In case of double top , downside is considered as reward and upside is considered as risk and with double bottom , downside is considered as risk and upside is considered as reward. Lower risk per reward signifies better trade.
Option to display stats which shows number of occurances of double top and bottom and how many times price crossed confirmation point and invalidation point (which are also marked with dashed lines) Stats are color coded. Higher confirmation rates are colored in shades of green, lower confirmation rates are colored in shades of orange whereas the neutral confirmation rates are coloed in light yellow.
Auto Harmonic Patterns - Open SourceI may not be able to spend much time on the harmonic patterns and realized that there are not much open source scripts on them either. Hence, decided to release open source version which can be used by other developers for reference and build things on top of it.
Original script is protected and can be found here:
Logical ratios of patterns are coded as below:

I have also developed a strategy based on harmonic patterns which can be found here:
Double Top/BottomHere is an attempt to identify double top/bottom based on pivot high/lows.
Logic is simple.
Double Bottom:
Last two pivot High Lows make W shape
Last Pivot Low is higher than previous Last Pivot Low.
Last Pivot High is lower than previous last Pivot High.
Price has not gone below Last Pivot Low
Price breaks out of last Pivot High to complete W shape
Double Top:
Last two pivot High Lows make M shape
Last Pivot Low is higher than previous Last Pivot Low.
Last Pivot High is lower than previous last Pivot High.
Price has not gone above Last Pivot High
Price breaks out of last Pivot Low to complete M shape
Prameters:
Parameters PvtLenL , PvtLenR and waitforclose determines pivot points.
FilterPivots clears repetitive pivots formed in same direction before calculating the possible double top/bottom.
For example:
CheckForAbsolutePeaks and AbsolutePeakLoopback works together. When CheckForAbsolutePeaks is enabled, script only generates double bottom or top signal if previous last pivot is absolute high or low for AbsolutePeakLoopback periods.
ConsiderMovingAverage does two things. First, it makes sure that fast moving average and slow moving averages are aligned with the direction we are going to forecast. Second, it makes sure that the crossover happend recently and with last BarCrossoverLimit bars. For example, to call it double bottom, Fast MA should be higher than Slow MA and crossover of FastMA above SlowMA should have happened in last 10 bars (BarCrossoverLimit)
PivotDisplayMode can be Actual, Filtered or None. Actual will display all pivot high low generated. Filtered will only display last 5 pivot high and pivot lows which are filtered . That means, it will remove the repetitive pivots formed without making pivots on the other side.
Welcome and suggestions and feedbacks.
Wedge MakerThis tool is used to draw wedges. Traders can choose which pivot points to draw lines from in settings. Wedge Maker does not automatically detect current wedge and is required to be tweaked in settings.
Auto PitchFan, Fib Extension/Retracement and ZigZag by DGT Aᴜᴛᴏ PɪᴛᴄʜFᴀɴ, Fɪʙ Exᴛᴇɴꜱɪᴏɴ/Rᴇᴛʀᴀᴄᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ ᴀɴᴅ ZɪɢZᴀɢ
This study aim to automate PitchFan drawing tool and combines it with Fibonacci Extentions/Retracements and ZigZag.
Common setting options, applied to all components of the study
Deviation , is a multiplier that affects how much the price should deviate from the previous pivot in order for the bar to become a new pivot. Increasing its value is one way to get higher timeframe Levels
Depth , affects the minimum number of bars that will be taken into account when building
Historical PitchFan / Fibonacci Levels option will allow plotting of PitchFan / Fibonacci Levels on previous Pivot Highs/Lows
█ PɪᴛᴄʜFᴀɴ — is a set of rays spreading out of the point of a trend's beginning. These rays inclined with the coefficients formed by a Fibonacci number sequence. It is recommended to adjust the Pitchfan plottings to fit after the first wave of the trend has passed and the correction has clearly begun.
PitchFan rays corresponding to Fibonacci levels appear on a chart and represent inclined lines of support and resistance. Price areas near these rays are estimated areas from which the price can turn around or make a significant rebound. The whole logic of working with a pitchfan is based on one simple idea - if the price has bounced off the level, then the correction is likely to end, and the trend will continue. If the price has broken the first resistance, you should wait for the next level test
- Automatically plots PitchFan Rays, based on Pivot Lows/Highs.
- Ability to set ALERTs for each PitchFan Ray Level
- PitchFan Labels displays the price of the line at the last bar, the price value will be recalculated in each new bar
Please check the link provided below with the educational post of how to apply pitchfork, application of pitchfan is same keeping in mind the recommendation stated above
█ Fɪʙ Rᴇᴛʀᴀᴄᴇᴍᴇɴᴛs / Exᴛᴇɴꜱɪᴏɴꜱ
Fibonacci retracements is a popular instrument used by technical analysts to determine support and resistance areas. In technical analysis, this tool is created by taking two extreme points (usually a peak and a trough) on the chart and dividing the vertical distance by the key Fibonacci coefficients equal to 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 100%.
Fibonacci extensions are a tool that traders can use to establish profit targets or estimate how far a price may travel AFTER a retracement/pullback is finished. Extension levels are also possible areas where the price may reverse.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Fibonacci extensions option may require to do further adjustment of the study parameters for proper usage. Extensions are aimed to be used when a trend is present and they aim to measure how far a price may travel AFTER a retracement/pullback. I will strongly suggest users of this study to check the education post for further details where to use extensions and where to use retracements

