Intraday Volatility Bands [Honestcowboy]The Intraday Volatility Bands aims to provide a better alternative to ATR in the calculation of targets or reversal points.
How are they different from ATR based bands?
While ATR and other measures of volatility base their calculations on the previous bars on the chart (for example bars 1954 to 1968). The volatility used in these bands measure expected volatility during that time of the day.
Why would you take this approach?
Markets behave different during certain times of the day, also called sessions.
Here are a couple examples.
Asian Session (generally low volatility)
London Session (bigger volatility starts)
New York Session (overlap of New York with London creates huge volatility)
Generally when using bands or channel type indicators intraday they do not account for the upcoming sessions. On London open price will quickly spike through a bollinger band and it will take some time for the bands to adjust to new volatility.
This script will show expected volatility targets at the start of each new bar and will not adjust during the bar. It already knows what price is expected to do at this time of day.
Script also plots arrows when price breaches either the top or bottom of the bands. You can also set alerts for when this occurs. These are non repainting as the script knows the level at start of the bar and does not change.
🔷 CALCULATION
Think of this script like an ATR but instead it uses past days data instead of previous bars data. Charts below should visualise this more clearly:
The scripts measure of volatility is based on a simple high-low.
The script also counts the number of bars that exist in a day on your current timeframe chart. After knowing that number it creates the matrix used in it's calculations and data storage.
See how it works perfectly on a lower timeframe chart below:
Getting this right was the hardest part, check the coding if you are interested in this type of stuff. I commented every step in the coding process.
🔷 SETTINGS
Every setting of the script has a tooltip but I provided a breakdown here:
Some more examples of different charts:

Omega IndicatorThe Omega Trend and Signal indicator is a toolkit designed to help both experienced and new traders with their trading decisions.
This indicator is a part of the omega toolkit, and his creation method is based on the concept that every trading strategy should have a way to determine the trend, or the bias, that answers the question “long or short?”; the location, which identifies the best price level to enter into a position and to exit, both in profit and in loss, and that will decide the final risk-to-reward ratio of the trade you take; the signal, which is useful to determine the best moment to enter into a position and that if paired with the trend point, his purpose is to identify when the large trend picture is in confluence with the small term; and last but not least the filter point, the filter is used to have another way to have an additional confluence with the trade you want to take, and it’s important to reduce the number of false signals and to increase the win rate.
This tool aims to help traders with the identification of the trend and the signal points, based on a large number of different formula that works combined to display the final output. It’s important to note that indicator and technical analysis is only one of the several different ways to analyze an asset.
One of the main things to keep in mind when working with the financial markets is that not every asset, every historical phase, and every market condition is the same, this is why this tool can be highly personalized and adjustable and provide different overlay tools in order to allow traders to choose the best settings considering this variable and your backtests.
This tool, thanks to the previously cited characteristics, can work on any market and any horizontal time frame, and it has different features:
- Both Trends following and Mean Reversal usage: with different trend detection and signal formulas (not to be followed blindly like any other indicator or trading method).
- Minimalistic usage: with easy-to-enable functions both functionally and aesthetically, to keep your charts clean and to give you the power to choose only what you want to use this indicator for.
- Candle coloring: the easiest way to identify the trend current situation based on the technical formula, with the color you have chosen, and with 5 different variations: strong sell, sell (same color of strong sell but less opacity), neutral, buy, strong buy (same color of buy with more opacity).
- Automatic signal coloring, that will change the way the signals are visualized based on the mid-term trend condition, giving you both entry and exit suggested signals.
- Trend signals: an option that will display the signal based on the same algorithm that works for the candle coloring, but visualizing only the most significant trend changes
- Signal filters, that works differently for trend following and for mean reversal settings, and are divided into three different categories: additional filters remove the repetitive signals in the trend following usage and the low volume signals in the mean reversal usage; location filter remove the signal that is over/below the current trend fair value, giving you only premium or discount signal based on the direction of the trade; and the confluence filter, that for trend following usage filter out signal not in confluence with the Trend cloud overlay indicator and for mean reversal keeps only the signal that is at least in the first band of the Extreme zones overlay indicator.