█ Zɪɢ Zᴀɢ — The Zig Zag indicator is used to help identify price trends and changes in price trends. The Zig Zag indicator plots points on a chart whenever prices reverse by a percentage greater than a Deviation variable. Straight lines are then drawn, connecting these points. The Zig Zag indicator serves base for PitchFan and Fibonacci Retracements / Extensions

Donchian Channels Trending Breakout StrategyThis script looks for two entry signals. Long is when the previous breakout of the donchian channels was a low, price is above the input EMA, current price is equal or higher than the upper band and we're not in a position yet. Short is the other way around, so previous breakout of the donchian channels was a high, price is below the input EMA, current price is equal or lower than the lower band.
I haven't found a script that does take the previous highs and lows into consideration. Works for any markets in any conditions because the stop loss and profit targets are based on the upper and lower band of the donchian channels, which means the stop loss and profit targets move with the trend.
For more details see the script itself, I wrote a ton of comments.
Modified Donchian ChannelRelease Note:
This indicator setup highly inspired by Donchian Channel and Hull Moving Average. Big thanks to both Richard Donchian and Alan Hull.
Back test and live test it and come to conclusion of how to use this indicator for live trading.
200 HMA:
200 Hull Moving Average plays major role in deciding the right trades using Donchian Channel. As part of this setup,
If price is below 200 HMA, then the Donchian Channel is highlighted in Red color
If price is above 200 HMA, then the Donchian Channel is highlighted in Green color
Donchian Channel:
Default 20 period is used for the Donchian channel. However, the color highlight as per 200 HMA position. Also, the middle basis color changes to Green and Red based on candle close of above or below.
Additionally, 5 period Donchian basis is used as tight stop loss. This can be used wisely or optionally based on trade decisions