- Signal sensitivity optimization with the “Fast length” parameter, with base value “1” you can choose the multiplier for that parameter.
- Trend detection optimization with the “Slow length” parameter, with base value “1” you can choose the multiplier for that parameter.
- Overlay indicator optimization with the “Trend length” parameter, with base value “1” you can choose the multiplier for that parameter.
- 4 Overlay indicator to keep the analysis simple and to assist traders to see the trend clearer and identifying the best zones and conditions to enter a trade.
- The option to visualize as numbers that go from 0 to 10 the current trend strength based on the settings to want to use and calculated with the historical best number that has been displayed (it’s shown under the last candles, only if you have selected the trend following or the mean reversal settings).
- Automatic alerts for Buy and Sell signals based on the settings and the filter that you have chosen.
- The option to show only some parts of the indicator, such as the signals or the candle coloring.
- Heikin Ashi: a modified and more simple version of the classic Heikin Ashi candle that is not realistic on the market when used improperly. This option enables the overlay of the candle with the same high, low, and close of the original candle, but the open is the average of the previous open and the previous close.
The signals work this way: if the script has detected a buy signal if the current trend strength is in confluence with the signal, you’ll see a colored dot under the candle (or over if it’s sell), but if the signal is not in confluence, you’ll see a gray (or the color you have chosen for neutral color settings) mark in the same location, so under the candle, if it’s a buy signal not supported by the trend and over the candle if it’s a sell signals not in confluence with the trend parameters, and in this cases the signals aim to suggest to close your open opposite position. This works both for Trend following and for Mean reversal usage.
In this image, there are enable the Adaptive Zone and the Extreme Zones overlay indicators, with the Mean Reversal candle coloring and signal usage.
As you can see, the Extreme Zones are designed to give with a complex script the zones in which the price is likely to reverse, of course depending on the market condition and asset.
The Adaptive Zone is a modified version of the popular super trend indicator, and is designed to work in a different way: instead of giving a buy and sell signal at the switch of the direction, this tool gives its best when used as an area of support and resistance to enter a trade with a bigger risk to reward ratio.
In these other photos, you can see the Trend Midline and the Trend Cloud overlay indicators, with the Trend Following candle coloring and signal usage.
The Trend Midline is a powerful tool that includes different calculations inside and can work like a moving average to identify the level of support and resistance, take profit and stop loss. In addition to that, the Trend Midline overlay indicator is colored based on a large number of different indicators that display the final output as colors, this way, whenever the indicator is colored as the positive color (blue by default) you’ll have another confirmation that the trend is bullish, and vice versa.
The Trend Cloud is a modified version of the popular Ichimoku Kumo, created to help traders identify the trend direction the best. Another great way to use this tool is to mark a horizontal line at the price level in which the two lines of the indicator have switched in position to identify potential future levels of support and resistance.

Jdawg TDI with Shark FinsThe "Jdawg TDI with Shark Fins" (JTDI Shark Fins) is a visually enhanced version of the Traditional Traders Dynamic Index (TDI) that focuses on aiding traders in identifying potential trading opportunities in any market.
At its core, the TDI is a momentum-based indicator that uses the Relative Strength Index (RSI) in combination with moving averages to highlight potential overbought and oversold conditions, which could signal opportunities to buy or sell. In simple terms, when an asset is overbought, it could be due for a price drop, and when it's oversold, the price might soon rise.
What makes the JTDI Shark Fins unique is the addition of color-coded "Shark Fins". These are key moments when the Fast Moving Average (Fast MA) or Slow Moving Average (Slow MA) lines move outside the upper or lower Bollinger Bands (the blue lines).
When a line moves outside these bands, it's often an indication that the price is making a strong move in that direction. However, because these moments are typically short-lived, they're referred to as "Shark Fins". In the JTDI, these periods are marked with color changes:
Fast MA turns purple when it forms a "Shark Fin". This line typically responds quicker to price changes.
Slow MA turns red when it forms a "Shark Fin". This line is slower to react to price changes, providing a more steady view of the market's momentum.
Additionally, the Slow MA will turn orange when it exceeds the overbought (above 70) or oversold (below 30) thresholds, indicating strong momentum in that direction.
How to Use:
When the Fast MA (black line) turns purple (indicating a Shark Fin), it's a warning signal to pay attention as a potential significant price move might be occurring.
If the Slow MA (green line) turns red, it indicates a more sustained move in the price direction is happening.
An orange Slow MA indicates a very strong price move in that direction.
Use these signals in conjunction with other aspects of your trading strategy to confirm potential trading opportunities.
Market Suitability:
The beauty of the JTDI Shark Fins indicator is its versatility. It can be applied to any market that can be charted and where price movements create periods of overbought or oversold conditions. This includes but is not limited to Forex, Cryptocurrencies, Equities (stocks), Commodities, and even Indices.
Remember, while this indicator can provide valuable insights, it should not be used in isolation. Always consider other factors like market news, economic indicators, and other technical analysis tools when making trading decisions.
Weis Wave With Speed Index SignalsWeis Wave with Speed Index Signals
The Concept
This indicator has been created to try to quantify "Change in Behavior" concept and provide buy and sell based on this concept. What is Change in Behavior? Price is moving at speed rate based on the trading volume direction (buyers and sellers) until there is imbalance of Supply/Demand. An algorithm has been created to identify this change of Supply/Demand behavior producing a number called "Speed Index". Abnormal Speed Index notes this change in behavior when compared with previous Speed Index numbers of the same pair and in the same timeframe. Speed Index is a relevant number and it's use is to be compared with previous Speed Index numbers and not as an absolute number. Based on Speed Index Behavior of recent waves, price and price wave structure buy and sell signals are available called Plutus.
What it does
This indicator draws a waveline of price waves swings. Up swing is when price goes up and down swing is when price goes down. It adds the volume of each bar within the wave swing, it measures the distance in pips of each swing and measure the numbers of bars of each swing. Furthermore, it creates the Speed Index of each swing, the average Speed Index of x selectable wave swings back as well as the average of Speed Index of the x up swings back and the average of the down swing. The indicator is also able to designate a Fast wave which means large pip move with small volume with the letter "F" displayed next to Speed Index and a Slow wave which small pip move with small volume with the letter "S". Finally based on price, Speed Index history and structure it creates eight buy/sell signals called Plutus.
Information available for display all selectable
For each wave swing: Total Volume, Pip Distance, Number of Bars or Total Volume + Pips or Total Volume + Pip Distance+Total Number of Bars
For each wave swing: Speed Index or Total Volume + Speed Index or Speed Index + Average Speed Index or Speed Index+(F or S).
Plutus buy and sell signals when criteria of price location, speed index comparison (abnormal speed index) and wave price structure have been met.
How it does it
This indicator draws a wave-line of price waves swings. Wave Sensitivity can be adjusted by AutoSensitivity parameter (min value =2 and max value=11). The larger the number the more sensitive it is, which means more wave swings will be created. All calculations are based on each wave swing. The code calculates all the above mentioned on the "Information available for Display" section. Based on price, Speed Index history, Speed Index ratio and structure Plutus buy and sell signals are created. The default value of Speed Index ratio is 2. Decreasing Speed Index ratio will create more signals while increasing it will create less signals.
Note: last wave re-paints and no information is displayed on the forming wave, but the whole trading methodology is based on reading previous waves information.
Technical Information
Speed Index
High Speed Index number means a slow wave "S" = Abnormal Speed (high volume small pip move)
Low Speed Index number means a fast wave "F" =Anormal Speed (small volume large pip move)
Normal Speed Index number (are the more frequent numbers seen in the chart which means that the market agrees with the move).