Optimized Linear Regression ChannelReturn a linear regression channel with a window size within the range (min, max) such that the R-squared is maximized, this allows a better estimate of an underlying linear trend, a better detection of significant historical supports and resistance points, and avoid finding a good window size manually.
Settings
Min : Minimum window size value
Max : Maximum window size value
Mult : Multiplicative factor for the rmse, control the channel width.
Src : Source input of the indicator
Details
The indicator displays the specific window size that maximizes the R-squared at the bottom of the lower channel.
When optimizing we want to find parameters such that they maximize or minimize a certain function, here the r-squared. The R-squared is given by 1 minus the ratio between the sum of squares (SSE) of the linear regression and the sum of squares of the mean. We know that the mean will always produce an SSE greater or equal to the one of the linear regression, so the R-squared will always be in a (0,1) range. In the case our data has a linear trend, the linear regression will have a better fit, thus having a lower SSE than the SSE of the mean, has such the ratio between the linear regression SSE and the mean SSE will be low, 1 minus this ratio will return a greater result. A lower R-squared will tell you that your linear regression produces a fit similar to the one produced by the mean. The R-squared is also given by the square of the correlation coefficient between the dependent and independent variables.
In pinescript optimization can be done by running a function inside a loop, we run the function for each setting and keep the one that produces the maximum or minimum result, however, it is not possible to do that with most built-in functions, including the function of interest, correlation , as such we must recreate a rolling correlation function that can be used inside loops, such functions are generally loops-free, this means that they are not computed using a loop in the first place, fortunately, the rolling correlation function is simply based on moving averages and standard deviations, both can be computed without using a loop by using cumulative sums, this is what is done in the code.
Note that because the R-squared is based on the SSE of the linear regression, maximizing the R-squared also minimizes the linear regression SSE, another thing that is minimized is the horizontality of the fit.
In the example above we have a total window size of 27, the script will try to find the setting that maximizes the R-squared, we must avoid every data points before the volatile bearish candle, using any of these data points will produce a poor fit, we see that the script avoid it, thus running as expected. Another interesting thing is that the best R-squared is not always associated to the lowest window size.
Note that optimization does not fix core problems in a model, with the linear regression we assume that our data set posses a linear trend, if it's not the case, then no matter how many settings you use you will still have a model that is not adapted to your data.
TF Segmented Linear RegressionFit a line at successive intervals, where the interval period is determined by a user-selected time frame, this allows the user to have an estimate of the intrinsic trend within various intervals.
Settings
Timeframe : Determine the period of the interval, if the timeframe is weekly then a new line will be fit at the start each weeks, by default "Daily"
Mult : Multiplication factor for the RMSE, determine the distance between the upper and lower extremities
Src : Input data for the indicator
Plot Extremities : Logical value, if true then the extremities of the channel are plotted, if false only the midline is plotted, true by default.
Usage
The timeframe setting should be higher than the current chart timeframe, note however that too large values of timeframe might return an error. Since the maximum number of lines that can be plotted is 54, using the extremities will only return 18 channels.
The indicator can be compared to the "regression trend" drawing tool
Main tf = 5 min with the indicator using a daily timeframe, the filled area is produced by the regression trend drawing tool using the same interval as the indicator, and coincide with it.
Main tf = 15 min with the indicator using a weekly timeframe, wider channel indicate that the values tend to be farther away from the fitted line.
A line with a significant slope indicates a strong trend, in that case, the width of the channel is determined by the amplitude of the retracements in the trend, with a narrower channel indicating a cleaner trend.
When the fitted line has a low slope value and the channel is wide, it means that there were two or more variations of opposite directions with large amplitudes within the interval, this also indicates that a linear model is not appropriate.
A slope approximately equal to 0 with a low channel width indicates a trendless market with cyclical variations of low amplitude in it.
Refrences
Determining the starting and ending points of the fitted line was done using a linear combination between the wma and sma
The wma and sma functions both use a series as period by making use of the Wma and Sum functions in the following script

Efficient Trend Step ChannelIntroduction
The efficient trend-step indicator is a trend indicator that make use of the efficiency ratio in order to adapt to the market trend strength, this indicator originally aimed to remain static during ranging states while fitting the price only when large variations occur. The trend step indicator family unlike most moving averages has a boxy appearance and could therefore not be classified as smooth, this makes it an indicator relatively uninteresting to use as input for other non-trending indicators such as oscillators.
Today a channel indicator making use of the efficient trend-step is proposed, the indicator has an upper and a lower extremity who can be used for breakout or support and resistance methodologies, however we will see that the indicator is sometimes able to return accurate support and resistance levels.
The Indicator
The indicator has the same settings has the efficient trend step indicator, length control the period of the efficiency ratio, fast control the period of the rolling standard deviation used for trending states, slow control the period of the rolling standard deviation used for ranging states, fast should be lower than slow , if both are equal then the indicator is equal to the classical trend step indicator and length does no longer affect the indicator output. Lower values of fast/slow will make the indicator more reactive to small variations thus changing direction more often.
The color changes you can see on the indicator are changed depending on the prior direction took by the indicator output, if the indicator where higher than its precedent value, then the color will be blue until the indicator is lower than its precedent value. Those colors help you have an estimate of the current trend direction.
Channel Calculation And Role
The extremities made from the efficient trend step allow for more advanced trading rules, they can act as stop/target level and can also give a rough estimate of the current market volatility, with wider extremities indicating a more volatile market.
The extremities are made directly from the dev element used by the efficient trend-step, the upper extremity is made by summing the efficient trend step with the value of dev when the efficient trend step change, the lower extremity is made the same way but the value is subtracted instead.
Is it a weird choice ? It sure is strange to see such approach, the absolute rolling average error between the price and the efficient trend step could have been a logical measure but using dev instead is more efficient and also allow for a more adaptive approach which can benefit the support and resistance methodology, the last reason is because i didn't wanted to "denature" the trend-step signature of the indicator.
The figure above represent the measurement used for making the extremities (in green).
Since the previously described measure change only when the efficient trend step change, we can conclude that such measure is representative of a relatively large variation, since the efficient trend step aim to only change when a large variations appear.
We can see that the upper extremity acted as an accurate resistance in this upper variation of AMD,
Here as well, however like other bands indicators it is safer to take into account the current trend direction, a strong uptrend will have less difficulties crossing the upper extremity, therefore it might be better to rely on the support (lower extremity) on an up-trending market (indicator in blue), and on the resistance (upper extremity) on an down-trending market (indicator in orange).
The figure above show support and resistances signals, a cross represent a false signal, while green arrows represent correct ones with their respective direction.
Conclusion
The presented indicator add more possibilities to the interpretation of the efficient trend step, the extremities can act as stop/target level, however this use has to be controlled, and the level should be in accordance to your risk/reward ratio.
Showcasing another trend-step indicator was a real pleasure. Thanks for reading :)