Plutus Signals
PL - Plutus Long, this is when the price will follow in the same direction of the wave with the High Speed Index. When signal is generated we enter when price close breaks the previous two wave structure Resistance Level
PS - Plutus Short, same as above, this is when the price will follow in the same direction of the wave with the High Speed Index. When signal is generated, we enter when price close breaks the previous two wave structure Support Level
PRL - Plutus Reversal Long, this is when the price will go in the opposite direction of the wave with the High Speed Index.
PRS - Plutus Reversal Short, same as above, this is when the price will go in the opposite direction of the wave with the High Speed Index.
PFL - Plutus Fake Long, this when price will do a fast break of the previous down swing bottom and then comes back within the previous swing range (fake break)
PFL - Plutus Fake Short, this when price will do a fast break of the previous up swing top and then comes back within the previous swing range (fake break)
WU - Wyckoff Upthrust plutus (short signal)- this is when the last two swings resemble(are) Wyckoff's UpThrust pattern price swings. This resemblance together with Speed Index criteria and price break of structure create this signal.
WS - Wyckoff Spring plutus(long signal)- this is when the last two swings resemble(are) Wyckoff's pattern price swings. This resemblance together with Speed Index criteria and price break of structure create this signal.
How to use it
Draw Support/Resistance and Fib - usually supply and demand imbalance happens at his level
First and most important of all adjust AutoSesnsitivity to get your swings correct, meaning that are catching the tops and bottoms of each price wave swing.
Monitor Speed Index behavior. Be alerted from Abnormal Speed Index number. You can also set using the Extreme Threshold parameter that provide you an alert if the current Speed Index is above or below average Speed Index of x waves back and also meets the min and max bar criteria. For example if we would like to be alerted for a an Abnormal Speed Index of a Slow wave of at 3 bars then we have set the Min Slow Bar parameter to 3, the Extreme Threshold parameter to 0.5 (50%) and the Avg Waves back to 8 then an alert will be produced if the wave before the forming has at least 3 bars and the Speed Index of the wave is 50% higher than the Average Speed Index calculated from 8 waves back. For a Fast wave we can set the Min Fast Bars to 1, Extreme Threshold to 50% and Avg Waves back to 8 which means that we will get an alert if the wave before the forming one has at least 1 bar and it's Speed Index is at least 50% less than the Speed Index Average of 8 waves back.
Plutus signals provide buy and sell entries after specific criteria have been met. These signals have a higher success rate when price is exiting a range or when price is leaving from Support/Resistance or Fib. Consider Plutus signals invalid within a range unless is the exit of the range (Range Break)
What makes it unique
The ability to identify, quantify and be alerted of the Change in Behavior of waves swings when compared with recent previous wave swings making it easier for the trader to be notified about Supply / Demand imbalance. Furthermore, another unique point of this indicator is the Plutus signals providing buy and sell entries. Plutus entries take into consideration this Abnormal Behavior, the wave swings structure and price location.
Example Trades
Wyckoff Up- rust formation strategy- Reading the chart
1. We have broken a Resistance Level with a Fast Speed Index of 0.7F
2. Abnormal Speed Index of 2.3 provides the alert for abnormal Speed Index behavior. There is not a high Speed Index like that in all the up wave swings which automatic makes it abnormal Supply Demand imbalance.
3. WU - Wyckoff Up-trust plutus signal has been created, which means Short.
4. PRS - Plutus Reversal Short also created at the same location which makes the Short even a higher probability trade
5. Entry: We enter Short on the close of the bar
Exit from Range Strategy - Reading the chart
1. We are in a Ranging environment
2. PS and PRS are invalid signals because according to the rules mentioned previously we do not trade any signals created within the range when the price does not break the range.
3. PRL - Plutus Reversal Long which means that price will move in the opposite direction of the High Speed Index (the 2.2) is a valid signal since price breaks the top of the range
4. Entry Long after breaking the top of the range
PRL after Support hit Strategy and Exit from Range Strategy - Reading the chart
In this we have two different strategies available. The first one is Plutus Reversal Long signal after hitting support and the second on an Exit from Range.
The Story:
1. We have hit support (double bottom)
2. Speed Index 2.2 at the bottom is on the High side, not too extreme but on the high side.
3. A PRL long signal is generated which means that price will move in the opposite direction of the 2.2 Speed Index
4. Entry Long on the close of the bar- This trade has provided 482 pips of profit
5. Price goes into Range
6. Classic textbook strategy Exit from Range with Plutus. We get a PL Plutus Long signal which means price will follow the directions of the high Speed Index wave and in this case is the 2.7 wave
7. Entry Long after the range break. This trade provided 384 pips up to now.
Scalping The Bull PRO IndicatorName : Scalping The Bull PRO Indicator
Category : Scalping, Trend Following, Mean Reversion .
Timeframe : 1M, 5M, 30M, 1D depending on the specific technique.
Technical Analysis : The indicator supports the operations of the trader named "Scalping The Bull" who uses price action and exponential moving averages.
Suggested usage : Crypto Market only , on Altcoins showing strong trends for scalping and intra-day trades. Trigger points are used as entry and exit points and to be used to understand when a signal has more power.
Scalping The Bull PRO Indicator can identify automatically the following conformations with labels on the charts and/or custom alerts.
Shimano : look at the price records of a consecutive series of closings between the EMA 60 and the EMA 223 when a certain threshold is reached. Use the trigger points as price structures to identify entry and exit zones (e.g. breakout of the yesterday high as for entry point).
Bomb : look at the price registers a percentage variation in a single candle, greater than a threshold such as 2%, in particular on shorter timeframes and around the trigger points.
Viagra : look when there is a consecutive series of closes below the EMA 10, a breakout of the EMA should be an important sign of the change of the trend. Viagra can be used with either a Trend-following or Counter-trend approach, so it can be observed when EMA 60 is lower than EMA 223, or when EMA 60 is higher than EMA 223.
Downward fake : look when, after a cross under (Death Cross), the price returns above the EMA 223 using the yesterday high as a trigger point.
Emergence : look at the EMA 60 is about to cross over the EMA 223.
Anti-crossing : look at, after an important price rise and a subsequent retracement, the EMA 60 is about to cross under the EMA 223 but a bullish impulse brings the price back above the EMAs.
For Sales : look at two types of situations: 1) when the price falls by more than 10% from the opening price and around yesterday's low or 2) when the price falls and then reaches, in the last 5 days, a bigger percentage and then breaks a trigger point.
Colour change : look at the opening price of the session - indicated as a trigger point.
Third touch of EMA 60 : look for 3 touches below the EMA 60, and enter when there is a close above the EMA 60.
Third touch of EMA 223 : look for 3 touches below the EMA 223, and enter when there is a close above the EMA 223.
Bud : look at price when it crosses upwards the average 10 and subsequently at least 2 "rest" candles are between the maximum and minimum of the breaking candle.
Fake on EMA 10 : look for the open of a candle higher than the EMA 10, the minimum of the candle lower and the closing price returns above the EMA 10.
For Stop Loss and Profit Targets consider a proper R/R depending on Risk Management, using price structures such as the low of the entering candle and a quick Position Management moving quickly the Stop-Loss at Break-Even.
Configuration :
Graphical Configuration :
Additional EMA : You can display an additional average, e.g. 20-period average.
Session Separators : indicates the beginning of the current session (in blue) .
Background : signals with the background in green an uptrend situation ( 60 > 223) and in red background a downtrend situation (60 < 223).
Labels of Trigger Points .
Take Profit Levels with a display offset .

Scalp Signals [Premium]This Indicator combines RSI and Movinaverage, to help evaluate the optimal trend.
The RSI signal is displayed with different color zones to reflect the value on the chart. This makes field evaluation more efficient.
This indicator Includes moving averages EMA / SMA and Trendline.
EMA+SMA with a default value of 34/89/200/200 ... User can change value and color as required... As ema and SMA both have the same value that's why only three lines are visible, changing the value will reflect other Moving averages.