Price-Curve ChannelIntroduction
Although many will use lines in order to make support and resistances, others might use curves, this is logical since trends are not always linear. Therefore it was also important to take this into consideration, and when i published the price-line channel indicator, i already started a curved version of it. Therefore i propose this new indicator based on the recursive bands framework that allow to return curved support and resistances. The benefits of this indicator are : a totally stable approach, user friendly, and extremities able to converge faster toward the price.
The Indicator
The indicator is way faster than the price-line channel one, this is due to the fast convergence toward the price of the extremities. Length control the reactivity of the indicator, while mult is more related to the rate of convergence, values of mult lower than 1 will make the curve converge slower,
mult = .5
Higher values of mult will make the extremities converge faster toward the price.
mult = 2
Unlike the price-line channel indicator this one is directly "readjusted", this is due to the fact that the extremities are no longer linear, of course a "perfectly" curved version could come in an update, but for the moment it wasn't really a necessity.
Comparison With Price-Line
The fact that the extremities converge faster toward the price allow to possibly capture more tops/bottoms/retracements. However the extremities of both indicator have the same behavior regarding their accuracy, for example the upper extremity have a higher chance to detect a retracement when on a downtrend, while the lower extremity have higher chance to detect a retracement while on a up-trend.
On The Indicator Construction
The recursive bands framework is the core of the indicator, it is important to use it. The curved effect is given by multiplying the correction factor by the barssince function, therefore the correction factor is no longer constant which in return allow for a non linear output.
The size is divided by the square of length in order to keep a certain logic between the output and the length period.
Conclusion
The recursive bands framework prove again to be quite interesting, lot of indicators can be made using it, i only posted a fraction of what can be done with it, which make the recursive bands indicator one of the best indicators i ever made in my opinion.
The proposed indicator is stable, and don't require nightmarish manipulations (unlike the linear channels indicator), its ability to detect possible support and resistances points, although subjective, remain a feature of the indicator. The use of recursion make the indicator efficient. I hope the indicator find some use in the community.

Price-Line Channel - A Friendly Support And Resistance IndicatorIntroduction
Lines are the most widely used figures in technical analysis, this is due to the linear trends that some securities posses (daily log SP500 for example), support and resistances are also responsible for the uses of lines, basically linear support and resistances are made with the assumption that the line connecting two local maximas or minimas will help the user detect a new local maxima or minima when the price will cross the line.
Technical indicators attempting to output lines have always been a concern in technical analysis, the mostly know certainly being the linear regression, however any linear models would fit in this category. In general those indicators always reevaluate their outputs values (repainting), others non repainting indicators returning lines are sometimes to impractical to set-up. This is what has encouraged me to make a simpler indicator based on the framework used in the recursive bands indicator that i published.
The proposed indicator aim to be extremely flexible and easy to use while returning linear support and resistances, an option that allow readjustment is also introduced, thus allowing for a "smarter" indicator.
The Indicator
The indicator return two extremities, the upper one aim to detect resistance points while the lower one aim to detect support points. The length setting control the steepness of the line, with higher values of length involving a lower slope, this make the indicator less reactive and interact with the price less often.
The name "price-line" comes from the fact that the channel is dependent on its own interaction with the price, therefore a breakout methodology can also be used, where price is up-trending when crossing with the upper extremity and down trending when crossing with the lower one.
Readjusted Option
The line steepness can be readjusted based on the market volatility, it make more sense for the line to be more steep when the market is more volatile, thus making it converge faster toward the price, this of course is done at the cost of some linearity. This is achieved by checking the "readjustment" option. The effects can be shown on BTCUSD, below the indicator without the readjusted option :
when the "readjustment" option is checked we have the following results :
The volatile down movement on BTCUSd make the upper extremity converge faster toward the price, this option can be great for volatile markets.
Conclusion
The recursive bands indicator prove to be an excellent framework that allow for the creation of lots of indicators, the proposed indicator is extremely efficient and provide an easy solution for returning linear support and resistances without much drawbacks, the readjusted option allow the indicator to adapt to the market volatility at the cost of linearity.
The performance of the indicator is relative to the motion of the price, however the indicator show signs of returning accurate support and resistances points. I hope the indicator find its use in the community.