Trendline work on breakouts with pivot point-based levels, we introduce an indicator returning pivot point-based trendlines with highlighted breakouts. Users can control the steepness of the trendlines as well as their slope calculation method. The indicator also includes integrated alerts for trendlines breakouts.
Settings:
* Display modes EMA, SMA, TRENDLINE
* Type + Length EMA
* Type + Length SMA
* ADVANCED SETTINGS:
* Length: Pivot points period
* Slope: Slope steepness, values greater than 1 return a steeper slope. Using a slope of 0 would be equivalent to obtaining levels.
* Slope Calculation Method: Determines how this lope is calculated.
* Show Only Confirmed Breakouts: Only shows confirmed breakouts when enabled.
Usage
Any valid trendlines methodology can be used with the indicator, users can identify breakouts in order to infer future price movements.
Break labels highlight breakouts and are delayed by length bars (with the exception of breakouts with the dashed trendlines which are not delayed). By default the indicator shows any breakouts, toggling on "Show Only Confirmed Breakouts" will allow showing only significant ones. Note that this will not affect breakouts with the dashed trendlines.
The calculation method of the slope greatly affects the trendline's behaviors. By default, an average true range is used, returning a consistent slope amongst trendlines. Other methods might return trendlines with significantly different slopes.

💠 ABOUT THE SCRIPT
💎 DISPLAY
⚬ The following things are displayed by default on the chart
🔸 Live patterns in trade with XABCD labels. (filled major triangle)
🔸 Entry, Stop and Target levels on chart for all live patterns. Target level are dimmed along with reducing size when they become irrelevant
🔸 Open Trades Stat table - Show patterns ID, patterns name, status for patterns, size&age, Entry, I.Stop, T.Stop and Targets (TP1 - TP4).
⚬ Highlighted present stop (and/or trailing stop if is enabled) and next target
⚬ When there are multiple patterns on chart, Entry, Stop, and Target labels & lines & PRZ* boxes are created with specific distance from each other to provide clarity to the users
*(potential reversal zone)
⬜ SETTINGS
⚬ Let's talk about some of the settings. Almost all of these settings have already been optimized and tested over time, but for some tickers it might be better to do a new test.
💎 ZIGZAG
🔸 Length - Default is set to 8. User can change settings but it is a good idea to keep with fibonacci (5, 13, 21, 34, 55 etc)
🔸 Depth - This setting is for how many pivots indicator scan to find harmonic pattern. By default it is set as 200
🔸 Recursive Algorithm - Enabled will use recursive instead standard zigzag
💎 HARMONIC PATTERN SETTINGS
🔸 Trade Direction - Default is set to show all (bearish and bullish) harmonic patterns. Can be filtered to bullish or bearish direction.
🔸 Error Percent - Default is 8. That is error percent tolerance from perfect pattern ratio.
🔸 Maximum patterns - Maximum patterns allowed on chart at any time
⚬ When it reaches the maximum patterns and the indicator finds a new one, the old patterns will be removed
- (important for algo traders because alerts for those removed patterns will no longer be a trigger)
🔸 Pattern size
⚬ Without filter will show all patterns (regardless of size)
⚬ Show only patterns for user preference size (no more two patterns because is smaller of 280 bars)
🔸 External Filter - It can be used to filter harmonic patterns. You can build your own custom trend based scripts and use it with AHP to filter trades.
⚬ The structure of the external script must be
1 for Long/Bullish patterns
-1 for Short/Bearish patterns
2 for all (Long and Short patterns)
0 Trade is not allowed
🔸 Filter Pattern Starts
⚬ When Filter starts is enabled pattern will start for logical pivot (see example)
⚬ Disabled filter will show more patterns (still can be very profitable)
💎 STOP & ENTRY & TRAILING STOP
🔸 Trail Entry Price - If Entry is still not reached and the price is still in PRZ zone, at the new high/low will adjust Entry.
⚬ Open Stats table will show the first Entry (when patterns were found) as well as the last corrected Entry (when patterns reached Entry level).
⚬ Disable this option Entry will remain at the level when patterns are found.
🔸 Enable Targets (awaiting entry) - enabled will show potential Targets for "awaiting entry" patterns (not active patterns because they have not yet reached Entry).
⚬ The Open stats table will show all other information, risk %, R:R etc).
⚬ Risky trade but with very good R:R (not recommended for inexperienced traders, very high risk of trading hitting Stop before reaching a Target)
🔸 Stop Distance - By default is set to 5. That is percent from the last low/high when the pattern reaches Entry. Stop trail from price till pattern reached Entry level.
🔸 Entry Distance - By default is set to 16. Same for SL that is percent distance from live price. You can increase/decrease percent but remember you have to give space between live price and the entry.
⚬ If entry is close to price, trade will become active too quickly
⚬ Remember if you change Stop Distance as well as Entry Distance to check Risk : Reward (recommended R:R for the first target is about 1:1)
🔸 Trailing Type - Options for trailing type, Continuous, Stepped, Breakeven and Disabled.
⚬ Continuous - When the price reaches "Trailing Active" (initial level for activating the trailing stop), T.Stop will start from Entry or Initial Stop (based on "Trailing Starts") and follow the price by Distance or Percent (based on "Trailing by").
- example one (trailing starts from Initial Stop when TP1 reached by distance/price on picture 1 and by percent on picture 2)
- example two (trailing starts from Entry when TP1 reached by distance/price on picture 1 and by percent on picture 2)
⚬ Stepped - when price reaches Trailing Active (initial level for activating the trailing stop), T.Stop will move to the previous level
- (If "Trailing Active" is set to Target2, then T.Stop will move to Target1 when price reached TP2)
⚬ Breakeven - when price reaches Trailing Active (initial level for activating the trailing stop), T.Stop will move to Entry and stay there the entire time for that harmonic trade
- (till reached all targets or reached T.Stop)
🔸 Trailing Active - When will the Trailing Stop be activated ("Trailing Type" must be enabled)
🔸 Trailing by - Distance or Percent
⚬ Distance - T.Stop will follow live price by initial distance
⚬ Percent - T.Stop will follow live price by initial percent
🔸 Trailing Starts - Entry or Initial Stop
⚬ Entry - T.Stop will start trailing from Entry level
⚬ I.Stop - T.Stop will start trailing from initial Stop level
- (Check Continuous picture for information)
💎 TARGET
🔸 Base - The level from which the calculation for Targets is made.
🔸 Target 1/Target 4 dropdown - Targets are set by default and set in the dropdown most often used for those targets.
🔸 Target 1/Target 4 custom - If the desired ratio is not in the dropdown, then it is possible to manually enter the desired ratio.
⚬ (If you want to change some of the targets, maybe to confluence with support/resistance)
💎 PATTERNS

💎 PATTERN DISPLAY OPTION
🔸 Pattern Lines Size - thickness for harmonic patterns
🔸 Pattern Lines Type - type for harmonic pattern lines (solid, dotted, dashed)
🔸 Fill XAB/BCD - major harmonic triangle
🔸 Fill ABC/XBD - minor harmonic triangle
🔸 Enable XABCD Label - labels for harmonic pattern
🔸 XABCD Label Size - size for harmonic xabcd labels
🔸 Enable Ratio Label & Line - lines and labels that connect harmonic patterns levels and that show the patterns ratio
🔸 Ratio Label Size - ratio labels size
⚬ Lines for pattern ratio are set by default dashed and can’t be changed.
💎 PRZ & ENTRY | STOP | TARGET SETTINGS
🔸 Entry & Stop & Target Labels - by default is set to small (opt small & normal)
🔸 Entry & Stop & Target Lines - by default is set to show lines & labels & price (opt lines & labels & price or lines & labels or disable all)
🔸 PRZ Box size - size in bars for PRZ box
⚬ Added option when it is not readable on chart pattern names or entry/stop/targets offset
⚬ Maximum (last pattern) can be drawn up to 500 bars in future or you will get error for script (use this option only when you need)
🔸 PRZ Box Type of Spacing - distance between PRZ boxes. "Auto" will make the maximum distance when there are more than 3 patterns on the chart for better visibility
- (the maximum can be projected up to 500 bars in the future)
🔸 PRZ Box Manual Spacing - manual distance between PRZ boxes if is “PRZ Box Type of Spacing” set to manual
💎 STATS AND DISPLAY
⚬ These settings can be used to manage display of open and close statistic tables
🔸 Open Trades - By default is enabled and set to the top right position.
🔸 Closed Trades - By default is disabled and set to bottom left position.
⚬ The size of the table can be changed (by default it is set to small)
🔸 Enable Tool Tip for Table - can be enabled/disabled. Shows important information for each section related to Open or Closed tables.
⚬ Recommended enabled until everything related to tables is understood, and later disabled (it starts to get annoying when you accidentally cross the tables with the mouse and tooltip box pop up)
💎 OPEN STATS
🔸 Percentage - show percentage for Targets and Stops
🔸 Risk/Reward - show patterns risk to reward for each Targets
🔸 Size/Age - show patterns size (from X to D in bars) and patterns age (distance in bars when patterns “In Trade”)
🔸 Live % & R:R - enabled will show live % and R:R if you take trade in that moment
💎 CLOSED STATS
🔸 Percentage - show stats by percent instead of numbers
🔸 Display Mode - Closed trade table have three display option, Compact, Detailed and Selective
⚬ Compact - show stats for Long/Bullish and Short/Bearish patterns
⚬ Selective - show stats just for active patterns
⚬ Detailed - show stats for each enabled patterns
- All stats is for “Backtest Bars” if enabled.
- I removed some things from the previous indicator (R:R as well as trailing R:R and win rate) because I think they are not relevant in Closed Table for trade or for statistics (Open Table have that)
💎 PATTERN | CHART COLOR THEME
⚬ By default it is set to Light color theme. Color theme will affect pattern lines, XABCD labels, ratio lines and label, entry/sl/targets labels and text in the open statistics table.
🔸 Dark Theme / Light Theme - Users can change any default individual color for dark or light theme (transparency too).
⚬ Light/Dark Theme suits dark or light chart background or user can change all color to preferred trade style.
⚬ Users have extra control to change all color to preferred trade style.
💎 ALERTS
⚬ Alerts - These settings help users to choose the type of alerts they want to receive.
🔸 New - New Harmonic Pattern is identified
🔸 Entry - Harmonic Pattern reached Entry level
🔸 Target 1/Target4 - Alert when patterns reached on of Target levels
🔸 Closure - Harmonic Pattern trade is closed. Reached all Targets or Stop or Trailing Stop (if is enabled)
🔸 Long & Short placeholders - Enabled will change for alerts Bullish/Bearish text for Long/Short text
⚬ example of custom alerts with some placeholders
💎 BACKTEST WINDOW
🔸 Backtest bars - Enabled will scan patterns for that bar range (default is set to 5000)
🔷 TOOL TIP
⚬ In setting you have help from tooltip to give you almost all this information for easy understanding. Hover mouse above tool tip and windows with info will appear.
⚬ On the chart, tool tip is added for each individual Harmonic pattern to show extra information (pattern ratio, type of harmonic and where often that pattern appears in Elliott wave fractal)
⚬ Tooltip for tables will also provide all the information related to Open and Closed tables. Disabled tooltip for tables will hide all information, but the tooltip for patterns will still remain.
🔴 Possible Errors
⚬ If a mistake is made in the settings and, for example, TP2 is set to 0.618 ratio and TP3 is changed to 0.5 ratio
- (the larger target is set to a smaller ratio than the smaller target), a red text will appear over most charts to indicate the error.
⚬ If Trailing Type is enabled and "Trailing Active" and "Trailing Starts" are set to the same level (Entry), a red text will appear on the charts to indicate an error
- (change "Trailing Active" to a higher level, TP1, or lower "Trailing Starts " to "I.Start")
